The Atlanta Project A Community-Based Approach to Solving Urban Problems
Planning of large-scale community and civic revitalization projects is challenged by the dialectic that exists between the need for effective, centralized coordination and the affirmative value of neighborhood empowerment and control. For The Atlanta Project, striking this balance is both an ongoing challenge and a source of strength. Case study plus.

Planning of large-scale community and civic revitalization projects is challenged by the dialectic that exists between the need for effective, centralized coordination and the affirmative value of neighborhood empowerment and control. For The Atlanta Project, striking this balance is both an ongoing challenge and a source of strength.
Throughout the United States, the gap between the haves and the have-nots has increased steadily. This chasm is most evident in the nation's metropolitan areas, where rich and poor often live side by side. Atlanta is representative of this American crisis. It is in reality two cities: one of prosperity for the wealthy and educated and one of hopelessness for the poor and uneducated. Although Fortune magazine proclaimed Atlanta the country's best city for business, it is the nation's second poorest. Chosen to host the world for the 1996 Olympics, Georgia ranks worst in the country in infant mortality and children's well-being, and second to last in high school graduation rates. More troubling than the statistics of poverty, hunger, homelessness, and death are the feelings of despair and hopelessness they represent.
Troubled by this growing disparity between affluent and impoverished Atlanta, former President Jimmy Carter launched The Atlanta Project (TAP) in October of 1991. Under the auspices of the Carter Center, TAP is a five-year effort to confront the issues of urban poverty. Carter envisioned a collaborative, community-centered effort. This vision is captured in the mission statement of TAP:
". . . [T]o unite Atlanta as a community working to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. In the spirit of the Carter Center's problem-solving philosophy TAP will seek to empower citizens to develop solutions to the problems they identify in their neighborhoods and will foster collaboration among government agencies, other service providers, people who want to help, and those who need help throughout the area. We hope that The Atlanta Project can serve as a model and an inspiration for similar projects across America."
The goals of The Atlanta Project, drawn from this mission statement, are as follows:
The goal of uniting Atlanta requires a building of bridges across the city's chasms of race and class. An important strategy for TAP in pursuit of this goal is volunteerism. By involving volunteers from suburbia and the inner city in initiatives where they work together for a common goal, TAP is beginning to link the diverse Atlanta communities and break down the barrier separating them. Volunteerism can also be an important strategy for improving the quality of life in targeted communities. While volunteers are not a panacea, some initiatives, such as tutoring and mentoring programs, are dependent on volunteers for their success. The goal of empowerment requires that citizens play a dominant role in defining the problems that are important to their communities and determining the initiatives TAP will pursue to address those problems. Without such ownership by members of the affected communities, sustainable change can not occur. The project's goal of empowerment means a detailed strategy for enhancing quality of life can not be specified in advance. The communities must play a key role in defining and prioritizing the specific quality-of-life goals for the project. Finally, the goal of fostering collaboration assumes that the skills, energies and resources for success exist within our communities, but that a lack of coordination often dissipates their impact. By encouraging existing agencies to work together, TAP seeks to develop new alliances that will continue after the project itself has ended.
The Clusters
Under its broad mission to unite Atlanta, TAP's focus is on the entire metropolitan community. However, TAP's mission to facilitate empowerment and improve quality of life requires a narrower geographic focus. Noting that teen-age motherhood and single-parent families coincide with troubled communities, areas with the highest occurrence of these conditions became TAP's target. These areas form a broad belt that runs east to west straddling I-20. The belt stretches across parts of three counties—Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton—and encompasses several independent cities and parts of the City of Atlanta. Approximately 200,000 households and 500,000 individuals reside in the target areas.
Empowerment requires the cultivation of citizen involvement and a focus on neighborhood conditions. Clearly, these requirements cannot be met within so large an area. For this reason, TAP's target area has been divided into 20 smaller units called "clusters." Because schools are the glue of every community, the boundaries of each cluster approximate the attendance zone of a high school and its feeder schools. The exact boundaries of the clusters conform to those for census tracts. Defining clusters in terms of census tracts simplifies data collection. However, it also means cluster boundaries do not always follow those of natural communities.
Although all clusters are similar in terms of the selection criteria, they vary considerably in other respects. Cluster populations vary from a low of approximately 8,000 to a high of almost 60,000. The 1989 median household income varies from a cluster low of $8,587 to a cluster high of $31,234. The percentage of minorities in1990 cluster populations ranges from a low of 26.7 percent to a high of 99.6 percent. Unemployment rates in 1990 extend from 5.8 percent to 18.3 percent. Of course, the actual unemployment rates are suspected to be higher than those reported in the Census of Population. As these numbers suggest, some clusters more closely resemble the demographics of the suburbs than those of a typical inner city.
Members of the original TAP Advisory Committee (discussed below), including President Carter, were assigned to a cluster and were given the responsibility to introduce the concept of The Atlanta Project to residents. However, the real work of developing a grass-roots organization awaited the hiring of "cluster coordinators." By the summer of 1992 sufficient resources were available to recruit, train and deploy five cluster coordinators. In September, resources were available to hire coordinators for the remaining 15 clusters. Thirteen of these positions were filled and the coordinators were placed in the field by October. Positions for two clusters, Archer and West Fulton, were not filled at this time because of a lack of qualified candidates. After additional efforts, a cluster coordinator for West Fulton was hired in May of 1993 and the Archer cluster position was filled in August of 1993. Assistant Cluster Coordinators were hired in February for the 18 clusters with coordinators at that time.
The cluster coordinators and the assistant cluster coordinators were required to be residents of the cluster. Each was also required to have an established record of involvement in community affairs. Beyond these characteristics the coordinators and their assistants vary widely in background. Thirteen of the coordinators and twelve of the assistants are women while six of the coordinators and six of the assistants are men. Educational levels range from graduation from high school to completion of advanced degrees, including two PhDs, one in Education and one in Anthropology. Some of the cluster coordinators have had military experience, some have been employed in education, some have worked in the public sector, and others in private industry.
Although all of the cluster coordinators had experience in their communities, the organizational task confronting them when they assumed their positions with the project was none the less formidable. Working at first by themselves and later with only one assistant, coordinators were assigned the responsibilities of organizing public meetings to explain TAP to the residents, recruiting residents to serve on various cluster committees, reaching out to existing leadership in the cluster, and facilitating a planning process. The demands on the cluster coordinators were further intensified by residents' requests that they perform "casework" (e.g., getting the utilities turned back on in a house, finding alternative housing for an evicted family, etc.). While not originally intended to be "caseworkers," the coordinators realize that doing such work and meeting the real, pressing needs of individual residents is essential to their credibility in the community.
The clusters vary somewhat in the extent of their organizational development. All of the clusters have held community meetings to introduce the project and generate discussions of community needs. A majority of the clusters have established a schedule for cluster wide meetings and organized their substantive committees (e.g., Economic Development, Health, Education, etc.) Sixteen of the clusters have created a Steering Committee, which typically consists of at least the chairs of substantive committees and may include service providers and representatives of major interests within the clusters. The Steering Committee is intended to be the leadership body for the cluster. Working through the committee structure, each cluster is expected to develop an inventory of social services and programs within the cluster, a needs assessment for the cluster, and a cluster plan. Only two clusters have completed all of these steps and two more have completed the needs assessment and the plan, but not the inventory. Most of the remaining clusters are engaged in completing this planning. Levels of participation among community residents in the general meetings and committee work varies somewhat from cluster to cluster. In most cases maintaining community involvement in this planning phase has been a challenge.
From a rational planning perspective, a master plan for each cluster should be in place before cluster initiatives are developed. Such a plan would give direction to specific initiatives and provide justification when resources are sought. However, many of the clusters have already developed and launched initiatives prior to completion of a comprehensive plan. For example, the Community Development Committee of the Southside cluster has implemented an SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) instructional program for high school students. In the Fulton cluster, an Emotional Support Task Force has been established consisting of doctors, social workers, ministers and community volunteers who work with and mentor students within the cluster schools. A large number of clusters have held various types of informational fairs (e.g., Job fairs, Health fairs, etc.). Grady cluster's Education Committee, as part of a community consortium, has received a grant from the State of Georgia to provide pre-school education programs beginning in the Fall of 1993.
The launching of such initiatives in part reflects the action orientation of the individuals hired as cluster coordinators. These initiatives, however, do have strategic functions. By involving community residents in TAP activities, these initiatives increase awareness of the project and the likelihood of more general participation. Early initiatives provide tangible evidence of TAP's work to raise the credibility of the project and garner the support of residents.
Corporate Partnerships
