Baylor English professor Greg Garrett will be leading his annual film series "A Long, Long Way" at 8 p.m. Thursday night via Zoom.
Attendees will watch films touching on the topics of race, prejudice and justice like in previous years, but this year, after watching the films on their own, people are invited to participate in the conversation online.
In years past, Garrett had taken five undergrad students with him to the event in Washington D.C.
"Students in my race and film class this semester are required to attend," Garrett said. "Baylor's College of Arts and Sciences and Truett Seminary have also pushed out the news that the festival is online this year, so I'm hoping we have our largest Baylor engagement ever."
Normally the event is held at the Washington National Cathedral, which limits the crowd to 1,200 people. Garrett said with it being online this year, people across the country and around the world can attend, so it has the potential to be the biggest turnout ever. This year's film lineup includes "Casablanca," "Crash" and "Black Panther."
Henry Vo attended the festival in 2019, and said he watched and had discussions over Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and "BlacKkKlansman."
"This festival is important to me because I think it is an eye-opening opportunity to expose individuals to the art of film and allows us to acknowledge and appreciate the talents of the Black community," Vo said. "The Long Long Way Film Festival shows necessity of art and film and their ability to influence racial healing and reconciliation in our community — something that is desperately needed in our country today."
Garrett's 2020 book on race and film for Oxford University Press will be a focus of the discussions at this year's festival.
"I'm honored that this year we'll be entering into discussion using my book, also called A Long, Long Way, which has grown out of these and other public programs on film and race, and I hope that the book and these conversations would help push us forward toward a more humane, more just nation," Garrett said.
Growing up in the South, Garrett said racism is a central personal issue to him and is a huge part of the way he has been teaching at Baylor for over 30 years.
"In recent years, my department chair and my dean, Baylor's Provost and President Livingstone have all supported this program financially or through their presence at the event," Garrett said. "I could not be more proud of Baylor for being on the cutting edge of these anti-racism efforts on a national stage, and I look forward to years of involvement with A Long, Long Way."

With today's technology, there are many reasons to invest in "specialized" network solutions. With the use of technology, we can help you leverage your network for other purposes to improve your bottom line.
When you decide to purchase an EMR, accept the fact that you are making an investment in a network (or increasing an investment if you already have one). In most cases, the quality of your network will have far more to do with the success of your EMR implementation than the vendor you select. Furthermore, with a solid network in place, you will have far more ability and control to replace one vendor with another should the need arise. We have seen far too many instances of practices who "locked" themselves into a bad vendor relationship. Therefore, it's best to familiarize yourself with the key issues. Even if you do not plan to manage your own network, understanding the key issues will vastly improve your EMR vendor selection as well as make you a better overall practice manager, owner or partner.
To help jump start that process, we have addressed a number of key hardware/network issues:
The foundation of a high performance and reliable technology project is correct networking infrastructure. Do not cut corners or go cheap to save a few dollars.
While you are likely planning to go wireless, keep in mind that no technology is infallible. Networked medical devices, such as an integrated EKG, may require more up/down bandwidth than your wireless connection can support.
Even if you have not budgeted for network wiring, have it done. It will save you countless future migraines.
If you are building out a new space or moving to a new one, make sure to hard-wire each area where patient interaction will occur. While a single CAT-5 outlet in an exam room might seem appropriate, consider possible patient scenarios. If your physicians are using laptops or tablets, would a hard-wire connection require them to crawl behind a desk or exam table or to drape a cable over a patient? Exam rooms may require multiple outlets with at least one placed waste-high on the wall.
If you are moving into an existing building that does not have adequate network wiring, have it installed. You may not want to install it in every room but make sure you have it at the reception desks, including drops for the network printer and other network devices, the nurses station, hallway, lab and offices. Additionally, don't forget to have a drop run in the ceiling for a wireless access point (WAP) and make sure the WAP has a power source.
