I gotta be honest, I really don't want Shaq on the Knicks lol. Especially in D'Antoni's system, I don't think he would survive!
Yes. Perfect Compliment. Screw Kobe.
No. Wont take league min. salary
No. Doesn't fit system.
Y/N. Who Cares. There are better options out there.
It makes me wonder, since SHAQ has stated that NY is one place he would go.... We would need a C, and some bodies to fill out the roster.... At the league minimum...
Shaq has earned enough money over his career. He is annoyed Kobe has one more title. He would LOVE to do anything possible to prevent Kobe to win again next year (on Phil's farewell tour).
SO, I ask this: If Lebron comes to NY, would Shaq take the min. salary?
At the very least, we would have Curry. We can't trust him. So we bring SHAQ in as insurance. Not like he has to play alot. We sure will need him in the playoffs though.
He is from NJ. He would perhaps come aboard and go for the ride?
Sure others might as well. Eddie House? Kurt Thomas? Makes you wonder.
AGAIN. Role players. Bodies. Assuming we can't move Curry, or get much for Chandler-Douglas. Going with what we have already, we need a C and a PG.
Livingtson or Ridnour; plus House or Miller; Thomas or Shaq.
1 each (PG, shooter, C). Round out the roster, accept their role, take less money... all for the title?
I gotta be honest, I really don't want Shaq on the Knicks lol. Especially in D'Antoni's system, I don't think he would survive!
Eddy Curry is or lone hope really. How crazy is that. Then again, as a DUKE fan, I just saw Brian Zoubek play a huge part in a championship. After 3.5 miserable years, he turned into a borderline NBA player. Where did that come from.
If Eddy Curry can return to 80 percent what he was a few years ago, he'll help this team. AND, aside from giving away our cap flexibility for next year in a trade for a big with a bad contract, who else is out there to play C.
Say Earl Barron signs the min. salary, and we get Jerome Jordan. We still need a proven vet. Kurth Thomas. Shaq. Something like that.
Regardless if they fit the system, there will be times in certain games, and their will be specific matchups on a given night, when we need a banger in the paint.
A specialist really. A weapon to deploy when/if necessary.
Get to the finals, and what to do? Leave Ama're on an island to battle Odom, Gasol-Bynum all by himself?
I saw Shaq b/c he would be that banger. Fits with the new greatest show on Earth tour. Big and experienced. Something left in the tank. BUT, most of all, probably willing to sign on for league min. to get one more shot.
Any thoughts on who could be our C?
I don't care for Shaq. He is only 1/50th the player he used to be. If he signs for one-year, perhaps.
I don't understand why he just doesn't retire and work as a member of upper management
are the Hornets really not looking for offers on Okafor and Darren Collison?
Because that would solve all our problems. We would have a Nice PG prospect and a C/backup PF who would be a nasty deffender in the paint.

Ian has done a fine job during all this, and has moved near the head of the class from a Knicks information standpoint.
So, if this is true. If we are signing Carmelo next July. Then we can't deal Curry. Actually, we have to deal Wilson Chandler to get under enough for a 3rd max contract.
Anyway, this means we keep Curry (and thus have to find a PG and a C, on a 1-year deal) and somehow plug our holes.
It's too bad we that we can't get Chris Paul here, at least I don't see a way his team would go for it. Not only would it guarantee Lebron to come here but we would have one sick trio!
LBJ and Shaq never went anywhere because shaw cant play enough minutes, slows down the tempo and get tired too quickly, plus he gets injured.
Shaq should def not come here.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Bring back Earl Barron first. Then I say we look at a guy like Ben Wallace for the league minimum. I know he's old but you know he is going to hustle and he is going to rebound most importantly ( and he gives you 6 hard fouls per night). And I'm not sure if any of you saw one of STAT's back-ups with the Suns last year, Lou Admunson, but he is a fan favorite in Phoenix for his hustle and surprising athletic ability. He would be great for us.
That gives us
C- Curry, Barron, Jordan
PF- STAT, Wallace, Admunson

Evil liberal media
Hey there,
y'all, I am here visiting beautiful Northern Michigan from Oklahoma. I
picked up a copy of your paper and enjoyed it very much. I got a chuckle
out of and felt a need to respond to Bob Lovik's letter ("Setting
things straight," 8/6). Perhaps I can help "set him straight."
Thanks to the uninformed, fear-mongering liberal media, this new and threatening process called fracking is the latest and greatest threat to our environment. News flash, fracking has been around for DECADES. Feel free to consult U-M or MSU professors of geology or petroleum engineering to confirm.
Procuring energy in any of its many forms can pose some environmental threats. For example, the thousands of birds, many of which are endangered species, killed by the giant windmills that generate electricity.
There is little evidence to support that fracking is some kind of environmental threat waiting to happen. I don't glow in the dark, my son is perfectly normal, my water doesn't spontaneously combust...

A bachelor's degree is a four-year undergraduate degree and is the standard for higher education throughout most of the world. Bachelor's degrees can be earned at state universities, at private universities, at community colleges and via online universities.
Across the Atlantic, the discussion about online courses and their potential to restructure higher education has been raging for some time. Courses are structured as weekly online conferences; communication with the course tutor and other learners takes place in a virtual learning environment. The online courses are intended to fit around your calendar; you access the course whenever it is suitable for you.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom and Britain, is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe.The two most famous (and oldest) universities are Oxford and Cambridge (often referred to as Oxbridge by many Britons) England also has several other world-class institutions, including several in London (notably Imperial College, the London School of Economics, University College London and King's College London, all are part of London University)
Wales is one of four main parts of United Kingdom. Welsh language evolved from Celtic and is very different from English. It's one of two official languages in Wales. There is a total of 10 universities with around 150 000 students.

