The Arizona Sales Tax Renewal Amendment, also known as Proposition 204 or the Quality Education and Jobs Act, was on the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Arizona as an initiated state statute, where it was defeated.
The proposal would have renewed a 2010 voter-approved one-cent sales tax to provide funding for education for students in the state who met certain requirements, scholarships for college students and reinvestment in vocational education and new jobs, according to reports.
The initiative was officially called the Quality Education and Jobs Initiative by supporters. The 2010 sales tax measure found on a May 18, 2010 special election ballot implemented an increase to the state sales tax by one percentage point, ending in 2013.
The constitutional amendment, which won with 64.3% of the vote, was supported by Gov. Jan Brewer, who wanted the Arizona State Legislature to vote to refer the proposal to the ballot as a means to alleviate the state's budget strain.

Text of the measure
Short title
The short title of the measure read as follows:[1]
|The Quality Education and Jobs Act will strengthen Arizona's economy by equipping children to succeed in the classroom, ensuring an educated workforce and creating jobs. This act, which renews the one-cent sales tax, will provide dedicated funding linked to performance and accountability for students of all ages and prevent legislators from cutting K-12 funding. Scholarships will ensure that universities and community colleges remain affordable. Investment in vocational educational education will allow students to graduate ready to work. This act protects public safety by ensuring continued funding for DPS officers and creates jobs by funding road, rail, transit and other transportation projects.[2]
According to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the measure would have used the projected $1 billion raised by revenue for the following:[3]
- $500 million: Quality Education and Performance Fund.
- $10 million: Education Learning and Accountability Fund.
- $90 million: Education Accountability and Improvement Fund.
- $100 million: State Infrastructure Fund.
- $25 million: Children's Health Insurance Program Fund.
- $100 million: Family Stability and Self-Sufficiency Fund.
- $50 million: University, Scholarship, Operations and Infrastructure Fund.
- $125 million: Inflationary adjustment for K-12 funding formula.
- Quality Education and Jobs was the group behind the measure.[4]
- The group was led by Ann-Eve Pedersen, president of the Arizona Education Parent Network.[5]
- Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton supported the measure.[6]
- Greater Phoenix Leadership were also supporters[7]
- Southern Arizona Leadership Council[7]
- Flagstaff Forty[7]
- Ann-Eve Pedersen, president of the Arizona Education Parent Network and chair of the Quality Education and Jobs Committee, argued that the tax helps education in the state. Pedersen stated, "Education is an economic driver and we're going to ensure that by passing this initiative, we're going to have good jobs for Arizonans and that we're creating a healthy business climate so we can attract new employers and keep the ones we have."[8]
- Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, an emerging leader of the state's Democrats according to 2012 reports, stated "Not only will this help prepare our kids for the future, it sends a message that we are serious about education and will help immediately with recruiting the right kinds of employers and high wage jobs to our state,"[6]
- Dan Sullivan, communications director of the Arizona Students' Association stated, "When passed, [the proposition] will provide up to $300 million a year for universities, half of which, about $150 million, will go to students in the form of financial aid."[9]
- State Representative Steve Farley stated, "We have to make up for things that this majority has decided to take away from our schools."[3]
The following are arguments that were submitted to the Arizona Secretary of State for the state voter guide. More arguments can be read here:
- "Rarely do Arizonans have the opportunity -- with a single vote -- to create a better future for our state's 1 million schoolchildren, improve the state's economy and redirect Arizona down a more positive path. The Quality Education and Jobs citizens' initiative allows Arizonans to exercise our Constitutional right to determine exactly how we want our own tax dollars spent. Special-interest lobbyists and anti-education politicians fear this type of direct democracy. They worked hard to try to keep this initiative off the ballot. They would rather dole out favors with your tax dollars than actually fund core state needs, such as education. The Quality Education and Jobs initiative prevents legislators from using the one-cent sales tax renewal as they wish. Legislators' hands will be tied -- by you, the Arizona taxpayers. Every dollar must be spent as you designate, with 80 percent of the funding benefiting education across the spectrum: K-12, vocational education, community colleges, universities and GED programs. To protect your investment, the Legislature will be prohibited from cutting K-I2 funding. Arizona must invest in education, not only to protect schoolchildren but to protect the state's economy. When companies decide to relocate or remain in Arizona, they base that decision on whether Arizona has a highly skilled, well-educated workforce. By failing to invest in education, anti-education politicians have put a "Closed For Business" sign in front of our state, robbing us all of the opportunity for prosperity. In Arizona's 100th year, we have the opportunity to exercise the rights given to us by our state's founders. Let's exercise that constitutional right of direct democracy to benefit Arizona's children, Arizona's economy and Arizona's future. VOTE YES FOR PROP. 204.
- Submitted by Ann-Eve Pedersen, Chair, Quality Education and Jobs Committee.
