This year's graduates are ready to go.
Actually, this year's graduates were ready to go about six months ago.
Their parents, I believe, are in varying stages of readiness, however. I'm not anywhere near this part of my parenting life, so what do I know, but I imagine it's very hard to reconcile the physical reality of your 18 year old leaving the nest with the emotional pull of the memories of the baby you once watched take his first steps or go off to her first day of kindergarten…those little people needed their parents so much and the painful truth is that they don't need their parents in the same ways at all anymore. One thing is very clear right now about this cohort of seniors, in particular. It's time. For everybody. And it will be great.
I wrote this a while ago for a different group, and I don't want to try to pass it off as words of wisdom for this crew in specific because they are so very much not the same. But a lot of it still applies. Hell, a lot of it applies to adults.
Some of the most wonderful teenagers I've ever taught are graduating from high school tonight. In fact, some of the most wonderful teenagers I've never taught are graduating from high school tonight. They had a rehearsal for the ceremony this morning, but they're still lurking around the building; as I write, they are playing games in a classroom, reluctant to leave to the building and all that the leaving represents, I reckon.
But they are ready. They've been ready for a few months. Subtle changes begin in the fall – fissures in friendships, shifting family relationships, and a sort of impatience with the status quo – but by now, there is no mistaking their need to get on with it, this business of living.
So,whirly girls, ready to head out on this great adventure, listen up for one more lecture. I know some stuff.
Get a job. Even a small one. Practice a hobby. Play a sport. Keep busy. If you spend time sitting around, you'll think too much, and thinking too much is a bad habit for young, smart women. Trust me on this one.
You don't have to know what you want to be when you grow up. Go to college and figure out who you are and what you love. The rest will work itself out.
Make friends with someone you never would have thought to make friends with in high school. You come from a small town. The world is big. There is so much you don't know.
Along those lines, sometimes the family you are born into isn't the family that supports and sustains you through the rest of your life. Sometimes you have to choose your own family.
I don't know what the female equivalent of "Bros before Hos" is, but it ain't that simple. Your friends are important, and you shouldn't chuck them for a love interest, especially if it's not The One. But ultimately, love is pretty damn important, not worth losing yourself, but worth some sacrifices.
You'll know when it's The One. You should try to go through some Not The Ones first, though, just to be sure.
Life is too short to spend time with anyone who doesn't make you feel good about yourself. And nobody but you can make you happy.
Read. Anything. But Read.
Girls who don't have other girls as friends are not to be trusted.
Don't ever take a job just for the money. You'll be miserable. And ultimately, spending 40+ hours a week doing something that makes you miserable is way worse than eating spaghetti four nights a week.
Stop feeling bad about your body. You will look back at pictures of yourself at this age and be furious that you wasted a single moment being critical about your own appearance.
Nine times out of ten, your mother is right.
The tenth? You're not allowed to say, "I told you so." But you will anyway.
Even if it's not fully developed, you have a picture in your head of what your life will be when you're grown up. It won't be like that. And that's OK. Because what it will be is better than fine.
When bad things happen, you have to grieve for whatever it is you lost. If you don't, it'll come back and get you in weird ways.
Dress your age.
Teach yourself how to be comfortable alone. Work up to being able to request a table for one in a restaurant. True fact: one of life's great pleasures is going to a movie on your own.
If you wouldn't want your mom to see it on the internet, don't let anyone take a picture of it.
Laugh a lot. Seek out the absurd.
The right decision is usually the hard choice.
And, like Abby Sunderland, there will be people cheering you on, proud of you, and ready to come and help the moment you ask.

Pregnant with Kanye West's child and due in July, Kim Kardashian shared her bulging bare midriff on her Instagram page Saturday morning, along with the message "baby love."
Two weeks ago, the style-aware expectant mom made her most shocking wardrobe choice yet, when she ditched her signature high heels in favor of flats, the better to balance herself in her current condition.

Is she pregnant, or only joking?
"Its official. Pregnant…" Lindsay Lohan wrote on Twitter overnight, although the timing of the announcement was certainly suspicious.
If it was an April Fools' joke, it was a late one, posted after midnight ET. Then again, lateness is a Lohan specialty – she was an hour tardy to her crucial court hearing last month, and also missed her flight back to the U.S. from Brazil on Monday.

Along with the rest of the Duggar family, they decided to find out the baby's sex, and filmed the announcement for their show, which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET).
"We didn't know the results," Josh, 25, tells PEOPLE. "But we gave them [from the doctor] to the sound guy, Jim, and he planned out this very unique reveal. It caught us off guard in a time and place we least expected."
Kim Kardashian Makes Most Shocking Wardrobe Choice Yet

Well, this is flat-out surprising!
Kim Kardashian, 32, stepped out Monday morning at LAX, looking several inches shorter. The pregnant E! reality star was sans part of her signature look – heels.
And the wardrobe decision – perhaps dictated, in part, by the fact that many pregnant women can experience trouble with their balance – surprised the TV personality herself.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are both ready for the sleepless nights that come along with a newborn baby – but differ on whether they want a daughter or a son.
While handing out symbolic shamrocks to members of the Irish Guards at the annual St. Patrick's Day ceremony in Aldershot, Kate revealed that while she'd like to have a boy, Prince William would prefer a girl.
As she met members of the regiment of which William, 30, is ceremonial colonel, she said she was ready to be a mom but is undecided on a name for the couple's baby.

