Children grow up answering the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" over and over.
Theresa always wanted to be a lawyer, and it was at the child development center that she learned to dream about her future. When she was younger, one of her favorite activities at the center was pretending to argue with other children in a debate.
"During our time to debate, I was really very happy. I enjoy being able to express my opinions and being given the chance to fight for them."
Today, Theresa is 17 years old and in college. Although her childhood dream was to be a lawyer, she is taking a course in computer animation.
Theresa took the course because it was offered to her on scholarship at the AMG Skilled Hands Technical College in the faraway province of Bulacan. At first, she didn't like the idea of moving away from home to live in a dormitory.
"I didn't want to go to Bulacan, but when I learned that it was for a scholarship, I took the chance. I told myself I'd take this course just so I could finish college, but it was in that school where I discovered God's real plan for me."
Theresa was a student at the Malabon Child Development Center. Currently, her father is out of work and her mother works in a factory earning less than P100 (US$2.40) a day. Theresa has two sisters. At the center, Theresa actively participated in youth group and has been a member of the praise and worship team.
In the Philippines, it is not typical for children to leave for college. Usually, Filipino children live with their parents throughout college and even after college until they can afford to live on their own.
"Separating from my family and my ministry at church was my first challenge in moving to Bulacan. But the Lord is teaching me now to depend on Him alone. Now, I enjoy being away from my family so that I could totally depend on God."
Theresa is one of the 28 sponsored youth who are studying at the AMG Skilled Hands Technical College through our ministry's Complementary Intervention's Non-Formal Education funds.
Ten more students are studying in the same college as scholars of AMG. They come from 13 child development centers located on the island of Luzon, where Bulacan is also located.
AMG stands for "Ang Manggagawang Gumagawa," which is Filipino for "the worker who works." It is a private school that operates based on Christian and biblical principles.
According to Alexander, a school supervisor,
"AMG instills in our students the fear of the Lord, because this school believes that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
According to Anne, another sponsored youth studying at AMG and one of Theresa's newest friends,
"I experienced in this school the Lord working in my life. He showed me once again that He is truly alive.
"God's provision in my life is truly amazing and I really don't feel that I deserve it. It is really a blessing that I passed the Computer Hardware Services course, and now I have a certificate that I can use to find work later on."
AMG offers job placement. All of its students are guaranteed to find work after college. These 38 students are taking two-year courses in Computer Programming, Computer Animation and Electronics.
Four other students have already finished a one-year course in welding and now they are all employed and earning an income.
Tricia is studying Computer Animation, just like Theresa. She also misses her family back in the province of Albay. She misses them because she knows that there are days when her family doesn't have food on the table.
Tricia's father is out of work and her mother tries to earn a little money by cooking and selling local rice snacks. Tricia has nine siblings and she shares with us,
"There was no way for my parents to send me to college. Often we can't even buy food to eat. This is why I am very thankful for being able to study here, get a college education, and eat three meals a day while I'm in school."
Anne speaks for the other 38 students when she says that her main goal is to finish college, land a good job, and be able to help her family.
"I also want to help children in our student center in whatever simple ways that I can. I would like to share all that I learned here in Bulacan, not only in the technical skills but also in the spiritual aspects of life."
Today, Theresa has dreams of attending Bible school.
"If God wills, I would like to study in Bible school. But for now, I will continue to pray and seek God's direction in my life. As I continue to study here I can see that God is changing me little by little, and I can see how good our God is."
On behalf of the students studying at that technical college through Complementary Intervention funds, Theresa wants sponsors to know,
"We are so grateful for all the people who have allowed us to study here. Otherwise, our parents could not send us to college.
"We are very thankful to have been chosen to enter a good college for free. We are truly growing spiritually and skillfully. I think we are growing in all aspects of life here. We are so thankful."

The story of this game?
You could say Jake Peavy, who had seven innings of work, allowing two runs and striking out twelve.
You could say Justin Upton, who hit two home runs to take over the Diamondbacks' entire scoring of the night.
You could say John Garland, who held the Padres to three hits over seven innings.
But the real story of this game is the Padres' hitting, or rather the lack of it. The real story is lost chances.
How's seven runners left on base, 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position? How did Arizona make four errors in the first few innings and we didn't get a run? How did we ground into four double plays? How's five hits, all singles?
It's pathetic. We couldn't score a run until the bottom of the ninth, and we got it on a double play!
Why can't we score runs for our ace? Every time Jake goes out there, Padres fans know that he will pitch well enough to win. But we forget that his offense doesn't score so much as a run for him.
"Another tough loss," Peavy said. "I hate getting beat."
It's utterly ridiculous. We can't score runs for this guy. His record is 2-4. He's pitched well enough to have five wins by now. I wouldn't blame him if he wanted to get traded sometime in the near future!
"…I have to be more aggressive. The bottom line is, I need to pitch better," said Peavy. Are you kidding me?? He threw seven innings of two-run ball!!! He struck out TWELVE batters!! He was outstanding!! How can he be any better?? By throwing a complete game every time out there with 27 strikeouts??
He knows that he has to be perfect out there every time. He's doing that!! This team should be able to score more than two runs for their ace!!!
More aggressive? He is so aggressive already!! He was dealing out there!! I'd say that twelve strikeouts is really aggressive!!!
I feel so bad for Jake right now. He's deserve so much more than this.
So, we lost 3-1. I think it was because I gave them the candy back.
I'm not going to take anything away from them today, since it's a day game and the restriction would be in place for only a few hours anyway. But watch out boys, you might find yourself on the school bus to Houston tonight!!
Today is the first 2-for-1 Getaway Day of the year. I really hope we have a big crowd out there. Our boys need it.
Chris Young, second ace, is pitching against Dan Haren. It's going to be a great matchup. The Padres better come out on top.
"We're the same team … it's in there," Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff said. "It's just a matter of keeping the intensity and keep pushing hard."
Good job, Kouz-o🙂 Now go hit a few home runs today!!

