The department employed 4,400 employees in 2013.[1] The operating budget for fiscal year 2013 was $65.7 billion.[2] The United States education industry was estimated at about $1.15 trillion in 2011-2012. Federal contributions to elementary and secondary education come to about 10.8%, including the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services' Head Start and the Department of Agriculture's School Lunch program. The rest of the funding comes from state, local and private sources.[3]
Education in the U.S. is primarily the responsibility of states and local districts. This is according to the Tenth Amendment of the Bill of Rights, United States Constitution because the United States Constitution does not mention any role for the federal government in education. The federal department is intended to assist the states and was originally was created in 1867 to help the states set up school systems by gathering information about teaching, schools and teachers. The current Department of Education was established by Congress in 1980. It united several existing offices across different agencies into a Cabinet level agency located in the executive branch. Over the years the location of the department in the government and its name has changed several times, and its scope, number of personnel and budget have greatly increased. The department's mission of fostering educational excellence and equal access arose out of the cultural and political events in the post World War II era. The National Defense Education Act (NDEA), the first comprehensive federal education law, was passed by Congress in 1958 in response to the Soviet launch of Sputnik during the Cold War. The department added its "public access" mission in response to anti-poverty and civil rights legislation of the 1960s and 1970s.
The number of employees and budget have grown from 2,100 employees and a budget of $1.5 billion in 1965 to 4,400 employees and $68 billion budget in 2013. Although the federal government provides only about 12 percent of the overall education spending of $1.15 trillion, the role of the federal government in setting education policy has grown considerably over the last several decades. The department implements laws passed by Congress and administers grants to states for certain programs, such as the No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top and Title One School Improvement Grants.[1][4][5] The following is a list of important dates in the history of federal role in education in the United States:[3][6]
- 1862: First Morrill Act provided the first federal aid for higher education by donating land for setting up colleges [7]
- 1890: Second Morrill Act gave the Office authority to establish a support system for land-grant colleges and universities
- 1896: U.S. Supreme Court case, Plessy v. Ferguson, legalized segregation in "separate but equal" schools
- 1917: Smith-Hughes Act extended federal aid to vocational education programs
- 1944: GI Bill authorized assistance to veterans for postsecondary schools
- 1946: Georgia-Barden Act established agricultural, industrial and home economics classes
- 1954: U.S. Supreme Court case, ''Brown v. Board of Education'', outlaws segregation precedent set in Plessy v. Ferguson
- 1958: National Defense Education Act (NDEA) supported loans for college students, improved science, technology and foreign language support in elementary and secondary schools and provided fellowships in response to the Cold War
- 1964: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibited discrimination based on race, color or national origin in public schools
- 1965: Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act gave federal aid to schools in poor rural and urban areas
- 1965: Higher Education Act authorized federal aid for poor postsecondary students
- 1970: Standardized tests were given to public schools and the results are reported to the government and public in an effort to hold educators accountable
- 1972: Title IX of the Education Amendments prohibited discrimination based on sex in public schools
- 1973: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act prohibited discrimination based on disability in public schools
- 1980: Congress passed the "Department of Education Organization Act," (Public Law 96-88 of October 1979)
- 2001: No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) increased education funding and established standards-based testing reforms

Organizational chart
Race to the Top
- See also: Race to the Top
Race to the Top was the seminal policy of Secretary Arne Duncan's Department of Education term. It was a reform designed to induce competition among states and school districts for federally allocated grants. Duncan argued that the incentive to attain Federal grant money and the resulting competition would spur innovation and improve student achievement. The program was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and had an initial budget of $4.35 billion. To become eligible, states needed to satisfy a "Common Core" of achievement standards. States proposed sweeping reform objectives and then submit grant proposals for programs they believe would achieve the objectives outlined. Proposals were measured against a scoring criteria, and grants were awarded. The Department of Education then measured states' progress towards their target objectives as the grant renewal process proceeded. Several states were unable to meet proposed targets in Race to the Top funded programs. As a result, grant allocation slowed significantly after three initial rounds. In 2012, the Department of Education began a new grant allocation round -- Race to the Top-District -- in which school districts, rather than state school systems, may apply for Race to the Top program grants.[10]
Common Core
- See also: Common Core State Standards Initiative
The Race to the Top Common Core Standards were developed by the National Association of Governors and the Council of Chief State School Officers. They were "informed by the highest, most effective models from states across the country and countries around the world and provide teachers and parents with a common understanding of what students are expected to learn" in order to "provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce." Forty-five states and the District of Columbia, along with four territories, adopted Common Core Standards. Developed specifically for English Language Arts and Mathematics instruction, "the Standards are (1) research and evidence based, (2) aligned with college and work expectations, (3) rigorous, and (4) internationally benchmarked."[11]
Grant criteria
Grants are rewarded based on these scores and subsequent rankings:[12]
- A. State Success Factors (125 points)
- (A)(1) Articulating State's education reform agenda and LEAs' participation in it (65 points)
- (A)(2) Building strong statewide capacity to implement, scale up, and sustain proposed plans (30 points)
- (A)(3) Demonstrating significant progress in raising achievement and closing gaps (30 points)
- B. Standards and Assessments (70 points)
- (B)(1) Developing and adopting common standards (40 points)
- (B)(2) Developing and implementing common, high-quality assessments (10 points)
- (B)(3) Supporting the transition to enhanced standards and high-quality assessments (20 points)

