Attorneys spar on whether GOP minimum wage move 'a slap in the face to the people'
Lansing — A Republican maneuver to weaken minimum wage and paid sick leave initiatives was "an insult to our Constitution" and a "slap in the face to the people" who had petitioned to put the measures on the ballot, Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud argued Wednesday before the Michigan Supreme Court.
Republican legislators are asking the state's highest court for an advisory opinion on whether they had constitutional authority to amend the initiatives in last year's lame-duck session to make them more business-friendly. The court's decision could influence likely lawsuits and future legislative action.
"The people who proposed (the minimum wage and paid sick leave initiatives) never anticipated that their power could so easily be evaded through the simple façade of adopt and amend, thereby rendering their voice powerless," Hammoud argued.
Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat who observed from the gallery, joined Hammoud in court briefings that argued the GOP-led Legislature's move was unconstitutional. But justices asked her office to argue both sides of the case as they consider the GOP request for a legal opinion that could shape future litigation.
The state's governing document grants citizens the right to initiate legislation by petition drive and gives the Legislature 40 days to approve measures or let them go to the ballot. But the Constitution is silent on whether lawmakers can adopt and amend an initiative during the same two-year session.
Deputy Solicitor General Eric Restuccia told justices the Michigan Constitution allows lawmakers to amend any law they approve regardless of whether it was initiated by petition drive.
"Do you think the Legislature thwarted the will of the people?" Justice Richard Bernstein, a Democratic nominee, asked Restuccia.
"The unambiguous reading (of the state Constitution) is that the people have placed legislatively enacted laws — initiated by petition or not — on the same plane," he told justices. "They're subject to amendment within the same session."
Restuccia acknowledged the Legislature could use the adopt-and-amend maneuver for "cynical" reasons. But if that is the case, he said, voters would have remedies at the ballot box, including a referendum on the new law or legislative elections.
"If you're concerned, people should 'throw the rascals out,'" Restuccia said.
Making a 'pantomime'?
Justices appeared skeptical of arguments on both sides, repeatedly interrupting attorneys to ask questions and occasionally citing commentary from the constitutional convention that produced the current rules now in dispute.
Justice Stephen Markman, a Republican nominee on the 4-3 conservative court, questioned what would be left of the initiative process if the Legislature is allowed to "go through this pantomime" of adopting but then quickly changing an initiative to "get things done the right way."
"What is the point of it all?" Markman asked.
Lawmakers said they amended the paid sick leave and minimum wage laws to make them more business-friendly after warning the initiatives could cripple industry and force job layoffs, hurting the very people they were supposed to help.
Former Solicitor General John Bursch, representing Republican lawmakers in the case, argued the courts should not consider the intent of the Legislature — only whether they acted within the constraints of the state Constitution.
Bursch warned against an unlikely trial scenario in which every member of the House and Senate would be put on the stand to explain their motivation for an individual vote.
"It's impossible to unscramble the egg once that's happened," he said. "And we don't want jurors to try to decide on that spectrum, 'Is this a little thwart? Was it a lot of thwart? Or was it so much thwart that it's unconstitutional?'"
Speaking hypothetically, Bursch said the Legislature may have been working to support the will of the people because they realized the initiatives were "too aggressive" and would result in people losing their jobs as companies scaled back or used cheaper technology.
"The amendment is the realization that (the initiatives) could hurt workers," he argued, adding that nothing in the Constitution prevented lawmakers from amending the initiated laws in the same-two year session.
Attorney Sam Bagenstos, representing Democratic lawmakers opposed to the GOP maneuvers, agreed the court should not — and does not have to — consider the Legislature's intent last fall.
The question is, "Does this procedure that was employed by the Legislature provide a ready means of evading or thwarting … the people's reserved power?" he said.
Bagenstos urged justices to consider precedent, arguing that sanctioning the adopt-and-amend practice would give the Legislature the power to "kill any initiative it doesn't like."
"The genie's out of the bottle," he said. "If this court approves of what the Legislature did in the last session, then there's no reason to believe this will be the last time we'll see this."
If Democrats retake control of the Legislature, they could hypothetically thwart conservative initiatives to expand gun rights or charter schools, he said.
Chief Justice Bridget McCormack, a Democratic nominee, appeared to agree on the point. While the case before the court is "hyper-partisan," the process question is a "politically neutral" one, she said.
"The weapon will be available to any party that can control two branches of government, isn't that right?" McCormack asked.
'This feels fraught'
McCormack questioned whether anything could stop a Legislature from adopting and immediately amending an initiative even if lawmakers explicitly stated their goal was to undermine the will of the people.
But she also envisioned plausible scenarios in which the Legislature could make a "friendly" amendment to a law, fixing a drafting error or amending a statute to facilitate its implementation.
"I'm still struggling with, you know, some amendments are thwartish and some are facilitative," McCormack said, voicing concern a court would have to figure out what the Legislature was thinking. "This feels fraught."
Justice Megan Cavanagh, a Democratic nominee, questioned why voters would go through the petition process if legislators have an "escape hatch" to simply adopt and amend an initiative to "gut" it.
As attorneys debated the motivation of the state's constitutional authors, Bernstein suggested their work was based on the principle that citizens have a belief "in the integrity of government."
"Do you feel that the conduct of your client goes to that mission?" Bernstein asked Bursch, who is representing lawmakers.
"I do believe that the Legislature acts with integrity, and I do think they acted in this case out of what they thought was in the people's best interest," Bursch said. "But what our constitutional founding also makes clear is that the judicial branch is not in a position to make up rules and make up limits that aren't already in the text."
The Michigan Constitution gives the lawmakers 40 days to adopt initiated legislation or allow it to go to the statewide ballot. But it also allows lawmakers to object and propose an alternative, which would be placed on the ballot alongside the initial initiative.
"They could have proposed their own, but guess what? It still has to be tested at the ballot box," Hammoud said. Allowing adopt-and-amend "would create a permanent escape route for the Legislature, for the people to never get their voice through initiative power onto a ballot," she said.
Lawmakers are elected to represent the people's voice in Lansing, Markman noted. The state Constitution gives voters the power of initiative, he said, but it also provides a mechanism to elect legislators with the power to determine policies.
"What happened in this process is that they evaded any chance to be held accountable by the people by doing it two days after the people could have voted," Hammoud said, noting lawmakers acted during the lame-duck session after some were re-elected and others were preparing to leave office due to term limits.
All options on table
Danielle Atkinson of MI Time to Care, the group that organized the paid sick leave petition drive, watched arguments from the gallery and said she is hoping the Michigan Supreme Court will give guidance to the Legislature on an "issue that really speaks to our democracy."
The Legislature "completely gutted what we had been talking about," she said.
The paid sick leave committee remains active and will consider next steps once the Supreme Court weighs in or declines to do so, Atkinson told reporters after Wednesday's hearing.
If necessary, "we are prepared to put this back on the ballot," she said. "We're leaving everything on the table."
Bursch told reporters he thought oral arguments "went extremely well" from the Legislature's perspective.
"I think what the questions and the answers made clear is that on one side you've got the text of the Constitution, and that is what the Legislature is urging the court to apply," he said. "On the other side, you just have a bunch of policy arguments being made by folks who are dissatisfied with the outcomes."
Hammoud also expressed confidence in her arguments that the move was unconstitutional.
"I think the people's voice hopefully was loud and clear, and I hope the court upholds the public's faith in their Constitution and that their Constitution still has meaning," she said.
The Michigan Supreme Court is not obligated to provide an advisory opinion, and it's not clear when justices might decide the issue.
Attorney Mark Brewer, a former Michigan Democratic Party Chairman now representing the minimum wage and paid sick leave petition groups, urged the court to weigh in and declare the process unconstitutional.
"But if the court also wants to provide us a remedy of putting those proposals on the ballot, that's agreeable as well," he said. "Because that would vindicate the people's rights and put them back in the position they would have been in if the Legislature had not done this unconstitutional act."
Restuccia was the lone voice urging the court to reject the Legislature's request for an advisory opinion, arguing the Constitution only allows for such an opinion before a law is enacted.
The Supreme Court has traditionally held that a request must be made before a law takes effect but has issued roughly two dozen opinions on active laws.
"How has such a fundamental proposition been so overlooked for such a lengthy period of time?" Markman asked.

