Hearings began this week for House Bill 597 (HB 597), the latest attempt to repeal Ohio's New Learning Standards (which includes the Common Core in math and English language arts). The first of several days of proponent testimony began Monday. Sitting in on the hearings has offered me a chance to develop a better understanding of the opposition to the standards, and if it wasn't clear to me before then it is now: These folks don't want anything that even resembles the Common Core to be used in Ohio schools.
They could be in for a surprise then, because the language of HB 597 borrows, in some significant ways, from the Common Core. During testimony on the August 18 hearing, Rep. Andy Thompson explained that he wanted to avoid the "sleight of hand" he saw in Indiana, which infamously repealed Common Core only to replace it with standards that were remarkably similar. Judge for yourselves if Ohio's lawmakers are proposing to break new ground in HB 597 or simply recycling.
This is a tricky story, but stay with me.
A 10-year-old charter school in the Cincinnati area ended up in court against the Ohio Department of Education back in July in an effort to find a sponsor (after being dropped) and to reopen as usual for the 2014-15 school year. The tussling ended in a court-ordered limbo, but the legal questions remained an active concern.
A July 29 piece in the Cleveland Plain Dealer summarized the story to that point and quoted Fordham's Vice President for Sponsorship and Dayton Initiatives Kathryn Mullen Upton laying out the legal issues under consideration: "(1) The accountability system and an authorizer's judgment about the quality of a school are meaningless; (2) if you're a school that is non-renewed by any authorizer, not just ODE, you can simply go to court and up your chances of finding a new sponsor; and (3) despite recent actions to try to improve school and authorizer quality, ODE in reality has scant enforcement ability/authority… In a nutshell, it's a huge step backward for Ohio."
The limbo dragged on with no resolution but on August 12 the school announced it would not reopen due to financial distress....
Representative Andy Thompson and Speaker Pro Tempore Matt Huffman have introduced new legislation to repeal the Common Core, and hearings start today (Monday, August 18). But they're not telling you the whole story. Read on to find out what they don't want you to know and why their reasoning doesn't make sense.
[All opponent statements are direct quotes from this press conference]
1. Ohio was ahead of the game in wanting change: It began reviewing its academic standards back in 2007—long before governors and state superintendents started to talk about creating Common Core.
What opponents said:
[We] want to make sure Ohio is in the driver's seat in this process.
[We] want to make sure Ohio is in the driver's seat in this process.
The truth: By the time the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) started work on replacing state standards that were sorely lacking, the Buckeye state had already begun to respond to educator concerns about Ohio's standards. In fact, the Ohio Department of Education conducted an international benchmarking study in 2008 (published in 2009) that laid out some guiding principles for revised Ohio standards—principles...
In Ohio, like many states across the nation, reading achievement has largely stalled. The state's reading scores on the domestic NAEP assessments haven't moved over the past decade: In fourth-grade reading, the state's average score was 222 in 2003 and 224 in 2013. The story is the same for eighth grade. Meanwhile, on state assessments, reading proficiency rates have improved noticeably in fourth grade (from 77 percent in 2006 to 88 percent in 2013), but fifth- and sixth-grade reading proficiency rates haven't budged. In fifth grade, for instance, statewide reading proficiency was 75 percent in 2006 and 74 percent in 2013.
Test data suggest that strong and concerted efforts must be made to stem the tide of mediocre reading achievement. The Third Grade Reading Guarantee is one policy initiative aimed at improving early literacy. And in 2010, the state board adopted new English language arts (ELA) standards—part of the Common Core—in order to increase the rigor of what students are expected to know and be able to do when it comes to reading, writing, and grammar.
State leaders have created a policy framework—Third Grade Reading for foundational early-literacy skills and long-term growth under the Common...
For decades, much ado has been made over parental involvement in schools. Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD), as part of the 2012 Cleveland Plan For Transforming Schools, requires by law that all parents meet with their child's teacher by December of every school year. About 75 percent of elementary school and 60 percent of high school students had a parent meet with their child's teacher this past school year, the first covered by the new law. District administrators call these numbers "pretty impressive" (at least at the elementary level), but the outcomes resulting from mandating parental involvement are unclear. For starters, it's impossible to compare the totals to previous year's totals or even to other districts' totals, including those of suburban counterparts, since the state doesn't require them to keep track of parent-teacher conference attendance. Despite the good intentions of the Cleveland mandate, a question remains: is there an academic benefit to this kind of parental involvement?
The answer is complicated. Some types of involvement, such as reading to elementary students at home, discussing school activities or college plans, and requesting a particular teacher, do yield positive results. But other common practices, like helping with homework, usually don't alter...
EDITOR'S NOTE: This short review originally ran in Education Gadfly Weekly on July 23, 2014. Here we present the original review with an added Ohio perspective.
This new report from the University of Arkansas compares the productivity of public charter schools and district schools, both in terms of cost effectiveness and return on investment (ROI). For the cost-effectiveness analysis, the authors consider how many test-score points students gain on the 2010–11 NAEP for each $1,000 invested; to measure ROI, the authors used, among other data, student-achievement results from CREDO's national charter school study (that matched students via a "virtual twin" methodology). The key finding: For every $1,000 invested, charter students across the United States earned a weighted average of an additional seventeen points in math and sixteen additional points in reading on NAEP, compared to traditional district students, controlling for student characteristics such as poverty and special-education status. This translates into charters nationwide being 40 percent more cost effective. Meanwhile, Buckeye State charters are less cost effective than national charters, though still more so than their district counterparts within the state. Ohio charters averaged nine additional NAEP points in both reading and math per $1,000 in funding relative to comparable districts. The researchers...
EDITOR'S NOTE: This blog post was first published on the United States Chamber of Commerce's website on Wednesday, July 23, 2014, and is reprinted here by permission of the author.
Ohio has had statewide learning standards in mathematics and English Language Arts in the past, but these standards were not rigorous and not aligned with the demands of college and the workplace. The outcome was low academic expectations which resulted in too many students not being college ready, and a short supply of graduates with the basic abilities needed for success in the workplace, including critical thinking and problem solving skills.
The dismal statistics below underscore to a significant extent the reality of the "quality of education" in Ohio:
The Hispanic population in the United States continues to grow, with Hispanics making up nearly 17 percent of the total population. This population is young (33 percent is of school age) and is changing the demographics of schools in many states, Ohio among them. From 2000–10, the Hispanic population in Ohio grew to approximately 350,000 individuals, representing 3 percent of the state's total population. That's obviously smaller than in, say, Texas, but the number is rising.
Unfortunately, Hispanic students in Ohio schools are struggling. On the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA), administered in May 2013, Hispanic children scored lower than the state average in both reading and mathematics at every grade level tested. Similarly, on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 2013, Hispanic students in Ohio scored, on average, seventeen points lower than their white peers in fourth-grade reading and fifteen points lower in fourth-grade math. Further, only 66 percent of Hispanic students in Ohio graduate from high school, compared to 80 percent for all students. These results indicate that the achievement gap remains wide...
Inter-district open enrollment often flies under the radar in discussions about school choice. It may be that way because it has been around so long (established in 1989 and operating in its current form since 1998); perhaps because it is not universally available or because many of the most-desirable districts do not allow open enrollment; or perhaps because it is choice "within the family" (that is, the traditional district family). Despite its usual low-profile, two recent newspaper stories shined light on the topic of open enrollment, showing a disconnect between those administering this unsung school choice program and those who actually use it.
From a district's point of view, open enrollment can easily devolve into "just business" – dollars in and dollars out to be accounted for year after year. Just check out this story from Hancock County in Northwest Ohio. Net financial "winners"—those districts that have more open-enrollee students coming in than leaving—seem to be fine with the system, as might be expected. But net financial "losers" are objecting more strenuously as the losses go on. Their objections, however, often have very little to do with why students are attending a school outside of their "home" district. In...
Earlier this year, two articles published in the Columbus Dispatch claimed that students using vouchers to attend private schools in Ohio perform worse than their peers attending public schools. The focus of the March 8 article and the subsequent March 16 editorial was on extending the third grade reading guarantee to students using vouchers (a measure eventually signed into law). In an effort to bolster this argument, the article referenced data suggesting that 36 percent of third-grade voucher students would be retained compared to only 34 percent of public school students. Other articles in the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Canton Repository made similar comparisons that negatively portrayed the performance of students using an EdChoice Scholarship. However, Test Comparison Summary data released this week by the Ohio Department of Education shows a very different picture of how voucher students are performing. The key is using the right comparison group.
The data used in the articles referenced above incorrectly grouped the results of all public school students in the state, including many affluent public schools, and then compared their results with those of voucher students. However, these scholarships are not available to all students. Students...

