Right now, the DIA is owned by the city but run by an independent entity that has a contract to operate the museum and care for its artwork. / Romain Blanquart/Detroit Free Press

Some of the citys most powerful leaders are working furiously to fashion a grand bargain in which nonprofit foundations would put up $500 million to spin off the Detroit Institute of Arts from the city, and that money would be used to reduce pension cuts and help rebuild city services.
The DIA would be established as a nonprofit, independent of city ownership and the foundations. The proposal would save the DIAs irreplaceable treasures from creditors seeking billions of dollars from the bankrupt city. The goal is to ensure that the museum never again falls prey to the citys financial woes or politics.
The proposal in one swoop could help solve two of the most vexing and controversial problems in the bankruptcy paintings and pensions and pave the way to a speedier resolution of the bankruptcy.

■ Full coverage: Detroits financial crisis
Leading the charge is U.S. Chief District Judge Gerald Rosen, the federal mediator who is pushing some of the countrys largest charitable foundations and their smaller local cousins to pony up the money.
Leaders from at least 10 foundations, which control tens of billions of dollars in assets, remain in ongoing discussions with Rosen. They include giants such as the New York-based Ford Foundation and the Kresge Foundation of Troy, as well as smaller organizations like the McGregor Fund and the Hudson-Webber Foundation, both of Detroit.
The delicate talks are happening in confidential bankruptcy mediation sessions. But it remains unclear whether foundations of radically different sizes with disparate missions and sometimes conflicting priorities can find common ground to help Detroit claw its way out of bankruptcy.
DIA officials declined comment Wednesday. It is unclear if the museum is involved in the negotiations or if it would need to contribute financially.
With Tuesdays ruling that Detroit is eligible for bankruptcy, the clock is racing faster than ever to find a negotiated solution before emergency manager Kevyn Orr officially proposes a restructuring plan that would include pension cuts and the possible sale of irreplaceable DIA masterpieces.
With eligibility out of the way, the next six weeks to two months are critical. These are the deal-making months, said one source with intimate knowledge of the deal-making but who was not authorized to speak on the record. This is the time that individual folks can control their destiny to a certain extent. They can choose to be a willing participant in the negotiating process.
The DIA and its art are currently owned by the city but managed by a nonprofit that operates under a contract agreement with the city. But Orr told the Free Press on Tuesday that the operating agreement could be severed in bankruptcy if the city decides to raise money by selling art.
In the potential deal, the foundation dollars would funnel cash into protecting pensions for 23,500 retirees and reinventing city services for all 700,000 of the citys residents.
Removing the DIA from city ownership would end a nearly century-long entanglement with the ups-and-downs of city finances and politics. However, a transfer of ownership could reignite concerns among some Detroiters than the city is being stripped of its most prized assets.
But the deal could trigger a dispute with financial creditors that want to squeeze more money out of the DIA. Last week, a coalition of bond insurers, European banks and a major union filed a motion asking federal Judge Steven Rhodes to give them the right to evaluate the value of the DIA property in a first step toward forcing the sale of assets.
A crucial domino
Multiple sources told the Free Press that Orr and Rosen see the deal as the first and perhaps most crucial domino to fall in solving the extraordinarily complex problem of reaching a settlement with angry creditors.
Since early last month, Rosen has met with at least 10 local and national foundations to ask them to create the new $500-million fund. A Rosen-mediated deal also would free up money in the bankruptcy case to satisfy other creditors and go toward restoring some of the city services that hard-hit Detroit residents sorely lack.
Bankruptcy is designed to be a carrot and stick, the source told the Free Press. It encourages parties to negotiate issues and solve them or the court will find a solution. I think thats why Judge Rosen sees the opportunity here to really provide the opportunity for every party to come to the table and reach a solution before one is determined by the court that is outside their control.
But if Rosens mediation efforts fail, legal chaos could result. The DIA could sue to protect its collection. Orr could move to end the DIAs operating agreement and potentially oust the DIAs leadership, while pensioners could pursue aggressive legal challenges to protect their monthly checks, potentially extending the bankruptcy case for years.
Orr and DIA leadership have been at loggerheads since May over whether the city-owned museum should contribute roughly $500 million to Orrs restructuring plan, whether by sale, collateralization or other monetization scheme. Orr reiterated Tuesday he regards the art as an asset that he has the right to sell and all but guaranteed that the working draft of his plan includes the monetization of art.
Wed like to find a way to monetize the DIA, he told the Free Press.
The DIA has been just as adamant that it believes that Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuettes opinion that the art is held in public trust precludes any sale and that all of the various ideas for monetizing the collection would lead directly to the repeal of the tri-county property tax that keeps the museum alive.
DIA leaders say they will protect the art in court, but Orr made clear to the Free Press that he was ready to fight if he had to. Asked whether he would remove DIA Director Graham Beal from his job, Orr said he isnt looking to fire anyone, but he left no question that he has the authority to do so.
We have to make decisions that are in the best interests of the city and not any subset of the city or any particular affinity group, Orr said. If there are contractors who work for us that might in some fashion who might be less zealous in their support of those decisions, we have to make appropriate decisions to address impediments to what we have to achieve.
Relieving the pressure
An evaluation released Wednesday of DIA assets by the Christies art auction house seems likely to bolster the odds in favor of a grand bargain. The value Christies placed on the DIAs 2,800 works of city-bought art no more than $870 million is seen as relieving the pressure from creditors to reap billions of dollars from sales of art.
If its agreed that even the most valuable works would fetch well under $1 billion in total, creditors should be less interested in demanding the sale of art. In that case, a $500-million art trust engineered by Rosens mediation efforts would be seen as reasonable.
Rosen is understood to be working doggedly to win agreement from all parties. Some sources indicated that the largest foundations, including the New York-based Ford Foundation with $11 billion in assets, are willing to participate in the new fund, although nothing is official or final. But several of the smaller foundations remain a harder sell.
Its a hard ask, it really is, said one foundation trustee Wednesday, speaking on condition of not being named because of Rosens request for confidentiality. Foundations with smaller endowments would find it harder to pour a significant amount of their assets into a single rescue effort outside the normal scope of their interests. The math is hard unless you get some big guys in, this trustee said.
Another benefit of a grand bargain would be avoiding a nasty intramural fight between the DIA and Orr.
DIA officials including director Beal have insisted the DIA collection, while legally owned by the City of Detroit, is held in public trust and cannot be sold. Schuette agrees and has said he will intervene to fight to prevent any attempt by Orr to sell artwork to raise cash to satisfy creditors.
But in comments this week to Free Press editors and reporters, Orr expressed frustration at the DIAs unwillingness so far to voluntarily find a way to monetize some of its collection. Besides an outright sale, monetization could include loaning art to other museums for a fee or doing deals where wealthy donors buy the art and immediately deed it back to the DIA permanently.
Under federal bankruptcy law, Orr now has the power to cancel contracts, and in theory, he could cancel the contract with the DIAs nonprofit board, take the museum back under direct city control, and fire any DIA executives who refused to play ball.
But nobody wants the dispute to spin so far out of control. The resulting fight would probably cost the DIA key personnel as well as future donations of art and money.
Rosens grand bargain would create an atmosphere where one party after another signs on to Orrs vision.
The more dominoes that start to fall, the more others will get in line, because they dont want to be the last in line, the source with detailed knowledge of proceedings said.

