The election is next Tuesday, November 4th, and the importance of paying
close attention to who is asking for your vote cannot be understated.
By Daisy Hutzell Rodman
In early January 2006 I dropped by the desk of my friend and editor Howard K. Marcus as he shoved on his jacket. "I'm late for a meeting at the Press Club!" he exclaimed.
"You belong to the Omaha Press Club?" I asked. "I've wanted to join for years."
This was true. In late fall 1998, Wade and I sat in bar chatting with the people around us.
"Where do you work?" I asked someone.
Since I was a child I've always liked garage sales.
I can't really explain why, other than I really like a good deal and I'm a bit of a snoop.
Let me explain that last part.
Rummaging through other's peoples garage sale items – those old rollers skates, that cat print sweatshirt, a ThighMaster caked in dust – is a bit like being a detective sifting through evidence. It's a glimpse into the psyche of a person. You can tell a lot about a person by what they sell and how much they sell it for.
Joe, I enjoyed your editorial "Abortion shouldn't be only Pro-life Cause" (Joe Foreman column Feb. 13) and I'm going to prove your point by focusing on just one thing.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second. The Catholic Church is blaming the 1960s for its child molestation scandals?
A five-year study released by John Jay College of Criminal Justice seems to suggest as much.
The study was undertaken at the request and with the financial support of America's Roman Catholic bishops. The report links the spike in child abuse by priests in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s to, the study says, "the importance given to young people and popular culture."
I guess it was nice to learn that I wasn't being singled out or picked on.
Judging by some e-mails I've received in the past week, I wasn't the only Glenwood resident slapped with a sizeable rate hike on my water and sewer bill this month from the Glenwood Municipal Utilities.
I didn't know Edward Scissorhands was from Council Bluffs.
Apparently, he is. Why else would Council Bluffs let the Iowa West Foundation spend $3 million to erect a four-piece monument in Edward's honor on the corners of the 24th Street bridge over Interstate 80.
The sculptures, in the process of being installed this month, stand as tall as 60 feet high in some places.

February 17, 1999
Release # 99-063
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Cosco Inc., of Columbus, Ind., is recalling about 62,000 mattresses sold with tubular metal cribs. When a baby stands up in the crib, the mattress can compress and be pushed between the bars on the crib's platform. The baby can slip between the bars on the crib's platform and become entrapped.Cosco has received 12 complaints of mattresses compressing and entrapping babies. An 11-month old baby boy died after becoming entrapped.Cosco is offering consumers a $25 check for consumers to purchase a new mattress on their own.The mattresses were sold with Cosco model "M" tubular metal cribs, manufactured from July 1994 through September 1997. The "M" is the third character in the model number. The model number and manufacturing date are stamped on a label on the bottom of the crib's end panel. The cribs come in a variety of colors, including red, white, mixed primary and mixed pastels. "Cosco" is written on the crib's label and on the mattress' tag. The date of delivery also is written on the mattress' tag. Mass merchandise and juvenile products stores nationwide sold these cribs and mattresses for up to $150.Consumers should immediately stop using the crib or place a board, measuring 51 5/8 inches long by 27 1/4 inches wide, between the crib's mattress and platform. Consumers should contact Cosco at (800) 221-6736 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST Monday through Friday or at www.coscoinc.com to participate in this recall. Cosco will help consumers identify whether their cribs are involved in this recall. Once they get the new mattress, they should destroy the old mattress by cutting it into at least three pieces.Cosco model "M" cribs manufactured after September 1997 have a different mattress and model "T" cribs are sold without mattresses. Neither of these cribs are involved in this recall.

Bee County grand jurors returned first degree felony indictments on Rene Cantu and Javier Hernandez when they met on Nov. 29. The two men have been charged with a burglary and assault that took place on Nov. 14, 2011.
According to investigating officer Art Gamez of the Beeville Police Department, the two men entered a home last year without consent and then used a deadly weapon, a firearm, to assault a man inside the residence.
The two were charged with burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit assault. The first degree felony is punishable by a prison term of 99 years to life and a $10,000 fine. Bonds were set on both suspects at $100,000 by District Judge Joel Johnson.
Another defendant also faces a possible life sentence if he is convicted of delivery of a controlled substance. According to a state investigator, Frank Ochoa delivered between four and 200 grams of cocaine to someone on Dec. 1, 2011. Judge Johnson also set bond on that defendant at $100,000.
Others indicted on Nov. 29 included:
•Francisco Ochoa Jr., named in a four-count indictment on charges of delivery of a controlled substance. One of the counts is a first degree felony stemming from an alleged sale of between four and 200 grams of cocaine on Dec. 1, 2011. Two of the charges are second degree felonies involving the sale of less than four grams of the drug on Nov. 15, 2011, and on June 19, 2012.
If convicted of the second degree felony charges, Ochoa could be sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $10,000. The other charge is for the alleged sale of less than one ounce of cocaine on May 30. That offense is a state jail felony. A conviction on that charge could result in a sentence of two years in a state jail facility and a $10,000 fine. State investigators made the allegations. Ochoa's bond was set at a total of $300,000.
•Jeremy Ray Ochoa on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance, between four and 200 grams. The offense is a second degree felony. State investigators alleged that the defendant sold the drug on Nov. 11, 2011. Bond was $25,000.
•Jesse Cantu on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony. According to BPD officer Greg Baron, Cantu threatened a man with a knife during an incident on Nov. 24, 2011. Bond was $21,000.
•David Richard Lucio Jr. on a charge of failure to comply with sex offender requirements. The charge was enhanced to a second degree felony. According to Sgt. Rene Guerrero of the BPD, Lucio failed to comply with sex offender registration requirements by Aug. 2, after changing his address. The defendant had a conviction on a charge of indecency with a child, contact. The enhancement was based on a previous conviction on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender in Victoria County. Bond was $10,000.
•Pedro Niklas Arredondo on a charge of failure to comply with sex offender requirements. The charge was enhanced to a second degree felony because Arredondo had a previous felony conviction. Guerrero alleged that the defendant failed to report a change of address by Aug. 2 of this year after being convicted of sexual battery by one in familial authority. The charge was enhanced, because Arredondo had a previous felony conviction on a charge of failure to register as a sex offender on Oct. 2, 2007, in Bee County. Bond was $5,000.
•Eliseo Garcia Flores on a charge of credit card abuse, enhanced to a second degree felony. According to investigators, the defendant used a fuel credit card belonging to someone else without consent. The charge was enhanced, because Flores had previous felony convictions on a charge of burglary on Nov. 19, 1983, and on a charge of robbery, causing bodily injury on Nov. 19, 1990. Both convictions were in Tarrant County. Bond was $5,000.
•Victor Robledo on two counts of failure to register as a sex offender. Both charges were enhanced to third degree felonies. If convicted, Robledo could face a 10-year prison sentence and a fine of $10,000. According to the indictment, the defendant failed to register after being convicted of aggravated sexual assault charges on Aug. 3, 2010, in Bee County. The enhancement of the charge was based on a previous felony conviction on a charge of failure to register as a sex offender on March 30, 2012, in San Patricio County. Bond was $50,000.
•Rodolfo Diaz on a charge of driving while intoxicated, third or more. The charge is a third degree felony. The defendant was arrested by a Highway Patrol trooper on the charge on Sept. 19, 2011. He had previous DWI convictions on Feb. 13, 1991, and on March 26, 2009, both in Bee County. Bond was $5,000.