I know, it;s weird, im seventeen and have just seen this 1922 film, but i was bored and it came on.....one of the scariest films in my life by the way.
But to anyone who has seen it.
there was a part in it when the guy was having "nightmares", and the music on, i swear sounded like breakbeat, d'n'b music....!!
i spent the last 20mins like a philosopher, thinking about the origins of music today, i have never heard anything like this from the period, i have not been this amazed and been forced to really think about the origins of music in a long time, i'll try and find a link to it!
it was the soundless version
Re: Nosferatu?
the movie didnt have an actual soundtrack in 1922. the sound the audience would hear would just be an organist. whatever music you heard was added much later. those more popular silent films have a few different soundtracks over the years. such as The Passion of Joan of Arc. (which some say was the great performance by an actor ever.) either way its seriously awesome. find the one with the Jon van den Booren score. its great.
anyway, nosferatu was rereleasd in 2001 with restored picture and a new score. maybe you saw that one.
Re: Nosferatu?
Re: Nosferatu?
Dude if you liked Nosferatu, RUN, DO NOT WALK to the video store and check out a little gem of a movie called "Shadow of the Vampire" starring John Malkovich and Willem Defoe, it is one of my top 3 vampire flicks of the last 50 years (and i'm a sucker for vampire and werewolf flicks, good or bad).
Re: Nosferatu?
Re: Nosferatu?
Re: Nosferatu?
"Shadow of the Vampire" is a boderline dramatic satire of the making of 1922's Nosferatu with an awesome premise. Defoe should have won an oscar! I'm telling you, go get it!!!
Re: Nosferatu?
you should check out the 1979 remake. Killer film.

