A pair of creative St. Paul schools with the proven ability to change will have new leadership in 2014-15.
The school district has tapped Dave Gundale to lead Open World Learning Community (OWL) when it moves to a new home at the former Humboldt Middle School on the city's West Side.
OWL made history in a previous incarnation as the district's first magnet school, and has thrived with a new focus on expeditionary learning -- a change brought about by a forced restructuring.
In recent years, OWL has occupied a two-school site at 65 E. Kellogg Blvd. downtown with Creative Arts High School. In October, the school board voted to relocate OWL after district administrators determined that the downtown site was too small for both schools.
Gundale was assistant principal for OWL and Creative Arts for the past two years. Valerie Littles-Butler, current principal of the two-school site, will remain as principal at Creative Arts.
Steve Unowsky, the district's assistant superintendent of middle schools, wrote in a Jan. 9 letter to the OWL community that Gundale was "absolutely the best choice" to take over as principal of OWL because he was fully trained in expeditionary learning and helped lead implementation of the OWL program.
The grades 6-12 school emphasizes hands-on learning and has seen students take expeditions to the Mississippi River or visit the Science Museum of Minnesota.
In charter school news, Great River School (GRS), a grades 1-12 Montessori school, will begin preparing for change at the top after head of school Christina Beck and Montessori director Ben Moudry both announced recently they would be moving on to new challenges following the current school year.
Moudry, one of the charter school's founders, has accepted the position of head of school at The Grove School in Redlands, Calif.
Beck, who has lived previously in a community farm setting, told families in a letter last week that she and her husband will return this summer to community farm life as co-workers at a non-profit farm in the St. Croix Valley in Wisconsin. The farm will work with other groups to provide organic food to needy urban families, she wrote in the Jan. 9 letter.
She added that the timing of the departures "was purely coincidental and we are choosing to see it as an opportunity to evaluate our governance structure and determine the best configuration for GRS into its next phase of organizational development."
The school at 1326 Energy Drive started with a grades 7-10 program in 2004-05 and completed the move to its current grades 1-12 structure in 2012-13.

For his part, Asante maintains that the department's downfall was a university conspiracy.
"We believe that Joyce was going to be the instrument that was going to dismantle the Afrocentric idea," Asante told me.
As far as the efforts to have Joyce removed from the department, the issue is moot. Joyce has been invited to join the women's studies department at Temple. The university asked African American studies to choose its next chair from within the department. Realizing the high stakes, Asante nominated himself as a candidate. That stratagem failed, but Asante currently appears to be friendly with Nathaniel Norment Jr., a nine-year veteran of the department who was recently named. With Joyce out of the way and with one of the old guard Afrocentrists at the helm, perhaps Asante can finally get his groove back.
When asked what the future holds for his creation, Asante remains optimistic about the department and more importantly the future of his Afrocentric theory: "The future of Afrocentricity is that in order for those departments [such as Berkeley and Harvard] to be legitimate and justify their existence, they will eventually have to be Afrocentric. Because if you don't study African phenomena from the standpoint of Black people as agents, then from whose point of view are you studying them?"
Whether or not Temple's African American studies can make a comeback, those sharing the African-centered perspective are banking on its survival by distancing the message from the messenger.
"There is a future for Afrocentricity," says Joyce. "But not for that word. Some of the things that Asante proposes are very legitimate, but because the word has become so negative, because the word has become connected to him, and because he has manifested so much negative behavior, the word has lost all of its fervor, all of its sincerity, all of its power.'