They are already parents to daughter Mackynzie, 3, and son Michael, 21 months.

Heading to a photo shoot in L.A., Kardashian was snapped in peplum-waist-lined pants and a tight, black top. We suggested she make herself more comfy by taking the maternity wear route – a la the Duchess of Cambridge.
Some readers complimented the reality starlet on her beauty and suggested she'd still look just as good in clothes made specifically for pregnant women.

As memorable and fun as everything has been, it feels good to get back in the swing of things this week. I'm back home in jammies with Liv (she's napping away right now), we all slept in a little bit, and I'm planning for the week. When I asked for Kyle's wedding off from work a few months ago, I figured I'd be ready for a little break and took Wednesday and Thursday off too. Vacation, baby! I'm excited to spend some extra time with noodle, get the house put together again and study for my NASM test. I think I'm going to go ahead and register to take it, so I can start working on my Weight Loss Specialist exam.
As comforting as it it's been to get back into a routine, I always like to throw a little bit of change in there. For this week, I wanted to try something different from the usual amazeballs. I thought it would be fun to create a new flavor, and enjoy them in bar form, like a dessert-y fudge.
Welp, I finally found a use for that dang coconut flour.
It's been sitting in the pantry, taunting me, begging to be thrown in the trash can for ruining anything it touches, it finally found its place in the world with these awesome protein fudge squares.

Powerball Changes Bring Bigger Rewards
By: Morgan Moore
Updated: March 22, 2013
Last year, Powerball ticket prices increased to $2 a ticket.
And while it means more money up front, the jackpot can be even more tempting.
"One of the biggest goals and the change that was made in the Powerball a year ago is to drive more excitement to the game," said Al Larson, spokesman for the Hoosier Lottery.
Starting jackpots were also changed from $20,000 to $40,000, and incentives to play other lotto games have been going on all year.
"It gives people a chance to just try again they may have never played before we do a lot of that just to introduce games to people that don't play," said Larson.
And when the grand prize reaches epic proportions, more people get in on the action.
And those increased ticket sales drive the jackpot even higher.
"100 million, 200 million, now we're at 320 million people start to get more and more excited in the days leading up to a draw like we are right now, you'll see a pretty big spike," said Larson.
But it's not just those holding a winning ticket who benefit from lottery sales.
"Once our profit is left at the end of the year that flows back out to taxpayers statewide so anything that we can do to make a little bit more money for Indiana that's a good thing," said Larson.
Helping to put money back into the pockets of some who play the game - and all who call Indiana home.
"It's been a good thing it really has, the goal is to bring more excitement and as a result some more people into the game and just refresh it. It was a 20-year-old game and it looks like it accomplish its goal," said Larson.
The $320 million Powerball drawing is Saturday night.
And by the way, Indiana leads the nation in Powerball wins with 38.

