Thank you for your interest in a Sierra Club internship. With over 1.4 million members, the Sierra Club is one of our nation's largest grassroots conservation organizations. We seek to accomplish our mission statement, to explore, enjoy and protect the wild places of the Earth, through active education and promotion of the responsible use of the Earth's ecosystems.
Pivotal in this endeavor, the Washington DC Legislative office concentrates on monitoring legislative activities and public policy decisions of environmental concern, while also educating Congress, the public, and Sierra Club members regarding the quality of the natural environment.
Our year-round issue internships provide a hands-on opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the field of environmental protection and the specific role that the Sierra Club plays in it. An intern may be expected to conduct research, gather and analyze information, help develop background information on a specific issue, write summaries and fact sheets, and prepare briefing materials, among many other tasks. D.C. Office Interns also learn firsthand how Congress works and the role of other non-governmental organizations in Washington as they help prepare Congressional testimony, accompany staff on visits to Congressional offices and monitor Congress. Interns are selected on the basis of their interests, education and experience in related fields. We especially seek interns who have been directly involved in conservation work and have good communication and writing skills. Our normal intern rotations are in the fall, winter/spring, and summer but we are flexible with other starting dates.
The Washington DC Legislative office of the Sierra Club offers issue internships in the following areas only:
Beyond Natural Gas Campaign: Fossil fuels have no part in America's energy future -- coal, oil, and natural gas are literally poisoning us. The emergence of natural gas as a significant part of our energy mix is particularly frightening because it dangerously postpones investment in clean energy at a time when we should be doubling down on wind, solar and energy efficiency. Natural gas drillers exploit government loopholes, ignore decades-old environmental protections, and disregard the health of entire communities. "Fracking," a violent process that dislodges gas deposits from shale rock formations is known to contaminate drinking water and pollute the air. Natural gas production and use also threatens our climate with dangerous carbon dioxide and methane air pollution. The Sierra Club's Beyond Natural Gas campaign aims to stop dirty and destructive drilling and eliminate most natural gas use in our nation. More information about this program. Internship information.
Beyond Oil Campaign: Americans consume 25 percent of the world's produced oil, yet our nation has less than 3 percent of the world's proven oil reserves. If left unchecked our appetite for oil will continue to grow, and the costs of this dangerous addiction are high. Every year we send billions of dollars overseas, much of it to hostile regimes that do not share America's values. Our addiction to oil puts the entire nation at risk and leaves our economy vulnerable to price shocks. Oil is a leading source of smog, particulate matter, and other toxic pollution that contributes to tens of thousands of deaths each year. Our addiction is the cause of oil spills in our rivers and oceans, poisoning our drinking water sources, polluting our communities and destroying fragile ecosystems. It's time to break Big Oil's stranglehold on our nation. The Sierra Club's Beyond Oil campaign aims to cut America's addiction to oil by stopping destructive and dirty fossil fuels and promoting real solutions such as smart transportation systems, clean cars, and clean, renewable energy that won't run out. More information about this program. Internship information.
Media Department:The Media team promotes Sierra Club's mission with the production of press releases and statements, social media content, and other press materials for use by national reporters, editors, and producers. Internship information.
Labor and Trade: To meet surging demand for cheap products, our natural resources have been exploited while the rights of workers, communities and the environment are pushed aside to make way for corporate profit. The Labor and Trade Program wants trade that is clean, green, and fair, where peoples' lives and livelihood's are protected. More information about this program.
Environmental Justice (Not Accepting Fall Interns): The Environmental Justice committee aids communities as they tackle many issues caused by industrial pollution such as contaminated drinking water due to coal industry's mountaintop-removal mining. More information about this program.
Environmental Law: The Sierra Club is the nation's leader in grassroots environmental litigation. The Sierra Club's Environmental Law Program directs legal strategy for the Sierra Club's climate recovery campaigns and chapters. The Environmental Law Program's docket covers the entire range of environmental issues, from local fights over polluting coal plants to cases of national significance on greenhouse gases, toxic pollution, clean air, clean water, and wilderness preservation. More information about this program. Summer 2013 internship information. Fall 2013 internship information
Environmental Quality: The Sierra Club wants to foster vibrant, healthy communities with clean water and air that are free from toxic chemical threats. Our goals include protecting drinking water sources, preventing sewage pollution, protecting communities threatened by mountaintop removal mining, promoting clean water in rural communities, and addressing climate change and its impacts on water resources. More information about this program.
Public Lands: Sierra Club's Lands Protection Program works to preserve, protect, and restore America's natural heritage by informing the public about issues related to the Sierra Club's land and wildlife protection agenda; promoting policies that protect our nation's natural heritage; as well as promoting the biological, scenic, recreational, and cultural values of America's special places. More information about this program.
Coal: Coal is one of the most polluting sources of energy available, jeopardizing our health and our environment. To abate the damaging effects of coal on the climate and the environment, the Coal team actively works to stop coal production while encouraging clean energy investing in wind, solar, and other renewable energy. More information about this program.
Global Warming and Energy: Global Warming and Energy team works to improve vehicle fuel economy, while promoting the increased use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, and reducing overall emissions as part of a comprehensive national energy plan. More information about this program.
Political Department: The Political Department manages the Club's participation in elections, including making political endorsements and contributions, organizing local volunteer efforts in elections, conducting research on candidates, and training volunteers. More information about this program.
