Interest in SPEERMINT provisioning issues.
Richard Shockey <richard@...>
There was some talk in San Diego of interest in peeling off the provisioning issues surrounding SPEERMINT information registries into a separate work item. I'd like to get a poll of the list to see again how many people are interested in the work and what might be the proper way to expedite this. We're certainly not ready to provision policy yet but its clear that some form of SPEERMINT provisioning requirements document is in order. As I mentioned in the meeting there has been some preliminary work in the area from the ENUM WG however it is based on EPP and as I mentioned most of the OSS systems now deployed in carrier networks have generally been based on SOAP/XML.

Remodeling and repairing bring big returns
Last week, we talked about getting your home ready to sell during the traditional busy selling season. Most of that advice centered around minor improvements and basic cleaning and de-cluttering around the house. But what about actual remodeling or more costly repairs that may be needed? Are they worth the time, money and effort or will just a little nip and tuck do the job?
Before we move on to the big stuff, according to a survey released in December by HomeGain.com, there are five home improvements recommended by real estate professionals that bring the best return when selling your home.
As previously mentioned, cleaning and de-cluttering continues to rank as the top suggested home improvement recommended by 98 percent of real estate brokers. The estimated cost can be as little as $200 and return a value of nearly $1,700 to the home's sale price, a 872 percent return on investment.
Second is home staging with a cost of $300 and a return of $1,780, a 586 percent return.
Third is lightening and brightening, $230 cost and a $1,300 return, a 572 percent return.
Fourth is landscaping with an estimated cost of $320 and a return of $1,500, a 473 percent return.
Fifth is repairing plumbing, $385 in costs and $1,250 in returns, a 327 percent return.
All of the above is fine if you feel your home just needs some sprucing up, but if you're looking at old kitchens, baths, heating and air conditioning, windows and floors you might want to consider a remodel. Conventional wisdom is that a homeowner will get back between 80 and 90 percent of the cost of a major remodel within the first year or two of the project. Freddie Mac has published some estimated remodeling and repair costs which could work as a guideline if you're considering some of this work prior to sale.
New kitchens continue to sell homes and can cost a minimum of $8,000 and most of the time a lot more. Same thing with bathrooms which according to Freddie Mac range between $7,000 to $12,000. The addition of a half bath is estimated to be $3,500 to $5,000 and a full bath $7,000 to $12,000.
Windows, especially in Florida, which has specific guidelines when replacing windows because of hurricanes, range from $250 to $500 each. But hurricane proof windows can be a lot more if your renovation requires them.
Freddie Mac's estimate to replace a central air conditioning system is $1,500 to $3,000 and an electric heat pump, $2,200 to $3,600.
Adding an addition on to your cottage is $70 to $120 per square foot, and a garage $6,000 to $9,500.
New flooring is estimated at $11 to $22 per square foot for ceramic tile, wall-to-wall carpeting is $3.38 to $6.61 per square foot and sanding and refinishing wood floors is $1.50 to $3.30 a square foot.
Keep in mind that these estimates are based on national averages, therefore, some of the numbers may be low and others about right. However, remember these are lean times for building contractors and anyone selling home improvement materials, so shopping around is definitely worth the time.
So whether it's a nip and a tuck or a new kitchen that's required, get it done before placing your home on the market. Either way, good luck and may the gods of real estate look favorably upon your de-cluttered countertops and leak-free faucets.

While Pete Seeger topped the charts with the pioneering folk group The Weavers in 1950 with "Goodnight, Irene," his cover of Malvina Reynolds "Little Boxes" was his only pop hit as a solo artist, reaching No. 70 in 1964.
His composition "Turn! Turn! Turn!," however, fared better, topping the charts for The Byrds in 1965 as the titletrack single of the folk-rock group's second album.
"[Byrds frontman] Roger McGuinn showed it to me on the road during one of our early tours--Summer of '65," recalls Chris Hillman, who played bass and sang in the legendary group. He still includes its signature song, which Seeger adapted from the Book Of Ecclesiastes, in his current shows with his revived country band Desert Rose and his long-running duo with Herb Pedersen.
"Roger had worked with Judy Collins prior to forming The Byrds, and I believe she recorded a version much closer to Pete's original arrangement," Hillman continues. "Here we were at the back of the tour bus and he's playing this incredible song! Maybe I said, 'We need to record this when we get back to L.A.'"
As for Seeger himself, Hillman says, "Pete Seeger was a hero to me and such an inspiration to all of us in The Byrds. I remember seeing him perform in 1961 in San Diego; going backstage with a friend of mine and meeting him was something I'll always cherish. He took the time to talk with us and his encouraging words that night still ring in my ears: 'You boys practice real hard and sing like you mean it!' What an amazing man!"
Besides still playing "Turn! Turn! Turn!" at his concerts, "I've played it at church and a few funerals over the last 40 years," Hillman notes. "Roger so graciously played and sang it at my wedding 35 years ago. There is magic in those old verses from Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3."

