GOP Lawmakers Get Back to Work Following Redistricting
This week, House lawmakers resumed normal business after the completion of the redistricting proposals passed by both the House and Senate. The new district maps now await the review and signature of Governor Bill Haslam in order to become law. The reapportioned districts for the Tennessee House and Senate, and the U.S. Congress, take effect after the next election.
Having completed that task, the House Republican Caucus has now turned its attention to job creation—the number one priority for Tennesseans. A number of proposals to help spur economic development await action in the General Assembly. Additionally, the House Majority will work closely with the Administration to pass a number of proposals to improve both the state's economic outlook and education.
Some highlights of the governor's legislative package include changes to the Economic and Community Development FastTrack incentive program. This is a tool for the Department of ECD to attract and expand jobs here in Tennessee. The reforms highlighted by the Administration allow for the budgets to allocate more for grants and giving the Department more flexibility in utilizing the grants.
The governor also submitted a proposal to cut taxes in Tennessee. Under Gov. Haslam's plan, the sales tax on groceries would be reduced so the tax burden on all Tennesseans will be reduced in a time of economic hardship. He also proposed cutting the death tax, a punitive tax that hurts Tennessee family businesses and farms. Both of these items have long been priorities of many members of the House GOP Caucus.
House Republicans Pass Constitutional Amendment Banning State Income Tax
More Evidence that Tennessee Works, While Washington Dithers
As expected, House Republicans quickly switched gears this week from redistricting to focusing on job creation and the economy.
A number of conservative members have talked about the certainty job creators must have in Tennessee in a number of different areas; including legal reform, regulatory mandates and, perhaps most important, tax law. While Tennessee is currently one of only a handful of states not to impose a punitive income tax on its citizens, several attempts have been made to change this fact.
On Thursday, Republican lawmakers took a strong stand on behalf of taxpayers to ensure Tennesseans will never have to face a tax on the money they work so hard to earn. Lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment, Senate Joint Resolution 221, to permanently place language in the Tennessee Constitution banning the implementation of an income tax. The amendment now must pass the next General Assembly by a 2/3rds vote before being placed on the 2014 election general election ballot.
Rep. Glen Casada (R—Franklin) stated, "America was built on the notion of self-reliance. Our tax code should reflect that principle and provide greater flexibility for taxpayers. Countless studies have shown income taxes are hurtful to state economies and harmful to the financial well-being of taxpayers while a sales tax allows taxpayers to be in charge of their resources. With today's vote, we are fulfilling our promise to Tennesseans that we will protect them from wasteful spending and government actions that hurt job creation in the private sector."
In passing SJR 221, the Republican majority painted a strong contrast between how government operates in Tennessee and the dysfunctional ways of the federal government in Washington.
SJR 221 removes all doubt about whether Tennesseans should have an onerous income tax levied against them. Clearly, we hear what the voters are telling us. I would hope Washington would do the same and get the federal government out of the way of America's job creators.
Republican Lawmaker Files Bill to Make Criminal Acts Conducted by Elected Officials Ineligible for Judicial Diversion
Rep. Ryan Haynes (R-Knoxville) this week announced he has filed legislation to disqualify elected or appointed officials from receiving judicial diversion for crimes committed during their term of office.
Judicial diversion is the process in criminal law when a person pleads guilty to a crime and can later have the charge removed (or expunged) from their record following a period of probation. It is granted by the judge.
"Accountability is a term that is thrown around a lot in public service these days. Unfortunately, not many take it seriously and that has to change," said Haynes. "A law like this would go a long way towards restoring the faith Tennesseans once had in their elected officials. We must hold ourselves to a higher standard and I think this is a strong first step towards raising the bar in Tennessee."
A person is eligible for judicial diversion in Tennessee if they do not have a previous class A misdemeanor, felony conviction, or never received diversion or had their record expunged before. Those charged with a class A felony, a class B felony, a sexual offense, or a DUI are not eligible for judicial diversion under state law. Senate Bill 2566 would simply add a criminal offense committed by an official in the executive, legislative or judicial branch to the list of those which are ineligible for judicial diversion, if the crime was committed in their official capacity or involve the duties of their office.

