Oak Park's history is worth learning
Opinion: Columns
By Dan Haley
Looking at the crowd the past two Saturdays at the main library one would have to conclude that Oak Park's jaw-dropping, unparalleled efforts 45 years ago to stop the rapid racial change that had gripped and unhinged Austin — and instead somehow fostered actual racial integration — was nothing more than a lesson in nostalgia.
Old, white and mainly people who had actively crafted and contributed to Oak Park's bold efforts, first at the village government and then the elementary school levels, this was the aging choir of believers and doers who made history. And it is no exaggeration that Oak Park's success in the 1970s was anything short of historic.
So while it was affirming to gather with this group of heroes, the question was finally asked, near the close of the session on how District 97 tackled racial balance issues in the early 1970s, were there any current school board members in the room? Current administrators or principals? Teachers? Parents of today's students?
There was talk on Saturday about Dr. Elsie Harley, D97's first African-American principal, and the role she played over decades. Might be instructive when two of the last three principals to wash out in D97 have been people of color.
It was pointed out Saturday that, 40 years after the junior highs were created and the geographic boundaries of the eight remaining K-6 schools were redrawn to achieve racial diversity, seven of those eight schools — with some very minor boundary tweaks — have perpetually boasted enrollments that racially match up with the entirety of the village. The outlier, as always, is Mann which is less diverse than the village overall owing to higher-priced homes and the small number of apartments in that district.
My point is not to draw correlations between the lack of diversity at Mann and the resignations of the past two principals. I have no notion if there is any correlation.
But I am absolutely clear that while Oak Park's brave initiatives on race were launched in the 1970s, this is not a subject for the history books. This matter of racial integration is a live thing, evolving and morphing in interesting and complex ways. Sure we have a lot to learn from sessions such as Saturday's where three people who were on the absolute front line of decision-making in a very hot moment in this town, came back and shared their perspectives.
But who is taking what we learned — both the successes and the failures — and applying the lessons to this moment? Then as now we have a pronounced gap in achievement between black and white students. The discipline numbers reported last week at OPRF High School show the stubborn disproportion of bad behavior among black students and questions raised about whether the discipline is entirely fair. White, middle-class parents are still more likely to be active advocates for their white, middle-class kids than lower-income, black parents.
We've got work to do. We've made progress. The Collaboration for Early Childhood initiative is every bit as audacious as any taxpayer funded program invented in the 1970s. The two school districts and village government get major credit for this.
But there is a lot to learn from our remarkable history, too. One lesson is to rediscover just how contentious those years were. Large, angry meetings. A good measure of white flight. Inspired leadership from people who, it seems to a degree, surprised themselves at their strength of purpose.
It was a missed opportunity, Saturday, for our current education community leadership.

As a relative newcomer to Oak Park, I had really wanted to attend the two recent events regarding the history of racial integration here, but was unable to do so because I was attending to needs of children in my own home. If presentations such as these could be provided in another media, perhaps something online, I'm sure that many Oak Parkers would be interested.

Very good reminder of the need for the next wave(s) of leaders to step up, and for more of us to grow as leaders. What can we learn from our past to forge a better future? Complacency is an ever-present temptation, and enemy.

Uhh, neither... i'm in favor of Nxg4?edit: I thought they'd lose material due to theme of removing the defender, didn't fully calculate it though.
Nd5 is better. Be3 just loses a piece
13.Nd5 loses a piece. How and why 13.Nd5 loses a piece is the question in this puzzle.
Let's make it happen!
I'm not sure how the bishop-move alternatives to 13. Nd5 are good for white either:
13. Be3 Bxe5 seems to hang a piece.
13. Bg3 Nxg3 14. Nxg4 Nxh1 also seems to lose an exchange.
I'd rather 13. Nxg4 Nxg4 14. 0-0 and there doesn't seem to be danger from 14...Nxd3 15. Qxd3.

Did you have any bloodwork done to see why you had 3m/c? I had 2 m/c, then a healthy full term baby, then another m/c and then had bloodwork done & was diagnosed with MTHFR. In my case both genes that metabolize Folic acid are mutated so I don't get enough Folic acid and that causes a clotting issue in the uterus and it can make it to where a fetus can't attach and therefore can't survive. After that diagnosis I was out on high dose RX Folic acid and got PG with my YDD a month after starting the Folic acid. I am now expecting again and so far things are going great! All my losses the fetus died before 8w.

