Our Work
This is an excerpt from MSF's 2014 International Activity Report:
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) continues to respond to the medical needs of some of Kenya's most vulnerable people: inhabitants of slum settlements and refugee camps, patients with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB), and victims of sexual violence.
Over 350,000 people, mostly Somalis, live in precarious conditions in Dadaab, the world's largest long-term refugee settlement. Following a tripartite agreement on voluntary return (signed by the UN Refugee Agency and the governments of Kenya and Somalia in 2014), the refugees can either go back to a war-torn country or stay in closed camps where they receive minimal assistance. The threat of kidnappings, robberies, and sexual assault puts significant pressure on the people living in the camps and insecurity severely limits the capacity of humanitarian organizations to provide services.
MSF has not had a permanent international staff presence in Dagahaley camp, 50 miles from the border with Somalia, since 2011 due to increased insecurity, but continues to manage a 100-bed hospital and an inpatient feeding center through the work of national staff and remote management. Outpatient and inpatient services for children and adults are provided, including maternity care, emergency surgery, and treatment for HIV/AIDS and TB. Four health posts in Dagahaley offer basic health care consultations and outreach activities including mental health support. Each month, teams carried out around 15,000 outpatient consultations and 1,000 antenatal consultations, and admitted an average of 1,000 patients to the hospital. MSF issued a briefing paper in March 2014, drawing attention to the inadequate and insecure conditions in Dagahaley and calling for more government and donor support for the Dadaab camps.
MSF's program in Homa Bay has provided antiretroviral (ARV) treatment to people living with HIV since 2001. Homa Bay was the first public hospital in Kenya to offer it free of charge. The program is in the process of being handed over to the health ministry. More than 7,400 people were on ARVs in 2014. A new program was started in Ndhiwa, where MSF has found adult HIV prevalence as high as 24 percent and a worrying rate of new infections at two percent per year. In order to reduce this, an integrated and simplified model of care will be introduced in health ministry facilities and in the communities in order to diagnose and care for people living with HIV and decrease their viral load. Support will be given to health authorities to improve access to HIV testing, voluntary medical male circumcision, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of the virus. MSF will also focus on follow-up and treatment adherence, and on improving the quality of care in Ndhiwa and Homa Bay Hospitals' inpatient wards where mortality rates among HIV patients remain high.
Health Care in Nairobi Slum Settlements
In the Eastlands slums, poverty, drug use, crime, and impunity contribute to high levels of violence, including sexual assaults. Victims, however, have very limited access to emergency medical care in this part of the city. MSF has been working to fill this gap with its program at the Lavender House clinic in Mathare, which offers comprehensive care to victims of sexual and gender-based violence, including access to a 24-hour hotline and pick-up by ambulance. Patients receive medical consultations, treatment to prevent transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted infections, a pregnancy test when relevant, swabs for legal purposes, psychological counseling, and referrals for social and legal support. In 2014, more than 200 patients received aftercare each month; half of these were minors, and a quarter were under the age of 12. A trauma room at Lavender House was also established to manage ambulant medical emergencies, and stabilize and refer patients to other facilities when needed. Some 300 patients received care in the trauma room each month, the majority for physical assault
After evaluating the health needs in the area, MSF decided to address the population's lack of access to hospitals and specialist health care. A dispatch center was set up and two ambulances were made available to the residents of Mathare and Eastleigh. During the first six weeks of the project, 141 calls were received. MSF also started supporting the accident and emergency department of Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital—the only hospital accessible for Eastlands's two million residents—with additional staff, equipment, training, and supervision. A program focusing on detection and treatment of people with drug-resistant TB continued at Green House, Mathare, and MSF started the first patient diagnosed with extremely drug-resistant TB on a regimen that includes the new anti-TB drug bedaquiline.
The only free basic health care for people in the Kibera slum is provided through two MSF clinics. Treatment for HIV/AIDS, TB, and chronic diseases is available, and the team runs a comprehensive aftercare program for victims of sexual violence. MSF opened a new clinic in Kibera South, offering basic health care and maternity services. There is an inpatient maternity ward and an ambulance service for obstetric and other emergencies. Integrated management for diseases such as HIV, diabetes, and asthma make it a one-stop service, improving patient access to medical care and facilitating early diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Health education sessions, counseling and social support are also available. More than 60 percent of all consultations at MSF's Kibera clinics were for respiratory infections and diarrheal or skin diseases, a result of overcrowding, as well as poor hygiene and sanitation in the slum.
At the end of 2014, MSF had 603 staff in Kenya. MSF has worked in the country since 1987.
Patient story
Charles, 43 years old
I felt hopeless after having been diagnosed with HIV in 2003. This was when stigma and discrimination was very high. Before MSF came, all I thought I could do was hide and wait to die just like I had witnessed my friends and neighbors fade away. I am now a family man with one wife and a pretty five-year-old girl. ARV treatment gave hope to the hopeless and I am now a beneficiary of the good free health services offered by MSF. As an activist, I continue to lobby for better policies to ensure that all Kenyans who need treatment can access it.

