More rehearsals followed and on Monday, October 27th, three chartered buses pulled out for Cape Cod. There, the troupe settled into the Seacrest Hotel and ran through three additional days of rehearsal in the hotel's indoor tennis court.
The tour opened October 30th on a cold, damp New England night in Plymouth, advertised only by handbills that included a photo of Dylan and by random radio mentions in Boston. The 1800-seat Plymouth Memorial Auditorium sold out but it took almost 24 hours to do so. But it was evident in the opening moments of the show that this crazy-quilt tour and its music — "the new sound is Plymouth rock," was an often heard comment — was working. It seemed that the pre-tour tensions between Neuwirth's gin-soaked, good-timey camaraderie and musical director Rob Stoner's slick professionalism had been resolved into a balanced mixture of sound.
"Welcome to your living room," Neuwirth announced onstage, and it was true. There was none of the forced ambiance of the last Dylan tour with its sofas and Tiffany lamps onstage. All the tour participants — Elliott, Blakley, McGuinn, Neuwirth, Baez, Dylan — got their moment in the spotlight, in front of the basic band of Mick Ronson, T-Bone Burnette, Stoner and Soles. After Elliott's four-song set, Neuwirth introduced "another old friend" and Dylan ambled onstage in a black leather jacket, jeans and the Pat Garrett hat. The audience gave him a warm welcome, but there was little surprise in the air. Dylan and Neuwirth opened with a slow version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece," Dylan singing harmony and Neuwirth taking the lead.
They harmonized on "It Ain't Me, Babe" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," and then Neuwirth left and Dylan brought out violinist Scarlet Rivera to lead the band through "Durango." Then it was Dylan alone to sing "Isis" — no guitar, no accompaniment, just Dylan at the mike gesturing dramatically as he told the story of the goddess. "See you in a few minutes," he said, and went off to a standing ovation.
After a short intermission, the curtain crawled slowly up to the strains of Dylan and Joan Baez singing "The Times They Are a-Changin'." After "Never Let Me Go" (an old Johnny Ace tune) and "I Shall Be Released," Dylan left, patting Baez on the head and leaving her to do a seven-song set. Roger McGuinn took her place for "Chestnut Mare" and then gave the stage back to Dylan for "Mr. Tambourine Man" and, from the next album, "Oh, Sister."
"This is," said Dylan, "a song about Rubin Carter," and behind him a screen slowly whirred to the floor and the band went into "Hurricane," the single that would be released the next day — October 31st. A huge picture of Carter in boxing gear was projected onto the screen and that was the extent of Dylan's comment on the song. "One More Cup of Coffee" was next and then Dylan broke into "Sara," a bittersweet song to his wife:
I'd taken the cure
And had just gotten through
Staying up for days
In the Chelsea Hotel,
Writing 'Sad-Eyed Lady
of the Lowlands' for you
Sara oh Sara
Wherever we travel
We're never a part
Sara oh Sara
Beautiful lady
So dear to my heart*
He wound it up with "Just Like a Woman" and then the entire cast gathered for "This Land Is Your Land," with even Allen Ginsberg joining in. The three-hour show was over, the audience responded with a ten-minute standing ovation. The second Plymouth show, again a sellout, drew a quieter crowd, one almost polite toward its elders onstage. The show was virtually the same except for the substitution of "I Don't Believe You" for "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Mama, You've Been on My Mind" instead of "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll."
From Plymouth, the buses and campers rolled on to North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, to Southeastern Massachusetts University. The crowd of 3000 had been prepped. A week before, an advance party, accompanied by the ever present camera crew, descended on the dorms at 10 p.m. to pass out Rolling Thunder handbills.
The night before the buses rolled, Dylan had been sitting in the bar of the Gramercy Park Hotel, sipping Remy Martin. He was asked by someone on the tour why it was called Rolling Thunder. Dylan thought for a minute. "I was just sitting outside my house one day," he finally replied, "thinking about a name for this tour, when all of a sudden, I look up into the sky and I hear a boom. Then, boom, boom, boom, boom, rolling from west to east" — Dylan punched at the air, like a prizefighter — "then I figured that should be the name."
Dylan got another drink and the questioner asked him: "You know what Rolling Thunder means to the Indians?"
"No. What?"
"Speaking truth."
A pause. Dylan shifted his hat and rocked back. "Well, I'm glad to hear that. I'm real glad to hear that, man."

Seminoles Practice in Shells in Preparation for Hurricanes
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- No. 4 Florida State Seminoles continued preparation for their matchup with Miami on Saturday with an 18-period practice in shells (shoulder pads, helmet and shorts) this afternoon.
The team began the session with work on kickoffs and kickoff returns and followed with work against the scout team. They did not run 11-on-11 drills today.
"We feel like we're ready with the extra week of practice," said head coach Bobby Bowden. "We're further along than normal, it's just a matter of executing."
"The ones (players) that were beat up last week are much better this week."
Dee Feaster (bruised ribs) was cleared to play on Saturday and Bowden said he will start at tailback with Davy Ford as the backup.
"We simply have not tried to win a game running," commented Bowden. "We've got the skill to run downfield if we can get the ball to our receivers. I realize there's going to be a day that we've got to run."
INJURY REPORT: Davy Ford-rt. hip flexor strain; Samari Rolle-right thumb sprain. Greg Spires, who is recovering from a stress fracture of the fibula, will be x-rayed on Friday and re-evaluated by team doctors. His status will be a game time decision.
The Seminoles will practice again tomorrow afternoon. Saturday's game against Miami is scheduled to kick-off at 12:00 p.m. in Doak Campbell Stadium and will be nationally televised by ABC.