President's Reelection Encourages Me
The President won reelection pretty easily from the perspective of the uninformed and those who only listen to the easily accessed media outlets. In truth, his campaign worked really hard for five years to bring about this win. He built a ground game starting in 2007 before the first election. Unlike most candidates who take a break after their first election as president, I'm told he kept his operation in place and kept organizing communities. Big surprise for a man whose primary job before his first election was one of community organizer for political groups in Chicago. He's obviously very good at his job and he turned out his constituency while conservatives, especially evangelical Christians, stayed home in huge numbers.
I disagree with a lot of what the President promotes.
- He sees government as the primary tool for helping those with great need financially and otherwise while I believe private groups utilizing their good will do a better job of this with government safety nets for those in extreme need
- He sees homosexuals as an oppressed minority group, whereas I see them differently since stats show they usually are better educated and have higher income than the average public
- He sees American military might as a necessary evil at best and one of our greatest weakness at worst while I see it as our greatest strength and a tool for immense good since we brought peace to the world during the Cold War keeping people free from communism and serve as the only defense against Muslim extremists who want Sharia law to rule the world subjugating women and anyone who's not an extremist Muslim
- He sees taxes as a good tool to bring fairness to the world since people with too much money don't deserve what they have since they needed help while I see taxes as a necessary evil that should only support the bare minimum of a strong defense, protecting interstate commerce and providing for those in point number one above.
I could go on.
He won reelection by out hustling the Republicans and stirring his base to go vote while appealing to moderates by promising not to raise income taxes for a year after his election. That's right! A year, since he said he wouldn't raise them on those below $250,000 next year. He didn't say he would never do it.
So, how can someone who so fundamentally disagrees with the President be encouraged?
The policies of the administration will prove to fail and when its obvious, people will seek help from somewhere. If conservatives can learn from the President's reelection campaign, then we can start working to both get our base out and vote during the 2014 election and start educating America that big government liberalism failed. Sadly, this will require some pain before it gets there. I don't like that. I hate to see anyone suffer, but if that's the only way for people to seek help, then so be it.
The President provided a model for getting elected even when your views don't match the majority of the country. Most people want smaller government despite what the liberals and even the moderate media keeps saying. The President didn't win because of the welfare state. He won because he outworked Republicans in getting out his vote. So, if we can learn how he did it and match it, we win. On an even playing field conservatism always trumps liberalism in America. If Mitt Romney was really a conservative and got out those 3 Million conservative Christians, he wins. He failed because he didn't work as hard and wasn't espousing his sincere beliefs – moderate to liberal social views and moderate to conservative fiscal policy. People didn't trust him because he didn't really believe what he was saying.
Third, I'm encouraged because some really conservative people are waiting in the wings to take on the liberal establishment in both parties next time around. The 2014 election will also bring more of them into office because the out-year election always provides gains for the out party. I predict the Senate will turn Republican and the Congress will see a larger control by Republicans and most of those will come from true believer conservatives.
For the next few weeks, don't let the liberal media convince you that moderation is the key to winning for Republicans. Why would anyone elect a Republican liberal when they can get a real liberal from the Democrats? We need candidates that are true believers and they will win. Why do I say that? Because it was the only way Republicans have succeeded in the past 32 years.
- Ronald Reagan – true believer and won by landslides in both elections due to his strength of character and skill as a communicator telling America why happy conservatism really works.
- George H. W. Bush – he wasn't a true believer, but he enjoyed the pixy dust from the Reagan years. On his own, after raising taxes, he failed to win reelection.
- Bob Dole was a moderate and lost
- George W. Bush wasn't as conservative as Ronald Reagan but was closer than any other candidate since Reagan and he won barely in 2000 and handily in 2004.
- John McCain sounded like a conservative but was more moderate than he sounded and only seemed conservative compared to the President
- Mitt Romney governed as a moderate in Massachusetts and we were all told that's only because of the Democrats in his state, but he still did it and failed to convince the real conservatives in his party that the real Romney was the guy running this year not the one who governed. That's because we're smart and look at your actions which drown out your words when they contradict.
Last, God is still on the throne even if Satan himself takes over the USA. And no, President Obama is not Satan!

All the while, Dr. Mary Malone builds a magnificent amber spyglass. An assassin hunts her down. And Lord Asriel, with troops of shining angels, fights his mighty rebellion, a battle of strange allies and shocking sacrifice.
As war rages and dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living, and the dead, finally comes to depend on two children and the simple truth of one simple story. The Amber Spyglass reveals that story, bringing Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials to an astonishing conclusion.
©2000 Philip Pullman; (P)2001 Random House, Inc.
"Absorbing...Like Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, [Pullman] invents a world filled with strange divinations and wordplays." (Newsweek)
"A literary masterpiece...[that] caps the most magnificent fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings and puts Harry Potter to shame...A page-turning story that builds to a powerful finish." (Oregonian)
"As the rich tale unfolds, Pullman's voice, elegant with a hint of both whisper and rasp, thoroughly enthralls, sounding by turns forceful and tender. The talented, extensive cast gives a dynamic, nearly flawless performance." (Publishers Weekly)
"Completes the set"
Really excellent narration of all three books by Pullman and this brilliant cast. You need to listen to the first two first but I can't think of any reason why you would not then go on and download this one. They should probably be reviewed altogether but as a set well worth the five stars.

The Slow Fix
Short Stories
Shortlisted for a Lambda Literary Award (lesbian fiction)
Ivan E. Coyote is one of Canada's most acclaimed storytellers; her first three collections were insightful, deeply personal stories about gender, identity, and community. Ivan's most recent book, Bow Grip (2006), was her first novel; it won the ReLit Award, was shortlisted for the Ferro-Grumley Fiction Prize in the US, and was named a Stonewall Honor Book by the American Library Association.
With The Slow Fix, Ivan returns to her short story roots in a collection that is disarming, warm, and funny while at the same time subverting our pre-conceived notions of gender roles. In "By Any Other Name," Ivan gets into some serious male bonding with her Uncle Rob; in "The Curse?" a cousin's stepdaughter helps her to overcome her lifelong dread of buying tampons; and in the title story, she does her best to fix what's wrong in the world by telling the homophobe in the barber's seat next to hers to shut up.
Ivan excels at finding the small yet significant truths in our everyday gestures and interactions. By doing so, she helps us to embrace not what makes us women or men, but human beings.
Now in its second printing!

