Springfield – Who knows better than students what other students are thinking, feeling, and often, planning?
No one. Including the adults who run the schools, according to the State Board of Education's Student Advisory Council (SAC.)
As part of its annual report to the State Board, the SAC last week presented an audit on school violence designed to help school administrators garner student input on school violence, which can then be used to help shape schools' safety plans.
The group of high school students from around Illinois was created 25 years ago to give the State Board advice on pertinent education issues from a student's perspective. About 30 juniors and seniors comprised this year's SAC.
The State Board endorsed the audit and agreed to send it to every public and private Illinois school. The SAC also asked the State Board to provide training, funding and technical assistance to help local districts implement the audit and any safety initiatives that it may generate.
"I strongly encourage schools to take advantage of this great opportunity to see what their students think can and should be done about school violence," said State Superintendent Glenn W. McGee.
In nearly all of the school shootings that have occurred in the past 10 years, the shooter had told someone (usually other students) about the plan to do the shootings.
Yet, students often don't share such information. "As much as we don't want to see our friends get hurt, we also don't want to see them go to jail," said Josh Thackston, a senior at Eldorado High School.
"The audit is a good way for schools to help students understand, recognize and assume more responsibility for their own safety at school," McGee said.
"By engaging them this way, we hope to change the school culture and improve the school's learning environment," he said.
The audit contains five surveys. Each can be administered to students individually or together with any or all of the others. Students wrote each survey in in clear, uncomplicated language designed to produce unambiguous answers.
Ideally, students will administer the surveys to other students and school administrators will use the information to foster and support further dialogue and planning, Thackston said.
Not every student is likely to be as interested or willing to share his or her opinions as those on the SAC, who tend to be student leaders, Thackston admitted. But the audit's success doesn't require total involvement, he added.
"Everybody and their brother doesn't have to be behind this. There will be five, 10, 15 people who will talk about this, be serious about it and take it to the administration," Thackston said.
Students will take the audit seriously if they see adults taking it seriously, added Eva Byerley, a junior at Lemont's Mt. Assisi Academy.
"As long as the administration is behind it and makes it clear that it's important and they want the information," students will participate, she said.
"I mean, it's our lives that we're talking about," Byerley said.

MIAMI Burger King said it will add a breakfast menu of 10 items priced at $1 each on Feb. 19. The rollout is believed to be the first shift of the dollar menu, one of the quick-service sector's most effective traffic-builders at lunch and dinner, into the hotly contested morning market. The new array of $1items will include a new ham, egg and cheese sandwich, dressed with honey butter and served on a sesame-seed bun, that BK has dubbed the Hamlette.

Wess is the President Emeritus of Compassion. He served as President and Chief Executive Officer from 1993-2013.
About Compassion, Employees and Culture, For New Sponsors, Multimedia, What You Can Do
Everett Swanson / history / What are you going to do?
Bless you, Niki! Thank you for your service to us all, and to South Korea. And thank you for your heart for children.
I am 19 years old stationed in South Korea with the Army right now. I've been to Seoul many times to the huge skyscrapers and malls. I never imagined. I sponser a 18-year-old girl in Ethiopia through Compassion, and I sponser a 9-year-old girl here in a Korea from an orphanage (not through compassion obviously). I do see the change in christianity from then til now. It is a christian based orphanage called The House that Develops Dreams. It really makes me appreciate this country and feel good about myself protecting this country.
This story never bores me…keep sharing it! And keep asking us… "What are you going to do?"
Thank you for the heads up!!! The boys I sponsor are 7,8,9 I believe. They are all from the South. One lives in Davao in the Sasa Hills, one lives 83km South of Dipolog and one lives 234km East of Zamboanga. Since I am so close to almost dunking I am going to try and give it a good final push these last few months to get that dunk with 2 hands. I don't want to arrive empty handed so to speak!!! hahaha 😉 Nonetheless I am very thankful I am able to visit and hope to take tons of pictures of everything we do and some videos if I can get my hands on a video camera. This may be my last trip for a few years. Thanks again for the advice!!! I thought maybe if I say "YES!!!" to all the potential marriage proposals with a HUMONGOUS smile on my face maybe that could provide me with A WAY OF ESCAPE!!! Or maybe I should just put in a few extra running sessions with my triathlon training!!! This trip will be nearly twice as long as my Nicaragua trip last year b/c that Sponsor Tour was only 7 days and a group of us missed the first day b/c of a plane delay. So I am very excited in all that we will get to experience in the 12 or so days of this trip!!! Thanks for all your work with Compassion Dwight!!!
I Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for YOU!!!"
Hi Mike I hope you have a good trip to the Philippines. I went on a trip to the Philippines a few years ago and it was great. The people are amazing.
Depending on the age of your child he might only speak a local language. In school they learn Tagalog and English (unless he is from the Manila area). If your child is older he should speak some English. On my trip I had one of my sponsored children teach me some of the language…so you might want to have them teach it to you in the local language his speaks. Many nationals speak good English.
Most Filipino's are only about 5 feet tall…give or take a few inches so that fact that you can touch the rim on the basketball court will be vary impressive to them.
FYI – if you're single…one of the single men in our group had some issues with women coming up to him on the street and asking him to marry them.
I too enjoyed the video and learning new things I did not know about Compassion. As I was watching I was thinking…"What will the plane engines tell me on the way to the Philippines!!!" I will have a good 11-17 hours to listen!!! hahaha!!! One of the boys I sponsor there is named Angelo and he mentioned in one of his letters that he wants to be a basketball player so I told him I would dunk a basketball for him with 2 hands when I visit in June. The amazing thing to me is I knew I may not be able to visit and even if I was how was I going to be able to dunk a basketball with 2 hands!!! What a mess I thought I got myself into!!! But now a few months later the trip is paid for (thank God for my month as a taxi driver!!! $4k in less than a month praise the Lord!!!) and I can hang on the rim with one hand!!! (need about 1 more foot to dunk with 2 hands) So when the plane engines are taunting me saying "Can you dunk? Can you dunk? vrrmmm vrrmmm Can you dunk? Can you dunk? vrrmm vrrmm I hope to say "Yes I can, yes I can.. woo woo woo with 2 HANDS!!! I am also excited for the SW Regional Advocates conference I am signed up for April 17-19!!! I will get to meet some of you finally in the flesh and blood!!! 😉
P.S. I wanted to learn "Awesome God" by Rich Mullins in Tagalog or any dialect for that matter for when I go over does anyone have a clue??? b/c I do not!!!
I grew up just a few miles from the old compassion headquarters in Chicago. My mother who also grew up in Chicago has told me stories about when Rev. Swanson visited her church in the 1950's. She was just a teenager at the time….
God changes the world by using large numbers of regular people doing a little. Like my grandparents regular people…. Sometimes I wonder if my sponsorship really matters but as a part of a larger group of people we can have an effect on a developing country just like the previous generation did for Korea!
After ww2 we did not send people to Japan and today they are rich but poor spiritually. Only about ½% of Japanese are Christians. When a lot of average people do nothing, nothing happens.
Elaina! How encouraging your comment is, and your first comment – nothing like breaking the ice 🙂 I just wanted to say it is very nice meeting you (I am Brianne, hi!) and I m excited to read more about your thoughts & comments 🙂
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
Amazing story. I hope that the final frame "Legends & Stories" is an indication that these brief insights into the ministry of Compassion over the years will continue here.
Thanks, Wess.
I met someone at my church whose adopted brother was one of those children Compassion rescued in Korea.
I am amazed at how God uses one person to impact millions! He is faithful!!!
As a Korean myself, after watching this video, I'm ever more thankful for people like Swanson and the countless missionaries who gave their life for Korea.
It is because of these people that Korea is now a praying nation that in turn sends out millions of missionaries to reach the unreached.
Thank you.
This story never fails to stir me. God always has a plan. Praise God Everett Swanson listened and then obeyed.
That's such an amazing story! It just goes to show that when we listen to God, He'll use us to do big things for His kingdom.

