PCC strongly encourages faculty, staff, and students to communicate concerning or problematic behaviors, which may or may not be considered a crisis situation, including:
- Students struggling with life factors significantly impacting their ability to be successful in school.
- Students exhibiting a pattern of disruptive behavior in the class or other college setting.
- Students expressing excessive anger or rage toward other students or college faculty or staff.
- Students making direct or indirect statements expressing intent to harm themselves or others.
What happens next
Phase 1: Case creation
A Concern is Identified and Reported:
The first step in the process of connecting students with support resources is for concerned faculty, staff, students, or community members to notify a retention coordinator about a student's circumstances. This is best done through the use of the Student of Concern/Incident Report Form. If you have questions about whether to complete a form, you may contact the retention coordinator assigned to your campus/center:
- Cascade Campus:
- Nikki Barone - firstname.lastname@example.com 971-722-5445
- Rock Creek Campus, Hillsboro Center, and Willow Creek Center:
- Jeff Lamont - firstname.lastname@example.com 971-722-7636
- Southeast Campus:
- Christina Shafer - email@example.com 971-722-6090
- Sylvania Campus, CLIMB Center, Downtown Center, and Newberg Center:
- Garrett Cimino - firstname.lastname@example.com
A Case is Created:
Your Student of Concern (SOC) form is sent to the retention coordinator who determines whether the student's situation should move forward as a concern or conduct case and gathers additional information to support intervention efforts.
Phase 2: Initial action
The Case is Screened for Immediate Threat to the Safety of the Student and the College Community:
The retention coordinator immediately screens cases involving students in crisis to determine whether or not a student poses a threat to self or to the campus. Resources such as Counseling and Public Safety are brought in as appropriate. After consulting, the coordinator will decide on the best way to support the student. Possible responses include ongoing monitoring, outreach and referral to resources, immediate attention, or referral to a team of supportive professionals (Behavioral Intervention Team) to discuss how to best support the student and take action to ensure campus safety.
The Coordinator Will Reply to Your Student of Concern (SOC) Submission:
You will receive an email from the coordinator to thank you for your information. In the email, the coordinator may ask you for clarification or for additional information. You also will be reminded that all community college staff members are mandatory reporters who must report knowledge of possible child abuse to law enforcement or DHS.
It is important to note that we aim to protect student privacy in the SOC process. You will likely not receive updates about the student regarding referral to resources or other outcomes. Be assured, however, that all indicated interventions will be provided to the student and you will be notified of relevant information allowable within federal and college student privacy guidelines.
Phase 3: Intervention planning
Retention Coordinator Action:
The coordinator determines the initial action needed to support a student of concern. Possible interventions include meeting with the student, referring the student to campus or community resources, identifying a single point of contact who will work with the student to provide holistic support, referring the case to the campus Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) for further discussion of support interventions, or closing the case. All decisions and actions are fully documented.
Retention Coordinator Information Research:
To inform an intervention plan, the coordinator contacts relevant campus sources to gather additional information about a student and his/her experiences on campus. Individuals who may be contacted include instructors; academic, program, and financial aid advisors; resource center coordinators; and public safety officers. If you are contacted, you may be asked to share your observations about a student or to provide information about a student's attendance or level of engagement. As additional information about a student is acquired, the SOC coordinator consults with others to assess and update the planned intervention.
Phase 4: BIT meeting
Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) Process, Meeting, and Action:
The Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is a team of supportive professionals who meet at least once a month to review student of concern (SOC) cases and recommend steps to connect students with support resources. Representatives from campus services such as Counseling, Advising, and Public Safety join the retention coordinator in determining the best way to promote the success and well-being of students of concern and the larger PCC community. Before recommending success strategies, the team gathers pertinent information from instructors, resource providers, and others to develop a clear history of a student's experiences at PCC.
BIT members follow nationally recognized standards to assess a student's level of concern and plan interventions for each student accordingly. Commonly, SOC students are referred to campus resources such as Counseling, Advising, and Disability Services. The retention coordinator may meet with a student to offer support with college processes or to clarify a student's responsibilities in the classroom and on campus. When appropriate, the BIT members also recommend actions to address the needs of others in the college community who may be affected by a SOC case. Throughout the BIT process, student privacy is strictly observed and detailed records are maintained.
Phase 5: Case management
The retention coordinator oversees the Students of Concern (SOC) case management process from the time a case is initiated through closure. Case management includes both immediate and ongoing interventions, follow-up, and monitoring. The SOC case management process requires continuous assessment and revision of intervention plans, communication with Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) members and other stakeholders, and careful recordkeeping.
Phase 6: Closure
Students of Concern (SOC) cases are closed after a student's problem is fully resolved or after measures are solidly in place to promote the student's safety (and the safety of others); general wellbeing, and academic success. Records of closed cases are stored and referenced as needed to support subsequent SOC reports. Minor concerns not requiring SOC action are reviewed when necessary for consideration of possible cumulative concerns. Case records are also used to track the frequency of concerns on each campus and to note behavior trends.
When should I call Public Safety instead?
You should call Public Safety's urgent line at 971-722-4444 if the incident has reached a level of crisis. If you are ever unsure, call the non-urgent line at 971-722-4902.

