In the executive summary of the Transition Plan crafted by the Transition Planning Commission, FY2014 Fiscal View, they first note a $57 million deficit between the income and the outgo for FY2014. Then they get into the details:
• "Independent of the merger the district is projected to face a deficit of $71M in FY2014."
• "The merger increased the deficit by $72M with the TPC recommending an additional $14M in investments in educational priorities, leaving the merged district with a starting gap of $157M in FY2014."
• "The TPC has identified $100M in net efficiencies to close a significant portion of the gap, leaving a $57M deficit that must be addressed in order to balance the budget in FY2014. This gap is projected to widen by $15M in FY2015 and an additional $37M in FY2016…"
To sum it all up, there is actually a $157M deficit for Shelby County Schools for 2014, not $57M. The $100M in "net efficiencies" noted in the report includes outsourcing custodial services, closing underutilized schools, and other cost-saving actions sure to be completely unpalatable to all the politicians on the SCS board. They will be hard pressed to vote to put janitors out of work and to close neighborhood schools. So when the $57M deficit is trotted out as the starting point for the financial discussion, rest assured that it will likely be at least double that amount. And don't forget it increases by $37M in FY2016.
Next in the report is how the TPC thinks the lowballed $57M gap should be addressed: "vigorously pursue additional City and local sources of funds", "seek additional funding from the State", "set a $15M target for additional district efficiencies", and "request increased local funding from the County."
Do they mean pursue additional funds from the City that refuses to pay them the $58M it owes from 2009? That city? Or request increased funding from the county that just turned down a sales tax increase to help fund schools? That county?
Let's wrap this all up in a nice neat package: Shelby County Schools faces a $157 million deficit to begin the first year of consolidation. That deficit climbs to $194M two years out. I do not believe the board has the political will for painful spending cuts, and the city and county have made their positions quite clear regarding additional funds for schools. So unless the state decides to ante up big time for big Shelby and do it on an annual basis (hahahahahaha), SCS is in a world of hurt financially.
So, Otis, the school board already has to act on ALL the TPC recommendations to get the deficit down to $57 million. If they don't outsource custodial, it climbs to $85 million. If the don't close the underutilized schools, it climbs to $105 million. And on and on it goes.
I would have expected someone who so confidently opines on the schools situation and the massive benefits of consolidation, and has made his support of consolidation quite clear, to get his facts right.

Cleopatra Classic Heated Lounge Chair
Filed under: Decor, Gadgets, Spas
This sounds just heavenly: the Cleopatra Classic Heated Lounge Chair. Cut from a single piece of high-density limestone, the entire chair emanates radiant heat for the ultimate "warmth therapy" experience. Ergonomically designed for comfort (yes, a large slab of stone can be comfortable), it can be used indoors or out and is easily cleaned just by wiping it down with a cloth. It also comes in a variety of colors, although I like the plain and natural stone pictured -- looks very "spa-like." $14,650

Judith Cornille survived breast cancer. The lumpectomy. The radiation. The utter shock.
But even as she recovered from treatment, her mind was on the future: Now what?
"Everyone was telling me to get on with my life, but I was still reeling emotionally," recalled Cornille. "This wasn't what I had planned."
Cornille, 65, was lucky. She enrolled in the new Breast Cancer Survivorship Clinic at the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, a 3-month-old program that supplements routine care provided by a breast oncologist with a multi-disciplinary approach to managing the long-term effects of cancer and the side effects of treatment. The program offers nutritional counseling, physical rehab and fitness training, psychiatric counseling and integrated medicine, including acupuncture, yoga and Tai chi.
"It's like a GPS after treatment," Cornille said. "It helps me to know what I should expect and what I can do to feel better. It does a lot for the psyche."
The Breast Cancer Survivorship Clinic is part of a growing movement within the healthcare system to help survivors adjust to their new life, post cancer. As more of them lead longer, healthier lives, hospitals are reorganizing their services by offering a one-stop shop that gathers together various disciplines.
"We're moving toward a collaborative model," said Dr. Beatriz Currier, who heads up the psychiatric part of the clinic. "We are all tackling the symptom from our different expertise and a major asset is that everything is centralized."
For years, breast cancer patients were released with little guidance on how to deal with post-treatment issues, everything from depression to weight gain to sleep problems and sexual dysfunction. But that is changing as more patients of all cancers survive.
There are almost 14 million cancer survivors in the United States and that number is projected to increase by 31 percent, to almost 18 million, by 2022, according to the National Cancer Institute. The medical community has realized such encouraging numbers demand follow-up guidelines to ease the lives — and the worries — of these former patients.
That's why the influential Institute of Medicine issued a report in 2005 recommending that all patients, after completing treatment, receive a survivorship care plan (SCP), a blueprint that helps a survivor steer her way through the maze that is post-treatment life. A care plan includes both a record of care the patient has received and a follow-up plan about psychosocial effects of treatment, prevention of new cancers and surveillance of recurrent cancers, among other things.
The American College of Surgeons considers these survivorship plans such an important part of post-treatment cancer care that in 2011 its Commission on Cancer announced that it would require all of its accredited facilities — where about 70 percent of new cancer patients are treated — to provide these plans to all patients by 2015.
Because breast cancer survivors comprise the largest percentage of survivors, 22 percent, it was a natural step for local hospitals to begin implementing SCPs with them. "They have a spectrum of issues but they are also more open, more motivated to deal with them," Currier added..

