Interesting lighting
As a documentary photographer, sometimes I end up making photographs in some very unusual lighting. Last Saturday night during the rail jam at Mission Ridge was one example. The organizers had the normal lights that are set up for skiing on the course but they also brought in two portable lighting units to intensify the light. I appreciated the extra light "volume" but it made for some difficult situations. I had to be careful of what I was shooting and from where.
If I got into a certain spot where the subjects were lit from the back and the snow "popped" from the background, I had a small angle of opportunity to make the photograph before the subject would be directly in front of the light bank, rendering the picture unusable. Here is an example.
But the advantages of that crisp outline of the back-lighted trick made up for the inconvenience. Even with the additional light, I had to shoot at a high ISO setting to stop the action but with quality cameras, pixelation didn't seem to be much of a factor.
There were quite a few accidents and I was fortunate to get one of them in pretty good focus. (A little movement blur is seen).
These are some that weren't published. The first, I didn't like because the background was cluttered with advertisements and another photographer.
This didn't work just because he was wearing black - against a black background.
I did like this one quite a bit where he loses a ski but it was redundant with the other crash photo.
And this closeup of snow coming off a board would have been nice but we lacked the publication space to use it.
I've found that most of the time when there are lighting challenges there are lighting rewards.

Herrn Martin Schulse Schloss Rantzenburg Munich, Germany
My Dear Martin:
Back in Germany! How I envy you! Although I have not seen it since my school days, the spell of Unter den Linden is still strong upon me -- the breadth of intellectual freedom, the discussions, the music, the lighthearted comradeship. And now the old Junker spirit, the Prussian arrogance and militarism are gone. You go to a democratic Germany, a land with a deep culture and the beginnings of a fine political freedom. It will be a good life. Your new address is impressive and I rejoice that the crossing was so pleasant for Elsa and the young sprouts.
As for me, I am not so happy. Sunday morning finds me a lonely bachelor without aim. My Sunday home is now transported over the wide seas. The big old house on the hill -- your welcome that said the day was not complete until we were together again! And our dear jolly Elsa, coming out beaming, grasping my hand and shouting ''Max, Max!'' and hurrying indoors to open my favorite Schnapps. The fine boys, too, especially your handsome young Heinrich; he will be a grown man before I set eyes upon him again.
And dinner -- shall I evermore hope to eat as I have eaten? Now I go to a restaurant and over my lonely roast beef come visions of gebackner Schinken steaming in its Burgundy sauce, of Spatzle, ah! of Spatzle and Spargel! No, I shall never again become reconciled to my American diet. And the wines, so carefully slipped ashore from the German boats, and the pledges we made as the glasses brimmed for the fourth and fifth and sixth times.
Of course you are right to go. You have never become American despite your success here, and now that the business is so well established you must take your sturdy German boys back to the homeland to be educated. Elsa too has missed her family through the long years and they will be glad to see you as well. The impecunious young artist has now become the family benefactor, and that too will give you a quiet little triumph.
The business continues to go well. Mrs. Levine has bought the small Picasso at our price, for which I congratulate myself, and I have old Mrs. Fleshman playing with the notion of the hideous Madonna. No one ever bothers to tell her that any particular piece of hers is bad, because they are all so bad. However I lack your f ine touch in selling to the old Jewish matrons. I can persuade them of the excellence of the investment, but you alone had the f ine spiritual approach to a piece of art that unarmed them. Besides they probably never entirely trust another Jew.
