The proliferation of youth gangs since 1980 has fueled the public's fear and magnified possible misconceptions about youth gangs. To address the mounting concern about youth gangs, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP's) Youth Gang Series delves into many of the key issues related to youth gangs. The series considers issues such as gang migration, gang growth, female involvement with gangs, homicide, drugs and violence, and the needs of communities and youth who live in the presence of youth gangs.
Much of the research on gangs has ignored females or trivialized female gangs.1 Influential early studies of gangs, which for years shaped the research agenda, concentrated almost exclusively on males. The implicit message of these studies was that female gangs were unimportant. Even within the past decade an expert commented: "The notion seems to be that female gangs and their members are 'pale imitations' of male gangs" (Spergel, 1995, p. 90).
Given the lack of research, much of what has been written about female gangs and then reproduced in textbooks has been based on the reports of journalists and social workers and on the statements of male gang members. With the exception of a very few early studies, gang researchers did not begin to take female gangs seriously until the 1980's, when Campbell's (1984a) book on New York gangs appeared. Even now, there continue to be methodological problems with many reports on female gangs. This Bulletin summarizes both past and current research on female gangs and draws attention to programmatic and research needs. It considers the underlying reasons for female gang membership, assesses the delinquency and criminal activity of female gang members, examines how ethnicity and gender norms may influence female gang behavior, and discusses the long-term consequences of gang membership for females. It concludes with some proposals for future research.

1. Be prepared. Just like you would plan a date or activity with a friend, plan for your client meetings. Review client files. Identify unmet needs. Learn more about the industry in which the client operates. Create a meeting agenda and a list of questions to ask. Benchmark client financial statistics vs. their industry or peers.
2. Be thoughtful. We want to be friends and share our lives with people who are thoughtful. When you are thoughtful, others are more inclined to be thoughtful in return. Mail or email articles you think your client might like. Be respectful of their time. Be complimentary. Actively listen. Ask about and follow up on life events like vacations, community activities and children's accomplishments.
3. Keep your promises. Failing to keep your word can destroy the trust in a relationship. Set realistic deadlines—and keep them. Do what you say you will do.
4. Share your interests. Relationships deepen when we share our interests with each other. Ask your clients about their interests out of the office. Find out what you have in common. Invite your clients to attend events with you. Plenty of business is conducted on the golf course, at the ball game, at dinner after the theatre, and at charitable functions.
5. Discuss the big things. Relationships are built through meaningful conversation. Ask your clients about their vision, goals and plans for the future. Be willing to have the difficult conversations. Understand their expectations for services you are delivering to them.
6. Listen. Most people talk at about 150 words per minute; we listen at three to four times that rate. This gives us plenty of time to be distracted and not hear what our clients are telling us. Pay full attention. Actively listen, which includes looking at the person talking, taking notes, asking questions, and using nonverbal cues like making eye contact, nodding your head, and smiling.
7. Be able to laugh at yourself. Having a sense of humor is one of the keys to a successful relationship. Enjoy the time spent with clients. Admit when you make a mistake and quickly correct it.
8. Be open to new ideas and experiences. The needs and goals of your clients may change over time. Be open to ideas that clients suggest. Consider new and different ways to do what you already do. Learn new services and specialties that will be of value to your clients.
9. Be available. It is impossible to build relationships without spending time together. Arrange face-to-face time during the year other than when the primary engagement is being performed. Be responsive to client requests. Return voicemail and email messages promptly.
10. Be willing to give all of your attention. Giving your client 100 percent of your attention is bonding and powerful. When meeting in person, eliminate disruptions, take notes, actively listen and mute your smartphone. When talking on the telephone, focus on your conversation. Do not check your email, review reports or tax returns. Focus on the client at hand.
11. Be proactive. One of the main reasons clients change CPA firms is that their CPA is not proactive enough. Anticipate client needs. Suggest additional services. Spend face-to-face time throughout the year. Provide ideas.
12. Be friends. Build your client base with those people you enjoy spending time with.
By implementing these 12 tips, just as you would when building friendships and courting your spouse or significant other, you will build longer-lasting, significant client relationships.
Jean Marie Caragher is president of Capstone Marketing, providing marketing consulting services to CPA firms that include brand surgery, marketing and strategic planning, inbound marketing, retreat facilitation, and training. Contact Jean at 858-737-4762 or email@example.com.