When Is It Time to See a Fertility Specialist?
You're 33 years old and you've been trying to get pregnant for a year. Is it time to see an infertility specialist?
In the WebMD Trying to Conceive Community, Yvette Smith, MD, MPH, provides these general guidelines:
- No need to see a specialist if: You aren't avoiding pregnancy, but you aren't actively pursuing it either.
- Get fertility testing if: You are under 35 years old and have been trying to conceive for a year or are over 35 and have been trying for six months.
- Consult with an infertility specialist if:
- You have been tested and no obvious problem was found. At this point, you are charting your temperature, watching mucus, timing intercourse, and/or using ovulation predictor kits. It's a good time to discuss other options.
- You have an established fertility problem and are using the fertility drug clomiphene citrate. You have ovulated on this drug and taken it for three months without getting pregnant.
While offering these guidelines, Smith also points out that some couples choose not to consult with a specialist at any point while trying to conceive.
But if you do, she says, be careful who you see. Your ob-gyn or a general practitioner can do much of the initial testing and some treatment. When it's time to see a specialist, make sure the person is trained and board eligible or certified in the subspecialty of reproduction and infertility.
Are you wondering if you should see a specialist about infertility?

Rosco, a 13 year old golden retriever rescue, went missing from his Louisville, Kentucky home after a stroll around the neighborhood, according to CNN. The close-knit community is familiar with seeing Rosco make his daily rounds through the neighborhood. He is usually only gone about an hour. After four hours, the Dougherty family started looking for him. So did the neighbors.
On the night of May 19, 2014, 12 hours after he went missing, security cameras outside the family's home captured Rosco slowly ambling up the driveway. On the camera you can see the family's other dogs excitedly greet him. The family arrives home from looking for him at the same time and run to see him.
That's when they discovered Rosco had undergone surgery. His right hind leg had been shaven, showing a wound with a minimum of ten stitches. His paw was also shaven where an IV may have been connected. Rosco had an on-and-off again hot spot that had been treated in that area for years. His nails were also trimmed.
The Dougherty's called every veterinarian in the area but no one had treated Rosco. The wound had been covered with glue and resembled an amatuer-ish surgery. The Dougherty's brought Rosco to go through laser therapy to help heal the wound. He was also put on antibiotics and pain medication.
It is unknown what happened to Rosco, who is still shaking and in shock.
Lori Dougherty had her pig stolen several years earlier. The Dougherty's are also the owners of Ride On Curlin, a colt that runs for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, and who is being prepared for the Belmont, according to America's Best Racing.

Joc Pederson remained stuck on 28 stolen bases in his quest for a 30-30 season. The Albuquerque Isotopes, for a change, managed to still finish the evening on a positive note.
Albuquerque pulled off a 7-4 victory over the Colorado Springs Sky Sox on Wednesday to start a road trip with a win after losing six of seven at home. Tim Federowicz's two-run homer in the seventh inning snapped a 4-4 tie.
Pederson was 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored. He was caught stealing third base in the fifth inning.
Brock Peterson hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Mike Baxter added an RBI double in the second to give Albuquerque (58-73) the early lead. Colorado Springs (51-81) tied things up in its half of the second.
The Sky Sox took the lead in the fifth on Jason Pridie's solo home run. Alex Guerrero tied it again with an RBI single in the sixth.
Pederson drew a two-out walk in the seventh. Federowicz then blasted a flyball over the left field fence.
Neither starting pitcher was very effective. The Isotopes' Matt Magill gave up three runs on six hits and three walks in four innings.
Brian Burres allowed four runs in six innings for the Sky Sox. Christian Friedrich (2-9) gave up Federowicz's home run in his only inning of work and took the loss.
Bruce Billings (1-1) allowed one run in three innings of relief to claim the victory. Yimi Garcia tossed two scoreless innings to earn his fourth save.
Guerrero was 3-for-4 with two runs scored, falling a home run shy of the cycle. Peterson went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in addition to his early home run.
Albuquerque and Colorado Springs will continue their series Thursday at 6:35 p.m. Right-hander Zach Lee (7-11, 5.36 ERA) will take the mound for the Isotopes against Sky Sox right-hander Jair Jurrjens (0-3, 3.80).
Prior to the game, infielder Carlos Triunfel rejoined the roster after having been demoted by the Dodgers on Tuesday. ... To make room for Triunfel, infielder Delvis Morales (sprained right ankle) was placed on the disabled list.

(Michele Forman, professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences, told the New York Times that the need for more preventive care in breast cancer is paramount. She was a leader of a report on breast cancer.)
The report is the result of the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act, which was passed in 2008 and required the secretary of health and human services to create a committee to study breast cancer research. A third of the members were scientists, a third were from government and a third were from advocacy groups. The advocates, Dr. Forman said, brought a sense of urgency to the group. "People who are not survivors need to have that urgency there," she said.
Pointing to the vaccine now being offered to girls to prevent cervical cancer, Dr. Forman said, "I look forward to the day when we have an early preventive strategy for breast cancer."

This research project seeks fundamental understanding of how cells in living organisms interact with their environment and, more specifically, how influenza A viruses attack the human body. Subtypes of influenza A virus have caused pandemics throughout history and pose grave danger due to the continuous evolution of avian and swine viruses. This concern is underscored by recent outbreaks of the H5N1 strain among avian population and the high fatality rate (60 percent) in infected human population. Should such animal strains acquire particular genetic mutations to allow human-to-human transmission, pandemics could result.
Understanding the targeting specificity of influenza A virus is important not only for the surveillance of such threats but also for the development of vaccines and treatments. In addition to fundamental science, Drs. Zhu and Liu will also collaborate with a high-tech company, MicroSurfaces Inc., in translating academic research to the commercial world and in developing new tools for biochemical research.