Not hitting with runners on base and leaving them there is enough to drive any fan nuts!Russhttp://wight4256.mlblogs.com
I think your word – "patheticness" – describes the situation perfectly. And we can all relate. Leaving runners on base is sooo frustrating.
The strikeout thing make me nuts all year with Ryan Howard, so I know how ya feel. But ultimatley, he gets so many HR's and RBI's, what can I say? Just frustrating to watch your guys struggle though!
They are not listening to us! Ugh. Jake was absoultely amazing last night by striking out 12! I felt really bad for him cause there was no run supprt whatsoever. We better win this afternoon or else I'm going to write a complaint letter to them.
when I got home last night and for the first time in many days I turn on the tv, they were showing the game of the back to back to back to back game. i forgot that Peavy pitched that game. So many players in that game that are no longer with the Dodgers or Padres.
Hi Kaybee, I'm feeling your pain. I got so frustrated with my Mets when they left 14 guys on base a couple of weeks back. Keep the faith though, they are winning half the battle by getting men on. It won't be long before they're driving in runners by the bucketload. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
The Red Sox have been pretty good at leaving players on base all this season. Maybe we need a support group for them! lol!
Kaybee- I'm feelin your pain. Lately we've had some great support from the bull pen… as for runs… it's not doing a lot. Despite leading the National League in home runs, it sure doesn't seem to be doing a lot for them.

Whoever they get will need these qualites:
- Be able to handle the diva attitudes that the media has made of Melo/Amare/JR
- Can hold players accountable no matter what thier star status may be
- Coach defense
- Run set plays out of timeouts, final shot possessions and low shot clock situations
- Be able to handle the exuctives (james Dolan) and the mess of the front office
Plain and simple no. We need a coach that's proven and that has coached stars. So he would be able to deal with all that comes with the territory. Honestly ride it out with Woodson and look real hard in the off season.
Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
Why woould anyone hire a coach that just GOT FIRED?!?!?!
Do you think anyone is chasing after D'antoni?!?!?!?
Knicks fans are absolutly retar..............
you finish my thought.
I think Woodson should finish this season as a Knick coach. Lets see how this team performes in the playoffs. Based on the results in the post season, we should talk about his future. He knows it, players know it, everybody knows it, even Dolan knows it(not sure about this one).
So far this team responded in a big way, especially on the defensive end which is huge for a championship contender and as we all know offence is not a problem with a deep and talanted team like this.
Having said that, if Phil Jackson was available right now, i would take him right now with no hesitation.
lets lure phil to NY..as he says "NY is special"
Come on people, be real.
Tibs will get resigned and Mike D will be signed with the Raptors since they had interest in him when he was on the hot seat a while ago.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
I wonder if the thread starter knows anything about McMillan's coaching style.
I wish him well, but honestly, i think that his career as an NBA coach is over. Forget Bulls, no nba team would hire him as a head coach, maybe as an offensive coordinater, but i doubt it.
At the very least, a team like Cleveland, NJ, NOH etc these rebuilding teams with talent could use him to boost players value. His coaching style does lend itself well to rebuilding teams.
As for Nate McMillan I can't imagine why we would want him seriously, after the situation we've just seen in NY it just makes no sense.

Area resident Deanna Stephens recounts her terrifying experience taking cover — and surviving — as a catastrophic tornado tore through Moore, Oklahoma, leaving behind a path of unspeakable devastation. World Vision is on the ground in Oklahoma, providing assistance to families hit hardest by the disaster.
After Deanna's father emerged from the cellar where they had sought shelter as the tornado came through, he returned and reported the devastating news: Everything was gone.
Deanna didn't believe him at first; she had to go look for herself. At that moment, the scope of the destruction became painfully clear.
"Knowing that where you grew up and that everything you ever had is just in shambles, is just…" Deanna's voice trails off.
"I keep thinking that this is all just a nightmare, and then I'll wake up, and it's all gonna be back to normal," she adds.
World Vision has deployed an assessment team and an initial round of relief supplies to the tornado-devastated areas of Moore, Oklahoma, where we'll meet with community members to determine greatest needs and provide assistance to those hit hardest by the storm.
Keep up to date with the latest on World Vision's emergency response in Oklahoma, and read more about how we respond to disasters right here in the United States.
Watch additional World Vision videos from the tornado zone in Oklahoma.
Please join us in praying for the families devastated by this terrible tornado. Many have lost everything and require urgent support. Pray, too, for the first responders and aid organizations working to bring emergency care to those left suffering.
Make a one-time donation to World Vision's U.S. Disaster Response Fund. Your contribution will support our response to the tornado in Oklahoma, as well as other emergencies that threaten lives right here in the United States.

