I broke my little toe and just taped it to the next toe. It healed fine.
My mistake was in ignoring the pain in my foot. 18 months later I got it x-rayed and found out there were two unhealed fractures. A few weeks in a boot fixed that.
In hindsight, I wish I'd gotten it x-rayed in the first place.

Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha is stable but will continue to stay in hospital Thursday as he still gets breathless, said doctor.
"Mr Sinha is stable. Still gets breathless at times during the day. Medications being adjusted. He will be in the hospital for few more days," Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital COO Ram Narain told IANS.
The actor-politician was hospitalised July 2 at the hospital after he complained of a breathing problem. The 66-year-old developed respiratory allergic reaction due to painting at his residence.
Known for films like "Kalicharan", "Blackmail", "Dostana" and "Shaan", Sinha later ventured out from films into politics. He is the Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Patna Saheb, Bihar.

We are leaving the Chesapeake for our annual trip north on Thursday after having almost all of out elctronics as well as engine panel and lights taken out by a lighning strike from the water 3 weeks ago moored in Annapolis visiting Sailnet friends (4arch, Captain Rizzo, Wingnwing)
Tenatively in a perfect world I will list some of our iteinerary. We choose to visit and vacation in small blocks rather than do the leap from Cape May to Block Island as we love some of the towns we visit on the Jersey Shore and the western LI Sound. There are 5 weather days built in to this as we dont have to be back in the Chesapeake until September 10. The long range weather looks good for the first week or so so god willing wer should be be staying close to our itinerary to Marhas Vineyard, after then who knows..haha.
We would love to meet any Sailnetters from up there if your shedules permit you to hang out for dinner one of the nights, have drinks if we are in a marina cloise by or raft up.
Also please make suggestions as to restaurants, things to visit etc. We have been to some of these ports in the last 7 years, but I would like to hear your perspective on them. In addition recommend other places to visit on the Sound in case we dont have to use any of our weather days. We would love to see new towns. We have been to Mystic, Newport ( not on the Sound), Old Saybroooke, Westport already.

Fair book, but entirely too preachy. I know its an inspirational romance, but every other word is about God and its hard to get into the gest of the mystery when they suddenly stop to praise god for every little thing. Too much. It takes away from the story.

WOW! Fantastic Christian suspense!
When her client and old college friend is murdered, P.I. Kat Justice knows the killer will come for her next. Her survival depends on finding her unknown enemy first…and working with homicide detective Mitch Elliot, her onetime crust. It'll take all her professional skills to ignore the sparks between them, but Kat can't allow the handsome cop to get close. She's seen too many people she loves die, so she vows just to do her job without getting emotionally involved. Yet keeping her distance may not be the best way to protect her heart – or their lives.
This book got my heart racing by the third page. The suspense continued throughout the book. Thankfully it wasn't heart-pounding the whole time. There were wonderful periods of great character and relationship development spread throughout as well. Susan did a fabulous job of introducing the main characters and their personality types in the first chapter. Then as the story progresses she gradually reveals events from each person's past to show how those personalities were developed. It was very easy to connect with both Kat and Mitch. I was very interested to see how each of them would grow and develop as the story progressed.

Dead Wrong (The Justice Agency) by Susan Sleeman
Last night I finished reading the newest Justice Agency book No Way Out. I realized that their was a Justice Agency book I had not read. So around midnight I ordered Dead Wrong and was just going to read a chapter or two. Finally around three I could not keep my eyes open any longer and first thing this am I finished reading it. I enjoyed it and had a hard time laying it down.
The plot was full of drama and action. You did not realize who or why the murder had happen. Now who was trying to kill Kat.
This is a clean read too.
The Justice family of three brothers and two sisters all took after their adoptive father who was a cop. They went into different branches of law enforcement. When their parents were murdered and the killers were not found, They all quit their jobs to come back home and search for their killers. They worked together so well they decided to go into the P.I. business together.
Kat used to be a local cop. She called her ex-partner Tommy to meet her at a client's house. The door was open so Kat went in and found Nancy's dead body. The killer was still their. He was able to tie Kat up and was getting ready to Kill her with drug overdose when Mitch arrived at the house.
Kat when she was a rookie cop had a crush on Mitch. Mitch was hit on a lot and did not date co-workers anymore. Mitch and Tommy are partners now. When Tommy could not meet Kat, Mitch went instead. He saw that the house was dark and called Kat. He could hear the phone from inside the house ring. Kat screamed and Mitch went in and the killer got away.
So Kit, Mitch and Tommy were going to work together to keep Kat safe, find Nancy's killer and maybe Nancy's brother's killer. Which is why Nancy hired the Justice Agency in the first place. Kat did not want her family involved and being in the line of fire.
I liked the book a lot and look forward too reading the last two books of the series in the future.