First, if Colombia or the Dominican Republic win this season, it will be the first time for both countries. Second, if Mexico or Puerto Rico win this season, it will end their tie. In 2012, Vanessa De Roide won for Puerto Rico. In doing so, she tied up Puerto Rico with Mexico as being the only two countries to have won the competition twice. A win by either country this season could make that nation become the first to capture the title three years.

And yet, it remains unclear why the same type of program has yet to be offered in more markets. In fall 2012, LALATE reported that the shows was so strong that it led Univision to become the number three watched network in the U.S. on Sundays, beating even CBS and NBC. Locally, the show was the number one most watched telecast in Miami at the time, overall, and first in Los Angeles for the 18-49 age bracket.

Shiitake Medicinal Mushroom Could Cure Hepatitis?
A Japanese study has brought hope for hepatitis sufferers. This animal study into the effects of Shiitake medicinal mushroom found that certain compounds suppress liver inflammation, and could become a cure for hepatitis.
Hepatitis is a widespread viral liver disease, where the liver becomes inflamed. Initial symptoms are usually flu-like, with muscle and joint aches, and fever. Hepatitis sometimes leads to liver cirrhosis. If acute hepatitis is untreated it could lead to acute liver failure, where the liver is unable to clear toxins from the body. This is a life-threatening condition which could require a liver transplant.
Researchers (Ayano Itoh, Katsuhiro Isoda, et al) at Osaka University, Japan, developed an animal study where hepatitis was induced in mice, and treated with compounds extracted from Shiitake medicinal mushrooms.
Shiitake is a very popular edible mushroom . It's native to East Asia, and has been cultivated for over a thousand years. Shiitake is widely used in traditional medicine, and is frequently dried and sold as preserved food all over the world. Shiitake medicinal mushroom is included in many alternative medicines used by cancer patients to complement their traditional therapies.
Shiitake medicinal mushrooms contain several beneficial bioactive compounds known as polyphenols. The researchers in this Japanese study extracted syringic acid and vanillic acid from the Shiitake medicinal mushrooms.
Shiitake medicinal mushroom extract suppressed hepatitis
Syringic acid and vanillic acid was given to the mice before hepatitis was induced, and their blood was tested. The Shiitake medicinal mushroom extract significantly decreased the levels of inflammatory cytokine levels in the blood. These results clearly indicate that syringic acid and vanillic acid have a protective effect.
Syringic acid and vanillic acid are small molecules, which can be synthesized easily, which means new drugs can be developed from Shiitake medicinal mushrooms to fight hepatitis.

A New Format for Coaching Education Materials
When I was starting out as a coach I was looking for information on coaching methods my only option were books. Some were interesting and educational but there is only so much I could really understand from a book. I have always been more of a visual learner. I learn much more quickly and completely by seeing things first hand rather than just from descriptions.
Video Cassettes and later, DVD's, allowed me to see examples of skills, techniques and tactics that I could relate to the players that I was working with. The best of these gave detailed descriptions of coaching points variations and progressions.
Online video has become more and more accessible in the last five years making it easier and quicker to see get to exactly what you're looking for. Rather than watching an hour video on a topic you can search for a clip of that shows you just what you're looking for. The clips are usually short, five or 10 minutes most commonly. Our Video Library has more than 400 clips that cover virtually every technical and tactical topic.
We've recently offered a combination of media that I think covers the best of everything. Coaching the Barcelona 4-3-3 Attacking includes videos of actual FC Barcelona games. The attacking patterns are broken down and explained. The package also includes eBooks that take this information one step further show you diagrams and and descriptions of drills and exercise that you can use to teach your team the concepts that Barcelona uses to build their attack. So now I can see it done at the highest level, have it broken down into it's components and see a complete explanation of how I can train my team to play the same way. That's a long way from reading a book.
If you're looking for a the latest in coaching education I'd suggest you check out Coaching the Barcelona 4-3-3 Attacking.
Have a great day!

Reviews for Hamburger Gravy
"I actually thought this recipe was too simple to be very good, but I was wrong! A quick and easy meal (we poured it over biscuits and mashed potatoes)."
"06/16/2015, Very good! Doubled the recipe for my family of five. Only used one can of mushrooms for double recipe. Added onion and garlic to meat while frying. Also added cayenne and crushed red pepper to taste. Wanted more spice but not more salt. And added a extra cup of milk to double recipe. 06/19/2015, did same today but added a cream of celery soup and green bell pepper to hamburger too."
"We enjoyed this dish very much. When I browned the meat I added chopped onions and garlic salt. I will definitely make this again."
"I really liked the "bones" of this recipe in that it sounded simple and filling, however, I knew this would not feed my family of 3 teenagers! i did use 1# 93% lean hamburger, 1 can health smart soup, added 2 cans of mushrooms, 1 cup Greek yogurt, a little extra bouillion, frozen peas, fresh cracked pepper and fresh parsley. Instead of mashed potatoes I served the "gravy" over baked potatoes. The result was great and filling. Will definitely make again and serve with a salad.I think the recipe would have been a little bland without the adjustments."
"Made it and served it over homemade biscuits. Very good!!! and super easy!"