- (C)(2) Accessing and using State data (5 points)
- (C)(3) Using data to improve instruction (18 points)
- D. Great Teachers and Leaders (138 points)
- (D)(1) Providing high-quality pathways for aspiring teachers and principals (21 points)
- (D)(2) Improving teacher and principal effectiveness based on performance (58 points)
- (D)(3) Ensuring equitable distribution of effective teachers and principals (25 points)

- (F)(1) Making education funding a priority (10 points)
- (F)(2) Ensuring successful conditions for high-performing charters and other innovative schools (40 points)
- (F)(3) Demonstrating other significant reform conditions (5 points)
The goals of the Race to the Top reforms were:[12]
- to use data to inform instruction
- to raise achievement standards and graduation rates
- to turn around historically low-performing schools
- to improve teacher and principal quality.
Opposing viewpoints
- Critics argued that the Race to the Top funding model would take resources from already struggling school systems and create vast disparities in achievement. Supporters maintained that only a "small but significant" portion of Race to the Top funds would go to states with the "best, homegrown plans for education reform," and that absent these incentives, the status-quo Federal funding model would continue to fail students by ignoring innovation.[13]
- Other opponents questioned whether these reforms could adequately induce innovation. They saw Race to the Top as evidence of "cartel federalism" in line with the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind policy. They did not believe reform would be achieved by further centralization of standards because "the ends of the educational system are still set by the same small group of officials, who are protected from competition."[14]
Supporting viewpoints
- American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten supported Race to the Top, but in May of 2013, she called for a moratorium on full implementation:
|Done right, Common Core standards will 'lead to a revolution in teaching and learning' that puts critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork ahead of rote memorization and endless test-taking, Weingarten said. Done wrong, 'they will end up in the overflowing dustbin of abandoned reforms, with people throwing up their hands, believing that public schools are too broken to save.[8]
—American Federation of Teachers, [15]
- Supporters also pointed out that Race to the Top incentivized states to design and pursue serious reforms before any money was handed out. The competition for potential grants induced reforms to improve instruction in both quality and kind across the board, not just among states who ultimately receive grants.[16]
Race to the Top grants recipients were announced in three initial rounds.[17][18] [19]
- Round 1 (March 29, 2010): Delaware, Tennessee
- Round 2 (August 24, 2010): Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, District of Columbia
- Round 3 (December 23, 2011): Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Race to the Top grant allocations slowed significantly after the first three rounds as many states faced delayed implementation of promised reforms.[20]
In 2012, the Department of Education announced a new round of grant allocation -- Race to the Top-District -- in which individual school districts and charter school programs would be eligible for grants. Sixteen grant winners were selected in 2012. A second round of Race to the Top-District grants will be allocated, and in October 2013, 16 finalists for were announced.[21][22]
Despite 45 states and four territories formally adopting Race to the Top's Common Core, public backlash against the new standards became a frequent occurance. On September 19, 2013, a group of parents in California protested the state's adoption of Common Core when Secretary of Education Arne Duncan visited their city.[23] Duncan later drew criticism in November 2013 when he described the opposition to Common Core as "white suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were, and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were," to a group of state school superintendents.[24] On November 18, 2013, parents in South Carolina and New York chose to keep their children home from school as part of a "National Common Core Protest Day" to demonstrate opposition to Common Core's "one-size-fits all curriculum" and standardized testing methods.[25][26] On December 8, 2013, the Buffalo Teachers Federation protested outside the residence of a state education regent in response to Common Core implementation and its emphasis on continually testing students.[27]
In response to the public outcry, several states delayed implementation or rescinded adoption of the standards entirely. The Alabama state school board voted to revoke their agreement to adhere to the Common Core standards on November 14, 2013. However, their existing state standards were still in line with Common Core.[28] Alabama is the only state to pull away entirely from its commitment to the Common Core standards. However, others such as Pennsylvania and Indiana have chosen to halt implementation.[29][30] Louisiana chose to delay Common Core's accountability measures for two years, while Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Georgia and Michigan chose to delay or abandon Common Core testing.[31][32][33][34][35]
Additionally, both Utah and Florida withdrew from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers and Smarter Balanced Assessment consortium, although both states plan to continue Common Core implementation.[36][37] In Ohio, Representative Andrew Thompson introduced House Bill 237 to the Ohio House of Representatives in order to prevent the state from implementing Common Core.[38]

