Howard council approves sale of county-owned property

The Howard County Council on Monday voted to give County Executive Allan Kittleman permission to sell a property at a prominent corner along Route 1, which had been targeted for redevelopment under former County Executive Ken Ulman.
Kittleman first requested the council's approval six months ago to put the Hurst property, at the corner of Route 1 and Whiskey Bottom Road in North Laurel, on the market, but a resolution wasn't introduced until July. Councilmembers said at the time they wanted to wait until the fiscal year 2016 budget had passed before they turned their attention to the potential sale.
At its monthly voting session Oct. 5, the council voted unanimously to dispose of the property, a 1.92 acre parcel at 9770 and 9790 Washington Blvd., with the caveat that Kittleman must issue an analysis explaining how any proposed redevelopment on the site would benefit the community and contribute to revitalization along the Route 1 corridor.
Council considers four zoning regulation amendments
Among the legislation that the Howard County Council is considering before it breaks for an August recess are four potential changes to the county's zoning code.
Councilmembers also stipulated that a community group made up of at least three local residents must be established to evaluate any redevelopment proposals the county receives for the property.
Councilwoman Jen Terrasa, a Democrat who represents the southeast county, sponsored the amendment that requires the analysis and community group evaluation. She said the Hurst site is located on "a really important corner from my district's perspective.
"I was concerned that if we sold the property just to the highest bidder, that would not be to the benefit of the community."
The Ulman administration purchased the Hurst property, a former antiques store located next to the Beechcrest mobile home park, for just under $1.9 million in December 2014. This summer, county Finance Director Stan Milesky said the purchase was made through an "inappropriate use" of tax-exempt bonds.
"The information has been shared with me... that we didn't intend to hold this property" for county use, Milesky told the council at a June work session.
Terrasa, who says she was involved in discussions leading up to the purchase, said Monday "the idea was that we would try to assemble the properties on that corner and make something much greater out of it.
"This should be a gateway into the community," she said.
Councilman Greg Fox, a Fulton Republican, expressed concern that Terrasa's amendment could slow the process of selling off the site. He noted that purchase offers are based on current market rates and usually have an expiration date.
"I don't want this to be held for a long period of time," he said.
Fox proposed two amendments of his own – one that would require the community group to evaluate redevelopment proposals within 60 days and a second that asks the group to consider price when making its recommendation to the executive.
"If we have proposals that come in above what we pay for and proposals that come in below, I think we need to look at that from an economic standpoint, as well," he said. "I don't think we should be disregarding or having a much lower value for the price. I just don't think that's fiscally responsible."
Councilmembers voted to approve the 60-day time period, but voted down Fox's second amendment focused on price.
Council Chairwoman Mary Kay Sigaty said Kittleman would still have the final say on a sale, and could take cost to the county into account when making a decision.
"Nothing in here requires the county executive to act on [the community group's] recommendation," she noted.
With Monday's vote, the council has released three of the four properties Kittleman requested to sell off in April. Councilmembers have already voted to dispose of the former Maryland Environmental Services building in Jessup and the Bickley property, an Ellicott City house that flooded during Tropical Storm Lee. Permission to sell the old Columbia Flier building, which has been pegged by Columbia master developer Howard Hughes as a potential site for affordable housing development, is still on the table.
Kittleman wants county to sell Flier building, other properties
Howard County Executive Allan Kittleman is hoping to sell off several county properties, including the former Columbia Flier building on Little Patuxent Parkway, to raise some extra money for the school system's budget next fiscal year.
Zoning tweaks
The council also voted unanimously Monday to approve two bills that tweak Howard County zoning code at the request of local business owners.
The first expands the Limited Outdoor Social Assemblies conditional use category to allow existing farm structures to be used during events.
The change was requested by Robert Walker and F. Maxine Walker, the owners of Harwood Farm LLC in Woodbine, which is used as a wedding and events venue.
Once the subject of a divisive battle among neighbors for the right to host events, the farm got nothing but support at a September public hearing on the Walkers' latest request.
Attorney Alex Adams said permission to hold events in the barn would help contain noise and keep visual disruptions – such as tents and port-a-potties – to a minimum.
The second zoning change reduces the lot size for home-based contracting businesses in the R-20 district, within certain conditions, at the request of North Laurel contractors Jonathan and Sonya Miller.
The Millers have operated their business out of their home on Shady Acres Lane, south of Route 216, for more than two decades but were recently cited by the county's Department of Planning and Zoning for violating zoning code because their property does not have conditional use approval.
To help bring the business into compliance, the council approved a reduction of the lot size and setbacks necessary for a conditional use approval.
Councilmembers also approved an amendment sponsored by Sigaty, which minimizes the impact of the zoning change. Under Sigaty's amendment, home-based contractors on R-20 land must abut an intermediate arterial highway, like Route 216, among other requirements.

Sigaty said only six other R-20 properties would become eligible for a home-based contractor conditional use with the change; of those, only two are not slated for other development. She called the bill "a solution that doesn't open the door for lots of properties and recognizes that" the Millers are already operating their business.

Cutts JC, Powell R, Agius PA, Beeson JG, Simpson JA, Fowkes FJ. Immunological markers of vivax exposure and immunity: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. BMC Medicine, 2014; 12:150. doi: 10.1186/s12916-014-0150-1.
Identifying Plasmodium vivax antigen-specific antibodies associated with P. vivaxinfection and protective immunity is key to the development of serosurveillance tools and vaccines for malaria. Antibody targets of P. vivax can be identified by seroepidemiological studies of individuals living in P. vivax-endemic areas, and is an important strategy given the limited ability to culture P. vivax in vitro. There have been numerous studies investigating the association between P. vivax antibody responses and P. vivax infection, but there has been no standardization of results to enable comparisons across populations.
We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis of population-based, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies of individuals living in P. vivax-endemic areas. We searched 6 databases and identified 18 studies that met predefined inclusion and quality criteria, and examined the association between antibody responses to P. vivax antigens and P. vivax malaria.
The majority of studies were published in South America (all from Brazil) and the rest from geographically diverse areas in the Asia-Pacific region. Considerable heterogeneity in estimates was observed, but IgG responses to PvCSP, PvMSP-119, PvMSP-9RIRII, and PvAMA1 were associated with increased odds of P. vivax infection in geographically diverse populations. Potential sources of heterogeneity included study design, different transmission intensities and transmigrant populations. Protective associations were observed for antibodies to PvMSP-119, PvMSP-1NT, PvMSP-3α and PvMSP-9NT antigens, but only in single geographical locations.
This systematic review revealed several antigen-specific antibodies that were associated with active infection and protective immunity, which may be useful biomarkers. However, more studies are needed on additional antigens, particularly cohort studies to increase the body of evidence for protective immunity. More studies representing diverse geographical regions encompassing varying P. vivax endemicities are needed to validate the generalizability of the findings and to provide a solid evidence base for the use of P. vivax antigens in vaccines and serosurveillance tools.

