The "Daily Word from the Word" blog is meant to provide encouragement through receiving, believing, and standing on the Promises of God found in His Written Word, The Bible. In these times we live in, people need encouragement and hope now, not at a later time. People need a "right-now" Word for today from a "Right-now" God. My prayer is that these inspired messages of encouragement from God's Word will be that and more for you. "For all the promises of God in Him are 'Yes', and in Him 'Amen', to the glory of God through us." – 2 Corinthians 1:20
A Daily Word from the Word for Tuesday, May 21, 2013
"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." – Isaiah 40:31

I was especially blessed how my spiritual sons honored me by celebrating my 44th birthday with me. I consider speaking into their lives, covering them in prayer, and helping to guide them, a profound honor and privilege.I have posted some of my pictures with my spiritual sons celebrating my 44th birthday! Click on the link below to enjoy these and many other scrapbook moments. Please also prayerfully consider making a tax-deductible donation to our organization. We are adopting, raising, and standing in the gap for our spiritual sons who never experienced the love, guidance, and direction of a natural father. Sow a seed into our mighty young men of valor, and watch how God blesses you because you honored His children! Thank you and God bless you. www.remnantofvalor.org/Scrapbook.htmlNow on to today's Word!While I was on my computer this morning (this will be yesterday morning by the time you read this), and printing some documents, I clicked on the "OK" button that popped up to notify me of a printing error. In fact, I had become accustom to this error message, as it manifests every time I print something; and am embarrassed to say it has been going on for some years now.As I clicked on the customary message this time, I felt the Lord speaking to my spirit saying "why do My children settle, by accepting the everyday errors in their lives as normal?" God, of course, is always right, and I am so grateful to my Holy and Perfect Father for constantly pouring out His revelation to all of us.We have become so accustom to error messages, that we not only accept them, but we expect them. In the same way we casually click on the error messages on our systems, we click "OK" to the everyday error messages that have become part of our daily lives! Why do we? This, my brothers and sisters, is called settling. And God wants us, His sons and daughters, to start soaring. When we are stuck in the traffic of settling, we can't even get to the runway to begin our journey of soaring in God's best.I am declaring that settling ends today, family! It ends for me, and it ends for you! Declare it with me! Speak it out! Rebuke settling for second best, and call in soaring in God's best!The Hebrew word for "soar" as used in this verse is alah (pr. aw-law), which means "to ascend, mount, arise, cause to burn, cut off, recover, restore, stir up" (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance). What things that you have been settling for, and are keeping you from receiving and walking in God's best, do you need to burn down to the ground, my brother? What relationships, which are keeping you down and preventing you from rising up and ascending, do you need to cut off, my sister?Allow God's Holy Spirit to stir up His Word inside of you so that you can mount up, arise, and soar high above the clouds, where the wind of God's best will always carry you to new places in Him.Father, forgive us for settling when You have called us to soar. Forgive us for accepting second best when You have prepared Your best for us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us, High God, to forsake settling and to embrace soaring. Stir us up with your Word and by Your Holy Spirit, so we no longer settle. In Jesus Name, we thank You that we soar continuously and effortlessly on Your wings of plenty. Amen and Amen!Take action! Challenge your thinking! Choose to forsake settling and embrace soaring. Choose to reject the errors of the world for the perfection of the Father. Choose to put away settling for second best, and put on walking in Your Father's best. Choose to reject the rags of unworthiness for the robe of righteousness, which is the Blood of Jesus Christ. And continue to fight the good fight of soaring on wings of eagles; for God, your Golden Ticket, has already given you the victory!If you have never received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do it today, right now, by saying this prayer out loud: "Jesus, forgive me for my sins. I am sorry. I truly desire to be saved and reconciled back to God, my Father, through You. I receive Your sinless Blood as payment in full for my sins—past, present, and future. I now call You my Lord and Savior, and invite You to live within my heart, and to permanently live within me. I make You Lord over me and over my life from this moment on. Amen." Congratulations! You are now a child of God, made whole and made new, by the Blood of Jesus Christ!God tells us that we are blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2). Be a blessing to someone by sending them this word of encouragement. If God did not already put someone in your spirit and on your heart that needs to read this uplifting message from above, simply ask your Heavenly Father who to bless on today. Forward this message right now by email, facebook, or twitter.Jesus is coming soon!May God Bless you and keep you always.With warmest regards,And, in service of The Most High King,firstname.lastname@example.com© 2013.Receive other messages of encouragement by 'liking' HMD Ministries on facebook at www.facebook.com/hmdministries

Ravens observations
By Jason Cole, Yahoo Sports
August 4, 2006
WESTMINSTER, Md. – The Baltimore Ravens are facing a potentially big problem with wide receiver Mark Clayton, the team's first-round pick in 2005. The issue is significant enough that the Ravens have discussed making an offer for Broncos wide receiver Ashley Lelie and will likely look into acquiring Oakland's Jerry Porter.
Clayton is still suffering from a nagging hamstring injury that bugged him for most of last season. He had 44 catches despite the problem, but he has already missed time in the first week of training camp. Clayton is critical for the Ravens because he is the only receiver with proven ability to turn a short pass into a game-breaker.
Clayton didn't practice Wednesday and left practice early to see a doctor. His explanation was that he has an "alignment" problem with his back and torso.
Coach Brian Billick thinks Clayton will eventually find a training and stretching routine to deal with the injury. That sounds good and all, but finding such solutions in training camp is never easy.
Billick thinks even he was guilty of a Pollyanna approach to last season, when Lewis was both recovering from injury and serving prison time.
"I probably lead the list of people who were naive enough to think he could rehab and be in prison, basically miss training camp and come in and have a good year," Billick said. "That was asking too much and I was as guilty as anyone saying, 'Yeah, yeah, he'll be fine.' "
"He's here now and we can look at the other side and not have a guy who has to catch on to the system of the NFL and learn the speed of the NFL. We don't have to do that now," Lewis said. "We have an MVP on our team, we have a warrior, we have a leader. We have that all on one side of the ball and that's something we have never had around here for 11 years and that's frustrating.
"For me to hold that in for 11 years, I think I've been pretty good. I'm telling you it was starting to wear and tear. And when you're removed from it, that's when you really start to tell, sit back and say, "Wow.' It was simple for me and it was like I expressed to the owner, 'I'm only here for one reason – to win. That's it.' "
Count Billick among the positive thinkers.
"Is he pissed off? Sure he is. Is he dysfunctional or disruptive? No," Billick said of Boller. "He is developing a relationship with Steve, he's working hard and his whole attitude is that when he gets his opportunity, he's going to make the most of it in a very positive, upbeat way."
Boller finished a recent practice with two interceptions and nearly a third pick on his final four passes. However, Billick said the reason was that the same young receiver kept making mistakes on different plays.

Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
Yes, it is soon that time of the year again:bolian::cool:...Eurovision!:rommie:
Because Germany won last year, they contest will be naturally held in Dussedorf, Germany on 10th( first semi), 12th(second semi) and 14th of May( the grande finale):)
We will certainly see a big show from the Germans!:techman:
Here the playlits to all the songs of this years competition, from the official ESC youtube channel:
1st Semi-Final:
2nd Semi-Final:
Songs already in the Final:
This years overall quality is around 3/5, though there is some nice gems of 5/5 there also:bolian:..and like every year some really horrible stinkers:lol::wtf:
My personal favorites are: Norway, Hungary, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belarus, Slovenia..and few others.
(Belarus is "guilty pleasure" to many:D)
If it would be up to me Hungary would win the whole contest this year, it is the best song, IMHO:
I have a feeling that this year there will more tighter competition of the winner. Most likely 3-5 songs will have a big fight of who will be the ultimate winner.
Though its difficult to predict how the juries and the general public will vote;)
Listen the songs:techman:
What is your personal Top 5?
Who will get to the final..and who does not?
Who do you think will win:)?
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
I'll make sure I have plans for the 14th, to avoid this so called music contest. Really its almost a joke, it was only saved from farce by a slight change oin the voting system last year(?). And besides it's not the same now that Wogan isn't providing commentary.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
Well, from the few I've listened to, it seems the quality of the contest is so much higher than last year. Last year, I only enjoyed Greece and Azerbaijan. Even Lena was quite boring for me.
My top 5... From what I've listened to... Sweden, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Belarus, and the UK.
(Yes, I'm biased, but it's actually an amazing song this time, by someone who's had a hit before in the UK. The past few years, we've only sent some nobody with a mediocre song nobody knows, and then we're surprised when we come last.
I Can has just been released in the UK, and it's already in the top 20 on Itunes. I think we could get top 5... hopefully)
Agreed on Hungary and Belarus. The latter screams guilty pleasure (like Greece was last year), and Hungary is brilliant from one listen, and so is Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani keep making good songs.
Sweden's also quite popular, :rofl:. I think they could be a bit of a dark horse.
Russia, Azerbaijan, Sweden, Hungary, and Georgia should get to the final. I wouldn't be surprised if Ireland doesn't make it. I mean... Jedward? :wtf:
As for who'll win, I couldn't call. I'd love the UK to win (It's been too long), but I don't see any of the other big 5's getting close. Lena won once, I don't think she'll repeat the feat. Hopefully Hungary or Sweden will win.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
On the behalf of the people of Ireland, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for our entry and I completely understand any desire for genocide that it may bring against our ethnicity.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
I would listen to the songs, but I prefer to be shocked and awed on the night. :D
The night being the night after, as we have to wait 12 hours in Oz. :(
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
So we won't get votes like, Greece giving Cyprus 12 and vice versa?
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
As with Australis I prefer to wait to see them perform it live at the show and judge them then.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
Well, I'm giving this a bump, as it's the first semi starting in an hour. You know, in case anyone's interested in the likes of Macedonia and Malta's dire entries.
Unfortunately, it clashes with the Apprentice, and my favourite songs are in the latter half, so Hungary and Azerbaijan had better get through. (I'd be massively surprised if they didn't)
Re: waiting until the contest to hear the songs, songs are rarely good for me on first listen, so I'll enjoy the contest a lot more with songs I know playing.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
Second place would be nice. I don't want to win, that means we have to host the bloody thing, and as well as being a waste of money, we'd insist on making it good which would just ruin it.
ETA: Just watched Germany's entry.
I'll be in my bunk.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
Well I decided to watch the Apprentice
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
^I watched the Apprentice too. I only turned on the semi in the lead up.
Anyway, 1st semi over.
Through are:
Serbia :)
Azerbaijan :adore:
Russia - :)
Iceland (why? :wtf:)
Norway and Turkey shockingly didn't go through. Especially Norway, they were brilliant.
Oh well, on to the next semi.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
I am in Germany on Saturday visiting my girlfriend but we are out..... however she is recording the whole dam thing. Last years winner (who is also again representing Germany this year) has not done a lot since winning. Her tour has been such a big flop that a company had buy a lot of the tickets and give them away and the venues still were not full.
I thought the Finland song sounded OK for Eurovision but the singer seemed a bit of a tool.
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
The 1st Semi was not bad at all, though I have to say that there was many songs that where not my personal favorites.
Some very big surprises:eek: in the end results.
Turkey and Armenia where out from the final. Surprising, but I think it will do good for both to sit on the sidelines for a moment.
(Turkey performed well, but Armenias vocals where quite bad)
I was very sad that Norway did not make it to the final:borg:
Here is short review of the songs that made it to the Grand Finale:
Serbia: One of my favorites.
Very positive song, with lots of nice 1960s retro vibes.
Nina performed well and her vocals where great.
Lithuania: This going to the finale surprised many. It was joked that her cleavage was the reason, but while I agree that the she has nice..eh..curves:alienblush:, IMHO it was her nice vocals and beautiful overall performance that got this to the final.
Greece: I dont like this so much, the rap-parts are bad..but at least it sounded Greek enough.
Azerbaijan: One of the favorites for winning, this one. I am not sure what to think about this one, its a fine pop-song but it is also somewhat cheesy.:confused:
Georgia: This was the another rock-song in the semi and it seems people like this more than Turkeys.
Hungary: Second of my favorites. One of the best songs in the contest:) and the performance was very good. This is one of the favorites for winning the whole contest.
Switzerland: Nice song with sweet performer.
Finland: I am from Finland, so naturally happy that this made it to the final,:lol: not without merit however. Strong vocals, nice song with a message.
Russia : Meh:rolleyes:...I have to say that I do notreally like this one..and I find the singer somehow annoying. Will compete with Sweden from points.
Iceland: More and more ppl seem to like this, for me it is way too dull. I agree it is well performed..but thats about it.
The stage looked great from TV:cool:..and the audience gave applause to everyone, more to some naturally.
The German hosts where quite bad..with stupid jokes.
Is it soooo difficult to find some good hosts for ESC,
I mean in the USA they usually have good ones in the Oscars and other galas..why cant we have some good ones on ESC:scream:
I am not saying that there cant be humour, if its good.
The second semi final will be tomorrow, on the 12th:bolian:
Very difficult to say who will go to finals, especially after yesterday:confused:
Here is still a list of all the songs of the 2nd semi with my short reviews with numbers (from the scale 1-5), my personal favorites in bold:)( based mostly on music videos, naturally):
Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 (Düsseldorf, Germany)
It wouldn't be Eurovision without bad jokes and hosts. Prior to the recent vote change from all tele-vote to a split jury/televote system. Eurovision had become a joke in many of the Western European Nations. With what was considered bloc voting.

