The superintendent and her executive cabinet are pleased to recognize the following individuals for their outstanding work and contributions to our school district and community.
Community Partner of the Month: Salem Leadership Foundation
Our Community Partner of the Month of April is the Salem Leadership Foundation (pictured above). They were nominated by Grant Community School.
Grant Community School wants them to know how thankful they are for all that the Salem Leadership Foundation does for their students, the school and their community.
Salem Leadership Foundation has been a partner with the School District since its founding in 1996. One of the reasons SLF was established was to help churches partner better with neighborhood schools.
The Foundation's staff and strategic plan are organized around the six high-school feeder areas of Salem-Keizer. The goal is to help kids, families and neighborhoods thrive, Partnerships between schools and churches is a key strategy. Today there are more than 35 churches in productive partnerships with neighborhood schools.
SLF's partnerships started with Grant, Highland, Parrish and North through the work of Sam Skillern, who covers North Salem.
The first partnership was with Grant Community School and Salem Alliance Church in the fall of 1996 on a program called "Fantastic Fridays." That experimental program started a community movement through which many partners now bring after-school programming to more than half of Salem-Keizer's schools.
In addition, the Salem Leadership Foundation has donated funds for 10 guitars for Grant's guitar class, funds to extend the Grant School Learning Garden, support for the neighborhood health Fair, and provide leadership to parents and community members on how to access and engage schools.
The second partnership was with Highland School for Reading Buddies in fall of 1997. That program is still going strong today, with 25-30 volunteers reading on Thursday mornings with 50 first- and second-graders.
In the McKay area Carrie Maheu (may-hew) has connections with all of the schools, with a recent focus on Swegle, Washington, and Waldo through the Fostering Hope initiative.
In West Salem, Herm Boes has been a key part of the "Dream Center" partnership that West Salem Foursquare started at Walker Middle School, and now includes multiple programs and partners across West Salem.
In South Salem, DJ Vincent is the after-school coordinator at Leslie Middle School where he wears two hats: Salem Leadership Foundation and the Salem Keizer Education Foundation. He is also active in promoting partnerships at Morningside Elementary and other south-end schools.
Sam is also instrumental in bringing faith leaders together on a quarterly basis to meet with Superintendent Husk to discuss these community opportunities.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity to our students, our schools and the community.
Volunteer of the Month: Cristina Wheeler
Cristina Wheeler has been selected as the Volunteer of the Month for April. Kennedy Elementary staff state that they have been blessed to have the dedication of Cristina for over nine years.
Mrs. Wheeler has served as Parent Club President and as their #1 volunteer. Always cheerful and with boundless energy, she is there whenever and wherever they need her.
Cristina organizes and communicates with parents at regular Parent Club meetings. These meetings are effective for their community, as Cristina also speaks Spanish. Through Parent Club, funds have been raised to support field trips for every grade every year; to purchase Big Toy equipment for the playground; to purchase a TV for the front hall for community viewing; to support RIF program; and to purchase technology for students.
Cristina first came to help in the kindergarten classroom when her son started school. She returned again to help in the kindergarten classroom when her daughter started school. In addition, she has helped with second language Spanish students in writing, she volunteers to chaperone field trips, assists with 5th grade photography class every year: and leveled, organized and labeled an entire classroom library for another teacher.
Cristina has been a great help to the Office by volunteering for School Picture day and finding additional volunteers. She runs the Jog-a-thon and keeps track of student records, forms, notices, the money and prizes.
Cristina recruits and organizes volunteers for Field Day; she is also involved in the School Book fair. This year, with the loss of the school Librarian, she organized the Parent Club to run a successful Fair.
Kennedy staff thinks Cristina has been amazing!! She is leaving Kennedy this year, as her youngest daughter is moving up to middle school.
Thank you for your wonderful spirit of volunteering and dedication to the students of Salem-Keizer Schools.
Culinary Champs - South Salem High School's Culinary Team
South Salem High School's culinary team took home the state championship at the 2012 Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association's ProStart High School Culinary Championships held in Portland on February 18. This is their fifth championship win. The Saxon culinary team has more first place wins than any other Oregon school, and they have never finished out of the top ten! They also have two second place, two third place, one ninth place, and one 10th place, finishes.
The team is made up of members: Jessica Harris, Kayla Lane, Evelyn Romero, Ryan Toepfer and Griscelda Real. The team is led by South Salem High School teacher, Chef Todd Wieweck and mentors Krista Carpino and Chris Neuffer (who is solely responsible for bringing Todd to SSHS as a teacher!).
All the students are new to the team this year. This usually means placing out of the top three. Their winning menu featured a three-course meal. For the competition, the team had one hour to prepare two dishes of each course, one for the judges to taste and one for display. The menu has to be completed using only two small butane burners, and no electrical appliances or oven. Creating a menu that fits that criteria is very challenging as each item on the menu must be choreographed perfectly to get done on time using a very small amount of burner space.
The meal started with a serving of king crab on wonton towers filled with marinated tofu, served with sautéed shiitake mushrooms (pictured above).
The main course was a pan-seared Oregon Ling Cod atop griddled yellow fingerling potatoes, with shallots and bacon. The dish is completed with a beautiful and vibrant green sweet pea cream sauce (pictured above).
For dessert, a flourless chocolate cake infused with Tahitian vanilla bean, served with a crisp nougatine wafer and blood orange segments. The dessert is finished with pomegranate syrup and vanilla sauce (pictured above).
Each member of the team won a total of $48,500 in scholarship money at their state appearance.
They now head to Coos Bay where they will compete at the invitational there on April 13. The Saxon team has never lost this competition and has five first place finishes. If they continue this run, they will each receive another $4,000 in scholarship money!
Next stop for the team is a trip to Baltimore to represent Oregon at the national Prostart competition which will be held April 25 through 28. The Saxon team has finished in sixth place and 12th place in previous years. They are practicing furiously to try and place higher this year as scholarship money is only given to the first through fifth place teams.
Congratulations! We wish you well in Coos Bay and at Nationals!
World Beat Youth Art Winners
The Salem Multicultural Institute announced the winners of the World Beat Youth Art contest in March.
Three Salem-Keizer students received top honors:
Zoe Frey, an eigth grader from Whiteaker Middle School, received first place Individual K-8 Overall.
Aleigha Mattison, a junior at Sprague High School won first place Overall for High School.
Danielle Loscar, a senior at Sprague High School, received the Award of Excellence High School Artistic Merit.
The Sprague High School Art Department won the first place award for High School Art Classrooms in this year's contest. This award comes with a certificate and a classroom $200 Gift Certificate to the Art Department in downtown Salem.
Receiving Honorable Mention K-8 were Mateya Meredith, third grader at Chapman Hill Elementary and Haley Janssen, 8th grader at Whiteaker Middle School.
The students submitted artwork designed to answer the question "What the world beat means to me." All artwork will be displayed at the festival during the last weekend in June and on the World Beat Festival website.
Green Apple Award Goes to Sally White
Sally White, science teacher at Waldo Middle School, received the Green Apple Award at the 2012 Mid-Valley Green Awards held in March. The Green Apple Award category goes to an educator who leads in teaching environmental and/or sustainable curricula. The event is a fundraiser for the Straub Learning Center.
The Mid-Valley Green Awards had 22 nominees who were selected from a pool of businesses, individuals and organizations who demonstrate outstanding sustainability efforts and practices. Nine were honored with awards.
In 2004 Sally received a grant from Salem-Keizer Education Foundation to expand the garden at Waldo Middle School from twelve 3' x 3' plots to 1,500 square feet with fencing and drip irrigation. Since then the garden has been providing produce for the gardening students and their families.
In addition, Waldo obtained Green School status with the collaborative efforts of Sally, Marie Carver, Sarah Forbes and Casey Coleman.
Watt Watchers has been re-established at Waldo as has been bi-monthly collections of recyclables from classrooms and offices. Cardboard from the cafeteria is collected daily and used to suppress weeds and as a soil amendment. These activities are carried out by the garden students.
In the classroom, student projects are to be made from recycled goods, about 99 percent of all classroom printing is done on "one-side already used" paper and ink cartridges are shaken until the very last drop is used.
Many of these activities raise "teachable moment" questions from students who really are the reason for doing any of these activities.
Sally was honored for her efforts in making the school green, establishing the school garden and spiriting recycling efforts.