Early Japan and the Tang Dynasty in China
The original inhabitants of this small, sunny but cool group of mountainous islands off the coast of China were not the people now known as the Japanese. Recent archaeological evidence indicates occupancy as early as 15000 BCE by an enigmatic race who made pottery and, apparently benefiting from a brief phase of warming during the last ice age, may have been the world's first farming villagers. Then whatever social structure they had achieved appears to have been obliterated by the renewed onset of extreme cold. The broken shards of their pots reveal little else about them, except a hint that they caught and cooked fish. The record next identifies primitive hunter-gatherers who, by perhaps 5000 BCE, had established small farming settlements, and whose simple round- or pointed-bottomed pottery is radiocarbon dated back to around 10000 BCE. During the preceding ice age the Japanese islands, part of a mountain range skirting the Asian mainland coast, were joined to that mainland, allowing free passage to animals and humans.

Obama said he was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, and planned to travel to Oslo to accept the prize, which he said he does not see "as a recognition of my own accomplishments," but rather as a recognition of goals he has set for the United States and the world.
"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize," Obama said.

Report: Joe Maddon To Become Chicago Cubs Manager
by Anna Fogel on Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 5:56PM
The Chicago Cubs reportedly have won the Joe Maddon sweepstakes.
According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, citing sources, Maddon will take over as the Cubs' next manager. The two reportedly were in talks, but an answer wasn't expected to come until Friday, two days after the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals wrapped up Game 7 of the World Series, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
The two sides are on the verge of agreeing on a "mega-deal," Heyman reported, according to people familiar with the situation. Heyman added Maddon's contract is expected to make him one of the highest-paid managers in Major League Baseball, and likely the best paid in the National League.
The Cubs have denied a deal is done, but people "familiar with the dealings" told Heyman the deal will be completed in the coming days.
Maddon exercised an opt-out clause in his contract with the Tampa Bay Rays on Oct. 24 after nine seasons with the ball club. Maddon compiled a 754-705 record while at the helm of the Rays, leading the team to four American League East titles and one World Series appearance.
Current Cubs manager Rick Renteria, who was hired last offseason, had reportedly been informed the team was in discussions with Maddon.
UPDATE (6:30 p.m.): The Windy City might need to postpone its celebrations. Maddon's Chicago-based agent, Alan Nero, told the Chicago Sun-Times that despite the Heyman report, nothing is close to being done.
"It's not a done deal by far," Nero said. "We continue in good faith to discuss this with several teams, including the Cubs. We hope something will be resolved quickly."
The Sun-Times, citing sources, added that negotiations between the Cubs and Maddon turned "serious" Tuesday, and progressed to "back-and-forth" talks Wednesday.

The following is an article by Nicole Ouelette of Breaking Even, Inc. If you enjoy this post, be sure to check out the Breaking Even Blog.
When you start paying attention, it is amazing to find how many conversations rely on television. You only start noticing when you don't have it.
I've only had cable television for two years of the last ten. I am now in a period sans television.
You wouldn't know it talking to me. I follow enough news and celebrity gossip online to know what's going on. I am only sometimes completely out of the loop.
"Why don't you just get cable?" people have asked me.
I've found there are several reasons (some monetary but mostly personal health-related) to not have cable.
I save the money I would pay on a cable bill. The two years I did have cable, it was included in my rent. I find that I can find better ways to spend $60 or more a month. . . like high speed internet.
I save money on electricity to run the television. Sure there is a television that we have to watch movies but not running the television means one less electronic device is running.
I'm not constantly seeing commercials that make me want to buy things. While I can't prove this, I bet people who don't watch commercials buy less.
Television leads to higher incidence of obesity and depression. When I had cable, I was headed towards both as I ended up watching hours of it every day.
I have more time to do other things. I walk the dog, I blog, I read… There are so many things in life that I do that not watching television seems like a very small thing to not do.
I have less negative energy in my life. I don't know if it's less electromagnetic waves or less reality television but I feel like I have less negativity in my life.
All this said, it is clear that I don't have the willpower to turn off my television. If you can watch an hour or two a day and then turn it off, more power to you. If you can watch television and still do what you need and want to do, good for you. I am not disciplined in that way. And I think maybe at least a few other people aren't either.
No matter what, I know that having at least one no television night is doable by everyone. As kids my family had it. We ate dinner and played games usually. It was kind of fun, since we were purposely not turning the television. My mom usually made a special snack. I highly recommend it for anyone. If you live alone, make it the night you have friends over for a potluck dinner. When I lived alone, having my friends over one night a week forced me to socialize initially but after a few weeks, I was looking forward to Wednesday nights and the happiness that only real people can provide.
If you do want to watch less television, 43Folders has some great tips. Actually, I'd recommend anyone who thinks television is too big a part in their lives to skim the article because it's pretty interesting.
So here's to more money in your pocket and a happier life being less controlled by a cathode ray box.
Rising at the break of dawn and doing an honest day's work?
Enjoying a good home-cooked meal and sitting around the fire enjoying the company of your family and good friends?
Spending time reading the Bible instead of watching hours of t.v.?
Going to bed when it gets dark?
Until the 1920's our society was not faced with the temptation of the television. The influence of most television does nothing to improve our lives. We are getting fatter, dumber and lazier. Our marriages suffer, and our relationships with our precious children are rapidly on the decline.
Think of how much the Lord could better use our lives if we would turn off the set, get in tune with ourselves and our families, and discover the many talents that lie within each of us. We are made in the image of God. Why waste all of that on an image that we stare at day in and day out with few results?