The music interface uses the same ugly style of graphics as the navigation system, but again, it is a very intuitive and usable interface. It does a good job of presenting music on MP3 CDs loaded in its six-disc changer, or letting you sift through satellite radio categories. But we didn't spend much time listening to those sources, as its MP3 player integration is so good. We plugged in a Zune and an iPod Nano, and got the same excellent functionality with both. Touching the music library button on the screen let us browse artists, albums, genres, playlists, and songs from our MP3 player. A button labeled Similar Music set Sync to create a never-ending playlist on the fly, based on what it thinks are similar songs to what's currently playing. In practice, we didn't find Sync's DJ work to be all that accurate, and we don't like that it stops the current song to start the new one when you hit the button, but it works OK as a somewhat random playlist.
We weren't terribly impressed by the audio quality in the Edge. The music was loud enough, and a subwoofer in the cargo area adds some good bass, but separation is very poor, leading to a generally muted sound. You won't hear glistening highs or thumping lows with this system.
In our tech test, we covered some features of Sync's Bluetooth cell phone integration. Sync is compatible with a much wider array of phones when it comes to basic features, such as downloading phonebooks and call history. Those features alone put it in with the top systems we've seen from BMW and Audi, but what puts it over the top is how you can use voice commands, speaking any name in your phonebook to make a call. Sync also displays phonebook entries on its screen, so you can choose any contact from the LCD.
Under the hood
The brawny exterior styling of the 2008 Ford Edge seems to make up for the fact that it's not an SUV and hints at its trucklike driving experience. Although the Edge is built on a car platform, it doesn't feel nimble. Plenty of oversteer makes lane changes and other maneuvers a deliberate affair. The 3.5-liter V-6 moves it forward well, but doesn't give a huge push. It boasts 265 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 250 foot-pounds of torque at 4,500 rpm, a decent amount for a car of this size. But the six-speed automatic it's mated to keeps the Edge from spending too much time in the high-rpm zone. And although there is a low range on the transmission, there is no manual gear selection.
We slugged the Edge around a few mountain roads, seeing how it performed at a brisk clip around the corners. The vehicle stayed reasonably planted as we cut through the turns, its all-wheel drive no doubt adding some traction. We didn't push it beyond its grip on the road, as the Edge feels too heavy and high up for that kind of behavior, beginning to deliver disconcerting body roll as the corners get harder.
For fuel economy, the EPA rates the 2008 Ford Edge Limited with all-wheel drive at 15mpg city and 22mpg highway. During our time with the car, the meter barely budged from 16.8 mpg. This isn't a great number, and we would like to see the Edge push closer to 20 mpg, in the range of other V-6 cars we've tested. But even though its fuel economy isn't great, its emissions aren't bad, with a ULEV II rating from California's Air Resources Board.
In sum
Our 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD comes in with a base price of $32,070, putting it over the $30,000 mark without options. Our option list included the $395 tow package, $1,995 for navigation, and $1,395 for that nice Vista roof. We also had 20-inch wheels for $895, Sirius satellite radio for $195, and a power liftgate for $490. Sync comes standard at the Limited trim. These options, with the $705 destination charge, bring the total for our Edge up to $38,140, territory that seems a bit high for the Edge. As a point of comparison, the seven-passenger Ford Taurus X goes for about the same price, although we don't care for its body style.
For our ratings, the Edge earns an average score for performance. It's not great, but not bad, and its low fuel economy is made up for by its emissions rating. Sync keeps its cabin tech score above average, as few cars have the capabilities this system offers. As for design, we like the looks of the Edge, and the interior space is very functional.

The Golden Globes Red Carpet: Ginnifer Goodwin
by Fashion

Ginnifer Goodwin, wearing copper, a nod to Halle Berry from the People's Choice Awards, doesn't look too happy to be on the red carpet. Could it be because her satin dress is already wrinkled? What do you think of her D&G dress?

Her make up looks fine, bit too casual though. her hair, make up and dress clash overall. the length of the dress is another DON'T-- neither here nor there. WEIRD.

I actually like it. It needs to be either shorter or longer, and the shoes could use a rethink, but it's not over done, it's a very flattering color, and it's not white or grecian. And her earrings are too cool. Thumbs up!