- "The backbone of Arizona's economic health is a strong education system. As the CEO s of some of Arizona's largest employers, we know that the quality of education affects our ability to keep and recruit excellent employees, as well as recruit new companies with good-paying jobs. We depend on our state's educators to graduate students with the skills necessary to succeed in our rapidly changing job market so that Arizona remains competitive nationally and internationally. The Quality Education and Jobs initiative provides the investment in education that Arizona needs to thrive economically. The initiative directs dollars to help teachers and students succeed as Arizona schools implement a series of reforms and accountability measures over the next two years. Arizona is one of 45 states that have adopted a new, more rigorous curriculum called the Common Core and a new test tied to the new standards that will replace AIMS . In addition, teachers and principals will have one-third to one-half of their evaluations tied directly to how well their students perform. Schools and districts will receive new A - F rankings that require them to move up their lowest performers or risk receiving a bad grade. And third-grade students must be reading at grade level or be held back a grade. We are raising the bar for our educators and students and we must invest in education at this critical time to ensure that our teachers in the classroom have the resources they need to help our state's 1 million schoolchildren succeed. The initiative also guarantees state investment in Arizona's transportation infrastructure, which also is critical to Arizona's economic health. Arizona must have safe and efficient highways, roads and transit for Arizona to keep the job-creating businesses it has and recruit new ones to the state.

- "The Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits supports the Quality & Education Jobs Initiative as a critical step to ensure the continuation of services that our communities rely upon. The funding for education, health and human services programs embedded in this Initiative are important sources of support for many nonprofit organizations in our communities. Without these funding sources, many nonprofits would be unable to sustain their work, leaving residents without critical services. The individuals, foundations and businesses which also support these programs cannot possibly raise their levels of contributions adequately to cover these lost public resources. Therefore, passage of the Quality & Education Jobs Initiative would renew the voters' commitment to these programs and ensure that our communities are well served."
- Submitted by Rhonda Bannard, Chair, Board of Trustees, Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits; Pam Gaber, Treasurer, Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits.
- Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who was the main proponent of the 2010 sales tax increase that this initiative seeks to renew, was against the proposal. Brewer stated that potential increase would not have given much room for the Arizona Legislature to decide how to balance the budget and set spending priorities.[11]
- On June 7, 2012, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce's public policy committee voted to recommend that the full chamber board oppose the measure.[12]
- Kevin McCarthy, president of the Arizona Tax Research Association, stated that the measure did not plan enough for inflation and had provisions that could have been difficult to implement. McCarthy stated, "When you're running an initiative a very small group of people get to draft legislation. Inevitably you are going to have not only policy problems but problems with how it is going to be written."[3]
- State Representative John Kavanagh stated, "So if we have another economic downturn, next year or in five years, we will have amply funded education and will be stopping other programs."[3]
- Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy, stated her group's concern was rooted in the provision of the measure that stated that the initiative would set aside 10 percent of the first $1 billion raised for the a new "family stability and self-sufficiency fund," stating that this could have meant that the money could have been used for abortion services.[13]
The following are arguments that were submitted to the Arizona Secretary of State for the state voter guide. More arguments can be read here:
- "Farm Bureau Supports a " NO " Vote on Quality Jobs and Education Act. Arizona does not need more budgeting by the ballot box, nor do we need to further hamstring our legislature. We will hold them accountable at the ballot box. Our governor and legislature are constitutionally required to balance the budget. Every permanent earmark makes that job harder. AZFB supported the temporary [emphasis on "temporary"] sales tax as an emergency measure, but the time for the sales tax increase has passed and it is time for the legislature to continue to do the things necessary to get our state's fiscal house in order. The twelve earmarks are more like the twelve days of Christmas...year after year after year."
- Submitted by Kevin G. Rogers, President, Arizona Farm Bureau Federation; James W. Klinker, Chief Administrative Officer, Arizona Farm Bureau Federation.
- "The legislature will not adequately fund public education. Unfortunately they have the votes to cut taxes on those most able to pay and to increase vouchers and tax credits for private schools if we impose an education sales tax. The legislature made revenue cuts as soon as the last temporary education tax passed. This time they promised to cut income taxes by an amount equal to the revenue from the sales tax if it passes. And they will give other tax breaks to the wealthy and divert more money to private schools. BEWARE! Tax cuts would be forever because it requires a super majority to impose taxes. Passing this sales tax would shift taxes from those most able to pay to a regressive sales tax that hurts low-income people. Higher sales taxes cut retail sales that are vital for our economic recovery. If we refuse to bail out the legislature with this sales tax, they will have to face the public outrage (and not be elected) if they make destructive cuts in education funding. The revenue would not cover all critical education needs. Unfortunately the proposition dictates which items to fund. This would prevent using the money for more critical needs that are not on the list. Voters are not qualified to decide how to allocate all this money. Many supporters admit that they do not understand the important details of this proposition. So they depend on what the promoters say. Before you vote, meet with others who want quality education and are willing to pay for it with appropriate taxes. Study the issues. Listen to arguments for and against this tax. Millions of these education dollars would be diverted to fund Arizona roads. Outrageous!