The Sierra Student Coalition (SSC): SSC organizes with high school and college students across the country to advance campaigns for environmental progress. As the generation with the most to lose from inaction on environmental and energy policy, the SSC encourages future leaders through its commitment to building and advancing the movement for a more just and sustainable future. For more information visit www.ssc.org.
Mission Outdoors: Mission Outdoors is working to reconnect America with the outdoors. People are spending less and less time outdoors than ever before. Today's children especially are growing up detached from the natural world. Sierra Club's Mission Outdoors program is working to reverse this trend by ensuring all people have opportunities and encouragement to explore and enjoy the outdoors and the natural world. The Washington, DC-based Mission Outdoors internship will focus on partnerships and policy to increase access and opportunities for more people, from all walks of life, to explore and enjoy the planet. More information about this program.
Polling & Research: The Communications Department relies on the latest polling and research to guide the Club's communication strategy and messaging. Internship Information.
Operations: The Sierra Club team is looking for a student interested in non-profit administration to join their DC Operations team for a fall internship. This internship is focused on the behind-the-scenes work of a large environmental non-profit including budget, logistics, risk management, training, compliance, and administration. Typical responsibilities would include:
Applicants should be proficient with Microsoft word and excel. Knowledge of basic non-profit administration and/or finance rules is preferred. The desire to learn about balancing the best business interests of an organization with the complex strategies and goals of campaigns, Chapters, and volunteers is a must!
Strategic Partnership Internship Program: The Sierra Club is the country's oldest and largest environmental non-profit committed to promoting sustainability and protecting our country's lands. The Strategic Partnership Program utilizes key relationships with political champions, union allies, youth activists and environmental justice partners in all aspects of our work.

KRChoksey has recommended hold rating on HDFC Bank with a target of Rs 592, in its June 12, 2012 research report.
KRChoksey has recommended hold rating on HDFC Bank with a target of Rs 592, in its June 12, 2012 research report.
"HDFC Bank, loan book and Deposits grew 22.2% & 18.3% in FY12. Retail loan book outpaced the corporate loan book mainly due to tactical move to rundown of wholesale book and strong underlying drivers in retail space. The bank continue to witness strong growth in Auto loans, CVs and business banking segments driving retail loan book growth. The management expects retail loans to continue to grow faster than corporate loans in FY13. Corporate loan book is likely to see some pick up in H2FY13. Corporate sales held up well which in turn drive working capital demand in the system. We expect loan book to grow 20% CAGR over FY12-FY14 and NII to grow 18.9% CAGR driven by 20% CAGR in loan book & stable margins. Core fee income increased 18.9% in FY12. Retail and corporate segment contribute 80% and 20% respectively to total fee income. Lower commission on traditional insurance products and tepid volume growth were primary drivers for subdued retail distribution fee income. The management expects ~ 17-18% growth in core fee income supported by retail business and revival of corporate fees in FY13. Forex income grew strongly 37.4% y-o-y in FY12 on the high volatility in rupee. We believe stability in rupee may result into slow down forex fee income going forward." "HDFC Bank has added 558 branches in the last year. Broadly newly open branches start to contribute to profitability in two years from the commencement. The management is confident to maintain ~ 47-48% CASA levels in medium term. In addition to this, the bank plans to add 250-300 branches per year in next 3-5 years which will support CASA mobilization strategy & priority sector requirements. HDFC bank's asset quality trend continues to relatively stronger in challenging macro environment largely attributable to benefits of CIBIL ratings, stringent credit origination practices after global financial crisis in retail sector, high wage inflation. Average credit costs have been ~ 156bps over FY07-FY11, which went down further to 37bps in FY12, lowest in the bank's history. We believe superior retail portfolio behaviors and lowest credit costs behind us and overall credit costs is likely to increase in next few years from FY12 levels , so we are factoring in 80bps and 90bps credit costs in FY13 & FY14 respectively against 37bps in FY12." "We believe superior risk adjusted margins, strong earnings visibility (18.9% CAGR over FY12- FY14), superior return ratios, impeccable asset quality and strong CASA ratios are key value drivers for the stock. At Rs 546 the stock is quoting at 3.3x FY14e adjusted book and 17.5x FY13e earnings, we believe strong business model and higher earning visibility deserve premium valuation. We have revised our target price to Rs592 due to roll over to FY14 estimates. We maintain HOLD rating on the stock with target price of Rs592," says KRChoksey research report.

Catching up with ex-boyfriends always makes me feel like stabbing a person. Usually myself, for not knowing any better, and sometimes the unsuspecting ex-boyfriend, for finally admitting that he was an asshole/committed a very assholey thing. You'd think that this admission of guilt would absolve him of all his sins and make us the best of friends, but when you're a person who harbors grudges the way people collect stamps or old coins, such confessions only makes you kind of angrier. The anger is mostly directed at the errant former amour, but now that I think about it, I get angry at myself too. No one should ever have to put up with crap from another person in the name of love and relive these crappy moments way after the fact. But then again, isn't that what relationships are about – loving the other person despite the crap they throw at you? And don't conversations with ex-boyfriends inevitably go back to Where Did Things Go Wrong?
