What clothing brands do your 8 to 11 year old girls like to wear? My daughter is excited because she can finally fit into the clothes at Justice. However, I'm not impressed with their quality. Her clothes from Justice that are only a few months old are already looking faded, etc... I've never had issues with the other clothing brands she wears. For instance, she has some Roxy clothing items that are several years old and they still look brand new.
What brands do your girls in this age range like to wear? I'm looking for clothes that are trendy (my daughter thinks she's a little fashionista) and made well.

|Ink drying time
|Immediate (less than 30 seconds)
|Ink is dry to the touch after printing. However, it takes 24 hours before it cures and becomes durable.
|Resistance to water
|Bleeding does not occur with incidental water contact. However, encapsulated lamination is recommended in wet conditions.
|Excellent with EPSON Archival and UltraChrome Ink; poor with dye-based ink.
|With regard to dye-based images, lamination or framing under glass greatly increases gas-fastness and the life of the print.
|Handling requirements
|Use care
|Handle with care to avoid scratching and kinking.
|Lamination feasibility
|Hot or cold lamination
|Lamination extends the life of the print and increases durability.

The Politics of Space
with Casey Dreier
Space exploration doesn't just happen—it is made through the decisions of government, budgets, policy documents, and by individuals and industries. It reflects the needs and realities of politics, and understanding how, where, and why these decisions get made are crucial to influencing them. Space exploration is for all of us, and unless all of us know the process, it will inevitably be driven by the very few. Casey Dreier, The Planetary Society's Director of Advocacy, writes this blog.

Om Ali (Egyptian Bread Pudding)
Om Ali is a storied dessert. There are a number of tales that purport to explain its origins. Whichever is correct, and I'll not regale you with them here, one thing is for sure; literally translated, 'om Ali' means 'mother of Ali'. But more importantly, it is the Egyptian take on the British classic bread and butter pudding.

Six high level security considerations and 10 pre-planning questions to ask when thinking about risk with meetings and events:
With the recent terrorist events that tragically ended with massive loss of human life in Paris, Mali and San Bernardino, California, what is painfully clear is that these types of terrorist attacks and public targeting can happen anywhere in the world. The demand for business travel, meetings, events and congresses has already exceeded global pre-recession levels so the ultimate responsibility for attendee safety and security belongs to the companies that employ and deploy these attendees and road warriors all over the world as part of their job responsibilities and to generate corporate revenues and awareness.

Suggestions for driving route from Nice to Vaison la Romaine
Looking for suggestions about driving route from Nice to Vaison la Romaine. I would like to incorporate a few stops , perhaps Rousillon, but at the same time don`t want to turn drive into 7-8 hour trip. Am I dreaming? Plan is to rent car in Nice, stay two nights in Vaison la Romaine and return car to Avignon on third day.

Why Kevin Durant Is Sick Of Pro-Am Games
When Kevin Durant made an impromptu trip to New York and took the court at Rucker Park, it suddenly became cool for NBA players to search for a game by any means necessary.
That was Aug. 1.
Two months later, the trend already has lost its luster — at least to Durant it has.
The two-time scoring champ on Tuesday briefly shared his thoughts via Twitter on the stream of streetball games that have swept the country and quickly become the biggest fad in this NBA lockout. It all started when Milwaukee point guard Brandon Jennings asked Durant if he was ready for a rematch between the D.C.-based Goodman League and the Los Angeles-based Drew League. Durant fired back a candid response.
yea I am, but on da real..all these game starting to get played out..but I'm ready for the rematch"
Jennings immediately agreed, responding "you ain't never lie."
It's important to note here that Durant hasn't let his feelings stop him from taking the court in these exhibitions. After all, basketball never stops. Durant's scheduled to appear in Chris Paul's charity game on Saturday on the campus of Winston Salem State University. Durant (as well as teammate Russell Westbrook) also is scheduled to play in a charity game in Miami hosted by the Heat's All-Star trio on Oct. 8. Durant originally was scheduled to take part in the "Battle for I-95″ between Philadelphia and Baltimore, as well as the Goodman versus Knox Indy Pro Am in Indianapolis, but had to back out of both because of a previous commitment with filming his movie "Switch" in Baton Rouge, La.
But is it true? Have these pickup games — which started in earnest on July 23 with a showcase in the Philippines — become trite?
The competitiveness of these exhibitions has always been in question. No one, not even for a second, believed these barnstorming games could ever come close to replacing NBA action. But for the player who helped pioneer the movement to deem it "played out" after 60 days is a bit of an eye-opener.
So why would Durant deem it so?
The answer is authenticity.
At some point over the last three months, some games stopped being played for genuine reasons. It stopped being about the love and started being about the money. Somewhere along the line, a few savvy promoters saw a means to make a buck. As a result, some exhibitions stopped focusing as much on fans and charities and instead sought to fatten a few pockets.
That's one reason attendance has tapered off in various cities. A game two Saturdays ago at Coolidge High in D.C., for example, drew a meager crowd despite players like Durant, John Wall, Michael Beasley, Jeff Green and DeMarcus Cousins serving as headliners.
Durant started randomly showing up to parks and gyms this summer for two reasons: he loves to play and he loves giving fans who otherwise couldn't afford to see him a glimpse of his skills. Now that it's no longer completely about that, Durant's not with it. He's lost his desire. Better yet, he never had that desire.
Should this lockout linger, Durant will look to host a charity game in the Oklahoma City area. He'll do it for the right reasons. For the fans. He wants to invite stars from other teams. And he knows it'll be packed.
And nothing about that is played out.