I got the dress but I did not wear it. Like new. The top part of the dress has beads on the top and bottom. Some beads are missing on the side of the bottom and maybe the front or side of the top. This is the only defeat I know of and it is unnoticeable. This dress is made by bonny and I still have the original dress tag. The color is Cream Platinum.

CALABASH—Town commissioners were slated to interview six people this week for Calabash's vacant town administrator position.
An "emergency" four-hour meeting was called Monday afternoon so the board could go into closed session to interview three candidates.
The meeting was called on an emergency basis. Because of "human error," proper 48-hour notice wasn't given, town administrator Kelley Southward and Mayor Anthony Clemmons noted in e-mailed memos sent out Monday morning.
BOLIVIA—Recent legislation, which takes effect Oct. 1, prohibits plastic bottles, oil filters and wooden pallets in the state's solid waste landfills.
But, according to Brunswick County Operations Services Director Stephanie Lewis, enforcement of the new ban could be difficult.
An Ash man police say was impaired at the time struck and killed an Ocean Isle Beach man who was walking alongside Green Bay Road south of Shallotte on Monday, Sept. 14.
According to N.C. State Highway Patrol Sgt. C. K. Parks, Joshua Wilson, 24, of Big Neck Road, was driving a 2002 Chevrolet pickup truck west on Green Bay Road 5.5 miles south of Shallotte around 10:30 p.m. when he struck Fortunato Castillo, 45, of Green Bay Road in Ocean Isle Beach.
The newest law enforcement apparatus has landed in Brunswick County, and Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Charlie Miller said the best thing about the helicopter is taxpayers aren't footing the bill.
Miller said the sheriff's office received the Bell OH-58 helicopter from the federal agency Law Enforcement Support Services, or LESS, at no cost. So far, the sheriff's office spent $32,000 in drug seizure money to outfit the helicopter with radios, GPS and intercom systems.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County Commissioners on Monday tabled a developer's request to defer construction of a sewer pump station in Ocean Isle Palms to build a spec house.
County manager Marty Lawing said officials with The Coastal Companies, owned by Mark Saunders, requested a deferment to complete the development's sewer pump station—instead requesting a building permit to build a spec house, which would operate on a grinder pump until Ocean Isle Palm's pump station is constructed.
SUNSET BEACH—The town planning board is recommending the town attorney research and advise town council about electronic gaming as a special use in all business districts.
During discussion at a special called meeting Sept. 17, board members studied a recommendation by Sunset Beach chief building inspector Jeff Curtis to reconsider limiting the number of allowable machines per location to 10, "with the stipulation our attorney research this as to what can be done," board chairman Bill McDonald said.
Editor's note: This is the second in a series of stories focused on healthcare reform and other issues before Congress.
When it comes to HR 3200—America's Affordable Health Choices Act—U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, the Democrat who represents North Carolina's 7th District, says "It's too much, too fast and too expensive."
Progress Energy shut down the two reactors at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant in Southport because maintenance on one of the plant's back-up generators is taking longer than expected.
Customers will not experience loss of power, and there is no safety risk, a company spokesperson said.
With vacationers tightening their belts and not spending what they used to, 2009 occupancy tax revenue was down in Brunswick County over the previous year.
But not as much as tourism officials expected.
"It looks better now than we thought it would last year at this time," Brunswick County Tourism Development Authority Chairman Kemp Causey said this week. "In our budget, we said we would be down 20 percent."
CAROLINA SHORES—A concerned-citizens group is considering legal steps if the town proceeds with an idea to send letters to residents telling them to vote no in an upcoming referendum.
Tom Pressel, chairman of the Concerned Citizens of Carolina Shores, said the group is waiting to see how the town board proceeds with an idea recently posed among board members via e-mail by town commissioner Gere Dale.
Dale has been soliciting behind-the-scenes input from fellow board members about the town's upcoming referendum about changing its form of government.