Madrid Fashion Week, formerly known as Pasarela Cibeles, is the meeting point of fashion where we update what's going on the next season. Here the best fashion designers show their creations. Juanjo Oliva, Aghata Ruiz de la Prada, Duyos, Hannibal Laguna, Amaya Arzuaga, Roberto Torreta, Antonio Alvarado, Ángel Schlesser or Miguel Palacio have really good models. Glamour and design are the keys that define Madrid Fashion Week.
Fashion shows always are strictly punctual, and for this reason I like grabbing my seat a few minutes before the start and watch the guest's dresses and the front row, where some celebrity always use to be. The staunch spanish fashion designers don't doubt investing some of their time to acclaim the new season collections. Oh, wait! … Stir between photographers, tv cameras and social programmes journalists: It's someone famous!!!
After the show, we're going to the Kissing Room, the meeting point where the proposals are commented and the designer is congratulated. A place to see and to be seen. A place where you can drink a cocktail while waiting for the next show.
But, as in every edition, we don't focus only in the models shown on the stage, but on the street-style, one of the best attractions of Cibeles. Fashion editors, stylists, models and guests of all kind show their best to surprise. Fashion creates trends, and trends create fashion, that's true, but everyone decides how to use this trends. Some of the best places to see how fashion goes out to the streets are, without any doubt, the big fashion shows.
Guests dress to the lastest fashion with their best tight jeans, their typical peep toes and the highest platform shoes. Also some girls wear naif mini-dresses or casual style. Some of them choose XXL handbags, others choose wallets, but they're all divine. It is "The Other Show", the real adaptation from trends to the street.

Into the sunset
June 19, 2013 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — The fields, track and golf greens are quiet now, but the memories of this spring's sports heroics and the accolades and awards merited by such were the focus of the Sullivan West spring sports awards on June 17. In addition, the meritorious performance of seniors elicited its own words of praise and a series of special awards.
After welcoming words from high school principal Scott Haberli, athletic director Dave Franskevicz lauded the boys track team for its NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete status predicated on 21 athletes who helped meet the standard, far more than the 12 normally required. Reed Scott and Hannah Feinman were Section IX Scholar Athletes. Franskevicz introduced the coaches who offered words of praise summing up their teams' seasons before presenting their awards. Details of individual accomplishments can be found in a forthcoming blog on www.sportsinsights.ny.com.
Award winners were as follows: softball (Coach Mike Ellmauer) Katie Slater Most Valuable Infielder, Marianne Durkin Most Valuable Outfielder; baseball (Coach Jim O'Connor): Sawyer Erlwein Coaches Award, Brad Hemmer Rookie of the Year; girls golf (Coach Patrick Donovan): Nour Goodfriend Most Improved Golfer, Daphne Muzuruk Most Valuable Golfer; boys golf (Coach Bob Fife): Ryan Graham Most Improved Golfer, Drew Billard Most Valuable Golfer; boys track and field (Coach Ron Bauer): Reed Scott Most Valuable Track Athlete, Mitch Paciga Most Valuable Field Athlete; girls track and field (Coach Joe Seidl): Courtney Meyerer Most Valuable Track Athlete, Hannah Feinman Most Valuable Field Athlete.
Next on the program was the announcement of the coveted senior awards. The recipients of this year's Coaches Awards were Hannah Feinman and Drew Billard. The Milt Gaebel Award Winners were Dani Myers and Reed Scott. Candidates for this year's Most Valuable Senior Male Athletes, also known as the Select Seniors, were Jonah Bauer, Tyler Bernitt, Drew Billard, Matthew Cardona, Sawyer Erlwein, Eric Haberli, Brad Hemmer, Adam Murphy, Blain Reddish, Reed Scott, Andrew Siegel and Gregory Stevenson. The 2013 Most Valuable Senior Male Athlete was Sawyer Erlwein. Female Select Seniors were: Hannah Feinman, Olivia Grady, Dani Myers, Cassidy Sauer, Kaitlin Slater and Kaitlyn Taylor. The 2013 Most Valuable Senior Female Athlete was Cassidy Sauer.

Coaches steer students toward diplomas
ONA (AP) – To know the impact graduation coaches are having at Cabell Midland and Huntington high schools, one only has to look at a Christmas card Becky Runion received.
Inside, the student wrote Runion had "given her hope to finish school." Graduation coaches were part of the county's extensive high school Innovation Zone plan written a few years ago.
The plans were approved and money provided to fund the positions for two years from the West Virginia Department of Education. But administrators requested the positions be written into the Cabell County Schools budget because of the results they were seeing.
The positions weren't exactly spelled out, except that they were meant to help students who were at risk of dropping out. For Runion, who is a licensed school counselor, that has meant becoming a big sister and friend.
"You build relationships with kids and be someone they can come to every single day," she said. "They know someone is there for them."
Students are referred to the graduation coaches by attendance officers, teachers and the administration. Runion said she helps students who are taking classes through the credit recovery program and often will assist in gathering information needed to apply for college or for GED services.
Last fall, both she and Steven Freeman at Huntington High, who recently left to take a position in Kanawha County, received Community In Schools site coordinator training from the national office. They were provided with additional resources to help them document services provided and better identify obstacles to a student graduating.
But, Freeman says, that meant developing strategies to fit the student populations they were serving.
"We did two different things … Huntington High School is much different than Cabell Midland because of a higher at-risk population," Freeman said. "I had to deal with a lot more big project things to affect more kids." He said he had to connect with community groups and outside providers because he alone couldn't service 500 or more students. But that cooperation, he added, led to a decline in the number of dropouts.
While central office personnel said the graduation coaches are only a piece of the efforts that have been undertaken, they have and continue to play a contributing factor in keeping students in school.
In 2009-2010, the year before graduation coaches were put in place, Cabell County's dropout numbers hit more than 200 for the fifth time in 10 school years. But that has dropped considerably in the years since. In 2010-2011, 128 students dropped out, and last school year the number declined to 95.
Runion and Freeman said some of the biggest accomplishments they've had has been with changing mindsets, which Freeman described as a focus on the upper-level students rather than those who were underperforming.
"(The county) took the initiative to say a kid who drops out of school affects everyone," he said.
Freeman said it was hard to leave his job as a coach, but another opportunity opened up that he couldn't pass. But he said he feels confident that strides were made. In fact, he said there is evidence that students who were helped are now becoming spokespersons for staying in school.
"I had a kid who said they were just going to drop out," Freeman said. "A girl who I pleaded with who dropped out and then came back, looked at the other girl and said (dropping out) was the worst decision she had made in her life."
Runion also is taking a different position next year as an elementary counselor in Cabell County. She said her three years as a graduation coach have given her insight into the warning signs to look for in elementary students.
Justin Hatfield and Kodi Killin are two Cabell Midland students taking classes through the recovery program. They said Runion has been a great help and an encouragement.
"She has really meant a lot, always there to help me," Killin said. "I struggled a lot, but I got a lot further than I thought I was going to be."