Listen to me laugh as you prance about in frilly panties, with a huge butt plug, or tied and bound with a pink ball gag.I will trample you with my spiked stillettos and crush you under my beautifully pedicured feet.Your pain and humiliation is MY PLEASURE

Mehreen Kasana on South Asian Issues and Social Media
[This post is part of an ongoing Profile of a Contemporary Conduit series on Jadaliyya that seeks to highlight distinct voices primarily in and from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.]
Jadaliyya (J): What do you think are the most gratifying aspects of Tweeting and Twitter?
Mehreen Kasana (MK): I think the idea of sharing opinions and interaction (with the sane lot) is always productive and achievable on Twitter. That and the constant influx of information, ideas, and updates on all sorts of issues are things that I appreciate.
J: What are some of the political/social/cultural limits you've encountered using the platform?
MK: Trying to explain cultural or religious issues within context to an outsider in 140 characters or less can initially be a little daunting and a little frustrating. But once I got the hang of brevity in Tweets, it became convenient to interact with certain people. But even then, there are moments when things are taken out of context, hyperbole happens, and the issue is derailed. In addition to that, I think social media platforms offer a lot of space for dialogue and even change, but then the constriction of that is that Tweets can only do so much. In this case, you need to go offline and mobilize your plans and efforts for whatever change you aspire to have.
J: In your experience and use of Twitter, do you feel it helps mobilize or disorganize? Focus or crowd? Is it manageable or noisy? Can it help persuade and mobilize or does it turn everyone into a voyeur and spectator?
MK: It's really tough to say. I would say: yes and no. Twitter mobilizes and disorganizes depending on the attention a certain topic gets. I did an online campaign on challenging the political narrative about Pakistanis which is inherently biased and racist, and it garnered a lot of attention; it eventually ended up on Huffington Post and Global Voices. In that case, Twitter mobilized my effort. But then there was the case of several Pakistani Twitter users attempting to initiate a group of gender rights speakers, workers, etc., but it went on a tangent (by overly critical cynics) so badly, that it was just a sorry spectacle. I have seen an ample number of instances of successful campaigns and complete failures. It depends a lot on how focused you remain to keep that issue on point and relevant.
[Image of Mehreen Kasana.]
J: What initially made you decide to start using Twitter as a platform? Where you a Journalist, writer, scholar, student, before you opened your account?
MK: I was a student when I started Twitter back in 2010, if I remember correctly. I was teaching in between. I started Twitter for networking mainly. I had no idea more than 12K people would join me over time.
J: How do you manage criticism, personal attacks, and hostility online and offline?
MK: Thick skin. The more followers you get, the more likely it gets for you to be attacked, often with ad hominem rage. I've been threatened by plenty. I've been under unnecessary 'trolling' and it keeps happening. But I've learned one thing: You cannot let petty rage bring you down. Hostility online is a lot different than hostility offline, in my opinion. I can handle constructive criticism and I appreciate it sincerely, but then you'll always e-bump into people who just don't like you for the sake of not liking you. That is the type that doesn't deserve acknowledgment, which is why social networks invented the Block option. I use it generously. But hostility offline is tougher to handle. I believe in either confronting or ignoring - depending on how significant the person is. I can't let incendiary folks pull me down; I don't have the time for that.
J: What sort of tweets did you find to draw the most response and circulation?
MK: Political ones in addition to humor, in my experience. The South Asian culture jokes are responded to and circulated often. Some very important regional topics are shared and discussed at length, e.g. Balochistan, Kashmir, Pakistan-Afghanistan issues, visa policies between India and Pakistan, the ISI and the Pakistani Army, Karachi, agricultural issues in Punjab, etc. I also love how easily hashtags pool traffic in. The #MuslimRage tag was brilliant; that's one example of how a political issue presented by a magazine in a highly narrowed fashion was brilliantly dismantled by the people said magazine tried depicting in a certain light. But sometimes some very important issues go ignored - intentionally or not, I can't say. US war resister Kimberley Rivera's deportation is one of those issues that haven't been commented on enough. Or the issue of the recent death of a Gitmo detainee who was sold by the then-Pakistani government to the USA is another topic that hasn't been under discussion at decent length. Those are the things that remain shrouded in uncertainty and remain unacknowledged.

