Cedar Rapids Weather
Czech Museum Leaders Look Ahead to New Moving DateBy Cindy Hadish, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Eyes from around the world can zoom in on a record-setting move in Cedar Rapids.
Web cameras are being set up to capture the relocation of the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library, as well as site preparations in advance of the May 2011 move. "This is a historic moment for us, and for Cedar Rapids, in flood recovery," said Gail Naughton, president and CEO of the museum in Czech Village. Naughton spoke during a frigid ground-breaking ceremony Wednesday, Dec. 15, outside the museum at 30 16th Ave. SW. Site preparations began just across the street on Dec. 3, as soon as the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved the museum's improved project. The FEMA involvement stems from funding used to rebuild the museum, which was swamped by 8 feet of Cedar River floodwaters in June 2008. Naughton said the goal had been to move the building in February, but waiting for final approval delayed the start of ground work and pushed the move back to May. The new museum should still be able to open on its target date of May 2012, she said. Tom Amosson, president of Rinderknecht Associates of Cedar Rapids, the project's general contractor, said the 16,000-square-foot museum will be turned as it is moved to higher ground, about 600 feet across the street. The rear of the building will become the front of the expanded 50,000-square-foot facility. Cost to move the 15-year-old building is $713,000, compared to $2 million to demolish and rebuild the structure. The 1,400-ton building will be the largest museum ever moved in the world, said Rod Scott, spokesman for Jeremy Patterson Structural Movers of Washington, Iowa. "This will put Cedar Rapids on the map," he said. Scott noted that moving preparations are already under way. Brick will be removed from the lower level to install 35 90-foot steel beams across the museum's width and four 210-foot beams length-wise. Hydraulic jacks will lift the building before it is rolled on dollies to its new site, above a new parking garage. The move, at about one-eighth mph, will take about three days. All can be viewed from the web cams the museum is installing. With ties to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and elsewhere, Naughton expects international interest. About 35,000 people annually visited the museum before the flood, with a $1 million annual impact. By 2014, the museum projects 54,000 visitors per year. Wednesday's event, attended by dignitaries such as Lt. Gen. Ron Dardis, executive director of the Rebuild Iowa Office, marked milestones in the museum's fundraising efforts. Naughton said goals have been met for the entire $25 million flood-recovery campaign, including $6 million raised to meet the $3 million challenge grant from the Hall-Perrine Foundation and a $2.5 million Cedar Rapids area campaign. The museum received $10 million in state I-Jobs funding and a $2.9 million Vision Iowa Community Attraction and Tourism grant. "Cedar Rapids and Iowa have really stepped up," Naughton said, citing 302 donors for the entire campaign and 75 percent of the amount coming from the state and from Iowans. "It's just humbling to have the support we've received, both emotionally and financially." See progress of the ground-work and move on the museum's website.

The ICI/LEND program at Boston Children's Hospital celebrated the end of the year with its annual Convocation on May 10th. Thirteen of the 19 fellows who completed the program were able to join in the celebration. Fellows presented their reflections on visiting families via the Linking Hands program, interviewing Title V program leaders throughout the state, working with community-based organizations over the course of the year, learning about policy in their annual trek to Washington DC for the Disability Policy Seminar, and highlighting some of their research. The Convocation featured the return of Dr. Sandy Friedman who was a long-time ICI LEND faculty in pediatrics and former LEND fellow herself. Dr. Friedman is now the Section Head of Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Colorado and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, as well as the Associate Director of the CO LEND program. She talked about leadership and the underpinning ethical principles guiding successful leaders, moving beyond the core characteristics of leadership, which can be achieved by both good and not so good leaders. The morning ended with a luncheon for the fellows, their families and the visitors attending the program.

Ludwik Szymanski, MD, Director Emeritus in psychiatry at the Institute for Community Inclusion, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Children's Hospital Boston Division of Developmental Medicine awards ceremony. He was recognized for his more than five decades of commitment to psychiatry and his deep affection for supporting and improving the lives of people with disabilities.

In the summer of 1855 and the notion of making a living as a writer is still a far-off dream for Louisa. The Alcott family, destitute as usual, moves to a generous uncle's empty house in Walpole, New Hampshire, for the summer. Here, a striking but pensive Louisa meets Joseph Singer. But just as she begins to open her heart, she discovers that Joseph may not be free to give his away. Their newfound love carries a steep price, and Louisa fears she may pay with the independence she has fought so hard to protect.