Cevec Pharmaceuticals and Catalent Pharma Solutions have launched a joint commercial cell-line development service for pharma and biotech customers developing recombinant proteins and antibodies worldwide.
The service combines Cevec's human cell line CAP-T expression technology with Catalent's GPEx® (gene product expression) technology. The goal is to generate high-expressing stable human cell lines in a much shorter time frame than traditional methods.
CAP cell lines contain adenovirus type 5 nucleotide sequence 505-4079 including the E1 genes and the entire pIX sequence. The technology uses an expression system for biopharmaceuticals based on human amniocytes derived from amniotic fluid cells obtained by amniocentesis.
GPEx technology is a pseudo-types, high-titer vector designed to generate stable mammalian cell lines. GPEx has reportedly been used to express more than 380 different molecules.
The joint cell-line service will allow the development of a clone candidate in less than five months, significantly reducing customers' time to clinic, states Scott Houlton, Catalent's president of development & clinical services. By contrast, using conventional gene insertion and expression techniques, development of a stable production cell line for atraget protein can take up to 18 months, he notes.
Wolfgang Kintzel, managing director and CCO of CEVEC, says that after several months of testing the combination of CAP cells and GPEx technology, "we achieved yields exceeding 3 g/L for a very complex protein produced in our human production cell lines in a very short time frame."
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Eagan nurse allegedly tried to kill her husband by feeding him Ambien smoothie
Losie faces up to a half-decade behind bars for allegedly trying to kill her husband in all sorts of ways.
If Amy Losie was as effective as a nurse as she was in trying to kill her husband, then we pity her patients.
SEE ALSO: Roger Holland of Apple Valley allegedly murdered pregnant wife, attempted coverup
Losie, a 37-year-old Eagan nurse, allegedly tried to kill her husband with an Ambien smoothie, a pillow, and an insulin overdose. But she failed each time, and a co-worker eventually alerted authorities about her murderous scheming.
Eagan Patch details Losie's efforts, part of which involved stealing incremental amounts of insulin from the unnamed hospital she worked at:
[Losie's co-worker] told officers that Losie, a nurse at a Twin Cities hospital, frantically called her earlier that day [on March 20]. During the conversation, Losie allegedly told the witness that she tried to give her husband a smoothie blended with 15 Ambien pills, and that on another occasion, she tried to put a pillow over his face. The husband didn't like the taste of the smoothie and didn't finish it, Losie allegedly said.
Police say Losie also admitted to intentionally overdosing her husband, on insulin--at one point asking the witness: "How do you give somebody 60 units and then 80 units of insulin and they don't die?"...
At investigators' requests, the witness arranged another phone call with Losie, which was recorded by officers. In the call, Losie told the witness that she felt trapped and that nothing ever changed. Losie also admitted to attempting to give her husband an insulin overdose by injecting him with needles in the stomach three times, according to police.
Following the phone call, police arrested Losie, and she's since been charged with a felony count of making terroristic threats and a gross misdemeanor count of harassment. She told police she was frustrated with her drug-addled husband, but that only seems like a decent reason to leave him, not attempt to kill him (Though it should be noted she wasn't charged with attempted murder).
Losie denied actually injecting her husband with drugs, but police found a yellow bruise on his stomach. He told police he had no idea the bruise might've been caused by an injection.