April 4, 2012 —
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has completed a $12.5 million project to modernize a wastewater treatment plant located on the Neversink River at Port Jervis. Modernization work will help protect the water quality of both the Neversink River and the Delaware River immediately downstream.
NYC constructed and operates the Port Jervis plant in accordance with terms of the Delaware River Supreme Court Decree. In return for upstream withdrawals from the Delaware River tributaries the city built the plant in the 1950s to provide water quality protection for the Neversink River at Port Jervis, where it joins the Delaware River.
After more than 60 years of continuous operation, several major components of the Port Jervis Wastewater Treatment Plant were in need of replacement, including outdated and aging sewage treatment tanks and sludge drying beds. Visit www.nyc.gov/dep [2].

First WeekMonday, June 6th, 2011
During the last week, I have been settling in at the WLP. As part of my training, I've had to do quite a bit of reading. The WLP has very thick training manuals covering family law, no-fault divorces (in its own separate binder), employment law, welfare services, and much more. I've also read nearly every resource available to the public on the WLP's website.
The materials are all really interesting and I'm learning about topics in which I have no previous background knowledge. What is even more educational is listening in on the calls the trained counselors make. As part of every Telephone Counselor's training, she has to listen in (with the caller's permission) to an experienced counselor giving information to a caller. Each caller has his or her own story and set of questions that the counselor tries to address. Counselors follow-up with callers later to see how their situations are progressing. Some people seem to have hopeful resolutions to their problems, others do not. (All of the calls to the WLP are confidential, so I can't write any specific details about the service on this blog. If you're interested to know what information the WLP does provide to its callers, you can read about the service on the WLP's website.
As well as being trained for telephone counseling, I have also begun work on the WLP's Outreach program. Currently, I am working with some of the other interns to identify neighborhoods that might benefit from WLP going out into the community and distributing information about the services it provides and talking to people individually. I'm crunching through spreadsheet upon spreadsheet of data to try and identify key neighborhoods. I haven't come up with much yet, but I have started to memorize Philadelphia's different zip codes!

New Year Skiing - 2017
Get active after a indulgent Christmas with New Year skiing holidays, departing a day or two after Christmas and returning before the children go back to school. Skiing at New Year is extremely popular and the best resorts and properties sell out very quickly so we advise that you book as early as you can to secure your ideal holiday; especially if you want a catered chalet over New Year.
Skiing on New Years' Day morning is the perfect way to welcome in the New Year (and to aid recovery from the night before). Choose from one of the hundreds of New Year ski deals below.
New Year's Eve is on a Saturday in 2016. Selected New Year ski holidays have changed their usual departure dates to accommodate this. A large choice of New Year ski holidays are starting on Friday 30th December with an 8 or 9 night stay. There are also selected chalet holiday options starting on Monday 26th December for 7 nights, Tuesday 27th December for 7 nights and Saturday 31st December for 7 nights.
We also offer holidays on other peak dates, including Christmas skiing, Half-Term skiing and Easter skiing.

As usual the reigning "Queenie" (County Judge Barbara Shaw) answers to no one, because she has Commissioners Court, I call them (court jesters) always on her side to do her bidding.
She never answered J.P. 2 Korzekwa or County Auditor Lajuana Kasprzyk about the added expense of the transfer of the phones or the computer hook ups.
As usual the court jesters fell right in and voted 5-0 in the Queenie's favor.
The truth is that the Queenie and the court jesters ran the platform that they were somehow going to stop the court house renovation and the new courthouse annex - Hello! Knock, knock, those two projects were a done deal, but people against the projects voted in the Queenie and her royal court, so when the County Offices on the Square were finished, no way the reigning Queenie (county judge) was moving into the new annex.
Now she says she didn't want to remove the county ag extension people because "it was not a battle she wanted to get into at that time."
Ma'am, the only significant thing you have done up to now is the dismissal of a bunch of DWIs and Bobby Busselman had been doing that for decades, he didn't need your help.
The extra expense of contaminated soil at the new jail site, the proposal to buy another contaminated landfill for the road and bridge administrator and now lately the expense of a lobbyist in Austin to do your job and the Commissioners Court (your royal jesters). Man, you are batting a thousand. What gets me is where is the outcry from the Yarters, Clyde Eckols, the Stimsons, all the opposition against the courthouse restoration and the building of the annex?
Remember that old song of the 50s "Whatever Lola wants Lola gets." –it should be re-named to "Whatever Queenie wants, Queenie gets," as long as the court jesters follow right behind!