Goon's World:
Speaking of clowns. This is a textbook embellishment. You can't tell me that a big guy like Steve Ott who is 6'0" and 193 pounds, should be able to be knocked over this easily, no way, it's not possible. This should be a penalty on Steven Ott for embellishment. I also believe that it's probably not a smart play by Flyers defenseman Oliver Lauridsen because he fell for the bait as well. Not a good day for the Flyers defender.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Newtown held a moment of silence Friday for the victims of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School at a remembrance event that doubled as a call to action on gun control, with the reading of names of thousands of victims of gun violence.
Two sisters of slain teacher Victoria Soto asked the crowd gathered at Edmond Town Hall for a 26-second moment of silence, honoring the 20 children and six adults gunned down at the school on Dec. 14.
"This pain is excruciating and unbearable but thanks to people like you, that come out and support us, we are able to get through this," said Carlee Soto, who held hands with her sister Jillian before taking the stage.
The event then transitioned to the reading of the names of more than 6,000 people killed by gun violence since the tragedy in Newtown. The reading of names is expected to take 12 hours.
The gunman in Newtown killed his mother and then the 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School with a semiautomatic rifle before committing suicide as police arrived.
Some of the victims' families are in Washington this week lobbying lawmakers for action. Jillian and Carlee Soto met with President Barack Obama as they campaign for gun control.
"He just told us to have faith," said Jillian Soto, 24. "It isn't something that happens overnight. It's something that you have to continue to fight for. Within good time we will have this passed and we will have change."

Marriage Equality in Argentina
July 15, 2010
Last night, after hours of votes and vigils, lawmakers in Argentina voted to become the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriages nation-wide. Lawmakers in the mostly Catholic country spent nearly 16 hours debating the issue, before deciding to grant all of the protections, rights and responsibilities of marriage to same-sex couples.

Big victory for marriage equality in DC! Today the DC Court of Appeals ruled against foes of DC marriage equality who had wanted to put an initiative on the ballot to invalidate same-sex marriages entered into in D.C. "The court's ruling today is a significant victory for justice, the rule of law and the protection of all D.C. residents against discrimination," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "It's time for the National Organization for Marriage to realize equality is here to stay no matter how much money they want to throw at turning back the clock."

SAN DIEGO, CA - AUGUST 5: Yonder Alonso #23 of the San Diego Padres, left, is congratulated by Carlos Quentin #18 after hitting a two-run homer during the third inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets at Petco Park on August 5, 2012 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Denis Poroy/Getty Images)
On Saturday night, Edinson Volquez had a blister on the thumb of his pitching had, so he didn't even make it out of the 2nd inning. The short start forced Bud Black to use 5 relief pitchers. If something similar happened Sunday, the Padres bullpen would be in serious trouble.
It's a good thing Jason Marquis got the start.
"He knew what we needed, no doubt about it," said Black, "and he delivered."
Marquis threw 6.1 innings, allowing just 3 runs in the Padres 7-3 win over the Mets. San Diego took 2 of 3 games in the series.
Before throwing his first pitch, Marquis knew the pitching staff needed him to go deep. The veteran handled it extremely well.
"Most starting pitchers worth their salt like the responsibility of being a starting pitcher," said Black.
That's what Marquis is like. You don't win 111 games over 13 big league seasons unless you can handle pressure.
The Padres offense did a nice job of relieving some of that pressure, scoring runs early.
In the first inning, Chase Headley hit a 2-run home run off Mets starter Matt Harvey. It was Headley's 2nd straight at-bat with a home run (he hit a solo shot in the 9th inning Saturday) and 15th of the season, extending his career high.
"I think we're seeing much more aggressive swings throughout at-bats," said Black of Headley's power surge. "He's always been a good hitter."
Yonder Alonso added on in the 3rd inning when he smashed a 2-run homer to straightaway center field. Alonso also hit his 31st double of the season, which will force me to write down a lot of numbers.
Alonso is just three doubles away from tying Benito Santiago's team record for most doubles by a rookie. 14 of Yonder's last 22 hits have been for extra bases, putting his squarely into the National League Rookie of the Year conversation.
In the 7th inning, Carlos Quentin added on with a solo home run, his 11th of the year. Quentin also doubled in a run. The Padres had 11 hits, with a whopping 9 of them going for extra bases. That's a rare feat, indeed, when you're playing at PETCO Park.
Huston Street put the final touch on the win, working a perfect 9th to run his scoreless streak to 18.1 innings.
The Padres have three more games in their homestand. The Chicago Cubs come to town from Monday through Wednesday.