I have owned this camera now for about a year. I love it as my pocket/walking around camera when I'm traveling light. Paired with the Olympus 45mm lens and you get great quality images. Now I'm not biased because I own one, I also an EPL5 and the EM5, but I also shoot Canon and Nikon depending on the assignment. I am however very disappointed to have turned it on (EPM2) after using it last week to find the lcd has malfunctioned :( I have yet to contact Olympus but it must be a defective lcd because it was only sitting on my shelf so it hasn't had any thing happen to it between uses. Aside from this little issue the pics are still coming out clean but my color scale is way out of line (everything is purple). I and my wife shoot so I usually have the D4 or the 1DX depending on which one she chooses and I have to say I really enjoy the Olympus mirrorless when I'm not working and even at work I usually bring the EM5 with the Olympus 45mm for in between shooting with the big cameras..
The E-PM2 offers full 1080 HD video recording, with a shooting mode accessed through the internal menu or via dedicated record start/stop button on the camera's back panel. Art Filters can be applied to video, with the ability to switch between filters while recording. Though the E-PM2 offers built-in sensor-shift image stabilization for still images, only electronic stabilization is available for video recording. Stereo microphones take care of audio recording - they're located to the left and right of the accessory port on the top panel.
|The E-PM2's red movie record button sits towards the upper right of the camera's rear. This initiates movie recording in any mode, allowing for pretty spontaneous capture.
Video clips recorded outside in ample sunshine look smooth and well-exposed. Focus options in movie mode include single point AF, continuous AF and manual. All manual exposure modes are available for movie recording, and ISO can be set manually or left to automatic.
Sample Video 1
This first video shows the E-PM2 being panned across a bright sunlit cityscape.The pan was as smooth as we could manage and footage is reasonably smooth too, and detailed. Focus stays locked throughout the clip, and although some wind 'booming' is audible in places, despite the breezy day, sound is nicely rendered.
|1920 x 1080 30p, 42MB, MOV, 17 sec. Click here to download original file
Sample Video 2
This video shows us getting up close and personal with some of the local Seattle wildlife. From a technical point of view this is a tough subject, which contains a lot of fine detail. Not only that but there's some fast motion here, too. The E-PM2 copes well, and as you can see, this clip is very detailed. Some graininess in the darker feathers is about the only 'problem' here.

protected int countElements(Iterator<?> iterator)

while (iterator.hasNext())
return count;
The method countElements is used continually and is called continually ,but it has bad performance.
If the iterator has million elements ,we have to iterate million times to just get the count of the iterator.
this methods used in many pacles:
1) DistributedCooccurrenceVectorSimilarity
public class DistributedCooccurrenceVectorSimilarity extends AbstractDistributedVectorSimilarity {
protected double doComputeResult(int rowA, int rowB, Iterable<Cooccurrence> cooccurrences, double weightOfVectorA,
double weightOfVectorB, int numberOfColumns)
one items may be liked by many people, we has system ,one items may be liked by hundred thousand persons,
Here doComputeResult just returned the count of elements in cooccurrences,but It has to iterate for hundred thousand times.
If we use List or Array type,we can get the result in one call. because it already sets the size of the Array or list when system constructs the List or Array.
2) DistributedLoglikelihoodVectorSimilarity
3) DistributedTanimotoCoefficientVectorSimilarity

For the millions of cooccurrences to be modeled as a list or an array, we would have to simultaneously load them all into memory.
We can't do this because then the scalability of the whole job would be limited by the amount of RAM available on the worker machines.
IIRC Mahout's goal is that its distributed jobs run in linear time compared to the amount of input data and need a constant amount of memory.
millions of cooccurrences is just a assumption.
even thousand of cooccurrences ,iterating just for count is low performance.
There's no point of time in the algorithm before the invocation of the SimilarityReducer where all cooccurrences for a pair of rows are seen together, so to load them into memory there it would also be necessary to iterate over them.
This does expose another problem, though, in that these counts should be combined in addition to being reduced. That means that the count++ should be something like count += value and there should be an upstream combiner somewhere.
That will do much more good than using lists.
I have opened one issue for MAPREDUCE,here is their comment :
That comment from Owen is essentially the same as what I and others have said. If you need to count, use integers and combiners. Don't wait until the reducer.
In any case, it isn't a MAHOUT bug that map-reduce inherently doesn't allow you to see all the data being reduced in one place.
Anybody mind if I close this as NOT-A-BUG?