A rash of car and garage break-ins last week has people in one Onalaska neighborhood asking for the public's help.
Residents of the quiet neighborhood off 21st Avenue in Onalaska said safety was always something they could count on.
"It's just nerve-racking to us," said resident Cassie Carrell. "You wouldn't think that would happen."
Carrell said that all changed last Friday morning when she found both of her cars trashed.
"I noticed it right after the police came around asking if our cars were ransacked," said Carrell.
For her and many residents in the neighborhood, leaving their cars parked outside and unlocked was normal. Carrell even left her wallet inside the glove compartment last Friday.
"I was out and about the night before and it was just laying on my front seat, and nothing was taken out of it thank goodness," said Carrell.
Two houses down from hers, Adam Daniels wasn't so lucky.
"They did a good job because the money I had in there, was hiding deep in the bottom of it," said Daniels.
He stashed $150 in his center console that is now gone. He was saving it for his upcoming wedding anniversary.
These are just two of about of seven houses that had money or valuable electronics stolen from their cars or garages.
"That's what hit home for us, is that we knew that if they're willing to go into the garages, what else are they willing to go into," said Daniels.
Surveillance video from one of the houses that was robbed shows a group of four going into their garage and coming out a few minutes later with a couple of cases of beer.
The homeowners soon posted the videos to Facebook.
"These in general are somewhat difficult in general to solve unless you do develop suspects like with the video it makes it easier," said Onalaska Police Chief Jeff Trotnic.
Trotnic said using social media as a tool in these cases isn't a bad idea.
"It'd really depend on what the motivation is behind the post, how they're going about doing it," said Trotnic. "For the most part, I think it can do nothing but help."
"We're hoping that the videos remind people, 'Hey, we live in a great town, (but that) doesn't mean bad things can't happen," said Daniels.
These residents said if it does happen again, they are ready for it.
"We've got video cameras," said Daniels. "So they'll get caught sooner or later."
Residents said they've started a Facebook thread to keep in contact and update each other.
They said they're also thinking about starting a neighborhood watch group to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Police are still looking for help to solve this case. People with any information are urged to call the Onalaska Police Department at 608-392-0228.

Concealed carry permits surge
PARKERSBURG – Growing concerns over gun control laws and the right to bear arms have Wood County residents flocking to sign up for concealed carry permits, officials said.
Several years ago, the Wood County Sheriff's Office issued 128 permits in one month, making that the highest number ever recorded here, until this month. Chief Deputy Shawn Graham said the office, as of Thursday, had received 150 applications for gun permits since the first of the year.
Graham said it costs $110 to apply for a five-year gun permit in Wood County. The application fee is refundable if denied, he said. Graham said a course has to be completed before a person can apply for the permit.
"Once they've applied for it, (the sheriff) has to run a background check," he said. "From the time someone applies the sheriff has 45 days."
Graham said the results are usually quick and someone applying for a gun permit can usually receive one within a few days.
The sheriff has the ultimate say on who can receive the concealed carry license, Graham said.
"So we've already seen a tremendous increase," Graham said. "We're only half way through the month and it seems like people are flocking just to get the pistol permits."
People are growing anxious and concerned over their gun rights, Graham said.
"I can't see any other reason why the numbers have gone up that much," Graham said. "People are doing everything to ensure their right to bear arms."
To become a licensed concealed carry owner in the state, applicants must meet the following criteria:
* Be a resident of the state and county in which the application is filed.
* Be at least 21 years of age or at least 18 years of age and employed in a job requiring the applicant to carry concealed handguns.
* Not be addicted to or an unlawful user of alcohol, controlled substances or other drugs.
* Not have been convicted of a felony.
* Not have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of violence involving the use of a deadly weapon.
* Not have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
* Not be currently subject to either a temporary or final domestic violence protective order.
* Not be on probation or any other form of judicial supervision for any misdemeanor.
* Not be under indictment for any felony.
* Not have been declared mentally incompetent by any court.
* Be physically and mentally competent to carry a concealed handgun.
* Have successfully completed one of several specified forms of training in handling and firing a handgun.
Anyone wishing to have the concealed carry license must go through some form of training, according to gun laws. Training can include any official National Rifle Association handgun safety or training course. The courses are available to the general public and offered by state and county agencies.

Sgt. Greg Collins with the Parkersburg Police Department said officers could see a change in the way guns are handled within the department.
"We have 65 officers that are qualified on firearms three times a year," he said. "We have to buy ammunition for pistols, rifles and shotguns."
Collins said with the shortage in ammunition police officers could begin conservative usage measures and additional ordering for practicing with and using the firearms. He said the firearms instructors anticipated a potential gun control situation several years ago and planned accordingly.
"Ammunition isn't something police departments can do without," he said. "I would say some departments are in panic mode right now if they didn't have the foresight we did."
Any new gun control laws will affect the department as far as enforcement, Collins said. The department has a firearm shooting range for Parkersburg police officers to use.
"We have always tried to be responsible when conducting firearms training," Collins said. "The mere cost of ammunition has always kept us in check, and with the looming ammunition shortage, we will likely have to tighten up that much more."
However, police officers have to practice their shooting, he said.
The city police department uses a Simunition weapon for training. Collins said the weapon projects simulated bullets that are painful when struck by. He said they leave a paint-like mark on their target.
"It's not a solution to the shortage problem, but it does give us another option for the extra training we try to get in," Collins said of the Paintball-like weapon. "The downside is this round costs more than any of the real ammunition (city officers) buy."