- The Arizona Daily Star stated, "Given that the chance of a wholesale change in the Legislature's members or political philosophy is unlikely, Prop. 204 is the best option available. Prop. 204 gives Arizonans the opportunity to do what lawmakers have not - support our economy in the short and long term by putting our money into public education, transportation and programs that support kids and families."[16]

Ann-Eve Pederson v. Secretary of State Ken Bennett
On June 28, 2012, Quality Education and Jobs Committee filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court, claiming that their signatures were valid and that their proposal should have been placed on the ballot. The initiative was previously disqualified by Secretary of State Ken Bennett (R) because ballot language on circulating petitions was different from language that the secretary's office had on file. According to supporters of the initiative, differences between the circulated text and the official text was a "hyper-technicality." Supporters argued that the circulated text was "substantially" the same.[17]
Judge Robert Oberbillig scheduled July 18, 2012 as the date for the hearing.[18]
On that same day, Oberbillig ruled that Secretary Bennett should not have refused to process the petitions. The judge ruled that the measure be placed on the November ballot. According to Oberbillig, proponents of the initiative gave Bennett the correct version of the petition and that there was no evidence that those who signed the petition were misled.[19]
Secretary of State Ken Bennett filed an appeal of the ruling, insisting that proponents of the initiative did not comply with state law. Bennett hired an expert in elections law to spearhead the appeal. Bennett stated, "To leave the lower court ruling in place I think risks huge voter confusion, huge confusion with our offices and other filing offices as far as how we're supposed to process these initiatives."[20]
However, that appeal failed as the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the measure be placed on the ballot. According to the high court, the text on the petition complied with state election law.[21]
Path to the ballot
According to reports, petition drive organizers were required to collected 172,809 valid signatures from registered voters by the July 5, 2012 petition drive deadline in order to make the ballot.
According to reports on June 6, 2012, supporters of the initiative stated that they had collected enough signatures to make the ballot. Reports stated that petition drive organizers had collected more than 175,000 signatures from state voters.
Although enough signatures were allegedly collected, supporters said at the time that they would keep collecting them leading up to the deadline in order to ensure that they had room for error.[22]
Ballot language error
On June 19, 2012, it was reported that a mistake regarding the ballot language of the measure hindered initiative efforts, potentially keeping the measure off of the November ballot. Reports said that supporters pointed to a "clerical error" in which ballot language on circulating petitions was found to be different than official ballot language on record with the Arizona Secretary of State's office.
According to Secretary of State Ken Bennett after this finding, his office would not accept any petitions that have a different version of ballot language than what his office had on file. Bennett said, "We would reject anything that was collected, attached to something other than what they filed with us. Potentially it's a huge issue, depending on whether they've been collecting the signatures for the version they have on their website or the version that was filed with our office. But we can only accept signatures collected, attached to the version that they've filed with us."[23]
Signature submission
On June 25, 2012, supporters of the initiative filed more than 290,000 signatures from registered voters with the Arizona Secretary of State's office. Supporters filed the signatures despite the controversy surrounding the ballot language. Reports said that Secretary Ken Bennett's office accepted the petitions for processing and would decide whether or not the signatures, and the ballot language on the petitions, were valid.[24]
On June 26, 2012, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett stated, after signatures were submitted to his office days before, that the proposal did not have sufficient signatures to make the ballot. Signatures were disqualified because of the difference in the ballot language on the circulation petitions and the ballot language that the secretary's office had on file.[25]
However, after litigation, the measure was placed back on the ballot.

A Homestay with the Aymara on Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca, shared by Peru and Bolivia, is the highest navigable lake in the world, lying at 12,500 feet (3,810 m) above sea level. On the lake there are floating islands that the Aymara indigenous group still occupy and uphold their traditional culture. There are several larger islands also inhabited by the Aymara in which tourists may spend a night with a local family.
Pepe serves as a mediator between the realm of the indigenous life and the traveler's eager curiosity.
A Glimpse of Farm Life
His tour business allows extranjeros (foreigners), from developed societies a glimpse of a day in the life of rural peasant farmers. He is a native of the Lake Titicaca district and guides tours leaving Puno, Peru, every other day to the floating Uros Islands, Amantani Island, and Taquile Island.
Pepe's oration about the history of this Inca preservation and the life of its inhabitants today lasts two days. His pre-rehearsed speech is given in Spanish, and then in English, even though his clients primarily speak Spanish, German, or French.