Tauck Director Each departure is hosted by one Tauck Director for every 40 Tauck guests (with a maximum of 160 Tauck guests on board this yacht, which accommodates no more than 264 passengers total), who will remain with the group throughout the duration of the tour. Your Tauck Directors are professional, fully trained employees of Tauck Gratuities Included All customary gratuities for hotel and ship staff, local guides, drivers and Tauck Directors are included. Luggage Handling and Restrictions Checked Luggage – General Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm). Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences. Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home! Carry-on Luggage - General Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc. For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel. No Options Sold Tauck Directors assist with information on free-time activities based on honest opinion and guidance, but they will not sell you anything. This means better value and a more relaxed and pleasant experience for you. On Tour Flights Travel Documents Required Alaska's Inside Passage begins in Juneau, Alaska, U.S., and ends in Vancouver, Canada. If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey to enter Canada. Click here for more information on the U.S. Department of Customs and Border Patrol website. If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not require a visa for the short duration of this tour. Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation. If you are a frequent traveler to Canada from the U.S., you may benefit from the NEXUS program which is a joint initiative between the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency and the Canada Border Services Agency that allows pre-screened and approved travelers faster processing at designated highway lanes in high-volume border crossing locations, at certain airports, and at certain marine reporting locations in the Great Lakes and Seattle regions. For further information, you may log on to the Nexus Internet site by clicking here. If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally, please contact an embassy or consulate of Canada and of the U.S. to determine what travel documentation will be required. Anyone with a criminal record (including some misdemeanors such as Driving While Impaired (DWI) charges) may be excluded or removed from Canada, and should contact a Canadian embassy or consulate well in advance of any planned travel to ensure proper travel documentation. Every guest will be issued a boarding card that must be presented before embarking the ship in each port. We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen. International maritime security guidelines require that your passport information be provided to us prior to your embarkation. You need to provide this information to us as soon as you book your cruise or boarding may be denied. Once you board the ship, your passport will be held by the purser until you disembark. Not Included Transportation Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included. Airfare may be purchased from us for travel originating in the United States. Hotel Rooms Before and After Tours To avoid jet lag and possible flight delays, you may wish to make hotel arrangements for the nights preceding or following your cruise. As a service, we will book additional nights for you on a space-available basis using special rates only available through us. Hotel room charges will be added to the cruise cost. Airport transfers are included for these extended stays as described above under Inclusive Prices. If you wish to spend additional nights, please consult Extend Your Trip in the Accommodations section above on this webpage and discuss it with your reservations sales consultant or your travel agent when you book your cruise. Luggage Responsibility Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible, assume liability or accept claims for loss or damage to luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline and group carrier handling. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Please refer to the Tauck Travel Protection Product section below on this webpage for more information. Lost luggage is an unfortunate possibility in today's world of airline travel. We suggest that you: Pack at least one change of clothing in your carry-on bag Split your items between your suitcase and a traveling companion's suitcase Do not pack any vital medications or valuables in your checked luggage Confirm that your luggage is checked and tagged to your final destination at airport check-in Place your luggage claim tags in a secure place for your flight File a claim for any missing luggage immediately before leaving the baggage claim area Secure a case number and contact information for follow-up communications Make certain that the airline has your onward itinerary Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses. Personal Expenses Personal Expenses such as phone calls, room service in hotels, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning, airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual airport transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant.

Holiday and Museum Closures Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or the many state, religious and civic holidays locally observed. You may wish to log on to Wikipedia to view a list of holidays by country by clicking here. Itinerary Changes and Price Flexibility We pledge to make every effort to operate all cruises as advertised. We reserve the right to alter or curtail the itinerary, or substitute sightseeing, hotels, and/or conveyances as deemed necessary. Any savings realized by these changes will be refunded to you. Any resultant added expense will be covered by us. Although not expected, prices on this website may be modified due to unexpected significant external factors not forecast at the time of publication. Photography On Tour Occasionally, we will use photographs and/or video taken by fellow guests or your Tauck Director on your cruise for print, Internet and other media promotional purposes. If you prefer that your image not be used in any marketing activities, please notify your Tauck Director at the start of your tour. Membership Membership