The Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Infants and Toddlers (DECA-I/T) is a premier tool for assessing protective factors and screening for potential risks in the social and emotional development of very young children. It includes 50 record forms (20 Infant and 30 Toddler), Strategies Guide, User Guide, Set of 5 reproducible Parent Teacher Masters, 20 Parent Strategy Guides (For Now & Forever), 3 Adult Resilience Journals (Building Your Bounce) and Forms CD. This assessment is standardized, norm-referenced, reliable and valid, making it appropriate for child and program outcomes.
The Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Infants and Toddlers (DECA-I/T) is a standardized, norm-referenced, strength based assessment that assesses protective factors and screens for social and emotional risks in very young children. Just like the preschool version, the DECA-I/T is completed by parents and caregivers of infants and toddlers.
DECA Infant (4 weeks up to 18 months)
The DECA Infant assessment (DECA-I) has 33 items that reflect positive behaviors (strengths) typically seen in resilient infants. These positive behaviors comprise two protective factor scales:
- Initiative (18 items) assesses the infant's ability to use independent thought and actions to meet her or his needs. Sample items include "try new things," "imitate actions of others," "show interest in what others are doing," "express her/his dislikes," and "look to a familiar adult when exploring her/his surroundings."
- Attachment/Relationships (15 items) assess the mutual, strong, long lasting relationship between the infant and significant adults such as family members and teachers. Sample items include "enjoy interacting with others," "show affection for a familiar adult," "seek comfort from familiar adults," and "smile at a familiar adult."
- A Total Protective Factors scale, which is a composite of the above two scales, provides an overall indication of the strength of the infant's protective factors.
The DECA-I has 4 scoring profiles for the following age ranges to increase sensitivity to the differences in development at this age span:
- 1 month up to 3 months
- 3 months up to 6 months
- 6 months up to 9 months
- 9 months up to 18 months
DECA Toddler (18 months to 36 months)
The DECA Toddler assessment (DECA-T) has 36 items that reflect positive behaviors (strengths) typically seen in resilient toddlers. These positive behaviors comprise three protective factor scales:
- Initiative (11 items) assesses the toddler's ability to use independent thought and actions to meet her or his needs. Sample items include "show concern for other children," "try to comfort others," "play make-believe," and "try to clean up after herself/himself."
- Attachment/Relationships (18 items) assesses the mutual, strong, long lasting relationship between the toddler and significant adults such as family members and teachers. Sample items include "make needs known to a familiar adult," "accept comfort from a familiar adult," "act happy when praised," and "make others aware of her/his needs."
- Self-Regulation (7 items) assesses the toddler's ability to gain control of and manage emotions, and sustain focus and attention. Sample items include "handle frustration well," "accept another choice when the fist choice was not available," "adjust to changes in routine," and "easily follow a daily routine."
- A Total Protective Factors scale, which is a composite of the above three scales, provides an overall indication of the strength of the toddler's protective factors.
Validity and reliability data are presented in the DECA I/T Technical Manual.
"Resilient children," refers to their capacity to achieve positive outcomes despite stress and adversity. Learn more about the "Resilient children" theory.

DECA for Infants & Toddlers - Training Options
DECA I/T Implementation Training (Best Practice): The Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA-I/T) Program for Infants and Toddlers is a strength-based system designed to promote the protective factors central to social and emotional health and resilience in our youngest children. The DECA-I/T Program utilizes a five step approach to help families and early care and education professionals recognize and support the social and emotional well-being of all infants and toddlers, the home and early care and education environment, and themselves! In this interactive, hands-on training, participants will learn how to implement the DECA-I/T Program within the 5-step system including 1) Collecting information on individual children, the home, and the group care environment, 2) Administering the assessment, 3) Scoring the assessment and summarizing results, 4) Developing and implementing plans for the environment (home and group care), the child, and the adult caregiver, and 5) Evaluating progress.
DECA I/T Overview Training: In this 1-Day training, participants will be introduced to resilience theory and its link to the social and emotional health of Infants and Toddlers. Participants will learn about the five step system and how this system helps to assess and plan for the children both in the program and home environments. Family involvement in the context of the DECA I/T implementation will be discussed. In addition, the training will emphasize the importance of adult resilience and its relationship to providing quality care to very young children.
DECA I/T Local Program Mentor Training: The 2-Day Local Program Mentor Training will help prepare DECA-I/T Program Implementation Training participants to return to their local programs and offer technical assistance and workshops as necessary on the DECA-I/T Program. Time will be spent on reviewing DECA-I/T Program key messages, discussing training and mentoring tips and techniques, and troubleshooting with program staff and participants currently using the DECA-I/T Program or who are planning to use the Program. This training is highly interactive, with the expectation that participants will present a training workshop or mentoring plan to the group. Participants will be expected to use evening time on Thursday for planning. **In order to attend this training, participants need to have attended both days of the DECA for Infants and Toddlers Training conducted by a DECA Program Certified Trainer.

The draft has become one of the biggest events of the year for NFL fans. Maybe because everybody's a winner on draft day, or maybe because hope springs eternal and all that. Whatever the reason, we're fully trying to horn in on the action. The final round of the FanHouse mock draft follows. And we'd like to stress "mock."
- 1. Lions: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
This is about the worst thing the Lions could do. Why am I not surprised that I still think they'll do it?. (Previously: Matthew Stafford)
-- Bruce Ciskie - 2. Rams: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
Orlando Pace is out and Alex Barron is just a stopgap at left tackle. (Previously: Jason Smith)
-- Matt Snyder - 3. Chiefs: Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
Football Outsiders' Doug Farrar thinks Curry is the best linebacker he's seen since Derrick Brooks was in his prime. (Previously: Aaron Curry)
-- Shane Bacon - 4. Seahawks: Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Back-to-back mentions for Farrar, serious draftnik and hardcore Seahawks fan. He recently told FanHouse that he loves Sanchez because of his meticulous footwork, great mechanics, and football smarts. Even if the former USC star started 16 college games. (Previously: Eugene Monroe)
-- Will Brinson - 5. Browns: Brian Orakpo, DE/LB, Texas
Kamerion Wimbley desperately needs the help. (Previously: Brian Orakpo)
-- SB - 6. Bengals: Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
I know I'm supposed to pick a defensive player, but I can do that later. Game-breaking wide receivers don't come along all that often, and I have to find someone who can catch Carson Palmer's passes and not name himself after his jersey number. (Previously: Michael Crabtree)
-- BC - 7. Raiders: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Al Davis. Fast wide receiver. Take it to the bank, it's a given. (Previously: Jeremy Maclin)
-- Adam Gretz - 8. Jaguars: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
Somehow Monroe is still on the board and the Jags are happy to find him there. He immediately upgrades an o-line decimated by injuries and ineffectiveness (mostly injuries) last season. (Previously: Mark Sanchez)
-- WB - 9. Packers: B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
Instead of whining about who's not there, the Packers decide to select someone who is. (Previously: Everette Brown)
-- BC - 10. 49ers: Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
Marvel Smith is a stopgap signing. And when you have a chance to draft a top-flight left tackle, you do it. (Previously: Andre Smith)
-- AG - 11. Bills: Everette Brown, DE, Florida St.