The Perfect Gift for 2013: Do you have property that you have owned for more than one year that is now worth more than you paid for it? If you sell that property, you will owe capital gains tax on the appreciation. And with the 2013 capital gains tax rate at the highest it has been since 1997, charitable gifts of appreciated property make sense now more than ever before.
Discover Why Now Is the Prime Time to Donate Appreciated Property
Are You Subject to the High Capital Gains Tax Rate?The top income tax rate in 2013 is 39.6 percent for individual filers with incomes above $400,000 and for married couples filing jointly with incomes above $450,000. If you fall into this category, your rates for long-term capital gains and qualified dividends have been raised from 15 percent to 20 percent this year.
In addition, a 3.8 percent Medicare tax has been put into place on investment-type income and gains in 2013 for those who file individually with adjusted gross incomes exceeding $200,000 and married couples who file jointly with adjusted gross incomes exceeding $250,000. That means you could owe as much as 23.8 percent on any gain when selling long-term appreciated property. In those states that also have a state tax, the combined capital gains tax rate will be even greater.
Example: Why a Donation Makes SenseIf you fall into the top income tax bracket, because of the high capital gains tax rate, you more than anyone may want to consider the tax benefits of donating appreciated property to us instead of cash this year. Look over the chart below to see the net cost of a gift of cash vs. stock.
Gift of Cash vs. Stock: Which Costs You Less?
Giving $100,000 Cash
|Value of your gift
|Tax savings from use of charitable deduction (39.6 percent rate)
|Tax savings from elimination of capital gains tax (20 percent rate)
|Your net cost
|Giving $100,000 in Appreciated Stock*
|Value of your gift
|Tax savings from use of charitable deduction (39.6 percent rate)
|Tax savings from elimination of capital gains tax (20 percent rate) and Medicare tax (3.8 percent)
|Your net cost
|*Originally purchased for $60,000, resulting in a gain of $40,000

Our public schoolsFebruary 21,2014
Private education has historically been the domain of people with a special motivation, a special need or an ample bank account. Lately, conservatives have adopted the notion that the failings of the public schools mean that families ought to be able to divert public money away from the public schools to allow them to send their kids to private schools. Defenders of public schools have argued that doing so would sap resources away from public schools, making their jobs even more difficult.
This was the shape of a debate that took place in Montpelier earlier this week between stalwart defenders of public education and advocates of school choice. It is a reminder that public education is not a given. It requires the support of a willing public that recognizes the importance of public education, not just to individual children but to the health of American society as a whole.
It is important to remember what America is. It is a place that civilized itself. As pioneer families hacked away the wilderness and established settlements, they moved from the home-schooling of children in isolated cabins to the small schoolhouses erected by pioneer communities and scattered across the countryside. People in Vermonts many towns, whose resources did not match ours today, made it a priority to build schools, libraries, colleges.
The nations cities, teeming with immigrants, established public school systems that became entry points for people from all over the world, learning English, learning baseball, learning their letters and numbers.
Alongside the public schools, private schools have always existed in parallel. Catholic schools promised education shaped by faith and provided a haven for immigrant groups that were not always welcome in the larger society. Irish, Italian or Polish families saved their pennies to pay for Catholic education, because it mattered to them and because the standards of excellence were high.
Private schools served other constituencies. Wealthy families enjoyed the ability to send their children to exclusive private schools. On the East Coast, in particular, private schooling enjoyed a status it did not enjoy elsewhere, partly because of the quality of education, partly because it was an emblem of privilege.
In the past, children with disabilities were sent off to private schools, hidden away in a system that, it was later concluded, treated them as second-class citizens. It was a special burden for families, but one they could not escape.
Alongside these private choices, the public school system has evolved over the years, absorbing the changes in the larger society, taking on new responsibilities, suffering the doubts of the public and absorbing the effect of a taxpayers rebellion.
Part of the problem is that public schools in many places not Vermont suffer enormous financial inequities, which make it hard for them to provide high-quality education. Then, when they fail, they receive the blame. Of course, posh private schools are going to do better.
Schools reflect who we are. If parents fail to respect the need for discipline and hard work, the schools will suffer. If communities fail to respect the importance of education and the valuable role of teachers, schools will suffer. What communities need to do to ensure that their schools do the job is to do what families did throughout the nations history: dedicate themselves to the success of their public schools and provide the resources they need.
A scattering of private schools within the larger society will always have an important place. To view them as a solution for the broader public is delusional. It is also fanciful to believe that the fear of losing students to private schools will somehow equip public-school administrators with new wisdom for how to run their schools.
Vermonts schools are performing well, according to test results, in part because we no longer starve schools in poor towns of the funds they need to provide a decent education. The challenges schools face are the challenges America faces: a struggle with increasing poverty and changing attitudes toward educational accomplishment, reading, learning and discipline. Dedication to those values must come from all of us.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Research & Publications
Dr. Kim's research lab is focused on tumor immunology and the development of novel immunotherapeutic strategies for cancer patients. Within the tumor microenvironment, we are studying the cross-talk between the tumor cells and the tumor infiltrating lymphocytic and myeloid cells.
At the molecular level, we found that STAT3 signaling in both lymphocytic and myeloid cells can induce immunosuppressive microenvironment, and we are actively studying the downstream mediators of this important phenotype. We have also developed novel cancer vaccines that are ideally suited to be combined with immune checkpoint blockade antibodies to reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

