Sid Espinosa, Susan Ford Dorsey and Norman Y. Mineta have made giving back the focus of their careers, and their lives.
This Saturday, they will be recognized for it.
The staff of have chosen these three Bay Area community leaders to be honored at the 15th Annual Josephine and Frank Duveneck Humanitarian Awards Dinner.
"The Duvenecks provided a dynamic example of what committed social responsibility and personal vision can do to positively impact the lives of others," said Chris Overington, executive director of Hidden Villa, an organic farm, woodland open space, educational center and community started by Frank and Josephine Duveneck in 1924.
This annual dinner recognizes inspirational leaders who exemplify Hidden Villa's mission and values through environmental, social and educational activism. Hidden Villa staff said it is proud to recognize Dorsey, Espinosa and Mineta for their tireless work in all three of those areas.
With the airport in San Jose and a section of state Highway 85 named after him, Mineta is well-known throughout Silicon Valley. He is the global vice chairman of Hill & Knowlton and independent vice chairman of L&L Energy Inc. Mineta also has the distinction of having served two presidents, from both parties, in cabinet-level positions. In 2000, he was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, and in 2001, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as Secretary of Transportation, where he served until 2006.
Mineta got his start in Santa Clara Valley. For nearly 30 years, he represented San Jose, first on the City Council, and then in 1971 became the first Asian-American elected as mayor of a major American city. Mineta went on to Congress from 1975-95, chairing the powerful Transportation Committee. That rise has been seen as remarkable, given his early life. As a boy, he was interned for three years with his family, just like 120,000 other Japanese and Japanese-Americans World during War II.
Mineta is being recognized for his accomplishments in economic development, science and technology policy, foreign and domestic trade, budgetary issues and civil rights.
"We are delighted to honor Norman for his long-standing commitment to the rights of individuals and communities, and his many decades of public service," Overington said.
Espinosa is the director of corporate citizenship at Microsoft and mayor of the city of Palo Alto. He previously worked in the Clinton White House, at the U.S. Justice Department for Attorney General Janet Reno, and as the director of global philanthropy for Hewlett-Packard, where he oversaw the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in nonprofit organizations and schools around the world. He is a recognized leader on global policy issues, including education, economic development and the environment.
"Sid has been a strong supporter of Hidden Villa's work with teachers and students within the Mountain View-Whisman and Redwood City school districts," Overington said.
"We are delighted to honor him for his leadership and advocacy for schools-based, community initiatives."
Dorsey is president of the Sand Hill Foundation, which invests in Bay Area nonprofit organizations that make a difference in local communities. She also serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations, including Menlo School, where she is the chairwoman; the Palo Alto Medical Foundation; and Monterey Bay Aquarium. Past board service includes Common Sense Media, Peninsula Open Space Trust and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
Prior to the Sand Hill Foundation, Dorsey was the founder and president of Health Innovations, a health care consulting firm that specializes in business development, strategic planning and marketing. She also served as director of Common Sense Media Inc. and as director of the Peninsula Community Foundation until 2005.
"Hidden Villa is delighted to honor Susan for her long-time advocacy for children and family health in San Mateo and northern Santa Clara counties, and her dedication to the protection of the environment," Overington said.
by husband and wife, Frank and Josephine Duveneck, in the 1920s. Both coming from wealthy Boston families, the couple could have easily lived a rich and privileged life, but instead, they chose to use their financial means to improve the communities around them. They bought more than 1,000 acres in the Los Altos Hills and turned it into Hidden Villa, leaving the land, the farm and all they were used for in a trust to the local community when they died.
After establishing Hidden Villa, the couple used the grounds and facilities to start one of the country's first interracial summer camp programs, which continues to this day. They were also instrumental in founding the Peninsula School; they took in and supported many displaced Japanese-Americans interned during World War II and African-Americans who needed support; farmworkers leader Cesar Chavez met with them and discussed La Huelga, the first major strike that put the plight of field workers into national headlines. And the Duvenecks were very vocal in spreading the word about AIDS when the disease was first identified, educating people that it was not a disease merely carried by homosexual males.
In short, the Duvenecks touched the lives of many people, and they inspired generations of others to do the same.
The proceeds from the sale of tickets to the dinner will enable Hidden Villa to offer $350,000 in scholarships and partnership support for its programs, including the a 66-year-old, multicultural summer camp; an experimental, environmental education program for schoolchildren; community programs exploring environmental and social issues; internship programs in agriculture and environmental education; a community-supported agriculture program; and the country's oldest, continuously operating hostel.
Audrey Rust, past executive director of Peninsula Open Space Trust, will serve as the master of ceremonies at this year's dinner.
"All of our honorees and our emcee exemplify this generous and compassionate spirit and work to make the world a better place," Overington said.
Tickets for the event are sold out, but for more information about Hidden Villa and the event, visit hiddenvilla.org.

Money Market & CD Specials at Green Bank in Texas - Local Only
Green Bank, N.A. is offering some competitive money market and CD specials. For the money market account, there's a special intro yield of 1.25% that's guaranteed for the first 180 days. Minimum deposit is $2,500, and there's a $5,000 minimum daily balance to avoid a $15 monthly service fee. Maximum balance that qualifies for this special intro rate is $1 million. After the first 180 days, the rates will fall to the standard tiered rates. This special doesn't appear to be listed on the bank's website. It was advertised in the 10/22/2012 edition of the Dallas Morning News. The ad is available online here (see 10/24 update below).
Green Bank also has a CD special that includes a 1.25% APY 21-month CD and a 1.05% APY 15-month CD. Minimum deposit is $1,000, and the maximum deposit is $ million. This CD special is listed on the bank's webpage as of 10/22/2012.
In addition to these specials, the bank has competitive standard long-term CD and IRA CD rates. The two best are 1.85% APY for a 5-year term and 1.50% APY for a 4-year term. The bank has separate rate sheets for Houston, Dallas and Houston. Links to these rate sheets are available on this Green Bank page. As of 10/22/2012, these two CD rates are available in all three cities.
It appears that a branch visit is required to open an account. Branches are located in the Texas cities of Austin, Dallas, Richardson, Houston, The Woodlands, Humble, Kingwood and Cleveland.
Green Bank is headquartered in Houston. In the last couple of years it has expanded to Dallas and Austin.
The bank has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 5 stars (out of 5) with a Texas ratio of 8.53% (above average) based on June 2012 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Green Bank for more details. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1999 (FDIC Certificate # 35007).
Update 10/24/2012: I've been informed by a bank representative of different money market promotions for Houston and Austin. For the Houston-area branches, the money market promo guarantees 1.50% APY for the first 120 days. For the Austin branch, the money market promo guarantees 1.25% APY until 12/31/2013.
There are also internet specials that are available in an online application. These specials include a money market account with 1.00% APY guaranteed until 6/30/2013 and a 1.95% APY 5-year CD. These specials are listed in this Green Bank page as of 10/24/2012.
How These Specials Compare
The money market special reminds me of the EverBank intro special which also has a 1.25% rate guaranteed for the first 6 months for new money market and checking account customers. Green Bank has the advantage of a higher maximum balance. EverBank limits the 1.25% intro rate to a $50K balance for the money market account and a $100K balance for the checking account.
The 21-month CD rate is hard to compare since it's an odd term. It tops the best 18-month CD rate that's nationally available. That is 1.15% APY, and it's being offered by both NexBank and Salem Five Direct.
If you live in Texas, there's an 18-month CD with a 1.25% APY that's available online from Libertad Bank.
The above rates are accurate as of 10/22/2012.