I hope you have enjoyed your summer! I know mine was jam-packed full of camping, beaching and barbecuing. Most people consider Labor Day the unofficial end of summer, but to me, Rosh Hashanah is the true harbinger of fall.
This year, my thoughts have turned too quickly from sunscreen to services: Rosh Hashanah 5774 falls on Sept. 4, only two days after Labor Day.
Most families use apples to dip in their honey to symbolize their hope for a sweet new year. My family also uses challah for dipping. On Rosh Hashanah, we use a round challah to signify the cyclical nature of the year.
My friend Simone Nadav, a Fishtown resident and mother of two, includes her 2-year-old daughter, Bayla, in her challah baking. She says, "Since the holiday of Rosh Hashanah is about beginning a new year, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to try two new challah recipes. I like to bake challahs with Bayla — she always has so much fun helping to measure and taste the ingredients.
My mother-in-law joined us this morning and gave me new, creative ways to make round challahs. Some we braided and stuffed with raisins, cinnamon and sugar; others, we twisted into round challahs; and some, we just sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the bottom of the pan so that the bottom is sweet!"
2 packs of rapid rise yeast
2 very full teaspoons salt (more or less to your taste)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups boiling water
7) Bake about 35 minutes at 350˚ until top and bottom are golden brown and bread sounds hollow when you tap it with a knife.

I have a friend who just went back to work and was on her break, she went to the only room at our job that she can use to pump and our GM ( who is a man) was in a nearby room.
She informed him she was going to be pumping so he wouldn't come in because there in no lock on the door.
During this time a co-worker, who was on break as well, came into the room to talk to my friend. Then our GM came into the room asked my pumping friend if she was pumping?,where the baby was?, how long she was going to breastfeed for?- ALL while she was exposed and pumping !!!!!!
She just called me from there extremely upset!!What are the laws regarding pumping at the workplace?? The workplace is in the state of Maryland. We need to be informed to let this GM know the law!!!!

Liberty Free Theatre's play reading of 'Red'
September 4, 2013 —
LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The Catskill Art Society will present the Liberty Free Theatre in a performance reading of the play "Red" by John Logan at the CAS Arts Center at 48 Main Street, on Thursday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. The performance will feature Paul Austin, artistic director of the Liberty Free Theatre, in the role of acclaimed abstract painter Mark Rothko and Bradley Diuguid in the role of his assistant.
Winner of the 2010 Tony Award, "Red" was praised by the New York Times as "intense and exciting… a portrait of an angry and brilliant mind that asks you to feel the shape and texture of thoughts." Legendary painter Mark Rothko (Paul Austin) is creating a group of murals in his New York studio for the exclusive Four Seasons restaurant. He gives orders to his assistant Ken (Bradley Diuguid), as he mixes the paints, makes the frames and paints the canvases. Ken, however, brashly questions Rothko's theories of art and his "selling out" to work on such a lavish commercial project.
The play is in one act and runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission. The performance will be followed by a free reception with refreshments.
Tickets are available for a suggested donation of $25. Advance reservations are highly recommended as seating is limited. For reservations, call 845/436-4227 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Proceeds will benefit CAS and the Liberty Free Theatre. Visit www.catskillartsociety.org.

|Title: Medical Devices; Anesthesiology Devices; Proposed Reclassification of Pressure Regulators for Use With Medical Oxygen and Separate Classification of Oxygen Conserving Devices
|Abstract: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to reclassify pressure regulators for use with medical oxygen from class I to class II, establish a separate classification for oxygen conserving devices, and establish a special control for these devices to address problems of fire and explosion associated with use of these devices. The special control would be a guidance document that includes standardized testing, performance, and labeling guidance for industry. Devices that meet the standard identified in the special controls guidance document would be exempt from the premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act). The requirements of the proposed rule would be phased-in to minimize the cost of complying with the special control.