This is one area that practices frequently overlook. You need to dedicate a small room or closet for your server, telephone and other technology products. This room must be separately air conditioned and kept at around 70 degrees at all times. Do not let a contractor tell you an exhaust fan and vents on the door will work. It will not. Many companies make AC units for server closets and small spaces (sometimes called split wall units). Make sure you get one. A portable unit from APC costs around $1,200 (MSRP) and is worth every penny.
The network switch connects all of your computers, printers, servers, devices, and in some offices, your VOIP phones. This is another area where being frugal is not advised. We recommend that you purchase a layer 2 managed switch with the desired number of ports. In simple terms, a layer 2 switch affords more flexibility and monitor-ability.
This is the device that protects your network from the Internet. It is also the device that allows virtual private network (VPN) connections for remote offices and at-home workers. For example, think about the physician on-call or, finishing your notes at home after the kids are in bed, rather than staying late at the office.
Your internet service provider (ISP) may provide you with a commercial level Firewall/VPN/Router but they'll charge for it. The ones they provide are generally low-grade devices that are not up to the task, not to mention not compliant with many laws that require the security of information.
SNC Squared's firewall also provides the capability of real-time security management. The identity-based security appliance that delivers real-time protection against evolving external and internal threats to your business. The firewall can protect you from malware, viruses, spam, phishing, pharming and more.
The type of WAP your practice needs is not likely available at the local big box electronics stores, such as Best Buy or Office Depot. Commercial grade WAPs are expensive but are worth it for their scalability, performance, reliability and security. We cannot stress the importance of compliance and security regarding your technical equipment.

CLEMSON, S.C. — The NCEES Board of Directors has approved the development of a new PE exam for software engineers. The decision came during the board's August 11 meeting in Louisville, Ky., in conjunction with the organization's annual business meeting.
In accordance with existing exam development policies, 10 member licensing boards of NCEES presented letters supporting the proposed PE Software exam.
"The next step in the process is the PAKS, and if that goes as planned we plan to offer the exam in two-and-a half to three years," said Tim Miller, P.E., director of Exam Services at NCEES.
The PAKS, or professional activities and knowledge study, is the initial step of the exam development process. The PAKS will include a survey of a diverse sample of software engineering professionals to gather information about the relative importance of various areas of knowledge within the discipline as they relate to the protection of the public welfare. This information will be used to determine the topics covered in the exam. After the survey is complete, exam items will be written for the initial exam administration. After that, the exam will be administered yearly.
Partnering with NCEES as co-sponsor of the exam is IEEE-USA, which will be assisted by the IEEE Computer Society, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the Texas Board of Professional Engineers.
Groups representing software engineers have long maintained that software engineering should be licensed because it is increasingly practiced in areas that reach into the everyday lives of the general public, such as traffic control systems and the electrical grid. An IEEE
Computer Society survey of software engineers indicated that two-thirds of those employed in the industry support a licensure exam for their profession.
In Texas, the licensing board for professional engineers began offering licensure to software engineers in 1999 without a standardized exam covering software engineering in place. In 2006, the board changed its rules to require all applicants for licensure to pass a PE exam. This change effectively cut off the path to licensure for software engineers in the state.
"The Texas board believes that software engineering is a critical component of many engineering projects and that it's important to recognize the impact that software engineering has on the public's health, safety, and welfare," said Lance Kinney, Deputy Executive Director of the Texas board. "We're very encouraged by the support shown by IEEE, NSPE, and NCEES in the development of this exam."
Prior to the approval of the software exam, the most recent PE exam to be added to the NCEES exam offerings is the architectural engineering exam, first administered in 2002.
NCEES is a national nonprofit organization composed of engineering and surveying licensing boards representing all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. An accredited standards developer with the American National Standards Institute, NCEES develops, scores, and administers the examinations used for engineering and surveying licensure throughout the United States. NCEES also provides services facilitating professional mobility for licensed engineers and surveyors. Its headquarters is located in Clemson, S.C.; visit www.ncees.org for more information.

Tom Thibodeau smiled as if he were being given a present.