TV stolen to buy crack in Monticello
September 13, 2013 —
On Thursday September 12, 2013 at approximately 4:55 PM, Corporal Blake Starner of the Sullivan County Sheriff's Patrol was returning to his station via Broadway in Monticello, when he saw a suspicious male subject with a flat screen TV walking in the rain in front of Kristt Company.
When the Corporal approached, the man threw the TV and took off on foot. Starner called for backup and chased the subject to the rear parking lot of the Nugget Tavern. Sgt Riegler of the Monticello Police Department responded to the scene and helped Starner subdue the subject.
A subsequent investigation by the Sheriff's Office and Monticello Police revealed that the suspect had entered a residence at 47 Hammond Street in the Village and stole the TV. The suspect, Michael Engelmann, 26 of Monticello, later admitted to police that he intended to sell the TV for crack cocaine.
Englemann was charged with burglary, petit larceny, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. He was arraigned before Judge Martin Miller and sent to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $30,000 bail. Englemann is due back in Monticello Court on Friday September 13, 2103 at 10:00 AM.

Ask Chris #175: The Great Santa Fight
Q: Can Santa Claus beat Superman in a fight? Can he beat Batman? --@byharryconnolly
A: You, Harry, have been affected by the cynicism of a cynical age. Any schoolchild could tell you that Santa Claus would never fight Superman or Batman, because they are all on the same side. Then again, I suppose that's why you didn't ask a schoolchild and instead went straight to someone who specializes in providing needlessly elaborate answers to yes-or-no questions about fictional vigilantes.
So today, on this wintry Christmas Week Eve, I'm going to take up the spirit of the holiday and give you the answer you asked for. The short version? Yes. Santa Claus could beat those dudes like government reindeer. It wouldn't even be close.

I love this card and all your others as well. I wish I could afford to purchase every set you sell. They are stunning. The only complaint I have is that I was unable to read some of the smaller writing inside SOME of the cards when I pulled them up on line. Perhaps it was a setting on my computer I don't know how to adjust, but I only had that problem with a few of your cards. I won't purchase something if I can't read what is written on it. I did get this one and was very pleased.

2013/01/04 Minutes Economics Working Group
Fred Harrison
40 years advocating LVT to no avail – futile; examined all the social issues globally – will not be solved until the land/rent issue is addressed; establish strategy for action not focused on symptoms but root causes. Language (LVT) was working against the cause; need to rethink methodology of social change; changes to eradicate pathologies which cause disruption; occupy (global) is the single hopeful initiative to effect change today although there are problems within occupy. LVT is no longer acceptable language; right of the public to collect the rents of land; by resocialising the rents we eliminate the tax on wages; the current system perpetuates poverty, housing shortages etc. No need to tax wages; effecting structural change without violence; but there is no way to negotiate change in the way revenues are collected and there is the prospect of violence; throughout history rulers have accepted revolution and war rather than concede to the change (to socialise rents); people in power will not negotiate on rents from the commons derived from nature and society; they add value to the way of life expressed in terms of economic rent; assigned to contributions from nature and society; privatisation of the rents is the root cause of social ills; occupy could become a "has been" rather than achieve change like many movements before if it continues to fail to address the root cause; danger of addressing symptoms not root cause; power is vested with the beneficiaries of the current rental system; not discussed in economics teaching (only in agriculture is it discussed and only superficially); need remoulding the language of economics; the notion of sharing the bounty of the land has been exorcised from the debate; housing problem expressed as an issue of bricks and mortar not land; progressive movements fail because we won't talk about land and rents; doctrines are developed instead as coping mechanisms; after the enclosures, there was an initial fight back but the people lost; how do you cope with the detachment from land/ we develop coping mechanisms – dogmas: capitalism, socialism etc.; revolution will give us communism – in 20th century which failed; other coping mechanisms – religious etc. – none of them deal with the issue of land; they don't confront the power structure; Karl Marx made fleeting reference to the exploitation of capitalists by the landlords; in the communist manifesto "socialise land ownership" but has been obscured by the emphasis on socialising the means of production; Occupy came from nowhere; no status or positions of power that attract NGOs etc. which offer palliatives rather than cures; occupy not beholden to anyone; registered disaffection felt by everyone; first slogan 1% against the 99% ,we are the 99% etc. was unhelpful – lost cause; rent seekers laughed all the way to the bank; 65% against the 100% – people drawing the income from the land are destroying themselves; 65% versus the 35% to engage the media to give them something to talk about; journalists "you don't know what the answer is"; the rent seekers were relieved because occupy wasn't pinning them against the wall; popular theme "even middle classes suffered stagnant wages" but a house bought 30 years ago for £50K has multiplied tenfold (£500K); entitled to value of improvements of say £50K but where did the rest come from? Like a car loses value, property is a wasting asset; baby boomers were getting back in rising house prices what they paid in taxes; the more expensive the house the more extraordinary gain; when property is booming their capital gain exceeds a lifetime of tax payments; 65% concealed within the 99%; pocketing a capital gain making it impossible to provide affordable housing; concept of LVT is philosophically and tactically stupid – gift to the enemy; defeating ourselves; reforms of economic social and environmental agenda impossible until we recapture the language; taxing land values repels people – like prodding them with an electric prod. Concept of land value is the prime problem. Land value is the capitalised rent based on the interest; tax indicates that you own the land; you are more a steward owing a duty to the rest of the community; conceding land value loses the moral case; what happened to the argument that the whole of the rental income should be shared for the community? LVT is a gift to the exploiters; Carlos Slim and Bill Gates (the two richest individuals in the world) pocketing rents from the electromagnetic spectrum because absence of doctrine to share the rents Need a new language to communicate the reality – hard work to develop that language; next generation shouldn't waste their life; "100 new property millionaires created every day last year" – Telegraph; hailed as good news but the reality is the reverse; on a mission to help younger campaigners – Martin Adams – Sharing the Earth; establish priorities; LBoI needed to understand the terminology; but unless we can mobilise around the single issue which will automatically create the incentives to effect the changes we desire, harnessing working with nature and society, we will not solve these problems; if we can't do this – I'll go back to fishing.
Discussion (Fred's responses in italics) Sort out our priorities; you are invited; proposition – lots of authors within EWG not self promoting; occupy is an alliance of language and activity; direct action – acknowledgement from BoE director; we lose out in the lobbying game; occupy is not afraid to use the cattle prod – we struggle for wealth for all; heard all the voices but need to get rid of the bullshit; 40 years testing the (LVT) proposition; see if it stands up to the test; agendas will not be fulfilled without addressing this; it's not all about land values – inflation makes money worth less; student grant £3000 pa. years ago was sufficient; male/female issues – half a dozen systems in play – it isn't just rent; you can grow vegetables and survive; themap.org.uk to see what other things are going on; civilisation is a complex organism within which people exploit whatever avenues suit them;rents backing the currency would deal with inflation; you will not get to sort the monetary system without dealing with the rents; it contaminates the rest; put it to the test; but would want to test your propositions too; culture corrupts where the rents used to create civilisation are captured for private gain; its the rents time and again; many have come to occupy saying "I've got the one basic solution"; LVT or whatever one calls it – sympathetic to the idea; what is regressive no-one likes; dangle the alternative; large complex systems; do not accept LVT is a sufficient condition to eradicate tax shelters/ equalise incomes; main gripe about LVT advocates – fuzzy about implementation; former deputy governors of BoE acknowledge a need; how do we get there? Steps to implement; one of many problems – eg. housing is a pressing issue and needs to be addressed; need to solve immediate problems until the structure is changed; valid to talk about solutions to the housing market etc. but we have 150 years of experience trying to solve problems without an enduring solution; 50,000 people in E&W die prematurely because of the lack of a fair system where people live full lives; babies born in Blackpool today die 14 years prematurely compared to in Kensington; analysis tracking back; specify the act of parliament to solve the problems; why is the system unbalanced in spite of all the efforts? – it is becoming more unbalanced; specific implementation – if a government committed to it; Vince Cable at best proposes a mansion tax but say the Lib Dems committed to collecting the rents from land and got sufficient support, transformation begins once – it becomes a viable proposition; no land hoarding no urban sprawl – sensibly it would take c. 5 years; 1 year for legislation, 2 years for valuation, comes in year 4; would like to see a spreadsheet of the plan; rent language LVT; all about language of the tongue; civilisation not complex – simple continuity and expansion of the single human multiplying; needs to be brought back to simple; rent meanings, render; if you give someone something, they are not wanting to give it you back; away from the concept of sharing; LVT over complicated term; life is a gift; rent is being beholden to others; Attended your TCU LVT talk last year; language is the problem; key – how do we get them to give up their power; problem in communication; budgeting problem to show how people will be better off; professor in US crunched the numbers – published – average American would be better in the first year and beyond; need to get the message across; improved productivity; smarter language – find a new conceptual framework; pay for the services you receive – location amenities etc. crystallised in rent; pay to the people providing the services; rigorous language; multi-owners absentee landlords – separate land and property values; landlord in Belize – rents to paid offshore reduced by rents payable to the public purse – reduce what is payable to the landlord; local authorities renting out to council tenants; paying to the council – where's the problem? Occupy doing wrong? – not much the wiser how could LVT could be understood comparing to other system; what counts as land; comparison with land and labour; response to Peter's question; testing of the proposition; invite audience to validate a test; proposition of land value would lead to the resolution of other the issues; prove your claims – Prof Nick Tideman crunched the numbers which are included in the another book, Losses of Nations; understand that if we're really going to change the world this has to be addressed; in a couple of years, welfare state will be written off as a failed experiment; 1910 and 1931 LVT was rejected by the politicians; the rent seekers are the ones to benefit; we are chasing our tails; need to burrow into it to formulate strategies for social change – it's about psychology; broken down into its constituents; tied into economic growth but from environment perspective – need to assess what the environment will sustain; where does value come from? Foreigners buying UK property; capital addressed; practicalities are of concern; people buy properties for flow of services; services need to be paid for; environment – the just price – humans have paid for everything they've taken our of nature with their labour; social universe needs to respect the services we get from nature; we don't pay nature why? – emissions on unconstrained basis because owners of coal seams seek to exploit the value; refuse to pay for clean technology; they created a system for abusing nature; clean ways of dealing with waste would have been developed if the were made to pay plus direct control was exercised through planning system and regulation; retain physical controls; Andy needs more time – we need a workshop on a game of chess – ideas put forward and rebuttal/explanation; what is value per se – occupy is instinctively anti authoritarian – help us understand; you need to live in a squat; value definitions land, labour, currency etc. 1971 Nixon off the gold standard – dollar; 6000 families who own half of England; political contribution – recovered knowledge of Homer Hoyt – business cycle conforms to the real estate; primary driver is not the Duke of Westminster but the homeowners seeking to gain from rising prices.
Discussion was curtailed as we ran out of time. It was agreed that following the next two LVT sessions in January, we needed a workshop to get to grips with the detail of LVT implementation – Fred agreed to participate subject to availability. Thanks to Fred Harrison for an interesting and lively debate.