The goal of TAP to bridge the divisions within Atlanta is nowhere more concretely pursued than through the development of the Corporate Partnerships. Many corporations have provided financial support to TAP, which has been of tremendous benefit. Through the corporate partners program, a subset of these corporations has indicated the desire to go further and become involved actively in the work of the project. These corporations constitute a large segment of the major corporations in Atlanta and many have a regional and/or national presence. Included in the group are IBM, Cox Enterprises, Equifax, Trust Company Bank, John Harland Company, Mariott Corporation, Arthur Anderson Consulting, Coca-Cola, Atlanta Gas Light, NationsBank, United Parcel Service, Delta Airlines, Georgia Power, AT&T, First Union, Home Depot, Wachovia, Turner Broadcasting, BankSouth, SouthTrust Bank, Northern Telecom, Equitable Real Estate, Prudential, Kroger, and Bell South. Sixteen of the clusters currently have a corporate partner. Ln a few cases more than one company is working in a single cluster. Because of their historic commitment to a specific issue area, some of the corporations have chosen to work with all of the clusters as they become involved with a topic-specific initiative.
The corporate partners provide loaned executives who serve as liaisons between TAP and their corporations. Most of these work with clusters as "corporate advisors" and are integral parts of the cluster teams. The corporate advisors bring to the clusters tremendous organizational skills and experience, which have proved invaluable to the cluster coordinators. Additionally, many of the initiatives implemented by the clusters have been directly or indirectly supported by the resources of the corporate partners.
For example, in response to citizen concern about the lack of banking services for the poor, Trust Company Bank has initiated a pilot check-cashing service for cluster residents and offers seminars on personal finance. All residents completing the seminars are able to open checking accounts. Corporate partner Bank South has developed a similar program. In an effort to encourage entrepreneurship, corporate partner NationsBank established a $500,000 loan fund for black-owned small business development. Georgia Power Company joined with the Georgia Youth Science and Technology Center to install a hands-on science learning center at a cluster school. This facility will be a magnet center for teachers, students and residents. Similarly, Turner Broadcasting System established an Industrial Technology Room in a cluster school. Community classes are held daily at this location. While the corporate partners program is still taking shape, it is clear that the involvement of corporations has been a major benefit to The Atlanta Project.
The Collaboration Center
Initially housed at the Carter Presidential Center, The Atlanta Project moved to its current location at Atlanta City Hall East in September of 1992. The space, formerly a Sears store and warehouse, is provided by the City of Atlanta at a nominal rent. Designated the Carter Collaboration Center, the City Hall East site serves two functions. First, a significant proportion of the Center is meeting space for the organization, the cluster communities and service providers. The meeting facilities are state-of-the-art and include the capacity for computer facilitation of meetings.
The facility is equal to that available to any corporation or government. This aspect of the facility is an important support for TAP's effort to develop collaboration among service providers and also for the development of strategic planning by clusters.
Second, the Collaboration Center performs the function of housing the central administration of the project. The central administration performs standard functions such as purchasing, finance, human resources, and facilities management. Additionally, the central administration serves as a resource center for the clusters. It provides assistance in planning, project management, information systems, data analysis, and training. It also provides assistance in securing volunteers and seeking external funding for cluster initiatives. The central administration includes persons with expertise in the areas of health, education, public safety, youth and children, housing, and economic development. These individuals, on the one hand, are a resource to assist the clusters in developing their initiatives. On the other hand, these individuals also are charged with developing initiatives that have "TAP-wide" effects. Thus, while the project emphasizes de-centralization and empowerment of communities, it also provides a role for professional expertise in the development of initiatives.
The Collaboration Center has a total staff of 43 persons. Businesses, universities, service providers, and governmental agencies have loaned 16 executives to the project. This does not include those provided to the clusters through the corporate partnership program. Another five positions in the Collaboration Center are filled by long-term volunteers. Thus, only about half the positions within the central administration are actually paid for by the project and a large percentage of these are secretarial and support staff.
Governance Structure
Throughout TAP's initial phase, no formal structure existed for the creation and adoption of policies for the organization. To a large extent the "understood" policies that governed the operation of the project were drawn from President Carter's statements regarding his vision for the project and how he thought it should operate. The Advisory Committee, which was made up of leaders drawn from various sectors of the Atlanta community (i.e., higher education, corporations, nonprofits, local government, etc.), provided advice to former President Carter but did not have a policy making function. It should be emphasized, however, that the advice of this group did help shape the direction of the project. In particular, it played an important role early on when the external pressures to do something "now" threatened the community-empowerment focus of the project. The advisors, most of whom had been working in a cluster to introduce the project to the community, helped steer the project away from imposing quick-fix "betterment" initiatives on the clusters.
As the project moved beyond the start-up phase, it became increasingly apparent that a formal, identifiable means for establishing its policies and direction was needed. Given the emphasis of TAP on grass-roots involvement and empowerment, it was also evident that such a policy-making body needed to be inclusive in its composition. In particular, the body needed to have individuals who could be seen by the residents of the clusters as understanding their issues and representing their concerns. The need for such a body was accepted without opposition by everyone involved in TAP at a retreat held on January 5, 1993. The ultimate design of the policy body included expansion of the original Advisory Committee to enhance its representativeness, and creation of an Executive Committee to ensure efficiency in its operation and responsibility for setting broad policy for the project. This renamed Policy Advisory Board held its first meeting in June of 1993 with former President Carter presiding as the Permanent Chair.
The First Tap-Wide Initiative
The Atlanta Project model envisions both the clusters and the Collaboration Center as potential loci for initiatives. The Immunization/Children's Health Initiative (I/CHI) was developed within the health component of the Collaboration Center. Since this initiative required the participation of the clusters in its implementation, the leadership of I/CHI involved cluster co-ordinators in its development stages and sought the support of the clusters in a series of meetings once the plan for the initiative was finalized.
I/CHI involved three events. The first was the community walk-through, which occurred on April 17 and 18, 1993. During the walk-through, volunteers went door-to-door in the cluster communities distributing information about immunization and identifying children under six years of age. The names and other relevant information about the children and their families were copied onto forms and eventually entered into a database. The purpose of this data collection was to take a first step toward constructing a comprehensive system of tracking the children within the clusters. Such a system would allow follow-up on immunizations and boosters as they came due. The second event was an eight-day immunization drive later that month, which coincided with National Preschool Immunization Week. A total of 43 clinic sites were staffed at various times during this week and almost 16,000 children were examined. Most of these children were certified as current in their immunization status but 6,200 received vaccinations. Fulton County Public Health recorded a 250 percent increase in children seen for immunizations during April of 1993 over April of 1992. The increase in traffic was somewhat smaller for Dekalb County Public Health, 775, but still substantial. The third event was a celebration for all the parents of children who visited the clinics end for the volunteers. This was held at the Omni and featured an appearance by Michael Jackson.
I/CHI provided a test of two of the principal elements of the TAP model: the use of volunteers and the fostering of collaboration. As with any first initiative, problems occurred in the planning and implementation of I/CHI. On balance, however, the experience of the initiative validated both elements of the TAP model. The Atlanta Project was able to mobilize thousands of volunteers, both from within and outside the clusters, without whom the initiative could not have been conducted. Just as importantly, the volunteers had exceptionally positive experiences working together and meeting community residents. The success of I/CHI also depended on TAP's ability to get diverse elements of the health care community to work together during the immunization drive and to commit themselves to the long-term project. While the system is not complete, the various parties are working collaboratively to make it a reality. Thus, the experience with I / CHI clearly indicated that the TAP model can work.
Conclusion: A Continuing Challenge
The Atlanta Project has come far, both in terms of the maturation and articulation of its fundamental concepts, as well as implementation of programs. Clearly, much remains to be done and the project faces notable challenges. The most immediate challenge for TAP is to make the empowerment process work in the clusters. This will involve mobilizing a sufficient number of residents within the cluster organizations to establish legitimacy, and developing strong leadership among cluster coordinators. The creation of local initiatives and TAP-wide initiatives, like I/CHI, may be necessary to "prime the pump" for the organization. Strong leadership from the coordinator and "top-down" initiatives, however, work against the fundamental tenets of empowerment—a primary goal of the project. Striking the proper balance between the strong leadership necessary to get the empowerment process working and the freedom and openness of decision-making style necessary for empowerment to thrive will be a major and continuing challenge to TAP.
The progress TAP has made to date has not come easily. It has been earned by the hard work and commitment of all involved in the project. A singular characteristic and strength that TAP has developed during this initial period is the ability to accept criticism and to profit from it. Because of this characteristic, TAP will continue to reshape itself in light of the insights of others and the lessons drawn from its own experiences.