Private Investigator Kat Justice arrived at her friend Nancy Bodig's darkened house. After calling 911 and leaving a phone message for her former partner, Tommy, currently Mitch's partner, she goes inside without backup and trips over her friend's dead body. She's jumped by Nancy's killer, who attempts to inject her with a syringe to silence her, too—which turns out to be propofol. When Detective Mitch Elliot arrives at Nancy's house, he phones Kat. The call interrupts the killer, and the car chase is on with Mitch, who loses the killer at a railroad crossing.
Nancy's twin brother, Nathan, had died two months earlier in a car accident that landed him in a ravine. Nancy accepted the ruling of no foul play until the day she decided to call his cell phone and a strange man answered. Hiring Kat to investigate her brother's death ended in her own death and the attempted murder of Kat.
Susan Sleeman proceeds to take us on a roller coaster ride of cliff hanging danger, mounting suspense, missing 'threat' files, countless 'safe house' changes, and multiple attempts on Kat's life. This all transpired while they tried to ID the perpetrator and Kat was in protective custody of the detectives. As investigators, no lead was too small, which made the story credible. The characters grow on you, especially the tensive romantic relationship between Kat and Mitch, her former crush. Kat's independent and controlling behaviors made it difficult to keep her safe, which added even more tension to the story.
Kat's constant worrying fit the Scripture verse used at the beginning of the story. Worrying doesn't add a single hour to your life. Once confronted, she worked on relying more on the Lord through prayer, which influenced Mitch back to his faith. The author's use of faith in the story wasn't pushy, but gave testimony to how one's own faith can influence another person.
I loved the unexpected outcome! I kind of saw it coming, yet it wasn't what I figured at all. Susan has again hit another winner in her Justice Agency series. I'll be looking forward to her next book.
This book was provided by the author in exchange for my honest review. No monetary compensation was received.

I do love a good suspense, and Susan has come through for me once again. Dead Wrong is the second book in The Justice Agency series, but you don't need to read Double Exposure to enjoy this book, though I suggest you do simply because it's good.
It has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, and enough romantic tension to keep you on the edge of your seat.
***I received this book from the publisher/author for purposes of review. The above is my honest opinion.***

New Option - Felix, Lincoln, & Lennox
OK, so I misspelled Lincoln in the poll and we have a third option. I haven't been sold on Lincoln, I much prefer Felix. But, I may have found a compromise name because I'm really loving Lennox.
EMMERT is the correct spelling of the middle name. it is my MIL's maiden name. It isn't changing, so it's not up for debate.
The last name is two syllables and begins with an R.

Actually this is essentially how Kickstarter fundraising works, but admittedly on a much larger scale. The budget for the project a deadline for the money to be raised are set and anyyone can pledge money, but no one is actually charged unless the funding goal is reached. If it is, everyone's money is automatically debited; if not, the project has failed to meet its target and none of the backers lose out.
Now, this presupposes that merely raising the $50m will actually guarantee the film gets made - which it doesn't - but with a large number of small backers, the risk to each is limited. And when it's made they all get a free digital version of the finished product. The only guarantee of quality is whatever pre-production artwork and other information can be used to entice people to contribute.
Obviously backers that way are not traditional investors and don't get a share in profits. Instead they have rewards based on their contribution. $30 might get a DVD version of the completed film, $50 the blu-ray, $100 signed artwork, $1000 some set piece memorabilia, etc.
Do I think you can actually, workably scale this kind of idea up to the level of Hollywood film production? Probably not, but it's not entirely ridiculous either.

Sadly they felt stung by the move with lower sales than anticipated despite a sizeable marketing push unusual for a new IP. Meanwhile Dead Space (great but less interesting to me) is becoming a new gaming heavyweight franchise.
I absolutely view Mirror's Edge as a success and think there's plenty of room for strong sales with a sequel now that it has a recognizable name. It's not a game for everyone, but the exhilarating feeling of freedom in first person will be missed. For me the game only struggled in its closing levels when it started throwing too many enemies at the player so that fight (intentionally its most limited mechanic) overtook flight.