GOP begins mining bill push with hearing
Lawmakers spar over hearing rules
Republicans have started their push to pass mining legislation at a messy public hearing.
Dozens of people jammed the hearing Wednesday before the state Senate and Assembly mining committees in the state Capitol.
The Assembly panel's chairwoman, Republican Rep. Mary Williams, declared committee members would be allowed to ask only two questions of each person who spoke.
Democratic committee members flew into a rage when Williams used the rules to cut off questions for the bill's authors.
"Madame chairman, this is unheard of in the legislature where you do not allow legislators to ask a public question to the authors of the bill. This is unheard of," said Sen. John Lehman, D-Racine.
Rep. Brett Hulsey, a Madison Democrat, shouted out that the hearing amounted to a kangaroo court.
Democrats said they want more hearings on the bill, but Republicans said that right now, Wednesday's hearing is the only one.
The bill would make sweeping changes to Wisconsin's mining regulations in hopes of persuading Gogebic Taconite to open an iron mine just south of Lake Superior. Conservationists said the project would devastate the pristine area.
Many at the hearing were from northern Wisconsin. Some talked about how a mine would help the area's suffering economy.
"I watched these people move out of town, or they take half-pay jobs and they both try to work, and eventually their house gets foreclosed," said Wayne Nesi, who supports the mining bill.
But conservationists contend the bill loosens Wisconsin's mining so much that it will destroy the environment.
"We know that there are insurances, but when something goes wrong, as it always does, is there the ability to stop the mine when something happens?" said Carl Doersch, who is against the mining bill.
The Republican co-author of the bill said this issue has been debated and debated again. He noted that 471 people have testified, and there have been 52 hours of hearings and eight separate sessions. He said it's time to move forward with the bill.

- Geotechnical properties of recycled crushed brick in pavement applications
- Author(s)
- Arulrajah, Arul; Piratheepan, J.; Aatheesan, T.; Bo, M. W.
- Abstract
- This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation on the characterization of recycled crushed brick and an assessment of its performance as a pavement sub-base material. The properties of the recycled crushed brick were compared with the local state road authority specifications in Australia to assess its performance as a pavement sub-base material. The experimental programme was extensive and included tests such as particle size distribution, modified Proctor compaction, particle density, water absorption, California Bearing Ratio, Los Angeles abrasion loss, pH, organic content, static triaxial and repeated load triaxial tests. California Bearing Ratio values were found to satisfy the local state road authority requirements for a lower sub-base material. The Los Angeles Abrasion Loss value obtained was just above the maximum limits specified for pavement sub-base materials. The repeat load triaxial testing established that crushed brick would perform satisfactorily at a 65% moisture ratio level. At higher moisture ratio levels shear strength of the crushed brick was found to be reduced beyond the acceptable limits. The results of the repeat load triaxial testing indicate that only recycled crushed brick with a moisture ratio of around 65% is a viable material for usage in pavement subbase applications. The geotechnical testing results indicates that crushed brick may have to be blended with other durable recycled aggregates to improve its durability and to enhance its performance in pavement sub-base applications.

Sometimes it's useful to give a reminder to yourself -- like to tell you when it's time to get off the computer. Here's a few simple and effective ways to use Linux and open source tools to make reminders for either later in your current login session, or for the next time you log in.
Sending yourself a short email message is often effective for reminding yourself to do something during your next workday or the next time you read email; keeping a message in your INBOX works as a constant reminder to get something done -- provided you don't abuse it and fill your INBOX with lots of these "urgent" mails!
To quickly send an email reminder, give your email address (or just
your username on your Linux box, if you check mail there) as an
argument to the
For example, if your email address is email@example.com, to send yourself an email reminder:
mail firstname.lastname@example.com:
Bring files to meeting
Ctrl-dCc: Null message body; hope that's ok
The text you type on the Subject: line is displayed as the
subject of your email message, and the lines of text you type after
that is the body text of the message. In the example, the reminder was
typed in the
Subject: line and the message body was empty.
Press Ctrl-d on a line alone to end the message;
There isn't much editing capability in this basic email service -- Ctrl-u erases the current line and Ctrl-c Ctrl-c (yes, press it twice) cancels the message.
Use the
leave tool to remind you when you have to
leave (you can get either the Debian package or its original NetBSD
sources from here at debian.org). Give
as an argument the time, in 24-hour format, when you have to go.
To remind yourself to leave at 8:05pm, type:
leave 20:05 RET
You'll get a reminder printed on your screen five minutes before the given time, one minute before the time, at the time itself and then every minute subsequently until you log off.
sleep tool does nothing but wait (or "sleep") for
the number of seconds specified as an argument. Use this followed by
; character (the shell command separator) and another command to run
that command after the amount of time you specify. This is useful to
run a command at a later time during your current session.
You can use it to send you some kind of reminder in a set amount of
time -- like the audio output of the
saytime tool, which
"speaks" the current time in a human voice. It's available as a Debian
package or from its Web site at acme.com.
Since the shell where you type this command will be unusable until the command you give is executed (or until you interrupt it), type this command in a console or window other than one you might be working in.
To ring the bell in thirty seconds, type:
sleep 30; echo -e '\a'
You can also follow the numeric option with a unit:
s seconds
m minutes
h hours
d days
To announce the time in exactly five minutes, type:
sleep 5m; saytime &