so, even though this item isnt exactly the same as the 1 in the store that i registered 4 i loved the price & the fact that i got so much more with overstock then buying @ the baby store. u will love this just as much as the "jacana" nursery theme crib set :)
When I ordered this the picture showed that it was going to be purple. That was why I bought it. When I opened it the color was more of a dark pink? I was disappointed but it is still a very cute design and the color is pretty. Just not what I was expecting. I did go ahead and keep it because I needed to get my daughter in her crib and the blanket design matched the wall decals I put on her wall.
My husband and I ordered this online for our first baby- a girl. We love the jungle idea and this was a great way to have the room full of animals, and still make it "girly"! You really do get your moneys worth with this bedding set. We would Highly Reccommend this to any parent to be!
I bought two sets for my twin girls room. I was skeptical because of the low price and the lack of reviews. When it arrived, I was happy with the different colors. There are a lot of purples and a pinkish color as well. Lots of colors to work with for decorating. Everything was a much better quality than I expected. I washed the comforters and line dried them. They held up really well in the wash, a definite requirement when dealing with baby gear. The comforter is embroidered, not printed on. This makes it look a lot more expensive than it is. My only complaint is that there were some threads hanging that need to be snipped off. The sheets were soft after washing too and fit the crib mattress perfectly. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others. Its definitely a great value!
Perfect, beautiful, high quality...I give this as a present for a dear friend and she love it!
This is pretty. Was nice for the baby room with the colors. Prefect fit. Would buy again.
Color was more pink than purple and the green color was horrible
Very cute set, and great value for the price. We painted the room Honeydew to pull out the light greens from the set, and it looks great. Would highly recommend.
The color of the crib set was great! It wasn't too bright, but not too dull either. It was just what we were looking for. Our little girl's room looks amazing. I like that the wall decorations are fabric, that way they can be washed unlike the plastic or glass ones in the store. The crib sheet fit great on the standard size mattress. It's not too loose, and wasn't too tight. Overall, we love this product. The price was great, especially compared to the ones in the store that cost more than this and they don't come with everything that was in this set.