/ Planting the seeds of a better future

By Spencer Miller
Greg Schlenz travels to an agriculture site on a donkey.
Because of Greg's work, wheat yield doubled from previous years.
Greg Schlenz, a resource conservationist with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, helped Panjshir province in Afghanistan double its wheat harvest and escape subsistence farming.
Stationed at Forward Operating Base Lion in the Hindu Kush region from March 2008 to October 2009, Schlenz said he recognized he had a unique opportunity to make a large impact. Panjshir is relatively secure, having successfully resisted multiple invasion attempts by Soviet and later Taliban forces. Schlenz said he took advantage of this relative safety and security to pursue many ambitious agricultural projects.
Though it repelled nine Soviet invasion attempts, air strikes and shelling reduced much of the province to impoverished subsistence farming, he said.
"Off the main road it's like going back to Biblical times," Schlenz said. "People were plowing with oxen and spreading seed with their hands."
Of particular concern, farmers lacked access to current stocks of wheat seed – many were using stocks more than 30 years old, which means they were less resilient evolving crop disease and pests. As a result, yields were very low, around 25 bushels per acre. Schlenz distributed updated stocks to local farmers, and within one year, yields doubled to 50 bushels per acre.
Schlenz said he met a village elder who told him that his family now would have a surplus of wheat to sell, rather than rationing and bartering for food.
"It hit me in the gut big time," he said. "This man hugged me, his eyes full of tears, and thanked me for feeding his family. This was my biggest accomplishment."
Doubling wheat yields may have been Schlenz's biggest accomplishment, but it was just one of many. He also reintroduced chickens to the region, making them freely available to graduates of training on how to care for chickens. Chickens and eggs are now a sustainable source of protein and income for many families.
Schlenz oversaw the construction of reservoirs to capture snowmelt flowing from the Hindu Kush mountains. Though the area hasn't suffered drought in living memory, they now have water available throughout the year. He also showed them new methods of irrigation. Rather than washing away nutrients and fertilizer by flooding their fields, he introduced target irrigation, which improves water efficiency and quality.
To publicly display recommended techniques, Schlenz set up a demonstration farm. There are two fields, side by side. One field uses local techniques to grow crops. The other uses the irrigation, nutrient and crop management techniques Schlenz recommends. The contrast is clear and persuasive.
During his initial assessment of the region, Schlenz noticed he didn't hear any bees. Pollinators had left the region. To address this problem, he worked with the provincial agricultural director to distribute 1,400-plus bee boxes throughout the region. He said the locals were thrilled to have pollinators and honey restored to them.
By laying the foundation for so many long-term projects, Schlenz said he helped give the people in Panjshir new hope. His projects have the potential for exponential growth, providing the locals with an excellent opportunity to rise from subsistence farming and become an especially productive and diverse agricultural province.
Schlenz said he absolutely loved his ag adviser experience and is grateful to NRCS for the opportunity. "This agency has been darn good to me, and this has been the highlight of my career."
Schlenz currently works as a resource conservationist in the NRCS field office in Dayton, WA.

Blu-ray disc (BD) format has been a huge enemy of the consumer, in Microsoft Corp.'s words, just several years ago and Microsoft Windows 7 operating system still does not support its playback, but in its holy fight against Apple's Macintosh computers even Blu-ray optical drive inside Windows-based personal computers is considered as a huge advantage compared to Macs.
Microsoft at present runs "Laptop Hunters" campaign in the U.S. and displays the advantages that mobile computers with Windows Vista OS have over Apple Macbook systems at the same price point. The most recent episode of the campaign called "Lisa and Jackson" shows how a mother with son are looking forward a notebook capable of handling video games for under $1500. At the end, the alleged end-users pick up Sony Vaio FW-series laptop with 16.4" screen, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 discrete graphics processor, a Blu-ray disc drive and so on.
The commercial emphasizes Blu-ray optical drive inside the machine, a device that is not available inside a single Apple Mac computer.
The only Apple Macbook systems available below $1500 are Macbook 13" with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz chip, Nvidia core-logic with integrated GeForce 9400M graphics core, 1280x800 screen resolution, 2GB of memory, 160GB hard drive and DVD optical drive and so on. The systems are priced at $999 in case of plastic enclosure or $1299 for a machine in aluminum case.
By comparison a Sony Vaio FW system for $989 and sold via SonyStyle online store at press time includes 16.4" screen with 1920x1080 resolution, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz chip, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 discrete graphics processor, 3GB of memory, 160GB hard drive, Blu-ray drive and so on.
Microsoft used to heavily criticize Blu-ray format due to its extensive copyright protection technologies. However, after competing HD DVD format virtually ceased to exist without support from Toshiba Corp., the world's largest software designer ceased to criticize BD and may even be ready to introduce an add-on Blu-ray drive for its Xbox 360 video game console.
Despite of the fact that Apple has supported Blu-ray for many years, it has never introduced a computer with a BD inside.

