Chasing Freedom -- International Institute to Show New Film January 14
The UCLA International Institute in cooperation with School of Law & the prestigious non-profit organization Active Voice, will present a screening of the upcoming original movie "Chasing Freedom," produced by Court TV as part of a national awareness campaign.
Published: Friday, January 09, 2004
Chasing Freedom, the third original full-length film made by Court TV, which will be shown Wednesday afternoon, January 14, at the UCLA Law School , tells the story of the tribulations of Meena Gardizi, a 26-year-old Afghan woman (portrayed by Layla Alizada), who is persecuted by the Taliban for running an underground school of girls, and Libby Brock, an ambitious New York corporate lawyer (played by Juliette Lewis) who reluctantly agrees to represent Meena, pro bono, when the woman is detained as she enters the United States seeking asylum.
The movie was inspired by a real asylum case handled by attorneys affiliated with the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights , a non-profit organization founded in 1978 to "create a secure and humane world by advancing justice, human dignity, and respect for the rule of law."
Oppression in Two Worlds
The contours of women's lives under the Taliban, with which the film opens, are well known: relegation to the home, denial of the fundamental right to an education, violent repression of freedom of conscience, and, in general, stifling oppression in all aspects of life, both public and private. The film graphically reveals the toll this took by following the story of Meena, a former university student in Kabul. Meena secretly teaches the girls in her neighborhood to read and write. When the Taliban authorities discover her make-shift school, Meena is plunged into mortal danger.
Eventually Meena flees Afghanistan and ends up in New York, at the airport, where she pleads for admission "to the land of the free." The immigration officer asks her why she wants into the United States. She replies, "Because I am afraid." But she has no paperwork and thus no way to document the oppression she suffered in Afghanistan, no way to prove her life is in jeopardy if she is forced to return, and in fact no way to prove her identity. Without this precious paperwork, Meena becomes trapped in the U.S. immigration system, incarcerated under prison-like conditions, as her case slowly winds through the system.
For Libby Brock, the lawyer, Meena's plight is an eye-opening experience. She quickly sees that asylum seekers face huge obstacles, that they are caught up in a cold, confusing, and often frightening system of "justice," and that they are typically treated as if they were unscrupulous liars, if not outright international criminals. Worst of all, if they do not receive vigorous and skillful representation, they are likely to be deported in the end, to face their fate in their homeland. All of this becomes a transformative experience for Libby.
Balancing Security and Freedom
Despite the words of Emma Lazarus—"Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"—inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, the United States has a checkered history of both welcoming and rejecting immigrants. The lot of asylum seekers has often been particularly depressing. After September 11, as Chasing Freedom suggests, things have only gotten worse.
Court TV chairman and CEO Henry Schleiff has encapsulated the importance of Chasing Freedom: the movie "tells an incredibly important story of oppression, freedom and hope. There are hundreds of 'Meenas' in the world, whose lives and families are in danger and who desperately need the protection that the United States and others can provide. Still, as the attacks of September 11 underscored, it is essential that we balance national security against the need to provide asylum."
"We hope," Schleiff continues, " that our viewers will come to appreciate the plight of asylum-seekers and perhaps be inspired to do something about the people who need legal representation and guidance. As it has for two centuries, our country stands to benefit, and indeed grow stronger, from the men and women who come here to make a better life for themselves."
Production Collaboration
Court TV - The Investigation Channel™ describes itself as "the leader in the investigation genre, providing a window on the American system of justice through distinctive programming that both informs and entertains. It is widely recognized for its commitment to socially relevant programming and public affairs. . . . Court TV is 50% owned by TimeWarner and 50% owned by Liberty Media Corp. The network is seen in almost 80 million homes."
In producing Chasing Freedom, Court TV collaborated with the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights (LCHR) and Active Voice. LCHR has a distinguished history of work in the United States and abroad in supporting human rights activists and refugees from repression and persecution, in promoting workers' rights, and in helping to build a vigorous international system of justice and accountability for human rights' crimes.
Active Voice is known for film-based campaigns that encourage public engagement in pressing social issues. It consists of communication specialists who put socially relevant film to work for change in communities, workplaces, and campuses throughout the country. Through partnerships, forums, training sessions, and small-group workshops, Active Voice seeks to tap the transforming power of film. Formerly known as the Television Race Initiative, which was funded by the Ford Foundation, Active Voice is a division of independent media innovator American Documentary Inc. Active Voice has worked with more than twenty documentaries and movies, on issues range from affirmative action to the World War II internment of Japanese Americans to contemporary migration.
The Stars: Layla Alizada & Juliette Lewis
Afghan-born Layla Alizada has appeared in several movies beginning in the late 1990s, including The Thirteenth Warrior (1999), but is perhaps better known for her performances on stage, in dramas.
Juliette Lewis, according to the Internet Movie Database, "is recognized as one of Hollywood's most talented and versatile actors of her generation." She has performed in more than forty movies and has been nominated for both an Oscar and an Emmy.