Three-Time Diving National Champion Mike Shaw Named Second-Team Academic All-American
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.
, June 14, 2005 – Springfield College junior
Mike Shaw (Westfield, Mass.)
was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America College Division Men's At-Large Second Team, Tuesday (June 14), as voted upon by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Shaw capped one of the most exceptional seasons by a SC diver this past winter, garnering National Champion honors on both the 1- and 3-meter boards at the NCAA Division III Championships. Named the National Diver of the Year, he led the Pride to ninth place out of 63 teams for SC's highest finish ever at the meet.
Already a six-time All-American, Shaw also won the 3-meter national title in 2004, while finishing runner-up in one-meter. In 2003, he finished third on the one-meter board and sixth in the three-meter competition.
Shaw was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Diver of the Year for the third-straight season after sweeping both diving events at the conference championship for the third-consecutive season. SC also won its first NEWMAC Championship in 2005.
Named a second-team All-District I selection in 2004 and a first-team honoree this season, Shaw owns a 3.84 GPA in the physical therapy program at SC.

Strip-mining the grassroots for GCI and MoveOn--MoveOn must act!
by artichoke88, Tue Sep 12, 2006 at 06:25:06 AM EDT
Last week, Grassroots Campaigns Inc's DCCC canvassers in Madison, Wisconsin protested because they were not earning minimum wage--after a bunch of blogs on the right and the left picked up on the story, the DCCC cancelled its contract with GCI.
But the lack of a living wage is just the beginning of the problems with GCI's operations. As Greg Bloom wrote in his series on MoveOn PAC's Leave No Voter Behind campaign, GCI's model has caused severe damage in the field because of a "crisis of leadership" in its management. A veteran of MoveOn/GCI's Operation Democracy read Greg's post and passed it to me, and together with a number of other veterans--we call ourselves the MOFOs, the MoveOn Field Organizers--I feel that it's imperative to show that the crisis continues. In Martin's post yesterday, a couple of people asked what our motives are: it's to expose the ways that GCI is failing its organizers AND failing to run an effective campaign for MoveOn. At the end of the week, we will post a set of recommendations of actions that MoveOn can take to begin to resolve this crisis. If you find our stories compelling, and you agree this issue must be addressed by MoveOn, please send an email to Eli Pariser (email@example.com) and cc us at firstname.lastname@example.com (or contact us there directly, and we will update you with further information about how you can send a message to MoveOn).
My name is Kelly Nagy - I've worked on numerous environmental and social justice campaigns, as well as local community issues and Senate electoral campaigns. I was the National Director of the Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) for almost 3 years.
With all this experience, my first interview with Grassroots Campaigns, in May of 2005, went really well - it even seemed to me like I had just been hired. But in total, the interview process with GCI took almost two months.
In the next several phone calls, the tone of the directors who interviewed me changed -- I was being questioned sometimes for an hour or two each week. They were asking open-ended questions about hypothetical management scenarios that seemed pretty odd to me -- and finally three weeks later I lost patience asked them why I was being put through all the questions. They said, 'we still haven't decided if we're going to hire you, because you were affiliated with SEAC.' I had no idea why that would be a problem. He told me that SEAC is critical of Green Corps, and referred to an article in SEAC 's magazine called Threshold, that exposed Green Corps' policies, and he told me 'this is really hurting our consideration of you.' SEAC is critical of Green Corps--SEAC disapproves of their organizing model because it openly neglects issues of race and class among other things--but I didn't see why that should matter in my employment. I said to him that if they were going to pull up an article published by an organization for which I was not even working at the time of its publication, and question whether I'm appropriate for their position, then it's a position I didn't want.
I didn't hear from them for a while -- it was the first week of July when I got the call that I had been waiting for: a job offer. I had to go to Boston within 3 days.
The director would later tell me on many occasions that he made the wrong decision in hiring me. In retrospect, I can't believe I made the decision to take the job in the first place. But all I wanted in life was to make organizing a career -- and I was such a fan of what MoveOn had done, and I was dying to take on Rick Santorum (R-PA), which they said I would get to do--and they were presenting this as a long-term career opportunity at least through November of 2008. Plus, I'd already quit my other job in the middle of June, back when I'd thought I'd been hired.
The training was...well, on one hand it didn't seem like a Green Corps training, because I've met some amazing Green Corps organizers, and this training was disorganized and poorly-planned, with hardly any materials and awful workshops. On the other hand, it had that certain cultish vibe of Green Corps - this sense of total singlemindedness, an elimination of all dissonant thought... For instance, a few of us hires with more experience were assigned to go talk to less-experienced trainees, to ask them how they were feeling about the training - and then I was appalled to find that GCI used the information we found to actually fire people right there! Several others dropped out because they didn't like the tactics that GCI was using.
But the training was very good at getting us all pumped up and ready to do anything, ready to triumph for democracy - and we wanted the challenge, thrived on the challenge. When I left the training, I already suspected that GCI was going to fail me as an organizer - because I felt the distress behind their tactics, and the total lack of interest in us as individuals. But I felt really hopeful about the campaign, because I respected MoveOn's work and their potential.
We were originally supposed to contact, connect, and form the MoveOn members into teams in key districts where congressional Republicans were vulnerable. Many of the volunteers who I initially organized were the ones I formed a personal connection with and we depended on. They all thought it was so important that there were paid MoveOn organizers in their district trying to help them take on their local representative.