Adolescent and Young Adult HIV/AIDS
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which damages or kills the cells that are responsible for fighting infection. AIDS is diagnosed when HIV has weakened the immune system enough that the body has a difficult time fighting infections.
An estimated 5,259 people aged 13-24 years were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS1 in 2006, representing 14.3 percent of all new cases. While the number of diagnoses among children aged 13-14 years fluctuates from year to year, the number of diagnoses among the older age groups have increased steadily over the past few years. Diagnoses of HIV/AIDS among adolescents aged 15-19 years and young adults aged 20-24 years have increased 34 and 23 percent, respectively, since 2003.
In 2006, there were 211 deaths of adolescents and young adults with AIDS, representing 1.4 percent of all deaths of persons with AIDS. Since the beginning of the epidemic, an estimated 10,096 persons aged 13-24 years have died with the disease. Deaths of persons with AIDS have generally decreased in recent years, due in part to the availability of effective prescription drugs to combat the disease.
With an increase in diagnoses and a decrease in deaths, the number of people living with HIV/ AIDS has increased. In 2006, there were an estimated 19,979 people aged 13-24 years living with HIV/AIDS, representing 3.9 percent of all cases. Overall, the number of adolescents and young adults living with HIV/AIDS has increased 19 percent since 2003.
1 Includes persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection only, a diagnosis of HIV infection and a later AIDS diagnosis, and concurrent diagnoses of HIV infection and AIDS in 33 states and 5 dependent areas with confidential name-based reporting.↑

BOULDER - The University of Colorado volleyball team celebrated the 2012 season on Tuesday night at the year-end awards banquet in the Byron R. White Stadium Club on the campus of CU.
"Taking a few moments to recognize the efforts of our fantastic student-athletes is one of the best parts of being a coach," coach Liz Kritza said. "Tonight we recognized the effort that the entire group put forth this season and some special successes that our young women achieved both in the classroom and on the court."
The Buffs finished the season with a 14-18 overall record and were 4-16 in the Pac-12 Conference. CU recorded eight more overall wins on the year than in 2011 when the Buffs recorded six wins. The Buffs finished the non-conference portion of the season at 10-2, one of the best starts ever in CU history. The Buffs also picked up three more victories in conference play compared to one in the first year of Pac-12 play.
"The 2012 season was a great step forward in this program's development and most importantly a springboard for an even better season next year," Kritza said. "Players and coaches alike are encouraged by what we were able to do this past season and look for exciting times to come for Colorado Volleyball."
Freshman captain Nicole Edelman was named the team's MVP, while freshman outside hitter Alexis Austin earned the Most Improved Player award. Sophomore Kelsey Spencer earned the Shoulder to Shoulder award (the player who is committed to the team's success at all times and is a selfless individual who provides constant support to all teammates in support of team ideals and goals) and junior Jessica Ashcenbrenner took home the Golden Buffalo Award (the player who demonstrates great work ethic and takes personal responsibility for continual progress and improvement).
Two players were recognized for earning 4.0 GPAs in 2012. Junior Elysse Richardson, a psychology major, recorded a 4.0 during the spring semester and freshman Chelsey Keoho, who is majoring in chemical engineering, notched a 4.0 this past fall during her first semester.
The Alumni C-Club was also on hand to award the student-athletes with their letter awards. Edelman, Austin, Keoho, Ana Pantovic, Erin Taylor and Emily Todd earned their first letter with the Buffs. Spencer, Kelsey English, Neira Ortiz Ruiz and Emily Alexis received their second letter and Richardson, Aschenbrenner and Nikki Lindow were awarded their third letter. Senior Michelle Miller was also honored with a framed jersey and earned her third letter with the Buffs.

It should not be any surprise that William Gheen of Americans for Legal Immigration, the man who threatened a violent revolution over immigration reform, has a very narrow definition of what qualifies as racism.
As far as Gheen is concerned, it isn't racist to want to preserve America's status quo of being "predominately governed by people of European descendancy."
"Anybody that dares say anything that they don't like is going to get a label applied to them – sexist, racist, homophobic, anything like that," Gheen complained to Idaho radio host Kevin Miller. "Because the name of their game is that since America has been traditionally a center-right nation for 200 years, has been predominately governed by people of European descendancy and Christian, different denominations of Christianity and deist backgrounds, they're trying to knock that down. So they're looking for any way to create division among any group.
"You've seen it escalate, I believe, under the Obama administration, an increased tension between white, black and Hispanic; between straight and gay; between male and female; between young and old. Any differences between Americans that they can exploit and accentuate and increase, they don't miss an opportunity to do it."
Despite having tried to pin the division on Obama (as if he has the option of no longer being black), Gheen proceeded to reiterate his claim that immigration amounts to an "invasion."
Apparently, in Gheen's opinion, that doesn't make him racist either.