Sergio Busquets has backed his Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi to manage his latest injury properly and return to action "100 per cent" fit.
The Argentinian striker was ruled out of action for up to two months on November 11 after suffering another hamstring problem during the previous day's Primera Division victory over Real Betis.
Messi, 26, confirmed he would not rush back into the Barca first team and that he would only return when he had fully recovered.
And midfielder Busquets believes Messi's patient approach is the right one.
Speaking while on international duty with Spain in South Africa, he told Barca's official website: "Messi is intelligent, he knows what he needs. This is not a short-term injury.
"He's going to recover as well as possible, and he will do so calmly. He knows what he needs better than anyone else, and he knows that rushing things can lead to complications.
"When he comes back he'll be at 100 per cent."
Messi has scored 223 goals for Barca with 14 so far this season but there are concerns his injury-affected year could count against him in the voting for the Ballon d'Or, with a final five-man shortlist set to be revealed early next month.
Busquets is in no doubt that the diminutive Argentinian remains the world's leading player ahead of the likes of France and Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"For me the number one is Messi," said the Catalan. "He doesn't need to win the treble or finish the season as the leading goalscorer in La Liga.
"The criteria for awarding the Ballon d'Or are not very clear to me, but it's obvious an attacking player is going to win it. All the nominees are great players."

Smokey Joes
I like to use seitan to make this spicy version of sloppy joes, but you can also use frozen crumbled tofu, grated tempeh, or cooked bulgur to good effect.
- 8 ounces seitan
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup minced onion
- 1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/4 cup water, or more
- 1 or 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon dark prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 burger rolls
1. Shred or finely chop the seitan and set it aside.
2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, cover, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Stir in the reserved seitan and the soy sauce and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown.
3. Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, water, chipotle chile, mustard, chili powder, paprika, Liquid Smoke, salt, and pepper. Mix well, adding a little more water if the mixture is too dry. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
4. When ready to serve, spoon the hot mixture onto rolls and serve hot.
Serves 4