A delightful letter came yesterday from Griselle. She writes that she is about to make me proud of my little sister. She has the lead in a new play in Vienna and the notices are excellent -- her discouraging years with the small companies are beginning to bear fruit. Poor child, it has not been easy for her, but she has never complained. She has a fine spirit, as well as beauty, and I hope the talent as well. She asked about you, Martin, in a very friendly way. There is no bitterness left there, for that passes quickly when one is young as she is. A few years and there is only a memory of the hurt, and of course neither of you was to be blamed. Those things are like quick storms, for a moment you are drenched and blasted, and you are so wholly helpless before them. But then the sun comes, and although you have neither quite forgotten, there remains only gentleness and no sorrow. You would not have had it otherwise, nor would I. I have not written Griselle that you are in Europe but perhaps I shall if you think it wise, for she does not make friends easily and I know she would be glad to f eel that f riends are not f ar away,
Fourteen years since the war! Did you mark the date? What a long way we have traveled, as peoples, from that bitterness! Again, my dear Martin, let me embrace you in spirit, and with the most affectionate remembrances to Elsa and the boys, believe me,
Your ever most faithful, Max
Schloss Rantzenburg Munich, Germany

Mr. Max Eisenstein Schulse-Eisenstein Galleries San Francisco, California, U.S.A.
Max, Dear Old Fellow:
The check and accounts came through promptly, for which my thanks. You need not send me such details of the business, You know how I am in accord with your methods, and here at Munich I am in a rush of new activities. We are established, but what a turmoil! The house, as you know, I had long in mind. And I got it at an amazing bargain. Thirty rooms and about ten acres of park; you would never believe it. But then, you could not appreciate how poor is now this sad land of mine. The servants' quarters, stables and outbuildings are most extensive, and would you believe it, we employ now ten servants for the same wages of our two in the San Francisco home.
The tapestries and pieces we shipped make a rich show and some other fine furnishings I have been able to secure, so that we are much admired, I was almost to say envied. Four full services in the f inest china I have bought and much crystal, as well as a full service of silver for which Elsa is in ecstasies.
And for Elsa -- such a joke! You will, I know, laugh with me. I have purchased for her a huge bed. Such a size as never was before, twice the bigness of a double bed, and with great posters in carved wood. The sheets I must have made to order, for there are no sheets made that could fit it. And they are of linen, the finest linen sheets. Elsa laughs and laughs, and her old Grossmutter stands shaking her head and grumbles, ''Nein, Martin, nein. You have made it so and now you must take care or she will grow to match it.''
''Ja,'' says Elsa, ''five more boys and I will fit it just nice and snug.'' And she will, Max.
For the boys there are three ponies (little Karl and Wolfgang are not big enough to ride yet) and a tutor. Their German is very bad, being too much mixed with English.
Elsa's family do not find things so easy now. The brothers are in the professions and, while much respected, must live together in one house. To the family we seem American millionaires and while we are far from that yet our American income places us among the wealthy here. The better foods are high in price and there is much political unrest even now under the presidency of Hindenburg, a fine liberal whom I much admire.
Already old acquaintances urge me that I interest myself in administrative matters in the town. This I take under consideration. It may be somewhat to our benefit locally if I become an official.
As for you, my good Max, we have left you alone, but you must not become a misanthrope. Get yourself at once a nice fat little wife who will busy herself with all your cares and feed you into a good humor. That is my advice and it is good, although I smile as I write it.
You write of Griselle. So she wins her success, the lovely one! I rejoice with you, although even now I resent it that she must struggle to win her way, a girl alone. She was made, as any man can see, for luxury and for devotion and the charming and beautiful life where ease allows much play of the sensibilities. A gentle, brave soul is in her dark eyes, but there is something strong as iron and very daring too. She is a woman who does nothing and gives nothing lightly. Alas, dear Max, as always, I betray myself. But although you were silent during our stormy affair, you know that the decision was not easy for me. You never reproached me, your friend, while the little sister suffered, and I have always felt you knew that I suffered too, most gravely. What could I do? There was Elsa and my little sons. No other decision was possible to make. Yet for Griselle I keep a tenderness that will last long after she has taken a much younger man for husband or lover. The old wound has healed but the scar throbs at times, my friend.
I wish that you will give her our address. We are such a short distance from Vienna that she can feel there is for her a home close at hand. Elsa, too, knows nothing of the old feeling between us and you know with what warmth she would welcome your sister, as she would welcome you. Yes, you must tell her that we are here and urge her to soon make a contact with us. Give her our most warm congratulations for the fine success that she is making.
