Do guys use Pinterest?
The easy answer is of course they do. Pinterest is a public site and free to join so there most certainly are guys on there. Not this guy. Not yet. I'm looking for some solid experience from dads or from moms that know their guys are pinning like crazy. I'm always looking for something new […] [Read More]
Sleep is good, right?
I'd bet you're expecting the next few hundred words to be about how young kids don't sleep and how the parents often have to walk around like zombies for a while. Not this time. This one is about me. It's really easy to blame lack of sleep on a toddler and a 4 month old, […] [Read More]
BIG sandwich
I need your help. I'm trying to find out where a 20 month old would get the phrase "BIG sandwich". Em and I do not use the word sandwich in any other context than some sort of food between two pieces of bread. It's not like we say son-of-a-sandwich. Actually, that's not that bad as […] [Read More]
Pillow fight(?)
It seems that everyone I know with kids (us included) at some point asks a question posed like this: "At what point will he/she do _____?" Of course, some things depend on the person(s) involved and the examples set by the parents. Interestingly enough, some things will happen right around the same time for everyone. […] [Read More]
Ever met a kid that hates bubbles in their bath? Well, step right up, look no further, we have that child. It's quite strange. I can't figure out if she doesn't like the soapy feeling on her skin before getting fully rinsed or what. Bubbles are evil, apparently. Interestingly enough, if we blow bubbles say […] [Read More]
I knew the day would come but didn't expect it so soon
Over the long weekend, we had another first in our household. On Saturday night, Abbi didn't sleep well. This meant that I didn't sleep well. In fact, after getting Abbi back to her crib around 1:30am, I tried laying down but my mind was too busy to sleep. I ended up being awake until about […] [Read More]
What comes first, the shape or the color?
A lot of toys that are labeled for Abbi's age range include shapes, colors, numbers, and horrible noise making ability. The noise making aside, this makes sense. At one year and as coordination develops, shapes, colors, and numbers are the foundation of basic learning. So when kids are just learning, like Abbi, do you start with […] [Read More]
Rice cereal at age 5?
Em and I were out to dinner the other night. Abbi was comfortably sitting in one of those wooden high chairs often provided by restaurants. She was behaving, eating, and sitting relatively still. Bonus. Somewhere in the middle of our meal, another couple was sat near us. The guy (presumably the father) was carrying a […] [Read More]

BTW, The Guy With the Coolest Nickname in MMA is Returning to Competition at Bellator 123
Truly great fighter nicknames are hard to come by in MMA. If they aren't blatant attempts to sound intimidating using some well-worn cliche like "The Assassin" or "The Hitman", they're alliteration or pun-focused atrocities like "The Muscle Shark" Sherk or "Twinkle Toes" Trigg. I swear to God, if one more fighter calls themselves "The Pitbull", I am going to walk into the nearest MMA gym with a fully loaded AK-47 and just start spraying bullets.
Worst of all, the nicknames many MMA fighters choose often fail to fit their personalities/fighting styles. Bob Sapp is not a "Beast." Likewise, TUF 19 winner Corey Anderson does not beast 25/8, because the constraints of time prevent him from doing so. Justin McCully may be illiterate, but he is definitely not "The Nsane1." And so on, and so forth.
But in the late aughts, there was one MMA fighter who rose to prominence in the UFC thanks largely to his inventive and more importantly appropriate nickname: Tamdan "The Barn Cat" McCrory.
What is a barn cat, exactly? Well, I'm glad you asked…Read More DIGG THIS

Below you can find more information on the following abroad opportunities:- Casa Bayanihan - USF in the Philippines (Summer) - Ateneo de Manila (Semester/Year)
What can I expect? A
semester-long immersion program in Manila that provides students with a comprehensive and integrated living-learning
experience of the culture, history, social and economic conditions of
the Philippines. Casa Bayanihan is an invitation to experience the
dynamic reality of the
Philippines in an alternative study abroad program. Rooted in the four
pillars of accompaniment of marginalized communities, rigorous
academics at the local Jesuit university, Ateneo de Manila, simple
living in community, and spirituality, this integration supports
students in developing "a well-educated solidarity" needed for our
world.Perhaps one of the most formative experiences for Casa Bayanihan
students is the experience in the praxis communities, where students
build relationships with Filipinos in the midst of their daily lives.
Seeing the Filipinos as their teachers, combined with the opportunity to
reflect critically in community and individually, Casa Bayanihan is an
education for transformation.
What are
the logistics? This program allow USF students to use all
Federal, State and USF financial aid (except work study) to cover the
cost of the program. The curriculum of the Casa Bayanihan is designed

