The following steps for preparing and submitting the
Eagle Scout Rank application and accompanying materials will help prevent delays in securing National Council approval and certification.
Confirm all requirements have been completed: merit badges, service project, active participation, Scout spirit, position of responsibility, etc. Note that the unit leader (Scoutmaster) conference must occur before the 18th birthday, though it need not be the last item accomplished. The board of review, however, may be conducted after the 18th birthday. For details,
see "Boards of Review," 188.8.131.52.
The most current workbook must be used. It can be found
at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/resources.aspx. The workbook
shows the project proposal was approved ahead of time, and then properly accepted by all parties when finished. Ideally, it will be a proud reminder of a significant accomplishment. See "Use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook," 18.104.22.168.
If either approval is withheld, the Scout, if he desires
it, must still be granted a board of review. For details,
see "Initiating Eagle Scout Board of Review Under Disputed Circumstances," 188.8.131.52.
The Scout must complete the official Eagle Scout Rank application, No. 512-728. No other form or application method is permitted. A fillable PDF can be found at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/resources.aspx. The application
can also be printed and completed by hand. Careful review and thorough proofing will prevent delays. Remember, everything is verified by the local council; discrepancies and errors will lead to a form's return. Pay special attention to the following red-flag items.
1. Dates: Joining, birth, First Class through Life boards of review, all merit badges, positions of responsibility with "FROM" and "TO," Eagle service project final signature, Scoutmaster (unit leader) conference, Eagle board of review, and other signatures called for below.
2. Signatures: Applicant, unit leader, and unit committee chair. (Remaining signatures come later.)
3. References: Must list all six (five if not employed). If not affiliated with an organized religion, then the parent or guardian provides this reference.
4. Merit badges: Dates as mentioned above; check the unit number in which each badge was earned. Attach the Application for Alternate Eagle Scout Rank Merit Badges, if applicable.
5. Position of responsibility: Must be one of those listed for Eagle Scout rank, and must relate to the unit where the Scout is registered and active. For example, "SPL" would not be used by a crew member.
6. Attachments: Service project workbook, statement of ambitions and life purpose, and listing of positions, honors, and awards.
The unit leader and committee chair signatures represent approval for the candidate to move on to a board of review. In providing them, the signers carefully check the application. If there are "red-flag" issues (see above), such as time spans between ranks that don't meet the requirements, then the dates should be confirmed. If they are correct but do not fit the requirement, then the Scout, parents, or unit leader should contact the district advancement chair for guidance. Usually, as with unavoidable discrepancies, a letter of explanation will be helpful in addressing the issue.
A copy should be made of the application, service project workbook, and the other attachments. Once copies are in safekeeping, the originals are delivered promptly to the council service center. The candidate should not have to wait. Timeliness is especially critical if he is approaching, or has already turned, 18. Sending materials late can imply the work continued afterward. If possible, everything should be hand-delivered. Otherwise it should be sent by registered or certified mail.
Councils may suggest service project workbooks (only) be sent or taken to a different person or location, such as a district advancement committee member. This has the potential for cost-savings in sending it out for the board of review. An Eagle Scout candidate, however, should confirm that any related instructions are correct and up-to-date. If there is any concern the workbook will go to the wrong place, it should accompany the Eagle application to the service center.
Everything is checked against council records. If information in ScoutNET or council files is incomplete, the Scout or the unit will be asked to provide certificates, blue cards, or other suitable proof that merit badges and ranks were earned and that dates are accurate. If everything is
correct, the council provides a certification signature, files a copy of the application, and sends the original with the service project workbook and other items (such as reference letters received) to the board of review chair or other designated volunteer. The board is scheduled only after the council-certified application is received.
Council advancement committee members—or others designated—contact the references appearing on the Eagle Scout application. This may be done by letter, form, or phone call. For reasons of privacy and confidentiality, electronic submissions are discouraged. It is acceptable to send or deliver to the references an addressed envelope with instructions, and perhaps a form to complete. The Scout may assist with this, but that
is the limit of his participation. He is not to be responsible for follow-through or any other aspect of the process.
It is up to the council's designated representatives to make every effort to collect the responses. If after a reasonable effort no response can be obtained from any references, the board of review must go on without them. It may not be postponed or denied for this reason, and the Scout may not be asked to submit additional references or to provide replacements.
Completed reference responses of any kind are the property of the council and are confidential, and only review-board members and those officials with a specific need may see them. The responses are not to be viewed by, or returned to, the Scout. Doing so could discourage the submission of negative information. For the same reason, those providing references shall not be given the option of waiving confidentiality. Once a review has been held, or an appeal process conducted, responses shall be returned to the council, where they will be destroyed after the Eagle Scout credentials are released or the appeal is concluded.
If a board of review approves a candidate, the signed application, reference letters, and other confidential information are returned to the local council. Unless otherwise directed, the service project workbook and statement of ambitions and life purpose (requirement 6,
Eagle Scout Rank application) can be returned to the Scout. If approval is denied, all materials are returned to the council.
The statement of ambitions and life purpose, as noted on the Eagle Scout Rank application, is an official rank requirement. It will be added to the requirements shown in official literature.
At the council the Scout executive signs the application, certifying proper procedures were followed. The application is then entered into ScoutNET, filed locally, and sent electronically to the national Advancement Team. In special cases, such as those for Lone Scouts or Scouts more than six months past their 18th birthday, councils must submit applications via mail, email, or fax for manual processing.