David Wilson and Andre Brown have been listed as the New York Giants starting running backs, according to their first unofficial depth chart.
Also unofficially, David Wilson and Andre Brown are both starting RBs. David Diehl is at RT. Wilson is also at KR and Rueben Randle at PR.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoNYDN) August 1, 2013
I believe both Wilson and Brown should share the load this season. Both players have a lot to offer in their own way. Wilson is a home run hitter and Brown is back that can get the Giants the tough yards.

The Telegraph's suspicious story about Rahm quitting WH
Updates below: WH denies, Rahm calls "BS," Spillius responds
A new item in the conservative London Telegraph, published today, has a catchy headline: "Rahm Emanuel expected to quit White House." The supposed news, that he'll be out in "six to eight months," has already made its way onto a number of US news sites and blogs, including the New York Daily News, and I'm sure it'll be a topic of chatter Monday.
Don't read much into it.
Firstly, the two sources it relies on are anonymous, neither of them White House or even purported to know Emanuel. Second, it's not even clear which of the "Washington insiders" it quotes — "a leading Democratic consultant" and "[a]n official from the Bill Clinton era" — who made the 6-8 months claim and beyond that, nothing that can be verified and that couldn't just be made up.
In fact, they don't even make any assertions, just guesses. "I would bet he will go after the midterms," is the money quote from an unknown DC consultant who may or may not know anything about Emanuel's plans.
Secondly, the Telegraph is a right-wing paper that has published allegedly unsubstantiated stories about the Obama administration in the past. Take for example this one, written in March by Alex Spillius — the same author of today's Rahm story — which boldly announced, "Barack Obama threatens to withdraw support from wavering Democrats."
That one didn't even purport to have sources — named or anonymous — it simply made the assertion, out of nowhere, that Obama was blackmailing Democrats and threatening to strip his support for them in the November elections to get their votes on the health care bill.
A White House spokesman told me at the time the story was bogus, and Robert Gibbs said as much in a briefing later.
Point is, read this new article with some skepticism, especially since it's common knowledge that Rahm won't be chief of staff for the whole Obama presidency (does anybody keep that high-pressure job throughout?), and since the article features little more than anonymous sources speculating on the topic (again, the only detail isn't even attributed anonymously and the reporter makes no claim that any of the sources are even familiar with Rahm's plans).
Update: Sure enough, the White House tells Fox News Monday morning that the story is "ludicrous" and "not worth looking into." Chalk it up to an agenda-setting attempt by a conservative paper that has long disliked the Obama administration.
Update II: "This is B.S.," says Rahm in a statement. "And if you need it for translation, it is baseless." Not only that, Lynn Sweet (a trustworthy reporter) adds that Rahm might be staying longer than expected. In other words, the Telegraph didn't just get the story wrong, it got it entirely backwards. I've e-mailed Alex Spillius for a response, and told him I'll print it in full.
Update III: Spillius responds to my e-mail with this:
There's no 'right-wing agenda' here, as you so confidently surmise. That's absurd. The story just reflects the perennial interest in Washington movers and shakers. If you had read comment pieces I've written you'd see I've no interest in pushing any side's agenda.
I'm absolutely confident in the sources, and there were more than those I quoted.
Everyone I spoke to said they expected Emanuel to go after the mid-terms. Sally Quinn was writing something similar a few months ago.
I'd also point you to a sentence in your piece:
'…it's common knowledge that Rahm won't be chief of staff for the whole Obama presidency (does anybody keep that job throughout?)' In this case there is much more at issue than burnout. And Andrew Card did five years, by the way.
One main reason I reached out to Spillius was because I was curious if he actually talked to someone familiar with Rahm's plans. He didn't claim to in the article or in this e-mail, which makes his story seem — to me, at least — like a resuscitation of old conventional wisdom presented as a scoop on something imminent. You can decide for yourself what's going on here.

