Fatimah Ali, journalist and radio host, dies
Fatimah Ali, the unmistakable voice that welcomed listeners on the WURD900am airwaves with her show "The Real Deal with Fatimah Ali," has died. The station announced in a statement that the veteran journalist, whose career spanned print and broadcast, died Tuesday morning. She was 55.
Ali, who spoke of her career beginning in 1981, last appeared on the airwaves on Jan. 23 following her show. Details surrounding her death are currently unavailable but she did inform listeners that she was battling a cold.
"She will be deeply, deeply missed here at WURD. She provided a fiery program, our 10 to 12 noon show Monday through Friday called the Real Deal with Fatimah Ali and she was a veteran journalist; an outspoken critic of culture and education," said Sara Lomax-Reese, president and general manager of WURD 900am Radio.
Lomax-Reese shared what she believed Ali's legacy would be.
"She was an advocate of prisoners and incarcerated men and women and she just spoke truth to power and that was really her legacy of not being intimidated and not backing down to anyone regardless of their title or position," she said.
"So, she was just a real, outspoken advocate for people who didn't have a voice."
The tributes have continued to pour in following Ali's unexpected death from colleagues and friends who lauded not only her, but her remarkable career. In addition to her stint at WURD, Ali was a former Philadelphia Daily News columnist and held other positions in the field she loved.
Ali is survived by her husband Natu Ali and five children, Ariell Hughes, Khadija Ahmaddiya, Rashida Ali, Yasmin Ali and Malik Ahmaddiya.
Service information is pending, but WURD 900am said that a tribute in her honor will be held on Friday Jan. 27.
Esteemed priest Thomas Logan made history
Reverend Canon Thomas Wilson Stearly Logan Sr. was the oldest serving African-American priest in the Episcopal Church, USA.
Father Logan died May 2, 2012. He was 100.
He was born in Philadelphia on March 19, 1912. The son of a minister and a teacher, Logan was one of eight siblings to graduate from college. Education and achievement were very important in the Logan family.
After graduating from Central High School for Boys, he attended Johnson C. Smith University and later graduated from Lincoln University in 1935 with a bachelor's degree. Three years later, he earned a bachelor of sacred theology from General Theological Seminary in New York City, and in 1941 received a master of scared theology from Philadelphia Divinity School (now Episcopal School). Over the years, Logan also received five honorary doctorates from Lincoln University, Hampton University and St. Augustine's College.
In 1938, he married Hermione Hill at St. Simon of Cyrenian Church in South Philadelphia. The ceremony was officiated by his father, Rev. John R. Logan Sr., and his brother, Rev. John R. Logan Jr.
From this union one son was born, Rev. Father Thomas W.S. Logan Jr., who died in 2011.
"They are certainly the couple of longevity," Michael Nutter said as he reflected on the Logans during a birthday celebration held for Hermione Hill Logan in March 2011 at City Council chambers.
"Father Logan is the oldest African-American priest in the country. His service has been quite incredible and Mrs. Logan has been with him every step along the way. They really are quite an incomparable pair, but their service to the community, to the nation, and I would suggest to the world, has really been something to admire. Any one of us should hope to do so much, and live so long."
Logan devoted more than 73 years of his life to the Episcopal Church. He spent his dedicated ministry serving on commissions and community groups as well as in parochial leadership. He was ordained as a deacon in June 1938 in the Diocese of Pennsylvania at Holy Apostles Church. The following year, he advanced to the priesthood at St. Peter's Church in Philadelphia. He served as curate at St. Phillips Church in New York City from 1938 to 1939; vicar at St. Augustine's Chapel in Yonkers from 1938 to 1939; and vicar and rector at St. Michael's and All Angels Church in Philadelphia from 1940 to 1945. At St. Michael's, Logan worked successfully to eliminate the church's debt during his first 12 months there. As its first rector, Logan helped quadruple the church's membership in less than five years.
In 1945, Logan helped merge Calvary Monumental Church with St. Michael's Church, creating one of Philadelphia's first interracial congregations. He was elevated to rector at Calvary Church Northern Liberties in Philadelphia, where he served until his retirement in 1984, when he was bestowed the title of rector emeritus at Calvary Church.
He also served as interim priest for five Philadelphia parishes, associate priest at the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, and chaplain of Philadelphia's Presbyterian and Misericordia
hospitals and the Philadelphia Police Department.
Logan has also served the church in a number of other leadership roles, including delegate to the Anglican Conference in Cape Town, South Africa; member of the Restitution Fund Commission; past president of the Homeless Fund; member of the Diocesan Council; a founder of the National Conference of Black Episcopalians; past president of the National Workers Conference USA; member of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and life member of the Union of Black Episcopalians.
Logan has been a visionary leader in various fraternal and civic organizations locally and nationally. He is a past Most Worshipful Grandmaster of the Prince Hall Masonry of Pennsylvania; Imperial Chaplain of the Shrine of North America; former president of the Hampton University Ministries Conference; Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks of the World and international chaplain, Frontiers International.
He was a member of Sigma Pi Phi (Boule.) He was also celebrated as the longest serving and oldest living member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., becoming a member in 1933.
His extraordinary contributions to the City of Philadelphia and region go far beyond that of a parish rector. He is past president of the Tribune and Rafters' Charities and was one of the founders of the African American Museum in Philadelphia.
Committed to equity, opportunity and active in the local and national work for social and economic justice, Logan was a life member of the NAACP, and former board member of branches in Philadelphia and Darby, Pa. In the early 1960s, he was active with the National Baptist Convention and collaborated with Martin Luther King Jr. in organizational and fundraising efforts in Philadelphia to support civil rights strategies.
Logan's service to humanity and community leadership has been recognized by countless awards and citations from church, education, fraternal and community organizations nationwide.
His family said he has served God, church and community with conviction, valor, dignity, unwavering faith and unparalleled commitment.
He is survived by his wife, Hermione Hill Logan; brother, Leonard Logan; sister, Phyllis Logan Simms; grandchildren, Lisa Logan Leach, Thomas W.S. Logan III, Jina Simmons, Kaia Jacobi and Sherry Logan; great-grandchildren, Lionel Anthony Leach III, Angel Fowlkes, Zoey Simmons, Naiomi Fowlkes; daughters-in-law, Brenda Moore Logan and Karol Logan; and other relatives and friends.
The first viewing will be held May 11 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, 6361 Lancaster Avenue. The second viewing will be held May 12 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral, 3723 Chestnut Street. Mass will follow at 11. Burial will be in Eden Cemetery, Collingdale, Pa.