Board of Directors
Dr. Darrel W. Ray is the founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Recovering From Religion. Dr, Ray has been a psychologist for over thirty years and is the author of four books: two on organizational teamwork as well as "The God Virus-How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture" and "Sex and God-How Religion Distorts Sexuality". He has been a student of religion most of his life and holds a Masters Degree in religion as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology/Anthropology with a Doctorate in psychology.
Sarah Morehead was raised as an evangelical Southern Baptist with family deeply rooted in the conservative Southern Baptist as well as Pentecostal churches. She spent many years seeking to live a life as a faithful and dutiful Christian wife before gradually letting go of her religious beliefs. Her involvement in organizational leadership with many local area groups over the past 15 years brings a clear direction and focus that will allow RR to achieve our many goals both now and in the future. Passionate about her desire to help others let go of the confines of faith, she has a tremendous empathy and appreciation for the many challenges associated with disengaging from lifelong religious belief systems.
Teresa MacBain became a non-believer after more than 20 years of ministry throughout the Deep South. Through a long process of questioning, research, and reality-based thinking, she discovered the religious faith she'd built her life upon was simply a lie. She came out publicly as an atheist during the 2012 American Atheist convention in Bethesda, Maryland. Teresa received her B.S. in Christian Education at Samford University and she also holds the distinction of being the first female "graduate" of the Clergy Project, a private online support group for pastors who no longer believe in the supernatural, and she was named "Atheist of the Year" for 2013.
Nathan Phelps is an author and engaging speaker on religion and child abuse, as well as an outspoken LGBT advocate, and the Executive Director for the Center For Inquiry in Calgary. He has dedicated his life to spreading his message and has become an inspiration to those who grew up in oppressive religious families.
The son of the notorious Fred Phelps, Nathan was raised inside Westboro Baptist Church, America's most infamous church family. He grew up physically, emotionally and mentally bullied every single day by his father, all in the name of God, until his 18th birthday when he managed to finally escape. Despite his background, Nathan hopes to continue spreading his message of healing, love, and acceptance through the goals and vision of Recovering From Religion.
Richard Haynes was raised in a nonreligious home, but as a teenager had a "born again" experience. He almost immediately became an evangelist, and personally led hundreds to Christ. He received a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies, and became an associate minister in a 12,000 member mega-church. In 1993, he and his wife Angela made the agonizing decision to leave their church, which was engulfed with scandal. Terrified and unemployed, they began their long and arduous journey away from religion and free from faith. Richard is now secularly ordained and has dedicated himself to building supportive secular communities, encouraging countless others to "come out" as non-believers.

I have been working at Kohl's full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – The store has a great team environment, one big family. Development is non-stop and the company continually looks to promote from within.
Cons – Store hours are not condusive to a healthy work-life balance. Often times executives are expected to close late (11 p.m. or later) and turn around and be back at 6 a.m. Store Manager does not seem to put as much support into the Executive team, often times leaving them to cover SM shift when the SM leaves early. Equality among the Executive team is non-existent, often times leaving 1 executive handling 80% of the load themselves.
Advice to Senior Management – Take more interest the how happy your team really is. Offer to handle the front lines more often so the team can focus on what needs to be done and get tasks completed efficiently. Have more consideration for work-life balance for entire team and not just themselves.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

If you're going to sit up on a high wall wearing a funny hat you could at least look happy that you have a great position to see the St Patrick's Day Parade. No, I didn't see this fella smile at all.
A year before the wall was taken over by photographers but alas, the excellent vantage point was wasted this year.

text: Recently our hot water pipe started knocking when the hot water is turned off. This happens in both bathrooms located on the second floor of our house. What is causing this? What is the solution to stopping it? I found out that if I turn on cold water and then turn off the hot water, it doesn't knock. But try getting two teenage daughters to do the same. At any rate, I figured this was a plumbing problem. Our house is 16 years old--we bought it this summer.