Lundqvist doubtful for Saturday's game vs. Detroit
Oct 25, 2013, 8:11 PM EDT
The good news is that Saturday's game against the Red Wings in Detroit represents the much-needed end to the New York Rangers' rotten nine-game season-opening road trip. The bad news is that Henrik Lundqvist is doubtful to play tomorrow, according to New York Newsday's Steve Zipay.
Lundqvist, 31, is struggling with an undisclosed injury that opened up the door for Cam Talbot's NHL debut on Thursday. The 26-year-old backup could go from facing a struggling Philadelphia Flyers offense to the often-dangerous Detroit attack.
While it's obvious the Rangers aren't playing well, Lundqvist is off to a rough start individually, too. He has an .890 save percentage and 3.45 GAA despite getting a shutout on Oct. 16.
Following the end of this road trip, the Rangers host Montreal on Monday, Oct. 28, visit the Islanders the next day and then play four games in a row and six of seven at home. Perhaps Lundqvist will be healthy enough for the Blueshirts to mop up some crucial points at MSG?
- barkar942 - Oct 25, 2013 at 9:55 PM
I am soooooo looking forward to their debut in Billion Dollar Garden.
Perhaps Dolan will be there, hear the angry crowd chanting stuff like Fire Slats…Fire AV…..Rangers SUCK (and they will hear that at home instead of at the Rock or in Nassau) and my favorite, WE WANT TORTS!
Should be a really fun homecoming!
- barkar942 - Oct 25, 2013 at 9:57 PM
Or, better yet- WE WANT TROTTIER!
- 950003cups - Oct 25, 2013 at 10:28 PM
Dolan won't be there. Anyone who's a ranger fan knows Dolan only cares about the Knicks. You can boo and chant till your faces match you jerseys. The next day, Ol Slats will call Jimmy tell him the crowd was chanting "we love Sather!!" And how the crowd is so excited about AV.
Sather could tell Dolan the Rangers won the cup last year and are undefeated this season, and Dolan will say "oh ok good, maybe I'll bring in Isiah to coach them"