text: Disrupting poverty: How Barefoot College is empowering women through peer-to-peer learning and technology India 07 March 11 by Greg Williams Spend time with Roy -- pass through an airport with him, say -- and you can understand how his patrician charisma makes him something of an NGO rock star. "You're lucky to see him," says Yogi Durlabhji, who describes himself as a "friend and squash victim" of Roy's. "He shuttles between Bill Clinton and whoever else." The "whoever else" could be the Dalai Lama -- who visited the Tilonia campus in February -- or Jeff Skoll, the eBay founding president who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Barefoot College, or George Soros, whom Roy buttonholed once at the Aspen Institute in Colorado to tell him he was wasting his millions donating to top-down solutions.Operating at rarefied levels of governance and diplomacy is the life that Roy was born into: he was educated at two of India's elite educational establishments, the Doon school (alumni include former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, writer Vikram Seth and artist Anish Kapoor) and the University of Delhi. "I received an education that was very elitist, very snobbish, very exclusive," he says. In 1965, however, the then 20-year-old Roy visited Bihar, in north-eastern India, where he witnessed famine first-hand. The experience affected him deeply and, after graduating, he rejected a career as a diplomat or doctor in favour of digging wells in Rajasthan as an unskilled labourer. There he met a man who taught him how to drill and use explosives to blast down into the bedrock to find water. One day the man took him to a small village named Tilonia.Roy was shocked by the poverty he encountered there. The villagers were equally surprised to see a man of such pedigree in their midst. "They asked, 'Are you running from the police?' I said, 'No,'" Roy says. "'And you haven't got a government job?' I said, 'No.' 'And you have a degree?' I said, 'Yes.' 'So why are you here? Is there something wrong with you that we don't know?'"Suspicion arose because then, as now, educated Indians didn't move to rural areas. "It's very sad what the formal education system has done to people all over the world -- not just in India, in Africa [too]," Roy says.He stayed. Amid the poverty, he had found an old tuberculosis hospital that had been built by the British: a series of one-storey buildings with high ceilings and shaded verandas at the end of a road just outside Tilonia. The buildings were owned by the government and used as warehouses. Roy brought to bear the benefits of his upbringing: he spoke to a friend who was now a senior government figure in Delhi who agreed that Roy could rent the warehouses -- but only for a year. Roy asked why he wasn't allowed to take a longer lease.The official replied that there was no point: Roy wouldn't stick it out in the countryside. They agreed a fee of one rupee per year and Roy registered The Social Work and Research Centre (SWRC) -- Barefoot College's original name -- as an NGO in February 1972."We're still to surrender it after 40 years," he says with a smile.Roy's vision was to educate the local people who would then be able to use the skills and knowledge to raise themselves from poverty. He hired what he describes as "paper-qualified urban professionals" to come to Tilonia to do the teaching. But these educators would spend only a few months at the project before leaving for permanent positions in the cities. Roy realised he needed to change his approach, and from 1977 onwards his strategy shifted: he asked the local people who had learned skills to do the teaching.The college began by training men from the local village. But those who gained the expertise didn't stick around -- they left for the city in search of well-paid jobs. One of Roy's tenets for the programme had been to discourage migration, but he discovered that having skills had exactly the opposite effect on people. One day he had a revelation: he was training the wrong gender."So we switched to women," Roy says. "We thought that they'd be the best to train because they're not compulsively mobile."Advocating for the poor at the state assembly meant Roy and other Barefoot workers found themselves opposing local legislators and landowners. In 1979, the project was plunged into crisis when a worker whom Roy had dismissed for embezzlement was elected to local government and made an attempt to have the lease on the warehouses withdrawn. Roy received a letter telling him the campus must be vacated by January 1980.Then, in the autumn, Roy received another letter from, to his surprise, Robert McNamara, president of the World Bank. McNamara, who had served as US secretary of defense under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, had made it his business to use his office to reduce poverty, and wanted to visit Tilonia to see what Roy was doing. Soon afterwards, McNamara arrived in India with George Bundy, who had been secretary for national security under Kennedy and Johnson.McNamara's visit softened the attitude of the local government to the college, but Roy was sure of a reprieve only when, in January 1980, the month the college was due to close, Indira Gandhi was re-elected to power. The order to repossess the college buildings was overturned.The experience made Roy realise that, as long as he depended on others, the project could be derailed. So he decided to build a second "campus" on some land about a kilometre from the former hospital. The initial design took shape in 1986 after funding had been secured from the Indian government. Roy needed to find an architect to oversee the construction. He eventually settled on a man named Bhanwar Jad, one of the villagers who had filled the vacuum left by the departure of the urban professionals in the 70s.One Wednesday morning in July 2010, Jad, 48, stands on a hill above the Sambhar, India's largest saline lake, which is about 100km southwest of Jaipur. It's 45°C and children walk along the road holding their school bags over their heads for shade. Jad is surveying a Barefoot project, a recently constructed dam with a capacity of 20 million litres that supplies fresh water to 15 villages below. Jad, who wears a gold hoop earring and has greying black hair, smokes a cheroot while talking enthusiastically about his role as an architect and engineer."I'm an illiterate farmer," he says, squinting in the midday sun. "But I apply my mind. I think about gravity and pressure and design, and I learn from everything I do." The 2,800m2 campus was funded by the Indian government, the United Nations Development Programme and other humanitarian organisations and was completed in 1989 at a cost of $21,430. It was designed to be completely solar electrified: there are five solar units, each producing 10kW, enough to power 30 computers, 500 lights, 100 fans, a fridge freezer, a fax machine, telephones, the campus router and the community router. The rooftops are used to harvest rainwater, which is kept in underground storage tanks with a capacity of 500,000 litres. It is a model of self-sufficiency.