Toy, Airplane, Lindbergh, King Collection
On May 20-21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh literally flew into history when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, thus becoming the first pilot to fly solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. This flight made Lindbergh a household name and catapulted him into fame and celebrity. The objects of popular culture in the National Collection display everything from ashtrays to wristwatches reflect the public adulation for Lindbergh and the powerful commercial response to his celebrity. More than 75 years after the Spirit's historic flight, Lindbergh's name still has the power help sell manufactured goods.
Gift of the Stanley King Family.

This video, via the MIT News Office, takes a look at the Paradiso Synthesizer, a monster DIY modular created by Joe Paradiso.
In 1973, Media Lab associate professor Joe Paradiso was an undergraduate at Tufts University, and didn't know anyone who had built an analog music synthesizer from scratch.
It was a time, he says, when information and parts for do-it-yourself projects were scarce, and digital synthesizer production was on the rise. But, he decided to tackle the project — without any formal training — and sought out advice from local college professors, including his now-colleague in the Media Lab, Barry Vercoe.
Paradiso gathered information from manufacturers' data sheets and hobbyist magazines he found in public libraries. He taught himself basic electronics, scrounged for parts from surplus stores and spent a decade and a half building modules and hacking consumer keyboards to create the synth, which he completed in the 1980s.
Paradiso thinks his modular may be the largest DIY modular in the world, with 125 modules (details below). Let us know in the comments if you've built a larger DIY modular!
Paradiso's modular is on display at MIT. Every few weeks, Paradiso changes the patch to create a new sonic environment. The synthesizer streams live online 24 hours a day at http://synth.media.mit.edu; starting this week, visitors to the synthesizer's website can even change the patch parameters online.

by Dawgelene "Dr Dawj" Sangster-Actress/Singer Keke Palmer visited Corliss H.S. in Chicago as part of Verizon's "Potential of Us" campaign. The "Potential of Us" campaign focuses on helping individuals from under-served communities enhance their lives and inspire positive change through technology. Stars like Keke Palmer, Morris Chestnut, Regina Hall and Lance gross, have come together to help inspire positive change within the African American community.
During the visit, Keke chatted with students about social media and how utilizing it can help to inspire positive change in the lives of others. Several students shared their Pinterest boards and talked about how they were inspired by Verizon's campaign to excel further. Brian Pasco from Verizon, presented Corliss H.S. principal Mr. Leonard Harris with a $25,000 check towards keeping the students connected to technology. The campaign brought in Summer Jackson of WCIU to host the event, and engage several students in discussions about technology. Afterwards, Verizon provided students with lunch and volunteer mentors to further discuss how technology impacts lives.
Special thanks to Larvetta Smith (L3 Eventeurs) and Erica Sevilla (Multicultural Marketing Strategist, Verizon) for bringing the event to life. For more information on Verizon's Potential of Us campaign, click HERE.

College Hockey:NCHC Pick: Dec. 27
In the last week before the break, Matthew and I both went 7-2-2 (.727). On the year, I still hold a one-game lead, as I am 54-36-12 (.588) and Matthew is 53-37-12 (.578).
We'll pick the Saturday game after Friday's result.
Friday, Dec. 27
Western Michigan vs. No. 3 Michigan (Great Lakes Invitational)
Candace: Western got a split against Minnesota-Duluth in its last outing, but I don't think the Broncos can pull it out against the Wolverines. Michigan 4-2
Matthew: Michigan Tech picking up its first GLI title in a generation last season reminded us that strange things happen sometimes in college hockey, but I'm not expecting any huge surprises from this semifinal game. I'm curious to see what if any effect having this year's tournament outdoors at Comerica Park might have on the four teams involved, but I can't see the Wolverines dropping this one. Michigan 5-3

BreakOUT! Files Declaration in Support of NOPD Consent Decree
Also Advocates for Strengthened Provisions and Greater IPM Involvement
BreakOUT! filed a Declaration in support of the proposed Consent Decree with the New Orleans Police Department on Friday, which also expressed support for greater involvement by the Independent Police Monitor and strengthened provisions for NOPD oversight. The Congress of Day Laborers also filed a Declaration in support and provided two witness testimonies.
(Left, community members from BreakOUT!, Women With a Vision, Brotherhood, Inc., and other concerned citizens meet with DOJ at WWAV offices during federal investigation, 2010.)
The Declaration, written by BreakOUT! director, Wesley Ware, cites national data about LGBTQ youth interactions with law enforcement, as well as member experiences with the NOPD. Ware also notes, "While many in the NOPD have been receptive to hearing our recommendations or concerns, I have also had representatives from the Department tell me that transgender women simply should not walk down certain streets in New Orleans, regardless of whether or not they live nearby. To this, we say, 'Walking while transgender is not a crime.'"
The Declaration goes on to discuss specific areas in need of strengthening, such as ensuring an accountability mechanism for officers on foot patrol or others not in vehicles that are to be equipped with audio and visual recording of all officer interactions. The Declaration also addresses strengthening provisions for the Office of the Independent Police Monitor, which BreakOUT! has worked closely with to provide "Know Your Rights" trainings for members, nothing that the Independent Police Monitor "is the entity that will remain in New Orleans long after the DOJ has gone."
The Declaration also applauds the DOJ and NOPD for groundbreaking language specific to LGBTQ community and law enforcement interactions, including prohibiting the profiling of people based on gender identity or perceived sexual orientation.
It goes on to state, "We know from the stories told to us by so many of our young people, from those who have lost family members to the NOPD, and from community representatives that have been working to reform the NOPD for decades that there is a clear need for full oversight of the NOPD and a thorough Decree with extensive provisions to outline the path to reform...It is imperative that nothing short of this Decree is implemented to ensure the safety and well-being of LGBTQ youth and young adults of color in this City and to protect the rights of all New Orleanians who live in fear of those who are supposed to protect us."
The Declaration can be read below. Public comments made to the court by BreakOUT! members and other concerned community members can be found here.
Judge Susie Morgan did not give any indication when she would rule on the proposed Consent Decree.

