Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

Tina Fey does Sarah Palin to perfection!
Last evening 'Saturday Night Live' which opened with Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin next to Amy Poehler's excellent 'Hillary Clinton,' was as brilliant and hilarious as expected.
This got me curious about one of our top comedy writers and comediennes, Tina Fey, so if you look in the sidebar under 'Wedding Day Astrology: Tina Fey and Jeff Richmond' you'll find a Page concerning their 2001 wedding and partnership.
The Page includes a link to my notes on Tina Fey's natal chart as well which contains, as we might expect, indications of the professional writer!

Have We Arrived Yet? LGBT Rights and the Limits of Formal Equality
Katie R. Eyer
Rutgers Law School
April 3, 2010
Law and Sexuality, Vol. 19, p. 160, 2010
Formal equality has been a hard-fought achievement for many historically oppressed groups; one that has resulted in the effectuation of radical social and legal change, but that has also been the subject of profound disappointments. In this essay, I address the limitations of formal equality and the implications of those limitations for the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender (LGBT) community. I argue that – as we increasingly move towards a regime of formal legal protections for LGBT individuals – gender and sexuality law scholars will need to pay increasing attention to the unique challenges of a formal equality regime. I conclude by providing initial thoughts on how to avoid some of the difficulties that other protected groups have faced as they transition to formal equality. This essay is forthcoming as part of a collection of essays in Law & Sexuality about the future of gender and sexuality law scholarship.

They are mighty and majestic, but the North Cascade Range is so remote and rugged that the only way to see some of Washington's backcountry beauties is from the air.
Scurlock does just that.
"Straight out," yells Scurlock over the blast from the propeller of his bright yellow home-built airplane. He's taxiing down a tiny runway strip at Concrete Airport known as Mears Field.
It's practically a weekly ritual and religion for Scurlock.
Each time he soars over one of his favorite snow-capped mountains, he's on an adventure - especially when he sees something new. With camera in hand, he zooms in and often discovers a subtle difference - it's a new reveal now captured and ready to be studied.
"You can't help but look around from time to time and realize how fortunate you are," marvels Scurlock, a paramedic by day and pilot-photographer in his off-hours.
He admits it took a lot of practice to fly a plane and snap great photographs. He credits practice from making mistakes, and his sharp-shooting Canon 5D Mark 2. "I've made every mistake there is," said Scurlock. "I love to fly. I'd fly every single day if I could."
What began with this simple question, "Hey what's that down there?", has evolved into a new passion, glacier hunting. Climbers tag summits, Scurlock tags glaciers by photographing them from the air.
"I've tried to photograph every glacier in the lower 48 states," he says.
On a bluebird day, Scurlock heads for his favorite mountaintop, Mount Baker. He circles the Deming and Coleman Glaciers. As his yellow flying bird practically floats above Whatcom County, he banks sharply to one side.
"I'll just take a couple of shots with the Cascades in the background," he says.
He gets so close, footprints in the snow can be seen. His flights are for pleasure and for science.
For the first time in recent history, John's aerial photos give local geologists and glaciologists custom-ordered close-ups of our glaciers, volcanoes, craters, avalanche spills, steam vents and bare spots.
Deciding what glaciers to tag is a team effort that often begins in an office at Western Washington University.
WWU associate geology professor Doug Clark and Dave Tucker, director of the Mount Baker Volcano Research Center, are paying close attention to Baker - specifically its retreating glaciers. It's something they insist affects every one of us.
"The glaciers are one of the more visible indication of climate change," said Clark.
Clark and Tucker insist Scurlock gave them their first true peek at the rim of Mount Baker's summit crater.
"Satellite image would never give us that kind of resolution," said Tucker, adding that the mapping produced from Scurlock's photos helps determine the volcano's eruptive history.
"If you don't understand the past it's hard to predict the future," said Tucker.
Glaciers are natural reservoirs that supply summer drinking water, generate power, irrigate crops and keep salmon fisheries running. Tucker says he's worried about Mount Baker's shrinking Deming Glacier.
"As that glacier gets smaller and smaller we'll have less and less drinking water," said Tucker.
Clark say Scurlock's photos help him with his main task of trying to figure out how glaciers respond to temperature and precipitation changes. "They shrink when things get too warm and grow when it gets cold. And they haven't been growing."
Scurlock says cataloging the glaciers is his job. Figuring out what it all means, he leaves that to the scientists. "I don't want to get involved in the controversy, but it's clear to me that glaciers are getting smaller."
The beauty and inaccessibility of Washington's glaciers dared Scurlock to get closer.
"Every pilot wants his own plane," said Scurlock, who admits when he decided to build his own flying machine he knew it would be a long labor of love.
"I'm not a real completer of projects," he admits.
It took him nine years to build his two-seat, aluminum construction airplane from a kit. His Van's Aircraft RV 6 is stunning, complete with a beautiful hand-crafted wooden propeller.
Most of his mountain images are shot at flying speeds just above 100 mph and at an altitude between 7,000 to 10,000 feet.
Most people are surprised to learn Scurlock shoots every stellar photo hand held, right thru a tinted bubble canopy. You'd never know it looking at his images.
"It is a very challenging environment, but it's extremely rewarding when everything works out," he says.
His home-built plane is steady and stable enough to be flown hands-off for short periods of time.
His collection of photographs of the North Cascade Range are so good that they are now published and available for all to see. A picture book divides the North Cascade into three sections, starting in his hometown of Concrete and heading north to southern British Columbia.
Scurlock believes his aerial perspective of the North Cascades in the deep of winter may be the only chance most of us will ever get to see the farthest snowy white corners of a mountain range that many around the world call "North America's Alps."
Scurlock hopes his book, "Snow & Spire: Flights to Winter in the North Cascade Range," will make readers feel as though they are sitting in the cockpit right next to him.

Argentina on the verge of "unprecedented energy shortage", say former ministers
Argentina's Energy Institute, IAE, warned that the country faces an "unprecedented energy crisis" with strong drops in hydrocarbons reserves, production and the loss of self sufficiency.
IAE made up of former Energy ministers said in a release that the current energy situation in Argentina is no surprise: it was expected since there are "no long term policies for the industry, a total lack of planned strategy and an inadequate implementation of serious policies".
According to IAE since Nestor Kirchner took office in Argentina in 2003 and until 2010, oil reserves dropped 6% and natural gas 41%. In the same span of time oil production fell 18% and gas, 7%.
"We have become net importers of natural gas, fuel oil and gas oil with demand and tendencies increasing which presents an unprecedented and unsustainable fiscal effort plus an accumulation of social demands still unsatisfied".
IAE proposes an integral auditing of all exploitation concessions and hydrocarbons exploration licenses, debating a new Hydrocarbons bill and creating a new national oil corporation to manage the State's interests.
The document follows a recent attack from President Cristina Fernandez on oil companies, particularly YPF, Argentina's largest, for the alleged lack of investments to help a greater production of hydrocarbons.

Take care,
Yes, but how long can this madness last? 0% interest rates, and Fed pumping have pumped up markets, but we still have massive underlying problems, and no big correction yet. Correction has to come, and it can be bad. We will see how long this lasts. Market near all time highs, with debt @ all time highs. This does not compute. Has to fall.