Union calls for Duncan resignation
A July 4, 2014 vote by members of the National Education Association called for Secretary Arne Duncan's resignation. A majority of the 9,000 delegates attending the convention in Denver, Colorado made the vote because "the Department's failed education agenda focused on more high-stakes testing, grading and pitting public school students against each other based on test scores." The vote originated from the California Teachers Association after Duncan commented on the court case Vergara v. California, which dealt a blow to tenure rules in the state. Motions calling for Duncan's resignation have been raised at each of the NEA's annual meetings since 2010, but none had received the majority vote for passage.[39] Then-NEA President Dennis Van Roekel defended the vote, claiming the union would continue to push the administration to put forward policies "that are influenced by those who know best— educators working in our classrooms and in our schools — rather than profiteers." When asked to for Duncan's comments on the vote, a department spokesperson stated, "Secretary Duncan looks forward to continuing to work with NEA and its new leadership."[40]
Another union, the American Federation of Teachers, passed a resolution on July 13, 2014, calling for Secretary Duncan's resignation if he didn't show improvement under a plan proposed by President Barack Obama. The resolution urged the department to move away from No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top's "test-and-punish" tactics to move toward a system of supporting teachers and students. AFT President Randi Weingarten claimed the vote represented the union saying, "'Enough is enough.' Teachers are evaluated and their future livelihoods are linked to that. And when they fall short, they should have a chance to improve. And that's what this special order represents." A department spokesperson said of the vote, "the transformation that educators and policymakers are leading to prepare all students for college and careers is incredibly difficult, and too often the adults fight about how to best help the kids."[41]
College loan rates
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Department of Education will make $127 billion in profit from higher education student loans. Higher rates were expected to begin with the 2015-2016 academic year.[42] Secretary of Education Arne Duncan argued, "It's actually neither accurate nor fair to characterize the student loan program as making a profit," in July 2013, claiming the funds are used to lower the department's cost to taxpayers.[43][42]
Racial inequality patterns
The department's Office for Civil Rights conducted research on all 97,000 public schools in the United States and discovered several racial disparities ranging from preschool through high school.[44] According to the study the following findings were made:

In President Barack Obama's 2015 budget request, a new $300 million competition was added to the Race to the Top program rewarding schools using data-driven and creative solutions to improve their failing status.[44]

The Best Places to work in the Federal Government is a website that tracks workforce trends in federal agencies. According to their analysis, from 2005-2011, the Department of Education has gained an average of 26 jobs per year.[47]
While Secretary Duncan suggested the cuts would result in furloughs, a May 10, 2013 memo stated no furloughs were necessary.[48]

Field Spaniel
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group: The Field Spaniel belongs to the Gun Dog and AKC Sporting Group.
Weight: The Field Spaniel weighs from 35-50 lbs (16-22 kg).
Height: The Field Spaniel stands approximately 18 inches for the male, and 17 inches for the female (43-48 cm) at the withers.
The Field Spaniel sports a solid black or liver coat. Some dogs have bicolored coats with tan markings or roan (speckled).
Coat: The Field Spaniel has a moderately long, silky coat and fringed ears. This single coat is flat and slightly wavy. Its coat offers some protection from thorns and water, a good defence especially useful for dogs that hunt, retrieve and live in the countryside. Comb or brush the coat 1-2 times weekly. Trim the hair inside the ears and between the foot pads.
Character:The friendly Field Spaniel has a playful, active nature. With its tracking, hunting and retrieving abilities, this breed likes to carry items in its mouth. This hardy dog enjoys the fresh country air.
Country of Origin: The Field Spaniel originated in England during the 1800's where it was used for bird flushing.
History:The Field Spaniel descends from the Cocker, Sussex and English Water Spaniels. Because of unwise breeding, this dog's physique developed into a very long body with heavy bones on short legs. During its history, the Field Spaniel suffered low populations, yet revived.
The Field Spaniel has "Field" as a nickname.
Temperament:The Field Spaniel is social and devoted. With its affectionate nature, this docile breed loves praise. As a talented hunter, the Field Spaniel can work independently.
Training:Firm yet gentle training benefits the Field Spaniel when young. Be aware that this pet can easily forget what it recently learned. Teaching the young Field Spaniel to be around both humans and other animals will help make it a good pet. With a physique suited for activity and stamina, the Field Spaniel is known for hunting on land and water. The Field Spaniel is also adaptable and can be a watchdog, but not a guard dog.
Activity:The Field Spaniel requires daily exercise, such as long walks on a leash. Let this working field dog run in open spaces and explore the countryside. Activities shared between house and the yard work well.
The Field Spaniel is well suited for living in a house in the country. While this breed enjoys human companionship and other pets, it can be cautious around strangers. To be on the safe side, the Field Spaniel should not live with small children. Do not allow children to tease. This healthy dog can make a good watchdog, but not a guard dog. With its active nature, the Field Spaniel is not suited to apartment life. The Field Spaniel should not be left alone for hours or it may bark and tear up furniture and wallpaper. When the Field Spaniel drinks water, it may slosh on the floor. Some Field Spaniels snore.
No Breeders listed at this time.