A Congestion Management Process (CMP) is a continuous cycle of transportation planning activities designed to provide decision-makers with better information about transportation system performance and the effectiveness of alternative strategies to deal with congestion. A Congestion Management Process may be considered as consisting of four main components:
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Act a Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) requires that congestion relief be considered in the selection of transportation improvement projects, and that all urbanized areas with populations in excess of 200,000 (termed Transportation Management Areas [TMAs]) develop and implement a Congestion Management Process.

Laboratory Management and Technical Issues
BOD Testing & Meter Calibration
What is the necessity of the Winkler Method in the conductance of a BOD test? When calibrating the DO meter by using barometric pressure to standardize O2, is that passable?
Is there a necessity to do seeded samples if there is not a question of the
effluent make up? And, is there a necessity to do G-G checks on a constant basis?
There seems to be a problem with the interpretation with Standard Methods
on conducting weekly BODs & would like to fix for the sake of standardizing the SOP and for the sake of legitimacy and reporting.
There is no universal requirement to check calibration of the DO meter with a Winkler titration as far as I know, but most regulatory/accreditation programs require that you check it "periodically." If you are having problems with blanks, however, and can't narrow down the cause, it could be something about your lab environment (e.g., temperature or pressure fluctuations) that would affect the saturated air calibration, but not the Winkler. In that case it would be worthwhile checking calibration with the Winkler often to see if such fluctuations might be affecting readings.
As an example, I evaluated a lab in Chicago that had an entire room devoted to BODs. During temperate weather they would leave the door to the room open, but close it during particularly warm weather to keep things cool, especially when their constantly running hood was drawing out a lot of cool air. With the door closed, the hood ALSO lowered the air pressure in the room, so if they calibrated in the morning while it was cool, and later closed the door, their blanks would be "out".
You will want to check with the regulatory agency using your data about what they require. Calibration in saturated air is used by the majority of environmental labs. How's that for a complex answer to a short question!
When air calibrating, be sure to use actual temperature, and actual pressure (not a constant pressure based on your elevation). The table in Standard Methods does not include pressure as a variable. If you need such a table, you can snatch one from...
You must seed all samples where you are not sure they have sufficient viable, hungry, bacteria. For some labs, and especially those having industrial waste in their influent, that includes seeding influent samples. Effluents before disinfection may, or may not have a viable bacteria population, and effluents after disinfection MUST be seeded (it's in the method).
Thanks for confirming my take on it, Perry; and it's nice to see your name again
You are very welcome. I just realized I didn't address your question on testing the GGA standard. It's a good question...Standard Methods 5210B is rather wishy-washy on the subject.
says the purpose of the GGA test is to check the effectiveness of the
seed, and they finally admit in the 21st Edition that it is also used
to check overall performance for the test. It checks bias when
you compare your average value over several batches (20 is good, 25 is
better and what NELAC/INELA requires) and comparing it to the 198 mg/L
mentioned in the method. It also check precision, the other component of accuracy, by
comparing the standard deviation for those same results to the 10 mg/L
goal implied (but very well disquised) in the method. The method says
the 30.5 mg/L cited as the standard deviation in a study of several
labs throughout the U.S. should be considered a control limit.
Since control limits are normally considered to be three standard
deviations, one standard deviation would be 30.5/3, or ~10 mg/L.
Although a standard deviation of 10 mg/L is achievable, I consider such
a low goal (with "low" being good) to be unnecessary to assure adequate
performance, and suggest 15 mg/L as the standard deviation goal. EPA
seems to agree where in their "interpretation" document of QC for the
CBOD test they said the relative standard deviation (the standard
deviation divided by the average) should not exceed 7.5%. 7.5% of 198
is approximately 15 mg/L.
So why did I explain all that
rather than simply saying "you should run the GGA in every batch"? To
convince you that you should, in my opinion, WANT TO run a GGA in every
batch...it's your only real way of keeping track of your performance
for the BOD/CBOD test. By monitoring the average and standard
deviation of the GGA test, and values for blanks, you can tell if you
are doing a good enough job and take corrective action if you aren't.
If you prefer a simple answer, Standard Methods falls short of saying you must run a GGA. However, most regulatory agencies and lab accreditation programs require
it, but many do not specify how often it must be run. I suggest at
least one GGA bottle be run in every batch of BOD or CBOD, and more
bottles if you are having precision problems so you can see if it is within-batch imprecision as opposed to between-batch imprecision that is causing the problem. Some regulators/accreditation agencies require two or three bottles, but recent guidance for the Standard Methods BOD committee says one bottle is OK for well-characterized samples, and GGA is certainly one of those.

Miracles Can Happen. All you need is belief.
All I talked about in my last blog was belief. How I believed in the Red Sox, and I wouldn't give up until the game was over. I have to be honest with you, I did have a little doubt when we were down 7-0, but I knew we wouldn't go down without a fight. And as we kept accumulating runs, I thought: look, regardless of what happens tonight, or for the rest of the series, we fought. We didn't go down without a fight, we didn't lose a pathetic game 5-0. We're 7-1 in elimination games with Terry Francona. It's the first time since 1929 that a team has come back from 7 runs (the Philadelphia A's did it against the Cubs). I was so disappointed in some of the Fenway Faithful that ended up leaving the park. But you could tell that the real fans were there with the consistent faith that was evident throughout the night.