A report issued last month by the city's Department of Facility Maintenance pinpoints which Honolulu City Council districts have the worst roads on Oahu.
Although East Oahu is known for its upscale neighborhoods and luxury homes, the area has by far the lousiest roads on the island.
"A lot of people do have the misconception that East Honolulu roads are paved better, but they're not," said Councilman Stanley Chang, who represents the area. "We're no better than the island-wide average."
As part of its new Pavement Management System, the city has separated roads into seven categories, while scoring each individual road from zero to 100.
The ratings are as follows: Good (86-100), satisfactory (71-85), fair (56-70), poor (41-55), very poor (26-40), serious (11-25) and failed (0-10).
KITV4 combined the four bottom categories to find out which council districts need the most help with road reconstruction and rehabilitation. District 4 in East Oahu came out on top with 176.77 lane miles.
"There are even a lot of roads that are zeros," said Chang. "The city needs to do a lot more ongoing maintenance, instead of just allowing roads to deteriorate to a zero or failed condition."
The council district rated the second-worst on Oahu according to KITV4's calculations is District 9, which covers areas like Waikele, Mililani Town, and portions of Ewa Villages and Ewa Beach. The district had 147.6 miles rated from poor to failed.
"It's resulted in higher repair costs for residents, and in addition to that, they just look unsightly," said Councilman Ron Menor, who represents District 9. "They clearly need to be resolved and repaired in the future."
In third place for worst roads on the island is council District 3, from Ahuimanu to Waimanalo. The district is represented by Councilman Ikaika Anderson, and has 134.05 miles that are rated poor, very poor, serious or failed.
"Council District 3 in Windward Oahu is the second largest district geographically on the nine-member City Council, and it's also one of the rainiest districts, so there's no surprise there," said Anderson.
However, the area with the most "failed" roads on Oahu is council District 5, which covers Palolo Valley, St. Louis Heights, Manoa, Moiliili, McCully, and portions of Ala Moana, Kakaako, and Makiki. The district has 39.06 miles rated as failed, or 12.13 percent of all roads in the area.
"It is an urban area, so it's greatly used by people all over the island," said Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi, who represents District 5. "We've been complaining about (the roads) for years, and hopefully some of that gets fixed soon."
Last month, Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell pledged to repave or rehabilitate 1,520 miles of city roads over the next five years. The mayor wants the Council to approve $150 million for the effort in fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1.
But as part of the mayor's plan, Caldwell has proposed increasing the city's gas tax from 16.5 cents per gallon, to 21.5 cents per gallon. Chang believes he and his fellow council members can find money in the city budget to fix roads without raising the fuel tax.
"I think we need to be very, very careful before we start talking about additional tax increases," said Chang. "There are a number of other things in the budget that we're going to try to look at and see if there are potential savings."
Chang was instrumental in getting the Pavement Management System started, and through resolution 12-35, he set the goal of eventually having all city streets average a score of 80, while no single road falls below a score of 60. Chang hopes the city can achieve the milestone in 10 to 15 years.
"Because of the large amounts of funding that we've been fighting for in the budget, I think people can all expect better roads coming, if not now, in the next couple of years," said Chang. "By the end of four years, there should be some extreme and noticeable improvement."
Some council members like Menor plan on using the DFM report as ammunition to get road repairs expedited. Menor says some of the worst roads in his district are not slated for repaving under the mayor's five-year plan.
"I'm going to be working with our City Council Budget Committee to have those roads listed and included in the City Council's version of the budget, so that funds can be made available in the future," Menor told KITV4.