Fourteenth Annual Texas Foreign Language Education Conference (TexFLEC)
Blending the Boundaries in the Age of Globalization: Trends, Challenges, and Innovations in Language Education
Friday and Saturday, February 22nd and 23rd, 2013
The University of Texas at Austin
The Texas Foreign Language Education Conference (TexFLEC) at The University of Texas at Austin is an annual conference that brings together researchers, educators and students in the fields of foreign language education, TEFL/TESL (Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language), linguistics, and applied linguistics.
Rapid changes in globalization have fostered an era of unprecedented interconnectedness between people. Language educators can now use innovative approaches that have helped blend previously definable distinctions in foreign or second language learning and teaching. It is time for educators and students to share and discuss current ideas and research on how these blended boundaries are impacting language classrooms.
For more information, visit the conference website.
The Power of Openness: Improving Foreign Language Learning Through Open Education
Thursday, August 9, 2012 10:00 am - 3:00 pm and Friday, August 10, 2012 9:00 am - noon
CBA Events Room (3.304)
The spirit and practice of sharing is gaining momentum and producing excitement, from high school teachers trading ideas and lesson plans with their peers in online communities, to professors making their courseware open to the public. This symposium seeks to bring together foreign language teachers, instructional designers, and educational administrators to discuss how to produce a new generation of foreign language materials called Open Educational Resources (OERs). OERs are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits sharing, accessing, repurposing and collaborating with others. Come learn how OERs enhance foreign language learning by leveraging the power of openness.
This symposium offers CPE credits.

Twelfth Annual Texas Foreign Language Education Conference - "Language Education Across the Academic Pipeline"
April 15-16, 2011
McComb's School of Business (GBS) 3rd floor Atrium
Sponsored by The Foreign Language Education Program, Texas Language Center at the University of Texas at Austin, and The Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio
The "academic pipeline" is a metaphor that education researchers have used to describe the flow of students progress from primary schools through higher education. The theme of this year's conference addresses crucial questions about that pipeline for ELLs and foreign language learners: To what extent does K-12 language education prepare students to transition smoothly to college and higher education opportunities? What practices provide continuity and support for students as they navigate through elementary, secondary, post-secondary, and continuing education contexts? What factors cause students to "leak out" of the educational system and/or out of language studies?

Revisiting Proficiency: 21st Century Views on Language Learning
April 24, 2010
Sponsored jointly by the Texas Language Center and the College of Liberal Arts
Since the creation of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines in 1986, much of the language teaching profession has used these descriptors to define the learner's functional capacity to use the language. Critics, however, cite both the difficulty of assessing competence through the oral proficiency interview, as well as the descriptors inability to take into account individual learner differences, as limitations of the guidelines. This symposium and workshop aims to bring our understanding of proficiency-based instruction into the 21st century with first-hand recommendations and practices from specialists from the School of Language Studies at the Foreign Service Institute, US Department of State

There is probably no segment of activity in the education world attracting as much attention at present as that of knowledge management in terms of learning analytics. Learning analytics as defined by elearnspaces is the use of intelligent data, learner-produced data, and analysis models to discover information and social connections, and to predict and advise on learning.
EDUCAUSE's Next Generation learning initiative defines the learning analytics as "the use of data and models to predict student progress and performance, and the ability to act on that information".
The traditional approach to learning analytics was to measure a student's mastery of a skill sets as compared to rote learning strategies and state standards. These types of traditional assessments were renamed in the early 90's as summative assessment based after new trends were developed in data driven decision making.

"Beautiful Skin Resurfacing -..."

His staff were very professional and the recovery was quick considering the procedure. l had to wear bandages over my face for four days and my skin healed very quickly. The procedure helped with acne scaring, the scar from the phenol peel, and fine lines around my eyes. Six weeks... more

I know people who have used aliases, and changed a name, and changed a pronunciation, and buried the old in favor of the partner's surname, and taken on a nickname. But I have only come across two people who went by a first name only.
In one case, it was a vanity thing, or at least that's how it looked to me. It was a writer, our paths crossed briefly but at close range, and I got a good look: noisy fellow, insecure, the use of the single name as if his fist pounded on a puffed up chest. I Tarzan.
The other case was entirely different, a middle-aged woman, her aspect pained, her eyes hard to look at, and her voice a little freighted. You could
see she wanted to be free of something, and I wished for her sake that the name change did it, but it didn't.
A name has to work—in life and in a piece of writing—or it lacks authenticity, which in turn introduces an irritant into the scene, and before long, nothing is working. What kind of authority is held by our selection? What kind of history? What fate, what trajectory have we foisted on our character? A Theodore is not a James or an Ari. An Adolf is an unfortunate choice.
I'm capable of running through a host of names before I find the right one. I won't go so far as to say that this decision is an all or nothing proposition—well, on second thought, yes I would.

