Publication Summary
Report 96-4: Progress Report on the Community College Transfer Function: A Report to the Governor and the Legislature in Response to Senate Bill 121 (Chapter 1188, Statutes of 1991)
Published by The California Postsecondary Education CommissionJune 1996View Full Publication
Senate Bill 121 (Chapter 1188, Statutes of 1991) implements recommendations of the 1988 report of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Review of the Master Plan regarding desirable improvements in the operation of the transfer function in California public higher education. In this report, the California Postsecondary Education Commission provides an assessment of the progress that has been made in achieving the goal of SB 121: improving student transfer among the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and the University of California. The report demonstrates that the transfer function involves several complementary components -- from systemwide programs and services to personal, interinstitutional relationships -- which mitigate against relying on a single measure of its effectiveness. Statistical information available on student transfer show that, despite the effects of nearly a half-decade of recession-driven funding reductions, the numbers of students taking advantage of transfer opportunities to continue their academic careers after high school have recovered from several years of decline to reach its highest point this decade. However, despite the success of California's public colleges and universities in facilitating student transfer from community colleges to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions, many of the interpersonal and interinstitutional components of the transfer function have suffered as a result of fiscal stringency. Three case studies of campus practices and perceptions regarding student transfer have been included in this report to provide an "on-the-scene" view of the transfer function and process from the perspectives of staff, faculty and students on California's campuses. Their varying perceptions of the relative importance of the individual components of the transfer function point to the level of complexity in the actual transfer process. Strong evidence that the transfer function is still operational, and is perceived by students to be a viable route to attainment of a baccalaureate degree or higher, can be derived from the fact that more students are making the transition from community college campuses to baccalaureate institutions within California; this despite declining fiscal and human resources being devoted to the transfer process. In addition, legislation has been recently adopted that seeks to encourage even greater collaboration between community colleges and public universities (SB 1914, Killea) and among community colleges (SB 450, Solis). Coupled with the Commission's review of transfer activities, several areas have been suggested as goals to be pursued in an effort to strengthen and expand the transfer function. The Commission adopted this report on June 3, 1996.

Move over e-commerce strategies, social media campaigns, same day delivery, Bitcoin payments and all things drone: there is a new disruptive technology in town.
3-D printing.
Sure, the concept has its drawbacks. As low-cost printers come to market, consumers will have the tools to print out their supplies and parts, instead of visiting their local hardware store or big box retailers—and some certainly will. However, the advantages the technology poses for retailers far outweigh these lost sales.
The legal issues that 3-D printing introduces though, now that could be another matter.
From Parts to Jewelry
First, though, let's look at what retailers are doing with 3-D, or in the case of Wal-Mart, apparently thinking of doing.
Comments Wal-Mart CEO Doug McMillon made at last month's Code Conference in California caught the attention of analysts in general and the 3-D printing community in particular. The retailer is definitely interested in the technology, and may well make an acquisition in this space. "We can use 3-D printing over time for replacement parts," he said, according to Bloomberg Bloomberg.
Or consider this: Wal-Mart is reportedly finding it more challenging than expected to fulfill its pledge last year to buy an extra $250 billion in U.S.-made goods over the next decade, according to Reuters. U.S. manufacturing, it seems, has idled in the wake of the wave of offshoring of the last generation and capacity and expertise is not where Wal-Mart needs it to be.
But suppliers can get up to speed awfully fast, harnessing 3-D technology. And the retailer already has a pilot program in place in which it offers 3-D imaging and printing-services programs.
Not to be outdone, Amazon has launched its own pilot program to sell 3-D printed objects on its website. The site offers such products as 3-D printed jewelry, toys, games and home décor.
Then there is Staples Staples, the poster child for brick-and-mortar retailers wounded by e-commerce and struggling to find their new niche in this environment. 3-D printing appears to be one of its strategies and it would be a very smart one if it weren't so easily replicated. Earlier this year the retailer announced a partnership with 3D Systems 3D Systems to offer 3-D printing services in two Staples stores in New York City and Los Angeles.
Consumers and small businesses use the printing hardware to create personalized products. Fortunately Staples seems to have bigger plans for 3-D then just acting as a glorified Kinkos for the technology.
Damien Leigh, Senior Vice President of Business Services for Staples, said when the pilot was announced that the test "will help us learn about our customers' needs for a local 3-D printing service, and how Staples can help them make more happen for their business through 3-D printing.
Nor is 3-D printing limited to the largest brands or for that matter, brick-and-mortar stores. E-commerce jeweler Brilliance is using the technology to send–or have customers print out–3-D made plastic rings to try out different shapes and sizes before they shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars for a diamond ring. Indeed the only drawback for Brilliance appears to be that some customers realize that the 2-caret size is not for them after all when they try on the ring and see how ginormous the stone is. This is not a development I would have seen coming—ever–but that is what Shai Barel, director of strategic partnerships for Brilliance, tells CNET.
Although everyone thinks they would want a 2-carat diamond ring, sometimes it would look funny if the person's fingers are too thin. The same is true with the shape of the ring. A 1-carat round-cut diamond looks bigger than a 1-carat in any other shape. Providing customers with the ability to see and feel what they would like to purchase is golden.
What's great about these examples, including and most especially Brilliance's, is that they can be easily applied to any sized retailer or supplier to a retailer. The knowledge base around additive printing grows by the day and as mentioned above, the hardware is dropping in cost.
What is not so great about these examples—what is downright frightening in fact if you are not a Wal-Mart or Amazon with a slew of lawyers on tap–is that there are a number of legal questions around these strategies whose answers are unclear.