|Does caesarean section provide the best outcome for mother and baby in breech presentation? A perspective from the developing world.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21823847 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|This is a retrospective analysis of vaginal breech delivery from January 2006 to December 2008 at a maternity hospital in New Delhi. The hospital has approximately 6,000 deliveries per year, and serves a low income population. Most patients are unbooked, have had no antenatal care and attend in an advanced stage of labour, delivering within 2-3 h of admission. The mode of delivery for breech presentation is one of the most controversial in modern obstetrics. The impact of a caesarean section involves not only immediate risk but complications in future pregnancies and on health costs. Outcome measures were expressed in terms of Apgar, SCBU admission, intrapartum death and birth trauma. Caesarean sections should be performed in selected cases after full discussion with the patient. We are ignoring maternal risks and concentrating on a small subset to reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Athlete of the Year
June 17, 2013 | 01:26 PM
Hello Dan,
Thank you for putting my Mitchell on the list of Athletes of the Year. It warms my heart to have him on it again this year. Mitchell's love has always been sports, in fact his first word was ball. :) Through out all the years he has played sports, 6th-12th, he has been able to maintain a 4.0 or above grade point average, which has helped him get closer to accomplishing his goal of becoing a Pediatricaian. I am so proud that Mitchell made first team all league in all three of his sports this year, and was asked to play on the San Diego county all star team for volleyball. (His team won 3-0 by the way) I was thrilled that both his water polo and basketball teams were league champions and that all three teams made it to the semi finals in CIF. What I love about Mitchell is that he is a very talented athlete, but yet he loves to befriend, help and encourage anyone and everyone. On the court or in the pool his leadership ability was wonderful to watch, helping team mates and even calming down those that have a short fuse; always more concerned about the teams success then his own. Mitchell has a very humble demeanor and would be the first one to tell you to honor someone else. Besides being a gentle giant, he is very competitive, even in a dodgeball tournament at lunch, jumping over 6'3" Bret Henderson in Powderpuff cheer or especially in Jag Wars, which he has been determined to win and has these last 2 years.
You have an amazing list of ever so talented athletes, and I wish you the best in deciding on just one, tough job! :)
Thanks again for all you do for our kids in keeping us informed on the sport happenings in our wonderful community. We are all so blessed!
Laura Rush