The Seattle Seahawks filled the remaining void for Super Bowl XLVII by defeating the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014. Earlier in the day, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos defeated the New England Patriots to cinch their spot. After the dramatic victory, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman did an on-field interview and went off on 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
San Francisco was driving and looking to take a lead in the final minute, but all that ended with an interception by Seattle's Malcolm Smith. Colin Kaepernick's pass attempt to Crabtree was deflected by Sherman and then picked by Smith.
After the Seahawks ran out the clock, Erin Andrews caught up with Sherman to ask him about that final defensive play. He was a bit over-excited.
"Well, I'm the best corner in the game. When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree...that's the result you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me."
When interviewer Erin Andrews asked Sherman who was talking about him, he replied with a lot of enthusiasm.
"Crabtree! Don't you open your mouth about the best...or I'm going to shut it for you real quick. L-O-B"
Andrews tried to get another question in, but Sherman apparently ran off and so she simply said, "And Joe (Buck)...back over to you."
For those not aware, "LOB" stands for the "Legion of Boom," and it is the nickname that has been placed upon the defense of the Seattle Seahawks. A defense that has pushed this Seahawks team throughout most of the season and been incredibly dominant.
Earlier in the week, Crabtree was asked if Sherman was one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Crabtree did not agree with that question and said he didn't feel as if Sherman was indeed one of the best. Obviously, that touched a nerve.

Expression and regulation of the renal Na/phosphate cotransporter NaPi-IIa in a mouse model deficient for the PDZ protein PDZK1. Pflügers Archiv: European Journal of Physiology (Pflugers Archiv), 449(4):392-402.

Inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is reabsorbed in the renal proximal tubule mainly via the type-IIa sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIa). This protein is regulated tightly by different factors, among them dietary P(i) intake and parathyroid hormone (PTH). A number of PDZ-domain-containing proteins have been shown to interact with NaPi-IIa in vitro, such as Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-3 regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) and PDZK1. PDZK1 is highly abundant in kidney and co-localizes with NaPi-IIa in the brush border membrane of proximal tubules. Recently, a knock-out mouse model for PDZK1 (Pdzk1(-/-)) has been generated, allowing the role of PDZK1 in the expression and regulation of the NaPi-IIa cotransporter to be examined in in vivo and in ex vivo preparations. The localization of NaPi-IIa and other proteins interacting with PDZK1 in vitro [Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE3), chloride-formate exchanger (CFEX)/putative anion transporter-1 (PAT1), NHERF1] was not altered in Pdzk1(-/-) mice. The abundance of NaPi-IIa adapted to acute and chronic changes in dietary P(i) intake, but steady-state levels of NaPi-IIa were reduced in Pdzk1(-/-) under a P(i) rich diet. This was paralleled by a higher urinary fractional P(i) excretion. The abundance of the anion exchanger CFEX/PAT1 (SLC26A6) was also reduced. In contrast, NHERF1 abundance increased in the brush border membrane of Pdzk1(-/-) mice fed a high-P(i) diet. Acute regulation of NaPi-IIa by PTH in vivo and by PTH and activators of protein kinases A, C and G (PKA, PKC and PKG) in vitro (kidney slice preparation) was not altered in Pdzk1(-/-) mice. In conclusion, loss of PDZK1 did not result in major changes in proximal tubule function or NaPi-IIa regulation. However, under a P(i)-rich diet, loss of PDZK1 reduced NaPi-IIa abundance indicating that PDZK1 may play a role in the trafficking or stability of NaPi-IIa under these conditions.

Zac Efron and Seth Rogen showed up at the premiere of the frat vs family comedy, "Neighbors" on Monday night (April 28, 2014) in Westwood, CA. Donning gray suits, the co-stars obliged the screaming fans as they made their way to the Regency Theatre shaking hands, signing autographs and posing for photos.
Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Rose Byrne lead the cast in a comedy about a frustrated young couple who are forced to live next to a fraternity house after the birth of their newborn baby and face unexpected difficulties. The rowdy comedy was directed by Nicholas Stoller who's previous directing credits include "Get Him to the Greek" and Forgetting Sarah Marshall"
Interestingly, Seth Rogen was not a big fan of Zac Efron prior to the making of the film. Rogen revealed to People.com, "I was expecting to not like him very much when I first met him," Rogen, 32, told PEOPLE with a laugh at the movie's premiere. Rogen adds: "I was proven very wrong because he's a sweet, nice guy … He was just so nice, cool and very self-aware and self-effacing and endearing, and all those things that make someone hard to hate."
Efron appeared to be in very good spirits at the event in spite of reportedly getting hacked. According to USA Today the hackers stole his personal assistant's identity and tried to obtain photos of the star from a USA TODAY photographer. "Hi I'm Zac's assistant," wrote the hacker, sending a text personally to one of USA Today's staff photographers. "He was wondering if you can send a copy of the photo shoot you took of him for USA Today. My email is [redacted]." Efron doesn't seem to worry about it too much and shrugs it off but states that this kind of thing happens pretty often.
Nevertheless, all was well on the red carpet that was attended by fellow co-stars Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Dave Franco, Halston Sage among others.
The film opens nationwide on Friday May 9, 2014