This is a symptom of a very serious water problem we are having that we will continue to have off and on until something is finally done about it. Many would propose conservation but with rising populations and the fact it would be incredibly difficult and unpopular to ration water I propose another idea.
Here are some facts. Texas sits on the gulf. There are currently many unemployed people looking for work. We have a government that is addicted to spending. We have the technology to desalinate ocean water. We have a major water problem. What I would propose we do is utilize the money our government is constantly spending to finance a project to bring water to West Texas and later beyond. Build desalinization plants on the Gulf Coast and then build pipelines to transport the desalinated water deep inland, perhaps to the north/northwest of Texas, later into New Mexico and so on. The water could be pumped into reservoirs, rivers, irrigation systems, and canals from which it could be taken to irrigate our dry soil preventing many of the affects of drought. If we need more water simply build bigger pipelines and reservoirs.
Obviously such a project would be expensive, but the long term benefits would outweigh any short term negatives. Drought can and will kill the Southwest and agriculture. We have a growing population that needs food and water and on both sides of this country we have to for our purposes inexhaustible resources to supply that water without tapping into dwindling freshwater reserves. We could make the Southwest green and fertile instead of a barren desert. Desalination technology is not as advanced as it could be though such a major project would most likely inspire massive advances in the technology. A use would have to be found for the resulting salt though I'm sure some entrepreneurs could find a profitable purpose for it.
Such a project has more possibly benefits than negatives. We're already spending the money, we have the labor force, and we're already experiencing the negatives resulting from our drought. Instead of praying for rain let's take some action to fix this major problem we're facing.

