The Vatican and 9/11: Dialogue, Cooperation Set Tone
Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
Friday, September 02, 2011
Muslim and Catholic residents meet at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society in Sterling, Va.
VATICAN CITY (CNS)—The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States horrified the pope and Vatican officials, who unequivocally condemned terrorism and offered prayers for the dead, the survivors and the rescue workers.
The attacks shook the world but did not destroy the commitment to dialogue and cooperation of Catholic and Muslim leaders in interreligious relations.
While too many people, and too many media outlets, grabbed on to cliches about Islam, Catholic and Muslim dialogue partners poured new energy into their efforts to educate their faithful about the true beliefs of each other's religion and about the fact that it is blasphemy to invoke God's name in the commission of violence.
After the attacks, Pope John Paul II immediately sent a telegram to President George W. Bush, and the pope spoke about the tragedy at his general audience the next day, saying: "Yesterday was a dark day in the history of humanity, a terrible affront to human dignity."
"Even if the forces of darkness appear to prevail," he said at the audience, "those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say. Christian hope is based on this truth; at this time our prayerful trust draws strength from it."
Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, the nuncio to Egypt who was secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue in 2001, said, "the only reference to religion in these messages was a statement of belief in the love of God, which is greater than all evil."
Two months after the attacks, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was interviewed by Vatican Radio and asked what his first reflections about 9/11 would have been. He said he might have pointed out that "religion here is being abused for other ends; it has been politicized and made a factor of power."
"On the other hand, perhaps I would have spoken more about the need to know God's human face. If we see Christ's face, our Lord who suffers for us and showed how much he loved us in dying for us, we have a vision of God that excludes all forms of violence," the cardinal answered.
As pope, he visited ground zero in New York in 2008 and recited a special prayer he wrote to mark the occasion.
He prayed, "God of peace, bring your peace to our violent world: peace in the hearts of all men and women and peace among the nations of the earth. Turn to your way of love those whose hearts and minds are consumed with hatred."
Archbishop Fitzgerald said that, in response to the terrorist attacks, the reactions of the church and of Catholic-Muslim dialogue groups, including in the United States, came out of a context of mutual knowledge and respect.
"Common declarations could not have been made if good relations had not already been established," the archbishop said.
"For Islam, peace is one of the 99 names of God, and human beings are called to be the representatives on earth of this God of peace," Archbishop Fitzgerald wrote Aug. 30 in an email response to questions from Catholic News Service.
For Catholics, he said, God is the God of peace, and he has revealed that peace most fully in Jesus.
"The same message has been repeated time and time again, whenever attacks are carried out in the name of religion. It needs to be repeated, since human beings are easily swayed by emotions, and they need to be warned against the manipulation of religion," the archbishop said.
Adnane Mokrani, a Tunisian Islamic scholar who teaches at the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies in Rome, said, "it scandalized me to hear my religion associated with terrorism" after the attacks. Osama bin Laden and his followers had turned a narrow interpretation of Islam into an "armed and violent" call for young Muslims to join a campaign against the West, he said.
"Ten years later, the complete opposite has occurred," Mokrani said. Across the Arab world, "the young are uniting to struggle—in a peaceful and civil way—against dictatorships, asking for democracy, dignity, human rights and social justice—universal values shared with the West."
"This signals the real death of bin Laden's plan; a new phase of history has begun," Mokrani wrote in an article he prepared for an Italian magazine and also gave to CNS.
Unfortunately, he said, assumptions in the West about Islam and violence linger. When a young man went on a rampage in Norway in July, killing 76 people, many media outlets initially surmised that Muslim terrorists were involved.
Archbishop Fitzgerald said Catholic-Muslim dialogue efforts, and particularly the Vatican's dialogue with Egypt's al-Azhar University, an influential center of study for Sunni Muslims, increasingly have focused on fighting the generalizations about religion that lead to prejudice.
"There is a great need for mutual respect, an objective presentation of religions in school textbooks and more accurate reporting in journalism," the archbishop said.
"Just as it needs to be repeated again and again that all Muslims are not terrorists, so it needs to be clarified that the politics of Western countries do not represent Christianity," he said. "Some progress has been made in this respect, but in interreligious relations one has always to be ready to begin all over again."

FTA: "In a further sign of impending chaos, the United Nations announced that non-essential foreign staff were being withdrawn from the country and trips outside Damascus halted."Hillary tells the Syrians not to use chemical weapons...or else. Or else, what? Then, the UN does what they do best, they run from the problem. We sure get a bang for our buck with their "peace keepers," which are as useful as a human shield is in the Middle East.