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources continues to hold hearings next week on proposed new rules to regulate confinement livestock farms in Iowa.
The DNR says the rule will bring Iowa into compliance with federal clean water regulations but environmental groups and others say the rules aren't strict enough to prevent manure and fertilizer runoff from contaminating rivers and lakes.
The final two hearings are set for 6 p.m. Monday in Calmar and 6 p.m. Tuesday in Washington.
Dozens of speakers turned up at meetings in Mason City, Spencer, Carroll and Des Moines last week. Many opposed the rules and wanted them to be rewritten to be more stringent.
A DNR spokesman says the agency has received more than 2,000 written comments so far.

Thank you for posting links to those two articles. Difficult as they are for me to read, I recognize truth in them. A couple of points:
I don't believe revenge has any relation to justice; and binding them in considering a response only insures further injustice.
The writers correctly point out the blindness of the American citizenry to the foriegn policy of its government and the para-foriegn policy of its private sector. Certainly, the financial district is no prairie homestead.
I cannot comment whether the British response is somehow jingoistic.
I cannot help but recognize in the attack against us, the work of the same bigotry and insularity attributed to us in the articles. Nor can I believe that the source of what is worst in the human condition is the United States or its policies.
I concede that acts we have perpetrated on innocents during the course of my lifetime too, have been crimes against humanity. Our foriegn policy needs to be altered radically--at the roots. But I need to ask if one attrocity mitigates another.
Expressions such as these articles assume the existence of justice. But our discourse must not only be *against wrong, but toward justice. I'm not sure we know what justice is, but the weave of our discourse concerning it must not revolve forever arround the terrible, but form a question leading toward what is right.

My daughter sent me this article and with Max's assistance I would like to share it with you.
I am still functioning in a state of semi-shock even though it is 6 days later. I lost no one personally in this tragedy and am grateful for Helen's and Ip's safety. I cannot imagine the loss there. Just the thought of it makes me tearful.
I only know that I have a son who will be registering for the draft in the next few months and my first grandchild due in less than four weeks. I pray there will be a solution to this situation that brings satisfaction without destruction of innocent lives like the ones lost here.

Well, Satin, if I interpret the messages from the White House correctly today, the American response may be more muted, or at least more measured, than it appeared that it might be for the past few days. A cautious ex-general and a politically-save VP are really just what the doctor to the US body politic ordered.
I still find it hard to believe that it's happened. The pictures might well be the opening scenes from a disaster movie. For the sakes of everyone who has lost someone, I wish it were so!_________________________

The letter reflects most of the reasons why I believe that America should sit back and think about what it is going to do at length before doing anything at all. Well done, IP._________________________

- Abstract
- We report the first results from the Z-FOURGE survey: the discovery of a candidate galaxy cluster at z = 2.2 consisting of two compact overdensities with red galaxies detected at >20{\sigma} above the mean surface density. The discovery was made possible by a new deep (Ks < 24.8 AB 5{\sigma}) Magellan/FourStar near-IR imaging survey with 5 custom medium-bandwidth filters. The filters pinpoint the location of the Balmer/4000\AA\ break in evolved stellar populations at 1.5 < z < 3.5, yielding significantly more accurate photometric redshifts than possible with broadband imaging alone. The overdensities are within 1' of each other in the COSMOS field and appear to be embedded in a larger structure that contains at least one additional overdensity (\sim10{\sigma}). Considering the global properties of the overdensities, the z = 2.2 system appears to be the most distant example of a galaxy cluster with a population of red galaxies. A comparison to a large {\Lambda}CDM simulation suggests that the system may consist of merging subclusters, with properties in between those of z > 2 protoclusters with more diffuse distributions of blue galaxies and the lower-redshift galaxy clusters with prominent red sequences. The structure is completely absent in public optical catalogs in COSMOS and only weakly visible in a shallower near-IR survey. The discovery showcases the potential of deep near-IR surveys with medium-band filters to advance the understanding of environment and galaxy evolution at z > 1.5.

It's back! This week's Small Business Roundup includes long content pages, website RFP redesign, and underbidding projects.
Don't Be Afraid of Content and Long Web Pages – This is an interesting topic. Not too long ago it was standard to tell website owners that their content couldn't be "below the fold" or they'd lose visitors. All you have to do is think about your own browsing habits. Do you scroll? Yes, everyone scrolls. The real issue is having valuable content. If you have excellent content that is easy to read, no one is going to mind scrolling to soak it all in. Just remember to keep it relevant and to the point.
Promote Your Business Without Being Pushy – This is a really simple concept but we tend to make it really hard. It's all about the brand message and strategy. If you have that down, the rest is easy.
Redesigning the Site Redesign RFP: Eight Do's and Don'ts – This is an excellent article if you are looking to do work on your website. You have to sign up for their site to read the whole thing but there is some really good information in here. It discusses mobile integration, content sharing, SEO, community features, and personalization. The tips for what not to ask for are even better.
Seven Ways to Whip Your Website into Shape – These tips are perfect. I think it would be a good idea to print these out and go through them once or twice a year, particularly: simplify, fix the problems, and refresh the about page. The final tip may be the best of all, though.
What to Do When You Underbid on a Project – This is a really hard one for me. I usually end up eating the cost because I think it's my fault if I underbid. But the reality is you are doing work for the client and they should pay for it. To keep your lights on and because they need to know how much your services cost. The author suggests eating the cost might help land a long-term relationship with the client but then you've started the relationship off by giving them more than they paid for – and they may expect that in the future. You have to set expectations.
Tech news is up next. Have a great weekend!