The Advancement Team validates all applications received and generates the credentials. Staff members then print, package, and mail the certificate, pocket card, and congratulatory letter to the council. Applications sent for manual processing take several weeks to complete.
While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious institution, any school, or your community. (The project must benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) A project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your unit leader and unit committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 512-927, in meeting this requirement.
—Eagle Scout requirement 5
This requirement formerly read, "The project plan
must be approved …" This change is effective with the release of the Guide to Advancement and the 2011 revision of the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook. Scouts working on project plans at the time of release may choose to use either the changed, or previous, wording. The 2012 Boy Scout Requirements book will be updated accordingly.
While working toward completion of the Eagle Scout service project, especially during the proposal approval process, a candidate has the right to expect the following:
An advancement administrator is a member or chair
of a council or district advancement committee, or a
volunteer or professional designated according to
local practices, to assist in advancement administration.
Work on a project, including planning, begins after the Life Scout board of review. But this is not meant to preclude an enthusiastic Star Scout from talking with his Scoutmaster, religious leader, or principal about what a good project might be.
Planning and development require forethought, effort, and time—sometimes more than for execution. Thus, for the most part, they are considered part of the project and are detailed further once a proposal is approved. It is inappropriate to expect a Scout to invest the time required for detailed planning, only to face the prospect of rejection. See "Proposal Must Be Approved … Before You Start," 18.104.22.168.
It is important not to categorically reject projects that, on the surface, may not seem to require enough planning and development. Consider, for example, a blood drive. Often rejected out of hand, this project, if done properly, could be acceptable. Few would question the beneficiary. Blood banks save lives—thousands of them: maybe yours, maybe that of a loved one. If the candidate proposes to use a set of "canned" instructions from the bank, implemented with no further planning, the planning effort would not meet the test.
On the other hand, there are councils in which Scouts and advancement committees have met with blood bank officials and worked out approaches that can comply. Typically these involve developing marketing plans and considering logistics. People successful in business know
how important these skills are. Some blood banks will also set a minimum for blood collected as a measure of a successful plan. To provide another valuable lesson, they may require the candidate to keep at it until he's met this goal.
A good test of any project is to evaluate its complexity. In the case of a blood drive, for example, elements of challenge and complexity can be added so there is a clear demonstration of planning, development, and leadership.
"Others" means at least two people besides the Scout. Helpers may be involved in Scouting or not, and of any age appropriate for the work. In cases where just three people are not able to conduct a project to the satisfaction of a beneficiary, then more would be advisable. It may be, however, that a well-chosen project conducted by only three provides an impact not achievable in those involving more.
One of the purposes for the project is to demonstrate leadership, but this could be considered a more important element, perhaps, for a Scout who has not yet established himself as a leader. It is for reasons like these that every project must be evaluated, case-by-case, on its merits, and on lessons that will advance the candidate's growth. Councils, districts, and units shall not establish requirements for the number of people led, or their makeup, or for time worked on a project. Nor shall they expect Scouts from different backgrounds, with different experiences and different needs, all to work toward a particular standard. The Eagle Scout service project is an individualized experience.
"Any religious institution" and "any school" are self explanatory. But what does "your community" mean? In today's world of instant communications and speedy travel, we are affected more and more by what goes on all over the world. Prices for goods and services, investment values, our very safety, and how we feel about those less fortunate in other countries, all are involved. Thus, if a Scout wants to take his oath "to help other people" to another level and put his project to work for the "community of the world," he is allowed to do so. A council may emphasize more local efforts but should not deny worthy projects of a wider scope.
Normally "your community" would not refer to individuals,
although a council or district advancement committee
may consider scenarios where an individual in need can
affect a community. An example might involve elderly
persons able to live at home but unable to maintain their
property, with the result being an "attractive nuisance"
or related dangerous situations, or even an eyesore—
something that raises concern to more than that of just
an individual. If it can be determined it is the community
that benefits, then it is a matter of identifying who will
provide approvals. They must come from a source
representing the "community," such as a neighborhood
association, watch group, homeowners association, or
perhaps a division of a town or county.
The project beneficiary need not be a registered nonprofit.
Projects may not be of a commercial nature or for a
business, but this is not meant to disallow community
institutions that would otherwise be acceptable to the
council or district advancement committee. These might
include museums and various service agencies, or some
homes for the elderly, for example. Some aspect of a business's operation provided as a community service
may also be considered; for example, a park open to
the public that happens to be owned by a business.
In cases such as these, the test is whether the project
primarily benefits the community, as opposed to the
profits of the business.
"To help other people at all times" is a basic tenet. The Eagle Scout service project is an important and meaningful opportunity to practice what we teach. Projects may not be performed for the Boy Scouts of America or its councils, districts, units, camps, and so forth. The unit's chartered organization, however, is certainly a good candidate, as are other youth organizations such as the Girl Scouts of the USA.
The proposal is an overview, but also the beginnings of
planning. It shows the unit leader and any representatives
of a unit committee, council, or district, that the following
tests can be met.
The detail required for a proposal depends on project complexity. It must be enough to provide a level of confidence for a council or district reviewer that the above tests can be met, but not so much that—based on the possibility a proposal can be rejected—it does
not respect the time it takes to prepare.
The unit committee is responsible for an approval of the proposal. It is acceptable for a troop, team, crew, or ship committee to designate representative(s) to act on its behalf. This is a unit decision. Neither the district nor the council may institute restrictions, such as how many committee members are to be involved.
