Head Start:
Comprehensive Approach to Identifying and Addressing Risks Could Help Prevent Grantee Financial Management Weaknesses
GAO-05-473T: Published: Apr 5, 2005. Publicly Released: Apr 5, 2005.

Office of Public Affairs

In fiscal year 2004, the Congress appropriated $6.8 billion to serve 919,000 poor children through 1,680 Head Start grantees nationwide. Recent reports of financial improprieties at a number of Head Start programs around the country raised questions about the effectiveness of the oversight provided by the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in identifying and resolving financial management weaknesses in Head Start grantees. This testimony discusses (1) the processes ACF uses to assess the programs' risks, (2) whether those processes could be improved to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information ACF collects on its Head Start grantees, and (3) whether ACF ensures that grantees with financial management weaknesses correct those problems in a timely manner.
ACF has not developed a comprehensive risk assessment system to identify financial management weaknesses of Head Start grantees. ACF has many processes it uses to collect information on how well grantees are performing and managing their federal grant funds. But different organizations within ACF conduct these activities, and we could not identify a systematic process that ACF uses to bring together information gained from the different data collection processes. Moreover, when we looked more closely at each of the processes ACF uses to oversee Head Start grantees, we identified flaws that limit the quality, accuracy, and reliability of the information ACF collects. ACF does not ensure that its on-site reviews are conducted in accordance with its own guidelines for grantee compliance; it does not verify the accuracy of the data grantees submit on key performance indicators each year; and it does not reconcile grantees' actual withdrawals with reported expenditures until all the funds have been spent. In addition, many of the staff we spoke with said that they often learn about problems after they get calls from parents and teachers--an ad-hoc, reactive approach on which ACF relies too heavily instead of comprehensive, proactive risk assessment. Our analysis of the data shows that more than half the grantees cited for failure to comply with rules related to financial management were out of compliance again with one or more financial management standards during their next review. We also found poor linkages between grantee performance and funding. ACF rarely invokes its authority to terminate grantees when a community is being served by a poorly-performing grantee. Instead, ACF usually tries to convince a grantee to relinquish its grant, and only then will look for another grantee to serve that community. Opening competition to qualified applicants to replace a poorly-performing grantee may be a necessary step toward ensuring that as many eligible children as possible are provided with services that meet Head Start's standards. A comprehensive risk assessment system would provide ACF with the information it needs to target its oversight more effectively, reduce the risks inherent in managing a large federal grant program, and help grantees manage resources more effectively.

Working Through an Injury!
Over the next week, I plan to file some blogs on how I am working through a bothersome little sports injury called Achilles tendonitis. I have picked it up from my time as a basketball referee. Obviously, I need to deal with it in an effective and prompt manner if I don't want it to become a full-blown, chronic problem such as a ruptured Achilles tendon. I have rested it for the past couple of days and will test out a heel pad for my left shoe when I take the court tomorrow afternoon. If that doesn't correct the problem of overpronating as I run up and down the court, I'll visit my doctor for some advice. Stay tuned for more updates.

Tallahassee- Flowers Foods is footing the bill for all eighth-graders in Thomasville to visit the Challenger Learning Center in Tallahassee.
They're only eighth graders, but these students take their mission at the Challenger Learning Center just like professional NASA crews. "It was just a really good learning experience for us," says Central Middle School 8th Grader Angela Sykes.
It's an out of this world, and out-of-the-classroom experience, designed to give these kids some down to earth know-how in mission control, and a spacecraft simulator. "It definitely isn't something you get to do everyday. When you get to come down here and actually participate in the mission, it's very hands on," says Sykes.
But it did take a lot of classroom training to prepare them for the trip to Tallahassee. "In one room, we studied eclipses. In another room we played 'Battleship' to get ready for coordinates," says Sykes.
Once the technical emergency scenarios were taken care of, the mission was successful and the students were brought back to earth with kudos and knowledge.
Not only are the students assigned a mission, they also get a full day of classroom activities, a visit to the center's IMAX theatre, and its planetarium.

The Good Dez: PFF slant route ranking is 3rd (and Romo #2 QB on the route)
Not all that surprising given his size, athleticism and wing-span, but Dez Bryant is ranked #3 in slant route completion %, with a rate of 76% Also not surprising who was #1 - Megatron at 83% Romo ranked the #2 QB in YPA in throwing slants, behind only Rogers. Rogers had a much better TD to INT ratio though. What surprised me somewhat that he only threw 44 slant attempts (completing 75%) - only just over 8% of attempts or 1 of 12. And half went to Dez.