This wall sculpture is beautiful from a distance but up close it shows that its not the best quality. I specifically asked if it was silver because my monitor showed more of a brass look. I was told yes it is silver! Well, when it arrived it does have more of an antique brass tone than silver. I also had to wash lots of dust and dirt off which was a challenge. I assume it had been sitting in a warehouse unprotected for awhile. Overall this piece makes an awesome statement on my living room wall so I will be keeping it rather than dealing with returning it.

The mirror is beautiful and surprisingly lightweight. However, the color is a mixture of silver and gold, with gold being to dominate cold. Maybe the color antique silver is suppose to have a gold tone, but when I was think it would be silver. I returned the mirror, because gold would not fit in with my grey and white décor.

I ordered this mirror to display over a buffet in my dining room. It is large, shiny, and just gorgeous. I love it and think the price was unbeatable. It looks pretty much like another more expensive mirror by uttermost, but for a lot less and is just as beautiful. Also packed very well and arrived fast with no damage. It is gold though, definately not silver, but that is what I wanted. Very happy with purchase.

My silk plants arrived very quickly -- the day after I ordered them. I bought both the Silver Kings and ferns and thought that the ferns looked a little more life-like. The Silver Kings weren't bad, but took quite a bit of fussing with the leaves before I really liked them.I thought the plants were a good value. The wooden planters are nice and the plants look very nice when viewed from the top or side.... instead of the bottom. (I wanted to place them up high as I have vaulted ceilings.)

Silver found in mines is all the same, but pure silver is too soft for many jewelry, flatware and home decor items. Silver is usually combined with an alloy before being crafted into sterling silver jewelry selections, such as silver rings, silver bracelets and a myriad of sterling silver items. As a consumer, learning about the types of silver can help you shop for silver jewelry and other beautiful silver products.
Mirrors are one of the most versatile decorative accessories you can add to your home. Whether you are using them to check your reflection or to add flair to your home decor, you want your mirrors to be a perfect accent to your home. With all of the mirrors available, you may be unsure about which style would be the best. This mirrors buying guide is designed to help you decide which mirrors will complement your decor.
From extravagant gemstone cocktail rings to simple, classic wedding bands, sterling silver rings are beautiful and go with everything. Shiny sterling silver is versatile, durable and soft enough to be engraved or molded into a variety of ring designs. Sterling silver rings are popular for their neutral nature and incredible value. Sterling silver is one of the top metals preferred for jewelry and is a great choice when shopping for men's and women's accessories. Sterling silver engagement rings and wedding bands are available in many varieties. Add a sterling silver ring to your jewelry collection or give sterling silver jewelry as a gift.
As men's accessories, cuff links are both fashionable and functional. These pieces of men's jewelry take the place of buttons on French-cuff shirts to fasten the cuffs and add decoration. If you are new to the world of men's fashion and men's jewelry, you might not know how to purchase and wear cuff links. Cuff links should add to your ensemble, but not detract from the other aspects of your look. Use these tips to buy and wear men's jewelry with style.
Stunning jewelry armoires exist in a variety of styles. Asian-inspired treasure chests, oversized sterling silver jewelry boxes, mirrored Art Deco armoires and supple leather chests may catch your eye, but how can you introduce them into your home? An accent jewelry armoire doesn't need to match your home's decor, but it should be conveniently and artfully placed.
Braiding has existed for thousands of years as a basic way of joining cords, hair, ribbon and many other types of material. It has practical uses as well as decorative applications. The practice of braiding bracelets has been around just as long as braiding other materials but has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years. Braids remain a popular design because of their simplicity and elegance. Braiding is a trendy way to create friendship bracelets as well as fancier accessories, and braided jewelry can be worn by men or women. By learning how to braid a bracelet, you can create beautiful jewelry to wear or give as gifts. All it takes is some basic jewelry and beading supplies and a basic understanding of the braiding technique. You can then experiment with types of braided jewelry and accessories and create wearable works of art in many styles and materials such as cord, embroidery floss, leather, hemp and ribbon.
Gemstone jewelry both accessorizes our fashion choices and lets us show off a little. Although the accessories can be casual, like a birthstone ring worn every day, or extravagant, like a ruby and diamond necklace saved for special occasions, sterling silver and gold are still the preferred metals for gemstone jewelry, making each piece a small luxury.
If you love jewelry and fashion but find today's design trends don't inspire your senses, it's time to look at estate jewelry. Interest in vintage decor, accessories and heirlooms has increased in recent years, and this trend includes a renewed appreciation for vintage jewelry from the past. If you've ever seen stunning Art Deco rings or Edwardian brooches at auction, in pictures or in the media and wished you could wear such beautiful jewels, you'll be thrilled to search for these treasures among the varied offerings of estate jewelry. Perhaps you're intrigued by the creativity expressed in antique jewelry but are worried that you don't know how to buy vintage jewelry and get a good deal. This estate jewelry buying guide offers advice on purchasing and appreciating this jewelry to help you make an informed decision.
Shopping for bridal jewelry is an important part of the wedding planning process. You want your wedding day to be perfect, and that starts with the perfectly accessorized dream gown. Wedding jewelry is a large investment, whether you choose a classic pearl jewelry set, a luxurious diamond necklace, or sweet sterling silver hair jewelry. Give yourself some time to consider and select bridal jewelry to ensure that you'll be thrilled with your wedding day ensemble.
Dazzling diamond necklaces, shiny gold rings and luminous pearl brooches are often sentimental and always valuable. Rare gemstones and metals have enchanted mankind, and womankind, for millennia. Jewelry symbolizes love and commitment, and fashion jewelry diversifies your collection of accessories. Owning jewelry requires an emotional and monetary investment, whether you choose fashion jewelry or fine jewelry. You'll want to protect all your jewelry -- wedding rings, special occasion earrings, simple silver chains -- and keep it in like-new condition for a lifetime. This jewelry care guide outlines the basics of cleaning and storing these treasures.
If you are looking for a fun piece of jewelry that you can throw on with a pair of jeans in a hurry or carefully layer with other accessories for a special date, try a bangle or two. Bangle bracelets are simple and seamless. A bangle bracelet will either slip over your hand or have a hidden hinged opening. This minimalistic style leaves room for versatility, allowing bangle bracelets to be large and loud or small and subtle. Bangles are available in a seemingly endless variety of styles. Choose from diamond bracelets, gold bangles and beaded pieces. Silver bracelets with gemstones are luxurious, while gold bracelets that climb up your arm in spirals are edgy and sexy. Bangle bracelets are perfect for everyone because they can be worn anytime, anywhere and with anything. Find inspiration in our list of the top 5 bangle bracelets.
A wedding band is often the most important piece of men's jewelry, as many men keep their accessories to a minimum.