Police take on protesters as Turkish PM seeks calm
Ankara: Police firing water cannons and tear gas have dispersed protesters who erected street barricades near Turkey`s parliament overnight.
It was the latest face-off between authorities and demonstrators over the government`s response to a protest sit-in that began more than two weeks ago at a coveted Istanbul park.
The pre-dawn melee today in Ankara on a street also close to the US Embassy came hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan`s government asked a small delegation of protesters to persuade the hundreds of others occupying Gezi Park to leave.
Erdogan has promised to let the courts and a possible referendum decide the fate of a park redevelopment project that has sparked Turkey`s biggest protests in decades. His supporters were planning weekend counter demonstrations in Ankara and Istanbul.

DEFINITION of 'Itemized Deduction'
A deduction from a taxpayer's taxable adjusted gross income that is made up of deductions for money spent on certain goods and services throughout the year. The specific deductions that are allowed are outlined by the Internal Revenue Service and include such expenses as mortgage interest, state and local taxes, gifts, and medical expenses.
BREAKING DOWN 'Itemized Deduction'
Usually, an itemized deduction is limited to a certain percentage of adjusted gross income. As an alternative to standard deduction, an itemized deduction requires taxpayers to keep track of each possible tax-reducing expense throughout the year.
Individuals who frequently spend large amounts on medical care, state and local taxes, donations or other deductible expenses may be better off itemizing. However, tax law may set thresholds in spending that must be exceeded before the deductions can be made. For example, in the medical category, perhaps only expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income may be deducted. If you didn't spend at least that much, then none of your medical expenses will be deductible.

