Seliger Looks to Reduce Importance of High-Stakes Tests
Proposed legislation would allow students to graduate high school without passing all of Texas' required high-stakes tests.
Proposed legislation would allow students to graduate high school without passing all of Texas' required high-stakes tests.
State regulators announced plans to close 14 charter schools on Tuesday, the largest revocation in the state's history.
A lengthy New York Times piece on Deion Sanders' Prime Prep charter school in Dallas features troubling new allegations—but it may not be time to write the school's obituary yet.
Ten applicants pitched Texas regulators this week on the charter schools they hope to open. Here are their plans, with a few notes on each.
A U.S. Department of Education review finds problems with Texas' ability to spot school districts cheating on statewide tests.
There was no telling how freely Michael Williams might approve new charter schools. But it turns out, he was pretty selective—only four of the 12 applicants made the cut.
In response to a damning audit, Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams says TEA will get serious with those who cheat the accountability system.
If students skip class, Texas law is there to reel them back in.
State Rep. Mike Villarreal (D-San Antonio) wants the state to give parents to get more information about federally funded tutors. He tried to sell his idea to the House Public Education Committee on Tuesday.
In the consortium's first report to the state, in December, asked for no testing. No accountability ratings, either. They're writing their own standards, in fact, so they'll write their own tests. They'll write their own ratings system too, when they get to it. Essentially, these high-performing schools want to secede from Texas' testing system.

During its spring board of directors meeting in Boston, the Motorcoach Council agreed it is time to shift its efforts to an external focus by assisting operators to help them market their businesses to the general public and to provide support for those activities.
Earlier this year, the Council embraced the "Smart Move" campaign under the leadership of former Chair, Brian Annett. Developed in Europe and spreading to all parts of the world with a consumer focus, Smart Move clearly depicts all the benefits of motorcoach travel from the perspective of reducing congestion, reducing the environmental impact of travel, and showing the fun of traveling together as groups. By giving consumers around the world a consistent and easy to understand message about motorcoach travel, the belief is that consumers will find a reason that fits their needs to include motorcoach travel as part of their travel plans.
The Council also announced a new Operator Toolbox, available to all Council supporters, to help them market and grow their individual businesses. The toolbox will be available to current and past contributors to the Council.
The toolbox contains a series of professionally developed advertising pieces that operators can use and modify to add their own contact information, photographs and logos. Currently, they include a postcard, an email template, a safety brochure and "I Ride" print advertisements, which clearly depict different customers on motorcoaches with a message about why they chose to ride the coach.
Another development during the Council meeting was the resignation of the Council's Executive Director, Heather Horton.
"The Council is well on its way to serving the critical role of expanding awareness of motorcoach travel," said Horton. "I was pleased to be an active part of the Council's growth and development and have confidence that the efforts I was part of, will continue to expand and improve to benefit the entire industry."
The groups urged planners to add parking near the National Mall for the millions of people who will visit by bus and car over the next several months, kicking off with the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
In their meetings, UMA members shared information about their own businesses and rallied for backing of three critical needs: opposition of FMCSA's proposal to raise the Federal financial responsibility limits, support of Rep. Barletta's proposal to remove CSA scores from public view until the data used to calculate the score can be improved, and support to preserve the current charter service rule.
David Cooper of Pacific Coachways Trailways in Garden Grove, Calif., was presented by Bob Crescenzo, VP, safety & loss control, at Lancer Insurance, the awards event sponsor.
State police said the driver did not speak or understand English and did not know he was supposed to stop in Richmond, Va. The driver was reportedly dragged out of his chair, while the bus was swerving in and out of lanes for a half mile or so.
Suzanne Te Beau Rohde will succeed ABA's sr. VP, Government Affairs and Policy, Clyde Hart, who is retiring after 14 years.