November 11, 2004
Colquitt County-- Thursday, investigators wrapped up their work at the home where Jaime and Tina Resendez, their 3-year-old son, Juan, Tina's mother, Betty Watts, and an unidentified housekeeper were murdered Monday.
They spent the last three days covering the crime scene with a fine-tooth comb, but say the killers knew how to do their jobs without leaving a trace.
Family members have arrived at the house to go through their loved ones' belongings. Authorities have not yet released to property, and crime tape is still in place.
"We've about wrapped things up, and the home will be turned back over to the owners sometime today," said Colquitt County Sheriff Al Whittington.
Investigators took a final walk through the house Thursday morning, making sure that no evidence was left behind. Whittington says final autopsy results probably won't be ready until Monday, but he will say that Jaime Resendez had multiple wounds, indicating that he probably tried to fight off the killer or killers.
"Some of the wounds appeared to perhaps have been defensive, or trying to ward off his attacker," said the sheriff. The murders were undoubtedly a professional hit, probably brought on by Jaime and his wife's drug involvement.
The couple was arrested in the Berrien County's largest drug bust last year, and gave up information on their supplier. "There's a strong possibility that what's taken place, their drug charges lodged against those individuals, and we feel that they were perhaps still in the drug business."
Investigators are following between 20 and 30 leads, but Whittington says the killers left nothing behind to connect them to the murders. Bullet casings have been recovered, so investigators know what type of weapon was used, but we may never know exactly when the shootings happened, or in what order the victims were shot. "We've got the time of day narrowed down, but there's no way to know exactly," said Whittington.
The Berrien County drug bust last year had connection to the Houston Texas area, and the information the Resendez' gave up lead to more arrests.
Tina Resendez, her son, three-year-old Juan, and her mother, Betty Watts will be remembered at a service Friday at 11:00AM at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Moultrie.
Investigators still have not identified the housekeeper who was killed. They hope to release her name by late Friday.

• The Grandview Heights Historic District will be hosting their 15th annual historic home tour on Sunday, April 1st, between 3 – 7 pm. This home tour will mark the 100th birthday of the oldest section of Grandview Heights, one of the oldest neighborhoods in West Palm Beach. Located within walking distance to City Place and the downtown Clematis Street Historic District, the Grandview Heights Historic District has become one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods in West Palm Beach due to its superb location and eclectic, old south Florida atmosphere. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places with the oldest section of the neighborhood having been established in 1912, this neighborhood has one of the highest concentrations of historically significant architecture in the city, such as Spanish Mission, Mediterranean Revival, Florida Bungalow, Art Deco and Dutch Colonial Revival.
This year's tour features 13 homes, the biggest ever, with various styles, such as craftsman bungalow, Italianate frame vernacular, spanish mission and Mediterranean revival in different stages of restoration. 11 of the homes have never been shown in the past, including one which dates back to 1912. Highlights of the tour this year include art exhibits by locally acclaimed artists at Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast and Casa Grandview Historic Luxury Inn, a complimentary street party including a full meal, wine, soft drinks and live entertainment by Samm, one of the areas most popular jazz singers.
Tickets can either be purchased in advance for $25 at the Armory Art Center, Excentricities at 1810 South Dixie or O'Sheas on Clematis. They can also be booked in advance online at www.historichometours.com or by calling 659-6721. Tickets are $30 on the day of the tour and can be purchased in front of the Armory Art Center in Howard Park.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
What: The Camera Bag app for the iPhone, a bargain at $2.99, provides eight artsy filters for the phone's camera. They include the Helga, which adds a Holga-like desaturation and vignette border; the Lolo, which emulates the beloved classic Lomo camera; and a nostalgic sepia-toned one called 1974.
Why: Because you bought an iPhone, and now you might as well have some cheap fun. Says Obedient Sons designer Swaim Hutson, "I can instantly take [daughter] Lowe back to my childhood days. Depending on how Christina dresses her, I can make her look like a cross between David Lee Roth and an eighties hesher." (That's Lowe Hutson transported to 1974, pictured here.)

Midseason Playoff Odds Report
Baseball Prospectus's Playoff Odds report, which has been more skeptical of the Bucs than the other projection systems, gives the Pirates a 50.4 percent chance of making the playoffs as of the All-Star break. I'm pretty sure this is the first time the Pirates have broken the 50 percent barrier. Coolstandings, which goes strictly by run differential and strength of schedule, gives the Pirates a 72.4 percent chance of making the playoffs. Go Bucs!

"Come on, Ramon..."
"Mike, you know this isn't a good idea."
Ramon sighed. With increasing difficulty, Ramon Sessions pried himself free of Mike Payne's arms, and positioned himself as far away as the cramped closet would allow him. While Mike did nothing to keep Ramon at his side, he continued to stare at Ramon with a smile that was nothing short of evil. Quietly, he began to tap his foot in an impatient manner.
"Well? Why not?" he asked again.
Ramon shrugged uncomfortably. "If we get caught...and the last time I said yes because you carried me to the janitor's closet. That's different. There, we weren't prone to being discovered by anyone other than the janitor. Here, hell, even bugman22 could come in."
Cornering Ramon against the shelves, Mike placed his hands on Ramon's chest and began sliding them upwards and around his neck. Ramon blinked as Mike thrust his face closer to his.
"Come on, Ramon..." he purred seductively. "You're always saying how I'm constantly making you wait."
Again, Ramon sighed. Wrapping his arms around Mike's small waist, he leaned forward and began to run his tongue across Mike's neck.
"We're gonna get caught, Mike."
Mike laughed softly. "Wanna bet?"
"Yes. I bet you 5 bucks that we're gonna get busted."
One of Mike's hands moved up to Ramon's neck. He ran his fingers along Ramon's short, black hair, which shined in the dim light of the closet.
"Mmmmm....10 bucks!"
"One hundred and fifty!"
The last proposal caught Ramon by surprise. A hundred and fifty dolllars was quite a jump from 50. For a moment, he paused his activity, considering the offer. Then he grinned. A hundred and fifty was enough to make him happy for the next three days, he figured.
Breathing softly in Mike's ear, he whispered, "Deal."
Sorry guys, that's all I can write. I gotta get back to my homework, and I really should keep this work safe. Hope you guys like it!

