Ensure that Gallaudet takes affirmative steps to improve student outcomes related to persistence.
|Action taken, but not completed
|Gallaudet has taken a number of steps to increase performance related to persistence, such as participation in the Foundations of Excellence in the First College Year program, a comprehensive self-study and improvement process focused on improving the first year experience of students as a means to improve persistence rates. The University is in the process of implementing the recommendations from the Foundations of Excellence report and setting up procedures to more closely monitor students.
Ensure that Gallaudet takes affirmative steps to improve student outcomes related to graduation.
|Action taken, but not completed
|Based on the recommendations of a work group established in 2007 to determine actions to improve student outcomes related to graduation and recommendations of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the University adoped a new admissions and enrollment management plan for school year 2007-08. The plan included higher standards for admission. The University believes that the changes made in fiscal year 2008 will ultimately lead to higher graduation rates for all programs.
Implement a new measure on post-school outcomes for students graduating from the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD).
|Action taken, but not completed
|In FY 2007, the Department added a new performance measure on the percentage of MSSD students who are employed, in postsecondary education or training, or not employed or in postsecondary education or training during their first year after graduation. The Department will collect initial data for this indicator in fiscal year 2008.
Develop targets for the efficiency measures related to Federal cost per successful outcome and total educational cost per successful outcome.
|Action taken, but not completed
|The Department, Gallaudet, and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf are working on options for determining appropriate targets for the Federal cost and total cost measures. For the purpose of these measures, a successful outcome is defined as graduation. Graduates include students receiving baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees, and graduate and specialist certificates.
Conduct a monitoring visit to Gallaudet in fiscal year 2008.
|Action taken, but not completed
|The Department conducted on-site monitoring visits to the Clerc Center in April 2008 and the University-level programs in June 2008 to examine compliance with applicable requirements, use of Federal funds, quality of program data, and performance of selected programs. This included a review of changes implemented in response to recommendations from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The Department expects to complete the monitoring reports by September 2008.
|Year Began
|Improvement Plan
The Department will develop a formal mechanism and schedule for monitoring the federally funded programs at Gallaudet for compliance with the Education of the Deaf Act.
|The Department has developed written procedures for regular monitoring activities related to University and Clerc Center programs and is working with Gallaudet to implement these activities. The Department conducted a major monitoring effort of the Clerc Center regarding the Education of the Deaf Act and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act provisions incorporated by reference into the EDA in November and December of 2006 and a monitoring of the university-level programs in April 2007.
The Department will take affirmative steps to assess the scope and quality of the programs at Gallaudet University that are funded through the appropriation to ensure that they are operating effectively, addressing their statutory purpose, and achieving results.
|The Department developed a monitoring plan for Gallaudet in fiscal year 2006 that was implemented in fiscal year 2007. This includes an on-site monitoring visit conducted in April, 2007.
Measure: The percent of first-time, full-time degree seeking undergraduate students who were in their first year of postsecondary enrollment in the previous year and are enrolled in the current year.
Explanation:The method for calculating the undergraduate student persistence rate has been changed from calculating the persistence of all undergraduates, including upperclassmen, who return from one fall semester to the next fall semester to calculating the first-year persistence of first-time, full-time students from the fall semester of their freshmen year to the next. The change would make the methodology for this measure consistent with the methodology used by IPEDS to measure persistence. The University has provided actual data using this methodology, which was used to set the target for FY 2007 and beyond. The methodology for the graduate student persistence measure has not changed and includes the rate of return for all graduate students enrolled in a program at Gallaudet. IPEDS does not track graduate student persistence.
Measure: The Gallaudet University graduate student persistence rate.
Explanation:Graduate student persistence rates are calculated as the ratio of the number of returning graduate students in a particular fall to the number of graduate students available to return the following fall.
Measure: The percentage of graduates who are employed (1st column), enrolled in advanced education or training (2nd column), or neither employed or enrolled in advanced education or training (3rd column) during their first year after graduation.
Explanation:The source of this data is institutional records based on an annual survey of the employment and advanced education status of students who have graduated from Gallaudet within the previous year.
Measure: The percentage of Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) graduates who are employed (1st column), in postsecondary education or training (2nd column), or not employed or in postsecondary education or training (3rd column) during their first year after graduation.
Explanation:he data on post-school outcomes is derived from an annual survey of students who graduated from MSSD the previous year. The percentages of students who are employed and percentage of students in postsecondary education or training during their first year after graduation may total more than 100% because some respondents may be employed while enrolled in a program of advanced education or training. This indicator replaces an indicator on employment and postsecondary education or training.
Measure: The number of programs and/or institutions adopting innovative curricula and other products or modify their strategies as a result of Model and Kendall school leadership will be increased.
Explanation:The figures represent the number of programs adopting Model/Kendall strategies or curricula.
Measure: Enrollments: The number of students enrolled in university-level programs (1st column) and the number of students enrolled in the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) and Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES)(2nd column).
Explanation:The FY 2008 target for the number of students enrolled in Gallaudet's university-level programs reflects a change in the method used to calculate graduate, graduate special, and professional studies student enrollments. The University made the change in order to eliminate potential double-counting. The new method was used in calculating enrollment for FY 2004 and beyond.
Measure: Federal cost per successful outcome, where the successful outcome is defined as graduation.
Explanation:The efficiency measure is calculated by dividing the Federal appropriation by the number of graduates in that school year. Federal student financial aid, vocational rehabilitation payments, other Federal support for students, Federal grants and contracts, tuition, and other private funds received by the University are not included in this calculation. Graduates include students receiving bachelor's degrees, graduate certificates, master's degrees, specialists, and doctoral degrees.
Measure: Total cost per successful outcome, where the successful outcome is defined as graduation.
Explanation:The efficiency measure is calculated by dividing the total annual student expenditures by the number of graduates in that school year. Graduates include students receiving bachelor's degrees, graduate certificates, master's degrees, specialists, and doctorate degrees. The cost is calculated as the total program budget excluding costs associated with research, public services, auxiliary enterprises, construction, and the Endowment Grant program.
Measure: The percentage of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students who graduate within six years of enrollment.
Explanation:This measure used the IPEDS methodology of the percentage of all incoming first-time, full-time, degree-seeking freshmen students in the fall semester who have graduated by the end of six years after entry.
Measure: The number of full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled at Gallaudet University.
Explanation:This measure includes the number of full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled at Gallaudet University, consistent with the IPEDS methodology
Measure: Enrollments: The number of students enrolled in graduate programs at Gallaudet University.
Explanation:This program includes all full- and part-time students enrolled in degree-granting programs at the certificate, master's, specialist, and doctoral levels.
Measure: Enrollments: The number of students enrolled part-time in degree programs or in non-degree granting programs at Gallaudet University.
Explanation:Starting in FY 2008, this measure was changed to cover all students not counted in IPEDS, including undergraduate students enrolled in the English Language Institute, graduate students enrolled in the professional studies program, which grants continuing education credit, and part-time students enrolled in degree granting programs.
Measure: Enrollments: The number of students enrolled in the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) and Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES).
|Section 1 - Program Purpose & Design
Is the program purpose clear?