The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
You haven't lived until you've had this raw cream cheese icing recipe with a big, nice slice of raw carrot cake!
Note that it's the coconut oil that will help this raw cream cheese recipe firm up, so... don't omit it, ok?
The icing will get softer and more gooey (gooeyer?) once it warms up so it's best to ice and then eat right away. Or store your entire cake in the fridge and then cut slices right away.
Enjoy this raw cream cheese icing recipe!

I just made the raw carrot cake with this icing, may I say.. DEVINE! Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
Licking the vitamix is a sure sign of success. It happens a lot in my house too! PS: Love your profile pic. Adorable!

I thought this was really good but missing that tang that I'm used to with cream cheese frosting. I added two large squeezes of lemon juice...bingo excellent. I put it on your carrot cake recipe which I followed to the letter which was also excellent. This is so good I can't believe its healthy. I also added more honey to the frosting...I have a serious sweet tooth.
Kathy, good tip with the lemon juice! Thx!

How big a cake or cupcakes do thou think this will frost? A 9" cake or 12 cuppies? Thanks!
Hi Agnetta, you might want to double it if you want to frost top and sides for 9".

Does this frosting pipe well and keep it's shape?
Hi Cupcake! This icing isn't the best for piping. Try my chocolate icing instead :) https://www.therawtarian.com/raw-chocolate-icing

I just made your carrot cake. It is delicious. What I really like about these recipes is not so much that they are raw. Sugar is raw LOL. But the ingredients are healthy too, and yet they taste so bad for you :D
Glad you enjoyed the carrot cake, Matt! Did you make the icing too?

I am a big fan of raw cashew frosting for cakes, however I am having a friend over that is allergic to cashews, walnuts, peanuts (most nuts), but he can eat pine nuts. I really don't want to spend the money on a bunch of pine nuts if it won't work out...do you think it might still be good? Do you have any other ideas?
Thank you!
Hi Jessica,
Yes, I would agree that the pine nut idea would work, but it would be like $20 lol
I suggest doing a banana, coconut oil, lemon juice and sweetener icing instead
Jan 15, 2014
Should the cashews be soaked for this recipe?
Hi Roee, I don't soak, but you can if you prefer

Raw cream cheese icing recipe
I made dehydrated carrot cake style crackers then added your cream cheese icing and redehydrated the crackers. They turned out great! My husband liked them so much that he ate an entire tray full. So I guess I'll have to hide them and ration them out to him LOL! Thanks for the great recipe and I can't wait to try the chocolate cream cheese.

Comments about Paula Young Temptation Hand-Tied Wig by Jaclyn Smith:
I have been wearing wigs for 11 years now and this by far is one of my favorite! It's such an amazing wig for the price. I love the hand-tied feel and the lace front. It's so realistic...The only thing is the color is a little off from the swatch shown above and there is some shedding. I will definitely be ordering more and hope that this style and price stay around.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not half bad..not half good, either
By Temptation Tigress
from Atlanta, GA
About Me Brand Buyer
Ready to wear right out of the box, well shaped cut and exclusive color is stunning and realistic. The cap is comfortable and the lace front fits well, but I was disappointed by the fact that it could not be brushed and styled in any direction because the hair on the top left looked as if it had alopecia. The hair that was hand tied was so thin that I would have to keep the top right brushed over the top left or people would think I was losing my hair. Large areas of scalp showed through the mesh cap. Not at all the volume pictured on the lovely Ms. Smith and I have a very petite head. Perhaps, it will fluff up and have the look of luxurious volume after it is washed and dried upside down. But, it is the balding areas that concern me. For the cost, it should be as described; to be able to be brushed in any direction. I own seven Jaclyn Smith wigs and have been satisfied completely. Two other ones had to be sent back because of color or style not as pictured and having worked in the beauty industry for 40+ years I realize that some styles you must gently coax and work on until the desired look that is appropriate for you. No one wig is suitable for all. Never have one cut except by someone with the utmost experience in styling wigs.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My Mother wore this perfume many years ago...At times she would let me use it... I have been looking for this for a long time.... Love it.....
Written by Joanne on August 06, 2013Read Review details ►
My grandmother gave me my first bottle of the original My Sin when I was in high school and it's been my signature scent for almost fifty years. When Lanvin quit making this fragrance I was devastated and wore no perfume because I couldn't find anything that didn't smell like "fly spray." So many of today's fragrances are so strong that you can smell a person coming and going --- not pleasant. I found this copy and have begun to wear scent again. It's not the same as the original, but it's close and I'm glad to have it.

