"The bottom line is that overall there was not a huge difference performance change between students in schools which closed and all other students. The small difference there was was actually negative, so it's probably just better to avoid this angle if it does come up."
-- Greg Garrison, DCPS Deputy Chief, Office of Data and Accountability (former) to Peter Weber, DCPS Chief of Strategy (November 7, 2012 - Bates # 014934)
In March 2013 Empower DC and our members filed a lawsuit to block the closure of 15 DC public schools. Although the injunction we sought, which would have stopped the closures entirely, was blocked the judge allowed the lawsuit to move forward on several counts, including our claim of disparate racial impact. The closures ultimately displaced 2,642 children, of which only 2 were white.
As part of the "discovery" phase of the lawsuit, Empower DC received thousands of internal DCPS emails related to school closures and had the opportunity to question under oath four high-level DCPS officials, including Chancellor Kaya Henderson.
We undertook this lawsuit because we know that corporate education reform is hurting our communities, particularly Black and Brown communities where school closures have taken place. These emails show how external, education privatization organizations are having a significant influence on DC education policy behind the scenes, in particular pushing for closures, the rise of charter schools, etc.
Among the many emails that stood out to us are:
1) An exchange between Chancellor Kaya Henderson and former Mayor Vincent Gray dismissing Ward 8 advocates and residents (Bates # 007037)
2) An email from Peter Weber, DCPS Chief of Strategy, to Chancellor Kaya Henderson about setting up a "straw man" (definition: a fake argument set up to be defeated) for school closures (Bates #001233)
3) An email from Chancellor Kaya Henderson dismissing the federal Department of Education and Empower DC's concerns about the discriminatory impact of school closures (Bates #002579)
Follow this link to all of the individual emails
Follow this link to the merged emails for easier searching
Though we've pored over these for hours, we know we haven't found all the significant emails yet. We are releasing all of the thousands of emails to the public. And we look forward to hearing what you find. What did we miss?
Search for your name, your school, community leaders. What jumps out at you?
Note that the files contain many duplicate emails, and each PDF should be read from the last page to the first (the order in which the emails were sent). We have posted the emails as they were given to us, each with it's individual "Bates Number" stamped at the bottom right hand corner. We also posted each Disc of emails as one long merged pdf document so you can search the whole thing at once.
Additionally, we are making the deposition transcripts for Peter Weber (DCPS Chief of Strategy), Lisa Ruda (DCPS Deputy Chancellor for Operations), and Kaya Henderson (DCPS Chancellor) available for your review.

Sunday's forum on Barry Farm was a great success! For those of you who didn't make it or who weren't able to see everything (the rooms was packed!), here's a quick overview of the highlights with links to information that was distributed and one of the videos that was shown.
We also watched a video on the fight to save Barry Farm.
Much of the forum was a panel of residents and two lawyers who have been working to save public housing. Residents strongly spoke of the need to keep traditional public housing, to ensure all residents can stay in Barry Farm, and the ways that residents have been fighting to save their community.
The city and developers continue to push forward with their plans to displace more than 400 families from Barry Farm, a public housing community located in Ward 8 not far from the Anacostia Metro Station. Come hear how residents and allies are resisting displacement, and how you can support them.

District, December 9, 2014

Paulette Matthews wakes up early every morning to check on her four children and grandchild.
Afterwards, she goes around the house to make sure the cracks on the wall haven't gotten larger over the night, and to dust the kitchen to avoid a fire breaking out.
"The house two doors down from mine burned down recently," Matthews said, shaking her head. "Fires are all too common around here."
Matthews is living in one of the 434 public housing units that make up the predominantly black community of Barry Farm, located in Anacostia, a neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C. She is fighting to keep a piece of this neighborhood under a threat of gentrification and development in the face of what she calls inaction from city housing officials.
Next City, January 23, 2015
By Alexis Stephens
Clashes over urban space are often characterized as different groups staking out their territory. Casual observers might even imagine the same apartments are up for grabs among struggling families and artists. But, as I wrote about in "Boston CDC Asks Tough Gentrification Questions," city governments and planners need to dig deeper than anecdotes to make policy decisions that benefit all citizens.
The Washington, D.C. Office of the Chief Financial Officer did some of that digging and recently released data that show people are leaving the city once they have children. The city has seen meteoric growth over the past decade, but families are not feeling as welcome in D.C. as singles. Using income tax data from 2001 to 2012, they found that exit rates for parents with children under four are higher than the rest of the population. This trend was particularly pronounced between 2007 and 2011.

When Muriel Bowser was sworn in last Friday as the new mayor of Washington, DC, she made clear in her inaugural address outlining her vision for the future of the city that a major goal of hers was "winning the Olympics for Washington, DC, in 2024." This reveals a set of priorities that is deeply disturbing.
The Olympic Games—time and again, according to a slew of academic research—have revealed themselves to be defined by debt, displacement and the militarization of public space alongside attendant spikes in police brutality.