People may not be (yet) buying new cars online but they sure spend a lot of time and energy researching their future purchases online. Remember the old cars salesman stereotype? Forget it. The new cars salesmen is the guy with the most positive online reviews, a stellar social media presence, hired by the friendliest dealership in town and quick to respond to his customers' questions.
Speaking of customers – those looking into buying a new car are in the market for roughly 5.3 months, as shown in this Cars.com research. During these months they check out:
Now when it comes to dealerships – you can be sure that by the time a customer sets foot in one he has probably read everything available online on:
Sometimes potential customers don't even bother visiting their local dealerships if online reviews are not good enough. A curated online presence can do miracles for dealers as long as their service matches their marketing. Good service and reliability are still the most important factors when deciding what and where to buy. Recent online developments just make it easy for customers to find out the good and the bad about dealers and cars.
We all know how important photos are when buying cars. 63% of potential car buyers make their first steps towards a purchasing decision based on photos and other media. However, no dealer is going to make them pay unless esthetics are backed up by great reviews on reliability (52% new car buyers showed interest), features/colors (51%) and safety information (49%).
As mobile is quickly revolutionizing every aspect of our lives we were bound to use them on the spot, in dealerships, when making our final decisions. If you've used your smartphone in the dealership you can rest assured you are not alone – 43% of customers visiting dealers use their mobile device. Most frequent uses during dealership visits are targeted at:
So price checking really matters when visiting the dealer. It's not a secret that any dealership will try to maximize its margin but that seems to be harder and harder with everconnected consumers.
Much more than this – customers will also check for user generated content on the spot. 79% of new car buyers value user generated reviews , as this CapGemini report shows.
The same report outlines some of the media channels buyers will scan to form an opinion. The big take away from the info below is that social media outlets (for both manufacturers and dealers) really matter when forming an opinion. Make sure that they are well set up and properly maintained.
There is a growing need for connected cars. I wrote about it a couple of months ago and now, with the new iOS 7 and recent developments in smartphone manufacturing customers seem to be getting what they want, when it comes to in-car smartphone support:
A big shift in car buying, especially when it comes to online-related purchases is the fact that women seem to be more and more engaged.
What has been looked at as a traditionally male influenced industry is shifting by the day and internet plays a large part in this shift. Women are big spenders when it comes to auto: they spend more than $200 billion yearly on new cars and car – care. They also influence over 80% of all new car purchases and account for almost 65% of all car service work done on dealerships.
These are some really, really big numbers and they just keep on increasing as women feel empowered to negotiate their prices behind a computer screen. Once a somewhat biased industry, the auto dealerships are leveled fields for both men and women and purchasing can now be fun and engaging for women. Feel like reading a little more about it? Check out Libby Copeland's experience with buying a car online here.
In the end remember that:
The internet connected car has been a great concept for quite some time now. As 3G connections become more and more popular and 3G coverage extends to even the most remote areas car manufacturers have seriously taken into account adding internet to your car.
iSuppli's telematics analyst Richard Robinson expects 25% of all cars to be internet connected in the next 5 years. Changes in auto industry in-car entertainment are expected to be as great as changes in entertainment post and pre dial-up internet connections.
Intel expects the internet connected car to be the third fastest growing technology, after smartphones and tablets. Audi, Ford, Kia and Nissan are among the first to adopt such technology. Audi has equipped the A7 with a Wi-Fi system callled Audi Connect that turns the car into a hotspot able to host 8 connections at a time.
Ford has also jumped the wagon with its Microsoft powered Sync My Ride and has solved the connectivity issue with a simple internet stick solution.
In car internet radio is now an option with MyFord Touch as drivers can tune in to their Pandora accounts and listen to their favorite stations.
Google, Apple, Samsung, Microsoft and LG are already testing connected cars concepts and gadgets. Google has recently confirmed that their self-driving cars have passed the 300.000 miles threshold incident free.
In car internet is surely to develop into a huge industry that will benefit car makers, entertainment and media companies, telecom operators, mobile device producers and of course – the buyers.
As consumers get more attached to their mobile devices and start expecting everywhere connectivity the auto industry will start monetizing on this trend. But that's not all. What else should we expect? Here are a few consequences of increasing in car internet adoption:
Key takeaways:
Achieving clarity in Omnichannel Retail is no easy task. Retailers, especially large ones, need to get all departments, all sales channels, suppliers and fulfillment operations on the same page. And that's just the first step. Then comes the IT integration where legacy systems are connected to a central management tool that handles at least inventory transparency, CRM […]
What does it take to turn a store visitor into a loyal customer? Any retailer that can answer this question is surely a leader in its respective niche but it is not a simple question. There are a multitude of factors at play and we thought we might ask the experts. We've reached out to George Skaff, CMO of TouchCommerce, […]

What better way to get advice on implementing and improving omnichannel retail than asking the experts. So we did ask the experts and we started with Mattias Pihlström, founder and omnichannel consultant at Brightstep AB. Mattias is experienced in implementing ecommerce, multi-channel and omnichannel processes with industry leaders such as ABB, Apoteket, Ericsson, SCA, Indiska, Interflora, TeliaSonera and […]
Shopping cart abandonment is one of those dreaded issues both online and omnichannel retailers hate. There are many reasons for customers to just leave a webstore after they have picked their products, instead of completing the order. Some customers find better prices elsewhere, some fail to navigate the store but most (56%) give up on their order […]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Add a cool filter in Instagram and it may be worth more. So luxury retailers have taken up on the chance of showcasing offline products in the most popular photo-sharing app in the world. It's definitely worth it. With more than 300 million Instagrammers, the social network […]