Drew vs. Spalding
When, where: Today, Memorial Stadium, Griffin
Time: 7 p.m.
Last season: Spalding won 21-18 last season.
What's at stake?: This is the Region 4-AAA opener for both teams. With matchups against Sandy Creek, Henry County and Stockbridge still left, neither team wants to fall too far behind in the standings as they make a run for a playoff spot. Both teams are coming off wins last week, so a lack of confidence shouldn't be a factor. Spalding defeated LaGrange 28-21 on a scoring run by freshman Jabril Reid in the closing seconds. Drew defeated Episcopal of Florida 56-28 for its largest margin of victory in school history.
How important is this game?: Aside from it being a region contest, Drew is still in the early building stages of its program. Last season, the Titans knocked off a ranked Eastside team on the road, but was unable to build any momentum the rest of the season. With a senior group, coach Jarrett Laws is looking for some maturity out of this team. In this league, getting a win on the road is crucial.
What to look for?: Will the Titans be focused on this game, or will they be looking ahead to next week's matchup against two-time defending champion Sandy Creek in the Georgia Dome? It will be a contrast of offensive styles between Spalding's triple option offense against the Titans' spread.
Difference makers: Both teams are led by junior quarterbacks. Spalding's Powell Krepps is 3-1 as a starter dating back to last season. Last week, Krepps led the Jaguars to a win against LaGrange to give first-year coach Nick Davis his first win at the school. Jay Murray inherited the Drew job over the summer and has been solid in the Titans first two games in accounting for five touchdowns.
How we see it: It seems that Drew is turning the corner as a program and could be a force to contend with in its second full varsity season. The team has rallied around its first year quarterback, who is playing with a lot of confidence. Team speed is its biggest asset on defense, which has two Div. I prospects in the secondary. Drew should win a close one.
Lovejoy vs. North Clayton
When, where: Today, Tara Stadium, Jonesboro
Time: 7 p.m.
Last season: Lovejoy won 27-21 in overtime. Lovejoy leads all-time series 6-3.
What's at stake?: North Clayton has gotten off to a 2-0 start in the Max Wiltz era, but this will be the Eagles biggest test. They defeated
Riverdale 7-0 in the opener and followed that with a 22-0 win over Mundy's Mill. North Clayton is currently tied with Banneker and Jonesboro for the lead in Region 4-AAAA.
How important is this game?: With the teams playing a 10-game region schedule, every game is important. There is very little room for era or a slip up. Lovejoy, the defending region champion, has won 12 straight regular season games.
What to look for?: This will be an opportunity to see how good North Clayton's defense really is this season. The Eagles have two shutout wins, but neither Riverdale or Mundy's Mill have as much offensive firepower as Lovejoy will bring tonight. With quarterback Alejandro Bennifield pulling the trigger of their spread offensive scheme, the Wildcats have big-play capabilities. North Clayton's offensive line must be able to handle Lovejoy's size up front to not force quarterback Dennis Johnson is into a long passing night.
Difference makers: Lovejoy's talented secondary of Div. I recruits Rico McWilliams and Jermaine Hough will be tested against the Eagles' speed of Malcolm Frederick and La'Darius Mathis. Lovejoy's hybrid receiver Arshad Jackson (6-6, 220) can present matchup problems for the Eagles.
How we see it: Both teams have talented defenses that have speed. North Clayton linebacker Aaron Adwater can cause havoc with the Lovejoy offensive flow. The difference will likely be Lovejoy's size and experience at key position. Lovejoy should pull out another win over the Eagles.

That was proved Sunday at Susquehanna Speedway where it held its inaugural Mother's Day 410 sprint car race. Danny Dietrich was the star as he powered his car to his first victory at the northern York County oval.
Dietrich and Mark Smith, by luck of an inversion, started the 25-lap feature race on the front row. Smith had quick horses available on the green and led the contestants for the initial 10 laps.
Dietrich took the top spot away from Smith on the 11th circuit with Brent Marks of Lebanon sliding into third. The feature went caution free until Jacob Allen slowed with mechanical woes prior to the white-flag round.
The two-lap shootout saw Dietrich holding onto the lead to the win-stripe, followed by Smith, Marks, Fred Rahmer and Jason Leffler.
In the 25-lap late model feature, Randy Stoudt collected the win ahead of Gene Knaub, Justin Earhart, Chase Billet and Larry Baer.
Other Races
At Saturday's 33rd annual Jack Gunn Memorial challenge at Selinsgrove Speedway, track champion Pat Cannon was on his way to another 358 sprint car victory until, with two laps to go, runner-up J.J. Grasso grabbed the lead to the checker for the $3,500 victory. Grasso finished ahead of Cody Keller, Mark Smith, T.J. Stutts and Aaron Ott.
The World of Outlaws sprint cars arrive at Williams Grove Speedway for a two-night contest with the host Pennsylvania Posse 410 sprint cars on Friday and Saturday.