text: If two is a coincidence and three is a trend, then T-Mobile's third 3G phone, Samsung's slidin' t819, will solidify the carrier's commitment to rolling out a 3G UMTS network in the spring, delayed from the original promise of Q4 2006. This FCC leak comes on the heels of the Nokia 6263 arrival, but also after the mysterious disappearance of Samsung's original T-Mo 3G phone, the t639. (Who knows? Maybe it was never for sale on the T-Mo site, in spite of confident early reports.) OK, we might be a little too early to call a date, but by this news we can assume that the 3G rollout will definitely happen. Sometime. Maybe. [MobileBurn]

I recently got a cheap 15t cog and was gonna use it, but after screwing it on, noticed some slop before it was tightened up. I ended up going with a smoother and tighter fitting Dura Ace instead.
I noticed Harris' fixed gear page mentions not carrying the cheaper cogs anymore for probably similar reasons. Anyone have problems with such cogs?

He's about 11 lbs. and is now in the smiling phase - loves bath time - and is experimenting with his vocal cords. Very fun times. I just wish I were a SAHM, but since my DH and I have opposite schedules, he's got daddy daycare during the day - which is good for bonding. Hope you all are having good times with your little ones. Some days are stressful, but the rest of the days more than make up for it, no?

Heartgold and Soulsilver were brilliant remakes, that brought nostalgia for the old Pokemon fans along with neat, little features of their own. I would agree with you there, being a great mix of new and old, some of the brand new features being Pokemon could now tag behind you, making a stronger bond and the old features like the classic Pokegear where you would get constant calls from Youngster Joey either ranting about his top percentage Rattata or asking for a rematch.
I also loved how they kept the ability to explore Kanto, it made it a special game as no other ones allowed you to explore two regions. They represented the originals well, with all the old features back, a similar if not almost same storyline and then added new twists, so old and new fans could enjoy it. But to sum it all up HG/SS was a good mix of new and old features.
pineapples are cool.

A still from the video for Shenandoah Davis' "Sewn Up Tight," directed by Ian Craig Young Brown.
While you were frolicking in the sun, a bunch of great local music videos came out this summer. Check them out after the jump:
A still from the video for Shenandoah Davis' "Sewn Up Tight," directed by Ian Craig Young Brown.
12. Damien Jurado, "Museum of Flight"
Footage taken from a recent European tour backed by the best song from the great Maraqopa.
11. Witch Gardens, "Aunt Shae, Mean Colleen"
This came out in May, but it's exuberant footage of windy beaches and surprise parties merits a re-watch. Keep your eyes peeled for clubs editor Erin Thompson's dog, James!
10. Posse, "Sarah"
Old yearbook photos and illustration collide in the video for the garage-pop breakup song "Sarah."
9. Deadkill, "Oh God Help You"
And now for something a little heavier. Dark passageways, sobbing, and... hardcore? Half nightmare, half awesome.
DIRTY SIDEWALKS House II from Way Harsh Productions on Vimeo.8. Dirty Sidewalks, "House II"
The only band in Seattle who admits to liking Oasis shares a video that would fit perfectly in the '90s Brit pop scene.
Naomi Punk - Burned Body from Couple Skate on Vimeo.7. Naomi Punk, "Burned Body"
"The black-and-white, cut-up, stop-motion clip... perfectly complements the song's lurching, stop-start energy, and the relative release of the chorus," said Eric Grandy when he reviewed the video last month.
Shenandoah Davis - Sewn Up Tight from Shenandoah Davis on Vimeo.6. Shenandoah Davis, "Sewn Up Tight"
Davis channels Edith Piaf and Swan Lake in the video for "Sewn Up Tight."
Dude York - And Andrew Too from The Sounds Of Sweet Nothing on Vimeo.5. Dude York, "And Andrew, Too"
Short but sweet like the song, this video packs a colorful surprise into two minutes.
4. Blue Scholars, "Slick Watts"
Sabzi goes on a food tour of Seattle in a the new video for "Slick Watts," stopping at iconic restaurants like Dick's burgers and the Shell station on Beacon Ave for fried catfish.
3. Campfire OK, "Wishing You the Best"
A video for the first song from their upcoming full-length.
2. Kingdom Crumbs, "Evoking Spirits"
Cool animation by Israeli artist Ori Toor illustrates the experimental hip-hop group's Shabazz-esque track.
1. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, "Thrift Shop"
A tongue-in-cheek ode to the unofficial pastime of Seattle gets an equally entertaining video.