Tomorrow those of you in London have the chance to make your voice heard by voting in the mayoral and assembly elections. It is vital that you do. We have an opportunity to do something to bring real change to London.
Throughout the campaign it has been clear that huge numbers of Londoners are undecided and unenthusiastic about voting for either Boris Johnson or Ken Livingstone. And the more they have seen and heard Brian Paddick the more they like him and believe he will bring real change. It is only now that election day is upon us that most of those undecided voters will be making up their minds.
The election campaign has been dominated by the negative, backward-looking bickering of two men who think they have a right to run our capital city. Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone have bickered over their records, their personalities and their personal tax arrangements. Neither can contain the personal animosity they feel for the other and that bitterness has cast a long shadow over this election. Londoners deserve better.
Ken Livingstone in particular has run a desperate and divisive campaign and it is clear that Labour supporters are leaving him in droves. Brian Paddick and the London Liberal Democrats have ignored this ridiculous and damaging personal squabbling and presented a positive vision for London.
A fairer London, with realistic fare cuts targeted at those who need them most: a One Hour Bus Ticket; Early Bird discounts for those who get to work by 7.30am; Part-Time season tickets so that those who work part-time get the same discounts that those who work full-time enjoy. A greener London, with electric buses, taxis and vans by 2020. A safer London, with police who listen to the concerns of local people and work with them against the criminals.
Serious solutions to London's biggest problems, such as tackling the housing crisis by building 360,000 new homes, at least half of which will be social housing, or creating a network of Youth Hubs to give young people a positive alternative to gangs. In the words of the Guardian, it is a 'properly liberal, progressive agenda'.
Brian Paddick's policies make him the best candidate for Mayor of London. And he is by far the best qualified of the candidates too. The Mayor of London is now the Police and Crime Commissioner as well, setting the priorities and budget for the Metropolitan Police and holding it to account.
At a time when London is recovering from the worst riots in a century and the Metropolitan Police has been mired in scandals over racism and phone hacking, it has never been more important to have a Mayor who understands the police. As a police officer for 30 years and a former Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Brian Paddick knows London's crime scene and how to beat the criminals inside out.
It was Brian Paddick who was on the front line of the Brixton riots as a 22-year-old sergeant. It was Brian Paddick who reduced crime by focusing his officers on hard drugs and dealing instead of cannabis possession while commander in Lambeth. And it was Brian Paddick who chose to tell the truth about the shooting of the innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes, a decision that ultimately cost him his job.
We all know it's time for real change in London.
In this election the Liberal Democrats have a candidate of the utmost integrity and the policies to make London a fairer, greener and safer city.
With your help we can kick out the old guard at City Hall and bring that change to our great city. Make sure you vote for Brian Paddick and the London Liberal Democrats tomorrow.