will be granted to all persons. We reserve the right to terminate the tour of any persons who are abusive of others or whose behavior disrupts the tour. ATM and Credit Cards We recommend that you contact your bank in advance of departing on your journey to determine whether you will be able to use your ATM and credit cards while traveling. When contacting your bank, notify them of your travel dates so that they will anticipate charges being made outside of your hometown and do not suspend your cards for what may appear to them to be "suspicious" charges. We also recommend that you make a photocopy of the front and back of your ATM and credit cards to leave behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your cards are misplaced, lost or stolen. Cell Phone Usage We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone while on the motor coach, during group functions, when sightseeing and when your Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There will be many opportunities to make and receive calls at times when it does not affect others. Communication with L'Austral is via satellite. We recommend that you consider its use only for emergencies only. Additionally, satellite communications may be disrupted due to atmospheric and navigational conditions. Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine if your service extends to Alaska and Canada. Health and Activity Cruising Alaska's Inside Passage is very relaxing and the pace leisurely. To enjoy this cruise, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. There is a moderate to heavy amount of walking during our onshore excursions. However, for the most part, the amount of walking you do at the various sites and towns is at your discretion. Onboard ship, health and fitness devotees will find a spa and fitness center on Deck 5. L'Austral has a full-time licensed French physician and nurse on board at all times. The ship's medical center is located on Deck 3. PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. On board the ship certain outer decks have been designated as smoking areas. There is no smoking permitted in interior areas or on the private balconies of the ship. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour. If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly. If you are a resident of the U.S. traveling internationally, no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Alaska and Canada. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. The Travelers' Health Section of the CDC operates a 24-hour "Travelers' Health Hotline" at 800-232-4636 (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC website by clicking here. If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally, please contact an embassy or consulate of each of the countries on the itinerary to determine what vaccinations may be required for you to visit. Additional Information Travel With Children Age Recommendations ― Children 5 years of age or older at the time of travel are welcome on this Tauck journey. Based upon our experience with family travelers, we have a minimum recommended age for each journey to encourage comfort and enjoyment for all of our guests. All children must be accompanied on activities by a parent or guardian. At least one guest in the traveling party must be 21 years of age or older in order to make a reservation. Babysitting ― Our journeys are designed for adults and children to share the wonder of discovery together. If you require babysitting services, your Tauck Director will put you in contact with the appropriate hotel staff with whom you may make babysitting arrangements. There is usually an additional fee for these services. Many hotels do offer on-site babysitting services; however, babysitting services may not be available at all of our hotels. There are no babysitting services available on the cruise ship. Please note that our Tauck Directors are not responsible for providing babysitting services. Safety and Welfare Responsibility ― We welcome the participation of child travelers on our exciting excursions. If you are traveling with a child on a Tauck journey, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring that that the child with whom you are traveling follows all rules of safety during the cruise. By traveling with us, you release Tauck, Inc. and our partners of all liability for any risks and/or injuries to the child with whom you are traveling. Special Travel Documentation for Children Authorization for Travel If you travel into or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18, you should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child abductions in disputed custody cases and because children are at risk as possible victims of child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that unless the child is accompanied by both parents, you should have a notarized note from the child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note signed by both parents) stating that the parent(s) not traveling acknowledge that the parent(s), family members, etc. who are traveling into or out of the U.S. with the child have permission to do so. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, you may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed. If there is no second parent with legal claims to the child (parent deceased, sole custody, etc.), other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, or a death certificate, will be useful. Many other countries also share this concern for children who travel without both parents. To ensure smooth travel, we require you to comply with the travel regulations of each country visited. This information may be obtained from a country's consulate or embassy. Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, a medical facility will require permission from the child's parents to provide treatment. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you bring along a letter from both parents (including other pertinent documents as cited above) authorizing emergency medical treatment for their child. Children who are U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of the journey. We are not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by the improper documentation of any guest, including children traveling without both parents. While there is no definitive format or standard, click here to view a sample letter for guardians or one parent traveling with a child. Airline Security Measures If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport. If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information. For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here. If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport. Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times. What to Pack Clothing and Packing – Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site. The weather in Alaska is unpredictable. You will be visiting the warmer, dryer area of the interior and the cooler, wetter rainforest of the southeast coast. We suggest you pack clothing that can be layered for various weather conditions. Slacks, a sweater or fleece, a lightweight jacket and a rain coat are versatile clothes for touring, and comfortable "walking shoes" are a must! For the welcome and farewell receptions, casual resort wear is appropriate; formal wear is never required for dining with your fellow guests at a Tauck provided dinner. When traveling abroad, you may have the opportunity to dine at an upscale restaurant on your own, which may require men to dress in coat and tie, and women in more elegant eveningwear. Please note that swimsuits and shorts are considered unsuitable attire at mealtimes. Valet laundry and pressing services are available onboard the cruise ship for a fee; no dry-cleaning is available onboard. Hair curling and clothes irons are not permitted on board the cruise ship. On board, laundry and valet services are available for a fee. We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed. No medications are sold on board the cruise ship other than those prescribed and stocked by the ship's physician. Following is a list of recommended items to pack for your cruise: Flat, rubber-soled walking shoes for onboard Sturdy but comfortable walking shoes that have already been broken-in for onshore Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts An optional jacket and tie for men Casually elegant evening wear for ladies Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat Swimwear Gym wear A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night Binoculars (7x50 preferably) Insect repellent Camera, lenses, batteries, memory cards and/or plenty of film Lightweight, comfortable, sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in Battery-operated travel alarm clock Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella Zipper-lock bags Daypack for camera equipment Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your ship cabin while traveling Upon Arrival... Air Conditioning All motor coaches, hotel rooms and L'Austral are air conditioned for your comfort. Currency and Exchange Rates The U.S. Dollar (USD) is the unit of currency in Alaska and is divided into 100 cents. Only major banks exchange foreign currency. ATMs are widespread and credit cards and travelers' checks are widely accepted. Travelers' checks should be taken in U.S. dollars to avoid hassles.

Customs and Tax-Free Shopping If you are not a resident of the United States, you are normally entitled to a duty-free exemption of $100 USD on items that you bring into the U.S. To find out more information on what information must be provided to U.S. Customs and Border Control (CBP) upon entry, please refer to the CBP internet website by clicking here. You should also refer to your own country's rules and regulations regarding customs and duty-free shopping to ensure compliance upon your return. The individual states within the U.S. levy sales taxes on consumer goods and services. There is no federal tax similar to the Value Added Tax (VAT) used in other countries that would permit non-residents to obtain refunds of the sales taxes levied by each state. Electrical Current The electrical current in Alaska is 110V, 60Hz, AC, which accommodates standard U.S. plugs which have two flat pins or two flat pins and a round grounding pin. The electrical current on L'Austral is 200 V, 50 Hz, AC and 110 V (U.S. standard). If you bring electrical devices that do not conform to this standard, then you may need to bring the appropriate adapters and converters. Internet Access Internet Access is available as indicated below: Hotels - Complimentary basic Internet where available in hotel rooms; service levels are not guaranteed. L'Austral – Complimentary access via satellite is available on board, but please note that it is very intermittent. There are three computers in the Observatory Lounge on Deck 6 and Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship. Time Zones Alaska is 9 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (or Greenwich Mean Time); Vancouver is 8 hours behind. From early March through early November, Alaska and British Columbia switch to Daylight Savings Time and are 8 and 7 hours behind, respectively.. To determine current time in major cities around the world, we suggest you log on to timeanddate.com by clicking here. Elevation The maximum elevation on this tour is 2,865 feet (873meters). Weather Although the assumption is that Alaska is a land of snow and sub-zero temperatures, the Alaskan climate is actually extremely varied, caused by the state's six different topographic regions. The far north is extremely dry and very cold, with Arctic conditions and temperatures average about -20 °F (-29 °C). Summer temperatures in the lowlands are surprisingly high, averaging in the 60's °F (16° C), and they have been known to reach 90 °F (32 °C), and up. The southeast tends to be fairly moderate, with damp, rainy and sometimes mild conditions, with temperatures in July averaging 56 °F (13 °C), and temperatures in January averaging 30 °F (-1 °C), and the south and central areas tend to be similar, with slightly colder winter temperatures.

GPO committed to transparency
Monday - 3/23/2009, 4:09pm EDT
By Brian Drew
Internet Editor,
The U.S. Government Printing Office has laid out its goals for making government more open and transparent.
In a letter to President Barack Obama, Public Printer Robert Tapella stated that his office was devoted to the idea of open government, and lays out his goals for how the GPO can help achieve the president's goals.