The Knicks' second-year head coach was told that betting experts expect his team to take a step back, installing their over-under win total at 42.5. The Knicks won 41 times in a shortened 72-game season a year ago.
That will only help Thibodeau to further reinforce his mantra that last season's surprisingly successful campaign doesn't mean anything.
"You have to play the games," he said after Saturday's practice. "And so we have to understand what goes into winning and the work part of it, and you do start at a zero base."
Thibodeau has used the phrase "zero base" several times over the first week of training camp in an attempt to get his players to forget any success they had a year ago. It has gotten through to his players. Just ask one of the newcomers.
"I'm not sure what it was like last year on a daily basis, but the young guys are hungry, the veterans are hungry, the coaching staff is hungry," veteran wing Evan Fournier said. "You can definitely feel that work atmosphere."
Fournier described camp so far as giving him "old school" vibes, reminiscent of his first year in the league, with the Nuggets under George Karl. That 2012-13 team won 57 games. The Knicks' work ethic is similar, Fournier said, and so is their attention to detail. That goes back to Thibodeau, the longtime NBA coach known for his intense and demanding ways.
"Exactly what I expected," Fournier said. "A coach that's about working, a coach that's very intense, that tells you things how they are, keeps it real, and just wants to get better. I think he's very good at making sure you understand what he wants from you. It's very clear. There's no gray area and there's no place for misinterpretation. As a player, especially a new guy, it's easy because you know what to do."
Fournier, who is beginning his 10th NBA season, has been part of both good and bad teams. He has reached the playoffs four times and has also suffered through three 50-loss seasons. There are no guarantees the Knicks will build off last year. Injuries and underperformance can happen. Early on, though, he sees nothing but positive signs, an indication of what kind of team this can be if the ball bounces in the right direction.
"Guys are staying in [the gym later]. When guys are tired they aren't shortcutting stuff. They're actually doing more," Fournier said. "You have to be out there to see it. But it's very obvious.
"There's just that old school mentality for sure."
In that sense, perhaps Thibodeau's mantra that the Knicks are starting over is somewhat off. They built a foundation last year, with hard work and accountability expected. A culture was created. They added high-character players, such as Fournier and Kemba Walker, who have won before and plan on doing so again this season. From the outside, the general consensus is the Knicks could take a step back. Before last season began, however, they weren't even supposed to sniff the playoffs.
"If we went by what they said last year, we never would've done what we did," Thibodeau said. "And so, whether it's praise or criticism, treat it the same. And it doesn't really matter what outsiders think. It matters what we think. And we have the understanding of what we're doing each and every day."

Heroes don't always wear capes. Sometimes they come in the form of backup quarterbacks who keep a season alive despite crushing injuries.
To nobody's surprise, Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer officially named Case Keenum Sunday's starter against the Cleveland Browns. At Twickenham Stadium, Keenum will have an opportunity to put the Vikings in the driver's seat to win the NFC North – something you might not have seen possible with both Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater out for all but six quarters this season.
In each of Keenum's weekly press conferences, there has been a similar refrain: He always prepares as if he' going to start. That was on display against the Chicago Bears when he went 17-for-21 with a touchdown pass in relief of Bradford. This week, the Vikings' veteran backup is showing respect to a defense that has been among the worst against the pass in the NFL, allowing a 105.7 passer rating against.
"It's a Greg Williams defense, so I know we have our work cut out for us," Keenum said, adding, "I've been around him enough to know that he's got something up his sleeve for every situation. It's a matter of being prepared or being prepared for the unexpected, if that makes sense."
This could be the last we see of Keenum.
While Zimmer has avoided giving daily "how's Teddy look?" updates, the return of Teddy Bridgewater appears to be looming as the Vikings' quarterback has been back working with the team for the last two weeks.
In Bridgewater's lone media availablity this year, he noted that the team has a plan over several weeks to prepare him to play.
With the bye week coming up next, there's a possibility he could start against Washington.
There's also a chance we could see Bradford again – though each week that goes by without Bradford practicing diminishes the chances of him ever suiting up in purple agian.