You can also choose from men's wedding bands featuring diamonds, gemstones, engraving, inlaid designs and intricate details. It is important to select men's bands that will go well with your other men's jewelry pieces or watch collection. If the task of choosing men's wedding rings leaves you a bit confused, consider our tips for selecting men's rings before you start shopping.

I am so picky about my faux florals and plants that I think nothing of returning any that are not up to par. Return shipping for me is less than having anything fake inside or outside my home. This grape leaf inside a beautiful intricate chest met those expectations. The grape leaves are lifelike and easy to bend the branches to your liking. There is a grapevine ball in the decoration that balances this gem of a decoration. On occasions I do add a 3" lit flameless candle carved into a bird for added effect with company. Give this one a try...

I ordered 2 of the trees and upon arrival there was an issue with one of the trees, it wasn't straight in the base so was "leaning". I contacted the returns and the replacement was shipped before they received the defective one back. Replacement looks great and am happy with how they look in the home.

Brewers Raising Ticket Prices Next Season, Introducing New Single-Game Structure
Published October 3, 2011
OWNER'S BOX: In N.Y., Tyler Kepner notes when Mark Attanasio bought the Brewers in January '05, the team "had the majors' lowest payroll, at $27.5 million, and a streak of 12 consecutive losing seasons." Attanasio said it "was possible" the team could re-sign impending free agent 1B Prince Fielder, but the team "probably cannot raise" its $85.5M payroll for '12. Attanasio "owns more than twice the percentage of any other Brewers investor and has full decision-making authority." But he "still owns less than half the team." He said that that figure is "about 38 percent." MLB Commissioner and former Brewers Owner Bud Selig said, "Mark is quiet, thoughtful -- he has a personality that really fits Milwaukee, even though he's not from here" (N.Y. TIMES, 10/1).