HAVELOCK— In the opening minute of his team's Coastal 3A Conference opener against White Oak, Havelockcoach Bill Fryczynski saw his Rams fall behind 6-0 and quickly took a time-out.
"Let's get our heads out of our behinds and start playing basketball," Fryczynski said was his message to the team.
The Rams took the message to heart.
Michael Bowman scored 26 points and Zach Bruns added 21 as the Rams rolled past White Oak 95-68.
The Rams took their first lead at 9-8 on a Bruns 3-pointer with 3:48left in the first quarter and they would never look back.
Havelockled 24-15 after the first quarter and started the second quarter with a quick 8-0 burst. By halftime, the Rams led 44-30.
"We do have to tighten up our halfcourt defense a lot," Fryczynski said. "We do gamble a lot, and you're going to give up some points because of that, but I think we just overwhelmed them a bit. That's what we're looking to do is just wear people out."
The Rams are somewhat rejuvenated now that those who played on Havelock's state championship football team have returned to the lineup. Fryczynski believes some of that state championship attitude will help in basketball.
"There's a lot of enthusiasm on this team," he said. "I think a lot of it is from football, and hopefully it's carrying over to us. Half our team is football players, so it should."
After White Oak (2-4, 0-1) scored eight straight points midway through the third period, Bowman made a steal and put home a dunk to spark another Havelock run that produced a 71-53 advantage going into the fourth quarter.
Havelock38, White Oak 31
HAVELOCK — Havelock girls basketball coach Anna Spear could say little about her team's 38-31 victory Tuesday in the Coastal 3A Conference opener at Havelock High.
"A win's a win," she said. "It's a conference win, and we found a way to get it done, as ugly as it may be."
The Rams (3-1, 1-0) trailed 17-14 with 5:01 left in the second quarter, but scored the last seven points of the half, including Apriel Barrette's 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Havelock was aggressive defensively to start the third quarter and scored the first eight points to lead 29-17 midway through the period.
"I took a time-out and the thing I talked about was effort, resilience and determination," Spear said. "We were just bewildering around.
"We knew exactly what to expect from them with that 1-2-2 half-court trap, but we just never got in sync as an offensive unit."
Jalisa Wilson's steal and layup put the Rams ahead 37-22 with 6:07 left in the game, but it was also Havelock's last made basket of the contest.
White Oak (4-2, 0-1) drew within 37-31 with 2:32 left on a three-point play from Lyric Levester, but the Vikings missed six consecutive shots down the stretch and had two turnovers. Kierra Fleming hit a free throw with 11 seconds left to seal the victory for the Rams, who were just 3 of 14 from the free-throw line.
"That's not going to get it done," Spear said of the team's free-throw percentage.

Wonderments of Cosmos: A Trans-disciplinary Conversation on Cosmological Horizons
A UCL Grand Challenge of Intercultural Interaction workshop, convened by Martin Holbraad, Reader in Social Anthropology, Department of Anthropology.
Questions about the origins and contours of the universe and human beings' position within it are capturing the public's imagination as never before. Sponsored by the UCL Grand Challenge of Intercultural Interaction, this half-day workshop brings together scholars from across UCL to present the different ways in which their work engages with the wonderments of cosmos, and explore how these may speak to each other. How far might different approaches to cosmology provide the scope for a genuine cross-disciplinary conversation? How does the scientific study of the cosmos relate to the ways in which its wonders have been engaged in other fields, across history and in different cultural settings? How far might a shared interest in cosmology and questions of ultimate horizons cast in a new light age-old debates about the relationship between science, religion and art? And how far might it serve to re-cast or even re-negotiate the boundaries between the proverbial 'two cultures' of the sciences and the humanities?
The workshop will comprise a number of short presentations by UCL staff working in the natural sciences, social sciences and arts & humanities, followed by a roundtable discussion of the scope and challenges of cross-disciplinary collaboration in this field.
Royal Institution Public Lectures on "Nature and Nature's Laws: how did they come about?"
Associated with the Leverhulme Trust-funded international network "Kant and the Laws of Nature":

text: Tracker says they're the best-selling fishing boat in America, and no matter how many hulls they may sell every year, one thing is beyond question: the diversity of their line-up can't be matched. Tracker builds bass boats, panfish boats, multi-species freshwater fishing boats, jon boats, utility boats, and Sun Tracker pontoon boats. They also own Mako saltwater fishing boats, Tahoe runabouts and deckboats, and Nitro bass boats. Yes—the Tracker family is a big one. And as a result, Tracker enjoys an excellent economy of scale. Many of their models under-cut the competition's prices, and most come with a wide range of options including matched trailers. Buying new Trackers can also be a bit less of a hassle than buying some other brands, since they publish a "no haggle, no hassle" price that's consistent from one dealer to another.