Case Study
Why the My Travel Biz concept works
Tour operators, wholesalers and travel agencies traditionally outlay hundreds of thousands of pounds each year on marketing and advertising their products and services in order to achieve sales.
The My Travel Biz opportunity brings modern technology and the social networking concept together to achieve the same outcome.
Instead of these travel companies paying marketing agencies, newspapers, TV channels etc to advertise their holidays, they are willing to pay commissions to affiliate agents who can generate business through their personal contacts and social networking. They are able to pay generous commissions because they are only paying for the marketing to the client after they have received the booking.
Thanks to our unique approach to travel – we are attracting new clients from all over the country who don't just buy a travel product from us once, they come back time and time again to get the very best service and price, meaning that your commissions will grow year on year.

Kimcheese serves each order of Asian-Mexican fusion food under the guiding principle that fresh, handmade food makes for better a meal. The Korean barbecue burgers, tacos, and burritos are filled with hearty ribeye beef marinated in a house sauce. And the fixings receive the same care and consideration: The staff makes pico de gallo in-house, heats tortillas, and slices up fresh vegetables twice per day.
Friendly's Sports Bar and Grill, voted Best Neighborhood Bar by Riverfront Times in 2007, first opened its doors in 1928 under the moniker Friendly Tavern, and served as a community social club and a meeting place for church groups. Since then, the spot has changed hands and embraced modern technology, but retains its original unpretentious atmosphere. More than 40 flat-screen TVs let patrons watch multiple sports games at the same time by crossing their eyeballs in different directions. A game room houses regulation pool tables, arcade games, and more than 30 other diversions, and a spacious outdoor beer garden with picnic benches lures patrons outside during warm months.
Friendly's Sports Bar and Grill complements cold beers and mixed drinks with a menu that encompasses all types of pub appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees, such as the ever-popular fried chicken. The spot's kitchen can also cater private events with trays of gourmet meats and cheeses, or the Southern Chef Special Buffet, which makes bellies growl with a charming Southern twang.
Social House Soulard packs its 4,500 square feet of space with 15 TVs, live entertainment, a dance floor, and a kitchen serving pub fare favorites until 10 p.m. Athletes cavort and endorse baby formula on HDTV screens overhead as breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches and cold domestic brews fill fists. Live bands commanding power chords wash over revelers on the sprawling dance floor, and on some nights, DJs spin top 40 hits.
The Over/Under Bar & Grill is only a few blocks from the stadiums where the Cardinals, Rams, and Blues play. Being located within a stone's throw of these sporting meccas is appropriate, since the bar screens the night's biggest games on 37 large-screen LCD televisions. It even shows major events outside, where a 120-inch screen helps illuminate an outdoor patio.
This atmosphere alone would've been enough to earn The Over/Under the honor of the Riverfront Times' best sports bar of 2010. But the paper lauded much more than the TVs and games, going on to gush about the spot's "impressive lineup of microbrews" and "great food." The chefs achieve this greatness by reinventing American classics with gourmet ingredients. For example, they smother their waffle fries in housemade gorgonzola sauce, create half-pound burgers with wagyu beef, and dress up drab BLTs with applewood-smoked salmon. St. Louis Magazine and Sauce Magazine have also taken notice, calling The Over/Under one of the best places to watch a game in St. Louis.
At Time Out Bar & Grill, patrons sip beers and cocktails over friendly games of pool, scarf down appetizers of chicken tenders and toasted ravioli, and wrap their hands around meaty half-pound burgers. Diners quell hunger pangs with savory bowls of pasta or plates of cheesy pizza, or take on the ocean's most—skewers, salads, and pastas made with blackened shark.
There's plenty of entertainment at Silver Creek Saloon & Grill: live bands perform throughout the week, and RedZone football games are broadcast on an oversize projector and nine flat-screen televisions. In the warmer months, visitors can play sports themselves, serving volleyballs across Silver Creek's sandy court.
Lump crab cakes, steak sandwiches, and hand-breaded shrimp po' boys are just a few of the snacks available to patrons who arrive hungry or who work up an appetite on the court. Bartenders mix cocktails and pour cold beers to slake thirsts indoors or on the outdoor patio. Groups of friends can also gather in the pub's private party room, which can be reserved without a fee.

Lottery Fund money given to Midlands groups
Nottingham's Raleigh Bicycles factory will get a share of £4.5million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. It's designed to help people learn more about their community's heritage, from bikes to pubs to football.
The money will finance projects researching and documenting local history.
– Dame Jenny Abramsky, HLF chairwoman
"These grants seem to have struck a chord - perhaps it reflects the wonderful community spirit of the Olympics - but clearly people of all ages and backgrounds and lottery players themselves want to look into and celebrate what has shaped their communities over the years."
Stoke-on-Trent's potteries are also receiving some of the money. It will highlight the history of tile-making and architectural ceramics.
542 projects across the country have received their share of the money. The grants range from £3,000 to £10,000 to help community groups.
A full list of all the groups receiving a grant can be found on the Heritage Lottery Fund website.

Hazel was born in Lafayette, Tenn., on Aug. 18, 1931. She was the daughter of the now late Johnnie Bedford and Mattie Jane (Brawner) Hutcherson.
Hazel's early years were spent in Lafayette. At the age of 13, she moved to Indianapolis.
She married Helmer "Joe" Hightower on Jan. 22, 1949, in Franklin, Ky.; they later divorced.