December 1, 2000 (217) 782-4648 or (312) 814-3490
Springfield, IL – Students in Illinois schools will benefit from an effort to improve classroom instruction through the effective use of technology sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education and the WorldCom Foundation. The free Internet training initiative, called MarcoPolo, will provide Illinois teachers with the knowledge and tools to integrate Internet resources into their classroom curricula.
Teachers will find a wealth of free information on the MarcoPolo website at www.wcom.com/marcopolo, including free materials from partner sites, such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Council of the Great City Schools, the Kennedy Center, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council on Economic Education, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Geographic Society.
MarcoPolo offers dynamic lesson plans, links to educational sites approved by panels of experts, educational material sorted by grade level and curricula based on national standards. Teachers will also find educational resources specific to each site, such as atlases, economic indicators, and weekly news magazines.
With 96 percent of Illinois schools connected to the Internet, MarcoPolo is a resource that can help teachers throughout the state develop engaging and exciting classroom work in topics across the curriculum. MarcoPolo guides teachers directly to relevant, high-quality sites that can raise the level of classroom instruction and student work.
The Illinois State Board of Education has set the goal of preparing a minimum of 200 trainers throughout the state to lead their colleagues in using MarcoPolo. To meet this goal, the State Board is conducting "Train the Trainer" sessions from September 2000 through May 2002 throughout the state. The trainers will offer their colleagues basic Internet training, helping even teachers who have never operated a mouse to become effective users of online resources.
As part of the program rollout in Illinois, the WorldCom Foundation and the MarcoPolo partners have already educated approximately 40 Technology Trainers on the MarcoPolo Internet Training Program. Two 6-hour sessions were offered in southern Illinois in September, and more sessions are planned throughout the state in November and December.
The WorldCom Foundation is the principal instrument for WorldCom corporate giving. The Foundation is proud to have established the MarcoPolo Program – a unique, results-oriented Internet education initiative.
MarcoPolo is an unprecedented public/private partnership project designed to explore the frontiers of Internet-based education. The overriding goal of MarcoPolo is to provide the highest quality educational content and professional development free of charge and easily accessible to all educators in the country. The WorldCom Foundation is an active contributor to the MarcoPolo partnership, providing staff, technical support, partner funding and guidance on the overall direction of the MarcoPolo project.
For more information about how to participate in this new initiative, please contact Jamey Baiter of the State Board staff at (217) 782-5439 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Dear Zenaida,
This letter is to endorse you for your bid as District Clerk. You are the only candidate running for this position that I feel is qualified and has the "on hands experience" needed to operate the office without hesitation.
Had I known what I know now, I would have retired when I first shattered my leg and asked the Judges to appoint you. Never the less, you ran the office as if it were your own. Without any pay increase, without any promises of advancement or time off, you stepped up to the plate and handled everything with ease. You proved your capabilities and showed others that you were very able and willing to run the office under pressure and duress.
There is no facet of the District Clerk's office that you aren't well versed in. After all, you helped implement each and every new innovation that exists today. You always put the office first and above your private life. You never complained about working weekends or after hours in order to catch up and stay abreast of situations beyond our control.
I never heard you grumble about anything petty or important. To you, everything had a deadline to meet and by golly that deadline was going to be met regardless of whatever else might arise.
You are the only candidate I would ever consider appropriate or suitable to fit the title as the District Clerk of Bee County. I know it has been your life long dream to achieve this goal, yet you helped me campaign time after time to ensure my re-election. For that, I can never thank you enough. But in the same sense, it shows how impartial and fair minded you are.
I could go on and on with praises about you, but instead I will close with saying that God is with you as you well know. With the recent loss of your mother, my heart goes out to you. Campaigning for office is like a roller coaster ride. Taking you to the top and dropping quickly. I pray your loss won't keep you at the end of your ride very long. Your mother raised you to be the fine Christian woman you are today.
You are my friend and above all else, you are the QUALIFIED and EXPERIENCED candidate for BEE COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK. You will win this election and when you do, I hope to be there with you.
God bless you and keep you. With all my prayers and heartfelt gratitude for your help to me, I wish you the best of luck!
With true admiration and sincerity,
Sandra Clark
Your friend and former District Clerk of Bee County

Deutsche strategist puts rotation on hold
Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid has warned it is time to hold fire on the increasingly popular view that a great rotation from bonds to equities is taking place.
Back in October, Bank of America fired the starting gun on the rotation. According to its chief strategist Michael Hartnett: "The era of bond outperformance has ended. Equities have staged a remarkable stealth rally, with US stocks not only outperforming Treasuries over the past one and three years, but also the past 10 years."
Over the last four months, the rotation trade has remained intact, finessing into a fall in sovereign bonds and gains for high yield. JIm O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, has backed an equity revival. Growth stocks have cratered, while value trades have gained ground.
In his latest research note, Reid does not disagree that change is in the air: "It does feel that the strong technicals in fixed income are now being tested." He notes there have been increased outflows from corporate bond ETFs."
He adds: "There is huge reliance on keeping over indebted entities funded and the fixed income market generally solvent." He argues: "This will ensure that the authorities and central banks keep yields low for some time yet.
"Our feeling is that despite the recent wobble, flows will still come into fixed income in 2013, which will limit the sell-off."
But BofA continued to egg its pudding today by declaring: "The safe haven bid has vanished. The favoured trade is to sell 'safe havens', e.g. the Swiss franc, the DAX, Apple and other beneficiaries of the fear trade in recent years." It even expressed doubts over the future "trophy" status of prime London property.
Elsewhere, Franklin Templeton bond guru, Michael Hasenstab, has loaded up on higher risk Hungarian and Irish sovereign debt and questioned whether "safe" US Treasury on yields of 2% is worth owning.