Within seconds (or so it seemed) of Fidel Castro announcing his resignation as the leader of Cuba, the American media was rife with rumors of future cruise ship calls to Havana. Currently, Americans are prohibited from traveling to Cuba by a decades-old U.S. trade embargo, but sanctions could be lifted if a friendlier regime starts to hold sway. If you've caught the Cuba cruise fever, don't put out your cigars just yet. You won't see a ship from a U.S.-owned company in Havana anytime soon.
Here's how the rumor mill got going: On Tuesday, Castro announced that he would not accept another term as president of Cuba. His brother Raul, who has been serving as acting president since July 2006, will officially take over the role this weekend.
Later that day, UBS Analyst Robin Farley put out a report saying that "new leadership [in Cuba] could be a positive event for the cruise industry if diplomatic relations resulted in the opening of Cuba to American tourism." Although Farley acknowledged that no one knows if and when the U.S. will end its economic embargo of Cuba, she titillated the crowd by offering her company's belief that "operators could build dockside infrastructure on a much faster timeline than it would take to build U.S. branded hotel product. Itineraries could be sold with just several months advance notice."
Suddenly, everyone began talking about cruising to Cuba. Even Cruise Critic readers joined the fray. Member Host Mach posted a thread asking if "in a few years we might see Havana on the list of ports of call for Carnival?" and 53 percent of Cruise Critic readers said in a recent poll that they've always wanted to go. But are Cuba cruises really in our future?
It is true that cruise ships have visited and continue to call in Havana and other Cuban ports. Pullmantur ships traveled to Cuba until Royal Caribbean bought the Spanish line, and Britain's Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has ships visiting the island nation this year.
Plus, it wouldn't be too hard to add Cuba to a Caribbean itinerary. "From a purely logistical standpoint, it's very easy to put Cuba into an itinerary," says Holland America spokesman Erik Elvejord. "It's close to the gateways. You could switch Cuba for St. Thomas on an itinerary and it wouldn't hurt fuel efficiency."
But Elvejord acknowledges the many issues standing in the way of Cuba cruising. The obvious is the political one -- the U.S. has not announced a plan to end the embargo, and there's no sense of whether that will happen in the next six months, five years, or never. If it should happen, there are questions of cost (will Cuba levy a tax on visitors?) and access (how many berths will be available for new cruise ships and what restrictions will be placed on U.S. tourists?).
So until the U.S. ends the embargo, U.S.-based cruise lines refuse to speculate on when and if they'll be cruising there. As Royal Caribbean and Celebrity so succinctly put it in an official statement: "Until the government regulations change, we don't discuss Cuba." But we bet that if the restrictions are lifted, the cruise lines will jockey for a berth at a new (to them) port, since there are so few accessible Caribbean ports that aren't already on cruise line itineraries.
In the meantime, add your opinion to the growing list on Cruise Critic's boards. Or, put on a little Barry Manilow, and dream of the day when you can disembark a mega-ship and set foot on Cuba's once-forbidden shores.

Fantasies of spring have been creeping into our daydreams lately. And we finally figured out why. It's the Ofrésia ($88) our boss has been wearing. Notes of freesia and black pepper have our noses on full alert, seeking out any hints of warmer weather. We're feeling very April-showers-and-May-flowers all of a sudden.