Elsa asks that I send to you her love, and Heinrich would also say ''hello'' to Uncle Max. We do not forget you, Maxel.
My heartiest greetings to you, Martin

Families head to Bathwick Hill for Easter fun
Posted: April 19, 2014|
Children young and old headed for Bathwick Hill to take part in some Easter fun.
The National Trust organised an array of egg-themed activities to get families out of doors and enjoying Easter.
Rangers were on hand to help children decorate hard boiled eggs before taking part in egg rolling competitions down the hill.
Lyra Skinner, six, was visiting family from London for the weekend.
Dad Jethro, said: "It's the best view in Bath, good for walking the dogs and the fact this is on is great for the children."
Paul Miller, from Putleney Gardens, was out with his two sons three-year-old Jack and one-year-old Billy.
"We've come up here to have some fun, roll some eggs and enjoy some family time."
Stephanie and Richard Brown, from Great Pulteney Street, proved adults could also enjoy the egg rolling.
Mrs Brown said: "I think it's great they are reintroducing Bath to these traditions of Easter and families can have fun. We don't have children but I've donated an egg. We are old enough to know better but we are going to have a go."
Head ranger for the National Trust, Rob Holden, said the Easter activities were rekindling Bath's love of the out doors.
"It's about simple pleasures and enjoying Easter. It's about being with your family and doing something out of doors."
Throughout the Easter weekend the National Trust was also holding an Easter egg trail around Prior Park.

Tribal Libraries, Archives, and Museums: Preserving our Language, Memory, and Lifeways
Tue, February 14, 2012 • 3:30 PM • GEB 4.214
CWGS Faculty Research Series
Loriene Roy will give a talk on her recently published book, Tribal Libraries, Archives, and Museums: Preserving our Language, Memory, and Lifeways (Scarecrow, 2011)
There are hundreds of tribal libraries, archives and other information centers that offer the services you would expect from any library: circulation of materials, collection of singular items such as oral histories, and provision of public services such as summer reading programs. What is unique in these settings is the commitment to tribal protocols and expressions of tribal lifeways, from their footprints on the land to their architecture and interior design, institutional names, signage, and special services such as Native language promotion. This book offers a collection of articles devoted to tribal libraries and archives and provides an opportunity to share their stories, challenges, achievements, and aspirations to the larger professional community.
Section one introduces the tribal community library, providing context and case studies for libraries in California, Alaska, Oklahoma, Hawai'i, and internationally. Chapters also describe the role of tribal libraries and archives in Native language recovery and revitalization. Section two features service functions of tribal information centers through chapters that address common library services—the library facility, selection, organization, instruction, and programming/outreach—with Native clientele in mind. Section three includes a discussion of the types of records that tribes might collect, legal issues, key issues, and snapshot descriptions of noteworthy archival collections. The final section covers strategic planning, advice on working in the unique environments of tribal communities, advocacy and marketing, initiating continuing education plans for library staff, and time management tips that would be of use for anyone working in a small library setting.

In 2009, the LRI awarded Hongbo Chi, PhD, at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis a Novel Research Grant to build on his discovery of a new pathway in the immune system that might provide keys to understanding and treating lupus and other autoimmune illnesses.
Just a year later, he's made rapid headway in doing just these things.
"The LRI has made it possible for us to move forward on our initial discovery, leading to the identification of a novel mechanism of immune regulation," said Dr. Chi. "Now we will continue to explore whether this pathway can be targeted to treat lupus and other autoimmune diseases."
More about Dr. Chi's discovery from the press office at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital:
New pathway regulates immune balance and offers promising drug development target
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists uncover a novel pathway for regulating T lymphocytes that play very different roles in inflammation; mechanism offers a promising target for new drugs against autoimmune disorders
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified a new pathway that helps control the immune balance through reciprocal regulation of specialized T lymphocytes, which play very different inflammatory roles.