Join LFA, NAEYC and NAESP for a dynamic conversation about supporting our youngest learners in a changing preK-12 context. Tuesday, Dec. 1, 3-4 p.m. EST, Register now.
I cannot begin to count the number of times I hear a statistic related to children and education that causes me to pause and ask additional questions about the context. A troubling number is often just an indicator of a larger problem, which serves as backdrop to help explain how we as a society arrived at this measurement. I recently attended three separate events that collectively reminded me, once again, that we can help all children realize their true potential through collaboration and teamwork across schools, districts and communities. By addressing root causes and individual student needs, we may see students take the lead in their learning, becoming the future leaders of tomorrow, today. ...
By Mel Riddile, Associate Director of High School Services at the National Association of Secondary Principals (NASSP)
Principal leadership matters--perhaps now more than ever before. As much as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are changing instructional practice in the classroom, we must acknowledge that student learning under CCSS requires a schoolwide transformation that transcends individual classrooms and requires the dedicated, continual attention of the principal. Consider how these five essential schoolwide conditions for CCSS will fundamentally shift the way principals go about leading schools.
1. A culture of college and career readiness. Culture reflects the mindsets and expectations of everyone in the school and ultimately drives behavior. A CCSS culture reflects the universal expectation that all students will be prepared for life beyond high school, and it encourages students' capacity to imagine their long-term possibilities. In much the same way that a discipline policy becomes ineffective if only half the teachers enforce it, a culture of high expectations must pervade every meeting, every ...
I recently attended an event showcasing state initiatives that focus on the goal of ensuring all third grade students read on grade level – a lofty and perfectly reasonable goal. The participants in the program included three governors as well as a panel of state superintendents of education. One of the governors kept mentioning that in her state too much attention has been paid to the adults in the system to the detriment of the students. Her belief in this root cause of the disappointing literacy rate of her state's third grade students struck a cord and reminded me of another event hosted by Learning Forward and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) last month. That event, Advancing the Common Core: State Strategies for Transforming Professional Learning, showcased a set of resources to improve teacher practice developed under the leadership of Learning Forward with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Sandler Foundation, and the MetLife Foundation. It included a panel of education leaders at the state and local level who have participated and contributed to the project.
One panel member, Cynthia Cash-Greene, superintendent of the Orangeburg (SC) Consolidated School District #3, was especially impressive, and her message resonated with me. She said district leaders need to be bold and know what they stand for. She has focused on ...
By Brian Lewis, CEO, International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
More than three decades since the first computers began to appear in schools around the country, we still seem to be engaged in a national conversation about whether or not they belong there – whether the investments that our communities have made in education technology can be linked to improved student outcomes.
Our collective truth is that today's students were born into a world where technology has been a part of their lives from the very beginning. As preschoolers, they pick up their parents' smartphones and seem to intuitively know how to play a game. Ask a first-grader who is a baseball fan to find information on when his favorite team, the Chicago Cubs, will be playing next, and there is every possibility he will tell you to go to www.Cubs.com. Ask a high school freshman if there should be technology in schools and you will likely get that look that only a 15-year-old can give, telling you that you are "clueless."
These same students are graduating into a world where they are competing for jobs on a global level – not only on a local, state, or national level. The days of the reading, writing, and arithmetic being alone at the core of schoolwork are far in the past. As the new Common Core State Standards recognize, students need to master the ...
The Learning First Alliance has sent an open letter to education stakeholders recommending a transition period in Common Core implementation. Fifteen of our member organizations joined together to suggest that for at least one year after the original deadline, the results from assessments of the Common Core State Standards be used only to guide instruction and attention to curriculum development, technology infrastructure, professional learning and other resources needed to ensure that schools have the supports needed to help all students achieve under the Common Core.
By removing high-stakes consequences from these assessments during the transition to them, educators will have adequate time to adjust their instruction, students can focus on learning, and parents and communities can focus on supporting children.
Download the letter, or read it below.
June 6, 2013
Fifteen members of the Learning First Alliance, a partnership of national education organizations representing more than ten million parents, educators and policymakers, have agreed on the following statement:
The Learning First Alliance believes that the Common Core State Standards have the potential to transform teaching and learning and provide all children with knowledge and skills necessary for success in the global community.
To meet this potential, teachers, administrators, parents and communities are working together to align the standards with curriculum, instruction and assessment. Their work – which includes ...
Earlier this month the Learning First Alliance (LFA) hosted our annual Leadership Council meeting for LFA member organizations' executive directors, senior staff, and elected leadership. This year's meeting brought 100 education leaders together under the theme Setting a Bold Agenda for Collaborative Leadership in Public Education, and working groups were charged with outlining the focus for the LFA coalition's work in the coming months. With background information provided by Warren Simmons, executive director of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University; Saul Rubinstein, Associate Professor, School of Management & Labor Relations at Rutgers University; and Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education at Stanford University and 2013 recipient of the LFA Education Visionary Award, attendees outlined two major action items for our collective efforts.
The first day's small group discussions centered on developing a common vocabulary and message approach that emphasizes the success that public schools have achieved individually and collectively throughout our country's history. Attendees were reminded that critics of public schools, who call themselves "reformers", have a simple, straightforward message about public education that ...
By Marla Ucelli-Kashyap, Assistant to the President for Educational Issues, American Federation of Teachers (AFT)
Last month, AFT president, Randi Weingarten called for a moratorium on the stakes associated with Common Core-aligned assessments. Let me be clear, the AFT has long been a supporter of higher common standards and expectations for all students, regardless of ZIP code.
From the outset, we've maintained that the standards themselves would only be as good as the system that supports them: aligned curricula and classroom resources (including state-of-the-art online tools); meaningful, sustained professional development; time for teachers and other staff to adapt to the new standards; aligned and timely assessments that support college and career readiness and inform instruction; and participation of family and community stakeholders in the awareness-building, advocacy and support needed for the standards to truly change teaching and ...
By Gail Connelly, Executive Director of the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP)
Communications scholar Marshall McLuhan once said, "We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't the fish." Water shapes a fish's existence so profoundly — and, swimming right in the middle of it, the fish can't grasp how water impacts them. In education, a school's "water" is its culture, that complicated combination of shared values, norms, beliefs, and expectations. It manifests in actions as simple as the way a principal recognizes staff accomplishments, and as complex as the processes staff members use to mediate conflict or the ideas that shape student motivation.
School culture is hard to characterize and cultivate, but it's arguably the defining factor in school change. Shifting culture could prove to be the trickiest — but most essential — piece of today's most pressing education challenge: implementing the Common Core State Standards.
Schools in most states across the country spent the last school year dipping a toe into the Common Core, learning about the new benchmarks, mapping curricula to uncover gaps in learning, and reshuffling schedules to facilitate discussion of the standards. But if last year, for many districts, involved wading in the shallow end of the pool, this year schools will need to fully dive ...
Public Comment Period February 15–March 29
By James G. Cibulka, president, Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation
Education reform over the past decades has ushered in changes in standards, assessment, curriculum, and teacher evaluation. Most recently, the focus has turned to teachers and their professional preparation; research has shown that teachers are the most significant in-school influence on student achievement. While education reform is often politicized, the opposing sides share considerable common ground. In the end, those vested in the topic of education reform agree that every student deserves the best teachers and education possible.
The Council for the Accreditation of Education Preparation (CAEP)[i] takes up its responsibilities as the new national accreditor of educator preparation providers at a time of high interest in P-12 student performance and in the capabilities of the education workforce. In this context, accreditation must be a strong lever in shaping educator preparation, assuring the public of the rigor of educator preparation programs. ...
Deeper learning will ensure students possess transferable knowledge, or the ability to use their knowledge and skills to solve problems and navigate new situations. As a 21st century skill set, it should be a core element of the public education academic experience. A recent report from the National Research Council, Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century argues that when facilitated through teaching and learning of academic subjects, this approach to learning pushes students beyond rote memorization of facts and procedure, and prepares them to succeed in work and life. This opportunity ensures that we are teaching and assessing the skillsets that we want our students to acquire as a majority of states work to implement the Common Core State Standards. Emphasizing deeper learning will require several shifts, in teaching methods, curricula, and assessments much like the shifts that are necessary to ensure success for Common Core. ...

To Hitchcock, this is not a sweet wire from an old colleague but a condolence letter on the occasion of his own death.
Before Mr. Chen left the museum, he signed a condolence book by the corner library.
Messages of condolence quickly amassed on Twitter from friends and strangers alike.
She rarely dropped names of her famous friends, except Prince Charles', who issued a public note of condolence after her death.
This year, the condolence book from the June 4th Museum will be burned in a ceremony of remembrance.
He sends his kind regards and thanks for enquiries and condolence.
I do not ask your condolence and regret for what is past, for that now cannot be remedied.
They went off without attempting to speak to her, or to offer her condolence or sympathy.
I felt that no words of condolence availed, and I let him lie there quietly.
Having settled this business so satisfactorily, I went to receive the condolence and sympathy of St. John.