In 1972, after moving to Lebanon, she went to work for Shumate Business Forms as a JCM Operator in the Bindery Department; she retired from there in 1993.
Hazel was a planner and organizer. She always knew what she wanted and worked toward that goal. She was a thoughtful person who always made time to send a card to family and friends. Hazel enjoyed embroidery, flower gardening, sewing, and when time allowed, traveling to different places.
She was a member of the New Hope Christian Church in Whitestown, the Order of the Eastern Star in Whitestown, and was a former member of the Singles Club.
Survivors include two daughters, Barbara Ann Warren of Thorntown and Merinda Lynn Hightower of Lafayette, Tenn.; granddaughter, Whitney (Jason) Whitlow of Charlotte, N.C.; great-grandson, Cole Whitlow of Charlotte; and several nieces, nephews and many dear friends.
In addition to her parents, Hazel was preceded in death by two brothers, Elzie Adam Hutcherson and Jack Randel Hutcherson; and two sisters, Ova May Kemp and Magie Ruline Wyatte.
Visitation is 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, at Myers Mortuary, 1502 N.

Alton (who clearly states that not only is he not a nutritionist or doctor, but that he didn't consult a doctor) calls his way of eating the "Plan of Four Lists". He has assigned himself short lists of things to eat daily, things to eat 3 times per week, things to eat no more than once per week, and things to eat never. There is appeal to an approach like this, because it tends to simplify your life. He was mainly going for foods that are nutrient dense and that provide a variety of nutrients. Some of the things Alton eats would not be considered low-carb, but as a whole, I think the plan is moderate in carbs - definitely lower than the Food Pyramid, for example. So it might work for someone who has difficulties with glucose, but not severe ones. A couple of adjustments would lower the carbs without significantly lowering the nutrients.
Alton Brown's "Eat Daily" List - fruits, whole grains, leafy greens, nuts, carrots, green tea
Comment: Of course, the grains are the item which stands out as being carby, and really not at all necessary in a nutritious diet. Carrots have gotten a bad rap because they are root vegetables, but they aren't as high in carbs as a lot of people think, and they are packed with nutrients. Most (but not all) people can eat at least one serving of low-sugar fruit per day. I agree that eating nuts and greens daily is an excellent idea. I haven't tried to create a list-type approach myself, but I would definitely put adequate protein and olive oil on this daily list.
Alton Brown's "Eat Three Times Per Week" list - Oily fish (wild salmon, sardines, etc), yogurt, broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocado
I would choose carrots or pumpkin as a lower-carb way to get the carotenoids and other nutrients in orange vegetables.
Alton Brown's "Only Once per Week" list - pasta, one alcoholic drink, red meat, dessert
Alton Brown's "Zero Times per Week" list - fast food, soda, processed meals, canned soups, "diet" anything (no artificial sweeteners)
Notes: Alton doesn't drink milk because it makes him want cookies, cake, etc. He has a breakfast smoothie with reminds me a little of the Eades' (of Protein Power) Paleolithic Punch (though Alton adds soy milk to his).
What would your lists look like?

In spite of being on the lower carb side of the diet world, he apparently has an issue with "red" meat. Whatever it is, there has never been any proof whatsoever that it is not a good, healthy source of protein. We know the saturated fat phobia is based on manipulated data and there is nothing else but this junk "science" that can be used to back up this popular health notion that one should "limit red meat". Despite his good intentions, he needs to do some unbiased reasearch on nutrition.
- February 15, 2010 at 7:00 pm(3) Ned says:
Kab is the one that needs to do some research! I would suggest that he start by reading "The China Study" by Campbell and Campbell. Also research John A. McDougall, M.D. and read his years of study about "limiting red meat". I don't agree that this is considered "junk science".
- February 15, 2010 at 7:39 pm(4) LeftLucy says:
Up to Daily: Lots of vegetables, especially cruciferous for their anti-inflammatory properties; berries and other low sugar fruit; Flax (I hate fish, I'd rather get my O-3s elsewhere); Avocado (5 times a week, helps the arthritits, really), although some would say this is too caloric, I believe the nurtritional offset is fantastic; eggs, eggs, eggs; nuts. Any kind of meat that is not overly processed (like deli).
Up to, at most, 3 times per week: Not overly carby other items. Lentils, barley, perhaps some oatmeal.
Yup, that's it.
- February 15, 2010 at 9:08 pm(5) ConnieWarner says:
Thanks- enjoyed that! I follow a somewhat lower carb diet. Here's what I try to follow:
(1) Eat Daily List: Broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, lean poultry or tempeh, apples/fruits, old fashioned oatmeal (with water and cinnamon only), nuts (almonds, walnuts), eggs, unsweetened cocoa powder/water drink, water, crushed red pepper, hot sauce
(2) Eat Three Times Per Week List: avocado, salad, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, cottage cheese, salmon, red grapes, soy sausage, spaghetti squash, sugar-free spaghetti sauce, tofu, onions, lime juice, green tea, vegetable broth
(3) Eat Once Per Week List (actually very rarely): red meat, dessert, plain yogurt, cheese, beans
(4) Eat Zero Times Per Week List: White flour, diet anything, soda, juice, coffee, alcohol, processed food (except for soy sausage), canned soups, butter, milk, bread, pasta, corn, popcorn, potatoes, fried food, pizza, fast food

I don't eat the type of fish that is recommended in Alton Brown's 3 x's a week list. Does anyone have any alternatives that would be nutritionally equivalent as the oily fish that I could eat instead of the fish?
- March 14, 2010 at 4:55 am(7) Ron says:
almonds, flax … you can get the same omega 3 as fish…and its safer than fish because you don`t know how much Mercury and other things are in fish…

Carbs are not the enemy, nor does insulin make you fat.
- March 28, 2010 at 5:09 pm(9) Aimee Gallo says:
I disagree with the flax instead of fish argument. Flax and vegetarian sources of omega-3 fats are in form called ALA. In order to reap the benefit of Omega-3s, they must be broken down and converted to DHA and EPA. Our body isn't very efficient at the conversion, so only 3-5% of the Omega 3s found in flax oil are converted to these beneficial compounds. The fish does the converting of algae to DHA/EPA for its own use, so when you consume fish or fish oil, you reap the benefits of getting the desired outcome without the "work".
Historically, when we raised livestock outside and foraged wild plants, we were getting enough omega 3s from varied sources despite our poor ability to convert. With poor quality soil and agriculture practices, PLUS the addition of inflammatory foods that were unknown to our ancestors, AND polluted cities, we simply cannot keep up.
I recommend taking supplemental fish oil from a reputable company (talk with knowledgeable workers at your local health food store) or health practitioner to being levels back to ideal while also mindfully consuming oily fish. Quality Fish oil is treated to have any heavy metals removed.