World Vision's Haiti country program manager, Amy Knorr, talks about the current situation in Haiti and World Vision's response over the past year.
A: "Everyone there has lost someone. Everybody has been affected [by the earthquake], and it is heartbreaking. [But] the Haitian people are the most resilient and incredibly strong people I have ever met ... There is great faith and resilience in Haiti. Within days after the earthquake, people were back setting up their stands in the markets."
A: "It is very overwhelming there right now, with so many people still living in tents and temporary shelters — there still are more than 1 million people in tents because of the land tenure and allocation obstacles in and around Port-au-Prince ...
"Many people are feeling a sense of despair and fear after living in tents for [so] long. In some of the camps, there is not a great sense of security."
"Land tenure has been a ... difficult issue to address. It has been extremely [challenging] to determine who owns the titles to many property areas in and around Port-au-Prince. Because these titles have not been documented, many agencies have been unable to build transitional housing on those properties."
A: "World Vision staff members have helped build [more than 620] transitional homes and are moving people out of the camps into the transitional housing. Long-term, we plan to build more than 3,500 transitional shelters ...
"In camps where World Vision is working, staff are also working with committees for security patrol and supporting sensitization around gender-based violence ...
"There are World Vision staff who have been living in tents, and they continue to work diligently each day. There were about 800 World Vision staff in Haiti when the earthquake hit, and now there are close to 1,200 people working to meet needs in Port-au-Prince and surrounding communities."
A: "The water, sanitation, and hygiene programs in the camps have worked especially well. There is an incredible risk of disease spreading quickly with so many people living in the camps. So, maintaining improved sanitation facilities ... building awareness, and providing training about proper hygiene are essential to prevent illnesses.
A: "Through our emergency response programs, we [immediately] respond to help communities facing disasters, and this response also complements our development work.
"From six weeks to six months, staff respond to immediate needs and facilitate cash-for-work programs to help restore livelihoods. Programs like these bolster the transition from emergency response work to long-term development and address the root causes of poverty in communities affected by disasters."
A: "There is an incredible need, and a call to show our solidarity with the poor. There are more than 1 million people still living in tents on an island that is a 90-minute flight from the United States ... World Vision is still trucking water into the camps, distributing food, maintaining sanitation facilities, and [helping to meet] basic needs ..."
A: "Please continue to pray for the resilience and safety of the Haitian people. Also pray for the staff in Haiti — that they will not be discouraged and that they can stay motivated to do God's work ."
A: "There is an incredible amount of hope that we can build back Haiti to be [even] better. There is great coordination among non-governmental organization partners who want to rebuild sustainable, sound buildings and prioritize education in Haiti."