Turnstone has hooked me up with one of their really cool Campfire paper tables to give away to one of you! Oh and how about we toss in a beautiful print by my buddy Chuck Anderson too! Who wants 'em?
This is the third video we produced for MTV and Sony Xperia, and it features Little Scream! Nada and I are huuuge fans of hers so this really was a dream come true to have her be a part of this project.
In keeping with the unconventional instruments theme, we paired up Little Scream with sound designers Lo and Joseph and circuit benders from Toronto's InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Center! Together they completely reinvented her song "Canons". Albert Huh did a superb job capturing this performance. He's been filming and editing all the videos in this series, and deserves a massive shout out!
Hopefully this video pumps you up to spend the weekend building your own instruments! You still have a week or so to get your submissions in, and remember we're giving away Sony Xperia phones and Booooooom goodies as prizes!
If you wanna get involved jump over here.
You can see the full gallery of submissions here.
"Contact mics inside the broom head amplify the sounds of the bristles playing over the log. The bristles act like a needle on a record player, or keys on a music box. The song is determined by the density of texture on the surface of the rotating log."
See her other instruments below!
Last week our Facebook Page hit 100,000! If it's alright with you I'd like to celebrate this milestone with a whole bunch of giveaways! Thanks for hanging around on Booooooom every day, thanks for getting involved in the projects, and thanks for sending me all your friendly tweets and emails!
Huge thank you to everyone who made these giveaways possible: Herschel, Virb, Chronicle Books, HelloVon, and Furni.
Here's what's up for grabs:
2 Little America Back Packs (Washed Red) courtesy of Herschel.

The response to the giveaways has been insane lately! The two recent ones had more than 1,000 comments each!? I'm not gonna lie it's been getting a little bit tough for me to go through so many entries every time, so I'm gonna try out a widget that should help me out!

Enough dilly-dallying, I have a 16 GB iPad 2 to giveaway. Who wants it?

I actually have two prize packs to give away so there will be two winners, who wants 'em?

Foil Packs: Your Answer to No-Mess, No-Guilt Grillingby Sara Levine in Grilling, Healthy Recipes, June 9, 2015
Do you love to cook but hate to clean? Then summer is your season. One of the many perks to grilling is the minimal cleanup it involves. Sure, you might whip up a marinade in the kitchen and have to rinse a bowl, but grilling rarely involves scrubbing multiple pots and pans. For even less of a mess, grab a roll of aluminum foil and grill — and even serve! — your meal in foil packs.
Check out these unexpected dishes to grill in foil and witness how versatile this cooking method can be. It's not just for small vegetables and delicate fish anymore — we're talking spaghetti, French toast and meatloaf. These genius foil packs will work for your next camping expedition, quick weeknight dinner or backyard barbecue, and low calorie counts are just another bonus. Read more

Forza Motorsport 4 April Alpinestars 10 Car Pack Racing in Next Week
Written Tuesday, March 27, 2012 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Sick to death of the thousands of cars in Forza Motorsport 4? Don't despair, as Turn 10 and Microsoft have got another ten on the cards as upcoming DLC, with the April Alpinestars Car Pack. There's all sorts of high-performance rides, as you'd expect, including precision-tuned German race cars, rotary engine beasts, and American late-50s classics. Here's the list:
- 2011 Mercedes-Benz #35 Black Falcon SLS AMG GT3 – Featuring a replica livery of a race-winning Mercedes from 40 years prior, the Black Falcon SLS AMG GT3 is itself no stranger to excellent track performance. The SLS's distinctive gullwing doors are a welcome nod to classic Mercedes style, and the car's deep carbon fiber splitter and low roofline keep it firmly planted in the present. With the GT3, Mercedes is poised for more racing success ahead.
- 2011 Aston Martin #009 Aston Martin Racing AMR One – Engineered to take advantage of the FIA's emergency efficiency-focused regulations, the Aston Martin AMR One employs an in-line, 2-liter, 6-cylinder turbo that produces upwards of 540 hp.
- 2012 Jaguar XKR-S – The XKR-S is Jaguar's first full production car to be a member of the elite 300 kmh (186 mph) club. It's a strong road performer with a powerful engine and adaptive damping and stability control to keep the car stuck to the road. In all, the XKR-S is a potent mix of power, precision, and typical Jaguar beauty.
- 1995 BMW M5 – BMW's M5 line has always represented a full-bodied combination of power and luxury and nowhere is that more evident than in the 1995 M5. The quick-revving, 3.8 liter, 24-valve straight-6 engine delivers north of 300 hp and the 6-speed transmission was one of the few available in the mid-1990s. One drive is all you'll need to understand why so many BMW fans wish to lead the pack in this 4-door luxury sedan.
- 2011 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S – The Quattroporte Sport GT S is the automotive equivalent of an Italian opera. The Ferrari-built engine provides a concert of throaty rumblings whose volume and tone can be controlled via a valve-controlled exhaust. But this car can do more than produce an aria of exhaust notes; the Sport GT S is adept in the corners and no slouch on the straightaways too.
- 1985 Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE – Innovation and affordability combine with this mid-80s rotary masterpiece from Mazda. The GSL-SE introduced the legendary 13B engine, the largest, most powerful RX-7 engine ever developed at the time. Combine that with a light frame and perfect weight distribution and you've got a serious performer on your hands.
- 1972 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 – A beautifully appointed luxury saloon, the 300 SEL 6.3 also features a big single overhead cam, pushing the car from 0-60 in just 6.5 seconds and making it the fastest sedan in the world at the time.
- 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible - Named after the sophisticated French resort town patronised by the likes of Napoleon and Queen Victoria, the Biarritz convertible defined elegance and grace in the late automotive world of the 1950s. It also had at least one very famous owner: "The King" Elvis Presley, whose "Pink Cadillac" has inspired numerous songs and movies.
- 1997 Volvo 850 R – While the terms "sports" and "wagon" rarely come together, they fit nicely when describing the 850 R. It's the perfect ride for hauling the kids, the dogs, and some groceries around, but it also sports a turbo-powered 5-cylinder engine that tops out north of 150 mph. You might not need all that power on your trip to the local hardware store but, in Forza 4, it will serve you well.
- 2012 Scion tC - Functional, sporty, safe, and well-equipped, sum up the 2012 Scion tC. For 2012, the body received a much more chiseled look and, as with all Scion's, the list of dealer options is very long.
The Forza Motorsport 4 April Alpinestars Car Pack will be heading to the Xbox Live Marketplace on April 3rd for 560 Microsoft Points or you can download it as part of the Forza 4 Season Pass for 2400 Microsoft Points.