Or we could write "virii" and pronounce it like "viruses".
This surely meets both the basic requirements for a fusion language like English: it looks kinda cool on paper and totally confuses everyone by being nonsensical in application.
I think we can all agree this makes the [most/least] sense.

A ferret favorite
posted 7 years ago
I have all thumbs up for this product. I had one for the ferret cage and both ferrets adored it. It was easy to clip to the cage, easy to clean (toss it in the washer), and it made the ferrets happy. The only downside was that I found the ferrets were much less active when it was in the cage because they liked to spend all their time lounging!
Pros: comfortable, easily cleaned, ferrets like it, easy to hook to the cage
Cons: encourages ferrets to sleep all day

we had 2 ferrets who would sleep together in this all the time! They appear to love the hammock type nap sack! If I had ferrets, they would have 1 of these!
Pros: enjoyable for ferrets

Comments about Shark Pet Costume:
Got this costume for my sheltie for a dog park Halloween party. No, it doesn't fit or look like the picture, but it's still a shark costume, and that's what I was looking for. Basically, it looks like the dog's wearing a shark on her back, and not being consumed by or transformed into a shark, but hey... it's a dog costume.

AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo have issued an open letter to Washington calling on politicians to reform government surveillance worldwide.
The organizations have outlined five principles that they believe encapsulate and are consistent with "global norms of free expression and privacy" and "the goals of ensuring that government law enforcement and intelligence efforts are rule-bound, narrowly tailored, transparent, and subject to oversight".
The principles are:
1. Limiting Governments' Authority to Collect Users' Information. No bulk downloads of information. Codification of limitations on the ability to compel service providers to disclose data. Limiting surveillance to specific, known users for lawful purposes.
2. Oversight and Accountability. Executive powers to be subject to strong checks and balances and subject to review by independent courts and an adversarial process. Rulings of law should be made public in a timely manner.
3. Transparency About Government Demands. Companies should be able to publish the number and nature of government demands and governments should do so as well.
4. Respecting the Free Flow of Information. Data flow across borders should not be inhibited and service providers should not be required to locate infrastructure within a country.
5. Avoiding Conflicts Among Governments. Mutual legal assistance treaties to permit obtaining data across borders should be robust, principled and transparent and governments should resolve conflicts between their laws.
The Reform Government Surveillance website is here. Microsoft's General Counsel, Brad Smith, has a blog post here.

About The Cat Pack
- Birthday 07/14/1957
- Location Asheville, NC
- Favorite NFL Team Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers
- Most hated NFL Team Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys
- What you should know My name is Robert and I am fifty-two years old. I recently just started getting back into the NFL. I was a huge NFL fan back in the early sixties and sventies, and I was a huge Green Bay Packers fan and somewhat I still am. I kind of stopped watching the NFL over the years and I am trying to get back into it as we speak. I like the Panthers, I watch a few games on Sundays. But I love College Football and College Basketball, huge Hockey fan as well(GO CANES)! I don't typically use social websites, but I'll give this one a try I guess. When I am not on here I am usually on MLB.com looking at stats and checking out other Baseball games

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be visiting Jamshedpur on April 22 to participate in the centenary celebrations of Tata Steel, a statement from the company said on Saturday.
On his arrival at Jamshedpur, the Prime Minister will address a gathering at the JRD Sports Complex and launch a special postage stamp to mark the company's centenary year, it added.
"The Prime Minister's visit to Jamshedpur adds immense value to the centenary celebrations of Tata Steel. It serves as a motivator and moral booster for the company to continue striving for India's economic progress," Tata Steel's chief of corporate communications Sanjay Choudhry said.
He said the Prime Minister's visit would spur the company's goal of expanding its capacity from five million tonnes to 35 million tonnes annually— PTI