Happy 100th
Most of the trams that pass the highrise operate from Malvern Tram Depot. The Stonnington Leader newspaper is featuring the depot's 100th anniversary. Will the depot see its 200th? Surely by then we will be able to self transport with our jet powered back packs. I am sure someone in the seventies promised I would be able to by 2000.
7 comments:
Yeah, what was it, the 5 million dollar man or something? Oh no, it was at The Royal Melbourne Show in the 70's when I watched (with terror and amazement)a man fly about with a jet pack on. He was an American guy. MY brother and I instantly wanted one of them!ReplyDelete
I'm waiting for hovercrafts, myself.ReplyDelete
We will still crash into each other MD.ReplyDelete
Thanks for pointing out the missing turret, Andrew. The local paper chose two images where it was not fitted into the shot. It's great to get a fuller picture from the HV site.ReplyDelete

Trusty X700 is about 20 yoa now and gets a thorough cleaning everytime I venture to the beach.
Large format looks really interesting, but I'm too green to play there, yet. Your preferences on focal length has gotten me thinking...I was using higher speed films to capture people in the surf (mostly candids) at the expense of detail.
I picked up some Tura 100 asa b/w that I plan to use for composed shots. We'll see how it goes.
Does anyone have ideas/preferences for lens and filter usage in the 100 and 200 asa range? I over exposed my first try in an attempt to play with depth of field.
What turned out to be your best image from the beach?

At Boston University School of Social Work several individuals stand out for acknowledgment. Ben Cook, research assistant, Suzanne Logan, administrative assistant, and Dean Wilma Peebles Wilkins. Dean Wilkins's support throughout the project facilitated my completing this book in a timely manner! Special thanks go to Paul Vozzo, research assistant. Paul was involved through all phases of the book starting with the prospectus and ending with the name index. He solved problems and supported me during the difficult times associated with writing a book on this subject.
In the field, a number of people provided assistance in the form of getting program literature and being willing to be interviewed. These individuals are, in alphabetical order, Karen Chapple, Nusrat Choudhury, Linda Maxwell, Jose Quintanar, Fred Smith, Dr. Earl Strimple, Steve Stuerer, Dr. Alice Tracy, Susan Warner, and Vicki Zubovic.

Scandal Season 2 TrailerMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Way true Ridge! For us in ministry it seems hard to blveeie that sort of thing could take place in front of us but reality is that it can. We must take all care to ensure 1) we aren't any part of it. 2) we do everything in our power to prevent it and rectify it when we're aware of it. Any ministry involving kids or young people has to exercise utmost diligence and integrity in every area! Adult accountability is crucial.

Read it again - ITPS RegulationOriginally Posted by soybeanstorm
I think I read in a *VERY* long thread in this forum once (can't seem to locate it anymore) that systems with 3.5" hard drives won't shutdown properly with the ITPS regulation (due to the 12V line dropping to 10.x volts when the engine is off?). Anybody want to verify that this is true (and that I'm not just butchering things together after hours and hours of reading?).
haha. good stuff. I re-read all *5* pages of that thread.. A simple, "You're on the money" would've sufficed, but what's the fun in that, right?
Anyhow, I'll summarize it up for any other newcomers.. maybe it'll save someone some time:
Using ITPS w/regulation:
- Drops 12v rail to ~10.x Volts when car is off, as a result:
- Don't use 3.5" drives when using ITPS w/ regulation
a) The 10.x volts on the 12v rail causes the HD to flip out
(when you turn your car off.. so shutdown controller doesn't really
have a chance to do its thing with the flipped-out HD)
- 2.5" Laptop HDs are fine since they only use the 5V rail
- ITPS regulation only allows a maximum of 60 Watts through.
- ITPS w/ regulation + PW-70A? Still only 60 Watts. The weakest link
ruined the party for everyone. boooooooooooo
I hope I got that right. Seasoned car PC guys, feel free to correct anything I may have gotten wrong.
Well, we had to read it! Not only *5* pages but over *5* weeks!!Originally Posted by soybeanstorm

So if you use a laptop hard drive, the shutdown controller on the ITSP will work fine. What about surviving the crank?
It's possible in theory depending on which PSU and system board you use but I think it depends on whether the PSU or system board monitors the 12v rail.Originally Posted by morgant6911
I have a Seagate 5400 U Series disk, an ITPS and a PW-60. The hard drive is the least of my problems! Seems to work ok when the ignition is off, haven't tested the voltages with the car off, but they've been screwey all along. My 3.3V rail sits on about 2.4V when the car's running.. 12V is spot on mostly, 5V is between 4 and 5V. The system runs okay most of the time, car on or off, but it tends to reboot randomly sometimes when I do a heavy read on the hard drive (especially when the ignition is off) and reboots often when going into windows or coming out of hibernate. I'm attributing that to the power good line dropping.
The ITPS/PW60 combination has been nothing but trouble for me. When it works, it's ok. The rest of the time it makes me want to take it out and smash it on the road....
Anyway I've ordered an Opus 150W to replace it, and I'm also going to use thicker grade wire on that. Fingers crossed. Power has been the second most expensive part of the project, second only to the Xenarc...

i dont really want to breastfeed any more
It's a cycle but it doesn't mean your baby is starving! 3 days is a hard time but if you stick to it, it gets much mi h easier and doesn't hurt like that.
Mommy to JS (6/05), RC (9/09), and twins KJ and MW (11/12)!
This post just popped up when I logged on. I'm from the May 2012 board. At 3 days we figured out my LO wasn't latching correctly. It was so painful! But I started pumping. She got good feedings of breastmilk and I was pain free. If it's worth it, then keep at it! If it doesn't work out, atleast you tried. Just thought I'd pass on my experience that you do have other options
My little peanut girl was born on 12|28|2012 !!!

It gets easier, but don't stress about it if you decide to stop. Most of the best immunities are passed on in the early days anyway, and less after that. I pumped and fed my first for 3 weeks (she was premature and wouldn't latch on), and it is so hard to just pump, that I ended up stopping. Then with my second, he latched on great, but having a toddler plus newborn is exhausting, so I only lasted 5 weeks. I felt some guilt when I quit, but it truly was the best thing for me both times.
Married '02; DD June '08; DS January '11
I was more sore on day three than I am today and it's only day five. It gradually gets better as LO gets better at nursing. It sucked and it still sucks. The initial pain is the worst, but once your milk comes in (mine came in at 2 days) it gets a lot easier and the bonding is so special. I've tried pumping, but I can never get too much and to me, pumping is more painful (probably because I don't have an adorable little one to look at).