Ashburn, VA (Sports Network) - The Washington Redskins made a surprise move on Tuesday in order to get down to the league-mandated 75-man roster, terminating the contract of right tackle Jeremy Trueblood.
Washington had signed the Boston College product back in March, after appearing in nine games with just one start for Tampa Bay a season ago.
He had been selected by the Buccaneers in the second round of the 2006 draft, and appeared in 101 regular season games with the franchise, including 84 starts.
The Redskins also placed linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy and cornerback Ryan Mouton on the waived/injured list, waived offensive lineman Jacolby Ashworth with an injury settlement and moved defensive end Adam Carriker to the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
Carriker, who was placed on the active PUP list in late July in the wake of a third surgery on a torn right quadriceps suffered early last season, may also be lost for the 2013 campaign as he rehabilitates.

Antwane Burrise of Stockton, California, a convicted felon on searchable probation, found out the hard way that there are some things you just don't want cops to find in your possession when you're passed-out drunk behind the wheel of your car with the engine running. A fully loaded AK-47, for example.
According to court documents filed last week, police responded to a call about a man, allegedly Burrise, passed out behind the wheel of a Mercedes CLS500, presumably his, with the engine running. Police reportedly found the driver unresponsive and intoxicated. So much so, that when they opened the car door, he fell out of the car, revealing a handgun on the floor near where his feet had been. So they searched the car, and found ten things you really don't want to have in your car under such circumstances.
Burrise was arrested and faces charges in San Joachin County, as well as Federal charges for — you guessed it — mail fraud.
Arguably, it could have been worse; he could have been carrying human slaves, explosives or bio terror agents. Given his previous conviction, however, it doesn't look good for Burrise.

text: This years class feels different. I guess it might be the new coaches or maybe its due to this being a very large class. We appear to be taking guys that we may not have in years past. I remember reading articles by Bud where he breaks down the number of 4 and 5 stars by the total class size. This year we hav eight 4 stars by rivals and 23 total commits. This is less than 32%. In prior years this would not be considered a good ratio. I know we are not done yet, but the rest of this class needs no less than 4 more 4 or 5 star recruits for this to be a top 5 class. I have faith in Jimbos ability to evaluate talent, but this class seems different.

Bulls Say
Smucker's strong market shares in coffee, peanut butter, and fruit spreads give the company a solid negotiating position with customers, as retailers have a strong incentive to stock Smucker products to increase traffic.
Improved employment and confidence could prompt consumers to trade up to name brands, allowing Smucker to generate higher volumes, charge higher prices, and increase profits.
If Smucker can hold a portion of previously enacted price increases while cost inflation moderates, margin expansion could be greater than we currently anticipate (250 bps in fiscal 2014).
Read more
Bears Say
Retail industry consolidation gives big-box retailers more buying power to negotiate lower prices, to the detriment of food suppliers.
A weak economic environment in the U.S. could continue for several years, prompting more cost-conscious consumers to trade down to lower-priced private-label products.
A spike in commodity cost inflation during a period of high unemployment could result in an unfavorable combination of lower sales prices, lower volume, and margin contraction.

New York Live Arts to Present YOU ARE MY HEAT AND GLARE, 2/26-3/1
New York Live Arts presents the U.S. premiere of Kimberly Bartosik/daela's You are my heat and glare, February 26 - March 1 at 7:30pm in the third floor studios at New York Live Arts. Hailed by Dance Magazine as "one of the most intriguing descendants of Merce Cunningham," New York Dance and Performance "Bessie" Award-winning Bartosik, along with six other award-winning performers, take to the stage in this multi-disciplinary production created especially for the New York Live Arts studios.
Bartosik's evening length work, You are my heat and glare unfolds in a series of viscerally provocative, mixed-genre duets for dancers, designers and voice artists, including a duet for light and body featuring Bartosik and her longtime collaborator, lighting designer RodeRick Murray, who joins her onstage. Inspired by Anne Carson's poetic essay "The Anthropology of Water," You are my heat and glare grapples with the rawness of intimacy. It asks: What are we made of but hunger and rage? Choreographed by Bartosik in close collaboration with the performers, the work features dancers Joanna Kotze and Marc Mann and singers Gelsey Bell and Dave Ruder.
You are my heat and glare is commissioned by New York Live Arts and is made possible, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support is given by contributors to the Dance Theater Workshop Commissioning Fund at New York Live Arts.
You are my heat and glare was created, in part, with support from the Jerome Foundation; New Music USA; FUSED, French US Exchange in Dance; and American Dance Abroad. The work was developed, in part, through creative residencies at Jacob's Pillow, Mount Tremper Arts, Merce Cunningham Trust, and the Center for Performance Research.
Performances will take place in New York Live Arts' Theater. Come Early Conversations and Stay Late Discussions will also be featured with two shows. Tickets are $15 and $20, and may be purchased online at newyorklivearts.org/season, by phone at 212-924-0077 and in person at the box office. Box Office hours are Monday to Friday from 1 to 9pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 8pm.