Here at Scholars of Shen Zhou, just as is done in most any other moderated internet community, members who continue to violate forum rules despite warnings and explanation from moderators are eventually banned. In general, we operate under a 'three strikes' policy in which offenses expire after three months. If a member does accumulate three warnings, they will usually be issued a temporary ban (lasting two weeks). If problems persist, or if the offense was serious, the ban will be made permanent (they can view the forum, but cannot participate).
We list all such actions here so fellow Scholars know why a friend may have vanished.

Housing White Paper 2017 - The Broken Housing Market - Can we Fix It?
The Housing White Paper, released on 7th February 2017, seeks to reform our "broken housing market" by attempting to tackle failures across the entire housing system. Can the government fix it? In the words of Bob the Builder the White Paper sends out a clear message - "Yes, we can!"
Key areas of focus emerging from the White Paper include building more houses at an increased delivery rate, identifying preferred areas of land and reducing administrative burdens. There is also increased attention on diversifying the housing market to improve accessibility to housing which in turn will future-proof our volatile market.
The government in supporting wider economic prosperity aims to build more homes by ensuring each local authority creates a Local Plan and has a uniform methodology for calculating 'objectively assessed need' for housing. Building more quickly will be possible by creating a clearer planning process and ensuring promised developments are constructed in good time and land is not 'sat on', which in conjunction with using a range of housebuilders and promoting factory built homes will encourage innovation and tackle our housing crisis.
Although the process will not drastically change our housing market for a number of years, steps are now being taken to provide an accessible housing market. We should see greater affordability and removing the barriers to providing many more houses at a rate that matches the demand with our growing population. As our famous animated builder and friends say, working together will get the job done.
Ashfords Planning Team shall continue to follow the Housing White Paper and produce further updates as changes to the housing market develop.


You build muscle, you lose fat. You build muscle, you gain strength, energy, resistance, enthusiam, creativity, ability, longevity, esteem – you hit the jack pot.
Most diets don't work for long term fat loss. They're concerned with reducing weight rather than burning excess bodyfat. They strip off vital muscle, the body's major fat burning component. When you remain at a particular bodyfat level for a long period of time, your body recognizes that as your fat setpoint. Substantial time (patience, discipline and fortitude) is required to lower your fat setpoint as you seek complete and permanent changes.
• With pad and pencil, simply list everything eaten.
• Cut fat and salt intake radically.
• Consider training in the morning – this raises the metabolic rate throughout the day. This means more fat burning and more energy.
• Make sure you get adequate fiber each and every day .
• Drink 1-2 liters of H2O during the day.
• An excellent pre-workout and post-workout meal is a Bomber Blend protein drink. And for ideal and aggressive efforts toward leanness, add the following supplements: 2 SuperSpectrim vitamin/minerals, 2 Amino Ammos & 1 gram Vitamin C.
Permanent changes take time. Test and record your bodyfat level every two months. If you use a scale, weigh only once a week. After an initial drop in weight, plan to lose 1/2 to 1 pound per week steadily – a realistic goal.
• Have your larger meals early in the day, making dinner the lowest calorie meal..
• After reaching your goal, be prepared to continue your diet in order to establish a new fat setpoint.
• Remember, protein is king. To assure consistent intake for muscle adaption and weight control a protein powder should be on your shopping list along with the eggs and apples.
• Always and forever, plan a disciplined low calorie day following any unusually high calorie days. Enjoy an extended workout and the subsequent high blood sugar pump.

Invisible Cultural Challenges in India
15 Sep Invisible Cultural Challenges in India
Posted at 10:00h in Culture, Relocate to India by Rohit Kumar 0 Comments
In comparison to visible cultural challenges in India, Invisible Culture Challenges are the intangible aspects of culture that influence how people behave. These aspects can be more impenetrable as these include the Indian values, beliefs and assumptions that are veiled and to get this feeling or the idea could take years. Though Indian female constitute around 50% of the Indian population, their role in India could be difficult to understand exactly like a few other invisible aspects like Indian legal system, education system, widespread corruption, political scenario, nurturing of children, elderly healthcare amenities, addressing to the problems of the economically backward communities, harmony, hierarchy, history, sports, folklore and mythology. You may not find a single lifetime enough to understand these implicit cultural aspects and managing these aspects is beyond the bounds of possibility.
Managing Culture shock
For decades, India has been recited as an intriguing country with a vibrant culture and awe-inspiring diversity in the stories of the expatriates relocating to India. Experiencing a Cultural Shock in a country like India where every region has its own culture, tradition, languages and style, is pretty natural. For the unprepared and first time visitors to India, the Cultural Shock sets in very quickly.I have had a lady expatriate go into culture shock one day and she cried for hours because she could just not fathom the poverty and the income disparity. It took her days to come to terms with this aspect, even though she was staying in a five-star hotel. The subject of managing cultural shock in India is huge and cannot be covered in one article but I have made a short attempt with some guidelines and inputs and not just how to manage it but even tried to decipher as to why it is like it is here in India.
The Exploding Population
India is considered home to one in every six human beings in the world. The overpopulation in India has been addressed oodles of times but despite every feasible measures and solution, the country is the residence of over a Billion people and stretched to its limits. The overpopulation is directly impacting the national economy which has led to 269 million Below Poverty Line inhabitants. Along with the rapid growth in population at the rate of 2 % per annum, there are certain issues that are integral of the overpopulation like Gender composition is disproportionate, the higher rate of female child mortality, unemployment, poor living standards and malnutrition etc. The insufficiency in employment and salaries, education, food and nutrition, shelter, clean drinking water, sanitation, space and so forth are the major challenges that are visible and needed to be gauged and understood by the expatriate actually visiting India. The acceptance of this irreversible fact should play an important role in the adjustment curve. The brighter side of the scenario today is that even today more than 70 % of Indians live in rural areas. Imagine if there was an even larger rush to get to the larger cities and even then most of the Indian metros have a larger than 15 Million population.
A Basket Case Country?
When we say a Poor India, what we really mean is Poor Indians. India is actually a rich country with a lot of natural resources, but most of the Indians are not. Just a bunch of billionaires are controlling 70% of Indian wealth. There are causes and consequences of this worrisome inequality in the Indian economy. Poverty in India is beyond the monetary differences between the various existing classes. The marginalization, lack of proper education, overgrowth in population, inequality in gender, disproportional wealth distribution after the end of colonial period, economic reforms that are full of flaws and aiding to encourage the continued economic inequality and corruption eroding Indian economy are the top causes of Poverty in India; whereas the pathetic living standards, inadequate medical assistance and poor social security are some of the major consequences of poverty.
India was once the richest country in the world with about 27 % share of the global GDP. This was before the British arrived. By the time the British left India in 1947, about two hundred years later, India's share of the global trade had dropped to 3 % making it the poorest country in the world. Since independence and post liberalization in India in 1993, Indian economy has grown leaps and bounds and is expected to be the third largest global economy by 2030, but with the population growth in India at 2 % per annum, the positive changes have been slow but sure. Each year a large number of poor are uplifted from the Below Poverty Line ( BPL ) and the middle class continues to grow. However, the problem is still stark and in your face. The government and not for profit organizations' initiatives are applaudable and there are many affirmative action plans being implemented including reservations for backward classes and a change is certainly visible in standard of living and education.