My husband and I are expecting our fist child in November through surrogacy. I am unable to have children because I had my ovaries removed at 15 and a hysterectomy at 19. My question is, can I breastfeed? I contacted a lactation specialist and was told that I probably could with the use of medications and pumping for two months before the baby comes. I am all for the pumping but not too keen on the idea of taking medications, one of them being Yasmin.
If I were to just pump, would I be able to produce milk? I have never lactated before.
Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

If you are a manufacturer, importer, distributor, and/or retailer of consumer products, you have a legal obligation to immediately report the following types of information to the CPSC:
Failure to fully and immediately report this information may lead to substantial civil or criminal penalties. CPSC staff's advice is "when in doubt, report."
CPSC has compiled a recall handbook with detailed information. The handbook:
A company must report to the Commission within 24 hours of obtaining reportable information. The Commission encourages companies to report potential substantial product hazards even while their own investigations are continuing. However, if a company is truly uncertain whether information is reportable, the firm may spend a reasonable time investigating the matter.
If a company has actual knowledge that the Commission has been adequately informed of the defect or failure to comply by another responsible party, the company need not submit a report to the Commission. Documentation demonstrating that another party has already reported to CPSC is recommended. Firms may determine this as part of their investigation by contacting other companies in the product's supply chain. CPSC is generally restricted from sharing this type of information with companies due to confidentiality requirements. If a firm is unsure whether CPSC has been adequately informed of a defect or risk or failure to comply with a consumer product safety rule, the firm must report that information to CPSC.
The company's investigation to determine whether to report to the CPSC should not exceed 10 working days, unless the firm can demonstrate that a longer time is reasonable under the circumstances. Absent such circumstances, the Commission will presume that, at the end of 10 working days, the company has received and considered all information that would have been available to it had it undertaken a reasonable, expeditious, and diligent investigation.
You must immediately report the information about the product. The law does not require injury or harm to have occurred.
No. Reporting a product to the Commission under Section 15 of the CPSA does not mean that the Commission will conclude automatically that a corrective action is necessary.
CPSC staff will evaluate the report and work with the reporting firm to determine if corrective action is appropriate. Many of the reports CPSC receives require no corrective action because CPSC staff concludes that the reported product defect does not create a substantial product hazard. In the case of reporting a non-compliance with CPSC safety requirements, there are other options that CPSC staff may consider short of a recall, for example, correcting a non-compliant label in future production.
Confidentiality requirements generally restrict CPSC from publishing lists of product reports received from manufacturers, importers, distributors, or retailers, or from disclosing matters in active investigation.
Yes. Under Section 6(b)(5) of the CPSA the Commission and its employees may not publicly disclose information reported under Section 15, unless the Commission has:
Section 6(b)(5) of the CPSA also applies to any information reported under Section 102 of the Child Safety Protection Act. (See 16 CFR 1117.7.) In addition to the protections of Section 6(b)(5), additional information disclosure protections are provided under Sections 6(a) and (b)(1) of the CPSA.
Section 37 of the CPSA requires manufacturers of consumer products to report information about settled or adjudicated lawsuits. Under Section 6(e) of the CPSA , the Commission and its employees may not publicly disclose information reported under Section 37 of the CPSA, except that such information may be furnished to the reporting manufacturer or Congress, under certain circumstances. By law, reporting under Section 37 is not an admission of the existence of an unreasonable risk of injury, a defect, a substantial product hazard, an imminent hazard, or any other liability under any statute or common law. Information provided voluntarily that is in addition to information required to be reported under Section 37, is governed by the confidentiality provisions of Section 15 reports.
If you work for a company that manufactures, imports, distributes, brands or sells consumer products, your employer may not fire or retaliate against you because you provided, caused to be provided, or are about to provide or cause to be provided to the employer, the federal government, or the attorney general of a state, information relating to any violation of, or any act or omission that you reasonably believe to be a violation of any law, order, rule, regulation, standard, or ban enforced by the CPSC.

Hi ladies
So I went for my daughters 9 month check up last week. I've been so lucky and breastfeeding is going well. I planned to breastfeed for a year and wean when I go back to work at the end of January. But my family dr said that WHO recommends bf for 2 years. So I'm going to try and pump at work and see how it goes. My question is if it doesn't work out what do I do? My dr said put her on formula I've never heard of that before. She eats solid food now and after a year of bf only why put her on formula. I'm soo confused. I thought once we bf for a year we'd start homo milk. I'd really appreciate some advice. not really sure after a year what the next step is. thanks

The first suggestion is good. Yeah for ingame. But phail for wifi. As if u Rest for two turns. You will get the shit beat out of and it will make Rest totally useless. And NEVER teach it both Ice and Water for a Water type Pokemon's only attacks as u never will be able to swat Water types and Grass/Ice type Pokemon with that first set. Even GameFAQS is alot more relieable than this. =]
Go with this set for Manaphy
Hidden Power(Electric)/Shadow Ball terrible coverage

I look the same on GameFAQS and they are also relieable sets as well. What I say is only my suggestion that is also helpful as well.
Today's Pokemon
Pidgeot (Shiny)
Nature suggestion: N/A (Doesn't matter with a Shiny Pokemon)
Wing Attack/Air Slash/Aerial Ace/Return
Giga Impact/Brave Bird (Masuda Method for this)
U-Turn-Useful manuver for a Poke switch.
Roost-As always. This is recommended especially for Wifi battles.
Wing Attack/Air Slash/Aerial Ace-Great flying attack. Air Slash is recommendable if Pigiot has more Sp.Attk than attack. If it has more attk, definitely Aerial Ace. Go with Wing Attack if u want to save your Aerial Ace TM for someone else.
Giga Impact-Suggested. As u cannot ever teach it Brave Bird as u will want a shiny one. I suggest getting a shiny Pidgey or Pigeotto. As the shiny one looks so much better than the normal ones till it isn't even funny. Radar abuse or Masuda method to get a shiny pokemon ALOT more easily. If u decide to teach it Brave Bird, as it can only learn this through breeding. Then Masuda method to get a shiny one for that move.
The EV's it should get is mostly Def 252 and Attk 252. Def for better meatshielding against Rock type moves such a Rock Tomb, Rock Slide, Stone Edge, etc. And the remaining 6 EV should go to Sp Def. Teach it Return if u taught it Brave Bird instead of Giga Impact.
lol fail
Posted 23 April 2012 - 09:16 PM
Uhh... Manaphy has this thing called Hydration. It cures statuses instantly in the rain, making Rest a free full heal. Man, if there was only some easy way to summon endless rain...
you're seriously suggesting Giga Impact? really? That's probably one of the big no-no's of competitive battling.
i could give more details on what's wrong with this set but I don't see this going anywhere anytime soon...