PHOENIX, Ariz. (WTVR) — A woman charged in her lover's slaying is testifying about the day of his death, and describing for jurors how the victim's rage was escalating, and how she never planned to kill him.
Jodi Arias has spent seven days detailing the events that to Travis Alexander's death in June 2008 at his Mesa, Arizona home.
On Tuesday she began discussing the details that led up to the killing.
Arias talked about showing Alexander pictures she took of him in the shower, when she said something bad happened. She dropped Alexander's camera and it slammed into the floor.
Arias told jurors how she became frightened over Alexander's rising temper. In fact, she said he lifted her off the ground and body slammed her onto the bathroom tile.
That's when she said he screamed out that her five-year-old could have done a better job holding onto the camera than she did.
"I was scared. I was thinking, 'crap,'" Arias said. "Because this is everything I was trying to avoid downstairs when he started getting mad. I was doing everything I could to avoid that — and I still screwed it up – and now he's pissed again. "
Arias went on to say that they were both freaking out — and ended up rolling into the hallway. She said she took off and ran down the hallway.
But when Alexander started to chase her, Arias said she became fearful that he might kill her. In turn, she ran into his closet and grabbed Alexander's gun.
Arias said she ran back out of the closet, brandishing the gun at Alexander even as he continued to chase her, so he would stop chasing her.
Arias has said earlier that she drove from California to meet Alexander and that she had no gun or knife with her. He was shot and stabbed multiple times.
Prosecutors must prove she planned the killing to secure a first-degree murder conviction and the death penalty.
Arias has claimed the killing was self-defense after Alexander attacked he, but prosecutors said she killed in a jealous rage.

It is a fact commonly acknowledged by many that retailers and brands need each other. Retailers and brands are essential to each other so as to mutually benefit and prosper together. However, the present set up is unfortunately the other way around. They separately try to make progress but more often than not, it is not perfectly achieved. This is because brands have the capacity of creative online promotion without the ability to market them in the local setting.