On Friday, Zimmer was asked how good he believes the Vikings can be this year. He was mostly vague saying, "I think we have a chance to be pretty good."
Until he sees Bradford or Bridgewater back under center, it's hard to commit to the Vikings being great. But they could be great with a proven NFL starter under center. The Vikings have a top 10 defense and top 10 running game, plus a solid O-line that hasn't allowed a sack since the first half in Chicago and two of the league's best receivers.
The long-term success of the Vikings this season with Keenum under center would be harder to bet on. Over his career, the former Houston star has won just 12 of 29 games and has an 80.4 rating. It's hard to see the Vikings beating the best of the NFC with performances like the last four weeks in which he's averaged 196 yards per game and posted an 81.5 rating.
But for the short term, if Keenum takes care of business against Cleveland, he will have done a magnificent job. Normally when a starting quarterback goes down, his team should start looking at the next year's draft. For the Vikings, they're looking at winning the division – so long as Keenum is the hero again on Sunday – or at least does enough for the Vikings to win with running and defense.
The post Case Keenum has another chance to play hero vs. Browns appeared first on 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.

Dark Times Collaboration is a new, original music project, founded by guitarist Guilherme Miranda (Entombed AD, KroW) and guitarist/producer Brian "Mitts" Daniels (ex-Madball, Skarhead, Rag Men). It includes bassist Chris O'Toole (Unearth, Turbid North), drummer Jono Garrett (Turbid North, Mos Generator), featured vocalist Ori Frank of Israeli hardcore band Eternal Struggle, and an appearance by Brazilian hip hop artist Phantom DK. Working entirely remotely during the 2020 pandemic, the group has written and recorded an original song entitled "Turning Point" that was mixed by Kristian Kohlmannslehner at Kohlekeller Studios in Seeheim, Germany.
About the inspiration for the project:
Guilherme — Well for me, the idea of the project was to use it as a way to connect with people and make music. I always wanted to do something like this, with Mitts in mind. This year has been extremely challenging, psychologically speaking, and I thought it was an opportunity to put something out, to connect with people from all over the world. To give a voice and a place to speak for people like Phantom and Ori, who live in 2 completely different parts of the world, with totally different backgrounds. I wanted to find a way to unite styles and cultures to show that with music we can be unified.
About the song lyrics for Turning Point:
Mitts — We tried to touch on the events of the summer of 2020, specifically the movements in protest of ignorance, intolerance, racism, police militarization, oppression. We tried to avoid labels like "left-wing" vs. "right-wing" and things like that. The song isn't a political message. We hope 2020 will be a "turning point" where the world moves towards a more tolerant, inclusive, diverse direction for all people, regardless of race, religion, or social status.

Reply to: Tables not rendered in XMetaL 11 and 12September 19, 2017 at 5:13 pm
Thank you for the post, Derek.
While waiting to see if I can upload our XSD (it is "owned" by another group), I will add a bit of information to my previous post.
I noticed that a table is properly rendered in Normal and Tags-on views immediately after the table is inserted in the document. I can switch between the Normal and Tags-on views with no effect on the table. However, as soon as I switch to Plain Text view (or close and re-open the document), the table is no longer rendered. I attached a picture with some excerpts to illustrate.
Many thanks.

California State University Drops SAT And ACT For Undergraduate Admission
The Cal State University system has dropped the use of SAT and ACT standardized tests from its undergraduate admissions process. The system's board of trustees approved the change on Wednesday, citing concerns that the exams unfairly favor students from privileged backgrounds.
The change comes on the heels of a similar move at the University of California, which permanently nixed the tests last year. Both university systems temporarily suspended the tests at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in part because of the potential threat of testing in person.
During this week's CSU Board of Trustees meeting, members of its educational policy committee said that, when reviewing the "relevancy and role" of standardized test results, they considered research regarding disparate outcomes based on socioeconomic backgrounds, along with data pointing to the "negligible value of test scores in predicting student success."