But in October 2005, GCI flew us back to Boston for a second round of training, and announced that MoveOn changed plans. We were now targeting media markets instead of particular precincts that were related to specific races...this made sense with respect to our strategy of doing media events - we could now focus our efforts to get more "hits" by local news outlets. But a side affect was that we ended up abandoning or dismantling those teams that were ready to work for the progressive candidates in their district.
Now we were supposed to convince our best team leaders to form "committees" of the team leaders from their entire area. We would basically teach them how to do our jobs - in theory this is great, that's the idea of organizing, to create self-sustainable activists. But we hadn't put nearly enough time in yet - hardly more than 2 months! - and most of my volunteers were really put off. I'd had to convince some of them to be team leaders in the first place, and now here I was pressuring them to sign contracts to be basically full-time field organizers! But I had deadlines to fill, and numbers to make - so these people with whom I'd bonded I had to keep pushing to do more of what they didn't want to do.
According to GCI, if they really didn't want to do it, we didn't need them any more. If they weren't willing to step up, they were useless.
There's something really important to note about this time: we were pressuring our volunteers to "kick it up a notch"at the same time that we were shifting the goal posts! We weren't really targeting Santorum or other specific representatives any more - we were just trying to "get press." None of the volunteers liked the change of targets. They wanted to be concrete. They wanted to focus on their districts. They all quickly saw through the media events thing-- if we were getting MoveOn's name into the newspaper, GCI said our campaign was a success, but the volunteers just didn't buy that for long. They felt like we were just doing PR work for MoveOn and GCI.
And I couldn't convince them otherwise--it was hard to believe otherwise myself. As far as GCI was concerned, the only thing that mattered was the number of news "hits." It didn't matter if the events were covered well by the media, or what the media was saying about it, or what our volunteers thought about it. After every event, we'd spend hours giving a deep report: how many people showed up, how many newsmakers called, how many confirmed they would be there, how many showed, how many articles printed? I understand the concepts of accountability, and monitoring the work. Doing numbers regularly is fine with me--but between all of the spreadsheet work and calls and conference calls, GCI's monitoring obsession cost each organizer two hours of work a day that did not go towards furthering the campaign in any way. They did not hide from us why they really wanted it. They kept telling us, "these numbers are for accountability"--but anyone can fudge the numbers, and all the organizers did, since we all knew that the only thing that meant success to GCI was having these numbers so that they could go sell their model again.
All the time, we'd hear how incredible the Leave No Voter Behind campaign's numbers were, and how much money the DNC canvass made in 2004. Half a million votes, twenty two million dollars - we heard them all the time. I wasn't surprised at all to read that those numbers were as much bullshit as ours.
Our goal as organizers was to build a progressive grassroots network that was going to change the face of liberal politics; MoveOn just wanted its name in the paper (they had this lovely saying that bad press is still good press); GCI's goal was to sell its numbers.
So the MOFOs were coming and quitting very quickly -- of course, the MoveOn members were noticing and they would get discouraged. When the volunteers were left without their recent Field Organizer who just quit or got fired, they were left without the ability to contact anyone else on the campaign (MoveOn's site is useless in this way). What happened to the MoveOn Minute Taker happens all the time -- people put in all this work, and then just get left behind. The whole thing ends up disenfranchising their grassroots.
But all along, I made all GCI's deadlines, and got their damn numbers. In the end, they fired me because I stood up for basic worker rights. GCI was reimbursing us for 12 cents a mile of driving. I took issue with that from the second day I was on the job, when I mentioned it to the GCI director, in a private conversation--I said, '12c a mile is not acceptable, it's not even going to cover gas in many places'. With everything else that kept falling out of our pockets all the time, most organizers just accepted getting screwed--but I wouldn't let this go. The IRS says that we should be reimbursed 40.5 cents a mile. So I kept pushing the point, contacting all of the other Field Organizers - and almost every one of the Field Organizers began to speak up about it. Myself and a few others took it directly to MoveOn, and asked if it was true that they would not reimburse us for gas. At that point, GCI finally changed the policy to 21c a mile.
They fired me two days later.
At this point, I realized that during all those weeks of interviews, when they were asking me all kinds of nagging questions, they were just trying to find out if I would be a team player, who would accept everything without questioning anything -- in GCI's words, 'if I would eat dirt.' If they hadn't fired me, I wonder how long I would have kept eating it.
When they fired me, more than five hundred dollars of my out of pocket expenses did not get reimbursed. I was handed off and lied to and avoided for months. At one point, their finance people said they sent the checks and that I had cashed them -- and as proof, they sent me photocopies of the backs of two old checks that had been cashed months prior. After that point, my calls were never answered again. And since then, everyone I've heard from who quit has said that they didn't see the end of their money.
One of the big questions among all of the MOFOs was about how much MoveOn knew about the outrageous working conditions. Communication with MoveOn was pretty much nonexistent -- we worked entirely through our field coordinators at GCI. There was a web-survey page that supposedly went straight to MoveOn, but at some point that got re-routed to GCI. MoveOn didn't really want to work directly with us -- that's what GCI was for, I guess. But this is very much MoveOn's campaign in any way -- its' history that we were selling, its' members we were burning through, and GCI really wasn't in a position to answer in MoveOn's capacity. Nor did they care to be.
It has been almost a year since I was fired, and I still feel like I never want to organize professionally again. GCI didn't wear me out, I wasn't burned out, I ran a major national organization for years -I can do hard work and manage hundreds of people. I could have kept working. No - I felt violated by this job.
MoveOn had better start caring --not only about what GCI is doing to its volunteers, but also how it is draining a generation of progressive activists. I repeat myself -- MoveOn had better start caring. And if I can help force it to do so, I'll consider that five hundred dollars an investment in the progressive movement.