BoundGods.com is a hardcore gay bondage site featuring hung and built studs getting stripped, punished and fucked.
It's a quiet night at home for Casey More and his girlfriend Alyssa as they're getting ready for bed. He asks Alyssa to make sure she locks the door. As they lie asleep, leather stud Jeremy Stevens breaks in and abducts poor Casey right out of his bed and drags him away. Casey wakes up, bound to the floor with his mouth gagged as Jeremy approaches. Jeremy removes the gag and shoves his hard cock in Casey's mouth. The straight stud is feisty and refuses to cooperate, so Jeremy beats him down and ties his balls to the ceiling to show him who's boss. Casey's screams for mercy continue as Jeremy beats the straight stud with the flogger from front to back. But the fun isn't over for Jeremy, he suspends Casey in the air and fucks the hell out of his tight hole. Tied down to the floor again Casey receives his captor's hot cum all over his face. Jeremy then milks a load out of the boy's cock before leaving him bound and covered in cum.

My Shot: Ken Venturi
Age 73 • Rancho Mirage, California
I often play a few holes in the morning, alone. A while back I made a hole-in-one, which is always fun, and when I got in one of the assistant pros asked how I was doing. "Great," I say. "I just made a hole-in-one." He kind of rolls his eyes as he walks away with my bag and says, "You sure it wasn't two holes-in-one?"
I had a terrible stammering problem when I was young, and as a result I spent a lot of time alone. Golf-wise, there were advantages to that. When I went to the golf course by myself, I'd play two balls. One ball I had to fade every shot, the other ball I had to draw every shot. If I failed to at least curve the ball in the direction I wanted, that ball lost the hole, and I moved on. By the time I got to the point where the fade and draw won about equally, I was a very good player. To this day, I think it's a wonderful way for a kid to learn how to play golf.
I started the final round of the 1956 Masters with a four-stroke lead, but then shot 80 to lose to Jackie Burke by one. I hit 15 greens the last day but three-putted six times. The mistake I made was consciously trying to two-putt every green and just coast home. The hardest thing in golf is trying to two-putt when you have to, because your brain isn't wired that way. You're accustomed to trying to make putts, and when you change that mind-set, your brain short-circuits, especially under pressure.
When Byron Nelson was unable to be the honorary starter at the 1983 Masters, he asked me to fill in for him. Of course I agreed. After Gene Sarazen, Sam Snead and I teed off, we decided to play the front nine. Much to my surprise, I made four birdies and one bogey and made the turn at 33. Boy, did I hit it good. My imagination started flying. "Gene, I want us to keep playing," I said. "I can lead this tournament." Sarazen saw the desire in my eyes, and we started walking toward No. 10. Suddenly, Gene stopped. "On second thought, to hell with it," he said. "You can't lead anything, Venturi. Let's get some lunch." I just followed Gene into the clubhouse, like a puppy.
Bobby Jones told me in 1958 that, had I won the 1956 Masters and remained an amateur, he would have asked me to be president of Augusta National. Mr. Jones cherished the fact he was a lifelong amateur, and he really wanted to see an amateur win the tournament and succeed him. That was some high honor. If I'd won in 1956, I for sure never would have turned professional.
Frank Sinatra was my best friend for many years. When we lived together for a time, Frank would get up in the morning and scan the newspaper for stories about people going through some terrible crisis. Countless times Frank would donate money to the victims, always with the condition that he remain nameless. Frank impressed me in many ways, but the greatest thing was his charity.
At the 1959 Los Angeles Open my swing was just a little off. The night before the final round, I was practice swinging in my hotel room when I suddenly stumbled onto a thought. To see if it worked, I got some balls, opened the balcony window and hit a dozen or so balls out into the night. It worked all right; I shot 63 the next day and won the tournament. The moral of the story is, think about your game away from the course. Keep a putter next to your desk, grip a club while you watch TV. That's where the best thoughts come to you.
For 27 years I conducted the Guiding Eyes Golf Classic, an outing in New York that has raised more than $6 million toward giving guide dogs to the blind. It's very worthwhile, because the dogs cost $40,000 to raise and train. During the September 11 attacks at the World Trade Center, a blind man named Omar Rivera was on the 71st floor of the north tower. Omar didn't think he could make it down through the crush of people, so he asked another man to save his dog. The man agreed, but the dog shook loose, retrieved Omar, and got them both all the way out. Some time later, at a Guiding Eyes gala at Rockefeller Plaza, Omar came forward and told his story. Toward the end, he said, "This dog came from Ken Venturi." I cry easily enough as it is, but I cried buckets that day.
I see where Moe Norman died. I'm here to tell you he was better than anyone can imagine. When Moe played in the Masters back in the '50s he caused an uproar, hitting full iron shots off the practice putting green. Some members came down, all upset, but they got frustrated because Moe didn't leave a mark on the green, he picked the ball so clean. I didn't know Moe well. Not many people did. But as a ball-striker he was as good as it gets.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS Strengthening the Role of Cancer Centers Many important discoveries are occurring in the basic biologic, clinical, and behavioral sciences that relate to cancer. The committee recommends that the National Cancer Institute strengthen its core support of cancer centers in. order to exploit fully the application of these advances in the prevention and treatment of cancer and its consequences. The committee believes that cancer centers provide an interdisciplinary environment that is valuable not only for research but also for the translation of research discoveries into better methods of prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and of meeting the long-term needs of survivors and family members. Solving Short-term Funding Issues The committee recommends below that the longer-term role of the cancer centers core grant program in the national cancer program should be the subject of an intensive planning effort. Immediate steps should be taken, however, to ensure that high-quality cancer centers do not lose their core grants for lack of program funding. The committee recommends that the director of the National Cancer Institute take immediate steps to avert a crisis in the funding of the program during the current fiscal Year (1989). The committee recommends further that the directors of NCI and the National Institutes of Health, with the secretary of the Department of Health and Eluman Services, work with the appropriate committees of Congress to develop an adequate budget for the program's next fiscal Year (logo!. Otherwise, the committee is concerned that projected funding levels for the core grant program this year and next will result in the loss of centers with excellent peer-review pr ority scores before the program planning process is completed. Specifically, for fiscal year 1989, the committee suggests that the director allocate the additional funding needed to fund at 85 percent of recommended levels the core grants of the competing centers that have fundable priority X1