Investigators also determined that two drugs working in different ways to dampen the inflammatory response in patients with multiple sclerosis or following organ transplantation target this new mechanism. Further research into the pathway might lead to new medications to block other autoimmune disorders or to new anti-rejection drugs, researchers said. The work is published in the current online issue of Nature Immunology.
T cells are the white blood cells responsible for both driving and modulating the immune response. This work focuses on a mechanism at work as T cells differentiate into the more specialized T-helper 1 (Th1) cells that drive inflammation or the regulatory T cells that work to shut it down and protect healthy tissue from a misguided immune attack.
"The success or failure of the immune response requires T cells to make the right decision about their fate," said Hongbo Chi, Ph.D., assistant member of the St. Jude Department of Immunology and the paper's senior author.
"In this paper we describe the receptor that controls the cell fate determination of different subsets of T cells; controlling the choice to become either an inflammatory or a regulatory T cell," Chi said. Earlier work from Chi and others linked the receptor, S1P1, to other aspects of T cell functioning.
Researchers also found surprising evidence T cell response is regulated by a lipid the T cell secretes rather than a protein known as a cytokine. If confirmed, Chi said the finding would mark the first time a lipid, rather than a protein, served such a signaling function in T cells.
For this study, investigators used both cultured cells and specially bred mice to link the S1P1 receptor to the fate of the two sub-groups of T cells. Stimulating S1P1 activates a pathway that drives the cell to become a pro-inflammatory Th1 cell. Th1 cells rally other immune components to act against infection and other threats. At the same time, S1P1 activation down regulates differentiation of regulatory T cells. The S1P1-dependent effect on both sub-groups of T cells relies on its ability to dampen signaling through another pathway in the T cell; this second pathway uses a different molecular route to influence the T cell's fate, working through cytokine TGF-beta activation of a signaling molecule called Smad3.
"There is a reciprocal change between the two cell subsets. With this system, T cells that do not become regulatory T cells have a tendency to become T helper type 1 cells," Chi said.
The S1P1 pathway is also targeted by the anti-rejection drug rapamycin, which is used to protect organ transplant patients, and FTY720, which has the promise to become the first oral therapy for use against relapsing multiple sclerosis. This study is the first to show both work in part by modulating this molecular pathway.
The work expands on earlier research from Chi's laboratory showing the S1P1 receptor played a central role in inhibiting the development and function of regulatory T cells. "In this paper, we show that the receptor controls differentiation of conventional T cells as well," he said, specifically Th-1 cells. S1P1 also plays a role in the movement of T cells throughout the body.
Researchers are now focused on understanding the pathways in more detail. The questions include how S1P1 activates the mTOR pathway. Once activated, mTOR, a protein kinase complex, works to dampen signaling along the TGF-Beta – Smad3 pathway, thereby promoting Th1 cell differentiation at the expense of regulatory T cells.
The paper's co-first authors are Kai Yang of St. Jude and Guangwei Liu, formerly of St. Jude and currently of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The other authors are Sharad Shrestha of St. Jude and Samir Burns, formerly of St. Jude.
This work was supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, the Arthritis Foundation, the Lupus Research Institute and ALSAC.

Joliet, Ill. (Sept. 15, 2012) – Ricky Stenhouse Jr. dominated the final 20 laps of Saturday afternoon's Dollar General 300 Nationwide Series race and in the process earned Roush Fenway Racing's first ever NASCAR win at the 1.5-mile tri-oval of Chicagoland Speedway.
"This is awesome," said Stenhouse in victory lane. "I felt like we should have been here last time. It is good to get redemption after a dominating performance last time. We didn't have a dominating car until that last run. Mike (Kelley) kept making good calls and I put us a little behind stalling it on pit road. We had to drive up to the front but Mike gave us a Blue Bird Mustang that could do it. That was a lot of fun and to get Jack's(Roush) first win at Chicago is pretty cool."