Quill Ideas is the name of a new crowdsourcing platform the online division of Staples launched for customers and employees to share ideas in new and interesting ways.
Quill.com, acquired by Staples in 1998, is calling Quill Ideas an online-innovation community that is designed to solicit and implement ideas, review and rank them based on various protocols and then implement those that score the highest. A soft launch that began two weeks ago has already garnered more than 13,000 interactions made up of ideas, votes and comments, according to the company.
"The result, we hope, will be a sustainable flow of ideas, as well as a closer relationship with customers who will have a greater say in how we serve them," said Quill.com president Sergio Pereira. "We've always been fortunate to enjoy a rare level of trust, but we believe including our customers in the process of innovation will further deepen our connection with them, and drive more meaningful new ideas to market."
Available through a dedicated landing page at ideas.quill.com or in the header on the Quill.com homepage, Quill Ideas will let customers and employees submit and evaluate new ideas. Those that gain traction within the community will be systematically brought to the relevant executives within the company and evaluated regularly by a dedicated innovation team.
Additionally, engagement will be incentivized by applying principles of gamification that will reward regular engagement in a fashion similar to the way badges work on social channels such as Foursquare, while also providing regular evidence that Quill.com is listening, and what they are hearing is making a difference.
Quill.com is headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, and operates 12 distribution centers nationwide.

Windstar Cruises has launched its much-awaited and recently-announced fleet enhancement program with the re-debut of Wind Surf and Wind Spirit. Spruce-ups for the ships, the first two to receive the enhancements, include the addition of DVD players and flat screen televisions in all passenger cabins, re-conditioned teak floors and more contemporary furnishings in the pool area, and replacement of soft goods – otherwise known as bedspreads and draperies.
Beyond cosmetic improvements, Wind Spirit and Wind Star will also receive upgrades in mechanical units, particularly in the air conditioning area, which has been problematic in the past.
Wind Star, the last in the fleet to undergo renovations, will enter dry-dock period December 5; the ship will re-emerge on December 19.
Windstar, which lost Wind Song, one of its four sail-cruise vessels, in a tragic fire last year, had announced this summer that it would invest an additional 6.5 million on the existing fleet which, at an average 15-year age per vessel, is one of the industry's oldest.