A form for preparing a proposal appears in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 512-927. Completing it will represent a reasonable time investment and an introductory learning experience, and also provide the information needed for approval. The
candidate shall not be required to submit more than is described there, or more than is necessary to establish
that a project can meet the above tests.
Space is provided in the workbook for the candidate to record comments made during discussions with the district or council volunteer going over the proposal. A thorough review should generate numerous suggestions, cautions, and perhaps concerns (see "What an Eagle Scout Candidate Should Expect," 188.8.131.52). The Scout should be encouraged to write these down and take them seriously. When the reviewer is satisfied the above tests can be met, then approval is granted.
It is important to be as considerate of an Eagle Scout candidate's time as we expect him to be of ours. He is probably just as busy. Every attempt should be made to complete the approval process in one meeting. Then he should be challenged to work on his planning
action steps and to consider scheduling time with his project coach for progress reports and further guidance. If he is amenable, it is advisable to hold one of these meetings after a final plan is completed and he is ready for implementation.
It is also acceptable for the coach or the advancement administrator responsible for approval—if he or she becomes concerned the project will not meet the requirements or it will not be completed to the satisfaction of the benefiting organization—to contact the Scout
and his parent or guardian and, as appropriate, a representative of the beneficiary. However, even though the project coach may provide guidance critical to success, final design issues are ultimately between the Scout and the beneficiary. For limitations on the coach's role, see "Eagle Scout Service Project Coach," 184.108.40.206.
From time to time Scouts will "jump the gun" and begin fundraising efforts—or even work on the project itself— before a proposal is approved. This is counter to the requirements and well covered in multiple documents, but still it happens. Normally then, a Scout should select a different project. If circumstances are compelling, however—indicating lenience can be extended and a lesson learned without significant detriment to fulfilling the project's purpose—the Scout can be allowed to carry on and have his proposal or project approved after-the-fact.
Because it is virtually impossible to forecast every contingency, candidates must be allowed a level of flexibility in carrying out proposals and planning action steps. But essential elements of a proposal should not be changed without good reason. If this must occur, the Scout should consult his project coach or unit leader for advice. It is appropriate to strongly suggest he share substantive changes with the project beneficiary, and also with those involved in preapprovals.
If it appears changes will cause results to fall below what is required, then cautionary advice is in order. Except under extreme circumstances, it is not acceptable for unit, or council or district, approval to be withdrawn. If the young man decides to strike out on his own, this is his prerogative. At some point, responsibility must take over. The board of review decides whether planning was sufficient and if the requirement was met.
The project beneficiary can stop work on an approved project. If enough has been done—such that the requirement's intent has been met—then the project should still be given final approval. In extreme cases where changes could involve such issues as violations of law or BSA policy, or if they bring about unacceptable levels of risk, then district or council advancement administrators may bring this to the attention of the Scout, his parent or guardian, and his unit leader, and call for work to be suspended until compliance is achieved.
Using the workbook, No. 512-927, is like insurance. It protects candidates and helps avoid pitfalls. If properly used, it very nearly assures success. It shows approvals have been secured, lists important limitations, suggests questions for those approving the project, and includes outlines for the proposal and the more detailed final plan that should come next.
The workbook should not, however, become a source for rejecting candidates based on "technicalities" that have nothing to do with requirement intent. The use of the workbook is required, but occasionally Scouts will submit it without everything called for. In most cases they should be required to fully complete the proposal and project report, and be strongly encouraged to complete the final plan. However at times it may not be feasible, or just not necessary to establish that the requirement was met.
If it is clear the project was completed and approved of, and meets Eagle Scout requirement 5 as it is written, then it should be considered. If it will be a hardship, or a poor use of time to fill in missing information or obtain a signature of a party who is unavailable or by some other means known to have approved it, then it is appropriate to accept it. There is something to be said for "object lessons," but keep in mind that write-ups and signatures, though important, are simply supportive. It is a project that we require. Boards of review should use common sense: Did the project meet the requirements or not? Was there planning and development? Was there leadership of others?
The requirement that Scouts use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook means they must use the official document as produced by the Boy Scouts of America. Although it is acceptable to copy and distribute it, and even to transfer it to a different software platform or operating system, it must maintain the same appearance. No council, district,
unit, or individual has the authority to require additional forms, or to add or change requirements, or to make any additions, deletions, or changes in the text, outlines, graphics, or other layout or informational elements of the workbook.
Many units, districts, and councils use Eagle Scout service project "coaches." They may or may not be part of proposal approval. Though it is a Scout's option, coaches are highly recommended—especially those from the council or district level who are knowledgeable and experienced with project approvals. Their greatest value comes in the advice they provide after approval of a proposal as a candidate completes his planning. A coach can help him see that, if a plan is not sufficiently developed, then projects can fail. Assistance can come through evaluating a plan and discussing its strengths, weaknesses, and risks, but coaches shall not have the authority to dictate changes, withdraw approval, or take any other such directive action. Instead, coaches must use the BSA method of positive adult association, logic, and common sense to help the candidate make the right decisions.
In many cases, candidates will not have undertaken
something like an Eagle service project. Thus, we want
them to obtain guidance from others, share ideas, seek
plan reviews, and go through other processes professional
project planners might use. But like a professional, the
Scout makes the decisions. He must not simply follow
others' directions to the point where his own input
becomes insignificant. On the other hand, adult leaders
must bear in mind he is yet a youth. Expectations must
be reasonable and fitting.