Must be from the old stocks of non-existent Iragi WMDs. Click Here if you Like this Comment
From LongWarJournal.com:"Secretary of State Clinton warned Syria that any use of chemical weapons would constitute a "red line" triggering US action."The dictator that Hilary called a "reformer" appears to be readying deadly Sarin gas to ensure that his reforms are enacted. He apparently doesn´t want AssadCare overturned by angry rebels who care more about the rich than the people of Syria. Meanwhile, Obama thinks that the "red line" is part of his upcoming inauguration speech. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
All we can do is wait and see. IMO the Assad regime itself would be willing to use gas. So would the rebels if it could help them. This is a war with nice rules.Whether the Syrian military will balk remains to be seen. Will it ever? Many of them must realize the consequences.As far as PR is concerned, I don´t automatically believe our WH about anything. Or Assad either. Or the UN. They all will lie about anything and demonstrate it daily. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Some unnamed American official claims that they´re mixing the chemicals that can be used to make sarin gas and we believe him? How does he know? Did his ouija board tell him. Looks like Hillary and pals are looking for a pretext to get more involved. Things in Syria appear to be deteriorating rapidly, we don´t need to get involved. If need be Israel will take care of the chemical weapons. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

The bad guys are not afraid of the U.S. any longer. It is worse than embarrassing to hear empty threats from Clinton or Obama. The libs will all be freaking out, having their candlelight vigils once there is a major attack. The tearful sympathetic talking points too will be empty and tragic because it could all have been prevented. Click Here if you Like this Comment
BS. We do nothing for 18 months, issue a ´red line´ warning and presto, an anonymous officials says there are indications the regime is mixing sarin gas. We still don´t know what happened in Libya to the ambassador, but we know what is happening in the midst of a civil war, at a hidden weapons site, with no presence in-country. Right. Where are the people asking about the rush to war? Click Here if you Like this Comment
I´m confused. If the obama regime is worried about Syrian gas attacks then why are NATO´s patriot anti missile batteries being deployed in the south east opposite Kurdish areas, you know, the Kurds that Turkey would like to eliminate, the Kurds that Saddam Hussain gassed with sarin. Why would Assad be considering using sarin with the complete backing of Russia, China and Iran. Russia has boots on the ground as well as their major naval port for the med.

BS... Obama & Hitlery are salivating for WW3. I just don´t see how they think they can beat the Anti-NWO Alliance of Russia, China, India & a boatload of smaller nations.Do they really think NATO & The Muslim Brotherhood can win against them? I´d guess no and what they are looking forward to is mass chaos.McCain... You & other congress critters better do all in human power to protect & save our military folks...

Your shopping cart is empty.
Want to do something for God but don't know what? Want to help others but don't know who? Want to know what it is you're really good at doing? Your gifts may feel small and insignificant. But God can use them to work a miracle!
Inspired by the biblical story of the feeding of the 5,000, Live to Give delivers a message of hope that we all have something to give. Written in the down-to-earth, candid voice of the gifted young man who as a kid founded a relief ministry that has saved and improved countless lives in Africa, Live to Give is the message that every teen needs to hear: You are more special than you know, and you can do big things.
Jesus proved that no gift is too small when He used five loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of thousands. And if no gift is too small, too ordinary, or too random, there is no limit to what the youth of today can accomplish!
A teenage philanthropist who has built a high school, two medical clinics, and a dormitory in Africa—all before the age of 16—Austin Gutwein shares how to take what may seem like the simplest of talents, gifts, and interests and use them for something Jesus can use to move mountains.

Tilly Mill Rd/N Peachtree Rd Intersection Improvements
In early 2011 the City adopted a Comprehensive Transportation Plan to guide future investment in transportation improvements. Development of the plan included an analysis of existing and future traffic conditions throughout the City. This traffic analysis indicated that the North Peachtree/Tilly Mill and Peeler intersections currently operate at an unacceptable level of service particularly during the peak of the morning commute. The transportation plan recommended an intersection improvement project to relieve congestion and improve safety. The project was identified as a high priority for the City based on public input during development of the transportation plan.
In the fall of 2011, the City's design consultant for the project conducted traffic counts and provided a more detailed study of the traffic at the intersection. This study indicated that in the design year of 2035 the traffic conditions during the peak of the afternoon commute will deteriorate significantly without improvements to the intersection. An analysis of the crash history also found that:
The accident rate on Tilly Mill is above the state average.
Approximately 65 percent of the total number of crashes at the Tilly Mill and North Peachtree intersection were rear-end type crashes, which are likely a result from congestion and insufficient storage lengths at the intersection.
Approximately 42 percent of the total number of crashes at Peeler and North Peachtree were angle type, which likely were caused from vehicles entering the intersection from the unsignalized approach on Peeler Road when there was not an appropriate gap in traffic on North Peachtree Road
Project Goals
1. Relieve traffic congestion at the intersection.
2. Improve safety.
3. Provide better accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists.
4. Enhance the appearance of the intersection through the use of mast arm signals and landscaping.
Project Schedule
The City is currently working on preliminary design concepts and anticipates beginning final design in 2012. The construction has not been budgeted and therefore could not begin until late 2013 at the earliest.