Announcing "Wear a Tux Penguin Day"
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
When I went to the Guinness Brewery in Dublin Ireland with my friend Antoni Dabek (an English-speaking Polish person living in Galway), I was wearing my Linux Essentials T-shirt from the Linux Professional Institute (lpi.org).
As I handed in my ticket the gentleman at the door said "Do you use Linux?", pointing at my T-shirt. I said "yes I do". He said "My room-mates all talk about it".
We had gotten about fifty feet inside the building when a tour visitor (with his family) said "Do you use Linux?". I said "Yes, I do", and he introduced himself as a new employee of the Hewlett Packard Cloud Initiative, who would be starting his new career the following Monday, and told me it was his six year old son who had spotted "Tux" on my T-shirt and alerted his father. I introduced him to Anthony, who has worked for a couple of years in HP's Cloud Initiative.....the "small world syndrome" strikes again.
The point is that Linux is everywhere. We often just do not see it. So I am asking *everyone* to prominently wear a "Tux" T-shirt on August 7th (my birthday), and (if you have one) drink beer (or coffee) out of your favorite GNU/Linux mug or stein.
Some people will say "I do not have a Tux T-shirt!" Well, Larry Ewing, the designer of Tux, was kind enough to give everyone permission to use the image as long as you tell people that he designed it with the GIMP when you are asked. That is easy enough to remember, so find your favorite image of Tux, get an iron-on-ink transfer for a T-shirt, and make your own! Make two and sell or give one to a friend! It is a gift that keeps on giving!
You can also buy a "Tux T-shirt" from many different outlets....just search for them on the Internet. There is still time to get it before my birthday!
Find out who is using GNU/Linux, but never remembered to tell you.
Show everyone that "GNU/Linux is Everywhere" on August 7th...make it a great birthday for me!comments powered by Disqus

Write the Right Word: Avoid 'Actual,' 'Actually'
"Actual" and "actually" are among the most overused words in the English language.
I'm sure you've heard something such as this: "I actually saw it happen!" or "What's the actual situation?"
"Actual" and "actually" shouldn't be used to suggest concepts such as at present, current, up to date, at this moment or now. If you saw something, such as an accident, all you need to say is, "I watched the cars collide." Or if you want to know the latest news about a particular incident, just say, "What is the situation?"
Use "actual" or "actually" when you want to indicate something is a fact, not just a possibility, or you are attempting to correct a mistake or misunderstanding. For example, "The actual cost of the new building is $23 million." Or this: "He actually attended NDSU, not South Dakota State University."

Images as emails are not user-friendly
When creating an email, it's important not to have an image as the message because people may not be able to view it. Some emails come through where the message is an inserted picture as the message, vs. typed text in the body of the email.
The email client on the desktop may not allow you to download images, or the sender may not be on your safe sender's list. Have you ever seen a blank email that prompts you to "Click here to download images?" That can be a problem because every extra step you make someone take to open a message is a risk in losing them. Delete.
Same goes for mobile. According to Litmus, 43% of all email opens were on a mobile device. That was of August 2013. Surely that number has risen by now as the adoption of mobile devices steadily increases. Look how this message displayed on my phone. There is no way to view the message. Delete.
It's every emailer's dream to have the audience complete the call to action or share with others to increase your audience. Let's say you were able to view this email because the sender is on your safe sender's list. But what if you wanted to share this email with someone else? Regardless of whether they open on mobile or desktop, they could run into the same problems because their settings may be different than yours. That's another lost chance to get your message across.
The desktop version of the email has a link that is underlined but not hyperlinked, so you're not taken any where by clicking on it. This is very confusing for the audience. I'm not even able to copy and paste the link into a browser to see where they want me to go. There's probably not many people that are going to take the time to check out that URL by having to retype the web address. Again, you're losing a potential "customer" by making it painful for access your information.
For readability purposes, it's best to use text in your email to assure your audience can view your message. Don't type up your message and save it as a .jpg or .png and hit send.