Projects may not be fundraisers. In other words, the
candidate may not stage an effort that primarily collects
money, even if it is for a worthy charity. Fundraising is
permitted only for securing materials and otherwise
facilitating a project. And unless it involves contributions
only from the beneficiary, or from the candidate, his
parents or relatives, his unit or its chartered organization,
or from parents or members in his unit, it must be
approved by the local council.
It is up to the council to determine who may serve as
project coaches and how they might be assigned or
otherwise provided to candidates. Coaches must be
registered with the BSA (in any position) and have
taken BSA Youth Protection training, and may come
from the unit, district, or council level.
The Scout must make it clear to all donors or event
participants that the money is being raised on behalf of
the project beneficiary, which will retain leftover funds.
Should any donors want documentation of a gift, this
must be provided through the project beneficiary, not the Boy Scouts of America. Once collected, money raised
must be turned over for deposit to an account of the
beneficiary or the candidate's unit, until needed for the
project. If the unit receives the funds, it must release them
to the beneficiary once expenses have been paid.
For additional detail see "Procedures and Limitations on Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising," found in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 512-927, on the reverse of the Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising application.
Routine labor is not normally considered appropriate
for a project. This might be defined as a job or service
that a Scout may provide as part of his daily life, or a
routine maintenance job normally done by the beneficiary
(for example, picking the weeds on the football field at a
school). But the real test has to do with scale and impact.
If "routine labor" is conducted on so large a scale it
requires planning, development, and leadership, it may
have sufficient impact.
Eagle Scout projects must be evaluated primarily on
impact—the extent of benefit to the religious institution,
school, or community, and on the leadership provided
by the candidate. There must also be evidence of
planning and development. This is not only part of
the requirement, but relates to practicing our motto to
"Be Prepared." However, in determining if a project
meets requirement 5, reviewers must not require more
planning and development than necessary to execute the
project. These elements must not overshadow the project
itself, as long as the effort was well led, and resulted in
otherwise worthy outcome acceptable to the beneficiary.
The Eagle Scout Service Project Fundraising application, found in the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, is used to obtain approval when required. Completed forms are sent to the local council service center where they are routed to those responsible for approval. This may be a district executive or another staff member, the council or district advancement committee, a finance committee, etc., as determined appropriate by the local council.
There may be instances where, upon its completion, the unit leader or project beneficiary chooses not to approve a project. One or the other may determine modifications were so material that the extent of service, or the impact of the project, were insufficient to warrant approval. The candidate may be requested to do more work or even start over with another project. He may choose to meet
these requests, or he may decide—if he believes his completed project worthy and in compliance—to complete his Eagle Scout Rank application and submit his project workbook without final approval. He must be granted a board of review, should he request it.
If it is thought a unit board may not provide a fair hearing, a board of review under disputed circumstances may be initiated. (See "Initiating Eagle Scout Board of Review Under Disputed Circumstances," 18.104.22.168.) The risk in this approach should be discussed with the Scout. But at the same time, the fact he is so convinced may point to a need to reevaluate what was done. Perhaps, despite the lack of final approval, the project did indeed meet the requirement.
At the board of review, if an approved proposal and any
subsequent effort represents planning and development
that was adequate to the project, and the project was
well led and carried out to the satisfaction of the unit
leader and project beneficiary, only in a very rare case
would rejection result. It would have to be clearly
established that Eagle Scout requirement 5—as written—
was not completed. Under no circumstances may final
project approval be withheld for reasons that have
nothing to do with the project.

All Eagle Scout service projects constitute official Scouting
activity and thus are subject to Boy Scouts of America
policies and procedures. Projects are considered part
of a unit's program and are treated as such with regard
to policies, procedures, and requirements regarding
Youth Protection, two-deep leadership, etc. The health
and safety of those working on Eagle projects must be
integrated into project execution. As with any Scouting
activity, the Guide to Safe Scouting applies. The "Sweet
16 of BSA Safety" must also be consulted as an appropriate
planning tool. It can be found online at "Scouting Safely,"
sweet16.aspx. Unit leadership should be aware of project plans and schedules, and also familiar with the council's requirements for fi ling tour plans (tour "permits") in order to determine whether projects require them. More information can be found at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/TourPlanFAQ.aspx.
At the time of publication of the Guide to Advancement, changes were being made to the Guide to Safe Scouting that will affect how service projects are conducted. The changes limit the use of hazardous power tools, machinery, and equipment, and also such activities as working at heights or on ladders, and driving motor vehicles.
Anyone under 18 who uses any power tool of any size
must be supervised by a mature adult experienced in the
use of the tool. As a rule, Scouting activities may not
include activities for youth that, by law, they would not be
allowed to do in a workplace. It is important also to obey
restrictions manufacturers impose or suggest for the use
of their tools or other products, or potentially hazardous
chemicals such as paints, stains, lacquers, etc.
The Boy Scouts of America's General Liability Policy
provides general liability insurance coverage for official
Scouting activities. Registered adult leaders are provided
primary coverage. Unregistered adults participating in a
Scouting activity are provided coverage in excess of their
personal insurance.
Every council has the opportunity to participate in the
BSA Accident and Sickness insurance program. It
provides insurance for medical and dental bills arising
from Scouting activities. If councils do not purchase this,
then units may contract for it. In some cases chartered
organizations might provide insurance, but this must
not be assumed. Most of these programs provide only
secondary coverage, and are limited to registered youth
and adults and those interested in becoming members.