Eat, Pray, Love "presents the memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure, guidance, experience and wholeness."
There have been some wonderful books with the theme of self-discovery through travel, as in Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Their journeys have been life changing for them and perhaps also for the reader.
If you liked Eat, Pray, Love, then you may also like these titles:
Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape by Barry Lopez.
This classic won the 1986 National Book Award. This book is based on a number of extended trips the author made into the Arctic region. His descriptions of the flora and fauna not only evoke the northern landscape, but give a true sense of the Arctic's importance to the health of our planet. More than twenty years after its publication this book has an even more important message for us.
Blue Latitudes by Tony Horwitz
A wild and fun travel narrative focusing on Horwitz's adventures sailing on a recreation of Captain's Cook's ship. Like Eat, Pray, Love it is well written and a lot of fun to read.

Lucy Knisley's graphic novel Relish: My Life in the Kitchen zigzags between biography, cookbook, travelogue, and manifesto of all things culinary. What's more, her fun, vibrantly colorful artwork often made me very hungry. This is the mark of success for such a book.
Relish explores every aspect of food's vast appeal, whether it is for purposes of comfort, nourishment, or to just satisfy that insatiable craving for sautéed mushrooms.
Fido's Virginia—a play on the Fodor's travel series— tackles the subject of what to do with your four-legged friend when vacationing in the Old Dominion. Rather than leave Tess or Jack in a boarding kennel at home, you can have her or him with you. You just need to do some planning and have realistic expectations. Ginger Warder's book gives guidance on what are dog-friendly places to go and things to do in Virginia's different regions.
Australia—a land of kangaroos, koala bears, 12-foot earthworms, killer seashells, and Prime Ministers who disappear in the surf—provides a rich adventure for those who are not afraid to possibly encounter some of the world's deadliest creatures and forbidding terrain.

I'm pretty certain I must have been an explorer—famous or otherwise—in a past life. Reading the globe-trotting adventures of others can entertain me for hours as I practically salivate over the descriptions of the sights, the culture, the food…you name it; hence my interest in Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven. Author Susan Jane Gilman details her story of what started as the trip of a lifetime for two recent college graduates, until something went terribly wrong.

Controlling mosquitos is challenging to say the least. You may even think you are fighting a never-ending battle. With mosquito-borne diseases like the Zika virus becoming more prevalent, it's even more important to know how to take control of these pests around your home environment. Learning to do a few simple things could help protect you from more than the itchiness of a mosquito bite.
Weekend Gardener
Once again we enjoyed sweet potatoes all winter long from a fantastic harvest last fall. I planted out about 25 organic slips purchased from Country Corner Greenhouse in Shepherdsville in late May and by early November we had 4 nursery crates full of one of nature's perfect foods! 7 months and counting in storage with no spoilage is impressive. We are down to about a dozen sweet potatoes; just in time for a transition to other summer vegetables.
OWENTON – The recently formed Owen County High School Alumni Association will host its first annual Alumni Reunion Banquet on Saturday, June 11, Mike Haines, the association's president, announced.