American Made Matters Day: A Call-to-Action for Consumers
P.A. - American
Made Matters, an organization dedicated to educating consumers on the
importance of buying American-made products, is holding the 2nd annual
American Made Matters Day on November 19th. The purpose of the event
is for consumers to buy at least one U.S.-made product on this day, and to
encourage consumers to buy made-in-USA products throughout the upcoming holiday
season to show their support for US manufacturing.
economy can only thrive and grow when we prioritize buying American," said
Pennsylvania State Representative Mindy Fee. "I'm grateful that American Made
Matters encourages consumers to prioritize buying American-made products when
making their holiday purchases. Let's keep American businesses strong, and just
remember that American made does matter."
19th has been declared American Made Matters Day not just because of
the positive impact that manufacturing has on jobs, but also on local
communities, the U.S. economy, product safety, the environment, and the future
of America.
celebrate American Made Matters Day, events will be held in twenty-one
locations throughout the United States. These events will show the new American
Made Matters video, provide information to consumers, and give consumers the
ability to buy U.S.-made products. Some locations will offer food and music.
Many members will be offering online sales and specials, as well.
Don Rongione,
President and Founder of American Made Matters, says, "Buying American made
products creates jobs, stronger communities, independence and security for our
country, an improved national economy, safer products, and a more environmentally
friendly planet. Each of us can make a difference every time we make a
purchase. American Made Matters Day was created as a call to action to use our
individual purchasing power on November 19 and during the holiday shopping
season to make a difference for our future."
U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that every $1 spent on American-made
goods invests an additional $1.32 in the U.S. economy. If Americans dedicated
just a small portion of their holiday shopping budget to buying American-made
goods, it could have a very positive impact on our economy. In fact, according
to ABCNews, if each American family spent just an extra $49.95 on American-made
goods, the spending would generate 150,000 American jobs.
Russell, CEO of Bodacious Cases, says, "Living in America and being a business
owner allows me the freedom to manufacturer all of my products here in America
because of those like my father, who is a double purple heart Vietnam War
Veteran. I feel I owe it to him and to all those who served, protected,
and fought for our freedom and lost their lives. Making my products in America
is a way to thank them. In other countries, I would never have the freedom to
be the inventor, owner, and CEO of a company. As a country, all of us small
businesses have to stick together, so we can make a bodacious difference and keep
and create more jobs here for the future generations."
About American
Made Matters®: American Made Matters® was launched on
July 4, 2009 by the Bollman Hat Company, America's oldest hat manufacturer. It
is the only organization committed to promoting American-made goods that is run
solely by manufacturers. It has over 300 member companies located in 45 states
of the 50 US states. For more information, visit http://www.americanmadematters.com, or like them on

Camellia japonica fruit?!
One of. My camellias has prudeced what looks like a fruit. Assuming there are seeds inside. Can you propagate from these seeds and will the flowers be as he parent.?
Yes, you can grow camellias from seed. Flowers will not necessarily be the same as the parent(s). And have patience.....it can take a long time (5-7 years) before you achieve blooming maturity.
Here is a link that might be useful: camellias from seed
Be sure to read the link that gardengal attached. You'll learn that the seed must mature on the plant in order to be viable. The pod will crack and you can remove it from the plant at that time.
A good friend sent me a freezer bag of over a hundred seeds, wrapped in moistened sphagnum sheet moss. He told me to store the bag in the fridge until spring. It was late spring when I remembered. Every single seed had germinated.

The United Islands Republic of Adihan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister James Stewart with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.159 billion Adihanis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adihan. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Adihanais economy, worth 590 trillion Tazoes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 36,553 Tazoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Military spending is on the increase, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, and penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Adihan's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is officially none.
Adihan is ranked 29th in Rushmore and 28,483rd in the world for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 14.04 Net Tourists per hour.

The only one of its kind multi-faceted arts organization in the country, Seagull fulfils the need of the arts community in a unique manner— promoting collaborative and experimental arts activity across and within disciplines; publishing in the arts and culture and media; making available documentation and critical commentary; working with youth through the arts to address issues of social concern.
Seagull School of Publishing
The Seagull School of Publishing offers a professional course—in Editing and in Book Design—run entirely by practicing publishers, editors and designers who are passionate about the craft of publishing. Hands-on training. Loads of assignments. Conversations with professionals from publishing houses in India and abroad. Field trips to printing presses. Research trips to bookstores.

And a computer lab featuring the best of equipment and software.
Seagull ART
Seagull curates and presents art exhibitions—major retrospectives by senior artists as well as the so-called 'non-saleable' aspect or area of an artist's work, which commercial galleries are reluctant to exhibit. Intervening qualitatively and making a positive difference to the aesthetics of the exhibition, the entire undertaking is a partnership between the artist and the organization.