School-Justice Partnership: Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court
NYC Task Force | National Summit
The Commission is leading two projects to promote school-justice partnerships – an emerging strategy to reduce the number of children entering the justice system by improving educational engagement and outcomes through innovative practices. The first project is the facilitation of a two-year New York City School-Justice Partnership Task Force. The second project is organizing and convening the first National Leadership Summit on School-Justice Partnerships – held in New York City on March 11-13, 2012.
New York City School-Justice Partnership Task Force: Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court
Report and Recommendations
The New York City School-Justice Partnership Task Force is a momentous next step following the 2009 New York City School-Justice Partnership: Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court Symposium, chaired by former Chief Judge of the State of New York and Chair of the Commission, Judith S. Kaye and co-sponsored by the Commission, Skadden Arps and Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) . This effort was designed to promote emerging strategies to reduce the number of children entering the New York City justice system by improving educational engagement and outcomes through innovative practices and coordination of efforts.
Recognizing the negative impact of exclusionary school discipline policies and practices on all constituencies – but most importantly on the life outcomes for children, the Commission, with funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies and working with AFC, convened a multi-disciplinary Task Force in June 2011, which includes government officials, outside experts and key stakeholders to study the issue and make recommendations for systemic, attainable reform based on strategies that have been used in New York City, elsewhere in the state and across the nation regarding alternative approaches that hold students accountable for their behavior while keeping them engaged in school. In order to establish recommendations, Task Force members and their representatives participate in three work groups that obtain and review relevant data and information to increase their understanding of issues, policies and practices and report back to the Task Force. These recommendations will consider policies and practices that promote safe, respectful and supportive learning environments; reserve the use of punitive measures – including school suspension and mandatory arrest – for the most egregious cases; and address the over-representation of students receiving special education services and children of color who are exposed to exclusionary school discipline practices that can lead to court involvement.
The Task Force's Report and Recommendations were released on May 30, 2013.
National Leadership Summit on School-Justice Partnerships
Supported By | Partners | Collection of Reports | School-JusticeSummit.org | State Teams | Summit Highlights | Next Steps
The National Leadership Summit on School-Justice Partnerships – held on March 11-13, 2012, in New York City – was a catalyst in promoting the development of partnerships among the court system, school administration, law enforcement and the community to work together to increase graduation rates while decreasing school suspensions, expulsions and arrests.
Supported By
With funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies ; the California Endowment; MacArthur Foundation; Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, U. S. Department of Justice; Open Society Foundations; and Skadden, Arps, Judith S. Kaye, former Chief Judge of the State of New York and Chair of the Commission, convened this national summit for top state justice and education officials and their partners to raise awareness of the importance of focusing on school-justice partnerships in order to promote practices and policies of our education and justice systems that can help children succeed in school and in turn reduce the number of children involved in the juvenile and adult court systems.
The Commission reached out to federal agencies, philanthropies, national organizations and experts in the field to convene a multidisciplinary Partners Planning Committee – including representatives from the American Association of School Administrators; American Bar Association's Commission on Youth at Risk; Casey Family Programs; Conference of Chief Justices; Conference of State Court Administrators; National Alliance of Pupil Services Organizations; Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University; National Alliance of Pupil Services Organizations; National Association of State Boards of Education; National Center for Juvenile Justice; National Center for State Courts; National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges; and Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, U.S. Department of Education – to help develop the Summit's agenda. As each of the Partners has a vested interest in promoting practices and policies of our education and justice systems that can reduce the involvement of children in the justice system and help children succeed in school, their collective participation provided a synergistic opportunity to raise awareness of the private and public efforts that are currently underway and develop partnerships to promote shared goals.
Collection of Reports
To help inform the work of the Summit, the Commission conducted a nationwide Call for Papers that targeted interdisciplinary experts engaged in promoting practices and policies of our education and justice systems that can reduce the involvement of children in the justice system and help children succeed in school including: academics, advocates, counselors, criminal justice experts, educators, legal experts, legislators, judicial leaders, juvenile justice experts, policymakers, program managers, public health specialists, researchers, school leaders and social workers. The resulting publication – Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court: A Collection of Reports to Inform the National Leadership Summit on School Justice Partnerships – was released at the Summit.
The Collection of Reports and all materials presented at the Summit are available on the public website that was developed to disseminate the information that was provided at the Summit in order to equip educators, advocates and judicial leaders with information that is needed to develop concrete reform strategies at www.School-JusticeSummit.org. The website became live at the onset of the Summit.
State Teams
Following the collaborative approach of ground-breaking judicial leadership summits , the top judicial and education leaders from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were invited to attend and assemble a team for the Summit. This resulted in judicial, education and other stakeholder representation from 45 states, DC, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands at the Summit. This included 15 chief justices and 8 associate justices of the state's highest court, 6 top and 8 assistants to the state's top education officials, and 12 Native American leaders. The willingness of these leaders to dedicate this time underscores the growing prominence of this issue across the country.
Summit Highlights
This unprecedented Summit marked a critical step forward in bringing meaningful change to the issues of school discipline and involvement in the juvenile and criminal justice systems.
The Summit showcased a growing body of research and evidence-based alternatives that indicate suspensions and expulsions are not effective in improving student behavior and are significantly associated with drop out and involvement in the juvenile and criminal justice systems.
The Summit highlighted cutting edge research, information and concrete strategies for improving disciplinary policy and practice and reducing referrals of minor misbehavior to juvenile and criminal courts.
The Summit agenda was packed with the leading national researchers and speakers on the school-justice connection, including presentations on discipline and racial justice, the impact of trauma on student behavior, and the use of emerging practices such as Positive Behavior Intervention Systems and restorative justice to address student misbehavior within the school community. Speakers included many of the contributing authors, such as Daniel J. Losen, J.D., M. Ed., Director, Center for Civil Rights Remedies, The Civil Rights Project/ Proyecto Derechos Civiles at UCLA; Jeffrey Sprague, Ph.D., University of Oregon Institute on Violence and Destructive Behavior; Hon. Steven C. Teske, Juvenile Court of Clayton County, GA; Russell Skiba, Ph.D., Director of the Equity Project at the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University; as well as Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund; Melodee Hanes, Acting Administrator, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, United States Department of Justice; Russlynn H. Ali, Assistant Secretary, Office for Civil Rights, United States Department of Education; and pre-recorded remarks from Eric H. Holder, Jr., United States Attorney General and Arne Duncan, United States Secretary of Education.
The national convening coincided with mounting national interest in promoting policies and practices that keep kids in school and out of court. The issue moved to the forefront of debate with the announcement last summer by Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan of the federal Supportive School Discipline Initiative. Additionally, the release of stunning data on widespread suspensions and expulsions in Texas and their negative effects on school children has solidified the urgent need to address the problem.
The Summit gave states and local communities – such as Connecticut; Los Angeles, California; and Baltimore, Maryland – a platform to share their lessons learned as they had begun taking steps to restrict the use of suspensions and expulsions to only the most serious offenses, such as weapon possession, in advance of policy guidance from the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education that is expected to caution school districts against the overuse of suspension, expulsion and arrest.
The Summit gave participants an opportunity to develop relationships and communication channels for future information sharing within their states and with other states. These relationships are critical to the creation of effective cross-systems service delivery for children that prevents involvement in the justice system in the first place, but also gives those who do enter the system clear off-ramps as well as opportunities to thrive.
Next Steps
The Commission, working with the states, is compiling the state-specific notes and plans that were captured during the state team discussions. Once the states have reviewed their reports, the plans will be shared with other state teams and on the public website if authorized.
The Commission will continue to work with the Summit's Planning Partners to determine and implement next steps and maximize the use of the website.
The Commission is also working with the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University to determine the feasibility of and, if feasible, make plans for a New York State Summit during the spring of 2013.