All Eagle Scout service projects constitute official
Scouting activity and thus are subject to BSA policies
and procedures. Projects are considered part of a
unit's program and are treated as such. As with any
Scouting activity, the Guide to Safe Scouting applies.
Scouts or qualified Venturers and Sea Scouts may earn
Palms after they have achieved the Eagle Scout rank. For
each one they must be active three months since their last
award (Eagle or Palm), demonstrate Scout spirit, make an
effort to develop and demonstrate leadership, earn fi ve
additional merit badges beyond those required for Eagle
or the last Palm, take part in a unit leader conference,
and pass a board of review. All requirements except the
board of review must be completed before age 18, and
time extensions are not available. Merit badges earned
at any time since becoming a Scout may be used. Palms
must be earned in sequence, one at a time (Bronze,
Gold, Silver), with the time requirement observed for
each one. Palms are not considered ranks, but rather
degrees of the Eagle Scout rank.
If a youth foresees that, due to no fault or choice of his
own, he will be unable to complete the Eagle Scout rank
requirements before age 18, he may apply for a limited
time extension. These are rarely granted and reserved
only for work on Eagle. For a request to qualify, the
following tests are applied.
At the time of publication of the Guide to
Advancement, changes were being made to
the Guide to Safe Scouting that will affect how
service projects are conducted. The changes limit
the use of hazardous power tools, machinery, and
equipment, and also such activities as working at
heights or on ladders, and driving motor vehicles.
The Boy Scouts of America will welcome Scouts
back after periods of inactivity, and in considering
advancement, will not hold time lost against them.
All time requirements, however, must still be met.
Scouts reactivating too late to complete time-oriented
requirements will not be granted extensions, nor will
those who remained active but simply did not focus
on advancement.
The council advancement committee's role is to collect
and evaluate evidence, recommend action to the
Scout, and if requested, provide the evidence with a
position statement to the national Advancement Team.
Throughout the process, it must be remembered that
time is of the essence.

Collections » European Art: 14th-16th Centuries » Tapestries in the Norton Simon Museum
Tapestries in the Norton Simon Museum
The art of tapestry — an ornamental textile woven of wool and silk threads that often tells a story — flourished in Europe from the 15th through the 18th centuries. Often called "the frescoes of the North," tapestries were synonymous with the brilliant costumes, courtly occupations and spiritual character of the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance. Flemish, and later French, weavers excelled in creating imaginative and sumptuous pictorial designs. The Norton Simon Museum is home to eight spectacular examples, from the 15th through 17th centuries. Their subject matter includes episodes from ancient myth and history, as well as religious imagery, all of which were popular subjects in this medium.
The story of the Trojan War, beloved by medieval writers, provided rich source material for this art form. The adventures pertaining to Paris and Helen from this famous epic tale inspired the design of three of the museum's tapestries. Woven in Tournai, a small town in southern Belgium notable for its tapestry production, the suite likely included additional scenes that may have been displayed together as one continuous, decorative ensemble.
A fourth tapestry, woven in Brussels around 1510, depicts the "Justice of the Emperor Trajan." It measures 10 by 12 feet. Given its size and its theme that addresses the importance of dispensing justice, a necessary quality for political leadership, it is possible that this tapestry once hung in an official room of a court or palace. All the best qualities of medieval tapestry are presented here, from the lush pictorial details defined by a palette of blues, reds and yellows, to the continuous narrative of events that can be followed as the eyes move from left to right, top to bottom.
The latest tapestry, and the sole 17th-century work in the collection, depicts the death of Dido, a beautiful and melodramatic scene of love and loss drawn from Virgil's epic poem, "The Aeneid." Remarkably, Mr. Simon also acquired the set of six cartoons designed by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Romanelli (1610–1662) and on which the tapestry suite was based. Significant works of art in their own right, the cartoons represent the second of three phases in tapestry production: The first stage involves a smaller, simpler design. The second stage establishes the formal elements and details copied to full-scale. The actual weaving of the tapestry, with the large cartoons hung behind or underneath the loom, constitutes the final stage.
Tapestries were considerably more expensive than paintings, and certainly the materials used — silk threads, some wrapped with thin sheets of beaten gold and silver, and wool — increased their value. The materials, along with the labor and artistry, combined to make these objects highly appealing to the wealthy and discerning collector. Their visual splendor was matched by practical advantages; since they were pliable, they could be rolled and, therefore, easily transported.

"The Bachelorette" Episode 4 Recap
Well, I think we all had the tissues out during last night's episode of The Bachelorette. Manny and Jan might be everyone's new fave couple AKA COY (Couple of the Year). I instantly fell in love with both of them and I hope that everyone plans to donate a little something to the Red Cross (Hurricane Sandy) after last night.
Des and Brad's date was a little awkward and I am putting that nicely. He is a great guy, he seems super sweet but boy is he a snore fest. They had ZERO conversation and no spark. I mean Des is fun but she's not like super, super fun so combine her with a boring guy and you get the most boring date in Bachelorette history. Maybe that's being harsh but if y'all were watching last night, I'm sure you were cringing like me! At certain moments, especially at dinner, I held the pillow in front of my face and just yelled at the TV, "Brad, say something, ANYTHING." I think Des made the right decision to not give him the rose. For a second I thought she might be nice and just give it to him (the story of the season) but she needs to narrow these guys down and really dig deep and find out exactly what she wants from each of them.