Creating Images With Canva
Creating images is an important part of online communication. Images make webpages and blog posts more attractive, engaging and shareable. Even creating a social media presence requires Facebook Covers, Twitter Headers and more.
Canva offers an easy to use, drag-and-drop interface for creating all kinds of images. Using their website or iPad app, you can use their templates, design themes, photos and fonts to create your own image.
Here's one I created with one of my own photos and a Canva layout.
Canva features templates for Facebook Covers, Instagram Posts, photo collages and much more. Once you choose a template, you can build on a blank slate or choose one of Canva's layouts. Like Canva's photos and fonts, some layouts are free and some are available for a small charge, usually $1. If you use elements that aren't free in your design, you'll be asked to pay for them before you can download the image you've created.
There are plenty of elements that are free, allowing you to create some really interesting images at no cost.

Don't Fall for the Latest Facebook Hoax
A Facebook hoax from 2012 is being recirculated in reaction to recently-announced changes to its privacy settings. You may have seen people posting a "legal" notice that disallows Facebook to use your information or posts.
A snippet:
"By this statement, I tell Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, broadcast, or take any other action against me on the basis of this profile and or its content."
According to snopes.com, this declaration is meaningless:
"While (Facebook) does not technically own its members content, it has the right to use anything that is not protected with Facebook's privacy and applications settings. For instance, photos, videos and status updates set to public are fair game."
The best way to protect your privacy on Facebook is to adjust your Privacy Settings to your comfort level. You can adjust who sees what, and even what ads you see. For the basics, see the Facebook Privacy page.
So if you see that Facebook post, be sure not to share it. Remember to apply the CRAAP test if you're not sure about the accuracy of a post.

Mobile-Friendly Sites are Favored by Google
Google recently announced that mobile-friendly websites will stand out in search with labels and possibly, rank.
I tested this out by searching "ndsu ag comm". Sure enough, mobile-friendly versions ranked higher than the non-mobile-friendly result.
Ag CMS sites have been mobile-friendly since March 2013. Roger did all the work designing the mobile template and had the foresight to know that more and more users are using the Mobile Web.
Just take a look at our most recent Google Analytics for all Ag CMS sites:
Note that desktop sessions have only grown by 3.67% so far in 2014, but our overall number of sessions is up by 22.5%, mainly due to mobile traffic. We have had nearly 5 times as many mobile sessions already this year than we did all of last year.
Without having to worry about design, you can concentrate on the content. Here's some tips on writing for the Mobile Web.

Write the Right Word: Including
Despite the way "include" or "including" seems to be used these days, it does not mean "all" or "everything."
Use "include" or "including" before a series only if you are not listing everything. For example: "The family has several pets, including three cats and a dog." Using "including" in this case is OK because the family also has two hamsters and a parakeet.
When you list everything in a series, use "are." For example: "The three color options for this model are white, green and light blue."
One more hint: Do not tack "etc." or "and more" to the end of a list when you precede it with "include" or "including." The words "include" and "including" are a clear indication that the list is not complete, which makes the "etc." or "and more" unnecessary.

Lindquist Shares How to Own the Stage
Mark Lindquist opened the Sept. 30 - Oct. 3 Extension/REC Fall Conference sharing how those of us who give presentations can use his acting and speaking tips to "Own the Stage."
Develop a rehearsal habit. Rehearse to an empty chair, and give it your all in practice. You can't control everything, but you can control practice. Amateurs rehearse until they get it right; professionals rehearse until they don't get it wrong.
Prepare short stories/vignettes to use as appropriate. Let somebody else tell the story for you.
Use images, not PowerPoint bullets. Photos and graphics truly are worth a thousand words, illustrating stories and leaving images with your audience. Don't read slides to your audience.
Establish your credibility. Share why you're qualified to speak on this topic.
Be confident, competent, compelling and charismatic.
In summary, Lindquist said, "Only 11 percent of people have passion for what they do. You have a story worth telling and a mission worth doing."