Our Mission
For 75 years the Chicago Teachers Union has been in the forefront of education advocacy and public school reform in Chicago. The Chicago Teachers Union represents nearly 30,000 teachers and educational support personnel working in the Chicago Public Schools and, by extension, the students and families they serve. CTU, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers and the Illinois Federation of Teachers, is the third largest teachers local in the country and the largest local union in Illinois.
The Chicago Teachers Union is an organization of educators dedicated to advancing and promoting quality public education, improving teaching and learning conditions, and protecting members' rights.
Chicago Teachers Union affiliations include the Chicago Federation of Labor (CFL), the Illinois State Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (ISFL-CIO), the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), the Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT), and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
President Karen Lewis was elected president of the 30,000-member Chicago Teachers Union on June 11, 2010. A member of CTU since 1988, Mrs. Lewis taught high school chemistry in the Chicago Public Schools for 22 years. She believes that students, parents, teachers and community members are educators' natural allies. Her goal is to truly improve Chicago Public Schools and stand firmly against the privatization of public education. The only National Board Certified Teacher to lead a U.S. labor union, she also serves as executive vice president to the Illinois Federation of Teachers and as vice president of the American Federation of Teachers. Karen is a product of Chicago Public Schools, having attended Kozminski Elementary School and Kenwood High School, until accepting early admission at Mount Holyoke College. She later transferred to Dartmouth College, where she earned the distinction of being the only African American woman in the class of 1974. Mrs. Lewis comes from a family of educators -- her father, mother and husband, John Lewis, who is now retired, all were CPS teachers.
Vice President Jesse Sharkey, a history teacher at Senn High School, also served as the Union Delegate. During 2004 campaign he was involved in mobilizing hundreds of parents, launched a website, put a ballot initiative up in the 48th ward, and built relationships with dozens of community organizations and religious groups to oppose the establishment of a military academy at Senn. That experience taught him that we can defend our public schools against privatization. He studied history and education at Brown University (Bachelor of Arts, 1992 and Masters of Arts in Teaching, 1997) where he studied and worked with many of the leaders of the Coalition of Essential Schools. Prior to becoming the Vice-President of the CTU in June 2010, he taught Social Studies for 10 years in the Chicago Public Schools at Senn.
Recording Secretary Michael E. Brunson is first and foremost an educator. He spent most of his time teaching in primary grades in Chicago Public Schools (CPS). He was a strong advocate of the Local School Councils in the Chicago public schools and served as Recording Secretary of South Side United, an organization whose main goal was to network local school councils on Chicago's South Side. He became active in the CTU after working with its members in the Grassroots Education Movement (GEM) coalition. He later was elected Recording Secretary of the Chicago Teachers Union in the historic 2010 Chicago Teachers Union elections.
Financial Secretary Kristine Mayle, a middle school special education teacher, became active in the Chicago Teachers Union when her school, De La Cruz Academy was targeted for closure in 2008. She served as delegate during the school's final year and worked with teachers, parents and community members from neighboring schools to organize against the closure. After the closure of De La Cruz, Kristine taught at Eberhart Elementary School before becoming Financial Secretary of the CTU, where she is also the liaison to several committees, including Rules and Elections, Special Education, Women's Rights, and PSRPs. Kristine studied English and Comparative Literature (Bachelor of Arts, DePaul University, 2000). After feeling unfulfilled working in the private sector, she realized that her true calling was in education and returned to DePaul for their Elementary/Special Education Dual Certification Program (Master of Arts in Teaching, DePaul University, 2006).

Ahhh Cat NappingMay 4th 2008 10:24 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
I got many hours of cat napping in the bedroom today-with mom. I am allowed around Razberry the fish because I just ignore him. I am pretty sure he ignores me too. None of the cats have bothered Razberry, kind of strange. I guess we just accepted him and moved on. It was so hard to stay asleep today because so many neighbors were bar-be-queing for Cinco De Mayo. There were lots of yard parties and kids playing but oh man the smell of what was cooking was driving me crazy. Poor Duke and Lexi. I'll bet they were licking thier chops all day. We did not bar-be-que cuz dad was tired. They went to the Fullerton Railroad Days this morning, and that was all mom's back could take. Dad loves trains. He has so many that it is crazy. He used to have it set up in the storage/computer room. We had a hamster back then, actually Reno had a hamster and her name was Genny. Genny used to ride in the train. It was great. Reno used to just watch her go for her ride. I thought Genny was a mouse at first, but we learned quickly we were not to mess with her, besides she was Reno's pet. He loved that hamster, and the hamster never tried to bite him. She used to bite mom all the time. Little bites tho, nothing serious. Time to go find a spot to settle in for the night.
I was Mr. Lazy todayMay 3rd 2008 9:11 pm

My mom's back was really hurting today, so when she came back from the doctor, I thought it best for me to go lie down with her just to make sure everything was ok. We just woke up one hour ago. That was some cat nap!
Blah I hate the heatApril 12th 2008 10:08 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
It is cooling off now, but earlier we were all cat napping on the floor by the fans. This house is very old and has no insulation. Mom told Dad they are buying an air conditioner for the window, so we dont get heat sick. I am one of the lucky ones who does get heat sick. Mom gets wet cloths and puts them on me. Chase gets sick too. Not sure about Raven yet. It is only April....hope it starts to cool down soon.
A fish ruined my naptime.April 3rd 2008 9:57 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Yeah, a fish. I was sleeping in the bedroom, and mom came home with a red and purple Beta fish. I had to leave. Now, the fish has my bedroom. I am not a happy kitty right now at all. Maybe things will change after the fish gets settled. She named the dumb fish Razberry. Stupid fish, stupid name. Oooh. Lexi is in trouble.....chasing Raven again. They are probably still wound up over the Possum/Vet/Drive around for a while incident. But, hey I have my own concerns, like how do I get my bed back for naptime?
I am getting tired of the camera!March 27th 2008 6:32 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
I can tell Mom is bored when she chases (not literally) us around with the camera. Poor Raven, she gets the worst of it, then me. Just let us nap and all will be well. Go take pictures of Duke and Lexi-outside. We just want to sleep!!! Meow.