In lieu of standardized testing, CSU will adopt the multi-factor admissions process that's been used during the pandemic. This process will consider students' GPA, extracurricular activities and leadership roles. It will also take into account when applicants are the first in their families to go to college or attend a high school where a high percentage of students receive free or reduced-price meals.
Krystal Raynes, a first-generation student majoring in computer science and business at Cal State Bakersfield, is a student trustee. She supported the change, citing her own experience.
"I remember saving up my lunch money to take both the PSAT and the SAT because my parents didn't know what that was, and they didn't want to spend money on retaking a test. So, that's how I saved up for the SAT," she said. "Meanwhile, I knew students that were prepping with tutors in junior high. And so there's definitely that economic gap there."
Michele Siqueiros, president of the Campaign for College Opportunity, a nonprofit that works to increase educational access for Californians, lauded the change.
"A single 3-hour test on a Saturday morning has never measured a student's full talent or potential," she said.
A single 3-hour test on a Saturday morning has never measured a student's full talent or potential.
"What these tests have measured is the unfair advantage that privileged and wealthier students have, including access to expensive test prep, which focus on how to 'game' the test instead of measuring the knowledge gained by students in their high school courses," she said in a statement. "As the nation's largest four-year university system, educating over 480,000 students, the CSU is sending a clear message to Black, Latinx, low-income and first-generation students that they belong in California higher education."
CSU joins a growing number of higher education institutions rethinking their admissions criteria. Nationwide, one estimate by the advocacy group FairTest finds that at least 1,825 four-year institutions have dropped the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission.

How to Reduce Your No-Shows by 10% in One Month
No-shows are an unfortunate reality for any business. Even with the fairest and most well-intentioned reservation system in place, customers will sometimes forget their appointment. They might have a perfectly valid reason , but it's still a missed appointment that needs to be tracked and handled accordingly. Clients may be more inclined to miss sessions without notice if they see the act isn't handled savitri by the business.
No-shows can be especially problematic for businesses with time-sensitive appointments, such as hair salons or spa services, where a missed appointment means someone won't get the service they scheduled and were willing to pay for. This can be especially damaging if the business is new or small and has limited resources in terms of rescheduling services or accommodating walk-ins on short notice.
Why Are No-Shows Such a Problem?
Because missed appointments often result in "no-shows," the terms are often used interchangeably. But the reasons for missing an appointment, how customers reschedule and how a business handles no-shows, all vary.
The negative impact of no-shows can be far-reaching. First, missed appointments often lead to empty appointment times on your calendar, which means less revenue for the business.
If your business is appointment-based, you rely on consistent demand for your services, so empty appointment times can impact your overall cash flow. In addition it can cause frustration among your staff, especially if they work an hourly rate and come in especially for these appointment.
Identifying the Root Cause of Your No-Shows
It can be difficult to pinpoint why customers are missing appointments at your business, which makes it tricky to come up with a solution. But in order to start addressing no-shows, you need to figure out why they're happening in the first place.
While it's impossible to prevent every missed appointment, you can minimize the reasons. If you notice that a particular reason is common, you can use it as inspiration to come up with a solution to reduce no-shows.
Some common reasons customers miss appointments include:
- Customers are unfamiliar with your scheduling system.
- Customers aren't sure how long their appointment will take.
- Customers are forgetting their reservations.
- Customers don't value your services enough to reschedule.
The One Month Plan to Reducing Your No-Shows by 10%
Step One: assess your current situation
Before you implement any changes to your business, you need to set a baseline for how many no-shows are happening now. With a clear picture of your current no-show rate, you'll be able to track the effectiveness of your new initiatives. For a week or two, track the number of no-shows happening at your business. Note when they occur and what you plan to do in response. Then, use this data to inform your next steps.
Step Two: Have a Commitment Conversation With Clients
Before you start to implement changes to your business, you need to talk to your customers about how to make reservations more valuable. A commitment conversation is a great way to set clear expectations for your customers. Before they make a reservation, make your cancelation policy clear and explain what can happen if the costumer misses more than one session.
