UC Santa Barbara Alumni Career
Whether you are a recent graduate or an experienced professional, finding a job or facing a career change can be a challenging experience. Professionals say that today people change jobs at least ten times and have several different careers. This is the wave of the future as companies continue to reorganize, downsize, and hire temporary workers. For most people and for a variety of reasons, working for the same company for 30 years is no longer a viable option.
It's also important to be assertive about your career, which means spending time understanding and utilizing all the resources available that will help you gain the skills and knowledge you'll utilize for a lifetime when making your multiple job/career transitions.
The UCSB Alumni Association is committed to providing career assistance to you through our Alumni Career Services program. You are encouraged to participate in these programs and utilize the career information and services available to you.

Bad news for medical marijuana patients in the Bay Area: as reported by the SF Examiner [1], the DEA has requested records from the city's Department of Public Health for 12 of San Francisco's existing 21 cannabis dispensaries. This is the same move the DEA made before sending the threatening letters to five other cannabis collectives last fall. Those five dispensaries are now closed.
In fall of 2010, US Attorney Melinda Haag targeted five SF dispensaries in school zones with letters declaring them in violation of federal law. In the face of potential jail time for dispensary staff and even the landlords of the buildings that housed the dispensaries, they shut their doors. Now, more than 50 percent of the city's dispensaries could have to follow suit.
The really upsetting part about all of this? The sheer randomness of it all. In our recent Cannabis Issue, the Guardian interviewed [2] Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, who said that in his meeting with Haag over the matter, the US Attorney said the orders to persue the dispensaries came from above. "She said she was only doing what the boss was telling her to do," Ammiano told the Guardian. "We had a hard time with that." The Obama Administration has been frustratingly opaque about the motives behind, and future plans for, persecuting an industry [3] that Attorney General Eric Holder once called a "low priority" for federal law enforcement.
The Guardian has sent an email to Mayor Ed Lee for his comments on the request for records, and will update this post when we hear back. Even then-Mayor Gavin Newsom, as the Examiner pointed out, sent a letter in 2008 to Congress to encourage it to act against the DEA's attempts to intervene in California's medical marijuana industry.
Assemblymember Ammiano and Senator Mark Leno are leading the efforts to establish a statewide regulatory board cannabis that would, among other things, demonstrate to the feds that the industry is being well-regulated in California. Americans for Safe Access and UFCW (the union representing cannabis workers in California) have also introduced a ballot initiative called the Medical Marijuana Regulation, Control, and Taxation Act that would establish a regulating board made of patients, government representatives, medical professionals, and cannabis industry folks. A poll [4] conducted by Probolsky Research recently put voter support for that measure at 59.2 percent.
But who knows if California voters will get a chance to regulate marijuana as they see fit. If these requests for records proceed as the last round of them did, SF could be down to nine dispensaries in a city with not only a large base of cannabis patients, but also a thriving cannabis culture.
The dispensaries whose records were requested by the DEA were:
Bay Area Safe Alternatives Collective [5]
Good Fellows Smoke Shop
Grass Roots [6]
The Green Cross [7]
Hope Net [8]
SF Medical Cannabis Club
Valencia Street Caregivers
Vapor Room [11]

DescriptionPowerMonger takes the basic design and concepts of Bullfrog's previous game Populous, and places it in a war context. The game cast the player as a dispossessed warlord plundering his way through 195 territories on the way to world conquest. Several other leaders have the same goal.
The gameworld is now made up of polygons, so the view can be rotated and moved with greater freedom than Populous. Trade, diplomacy, inventions, and scorched earth invasions all play a key role in how the player progresses through the game. Two-player games via modem links are available on computer versions.

Merrill is a co-founder of Food52.
If you're cooking small potatoes, or if you cut larger potatoes into 1-2-inch chunks, they should take 15-20 minutes once you've brought the water to a simmer. Start with the potatoes in cold water, and don't forget to salt the water!
Merrill, why do you start the potatoes in cold water? I know to do this but have never thought to ask why until just now.
Ah, thanks.
Sarah is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Beyond the guidance above - "until they're done". Test by inserting the tip of a knife. If the potato sticks to the knife, it's not cooked. If it falls off after 5-6 seconds resistance it's par-boiled (almost there), if it falls away after a second or two you're almost perfect, and if it doesn't stick at all it's well done to overcooked.