Glad I discovered your blog from your comment on Jimmy Curren's Yankees blog. Yes, I'm a Yankee fan but I love your passion for your team. Tonight will be very exciting, whichever way it goes. Beckett is always a threat, hurt or not hurt, and Shields has been been the Rays' ace. One thing's for sure: I'll be watching every inning. Take care. We baseball "she-fans," as I call us, have to stick together!
Yeah, I'm still excited about that game. That was the best game I've ever seen. Wow. Check out my report on it!

Haven't seen that yet, but there's definitely no such thing as a "Small" Coke. It would be Regular. No doubt that term will at some stage be considered too nondescript and colourless.

Shona, I had to put this! I looked in my thesaurus under 'exaggeration', and found: fish story!

'exaggeration', and found: fish story
Could be a response to those lines (which I just found quote Sun Ra, whoever he is):
"I'm not a part of history - his story,
I'm more a part of the mystery, which is my story.
What's your story?"
"A fish story!"
Quite appropriate here actually, Jackie, 'cos fish stories would I think relate to the size of things. Like Coke cups, I mean .
A fishonabike story would perhaps be a dramatic exaggeration that sounds wholly convincing when first heard, but on further consideration makes no sense at all. You return to the scene of the "crime" only to find that the storyteller has disappeared, your last bottle of bourbon has mysteriously emptied itself, and there's no fish-food left in the cupboards.

Harumph - a scooter's not much better than perambulation.
fishonatrike is more like it.

Hmph. Probably not even really a fish. Plankton on a trike, perhaps.

Less is more?
Oh, and to avoid confusion with the instrument, perhaps cellsonatrike would work better, but I like cellonatrike, take your pick of pronunciation.

- Abstract
- Catalogue for the exhibition 'Savage luxury: modernist designing in Melbourne in 1930-1939', held at the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne from 14 July to 04 November 2007, curated by Nanette Carter. It brought to public attention the emergence of architectural and design modernism, patronage, reception and its retailing within the context of economic, social and political forces in Australia during the 1930s. Combining five room settings and a series of five themed areas, incorporating textiles, ceramics and glass, plans and elevations, technology items, posters and publications, this exhibition was very well attended and reviewed. A floor talk, a seminar (with Dr Juliet Peers & Prof. Harriet Edquist RMIT University and Dr Jennifer Phipps independent curator) and two architectural tours (with Prof. Phillip Goad, University of Melbourne) were held to support and expand on the exhibition's content.

Numbers are Sandoval: 240 pounds
There was no tale of the tape, at least not from Pablo Sandoval.
After Sandoval promised to report his weight when he reported to camp, the Panda declined to share that info after stepping on the scales on Friday.
But thankfully, the sports training company that oversaw his offseason regimen was willing talk. Go figure.
Trainer Ethan Banning of Triple Threat Performance told the San Jose Mercury News that Sandoval dropped 38 pounds during his offseason training.
So why wouldn't the Panda want to discuss that? Well, it probably had to do with Sandoval's listed playing weight last season. The Giants listed Sandoval at 5-11, 245 last season.
Banning reported that Sandoval weighed 278 when he began working with Triple Threat. Sandoval now weighs 240.
Teams often fudge on playing weights, which is probably why they instructed Sandoval not to discuss his weight publicly.
But as Bruce Bochy said, Sandoval clearly passed the eye test when he showed up in Scottsdale.
And Sandoval also showed some good decision-making when passed on new teammate Miguel Tejada's offer to join his workout regimen and trainers. Sandoval said he'll stick with Triple Threat.
Good call, Panda. And just say no to Miggy's B12 vitamin injections.
1 Comment
A player of Panda's caliber has to drop some weight.
Not only does it effect his mobility and stamina, it effects his speed and ability to turn on that inside low pitch.
I do not want to see the Panda turned into a Puma.
There has to be a reason the trainers are speaking out…maybe out of spite, possibly hoping to cash in a bit on the Panda Program this season.
Whatever the reason, good to see he did lose weight, probably feel healthier, now he just has to show it on the basepaths.
a different Kung Fu Panda 2 comes out soon…..
Possibly April 1st in the Bay Area.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here. I am dealing with my 4th child who is almost 6mos. So far she is either bf or taking a bottle of bm from a sitter. She is going through about 18oz of bm (3 6oz bottles) while I'm at work. Once she starts cereal (although I'm seeing many babies start on other things), I'm concerned I won't be able to pump enough for both bottle and mixing into her cereal so I had considered using formula just for the cereal. Anyone ever deal with this?

Canadian police are searching for body parts as well as answers after finding a severed female head in a local river on Thursday, near where hikers found a severed human foot the previous day.
Police said the body parts were believed to be those of an adult but they could not confirm they belonged to the same victim until DNA testing was complete, The Toronto Star newspaper reported.
However, "common sense tells us this is most likely related," police spokesman Randy Cowan said. "Without a cause of death we can't call it homicide, but certainly foul play -- there's definitely something amiss."
Hikers found the right foot, which police think belonged to a woman because its toenails were painted with yellow polish, in the Credit River on Thursday in Mississauga, a city of 700,000 people west of Toronto.
Police found the head in Mississauga's Hewick Meadows Park later on Thursday.
"We'll be looking for the entire victim," Cowan said.
Second gruesome discovery
It was the second gruesome set of discoveries in Canada in less than three months. In June, body parts were mailed to schools and political parties, prompting an international manhunt for the suspect.
Fugitive Canadian porn actor found in Berlin reading about self
Police said the body parts, along with a decapitated head found in a Montreal park in July, belonged to Chinese student Jun Lin, allegedly dismembered by porn actor Luka Magnotta.
Magnotta was arrested in an airport in Berlin and deported to Canada. He is accused of killing, dismembering and cannibalizing Lin -- believed to have been his lover.
Reuters contributed to this report.