Taylor Swift: I'm not a serial dater
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 03/05/2013 @ 6:33 pm In Diversions | No Comments
(NEWS.com.au) — Taylor Swift has hit back at her image as a boy crazy serial dater because she turns her failed romances into songs.
In a Vanity Fair cover story, Swift says her public image as a lovesick serial dater is far from the truth, and insists she has only dated two boys since 2010 – Conor Kennedy and One Direction's Harry Styles.
"For a female to write about her feelings and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated – a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way – taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist," Swift said.
The singer said avoids the tabloid and celebrity culture, which have turned her into a "cartoon character."

The most affordable hybrid car in Malaysia just got cheaper! The 2013 Honda Jazz Hybrid is now available in CKD form (built in Malaysia, being the first hybrid car produced in Malaysia), priced at RM89,900. It's a RM5k reduction compared to its CBU counterpart, which was previously the lowest priced hybrid car in Malaysia.
The CKD has up to 10% locally sourced parts and the figure is expected to increase gradually in the future. The same Honda 1.3 litre iVTEC + IMA powerplant is used for the Jazz CKD. Minimum changes have been implemented to the exterior of the Jazz Hybrid CKD. Note the slightly different taillight cluster in the CKD compared to the CBU's (see below).
Unfortunately, the CKD has had some features taken off from its list. Features such as cruise control, shift paddle, steering mounted audio button and automatic wipers have been omitted.The S-mode on the gear selection has also been replaced with an L-mode. The signal stalk has also been moved to the right-side instead of left in the CBU model.
Safety wise, the number of airbags have also been reduced to two as opposed to six available in the CBU model. Rear drum brakes have been fitted instead of an all-round disc brake that's available in the CBU and the Hill Start Assist is also gone. Tankfully, Vehicle Stability Assist and the 4 corner reverse sensors have remained on the CKD model. Jazz Hybrid now comes with a three-year or 10,000km warranty, six-month or 10,000km free service and five-year or 140,000km warranty for the IMA battery.
With so many features missing in the Jazz CKD, paying the extra RM5k for the CBU model could be justified. But for those who prefer the Jazz CKD model, don't wait to long, as Honda will stop selling the existing CKD models once they are sold out!

Women's and Gender Studies
Women's and Gender Studies offers students rigorous academic courses that examine and question cultural, biological, political, and social constructions of women and gender.
Women's and Gender Studies examines the world through the lens of gender. Women's and Gender Studies crosses cultures, regions, periods, academic disciplines, and theories in order to study the social roles and sexual identities in the contexts of race, class, and ethnicity, as well as why and how gender has influenced who we are and what we do.
Women's and Gender Studies draws upon methods and content from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, literature and the arts, biology, economics, history, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology. It seeks to extend students' intellectual development by helping them to understand women's accomplishments and capabilities, and by looking beyond the limits of traditional gender-differentiated roles.Read More »

Ten years ago. my husband inherited about a dozen patchwork quilts that his grandmother and great grandmother made by hand as a hobby during and after WWII. I'm a garment sewer not a quilter, but as far as I can tell the quilts are made of a random collection of cotton scrap fabrics, arranged in a simple checkerboard pattern, machine stitched together but hand quilted, with medium quality workmanship. They look nothing like the modern day quilts I have seen in the Nancy's Notions catalog.
To be honest, the quilts are of no sentimental value to me, and they are taking up much needed closet space in my sewing room. I wonder whether they would be worth selling on ebay, or through a local consignment shop, or whether I should simply donate them to Goodwill.
------No sewing project is ever a complete success nor a total failure.
Why not donate them to a local charity, such as Hospice. They love having things like that for the families when they spend time with thier dying loved one.
------Bernina 630, Bernina embroidery module, Pfaff 2036, Bernina 1200DA serger, Unique Sewing Cabinet 450L
There are professional quilt appraisers out there - check with your local quilt guild to see if they have any recommendations. Values for quilts seem to be all over the place depending on age, design and how well the thing has held up. Based on your description I doubt your quilts are worth a ton, but it never hurts to check, and that would allow you to value them appropriately on ebay etc.
------I've moved! Visit my new sewing blog at http://chiralcraft.wordpress.com
Do you sew from KnipMode? Join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/knipmode_english/
Depending on their condition (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor) they might have a value of a few to several hundred dollars, especially since you can document who made then and where they were made. (that adds to the value)
I agree with the suggestion to find a qualified quilt appraiser, and have them appraised. It's worth the fee if you think you might sell them on eBay.
AQS might be able to tell you if there is a certified (by them) quilt appraiser in or near your area. Some people call themselves appraisers, but often it is more hobby than qualified opinion. However,,,, often many of those people know their stuff. If you have a local quilt guild, they might have a member who is very knowledgeable about old quilts.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
http://www.americanquilter.com/quilt_world/appraisers.php is the list for certified appraisers. I have most of my quilts appraised for insurance reasons before I send it to a show, for me is it worth the fee. You are very lucky to have a quilt that has been passed down. My aunt tossed of my great gramma's quilts.
quilts from WWII. those quilts are special. I bet they are still in excellent shape. Back then they made them for there beds not for pleasure of quilting it was a necessity. They used and recycled everything they had. I would sell them on ebay or sell them locally. Just don't give them to goodwill.
If nothing else maybe some of his family will want them.
------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
Thank you for all your suggestions. I'm not sure what I'll do at this point.
You learn something every day on PR. I never knew old quilts had a value. I have a couple of hand pieced ones (grandmother and mother) which I keep for sentimental reasons. I do like the fact that scraps of fabric were used, not specially purchased pieces, and feel that they're like a family scrap book. Looking at them I can see bits of summer curtain fabric we had, and mine and my sister's summer dress fabric, and - great sentimental tear jerker this one - bits of a cotton print which was one of those wrap round aprons housewives always had in WW2, which I remember my mother wearing when I was very young. One of these quilts is pretty worn through in places, but I can't chuck it. They used hexagons, cut the shapes out in brown paper, tacked the fabric round them, then placing RS together whip stitched the line closely.
I agree w the suggestion to get the quilt appraised. I have a friend that had her quilt appraised. It was embroidered as well as quilted, and it came out over $4,000! So don't assume it's worthless.
If you want to donate, you may be able to find a quilt museum that would be happy to receive it.