Tron opened his eyes to a different world. The terrain around him was obviously damagedhe could see areas where the ground was derezzing and crumbling away. He didn't know what had happened, but it must have been devastatingly powerful for it to cause a surge strong enough to bring him back up to the surface. Looking across the expanse of the Sea, he could perceive that the portal was closed and Clu's command ship was nowhere to be seen. What did that mean? Had Clu succeeded in transporting himself and an entire force of his loyal Black Guards into Flynn's world? Did Flynn escape?
The Sea of Simulation lapped at his feet, whispering softly, while his body reclined on a rough surface of digital rock. Groaning softly, he rolled onto his stomach and pulled himself further onto the shore.
He was still alive.
And he was also still in control. He could feel Rinzler inside of him like a wild beast raging to be set free, but now their places were reversed. He was Tron again, not Clu's pet killer.
But along with his freedom from the terrible prison of his own mind, came the burden of a thousand cycles-worth of memories of being Rinzler. He remembered it all down to the last detail, and it sickened him. He scraped his hands against the gravelly ground, tortured by the knowledge that those hands had murdered thousands of innocent programs, even
even Beck.
"Expect your training to a long, difficult road, Beck. Before victory, there will be setbacks. Many of them."
"So when does the training start?"
Tron and his young protégé were racing through the Outlands on their lightcycles, dodging outcroppings and pits. Both of them had their bikes' light-walls activated, leaving bright glowing trails in their wake.
"Right now!" Tron answered as he came alongside the younger program's bike. "So try and keep up."
Beck accelerated and turned his bike into a wide curve, forcing Tron to turn with him.
"Don't rely on your light-wall," Tron advised. "Learn to control me without it!"
He switched off his own light-wall, and Beck followed suit. They wove in and out, dodging obstacles, one gaining the lead and then the other, as Tron continued his lesson. "Dominate with momentum! Anticipate!"
Beck took the lead again, and glanced back to ask, "Like that?"
Tron shook his head at the juvenile error. "Eyes forward," he reprimanded.
A large butte in their path forced them to split away from each other, and for a few moments Tron lost sight of Beck. When their paths converged again, Tron blind-sided the other program with his cycle before zooming ahead.
"This isn't a game, Beck!" Tron shouted
Tron shook his head, as if that could drive away that old memory and the grief which came with it. Beck had been such a strong-willed program, but at the same time lacking in self-confidence. It had taken a lot of convincing to get Beck to even agree to take on the mantle of Tron, and much more effort to train him. Tron remembered the first pep-talk he'd given the young mechanic, about rising above his programming and becoming something more.
He bitterly realized just how foolish he'd been back then.
No matter how much training he'd given Beck, it hadn't been enough. The boy just hadn't had the strength, the reflexes, the reaction time that had been hard-wired into Tron's coding. When the inevitable confrontation had occurred, Tron remembered Beck's first words.
I never thought I would have to fight you.
Tron pulled himself up onto his knees and placed the palms of his hands against his ears, as if it could block out the voices in his mind.
Tron, fight it! It can't end this way! Beck's voice, filled with pain an desperation.
Finish him, Rinzler. Clu's voice, cold and triumphant.
You don't have to do this, Tron.
Derez him.
Do it.
Tron could still feel Beck's code spilling over his hands.
"Forgive me," he whispered hoarsely. "I'm so sorry, Beck."
It was well within Clu's capabilities to be sadistic and cruel; Tron had found that out the first time he'd been captured. The methodic torture that had nearly killed him and left him permanently scarred had been inflicted according to Clu's orders.
Many cycles later, after his recapture and repurposing, Tron's first task as Rinzler had been to seek out and destroy Beck. That boy had been the only remaining program to know for sure that Tron was still alive, and Clu wanted to be certain that problem was rectified.
It had been a long battle, because Clu liked a spectacle. He hadn't allowed Beck to die until he was practically torn to shreds, and could no longer even lift his disc to defend himself. Only then did Clu give Rinzler the order to end it.
Even up to the moment he was derezzed, Beck had pleaded with Tron, begging his friend to fight the repurposing. But only Rinzler had heard him, and Rinzler hadn't cared.
Rinzler listened only to Clu.
I am tainted.
He could never escape the past. He was a murderer.
Is there nothing left?
I destroyed it all, with my own hands.
Tron reached back and pulled both discs of his back. He stared at them for several long millicycles, torn between the desire to destroy himself and the knowledge that doing so would simply be running away from responsibility. He could feel Rinzler pounding on the inside of his skull, protesting wildly against any suicidal act. If only to be rid of that abomination, Tron would gladly stab himself through the chest with his disc. But he still had a responsibility; it had been his since Alan-1 created him.
I am
I was a protector. At the very least I can try to protect the Grid against Clu's forces, even if I can never absolve myself of my crimes.
"Flynn," he said aloud. "I promise you, I won't fail you again, old friend."