The Logo Inn team was great , they stayed in touch and kept me informed through out the process. I would give the four stars out of five. They did a really nice job on the Logo design and my web site looks great as well. What I liked about the process they did not rush me and they were very professional. If there was anything I did not like it would be the fact that some of us folks do not know enough about the details they should share more information right up front. I would have like to know about the end result before I purchased the product. We may have went a different direction , spent more money to get a better package. In the end I am still thankful for all the team did.

US-Iraqi force raids alleged Qaeda hideout
Sunday, 26-April-2009
Google news
- SAMARRA, Iraq (AFP) — US and Iraqi forces swept into a suspected Al-Qaeda hideout north of Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least seven fighters in a gun battle, Iraqi officials said.
The fighting erupted in a densely wooded area where Al-Qaeda had been regrouping, according to Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed Khalaf, the police chief in the nearby town of Dhuluiyah.
"Seven members of Al-Qaeda were killed in the fighting, including a suicide bomber who blew himself up during the clashes, and another nine were arrested including a prominent terrorist called Uthman Tariq Ismail," he said.
He said some of those killed were from other Arab countries, without naming them, and that the bodies had been sent to the main hospital in the northern city of Tikrit for identification.
US and Iraqi forces have allied with local tribes and former insurgents over the past two years to drive Al-Qaeda out of most of its former strongholds.
But attacks against security forces and civilians bearing the hallmarks of the terror group are still common in some parts of the country, including the capital.
At least 150 people were killed in attacks in Iraq over the past week, including 65 people who died in a twin suicide bombing on Friday outside Baghdad's most holy Shiite shrine.
Mullah Nadhem al-Juburi, the head of a US-allied Sunni militia in Dhuluiyah targeted by a suicide bomber who struck a mosque last week, said security forces had not previously operated in the area of Sunday's assault.
"This whole area had been taken over by the Sahwa, but Al-Qaeda had recently started reorganising there," he said, referring to the Sahwa "Awakening" movement of tribes and former insurgents who have turned on Al-Qaeda.
He said the operation followed US aerial bombing and the dropping of paratroopers over the area.
Under a security pact signed with Washington in November, US troops are to withdraw from all Iraqi cities and major towns by June 30 and from the rest of the country by the end of 2011.

Pakistan Denies Allegations Of Air Strikes Involvement In Yemen

Yemen stands on the brink of civil war amid deepening political tensions and an uptick in sectarian violence, United Nations Special Adviser Jamal Benomar warned [Yesterday] as he explained that only through dialogue could the country achieve a peaceful political transition.
Briefing the Security Council via video conference in a rare Sunday session, Mr. Benomar told the UN body that Yemen was on a "rapid downward spiral" as the conflict took on "worrying sectarian tones and deepening north-south divisions."
"Emotions are running extremely high and, unless solutions can be found, the country will fall into further violent confrontations," Mr. Benomar declared. "Events in Yemen are leading the country away from political settlement and to the edge of civil war."
The situation in Yemen has been rapidly deteriorating since the country formed a new Government in November 2014 aimed at ending a period of political turbulence and bringing about a full transition towards democracy. Nonetheless, the country has continued to be plagued by violence and mass political demonstrations despite UN efforts to bring about a peaceful political resolution

Humanitarian response plan requires US $747.5 mln for 2015: UN
Sunday, 08-March-2015
The United Nations announced on Sunday the launch of the humanitarian response plan for Yemen for 2015 with an amount of US $747.5 million to deliver humanitarian aid to 8.2 million people.
Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Johannes Van Der Klaauw said that the latest developments in Yemen confirm the importance of continuing humanitarian aid and expanding its domain to reach millions of vulnerable Yemeni people.
"Despite the political unrest in Yemen, the humanitarian community will continue to work in Yemen at its full capacity and within strong partnerships with local communities and local partners," Klaauw added.
He said that the humanitarian agencies are adhered to continue to deliver emergency humanitarian assistance and to provide protection services for people within the vulnerable groups.
He called on all donors and concerned parties to support such efforts and provide humanitarian response plan for Yemen during the current year.
UN envoy denies deal with Houthis on presidential council formula
Saturday, 07-March-2015
The UN envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar has denied what was reported by some Arab and Yemeni media about an alleged deal between him and Houthis' leader on a presidential council formula.
"I deny altogether these erroneous interpretations", the UN envoy said.
Those who sit at the dialogue table to negotiate with the Houthis (Ansarullah) are Yemeni parties, including the party of the person who made the false statements referred to above, Benomar added.
The UN envoy's role is limited to facilitating the negotiation process and mediation between the parties, and therefore he is not a party to the negotiations, he explained.
He went on: "The UN envoy will not be a party to any agreement because he represents a neutral party that does not have political interests in Yemen."
The presidential council formula is not the idea of the UN envoy, but it is an option adopted by several negotiating parties", he affirmed.