Reverend Freddie B. Dixon Sr. has served the Austin community for the past 33 years in the capacity of United Methodist minister and elder, and as a board member of several city and nonprofit agencies, including the Capitol Area United Way, Campfire USA Board of Directors and the Austin City Planning Commission. Rev. Dixon is credited with co-founding the Austin Area Urban League and providing leadership in the creation of the magnet school at Kealing Middle School. He has been an active voice for East Austin on many issues. As a diversity and community engagement officer in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, Rev. Dixon has been instrumental in creating several strategic partnerships between the university and community organizations, including special relationships with the African American Men and Boys Harvest Foundation, the Texas Black History Preservation Project and the ProArts Collective.
Huston-Tillotson University – Dr. Larry L. Earvin
This year marks the 135th anniversary of Huston-Tillotson University—the oldest institution for higher education in Austin. The university's roots go back to the founding of Tillotson College, one of the original Historically Black Colleges and Universities established to educate freed slaves. The university now serves 901 students, making this academic year the 11th straight year that enrollment has increased.
Dr. Larry L. Earvin has served as the university's president since 2000. During his tenure,
Dr. Earvin has facilitated the name change from Huston-Tillotson College to Huston-Tillotson University. He has upgraded science laboratories, renovated residence halls and established an honors program. He has also successfully raised millions of dollars for scholarships and building renovations. The university is undertaking its first new construction in 1974, building a new Health and Wellness Center.
Earlier this year the Board of Trustees extended Dr. Earvin's contract for another five years, allowing him more time to work on his personal goal of increasing the enrollment of Huston-Tillotson.
ProArts Collective – Lisa Byrd
ProArts Collective was co-founded in 1993 by well known local actor, producer and director Boyd Vance. ProArts was founded for the promotion, production and preservation of African American theatre arts. Several years later, the organization began providing African-American theater artists in Austin with much-needed services such as networking, administrative consultation, production and fiscal management, and referrals for theater and film production.
Currently, ProArts is dedicated to fostering artistic expression representing the African Diaspora and is dedicated to the production of works for the enrichment of the community. ProArts has a full calendar of art activities, including arts programs in local area schools and an annual African American dance festival. The collective and its sister organization, the African American Arts Technical Resource Center, have been led by Lisa Byrd since 2005. Ms. Byrd was formerly the production director at Ballet Austin. She has been an active leader and advocate for the Austin African American Cultural Heritage District and a board member for the Austin Revitalization Authority.
SANDE Youth Project – Toni Tipton-Martin
SANDE is a nonprofit mentoring and training program that seeks to enrich the lives of young people and their families through culture, cuisine and community. The organization focuses on combating childhood hunger, obesity and disease by teaching basic cooking skills and nutrition to at-risk young people and their families while instilling core values in the areas of Spirit, Attitude, Nutrition, Deeds and Emotions. Through a community partnership and pilot program at The University of Texas Elementary School, SANDE looks to expand the efforts of the school's Healthy Families Initiative with organic gardening, nutrition and cooking activities.
SANDE was founded by chef and journalist Toni Tipton-Martin, who is also dedicated to educating the community about the rich culinary and cultural heritage of African Americans. Ms. Tipton-Martin was one of the chefs invited to the White House last summer to join First Lady Michelle Obama's launch of the project Chefs Move to Schools, part of a larger initiative to raise a healthier generation of kids.
Dr. Charles Akins
Dr. Charles Akins is the product of Austin public schools. He attended Blackshear Elementary, Kealing Junior High and L. C. Anderson High School. He attended Huston-Tillotson College and began his teaching career in 1956. In 1964 he became the first African American teacher in newly desegregated Johnston High School. Dr. Akins was the first African American to serve as an official for the Texas relays, and in 1968 he became a sports newscaster for KLRN—now KLRU—in an effort to integrate broadcast television in Central Texas.
In 1973 he became the first principal of the new L.C. Anderson High School during one of the most turbulent social periods in Austin history—the implementation of federally-mandated school busing for racial integration. His leadership there until 1982 paved the way for all Austin schools to create communities in which diversity is valued, expectations are high for all children, and opportunities for students and staff to achieve at their fullest potential are offered. Because of his service and dedication to students in AISD, the Board of Trustees voted to name Austin's newest high school in his honor. W. Charles Akins High School opened in 2000.
Dr. A. L. Mackey
Dr. Audrey L. Mackey has been a full-time member of the biology faculty at Austin Community College since August 1976. He received his bachelor's degree from Huston-Tillotson University and his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin. Honored by the City of Austin for community service, Dr. Mackey has served as a long-term volunteer, officer or board member in numerous civic and educational organizations, including the Huston-Tillotson University International Alumni Association; Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; Meals on Wheels; the Maggie Johnson Nursing Center; the NAACP and the Friends of Carver Volunteer Support Group. He is also involved in his church ministry, mentoring youth and serving as an advocate for services to the elderly.
Dr. General Marshall
Although Dr. General Marshall has had a distinguished career on the faculty of Huston-Tillotson University, his true love is golf. During the late 1940's and early 1950's, before African Americans were allowed to play local courses, he was a caddy at Lions Municipal. It was with the utmost pride.
Dr. Marshall witnessed the integration of that golf course in 1951. He played his first round of golf there in 1952 and was recently named one of the "Legends of Lions."
Dr. Marshall was not only a mathematics professor at Huston-Tillotson but was also the golf coach from 1971-1981. He served as chair of the Division of Natural Sciences from 1981 until his retirement in 2001, and received Huston Tillotson's Teaching Excellence Award in 1992 and 2000. He is a member of the Austin Revitalization Authority, which has been instrumental in helping to draw businesses to the 11th Street corridor in East Austin.
Dr. Bertha Means