This Scottish four-piece are destined to be the next big thing.
A few years ago Katie Sutherland was just an ordinary student, working towards a career in teaching; now as her alter ego Pearl she fronts this hot new band Pearl and the Puppets. The name alone makes this group stand out, but it is when you listen to their unique sound that you really stop and take notice.
Twenty year old Katie, played the piano as a child, but it was not until University that she began playing guitar and writing her own songs; something which she has a natural talent for. After creating a myspace page she quit her studies to concentrate on music full time.
Along with Blair McMillan (drums and percussion), Gordon Turner ( guitar, ukulele, keys and bvs) and Scott Clark (bass and bvs) she is ready to take the music world by storm. They are already managed by Twenty First Artists management company who's books include the likes of James Blunt, Elton John, Lily Allen and Just Jack; and have recently signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappel.
People are already catching on to them; their song Because I Do featured in a Vodafone advertisement in Australia and New Zealand and last Summer they supported chart topping Sugababes in concert; so you can bet that we will be hearing a lot more from them in the very near future.
Their sound has been described as Regina Spektor meets Dolores O'Riordan, while there myspace page clssifies them as an acoustic, indie band. However you put it: they are good. Don't take my word for it though, judge for yourselves with these video clips.
Because I Do
Make Me Smile
For more check out their website.
wow! good things to know about.
nice article.
never heard of them. i'll have to check them out.
They are good!
Good tracks. Thanks for sharing this.
I've never heard of Pearl and the Puppets. I'll have to check them out when I get the time.
I haven't heard about them,too.Glad you shared this
great article, i enjoyed the videos too…
That makes three of us who never heard of them but now you could have three budding fans of Pearl and the Puppets. Thanks for sharing.

I will try not to date myself too much, but I started my career at Microsoft when Windows 3.1 was released. With every operating system since, we've been not only driving innovation on the software side, but also hardware. We've been pushing the envelope as Moore's Law has occurred, as processing power and memory capacity has accelerated.
I think Windows 7 is unique because it's not only pushing innovation with things like 64-bit and multi-touch…but the new OS also embraces older technology, both with the optimization of Windows XP via the virtualized desktop and the ability to run on older generation hardware. This is really valuable for schools because they don't have to replace their existing systems or Windows XP systems to take advantage of Windows 7.
We are really excited to announce that Windows 7 has been released to manufacturing today. This means our partners can now start loading new PCs for retail sales and software developers can test their new Windows 7 applications and get them ready to go to market. For our customers with volume licensing agreements, you can get your hands on the final Windows 7 code starting August 7th and work to upgrade your systems potentially before students are back in class.
The reactions I hear from most people who have tried Windows 7 say it runs smoothly; it's more responsive; the user interface is more intuitive; it's a logical layout in terms of the way the OS works; and it just simplifies things for teachers, students and staff. We built Windows 7 to make everyday tasks easier and to make students, teachers and staff more productive no matter where they are located or what device they are using. Windows 7 is a much more reliable and secure environment… your machine will boot faster and your battery life will be longer.
One of my favorite new features is BitLocker To Go. Teachers and students take data home from school on USB thumb drives all the time, and sometimes it's sensitive data like grades. BitLocker was a great way to secure devices in Vista, and we've taken it a step further in Windows 7. With BitLocker To Go, USB keys can be provisioned with security measures and users will be prompted for a password in order to access the content on the USB.
We know schools are often downloading large videos from the web for classroom discussions or documents from a district office. BranchCache will increase network responsiveness of applications, so downloads will happen more quickly and even schools with low bandwidth can take advantage. These features will be very powerful and will help school IT departments not only make people more productive, but also enhance security and control to control risk and streamline PC manageability to reduce costs. Check out this website here for demos on these features and more. The Windows Team blog and the Springboard Series blog are also good resources for IT professionals. If you want to evaluate Windows 7 for yourself, be sure to download the Release Candidate (RC) by August 20th here.
In the months to come, we'll share more about how our customers in K12 and higher education are deploying Windows 7 and the benefits they are realizing. In the meantime, check out the video below where our own Scott Thompson shows you the new client features in Windows 7 that will bring new experiences to your schools.
Congrats to the Server team as well. Windows Server 2008 R2 also hit the RTM milestone today. Combined with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 delivers new innovations such as new virtualization tools, Web resources, management enhancements and more.
Clearly, lots of new Microsoft products launching this year. Join the dialogue and tell me what you want to read about.
I have been a Beta Tester and now am using the RC. It has been running on my netbook without any problems. My only question is will it be made afordable to public schools. In CA, we have so many budget problems that I can't even purchase new textbooks for my computer classes - I don't see how the district an upgrade all of their OS's.
Hi Myra,
We hear your pain and understand the tough economic times and that is why we are working to create special pricing options for schools. We have always offered an aggressive discount for schools through our institution volume licensing programs, and we are continuing to work with our hardware partners to provide affordable laptop solutions and discounted pricing for upgrades. Fortunately, many schools do have upgrade rights to Windows 7.
With Windows 7, we've really worked to listen and incorporate feedback from our customers and partners, and we certainly recognize that we have to prioritize issues our customers are raising. And that includes making sure Windows 7 runs on a wide variety of affordable computers and leverages existing computers like never before. In addition to flexibility on devices, maximization of old hardware, security of data and privacy…the biggest concern is cost and making sure our software is cost effective is a priority for us.
Regarding not being able to purchase new textbooks for your computer classes, I'm sure you have been looking online and I encourage you to check out some of Microsoft's free resources. The Expressions Web and XNA Gaming curriculum are available on our Faculty Connection website and might be most relevant for you. Faculty Connection is a resource center with customizable lesson plans, training materials, sample projects and more.
Our Digital Literacy Curriculum can also help you teach your students the fundamentals of computer technology.
Thanks for the comment and question.

Her colorful heart paintings & generous community art projects, to groups like Hospice of the Valley, American Heart Association, Susan G. Komen, Artists for Human Rights, Boulder City Hospital, Hearts in San Francisco Foundation, SF General Hospital, and Citizens Commission for Human Rights, serve as a lasting reminder that anything is possible.
Internationally known as the "The Heart Artist," Arambula's most recent passion to inspire women around the globe to move beyond their boundaries of creativity has created a profound impact through her support of the Whole Planet Foundation.
"Last year I brought in a local artist, Debbie Arambula, who is as passionate about making a difference in the world as myself. She donated a portion of her proceeds from her art sales that day and also raffled off a piece of artwork to a Team Member. We brought her back again this year," says Patrice Barriga, a Front End Team Member at the Whole Foods Stevens Creek.
A portion of the proceeds from the art sold at Whole Foods this year went to the Whole Planet Foundation to help women start a micro business as part of its Annual Prosperity Campaign.
"Where so many Galleries have closed their doors, I am fortunate that my Heart Art & Gallery is helping artists in third world countries start their own art business! Partnering with Cupertino Wholefoods "Whole Planet Foundation Prosperity Campaign! It's a legacy that transcends my lifetime with the potential to spill over into not only the lives of these women, but also their children and grandchildren."
In 2011, the Whole Planet Foundation raised $26,452,000 with an estimated 1,188,000 people supported - 91.8% of them women - in 50 different countries.
In addition to her work with the Whole Planet Foundation, Arambula noted that she works locally through her ARTsploration workshops and also with the Way to Happiness Foundation to help aspiring artists give birth to the artist within and to uplift society by showing others through their creativity they can not only bring happiness to themselves but also to those around them.
"My mission is to spread love. In order to do that, and inspire greatness in a struggling world, we must actively support the causes we believe in," Arambula said. She went on to say that, " 'Having your Cake and Eating It Too' is all about feeding your soul, giving a gift to you that inspires, while giving you a life-energy that allows you to continue to inspire others at the same time. The naked truth is, no matter what the cause or situation in our lives, we are the ones who find the solutions, the cures, and together, we fix the problem."

