LE A DING L A D I ES By Haley Weaver
It’s time again for the fourth annual University of West Florida Women in Leadership Conference. The theme for 2017 is “Designing Your Future,” featuring guest speakers from local businesses such as Gulf Power Vice President of Customer Service and Sales Bentina Terry and Saltmarsh Managing Director Christina Doss. This year the speakers will dedicate more time to giving the attendees knowledge they can use in their future employment rather than sharing personal testimonies. For example, Terry’s closing address will discuss the importance of putting the information retained from the conference, as well as books on leadership, into practice and taking action. Sherry Hartnett, director of the UWF Executive Mentor Program, created the event while trying to recruit speakers for the students in the Executive Mentor Program; she determined they needed to show
women in business positions of authority. Hartnett also realized they couldn’t choose just one woman, and opted for a panel instead. “Then, I realized it would be fun to have a couple of panels of women – and from there the original idea to have one speaker, turned into a nearly full-day conference and we’ve never looked back,” she explained. Hartnett says they specifically book local guest speakers in order to keep the experience personal; they represent what local companies are looking for and how they operate, and provide a view of the careers one can have without migrating to fish bowl cities such as New York City and Los Angeles. What’s more, this makes contacting the speakers more accessible. “What makes every year unique is hearing the very real
and inspiring stories from the speakers,” says Hartnett. The primary audience are young professionals and upcoming graduates, but Hartnett assures diverse speakers are recruited in order to reach attendees of all ages, industries, ethnicities, experiences, and life stages. There will be opportunities for networking throughout the event during breaks between speakers; along with the attendees, many panelists and speakers will be available to chat with after the conclusion of the conference. The biggest networking opportunity is the Round-Table Luncheon included in the conference ticket, wherein a facilitator sits at each of the ten tables to assist in cultivating conversations among the attendees. Local companies also use this conference as a team building opportunity for their employees. Navy Federal, Saltmarsh, and Gulf Power are just a few of the companies who use the conference to benefit their employees, says Hartnett. Hartnett hopes the attend-
ees will take away valuable knowledge they can use in their current or future careers and endeavors, even if they simply gain confirmation that their current path is the right one. Half the speakers’ time is dedicated solely to audience questions, really catering to enrich the experiences of the attendees. “I believe,” she says, “the attendees will enjoy the enthusiasm and honesty of the speakers. They’re just such real people; you can tell they’re speaking from the heart and that’s meaningful.” If you’re interested in getting involved, Hartnett says, you’ll need to act fast. Tickets are free, but this event has sold out quickly every year. However, that shouldn’t discourage you as there will be a waiting list for potential attendees if someone with a ticket is unable to attend. The conference will be on March 3, from 11:45 am to 5 pm in the UWF Conference Center and Auditorium, Building 22. To register or learn more about the event, visit uwf.edu/

RUBIO, NELSON TARGET APALACHICOLA WATER STANDARDS By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Following an adverse legal decision, Florida’s two U.S. senators have joined forces to urge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to not finalize water-control standards for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river basin. The joint letter from Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Bill Nelson to Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite, the commanding general and chief for the Corps in Washington, D.C., came after a special master appointed by the U.S. Supreme Court recommended that Florida be denied relief in its claim that overconsumption of water in Georgia is damaging the Apalachicola River and
Apalachicola Bay in Florida. “While we do not agree with his final recommendation, the special master correctly points out that Florida has indeed suffered real harm due to Georgia’s unrestrained overconsumption of water,” Nelson and Rubio wrote in the letter. “The master’s report also emphasizes the need for the Army Corps to reevaluate its position with respect to the impacts on the Apalachicola River and Bay.” Florida’s two senators urged the Corps not to finalize what is known as a “water control manual” for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river system and instead “ensure these decisions are based on sound science and take into account the recommendations of relevant experts at
the federal agencies and the very lengthy trial record.” “The master has credited the testimony of Florida’s experts on the ecological harms to our state and to fail to consider all of this new information would violate both the spirit and the letter of the National Environmental Policy Act,” the senators said. Nelson and Rubio said the failure of Georgia and the Corps to adopt “meaningful limitations” on water use in the river system has damaged the ecology and economy of the Apalachicola Bay area. “Last year, the ACF river basin was named the most endangered in the country,” the senators said. “Apalachicola Bay used to produce plentiful oysters, but due to reduced water flows, is no lon-
ger a productive ecosystem.” Florida filed a lawsuit against Georgia in 2013, alleging that Georgia diverts too much water from the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint basin. The Supreme Court appointed Special Master Ralph Lancaster, a Maine lawyer, to hear arguments and make a recommendation for how the court should address the issue. The senators noted the special master’s report found “there is little question that Florida has suffered harm from decreased flows” into the Apalachicola River and that water consumption by Georgia’s agriculture industry has gone “largely unrestrained.” Nelson and Rubio also noted the special master emphasized the role of the Corps in managing the water system.