The Mr. Bachelorette was hilarious. The guys had a lot of fun with the beauty competition and we are really starting to see each of their personalities come out (um, and ABS). Did you all catch a glimpse of Drew's body? One word-speechless. Brooks has a good sense of humor and Kacey (hash tag guy rocked it in the talent portion), Zak is a good guitar player slash good singer surprisingly, Mikey is way too over confident and a little cross eyed and Chris can rock it in heels! Kacey ended up winning the crown and it was very well deserved.
Later that night a lot of the guys got some quality one on one time with Des. Chris, in particular, shared a moment with Des. I like him more and more and I think Des does too. He is just super sweet and down to earth (and so cute obviously). Ben is still everyone's main target and I don't think that he needs to be. Like, OMG, get over it people! We are starting to see more and more of Zak W. and he's just OK to me. He doesn't stand out but I think Des is really starting to feel a connection with him and that's why he got the group date rose. I was a little surprised that she decided to give it to him BUT he can play the guitar and he can sing so I guess it's justified why he got the rose (a guy who can play the guitar is just plain sexy and all that more appealing).
James is a meathead but he does in some ways seem like a softy. I was excited to see what his personality was like and to see if Des and him had an actual connection. Their date was very sentimental and we really got to see the damage of Hurricane Sandy (so sad and touching). I think for Des and James this was something that each of them will never forget. They also got to meet a couple that lost everything from the storm. Manny and Jan were so humble and sweet and I loved that they were still so in love with one another and still optimistic about life. Their house was completely destroyed and it was devastating to see.
Des and James decided to give Manny and Jan their date (a private dinner and concert). Manny and Jan were extremely thankful and you could feel how happy it made them! James admitted to Des that he cheated on his college girlfriend and that definitely made Des upset and put a little bit of a damper on their date. But I think she appreciated his honesty and she does feel a bond with James. I am glad that she gave him the rose but I do believe that if you've cheated before, you may again. So Des needs to be careful with this one!
Michael G. stood out at the cocktail party. He spelled Des's name out and gave a description about her using each letter (how sweet is that). I was impressed by that but he is still a drama king and instigates problems. Bryden is way too intense for Des and in my opinion if he has any doubts about her feelings or his feelings, then he should leave. I kind of liked him in the beginning but now I'm not so sure. So on that note, I don't think that he will be lasting very long.
Des ended up sending Zach home at the rose ceremony, which was clearly the right choice. But quick question-what is up with the guys this season and having emotional breakdowns? Like, hold it together! Poor Zach did shed some tears, not as much as Crazy Brandon, but he still had a "limo" moment. Poor guy, we wish you the best Zach!
We are down to NINE studs! And the next stop in this journey is Munich. Make sure to tune in next Monday night for a brand new episode of The Bachelorette! Who will Des grow closer to in Europe and who will she send packing? Can't wait for next week!

For Immediate Release
December 11, 2012
Two Illinois schools to be recognized as National Distinguished Schools
Irving Elementary in Berwyn South School District 100 and Sheridan Elementary Math and Science Academy in Chicago District 299 recognized for academic success
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education today announced that it has chosen two Illinois schools with high percentages of children in poverty to be honored next month for academic success. Irving Elementary in Berwyn South School District 100 and Sheridan Elementary Math and Science Elementary in City of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) District 299, will be among schools across the nation honored during a January annual conference of the National Title I Association focused on serving students in poverty.
"We're proud to have recommended these two schools for overcoming the challenges related to teaching children in poverty," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "But the teachers, administrators and families of these two schools deserve all the credit for working together to achieve academic gains."
The National Title I Association, established to help improve and implement programs under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Act (ESEA), recognizes up to 2 schools per state as National Title I Distinguished Schools. Title I is the largest federally-funded pre-college education program, providing funding to school districts that serve students from lowincome families.
Each state may select one qualifying school in each of the following two categories:
- A school that has exceeded its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two or more years. Such schools must also have a student population in which 65 percent of students are poor, demonstrate high academic achievement for four years and show growth in all subgroups; students with disabilities, students classified as Limited English Proficient (LEP), low-income and minority students.
- A school that has significantly closed the achievement gap between students. Such schools must also meet the above criteria and reduce the achievement gap between racial/ethnic groups and White, Asian peers as well as the gap between low-income and non-low-income students.
At Sheridan Elementary Math and Science Academy, more than 68 percent of students are classified as low income and ISAT scores have risen from 91.7 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards in 2009 to 94.1 percent meeting and exceeding in 2012. The ISATs are routinely administered each spring.
Irving Elementary in the Berwyn South School District has seen the ISAT composite score increase by 8.7 percentage points, growing from 77.8 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards in 2009 to 86.5 in 2012. This school has closed the achievement gap by 5.3 percentage points in reading and 1.7 percentage points in math since 2009. Additionally, the achievement gap has also narrowed between low-income and non-low income students by 17.6 percentage points in reading and 3.8 percentage points in math since 2009.
Both schools have been invited to be recognized during the Association's annual conference, to be held in Nashville, TN, in January 2013. The State Board of Education will cover travel expenses for up to four people to represent each school and attend the conference.
"Celebrating these two Illinois' schools success on a national platform is an extraordinary opportunity and experience," said State Board of Education Chairman Gery J. Chico. "As Illinois strives to be a national change agent, this sets the stage for our schools to share their success at helping every child succeed, and achieve at high levels."

Check your healthcare savvy. Print the checklist [7] below and fill it out.
|Do you know how to request your medical records?
|Do you have a personal copy of your medical records?
|Do you plan what you want to talk about before your appointment?
|Do you have a list of all the medications and supplements you are taking?
|Do you tell your provider all the medications, supplements, and treatments you are taking/using?
|Do you make sure you understand what the provider is telling you and what you need to do next?