So you're struggling to squeeze in all the to-do's you have on you agenda every day? How's that working for you? It isn't just work related stuff we have to do but for a lot of people work still occupies at least 8 – 10 hours of their day, 5 days a week (or more). After we have to take care of "the rest" which means our family and last but definitely not least, we take care of ourselves.
List of priorities:
- Work
- Family
- You
That's a stupid priority that will get you nowhere!
All of the three things in that list are very important things and we need to balance all of it to feel good. Yet we tend to prioritize work as the number 1 priority, we let our bosses push us around telling us what to do and when. This leaves too little time for what's really important in life, which is you and your family and friends.
I'm not saying work isn't important or that you can't love you job, many do – including me. It's just not the most important part of your life. It used to be for me but not anymore.
Here's how it should look instead:
- You
- Family
- Work
If we prioritize ourselves and take care of our body and mind we're able to be much more efficient at work. Saying no to the stuff that we shouldn't be doing will also help de-clutter your life, so saying no to your boss is necessary if you want to control your own life and not have it run by someone else. Do what you're good at and areas where you really deliver value, leave the rest to someone else.
When you take care of yourself and become crystal clear about you work priorities you will have more time for family and friends, or whatever it is that you feel good about doing.
Next post will help you get highly efficient. I'll share the favorite tools I use to help me stay updated and how to structure and focus all the tasks, large and small, I have to deal with every day. These tools help me work smarter, not harder, leaving time for other things in life than just work.
Until then, reverse the list of priorities!

"Little Kyoto in Iyo (old name of Ehime)". The old castle town ornamented with seasonal traditional events.
Ozu, located in a basin where Ehime's largest Hiji-kawa River skirts, was developed as a castle town in Edo Period (1603-1868). The town embraces rows of old samurai residences and merchants' warehouses, which gives you an atmosphere of Kyoto. Garyu Mountain Villa, near the antique district, offers great scenic views of the Hiji-kawa River. A further walk along the river leads you to Ozu Castle. The white wall of the castle on the water is worth a look.
Early in May, numerous deep and light pink flowers cover the summit of Mt. Tomisu (320 meters) near the downtown. With 60,000 azalea trees, it is the best spot for blossoms viewing in western Japan. "Ukai" (cormorant fishing) in the Hiji-kawa River is the signature summer event. Sitting back on a houseboat, while eating and drinking, you can watch cormorant fishermen handling skillfully several cormorants to catch "ayu" (sweet fish). Early in fall people enjoy a traditional event with local cuisine called "Imo-taki", which has 300 year history. "Imo-taki" is a kind of Japanese pot-au-feu with "satoimo" (Japanese taro), deep fried bean curd, mushroom, chicken and other ingredients. Locals gather in the riverbed and eat "Imo-taki" around a large iron pot while viewing the moon. In winter you can see the misty blow, called "Hiji-kawa Arashi", which literary means the storm of the Hiji-kawa River. The difference of the heat and cold in a day causes the mist early in the morning, which rushes down into the sea.