Carroll sees early lead disappear in Game 1 softball loss to S.A. Johnson
CORPUS CHRISTI - Carroll's early two-run lead just wasn't enough against state-ranked San Antonio Johnson on Thursday night.
The seventh-ranked Jaguars used small-ball to rally for a 7-2 victory to take the opener of their Region IV-5A area softball playoff series at Cabaniss Field.
The Tigers (25-8) must now sweep the final two games of the series to advance to the third round of the playoffs for the first time since 2003.
Game 2 will be at 7 p.m. Friday at the San Antonio NEISD West Softball Field. Game 3, if needed, will be Saturday in Victoria.
Two of the three run-scoring hits by District 26-5A champion Johnson (25-6) during its pivotal three-run fourth inning didn't even leave the infield.
The Jaguars used a key bunt single, an infield single and some aggressive base running to take a 4-2 fourth-inning lead.
This after the Tigers -- who this season won their first playoff series since 2005 -- took a 2-0 lead into the third inning.
Lindsey Angelico's run-scoring bunt single, Brittany Muller's run-scoring infield single and Alex Yarbrough's RBI single highlighted Johnson's key fourth inning. Two Jaguars runners also alertly moved into scoring position following Angelico's bunt, which also proved to be important in that frame.
The Tigers also hurt themselves, as they made two of their four errors in the first three innings.
Johnson shortstop Muller later took a potential run-scoring hit away from Carroll by making a diving catch to her left on Alex Gonzalez's line drive with Jeannette Hernandez (who earlier walked) in scoring position to end the fifth inning.
Olga Zamarripa's two out, two-run single to right field earlier gave the Tigers a 2-0 first-inning lead. Zamarripa's clutch hit Jaylin Olivarez and Gonzalez, who both singled with one out in the frame.
Olivarez's hit snapped Jaguars freshman pitcher Caitlyn Colquhoun's streak of not allowing a hit in the postseason at 7.1 innings.
Brianna Stefanic pulled the Jaguars within 2-1 in the third inning on a two out, two-strike RBI single to left field. That eventually set up Johnson's big comeback, as the Jaguars later also tacked on three more runs in the sixth inning to help put it away.
Colquhoun (19-3) went the distance to get the win. She yielded three earned runs on five hits, walked two and struck out four. She allowed just one hit -- to Carroll's Camille Hopkins -- in the final five innings of play.
Carroll freshman pitcher Hannah Mayo (20-8) took the loss despite striking out six in her seven innings of work.
S. A. Johnson 001 303 0—7 13 0
Carroll 200 000 0—2 5 4
W -- Caitlyn Colquhoun (19-3). L -- Hannah Mayo (20-8). Highlights Carroll: Mayo 7 IP, 6 K's; Camille Hopkins 2-2; Jaylin Olivarez 1-3; Alex Gonzalez 1-3; Olga Zamarripa 1-3, 2 RBIs. S.A. Johnson: Colquhoun 7 IP, 5 H, 4 K's and 1-3; Hannah Boring 2-2, RBI; Alex Yarbrough 2-3, RBI; Taylor Drury 2-3, RBI; Brianna Stefanic 2-4, RBI.

KANSAS CITY, MO - SEPTEMBER 20: Darren McFadden #20 of the Oakland Raiders runs up the middle as Ron Edwards #95 of the Kansas City Chiefs defends during the game at Arrowhead Stadium on September 20, 2009 in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
Coach Ron Rivera says the Panthers have placed starting defensive tackle Ron Edwards on injured reserve with a dislocated left elbow and running back Jonathan Stewart could miss some time with a high ankle sprain. Both players were injured in Carolina's 30-22 win over Philadelphia on Monday night. Edwards, a 12-year NFL veteran, started all 11 games for the Panthers this season and has 14 tackles and one sack. His statistics don't are not an indication of his full value to the Panthers. He often commands double-team blocks in the middle. Carolina signed defensive tackle Frank Kearse from the practice squad, but Rivera wouldn't say who'll start in Edwards' spot this Sunday at Kansas City. Rivera says DeAngelo Williams will start at running back if Stewart is unable to play.

'The Letter' 1940, with Bette Davis 'The Letter' 1940 movie: Bette Davis superb in masterful studio era production Directed by William Wyler and adapted by Howard Koch from W. Somerset Maugham's 1927 play, The Letter is one of the very best films made during the Golden Age of the Hollywood studios. Wyler's unsparing, tough-as-nails handling of the potentially melodramatic proceedings; Bette Davis' complex portrayal of a passionate woman who also happens to be a self-absorbed, calculating murderess; and Tony Gaudio's atmospheric black-and-white cinematography are only a few of the flawless elements found in this classic tale of deceit. 'The Letter': 'U' for 'Unfaithful' The Letter begins in the dark of night, as a series of gunshots are heard in a Malayan rubber plantation. Leslie Crosbie (Bette Davis) walks out the door of her house firing shots at (barely seen on camera) local playboy Jeff Hammond, who falls dead on the ground. »

Another Oscars season, and Christopher Nolan is overlooked again. With Interstellar getting a mixed reaction, we look at the Nolan backlash.
This article contains a spoiler for the ending of Interstellar.
In case you missed it, the Oscars were this past weekend and Birdman was the big winner. The Academy's choice to award Alejandro González Iñárritu's fever dream was a genuine shock, with Boyhood the running favourite for many months. Nonetheless, some things never change, and in that vein it's certainly a non-surprise the Academy also hardly noticed the most ambitious blockbuster of 2014: the Christopher Nolan space epic, Interstellar. Indeed, I use the phrase "non-surprise", because how could it be a winner when it was only nominated for the bare minimum of five Oscars in technical categories that are reserved as consolation prizes?
This is by all means par for the course with a film that has »