The inhabitants of the Amantani Island, where I spent the night with a family, are Aymara, and are cut off from their distant relatives who live on the mainland. The Aymara are classified with Quechua as a separate group within the Andean subfamily of the Andean-Equatorial language family.
It amazes me how wealthy scientists, doctors, and professors choose to spend their few weeks of vacation in accommodations with outhouses, and no electricity.
I met countless retired professionals from around the world who still had the desire to travel backpacker routes, along the bumpiest roads in search of the most remote places on earth.
Our group of 20-odd travelers strapped on our bulky backpacks that had enough volume to hold a small child. The women surround us; those with babies have them wrapped up in a colorful blanket tied to their backs. Pepe assigns each of the visitors an Aymara hostess who will be in charge of us for the next 24 hours.
Dusty Foot Paths
The Incas built their city, Macchu Pichu on the top of the Andes Mountains at an altitude of 8000 feet, so it is no wonder they achieved god-like feats.
The tea is made from the ancient plant native to Peru and Bolivia and used by mine workers and field labor to combat hunger, thirst, and fatigue. For travelers, unaccustomed to the drastic altitude changes, it eases nausea, fever, and headaches.
Nancy's blood is part of a dynasty of warriors whose conquests in South America compare to Alexander the Great in Europe. She is timid and declines to look into the eyes of a foreigner when she speaks.
Tightly Woven Bonds
There is no electricity, cars, roads, police or dogs on the island. It is a paradise in comparison with the modern cities of South America which are congested with traffic, overpopulation and pollution.
Nancy hurries past her friends who are in identical dress and tending to their daily chores; they call to her in Quechua and start to giggle. Of course my friend and I feel uncomfortable; we look like we just stepped out of a time machine. Everything I'm wearing was made in a factory with a sewn-in tag that bears the name of the country of export, and materials used like Gore-Tex, polyester, and rayon.
The Amantani women are all outfitted with no immediate apparent distinction between them. Later we were told that a young woman wears a bright-colored skirt and sash to show that she is single and a dark-colored skirt symbolizes she is married.
We walked about 20 minutes before we arrived at Nancy's home. It is located at the top of a bluff overlooking the great blue Lake Titicaca, whose body spreads like the open ocean.
Her mother is standing at the gate of the house holding a baby lamb, the newest addition to the family. Nancy shows us our rooms and tells us we will be served lunch immediately.
\Her father, like most of the men who inhabit the islands of Lake Titicaca, has adapted to the modern world, working long hours in factories in exchange for soles (Peruvian currency). In the community, there is a belief that to be lazy is a sin.
The extra income will be put towards buying a modern education for their children. When the men return home dressed in blue jeans, t-shirts, and baseball caps, their families must assume that is their uniform.
Once back in their house the men will change into the traditional black pants, white shirt and colorful woven sash.
Pepe, our tour guide, had decided to visit our family for lunch that afternoon. My friend, Pepe and I sat on a wooden bench in the cramped dark smoky kitchen.
Nancy's mother silently knelt on the dusty floor over the open flame. She boiled together her traditional soup of broth, egg, noodles, chicken, and corn. I asked Nancy to ask her mother how many generations her family had lived on the island.
After lunch we walked to the top of a hill to the temple of Mamapacha (the mother earth) to watch the sun set below the lake. Native women sat hunched around their sales display of alpaca woven hats, scarves, and sweaters, while their children ran between the legs of the foreigners showing off their braided string bracelets.
Peaceful Dream World
After we ate our deep-fried bread for breakfast, Nancy knocked on our door and said it was time to go meet our group at the port. She walked us back to where we had met the day before and said goodbye, looking away from our faces. As we boarded the motorboat we watched as Nancy found one of her Aymara friends and began chatting energetically.

Hundreds of people lined up on Onslow Beach Saturday to charge into the cold Atlantic waters to raise money for the Special Olympics.
Dora Gaskin, the event coordinator of the Polar Plunge, said this year's event was the biggest in the event's six-year history.
"This is our largest year by 100 or more plungers," she said. "Maybe the weather had something to do with it."
While the sky was blue and the sun shone down on the participants, it was not exactly "beach weather."
Skip Waters, meteorologist at WCTI Channel 12, announced that the water temperature was 48.2 degrees and the air temperature fluctuated between 45-50 degrees.
Amongst those waiting to plunge were several who had dressed to participate in the costume contest portion of the event.
Col. Beau Higgins, of Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, was dressed in a silver sequined suit and head piece. He dubbed the costume "disco ball man."
Higgins said he was taking the plunge because it was not only an opportunity to raise money for a good cause, the Onslow County Special Olympics, but he also got a chance to have fun with the Marines from his unit.
Amy Moore, another participant, decided it would be best to make a costume that made a statement about the event itself — she dressed as an ice cube.
Dubbed "the Frost Biter," she said she knew it was going to be cold, so an ice cube costume made sense.