WASHINGTON, DC — It's a cold, grey Friday morning in Washington, D.C., and Schyla Pondexter-Moore is standing next to a coffin, asking the assembled homeless activists and non-profit housing advocates to get radical.
"Regardless of how much money I have, my education level, whatever I've been through, I don't deserve to die on the street," the energetic Empower D.C. activist shouts into the microphone in a small tent set up across the street from the building that serves as the District's city hall. "We need to go back to sitting in there," she says, pointing across Pennsylvania Avenue, "not leaving, house protests, find out where they live and go to their houses!"
When we recently asked some of our members this question, here's what we heard:
In 2014, our persistence and willingness to push leaders to do right by DC's low-income neighborhoods led to our most noteworthy victory of the year: the DC Council allocated $9 million to renovate Ivy City's historic Alexander Crummell School for recreation purposes! While we continue to fight our environmental justice case in court, this investment makes it more likely that polluting tour buses won't be coming to the Crummell School parking lot to spew their fumes -- a huge win for a neighborhood treated as DC's dumping ground. But we're not done. Join us in 2015 as .... read more!

In 1867, newly emancipated African Americans created a first-of-its-kind community called Barry Farm. With help from the Freedmen's Bureau, they had purchased 375 acres along the banks of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington and built homes, a market, a church and a school.
The settlement is long gone. What sits on the much-reduced site today is a public-housing complex that bears the same name. The District wants to raze it, put up "mixed income" housing and commemorate the historic Barry Farm through street signs and public art.
The concept, which the National Capital Planning Commission is scheduled to review at a public-hearing Thursday, looks good on paper. But the city has failed to implement similar plans at other public-housing sites. Promises that displaced residents would return to newly built housing developments have, for the overwhelming majority, amounted to a cruel joke.
The Washington Post, October 28, 2014
By Courtland Milloy
As chairman of the Barry Farm Tenants and Allies Association, Detrice Belt already knew about the District government's jacklegged housing scheme, called the "New Communities Initiative." Word gets around about a scam that brazen:
Promise public housing residents a new life in "mixed-income communities." Demolish the public housing complex. Renege on the promise. Repeat.
Four public housing complexes had been targeted for redevelopment when the program began in 2005, including the 444-unit rowhouse-style Barry Farm in
Southeast Washington. There's no question that the complexes are run-down, and the neighborhood has been plagued by crime. But by now, three of the projects should have been completed with a total of 1,500 public housing units incorporated into new mixed-income housing developments.
So far, each of those projects has stalled, and only 490 of the promised units have been built. That wasn't a housing plan. That was a gentrification sting.
Empower DC is releasing selected internal District of Columbia Public School documents that we obtained as a result of our lawsuit against Chancellor Henderson and Mayor Gray (Smith et al. v. Henderson , Gray, et al.). Culled from over 18,800 pages, the documents -- which will be released in a serial fashion -- reveal:
1) The real reasons behind DCPS school closures and the attempts to conceal these reasons from the public;
2) The startling degree of power and influence that corporate foundations pushing education reform wielded over DCPS decison-making processes; and
3) The incestuous, revolving door relationships between DCPS officials and top management of the privatizer, DC Public Education Fund, and its funders, and Teach for America.
Release #1: In Internal Emails, DCPS Chief of Staff Reveals Real Reason Why Gray & Henderson Closed 15 Public Schools
After private funding ran out, closing schools without trying to save them became the alternative funding source for DCPS.
The Washington Post, October 16, 2014
By Jonetta Rose Barras
D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) declared this month that his administration had "invested $1.3 billion to create nearly 6,500 affordable housing units across" the city. He called that an "unprecedented" investment.
Don't shout hallelujah.
His statement raised questions, especially considering comments by Michael Kelly, director of the Department of Housing and Community Development , at the same news conference. Kelly said the District would spend $142 million from the Housing Production Trust Fund to "finance 2,097" additional affordable units.
Wait, wait. If the city is spending $142 million for nearly 2,100 units, why spend $1.3 billion for 6,500?

This year, Empower DC's annual meeting features a panel discussion on how racism and discrimination currently manifest themselves in DC. How are long-time, mostly Black residents of the city being affected by the influx of younger white people? Why do our -- mainly Black -- city leaders push policies such as gentrification and school reform that hurt low and moderate income Black communities? Speakers include Courtland Milloy, Ron Hampton, Dr. Sabiyha Prince, and members of Empower DC's public housing and public education campaigns.
We'll also be voting on proposed changes to Empower DC's bylaws and electing members of Empower DC's Board of Directors.