Leading the program is violinist/conductor Cho-Liang "Jimmy" Lin.
Lin is a world class violin soloist, recording artist and the artistic director of the La Jolla Chamber Music Festival. He talks about the San Antonio program, how he began conducting, and the importance of teaching.
Do we think of doctors as gods? Do they think it? If so, what does it mean when doctors fail or have an unexpected outcome?

A bill requiring higher standards for abortion providers has made it out of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services and is now on the senate floor for full review.
The discussion on the matter of requiring abortion providers to have a similar setup as surgical office quickly escalated from a civil conversation to a yelling match between the author of the bill, Sen. Bob Duell, R-Greenville, and Virginia Brawn, who owns a North Texas women's clinic.
One of the possible solutions for solving issues with school finance is consolidating school districts; HB 2542 would study possible Bexar County school district consolidation. Even though Gov.

Couple adopts one dog, ends up with 14
- Last Updated on 08:14 AM 08/23/12
- BY Doug Ford
David Martin and Tracy Quackenbush Martin call themselves animal lovers, but the Crystal Hill couple went beyond the call of duty recently becoming "grandparents" to 13 puppies, courtesy of a "dumpster dog" they named Penny.
They discovered Penny on Father's Day, collar-less, abandoned, infested with ticks, worms, and, by the way, she was also pregnant.
How pregnant they found out in July when Penny, who the couple said appears to be a mix of terrier and lab, gave birth to 13 puppies.
"She was very, very bony and malnourished, but she's become very responsive and just a sweet dog," recalled David Martin.
"She was very frightened of people and cowered at the slightest movement."
Twelve puppies survived, including three males and nine females, and the couple bottle-fed the pups for a time after the first week, two hours, three times a day.
"The vet said to supplement mom after the first week," explained Quackenbush Martin.
"After four weeks we stopped bottle-feeding them and introduced them to regular food," she added, a mixture of canned puppy food and cottage cheese, before regular dog food was added.
The couple has become accustomed to having a lot of dogs around, noted Quackenbush Martin, whose dog Chelsea, adopted from an animal shelter, had a litter of nine puppies. One of the puppies, Bear, still lives with the couple along with mom.
One wonders how someone as busy as this couple can afford the time to care for 15 dogs.
David Martin serves as administrative captain for the Halifax County Sheriff's Office, while Quackenbush Martin is a well-known Halifax attorney.
"It takes a lot of focus, attention and love," explained Quackenbush Martin, as she and her husband rounded up the group after an early afternoon romp.
"The time demands are enormous," said Martin, adding, "Tracy coordinates the schedule effectively. The rewards of these guys make it really worth it. We're really going to miss them a lot when they're gone."
"They want love and attention…and lots of food," said Quackenbush Martin, who added the mother is extremely young herself.
"She's a sweet dog, and the vet told us she's barely a year old," noted Quackenbush Martin. "We forget that. It's funny when we started to get toys for the puppies, she wanted to play with them, too."
The Martins have found homes for some of the litter but are looking for homes for several more.
"Just call my office at 476-1128 if you're interested," she said.

Mike Mastovich
His playing career ended three years ago, but former AAABA League star Michael Ryan has advanced through the Pittsburgh Pirates organization at a rapid pace away from the field.
Ryan was named manager of the Pirates' Class A West Virginia Power in Charleston, W.Va., on Friday. The Pirates added him to the minor league system as a coach with the Altoona Curve last season.
"It's what I wanted to be whenever I got into coaching. I wanted to become a manager," Ryan said during a Wednesday telephone interview from Bradenton, Fla., where he's attending an organizational meeting. "I thought that was going to be a long process. To be able to start out so soon makes me feel so good about what the Pirates think I can accomplish to help the organization."
Ryan played parts of five seasons in the major leagues – four with the Minnesota Twins and briefly with the Los Angeles Angels – and had a 15-year professional career as both an outfielder and infielder.
He'll need that experience.
"As a manager you have to know everything about everything whether it's a bunt play, or a first-to-third defensive play, or where to play a guy when a hitter is at the plate," Ryan said. "Whatever it is, you have to know it.
"On top of that you have to get your lineup together. You have to know who's pitching that day, who is lined up in the bullpen. It's got to be a schedule even during the game. It's a lot of busy work but if they didn't think I could handle it I don't think they would have put me in this position."
Last season Ryan coached first base coach for then-Curve manager P.J. Forbes. Jeff Johnson, Altoona's pitching coach a year ago, will rejoin Ryan in West Virginia. Former Bucs standout Orlando Merced is the Power's hitting coach.
"I'm so excited to be a Pirate," Ryan said. "2013 is going to be a great year. You can see the belief and the conviction of what they're saying.
"The people that the Pirates have here in the system, the front office, the owner, all the minor league staff, everything that their belief is, is everything I believe in," he added. "I'm all in."
An Indiana High School graduate who stood out in both football and baseball, Ryan made Johnstown his second baseball home during the summer of 1995 and part of 1996.
His strong ties to former AAABA League manager and GM Dee Dee Osborne continue today as Ryan frequently calls and visits Osborne, the Johnstown High coach.
In 1995, Ryan was named the AAABA League's top rookie position player while starring on Osborne's Moxham Bank team. The next season, he was off to a spectacular start with Principle Development in Johnstown until signing with the Twins, who selected him in the fifth round of the June 1996 draft.
"Mike was a special player," Osborne said. "Mike had his sights set for the big leagues as a player, and he did it. He became a coach last season and now he's managing. I think some day you'll see him coaching in the big leagues."