In fact, Lancaster said he could not find an equitable settlement of water use between Florida and Georgia without the Corps’ participation, while noting the Corps was not a party in the lawsuit. “It is imperative that the Army Corps take into account the special master’s findings,”” Florida’s senators said. “A matter as important as the health and financial well-being of an entire ecosystem deserves deep scrutiny.” Earlier this week, U.S. Rep. Neal Dunn, a Republican whose district includes Apalachicola Bay, also called on the Corps to suspend the possibility of allowing more water use in Georgia until the federal agency meets with Florida officials and others to discuss the impact of the court report.
COLLEGE PRESIDENTS OPPOSE SENATE FUNDING PROPOSAL By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Florida college presidents say they are opposed to a new performance-based funding measure that will be considered by the Senate Appropriations Committee next week. James Henningsen, president of the College of Central Florida, told the State Board of Education on Thursday that the colleges want to stay with the performance standards that the board adopted in 2015. “As the Council of Presidents, we’re in support of keeping that same model,”
Henningsen told the board, which was meeting in Gainesville. “We’ve put a lot of effort (into the performance standards) over the last two years.” The new standards contained in the Senate proposal (SB 2) would evaluate performance based on the number of fulltime state college students who complete their associate degrees in two years and baccalaureate degrees in four years. Under the current system, the 28 schools are measured based on a three-year standard for associate degrees and a six-year standard for baccalaureate degrees. The tighter graduation standards, if they become law, could
mean some schools fall short and lose performance funding. Henningsen said the college presidents want to retain the current standards for all colleges, while agreeing that higher standards could be applied to schools seeking to win a “distinguished” institution designation. The Senate bill with the new performance standards is one of two major higher-education bills scheduled for a vote next Thursday in the Senate Appropriations Committee. The legislation also contains a higher performance standard for state universities, holding them to a four-year graduation measure rather the than the current six.
LAWMAKERS UNVEIL LEGISLATION TO LIMIT TESTING TIME By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Leading members of the House and Senate unveiled legislation Wednesday that they said could help reduce the amount of time Florida public school students spend on standardized tests during the school year. But lawmakers admitted that the proposal (HB 773, SB 926), dubbed the “Fewer, Better Tests” legislation, would not explicitly do away with any exams. The proposal would require the state’s language arts and math tests to be administered in the last three weeks of a school year, with the exception of the 3rd-grade reading exam. It also requires that the scores for any tests used by local school districts be provided to teachers within a week, instead of the month currently allowed by law. And it calls for the state to conduct a study of whether college-entrance exams are closely aligned with Florida’s high school standards, with an eye on potentially using them as at least a partial replacement for the state’s graduation tests. The proposal comes amid a continuing stream of complaints from parents that children in Florida’s schools are over-tested. Lawmakers at the press conference said they had heard the gripes. “We got the message from parents and teachers about how they feel about the testing process, the anxiety that some of their students feel and really the common-sense approach of what they need and what kind of tools they need to make sure that their children or that their students are getting a year’s worth of learning in a year’s worth of time,” said Rep. Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor. Sprowls is set to become the speaker of the House after the 2020 elections. The legislation is backed by the influential Foundation for Florida’s Future, an organization founded by former Gov.
