Stocks Begin Earnings Week on Firmer Footing
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock markets shifted higher Monday, with the S&P 500 posting a third straight session of gains, as 10-year Treasury yields stabilized and investors awaited the start of the new earnings season.
The S&P 500 gained 0.53% to 1,640.46.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average tacked on 0.59% to 15,224.69. The Nasdaq added 0.16% to 3,484.83.
"It's absolutely a quiet day and the market continues to grind higher," which suggests traders are warming up to pre-financial crisis fundamentals of correlated rising bond yields and equities, said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors.
Three energy stocks were the top percentage gainers on the S&P on Monday. Shares of Peabody Energy
U.S. stocks surged Friday after shaking off early concerns that the strong jobs growth in June might prompt the Federal Reserve to curb the stimulus measures that have fueled equity markets for more than 18 months.
After the report, the 10-year yield spiked to 2.725%, the highest level since August 2011, before showing signs of easing on Monday. Investors have been concerned about a rebound in interest rates before homebuyers and businesses were ready amid signs of the economy getting better and the possibility of reduced Fed support.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was rising 27/32 Monday, diluting the yield to 2.643%.
A Thomson Reuters report says that of the 22 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings to date for the second quarter, 64% have reported earnings above analyst expectations. This is higher than the long-term average of 63% but below the average over the past four quarters of 67%. Thomson Reuters said that second-quarter earnings in 2013 are expected to grow 2.9% over the same time last year.
The report adds that 45% of companies have reported second-quarter revenue above analyst expectations, which is lower than the long-term average of 61% and below the average over the past four quarters of 48%.
The U.S. economic calendar was light Monday, with the Federal Reserve reporting that consumer credit in May rose $19.6 billion, after a rise of $11.1 billion in April. Economists expected an increase of $12.5 billion.
Minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's June 18 to 19 meeting are due out Wednesday, with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke scheduled to speak in Boston on the same day. Investors will be watching both events for more clues into the timing of Fed's stimulus tapering and any specific guidelines from which these decisions will be made.

Acing Aid Stations
Use them to speed up your next race
Photo by Luis Escobar
For the tired trail runner, aid stations are tempting oases replete with food and drink, a social atmosphere and accommodating volunteers. Many runners get sucked into dawdling, but when used efficiently, aid stations can speed up your race.
Lighten Your Load
"If you're racing, have a plan," notes Jason Bryant of Elkin, North Carolina, who was third at the 2011 USATF Trail 50-Mile Championships. Knowing what you will carry from the start and pick up at each aid station is the first step to optimizing your strategy. Heed the mantra "Light Is Right." Simply, the less weight you carry, the faster and more nimble you will run.
For instance, if you rely on energy gels, you are likely to eat one or two per hour. In longer races, that could mean carrying a hefty pile of gels from the start. However, if you research and find a race's aid stations provide gels you tolerate, you will not have to carry more than a few at a time, which means less weight and less needed storage capacity. If you do not do your homework, you are likely to err on the side of caution and carry more than you need.
Remember, water/fluids are the heaviest part of your kit. If aid stations are close together or the race is short, you might be able to drink only in the aid stations and not be burdened by carrying water. Planning around aid-station separation, weather conditions and race distance allows you to forego fully filling up for shorter spans.
If aid stations are close together, consider carrying enough water to get you through two aid stations. After all, the quickest aid station is the one you do not use. Top New England trail runner Amy Lane of Westfield, Massachusetts, points out, "At a race like the Vermont 100 with its 29 aid stations, spending just two minutes at every aid station adds nearly an hour onto your time!"

Cafe and Events Wed 3rd Dec 2008
Present: Scout, Deborah, Abby, Emi, Alex, Bernard
Apologies: Pomme, James and ...someone else.
APs from Last Meeting
1. Emi and Alex to meet about Vollie Application: Everything is going fine, the kitchen has never before had so many lovely, hard-working volunters. We will work to update the application form a little.
2. Scout and Emi to do blackboard: It is hanging proud in the kitchen. Emi did damn all, she made Scout do all the work and laughed at her, "hahaha"- like that.
3. Torstein to do Vollie Par]ty[/i - It was a huge success, a good time was had by all. Except when Torstein had to spend two hours cleaning the next morning when his volunteers didn't turn up. Boo!
[i]People not turning up for shifts
Awful Events (Abby)
Sound Tech (Deborah)
Sofas (Emi)
Space left from Free Shop move
Jotter in kitchen for NMs (Torstein)
Meeting -
People not turning up for shifts Emi- with Application forms keep them in order so we have details. She had forms in a folder and someone moved it. It's really, really annoying. She'd keeping it safe in a secret place. Abby - should we write numbers straight into the volunteer contact book. AP- EMI to get a new volunteer book. She will see what numbers are in the old one and how valid they still are/if the person is still in the country. EMI will also write new numbers straight in the book when going through applications.
Awful Events - People come and they are crap, no-one discourages them and it makes some people not enjoy using the space. Scout - once every so often, having a one off show that sucks is okay, but not repeatedly. Abby - there must be a way to stop people. Scout - Shall we have a giant gong. Abby - some people have no respect at all for people who are working in the kitchen. She's said to people before not to just go on stage without asking, as they often do. Feels she is being treated sexist. Alex - Do we want to be known as a space with good events, or an open space and risk having not so good events? Emi - incessant bongos drives me crazy. All - yes! Alex - Loud events during the day detracts from having a cafe space that people want to come to for quiet times. All - some people who run events are very disrespectful to the kitchen staff, who are working to keep the space open for people running events. People won't turn music down when NMs ask them to etc. People will climb on stage without asking and start impromptu gigs - some of which are not so good.
AP SCOUT to write in Events Book rules at the front blurb about making yourself known to cafe staff when doing events. Also, to listen to people running the cafe and turn the volume down when people ask, as loud music never compensates for lack of ability.
AP SCOUT to write a poster to hang in the kitchen to remind NMs they are in charge of the space, and to let us know if people are making your life difficuly by posting on the Night Managers Forum.
AP - ALEX to put sign on stage saying to ask the kitchen if you want to perform and other things.
NB - Scout completed these before the end of the meeting. Shazahmmm.
Soundtech - Lack of makes everything difficult, Deborah didn't know how to turn the music down when she needed to last. Abby - Mike, new sound technician, is making an idiots guide to the sound equipment.
Sofas Emi - Been looking in Charity Shops for ages to replace bad and uncomfortable sofas. We're on freecycle, keep an eye out. Alex - Shannon and others went to auctions to find second hand sofas. We decided to get new leather sofas as they are easier to maintain, but second hand as we don't want to cause demand. Scout - Yenta covers would be ideal! Abby - Will look into MFI stock as they are liquidising, or something Alex - Not too many sofas as they take up space. I wish there were no sofas at all, but I understand the joy they bring people.
Emi - New menu exists in part, we need a new menu to go with the new menu. "They look so shitty."
AP - Working On Menus meeting on Tues 16th @ 5pm in Action Room.
Space Left From Free Shop
Alex - Explained what's happening with the Free Shop, and this will free up that area of the cafe. Emi - It's happening Monday all day, people should come if they want to help. Alex - Going to put up posts for minutes in that space, and work on Friends of The Forest area for other organisations doing good work.
Jotter in kitchen for NMs
Torstein - Communications book for K/NMs just to pass on general information, asking people to do things, tell other's what's been happening during the day, people that have been barred etc. Alex - We can't have something open access in the kitchen if it contains sensitive information, explained hidden Night Manager forum.
AP - Torstein to get a Communications Book for people in the Kitchen. It will not contain sensitive information, but should say "Person barred today - look on BB for details" or so for sensitive information.
Any other Business
All- No, hooray!

Rh+, Rh-, and Rhogam
Once the pregnancy test comes back positive, most expectant mothers are anxious to go in for their first prenatal appointment. This doctor appointment will be considerable in length. You will receive a thorough medical exam. Your doctor or midwife will order various tests such as urine analysis, a PAP smear and blood work. The blood test will determine your blood type (A, B, AB, or O) and your Rh status. The blood will also be screened for Rh antibodies.
Rh status describes whether or not you have the Rh factor, a protein on the surface of red blood cells. If you don't have the Rh factor, you are considered Rh-negative; if you have it, you are Rh-positive. Most people (about 85 percent) are Rh-positive.
This number is higher for certain ethnic populations; 90-95 percent of African Americans are Rh-positive, and for Asians, the figure is 98 to 99 percent. Rh status matters only when you're pregnant and only if you are Rh-negative and the baby's father is Rh-positive. If this is the case there is a chance the baby will have the Rh factor (be Rh-positive). It isn't usually dangerous during a first pregnancy because the immune response isn't as strong.
The response will get stronger however, with each future pregnancy. In subsequent pregnancies, if your baby is Rh-positive, your antibodies can cross the placenta and begin to attack your baby's red blood cells. This is known as Rh disease. At one time Rh disease caused problems ranging from severe jaundice and the need for blood transfusions at birth to miscarriages and stillbirths.
With the treatments available today, complications from being Rh-negative and carrying an Rh-positive baby pose very little threat. If you are Rh-negative, you will be given an injection of Rh-immune globulin (RhoGAM) between weeks 28 and 29 of your pregnancy. After delivery, if your baby is Rh-positive, you'll be given another shot within 72 hours. These shots almost always prevent the mother from producing antibodies against Rh-positive cells, protecting you for future pregnancies.

This article by Natalie Bracco in Epic Launch supports the premise that continuing to learn is beneficial for everyone but especially entrepreneurs. She suggests advantages to you can include:
- Indulge your love of learning – while you may want to take something directly related to your business, you might also consider something like public speaking or web design to broaden your skill set.
- Making vital business connections – you never know who you will meet during class.
- Becoming more competitive – continuing your education proves to potential employers and clients that you're hungry, ambitious, and self-motivated.
- Earning more money – according to Ms. Bracco, the more you know the more you're worth.

I have to say the 2 things that I have had a "feeling" about since the first 4-5 episodes of this show were that Don would end up going out on his own in some way and that he would have at least a quick roll in the sack with Joan.
I thought the arrival of Peggy in this last episode was epic. She is now an equal, not kid of is, or is heading toward that point, she is.
If/when Don gets something going with Joan does that sever the relationship with him and Roger, I can picture Roger not being happy about that at all.

Early 2013, Seychelles and Maldives - John Crump and Tiina Kurvits traveled to the Indian Ocean to meet with MSV partners and visit potential field work sites.
During their recent three-week tour, they met with government officials, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), NGOs, and the Universities of Seychelles and Maldives. Meetings were focused on further work on ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), food security, relocation/migration, and the Portraits of Resilience project, and resulted in developments for several projects.
Ecosystem-based adaptation was the main focus of the meetings in Seychelles, where MSV has been working with the Government for some time to develop an EbA project. Discussions on a potential project were held with the Seychelles Ministry of Environment, UNDP Small Grants Programme, and the Terrestrial Restoration Action Society of Seychelles (TRASS), an NGO focused on land degradation and reforestation. Three potential locations were discussed for a project, with Praslin Island being the strongest candidate. Forty percent of Praslin Island has been seriously degraded as a result of fires and drought; soil erosion due to lack of adequate reforestation is affecting surrounding coral reefs and seagrass beds.
Discussions were also held with UNDP to bring back the Portraits of Resilience project to Seychelles later in 2013. Seychelles was the first SIDS participant in this project in 2009. In addition, a wide-ranging discussion was held with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Industry regarding food security, one of MSV's focal areas. The Seychelles import 70% of their food, and local agriculture has faltered in recent years as a result of the global and national economic downturn.
In Maldives, the primary focus was on the joint CICERO/TERI/GRID project "Perceptions and understandings of climate change and migration: Conceptualizing and contextualizing for Lakshadweep and the Maldives". This was an initial fact finding mission to meet with local and national officials, build support for the project and collect baseline information. Site visits were made to Guraidhoo and Maafushi Islands, two potential field sites. Additional meetings were held with UNDP, FAO, and the Maldives National University to discuss a broad range of issues affecting Maldives, including the critical issue of waste management and food security.

U.S. Paralympians on Thanksgiving cooking, food
With two days until Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, USParalympics.org asked some of the nation's top Paralympic athletes to talk about everything Thanksgiving, including their favorite Thanksgiving dishes and how their training affects their celebration. Stay tuned throughout the week for more Thanksgiving chatter with U.S. Paralympians and hopefuls.
Tuesday's questions
Who does the cooking for your Thanksgiving meal?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"My mom and I usually bake and cook as well as my aunts and uncles and dad cook too. Pretty much everyone pitches in when it comes to cooking. We serve all the Thanksgiving classics: turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas, salad, stuffing as well as some family tradition dishes such as mini pies, grandma's stovies, which are yummy potatoes, and of course tablet, a Scottish dessert my grandma always makes but never will share the recipe."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"For the big Thanksgiving meal in my family, there's usually around 25 of us. All the aunts and my grandma cook the turkey and bring side dishes."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"The cooking is a combination of dishes that is brought by each household when we come together for Thanksgiving. Dinner usually consists of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing and other foods commonly associated with the holiday."
Kelly Crowley, para-cycling
"Everyone. It's potluck style. The dishes have been pretty much exactly the same for the last 35 years: turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, two kinds of stuffing – one with giblets, one without, creamed onions, green beans, orange-glazed yams, potato rolls. Oh, and my grandma's spinach salad."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"There will be around 20 family members at my family's Thanksgiving so everyone ends up cooking something. But the three grandmothers of the group cook the majority of the meal."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"My family is a well-oiled Thanksgiving cooking machine. Each person brings a dish to complete the all-star spread. So, someone will bring the turkey, ham, another may bring mac and cheese, rice and gravy, cabbage, another will bring green beans, candy yams and potato salad, someone else will have the collard greens, coleslaw and corn bread, and another person will bring the cakes, cobblers and my absolute favorite, sweet potato pie."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"Usually we have Thanksgiving at our house so my mother, sister, and I do most of the cooking but each family usually brings a side or dessert or something as well. We usually have turkey of course, and stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, glazed carrots, sweet potato casserole, derby pie and whatever other desserts we decide to make."
Taylor Lipsett, sled hockey
"In both my wife's and my family, everyone contributes to cooking. My wife always makes her famous loaded mashed potatoes, and I make sweet potato casserole, which is basically a dessert. In addition, we also have your typical Thanksgiving food such as turkey – we always smoke ours, ham, smoked brisket, homemade stuffing, green bean casserole, broccoli and rice casserole, a number of different pies and our very own secret family recipe boiled custard for dessert."
Angela Madsen, track and field
"I prepared the meal for many years but have not for many years. Recently, Thanksgiving has been at Deb's mother's house. The meal is usually American traditional, turkey and all the fixins."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"Lucky for me, I just worry about the eating and not the cooking. My mom and sister do the cooking. We have turkey and ham and all the trimmings."
Asya Miller, goalball
"When I am in Colorado, Mama Armbruster does the cooking. This year, I am spending Thanksgiving in Portland, Ore., with one of my teammates."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"Cooking will be a group effort this year for me, my parents, aunt, uncle and cousins."
Justin Zook, swimming
"I am actually not sure who is cooking this year but we usually have the traditional turkey, potatoes, a few vegetables and then more dessert than anything else."
What is your favorite part of your Thanksgiving meal?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"I love everything to do with Thanksgiving especially mashed potatoes and stuffing and gravy. I do love peas on the side too."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"My favorite part of the meal is definitely the pumpkin pie. Perfect ending."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"My favorite part of my Thanksgiving meal is that you get to taste a variety of cooking styles because almost every dish comes from a different person. Although, I would say my favorite individual dish is my mom's potato casserole, it is unique but at the same time goes well with everything else."
Kelly Crowley, para-cycling
"Dessert is my favorite. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, lemon bars, chocolate cream pie, coffee. Now that I'm vegetarian and my husband is a chef, his contributions are usually my favorite. I love his Brussels sprouts, no matter how he prepares them. And my mom's orange-glazed yams taste nostalgic, which is funny because growing up, those were my least favorite."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"My favorite part of the meal is definitely all of the sweets. Pecan pie is my favorite."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"There are so many things to choose from, the sounds of chitter-chatter at the dinner table, the laughter, the 'ohs' and 'ahs' from the guys watching football games, and the sound of toddlers feet running through the house, all of the sounds of a fun and loving family. My favorite thing is sweet potato pie hands down."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"My favorite part of the meal is the derby pie of course. If you haven't heard of it, you haven't lived yet. [Derby pie is a chocolate and walnut tart in a pie shell usually with a pastry dough crust.] My favorite side dish is probably the sweet potato casserole or the mashed potatoes. My family thinks it is weird but I always put honey in my mashed potatoes which makes it delicious."
Taylor Lipsett, sled hockey
"My favorite part of Thanksgiving is spending time with my family. Since I am so busy traveling, training, workingand going to school, I don't get to see my family very often, so this is a great time to catch up with everyone! And my favorite dish is definitely my sweet potato casserole. I could eat it until I am sick."
Angela Madsen, track and field
"My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the gathering and reuniting with family and friends. My favorite dish is mashed sweet potatoes with pecan crunchy topping."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"I would have to say dessert is my favorite. My wife makes a great banana pudding. It's the best."
Asya Miller, goalball
"My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is mashed potatoes and apple pie."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"I like it all so it is a close call but probably mashed potatoes and gravy are the winner."
Greta Neimanas says canned cranberry is her favorite Thanksgiving dish.
Greta Neimanas, para-cycling
"Maybe it's trashy or uncouth to enjoy this so much but my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the jellied cranberries- the type that comes in a can and slide out still shaped like the can. It's a total, not-so guilty pleasure that I reserve only for the holidays. My mom always makes a really nice cranberry orange relish dish with fresh cranberries and oranges that everyone loves but I won't touch it. I always stick with the canned deliciousness. It's just so good! Since I'm pretty much the only one who eats it, especially given the choice between that and fresh stuff, there is always plenty."
Justin Zook, swimming
"The best part about the meal for me is getting to sit down with some family members who I do not get to spend time with and catch up. With work and swimming being basically a full-time commitment, I find it hard to keep in touch with some of my family members. Also, I really enjoy getting to sit down and watch football with my dad."
Does your training affect your Thanksgiving?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"This year I'm fortunate enough to be able to be home with my family. I am having surgery today, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, so I will not be training or competing this week."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"Since I'm taking time off of serious competition, my training isn't going to affect the holidays this year."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"No, in fact I would say Thanksgiving affects my training as I tend to over eat. Not to mention having the week off from school makes it a lot easier to slack."
Kelly Crowley, para-cycling
"I'm extra motivated to get a good hard ride on Thanksgiving morning."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"My training schedule is very light right now so I will be able to go and spend the day with my family."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"Absolutely not. Studies have revealed that the athletes who work hard typically work hard to pack on the pounds at Thanksgiving, and they work even harder to lose them once Thanksgiving is over."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"I tend to have a little bit of lots of things. Even on other days, I tend to eat many little meals not one big one. I do the same thing on Thanksgiving because I would prefer not to have a stomach ache the rest of the night and I get to try everything. It is the best of both worlds."
Taylor Lipsett, sled hockey
"I train extra hard around the holidays so that I can really let loose and enjoy all of the great food without feeling too guilty. And luckily, I have never had to miss Thanksgiving for a competition."
Angela Madsen, track and field
"I consider surfing cross-training. If I am traveling, there is always a fitness center in the hotel, a 24 Hour Fitness or a military installation nearby. I provided my partner Deb's mom with a Concept 2 Rowing machine, good for her and also available for me to use when we go there for the holidays."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"I have been pretty lucky that we have not had a competition on Thanksgiving. As for training, we get a couple days off to enjoy the time with our families."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"Not this year. Thanksgiving did impact my training last year with getting geared up for the Paralympic Games in London. This year, the Thanksgiving meal will be my cheat day. I like to give myself cheat days when I am in the off-season."
Greta Neimanas, para-cycling
"Training and competitions usually affect the length of time I can spend at home when I go back. However, this year we don't have a winter track world championships so the holidays won't be as impacted as they have the past few years. It's a welcome break and nice opportunity to spend time with people who can get neglected during the competition season."
Justin Zook, swimming
"Usually training and competition do not affect my celebration. I take the long weekend to recuperate and gear up for the following week of training and work."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (194 votes).
In short: Amatuer organisation and administration, route OK, runners and marshalls OK, directions by car to venue were very poor. Chip timer not adequately explained, finish poorly laid out. Not enjoyable. In full: Directions poor, Jnc 38 of M1 DOES NOT SIGNPOST Haigh, I saw Barnsley exit which is wrong, should be Wolley, got lost, late, infuriating!!!!!! That is shockingly bad htey don't know or test their own directions by car. What changing facility - shool gym changing rooms locked so good job I'd put my shorts on at home. Marshalls good to be fair. Atmosphere OK, chip thing MUST be on ankle rather than should be, I didn't know, wore on my wrist then hey presto not logged and I don't appear on results!! Angry or what. Then their website is awful, no easy or abvious way to e-mail complaints or feedback, Thanks vey miuch Runners World for having this facility. Get my say. Cost inconsistent on your website, says £4 for affliated, I paid them £6.50 direct, shouldn't it be the other way round? The finish was very poorly laid out, big school playing field and they position everything together, sensible person would allow long queue space to collect drinks then T-shirts rather than the amatuer organisation they had. Laughable.Date of review: November 21, 2007
In short: Good race that's always worth coming back to do. In full: I have done this race for 4yrs now. Organisation and marshalls were plenty. Toilet provision has improved by having access to the hall. Disapointed by the chip timing. It was not really accurate as no mat to run over and start was not apparent. Those of us near the back did not know it had actually started. It was good to get an instant result! The hill at start and end were ok but forgot about the sneaky one in the middle. Get chip timing sorted and it will remain a good race. Thank you. Date of review: November 21, 2007
In short: Don't you just love that hill at the start!In full: Once the first mile is out of the way and you are past the coking plant the scenery improves considerably. This also gives you worst hill of the race.My 15 year old son did this race as his first ever 10K and, despite the poor weather, seemed to enjoy it. Pleasant enough at the back of the field and a lot of supportive marshalls.Date of review: November 20, 2007
In short: PB potential if you don't mind hills!In full: One of my favourite races of the year; people dont like the uphill finish but theyre forgetting the two mile downhill section that precedes it! Fast, challenging course with excellent marshals who cheer you on (one even shouted out positions to the runners near the front). Didnt have any problems with the start but I was near the front and so heard the marshal shout 'go', maybe the runners further back couldn't hear? If so that needs to be addressed. Yes there was a tight corner at the finish but I was moving a fair bit and it didnt cause me too many problems. All in all a great race, thanks to Barnsley AC & all concerned, maybe use a gun / loudspeaker next year?Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: Yorkshire runners walk on water - we had to!!In full: No sunstroke for any of the hundreds that braved this excellent race. Agree with others, I wasn't sure we'd started either, so my own timing was to pot, but hey, who's perfect. Course was "tasty",inclines just when you didn't need them. Bravo to the marshalls, all wrapped up, braving the elements to give directions and (much needed) support. T-shirt good value. If I can escape S.Wales again,I will be back next year .Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: Good, well-organised and friendly race - shame it was so cold...Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: Good race on a very cold miserable day.In full: I thought the race was very good value for money with a nice tshirt and was well organised apart from the start and finish which were a bit strange. A big thank you to the marshalls who I thought were very supportive especially around the five mile point on the very long hill when I really needed some encouragement. I'll definetly be back next year when hopefully the weather will be a bit nicer.Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: good tough course, well organised but minor glitchesIn full: This is a course of two halves. The first is mainly flat or downhill, the second mainly uphill with a long slog after 4.5 miles. I did the first half in 22 mins, the second in 26!The organisation at the civic hall was good and efficient. The start, however, was a mess. There was no gun or hooter, and no indication where the start line actually was. When everyone started walking slowly, we thought we were walking to the start. It took about about a minute to realise that the race had actually started. Also, the finish could have been better. There was no Finish sign and the race just seemed to stop after turning a tight corner. The queue for the T-shirts was spilling over into the finish zone as well, which made things even messier.If the start and finish could be improved, this would be an excellent, testing race.Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: A day of two halfs..In full: Firstly, a big thanks to Barnsley AC for organising the event. Good to have an race like this in a very sparse winter event calendar but a few 'tweeks' next year would majorly improve things.The directions sent out with the race number caused some issues as when we reached the suggested 'turn off' from the M1 the sign post we were supposed to look out for did not exist. We then did a 15 mile detour before spotting a sign for Royston.The registration area was well organised and very efficient so top marks for that and there seemed to be a reasonable amount of toilet facilities.Unfortunately, the start was a complete farce with no visible sign of where the start line was and from where I was standing no signal that we had even started!Good stewarding on the course and a an 'undulating' route although the seemingly never- ending up hill section between mile 4 and 5 was cruel.End of the race again confusing with what seemed like two timing mats and very little warning of how close you were to the finish when you came around the last corner.Think I did a personal best by over two minutes but not sure as don't know exactly where the start was!Will be back next year, hopefully the few small issues will have been sorted out by then.Date of review: November 19, 2007
In short: Great day apart from the weather - runners very friendlyDate of review: November 19, 2007

By turning away from wanting things to valuing people, we can celebrate the holiday season through the eyes of a "beloved community" and ask what kind of community we can create together.
Chinese-American philosopher and civil rights legend Grace Lee Boggs turned 100 this summer. She has been at the heart and soul of a largely hidden story inside Detroit's evolution from economic collapse to rebirth. We traveled in 2011 to meet her and her community of joyful, passionate people reimagining work, food, and the very meaning of humanity. They have lessons for us all.

Grace Lee Boggs make use of the word "reinvent". I agree we need to focus there. Too often what I see is reaction to whatever the latest manner of exploitation is that has directly affected us. By reacting only to that, we leave the whole corrupt system in place and it will invent a new way to allow for more exploitation.
The 60's is portrayed as some sort of unusual culture, with its own music and its own dress, but most of what made a difference at that time were the quieter actions that were going on, like people rediscovering where food comes from or who their neighbors were. As Krista points out, we are doing that consciously now. Hopefully, aware not only of how food grows, but what the difference is between food as something we nurtured vs food as a commodity.
I've seen this awareness grow in kids in gardens I have helped organize in South Minneapolis and even in my small town.
Bravo Krista! Time Inc. was here for a year -- and this is the story they missed: Detroit becoming....
Full disclosure: I've known Grace since 1993. In fact, I met my wife, Julia, through Detroit Summer, Grace & Jimmy's (r)evolutionary idea to utilize the spirit of young people to revitalize, re-imagine, and re-spirit Detroit. Julia was actually Detroit Summer's first volunteer and is now deep in the process of creating a place-based school in Detroit, the Boggs Educational Center, that will draw on many of the people and principles that came out in today's show.
Ending with Invincible's hip-hop song was also right on.
Let me end with a poem, "Detroit Jesus," I wrote for Grace last summer:
Detroit Jesus
(for Grace Lee Boggs on her 96th birthday)
Time, Inc., buys a house in Detroit
and tries to track him for a year.
But he's invisible to those looking for a
blue-eyed dude in a white robe
or for a city gone completely to hell.
He is the cinnamon of my son's skin
with a green thumb and a Tigers cap
and my daughter's dove-grey eyes.
He prays into Blair's guitar,
hangs out on Field St.,
bakes bread at Avalon
and plants tomatoes on the East side.
He rides his old-school bike down the heart
of Grand River,
paints a mural in the Corridor,
shoots hoop in the Valley
with priests and pimps and lean young men
trying to jump their way to heaven.
At night,
while the Border Patrol counts cars,
he walks across the water
to Windsor,
grabs a bite to eat,
walks back.
Like Grace,
born in Providence,
he lives so simply,
he could live anywhere:
Dublin, Palestine, Malibu.
But Detroit is his home.
It was here one Sunday
a boy invited him down
off the cross
and into his house
for a glass of Faygo red pop.
That was centuries ago, it seems,
and how far he's come,
reinventing himself more times than Malcolm.
He's been to prison,
been to college,
has a tattoo of Mary Magdalene on one arm,
Judas on the other,
and knows every Stevie Wonder song by heart.
He's Jimmy, he's Invincible, he's Eminem.
He's the girls at Catherine Fergusen
and their babies,
and he's the deepest part of Kwame
still innocent as a baby.
The incinerator is hell,
but he walks right in,
burns it up with love,
comes out the other side,
walks on.
He can say "Amen" in twelve religions,
believes school is any place
where head and heart and hands
and wears a gold timepiece around his neck
with no numbers, just a question:
What time is it on the clock of the world?
And every second of every day
he answers that question
with a smile wide as the Ambassador
and a heart as big as Belle Isle,
hugging this city in his arms
and whispering to each soul
words no one else dares to say:
You are Jesus,
this is your Beloved Community,
and the time
on the clock of the world
is Now.
I so appreciated the chance to hear this story about Grace Lee Boggs and others are accomplishing in Detroit. We will be showing a new documentary about Grace Lee Boggs ("American Revolutionary") at our Great Lakes History/Women and Gender Historians of the Midwest in Grand Rapids, Michigan next October. Hearing these stories has inspired me to think about all the possibilities that we can connect to her story.
A whole range of emotions--real joy to hear about the creativity and community building, hope and inspiration. I go away with the question about my own focus and how I can be more imaginative and positive about making change. It is so heart-opening and a wonderful contradiction to the daily onslaught of negativity, hopelessness and narrow thinking. Thank you Krista for continuing to shine light into the darkness.
Thanks for having Grace Lee Boggs on. She is brilliant and thought-provoking.
One of the first, if not the first, community gardens in Detroit was set up by Brother Rick of the Capuchins on Mount Elliot Street, just down the street from Heidelberg Project, both of which would be good stories. The Caps have a member, Father Solanus Casey, is on the path to possible sainthood and a lovely chapel has been built on the block. Solanus used to tick off the other Caps when he gave away all the food in the house to people knocking at the door.
The Heidelberg Project has been defamed and attacked for removal. Why - here is a sample. When a brothel inhabited an abandoned corner house, Tyree Guyton, artist, decorated the house with dozens of dolls hung all over the house. That was only the beginning. It has hit its 25th birthday with an HBO program. (Pic attached may be a different house)
To boot, across the street from the Caps is a cemetery which has been the subject of a locally famous painting of souls rising on All Saints Day.
May your story uncap the hope of Detroit.
Bill Lavery
so inspiring and important. i'm in Los Angeles. another kind of city that embodies the tension between aggressive pursuit of individualism and a burgeoning awareness of sustainability and community. thank you for this incredible story that highlights people of inspiration and accountability to themselves and to the earth.
I was so struck by these
I was so struck by these interviews. My former husband was from Detroit and I came to love the city through him. So it breaks my heart to see its stare now. I appreciate the activists whoare trying to improve the lives of the poorest residents of the city. Why can't these activities and activist spirit be expanded across the city?

Heard your Detroit broadcast
Heard your Detroit broadcast twice today, first at breakfast, then again at supper, and it occured to me that if, by chance, Grace Lee Boggs and her community of renewal are not already aware of the pioneering work of Patrick Geddes, for example, his Cities in Evolution, first published in 1915 and still in print, then they are in for a treat. Their efforts in individual and social re-creation would delight him.
It seems every one of Krista
It seems every one of Krista's shows are inspiring but Grace's story and life touched something of the simplicity of the profound and the profoundly simple way evolution happens. One way back to the future!
Here is what I posted on my
Here is what I posted on my facebook page and shared with several friends after hearing this show ... it was a breath of fresh air.
What does a "record-setting dead zone" mean for Louisiana's coast? For Louisiana, the predicted large-scale hypoxia in the Gulf could not only affect the wildlife in the Mississippi River Delta but also the livelihoods and businesses of coastal residents that rely on commercial and recreational fishing.
Another win for Monsanto: US raises allowable levels of company's pesticide in crops
Dr. Don M. Huber, emeritus professor of plant pathology at Purdue University, found in yet another examination that "Glyphosate draws out the vital nutrients of living things," in turn removing most nutritional value from GMO foods
Mr. Curtis: "One thing that I think we're going to have to pay more attention to is what food sovereignty is or food security is. I mean, along with growing food, we're growing culture, we're growing community because we're growing structure, we're growing ideology, we're growing a lot of things to make sure that our existence is no longer threatened because of us being marginalized in a system that's killing us and we ain't got no say-so in our existence or how we live as human beings. So developing consciousness, I think, is very important. It's just not a warm and fuzzy garden, you know. We're not just growing food, we're becoming part of this process of existence in the whole ecology system that exists not just in the garden, but has existed since the beginning.
... It changes your culture because, when you rediscover like what can be eaten that's been there all along and you drive your car over it and mow it down, when you change your oil, you throw your oil on something that's very valuable. Now, instead of throwing pallets over something, someone will look up under the pallet and say, "You know, you could eat that." So that changes your relationship with the earth, but it changes your relationship with another person because, when they go to drive their car over it or spit on it or whatever they're going to do that's negative or disregarding this life, you have to find a way to explain it to them."
You can listen to the interview here. It's very rich and nutritionally dense for the spirit.
Thank you for teaching me
Thank you for teaching me about the city I love.
One activist said here that
One activist said here that the neighborhood kids around her didn't know what a butterfly is. They haven't ever been introduced to butterflies. If you don't know about butterflies, never met a butterfly, never encountered the magic of a butterfly when you still believe in magic as a kid, is it any surprise as an adult you MIGHT NOT believe in positive change for yourself? That you yourself can change? and grow and create a beautiful life for yourself and others?
Grace Lee Boggs was born to
Grace Lee Boggs was born to Chinese immigrants and despite the social norm of the time, earned her Ph. D in philosophy as a woman in the during the mid 1900s. She didn't even consider philosophy up until the time of the communist revolution. She discusses the differences between the terms 'revolution' and 'rebellion' which she describes as, "[a rebellion is] an explosion of anger and revolution was a tremendous leap forward, a tremendous evolution, and a new way of thinking." She said that this concept of evolution was developed in light of her upbringing in Detroit during such a chaotic time and that it shaped her thinking in numerous ways. In addition she highlights how we as a society develops from what is negative, as well as fear, and how she saw that in her daily life living in Detroit.
I think her way of thinking is incredible. Her age has exposed her to a century's worth of development and I find it incredible that her thinking changed with the time rather than how she grew up. Instead of rights and expectations she now focuses on how the change of the times allow people to think and have new ideas about education, politics, and anything the mind can think of. Because of the struggles during the early and mid 1900s the world has been able to shift the ideology from survival to thriving and expanding.
With the transition from the old and new comes new problems, but also new innovative thinking and with the way we have developed Graces seems to grieve over the 'loss of spirit' and 'disconnect from the world and its people'. I can see how she would think that. Despite being young, as a 90s kid I can't help, but feel like we were the last generation to play outside with toys and other kids. Looking at my younger cousins, it's like they are confined to the digital world rather than the physical world. Boggs describes the recovery from struggles in pursuit of money to be a journey in which one loses so much more; to paraphrase, we have to recover a lot as we have lost something [our souls] so invaluable … and at what cost? We have victimized ourselves and sold ourselves short in our abilities; we are capable of reshaping the world as so many others have before us.
What I really got out of this is that humanity has seen extreme progress through the years and, even now at what Boggs believes to be a prime time for innovative thinking, instead rely on past inventions. Those inventions were new at the time of their creation and getting back in touch with the human aspect of our pasts can push us forward past what we thought was the best. We are no longer trying to merely survive and our innovations thus far all seem to be created with respects to business, economy, and financial stability. Resetting the foundation of survival and happiness as relationships rather than collateral value could bring thinking to an whole new level, not bound by any earthy value.
Grace Lee Boggs was a Chinese
Grace Lee Boggs was a Chinese American born in Rhode Island as a first generation American. She later went on to study Philosophy and became a Civil Rights Legend. She came to live with her husband in Detroit at a young age and has lived there for many years. Just recently she celebrated her 100th Birthday and shared some of her wisdom.
I found that she has a really neat perspective on how growth and change can take place. Growth and change come from hard times and we need to look at it that way. She looks at all the struggles through Detroit's economy and says she is excited about what it is going to become. Change takes time and I think that is accurate.
Another question she brought up was "What is the difference between a rebellion and a revolution?" I love this thought because a revolution brings awareness to something that needs to be changed and re birthed almost. A rebellion to me seems like people that are so frustrated and just are mad and upset. There is more fruit through a revolution.