TEACHEY — All season long, Southwest's soccer team has looked to senior forward Austin Tausch to provide the Stallions all their needed goal-scoring.
On Saturday, however, the Stallions showed in their 2-0 victory over Wallace-Rose Hill that others could come up with clutch goals.
Alex Blake and Kevin Hounshell each booted second-half goals to lead Southwest to a victory that sent the Stallions to the NCHSAA 1-A East Regional final for the third consecutive year.
"We've had big contributions from a lot of guys in the first three playoff games," Southwest coach John Sweeney said. "That gives us confidence and makes us dangerous as a team. It's exciting to see."
The Stallions (12-2-2), who are the Coastal Plains Conference champion, will play host to Franklin Academy either Tuesday or Wednesday in the regional final. That winner advances to Saturday's state championship game in Raleigh.
Franklin Academy (13-6), the second seed from the Carolina 12 Conference, beat conference rival Raleigh Charter 6-0 on Saturday.
"I think it's a testament to the toughness of the kids we have at Southwest," Sweeney said. "We lost a lot of quality players (from last year's team), and to lose guys of that caliber and to be right back where we were is a pleasant surprise."
Wallace-Rose Hill (22-2-2), the top seed from the Tri-County Conference, ended its season in the opposite fashion from which it started. The Bulldogs opened their season with a 3-2 win over the Stallions.
Yet the playoff meeting proved to be a different result.
"I thought that we weren't outplayed, but Southwest had a little faster step," Wallace-Rose Hill coach Mike Graybar said. "Once they got that first goal, it changed the momentum of the game."
Graybar was referring to Blake's unassisted goal 7:50 into the second half.
After playing the ball at midfield, Blake, a junior defender, dribbled past a defender before firing a 25-yard shot. The ball bounced off the right hand of Bulldogs goalkeeper Francisco Mejia and rolled into the back of the net.
"I kept seeing that the midfield was open and I thought I would take it and test the waters," Blake said.
And how did Blake feel when he scored the go-ahead goal?
"I felt amazing," he said. "It was the best feeling of my life."
Southwest, though, wasn't done.
The Stallions took a 2-0 lead 10:05 later on a goal from Hounshell, a sophomore forward.
Noah Tausch contributed to the goal after he played the ball from the right corner and delivered a crossing pass to inside the 18-yard box. The ball bounced off a couple of defenders before Hounshell won a scramble for the ball and fired a shot past the goalie.
"I was at the right place at the right time," Hounshell said. "Noah gave a great cross, and I was able to finish."
And the Stallions showed that other players besides Austin Tausch could hurt other teams.
Graybar was asked if his game plan was to try to take Tausch out of the game. He hesitated before fully answering.
"Yes…, I would say so," Graybar said. "Austin is an outstanding player and we definitely had a concept of neutralizing him. I thought we were effective throughout the game, but that one quick counter attack (that led to Blake's goal) changed the dynamic of the whole game."
And certainly the Stallions wouldn't mind if opposing teams focus entirely on Tausch because it could open the door for others.
"I think sometimes our guys think it is a one-man show. They rely on Austin because he's a terrific player and a team leader," Sweeney said. "But they also need to have a little faith in themselves because they can step up in those situations."
That's true as long as the Stallions stick to the basics, which they did in the second half to help their attack.
"I thought we were a little impatient in the first half and just played throughballs and they (Bulldogs) did a good job tracking our forwards," Sweeney said. "We talked at halftime about playing (to the) forward's feet."
But while the attack lifted the Stallions in the final 40 minutes, Southwest can also credit its defense for the victory. The Stallions allowed 5 shots on goal, including 2 in the final two minutes with the game essentially over. Southwest senior goalkeeper Nick Matics made saves on each of the Bulldogs' shots.
"We played them earlier in the season," Blake said. "We knew who they looked to."
It did appear that way.
Southwest's defenders prevented many throughballs and got in the way of many of Wallace-Rose Hill's outside shots.
"Our backs did a terrific job of being disciplined and staying where they needed to be," Sweeney said. "Our midfielders did a good job of tracking back to the outside. Wallace-Rose Hill tried to switch the ball frequently to the outside midfielders and, when they did, they found them marked for most of the time."
The Stallions now look to do the same when they take on Franklin Academy in the regional final. Franklin Academy has scored 19 goals in three postseason games.
"I've heard a lot of good things about one of their players, Ian Hunt, who is a fantastic player," Sweeney said. "They can score goals in bunches. They scored six in the fourth round and five against Dixon in the third round and Dixon was a good team. That's definitely a concern for us."
Southwest 0 2— 2
Wallace-Rose Hill 0 0— 0
GOALS—S: Blake, Hounshell. ASSISTS—None. IN GOAL—S: Matics (5 saves). W: Mejia (4 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—S 6, W 5. CORNER KICKS—S 2, W 1. RECORDS—S: 12-2-2, hosts Franklin Academy in regional final, time TBA. W: 22-2-2, season complete.

Vorinostat in Combination With Palliative Radiotherapy for Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
What is the purpose of this trial?
This is a dose escalation study that will assess the safety of Vorinostat, a Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, in combination with palliative radiotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Vorinostat has been approved for use in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, but several pre-clinical studies suggest activity in lung cancer cell lines. Several HDAC inhibitors,including Vorinostat, may enhance the effect of radiotherapy, and this study will seek to confirm this.

Campaign: We believe the public has a right to know what is being done to animals in experiments and why.
Campaign background
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) sets out the ways the public can get access to information held by the Government. This includes information held by the Home Office, Universities and other bodies about animal experimentation.
There are a number of exemptions for the FOIA including one that says if another law bans information from being given out, then the FOIA doesn't apply to that.
Unfortunately, this applies to animal experiments. Because Section 24 of the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 stops the Home Office giving out information about experiment licences which researchers want to keep secret, we can't use the FOIA to get this information.
The BUAV doesn't think this is fair. We don't want to know researchers names or addresses or anything that is genuinely confidential. However, we do think the public has a right to know what is being done to animals in experiments and why.