His Mother´s mugshot makes her statement understandable. Wonder how he got into church at all.
Exploited???He has the intelligence to know filth when he sees it, MOTHER !That was no RANT, it was an honest statement of fact. What was extraordinary was his willingness to speak the truth.AND the inability of the mother to see an extraordinary young man to be proud of.
He´s 19 years old and is a legal adult. He´s been on the show, what? Ten years? I wonder--at $350,000 per episode--just who is exploiting whom?As I mentioned the other day, his comments may make it tough come contract re-negotiation. Could someone be worried about losing a meal ticket?
From my limited personal exposure through some friends when I lived in CA ... Seventh Day Adventists appear to be a perfectly normal Protestant denomination. She sent her son to an Adventist school.Nothing unusual about them at all.
The Seventh Day Adventists are a Christian denomination with some eccentric beliefs and practices (as opposed to the Jehovah´s Witnesses and the Mormons who are psuedo-Christian rather than actually Christian). The most interesting thing about the Seventh Day Adventists is that they started out as a psuedo-Christian cult, but the Spirit of God transformed them into what they are today.
Yeah...she fears a loss of payola for herself, I´m sure.
What the church does or doesn´t do isn´t the issue. The issue is: look at the show. Is it idiotic filth that degenerates the minds of viewers, or is it not?Where people are particularly stupid is that it took the child star telling them so for them to realize it.
As opposed to being exploited by Hollywood´s perverts?Sounds like a step up to me...
Hopefully Angus has control of his money and is saving it wisely because I doubt he´ll ever see a penny from when his parents controlled it. Poor guy pulled a short straw on parents - I hope he finds peace and guidance and lives a better life than his family.P.S. The show is, and always has been, filth.
Good for you, Angus.That show IS vile.
Should be good for a modest boost in the number of viewers.
She´d have preferred he stayed on the Charlie Sheen path? Someone´s been exploiting this kid, that´s for sure.
We knew, didn´t we L.dotters, that the reporters would be dashing out there to FIND somebody to try and discount this young man´s words. Right...always a good one, blame his church!!!
"Extraordinary religious rant" Yeah! Thanks mom! And your fear? Losing the $350k per episode? It won´t slake your thirst in the everlasting fire. Oh, but that "fire" mentioned by another ranter 2000 years ago is nothing to fear when you have ratings.
Hell hath no fury like a woman who sees her meal ticket drying up and blowing away. Angus´ mom only cares about the income he generates.
"Oh brudder! There goes my bread and butter!"Bugs Bunny
"Rant" is the tabloid Daily Mail writers´ language.
Hopefully he has been saving some of the $350K he has been receiving per episode. His prospects as an adult actor are pretty slim, and not because of his religion.You could spend hours listing all of the successful child actors who became broke adult drug addicts or worse. You can count on one hand all of the successful child actors who became successful adult anythings.
I´ve never seen this show and never intend to, but he says it´s filth, but he has no problem acting in it for $350K/episode? OK, whatever.
Good for him. I guess the secularists would rather he become a drug addict.
He started on the show as a child. He´s an adult now and it seems a discerning one. I bet there´s a book in there somewhere. I watched a few episodes before I came to the same conclusion he has. And I wondered how much he understood as a boy in some of those episodes.
The kid´s more credible in his Christian witness than Hillary.
This kid saw a whole lot more filth going on behind the scenes, when all we saw was what got televised.It should come as no surprise that he eventually got his fill and rejected it.
He is on that show as a small child, with Charlie Sheen for a long time. The show is not appropriate for children to watch, let alone star on. These are his wishes, let him leave the show and return his millions/donate it to charity
Pretty harsh, #20. He´s only now 19? So he took awhile--he wasn´t that aware as a 12 year old? That´s your gripe? I´m guessing he´s under contract. You suggesting he pull a Sheen, violate his contract and get into a bitter legal fight? Or that he honor his commitment like a man, then decide what to do when he´s a free agent again.He´s biting the hand that feeds him in the name of Christ. I find it hard to mock that.
There are Christians working in Hollywood. That amazes me.
We may be seeing the Spirit working in an amazing way in his life. He needs our prayers as a new believer.
He is in our prayers.Courage, young man. Philippians 4:12-13 Christ will BE your strength as He gives you Wisdom.
That "kid" is worth $20 to $30 million and he is hardly is in the show!
He is right the shows pure trash.
RE: #26 - I wasn´t intending to be harsh; I truly don´t understand the paradox. And actors leave shows all the time. He obviously had no choice when he was a child (I don´t guess if he had a stage mother or whatever), but he does now. Contract or no, he could walk.
He would not have been able to perform - to enter into a contract - without his parents´ permission. At least one of them undoubtedly signed him up when he was 9 years old (if he is 19 now - with actors you are never sure). In California he has only been an "adult" for one year.He is obviously reaching his adulthood now, which for him includes seeking and finding a religion that is comfortable for him and living a life that feels right.How anyone can criticize a child for having performed for years and then seeing the light as he reaches legal adulthood is beyond me. (That fool Shep Smith questioned his veracity because he stayed on the show. That tells us a lot.)One could make a fair assumption that, based upon the fact that programs of this kind - like movies - are not shot in one continuous filming, he was most often unaware of the other parts of the programs (in which he was not involved or which involved the more prurient behaviors by the adult cast members. Laws are such that I have a hunch he was protected. I believe actors who are minors must have a guardian on the set at all times.Whether he ever saw the programs when he was a child, we just don´t know.We have no knowledge of whether he ever told his parents before this that he wanted to not be on this program.Now he knows. Now he understands. That is enough for me.
A minor must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times when performing. They are members of SAG-AFTRA (the union of which Ronald Reagan was president) and a union member must also be on the set to make sure that the parent has access to their child.Their wages are protected by the Coogan Act. Fifteen percent of their wages belong to the child alone, held in trust. If any of this set-aside is used by their parents, it is considered stealing. (At $350K per performance, Angus was indeed a cash cow for his parents!)http://www.sagaftra.org/content/coogan-lawRegarding appropriateness of the venue, that is up to the parents.10. Parents should consider the impact of mature or emotionally difficult dialogue or actions on their child's well being. Only the parent knows what their child can tolerate and therefore MUST ensure their well-being.http://www.sagaftra.org/content/safety-tips
(cont´d)And the SAG-AFTRA site cautions children that they should only perform if they want to.
I find it "interesting" that the article ends with a rogues´ gallery of criminal relatives of this young man - a sort of guilt by association. Wonder if this postlude would have been tacked on had Angus "ranted" that he had become, say, a practicing homosexual. Something tells me "not".
I have mixed feelings about this. Why say this at this time if he has been going to church for years ? Did he tithe to the church ? His smom and the church will both miss that money.What Hollyweird will hire him after this ? Let´s hope he has plan B in place. Best of luck to him.
His mom and dad both seem like pieces of work. They´ve probably been exploiting him for his income for years.