Epoch Fellowship Church will be hosting a Take a Stand event on Wednesday, May 25 for students from fifth-12th grade.
The Take a Stand Initiative was created to encourage students to stand up against addictions and substance abuse, as well as advocate awareness to students and the community as a whole about a growing problem in Northern Kentucky. The events are designed to promote having a good time with friends without the influence of addictive substances.
Owen Electric Manager of Communications
In its continued commitment to provide members with safe, reliable and affordable energy, Owen Electric Cooperative has partnered with Harshaw Trane to construct a 2 MW (megawatt) natural gas generation facility.
Excavators broke ground in March, preparing the foundation of the new facility set by crane Tuesday morning. The unit consists of a single, enclosed Caterpillar Model G3516H natural gas-fueled, 1988 kW generator; it is located adjacent to the headquarters building.
With summer rapidly approaching, farm work is under way in earnest and that often means moving equipment along Kentucky's roadways. Collisions on public roadways involving farm machinery take place each year especially during the busy spring planting and fall harvest times. Thus, people driving farm machinery and motor vehicles need to be especially careful and watchful in the days ahead.

The best way to convert a lawn into a garden does not employ a shovel or a sod cutter and will save wear and tear on back muscles. Sheet mulching—a simple technique that involves layering cardboard, compost, and other organic material right over the turf—kills the grass and leaves behind beds with rich soil. A considerable amount of organic debris goes into the bed construction, so stockpile plenty of autumn leaves, composted manure, and garden waste before beginning. Beds that are sheet-mulched in the fall will be ready to plant the following spring.
|Step 1
Use spray paint or powdered lime to mark the perimeter of the new bed. Scalp the grass within the outline with a lawn mower.
|Step 2
Spread a 2-inch layer of compost or composted manure over the bed. This helps encourage microbial activity in the soil and speeds decomposition. Moisten the compost well.
|Step 3
Cover the compost with overlapping pieces of cardboard to smother the underlying vegetation and prevent light from reaching any weed seeds. Soak the cardboard with water.
|Step 4
Spread a 2-inch layer of compost over the cardboard and top it with up to 18 inches of mixed organic material (grass clippings, leaves, straw, seaweed, garden debris, farmyard maure).
|Step 5
Include vegetable and fruit scraps and coffee grounds from the kitchen in the layers of organic matter. Moisten these layers.
|Step 6
For vegetable beds, finish with 2 to 3 inches of straw or compost. Top ornamental beds with 4 inches of wood chips. In arid climates, water the bed occasionally. Soil microbes and earthworms will toil through the winter to decompose the organic material, cardboard, and sod.

The Protection of Commercial Interests Under the European Convention on Human Rights
It is a particular pleasure to have been invited to contribute on this topic in honour of Professor Roy Goode. Roy Goode's standing in his chosen field of commercial law is deservedly outstanding. His contributions to scholarship, particularly his book on commercial law, are magisterial. He has made very significant public service contributions in particular to the Committees on consumer credit and pensions. He has also shown remarkable dedication to the universities that he has served over the years. As a junior colleague at Queen Mary College nearly 20 years ago, I well recall how he conceived of a privately-funded centre of excellence in commercial law when such a proposal was a pioneering innovation. With characteristic drive, charm and insistence, Roy Goode brought that Centre into being very successfully. In addition to all these achievements, throughout he has been a fine teacher and research supervisor, held in high regard by those who had the good fortune to pass through his hands. He is also a thoroughly pleasant colleague.
Probably less generally known is Roy Goode's deep commitment to the protection of human rights and organizations which promote justice and tolerance. Again, characteristically Roy's commitment has been translated into practical and lasting contributions. Recently, for example, he was the motivating force behind the successful fund-raising appeal for the organization 'Justice', which he has served as Chairman of its Executive Committee.
It is therefore a pleasure and a privilege to contribute on a topic which brings together the themes of commercial law and the international protection of fundamental rights in honour of such a remarkable and admirable person.
The essay which follows examines the protection of commercial interests under the European Convention of Human Rights ('the Convention'). It begins by outlining the principles underlying the Convention and then examines provisions of the Convention which have been applied in the protection of commercial interests. The final section contains some concluding observations.

Whatever your take on Aaron Sorkin's three-and-done HBO Newsroom, one can only imagine what the fictional ACN's take on the current election cycle would have been. Imagine no further, as Jeff Daniels brings the Will McAvoy rant out of retirement for a meta-look at the clash between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