Marc Schare is the Vice President of the Worthington City Schools Board of Education (in suburban Columbus), now serving his ninth year.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Marc Schare testified before the Ohio House of Representatives' Rules and Reference Committee on August 26, 2014, opposing House Bill 597 which would repeal Ohio's New Learning Standards. The following is from his written testimony before the committee.
We in Worthington are confused by this legislation. Perplexed really. Baffled might be the right word.
You see, the State told us back in 2009 that our "Excellent" rankings didn't mean much anymore because Ohio's academic content standards and cut scores were too low and that too many kids statewide were having to take high school all over again once they got to college. Fair enough, so Ohio responsibly adopted new academic content standards and recommended that we develop a curriculum based on those standards. For the next three years, teams of teachers representing over 20% of our total teaching staff met in small groups to re-write Worthington's local curriculum. It was an enormous undertaking. The teams would methodically, standard by standard, define learning targets, compile lists of resources, determine best practices and associated professional development on...
Released on August 20, The Condition of College & Career Readiness examines the college readiness of the high school class of 2014 using ACT test scores and College Readiness Benchmarks. Approximately 1.85 million students, or 57 percent of all American graduates, took the ACT in 2014—an astounding 18 percent increase since 2010. Ohio students posted an average composite score of 22—relatively unchanged from previous years and one point above the national average. More interesting are the College Readiness Benchmarks, which indicate the chance of a student earning a B or higher in a college course in English composition, Algebra, biology, or social science. The overall report provides this data for the nation, but individual state level data is also available (Ohio's data). It's not a pretty picture. Of the 72 percent of Ohio's 2014 graduating seniors who took the ACT, only one in three (32 percent) scored high enough to be deemed college ready in all four academic areas. Because not every student took the ACT, only around one in four (23 percent) of Ohio seniors can be considered college ready. If, as expected, PARCC sets its cut scores at the college and career ready threshold, Ohioans will to...
Last issue, we told you the twisty story of VLT Academy – a charter school in the Cincinnati area that ended up closing for good before the 2014-15 school year. The saga included unprecedented efforts by the Ohio Department of Education to rein in poor authorization practices, a court challenge, a last-minute stay, and parents left scrambling for schools for their children just days before the school year began.
That chapter of the story ended with a new charter school – Hope4Change Academy—setting up a tent outside the locked doors of VLT, looking to sign up families for their school, even though their own sponsor contract was in question and it was entirely possible they wouldn't open either.
Fast-forward. Ten days later.
The Ohio Department of Education referred the top two leaders of the Portage County Education Service Center for investigation, saying the agency attempted, as sponsor, to open Hope4Change despite being warned not to due to unsatisfactory vetting procedures. Officials of both entities have since traded barbs in the media, indicating yet another chapter to come.
The heart of the matter is that bad charter school authorization practices must end, or parents and students...
It's nearly school report card time in Ohio. One thing to watch for when examining school performance is whether there are conflicting ratings. For the 2013-14 school year, schools will receive ratings along up to ten dimensions of performance, though no overall letter grade. For example, one might observe a school that receives an "F" on the state's performance index but at the same time, also receives an "A" on the state's value-added rating. Or vice-versa. How in the world can this happen?
Keep in mind that these two key ratings—a school's performance index and value-added—are not the same. The performance index is an indicator of raw student achievement, weighted across a continuum of achievement levels. Value-added, on the other hand, is a statistical estimate of a school's impact on student progress—expressed as learning gains—over time.[1] Although both measures are based on state test scores, they are different creatures: Achievement tells us more about how students perform; value-added provides evidence on how a school performs (i.e., the productivity of the school staff).
Hence, to understand the quality of a school, we really need both measures. Outside observers—parents, taxpayers, and others—should know whether a school's...

A recall effort against state Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville in part over his support for a new Michigan-Ontario bridge can proceed after Monroe County elections officials approved the petition language.
County Clerk Sharon Lemasters says Tuesday's clarity hearing vote was 2-1.
Canvassers rejected the petition in early May saying the language was unclear. Lemasters said then that at least one section was vague.
Another part of the petition referred to Richardville's support for a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario.
Richardville spokesman Matt Marsden says the approved language is "remarkably similar to the last two rejected recalls" and that the senator will review it with his lawyer.
The Republican represents Michigan's 17th District, which includes Monroe County and parts of Washtenaw and Jackson counties.

Three tutorial labs to support developmental courses in English and mathematics are slated to open over the next several weeks. The board ratified a $524,000 contract with Ingrassia Construction Co., of Watchung, for the construction. The labs are in the former Yellow Area snack bar, the Blue Area, and the basement of the Clara E. Dasher Student Center.
"The labs will allow 10,000 hours of tutorial computer assisted instruction per week," said Dr. Douglas Walcerz, Director of Academic Assessment.
The board also ratified a payment of $550,596.74 to Dell Marketing, Round Rock, Texas, for the purchase of 225 desktop computers and associated hardware and software for the labs, and a payment of $121,500 to McGraw Hill Companies, Blacklick, Ohio, for the purchase of mathematics software. Other purchases totaling just over $150,000 for the three labs will cover lab chairs, computer lab tables, and Laserjet Printers. The labs are supported in part by a $99,990 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
University of Alabama first-year head coach Dan Waters announced Wednesday that 27 student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Crimson Tide track and field program next season.
The signees span the spectrum of event as Waters and his staff assembled a group that appears primed to transform the program. The class features 16 signees on the men's side and 11 newcomers to the women's squad. Of the 27 who signed, 11 are currently ranked in the top 25 nationally in their respective events while 19 have won at least one state championship.
"There's quite a few student-athletes we signed that I feel are future pillars of the program and can develop into multiple point scorers in the future," Waters said. "I believe we really stuck close to the vision of the program and the direction we want to head. This group of talented student-athletes is big step forward in our overall plan to bring Alabama track and field to a position of prominence in the SEC and nationally."
The men's class features six sprinters including one of the country's top 200-meter runners in Jermaine Authorlee who is currently ranked third in the event and James Harrington who is one of the top sprinters in Iowa high school history. The group of incoming sprinters is bolstered by Alabamian and 400-meter state champion Quincy Smith.
The Tide also signed one of the country's best high jumpers in Justin Fondren who was the bronze medalist at the World Youth Championships and the champion at the New Balance National Championships. In the horizontal jumps, the men's team added Imani Brown, the fifth ranked triple jumper in the 2012 class.
The men's class also features four throwers, including Hayden Reed who is ranked in the top 10 nationally in both the discus and shot put.
The women's class includes Sydney Conley, the daughter of Olympic gold medalist and world champion Mike Conley. She is currently the top-ranked long jumper in the class and is also ranked in the top 10 in the 60 meters. In the sprints, the Tide signed two of the top in-state talents in Joy Maneice-Marbury and Lacey Dent from Hoover and Mobile, Ala., respectively. Florida 400-meter state champion Kyri Tabor also joins the talented influx of sprinters.
The bulk of the women's class is comprised of distance runners, including Kimberly Ficenec who claimed the New Balance Nationals 800-meter title last year and Taylor Hatfield who was the Ohio state champion and state record holder in the 800 meters.
"The coaching staff did a great job working hard all fall and into the winter months to put together a very talented group," Waters said. "I'm very pleased with the overall class and our ability to fill our needs."