Turkey Talk: Is Free Range Or Organic Worth It?
by Dana Angelo White in Thanksgiving, November 11, 2009
My mom still tells the story about the year she ordered a free-range turkey. She almost choked when she went to pay for it because it was more than six times what a regular turkey cost! Now that I have Thanksgiving at my house, I'm faced with the same dilemma — is it worth it to get these extra pricey birds?
Get The Facts
The appeal of free-range turkeys is that they are raised with access to outdoor space so they can roam — many folks believe that this makes for better tasting meat. Farmers also raise these turkeys in a more human environment (no messy, cooped-up quarters), which wins extra points with food advocates. Add to that list the fact these turkeys get fed higher quality food and farmers don't use hormones or antibiotics on them.
As for organic turkeys, they are certified as being raised following strict parameters (though they may not be free range) and are only fed organic food. Usually free-range birds are also organic, but make sure you ask your meat provider or read the store packaging carefully.
What About a "Local" And Other Labels?
Local poultry ranches are usually smaller operations and take more care in raising their animals. Many use free-range and organic practices (even if they aren't certified organic). If you're interested in keeping your feast local, call up the farmer to ask for details ahead of time.
Poultry also often has other labels such as "natural," "grass-fed" or "no added hormones" — check out our eco-friendly label decoder to help make sense of these tags.
Yes, these more specialized turkeys cost more — in many cases, A LOT more. We priced out options from various online grocery stores and the costs varied. Some turkeys were more than $10 per pound. Here's what we found on average:
Regular turkey = $0.89-$2.99 per pound
Organic = $5.50-$6.20 per pound
Free Range = $4.59-$6.93 per pound
If getting a free-range or organic bird is important to you, you can save some money by picking a smaller size. Yes, this does mean fewer leftovers, but most people buy way more turkey than they need anyway. In this case, you'd be splurging on quality, not quantity.
What To Look For
Pay attention to the labels on fresh or frozen birds or ask your butcher or local farmer for more details. Free-range and organic turkeys are often in high demand; so if you choose to get one, you should order it now (if you haven't already).
TELL US: What kind of turkey are you planning to get this year?