In a recent post, David Linthicum asks "Can SOA governance technology be distracting?". His answer is yes, and he offers the following sound advice:
First, only purchase SOA governance technology, if it's indeed needed, after you have a complete semantic-, service-, and process-level understanding of the problem domain. Never before.
Amen to that. In my opinion, for all but the most mature and involved environments, the procurement of an SOA governance platform should be well down the list of priorities. I'd add to David's list of things that need to be 'worked out' before you get that cheque book out:
- What is your vision for governance itself? Do you want to adopt a 'iron fist' or 'hand in glove' approach? Is your registry going to be a mechanism for governing or a side effect of it?
- Who's going to populate it? Have you got your analysis, design and development processes sufficiently honed that your repository isn't going to turn into a dumping ground of candidate services?
- Have you actually got any services live yet? Governance is a whole lifecycle thing. Until you've worked out how you're going to deploy and manage services in the production environment and demonstrated that this works, how do you know what capabilities your governance platform needs to offer?
- Most importantly: What are the use cases for your governance platform? Can you demonstrate that these use cases can't be addressed using your existing tooling (even if that's Microsoft Excel)? Be honest with yourself about when you're likely to implement these use cases. If the answer is further than one year away, then for the time, you might be wise to forget them. There is little point in spending good money on runtime governance or automated deployment technology when in a year's time you'll be able to get more for less.
A lot of projects using SOA governance tools at the moment treat them as glorified databases. If that's where you're at, consider using something less specialised that allows you to evolve your ideas, understanding and schema before you commit to something that will make this innovation harder and more time consuming. When you've spent six to twelve months getting your ducks in a row, so to speak, you'll be in a much better place to make decisions.
I'd really welcome stories from people about how they've implemented governance platforms in the past, whether they're informal (e.g. Wikis, bugtrackers, spreadsheets) or formal (e.g. IBM Websphere Registry and Repository, CentraSite from Software AG): What did you implement? What worked? What didn't? What would you do differently next time?

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in recognition of the 98th anniversary of the Armenian genocide:
"On this solemn anniversary of the Armenian genocide, we pause to remember the victims and honor the survivors of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. Too often, the truth of these horrific events has been denied, yet the historical record is clear: from 1915 to 1923, the leaders of the Ottoman Empire conceived and carried out a genocide against the Armenian people.
"International observers and diplomats to the Ottoman Empire, including U.S. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, watched a nightmare unfurl and provided detailed first-hand accounts of 'a campaign of race extermination.' This week almost one hundred years ago, the voices of the more than 1.5 million Armenian men, women, and children were silenced forever. We must never forget. We must learn from this dark hour of history. Indeed, there is no greater tribute to their memories than our commitment to act to prevent genocide in our time.
"If we ignore the mistakes of the past, then we are destined to repeat them. That's why it is critical, year in and year out, to reaffirm our dedication to recognizing the Armenian genocide and to placing the U.S. Congress firmly on the side of honesty in our history. On this anniversary, it is our responsibility to embrace the truth and build a brighter future."