Wider Seats on Tap at Beaver Stadium
By Zach Spedden on July 27, 2016 in NCAA Football, Penn State University
As Penn State plans renovations to Beaver Stadium, university officials are offering more details about what the project may entail.
Last week, we covered the news that Penn State was likely to reduce the seating capacity at Beaver Stadium, which holds roughly 107,000 spectators. A little bit more information has emerged as to why Penn State is considering this path.
According to athletic director Sandy Barbour, fan feedback suggests that wider seats should be a priority in the renovation. At this point, the Penn State is working with Populous to figure out how a change could be made without a significant reduction in capacity. More from the Morning Call:
Barbour said that, in surveys, fans rated seating comfort, particularly width and leg room, as "pretty high" on their list of requested renovations. Widening seats would require a capacity reduction, Barbour said, though Beaver Stadium likely will retain at least 100,000 seats.
Beaver Stadium is one of just eight in the country with a seating capacity above 100,000."
We've got a lot of folks who want to see Penn State games, so I don't think we have a whole lot of leeway in terms of making it smaller from a capacity standpoint," Barbour said. "But if we're going to make seats wider, and we're going to give people more leg room, we're going to be smaller."
Reduced seating has become a trend among stadium renovations, mainly so that amenities such as premium seating, more comfortable sections, improved egress, and other facilities can be incorporated into the project. The question of how the wider seats and other renovations will affect Beaver Stadium should be answered when the master plan from Penn State and Populous is released this fall.

Fortune senior writer, Anne Fisher, had a good story up on CNNMoney.com Tuesday morning about how the new OFCCP rules will impact job seekers.
The jury is still out on how the new OFCCP rules might help its intended goals but I believe one positive side effect of this could be a revitalized call to arms for the job boards and other online tools to drive meaningful relevancy advancements in online candidate sourcing.
One of Anne's recommendations in the new job seeker world created by the new OFCCP rules caught my eye because it signals another example of the shift that is beginning to occur in job seeker's minds about where, and how, to look for a job. It also provides a clear indication of how online sourcing practices must become even more targeted and relevant if they are to continue to succeed in an OFCCP world where companies limit the candidates that they'll consider for an open position.
On Super Bowl Sunday our OFCCP Part 1 – related post highlighted our thoughts about how the new rules will likely lead to some arbitrary exclusion of highly qualified candidates from online channels due to new policies that companies will enact as a defense mechanism against the new rules (namely to stave off high costs associated with having to classify, consider and manage information for online candidates).
On the positive side business is highly adaptive and potential always exists for positive outcomes that aren't initially obvious. That's what we want to talk about in this post. Here's an excerpt from Anne Fisher's article that quotes Gerry Crispin from CareerXroads discussing tips for job seekers in the new OFCCP environment.
"Target specific companies and visit their web sites often.
Can you say active job seeker? Gerry Crispin's point is spot on but all this talk about limits is really just another way of saying "give me the right quantity of more relevant candidates to choose from." You don't even need 30 qualified candidates if you've got two or three highly relevant candidates to choose from. And let's not get stuck on qualifications being the be all/end all to a highly relevant candidate. Think about your own hiring experiences over the years. I know in my years of hiring personnel that I was really happy when I could ultimately find even a couple of truly viable candidates to select from and a large percentage of the time their qualifications were not necessarily what set them apart.
It's not hard to see employers lusting after Gerry Crispin's example of getting all you need from your own corporate careers site. But don't think you're going to get all your best and brightest from the people posting their resumes on your site. This approach doesn't consider that those 30 candidates that applied for a job on the company site may well be a terrible match for the job even if they're technically qualified.
It's also easy to see how company staffing departments could jump on this bandwagon in a hurry because they like the idea that they'll get enough candidates from their site without spending any recruitment advertising dollars. Hell, who wouldn't like that idea? But, that's just as narrow minded as relying on search engine optimization techniques alone to solve all your human capital sourcing needs. It sounds good (and make no mistake, SEO is G-O-O-D) but it assumes that SEO IS the strategy, rather than an excellent tactic and tool that is part of an overall recruitment marketing strategy. Twenty years of hands-on marketing has taught me that diversifying your campaign and approach is a good thing and that great results often come from highly unexpected places – just like great talent from the candidate pool.
The other thing I've learned is that relevancy is the most important aspect of any campaign when you want highly leveraged results. If companies start placing highly restrictive limits on applicants, then the potential to impact the online job boards negatively rises significantly. It's like anti-marketing. Hide from your prospects, cut all your recruitment ad budgets and let only the most interested job seekers find their way in since it's too difficult to deal with them all. That's not going to work.
Going back to thread at the beginning of my post, if job boards use this as a call to arms in the battle for more relevancy then OFCCP could end up having a profoundly positive effect (albeit unintended) on the targeted recruitment tools used today. Interactive recruitment marketing tools stand to benefit the most since technology can be harnessed to connect the right people, in the right quantities at the right time while still relying on the huge pools of candidates that the job boards count as their strength. Make no doubt that there is still strength in the big board's numbers in the post OFCCP world, it's just that you'll want to dip your toes in that deep pool first before jumping in head first. You still want the pool full of water because without it full you'll just hit your head on the bottom when you do jump in. We can also hope for (and likely see) greater use of technology that enables people to work more effectively with their online applicants (think web 2.0). I'm talking here about tools integrated within existing job boards that specifically help talent acquisition professionals increase relevancy in their searches and also navigate the OFCCP rules efficiently.
Because on the other side of this equation, stock in recruiters and staffing personnel just went up. Human intelligence is the ultimate weapon against all the havoc that the new OFCCP rules will create. Until the technology arrives that solves some problems presented by these new rules it's the smart people, the very ones we need to find more of, that will save the day. If the job boards and other technology providers get it right they'll enable these people AND the job candidates to connect in new and more relevant ways that lead to rich interactions, great hires and more satisfying work experiences. Applying human intelligence and creativity, the "art" of talent acquisition may not make our MBA's very comfortable but they can rest easy knowing that it will all be figured out in a nice spreadsheet kinda way soon enough.
Technology and advertising (be it online or offline) can only get you so far. The rest is left to people, the talent acquisition professionals to uncover the diamonds in the rough, or the obvious superstars that your position may demand. The best recruiters will be the ones that use ALL the best tools to uncover both qualified and truly relevant candidates. The best online tools will be the ones that give you just the right amount of the right candidates at the right time – the right formula to capture those truly one-of-a-kind people that you need to hire.
This all brings a cliché or two to mind that are apropos: The more things change, the more they stay the same and people are your greatest asset.