The Olive Branch, Mississippi native had to overcome a late race pit-road mishap after stalling his No. 6 Blue Bird Ford Mustang resulting in a loss of seven positions. In a mere 20 laps, Stenhouse bullied his way back to the third position before the caution flag was displayed on lap 166.
Stenhouse restarted fifth for the final green- flag on lap 171 and maneuvered his Ford to the lead in a measly nine laps. Once a top the leader board, the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide champion never looked back and went on to claim his fifth win of the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide season by a 2.5 second margin.
With the victory Stenhouse, the defending Nationwide Series Champion, took over the top spot in the points and now leads second-place Elliot Sadler by nine markers.
Stenhouse and the No. 6 team travel to Kentucky Speedway next weekend for the Kentucky 300. The race is set for Saturday, Sept. 22. Coverage will begin at 3:30 p.m. (EST) on ESPN.

We love being able to talk to our customers so please don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about sizing, fit or general maternity style suggestions.
You can reach us at t: 718 638 1960 Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 7pm EST.
You can also contact us via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We endeavor to reply within 24 hours or sooner.
Sizing Information
Deciding which size to order with maternity clothing can feel a little daunting. In general we advise that you order your pre-pregnancy size as maternity lines are designed to accommodate expanding waist and busts. In the product descriptions we always make note of sizing suggestions if we find that lines run large or small. Whenever they are available we include specific size charts from manufacturers.
Again, we welcome your calls or emails so please don't hesitate to contact us with specific questions as we are happy to help.
We find that customers leave our store with more than one size as lines run differently. Pregnancy is a time to try to let go of the need to fit into a certain size and focus on feeling comfortable and looking great.
Contemporary designers
At BUMP we are delighted to carry a number of contemporary designers who's designs are current and sophisticated while accommodate a woman's body as it changes during pregnancy and post-birth. We can't guarantee that they will fit during your entire pregnancy but we hope that they will be pieces in your wardrobe that you will still adore when you are not pregnant.

A.R.M.S Scope mount on the M1A
I bought this one use from a board member on another site.
The side mounting bolt was useless and had no threads. I had an extra salted away.
The rest of the mount was in good condition.
There has been a lot of discussion about the A.R.M.S Scope mount on the M1A Springfield rifles.
They were originally engineered to fit the M-14 rifle.
The Springfield Armory female slots and the tapped 12-32 side mount holes were out of specification on many of the rifles.
The side mount slots are still capable of holding the mount securely.
There are a few modifications necessary to mate the mount and rifle.
Now use your favorite rings and scope.
Good shooting

Southern Poly Advances to 3rd Consecutive Sweet 16 with 1-0 Double OT Win Against Menlo CollegeIn the Opening Round of the NAIA National Championships, Southern Poly would host Menlo College from Atherton, California. Southern Poly came into the match with a 15-2-2 overall record while Menlo was 13-3-1. This would be the third consecutive appearance for Southern Poly in the NAIA Men's Soccer National Championships while it was Menlo's first appearance.
The match would get off to a flying start as Southern Poly would attack the Menlo goal early and often. Senior Jumol Harewood, Senior Sean Grisham and Junior Emeka Maduka would put together a Southern Poly attack that would out shoot the Oaks from Menlo, 14-0 in the first half. It was a one sided affair in which Southern Poly would pepper the goal, hitting the cross bar, the post, and the Menlo keeper. Even with all the pressure on the Menlo goal, Southern Poly wouldn't be able to score and the halftime score would be 0-0.
The second half saw exactly the same as Southern Poly would come out firing again. They would amass numerous scoring attempts of combination play on top the box, corners and individual efforts but all would come without a result as they would be unable to score. With 15 minutes gone in the second half, Senior Diego Nicholson would pick up his second yellow card and be sent off, forcing Southern Poly to play with one less man for the rest of the match. Even with the man advantage, Menlo would still be unable to mount an attack on the Southern Poly goal. The Hornets would build up play and threaten many more times before the end of regulation, all without success.