Los Angeles Times, Part 1, Friday, September 4, 1987 "1.4 Million Bias Case Settlement OKd The state Assembly ratified the payment of nearly $1.4 million to settle the 5-year-old case of a former school teacher of mentally ill students at Camarillo State Hospital who alleged that she was fired because of racial discrimination. By a 75-0 vote, the Assembly approved the measure by Senator Diane Watson (D-Los Angeles) to settle the suit with the teacher, Betty Andrews of Los Angeles. The bill, previously approved by the Senate, now goes to Governor George Deukmejian for his consideration. Jeffrey Fuller, a deputy attorney general, labeled the settlement "extremely good" for the state, citing a federal court jury decision last November awarding Andrews $2.5 million. Andrews, who is black, was fired in September, 1982, for 15 incidents of alleged misconduct, such as not reporting a student's theft of a candy bar. According to a Senate analysis of the bill, the jury determined that the charges were not based on fact and that Andrews supervisor had engaged in acts and made statements which showed a pattern of racial prejudice" *********************************************** Mind you, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has the audacity to call the U.S. a 'nation of cowards' on race discussions, and here you have treasonous elected Black leaders, specifically Senator Diane Watson (Democrat Los Angeles) initiating a measure to reduce a $2.5 million dollar federal court jury decision, awarded to Betty Andrews, to $1.4 million dollars. Senator Diane Watson, President Barack Obama, and/or all other elected officials are sworn under oath to protect the Constitutional rights of law abiding U.S. citizens. Furthermore, Senator Diane Watson has a duty to serve the best interests of law abiding U.S. citizens, U.S. born black citizens, who are residents of the 33rd Congressional district, being inclusive. Racism will always be here. Ethnic pride, racial identity loyalty, duty to family loyalty, protecting and promoting the property rights of individuals of common heritage, ethnicity, nationality, etc., will always be with us. Of more importance is respecting the rule of law, respecting the U.S. Constitutional and respective State Constitutional rights of the law abiding U.S. citizen, be it Arab, Armenian, Black, Caucasian, Filipino, Hispanic, Italian, Japanese, Jewish, Korean, etc., indigent, affluent, middleclass, teacher, student, preacher, or other, and this would be especially true for any elected official of common heritage, nationality, ethnicity, etc., and their duty to serve others who look like them. If the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution and respective State Constitutional, and/or the lawful rights of all law abiding U.S. citizens are respected, it would not matter if an individual is, or is not a member or leader of the KKK, the Aryan Nation, MALDEF, the Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, etc., etc., etc. Senator Diane Watson exhibited blatant disregard for the rule of law, U.S. Constitutional and respective State Constitutional, and/or the lawful rights of Betty Andrews, being a law abiding Black woman, living in the 33rd Congressional District. Quite naturally, Jeffrey Fuller, a deputy attorney general, and/or others would label the settlement "extremely good" for the state of California, because unlike Senator Diane Watson, it is not his or her first duty to serve any law abiding Black constituent in Congresswoman Diane Watson's district, such as Betty Andrews. ****************************** Los Angeles Times, September 11, 1987 "Bill Takes Note of Herman Plight" by Ann Herold "His plight shocked the many who revere Woody Herman as one of the greats on the American jazz scene. When it was reported that the ailing former bandleader and clarinetist was to be evicted from his Hollywood Hills home for nonpayment of rent, offers of help from celebrities and fans came pouring in. Now a U.S. representative John Conyers, Jr. , of Michigan, is planning to introduce a bill in Congress next week that would wipe out Herman's $1.4 million tax debt. Herman's case Conyers said, "is important because it symbolizes the tawdry treatment given to jazz musicians in this country. This legislation will correct an injustice and help to ensure that Woody Herman lives his remaining years with dignity and respect." Herman who is bedridden with emphysema and heart problems, is "a little bit tired but feeling happy and encouraged by what's going on," said his daughter, Ingrid Herman Reese. It's the best I've seen him feel in weeks". *********************************** .....and here you have Congressman John Conyer's of Michigan's 14th Congressional District, representing Woody Herman of Hollywood, California..... .......Hollywood, California, and Woody Herman being very remote from Congressman John Conyer's Congressional District. Woody Herman's $1.4 tax debt , and eviction for nonpayment of rent, although harsh on any senior citizen, it is legal. Here you have misfit elected Black leaders on one hand betraying their law abiding Black constituency, such as Senator Diane Watson betraying Betty Andrews, and on the other hand, stepping up to the plate for individuals who do not reside in their district, or who save the day, for individuals who are in violation of the law, such as Congressman John Conyer's drafting legislation in behalf of Woody Herman, who is a tax cheat, and bad tenant. (Mind you, not a single California Congressperson, California City Mayor, California Governor, California State Senator, California State Assemblyperson, etc., etc., followed the cab of Michigan Congressman John Conyers to exhonorate Woody Herman of his obligations to pay his rent and taxes.) It is crystal clear as to why the liberal Community and/or others promote a Congresswoman Diane Watson, Congressman Conyer's, and/or other treasonous Black elected leaders, because as the articles "1.4 Million Bias Case Settlement OKd" , "Bill Takes Note of Herman Plight", and/or other realities prove, it is the Black community that pays a heavy price when elected officials fail to respect the U.S. Constitutional and respective State Constitutional rights *of the law abiding U.S. citizens. What baffles me, is the reality that for decades a misguided Black electorate and/or Black middleclass continue to support or promote individuals who have a record of betraying the Black community and/or who bend over backwards to quash or kill off the deeds of the unsung heroes of the Black community, who truly serve and support the U.S. Constitutional and respective State Constitutional rights of all law abiding U.S. citizens, especially individuals of common heritage.