Moore said the Onslow County Special Olympics holds a special place in her heart, and that is why she plunged.
"I actually work in a group home, and some of the residents are in the Special Olympics," she said, also mentioning that some of her family members have developmental disabilities as well.
She said to get ready for the cold she drove from Richlands with the windows down.
"I'm just glad the sun's out," she said.
Two women waiting to take the plunge took the contest somewhat literally and wore plungers on their heads. They were speech language pathologists from the Onslow County Schools, who were there with their team, OCS Speech Peeps.
Angie Davis, of the OCS Speech Peeps, said that she and her teammates wanted to have a play on words and thus decided on wearing the plungers.
Davis said that she supports the Special Olympics because she works with students with disabilities every day.
"We wanted to raise money for an activity that would encourage them to be part of sports, interact and be active," she said.
When the clocked reached 11 a.m., the first wave of plungers, dignitaries and Special Olympians, led by Brig. Gen. T.A. Gorry, ran toward the water and dove in. Once they cleared out, it was time for the Marines and then civilians to take the plunge.
After getting out of the water, Higgins said it was cold but it wasn't that bad.
"It wasn't ridiculously cold…well, for the three seconds I was in there," he laughed.
Moore also said the water wasn't that bad.
"I was getting out and I wanted to go back in," she said.
Gaskin said there were 551 plungers this year and the event raised more than $27,000.
"We are confident we will reach our goal of $30,000," she said. Gaskin explained that some monies continue to trickle in a couple of days after the event.
"This is our granddaddy fundraiser," she said.
Gaskin said there are more than 500 people eligible for the Special Olympics in the Onslow County area.
"We are working to spread the word to parents, teachers and providers that there is no cost to participate in Special Olympics," she said.
For more information about the Onslow County Special Olympics, visit sonconslow.org or call Dawn McCullen, the local coordinator, at 910-256-1756.

Ben & Jerry's co-manager scoops and serves San Diegans
If there is anything Ephraim Mallari loves more than eating ice cream, it is serving ice cream. Specifically, serving free scoops of Ben & Jerry's ice cream on behalf of fellow San Diegans who deserve a little sweetness in their lives.
As the co-manager of the Ben & Jerry's stand in Seaport Village, the 42-year-old Mallari spends his professional life up to his elbows in Cherry Garcia and Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch. As an enthusiastic facilitator of the company's community-service mission, he also spends a good chunk of time organizing scoop-athons to benefit such local nonprofits as the Surfrider Foundation and the National Foundation for Autism Research, rallying his employees behind worthy causes and serving on the board of Fair Trade San Diego.
It's hard to know which he enjoys more, the scooping or the serving.
"It is so simple to help and give back," the genial Mallari said, as customers swarmed around the shop. "I love San Diego, and giving back feels like giving a piece of myself to my town."
Born in the Philippines and raised in Paradise Hills, Mallari traces his sweet tooth back to his early childhood in Quezon City, where the road to his grandparents' house swung by a bush shaped like an ice cream cone. Mallari isn't sure why that small thing made such a big impressions, but he does know that when he got a part-time job as a scooper at what was then the Village Ice Cream Shop, it seemed like a big deal. Eighteen years later, it still does.
"When I was little, I used to say that my ultimate goal was to serve ice cream in a shop, and all these years later, here I am," Mallari said, looking happily around the tourist-filled courtyard.
After graduating from Morse High School in 1989, Mallari went to San Diego State, where he majored in kinesiology. He volunteered at the Continental Rehabilitation Center in Hillcrest, and spent three years as a substitute teacher in the Sweetwater Union High School District. And when his mother contracted progressive supranuclear palsy, he spent nine years being her physical therapist. She passed away last year.
Throughout it all, Mallari continued to work at Ben & Jerry's. And when he became a co-manager in 2006, serving took on a whole new meaning. It meant choosing the local nonprofits that would benefit from the company's annual "Free Cone Day." It meant nudging his employees into forming a team for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life San Diego race and putting the fundraising muscle of the store behind the National Foundation for Autism Research.
It even meant throwing his own sweat into the cause by participating in the group's annual San Diego Race for Autism.
"What is kind of amazing is, Ephraim isn't directly impacted by autism. He just sees what a diagnosis can mean to a family and he decided he wanted to help," said Sharon Leon, executive director of the San Diego-based National Foundation for Autism Research. "And he hasn't done it just once, where he raises funds and rallies friends to start a team. He has done it for years."

Orange County's Fairhaven Elementary, McAuliffe Middle and Sunny Hills High schools have won National Blue Ribbon awards for excellence, America's highest recognition of school success.
The schools are among 22 public and two private schools in California and 307 schools nationally to receive the 2012 honor, which recognizes K-12 schools that are academically superior in their states or demonstrate dramatic gains in student achievement.