On the Web
The theme of our November 2002 issue was internationalization, and we were fortunate to receive quite a few interesting articles on the subject. One story in particular, Wayne Marshall's "Radio E-Mail in West Africa", gave insight into how much we can accomplish when we are willing to shift our perspectives a bit and work with the tools available—in Wayne's case, HF radios capable of long ranges but little bandwidth. Unfortunately, space constraints in our print edition forced us to cut some of the details of the e-mail configuration used from the article. The long version, however, is available on our web site at www.linuxjournal.com/article/6299. If you're interested in the details of how Wayne's radio e-mail project came about or how the setup differs for incoming as opposed to outgoing mail, be sure to read "Radio E-Mail in West Africa: the Complete Version". And be sure to check out the readers' comments at the end; a lot of people are sharing their unique communication setups.
On the topic of internationalization, Fred Noronha has been providing us with Linux and open-source news from India and neighboring countries. The grassroots support for software libre is strong, and even the government has expressed interest in moving their systems to open source. But are they serious? In a follow-up web article, "Indian Government's Reported Move Makes News, Then Fuels Skepticism" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6389), Fred reports that many speculate the Indian government is simply using free software as a threat to get Microsoft to lower license fees or make a local investment. As one reader states, India cannot rely on the government to lead the Free Software movement. "So we the people will adopt free software and eventually the government will have no choice but [to] follow the people."
Finally, we're certainly not opposed to stirring up some trouble; we just don't always know where it's going to come from. So quite innocently we announced the winners of the 2002 Readers' Choice Awards on our web site in mid-November in the form of a press release (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6380). We certainly weren't expecting the amount of reader comments we received—42 comments, to be exact, as I write this. So who comments on a press release? People who agree on one thing: our voters/readers are idiots because they didn't choose the correct winners. Some days it feels like we are all back in the sandbox, ready to hit each other on the head with our toy trucks if we don't get our way. So jump on to the article's web page and throw some sand yourself.
If you want to share the details of a unique system you've built at home or far away, drop us a line at email@example.com. Remember to check the Linux Journal web site often; new articles are posted daily.

Andrew Jackson's Faith on His Deathbed
I'm a big fan of American history, US Presidents, and how faith intersects with historical figures (American Studies was my undergrad major). One of my goals is to read a major biography of every U.S. President. A few months ago, I posted about the conversion of Gen. Andrew Jackson, late in his life. Surprisingly, it's become one of my most popular posts. I guess there's a lot of high school students out there doing papers on Jackson. But I love the story, because it tells of how the man who would bend to no one finally bent the knee to Jesus Christ. By all accounts, it appears his conversion was genuine and lasting.
In Robert Remini's biography of Jackson, he also describes Jackson's last days, and his evident faith on his deathbed. (One thing I like about Remini is that he does not steer clear of the faith of his subject, unlike say, David McCullough in his John Adams bio).
Bloated and failing, Jackson began to take visitors who wanted to wish him well and say that they had met him:
"Sir," the dying man croaked to one visitor, "I am in the hands of a merciful God. I have full confidence in his goodness and mercy…The Bible is true….I have tried to conform to its spirit as near as possible. Upon that sacred volume I rest my hope for eternal salvation, through the merits and blood of our blessed Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ."
The Hero closed his eyes for a long moment after receiving Communion. When at last he opened them again he stared at his visitors most intently. "When I have suffered sufficiently," he said very slowly and deliberately, "the Lord will then take me to himself–but what are all my suffering compared to those of the blessed Saviour, who died upon that cursed tree for me, mine are nothing." With that Old Hickory began praying. The Hero of New Orleans, the terror of Indians, Spaniards, British soldiers, politicians, and other assorted "villains," lay on his deathbed praying with fervor and deep conviction. From that moment on, said his son, Andrew Jackson never again mentioned his suffering, "not a murmur was ever heard from him–all was borne with amazing fortitude–he spent much of his time in secret prayer, as was evident from the movement of his lips & hands."
[At one point, Jackson fainted and everyone thought he had died. The doctor even pronounced him dead. Then he revived and began speaking to the family, calling for the grandchildren to come around him. Old Hickory would not go easily!]
Finally he said goodbye to his grandchildren and then the children of Mrs. Adams. One by one he took them by the hand, kissed them, and blessed them. He told them that they had good parents and that they must all be obedient children. They must all "keep holy the Sabboth [sic] day and read the New Testament."
With such an audience, all in tears, he could not resist lecturing them, both family and servants. He delivered, said Dr. Esselman, "one of the most impressive lectures on the subject of religion that I have ever heard." He spoke "with calmness, with strength, and, indeed, with animation" He confessed his implicit faith in the Christian religion, the hope of salvation as revealed in the Bible, his great anxiety that they should all "look to Christ as their only Saviour."
"Where is my Daughter and Marion," he asked. When he saw them he spoke again. "God will take care of you for me. I am my God's. I belong to him, I go but a short time before you, and I want to meet you all in heaven, both white and black." Everyone in the room burst into tears. The servants standing outside on the porch also cried out and wrung their hands. Jackson seemed startled by the sobbing. "What is the matter with my Dear Children," he said, "have I alarmed you? Oh, do not cry–be good children & we will all meet in heaven."
Those were Jackson's last words.
The Life of Andrew Jackson, Robert Remini, p. 356-358
May we all have deathbed scenes like this!

