This is a great place for any child to learn about self confidence. My son was in the Lil Dragon…Read Morepro gram and he learned about dealing with strangers and bullies, while at the same time having lot's of fun. Mr. Anderson is an excellent instructor. He has become a person my son will always admire and remember forever. Unlike many other places, the whole place has a great warm, family atmosphere. Mr. Anderson is not about making money, he is about helping children. My son is now in the Jr. program and we will encourage him to go has long as he wants.

text: You are by far the stupidest person I have ever encountered on here. Someone come to my house and wave a toy gun/real gun at me(without my knowledge)....you get shot...thats the way it goes....protect thy'self. Those officers did the right thing and you can guarantee that if it were to happen again..get the same result. I knew Ray and I was so shocked to hear of this but my husband is also a Deputy for White County and I commend those officers that handled this situation, so you my friend need to take your ignorant remarks and try them somewhere else. So my remark to you is this....you got a problem with law enforcement...next time your in trouble...call a crackhead!!!!do you think money is more valauble than human life,those law enforcement officers who shot and killed that man will have to stand before god almighty and give an account for this heinous act.

By Keith Eddings
---- — On a day when Haverhill police were riding shotgun on school buses, a proposal by the nation's leading gun lobby to put armed cops in every school drew fire from parents, teachers, administrators and even some cops themselves, who dismissed the idea as an unaffordable knee-jerk diversion from what they said is the real issue: gun control.
The issue of guns in schools was electrified locally on Wednesday — a week after a gunman killed 26 kindergartners and staff at a Connecticut school — when someone fired BB pellets at two school buses, one carrying 3- and 4-year-olds to a Head Start program in Haverhill and another high school students. Windows shattered, but no one was injured.
Yesterday, Haverhill Superintendent of Schools James Scully said neither the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., or the blown-out windows in his own school buses convinced him that more armed cops are needed in his schools.
"At this time, people should settle down, review what's going on and come up with a reasonable strategy," Scully said. "But a knee-jerk reaction of putting people with guns in schools — I'm not sure that's the right response."
Scully said unarmed guards trained to deal with school security issues patrol Haverhill schools, but armed police officers do not.
Armed police patrol school buildings in several other Merrimack Valley school districts, including three or four assigned to the Lawrence High School complex.
John Romero, the city's police chief, said cops in schools are a good idea because they "interact with kids and get to know them," but he said putting one in every school is unaffordable.
"We have 22 or 23 public schools in Lawrence, not including the charter schools," Romero said. "With our current resources, we couldn't do it. I think you'll get that (reaction) from any city or town."
In a dozen or so interviews on the issue yesterday, only Evan Chaisson, a member of the Methuen School Committee, said he supported the proposal by Wayne LaPierre, the top lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, to post armed policemen at every school. Armed cops patrol Methuen schools, but are not in all school buildings at once.
"It provides a security blanket for the students and parents," Chaisson said. "If there's a cop in every building, the visibility factor alone will deter many incidents from happening in these buildings."
Joe Spinale, an Andover lawyer who is the parent of a 15-year-old freshman at Andover High School, acknowledged that "times have changed, things have happened," since his own high school days three decades ago. But he said any gun in a school, even one strapped to the waist of a police officer, can be a security risk for the same reason many jails and prisons don't arm correction officers.
"I'm not concerned about the police officer, it's more the armed issue," Spinale said. "Sometimes firearms go off accidentally. If anyone were to disarm the officer, now you've introduced a firearm into the school. A lot of things could occur that wouldn't if you hadn't introduced the weapon in the first place. It's tempting to think it's a good idea, but it gives me concern."
"It might be too much for the kids, especially the little ones, to see them around," said Sheila Tate, a former president of the PTO at the Oliver School in Lawrence, who has a 5-year-old grandson and a 3-year-old great-grandson in the school. "They see a police officer and some kids think they're in trouble. They get afraid."
Frank McLaughlin, president of the Lawrence Teachers Union, said he has Chief Romero "on speed dial," although he said the two don't speak often. He said the police assigned to city school buildings allow the schools act proactively and "solve problems before they occur," but said assigning a cop to every school would do little to solve the problems facing the city.