Anyway, the conversation that spurred this post was with an ex-boyfriend you probably don't know, so don't even bother trying to figure out who he is. He caught me online while I was checking something on Skype, and I replied to his message because we haven't really spoken in years. After saying hi, hello, and "I thought you were moving to Japan to join your amoeba girlfriend?", I found out that he finally got his MA in Linguistics and is now working three jobs – one at Apple, one at a language school, and one in porn. I did a double-take when I saw "porn" and I dropped the other Internet things I was doing. Holy shit my ex-boyfriend works in porn! I tried to extort more details. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE WORKING IN PORN?? LIKE ARE YOU BEHIND THE SCENES OR ARE YOU IN PORN?" I bugged him incessantly, but he was being very coy about the whole thing. He even left me hanging for a few minutes when he signed out of Skype, because he was apparently at work. At the Apple job, not the porn job.
Eventually, I manged to get him to admit what he does – just solo masturbation stuff, no actual sex. Apparently, it pays very well and times are hard, even with two other jobs. I consider myself a pretty open-minded person but I have to admit, I was being mildly scandalized by this revelation. I have an ex-boyfriend who works in porn! An ex-boyfriend who refused to have sex with me several times, no less!
We tried to move on to other topics from there (okay fine, he started asking about my sex life and it was awkward) but I just had to make a snipe at him. His seeming lack of libido was one of the reasons why we ended the relationship I broke up with him. The other reason was his refusal to let me stay in his apartment when I visited him because his Korean roommate didn't want me there.
Me: Can I just point out that it's extremely ironic that you now work in porn when you were pretty much disinterested in sex then?
Him: Are u kidding? I always wanted to have sex. U re awesome in bed.
Me: Lies.
And then, the question that makes any conversation with an ex-boyfriend go sour. The kind that starts with "You can be honest with me now."
Me: Okay, you can be honest with me now. Were you sleeping with your Korean roommate?
Him: Not slept, but made out.
Thankfully we had a weird open relationship thing going on (which I made sure to use when I got lonely) so I don't actually hate him for getting intimate with the girl. But I was irritated to find out the truth this late, especially since he said no when I asked him if there was anything going on with the roommate then. Things would have been so much easier if he just admitted it. We could have broken up right then and there instead of letting the relationship drag on two more months. I could have spent the rest of my trip with the guy I met at the hostel, guilt-free. He could have had his Korean chick. Who, by the way, look nothing like the girls you see on Korean soap operas.
I abandoned the conversation shortly after because he started coming on to me and it felt so fucking weird and inappropriate. Not to mention he was two and a half years too late.
I'd like to think that I can maintain healthy friendships with my ex-boyfriends once we get over the butthurt we caused each other, but this is the third ex I've tried to have a friendly conversation with that left me feeling…weird. For a couple of weeks, I have been thinking about why it's so difficult for me to carry a friendly conversation with any of my exes, let alone stay friends with them. Eventually, I narrowed it down to three reasons:
Some wrongs can't be forgiven
My anal retentiveness prevents my own butthurt from healing as well as it should, even though it's been years and I really should be over it by now. It's not that I hate my exes for the people that they are. Rather, there are just certain wrongs that I can't forgive, and it makes friendship almost impossible because I will keep bringing it up every now and then, in an attempt to find some sort of closure. I will never forgive this ex for essentially breaking my heart after I flew halfway across the world just to see him, all because of his ugly Korean roommate. We can never have a conflict-free friendship because of this.
Sex gets in the way
Some guys think that just because I found them fuckable once, I'll probably keep on wanting to fuck for the rest of my life. It's annoying to see an ex with the intention to hang out, only to end up fumbling for each other's underwear later. (It's hard to say no when you're really turned on and haven't gotten laid in months, okay?) I haven't slept with an ex in years though, and it's not happening anytime soon because I'm currently in a relationship. But whether or not I am interested in having sex, it feels frustrating when exes do make their sexual intentions clear, or when they assume you want to sleep with them when you call. Whatever happened to just plain old hanging out? Has it ever occurred to them that maybe I just want someone to talk to about nothing in particular? Do they pay attention to me because they care about what's happening in my life, or do they just see me as an easy booty call? I'll never know the answer to that last question, because I'd rather die than ask them.
We no longer have anything in common
At the end of the day, once you're done exchanging how-are-you's and what-do-you-do-now's, I've come to realize that I don't have anything more to say to my ex. Maybe that's why some of my platonic social visits end up being sexual encounters or mini-confrontations. I mean, what else is there to discuss once you've gotten the social pleasantries out of the way? When you break up with someone and spend the next few years incommunicado, you're practically strangers the next time you meet, because all the new people you've met and the experiences you've had turned you into different persons. And more often than not, the person you are now is so incompatible with the person your ex has become, maintaining a civilized friendship becomes almost impossible.
I'd like to show one more conversation to illustrate this final reason. Out of boredom one evening, I decided to poke a different ex-boyfriend, one whose misdeeds I also can't forgive. I don't know why I felt like talking to him in particular that night. Maybe it's because earlier that day, I read a derisive article about the movie adaptation of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. This ex-boyfriend introduced me to Ayn Rand when we were in college and I became quite an arrogant asshole for it, then I went to grad school and realized that Marxist theory makes far more sense than Rand's lofty praise of capitalism. I was curious to see if he was still a Rand-worshipper. I don't know why I expected him to be otherwise.
I asked him if he had heard that there was going to be an Atlas Shrugged movie. He replied several minutes later saying that yes, it's coming out in April and he is "cautiously excited" about it. I started typing something along the lines of, "Oh wow, I can't believe you still believe in Ayn Rand after so many people have debunked Objectivism and pointed out her many hypocrisies," but I quickly hit backspace and decided to end the conversation right there. Why bother? He's still going to think that John Galt's 20-page speech was the most brilliant thing ever written. I'm still going to think he's a moron for it, and I'm still going to hate him for being the worst boyfriend I have ever had. Sometimes, it's just better to hit the X button when an ex messages you, or when you feel the impulse to talk to one.