Despite a now-glaring need at offensive tackle, there's still a void at pass rusher, and there's more value still on the board at that position. (Previously: Tyson Jackson)
-- WB - 12. Broncos: Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
He can move inside on passing downs, giving the Broncos a flexible, athletic lineman to build their 3-4 around. (Previously: B.J. Raji)
-- Josh Alper - 13. Redskins: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss
Jon Jansen vows to keep his job, but age and injuries are conspiring against him. (Previously: Michael Oher)
-- MS - 14. Saints: Beanie Wells, RB, Ohio St.
There are concerns that Malcolm Jenkins isn't an NFL cornerback and Wells could go a long way in making Reggie Bush's life easier. (Previously: Malcolm Jenkins)
-- Ryan Wilson - 15. Texans: Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio St.
Note: Not running to the podium, actively seeking trade downs, and knowing that the Texans are likely to pick someone that nobody thinks they will pick because they always do. (Previously: Clay Matthews)
-- Stephanie Stradley
- 16. Chargers: Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee
It's not a "need" pick, but why should the Chargers reach on an offensive lineman here with the elite guys gone? Especially when the guy that Mike Mayock is calling the "best defensive player in this draft" is still sitting there. A trade could be likely, too, if Jenkins or an offensive lineman doesn't fall; as could Moreno. (Previously: Aaron Maybin)
-- WB - 17. Jets: Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
The best combination of need and talent on the board for the Jets, who absolutely need to juice up their passing game. If not a receiver, Moreno or Beanie Wells are more likely picks than Josh Freeman. (Previously: Darrius Heyward-Bey)
-- JA - 18. Broncos: Brian Cushing, LB, USC
He could play inside or outside in the 3-4, a useful trait on a defense that doesn't have enough players at either spot. (Previously: Josh Freeman)
-- JA - 19. Buccaneers: Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas St.
Raheem Morris knows Freeman during his time as Kansas State's defensive coordinator, and he has compared him to Ben Roethlisberger. (Previously: Peria Jerry)
-- AG - 20. Lions: Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
Yes, the Lions still need a left tackle. Maybe they'll worry about that at some point. (Previously: Brian Cushing)
-- BC - 21. Eagles: Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
Brian Westbrook has battled injuries in recent seasons and he could use some help. Moreno is arguably the best back in the draft. (Previously: Brandon Pettigrew)
-- RW - 22. Vikings: Eben Britton, OT, Arizona
A little bit of a reach, but Vikings need a long-term answer at offensive tackle. (Previously: Percy Harvin)
-- JJ Cooper - 23. Patriots: Larry English, LB, Northern Illinois
New England used free agency to add depth at cornerback and it will use the draft to replace Mike Vrabel. (Previously: Larry English)
-- AG - 24. Falcons: Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma St.
This is the easy pick if he gets past the Eagles. He would be Michael Turner's new best friend as a tight end who can block linebackers to help Turner get outside. (Previously: Robert Ayers)
-- JJ - 25. Dolphins: Clay Matthews, LB, USC
Miami would love to get a wideout here, but there's also a need at outside linebacker. (Previously: Darius Butler)
-- AG - 26. Ravens: Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Not every team is worried about Harvin's off-field issues. (Previously: Rey Maualuga)
-- SB - 27. Colts: Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi
With the Bucs going after Freeman, Jerry falls to the Colts. (Previously: Evander Hood)
-- MS - 28. Eagles: William Beatty, OT, UConn
Beatty is raw and will need time to develop, but the guy he'll replace -- Jason Peters -- was once that way, too. (Previously: Eagles' Pick)
- 29. Giants: Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers
With Plaxico Burress no longer with the team, the Giants could choose to draft a big down-the-field target for Eli Manning. (Previously: Kenny Britt)
-- BC - 30. Titans: Hakeem Nicks, WR, UNC
Slowly, surely, Tennessee cobbles together a big-play offense. Just waiting on Vince. (Previously: Alphonso Smith)
-- JJ - 31. Cardinals: Donald Brown, RB, UConn
Because Edgerrin James wants out of Arizona. (Previously: Beanie Wells)
-- MS - 32. Steelers: Eric Wood, C, Louisville
The Steelers would love a tackle, but they'll settle for an interior lineman who can start immediately. (Previously: Max Unger)

Economic planning and development
As a Fabian Socialist, Nehru had great faith in economic planning and personally chaired his government's Planning Commission. India's First Five-Year Plan was launched in 1951, and most of its funds were spent on rebuilding war-shattered railroads and on irrigation schemes and canals. Food grain production increased from 51 million tons in 1951 to 82 million tons by the end of the Second Five-Year Plan (1956–61). During that same decade, however, India's population grew from about 360 million to 440 million, which eliminated real economic benefits for all but large landowners and the wealthiest and best-educated quarter of India's urban population. The landless and unemployed lower half of India's fast-growing population remained inadequately fed, ill-housed, and illiterate. However, Nehru's wisdom in keeping his nation nonaligned helped accelerate the country's economic development, as India received substantial aid from both sides of the Cold War, with the Soviet Union and eastern Europe contributing almost as much in capital goods and technical assistance as did the United States, Great Britain, and West Germany. The growth of iron and steel industries soon became a truly international example of coexistence, with the United States building one plant, the Soviet Union another, Britain a third, and West Germany a fourth. For the Third Five-Year Plan (1961–66), launched during Nehru's era, an Aid India Consortium of the major Western powers and Japan provided some $5 billion in capital and credits, and, as a result, India's annual iron output rose to nearly 25 million tons by the plan's end, with about three times that amount of coal produced and almost 40 billion kilowatt-hours of electric power generated. India had become the world's 10th most advanced industrial country in terms of absolute value of output, though it remained per capita one of the least productive of the world's major countries.
As modernity brought added comforts and pleasure to India's urban elite, the gap between the larger industrial urban centres and the areas of extensive rural poverty became greater. Various schemes designed to reduce rural poverty were tried, many ostensibly in emulation of Gandhi's sarvodaya (rural "uplift") philosophy, which advocated community sharing of all resources for the mutual benefit and enhancement of peasant life. The social reformer Vinoba Bhave started a bhoodan ("gift-of-land") movement, in which he walked from village to village and asked large landowners to "adopt" him as their son and to give him a portion of their property, which he would then distribute among the landless. He later expanded that program to include gramdan ("gift-of-village"), in which villagers voluntarily surrendered their land to a cooperative system, and jivandan ("gift-of-life"), the giving of all one's labour, the latter attracting volunteers as famous as the socialist J.P. (Jaya Prakash) Narayan, founder of the Janata ("People's") opposition to the Congress of the mid-1970s. The Ford Foundation, an American philanthropic organization, began a community development and rural extension program in the early 1950s that encouraged young Indian college students and technical experts to focus their skills and knowledge on village problems. India's half million villages, however, were slow to change, and, though a number of showcase villages emerged in the environs of New Delhi, Bombay, and other large cities, the more-remote villages remained centres of superstition, poverty, caste division, and illiteracy.
