myMCPnews - Safety Tips for Extreme Temperatures

The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning and is predicting extreme temperatures for Saturday and Sunday. Due to the high humidity, temperatures will be slower to cool in the evening hours.

Extreme temperatures are potentially dangerous for the elderly, the young, those with existing medical conditions, and those who work outdoors. During hot weather and extreme heat, use the internet or listen to local news and weather channels for the latest forecast. Police are also offering the following tips to help reduce heat-related risks for community members.

? Remember to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day and evening.
? Wear light-colored and lightweight clothing for comfort and safety.
? Contact those family members, neighbors, and friends who may be more vulnerable to the heat to ensure they are safe.

The Center for Disease Control has additional information to keep yourself safe in hot weather conditions at the following link: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/extremeheat/heat_guide.asp

Police are also reminding pet owners to be especially careful with all pets during this time of increased heat. Tips for caring for dogs during hot weather include:
? Keep dogs inside if possible.
? Give dogs plenty of water and shade if outside.
? Do not force a dog to run; walking is safer.
? Do not leave a dog in a parked car in warm weather, even for a short period of time.

Additionally, officers from the Montgomery County Animal Services Division will be enforcing the Executive Regulation 10-11AM, Anti-Cruelty Conditions for Dogs, Section II-D, which states, ?A person must not tether a dog under circumstances that endanger its health, safety, or well-being, including: unattended tethering of a dog during a weather emergency.? This regulation will be in effect and enforced on Saturday, July 7, from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and as long as and/or whenever the Weather Service issues an Excessive Heat Warning.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) offers more details to keep your pet safe during the summer season at the following link: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/pet-care-tips/hot-weather-tips.aspx

The Fed's Weak Dollar Policy Is Hindering an ... - Yahoo! Finance

Follow The Daily Ticker on Facebook!

The U.S. economic recovery remains weak. The June unemployment report released Friday disappointed again with just 80,000 payrolls added, leaving the jobless rate unchanged at 8.2 percent. GDP growth has stalled from a respectable 3 percent in the fourth quarter of last year to a meager 1.9 percent in the first quarter 2012.

While a divided Congress has done very little to promote an economic recovery over the last couple years, the U.S. Federal Reserve has taken extraordinary measures to keep the U.S. economy from completely falling off a cliff. The Fed's first and second round of quantitative easing have since come and gone, but its 'Operation Twist' program was recently extended through the end of the year to keep long-term interest rates low and encourage borrowing.

According to John Tamny, editor of RealClearMarkets, it is the Fed's excessive monetary easing that has kept a U.S. recovery from materializing.

"My view for quite some time has been that when we talk about economic problems in the U.S. we are really talking about symptoms and symptoms of the weak dollar," says Tamny. "If the stated objective of your monetary policy is to devalue dollars, it is going to be true that investment is going to be less such that economic growth is less."

On the flip side, some contend a stronger dollar is bad for the U.S. economy. A stronger dollar would lead to fewer U.S. exports because our goods would become more expensive on the global market and our imports would rise. Tamny does not agree with this argument.

"Imports are beautiful, it is poor countries that don't import," he says. "If devaluation or a weak currency were the path to prosperity then countries like Argentina and Zimbabwe and Turkey would be among the richest in the world."

To remedy the economy and seek a stronger dollar, he says the U.S. Treasury must announce immediately that it will pursue a stronger currency pegged to something "real." Markets will rally around this idea, he says, "and soon enough the U.S. economy will soar."

Tell us what you think! Do you think a strong or weak dollar is better for America?

How can online training management software help you? | Acteva ...

?U.S. process plants lose over $20 billion per year from abnormal situations and $10 billion (50%) is directly attributable to human error.1? What do you make of this? Well, it goes beyond saying that in the absence of trained professionals, your company is bound to suffer capital wise, resource wise, and of course time-wise.

You need to grow your business to generate the kind of income that you have targeted to achieve. My next door neighbor Mr. Smith keeps on saying every other day what a good decision he ?had taken ?a year ago in arranging a quarterly training session for his 50-odd employees (he owns a printer manufacturing company). He has seen a sudden spurt in productivity, resulting in increased sales and profit over time. Really, I see him a happy man now.