Yes, I killed Beck.
Had to happen. Haters will hate, if they want, but hey it adds to the angst that Tron is feeling right now. And it totally makes sense!
Plus, I'm the author.
One last note: I'm not sure how many people are reading this, and/or are confused by my continued use of the "cycle" time. I'll break it down for you here:
microcycle= second
millicycle= minute
megacycle= hour
cycle= year

I'm loving this fanfic! thank you. I'm just wondering, is there a first series that you've written?? This is the first I've heard of Beck...
Beck is a character from the animated series, TRON: Uprising. Uprising details some of what happened between Clu's rebellion and the events of TRON: Legacy.
So glad you tired Beck and uprising into this, nice job.
Uprising was a really enjoyable show, and I wanted to tie it in with my story and include characters from that cast.
Well, I kind of knew that would be Beck's fate all along, regardless of what ending Uprising gave him, and it does make sense that either Rinzler or Clu would be the one to do it.
But still... MY HEART. *weep*
But still... MY HEART. *weep*
i t was one of my two theories about Rinzler
1. he killed Beck after being brain washed
2. Rinzler wasn't really Trong but Beck, and Flynn mistook him for his old friend
Currently working on a Tron Uprising fic of my own called Tron Uprising: Stand Alone Complexity, and focuses mainly on Paige, spinning off from Rendez-Vous episode

It had crossed my mind briefly that Beck might be Rinzler, but nothing in the movie hinted at it. Plus, just before Rinzler crashed his jet into Clu's, he remembered telling Flynn to "Go!", and that was the night of the betrayal, before Tron ever met Beck.
I refuse that Beck would die, I don't care if he isnt mentioned in the movie lol in my mind he is alive still
I refuse that Beck would die, I don't care if he isnt mentioned in the movie lol in my mind he is alive still
Poor Tron. Clu was so cruel to him. Good chapter.
Yeah…but I promise his name will be popping up again during the course of this fic.
is Pavel going to be in it? (he is my favorite character in the show)
I cannot imagine the pain/agony and guilt he is feeling.

Sorry Lala, I checked out of here for a few minutes. First of all, click on her "Avafart" and read, if she hasn't altered it. She is lying about not deleting posts, pretending to just log in and find them gone, stating that one had to reside in California to moderate a topic. Actually she isn't a moderator, but a Topix pawn spy. She has the power to delete posts, but thats about it. The things Imposter is saying are true. Ol' Nope is just being vindictive to some and being hate filled and spiteful. Apparently she gets off on this. Read quickly Lala, this won't be here long.<quoted text>
What has she lied about? I have not found any. Be serious, I would like to know. I have thought that she was a decent person.

I don't believe for a moment they interested in the common good. Their agenda is total control of the world and depopulation of 90% of the world population is high on their agenda. They want to get rid of what they call 'useless eaters' of this world who are expending scarce resources. This is why there is really no war on drugs, it's all a farcical show, they want drug addicts to overdose and want to deny quality healthcare to the welfare population, this is what Obamacare is really about. Don't be fooled, it's like the blankets they gave to the Indians, they come with the pretense to help you so you accept what they are offering when really they are out to harm. Same goes for vaccines, which is why they typically offer it for free or low cost, it can cause sterility and illnesses like autism and various autoimmune diseases. In fact, Bill and Melinda Gates foundation have funded free vaccines to Africa in order to achieve population control.
The only common good they are interested in is for the elites and their necessary servants, and they even proclaimed in the Georgia Guidestones that all they need is 500 million, so the rest of the 6 and half billion people on this planet are unnecessary 'useless eaters'. This is not even a secret anymore, you can read about it all over the internet.
Our first amendment rights are slowly being eroded and we can see that with the censorship going on with this thread. They are now after our second amendment rights. They claim that by confiscating guns that we will have a safer society. It will only be safer for the elites because at that point they will be able to institute a military police state where the government will completely control you while at the same time allowing criminals (who will keep their guns) to have their way with you. You will see that there will be more and more of these 'deranged lone gunmen' which will be sensationalized in the news media until most of the sheeple finally agree to gun confiscation.
Now I am curious to see how long this post will stay up before it's deleted. I know the mods are at the edge of their seat and on their toes today.