I tore my ACL and a ton of my meniscus cartilage because a bad bjj partner wrenched my leg while we were practicing and I am pretty much off the mats for about 6 months or so.
I was only 4 or 5 months into training but I was into it big time, going 4 - 5 days a week with a buddy of mine.
By the time I get better he is going to be a bluebelt and I am still going to be a whitebelt without a single stripe. How can I ever manage to catch up? Is it possible? What can I do to help me get back in there and not completely suck ass and get dominated by my friend for the rest of our mat time in there?
I know it sounds petty, but the thought that I am always going to be behind him because of the stupid fucker that broke my leg is driving me insane.

I guess I"m just antsy because I don't like being second best at anything.

Wait, why the hell were they letting white belts use leg-locks? Unless there is a damn good reason, I'd look for a new school. White belts shouldn't be using leg-locks, and should be closely supervised when rolling.

Some should have been looking out for you with the knee bars. But that's water under the bridge. As far as staying focused and improving watch what Rener Gracie has to say about his devastating back injury - YouTube - Core Strengthening - Lower Back Injury Prevention with Rener Gracie
Also, my instructor has has torn ACLs and meniscus damage in both knees and he's back on the mat kicking ass.
Good luck.

Where you plant your rose will determine how healthy it will be into the future and how well it will produce beautiful blooms year in year out. Rose planting, like most plant species, requires a little fore thought and home work. It is advisable to discuss this subject with a staff member at your local nursery as he or she will have knowledge of the various rose varieties and the local area. Your Rose is a living being so give it a good home and you'll reap the rewards.
So what are the important points to consider? Sunlight gives life and choosing a place where your rose will get adequate sun is vital. Most rose species require about six hours of direct sunlight each day. Some species are shade tolerant but even they require four hours or more. So take your time and observe several areas of your garden that you feel may be suitable. Time how much sun those areas get and choose the one you feel works best.
Nutritious soil is another important factor in determining your rose planting location. Roses require a lot of nutrients so you need to do a few preliminary checks to see if your soil meets requirements. They do not do well in clay and equally struggle with very sandy soil. The ideal is a good mix of both clay and sand. It's really very easy to determine if your soil has the correct structure. Take a handful and squeeze it ! Is it like putty or does it crumble away? If the answer is neither, and it holds it's shape but will crumble with a little pressure, then your soil structure passes the test. But that's not all we have to check with our earth. What's it's pH? If your garden bed is too acidic or too alkaline your rose planting will not go well. As mentioned previously it's worth a discussion with your local nursery staff to find out which variety of roses do well in your region. Some will be better suited than others. However, your garden may have more limestone or more chalk than usual. Sometimes getting a soil test done can pay dividends in the long run.
Another important consideration is the relationship with other plants in your garden. You really need to find a generous space for your rose planting. Often the temptation is to surround your rose bush with other plants so the garden looks full. Please resist doing this as many other plants and shrubs can suck vital nutrients out of the soil robbing your rose of it's lifeblood. They also use up water so your rose is not getting the amount of hydration you may think it is. Dig around in the area you are thinking of planting. Are their lots of roots in the soil? If so resist using this spot. Once your rose has established itself and started to have beautiful blooms, that part of your garden will look complete and absolutely wonderful. You'll be pleased you took the time to carefully choose a good location.
Having chosen an ideal location for your rose planting by checking the soil composition and it's pH, and determining if other plants will encroach, it's time to plant your bush. You will need to dig a hole that is a few inches bigger in circumference than the pot your plant comes in. The required depth can vary a little depending on your local climate. Either talk with your nursery or seek out someone who has beautiful roses in their garden close to your home. Often you can get some amazing tips from neighbors and fellow rose growers. As a general rule of thumb colder climates require you to have a slightly deeper hole. In any case it is advisable to loosen the soil near the bottom of your hole and add either some compost or blood and bone fertilizer. This will encourage strong root growth by providing some phosphorus and other elements.
With your hole prepared it's time to place your rose. As with all potted plants it is important to gently free them from their pot and then with your fingers loosen the root system. Living in a pot can cause the plant to be 'root bound' which stunts growth. You may wonder why some of your pot plants aren't doing so well after a while. It could well be that their root system is stifled because the plant has out grown the pot – time for an upgrade!
With the root system freed up, place the plant in the hole and cover it three quarters of the way up with the soil you dug from the hole. Lightly water it in and then finish filling in the soil making a small mound. Make sure you press the soil down firmly but not so hard as to stop water absorption.
Your work is done for the day, congratulate yourself, even celebrate! You will be glad you took the time to follow these few simple checks and procedures when your rose is resplendent in beautiful blooms!
Happy rose gardening!

APPROXIMATELY one year ago the interest of my colleagues and me in the reaction to suture material was renewed and stimulated by a somewhat trying postoperative incident. The patient was a 47 year old white woman who was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of uterine fibroids. A total hysterectomy and a bilateral salpingooophorectomy were performed according to our usual technic. Cotton suture material was used throughout. The immediate postoperative course was uneventful except that on the eighth day two small blebs appeared in the incision. These were opened, and yellowish, clear serum escaped. During the following weeks, several other blebs developed, and each resulted in a small draining sinus. Concomitant with this, the tissue adjacent to the incision became indurated, without other evidence of inflammation. Soon cotton knots began to be extruded, but the condition did not subside. As months passed, the patient began to have difficulty flexing