Jeb Bush to guard his work on education accountability. The foundation and other testing supporters have come under siege from the public pushback against testing in recent years. Still, the legislation, highlighted at an event Wednesday at the Capitol, doesn’t get rid of any of the exams that parents, students and teachers have complained about. “It doesn’t eliminate any tests,” Sen. Anitere Flores of Miami, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, said in response to a reporter’s question. When the reporter underscored the title that lawmakers gave the legislation, she pointed out that it would limit the amount of time when school districts can administer exams. “It does reduce the testing window, but I don’t know if actually eliminates any tests,” Flores said. Supporters said the oneweek window for local tests was aimed at prompting districts to get rid of any exams that couldn’t meet that standard. Rep. Manny Diaz Jr., RHialeah, said the local tests contributed more to the current backlash from parents than the state assessments, as districts try to measure their students ahead of the state exams. “That’s what produced, I think, the overwhelming feeling that kids are just being over-tested anywhere,” said Diaz, who chairs the House subcommittee that oversees public school spending. “A lot of those tests are local because districts just want to see where their students are. And I don’t blame them. But, unfortunately, we have to clear the path for learning to go on.” After the event, Diaz told a reporter he didn’t think there were too many state tests, but added, “I think we always have to evaluate that, because things change.” Whether the bills could command support from groups like the Florida Education Association, the state’s main teachers
union and one of the organizations pushing back on over-testing, remains unclear. Mark Pudlow, a spokesman for the FEA, said in an email that the group was still studying the proposal. “There are some elements of the proposal we agree with, others that may be concerning,” Pudlow said. “We’ll be seeking clarification on some of those areas of concern.” The legislation at least makes some nods in the direction of specific ideas that have been floated to help lighten the testing load in Florida, but doesn’t go as far as more sweeping suggestions. For example, Sen. David Simmons, an Altamonte Springs Republican who chairs the Senate’s education budgetwriting panel, has said there is “a good chance” that legislation he is planning to address testing will recommend doing away high school tests not required by federal law. The bill unveiled Wednesday would not do that. And Sen. Tom Lee, RThonotosassa, has pushed for the state to allow at least some students to use scores on national tests like the SAT and the Preliminary SAT in lieu of state assessments, like the high-school graduation exam. Diaz emphasized the need to study how well those tests line up with the state’s education standards before going down that road. “All of those conversations have occurred without us taking an actual deep-dive look at whether that is actually even viable,” he said. During a committee meeting last month, that argument didn’t appear to persuade Lee. “If you have a child that is performing well on the PSAT to the point where they’re then going on to make (a high score) on the SAT, what else do we need to know?” he said. “And if they’re not doing as well as we hope to on our (state tests) after accomplishing those scores on the PSAT and the SAT, maybe it’s our standards that are the problem, not the test.”
The legislation would also require state universities to put in place a block tuition plan, in which students would be charged a flat rate for classes each semester rather than paying on the current credit-hour basis, by the fall of 2018. Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart, said this week he would like to have the two major higher-education bills (SB 2, SB 4) on the Senate floor during the first week of the 60-day legislative session, which begins March 7. Also Thursday, the State Board of Education unanimously approved an accounting baccalaureate degree program
for Santa Fe College in Gainesville. It is the 11th four-year degree program approved for a state college since a moratorium on new college baccalaureate degrees ended in 2015. The accounting degree program, which has the support of the University of Florida, is designed to graduate more accounting students to meet job demands in the Gainesville area. Another Senate bill (SB 374) would cap the number of state college students enrolled in four-year degree programs and would extend the review period for schools seeking to win approval for new baccalaureate degrees.