There is a new Superman film in the works. In this new Superman film, Batman will feature. It is tentatively and imaginatively titled Superman vs Batman. And where Batman goes, his Batmobile follows.
Vijay Pattni13 May 2014
First look: it's the new Batmobile!
Well, a couple of moody teasers of it. Plus, your first glimpse of the new Batman suit
Related content
So, ladies and gentlemen of the Web, may we present... the brand new Batmobile!
Well, as much as you can make out, anyway. Director Zack Snyder - the man behind the recent Superman flick Man of Steel - is responsible for filming the new comic book smack-down between DC's legendary characters, and has today revealed a new shot of Batman's company car.
As you can see (or not), the front of the new Batmobile takes elements from the 'Tumbler' used in Christopher Nolan's Bat trilogy, though the rear teases worrying shades of the earlier, Joel Schumacher-era Batmobiles. Worrying for anyone who's seen those films, of course.
Crucially, there's also a shot of new Batman Ben Affleck in his new Batsuit. First thing we can see? The ears... they're smaller. He's also been quite handy in the gym, too.
No word on whether this new Batmobile will use a 5.7-litre Chevy V8 packing 400bhp as the Tumbler did, nor if it will weigh 2.5 tonnes, or indeed, be able to make gravity defying jumps across rooftops. We are hoping for all three.
The film - which will see an older Batman - is scheduled for a July 2015 release, and expected to destroy every Batman/Superman fanboy's voice box upon release. Stay tuned for more Batmobile updates.
In the meantime, why not remind yourself what its 'Tumbler' predecessor was like around the Top Gear test track...