I can see where some would believe the smooth talking lies. That's the way a liar operates, smooth talk. If one hasn't been around liars, they might be hard to spot. I have had plenty of experience with liars. They will swear a lie to be the truth on their dead mamas grave. I used to work with a guy that got a twitch in his left eyelid when he was lying. Of course here one can't observe body language. Mainly you have to read their wording compared to what the surrounding situation is. "Oh I just dropped in guy's, what's going on"? Then they proceed to answer their own questions. LOL. They don't have everyone fooled and they know it. By deleting posts they don't like is a covering for their lies.

Wolf is absolutely right. I have not posted or even taken the time to stop in and read comments in a very long time.
I did finish watching Lost and fell in lust with Syeed! The most beautiful man in the world. However, in real life he has an English accent (ruins the whole day dream) and loves older women, which leaves me out as him and I are about the same age! Darn it! LOL

Lala, let me give you a real life senario. A few years ago I was commenting on a website with some women in England in other countries, that could speak English. This guy from the US started flirting with one of these women. Believe it or not she fell in love with the guy and sent him air fare to fly to England to be with her. All of a sudden a job(he didn't have)wouldn't allow him to leave right then. Shortly she found he was pulling the same scheme elsewhere. His butt getting into a sling he suddenly came down with incrable cancer, which didn't go over to well. Apparently he must have found some Earnest Angely tapes & got healed. LOL. Last I heard he was kicking high. I vacated the site because I wanted to. Read closely what others post and see if they contradict what they say. I liar will reveal themselves by telling one lie to cover another, then they forget what lies they have told. LOL.

Yeah, I know, my ears were burning! ha ha ha! <wink>
I have only turned on the water and electric over there so far. I should have called today about phone, net, and cable. I am not in the biggest rush, yet! LOL
Hope you had a good Christmas too. I know it was a little rough for you this year. The holidays have been pretty good so far and the new year can only get brighter!

Yes, your mom and ex would want you to be happy. It will get a little easier each year. It has been 10 years for me now, but the first 5-6 years were really tough and yet, each one was easier than the year before. We just have to let time do its job.

Revisiting the past five years i've been living in a state of mind that only got me oh so down. I've never been truly happy, i've never felt free, i never had the opportunity to be who i wanted to be. Let's say it like this: Things companies say and things you experience most likely happen to diverge. I've seen hardcore consulting, hardcore meaning you've got no life, no chance of freedom, especially no freedom of choice. Do whatever makes the billing people happy. Then you'll eventually somehow get something in return. But if you leave early they just want to take another shit on you.
So, in conclusion: The past few years were heavy, i've been to places, i've seen some shit, i've endured some shit. The plusses are there, having been a mandatory part of a european research project is an experience i wouldn't want to miss. Been across europe for meetings is another thing i'd recall happily. But you're always part of something bigger, there's always a wall in front of you that's keeping you from seeing what's really going on. And there are people that take you for granted. They take your knowledge for granted. Until you leave. Then suddenly everything falls apart.
But in this case nothing is actually falling apart.
I made my choices, i'll skip the money. I'll skip the life everyone foresees for someone. I want to skip being another brick. And as long as i'm disgusted with society and the "normal" life i'll keep dreaming about making a difference. I'll keep trying until i eventually succeed. And no matter how long the path may be, no matter how many deaths i need to die, no matter how much power i'll lose on that path, physically or psychical, i'm going to endure, i'm going to channel the inner strength.
Because there's nothing worse than being mediocre, another brick in the wall, another one on the list of people who didn't try. I'll skip on that.