It was not until the late 1960s that chemical fertilizers and high-yield food seeds brought the Green Revolution in agriculture to India. The results were mixed, as many poor or small farmers were unable to afford the seeds or the risks involved in the new technology. Moreover, as rice and, especially, wheat production increased, there was a corresponding decrease in other grain production. Farmers who benefited most were from the major wheat-growing areas of Haryana, Punjab, and western Uttar Pradesh.
Post-Nehru politics and foreign policy
At his death on May 27, 1964, Nehru's only child and closest confidante, Indira Gandhi, was with him. Long separated from her husband—Feroze Gandhi, by then deceased—Indira had moved into Teen Murti Bhavan, the prime minister's mansion, with her two sons, Rajiv and Sanjay. She had accompanied her father the world over and had been the leader of his Congress Party's "ginger group" youth movement, as well as Congress president, but, as a young mother and widow, she had not as yet served in parliament nor on her father's cabinet and, hence, did not put herself forward as a candidate for prime minister. Though it appeared that Nehru was grooming her as his successor, he had denied any such intention, and his party instead chose Lal Bahadur Shastri as India's second prime minister. Shastri had devoted his life to party affairs and had served Nehru well both inside and outside his cabinet. His modesty and simplicity, moreover, appealed to most Indians.

Dublin Residents Voice Concerns to Congressman Barrow on Government Shutdown
DUBLIN, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - As partisan politics plays out in Washington D.C., one Middle Georgia U.S. lawmaker made a pit stop in Dublin Monday to hear the community's thoughts and concerns on the government shutdown.
Dublin residents have a message to congress.
"Start working together so that all the people in the federal government can start working for the people again," Bill George, a Dublin resident, said.
George is a furloughed worker at Robins Air Force Base. He came out to U.S. Representative John Barrow's "Congress on the Corner" town hall meeting at Lou Ann's Biscuits and Burgers to get an update on what's happening on Capitol Hill.
"I want to know where we're going in the near future and see if we can't get out of this deadlock we have between two houses," George said.
Over breakfast and coffee, Barrow answered questions and listened to the community's concerns.
"I hear them loud and clear," Barrow said.
"It showed he cared about the people, and to me, that's what they're elected for," Dublin resident Brenda Vanderveen said. "To hear our viewpoints and to take them back with them and hopefully help them make good decisions for everybody."
Barrow says their main concern was the government shutdown.
"The folks who wanted to shut down 99% of the government because they couldn't agree on 1% are basically backing down, meanwhile folks on the other side seem to be getting their backs up, trying to exact some concessions as well," Barrow said.
Barrow adds he sees a compromise in the future, but it will require some give and take on both sides of the aisle.
"It seems the folks who started this fight are now in a mood to compromise. The last thing we need is folks on the other side who didn't start it to continue this in order to exact some concessions for their side," Barrow said. "Both sides should be prepared to give and take and end this thing as quickly as possible."
Barrow adds lawmakers should not be holding parts of the government hostage just because "Congress can't get it's act together."
Barrow says he is donating his pay everyday during the government shutdown to the Augusta Warrior Project and urges his colleagues to do the same, saying that would help "end this thing sooner rather than later."

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We are American converts and just moved into the community a few years back so we went to AIS to place our kids in the school and were very put off by a women who claims her name was Elizabeth although she is clearly not from the US and doesn t understand the American school system. She was very rude and turned us away from the school. She misunderstood the way things work here as far as services and transportation are concerned. To avoid the hassle of dealing with her, we decided to go with a public school. We are so disappointed and upset as to why people like her are still there misrepresenting AIS. It s their loss.
Miss the old Annur. New is NOT IMPROVED, just under dictatorship. Don't bother telling me about the rules, they go over them EVERYDAY AT ASSEMBLY!
Annur Islamic School is the very first Islamic school in the community. To the general public, the non-muslim teachers are well-informed about the attitude, morals, and way to hold one self at Annur. As an alumni of this school, I feel more than welcome there. Every school has rules that are wished to be followed, all that matters is that it's respected and listened to.
Just because there are non Muslim teachers doesn't mean the school is falling apart. The non Muslim teachers are teaching subjects that have no influence on the religion, and they are certified teachers. They also have a lot of respect for the school and Islam , they follow the rules and codes. And as parents people should also try to help the school by teaching their children at home what it is like to be a Muslim and obedience , the school is their to help them learn but they cant have a 100% influence on the kids if they are treated differently and are given less restrain at home and outside of school. Also the school is working very hard to get every thing back in an organized and clean manner the best way they can.
AIS is a great place to wok at. You will have the opportunity to grow and make a difference in people's lives. The great thing about AIS is the challenges that spice up the day. This what keeps me going and motivate me to make a difference. I wish that I will be rewarded in life and life after. Thanks AIS for this opportunity !
As a parent at AIS, I'm grateful to have my children attending it. They were discovered. Thanks AIS Principal, administration, and teachers for all the hard work you have done.
Annur has crumbled. The place is falling apart... It's filthy, with a rat infestation, its old & the hearts are darkened. Alumni are not welcome Which is clearly the entire way of the new & improved administration... Non Muslims teaching our students makes this school not much different of an environment than public schools!!!
They need to work on disciplining the kids. Because they misbehave and get away with it. Its frustrating just to be in the same hallway with these kids. Im sure there are good students attending also however they need to start addressing their issues before it starts getting worse. The difference between AnNur and other public schools is the Islamic values that are to be instilled into these kids, thats should be the main focus of this school because it will aide in the behavior problems. AnNur was a respectable school, lets see what happens and where this school will go.
There are many issues in the school. Not a healthy environment. Hypocrisy is what the administration and BOD practice. December 19, 2009 Post is made by the "leader". So much for tooting your own horn! Not a recommended school.
An Nur roxxxxx!!!!!! Mashaalah, this is an amazing school that teaches proper Islam and helps children understand their religion and love it and want it, rather than force them to memorize random facts and make them think of their religion as dull adn strict,
This is my first year teaching here and I am having an amazing experience. The kids have excellent behavior as compared to Public schools, so this gets rid of the barrier of misbehavior taking time out of quality learning. The Leadership is also great. We have a new principal this year who is experienced with Islamic Schools and is an amazing human being. Character is at the top of our priorities in a world now without it. Our Motto is Striving for Ihsaan (arabic for Excellence) Excellence in all aspects of learning: Islam, Quran, Arabic, Math, Science, English, History, Physical Fitness, and Art.

Whoa … did Katherine Webb just tweet that she'll be in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue?