HOUSE MOVES TO WITHDRAW FROM REFUGEE PROGRAM By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
State House members took the first step Thursday in seeking to withdraw Florida from a federal refugee-assistance program. In a party-line vote, the House Children, Families & Seniors Subcommittee supported a measure (HB 427) by Rep. David Santiago, R-Deltona, that would direct the state refugee coordinator to provide notice by June 30 to the director of the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement that Florida will no longer participate in the program effective Dec. 31. Santiago acknowledged there is no “evidence” terrorists have used the refugee program to enter Florida and that the withdrawal wouldn’t halt the federal government from locating refugees in the state. However, he said his intention is to send a “message to the feds” to improve the refugeevetting process and to keep ter-
rorists from using the program. “What we do have is evidence of what has occurred in other countries and other states where the refugee program has been infiltrated,” Santiago said. “We’re in an ever-changing, global threat. And our enemies are getting smarter and smarter and finding other ways to find weakness within our processes.” House Democrats staged a walkout three weeks ago when the committee heard from a speaker with a history of inflammatory statements about minorities and immigrants during a discussion involving the refugee program. This time, members of the minority party objected by calling the bill politically based and said it would leave the state without the ability to engage in future discussions about refugee resettlement. “It’s almost as if we are being asked to accept the bogeyman’s argument that refugees in this state are the
problem,” said Rep. Kionne McGhee, D-Miami. “What the bill does is, it sends red meat to the base of a political party in order to justify future elections. It’s wrong.” Florida is budgeted to receive $257.4 million in the current fiscal year from the federal government for the refugee services. A House staff analysis estimated the state’s withdrawal would eliminate 41 federally funded full-time positions in the state Department of Children and Families. The notice period is expected to give the federal government time to find non-profits to handle future resettlements in Florida. Scott McCoy, with the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that monitors hate groups, told the committee the “expensive, message bill” is counter-productive in that it simply removes the state from participating in the refugee process.
“It doesn’t stop refugees from being resettled here. It doesn’t stop refugees that are resettled in other states from coming here,” McCoy said. “What it does say is Florida is going to wash its hands and close its eyes. We’re going to get rid of the very agency of the state that interacts with and oversees and helps these families integrate.” The measure, which must get through two additional committees, does not have a Senate version. The U.S. admitted 84,995 refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Burma, Iraq, Somalia, Bhutan, Iran, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Eritrea in the past federal fiscal year, according to the staff analysis. Florida received 2,983 of those refugees, who were forced to flee their home countries to escape war and persecution and cleared interviews and background checks conducted by the United Nations, the U.S.
State Department, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense. Florida also received 55,150 refugees through the Cuban/Haitian entrant program in the past fiscal year. Santiago’s measure continues the state’s efforts to separate itself from federal refugee programs. Gov. Rick Scott, following a coordinated November 2015 terrorist attack in Paris, wrote a letter to Congress asking to defund Syrian refugee placements without additional security checks. Last month, House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’Lakes, asked President Donald Trump for better cooperation with Washington on the issue. In a letter, Corcoran described refugee services as a “one-sided partnership” in which Florida and contractors have to follow federal directives.
NURSING HOMES FIGHT REPEAL OF KEY REGULATIONS By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
For the past two years, Florida lawmakers have debated eliminating controversial regulations on building or expanding hospitals. But as the 2017 legislative session prepares to start March 7, the debate about repealing what is known as the “certificate of need” regulatory process has expanded to include nursing homes and hospice facilities --- and has touched off a new wave of lobbying by industry groups. Officials with the Florida Health Care Association, which represents nursing homes across the state, said keeping the certificate-ofneed process for nursing facilities has become a top priority heading into the session. During a press briefing Monday, they said repealing the regulations on building new nursing homes would lead to more empty beds in long-established facilities, affecting the operations of those homes.