The Trust's Ross Sea Heritage Restoration Project (RSHRP) is a long-term, cold climate heritage conservation project to conserve the five sites and associated 20,000+ artefact collection. The project presents many technical challenges including environmental issues such as katabatic winds, high relative humidity, temperature change, salt damage and light levels.
Conservation Plans have been prepared for each of the five sites. The plans (reviewed by relevant international agencies) provide the proposed conservation for the sites and are, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive heritage conservation documents ever produced for a polar heritage site.
All conservation work (while recognising the realities and constraints of working in Antarctica) follows international best practice and the ICOMOS Charter (Venice Charter 1964). Work is also carried out in line with the Antarctica Environmental Protection Act (Madrid Protocol 1991) and work is permitted through the New Zealand Government.
The physical conservation of the sites began during the summer of 2003/04. Between 2006 and 2015 the Trust has been working year round in Antarctica. On-site conservation work now takes place over the Antarctic summers.

What would it take to remove Roger Goodell as NFL commissioner?
The Ray Rice incident, which first unfolded in February when a video was released of the then Ravens running back dragging his unconscious wife out of a casino elevator, has put considerable heat on the NFL, especially commissioner Roger Goodell.
Five months later, after the league supposedly investigated the issue fully and the case made its way through the legal system, Goodell issued a two-game ban without pay for Rice. He was also entered in June into the league's "diversion program," which upon completion could have led to the charges being expunged. But his suspension and required counseling paled in comparison to the penalties of players who smoke marijuana or commit much less severe infractions.
Roughly a month after the two-game ban was issued, the league altered its policy for handing domestic violence cases and will now issue six-game bans to first-time offenders and lifetime bans to repeat offenders. Goodell also issued a letter to all NFL personnel, apologizing for his handling of the Rice case and admitting he let their standards "fall below where they should be" with the Rice case.
But the good karma was short-lived for Goodell. A week later, a second video, a much more damning video, of Rice punching his then fiancee in the elevator, surfaced. There was no denying Rice's involvement in the incident now. The Ravens promptly released him and the NFL suspended him indefinitely, but numerous questions were left unanswered.

you-tube video for beginners.
Although I thought the video was nice and clear, it was quite fast so I had to watch, learn, then explain to the girls and show them in slow motion, helping them hold the hook and wool in the right places.
Initially the girls found it tricky, but our eldest (aged 9) got the hang of the basics quite quickly, and our youngest (aged 7) then kept picking up the hook and wool on and off all day to practice. I was impressed by her determination and staying power in practising the same thing over and over again!
Our ultimate aim is to make Amigurumi (small crocheted characters) for which there are endless patterns and cute ideas that our youngest daughter has already made in her imagination!
What a great skill this is to learn for hand-eye co-ordination. It will help improve dexterity, concentration, and also provide great practice in following instructions and patterns.
Although we've only just started learning, the positive reaction from the girls is encouraging and I'm looking forward to keeping the momentum going and doing a little each day!
It's also one of our new experiences in our 365 new experiences in 2013 challenge.
What new skills will you and or your kids learn this year?

Below is an outline of the changes to the ePOI process:

- If the former employee does have a valid business justification, a Sponsored Personal Account form must be completed. The Sponsor must be in a Manager or a higher position within the same department as the Business Office Administrator entering the ePOI information.
- The former employee must also provide the business justification to his/her sponsor and the sponsor will relay it to his/her Business Office Administrator that processes the ePOI form.