The magazine has re-released the piece it published in early 1985, just before Jobs was fired
Relations between Steve Jobs and John Sculley were already deteriorating when Jobs, then 29, sat down for a long interview with Playboy. The story was published in the magazine's February issue. Three months later, Sculley relieved Apple's co-founder of his duties as head of the Mac division.
Jobs puts on a brave face, but you get a feeling toward the end of the interview that he sensed his days at Apple AAPL might be numbered.
JOBS: There's an old Hindu saying that comes into my mind occasionally: "For the first 30 years of your life, you make your habits. For the last 30 years of your life, your habits make you." As I'm going to be 30 in February, the thought has crossed my mind.
PLAYBOY: And?
JOBS: And I'm not sure. I'll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I'll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I'm not there, but I'll always come back. And that's what I may try to do.
The key thing to remember about me is that I'm still a student. I'm still in boot camp. If anyone is reading any of my thoughts, I'd keep that in mind. Don't take it all too seriously. If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you've done and whoever you were and throw them away. What are we, anyway? Most of what we think we are is just a collection of likes and dislikes, habits, patterns. At the core of what we are is our values, and what decisions and actions we make reflect those values. That is why it's hard doing interviews and being visible: As you are growing and changing, the more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you that it thinks you are, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to go, "Bye. I have to go. I'm going crazy and I'm getting out of here." And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little differently.
You can read the rest of the interview here. Its preceded by a long preamble that describes Apple as a "giant firm with 1.4 billion dollars in revenues in 1984." Apple's revenues in 2010 topped $65 billion.
Below: Jobs explains how a computer works in terms a 1985-era Playboy reader can understand.
PLAYBOY: Maybe we should pause and get your definition of what a computer is. How do they work?
JOBS: Computers are actually pretty simple. We're sitting here on a bench in this cafe [for this part of the Interview]. Let's assume that you understood only the most rudimentary of directions and you asked how to find the rest room. I would have to describe it to you in very specific and precise instructions. I might say, "Scoot sideways two meters off the bench. Stand erect. Lift left foot. Bend left knee until it is horizontal. Extend left foot and shift weight 300 centimeters forward …" and on and on. If you could interpret all those instructions 100 times faster than any other person in this cafe, you would appear to be a magician: You could run over and grab a milk shake and bring it back and set it on the table and snap your fingers, and I'd think you made the milk shake appear, because it was so fast relative to my perception. That's exactly what a computer does. It takes these very, very simple-minded instructions—"Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number"—but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.
That's a simple explanation, and the point is that people really don't have to understand how computers work. Most people have no concept of how an automatic transmission works, yet they know how to drive a car. You don't have to study physics to understand the laws of motion to drive a car. You don't have to understand any of this stuff to use Macintosh—but you asked [laughs].

Hey--i read all your comments in that incredibly long discussion. I really admired how persistent you were, and how patient, despite the name-calling and refusal to really read what you had to say. About the promiscuity thing--you shouldn't have backed down.
*The average male homosexual has 251 sexual partners in his lifetime. (Journal of Sex Research, 1997)
*80% of homosecual men have an STD (WW Darrow, D Barrett, K Jay, and A Young, reported in American Journal of Public Health 71 (9), 1981)
*Danniger study 1991: 83% infidelity rate for homosexual men in a committed relationship.
I don't want to be mean-spirited. I have gay friends, and I don't respect them any less than my straight friends. I'm not sure exactly what I think about gay marriage, though I think that I agree with you that civil unions are a better idea. I just wanted to post this because I felt sorry for all the flack you were taking, just because you had a different opinion.
|By Allena (Allena) on Sunday, July 11, 2004 - 04:09 pm: Edit
251 sexual partners in a lifetime??? That sounds a bit high for anybody regardless of sexual orientation.
|By Asianalto (Asianalto) on Sunday, July 11, 2004 - 04:14 pm: Edit
Do I even know 251 people?
|By Magoo (Magoo) on Sunday, July 11, 2004 - 04:28 pm: Edit
hmmm...i was apart of that thread, i don't believe that she was insulted anymore than someone else who was there...I don't respect them any less than my straight friends...hmmm?

Just a quick note to let you all know that the featured flutterings will be delayed for a few weeks.
I recently found out that the owner of the house where I rent is letting it go back to the bank so we had to move out as soon as possible. Ugh. We worked hard and found a house within a week and now we are working on getting everything moved.
My time online will be limited as will my internet access so instead of stressing about trying to get the featured flutterings posted, I have decided that I will post all the featured creations once I'm moved and settled.
The challenges will still be posted on time though and will be ready for you to play along!! Can't wait to see what you create!!
Thank you so much for your understanding!!