Well, the logical side of me is telling me that this meeting will be very much like the other three -- so there is no real point in going. I don't even know why she didn't discard me in the first place -- surely there are plenty of better candidates at her uni?
You should make that decision based on what you know about her not based on something unreal.
Or alternatively I could just not go...
Do not worry, you will just Kung Fu him like they do in the movies.
That's nice to know...
A sledgehammer? Don't be ridiculous, he would probably have a really large knife.
Yep, those are her favourite.I just hope there isn't anything crazy going on at her house or anything. Like her boyfriend waiting for me with a sledgehammer.
I would say bring some cookies. Does she like chocolate chip?I am going to make a sandwich be back later.
I told her I'll bring cookies because I know she really likes those. The second I brought those things out she buried her head in my chest. I'd be stupid not to bring them!
Sorry, that is what I meant. That should be okay. Are you expected to bring anything?
No, her place for the next meeting, then my place for the one after that.
So you are obviously set on your place for this meeting?
I don't know... I think if things progress at her place from last time, then our next meeting will be at my place. Where we'll definitely be alone...
If you want that for sure then your place is the best chance.
Yes, probably, although once she was out when I came. But usually she leaves me and adriana alone together.I don't really like it when there are other people about. I just want it to be the two of us.

The tally now sits at six and whos to say theres not more to come.
Terra Nova Rural Park has its sixth award, this time it was the Innovation Award from the World Leisure Organization.
The city has received six major awards since 2007 for the innovative park, including provincial, national and international honours.
This is a tremendous honour for Richmond and the community partners who work with us in Terra Nova Rural Park as it recognizes what a special place that, together, we have created in Terra Nova Rural Park, said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
Terra Nova is more than just a park; its a community gathering place where history and nature come together with modern-day programs that ensure our city continues to be a great place to live now and in the future.
Founded in 1952, the World Leisure Organization is a world-wide, non-governmental association of persons and organizations dedicated to discovering and fostering those conditions best permitting leisure to serve as a force for human growth, development and well-being.
Richmond was honoured along other local governments and organizations from all over the globe, which have found innovative ways to engage their communities in healthy and meaningful leisure activities.
Some of the community partners active in Terra Nova Rural Park include the Richmond Sharing Farm, the Terra Nova Schoolyard Society, the Richmond Food Security Society, the Richmond Nature Park Society and the Kwantlen Farm School.
The city is continuing restoration of a number of heritage facilities within the park.

Dr. Thorndyke will receive the award at the AMWA's 97th Annual Meeting, April 13-15, in Miami.
In her role at UMMS, Thorndyke has led programs in faculty development, mentoring, leadership and advancement of women, and faculty competencies. She has extensive experience in educational planning, program implementation and facilitating initiatives in professional development and mentoring, women's leadership development, equity and diversity. She established a junior faculty development program that has become a recognized model for faculty development, mentoring and program evaluation. In her current role, she is responsible for all matters related to faculty, including professional and leadership development, academic affairs (promotion and tenure), recruitment/retention/satisfaction and diversity/gender and equity issues.
Prior to joining UMMS, she was associate dean for professional development at the Penn State College of Medicine, and also served as assistant dean of continuing medical education, responsible for post-graduate educational programming for physicians, nurses and allied health personnel. A graduate of Duke University and the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, she is a board-certified internist and geriatrician. Her clinical interests lie in the areas of menopausal health, osteoporosis and geriatrics. Following residency training, she launched her career by establishing a community-based, primary care medical practice in Philadelphia that has continued for more than 25 years.
"Luanne Thorndyke embodies the spirit of Elizabeth Blackwell, and AMWA is happy to acknowledge her major contributions. Countless young women physicians may have been positively influenced by her in her various roles—from her private practice in Philadelphia as a young physician to her present position as a recognized national leader," said AMWA Awards Committee Chair Nancy R. Church, MD.
Thorndyke will present a talk at the meeting, "Take Charge of your Career! Mentoring and Other Tools for Your Professional Development Toolbox." The Elizabeth Blackwell Award will be presented to her during the 97th Anniversary Gala, featuring keynote speaker Gloria Steinem.
Also at the gala, alumna Pamela Lipsett, MD, MHPE, professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, will receive the AMWA's 212 Woman in Science Award, which is presented to a woman physician who has made exceptional contributions to medical science, especially in women's health, through her basic and/or clinical research, publications and leadership in her field.