The prevalence of hypertension amongst adults age 30 and above in Malaysia in 2011 was at 43.5%.*
In a more recent (2021) study, the figure jumped to 49.4%** High blood pressure does not discriminate between genders and it is a growing concern in Malaysia.
Let's try and understand hypertension a little better..
There are two types of hypertension: primary and secondary. It has been said that there is no single cause for primary hypertension while secondary hypertension always arises as a consequence of another disease. Causes of primary hypertension that are often cited include: family history, high cholesterol, obesity, diet, smoking, stress and excessive salt intake. Conversely, the one very significant cause -magnesium deficiency- is overlooked.[1]
This is how magnesium is involved with maintaining blood pressure levels:
While the de-facto advice often is to reduce salt consumption, this does not address the problem of LACK or DEFICIENCY of magnesium and potassium.
There are notable health professionals such as Dr. James DiNicolantonio who wrote The Salt Fix that can challenge what we believe about salt consumption. The problem is not in how much salt we consume, but what kind of salt, and whether it is balanced with the other minerals and electrolytes.

The Boston Bruins have come to terms on a long-term contract extension with restricted free agent goaltender Tuukka Rask, the team announced Wednesday evening.
The two sides came to terms on an eight-year, $56 million deal that carries an annual average value of $7 million against the salary cap. Rask played out a one-year $3.5 million contract in 2013, according to CapGeek.com.
Rask officially took over the role of starting goaltender for the Bruins in 2013. He fared well in his new position by accumulating a .929 save percentage with a 2.00 goals-against average and five shutouts in 36 regular season appearances. Following the 48-game truncated season, manager Peter Chiarelli stated that Rask's performance in the playoffs would have implications on contract negotiations in the summer.
The 26-year-old goaltender used that occasion to strengthen his argument for a long-term contract with a substantial salary.
Backstopping the Bruins to their second Eastern Conference Championship in three seasons, Rask registered a .940 save percentage with a 1.88 goals-against average and three shutouts in 22 starts in the postseason. Initial reports indicated that Rask was seeking at least a six-year deal worth $39 million. The finalized deal will keep Rask in Boston through the 2020-21 season.
Originally chosen with the No. 21 overall selection in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Rask was acquired via the Andrew Raycroft trade in 2006. In 138 career regular season games, Rask has compiled a .927 save percentage with a 2.15 goals against average and 16 shutouts.

Tooth decay and cavities are the most common teeth problem that most people encounter in their daily life. They usually occur on the occlusal grooves on the molars and premolars as a result of the collection of microbes and food residues in the grooves. Tartar deposits that get accumulated near the gum line or the rear teeth can also lead to the formation of cavities. Lack of proper oral health care, irregular brushing and flossing habits, and dry mouth result in plaque and tartar formation that leads to cavities. Cavities can affect one's entire oral health and also ruin the beauty of the person's smile. If you spot the onset of cavities, the best way to keep them from growing deeper is by restoring them using fillings.
Dental fillings are made from dental-grade ceramic or composite resin and are placed in cavities to restore the teeth' strength, shape, and functionality. Different types of dental fillings are available - gold, porcelain, silver, amalgam, tooth-colored fillings, etc. Metal fillings were the only solution to treat cavities in the past, but now, their use has been limited as they can affect your smile's aesthetics. Now, tooth-colored biocompatible fillings have replaced metal fillings, especially in visible areas of the teeth.
A dental filling process entails removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling that area with a filling substance. After a detailed examination of the tooth by your dentist, the procedure starts with numbing the surrounding area. Once this is achieved, the decayed portion will be removed by the dentist using an air abrasion instrument or laser. The area is cleaned, and debris of bacteria present in it is also removed. The dentist then applies the dental filling to the decayed part to protect it from further damage. The dental filling process can also be helpful for patients who have broken, cracked, or worn down teeth.
Dental fillings should be maintained with proper oral hygiene - with proper brushing and flossing, to make sure that they will last long. With the best care and avoiding unhealthy oral and eating habits, they can last for many years without any trouble. However, any new decay can weaken the existing fillings that will ask for its replacement.