Love the article and I like how you asked others for feedback…
Just to make this more accurate, if you listen to what Alton says in the show, the three times a week list is actually an *AT LEAST *three times a week list.
I like this way a lot better. I can't imagine limiting myself to broccoli for 3 times a week for any reason.
I have loosely followed this mixed with some ideas from Eat This, Not That and have dropped 25 pounds in 13 weeks… right on my two pounds a week curve. Here's to hoping to hit my goal by Memorial Day!
- August 22, 2010 at 1:36 pm(11) Dinger says:
Actually, Alton said he did not drink milk because he is lactose intolerant, not because it reminded him of cookies (however the milk bottle was following him around with a plate of cookies). I drink fresh milk – some would say raw – and could not imagine having to give it up! It goes in the smoothie in place of the soy milk. We lived on soy for years because of my son, but, oh, gag! It was a joy to find he did not react to the raw milk, unlike the severe reactions he had to processed/pasteurized milk. Can't wait to try his technique.
- August 22, 2010 at 8:32 pm(12) lowcarbdiets says:
I was just going by what he said on the show. Thanks for sharing your experience with raw milk – I thinking about writing an article about that.

Actually he said he's not a Dietician or a doctor. Anyone who's passed a cooking school (which he did) or taken a short course can call themselves a nutritionist.
- July 28, 2011 at 5:49 pm(14) Daniela says:
Actually Kab, there is something to be said about limiting red meat. I have been studying nutrition for years and I have learned many harmful properties in association to the over consumption of red meat, or pork.
I admit if this said meat is organic, naturally raised on a diet that a cow can digest, then the meat should be able to be consumed more regularly then once a week, but the fact remains that the amount of protein contained in red meat is often not conclusive to many people's lifestyles. Too much protein is a bad thing. Moderation is the key with everything, even super healthy foods. Moderation and a healthy variety. I think you should check your facts before you start dissin' alton!
- July 28, 2011 at 5:52 pm(15) Daniela says:
Also a note on the article. Grains are a very substantial and an important part of a nutritious diet. To say they are not is almost blasphemy. For a vegetarian or vegan grains are the best way to get in protein, instead of consuming large amounts of soy which is overall damaging.
Quinoa is a super grain, a complete protein, and I would say is far more nutritious than any other substitute.
- July 28, 2011 at 6:39 pm(16) lowcarbdiets says:
Daniela -
I think your statements are worthy of a response, and I plan to write a blog about them soon – probably within the next week.

Ron you couldn't be more wrong. Insulin is the body's response to a bad diet, and will make you fat.
- December 13, 2011 at 12:55 am(18) Monica says:
I eat a similar diet except I would add nearly daily yellow crookneck squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, grapefruits, and pranges. 3 times per week quinoa or sashimi ahi tuna. Berries!!!! And egg whites romaine wrap with pick de gallo or vegetarian green chili for reakfadt. I run 7 miles 6 days per weekend do lighter exercise on other days. Also some low weight remaining

Antidepressants are a popular treatment choice for those with moderate or severe depression. Although antidepressants may not cure depression, they can reduce your symptoms. The first antidepressant you try may work fine. But if it doesn't relieve your symptoms, or it causes side effects that bother you, you may need to try another.
But don't give up. A number of antidepressants are available, and chances are you'll be able to find one that works well for you.
Finding the right antidepressant
There are a number of antidepressants available that work in slightly different ways and have different side effects. Most work equally well to relieve depression, so choosing the right one generally involves subtle differences. When prescribing an antidepressant that's likely to work well for you, your doctor may consider

That's a matter of the precision as defined by the Project Units (located on the Manage tab). "Wattage" by default is set to a precision of zero decimal places. In this dialog, set the 'Discipline:' pull-down to Electrical and then click on the button in the 'Format' column for Wattage.

Angelina: Brad has been 'extraordinary' since surgery
Angelina Jolie said Brad Pitt has been "extraordinary" after she underwent a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer.
Jolie, who discovered she was a carrier of the BRCA1 gene, said she was "feeling fine" during her first public engagement since the operation.
Speaking at the premier of Pitt's new film World War Z in Leicester Square, Jolie said: "He has been extraordinary. He's such a wonderful a man and wonderful father and I'm very, very lucky".

Scott Pilgrim may have beaten "The World" to get the girl of his dreams, but his box office debut was a nightmare thanks to the celluloid mercenaries from "The Expendables."
Sylvester Stallone's ensemble action movie, featuring five-time UFC Champion Randy Couture, was the number one movie at the box office this weekend, fending off Michael Cera and the "Pilgrim" graphic novel adaptation as well as a putrid chick-flick from Julia Roberts.
"The Expendables" grossed an estimated $35 million in its weekend debut.
As far as cinema bragging rights, it looks like Couture was a "Natural," outdrawing fellow UFC fighter Quinton Jackson as "B.A. Baracus" in June's "A-Team" movie.
"Rampage" had a plan that came together -- though probably not as well as he and the rest of the A-Team cast would have liked, as the soldiers gave up a fortune to Jackie Chan and his pint-sized co-star Jaden Smith in "The Karate Kid" remake.
"A-Team" opened in second place to a disappointing $26 million back on June 11.
See how "The Expendables" stacks up against the rest of the box office releases after the jump.
1. The Expendables $ 35 Million
2. Eat, Pray, Love $ 23.7 Million
3. The Other Guys $ 18 Million
4. Inception $ 11.4 Million
5. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World $ 10.5 Million
6. Despicable Me $ 6.8 Million
7. Step Up 3D $ 6.6 Million
8. Salt $ 6.4 Million
9. Dinner for Schmucks $ 6.3 Million
10. Cats & Dogs:... $ 4.1 Million
Next up for Randy Couture is a "Boxing vs. MMA" fight against James Toney at UFC 118: "Edgar vs. Penn 2" on Aug. 28 in Boston. For more on that upcoming contest click here.

Hey there, Weekend Drivers! I hope that everyone has settled properly into the new school year, I know that I have! And with the school year comes less travel, so Weekend Drive will start showcasing more destinations in CenLa! Over the summer, our episodes revolved around our Weeklong Vacation to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Now, however, we will be Going all around CenLa and the surrounding areas to show you hidden gems right in your very own backyard!
Be sure to tune in this Thursday, Sept. 15 on Jambalaya and at noon (and also on Sat. Sept. 17th at 7:27am during the Saturday Today show) to check out our latest local segment! Weekend Drive has "Gone Wild," at Gone Wild Safari in Tioga, LA! Talk about a fun family trip! We had an absolute blast, feeding, petting, and being with the animals up close! (Maybe a little bit too close!) It truly was a "hands on" episode!
And for the following week, be sure to tune into another episode on one of the best seafood joints in all of CenLa, Tunk's Cypress Inn! Now Tunk's is great for more than just my personal favorite seafood, (Stuffed Red Snapper, if you were wondering!) but also offers a great atmosphere to check the Tigers games on the lake and on the big screen! What can beat LSU football, seafood, and spending time with your family? How about LSU football, seafood, and spending time with your family on the beautiful Kinkaid Lake? Yeah, that's right… And the winner is: KINCAID LAKE and TUNK'S CYPRESS INN!
P.S. I leave you with an outtake from our latest Weekend Drive: Gone Wild Safari… This guy really wanted to be on camera! He also likes eating the camera in that last shot...