Jan 11, 2013, 2:20 PM EDT
So why did Katherine Webb announce on Twitter that she was doing a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated, and then quickly delete it? Mystery afoot! It was earlier this week that Webb worried that her new-found fame would harm her relationship with her boyfriend, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron. Webb, of course, came to prominence when ESPN's Brent Musburger praised her looks during the BCS title game.
Since then, Webb got a gig judging the Miss USA pageant, and now this: most are assuming that her tweet means she'll be gracing the pages of the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. The magazine is notoriously secretive about its swimsuit issue, so perhaps they told her to nix the tweet. But several people saw it anyway.

Dependent enrollment cannot be processed until the student's enrollment has been updated to reflect the current semester's coverage.

The battle for the Senate now looks like a standoff with neither Republicans nor Democrats likely to win the 60 seats needed for political control. Will partisan gridlock change after Election 2012?
Evan Bucci/AP
This was supposed to be the year that Republicans stormed back into power in the US Senate, after enduring six years in the minority. But that scenario is looking less certain as Nov. 6 nears – thanks to a few missteps by GOP candidates, strong campaigns by some Democrats in red states, and presidential battleground states that lately are tilting toward President Obama in the polls.
As a result, political control of the Senate remains up for grabs – and the likelihood is rising that the winning party will hold only the narrowest of majorities. The upshot? Hope is fading that Election 2012 will yield a decisive mandate that can break the partisan gridlock that has immobilized Washington policymaking in recent years.
"When you have parties that are this polarized, unless one party really dominates the whole government – 60 votes in the Senate, a majority in the House, White House – then everything has to be a compromise," says political scientist David Karol at the University of Maryland. "And there's no basis for compromise."
Senate Democrats hold only a 53-to-47-seat majority, and this election they are defending nearly two dozen seats – twice as many as Republicans.

Cardinals sign Carpenter to six year, $52M deal | Tradition Field still on the table as possible future Astros site
Ditto for those who liked Eastwood`s diatribe. Let me say a few words about legitimate rape. In Vero a few years back a man was sent to prison for raping an underage girl. It was a legitimate rape case. However if you will also remember after him spending 9 years in prison the girl finally admitted that the whole rape affair was a hoax . It never happened. Therefore that was not a legitimate rape. Akin`s point was in legitimate cases studies showed that women had the ability to somehow manage to not be impregnated. A legitimate rape does not mean that anyone is inferring that rape is legitimate. Although in some cases when rape is inferred it actually did not happen which concurs that the rape was not legitimate. Legitimate rape simply put means that a rape actually happened not to be legitimized but to be proven that it actually happened. There have been many cases of vindictive women cried rape when it did not happen which means it was not legitimate. The problem is jumping to conclusions about every word uttered by a Republican. Yet the Democrats who have the most "gutter" mouth representives get a pass on their "slip of the tongue" moments. For crying out loud do you really think candidate for public office would intentionally sabatoge his own race by actually inferring that rape was legitimate? You need to do some research and do not believe every thing the Obama press puts out.
Just for your information: Obamacare contains the very same use of vouchers for medicare and other services. I wish I had a copy to read and find what really we are in for. That 2,276 page healthcare bill is now 13,000+ pages with the regulatory mandates which we will never afford. So much Ms. Pelosi for voting on the bill to find out what is in it afterwards. I do not understand how you can support a bill that you never read and do not know what is in it and defend it as truth! How do you know???????
About the American Jobs act!!! The democratic controlled Senate lead by Harry Reid voted down the American Jobs Act. Why would the House pick up a bill that the Senate already killed? Not only that but what about the $848,000,000,000 stimulus "shovel ready" jobs plan which never got of the ground. I do not believe Obama is a liar! I just believe he is one of those pathalogical people who believes that whatever he says is the truth!!
I agree that citizens should demand honest open representation. How many years do we do that ritual thing. We as Americans have the term limits key in our hand,but we do not use it effectively. We have I believe the greatest government in the world. We just have too many incompetant people running it. Action is by far the best however how do you get enough people collectively together to pull that off. Besides that any issue we demand to cast will be defused by partisianship. It would do well and go a long way to rid both parties of the "Progressives". Our reps. are overpaid, over staffed, and grossly underestimate the people. Open for suggestions if you have any. I will support the Tea Party and the Republican ticket this time around. If they blow it I will support 3rd party efforts to seize control of this wayward government. I will no longer support the 2 party system. In 2008 I could not vote for either Obama or McCain. I went further down the list of candidates. Risky I know but I really felt better knowing that I did not vote for the lesser of 2 evils.
What the hell is the problem with you folks? Abortion is legal now! Go ahead "Woman" and exercise your "rights" as you call them. Men do not marry just for sex, however it strikes me why women marry men who just want sex. Why do you do those things? You claim you have rights but you surrender them over a dinner and cheap wine. Why is a man who has unprotected sex with a woman who is having unprotected sex get the blame? Yes "woman" you want the right to choose when , where ,how, and with whom you choose yet you want to shoulder none of the blame. Almost all of the abortions are convience abortions very few are forceable rape or medical problems. I must say while your contemplating your next "right too" campaign you might want to read a little history on previous civilizations and the effect on "free" sex and unlimited rights to women. Yes we men seem to have a dominering effect on some of you women simply because some of you are that damn "ditzy:
I shut the barn doors but the horses already left a long time ago.
Absoutely! Your supporting a party that takes my money and gives it to you so you can set on the porch and wait for your check. Yes yet another female who wants it all regardless of who pays. Does it not bother you that they provide just enough services to keep you docile. Can you not see why this is a diversion from the fact they blew it on jobs and the economy so you bleeding hearts carry their water by clouding the issues. When will ever get tired of being used?
Do you think they will ever get the picture? The taxpayer I mean. I hope those who believe the propoganda are not voting.
The job will not get done and done right without Brian Heady.
Let`s not forget that the class size ammend is for core academic classes only.So we have 17,651 students. 2,069of those students are in charter schools. Leaving 15,582 students for the traditional school population. Great 20,000 student stations and 15,582 students. Makes me think we should borrow more money without voter approval and build more schools where there are no kids. You know the figures are doctored up so they do not lose money. It is all about money!
From the info I heard the memorandum also states that there will be about 5 other contracts which will have to be signed involving hundreds of pages of what I do not know. Someone is going to have to be honest and forthright in their handling of the contracts. Of course COVB utilities could stop ripping off the out of city rate payers and get to an amicable solution. Not! Too many self interest here. I forgot you have a chance to elect Brian Heady back in office and let him wade through the contracts.I mean why not elect someone who has the expertise in contract resolutions?