scores, up to a limit of $6 million. For fiscal year 1990, the administration should work with Congress to develop a budget that will avoid the current situation and continue to provide.support grants to those competing centers that have excellent programs, as measured by peer-review priority scores. Planning for the Future The committee recommends that the National Cancer Institute develop a systematic program plan during the coming year to ensure adequate fiscal, managerial. and organizational resources, coordination with related programs. and effective scientific oversight for the cancer centers program. The plan should take account of the changing fiscal ant] organizational arrangements involved in the delivery of health services. Strengthening Program Organization and Management Strengthening the capacity of cancer centers to exploit the unprecedented opportunities to incorporate emerging scientific advances into better cancer prevention and treatment wall require organizational changes and increased management capacity for the core grant program. The specific decisions, however, should be left to the director of NCT, who is In the best position to determine effective ways to improve the program's location, representation, and oversight and to strengthen the program's capacity for data gathering, planning, evaluation, and implementation. The committee recommends that the director of the National Cancer Institute consider how best to increase representation of the cancer centers program in NCI planning and decision-making processes. including regular representation of the centers at the NCI executive committee meetings and creation of an external advisory committee to review their multidisciplinary programs. The committee recommends that the director of the National Cancer Institute substantially strengthen the management capabilities of the cancer centers program unit. That unit must be able adequately to plan. monitor, evaluate, and implement the cancer centers program. �e XII