Edward Robinson Jr. made his mark on Black society
Attorney, author, historian leaves powerful legacy for Philadelphia and the world
Dr. Edward Robinson Jr., Esq., historian and author died on Wednesday night, June 13, after a long battle with cancer. He was 94. At the time of this death, the legendary professor was surrounded in hospice by family members and friends, including his wife of 41 years, Harriette C. Robinson.
For more than six decades, Robinson served as a teacher and mentor to some of Philadelphia's most influential people. His mentees include Rev. William Gray Jr., former congressman and president of the United Negro College Fund; current state Senator Leanna Washington; Dr. Walter Lomax, president of the Lomax Group and owner of WURD Radio; Dr. Molefi Asante, professor of history at Temple University; the d'Zert Club founders, Ali and Helen Salahuddin; Dr. Jackie Mayfield, co-founder of Comprotax, the largest Black-owned tax preparation company in America; and his nephew, the late state Representative David P. Richardson Jr.
As an author, he wrote "Journey of the Songhai People" and "Twas the Night before Kwanzaa." He also produced CDs and DVDs such as "Black Rhapsody" and "The Songhai Princess." As a curriculum specialist, he designed an infused African history course for the Philadelphia School District, and the secondary and group leader curricula for the highly successful d'Zert Club. At the time of his death, he was working on the crown jewel of his works, a full-length motion picture called, "Whispers of the Medallion."
"For generations, Robinson was directed toward one goal: to effect a positive change of attitude toward the ancestral value of people of African descent by the total world society through dramatically exposing the beauty, grandeur and sophistication of ancient Egypt and the Songhai Empire," said protégée Bob Lott, president and executive producer of Teamwork Productions, Inc.
As an attorney and entrepreneur, Robinson was the past-president of the Provident Home Life Insurance Company, a former member of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank, deputy secretary of the State of Pennsylvania and assistant managing director of the City of Philadelphia.
"In many respects, he was a Renaissance man," recalled state Senator Vincent Hughes. "His intellectual capacity was overwhelming. His knowledge of the true contributions and the true history of all peoples, especially Africans in the Diaspora, was encyclopedic. Hearing him retell the story of the Songhai people, which was a particular focus of his, was mesmerizing — and it was factual. This was not a made-up story; this is documented history of the incredible contributions that African people made long before colonization. He and his family have a rich tradition of social justice and making sure that African people throughout the Diaspora were recognized for the significant contributions they made. Obviously, it always draws me back to his nephew, David Richardson, who I miss on a daily basis. I'm thankful to have lived in a time that Ed Robinson was around.
At age 80, Robinson produced a "Tri-Racial Comparative Time Line" which was commissioned by the national Keystone Mercy Health Corporation. He has produced numerous documentaries, including a series sponsored by 7-Eleven Stores (Southland Corporation). He has created an art gallery consisting of "The 100 Most Notable Africans and African Americans" together with a 400-word biography of each.
Robinson's legacy included the live recording of a 1970s Black history lecture he gave at North Philadelphia's (then all-girls) William Penn High School. In a voice filled with admiration and respect, his corrective history lesson began with the salutation, "My beautiful young Queens...." There was a moment of shocked silence as the students took in the conservatively dressed, middle-aged business executive, and then realizing the regal greeting was really meant for them, the Queens applauded delightedly. The live performance of Robinson's continued fight for Black survival was captured for posterity on the spoken word collection entitled, "Black Rhapsody."
"'Black Rhapsody'" was the conduit that led into everything," explained Black studies scholar and author Charles L. Blockson. "He was able to penetrate the system and the scholars. The teachers couldn't do it, and he was an ally to the African-American teachers who were down there trying to start the programs when "Black Rhapsody" came out, he took it all over. The main thing was that he was committed to music. He realized that music could penetrate the students of all levels — from African-American students as well as adults. He went into the spirituals and told the story of our history from music — which is a part of our history."
While encouraging an auditorium full of spellbound students, "Brother Ed," as he was called, proceeded to demolish pseudo-scientific "theories" of Black inferiority and white superiority. Robinson discussed distorted history books and its effects today on Black and white Americans. The record album of his memorable speech at William Penn High was played throughout the African-American community, and even garnered airtime on commercial, college and alternative radio stations around the globe.
"I remember how powerful and imaginative he was. He made you use your imagination when he talked about the history," recalled 107.9 WRNB FM "Philly Speaks" host E. Steven Collins. "Dr. Robinson was a lion in the true sense of what a lion represents: He roared — he had a tremendous impact on young people, as witnessed by his tremendous speech at William Penn High School. He was a visionary. He was a mentor for hundreds and hundreds of men, Black men in particular. You understood why the late, great David Richardson was so powerful because he impacted Dave. He impacted a lot of young men in his time to stand up and recognize how much strength we have as African-American men."
The Robinsons were longtime members of A.M.E.Union Church and celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary together on June 9. Robinson's brother, Calvin Robinson, and his son, Edward W. Robinson III, preceded him in death. In addition to his wife, Robinson is survived by his daughters, Pamela Robinson-Johnson and Michelle Harman; sister, Elaine A. Richardson; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. For more information regarding Dr. Robinson, visit http://www.drrobinson.org/.