text: AI has previously called on the UAE government [press release] to release these "prisoners of conscience" in compliance with international law. Last November, the UAE Federal Supreme Court sentenced five of the nine activists to prison [JURIST report] for participating in a campaign seeking political liberties. All five were charged under § 176 of the UAE Penal Code for publicly insulting UAE president Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed [official website] and other government officials, and were arrested in April 2011 after signing an online petition demanding political reforms. HRW has also been critical of the UAE for its recent treatment of political activists, and called for the trial's end [JURIST report] in July 2011 along with other rights groups. Additionally, HRW criticized UAE officials [press release] in April 2011 for their arrest of a political blogger, and also urged international public institutions [press release] in the country to condemn the government's detention of other rights activists.

And the title of this blog is not a pair of words that I ordinarily use together!
This wonderful poem was sent to me by a woman whom I know from Revolution Health days. Her note and the accompanying poem are self-explanatory.
This was written by a friend from Illinois and submitted to our local Icon festival which is taking place this week. This woman has undergone multiple chemo sessions and a stem cell transplant...She asked me to read it for her at our public reading...I will read mine entitled Requiem 9/11 which was written after the Durango Choral Society sang the Mozart Requiem at Carnegie Hall but I'm not sure I can make it through this one because of the sorrow of her experience, yet there is an element of hope that may make it possible. I have someone else in the wings should I decide against it. Last year's winning poem was also based on Chemotherapy and it would not surprise me one bit if this one wins this year... Anyway, I'm sure you may share this with anyone else who may appreciate it...
The Summer of the Coneflowers
The summer of the coneflowers--
The summer of chemotherapy--
The summer of the coneflowers won.
The prairie hill covered with purple coneflowers,
Cascading purple, shouting purple, waving purple.
Grandkids hide in the long prairie grasses,
Their heads crowned with coneflowers,
Along with black-eyed susans, yellow coreopsis, rosinweed.
They touch the coneflower's rough center and marvel that it's "spiky;"
They savor the rich purple, the softness of the petals.
Climbing through the long wet morning prairie grasses,
They reach the hill top, survey the town below
As if it were a kingdom.
They sit on the ground to sketch,
They are one with the prairie.
Free from the hospital, I breathe deeply.
The sun crowns my hairless head.
The moment is now; the kingdom is here,
I have come to worship; I have come to praise.

Dr. Glen Johnson Named Veterinarian of the Year
The Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association (WVMA) awarded Dr. Glen Johnson, of Reedsburg, the WVMA Veterinarian of the Year Award at its 97th Annual Convention on Friday, Oct. 12.
Colleague and friend, Dr. Dave Rhoda, Evansville, presented the prestigious award.
Dr. Rhoda describes Dr. Johnson as committed, practical, logical, and passionate.
"I met Glen through his work with the WVMA and was impressed with his commitment to continuing education, to advancing the image and professionalism of the veterinary profession, and his quiet demeanor which was always focused on reaching solutions for difficult issues," states Dr. Rhoda.
Dr. Johnson graduated from Michigan State in 1976. He currently practices at Reedsburg Veterinary Clinic as a large animal practitioner.
While being involved in the WVMA, Dr. Johnson has served on the Residue Task Force, Best Practices Committee, Dairy Welfare Subcommittee, and VE Rules Subcommittee.
"Our recipient has served ably on all the most difficult, complex, and controversial issues that face food animal medicine," says Dr. Rhoda. "These include animal welfare, judicious use of drugs in food animals, and how to supply compassionate care of animals that are contributing to society as a food supply."
"His service to the profession has been diverse and time consuming, which is everyone's most treasured resource. Glen also has volunteered his time and expertise with UW students by serving the UW School of Veterinary Medicine through the years in sharing his work with the dairy production medicine dairy comp students and the dairy science department milk quality programs," Dr. Rhoda adds.
Most recently, Dr. Johnson served as the District 5 Director of the Association of American Bovine Practitioners, representing Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana.

Listen to Toby Keith on iHeartRadio
Toby Keith says he's praying for his hometown of Moore, Oklahoma where a powerful tornado struck Monday. The country star explains that members of his family were in the tornado's path.
CLICK HERE to learn how you can help the victims
Keith adds that while the storm has been devastating, he's confident the community will recover from the tragedy. He says Oklahomans are resilient and will rebuild.
Keith isn't alone in feeling the devastation for his home state. Carrie Underwood, from Muskogee, Oklahoma, has expressed her concern about the natural disaster as well.
Reba McEntire, who was born and raised in Southeastern Oklahoma, tweets:
Many country stars have been sending their prayers and words of encouragement via social media. Blake Shelton says prior to Monday's edition of "The Voice" he was getting inundated with messages about the deadly tornado that was ripping through his home state of Oklahoma. At the start of the NBC show, the country singer admitted it was tough for him to be there while friends and family members were "going through hell."
Shelton's Texas-born wife Miranda Lambert, who is now an Oklahoma resident, tweets:
Team Blake's Swon Brothers, who are from Muskogee, said it was "hard to enjoy a night like this," and a storm like that "lets you know what's really important." They added that they were praying for everybody back home.
Chris Young and Darius Rucker, have also let victims know they are in their thoughts and prayers.