I have a client that is a pastor in some Pentecostal church and just yesterday he made an appointment to do his tax with me after July 1, and somehow the conversation turned to The Devil.
I made the comment that I do not believe that any such entity exists and that instead, I believe that the devil is an invention, someone to blame for our ills and perceived sins. To which he retorted If the devil is not real then whom did Jesus meet?. The meeting that he was referring to is the account in the gospels telling of the account where Jesus was tempted three times by the devil in the wilderness.
There are two renowned incidences in the bible where the devil is reported to have attempted to taunt another into committing a bad act. The story concerning Jesus mentioned above and the other is the account of Job.
If the devil is indeed a real being, then in regard to the two incidences mentioned, he was successful in his intent on one occasion and unsuccessful in the other and it this inconsistency that I believe provides the proof that the devil was never meant to be taken literally.

By MIKE KRAFCIK 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Wednesday's deadly church bus crash in Jefferson County had many people asking how church buses are regulated.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol told 6 News the state does not regulate them but bus owners are required to register with the U.S. Department of Transportation and undergo annual inspections if they travel across state lines.
THP says the Front Street Baptist Church bus did not have the required U.S. D.O.T. number.
"They're under the same requirements as any motor vehicles on a state highway would be, but there is no inspection," said Patrick Carroll, president of Freightliner, a truck manufacturer in Knox County.
The company performs annual federal inspections for commercial vehicles, including church buses.
"Most of our customers, if not all of our customers frankly, do more safety inspections than they're required to be with the DOT," said Carroll.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, church buses are required have an annual inspection, which looks at the brake system, steering, as well as the tires.
"The DOT inspection is a basic road worthiness guideline," said Carroll.
6 News checked around to see which area churches had a coach or charter bus similar to the church bus involved in Wednesday's accident in Jefferson County.
The Central Baptist Church of Bearden church bus was undergoing maintenance Friday at a West Knox County motorbus and RV repair shop.
A church official told 6 News annual inspections are performed and mileage logs are kept. The bus also got new tires.
Despite the lack of state regulation, Patrick Carroll believes enough regulations are in place. Church bus drivers are also required to have commercial drivers licenses.
Carroll says even if the Front Street Baptist Church bus was inspected, it may not have made a difference.
"You can inspect it, and maybe five minutes later, accidentally hit something in the road that caused a blowout, could have run over something in the road to cause a blowout, and the inspection wouldn't have prevented that accident," Carroll said.

Valleys girls give their hair the chop for charity
2:10pm Friday 26th October 2012 in News
TWO GIRLS are giving their hair the chop to raise funds for a charity which makes wigs for children who have lost their hair through cancer.
Kiah Procter, 10, took part in Tesco Risca's bid to raise money for Stand Up to Cancer, which is funding research into the disease.
The Cwmcarn Primary School pupil is giving her hair to the Little Princess Trust, which provides wigs for children affected by cancer.
The event on October 19 raised £190.
A further £494 was collected by members of staff having their legs waxed and customers who donated on the day.
Mum Zeita, 39, of Crosskeys, said: "It was really good and she enjoyed it."
Mia Stinton, seven, from Cwmbran, who suffers from cerebral palsy, faces an operation of her own on November 15, but still decided to raise funds for the Little Princess Trust.
Mia will have 17-20 inches chopped off leaving her with a short bob, when she takes on the challenge at the Six in Hand pub in Croesyceiliog on November 4.
Mia's mum, Zoe Buffin, 32, said: "When she saw a programme on TV about the Little Princess Trust she said she could see the children who had lost their hair looked quite sad and said she wanted to give some of her hair so 'they can smile as much as me'."

After last April's incident where armed ABC agents swept down on three University of Virginia students who'd done nothing worse than buy sparkling water at Barracks Road it seemed likely that the political pendulum would swing against the agency once the General Assembly convened.
Wednesday, two measures from 57th District Delegate David Toscano (D) are proof. Toscano joins a list of lawmakers who want to make sure what happened last spring never happens again.
"I think it's pretty clear that we want to tell the ABC that we didn't like what they did, and they shouldn't do it again," Toscano said.
It's the incident that marred Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control - a case of mistaken identity, over a case of sparkling water, where three UVA students on a late-night grocery run found themselves on the wrong end of a gun. It hit home for Toscano, and he wants to see some changes.
"It's really inappropriate for ABC to be using armed force to enforce underage possession," Toscano said.
Through new legislation, Toscano wants to prevent ABC special agents from using or threatening deadly force during an underage possession investigation.
"You have to enforce the laws, but you don't have to enforce them the way they did that day," Toscano said.
He joins a long list of lawmakers who want to see changes at ABC, from transforming the department's leadership structure to 25th District Delegate Steve Landes' (R) bill to study whether ABC needs its own enforcement unit at all.
"A lot of people expressed concern about how ABC proceeded - what they did, what they didn't do," Landes said.
But despite concern, Landes is skeptical of Toscano's proposal.
"They have to use deadly force sometimes, so we have to be careful and I think tread lightly when we're moving in that direction," Landes said.
Toscano says it would be up to ABC how it would develop new firearms policies but he maintains something should be done.
"We want to send a clear message that this is not going to be tolerated," he said.
Virginia ABC says it does not comment on proposed legislation.