Deep straw yellow in colour with a green hue. Intense and full of character, with integrated aromatic notes of citrus and tropical fruit, white peach, pink grapefruit and wisteria. On the palate it has plenty of character with elegantly mineral elements. The acidity is well integrated with the fruit, making for a harmonious whole which is without a doubt one of the finest examples of this variety to be found anywhere on the planet.
Lively citrus and grassy herb aromas. The palate is medium to light in body, dry and with good limey acidity that magnifies the citrus and mineral characters. Lengthy, clean and absolutely no oak on this 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Straw in colour, with an intensely floral fragrance. The Pinot Bianco offers ripe green fruit character and aroma while the Pinot Grigio balances the acidity and adds complexity with some peachy, steely, mineral tones. Dry, crisp and refreshing finish.
Pale straw in colour with green hues. Lovely white peach & pear fruit aromas, creamy 'barrel ferment' & cashew nut supported by a citrus/mineral freshness. The palate is an intoxicating mix of stone fruit purity with an edgy flintiness. Vanillin oak spice richness finishing with a crisp, clean acid tail.
This Chardonnay with a splash of Chenin Blanc has a full nose of white fruit ( peach, pineapple). Clean and fresh.
Full, balanced and very aromatic. Depending on the vintage, the principal aromas of Gewurztraminer are lychee, rose, ginger and geranium. The Trimbach Gewurztraminer is dry and shows classic restraint, without any loss of the Gewurztraminer's exotic and spicy feature.
The delicate, aromatic nose is dominated by the citrus family; lemon, grapefruit and lime, with tropical hints, white flower and a mineral note from the Prensal Blanc. The palate is fresh, saline and mineral with good acidity and lots of tangy lemon zing.
There is a deft touch of wood surrounding the white orchard fruit and honeysuckle aromas that have glimpses of oyster shell poking through. The rich, forward and relatively generous flavours possess a seductive mouth feel and excellent complexity on the dry for the vintage finish. This should age well for the medium term.
Grecanico is a native Sicilian grape which produces a complex, aromatically defined white wine with lively citrusy fruit character on the nose and the palate, and well balanced, fresh acidity on the finish.
Light gold colour. Complex and elegant nose with hints of vanilla, honeysuckle and wild fennel. Dense, mouth filling palate, with hints of nuts as well as of toasted wood and an underlying reminiscence
of fine lees.

The physicians and skincare experts at SkinSpirit concentrate their nonsurgical beautifying powers on restoring and rejuvenating every corporeal form in sight. During the signature facial, a medical-grade microdermabrasion first breaks through the skin's outer shell, forever quieting the dull conversations of expired skin cells and replacing them with the polished banter of a youthful façade. Then the skilled staff paves freshly smoothed veneers with a warm enzyme exfoliant before applying a double-layer antioxidant mask. Once the mask has finished uploading a brand-new personality to your face, a layer of enzyme serum gives your mug a hug while a copper-peptide-rich moisturizer refuels subdermal collagen generators and pampers sensitive skin to the point of looking, feeling, and acting younger than it did yesterday or the day before yesterday, but not two days after the day before yesterday.
Technicians at Barbarella Beauty greet guests with a snack and complimentary wine or coffee as they sink into Human Touch massage chairs. During pedicures, feet soak in an elegant crystal bowl and pipe-less jet whirlpool technology are designed for both comfort and cleanliness. Because the team members only service natural nails, they avoid the chemical vapors often associated with synthetic applications, so guests won't have to cringe at unpleasant odors. After feet have been citrus scrubbed or peppermint masked, the staff can finish them with a Rockstar glitter-toes look that is as dazzling as the salon's sparkly ceiling.
As their polish dries, clients can explore the boutique's selection of eye-catching jewelry and accessories. Alternatively, they can take advantage of the crew's other talents, including body waxing, facials, and haircuts performed in front of makeup mirrors that are reminiscent of a celebrity's dressing room.
Spirit of Health's trained massage therapist, Cara Schwartz, thwarts clients' swelling anxieties and bolsters their overall well-being through a variety of kneading techniques. During the one-hour hot-stone massage, smooth, basalt rocks thaw taut tissues and prepare bodies for adventurous volcano-exploring expeditions or checking a car's underbelly while on a volcanic mountain. Cara arranges the flat, heated rocks around spinal cords to slacken tight muscles before tenderizing them with nimble digits. Alternatively, patrons can luxuriate under the human touch during a hot-oil massage, which opens pore doors while making skin as soft as a windswept schnoodle.
Today's side deal treats customers to Sass full standard eyelash extensions, durable lashes that bond to a client's natural eyelash line. The Sass treatment applies 45 lashes to each eye for a fuller appearance that adds smokiness and intrigue to any subtle glance. Cradle eyeballs in soft, luxurious lashes that stand up against showers, swimming, and the reciprocated eye batting of winsome pedestrians.
Choose between one of three relaxing massage techniques including the deep tissue, Swedish, or signature. The deep tissue is a pressurized, full-body technique that seeks the deepest knots and unties them with the proficiency of a Boy Scout with adult hands. Go with the Swedish if you prefer traditional, long strokes tied to a gentle muscular overhaul. The signature treatment includes a total body pampering with extra attention given to comforting the hands and feet using heated spa treatments.