“We think eliminating CON would be extremely disruptive,” Bob Asztalos, the association’s chief lobbyist, said. But Gov. Rick Scott and some key lawmakers, including House Republican leaders, want to take a more freemarket approach to health care that includes eliminating certificates of need. The decadesold process involves hospitals, nursing homes and hospice operators needing to get approval from the state Agency for Health Care Administration before they can build facilities. A bill (HB 7) that would eliminate the process for all three types of health-care operations was approved in a 10-5 vote last week by the House Health Innovation Subcommittee. A similar bill (SB 676) has been filed in the Senate. “We know from 40 years of studying CON outcomes, it’s not an effective mechanism in controlling costs,” House bill sponsor Alex Miller, R-Sarasota, told the subcommittee in a room filled with healthcare lobbyists and industry officials. “We know it’s not an
effective mechanism for improving quality outcomes. And it’s certainly not an effective tool for improving access.” Certificates of need have long been controversial, and House leaders the past two years have sought to eliminate the process for hospitals. But the proposals have failed to pass, at least in part because of opposition in the Senate. But Scott, a former hospital executive, last month called for eliminating certificates of need for nursing homes and hospice facilities, along with hospitals, saying such a move would increase competition. “This will enable nursing homes, hospice services and hospitals to add needed beds without having to request a review,” Scott’s office said in outlining the proposal. “This will also allow Florida hospitals, nursing homes and hospice services to add facilities for those who are in most need, without making them wait due to red tape regulations.” Eliminating the process for nursing homes, however, would come after years of
policies that have helped hold down the number of nursing-home beds in the state. Lawmakers in 2001 approved a moratorium on certificates of need for new nursing homes. Supporters said limiting construction of nursing homes would spur efforts to provide more services to seniors in their communities. The moratorium was lifted in 2014, when lawmakers passed a measure to allow 3,750 nursing-home beds to be approved over a threeyear period. Nursing-home operators have received certificates of need for those beds in various parts of the state. While the House and Senate bills seek to end limits on new nursing homes, Asztalos said his association is offering a proposal that would allow up to 3,750 more nursing-home beds to be approved over the next three years while keeping the certificate-of-need process. Such an approach, he said, would meet needs for additional nursing-home beds in parts of the state. In arguing against eliminat-
FPL ACCELERATES PLANS TO ADD SOLAR POWER By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Florida’s largest electric utility intends to double its solar-energy plans for the coming year, leading solar proponents to praise the announcement --- and say they would like to see more. A month after outlining plans to build four solar plants this year, Florida Power & Light on Monday said it will put up eight such facilities by early 2018. The company anticipates the plants --- combining to create nearly 600 megawatts of power, enough for about 120,000 homes at peak production --will save customers “millions” over the lifetime of each center. FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy, who told regulators last year the company planned to increase its solar production as part of a settlement agreement that included $811 million in base-rate increases for customers, said Monday the company is advancing the plans as new facilities become more cost-effective. “By accelerating, we’re able to get much better (rates), from a standpoint of purchasing
power,” Silagy said. “When you go out and place an order for 2.5 million panels, you get a lot of interest and some very competitive pricing.” Monday’s announcement came as FPL officials were in Manatee County to commission the Manatee Solar Energy Center, which was one of three solar centers that came online Dec. 31. The others are the Babcock Ranch Solar Energy Center in Charlotte County and the Citrus Solar Energy Center in DeSoto County. Each of the recently completed 74.5-megawatt solar facilities --- the same output size as those planned to go up in the next year --- costs roughly $130 million to build. In 2009, FPL spent about $100 million for a 180-acre solar facility in DeSoto County that produces about 25 megawatts. “This is a very positive thing for all of us who are advocates of solar power,” said Stephen Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. “We have long been saying Florida is a phenomenal solar market and maintain that all investorowned utilities should be developing solar resources as
part of their planning process.” Yet, Smith said FPL should have more solar facilities in place, when its size is compared with other regional utilities. He also contended the company could potentially save customers more. By building plants under 75 megawatts, FPL doesn’t have to competitively bid each project as required by the state Power Plant Siting Act. “It’s possible that other solar developers could develop those projects even cheaper than FPL,” Smith said. On Jan. 13, FPL announced four new 74.5-megawatt solar centers would be built in Alachua, Putnam and DeSoto counties. The sites for the additional four plants are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, as permitting become final. Silagy said the company is trying to geographically locate plants throughout its service area, which covers most of the East Coast and across parts of Central and Southwest Florida. FPL estimates that each plant will require about 200 to 250 workers to build. Eric Draper, executive direc-