by Emily Homnick '09
In the age of digitization and mega pixels, red-eye correction and instant photos, Elayna Snyder has developed the raw power of the disposable camera. The Kalamazoo College senior uses them to teach a photography class at Ministry with Community, a food and daytime shelter provider helping the City of Kalamazoo's homeless, poor, mentally ill, and hard-to-serve adults. Though Snyder's program began tentatively with just a few arts and crafts, the at-first hesitant participants soon seized the opportunity to learn from her and develop their photographic skills, and more. In the process Snyder learned as well.
An artist skilled in many mediums, Snyder hoped to use art--especially photography--to help people marginalized in the community and thus strengthen the entire community. At first a lack of funding confined class materials to colored pencils, crayons, and yarn, and the initial results were disappointing. "My students were quite intimidated by art and said they couldn't do it," said Snyder. "But after we switched to cameras they were incredibly excited." A grant from the Kalamazoo Community Foundation made the switch to disposable cameras possible.
The value was apparent immediately. As news spread and photographs circulated, class attendance grew and became more consistent. Conversations expanded beyond the subject of art. Snyder led discussions and encouraged her students to express the emotional, social, and political themes in their photos. Class members gained a sense of authority and self-confidence not only as photographers but also as social commentators--people who could speak articulately of the connection between their artwork and daily life.
Photographs taken by Snyder's students were exhibited in the Light Fine Arts Gallery at the January 2009 Martin Luther King Symposium, "Reclaiming Our Voice: Connecting with Community." The enlarged, boldly displayed photos were accompanied by poignant poems and short stories that expressed the hopes and struggles of the artists. A few of those artists attended symposium events and spoke with students and community members about their experiences and artwork.
Snyder felt she had successfully connected with marginalized members of her community, but the process was gradual. She became especially close to the 10 individuals who faithfully attended Wednesday class. She improved the instructional and intercultural skills she had begun to develop as an English teacher in a Calcutta (India) orphanage during study abroad. There the barriers between her and her students were cultural and linguistic--her students spoke Bengali and no English.
"Initially, I felt differently about teaching a marginalized group in my own country," said Snyder. Ironically, her students may have seemed less like her because of the very language and citizenship they shared. "But as I continued to teach I let go the social stigmas we use to create barriers between us. Those barriers became unnecessary when
"As I continued to teach I let go the social stigmas we use to create barriers between us."my students and I formed relationships based on personality, connection, and interest--no different than the relationships I have with classmates at 'K'." Through the trust she shared with her students and through their photography and writing she began to feel the implications of hunger and homelessness as she never had--a first step to addressing those issues.
This spring Snyder--between juggling a heavy course load and getting ready to graduate--is teaching ceramics workshops at Ministry with Community in which her students make bowls and planters. "Class members draw upon their photography to create narratives on their ceramic creations," she said, which will be sold during the City of Kalamazoo's June Art Hop. Proceeds will be donated to efforts that address hunger and homelessness in the community.
Snyder is a Civic Engagement Scholar at the Mary Jane Underwood Stryker Institute for Service-Learning, and she's certain she wants to keep doing what she loves to do--photograph, teach, and travel. Ultimately, she hopes to teach college students to use photography to facilitate more engagement between academia and other communities. She wants to discover and apply the most beneficial, utilitarian, and political possibilities of the medium she loves. "I'm ready to move outside the classroom," she said. With the help of a few disposable cameras, she already has.

There is no such thing as a pay raise, with employees promised "discretionary" bonuses that are only delivered after threats to quit. Sales people have to adhere to stringent help generating new leads. Existing customers are generally very unhappy and instead of fixing the technology, the strategy seems to be to put a band-aid on at each customer issue with promises of longer-term fixes that never seem to materialize.
Advice to Senior Management – Empower people outside the inner circle to make decisions. Stop using fear to motivate employees. Focus on creating a consistent installation process to increase the customer satisfaction.

What is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure, also referred to as hypertension is blood pressure in the blood vessels that is abnormally higher than normal.
Blood pressure is checked in pets if an underlying disease is suspected, if the animal is older than nine years or if eye problems or blindness presents itself. A thorough physical examination which includes checking the heart, nervous system and kidneys together with a complete medical history will be performed. It is measured in a similar way as in humans, and an inflatable cuff is fitted on the animal's foot or foreleg, or sometimes the tail.

Indiana is one of 45 states that has adopted a set of nationally-crafted academic standards known as the Common Core.
State-level education officials have been setting academic standards for students since the late 1980s. As a result, education policy observers say, wide disparities between different state standards developed, making it difficult to compare students across the country.
In part to address this issue, and in part "to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce," the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers led an effort to draw up a new set of academic standards that could be implemented on a national scale.
Indiana signed on in August 2010 after the State Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt the Common Core under the leadership of former Republican schools chief Tony Bennett, making the state one of the first to join the initiative.
States didn't have to sign on to the Common Core — in fact, four did not — but some education policy observers regard the new standards as de facto national standards. The U.S. Department of Education has skirted formal endorsement of the initiative, though the Obama administration has made adoption of college- and career-ready standards a prerequisite for states seeking waivers from some No Child Left Behind accountability requirements.
In Indiana, backlash against the new standards gained traction during the 2013 legislative session. At the urging of two Indianapolis parents who formed the group Hoosiers Against the Common Core, Republican Senator Scott Schneider filed a bill to withdraw Indiana from the new standards. Though that proposal was ultimately scaled back, Common Core opponents scored a victory when state lawmakers agreed to pause implementation of the new standards pending a legislative review.
Kindergarten and first grade teachers are already using the new standards in their classrooms, and second grade teachers were supposed to join them in 2013-14. But because the legislation also delays the rollout of new assessments and leaves the ISTEP in place for another year, the Department of Education has asked second grade teachers to teach the old Indiana standards in tandem with the Common Core so students will be prepared to take state tests as third graders.
The State Board of Education has until July 1, 2014, to make a final decision on standards.
This much is clear: Even if Indiana withdraws from the Common Core, the state is likely to end up with very similar standards. That's because Indiana must maintain college- and career-ready standards or run afoul of its NCLB waiver. Lawmakers who wrote the Common Core pause proposal were careful to stipulate whatever standards Indiana adopts next must comply with the state's waiver.
Common Core Timeline
Special thanks to Molly Bloom of StateImpact Ohio.
1983 — A commission established by President Reagan publishes A Nation at Risk. The report calls for setting standards for what students should know and be able to do and marks the starting point of "standards-based" education reform. The movement also calls for monitoring whether students are learning through standardized tests. In the following years, states move to adopt standards, pushed along by federal legislation. Teachers groups also publish model standards of their own.
1994 — A series of Clinton administration-backed laws (Goals 2000: Educate America Act and the Improving America's Schools Act) require states to set standards and corresponding tests.
1996 — At the 1996 National Education Summit, governors and business leaders pledge to work together to raise standards and achievement in public schools. Achieve, a non-profit, non-partisan group which will become instrumental in the creation of the Common Core, is founded.
2001 — President Bush signs the No Child Left Behind Act, which strengthens requirements for the kinds of standards states must set and requires states to test students in specific grades and subjects. However, states are still free to set their own standards and create their own tests.
2008 — The National Governors Association, state education commissioners and other groups begin organizing development of common standards in math and English language arts for grades K-12.
2009 — Governors and state education commissioners from 48 states plus the District of Columbia commit to developing the Common Core standards. Only Alaska and Texas do not join the effort.
February 2010 — Kentucky becomes the first state to adopt the Common Core, before they've been publicly released.
March 10, 2010 — The first draft of the Common Core standards is released to the public for comment.
June 2, 2010 — Final Common Core standards released for states to adopt or reject.
August 2, 2010 — California adopts Common Core standards on the day federal officials set as the deadline for states to apply for federal funds through the Race to the Top program. In the competition, states get extra points for having adopted the common core standards.
November 4, 2011 — Montana becomes the 46th (and final) state to adopt the Common Core standards. Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and Virginia are the four that did not; Minnesota did not adopt the math standards but did adopt the English language arts standards.
2011-12 school year — Development of new standardized tests tied to the Common Core standards begins. The effort is led by two consortia of states, PARCC and Smarter Balanced. The groups will share $360 million in federal grants to develop the new tests. Ohio is a member of PARCC.
2012-13 school year — PARCC and Smarter Balanced begin pilot testing of new standardized tests.
2013-14 school year — Field testing to continue for new standardized tests.
2014-15 school year — All participating states to begin using new standardized tests for math and English language arts. The new tests replace tests that had previously been used in each state.

Beginning in the fall of 2015, our DPT will be offered in a 4 + 3 year curricular format -- prospective students with a bachelor's degree are encouraged to apply.
In-Demand Education
As the Baby Boomer generation ages, physical therapists are in high demand. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts 77,400 physical therapy openings by 2020, a 39 percent increase, which outpaces national average.
Teaching Excellence
Our DPT core faculty have over 80 years of combined clinical experience and represent several areas of specialty practice within the profession. Students learn from professors who currently practice, publish and impart contemporary and cutting-edge practices.
Success Made Affordable
We are committed to helping students find the best ways to finance your education. You'll find there are many options our Student Financial Planning Office provides to help make your tuition more affordable. For detailed information on tuition costs, please visit our FAQ page.
Program at a Glance
- Graduate program (4+3 year program) first cohort starts Fall 2015
- Undergraduate program (3+3 year program) starting Fall 2015
- Choice of electives allowing for specialty-practice learning experiences
- Comprehensive examination, which prepares students for the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE)

Upcoming 3 + 3 Option
A 3 + 3 year option is expected be available in the Fall of 2015. This option would allow Alvernia students who are admitted as undergraduate into Healthcare Science, Biology, or Psychology to begin the professional phase of the curriculum in their senior year.

*Alvernia University is seeking accreditation of a new physical therapist education program from CAPTE. The program will submit an Application for Candidacy on or before June 1, 2014, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the professional phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in professional courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved. Further, though achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation. All students accepted into the charter DPT class of 2018 will be accepted conditionally and graduation will be contingent upon full accreditation status as granted by CAPTE.
Contact Admissions:
Students interested in the doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program from Reading, Pottsville, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Allentown, Kutztown, Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs can gain the educational experience that seeks to prepare the next generation of physical therapists.

I'm writing to you because I need a sounding board and hopefully some advice from any readers who have been in similar situations. Here goes: My husband and I are expecting our first, a girl, in early February. There was lots of my suggesting names only to have him veto them, then one day he came home from work with a twinkle in his eye and said "how about Amelia?" I immediately liked, and grew to love, the name. Even as I was "deciding," he obviously had his mind made up. So our girl had been Amelia for a couple months now, and I love the fact that he named her. We have been keeping mum on the name as far as family and friends go, waiting until after she was born.
We know a couple who just had their first baby today. The husband is a friend of my husband's, but to me they are just acquaintances. Nice people, I went to her baby shower, and we have a lot of mutual friends, again mostly through my husband. But, they are people we see regularly. There's also been a lot of fanfare around this baby, while we are more low-key people. They didn't find out the sex of their baby and for the past few weeks I had been having this nightmare that they had a baby girl and named her Amelia. Well, my nightmare came true today. They sent out a mass text message announcing the birth, name, etc. I cried. A lot.
Now folks, I am well aware that in the grand scheme of things, this is a blip on the radar. We're all healthy and employed. But I feel like my heart is breaking. And now, when I hear the name Amelia, instead of thinking of my husband murmuring our baby's name as we all fell asleep together, I think of these people's strange baby and feel confused.
What would you do? I'm open to anything.
What would I do? I would name my daughter Amelia. Or, more specifically, I would not change the name of the daughter I'd already named Amelia.
According to the Social Security Administration, 4,627 baby girls were named Amelia in 2009 alone. It's too bad some acquaintances of yours were one of the many thousands to name a baby girl Amelia in 2010, but there's no reason their choice affects yours. You have already named your baby Amelia, and I don't see anything in what you've told me about the relationship between your two families that would mean each of you having an Amelia would be a problem in any way.
You should respond to their text message: "OMG!!! This is so exciting!! Amelia is what we're naming OUR daughter!! Don't tell, okay? It's a secret! And congratulations on your Amelia! We LOVE her name!! *smiley emoticon*" If you don't want to do this, you can go to plan B, which is this: when you announce your daughter's name, you will say to them with delight, "OMG, we were SO SURPRISED when you used the name too!! But we were keeping the name a secret, so we couldn't tell you until now!"
Name update! Anna writes:
You and your readers' responses were so encouraging and we kept the name we loved, and added an unusual middle name. Amelia Morning was born February 10 at home. I did some soul searching and followed my heart with the name and the birth, and couldn't be happier. Also, the "other" Amelia's parents have been extremely gracious. If anything, we have become closer to them. The daddies call each other "Amelia's dad" and have Team Amelia playdates. All's well that ends well!

It might be payday for hundreds of Miami-Dade County Public Schools employees, including top district officials, when the School Board meets Wednesday.
Among the issues board members will take up is a collective bargaining and compensation item that -- following the approval of a teachers union contract with pay increases that kicked in during December -- sets up pay bumps for administrators both in schools and at the district's downtown office.
Principals, assistant principals, secretaries and district officials, including the cabinet of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, will receive 2.25 percent pay increases, slightly less than the 2.77 average increase for teachers. Raises will be retroactive to the Dec. 21, according to the district.
Carvalho will not get a pay raise, though the item may be a precursor to a boost for the district's head honcho following the award of the Broad Prize and his successful campaign to win $1.2 billion in voter-approved bonds. His current salary is $277,700, accoring to payroll records.
"You're not included, but that's probably something we should think about," board member Carlos Curbelo said last week during committee meetings.
Carvalho said pay increases are to be applied across the board. But "as far as administrators are concerned, individuals who may be under a disciplinary action are not eligible for a salary increase."
While teachers' raises have been negotiated, the compensation item on Wednesday's agenda also includes the district's release of $14 million in federal Race To The Top performance pay, which this year will be distributed in lesser amounts - $7,000 max, compared to $25,000 last year - and to more teachers.
Which teachers will receive payouts for their work last school year, and the value of those payments, remains under negotiation.
The School Board meets at noon in the district headquarters auditorium at 1450 NE Second Ave. in downtown Miami.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house - near to the centre of town, but in a peaceful area with plenty of shops and restaurants. The room was small, but perfectly formed, with antique furniture and a good sized bathroom next door. The homecooked breakfasts were great and Ron and Mardelle were excellent hosts. We would definitely stay here again.