Contaminated Cheeses: We Need to Start Asking the Right Questions
16 Jan 13
The spectrum of Listeria monocytogenes, one of the most dangerous food contaminants, is back..
The French health authorities are currently recalling a number of products made by the Fromagerie de Jussac, mostly from French supermarket chains, because they may have been contaminated by Listeria monocytogenes.
Among the many possible food contaminations, Listeria is certainly one of the most dangerous. Many people fell sick in Austria between 2009 and 2010 after eating Quargel, an acidic fresh cheese made by Prolactal, contaminated with the bacteria. Seven of them died. So news of this new contamination, which was initially communicated by the French Agriculture Ministry's alert and then the European alert system, is definitely unwelcome. And while it's certainly good that the alarm system works in Europe, it is also worth reflecting a bit further. For example, asking if it makes sense for a medium-small dairy in the Auvergne (3 million liters of milk processed a year) to export cheeses to 12 other countries, including Italy. And, what's more, perfectly ordinary, industrial, fresh cheeses, hardly unique specialties. It's the market, sure: supply and demand, commercial aggressiveness, marketing, etc., etc., those things we know all about.
But is it the market that should dominate our societies or in the end should society regulate the market? And does it make sense for consumers in Italy, Austria, Germany and Spain, countries with a rich cheese-making tradition, to buy this banal imported cheese instead of looking for a similar local one, perhaps made from raw milk? Oh yes, let's not forget: The Fromagerie de Jussac uses only pasteurized milk, as does Prolactal. The deadly mascarpone that claimed so many victims in Italy a few years ago was also made from pasteurized milk. It is a fact worth remembering, because none of the reports on this latest contamination mention it. I wonder why?

Vak attack is a self admitted troll so its hard for me to take him seriously. If he is not trolling he is just being a homer (any subject related to iowa wrestling, florida, brett farve, dana white etc) or just lawyering the board. He obviously is a smart guy but i honestly cant tell if he has ever given us his real objective opinion.
Very similar to claudale in that he always has a bias against ufc, always props up judo, and despite being from jersey reps pennsylvania.

Would it be smart to buy an used 1989 dodge shadow for my first car? I haven't test driven it yet, but I don't want to waste my time. Could I find parts for it easily if it broke down? Or is it just too old for me to spend moeny on? It's 4000 and had 57,000 miles.
its not the best car but its far from the worst too. how many miles are on it? has the timing belt been changed? theres a reason you dont see too many of them on the road anymore! if you can get it cheap and drive it for a few months or even a year without putting too much money into it, its worth a shot.

Six volumes, quarto, original light cream pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and red, top edges gilt, others untrimmed, original red on pink illustrated card covers bound in. Fore and bottom page edges tanned; light yellowing to free endpapers from binding; very light spine yellowing; soft bruise to upper inner corner of front covers; volume I has neat professional repairs to inner hinges, rear joint, and spine ends, with light darkening at ends, gilt imprint a little flaked; volume VI has one very small brown spot on the spine; volume II has a hairline crack to front inner hinge neatly repaired; a fine set otherwise, no owner names or plates, the vulnerable white cloth remarkably clean. Edition of 1000 copies on handmade paper printed by Charles Whittingham of the Chiswick Press. 88 full- page woodcut illustrations (one double-page), 132 head and tailpieces, numerous woodcut initials, uniform illustration to front covers. Edited by the eminent book colllector, bibliographer, and forger Thomas J. Wise. A very handsome production of this great classic of late 16th century English literature, an epic poem, one of the longest in the language, and still never completed. Considered by many to be Walter Crane's best work in black & white, it was his most extensive commission as a book illustrator, taking three years to complete.

In a supplied dust jacket, which has two soft vertical ridges, else fine. Of special interest is the Ted Hughes contribution "Little Belated Whale-Song for Greg", of which Hughes has made a full-page ink fair copy, signed. In addition is the original ribbon copy typescript, titled "Little Whale - for Charles Causley", with Hughes' name in typescript. The poem has 32 lines in eight stanzas. It was typed on an old typewriter which has punched out the "o"s throughout, Folded thrice horizontally and twice vertically; VG. >> About the circumstances of getting the poem, Gatenby has written (copy of his email included): "Back in the late seventies or very early eighties I wrote to a number of UK poets asking them to write a poem about whales or dolphins that I could use n my forthcoming anthology Whales: A Celebration, By the time of the deadline, I had not heard from Ted Hughes and just assumed he wasnt interested. However, a few years later, Ted did accept my invitation to read at Harbourfront. Shortly after he arrived at the Harbour Castle Westin (where all of the authors at each years festival were accommodated) he asked me to go to his room with him as he had a little gift for me. Somewhat sheepishly he handed me the typescript of "Little Whale Song". I say "sheepishly" because he was clearly embarrassed as he explained that he had written the poem for me almost immediately after receiving my request. He told me he pinned the typescript over his desk because he felt sure he could improve upon it before sending it on to me. He told me the poem stared at him guiltily every day for months and months until, one day, he realized my deadline had passed. Then he told me that as he prepared to come to Toronto for my festival, he looked at the poem again and decided it was good as it was. As a small token of apology, he went on, he brought the typescript with him as a gift to me and by way of apology for not having sent it to me for use in my anthology. With the wisdom of hindsight I should have had him inscribe the page but the circumstances of his giving it to me did not allow me the luxury of asking for an autograph. Ted also apologized for the damaged condition of his old typewriter all of the letter "o" usages resulted in hollowed-out, tiny circles on the page. The poem was eventually published in his Wolfwatching (Faber, 1989) and has been republished many times on the web. I do not have that book at hand, so cannot tell you how much the Faber version varies from the typescript I own. However, its worth nothing that none of the online versions of the poem retain any of Teds line breaks - a rather crucial matter as far as poets are concerned." Greg Gatenby, besides editing this book, was the impresario behind Toronto's Harbourfront Reading Series and the International Festival of Authors, best festival of its kind in the world in its prime.