Ryan's major league career as a player might have been relatively brief in terms of games played, but he made an impression and even became the answer to a trivia question.
In his major league debut on Sept. 19, 2002, Ryan led off the game with a single and later drove in a pair of runs as the Twins batted around in a nine-run first inning against the Detroit Tigers. Ryan also scored twice in the first inning at Comerica Park.
But the historic start to Ryan's career was washed away when rain postponed the game before the top of the third inning. None of the statistics officially counted, and in one of those cruel baseball twists, Ryan went 0-for-4 in his official MLB debut against the White Sox the next day at Comiskey Park.
"Mike didn't have an easy road at all," Osborne said.
Ryan's major league totals included 149 games, a .258 career batting average, 18 doubles, seven homers and 35 RBIs. In 2003, he batted .393 with five homers and 13 RBIs in 27 games with the Twins.
The former AAABA League slugger also played 1,405 minor league games and had a .270 batting average with 156 homers and 753 RBIs.
Overall, he appeared in 1,554 professional games.
"I've been to so many different places, played for so many different people and had relationships with so many players," Ryan said. "I have a pretty good idea of what I like, what my coaches did, what I didn't like. I'd ask my teammates what they would prefer when we were playing together. Because I played so long I feel I can use that to my advantage.
"I know what players feel in certain situations. The No. 1 thing is I know how hard the game of baseball is and I think that will take me a long way."
Ryan's ability to adapt should serve him well as a manager. He began his career as a third baseman in the Twins organization, later was moved to second base and finally settled in as an outfielder.
"Whatever Mike's done, he's done on his own with his own ability and will power," Osborne said. "He fought the odds."
After leaving the Twins, Ryan spent time in the Atlanta Braves, Florida Marlins and Pirates systems. In 2010, he signed with the Los Angeles Angels, spending most of the year at Class AAA, but playing in his final 22 major league games when the Angels battled the injury bug.
His resiliency showed in 2008, when Ryan spent part of the season with the independent Somerset (N.J.) Patriots in the Atlantic League. He received encouragement from a former AAABA Tournament alum, Sparky Lyle. As manager of the Patriots, the ex-New York Yankees reliever helped Ryan get his swing back, which eventually led to his signing with the Marlins.
His time with the Curve also has been valuable.
"I learned a ton of stuff," Ryan said. "I was fortunate to be with a great manager, a great pitching coach and a great hitting coach. I took pieces of what they did and they let me almost come up with my own style. P.J. Forbes was great. He taught me what to do at times and what not to do at times."

Campaign for Fiscal Equity: A Project of ELC
ELC has undertaken the core mission of the Campaign for Fiscal Equity (CFE) to advance the legal rights of all New York schoolchildren to a sound basic and quality education under state and federal law. ELC's CFE Project advocates for prompt implementation of adequate and equitable school funding to comply with New York's constitutional mandate. The CFE Project also advocates for high quality early childhood education and researches other key issues affecting educational opportunity.
CFE was founded in 1993 by a coalition of concerned parents seeking to reform New York State's school finance system. That year, CFE filed a lawsuit claiming that the State underfunded New York City's public schools and thus denied its students their constitutional right to the opportunity for a sound basic education.
In 1995, New York's highest court, the Court of Appeals, ruled that CFE made a constitutionally valid claim and remanded the case for trial. In 2003, the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's ruling that the State's school funding system violated New York City schoolchildren's constitutional right to a sound basic education, which it defined as the "opportunity for a meaningful high school education, one which prepares them to function productively as civic participants." The Court set a deadline in 2004 for the State to enact a remedy, but the State missed that deadline.
In 2006, after a compliance hearing, the Court of Appeals delivered the case's final ruling, confirming that the state must provide its children with the opportunity for a sound basic education. In this landmark case, CFE v. State of New York, the court explicated the State's constitutional obligation to provide essential resources to all public school children.
Although the CFE decision focused on New York City, the Governor and Legislature recognized their constitutional obligation to all children in the state with the passage of statewide funding reform in April 2007 (Education Budget and Reform Act of 2007).The law enacted a Foundation Aid Formula designed to ensure adequacy and equity in state school funding by establishing a relationship between state aid, the needs of students and a district's ability to raise revenue. It provided for a four-year phase-in of state aid to reach full funding of the formula. The legislation also introduced accountability provisions in its "contracts for excellence," in order to ensure that the money provided was well spent.
Recent Developments
In the first two years, the NY Legislature provided installments of the Foundation Aid Formula totaling $2.3 billion. However, in 2009, aid was frozen at 37.5% of the four-year target, and aid was cut by $2.7 billion in 2010 and 2011. The cut was achieved through a mechanism called the Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA), which seeks to balance the state's overall budget by reducing state school aid.
In addition to the GEA, Governor Cuomo and the Legislature adopted a budget maneuver that prevents full funding of the 2007 Foundation Aid Formula: the Personal Income Growth Index (PIGI) Cap, commonly referred to as the cap on state school aid. This cap has the effect of relegating moderate and high need districts to long-term underfunding, thereby ensuring that compliance with the state's constitutional obligations for students in those districts will never be fulfilled. Furthermore, it locks existing inequities in place and exacerbates those inequities.
Current Issues
The 2012-13 budget widened the gap between the 2007 formula and actual state funding for New York's schools. The shortfall now tops $5.5 billion dollars. As the Board of Regents noted in its November 2012 State Aid Conceptual Proposal, this shortfall, together with the accumulated GEA cuts, brings the total funding gap to over $7.7 billion. Current school funding is below 2008-09 levels. As a result of these reductions and restrictions, essential school resources are disappearing from classrooms in New York City and throughout the state. Districts are being forced to dramatically increase class sizes, eliminate courses and reduce or cut services for at-risk students, along with other vital programs and resources.