29 Sep 2013 -- Over the past decade the number of rabies deaths has been on the rise in Viet Nam from 34 deaths in 2003 to a peak of 131 deaths in 2007 . This year's World Rabies Day brings together communities, authorities and health experts to raise awareness about the tools and technology available to prevent and eliminate rabies in both animals and humans. The day is also about helping people improve their understanding about the impact of rabies, enhance their collaboration and harness their commitment to defeat the disease.Although rabies is 100% preventable, approximately one person dies every ten minutes from the disease bringing the total to an estimated 55,000 rabies deaths worldwide each year.In Viet Nam more than 90% of the human rabies cases are caused by unvaccinated dogs. All human rabies cases reported thus far in 2013 have been fatal primarily due to failure to seek post exposure prophylaxis. Around 100 people die annually from the disease, in Viet Nam. Rabies is considered as a neglected disease that largely affects vulnerable populations including the rural poor who do not have adequate access to information and health services. In Viet Nam the majority of rabies cases occur in the northern, hard-to-reach mountainous provinces. The main reasons for the escalated number of human rabies cases over the past few years include low public awareness about rabies and its preventive measures, poor management of dogs, large numbers of stray and unvaccinated dogs, many people who were bitten by suspected rabid dogs did not get post exposure prophylaxis, and the lack of resources for rabies prevention and control."We have all the means necessary to eliminate rabies but we need a sustained and coordinated effort to ensure that vulnerable populations know how to protect themselves from the disease. With political commitment at all levels, education, dog vaccination, and increased awareness of wound management and post exposure rabies vaccines, we can save lives", Dr Bae Jongha, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Representative and Dr Takeshi Kasai, World Health Organization (WHO) Representative in Viet Nam, stated jointly.In a coordinated effort to raise awareness about both human and animal rabies, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) are teaming up with the FAO and WHO to host the World Rabies Day event in Son La city, in Son La province, which has one of the highest rabies death rates in the country. The event will bring together more than 800 students, teachers, community members, human and animal health professionals as part of Viet Nam's overarching target of eliminating rabies by 2020."Recently, the MARD and MOH jointly signed the Circular 16 dated May 27, 2013 providing Guidelines for coordinated prevention and control of zoonotic diseases. This Circular mandates that the animal and human health sectors coordinate and collaborate closely to address key zoonotic diseases including rabies. To achieve the goal of rabies elimination by 2020, as described in the National rabies prevention and control programme, it requires mutil-sectoral effort towards One Health approach, a strong commitment of local authorities in supporting the poor, ethnic minority groups and children under 6 years of age in accessing rabies vaccination as well as raising people's awareness in applying preventive measures against rabies both in animals and humans," Dr Nguyen Thu Thuy, Deputy Director of Animal Health Department and Dr Tran Dac Phu, Deputy Director of General Department of Preventive Medicine jointly said.Contact: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)Ms Nguyen Thuy HangAdvocacy and Community Engagement AdvisorTel: (++84.4) 3942.4208 (Ext 42), Email: firstname.lastname@example.com World Health Organization (WHO)Ms Tran Thi LoanCommunication AssistantEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com: 0915 413 814

Gothic Revival

Significant Person
Tracy McGregor
Narrative Description
The structure is located on the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue at West Philadelphia in Detroit and measuring 184 feet in length and 104 feet in width. Woodward Avenue Presbyterian is a rock-faced, brownstone, modern English Gothic-style church with smooth, contrasting, limestone trim. It represents a radical departure in massing and plan from the standard, end-gable-roof-and-corner tower gothic church type. The essentially square, two-story structure is dominated by a tall, octagonal, stone lantern rising from the center of the roof. The symmetrical, Woodward Avenue facade is composed of two, low, square towers flanking a gabled central section containing the massive, carved-stone-enframed entrance and a Gothic-arched, traceried, stained glass window. The side elevations are dominated by the gabled transepts, which contain full height traceried windows. Adjoining the rear of the church is the two-story educational wing which was constructed at the same time as the church. The design depends upon the contrast between the rough, dark, brownstone walls and the abundant light-colored smooth, limestone English Gothic carving used for the window enframements, the parapets, the gable panels and the portal treatment.

By 1908 Detroit Presbyterians saw the need for a church to serve the then "north" Woodward area. In September 1908, Mrs. Tracy McGregor donated the lot on which the present church stands. The cornerstone for the church was set on January 1, 1910, and the completed church dedicated on June 23, 1911. The Woodward Avenue Presbyterian Church is significant as a major work of the prominent turn-of-the-century church architect, Sidney Rose Badgley, and is a very fine example of the type of lantern-dome-crowned, auditorium church for which Badgley was best known.