Editor's Note: RogerEbert.com is proud to reprint Roger Ebert's 1978 entry from the Encyclopedia Britannica publication "The Great Ideas Today," part of "The Great Books of the Western World." Reprinted with permission from The Great Ideas Today ©1978 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.
It's a measure of how completely the Internet has transformed communication that I need to explain, for the benefit of some younger readers, what encyclopedias were: bound editions summing up all available knowledge, delivered to one's home in handsome bound editions. The "Great Books" series zeroed in on books about history, poetry, natural science, math and other fields of study; the "Great Ideas" series was meant to tie all the ideas together, and that was the mission given to Roger when he undertook this piece about film.
Given the venue he was writing for, it's probably wisest to look at Roger's long, wide-ranging piece as a snapshot of the »

I love movie and television soundtracks. I'll often use a given soundtrack while I work, letting it fuel my writing. I can't listen to music with lyrics in them; that interferes with my process. I'll get themes, characters, even scenes or whole plots from the music. Soundtrack music is in service of the story that the film is trying to tell; it's a part of the narrative, heightening the emotion that's being invoked.
I have my own particular favorites. The composers usually have a large body of work but certain key works resonate within me – Jerry Goldsmith's Chinatown and Patton, James Horner with Field of Dreams, Shaun Davey's Waking Ned Devine, Elmer Bernstein's To Kill A Mockingbird (has there ever been a more beautiful and evocative theme?) and, of course, The Magnificent Seven.
I've also been very fond of Alan Silvestri »

John Steinbeck's "In Dubious Battle," which has never been made into a movie before, is the next classic novel to hit the big screen courtesy of James Franco. The actor-turned-director will star and helm the adaptation, which was scripted by Matt Rager, his collaborator on his two Faulkner features, As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury. Franco has quite an ensemble joining him in front of the camera this time around, too, including Bryan Cranston, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Vincent D'Onofrio, Danny McBride and Selena Gomez. McBride is the only one of them he's directed before (in both Faulkners), and he's only acted opposite McBride, Gomez and Harris, the last in the upcoming movie The Adderall Diaries. Published in 1936, the book features another signature Depression-era story of migrant workers from the author of "The Grapes of Wrath" and "Of Mice and Men," and it happens to be among President Obama's »

"The book was better." These words make up the classic phrase that literary adaptations live and die by, and believe it or not, it's not always the truth. Sometimes the movie takes the story that the book tried to tell, and turns it into a more fully formed tale that the author can't help but respect. It happened when John Steinbeck admitted that The Grapes Of Wrath was a much darker story on the screen than on the page, and it more recently happened when Stephen King's The Mist was given an ending that even the king of horror had to admit worked perfectly. Of course, there are also the ones that don't get what the book was trying to say. For every adaptation of The Mist, there's a disastrous adaptation of Timeline waiting to take its place. For now, though, we'll remain optimistic about these upcoming projects. After all, »

An institutional review board (IRB) is an independent committee
made up of medical and nonmedical members, such as physicians, statisticians,
and community advocates. It ensures that a clinical trial is ethical and that
the rights of study participants are protected.
All institutions that conduct or support biomedical research
involving people, by U.S. government regulation, must have an IRB that
initially approves and periodically reviews the research.
An IRB reviews and approves protocols, informed-consent forms,
physician credentials and eligibility, and other patient materials. The role of
an IRB is to work closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
make sure that patient safety is the main priority of a clinical trial.

Led by a priest from Turin, Italy, a pilgrimage of 250 Italian jugglers asked Pope John Paul II to give them a patron saint. Silvio Mantelli, wearing a clerical collar and cone-shaped magician's hat, handed the pope a magic wand and asked him to declare St. John Bosco, a 19th century Italian priest and educator who also dabbled in sleight-of-hand, their patron saint. Bosco is already the patron saint of students and editors. The magician-pilgrims are members of a group that raises money for impoverished children and prays for world peace and serenity.

The game between the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Texas A&M Aggies was halted in the seventh inning Thursday night game due to weather.
Lightning forced the game to go into a delay at 8:36 p.m. and rain forced the game to be suspended until today. The No. 20 Bulldogs lead 4-1 in the top of the seventh inning and will resume today at 5 p.m.
MSU and Texas A&M will play game two of the Southeastern Conference following the conclusion of game one around 6:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs stormed out to an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Gavin Collins had a two-run single and he scored on a wild pitch for the third and final run in the frame. The Lake Forest, Calif., native is 11-for-27 with nine runs batted in for the last eight games.

Kanye West Toasts Himself at VMAs With New Song, 'Runaway'
"I always find something wrong / You've been putting up with my s**t for too long," he sang, before launching into a chorus that included the lines: "Let's have a toast to the douchebags / Let's have a toast to the a**holes." WATCH:
West took the stage at the end of the night, after Swift performed her own song. That one, 'Still an Innocent,' was actually about West, though it was not an attack on him.
Swift's song is being described as an olive branch to her former nemesis. "Everyone of us has messed up, too ... I hope you remember today is never too late to be brand new."
The 20-year-old's song, which began with a video montage of last year's debacle, came off more like a lecture than a lashing.
"Thirty-two and still growing up now / Who you are is not what you did," she sang both seriously and softly, adding: "You're still an innocent."
Their equally emotional performances seemed to provide resolution to the incident, while overshadowing the show's other moments, including Lady Gaga's eight VMA wins.

But then @Dennis he is not a leopard....he's a human being! We need to be understanding of one thing and one thing only if you be without fault cast the first stone! I really do not understand why he did it and I could not like it anymore than you. But he is at least saying he was "Wrong" in so many ways. I do not trust Kanye West, but I can a least understand what could have been going on in is head. Just plain old "Vanity!"
- Monday 13 SeptemberBy mary
Vanessa... The ONLY reason he's saying he was "wrong" is because his career got flushed down the toilet by his actions last year. Not only is he a loser, he has NO TALENT!