We are enabling this service only for Former Employees and Retirees POI Types for now.
4) There is no need for new emeriti to use ePOI services. Emeriti can continue using their accounts without disruption.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
- For the number, sii 7 (number).
The Vii Console. Note the complexity and innovation done by the Chiniise.
|Release date
|1000 AD in China
|Boring and Stuppid
|C for Crap nOT Communist (US), 0,999+ (Europe), G (Australia)
|Would Vin Diesel play it?
The Vii is a
riipoff improvement on the Wii created by Chintendo. It is the most iinnovatiivecrappiiest product in China. However, the Chinese sold it for a good price of 1,300 yuan, which is about US$300. Also available in Japan for a cheap price of 25,000,000 yen! The Vii has the Viimote, which iis avaiiable iin Crap Brown, Shiit Black, Wiid Green, Pii Yellow, and Blood Red.
edit The Games
The Vii consists of a case, a tiny circuit board, a weight to make it heavy, 8-bit graphics, two consoles (the Viimote) and a free cartridge containing seven games inside. It's really just a big piece of plastic with nothing in it. The following games for the Vii iitself iinclude:
- Emo Tennis
- Emo Golf
- Boil The Egg
- Mahjong
- Mahjong
- More Mahjong
- Craps
- Fuck Fuck Revolution
- Plumber
- The Incredible Hulk
- Dumb Dart
- And many more!
"Vii Weeniie Bong! Vii Weeniie Bong!"
edit Satisfaction guaranteed
All of these games are proudly created by Chintendo (a Chinese knockoff of Nintendo). If the Vii doesn't satiisfy you, simply give it back to Chintendo, and then go out and buy a Wii (if you can find one).
edit Hiistorii
The hiistorii of the Vii began in China, when they were attemptiing to create a toilet. Jealous of their more advanced Japanese counterparts, who created the Wii Toiilet System, the Chiinese planned a toiilet that can be cheap and as fun as the more expensive Japanese-made Wii. The Chiinese copiied the Wii, changed the looks and rebranded iit as the Vii. The advantage of the Vii is that people can have a greater priivacy when they are shitting or pissing. But iit has iits own drawbacks. People now have to waiit in line to go to the toiilet, and it lacks the abiiliity for one to stand whiile going to the toiliet.
The Vii revolutioniized the toilet and video game iindustry in diifferent ways. Rather having lots of people goiing iin one toiilet, the Vii gives better priivacy. The Vii design iis now the standard for many toiilet makers for many years to come. The Chinese design was unchanged until the Vii was transformed from a toiilet to a console. The console was released in 2007, showing the iinnovations done by Nintendo applied by Kensington.

Bringing un-injured, pasture kept horse back to work?
Hi All! :-)
After a life of anticipation, I have finally gotten my first horse!!! YAY!!! :D
She's truly my dream come true!! <3
She's a 5 YO Thoroughbred rescue mare, never been raced. She was trained by her initial adopter--She rides like a dream! (Unfortunately her original adopter was partially paralyzed in a car accident and had to return her to the rescue :-( If you want more information on her or her history, please ask! I don't want to waste anyone's time on unimportant information unless this information is desired or helpful to answering the question :-) )
She has been pasture kept though unworked for the last 8 months or so due to the owner of the rescue's pregnancy. They only used her for trail riding prior to that though.
I'm looking to school her, up to canter and jumping at some point.
I know I need to bring her back into work slowly--though I've seen many varying plans. I was wondering if anyone had input on how I should bring her back into work, specific to her :-)
Jezebel and I thank you!! :D
I am pretty sure a photo would help asses the situation.
As far as getting back to work, Heck I would do it like I was doing it to myself, start slow, lots of walking, bending and a bit of trotting. Work on up from there.
How I get mine back into shape for work after extended time off is I just throw my saddle up there and start riding again. I don't push them too much right at first, but a horse that is pasture fit can easily handle a couple of hours at walk and trot with a bit of canter thrown in. After that long out of work, I wouldn't ask for much in the way of collection, but being supple and responsive is a must.
Great, thanks! that sounds like a good plan! :-)