Dr. Means also had a direct role in the integration of athletics at The University of Texas at Austin when she conferred with Regent Frank Erwin on behalf of her son regarding the integration of athletics. In 1963, James Means Jr. became the first Black letterman at the university, which led to the integration of the Southwest Conference.
Dr. Means has received numerous honors including the first Arthur B. DeWitty Human Relations award presented by the Austin Branch of the NAACP in 1966, the Whitney M. Young Jr. Leadership Award from the Austin Area Urban League in 2008, and the Texas NAACP Heroes Award in 2010 for heroic deeds and service in advancing civil rights, liberty and justice.
Mr. Edward Roby

He currently serves as the organization's executive director, working to honor the achievements of coaches and athletes from Texas' historically African American high schools and educate the public about their contributions. Mr. Roby was a teacher, coach, coordinator, supervisor, manager and assistant director of athletics for 36 years in the Moody and Austin Independent School Districts. He was inducted into the Prairie View Interscholastic League Hall of Fame in 2005, Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and L. C. Anderson High School Hall of Fame in 2009.
Coach Beverly Kearney
One of the most successful and decorated coaches across all of collegiate athletics, Beverly Kearney is in her 18th season as the women's track and field and cross country head coach at The University of Texas at Austin. She has a passion and a gift for coaching and mentoring that has inspired some of the finest athletes, including 12 Olympians.

The Nursing Council has sent out circulars to stakeholders informing them of the decisions taken by the Council at its recent meeting:
For further information, please see the following circulars:
Fee Changes (including Annual and Restoration Fees for 2015)
30 July 2014
South African Nursing Council has published the latest fee amounts payable to the Council in Board Notice 86 of 2014. For full details, see the board notice in Government Gazette 37880 dated 30 July 2014.
Details of Annual and Restoration Fees for 2015 are given below for your information.
Annual Fees for 2015
The annual fees for the calendar year 2015 can be paid from 1 July 2014. (Please note that Annual Practising Certificates for 2015 will only be issued at the Council offices from 1 August 2014 onwards.)
The Nursing Council allows practitioners who will be 60 years of age or older on 1 January 2015 a discount on the Annual Fees (depending on their age on that date). This is intended to permit practitioners who may have retired to keep their name on the register should they wish. Having their name on the register will enable such practitioners to work on a part-time basis or to assist with local or national needs or programmes in a temporary capacity if called upon to do so. Please note that the Nursing Council has decided to grant a discount based on the ages indicated rather than retirement status because there is not a standard retirement age in South Africa.
The 2015 annual fee amounts for the different categories are set out in the table below.
The annual fees for 2015 have been published in Government Gazette 37880 dated 30 July 2014.
Restoration Fees effective from 1 January 2015
The restoration fees will increase on 1 January 2015.
The restoration fee amounts for the different categories are set out in the table below.
The restoration fees for 2015 have been published in Government Gazette 37880 dated 30 July 2014.