Are you out of your ignorant mind?!!! Anyone who thinks that stupid moron, Kanye West is a genius, NEEDS to be put into a straight jacket! You are the most ignorant azzhole, douche bag that ever existed, along with Kanye, the low life creep!

Oh ya, Kanye is a Musical Genius. What a laugh. If it wasn't for twits like you he'd be cleaning toilets. I can cuss and use crap words, does that make me a superstar? Hardly! The only reason a joke like Kanye is still around is that no one has the courage to say that Rap is Crap!

I find it truly pitiful that some singers are proud they can say nasty words in a song. It is even more pitiful that some song writers are so limited they can only think of nasty words to write a song with.
- Monday 13 SeptemberBy patrick
Yes its nothing like the music of the 60's 70's and even early 80's and I'm only 30 yrs old, but that said, I'm proud of both Kanye and Swift. Kanye had an epiphany and realized that his personality really sucks! and is not cute at all! All along people were really laughing at him and not with him. Swift put Kanye in his place so elegantly and really was the "bigger " person , by not adding fuel to the fire and making a bad situation worse.

With a month left in the campaign, I ask one of Rahm's top aides about Dean, and she explodes. "He's so frustrating. I just don't like him, anyway. I haven't liked him from the beginning. It's totally bizarre dealing with him.
She goes on, "It's not just that we only got $2.4 million, but we're also supposed to not say mean things about Howard Dean. And Rahm's supposed to act like everything's wonderful." After the showdown in May, the two men didn't speak until election night.
The division was not only tactical but also ideological. Since 2004 the Democratic party has divided into two warring camps, the Deaniacs and the Clintonites. On one side are Dean, the state parties, various liberal bloggers, and antiwar activists. They see the Clinton years as a wasted era in which party institutions withered and a White House obsessively focused on winning the next news cycle sold out the traditional values of the Democratic Party and ultimately delivered Congress to the Republicans. On the other side are Rahm and the Clintonites, who strongly believe that the only future for the party is to hew to the ideological middle and are bewildered that the Clinton legacy, successful both in terms of politics (two presidential wins) and results (peace and prosperity), is being second-guessed by their own side.
Last summer Rahm authored a book with Bruce Reed, Clinton's top domestic-policy adviser and now president of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council—the source of much evil, according to Deaniacs—that laid out an agenda for Democrats that includes free trade, small steps to increase the number of people with health insurance, and some worthy political-process reforms. When I ask Rahm about the criticism that the book's ideas are too incremental, too stuck in the '90s version of Clintonism, he angrily interrupts, "Oh, you mean the period in time when there was the first Democrat president to get reelected since Franklin Delano Roosevelt? That period of time?"
As this campaign took shape, it became clear that the election was going to be a referendum not just on Bush but also on this schism among the Democrats. Rahm installed his three closest friends from the Clinton era—Carville, political adviser Paul Begala, and pollster Stan Greenberg—as a strategic brain trust, and throughout the campaign he leaned heavily on Clinton for help. "We spoke often, usually once or twice a week," Bill Clinton told me via e-mail. "Early on, Rahm asked me to do a number of fund-raising and campaign appearances. As the campaign developed, he asked me to do more. I know I did every event he requested." Rahm also dispatched his former boss to trouble spots and enlisted him to recruit reluctant candidates, like North Carolina's Heath Shuler. And Rahm says Clinton often knew the individual districts better than he did. "When we wanted him to go to Cincinnati," Rahm tells me, "he calls and says, 'Are you sure you want me in Cincinnati, given the white ethnic community?' Don't [expletive] with that guy. He knows his numbers. He knows where he plays and where he doesn't play."
Click Here to Read the Full Story on GQ.com!
When I ask whether the wounds from '94 have something to do with Clinton's enthusiasm to help, Rahm once again gives me the [expletive]-idiot look. "I think that had something to do with his interest and energy," he says sarcastically, and then he adds, "There is no doubt. This is payback time."

Leaders in Business: 07.01.07
Robert Quintero
Owner: Memphis Copy & Print
Address: 5922 S. Staples St.
Phone: 992-COPY (2679)
Company description: copying and printing services, banners, promotional products, silk-screen and embroidery
Hometown: Corpus Christi
Years in business: 5
Tenure in position: 3 years
Education: 1992 graduate of Robstown High School, bachelor's degree in exercise physiology from St. Mary's University, San Antonio
First job: Fry cook at Long John Silver's when I was 18 years old. I did everything from sweeping to frying. It was OK. If I learned how to do anything, it was how to fry food.
Biggest career break: When I was fired from a job as a director of operations in 2000. It gave me the opportunity to learn a little bit about how businesses operate. I was with them about six months before the doors opened, so I learned a lot about starting up a business. I also learned salesmanship and how to sell a product that people didn't know and, therefore, didn't fully trust.
Business turning point: When we opened the storefront in 2005. Before that we were working out of our home. We had two copiers in our living room while my cash register and binding equipment was in our dining room. They covered the entire dining room table. We used a spare room for copy paper and design work was handled throughout the house. Opening up the storefront allowed us more space and to have clients come to the store. It also gave us visibility in a high-traveled part of town.
Business philosophy: We produce our product the way we would like others to produce our products. If someone wants a business card design or a logo creation, we put as much time and effort into it as if it was going to be our own card or creation. We also make suggestions or ideas to improve a customer's idea so they get the maximum benefit and use from it.
How would you improve Corpus Christi's business climate?: I would encourage residents to take advantage of the small- or medium-sized locally owned businesses. The quality is almost the same, if not better, than the bigger guys. As far as price-shopping goes, we're right in line if not below what others charge. The quality they'll receive from smaller businesses is bar-none the best because all we want to do is please the customers so we get repeat customers and referrals. When checking the status of a project, it's easier to get ahold of smaller businesses because we don't have dozens of employees you have to get through. The money stays here. Big businesses send their money to their corporate offices. We, in turn, take our business to other locally owned businesses in the area. It does a lot to promote the local economy.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." – Margaret Mead ————— The most important draft in Browns history; the most important draft party in Browns history. It's the peak of the Cleveland sports season and there's no better way to seize the momentum than at the Cleveland Frowns NFL Draft Party at Gillespie's Map Room on West 9th downtown, starting at 5:30 PM and lasting through the draft's first round on Thursday, April 26. Last year's party went so well that we've dispensed with the formal contracts this time around. All we know for sure is that Regi said Jim Beam is sponsoring (which means they have to do better than the $4 Beam special we got last time around), domestic drafts will be $2, and that there will be free (award-winning) pizza and appetizers again (nobody left hungry last year). We'll be there for the whole thing, of course, and most responsible in-town commenters have alre