tor of Audubon Florida, praised “zero-emissions energy” produced by the solar panels. “An additional eight new solar energy centers is a major step toward reducing carbon emissions and saving water, benefitting the earth and all Floridians,” Draper said in a prepared statement. The FPL mid-January announcement followed Duke Energy Florida releasing plans for a solar power plant in Suwannee County. The Duke plant, scheduled to be online by the end of the year, will produce 8.8 megawatts of power, which would be enough for about 1,700 homes at peak production For FPL, the new plants opening by early 2018 will boost the company’s solar capacity to nearly 1,000 megawatts. Silagy said natural gas will continue to be used to produce the bulk of the company’s electricity, but FPL wants to expand solar as a way to diversify fuel sources. “We’re still going to use natural gas. People still want to still use air conditioners at night. They still want to watch TV,” Silagy said. “We’re still going to use zero-emissions

ing certificates of need, industry officials point to a potential impact on staffing as more nursing homes would compete for limited numbers of workers. Rob Greene, CEO of nursing-home operator Palm Garden Healthcare, said staffing would be “watered down” and affect quality of care. Greene, who took part in the press briefing, also said he is concerned new facilities would attract patients whose care is covered by Medicare, leaving lower-funded Medicaid patients in older nursing homes --- a concept known as “cherry picking.” But during last week’s subcommittee meeting, Miller tried to dispel concerns about eliminating certificates of need and said the state will need more nursing-home beds in the future. “We have to keep in mind that we have a major population growth problem,” Miller said. “We have 20 percent of the residents in this state that are over 65. It’s estimated that we will need 20,000 more beds in the next 20 years.”
nuclear power. Those plants have been operating safely now for four decades and produce power very affordably. What we’re not going to do, we’re not going to build any coal plants. And we’re not going to burn oil.” The Washington, D.C.based Solar Energy Industries Association, a national trade group, in September ranked the Sunshine State third among U.S. states for rooftop solar potential, but 14th for its cumulatively installed solar capacity, due in large part to solar policies. FPL became embroiled in controversy last year as it spent millions of dollars to support a proposed constitutional amendment on solar power. The proposed amendment, which voters rejected, sought to enshrine in the Florida Constitution existing rules regarding the use of solar energy by private property owners. Opponents, such as Smith’s Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, argued the proposal could have resulted in “discriminatory charges” against rooftop solar users and limit the desire of people to go solar.

Protein shakes have grown in popularity because they’re a convenient and healthy way to curb hunger and give your body sustained energy. Plus, they can give your favorite recipes a protein boost. When choosing a shake, look for an option such as Premier Protein Shakes, which can help provide fuel to make the day yours with sweet and savory recipes from cinnamon rolls and bread pudding to soups and twice-baked potatoes. Each singleserve, 160-calorie shake is packed with 30 grams of protein, is low in fat and contains just 1 gram of sugar. Explore more energy-boosting recipes plus nutrition facts and tips at PremierProtein.com or Facebook.com/PremierProtein.
Servings: 9 Rolls: 1 cup Premier Protein Caramel Shake 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) yeast 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided, plus additional for greasing bowl and pan 1/4 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons, divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for kneading and rolling 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon Glaze: 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 1 tablespoon Premier Protein Caramel Shake Heat protein shake in microwave or on stove to about 110 F, or warm to touch but not boiling. In medium bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm protein shake and stir to combine. Let sit 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and egg, and mix until well combined. Gradually add flour, stirring after each addition. Once dough is no longer too sticky to handle, turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead 3-5 minutes to make moderately soft dough. Shape dough into ball. Place dough in lightly greased bowl; turn once. Cover and let rise in warm place until size has doubled (about 1 hour). Punch dough down, cover and let rise 1 additional hour. Punch dough down. Grease 8-by-8-inch glass or metal baking dish and set aside. In separate bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Using pastry brush, brush about 1 1/2 tablespoons of remaining butter evenly over dough. Sprinkle 2/3 of cinnamon sugar mixture over dough. Using pizza cutter or knife, cut dough into nine even 12-inch strips. Roll each strip tightly, sealing ends by pressing into dough. Arrange rolls in prepared pan. Pour remaining butter over buns then sprinkle remaining cinnamon and sugar on top. Let rise uncovered 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350 F. Bake rolls 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned. While rolls cool slightly, prepare glaze. In small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and protein shake until smooth. Drizzle rolls with glaze. Serve warm.