it's almost as if you didn't even read the actual contents of my post
I mean you don't even say anything about someone telling you what's wrong with using Giga Impact in competitive
Posted 25 April 2012 - 07:13 AM
Let me explain this in greater detail.
Alright, Return vs Giga Impact. The first turn, Return does a 102BP attack, while Giga Impact does a 150BP attack. The second turn, Return does a 102BP attack, while Giga Impact does nothing. Over these two turns, Return has done 204, while Giga Impact does only 150. Essentially, you'd be better off running STRENGTH over Giga Impact, even that's 160 vs 150.
"But killing power!" Well, let's say you actually faint something with Giga Impact (a rare occurance). The opponent sends in a Pokemon that trumps yours... and you can't switch out. You're screwed. Dead. At least Destiny Bond has a 100% chance of going off, Giga Impact doesn't even have that!
Finally, Normal is a TERRIBLE attacking type. No SE hits at all, NVE against Steel and Rock, nothing against Ghosts... no other type is really that bad. With STAB, it's a little better, but you still can't hit anything SE, so that 153BP is it. That's not good at dealing tons of damage at once. There's a reason that if Return's listed on a Smogon set you're either dealing with a Normal type, or that Pokemon has a TERRIBLE learnset.

John Galliano collection puts on a cool attitude
Galliano man is this sympathetic boy we always like, certainly due to its appearance, both precious and relaxed. In this collection for next winter, Bill Gayten, in charge of studio, wanted to put this cool attitude forward with some contrasts of materials, shapes and colours. The florescent boots succeed to illuminate the clothes made in basic tones. Low waist trousers in a harem style or the jackets finishing in drapes provide an interesting twist to the suits. We find a play on volumes on coats, while the famous Galliano prints and the top hats appear as symbols of a label which has become a cult, even if we can feel the absence of its founder.

Add some giggles to your gifts
by Kas Winters, Mother of Family Ideas™
In our family, we focus more on the fun of being together than on the gifts given or received. Some of the most memorable items exchanged are often inexpensive, handmade or ones that make us laugh. We'll admit that opening gifts is seldom boring, but it's quite a bit of fun to make the exchange itself amusing. We remember those chuckles for years.

The strategic planning process is reaching the late innings. While there is still much to be determined, what is clear are major themes the campus has embraced in thinking through the next five years, which will culminate with North Central College's 150th Anniversary in 2011-2012. The College's mission, to prepare students to be informed, involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over a lifetime, is reflected in a desire to better articulate, document, and reinforce the distinctive elements of North Central's identity and approach to education. Among the words and phrases that keep coming up are leadership, ethics, values and service, global awareness, and engagement.
Let me turn to engagement, a word that has taken on great significance in the academy in recent years. When addressing prospective students making a choice about what school to attend, I refer to North Central College as a "full service institution." What I mean by this--in contrast to Internet degrees and storefront academic programs--is that education at this college is not just about courses and tests. It encompasses one-on-one instruction with faculty members in and out of the classroom, athletic and extracurricular activities, service projects and experiences off-campus and around the world. We believe, I add, that many of the most important learning experiences of your college years will result from these interactions and experiences, as generations of alumni who went on Model UN trips, took advantage of Richter grants for undergraduate study, or were actively involved in WONC, theatre, or athletic teams would attest.
The Strategic Plan study group working on engagement and service has identified three kinds of active learning experience at the College:
- intellectual engagement or the active involvement that takes place when students are challenged to become critical thinkers, take intellectual risks, apply analytic understanding to practical problems or new situations;
- institutional engagement or the active involvement with faculty and staff outside of the classroom and participation in a variety of extra-curricular, co-curricular or informal social groups on campus; and
- community engagement or the active involvement in internships, community service projects, or volunteer opportunities that confront the human condition beyond the confines of the College.
The study group suggests that, utilizing the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), the College should benchmark its success with sister institutions such as Drake University and Valparaiso University in the Associated New American Colleges (ANAC), and the entire group of colleges and universities in our Carnegie class (i.e., comprehensive institutions). THe good news is that in 2006, for "level of academic challenge," "active and collaborative learning," "student-faculty interaction" and "enriching educational experiences," North Central College ranked above our ANAC and Carnegie peers for both freshmen and seniors. The less good news is that when we compare ourselves to the top 10 percent of peer institutions, particularly for seniors, we fall far short. Couple this with data from on-campus surveys we administer every year, and it is evident that we still have significant work to do to realize our potential as a full-service institution in which students are actively engaged in their learning in and out of the classroom.
This is what strategic planning is all about. Setting goals--like being in the top 10 percent among peer institutions in student engagement as measured by NSSE surveys--and then implementing strategies to achieve them.

Bad ResultsI have naturally wavy hair and I bought the tinted/highlighted formula and put it for 5 min . The results were bad , when my hair is wet it looks like if is relaxed because the top is wavy and the bottom is straight and it is very frizzy and the ends are just like arrows of how much straight it is . I would advice to be very careful with this product because now i will have to wait a year for the chemicals to get out of my hair.Dec 20, 2009Wendy / Tampa,FL

Curls Are Gone, Pretty Waves Are Left.Naturally, I have awkward, large, uneven curls in my thick, almost-shoulder length hair. To make it look nice I either waited for it to dry and straightened it (blow drying makes my hair expand way too much) or twisted it with bobby pins when it was wet and when it dried it had prettier, tighter curls (but it took hours to dry in such a formation). I tried this product so I'd be able to shower right before early morning classes and not have to do anything to my hair. I love straight hair so I was kind of hoping it would make it pin-straight but I'm very happy with the pretty waves I have now that require NO effort whatsoever. This is the mildest product on the market according to my research, and I used the tinted formula because my hair is dyed, so there was no hair breakage and hardly any damage. One side is kind of straighter than the other because I applied it when wet so I guess I couldn't tell where I had applied and where I hadn't, but I don't really mind, I'm quite happy with the results. Maybe I'll do the process again in a month or three to achieve absolute straightness, which seems possible if it has the same magnitude of an effect the second time. But maybe I won't because I'm quite happy with how it looks now. My hair also seems less frizzy, which is probably only noticeable to me but it sure seems to have less volume, which is what I wanted. I highly recommend this product.Dec 15, 2009NavHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair

This Is Good Stuff!I bought this stuff at a local beauty salon after reading all of the reviews. My hair is naturally straight but of course after a baby I decided that I wanted something completely different and went with a perm. My hair grew out so I have straight hair at the top about 2 inches and then curly hair the rest of the way down ahh!! So, all in all...I absolutely recommend this product! My hair is completely straight out of the shower like it is when I have flat ironed it! This stuff really works! Such a big fan, and you can't beat the price! It is somewhat smelly, but just like a perm. If you can put up with that then you can make this work for your hair! :)Nov 11, 2009Loretta / Salem, VA USA

AwesomeLike half of the people to review this product, I got a bad perm recently. I tried to get used to it but I wanted my old hair back (it wasn't perfect but it wasn't this bad!). It had tight curls underneath and looser curls on the top with bad frizz all over!!!! The only thing I could do was wet it and then mouse it, which I did not really like. So, after 2 weeks of dealing with it I started looking for something to take it out and found this product. I read ALL of the reviews and decided to try it. I figured it couldn't make it any worse! I am sooooo very glad I did!!!!!! I used it just like the directions said... left step 1 on for 15 minutes, rinsed, left step 2 on for 5 minutes and rinsed again. Then I let it air dry. It still needed some frizz help (it had some frizz before I even permed it), so I put on a deep conditioner for 5 or 6 minutes. I let it air dry again then used my flat iron with some flar iron spray (got2b brand) and my hair looks better than ever now! Its straight and shiny and best of all... NO FRIZZ!!!!!! I highly recommend this for taking a perm out, I don't know what it does to naturally curly hair but it will definatly take a bad perm out. Also buy a pack of conditioning hair mask just in case.Oct 25, 2009Jessica / LakelandHAIR TYPECurly Hair

Amazing Product!Im a 14 year old with thick frizzy hair with small waves. I had been looking at this product for a long time but was very scared to use it because I didnt want to damage my hair. Finally I just decided to go for it after the woman at sallys said the chemicals werent as strong as some other treatments. I used the resistant formula and had my mom help me. I ended up leaving it on about 25 minutes so that the top, frizziest layers would process long enough. After I finished both steps, I used a hair conditioning mask and left it on about 3 minutes then rinsed. My hair is so soft and when I woke up this morning it was straight! Some little kinks in the front but thats probably just from the way i slept. I couldnt be more happy. Im going in too get a hair cut because the ends are awfully dead and split. BUY THIS PRODUCT! Its a pain to put in but its not expensive and if the neutralizer takes the nasty smell from step 1 out. Good luck :)Aug 15, 2009Hannah Forbes / North CarolinaHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair

No Muss No FussIm hispanic with thick, kinky curly shoulder length hair. I constantly have to go to the salon to have my hair straightened which can be amazingly expensive. Id seen Ono online and ordered it but was too freak out to give it a try after reading the directions. The box has been sitting in the bathroom for about two months when my grandmother came for a visit and immediately started to nag about the appearance of my hair asking me when I was going to get it fix. Well I broke down and tried it last night and O.o omg Im sooo glad I did. I bought the tinted formula since I have color treated hair and didnt leave it on that long since I was freaked out that my hair would get damaged. Needless to say that it came out the same if not better then a salon straighting. Ive never been happier. Finally something that works and wont send your wallet screaming for the hills.Aug 7, 2009Becca / Boston, MAHAIR TYPELatin / Curly Hair

Worked AlrightI used one n only a few days ago, I purchased the color treated formula. Ive never used a relaxer before so I was hesitant to try it, I only left it on for 10 minutes then rinsed it off. I had super curly hair before, and now my hair is wavy, I wanted more of a straight look, so Im going to wait 2 weeks then do it again. The frizz was also greatly reduced and its much easier to straighten.Jul 24, 2009Kate EHAIR TYPECurly Hair

I Did It AgainThis is the second time Ive used the product...I did it last year also.This time it came out even better than last time...my hair is soft, smooth, shiny and not dry at all...and best of all..ITS STRAIGHT!! Suggestions...deep condition your hair the night before you do the process...DO THE STRAND TEST every few minutes to see if the curl is removed enough...if not, leave it in a few more minutes...continue to GENTLY comb the product through during the alotted time to maintain a straight pattern to your hair...and get a trim shortly after you do it....I am so happy I didnt spend hundreds of dollars on the Keratin treatment...my results are 10x better than my friends who did it and I spent under $8...Jun 25, 2009Rrr / Jersey Shore

Will and Kate lookalikes fake out London media
Tabloid newspaper sent impersonators to St. Mary's Hospital
Lookalikes of Prince William and a pregnant Kate Middleton faked out the London media on Friday.
With hordes of cameras and reporters staked out in front of St. Mary's Hospital, where Kate is expected to deliver the royal baby any day now, the Will and Kate impersonators sparked a literal media frenzy when they approached.
"William" was dressed in khakis and a button-up shirt, while "Kate" wore a beige trench coat concealing her baby bump.
Entering the hospital's Lindo Wing, they re-emerged with T-shirts bearing the logo of London tabloid The Sun.
Turns out, the newspaper had sent the lookalikes there on purpose in an advertising stunt.

From: STATESUP
Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 4:25 PM
To:Regional Superintendents and Special Education Directors
District Superintendents
Subject: Weekly Message from State Superintendent
Robert Schiller 10-31-03
Good afternoon,
In this weeks message I need to share with you the
status on this years Report Cards. First, we expect
to provide you with access to your School Report Card information
next week via a secured website. Since you will not be receiving
the Report Card this week, ISBE will not be enforcing the
October 31 mandated deadline this year.
I want to emphasize that our priority throughout this process
has been to insure the accuracy of the data released. Given
the high stakes for school and district accountability, accuracy
is of primary importance. I am grateful for your understanding
and support regarding the need for accuracy, and know that
it is important that you have sufficient time to share your
Report Card data with the public prior to state publication.
As you may remember from previous messages, ISBE has in the
past months been migrating to a new e-report card
whose aim is to provide a faster, more efficient, integrated
electronic system of gathering and reporting the annual data.
We believe there will be great long-term benefit from this
new system that replaces a cumbersome paper process with online
data collection, calculation and publication. Further, we
envision that this integrated database will eventually be
able to correlate with various other educational databases
which should result in eliminating multiple and redundant
data collections.
Several factors entered into this years report compilation.
As you know, the process was done in-house in past years.
This year it was outsourced as part of a larger data
warehouse initiative that applies better technology
for data management. The agency efforts also include development
of the e-grant management system and student identifier system.
The Report Card relies on a variety of separate databases:
the Fall Housing Report, the Teacher Service Record, annual
financial data, and state testing data, to name a few. As
with all complicated data projects, the initial transfer of
multiple databases to a single system, along with coding for
various interrelated calculations, has multiple design and
testing steps. Until all data is final and complete, a full
test run of the Report Card system could not occur.
Additionally, this year was the first time that additional
data entry related to student subgroup data. This was specified
by NCLB which also required desegregation of data. The database,
therefore, required a new and expanded design. The new coding
system also posed problems for some districts, as a result
of the added requirements.
I encourage you to review the data as soon as possible. ISBE
also provides the same information to the media and will make
all the Report Card data public 30 days after you receive
it. As always, you should release your own information between
the time of receipt and the end of the embargo period.
Again, thank you for your support and understanding in this
years process. Please extend my appreciation to all
who worked diligently to review and provide necessary information.
I hope this information will assist you in communicating with
your parents and staff.