In top margin of first title page "Major Otter, with the author's compliments". In margin of second title page "Fred. W. Otter, Toronto, C.W. Private Fred. W. Otter, No. 4 Compy, QOR, Toronto". >>>Major Otter was William Dillon Otter (1843-1929), later Sir William and as a brigadier-general became the first Canadian-born Chief of the General Staff and head of the Canadian army. Frederick Watson Otter (1849-1869) was William Otter's younger brother. Otter "began his military career in the Non-Permanent Active Militia in Toronto in 1864. Captain William Otter was Adjutant of The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada in 1866. He first saw combat with them at the Battle of Ridgeway during the Fenian Raids. He joined the Permanent Force as an infantry officer when Canada established its own professional infantry unit in 1883. On May 2, 1885, he led a Canadian force of more than 300 in the Battle of Cut Knife against Poundmaker's Cree Indians. Otter's tactics were ineffective against the defending warriors, forcing him to retreat. In 1890, Otter founded the Royal Canadian Military Institute as a body for "the promotion and fostering of military art, science and literature in Canada." - Wikipedia. He was appointed the first Commanding Officer of the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry in 1893. During the Second Boer War Otter commanded the 2nd (Special Service) Battalion of The Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry, where they were considered by many British officers to be the best infantry battalion in the country. He became commander of Canada's military in 1908, and retired in 1910. He was the grandfather of distinguished Canadian historian Desmond Morton, who wrote a biography of him. His brother Fred joined the Number 4 Company of the QOR in 1865 as soon as he was eligible, winning his commission as an ensign in Sept., 1867. However, he died of consumption 21 Jan., 1869. Major (later Lieutenant-Colonel) George Taylor Denison (III) (1839-1925) was "educated at Upper Canada College. In 1861 he was called to the bar, and was from 1865-1867 a member of the city council. From the first he took a prominent part in the organization of the military forces of Canada, becoming a lieutenant-colonel in the active militia in 1866. He saw active service during the Fenian raids of 1866, and during the North-West Rebellion of 1885 (but no combat). Owing to his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Conservative ministry during the Red River Rebellion in 1869-70, he abandoned that party, and in 1872 unsuccessfully contested Algoma in the Liberal interest. Thereafter he remained free from party ties. In 1877 he was appointed police magistrate of Toronto. Colonel Denison was one of the founders of the Canada First movement, which did much to shape the national aspirations from 1870 to 1878, and was a consistent supporter of imperial federation and of preferential trade between Great Britain and her colonies." - Wikipedia. Denison was also rabidly anti-American and served the Confederate secret service as a spy during the war, which in effect blocked his advancement in the Canadian military. He kept a Yankee sword from the Fenian raids as a poker for his fire. >>>Denison commanded a company of volunteer cavalry at the Battle of Ridgeway, but saw no combat. He published his account of the battle in August, 1866. It was the first of the three books on the conflict published that summer and though deeply flawed for historical truth, it was the most truthful of the three. Because of questions about the conduct of the Canadian commanders (Alfred Booker at Ridgeway and John Stoughton Dennis at Ft. Erie), two official inquires were held, both headed by Denison. Though both colonels were exhonerated, there was a cover-up and the real truth about the battles that afternoon were not published until the PhD thesis of Peter Wronsky in 2011. >>>William Otter was a captain at the time of Ridgeway, serving as adjutant of the Queen's Own Rifles of Toronto under Major Charles T. Gillmor. It was his first taste of action. TPL 6209 states that there were at least three editions of Denison's HISTORY OF THE FENIAN RAID published in 1866, but I believe TPL is in error, that there was only one. Some library records call THE FENIAN RAID AT FORT ERIE (Chewett & Co.,1866) the second, or third, edition of Denison, but it is an entirely different book, "compiled by the publishers mainly from articles in the Globe, Leader, and Telegraph, Toronto, with notes and suggestions from eye-witnesses, and an appendix of official documents." - TPL 4497. The third item in this volume are official statements about claims being made against the United States by the Canadian government for expenses incurred because of the Civil War and (on pp 139 to end), the Fenian Raids. A TERRIFIC CANADIAN MILITARY ASSOCIATION COPY, an Otter family copy of two scarce books plus government report on the Fenian Raids.