will the speck candyshell work on the iphone 4 dock
- Asked by Anthony P from Las Vegas
Apple iPhone 4 Dock
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
No, because the Speck Candyshell is way to thick to fit into it, the Apple iPhone 4 Dock is made for the iPhone 4's thickness and that only, it can also fit the iPhone 4S.
- Answered by Diana J from Newport Beach
So far... no shell/case will allow you to place your iPhone4 on the dock. You have to remove any case from the iPhone before docking it. Maybe you want to try using a Universal Dock with a bigger adapter.
- Answered by Juan A from Guatemala
Speck now has a hard shell case that flips open at the bottom so that you can dock your iPhone 4S. I got mine at the Verizon store and it's great! Not sure if it fits the iPhone 4 but you could check it out.

Situational Hitting is Stupid
Rik Smits was at Marist College while I was growing up. We had season tickets and watched him from when he was a freshman til he left. And every single story you ever heard from people who talked to him was about what a good dude he was.
I still rooted for him when he was on the Pacers - it was the rest of the team that I actively rooted against. And the Larry Johnson call was the correct call!!

Back to the world of reality I do remember when i had you guys over for the tournament you got lucky and drew Torzewski as a teammate. I think I drew a kid that was as bad at basketball as he was at baseball. Factor in I am a pretty bad basketball player and it was a quick tournament for me.
"As a sidebar to a story several years ago on the technology the NBA uses to monitor its refs, Kersey told me how he instantly knew he'd blown the call that gave Larry Johnson his famous four-point play and the Knicks an Eastern Conference Finals game victory over the Pacers. He walked the 20 blocks from Madison Square Garden to his hotel, he didn't sleep that night and the memory is a splinter forever imbedded in his conscience. "
Actually I was joking - but lets not forget the Knicks got hosed twice in the 90s by the refs too. The Miami series where they were about to win it until they had their whole team suspended for games 6 and 7, and the Bulls series where Charles Smith was mugged (although he still should have made at least one of the 700 put backs he had!!)

As a Pacer season ticket holder from 1990-2003, I can tell you there was nothing more exciting than the rivalries between the Knick's & Bull's. Market Square Arena was the most intense place to play in...kinda like old time Indiana high school basketball atmosphere!!!
During one part of the show....a NY commentator mentioned the NBA does not have anything like a Pacers vs. Knicks anymore....I couldn't agree more!
BTW... I hope Cleveland just kicks the livin' shat out of the Lackers this year!!!
Cincy Reds--Playoff's or bust!!
Being from Indiana, and growing up in the 90's i always loved when the Pacers played the Knicks and Bulls. You knew you were always in for a great game. I take it this was a good documentary though? I wont get to see it till Wed night when they show it on AFN over here, but I'm looking forward to it.
As I was watching this doc, I kept thinking the same thing. LeBron HAS to go to New York. As NBA fans, we need the Knicks and the Garden to be relevant again. What an awesome crowd. They are without a doubt the best fans in the NBA.