May 11 2017 was a historic date for the car world in general and Porsche in particular. On that day, in fact, the millionth Porsche 911 left the Zuffenhausen factory. A major milestone that crowned the enduring career of a car that is very much a design icon. While there is no doubt that the Porsche 911's styling has been tweaked since it was first launched on the market in 1963, it still has the lines that made it so famous. The car was the brainchild of Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche who, in a hugely farsighted move in 1972, also founded the Porsche Design Studio.
In the intervening four decades, this creative laboratory and hub has produced an incredibly wide array of designs ranging from watches to architecture and boats. "The principle of the way we work is always the same: we have a design attitude which was created by our founder, Mr Porsche," explained Studio F.A. Porsche CEO Roland Heiler. "We try to create things that have an equal relationship between functionality and shape."
An approach in which discipline and design rigor meet and meld with creative genius to produce dazzling and diverse products bearing the inimitable stamp of the studio based in Zell am See in Austria. A case in point is the Dynamiq GTT 115. Unveiled to the world at the last Monaco Yacht Show, this 35-metre megayacht is a vivid embodiment of leading-edge technology, most notably its hybrid propulsion system, and that aforementioned signature design. But this is not the Studio F.A. Porsche's first foray into the nautical world. It hit the headlines back in 1987 with the Porsche Kineo, an 8.5-metre open clothed in strikingly futuristic lines. Technical content and styling aside, however, it also marked the very first time the car design and yachting worlds collided and crossed over.
"There is a close relationship between a boat as a vehicle and a car as a vehicle," continues Heiler. "There are surfaces on the exterior that have similar curvature or similar emotions and shapes to what you find on cars. So you can translate some of the form language from a car to a boat but you have to do it in a very careful way because just taking the car elements and moving them onto a boat doesn't work. That's why I like to say that it's not so much the form language we translate from one product to another, it's the philosophy. It's the way we attack the product, the way we starting thinking about how things work, what would be a logical way of designing this and that, and also what the best solution for the user is at the end of the day."
In this particular instance, boats and cars have plenty in common, starting with the emotional component that is all part and parcel of design. The Dynamiq GTT 115 has cherrypicked certain eye-catching elements from the Porsche Design world. "When it comes to the exterior there are a few elements where you can see the spirit of the car design elements. For example, the overall shape with the front that is kind of a very, very soft nose," says Heiler. "There are also some large opening shapes on the side which remind you of air intakes on some of our more extreme cars like the Carrera GT or 918 Spider."
The flying bridge also subtly references the Targa bar and it is this understated approach that makes the GTT 115's design so successful. "We try to do it in a way that is not obvious," adds Heiler.
"There is a tendency to translate the car directly into the boat but that's exactly what you shouldn't be doing." This is where the term 'design' takes on a central role. Heiler has no doubt about what it means. "My vision of design is pretty much that of our company which is that design is never only shape. Design is not just the aesthetics of a product but about creating the entire product," he says. "Styling is not our thing. Because styling is a superficial approach."
This definition of design extends its scope spectacularly. Aside from a constant interplay between form and function, design thus also embraces all the various phases of the creation of a product. The combination of all these elements in effect results in products which become genuine icons absolutely immune to the passing of time. The Porsche 911 is, of course, the example par excellence. So what is the secret? "It is a mixture of several different influences.
One is tradition. We shouldn't forget that the very, very early cars were done by body engineers – the profession of designer wasn't even there – so there is a certain clean, pure approach with an engineering mind to those very early cars. This was when the DNA was created. Today with this entirely different landscape with car designers and designers involved, it is always important to look back to see where we came from," Heiler says. "I like to say you need to do as little design as possible because the moment you start styling something too much – that's when you become fashionable and lose the timelessness. This has always been a principle not just from the time I was working in the car business but also what we do now: boats, watches, all the other products." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Around Halloween, there's a different meaning when A-listers are asked, "Who are you wearing?"
It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that actors, pop stars, models and pro athletes get into the Halloween spirit: All of them have had to perform while wearing costumes of one kind or another to win over millions of fans. For Halloween, however, it's often a one-night-only engagement — unless they have to appear in costume at several late-October events, but you get the idea.
However, some stars are better at this than others. Maybe it's the dedication to the creative spirit year after year. Maybe it's because they execute wild ideas to perfection. Or maybe they, too, just want candy.
RELATED: Relive 10 of the most awesome Halloweens on TODAY in GIFs
Of course, the TODAY anchors know a little something about next-level Halloween costumes, but we'll limit this rundown to 15 hallowed celebrities who don't work in Studio 1A and on the TODAY Plaza. They're listed in no particular order.
1. Ellen DeGeneres
Whether she's playing Amal and George Clooney at the same time (as she did last year), or channeling her inner Nicki Minaj (as she did in 2013), Ellen DeGeneres may be the TV personality who generates the most Halloween-costume intrigue on an annual basis — other than the TODAY anchors, of course.
2. Channing Tatum
"Pretty sure I terrified all the children at our daughter's Halloween carnival today," reads the caption to this photo posted earlier this month on more than one of Tatum's social-media platforms. "[By the way], I'm pooh bear in case anyone can't tell." Oh, we got it, Channing, thanks. He earns extra candy for a 2013 #ThrowbackThursday post that shows him dressed as a "Where the Wild Things Are" character.
3. Heidi Klum
The supermodel has wowed photographers for years, and not just when she's striking poses in high-fashion magazines or the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, but her ornate costumes through the years may be even more memorable. The "America's Got Talent" judge's bold Halloween looks have included a fly (2014), Cleopatra (2012) and a skinless human body (2011), but her old-woman costume (2013) alone may have won her a lifetime achievement award, about 60 years in advance.
4. Lady Gaga
The easy thing for Lady Gaga to do would be to wear something expensive and avant-garde for a costume-congruent holiday. But in 2013, in typical Gaga style, she surprised her fans. By cutting two eye holes in a white bed sheet or tablecloth and tossing it over her head, she fashioned the same ghost costume you may have worn as a 5-year-old. Touché!
5. Katy Perry
The "Firework" singer routinely embraces intriguing costume concepts. Like that time in 2012 she was Jane Lane, a.k.a. the deadpan BFF of the titular character from MTV's "Daria." And while it wasn't for Halloween, she paid tribute to the legendary Freddie Mercury in 2008 by dressing as the Queen front man for her 24th birthday. But let's face it: She's mainly on this list because of that 2014 Cheeto costume. And not just any Cheeto, but a sad Cheeto who snuggled with a teddy bear and sang Céline Dion's "All By Myself" to her Instagram followers. Awww.
6. Jessica Alba
The actress gets points for both creativity and versatility, as she knows how to pull off a clever costume both solo (as Dora the Explorer in 2009) and with her family (as the Incredibles in 2012).
7. Beyoncé
The 20-time Grammy-winner has rocked some awesome costumes before and after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter. In 2011, a pregnant Beyoncé caused quite a buzz as queen bee, and last year, she dressed as a "Rhythm Nation"-era Janet Jackson — posing with Blue Ivy, who moon-walked into our hearts as Michael Jackson.
8 and 9. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
NPH, Burtka and their kids are well on their way to being inducted into the Family Halloween Costume Concept Hall of Fame, assuming that exists. In 2013, they dressed up as four "Alice in Wonderland" characters, with the dads as Tweedledum and Tweedledee and their kids, Harper and Grace, as Alice and the White Rabbit, respectively. They may have upped the ante the following year, when they impressed as an Happy%20Halloween%20from%20Gotham%20City!!%20pic.twitter.com/3gzmG44iEf