Explanation: The Education of the Deaf Act spells out the purpose of the Federal appropriation for Gallaudet University, which is to provide education and training to individuals who are deaf and otherwise to further the education of individuals who are deaf. The appropriation provides partial support for university operations, which include a traditional liberal arts curriculum for students who are deaf and graduate programs in fields related to deafness for students who are deaf and students who are hearing. Gallaudet also conducts a wide variety of basic and applied deafness research and public service programs and provides communications training, counseling, and other support services for its students. In addition, Gallaudet operates two federally funded elementary and secondary education programs on the main campus of the University through its Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center and research and dissemination activities related to elementary and secondary education.
Evidence: The Education of the Deaf Act of 1986, as amended, sections 101 - 111.
Does the program address a specific and existing problem, interest, or need?
Explanation: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 have opened doors to higher education for individuals who are deaf throughout the country. However, some students are not able to achieve at regular institutions of higher education, even with appropriate accommodations. Gallaudet provides intensive specialized services for individuals who are deaf to assist these individuals to obtain a baccalaureate or advanced degree. In addition, some students who are deaf prefer the communications access and community aspects of an institution primarily serving individuals who are deaf. Gallaudet provides an option along the continuum of educational options. The Department requests funding for Gallaudet in order to promote educational options and help promote educational and employment opportunities for persons who are deaf.
Evidence: The Department conducted a 1994 study on Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Postsecondary Education which indicated that about 10% of these students who are enrolled in higher education attended Gallaudet. More recent data are not available. However, according to the Office of Special Education Programs' (OSEP), approximately 6,600 students with hearing impairments exited special education in school year 2001-02. The National Longitudinal Transition Study sponsored by OSEP estimates that approximately 67% of youth with hearing impairments enroll in some postsecondary education within 2 years of leaving high school and 37% enroll in a 4-year college. Applying these percentages would result in about 4,442 students enrolling in postsecondary school in 2002, with 2,442 students enrolling in 4-year colleges. In 2002, Gallaudet enrolled 315 new undergraduates, amounting to about 7% of the potential pool of students with hearing impairments and 13% of the students enrolled in 4-year colleges.
Is the program designed so that it is not redundant or duplicative of any other Federal, state, local or private effort?
Explanation: Gallaudet has been authorized to confer college degrees since 1864. For over a century, it was the only postsecondary option for persons who are deaf. However, there are many more opportunities today. For example, the Federal Government also supports the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), which provides postsecondary technical training and educational opportunities through the Rochester Institute of Technology. Also, while Gallaudet may be the only university totally devoted to serving students who are deaf, there are many public and private postsecondary educational options available for these students. The Department's 1994 study found approximately 1,850 institutions that provided special support services. These institutions served 4,520 deaf students, 7,770 hard of hearing students, and 7,750 students with hearing impairments. More recently, Gallaudet and NTID conducted a survey of college and career programs for students who are deaf and published a guide to programs that responded to the survey in 2001. This guide provided detailed descriptions of 126 postsecondary education programs around the country that have specialized programs for students who are deaf. However, this is just a subset of the schools that provide specialized services for their students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
Evidence: The Department's 1994 study on "Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Postsecondary Education;" Gallaudet and NTID's College and Career Programs for Deaf Students, 2001; and OSEP records.
Is the program design free of major flaws that would limit the program's effectiveness or efficiency?
Explanation: Department monitoring efforts indicate that Gallaudet operates in accordance with its authorizing legislation, the Education of the Deaf Act (EDA), and maintains appropriate management structures and procedures necessary to administer its programs. However, the EDA provides Federal funding to Gallaudet University without regard to the benefits of competition. The competitive process helps ensure program oversight and focus on performance. Without competition and with funding earmarked for Gallaudet, there is no direct Federal funding incentive for the University to improve program performance. The Department has not conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness or efficiency of Gallaudet's programs or whether the direct appropriation to Gallaudet is the best mechanism available to serve the target population. While enrollments at Gallaudet have declined over time, the bulk of the Department's dedicated dollars for postsecondary education for the deaf continue to go to Gallaudet.
Evidence: The Education of the Deaf Act and Department monitoring efforts, including reviews of annual reports, audits, and budget materials provided by the University and meetings with University staff.
Is the program design effectively targeted so that resources will address the program's purpose directly and will reach intended beneficiaries?
Explanation: The target population for this program is specified in statute - which is to provide training to individuals who are deaf and otherwise to further the education of individuals who are deaf. The University served 324 elementary and secondary education, 1,207 undergraduate, 451 graduate, and 176 professional studies students in school year 2004-05 and maintains a communication-barrier free campus. Department reviews of written materials and meetings with University staff indicate that all of Gallaudet programs are targeted toward individuals who are deaf and the majority toward the key purposes of providing training to individuals who are deaf and otherwise furthering the education of individuals who are deaf.
Evidence: The Education of the Deaf Act and Department records.
|Section 1 - Program Purpose & Design
|Section 2 - Strategic Planning
Does the program have a limited number of specific long-term performance measures that focus on outcomes and meaningfully reflect the purpose of the program?
Explanation: The Department and Gallaudet have agreed on two long-term performance measures, which are that, by 2008, the persistence rate for undergraduate students will reach 80% and the undergraduate graduation rate will reach 48%, and the graduate student and Model Secondary School for the Deaf persistence and graduation rates will be increased or maintained. These measures are closely tied with the purpose of the program, significant, directly relate to student outcomes, and are quantifiable. In addition, the University is providing data on the percentage of its graduates who are employed or in advanced education or training during the first year after graduation. For fiscal year 2006, the target is for 82% of June 2005 graduates to be employed and 41% in advanced education or training within a year after graduation. The percents total more than 100% because some respondents were employed full-or part-time and enrolled in advanced degree programs. We note that the above outcome areas cover the largest programs administered by the University. However, they do not represent all significant Gallaudet activities. Additional information reviewed in 2006 indicates that adequate data on outcomes related to the national mission and educational activities of the Clerc Center are not available. This program represents a sizable amount of funding and effort for the University. In addition, we believe better measures and data may be possible for post-school outcomes.
Evidence: The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) data submitted by the University.
Does the program have ambitious targets and timeframes for its long-term measures?
Explanation: The University has established ambitious targets and time frames for its long-term performance measures. For example, the undergraduate graduation rate in fiscal year 2005 was 42%. However, the target for 2005 was 46%. In addition, the target of 48% by 2008 represents a significant increase. In order to meet the target for 2008, the actual graduation rate would have to increase an average of 2% per year for the next three reporting periods. The persistence rate for undergraduate students in 2005 was 76%, a 3 point jump from the rate for the prior year and the highest rate ever reported for the institution. However, the target for 2005 was 79% and goes up to 80% in 2008.
Evidence: Gallaudet's annual report and Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) data submitted by the University.
Does the program have a limited number of specific annual performance measures that can demonstrate progress toward achieving the program's long-term goals?
Explanation: Gallaudet annually submits data related to the long-term measures of persistence rates, graduation rates, and employment and participation in advanced educational programs. In addition, the University reports on other annual performance measures that contribute to the success of the long-term measure, such as enrollment targets. Data on total educational and Federal costs per successful graduate are also available that can be used as indicators related to understanding program efficiency. The above data covers outcomes related to the largest programs administered by the University. However, we believe that better measures and improved data may be possible related to the national mission and educational activities of the Clerc Center and post-school outcomes for students.
Evidence: GPRA and other data submitted by the University.