If you gauge success on being better than Oklahoma, Georgia and USC, then grab a cold one and celebrate. I gauge success on consistently being a SEC and national championship contender. And, at worst, a top 10 finisher. This program is headed in the wrong direction, and something needs to change. I say start with Les Miles. Thanks for the ring, Les, now here's the door.
I'm not too worried about what mistakes Houston Nutt made. All I know is he just won his third game in a row against Les Miles. LSU is slipping into mediocrity under Les Miles. Two losses in a row against Ole Miss. Two in a row against Arkansas. I like Les as a person, but this loss is squarely on his shoulders. Too much talent not to be a consistent top 10 team.
This loss falls squarely on Les Miles. You have a first and ten with 54 seconds left and two time outs. All you need is a field goal. Hand it off to Riddley and let him get what he can get. Better yet, hand it off to Shepard. How about a QB draw. All you need is another 5-10 yards max. No way should your QB drop and risk a sack. Nice job Les.
I've got no problems with CWS. They do a great job, and I don't mind paying extra for a new can. Lowest bidder will provide the parish with the worst service. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Search Engine Optimisation
What is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is a technique that helps search engines, like Google, find and rank your site higher than the millions of others when someone types in a search query. It therefore helps your site to receive more visitors.
Why is it important?
Reviewing SEO performance shows
- how well you are doing in search results
- your overall brand exposure
- accessibility on the web.
Modern search engines use highly sophisticated algorithms to determine how appropriate content is for actual users, and the success of a search engine relies on it being able to determine if the content within a page is appropriate for a particular topic.
How can we help?
We can help you with SEO, whether we're developing your site or not.
We'll improve your website's ranking on keywords in search engine results using our extensive knowledge of SEO.
What's involved?
When optimising your site for searches, the most influential factors are:
- Content and keywords
- Page accessibility and validation
- Off-page factors/backlinks
- Measurement/conversions
We examine these and recommended a strategy to increase the chances of your pages being found.
Content and keywords
Keywords are the actual terms users search for in search engines. These are vital because if the way a search engine views your site does not match what your ideal users/customers are searching for, then they may never find you.
Keyword research involves identifying which keywords (search terms) your target audience are using, that you should include on your website to optimise your content. This will give it the best chance of being found on search result pages.
For best results each page should be unique both in the collection of keywords it focuses on and its content as a whole. Sharing of common keywords or content across multiple pages makes it difficult for machines to distinguish which page is the "expert" on a shared topic. Search engines will penalise duplicated copy in preference to unique content.
Page accessibility and validation
Page accessibility looks at how easy it is for search engines to find and index the pages you want indexed on your site. Page validation is important to SEO because it ensures:
- your pages are written in a language that programs such as search engines understand
- your website will behave and appear consistently in a variety of current and future browsers.
Attention must be given to how a validated page is structured so that search engines understand the relative importance of all the different elements on each page. All our sites are designed to produce clean, well-structured HTML, easily understood by search engines.
Off-page factors/backlinks
Backlinks (also known as inbound links) are links from external sites to your website. Search engines like Google use backlinks to help determine how relevant your pages are. We look at what sites are influencing your site and your competitors' sites and determine the best strategy for increasing the ranking of your pages.
Social media also now impacts the success of your website, in its ability to attract social mentions and create social conversations. Each social network has its own social currency. Facebook has likes, Twitter has retweets, Google+ has +1, etc. The websites with the most currency are the most relevant socially.
You should also evaluate the authority of the individuals sharing your site's content. Just as you want backlinks from high quality sites, you want mentions from reputable and highly influential people.
Measurement is necessary to gauge success so we always ask how we're going to measure this. We ensure every website we develop can monitor its goals and conversions so you can direct your energies accordingly.
Please contact us for help with SEO and any other online needs.

I bet you crank the $hit out of your cymbal stands and tom mounts too. Your poor drums...
I do. But I blame Slingerland for this. My very first kit was about 25 years old when I got it 30 years ago. Nothing stayed where it needed to, and I started adjusting tighter, and tighter, until it just fell (ball joints, extension arms, everything...).
And when I've broken screws, it's because I'm using some new wrench or gizmo that supposedly makes things easier... I've found that nothing replaces the old T-key. Definitely a lot more sensitive for tuning and tightening.
It's the little things...
*edit: But now that I recall - the connecting bar had to be collapsed, because it didn't fit into the case. So I had to remove the bar from both pedals, and then again loosen (or remove) the screws to collapse the connecting bar so it fit inside the case.

Complete Works of William Shakespeare (tour)
Editorial Staff • West End • 22 Jun 2001
The Reduced Shakespeare Company's show has been around for some time and has toured 13 countries. Founder members Adam Long, Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor attribute its success to the fact that "Shakespeare is the American playwright who is best known in England". That's the sort of evening it is - part brash juvenile humour and part very clever indeed. Even seeing the show second time around it still continues to exercise an irresistible charm.
The piece ('all 37 plays in 97 minutes') is based on two premises; firstly, that audiences know something, but not much, about Shakespeare; secondly, the perception that Americans are pig ignorant about the Bard. Play plots are presented in rap (Othello), as an American football game (the Histories) and as a TV cookery programme (Titus Andronicus). If you don't like one sketch, don't worry, for there'll be another one along in a minute. It's all fast and furious and in fact 36 out of the 37 plays are dispatched in the first 45 minutes. The second half is devoted (I use the term with hesitation) to Hamlet. This involves much frenetic audience participation and takes a sideswipe at the post-Freudian examination of Shakespearean characters.
Of the performers on the current tour, two are from the United States, and one from the 'United States of Canada'. They replicate the enthusiasm and energy of the original cast, under Long's direction.
The adroitness of the sharp writing ensures that the three performers each take their turn as straight men, stooges, and quasi tragedians, and work off each other superbly. Additionally, and perhaps fundamentally, there is an obvious fondness for Shakespeare, and so the parody is not malicious - although an assertion is made that since W.S. cribbed all his comedic plots and plot devices from earlier writers, all the Comedies could in fact be presented as one play! I suspect that all concerned are rather more knowledgeable about dear Will than they make out.
In short, whether you're idea of humour is Groucho Marks, Wayne's World, (or even Shakespeare!), you'll have a great evening out, splitting your sides at the RSC.