Only dues-paying members of Empower DC can vote on the bylaw changes and elect Board members. Sign up and pay your dues today. You can do it online, or by mailing a check to Empower DC, 1419 V Street, NW, Washington, DC 20009.
"People are concerned and need some predictability.... We can do better."
-- Anthony Hood, Chairman, DC Zoning Commission
On Monday, July 28, the DC Zoning Commission again considered the Planned Unit Development (PUD) proposed by developers and the city for Barry Farm. This was not a public hearing, but instead a Zoning Commission meeting for the members of the Commission to discuss the PUD and subsequent information submitted by all parties.
It is clear that the work of Barry Farm Tenants and Allies Association (BFTAA) and Empower DC is having an impact. We've delayed – and hopefully will prevent – the displacement of hundreds of low-income families by educating residents about the truth of this redevelopment and the relocation plan; by showing the Zoning Commission that real human beings – not just statistics and numbers – will be affected; and by exposing the callous greed and disregard for residents shown by the developer and city.
At the meeting, the Commissioners noted several critical instances where the developers and the city were intentionally vague or blatantly ignored the concerns of residents. For example:
After their discussion, the Zoning Commission scheduled another hearing for Thursday, September 18 – and we'll be back in the room! This will be a hearing with testimony and presentations from all concerned parties.
To get ready for this hearing, Empower DC is organizing an outreach day to "Wrap Our Arms Around Barry Farm" on Saturday, September 6. All are welcome – we need your help! Meet at 3:00 pm at 1336 Stevens Road, SE. RAIN DATE INFO!: The forecast is calling for thunderstorms on Saturday afternoon. If it's raining hard, we'll postpone the outreach day until Sunday, September 7 -- same time and same place. If you're unsure, call Schyla at (202) 704-7592.

After two previous hearings and the submission of several hundred pages of documents, the DC Zoning Commission is set to rule on the future of Barry Farm. Barry Farm Tenants & Allies Association (BFTAA) calls on Empower DC members and supporters to turn out and stand with them to tell the DC Zoning Commission to Reject the Developers' Planned Unit Development (PUD) application!
Barry Farm and Wade Road Apartments, totaling 444-units on coveted land near the Anacostia Metro, is the latest community to be disrupted and displaced, and residents' rights put at-risk because of planned development. The developers' Planned Unit Development (PUD) application must be rejected because it inadequately addresses critical questions about affordability and the well-being of residents, and would cause an immediate net-loss of desperately needed affordable housing in the District at a time when we are experiencing a housing crisis among low-income and homeless families.

In Federal Court, Black Parents Refute DC's Justification for Closing 15 Neighborhood Public Schools
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In the federal court case challenging the constitutionality of the January 2013 decision by Mayor Vincent Gray and D.C. Public Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson to close fifteen public schools in Black neighborhoods, plaintiffs filed papers Monday showing that the claimed justification for closing the schools was false. Plaintiffs Shannon Smith and Marlece Turner's children's schools were among the schools defendants closed. The plaintiffs are members of Empower DC, a citywide community organization promoting the self-advocacy of low and moderate-income DC residents that has led organizing efforts to block school closures.
Plaintiffs' opposition to summary judgment argues that on the week 60th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education,"[ t]he vision of high-quality and integrated public schools articulated in the Brown… landmark decision[] has been steadily and intentionally replaced in the District of Columbia by a divided system in which certain, mostly White, affluent students West of Rock Creek Park enjoy the benefit of serious investments in their traditional public schools, while mostly Black students East of the Park witness their public schools being closed and increasingly and intentionally replaced by publicly funded but privately operated charter schools".
Update: Death by a Thousand Cuts: Racism, School Closures, and Public School Sabotage, a report by the Journey 4 Justice Alliance, has just been released publicly. It's a damning look at the devastation caused by the planned growth of charter schools and the concurrent closure of neighborhood public schools in communities of color across the country. Download and read -- we'd love to hear your comments.
Also today, Journey 4 Justice filed three complaints under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act,
May 17 marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in the historic Brown v. Board of Education case that legally ended segregation in public schools. However, the struggle continues as public schools across the country are being closed in communities of color and our neighborhoods are losing access to free public schools that children can attend as a matter of right. Join Empower DC and our national partners for a series of events to commemorate Brown v. Board of Education and continue the fight for high-quality education for all our children.
For more information about these events, contact Daniel at 202-234-9119 x.104 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Local Day of Action
Saturday, May 17, 2014; 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
Sousa Middle School
3650 Ely Place, SE
Local day of action that includes a community forum and workshops. Topics include school closures, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the privatization of education. Co-sponsored with DCJWJ, MLOV, Our DC, Teaching for Change, WTU, and The Council of School Officers.
And listen to the most recent edition of Empower DC's radio show, Taking Action, to hear local parent activists Marlece Turner and Shannon Smith talk about how school closures have affected their families and the ongoing fight for high-quality neighborhood public schools.
We need to demand that DC invest in public housing and stop pushing people out of DC or into homelessness! We demand that the city:
The city now has fewer thatn 8,000 units of public housing, down from 20,000 -- and a homeless crisis. In its budget, DC allocates money for housing police, but none for the actual housing, relying solely on drastically dwindling federal HUD funds. And when the Mayor and Councilmembers talk about investing $100 million in affordable housing, they don't mean housing for our city's most vulnerable residents. They mean "workforce housing" for those earning $60,000.
Is this the city you want to live in?
Join us for a rally and testify at the DCHA budget hearing:
Wednesday, April 30
12:00 Noon
Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW

Originally build in 1952, the Grand Hotel is a well-known tourist and business hotel. After playing host to international dignitaries and leaders, the hotel suffered a disastrous fire in 1995 but was rebuilt and reopened for business in 1998. The architecture features a traditional Chinese palace style design - vermilion pillars, majestic archways and the world's largest tiled roof. The property sits atop a hill overlooking downtown Taipei, and from a distance one can make out the distinctive and modern Taipei 101 building, currently the world's tallest skyscraper (and site of one of our networking dinners).
ARAC Executive Committee MeetingPrior to the start of the conference, I was invited to participate in the ARAC Executive Committee (EC) meeting. The EC is comprised of the volunteer heads (presidents) of each of the four associations, association heads (secretary generals) and others. It is my understanding that the EC has not maintained a fixed meeting schedule, but has met at least once a year since its formation in 2001.
During our meeting, the following issues were addressed.
- Appointment of new ARAC Chair/Secretariat. Mr. S.C. Chen, TSRAIA President, will assume the position with a four-year term running Oct. 2006 through 2010.
- Adoption of official ARAC logo.
- Interest in exchanging information on regional government regulations was expressed, as was interest in harmonizing industry statistics collected across associations. New task forces will be formed to address each in the coming months.
- Concern about counterfeit adhesive material was also discussed. It was decided that ARAC will confront reputed counterfeiters and bring them to appropriate national government(s).
- Korea will host the 4th ARAC Conference in 2010.
ARAC ConferenceThe ARAC Conference hosted some 260 delegates from the four associations. Business and technical attendees representative of the leading Asian adhesive manufacturers, raw material, and equipment suppliers were in attendance. The meeting's theme was "Glue the World Together," and it featured a mix of industry overview and technical discussions. The program opened with a general plenary session featuring the presentation "Future Technology Development: A Global View," by Dr. Johnsee Lee, president of Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute, as well as regional industry discussions from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and the United States. (Copies of these discussions are available on the ASC's International webpage, www.ascouncil.org/govt/intl_home.cfm.)
Following the plenary session, 30 technical papers were presented over the course of a day and a half. Presentations were given by representatives from all four associations and included discussions on the following issues: environmentally friendly raw materials; advances in pressure-sensitive adhesives; hot-melt reactives; VOC emission test methods and standardization in Japan; adhesives used in footwear, LCD, and electronics applications; and a particularly interesting paper on a reversible adhesive technology recently developed by Konishi. In addition, there were 23 suppliers who participated in a small expo, which ran the duration of the meeting.
The conference was technically conducted in English, although most of the speakers I heard spoke their native language. Headsets were available for those speaking Chinese, Japanese and Korean, but translations were limited to the material presented on PowerPoint presentations and not a literal translation of the presenters' remarks. Q&A sessions were sporadically translated into English, depending on who was asking the question. Although it was a bit challenging to communicate freely with most attendees due to language issues, I did glean from several companies a sincere interest in partnering more with U.S. manufacturers, as well as learning more about U.S. regulations and how they compare with their own country's.
Despite the linguistic challenges, I was warmly received by all and felt quite welcomed. ARAC went out of its way to make me feel at home; I was included at the head table at dinner functions and was offered ample opportunity to make formal welcome remarks. I feel ASC's presence has done much for fostering closer relations with ARAC, and will be of particular benefit as the ASC plans to host the 2008 World Adhesive Conference.

So....I reckon if it goes to trial over assault, the dog is going to take an insanity plea? I think the dog will get off on this one.
It was revenge for an earlier incident where the owner had shot the dog's "paw"...........................................sorry folks, guess I've been watching way too much "Gunsmoke" lately....

Notebook - Anna Apinis, Latvian Weaving Patterns, 1930s-1940s Reg. No: HT 21861
- Summary:
- Notebook documenting traditional Latvian weaving designs. It was kept by Anna Apinis, who attended weaving lessons in Liepaja in Latvia from 1930 to 1933. She spent hours at the nearby Ethnographic Museum recording traditional fabric designs in her notebooks. Anna continued compiling these notebooks throughout her years in Memmingen Displaced Persons camp in Germany from 1947, until she immigrated to Australia with her husband Ervins and son Erik in 1950. She painstakingly sketched and documented ancient Latvian designs from the regional costumes rescued by other Latvian refugee women in this notebook. She then wove them on her loom with threads gathered by unraveling old scraps of fabric. Anna brought her loom made from discarded timbers in the camp to Australia. Anna and her daughter Anita (born in Australia) continued to weave traditional and experimental Latvian designs throughout their lives.
- Description:
- 104 page notebook with aqua blue cardboard cover, brown taped spine and red and white plaited cord assisting in binding the book together, along with staples. Pages filled with weaving designs both drawn directly onto the pages and cut out and adhered to the pages. Annotations in Latvian.

On July 26, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit became the first circuit to adopt the Ninth Circuit's holding in U.S. v. Nosal, 676 F.3d 854 (9th Cir. 2012), that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act does not apply to employees who steal data from the company computers. WEC Carolina Energy Solutions LLC v. Miller, 2012 WL 3039213 (4th Cir. July 26, 2012). This case places the Fourth and Ninth circuits in direct conflict with the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh circuits, increasing the odds that the U.S. Supreme Court will address this issue at some point.
The CFAA, the federal computer crime statute, allows individuals or companies victimized by violations of the statute to bring a civil action against the perpetrator. U.S.C. 1030(g). For a theft of data a plaintiff must prove that the defendant accessed the computer "without authorization" or exceeded his authorized access. The conflict among the circuits centers on what it means to access a computer without authorization. This article will examine the scope of this issue and the likelihood that the Supreme Court will resolve this conflict in favor of the more expansive meaning of "without authorization."