Concrete and steel are the materials of choice when building buildings and vehicles that will protect soldiers from enemy fire. But a group of Norwegian researchers are testing another option: lightweight aluminum panels that can be filled with densely packed dirt, gravel, sand or any other nearby substance to provide protection without adding a lot of weight to a military's vehicles or structures, according to a recent report in the Norwegian research magazine Gemini. The aluminum panels are designed to fit together and any substance used to fill the cavity could be emptied out of the bottom of the panel before it is moved.
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology's SIMLab (Structural Impact Laboratory) also searching for a substance that can absorb the pressure exerted on the underside of a tank by a landmine explosion without adding a lot of weight to the vehicle. One proposed option is developing plates made from aluminum foam, which could absorb the impact of a bullet or piece of shrapnel and keep it from shredding the soldier on the other side of the armor. Such foam, basically a porous version of aluminum, is being developed by a number of companies, including Alcoa, Inc. in Alcoa Center, Pa., and Toronto's Cymat Technologies Ltd. and would be nonflammable and recyclable.
SIMLab researchers, working with the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA), a branch of the Norwegian Defense Ministry responsible for the Norwegian camps and compounds involved in international operations, say they have tested the aluminum panels in a full-scale explosion that was equivalent to four tons of TNT detonated from 394 feet (120 meters) away. The target of that explosion, a container protected by aluminum panels received just minor damage, Gemini reports.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhen I was a soldier in Vietnam with a mechanized infantry unit, the 2/8th Inf., 4th Inf. Div., U.S. Army, we would put up metal fences around the front of our APC's, armoured personnel carriers, when we were in a stationary position. The same would both partially absorb the initial impace of, RPG's (rocket propelled grenades) or other missles, and cause the same to explode before making contact with the armour of the APC. The same was extremely effective in that role but did not, of course, give any protection to the sides nor the bottom of the vehicle which the technology mentioned in this article might do.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe photo shown is not a very good example of what the article talks about and what the plating is supposed to do. In the photo the projectile passes through the metal in a straight line where there would be very little added protection such as sand or dirt. In my opinion what is shown in the picture is a waste of time. Not worth the money or the effort!
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI can imagine that the displayed panel could be filled and emptied if it is used as a vertical structure. I do not see how this can be used as a horizontal structure for the bottom of an armoured vehicle and still be emptied.
I also do not see how it can protect against landmines if the structure is emptied whenever the vehicle is moved (which is implied in the story).

If I could triangulate it with this GM Take It Home event, I would get the 2007 Tahoe rental and try it out. However, they probably have rules against going out of state and taking a long road trip, blah, blah, blah.
Otherwise, we'll take the Trailblazer and load it up with the kiddo, the wife and me. About a 8 hour trip with stops, most on I-20.
02-05-2007, 03:21 PM #4Sounds like an easy trip for ether truck, I think you would enjoy doing the trip with the new one better, but like you said, there may be a mileage limit.
Have fun.

Decisions, decisions.........what do you do?

That looks a great deal On the standard SanDisk obviously, thanks for sharing this I might buy me one aha.
To be fair the xbox branded one is overpriced but i bet that it performs better than the 16 dollar one. I got a cheap 8 gig a wile ago for work use and it don't work on the xbox because of fault tolerance or error count or something like that yet the drive tests fine on pc.
Most flash drives are cheap its about 1gb to £1 ratio in the UK maybe you end up paying like £1 more. They treat us like idiots i mean seriously all their propitiatory gear is overpriced, everything!
its quite likely to be the exact same drive. they trap people exactly as they got you right there - its more expensive, so it MUST be better... right? and then they let you talk yourself into it, instead of lying on the box and doing it for you. (its how mac advertisements work )
Are you kidding? My PLAY.COM branded 8GB USB pendrive works great with the 360. I can even install a game on it and run it smoothly from it
Question: Doesn't the 360 have a HDD? What purpose does the USB drive have? File transfers to the hdd I'm guessing? OT: Sorry but does an xbox play MKV? (would google but while I'm here....)
Yeah, they come in 20GB, 60GB, 120GB and 250GB flavours . Using a USB pendrive as a storage device is handy if you want to use your gamertag on a friends console and data transfer (but tbh, I use a data migration kit lol) The 360 doesnt support MKV Im afraid. But it does support XvidHD
that's what fanboys do , defend their decision over the system they are so happy with. Especally when they pay premiums for cheap stuff. 250 GB MS HDD costs 300$ 1000 GB HDD WD Caviar black for PC i bought costed like 92€ = 116$
Yep, shame on the retailers for ripping off the consumer and shame on the consumer for being an idiot in the first place
I don't have an xbox 360, but I'm wondering if the official expensive xbox version is "required" due to some DRM lock-in?
Nope. All you get extra with the expensive XBOX branded stick is nice casing. Its a total con. Im usng a generic PLAY.COM branded 8GB flash drive and it works perfect. I created an account on it, installed Halo Reach to it and completed the game, so I think thats a good enough test lol
Hm sounds like somebody's doing some fishy work there *cough cough* I definitely did NOT do that. And even if i DID do that, I would ONLY do it if I had already preordered and paid for the game. ... I mean after all technically i already own it, so what would be the problem downloading and burning it for a little pre-release action right? Point is though, I definitely did NOT do something so terrible and illegal.
its a perk of having friends that work in certain video game retailers But yeah, youve paid for it already, so whats the harm PS: what did you think of it? I thought it was good, but not as good as Halo 3
Well, obviously, one should pay for the fancy branding and have the colour-coordinated xbox & stick for that kitchy fashion statement no? Any phool nose that! lol
thats why, i don't buy X-box 360 and buy ps3 instead, because i can't stand with their propriety Hdd bs (its just ordinary HDD in ENCLOSURE)
programmers are supposed to think that people are the silliest. this helps design super user-friendly stuff.
Yeah, but you can use certain model 2.5" drives with the 360. And this is about USB drives and you can use any USB drive you want. Anyone who buys the Xbox branded one is an idiot. And they come with hard-drives anyway, not to mention 250GB is overkill.
250GB is not overkill. The DLC and game installations soon mount up. Im forever having to delete stuff off my 120GB. I dont like how youve edited my original post to make it look like Im a twat and Im considering purchasing a branded USB drive! I was just showing others the bullshit retailers try to pull. Quote: "bla bla , yapity yapity. bla bla... " Who do you think you are?