About the Collections
The Library of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain is the repository for one of the most important collections of materials in the world relating to Quakers and their activities. It started in 1673 when the Second Day's Morning Meeting agreed to acquire two copies of everything written by Quakers and one copy of everything written against them. We are still collecting but it is no longer possible to be as comprehensive. As well as covering Quaker history and thought the collection covers topics in which Quakers have been active such as peace, anti-slavery and relief work. The Library also holds the central archives and records of Britain Yearly Meeting.
The Library Collection Policy [PDF: 54kb - new window] gives a clear statement of our current collecting policy and acquisitions criteria. Specific collection policies are being written for each of the Library's collecting areas.
Books and pamphlets
The Library has over 80,000 books and pamphlets, including a unique collection of 17th Century Quaker and anti-Quaker material. It is a reference collection, although we will sometimes loan duplicate copies of books less than 75 years old to registered borrowers in the UK only. Over half of the printed collection is searchable on the Library's online catalogue.
Over 200 titles are regularly received that are mainly Quaker related. They range from academic titles such as Quaker Studies and The Journal of the Friends Historical Society, to special interests such as Towards Wholeness (Friends Fellowship of Healing) to the newsletters and journals of other Yearly Meetings. We have complete runs of many titles, plus older titles that no longer exist.
There is also a guide to the Periodicals collection
Archives and Manuscripts
The Library houses four broad categories of archival materials. They are:
- the archives of Britain Yearly Meeting and its committees (including Meeting for Sufferings). These are committees responsible for the work of Friends in Britain and overseas.
- the archives of London & Middlesex General Meeting and its monthly and local meetings. This covers Greater London, Middlesex and some parts of Essex, Kent and Surrey which border on London.
- the archives of some Quaker organisations that are not part of Britain Yearly Meeting, such as Friends Ambulance Unit; and a few non-Quaker organisations, such as Central Board for Conscientious Objectors.
- manuscript collections and papers of a wide variety of significant Friends, such as Margaret Fell and Elizabeth Fry. Please note that manuscripts received after the mid-1990's have not normally been listed or catalogued.
Like most archival collections there may be restrictions on access to some items. For more information on access see
- Archives Collection Policy [PDF: 176.8 kb- new window]
- Manuscripts Collection Policy [PDF: 285kb- new window]
Meeting records
Records of Quaker meetings outside the London and Middlesex General Meeting area are not held in the Library, but are deposited in the appropriate local records offices and libraries around the country. A location list is kept in the Library. The Archon Directory www.archon.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon has details of local records offices and repositories in the UK.
Pictures and Museum objects
The Library is home to a varied collection of photographs (including a substantial collection of lantern slides), paintings, drawings, prints and posters. Subjects consist mostly of group and individual portraits of Friends, meeting houses and aspects of Quaker work at home and abroad. For information on purchasing reproductions please read Pictures Collection [PDF: 45kb - new window]
The Library also has a varied collection of museum objects.
Records Management
The Library provides a records management service to Britain Yearly Meeting departments. It gives help and advice on records management practices and procedures.
Some parts of our collections are available on microfilm only. These include
• Quaker Digests of Births, Marriages and Burials (see our "Genealogy" guide at http://www.quaker.org.uk/subject-guides )
• personnel record cards for Friends Ambulance Unit 1914-1919 (TEMP MSS 881/PER : 2 card series)
• personnel record cards for Friends Ambulance Unit 1939-1946 (TEMP MSS 876/PER : 1 series).
You are welcome to use the microfilm reader; it may be booked for 1 hour or 2 hours per day. Please contact us, stating the item or series you wish to consult.
There are microfilm and microfiche copies of some other collections. These may be produced to readers in lieu of original collections, for conservation reasons. Please see a link to our Preservation policy at http://www.quaker.org.uk/preservation-collections .
You may order scans or print outs from microfilm, on completion of an order form and copyright declaration: see http://www.quaker.org.uk/services . You can also request a form from the Enquiry desk. We charge 50p per page; please note it can take up to ten working days to process requests.