Panel: Smith Bay community group's effort to curb area crime should start with youth
Published: June 18, 2014
Font size: [A] [A] [A]
ST. THOMAS - The Smith Bay Community Action Commission met with local law enforcement leaders on Tuesday night at the Smith Bay Business Center to discuss ways to improve crime rates within their own neighborhood and elsewhere in the territory.
The theme that seemed to keep popping up: Start with the youth.
"The turning around part is not that hard," said Scott Bradley, founder of My Brother's Workshop, a St. Thomas nonprofit that helps at-risk youth. "I've worked with kids who have shot people five times and kids who have been shot five times."
Bradley was one member of a panel who answered questions proposed by about two dozen community members from Smith Bay, other parts of the island and a few even from St. Croix.
The V.I. Police Department, U.S. Attorney's Office, the V.I. Housing Authority and CrimeStoppers USVI also were represented.
"A lot of these individuals need a lot more love shown to them," said St. Thomas-St. John Police Chief Darren Foy. "Everything starts at home, and everything ends at home."
Community members suggested that community leaders encourage more government funding to programs aimed toward rewarding and encouraging youth, especially ones that give them more outlets to express themselves.
Julia Landos Jean-Baptiste suggested creating spoken word poetry programs in the schools; Walter Brown suggested reform schools for at-risk youth; and Paul Lockhart suggested that the government better fund existing programs that are proving successful already.
While many of the people were former or current politicians or political hopefuls, Smith Bay Community Action Commission Vice President Samuel Rey said that any involvement in the area is welcome and appreciated.
"Smith Bay has been known as a criminal place," Rey said, noting that it has seen a lot of improvement since the community action commission began three years ago.
However, Smith Bay is not the only community that is having these talks.
The panel is part of an ongoing effort, Project Safe Neighborhoods, which is a collaboration between local and federal law enforcement, as well as other community groups, to end gun violence.
Though Project Safe Neighborhoods is a national program, it began in the territory only in 2003. The community involvement meetings began in 2010.
The panel addresses recurring questions, many of which pertain to the shortage of police officers overall, the shortage of police officers on foot and the lack of trust between officers and the public.
On Tuesday, community members also addressed sentencing policies, asking primarily about statutes concerning the possession of unlicensed firearms.
"The penalties for having an unlicensed firearm are pitiful," said V.I. Police Detective Mark Joseph.
Joseph said that it is of the utmost importance that the community start taking possession of unlicensed firearms more seriously.
"We need to have the authority to go up to any person who we see with a gun on their person and ask them to produce a license," Joseph said.
Sen. Judi Buckley, a founding member of CrimeStoppers USVI, explained to the audience that those who help law enforcement do not have to do so directly and can contact the CrimeStoppers USVI instead.
The all-volunteer group takes anonymous tips, she explained, though still is able to grant rewards if those tips lead to the seizure of property or an arrest.
"To this date, no tipster has ever been discovered because of a fault in the CrimeStoppers system," Buckley said. "We put a lot of money in people's pockets."

Don't enjoy life's pleasures. Taking pleasure in things like food, wine, music, and beauty is for flighty, shallow people. Tell yourself that. If you inadvertently find yourself enjoying some flavor, song, or work of art, remind yourself immediately that these are transitory pleasures, which can't compensate for the miserable state of the world. The same applies to nature. If you accidentally find yourself enjoying a beautiful view, a walk on the beach, or a stroll through a forest, stop! Remind yourself that the world is full of poverty, illness, and devastation. The beauty of nature is a deception.
Exercise: Once a week, engage in an activity that's supposed to be enjoyable, but do so while thinking about how pointless it is. In other words, concentrate on removing all sense of pleasure from the pleasurable activity.
Ruminate. Spend a great deal of time focused on yourself. Worry constantly about the causes of your behavior, analyze your defects, and chew on your problems. This will help you foster a pessimistic view of your life. Don't allow yourself to become distracted by any positive experience or influence. The point is to ensure that even minor upsets and difficulties appear huge and portentous.
You can ruminate on the problems of others or the world, but make them about you. Your child is sick? Ruminate on what a burden it is for you to take time off from work to care for her. Your spouse is hurt by your behavior? Focus on how terrible it makes you feel when he points out how you make him feel. By ruminating not only on your own problems but also those of others, you'll come across as a deep, sensitive thinker who holds the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Exercise: Sit in a comfortable chair and seek out negative feelings, like anger, depression, anxiety, boredom, whatever. Concentrate on these feelings for 15 minutes. During the rest of the day, keep them in the back of your mind, no matter what you're doing.
Glorify or vilify the past. Glorifying the past is telling yourself how good, happy, fortunate, and worthwhile life was when you were a child, a young person, or a newly married person—and regretting how it's all been downhill ever since. When you were young, for example, you were glamorous and danced the samba with handsome men on the beach at twilight; and now you're in a so-so marriage to an insurance adjuster in Topeka. You should've married tall, dark Antonio. You should've invested in Microsoft when you had the chance. In short, focus on what you could've and should've done, instead of what you did. This will surely make you miserable.
Vilifying the past is easy, too. You were born in the wrong place at the wrong time, you never got what you needed, you felt you were discriminated against, you never got to go to summer camp. How can you possibly be happy when you had such a lousy background? It's important to think that bad memories, serious mistakes, and traumatic events were much more influential in forming you and your future than good memories, successes, and happy events. Focus on bad times. Obsess about them. Treasure them. This will ensure that, no matter what's happening in the present, you won't be happy.
Exercise: Make a list of your most important bad memories and keep it where you can review it frequently. Once a week, tell someone about your horrible childhood or how much better your life was 20 years ago.
Find a romantic partner to reform. Make sure that you fall in love with someone with a major defect (cat hoarder, gambler, alcoholic, womanizer, sociopath), and set out to reform him or her, regardless of whether he or she wants to be reformed. Believe firmly that you can reform this person, and ignore all evidence to the contrary.
Exercise: Go to online dating sites and see how many bad choices you can find in one afternoon. Make efforts to meet these people. It's good if the dating site charges a lot of money, since this means you'll be emotionally starved and poor.
Be critical. Make sure to have an endless list of dislikes and voice them often, whether or not your opinion is solicited. For example, don't hesitate to say, "That's what you chose to wear this morning?" or "Why is your voice so shrill?" If someone is eating eggs, tell them you don't like eggs. Your negativity can be applied to almost anything.
It helps if the things you criticize are well liked by most people so that your dislike of them sets you apart. Disliking traffic and mosquitos isn't creative enough: everyone knows what it's like to find these things annoying, and they won't pay much attention if you find them annoying, too. But disliking the new movie that all your friends are praising? You'll find plenty of opportunities to counter your friends' glowing reviews with your contrarian opinion.