You asked
"1)Who told you i am confused ?
2)Who told you it does not make sense to me ?
3)Who told you i have not done so ?"
The answer to all three of those questions is you.
You said "How about we let the bible on side at the moment, and just looke where the scientific evidence leads us ? "
"We" are not the ones that brought the bible into it in the first place.
I said "The 'angels beating their wings' theory of celestial mechanics was a fairly common view in christian circles prior to Newton." in response to something that you said, and your response to this was "But its not biblical, and therefore worthless." I would be perfectly happy to set the bible aside, and, if you don't bring it up. it won't come up.
You said "I think we have a pretty well understanding about the fact , that the universe most probably had a absolute beginning, that it is finely tuned to life, that life needs codified complex and specified information in the cell, that a moral sense is common amongst any tribe and population, that thoughts , will, emotions , speech is a capability of the sould and the spirit, and so a separate entity than the body. All this cannot be explained in a satisfied manner through naturalism, but points straight to a intelligent creator. No god of the gaps argument applies to any of these issues."
I just put the word 'gaps' in that last sentence because it looks like its absence was merely a typo on your part. Sometimes I do that, also. My mind will sort of outrun my fingers, and I will omit a word. If that is what actually happened, then, this is one of many examples of things that you said that lead to the conclusion 'This person is obviously confused' . If you remove that last sentence, what you said there is a textbook perfect example of the 'god of the gaps' argument, and is precisely the formulation of the god of the gap argument used currently by the Intelligent Design camp.
You bring up the bible, and say that we should set the bible aside, you state the classic example of the god of the gaps argument to say that you aren't applying the god of the gaps argument, and you say 'just look where the scientific evidence leads us', which is a bare-bones version of methodological naturalism, to suggest that methodological naturalism is not the best way to proceed. What conclusion is one to draw from that, if not 'this person is clearly quite confused.' ?
So, for the sake of clarity, this would be a good time to back up and start from scratch. You asked why methodological naturalism is always the process used to find explanations for natural phenomena, and supernatural explanations are dismissed out of hand, receiving no serious consideration at all.
The answer to that question is because methodological naturalism works, and supernatural explanations do not. Methodological naturalism has not answered all of the questions yet, but, supernatural explanations haven't answered any of the questions yet. Many supernatural explanations have been offered over the centuries, and all have eventually fallen flat on their face. The contrast between germ theory and wrath of god theory, universal gravitation theory and angelwing theory, psychiatry and demon possession, etc… make this point quite clearly.
If you know of someone that has a supernatural explanation for some physical phenomenon that will withstand being rigorously tested, that would be very interesting to see, but, if the strategy is merely to counter accepted scientific knowledge with 'But, what if your wrong?' you will find that this is an idea that will have difficulty getting any traction at all. Scientists are perpetually asking themselves that question already.

New Bern's Michael Hughes is a threat no matter where he lines up on the football field.
The elusive sophomore is a playmaker on offense, defense and special teams.
It's only his first full season on varsity.
"He is one of those guys, I don't care where we put him, he is going to make plays," New Bern coach Bobby Curlings said. "He's returned punts for touchdowns, interceptions for touchdowns, and he can score any which way you can think of and play numerous positions."
Hughes has stepped up his play during the Bears' postseason run, which has landed them in the 4-A Eastern Regional Finals for the third-consecutive season.
In three playoff games, he has three touchdown receptions and a punt return for a score.
"I will do whatever the team needs me to do," Hughes said. "I've stepped up and am trying to play to the best of my abilities."
Hughes joined New Bern's varsity squad toward the end of last season. He spent most of that time as a back-up quarterback — entering games when New Bern had a healthy lead.
In less than a year, he's already become an impact player.
Hughes stepped into a starting defensive back role. He leads New Bern with five interceptions. He ran two of those back for a touchdown.
"The transition was pretty hard," Hughes said. "This is my first year playing the entire year on defense. I just have to do my responsibilities."
Offensively, Hughes has 219 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He's also piled up 131 rushing yards and two more scores.
"It feels good to play the whole year," he said. "Being a sophomore, and contributing, on varsity, that's unusual. I have to show people what I can do."
Hughes, also a starter on the basketball team, credits his success to his uncle, David Lee, his mother, Tesha Jones, his teammates and coaches.
"I can't do it without the help of my coaches and my family and my teammates," he said.
Hughes is likely the front-runner to be New Bern's starting quarterback the next two years, after the graduation of senior Josh Taylor.
He was the junior varsity quarterback for most of last season.
New Bern's defense has 22 interceptions on the season, including three during last week's 49-35 win over New Hanover.
The offense is scoring 46 points during the playoffs.
The second-ranked Bears (13-0) have a daunting challenge on Friday when they host defending 4-A state champion Scotland County.
The winner advances to the 4-A state championship game in Chapel Hill on Nov. 30.
The Scots routed New Bern, 61-28, last season in Laurinburg.
This year's Scotland County team is averaging 35 points per game on offense, while the defense is yielding 12.5 points
"This is big for us," Hughes said. "We've been here the past two years. It's time to knock the door down and get to Chapel Hill."