In running a business, training is necessary to educate plus motivate the workforce to increase productivity and reduce error at work. New joiners especially, should be trained on how efficiently they can work and contribute fruitfully towards increasing production and growth. ?Lot of times, loss of revenue happens due to the mismanagement of resources and time.

Loss of revenue could stem from a number of other sources such as inefficiency of the support team to provide valuable customer response or the inability to sort out a client query on time. It leads to the customers either getting annoyed or discontinuing all future transactions with you. Thus, to prevent this from occurring you need to organize at least a couple of training programs to turn the support staff into quick decision takers and instant problem solvers.

Organizing training programs manually leads to unnecessary wastage of money and stupendous administrative tasks in terms of booking venues and hiring additional personnel to manage the attendees, etc. Today, you will see a growing number of small to large business houses moving towards acquiring and implementing online training solutions to reduce the usage of manual work processes. Acteva has designed and developed an online Class Management Software (CMS) that lets you easily manage training sessions all by yourself.

With Acteva CMS, you can manage a single or multiple training programs hosted on the same day across all your office branches spread around the globe. The emailing tool that comes integrated with the Class Management Software lets you send instant reminders and notifications to the staff. The software helps you to track the progress of each trainee and generate an online report (via the online reporting tool) based on their over-all performance.

This software is cost-effective with no installation, downloading or maintenance charges and no licensing or hosting fees. It is absolutely Cloud-based; thus is easily accessible from any location, 24/7. With CMS in place, anyone can attend an online training session from just about anywhere that has internet connectivity. It offers flexibility and convenience to anyone who uses it, with easy creating and automatic updating of the class calendar online. Besides, you can design multiple customized certificates once the trainees have successfully completed a series of training session and contributed significantly towards the growth of your business. Use ?Acteva Print Manager? and the ?Template Creator? to easily design certificates and then print them all just on the touch of a button. You can even email the soft-copy of those certificates to your attendees.

Thus, keep hosting training sessions, keep boosting the morale of your employees, and say goodbye to all the hassles and worries over managing attendees with Acteva?s world class online Class Management Software.

Largest California College May Soon Be Shut Down

Empty Classroom

July 5, 2012

California's largest college may lose its accreditation and be forced to close its doors if it does not address a number of major issues.

As reported by SF Gate, City College of San Francisco, which serves 90,000 students across its nine campuses and hundreds of instructional sites, has until March 15 to address 14 major problems that have been identified by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. In a 66-page report, the commission found issues such as weak leadership at all levels and failure to manage and react to reduced funding. According to ABC7 News, most of the issues were money-related; for instance, lack of budget planning, forecasting and managing buildings. SF Gate also reported that the college spends 92 percent of its budget on salaries and benefits.

According to San Jose Mercury News, Barbara Beno, president of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, wrote that funding is "inadequate to support the mission of the college as it is currently conceived."

SF Gate pointed out, however, that Beno did not say that reduced state funding was the cause of CCSF's problems as many other California colleges have lost millions of dollars in recent years and just two others--College of the Redwoods in Eureka and Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo--are on the brink of closure. Only one California college--Compton College--has been shut down after losing its accreditation. That was in 2005.

"It's choices," said Beno in SF Gate. "Regardless of how much money they have, safeguards apparently weren't in place. The situation is very grave."

The commission's verdict was not a surprise--the college was already warned in 2006 that it had eight major problems that put it in danger. Pamila Fisher, interim chancellor of CCSF who took over May 1, has attempted to address the school's budget woes for the upcoming academic year, but more still needs to be done. Fisher plans to appoint a team to address the 14 issues identified in the report. In a two-page response, Fisher acknowledged the severity of the situation.

"City College is fully aware of the seriousness of the situation," she wrote. "...Clear, difficult choices must be made, immediately, and at a number of levels."

According to ABC7 News, the college must start showing progress in October and has until March 2013 to completely solve all 14 problems. If the school fails to meet the deadlines, it will lose its accreditation and, therefore, its funding. As a result, CCSF will be forced to shut down.

Many students depend on City College's affordable classes to help them transfer to a four-year college, take care of general education requirements, vocational training or simply for personal enrichment. Because of this, faculty told SF Gate they would do what it takes to keep the school open.

"The last thing anyone wants is for the college to close," said English instructor Alisa Messer. "We'll all work very hard to make sure it doesn't."

Kamer also told ABC7 News that the commission did not have any negative feedback regarding the quality of instruction at CCSF.