Antibody Specifications:
- Validated in Western Blot
- Isotype:
Invitrogen's oligoclonal antibodies are a pool of monoclonal rabbit IgG antibodies targeted against a specific antigen. Oligoclonal antibodies are produced by transfection of mammalian cells with heavy and light chain antibody cDNAs. This provides you with the highest consistency between lots, eliminating the need to revalidate your assays for each lot.
Oligoclonal Antibody Advantages Include:
- Superior lot-to-lot consistency
- Extremely high specificity and sensitivity
- Validation by Invitrogen
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) is a growth factor belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily. BMP2 plays an important role in formation of bones and cartilage (1).
Obtain More Reliable Data
The proprietary recombinant technology employed in the production of Invitrogen's oligoclonal antibodies means you are assured of the greatest degree of reliability. Staining of nonspecific proteins is virtually eliminated while very high sensitivity is achieved
Detect Low Levels of Target Protein
Invitrogen's oligoclonal antibodies demonstrate much higher sensitivity than ordinary antibodies. Proteins expressed in low levels can be detected with high specificity allowing you to use less of your precious samples than with ordinary antibodies.
Recombinant Rabbit IgG--Use Like Any Other IgG Antibody
As with traditional IgG antibodies, gel electrophoresis of rabbit oligoclonal antibodies produces a 150kDa band under non-reducing conditions and 50kDa and 25kDa bands under reducing conditions.
For research use only. Not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use.

I wanted to write to you and express my deep appreciation and thanks to you and PromotionalGifts for the very professional, timely and superlative support that you gave me in obtaining the conference materials I urgently required.
As a rather critical and impatient person I have to say I could not find a single fault in the service you gave me - and I rarely say that to anyone. The way you immediately responded to my emails (at all hours of day and night) and gave me some very sound advice on the best choices to meet my needs was invaluable.
All my requirements arrived at the venue on time and I was very pleased with the quality and style of each of the products. Overall an excellent job all round and I will undoubtedly be coming back to PromotionalGifts when we need a re-supply

I found your website through searching online and you have been very competitive with your pricing which now I don't bother getting quotes from other companies as I know you will always give me the best price for the product I am looking for.
We have used your products for a few events now and people always comment on how high quality the products are. As I am now a repeat customer, I have a great business relationship with Kirsty, she is always prompt to help me out even when I may have some tight timelines to keep to. I have found her customer service to be dependable, friendly and attention to detail is brilliant! Using PromotionalGifts makes my life easier as I know I can rely on them.
Our order arrived yesterday. I do not tend to send comments like this but I have to say that I am absolutely delighted with the trolley coin keyrings.
The service and communications were excellent, delivery was early and the quality of the items is very high... I cannot believe that the enamel can be so accurately applied into the smallest places. Thank you, this is exactly what we needed.