The U.N. Security Council held closed-door consultations at the request of Russia, and Ambassador Vitaly Churkin later accused one country of foot-dragging, implying it was the U.S.
Germany's foreign minister was also headed to the region for talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. On Tuesday, Turkey's foreign minister and a delegation of Arab League foreign ministers were to visit Gaza.
Hamas, an offshoot of the region-wide Muslim Brotherhood, is negotiating from a stronger position than four years ago, when Israel launched a three-week war on the militants in Gaza. At that time, Hamas was internationally isolated; now, the Muslim Brotherhood is in power in Egypt and Tunisia, and Hamas is also getting political support from Qatar and Turkey.
President Barack Obama and other Western leaders have blamed Hamas for the latest outbreak of fighting, saying Israel has a right to defend itself against rocket attacks. However, they have also warned Israel against sending ground troops into Gaza, a move that would likely lead to a sharp increase in the Gaza death toll.
Over the years, Israeli governments have struggled to come up with an effective policy toward Hamas, which is deeply rooted in Gaza, a densely populated territory of 1.6 million.
Neither Israel's economic blockade of the territory nor bruising military strikes have cowed the Islamists, weakened their grip on Gaza or their ability to fire rockets at the Jewish state.
Instead, the two sides have observed informal cease-fires over the years, interrupted by flare-ups of violence.
Hamas has fired more than 1,000 rockets at Israel since the start of the latest offensive on Wednesday, kicked off by Israel's assassination of the Hamas military chief.
Of the 95 rockets fired Monday, 29 of them intercepted by Israel's U.S.-financed Iron Dome anti-missile battery, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Rockets landed in open areas of the southern cities of Beersheba, Ashdod and Ashkelon, and caused damage in a number of areas, including an empty school building in Ashkelon.
In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike on a high-rise building in Gaza City killed Ramez Harb, a senior figure in Islamic Jihad's military wing, the Al Quds Brigades, the group said. Israel said the target was a command center for the group. A number of foreign and local news organizations have offices in the building, which was also struck on Sunday. A passer-by, a carpenter from Gaza's tiny Christian community, was also killed, medics said.
And in central Gaza, four militants were killed in two separate strikes. In the air raid past midnight, Israeli aircraft struck the Islamic National Bank used to pay Hamas employees.
In the West Bank, Palestinian stone throwers protesting against Israel's Gaza campaign clashed with Israeli soldiers in several locations Monday. In the city of Hebron, a 22-year-old man was killed by army fire and three other protesters were injured, doctors said. The army said soldiers opened fire after a masked man approached them and failed to stop.
Associated Press writers Mohammed Daraghmeh and Dalia Nammari in Ramallah, West Bank, and Peter Spielmann at the United Nations contributed reporting.

Comments about Proclear 1 Day 90 Pack:
Been using these contacts for the last 3 years and I got nothing bad to say about them! They work very well indoors especailly in an air conditioned or heated offices. They never dry out, very easy to put on and don't pop out when doing sports activities. No cleaning or storing required at the end of the day, just throw them out.Have used other brands and 2 week and monthly contacts but nothing beats daily contacts that are soft and don't required eye drops to keep them moist. Haven't found anything else are better than these!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

One quality of the Chinese that I admire and loathe in equal measure is their laissez-faire relationship with the word "No".
I sometimes think that the only dead ends they truly take as non-negotiable are the laws of physics and death.
A "No" based on anything else – rules, morality, serious physical harm to others – is just a momentary obstacle that can be eroded, if not surmounted, by will and creativity.
A few months ago, I was in daily contact with the relatives of Chinese passengers on board the ill-fated and still missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. They set up a Wechat message group with journalists to better communicate with the horde of international media.
Wechat is like the Chinese WhatsApp and owned by Internet giant Tencent which also employs news reporters to write for its online portals. There is a limit to how many people can be in one message group. This one rapidly reached it.
"It's full and other journalists can't get in," texted one reporter. Then he asked: "Where is the Tencent reporter? Lift the limit for the group."
The Tencent reporter revealed herself and said, amazingly, "OK, hang on, I'll go ask my boss."
Half an hour later, it was done. The message group was now limitless.
This minor incident left a big mark on me. Things would just never have played out this way almost anywhere else, including and especially Singapore.
We have internalised too many assumptions of the modern state – that exceptions delegitimise the system, that you should work within the OB markers – to have ever made the mental association that linked "the group is full" to "now it's limitless".
There are no written contracts that the Chinese won't try to reinterpret, no rules that can't be followed only in letter but not in spirit.
The Pizza Huts here once had a rule where you could go to the salad bar only once to minimise food wastage. Chinese teenagers responded: "Challenge Accepted".
The intricate, multi-level salad towers they created with their one shot – thousand island dressing holding the layers together, ergonomically placed carrot slices – were a mockery, but also kind of a triumph of the human spirit.
Of course, the same system-gaming pathology also produced toxic milk powder and tofu buildings that collapsed on schoolchildren in earthquakes. The greatest gift is the greatest curse.
In my mind, this quality is fuelled by their deep cynicism with the system. The opacity of their institutions, the reality that at the highest levels, the rules are arbitrarily and hierarchically applied.
In contrast, Singaporeans are largely rule-abiding because there is a faith, however grudging, that the system is what it says it is and the law treats everyone more or less equally.
Maybe the Chinese have an innate sense of grandiosity and assurance about their civilisation and their place in the world, century of humiliation or not, while Singapore's narrative emphasises the powerlessness of a tiny island caught in the world's crosshairs. We are price-takers, acted upon – not actors.
This may be true on a national scale. But in our everyday lives, we can emulate some of this reflexive rejection of the word No.
If you have a friend or a boss who denies you too much, if you are in a job or relationship that isn't fulfilling your needs, if you are just being bullied in a way that makes you resentful – just say No. The truth is that the worst that could happen – which is "No" – has already happened.
That's the thing that sustains the Chinese in their quest to overcome "No" – when their ridiculous attempts to get around the rules are rejected, they take it casually in stride. They're just always testing the system for loopholes, and if they come up empty-handed, it's just as well – no harm, no foul. It was worth a shot. — The Straits Times