I'm a little jaded.
I was actually feeling pretty good today about my workplace. As a limited time benefit, we get to leave early on Fridays for the rest of the month—at 2:30 p.m. Plus, I'm wearing a T-shirt and jeans today. All in all, it's a good day to be at work.
But then I read an article that's curbed my enthusiasm. That's because Google makes the rest of our workplaces look like a joke.
Aside from scoring high on the pay scale (the average tech employee in Silicon Valley makes more than $100,000 a year, per Dice Holdings research), the Google campus is like one big playground: There's swimming pools, bikes and ball pits (yes, like McDonald's).
My real jealousy lies in this list: Employees get free gourmet food—that's three full meals and unlimited snacks—arguably one of the best perks ever, especially with an appetite like mine. They get free onsite haircuts (if you all could see how I'm looking today, then you know I'd benefit) and onsite doctors.
Their maternity and paternity benefits are also outstanding: New dads enjoy six weeks of paid leave while moms can take 18 weeks after the birth of a child.
And, according to a Forbes interview with Chief People Officer Laszlo Bock, the company's perks even extend into the afterlife. Formally implemented in 2011—but just now publicly announced—if a Google employee dies while employed for the search engine powerhouse, their surviving spouse or domestic partner will receive 50 percent of their salary every year for 10 years. Oh, and there's no tenure requirement.
Additionally, surviving spouses will see all stocks vested immediately and any children will receive a $1,000 monthly payment from the company until they reach the age of 19 (or 23 if the child is a full-time student).
Yes, it is Google we're talking about, a company far from being cash-strapped. But it's an example of the link between benefits and employee satisfaction—and general happiness—at its best.
It's been proven—and not far from the realm of plain common sense—that the better the perks, the higher employee retention and the better the employee performance. An office full of overworked and grumpy workers don't exactly say, "Come work for us! We'll pay you peanuts and make you pay for coffee!"
If health care reform goes as planned, staying at a job purely because of offered health insurance won't be needed like it was. Sadly, for many companies, the benefits stop there.
I do know that these ridiculous Google benefits are a bit of an outlier and beyond my reach, so I'll keep a positive attitude about the whole leaving early thing.
But then again, I've got a lot of work to complete before the weekend begins so it's unlikely I'm leaving very early today. Good thing I've got coffee at my office to keep me energized—only 50 cents a cup…
I suppose there's no harm in googling "Google jobs." You know, just in case.

I feel like this has some really deep meaning. I see it as two people can be close and it can allow for something beautiful, but as soon as they get to know each other too well it becomes ugly. Because if you knew every thought in someones head, the bad might out weigh the good. And you could never undo what you have learned about them. The spots on the butterfly's wings are human eyes which have seen the truth but have no way of revealing it, or warning you not to get closer and protect the butterfly. The butterfly is their beautifully balanced relationship threatened by the knowing/seeing of too much, or closeness. The people symbolize anyone.

Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
We've had a nice variety of waves here with some good size for the last couple days! It's starting to relax a bit today, but there's still some large sets here and there. The size seems to fluctuate a bit. It can be small for a while and then will pick back up, then mello out again and so on.
Other than surfing we've been hiking up waterfalls (and jumping off 35′!), scuba diving and exploring a bit. Will post more pics later, but for now, here's some surf photos:

Yet the mail does go through, despite rain and snow and dark of night and all that.
Isn't it about time junk mail stopped being subsidized with special rates? What with the Austerity Bomb (AKA Fiscal Cliff) about to go off, why should this survive?