Your appointment with the Headache Doctor includes a one-hour evaluation that incorporates a complete physical and spinal exam with a state-of-the-art diagnostic scanning test. The complete exam evaluates the entire body and the headache symptoms to understand the root of the problem through chiropractic methods. At the conclusion, a complete report of the findings will be issued, and a course of treatment will be discussed from there. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

Andy Reid: I'm overjoyed that I will be a dad (From St Helens Star)

Andy Reid: I'm overjoyed that I will be a dad
11:35am Friday 17th August 2012 in News
ANDY Reid has described his joy at learning he is due to become a dad in the autumn.
The former corporal – who lost both legs and his right arm in an Afghanistan bomb blast – this week spoke for the first time publicly of how he is looking forward to the latest amazing chapter in his life.
His wife Claire is due to give birth to a baby boy in three months' time.
The couple will stick to a Reid family tradition of naming their son William, which is Andy's Christian name.
Andy said: "We're made up. Holding my son for the first time is going to be amazing. I'll be so proud.
"On a scan we had it even looked as though he was giving us a salute."
This summer Andy left the 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment after 14 years of service and both he and Claire are looking forward to an exciting new chapter in their lives.
The couple from Windle, who married last year, thought long and hard about starting a family and Andy has admitted to having worries about some fatherly duties, such as nappy changing.
But the ex-soldier, who pulled through after suffering the horrendous injuries in the autumn of 2009, has shown repeatedly that he can overcome the odds and find solutions to his disability.
After hour upon hour of rehabilitation, he learned to walk again aided by prosthetic limbs.
Such determination and immense courage led to him being able to stand and march with comrades at a campaign medal ceremony, take part in the St Helens 10K run, perform a tandem skydive and walk down the aisle on his wedding day.
Claire, 31, and Andy, 36, believe they have been fortunate, because some blast victims are left unable to have children.
Claire said: "He will be a fantastic dad. He has got so much to give and we know we're really fortunate."

We make your good ideas become brilliant
and make sure your bad ideas never see the light of day.
Our work doesn't come from a box, and doesn't belong in one. Remarkable ideas live on a plane with individual technologies, channels and departments. A problem that at first might seem to require a new website might actually need a mobile app instead. A marketing problem could have a supply chain overhaul component. A customer with dwindling sales may need to reinvent a brand to find new markets.
See what we mean. Browse a few recent case studies or give us a call.
We helped Jacob's Pillow, one of the most significant dance festivals in the world, turn the stunning physicality of their live performances into an interactive, digital production that could captivate new fans and create a new donor base around the world.
Need we say more? Ok, we will.
We translated Woody Allen's memorable storytelling into a singular, digital experience that created new revenue streams and instant online recognition. More importantly, our project brought his iconic brand to a previously untapped audience of millennials.
We found an unexpected technical solution for ISI Brands' marketing quandary. They came to us to refresh the look and feel of a dozen corporate sites and build a platform for ecommerce that would take them into the future. We developed an original creative and back-end solution that reinvigorated their brands, stoked their marketing department, increased time-on-site, and drove online sales.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WYMT) - A new report shows one in four Kentucky children lives in poverty.
The annually-published Kids Count Data Book also finds that Kentucky ranks 35th in the country in the well-being of children.
"With the big game coming up this weekend, I don't think the fans of the University of Louisville or the University of Kentucky would be satisfied if their team was 35th in national rankings," Kentucky Youth Advocates executive director Terry Brooks told the Courier-Journal.
Wolfe County has the worst child poverty rate in the state at 57.9 percent. Elliot County was second at 50.6 percent, the paper reported.
But not all the numbers are bad for the state. The report shows a drop in births to mothers with no high school degree, from 22 percent in 2004-06 to 20.6 percent in 2007-09.
"We still have a long way to go in making sure our kids are proficient, especially in reading and math," Stu Silberman, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, told the paper. "We're making some progress, but we're not where we want to be yet. There's a tremendous amount of work to be done compared to where we want to be."

Tag Archives: Lake Tana
Ghion Hotel, Lake Tana and Bahir Dar
This was sold to me as a lake side retreat with lovely gardens and great food. That is not inaccurate but does not tell the whole story. Bahir Da is on the shores of Lake Tana – which is the size of a small sea really. The hotel is on the outskirts of the town with a main road roaring by and the usual collection of shoe shine boys, souvenir sellers etc outside the gate. If you gave this hotel one star you would be extremely generous. It is on the shores of the lake but is surrounded by a seven foot high corrugated iron fence so you can't see the lake. The gardens are lovely apart from the serious lack of weeding and the addition of empty beer cans, plastic bottles etc. The bird life is spectacular, exotic and tame. Which makes me feel a little less annoyed about forgetting my binoculars as they are so close I don't really need them. As we approach the outside restaurant area which is a huge thatched roof built round an enormous tree I can hear the conversation from a table of English people. The man is saying something along the lines of 'I think it is absolutely bloody outrageous. Imagine if back in England we raised the price whenever a black man tried to buy something'. This was referring to the fact that everything in Ethiopia has a local price and a foreigner price – which incidentally is to do with nationality not skin colour. Rebecca who is 100% Ethiopian sometimes failed to get the local price because if she didn't have papers to prove she was Ethiopian they suspected here of being a tourist – which I suppose she is! They did not suspect her of being white for obvious reasons. I wanted to go and tell the man what a twat he was and ask him if her had ever compared what international students pay in the UK compared with residents. Besides which this price difference usually amounts to foreigners paying £1:50 for something whilst locals pay 50p which I agree is a large percentage but we are talking about £1 here! If the locals were charged £1:50 they could not afford it. OK I will shut up.