Wind bylaw hearing attendees note some issues
Posted By National Wind Watch On July 23, 2014 @ 11:25 pm In Massachusetts | Comments Disabled
BUCKLAND – The Buckland Planning Board held a public hearing on Tuesday, July 22 to hear from voters about the board's proposed bylaw regulating the installation of small-scale wind turbines. No date to vote on the bylaw has yet been set. Planning Board members expect to meet again on Aug.5 at 6 p.m. and may make some revisions after having heard from residents Tuesday.
The proposed bylaw states that a person cannot erect a wind turbine higher 120 feet and/or rated to produce more than 250 kilowatts of power, which the Planning Board is deeming the upper limit for small-scale wind production.
The bylaw dictates the turbine should be set back at least 360 feet or three times its height from any buildings on the property in case it falls, and that the turbine should be at least 2,640 feet from any structures on neighboring to minimize auditory and visual disturbances to the neighbors.
Auditory disturbances include a five decibel rise in volume above ambient volume levels at the property line; a "pure tone condition," which is where the blade and motor emit a noise during rotation with one frequency being louder than any others it makes, creating a discernable note; and excessive low-frequency noise being emitted from either the blade or the motor. Visual disturbances the bylaw tries to mitigate are beacon lights on the turbine unless explicitly required by the FAA, shadowing of inhabited buildings near the tower, and to preserve the character of the neighborhood. Setback restrictions do not apply to turbines mounted on existing structures, such as on a house roof.
The proposed bylaw requires a resident who would like to erect a wind turbine to go through numerous studies, including a balloon test to determine the visibility of the turbine, a noise evaluation to assess the noise levels that the turbine would produce, and a survey of the environment to ensure the proposed location would not encroach on wetlands or endangered species habitat. As a measure against abandonment of a wind turbine site, the bylaw mandates a hefty removal fee.
After the bylaw was reviewed, read, some present took issue with the setback laws, which they found too restrictive. The section where the bylaw says a wind turbine cannot be closer than 2,640 feet to a structure on another property does bar most town properties from hosting turbines. The only areas in Buckland that satisfy the bylaws as written are a mile west of Route 112 and one on the Hawley town line west of Charlemont Road.
"If they comply with noise and visual tests, why are the setbacks a half-mile?" Michael Novack asked. "Not many houses are a half-mile away from each other, and it seems to be a stopper for development of these turbines. It seems too restrictive and it doesn't seem fair."
Novack's comment prompted Planning Board Chair John Gould to note that if abutting neighbors agree to a turbine on the property, then a variance can be granted. Novack also asked if the Planning Board could create gradation for setbacks in relation to the size of turbines, since a small turbine taking up the same footprint as a 120-foot-tall turbine seemed put of proportion.
Because turbines are meant for accessory power, a small turbine is the most suitable for private property, producing on average only 1-2 kilowatts to supply power to an average single-family home. The 250-kilowatt limit, however, could work if a whole neighborhood decides to connect all the houses to a tower.
Gould proposed different language in the final bylaw proposal to cover smaller turbines under different rules than the larger turbines, which would also not create the same visual or auditory disturbances because smaller turbines are less visually conspicuous and the faster rotation of smaller blades would reduce low-frequency noise.
"We have existing language that could set it apart," said Gould. "The setback of three times its distance could work for any size, but we'd reserve the half-mile setback for the largest turbines."
The bylaw's requirement of a 125 percent cost of removal financial surety to cover the cost to remove a turbine in case of abandonment did not seem salient to Finance Committee member Ben Murray, who questioned if that percentage would hold up under inflation. He proposed the Planning Board review turbine sites every five years to assess current removal costs rather than request financial surety at the time of application.