As part of the U.S. government's "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," be aware that the IRS will be changing federal withholding on many employees' paychecks, beginning with the April 30 paycheck. For your convenience, SCC's Payroll Services Department has developed a guide on the Making Work Pay Tax Credit. Some employees may need to make adjustments to their federal tax withholding amounts by submitting a new Form W-4: Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate to avoid any surprises when filing future tax returns.
The new parking lot for students at our Altamonte Springs Campus will officially open for use on Monday, April 13. With the opening of this new lot, some "No Parking" signs and yellow curbs have been placed throughout the existing parking lots, primarily at the paved ends of each row of parking.
With the new lot opening and the posted no parking designations, the Altamonte Springs Police Department is beginning to enforce regulations by issuing tickets. Also, there have been a number of accidents in the last several months in which illegally parked cars have been hit by other cars trying to pull out of legitimate parking spaces, causing damage to both cars. By enforcing the no parking zones, the Altamonte Springs Campus' parking lots should be safer and more accessible for emergency vehicles.
The eight SCC faculty and staff members who have retired since last April's Retiree Celebration will be honored from 3:30 - 4 p.m. on Friday, April 24, in the SCC Theatre, followed by a reception, from 4 - 4:30 p.m., in the Fine Arts lobby. This year's retirees include Diana Dillon, Sharon Fear, Curtis Hague, Marilyn Hawkins, Minnie Johnson, Joan Melco, Mary Taylor and Richard Young.
SCC student Trishelle Copeland-Johnson has been named the top honors student in Florida and will be recognized in Phoenix, Az., at the American Association of Community Colleges Convention, where she will be named both a New Century Scholar and a member of the USA Today First Academic Team. Be sure to get the April 6 issue of USA Today because Trishelle will be featured, along with the other 49 top community college students in the nation.
Trishelle is the first SCC student to receive this award. Congratulations to Trishelle and to all of the SCC faculty and staff members who have helped her.
SCC will implement a new method for disbursing financial aid refunds to students, beginning with the Summer 2009 refund distributions in May. From now on, students can choose to have their financial aid refunds delivered electronically to an "SCC OneCard" debit card, which can then be used at special ATM locations on SCC sites. All students who are enrolled during the Spring 2009 term, who were issued a financial aid refund, will be mailed one of these cards in April with instructions on how to activate and use it. Student questions on the new SCC OneCard or financial aid refunds should be directed to SCC's Financial Aid Department.

Book a 30-minute appointment with a librarian who will help refine and focus research inquiries, identify useful online and print sources, and develop search strategies for humanities and social sciences topics (examples of research topics).
Schedule, view, edit or cancel your appointment online (CalNetID required)
This service is for Cal undergraduates only. Graduate students and faculty should contact the library liaison to their department or program for specialized reference consultations.
What is Peer Review?
Your instructor may want you to use "peer reviewed" articles as sources for your paper. Or you may be asked to find "academic," "scholarly," or "refereed" articles. What do these terms mean?
Let's start with the terms academic and scholarly, which are synonyms. An academic or scholarly journal is one intended for a specialized or expert audience. Journals like this exist in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Examples include Nature, Journal of Sociology, and Journal of American Studies. Scholarly/academic journals exist to help scholars communicate their latest research and ideas to each other; they are written "by experts for experts."
Most scholarly/academic journals are peer reviewed; another synonym for peer reviewed is refereed. Before an article is published in a peer-reviewed journal, it's evaluated for quality and significance by several specialists in the same field, who are "peers" of the author. The article may go through several revisions before it finally reaches publication.
Magazines like Time or Scientific American, newspapers, (most) books, government documents, and websites are not peer-reviewed, though they may be thoroughly edited and fact-checked. Articles in scholarly journals (in printed format or online) usually ARE peer-reviewed.
How can you tell if an article is both scholarly and peer-reviewed?

Schubert: The Complete Songs
40CDs Boxed set + book (at a special price)
Schubert: The Hyperion Schubert Edition, Vol. 35
Archive Service; also available on CDS44201/40
Die Wallfahrt was probably not considered by Schubert to be worth preserving. All the other Rückert songs (Lachen und Weinen, Du bist die Ruh, Greisengesang, Dass sie hier gewesen!, Sei mir gegrüsst only the last of these not to be heard on this disc) have love as their raison dêtre. Mention of the temple of Beauty hints at a futile love-related pilgrimage, but the sombre mood of the words does not seem truly to have inspired the composer. If it had, this song might have turned into a Schubertian equivalent of Schumanns Aus den hebräischen Gesänge, a resemblance suggested by the songs lachrymose opening bars. But the poem is a short one, and thus also the song; this is no fragment, and its effect is limited by the brevity of its text. The simplicity on the page might well have been reworked into a more sophisticated form (like the first version of Greisengesang, initially without any of its enlivening coloratura) if Schubert had been bothered. What we have is more like a sketch for bass voice, simple and noble, though hardly memorable. It must be admitted that the composer, with very few notes at his disposal (the accompaniment remains confined to semibreves and minims until the crotchets and quavers of the songs closing bars) somehow conjures a middle-eastern atmosphere in this music, as if appropriate to intone from a minaret.
The poets mention of the Kabah (the very sacred small temple of stone at the centre of the Great Mosque in Mecca and the goal of all Islamic pilgrims) is typical of Rückerts oriental learning, although the fanciful image of a Kaaba der Schönheit would not appeal to a devout Muslim. Schubert, attracted to medieval imagery involving the crusades, is a dab hand at pilgrimages, and often manages a tone of holy consecration. We can see the beginning of something of the like here; but a song like the Leitner setting Der Kreuzzug from 1827 is a fully realised (and western) version of a similar idea.