Napping is the best thing ever!!! Today, dad was in the bedroom playing with his laptop (trying to fix something....i have no idea) Anyway, I made it into the bedroom. Usually, dad makes me get out because of the computer, but today he let me stay and nap, nap, nap. He even let me stay and nap after he was done with the computer. (he works on computers in his spare time). I had to finally get up because Duke and Lexi were coming in. Lexi will not allow cats in "her room" if she is in the house. She can tell we've been there but we can't be in there with her. She owns everything. Sheesh, they sleep in late as it is. Duke would let me kick back, but Lexi will let you know at the doorway that you are not welcome.
ZZZZZZZZ!February 12th 2008 8:04 pm

I was a very sneaky cat. I got into the bedroom and slept on the bed all day...until mom found me. I did not get in trouble, but I had to get out before Dad found out. He is afraid I will mess with his laptop. Duh! who cares....all I need is a soft bed, a pillow and a blankie and this old boy is set!!! ZZZZZZ
Hmmmph!February 10th 2008 6:59 pm

I like to cat nap. My favorite place is in the bedroom. Now, I (or any of us) can't cat nap in the bedroom because daddy set up his stupid laptop computer in there. So what? I don't want to sleep on the computer, I want to sleep on the bed. Mom and dad, you better fix this situation or I will be ignoring you.
Am I getting old...or what?November 6th 2007 7:46 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
I turned 11 years old recently. I have been taking every opportunity to sneak into the bedroom and sleep in the bed, under the covers. I could hang out in there all day. Sometimes Buddy sneaks in and keeps me company. He has good days and not so good days. On a not so good day for him, we take long cat naps on the bed. Heidi, Emma and Chase are right behind be in age. They sleep all the time too, but they prefer to be in the living room. I like to be alone, or with Buddy or Olivia. Sasha runs all over the room and does not let us sleep. I hang out with Missy too, when she is not running all over the house chasing her daughters Eva, Olivia, and Sasha. It is so weird to me that Missy is not even a year older than her daughters. I just don't get it. Whiskers and Dylan have been fighting off a kitty cold, so I keep my distance. We are all house cats, so who know how they caught a cold. OK, who did I leave out?? Mom befrended a little stray cat that is smaller than Blackie. She is a girl. Mom named her Raven. What little Raven does not know is that mom is setting her up for a little surgery so there are not little Ravens. I have to admit this little cat is cute....I think mom is going to try and find her a home. We are full here. We are way over the limit.....oops. Raven is friendly to humans and cats and has already met Duke and Lexi. We will see how this goes.
Oh my gosh, it is hot here!!!September 3rd 2007 10:32 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
I am a senior citizen and this crazy heat wave is just making me sick. I am a house cat, and we have access to filtered water, but this house does not have a/c. We have 8 fans going in this house just for the kitties. Actually, we all kick back in the bathtub or behind the toilet. Whiskers kicks back in the hallway and the girls, Missy, Eva, Olivia and Sasha sleep under the couch. We have hardwood floors, so it is cool on the floor, but the air is horrible. I feel sorry for Duke and Lexi. They have an "auto water" system so they never run out of water, but we have biting flies here. Duke and Lexi have to wear gooey white stuff on their ears to protect them. Dad set up some fly traps and it has been helping, but Duke hides in his doghouse and Lexi sleeps under the jasmine and rose tree so the flies cant get to her. Summer is great and all, but this heatwave is just miserable. I am glad we have a mom and dad who care about our well being and safety. When it is this hot, Duke and Lexi are not allowed in the truck, even with the a/c. Mom and Dad stay home during the weekends when it is hot like it has been. They only leave us to go to work. I guess we are pretty lucky.