Toyota Exec, ODU Alumnus Wil James, to Give Talk at Lambert's Point Community Center
Norfolk native and Old Dominion University alumnus Wilbert W. "Wil" James will speak about growing up in Lambert's Point and his journey to becoming the president of Toyota's largest manufacturing plant outside of Japan at 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, at the Lambert's Point Community Center, 1251 W. 42nd St., Norfolk.
Sponsored by ODU's Office of Community Engagement, the talk is free and open to the public. It is the first in what will be a quarterly speaker series through the expansion of the university's Lambert's Point Summer Programs for area youngsters.
James, the president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., received a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering technology from ODU in 1977. Following graduation, he embarked on a journey that has taken him to three other states and, in 2010, landed him as president of the Toyota plant in Georgetown, Ky.
After working at two other companies, James first came to Toyota's Georgetown plant in 1987. With a background in mechanical engineering, he could have commanded a more senior role. "But I asked to start as a first-line supervisor," James said. "I wanted to get management experience, and really learn about the people I work with. Because that's what Toyota is all about."
Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. (TMMK) employs nearly 7,000 people, and is the North America manufacturing site for Toyota vehicles such as the Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid and Venza. In his role as president, James is also responsible for overseeing the startup of a Toyota assembly plant in Mississippi, and supports a Subaru assembly line in Indiana.
During his first tour at TMMK, James worked his way up the management ladder. He was named vice president of manufacturing in 2003, responsible for overseeing all vehicle manufacturing as well as production control. He was also general manager of assembly, responsible for engineering, maintenance, production and internal parts conveyance for TMMK's two assembly lines, along with the plant's plastics organization.
After nearly 20 years at TMMK, James joined TABC, a parts component operation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota, in Long Beach, Calif., in 2006 as senior vice president of operations; a year later, he was named president. A brief rotation to Toyota's Indiana plant set the stage for his return to Kentucky last summer.
As the first African American to lead TMMK, James has made an effort to reach out and be a role model. One of his first appearances as president was as the keynote speaker for Toyota's 21st Opportunity Exchange in Cincinnati. The Opportunity Exchange, Toyota's own unique annual trade fair and conference, has generated $160 million in minority contracts since its start 20 years ago, according to the company.
During his visit to Norfolk, James will also receive a Distinguished Alumni Award from the Old Dominion University Alumni Association.

The Sacramental Coordinator assists with most parish liturgical celebrations. She prepares the General Intercessions for Sunday Masses each week and for holy days. These prayers reflect the readings of the day, the liturgical seasons, and local and world prayer needs, including our sick and recently deceased. She collaborates with the pastor to prepare the sanctuary for special celebrations throughout the liturgical year, including the Easter Triduum, communal penance services (reconciliation), and our All Souls Day Mass for parishioners who have died during the previous year.
The Sacramental Coordinator's other responsibilities include baptisms, weddings and funerals. She prepares the Eucharistic Chapel and the sanctuary for baptisms and greets parents and guests. For weddings, she meets with the bride or the couple in advance to advise them on the wedding liturgy; our facilities; decorations for the day, including flowers and candles; and other practical information such as guidelines for photographers. She arranges the preparation of the sanctuary for the occasion. A team from the parish will be present on the wedding day to set up and oversee details.
When a parishioner dies, the Sacramental Coordinator meets with the grieving family to aid them in planning the funeral liturgy. She will schedule the funeral Mass and coordinate the various ministries: the celebrant (one of our priests or a visiting priest); music (our pianist, cantor or a substitute); a vigil service/rosary when requested (our deacon); and the Manna Ministry, when a reception after the funeral is requested. The coordinator will assemble programs as worship aids for the funeral Mass, and she will reserve appropriate facilities. On the day of the funeral, she will prepare the sanctuary and narthex and be present to assist the family and/or the funeral director.
The Sacramental Coordinator also supervises the Candle Ministry and the floral designer who arranges flowers each week for the niche above the altar and other seasonal floral decorations.

Last night I had dinner at a place that rightfully boasted about great craft beer and cocktails made with true mixology care and thought.
I had an amazing old fashioned that started with bitters muddled with cubed sugar and finished with a real…
Fresh Cherry Sidecar
1 1/2 oz cherry brandy
1/2 oz cherry syrup
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
Click the picture for directions to make the cherry brandy and cherry syrup; it takes some time, but it's definitely worth the wait. Rim the glass with lime juice and dip in sugar. Shake with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.
Old Michaelmas
5 blackberries
5 mint leaves
2 slices of cucumber
3/4 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz gin
Club soda
Mint garnish
Muddle the blackberries, mint, cucumber, and syrup in a tumbler. Fill the glass with ice to keep the crushed fruit at the bottom before adding the lime juice and gin. Add club soda to the top and garnish with mint.
It's summer, so make good use of the cheap, fresh produce. As legend goes, the devil cursed on blackberries on Old Michaelmas Day (October 11) when he was banished from heaven and now urinates on them on that day every year. So get your brambles while their fresh!