So, I'm trying to establish breastfeeding after having my little man in the NICU and pumping for the first few days of his life (he's a week old, now). I'm having a few issues, and I was hoping to get a little help. I'm going to try to call a LLL member or the LC from the hospital if I don't get any better soon. Aiden wants to sleep all day and night. He only weighed 5 lb 8 oz at birth, so I'm really nervous about him not getting enough to eat. I've been supplementing with formula and EBM when I don't feel like h's had enough to eat. Sometimes he'll latch for me and suck for about 10 minutes, but sometimes he just latches for a minute and falls asleep right away. I want to try to get away from the pumping and such because it's really, really wearing me thin. My husband works long hours so it's just me and the baby and I'm not getting much sleep as it is.
How do I get Aiden to wake up to feed? I am supposed to wake him to feed every three hours, but unless he wakes up hungry, I can barely get him to eat anything. I unwrap him, talk to him, rub his hands, feet, back, and still he sleeps.
How long should he be feeding at a time?
How do I do this?!?!
Please help!
Oh, and because he's so small, latching issues have surfaced. Sometimes he gets it, sometimes he doesn't. I want him to eat so badly, though, I am almost willing to just let him suck without a proper latch, but I know that's not helping anything.
Ok, sorry, I'm pretty overwhelmed right now. He's had four wet diapers and two dirty diapers today, so far. Here's what he's eaten:
#1 - 1200 am - 20 min breast + 5 ml
#2 - 0130 am - 10 min breast
#3 - 0430 am - 70 ml EBM
#4 - 0800 am - 5 min breast
#5 - 0915 am - 30 ml EBM
#6 - 1215 pm - 35 min breast
Does this seem OK? To top it all off, I've got a massive headache today, that just isn't going away, and it's stressing me out. Your help would be sincerely appreciated!

Eastern New Mexico University cross country coach Greg LaSage knows his Greyhounds and Zias have their work cut out in Saturday's South Central Region meet at Commerce, Texas.
"The teams that beat us in the (Lone Star) Conference meet are all ranked in the top 10 in the region," said LaSage, whose squads both came in fifth in the league get-together Oct. 25 at Portales Country Club.
"We can compete at this level, but we're going to have to run real well."
The men's race, set for 9 a.m. (MST), will be 10 kilometers — the normal men's event is 8K — while the women will run their standard 6K starting at 8 a.m.
The meet, hosted by Texas A&M-Commerce, consists of teams from the LSC, Heartland Conference and Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.
The top four men's and top two women's squads move on to the NCAA Division II nationals Nov. 22 at Cary, N.C. What makes it even tougher for ENMU is the fact that only the top two individuals on non-qualifying teams advance.
LaSage said the men have been preparing for the extra distance they'll have to run.
"A lot of it's going to be mental," he said. "Training-wise, we're fine. We were pretty high-mileage last week.
"If they can stay focused for that extra 2,000 meters, I think we'll be OK."
LaSage said both his squads will have the same runners who competed for him in the LSC meet.
Redshirt freshman Ricardo Hernandez and sophomore Orlando Sanchez have been the top runners for the Hounds.
The women are led by junior Karissa Huskey, who ran her best race in the league meet in finishing fifth.
"With her workouts and everything, she should be capable of doing that every week," LaSage said.

- Title
- The spatially resolved stellar populations of isolated early-type galaxies
- Author(s)
- Reda, Fatma M.; Proctor, Robert N.; Forbes, Duncan A.; Hau, George K. T.; Larsen, Soren S.
- Abstract
- We present radial stellar population parameters for a subsample of 12 galaxies from the 36 isolated early-type galaxies of Reda et al. Using new long-slit spectra, central values and radial gradients for the stellar age, metallicity [Z/H] and ?-element abundance [E/Fe] are measured. Similarly, the central stellar population parameters are derived for a further five isolated early-type galaxies using their Lick indices from the literature. On average, the 17 isolated galaxies have mean central [Z/H]o and [E/Fe]o of 0.29 ± 0.03 and 0.17 ± 0.03, respectively, and span a wide range of ages from 1.7 to 15 Gyr. We find that isolated galaxies follow similar scaling relations between central stellar population parameters and galaxy velocity dispersion to their counterparts in high-density environments. However, we note a tendency for isolated galaxies to have slightly younger ages, higher metallicities and lower abundance ratios. Such properties are qualitatively consistent with the expectation of an extended star formation history for galaxies in lower density environments. Generally, we measure constant age and [E/Fe] radial gradients. However, three galaxies show remarkable positive age gradients and two galaxies have negative age gradients. We find that the age gradients anticorrelate with the central galaxy age. Thus as a young starburst evolves, the age gradient flattens from positive to almost zero. Metallicity gradients range from near zero to strongly negative. For our high-mass galaxies metallicity gradients are shallower with increasing mass. Such behaviour is not predicted in dissipational collapse models but might be expected in multiple mergers. The metallicity gradients are also found to be correlated with the central age and metallicity, as well as to the age gradients. In conclusion, our stellar population data for a sample of isolated early-type galaxies are more compatible with an extended merger/accretion history than early dissipative collapse.