Does the program have baselines and ambitious targets for its annual measures?
Explanation: The University has baseline figures for all annual performance measures, and most of the targets are ambitious, as measured against current performance levels. As discussed in question 2.2, the long-term measures related to persistence rates, graduation rates, students who are employed or enrolled in advanced education during the first year after graduation increases have ambition targets and timelines. These measures also serve as annual measures. In addition, Gallaudet enrolled 1,207 undergraduate students in 2005. The target for this measure for 2005 and 2006 is 1,250. The undergraduate persistence rate for 2005 was 76% and target 79%. The targets for use of the demonstration schools' expertise had a target of 41 programs and/or institutions adopting curricula or other products from these programs, which was exceeded in 4 of the 5 past years. However, the target for fiscal year 2005 and beyond has been increased to 55, which is closer to recent performance levels.
Evidence: GPRA data submitted by the University.
Do all partners (including grantees, sub-grantees, contractors, cost-sharing partners, and other government partners) commit to and work toward the annual and/or long-term goals of the program?
Explanation: These measures have been in effect for several years, and Gallaudet is committed to improving its graduation rates and the post-graduation outcomes for students. The Department has worked collaboratively with the University in developing performance measures and meaningful long-term program goals and continues to work with Gallaudet on modifying the measures and determining appropriate levels of performance. In addition to providing performance data, Gallaudet reports on its efforts toward meeting its performance goals.
Evidence: GPRA data submitted by Gallaudet, other University reports and data submissions, and meetings between Department and Gallaudet staff.
Are independent evaluations of sufficient scope and quality conducted on a regular basis or as needed to support program improvements and evaluate effectiveness and relevance to the problem, interest, or need?
Explanation: Accreditation reviews are critical to ensuring that the breath of offerings and quality of university programs are appropriate, and Gallaudet currently meets all accrediting standards (in November 2006, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Higher Education raised some concerns about Gallaudet's compliance with some standards and is in the process of working with Gallaudet to review the University's status). Accreditation is a basic requirement that all higher education institutions must meet. The PART assessment does not make any judgments regarding the quality of the academic programs at Gallaudet. The purpose of this question is to ensure that the program or agency conducts unbiased evaluations on a regular or as-needed basis to fill gaps in performance information. These evaluations must be unbiased and independent, of high quality and sufficient scope, and conducted on a regular basis to support program improvement. The Federal Government has not conducted evaluations of the Federally funded programs at Gallaudet to evaluate effectiveness and relevance to the problem, interest, or need addressed by the program or evaluated the return on the investment of Federal resources. To receive a "yes," the Department must demonstrate that it has chosen and applied evaluation methods that provide the most rigorous evidence of the program's effectiveness that is appropriate and feasible. The evaluation should address areas such as the effectiveness of the University's programs and how well the University is addressing its statutory purpose and the needs of its service population. We note that the President's budget request for fiscal year 2007 includes $600,000 a study to identify barriers to and strategies for improving the University's attainment of desired student outcomes.
Evidence: GAO reports and Department records.
Are Budget requests explicitly tied to accomplishment of the annual and long-term performance goals, and are the resource needs presented in a complete and transparent manner in the program's budget?
Explanation: The Department is not able to determine the impact of particular levels of funding on the performance of the University in relation to its annual and long-term performance measures. In addition, budget requests from Gallaudet are incremental in nature over the prior year's total. The Department reports on performance data submitted by the University, but its budget requests are not explicitly tied to accomplishment of the annual and long-term performance goals for Gallaudet.
Evidence: Department budget requests and justifications and GPRA data.
Has the program taken meaningful steps to correct its strategic planning deficiencies?
Explanation: The Department has identified strategic planning deficiencies and worked with Gallaudet to address these deficiencies. For example, the Department and Gallaudet have been actively involved in developing and modifying performance measures for the program. In addition, as progress is made on achieving annual and long-term measures, targets are reassessed and revised, as indicated. The program office participated in a series of meetings with Gallaudet in fiscal years 2004 and 2005 to reevaluate existing measures and examine alternate means to assess performance.
Evidence: GPRA data and Department records.
|Section 2 - Strategic Planning
|Section 3 - Program Management
Does the agency regularly collect timely and credible performance information, including information from key program partners, and use it to manage the program and improve performance?
Explanation: The Department regularly receives high quality performance data in a timely manner from the University. Gallaudet and the Department actively collaborate in the process of developing performance goals and measures. While Department budget requests are not explicitly tied to accomplishment of the annual and long-term performance goals for Gallaudet, the Department uses the data in monitoring activities and to help inform its budget requests for the program. For example, the Department reviews all data submitted by Gallaudet and follows up on any inconsistencies or programmatic concerns with the University.
Evidence: GPRA, annual report, and budget submission data. YES 11%
Are Federal managers and program partners (including grantees, sub-grantees, contractors, cost-sharing partners, and other government partners) held accountable for cost, schedule and performance results?
Explanation: Department of Education employees are subject to the EDPAS system, which links employee performance to success in meeting the goals of the Department's strategic plan. Staff associated with this program are provided individual performance agreements that are designed to measure the degree to which the employee contributes to improving program performance. The University is also monitored on an annual basis through reviews of annual data submissions and periodic meetings.
Evidence: Department records.
Are funds (Federal and partners') obligated in a timely manner, spent for the intended purpose and accurately reported?
Explanation: At the Federal level, all funds are obligated according to an annual spending plan that is established at the beginning of the fiscal year. At the program level, funds are obligated within the timeframe set by the Department, and there are no carryover funds beyond that period.
Evidence: The Department's Office of Management records (Grants Administration Program System (GAPS) and e-Monitoring).
Does the program have procedures (e.g. competitive sourcing/cost comparisons, IT improvements, appropriate incentives) to measure and achieve efficiencies and cost effectiveness in program execution?
Explanation: The Federal Government substantially subsidizes the cost of educating students who are deaf at Gallaudet University. In 2004, the estimated average cost per university-level student was approximately $45,510, and Federal Appropriation represented about 65% of Gallaudet's total revenue at the university level. Two efficiency measures have been developed for this program related to total educational cost per graduate and Federal cost per graduate. These measures will assess already existing data. The Department does not have formal procedures to measure and achieve efficiencies and cost effectiveness in program execution. However, Gallaudet has an extensive budget development process, including a vetting process for all new research projects. The University submits reports on its budget process and research endeavors annually to the Department.
Evidence: Department records and materials submitted by Gallaudet.
Does the program collaborate and coordinate effectively with related programs?
Explanation: The Office of Special Institutions (OSI) is part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). OSI and the Office of Special Education Programs, also within OSERS, are collaborating to conduct a major monitoring effort of the Clerc Center elementary and secondary education programs, planned for the fall of 2006. The monitoring will include the Center's compliance with the Education of the Deaf Act (EDA) and with Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provisions applicable to Gallaudet through reference in the EDA. The Department has announced the monitoring and will be providing technical assistance to the Clerc Center on the 2004 Amendments to the IDEA. OSI has also begun to meet with staff from the Office of Postsecondary Education responsible for Howard University and is participating in an interagency committee on early childhood education related to individuals who are deaf. At the program level, Gallaudet participates in the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area and has a relationship with the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, the Federal Regional Postsecondary Education Programs for the Deaf, and all of the major national deafness organizations. In addition, the Clerc Center provides outreach, technical assistance, and training to elementary and secondary education programs throughout the nation that serve students who are deaf.