Tapella points out the Federal Digital System (FDsys), a newly launched online information management system, has more than 154,000 accessible documents online.
He writes that the GPO is in a "unique position" to assist the president in carrying out his transparency initiatives.
"Providing transparency has been GPO's role since it was established in 1861," he adds.
Tapella included five goals and planned actions in the letter for the president to review. Those goals are:
- Position FDsys as the official repository of Federal Government Publications
- Enable and support FDsys to support public comments on pending legislation
- Establishing a demonstration project to apply Web 2.0 features on rule making documents
- Participate and lead efforts to standardize electronic publishing formats
- Link whitehouse.gov to FDsys for public searches of government documents
The letter also includes a flow chart with a proposal for collecting comments on bills.
Tapella sent the same letter to Peter Orszag, Director of the Office of Management of Budget, and Rep. Robert Brady (D-Penn.), chairman of the Joint Committee on Printing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hope After Loss Organization (HAL0) Helps Families - Physically, Mentally, Spirtitually - From Pregnancy Loss Sheboygan, Wis. On April 25, 2009, Chris and Laura Rector learned they were going to lose their baby after dreaming for 21 weeks of the joy they were going to have with their first-born child. Needless to say, they were devastated with the news. On April 28, 2009, their baby boy was born into heaven. The Rectors were referred to Cori Salchert, RN, and a certified pregnancy loss counselor at St. Nicholas Hospital. Twenty-five to forty percent of all pregnancies end in a loss. This translates to approximately 400 babies dying before birth in Sheboygan County. October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. The Hope After Loss Organization (HALO) at St. Nicholas Hospital has as its core mission to provide services to those families suffering pregnancy loss related to miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, abortion-elective or medical terminations performed at another facility other than St. Nicholas Hospital, and/or early newborn death. There are monthly support group meetings, one-on-one counseling, sibling care, extended family bereavement visits (especially for grandparents), written and DVD resources, and tangible mementos in loving memory of their baby. Local and national volunteers have donated essentially all of the memorabilia supplies such as blankets, hand-painted memory boxes, cards, and jewelry, etc. to HALO. These gifts help keep costs down for the Hospital and facilitate healing for many of the donors who experiences losses themselves and hope to give comfort to someone else. These items are given to the entire family. During the past year, it has become overwhelmingly evident that people appreciate the services HALO provides. The family is cared for in a holistic manner. Comfort is given in every area of need: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Guidance is offered to enable the family to make decisions when they face the devastating loss of their baby. An infant's passing or an abrupt ending of a pregnancy can affect people for the rest of their lives. The Friends of St. Nicholas Hospital have designated funds to the HALO program to ensure that it continues to make a difference in the lives it touches. In addition, donations of supplies, services, and money have increased substantially this past year, which demonstrates the growing community based support for HALO. HALO helps to take some of the fear out of the situation. For most families, this is unchartered territory and they have great anxiety over what is going to happen to them and their baby. By showing and sharing with them what happened in other circumstances similar to their own, they find they are able to help turn this horrible situation into a wonderfully enriching and memorable experience that is uniquely their own. "The HALO program helped us turn a tragic event into a celebration of a life," said Laura. "We left St. Nicholas Hospital with empty arms but with hearts so full of love for our child. Even now, as we are healing physically and preparing emotionally for another pregnancy, the HALO program is there tending to those hesitations felt from the unforeseen event." For more information about HALO, contact Cori Salchert, RN, Pregnancy Loss Counselor, at 920/451-7572. About St. Nicholas Hospital St. Nicholas Hospital is a non-profit hospital sponsored by the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis located at 3100 Superior Avenue, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Their mission and vision is to provide family-centered, compassionate care without regard for race, creed, or ability to pay. This is achieved through the core values of respect, care, competence, and joy. To learn more, visit www.stnicholashospital.org . CONTACT: Xue Yang |

Firearm Safety Locks:
Federal Agency Implementation of the Presidential Directive

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3610
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed federal agencies' compliance with President Clinton's March 1997 directive regarding child safety locks for firearms, focusing on: (1) firearms that have been issued to or are used in an official capacity by employees at selected federal law enforcement organizations; and (2) selected federal law enforcement organizations' implementation of the presidential directive.