First ACM Awards Performers Announced; Jennifer Nettles Hits Reality TV; Catching up with Jonny Corndawg
- In case you missed Barry Mazor's comments about Trisha Yearwood on yesterday's news post, here they are again: Ms. Yearwood is also at work recording a new album. She told me on Tuesday after the Hall of Fame induction announcements, that she half feared people would JUST think of her as a cooking show host now, and suddenly realized that it's been five years since her last (IMHO, very good) CD.
- Chet Flippo's newest Nashville Skyline column is about the name change on Tammy Wynette's tomb. Another article on CMT.com says that the name change was agreed upon by Wynette's children and stepchildren.
- Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith, and Tim McGraw are the first performers announced for this year's ACM Awards.
- Lionel Richie and the late Etta James will be inducted into the Apollo Hall of Fame.
- Chely Wright is opening an LGBT community center in Kansas City, Mo. this weekend.
- Stephen Deusner reviews the upcoming Justin Townes Earle album, Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now, for American Songwriter: this collection sounds strangely slight and inert, lacking the impact of 2010's Harlem River Blues. Earle himself sounds ragged and tired, as if he's singing after a few sleepless nights. Too often the tempos lag and the music plods uncharacteristically, despite so many compelling musical flourishes.
- Caine O'Rear of American Songwriter catches up with Jonny Corndawg before SXSW.
- The video for Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl" will debut on Entertainment Tonight Monday, March 12.
- Rockin' Acoustic Circus has changed its name to Belfry Fellows.
- John Rich and Jennifer Nettles will star in separate reality television singing competitions.
- The Alabama Shakes are the cover story in the newest issue of American Songwriter.
- Brad Paisley is on the cover of the April issue of Cigar Aficionado.
- Eddie Gill is the newest member of Big Country Bluegrass. He'll be playing guitar and singing lead.

I'm very excited that Trisha is back in the studio. Now if Mrs. Brooks can just get her hubby to do the same….
It would be nioce to have some new music from Yearwood. Her presence on radio has been missed
Count me also among those excited at the prospect of a new Yearwood album. I would definitely agree that her most recent album was, in the most understated of terms, "very good."
It was also, I think, Ben, much under-appreciated and underplayed.
I agree. It was certainly one of her best albums.
Me … [counts comments] … four. There's got to be room on radio for an adult woman's perspective and voice. I don't blame the radio folks for wanting the kids, too, but when country music stops being something adults want to hear and identify with, it loses touch with one of its main taproots.
I've always considered Trisha a fine vocalist from an objective technical aspect yet I've never cared for her singing. I find that technique supercedes or replaces real emotion in everything she does to my ears anyway. At least she's not as robotic as Carrie Underwood…
Its sounds like JTE's musical creativity was fueled by his chemical vices. Its nice that he's clean and sober, its just a shame it made his music boring in the process. Oh well.
So, does anyone know if Dex Romweber will be at SXSW? I think Dex and Jonny Corndawg would make a great double bill!
All this hoopla about the name change on Tammy Wynette's grave stone is almost enough to make me wish for more "who's having a baby" news at Engine 145! No wait, I take that back…
It was also, I think, Ben, much under-appreciated and underplayed.
I wholeheartedly agree on both accounts. Ideally, I would love to see her next album receive more attention, but I don't know how optimistic one can be in that regard.

Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Thaw: 40 Minutes
Chill: 2 Hours
Cool: 10 Minutes
- 8 (about 6 ounces each) beef filet mignons (1/2-inch thick)
- Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 8 ounce(s) mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 2 tablespoon(s) finely chopped shallots
- 4 clove(s) garlic, minced
- All-purpose flour
- 2 sheets Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry, thawed according to package directions
- 1/2 cup(s) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season the beef with black pepper.
- • Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 10 minutes, turning the beef over once during cooking. Remove the beef to a plate. Cover the plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or until the beef is cold.
- • Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots and garlic and season with black pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, stirring often. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and let cool.
- • Sprinkle the work surface with the flour. Unfold the pastry sheets on the floured surface. Roll the pastry sheets into 2 (14-inch) squares. Trim the edges to form 2 (13-inch) squares. Cut each square into 4 squares, making 8 squares in all.
- • Place 1 tablespoon Gorgonzola in the center of each pastry square. Divide the mushroom mixture evenly among the pastry squares. Top each with 1 filet mignon. Fold 2 opposite pastry corners over the beef, overlapping slightly, and press to seal. Brush with the egg. Repeat with the remaining pastry corners.
- • Place the pastry-wrapped beef seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate the pastry-wrapped beef and the remaining egg for 1 hour or overnight.
- • Heat the oven to 425°F. Brush the pastry-wrapped beef with the remaining egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the temperature of the beef is 117°F. Serve immediately.