Here, Fishy Fishy
Usually I come to this page with an idea of something to write about. Not today. This will probably be one of those random posts with little bits of everything in it. Have you ever noticed that my first paragraph is always long enough to make that drop cap thing on the left look right? Often I'll want to start off with a single sentence, but I write some fluff to make it look right.
I just gave my fish some medicine. They still have fin rot. It's really scary because huge chunks of their fins just dissolve into the water, so they look really pitiful. I've bought tons of different kinds of medicine for them, but none have fixed them yet. Each time they seem better, but then after the treatment the symptoms start showing up again. Of course I'm trying to treat the root problem, too, although I don't really know what it is. I change the water and feed them less. Almost everyone feeds their fish too much.
I really love my fish. I think they're the best pet ever. I can go out of town and not have to worry about them, but whenever I have a spare moment I sit and watch them swim around. Now I don't like watching them as much because they're sick so it makes me feel bad. It's amazing that they can just swim around and not die of boredom. I couldn't.
I watched a couple documentaries recently. One was about String Theory. It was really fascinating. I love it when I know nothing about some subject, then I learn about it and all of a sudden it changes how I look at life. Maybe not in a big way, but enough that it has had an effect. I watched another documentary on the Concorde, too.
I was going to ride on the Concorde once. I found this crazy deal to ride it for $1000 to either France or England. Normally it's $20,000, so I was really excited about this. I tried to get my friends to go, but no one wanted to. How is that even possible? You're in a plane that flies FASTER THAN A RIFLE BULLET. That's insane. It was the 31st of the month and I thought "well, if none of my friends want to go by tomorrow, I'll just get a ticket and go by myself."
The next day the deal was dead and I never went. Now it's out of commission so I may never get to ride it. Never skip opportunities like that.
I got new sheets the other day. They're really comfy.
I also got new underwear. I used to wear really dumb baggy underwear that made it hard to wear tight pants. Katya suggested this Perry Ellis underwear, which I liked a a lot, but I could only find it in XL. I'm nowhere near XL. It would fit snugly enough in the morning, but after walking around a lot it got way too loose by night time.
Buying underwear is hard. There are a lot of choices. I bought five different kinds and have been trying them out. I think I've got a winner.
I have a ton of self discipline. I have no idea where I got it from or when this happened, because I feel like I used to be completely not discplined. I see all these people doing things that are just insane. They smoke. They eat unhealthy foods. They play video games. It's amazing. Why not just exercise some discpline and cut these things out? Even with my discipline, I'm not perfect. I can't get myself to have a normal sleep schedule. I spend too much time on the computer (which is why I'm getting rid of it). I imagine life would be even better if I was more disciplined.
My life is fantastic. Every day I laugh because I'm so lucky to have such an awesome life. The best part is that it seems to keep getting better. Good things happen to me, good people come into my life, and "bad" events end up being good in the long run. The other day a friend was explaining this exercise where you think of something negative that happened to you. I couldn't. I really tried, and couldn't. I'll try right now again.
Ok, actually that was easy. I'm fixing my old car to sell it and the water pump needs to be replaced. I don't really care, though. My other car had a really annoying problem that I've been trying to fix, but Ben's Workshop fixed it for me for FREE! I was so happy because I was expecting it to be at least $1000.
I set up an account at www.emigrantdirect.com and have 10% of all my income going there. I'll never spend that money, only the interest. You guys should try that too. It's cool to have a savings account that you KNOW will never go down. It feels like playing a game.
Ok, that's enough random thoughts.

KCBD is learning new details about the mystery tunnel in North Lubbock. City engineers are now taking action to see just how far it goes.
"We've got a backhoe and we'll go out there and essentially just dig a five foot trench along the right-of-way and to see where that trench goes," said Wood Franklin, City of Lubbock engineer.
Lee Smithwick says he was watering his yard in September when he noticed part of it collapsed. When he looked into the hole, he found what appeared to be railroad ties and realized it was a tunnel. Smithwick contacted city officials who now say they are concerned the tunnel may create a problem for nearby roads.
"We're concerned that continues under Mesa (road). And if it does, does it create a structural issue for the road?" asked Franklin.
City engineers, along with Texas Tech University archaeologists will begin excavating the tunnel on Monday.
"Next week, as schedule permits, we're gonna go out there and start just excavation to see if there is any structural integrity to the road," he said.
If the tunnel does not run underneath any roads, or any other city property, the Smithwicks may be left to deal with the problem on their own.
Lee says he is inviting archaeologists to explore the tunnel because he wants to preserve history.