Karin Phillips, 53, KYW Newsradio reporter
The death of KYW Newsradio community affairs reporter Karin Phillips has left a significant void.
Phillips died Tuesday following a brief illness. She was 53 and resided in Mt. Laurel, N.J.
Phillips was known for highlighting community organizations, programs and events that occurred throughout the Philadelphia region.
KYW Reporter Mike DeNardo says their newsroom is still in a state of shock.
"There is a huge void in this newsroom because Karin is not here," said DeNardo, who worked with her for almost 30 years.
DeNardo would routinely "push Karin's buttons," which led to her loud and infectious laugh being heard in the newsroom.
"I knew that if I wanted to get a rise out of her, all I would have to do is make a seemingly politically incorrect comment or play a news sound clip that I knew would set her off," DeNardo recollected.
"An outsider may think that I was trying to offend her but I was pushing her buttons simply to get a rise out of her, to make her laugh and blow off some steam. That happened every day in our newsroom. It's quiet now. It's silent and there's a void that I don't know that we'll ever be able to fill."
Phillips had been a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists.
PABJ officials issued a statement on behalf of the organization.
"The Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of KYW Newsradio Community Affairs Reporter Karin Phillips, following a brief illness," said PABJ.
"Karin's voice was particularly important to the African-American community because she was one of the few voices of color in Philadelphia mainstream radio news. She covered the Philadelphia community with passion. Karin gave a voice to members of the community that would have not had the opportunity to be heard on the airwaves. There is no doubt that Karin's distinctive presence will be missed."
Phillips joined the KYW Newsradio team in 1979 as a production assistant. She held many positions throughout the years, including reporter, writer and daytime editor.
Prior to coming to KYW Newsradio, Phillips worked as a reporter for the Burlington County Times. She also served as an anchor and producer for Express Traffic Services.
In addition to working at KYW Newsradio, Phillips was an adjunct professor teaching broadcast journalism at Rutgers University, where she graduated in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in English and Spanish and a minor in journalism. In 1998, she obtained her master's degree from Rutgers.
During her undergraduate studies, she was a reporter and editor of the campus newspaper and president of the Spanish Club. She was named Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, and was honored as one of the 50 finest graduates of Rutgers University-Camden.
She was also a member of the Philadelphia Flying Dragon Boat team, which raises money for the fight against breast cancer. As a member of the team, she helped pack surplus food for distribution to organizations feeding the hungry and prepared meals at the Ronald McDonald House, which provides living quarters for families of children undergoing hospital treatment.
Phillips, who was a Philadelphia native, resided in South Jersey at the time of her death. She was a member of the Christian Bell Choir of Burlington County, which performs in neighborhood churches, senior centers, nursing homes, and for inmates at county prisons and jails.
In 2009, Phillips received the Human Rights Award for Arts and Culture from the Philadelphia Commission on Human Rights. In 2004, she received the Outstanding Community Service award from the Philadelphia Council of Clergy, the largest multicultural religious clergy organization in Philadelphia.
She is survived by her mother, Rose, and a brother.
The funeral will take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday Sept. 20, 2011 after a 10 a.m. viewing at Christ Baptist Church, 950 Jacksonville Rd. in Burlington, N.J.

Former Dobbins, N.C. State star Page dies
Philadelphia has lost has a tremendous basketball player and a great person. Linda Page, a former Dobbins Tech basketball star, has passed away. Page was 48 years old.
Page was certainly a special player. She could score from anywhere on the court. In 1981, she received national attention for scoring 100 points in Public League game. That contest, a 131-37 win against Mastbaum, broke Wilt Chamberlain's scoring mark of 90 points, set when he played at Overbrook High School in 1955.
That was her senior year. She led Dobbins Tech to the Public League championship game that year. Despite her scoring prowess, West Philadelphia High defeated Dobbins Tech to win the league title. Jadeane Daye, an All Public League point guard, played for the Speedgirls along with stars Audrey (Lee) Bowles and Linda Hester. Daye is still trying to get over the death of Page, who was a close friend as well as a competitor.
"It still hasn't sunk in," Daye said. "We were close. We played together in the Sonny Hill League. We played on the Philadelphia Belles together. I remember before the championship game, we spent the whole day and evening together. Then, we came out and played the championship game. After the game, we got together. We were good friends.
"She was the best shooter. I remember she was shooting against Doug Collins (Philadelphia 76ers head coach) when he played (for the Sixers). I don't think he realized how good a shooter she was. He had to shoot some deep shots in order to beat her in the game."
Bowles hadn't spoken to Page in more than two decades. A year ago, Page wrote a book titled "Love, Pain & Passion: The Heart of a Champion." Bowles remembers attending her book signing.
"It was 23 years since I actually seen her," Bowles said. "She had a book signing at Harlem Restaurant in Yeadon. I remember going there. Before that, we had played on a team together in 1987. It was after our college careers. We had a team with players mostly from our West Philly team that played in the Sonny Hill League. We had Linda, Jadeane, Vincene Morris, Michelle Washington, Debbie Lytle, Theresa Govens and Freda Gibbs. That was the last time I was actually with her.
"It was good reconnecting with her. We talked about the things she accomplished. I think what's important is that Linda knew the Lord. You know, we were all part of a good era of women's basketball in the Public League. I know I had a good foundation with my mother (Lois Lee), my high school basketball coach Bernie Ivens, softball coach Paulette Bolton and Eleanore Johnson (volleyball coach).
"We all went to college. Linda went to North Carolina State. Jadeane went to Syracuse. Linda Hester went to La Salle. I went to Temple. We all had good people around us who provided a good foundation. We'll never forget that."
Marilyn Stephens, former Simon Gratz and Temple basketball standout, is the head women's basketball coach at Cheyney University. Stephens attended Page's book signing. She wanted her players to know about her legacy.
"Right now, one of my players is reading her book," Stephens said. "Linda signed her book to Cheyney women's basketball. I was devastated when I heard the news that she had passed. She was a great player."
They called her "Hawkeye," and she could really put the ball in the basket. Page was raised in Southwest Philly. She scored 2,383 points in her scholastic career.
She was a big time player for North Carolina State. She was one of four women to score more than 2,000 points for the Wolfpack. She scored 2,307 points, ranking second all-time at the school. She was named first-team All Atlantic Coast Conference twice. She was chosen three times on the ACC all-tournament team. In 1983, she was named MVP of the ACC tournament. In 1985, Page averaged 21.1 points and 7.6 rebounds a game while leading NC State to the ACC championship.
"She was the best player in Philadelphia," said Hester, who had a magnificent college basketball career at La Salle. "Her skill level was phenomenal. She wanted to be the best and she accomplished that. Excellence was always her standard. It all started in high school."
Dawn Staley, head women's basketball coach at the University of South Carolina, played at Dobbins Tech after Page. Like Page, Staley was a high school All-American. She also played her college basketball in the ACC at the University of Virginia. In addition, she had a great career in the WNBA.
"I think Linda Page put Dobbins on the map," Staley said. "I didn't meet her until afterwards. She was very articulate. She loved basketball. She paved the way for a lot of players. She'll be missed by the Philadelphia community."
Page played for two legendary coaches, Dr. Tony Coma (Dobbins Tech) and Kay Yow (North Carolina State) during her career. Lurline Jones, former University City head coach and Alison Eachus, ex-William Penn High head coach, will always remember Page for her contributions to the game.
"I was shocked and saddened with the news of Linda's passing," Jones said. "Ever since her book was published, I had the pleasure of planning a book signing and reception at Dobbins her. In early August we discussed her appearance at the SRC and City Council. It was on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 4th, at a meeting with Councilwoman (Jannie) Blackwell that she would get the ball rolling for such an appearance. She will be missed. I am thankful that I was able to spend some quality time with her as she told her story. I hope that the family and those of us in the basketball arena will keep her legacy alive."
"Linda Page played basketball for our AAU team, the Philadelphia Belles," Eachus said. "I also coached against her while she was at Dobbins and I was at William Penn. I have hundreds of Linda Page stories, each a fond memory of a special character. Philly has lost another legend; the basketball community has lost a great player and those who knew her lost a friend. She will be missed by many."
Page graduated from North Carolina State with a degree in criminal justice. She was a retired juvenile probation officer. She had the Linda Page Shooting Clinic. Page also played professional basketball in Sweden and Spain.
Funeral arrangements have yet to be finalized.

Raspberry Pi: Computer on a stick for only $25
A British nonprofit has a novel idea for getting kids interested in computer programming--a computer that fits in a pocket and costs less than the latest video game.
It's called Raspberry Pi, and the prototype isn't pretty--it looks like a leftover scrap from electronics recycling day. But it's a working computer that game developer David Braben and his Cambridge-connected colleagues expect to make available for only $25 for a fully configured system.
Don't expect to see Raspberry Pi on store shelves anytime soon--although I think it'd do pretty well in the check-out line in between the tabloid mags and packs of Trident--because the rough prototype still needs some refining and the Raspberry Pi Foundation's goal is to get the systems into the hands of children in both the developed and developing world.… Read more

NEWPORT, R.I. – World-renowned trumpeter, composer, conductor and educator Jon Faddis – who was declared as "the best ever" by the legendary John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie – will conduct a master class and workshop for high school students on Saturday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Salve Regina University.
The free program, "Pathways to Jazz," which is being sponsored by the Newport Festivals Foundation, Inc.™ and the department of performing arts Salve Regina, has attracted student musicians from throughout southern New England.
The program will kick off with comments and an introductory performance by Faddis and the master class teachers, and conclude with a performance by workshop participants. The program will be held in historic Ochre Court, 100 Ochre Point Ave.
Joining Faddis as workshop leaders will be some of the area's outstanding performers and educators including Metro Narcissi (saxophone), Mac Chrupcala (piano), Mike Renzi (piano), Joe Parillo (piano), Alan Bernstein (bass), Mike Coffee (drums) and Gino Rosati (guitar).
"The Newport Festivals Foundation and Newport Jazz Festival are pleased to build upon our long-time relationship with Salve Regina University and Jon Faddis to present this master class for area high school students," said George Wein, producer/founder of the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals and Chairman of the Newport Festivals Foundation. "Education initiatives are an important goal of the Foundation's mission and we are looking forward to helping young musicians develop their skills and mindsets as they consider future careers in music."
Faddis remains true to the tradition of honoring mentors who taught him, regularly leading master classes and clinics worldwide, and also teaching as a full-time faculty member at the Conservatory of Music, Purchase College-SUNY (where he is artist-in-residence, professor and director of jazz performance).
As a trumpeter, Faddis possesses a virtually unparalleled range and full command of his instrument, making the practically impossible seem effortless. Born in 1953, Faddis began playing at age 8, inspired by an appearance by Louis Armstrong on television.Meeting Dizzy Gillespie at 15 proved to be a pivotal beginning of a unique friendship that spanned over three decades. Shortly after his 18th birthday, Faddis joined Lionel Hampton's big band, moving from Oakland, Calif. to New York.
Faddis worked as lead trumpet for the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra at the Village Vanguard, formed his own quartet, and soon began directing big band orchestras, including the Grammy-winning United Nation Orchestra, the Dizzy Gillespie 70th Birthday Big Band, the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band (1992-2002), Chicago Jazz Ensemble (2004-2010) and the successor to the CHJB, the Jon Faddis Jazz Orchestra of New York (2003-present).
His distinctive trumpet appears on hundreds of records and numerous soundtracks for film and television. His original works include the Jazz opera Lulu Noire (1997) as well as compositions on his Grammy-nominated Remembrances (Chesky 1998), Hornucopia (Epic 1991), Into the Faddisphere (Epic 1989) and Teranga (Koch 2006).

Plastic Shores | |
An in-depth analysis of the oceanic plastics problem, past and future, and what can be done about it. |
Plastic Shores (Edward Scott-Clark, United Kingdom, 2011; 55 min.) Today, the material that will leave the biggest impression on future generations is plastic. The film explores the varying roots of the plastic problem. The phenomenon of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is discussed and the viewer discovers that there are not just one but five of these patches in the world (North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans). The documentary ends on a slightly more optimistic note, the viewer discovers what can and is being done to counter the effects of the disposable society we live in today.

BOSTON, Mass. (WWLP) —
Select public schools in five states, including Massachusetts, will add 300 hours to their school year next fall. Federal, state and private funding will cover the cost of giving extra learning time to more than 5,000 students in the Commonwealth.
"It's a strategy that we have tried to emphasize, particularly in gateway cities where despite the extraordinary progress that we've been making across the state, there are still achievement gaps," said Gov. Deval Patrick.
Lawmakers say more classroom hours could help students from low-income and minority backgrounds compete with more affluent students who can afford extra-tutoring and extra-curricular activities.
"Families that are able to afford extended learning time in the form of, you know, piano lessons, or extra tutoring help …are absolutely making those investments for their children," said Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz (D-Boston), who chairs the Legislature's education committee. "Just on a very practical level, having more time in learning is really important for delivering the kind of quality that we ask of schools."
The school districts of Fall River and Lawrence will participate in the extended learning. If the pilot program is successful, it could extend to more schools. But not all students are looking forward to it.
"We just want to get out of school and have a little break from all of that intense, you know, learning," said 14-year-old Hannah Kirstel of Parker Middle School in Chelmsford. "No, I wouldn't be very enthusiastic about that, no."
Altogether, nearly 20,000 students nationwide will receive extended school hours next September. The extra learning time will provide special help for struggling students and devote time to arts and music.

While continuing the cleanup instigated by the previously mentioned documentary, I threw out quite a lot of stuff.
One piece of paper had the following dialog that I transcribed before discarding. It concerns a man and his Vista laptop.
—Hello laptop. —Hello user! —I'd like to change some settings, can I open the control panel? —[long, long pause] No problem! —I want to change what happens when I close the lid. What happens currently? —[extended pause] Well that depends if I'm on a battery or plugged in. —Why, what's the difference? —[assume long pauses unless told otherwise] Well, if I'm on battery and you close the lid, I go into sleep mode. —And? If you're plugged in? —Well, if I'm plugged in and you close the lid, I go into sleep mode. —That's the same isn't it? —Well, I kill a few apps, just to spice it up. —I see. So what is sleep mode? —It's a low power mode where applications are paused. —Suspended? —No, that's suspend. —What's suspend? —It's a bit like hibernate. —Oh. What exactly is hibernate? —Well... it's somewhat similar to sleep. —What's the specific difference between all of those? —Hmmm. Well, let me see. It's very... There's... Well Okay. I'm not completely sure myself. So I just delete a few extra files to make it convincing. Ah, anyway, you were wanting to change a setting? —Frankly, I'm a little concerned now. But all I want to do is make sure that if I just close the lid, and if you're plugged in to a power supply, then I want you to just do nothing. —Nothing? —Just pretend like nothing's happened. Pretend I haven't event touched the lid. —Can I kill some apps? —No. —Delete a few smallish files? —No. —Move the swap file around on disk. Jiggle it a bit? —Not even that. —What if I 'clean up' the registry or terminate some services? —No, not that either. —Nothing fancy at all? —Nothing. —Okay, Sir. It's your dime. —So when I shut the lid, while you're plugged in to a power supply, what are you going to do? —Nothing much. —Nothing much? —Okay, nothing at all. I'm going to pretend you haven't even touched the lid and that you're still watching very closely. I can do this. I'm a pretty sophisticated operating system you know. I'm not some version two or three operating system. I am Windows Vista, the most eagerly anticipated operating system in the history of windows operating systems. All of this tricky 'do nothing stuff' is considered elementary to a system like me. Go ahead. —Okay here we go. —No problem! Bring it on. —You're definitely ready? —Ready as ever. A little bit excited actually. —Here goes. Man gingerly closes the lid. Without a pause we hear the hard drive grind to a halt. Lights flicker out. [man performs a facedesk]

Just a thought: maybe some sneaky, corner-cutting laptop manufacturer wired up the "lid closed" switch to the "go to sleep" button? Reminds me of the hoops I have to jump through to persuade my laptop that this USB keyboard I've just plugged in really is a Japanese keyboard. "But Plug 'n' Play says it's American." "I don't care what Plug 'n' Play says. I can see the keycaps and I say it's Japanese." "Okey-dokey. Japanese mode engaged. Now you can type in Japanese ... on your American keyboard."

Ovarian Cancer TreatmentTreatment of ovarian cancer should be under the direction of an experienced gynecologic oncologist (a specialist in women's cancers). Surgery is the usual first treatment for ovarian cancer. Whenever possible, the surgery takes place at the time of exploratory laparotomy. The operation is paused while the pathologist rapidly reviews the biopsy tissues. The pathologist's report determines the structures affected by cancer and if they should be removed. This spares the woman from undergoing another surgery.
After chemotherapy is completed, the woman may undergo "second-look surgery." Her surgeon will examine her remaining pelvic and abdominal structures for evidence of residual cancer. Samples of fluid and tissues may be taken to check for residual cancer cells. Must Read Articles Related to Ovarian Cancer

5 Things We Didn't Know About Weight LossYou're aware that you should eat more fiber and less saturated fat, and that soda is like liquid candy. But did you know about the 134-calorie mistake you're making at lunch?
By Corrie Pikul
Photo: Thinkstock
This writing exercise could be as slimming as the kind you do with hand weights.Women who were asked to make a list of values (like relationships, politics and religion), and then write about the one that that was most important to them lost more weight, had lower BMIs and smaller waistlines than those who didn't write about their values, found researchers from Stanford University and the University of Waterloo in Canada. In the journal of Psychological Science, the study's authors speculated that when we focus on what's important to us, we feel better about ourselves and more in control of our habits, making us less likely to turn to food in times of stress or emotional need.

FRANKFURT, May 15 (Reuters) - Rewe, one of Germany's largest retailers, said it is looking to sell its ProMarkt chain of consumer electronics stores because it is unable to compete with competition from online retailers such as Amazon.com.
Rewe said the stores had little prospect of a profitable future, and that with a market share of just 1.4 percent in Germany, restructuring was not appropriate.
A spokesman declined to comment on whether interest had been shown in the chain, which has 70 stores. Rewe would consider the sales of stores individually or as a package, he said.
Other European electronics retailers to feel the heat from online competition include Metro AG's Media-Saturn and Darty, which is closing loss-making operations in Spain.
ProMarkt saw sales drop 15.5 percent last year. By comparison, Media-Saturn, which finally started selling products online in 2011 with the acquisition of Redcoon, reported a 4 percent rise in sales in Germany for 2012.
Metro declined to comment on Wednesday on whether it would be interested in ProMarkt.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Cedar Rapids City Council Approves Tax Break to Develop Downtown BuildingBy Rick Smith, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Renovation of the empty former Great Furniture Mart at 600 and 616 First St. SE has taken a step ahead after the City Council this week unanimously approved a developer's request for a 10-year property-tax break on the property.
In the agreement with the city approved by the council, developer Joe Ahmann says he will invest $5.3 million in the renovation of the shell of the building with an expected additional $2.7 million to be spent on tenant improvements to the building's interior. Ahmann plans to use the top two stories of the four-story building for market-rate residential condominiums and the lower two floors for commercial and office space with the basement to be used as parking. Doug Neumann, executive vice president at the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance, thanked the City Council this week for providing incentives to help bring the Great Furniture Mart building back to life. Neumann noted that the building had been vacant for a couple years before the June 2008 flood, and he said the line has been long of people pushing to demolish the century-old building. Keeping it adds commercial space and much-desired residential units in the core of the downtown, he said. Last month, Ahmann made the case for city incentives for the project by pointing out that the brick warehouse building was a "blighted" property that has sat empty and flood-damaged while the area around it, including the new federal courthouse and True North Companies transformation of the city's former library, is flourishing. "This is the last piece of the puzzle that we'd like to get put back in place," Ahmann told the council then. "This is not an easy project," he added. "If it were, something would have been done." In his agreement with the city, Ahmann has said he will complete work on the shell of the building by Dec. 31, 2014, with tenant improvements inside the building to follow. In return, Ahmann will receive 100 percent reimbursement for 10 years on the property tax he pays on the value of the improvements. The tax break is worth $1.33 million over the 10 years. He will pay property taxes on the existing value of the building during that period.