Only a long time teacher would spew such mularky about the IRCSD. Do you remember a few years ago when the budget was $401,000,000 and what did we get for that? More money is not the answer better education is. When you are devoted to teaching to a test and teaching kids "what" to think instead of "how" to think and teaching them to access information instead of retaining info then maybe the money might not be a problem. All said and done I believe this teacher is a minion of Fran Adams and trying to propagandize the people into mo` money. Basic academic education is the only true education for kids and it does not cost a lot of money just a lot of well meaning teachers actually teaching kids. Please do not embarras yourself as folks here know we are not the best nor will we be until educating kids is the primary goal not fund raising.
Go figure! Mo` Money! Really they are experimenting on exactly how much money they can throw at the problem before any achieveable results are noticed. Keep putting them back in office and they will keep spending your childs` future.
I will give you Mitch stating his goal was to make Obama a 1 term Pres. The rest of what you said was pure political poppycock.
L Douglas:
Yeah but without an economy and jobs how and who is going to pay for all those freebees? All things relevant. No freebees until the money is there to pay for them. No! you cannot borrow from China to give away "stuff" anymore!
Absoutely not! You descriminate against me for my moral values. I have a right to my values and principles. Therefor if you tell me my views are wrong who are you to usurp my values. If you like gays then like them but I will not support their lifestyle. I find it strange that you who wants rights for all want to deny me my rights of opinion. You cannot have it both ways. Many States have already spoken on the issue and have enacted laws which do not support gay marriage. Maybe you should talk to them.
Oh no you do not get away with claiming that Obama`s lawyers argued that it was not a tax. To the contrary they argued it was a tax and that is why Chief Justice Roberts ruled it was a tax. They had to call ity a tax as a penalty would not have passed the Courts.
Miocene : For one who does not believe in God why do you continually use Him as a basis for your arguments. Religious folks do a lot of things in the name of God. That does not mean God did those things or supported those things. Your fixation on the none existance of God tells me by your constant referral of Him that maybe you might be wrongabout his none existance. I mean if I did not believe in someone or some thing I would not constantly invoke their justification or lack thereof. I mean either you belive or not or maybe your just trying to convince yourself one way or the other. None the less I think your ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------lost.
Some want proof of an alledged God. They say there is none. My question what supports your logic and can you prove it? The trouble is Christians have been putting issues aside for way to long. Gay marriage is a State issue not Federal.The Federal government has no juristiction as that was not any of the powers relegated to the Feds. All that aside I fail to see why some of you place your idealogue ahead of anyone else. There are those of us who do not accept homosexuality. You do! Now that this has been determined next subject!
Brian wants all the facts on the table in the sunshine so all can make informed choices. I think he is for selling the power company however you can bet all the contractual T`s will be crossed and I`s dotted before he does. He is thorough and really consider the fact that he will have to live with the decision also. You the public must make your case known. Brian will talk to anyone anytime so he knows what the citizens want. Or you can talk to the blow hearts who know nothing about the sale of the power plant but know all about character assassination. Who you going to trust Heady or them.
Fcat is not now or ever a diagnostic tool. I refer you to Dr. Michael Tremor. Consultant for the State and Fcat. Fcat was designed to test the delivery system. Matt Ladner is but a "lackey" for Jeb Bush founder of Foundation of Excellence in Eductaion. Jeb ruined and corrupted the Fcat test first with secrecy and then with bribe money called bonuses to insure that districts will use all means to insure desired results. Florida was once rated two years ago as 5th in the Nation. However what Ed. Week failed to mention was it was for assessments and benchmarks and the testing structure which had nothing to do with basic academic education. When it comes to basic academic eductaion they were 47th. They are proud of that fact. That is not the facts they are telling you about. Jeb has aspirations of being the Education President. He should never be Pres.and assuredly never have control over education period. magnet schools,charter schools , private schools, or virtual schools will never be successful in education if they do not return to basic academic education.
Education today is all about the money. How do you get the money? Simple experimentation! Experiment on your kids as funding pawns. Success is not the goal. Finding the right experiment and garnering tons of Federal dollars is the goal. Transparency of the dark ages? I do not quite get this one. The dark ages put a man on the moon and invented the technology that most of you can only play games on. There is a sequential order for teaching academic subjects and if not followed the patterns of learning become muddled and bring the results we have now. Everyone is grasping for new inovative teaching methods with out regards of the fact the basic academic education model was created years ago in the dark ages and is the only method that will bring about the desired results! Smart kids. All your secret testing flawed grading and mediocre assessments will never get the job done. Your childs brain is more complex and capable than any technology designed to date. You see rote memorization and instant or spontaneous recall of facts are the hard copy of basic academic education. Much like your computers which have hard copies or files to generate info the childs` computer or brain power is activate by learned and memorized info through repitition,repitition,repitition.
Their connections have instantaneous recall capabilities if they were taught correctly. If not we have what we have today which is teaching kids "what" to think instead of "how " to think. WE teach today to access info not retain facts. So when the technology goes so does their ability to recall I mean basic academic eductaion is a proven experiment which does not require more money just more tweaking of the education system to put kids education first.
Typical "liberal" rants. Trying to scare people with the hypotheticals and ignoring the obvious. It is the economy "stupid". Oh but that`s right you liberals cannot focus on the economy or jobs. In fact if it were not for social hypotheticals you would not have anything to talk about. Health care is available right now for any child in America and free of charge. Blow it out your ears liberal and talk about jobs and the economy . Oh I keep forgetting you cannot talk about those major issues.
Obama got elected because he fired up the people just like Ross Perot did. He made promiseshe had no intentions of keeping. Obama had full control of the House , Senate , and White House for 2years and did absoutely nothing he promised. He took that 2 years to implement all his progressive agenda. He could have worked on the economy and jobs ,but rather he persued his single -payer health debacle. Yes he took $716,000,000,000 billion from Medicare to finance his social health care scheme. You are right about not voting for McCain. Palin should have led the ticket. Nonetheless I could not stomach the choices so I went further down the list of candidates for my selection. I know but really what was a voter to do? I you read the book called Woodrow Wilson the Progressive years you will see like a blue print what Obama is doing. The good thing now is more people are aware of the politics and if Romney does not deliver he will be a one term Pres. just like Obama. He had his chance to represent the people instead he instituted his socialist agenda. Makes no difference how you try to defend him or any future President. They either get it right the first time or they are history. The American voter/taxpayer are awake and measuring the results. It is about the economy right now and until it gets rolling you will not be able to afford your contraceptives,or should I say we will not afford your contraceptives. I cannot see the social issues which are many taking prescedent over the economy and jobs. Just think if we put 20,000,000 million people back to work the economy may be able to fix itself as long as we watch the spenders.
Most of you do not get it!! It is not so much the taxing but the wasteful spending of those tax dollars. He is getting as many people on the "dole" as he can so when the osterity programs begin the freebeers will riot and protest and will support any govt, that will allow them to continue on the "dole". This game is more dangerous than you realize. The destruction of our economy and monetary system is by design not happenstance. You cannot control the people until you control their daily "bread". Then they will deliver this country up to anyone who keeps the "bread" coming. It is that basic and simple. Of course he has economist telling him that this is not the way to go ,but they are not privy to the "goal". New World Order".