If you don't do some of these tasks, use the forms and checklists in this section to help you get started. It doesn't take much time to get organized and take charge!
American Medical Association. American Medical Association Guide to Talking to Your Doctor. John Wiley and Sons, NY. 2001.
Parker-Pope, T. Wall Street Journal. 2005. Published in the Minneapolis Star & Tribune:
Medline Plus [8] offers a number of articles, including Getting the Most Out of Your A Visit to Your Doctor and Tips for Talking to Healthcare Professionals. There are a number of resources for specific health situations, such as cancer and heart disease.
The Harvard Medical School [9] offers lists of questions to ask for specific situations.
The National Institute on Aging [10] suggests ways to discuss health concerns, medicines, and issues important to older people.
The Center for Advancing Health offers a resource guide for Becoming a Prepared Patient [11].
Your provider's ability to determine what is wrong and how to treat it depends almost entirely on communication.
From scheduling an appointment to wrapping up your visit, effective communication will help ensure that you get what you need. Here are a few communication tips:
The communication during this step is crucial. When making an appointment with your physician, nurse practitioner, or integrative provider, explain the reason for the appointment, so the receptionist knows how much time you'll need. Be as clear as possible but remember that you don't need to give a full health history or disclose any private information.
Here are some good examples:
Feel unsure about whether or not you actually need to see a healthcare provider? Then speak to a nurse or to someone who can help evaluate your concern and determine when you should schedule an appointment.
In other words, ask for what you need on the front end, and your time with your provider will be more useful.
If you are seeing a new provider, bring a copy of your healthcare records and the results of any previous tests or procedures. Remember to keep copies of these records for yourself, just in case you are asked to leave the documents you bring to your appointment.
It is important to remember that your healthcare records belong to you. You have a right to your own medical information and may request this from any provider or hospital.
This is particularly helpful when people are seeing multiple providers for complex health issues. Consider putting together a notebook or filing system to maintain all of your records in an orderly fashion.
Even better, create an online personal health record. Learn more in Create a Personal Health Record [13].
It is also crucial to regularly review all of the information in your provider and insurance company records to make sure it is accurate. Here are some simple things you can do to verify the accuracy of the records:
Click here for forms to keep track of tests [14] and request your medical records [15].
Since the average doctor's appointment is about fifteen minutes, it is helpful to prepare for your visit. Write a list of your concerns and use it to jog your memory. Include the following information.
Preparing for Your Appointment Form (Print [16])
It is important to have the chance to discuss your health while you are comfortable in your street clothes (prior to disrobing and having an examination).
Even if you feel worried, anxious, or embarrassed about your health concern, don't wait until the end of the visit to bring up your real reason for the appointment or the provider won't have time to deal with it.
For example, a woman went in to the doctor for treatment of cold symptoms, but during the last two minutes of the appointment informed the doctor that she was going through a painful divorce, was highly anxious, and couldn't sleep. This was the real reason that she wanted to see the doctor, but since she didn't bring it up until the end of the visit there wasn't enough time for the doctor to explore the issue with her.
Remember, your provider is legally bound to confidentiality and privacy. And most likely, s/he has "seen it all," and won't be surprised by any of your story.
Using acupuncture [17] for pain management? Tell your physical therapist. Thinking about trying valerian to help your insomnia? Share this with your general practitioner.
Healthcare practitioners can often tell you how your therapies might complement one another, or offer you vital information about how certain treatment combinations might be less healthy or even dangerous.
Whatever treatment you're using or planning to try, whether it's integrative or conventional, always let everyone involved with your health care know about everyone and everything you are accessing to address your needs.
Whether you bring someone with you to your appointment is up to you. For a routine visit, it may not be necessary to bring a friend or family member with you.
On the other hand, if you are feeling anxious or concerned, have a language barrier, are facing a challenging diagnosis, or anticipate discussing treatment options, it may be helpful to have someone with you. Choose someone who is a good listener and who won't interrupt, dominate the visit or ask too many of their own questions.
The person who accompanies you on your visit can be another set of ears. This will help you remember after the appointment what was said. It is often helpful to have this person write information down so that you have a written record of what was discussed or done.
Even with routine examinations or check-ups, be sure you understand the results before you leave.
Results of the Appointment Form (Print [18])
If you have been given a prescription or other type of medication, know the following.
Medication Questions Form (Print [19])
Sometimes a visit to your healthcare provider turns out to be anything but routine. If you are diagnosed with a serious disorder, emotions like confusion and fear might make communicating with your physician even tougher.
The following checklists, based on the work of Tara Parker-Pope, offers basic inquiries you should make if you receive some difficult health news.
Need for Surgery Checklist (Print [20])
In order to better assess surgery-related risk, you should ask the following questions. The first question is for your primary care provider, the rest are for surgeons you are considering.
Cancer Diagnosis Checklist (Print [21])
If you have received a cancer diagnosis, it is important to ask your doctor the following questions (and ask the same questions when seeking a second opinion):
Heart Attack Risk Checklist (Print [22])
In order to better assess your heart-attack risk, you should ask the following questions:
Be smart about your healthcare appointments. Bring the information your provider will need to the appointment, including healthcare records if necessary. Address the key issues early in the visit and be prepared to explain the symptoms clearly. Don't leave until you understand what the provider tells you and what you need to do next.