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Years ago, while managing a unit at Merck & Co.'s New Technologies Review and Licensing Committee, it occurred to Christopher Welch, Ph.D., that SFC had not kept pace with HPLC, either technologically or in terms of features. A fully up-to-date SFC system was therefore added to the group's "wish list" for analytical instruments.
"We were already using analytical SFC," Welch explained. At that point, SFC had reached the proof-of-principle stage, and was becoming the go-to method for the analysis of chiral compounds. Thus its utility with chiral pharmaceutical intermediates and active ingredients. "But the current standard just wasn't up to snuff," Welch adds.
He observed the activity in HPLC to improve interfaces, streamline methods, and run separations faster and with higher sensitivity and robustness. "HPLC was getting better all the time, and we knew those same improvements could be applied to SFC, but nobody was interested in implementing them. It was time to remove the bandages," Welch says.
Partly through Welch's suggestions, Waters took on SFC technology through its 2009 acquisition of privately held Thar Instruments, which was then the world's most advanced manufacturer of SFC systems.
Merck eventually became a beta test site for the Waters instruments that later evolved into UPC2. "We got an early version of the system, ran it through its paces, and provided early feedback. Waters has a mechanism for reaching out to customers for input, which is smart," Welch says.
SFC's main claim to fame is its handling of stereoisomers, particularly enantiomers. Welch is something of an expert on chiral separations, having studied in the lab of Prof. William Pirkle at the University of Illinois. Pirkle invented the first commercial chiral stationary phases that interact differently with enantiomers (mirror-image isomers).
Chiral interactions with columns tend to be weak, which is why baseline chiral separations are difficult to achieve. "The early columns provided enantioselectivity, but their efficiency was poor, making the separations difficult to see," Welch explains. "With the needle-sharp peaks provided by modern columns and instrumentation it's possible to see even tiny differences."
Under SFC, this translates to baseline complete separations where one might have observed shoulders, and much faster operation. "In the old days you'd be lucky to develop a chiral method for half of your samples. Now, with SFC, you can do 95 percent," Welch says.
Metabolomic science involves the analysis of broadly diverse molecules, many unknown, with a concentration dynamic range as high as 1014. Both separation and identification pose tremendous challenges, says Prof. Vladimir Shulaev of the University of North Texas. "You can't put a name on every peak, on every ion. Even mass spectrometry is incapable of de-convoluting some mixtures."
Identifying compounds through mass peaks alone becomes difficult because masses lack uniqueness: Compounds form adducts, and many compounds break up within MS to identical fragment ions.
Because spectral libraries tend to be instrument- and platform-specific, even that avenue is not always fruitful, particularly for LC-MS. (GC-MS provides more predictable, reproducible fragmentation.) Positive identification is normally achieved by acquiring a reference standard for both chromatography and MS, but not all are commercially available, and isolating or synthesizing them takes time. Metabolomics researchers, Dr. Shulaev says, must often generate their own custom spectral libraries.
Dr. Shulaev's specialty within the field is lipidomics for which SFC is especially advantageous compared with LC or GC. One advantage of SFC over more conventional separations is lower sample preparation requirements.
"We take the lipid extract and shoot it through directly," Shulaev explains. SFC might provide similar benefits for other molecular classes, he adds.
One need only consider the structure of glycerin-conjugated lipids to understand the analytical tribulations of lipidomics researchers. Glycerin esterifies with three, two, or one fatty acids . Acids differ in ways that complicate analysis, for example in degree and location of unsaturation. Reconstructing even a simple triglyceride—including the position on the glycerin blackbone, carbon number, and location/orientation of double bonds—tests current analytical instrumentation.
Considering SFC's position within the GC-LC continuum, its potential to provide analytical orthogonality—a type of missing link in the analyst's tool chest— becomes palpable. For example, SFC handles both non-volatile compounds (typically LC's domain), and volatile species (GC's forte). Molecules requiring derivatization to pass through a GC column elute under SFC easily.
"SFC provides greater bandwidth to our arsenal of analytical methods," says Gerard Rosse, Ph.D., associate director at Dart Neuroscience. "It expands our ability to purify compounds and to simplify method development to enable purifications."
Having two orthogonal methods facilitates rapid method development, Rosse adds, particularly for separating complex mixtures.
"SFC represents the future, and I'm expecting it will gain broad adoption over the next two or three years." Theoretically, SFC is expected to be up to 10-times faster than HPLC, an improvement not yet reached but quite possible given recent developments in "instrumentalizing" the technology.
As we've seen before, in analytical laboratories speed is king. "That's why I believe SFC will be revolutionary, but to get there will require further instrumentation development," Rosse says.

As Marlon McGaughy prepares to take over the Liberty High School basketball program, he has a former Leopards coach in mind whose style he would like to replicate.
Considering that person is Bobby Patton, who coached Liberty during a 63-game regular-season winning streak and to a state finals appearance, McGaughy has his work cut out for him.
McGaughy was named the Leopards new coach at a board of education meeting on Tuesday, taking over for Dan Gorski. McGaughy guided Sharon John F. Kennedy to regional final appearances in each of the last three years, following Patton's tenure at Sharon JFK. McGaughy said he learned a lot from Patton when he was an assistant at Sharon JFK.
''He's been a mentor for me all my life, and I kind of want to follow in his footsteps,'' McGaughy said. ''(Patton) really likes the kids, and he's a motivator. He made you want to play basketball; he made you want to be a successful young man.''
Success is the main reason McGaughy was hired. Athletic director and football coach Jeff Whittaker said Liberty had several viable candidates who applied, but McGaughy's background and winning ways at Sharon JFK placed him at the top of the list.
''They all brought something different to the the table,'' Whittaker said of the candidates. ''But this individual is a proven winner, and that was definitely a plus. He's also an individual who expresses a true passion for the kids and coaching. He exemplifies coaching as a learning process and an extension of school. That in itself was an essential credential for the candidate we wanted to hire.''
Those attributes were ones McGaughy talked about extensively. He said he picked up many of the characteristics from Patton, and the others were attained during his three-year tenure coaching the Eagles.

Goof up in schedule leaves delegates high and dry
By ENS - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 09th December 2012 10:01 AM
Last Updated: 09th December 2012 10:01 AM
The film lovers who visited the New Theatre on Saturday morning were in for a shock as the IFFK organisers chose to screen Chalachithra Academy chairman Priyadarshan's Malayalam film Kalapani, released in 1996, instead of French film Rose.
Most of the delegates who came to know about the change in schedule managed to sneak in to other theatres nearby, after the start of the film. The goof-up created a commotion in front of the New Theatre, as many delegates started queuing up for the next screening - Elles, scheduled at 11.30 am. Rose, of 94-minute duration, also made many delegates who did not reserve tickets to reach New Theatre by as early as 10.30 am. Without knowing that the screening of the Kalapani was on, the serpentine queue of delegates extended up to the gate of New Theatre by 11 am. The theatre employees also refused to let the delegates in even after 11. 30 am which led to protest from the crowd. Only after heated arguments the doors were opened by 12 noon and those who entered the theatre saw Mohanlal on screen in front of an empty theatre.
Elles started only after 12.30 pm after the screening of Kalapani. For nearly half-an-hour the festival crowd had to watch the Malayalam film. All delegates who eagerly arrived at Sree Theatre to see Rituparno Ghosh's Chitrangada at 11 am were greeted with the movie from the competition section, Sta.Nina directed by Manny Paloj. After the director was given a warm welcome before the audience, the screening began and the scenes from Chitrangada appeared instead. As usual, the delegates raised protests and uncertainties continued for half-an-hour until Sta.Nina was shown. Chitrangada was screened instead of Sta.Nina at 3.30 pm in Sree.