I've taken off the past couple days to spend some time extra time with my boys. We've been doing lots of bike riding & simply enjoying summer. It's so much fun now that the boys are a little older. They have so much more stamina & we can ride for longer stretches at a time! We all stopped for a treat! The boys wanted to go to Whole Foods to get a sandwich (T got grilled cheese & Stone got avacado, jalepeno, spinach, onion, cheddar sandwich) & I got an almond milk latte from Peet's! We were all very happy when we took a little break from our riding excursion!
I'm not much of a cross trainer in the summer, but as I've been struggling with running, riding a little has felt good on my legs. I ran 4 miles prior to our 9 mile + ride. We'll see how I feel today, as I set out to run 6 or 7 miles before going to a water park (if it doesn't rain).
I need to go back to work on Thursday, but we'll be going away for a few days next week, so we'll have more fun then!
I think I figured why I simply don't have enough fuel in my tank when running. It can't be the way I'm eating because I'm getting lots of carbs to keep my body going. I've been enjoying lots of sweet potatoes & parsnip fries, along with almond butter (made my own) & bananas. So that's enough carbs to fuel with the night before & morning before a long run. However, I believe I've been a little depleted of electrolytes! I haven't been consuming any Cocogo or Nuun, which used to give me the electrolytes needed to keep me going. So, I took the advice of The 30 Clean team to put a little sea salt & lemon in my water. I'm still not sure that I'm getting enough, as I just haven't been taking the time to juice the lemons throughout the day, but will continue to try to get some more in & hope that it will make a difference & give me a little reserve to keep my runs feeling strong. I'll keep you posted.
As far as The 30 Clean…
I can't even tell you how great I'm feeling. I've definitely been struggling with my energy levels on & off. Mostly it was an issue in the beginning. However, I feel so much less bloated & am really loving all of the foods I've been consuming the past 3 weeks. I only have less than a week to go until the 30 days are up.
What does that mean for my future? Well, I have to tell you that 3 complete meals / day with minimal snacking (1x/day) on long running days has been easier than I ever thought. I am truly not hungry! I'm eating the right foods & am satisfied. I do miss popcorn, and am sure I'll have some shortly after it's over. However, I don't miss embibing on sweets, which is MAJOR for me. I've taken my kids for ice cream & haven't even been interested (not even a taste for me). Not sure how long that'll last, but I truly don't have an interest right now. I'm still struggling with the coffee thing. I don't crave it, I don't need it, but sometimes I just like it. I haven't found a way to really enjoy it other than an almond latte from Peet's (thanks to a fellow 30 Clean"er"). I had no idea Peets had almond milk = score! I did order some coconut butter, so I'll give that a try to see if that'll do the trick for me. The only thing that I've been struggling with is my protein intake! I try hard getting my protein without eating too many nuts or beans. Some days are good for me & others are difficult. I have had some fish, but not daily, and have been trying to be creative in finding ways to get enough protein. Eggs have been doing the trick on days I'm not eating beans or nuts). I am LOVING the 3 ingredient panacakes I've been making often: banana, almond meal & egg with a splash of cinnamon. They're amazing!
My family enjoys some of the meals I've been making & pass on some. I haven't convinced Benji to jump on board. I do think he'd enjoy it if he did it, but haven't convinced him (yet)!
Do you have any interest? There are so many great things I can tell you about it if you want to hear. Just let me know. I know it seems so overwhelming & hard, but it seriously is NOT! I think doing the vegetarian is much harder than the meat version, as I have loads more prep & creativity when meal planning. However, it's worth it & seriously doable.
Ok, I'm done with my soapbox! Better check on my boys, they're somewhere in the arcade. Gotta go see how many tickets they've gotten thus far.

I've been doing Judo on and off since 2006, but more off than on. I finally obtained the glorious rank of yellow belt last February.
I'm thinking I should probably put a couple more points into strength, so I can get back to suplexing people left and right again.

I am saying this with the utmost of respect for the fact that you are doing Judo.
uki waza LOL!
As stated to me when I started Judo and would do sacrifice throws because they would catch people off guard. Learn better techniques that work a large majority of the time. Stop being lazy and become better at learning Judo. It is not to say it doesn't work but it will not work as efficiently as an uchimata.
We had a guy that did uki waza all the time. After a couple of times he was unable to do it on anyone with skill. It just became an annoyance.Judo is only gentle for the guy on top.

AAUW Scholarship
From Helen Bannan, AAUW Oshkosh Branch Scholarship Chair:
As scholarship chair of the Oshkosh branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), I am pleased to announce that we are continuing to offer a one-year, $800 non-renewable scholarship to a woman enrolled full-time in one of the graduate programs at UW Oshkosh. As many of you know, this scholarship has been awarded annually since 1966, and over the years, students from all of the UW Oshkosh colleges offering graduate degrees have been so honored.
The criteria and application form for the scholarship for the 2009-10 academic year can be found on the Graduate Studies website.
The application deadline is January 30, 2009. Applications may be sent to me via e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) or via mail at my home address. Though I have retired, I am on campus most days, doing research in the Archives in Polk Library. Hand delivering applications on campus is a possibility that can be arranged ahead of time via phone, (920) 231-2948, or e-mail.
After our committee reviews the applications, we will select a small group of finalists for on-campus interviews in early February. The scholarship winner will be recognized at the University's annual Honors and Awards Ceremony, and she will receive her check at the beginning of the fall 2009 semester.
We have been consistently impressed over the years with the outstanding quality of the applicants for this scholarship, reflecting the quality of their graduate programs. Our previous winners are alumnae of whom both UW Oshkosh and AAUW are justifiably proud.