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The Georgia Army National Guard's 48th Brigade is assembling in Camp Shelby Mississippi and preparing to deploy to Afghanistan in the next week.
Today, three soldiers said goodbye to their families. They enjoyed a final weekend visit home, thanks to an Albany church.
Last week Sherwood Baptist Church of Albany sent a bus to Camp Shelby and brought more than a dozen members of the 48th Brigade back home to Albany for their last furlough before deploying.
Many of the soldiers said they could not afford the trip, but thanks to the church they got to visit their family. The church took the ones who wanted a return ride back to Mississippi.
There were hugs, tears, and prayers as Private First Class Nicoby Inman said goodbye.
"That's the hardest part, leaving my family and friends and stuff," said PFC Nicoby Inman of Scout Company.
This is Inman's second deployment. He served in Iraq in 2006. "The entire family is proud of Nicoby. We endured a tour in Iraq. We made it through that one, and with God's prayers we'll make it through this one also," said his Mother, Faye Johnson.
For the next ten months the 48th Brigade will train Afghan soldiers and police to protect their own country.
Sgt. Ronald Williams is also an Iraq veteran with the Brigade, and is excited about the mission. "To do a good job in humanitarian things that the region needs. Good support. Southern hospitality that we bring from Georgia."
Sherwood Baptist Church brought Williams and Inman home for one last visit, and Jim Russell said he is proud to drive them seven hours back to Camp Shelby.
"They're doing a whole lot more for me than I. Just driving a bus is a minor thing," Russell said.
But the families said the church bringing their soldiers home for one last visit and taking them back was a tremendous gift.
"Meant a lot to me. And my wife, and my family. All the people here in Albany. I want to say thank you Sherwood Christian," said Williams' Father Benny Williams.
More than 3000 members of the Georgia Army National Guard will deploy to Afghanistan within the next week. One interesting thing the troops were talking about their training in the last months.
They had to prepare for sub freezing temperatures they will face later in the year, rather than the 100 degree plus temperatures they saw in Iraq.
Sherwood Baptist brought more than a dozen soldiers home to Albany Friday, but only three soldiers rode back to Camp Shelby today.

China's Golden Years Still to Come
Tuesday, November 13th, 2012
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
These are exciting times for China, with the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China currently in motion as the country selects the next leadership group that will dictate the country's policy and direction over the next 10 years. This could be a special decade for the country. For China, the change at the helm comes at a critical juncture, as the country is currently facing stalling economic growth following years of explosive gross domestic product (GDP) growth that propelled the country to overtake Japan as the world's second-largest economy.
While many are ditching China, I continue to be a Chinese bull, looking forward. I continue to feel that the golden years for the country are actually still to come. Just consider the 1.3 billion people, the surging middle class, the rising income levels, and a concerted government move to continue to drive the country's economic turbines to expand the country's power.
We are beginning to see some signs that the country is on the mend and will surely avoid a hard landing, unless the eurozone and Europe enter a severe recession. What makes the situation in China worrisome is the fragile state of the eurozone and Europe, which continue to fight an uphill battle of high debt and muted growth. (Read "Reminder: Eurozone Has Its Own Fiscal Cliff.") China will suffer as demand for Chinese goods declines. But there are some encouraging signs.
China's industrial production surged 9.6% in October, up from 9.2% in September. The key retail sales reading showed sales increasing 14.5% in October versus 14.2% in September. (Source: "Data shows Chinese economy expanded in October," China Economic Review, November 12, 2012.) And in another positive reading, the country's trade surplus of $32.0 billion in October represented a four-year high. (Source: "China trade surplus hits four-year high," China Economic Review, November 12, 2102.)
While it's premature to say China will not implode, these are good signs, given the government's desire to power the economy forward and double its GDP by 2020. The transition to the new leadership group should only continue the country's economic goals established at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China 10 years ago.
China realizes that its political clout in world economic affairs, similar to that of the United States, is related to the strength of its economy; hence, the desire for economic growth. Money buys power and economic and political alliances worldwide. The U.S. has been doing this and China is clearly set on following this business model.
So, while the immediate future continues to be full of uncertainties, I continue to like China longer-term. There is no doubt in my mind that the country is here to stay as a major player and that it will only become more influential and powerful both politically and economically.