When people are living with domestic violence, it affects the whole of their lives, including their work. Domestic violence can have an impact on employees' performance, productivity, health and safety at work, and their attendance record.
Find out how your company can help support Women's Aid
How many employees are affected by domestic violence? Total cost of domestic violence By taking action to effectively address domestic violence in the workplace, employers will not only increase employee productivity and morale, and reduce employee turnover, but will also reduce the risk of violence in the workplace and save lives. View the Domestic Violence Bibliography (pdf) for full references.
In the UK, in any one year, more than 20% of employed women take time off work because of domestic violence, and 2% lose their jobs as a direct result of the abuse. (Walby and Allen, 2004) These figures are likely to understate the true impact of domestic violence on a woman's career: research in the USA has suggested that up to 50% of women have at some stage in their lives had to give up a job because of domestic abuse.
How does it affect employees?
It may affect their productivity, emotional and physical health and well being, and they may also face increased risk of workplace violence. If there are perpetrators of domestic violence in the workplace, this may also affect the business costs and productivity and workplace safety. It is therefore crucial that domestic violence is seen as serious, recognisable, and preventable, and an important issue for business that cannot be ignored.
How does it affect colleagues?
Colleagues may have to cover for other workers while they are off. They may be unaware of the abuse, or not know how to help; or they may have to try to fend off the abuser if he makes unwanted phone-calls or visits; and they may fear for their own safety.
How can it happen at work?
People experiencing domestic violence may receive harassing or repeated phone calls, faxes or e-mails, unwelcome notes left on their cars or unplanned or unannounced visits at work. People may also be stalked, physically assaulted or murdered while at, or travelling to and from, work.
Children using workplace childcare or crèche facilities may also be in danger of abuse or abduction whilst on the premises. Colleagues may also be followed to or from work, or subject to questioning about the woman's contact details or location.
Effect on employers
Domestic violence affects employers by impacting on the productivity and financial strength and success of the organisation. Organisations also have a legal liability for health and safety. The perpetrator – who may already know his partner's work times, phone numbers, colleagues, and security entry systems – poses an increased risk of workplace violence.
A DTI research report (Walby S., The Cost of Domestic Violence, Women and Equality Unit, September 2004) shows that the total cost of domestic violence for the state, employers and victims is around £23 billion. Lost economic output accounts for around £2.7 billion a year. This is the cost of time off work due to injuries. It is estimated that around half of the costs of such sickness absences is borne by the employer and half by the individual in lost wages.

Having some favorite TV shows to look forward to every week is comforting, like when your mom used to make hot dog octopi for dinner. It becomes such a part of your routine that a season or series finale can really bring you down. It's nothing earth shattering — we're not dealing with missiles here — but it is kind of a bummer.
Some recent season/series finales that have made me and others on the Online Content team all frowny-face include Burn Notice, Psych, and of course Battlestar Galactica.
So how do you fill the void? You could learn a new trade, get out there and meet new people, take classes to expand your mind, or volunteer at a local charity. Or you could be like me — avoid any sort of engaging, socially responsible activities, and just find a new TV series to rent on DVD.
Here are some series that are perfect for putting the Seven Stages of Finale Grief behind you (please note that I habitually deal in superlatives, but these really are some of the best shows out there):
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
This is the funniest show on TV right now. Ironically, it's also the one that I miss the most after the finale each year. Sort of like Seinfeld, but the characters have less redeeming qualities.
The Wire
Best show ever!
Mad Men
Just started this, but it's a good one. Follow the exploits of 60s ad guys as they booze, womanize, and create the modern ad industry. Since my background is in advertising, I especially like it.
Arrested Development
This is the funniest show ever to grace the small screen. For serious.
Quirky USA show about a fake psychic detective agency. Featuring Dulé Hill from The West Wing!
The West Wing
Speaking of The West Wing, it's fantastic.
Burn Notice
Another USA show that I really like. Kind of like an updated A Team, only with Bruce Campbell as Face.
30 Rock
Super smart funniness from Tina Fey.

No explanation necessary.
Hope that helps soothe your television-troubled souls.

For the Jefferson Hotel in Washington, D.C., UltraGlas created this all-glass, illuminated bar of ¾-inch-thick low-iron glass with a translucent frit-based coloration and UltraGlas "Linen" kiln-formed texture. The glass frit-based, fired-on colors were heat processed to fuse to the No. 2 surface of a lite of low-iron Diamant glass by Saint Gobain. |
The top most reason customers keeps coming back a bar is primarily because of the service. As a freelance writer, I have made few points about keeping customers on board in your business. With excellent customer service comes great satisfaction.

When going to work, a party, shopping, or even running errands, women love to complete their looks with high heeled shoes. Some even feel it necessary to wear them. The height of the heel is ignored when it comes to style, so women usually end up wearing 5 to 6 inch heels, without any practice. Many find it difficult and painful to walk in such high heels gracefully. Follow the steps below to learn how to look poised and elegant in high heels.