Panelists from Six Faith Traditions Discuss Motherhood
September 15th, 2014 @ 9:25am
Six women from different faith traditions offered their perspectives on both historical and contemporary views of motherhood on a Sept. 11 panel called NURTURING Faiths: The Intersection Between Motherhood and Religion."
Moderator Cyma Shapiro, whose gallery show on midlife mothering is on display at Hartford Seminary through September, organized the panel as a way to explore the similarities and differences among religions when it comes to motherhood. She explained in her introduction, however, that "all of these women are representatives of their doctrines, but can only speak for themselves."
In their opening statements, the panelists discussed everything from the origins of their religions to how faith communities today deal with issues such as adoption, abortion, surrogacy, and in-vitro fertilization.
The Rev. Bridget Fidler, Senior Minister of First Church of Christ, Congregational, United Church of Christ in Suffield, said her denomination advocates for women in all areas, including for reproductive justice. The UCC, she said, "seeks full rights for women in all their expressions of mothering."
Pastor Stacie Harris Byrdsong of New Generation Christian Center Church in Hartford said her Christian tradition bases its doctrine on the Bible. An adoptive mother herself, she read a Scripture passage about adoption and called it a "tremendous blessing." But for contemporary questions such as in-vitro fertilization not addressed in the Bible, she said, there isn't always a clear answer.
Cantor Donna Gordon of Temple Sinai in Newington explained that Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jews can have very different interpretations of religious law. Members of her Reform tradition, she said, leave decisions about reproductive rights, adoption and surrogacy up to the people involved. Rabbis in other traditions can have varying views, she said.
Debbie Humphries, a member of Hartford Monthly Meeting, New England Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, explained that Quakerism embraced women ministers from its beginnings in England in the 1650s. Quaker mothers "had this critical role in making visible God's spirit on earth," she said. She also described the challenge of living that mission. "For every tradition there's a tension between the ideology we hold and the way we put it into practice."
Hana Saleh, a Muslim and a homeschooling mother, said Islam puts a "high status on motherhood," because mothers provide unconditional love and care for their children. No matter how small and redundant the mother's tasks, she said, she is honored for them. "Paradise is beneath the mother's feet," she said.
Malou G. Dusyn, an ordained lay Buddhist Minister who practices Tibetan Buddhism, said her faith has strong female figures who embody the qualities to which mothers should aspire, including wisdom and compassion. Her faith, she said, stresses that mothers be conscious and mindful when with their children. The faith also reveres the "divine spark" that exists in all of us. "We don't own children," she said. "We are guardians and we help them follow the path."

The On-going Political Crisis in Victoria Deepens
ABC Election Analyst Antony Green
Two years ago I wrote a blog post explaining how an early election could come about in Victoria, even though the Victorian Parliament now has fixed four-year terms. (You can find the post here.)
Political events in Victoria today mean the procedures I outlined in that post may yet be used to bring on an early Victorian election before the due date on 29 November this year.
Today's crisis arose when Liberal turned Independent MP for Frankston, Geoff Shaw, indicated that the Napthine government no longer had his confidence and he would be prepared to vote for a no confidence motion, setting in train a process that could lead to an early election.
Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews tonight called it a constitutional crisis, but really it is more of a political crisis.
The Napthine government is in a similar position to the Gillard government, in control of the upper house of Parliament, but unable to keep control of the lower house, the house of government.
Between 2010 and 2013, the Opposition argued the Gillard government was weak and to some extent illegitimate. However, it never once tested the government's control of the House by moving a vote of no confidence. It daily tried (and failed) to suspend standing orders to move censure motions, but never used the formal no confidence procedures set out in standing orders.
The Napthine government has been in an even weaker position than the Gillard government. A number of times since last November, the Napthine government has lost control of the business of the Legislative Assembly, but not to the extent that the government could be defeated. Shambolic but not dead yet.
Now that Mr Shaw has said he would support a vote of no confidence, there is finally the opportunity for Daniel Andrews and the Labor Party to bring an end to the government. And the timing could be helpful for Labor with the unpopularity of the Federal budget likely to be used by Labor at any early election.
But there are several reasons why Mr Andrews and the the Labor Party won't want to move a vote of no confidence.
One is that it would require the Labor Party to look like it is prepared to deal with Geoff Shaw. It has always said it would not accept Shaw's 'tainted' vote.
Another is that Labor might be embarrassed if Shaw didn't go through with his threat, or changed his mind in the eight day cooling off period after the passage of a no confidence motion.
Which is presumably why Mr Andrews has come up with the strange idea of him and Dr Napthine meeting the Governor. It seems to me as improbable as Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser meeting jointly with Sir John Kerr. Governors act on the advice from Premiers, they don't provide advice to Premiers and Opposition Leaders.
The Constitution sets out a mechanism by which an early election can be engineered, and I would suggest the Governor's view will be that the provided mechanism should be invoked.
The point of fixed term parliaments and baton change/early election provisions was to codify the reserve powers of the Governor. The provisions set out how parliament should resolve a deadlock for the Governor, not the other way around.
What fixed term parliaments do is remove the ability of a popular and secure government to engineer an early election for its own advantage. It also provides a mechanism for a weak government to be replaced.
What it didn't set in place were rules to deal with a weak government prepared to limp on in the face of an opposition unwilling to either replace it of force it to an election. Nor does it deal with bad governments with control of the parliamentary numbers, a problem raised with the last Labor government in NSW before the 2011 election.
The lack of elected minor pary and independent MPs has made the Victorian situation worse, as has the problem of the Victorian lower house having 88 members, an even number, making it impossible for the government to rely on the Speaker's casting vote.
Similar fixed term minority Parliaments in South Australia elected in 2002 and in March this year were resolved through the cross bench. Both SA Parliaments have seen former opposition members end up joining the government to ensure stability.
That has not been possible in the Victoria parliament, the situation de-stabilised further by Mr Shaw's rift with the Liberal Party.
To date Mr Andrews and the Labor Party seem uncertain they have the ammunition to blast Dr Napthine out of government. On Mr Shaw's past voting pattern, you can understand why Mr Andrews is as yet unprepared to try storming the government's parliamentary defences.
One way to resolve the issue would be for the government and opposition to go through the process of co-operating to invoke the early election procedures. This has been done in Germany in similar circumstances where a government had lost the ability to govern. The last occasion was in 2005 when Gerhard Schroder joined with the opposition to trigger an early election after state election results had altered the balance of power in the national upper house.
But would the Napthine government be prepared to risk this option, or does it prefer to limp along and hope for rescue between now and November? If the government could call a snap election it might consider the risk, but going through a two week constitutional charade first would not have much political advantage.
The government may yet back Labor's idea of examining the privileges committee's inquiry into Mr Shaw. Suspending Mr Shaw might help the government survive a little longer by tying floor votes 43-43 leaving the Speaker to resolve deadlocks in favour of the government.
Backing Labor in voting to expel Mr Shaw would only resolve the issue if the Liberal Party won the by-election and restored the Assembly numbers elected in 2010. If Labor won the by-election the Legislative Assembly would truly become unworkable, as would be the case if Mr Shaw were re-elected. When the NSW Legislative Assembly last expelled a member in 1917, the expelled member was re-elected.
So while 29 November is still the date set for the next Victorian election, today's events raise the possibility of the election coming on earlier, and in far messier circumstances than anyone imagined.
If an election occured on the 2nd Saturday of August when would the following election be due?
COMMENT: The last Saturday in November 2017 instead of the last Saturday in November 2018. An election called early re-sets the four year term to four years from the previous November.