After visiting China in October 2010, Tavis returned with his staff in the spring of 2011. Along with Dr. Cornel West, the crew traveled to Beijing and Shanghai, making time to visit such attractions as the Great Wall and Imperial Palace and to celebrate Dr. West's birthday. Check out a few photos from the staff.
Tavis I think you ARE A WONDERFUL HUMAN SOUL, I ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR SHOWS. THE CHINA TRIP WAS OVERWELMING, TO SEE A BROTHER GO TO CHINA AND HAVE THE DOORS OPEN TO HIM IS HISTORY IN ITSELF. I HOPE OTHER BLACK PRESENT AND UPCOMING TAKE SOME TIPS FROM YOU, THAT U CAN SUCEED AND DOORS CAN BE OPEN TO YOU, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVED AND DID IN MY CAREER. I LOVE YOUR BOOK IT GAVE ME A LOT OF CONFIDENCE BEING AN ENTREPENUER MYSELF. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Tavis, Dr. Cornel, and Vanessa,
Such a wonderful week in China !
Your trip was exciting and eye-opening.I'll always remember the "joy" felt by migrant-workers' children because they, though deprived in many ways, were able to go to a good school.
And the courage of the high school students to speak about their educational concerns..with
you even though they knew they were being observed. It was interesting to note that they
like our music and learn some news of the world through the Internet.I also hope that the immense challenges of recovering China's natural environment-clean air and water—will become more of a global concern and attract many to this important
endeavor. Your program has helped bring greater understanding between East and West among people of good will and integrity.Best wishes,
Eleanor Rose Bersano

Racial attitudes have not improved in the four years since Obama took office
A poll by the Associated Press shows that although America elected its first black president, after four years racial prejudice against blacks and hispanics has increased slightly.
(Page 2 of 2)
The poll finds that racial prejudice is not limited to one group of partisans. Although Republicans were more likely than Democrats to express racial prejudice in the questions measuring explicit racism (79 percent among Republicans compared with 32 percent among Democrats), the implicit test found little difference between the two parties. That test showed a majority of both Democrats and Republicans held anti-black feelings (55 percent of Democrats and 64 percent of Republicans), as did about half of political independents (49 percent).
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Obama faced a similar situation in 2008, the survey then found.
The AP developed the surveys to measure sensitive racial views in several ways and repeated those studies several times between 2008 and 2012.
The explicit racism measures asked respondents whether they agreed or disagreed with a series of statements about black and Hispanic people. In addition, the surveys asked how well respondents thought certain words, such as "friendly," ''hardworking," ''violent" and "lazy," described blacks, whites and Hispanics.
The same respondents were also administered a survey designed to measure implicit racism, in which a photo of a black, Hispanic or white male flashed on the screen before a neutral image of a Chinese character. The respondents were then asked to rate their feelings toward the Chinese character. Previous research has shown that people transfer their feelings about the photo onto the character, allowing researchers to measure racist feelings even if a respondent does not acknowledge them.
Results from those questions were analyzed with poll takers' ages, partisan beliefs, views on Obama and Romney and other factors, which allowed researchers to predict the likelihood that people would vote for either Obama or Romney. Those models were then used to estimate the net impact of each factor on the candidates' support.
All the surveys were conducted online. Other research has shown that poll takers are more likely to share unpopular attitudes when they are filling out a survey using a computer rather than speaking with an interviewer. Respondents were randomly selected from a nationally representative panel maintained by GfK Custom Research.
Overall results from each survey have a margin of sampling error of approximately plus or minus 4 percentage points. The most recent poll, measuring anti-black views, was conducted Aug. 30 to Sept. 11.
Andra Gillespie, an Emory University political scientist who studies race-neutrality among black politicians, contrasted the situation to that faced by the first black mayors elected in major U.S. cities, the closest parallel to Obama's first-black situation. Those mayors, she said, typically won about 20 percent of the white vote in their first races, but when seeking reelection they enjoyed greater white support presumably because "the whites who stayed in the cities ... became more comfortable with a black executive."
"President Obama's election clearly didn't change those who appear to be sort of hard-wired folks with racial resentment," she said.
Negative racial attitudes can manifest in policy, noted Alan Jenkins, an assistant solicitor general during the Clinton administration and now executive director of the Opportunity Agenda think tank.
"That has very real circumstances in the way people are treated by police, the way kids are treated by teachers, the way home seekers are treated by landlords and real estate agents," Jenkins said.
Hakeem Jeffries, a New York state assemblyman and candidate for a congressional seat being vacated by a fellow black Democrat, called it troubling that more progress on racial attitudes had not been made. Jeffries has fought a New York City police program of "stop and frisk" that has affected mostly blacks and Latinos but which supporters contend is not racially focused.
"I do remain cautiously optimistic that the future of America bends toward the side of increased racial tolerance," Jeffries said. "We've come a long way, but clearly these results demonstrate there's a long way to go."

Academics & Majors |
Graduation rate data not available for this college.
The life of a college student is awesome. But it's also expensive. Every year you spend at college costs money.
If saving money is important, look for a college that fits you well and provides the support you need to finish your degree on-time.
It's okay to change majors, repeat a class to improve your grade, or take some extra classes that interest you. But it's going to cost you. Ask colleges what support they offer to help you plot a course to graduating on time.
Can't make it to the campus? This college has remote classroom options.
This college has programs to study and gain cultural experiences in countries around the world.
The teachers here really care about how much students learn. One class that I had trouble with was Chemistry. The teacher not only met with me after school, but also…
Clark State is great academically. They have smaller class sizes so you really get the one-on-one time with your teacher that you need. We also have tutoring services and disability…