This column was originally published on Monday, July 16, 2007
After perusing the new Seven Wonders of the World list released on 7/7/07 in Lisbon, Portugal, I thought to myself, what the heck's so wonderful about this?
Sure, the Taj Majal, the Great Wall and all are pretty cool, but the creators of this list of world highlights had the entire globe from which to choose.
We, at the Kalamazoo Gazette have narrowed it down a bit.
After much consideration, research and an idle Friday afternoon, we have formulated (drum roll, please) "The Seven Wonders of Southwest Michigan." Those are highlighted below, and ringing the page are other wondrous things in the region.
You might think some of the seven we chose are truly wonderful, others may leave you wondering. Regardless, we think you'll come away with one conclusion:
Southwest Michigan is a land of wonders.
1. Lake Michigan / South Haven beaches:
We can't lay sole claim to the whole Great Lake, but the South Haven shore undoubtedly is all ours. Less than hour from downtown Kalamazoo, the North and South beaches, the pier, the lighthouses and even the touristy town are simply wonderful. Mammoth Lake Michigan stretches to the western horizon to form a panoramic meeting of water and sky. It's as if one beautiful day, God scratched his finger in the sand and called for rain.
2. Kalamazoo Promise:
All you have to do is graduate from a Kalamazoo Public Schools high school and your college tuition is free? KPS Superintendent Janice Brown must have felt like Wonder Woman when she made this announcement late in 2005. The Promise offers many Kalamazoo kids a chance they might not have had to further their education and improve their lives. I wonder who the generous benefactors are.
3. State Theatre:
A fixture in downtown Kalamazoo since 1927, the State Theatre is a great place to take in a concert amid some of the most awe-inspiring interior decor you'll ever see. The combination of tradition, meticulous renovations and an interior laden with color, texture and ornate fixtures is what makes the State great. It was closed in 1982, but a "Save the State" committee formed and the community celebrated when the Hinman Co. re-opened it in 1985. Wonder when Stevie Wonder's gonna play there.
4. Sunset Auto Theater:
A double-feature at 12 bucks a carload? What year is this, 1956? Not quite, but it sure feels like it when you drive to Hartford to take in a couple movies at the old-fashioned drive-in. The concession-stand ads are vintage, but the flicks are first-run. No more of those speakers that hang from the windows, either. Simply tune your radio to 93.1 FM and relax. Bring blankets, pillows, recline in your seat and enjoy the show. Come early because the place is packed on Friday and Saturday nights. No wonder.
5. a) Kal-Haven Trail; b) Portage Creek Bicenntial Park Bikeway:
Looking for two ways to enhance your bicycling pleasure? Wonder no more. These two majestic trails offer cycling in contrast. Whether you want to weave throughout the city of Portage, or take a straight path down an old railhead in Van Buren County, this is biking at its best. The city of Kalamazoo once promised to build its own trail to connect these two great paths. I wonder when.
6. Gene the Pumpkin Man:
The guy with the orange Cadillacs on M-43 in Van Buren County celebrates his 25th year in the business of pumping out pumpkins. Gene's actual last name is Rhodes, but to most of us, his surname is "the Pumpkin Man." His land up on the hill has become an autumn landmark. There's so much orange up there, it's as if the acreage glows. It's enough to leave you wonderstruck.
7. Plainwell Ice Cream:
When it comes to frozen treats, there's no reason to wonder which is the cream of the crop. Plainwell Ice Cream was founded by Art and Judy Gaylord in 1978 and has become a pleasure to countless palates in Plainwell and beyond. The small brick building in downtown Plainwell churns out 55 yummy flavors. The top five sellers are Butter Pecan, Cougar Tracks, Cookie Dough, Amaretto Chocolate Cherry and French Silk. In other words, these flavors are Plainwell's wonderworks.

The Chicago Dental Society congratulates Dr. Steven Geiermann, who received the Golden Toothbrush Award from Erie Family Health Center last week. Dr. Geiermann was honored for his life-long commitment to making oral health care accessible. Among other efforts, he guided Erie Family Health Center when it opened its first oral health center, and he remains active with its Oral Health Advisory Council.
Erie Family Health Center maintains three oral heath centers in Cook County, serving 9,000 patients. A fourth center will open this summer in Lake County.
"For those who know me, they know I often quote my sainted grandmother," Dr. Geiermann told the crowd assembled for the Erie Family Health Center's Annual Luncheon at the Four Seasons May 29. "She always said, 'If you don't ask, you don't get.' We know that only one in five people at Erie Family receive oral health care; they've asked, and we're still working to get care to them. It's for that reason that I complement Erie Family on its effort at prevention, such as when they counsel pregnant moms about how to take care of their babies' teeth."
Dr. Geiermann is a retired Captain in the U.S. Public Health Service whose resume also includes posts with the American Dental Association's Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations, Chicago's Public Health Department and Indian Health Service.
"My grandmother also said that accepting a gift honors the giver. I want to thank Erie Family Health Center for this honor," Dr. Geiermann said.
access to care
A tradition of working for the dental profession. The Chicago Dental Society was organized in 1864 and incorporated in 1878. The objective of the Chicago Dental Society is to encourage the improvement of the health of the public, to promote the art and science of dentistry and to represent the intrest of the members of the profession and the public that it serves.

We might as well go out now and change the city-limits signs: "Welcome to Charleston — unless you're a smoker."
In the past few years, Charleston has banned smoking in restaurants, snuffed out cigarettes in bars and unceremoniously shut down the city's lone cigar bar.
And Tuesday night, City Council outlawed lighting up on public sidewalks, streets and inside parked cars in an entire section of downtown.
Mayor Joe Riley, who supported the move to ban smoking for several blocks around Roper Hospital and MUSC, said this was a unique move, not a sign of things to come.
But try to find a smoker who believes that.
What's going to happen when the next group of businesses whines that smoke from the sidewalk is offending their customers?
The city has set a precedent — a bad one — and it's going to be awful hard to just say no.
Butt out
Roper and MUSC asked for the smoke-free zone because employees and patients are subjected to a "wall of smoke" every time they try to go to the hospital.
Well, they created the problem when they banned smoking on their campuses and pushed smokers to the sidewalks.
Now, to be fair, smoking is unhealthy and you can hardly expect medical facilities to condone it. But let's be reasonable, like City Councilman Aubry Alexander.
Alexander proposed a no-smoking zone for 100 feet around any entrance to the hospitals. But common sense failed on a tie vote. Bad move.
As Mayor Pro Tem Dean Riegel says, council basically kicked the butt down the road. Now these folks are just going to stand on the sidewalks a block outside the no-smoking zone, which will prompt another group to ask that it be expanded.
Don't think so? Council members were expanding the hospital no-smoking zone south of Calhoun Street before they even passed it.
It's bad enough that the city has given authority to hospital security forces to write city tickets. But the bigger issue is this: When did the rights of one group start to outweigh another's?
"There are two rights at play — the right to smoke, that is, the right to be stupid, and the right to protect people's health," Riegel says.
He's absolutely right.
Funny, this is working out exactly opposite of the assault-weapon debate, where your right not to get shot at the movie theater isn't as important as some other guy's right to own a machine gun.
Forget your rights
The city is on dangerous ground here.
Because the tea party and other anti-government groups didn't come out to protest, this no-smoking zone passed easily. So make no mistake, there will be other people asking for similar treatment. The forces of political correctness aren't going to stop with 10 square blocks.
Then what does council do? Well, it either is going to show itself to be hypocritical or get out its pitchforks again and run smokers even farther out of town.
"Smokers have no rights in this city," Alexander says.
And that's just wrong.

LOS ANGELES - The business of predicting the end of the world is a lot like baseball: Three strikes and you're out.
At least that's according to the Christian Post, which reports that controversial Christian leader Harold Camping has retired after three failed doomsday predictions.
The self-styled biblical scholar based in Oakland, Calif., has thrice predicted the world's end. First, in 1994. Then, on May 21 of this year. And again on Oct. 21. It is estimated by Camping's own staff that more than $100 million had been spent trying to wake up the world to his biblical predictions.
But, clearly, the world did not end. And Camping and his followers - including many who reportedly sold all their belongings and turned their savings accounts over to the church - have faced international ridicule and scorn.