Your facks are not correct. Most all tukeys are raised in pens and fed harmones to grow faster. Organic is much better for you, and usually fresh.
you can't spell how do we know you can evaluate a turkey?
I also have worked with poultry and currently hold the Pennsylvania Poultry Ambassador position. I can tell you with complete assurance that no hormones are used in the commercial turkey industry because they are not needed. As to the fact that they are raised in pens, that is also incorrect. Turkeys are raised in barns and allowed to move throughout the entire barn. The only time they are confined to a small area is when they are less than a week old. At that point in their life, it is essential to not be allowed to roam freely due to the fact that young turkey poults have a tendency to move away from a heat source and not be able to find their way back.
Well whoop de doo! You can pay $197.00 for a turkey when some people in this world can't afford a chicken!
Any chance of getting an invitation!

Here is a link to the USDA FSIS. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Meat_&_P… On this page they outline all of the terms used to label poultry. Near the bottom of the page, under the heading "No Hormones (pork or poultry)" it says:
"Hormones are not allowed in raising hogs or poultry. Therefore, the claim "no hormones added" cannot be used on the labels of pork or poultry unless it is followed by a statement that says "Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones.""
What is nice about this .gov site is that they give the legal guidelines for labels, which can be confusing.
I didn't want to start a squabble, but I think it is important for people to really know what is in their food. Hormones are not used in poultry production. I am sad to see that this is something many people use to vilify poultry production. The important task is ensuring Americans have a safe food supply, especially those who cannot afford more expensive products.
Here are a few links about the effects of antibiotic use in poultry.
I love poultry and the heritage breeds are beautiful. In fact, I've raised several of these breeds. Heritage animals are important genetic reservoirs. Many of them have genes that make them resistant to parasites or diseases. For example, in sheep, the Gulf Cost Native breed is genetically resistant to parasites and hardier in hot climates (Miller et. al., 1997).
Heritage breeds do have a different taste. I think buying a heritage turkey is like buying a good bottle of wine: you buy it for the taste (and to support the local farmers.)Miller, J. E., M. Bahirathan, S. L. Lemarie, F. G. Hembry, M. T. Kearney, S. R. Barras. 1997. Epidemiology of gastrointestinal nematode parasitism in Suffolk and Gulf Coast Native sheep with special emphasis on relative susceptibility to Haemonchus contortus infection. Veterinary Parasitology. doi:10.1016/S0304-4017(97)00094-0
So you believe whatever the USDA says? Please don't. They don't care about you as much as the profit.
If we can't trust the people that create the laws and regulations for our food products, why would you trust someone that that grew the bird in their backyard. They have no restrictions from the government, and if their bird is infected with a salmonella or another disease, the USDA and FDA can not prevent that bird from being sold, unless it is caught.
Why can't you get a fresh one? I am ordering my first Whole Foods turkey this year. A 22 pounder !!!!
USDA does not make any profit from Turkey sales.
Seriously. What's up with lurl? Show off. Why don't you help the economy by donating some of your fancy-shmancy hogs and pheasants to local shelters?
LOL. My thoughts exactly
Wow. Thanksgiving and we bash someone for a typo?? Glad I am not in your families. What if I my grammar slipped at the dinner table? Sheesh, I come looking for information and see the mean girls (or guys) are everywhere. I am thankful to not be at your tables this Thanksgiving!

Goodbye to you.
Just these words.
Just this pain.
I feel i deserve.
So throw me away.
Like a stone in the bay.
Just forget about me.
I will be free.
I embrace this hatred.
That you created.
With words that are lies.
I won't sympathise.
So just go away.
I can't make you stay.
I thought it was real but just a lie.
It was only a dream now I say goodbye.

You say why and the people laugh
Wanting the whole, but settling for half,
Moving about with expressionless face
Yet hoping for some redeeming grace.
Caught up in the conformity of existing
Taking small chances, but never living
Constantly drunk with delusional dreams
Always anticipating life's next little scheme
And angry at self inflicted destruction seen
Still longing for simplicity
By any necessary means.

I am struck by the words, "Constantly drunk with delusional dreams"

Home > Consolidating Agencies > Email Addresses Have Changed
Group email boxes, such as firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com have not changed. Don't rely on messages being automatically forwarded If you directly type an employee's old email address into Outlook using one of the following formats: email@example.com or email@example.com, the message will automatically forward to the new address. However, if you begin typing a name in Outlook and allow the program to automatically fill in the name – such as Doe, Jane (DOP) – that message will likely come back as undeliverable (especially for employees who are now at OFM). The same problem applies to distribution lists and listservs. To ensure delivery of your message, we recommend that you directly type in the new email address, if you know it. Or directly type the old address in one of the two formats listed above. For those who have access to the state's Global Address List, you can also directly select the new email off of the address list in Outlook. If you're still having trouble reaching one of our employees, please contact the Service Center at email@example.com or (360) 664-6400. We apologize for the inconvenience this change may cause. We are doing all we can to make this transition as seamless as possible for our customers, but some bumps in the road are an unfortunate reality with change of this magnitude.