Are they going to talk about the design and testing of Agent Orange in the area of Storm Grove Middle School? Just asking!
Let`s not forget that the House has passed over 30 bills on jobs and the economy and it is Harry Reid in the Senate who has pigeonholed the bills. It is the Democrats who have not passed a budget in3-1/2 years. Even the great Harry Reid vetoed the Pres. American Jobs Act. Then they tried to demonize the Republican House for not taking up the bill. Why would they when the Senate vetoed it. Why waste the time. Our representives in D.C. are playing a game and they are all in it. The game is who can snooker the public into believing which story the best. As you can see they have not played all their hand yet.
I am not sure where to start,but I believe firstly that it is not capitalism that is hurting this country but rather the Federal Reserve will not stop printing money! As far as republicans hating women and minorities is farthest from the truth. What we oppose is the "nanny" state in which lazy people think they are entitled to a living paid for by the rest of us. Remember it was the Republicans that brought you the Civil rights act of 64. Also the Voters Rights Act of `65. It is also the Republicans under the control of senior Bush who wants to solidify our relationship with the U.N. and get the New World Order in place. It is not the conservitives that want globilization and New World Order. You people must realize that amongst both parties is an infectiuous disease called progressivism. It is the progressives that are undermining the women and minorities. They have convinced folks that they are entitled to every damn thing in the world without putting forth any effort to provide for their own. Our Government and Capitalism is not the problem. The people we have entrusted turned on us and have enriched themselves at our expense. It is not the system but the misfits of modern chemistry that have poisoned the pot. Only the progressive Democrats would dare to accuse the Conservatives of hating women and minorities. Women can go to any health dept, and get all the contraceptives they need. Albeuit I believe a woman who needs $3,000 worth of contraceptives a year needs to change professions if she cannot afford the tools of the trade. 7 trillion dollars and 48 agencies on anti poverty have not made a dent in the poverty especially in the minority communities. The slums are still there and the delapidated schools are still there and the violence is increasing there and the more you realize that only about 22 cents out of every anti poverty dollar actually makes it to the people and services intended. Every one working for the public sector is gaming the system. You people have disillusioned your selves into believing that Republican Conservatives are the fringe. Look at your Chicago based corruption engulfed around D.C. Look at Nancy Pelosi,Harry Reid, Maxine Watters,just for starters and tell me who is in charge of the fringe. Wake up you dummies and small the rats running our country. Are you so blinded by your partisanship that you cannot see who and where the problem comes from. Most of you on these blogs should not be voting as your ability to reason is in direct correalition to the size of the subsidy you get. Why else would you defend such a corrupt handling of the greatest government in the world. Fringe!!!!! you have not a clue and nor will you because you cannot think for yourselves. Now run along and do what Barak has instructed you to do. Your check is in the mail Ha! Ha!.
Of course "gays" are not mentioned in the Bible. It was just a few years ago when the homosexuals hijacked the word"gay" from the english language. It was a kinder gentler word as opposed to the nasty names they used to be called. However there are references to that form of lifestyle in the Gospels.
What is the matter with you Republicans? Do what the Democrats do and put the black panthers at the polling places to intimidate voters. Hell voter suppression is all about one man one vote and being legal to boot. I dare say legal voters are subject to vote the wrong way. So spice it up with the illegal voters. Win if you can lose if you must ,but always cheat. That works in a Democracy not a Constitutional Republic. There are however a number of democracies that would appreciate your participation. When you leaving?
Those with religious beliefs do not live by them! That is what makes the problem? They have religious beliefs and do not act on them? No the problem every time they try to act on them is when it becomes a problem. Which way do you want it. Both ways will not work because then no matter what Christians do it is a problem. Okay now I know where you are coming from. Hell if we do and hell if we do not. Consequently That is why you have the problem and we do not.
The House did not vote on the American Jobs Act because Harry Reid and the Democratic controlled Senate voted it down. No use for the House to pick up a bill the Senate already voted out. To date there are no less than 30 House bills voted on and sent to the Senate and Harry pigeonholed them and refuses to bring them to the floor for a vote.Truth is the Democrat majority will never pass a Republican bill on jobs and the economy until the election is over. By then it will be to late as the Republicans will gain control and put America back to work.
The belief system invoked in the Declaration of Independence is sufficient for me. Remember the Constitution is not a living document in so much as it evolves constantly. This belief that the Constitution evolves is why there is so much division among the people. The rules were already set before any of us were even thought of. Those rules are what made the Constitutional Republic Experiment so successful. To deviate from such powerful logic expressed in the Founding Documents is a course followed will end in what you have now which is anarchy to the rule of law. We as believers have no problem accepting those rights given by our creator. It is you secular pagans who kick against the pricks of life. Really chastizing Christians is some what frutile. My only suggestion to you if God and Christiany upset you take it up with God personally as He is in control not us. Actually there is not one of us or you who can rely on anything other than a book and a belief. Your beliefs and values come from your acceptance of a belief you adopted from some book which you deem absolute. Some of us believe we picked up the right book as opposed to your selection of literary philosophy. Christians cannot compromise their values on life to accommodate eugenics. There is a moral clock within which rebels against the taking of a life either in the womb or heading for the tomb.Life is and always will be the preferred outcome. I know I value life and I believe others should be allowed to value life. So if we Christians are so dellusional and out of touch why do you not just leave us to our dellusions and leave us alone. The laws of God and Natures God are established and we hold them dear.Life is life and anything else is death. Maybe you should have read other books before forming a life long opinion of--------------!
Every man has a book and a belief. You can no way support your belief other than refer to a book. Your wisdom is seriously lacking! Only the victors record history and the way they want it remembered! You can prove nothing outside of your ignorance. God is not religion but life itself. How do I prove that? I do not. God never told believers to defend his word just share it. He will defend His own works!As far as gays having rights trhey do not. All people without regard of their makeup are endowed by their creator with those inalienable rights of life liberty and the persuit of happiness. It says nothing of sexual preference. Gay or straight is a preference not a right. The right they have is to be what they want to be without infringing on the rights of those who do not accept their preferences. If you do not want to know what a Christian believes do not ask them questions and then protest when they answer you. Intolerance works both ways. Anyway hold onto your book and beliefs and leave others to theirs`.
Obama actually cut medicare $716,000,000,000. Truth is what used to be middle class is gone. Fact is if it were not for credit cards we probably would not have a middle class. Middle class used to be workers , self reliant , saved their money, paid cash for cars and homes. Now to be considered middle class requires both parents to work and maintain a healthy credit line.Middle class an illusion and delusion.
One man , One Vote , One Day , No primaries all names on ballot both parties and a paper trail for voters. They will not have much time to skewer the vote. Absentee ballots were a help but now a new fraud and it gets worse every election cycle. Do you see the voters in Iraq? They risked being shot going out to vote. The purple finger was necessary but dangerous. So you bellyache about voting? At least you do not risk your life voting here. How lazy can you folks get? How long will you allow the vote scam to continue? We the people are the ones who should impose term limits. We have the government we have because of lazy voters. Most of you do not know who to vote for until your at the polls. Many do not even know who is office now and they are voting. HELP!