INDIANAPOLIS—LaDainian Tomlinson was dressing at his locker when an old friend stopped by and grabbed his shoulder. Marty Schottenheimer coached Mr. Tomlinson for five seasons with the San Diego Chargers, and he knows how badly Mr. Tomlinson covets a trip to the Super Bowl. It is an achievement that has eluded him, and Mr. Schottenheimer's son, Brian, the Jets' offensive coordinator, is trying to help him get there.
"Enjoy this for 24 hours," Marty Schottenheimer was telling Mr. Tomlinson in a quiet moment, "and move on to the next one."
Less than an hour had passed since the Jets had dispatched the Indianapolis Colts from the NFL playoffs with a thrilling 17-16 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night. It was a first-round contest that required a bit of everything from the Jets. In other words, business as usual: a sloppy first half, plenty of second-half dramatics, a stout defensive effort and a game-winning field goal as time ran out. Who expected anything different?
But Mr. Schottenheimer's words resonated. Even if coach Rex Ryan said he wanted "12 hours" to enjoy the win, many of his players already were turning their collective attention to next Sunday's second-round game against the top-seeded New England Patriots. The media buildup figures to be about as understated as a fire alarm. These are two teams that are not particularly fond of one another.
"We knew we'd get back to them. We always knew," said wide receiver Braylon Edwards, quick to cite the Jets' 45-3 loss to the Patriots on Dec. 6. "It's not even about revenge. Yeah, we got embarrassed, but that's the regular season. This is the playoffs. We're fighting for something so much different than, 'Oh, we got embarrassed,' and all the bounce-back s---. If we beat them by one point, it's a win."
The Jets, the sixth seed in the AFC, are a confident bunch once again, thanks in no small part to the performance of their offense. It started with Mr. Tomlinson, who looked fresh after sitting out the team's regular-season finale against the Buffalo Bills the week before. He rushed for 82 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per carry, and fellow running back Shonn Greene rushed for 70 yards on 19 carries.
Mr. Ryan was clear in his intentions before the game: Run the ball and keep the clock moving, largely to keep Colts quarterback Peyton Manning off the field. It was an effective strategy. During a 9-minute, 54-second drive that bridged the third and fourth quarters, Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Greene combined for 10 rushes over 17 plays, a series that culminated with Mr. Tomlinson's second 1-yard touchdown run of the game. The Jets maintained possession for 60% of the second half. As a result, the Colts had just three offensive series.
"It tests your conditioning, man," left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson said. "But I think it gives the team a lot of confidence that you can drive and pass the ball the way you need to, in critical times."
Such was the case with quarterback Mark Sanchez, who labored through a poor first half, completing just 9 of 19 passes for 84 yards with an interception. Almost all of his passes were sailing on him, his receivers consistently jumping for balls that were uncatchable. But he settled down in the second half, completing a much more efficient 9 of 12 passes for 105 yards.
His finest sequence of the season played out in the wake of Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri's go-ahead, 50-yard field goal with 57 seconds left. After Antonio Cromartie gave the Jets outstanding field position with a 47-yard kickoff return, Mr. Sanchez went to work. A 9-yard pass to Mr. Edwards. An 11-yard pass to Santonio Holmes. A 2-yard run by Mr. Tomlinson that put the ball at the Colts' 32-yard line with 29 seconds left.
Over on the Jets sideline, kicker Nick Folk was telling the coaching staff that he felt comfortable from anywhere inside the Colts' 35. And then, for some inexplicable reason, Colts coach Jim Caldwell called a timeout. It gave Mr. Sanchez an opportunity to huddle with Brian Schottenheimer and Mr. Ryan, who wanted to be conservative and hand the ball off. But Mr. Sanchez, with an assist from Mr. Edwards, had another idea. Mr. Edwards felt he had outside leverage on cornerback Jacob Lacey, and he urged Mr. Sanchez to take a shot downfield.
"Braylon's like, 'They're playing me in man, and I know I can go over the top of this guy,'" Mr. Ryan recalled. "And Schotty just turned to Mark and said, 'All right, kid. You throw the ball you want.' And he made that huge throw right there."
Mr. Sanchez's 14-yard completion to Mr. Edwards along the right sideline put Mr. Folk in much better position. His 32-yard attempt was true as time expired, and the Jets stormed the field as the stadium fell silent.
In the process, Mr. Sanchez, in just his second season, became the first Jets quarterback to win three postseason games. (Although that might be just as much an indictment of the franchise's lackluster history.)
In either case, the fact that Mr. Ryan gave Mr. Sanchez the autonomy to make his own call at such a critical moment once again revealed Mr. Ryan's trust in his players—a trust many say they value. "He's got our back, and he knows we've got his," Mr. Cromartie said.
And so the Jets march onward, their Super Bowl dreams intact, another challenge on the horizon, with little time to savor the experience.

Ya-ha! Gypsy Rose finally pipped!!
Just as I was about to give up on her, good ol' Gypsy Rose finally pipped today. The 2 unknown pips, which I previously posted about, look like they are, indeed hostas of some sort, as one is starting to slowly unfurl. And I think I figured out what they are.
I found one of my aluminum stakes with an ID tag in the bushes, no doubt the handiwork of the "landscape workers" efforts to rake out leaves from around the bushes. It said "First Mate", so one of the pips must be First Mate, since I haven't seen it yet. And the other pip must be Sparkler, although I don't see any errant aluminum stakes or ID tags laying about. A very good thing about using aluminum tent stakes for my ID tags is that they are bright coppery anodized aluminum which is easy to spot among the mulch and bushes.
MOCC: Well, MY Gypsy Rose has QUITE a ways to go to look as beautiful as yours. Mine is only a tiny pip as of now.
Remember Me is just stunning right now, with at least 6" of banana yellow leaves out. Rainbow's End is sending up lots of leaves as well. The little minis in my 18" ceramic pot are coming along. I love the contrast between the chartreuse Appletini and Cracker Crumbs and the foamy burgundy of the heuchie Frost.
I just went out to Westbury, Long Island to visit the famous Hicks nursery. They are awesome, but you have to rob a bank to pay for stuff! I bought some anti-SQUIRREL granules and have already applied them. And I bought a 3-plant pot of 3 different colors of calibrachoa to keep my Easy Does It rose company. I stopped off at my local Home Depot on the way home to pick up some Windex for my windshield. On the way to the register, a soft burgundy and yellow Crazytunia (Anyone see these? They're new this year) was calling out for me to rescue it from the clutches of the negligent Home Depot staff, who must be related to the "landscape workers", such is their skill at keeping the plants there alive. As I took it into my arms, a 6-pack of bright yellow French marigolds cried, "Me, too! Me, too!" So I succumbed to their siren call.
As soon as I got home (it was already dark), I doffed my purse for my trowel and planted the Crazytunia at the front corner of my garden, to keep Raspberry Sundae company. I planted 5 of the little French marigolds around one side of my Easy Does It rose, and the 3 mixed calibrachoas around the side facing the strawberry pot.
Dat's all, folks. Now, just waiting for Blue Jay, Cameo, & heuchies Ginger Snap and Sweet Tart.
BTW, my neighbors all think I'm a bit nuts when they see me planting stuff at night, as though it were some sort of CIA operation. Let 'em wonder...