"The problem isn't our schools, the problem is our streets," McLaughlin said. "What's on our streets? On the streets of Lawrence, there's poverty, drug abuse, addiction, mental health issues. That's where we need to put our resources. I'll tell you this: we need stricter gun control laws in our country."
Robin Toner, president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, echoed the sentiment.
"The NRA's proposal to bring armed guards into every school in our nation is impulsive and wrongheaded," Toner said. "We must seek sensible approaches to school safety and to ensuring that dangerous weapons such as assault rifles are strictly regulated so that there will never be another tragedy like the one that occurred in Newtown one week ago. The MTA believes that guns have no place in our schools."
In Andover, School Committee chairwoman Paula Colby-Clements would not comment on the NRA proposal, but said each community should be allowed to craft its own solutions to gun violence rather than have a single solution imposed on thousands of schools nationwide.
"What I worry about is that sometimes, when we get nervous, we craft one-size-fits-all policies for every community," Colby-Clements said. "That's not always the case. The paramount concern is safety and communities are now grappling with how to adapt policies they already have, to make schools even safer."

L505: Organization and representation of knowledge and information
Second Summer 2004: Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:45-8:30 pm, LI001
Instructor: Erika Knudsen

The representation and organization of information and information resources is a primary focus of the information professions. Organizational and representational structures such as classification schemes, indexes and catalogs have been created and modified to provide access to information. With the advent of the information age, the information resource has undergone a revolution of new concepts and structures such as the web, metadata and knowledge management. As we move away from the printed word, the need for effective methods of representation and organization is even more vital as new technologies grow unchecked.
Practical and effective information systems depend on a comprehensive understanding not only of formal systems of organization and representation but also of human cognition itself. This course will investigate the basic principles and theoretical foundations of traditional representational and organizational schemes and review research in information science, cognitive science, semiotics, and computer science - research that has contributed to an understanding of how people obtain, store, retrieve and use information. It will also examine how these set theories and principles can contribute to more effective and efficient practices in the various new inceptions of representation and organization in the information age.
By the end of the course, participants will
The structure of each class session will be lectures supplemented with discussions of assigned readings and activities designed to illustrate the principles given in the lectures and readings. At each class session, the lecture/discussion will cover the topic indicated on the syllabus. Students are encouraged to participate in all lectures and discussions, as all participation will constitute 20% of the student's final grade.
Each student will be required to read the day's readings and record in his/her journal an entry discussing some aspect of each of the readings assigned for each class session. Failure to keep up with the assigned readings and/or record a journal entry for each reading will negatively impact both the class participation grade and the journal grade.
A packet with all the assigned readings will be available on reserve at the SLIS library and on e-reserve. The readings assigned for a particular class session are listed on the Syllabus.
The student's final course grade will be computed on the basis of letter grades assigned for the course project, quizzes, class participation and the journal.
Satisfactory fulfillment of the minimum course requirements as outlined in the syllabus is considered "good work" and will constitute a grade of B. A grade of A for work demonstrating "outstanding achievement" or a grade of A- for "excellent achievement" reflecting "thorough knowledge of the course materials" will be assigned with both the intellectual quality and the originality and/or creativity of the student's work far surpass expectations reflected in the minimum course requirements.
Class participation: 20%
Course Project: 25%
Quizzes: 25%
Journal: 30%
All grades will be assigned according to the SLIS Grading Policy for Master's and Specialist Level Students. This policy was defined by student a faculty members of SLIS's Curriculum Steering Committee and was adopted by the Faculty of the School of Library and Information Science, Indiana University, on November 11, 1996, as an aid in evaluation of student performance.
Numerical Equivalent
Outstanding achievement. Student performance demonstrates full command of the course materials and evinces a high level or originality and/or creativity that far surpasses expectations
Excellent achievement. Student performance demonstrates thorough knowledge of the course materials and exceed course expectations by completing all requirements in a superior manner
Very good work. Student performance demonstrates above-average comprehension of the course materials and exceeds course expectations on all tasks as defined in the course syllabus
Good work. Student performance meets designated course expectations, demonstrates understanding of the course materials and performs at an acceptable level.