Evidence: Department records and information provided by Gallaudet University.
Does the program use strong financial management practices?
Explanation: The Department has a system for identifying excessive drawdowns, and can put individual grantees on probation. This would require Departmental approval of all grantee drawdowns. ED uses a number of tools and practices to ensure strong financial management. ED has strengthened its financial management practices, as recommended by GAO in September of 2004, by implementing e-Monitoring on December 22, 2004. E-Monitoring is a new software tool that enables grant program staff to better monitor their grants and helps to prevent potential fraud, waste, and abuse. At the program level, Gallaudet arranges for an annual independent financial and compliance audit of the programs and activities of the University. No internal control weaknesses have been reported by the auditors.
Evidence: Program financial management records in the GAPS and e-Monitoring systems; GAO's final audit report entitled "Low-Income and Minority Serving Institutions: Department of Education Could Improve Its Monitoring and Assistance" (GAO-04-961); the Gallaudet University audited financial statements, as required by the EDA and OMB Circular A-133; and other Department records.
Has the program taken meaningful steps to address its management deficiencies?
Explanation: The Department is developing written procedures for monitoring activities related to university level programs and the Clerc Center and is working with Gallaudet to implement these activities. In addition, the Office of Special Institutions and Office of Special Education Programs are planning a major monitoring effort of the Clerc Center regarding the Education of the Deaf Act and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act provisions incorporated by reference into the EDA for the fall of 2006. In addition, we note that the University has followed up on all audit findings from the 2005 audit, and the Office of Special Institutions has reviewed these actions. The Department also took affirmative actions to address outstanding issues related to hearing undergraduate students at the University and has begun meetings to coordinate efforts between the OSI and Office of Postsecondary Education.
Evidence: Data and annual audits submitted by the University and Department records.
Does the program have oversight practices that provide sufficient knowledge of grantee activities?
Explanation: The Office of Special Institutions (OSI) and Budget Service communicate frequently with University representatives, including the Budget Director, Provost, and Clerc Center staff. The liaison officer is an ex-officio member of the Clerc Center's advisory board, which provides guidance on priorities and operations of the Center. The Department requires the University to submit a detailed annual budget, which includes responses to a substantial number of questions on University operations and priorities. Gallaudet provides detailed responses to Department requests for program information throughout the year and a number of annual reports, including the annual report required by the EDA, an enrollment report, a copy of the University's annual independent audit, and a research report. Gallaudet also submits annual updates to the Department's GPRA plan for the institution. The Department is developing written procedures for regular monitoring activities related to university level programs and the Clerc Center and has met with Gallaudet twice to discuss implementation of these activities. In addition, OSI and the Office of Special Education Programs are planning a major monitoring effort of the Clerc Center regarding the EDA and IDEA provisions incorporated by reference into the EDA.
Evidence: Program records, reports submitted by the University, and Gallaudet's annual budget submission.
Does the program collect grantee performance data on an annual basis and make it available to the public in a transparent and meaningful manner?
Explanation: Detailed performance data are collected annually and shared with Congress through the budget process. GPRA data are posted on the Department website and provided to Congress. In addition, entries on the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services website provide a link to Gallaudet. Data are also available through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
Evidence: The Department's justification materials submitted to Congress, website link, and GPRA and IPEDS data. See: www.ed.gov/about/reports/annual/2005plan/edlite-eda-gallaudet.html; www.gallaudet.edu/; nces.ed.gov/ipeds/
|Section 3 - Program Management
|Section 4 - Program Results/Accountability
Has the program demonstrated adequate progress in achieving its long-term performance goals?
Explanation: Data reported by Gallaudet indicates that, while the persistence rate for undergraduate students did not meet its target in 2005 or prior years, it reached its highest level in 2005. In addition, the rate for graduate students exceeded the target. The rates for both undergraduate and graduate students also exceeded the average Title IV eligible institutions rate of 67%. Regarding graduation rates, the rate for undergraduate students did not meet the FY 2005 target and has remained stagnant from many years. The rate for graduate students exceeded the target and far exceeded the average for Title IV eligible institutions of 53.8%. However, the undergraduate rate was well below the Title IV average. Gallaudet only met the graduation rate target for MSSD students once in the past 5 years. For employment and participation in advanced educational opportunities, the percentage of students who were employed during the first year after graduation declined each year between 2001 and 2005. The percentages for participation in advanced educational opportunities have also declined. While the above outcome areas cover the largest programs administered by the University, they do not represent all significant Gallaudet activities. Additional information reviewed in 2006 indicates that better measures and data may be possible related to the national mission and educational activities of the Clerc Center. This program represents a sizable amount of funding and effort for the University. In addition, we believe better measures and data may be possible regarding post-school outcomes.
Evidence: GPRA data submitted by the University.
Does the program (including program partners) achieve its annual performance goals?
Explanation: As discussed in question 4.1 and as indicated in the Department's GPRA reports, Gallaudet has demonstrated mixed performance regarding the targets for students in the key measures of persistence, graduation rates, and post-school outcomes. Regarding other annual measures, graduate enrollments have been well below their targets, but enrollment in undergraduate and professional studies programs met their targets in 2005. The 2005 enrollment in MSSD exceeded the target for the first time in many years. However, the graduation rate for MSSD students was under the target for the fourth year in a row. The number of programs adopting demonstration school strategies/curricula exceeded the target for 2005 and the 3 prior years. The above outcome areas cover the largest programs administered by the University. However, we believe that better measures and improved data may be possible related to the national mission and educational activities of the Clerc Center and post-school outcomes for students.
Evidence: GPRA data submitted by Gallaudet University - www.ed.gov/about/reports/annual/2005plan/edlite-eda-gallaudet.html
Does the program demonstrate improved efficiencies or cost effectiveness in achieving program goals each year?
Explanation: Gallaudet has significantly increased private revenue over time through increases in tuition and fees. Over the past 20 years, the University has increased tuition from $2,024 to $9,630. During this period, the percentage of total funding represented by the Federal appropriation has continuously declined as a percentage of its total operating income, from 85% in 1985 to 69% in 2005. For its first 150 years, all major construction programs at Gallaudet were funded by Federal appropriations. For the past 15 years, all major construction projects at Gallaudet have been funded either by cost sharing with the Federal government, or, as in the case of the last two buildings constructed on the campus, by privately raised funds alone. Fund raising efforts include a recent 3-year capital campaign that resulted in $40 million in donations, and the University is in the midst of another capital campaign. Over the past 18 years, the University's endowment increased from $10 million to $165 million, and operating income from investment now exceeds $4 million annually. The University's current five-year financial plan includes a review of anticipated revenues and expenditures and sets targets for growth in non-Federal revenues. The University undertook a long term staffing reduction program beginning in 1990. The University continues to maintain a strong position control process, and employee numbers have been stable during the past 3 years. The total number of employees on-board in 2005 was 1,138, which is 306 or 21% fewer than in 1989. The University also has been gradually reallocating administrative resources to program funding. Despite increased costs in a number of administrative areas, institutional support declined by 12% between 2002 and 2005. Two efficiency measures have been developed for the University level programs related to total educational cost per graduate and Federal cost per graduate. The measures use already existing data and baselines have been determined. However, targets have not been established for these measures. Sufficient data are available to determine that management practices have resulted in improved efficiencies or cost effectiveness in the operations of this program. While many of the efforts described above were not limited to the past year, they show an ongoing commitment to private fund raising and cost containment efforts. However, the Department and Gallaudet need establish targets and determine how the efficiency measures will be used.