East Tennessee State has selected a former football player to fill a new position in the school's athletic department.
Scott Carter, a fullback and team captain for the Bucs from 1998-2002, was named Monday to fill the position of senior associate athletic director/chief operating officer.
Carter spent the last 10 years working at the University of Tennessee in various athletic fundraising positions. He currently serves as the Tennessee Fund's Assistant Athletic Director for Development, where he oversees the premium seating for the athletic department and works to secure capital contributions for various facility and endowment projects.
"Scott is clearly a rising star in the world of college athletics," ETSU athletic director Richard Sander said. "We had a very strong pool of candidates that demonstrated how well ETSU is viewed on the national stage. Having someone with Scott's talents, passion and drive, along with his devotion to the ETSU Bucs, in a major leadership position is a coup for our athletic program."
Carter, a Knoxville native, earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from ETSU.
"My wife Kristen and I are thrilled to be returning to our alma mater," Carter said. "The excitement around ETSU athletics is at an all-time high and it is our blessing to be a part of the future that Dr. Noland and Dr. Sander are leading. We feel humbled by this opportunity and look forward to working each day serving ETSU student-athletes, coaches, the faculty and staff that support them, and all of the fans and contributors that make our programs possible."
Carter will begin work at ETSU on Feb. 3.

In-House Counsel, Legal Ethics
My work life revolves around email. Because of the size of our company, and the geographical locations of my clients, I spend a majority of my day on email. Like many of you, I have a disclaimer below my signature stating that the correspondence is attorney-client privileged, and so on. But is it really? Many times, the answer is no. I know enough to use the disclaimer in an abundance of caution, but my clients often have no idea whether what they send across email is indeed privileged.
Like Susan Moon, I am often referred to as "council." That's fine, it doesn't really bother me, and is rather innocuous. Sometimes however, a client will take it upon themselves to write in bold, ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED, within the subject line. And that does bother me. Folks with just enough legal knowledge to be dangerous, are often just that — dangerous. Now, the email may indeed be seeking my advice, or concern a legal matter within that client's region, but the client should not assume that to be the case. The misunderstanding of the privilege could lead to problems in the future, say, in a discovery period….
If you have any experience at all as a young attorney doing document review, you know the drill of reviewing countless documents, marking them according to some agreed upon codes, and setting aside those that claim attorney-client privilege or attorney work product. Upon later review, many of those documents fail to meet the standards for either claimed privilege. They were so marked simply because one of the email recipients happened to be an attorney.
The basic rules are these: if drafted in contemplation or preparation for a litigation, a document can be classified as attorney work product; if written to or from an attorney seeking advice on a legal matter or issue, a document may be classified as attorney-client privileged. As I said, these are the basic rules. Exceptions and qualifications abound, and can trip up even experienced attorneys. And this doesn't contemplate the whims of a particular judge, who might very well order the production of a slew of documents that are properly claimed as protected.
It is all too easy for in-house counsel to assume that everything they do is subject to one of the privileges. However, courts have a long history of whittling away at what was once an almost impenetrable practice of corporate counsel — stamping every document as privileged, thereby protecting anything so deemed to be safe from prying eyes. The trend recently has been to pare the privilege to the minimum.
For example, an email from a client to an attorney discussing the ramifications of a measure to the profit margin would arguably be excluded from the privilege. The attorney is not being asked to opine on a legal issue, but a business question. Likewise, an email from an attorney requesting a pricing formula would also likely be excluded. However, when the pricing formula and ramifications margin are later used as part of a memorandum as to why a particular business tack should or should not be taken, that document would likely be protected.
A client requesting approval to remedy a customer issue, while perhaps privileged, would not rise to the work-product standard, as there is no mention of potential litigation. However, the same client requesting approval to remedy a customer issue in order to avoid litigation could well rise to the necessary standard.
Privilege is one of those areas in the law where conservatism should be the norm for your practice. If you think a document may be privileged, then go ahead and label it as such. The courts treat these issues on a case by case basis, and it is almost impossible to derive a formula for what will and what will not be qualified under the privilege. It is far easier to have claimed privilege, and have the claim reversed by a court, than to fail to preserve the sanctity of a document, and have it fall into the hands of the enemy when document production is complete. However, beware the practice of over-claiming privilege, as a judge frustrated by intransigent discovery practices could throw up her hands and make you turn over the kitchen sink.
After two federal clerkships and several years as a litigator in law firms, David Mowry is happily ensconced as an in-house lawyer at a major technology company. He specializes in commercial leasing transactions, only sometimes misses litigation, and never regrets leaving firm life. You can reach him by email at email@example.com.