A blood test can check for hemoglobin S — the defective form of hemoglobin that underlies sickle cell anemia. In the United States, this blood test is part of routine newborn screening done at the hospital. But older children and adults can be tested, too.
In adults, a blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm. In young children and babies, the blood sample is usually collected from a finger or heel. The sample is then sent to a laboratory, where it's screened for hemoglobin S.
If the screening test is negative, there is no sickle cell gene present. If the screening test is positive, further tests will be done to determine whether one or two sickle cell genes are present. People who have one gene — sickle cell trait — have a fairly small percentage of hemoglobin S. People with two genes — sickle cell anemia — have a much larger percentage of the defective hemoglobin.
To confirm any diagnosis, a sample of blood is examined under a microscope to check for large numbers of sickle cells — a marker of the disease. If you or your child has the disease, a blood test to check for anemia — a low red blood cell count — will be done. And your doctor may suggest additional tests to check for possible complications of the disease.
If you or your child carries the sickle cell gene, you may be referred to a genetic counselor — an expert in genetic diseases.
Sickle cell disease can be diagnosed in an unborn baby by sampling some of the fluid surrounding the baby in the mother's womb (amniotic fluid) to look for the sickle cell gene. If you or your partner has been diagnosed with sickle cell anemia or sickle cell trait, ask your doctor about whether you should consider this screening. Ask for a referral to a genetic counselor who can help you understand the risk to your baby.

is created from 100 % organic sprouts and the highest quality SuperFoods. It is formulated together through a special process that harmonizes the subtle energy fields of each ingredient. Perfect for weight management and whenever extra energy is required. Nourish your body, feed your mind, and evolve your spirit with LifeSource SuperSprouts.
LifeSource SuperSprouts is a State-of-the-Art SuperFood dietary supplement. It was created to please the most ardent disciples of SuperFood benefits and the connoisseurs of right livelihood. It provides a blend of Organic Sprouts that include; Amaranth, Spelt, Broccoli, and Millet in a SuperFood base of soft cell Chlorella, Organic Spirulina, Wildcrafted Hydrilla, Organic Barley Juice Concentrate 40:1, Phasophyta green kelp, Rhodophyta Red kelp, Monatomic mineral complex, and Stevia.
What is a SuperFood?
SuperFood describes a food that is naturally concentrated to provide all the nutritional elements necessary for optimal health. Many of these foods are found in the first link of the food chain, i.e., the plankton which is made purely from sunlight and water, and grasses which are made from soil and sunlight. Since they are so nutrient dense, vtery little is required to achieve significant nutritional benefit. LifeSource SuperSprouts is a health and wellness product.
These SuperFoods also contain phytochemicals that scientists believe protects the body and promotes cellular wellness. The planktons, Spirulina and Chlorella are rich in pigments that science has identified as having powerful antioxidant properties. These pigments include chlorophyll, beta-carotene, phycocyanin and allophycocyanin. Chlorella has a fascinating ingredient called Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) which consists primarily of nucleic acids. These nucleic acids appear to enhance RNA/DNA functions responsible for the production of proteins, enzymes and energy fuels at the cellular level. RNA/DNA production diminishes with age. As a result, many anti-aging researchers recommend a diet rich in nucleic acids.
The organic sprout complex consists of Amaranth, Spelt, Broccoli, and Millet. Our sprouts are freeze dried so that their temperature sensitive constituents are maintained to the highest possible degree. They also provide easily assimilated organic minerals. Broccoli Sprouts are the richest source of sulphoraphane, a natural chemical researched at John Hopkins University for its ability to promote normal cellular functions. �Three day old broccoli sprouts consistently contain 20 to 50 times the protective compounds as found in mature broccoli, and may offer a simple dietary means of reducing health risks. Paul Talalay, MD., JJ Abel Distinguished Service Professor, John Hopkins University.
Hydrilla is a fresh water seaweed and is highly concentrated in calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, zinc, copper, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, vitamin C and vitamin E. Like the planktons, Hydrilla has an abundant source of beta-carotene and chlorophyll. Beta-carotene and Chlorophyll both act as potent detoxifiers and antioxidants in the body. Chlorophyll has a molecular structure very similar to the molecular structure of the human red blood cell, and it is known to be an excellent natural blood builder.
Barley Juice Concentrate is of the highest quality. It is an approximate 33:1 concentration and is processed under low heat without any carrier. It has the highest source of chlorophyll of any barley grass we have ever assayed. Barley grass is rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, beta carotene, B1, B2, B6, C, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. Green barley juice contains 11 times the calcium in cows' milk, nearly 5 times the iron in spinach, 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, and 80 mg of vitamin B12 per hundred grams. Barley also contains a glucan, a fiber reported to help the body maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
All ingredients for LifeSource SuperSprouts were selected by means of evaluating the vital subtle energy fields that emanate from all biological life. Sophisticated electromagnetic sensing devices measure the life force potential. From analyzing over 175 different ingredients, only nine were selected for the final formula. The goal was to provide the highest source of vital energy foodstuff.
All living forms are subjugated to certain Laws of the Universe, and one of those laws is the law of attraction and repulsion. We experience this as humans when we encounter some one who we do not personally know, but yet we have an immediate reaction on whether we would like this person or not. Ingredients, whether organic or inorganic have the same reaction when they come in contact with each other. They simply like each other or they don't. This shows up very clearly when observing the energy fields as they are mixed together.
While there were 20 ingredients out of the 175 originally tested that had superior vital energy output, only 9 of those twenty were able to be blended together and produce higher vital energy output then they were able to produce independently. This process gives the word �synergy a whole new meaning.
Two Kirlian photos showing the energy that emanates from LifeSource SuperSprouts and another popular SuperFood product. Through meticulous selection of high energy ingredients along with precision combining of those ingredients, LifeSource SuperSprouts provides over 34% vital energy than most other Super Food products.
High energy foods increase our own subtle energy fields. Over 27 years of research by Dr. Valerie Hunt at UCLA associates bio-electric energy fields with greater intelligence, mature emotional balance with less stress, increased learning ability, and overall heighten states of health. Research indicates that foods with an override frequency of 72MHz or greater increase the body's bio-electric energy potential. Foods below 72MHz deplete the body's vital energy potential.