Blue Ribbon awards for California's public schools were announced by the state Dept. of Education on Monday. The same awards for California's two private school honorees, including Orange County's Stoneybrooke Christian School, along with Blue Ribbons for other states were announced in early September. An investigation of state test cheating allegations delayed California's Academic Performance Index report until early October, which in turn delayed the Blue Ribbon announcement.
Schools learned of the award on Thursday, after the federal Dept. of Education unexpectedly posted results. State officials asked schools to keep the news under wraps until their announcement today, but the Orange County schools had already shared it.
"It's pretty exciting," said Fairhaven Principal Kelli Keller, who praised her staff and students for the achievement.
The local campuses all held celebrations on Friday, but on Monday, spirits were still soaring.
"We're just very, very pleased to receive this recognition," McAuliffe Principal Dennis Sackett said. "People have been really, really supportive."
Sackett said parents, community members and school officials have been sending congratulatory notes since the federal report was posted.
At each school, principals credited their achievement in part to close monitoring of student performance and quick intervention.
One such program is Sunny Hills' learning labs, where students can go for help as they tackle the new responsibilities of high school. A teacher monitors their homework and helps create planners to track assignments.
Another program monitors English learners, providing different types of mentoring based on their academic needs; the school also has the AVID program, which promotes college readiness and focuses on bridging the achievement gap.
As a result, not only do Sunny Hills' high-performing students succeed, but so do those in student subgroups that don't traditionally do as well, Sunny Hills Principal Judy A. Fancher said.
"We just work closely with our students," Fancher said.
Fairhaven, run by Orange Unified and located in Santa Ana, won in a category for improving schools, just one of three honorees in California. The school brought its API score up by 26 points in 2012.

Publication Details
Book Title:
The Redbreast
Harry Hole
Year of Publication:
Harvill Secker

Book Synopsis
Daniel, a soldier legendary among the Norwegians fighting at the Eastern front, is killed. Eighteen months later in a Vienna hospital, a wounded soldier becomes involved with a young nurse. The consequences will ripple forward to the end of the century.
Having caused an embarrassment in the line of duty, Harry Hole is lumbered with monitoring neo-Nazi activity; a fairly mundane assignment, until reports of a rare weapon being fired attract his interest. Meanwhile, an ex-soldier has been found with his throat cut. Pursuing both his assignment and his hunches, Harry embarks on an investigation in which he has much to gain and everything to lose.
Book Review
Okay - a little housekeeping first. I can't get accented characters to work properly here ... yet. I'm working on it because it annoys me as much as it undoubtedly annoys readers of these posts.
Secondly, a little background to the Harry Hole (pronounced - we think - Hurler, but corrections from those who really know would be extremely welcome)! THE DEVIL'S STAR (released in English first) is actually number 5 in the series, THE REDBREAST (released in English second) is number 3 in the series and NEMESIS (to be released about now, so third) is actually number 4 in the series. Confused. So were the rest of us :)
On the upside the first two available books are readable out of order, although THE REDBREAST does explain Harry's situation and demeanor in THE DEVIL'S STAR.
But THE REDBREAST - well it's a wonderful book. As you often find in these wonderful, multi-layered and textural (that's textured as opposed to text) books from fabulous Scandinavian authors, we're treated to some entertainment, with an exploration of a societal problem / an itch that needs to be scratched. THE REDBREAST explores the ongoing fallout from the Second World War. That war has ramifications in the local society right up until the current day, and it's worthwhile reading THE REDBREAST just to see how the war affected other cultures, maybe countries that were much closer to the action than we were - for example - in Australia.
Nesbo is also the sort of author who is not afraid to cause the reader trauma - characters that you get close to can die, their death can involve other characters who continue on. Nothing is straight forward and nothing is constantly easy.
If this makes THE REDBREAST perhaps sound a bit too much, then it shouldn't. It's the sort of book that moves backwards and forwards between the then (1940's at War) and now (1999) as Harry investigates the existence of a very unexpected weapon, without necessarily knowing who has it or why. There are sub-plots built into the narrative as well, neo-Nazi's; drugs; all sorts of underground activities that clearly show that life these days isn't straightforward. All of those threads stack up in comparison against life in the war years - the complications of whose side to fight on, the reaction to collaborators when the war was over, the difficulties of surviving through a war, and in a time when attitudes were considerably different than they are today.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
The Alpinestars Quasar Textile Jacket is a lightweight and ventilated motorcycle jacket. It allows the rider to be cool and stay protected on warm days. This motorcycle jacket allows the rider to make adjustments to get a proper fit and is also cut with rider comfort in mind.
How To Measure for Alpinestars Mens Jackets
The Quasar Textile Jacket is constructed of six hundred denier polyester.