I would much rather listen to someone pounding on the Bible than listen to mealy mouth liberal progressives pounding on Karl Marx Manifesto. "Eat more chicken". Those who do not can eat "crow".
It is pretty damn easy to call elections especially when your one of the editorial staff that interviews and endorses candidates. The voters like sheep go along with the editorial staffs decisions thinking you know what your doing. Brian Heady might be 1-15 ,but at least he is persistant and unlike you who he is up to the challenge.
Sure people vote before election day. Anything to make voters lazier. One man , One vote , One day , and a voter paper trail. Of course you like early voting it gives plenty of chance to skewering the vote. No primaries,all names on the ballot and everybody votes. Try that method and see what your "calling it" record will be. Of course you and the "good ole boys" could never handle that. No competitive spirit just manipulation. You all buy ink by the barrel and smear it willy nilly on the paper and try to manipulate the political results. Like I said before the P-J editorial board is responsible for the government we have. Hope your proud I am not.
We the people are the "term" limits!
Check the crashes you talked about and see if those Republican Presidents had either the house or Senate under Democratic control. Reagan had Tip O`neil least we forget the battle Reagan had getting anything passed. The Bush`s are all "New World Order" people which fit the Democrats like a glove. "Progressives" folks is the counterproductive element here. At least with Romney and Ryan we know exactly where they are at. The mystery is what is Obama going to pull next? Anyway looming on the front burner is the fact that Ron Paul may surprise everyone at the convention. It is never too late for miracles.
Give it up! You have not aclue about those judgements. It is not any of your business. Show me a man who does not make mistakes and I will show you a man who does "nothing". That is for you not Brian. Because of your short sightedness and myopic views we must endure more of the same "good ole boys" for 4 more years. Get a life and leave his alone! They are what they are and no tax dollars involved. I am concerned about the economy and jobs. Not your economy and job but all the citizens of IRC. Forget this I wasted to much time on you when I ran.There was no judgements involved then just your brand of censure!
You need to reverse the hostage game. Put them on notice that this is the last election for all Board members. You will not reelect them again. Change will not come until you change. You are the enablers. Think about it! They can do nothing without your money.You parents hold all the cards. You just have to play them. It is your childs` future for crying out loud. This administration has been gaming the system for years. Somebody please explain to me what is the problem that you do nothing about it? Why do you drag your feet? Now is the time to groom new candidates for School Board and advise them that they are to fire the administration immediately as their first official act. Inform the State that you will no longer teach or test the FCAT. Install a basic academic education program. Put the union on notice that parents are now in control and any bargaining will be with parents out in the sunshine. No more secret union society let`s rip the system meetings. Parents you can do this if you collectively put the district on notice that change is coming and those not on board should seek employment elsewhere immediately. All you have to do is do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They just cannot tell the truth.Critical needs and debt service tax from the 1990 bond referendum? That was 22 years ago and it was for $64,000,000. IT has taken 22 years to pay of that amount? How long do you think it will take to pay the existing debt? The debt service now is $21,000,000 a year. $250,000,000 was borrowed thru the (COPS) bonds which are certificates of participation bonds. Couple that with the $50,000,000 general obligation bonds + about $25,000,000 from the State Board of education. Then throw in (RIN) revenue anticipation notes and you have close to $350,000,000 owed out to 2027 and beyond. The kicker is none of that money was approved by the voter/taxpayer. That is right you had no say , but you have inherited the privilege of allowing your grandkids to pay it off. Fran Adams called it transparency? Up front and open with the public. They borrowed $350,000,000 on the full faith and credit of the taxpayer without voter approval? Article 7 Sec. 10 clearly prohibits borrowing without voter approval. Do you really care? They call that transparency??
All in the name of saving more jobs and programs at the expense of your childs` education. You fell for it hook line and "lie". I am sorry but you folks are such easy prey. Your property has been devalued your assessment increased and now you want to pay more taxes. Did you at least question them? NO! You did not even go to the budget meetings. I tell my friends who are going to Florida not to drink the water in IRC. Now that they will get more debt service money I bet they will borrow (COPS) money. After all the debt service right now is only $21,000,000 a year and payments out to 2027 and beyond. I hope your grand kids who will be saddled with this worthless debt will not be to bitter. They will be broke but not bitter you hope.
By the way Brian some day if I win the lotto I will show you how to "buy" an election!!
I found it hard to believe that Solari had enough wind to pull this off. Look folks the collective value of your homes dropped $30,000,000 under his lackluster term. Millions upon millions of your dollars went to connected friends at your expense. He would not spend his own money so friviously. Tax incentives and abatements are the limit of his knowledge to bring jobs to Indian River County. To be sure no industry will be allowed in that pays more than the County.Brian Heady has the business and common sense approach to economic growth. Sorry the only loser here is the taxpayer. I am sure the public service unions will get their just reward for electing Solari.After all his approach to handling problems is throwing more of your hard earned tax dollars at them. Soon and very soon they will run out of your money and be forced to doing it right ,but I believe it will be too late by then. Congratulations Brian Heady once again you gave the voter/taxpayer a chance to get it right. I am sure it will not be long before they will see the error of their ways. Thanks for serving!
Just heard that the machine that opens ballots was malfunctioning and ripping the ballots up. I have heard of early voting but not "early counting". Just asking of course.
Look folks there are 48 different bureaucracies handling anti poverty programs.Condense it to maybe 3 and the savings will be in the billions. There is an overbloated bureaucracy in the Federal government. Many programs will be sent back to the states. They will be funded by the Federal dollars we do not have to send to D.C. Accountability is the key to saving billions of dollars. Of course if the government needs revenue then put 20,000,000 people back to work. There areso many ways to cut spending without even thinking of any taxation. All that is required is for the politicians to get serious.
What I do not understand is why my not accepting the "gay" view I am considered intolerant. However if you disagree with my views why are you not intolerant also? Why does this door swing one way only. If you can answer that than you will most probably understand why we think the way we do. So who is really intolerant? We who do not want to hear about it or those who constantly flaunt it before us continually????
Nice try on the propaganda! In case you did not hear the news today about one address in Atlanta Georgia was getting 22,776 social security checks monthly. They got over 43,000,000 dollars. Ryan and Romney will start the economy rolling just addressing waste fraud and abuse. 103,000,000 people on the public dole is unsustainable. 1/3 of our population is not productive. Of course social security and medicare are not entitlements because they are funded by workers. And it is stolen by government. What are you going to do when there is no more money for any of this? By design we are systematically being led into a european socialistic form of government. Look what happens in Greece or France or Germany when more people are on the government dole that there are workers to support them. Hello $7.00 a gallon for gas. Many are taxed at a 75% rate to provide the freebees. How long do you think we can last this way. Besides look at the hidden cost put on the taxpayers since 2008. When unemployment ran out they made it easy for those not working to apply for disability. There are billboards wanting people to sign up for food stamps.All this for your vote to keep crooks in office. If you reelect Obama and others of his ilk they will turn the tables on you during the 2nd term as they will have nothing to lose. You will not be able to speak out if your on assistance or they will jerk it out from under you. Your nanny state will turn into a wicked step mother state and quickly.