In 2008, plaintiff schoolchildren, parents, and small city school districts filed Hussein v. State and asked the court to apply the state constitutional principles as applied in CFE v. State to their school districts. They allege that their districts, which serve high percentages of disadvantaged students, have inadequate funding to provide the opportunity for a sound basic education. In their amended complaint, plaintiffs also complain of the state's failure to fund their school districts even to the level of the 2007 CFE remedy. In 2012, the Court of Appeals allowed the case to proceed. The parties are preparing for trial.
Significant Cases
C.F.E. v. State (1995) Read More
In 1995, New York's Court of Appeals held that the state constitutional right to a sound basic education means an education that enables students to function productively as civic participants capable of voting and serving on a jury. The Court also ruled that the CFE plaintiffs made a valid constitutional claim and could proceed to trial. [86 N.Y.2d 307 (NY 1995)]
C.F.E. v. State (2001) Read More
In 2001, the NY Supreme Court decision after trial found that the State violated the constitutional rights of New York City schoolchildren because it denied them the opportunity to obtain a sound basic education. [187 Misc.2d 1 (Sup. Ct. New York County, 2001)]
C.F.E. v. State (2002) Read More
In 2002, the Appellate Division, First Department, reversed the NY Supreme Court decision, holding that all that is required for a sound basic education are eighth or ninth-grade skills. [295 A.D.2d 1 (1st Dep't, 2002)]
C.F.E. v. State (2003) Read More
In 2003, the Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division and upheld the trial court's order, finding that a sound basic education means a "meaningful high school education." The Court clarified that civic participation means the ability to vote and serve on a jury "capably and knowledgeably," and that a sound basic education must also prepare students to compete for jobs that would enable them to support themselves. The Court ordered the state to: (1) ascertain the actual cost of providing a sound basic education; (2) reform the funding system so that every school in New York has the resources to provide the opportunity for a sound basic education; and (3) establish an accountability system that ensures reforms actually provide this opportunity. The Court gave the State a 2004 deadline to implement the measures. [100 N.Y.2d 893 (NY 2003)]
C.F.E. v. State (2006) Read More
After additional proceedings in the courts below, in 2006, the Court of Appeals reiterated its position that the State has a constitutional obligation to provide New York's students with a sound basic education, understood as a meaningful high school education, and that the State must increase funding for New York City public schools. The Court upheld the State's position that an additional $1.93 billion in state operating aid is an appropriate constitutional minimum for New York City. [8 N.Y.3d 14 (NY 2006)]

The Port Arthur News
With less than a year to get their health insurance benefits in gear, employers of all sizes and kinds have some options to consider in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act.
A plethora of employers gathered at Ford Park Thursday morning to hear what would be expected of them come January 2014. Den Bishop, president of Holmes Murphy & Associates, a Dallas-based health care consulting company, gave a presentation Thursday about the options available to employers with the Affordable Care Act.
Lorenzo Fitch, vice president of BGI Contractors, said Bishop's presentation was "enlightening," but he thought that many more similar seminars would be necessary to ease employers through the transition.
"This is what we're going to be confronted with, so there's going to have be a greater understanding of how this whole process works," he said. "It is complicated."
Currently, BGI Contractors provides their employees with health insurance, Fitch said. But he was not sure what the company would do with this new information.
"I'm going have to do some personal research" to see what would benefit both the company and its employees, he said.
As it stands, the Affordable Care Act requires every state to participate in an electronic health care exchange — a website devoted to providing available insurance options. But Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and many other states have decided not to use state resources to run the exchange and will allow the federal government to operate it, Bishop said.
"How's it going to be terrible? It's a website. It's not evil," he said. "It just is what it is."
The exchange must be up and operational by Jan. 1, 2014, so that people could log online, enter their names and addresses, and be able to locate rates and insurance options available in their areas, Bishop said.
For employers, the act requires them to provide health insurance if they have 50 or more full-time employees, Bishop said. Full-time employees work 30 hours a week or more. If a company only employs on a part-time basis, it would need to add up the hours worked and divide by 30 to determine if the company is required to provide coverage.
If the business employs 50 or more full-time employees but does not want to offer insurance, then it would be required to pay a $2,000-penalty per employee, Bishop said. But the company gets the first 30 employees for free.
Remember: Affordable care is the name of the game.
If an employer offers coverage that is not affordable to an individual — costing more than 9.5 percent of a person's annual income — then that individual ends up using the exchange to purchase health insurance, and the employer must pay a $3,000-penalty per employee who resorts to the exchange, Bishop said.
The question for employers is two-pronged: What would be the most cost effective — paying the penalties or providing coverage? And what would be the best option for the employees?
"It's a real dilemma that the employers are going to have to think through this year," Bishop said.
If employers provide coverage for a single person that costs less than 9.5 percent of a person's annual income, then neither that person nor that person's family would be eligible to subsidize through the exchange, Bishop said. And the employer would receive no penalty.
The act determines eligibility on an individual basis and does not consider the most cost effective analysis for families. Even if people get their employer insurance, it may still cost them more if they elect to use that coverage for their spouses and children than if they were to use the exchange, Bishop said.
"We're going to have to evolve the law," he said.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 158 million Americans acquired insurance through their employers in 2013. Its projection for 2022 was just a million less people: 157 million Americans.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu presided for the first time over his third
government Monday evening, holding a cabinet meeting in his office shortly after
the ministers were sworn in at the Knesset.