Marginal work. Student performance demonstrates incomplete understanding of course materials.
Unsatisfactory work. Student performance demonstrates incomplete and inadequate understanding of course materials.
Unacceptable work. Coursework performed at this level will not count toward the MLS or MIS degree. For the course to count toward the degree, the student must repeat the course with a passing grade.
Failing. Student may continue in program only with permission of the Dean.
Class participation will constitute 20% of the final grade. It will be a composite grade based on class attendance, and participation in class discussions.
The journal, a written record of the path the student takes throughout the course, is a valuable learning tool. It is not graded upon the content, rather on the attempt and thought processes contained within. This journal can either be kept in a notebook format or as a series of computer files. All aspects of the course should be contained within this journal: summaries of assigned readings, class commentaries, class notes, and assignments/essays. Each entry should be dated, and have a heading to designate the type of entry.
Required Journal Entries:
1. An informative abstract, discussion or summary of the required readings. Each entry must include full citation information. The type of citation is the student's choice, it just needs to be consistent throughout the journal.
2. Essays/Assignments that are indicated on the syllabus.
3. Commentary on major points or ideas presented in lectures or class discussions.
Optional Journal Entries:
1. Discussion or abstracts of external readings (from the recommended reading lists or other outside readings)
2. Commentary on related topics.
Grading of Journals:
There will be three reviews of the journal, after the 4th session, after the 9th session, and again at the end of the semester. As the journal is integral to the learning process of the course, the multiple reviews will give the students a chance to get feedback on their progress in the course. At each review, a letter grade will be given, at the end of the semester, the three grades will be averaged for the final journal grade. The journal will be grades based on the inclusion of all required materials and evidence of active involvement within the course. Evidence of continuous additional effort (consistent inclusion of additional work above and beyond what the course requires) will result in a journal grade signifying excellent or outstanding achievement.
There will be three quizzes that will be presented during the summer session. These quizzes will consist an essay question or problem to respond to. This will account for 25% of the student's grade. The quizzes should be created on a word processor (no handwritten finals will be accepted), with both the spelling and the grammar checked.
Course Project
The course project will be the creation of an access tool (a classification scheme, indexing system or other organizational structure) that supports retrieval of the intellectual content of the student's journal. This project will be discussed thoroughly near the completion of the course. This project is worth 25% of the student's final grade. It will be due no later than 5:00 pm August 12, 2004.
Academic Dishonesty: Any assignment that contains plagiarized material or indicated any other form of academic dishonesty will receive an automatic grade of F for the assignment. A second infraction will result in an automatic grade of F for the course.
Incompletes: Each student is expected to complete all coursework by the end of the term. A student may request a grade of incomplete under extreme circumstances. Requests for incompletes must be made no later than August 10, 2004.
Late Submissions: Late submissions will be penalized by lowering the grade by one letter grade increment (A- to B+, C to C-) per day the assignment is late.

On a day when eight Pro Football Hall of Fame running backs appeared in The Buffalo News to recommend C.J. Spiller get the ball more, Spiller had his fewest touches in two months.
Spiller, one of the NFL's most dangerous playmakers, touched the ball eight times -- seven rushing attempts and a reception on the only pass thrown to him -- in the Buffalo Bills' 15-12 loss to the St. Louis Rams this afternoon in Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Fred Jackson had nine carries and five receptions before a knee injury ended his day with 5:26 to play.
Even with Jackson missing 35 percent of the fourth quarter, Spiller touched the ball once over the last 22 minutes. With the season on the line, no less.
"I really can't control how many times I touch the ball, guys," Spiller told reporters after the game. "I keep saying it over and over. I don't know what you want me to say."
All-time leading rusher Emmitt Smith told me Saturday: "If I were him, I'd be saying 'Give me the ball more.' "
Spiller, however, remained a good soldier in the Bills' locker room.
"Of course, I want to touch the ball more," Spiller said. "There ain't no need for me to sit around, mope and groan and do all that stuff because that's high school. That's childish. That's what I'm not all about.