Federal prosecutors have taken over the case against two Lake County men accused of running a large marijuana farm on a rural tract of land and sexually abusing a 15-year-old runaway.
Ryan Alan Balletto, 30, of Lakeport and Patrick Steven Pearmain, 24, of Clearlake were charged Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nandor Vadas in Eureka with conspiring to manufacture and distribute more than 1,000 marijuana plants and using a minor in a drug operation, U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said.
The allegations outlined in a July 16 complaint, which was unsealed Monday, reveal that the men are suspected of not only using the girl to trim marijuana buds but they are also suspected of using her for a variety of sexual acts and keeping her in a metal box.
Balletto has been under investigation as early as December 2011 by Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for suspected narcotics trafficking, the complaint said.
A Lake County sheriff's detective flew over Balletto's undeveloped 681-acre property in the Ogulin Canyon near Clearlake on April 12 and saw two greenhouses full of marijuana plants.
As the sheriff's narcotics unit planned to raid the property, they received a tip from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office that Balletto was believed to be holding a 15-year-old girl missing from the Los Angeles area at his Lake County property against her will, according to the complaint.
After deputies interviewed Balletto's girlfriend at his Zeno Road home, they received a call from a girl saying she was the missing juvenile and that she was, "Okay." Detectives traced her to a motel in West Sacramento where they found her with Pearmain, along with marijuana, prescription bottles, condoms and a pregnancy test.
The girl later told investigators that the sex she had with Pearmain was consensual and the sex she had with Balletto was "not as consensual" but that she engaged in sex with Balletto to "help him out," the documents stated. The investigators noted that because of the girl's age she is not legally able to consent to sex with an adult.

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - An issue over water is keeping the City of Monroe from growing, at least temporarily.
Tuesday night, the city council tabled a request to annex the Charleston Industrial Park into the city limits.
The owner wants water service quickly to continue construction, but city leaders want more information before agreeing to the request.
Bull dozers are busy moving dirt and construction workers are getting ready to start building the Southeastern Freight Lines building.
The question remains, will the business be in the City of Monroe or Ouachita Parish?
Gretchen Ezernack, district two representative, says "the city attorney had been working with him to prepare all of the paperwork for the annexation as well as trying to help them get this water line installed in the quickest amount of time possible."
Charleston Industrial Park owner, Kenny Anderson, wants to move the business into the city; but at last night's council meeting with a 3 to 2 vote they tabled the request.
Eddie Clark, district five representative, says "I voted to table the issue because we did not have all the information we needed to make a intelligent and informed decision based on the fact we were just given certain information."
The city has been working with Anderson to provide water to the construction site by the first of February.
Ezernack says, "the person they had been talking with got a very serious illness and had been away from the office for several months."
For that reason the information was given to the council members only a few days before the vote, but both sides agree this is a great thing for the city.
Ezernack says, "the amount of land that is there creates large industrial project which creates additional jobs which in turn obviously brings more income into the city, then you have the property taxes."
Clark says, "this would be a good project to annex into the city so I do believe that it will pass."
Clark wants to stress there is no threat of the parish losing any jobs or economic development at all.
City council members say they hope to have a decision by the end of this week.

Mark Danner Waves the Smoking Gun
Posted on May 4, 2006
New Yorker staff writer and Berkeley professor Mark Danner has a new book exploring America's scandalous indifference to the Downing Street Memo—the "smoking gun" that all but proves Bush was set on going to war in Iraq eight months before the actual invasion.

According to Kevin McKiernan, author of 'The Kurds: A People in Search of Their Homeland', speaking on C-span this past weekend, Rumsfield called in Kurdish leaders to his office a few weeks after 9-11 and told them they would soon be getting some "relief" from Saddam Hussein. This corroborates other reports that the Bush war criminals were intent on using the WTC attacks as an excuse to invade Iraq the minute they saw the towers come down. 9-11 shows that a significant number of Americans can be easily frightened and that war mongers are ready, willing and able to exploit this fear to their corrupt ends. Hitler demonstrated this very well in the 1930s.

City Councilman Richard Stewart won't let anyone forget that he's unhappy with stipend-paying commission appointments made by Mayor Tom Owings earlier this month.
Stewart at the Tuesday, Jan. 22, City Council meeting again expressed his disappointment in not being appointed to any commissions. He reiterated that he is insulted by the action, but will continue to try to be a "team player" and represent his constituents.
The discussion came after resident Deanna Reeder, who frequently attends council meetings, told Owings that he didn't fairly make the appointments. She also said that removing council members from stipend-paying commissions could affect their incomes.
Owings told Reeder that she didn't know what she was talking about. He also told Stewart that he would not change his mind, adding that Stewart would have to learn to deal with his decision.
"It does not need to the subject of every council meeting," Owings said.
He has said he based his appointments on council members' previous commission participation, preferences, availability and remaining time to serve their terms. He said it's been publicly stated that Stewart does not intend to run for re-election in 2014.
On Tuesday, Owings said made appointments based on what he thought would be best for the city, not for council members.
"That's insulting to me," Stewart said. "I don't think it was best for the city. Neither do my constituents."
He also said Owings response to Reeder was disrespectful.
"It's not a bully pulpit," Stewart said of Owings' position as mayor.
As Stewart spoke, residents at the meeting accused him of being disrespectful to them while he was mayor.
Owings said he will challenge anyone who does not have facts when addressing the council.
"You come to this City Council, you better have your facts," Owings said.
Stewart also took issue with Owings' humor when he joked earlier in the meeting that Stewart wanted to continue one of the agenda items. Stewart said he did not favor such a thing and told Owings that making the comment, even as a joke, was not appropriate.
"If you are kidding, leave me out of it," Stewart said. "I don't not want to be the butt of your jokes."
Owings said if Stewart didn't know he was kidding, he apologized.
Council members Marcelo Co and Jesse Molina said they did not think it is appropriate for their colleagues to criticize each other in public.

LG Nexus 5
Reviewed by ClarkDV (Currently owns)
This phone is certainly the greatest phone I have ever had. I owned a Nexus 4 for awhile, and tried the iPhone 5s to give iOS 7 a shot. Little to my surprise, it failed to impress. Though it had much-needed features such as Control Center and enhanced multitasking, it seemed inconsistent and the design aged fast. When I got my Nexus 5 from Google Play on Monday, it felt like I was home. As I removed it from the beautiful packaging and felt the back side, I instantly fell in love with the texture. I no longer had to worry about dropping the ice-slippery aluminum-back iPhone I had. It feels like a very sturdy and well-crafted device, and the plastic is nowhere near cheap feeling.
Upon using the device, I realized I finally had a phone that was wicked fast; unimpeded by slow animations (iOS) that make it feel like less is getting done. For me, the primary feature of the Nexus is certainly the software. I do not buy the Nexus line for the hardware (although I can say I do love it, and the form factor is the best for a 5 inch screen I have found). I love getting updates as instantly as possible, and the design brought forth in KitKat is beautiful. The new Roboto Condensed font, transparent menu bar and home buttons, and integration of "OK, Google" and Google Now as a home screen is incredible. While the 5s had some things that stood out, such as battery life and the camera, the benefits of the Nexus outweigh these. My phone is not my primary camera, and I don't think it ever should be. I do not need ultra high detailed photos (though it is nice) to upload to Facebook and such. But that's just my opinion. I believe the camera and battery life on the Nexus 5 are excellent; all you really need for any typical day.
The last and possibly biggest feature, for me, (and the many people I have shown) is the gorgeous display. At 1080p, the 5 inch, 445 ppi display is phenomenal. The first thing you may notice is how bright and accurate the colors are, and when you take a closer look, you will see how it is even crisper than Apple's Retina Display. Personally, I love that the screen looks like it is clinging on to the glass above it, rather than looking recessed like many other phones, and I love the great responsiveness as well.
All things aside, this phone is phenomenal. If you put past the minute (maybe not to some) hiccups in the camera and battery life, there are really no drawbacks. The up-to-date operating system, excellent build quality, elegant display, and roaringly fast processor put this phone next to none. And at only $350 out-of-pocket, the Nexus 5 is the best way to refill that empty stitching on your thigh.

