(Excuse Me) By Heather Burton —Aud-Cont. and Maureen Lewis —H&HS Photo by Janice Hughes Imagine a department of over 750 employees having to track costs for grants using individual Excel spreadsheets for each grant. In that same world employees must often record their time and activities in two or three different systems. Tracking the status of a payment to a vendor usually involves phone calls or even a trip to the Auditor’s office. Sound familiar? This is the world that the current financial system supports. Now imagine something better…. ■ It all started two years ago with a needs assessment. The Auditor-Controllor’s Office met with many county departments to determine what should be included in any new system. Once all of the feedback was in, it became clear that the county was ready to move from its current fragmented approach to a new, more flexible system Seated, L to R: Heidi Davaloo (DPW), Margaret Bohan (DPW) Standing, L to R: Francie Hubert (Aud- Cont.), Supranee Mai (Aud-Cont.), Cloann Di Grazia (Aud-Cont.), Jim Toth (IST), Heather Burton that would combine financials and payroll, grant and project (Aud-Cont.), Gordon Haberfelde (IST), Samantha Klein (CAO), and Danny Briones (Aud-Cont.) management, benefits administration, and asset management. …continued on page 11 both women share Hair-Razing the beauty of what lay beneath their hair.

  • Source Affiliations and Framing of the GMO Debate by East Africa's Nation
    Source affiliations and framing of the GMO debate by East Africa’s Nation Media Group Rebecca Randall A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Studies University of Washington 2014 Committee: Ben Gardner Patricia Moy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Jackson School of International Studies © Copyright 2014 Rebecca Randall 2 University of Washington Abstract Source affiliations and framing of the GMO debate by East Africa’s Nation Media Group Rebecca Randall Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Ben Gardner, Chair of Africa Studies Program and Assistant Professor, Interdisciplinary Arts Jackson School of International Studies and University of Washington at Bothell A content analysis of the East African Nation Media Group newspapers’ framing of the GMO debate from 2010-2013 adds to the global studies literature on the transatlantic debate on GMOs. The GMO debate has been described as polarized between European and U.S. political approaches and further as influencing the way that Africans respond to this inherited debate. However, newspapers in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have unique approaches to reporting on GMO adoption and regulation that do not ignore transnational influences but does not necessarily correspond with characterizations of an “inherited” debate. In journalists’ reporting on GMOs in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, they encounter transnational networks of donors, foundations, governments, researchers, farmers and others spanning from the Global North to East Africa. Each approach is described as benevolent—a panacea for hunger and malnutrition or a preservation of Africa’s biodiversity and traditional indigenous agricultural practices. This misses the skewed power balance in these transnational networks, which privilege experiences in the Global North and outline the socioeconomic conditions that have led to poverty in sub- Saharan Africa in the first place.

  • The Future of Our Educational Institutions* ↓
    Nietzsche, Future of Our Educational Institutions 1 Space for Notes On The Future of Our Educational Institutions* ↓ By Friedrich Nietzsche First Lecture (Delivered on the 16th of January 1872). Ladies and Gentlemen, -- The subject I now propose to consider with you is such a serious and important one, and is in a sense so disquieting, that, like you, I would gladly turn to any one who could proffer some information concerning it, -- were he ever so young, were his ideas ever so improbable -- provided that he were able, by the exercise of his own faculties, to furnish some satisfactory and sufficient explanation. It is just possible that he may have had the opportunity of hearing sound views expressed in reference to the vexed question of the future of our educational institutions, and that he may wish to repeat them to you; he may even have had distinguished teachers, fully qualified to foretell what is to come, and, like the haruspices of Rome, able to do so after an inspection of the entrails of the Present. Indeed, you yourselves may expect something of this kind from me. I happened once, in strange but perfectly harmless circumstances, to overhear a conversation on this subject between two remarkable men, and the more striking points of the discussion, together with their manner of handling the theme, are so indelibly imprinted on these matters, I invariably find myself falling into their grooves of thought. I cannot, however, profess to have the same courageous confidence which they displayed, both in their daring utterance of forbidden truths, and in the still more daring conception of the hopes with which they astonished me.

The legislature of each of these states appropriates $20,000 a year for its operation. The states formed SREB for the purpose of making better use of colleges and universities by sharing resources for professional, technical, and graduate education. By sharing such resources, the states get more for their educational dollars. They can use college programs which already exist and do not have to establish duplicate programs in each state if such duplication is not needed. Also, the states and the institutions can jointly plan and establish new educational programs according to the needs of the region. * >I< * The Board is composed of the governors of the Southern states, ex officio, and four persons ap­ pointed by each.

  • Reforming the Presidential Nominating Process
    REFORMING THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING PROCESS PAUL T. DAVID* It is the function of the presidential nominating process to identify the candidates who can be made the subject of a presidential election; it is the function of the general election to make the final choice. Because of this characteristic difference in function, the nominating process differs from the general election process in respects that are fundamental to the manner in which each should be conducted. An election for President, as long as the two-party system holds together, is essenti- ally a choice between two candidates, each of whom was formally identified some time in advance, has become familiar to the voters through active campaigning, and has the support in the election of a permanently organized national political party. None of these features is true of the nominating process. It has to begin in the first place by ascertaining the alternatives among whom a choice may be made, seldom deals with a choice between two candidates and only two, frequently involves a comparison between some candidates who are well known and others who are little known and goes on inside the political party from which support will be obtained-after the choice has been made. Much of what is most important in the nominating process occurs before there is any short list of definite candidates on whom to concentrate attention. These aspects of the process will be neglected here, moving on immediately to special char- acteristics of the nominating choice that become apparent after the field of candidates for a party nomination has become relatively clear.' SOME CHARACTErISTICs OF PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING CHOICE I.

He graduated from Leon High School in Tallahassee and received a degree in law from Cumberland University in Birmingham, Alabama. He returned to Tallahassee and married Mary Call Darby, the great-granddaughter of Richard Call who had twice served as Territorial Governor of Florida. Soon after his marriage to Mary Call, Collins was elected as the representative of Leon County to the Florida House of Representatives in 1934. He served in this position until 1940 when he filled the term of the late William Hodges in the Florida Senate. Collins purchased the Call family home "The Grove" in 1941 and shortly thereafter resigned his position from the Florida Senate to join the Navy in 1942.