PopTech Blog
A lovely talk for Valentine's Day. At PopTech 2009, Kacie Kinzer took the stage to tell us about Tweenbot. It's a tiny, cardboard robot she built to help her explore what technology can reveal about empathy and cooperation. Hear how its cuteness convinced 29 strangers to help it with a task.
The woman who could fly
Next up in our "Here comes the gold!" series is Elizabeth Streb, Extreme Athlete and PopTech 2007 speaker (her talk). We asked her the question we posed to Rodney Mullen yesterday: What in her opinion is the single characteristic most likely to predict success in athletes?
Her response? You need a "rapid unremitting Junkyard Dog will." You need "fight...the impulse to never retreat - or surrender." And you need to be able to "contend...with pain in a theoretical manner."
Elizabeth's update? She is the star of Catherine Gund's amazing new film, "Born to Fly," which will premiere at SXSW this March. You can also catch it at the Film Forum on September 10th in NYC. For those of you hungry for a "more tactile and fierce existence in the world," see this! It will inspire you.
Here comes the gold! And not just in Sochi...
With everyone's eyes on Sochi, we got to thinking about some of the talented and innovative athletes who've graced our own stage. We've had an Olympic gold medalist, a world-class adaptive snowboarder, and an extreme action artist, just to name a few. These guys are good. Really really good. So we asked a few of them what in their opinion is the single characteristic most likely to predict success in athletes.
First up: Rodney Mullen, "The "Godfather of Street Skating" (Watch his PopTech 2013 talk here)
"When skaters — or any athlete I've known, really — internalize the competitive part so much that it dissolves, they become what they do; that's the first that burns the hottest, that isn't conditional, and doesn't waver — the rest are just performance parameters that hopefully line up for 'em. Nearly all the pros I can think of who make it to the top and stay there — a fairly small number — have a little bit of craziness to them. In fact of the most gifted ones I know who didn't make it, that same kind of craziness is the one thing they lack. The nature of How We Practice determines success more than any single factor — excluding overly generalized terms, like 'gifts' or 'drive.'"
Camden skateboarders of all ages enjoy learning from Rodney.
As for what's new in his world, Rodney reports that he has been doing some work with an amazing photographer that "will capture skating in a way that's definitely never been done before," which all came about through a friendship with Dhani Harrison, George Harrison's son. We can't wait to share the results!
Next up? Elizabeth Streb. Stay tuned.
Data, impact, jobs, design: 20 minutes with PopTech Fellows
Earlier this week, we opened the nominations for the 2014 class of PopTech Social Innovation Fellows. Do you or someone you know qualify? Take a look here and apply between now and April 1. Fellows gain access to training, mentors and a year-round community to increase their visibility and create lasting impact.
To celebrate our search for the next generation of innovators, we're highlighting the work of a few PopTech Fellows alumni below. Enjoy!
"I met a lot of other people...who wanted to use design to close that gap in social inequality instead of continuously increasing it. I learned there are tens of thousands of designers and engineers who want to be involved in humanitarian work, but their opportunity is limited to volunteering or low-paying jobs...that's failure on all of our parts." - Heather Fleming of Catapult Design
"90% of the planet is thought to be literate and youth in poor countries speak English, they use Facebook on their mobile phones and they don't want our charity, they want a job. So the big question is, how do we employ them?" - Leila Janah of Samasource
"To date, we've had over 3,000 students from 100 countries in one of our 50 online courses and these students have gone on to get jobs and start projects in their communities. 95% have said, 'This has made a difference in my life and in my work.'" - Nick Martin of TechChange
"There's all this data available to help [social organizations] maximize their impact, and no one is looking at it." - Jake Porway of DataKind
Two PopTech talks on #WorldCancerDay to inspire and educate
In its new report, the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization states that in 2012, "the worldwide burden of cancer rose to an estimated 14 million new cases per year, a figure expected to rise to 22 million annually within the next two decades." Wow.
Whether you may be a cancer survivor or fighter, caregiver or supporter, it goes without saying that today is a special day of reflection, education and awareness.
On World Cancer Day, we pay tribute to two inspiring researchers who took the PopTech stage and showed us that passionate people are working hard to fill the gaps in cancer research and understanding.
Jim Olson, a pediatric oncologist, received a standing ovation at PopTech 2013. His incredible research around "tumor paints" —which use scorpion venom — will show you why. Jim stated, "it was in the back row of [my former patient Hayden's] memorial service that I sat there and decided I was not going to consider grants, publications, promotions or space. Instead I was going to design every experiment in my career toward making sure that other families didn't have to go through what Hayden's went through."
In 2010, another cancer pioneer took the PopTech stage. When physician and researcher Siddhartha Mukherjee discovered there was almost nothing on the origins of cancer, he was inspired to write a book, which went on to win a Pulitzer Prize. "Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer" explores the history of this disease that has affected humans for more than five thousand years.
We're grateful for the work of these two physicians and the many others who are working on solutions aimed at reversing the alarming statistics.
Social Innovation Fellows nominations are open
The Social Innovation Fellows program represents PopTech's deep commitment to innovation. Through the achievements of our Fellows and their organizations, our entire community is enriched, inspired and provided opportunities to engage in unique, cutting edge work that is changing the way we think, work and create impact.
Our goal is to bring together a group of extraordinary leaders, and we need your help to find them.
Do you know someone doing exceptional work on critical issues in the U.S., or around the world? We're looking for people working in fields such as livelihoods, healthcare, energy, green technology, environment, education, performing arts and other areas with significant social impacts.
The strongest candidates are working on truly new approaches, have at least early positive results and a promising path to scale, and have a passion for collaboration.
They may be developing new platforms that can be applied in a variety of settings, or creating new models for getting a crucial benefit to where it is most needed, or designing for impact through invention, measurement and rigorous testing.
Check out the call for nominations, and nominate someone today!
Nominations will be open through April 1, 2014. The PopTech Social Innovation Fellows program is generously supported by the Rita Allen Foundation, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, National Geographic, Omidyar Network, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Toyota.