While 2011 is The Year of The Rabbit, it's going to be The Year of The Pig as far as I'm concerned with my new American Salumi calendar already hanging by my desk.
Get a load of Mr. March!
I managed to get Mr. December (aka Armandino Batali) to autograph it for me when I was at Salumi for lunch last week, after standing in a long line in the pouring rain. (The braised oxtail, the meatball and the steaming bowl of soup at the end of the line made it all worth it.)The calendar features salumi specialists from around the country, a spectacular centerfold with every type of cured meat you can imagine (see how many you've tried), lessons on how to cure your own and a history of salumi making in this country. Which is where Armandino comes in. "Before Armandino, there were only cold cuts," the calendar reads.
While the former Boeing engineer has stepped away from the day-to-day operation when his daughter Gina Batali and her husband Brian D'Amato became partners several years ago, he's still there many Thursdays, visiting with regulars, posing for photos with ga-ga tourists, even signing the occasional autograph.
The American Salumi calender is $12.95 and can be ordered here.

Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The games industry has to move forward and the gamers have to follow, so some people could just see this as a 'normal' thing to happen. But with the lack of DS games, is it fair?
It's never been 'fair', arguably. Video games is a business after all, so Nintendo (and other companies) want to keep pushing the newer product sooner or later, and now is the time. 2 years after the 3DS went live is not too bad a wait, and this game isn't out for another 10 months either. Plenty of time to save up for a used console for example if you really only want to play Pokemon (and this is assuming no other Pokemon 3DS titles over the next few years, which isn't a sound asusmption). Plus you're going to get more titles that may interest you too down the track. On top of OoT, Kid Icarus, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, etc, you've got Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Super Smash Brothers, etc to expect sooner or later. If not one of those gets you at least mildly interested then you're likely part of the minority, and this is all about appealing to as many people as possible. (After all, if one game doesn't appeal to someone another may. Now it's just Pokemon's turn to jump the gap, so to speak).
At any rate, this won't kill the franchise whatsoever. 3DS sales are already quite fine now (see Went's post), and just look at how the internet responded to the livestream to see the current interest in Pokemon (on top of sale figures for 5th gen, etc). Pokemon isn't going anywhere due to this besides forward. (DS' will stop being manufactured sooner or later too, anyways).

In my short stint writing this on-boarding blog, I've been told many times — both by sources and co-workers — that leadership in an individual is desired at each level of employment.
So it should be of little surprise that most of the on-boarding books you'll find out there are directed toward executives — leaders who are stepping into high-profile roles.
I, on the other hand, have not stepped into my editorial role as a leader — or so I thought.
This, at first, made it a challenge to find proper blog fodder for posts each and every week. Seldom did I feel that the published material on executives stepping into new positions applied to me.
But the longer that my personal on-boarding experience as an editor at MediaTec has gone, the more I realize that I — even in my associate role — am looked to as a leader every single day.
What is important for all on-boarders — and, as a result, leaders — is making sure to craft your leadership vision, or message, early on at an organization. By failing in this regard, new hires are passing up an opportunity to create an identity as an important team member in an organization.
New employees can create this message in a number of ways. They can verbally express it, show it through their work ethic or through the quality of the work they produce. In any event, it's important that new hires be upfront and clear on what goals and visions they have for their work at an organization.
I bring this idea of crafting a leadership message up for one main reason. Being the sports junkie that I am, it's incredibly difficult for me not to notice the parallels between the sports world and on-boarding.
Earlier this week, news became official that Theo Epstein, a 37-year-old Yale graduate and former general manager for the Boston Red Sox, was named president of baseball operations for the Chicago Cubs.
For longtime Cubs fans (myself included), Epstein is viewed as the savior — with a penchant for statistical analysis with the Red Sox, he was able to break the team's 86-year "curse" and help them win a World Series in 2004. The Red Sox won the World Series again in 2007.
The Cubs, a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1908, are hoping Epstein's guidance can help them do the same.
At his introductory news conference Tuesday, Epstein was clear in his leadership message: The Cubs were going to produce a winning franchise by building the team through young players and a stout farm system. They would not rely on short-term solutions instead of taking into account the long-term goals of the organization.
This was important for key stakeholders in the Cubs organization — and for the fans — to hear.
It was important that Epstein, with the heat of the local media on him, made his vision and message clear. It's been reported that he also spent his first couple days in town meeting with other key stakeholders in the Cubs' front office to communicate his message.
Now, I realize that not every hire will be accompanied by a press conference, where reporters are demanding clear answers to the direction your employment will take.
Herein lies an important on-boarding message nonetheless. As we are all aware, many on-boarding programs are loaded with routine and orientation, often leaving little room for the individual to show what he/she, as the new hire, can contribute to the on-boarding process.
Even at middle and lower levels of an organization, employees should be invited to share what their visions and contributions could be. This shouldn't just be left for executives or high potentials.
In the end, allowing on-boarders to present and craft a leadership message early on will give them something to work toward; will keep them more engaged; and will make the on-boarding process much more collaborative and productive in the long term.
As for how Theo's message is put to action with the Cubs, we'll have to wait and see.