Get notified when somone submits your Google form
More and more Extension and REC staff are using Google forms to collect registrations, evaluations, email addresses for newsletter sign up, and more. Sometimes staff would like to know right away when someone completes a form. For instance, Bob and I have a simple Google form on the Ag CMS homepage that collects information for people who need an Ag CMS login. We like to get these people signed up right away so they are still enthused and also for good customer service. When someone fills out the form, Bob and I get an email notification and we can take the information the person provided and get them set up in ag CMS right away.
Not only can you get email notifications for when a user submits a form, but also changes to your form like if a collaborator was added or if any changes to the spreadsheet were made. You can set the alerts up to come into your inbox once a day, or as-it-happens.
Here's a quick video on how to set up email notifications for Google Forms.
If you need help with setting up notifications, please contact Bob Bertsch or myself.

Write the Right Word: Both and Either
"Both" and "either" often get overused. That's especially the case in sentences where an "and" or an "or" makes them unnecessary.
For example: "Mary and John went to the store." The "and" clearly indicates the two of them went to the store. You don't need to say "Mary and John both went to the store." However, if you do not use their names, then "both" is OK: "Both also went to the movies."
You don't need to use "either" when you give two options and connect them with an "or." For example: "The producer had a choice of planting corn or soybeans" (not either corn or soybeans).
One additional note on "either:" Use it to mean one or the other, not both. For example: "You can use either door." However, "The woman placed planters on both sides of her front door."

Multiple Admins for Facebook Pages Are a Must
It's important to have at least one backup "admin" for you office or department Facebook (FB) Page.
Facebook Pages are created through individual Facebook profiles. The person who creates the FB Page becomes the first, and sometimes only, "admin." If a FB Page has only one admin and that person leaves NDSU or deletes their personal Facebook profile, the page may be lost to your department, taking with it all the posts, likes and comments the page has gathered.
To avoid an unfortunate end to your Facebook Page, you just need to make sure your page has multiple admins. Any admin of a FB Page can add an additional admin as long as the new admin has a Facebook account, and they are friends with the original admin on Facebook or the original admin knows the email address associated with the new admin's Facebook account.
If there is no one in your office who can be made an admin for your FB Page, you can add me as an admin for your page using my email address, email@example.com.
Just login to your Facebook profile and visit the FB Page you want to add an admin to.
Once there, click on the "Settings" tab.
Next, click "Page Roles" in the "Settings" menu.
Add an admin by beginning to type their name or by typing in the email address associated with their Facebook account. If you are friends with the person you are adding, their Facebook profile should pop-up when you start typing their name. If you are using their email address, just type the full email address.
You will want to set their page role to "Admin." FB Page admins have the same permissions to edit a page as the person who created the page. If you want a true backup in case you leave NDSU or cannot access the FB Page, you'll need to assign someone the role of "Admin." Click "Save" when you are done.
Once you've added someone to your Facebook Page, they will receive a Facebook notification to let them know.
If you are interested in using the other page roles Facebook provides for giving people access to your page, check out the chart below or visit the Facebook Help Center's "Page Roles" article.

PALATINE, Ill., Sept. 13, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:ACUR) today announced that it and certain of its current and former executive officers have been named as defendants in a purported class action lawsuit filed on September 10, 2010 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges that the Company and certain executive officers violated federal securities laws by making false or misleading statements, or failing to disclose material facts in order to make statements not misleading, during the period February 21, 2006 through April 22, 2010, relating to the Company's Acurox® product candidate, and that these statements artificially inflated the trading price of the Company's common stock to the detriment of shareholders who purchased shares during that time. Plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages for the purported class.