The new Forbes '30 under 30' list features a series of PopTech Fellows
A number of members of the PopTech community have been named to Forbes' "30 Under 30" list of people who are changing the world.
On example is Josh Nesbit, who has been a very active member of the PopTech community for years. Forbes praised Nesbit's Medic Mobile, which pioneered the use of mobile phones for healthcare, starting in a remote region of Malawi.
Nesbit was a PopTech Social Innovation Fellow back in 2009, participating in one of PopTech's programs designed to help cultivate the work of promising innovators and bring their work to scale. Nesbit also gave a talk at PopTech's annual conference in 2010.
In 2013, Nesbit returned to the PopTech annual convening, this time to mark his work as the first recipient of a disbursement from PopTech's Impact Fund — a program committed to leveraging resources and providing small catalyst investments that seed new initiatives that have high potential for disruptive impact. Nesbit received the support for his work with Raj Panjabi, a 2010 PopTech Social Innovation Fellow. Panjabi co-founded Last Mile Health, which forges innovative partnerships between rural health centers and their surrounding communities. The model features community health workers trained to treat patients in remote locations.
2013 PopTech Science Fellow Christina Agapakis made Forbes' list as well. Agapakis is a microbiologist who makes cheese from bacteria collected in unusual places, such as from the human body. Armpits. Mouths. Between toes.
Forbes celebrates the work of Daniella Witten. She works in statistical machine learning, a field at the interface of statistics and computer science. In addition to her research, Witten has written a book intended to make cutting-edge statistical machine learning techniques more accessible. Witten was a 2013 PopTech Science Fellow.
Forbes also recognizes Tevis Howard who founded KOMAZA, a profitable microforestry social enterprise, to help end extreme poverty for rural Kenyan families living in arid landscapes. Howard was a PopTech Social Innovation Fellow in 2008.
In addition, Forbes features 2010 PopTech Social Innovation Fellow Ryan Smith's organization, Micromidas, which specializes in turning raw sewage into high quality bio-plastics.
Bellagio/PopTech Fellows nominations are open
PopTech and the Rockefeller Foundation are proud to announce the 2014 call for nominations for a unique joint Fellows program focused on unconventional collaboration.
The Bellagio/PopTech Fellows program brings together five to six individuals from diverse backgrounds for a two-week immersion at the Rockefeller Foundation's renowned Bellagio Center on the shores of Lake Como, Italy. The program's first set of Fellows brought many new insights to bear on using big data to enhance community resilience.
The 2014 program is focused on reinventing and democratizing livelihoods. The Fellows will explore how global economies are changing, the potential benefits and challenges of moving from big manufacturing to a distributed model, the opportunities unlocked by the emergence of sharing economies, and how to ensure citizens, in particular poor and vulnerable populations, are well prepared to participate in these ever-changing contexts.
This effort will be creative, interdisciplinary and collaborative – providing an environment where emerging tools, approaches and solutions are viewed as an art as much as a science.
The program is seeking candidates from relevant fields such as design, economics, technology, art and social innovation. A diverse cohort of Fellows will be chosen for their technical and creative excellence and their demonstrated ability to work and think across disciplines.
Know someone who might be a good fit? Nominations will be accepted through January 30, 2014, via the online nomination form. Candidates may self-nominate or be nominated by someone else. Eligibility details are available on the call for nominations web page.
Banks' new book chronicles innovations from gritty fieldwork
As part of a fellows program several years ago, social innovation pioneer Ken Banks found himself at Stanford University where he was surrounded by young students studying social entrepreneurship. When Banks asked them about the focus of their academic work, those students responded that they were trying to learn the skills they needed to go out and change the world for the better.
This struck Banks as a noble academic pursuit, but also a little odd. After all, Banks had been a successful innovator in that field since the 1990s. In 2005 he released FrontlineSMS, one of the most effective text messaging field communication systems available that is now in use in more than 150 countries worldwide.
But rather than classroom preparation, Banks came up with his successful innovation after growing increasingly frustrated with faulty communications in the field and deciding to do something about it. "My only qualification was that I'd spent enough time in the field understanding the problem I was solving, and that I knew how to code," Banks told PopTech. "I didn't go on an innovation course, or take a qualification in social entrepreneurship."
That kind of hands-on, fieldwork ethos is a central thrust in Banks' new book, "The Rise of the Reluctant Innovator," a collection of essays by successful social entrepreneurs edited by Banks. Banks also penned the introduction, which includes the advice, "The only qualifications you need to change the world are a little hope, faith and determination." Banks also serves as faculty for PopTech's Social Innovation Fellows program.
Hands-on experience is a unifying feature among the innovators featured in Banks' book. (That list includes Brij Kothari, Erik Hersman, Joel Selanikio and Laura Stachel, among others). This isn't so much disdain for the growing institutionalization of social innovation as it is a strong conviction that extensive fieldwork is an essential part of doing the job well. This echoes the guidance of other legendary social enterprisers, like Paul Polak, who have long emphasized deep, personal familiarity with a stubborn challenge as opposed to ivory tower social innovation from afar. "You may be the person best-qualified to solve a particular problem in the world, but that's of little use if you don't find it," Banks writes. "There are very few short cuts other than to leave your comfort zone and get yourself out there."
Empathy and grit are two other common characteristics among Banks' innovators. And those traits are central to his use of the term "reluctant" to describe the entrepreneurs in his book, rather than, say, "accidental." Banks explained to PopTech that the innovators profiled in "Rise" also discovered sticky problems in the field and are people who are "fundamentally disturbed, angered or frustrated at what they see." They are determined to help. He writes in his book: "Many of these people weren't looking for a cause to occupy their time or dominate their lives. The easy option isn't the one they took. They took the hard one for the greater good."
There are other common attributes among the kinds of pioneers featured in "Rise." Banks says the most successful of these innovators try to leave their egos behind when they pack their bags and head off to some remote area. "It always saddens me when I think of the progress that could be made if people weren't so busy worrying about who gets the credit," he said. "To succeed, social innovators need to be selfless, open, egoless and always looking at the bigger picture."
That's not to say that there isn't value in studying social innovation as an academic pursuit at a place like Stanford. But Banks and his coterie of innovators say that the big breakthroughs are more likely to come far from its hallowed campus. "To really understand the world and to find something that truly switches you on," Banks said, "You need to get out and experience it."
"The Rise of the Reluctant Innovator" is available from Nov. 20th in all good bookshops, and via Amazon and other online retailers. Further details can be found at www.reluctantinnovation.com.