UNSC calls on political parties to reach political agreement
Wednesday, 04-March-2015
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) renewed on Wednesday its call for all political parties in Yemen to implement the Council's relevant resolutions, especially the resolution 2201.
The council urged Yemeni political parties to reach a political agreement based on the Gulf initiative and the Peace and National Partnership Agreement (PNPA), confirming its respect to the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Yemen.
Chaired by Francois Delattre, the ambassador and Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations in New York, the UNSC confirmed its support for the efforts made by the UN Special adviser on Yemen Jamal Benomar.
In closed consultations which lasted for more than two hours, Delattre said, "We have heard Benomar's briefing over the latest developments in Yemen, reviewing our concerns the lack of political solutions as well as growing of terrorist threats due to the ongoing security vacuum."

Written on: 23/01/2010 by fleecehatsbyjacaranda (3 reviews written)
We bought Jacaranda fleece ski hats for each member of our family for our recent winter sports holiday and they were superb. Great choice of colours and beautifully made in an original style which is head-hugging and has shaped earflaps to securely cover our ears with two layers of fleece. The kids were particularly happy with them as they are very light and comfortable and I found that for everyday wear they were especially suitable for wearing with my spectacles (other hats have tended to push the frames down). They were exactly as advertised - the whole transaction was a delight.

South Carolina With the Gift of Energy Efficiency
Luis Martinez, Senior Attorney, Energy and Transportation Program, Asheville, North Carolina
Joining its northern neighbor, South Carolina took a bold step forward for clean energy when the Palmetto State's public utilities commission approved a "shared savings" program to compensate Duke Energy if its investments in energy efficiency programs can save money for customers.
Six weeks ago, North Carolina took the same action, so the southern states are in tandem in pushing Duke Energy toward greater efficiency. It's exciting that the utility commissions decided to have the company meet with interested parties to develop programs to help low-income customers and promote on-bill repayment. Elsewhere, these programs have offered valuable energy efficiency savings, and we're glad to work with Duke Energy to help design and integrate the programs through their system.
The "shared savings" mechanism is based on similar successful approaches in other states that encourage energy efficiency: A utility earns a percentage of the measured energy savings it delivers for customers. In North Carolina, for example, Duke Energy's customers will keep close to 90 percent of the savings, and the utility earns the rest. The South Carolina mechanism will mirror the North Carolina one, giving Duke a strong financial incentive to achieve savings for its customers.
Through the "shared savings" program, Duke Energy will receive additional incentives for meeting a more aggressive goal of 1% energy savings. "Shared savings" should simplify the process for Duke Energy to invest and profit in energy efficiency. That should encourage the company to invest in all cost-effective energy efficiency going forward and achieve savings for ratepayers.
Across the Carolinas, more investment in energy efficiency will reduce the need for dirty power generation and cut the health dangers that this pollution creates. The program could entice Duke Energy to look to efficiency as the first resource tapped to meet energy demands in the two states.
With a greater emphasis on energy efficiency ultimately comes more jobs, since we need people to manufacture and install energy-savings measures such as insulation, better windows and efficient lighting. In fact, the 2013 South Carolina Clean Energy Jobs Census, released in October, shows that employment in the state's clean-energy sector went up 3.6 percent over the year before – more than double the state's overall rate of employment growth. The sector also generated nearly a billion dollars in annual gross revenue, a jump of nearly 12 percent from the year before.
The "shared savings" program will succeed the Save-A-Watt program, which ends Dec. 31. But the utility commission's decision to embrace this new program is a good sign for clean energy in the Carolinas. The Save-A-Watt program aimed to reward the utility for investing in energy efficiency programs, and Duke Energy Progress achieved savings slightly below 0.45 percent of all retail sales. But leaders in energy efficiency across the nation get more than 2 percent savings, and more than 14 states save at least 1 percent of retail sales a year.
NRDC, with our partners the Southern Environmental Law Center, the Sierra Club, the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League, worked hard to make sure we could continue to build on the progress energy efficiency has made in the Carolinas. And we're pleased by the actions by the utility commissions.