macros and hygiene, resumed
The Friday entry demonstrates how to break hygiene for a macro that defines a generator. Ryan Culpepper, the local macrologist, reminded me that expanding into this macro goes wrong in the syntax-case world:
Run this in Pretty Big [DrScheme] and you get a strange note concerning MrEd's yield or run it in MzScheme [Textual] and you get an error message about 'yield' being unbound. What gives? The 'stx' of
(define-syntax define-that-expands-into-define/y (syntax-rules () ((_ (name arg ...) body ...) (define/y (name arg ...) body ...)))) (define-that-expands-into-define/y (bar) (yield 1) (yield 2) 'finished)
datum->syntax-object is the syntactic context of the new macro but it doesn't bind yield; it just uses it. So the definition of
yield in
define/y must be a different one according to the hygiene standards. Ergo yield is free at the top-leve [MzScheme] or bound to the yield import from MrEd [Pretty Big].
;; ---
How can we try to fix this? The explanation suggests we use a different macro definition for
define/y, one that uses a context that is guaranteed from the body of an instance of
Run it. You will find that it works as expected. Tomorrow, time permitting, I will tell you what's wrong with it and how you can fix it.
(require (lib "control.ss")) (define-syntax (define/y stx) (syntax-case stx () [(_ (name arg ...) body0 body ...) (with-syntax ((yield-name (datum->syntax-object (syntax body0) 'yield))) (syntax (define (name arg ...) (define (yield-name x) (control resume-here (set! name (lambda () (prompt (resume-here 'dummy)))) x)) (prompt body0 body ...))))])) (define-syntax define-that-expands-into-define/y (syntax-rules () ((_ (name arg ...) body ...) (define/y (name arg ...) body ...)))) ;; --- try it out --- (define-that-expands-into-define/y (bar) (yield 1) (yield 2) 'finished) (list (bar) (bar) (bar) (bar))

I will take any advice anyone has to offer. I breastfed 2 previous children for a total of 4 years, and never had a problem... But my newborn (now 7 weeks) started daycare this week as I had to go back to work. The problem is that I am not pumping nearly as much milk as he is drinking during the day.
I am using a medela pump in style, pumping both sides at once... I am pumping at 10, feeding him at 12, and pumping at 2 and 4. On Monday I did ok I got 4-5 oz at 10, and another 4-5 oz between the 2 afternoon sessions which matched what he ate at daycare, but yesterday and today despite following the same schedule I have only been able to pump 5 oz total for the day - and he has been taking 15 oz by bottle during the day in addition to my feeding him at 12.
At this point he has completely depleted the 'extra' milk I had stored up in preparation for returning to work and unless I can come up with 10 oz of breast milk between now and noon tomorrow he is going to wind up having to take formula tomorrow afternoon.
I saw that someone had posted a link to a video on the sticky topic ... But unfortunately I cannot view the video on my apple because it does not support flash.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate your help!

Man charged with DUI 3October 03,2013Local man faces
third DUI charge
WINHALL Police said a Danby man with two prior charges of drunken driving had a blood-alcohol content three times the legal limit when he was pulled over on Route 30.
George L. Savage Jr., 49, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of drunken driving, third offense, as well as a misdemeanor charge of driving with a suspended license.
Police said they stopped Savage on Route 30 in Winhall for speeding and crossing the double line Saturday night. Police said Savage was slurring his words, slow to respond to questions and had a cold, half-full beer in his cup holder.
Police said a breath test showed Savage had blood-alcohol content of .245, more than three times the legal limit of .08 for driving.
Savage was held in Rutland hail on $2,500 bail until his arraignment Monday. He is now free without bail, but must check in daily with Manchester police for alcohol testing.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

Obesity and Ovarian Cancer
By Health Day
A new analysis suggests that carrying excess weight boosts the risk for developing ovarian cancer.
The conclusion which follows a review of 25 previous studies is outlined in a new report issued by the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund. Collectively, investigators poured through data concerning approximately 4 million women. Among this group, nearly 16,000 ultimately developed ovarian cancer the 5th leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. By stacking weight histories up against disease incidence, the experts determined that ovarian cancer risk goes up by 6% for ever 5-point rise in body mass index a key measure of weight status.
The finding now adds ovarian cancer to a list of other cancers linked to excess body fat- including colorectal, kidney, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer.
And with that in mind, the experts suggest that 20% of these cancers including ovarian cancer may actually be prevented if Americans simply shed excess pounds and maintained a healthy body weight.

I went to Beijing this summer in order to conduct an anthropological study on low-wage workers in urban China, most of whom are migrants from other areas of the country. My research method involved getting to know my coworkers by working along-side them; first, being a dishwasher, and then as a waiter at a Chinese restaurant.
In my one-month tenure, I found that the problems these migrant workers encounter vary widely depending on their background. Furthermore, while this poorer class of young people face many challenges unique to China, in some ways they are not very different from their American peers.

Graco is recalling 1.9 million infant car seats in what is now the largest seat recall in U.S. history, officials told The Associated Press.
Earlier this year, the company recalled 4.2 million toddler seats because of a problem with the harness buckles getting stuck, the AP reported. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had also demanded the infant seats be recalled, the AP said.
The AP reported that the agency had sent a letter to the company asking why the other seats weren't recalled.
Food and drinks can gum up the buckles. In some cases, parents had to cut the harnesses to get their children out.
For more information on the recall and to find out whether it affects a seat you own, go to https://secure.gracobucklerecall.com/recall2014.