GAO noted that: (1) the three executive branch organizations GAO reviewed that are subject to the presidential directive--the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury, and the National Park Service (NPS)--have issued about 72,000 firearms to employees, with Justice issuances accounting for about 49,000 of the total; (2) additionally, these organizations have authorized for official use about 26,000 personally owned firearms; (3) of this total, Justice authorizations accounted for about 23,000; (4) the Postal Inspection Service has issued about 2,000 firearms to employees and authorized about 400 personally owned firearms for official use; (5) the Capitol Police have issued approximately 1,100 firearms to officers but does not allow personally owned firearms to be used for official duties; (6) the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts had no readily available, centralized data showing the number of firearms issued to or used by federal judicial district officers; (7) Justice, Treasury, and NPS officials told GAO their organizations have taken appropriate steps to implement the presidential directive; (8) in implementing the presidential directive, these organizations are requiring that all firearms issued to employees, as well as personally owned firearms authorized for official use, be equipped with safety lock devices; (9) generally, these organizations did not require safety lock devices for firearms that are maintained in secure agency facilities and not taken home by employees; (10) GAO's review verified that these organizations have developed and taken actions to communicate a safety lock policy to their law enforcement officers; (11) the Postal Inspection Service has voluntarily developed and taken actions to communicate a safety lock policy to its law enforcement officers and has purchased safety lock devices for all permanently issued and personally owned firearms authorized for official use by its inspectors; (12) the Postal Inspection Service does not require safety lock devices for firearms that are maintained in secure agency vaults and not taken home; (13) the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts has provided the 94 federal judicial districts guidance on the use of firearms; and (14) however, according to the Administrative Office, each district has the discretion to establish its own policies, and the Administrative Office had no readily available summary or overview of current policies and practices in all districts.

Our Opinion: Red Cross a constant amid chaos
Thursday, March 15, 2012
Disasters create chaos, but the assistance provided by the Red Cross is a constant.
The organization's Heart of Missouri Chapter, founded in 1918, responds 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help people victimized by fires, floods, storms and tornados.
March marks the observance of Red Cross Month, and the area chapter's scope of services was described by Executive Director Dave Griffith in Sunday's "Your Opinion" forum.
We echo the appreciation and admiration due the estimated 300 trained volunteers ready to respond when disaster strikes, both within the chapter's 21-county service area and elsewhere.
Training is a fundamental component of the Red Cross mission.
Within the area chapter alone, Red Cross instructors in a one-year span taught life-saving skills to 22,605 people. Those disciplines include: disaster training, first aid, use of automated external defibrillators, aquatics training, baby-sitting and CPR for both people and pets.
Training equips volunteers to assist the Red Cross in attaining its goal to "reduce human suffering by helping people recover from natural and other disasters."
Statistics for fiscal year 2011 are revealing. The chapter filed 318 cases involving house fires and other disasters, assisted 904 adults and children, and provided an average of $445 in direct assistance in each case to meet families' immediate needs for food, clothing and shelter.
Disasters, as we all know, do not discriminate. Each of us, at any time, may be victimized by fires, floods, severe storms and tornadoes.
Although we may hope we never need to avail ourselves of disaster assistance, we take comfort in knowing it will be available if needed.

Ferroelectric materials have a permanent dipole moment, like their ferromagnetic counterparts. However, in ferroelectrics, the dipole moment is electric and not magnetic and so can be oriented using electric fields rather than magnetic ones. This opens up a host of novel device applications because it allows electrically digital information to be stored in ferroelectric thin films.
A few plastics are ferroelectric. These materials are attractive because plastics are so easy to process. However, their microstructures are rather disordered, which means that large electric fields are needed to switch the orientation of the dipole moments of single crystals. Typically, a few tens of volts are required for films just 100 nm thick and, to make things worse, heterogeneous behaviour at such small size scales prevents researchers from making high-density storage devices.