RELA_intro card_GC_v02c1 of 13
Monica Bellucci2 of 13
By Natasha Burton
Althought she's arguably one of the most beautiful women ever, Monica didn't always intend to grace the world with her highly coveted looks: She attended Italy's University of Perugia with the intent to peruse a career in law. While a courtroom life wasn't for her, she's had the chance to play characters on the other side of the law, as in the film Shoot 'Em Up.
Mona Lisa3 of 13
While there's been speculation of who exactly is the subject of Leonardo da Vinci's famous work, most agree that the Lisa in question is Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo, a cloth and silk merchant who commissioned the painting of her. We like the idea of a regular gal — Lisa had six children and was said to have lived a typical middle-class life — being the subject of such a legendary work of art.
Sofia Coppola4 of 13
One of the most acclaimed women in film, Sofia became the third woman (and the first American woman) to be nominated for an Oscar in the Best Director category in 2003 for her film Lost in Translation. More recently, in 2010 she became the first American woman (and fourth American filmmaker) to win the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival for her film Somewhere.
Rosa Ponselle5 of 13
This opera singer was born in Connecticut, but her parents were Italian Neapolitan immigrants. Rosa's voice, which was first discovered by the organist at her Catholic church when she was a kid, later caused music critics to name her one of greatest sopranos of the past century. Record producer Walter Legge said hers was "the most glorious voice that ever came from any woman's throat."
Giada DeLaurentiis6 of 13
While she was born in Rome and grew up in Los Angeles, Giada studied cooking at the illustrious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. We love her dearly, but we have a hard time watching her show Everyday Italian (which has been broadcast on the Food Network for nearly seven years). Every time we do, we get the urge to make lasagna or baked ziti or some other delicious Italian dish, and then eat the entire pan in one sitting. Very, very dangerous.
Catherine De Medici7 of 13
The Medicis were perhaps the most influential family in Italy during the Renaissance, producing four popes and ruling over a great deal of territory. After marrying Henry II, Catherine became Queen of France and, when Henry died, she helped her three young sons govern the country in turn (two of them were under age 16 when they were crowned king).
Maria Bello8 of 13
We know her best for her roles in films ranging from A History of Violence to Coyote Ugly, and from her work on ER, but this actress also has a soft spot for her culinary heritage and eating, as we Italians call it, family style. In fact, her mom, Kathy, recently wrote a cookbook, Cooking With Passion and Love, to which Maria contributed recipes. SHOP NOW: Cooking With Passion and Love, $20
Sophia Loren9 of 13
This actress is arguably one of the most iconic cinematic beauties. And, as a true Italian woman, she's not into the whole skinny-means-pretty thing that Hollywood advocates. In fact, she is credited with saying that "Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner." Oh Sophia, we couldn't agree more.
Madonna10 of 13
Set in a category of notoriety that includes the likes of Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Michael Jackson, this Italian pop star is so famous she needs only her first name. The Guinness Book of World Records recognizes Madonna Louise Ciccone as the world's top-selling female recording artist of all time. And we'd argue that one of her number-one hits, "Like a Prayer," is among the most entertaining songs to sing karaoke-style of all time.
Lady Gaga11 of 13
It makes sense that the next coming of the kind of individuality Madonna brought to pop culture would arrive in the form of another fearless Italian woman. Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, Lady Gaga sure has upped the ante for celebrities trying to create their individual style, making even Madonna's cone bra seem rather dull in comparison.
Mother Frances12 of 13
Known formally as Saint Francesca Saverio Cabrini, this Italian-born nun was the first American citizen to be named a saint. She was sent by the Pope himself to New York in the late 1800s to help Italian immigrants and later established 67 orphanages across the U.S. Her sainthood came from not just her work helping others, but for her alleged healing of a terminally ill nun.
Rita Levi Montalcini13 of 13
This neurologist from Turin won the Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine in 1986 for her work with tumor and nerve cell growth research. While she's 101 years old, she currently serves in the Italian Senate as one of six "senatore a vita" — who are allowed lifetime tenure in the legislature for their "patriotic merits."