Sustainable Agriculture
Multi-Commodity Sustainability Practices Program
The California Department of Food and Agriculture funded GVC to create a Multi-Commodity Sustainability Practices Program that brought together specialty crop commodity groups in a collaborative effort to develop a sustainable practices program strategic plan. The project was stewarded by a team including GVC; SureHarvest, a company instrumental in developing the wine industry sustainability program; and Sustainable Conservation, a non-profit that looks for economic solutions to address climate change.
Tools for Establishing a Sustainability Program
The Multi-Commodity Sustainability Practices Program resulted in two tools for commodity groups or individual growers to use in establishing a sustainability program or strengthening their industry's or organization's existing sustainable practices:
What is Sustainability?
The concept of sustainability is permeating conversations at all levels of the food system. The time is ripe for agriculture to engage in this discussion and bring the industry's knowledge and perspective to the table. The Great Valley Center works with agriculture to explore varying models and approaches to sustainability.
Defining what one means by sustainability is essential for a productive dialog to ensue. It appears that most definitions have found their root in the United Nations World Commission on Environmental and Development definition expressed in the 1987 "Our Common Future" report: "that which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore, stewardship of both natural and human resources is of prime importance. A systems perspective is essential to understanding sustainability. The system is envisioned in its broadest sense, from the individual farm, to the local ecosystem, and to communities affected by this farming system both locally and globally. A systems approach also implies interdisciplinary efforts in research and education. This requires not only the input of researchers from various disciplines, but also farmers, farmworkers, consumers, policymakers and others. Making the transition to sustainable agriculture is a process.
Reaching toward the goal of sustainable agriculture is the responsibility of all participants in the system, including farmers, laborers, policymakers, researchers, retailers, and consumers. Each group has its own part to play, its own unique contribution to make to strengthen the sustainable agriculture community.
Industry Examples
USDA Sustainable Agriculture
"Sustainable agriculture" was addressed by Congress in the 1990 "Farm Bill" [Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (FACTA), Public Law 101-624, Title XVI, Subtitle A, Section 1603 (Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1990) NAL Call # KF1692.A31 1990]. Under that law, "the term sustainable agriculture means an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that will, over the long term:
- satisfy human food and fiber needs
- enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which the agricultural economy depends
- make the most efficient use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and controls
- sustain the economic viability of farm operations
- enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.
California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance
Growing and winemaking practices that are sensitive to the environment (Environmentally Sound), responsive to the needs and interests of society-at-large (Socially Equitable), and are economically feasible to implement and maintain (Economically Feasible). The combination of these three principles is often referred to as the three "E's" of sustainability.
Almond Board of California
Sustainable almond farming utilizes production practices that are economically viable and are based upon both scientific research and common sense. It is motivated by a respect for the environment, neighbors and employees. The result is a plentiful, healthy and safe food product.
Lodi-Woodbridge Winegrape Commission
In 1989, the American Agronomy Society adopted the following definition for sustainable agriculture: "A sustainable agriculture is one that, over the long term, enhances environmental quality and the resource base on which agriculture depends; provides for basic human food and fiber needs; is economically viable; and enhances the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole." The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program at University of California, Davis (UC SAREP) emphasizes that sustainable agriculture integrates 3 main goals-environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. UC SAREP also points out that a systems perspective is essential to understanding sustainable agriculture. Farming does not operate in a vacuum. Each farmer's field is part of a complex community ecosystem, which in turn can effect or be impacted by global economics and even global ecological processes (e.g., El Nino). A systems perspective involves viewing multiple factors when considering field and farm-level decisions.
The Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing is guided by the CAWG definition.
University of California Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program
Sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals–environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. A variety of philosophies, policies and practices have contributed to these goals. People in many different capacities, from farmers to consumers, have shared this vision and contributed to it. Despite the diversity of people and perspectives, the following themes commonly weave through definitions of sustainable agriculture:
Models of Sustainability
GlobalG.A.P. is a non-governmental organization that sets voluntary standards for the certification of agricultural products around the globe. The GLOBALG.A.P. Standard is primarily designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemicals and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare.
California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance
The California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA) is a San Francisco-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization incorporated in 2003, created by Wine Institute and the California Association of Winegrape Growers to promote the benefits of sustainable winegrowing practices, enlist industry commitment and assist in implementation of the Sustainable Winegrowing Program.
Lodi Rules
Lodi Rules were California's first sustainable winegrowing standards that have been peer reviewed by scientists, academics and environmentalists and are being implemented on a region-wide basis. The Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowing: Farming Practices Standards are designed to lead to measurable improvements in environmental health of the surrounding ecosystem, society-at-large, and wine quality. Participating growers can get their vineyards certified as producing sustainably-grown winegrapes.
Positive Points System for California Citrus
Self-assessment tool for evaluating sustainable citrus management practices. A 1,100 point self-assessment tool for evaluating the extent of sustainable practices used in citrus orchards. The scores are used to educate and guide growers towards more sustainable practices and to quantify the adoption of safety programs and reduced risk practices used in California citrus. The PPS was developed through a collaborative partnership of growers, pest control advisors and the University of California Cooperative Extension personnel. The end result describes a sustainable citrus orchard in which both natural and human resources are maintained.
Sustainable Cotton
The Sustainable Cotton Project has been building bridges between farmers, manufacturers and consumers to pioneer markets for certified organically grown and sustainable cotton, including working on the ground with local farmers. SCP's guiding philosophy of "cooperation for a change" has fostered a new level of shared information among farmers, manufacturers and others in support of creating a cleaner cotton industry. In 2003, SCP joined with the Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) to strengthen its operation and reach into farm and consumer audiences. CAFF and SCP are collaborating to provide growers with information about biological farming techniques and to educate the public about the importance of reducing chemical use in food and fiber production.
SYSCO Agricultural Sustainability Program
SYSCO's sustainable agriculture program focuses on environmental stewardship and rural social vitality. They currently have a series of initiatives to address these issues:
- Integrated Pest Control
- Buy Local, Sell Fresh
- Ag-In-The-Middle Procurement
- Business Coalition For More Sustainable Food

The Golf-Course Superintendent: Jeff Carlson
How Green Is Golf?
On a bright, sharp December day, I am standing with Jeff Carlson, 59, on the 17th green at the Vineyard Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard, Mass. The six-year-old course, designed by British architects Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie, is absolutely gorgeous, a natural, fast-running, heathland layout that looks like the handiwork of Donald Ross, or possibly Old Tom Morris. What is truly remarkable about it, however, is that it's America's only truly organic golf course. By decree from the Martha's Vineyard County Commission, no pesticides or synthetic chemical treatments are allowed. (Visitors, in fact, must have their golf shoes cleansed before a round to ensure that no weeds are tracked onto the course.) Carlson, the superintendent, is the man who has to make that work. "Our mantra is, 'We strive for excellent playability,' " he says as we inspect the putting surface. "But that doesn't necessarily mean visual perfection." The rolling 17th green, by the way, looks perfect.
Before joining the Vineyard, Carlson worked with Mike Hurdzan in building and managing Widow's Walk (see The Golf-Course Architect"). He was a recipient of a 2003 GCSAA/Golf Digest Environmental Leaders in Golf Award and is the 2008 winner of the President's Award for Environmental Stewardship from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. During a tour of the course, in the clubhouse afterward, and over lunch at the restaurant inside the tiny Martha's Vineyard airport, Carlson explained how he does it.
Golf Digest: So what's the story of the Vineyard Golf Club -- what was the local opposition, and how was it overcome?
Jeff Carlson: It was very controversial to build a new golf course here. It was the first new one on the island for 30 years. The opposition was very strong, and it was for primarily environmental reasons. Water quality is the big issue here. There's a single-source aquifer for the whole island. They felt that any pesticides would poison the water.
Was that a legitimate concern?
You know, it's very hard with pesticides to say it isn't. It's like trying to prove a negative. It's a difficult thing to say. Pesticides have chemicals in them, and if the chemicals get into the water in certain concentrations, they can cause problems. Do they? No. They haven't been shown to do that. Golf-course superintendents use very small amounts of pesticides. So generally, properly used, it's virtually impossible to affect the groundwater, but "virtually" is not a 100-percent guarantee. And that's where the opponents were coming from. We had trouble with that argument because we could never say categorically that a pesticide would never get in the groundwater in quantities that would cause a problem. We couldn't absolutely guarantee that, so they didn't want it. Period. There wasn't going to be a lot of discussion about it. The opposition was so strong that they even wrote folk songs in opposition to the golf course. Even more outrageous, they were allowed to sing them to the kids in the schools on the island.
Have you heard the songs?
No, I haven't. I would give anything to hear a recording of them. But they were basically, you know, "The new Vineyard Golf Club is going to ruin the world." The opposition was very strong, emotional and passionate. Someone told us that we were deader than a snake in a wagon-wheel rut.
The course was eventually given the go-ahead by the Martha's Vineyard County Commission, but only with several stringent conditions.
Right. One of the biggest reasons that we were successful was that this land was permitted to be a 148-lot subdivision. And I think they just weighed the two things -- 148 houses and all that that brings and demands of the town, versus a 100-percent organic golf course. There was a condition that we had to have 125 low-cost memberships for islanders. We have our local high school golf team play here. We do charity events. We support the community. The golf club has done a lot to overcome the fears that this was going to be a very cloistered, private, stay-away place. It's very inclusive. And Martha's Vineyard is a very inclusive kind of place. [Note: Vineyard Golf Club is private. The initiation fee for the club's 290 members is $350,000 with annual dues of $12,000; the additional 125 island members pay just $400 a year.]