Funds crucial for area schools
Americans will learn a lot from the U.S. Census "snapshot" of the nation, but many have a hard time making the connection between the 10-question survey and education in their own communities.
From pre-kindergarten to adult learning, census data is crucial to funding formulas that strengthen these programs at a time when a good education is more important than ever.
"Everything runs on data and information from the census describes the community and its needs" said Jacqueline Jones, director of Early Head Start in Wichita Falls. Jones pointed out there are 84 children in EHS with almost as many families on a waiting list to enroll their children.
"We're entirely funded by a federal grant and census numbers play an important role in the application."
Where census numbers count most for Wichita Falls Independent School District is in the free and reduced-price lunch programs. According to Lanny Gilley, who works with federal funding for the program, 56 percent of all children in WFISD qualify for subsidized meals.
"The census tracks the economically disadvantaged in every community, numbers that will be reflected in the funds available to each district," Gilley said. "Everyone needs to remember that school lunches aren't just about something to eat, they're about children having the kind of nutritional support they need to stay alert and learn."
WFISD adult literacy and English as a Second Language learning programs also rely on federal funding. Miram Mas, adult education coordinator for Region 9, says correct census data impacts more than just grant allocations.
"Accurate data translates to adequate funding, not just from Wichita County but the surrounding counties we serve." Mas said. "That funding gives us the ability to help adults earn their diplomas or GEDs, whether or not they're English speakers. Sufficient education affects the economies of individual families and the entire community. This is what people need to remember when they get their (census) packet."
Another impact of adult literacy can be on the census itself. Wichita Adult Literacy Council director Sara Shelton says that although the 2000 U.S. census reported that 23 percent of Wichita Falls residents were functionally illiterate, struggling with language could cause those populations to be under-reported.
"For many adults illiteracy results in a lot of shame. We know some people don't want that census taker to know they can't read or write," said Shelton. WALC uses private grant funding, applications for which rely on census numbers. "That's why we and many other aid agencies are encouraging all our clients, no matter what their circumstances, to participate in the census to make it an accurate snapshot of the area's needs."

succulent leaf cuttings drying up or turning black/purple
I'm a newbie in growing succulents as well as in this forum so forgive me for my questions. I recently tried to propagate leaf cuttings using what i learned from the internet.
1. Let leaf cut dry for a day or two
2. Put them on a 1:1 mix of potting soil/peat and perlite/pumice
3. Wait till they either root or sprout new plant.
My problem is that instead of what its supposed to do, they dry up or turn black/purple. At fist i placed them in the house, when that did not work i placed them outside under the sun. I sometimes mist them. What am i doing wrong? The succulents I'm working on now are echeverias and pachyphytums.
BTW, I live in the Philippines and it starting summer now.
Any help will do. Thank you in advance.
By partial sun, will it work if i just put them indoor where the sunlight somehow comes in? Base on my observatio, when i mist them often that is the time that some parts of the leaf turn black or purple. When the leaf turns black, should i discard them already or is there still a chance of life? Should i just mist the potting instead of the leaf or both?
Btw, based on your experience how does it take them to root?
sorry for so many questions.
thank you
Arvin, Since I don't know what you are using for your "leaf cuttings" I might add the following and please understand I say this only for clarity. It is important to use good leaves. The top set aren't the best and I don't expect much while you can see the difference on the set below. These are the SAME plant, Echeveria funkii. You will also note, I use coir as a top dressing for some cuttings and a very course mix for others like Haworthia.
When you remove the leaves from the stem, they must be removed cleanly and look like this example. This holds true whether it is a jade or Echeveria or whatever, IMHO.
I do the same for just about any leaf division. Here are some Haworthia leaves I removed from a plant that had lost its roots. They were put up about two weeks ago and I have new growth.
I've been having the same problem with my leaf cuttings, during the drying process they start to dry out and get mushy and brown. First i thought maybe I'm misting to much and that i should just let them sit on the dry soil or should i mist the soil NOT the actual cuttings??
Perhaps stop misting them as they simply do not need it.
Succulents hold water in their fat, fleshy tissues, so the leaf (if a healthy one) has the water it needs to propagate w/out being misted. Misting can be contibuting to the rotting issues, they'd probably do much better if you stop misting them.
Glad to see you're having success Arvin. Sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to get it going.
Sometime it happens & one doesn't even know it. Like BikerDoc said about cleaning up his greenhouse.
This is a window sill in NYC, western exposure, leaf fell next to its small pot of mixed Kalanchoes.
Small but cute.
Another leaf I'd pushed down into mix of its small mother pot.
kittieKat, they used to be inside the house. When i placed them outside in a shaded area away from direct sunlight they started to sprout. Btw, i also used rooting hormone - hormex. I placed very very small drops onto the calloused part. Maybe this will help