Deputy Director Sam Bowman debates the benefits of strike action on BBC Radio Cumbria
Listen to the interview here. (Starts 12:40)
Deputy Director Sam Bowman discusses new ASI report "Time for Time Limits: Why we should end permanent welfare" in a comment piece for City AM:
Most talk of welfare is about how much we spend. Far too little is about how we actually spend it, but this is what really determines whether it does what we want or not.
Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) is a very small part of the £217bn per year we spend on welfare, costing around £5bn annually. But in interaction with in-work benefits like Working Tax Credits, it can be one of the crucial factors in a person's decision whether to take a job or keep looking for something better.
The difficulty is that we can only cut JSA so far before it stops being capable of giving people a short-term safety net in between unexpected periods of unemployment. And as a new paper from the Adam Smith Institute ("Time for Time Limits") argues today, this is where we can learn quite a lot from reforms abroad.
For further comments or to arrange an interview, contact Head of Communications Kate Andrews: firstname.lastname@example.com | 07584 778207.
The UK should consider US-style time limits on out-of-work benefits as part of the cuts to benefits spending, according to a new paper from the Adam Smith Institute.
A new report, Time for Time Limits: Why we should end permanent welfare, finds that a 5-year limit on Jobseekers' Allowance (JSA) across workers' lifetimes could save the Treasury £300-350m per year, as well as boosting labour markets and putting a break on self-fulfilling cycles of dependency.
The paper, authored by Peter Hill, a lecturer at the University of Roehampton, reviews President Bill Clinton's 'Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act' (PRWORA) which coincided with a massive decline in welfare rolls from 5 million to less than 2 million families by 2006. The act is credited for saving the US government over $50bn between 1996 and 2002.
In some states, there was a decrease in benefits caseloads of 96%, as well as an unprecedented drop in female unemployment and improvement in their financial status even in low paying jobs, and a drop in child poverty. Furthermore, comprehensive econometric analyses suggest that 6-7% of decreases in unemployment counts (and 12–13% of those in female-headed families) are as a result of the introduction of time limits. Although difficult to estimate the exact impact on the UK labour market ex ante, a similar effect on Claimant Count Unemployment could be expected; this translates to an estimated reduction in the benefit bill of £300–350 million based on current spending.
Though Universal Credit is innovative in tackling benefit withdrawal cliffs that make working very unattractive to some households, it does not put any limits on its unemployment insurance provisions. More radical reform like time limits has potential beyond the government's current schemes.
Just as the US ended welfare as an entitlement programme, the paper argues that the UK should also take the radical step of ending JSA being funded from general taxation and instead return to a form of 'Unemployment Insurance' funding from NICs. This would mean operating the welfare system as a genuine self-funding insurance scheme managed through the UK Government Actuary's Department.
Author of the report, Peter Hill, said:
Now more than ever we have to brave new public policy. Money does not grow on trees; policy makers are spending taxpayers' money – as well as borrowing it in their name – and taxpayers expect it to be well spent. Therefore, tough decisions have to be made to reduce the costs of welfare.
Time for Time Limits encourages readers to turn their eyes across the Atlantic to the radical welfare reform of the 1990s which saw dramatic shifts in unemployment numbers and the associated costs to taxpayers.
If the Chancellor is serious about tackling the deficit, reducing the national debt and returning to strong growth, there is little scope but to follow the path of successful welfare reform pioneered in the United States. Time limits will re-empower the unemployed to take control of their own lives.
Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Institute, Sam Bowman, added:
Getting people into work is the best way of fighting poverty that we have. But the government's welfare reforms are doing exactly the wrong thing: cutting in-work benefits that entice people into jobs, and raising the minimum wage to make it harder for people to get their first step onto the ladder.
The reforms discussed in this report worked, and may work in Britain, because they made out-of-work benefits a temporary safety net, and made sure that it always made sense for the unemployed to find a job.

Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute Lars Christensen discussed whether Finland's membership in the European Union is preventing the country from thriving on Bloomberg TV.
Senior Fellow at the Adam Smith Institute Tim Ambler published a letter with the Daily Telegraph on bilateral treaties within the EU:
SIR – It takes at least four years to set up an intergovernmental meeting to make EU treaty changes, by which time the referendum will be long gone.
The only way agreements can be made binding is through bilateral treaties between EU members undertaking to include the agreements in the next round of treaty changes. Such bilateral agreements are allowed by EU protocols but have not yet been used for this purpose.
In addition to being both precise and binding, Brussels would not be able to frustrate the process.