Brian Heady and I spent over 10 years and thousand of hours researching the Board and their budgets. I researched out many pedigogical practices and none is effective as basic academic education. Not one damn dime did we ask for. The only thing we ever asked for was a time to present our side and research. They are not interested in what works only what pays. Now if you care maybe you can enlighten us with your freebees for change.
Nice try Ray! Twisting the situation around to make it look like I am trying to get in it for the money. Actually I think the Board gets paid too much and also should not get a pension after 6 years. However It would not bother me to take the stipend they offer because I will save the taxpayers millions more than school Board pays. I know your trying tomake it like I am in it for the money so my answer to you is are you getting your moneys worth now? Florida only has 67 counties where a State like Ohio has 800 school boards in 88 counties. Some Boards have only 2 or 3 school in their district. Naturally a modest stipend for necessary supplies is provided. they are not like Indian River County with 17,000 kids and 2200 employees. It could concieveably be such a time that the Board cost could be cut quite a bit. That will not happen until you get Board members who want to educate kids and maintain an accurate and responsible budget. Just because one gets elected does not make them part of the "status quo". On the contrary it splits the status quo and reveals the truth in numbers. I know your concern is only in trying to twist my motives ,but that will not work too many people know me and what I stand for. Basic Academic Education is the solution and this district is the problem.Too much greed.

Just reached a new huge milestone of followers! I just wanna take this time to give a big thank you to all those who follow, including the newcomers, and the OG's, the ones who's been with PBC for the longest.
Thanks for enjoying what I post, and the type of stuff I post. I've never been the type to just post any 'ol thing just to keep the blog updated, I like to post quality stuff, and quality sometime takes a little time to find (and make), so that's why you don't see me flood your timeline everyday, all day. Quality over quantity… basically.
PBC has grown to something I didn't expect it to become, but glad it did. Anyway, thanks for all the reblogs, likes, messages, etc, and thanks for sticking with PBC, it's all very much appreciated. So yeah, there goes my little Oscar speech, haha.

Free Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes White Paper:
Extend Your Corporate Email Investment Effortlessly Send/Receive Large Files
The growing requirements for corporate compliance and governance are mandating organizations to formalize a file transfer strategy. Corporate users transferring information as part of their workflow are now placing new found emphasis on monitoring and controlling files moving internally and externally throughout the organization. Inherent limitations in email infrastructure prevent secure, rapid, and reliable delivery of large data files. As a result, employees are forced to seek out alternative means of fulfilling demanding business and customer requirements.
These white papers examine some of the methods currently used to transfer files and their limitations. The topics discussed present the case for a managed file transfer solution that integrates with corporate email clients such as Microsoft Outlook® and Lotus Notes®. Adopting a consolidated file transfer solution reduces unsanctioned data silos and provides IT with the security and governance needed for efficient business continuity.

Pricing: $10.00
It's been said that rock and roll came from the blues on the right hand and country on the left; Scott H. Biram is the middle finger on both. A CD full of exhilirating, menacing, primal, tormented, raw charm. BEWARE!!! Biram's blend of punk, delta blues, and hillbilly throws down the boogie gauntlet and sends a feral bolt of brimstone south of your studded leather belt. Yeah, sure, we could toss in lots of pointy headed music geek orgy scenarios at you; Black Flag does it with Hasil Adkins, Mississippi Fred McDowell gets down with AC/DC, John Lee Hooker lip locks with Motorhead's Lemmy--it all just scratches the surface. This is gospel for the 13th circle, and he's singing it like his feet are already halfway in the fires. "He's barbaric, determined and vulnerable. His music is too... a cachophony of hillbilly, punk and hardcore metal, it's hard to know what might come out of that smashed-up head of his." Eve Doster, Detroit Metro Times "Biram continues at the crossroads of blues, punk, hillbilly, and through his twisted vision, it all makes sense... a delirious mix of ZZ Top, Motorhead, and Mississippi John Hurt that's so full of life it's difficult to imagine it all coming from just one man." Jim Caligiuri, Austin Chronicle "Biram plays with startling intensity: hunched in a chair, his face half-covered by the bill of his trucker cap, his head bobs wildly when he sings, and his eyes roll back in his head... [you] can't tell if he is barking commands to Saint Peter or his rival down below." Dante Dominick, Chicago Reader "Biram's arsenal is a one-man-riot that sounds like Captain Beefheart getting in a wrestling match with Hasil Adkins, with Black Flag in the referee's box." James Marinelli, Dominion Post (Morgantown, WV) Barbarous exorcism of Depression-era blues. Brian T. Atkinson, No Depression Call him the Terminator of hellbilly country-punk or the Six Million Dollar Man of Appalachian blues-metal--just don't call him boring. Biram has always taken his brand of rock `n' roll to another level, singing, growling, groaning and hollering over the thick, muddy riffs from his 1959 Gibson guitar. Steve Wildsmith, Daily Times (Maryville, TN) "Coming off like a possessed male PJ Harvey, he builds manic, improvisational theatrics into his mean-man blues. The blend of stomping country blues, rock, punk and gospel lets Biram build from calm talking blues to screaming psychobilly, and both suit him." Brianna Riplinger, Ruminator "From start to finish, Biram's new album is a runaway freight car busting at the rivets with greasy, meat-grinder-raw country-blues-punk stompers and lonesome ballads." Paste Magazine He's obviously clinically insane. Bryan Hollerbach, PLAYBACKSTL (St Louis, MO) |

Re: More talent: Reds or Cardinals?

In Lynn's rookie season he was fantastic out of the bullpen, and in his first season as a starter he was an All-Star. He didn't finish the year as strong as he hoped but that has been attributed to fatigue caused by his David Wells physique. Now that he is in shape, and starting to really get into sync with his new body his "earth" has yet to really be established. After an impressive rookie campaign Garcia was somewhat of a disappointment in '11 and certainly in '12, but Wainwright and Carpenter have said since Garcia came along that he has the most movement of anyone on the staff. Garcia's issues are almost 100% between the ears. If he figured that out he could be a sub-3 ERA pitcher again like he was in 2010. And with Miller, the guy has been projected to be a top of the rotation guy, possibly and ace his whole minor league career. Will he finish with 1.50 ERA? No, probably not, but i don't think anyone can know how much or how little regression he will face over the next 4 months.
I think you can make one heck of a good educated guess about how far Lynn and Garcia will regress, and its a lot.