At the end of the appointment it is recommended to ask the client when they would like to return for their next session and solidify a date. Customers appreciate being asked about their future plans, and committing to a specific date gives them an extra reminder to keep their next appointment, it also gives you an opportunity to ask them about their experience.
Step Three: Educate Your Customers About Rescheduling
Once you've identified customers who are routinely missing their appointments, you'll want to start educating them about how to reschedule.
Some clients may not be aware that rescheduling to a different date or time is an option and instead skip the session they pre booked.
Even if the reason behind the no-show was understandable and valid, you may feel frustrated at customers who are missing their appointments. Try using this situation as a learning opportunity. Talk to the customer who missed their appointment and ask them why. Is there a way you can improve your scheduling system to make it easier for them to reschedule?
Step Four: Brainstorm and Narrow Down Your Best Ideas
Make time in your schedule for a meeting with your team dedicated to coming up with ideas on how to reduce no shown. Then, narrow down your best ones to help employees focus on those ideas. It's important that you keep an open mind and don't fixate on traditional methods, as you might come up with a creative and out of the box solutions.
If your employees are not too keen on helping, try making things more interesting for them.
At one hair salon, for example, the number of no-shows was so high, they decided to hold a contest and see which employee can come up with the best solutions. The salon ended up with a wide range of ideas, including sending text reminders, emailing appointment details and building a website that would allow customers to easily reschedule.
Step Five: Ask for Feedback Throughout the Month
The final step in reducing no shows is to stay in constant communication with your customers. Unlike the previous stages, this stage is evergoing as client communication should be kept to preserve and maintain your relationship with them.
While you can narrow down the reasons why people miss appointments, you won't be able to eliminate them entirely. But you can make your customers feel more valued and reduce their reasons for missing appointments by asking for feedback throughout the month.
Depending on your business you can use surveys, social media polls or conversation starters to get the information.Whether you're looking for feedback on your scheduling system, your hours, or your pricing, customer feedback can help you make small changes that will have a big impact on reducing no-shows.

Awakening Lion @ Shenzhen Grand Theater – Luohu
November 25, 2022 @ 8:00 pm – 11:59 pm

There's something infectious about music from the islands, especially when it comes to the music. After being privy to the sounds of Bankie Banx Moonsplash Festival at Anguilla's Dune Preserve, it was only natural to take notes on some of the sounds from the three-night celebration. From the deeply rooted legacy of Bankie Banx and his son Omari Banks, to British Dependency's reggae rock fusion, to Mighty Mystic's odes to "Cali Green," there were plenty of sonic takeaways for unfamiliar earbuds.
To get ears prepped for the sounds of a vibesy summer, we've create a starter playlist of our own with some of our favorite Moonsplash performers. This is not an end-all-be-all roster, but a prompt for your own musical exploration. While you update your playlist, flip through for pictures of the men and women who rocked the stage.

Even famous Hollywood stars can find themselves in some precarious situations where they need to rely on the help of those committed to serving our communities. Recently, one famous funnyman found this out first hand as longtime actor and Saturday Night Live alum, Rob Schneider called for help after his car broke down on a Scottsdale Arizona freeway.
On December 22, just days before the Christmas holiday, Rob Schneider was traveling across his home state of Arizona when he became stranded in his Tesla.
In need of some help, the Grown Ups star called on area officers to come to his aid. A helping hand for which the actor is very grateful.
And, Rob Schneider certainly wasn't shy about telling his social media followers how thankful he was for the Scottsdale police department's dedication to the job when they came to his aid that Wednesday afternoon.
"A huge THANK YOU to Scottsdale Finest @ScottsdalePD for all your help today when my car broke down!" the funnyman exclaims in his December 22 Twitter post. "Thanks, Officer Lee!" Rob Schneider adds. "YOU CAN DO IT!!"
According to recent reports, Scottsdale Arizona officers were called in to help a motorist with a disabled vehicle located in North Scottsdale last Wednesday. Once the officers responded to the call, they were surprised to find the famous funnyman was the one who needed the rescue.