New album by Robinella, 'Ode to Love,' on the way
Breaking news, local music lovers: Robinella (also known as Robin Ella Tipton Bailey, the chanteuse who used to front Robinella and the CCstringband) has a new album on the way (it'll be out in "three months, max," she told me this week), and when she performs at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Lambert Recital Hall at the Clayton Center for the Arts (502 E. Lamar Alexander Parkway in Maryville), you'll get to hear plenty of the material that will be on it.
It's called "Ode to Love," and the bulk of the songs were cut in Connecticut with jazz guitarist and producer Frank Vignola (who's worked as a sideman to Madonna, Ringo Starr and Leon Redbone, among others). Save for a couple of covers ("Stardust" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"), the songs are original Robinella compositions, she said, and feature a number of guest stars.
"Technically, I think it's my best album," she said. "I recorded for two days in Connecticut, and Frank played on it, and then I took what I'd recorded back to Knoxville (to Scott Minor's Wild Chorus Studio) and finished it with all my local friends."
Those guests include dobro master Rob Ickes, jazz vocalist and string bassist Nicki Parrott, Blount County bluegrass phenom Jesse Gregory on mandolin, Blount County boy and Knoxville Jazz Orchestra bandleader Vance Thompson on trumpet, harmonica player Michael Crawley and the guys with whom she'll perform on Saturday: bass player Taylor Coker, guitarist Mike Seal, drummer Nolan Nevels and keyboard player Justin Haynes, the latter two of whom perform with her in the R&B side project Pulse. She also performs a duet with Mike McQueen of the Blount County band HollowTree — "We're hoping Quentin Tarantino's going to need to pick it up for a soundtrack," Robinella added with a laugh. "It's a weird song called 'My Crazy Love.'"
Admission to Saturday night's show is $10; stay tuned for updates regarding a release show for "Ode to Love."

There's "oops." And then there's "OOPS."
We're guessing someone at Britain's Royal Liverpool University Hospital is in hot water after a man scheduled to undergo minor surgery was given a vasectomy by mistake.
Doctors tried to reverse the blunder, but it remains to be seen whether the man will be able to father children, according to The Telegraph.
He was scheduled to undergo a urological procedure.
But doctors carried out an operation on the "wrong site," according to hospital officials.
"We have apologized unreservedly to the patient and we are offering him our full support," Dr. Peter Williams, the hospital's medical director, told reporters. "We greatly regret the distress this has caused him."
The man has not been identified, and health officials have refused to disclose his age because of patient confidentiality.

In response to multiple questions about the defensive approach, Raji replied: "That's a question better left for the coordinator."
Asked what halftime adjustments were made, Woodson replied, "It was just about trying to execute the defense we were running. That's what it boils down to. If it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then like I say, maybe you change. If not, you just try to execute."
Woodson and McCarthy both said that they employed a "spy" on occasion against Kaepernick – linebackers Erik Walden, Brad Jones and Clay Matthews all did it at various points, as did Woodson – but it never really worked. Even McCarthy had to acknowledge that, replying to one spy question, "You might not have noticed, but we did."
And yet, despite all their mistakes in all three phases, it was still 24-24 with 8:25 left in the third quarter when Kaepernick broke free on his 56-yard TD – "The end came down, our receivers blocked the corner and the safety, there was nobody else left," he described it, succinctly – and even after that, the Packers had their chances.
On the drive after Kaepernick's run made it 31-24, Rodgers scrambled for a 17-yard gain on third-and-10, but the drive stalled. And when the 49ers scored again on the next series – their touchdown drives after the 24-24 tie would cover 80, 93 and 93 yards – the Packers again saw a promising drive stall out just short of midfield.
"We didn't do enough on offense. We could have helped our defense out a little bit," said Rodgers, who finished the night with misleading numbers (26 of 39 for 257 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and one sack (91.5 rating) because of a late touchdown pass to Jennings. "The second half we had a chance. We were right in it. A touchdown there on the first possession would have put us in a good situation, but we came up short.
"We gift-wrapped them 14 points on two turnovers and we were in the game. Our defense was doing all right. Then the second half we just didn't score any points. … We knew we were going to have to score some points. I'm disappointed we couldn't get any on that first drive out of the second half. But we were able to come back and get a field goal and they go down and score and we knew were probably going to have to put up 38 points at least to win the game."
And now begins an uncertain offseason. After the game, Woodson, Finley, Hawk, Driver and Jennings all spoke of not knowing what the future holds. They don't know where they'll be next season, and the franchise has to be wondering where it's headed as well.
"The reality of it is, there will probably be some changes made," Jennings said. "Hopefully, I'm here. But if not, I'm ready to move wherever. It is what it is. I'm not naïve to that, being a realist. I love this organization. I really wouldn't want to go anywhere else, but if I have to that's what I'm ready to do.
"We lost. It is what it is."

Dem Congresswoman Sneers At Pro-Gun Senior Citizen Afraid That Gun Control Laws Could Get Him Killed: 'You'd Probably Be Dead Anyway'
At a public gun control forum in Denver, Colorado on Tuesday, a senior citizen stood up to ask a question to the assembled panelists who included U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.).
The man asked, "My question is: What about me? There may not be one bad guy that comes into my house… I have to change magazines? I am (at) a serious disadvantage. What about me?"
It was a fair question. One law abiding citizen confronted by multiple criminals in his house, late on a dark night, could conceivably go through quite a few bullets in a hurry. A short pause to change magazines could be the difference between life and death in that situation.
So, how did U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette respond? She intoned, "The good news for you, you live in Denver. The (Denver Police Department) would be there within minutes." Then DeGette smirked as she noted, "You'd probably be dead anyway if they had that kind of firepower."
Well, certainly the Senior Citizen would be dead if it were up to DeGette since she would disarm him and leave him at the mercy of his attackers. Of course, from DeGette's arrogant perspective, that would probably be a plus since she wouldn't have to put up with his impertinent questions. After all, who does that old man think he is daring to question Diana DeGette?