What an unbelievably dull story.
In other news somebody dropped their mobile phone and a random stranger picked it up and returned it to them.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 08:58
If you think media outlets show stories about those things I mentioned for our own good, you belong in a rubber-room.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 09:10
If you go around life assuming you interpret things wrong, you'll probably wind up pretty lonely.
I'm not saying the media shows us things to protect us. They don't care about us, but they know what people read. What I'm saying is, at least when we do read this stuff, we can learn from other's mistakes. For example, the Jill Meagher case here in Australia has gained unprecedented attention across this country, and as far as we are lead to believe, Ireland.
She was unfortunately raped and murdered just minutes from her home. The case just pulled on the heartstrings of a massive amount of people.
Aside from all the emotion. The big lesson is to not walk alone at night, especially females. Always have someone with you, even if it's only a few minutes up the road.
Posted 02 October 2012 - 09:48
idk wtf you're on about. You talked about the requirement in society to be constantly reminded by the media that ****ty things do happen, lest we become complacent. I thought that was a naive thing to say. They show such things because they know we will watch it, which in turn raises their revenue. It isn't as community service. I'd argue it is a detriment to society to be bombarded by the 24 hour news cycle because it creates unnecessary levels of anxiety and suspicion among people.
As far as the Meagher case goes: the big lesson there was that it's unfortunately true that horrible things do happen, but they are relatively rare and aren't indicative of everyday life. The lesson wasn't "hey folks, especially you women, fear society". If you think that way, it is you who will wind up very lonely in life.
Posted 03 October 2012 - 14:57
Bull ****. Believe what you want. If people didn't see the horrible **** happening around them, they would indeed get complacent.
Clearly your opinion differs, so there's little point making an argument about it.
Posted 04 October 2012 - 00:18
So, because your opinion and mine differ, you refuse to engage in discussion? I consider that intellectual cowadice.

A little about me
I've been a REALTOR for over 20 years now and during my career I have been licensed in Colorado, Kansas and Hawaii. During my career, I have been personally involved in over 1,500 transactions and take a great amount of pride in the fact that I've been a trusted and vital part of each of those transactions.
After vacationing in Hawaii for several years, our family decided to move from Kansas to Oahu and to live in paradise and we have never looked back! We currently live in the Ko Olina Resort and Marina, which offers some of the most peaceful beaches on the island with world class amenities and is only 3 miles from Kapolei and 20 miles from Honolulu. 5 star resorts, a championship golf course and miles of walking trails along the 4 protected lagoons take our breath away every day. Top it all off with the most beautiful marina in Hawaii to enjoy sailing, fishing, snorkeling and diving and you have "paradise found".
When I'm not working with clients, I love to explore with my wife, Victoria and our 11 year old son, John. We enjoy taking our boat out for adventures, exploring the islands, hiking around some of the great trails on Oahu, adding to my weblog, KapoleiToday or just enjoying old friends and making new ones.

After fifteen years at the forefront of human rights advocacy, Ariel Dulitzky has joined the University of Texas as Visiting Professor in Law and Latin American Studies and Associate Director of the Audre and Bernard Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice.
"I am very excited about the wealth of experience and energy that Ariel brings to the Rapoport Center, and am enormously grateful to the Law School and the Lozano Long Institute for Latin American Studies for collaborating to bring him here," said Karen Engle, the Cecil D. Redford Professor in Law and director of the Rapoport Center. "As one of the top lawyers in his field, Ariel's addition to the Center is certain to expand both our depth and breadth, and help us accomplish our goal of becoming the premier institution in the world for the study of human rights and Latin America."
In his most recent position, Dulitzky was assistant executive secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which is an autonomous arm of the Organization of American States. There, he led the preparation of reports concerning human rights and the rule of law within the thirty-five OAS member countries, drafted special reports on particular rights topics, and acted as technical advisor to the OAS Working Group that is discussing the adoption of a new inter-American convention against racial discrimination. He supervised a team of about twenty-five attorneys that dealt with a docket of more than a thousand claims of human rights abuses brought to the Commission, and directed the litigation of more than seventy cases in front of the Inter-American Court on Human Rights.
Dulitzky grew up in Argentina during the period of military dictatorship known as the "dirty war," a conflict characterized by widespread human rights abuses and the deaths of an estimated 30,000 persons who were perceived as opponents of the ruling junta. Two of his mother's cousins were among the desaparecidos of Argentina—those who were kidnapped and never heard from again. He entered the University of Buenos Aires School of Law, where he became editor of the law review as democracy was returning to the country.
"It was a time when we thought deeply about what human rights really meant and how to promote and protect them through legal and political action," Dulitzky recalled. "I was fortunate as a law student to have some great professors who helped me and many classmates to become human rights advocates and practitioners. Now, I hope to help train the new generation of human rights advocates in the United States."
To do that, he intends not only to provide strong classroom instruction but also to create expanded opportunities for practical experience for students, and for research, scholarship, and collaboration among faculty members. For example, he sees openings for student and faculty involvement in at least two of the projects he's working on—the drafting of the new OAS convention against racial discrimination, and a large multi-university project to train judges, prosecutors, and public defenders throughout Latin America in human rights law.
Earlier this year Harvard Law School, from which Dulitzky earned an LLM in 1999, honored him with its Gary Bellow Public Service Award, for "inspirational commitment to public interest work and an innovative approach to lawyering in the interest of promoting justice." After attending Harvard he directed Latin American programs at the International Human Rights Law Group (now known as Global Rights), which assists local activists in challenging injustice, and he served as co-executive director of the Center for Justice and International Law, the largest nongovernmental organization dedicated to the implementation of human rights norms in Latin America.
He is teaching a fall course, Human Rights in Latin America, and a spring one, Advanced Human Rights Advocacy, both cross-listed with the Law School and Latin American Studies. "I am very impressed with the students from what I have seen so far, and very pleased with the faculty's interest in collaboration with human rights initiatives. I hope that through the Rapoport Center's different projects we will make a real difference in the world, and transform the University of Texas into one of the best places to learn the practice of human rights law."
He is married to Denise Gilman, a clinical professor at the Law School who teaches in the Immigration Clinic.