The Great Crash of 2014
A stock market crash bigger than what happened in 2008 and early 2009 is headed our way.
In fact, we are predicting this crash will be even more devastating than the 1929 crash…
…the ramifications of which will hit the economy and Americans deeper than anything we've ever seen.
Our 27-year-old research firm feels so strongly about this, we've just produced a video to warn investors called, "The Great Crash of 2014."
In case you are not familiar with our research work on the stock market:
In late 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, we told our clients to buy small-cap stocks. They rose about 100% after we made that call.
We were one of the first major advisors to turn bullish on gold.
Throughout 2002, we urged our readers to buy gold stocks; many of which doubled and even tripled in price.
In November of 2007, we started begging our customers to get out of the stock market. Shortly afterwards, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for stocks.
We correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009.
And in March of 2009, we started telling our readers to jump into small caps. The Russell 2000 gained about 175% from when we made that call in 2009 to today.
Many investors will find our next prediction hard to believe until they see all the proof we have to back it up.
Even if you don't own stocks, what's about to happen will affect you!
I urge you to be among the first to get our next major

St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford did not practice again today. Bradford has yet to return to the practice field after missing last week's game against the Dallas Cowboys with a high ankle sprain. According to the team, he may try and practice Friday, but there is no guarantee.
This morning a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said that Bradford was likely to miss this week's game against the New Orleans Saints. He tried to give it a go last Friday, but team training staff noticed that he was throwing off his heel rather than the front of his foot. The second-year quarterback has been wearing a walking boot this week, after wearing a cast over the weekend, and is being kept off his feet.
Backup quarterback A.J. Feeley is practicing with the first team this week. He made his first NFL start since 2007 last week in a 34-7 loss to the Cowboys.
That was the first game Bradford has missed since being drafted first overall in 2010. His high ankle sprain is not the first injury the Rams' quarterback has suffered this season. A finger injury and a thigh bruise gave coaches and fans cause for concern earlier in the year. Poor protection from his offensive line has resulted in 21 sacks against Bradford this season.

We should probably do a beer meet-up sometime this season, shouldn't we? Maybe a weekend day game at Toronado, and we can take over the back room? Or maybe Shotwell's or Rosamunde Mission?
Yeah, y'all are getting Lagunitas. But I think I'll do an Abita/Black Magic Voodoo Lounge post when the Braves come in August.
Sure, you all know about Lagunitas IPA. It's so ubiquitous here in the Bay Area, a lot of people think IPA is Lagunitas. And hey, it's a good one. It's one of my go-tos, along with Racer 5 and 1500. But, as you may also know, they do have a full portfolio of other year-rounds and seasonals that at this point are readily available around the Bay.
But the real fun is going to the brewery itself. The downside is that you do have to drive. The upside of that is that there are cheap hotels within walking distance and handful of good beer joints in Petaluma. (I recommend Taps.) I can say from experience that this is the way to do it. At Lagunitas' Tap Room And Beer Sanctuary, there's a bigass semi-covered patio with tons of picnic tables and dogs wandering all over the place. The food is nothing special but it definitely ain't bad. And they always have at least 20 taps going, with the usual IPA, Censored, Lucky 13, etc… but they'll also have whatever chocolate/barrel aged/raspberry/brett concoction they've been screwing around with lately. No, seriously. There's also a small stage where smaller local bands play, and they're recently constructed a small amphitheater next to the Beer Sanctuary, to lure in bigger bands passing through. The whole place is really just nifty, and the people who work there are all pretty fuckin' cool, if somewhat daffy. Though if you pay attention to their marketing, you probably knew that anyway.
Protip: it's also a really cool place for a private party. Before they built the Beer Sanctuary, they used a small bar overlooking the brewhouse, which is still there. Get a bunch of friends, reserve the place, drink some cool beer in a really cool little bar, and then get the brewery tour by a drunk employee. It's a good time.
Also of note, they actually make a bunch of pretty cool swag. It always bums me out to go to a great brewery and see the same crappy logo polo shirt and cheap conicals. I particularly like the butterfly opener and the fake paper bag.

Passaic freeholder hopefuls talk spending
Full coverage: 2012 North Jersey Elections
Candidates for the three open Passaic County freeholder seats sparred Tuesday night over what kind of board can be trusted with taxpayer money: a completely Democratic body touting such projects as the county's renovated nursing home, or one with a Republican minority pushing back against borrowing.
The three Republican incumbents have strained to make the case that a bipartisan board is the most effective check against Democratic spending. The candidates argued that they have prevented borrowing to pay county workers or for the pension fund.
"Instead of looking for efficiencies and money-saving ideas to help people, the Democratic response is as always spend other people's money," said Freeholder Deborah Ciambrone.
She and fellow GOP Freeholders Edward O'Connell and Michael Marotta — who were elected in 2009 amid voter frustration over spending by Democrats — face an uphill battle for reelection in a county that leans heavily Democratic. Their opponents — John Bartlett, Ronda Casson Cotroneo and Hector Lora — have campaigned on the achievements of the Freeholder Board under Democratic leadership, including the renovation of the Preakness Healthcare Center, and keeping a good credit rating while the Republicans griped about budgets that they couldn't trim.
"They talk a good game, but they've had three years," said Bartlett, an attorney from Wayne. "They've come up with virtually nothing."
All the candidates agreed that Preakness should remain county-run, but O'Connell criticized the millions in cost overruns to upgrade the nursing home.
The incumbents also took issue with the decision, backed by Democrats, to set aside money to hire aides for each freeholder.
Tuesday's debate, held in the council chambers at the Wayne municipal building and sponsored by the League of Women Voters, was the first and only time all six candidates met face-to-face on issues ranging from shared services to alternative energy to the county's accessibility through social media.