Anyway we decide to stay at the hotel which charges £12:50 for a double room. Some rooms are better than others. Our first one is extremely damp and dirty and the bathroom is covered in mould and although there is hot water we cannot get it to come out of the shower head. The bathroom is thick with mosquitoes – big hungry ones and a huge spider in the sink which I re-home in the garden. There is a TV though and electricity – sockets hanging off walls, bare wires in the bathroom. So we get another room which is marginally better and at least the sheets don't feel damp. We replace the mosquito net which is full of holes with our own and get a reasonable nights sleep. The gaffer here is a bit of a character who run sthe operation from his mobile with a permanently attached bluetooth headset. He deals with any complaints swiftly and fiercely – I think the staff are terrified of him. So am I.
We stayed two nights at this hotel – which despite everything I would still recommend for the location and ambience. On the first morning we walked to the market. A huge muddy space with open drains criss-crossing it and dozens of dirty, cheeky children. Sacks and sacks of tef, chickpeas and other pulses and grains. Many of the sacks are stamped UN Aid – Not for Re-Sale. Though it may be just the sacks that are being re-used. The local birds – a collection of many bright yellow weaver birds and other exotic beast – seem to have permission to sit on the sacks and eat as much as they want and in return only leave the occasional poo. Other stalls sell coffee pots, cooking pans made from old tins, clothes, shawls, vegetables, spices and injeera baskets. Bizarrely lots of stalls seem to be selling Sainsbury and Tesco bags for life. As usual we attract lots of children who follow us round and a fair few adults too who want to sell us stuff or have their photos taken or just try out their English.
In the afternoon we hire a boat and pilot to take us over to a monastery on an island – with a brief diversion to see the hippos. There are three of them and they pop their heads up at regular intervals to eyeball us. We don't go too close. Surprisingly hippos are very aggressive towards humans and boats and will often attack without warning. They are also very fast on land and in the water. I have heard it said that hippos cause more deaths in Africa than any other wild animal (though I presume this does not include mosquitos). Anyway I manage to grab a few shots which blow up reasonably well.
The monastery is a very typical Ethiopian attraction – very interesting and ancient but in a woeful state of repair and with precious artefacts given no protection from the elements. Here there are centuries old illustrated manuscripts and priest's robes in open fronted cabinets in a tin shack. It is difficult to see anything in the monastery as there are no lights but at least that will help to stop the wall paintings from fading. We return to our boat, passing a huge number of locals on a papyrus boat which is practically underwater from the load. It starts to really lash it down on the way back and the water gets choppy. I am pleased Rebecca insisted on seeing the life jackets before we left – but they won't save us from the hippos…..
One other thing about this place – the monks in another nearby monastery chant for many hours a day – which I suppose is common practice among monks. But these ones amplify their efforts so you can hear them for miles around. I quite enjoyed it but when we visited the posh hotel next door I noticed that someone had written in the guest book that it was an outrageous imposition on his holiday and if they expected him to stay there again it would have to be stopped. Those who know me will know that I am a confirmed atheist and generally pretty intolerant of any religious mumbo-jumbo. But one of the few redeeming factors for me is the wonderful music, buildings and artworks produced in the name of religion. Ethiopia has these things in cups.
Debre Markos – perhaps

Teeming with activity and humanity and every type of vehicle imaginable – nearly all of them totally dilapidated. Once out of Addis we pick up speed and pretty much maintain it at all times. This seems to be the norm. It is scary but again not really aggressive driving. The concept of slowing down when you enter a village does not exist. Horn used constantly just to say we are coming but everything carries on with donkeys, goats, horses, bajajs (Ethiopian name for tuk-tuks) and people somehow managing to narrowly avoid collision. The roads are lined with tin shack shops selling fruit, pots and pans, welding shops making gates and fencing, kids gathered round table football sets and table tennis tables. Approaching and leaving towns and villages, hundreds of people walk by the side of the road or drive two wheel carts drawn by donkeys or horses. They carry huge amounts on their backs wrapped in khaki cloth. Outside Addis we see a constant stream of women of all ages carrying an unbelievable amount of firewood on their backs down from the forest to the city. Not sure what distance they carry this but we were still seeing them about 10 miles out of the city.
The road doesn't really change much and every town has the same incredible range of goods and humanity. Everywhere we go men and children wave and shout or smile. Even in the distance working in the fields, the people can spot a ferenje vehicle and shout and wave or ululate or crack their whips. Once well out of the city we are in medieval agricultural territory. With thousands of acres being ploughed by oxen with long wooden ploughs, the men walking behind constantly laying the whip across the hind quarters of the oxen. In the evening we see the men carrying the huge ploughs back home on their shoulders. Cattle here are not sacred but the way they wander into the road they possibly think they are.
Eventually the terrain changes as we enter the more mountainous areas and climb up to the ridge of the Blue Nile gorge. We stop at a vantage point to look at the view. There is no-one in sight but within about one minute of getting out of the vehicle people begin to appear running up the hillside clutching woven baskets and carved stone crosses. The pressure to buy becomes a little uncomfortable with these young adults and children trying every technique from cute to pleading to mildly aggressive 'You mister, you buy this now. 30 birr. You give me now' Accompanied by menacing stares! But as he is only about 12 and stick thin ………
Then we are winding down the gorge to the bridge over the Blue Nile. We are allowed to walk over the old bridge but not the new one which is guarded by soldiers with rifles. The Blue Nile is decidedly brown. As we climb up the other side of the gorge we pass a tree clattering with bird noise and when we look it is decorated with dozens of woven nests suspended from the branches and twice that number of bright yellow birds.