First published in Cleantech magazine, Volume 6 Issue 6. Copyright Cleantech Investor Ltd
Having closed a £1.25 million fundraising at the end of 2012, Cambridge (UK) based BACTEST has announced its first product. Speedy Breedy (www.speedybreedy.com), based on the company's proprietary technology platform CYTOMAIA, is a microbial respirometer that aims to 'automate' tests for contamination, in water and water-based applications.
Low hanging fruit for Speedy Breedy are applications where samples need to be sent to a laboratory for analysis and where the delay in waiting for results is expensive and also inconvenient for the customer.
Speedy Breedy is faster than its competitors in a head-to-head race - hence its name! Tests can be started by non-experts at the time and place where the sample is taken, providing the double benefit of not having to wait for samples to be sent to a lab and then returned, which can sometimes add days of delay. Where labs don't operate 24/7 the benefits are even greater. Speedy Breedy is able to grow a detectable colony of e-coli from just one cell in 10.5 hours. The more contaminated the sample, the faster the time to detection.
Visualised Growth and Detection of Contamination
BACTEST is actively pursuing UK water companies looking to speed up time to detection of contamination in clean water. Applications include slow sand filtration sites, sampling post engineering work on mains water to ensure contamination has not been introduced into the system, and testing the final flushing water of new equipment before its commissioning.
In these applications faster turnaround of contamination tests also means contractors can better plan for crew availability as and when they are needed.
"It's hard to estimate how much time and carbon emissions Speedy Breedy will ultimately save our water companies," said BACTEST CEO, Prof. Annie Brooking. "Driving samples to and from labs also adds to our carbon emissions, and it's not too good for samples either that can degrade due to delays waiting for tests to begin. We have priced Speedy Breedy for volume sales. At £2,500, this is a modest price to pay for major benefits to the water industry."
As Speedy Breedy is very easy to use and can be run on 12 volts it can be used in a car or van, enabling engineers to commence tests in the field. BACTEST is currently working on a portable lab kit that can be used from the back of a van.
All this innovation has been welcomed by UK water companies. According to one leading executive from Severn Trent: "It's not whether we should use Speedy Breedy, it's where we should use it first". This is welcome feedback for BACTEST, which will begin to ship Speedy Breedy in January 2013.
Protocols for Speedy Breedy are built on a Windows-based PC and downloaded on to an SD card in Speedy Breedy. When connected to a PC, tests can be visualised in near real time and results stored, and graphs overlaid for analysis. In the same way test results from Speedy Breedy are uploaded to a PC to provide an audit trail.
BACTEST aims to raise another £250,000 in Q1 2013 which will be used to further its development of Shepherd, an in-situ, real time monitoring system for activated sludge that is also based on CYTOMAIA. Shepherd will measure the food/biomass ratio in activated sludge, an application that also aims to cut carbon emissions by providing decision support data enabling more efficient aeration in activated sludge systems. Sister products to Speedy Breedy aimed at managing trade water effluent are also in development at BACTEST and will be announced in 2013.
BACTEST is actively seeking distributors for Speedy Breedy globally. In the meantime, Speedy Breedy can be purchased from the web shop at www.speedybreedy.com.

Yesterday a girlfriend invited me to go with her to visit the Rising Sun Inn which is located nine miles north of Annapolis on Generals Highway. This historic building was built in 1753 and was given to the Anne Arundel Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution (DAR) in 1916 by the then owner R. Thomas Williams with the understanding that it would be 'maintained as an historical spot and structure or museum'.
In 1980 the Anne Arundel Committee of the Maryland Historical Trust awarded DAR the Marjorie Murray Bridgeman Award for historical preservation in recognition of the Chapter's work in restoring and preserving the Rising Sun Inn. In 1985 the Rising Sun Inn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Over the years the Inn has been used as a private residence and as a tavern where the small tap room remains intact. Inside the family of Jonas Green bequeathed a doll house replica of the Jonas Green House which is on display. Outside in the gardens you can find boxwoods which are believed to have been planted back in the Revolutionary period.
November 13, 2011, the day we visited, was the 100th anniverasary of the Anne Arundel Chapter of The Daughters of the Revolution. Tea and desserts were served and the Annapolis Town Crier was present to open the ceremonies.
The Rising Sun Inn is open for tours on the 2nd Sunday of each month from 1-4pm. Their address is 1090 General's Highway in Crownsville. You may also rent the building for small private parties

It's unfortunate that you're not seeing any benefits and are getting even more frustrated, but I think you might benefit from reading Paleobird's calorie counting thread that she posted today http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread29501.html
From reading her post, I know that I'm plateau'd because I've been taking in too many of my calories from fat and not enough from protein.
It can be really confusing when you've got athletes, men, women, recovering anorexics, former vegans, etc. etc. all giving advice from different points of view ... and I think we're all giving you advice because we don't want you to quit, we know that PB will help you, you just have to figure out the right ratios.
I think you're probably still taking in too many calories for your current activity level (congrats on starting exercise BTW!) but if you up your protein percentage, I think you'll feel a lot fuller. Also, are you drinking enough? Thirst can masquerade as hunger. If you don't like to drink a lot of water, have a broth soup with your meal.

Hello all,
I'm writing a little application for my Malay Netbook and Revo. The
plan is to release it publicly when it's ready, and so I'm wondering
what I should do about icons on the toolbar.
The Psion EIKON style guide says an icon says a thousand words, ie,
the brain reads and understands icons quicker than text. But I
actually find the Psion button icons generally ugly, hard to
understand, and, well, geeky. It's not that I could do better, I'm
really not a graphic artist at all. I just don't like them.
The only Psion icons I like are the Revo silkscreen ones. They look
nice and are sufficiently different to make them quick to "read". The
netbook silkscreen icons are more square and thus more similar. The
Revo doesn't even have icons on the button bar at all.
So my question is, should I just skip the icons? If I try hard, I may
be able to make one or two nice icons on the 256-colour netbook, but
if I manage to create good icons for all my buttons on both colour and
grayscale, I'll be very surprised.
What do you think -- will my application look unprofessional or
unfinished if it doesn't have icons?
Erik Sandblom