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (AP) - Firefighters and investigators have
begun sifting through the charred remains of a massive apartment
building fire in suburban Philadelphia.
Officials say two buildings at the Riverwalk at Millennium
complex along the Schuylkill (SKOO'-kul) River in Conshohocken
(kahn-shoh-HAH'-ken) suffered severe damage and will be demolished.
A local official says several hundred residents of the two
less-damaged buildings will have to wait until the demolition work
is finished within the next day or two before returning home.
Conshohocken Mayor Joe Collins says the partially completed
building where the fire started late yesterday afternoon was
largely wood framing and masonry and "just went up like a match."
Firefighters have continued to douse hot spots. The cause of the
blaze is under investigation.
More than 300 firefighters from a 20-mile area battled the
eight-alarm blaze.

The Federal College Work-Study Program stimulates and promotes part-time employment for currently registered students who are eligible for Financial Aid and are awarded Work-Study. This program gives the student the opportunity to earn a portion of their financial aid, and to explore career possibilities while gaining valuable and practical work experience.
Students are encouraged to look for a position that relates to their academic interest or career goal. Work-Study can only be used during the academic year mid September through mid June, and during quarters in which the student is enrolled in at least 6 units (undergraduate students) and 5 units (graduate students). Any unused portion cannot be carried over to the summer or to the following year.
The Work-Study program has been designed to benefit both students and non-profit off-campus employers. 60% of student's wages are paid by Federal College Work-Study funds, or other funding sources. The remaining balance (40% salary + 10% administrative fee) is paid by your organization. Your Organization will benefit by hiring employees at a minimal cost.
Does my organization qualify for the Work-Study program?
To qualify, the following requirements must be met:
Non-Profit: The organization may be public or private, must be non-profit and tax exempt as certified by the IRS.
Non-Political: The Work-Study job must be directly supervised and may not involve the employee in political activities which include working for a candidate for public office or an elected official, working on a political campaign, or lobbying on the federal, state, or local level.
Non-Religious: The work may not involve constructing, operating, or maintaining any part of a building used for religious worship or sectarian instruction.
Work must be "in the public interest" Work in the public interest is defined as work performed for the welfare of the nation or community, rather than work performed for a particular interest or group.
As a Work-Study employer, what are my responsibilities?
Your responsibilities are to:
- Provide reasonable supervision of the work performed by student participants and permit reasonable inspection by representative of the University.
- Provide to the UCSC Financial Aid and Scholarship Office, for each payroll period, records indicating the number of hours worked each week, containing your signature/certification as to the accuracy of the hours reported and of satisfactory performance on the part of the students.
- Pay to the University, upon receipt of an invoice from UCSC Student Business Services, 50% of the total compensation to be paid to the students participating in the program. Such percentage includes a 10% administrative charge.
- Notify the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office (cc: Career Center), in writing, of the date and reason for the termination of any Work-Study student.
- Provide Worker's Compensation coverage for the student.
How do I become a Work-Study employer?
You need to download the Work-Study contract forms and complete and sign the Work-Study agreement. Once the agreement has been completed and signed by the authorized signatory person of your organization and received by the Career Center, we will forward the agreement to the director of the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office.
If you had an agreement with UCSC the prior year, the director of the Career Center will approve the Work-Study agreement. Proof of IRS/State Franchise Board letter(s) of Exemption or Articles of Incorporation will NOT be necessary in this case.
Please contact the work-study coordinator to verify if your Work-Study contract has been approved, and get your user name and password to create your Student Employee Request (ER) on line.
Where and how can I advertise my Work-Study job listing?
Work-Study jobs submitted to the UCSC Career Center may be posted on the on-line Student Employee Request (ER) System. Employers may log into Employee Request System to view your job listings using the user name and password provided to you by the Career Center.
Read the instructions in "How to Create a Work-Study Job Online". By completing your Student (ER) on line, you can choose to have your job posted or not. The Career Center will review, and if applicable, will post your Student Employee Request (ER).
The Career Center must approve all employee requests. All hires must have an approved ER (job description) in the ER system.
When are students able to see my job listings?
Jobs can be posted at any time during the school year except during the summer term. The earliest jobs can be posted is ten working days before the start of fall quarter in September.
Students can view your job postings and apply by logging into the Student Employee Request (ER) System. Only students registered for the current term, and who have accepted their Work-Study award may apply on-line. When a student applies to a job posting, you have the option of receiving notifications via email.
How do I view the applications?
As soon as the ER has been approved by the Career Center,employers may log in to the Employee Request (ER) System to view your job listings and applications using the user name and password provided to you by the Career Center. As an off-campus employer you must contact students that you would like to interview directly.
Students may apply for your approved job at any time, however Work-Study jobs are not posted until ten working days before the start of fall quarter; this date changes every year. Employers will receive a date notification from the Career Center. You may also email the Work-Study Coordinator.
Once an applicant has been selected the employer must complete the on-line hiring process using the Employee Request (ER) System.
How do I hire a Work-Study student?
Employers must hire Work-Study students on line by using the Career Center Employee Request (ER) System
- Click the "applications" link