Enabling people living with autism in Scotland through the whole life journey
"The autism spectrum is complex and multifaceted."
Parents, individuals with autism and involved professionals need to be equipped with a generic understanding of the autism spectrum. They will also need to continue to integrate new information with personal and professional experience in order to be proactive in their care and support of individuals with autism throughout their life journey.
The autism spectrum is the collective term for a range of conditions that impact on an individual's social communication, social interaction and social imagination and flexible thinking. Individuals on the spectrum are also likely to have sensory and information processing difficulties that can range from subtle to complex.
The autism spectrum encompasses individuals across the cognitive ability range. In other words, a person may be on the autism spectrum and have a learning disability or may be of average to sometimes, high intelligence.
It can be a challenge for parents and professionals to understand, recognise and respond to the needs of individuals who have an autism spectrum diagnosis. Individuals on the spectrum can also find it challenging to understand the implications of such a diagnosis.
As the term suggests, a "spectrum" signals a very wide range of potential impact and implications. In answering the question "what is autism?" it is important to keep in mind that the definitive answer will very much depend on the individual and how and to what extent autism is impacting on their development and learning. As autism is a lifelong condition that impact will be evident, but likely to change throughout the person's lifetime.
Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger are the pioneering clinicians who in the early 1940s first began to formally identify children and young people who would today be understood to be on the autism spectrum.
Although both were Austrian, Kanner lived and worked in the USA. Remarkably, within a year of one another, Kanner in 1943 and Asperger in 1944, they both published papers based on their clinical work. Both used the term "autism" to define the presentation of the children who had come to their attention. Asperger's work remained largely unknown in the UK until a translation of his paper was published in 1991 (Frith, 1991).
Asperger, H. (1944/1991). Autistic psychopathy in childhood. Translated in U. Frith (Ed), Autism and Asperger Syndrome (pp37-92). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
Kanner, L. (1943). Autistic disturbances of affective contact. Nervous Child, 2, 217 – 250.
Individuals on the autism spectrum can and often do have other conditions. This can include but is not restricted to epilepsy, metabolic disorders such as Phenylketonuria, sensory impairments and genetic conditions such as Fragile X syndrome and Downs syndrome (Boucher, 2009).
Conditions associated with the autism spectrum are not mental illnesses. It is however recognised that there can be a vulnerability to mental health and well being.

Delaying Parenthood
Getty Images
It's a demographic change that is easy to spot at preschool pick-ups or at playgrounds: More people are having kids when they're older. Nationally about 14 percent of babies are born to women over the age of 35. Those babies tend to grow up in wealthier and more educated households. But medical risks are higher for babies of older parents, and kids may have to deal with a parent's death at a younger age. We discuss the societal benefits and drawbacks of older parenthood.

Rockefeller University Press
It is now exactly a century since Georges Seurat died of a brief but virulent illness only a few months after his thirty-first birthday. And so, following what has now become a kind of ritual among cultural institutions, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is marking the hundredth anniversary of the artist's death with a tribute to his life and work.
This impressive and moving exhibition gives an extensive overview of Seurat's career, from the sensitively rendered drawings of plaster casts he did as a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts to the large painting of a curiously stiff but antic circus scene that he finished shortly before he died. Although there are some important gaps, this is nonetheless the largest ensemble of Seurat's works that has been seen in over thirty years, and it reinforces his position as one of the most important, as well as one of the most puzzling, of modern artists.
As the first galleries of the exhibition make abundantly clear, Seurat was already an accomplished painter and a very original draughtsman by the time he was in his early twenties. He made his public debut as a painter in the spring of 1884, when he joined forces with a group of artists whose work had been rejected by the official salon. Together they organized the first Salon des Artistes Indépendants, a jury-free exhibition that was to become the Parisian avant-garde's main annual event for the next two decades, and to which Seurat remained loyal throughout his life. His large circus scene was hanging at the 1891 exhibition of the Indépendants the day he died.
To the first independent salon the twenty-four-year-old artist sent a single large painting, entitled A Bathing Place, Asnières, which represented working-class men and boys lounging along a river bank in an industrial suburb of Paris. The picture combined an odd mixture of impressionist brush stroke, color, and light with a linear precision and geometry that recalled early Renaissance frescoes. It also clearly alluded—not without irony—to Puvis de Chavannes's Pleasant Land, a mural-like allegorical painting that had been shown at the 1882 Salon. Because of the unusual subject and rendering of Seurat's painting and its unwieldy size, it was hung in the bar rather than in the regular galleries, and it attracted relatively little attention.
The press notices that it did get were not very encouraging. One critic listed it among the three most grotesque works shown and, recognizing its roots in Ecole des Beaux-Arts classicism, characterized it as "a fake Puvis de Chavannes."
Two years later, however, when Seurat exhibited his equally large and even more ambitious A Sunday on la Grande Jatte at the eighth—and last—Impressionist group exhibition, his painting was …