A Peek Under the Big Top – PTA Mom's Look at the 84th Legislature
A Peek Under the Big Top – PTA Mom's Look at the 84th Legislature
January 27, 2015
Come one, come all — the circus is back in town! The spine-chilling 84th Texas legislature that convened in Austin this month promises to feature daring radicals and tantalizing ideologues in the center ring. And this year public education is in their cross hairs!
Step right up and watch… as Texas' public schools attempt to survive the legislative high wire, with threats of privatization, punitive accountability, unfunded mandates, and school "choice" schemes.
Ooh and aah…as educators continue to juggle oversized classes, expanded curriculum requirements, and high-stakes testing run amok.
Watch in wonder… as still-underfunded school districts educate Texas' growing student population while fighting off the deadly combination of falling oil prices and ill-advised campaign promises of tax cuts.
More than 300 education-related bills had been filed by the beginning of this session. Before we look at the three-ring circus that awaits public education this year, let's recap where we left off since the gavel fell on the 83rd legislature in 2013.
- Election 2014: As the cliché goes "elections have consequences," and November's elections may have dire consequences for Texas' public education system. Let's just say, the 84th legislature may be even less friendly to public education than its predecessor. And that's really saying something; since 65% of legislators in the 83rd legislature had less than stellar voting records on public education issues according to a University of Mary Hardin Baylor/Texas Kids Can't Wait study in 2014.
The study rated then Senator Dan Patrick's voting record on public education issues the worst in either chamber of the 83rd legislature. And we just elected him to Lieutenant Governor in charge of Texas' Senate. Buckle up! Without strong voices of opposition from parents, educators, and advocacy groups, the radical make-up of this legislature may allow anti-public education legislation to be pushed through fairly easily.
- School Funding: In case you hadn't heard, Texas schools are under-funded. Remember those history-making education budget cuts in 2011? The ones that forced class size waivers across the state, loss of bussing, cuts to sports and arts programs, and the elimination of thousands of education jobs? Those cuts were never restored. Despite record-setting revenue growth, an $8 billion rainy day fund, and leaving $7.5 billion on the table in "leftover" funding, the 83rd legislature chose not to fully restore education funding in 2013.
Today Texas students remain underfunded by $600 per pupil from 2008 when adjusted for inflation. And, of course, that's based on funding formulas driven by an outdated cost of education index that the legislature has conveniently forgotten to update since the 20th century. With that, it's not surprising that yet another recent national study has Texas weighing in at 49th in the nation in per pupil spending and graded the state a "D" in school finance.
- School Finance Trial: In 2013, a district court ruled that Texas schools are inadequately and inequitably funded in violation of the state constitution. This ruling was re-visited and upheld in 2014 following the partial restoration of $3.4 billion of the $5.4 billion in education cuts in 2013. Governor Greg Abbott (as then Attorney General) appealed the ruling to the state Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear the case later this year. A ruling could come in early 2016.
- Testing: With HB 5, Texas made strides in reducing its over-use of standardized tests for accountability purposes. Following public outcry, testing requirements were dropped from 15 end of course exams to five end of course exams for high school students. Elementary and middle school students? Well, they didn't see any relief and continue to be saddled with testing and prep that can run into more than 40 instructional days per year depending on the district. In the meantime, high stakes testing has continued to secure its place as public enemy number one as the grassroots' disenchantment with Texas' long-term love affair with the scantron continues to grow.
With that, there's a lot you'll want to watch for over the 140 days of the 84th legislature. Here's a preview of some key education issues:
- Operation CHOICE: "School choice" has a lovely ring to it, doesn't it? I mean, who doesn't want "choice?" McDonalds even offers "choice" between a yogurt and fries these days. If Texans can have choice in their happy meals, they should have choice in their schools too, right? Actually, Texas already offers a wide variety of public school choice options (open enrollment districts, intra-district transfers, public school academies, magnet schools, charters schools, not to mention transfers required by the federal government for schools failing to meet No Child Left Behind requirements). With all of these options and choices currently in place, why the outcry? Well, the wide variety of public choice options already available aren't really the kind of "choice" these folks seek.
Instead, when politicians lament for "school choice" this session, it's actually a thinly veiled code word for school vouchers. Vouchers (also known as they friendly sounding "tax payer savings grants" or "tax savings scholarships") are a scam to shift public taxpayer funds for public schools to private institutions without the same educational or financial accountability. Wisely, Texas had ducked vouchers for more than a decade, particularly after watching how poorly they fare in other states, including Wisconsin and Louisiana. But, if passed this session, Texas legislators will soon funnel your tax dollars from Texas' already under-funded public schools to unaccountable, non-transparent private organizations that don't have to answer to taxpayers. How's that for fiscal responsibility?
Let's look at how this scam could work: when a local coven opens their Wiccan-focused private school, a voucher scheme would allow your tax dollars to fund the coven's educational operations and Wiccan curriculum. With all due respect to Wiccans, this doesn't seem to be a palatable option to most Texans, especially since the state's educational standards, testing/accountability, and employment/certification requirements typically don't apply to these private entities. There's also that pesky religious establishment thing. Nor does financial oversight or public voice in the private entity's operations apply. Texas has an infamous history of doling out taxpayer dollars to private enterprises without accountability or oversight – it's just this time they're robbing your under-funded public schools to do it.