Click here for a detailed instructions Steps for Hiring Students
If not already in the payroll system, the student should be prepared to visit the Career Center with all required documents for payroll sign up. It is your responsibility to prepare the student.
How do I rehire students returning to a job they had last year?
To re-hire a student, who worked for you before, for the current year, please follow the steps below.
Please note that before hiring the student, you must confirm with them that they want to use their Work-Study award with your organization.
- Work-Study students returning to the same job they had last year must be re-hired each year. They are not required to re-apply on-line, but Work-Study award usage must be clarified before you complete a hire action for the current year. Work-Study awards shown on any student application are always current.
- Supervisor may use previously submitted student application to click "Start Hire", then "Complete Hire" for current year.
How do I know when the student can begin work?
The hire record in the Student Employment (ER) System will show a completed date when the student's payroll paperwork has been completed .
After the student has completed and signed all payroll forms at the Career Center, the student will receive a Clearance to Commence Work "Blue Card". You MUST ask to see this card BEFORE they can begin working for your agency. This card will have the date when the student can officially start working and recording hours on their time sheet.
Students who are already active in the payroll system may start work immediately and do not need a blue card. When you click "complete hire", the system informs you of the next steps.
What documents does the student need to begin work?
All employment/payroll paperwork will be taken care of at the Career Center. If not active in the payroll system, the student will need to come to the Career Center with documentation showing identity and eligibility to work in the US. Some common documents are:
- Social Security Card
- Picture ID (Campus ID is okay)
- US Passport
Detailed Document List of all acceptable documents
Original documents only
Copies WILL NOT be accepted!
What do I do if a student employee is no longer working for my organization?
You must contact the work-study processor in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office as well as the work-study coordinator at the Career Center to let them know there has been a change.
How many hours is a student allowed to work for my organization?
Students must arrange the work hours and schedule with you. As an employer you should understand that academics must take priority over the job. The maximum number of hours a student may work in a week is nineteen hours (19) while attending classes. The maximum hours a student may work per week during a break is 40 hours. Students may work during academic year breaks if they are enrolled in both the quarter before and the quarter after the break
If I hire a Work-Study student, what are their maximum earnings?
Each eligible student receives a Work-Study award amount that represents the maximum amount the student may earn (total wages) under this program. This generally does not exceed $2,300 for an academic year and is often less than $2,300. If the student employee's earnings exceed their Work-Study award as authorized by the UCSC Financial Aid and Scholarship Office, your organization will be charged for 100% of the wages that exceed the earnings limit (award amount). You may wish to hire the student directly on your payroll if their Work-Study funds run out.
Am I responsible for keeping track of the student's Work-Study earnings?
Yes. The employer and the student share the responsibility for monitoring the amount of Work-Study money earned. When a student is within $200.00 of their earnings limit, the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office will send you a notice. You may also monitor the student's remaining work-study balance by looking at either the student job application or hire record in the ER system. You or your organization are responsible to pay 100% of wages earned above the student's earning limit. Time sheets will not be accepted and students cannot be paid through the University Payroll system after the work-study allocation is exhausted.
In addition, it is your responsibility to ensure that student hours are distributed equally throughout the quarters the student will be enrolled. In most cases, students will enroll for three quarters and the employer should make an effort to ensure that the students hours are divided evenly over the three quarters so that their Work-Study earnings are received at the rate of 1/3 each quarter.