Mix 1/2 teaspoon in 4 oz. of fresh juice or pure water once or twice per day as a meal replacement or as an in between meal energizer.

From: STATE SUPERINTENDENT
Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 4:54 PM
To: 'District Superintendents, ROEs, Directors of Special Education'
Subject: EFAB Recommendations and SAT Results
Good afternoon. I have two timely items for you.
First, I was in attendance at the Education Funding Advisory Board meeting at the State Board offices today. Following significant discussion, the members made recommendations regarding the state's school funding system. Below is the statement I issued this afternoon, followed by EFAB's news release.
Second, the College Board released the 2002 SAT and Advanced Placement results. Although our number of test-takers is small, they have once again distinguished our state as the highest performing in the nation on both the SAT and AP tests.
Statement by State Superintendent Robert E. Schiller Regarding EFAB Recommendations
Local school districts are facing severe financial challenges throughout Illinois as the cost of providing a quality education is rising in all categories – from salaries and benefits to transportation and maintenance of facilities.
I believe there is general agreement – even in these generally difficult fiscal times -- that public education in Illinois needs more money and that the state should provide a greater proportional share of school funding than it does currently.
The members of the Governor's Education Funding Advisory Board are to be commended and thanked for the careful job they have done of outlining avenues by which we can reach those goals.
The issues raised by EFAB come around for serious discussion every few years in our state, and they are certain to cause much public debate. In large part, that is the purpose of the work EFAB has done. EFAB's suggested combination of property tax relief and state revenue increases would assure that the state will provide the majority of funding for elementary and secondary education. Its recommendations in the area of school district consolidation surely will bring about much discussion.
It is now up to all of us in the education community – and all Illinois taxpayers -- to evaluate carefully EFAB's revenue-generating suggestions and comment on them. That is what the State Board of Education will do in the coming weeks.
Education Funding Advisory Board
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Further information: 217/782-4648
August 27, 2002
Cut Property Taxes, Increase State Support for Schools, Education Funding Board Says
The state's Education Funding Advisory Board recommends a substantial reduction in local property taxes, a sizable increase in state support for schools and adding incentives to encourage school consolidation.
EFAB members hammered out the recommendations in Springfield Tuesday after more than two years of deliberations and extensive discussions by work groups looking in-depth at problems with the school funding system. The group will hold three public hearings around the state to get comments and suggestions before submitting the final report to the Governor and General Assembly in January.
"The problems with school funding have been studied since I began my education career in Illinois forty years ago," said Robert Leininger, EFAB chair and a former State Superintendent of Education. "Every study has shown we are too dependent on local property taxes and the state is not paying its fair share in supporting our schools. Illinois ranks near the bottom of all states in terms of the percentage of school funding from the state."
"We don't need more studies to tell us the Illinois school funding system needs fixed. These recommendations are designed to provide the framework to fix the school funding system. We want comments and suggestions, but we strongly believe that it is time that all policymakers stand up for the future of this state by acting to fix the way Illinois funds its schools."
EFAB proposes that local property taxes for education be cut by 25 to 50 % and replaced dollar-for-dollar by the state. Illinois property owners pay about $9 billion in property taxes for education, so property tax relief would be between $2.25 billion to $4.5 billion. No school would lose money or access to property tax support under the EFAB plan, since the state would replace the decreased property taxes dollar-for-dollar.
EFAB recommends that General State Aid be increased to support a Foundation Level within the range of $5,665 to $6,680 per pupil – an increase from the present level of $4,560. The proposed level is based on studies of the spending practices of successful and efficient school districts. A variety of revenue replacement options were suggested by EFAB. Much could be generated by raising the income tax rate, closing loopholes and graduating exemptions. The sales tax rate could be reduced while providing additional revenue by broadening the tax base.
In addition, the recommendations call for the elimination of hold harmless and reinstatement of the continuing appropriation to assure districts of funding stability. A Department of Human Services poverty count would be used for calculating poverty grants for districts, rather than the ten-year census count.
The combination of property tax relief and state revenue increases assures that the state will provide the majority of funding for elementary and secondary education.
Unit districts are the preferred school district organizational structure with high schools enrolling a minimum of 250 students, according to EFAB. Rather than requiring schools to consolidate, EFAB recommends a reasonable approach by expanding the incentives for reaching these targets. Presently, the state has 893 school districts, 407 of which are units while 103 are high school districts and 383 are elementary districts. Having all unit districts would simplify the funding mechanism, increase equity among districts and provide efficiencies in the delivery of services.
To accomplish this reorganization, EFAB proposes that the current incentives be continued and additional incentives be added and that feasibility studies be required in all districts. If consolidation resulted in the need for a new building, EFAB proposes that the state fund 100 % of the cost of the building. In addition, a state implementation grant should accompany the reorganization and the new district should get a five-year exemption from the state designation system.
While many categorical programs remain unchanged, the recommendations provide for a new transportation formula and a study to combine special education funding sources. Combining some existing programs into block grants would increase the flexibility for local school districts while reducing the paperwork necessary to receive state funds.
Other recommendations include a simplification and reorganization of school district accounting and reporting procedures through a reduction in the number of levies and accounting funds
Illinois State Board of Education
Illinois students again outperform nation on SAT, AP exams
Embargoed Until 10:30 a.m. (Eastern) For Information: 217/782-4648
Tuesday, August 27
Illinois high school students who take the SAT college-entrance examination continue to far outperform their peers throughout the nation, State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller reported today.
Advanced Placement examination results for 2001-2002 also showed Illinois students outpacing the nation, Schiller said.
Mathematics scores for Illinois' 2002 public and nonpublic high school graduates who took the SAT I averaged 80 points above the national average in 2002 and verbal scores were 74 points higher. In addition, student gains over the last five years and the last ten years were higher for Illinois students than any other state. The greatest improvements for the 2002 graduating class were recorded by Asians, blacks and American Indians.
The average SAT I verbal score for all public and nonpublic graduates tested was 578, up 2 points from 2001 and 16 from the 1997 average of 562; for mathematics the score increased 7 points to 596 from 589 in 2001 and 18 points from 578 in 1997.
About 68 % of students who took the SAT I were from public schools. Their verbal scores averaged 578, the same as the Illinois group overall. In mathematics, public school students averaged 605, exceeding overall state average by 9 points.
"While SAT and AP exams are taken by only a small percentage of Illinois students, the results clearly show that this group of students is meeting high achievement targets," Schiller said. "These students, their parents and their schools are setting the pace for our state and nation."
About 11 percent of Illinois' high school students take the SAT, compared to the ACT that is now given to almost all public high school students as a part of the Prairie State Achievement Examination. Each of the SAT I tests is scored on an 800-point scale.
AP results lead nation
On Advanced Placement tests, scores of 4 or 5, the two highest scores, were achieved by 44 % of Illinois students compared to 36 % for students throughout the country. The most popular AP examination subjects for Illinois students in 2001-2002 were United States History; English Literature and Composition; and Calculus.
The State Board provides incentives for schools to increase participation on AP exams. In 2001, the State Board provided fee support for over 2000 students and in 2002 for over 3500 students. Data released today show strong increases in AP test participation for the last several years.
Almost 37,000 Illinois students took AP exams in the 2001-2002 school year, compared to under 33,000 in the previous year. There were 484 Illinois schools with students taking AP examinations in 2001-2002.
The College Board also administers the Advanced Placement tests taken by high school students, often for dual credit with higher education institutions.