Google Ngram: Baseball vs Football
Google introduced a new app associated with Google Books, and besides tracking the usage of ketchup and catsup I decided to see which has been referenced more, "baseball" or "football". Given how the media talks about how football has supplanted baseball as "America's Game", I was surprised to see the the graphical output.
The chart shows only the frequency each word is used, and overlooks context. I would agree that professional football has taken the title of "America's Professional Game" from professional baseball, but I could see an argument that the growth of professional football has come at the expense of college football, and not at the expense of professional baseball. Because when you think about it, with baseball attendance at or near historic highs and with overall television viewership at an all-time high, too, I would argue that baseball continues to maintain a strong position within American sports psyche...

Well it's almost time to strike up the band and cut on the bright lights we're about a month away from the start of high school football and got a little appetizer Saturday in Valdosta. "In the Game Magazine" and the South Georgia Medical Center presented High School Media Day at the Rainwater Conference Center. 11 coaches representing 11 schools from the southern part of the area sat down to talk about what folks can expect from their teams this year.
Valdosta, Lowndes, Colquitt County, Thomasville, TC Central, Brooks, Berrien, Lanier, Clinch County and even GISA Valwood all took time to talk about how much things will change for their schools in the coming months.
Jim Dickerson said "There's not anything else to do in Homerville, we don't even have a Wal-Mart. We got football, that's all we got. Our kids know that and they want to grow up being Panthers. Certainly we believe in the whole saying that kids are going to live up to the expectations. We have some tradition and we kind of play to that strength."
Ken Cofer "We don't have that many division 1 prospects. I told a lot of coaches that we have kids that are about the same size. If you watch the Wizards of Oz and you go to munchkin land, that's what we look like."
There will be another high school football media day next week in Tifton

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduced Sherlock Holmes to the world in the 1800s, and the Guinness World Records has said that Holmes has been the "most portrayed movie character" on the screen, with well over 200 movies.
Buster Keaton had an early role as the logical detective in the early 1920s, and Christopher Plummer – who is getting lots of attention for his role in Beginners this year – played him in 1979.
Guy Ritchie brought a modern touch to the tales with this character a few years ago. I enjoyed that one. The score was amazing, the set design, and modern, stylized take was a lot of fun. It helped that Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr. were the leads and had great chemistry together.
In the second teaming of Watson and Holmes, we get a decent villain. He's played by Jared Harris (Mad Men). His voice and intelligence reminds me of a Bond villain, and the chess match he gets into with Downey is clever. I just didn't find him as menacing as all the creeps in the first film.
I also found that many of the things Ritchie is known for in his movies has become monotonous. There's only so many times we can see slow motion explosions and stop action, where the bullet hits the tree, nearly missing Holmes. A lot of the dialogue was boring, too.
Since the Holmes character was originally created as a guy that dabbled in drugs and wasn't the cleanest person around, I laughed watching how that was portrayed in these films. In this one he's drinking, smoking, and nibbling on cocoa leaves. He also has an occasional belt of formaldehyde. Not sure what kind of hangover that will give ya.
Dr. Watson is again reluctant to work with Holmes, and he's preoccupied with his upcoming nuptials.
Rachel McAdams is back in a few scenes, and Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) is an interesting fortune-teller.
The story was convoluted and at times hard to follow. There's the suicide of the prince of Austria, that Holmes deduces that the evidence points to murder.
The story was written by the husband and wife team of Michelle and Kieran Mulroney (Paper Man). Kieran is more well-known as an actor (and younger brother of Dermot). I'm hoping their next script is a little better than this.
And I hope Guy Ritchie mixes up his editing and visuals and gives us something different next time out.
Robert Downey, Jr. won a Golden Globe for his performance as Sherlock Holmes the first time out, but it's a safe bet that this movie won't win anything. In a weekend when the kids will want to go to the Alvin and the Chipmunks sequel, take them to that instead of seeing this "sequel."
I'm giving it 1 ½ stars out of 5.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

Polling stations open in Egypt for referendum
Polling stations have opened in Egypt in the second and final round of a referendum on a new constitution. It was drafted by an assembly which the opposition says is polarising the nation.
After a first round vote last week which unofficial results showed as 57 per cent approval of the constitution, polls opened again at 8am local time (6am GMT).
Polls are scheduled to close at 7pm (5pm GMT) but could be kept open longer as they were last week.
The opposition said voting in the first round was littered with abuses. Officials overseeing the poll have said there was no major irregularities.