To ensure the student receives the maximum benefit of the Work-Study award, it would be helpful for the employer and the student to estimate the maximum number of hours the student can work each week during the academic year (usually 10 weeks for each quarter of enrollment) based on the award amount and the student's pay rate.
How do I report student's hours?
Please see: New time reporting proceedure
What if I am late turning in time sheets?
As an employer, it is your responsibility to submit time sheets before the established deadline. If the time sheet is received after the deadline it will result in a one-month delay in your Work-Study student's pay check.
If I want to give my student a pay raise, what should I do?
To change an employee's pay rate, please submit an email to the work-study coordinator AND the Financial Aid and Scholarship office, please include the following information:
- Employee's name
- New rate of pay
- Effective date of the change
- Reason for the raise
The change will take approximately one month to complete.
Who determines Work-Study eligibility and award amount for UCSC students?
The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office is responsible for determining the financial need and eligibility for each student who applies for financial aid. Nationally established guidelines determined by federal and university policies are used to calculate eligibility. Students who are eligible may be awarded aid through a variety of programs including grants, loans, scholarships, and Work-Study.
A student must complete an application for financial aid in order to be considered for a Work-Study award. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be submitted to Federal Student Aid Programs, www.fafsa.ed.gov by the published deadline in early May. As funding permits, late applicants are processed on a first-come, first-served basis after all applications completed on-time have been awarded.
Am I responsible for dividing a Work-Study award between multiple jobs?
No, work-study funds will be used on a first come, first served basis when there are multiple jobs. Employers will be notified via email when a student is hired into an additional work-study job. A student has the option of working with their supervisor to convert any job from work-study to non work-study.
As an employer, do I need to know the student eligibility requirements?
YES...student employees must meet specific requirements to remain eligible to hold a student Work-Study position.
Students are not eligible to work if:
- The student is registered less than half-time at UCSC.
- Loses eligibility for financial aid/Work-Study.
- Has withdrawn, is on leave of absence or has been barred from enrollment.
- Gross wages exceed the total Work-Study award.
Who bills me the other 50% of the student wages?
UCSC Student Business Services will invoice for the 50% due which includes a 10% administrative surcharge. The invoice will include an itemized description of the amounts due to UCSC.
Checks should be made payable to: UC Regents
Pleasemail to:
UCSC Cashier's Office
102 Hahn Student Services Building,
Santa Cruz, CA 95064
Please include the top portion of the statement with the check. Please identify your payment with the account number listed on the invoice. Questions regarding the bill should be directed to the work-study processor in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office.
How do the Payroll/Personnel System policies apply to Work-Study employees?
As UCSC casual-restricted employees, students are eligible to accrue sick leave and holiday pay when they work over 50% of the hours of the month.

In outlawing prayer in school we departmentalized God. In refusing to acknowledge that we are three parts; body, mind and spirit, we created a spiritual void that allowed evil to wreck havoc.
We can debate rather societal change lead to the removal of prayer or the removal of prayer lead to societal change. What is not debatable is the change in our moral compass since the ACLU won their court battle over prayer in school.
Most boys my age carried Boy Scout-type knives to school. I remember a classmate bringing a German luger to school as part of a project. No one feared for their life.
Darrell Scott, the father of a victim of Columbine High School, spoke to a subcommittee of Congress in 1999. The following poem was part of his statement:
"Your laws ignore our deepest needs;
Your words are empty air;
You've stripped away our heritage;
You've outlawed simple prayer;
Now gunshots fill our classrooms;
And precious children die;
You seek for answers everywhere;
And ask the question 'Why?'
You regulate restrictive laws through legislative creed;
And yet you fail to understand;
That God is what we need!"
How many children have died since Columbine?

Duke's Wilcox hired as Florida State's AD
In the middle of helping lift Duke football out of its on-the-field doldrums, Stan Wilcox simultaneously played an impact in helping the team through its darkest hours last summer.
Duke's senior deputy athletics director, Wilcox and his wife, Ramona, became the people Leslie Holliday counted on after her son, Duke wide receiver Blair Holliday, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a July 4, 2012 personal watercraft accident.
"I feel like Stan was an intricate art of helping our family feel secure," Leslie Holliday said Wednesday upon learning that Wilcox was leaving Duke to become Florida State's athletics director. "He was always a calming force. I think that we knew that we could always count on him and rely on him to get the information we needed to make important decisions."
Holliday said the Wilcoxes were "invested" in her family's needs and he's remained close to her as Blair Holliday fought back from the brink of death to become an undergraduate assistant football coach and resume his full-time Duke studies.
"Having Stan as a part of the team that helped our family move forward during the difficult time was something that gave our family a lot of security," Leslie Holliday said.
Wilcox's professionalism and ability to make strong personal connections are major reasons why Florida State President Eric Barron said he was the choice to run the school's athletics department.
"His exceptional portfolio of strategic planning and fundraising experience and his reputation as a motivator, effective communicator and facilitator, as well as a commitment to the education of our student athletes made Stan a clear choice," Barron said upon announcing the hiring on Wednesday in Tallahassee, Fla.
A former Notre Dame basketball player who was part of a 1978 Final Four team with the Irish, Wilcox earned a law degree in 1988 from Brooklyn (N.Y.) Law School.
He has administrative experience both and Duke and at Notre Dame. In addition, he was an associate commissioner of the Big East Conference for 11 years and was a legislative assistant at the NCAA from 1989-94.
This will be Wilcox's first athletics director's job. He replaces Randy Spetman, who was reassigned to a lesser position in the FSU athletics department last June.
"I have followed Florida State athletics from afar and through the ACC Conference, and have always been a big fan of FSU's student athletes on the field and in the classroom," Wilcox said. "I look forward to continuing in the great tradition of previous Florida State athletic directors as well as addressing the challenges and opportunities that this outstanding athletics program will hold."
Florida State men's basketball coach Leonard Hamilton, a Gastonia native who was formerly Miami's head coach when the Hurricanes were in the Big East, said his experience with Wilcox then makes him ecstatic with his hiring now.
"I can't think of a more qualified person to take over our program at this important time for both Florida State and the new ACC," Hamilton said. "With the growth of the ACC, it has the potential to become the greatest conference in the history of college athletics. We are very fortunate to have a person of Stan Wilcox's character and experience taking over our program."
Working at Duke under athletics director Kevin White for the last five years, Wilcox's duties including oversight of the football program. That included coordinating the football schedule. Last season, Duke made a bowl game for the first time in 18 years.
"Florida State," White said, "is gaining a highly seasoned professional in Stan Wilcox, who has an outstanding track record, 'moving the needle' at every turn. A truly gifted and well-respected leader, Stan has the distinct ability, relationship skills, and industry knowledge to be the 'clubhouse leader' within all of college athletics."
Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said Florida State made an 'excellent' hire.
"He is highly respected – at all levels – within Duke University and beyond," Krzyzewski said. "From a coach's perspective, he will be an athletics director who will provide the support, leadership and passion to create a culture of excellence. In all instances in which Stan and I collaborated, he handled them professionally, ethically and responsibly. Most importantly, all generated terrific outcomes."
Wilcox will oversee a Florida State athletics department that sponsors 20 teams and has an annual budget of $75.2 million.
"We could not be more excited for Stan to take his next step professionally at Florida State University," Duke football coach David Cutcliffe said. "In my 30-plus years in college athletics, I have never been associated with a person with more integrity or reliability; he will be a terrific ambassador for Florida State and the Tallahassee community. We certainly thank him for his time and effort spent in helping our football program reach new heights both academically and athletically."