Alain Jonas, Zhijun Hu and colleagues at the Louvain Catholic University have now succeeded in simultaneously creating a nanopatterned film of a ferroelectric polymer and decreasing the voltage needed to switch the orientation of the permanent electric dipole on the polymer crystals down to a few volts. The result now means that the structures can safely be made on the nanoscale.
"The voltage range needed now is just 2–5 volts, which is compatible with standard CMOS technology," Jonas told nanotechweb.org. "We also demonstrate writing information at the 100 nm scale, which paves the way to using plastics as high-density storage media in conventional electronics. This is economically and environmentally much less demanding than current alternate technologies."
The work also brings us a step closer to all-plastic electronics that could be integrated into flexible transparent films or even fabrics, he adds.
The fabrication process to make the nanostructures is very simple. The researchers basically shape a polymer film by pressing mould-bearing nanofeatures into it – a technique known as nanoimprint lithography (NIL). While NIL has essentially been used to shape amorphous plastic so far, Jonas and colleagues have employed the technique to shape a semi-crystalline polymer and control its crystallisation. "In essence, we spin-coat a film, heat it, press the mould, anneal and then remove the mould," explained Jonas. "In all, the entire process takes just a couple of minutes and is easily scalable."
Better ferroelectric properties
And that's not all. Because the polymer crystallises in the tiny nanocavities of the mould, the resulting morphology is of a much higher quality than if the mould were not used. This results in much better ferroelectric properties, which in turn means that the voltage needed to store information is significantly decreased.
The researchers say that the arrays produced could be used as storage media for low-power, non-volatile digital storage, such as that found in mobile electronics (phones, MP3 and cameras, for example). The structures could also be integrated into flexible and transparent all-organic electronic devices. "We are currently exploring some of these applications, which obviously require further research before being demonstrated in real commercial devices," said Jonas. A patent protecting the technology is also pending.
The team is now trying to find partners to set up a larger research consortium that would explore different potential commercial applications. "We also plan to explore more basic issues related to crystallisation in nano-confinement and to the scaling down of ferroelectric polymer crystals," revealed Jonas. "We are very excited by the range of possibilities afforded by our discovery."
The work was published in Nature Materials.

Property type | apartment |
Minimum Stay | 4 - 7 nights |
Light, bright apartment situated on the top two floors of a 17th century Venetian old stone house fronting the sea. Newly decorated, with stripped pine flooring and air-conditioning. Huge roof terrace, with table that seats 8, sun beds and umbrellas - the perfect place for sunbathing after an early morning swim... Quiet seaside village, with minimarket and small restaurants, cafe, post office and bakery...
Awarded 4 stars (Highest rating) by the Montenegro Tourist Board.
I came out to montenegro for a weekend in 2007 and was amazed by how unspoilt and charming the country was - like Europe used to be 40 years ago... Amazing mountains, lovely sea and small walled cities of cobbled streets and old venetian houses... I fell in love and decided to buy something to make sure I could keep on going back!
Sara Davenport purchased this apartment in 2007
Its right on the sea in a small village thats still only 10 minutes from the busier Kotor town and marina. Its the top two floors of an old stone house and has the most incredible terrace with extraordinary views for miles around... 3 beds with beams - a great base for exploring the whole country...
The terrace again - and the sea right outside... also has a large watertank, so no watershortages in the summer when the municipal system gets overloaded!
The views from the terrace are incredible! 6 of us stayed here last summer for a week and the terrace was the high point - we ate, sunbathed and barbecued on it, only disappearing downstairs to plunge straight into the sea and return! Only a 10 minute drive to Kotor, we hired a boat and actually hardly used the car. Convenient minimarket next door and also local restaurants. The apartment is bright and sunny and newly done up - comfortable and quiet. We had a great time...
My wife and i were looking for a flat to stay in Prcanj and this was perfect. Clean, modern and great location. A really ideal base for the trip. We would definitley go back.