Yahoo revenue in Q1 2011 fell 24 percent to $1.2 billion compared to first quarter 2010, but the firm stressed its focus on expanding on recent display ad revenue growth. The company said it would delay transition of additional paid search markets related to its Microsoft deal because revenue per search (RPS) has not met expectations.
Yahoo reported overall display revenue rose 6 percent to $523 million, compared to $491 million in Q1 2010. Subtracting traffic acquisition costs, display revenue rose 10 percent in Q1. New display platform features for ad yield management and inventory prediction "translated directly into higher ROI for our advertising," said Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz.
In Q2, the company expects display revenue growth to accelerate compared to this past quarter. "We're better able to predict and therefore monetize our content," said Bartz during a conference call with investors this afternoon. The company said advertisers in the financial, auto, and retail categories are spending more with Yahoo.
Search revenue dropped 46 percent from Q1 2010, falling to $455 million. Bartz referred to RPS-related problems associated with its Microsoft search partnership. "We're holding off on transitioning more paid search markets this year," she said.
"RPS is below what either Microsoft or Yahoo had expected," said Bartz. She chalked it up to problems related to ad prediction, budget, and relevance issues. Microsoft has presented Yahoo with a plan for "how to use hard science and new technology in [Microsoft] AdCenter to get this thing back to where it needs to be," said Bartz, later noting that means "back to where Panama was as a baseline."
The firm touted tech-driven events-related content associated with the Super Bowl and the Oscars, and pointed to a new royal wedding site at RoyalWedding.Yahoo.com. Yahoo also launched its Search Direct feature in Q1; the system provides users with instant answers and search results as they submit queries.
Bartz said the company served 1.6 billion ad impressions on behalf of Chrysler in conjunction with its three-pronged "Road to the Award Shows" sponsorship of Yahoo's coverage of the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Academy Awards.

Michael is running as a Democrat hoping to replace current Republican Amos Thomas who has also announced he is running for re-election. Her purpose for being there was to field questions and concerns from the seniors while also letting them know of her current campaign.
"It is OK not to be mayor," Michael said. "Twelve years is a long time."
Michael spoke about her origins in government. The North Putnam graduate began by working in the State Auditors Office as an intern while she attended Indiana University. Michael was asked by former Mayor Mike Harmless to run for mayor near the end of his term.
Following her stint as mayor that recently ended, she started campaigning on December 5, 2007.
"I kept coming back to my love for local government," Michael stated in reference to her post-mayoral days.
Her major platform issues revolve around job security and quality education.
Michael has been substitute teaching at Greencastle Middle School and High School lately.
"It surprised me how teachers are not being provided with enough materials for them to be able to help educate students," Michael said. "My big goal is to be able to help the educators."
Michael said the there is a problem with how property taxes are used to fund schools. The schools in richer communities like Avon and Carmel have more money at their disposal, giving their students more of a chance.
"Once they get to college, all students are expected to have the same background. There is no leniency given because one school didn't have as much money for educational purposes as another," Michael stated.
This led into the next plan she has always been known for locally as mayor but hopes to take to the statehouse -- fairness and consistency.
When it came time for the seniors to ask questions, the only question asked was what Michael could do to help fund senior programs.
Jim Stevens, director of the senior center, stated, "We are in an uncharted area because we don't know where the funds are coming from because the state is trying to pass off senior care to the Federal Government who doesn't want it. If something doesn't change, we're going to have to look at cutting services."
Michael said she thinks it's unfair that the Senior Center must raise nearly $80,000 for their yearly expenses, only being given around $20,000.

Dior Grand Bal False Eyelashes ($28.00/pair) come in two styles with two shades each. The first pair are adorned with either silver or gold crystals, while the second pair has three "pearls" on the outermost portion of the lash in either silver or gold. Both styles are rather dramatic, as the first pair flares out with a wide, feathery look, while the second style is thicker, heavier-lidded. These had good flex, bend, and can be trimmed easily. Dior includes glue with each pair, and the glue didn't take too long to become tacky, and it held the lash in place well. I haven't used these in a real look yet – only played with them on bare lids, so no pictures to share of them being worn at this time (hence, quick review).Read Full Review