There are two parts to fully migrating from Gmail to Outlook.com – importing your existing mailbox and setting Gmail to forward all future messages to your Outlook account. Here's an easy guide.
1. Sign in to your Outlook.com account. If you don't already have one, create a free Outlook account via Live.com.

7. Sign in to your Google account.
8. Grant Outlook access to your Gmail account by hitting Accept. Depending on the size of your inbox, be prepared to wait a few seconds before the next page loads.

And you're all set! Now you can forget all about your Gmail account without having to worry that you're missing messages.
Hi thanks for this. it all makes sense except for the email forwarding. My outlook.com account was setup with only a gmail address as the username (it looks like yours was too). So, there is no email address to forward to, since the gmail account is the only one associated with the outlook account.
for example, according to your instructions, you would login to gmail (email@example.com), and forward email to firstname.lastname@example.com, which doesn't make sense.
So helpful!!! Thanks very much
I have rried this about 7 times and it fails every time. Is there any troubleshooting you could recommend please?
Thank you so much!!! My dad's Gmail filled up his Google Drive (15 GB). I can't believe they count Gmail as part of Google Drive!!! Now they want him to pay to increase his storage. I spent hours trying to download and then delete emails. And then Google put a lock on the account because so much was deleted! Now I'm transferring his emails to an equivalent Outlook account. Good riddance!!! NO way am I paying for email

Sebastian eager to move forward with waterfront museum
SEBASTIAN — Films about commercial fishing along the Indian River in the 1800s are just one of the ideas under consideration for the interactive museum at Sebastian's working waterfront.
City Manager Al Minner has applied for a Coastal Partnership Initiative Planning grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to help pay for the museum, which will be built with the assistance of the Indian River County Historical Society and the Sebastian Historical Society.
County historian Ruth Stanbridge said she was delighted to learn about the grant possibility, which would cover about $15,000 in museum planning and design costs.
"We've been waiting patiently in the wings," Stanbridge said. "Once the city finishes up the leases for the working waterfront, we can get moving on the museum part of the project."
Minner said he is close to completing a draft of the leases and expects to present them to the City Council for consideration on Jan. 23.
"We think the best way to handle the waterfront is to split the (current) lease on the properties," said Minner. "There are still a few issues like special events and insurance to work out, but I'm hopeful that we've found a middle ground."
The city owns two parcels in the 1500 block of Indian River Drive that are part of the working waterfront project. The first parcel is the old Hurricane Harbor site, which includes a fish market, eatery and museum. Only the fish market currently is operational.
The second parcel is a small commercial fish house directly south of Hurricane Harbor. Both parcels are leased to a nonprofit group of commercial fishermen called Fisherman's Landing Sebastian.
To maintain better control of the Hurricane Harbor site, the city wants to renegotiate the Fisherman's Landing lease and split it into two. The city would operate the fish market, eatery and museum, while Fisherman's Landing Sebastian would operate the small fish house.
Stanbridge envisions the museum to be interactive, not just a place that contains old fishing equipment. Large photographs, collages, backdrop panels with themes and display cases and cabinets for artifacts are part of the plans, she said.
"There'll be a little corner set aside as a theater to run short film clips," said Stanbridge. "It will tell the commercial fishing story of the Indian River Lagoon and is really a delightful story. It makes you really appreciate where our seafood comes from."
Other exhibits that could be included in the museum are:
The history of the Indian River Lagoon, including flora, fauna, habitat and geography.
Indians and Spanish influences on the area, including maps.
Early settlers and the commercial fishing industry.
Eco-Heritage Tourism including the Scenic Highway, the Sebastian Inlet and Florida Inland Navigation District.