"Is the frustration there? Yeah. Deep down inside as a competitor, yeah, it's there. But there's nothing I can do about it. So I'm not going to sit around, pout and be a little baby or a little girl or something."
In the first half, Spiller had four carries for 10 yards and one catch for 15 yards.
He opened the second half with flair, gaining 13 yards on each of his first two carries of the Bills' opening drive, which ended with their lone touchdown of the game. Spiller didn't get the ball again until the 9:05 mark of the fourth quarter.
And that was all.
"He had two good runs on that first drive, and he gets winded and comes out," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "We keep Fred in there, and it worked out the next couple carries we got behind the sticks on the runs we called.
"It wasn't happening there after the first drive of the second half. We were trying to run the football, and when it's Fred's turn it's Fred's turn to be in there. We're trying to keep them both fresh."
Spiller hadn't had fewer touches since seven carries and zero catches in Week Five against the San Francisco 49ers. He had six touches in Week Three against the Cleveland Browns, but left that game in the first half with a shoulder injury.

The average teacher stands to lose more in reduced pension benefits than the average retiree gets in a year of Social Security payments.
The Pennsylvania State Education Association estimates that under Gov. Tom Corbett's plan, the average teacher would see $16,166 less in retirement benefits.
The average Social Security benefit in 2013 will be $15,132.
The union calculated that Corbett's reforms would translate into a 26 percent decrease in benefits. That means, the average teacher now gets about $60,000 a year in retirement payments – more than the median household income of $51,000 a year in Pennsylvania.
The union's estimate for the average teacher benefit also is double the average yearly benefit paid to existing retirees in the two main public sector pension unions.
The Public School Employee Retirement System estimates that the average yearly benefit for its members was $24,122 in 2012, spokeswoman Evelyn Tavitski said. The pension system includes all public school employees – including janitors, administrative staff, cafeteria workers and aides, she said.
The average paid to retirees in the State Employee Retirement System is $25,083, SERS spokeswoman Pamela Hile said. The SERS system covers all state employees who do not work in public schools.
David Broderic, a spokesman for the teachers union, said that averages for existing retirees are dragged down because many retirees left the workforce years ago. Long-retired seniors have smaller benefit payments because their careers ended when pay was lower. In public pensions, retirement benefits are calculated using a formula that includes the average pay for the final three years of the worker's career.
A Corbett administration spokesman said that in most cases, an employee's pension is not expected to provide all of the savings for an individual's retirement. A pension is expected to be part of a "three-legged stool" of retirement benefits – along with Social Security and the retirees' personal savings, said Jay Pagni, a spokesman in the Corbett Administration's budget office.
But Broderic said that the administration is seeking to renege on an obligation.
Teachers and other government employees contribute 7.5 percent of their pay toward their pensions.
The governor predicted last fall that pension reform would be one of the big issues in 2013.
Last week, the House state government committee held a public hearing on the matter, one of the first steps in the legislature toward confronting the problem. The state is faced with $41 billion in unfunded liability costs. Both the state and local school districts are scrambling to determine how to absorb their costs tied to that unfunded liability.
"The cost of doing nothing is substantial. If the current projections of the (employer contribution rates) do not change, we will be devoting about $2,500 per student in combined local and state resources just to pension costs," Jay Himes, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials, said in testimony to the House committee.
PASBO endorsed a plan to reduce the multiplier used to calculate pension benefits. Many veteran school employees now have a 2.5 percent multiplier baked into their benefit formula. Newer hires have a 2 percent multiplier. The administrators' organization suggested using the 2 percent multiplier for all employees.
The group said that while there are questions about the legality of making changes to pension benefits for existing employees, there are legal decisions that suggest judges would not reject them.
The administrators' group opposed many of the key features of Corbett's pension reform plan.
PASBO – which represents school administrators – opposed any reform that would cap the salary amount that can be used to calculate benefits.
The group also has opposed a proposal that would allow all the state and school districts to postpone making employer contributions.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — For his 93rd birthday in early 2009, Henry Zarrow received a gift that will keep on giving for numerous University of Oklahoma students.