He is one of the top-ranked athletes in the 200 meters but also shows promise in both the 100 and the 400 meters. I am very excited about watching him develop at Alabama.

The Downgrade Does Matter, But Not for the Reasons the Headlines ShoutAugust 2011
Late Friday night Standard & Poor's announced that it downgraded the long-term debt obligations of the U.S. government and its related entities. Although the possibility of this rating action was well telegraphed, the timing was a surprise to some.
The rating agency was particularly clear. In order for the government to maintain the AAA rating, S&P needed to see a meaningful and credible deficit reduction plan in place that would begin the process of addressing the large structural deficits and the explosive growth in our accumulated debt levels.
The Debt-to-GDP Ratio Hits a Level of Concern
Countries that allow their debt burden to rise to a level that is equal to the level of economic output (GDP) are vulnerable to lose their top tier rating. Clearly Washington's political rhetoric contributed to S&P's loss of confidence in policy makers' ability to slow or reverse the march toward a 100% debt-to-GDP ratio. As such, S&P acted consistently with its method.
A U.S. Default, As Some Loose Talk Has Suggested, Will Not Occur in Our View
- Indeed, Credit Default Swap spreads, a measure of the expectation that an issuer will default, have fallen from a peak on July 28, although last week's turmoil saw a small uptick.
- The dollar made its low on April 29, and has been working higher since, albeit with much volatility.
- The issue at hand today is more political than economic: interest rates are at rock-bottom, and banks and corporations are awash in cash. Indeed, the Bank of New York is now making its large depositors pay for the privilege! Local governments and individuals are already making the tough choices: cutting spending and saving more. Lastly, corporations are reporting strong gains in earnings.
U.S. Treasuries Have Not Lost Their Appeal—Yet
Although the implications of the downgrade should not be minimized, the near term impact on bond markets might be more modest than we are seeing among equities. Most investors have recognized the fiscal implications of the federal government's counter-cyclical fiscal policy and lack of fiscal discipline. Investor perception appears to be that the creditworthiness or claim-paying ability of the federal government is not in question. Over time, however, unless Congress acts, we are likely to see bond buyers demanding a higher interest rate to hold government issues. Thus far, the federal government has continued to be able to raise large amounts of capital at historically low interest rates. We do not see this changing.
Global bond investors have continued to view the U.S government fixed income markets as the safest, deepest and most liquid in the world—this relative status has not yet been affected by the change in rating. In fact, since the financial crisis broke, world central banks have increased their holdings of U.S. Treasury debt by over two trillion dollars.
The Downgrade Has Implications for Other Issuers
U.S. Treasury debt now has a split long term credit rating of AAA, AA+, AAA by Moody's, S&P and Fitch, respectively. In addition to U.S. Treasury notes, agency debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, federal farm credit, federal home loan bank as well as others will also be downgraded by one notch. The magnitude of this rating shift is fairly broad based, essentially affecting over 75% of the investment grade taxable bond universe. The implications of the rating revision are not limited to the taxable bond market. The downgrade of the government's rating potentially affects over 7,000 issues within the municipal bond market. Pre-refunded debt, certain housing and health care issues and a number of states that receive significant revenues from federal government transfers and payments are likely being reviewed for possible downgrade.
We Remain Focused on Capital Preservation and Individual Security Selection for Fixed Income Clients
We do not consider events surrounding the downgrade of U.S. Treasury securities warranting a change in our current investment themes or our management of fixed income portfolios. We continue to believe that the fixed income markets have benefited from extraordinarily low interest rates. Our view specifically regarding the 10-year Treasury is that nominal and inflation-adjusted yields are unattractive. Therefore, we remain cautious but are continuing to find bottom-up oriented opportunities as we have found right through the crisis.
Volatility Will Be the Norm in the Near Term
The behavior of the equities markets today—with the North and South American benchmarks down between 4.04% (Canada) and 8.08% (Brazil)—is not related to S&P's action on Friday. The U.S. market weakness followed markets in Europe where investors became anxious over the real prospect that Spain and Italy would require European Central Bank support to pay their debts beyond the token advances the Bank made last week. French and German banks, which hold sizeable amounts of these nations' debts, fell between 4.00% and 8.00%, more than the country benchmarks. The impact was interpreted to mean lower euro zone growth and therefore lower U.S. exports to Europe as well as an added headwind to China accelerating its growth following several quarters of inflation fighting austerity. In our view, these factors threaten American jobs.
It is perhaps fortunate the Fed's main policy group will meet tomorrow. With Congress incapable of taking decisive action it is again up to the Fed to reassure markets so that today's fears do not spin downward and lead to a full-blown recession.
The Downgrade Forces Clarity
Our view is that the downgrade does matter, but not for the reasons the headlines shout. It matters because the political choices before our leaders are now stark. The U.S. cannot continue to borrow $0.40 for every dollar it spends. We hold on to the view that politicians will place reality above ideology and work to devise policies that lead to a less-intrusive government, that promote growth policies guided by clear regulations, and that strengthen the U.S.' long-held comparative advantages in technology, finance, education, healthcare and industrial processes, among others. The markets and their constituents will no doubt help to focus this clarity.