Get More From Your DVD Recorder
By SmartHouse Team | Tuesday | 13/02/2007
If you have binned the old VCR and fancy a shiny new digital video recorder - here's how to get picture-perfect recordings every time.
2. Cable & satellite signalsThere's an argument for saving a few dollars and opting for a DVD recorder with an analogue TV tuner. These do tend to be cheaper, though the price gap between analogue and digital models isn't as wide as it was. Remember that the signal path between your set-top box (whatever type it is) and your recorder needs to be as direct as possible - avoid routing pictures through other kit where possible, and use short cables.
3. RGB-Scart can be bestIf you're buying a recorder to use with a set-top box, make sure it has an RGB-Scart input. Many DVD recorders don't (and we're not just talking about the cheap ones), but one will make a huge difference to image quality. If you don't have an RGB-Scart input, you might be limited to using a basic composite-video connection. If you do have the right sockets, buy a decent RGB-Scart cable.
4. Upgrade your cablingFor wall-mounted TV aerial outlet sockets, get a quality aerial cable to maximise signal quality. Keep your aerial cable away from mains cables, and avoid spooling or twisting cables: the spaghetti of cabling lurking behind many a TV isn't just unsightly, it hampers performance. Upgraded video cables are also essential: an RGB-capable Scart cable is ideal for a cheaper recorder, while many recorders justify using superior component video connections, or even HDMI, if possible.
5. Multiformat recordersThe recent format war between a series of competing recordable discs has been a monumental pain in the posterior for all concerned. Happily, it looks as if DVD recorder manufacturers have put paid to the whole thing. You can now buy multiformat recorders able to record to at least four differing blank discs, from several manufacturers - and Panasonic's latest range records to all five (DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-RAM0. We would choose a multi-format recorder wherever possible. We like our Award Winner, the Panasonic EH65.
6. Hard-disks make life easyFor the ultimate convenience, a recorder with a hard-disk drive (HDD) is a great buy, though it'll cost you more. First, it means you don't need to worry about having a blank disc: simply hit record with impunity, as your intended recording is almost certain to fit the space you have available. Hard-disks also allow some cool features, like pausing live TV - if the doorbell rings, you can pause your programme and come back to the same point in the broadcast a few minutes later. Keen home editors can also splice and dice recordings, too.
7. Keep the kids happy, too
8. Max your recording qualityUnless you absolutely can't avoid using a lower-quality mode, stick to better-quality, shorter-duration modes when setting your timed recordings. Image quality can drop off significantly in long-play modes, and you'll see the difference clearly on a good TV, especially a flatscreen. Dual-layer DVD discs can be worth using (they cost more, but several new recorders can use them). They offer nearly twice the storage capacity of standard DVD discs, giving you much more recording time or allowing better quality. Hard-disks can be even more accom¬modating: with 250GB of space, you can record around 40 hours at best-quality.
9. Don't fill up your hard disk - and keep it coolIf you have a hard-disk recorder, delete older content from it regularly to avoid crashes. We've found that most hard-disk recorders suffer from stability problems when you approach their maximum capacity. If you only have 20 percent of storage space or less on your disk, give it a spring clean, or archive some content to DVD. Also, consider where you position your kit, as anything with a hard-disk mustn't get too hot. Keep your beloved recorder away from sources of heat, such as AV amps, and make sure it's well ventilated.
10. Buy a built-inIf all this sounds too much, there is an easier solution. For the ultimate in convenience, check out LG's new range of flatscreens with a built-in PVR. Then you have the convenience of a personal video recorder, all in one box, so it looks neater in your lounge room. The 'one remote' system is also a blessing for those of us who don't have the time to get our heads around multiple remotes or fork out for a universal one.

eBay CEO John Donahoe called the current impasse in Washington over the budget deficit "enormously frustrating," encouraging the President and Congress to consider a framework similar to the Simpson-Bowles plan.
At a discussion hosted by the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Donahoe focused mostly on the future of eBay, describing efforts to take advantage of growth in mobile commerce. A former colleague of Mitt Romney's at Bain & Company, Mr. Donahoe confessed that he supported President Obama in his bid for re-election, mostly because his wife is U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Council.