It's available in 3 color ways including this all black and in sizes S-4XL. The
fit is just a little bit on the European side, but the size chart is accurate so
make sure you use is to establish your fitment. The arms have a slight bend to
them giving them a slight sport fit, but it's nowhere near as aggressive as say
a T-Jaws air jacket, so this jacket will work well on all types of bikes. The
Quasar is more than just a mesh jacket. See, making a material that allows air
to pass through it is easy. What
Alpinestars has
done is strategically place these mesh panels to manipulate the flow of air
through the garment to maximize the cooling effect. They also have used a water
repellent material for the shell so that not if but when the material gets
rained on, the water isn't absorbed and the garment stays lightweight and dries
On the protective side, the high wear areas are constructed using a high tensile
strength, abrasion resistant material, and the shoulders and elbows feature CE
approved armor. There is also removable protective padding in the chest and in
the back, and there are subtle yet effective
high-viz accents throughout the jacket, including these panels and this
A-Stars logo. There is also a full circumference zipper to connect your riding
Adjustability is very important on a mesh jacket to control buffeting. The
Quasar has hook and loop adjusters at the waist to perfect the fit and manage
airflow, and there are take-ups on sleeves. The cuffs are also adjustable, and
there are accordion-style stretch panels in the elbows to promote flexibility.
Additional features include this huge mesh panel and the Alpinestars monogram
across the shoulders on the back. The collar is soft and comfortable, and the
main zipper closure is YKK.
Storage comes in the form of two zippered hand warmer pockets on the front.
Inside the Quasar, you'll find a vertical zipper pocket and 3 hook and loop

Pepperdine Takes Series Finale 10-4 Over Gonzaga
MALIBU, Calif. – The 24th-ranked Gonzaga University baseball team saw its 11-game winning streak snapped Sunday as the Bulldogs were bested 10-4 by Pepperdine University at Eddy D. Field Stadium. The Zags did however win the series against the Waves by taking games one and two.
The defeat is the Bulldogs first in the month of April as the club moves to 26-11-1 overall and 13-5 in West Coast Conference games. Pepperdine improves to 21-17 and 9-6 WCC.
Gonzaga had an early lead in the game by scoring in each of the first three innings. Cory LeBrun brought home Mitchell Gunsolus, who opened the game with a leadoff double, on a ground out to second in the first. Travis Forbes laid down a sacrifice bunt scoring Alex Bonczyk in the second inning giving GU its largest lead at 2-0.
Despite the early success, GU was unable to match the Pepperdine offensive output. The Waves piled on eight runs by the fifth inning highlighted by a Chris Amezquita three run homerun in the fourth. Pepperdine out-hit Gonzaga 13-6.
The Bulldogs struggled all day to close out an inning. All 10 of the Pepperdine runs were scored with two outs in the inning.
Gonzaga used five pitchers in the game with starter Zach Abbruzza (0-2) picking up the loss. Abbruzza lasted 2.2 innings followed by Arturo Reyes (1.1 innings), Taylor Jones (2.2), Billy Moon (0.1) and Derek Peterson (1.0).
Waves starter Aaron Brown picked up the victory in a complete game effort.
Gonzaga now returns to Spokane for a busy week. Starting Tuesday with the University of Washington, the Zags will have five games in five days at Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field. After a two-game series with the Huskies, GU will host BYU to resume WCC action starting Thursday.

Picked up a Glow disc today with the 2009 all-star Weekend stamp. Looks and feels like a leopard but I just thought I'd check. Figured somebody here played that year and could remember what was handed out.
Edit: did some comparisons and don't think it's a leopard anymore. Maybe a TL but not a leopard.

Study Abroad Library Services
Studying Abroad this Semester?
Even when studying in Europe, Australia or other parts of the world, Gonzaga students still have access to many of Foley Library's resources and services, including getting help from a librarian when you need some help.
What services are available?
- Access to our article indexes and databases including: Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, ProQuest and a variety of specialty databases such as: ATLA Religion Index, Classical Music Reference Library and Oxford Art Online.
- Access to Periodicals @ Foley, your gateway to the online journals available through Foley Library.
- The ILLiad (interlibrary loan/document delivery) service will help you get articles that aren't online.
Research assistance is available via e-mail or online chat. Contact Us when you need help.
- Do I need my Gonzaga ID card to use the library online?
- Your Gonzaga ID number is your library ID number, too. You will need to supply your ID number to access your Foley Library account and to register for an ILLiad (Interlibrary Loan) account, if you don't already have one.
- To use the online databases you will be asked to log in using the same user name and password you use for ZagMail or Blackboard. If you have trouble logging in, contact the IT Support Center - firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I get books?
Sorry, no, even though many library staff members have eagerly volunteered to make personal deliveries to our Study Abroad locations. The fact is, the cost and time involved to ship books to you, not to mention what it would cost you to return them, prevents us from offering our usual book loan service while you are abroad.