At its first session, the
cabinet approved a seven-man security cabinet – much smaller than the outgoing
15- member body – that is empowered to deal with the country's critical national
security issues.
In addition to the five ministers who must by law be
part of that key forum – Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Public
Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch, Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Justice
Minister Tzipi Livni – two other ministers were brought in: Economy and Trade
Minister Naftali Bennett and Communications and Home Front Defense Minister
Gilad Erdan.
The cabinet also selected its Shin Bet (Israel Security
Agency) oversight committee, which in addition to the five permanent members of
the security cabinet will now include International Affairs Minister Yuval
Two other pressing matters of business were the approval of an
extension to pass a budget and a bill to extend the tenure of the current chief
rabbis by another four months, during which time new elections for their
positions will be held.
Late Monday night, in agreement with the
opposition, the ministers unanimously passed a timetable for a new 2013 budget,
according to a Finance Ministry spokesperson.
Lapid had intended to
introduce a bill requesting to expand the 45- day deadline up to a 120 days, but
faced opposition from Labor. Instead, the agreement, to be read in the full
Knesset on Tuesday, gives the government 85 days to submit the budget and 50
days to pass it through the required three readings before lawmakers, meaning
the final budget must be in play by August.
Netanyahu opened the cabinet
meeting by saying he was moved at presiding over the first meeting of his third
"This is not something that is a given; nothing here is a given,
and the heavy responsibility is now on all of us," he said. "The responsibility
and the privilege."
Of the three governments he has headed, Netanyahu
said, he did not remember a more challenging period in terms of the potential
dangers, on the one hand, or a period of more opportunities, on the
"I think we can answer all the challenges," he said.
are starting a new government today and also clearing the table, placing all the
divisions to the side."
Netanyahu praised his new ministers as being
fresh, experienced and talented, and said the only way to succeed would be
through cooperation and unity.
Lapid said at the beginning of the meeting
that he was keyed up.
"On his first day in the Knesset my father [Tommy
Lapid] bought himself a briefcase," he said. "I have come with that briefcase
and am very excited."
Bennett said the current government presented many
opportunities and that he was enthusiastic. Livni said that a way would be found
to move the diplomatic process forward.
"I hope we will do good," she
The cabinet also approved the appointment of the following deputy
ministers: Ophir Akunis (Likud Beytenu) as deputy minister for liaison with the
Knesset; Eli Ben-Dahan (Bayit Yehudi) as deputy religious services minister;
Danny Danon (Likud Beytenu) as deputy defense minister; Ze'ev Elkin (Likud
Beytenu) as deputy foreign minister; Tzipi Hotovely (Likud Beytenu) as deputy
transportation minister; Faina Kirschenbaum (Likud Beytenu) as deputy interior
minister; Mickey Levy (Yesh Atid) as deputy welfare and social services
minister; and Avraham Wortzman (Bayit Yehudi) as deputy education
Following the meeting, the ministers went to the President's
Residence for the traditional group picture.

The Ridgefield Theater Barn will hold open auditions for Word Around Town 4: An Evening of Original Poetry on Sunday, September 23rd 12-2pm, and Monday, September 24th, 7-9pm. The show itself, co-directed by Patti Azzara and Katy Curtis, and produced by Marla Manning, will be presented Sunday, December 16th at 7pm.
This popular event has become a creative mainstay on the Barn calendar because of the refreshing contributions of original verse from the minds of local wordsmiths. Each Word Around Town event, though similar in format and style, is re-imagined by the directors, based on the participants and the themes that emerge. Ms. Azzara and Ms. Curtis, poets themselves, hopes this evening of free-form and prose will continue to encourage self-expression through the poetic arts, while also promoting local artists and their craft.
Those auditioning are asked to bring 4 or 5 short pieces, preferably performed from memory; additional pieces may also be submitted for consideration. All poems (up to 10) should be typed, one poem per page. Preference will be given to free-form poetry and pieces without heavily rhymed line endings. Please wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move well. Poems must be your own original work; not interested in Poe, Keats, or Dickinson, etc. Previously published work is allowed.
For additional details visit ridgefieldtheaterbarn.org or contact Ms. Azzara at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ms. Curtis at email@example.com

Watch Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Live Stream Online. Despite matching their regular-season loss total from all of last year with a home defeat in Week 1, the Green Bay Packers aren't about to panic.
VIDEO STREAM >> Watch Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers Live Stream Online
Green Bay Packers vs Chicago Bears live broadcast online streaming this coming Thursday night at Lambeau Field, Green Bay in Wisconsin. The game will start at 8:20 PM Eastern Time. The Green Bay Packers lost thier first battle against San Francisco 49ers in this NFL 2012 regular season while the Chicago Bears defeated the Indianapolis Colts 41-21.
They'd be significantly more worried if the Chicago Bears come into Lambeau Field and make them 0-2. The Bears have a prime opportunity to make an early statement in the NFC North on Thursday night when they try to end a four-game losing streak in the NFL's oldest rivalry.

The Packers were the only team in the division to lose their opener Sunday, falling 30-22 to San Francisco in a game that exposed problems with Green Bay's defense and rushing attack. Aaron Rodgers did his best to compensate, throwing for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but he also had a key
interception in the fourth quarter. Rodgers, though, is the least of the Packers' concerns. New running back Cedric Benson, a former No. 4 overall draft pick by Chicago, managed just 18 yards on nine carries, while the 49ers rolled up 186 yards on the ground - 5.8 per carry - for the league's second-highest Week 1 total.