As I was reading the paper this morning, a sigh of relief came over me when I found out the Pasqualoni has been fired. (sorry Paul, but I hear Century Village needs a coordinator)
The Dolphins have more talent on the defensive side of the ball than most teams in the NFL (bias aside) yet I believe we were the 22nd ranked defense in the league. Many people believe that football is a game played and won by the athletes on the field, but the truth is that some of those professional athletes don't have football smarts, especially on the defensive side. A good coordinator knows his talents and how best to use them and in my opinion, that was lost this season.
With the departure of Pasqualoni, there has been talk about potential candidates and finally some whispers of a new scheme.
Don't get me wrong, I do love a good 3-4 defense, but that defense is based on the idea of having athletic linebackers who can drop back in coverage, which Miami has no coverage LB. Argue all you want, but Taylor, Porter, Wake and Crowder are not the guys you want covering anything 15-20 yards past the line of scrimmage. These guys are pass rushers and should be used accordingly.
Whoever is hired as our new DC (I really like Zimmer from Cincinnati) I can only hope that he realizes that his players are better suited for a 4-3 defense. Don't forget that Miami did run a 4-3 many seasons ago when we were a top tier defense. We can only hope that we get signifanctly stronger on defense in the offseason (ie., signing Vince Wilfork and drafting Rolando McClain). Let us combine athletisism with football genius and rise to the top baby!

St George College, the first Greek Orthodox College in South Australia, is an independent, co-educational school catering for students from Pre-entry to Year 12. The College provides high quality education that is premised on the values, the ethos, the culture and beliefs that derive from the Orthodox faith.
Established in 1983, St George College operates under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia and overall responsibility for the College rests with the Greek Orthodox Community-Parish of St George Thebarton and Western Suburbs Inc in Adelaide, South Australia.
A Board of Governors appointed by His Eminence, Archbishop Stylianos, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in Australia on the recommendation of the Executive Committee of the Community-Parish of St George Thebarton and Western Suburbs Inc has responsibility for the governance of the College, including:
• The determination of its mission, purpose, ethos and culture.
• The selection, support for and performance assessment of the Principal.
• The determination of its goals and objectives, including the development of strategic planning for their achievement.
• Effective financial, capital and human resource planning that ensures the achievement of the mission and priorities of the College.
• The development of policies and practices that ensure legal and ethical compliance with a focus on transparent accountability.
Since its establishment St George College has increased both its enrolments and the range of year levels offered. In 1984, 31 students in Years 1 to 3 attended the College while in 2005 some 670 students from Pre-entry to Year 12 attend St George College. Similarly the College has expanded its facilities to include:
• Two campuses with all the required facilities for effective curriculum delivery appropriate to the teaching and learning needs and interests of students who are being prepared for further study and/or the world of work in ways that are appropriate to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
• A Pre-entry to Year 2 Junior School Campus that was officially opened in July 2001 and has state-of-the-art classrooms, library, information technology centre, arts facilities and dedicated spaces for small group teaching and learning activities for students with particular learning needs and interests.
• A recently completed Performing Arts and Sports Centre equipped to accommodate the learning and teaching needs of our drama curriculum including our school drama productions as well as meeting the needs for the delivery of a comprehensive physical education curriculum.
• Information Technology Centres specifically dedicated to meet the learning needs of students in the primary and middle years of schooling and the needs of students in the senior years of schooling.
• A newly refurbished Science Laboratory and a new Music Suite.
The substantial growth in enrolments and year levels experienced by the College over its relatively short yet impressive history is also mirrored in the expansion of the areas from which parents choose to enrol their children at the College. The College has students who come from the whole of the Adelaide metropolitan area with approximately 37% of students living in suburbs that may easily be classified as being outside the immediate catchment areas of the College.
The Greek Orthodox identification of the College continues to predominately attract students from Greek background. A noticeable increase has been achieved in the number of students who come from families where only one parent is of Greek background. A smaller but yet encouraging increase has been achieved in the number of students who come from Orthodox families but not necessarily of Greek background.
This growth in the number of students, the diversity of their background, the expansion of the College's catchment areas as well as the confidence of the Board of Governors to wisely invest in the expansion of the facilities of the College can be attributed to the following factors:
• The ever increasing confidence of parents in the quality, relevance and appropriateness of education that the College offers and its potential to successfully meet the future needs and aspirations of their children.
• The desire of parents to educate their children in an environment that values, affirms, nurtures and supports their linguistic, cultural and religious identity especially as bilingual Orthodox Australians.
• The strong commitment of parents to maintain and further develop the Modern Greek language particularly within the context of an ever-increasing number of marriages between Greek and non-Greek background Australians.
• The substantial capital expenditure undertaken by the Board of Governors that has led to improved teaching and learning facilities has increased parental confidence in the capacity of the College to plan for and provide high quality education within a safe, supportive and aesthetically pleasing environment.
• The impressive academic achievements of our Year 12 students has affirmed the College's ability to plan for and provide excellence in education and has increased parental confidence in the effectiveness of the teaching and learning programs offered by the College.
The increased social, cultural and linguistic diversity of our College community remains an important goal of St George College as it is an additional critical indicator of our commitment to the principles and dynamism of a multicultural Australia.
The planned and sustained efforts of the Board of Governors together with the quality partnership that exists with our parent Community and Parish of St George Thebarton and Western Suburbs, the staff and the parents of our College have provided the most appropriate foundations upon which the College can continue to build its future with confidence and success.BACK TO TOP