Villegas to Aquino: We are your quiet supporters
He was only four months into the priesthood working as the personal secretary of Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin when he heard the portly prelate make a telephone call to Church-run Radio Veritas the night the Edsa People Power Revolution broke out.
Sin then proceeded to read a statement he had written for broadcast calling on the faithful to mass on Edsa to protect then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and then Lt. Gen. Fidel Ramos who had holed up at Camps Aguinaldo and Crame after an aborted coup attempt on Feb. 22, 1986.
Socrates B. Villegas, who was ordained priest by Sin in October 1985 and immediately took him under his wing, said he and a group of priests had been discussing various scenarios during those troubled times sparked by the assassination in August 1983 of opposition leader Benigno Aquino, whose widow was leading a civil disobedience campaign after charging that she was cheated by dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the snap elections two weeks earlier.
"It was very uncertain, because if things turned out differently and Marcos won, so to speak, and then there was bloodshed, history was going to judge Cardinal Sin as responsible for putting his flock in danger. I saw the consequences three steps ahead," Villegas, now the archbishop of Dagupan and Lingayen, told me in an interview in February.
"As for him, he was so sure it was not going to happen. I was discussing with him. I was debating with him. I was so shocked when he called Radio Veritas."
That the revolution was generally peaceful was attributed to the massing of millions led by priests and nuns armed only with rosaries and flowers facing tanks and soldiers in full combat gear sent to Edsa by Marcos.
The ailing dictator was airlifted into exile in Hawaii on the fourth day of the revolt, as howling mobs stormed the Palace. In his place was installed Aquino's widow, Corazon. Relations had never been closer since between the government and the Church.
'Litany of storms'
It is a whole different story in the second Aquino administration, now midway through its six-year term.
Villegas, who was elected at the weekend as president of the 100-strong Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), has his work cut out for him.
In January, the CBCP issued a pastoral statement outlining a "litany of storms" besetting the nation. It was regarded as the strongest indictment of the state since Cardinal Sin became primate of the Philippine Church two years after the declaration of martial law in 1972. Longhaired priests, advancing the Theology of Liberation embraced by clerics in Latin America, were in the forefront of the struggle then against the Marcos regime.
The statement slammed "the promotion of a culture of death and promiscuity"; divorce, which it said was "resulting in more breakups of families and the dysfunctional growth of children"; the use of condom, aggravating HIV-AIDs infection, and school sex education, bringing more promiscuity and teenage pregnancy; the widening practice of political dynasties; the unwillingness of the administration to undertake agrarian reform.
It also attacked the controversial reproductive health (RH) law, whose constitutionality is being questioned in the Supreme Court, and called strongly on the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to address concerns on the conduct of the May 13 automated elections.
The prelates criticized "continuing corruption and abuse of power by public officials due to lack of information, or still worse, the possible hiding of information from the public."
"It is ironic that the government that prides itself on treading the daang matuwid fears the right of information (freedom of information) bill because of possible discovery of wrongdoing by public officials. Why are they afraid to entrust the citizens with the truth of their government?"
Difficult times
In the interview in February, the 52-year-old Villegas told me that the relationship between the Church and President Aquino was "far from ideal."
"I think we could do more for the people if the relationship is a bit more warm and more open and probably even more trusting," he said, harking back to the Cory Aquino years.
"I hope it is clear to the people that it is not because the Church enjoys wielding power," he said. "It is really for the moral, spiritual fiber of Filipinos in order to retain very clearly our Catholic identity in Asia," said the prelate, who was Cardinal Sin's personal secretary until his promotion to archbishop in 2004, the youngest to be so elevated. Sin died the following year.
"We are raising our voices because Catholic values are being compromised," Villegas said. "And the Catholic people are being given a hard time to live up to their Catholic beliefs and convictions."
The soft-spoken bishop said the Church was doing its utmost to deal with myriad social problems.
"Candidly, I am not expecting much from the government. It's because, for example, when we called attention to the failure in the equitable distribution of land to the farmers, they came so strongly on the defensive. The same thing happened when we raised questions about the Comelec, instead of assuring us that the anxiety would be attended to."
Last year, amid the contentious debates on the RH bill, Villegas said that he and Bishop Gabriel Reyes, who also had served as Cardinal Sin's personal secretary, asked for an audience with President Aquino.
"He accommodated us. We told him we are friends of your mother. We are your quiet supporters. In your situation, you will have people whispering nice things to you. But we are your friends. We want to say things you don't want to hear because we want you to avoid mistakes. So we explained ourselves and he was very grateful. In the case of Tita Cory, we didn't have to explain ourselves, because she always looked at us as friendly critics."