Green Bay was 15-1 in 2011 despite ranking last in the NFL in total defense, and the team's first six draft picks this year were on that side of the ball. "We're just getting started here," veteran defensive back Charles Woodson said. "It's been a long training camp, and we're trying to figure out pieces and how we're going to run this defense going forward. I'm going to keep saying, we're going to be a good defense, trust me." The unit should get another stiff test from Chicago. After his first three dropbacks Sunday resulted in a sack, an incompletion and an interception returned for a touchdown, Jay Cutler had the Bears humming in a 41-21 opening win over Indianapolis.
Cutler threw for 333 yards and a pair of touchdowns as his favorite target quickly became Brandon Marshall, who caught nine balls for 119 yards and a score in his Bears debut. Marshall's two biggest seasons in terms of receptions and yards were in 2007 and '08, when Cutler was his quarterback in Denver. "It was fun to watch," defensive end Julius Peppers said. "Hopefully, that's a sign of things that are going to happen all year." Cutler is hoping his new weapon helps change his fortune against the Packers. Since arriving in Chicago, he has thrown six touchdowns and 12 interceptions in losing five of six meetings, including the home defeat in the NFC championship game two seasons ago that he left with a knee injury. He missed the Bears' 35-21 loss at Green Bay last Christmas with a broken thumb.
Rodgers threw five TD passes in that game and finished with eight - four to Jermichael Finley - along with one interception in two wins over Chicago last year. He has won all four of his home starts against the Bears. He may, however, have to get by without one of his top targets Thursday. Greg Jennings suffered a groin injury Sunday and his status is in doubt given the quick turnaround before the NFL's first Week 2 Thursday game in 26 years. Then again, the Bears' defense also has a couple of major question marks. Linebacker Brian Urlacher made a quick recovery from knee surgery to play in the opener, but he was pulled early, perhaps for precautionary reasons. Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman left the game with a lower right leg injury, although Bears coach Lovie Smith seemed optimistic about his prospects for playing Thursday. "The glass is half-full, always," Smith said. HD online TV station is available and will appear here on the day of the event.Watch every moment of your favorite event!

COLUMBIA — S.C. Republican lawmakers think they have found a way to spend more money to repair the states roads without raising the gas tax: sales taxes on vehicles.
The state now collects about $100 million a year in sales taxes on car and truck sales. That money goes to the states general fund, where it helps pay for law enforcement, health care and public education.
However, House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, has introduced a bill that would take that $100 million out of the general fund and give it to the state Department of Transportation to spend on road repairs.
Some Democrats oppose the idea. They say it would pay for roads at the expense of education.
The state tax on vehicle sales is 5 percent or $300, whichever is lower. Eighty percent of the money raised by the sales tax goes to the general fund, while the remaining 20 percent goes to the Education Improvement Act, one of the major funding mechanisms for S.C. public education.
The state has roughly $30 billion in road and bridge repair needs over the next 20 years that it cannot pay for from current funding sources largely the state gas tax and federal money. That need has lawmakers scrambling to find ways to pay for roads.
The Board of Economic Advisors estimates if the bill becomes law, it would cut education funding by $20 million in the 2013-14 budget year, which begins July 1. The bill would cut another $80 million from the general fund.
It makes sense to me that money spent on cars ought to go to roads, Harrell said. The typical growth in revenue in the state can more than sustain this amount of money being moved over.
But some Democrats disagree.
Senate Minority Leader Nikki Setzler, D-Lexington, wants to borrow money to pay for road repairs, an idea he calls one of many or several alternatives to fund infrastructure.
Taking money from the general fund, as Harrell proposes, is not part of Setzlers plan. You cant keep dedicating current revenue from various sources because you then decrease the amount youve got to deal with, Setzler said, noting education funding would be cut.
In the state House of Representatives, Minority Leader Todd Rutherford, D-Richland, opposes Harrells proposal, comparing it to a shell game.
There is only so much general fund money to go around. Our needs are exceeding our income, and weve got to figure out a better way to handle that, Rutherford said.
Asked what better ways are available to pay for road repairs, Rutherford said: The (Democratic) caucus has not addressed that yet. But we will.
The state House of Representatives has passed a version of Harrells proposal before, but the state Senate never has approved it.
Last year, a report by the state Transportation Infrastructure Task Force said South Carolina has $48.3 billion in road repair needs through 2033. The report estimated the state will have $19 billion to pay for those repairs, leaving a shortfall of $29 billion.
Citing that need, a growing number of state lawmakers have been pushing for more spending on roads.
Were so far behind, Im open to anything, said Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, R-Gaffney, adding that includes Setzlers idea of borrowing money.
Gov. Nikki Haley has proposed spending about $90 million on road and bridge improvements next year, but only if that money is available. Haley expects the states revenues will grow by that amount by the time the budget reaches her desk.
But once Haleys proposed $90 million is spent, its gone, with no guarantee the states revenues will continue to grow enough to budget added sums for roads in future years.
That uncertainty over whether the state will have enough added money in future years to fix the states roads is why lobbyist Bill Ross of the South Carolina Alliance to Fix Our Roads group, which has been advocating raising the states gas tax, says he supports Harrells bill. The speakers plan would give lawmakers $100 million every year to spend on road improvements, Ross said.
Thats a start and, certainly, a good start, Ross said.
Haleys spokesman declined to comment on the proposal.

The only thing I'm wondering (didn't see it mentioned in the FAQ) is if this program can be used while in a calorie deficit to cut fat. What are your opinions on doing this?
When I was looking into the routine I was just going to do it and not buy the book. I decided to do it right this time and stick with something for a good while so I bought the book and read it before I started the routine and very glad I did.
Thanks for the input guys!