Offering "Professional Friendly Service," Pettit Oil, September's Marketer of the Month, has been serving the lubricants needs of western Washington for more than 80 years. "Pettit Oil provides remarkable customer service with its tremendous 'can do' attitude," says MSR Dennis "Duck" Hammons. "In fact, its mascot, Pettit Pete, boasts the company's motto, "Your Friendly Fuel People."
Jack Pettit established Pettit Oil with a specific mission in mind - to provide second-to-none customer service within a family atmosphere. Today, current owners Norm and Linda Sather continue to embrace this founding principle. "Our products are not unique; people can get lubricants and fuels from other suppliers and competitors," states Chris Williams, Senior Vice President of Operations, who has worked at Pettit Oil for 21 years. "What's unique is the way we provide our service, constantly working at exceeding customers' expectations. Over the years, the common thread has always been the relationships we build with our customers."
Pettit Oil operates out of its new corporate office in Lakewood, Wash., with additional distribution facilities in Hoquiam, Port Angeles, Port Townsend and Forks, Wash. The company serves multiple industries but focuses heavily on the industrial and automotive lubricant segments with an emphasis on marine, logging, construction, saw mill, paper machine and passenger car applications. "I started working at Pettit Oil in 1991. Since then, we have grown our lubricants supply from 300,000 to about a million gallons a year," said Williams. "Even though we have expanded significantly, our values haven't changed. We respect our customers and aim to exceed their expectations every day."
Williams credits the company's lubricants success to its incredible team of trained lubricant industry specialists and General Managers, Dan Curto and Roy Coady, and their relationship with Phillips 66 Lubricants. "We are huge supporters of Phillips 66 Lubricants," he shares. "Everyone there is always willing to help us out, no matter the circumstance, and consistently provides friendly service, making it easy for us to work together."
Pettit Oil has worked with Phillips 66 Lubricants for more than 20 years and has found great success with Kendall Motor Oil and 76-branded lubricants. "When we talk to customers about their needs and problems, these brands and products sell themselves," Williams attests. "Easy sells are far and few between, but 76 products certainly help; customers trust the Phillips 66 Lubricants name."
In addition to providing quality petroleum products and related services, Pettit Oil pledges its time and resources to local endeavors and charities, adopting one primary cause - the annual Pettit Fall Classic Golf Tournament, which benefits the Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare organization. After this year's donation, the company has donated close to $500,000 to improve mental health.
Congratulations to Pettit Oil and its wonderful accomplishments! We look forward to your future endeavors.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced the arrest of Michael Adam Gilman, 37, of Moncks Corner, on one count involving the sexual exploitation of a minor.
The Berkeley County Sheriffs Office, a member of the S.C. Attorney Generals Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, made the arrest, according to a press release from the attorney generals office.
On Nov. 30 undercover detectives with the Berkeley County Sheriffs Office downloaded a file containing child pornography from an Internet Protocol address for a cable account ultimately traced to Gilmans residence.
Officers executed a search warrant there on February 25, 2014, and seized three computers and electronic storage media.
Gilman surrendered to authorities on March 4 and admitted to downloading child pornography. He was arrested and charged with one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, third degree.
This felony offense is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment. He was assigned a PR bond of $40,000.
Gilman has been ordered to have no contact with children under age 17 (except for his own child), have no access to the Internet or electronic devices capable of accessing it, and must remain at least two blocks from areas where children congregate, such as daycare facilities, playgrounds, schools, libraries and public parks.
The case will be prosecuted by the Attorney Generals Office. Wilson stressed all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty in a court of law.

A brief discussion of the dynamics and importance of mentoring, with some emphasis on succession planning by library managers. Concludes with a bibliography citing several works on mentoring and providing short assessments.
Bollard, Susan D. "Mentoring in the 21st Century." Knowledge Quest 41, no. 4 (March/April 2013): 4-5.
The author, president of the American Association of School Librarians, offers insights on mentoring in the 21st century. Discusses the traditional top-down model of experienced librarians mentoring new teachers, but also lateral and bottom-up mentoring, with new librarians sharing teaching skills about inquiry learning, integrating technology with the curriculum, the use of digital resources, and dealing with inquiry in the digital age. Also addresses the needs of a single librarian in an organization and how one might obtain mentoring via conferences, workshops, seminars, blogs, wikis, webinars, and other social and collaboration tools. (Abstract)
This article presents three perspectives of FLIP: Future Library and Information Science People, a discussion group developed by the University of Alaska at Anchorage in 2005 to benefit both currently employed librarians and students entering the information field. According to a newly graduated student who is currently employed in the library, FLIP allowed her to meet library and information science students. A recently hired librarian mentions how the program gave her confidence to increase her involvement in the library profession. An experienced librarian states how FLIP keep her updated with current issues in librarianship. The program is particularly valuable in a region where there is no library school, and a few diverse libraries.
Describes a mentoring program for all of Utah's library workers and offers best practices for running a library program. The online edition of the journal includes a supplemental form: application to receive mentoring.
Following a discussion of the history of mentoring and various approaches to the topic, the author focuses on personal and collective narrative as form of mentoring that has not been studied, and the use of narrative in group settings. A case study examines a writing and research support group for untenured library employees at Bowling Green State University. A well-referenced and persuasive article, with recommendations for improvements to mentoring programs for new academic librarians seeking to build their tenure portfolios, but which could apply to other settings as well.
Compares and contrasts informal and formal mentoring programs, then focuses on current programs in Canadian academic libraries, as well as specific characteristics of and attitudes toward mentoring. The implications of this research may apply more broadly. Provides a literature review, and includes topics such as new librarians, retention of staff, leadership, professional development, limitations of mentoring, and the need for administrative support.
Discusses a formal mentoring program at Z. Smith Reynolds Library, Wake Forest University, that began in 2009. The program incorporates several mentoring styles: one-on-one; pairs for specific topics, collaborative peer-mentoring, forums, and panel presentations focusing on acquiring professional development skills for the promotion and tenure process. Provides recommendations for launching collaborative mentoring programs. Many of these activities were accomplished without a specific budget, by making use of staff expertise across the library.
This SPEC Kit concentrates on orientation, training and mentoring programs internal to the organization, and also offers a useful bibliography with references to readings on organizational culture and socialization.
Lee, Marta K. Mentoring in the Library: Building for the Future. Chicago: ALA, 2010. 122 p.
A thorough discussion of mentoring programs and relationships, including those between librarian and student as well as between library staff, stressing the importance of mentoring relationships throughout one's career. Chapters cover internships, library school assignments, potential librarians, volunteers, electronic mentoring, resume review services, "Developing the New Librarian in the Workplace," and "Mentoring for Promotion." Includes case studies, mentoring experiences of high quality, lessons learned, and how to get started as a mentor. Exhibits a bias towards academic libraries, but includes some information about programs in public and special libraries. Appendices include sample forms and descriptions of activities. Concludes with an extensive bibliography and index.
Lorenzetti, Diane L., and Susan E. Powelson. "A Scoping Review of Mentoring Programs for Academic Librarians." Journal of Academic Librarianship 41, no. 2 (March 2015): 186-196.
The authors conducted a review of existing literature about 40 unique academic library mentoring programs. The article examines current trends in program design, participation, mentor/mentee selection, goals and objectives, program guidelines and agreements, timelines, training and support, incentives, evaluation methods and results, and outcome and process evaluations.
A lengthy bibliography of books, articles, and web resources on mentoring. Publication dates range from 2001-2012. Last updated June 2012.
A short, practical guide to mentoring that helps readers to begin relationship with reasonable planning and effort. Includes the perspectives of both mentor and mentee and the benefits to librarians and the profession. Twelve concise chapters each contain at least one exercise and short activities that focus on self-discovery or self-awareness. Best for launching and nurturing the relationship. Appendix includes a "Leadership Focuser" form that helps participants reflect on goals, outcomes and exercises.
A special topic in the career development section of the EDUCAUSE website, with the following definition: "Mentoring is just-in-time help, insight into issues, and the sharing of expertise, values, skills, and perspectives. Mentors function as a catalyst—an agent that provokes a reaction that might not otherwise have taken place or speeds up a reaction that might have taken place in the future." Sections include Welcome, About Mentoring, For the Mentor, For the Mentee. The "About" covers mentoring style, types of mentoring functions, phases of relationships, resources and community. Also presents a podcast on "Mentoring as a Professional Development Tool."
A study to determine the likelihood that a recent graduate entering his or her first professional position or a transitioning librarian would have access to formal mentoring programs. The authors surveyed academic libraries, library residency programs, library associations, and LIS graduate programs. The study suggests that, while formal mentoring is valuable, more emphasis needs to be focused on creating formal mentoring programs to make them more widely available. Notes that "Part of the problem is in the ambiguity of the term. Mentoring is sometimes confused with job orientations such as providing new employees with basic directional information, but guidance should support the mentee's career (p. 12)." Includes a literature review and discussions of the downsides of mentoring programs (as well as benefits) and types of mentoring programs. Concludes with a good list of references.
Ross, Kevin M. "Purposeful Mentoring in Academic Libraries." Journal of Library Administration 53, no. 7/8 (November 2013): 412-428.
The author provides an overview of the history of mentoring and explains the mentoring process in academic libraries, providing examples acquired through interviews, questionnaires, and surveys. He thoroughly discusses the benefits of mentoring for mentors, mentees, and academic libraries, with a focus on mentoring minorities, Generation X, and Millennials. The article concludes with a consideration of the challenges faced when creating and implementing mentoring programs, as well as a reminder that these programs must be evaluated periodically in order to remain effective.
A collection of 29 papers by 34 contributors that provides a thorough explanation of mentoring. Grouped according to four broad headings: Philosophical Questions & Practical Applications, Mentoring [non-LIS] Students, Mentoring Students in Library School, and Mentoring Librarians. Essays include "Steps Involved in Being a Mentor," "The Art of Mentoring across Disciplines," "Creating a Structured Program to Help Staff Earn their MLIS," "Mentoring at a Distance," and "Mentoring a New Distance Education Librarian." A valuable, practical resource; makes the case for more formal provision of mentoring, but also exposes different attitudes towards the subject, with devotees of both highly-structured programs and more organic, individualized relationships. Most concur on basic principles such as setting a time limit, deciding to meet periodically, agreeing on a few goals. Good for both students and practitioners.