text: Just wanted to give an update on my situation in Seattle, WA: I ordered service over the phone on 1/8 to become active on 1/11. On 1/11, I went to the Comcast service center in Seattle to pick up a card. Finally got my number called, got to a rep, told her, she looked up my account, and told me something that every rep always tells me: "You don't need a card with Limited Basic!". Every time I have to tell them that yes, if I want to recieve the HD versions of the local channels, I need the card. This rep told me that she still wouldn't give me one. I told her that if she refused it would be a violation of the FCC rules. She gave a nervous laugh, which I'm not sure if it meant "Oh geeze I have to deal with a customer that thinks they know our policies better than I do" or "Oh crap this guy actually knows what the heck he's doing". Halfway through the laugh she slid off her stool and slipped in to the manager's office. She appeared a few minutes later with a card in hand and explained to me--as if she was doing me a tremendous favor--that her manager was going to go ahead and "let" her give me one "this time" and that there would be a $2.20 charge. I asked if that was one time or per month. She said it would be per month. I just shurgged it off and said that I'd call Billing and have them remove it because she certainly wasn't going to. She informed me that I could go ahead and call billing. I said "Oh yeah, I'll talk to them...or your manager." She ignored that last bit. On 1/11 I had my TiVo all set up with a borrowed TV but forgot my remote. I wasn't able to get the remote until 1/14, at which time I activated my internet and CableCard online. The CableCard portion was painless and fast. If there's anyone out there that has a Comcast-approved modem--active or not--I highly advise you visit activate.comcast.com (or .net?) instead of calling them up. Got my first bill in the mail today, 1/17. I see two charges--a prorated $2.20 monthly charge for a "Digital Converter" and a $5.00 generic charge for a "Digital Remote". The converter was added on the 11th and the remote the 9th. So I called up the Billing department, informing them that I was "being charged for a converter but I don't have one." The rep took a look at my bill, noticed that I had a CableCard and said that it's less than a cable box but still has a monthly charge. I reminded him that the first card is included in the outlet fee. He disagreed, and before I could argue further I got another call that I had to take. Called back and gave the same story to a different rep. He was initially unsure about why I needed the card, but after explaining it, he said that "normally" you get those on 5.1 and shouldn't need the card. I mentioned that the pricing booklet that I got in the mail says "CableCard (first card in device)" is $0.00, so he said he'd check on that charge and asked me to see if I could get channel 5.1. Unsurprising (to me), I can't. So apparently the "repair department" gave him the correct information and he found out that indeed there should be no charge. I asked about the "Digital Remote" charge, and after not seeing it initially, he checked another spot and wasn't sure exactly what that was for; perhaps I was being mailed a remote (note that this charge was added before I ever mentioned CC to any rep). While he was reversing that, the call dropped. Called back and found out that he had taken care of everything and that my bill dropped by $7. Moral of the story: Yes, you can get a CableCard with "Limited Cable" (AKA "Limited Basic") and no, you shouldn't be charged for it.

In high-pressure Sweet 16 games, momentum is critical, and few plays can swing it faster than a jaw-dropping slam dunk. Luckily for fans—not to mention the teams remaining in the 2013 tournament field—there are plenty of world-class dunkers to be found among the remaining title contenders.
Syracuse has the luxury of having two of the best, and they can often be found setting each other up for an electrifying finish. When Michael Carter-Williams isn't lofting an alley-oop for C.J. Fair, Fair is spreading out the defense to help Carter-Williams attack the rim himself.
Read on for more on the Orange arsenal and the rest of the 16 most impressive rim-rockers you'll find in the 2013 Sweet 16, ranked by a combination of the quality and quantity of their jams.

LA CROSSE, Wis. -- A La Crosse woman is sentenced for her role in the overdose death of a man whose body was found in a north side park.
38-year-old Christina Lorenz will spend four years in prison for the death of Anthony DuCharme.
Lorenz pleaded guilty in April to a reduced charge of second-degree reckless homicide. A hiding a corpse charged was dismissed, but considered at sentencing.
Prosecutors say Lorenz and Cain Moss purchased a Fentanyl patch, a narcotic painkiller, and gave it to Ducharme August 2, 2011 at Moss' father's home.
After finding Ducharme dead a while later, Cain and Robert Moss and Patrick Valiquette allegedly dumped Ducharme's body at Red Cloud Park.
Lorenz and Cain Moss were charged with first-degree reckless homicide charges. Cain Moss is scheduled to appear in court July 30. He also faces a charge of hiding a corpse.
Robert Moss was sentenced in March to a year in prison after pleading no contest to hiding a corpse.
Patrick Valiquette was sentenced in May to five years probation after pleading to being party to the crime of hiding a corpse.