Faculty: Professors Ntambi (chair), Eide, Eisenstein, Groblewski, Ney, Schoeller, Smith, Sunde; Associate Professors Lai, Tanumihardjo; Assistant Professor Yen. Members of the Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Nutritional Sciences from outside the department: Adams, Armentano, Attie, Bertics, Binkley, Broderick, Carey, Clagett-Dame, Combs, Cook, Crenshaw, DeLuca, Drezner, Folts, Goldman, Greer, Grummer, Hayes, Kanarek, Karasov, Kemnitz, Kling, Kudsk, Mares, Pariza, Prolla, Reed, Robbins, Schaefer, Simon, Weindruch
Modern nutrition is a multidisciplinary, integrative science, and the Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Nutritional Sciences (IGPNS) has been developed to meet this diversity in approach and objective. Thus, students can focus their training in one of three emphasis groups: (1) biochemical and molecular nutrition, (2) human nutrition, or (3) animal nutrition. The degrees offered are the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy in Nutritional Sciences.
It is the program's goal to provide graduate students interested in nutrition with an opportunity to obtain specialized training in a specific research area and also to obtain a general background in the science and practice of nutrition. The program is sufficiently flexible to allow students with a wide variety of undergraduate degrees to meet the background prerequisites. The program draws on the strengths of faculty in a number of the university's colleges and academic departments to enhance the instructional and research experience.
The training objectives of the IGPNS are to provide students with an understanding of basic nutritional principles as they apply to both humans and animals, to provide them with current knowledge in a specific area of emphasis, to make them aware of the integrative and multidisciplinary nature of nutrition research, and to direct them toward a successful career through the thesis and publications.
Biochemical and molecular nutrition. This emphasis group focuses on the application of biochemical and physiological approaches to the understanding of nutrient function and metabolism in systems ranging from the whole animal to the molecular level.
Human nutrition. This emphasis group takes a comprehensive view of human nutrition with emphasis on the maintenance and promotion of human health. It utilizes diverse research approaches to carry out studies on nutrient requirements, metabolism, and interactions. Research may involve physiological and biochemical studies, animal models and epidemiological, and educational or clinical interventions.
Animal nutrition. This emphasis group takes a comprehensive view of animal nutrition with a focus on expanding understanding of nutrient utilization. Research activities involve both the performance of domestic animals and general comparative nutrition across animal species. Studies may range from applied animal feeding trials to basic studies on nutrient metabolism or integrated whole-animal metabolism with an emphasis on quantification and regulation.
33 students from throughout the world are currently enrolled in the program. 24 are doctoral candidates and nine are seeking master's degrees.
The graduate faculty have well-developed, competitively funded research programs and have been recognized for their activities by receiving national awards. They are active in national and international nutrition activities, and serve on editorial boards, as society officers, and as participants in numerous workshops and on advisory committees.
Assistantships and fellowships are available to support students. Information about financial assistance may be obtained from the department office.
Candidates for graduate study in nutritional sciences should have a strong background in mathematics, chemistry, and biological and medical sciences or social sciences. Specific prerequisites for the graduate program include five to six semesters of chemistry, three semesters of biological sciences including a course in animal physiology, mathematics through trigonometry, and a course in calculus or statistics. Students who have not completed all the requirements may be admitted, but deficiencies should be made up during the first year of graduate study.
In general, all applicants must have a minimum grade point average of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale). Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores are required as well as three references and a personal statement. Acceptance requires approval by the Department of Nutritional Sciences and the Graduate School.
For more information: Kate Wilmot, Department of Nutritional Sciences, 1415 Linden Drive, Madison, WI 53706-1527; 608-262-2727; email@example.com; www.nutrisci.wisc.edu.

When it comes to kneading bread dough, modern technology has given us a number of options. Of course you can use the old-fashioned hand-kneading method, which has the advantage of not requiring any special equipment. And it can be done just about anywhere you have a surface to work on.
The downside to hand kneading is that for some people it's hard on the hands and wrists. It also takes a bit of time. Others find that hand kneading can be relaxing and zen-like – or, if you're using a more aggressive approach, it can relieve some frustrations.
The advent of the no-knead process has proved that dough doesn't need to be kneaded much – or at all – if you're giving it a sufficiently long rest. Gluten develops on its own in the presence of water, so kneading isn't necessary to develop the gluten.
But there's more to kneading than just the creation of gluten. The kneading process also "arranges" the gluten, for lack of a better term. The act of repeatedly folding and pressing and turning the dough creates a different sort of structure in that webby network. Whether that structure is better or not depends on the sort of bread you're looking for.
But what about machine kneading? Can that really replace hand kneading?
As with every other possible variable, using a machine to do your kneading changes the outcome. While a food processor or a stand mixture does a fine job of developing the gluten in dough, neither one of them perfectly mimics the motion of hand-kneading.
There are other differences as well.
A food processor kneads dough very quickly – in as little as a minute in some cases. It also heats the dough up while it processes, so if you need to knead longer, you risk heating the dough to a point where the yeast begins to die off. If a dough does need longer kneading, it's best to do so in short sessions with waiting time in between to let the dough cool off.
Since the dough coming out of the processor is warm, it also rises faster, This is a plus if you're in a hurry to get your bread made, but it's a disadvantage if you are hoping for a slow rise for more flavor development.
Since the food processor kneads so quickly, it's also possible to overknead the dough. It's virtually impossible to overknead a dough by hand, but it's entirely possible with a food processor. When a dough is over-kneaded, the gluten breaks down and instead of a stretchy and elastic dough it becomes a puddle of goo that won't hold its shape.
Part of what happens during kneading is the incorporation of oxygen into the dough, and just like freshly ground flour that is exposed to oxygen, the flour in the dough oxidizes during kneading. Oxygen helps the gluten strands to connect to each other, creating the long strands that form the web of gluten that's so important.
But there can be too much of a good thing. Too much oxygen bleaches the dough, turning it whiter the longer it is kneaded. While that might sound appealing, the wheat pigment also carries flavor. As the dough oxidizes and lightens, it also loses flavor. Because a food processor does the kneading so fast, there's much less time for oxidation to occur, and more flavor remains.
The action of the food processor is also the most violent, cutting some of the gluten strands as it kneads. It's also violent to bread add-ins, so if you want large chunks of anything or unmolested seeds, it's best to add them by hand after the dough is kneaded.
A stand mixer straddles the line between hand kneading and a food processor. It eliminates the hand work, and while it's slightly faster than hand kneading, it's nowhere near as fast as a food processor.
Since the stand mixer isn't as fast as a food processor, it allows the baker to watch the development of the dough and add ingredients along the way. It isn't as violent as the food processor and doesn't cut gluten strands. It's also less damaging to bread add-ins, so you can add seeds, nuts, and dried fruit and expect that most of them will remain intact.
While the stand mixer heats the dough a little bit, it doesn't get nearly as warm as a dough kneaded in a food processor, so you can knead for a much longer time without any fear of overheating the yeast.
It's also unlikely that you'll overknead a dough with a stand mixer. It's theoretically possible if you leave it kneading for a long period of time, but it's not going to happen in a fraction of a second when you go answer the phone.
While kneading dough with a stand mixer is slightly faster than hand kneading, some would say that cleaning the bowl and dough hook makes up for that saved time. However, I find that the benefit is that while the stand mixer is running, I can do something else with at the same time – preheat the oven, prep the baking sheet or loaf pan, or do something else in the kitchen. I don't need to watch it as carefully as the food processor, and I don't need to interact with it constantly.
On the downside, I've heard the criticism that dough kneaded in a stand mixer is "too organized" – that the gluten strands are all following the spiral pattern of the dough hook rather than being more haphazard as in a hand-kneaded dough.
In the end, the kneading (or no-kneading) method you choose is a personal preference. And of course, you can mix and match the methods, letting a machine (or time) do most of the work, then finishing kneading by hand. Each method yields slightly different results – which is "best" is entirely up to you.