ill have to look for some rooting hormone cause unless its an accident of a leaf falling out and landing in the same pot with its mother (which to my surprise when picking up the leave) started to sprout a baby! - but when trying from fresh leaves in there own soil after a few days (i've even tried just putting them into the dirt without waiting) i've had absolutely no luck just a bunch of shriveled leaves :( ... some of my plants I have saved from being mistreated at small stores where they are never watered and all ripped apart and stretching for sun I've specifically bought and brought home so when they are nursed back to health I can try prop-ing with but have had no luck and now some of my plants are looking a little skanky with not many leaves on them, and I'm super worried to start pulling more until they kinda recover... but its not too attractive to have leaveless plants with long stems left sitting on the windowsill lol! but what can I say - I seem to have more luck by accident then by actually trying!
"some of my plants I have saved from being mistreated at small stores where they are never watered and all ripped apart and stretching for sun I've specifically bought and brought home so when they are nursed back to health I can try prop-ing with but have had no luck"
Quoting you above
Perhaps starting w/ healthier materials, like those that are NOT at death's door would yield better results.
And not to disagree with Karen, but the misting every several days / when you think about it is not exactly essential, but certainly goes a long way to helping Crassulaceae leaves / cuttings root. If you're in a less-humid environment this misting stimulates the leaves, along with some sun and warmth, to root. This has been proven both south and north of the 49th parallel, so it must be true.
Disclaimer - I haven't grown succulent in humid places, but I imagine the misting might be a bit too much for those with high humidity levels.
I have been planting my cuttings in paper egg cartons with the cut right at the bottom and then laying soil medium on top. They've rooted nicely (I check them), but are not producing new plants yet. Are they too deep? Some of the rooted leaves are starting to dry. Any suggestions on depth or how to get them to grow into new plants?
I don't know what it is about some Echeveria leaves. I have found, however, some just don't produce new growth. I started the leaves in this picture over a month ago and they are all rooted. In fact, I have tried to remove them and the entire unit comes up with a mass of roots but not one has produced new growth!

Hudson's Bay Company, which operates Hudson Bay department stores and Home Outfitter stores in Canada as well as Lord & Taylor in the U.S., and Saks Incorporated—Saks Fifth Ave. and Off 5th stores— have announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby Hudson Bay (HBC) will acquire Saks in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $2.9 billion, including debt. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the calendar year.
This transaction will bring together Hudson's Bay, Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue to create a North American retailer that addresses a broad spectrum across the luxury, mid-tier and outlet retail sectors, according to the companies.
Combined, Hudson Bay and Saks will operate 320 stores, including 179 full-line department stores, 72 outlet stores and 69 home stores in the U.S. and Canada, along with three e-commerce sites.
"This exciting portfolio of three iconic brands creates one of North America's premier fashion retailers," said Richard Baker, HBC's chairman and CEO. "This acquisition will increase our growth potential both in the U.S. and Canada, generate significant efficiencies of scale, add to our powerful real estate portfolio and deliver substantial value to our shareholders."
Steve Sadove, Chairman and CEO of Saks, commented, "We believe this transaction delivers compelling value to our shareholders and that Saks Fifth Avenue is an excellent fit within the HBC organization. We have made significant progress over the past few years to position Saks for future growth and to evolve into an omni-channel retailer."
The acquisition of Saks is expected to drive significant revenue growth opportunities for HBC, including the introduction of Saks into Canada through full-line, outlet and online formats, building upon Canada's position as saks.com's largest international ship-to market. The combination will maximize existing e-commerce platforms across all three banners to enhance customers' shopping experience. HBC also plans to continue Off 5th's expansion in the U.S.