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez may need a hip operation that would jeopardize his start to next season, ESPN.com reported Monday. Rodriguez, who struggled in the postseason, had surgery on his left hip in 2009. The New York Post first reported that Rodriguez may need a second surgery, but on his right hip. That operation might not happen until January, according to ESPN. It is not considered career threatening. Rodriguez went 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts in the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers and was eventually benched. The 37-year-old batted .272 this year with 18 home runs and 57 RBI in 122 games. His .783 OPS was its lowest since 1995. His previous hip surgery occurred shortly after he admitted taking performance enhancing drugs. He ended the season strong and helped the Yankees win the World Series. The Yankees may pursue depth in the infield in case Rodriguez has to miss time. Jayson Nix and Eduardo Nunez are among candidates on the roster who could fil...

The present study was undertaken to obtain insights into the productivity determinant traits of mulberry (Morus spp. L.), a potential bioenergy tree crop. Our objectives were to identify leaf functional traits and stem wood characteristics that are correlated to biomass yield of mulberry. Based on the growth performance, six mulberry genotypes from different performance groups including high (Selection1 and Thaibeelad), average (Mysore Local) and poor (Triploid10, Jhoropakari and Selection1635) were selected for the study, along with a reference high-yielding genotype (Victory1). The study was conducted in Southern India for two consecutive years, covering two experimental seasons including exp season I (July 2009 to October 2009) and exp season II (July 2010 to October 2010). Mulberry trees were cultivated in a short-rotation coppice system under well-irrigated optimum farming conditions. Data were collected on biomass yield along with several leaf-level physiobiochemical characteristics and wood quality parameters. Significant genetic variation was recorded amongst the genotypes in most of the studied parameters. Fifteen out of a total of 22 traits, used in computing correlation coefficient matrix, were found to correlate with aboveground biomass yield. Light-saturated rate of photosynthesis, performance index, leaf nitrogen content, minimum leaf water potential and leaf-specific hydraulic conductance showed strong positive correlation with biomass productivity. Wood density, wood cross-sectional area and fibre cell density exhibited tight correlation with woody biomass yield. In conclusion, the identified 15 characteristics could be useful in the selection of suitable mulberry genotypes for higher biomass yield.

The UNO Charter School Network (UCSN) was founded in 1998 by the United Neighborhood Organization (UNO), whose mission is to lead the transformation of the Hispanic Community toward an educated, powerful and prosperous citizenry by engaging and challenging it to redefine its potential and its legacy in metropolitan Chicago and the United States of America.
UCSN currently operates a network of 16 charter schools, serving close to 8,000 students and families throughout the city of Chicago. UCSN believes that all students can learn and deserve the opportunity to reach their potential. UCSN recognizes that the students and families served by its schools are the future stakeholders of America's democratic traditions and therefore offers them the opportunity to become model citizens and informed civic participants.
UCSN also believes that:
Parent partnerships are critical to our work.
Effective classroom instruction is the key lever for student success.
Students learn best in a structured, supportive, and intellectually stimulating environment.
Robust data should drive all of our decisions.
We are all accountable for the achievement of our students.
UCSN seeks to create a national model for education that proves not only that all students can learn, but also that education is the driving force that builds, improves, and empowers communities. UCSN challenges students, parents and faculty to reach the highest of academic standards.
With a rigorous and individualized approach we develop students who act with integrity and who are civically engaged, intellectually curious and prepared for success in high school and college. Academic Success is not a hope, but an expectation.