In amongst all the political posturing, blow by blow reporting and vested interests I couldn't work out what was going on. The situation now makes sense to me.
- Daniel June 04, 2014 at 10:18 AM
If the VIC government decides to "limp along", and the Opposition is unwilling to move a motion of no-confidence, where is the problem?
The Opposition Leader has stated that he will not block the budget, so the situation is not as dire as 1975. The Executive and public service will still be able to function, the government will just be prevented from passing new laws.
Is it correct that a sitting government does not need to prove that they maintain the confidence of the house, it is up to the Opposition to prove that the government has lost it?
Could the Opposition bring down the government by varying the budget by a dollar instead of moving a no-confidence motion?
COMMENT: Yes, it is up to a member opposing the government to move a vote of no confidence, unless the government were to argue to the Governor that the Assembly has become unworkable and it intended to invoke the deadlock provision itself. It would then be up to the Governor to accept that a deadlock existed and that the government's use of the deadlock provisions was appropriate. This is something that has never been tested, but if supported by the opposition would be uncontroversial.
The traditional one-pound amendment to supply could be used and reserve powers invoked, but why drag the Governor into the issue when Section 8A provides a mechanism by which the Assembly advises the Governor that an early election should be called.
I used 'limping' because the government would continue in office, but it would be in the position of administering rather than governing.
- SomeGuyOnTheInternet June 04, 2014 at 11:09 AM
Can a member expelled from parliament run for re election?
COMMENT: They can run for re-election. One of the problems of expelling members is they can be re-elected, creating a pickle for the parliament. The last NSW lower house member expelled, Richard Price in 1917, was re-elected by his constituents.
- David June 04, 2014 at 12:06 PM
Surely Geoff Shaw could not be permitted to have a vote in the house when considering the Privlelidges Committe Report as this would be a clear conflict of interest?
COMMENT: That is determined by the constitution, standing orders and past precedent, and I don't know any of those matters well enough to tell you whether Mr Shaw could or could not vote in those circumstances. As all members are elected members and have the right to vote on behalf of their constituents on all matters before the assembly, I would imagine he would have the right to vote on the matter.
- Andrew from Melb June 04, 2014 at 01:44 PM
In the process of expelling an MP, would the Parliament be obliged to observe administrative law -- e.g. show that only relevant considerations were taken into account; observe proportionality in the punishment; grant natural justice/procedural fairness?
The last one in particular could be hard.
Is this what the Premier may be referring to in flagging the possibility of the issue going to the High Court?
COMMENT: I think the Victorian Supreme Court is more likely than the High Court. The Parliament has the power to determine its own rules for membership, so the Court might be limited to ensuring the Parliament followed its own rules. There are a lot of rights and privileges here that come down from Westminster practice. Overall, I'm no expert on this, but issues to do with elected representatives are constitutionally a bit different to other legal matters.
- John Joyce June 04, 2014 at 02:09 PM
I thought the speaker said that if Shaw was expelled a by-election was not required, given the timing. Wouldn't this mean that the government could survive to the election on the vote of the speaker.
COMMENT: I don't think the Speaker has said that. The Electoral Act says a writ must be issued within 30 days of the vacancy. In 2010 when Craig Langdon resigned as member for Ivanhoe on 25 August, the Speaker issued a writ on 13 September for a 6 November by-election, but then discharged the writ as it was not possible for it to be returned before the Parliament was dissolved for the state election. The Speaker in the current situation would have to rule on the matter once they know the date any vacancy has occurred.
- Stephen Luntz June 04, 2014 at 08:31 PM
You said above that, if Shaw was suspended, the numbers would be 43-43 and the Speaker could resolve deadlocks in favour of the Government. I've heard, however, that convention dictates that the Speaker resolve deadlocks in favour of the status quo, which in most cases would mean defeating a bill. In that case, Labor would have a veto and the question would be whether the Government wanted to try to limp along.
Are you confident that the Speaker would be able to resolve deadlocks according to their personal views rather than according to a "status quo" convention?
COMMENT: The normal convention in Australian parliaments is that Speakers use their casting vote to maintain the government in office.
- Greg Platt June 04, 2014 at 11:48 PM
If a by-election for the seat of Frankston is the result - will it be conducted on the old electoral boundaries or the new electoral boundaries?
The EBC website says the boundaries will apply at the next state election on the 29th of November, but given that is for the election of a new parliament, this would a by-election for the continuation of the current parliament.
COMMENT: The by-election will be conducted on the OLD boundaries. The new boundaries will be used for the next general election whenever that is held.
- Jeff June 05, 2014 at 11:12 AM
I know it is a long held and very common tradition that the Speaker does not cast a vote. Even the American Speaker, who is a party leader, only uses his vote to resolve deadlocks.
Aside from that fact that it is written law, at least federally, I never understood why Speakers cannot vote. If they were neutral arbiters as in the U.K., I could understand. But I do not see that in Australian Speakers.
Are there any other reasons why Speakers only have casting votes and is there any desire to change that?
COMMENT: There is no other reason apart from tradition and I see no mad desire for change, with the possible exception of the Victorian Legislative Assembly where there will always be an even number of members. The ACT and NT Speaker have deliberative votes given the small size of those two assemblies, the the NT Speaker also has a casting vote. The President of the Senate has always had a deliberative vote.
- Mark Roth June 05, 2014 at 04:16 PM
If there was a by-election in Frankston and Labor was to win, would this automatically result in a change in government? Has this ever happened before in Australia?
COMMENT: In Queensland in 1996, the Goss Labor government resigned and was replaced by the Borbidge Coalition government after Labor lost the Mundingburra by-election. If Labor won a Frankston by-election, both labor and the Coalition would hold 44 seats, making it impossible for either side to govern if they appointed a Speaker. In those circumstances, the Parliament may be prorogued pending the election, or procedures may be adopted to bring the election forward.
- Paul June 05, 2014 at 04:31 PM
Antony, I think you are mistaken - Labor has never said they "will not accept" Geoff Shaw's vote, which is indeed impossible to do given he votes last and remains in his regular seat in Parliament. They've they said they will not seek nor negotiate for his vote, but that's entirely different. Indeed, while Mr Andrews has described Geoff Shaw's vote as "tainted", he has explicitly said he will not seek to counter Geoff Shaw's vote in Parliament by means of a pair or removing himself from the chamber ala Mr Abbott in the previous Federal Parliament and ruled that out on the day the Government lost their majority.
COMMENT: I was not in any way suggesting that the Labor Party would try and act on the floor as you suggest.
- R June 05, 2014 at 10:29 PM
Section 170 of the Legislative Assembly Standing Orders about Pecuniary interest reads as follows:
"A member must not vote in the House or a select committee on any question in which he or she has a direct pecuniary interest. If a member does so, his or her vote is to be disallowed".
Could it be said that Geoff Shaw has a Pecuniary interest if he proposed to vote on a motion about a fine for him and potentially being suspended or expelled (with monetary implications it would be assumed?
COMMENT: The vote would impact on Mr Shaw's ability to represent his constituents. He is their elected representative and any salary he receives is recompense to carry out that role, not a pecuniary interest.
- A June 05, 2014 at 11:22 PM
Off topic so feel free to delete but...
If you have time Antony, I wonder if you could write a blog piece similar to this one http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2014/05/an-early-double-dissolution-dont-hold-your-breathe.html but perhaps more succinct for the mass audience?
Specifically, as you are probably aware, ever since Andrew Wilkie made his "block supply" speech, social media sites have been flooded with ill-informed comments, #BlockSupply hashtags and anger directed at Labor/Greens for not blocking the Appropriations Bill. Obviously it's not going to happen but it's a shame if people's voting intentions get distorted due to ignorance about the practicalities of how our democracy actually works.
COMMENT: The succinct answer is that the Senate is not going to block supply. It has the power to do so but it won't. Senators elected in November 2007 and whose terms end on 30 June this year should not be blocking supply to end the term of a government elected in Septmeber 2013, especially when those Senators themselves will not face the consequences of their actions. Democracy is not just about elections, it is also about the rules around when elections are conducted. At three years Australia has one of the world's shortest parliamentary terms, so if people don't like the government, they should bottle their anger for 2016 rather than advocate the upending of normal constitutional practice just because they dislike a budget.
- Bryan June 06, 2014 at 08:39 PM
Antony, is there a constitutional requirement in Victoria that prevents the house having an odd number of members? It isn't guaranteed to fix problems like this (the "odd" person can be an independent) but it does seem inherently risky.
COMMENT: The lower house seats are tied to Legislative Council regions. There are eight regions and each region must have the same number of seats in it. This regional configuration means there will always be an even number of seats in the lower house. The only way to fix it is to have an odd number of Legislative Council regions, or to have a deadlock mechanism for tied results, as existed in Tasmania in the 1950s.
- Pyrmonter June 10, 2014 at 10:17 AM
Antony & Pyrmonter, the Victorian Constitution's provisions requiring 40 Members of the Legislative Council in 8 regions of 5 each, with 88 single-member districts for the Legislative Assembly, were made "entrenched provisions" when proportional representation was introduced for the Legislative Council in 2003. We are stuck with memberships of 40 and 88 unless a Bill to amend the numbers is passed by referendum.