Hungarian State Opera House
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013) |
Address | Andrássy Ave 22. |
Location | Budapest, Hungary |
Coordinates | 47°30′10.11″N 19°3′29.48″E / 47.5028083°N 19.0581889°E |
Type | Theatre |
Built | 1875 |
Opened | 1884 |
Capacity | 1200 |
Website | Opera.hu |
The Hungarian State Opera House (Hungarian: Magyar Állami Operaház) is a neo-Renaissance opera house located in central Budapest, on Andrássy út. It is home to the Budapest Opera Ball, a society event dating back to 1886. Before the closure of "Népszínház" in Budapest, it was the second largest opera building in Budapest. Today it is the largest Opera building in Budapest and Hungary.
Designed by Miklós Ybl, a major figure of 19th century Hungarian architecture, the construction lasted from 1875 to 1884 and was funded by the city of Budapest and by Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary. The Hungarian Royal Opera House (as it was known then) opened to the public on the September 27, 1884.
Many important artists were guests here including Gustav Mahler the composer who was director in Budapest from 1887 to 1891 and Otto Klemperer who was music director for three years from 1947 to 1950.
In the 1970s the state of the building prompted the Hungarian State to order a major renovation which eventually began in 1980 and lasted till 1984. The reopening was held exactly 100 years after the original opening, on the September 27, 1984.
It is a richly-decorated building and is considered one of the architect's masterpieces. It was built in neo-Renaissance style, with elements of Baroque. Ornamentation includes paintings and sculptures by leading figures of Hungarian art including Bertalan Székely, Mór Than and Károly Lotz. Although in size and capacity it is not among the greatest, in beauty and the quality of acoustics the Budapest Opera House is considered to be amongst the finest opera houses in the world.
The auditorium holds 1261 seats. It is horseshoe shaped and – according to measurements done in the 1970s by a group of international engineers – has the third best acoustics in Europe after La Scala in Milan and the Palais Garnier in Paris. Although many opera houses have been built since, the Budapest Opera House is still among the best in terms of the acoustics.
In front of the building are statues of Ferenc Erkel and Franz Liszt. Liszt is the best known Hungarian composer. Erkel composed the Hungarian national anthem, and was the first music director of the Opera House; he was also founder of the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra.
Each year the season lasts from September to the end of June and besides opera performances the Opera House is home to the Hungarian National Ballet.
The secondary building of the Hungarian State Opera is Erkel theatre. It is a much larger building that also hosts opera and ballet performances during the opera season.
There are guided tours in the building in six languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Hungarian) almost every day.
Facade: The decoration of the symmetrical façade follows a musical theme. In niches on either side of the main entrance there are figures of two of Hungary's most prominent composers, Ferenc Erkel and Franz Liszt. Both were sculpted by Alajos Stróbl.
Murals: The vaulted ceiling of the foyer is covered in magnificent murals by Bertalan Székely and Mór Than. They depict the nine Muses.
Foyer: The foyer, with its marble columns, gilded vaulted ceiling, murals and chandeliers, gives the State Opera House a feeling of opulence and grandeur.
Main Entrance: Wrought-iron lamps illuminate the wide stone staircase and the main entrance.
Main Staircase: Going to the opera was a great social occasion in the 19th century. A vast, sweeping staircase was an important element of the opera house as it allowed ladies to show off their new gowns.
Chandelier: The mail hall is decorated with a bronze chandelier the weighs 3050 kg! It illuminates a magnificent fresco by Károly Lotz, of the Greek gods on Olympus.
Central Stage: This proscenium arch stage employed the most modern technology of the time. It featured a revolving stage and metal hydraulic machinery.
Royal Box: The royal box is located centrally in the three-storey circle. It is decorated with sculptures symbolizing the four operatic voices - soprano, alto, tenor and bass.[1]