Evidence: Annual budget submission and supplemental data submitted by Gallaudet University.
Does the performance of this program compare favorably to other programs, including government, private, etc., with similar purpose and goals?
Explanation: There are no comparable programs at the institutional level. The Federal Government provides direct funding to one other institution that serves postsecondary students who are deaf. That is the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. However, students at NTID participate in different types of programs than at Gallaudet and at different levels. NTID is part of the Rochester School of Technology, whereas Gallaudet is a freestanding institution. NTID provides technical degrees at the diploma, associate, and baccalaureate degree levels, with the majority of its students at the associate degree level or below. Gallaudet serves liberal arts students at the baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degree levels. No data are available to compare Gallaudet's outcomes or costs to other programs that serve postsecondary students who are deaf.
Evidence: N/A.
Do independent evaluations of sufficient scope and quality indicate that the program is effective and achieving results?
Explanation: The Department conducted a descriptive study of the University that was completed in 1993, and the General Accounting Office conducted a number of studies related to Gallaudet: (1) Educating Students at Gallaudet and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf: Who are Served and What are the Costs? (1985); (2) Costs and Student Characteristics at Federally Assisted Schools (1986); and (3) The National Mission of Gallaudet's Elementary and Secondary Schools (1987). However, these analyses were primarily descriptive, were limited in scope, and are no longer current. There have not been any studies or evaluations of the scope of Gallaudet's programs or how well the University is addressing its statutory purpose or the needs of its service population. We note that the Department has requested $600,000 for fiscal year 2007 to conduct a study to identify barriers to and strategies for improving Gallaudet's performance related to student outcomes.
Evidence: GAO reports and Department records.

LA chowhound visiting calgary: looking for local specialties
- m
- modernist Feb 25, 2005 04:37 PM
ill be in calgary from the 15th-22nd of march.
i live in LA where we have strong ethnic communities and representative foods (thai, vietnamese, japanese, chinese, korean, armenian, persian) these are the foods i eat most frequently.
however, i want to check out what calgary has that is indigenous. i really know very little about the city. i imagine there must be the quintessential calgary steak house experience, with beef aging in glass windows or something like that. i dont need high end dining. just good grub. ill still check out foods that we have in la if its really special.
any other populations that might be better represented than los angeles?
essentially im looking for something that is really special. ie. a lithuanian church that serves sunday lunches, polish pani's who make sell kielbasa out of their home that kinda thing. doesnt have to be high end foodie, but very local calgarian. might be wishful thinking on my part.
ill also be skiing lake louise and banff so if theres anything there thats good that would be cool too!
cheers in advance. i know its kind of a wishful and demanding list.
Your question is a great one; it's very hard to answer.
There is a quintessential Calgary steak house: it's Caesar's, on 4th Avenue S.W. It's worth going for the steak and not a lot else to my mind. The small filet, or the 12 oz rib eye is what i'd probably have. It's also in the best tradition to eat in the bar with the oil service guys at lunchtime. Never order the bearnaise; the last time i had it it was made by the knorr-swiss company, I think.
I think you really must eat at the River Cafe, because of the ambience, and the fact that you must walk there. It's got the most lovely setting of any restaurant I've ever been to.
You MUST have lunch at Spolumbo's, in Inglewood. They started the local Italian sausage craze; also check out Lina's on Centre St North for fantastic Italian food.
I'd make sure I went for at least one Vietnamese meal, and the my favourite two places are Trong Khanh, on Centre St North, and Sunny Vietnamese, on 2nd Ave in Chinatown.
Speaking of Chinatown, Calgary has a venerable one, and the best restaurant IMO is the Harbour City. Go at night, and take the waiter's recommendation. Last time, we had snow pea tips which were fantastic. You should probably order some ginger beef, as it is a Calgary specialty, although it's not my favourite thing.
The best Central European food I know is at Ukranian Fine Food on Cleveland Cres SE; it's only open for lunch weekdays, but they have the best borscht, great perogies, and large and flavourful cabbage rolls.
For Indian food, you should try Glory of India downtown, but my absolute favourite place is the Skylark, on 17th Ave. SE. It's wonderful, and their spinach is out of this world.
Out of town, in Canmore you must go to the Quarry on Main Street, Crazy weed kitchen, and also check out Valbella meats, which has the best cold meat around.
If you're going to go crazy one night, splurge at Eden, at the Rimrock hotel in Banff. It's the best restaurant in Southern Alberta, for my money. It's probably better to order the wine directly from the list though rather than order the wine / food pairings.
Have fun; it's great eats here now, and it wasn't always.
re: Miles
I'm from Vancouver and every time I visit Calgary I have to go to the River Café. It's got such an elegant and relaxed atmosphere and the food is incredible. I also love the Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff. The secret to a great meal there is that if there's only two or three of you, you can sit in front of the fire in the lobby under the antler chandelier-can't get much more Albertan than that!
If you're flush with cash-stay at the Lodge and soak in the outdoor hot tub after dark. Sneak in a flask of your favorite whiskey and reeelax!
As for ethnic-the first Moroccan food I had was in Calgary. Is that joint still there?
re: Zucchini Mama
l will be in Calgary for a day and a half in May prior to a Canadian Rockies tour, coming from LA as well and staying at the Palliser.
Are any of the above recs withing a walking distance and since l won't have a car, how does one get around in Calgary.
l will only have time for one b/l/d. . . although l love ethnic snacks.
What's the "le must de Calgary"?
Thank you in advance.
Calgary is a very multicultural city (the cowboy stereotype is one of the most inaccurate of any place I have ever lived or visited), and the largest "visible minority" ethnic communities are Chinese, East Indian, Filipino, and Arab; living in SoCal you have doubtless discovered that Filipino has not evolved as a restaurant cuisine to the extent of other ethnic options, but Chinese, Indian and Middle-Eastern restos abound here and there are absolutely outstanding examples of all three. However the ethnic cuisine par excellence in Calgary is Vietnamese, ranging from cheap and homey noodle houses like Co Do on 17th Ave SW (my fave, and having just moved house I am a block away!) and too many others to mention, to upscale Viet and Viet fusion places like Passion and The Orchid Room.
My faves for the others:
Chinese: Harbour City for Hong-Kong style especially dim sum; Han's for Taiwanese including the best spicy beef noodle soup I've had at a Taiwanese joint;
Indian: I now live close enough to Moti Mahal that I can smell it on my front porch and so I've rediscovered it and its baigan barta is amazing... I also like Glory of India and Dawat.
Middle Eastern: For shawarma, Shawarma King, Felafel King, Pita Express (Burns Bldg by Olympic Plaza), A and A; for non-shawarma (ie, stews, plates, matluba and the like), Aida's and Babylon.
Calgary ain't all steak, not by a long shot.