This is a sponsored post about summer fun and boredom. Here we are at the end of July and summer fun is kind of in full swing…or alternately, the novelty has worn off for many and kids are starting to tell parents they are BORED. Now, some of us are of the mindset that kids can, will and should make their own entertainment- how many of us were told to go play outside and come back in for lunch? Raise your hands!! But sometimes, a little entertainment can go a long way. Entertainment like silly games…and while maybe you won't want the kids online all day, playing a fun game with the beloved M&Ms characters like ShMuffleboard can be a whole lot of fun for kids- and then you can send them back out with the idea they can create their own version of ShMuffleboard.

GIBSON CITY – Governor Rod Blagojevich today named
Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley High School (GCMS) Driver Education
teacher Judy Weber-Jones as the latest recipient of the
People Are Today's Heroes (PATH) Award for her remarkable
work helping make sure students are safe drivers. The
program created by Weber-Jones has significantly increased
seatbelt usage among young drivers, and significantly
decreased speeding tickets and accidents in the Gibson
City-Melvin-Sibley area since 2004.
"Judy is a shining example of the impact one person
with vision and strong commitment can have to make great
things happen. By teaching students how to be safe drivers,
she's having a real impact on the life of these
kids and their community," said Gov. Blagojevich.
"This truly makes Judy Weber-Jones one of today's
The Governor's PATH Award recognizes groups or
individuals who, through their hard work and commitment,
improve the lives of those in their community and help
Illinois move forward in the areas of health care, public
safety and education. The PATH Award was given to Ms.
Weber-Jones by Randy Dunn, State Superintendent of Education
on behalf of Gov. Blagojevich.
Weber-Jones led her students on a project, which was
inspired by a tragic accident caused by speeding involving
local twin brothers Steve and Greg Arends. Greg Arends
died, but his sibling lived thanks to seat belt usage.
GCMS students produced Safe Driving DVDs, original soundtracks,
and PowerPoint presentations that were shown school-wide
and throughout the community.
"The Illinois State Board of Education and educators
around the state applaud Ms. Weber-Jones's work
to help the children in her community stay healthy and
safe," said Superintendent Dunn.
Students at Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley High School in
Gibson City were inspired to participate in the 2005-2006
Project Ignition program, largely because of the tragic
Arends accident. Project Ignition, sponsored by State
Farm and coordinated by the National Youth Leadership
Council, gives high school students and their teachers
a unique opportunity to work together in addressing the
critical issues of teen driver safety and how it affects
them, their community and the world around them.
Assemblies, a mock accident, seat belt convincer, roll
over demonstration and fatal vision goggles and golf carts
were coordinated with local police, fire, EMT, hospital,
coroner and funeral homes. The impact on the student population
was remarkable.
According to local statistics, since the program was
started in the Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley area:

Our ministry in El Salvador started in 1977 with the Child Sponsorship Program. In 2009, we implemented both the Child Survival and Leadership Development programs.
In July 2008, the ministry in El Salvador obtained facilities that will enable us to deliver new ministries and more effective services to our Implementing Church Partners.
Country Director
Guillermo Enmanuel Munoz Campos joined our ministry in El Salvador as a Partnership Facilitator Supervisor in 1998 and was promoted to Country Director in 2004. Prior to Compassion, Guillermo was a project planner for a company that worked with hydraulic networks and sewage systems. He was also an analyst for an organization that administered retirement funds.
In 1979, Guillermo earned an associates degree in plastic engineering from the Technological Institute of San Salvador, and in 1986 he obtained a degree in industrial engineering from the Polytechnic University. He also holds a diploma in "Total Quality Applied to Education" from the Catholic University of Honduras.
Guillermo experienced poverty first-hand in the early years of his childhood. His father passed away when he was just 6 months old and once Guillermo grew old enough to help out, he had to work in the family business.
When he got a little older, Guillermo worked in a local movie theatre and on cotton plantations. The limitations and challenges he had faced as a young boy only strengthened his resolve to help others be released from poverty. He was taught to give his burdens to God and that poverty can be overcome.
When Guillermo meets with church leaders, children and youth, he is able to share from his own experience as he expresses his passion for the poor.
Implementing Church Partners
Implementing Church Partners are local churches in El Salvador with whom we work to deliver child development programs and ministry in the field.
- Spiritual Climate
Approximately 35 percent of our population is evangelical Christian and the church in El Salvador is growing. However, many Christians are migrating to other places because of crime.
- Unique Challenges
One challenge in El Salvador is the high level of gang activity and crime in many of the urban areas where the Compassion-assisted child development centers are located. Also, there is a lack of community resources such as clean water, electricity, government assistance for education, and parks and playgrounds.
Another challenge we face is high staff turnover at the child development centers. This is often because tutors at the centers look for better opportunities elsewhere.
- Contributions
Our Implementing Church Partners provide classrooms, electricity and, in some cases, clean water through a pipe system or wells. Parents often cook meals and prepare snacks for the children.
- Church-to-Church
Twelve Implementing Church Partners have partnered with churches in the United States with whom they communicate via email. The churches are reporting that some of the benefits thus far are spiritual support, prayer and the ability to share experiences with each other.
- Partner Development Activities
Our ministry in El Salvador develops partners through training on topics such as the program field manuals, curriculum and child advocacy.
In addition, we have staff retreats, Christmas celebrations, an annual meeting for pastors, business fairs for Implementing Church Partners, project-cluster meetings, and the annual Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit for church leaders and pastors. We also provide resource books for Implementing Church Partner pastors and committee members.
Child Survival Program
- Caregiver Literacy
Literacy lessons are given three times a month in the mothers' homes. Some of the topics covered are math, identifying signs, and learning how to write their names.
- Income-Generating Skills
Income-generating skills such as sewing, tailoring, baking and how to make pickled vegetables and jelly are offered once a week.
- Health Care
Child Survival Program staff establish a relationship with the community health clinic to ensure that mothers get pre- and post-natal checkups on time. Mothers usually deliver their babies at these community health clinics as well.
Some clinics will go to implementing church partners to give health screenings to mothers and children free of charge. If they do not provide health screenings, our ministry in El Salvador will pay for checkups given by a medical doctor as well as for medicine and lab tests if needed.
- Nutritional Support
Once a month, each caregiver receives a food basket with nutritional supplies such as Incaparina, a low-cost protein food made of cottonseed, corn and sorghum flours that is used to prevent protein deficiencies.
Malnourished children receive food that is even higher in protein and fat. We also provide education on nutrition as well as workshops on how to make nutritious food for children.
- Involvement of Fathers
Child Survival Program implementers make an effort to invite the fathers to all activities in which their children and wives/partners participate, including workshops, early stimulation sessions and home visits.
In addition, every month fathers are invited to Parents' School where implementers tell them about all the activities their children and wives/partners are engaged in and where they can learn about various topics.
The Child Survival Program is a year old. In our first year, 10 couples who had been living together are now married and the program has sponsored a couples retreat.
- Transition Out of the Child Survival Program
Children who are 2 1/2 years old or older will begin to participate in some of the Child Sponsorship Program activities for 3 to 5 year olds. Their parents can continue to attend Parents' School and some mothers help with snack preparation for children in the Child Sponsorship Program.
- Areas of Expansion for the Child Survival Program
We plan to expand into the central and east areas of El Salvador. These areas have a high level of health problems, limited access to community health centers, and lack clean water, hygiene, early education and job opportunities.
There are also high incidences of teenage pregnancy and many single mothers.
Child Development Through Sponsorship
Your sponsorship of a child in El Salvador provides a variety of benefits.