Fast thinking flies to help build better robots
As anyone who has ever tried to swat a fly will know, the little beasties have almost impossibly-fast reflexes. It turns out, in fact, that they have a response time faster than that of any computer. If only we knew what their secret was, perhaps we could develop robots that could react just as quickly. Well, scientists at Germany's Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology are working on it. Since 1956, a mathematical model has existed that accurately predicts how a fly's brain will recognize and process visual movements. What hasn't been understood is how the individual nerve cells interact to make that recognition and processing possible. Given that a fly's tiny brain contains over 100,000 nerve cells per cubic millimeter, it would seem impossible to observe the reactions of any one of those cells. That, however, is just what the German scientists have done.
Usually, activity in nerve cells is measured by attaching electrodes to the brain. Advances in nanotechnology notwithstanding, it simply would not be technically possible to do that with a fly... not yet, anyway. Instead, the scientists introduced the indicator molecule TN-XXL into individual nerve cells of fruit flies. Changes in the luminance of the molecules indicated activity in the nerve cells.
The flies were presented with moving stripe patterns on an LED screen, while the select nerve cells were observed with a laser microscope. The scientists began by observing the flies' L2-cells, which receive information from the photoreceptors of the eyes. While the photoreceptors reacted to increases or decreases in light intensity, it was found that the L2's only reacted to decreases. They passed this information on to associated nerve cells, which calculated the direction of the stripes, then in turn passed that information on to the flies' flight control center.
"This means that the information 'light on' is filtered out by the L2-cells," explained Max Planck researcher Dierk Reiff. "It also means, however, that another kind of cell must pass on the 'light on' command, since the fly reacts to both kinds of signals."
Although the research is still in its early stages, the findings promise to have significant implications in developing robotic motion detection systems. The team plan to continue unraveling the mystery, on a cell-by-cell basis.