Here are a few spots in the downtown area or close to that not only offer wonderful food, but great service and a great atmosphere:
-River Cafe- located downtown in Prince's Island Park. Serves both lunch and dinner as well as weekend brunch. Unique, upscale (not too expensive), great food and a wonderful atmosphere. "We seek out the best of our region, serving organic and free-range products from local farmers and producers and from our organic garden at Highwood Crossing in High River". See menu and highlights at:
Any of the CRMR restaurants are very good. http://www.crmr.com/. My favorite is CILANTRO (located on 17th ave SW) A very upbeat, trendy atmosphere with outstanding food - my favorite is the Fresh pear & gorgonzola cheese pizza @ $13 has to be one of the best deals in town. For more information on Cilantro see link below.
For a quick, cheap bite to eat try SPOLUMBO'S Italian Deli. It is located in Inglewood and offers the best sandwich is town. A few highlights: Calabrese Salami Sandwich, Spolumbo's Spicy Italian Sausage served on a crusty bun with fresh tomato sauce. The menu is endless. They offer daily specials as well as salads, pasta's and you can also create your own sandwich. They serve lunch Monday - Saturday from 11 - 5:30. For more information and to read up on the history of Spolumbo's check out their website at:
Being fairly familiar with LA's food scene, im going to go a bit against the trend and suggest that you *not* bother with foods you are familiar with. While Calgary is definitely growing into a more metropolitan, more culturally diverse city, the quality of certain types of food just do not exist - whether it's for population reasons, or because of the lack of fresh ingredients.
For example, i wouldn't waste your time on Chinese food. You won't experience the diversity of styles, dishes, or the value you would find dining in LA. It's not to knock the Chinese restaurants here, but there's likely hundreds of better alternatives in LA. Mexican, Ethiopian, Korean, Taiwanese and probably a few others I would also avoid.
Now, not all is lost. There are several things that Calgary does very well. And these are definitely worth trying.
Firstly is meat: beef is the best known, but the quality of the lamb, and of farmed game (bison/buffalo, ostrich, elk, moose, deer) rivals meat from anywhere else in the world. Primarily grain-fed, the meat is tender, with good marbling, and phenomenal flavour.
I would recommend a few experiences - one for beef, and one for game.
For beef, I agree with Miles that Caesar's is the quintissential experience. I'd go with the Rib-Eye as well, but I do not think it is the best prepared beef in Calgary. In many heated arguements, I've heard Hy's Steakhouse (which i dislike), Carvers, Gaston's, and the Owl's Nest all thrown out as the best place in town. Regardless of where you choose, know it won't be cheap nor expensive, and will be of good quality.
For game, there are several options. I think JWh recommended the Canadian Rocky Mountain Resort restaurants - and they have some excellent choices. Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff has an excellent selection of game, but is not cheap. I personally like Divino better than Cilantro's, but that's a lot like comparing different taco stands - it's all great, but all personal preference. Murietta's, not a CRMR restaurant but of good quality, often carries game on the menu as well.
River Cafe is both a great Canadian dining experience, with some excellent canadian-fusion dishes (with Game available). It's on everyone's list, and is well deserved though i find it a bit pricey for the quantity. The quality can't be argued though.
Other places that serve excellent game is the Ranche, Bear's Den, and Wildwood. Wildwood is a brew pub/restaurant, and is very Canadian. I'd recommend sitting downstairs in the pub, having a few pints of your favorite malted beverage, and eating some solid regional cuisine. I've heard mixed reviews about Bear's Den, but it's supposedly quite good. I like the Ranche, but it can be a bit inconvenient to get to.
Other good options in Calgary are Vietnamese (though not significantly different than LA), Mediterranean, and Italian. The Vietnamese is pretty much on every block, and of varying quality. There is a very large immigrant Italian population, which has resulted in some phenomenal regional Italian cuisine. From Tuscan, to Mediterranean, to the heavy-handed Sicilian dishes, there's a lot of Italian variety here, many of good quality. I wouldn't bother with Greek - for the most part, i find it a bit too formulated, and predictable (except for Piato - which is Greek influenced fine dining, and very excellent). The lebanese however, more than hold up their side of the sea. Sahara (restaurant), and the multitudes of Falafel/Shawarma places are all excellent.
Eastern/Central European is a fairly large presence, primarily Ukranian in Alberta, but is sadly better represented in Edmonton. Ukrainian Fine Foods is the only place i also know of in town, and i find quite inconvenient to eat there.
For things that don't really fit, I'd recommend Spolumbo's for sure. I'd also try and find some things that are Canadian - poutine (fries, cheese, and gravy - better than mayo folks!) is a must try when in Canada. Grab breakfast at the Siding Cafe, Diner Deluxe, or Pfffantastic Pannenkoek House. They are all worth trying. The Grizzly House in Banff is European Fondue (something not readily available in the SoCal region), and heavy, expensive, but a good dining experience.
As for Canmore, im a big fan of CrazyWeed, and of Chef Studio Japan. It's probably my favorite restaurant in all of Alberta. The quality of the fish is phenomenal, and the presentation, and cooked foods are awesome.
Anyway, I hope that helps. If you have additional questions, fire away. Don't forget to try the wide variety of local beers. From micro-brews, to products from Wild Rose, Big Rock, we produce some of the best ales and lagers around.
Well, you've gotten great replies from all the Calgary heavyweights. I hope to hear back a report from where you ended up going here in town. In the spirit of your request I would add the following recco's:
Despite Yen's statement about ethnic cuisine, I would still promote Vietnamese in general as a good quick lunch. Our Korean isn't going to touch on LA, but our vietnamese will likely outshine.
Adding to that, the greatest local "downlow" cuisine that I can think of:
Udon at Cafe De Tokyo off Centre Street. It's a great, dive restaurant with a mom and pop owner/operator team.
Divino, Divino, Divino. It's a "CMR" restaurant, with local game, fortified by a strong set of wines and the best dessert in town.
Farmer's Market at the Currie Barracks. Not for the crappy and overpriced hot food merchants. Or even for the unbelievably good Belgian Pastry (I am of the firm opinion that breads/pastries made at this altitude can not compare to those made closer to sea level). You go to the Farmer's Market for the cold smoked trout.
As well, keep in mind Calgary is a (relatively) small city. Big restaurants suck azz in this town. The staff do not exist to fill them, the patrons do not exist to make them profitable. Avoid Murrietta's for this reason. Hell, avoid Teatro, Owl's Nest and any restaurant that has over 100 seats. The best steak in town will be cooked for you on a backyard bbq. Purchased from The Better Butcher (Heritage Dr. S.E.) and with nothing more then a bit of salt and pepper and a cheap white roll. I don't know if you'll be able to get it, it's the best (and hardest) food experience to achieve in Calgary
re: Gobstopper
Actually, i didnt exclude Vietnamese in my list (Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese if my memory serves me correctly). Vietnamese is good here. I just havent had enough exposure to it in LA to adequately compare - i'd rather eat things that Calgary doesnt have when I go.
And you're bang on regarding where the best steak in town is - at someone's BBQ. Do I understand that you're inviting us all over for a steak dinner? :)
Im assuming you're the same Gobstopper that's over at eGullet?