Romance has been on my mind a lot recently. Not just thanks to Valentine's Day but also due to several friends of mine wanting to rekindle the romance in their relationships. Spring is coming and the renewed energies remind us about the energy we had in our relationships.
In the discussions about how to rekindle romance, I noticed the same suggestion kept cropping up. 'Go back to basics and remember what made you fall in love to begin with.' That suggestion came up the most (paraphrased a touch but not by much). This was rapidly followed by suggestions to do little romantic gestures. It seems that no matter where you are in a relationship – whether at the beginning with all the hearts and flowers or thirteen years into it – you still have to go back to basics every now and again.
Let's be honest, starting a relationship is frankly hard work. You get caught up in the 'does he/she like me?'; 'how do I impress them?'; 'will they like this or that?'; and the ins and outs of it all are exciting and exhausting at the same time. We put lots of effort into figuring out ways to surprise, delight and enchant our new beau and can spend hours just wondering what to wear to go out with them.
Then, we settle down. We let things go a bit. We eat beans on toast because we are tired from our day and snooze in front of the television rather than chat. We've all done it. I know I have. Then suddenly you realise that you haven't been out with your other half in a long time. You can't remember the last time you gave each other a gift 'just because'. And then what?
That's when romance is key. Romance can revitalise a relationship. It isn't just the chocolates and flowers, it's the smile when they come in the door. The kiss on the cheek before they leave the house. Doing the teeny tiny little things that make them smile just because you can.
Every relationship needs its daily dose of romance. The sudden smile across the room and a feeling of light and joy in response. How do you get your daily dose?

The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act, first authorized in 1984 by the federal government, was reauthorized in 1998, 2006, and 2018.
What is the Perkins Act?
While providing approximately $1.2 billion dollars annually, the Perkins Act does the following:
• Puts a focus on the academic achievement of Career and Technical Education (CTE) students
• Strengthens the connections between secondary and postsecondary education
• Provides state and local authorities with more flexibility over distributing funds and holds local officials accountable with setting and making progress on their CTE goals
The primary purpose of the Perkins Act is to further develop the academic, career, and technical skills of secondary and post-secondary students who choose to enroll in CTE programs. With an emphasis on work-based learning, the Perkins Act is a great program that goes a long way in providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure workplace success after graduation.
The Perkins Act does not replace educational programs; it supplements them. Grant funds from Perkins should be used for the educational programs that are offered with state and local resources. In order to comply with this requirement, school districts must use Perkins funds to provide supplemental services that normally would not have been offered were it not for the Perkins funds. The district cannot divert state and local money away from any CTE activity simply due to the fact that Perkins funds are being allocated.
How Perkins Funds are Allocated
Federal funding to states from the Perkins Act comes in the form of BSGs (Basic State Grants). This is based on the state's population and per capita income. Before they receive the Perkins funding, states must submit a plan to the US Dept. of Education. This plan should describe the CTE programs that will be funded along with how the state will support teachers and other school faculty with the CTE program. The states then allocate 85% of the amount to school districts and post-secondary institutions.
One of the requirements of the Perkins Act is the input of teachers, parents, and students for all phases of the plan. The states are also required to follow performance indicators to meet goals and objectives, including graduation rates for CTE students, in order to make sure the funds are being spent properly.
How Technology Can Help
There is a major opportunity for technology to help satisfy these requirements. Americaneagle.com has developed a software program called StudentLINK to help connect students with their career goals. This software can be a major part of any state plan because it provides the tools that will help students, parents, and teachers effectively communicate, engage, and collaborate.
StudentLINK is an all-in-one student readiness platform that was specifically designed to set students up for post graduate success. It guides school administrators on meeting state requirements for graduation through easy-to-use dashboards where guidance counselors and teachers can see how the students are doing at any point during the school year. Reporting provides meaningful insights to:
• Track individual student progress
• Steer the course selection process
• Influence students to accomplish their individual goals
Students can build their own individualized path to college, trade school, and beyond with StudentLINK. Through interactive assessments and planning tools, they will be able to recognize their existing strengths and skills and how they can translate those attributes into an exciting post graduate career.
Educators, administrators and counselors have the power to measure student goals, manage college preferences, and monitor student progress through a robust backend dashboard. Communicate with ease through mass alerts and one-on-one messaging with students, parents, or guardians. These tools are designed to satisfy state requirements for Student Readiness Programs.
Parents and guardians can stay engaged with secure, separate account access where they can message teachers, monitor their students' academic progress, and stay informed and aligned with the requirements needed to graduate.
StudentLINK easily integrates with existing academic platforms and includes dedicated support and training. Our talented team of technology professionals can get a program up and running quickly for staff and faculty in any school district. As one of the world's leading technology companies, we're proud to offer a program like StudentLINK to help parents and educators track progress and set students up with a foundation for post graduate success.
I urge any interested parties to check out the link on our website and get a demo of this powerful student readiness platform!

In 1995, Alan Huang, Ph.D., co-inventor of the Batcher/Banyan switch at Bell Labs in the 1980s,
made a breakthrough discovery for a new routing architecture. Using elements found within the branch
of mathematics known as Group Theory, Dr. Huang realized that many of the blocking and scaling
problems plaguing the current routing architectures could be eliminated. He also found that this new model was
incredibly more robust in handling outages within the network. He named this innovative architecture
the "Galois Network" in honor of the French mathematician who made important contributions to
Group Theory.
Further refinement of this idea led to the startling and elegant finding that off-the-shelf
standard routers could be used within a Galois Network while implementing the widely used
IP standard. This eliminated the need for specialized hardware and software, making the network extremely affordable and accessible. A simple yet
enormously more powerful routing system, that could handle data, voice, and video, had been created. It also had the
tremendous advantage that it
could be utilized right away.
Thus was born the revolutionary "MetaRouter" concept.
Terabit Corporation was formed soon afterwards with the goal of reshaping the infrastructure
of the Internet. The overall effect of this new technology will be extremely
Currently, the company is working on a research project sponsored by the U.S. Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA). A brief overview of Terabit's effort with DARPA
can be found in the
project synopsis.
Commercial projects based upon MetaRouters are being planned and are expected to be implemented
in the near future.

Nino de Vries is TNW's Social Media Editor. Say hi. Nino de Vries is TNW's Social Media Editor. Say hi.
It's safe to say that CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 is the most highly anticipated game in development right now. The upcoming title from the team behind The Witcher 3 has game aficionados around the globe in its grip, despite not showing even a second of gameplay footage. It's been kept tightly under wraps after the backlash from The Witcher 3's overtly ambitious early showings.
CD Projekt Red is showing a lengthy gameplay demo to the press though. Earlier this summer, journalists at E3 got to see the hour long demonstration, which was available to selected visitors of Gamescom this week. The only difference between the two demos was the option to play as a male character, but surprisingly our room full of stereotypical game writers weren't interested in playing as a dude. It struck me as weird that a game set in 2077 only has the option for two genders. But maybe that's not surprising for a studio that tweets embarrassing jokes about gender politics and then follows it up with a weak non-apology apology.
Give me my sci-fi politics plz
At its core, Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world, first person role-playing game, set in a huge dystopian metropolis called Night City in the 'Free State of California'. You play a character called V, who you can customise a little bit in terms of looks. Not that that really matters in a first person game, but hey it's nice to have options.
Our demo started off halfway through a mission where V and two of her buddies had to save a person from a band of scavengers, who kidnapped said person to harvest her cyber implants. Gameplay-wise it was pretty straight forward, you go into an apartment, take a drug that lets you move around in bullet time, shoot some fools, save the victim, jack a USB cable in her neck to read her vital signs, call the ambulance helicopter, and send her off to the hospital.
The ambulance helicopter introduced an interesting concept; according to the developer it was part of an insurance scheme only available to the ultra rich. Cyberpunk (the genre) goes hand in hand with political commentary, and this was the first reference of that in the game. Unfortunately, it was also one of the only ones. To be fair, we didn't get to see a lot of lore and exposition, but I am slightly worried that Cyberpunk 2077 might not be cyberpunk enough. CD Projekt have stated that the game is going to be 'inherently political'. This is comforting, but it wasn't really showing in the hour long demo I saw.
Freedom is a pretty cool concept
What Cyberpunk 2077 lacks in the social commentary department, it makes up for in gameplay. After the first slightly generic mission we got a good taste of how much freedom the game offers in terms of player agency. Like any other open world RPG you're free to pick whichever quest you want to go on, but Cyberpunk 2077 offers an impressive amount of freedom on top of that. We saw a bunch of tense confrontations that could be solved in non-violent ways by talking your way out of them.
The best example of said freedom came towards the end of the demo. V was on a mission to retrieve an expensive spider drone, only to get held up at gunpoint before reaching the merchant. V struck a deal with her assailant and somehow ended up with a payment chip with enough money to buy the drone on it. The chip however, was infected with a virus.
When V finally makes it to the merchant, she is posed with the option to let the sellers know about the virus. In our demo the player chose not to tell, which caused the chip to send out a static shock disabling a couple of nearby gang members and aggravating the rest. With the gang turning hostile, V's only option was to shoot her way out of the meat factory she was now trapped in, showing us some of the game's more advanced combat mechanics.
The guns in Cyberpunk 2077 are very cool. We saw a handgun with ricocheting bullets, allowing you to shoot around corners. We also saw an SMG equipped with homing bullets, a shotgun that could should through cover, and even a katana with an electro-magnetic shield to block bullets. Every single gun looked badass and amazingly fun to play around with.
We also got a glimpse of the game's stealth options. At one point in the demo the player did a silent takedown on a random thug and then got the option to hack into his brain. This allows you to see his memories so you can get a map with all the nearby enemies on them, which you can then hack as well. This, in turn, lets you disable their guns, resulting in hilarious situations. Don't ask me how this all works – it just does and it's rad.
Choose your own dystopian adventure
The whole quest had me wondering how the player choices affected the outcome mission. What if we shot our way out of the robbery? And what if we told the merchant's the chip was infected? The impact could be minor, there were definitely ways it would've played out similarly with alternative choices, but the implications were fascinating.
Cyberpunk 2077 is still a ways off — the developer hasn't said anything about a release date and it could very well be that we don't see the final product until 2020. I'm curious to see how the whole thing pans out, and sure it will be all good in the gameplay and graphics departments. I just hope the story bits hold up their end of the bargain. And it would be nice if CD Projekt Red could keep the offensive jokes about gender politics to themselves in the meantime.

- Articulation/Phonology Disorders: Difficulties with the way sounds are formed. If your child struggles with this, it is likely others have a hard time understanding them.
- Childhood Apraxia of Speech: These children have difficulty with the motor planning of speech productions. They are highly unintelligible and might appear to try really hard to communicate but they are unable to.
- Receptive/Expressive Language Disorders (vocabulary, comprehension, sentence structures, etc.): If you child struggles with this, they may have difficulties following directions, paying attention to tasks, do not use as many words as other children or have difficulty combining words into sentences.
- Fluency (Stuttering): Your child might have disruption in the flow of speech and repeat syllables, words or phrases resulting in unnatural speech. Parents often describe their child getting "stuck" on words.
- Pragmatic/Social communication: Difficulty understanding the "social" rules of language, such as humor, personal space/boundaries and conversational rules
See below for a brief timeline of when your child should reach certain speech milestones.
- 12 months of age: Your child will speak their first word and should soon after have a 2-6 word vocabulary, beyond "mama" and "dada."
- 18 months: Your child should be speaking approximately 50 words on a regular basis.
- 18-24 months: Your child will begin combining words.
- 24-30 months: Your child should have 200-300 words in their vocabulary by now.

Despite this need to diversify, the bulk of their business was coming from the Oil & Gas industry which was facing historic challenges as the price of oil dropped markedly and stayed low for an extended period.
FORMation worked with Richter10.2 to identify the ideal target public - the exact individuals at specific companies across a diverse range of industries - who were best suited for their offering. Richter then created a comprehensive set of creative assets as well as a precise messaging series designed to engage, enlighten and ultimately sell this ideal public on everything FORMation had to offer.
All assets were prepared and the messaging campaign started precisely on target on day 31. FORMation closed their first client within 60 days, covering their out of pocket investment with the strong likelihood of the contract tripling in size and covering half the cost of the Strategic Relations Service for one year.

The Shops at Atlas Park in Glendale will hold the Cool Design Show, a winter holiday-themed pop-up, from Dec. 6 to Jan. 5.
The holiday show will bring together 15 creators and brands from eight countries who create mostly handmade, Etsy-style items that are usually not available in a brick-and-mortar setting.
"The Cool Design Show is where the visitors can see, touch, feel, smell and even taste the products that usually can't be found in retail stores," read its press release.
The items include interactive pet toys, custom paper bouquets and nordic cotton-made lamps. Kai Yi Chu, the founder of the pop-up, wanted to make sure that the layout of the space would draw people in and create an engaging experience in its own right.
Chu's model creates an opportunity for these independent creators that mostly rely on e-commerce to reach a broader audience in person.
"Supporting creators and brands with your wallet is one way to appreciate but not the only way," he said.

AbstractHere we report a method for visualization of volumetric structural information of live biological samples with no exogenous contrast agents. The process is made possible through a technique that involves generation, synthesis and analysis of three-dimensional (3D) Fourier components of light diffracted by the sample. This leads to the direct recovery of quantitative cellular morphology with no iterative procedures for reduced computational complexity. Combing with the fact that the technique is easily adaptive to any imaging platform and requires minimum sample preparation, our proposed method is particularly promising for observing fast, volumetric and dynamic events previously only accessible through staining methods.

Researchers use Virus's traits to create electricity from motion
Researchers at Berkeley Labs have now coated electrodes with modified M13 bacteriophage, a harmless bacteria-eating virus, to create the first ever organic piezoelectric material which can convert force to electricity.
The researchers also said that the option is a lot environment friendly as the material is non-toxic, organizes naturally into thin layers and self-regenerates, giving it a possible advantage over chemical options.
By attaching thin layers to, for example, shoes one would be able to charge devices on the go, by sending cables up to pockets. Lets hope there isn't an electrical leak, else some privates may get electrocuted.

The Right to Information Act, simply known as RTI, is a revolutionary Act that aims to promote transparency in government institutions in India. The Act came into existence in 2005, after sustained efforts of anti-corruption activists.
It is termed revolutionary because it opens government organisations up for scrutiny. Equipped with knowledge about RTI, a common man can demand any government agency to furnish information. The organisation is bound to provide the information, that too within 30 days, failing which the officer concerned is slapped with a monetary fine.

Way back in July, I wrote here about what was potentially the opening move in the effort to kill the military's ridiculous "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. Well, today MSNBC reported reported:
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - More than 100 retired generals and admirals called Monday for repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays so they can serve openly, according to a statement obtained by The Associated Press. Link
President-Elect Obama has already indicated his support for an end to this policy. Based on the now 15 or so years of Don't ask, don't tell, we now know that nothing terrible will happen if we let gays and lesbians serve openly. And I've said it before, I'll say it again: the military shouldn't get a free pass on discrimination. No other federal employer would be allowed to refuse employment to people based on sexual orientation. It's offensive that the military has been allowed to get away with it as long as they have.
Right now, there are men and women serving in active war zones who can't freely display pictures of their beloveds and who can't talk openly about the true loves they had to leave behind to go serve where their country asked them to. That's shameful and we owe them all our sincerest apologies.
So let's say good-bye to don't ask, don't tell and invoke a new policy: Don't care who you love if you love your country enough to serve.
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Don't ask, don't tell? How about Don't Care!

From MSNBC's Morning Meeting, Dylan Ratigan loses his temper with Debbie Wasserman Schultz when she starts spinning about what a good bill HCR is going to be but doesn't answer his question about why Wall Street is so happy and all the health insurance stocks are going up. Ratigan tweeted that he will apologize for losing his temper but not for "challenging lies and misinformation".
Here's the terrible thing about the administration and Reid allowing this health care bill to be watered down so badly by the ConservaDems in the pocket of the insurance companies. Now you've got someone like Debbie Wasserman Schultz who you know probably doesn't like what's going on any more than most of us do being forced to try to defend this crap sandwich to the likes of Ratigan, and not being able to. She really did not look like she was prepared for this interview at all. I think Ratigan was extremely rude, but I don't disagree with his points.
Wendell Potter followed up on the phone and gave him some plain spoken answers about why the stock market is so happy. Then he let hack KT McFarland follow up and act like Republicans aren't as happy about this as the insurance industry. They get to sit back and play populists and let the Democrats own this mess.
Eli over at FDL has more on this--What's The Matter With Democrats?:
Not only have Obama and the Senate Democrats adopted pro-corporate policies that will hasten their own political demise, but they have allowed the Republicans to keep their hands clean and pretend to oppose legislation that they would have happily championed a few years ago.
Unless Obama and the Democrats pull their heads far enough out of their corporate donors' asses to hear the transpartisan outrage brewing outside the Beltway, the 2010 and 2012 elections will be very very bad for them. They will reap all of the pent-up rage and resentment that was aimed at the Republicans in 2006 and 2008, and we know how that turned out.
Given Rahm's statement to Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, the administration is looking pretty tone deaf these days--Rahm Emanuel: Don't Worry About the Left. Not helpful Rahmbo. We've got Axelrod trying to calm down left wing bloggers one day and Rahm Emanuel telling us to stick it the next. Talk about mixed messages.