In fact, the voucher scheme isn't even palatable to most forward-thinking private schools that recognize the shackles they accept with public funding, which may well eliminate the very aspects of their school operations that differentiate them from public options. Last session, then Senator Dan Patrick tried unsuccessfully to push through a voucher scheme. This session now Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has promised to ram the voucher scam through in his barely hidden quest to dismantle public schools. Unless met by strong grassroots opposition, he likely has the fringe votes to make it happen this time.
- Money, Money, Money: With the school funding trial waiting to be heard by the Texas Supreme Court later this year, conventional wisdom would suggest that most legislators are less than eager to address the funding issue and content to kick that can down the road.
Let me tell you about their dirty, little secret – your legislators actually have no idea how to fix the school funding system. A patchwork quilt of bad ideas, years of convoluted legislative band aids, and reactionary responses to three decades of court decisions, Texas' school finance system is a muddled mess that the majority of your elected representatives do not understand, do not know how to fix, and do not know how to fund.
At best, they might try to hide behind rising property tax receipts when preparing this year's budget. Increasing local tax dollars due to rising property values will result in more funding to public schools courtesy of property owners, but with no thanks to the body that's actually constitutionally responsible for funding Texas schools and that has failed miserably to do so for years. Yes, I'm looking at you, Texas Legislature. It's time to stop being a dead beat and fund your responsibility instead of relying on over-burdened property owners to bail you out each session.
With a huge knowledge deficit among legislators and lack of political will to face the looming school finance trial elephant in the room, the issue will likely be left unresolved until the Supreme Court directs the legislature to fix it. That fix might come sometime in 2016 if we're lucky. So, my child who began his public school career as an unfunded kindergartner may finally see relief as he prepares to begin middle school. If all goes well…
Yet, despite these challenges a few proactive legislators recognize that when it comes to school funding Texas is doing it wrong. They're making moves in the right direction to fix it and have filed legislation in anticipation of the Supreme Court ruling. Chairman of the House Public Education Committee, Representative Jimmie Don Aycock (R-Killeen), has filed House Bill 654 in an attempt to create school finance districts to overcome the state's inequitable funding woes. Aycock said in a memo to fellow legislators, "While we do not know the final outcome of the school finance lawsuit, I believe it is appropriate to foster broad conversations on the matter while awaiting the final decision." Other proactive legislators include Senator Kirk Watson (D-Austin) who pre-filed several bills to reform school funding and formulas and Representative Trey Martinez Fischer (D-San Antonio), who filed a bill to update the 24-year old cost of education index that determines each school district's funding allotment from the state.
- Testing Mania: Even as implementation of HB 5 continues, state testing remains a top issue. Some bills filed propose allowing students to graduate despite not passing end of course exams if other requirements are met, while one bill forbids the use of state test scores on teacher evaluations. An interesting bill filed by Representative Dan Huberty (R-Houston) largely resurrects a failed bill from last session. Huberty's efforts would require the STAAR test be verified as a valid and reliable assessment tool (it's widely argued that it's not) by an independent entity and place time limits on the tests (two hours for elementary school and three hours for secondary students).
Clearly, the fervor for testing reform continues as legislators and parents advocate taming the high stakes testing beast. Of course, if Big Testing magnate Pearson and its well-paid lobbyists have anything to say about this sideshow, it's a battle that is sure to rage on for sessions to come.
From the governor to lobbyists to policy wonks and watchers, education is being billed as a key issue in this year's legislative session. Whether that results in positive policy and change for our students and schools, however, is yet to be seen. And much of that depends on those of you well outside of the big pink Capitol dome and the role you'll play in this circus.
Will this be the session when parents demand adequate funding for their neighborhood schools and less reliance on standardized testing? Will educators speak out loudly about the impact of teaching to the test and over-crowded classrooms? Will taxpayers allow their funds going to unaccountable private organizations without oversight and unknown standards, requirements, and practices? And if all of that happens, will it be enough to stop the radical legislators riding an anti-public education tide in Austin? Will this be the session when the grassroots steps up to demand that Texas make public education a priority? Or will legislators advance their continuing assault on Texas public schools as parents, educators, and taxpayers stand idly by? Again.
So grab your popcorn and prepare to be spellbound as we watch this year's performance in Texas' ongoing battle for public education. It just might be the greatest show on earth, after all.

The application of the Onward Subsequential Transducer Inference Algorithm (OSTIA) recently introduced by J. Oncina et al. (1993) to (pseudo-) natural language understanding is considered. For this purpose, a task proposed by J.A. Feldman et al. (1990), as a touchstone for comparing the capabilities of language learning systems has been adopted and three increasingly difficult semantic coding schemes have been defined for this task. In all cases the OSTIA was consistently proved able to learn very compact and accurate transducers from relatively small training sets of input-output examples of the task