A $5 million donation from the Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation to the OU School of Social Work, given in Zarrow's honor and his wife's memory, was instrumental in constructing Anne and Henry Zarrow Hall.
The new building at 700 S. Elm Ave. replaces Rhyne Hall — which opened in 1921 as a fraternity house — as home of the Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work. It was dedicated Friday morning inside a crowded conference room in Zarrow Hall.
"There's been so much said about me; I'd like to say thank you all," said Zarrow, who received a standing ovation upon entering the packed room and another upon his introduction.
Don Baker, the school's appreciative director who spent many years in Rhyne Hall, said the new 30,000-square-foot building and its amenities combine "high instruction technology and high art."
Zarrow Hall has distance-learning and videoconferencing equipment to tie its programs to those at OU-Tulsa. It also has rooms for classes, seminars, faculty and administration offices, a 200-seat community room, two clinical suites and three project suites that are home to the Child Welfare Professional Enhancement Program and the Knee Center for Strong Families.
In addition to the school's bachelor degree programs, OU is the state's only college or university that offers a graduate program in social work.
Brianna Ellis, a senior from Durant, said students are "overwhelmed by the opportunity to attend class in this beautiful, state-of-the-art building" and that its resources will enable them reach their goals of helping others.
"We students accept your gift," Ellis said to Zarrow, "and pledge to you our hard work."
Anne Zarrow died years ago but OU President David Boren said she was present in spirit. Anne and Henry Zarrow helped fund a day center for homeless people in Tulsa and Boren said they shopped each year on their anniversary — which also was Henry Zarrow's birthday — for items to give at the day center.
The couple also donated much of their time and money to public schools, libraries, a senior center and in starting a center for people with mental health needs. Henry Zarrow, Boren said, has served as chairman for boards of more than 50 charitable organizations and he remains active in giving.
"They really are two remarkable people," Boren said. "Partners in life, partners in giving."
Boren later said that when the Zarrows "saw a need, they always acted on it and it wasn't always institutional."
The Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation, directed by Henry Zarrow and his children and grandchildren, has provided scholarships for hundreds of college students among its many other charitable endeavors.

Deal agreed for Flash Musicals' lease of Harrow council property
Updated 3:40pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
A charity that faced an uncertain future due to rent owed to the council could have its £72,000 debt cleared.
Flash Musicals, based in Methuen Road, Edgware, owed the money to Harrow Borough Council's housing revenue account in rent on the council-owned property.
In September last year then cabinet member for major contracts Councillor Thaya Idaikkadar agreed a deal to waive the dept in exchange for services provided by Flash Musicals during the five years of its lease.
But then the plan was re-examined by the council following concerns from councillors from both Labour and Conservative groups.
Last month Harrow council's cabinet agreed to sign a new lease agreement with the charity which will see the debt cleared.
The charity is Mayor of Harrow Cllr Nana Asante's chosen charity of the year.
Under Cllr Idaikkadar's decision, money from the council's general fund would be used to settle the outstanding rent in recognition of services delivered by Flash Musicals over the past five years.
Speaking to the Harrow Times last year Terry Revill, who runs Flash Musicals, said the charity would continue its work in the borough.
Flash Musicals was first established in Barnet in 1997 as a voluntary youth organisation and moved to the site in Methuen Road since 2002.
The charity not only runs theatre groups at the site but also martial arts classes, film nights, an after-school club and dance classes.

Apparently the fiscal cliff issue still matters to more people than just those in the media and in politics: It also matters to the market. There is no doubt that a strong correlation exists between the fiscal cliff news and market movements.
The market tanked after the election when investors began focusing on the looming tax monster that exists at the end of the year; and every time Congress and President Obama have hinted at the 'C' word (compromise), stock prices jumped. Wednesday's words from Washington were a bit warmer and more conciliatory than in recent days so the Dow Jones adds a triple-digit gain. The fiscal cliff seems to also matter to foreign markets because they are rallying now as I write this (Weds evening, 11/28/12), in the wake of Wall Street gains.