I'm surprised no one mentioned Jonas' Restaurant. It's certainly not high end, and is reasonable and affordable, and down home-y. find a review here:
another interesting calgary haunt might be the ironwood stage and grill on a weekend when Tom Philips or one of the local bands are playing. I don't know what kind of music you're into, but Ironwood showcases some of the finest local and regional folk and roots artists (the cowboy legacy does live on in excellent roots blues and country). the food is southern influenced and quite good given the environment. i used to go there all the time for lunch before they started only being open for dinner. http://www.ironwoodstage.ca

re: marco
The reason i didn't mention Jonas' is because the quality of Hungarian food i've had in Los Angeles far exceeds anything i've had in Canada. My understanding was the scope of the recommendations were based upon things not readily accessible, or of better quality of anything in the greater LA region.
I do agree with Marco that the Ironwood place is a good place for entertainment and atmosphere though. Some great bands play there.
Hi - I've been here 6 months and am still struggling to find regular haunts. Must confess, I am a spoiled brat having lived in NYC, Montreal and Toronto in the last 10 years. On many occasions, I've just opted to eat at home.
Most "high-end" places have good ambience and passable service. Divino's has been a good wine experience but I'd rather just get my own cheese at Janice Beaton and a good bottle and take it home.
Wildwood has great service. Good game. I'm a big fan of Valbella's jerky.... worth the drive to Canmore.
Mercato at 4th ST SW and 25 Ave SW has yummy Italian finds but overall I'd skip most of the Italian fare in this city.
Vietnamese subs are a blast! Definitely a fun discovery. I must say that I've really enjoyed the Vietnamese in this city. I also had some really great Thai on 11 Ave SW... Thai Saon. And the wine list there is SOOOOOO cheap and SOOOOOOO good!
The Lebanese is better here than in Toronto but doesn't touch Montreal.
Good luck... and everyone... keep posting your finds. Calgary will get better every year! It's already come a long way.
re: Juberzilla
6 months- I'd give it more time before you dismiss Italian in cowtown. I will say again something I've posted before: Lina's Italian Market, the tavola calda eat-in part (which is strictly cafeteria style and strictly lunch), is my favourite Italian "restaurant" in North America. I have never had veggies so delicious, and the risotto croquettes- my God, I can live on those. I don't even LIKE Italian for the most part (having had too much crappy "pasta fazool" at home growing up, I came to find Italian the epitome of coarseness, but I'm learning) but I will suffer anything to get to Lina's. Having lived in what is, per capita and speaking only of population, the Italian capital of the continent (that's Toronto, not Montreal and not New York), I have never tasted just deliciousness anywhere else.
More Lebanese- my understanding is that Tazza will make you forget Montreal, at least for a while, and I want to check it out. Just today I had to pick up something at the Shaw bldg downtown and picked up a lunch box from the Leb buffet at Sahara- WOW, it was great! The first Leb buffet I've seen since the one at my old stomping grounds in the Annex (TO) closed. Sahara has superb, superb hummous, a dish done poorly more often than it's done well unfortunately.
re: John Manzo
I agree with John ... and you can't forget Scarpone's (aka the Italian Store) on Skyline Way NE; they don't have the tavola caldo selection, but the lunch is great, and the prices at the deli are fantastic (for some reason, Aurecchio Provolone is always on sale).
I prefer Say Cheese Fromagerie in the Crossroads Market to Janice Beaton. You can always find something wonderful; the most recent discovery was Irish farmhouse blue, which is a heavenly mixture of Stilton and Gorgonzola.
I'm not sure the souvlakis are as good at Crete Souvlaki on 17th Ave SW as they are elsewhere (I like the souvs at Souvlaki time in Westbrook mall better, but they were out of this world when he had a grill rather than a flat iron cooktop), but it's a genuine Calgary experience to fill up your car with gas, and buy some windshield washer fluid, some calamari and a souvlaki all at the same time.
The other Calgary classic restaurant experience must be a Ship burger, sitting outside on a day like today on the Ship and Anchor patio. Mmmmm.
BTW had the A&A on 20th ave and 13th St NW yesterday for lunch ... not to gloat or anything.
You should really try Sandro for Italian. It's the best trattoria in the city, esp. the Seafood linguine.
For Korean, and I admit I haven't been in ages, the Bow Bulgogi House on 17th Ave. has fantastic food.
best polish food (especially kilebasa)to purchase is POL-CAN in the acadia shopping centre at 347 Heritage Drive phone (403) 258-0228 - best cabbage rolls at Heritage Bakery and Deli on 37th St. SW - 686-6835For Alberta beef (steak) try Hy's Steak House downtown on 3rd of 4th street.

The 32-year-old joined the club on a one-year deal last season following a successful trial.
However, the player, who has played for Everton, Rangers, Manchester City and PSV Eindhoven, failed to make an impression at the King Power Stadium.
He featured three times under former manager Sven Goran Eriksson, but has fallen down the pecking order under current boss Nigel Pearson.
Ball made his last appearance for the Foxes in a Carling Cup tie at Cardiff back in September and it is understood the decision was made purely on footballing grounds.

Business owners say a county plan to cut your commute, will force them to close.
The proposal is to build several flyovers above Colonial Boulevard between the forum, east of I-75 and Fowler street in Fort Myers.
Jerry Johnson owns Alli Gators Bar and Grill on Colonial Blvd.
He says the economy has made the restaurant business tough and says a proposed road project will only make it tougher.
Johnson says, "Here at the restaurant we think it's going to hinder our sales because a lot of people are going to drive right by and not be able to get off to visit our restaurant."
This morning a group of citizens and Fort Myers business owners like Johnson met to discuss their concerns about the 400 million dollar project.
It's expected to pay for itself with tolls.
Lee County project manager Don DeBarry says he would have liked to be invited to the meeting to address concerns. He also says he personally knows of several business owners who support the project, not to mention citizens.
One citizen says the flyovers can't be built soon enough, "I always travel that way to church especially on Wednesdays and Saturdays and I'm always stuck in a lot of traffic."

AZ Foto
Most camera shops in the Old Town carry just what you'd expect - overpriced film and batteries for the unprepared and sorry tourist. But in addition to those standards, AZ Foto carries some surprises - like Leicas from the 70s, vintage cameras from the 30s, and wooden cameras from who knows when - all for sale at actually reasonable prices. And if you've already got a camera but need some accessories like filters or a flash to get those shots of your smiling family in Prague in the evening, they carry all levels of equipment, from amateur accessories to professional gear.
Good guys. Gave me a lead for my battery charger free, gratis & for nothing. Also stopped me saying thank you dick instead of thank you very much.

Good selection of gear. I got a second SD card at this shop (so many things to take photos of in Prague!).

Studio Ghibli fans have been patiently waiting for localization news about Ni No Kuni, Level 5's RPG collaboration with the famous Japanese animation studio behind Princess Mononoke and others. Even if the news was bad, at least it would put speculation to rest.
As it turns out, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will actually come here next year on PlayStation 3, courtesy of Namco Bandai.
The news was timed to Level 5's "Vision" event in Japan late last week. I didn't have anything up when the event happened because everything was filtering over on a Friday night. Sorry, bros!
Otherwise, Level 5 surprisingly announced a Professor Layton spin-off, Layton Brothers: Mystery Room, for somewhere very different than DS: iOS. As this isn't a proper sequel, it's likely Professor Layton isn't leaving Nintendo's nest, but Level 5's experimentation onto Apple's platform is certainly an interesting move.