Statewide Clean School Bus Program Begins
Governor Blagojevich recently announced the kick-off of his
Illinois Clean School Bus Program to significantly
reduce emissions from existing diesel-powered school buses.
The program includes providing assistance to Illinois school
districts in replacing existing buses with cleaner models,
retrofitting existing buses with advanced emission control
technologies and implementing cleaner fuels.
The Illinois State Board of Education is partnering with
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and the
Governors office to promote the program to Illinois
school districts. Implementation of the program will be provided
by the IEPA.
Options available include installing after-market retrofits
such as oxidation catalysts or particulate filters; replacing
existing diesel fuel with cleaner burning fuels such as ultra-low
sulfur diesel (ULSD) or 20 percent biodiesel; and utilizing
clean diesel technology, including engines that can meet the
more stringent emission standards set for 2007 or natural
gas and propane powered engines.
The IEPA will also work with school district personnel and
commercial school bus contractors to provide resources on
the potential health and environmental impacts and to reduce
or eliminate unnecessary idling of school buses.
Funding for the program has been initially provided by a
supplemental environmental project, under terms of an Illinois
enforcement case. This initial funding is restricted to twenty-four
counties in the state (a map is available at www.epa.state.il.us/news-releases/2003/)
For additional information on the Illinois Clean School Bus
Program contact the Illinois IEPA at 217-524-4947.
Invitation to Comment on Rules
At its October meeting, the State Board of Education released
two sets of proposed amendments for public comment. These
rulemaking items have been posted on the agencys web
site at www.isbe.net/rules;
choose Proposed Rules and Amendments. Please submit
any comments or suggestions you may have to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Part 27 (Standards for Certification in Specific Teaching
This rulemaking will remove a provision from Part 27 that
was inappropriately included in the standards for Technology
Education Teachers when these rules were originally promulgated.
The language being struck (Section 27.460(k)) describes inputs
rather than competencies and thus is inconsistent with a standards-based
approach. Further, there is concern in the technology education
field that the requirement for 2000 hours of work experience
(see Section 27.460(k)(2) on the last page of the rules) blurs
the distinction between certification in vocational areas
or trades that is based on work experience with certification
to teach exploratory technology education programs. Representatives
of approved technology education programs have also indicated
that this standard is incompatible with the NCATE standards
to which the programs must conform. As such they indicate
that its inclusion places their institutions in an untenable
position. Subsection (k) of the rule should be deleted so
that it will not be a factor in the review of these approved
It should be noted that this set of standards is for a specific
credential Technology Education Teacher as distinct
from the technology standards that are applicable to all teachers
and are found in Part 24 of ISBEs rules (Standards for
All Illinois Teachers). The individuals affected are teachers
of exploratory technology courses.
Deadline for Public Comment:
December 22, 2003
Part 120 (Pupil Transportation Reimbursement)
This rule has been developed in response to a problem revealed
through a districts application for a modification of
an existing rule on pupil transportation reimbursement through
the waiver process established under Section 2-3.25g of the
School Code. The rule that was the subject of the request
is similar to the requirement for districts that own and operate
their own transportation services to prorate their total transportation
costs across all categories of transportation services, based
on the ratio of miles traveled in each category to total system
miles (Section 120.90(d) of the rules). The same approach
is used when a district chooses one contractor to provide
all of its transportation services and expressed in Section
Earlier this year, Oak Park District 97 petitioned to be
allowed to treat each category of transportation services
separately for the purposes of calculating its reimbursement,
even though the district employs only one contractor to provide
both regular and special education transportation. The district
requested that the types of transportation be kept separate
because separate, competitive bidding had occurred for each
type. That is, there were two separate contracts, but the
procurement process had resulted in issuance of both to the
same contractor because that entity submitted the low bid
in each case.
Agency staff understood that using the pro-ration mechanism
provided in the rules would reduce the districts annual
transportation reimbursement from the State by more than $60,000
(because the higher rate of reimbursement for special education
transportation would be diluted by combining the
two categories). Nevertheless, waiving that requirement could
not result in meeting the intent of the rule (cost containment)
more effectively or efficiently, a criterion for approval
of the request. Other factors related to the effect on other
districts also played a part in the agencys denial of
the request.
This is not to say that the Board and the staff did not accept
the premise behind the districts request. It was agreed
that the agency should explore a revision to the rule to accommodate
the situation that had been brought to light. The amendment
presented here delineates the ability to treat categories
separately even when there is a single contractor, provided
that each contract is let based on the lowest bid among at
least two. It is hoped that this provision will resolve the
issue faced by Oak Park for that district and potentially
for others, without creating unintended incentives that would
compromise cost containment.
Deadline for Public Comment: December
22, 2003
Release of State Assessment Sample Item Pools
Sample ISBE-developed reading, mathematics, science, and
social science test items from past ISAT, PSAE, and IMAGE
tests are now available to schools and districts. These item
pools contain valid and reliable items from previous ISAT
and IMAGE test administrations and the ISBE-developed portions
of the PSAE. Teachers can select items from these pools to
help construct formative, on-going assessments to check for
student understanding using the same types of items that are
administered on the state assessments. ROEs, ISCs, districts,
and schools throughout Illinois may make additional copies
of these materials as needed.
You may access these items by going to the ISBE assessment
Web site at www.isbe.net/assessment
and clicking on State Assessment Sample Item Pools.
The test-development software and item pools can be downloaded
in either Windows or Macintosh versions. Be sure to read the
instructions in the file called READ ME first so you will
know how to install the item pools.
You may also access these item pools by using the State Assessment
Sample Item Pool CD-ROMs which are scheduled to be sent in
November 2003. ISBE will send packets of these CD-ROMs to
each non-Chicago district office (containing enough copies
for 1 per building), to each Chicago school (1 copy), and
to every ROE/ISC (1 copy).
The item pools and test-development software replace ISBEs
previous paper copies of the ISAT and IMAGE sample booklets
which will no longer be available in paper format from ISBE
when existing supplies of these booklets run out. ISBE will
continue to produce and provide to schools the PSAE teachers
handbook and test-preparation materials for grade 11 students.
Both the Item Pool CD-ROMs and the assessment Web site (www.isbe.net/assessment)
also contain PDF versions of past sample booklets which schools
may download and copy as needed.
The item pool and test construction software will be enhanced
during the coming year with additional released items from
the ISAT and PSAE. In future years, the items in these pools
will be aligned with the Illinois Assessment Framework (www.isbe.net/assessment/IAFIndex.htm)
which is the blueprint for the state tests that will be administered
beginning in spring 2006 as part of the Illinois Enhanced
Assessment System. For further information about the State
Assessment Sample Item Pools, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