OMG...I just read ALL the inspiring comments about getting pregnancy at a mature age....JUST LOVE IT!! It gives me hopes to read all these moms having kids after 40!

my mom had me at 38posted 08/06/2012 by queenrilly
You are only as old as you feel. If you can handle another one and are fine with the health risks... Go for it. Don't worry about what other people have to say. They aren't going to be the ones to care for your child, you are. They aren't going to have to deliver your child, you are. So they have no say in what you do. My grandma is trying to steal my unborn baby, lol. She just got married last year and is in her 80's she keeps telling me if I feel I can't handle this kid she and her husband could just take it for us. Don't be a baby stealer! Have them while you can if you want more! :) I love my grandma, but she can't have my babies.posted 03/16/2012 by kim253

Thank you everyone for your post. I am 39 years old and want to have a baby. I had lunch with a friend who was very discouraging, so to come home and read these posts has made me feel better. It is such an emotional matter when you are older, but want to have a child. I am encouraged by these posts and I pray that I will have the privilege of conceiving a child and being a mother.posted 07/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

To curb the menace of ragging, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked higher education institutes across the country to install electronic surveillance and alarm bells at places frequented by students. Apart from this, they should form anti-ragging squads, quick-response teams and identify trouble-mongers in advance.
Citing its 2009 anti-ragging regulations, the UGC has directed educational institutes to install CCTVs inside canteens, hostels and college corridors and lawns. "The presence of CCTVs will act as a deterrent for senior students. It will also help the authorities to identify the culprits," it said. "Alarm bells should be placed in places from where junior students can press them in case of trouble. The authorities can rush to help them after hearing the alarm."
The UGC has also stressed on the need to identify students who are likely to create trouble for juniors at the start of the academic session. "Identifying trouble-mongers will help the authorities control ragging cases in their institutes," a UGC official told dna.
Apart from these measures, the UGC has also recommended surprise inspection of hostels, other places of accommodation, canteens, recreational rooms, toilets and bus stands. "Institutes are also free to adopt other measures which would prevent ragging and other uncalled-for behaviour or incidents," the official said.
Students and parents must be made aware of the anti-ragging helpline, website and monitoring agency too. In 2009, the government launched a 24-hour anti-ragging toll-free helpline (1800-180-5522) to help students in distress get immediate assistance. The UGC also launched an anti-ragging website (www.antiragging.in) which has received 1,084 complaints till now. The investigation is pending in the case of 391 complaints.
The UGC has asked institutes to step up the anti-ragging mechanism by way of adequate publicity through various mediums, action-packed anti-ragging committee and anti-ragging squad, quick-response-system, regular interaction and counselling, prominence to anti-ragging in the institution's prospectus and information booklets or brochures.

When does BigRed56 get out of jail?
Jeff can defend himself but I think you simply do not know anything of his background. Jeff H was a professional marine archetect and designed the kinds of boats we are talking about. He may be, perhaps, the only true yachting industry person on this board and thus has a unique perspective. I do not know Jeff personally, but we are both from the Annapolis area. He has been very generous with his own time in writing me and others here with some very good advice. Jeff has owned, cruised and raced aboard many boats over a period of decades. From what I gather, he races once or twice a week in addition to cruising the boat he just got after a long search, a Farr 38.
I, for one, appreciate someone who is willing to put the effort into posting a well informed and carefully thought out answer and who can take a bashing... on TECHNICAL merits. Jeff has a well known biased towards light, modern hulls, but he says so, for the most part and it makes a good balance to those of us who are affectionado''s of heavy displacement offshore boats.
Ignorant comments directly towards someone personally have no place here.

Open season for the federal long term care insurance program
Monday - 5/2/2011, 11:45pm EDT
By Andrew Mitchell
Federal News Radio
Paul E. Forte, CEO of the LTC Programs for Federal Employees, and Beth O'Brien, Manager of Program Promotion, joined hosts Bob Leins and Tammy Flanagan for a discussion of the federal long term care insurance program. The open season, the first since 2002, is available through June 24, 2011.
Who is eligible for the FLTCIP during the open season? As noted on the FLTCIP website, the current open season offers what is called an "abbreviated underwriting opportunity." This means that if you are not currently enrolled in the federal employees' long term care insurance program, you may fill out an application with a limited number of health questions. According to the FLTCIP website, people in the following categories are eligible to apply:
- Federal and U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employees in positions that convey eligibility for the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (whether or not they are actually enrolled in FEHB);
- Active members of the Uniformed Services who are on active duty or full-time National Guard duty for more than 30 days;
- Active members of the Selected Reserve;
- Tennessee Valley Authority employees (even though they may not be eligible for FEHB coverage);
- D.C. government employees first employed by the D.C. government on or before October 1, 1987;
- D.C. Courts employees;
- Navy Personnel Command (BUPERS) NAF employees;
- Spouses of employees listed above;
- Same-sex domestic partners of civilian workforce members who have submitted (either directly or through their partner) a form affirming this status to the partner's employing agency.
The website also addresses some frequently asked questions.
Can current FLTCIP enrollees make changes to their current plans? Current enrollees, according to the FLTCIP website, may make changes to their plan at any time, not just during the open season. However, they may not use an open season application to do so. They are advised to contact Long Term Care Partners at 1-800-LTC-FEDS.
What sort of questions are on the FLTCIP open season application? The application form asks whether you are already in a long term care or assisted living situation or are receiving in-home assistance. There are also questions about medical conditions, medical devices and your current level of independence.
How much does long term care cost? The FLTCIP website offers a premium calculator. Rates vary based on your age and amount of coverage.
What kind of care does FLTCIP insurance cover? LTC insurance pays not only for nursing home and assisted living facilities but also for home health care. "Any kind of home- or community-based care is covered at 100 percent of whatever coverage amount you elect," said Forte. Flanagan noted that this also includes costs incurred by an "informal caregiver," such as an in-law or even a neighbor who takes care of the insured. The purpose of this, said Forte, is to allow the aging to stay in their own homes for as long as possible before being compelled by circumstance to enter an elder care facility. "About 67 percent of our claims are home care claims," added O'Brien.
Where can I get more information about this? The website for federal employees that pertains directly to the open season is ltcfeds.com. There is also a general interest website for all citizens, the National Clearinghouse for Long Term Care Information at longtermcare.gov.