Soon we are driving in the dark which the guide books say is really not a good idea. I agree entirely. If driving during the day was scary this is terrifying and the lights on the truck are not too impressive either. People and animals loom out of the dark every few minutes and it is really hard to see the regular holes in the road.
After an hour or so we reach town and the hotel. The drivers tell us 'no more night driving'. The hotel has rooms but no electricity. Then they do and then they don't then they do again but it waxes and wanes. Anyway there are beds and it is secure and we eat there and the food is good. We sleep OK but are woken several times by the dogs howling in an amazing cacophony which doesn't last long and finishes so abruptly it is as if someone flicked a switch. Rebecca says it is because they hear the hyenas coming and they will pick out a dog to separate off and kill.
Morning comes and we have tea and French toast and get back on the road.
The road becomes even more crowded with agricultural vehicles and workers and we pass through many towns all buzzing with activity – country people, people in modern dress, priests with matching umbrellas.
Soon we head off the main road and stop to ask for a waterfall that Rebecca wants us to see. It is called Fang but no-one seems to have heard of it, even when we get really close they do no t know the name. Then we are off down a very rough mud track lined with mud houses, lots of kettles smoking outside and very thin horses and cattle. The people obviously do not see many ferenje go by their front doors. Almost everyone waves and shouts and the kids run after us for miles. This is a very muddy track and at times even our 4×4 vehicles struggle. The track ends in a newly planted field and we now have about 15 of the most determined kids with us. Many of them speak a little English and they are obviously going to guide us down to the waterfall – whether we like it or not.
The path is steep and slippery and the kids are at times a hindrance rather than a help – vying to grab at your every limb and place your foot in the safest place in their opinion or trying to stop you touching poisonous plants. To my horror my guide decides to call me granddad and congratulates me on every step for making it as if I am in my eighties. The climb down is short and definitely worth it. The waterfall is not high but the power of the water cascading over the ridge is awe inspiring with the spray reaching us hundreds of yard away. I take time to get out the gorilla pod and put an ND filter on the camera so I can blur the water – and later discover a huge blob in the middle of the filter ruining all my efforts. It is all a bit rushed – especially for a granddad. When we reach the top I tell my guide I will wait for my wife. He asks which one is my wife with a look of incredulity. When I point out Marianne he punches me good naturedly and congratulates me for getting myself a young wife.
Then things go a bit wrong. Fion is crying and says his money – only 10 birr or so –has been stolen by the village kids. Johnny gets upset and starts shouting at the kids. The drivers get wind of this and somehow think a mobile has been stolen and go running off into the village pursuing two young boys. The atmosphere turns dark. Rebecca arrives and gets very angry with Johnny for kicking off at the kids. Just when we think it can't get any worse the whole adult population starts to arrive and surround the vehicles. Rebecca looks worried that this could turn very unpleasant. There are maybe 200 hundred villagers and the drivers are missing and the vans are locked. But things seem to calm down and the drivers re-appear though they are still threatening some of the kids. We go back to the vans and give our guides some money and sweets but the frenzy starts again with many children shouting for money and stopping us getting into the vehicles. It is not menacing but hard to control. An older boy is trying to stop the children begging with not much success but eventually we are all on board and manage to set off again with dozens of villagers running alongside us and people waving from all the houses.
We learn just how easily wars start! And perhaps to be a bit more sensitive. Still don't know what really happened – maybe Fion dropped the money. Most villagers seemed horrified to think that someone would steal from their guests. Then again kids are kids the world over.
Back to the main road and off towards Bahir Dar – our next stop on the shore of Lake Tana. Travel is exactly as before – frenetic with lots of swerving and braking hard. Swimming through a throng of people and animals.
When we reach our chosen hotel the Guion on the lake I admit to being initially disappointed as I thought it was going to be an idyllic spot on the shores of a lake with gently lapping water and chalets opening on to the shore. But the town is actually on the lake and the hotel is on a busy road though in a compound. The hotel is extremely run down. To call it one star would be extremely generous. In Europe it would be condemned in an instant. Our room is very damp and the furniture is ancient and filthy and the bathroom wet and black with mold. The electrics are fragile and intermittent. But it is secure and safe and we are tired so we check in. It is also very cheap. Maybe £10 per night. The lake is hidden behind corrugated iron sheets but there are beautiful if dilapidated gardens andthe birds are spectacular and very tame, eating off the tables and sitting in trees all around us. We get settled in after we have had room changes because of non-working locks and dodgy electrics.
We eat on a veranda built round a huge tree. The food is good and again very cheap and the staff very friendly. There are many nationalities here -English, German, Catalan, Belgian. The lake is huge – like a sea really with no sign of the far shore. There is a monastery near buy with amplified chanting of the monks until midnight. The shore path is busy with an air of ne'er do well about it. But we eat good food and go to bed with lots of mosquitos trying to find a way into our net. Tired but feeling secure and healthy if a little damp.
Before dark we go for a short walk and visit the luxury hotel next door which is five star and currently houses the friend s of Rebecca we met in Addis. It is low season and we could stay there for a very reasonable rate but still ten times what we are paying at the Guion.