There is only one problem with this. Gun Digest ran this, but how many news outlets ran it, how many major new media outlets ran this story. It's a great story, but the news outlets are so controlled to not let such great stories out that only those of us that read such things as Gun Digest will ever know about these types of events, well us and some locals. It's a shame isn't it.

Colorado colleges and universities are bracing for further budget cuts as Gov. Bill Ritter's office seeks permission from the federal government to reduce higher-education funding without forfeiting hundreds of millions in federal stimulus dollars.
Ritter said Monday that the waiver is a precaution meant to give him more options as the state budget gap widens — not a guarantee of additional cuts to the state's share of higher-education budgets.
Even so, school leaders still smarting from the $150 million cut by lawmakers during the legislative session worry that additional reductions would hurt their service to students.
A memo from the governor's budget office discusses taking about $80 million more from colleges in the next two years.
"We're going to attempt to get that waiver so we can have flexibility," Ritter said Monday. "Everything's on the table. We're really going to go through (suggested budget cuts) with a fine-tooth comb."
Federal strings attached to $760 million in education stimulus money require states to keep their K-12 and higher-education budgets at or above their 2005-06 levels.
The waiver would allow Colorado to cut K-12 funding to below the 2005-06 levels, but a spokesman for the governor said there is no intent to do so.
The state sent $555 million to colleges and universities in 2005-06.
Stephen Jordan, president of Metropolitan State College, said his institution is already stuck at those funding levels while serving 17 percent more students than the school had that year.
He estimates that Metro's share of an additional $80 million cut could drop its per-pupil state funding to 1986-87 levels, depending on how cuts are implemented.
"That's pretty dramatic," Jordan said. "I don't think that was the feds' intent. It hits us and the community colleges particularly hard."
The state is looking to close a nearly $400 million budget gap in the 2009-10 fiscal year and has asked state agencies to suggest ways to cut 10 percent from their budgets.
Departments were required to submit their suggestions by Monday.
Ritter's spokesman, Evan Dreyer, said the suggestions would not be made public under the Colorado Open Records Act while the governor's office reviews them.
Ritter discussed the waiver Monday, the same day he was appointed to lead the National Governors Association's committee on education.
Dreyer said because of constitutional budget requirements, higher education is often a target for cuts.
"What we have said since last fall is that we're going to do whatever we can to protect education from preschool all the way up to college," Dreyer said.

Don Dion's Weekly ETF Blog Wrap
RealMoney this past week.If natural-gas prices stay strong, the newer U.S. 12 Month Natural Gas Fund (UNL) is a better bet than the U.S. Natural Gas Fund (UNG). But if you want to hedge your bets, the First Trust ISE-Revere Natural Gas Fund (FCG), which has tracked oil equipment and exploration ETFs more closely than the price of natural gas, would likely benefit if both oil and natural-gas prices increase. In the past month, while the U.S. Oil Fund (USO) fell 11.6%, UNG gained 5.6%. The divergence was most dramatic today with crude prices briefly dipping below $70 per barrel, as natural-gas prices jumped 7%. UNG previously outperformed USO for brief periods this year, but the general trend has been one of consistent underperformance, as UNG fell to one new low another. The recent rise in natural-gas prices is largely thanks to early winter weather in parts of the U.S., which caused inventory to dip for the first time in nine months. While some may see this as strong evidence of a resurgence for natural gas and UNG, the supply/demand imbalance continues to make me cautious. In any case, UNL has outperformed UNG throughout the rally and will likely continue to do so if the jump continues. Where winter heating costs are concerned, oil prices may benefit as much as natural gas, a scenario that would make FCG the best play. I have often promoted FCG as an alternative to the damaged UNG, but rather than following the recent natural-gas rally, FCG appears to be mimicking the performance of oil and oil explorer funds, with UNG price movements nudging it up or down within that group. In this scenario, FCG will outperform the other instruments it has been trending with, including the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Oil Equipment Fund (IEZ), due to its stronger exposure to natural gas. > >Bull or Bear?