Last year, I read this column by Salena Zito in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Ms. Zito argues Washington, D.C.'s prosperity has blinded lawmakers to the economic hardships rest of the country faces, noting the capital's construction crane glut and the long lines at Starbucks.
The column continues into politics from there. But it got me thinking: How different is DC from the rest of the United States?
Last week, I made a map exploring this. What it showed me was a little surprising. Read more »

The average Financial Coordinator in the United States earns approximately $18.09 per hour. Total cash compensation for Financial Coordinators runs from $30K to $57K depending on bonuses that can occasionally exceed $3K and profit sharing that can reach almost $4K. Geography is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by career duration. Health benefits are not claimed by all — one in four lack any form of coverage — but a majority have medical insurance, and the greater part have dental, too. For the most part, Financial Coordinators enjoy their work and report high levels of job satisfaction. Female Financial Coordinators far outnumber their male contemporaries among survey respondents. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

Financial coordinators are generally responsible for record keeping within their organization. They create payment schedules to help customers handle outstanding payments, and they subsequently makes sure customers stick to these schedules. The main objective of a financial coordinator is to ensure their business maximizes revenue from the business it conducts. They oversee the majority of accounts payable and receiving transactions. as well as constantly evaluate incoming transactions and interest rates - recommending changes as appropriate to ensure maximum financial returns. Additionally, the financial coordinator is responsible for monitoring all outgoing vendor payments, ensuring payments go out on time and that no late fees or penalties are charged.Read More...
The day-to-day responsibilities of financial coordinators include maintaining accounting records in adherence to the organization's financial procedures, preparing internal and external financial reports, and preparing and recommending budget procedures. This position is generally full time, although financial coordinators' schedules vary depending on deadlines and the needs of their company. Financial coordinators' time is spent primarily in the office interacting with other members of the finance team and other employees within the organization. They typically report to a finance manager or the chief financial officer (CFO).
Financial coordinator jobs generally require a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, as well as at least three years' experience working in a finance environment. Excellent communication, organizational, and multitasking skills are required. Financial coordinators are required to have extensive knowledge in the finance field, and they must be proficient in basic computer software.
Survey results imply that Financial Coordinators deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, facility with Accounting, Budget Management, and General Ledger Accounting are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 25 percent, 17 percent, and 7 percent, respectively. Those listing Financial Applications as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable also typically command lower compensation. Most people skilled in Insurance are similarly competent in Financial Reporting. It is often found that people who know Accounts Receivable are also skilled in Accounts Payable and Financial Reporting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Financial Coordinators, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. The average inexperienced worker earns $39K, and someone who has worked for five to 10 years can expect a bigger median salary of $41K. On average, Financial Coordinators make $42K following one to two decades on the job. As Financial Coordinators reach more than two decades on the job, compensation remains commensurate with experience; the average pay in this group is $47K.
For Financial Coordinators, New York provides a pay rate that is 45 percent greater than the national average. Financial Coordinators can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Washington (+32 percent), Minneapolis (+23 percent), Boston (+23 percent), and Chicago (+10 percent). Austin ranks last in the field for pay, reporting salaries 12 percent below the national average.

For example, a lot of ETR accessories appear to have been marked "ETR" even when the camera body had changed to the ETRS or ETRSi so you've no idea how old something is. Not that it makes a lot of difference (as all backs, viewfinders, speed grips and lenses will fit all bodies) but it'd still be interesting to collectors.

Del Monte Points to Rising Operating Costs for 1Q09 Losses, an Industrial Info News Alert
Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) — For the 13 weeks ending July 28, Del Monte Foods Company's (NYSE:DLM) (San Francisco, California) gross profits were 5.9% lower than their profits from the same period last year. This loss occurred despite the fact that net sales were up 15.9% on a year-over-year basis, from $627 million in 1Q08 to $726 million this quarter. In a conference call regarding the quarter's earnings, Chief Financial Officer Dave Meyers blamed across-the-board cost increases for lowering the company's overall profits.

This is an opposition brief to a medical malpractice defendant's motion asking the court to allow defense counsel to hold ex parte meetings with subsequent treating physicians of the plaintiff, under the HIPAA statute. This is a favorite defense tactic in recruiting the plaintiff's own physicians to serve as expert witnesses against the plaintiff's case. In the opposition brief, we show that the defense argument that these ex parte meetings serve only to "level the playing field" does not hold water, and we discuss physician ethical requirements which argue against encouraging doctors to hold such meetings with their patients' adversaries.