In El Salvador, 1st- to 9th-grade children go to school five hours per day, either in the morning or the afternoon. High school students attend school 6 to 9 hours per day. Because of this, the younger children are able to come to the child development centers more frequently than the older children:
- Meeting Times
- 3 to 5 year olds: 3 hours a day, 3 days a week
- 6 to 8 year olds: 3 hours a day, 3 days a week
- 9 to 11 year olds: 3 hours a day, 3 days a week
- 12 to 14 year olds: 2 hours a day, 2 days a week
- 15 to 18 year olds: 4 hours a day, 1 day a week
- Nutritional Support
Each child receives a nutritious meal every time he or she goes to the child development center. A typical meal consists of a carbohydrate such as bread or tortillas, and protein such as soy, meat or chicken.
This can include sandwiches, soup, rice pudding, pupusas (tortilla filled with cheese and beans), or enchiladas (tortillas with fried beans, tomato, hard-boiled eggs and cheese).
Since the food crisis in 2007, our child development centers have switched from serving snacks to full meals. Centers provide these meals because not all of the children receive a meal at school.
For those who are underweight and/or malnourished, additional nutritional supplements rich in vitamins and protein are provided.
- Vaccinations
Vaccinations are mandatory in El Salvador and are provided at public clinics at no charge.
- Extracurricular Activities or Community Service
We offer extracurricular activities such as camps, drama, football, painting and museum visits. Community service opportunities include cleanup campaigns, reforestation activities and childcare.
- Vocational Activities
Adolescents need to learn an income-generating skill that is practical, easy to learn and will earn money quickly.
That is why vocational activities such as computer training, tailoring, dress making, beauty, baking, poultry production, fish farming, silk screening, rabbit farming, and bean, corn and vegetable farming are all available for our students. They also receive spiritual teaching and, in some centers, they learn English.
- Job Placement for Adolescents
Some Child Sponsorship Program graduates return to their child development centers to work as tutors, accountants, or in other roles.
- Parent Involvement
We have Parents' School once a month in which parents can learn about a variety of topics. Parents are also welcome to attend camps and workshop activities at the child development centers. They help regularly with food preparation for the children as well.
- Areas of Expansion for the Child Sponsorship Program
We would like to expand in the northern and eastern regions of El Salvador because these are poorer areas that have very few child development centers.
Leadership Development Program
- Universities Attended
LDP students attend private universities.
- Location of Universities
Universities are located primarily in the capital city of San Salvador.
- Working Students
Students work part-time or full-time while attending university. Because of this, it takes them longer to graduate. If a Leadership Development Program student studies full-time, he or she can graduate in six years. In El Salvador it takes approximately five years to earn a degree and then an additional year is spent on a thesis.
- Service Opportunities
Leadership Development Program students can disciple others at their church, tutor children at their child development center, or participate in cleanup campaigns and reforestation activities in their communities.
- Leadership Development Program Meetings
The larger Leadership Development Program group meets every two months to carry out curriculum activities.
- Specialty Curriculum
We cover topics such as dating, courtship and marriage, the biblical view of sexuality, time management, study techniques and Bible study.
- Mentors
We ask ministry staff in El Salvador to become mentors, so at least 60 percent of the Leadership Development Program students have a mentor.
Complementary Interventions
Our core Child Sponsorship Program, while comprehensive, does not address all obstacles to a child's healthy development. Compassion's Complementary Interventions program was created to work with our holistic child development model to provide additional services, such as our AIDS Initiative, Bibles for all children, disaster relief and safe-water projects.
Here are some of the Complementary Interventions we offer in El Salvador:
- Disaster/Crisis
Response to hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, etc.
- Health and Nutrition
Supplemental nutrition for malnourished children, HIV education, food for children during the food crisis
- Infrastructure
Water tanks, latrines, computers, bakery
- Education
National certified curriculum and Bible for all child development centers
- Other
Entrepreneurial funds for children and parents, soccer school for adolescents

Hi! I am a momma new to the forum...My baby was born at 33 weeks and spent 7 weeks in the NICU. In the beginning we breastfed one to two times a day starting around 2 weeks because he wasn't quite strong enough and requiring 02 for feeds. So he wasn't introduced to the breast right away.
We have been home for 2 and 1/2 months and I have been breastfeeding and supplementing with formula. He is taking anywhere from 1 ounce to 3 ounces of formula supplement. Sometimes it is ebm because i recently started pumping after his feeds. However I haven't been doing all of them because sometimes it is not possible...I have estimated his intake is about 4 ounces or so. He is about 11 pounds.
I have also started taking fenugreek 3 times a day (3x600) and using Mothers Tea 3-4 times a day.
When I pump, I usually yield about 2 ounces and haven't seen a signification increase in milk.
My questions are...Are there other suggestions that I'm not trying? To be honest, at times I feel frustrated and wonder if I should switch to all formula because I doubt my ability to increase my milk supply. I really would love to exclusively breastfeed but don't know if this will be possible because of our history.
Will it get easier once he starts cereal?
He has started sleeping from about 8 to 3...would you recommend that I get up to pump around 1 to help my supply? What about power pumping? Anyone see a difference with this?
Oh, so many questions!
Would love to hear some thoughts!