Despite my inescapable sarcasm [in this post], we did have a nice time.
It was a bright sunny Sunday. John and I could have been home leisurely sipping wine on the front porch, but after two months of virtually zero "summer fun" we gave in. You could say Alice's arm was the straw that broke the camel's back. I felt so guilty that she'll be missing out on the last three weeks of summer stuff that I gathered my courage and coin to take her and little Dot to the Big Apple.
That morning we got up and went to church at 0-dark-thirty, and drove towards New York.
We're going to do this. We're really going to do this…
Howdy Dudey Time—- GO!
NYC tip #1 – There's a great parking garage two avenue blocks from the front steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's on 82nd St. between Lexington and Park Ave.
It didn't take long for Dottie May to appear on the wrong side of the rope. Alice was trying to reason with her and get her down before she got yelled at. Alice was too late…
NYC tip #2 – The Met is for kids over 7 years old and prodigies of all ages. To older kids it will be as exciting as a field trip but since you'll be going on a weekend or holiday there won't be any "playing hooky" feeling…so it'll probably be boring to them anyway unless they're art or history enthusiasts.
All John wanted to do was eat a hot dog ever since he saw the stand in front of the museum. Dot asked to go home about 4 times within the first hour. I tiger-momed my way through the American Art Wing and Egyptian artifacts.
Did you know you're not allowed to give your kids piggy back rides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? It's true. John tried giving Dot a lower piggy back ride with her legs by his waist, but he still got yelled at.
The girls loved seeing the armor and swords, after that, they were dying to get outta there. Our original plan was the spend the entire day at the Met. When I think about it now I feel like one of those new dumb moms that brings their baby to a movie when they're 2. Oh, and I've done that as well. Tangled!
Since we were right next to Central Park we decided to take a walk towards the zoo, a very kid-friendly thing to do. We bought overpriced water and ice pops, hoofed the stroller up and down hills. Just another leisurely Sunday in the park…in New York CITY. We came to NY-City to go to a park?
NYC tip #3 – Save lots of money and bring water and snacks.
Once we arrived I forgot how small the zoo is. There's literally five different species to see… Dot needed to make sure that I saw the seals. Look! LOOOOK!
The penguin tank looks like it hasn't been cleaned since my last visit, over 10 years ago.
Afterwards we continued south towards FAO Shwartz. We bought the kids a couple things which was the highlight of the entire day.
We were D-O-N-E after that… The girls got there very first cab ride that afternoon- 20 blocks for $6.50. Not bad!
NYC tip #4 – Take (a car seatless) cab ride if you're not going far. The subway is about $2 per person. Do the math and you might find that a taxi is cheaper and way easier than lugging your stroller up and down those stairs.
Then Dot fell asleep. Thank you Jesus…
If you're in the Upper East Side and want something casual go to Five Mile Stone. Very friendly, very quiet, and a superb tap list of micro brews. We were originally supposed to go to a "kid-friendly" tourist trap, but I decided that food is of the utmost importance, and food shall be the priority; as opposed to my "kid's dining experience." —>give me a break.
NYC tip #5 – Treat yo'self for dinner. Your entire day doesn't have to be about your kids! They'll be so tired that a chair and some crayons will (should) be enough. Ask a local for a good place to eat.
If you want to take this day trip:
- Park at that spot I told you about, 82nd between Lex. and Park.
- Walk west towards the Met.
- Walk south to the Central Park Zoo.
- Walk south towards the bottom of the park. You'll see the Apple Store and FAO.
- Cab it back up north via Madison Ave. (that street goes in the right direction) towards 85th and 2nd Ave.
- Stroll back to the car.
Do you have any New York City day trip ideas? Leave a tip in the comments and I'll tweet it! Thanks for reading and have a great rest of the week. I'll be posting a go to artichoke recipe along with Pin Your Friday Favorite later on. Bye bye!

Deuteronomy 30:9-14; Psalm 25:1-10; Colossians 1:1-14; Luke 10:25-37
Deuteronomy speaks of
restoration, of the people's return to God and to the land. Over and
over again we read that God will prosper those who follow God's laws.
Luke 10:1-11, 16-20
Members of my household are preparing for a journey that will involve both regular and light backpacks. Regular hiking backpacks are made to hold a vast amount of gear—you strap them on when you go to the woods for a week or more.
Luke 10:25-37
When a lawyer asks Jesus about eternal life, Jesus turns the question back to the lawyer, and the lawyer answers, citing scripture (Deuteronomy and Leviticus). The lawyer circles around one more time, this time asking a question with a history of interpretation: who is one's neighbor? Jesus responds by telling the story of the Good Samaritan.
Isaiah 66:10-14; Galatians 6:(1-6), 7-16; Luke 10:1-11, 16-20
Gordon Lathrop evokes Gerard Manley Hopkins when he speaks of
the "gear, tackle and trim of pastoral ministry." Luke's account of the
sending of the 70 describes just that: our gear.

Everyday Demons

- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Their chops aren't superhuman, and groupie-trouble ballads drown Cormac Neeson's high wail. But when they up the tempos, they kick it.
MojoEveryday Demons ticks all the hard rock boxes. That there isn't a single orginal idea on display here doesn't actually matter. [Mar 2009, p.105]
Q MagazineTheir second should eclipse even that [100,000 copies of their first album sold], given the songwriting strides they've taken since. [Apr 2009, p.97]
Apart from two minor issues, the Answer has the right sound and feel on Everyday Demons and that does make them the perfect opener for latter day AC/DC: they work as pleasant appetizer for the main course.
Everyday Demons will satisfy metal fans who are in between favorite albums, but if your tastes don't run along the lines of The Simpsons' Otto the bus driver, you can take a pass.
Their default position is to panel it: hard-driving Zep-worship so unvarying in its pace that Everyday Demons comes on like one long undead riff plus a lot of yawled guff about about being an 'Evil Man' with 'Demon Eyes.'
UncutIt painstakingly captures the carefree spirit of hard rock as you'd have found it halfway down the bill a Reading Rock, 1998. [Apr 2009, p.78]

Director and sometime-actor Kevin Smith (a.k.a. Silent Bob) mentioned on his blog earlier this week that he saw a sneak preview of Watchmen…and that it kicks ass!
Here's what he wrote:
"I saw Watchmen. It's f**king astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off. Remember that feeling of watching Sin City on the big screen and being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you'll come close to watching Watchmen. Even Alan Moore might be surprised at how close the movie is to the book. March can't come soon enough."

The jewel in the Delaforce crown comes in the form of the spectacular Quinta da Corte estate. This splendid property, whose reputation for excellence dates back to the 1700s, consists of 90 acres of immaculately tended vines planted on neatly terraced slopes overlooking the Torte River. Probably the most photographed location in the entire Douro Valley, it is Delaforce's principal source of grapes. Corte's 25 - 30-year-old vines form the backbone for the firm's premium Reserve Tawnys and Vintage ports.
Winemaker Nicholas Delaforce is the sixth generation in his family to carry on the Delaforce tradition. Unusually, since the roles are traditionally kept separate among port producers, Delaforce is both winemaker and blender at Delaforce. Though still in his early 30s, he has already established a formidable reputation among wine writers and port connoisseurs as a stellar producer of world-class port.

It may not have the prettiest name, but bloodroot is a lovely wildflower with delicate white petals surrounding a yellow center. It's one of the earliest perennials to bloom in the spring, producing flowers from March to May. Bloodroot can grow into large colonies, making it a good choice for naturalizing a shade garden or wooded area.
Bloodroot grows 6 to 10 inches tall, with a single bloom per stalk wrapped in a large, deeply scalloped leaf. The flowers open during the day and close up at night. The petals usually fall within a few days of flowering. A double-flowering form is especially prized for its larger flowers, which last longer than single ones.
A native of eastern North America, bloodroot is found from Quebec to Florida and as far west as Nebraska and Texas. It prefers the kind of environment found under tall trees, with a rich, moist, acid soil and part to full shade. The plants spread by rhizomes or by ants spreading the seeds. Compatible plantings include Jack-in-the-pulpit, mayapples, and trillium. Bloodroot can be planted from seed or from transplants purchased at a nursery or garden center.
Plant bloodroot in soil containing a high amount of organic matter. A good method is to spread a 1- to 2-inch layer of Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil over the planting area, then work it into the native soil. Spreading bark mulch over the area after planting will emulate the conditions the plants would experience in the wild. Feed your bloodroot plants in the spring with a continuous-release plant food, such as Miracle-Gro® Shake ?n Feed® Continuous Release All Purpose Plant Food.
Bloodroot's name comes from the red juice that is found in the plant, mostly in the rhizomes. Although the juice has been used by Native Americans and others for medicinal purposes, it is considered toxic and should not be ingested.

Reclamation Awards $6,487,408 Deer Flat Dam Contract
Media Contact: John Redding, (208) 378-5212
Larry Wolf, (208) 378-5220
For Release: September 24, 2007
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $6,487,408 contract to Record Steel & Construction (RSCI) of Meridian, Idaho, for Safety of Dams work on the outlet works at the Deer Flat Dams Upper Embankment. The Deer Flat Dams are located about 25 miles west of Boise, Idaho.
The modifications are necessary to correct a seepage deficiency identified by Reclamation in 2004. An emergency was declared on May 13, 2005, and an emergency berm was placed around the Caldwell Canal outlet works intake tower as a temporary measure. The reservoir was also restricted 5 feet in elevation. Daily monitoring will continue until the modifications are completed.
"Reclamation is committed to ensuring that our dams remain safe and fully operational," said Reclamation Commissioner Bob Johnson. "This work at Deer Flat Dams is essential to public safety while also maintaining it as reliable source of irrigation water for southwestern Idaho."
Much of the construction will center on the removal and replacement of the Caldwell Canal outlet works conduit. The modifications will also include removing and replacing a 20-foot downstream section of the Nampa Canal outlet works. A new access road to the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters will be completed under a separate contact in order to provide access to the headquarters while construction takes place on the Upper Embankment.
The Modification Report for Deer Flat Dams Upper Embankment was approved by Congress earlier this month when a 30-day waiting period expired clearing the way for the award. RSCI has until the end of January 2009 to complete the work.
The Deer Flat Dams, consists of four earthfill structures referred to as the Upper, Middle, Lower, and East Dike, they were constructed by Reclamation in 1906-1908. Together the four embankments form Lake Lowell, which is a part of the Boise Project, Arrowrock Division.
Lake Lowell stores about 173,100 acre-feet of water when full and provides irrigation water to 50,350 acres while also offering additional recreation and wildlife benefits. The Deer Flat Dams are operated by the Boise Project Board of Control.

Sending more children to private school would add billions of pounds to Britain's economy, a new report claims.
Increased competition between independent schools could have raised GDP by £5,800 per person, according to Incentive to invest: how education affects economic growth, a study from the Adam Smith Institute.
The report compared Britain, where about 7 per cent of children are privately educated, with the Netherlands, where the state pays for about two thirds of children to attend independent schools.
It said Britain's average annual growth rate between 1960 and 2007 would have been almost one percentage point higher if the

The Dream Is Now
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Davis Guggenheim's The Dream Is Now is an emotional 30-minute documentary that supports comprehensive immigration reform, including the Dream Act and other legislative and presidential efforts, and openly calls people to come together to support these efforts. The personal stories shared here (including one about a teen suicide) are troubling and may be tough for sensitive viewers to handle, but they're offered within context and as way of countering negative stereotypes about undocumented U.S. residents. The film also sends a strong and positive message about ways in which young people have empowered themselves to promote change. YouTube, Facebook, and other digital media are highlighted as resources to seek help, spread awareness, and mobilize civil action. Young viewers, especially those touched by this issue, might be interested, but it's really intended for teens and adults. (Note: The film is available to stream here.)

What's the story?
THE DREAM IS NOW details the negative impact of failed attempts to pass comprehensive American immigration reform -- and the efforts of people across the country to do something about it. Directed/produced by An Inconvenient Truth filmmaker Davis Guggenheim and produced by immigration reform advocate Laurene Powell Jobs, the film chronicles what it's like to live as a talented but undocumented young adult in America. To do so, it introduces viewers to aspiring doctor Ola Kaso, student/activist Erika Andiola, U.S. Marine hopeful Alejandro Morales, and Jose Patino, a graduate of Arizona State University's engineering program. The Dream Is Now also chronicles the tumultuous political journey of The Dream Act, which, if passed, will grant conditional permanent residency to certain undocumented residents who emigrated to the United States as minors. Throughout it all, the film reminds us of how the conversations and events surrounding immigration are having a direct impact on America's political, economic, and social landscape -- including the growing power and impact of the Latino vote.
Is it any good?
This film successfully challenges many of the preconceived notions people have about what who illegal residents are, what they do, and their impact on society. From Phoenix, Ariz., to Ann Arbor, Mich., The Dream Is Now weaves together the political story behind Congress' inability to pass/agree on immigration reform and the emotional personal narratives of accomplished young adults who were illegally brought into this country as children and aren't being allowed to become contributing members of American society despite being committed to serving the United States in some way. The film also underscores the real challenges that these young people face every day because of their undocumented status: like not having a Social Security number, coping with prevailing stereotypes about who illegal immigrants really are, and living in fear of invasive law enforcement practices and of being deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Dream Is Now -- which takes a clear political position on this hot-button issue -- is a call to action for residents in the United States, legal or otherwise, to mobilize in order to pass the Dream Act and/or other legislation designed to assist the undocumented population in this country. Because of its brief 30-minute time frame, it isn't able to address many of the details surrounding this extremely complicated issue. But it shows how America's young people are willing to come together to change something that's broken.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the history of immigration in the United States. America is historically known as a country made up of immigrants. So why is there so much discussion about immigration today? How do news stories, entertainment shows, and other media talk about immigration and undocumented residents? Is the media responsible for existing stereotypes about who undocumented people are?
What are the different ways that people use film, TV, and digital media to change the way that governments, corporations, and other institutions do things? Why? If you wanted to raise awareness about an issue and/or get people to come together to take an action, how would you use the media to help you get it done?
Some media, like news stories and documentaries, are often expected to be objective in the way they present issues. Do you think it's OK for a documentary to take a position on an issue? Why or why not?

Listen to this man!
This is well-worth reading. Eric Dondero, a former personal assistant and senior aide to Ron Paul, has written a lengthy statement about his former boss, and what kind of guy he is. He covers a lot of ground, and moves well beyond the questions of whether Paul is racist ("In short, no") or homophobic ("Well, yes and no"). Dondero takes particular umbrage with Paul's foreign policy views, as well as a widely-unreported incident regarding one Nadia Hayes, a former Paul campaign manager who, Dondero implies, was framed for embezzlement by other Paul staffers. It's a fascinating firsthand account of Paul and, in its own odd way, one of the better political profiles we've read in a while.
STEP 1: Speak the truth on Fox.
STEP 2: Get fired.
When Will We Attack Syria? Plans, rumors, and war propaganda for attacking Syria and deposing Assad have been around for many months. This past week however, it was reported that the Pentagon indeed has finalized plans to do just that. In my opinion, all the evidence to justify this attack is bogus. It is no more credible than the pretext given for the 2003 invasion of Iraq or the 2011 attack on Libya. The total waste of those wars should cause us to pause before this all-out effort at occupation and regime change is initiated against Syria.
There are no national security concerns that require such a foolish escalation of violence in the Middle East. There should be no doubt that our security interests are best served by completely staying out of the internal strife now raging in Syria. We are already too much involved in supporting the forces within Syria anxious to overthrow the current government. Without outside interference, the strife—now characterized as a civil war—would likely be non-existent.
Whether or not we attack yet another country, occupying it and setting up a new regime that we hope we can control poses a serious Constitutional question: From where does a president get such authority? Since World War II the proper authority to go to war has been ignored. It has been replaced by international entities like the United Nations and NATO, or the President himself, while ignoring the Congress. And sadly, the people don't object. Our recent presidents explicitly maintain that the authority to go to war is not the U.S. Congress. This has been the case since 1950 when we were taken into war in Korea under UN Resolution and without Congressional approval. And once again, we are about to engage in military action against Syria and at the same time irresponsibly reactivating the Cold War with Russia.
We're now engaged in a game of "chicken" with Russia which presents a much greater threat to our security than does Syria. How would we tolerate Russia in Mexico demanding a humanitarian solution to the violence on the U.S.-Mexican border? We would consider that a legitimate concern for us. But, for us to be engaged in Syria, where the Russian have a legal naval base, is equivalent to the Russians being in our backyard in Mexico. We are hypocritical when we condemn Russian for protecting their neighborhood interests for exactly what we have been doing ourselves, thousands of miles away from our shores. There's no benefit for us to be picking sides, secretly providing assistance and encouraging civil strife in an effort to effect regime change in Syria.
Falsely charging the Russians with supplying military helicopters to Assad is an unnecessary provocation. Falsely blaming the Assad government for a so-called massacre perpetrated by a violent warring rebel faction is nothing more than war propaganda. Most knowledgeable people now recognize that the planned war against Syria is merely the next step to take on the Iranian government, something the neo-cons openly admit. Controlling Iranian oil, just as we have done in Saudi Arabia and are attempting to do in Iraq, is the real goal of the neo-conservatives who have been in charge of our foreign policy for the past couple of decades. War is inevitable without a significant change in our foreign policy, and soon.
Disagreements between our two political parties are minor. Both agree the sequestration of any war funds must be canceled. Neither side wants to abandon our aggressive and growing presence in the Middle East and South Asia. This crisis building can easily get out of control and become a much bigger war than just another routine occupation and regime change that the American people have grown to accept or ignore. It's time the United States tried a policy of diplomacy, seeking peace, trade, and friendship. We must abandon our military effort to promote and secure an American empire. Besides, we're broke, we can't afford it, and worst of all, we're fulfilling the strategy laid out by Osama bin Laden whose goal had always been to bog us down in the Middle East and bring on our bankruptcy here at home.
It's time to bring our troops home and establish a non-interventionist foreign policy, which is the only road to peace and prosperity. This week I am introducing legislation to prohibit the Administration, absent a declaration of war by Congress, from supporting — directly or indirectly — any military or paramilitary operations in Syria. I hope my colleagues will join me in this effort.
Call your representative's in congress today, and tell them to say NO to war in Syria.

A new controversy surrounding MLA Darryl Hickie is a shameful episode in partisan politics.
The retiring Sask. Party member for Prince Albert Carlton has decided to return to the police work that preceded his time as a politician. There are a couple of problems that his critics see as Hickie retrains to enter the police force when he's done.
First, they don't like the fact that he is double dipping as he draws paycheques from both the city and the province. Later in the day, a statement from Premier Brad Wall clarified that if Hickie goes back to work full-time as an officer, he'll resign as MLA.
Second, the critics worry that there could be the perception that NDP supporters would be treated differently by Hickie than Sask. Party supporters.
Let's start with the first matter.
If you know many police officers or firefighters, you're aware that they invariably have sidelines that they work at on their days off. Since their tours usually involve multiple days off on a reasonably regular basis, they make a little money on the side with secondary interests.
Granted, Hickie's side job is a little bigger than putting in somebody's windows, but the motivation is clear.
If he has found a way to make some policing work without reducing his service to constituents -- which is an interesting proposition -- he is free to do what he wants.
The second part of the equation is everything that stinks about partisan politics.
NDP justice critic John Nilson worries that a police officer shouldn't have some of the information that an MLA knows and that the reverse is also true. It's important to note that Hickie was a member of the force during his entire period in the Legislature, although he was technically on leave.
He also suggested that it doesn't feel right for a constituent to get a ticket from or be investigated by their MLA.
This feels like an opportunistic attack on a good person who has served his community as both a cop and an elected representative.
The problem is that in today's hyper-partisan environment, perception always seems to be the reality for half of the people.
This puts Prince Albert Police Service Chief Troy Cooper in an awkward position. On one hand the chief has to publicly support someone who by all reports is a good officer; on the other, Cooper will have to remain highly attuned to what Hickie is doing.
An officer who is political dynamite isn't an easy one to have around, regardless of their talent and devotion to the job.
Despite the fact that we have no concerns that Hickie would abuse either of his positions of trust, it might be a good idea for the department to reduce his exposure to political attacks as he trains by making him extremely low profile.
The only crime here might be that a good officer is taken off the street.

#7179 - 10/01/00 09:33 PM Words from Gandhi's autobiography
Registered: 03/12/00
Posts: 125
Today is October 2, the day Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in the year
1869. A man born some two centuries ago may appear irrelevant to our age,
but in reality his life and message are still applicable to our lives today.
As opposed to being a tale of great achievements, as most autobiographies
are, his `Story of My Experiments With Truth' is a collection of
introspections and experiences in his search for truth. "Let us not reduce
the standards of truth even by a hair's breadth for judging erring mortals
like myself," he writes in the introduction.
In a world where success is measured by what kind of car one drives, how
lavish a house one lives in, can we learn something from a man who got by
with just a loincloth?
This week's AWAD picks a few words from his autobiography, translated from
the original in Gujarati by Mahadev Desai. Visit your local library or
click http://www.mahatma.org.in to learn more about Mahatma, literally,
great soul.