You are a great writer and the 'Song of the Day' is as pleasurable a read as it is elucidating. Thank you
I don't know who the other posters here are because they are far from transparent. I'm a teacher, 3rd grade. I am spending every spare minute and dollar I have to support Kristel Foster and Cam Juarez because they support my students. My kids don't have internet at home, but my school now has 5 Computers On Wheels, filled with laptops that allow them the same access that we all take for granted. They also have rich libraries of multicultural books that arrived two summers ago. They read these books and see themselves, wherever they're from. I support this board and its "3-person board majority" that the previous poster opposes. Please remember, I am a teacher. Please.
Hey, where's "Homosapien" by Pete Shelley?
David, you're a progressive, right? So together with "TKF IS FUNDED BY RICH BUSINESS INTERESTS!!!" You might want to mention "FOSTER AND JUAREZ TOOK DONATIONS FROM AN EXECUTIVE AT THE FOR-PROFIT COMPANY TO WHICH THEY VOTED TO OUTSOURCE SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS!!!"
And, while you're at it, you might mention that these so-called progressive politicians, Foster and Juarez, formed part of the 3-person board majority in TUSD while the Superintendent whose every decision they love to rubber stamp picked fights with the deseg authority, massively increased the legal fees in fighting the deseg order, gave over $3 million in deseg funds back to taxpayers in a sadly underfunded district, agreed with AZ legislators that it would be reasonable to phase down deseg funds after Unitary Status is achieved, reduced magnet school budgets while trying to convince constituents that the deseg authority was at fault for the cuts (a lie), gave a $10K personal donation to UHS, gave band uniforms to UHS before other sites in the district, got a massively increased compensation package for himself passed by his loyal 3 stooges, awarded $10K bonuses to central administrators...the list goes ON and ON and ON, and it is ugly.
But you keep looking the other way. You look at who is funding TKF, you look at charter schools, you look at the AZ State legislature. Admit it: it's too depressing to look at the CRAP that passes for progressivism in TUSD, isn't it?
David, are you being paid by the Teacher's Unions? Are you a consultant to TUSD? Just curious.
Well, David, some of us whose kids have been on the receiving end of the extremely poor decisions made CONSTANTLY during the past three years by the 3-2 board TKF complains of don't think "Change the Board!" signs all over town are a bad thing.
The thing many of us DON'T like is Stegeman's name appearing together with Rustand's and Putnam-Hidalgo's. Rustand and Putnam-Hidalgo have no intention of running in a slate with any of the other candidates in the same way that Foster and Juarez are running in a slate. Rustand and Putnam-Hidalgo should both be considered independently and on their own merits, which are considerable.
Stegeman's reputation is poor because of his past actions in the MAS debacle. If he had the best interests of the district at heart he would recognize that he has been, and continues to be, a disastrously divisive presence on the Board, and he would step aside. But that's not his style, and unfortunately some people in the business community like him and are tarnishing an effort that might otherwise have been constructive by including his name on a roster with other, more worthy candidates.
"Any student with parental support can get a great education in any public school."
Wow. You really believe that? In ANY public school?
You are misinformed.
Try this:
And this:
Any student with parental support can get a great education in the Normandy district in Missouri? In Newark? Then why are so many concerned, deeply invested parents moving their children out of these districts, and out of the school sites on the west side of TUSD, where the classrooms are staffed with a rotating cast of outsourced subs, not permanent teachers?
I'm tired of hearing that TUSD is an anomaly. It is NOT an anomaly. What happens in TUSD is typical of what happens in any number of poor urban districts. The Democratic party wants to look the other way because some of their machine politicians are still benefiting from awarding contracts in some of these settings. It's an ugly, sad fact about certain groups within a party that is supposed to be a champion of the poor and working class, but in some settings ends up exploiting and underserving the very populations they purport to want to help.
Public district supporters in Arizona love to talk about the inequity of the charter system. What about the inequity of TUSD vs. Catalina Foothills or Tanque Verde? Or the inequity of UHS vs. some of TUSD's other high schools? Wake up and smell the coffee. This is what happens in the real world: THE PUBLIC DISTRICT SYSTEM DOES NOT CREATE EQUITY any better than the charter system does. And IT IS NOT TRUE THAT THE ONLY PROBLEMS WITH DISPARATE ACHIEVEMENT HAVE TO DO WITH THE SES OF THE PARENTS. A good part of the reason that test scores are higher in Districts 16 and 13 than in District 1 is that those schools have constituencies that are entitled enough to be vigilant and hold the people running these districts to a high standard. Administrators in those districts would be fired, governing board member would be recalled if they tried to pull any of the BS you see constantly in TUSD. So who defends the rights of poor families in districts like TUSD that can't hold administrators' feet to the fire, when necessary? The Democratic party? What a laugh. Look at all the Democratic party grandees lining up behind Foster and Juarez, who were just caught accepting $5K campaign contributions from an executive at the company that manages the substitute teachers whose labor they voted to outsource.
But keep running down charter schools and inhabiting a fantasy land in which "any student with parental support can get a great (!) education in ANY public school. ANYone who is not drinking the Koolaid you imbibe knows it's not true.
Hey, I think John McCain may be on to something there with that automation comment.
How about replacing all the federal representatives with robots that are programed to actually vote in accordance with the wishes of the people they represent. The robots will not "require" two residences, one in their home state and one in Washington D.C.; they won't get a full pension and medical benefits for the rest of their life for serving less time than it takes for a U.S. armed forces member to retire with full benefits; and they can't be bought by special interests and dark money.
Of course, we'll have to work out that "shall we play a game" issue and program them to leave Sarah Conner alone, but it's a start.
People should never judge other school districts against TUSD. TUSD is an anomoly, and quite a negative example to be sure. After all the blah, blah, blah, where are all these fabulous charters that have erased the achievement gap, supposedly the reason for their existence? Any student with parental support can get a great education in any public school.
And the 3rd Annual POP! Event at the YWCA. Not to be missed!
But is she thinking that $40 per week increase would pull them out of poverty? My bet is that she has not thought this through. I taught my kids to take the $8 job and work your way up. It's better than no job. Minimum wage used to be for starters.
I signed up to volunteer for this several years ago. Never got a call back. Apparently, they're not THAT interested in volunteers.

No, you're where the hose goes when Pima County needs an enema.
Charters exist and flourish because of public schools like TUSD. Try a little self exam. Trump will quadruple charter school numbers nationwide. get used to it.
Rag on Marana all you want, at least we're not a gutless sanctuary city for criminals like Tucson is.

Old Soldiers Never Die
Unemployment is becoming to Alexander Haig. At the American Bar Association convention in San Francisco, the former Secretary of State kept his audience clapping and chuckling for 35 minutes, beginning with a thank-you to the emcee for his nice introduction, "the kind I so richly deserve and find so difficult to receive these days." Haig admitted he's going through some "decompression" now that he's no longer "fourth in line in succession" to the President. "I have to struggle to get precedence in the checkout line at the supermarket." Yes, Haig is able to laugh about the flap over the time he was "in charge" at the White House. "I don't know what all the fuss was about," he says with a shrug. "So I made a little mistake. Golly, that's how I became a four-star general."
And That's the Way It Is
"What we do here today is being watched by every island from Nantucket to the Falklands," auctioneer Art Buchwald intoned to begin the fourth annual "Possible Dreams Auction" for charity on Martha's Vineyard. Lots of locals—with the exception of the most famous, Jackie O—offered to sell themselves for a good cause. The highest bid—$1,250—was for a tour of the 60 Minutes studios, conducted by Mike Wallace, with a chance to meet Harry Reasoner thrown in for good measure. Also on the block were lunch with pundit James Reston (which brought $800), cocktails with reclusive islander Lillian Hellman ($700), a sailboat picnic with Beverly Sills ($600) and. a fishing trip with author John Hersey ($300). But even on the Vineyard, times are tough. Last year a chance to sail on Walter Cronkite's yacht brought the top bid of $1,300. This year it went for a mere $1,200.
San ford and Son's Demond Wilson, who will be back in prime time this fall playing Oscar to Ron Glass' Felix in The New Odd Couple, recently turned down an offer to appear in a commercial for an amusement park with his children, aged 1 to 8. Demond says he doesn't want them to have to work—even though he started acting at age 4. "There are various ways people get out of the inner city," he explains. "The way for me was show business. But my children don't need a way out of Bel Air. Could be they need directions, though."
Cut-Rate Connoisseur
Pat Paulsen, comedian and onetime presidential hopeful, has joined a growing list of celebs who've become vintners, from Dick Smothers to Wayne Rogers. Off his Sonoma Valley, Calif. grapevines come good wines—cabernets, chardonnays, you know, the kind with corks. "Since I've been producing fine wine," he confides, "I've learned how to drink it: You don't hold it at the top or at the bottom but in the middle so the paper bag doesn't fall off."
When it absoutely, positively has to be there on time, Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. sends messages by air, of course. Yes, one of the country's largest aerospace corporations sends messages by carrier pigeon. Research chemist Werner Deeg explains that it's easier and cheaper to strap microfilm onto a pigeon's leg and let it fly from the company's Sunnyvale, Calif. headquarters to a test base 30 miles away (as the pigeon flies) than it is to send the material by regular mail. "Pigeons just need a little love, care, feed and water," says Deeg. And you don't even have to use a zip code.
As he starts a new season of Dynasty, John Forsythe says he's keeping his eye on the scales because "I can't afford, with my limited talents, to bulge. Being a 64-year-old sex symbol is a hell of a weight to carry."

While the pool is still a bit rough on the exterior (normal for a dumpster), the interior is lined with aqua tiles and outfitted with a swimming pool ladder for an easy access. This mini pool can easily be brought anywhere to make it an instant pool party, a kind of portable pool! Cool project!

I really love your beach scene
This is great! Good job!
You have a great eye for composition - and creating movement - the flag waving in the wind and the white surf - the big sky - can't think of any constructive criticism - great contrast between the earth tone sand and use of color in the umbrellas - there is a repetition here that is very soothing to the eye - a scene I could study for a long time
Love this!