NYS Security Compromise Policy
To all Faculty, staff, and administrators:
New York
What does this mean to me? Identity theft has become a major problem over the last few years. Over 51 million Americans have had their personal information compromised since February 2005 (including more than 3 million NYS residents - see the CSCIC list at the end). Criminals - and organized crime in particular - have found it to be a very lucrative business. With a few key pieces of personal information – a name, SSN, birth date and address – they can use your identity to open new credit card and financial accounts, take out a mortgage on your house, and generally plunder your financial accounts for huge amounts of money before you even realize it is happening. Repairing the damage to your credit rating takes years, and is difficult if not impossible. On a personal level, we all understand and support this legislation since we all would want to know if our personal information has fallen into the wrong hands.
What does this mean for
What is the College doing to protect our systems and data? Campus Technology Services (CTS), the central technology and support organization serving the campus, provides centralized administrative systems that serve faculty, staff, and students. CTS also supports and maintains all College-owned faculty and staff workstations. The most common way that systems are compromised is through known exploits on machines that are not properly patched.
What should you do? Review practices regarding use of computer systems within your unit – particularly those systems that are not stored, managed and maintained by CTS. If you have a local MS Access database on a machine in your office, or any locally stored database of students, clients, constituents or employees, you should contact CTS to discuss options for securing that data.
Data should never be stored on local workstations – not only is that data not part of any backup and recovery process, but local workstations can be (and are) stolen. The College provides file servers accessible through the network that provide secure storage for all of your data files.
Any stolen or lost computers (desktops or laptops) should be reported to University Police immediately. You should keep a record of all of your unit's computer hardware (make, model, serial number and MAC address) in the event that it is stolen or lost.
The proliferation of external USB/Firewire disk drives and USB memory keys is another threat. These portable devices can also store large amounts of data that is easily lost or stolen. Again, data should only be stored on centralized College servers.
If your unit is not already using a centralized file share on a CTS server, chances are your employees are using local or removable storage that is not secure. Please call CTS at x6465 to set up a file share for your office.
It is critical that when an employee leaves your unit, please notify CTS so that their access to College systems can be terminated. Former employees can retain e-mail privileges where necessary, but should not have access to other College systems after they leave.
Take stock of physical security within your unit. Are the offices and cabinets where sensitive paper records are stored secure and accessible to authorized personnel only? Are there alarm systems covering these areas?
Most importantly, you need to raise awareness among everyone within your unit about the seriousness of cyber security threats. Understanding the issues and the ramifications of a compromise – personally and institutionally – is the only thing that will make someone think twice about downloading that data file onto their laptop or USB key. Have your people check the contents of their computers and storage devices and eliminate anything that doesn't need to be there. Remind everyone not to e-mail confidential data files or SSNs.
If a compromise is suspected: If you suspect that a computer system in your unit has been compromised, or if any laptop or College-owned desktop computer is lost or stolen, please notify CTS and University Police immediately. We will work with you to determine whether or not a compromise has occurred, and what actions need to be taken.
If a compromise occurs: The law requires us to notify three NYS offices:
