Report Highlights
The Even Start program is intended to break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy through a unified family literacy program that integrates early childhood education, adult literacy or adult basic education, parenting education, and parent-child interactive literacy activities. Even Start, which began as a federally administered program in 1989-90, became a state-administered program in 1992 when the national funding exceeded $50 million. Since that time, the responsibilities of state Even Start offices have evolved substantially. Initially, each state had relatively few local projects to administer, the state grants were much smaller, and the statutory requirements were fewer and less rigorously defined. However, as the number of local projects grew steadily, the programmatic guidance and leadership provided by Even Start state coordinators to local projects have become increasingly critical in promoting effective programs at the local level.
This study describes Even Start administration at the state level and factors that facilitate or impede program improvement activities conducted by state coordinators. The report is intended to: 1) help federal staff better target their guidance and technical assistance to states; and 2) provide state coordinators with descriptions of program administration practices in other states as a self-assessment guide.
Study Design
The study involved two components:
State Survey. A mail survey sent to Even Start state coordinators in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Completed survey forms were received from 51 state coordinators between November 2001 and February 2002.
Case Studies. Interviews were conducted with state coordinators in 12 states between March and May of 2002, through telephone interviews with six states and site visits to another six states.
When the state survey and the case study interviews were conducted, states were in the process of adjusting to two major changes: 1) the implementation of states' performance indicator systems, and 2) a substantial increase in the Even Start budget (from $150 million in 2000-01 to $250 million in 2001-02). Information presented in this report describes state Even Start operation in the early stages of adjustment to these changes, and may not reflect the current status of related operations.
Key Study Findings
State Even Start Administrative Infrastructure
Even Start is located under early childhood education or K-12 programs in 24 states and under adult education (or programs related to education of adults such as vocational education and community colleges) in 13 states; 14 states operate Even Start under other programs.
Even Start staffing in some states has been very stable, while some states have experienced frequent changes in state coordinators. Over half of the states have had only one or two state coordinators since 1992, and a quarter of the current coordinators are very experienced with nine or more years of experience. However, 17 states have had three or four state coordinators since 1992, and about a quarter of the current state coordinators have had one year experience or less in this position.
Staff resources for Even Start at the state level are limited. In 19 states, Even Start is administered with 0.5 professional full-time-equivalent (FTE) staff and no more than 1.5 clerical FTEs. Most state coordinators have multiple responsibilities other than Even Start; they spend, on average, 49 percent of their time on Even Start duties, and the remaining time on other responsibilities.
Interagency Coordination and Collaboration at the State Level
Nearly three out of four states cited adult education as a major collaborator (37 states). Other common collaborators are Head Start (32 states) and Title I (30 states). Collaborators make multiple types of contributions to Even Start, such as sharing resources, conducting joint staff development activities, holding joint workshops or conferences, and sharing program administrative functions.
Subgrantee Recruitment and Selection
The Even Start statute directs states to give priority to applications that target the areas of the state with high numbers of most-in-need families or that will be located in empowerment zones or enterprise communities. Three-fourths of the states (38 states) described factors that receive priority points including: indicators of high need for a family literacy program (19 states), high poverty rates or similar economic indicators (11 states), and location in an empowerment zone or enterprise community (11 states). States were less likely to assign priority points for high rates of illiteracy and low English proficiency (4 states) or the unavailability of other family literacy services in the area (3 states).
States rarely deny continuation funds to local Even Start projects. In the two years from 2000 to 2002, most continuation applications were funded. Only 20 states reported that they had ever denied continuation funding to at least one project since the beginning of Even Start in 1989. The primary reasons for denying funding were insufficient program management and implementation progress (17 states), low recruitment and enrollment rates (14 states), and low quality and intensity of educational services (11 states).
Only a few states had ever denied continuation funding on the basis of participant outcome data. As part of the performance indicator requirement, all states must now use outcome data as the basis of continuation funding decisions, which will be a new challenge for many states and projects.
When the federal Even Start budget increased by $100 million (67 percent) in 2001-02, the number of new applications more than doubled (a 120 percent increase). States awarded subgrants to about half (49 percent) of the new applicants. In contrast, nearly all of the continuation projects and re-competition applications were funded in both 2000-01 and 2001-02.
Subgrantee Performance Monitoring
On-site visits are the most commonly used method of monitoring local projects' program operations (46 states) and are generally conducted by the state coordinator or other state Even Start staff. Most of the states conduct on-site visits to each project once a year or less often, while 10 states schedule several visits per year to each project.
During on-site visits, a majority of the states focus on compliance and a project's progress in implementing family literacy services. Thirty states indicated that they monitor the quality and intensity of instructional services during site visits. The next most common issues addressed during site visits are the adequacy of the program facilities, staff morale, and staff qualifications. Only eight state coordinators indicated that they examine anything concerning participants (e.g., eligibility, retention rates, academic achievement, and participation records) during the monitoring site visits, and a few states reported that they monitor how well the local projects deal with data collection, reporting, evaluation activities, and fiscal management.
Most states (43) indicated that they have a data collection system in operation for local projects to report program data. Among these states, most indicated that they regularly collected data from local projects on: recruitment and enrollment rates (100 percent of states), hours of service offered (95 percent), participant demographics (88 percent), hours of participation for adults and children (86 percent), retention rates (79 percent), and indicators of developmental progress and goal achievement for adults and children (79 percent).
Development and Implementation of Performance Indicators
States differed greatly in every aspect of Even Start performance indicators that were submitted in June 2001, including the measures used, performance standards set, and subgroups to which the measurements and standards are to be applied. Four areas where further development is needed to enable successful implementation of the system are:
Further development and clarification of the content/specification of performance indicators;
Specific guidance for the implementation process such as: how and where to obtain data collection instruments; data collection, data entry/storage, data reporting processes; and data collection and reporting schedules;
Strategies for staff training to ensure that staff are properly trained to conduct (1) the data collection, especially the administration of standardized assessment instruments; (2) computation of outcome measures; and (3) reporting of each indicator correctly; and
Careful plans and guidelines for the use of indicator data to avoid gaps in data collection and unnecessary demands on local and state staff time, and to coordinate the use of indicator data with local evaluation data.
Most states planned to collect the first round of performance indicator data in 2002. Fourteen states had already begun to collect data in 2001 or earlier. About half of the states plan to collect performance indicator data annually; 15 states, twice a year.
Program Evaluation and Improvement
Half of the states reported that they conduct a state-level Even Start evaluation, although the definition of "state evaluation" may vary among states. Over half of the 24 states that conduct a state evaluation indicated that they used data collected by local projects for the national evaluation as part of the state evaluation.
States also assist local projects with their evaluations by providing technical guidance and training. Over half (28 states) require local projects to collect specific types of data in their local evaluation; most of these states require projects to collect data on families' progress towards educational and economic goals, family demographic data, and hours of participation by enrolled adults and children. About one-third of the states provide training for local Even Start evaluators; 15 states directly coordinate the local evaluation activities for all subgrantees.
Although 42 states said that they collect and review local evaluation reports, only 31 indicated that they use local evaluation data or reports for continuous program improvement (other states may collect the reports mainly as a way of ensuring that local projects are complying with their evaluation requirement). For the 31 states that use the local evaluations, the results are used for purposes such as:
Develop guidelines for the following year's program improvement efforts and determine topics for further technical assistance to local projects (16 states);
Provide project-specific feedback to local projects and to examine program outcomes among all projects in a state (12 states);
Needs assessment for statewide professional development activities (6 states);
Prepare state-required reports (4 states);
Input in making continuation funding decisions (3 states); and
Tool to train local projects on data-based decision-making (2 states).
Need for Continued Federal Input and Assistance
Most state coordinators interviewed who had received the SFLI grant felt that the effective period of the SFLI grant was too short to allow strong partnerships to develop. They also reported that interagency collaboration played a critical role in their ability to administer Even Start and, without continued support similar to the SFLI grant, the role played by interagency collaboration might be weakened.
Based on statements made by state coordinators and the areas of administrative challenges identified in this study, the following types of federal support for the states, in addition to assistance already being provided, would strengthen the leadership roles played by the federal and state Even Start programs:
Comprehensive clearinghouse of information and materials related to topics such as: Even Start legislative and program guidance; family literacy curricula; research-based instructional approaches for early childhood education, adult education, and parenting education; child and adult assessments; family literacy staff development; and local evaluation approaches.
More opportunities for state and local Even Start staff, including their evaluators and technical consultants, to attend high-quality, educational and technical assistance workshops led by national experts.
More opportunities for state coordinators to work together in which state coordinators would take the lead in setting the agenda, presenting effective practices or lessons learned, and conducting collaborative problem solving sessions.
Federal leadership to promote collection of core program and participant data that are comparable across states. Such data would not only serve the federal need for national Even Start data, but also provide the states with a national benchmark to assess their progress.

Good afternoon.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to speak with you again today, and hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving with family and friends. While I would have preferred swirling fall leaves to the snow dump we had on Thanksgiving Eve here in Springfield, I guess it did serve to get everyone in the spirit of the upcoming holidays.
Let me share a few random things with you this afternoon, some updates, some harbingers of work to be done and other potpourri:
Again, I'm sorry the long-winded professor came out in me this week. However, I hope some of this information is helpful as you continue to effectively lead your schools and districts.
Randy J. Dunn
State Superintendent of Education (Interim)
Included in today's message:
New IWAS System - Estimated Best Three Months Average Daily Attendance
A new annual IWAS application is now available entitled Estimated Best Three Months Average Daily Attendance. This application replaces a previous paper request form. Please provide the estimate to the Illinois State Board of Education on or before January 15, 2005. The figure should be the estimated best three months average daily attendance for the 2004-05 school year.
The estimates districts provide will be used by the General Assembly to determine the General State Aid (GSA) appropriation level for the 2004-2005 claim year payable during Fiscal Year 2006. Accurate estimates are invaluable for district level budget purposes, as projected GSA entitlements will be based on these estimated figures.
Invitation to comment on rules
At its November meeting, the State Board of Education released one set of proposed amendments for public comment. This item has been posted on the agency's web site at www.isbe.net/rules; choose "Proposed Rules and Amendments." Please submit any comments or suggestions you may have to email@example.com.
Part 375 (Student Records)
P.A. 93-859, effective January 1, 2005, made the following changes in Section 2-3.13a of the School Code that necessitate amendments to the rules governing Student Records:
· requires the State Board of Education to establish by rule a system for tracking transfer students;
· requires a school or district to count a student who has withdrawn from that school or district as a dropout for purposes of its annual dropout calculation if the school or district does not receive documentation that the student has enrolled in another school within 150 days after the student withdraws; and
· allows a request for student records (academic transcripts or medical records) to be used as documentation of student enrollment.
Currently, Section 5 of both the Missing Children Records Act [325 ILCS 50/5] and Missing Children Registration Law [325 ILCS 55/5] requires that within 14 days of enrolling a transfer student, the school to which that student is transferring must request a certified copy of the student's records from his or her previous school. This requirement is also stated in the rules at Section 375.75(e). Therefore, a requirement already exists for all schools to request records of transfer students enrolling in their schools, thereby providing a mechanism for tracking transfer students to determine whether they have re-enrolled in another school or have dropped out.
In order to make this requirement more prominent, the proposed amendments move Section 375.75(e) to new subsection (b) and add language from the law pertaining to documentation of enrollment and determination of a student's dropout status.
These proposed amendments do not establish additional mandates on schools and districts. Instead, they rely on a mandate currently being imposed by the Missing Children Records Act and the Missing Children Registration Law. Since the effective date of the law is January 1, 2005, using a current mandate as the mechanism for tracking students will enable schools and districts to immediately comply with the provisions of the new law without having to wait for rulemaking to be completed.
Deadline for Public Comment: January 17, 2005
Notice of completed rulemaking
Please be advised that four rulemaking items recently adopted by the State Board of Education are now in effect. These sets of rules have been posted on the agency's web site at www.isbe.net/rules; choose "Rules Currently in Effect" and scroll to the relevant Part number. (If you print only the affected Sections, remember to include the table of contents for the Part, which changes every time the Part is amended.)
Gifted Education (Part 227)
This Part has been repealed in its entirety in response to P.A. 93-21, effective July 1, 2003, which deleted all of Article 14A ("Gifted Children") from the School Code.
Affected Sections: All
Effective Date: November 22, 2004
Summer School for Remedial Education (Part 230)
This rulemaking also responds to P.A. 93-21. This Act repealed made changes in Section 2-3.61 of the School Code to correspond to the deletion of Article 14A on gifted children. The amendments to Part 230 reflect these statutory changes by deleting references to gifted students from the rules that formerly were titled "Summer School for Gifted and Remedial Education."
Affected Sections: 230.10, 230.20, and 230.30
Effective Date: November 22, 2004
Regional Offices of Education and Intermediate Services (Part 525)
This rulemaking also responds to P.A. 93-21, which made changes in Section 2-3.62 of the School Code regarding services required at the regional level. The amendment to Part 525 reflects these statutory changes by deleting the reference to services for gifted students.
Affected Section: 525.110
Effective Date: November 22, 2004
Driver Education (Part 252)
This rulemaking responds to P.A. 93-55. That legislative change took effect on July 1, 2003, and amended Section 27-24.6 of the School Code with regard to who must sign a school district's claim for reimbursement for the driver education program. The previous language of the law required the president or acting president of the school board to sign the claim in addition to the chief school administrator. With the change, either the chief school administrator or "authorized driver education personnel employed by the school board" can prepare and certify the district's claim.
Affected Section: 252.30
Effective Date: November 22, 2004

Dear Congressman Faleomavaega:
I write to request your assistance in identifying "surplus" funds that the federal government may have (according to Candidate Lolo Moliga's presentation to the American Samoa Chamber of Commerce) to extend the dock of the American Samoa Shipyard.
On or about August 2nd, the American Samoa Chamber of Commerce hosted candidates Lolo Moliga and Lemanu Mauga. As a member of the chamber of Commerce, I attended this meeting to listen to what these candidates have to offer for economic development. I also attended previous meetings with other candidates. Throughout the presentation, I kept hearing Candidate Lolo saying that as a solution to our problems that we will go to the federal government for funds. This was their solution for tourism development, education, health, business development, etc. Candidate Lolo also told us that the federal government has a "surplus" of monies. I am very concerned now, because I always believed that the U.S. government is trillions of dollars in debt (according to what I watch and read through many news sources). However, not one person from the Chamber of Commerce disputed Lolo's claim, nor our current leaders or any of the candidates vying for the positions of Governor & Lt. Governor (including your sister and my father-in-law). Now I am wondering, am I the only one that doesn't know that the U.S. government has a surplus of monies?
If there is in fact a surplus of funds somewhere in Washington D.C. as Candidate Moliga assured us, I respectfully request your assistance to identity between $4 to $6 million to extend our shipyard dock to allow more boats to come to be repaired. If you have been on-island lately and noticed the shipyard side of the harbor, we have boats tied up outside of other boats, and we are always full. We can use the extra dock space to service the boats.
Thank you for your time. I would appreciate your response to my inquiry as soon as possible.
cc: The Honorable Togiola Tulafono, Governor of American Samoa
Mr. David Robinson, Chairman, American Samoa Chamber of Commerce
Mrs. Lydia Faleafine-Nomura, Field Representative, Office of Insular Affairs, USDOI

We just seem to forget. We forget why 3M
Or how about that ConocoPhillips
I think this remarkable market cannot recall what went wrong. It seems to forget it so quickly that it's childlike. It forgets its homework constantly. Plus, there were so many negative analysts who downgraded ahead of quarter, which then turned out to be not that bad -- think Microsoft
So what's next for revaluation? There was some worry about United Technologies
And of course, there is ADT
Preposterous, especially because it is a housing play.
I will find out tonight if Allergan
The market doesn't like a quarter? Give it a few days, and all will be forgiven.

Natural?gas has jobs, just not for W.Va.
The good news is that the booming natural gas drilling in West Virginia's Marcellus Shale field "continues to have a positive impact on West Virginia's economy," according to a report from the Department of Commerce's Workforce West Virginia division. But there is concern that too few of these new jobs are being filled by West Virginia residents because for the second year in a row, Gov Earl Ray Tomblin's administration has not provided a key statistic – mandated by the Legislature – about how many of these new jobs are going to out-of-state workers.
According to the latest figures in an article published in the Charleston Gazette early last week, the Department of Commerce's Workforce West Virginia division reported that employment in the oil and gas industries grew by just more than 20 percent in 2012. And average wages also jumped from about $70,000 to $75,680.
But one critical piece of information was left out of that published report. There was no indication just how many of these new jobs created by the boom in Marcellus Shale drilling are going to West Virginia residents and how many are being filled by out-of-state workers.
This is the second year that the Tomblin administration has not seen fit to make this information public, even though that key data about the residency of these natural gas workers was mandated by the state legislature.
Commerce Department officials have added information about race, ethnicity and gender of natural gas industry workers, but "unfortunately there are some details we are unable to provide," according to a spokeswoman for that agency. So it's no surprise that organized labor groups in West Virginia are complaining – with good reason to object – that companies are bringing in out-of-state workers to fill too many of the new jobs.
A few members of the Legislature tried, during a special session late in 2011 that focused on new environmental rules on drilling, to address this workforce issue. These lawmakers wanted language that would require companies to provide a breakdown of employee residency. But industry lobbyists were able to convince Gov. Tomblin to remove this language during closed-door negotiations with the chief executive.
The legislative committee bill would have required companies to disclose this information. But the governor's version of the bill, which was the one eventually passed, instead called for a government study by the Department of Commerce.
The final version did require a review of the number of jobs created for West Virginia residents and called for an annual report on this information by Nov. 1 of each year until 2016. But so far those reports issued last year and again last month make no mention of the residency of natural gas industry workers.
Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette said last year his agency has "no outside resource to gain the information from" and last month Chelsea Ruby, the spokeswoman for the Commerce Department, said the only state agency that probably has the needed numbers is the Department of Revenue and "they are prohibited by law from sharing it."
Steve White, director of the Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation, said the governor assured his group information about employee residency would be disclosed. He said the Legislature clearly asked for the breakdown of in-state and out-of-state workers, but that information has not been made public for "two years in a row."
- ? ?
Meanwhile, a state wildlife official has warned that coyotes have become more common in urban areas of West Virginia. Curtis Taylor, the Division of Natural Resources wildlife chief, told The Associated Press last month that residents will have to learn to live with them.
Taylor said millions of dollars have been spent on coyote control in western states with little or no success. He said when residents there have started killing a lot of them, the coyotes simply increase their reproductive rate.
Charleston humane officer Thaddeous Boggess said he doesn't get many calls about coyotes but merely hears about them. He said when he is out on routine calls, people stop him to tell him they have seen coyotes. Boggess also recommends that residents with pets such as dogs or cats should keep them inside at night or "you are asking for trouble" from any coyote in the area.
One Charleston resident who cares for a colony of feral cats in her neighborhood said two of the cats have been killed in recent weeks and she suspects coyotes are to blame because neighbors have seen coyotes on their property when their pets have gone missing. . .
- ? ?
Finally, in a newspaper career as a reporter and columnist that spans more than 50 years, I have made my share of mistakes that ended up in print and often upset some readers. Mostly it was because of a misspelled name, but a couple of weeks ago, I incorrectly identified two candidates that are already working on their political campaigns for the 2014 election. Fortunately, an official in the West Virginia Republican Party was kind enough to alert me to those errors.
First, I referred to State Sen. Evan Jenkins of Cabell County, who recently switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican so he could run in the GOP primary election next May, as a candidate in the 2nd Congressional District. He actually lives in the 3rd Congressional District where Rep. Nick Rahall, D-WV, has been serving for many years. Jenkins hopes to win the GOP nomination in the 3rd District next year so he can challenge the incumbent Congressman. My second mistake was incorrectly identifying former Maryland state senator – and state party chairman there – Alex Mooney, who is now a resident of West Virginia running as a candidate for the GOP nomination in the 2nd Congressional District. I incorrectly identified him as the current state Republican Party chairman in West Virginia. My thanks to Rob Cornelius of the state GOP press office for catching these mistakes in the original column.

text: Hello to everyone! I am looking for advice and am hoping i can get some answers. My son will be 6 weeks tomorrow. I started off breastfeeding him, but while we were still in the hospital the baby nurses were convincing me that I had to 'top him off' with formula. By them time he was a week and a half old I was told by my ob/gyn to stop nursing due to medication i was going to start. So, of course, i freaked out and stopped nursing. Then, at the advice of a friend, i decided to call his pediatrician to get her thoughts on the meds. They told me to call the children's hospital in the area with whom they are affiliated. The milk bank at the children's hospital told me that i probably could nurse my son even with the meds especially since i was taking the lowest dose possible. Bad thing is that by this point my milk has pretty much dried up. I know that relactation is possible...but here is where it gets difficult for me to decide if it will work for me. I definitly have autoimmune disease and am currently being tested for multiple sclerosis. i know dh will be supportive of whatever I decide to do, but is worried that nursing our son will be more stressful to my body than the stress and guilt i feel everytime i have to make him a bottle of formula!:( And at this point he wont even latch on to my nipple anymore...just kind of plays with it and fusses until he gets a bottle!:( I know people are concerned for my well being, but I really do feel horrible for only giving him a bottle. Its not that i'm opposed to bottle feeding. My daughter was on formula by the time i left the hospital, after a lack of support and help with nursing her, and All of my friends actually never even attempted to nurse their babies, so its not like i get looks for giving a bottle. But, I have always felt like it is something I should do. I felt guilty that I didn't try harder with my daughter, and everytime i hold my son I feel like I should nurse him, its just an urge I have that this is the way it should be...except that its not!:( I've tried to get in contact with a couple of lacation consultants, and they either wont return my messages, or don't really seem to feel that this is urgent or that its something that needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible. So, please, if anyone has ever dealt with this, or at least has some advice for me, good or bad, then i look forward to hearing it!

I like the move. ABCD will have his jersey retired, get inducted into the KO hall of fame, and theGOAT33 will continue to his legacy.
I'm just announcing it so that when you see theGOAT33, you all know who it is.
The name stands for "the Greatest of all time."
The number is in honor of the Knicks' G.O.A.T. Patrick Ewing & Starbury when he was a Net.
Ewing: 3x Eastern Conference Champion[1994, 1999, 2009].
3x All Star[2001, 2003, 2010]

This thread belongs on top of every KO section .. its perfect
I like both names but theGOAT33 is great, i agree with what u said....I actually think Starbury and Ewing were the two greatest players to ever wear number 33
both are great but i like theGOAT33 better. but dude long as you keep posting bruh, you bring the truth all the time bro.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Ya'll know I love me some Ewing. Good move. And, yeah, this funny as hell.
*Thinks of a way to get myself outta this*
All those old players from the 80s played in a different, less physical and athletic era
All the 80's stars would be role players at best if they played now
Magic Johnson = Grant Hill (2010 hill)
Bird = Kapono
Barkley = Mbah a Moute
Jordan = Vince carter (2010 vince)
Moses Malone = Kurt thomas (not sure if hes still playin but he did last year)
Jame Worthy = D League Antoine Walker
Kevin Mchale = Timofey Mozgov
I'm giving this 5 stars because it made me laugh
Edit: ABCD has inspired me, I think I'm gonna go through a name change to lol.
I disagree that the 80s were softer. In the day of hand checks (today), the league rules have changed to protect the scorer, they've added levels of flagrant fouling. To me, this league is MUCH softer (even if more athletic) than the one from the 90s and 80s.
And it's hard to compare athleticism, because in today's day and age we have weight training and exercise sciences beyond what we could have imagined in the 80s, when they barely even had gatorade. These talents, growing up now, would have gone to Nike Basketball Camp, been groomed since the 6th grade with strict training and diet regimes designed to boost their speed, ability and strength. So it's totally impossible to compare.
But I can't disagree more with your comparisons.

aw, man.
my life looks ridiculous right now. actually, it looks hilarious.
well, at least to me.
I know there will be lots of people who won't be laughing when they hear my current undertakings. They will judge and tsk me behind my back. To my face they'll say 'I don't know how you do it' which is french for 'You are a crazy nutjob with messed up priorities.' They'll tell me I am overdoing it, and if I get ill they will say that my schedule, not germs are what are the cause. I know. Other people miss calls or forget to answer texts, but if I miss one, it's because I do do too much.
and I'd love to tell you that's fine if that's what they want to do,it doesn't bother me- but if I'm going to be perfectly honest with you...
I hate it.
I hate clenching my teeth and biting my tongue and trying not to defend myself. I hate that I feel confident that God is telling me to do what I'm doing until I get greeted by the tsk'rs and then the self doubt starts creeping in. I hate that they can't see how it all makes perfect sense.
until it occurs to me that it makes no sense at all.
here's a condensed version to my current lifeprojects:
maintaining a marriage that's approaching it's 20th year(trumpets, please)
caring for 3 kids-- two tweens and a student driver
keeping a home that is filled with the above and 3 pets
working part time on staff at my church
enjoying the company of amazing friends
writing a Bible study
consulting for 3 schools
writing a school newsletter
speaking at 6 upcoming conferences/MOPS meetings/schools
writing an online Bible study for 60 +/- women
attending school at the local community college
and the newest...
registering for 'big girl' college-come spring, I'll be officially enrolled in the Bachelor program at a private Christian college.
Like Joshua, circling around a wall, trusting that it will fall down with a shout, I am doing something crazy right now. Of course not everybody understands it. I don't understand it myself. I don't have time to do this right now. I don't have money to do this right now. I don't even NEED to do this right now for my job or career or anything. But the truth is, at least half of the things on the list above, I wouldn't be doing if it weren't because God told me to do them. (more than half on certain days *cough, cough stinking teenagers, cough cough*) And each thing that added I thought, 'I cannot even imagine one scenario in which this is going to work- I just don't see it'
and here's the kicker that made me try them anyway...
I am following an omniscient God. Do you know what that means? It means HE KNOWS STUFF!!! In fact... HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!!! So why on earth would I follow my own plans that, even with my powers to think things out to the nth degree, are limited at best? Why wouldn't I follow the Guy who has already seen my life through, knows the outcome of any choice I could possibly make, and thinks this path is the one I should take? If God says I should Go to BigGirlCollege, who am I to say it won't work? Why would he tell me to so something that is bad for me?
Any more than I would tell my children to run with scissors, quit doing homework, drink and drive, and take up smoking.
So, like the rest of the study, I'm realizing how important it is that I have an accurate picture of who God is in my heart. Knowing who Jesus is turns out to be the only thing that can really change my behavior. It's the only thing that can help me trust, obey, follow, endure... it's the only thing that can help me press on when something makes no sense. It's the only thing that can make me not worry what others think.
Because God is omnicient, I'm honored to look ridiculous to the world in order to look obedient to my God.
Now, would someone please save the link to this post to send me when I lose my mind and start to think going to BigGirlCollege is too ridiculous?

I hate to post this but My first thought was JLo.
I mean Caspar has done everything else to her and she shrugged it off but maybe CATCHING him did the trick..
In my mind..
Feet aching from pounding that hard pavement in and out of the studio for her daily pap shots,
Jlo ascends the stair with shoes in hand only to see
Caspar with his trans.
She is tied to the bed, wearing that lipstick red outfit Jlo wore on her album cover. JLo"s OWN Jimmy Choo's digging into the bed as Caspar beats her transgender ass with a water softened cat-o-ninetails, droplets flying as he swings…

Döda-Fallet, the dead falls, created by the largest known natural disaster in Swedens history and its outdoor theater with rotating stand.
Now, one can actually walk around in, the formerly one of Sweden's largest waterfalls. The dead falls are now one of the most popular attractions in Jämtland; you can either walk around on your own or join a guided tour. In the summer you can see a nice theatrical performance. Performed by famous Swedish actors in the outdoor theater and it's an incredible experience to watch a scene that is 360C around you.

Name at birth: Sari Gabor
Though officially an actress, Zsa Zsa Gabor is more famous as a whimsical old-school celebrity sex symbol. Married nine times, Gabor made a career of joking about her man-hungry ways and her love of jewelry and furs. (She married her final husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, in 1986, when he was 38 and she was 69; their marriage lasted into the 21st century.) Zsa Zsa Gabor's film credits include the campy Queen of Outer Space (1958), Moulin Rouge (the 1951 version, not Nicole Kidman's 2001 version), and a small role as a nightclub manager in the Orson Welles classic Touch of Evil (1959). Gabor gained fresh notoriety in 1989 after she slapped a Beverly Hills policeman who pulled her over for a traffic violation. Another traffic accident, in 2002, left her temporarily in a coma, and she has been partially paralyzed and in poor health ever since. In 2010 she had a hip replacement after falling out of her bed, reportely while watching the game show Jeopardy! Zsa Zsa Gabor's sisters Magda Gabor and Eva Gabor were also well known; Eva Gabor played the scatterbrained wife in the 1960s TV series Green Acres.
Zsa Zsa Gabor was Miss Hungary of 1936… Her true year of birth is, not surprisingly, a matter of some confusion; most sources agree on 1917, but others list 1918 or 1923… Gabor played the villainess Minerva in the final episode of the 1960s TV series Batman… Zsa Zsa Gabor is the mother of actress Francesca Hilton, her daughter with her ex-husband Conrad Hilton… The name Frederic Prinz von Anhalt means "Frederic, prince of Anhalt," but he is not actually a prince. At age 37 he paid to be adopted by Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt; while the transaction did not make him a prince, he took Prinz Von Anhalt as his legal surname… Prinz von Anhalt made waves in 2007 when, after the death of Anna Nicole Smith, he claimed he was the father of Smith's infant daughter Dannie Lynn. Von Anhalt said he and Smith had carried on a multi-year affair during his marriage to Gabor.

A 2001 federal survey found that oil remained on or under more than half of the sound's beaches.acting to phase out single-hulled oil tankers between 2010 and 2015. But it did so only after Europe's own versions of the Valdez spill. The tanker Erika sank in 1999, coating French beaches, and the Prestige split up at sea in 2002, spreading heavy fuel oil onto Spanish coasts.
"It's quiet in Prince William Sound," said one fisherman. "The ecosystem took one hell of a hit."killer whales mostly eats sea mammals. As the chemicals in the spilled oil were ingested by animals higher on the food chain, the amount of chemicals, called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, accumulated in marine mammals. Researchers theorize that may help doom the transient orca pod at the top of the food chain. They have "no hope of recovery," the Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council researchers concluded.

Sunday Synopsis: 2011 August 13th --- And A Question
Now talking about the Diary reminds me of a question for all my genealogy and writer friends out there. I am working on a piece related to J.P.s position as Superintendent of the County Poor Farm. At one point he mentions the "crazy girl," and transporting her to a hospital for the insane. I dinna have much problem writing about that incident, however, later he actually names the girl, as well as another young woman as patients of the hospital for the insane. I thought it a rather interesting incident, and for myself, I would want the writer of the stories of the Diary to use names and places --- I search diligently for that kind of information. On the other hand, my critique group was of a mind that using names in this instance was inappropriate, and that I should just use first name or an initial. Note: this is a private diary written over 160 years ago.
Let me know your thoughts on this issue.
Now I am asking you, my geneablogger friends to weigh in on this question: Should I use real names and places when writing about an historical event such as this one noted in the Diary? Or should I use just first name or initial?
5 comments:
You'd think that after 160 years it should be OK to use names and places, and that's how I'd vote. But then again, we're information junkies where our ancestors are concerned, and apparently not everyone is of the same mind regarding their own ancestors.ReplyDelete
I'd also vote for using the names. My rule of thumb is that if someone currently living might be hurt by something than I don't include it in a post. But I can't imagine anyone reading about something that happened that many years ago being upset. Someone might potentially read your blog and find it interesting that an ancestor was in a mental institution once upon a time--but I think that they'd just feel like they now had a good story to tell at their next party.ReplyDelete
Joan, I just got back from my travels, so I'm still catching up on reading. My first take on this is to use the names. However, trying to see the other side (as I used to work in Mental Health), currently, confidentiality rules require professionals to not use patient names, but as this person is no longer living, nor is this a matter of professional conduct (you are not her mental health worker), you should be free of this restraint. Even historically, professionals would use initials rather than names--but think of this: aren't those names of asylum inmates listed in census reports? If so, precedent of those 160 year old public records should provide you the freedom to follow suit. Besides, I agree with Greta and Sheryl: I think anyone today looking for info on their relatives from that time period would want to be able to find out. There is a story there for someone. Why deprive them of that find?ReplyDelete
I'd use the names, too. If you don't, some descendant who may be searching will have missed the opportunity to learn more about an ancestor.ReplyDelete
And yes, people read your blog. It's hard to know, though, unless readers leave comments, isn't it?
Coming in late on this one as I'm behind with my reading. My first thought was to use her first name and surname initial. Combined with place that would give someone searching for her enough clues.ReplyDelete
However I also agree that after 160 years it's unlikely there's anyone to be distressed about it, especially if she was admitted to the mental hospital and had no direct descendants.
I think go with your gut instinct on this.

My LO is 9wks old and when he was 3wks old I had to start block feeding due to OS & OALD. I did 4hr blocks and after 2wks of doing that, all the symptoms improved or went away, especially the green/smelly bm's!!
My concern is that I am back at work now and am pumping 3 times during 8hrs. I usually pump in the morning after he eats and then I pump when I get home. Any other time, he is excusively BF. My concerns is that yesterday and today, I have noticed the some of the symptoms I experienced prior to block feeding have return - i.e., feeling fuller, noticing more foremilk when pumping and last night it was a fighting game to get him to stay latched on because he was choking/sputtering.
Has any one experienced the same situation and if so, what did you do to help? I feel that I may have to pump excusively, which doesn't bother me, but I enjoy the bonding time and the convenience of nursing excusively.

The F Club - London's Premier Swingers Club reviews
27 Dec 2010
Went last night (Boxing day)having previously been to the old premises. Whilst the downstairs has yet to open, a lot of thought appears to have gone into the layout upstairs - its a better atmosphere / decoration than the old place.
The issue last night was the cold - no one had put the heating on until it opened! Given it was a swinging club where it is normal to take your clothes off - people were keeping their coats on! As for the toilets, it was so cold you could see your breath! Whilst there are no jacuzzi's, it appears that they are putting in a shower in each of the toilets - so presumably there will be an opportunity to shower at some point although if it remains that cold no one will be using them!
We will be back, the layout is good and hopefully it will be warm enough to have some fun next time.

Change at top for region's Wells Fargo banks
- published_in
- Bank Notes
Farrell will move his office to Denver, where he'll serve as business banking manager for the central Denver team of Wells Fargo and Co. (NYSE: WFC).
It's actually Farrell's second time to say good-bye to Boulder from a banker role. He worked locally in the 1990s for Norwest Corp. Inman has worked for Wells Fargo for 12 years.
As an aside, Michael Matthews, Wells Fargo's market president for metro Denver, lives in Boulder and tries to spend one day a week in the downtown Wells Fargo Bank office at 1242 Pearl St. Wells Fargo has 14 branches in Boulder and Broomfield counties.
Community banks rated
Kudos also go to two local community banks remaining here: AMG National Trust Bank and Flatirons Bank, both in Boulder.
AMG received a five-star rating — the highest available — from Bauer Financial Group Inc., a bank rating and research firm based in Coral Gables, Florida. Flatirons received four stars, a rating considered excellent while five are superior, said Karen Dorway, director of research at the firm. Bauer uses quarterly call report data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and analysis to come up with the proprietary star rankings.
"It's unfortunate that the community banking industry is shrinking, but the two local (to Boulder) ones are doing great," Dorway said. "You have great community banks in Boulder."
Mile High Banks in Longmont, the other community bank based in the region, received a "zero" in the report because the bank is going through Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy, announced in October.
The bank is expected to be sold and recapitalized in 2013 with $90 million in new capital from Strategic Growth Bancorp, an El Paso, Texas-based bank holding company. Mile High Banks owes more than $43 million in debts, according to a bankruptcy court document.
All of Mile High Banks' stock will be bought by Strategic Growth Bancorp for $5.5 million, subject to a court-ordered competitive bidding process in which other potential buyers could come forward.
The bank's name and brand will not change, Dan Allen, bank president, has said in the past.
More ATMs for BBVA
BBVA Compass customers in the region now can use 21 new cash machines for free.
The Cardtronics (Nasdaq: CATM) machines already exist — mostly at Valero Corner Store gas stations, Safeway grocery stores and Costco discount retailer locations.
A new agreement between BBVA Compass, based in Birmingham, Alabama, and Cardtronics now makes them available to BBVA customers.
BBVA has two Boulder branches, a Lafayette office and a Longmont location. The bank's holding company has $63.1 billion in assets and ranks among the 25 largest U.S. commercial banks based on deposit market share.
BBVA customers had 51 ATMs to choose from in Colorado before the new agreement was signed. Now, there are 229 to choose from, including two at Valero gas stations in Broomfield.
How to make a merger
Here's a financial factoid to help round out your knowledge of the local small business market:
Merle Northrop is one of a small but elite cadre of brokers in the region who helps mostly companies with gross sales of $5 million to $25 million to merge or sell — usually when the owners are ready to retire.
Northrop, managing broker at Flatiron Ventures Inc. in Boulder worked on a project recently to merge the accounting and tax preparation firm Ford and Ford CPAs LLC in Boulder into Ford Gibbs & Associates LLC.
As part of the transaction, Denyse Gibbs and husband, Brian Gibbs, a retired Amgen Inc. employee, joined Jack and Mary Ellen Ford at the office at 1818 16th St. in Boulder. The Fords will transition out of the business over the next couple of years, and the Gibbses will transition in, Mary Ellen Ford said in an email.
Northrop said he focuses on marketing mid-market companies with gross sales of $5 million to $25 million. To find the value of a business he sells, he looks at a company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA. A sales price is usually set at a multiple of eight times the EBITDA figure, Northrop said.

The former Exxon Valdez is anchored some six miles off the coast of the Alang shipbreaking yard in India on June 30.
India's Supreme Court this week delivered a ruling that could drastically change the way international ships are dismantled, but in the process cleared the way for the destruction of the ship formerly known as the Exxon Valdez.
The symbol of America's worst oil tanker spill, the vessel is now the Oriental Nicety after a series of ownership changes since the 1989 disaster.
It's been anchored off India since May, when the court blocked it from being beached at the infamous Alang shipbreaking yard. Activists had sued, arguing that importing such ships for dismantling violated the U.N. Basel Convention, an international treaty on hazardous waste transport.
In its ruling Monday, the court acknowledged that violation, drawing praise from activists who want ships recycled using tougher health and environmental standards.
"Hopefully this ruling will be the beginning of the end of the dark ages of ship recycling," Jim Puckett, director of the Basel Action Network (BAN), said in a statement. "Hundreds of poor and desperate laborers have been killed or exposed to hazardous chemicals as a result of the disastrous shipbreaking practices on Indian beaches."
But activists were perplexed when the court exempted the Oriental Nicety.
"Oddly enough, the court acknowledged in its ruling that there may be toxic material in the Exxon Valdez that has not yet been discovered," Colby Self, director of BAN's Green Ship Recycling Campaign, told NBC News.
The court concluded any dangerous material would be "exposed only at the time of actual dismantling of the ship."
"It is made clear that if any toxic wastes embedded in the ship structure are discovered during its dismantling, the concerned authorities shall take immediate steps for their disposal at the cost of the owner," India's top judges wrote in their order, which was reported by The Hindu newspaper and other Indian news media.
More than two decades after the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska, residents offer their advice to the Gulf Coast: Be prepared for a long, rough ride. NBC's George Lewis reports.
Longer term, the question will be whether the broader ruling is enforced.
Self voiced optimism but acknowledged that "political pressure is extremely high given the immediate economic impacts of this measure."
"The upcoming challenge is seeing that officials follow the court order," he said. One scenario, he noted, is that the local pollution control board might just issue a directive "to outwit the court's ruling."