I've been thinking a lot about my dad these days. Not just because Father's Day is coming up. "Bo Gia" (Old Daddy in Vietnamese) taught me to drink at too young of an age, a relative said, warning my parents that at 8 years old, I was on the path to becoming an alcoholic. (Ha! Dad watered down most stuff he handed to me.) He let me pal around with him when I was a kid, and together we explored Southern California in our blue Mercury Comet, which he purchased soon after our family arrived in America in 1975. It was used and cost around $350.
Bo Gia got me thinking big time about baguettes in around the early 80s when we came across a Vietnamese-owned bakery in El Toro, California. It was in a shopping center next to National Lumber, a home building supplies store that we frequented. Passing by the bakery, we smelled the bread and felt compelled to inquire within. Soon enough, Bo Gia was purchasing bread and croissants and befriending the Vietnamese owners who turned out to be recent immigrants from New Caledonia (a French territory off the coast of Australia).

Results tagged ' Brad Lidge '
Sweep Up The Dead Fish!
Woo hoo! What a weekend for the Phillies in South Florida!
After coming from behind with a ninth-inning rally on Friday night, the Phils pulled it off again on Saturday, tying the game in the ninth and then going ahead in the top of the tenth by a score of 6-4. Brad Lidge came on in the bottom of the tenth, and while somewhat shaky, held on for the save. I had to listen to all this on the radio while driving, as we had been visiting with out-of-state friends who were in the area for the weekend. The combination of Lidge loading the bases with two outs, and concentrating on the road at the same time, is a bit more stress than I need! Thankfully disaster was averted – the Phils won, and we arrived home in one piece.🙂
In contrast, yesterday's victory was a good old-fashioned butt-whuppin' which the Phillies won in dominating style. Jamie Moyer continued his mastery of the Marlins, getting his third win of the season. Lifetime against the Fish, Moyer is 12-1!
Things weren't too far out of hand for the Marlins through the first six innings, with the Phils up 4-1. But then Marlins relievers Hayden Penn and Kiko Calero gave up 7 and 2 runs, respectively, to put the Phils up 13-1.
With the game out of reach, the Marlins decided to save their pitchers, and brought in outfielder Cody Ross to pitch the top of the ninth. To his credit, he retired the side without giving up any runs, giving up only an infield hit to Jayson Werth. The Marlins scored once in the bottom of the ninth, to make the final score 13-2. Phils win!
OK guys, enough of the come-from-behind nailbiters. Let's have a few more blowout games like that, please!
The Marlins have now been swept in successive series by the Pirates and the Phillies, and dropped to an 11-7 record. The Phillies improve to 9-8, and are now in second place, 1 1/2 games behind the Marlins.
Is Cody admiring the new-found talent in his hands, or just thinking that he needs a good manicure? Enquiring minds want to know!
Up next for the Phillies is a three game set with the Natinals/Nationals. My husband is going to the game tonight, as he and his partner were invited by a client. I, on the other hand, will be watching on TV as I try to put up with this unseasonable heat for just a little longer (I admit to just a wee bit of jealousy). Things are supposed to cool off by Wednesday, and I can't rationalize turning on the AC for just two more days, in April, no less! So after the kids are in bed, I will retreat to the subterranean coolness of my basement (finished), with a refreshing gin and tonic in hand.
(photo by me)
New Day, Same Result
After looking totally lifeless in Sunday night's opener, I had hoped that the Phillies' bats might perk up a little bit. But no, they looked just as lifeless last night, too. Granted, I usually miss an inning or two in the middle of the game to get my kids to go to bed, so maybe I missed a little hint of action, but from what I did see I am currently underwhelmed.
I was also glad to be watching from home last night, as the temperature hovered around 40 degrees, with a stiff wind blowing. Has Mother Nature not gotten the memo that Spring is here?
Following last season's M.O., when they did manage to get some baserunners, they were left stranded. 11 of them last night, and not a single one scored. Atlanta won the game 4-0.
Atlanta starters have not given up any runs these first two games, while the Phillies' starters have given up 8.
Alright, I know, it's only the second game.
In an effort to not be totally negative today (I'll leave that to the Philly sportswriters), I'll mention a few positives. Few being the operative word.
– Raul Ibanez made a great throw from left and Carlos Ruiz made a great play at the plate in the top of the fourth to nail Casey Kotchman to end the inning.
– Ryan Howard made solid contact on two hits, and was robbed of a hit up the middle by the darn overshift defenses always employ against him.
– in four innings of relief, Chan Ho Park, Jack Taschner, and Clay Condrey held the Braves hitless. Taschner, Scott Eyre, Chad Durbin, and Brad Lidge also combined for three hitless innings on Sunday. Maybe we should let the bullpen start the games!🙂 Ha, just kidding.
The Phillies will get their World Series rings in a ceremony before today's game. Joe Blanton goes up against Javier Vazquez at 3:05 pm. Please guys, one for the "W" column?
(no photos today, I had to make this a quick entry as I have actual work to do)