How do I get articles?
- Foley subscribes to a number of databases with full-text access to articles. If the article you need isn't available through one database, the Full-Text Options link will check for access in a different database, using Periodicals @ Foley, which is the list of all the journals available to you through Foley Library.
- If the article you need isn't available online, use ILLiad to request the article.
What is ILLiad?
- ILLiad is our Interlibrary Loan system. Use ILLiad to request articles from the Foley Library print collection as well as any article that is not available at Foley.
- In order to use ILLiad, you must first register for an account. For more information see our ILLiad FAQ
- While participating in the London program, please use "STUDY ABROAD" as your status in ILLiad.
- Use the name of your Study Abroad Program as your street address.
- Put an 'x' in other fields that don't apply to your current situation.
- Remember to update your address information in ILLiad when you come back!
- What kind of information should I provide for an article request?
- Usually, you will be requesting articles found in one of our databases and if you use the Full Text Options link then the "order this through interlibrary loan link, the request form will be filled in automatically.
- If you are filling out an article request form manually, provide as much information as possible to expedite service.
- Include: Article title, author's name, journal name, volume number, date, and page numbers.
How long will it take to receive an article once I put in the request?
- We can usually scan and post articles from our print collection within 2 business days.
- We process requests on a first-come, first-served basis. At busy times of the year, we will process up to five requests from one individual per day.
- Articles not owned by Gonzaga will be requested from another library through the ILL (interlibrary loan) service. Availability and processing time varies, but typically you will receive articles within 2-5 days of the request date.
How will I receive an article I've requested through ILLIad?
- A PDF of the article will be posted to your ILLiad account and you will be notified by e-mail when it is available. It's a good idea to save a copy of the article right away as it will be removed from the ILLiad server after 30 days.
Who can I contact for assistance?
- Theresa Kappus, Distance Services Librarian
- Anji Mertens, Interlibrary Loan
- Kelly Jenks, Instruction Librarian

Out come the big guns for the Hugest! Pension! Battle! Ever!
On Tuesday, a coalition of California mayors – including Santa Ana's Miguel Pulido (right) and Anaheim's Tom Tait (below) – filed a proposed constitutional amendment with the state attorney general which would do the unthinkable: allow California governments to lower pension formulas going forward for public workers.
It would not – we repeat, would not – take away benefits public workers have already earned. And it would let each little city and county work out the devilish details for itself – no dictates from on high.
It's the sort of forward-fix that Democratic Mayor Chuck Reed (of the almost-bankrupt city of San Jose) and the non-partisan Little Hoover Commission have argued is essential if core public services for Joe Citizen, and pensions themselves for public workers, are to survive.
"Many of California's public employee retirement plans are simply unsustainable and it's in everyone's interest to provide the tools to fix the problem now…" Reed said in a prepared statement. "(W)e believe employees would much rather adjust their future expectations than risk seeing their accrued benefits slashed in bankruptcy. We've already seen that tragic situation play out in cities like Stockton and Central Falls, RI. Our teachers, police officers, firefighters and other dedicated public servants deserve to know that the pensions they've earned will be there when they need it – not just the day they retire, but also when they're 85 or 90."
But defenders of the current system are having none of that.
"This extreme proposal, advanced by a career politician and funded by a former Texas-based Enron trader, breaks the promise of a secure retirement made to millions of Californians, many of whom are ineligible for Social Security and have an average pension of $26,000 per year," said Dave Low, chairman of Californians for Retirement Security, which represents more than 1.5 million current and retired public workers. "It will allow public employers to unilaterally cut the retirement benefits promised to current teachers, firefighters, police officers and school bus drivers — a promise upheld by the Supreme Court..."
The initiative's backers now need to raise about $2 million to gather enough signatures to get the constitutional amendment onto the ballot next year.
Joe Citizen, prepare for acute verbal whiplash.
In brief: Officials assumed that the booming market of the early 2000s would never end. They gave big hikes in pension benefits to public workers – especially to public safety workers – swallowing promises that it wouldn't cost an extra dime. They quit contributing to pension funds entirely for a while, assuming things would always be rosy.
Then the recession hit, and they rudely awoke from their stupor.
Back in 2005, 1,841 retirees pulled down more than $100,000 a year in pension checks from the giant California Public Employees Retirement System. By the end of 2012, membership in the $100K club had skyrocketed 700 percent, to 14,763, according to data from CalPERS.
And here we are in 2013 with agencies scrambling after reforms for new hires. But the immediate picture is grim: CalPERS – which serves the overwhelming majority of local governments – is officially $80 billion underfunded. A plan just approved to fully fund the system within 30 years will require even more money up front from all the cities, counties and special districts using its services.
Some agencies are now spending one of every five general fund dollars on pension costs, the mayors said.