What do you think of using just the knead setting of a bread machine and baking in the oven?

- Donna Currie said...
Evan, I'm a bit new to the bread machine world. I just recently acquired one, and I'm still fiddling around with it. But I do know a lot of people who use the machine to do the kneading for them. I'd say that it depends on the machine itself. If it does a good job developing the gluten, I see no reason why you couldn't use it.

Welcome to the Democratic National Convention, America. Now Remember Who You Belong To!
I've said before the unofficial motto of the Democratic Party the past few decades could be summed up in Benito Mussolini's famous definition of totalitarianism, "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state". Tonight, the video that opened the Democratic National Convention proved that once and for all.
Here is a snippet from that video, which features the line that would make Il Duce's chest burst with pride — "The Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To"
No interpretation of that statement is true. We are not the government. The Constitution does not begin with the words "We, the Government of the United States". Abraham Lincoln did not speak of "a government of the people, by the people, to which all the people belong". Washington, DC does not own us nor does it have any claim over any part of our lives but the ones we grant it. Government exists because we free people, who hold rights the government did not grant and thus has no rightful power to take away, allow it to exist. We may change it at any time we want. We may tear it down with our own hands if it pleases us to do so because government — the structure by which we decide how to order our free society — belongs to us. Each of us, individually, owns it by dint of our citizenship and our Creator-granted rights.
I know the Democrats do not want this to be so. You often see left-wing pundits squawking about how a tax cut "costs" the government, as if our government is a feudal lord who graciously allows us to keep a few crumbs of hard-earned bread. That's not only wrong; it is flatly un-American.
You probably already know that on the same day the Democrats worshiped around the altar of Big Nanny Government, our national debt broke $16 trillion dollars. Our elected officials in Washington have thrown a big party, complete with a $2 million intern, a travel budget that would choke a Fortune 500 company, and (quite literally) the fatted pig. They have thrown money at bad idea after bad idea in amounts that would make Scrooge McDuck blush and they can't even explain how their programs work in straight, unvarnished English.
The message this week in Charlotte is clear. Government is America and Americans belong to the government. To nail that message down over the next few days, the Democrats have lined up an impressively familiar array of government officials to tell us just how awesome they are. Of the 81 convention speakers listed this past weekend on the DNC web site, 76 are current or former government officials, people running for government office, or people who make their living shilling for more government. Here is the breakdown (excluding President Obama and Vice President Biden):
- 2 Presidents
- 7 Senators
- 27 Members of the House of Representatives
- 13 Governors
- 4 State Officials
- 9 Mayors
- 6 Cabinet Secretaries (including the head of the Small Business Administration)
- 3 Candidates
- 5 Professional Activists
Of the remaining five, two are celebrities (and one of those, Eva Longoria, is a Obama campaign co-chair). That is the lineup of career bureaucrats and professional leeches who want you to believe that you belong to them, that your life ought to be subject to their whims, that your judgement is inferior to theirs. You can buy what they're selling, sure. Just know that you'll pay plenty and get back only what's left after they take care of their rich union boss buddies and campaign contributors.
Or, you know, you could take your country and your life out of their hands and control it the way God and the Founders intended. It's entirely up to you.