The match would go to two 10 minute golden goal overtimes. The first 10 minute period Southern Poly would again come out flying, pushing for the winner, but would be unable to find it. After repeated shots and crosses, the ten minutes would again end scoreless.
"You could see the extreme level of frustration on everyone's face. We did everything right, except score. This game could have been one of the nightmares that so many soccer coaches go through. We played very well, but didn't have anything to show for it," said Hornet Head Coach, Kom Momeni.
The second overtime would finally produce a winner. With 3:12 left in the match, Senior Chris Szalwinski would head a cleared ball back into Harewood. Harewood would turn with his chest and with the goalie charging slip they ball while stretching at full length beyond the keeper. It was the goal that would advance Southern Poly to their third consecutive Sweet 16. The goal was Harewood's 15th of the year, his seventh game winning goal.
"I am proud of the boys for winning their final home match of the year. It was a great way to send off our senior class with such a dramatic ending," said Coach Momeni. "Getting back to the Sweet 16 for a third straight year is so exciting, and these seniors are the driving force behind that."
Southern Poly will travel to Orange Beach, Alabama where the 16 teams left in the tournament will meet to decide a national champion. Southern Poly will face Bethel University from Tennessee in the next round. When they met last year during the regular season, it was a scoreless draw. The match will take place Tuesday, November 29th at 2:30 CST.

Boones' 50th
Our family is blessed to be celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of Bunny and Bruce Boone today, Oct. 6, with a Mass and brunch at St. Stephen Catholic Church.
Father Babu Joseph Elamturuthil will celebrate the Catholic Mass and blessing for the couple at 9:30 a.m. followed by brunch at 11 a.m.
The couple met at St. Mary's Hospital, where they both worked. A wise patient urged Bruce to ask Bunny out on a date, and the rest is history. They were married Oct. 5, 1963, at St. Francis DeSales Catholic Church in Beckley, W.Va. They have continued to live their lives immersed in their church, family and friends. They are the parents of three children, Lisa (and Scott) Willis, Chris (and Nila) Boone, and Jeffrey (and Amy Price) Boone. Their greatest joys have been their grandchildren, Emily and Abby Willis and Sara and Nick Boone.
Bruce retired from Huntington Alloys, and Bunny retired as a Registered Nurse from St. Mary's Hospital. They have devoted themselves after years of paid work to improving the lives of the poor in the local area through their volunteer service to the E.C.C.H.O. food and clothing pantry in Milton, W.Va.
They are planning a road trip to the University of Missouri with their children and grandchildren for a football game this fall.

I found this bar/lounge one day after work and 10 years later you will still find me in this place! Every person i bring here absolutely loves it. I have so many memories in this place from Birthdays to Dates to just co works hanging out. I'm in love with the Watermelon Martini's and the boneless chicken fingers. Everyone knows this is my favorite place to be and i will never get sick of it.!
Posted by annonymous on 11/17/2013
This used to be my favorite restaurant, I love the cocktails. However recently we have noticed different staff every time we go.The food quality has gone down and the brunch is particularly subpar. Right now I would say that it is hit or miss with the food, drinks remain good however!
Posted by R on 09/05/2011
Friends had enjoyed dinner here in the past so we decide to try the brunch 15.99 deal, which is a good value. We were seated in the back, which was swarming with huge black flies. We stayed only because the front was open and we gave them the benefit of the doubt that the opening let in the bugs. It took the waitress 20 minutes to get our drinks, which were flat sodas. Then, she did not return for 20 more minutes to take our orders. After waiting 45 minutes after that and having been at the restaurant for more than am hour and a half, we complained. She informed us that they were understaffed and there was nothing she could do. Finally, 10 minutes later our food came out. Wrong. Egg whites were eggs and French fries were potatoes. The food was swimming in grease and oil. We were so hungry that we just ate it. After 2 hours, we decided to suck it up and consider it a lesson learned that I'm now sharing with you... stay away from the awful brunch.