The next day is sunny and the gardens are beautiful and the birds are back in cups. Breakfast is fine then we head off for the market. Nothing like Mercato but still a shock to all the senses with open sewers criss-crossing it and again we are the subject of much attention from both stall holders and children. All friendly and many with a few words of English.
I am going to try and post this and add fotos later – whilst we have a connection

After growth at Chevron Corp. helped power the Pascagoula metropolitan
area to one of the nation's strongest economic performances in the
recession year of 2009, reversals in the refining sector appeared to
contribute to a contraction in the economy of Jackson and George
counties in 2010.
The Pascagoula metro area's economy shrank 2.8 percent at the same time metro areas nationwide grew 2.5 percent, according to Bureau of Economic Analysis numbers released Tuesday.
Regional economies
The Pascagoula metro area's economy was among the worst performers in the nation in 2010, after two years of rapid growth. Here are regional metro areas, with the size of their economies in 2010 and the inflation-adjusted change from 2009:
Pascagoula: $7.67 billion, -2.8 percentGulfport-Biloxi: $10.29 billion, 0.5 percent
Mobile: $15.84 billion, 2.7 percent
Jackson: $24.38 billion, 1.4 percentHattiesburg: $4.81 billion, 1.2 percent
New Orleans: $71.48 billion, 2.4 percent
Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis
That ranked Pascagoula 360th of 366 metro areas nationwide.
The tumble came after 24 percent growth in 2008 and 8 percent growth in 2009. That means the Pascagoula metro economy, despite the contraction, is still 30 percent larger than it was in 2007.
Of Mississippi's four metro areas, Pascagoula's was the only one to post negative numbers for the year, though economic performance was below average in the other three as well.
The economy grew in 304 metro areas and shrank in 62, almost the reverse of 2009, where the economy grew in only 71 urban areas during the worst year of the recession.
The figures are meant to sum up all of the economic activity in an urban area in the same way that gross domestic product does for the nation.
Metro areas as a whole contained $13.1 trillion, or 90 percent of the $14.5 trillion in gross domestic product in 2010. The New York metro area alone had a $1.3 trillion economy.
But in Mississippi, the four metro areas wholly contained within the state accounted for only 48 percent of its $97.5 billion economy in 2010. Mississippi is unusually rural, and that share also excludes the suburbs of Memphis, Tenn., south of the state line.
In Pascagoula, manufacturing, both the durable goods made by shipmakers and the nondurable goods made by Chevron, dragged the overall economy down by 3.65 percentage points. Nationwide, durable goods was the strongest sector.
The rest of Pascagoula's economy outside manufacturing grew at a relatively slow 0.85 percent.
Several other metro areas with heavy oil-refining presence flipped from strong growth in 2009 to contraction in 2010, including Casper, Wyo., and Mount Vernon-Anacortes, Wash. Vallejo-Fairfield, Calif., another refining town, shrank the most at 3.8 percent.
Elizabethtown, Ky., grew the most, at 14.4 percent, thanks to rising military spending there. The San Jose, Calif., area grew the second-fastest, thanks to blistering increases in manufacturing, information technology and professional services in Silicon Valley. Increases in big-ticket manufacturing, information technology and oil and gas exploration drove many of the other fastest-growing areas.

SUMOskinny magazine is the ultimate guide to college life. Part local, part national, and all college.
It is absolutely no secret that the seats on BART are a breeding ground for bacteria and other unpleasant things. This train network, while incredibly convenient for many of us Bay Area-dwellers, is widely known to be home to some lewd acts resulting in unpleasant stains, odors, and mental images. The ugly blue wool seats seem like sponges for unwanted fluids.
Which is why I am happy to report that the transit agency has announced that it will be replacing these dingy seats with vinyl, which is much easier to keep clean. BART will be putting these more hygienic new seats in 100 cars so riders can test them out and give feedback before all of the cars are decked out with the new style.
This will undoubtedly make frequent riders happier in their travels and possibly encourage infrequent users to hop on BART to get to their destination instead of using other means. I know I will cringe a bit less when I can sit on a cleaner seat and not have to wonder what debauchery has occurred there before me.

Boys aged three and 11 found dead
1:21pm Sunday 2nd September 2012 in News By Morwenna Blake
TWO boys aged three and 11 have been found dead in a flat in Tidworth.
Police and paramedics were called to Auchinleck House in Sidbury Heights at 1.20pm after the landlady of the property found the body of the 36-year-old man, believed to have been the children's father.
She told officers there were two children who had been staying there and paramedics discovered the youngsters' bodies in another room at the flat.
A police spokesman said the children lived with their mother in Andover.
Post mortem examinations are due to take place today and tomorrow and the Wiltshire Coroner has been informed.
Forensic examinations of the scene are ongoing and police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Supt Matt Pullen of Wilitshire Police said: "This tragic incident involving the deaths of a man and two young children at a flat in Tidworth has caused understandable shock in the local community.
"Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends of the deceased.
"Local police commanders are intimately involved in the inquiry and are directing the actions of the Tidworth Neighbourhood Policing Team to ensure that we provide appropriate presence and
reassurance at this difficult time.
"Community leaders have been contacted and briefed in order that they can provide additional reassurance to constituents.
"I would like to stress that no other persons are being sought at this stage in relation to this incident.
"We are grateful for the information and support provided by the public to the investigation and ask that anyone with information that may assist the inquiry contact Wiltshire Police on 101."