Zhenya Gene Senyak | October 31, 2000 | Comments
The Dow is about to be reshuffled since GE gobbled up Honeywell. Candidates are telecommunications and new media companies, making selection a front-line PR issue.
Now that GE gobbled up Honeywell, the 30 industrials making up the Dow are about to be reshuffled. At least one new company has to be added to this major stock market indicator, and there are plenty of companies with a $50 billion market cap that qualify. Times are changing. Only a year ago, new ground was broken when old-line companies were bumped to make room for Intel and Microsoft. Word is the keepers of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) are looking at some telecommunications and new media candidates, which makes the selection a front-line PR issue.
In the past decade, media has changed even more rapidly and extensively than the industrial base of the Western World. Top-down, centralized media is giving way to distributed media, unlimited publication of print and broadcast materials in discrete packets tailored to the consumer. The Internet has emerged as a primary source for breaking news, shredding existing structures of news-gathering broadcast and print news organizations as they merge to make coverage of events available to consumers on a demand basis.
These developments -- paralleled in the changing composition of the Dow -- affect the way we allocate resources in advertising and direct marketing, and affect PR strategies and publicity tactics.
The payoff for publicity in the emerging media is faster and often more effective than in the traditional print and broadcast media, both of which are rapidly morphing into online versions of themselves. (Have you read The New York Times online lately?) But, like the architects of the Dow, much of our activity is driven by metrics.
Cisco Systems, for example, with a $400 billion stock market evaluation, is the front-running candidate for inclusion in the DJIA. And if the keepers of the Dow were going to go strictly by the numbers, that choice would be a no-brainer. But there are more subtle influences at work here.
To get a reading on those influences and what the changing Dow suggests about the shape of evolving media, I headed down to the local bistro to hoist a tankard with Heywood ("Woody") Beautus, a partner in the Beatus & Buzzhead PR agency.
"The way I look at it," he said, blowing some errant foam off his brew, "the Dow boys are barking up the wrong tree. Instead of looking for high-tech and communications companies, they should be more realistic. My first choice would be one of the oil companies -- say, Exxon Mobil. These guys blamed OPEC for high crude prices when gasoline was selling for $2 per gallon at the pump, and just this week, they turn around and report quarterly profits of $4.3 billion! That's the highest number cranked out by any U.S. corporation ever. Standing on top of a pile of money like that, we could repair space satellites without blasting off."
"But, Woody," I remonstrated, "Exxon Mobil is already in the index."
"See," he said triumphantly. "What did I tell you? And another group they should consider is Time Warner. Although those guys might be out of the running since they're in AOL's checkout cart. Let's have another round."
After a reflective moment allowing the barkeep to refresh our beverages, Woody brightened.
"I've got it!" he said. "We need to add a real growth industry to Dow, something that's going to carry on into the next century. And PR is right in the middle of it. What's the hardest thing about your job?"
"The client? Getting through to an editor? Writing a release at three in the morning to catch the market opening?"
He looked at me balefully. "Don't be a putz. Haven't you noticed how media are disappearing, newspapers consolidate, magazines -- with the features or roundup stories we helped reporters and editors put together - are missing from the racks?"
Woody was definitely right on that one. As reported by The New York Times reporter Alex Kuczynski (October 23), power has moved into the hands of the wholesalers and that means a small handful of companies led by Joel R. Anderson's Alabama-based Anderson News. "Of every 10 magazines on a retail rack in the United States, "writes Kuczynski, "Anderson delivers 4. If you want your publication at retail stores, you pretty much have to go to Anderson or three other companies."
To keep pace with the economics of print publishing, Anderson has had to divide its line of 4,700 titles into two groups -- the top 1,700 that account for 97 percent of sales... and the rest. Handling this massive amount of paper is costly. "Publishers are printing 1.2 billion copies a year that go straight to shredders because retailers, with limited rack space, won't let them in the door," says Kuczynski.
Anderson literally shreds thousands of tons of magazines every day, rain forests of magazines containing stories, photos, ads, and publicity we helped put together at 3 a.m.
"So you think the wholesalers like Anderson should be in the DJIA?" I asked Woody.
"Nah," he said, "they're privately owned. We need something public and rock solid, like the guys who make the shredders. In media, too. Keep your eye on the shredders."
We paid the tab.