BOSTON -- Catherine Parker (Westford, Mass.), a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire, was named to the inaugural America East All-Academic Women's Cross Country Team, the conference announced Wednesday.
This marked the first time that America East named All-Academic teams for each of its fall sports and student-athletes from cross country, field hockey, soccer and volleyball were honored for achievements in athletics and academics.
Parker, who was the top Wildcat finisher in every race she ran this season, led UNH to a third-place finish at the America East Championship by finishing fifth overall. She also led the 'Cats to first place at the 39th Annual Albany Invitational with her fourth-place finish in the race. Parker earned the America East Performer of the Week award Sept. 21 after winning the Third Annual Ted Owens Cross Country Invitational at Central Connecticut State. Her victory led the Wildcats to the team title.
Last year, Parker was named to the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll for recording higher than a 3.50 GPA in the Fall 2004 semester.
Each All-Academic team was selected based on the student-athletes' academic and athletic accomplishments. Academic achievement for consideration required a minimum cumulative grade-point-average of 3.00 entering the Fall 2005 season. Athletic accomplishment standards varied by the sport. For team sports, nomination to the post-season awards ballot was required for consideration and the size is restricted to the number of starters on the field/court. For individual sports, student-athletes qualified by becoming a medalist at the conference championship meet and those teams are open to all those who also meet the academic standard (no size limit).

Contact details:

Satish Padiyar was educated at University College London, where he gained his PhD (1999), working with Helen Weston and Adrian Rifkin. He taught at the University of Leeds and at University College London, and was the recipient of a J. Paul Getty Postdoctoral Fellowship, before joining The Courtauld as Visiting Lecturer in 2005. He worked as chief curator on The Triumph of Eros. Art and Seduction in 18th Century France, at the Hermitage Rooms, London, in 2006. He was appointed Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century European Art in 2008.
Current Research and Interests
Recent areas of work include the history of sculpture, European neoclassical painting, the relation between art and philosophy, and critical theoretical approaches to the history of art. An interest in rethinking European neoclassical painting and sculpture with queer, feminist, psychoanalytic and Marxist theory culminated in his book Chains. David, Canova, and the Fall of the Public Hero in Postrevolutionary France (2007), reviewed in The Burlington Magazine, Art History, Oxford Art Journal, and The Journal of Modern History. The book offers a fresh account of European Neoclassicisms of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, by attending to questions about the male body, notions of self, Kantian aesthetics, and sexuality. He is currently researching and preparing a book on the senses of freedom, or 'free agency', in European modern art, from Fragonard to Twombly, c. 1750 – 1960, which will include chapters on the art of David, Courbet, Cézanne and Picasso. He is writing a commissioned monograph on Jean-Honoré Fragonard, for completion in 2016.
Programmes Taught During Forthcoming Academic Year
MA: The Male Body in Nineteenth-Century European Art
This course focuses on depictions of the male body in nineteenth-century painting and sculpture, in the work of David, Canova, Ingres, Géricault, Courbet, Manet, Caillebotte, and others. The political and theoretical challenges of recent feminism have provoked a range of cultural responses about men and masculinity. In particular, since the 1990s there has been continuing debate about whether masculinity is irrevocably 'in crisis', due to the erosion of once-secure gender boundaries, sexual identities and roles. From this contemporary perspective the course will address a number of questions. How might we understand the shift in nineteenth-century history paintings from homoerotically charged androgynous male nudes to ones of hyper-inflated masculinity? And what happens to the represented classical body itself in the face of a powerful emerging concentration on modernity and modern life? The course will also focus on depictions of the aestheticized male body in relation to questions of colonialism and racialized others, the homosocial and military ethos, and the history of sexuality. The course is of especial interest to those wishing to engage with current theories of self, sexuality, desire and vision, as articulated by Judith Butler, Jacques Lacan, Eve Sedgwick, Kaja Silverman, and Klaus Theweleit.

- Dryer stopped heating with motor running, then shortly thereafter the motor stopped but continued to hum
- Opened up unit and found Black wire between heating element and motor input was melted at motor plug--also found other (Purple) wire leaving heating element to cycling thermostat was severely heat damaged at plug on the heater terminal. Both damaged wire ends showed green oxidation on the copper wires, suggesting protracted time for the damage to occur. (I previously replaced these wires with large (10Ga vice OEM 14Ga) wires, and Hi-Temp connectors, for the same reason, about 5 years ago.)
- Checked continuity across Hi/Low/Limiting thermostats at room temp--all good. Also checked them for shut-off at higher temperatures (in an oven), all working properly
- Replaced melted wiring and connectors. Plugged the unit back into the wall and immediately detected heater element becoming hot, even though it had not been turned on at the control panel. Immediately disconnected the dryer from the wall plug
- Checked for ground between heating element and ground and neutral--both tested good (Open)
- Checked for continuity between motor plug (that had the previously melted, Black wire leading into it from the heater) and found continuity from the heater input plug and one of the 120V leads on the wall plug. (the Black wire was disconnected for the test) I think this should be an Open when the motor is not running
- Does this indicate I have a bad motor switch and need to replace the motor?
Thank you for any insight you might have.