Jefra Bland was the last remaining contestant in the game from the original Beauty Tribe and for most of the game, she flew well under-the-radar. But last week, she ended up on Tony's bad side after he blindsided her close ally, LJ, and this season, that's the last place you want to find yourself. On Wednesday night's episode, Jefra became the fifth member of the "Survivor: Cagayan" jury when she found herself blindsided in a similar fashion. I spoke with Jefra today, one day after the episode aired.
Jefra began the game seemingly in a good spot on the Beauty Tribe and seemed to bond extremely well with fellow tribe mates LJ and Alexis. The tribe switch took Alexis away from her, but she managed to remain in the majority alliance on each of her tribes. When the tribes merged, she was distraught to find that Alexis had been voted out, but she forged ahead forming what would become the season's most influential - and volatile - alliance of six, along with LJ, Tony, Woo, Trish and Kass.
But her game took a near-fatal blow when LJ was blindsided by Tony. Of all of those who were kept in the dark, Jefra took the sly move the hardest, which only made her a target in Tony's eyes. She had a golden opportunity to rattle the game when she went on a reward with Jeremiah, Spencer and Tasha, and the four formed a real alliance. The four planned on weakening Tony's grasp on the game by voting out Woo, which would have been Jefra's first really big move that she could have pointed to.
Instead, just moments before the Tribal Council, Jefra had a change of heart. She decided to go back with her former alliance, including Tony, and they took out Jeremiah. Little did Jefra suspect, she would be the next to go.
Fearing the formation of an all-girl alliance, Tony and Woo decided to flip and vote out Jefra, the one person that Tony didn't trust, mainly because of her more verbal reaction to LJ's ousting. Jefra was sent packing, never really getting a chance to make that one big move.
Today I spoke with Jefra about her time in the game, her original Beauty alliance, her big non-decision and how she interpreted those words of inspiration given to her by her mom when she won a letter from home.
Jefra Bland: Hi Tom, how are you?
Tom Santilli, Survivor Examiner: Doing great, sorry to see you go! So let me dive right in to the big decision you faced. You had the opportunity to flip on your alliance and vote with Spencer, Tasha and Jeremiah and it looked like you were going to, but you ultimately decided to side with your original alliance. What was your main reasoning in deciding not to flip at that point?
Jefra: Survivor is a game that is all about numbers. And I didn't think that I had the numbers at that point to make the flip. When I came back from the Reward Challenge that day, I had to convince Kass or Trish to flip with me. Flipping by myself would have just led to four-four and someone pulling rocks to see who goes home. So when I went back to camp and I was trying to get them to flip, I guess while I was gone, Tony had filled them with smoke again and had convinced them that we all needed to stick together and no one was willing to flip with me. So I wasn't willing to flip and potentially draw rocks and send myself home when I could have stuck with the alliance and been guaranteed another three days. At the same time, to follow up your question, I had found a clue to a hidden Immunity Idol at that BBQ Reward Challenge.
Tom Santilli: Oh really?
Jefra: Yeah, Tasha and I had looked for it like crazy and even Spencer went with us to look for it. Not once did Spencer mention that he had an Idol. Had he informed me that he had the Idol and that he was willing to play it for me if that were to be the case, then I definitely would have gone ahead and flipped, had I known that they had an Idol that could have potentially saved me. I would have been a little bit more willing to flip, but they never mentioned that to me.
Tom Santilli: Also on that Reward Challenge, you received a letter from your mom back home. How did you interpret her words at that time and after you decided to flip back and vote out Jeremiah, how did you justify the words of advice she had given you?
Jefra: Receiving the letter from home was probably my greatest moment in the game. It was truly an incredible experience and I had no idea how emotional that would be. To be out there and get that was like a boost of confidence. In the moment I tried to use the letter as a very literal thing. My mom was saying don't be afraid to lie, don't be afraid to jump ship. I tried to take that as inspiration to make a big move. At the same time, I'm not going to want to make a big move if that big move could potentially send me home by drawing rocks.
Tom Santilli: At the point where you did vote out Jeremiah, who had you hoped to sit next to if you would have made it to the Final Three?
Jefra: I was really hoping to sit next to Kass. I had thought that she had ticked off enough jury members with her decision to flip and was definitely not going to get jury votes. It was a very bitter jury I would say at that point. So I didn't see any of them reconciling with her. Besides her, I was hoping to sit next to Trish or Woo.
Tom Santilli: So you were planning on getting Tony out at some point then obviously? He wasn't someone you saw as potentially having rubbed the jury the wrong way?
Jefra: Right.
Tom Santilli: Earlier in the game, when Tony blindsided LJ, he really went behind not only your back, but the backs of Kass and Trish. But you were a bit more vocal afterwards. Why do you feel that you skyrocketed as someone Tony couldn't trust when he didn't have those feelings for Kass or Trish, who both also must have felt slightly betrayed?
Jefra: It got to the point where I was just so tired of the blindsides. And him playing double agent and the spy shack. So I was like, look, you're either with us or you're not, so to speak. You're thinking I'm not loyal and I'm going to flip, how loyal are you when you have to spy on me every time I walk to the water well? So I was to the point where I started calling him out where a lot of other people didn't. Meaning Kass and Trish. They just sort of let it go and said, oh, we didn't know either. But I was like, yeah, so what are you going to do about that?
Tom Santilli: So looking back on it then, do you regret being vocal with Tony? Or going the other way, do you wish you would have tried harder to turn Trish and Kass against him?
Jefra: I don't regret standing up to Tony becauses literally, his paranoia was ruining everyone's game. It was driving everyone nuts. So I don't regret that it all when it comes to Tony. I truly believe that I gave it my all. I had spoke with Trish for a very long time at the well, little did I know that he was lurking in the bushes. And she was just not willing to turn on him. Same thing with Kass, we had a conversation on the beach for quite a while and she wasn't turning either.
Tom Santilli: So when Spencer cast his vote for you last night, he said, "Morale of the story: Actually play the game before you get played." What's your response to that comment and the sentiment that you weren't "playing the game"?
Jefra: I really just took it with a grain of salt. I knew he was mad at me because I didn't flip with him and that's what he considered playing the game. Because that was the best decision I could have made for his game. But that wasn't the best decision for my game, turning on my alliance and drawing rocks four-four.
Tom Santilli: How happy were you with how you were portrayed overall? Was there anything that you weren't happy about or wish they would have shown in regards to your storyline?
Jefra: I was disappointed when they didn't show me finding the clue and looking for the Idol. A lot of times around the Beauty beach I was going around strategizing with Alexis, looking for Idols and really trying to play the game. I didn't really get an edit that made me look like I was a potential big player, but all in all I am very pleased with what they chose to show.
Tom Santilli: Reading your backstory, I know that you are a Survivor in more ways than one (Jefra is a cervical cancer survivor). What can you tell me about your life outside of the game and the battles you've overcome?
Jefra: When I first was cast on Survivor, one of my family members found out and they were like, man, how do you do it? 39 days playing this game on an island is like a vacation compared to life for most people. The things that we survive in everyday life is so much harder than the things you go through on the island. There are people who face much worse challenges. And I didn't play the "cancer card" out there because it's just a part of my story, it's a part of who I am. I didn't want anyone's pity or sympathy from it. It is what it is and I've learned that you just have to survive and go on. Even when you think you're down, whether in Survivor or every day life, just keep going because life will always turn around.