This morning the judge dismissed the theft charges against all of the football players.
Investigators said the players had tried to steal a cooler of beer from the back of a man's truck in September.
They say the man, Wayne Parton, fired a gun at the players. No one was injured
One of the players, Tavious Banks, spoke to News 13 after court this morning, "oh, a relief I can go on with my life. I just graduated and I had this hanging over my head and I'm just glad it's over."
Parton, Who is facing felony charges for the shooting, did not show up at court today.
That's why the judge dismissed the charges against the students.

Women, Infants & Children
WIC is the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children. WIC provides supplemental, nutritious foods for low to moderate income pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women; and infants and children from birth to the age of five who are at nutritional risk. These foods are rich in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. These are key nutrients commonly lacking in the diets of the WIC targeted population.
Breastfeeding promotion and support are integral parts of the WIC program. Our agency has trained personnel who are ready to assist mothers in making informed decisions about infant feeding choice and in instructing them in the basics of breastfeeding.
Participants in the WIC program must meet the following criteria:
They must be a resident of Florida or receive health care in Florida. Undocumented immigrants are eligible to apply as long as they reside in this state.
They must be at nutrition risk. The assessment of nutrition risk is made by a nutritionist or other health professional, usually at the local WIC office at no cost to the participant.
They must be income eligible. The family's income must not exceed 185% of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines. A person currently receiving Medicaid, Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA), or Food Stamps automatically meets the income eligibility requirement regardless of actual gross income.
Am I Eligible?
The WIC Prescreening Tool can be used to determine if you may be eligible for WIC benefits. This Prescreening Tool is not an application for WIC. To apply for WIC benefits, you must make an appointment at your WIC local agency. Check to see if you may be eligible for WIC benefits by using the WIC Prescreening Tool.

A result of dwindling attendance, Quincy Library Group members received an email Aug. 23 imploring them to show up for upcoming meetings.
"We hope to see you at a future meeting so that we can remain as a viable community collaborative group and provide comment and discussion on future work," member Bill Wickman wrote.
Attendance at the Aug. 22 meeting was particularly scant, but that could at least partially be attributed to the fires in Indian Valley, home to several of the group's members.
But the drop could also be blamed on simple burnout — the group formed two decades ago —and the fact that the legislation that funded the QLG vision of forest management has ended.
Congress did not renew the Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group Forest Recovery Act, which called for the creation of defensible fuel profile zones.
Even though the act has terminated, the group hopes the work will continue.
That will be true for at least the next couple of years because many of the timber harvest projects developed under the Quincy Library Group model are in the Forest Service pipeline.
"Some of the basic ideas of the QLG proposal, at least locally, are fairly well-imbedded in the process," said George Terhune, a library group member, at the end of June, following yet another meeting when members struggled with plans for the future.
A flurry of emails preceded that meeting, as members discussed whether the effort should continue beyond the two-decade mark.
At that meeting, attended by cofounders Bill Coates and Michael Jackson, the consensus seemed to be "yes."
"It refocused us all a little bit," Coates said. "We looked at what had been accomplished and what could still be done."
It appears that the discussion will continue at the next meeting of the Quincy Library Group, which is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 26, at 9 a.m. in the Quincy library meeting room.
The two remaining meetings for the year are scheduled for Oct. 24 and Dec. 11 (the November and December meetings were combined due to the holidays).

Company Profile
Vision: To Deliver Mobility to Wheelchair Users through Advanced Technology Robotics
Rex Bionics Ltd is the global technology leader in robotic exoskeletons (Rex). Uniquely Rex provides independent mobility to wheelchair users and other mobility impaired persons using advanced robotic technology, custom-designed electromechanical actuators, precision engineering, and specialised networking systems.
The device is designed to enable its users to stand, walk, scale stairs and navigate slopes.
Rex Bionics' innovation in robotics provides extensive and varied benefits to Rex users who have a unique combination of lifestyle and medical needs. There is extensive public data available which emphasises the health benefits for a person standing and walking.
The demographics are well known: the significant majority of mobility impairments are the result of degenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However there are a large number of spinal cord injuries (SCI) - for example in the USA alone there are some 12,000 SCI injuries each year and a total SCI population of 750,000 in the USA. Of these 75% are male, under 65 and capable of using Rex.
Wheelchair users can suffer from multiple health issues arising from lack of mobility and the secondary complications of wheelchair use: urinary tract, bowel, cardiovascular, metabolic and skin related problems allied to psychological conditions all contribute to significant morbidity, care costs and increased mortality.
There are multiple Rex devices designed for different needs. The use of Rex in rehabilitation centres enables medical providers and clinicians to provide extensive benefits in mobility, whereas the Rex user at home is able to perform tasks and functions previously unavailable.
Research centres and universities are using Rex to better understand the comprehensive and complex world of robotics technology to enhance the lives of people.
The original design and prototype for Rex emphasised the importance of working closely with potential users. The machine evolved joint by joint, building first the knee, actuating the knee, then controlling the knee, then the ankle. Each joint uses complex geometry and precisely orchestrated actuators; the exoskeleton's "bones" swivel around virtual pivots.
The key differentiator of Rex is the fact that it has been designed from the outset to provide mobility to non ambulatory wheelchair users rather than as a means to enable otherwise fit individuals to lift supra-physiological loads, enhance endurance or aid mobility of those able to walk with crutches.
The original robotic exoskeleton concept was designed from 2003 with the first prototype finalised in 2007, formally launched in 2010 and commercially available for purchase in 2011.
Today there are two primary Rex devices available, an adjustable Rex "Rehab Rex" for use in rehabilitations centres and Rex, a streamlined, fit-for-purpose made for each individual's specific medical and physical requirements.
Founded in New Zealand Rex Bionics is a rapidly growing, exciting innovative organisation which is proud to provide advanced robotics technology to people everywhere.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) -- An Eau Claire man is in custody following a fatal fight at an apartment building.
Police say 17-year-old Bobbie Vue was fatally stabbed during a fight early Sunday. A 911 caller told police there was a large fight going in in the hallway of the building. Officers arrived and found five people injured, including Vue who had been stabbed.
Lt. Jim Southworth tells WEAU-TV (http://tinyurl.com/8qwq988 ) weapons in the brawl included a knife, rocks and wooden objects. Police are holding a man who hosted a party in the apartment building in Vue's death.
The remaining four who were injured were treated at a local hospital and released.

HP's solution to the death of print media: Buy more ink
HP today announced a partnership with Conde Nast that will deliver a handful of its most popular magazines (Allure, Details, Epicurious, Wired, Self, Golf Digest, etc.) to your home. Well, more specifically to your printer.
The press release shapes it as a "new digital content distribution medium that merges rich content and digital-to-print service," which really just means that readers can schedule automatic digital content delivery straight to HP's Web-connected printers, which will then use lots of ink to print out excerpts from magazines...in full color. This is the content solution that will save the print industry? Check your calendars; it's not April.… Read more

CNET Editors' Take
September 8, 2013 7:13 PM PDT
Announced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Dacor's 30-inch Discovery IQ wall ovens sit at the top of the smart appliances I've seen so far, at least in terms of price. At $4,299 for the single oven model, $7,299 for the double kit, this product line is definitively aimed at wealthy cooking enthusiasts. What might it be like to cook as (for?) a member of the connected one percent?
To start, the Discovery IQ essentially includes a built-in Android tablet, which Dacor calls the IQ Controller for Android. Where a connected oven from LG includes a few basic recipe and temperature control functions, Dacor includes oven-specific software, and also access to the full range of apps from the Google Play store. That not only opens the door to oven-based Candy Crush, but it also puts a vast library of entertainment and informational software in a convenient place in your kitchen.
Among Dacor's oven specific apps, you'll find a guided cooking program that hosts recipes, displays cooking videos, and transmits cooking instructions to the oven. It can also pull down software updates and diagnose problems automatically.
Dacor hasn't overwhelmed its competitors in all aspects here. GE's Profile convection wall oven,is unique in letting owners turn the oven on remotely via a smartphone application, convenient for preheating. The GE oven doesn't have any other smart capabilities, but that one seems practical.
LG cited manufacturer liability as the reason for leaving remote preheating off of its smart oven. Dacor, with no smartphone companion app, doesn't seem to have given much merit to any remote control functions. Either position is defensible, but I imagine a well-to-do buyer might bristle a bit, knowing Dacor's oven could have been even smarter.
Other than that one feature, this will still be the most fully-featured smart oven when it hits the market later this year. Its core oven features, 4.8 foot cooking capacity, convection cooking, steam cleaning capability, all give it the appropriate high-end cooking pedigree. We hope to review it once Dacor has a unit to send our way.

Funny how neighboring news stories can so clearly expose our priorities. Recently the news was relief on the sports page concerning the restoration of veteran officials to NFL games and frustration on the news page because state law makes it difficult to hire inexperienced Teach for America (TFA) volunteers.
As football fans celebrated the exit of unqualified replacements, the state's Board of Education members were bemoaning their inability to hire some.
It's likely that most newspaper readers are at least vaguely familiar Teach for America. Wendy Kopp came up with the idea in her senior thesis at Princeton in 1989 and was successful in raising millions of dollars from corporate reformers to get it off the ground. TFA recruits new college graduates who lack teaching credentials, provides them with a five-week training session, then offers them to states as "non-traditional" teachers.
To be eligible for TFA, a graduate need only hold a bachelor's degree (the field is irrelevant), be an American citizen, and have a grade point average of 2.5 on a 4-point scale -- in other words, a C average. The TFA website also advises applicants that they may be required to pass a content-knowledge exam or have completed certain courses "related to the subject they will teach." I can find no requirement that TFA volunteers hold degrees in the fields in which they teach.
It appears it is this latter element that has state Board of Education members in a collective snit. During the most recent legislative session, two bills were passed that reduced requirements for those who want to become teachers (HB 4010 and HB 4122). Both focus on permitting alternative licensing of individuals who wish to teach, as long as their bachelors' degrees are in subject areas that are the same as the subjects they hope to teach.
That expectation, however, is apparently too much for the board. That an individual who majored in chemistry in college would be permitted to teach only chemistry (as opposed to, oh, English or history) is viewed as unfairly "pigeonholing" the would-be educator. Or as the Gazette reporter who wrote the story observed, "Someone who majored in math but wants to teach English would be out of luck."
The executive director of the Appalachia branch of Teach for America, Will Nash, confirmed that perspective. Complaining that "the current legislation [in West Virginia] makes for a difficult climate to get new teachers to the state," he expressed hope that the legislation could be amended to "open opportunities for the diversity of our candidates (like those candidates who might not possess a BA/BS in a specific discipline, but have the requisite knowledge to teach that subject area as proven by passage of a content knowledge test like the PRAXIS)."
That this is viewed as an unwarranted and burdensome requirement is baffling. Isn't the entire point of having a profession the fact that its practitioners are held to certain standards in their preparation and job performance? Or do you really want your neurosurgeon to be a former airline pilot who passed a content test in neurology?

Deployed dad calls son, son gets suspended
A Texas sergeant and his son recently found themselves separated not only by an eight-hour time difference, several bodies of water, hundreds of miles and a war, but by a high school official who suspended the boy for answering his dad's call during class.
Cove High School in Texas, where half the students have at least one parent deployed, justified the punishment against Brandon Hill by saying he had violated the no-cell-phone policy when he took the call from his father, who is serving in Iraq.
"I have been going through a lot of stress lately and my dads like my best friend, so I go to him for everything," the sophomore told FOX News on Saturday.
"I needed to talk to him, so my mom got a hold of him on Yahoo and told him to call me, so I answered the phone call in class."

When he learned of his sons punishment, Master Sgt. Morris Hill said he was unsettled.
"When my wife told me, I was pretty disturbed by it," he said in a phone call from Iraq.
"I was pretty shocked, considering that several months before we left I had talked to the assistant principal and thought everything was fine," Morris Hill said.
"Since my kids been going to the school weve had a pretty good working relationship."
And when his mother, Patricia Hill, tried to contact school officials, she received no response until her sons story garnered media attention.
The matter has since been resolved, Patricia Hill said, but she added that more must be done to protect children around the country from being punished in similar circumstances.He who has the money, signs the cheques.

500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are.

First -- I have nothing but respect for the dad here. He's doing his best to take care of his son and serving our country.
Second -- I do think the school over-reacted. This wasn't a case of a kid calling his girlfriend or even a parent calling a kid that they're going to see tonight.
BUT -- I also think the kid was in the wrong. PDawg has one approach where it could have been handled better. I don't know what the call set up where his dad is in Iraq is like; I've been told that in some places, making calls home is pretty easy -- and in others, it's all but impossible. At a minimum, there's an obvious time difference. But the school can't just automatically say "a call from a deployed parent is OK" but other calls aren't, either, especially with such a large population of students whose parents serve.
I don't see a real easy solution; a lot, I think, depends on just why the kid had such a need to talk to his dad. I also don't know how much of a disruption the call was to the class; that would be an issue to me. The adminstrators should have investigated, and made an appropriate determination and set punishment, if any, in light of the investigation's results.
But -- no matter what, the adminstrators absolutely should have been explaining this to the mother, without any media involvement. THAT is a given... you suspend a kid, their parents get to know why!
One final thought... Some folks are figuring that the father's service in Iraq is an automatic exception from the rules. After all, he could be killed over there. So... what about a kid who's dad is a cop? Should that kid get an exception? Or a firefighter's kid? How about someone who's dad is a stop & rob clerk? What sort of risk makes an automatic exception? Does it involve how far away? If so -- what about a kid whose dad is simply on a ship cruising in the South Pacific? Or on an unattached tour somewhere in Europe? Or who's dad isn't in the service at all -- but his company's business has him out of the USA?Voting against incumbents until we get a Congress that does its job.

What sort of risk makes an automatic exception? Does it involve how far away?
Extended time away from the family is enough justification for me, without even getting into the danger factor.

I know rules are rules but that administrator needs to either have some leniency or go away. (to Iraq or 'Stan). I would tell him that if he didn't feel that he could lend some support to the troops here that he can damned sure stand in front of them and wait and see what happens next.

I don't think you comprehend the difficulty of getting to make a phone call alot of times, nor many other factors such as time change, the father's work schedule etc etc. Even if he did explicitly realize that he was calling during school hours, he may not have had a chance to call some other time. It's not like your cell phone has great reception over there.
And also, if I got a email telling me that my son needed to talk to me, I, like my dad, would make damn sure to return it as soon as i could, regardless of what he was doing. Unless I was expressly told it was not urgent.He who has the money, signs the cheques.

If I was the son I would take that call, anytime, anywhere, regardless of the suspension. If they suspended me then so be it. Screw them. No one would keep me away from my family, especially in this situation. This is a deployed soldier we are talking about who, like 213th says, can't always pick and choose when he can use a phone.

I have a big problem with that. I don't care if I was a teacher with a strict cell phone policy, if a parent in Iraq called one of my students, I'd let them answer with no penalties every time...

I'm a former Navy brat - pre-cell phone/e-mail days, so I do know.
I also worked in the local school district when the war broke out, so I saw the many things teachers do to help students deal with deployments.
I look at this story like I would a story about an officer being accused of something - there's always more to the story, and it's not fair to judge people based on "headlines."
I think that if the student had told his teacher that he was hoping to get a call from his dad, allowances may have been made. Or, if the mother had told the teacher that her son was having some problems and really needed to talk to his dad, and dad was going to call. All it takes is a note from a counselor, and you're good to go.
What I suspect (having worked in that unique environment) is the parent of a student who was suspended for cell phone use previously complained when he didn't get suspended.Molly Weasley makes Chuck Norris eat his vegetables.

This makes me sick.
Rules are rules but dang, that is ridiculous. I don't know much about it but I imagine that it's not just anytime that a serviceman can pick up a phone over there. Zero tolerance is not for all situations, there are (or should be) exceptions to almost every rule.

Ghanaians are choosing who will run one of Africa's most stable democracies as a surge in oil revenues promises to boost development and economic growth.
Ghana has had five elections since military rule ended in 1992, but the stakes are seen as higher than ever in Friday's vote, as commercial oil production that began in 2010 is set to expand.
President John Dramani Mahama, 54, of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), only took power in July, when his predecessor John Atta Mills died following an illness.
The names of six minor candidates also appear on the presidential ballot and could help force a runoff second-round vote.'Mutual loathing'
His challenger, 68-year-old Nana Akufo-Addo of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), lost by less than one percentage point in 2008, and insists he is poised to reverse that narrow defeat.
Voters will also be electing a new 275-seat parliament in Friday's vote.
The NDC won a narrow edge in seats over the NPP in the 2008 vote.
Analysts say that as Ghana's democracy has deepened, the rivalry between the ruling NDC and challenger NPP has also intensified.
"Mutual loathing may be a good way to describe how the parties view each other," said Emmanuel Gyimah-Boadi, a political science professor at the University of Ghana.
"Both parties have tasted power. They know what comes with power. If you capture the presidency, you control all the machinery of the state and unlike the past, we now have oil. The state coffers will be brimming."
One of the world's newest oil producers, Ghana is also a top exporter of cocoa and gold, with economic growth of 14 per cent in 2011. Eight per cent growth is expected for 2012 and 2013, according to the World Bank.

Board Releases Draft Interagency Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Basel IA
December 5, 2006
Circular No. 11826 | |
To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned The Federal Reserve Board has released a draft interagency notice of proposed rulemaking that would revise the existing risk-based capital framework by giving the vast majority of banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations the option of either continuing to use the existing Basel I-based capital rule or adopting a more risk sensitive rule, known as Basel IA. However, as proposed, Basel IA would not be available to large, complex international banking organizations subject to the proposed Basel II advanced capital framework. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) also are considering the notice of proposed rulemaking. The Board authorized the staff to publish the notice in the Federal Register for public comment after the other agencies complete their approval processes. For the OCC and OTS, that includes review by the Office of Management and Budget, which may result in changes to the notice of proposed rulemaking. Read the press release and Board's notice below for complete details. Press release Public Information

Exercising More Might Just Fatten Your Wallet
New research shows that working up a sweat could benefit your bottom and your bottom line.
Special Offers
After studying the effects of exercise on more than 2,500 pairs of twins, Finnish researchers found that the individuals who worked out regularly earned more money than their sedentary sibs. One possible reason for this: "Physically active people may also be more persistent; they persevere in the face of work-related tasks and hurdles," says study coauthor Ari Hyytinen, Ph.D. It can "increase their desire to partake in competitive situations," according to the study.
Those are the qualities that also help you nab a corner office and the fat paycheck that comes with it. To make sure you fit in your sweat session, exercise in the morning, before you hit your desk. Studies show that working out in the a.m. boosts your metabolism, helps you feel more mentally alert all day, and makes it easier to achieve long-term fitness and weight loss results.

Nets fall to Spurs, 104-73, end year on sour note
The Nets missed 12 shots between Williams' baskets, including four attempts within six feet.
"We played great defense in the third quarter," Parker said. "We tried to make an effort defensively and coach (Gregg) Popovich has been talking a lot about that and it has been a huge improvement for us the last two games. Defense has been great and we are on the right track."
While Brooklyn was struggling, San Antonio had 11 assists in the quarter while going 13 of 19 from the field.
Parker sparked the run by feeding Duncan for a 6-foot jumper and Splitter for a reverse layup on the Spurs' opening possessions of the third.
"I thought Tony set the tone for us," Popovich said. "I thought he was a monster [Monday]. Offensively aggressive; defensively, really focused, really committed. I thought he was fantastic and everybody followed suit."
San Antonio is 18-1 this season when they have led after the third period and went 9-0 at home in December.
The Spurs went on a 12-4 run late in the first behind the speed of their backcourt. Parker fed Splitter for a dunk and Boris Diaw for an uncontested layup after drawing the defense on consecutive drives. Ginobili scored a pair of layups, including one after he stepped in front of a pass.
Coupled with their 111-86 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, San Antonio has now swept six back-to-back games this season and is 11-5 in those contests.
The Spurs hit the road for back-to-back games at Milwaukee on Wednesday and Thursday at the Knicks.
The lopsided third quarter allowed San Antonio to limit its minutes Monday night. No Spurs players put in more than 26 minutes.

Cases: School Choice
School Choice
"In courtrooms across the country, school choice programs are under assault-a single law firm, the Institute for Justice, has found itself defending parents in choice cases before five different state supreme courts."
—Wall Street Journal
Since 1990, school choice advocates have secured a long string of major policy and legal victories. From groundbreaking decisions in the Wisconsin, Ohio and Arizona Supreme Courts—followed by victory before the U.S. Supreme Court—to new choice programs in Florida and the District of Columbia, the demand for educational freedom is spreading nationwide.
The Institute for Justice continues the battle for school choice in the courtroom and the court of public opinion.

McCann out of global HSBC pitch
McCann Erickson is out of the pitch for HSBC's £400m global advertising business, which it said was due to pitching for another unnamed global bank.
HSBC: bugs by JWT London
The agency was one of five shortlisted by HSBC, along with BBDO, Grey, Saatchi & Saatchi and the incumbent, JWT.
Sources close to HSBC claimed the agency was asked to drop out because of recent changes to its management team.
It leaves McCann parent company IPG without a role in the contest, which is now between the two WPP shops, Omnicom and Publicis Groupe.
A McCann spokesperson said: "It was a mutual agreement with HSBC that we decided to pull out of the pitch. We're in a pitch with another global bank."
The spokesperson denied the decision was related to IPG's replacement of McCann Worldgroup chief executive Nick Brien with Harris Diamond last week.
The bank is this week reported to be in talks about selling its 15.6% stake in China's second-biggest insurer, Ping An.

There are quite a number of important ones: 1. DoD should be a showcase in implementing our 'Transforming Government" panel recommendations. Not only could that significantly improve the logistics and operations of DoD, but it could result in efficiencies that would permit investment in other major opportunities. 2. The increasing ability to gather and analyze information can result in a far more "intelligent" armed forces at all levels: - Far more empowered individual warfighters - More effective weapons systems - More accurate and timely information gathering (classic intelligence operations) 3. The increasing reliance of the country on a sophisticated IT infrastructure requires a much more resilient, "self healing", flexible infrastructure, especially against cyberattacks coming from small groups around the world. 4. DoD should leverage IT based learning and training technologies and methords to have the best prepared, flexible armed forces in the world. These are just some of the major issues involving IT and national security. I am sure there are others, perhaps of higher priority that we will uncover as our panel starts operations. There have been a number of recent studies and recommendations in these areas that we need to understand and leverage in our panel. Given the breadth of the area, our biggest challenge will likely be to prioritize and narrow down our recommendations, especially focusing on those where PITAC can have an influence and add value.