Posted by Mike S. on 06/23/2011
The food here is simply inedible. The sides are greasy and tasteless. What they call chicken are small cubes of a rubbery, yet very dry substance that neither looks nor tastes anything like chicken. Did I mention it is overpriced ?!
Posted by anonymous on 06/23/2011
i usually order the parmesan crusted tilapia fish sandwich, and it's been great every time. there are lots of options on the menu, and my friends always seem to enjoy what they order...also, brunch is an excellent value. the hostesses aren't exactly the friendliest, but the service is definitely good.
Posted by anonymous on 01/04/2011
I have never ordered an actual meal but have been in for the happy hour drinks and appetizers. I always try to order something different and have never had something bad. Once there was a special which was barbeque shirmp and it was amazing!
Posted by anonymous on 11/18/2010
need a cute spot for drinks afterwork? gets the job done. a nice hungover brunch for not that much money? gets the job done. a quick bite to eat? a decent dinner? a nice martini? a casual place to go out on the weekend? uptown can be all of those things. the food is good, the drinks are good, the prices are decent and they have some good deals during the week with things like martini nights. you wont be disappointed going here but you're not going to lose your panties in excitement over anything either.

Arlington, VA- The National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) announced today its support for legislation introduced by U.S. Representatives Gwen Moore (D-WI), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Keith Ellison (D-MN), Donald Payne (D-NJ), and Louise Slaughter (D-NY) that would require all child care providers caring for unrelated children to pass a criminal background check. The Child Care Accountability and Responsibility Act of 2012 (CARE for Kids Act) calls on states to conduct a fingerprint check against federal and state records and the sex offender, child abuse and neglect registries.
"Parents want their children safe in child care," said Ollie M. Smith, Interim Executive Director of NACCRRA. "One of the best ways to ensure children's safety is to require a comprehensive background check of child care providers. We commend Representatives Moore, Schakowsky, Ellison, Payne, and Slaughter, for their commitment to children and making their safety a top priority."
NACCRRA regularly reviews state standards to determine whether or not states require a comprehensive background check for child care providers, among other health and safety requirements. NACCRRA recently found that only 11 states require a comprehensive background check. For child care centers, only 17 states require a check of the sex offender registry and only 26 states conduct a state and federal fingerprint check.
"Our polling shows that parents assume child care providers have undergone background checks, particularly those who are paid to care for children with federal or state dollars," said Smith. "But, the reality is that most states do not conduct comprehensive background checks to ensure that those with violent criminal histories are not allowed to provide child care. In light of the fact that about $10 billion in government funding is spent on child care each year, federal funds should only support child care that is free from felons and child predators."
Nearly 11 million children under age 5 are in some type of child care arrangement every week while their parents work. On average, children of working mothers spend 35 hours every week in child care. Studies repeatedly show that quality child care - care that provides a loving, safe, and age-appropriate environment -- helps children enter school ready to learn. Yet, less than 10 percent of the nation's child care is of high-quality.
To ensure children's safety and improve the quality of child care, NACCRRA recommends that Congress require all adult child care providers who regularly care for unrelated children to undergo a comprehensive background check. In addition, NACCRRA calls on Congress to establish minimum health and safety protections for children in child care and enforce those protections through quarterly inspections; require all child care workers to have at least 40 hours of initial training in basic health and safety, CPR, first aid, child development, and child abuse reporting and recognition and 24 hours of annual training.
"Taxpayer dollars should simply not pay convicted felons and sex offenders to care for our children," said Smith. "Children should be safe in child care settings that promote their healthy development and well-being."
NACCRRA, the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies, is our nation's leading voice for child care. We work with more than 600 state and local Child Care Resource and Referral agencies to ensure that all families have access to quality, affordable child care. To achieve our mission, we lead projects that increase the quality and availability of child care professionals, undertake research, and advocate child care policies that positively impact the lives of children and families. To learn more about NACCRRA and how you can join us in ensuring access to quality child care for all families, visit us at www.naccrra.org.