With so many new faces and so little time to prepare for the NHL's lockout-truncated season, the Wild knew they could be at a disadvantage early as players got comfortable.
But the reality of the NHL's 48-game schedule is that while the Wild want to keep from panicking, they don't have the luxury of time -- which is why a day before starting a crucial nine-game stretch, it certainly appeared they were headed for a shakeup.
Coach Mike Yeo moved Dany Heatley off the top line for the Wild's practice on Wednesday, Feb. 6, putting rookie forward Charlie Coyle with Mikko Koivu and Zach Parise. Yeo also had Mikael Granlund and Devin Setoguchi alternating on the third line, which could mean one of the struggling forwards will sit out Thursday, Feb. 7, against the Vancouver Canucks.
Though Yeo said the changes were just for practice, it's hard to see the Wild not using some of them against Vancouver.
They certainly have reason to explore a new look after scoring just two goals combined in a pair of West Coast losses. Those defeats, against Anaheim and Phoenix, dropped the Wild to 4-4-1 as they prepare for seven Northwest Division matchups in their next nine games. They'll hit the quarter pole of the shortened season Monday, so moves that normally would be forestalled in a full season are happening now.
"There's probably a little bit more urgency every game," Yeo said. "Points are more critical now than, you could argue, they would be (normally). That's not necessarily true, but it's magnified.
"Normally, we've played nine games and you have more time to sort things out."
Heatley had thrived in his first few games with Parise and Koivu, scoring a pair of power-play goals in the Wild's first game and adding four more points in their next four. But he's taken just five shots in four games since, and Yeo put him with Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Matt Cullen on Wednesday in hopes that the big forward could click with a pair of playmakers.
"(Yeo) talked about making a change, I think, last week," Heatley said. "I wouldn't say it was unexpected. I'm playing with two real creative guys, so hopefully we can get something going."
There is an inherent danger in putting too much stock in new lines for a hockey team; lineups can change several shifts into a game, and Yeo wouldn't guarantee Wednesday that the Wild would use their prospective lineup against the Canucks.
But the mere possibility of a switch indicates how soon the Wild believe they need to react; ever since they signed Parise and Ryan Suter on July 4, they had been planning on Granlund as their second-line center and dreaming about how Parise could draw defensive attention away from Heatley.
And though it's possible a winning streak, or more changes, could be just around the corner, the Wild don't have the luxury of waiting for things to fall into place.
"There are a lot of things that have to happen before a scoring chance is created. Those are the things we're not doing as well as we need to right now," Parise said.
"Sometimes we're throwing pucks away in the offensive zone when we don't need to. We've got to get point shots through, get rebounds. Not too often do you beat goalies clean in this league. ... There's probably about 10 things that have to happen before a goal is scored, and we're not doing those well enough."

November 25, 2015
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- More than a dozen abandoned oil and gas wells in the Big South Fork Park will be plugged this spring and summer with federal funds through a cooperative agreement with the Tennessee Department of Conservation.
The well plugging project is the largest such effort ever undertaken by a national park in the United States.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports there are more than 250 private oil and gas wells scattered throughout the Big South Fork's 125,000 acres that geologists say were dug during the oil and gas booms in the 1970s and 1980s.
During a recent morning, workers prepared to pump cement slurry into a well that was still pumping out a steady flow of natural gas.