I'm not a gambling man but I do like to make guesses just for fun (no I did not buy any PowerBall lottery tickets). My intuitive guess is that Congress will play chicken as long as they can but will make some kind of deal just before the end of the year. Quite possibly, stocks will rally in December or January when investors realize there is at least one more leg up in this bull market, when they are confident that capital gains rates will not go up, and when they discover they have no tax loss harvesting opportunities.
Yes, it's almost time to begin looking at our Where to Invest Now series of articles for 2013 (no I won't recommend buying lottery tickets but feel free to do so if it makes you feel better... and good luck)!

Fly the flags, even during construction
The town of Cary has "forgotten" and should be ashamed.
Twice a year, I take my 10-year-old to the Veterans Freedom Park on Harrison Avenue to place flags in remembrance and thanks to our military. Imagine my horror as we arrived at the park on Veterans Day – all the flag poles, where each military branch is honored, as well as the pole for the American flag, were bare.
The park is being remodeled. But if the town and the park developers could not coordinate to have the project finished in time for Veterans Day, could it not at least fly the flags on this day?
Although, quite frankly, why can't the flags fly every day, even during construction? If the flag poles are still there and the Veterans Park sign is still there, why can't the flags fly? I assure you, our veterans have seen much worse than a construction site.
Thank you to all who serve or who have served.

---- — One aspect of the fiscal cliff negotiations has the potential to affect area nonprofits and human service agencies, several officials said Thursday.
Along with the fate of Bush-era tax cuts, lawmakers will decide the fate of $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that were the result of last year's debt ceiling talks. If nothing is changed, half of the cuts would come from defense, and half would come from domestic programs that will have a local impact.
National Council of Nonprofits President Tim Delaney said these cuts nationwide include $600 million for Head Start, $2 billion for rental assistance and $543 million for the Women, Infants and Children program, which provides federal grants to states for supplemental food and nutrition education for low-income women and children.
Opportunities for Otsego Executive Director Dan Maskin said the negotiations will determine how big the impact will be on programs his agency helps administers in the county. This includes Head Start and day care, homeless programs and weatherization. If Washington legislators are looking at major deficit reductions there are only a few areas to look at, he said.
Domestic discretionary programs that affect his agency are one of them, he said, and other areas include defense, Social Security, Medicare and interest on the debt. Right now he is hearing a lot of "rhetoric" on the issues, he said, and more should be known about a solution in the next few weeks, but he has no sense of what the outcome will be.
He said he does know the cuts won't make the problems go away, noting that if there's less funding to care for the homeless, it could lead to higher motel prices and more use of area police, he said. A lack of daycare would impact working families, he said.
Federal funding for senior meals and caregiver services would be affected if the cuts aren't averted, said Otsego County for the Aging Director Frances Wright. She wasn't sure of the exact impact. She was making elected officials aware of the problem.
"I'm hoping they work it out," she said, adding that she did not want to speculate on the likelihood.
Catskill Area Hospice and Palliative Care President and CEO Lola Rathbone said her agency faces a reduction in reimbursements because of the fiscal cliff talks.
This is not as dramatic as some of the cuts others are facing.
"Right now we are doing okay," she said. "We won't suffer as much as some of the smaller hospices, because we have good community support."
But she was hoping the agency avoided the impact.
Otsego County Deputy Commissioner of Social Services Eve Bouboulis said her department was particularly interested in possible cuts to HEAP and the Housing and Urban Development's homeless assistance program. She didn't want to comment on the state of negotiations.
Delaware Opportunities Executive Director John Eberhard said the current proposals call for about a 9-percent cut in programs including Headstart, which would result in 21 children not being served; weatherization, which would affect five families; and the Home Energy Assistance Program, which would affect 72 families.
"It's very important they work things out," he said.
Delaware County Social Services Commissioner William Moon said his agency works with Delaware Opportunities and Office for the Aging in administering many of the programs that will be affected if the cuts take place. However he noted programs such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Children's Health Insurance Program are not affected. If there are not enough funds available for the programs, the county and state governments and nonprofits will have to make up the difference, he said.
"There has to be a better way," to deal with federal budget issues, he said. "I am hoping for the best."