Contribuire a finanziare il lancio di un camion di filato Mobile
Two women in Los Angeles are working together to launch a "yarn truck", which is basically a yarn store on wheels.
Two women in Los Angeles are working together to launch a "yarn truck", which is basically a yarn store on wheels.
April's newsletter, which comes out later this week, has three terrific yarn sponsors that will be giving discounts on their colorful, beautiful yarn!
There are many benefits to buying locally. In the spirit of that I thought that I would share links to many terrific U.S. venditori di filati.
I don't have a new review of a yarn seller for you this week so I thought I'd do a roundup post of the yarn seller reviews I've done so far to date. Some of these are local yarn stores but most of them are online yarn sellers.
Mixedmedium is a yarn seller on Etsy who offers a variety of different yarns at affordable prices and provides good customer service. Here's my full review.
Quando stavo cercando alcuni filati di alta qualità affare scoprii filati d'Italia su Etsy. Allora ho scoperto che hanno una formidabile selezione di filati di lussuosi e che essi spesso vendite grande caratteristica nel loro negozio Etsy.
I enjoy buying yarn online from sellers in various places and Etsy is naturally one of the places that I look for yarn. One of the Etsy stores that I recently got yarn from was Jane & Michael.

BREMEN- Located on Whitlock Street in this small town just south of Notre Dame and South Bend/Mishawaka, Doctor's NeuroPsychiatric Hospital and Research Institute is one of few in the nation, which will fulfill a great need today and in the future noted CEO of the facility who spoke not only about their renovation expansion project at the facility but also about generalities of the need for care for those with brain issues.
"Science has been phenomenal extending life, but not keeping brain compatible with those years of life," said Alan Fisher, CEO of DNPH.
BREMEN --A continued list of staffing changes was reported during the Bremen Public Schools Board of Trustees meeting on July 17.
**To read this list, see the June 26 edition of the Bremen Enquirer.
The Bremen Little League will be selling raffle tickets for five dollars each between now and May 21. Prizes of Ipad Mini, TV, gift cards, cash and others will be up for grabs. Please support little leaguers if they come knocking. They are accepting local business donations for prizes in any form or denomination. Please contact Pam Brown 574-546-4354 for pick-up or mailing instructions.

BREMEN — Bremen Town Council took a moment during the start of their meeting Monday to present the Pride-In-Bremen Award to Alex Baker for his efforts in making attractive improvements to his home and thus improving the look of the town. The award recognized his investment and accomplishments.
BREMEN -- Ninety-two percent of Bremen Elementary third-graders passed the IREAD assessment this year, Prinicipal Larry Yelaski stated at the Bremen Public Schools Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday. The state average was 85 percent.
** To read more, check out next week's issue of the Bremen Enquirer.
WAKARUSA -- The Town Wakarusa and Rebulb, LLC are offering free recycling of electronic and batteries to the residents of Wakarusa on May 10. All waste will be reycled by local, state and federal regulations.
BREMEN — Take it from Chuck Klockow, owner of the Horse and Saddle Shop in Bremen, there's nothing wrong with trying new things.
It's so pushed in this world to do know what we want to do; I didn't even go to college until I was 21," Klockow, Bremen, said.
Straight out of John Glenn High School, Klockow joined the airforce at age 17. He travelled to Georgia to work for the military in communications and was later asked to travel to the White House to work in the White House Communications Center, where he worked with President George Bush Sr. and President Bill Clinton.
BREMEN -- Much of the Bremen Town Council meeting held on Monday night consisted of discussions regarding potential ordinances placed onto the three parks manned by the Bremen Parks Department.
Originally, the hope was to create one simple fee for all park ordinances discussed in the previous council meeting; breaking a park ordinace would result in a $10-fine. However council members decided that certain possible ordinances were more fair and reasonable to park users than others.
Sale and use of tobacco products by minors will now be prohibited and those in violation will be fined.

Sometimes you get lucky-Cheryl from Bloomfield, NJ
Pet Name: Kitty
I chose Foster Animal Hospital because it was close to my home. Sometimes you get lucky. I brought my cat there with one eye partially closed. He was diagnosed, screened for further problems and treated. Dr Meltzer was caring, gentle and took time to address my issues.The receptionist, Steve, the tech/assistant and the doctor were gracious, compassionate and very helpful in keeping the costs low. Finally, as I had difficulty applying the medication, Steve made a house call to show me how to do it. Certainly above and beyond what I expected. I highly recommend this facility. Thank you, be well and continued success.

Updated: November 16, 2011 2:03PM
When Chicago's new mayor laid out his very first city budget Wednesday, he didn't propose selling off city assets, raiding rainy-day funds or putting off for tomorrow what must be done today.
Instead, Mayor Rahm Emanuel offered up a strong and tough-minded opening bid for tackling the city's monstrous deficit.
What a healthy change of pace.
For the last few years, Mayor Richard M. Daley balanced the city budget with a heavy dose of one-time fixes. It is now painfully clear that economic salvation is not around corner.
Emanuel deserves much credit for his willingness to do the painful and crucial work of resizing government.
Faced with a $636 million deficit, Emanuel wants to whittle down nearly two-thirds of it with spending cuts and efficiencies, some unpopular but long overdue — eliminating 2,200 open positions; laying off 517 employees; switching to a grid system for garbage pickup; charging hospitals and other nonprofits for water service, and reducing library hours.
To make up much of the rest of the deficit, Emanuel is proposing $79 million in new fees and taxes, most of which we can support because they reflect well thought-out priorities and don't burden all Chicagoans.
They punish bad behavior — higher fees for drunken driving, drag-racing and illegal dumping, for example.
Or they advance a clear policy goal, a "value proposition," as Emanuel likes to say.
He is proposing increased fees for SUV and truck drivers (who cause 80 percent of damage to streets), for example, and a "congestion premium" that would add $2 to the parking tax in downtown garages. The new revenue would support CTA improvements, hopefully luring people from their cars to the CTA.
The structure of his budget is right on, opening the door for a vigorous debate on the specifics.
Emanuel makes a strong case for many proposals but promotes them as if their virtues were absolute and their correctness self-evident. Before the City Council says yes, several proposals deserve a more thorough vetting:
†Emanuel wants a 1 percentage point increase in the hotel tax. He says this would put Chicago on par with New York and Los Angeles and noted that past increases haven't hurt hotels. Also, the increase would be offset by reducing the hated employee head tax. All good points. But how would Chicago's taxes compare those cities that compete for convention business, such as Orlando?
†The mayor wants to close three police districts, consolidating them into newer, nearby buildings to create larger districts with greater manpower. This is part of a larger strategy to better deploy police resources. Before moving forward, Emanuel would be wise to listen closely to concerns of the aldermen and citizens who know those communities best.
† Emanuel wants to nearly double over four years what Chicagoans and suburbanites pay for water and sewer service, noting that we pay among the lowest rates in the country. The increase would finance a much-needed upgrade to the city's century-old network of water pipes. We can't argue with the need, but it's reasonable to ask whether residents can afford such a steep increase.
† More than half of the $417 million in spending reductions proposed by Emanuel come straight out of city departments, including a major cut to the Department of Family and Support Services. These cuts have to be carefully evaluated to make sure vulnerable Chicagoans don't lose vital services.