In the world of grocery store chains, bigger is better. In fact, Kroger just opened a 133,000-square-foot store in Independence, Kentucky selling everything from food to furniture.
A leather living room set is on display at the Kroger store in Newport. It's something you'd expect to find at a furniture store, but Kroger Customer Communications Specialist Jennifer Gross says it's a trend among supermarkets to offer more than just groceries.
"With larger sizes, more room, we're able to offer our customers more variety and more services, and that allows them to cross more off their list when they come into our store," Gross tells FOX19.
A bigger variety is what many shoppers want.
Mario Ford of Newport likes having everything he needs under one roof, saying, "You can just come into this Kroger, and they just have everything. That's what I love about it. It's my favorite Kroger."
Northern Kentucky University Economist Janet Harrah also believes customers want bigger stores.
"It's not just the grocery stores getting bigger. Walmart's getting bigger, Target is starting to carry food, Walgreen stores, lots of stores are branching out of their traditional roles," Harrah explained.
In this era of super-sized grocery stores, is there still a place for the small neighborhood market? Harrah thinks so, telling FOX19, "The place for mom and pops is specialty markets and niche marketing."
"To this community, and I think most communities they're very important," added Sandy Vierling, who opened the DeSales Market in East Walnut Hills just six months ago. "They've lost their small grocery stores, similar to the IGA stores, and a lot of people can't really get out to the big super stores."
Kremer's Market in Crescent Springs has developed a loyal customer base. Lisa Dieso lives nearby and likes the personal touch.
"I like coming to a small store where I know I'm getting a quality product, and I get personal attention," she explained.
Hank Geiske says he's been shopping at Kremer's for years.
"I like the people that work here. I talk to them usually in the morning when I come by," he said.
Tom Heist's grandfather started Kremer's Market in the 1930s, selling mostly produce. Since then, they've expanded to groceries and some specialty items.
Heist says what keeps them in business is the quality of their merchandise and service with a personal touch.

Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 3 votes Another Reason is it would be really difficult and messy in calculation the defences . Fire punch to Ferrothorn will do like X6 damage . Even i wondered about the same thing like a month ago but then realised how complicated the game would get . Ex. Shadow Claw ( Chost + Fighting ) Does it hit normal pokemon , does it not !! Sooo complicated . answered Jun 11, 2011 by Unidentified Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes A fairly decent answer is the that it would add too much power to small attacks thus hindering the entire defensive spectrum of the game, a fire fighting move would indefinitely hit a steel type for a free 4x damage(or maybe more than that on Ferrothorn) almost guaranteeing a knockout every time, in other words there would be no defensive pokemon anymore, and even more typing to calculate in an attack would easily make the game less enjoyable. In other words, they pick one to keep it a simple as possible. answered Jun 11, 2011 by Dumpsterknight edited Jun 11, 2011 by Dumpsterknight Please log in or register to add a comment.

With a chip on his shoulder larger than his margin of victory, Barack Obama is approaching his second term by replicating the mistake of his first. Then his overreaching involved health care — expanding the entitlement state at the expense of economic growth. Now he seeks another surge of statism, enlarging the portion of gross domestic product grasped by government and dispensed by politics. The occasion is the misnamed "fiscal cliff," the proper name for which is: the Democratic Party's agenda.
For 40 years the party's principal sources of energy and money — liberal activists, government employees unions — have advocated expanding government's domestic reach by raising taxes and contracting its foreign reach by cutting defense. Obama's four years as one of the most liberal senators and his four presidential years indicate he agrees. Like other occasionally numerate but prudently reticent liberals, he surely understands that the entitlement state he favors requires raising taxes on the cohort that has most of the nation's money — the middle class.
Mitt Romney as candidate and others before and since have suggested increasing revenues by capping income tax deductions. This would increase that tax's progressivity, without raising rates that would dampen incentives. Obama's compromise may be: Let's do both. Remember the story of when the British Admiralty sought six new battleships, the Treasury proposed four, so they compromised on eight.
Those proposing higher taxes on the wealthy note that when the income tax began in 1913, the top rate was 7 percent. But in 1917, war brought a 67 percent rate. Between 1925 and 1931, the rate was 24 percent or 25 percent, but in only five of the subsequent 80 years — 1988-92 — was the top rate lower than it is today.
Republicans, however, respond that because lower rates reduce incentives to distort economic decisions, they promote growth by enhancing efficiency. Hence restoration of the higher rates would be a giant step away from, and might effectively doom, pro-growth tax reform. Furthermore, restoration of the Clinton-era top rate of 39.6 percent would occur in the very different Obama era of regulatory excesses and Obamacare taxes. Hence Republicans rightly resist higher rates.
Given liberals' fixation with the affluent paying their "fair share," it might seem peculiar that they are so vehemently against Paul Ryan's "premium support" proposal for Medicare. Their recoil is, however, essential to the liberal project.
Ryan's supposedly radical idea is that people should shop for health insurance, with government subsidizing purchases by the less affluent. This would introduce what soon will be inevitable — means testing, aka progressivity. But liberals reject it with a word the incantation of which suffices, they think, as an argument — "voucher."
This is peculiar because perhaps the most successful federal program of the 20th century was essentially a voucher program. The purpose of the 1944 Servicemen's Readjustment Act — aka the G.I. Bill of Rights — was to facilitate demobilization by helping men and women acquire educations and buy houses — and hence form families. The government did not build universities or houses. It, in effect, gave individuals conditional cash — vouchers — by helping to pay for home loans and college tuition.