Impressive terrace overlooking the bay of kotor. Here you will have unobstructed views of the bay at every angle. The apartment looks newly furbished and was very well maintained. We had minor glitches with hot water supply and with the loose shower head but the care taker (Sandra) responded to our concerns right away and all's fixed within the same afternoon. We traveled with our 1yr old baby, Sara (the owner) was kind enough to provide a baby cot and even a high chair. Baby was super happy throughout the stay ( and so did the parents too!) the staircase leading to the 2 bedrooms upstairs is a bit steep, we travelled with an elderly mom in law, it was not easy for her to descend from the staircase though. But not a big issue at all, you just need to go super slow. It was a super relaxing stay, powerful wifi throughout the property, a mini market just downstairs and 2 great restaurants within a few steps' away. We prefer the Boka Bay restaurant more than the one which shares the same building as the apartment. We spent most of our time outdoor at the terrace. There are deck chairs with cushions, a large table which we used for most of our meals and also a large parasol. In the evening you may get some Mosquitos (I think it's seasonal) and they're all over Kotor. You can easily buy electric repellents or all sorts of repellents from the mini market downstairs. Parking is right behind the apartment and it was also very easy for us to navigate and find this apartment with the directions provided by Sara. We drove from Dubrovnik. In this apartment, you can enjoy amazing views from the moment you wake up until sunset. You'll be surprised to see massive cruiseliners sailing through the fiords so close to the apartment. All in all,it's really the perfect apartment for a quiet family holiday. What makes it so pleasant is the hospitable services given by the owner Sara and her assistant Sandra. They've taken the time to promptly respond to our queries and needs. Will highly recommend this place to our friends.
From the booking to the time of arrival the service provided by the owner and her rep in Montenegro made this a great experience, the apartments balcony is brilliant and all the facilities one could need. Location is perfect being far enough away from the busy Kotor to avoid the crowds but only a 5-10 minute drive or taxi in for lunches or dinners. Highly recommended.
The apartment definitely lives up to expectations! The roof terrace is fantastic with amazing views, a great place to spend time during the day and on an evening. Inside the apartment is just as good, newly refurbished it was stylish and comfortable. With easy access to Kotor (10mins by bike) but there buses also, lots to see and do in the local area. Sara the owner was very accommodating and helpful. It was a fantastic stay and I really hope to be able to return at sometime.
I enjoyed a fortnight's stay, along with 3 friends, in this well appointed apartment, with a lovely large terrace affording stunning views of the Bay of Kotor and over parts of Prcanj, including its beautiful skyline. The apartment is well situated for nice restaurants, cafes, a small foodshop, churches and the bus into Kotor. I'd recommend a stay.
Prcanj is a small stone village on the waterfront, just a ten minute drive from the charming medieval walled city of Kotor, with its marina, cafes, restaurants, nightlife and open air market...Prcanj is where Lord Byron stayed when he described Montenegro as 'The Pearl of the Adriatic' and the village is dominated by a magnificent Catholic church. It has a village shop which sells fresh bread and basics and various small restaurants. There are hillside walks and ruined churches up the mountainside and the clear clean sea right on your doorstep... Local people are helpful and friendly and it is possible to rent a boat and sail from the small stone punta outside the house. The excellent restaurant and swimming pool at the Splendido hotel are a 5 minute walk away, and the historic island church and Unesco protected village of Perast 10 minutes across the bay in a boat.

Revenue jump helps PH trim 2013 deficit
-A A +ASaturday, March 8, 2014
MANILA—The Philippines posted a lower budget gap of P164.1 billion in 2013 from P242.8 billion the year before, after revenues posted a big jump compared to expenditures.
Data released by the Department of Finance (DOF) Friday showed that the deficit last year was lower by P73.9 billion than the P238 billion ceiling or 31 percent lower year-on-year.
Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, in a statement, said the budget deficit last year amounted to about 1.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), within the government's target to limit it within two percent.
"The containment of this deficit is driven mainly by the 0.4-percentage point improvement of the country's tax-to-GDP ratio to 13.3 percent from 12.9 percent in the previous year," he said.
Revenues last year reached P1.72 trillion, 12 percent higher than a year ago's P1.53 billion but below the P1.74- trillion goal. (PNA)