Eliphalet Wickes (* 1. April 1769 in Huntington, Provinz New York; † 7. Juni 1850 in Troy, New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Jurist und Politiker. Zwischen 1805 und 1807 vertrat er den Bundesstaat New York im US-Repräsentantenhaus.

Werdegang
Eliphalet Wickes arbeitete während der Zeit der Amerikanischen Revolution als Expressreiter. Danach studierte er Jura und begann nach Erhalt seiner Zulassung als Anwalt in Jamaica (New York) zu praktizieren. Am 1. Juli 1797 wurde er zum ersten Postmeister von Jamaica ernannt, eine Stellung, die er bis zum 1. April 1806 innehatte. In dieser Zeit schloss sich wegen seiner politischen Ansichten der von Thomas Jefferson gegründeten Demokratisch-Republikanischen Partei an. Bei den Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1804 wurde Wickes im ersten Wahlbezirk von New York in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt, wo er am 4. März 1805 die Nachfolge von Samuel Riker antrat. Da er im Jahr 1806 auf eine erneute Kandidatur verzichtete, schied er nach dem 3. März 1807 aus dem Kongress aus. Am 1. Januar 1807 wurde Wickes zum zweiten Mal zum Postmeister von Jamaica ernannt und bekleidete dieses Amt bis zum 27. April 1835. Wickes war zwischen 1818 und 1821 als Bezirksstaatsanwalt von Queens tätig und später als Master am New York Court of Chancery. Er verstarb am 7. Juni 1850 in Troy und wurde dann auf dem Oakwood Cemetery beigesetzt.