"I said, 'Wait a second. That is Mr. Schneider, as in the Rob Schneider?'" the responding officer says of the moment.
Rob Schneider Is a Familiar Face to Responding Officers
Clearly, Arizona police officer Paul Lee recognized the longtime comedian who has made a prolific career over the years. Rob Schneider has also starred in a variety of famous films; many of which are the projects of Schneider's actor and comedian pal, Adam Sandler.
"I said, 'Wait, Mr. Schneider?'" the North Scottsdale officer continues. "And he gave me the nod and that is how we broke the ice on that."
Rob Schneider reports that while the Scottsdale Arizona finest was coming to help him in the harrowing ordeal, they were quite personable. Even making small talk as they remedied the situation.
Schneider was even happy to talk about some of his hit films with the men in blue. According to officer Lee, Rob Schneider was "very appreciative" of the help they gave him during the stressful time.
"It was a nice interaction," the Arizona officer says. "These days there are a lot of negativity."

Leading Question
The homeless are a red-hot issue among businesspeople who say they are seeing increased numbers congregating in visible, public locations in downtown Sarasota and Bradenton. They scare away prospective shoppers and diners, discourage new commercial tenants from signing leases and convince potential condo buyers to look elsewhere, according to the complaints.
Richard Martin, executive director of the Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness, which covers Sarasota and Manatee, knows all the fears and doesn't want to brush off the concerns, even if, as he believes, they are often unfounded.
It's difficult to accurately count the homeless, but the latest tally of people who have received services and/or consider themselves homeless in Sarasota-Manatee from Jan. 1 to Nov. 14, 2010, is 6,445—an increase over the last couple of years because of the recession and returning U.S. Iraqi and Afghanistan veterans, according to Martin. A percentage of these are the chronic homeless—on the streets for one year, or four times over the course of a year.
Solutions exist, but "they are gulp kind of solutions," Martin says. The latest model: Housing First, which emphasizes putting the chronically homeless into permanent housing. For the most incorrigible, this is the only solution, since they tend to have physical, mental or/and or substance abuse problems and can never live independently. It comes at a cost to taxpayers, of course, many of whom are working day and night to keep a roof over their own heads. To provide clean shelter, food and healthcare to the chronically homeless—most of them unemployed—"seems unfair," Martin admits, but it may cost less in the long-term (certainly less than jails or hospitals), and can reduce homelessness, "so it benefits the entire community."
The homeless here are served by many entities, including the Bill Galvano One Stop Center in Bradenton, which does not provide housing but does provide food, clothing, healthcare, dental care, social services and job services. The Salvation Army on 10th Street in Sarasota provides many of these services in addition to emergency and transitional housing.
For national models, Miami-Dade's Community Partnership for Homeless is one of the most effective. Started in 1995, it provides one-stop temporary care for the homeless—housing, education, healthcare, job counseling and one-on-one case management—that has reduced the homeless population in Miami-Dade 91 percent in 15 years, from 8,000 to 759. It was funded after voters there passed a tax on restaurants with liquor licenses that make more than $400,000 in annual revenues.
Pinellas Hope in Clearwater is another model. This 10-acre site donated by the Diocese of St. Petersburg, for a maximum of 250 adults, is a tent city—"another gulp," says Martin—who adds it's nonetheless "a remarkable model in our back yard." A partnership of government, nonprofits and business, Pinellas Hope provides temporary shelter in small tents and wooden sheds, food, social services and job counseling and has served 2,300 people with a 55 percent success rate. Pinellas Hope receives public funding from sources including Pinellas County government and the City of St. Petersburg.
Martin says every community needs a custom solution, but a common denominator in the Miami and Pinellas examples has been that community and business leaders have stepped forward. The community has a chance to weigh in on this issue at the "10-Year Plan to End Homelessness Community Meeting," on Saturday, Feb. 5, at Church of the Redeemer Parish Hall. RSVPs not required.