The system has 3 unique and attractive features.
Optimal has competitively tendered against other possible energy saving solutions in the past and has come out on top, winning contracts with a number of blue chip companies, typically due to the ease and cost effectiveness of retrofitting our system and the reliability of the data it produces.
Optimal Monitoring has received the backing, approval and support from a number of significant opinion and policy leaders such as the Energy Saving and Technology Association, and the Society of Information Technology Managers.
With energy costs rising and the constant desire for organisations to be seen to be reducing their carbon footprint, the Optimal Monitoring system is a cost efficient and effective system to help achieve this goal.
"Lighting is one of the largest energy saving potentials for the NHS, accounting for circa 21% of the total energy bill. Good housekeeping and staff training can help achieve significant savings."
Mike Perry, Modern Built Environment KTN

Exchange Email Storage Limits
Email storage on KU's email system is provided for currently enrolled students, faculty, staff, and approved affiliates of the University of Kansas. All accounts have a default maximum email storage limit of 2 GB. If more space is needed beyond the 2 GB default, users may request a 2 GB increase in email storage. Students are limited to one increase request. Please note: IMAP and POP capability will not function beyond 4 GB.
- Accounts exceeding 1.9 GB will receive warning messages from the system administrator.
- Accounts exceeding 2 GB will be unable to send messages.
Departmental Accounts
Faculty or staff members using their individual email accounts for departmental tasks or research functions may request a departmental account. See if a separate departmental account would be appropriate for you. Departmental accounts have the same email storage limits as individual accounts.
Mailboxes Exceeding Size Limits
If you get messages from the System Administrator stating that, "Your mailbox is over its size limit," please take a few minutes to review the options below. The information provided in the KU IT Knowledgebase articles can help free up space in your account.
Mailbox Cleanup
Outlook has clean up tools to keep inbox sizes within limits and also delete junk and deleted mails.
If most of your mailbox space is taken up by attachments, take a little time to identify the large attachments. If those attachments are already stored somewhere else, it is unlikely that they need to be stored in the mailbox, too. The email can be kept while removing the attachment. Depending on the number and size of attachments, this could greatly reduce the amount of space needed.
For information on mailbox cleanup, please see our knowledgebase article.

How many readers know that in Yosemite National Park, a few miles north of Yosemite Valley, lies the 1120 acre valley of the Tuolumne River, "a wonderfully exact counterpart of Yosemite Valley. . . a grand landscape garden, one of Nature's rarest and most precious mountain temples." (John Muir) But this valley, the Hetch Hetchy, including 800 feet of cascades and waterfalls along four miles of the Tuolumne River, lies under 300 feet of water.
How could this have happened? In an unprecedented action within a National Park, Congress narrowly passed the Raker Act in 1913, which authorized San Francisco to construct the O'Shaughnessy Dam and reservoir on the Tuolumne River in the Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.
This was in spite of vigorous opposition by citizens across the nation, led by John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club, who fumed, "Dam Hetch Hetchy! As well dam for water tanks the people's cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man." Muir died the following year, some say of a broken heart. The dam was completed in 1923, and the valley was flooded under several hundred feet of water.
RESTORE HETCH HETCHY, a citizen group including expert naturalists, attorneys, engineers, economists, public policy and public finance experts, artists, and teachers is working to restore this beautiful valley. They have recently completed a study exploring win-win solutions for Hetch Hetchy and the San Francisco Bay Area water and power users. In November Governor Schwarzenegger directed state agencies to undertake a comprehensive study of the costs and benefits of restoring Hetch Hetchy Valley within Yosemite National Park.
For further information and to support this effort, visit www.hetchhetchy.org. Thank Governor Schwarzenegger for ordering the restoration study (See contact information below.)
Since the days of John Muir, the Sierra Club has supported the preservation, and now the restoration, of Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley. For more information visit www.sierraclub.org/ca/hetchhetchy/. To view a photo of Campfire Girls enjoying Hetch Hetchy in 1919, visit www.sierraclub.org/ca/hetchhetchy/camp_fire_girls.asp.
And, the next time you're in Yosemite, visit the Hetch Hetchy site!

text: I recently brewed an all Dry Malt extract German wheat and it came out great. However, I want to make simple batches too and have questions regarding this below. Hopefully you all can help. - If I use LME kit and 1kg of corn sugar, I should boil the mixture right (to make sure and sanitize)? I don't need to boil long though because the LME is already condensed Wort correct? o Can I boil these on my stove top with much smaller amount of water and then use cold tap water for the majority of my mix in the primary so it cools much easier to between 90 an 75 degrees. (instead of full 5.5 gallon boil and then using ice to cool down). I don't have wort chiller yet. - How again do you aerate the wort? Can you simply shake the primary after cooling? (or is this bad way to aerate) - Can you work in the yeast in the primary by shaking it after adding the yeast?(or should I just add it on top and give it a nice stir with a sanitized spoon) - For kits that just use 1kg of sugar and Liquid Malt Extract, can I simply just ferment in the primary, (but maybe give it 2 weeks in the primary) move to a bottling bucket and then immediately prime, bottle, and let condition? o Or maybe I have even heard that you can ferment the primary in the bottling bucket since it is a primary too and then just straight bottle from there? Remember I am just talking about making Simple beer from LME. I have made a Germany Wheat with an all Dry Malt Extract kit and it came out great. It just took longer with the full boil and chilling the 5 to 5.5gallons with Ice in the sink. I will still brew both kinds but want to be able to make good tasting simple beers as well. Looking forward to responses. Cheers for Beers!!!