This amazing women holds meetings in her home for leaders in her community. She believes in what her community can be and what people can do. Here is a women who is giving back in her community and has not given up on it. I hope to take some lessons and pointers from her.
Wow! What a citizen of
Wow! What a citizen of Detroit! Admiration is understated! What a citizen!

I've been using data queues to funnel data into several programs. I--
am using the typical method (I suppose) of using data structures to
define the data values in the data queue entries. This particular
data structure is externally defined.
Now I have need to be able to determine if individual field values in
the data queue entry are null. That is, the data placed there by the
originating program(s) is properly setting the field's null value
using the %nullind function.
The externally defined data structure has the fields defined as null
capable, but I'm thinking that passing the null settings for each
field is beyond the capability of data queues, no matter how you
define the data contained in them.
Has anyone else been in this situation? Short of adding an array of
flags to the end of the data structure to contain the null indicators
for each field, anybody got any ideas?

About the Author: Donna M. Butler serves in the Executive Division of the Bureaus of Near Eastern and South & Central Asian Affairs. She is also the Coordinator of the U.S. State Department-Miner Elementary School Tutoring/Mentoring Partnership Program.
This year we commemorate the first September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. The tragic events of September 11, 2001, inspired Americans to come together in a spirit of unity. Today, President Obama, the Corporation for National and Community Service, MyGoodDeed and the 9/11 families ask all Americans to remember that Tuesday eight years ago and recommit to service in their communities. Tens of thousands of volunteers in all 50 states are expected to answer their call.
As a young person, I was blessed in my life to have individuals who encouraged me to give back through my church and school. They demonstrated to me that volunteerism is important to building and maintaining our communities.
In that spirit, I am truly privileged to coordinate the U.S. Department of State's partnership with Miner Elementary School. For 12 years, the State Department has sought to provide at least 100 volunteers a year to tutor at least one hour per week at Miner Elementary School, one of the Washington, D.C. public elementary schools whose students have been identified as most in need of help, in terms of reading skills, by D.C. school officials and other government agencies.
Before coordinating this program, I participated in it as a volunteer. My colleague John Arbogast, an attorney here at the State Department, founded the program with former Miner Elementary School principal Angela Tilghman. Their leadership and efforts to sustain the program inspired my participation. My continued involvement has been motivated by the stories of the students. Many have endured very difficult and tragic situations, even at their young and tender ages.
Miner Elementary School's dedicated teachers and staff have remained creative and committed partners. I would like to recognize some of our current trailblazers: Principal LaVonne Taliferro-Bunch, faculty member Donita Holt, my faithful and dedicated assistant Lily Savic, and the many, many other volunteers from the past and present. Their spirit of giving is immeasurable, and my humble gratitude goes out to them.
Together, the teachers and volunteers have accomplished a lot, in the one-on-one tutoring and other ways. In past years, State volunteers, among other undertakings, started a newspaper at the school, taught civics and music classes, and assisted in the production of the school play. State volunteers have also helped with several school visits to the State Department, including the "Groundhog Job Shadow Day." These activities have also encouraged similar partnerships on the part of other government agencies.
As the President and First Lady said, "No force for change is more powerful than that of Americans who are making a difference in their communities. This September 11, and in the days, weeks, and months that follow, let us recommit ourselves to service, renew America's promise, and work together as one people and one Nation."
September 11 continues to evoke strong emotions and commemorate sacrifice. It is also a call to action. There are many ways you can become involved. Serve.gov is an online resource where you can find volunteer opportunities in your community. Be inspired by stories of service from around the United States and create your own.

Millions of children under the age of 5 participate each year in federally funded preschool and other early learning programs or receive federally supported child care in a range of settings. Federal programs that funded early learning and child care as an explicit purpose received at least $13.3 billion in federal funding in fiscal year 2010.[1] Research supports the importance of providing high-quality early learning experiences during childrens formative years.[2] Furthermore, as GAO reported in May 2010, research indicates that having reliable, high-quality child care is also critical to sustaining parents ability to work. Federal support for early learning and child care developed over time to meet emerging needs. However, GAO previously reported that multiple federal agencies administer this important investment through numerous programs. This is perhaps a consequence of the different historical origins of early learning and child care programs, creating fragmentation of efforts, some overlap of goals or activities, and potential confusion among families and other program users.
[1]Fiscal year 2010 is the latest date for which actual obligations have been reported, and funding data for two programs were not reported in budget justifications but obtained from federal agencies. This figure includes funding for the 12 programs GAO identified as having an explicit purpose of providing early learning or child care for children. It does not include federal programs with other purposes that permit the use of funds for early learning and child care as an allowable activity or that provide supporting services such as food and nutrition. For example, the figure does not include funding for two multipurpose block grantsthe Social Services Block Grant and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)or for Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies.
[2]J. Shonkoff and D. Phillips, Eds, From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development (Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press, 2000).
The federal investment in early learning and child care is fragmented in that it is administered through 45 programs that provide or may support related services to children from birth through age 5, as well as five tax provisions that subsidize private expenditures in this area.[1] The programs are concentrated within the Departments of Education (Education) and Health and Human Services (HHS)the principal administrators of the federal governments early learning and child care programsbut are also administered by the Departments of Agriculture, the Interior, Justice, Labor, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Appalachian Regional Commission. Some of these programs overlap in that they have similar goals for children under the age of 5 and are targeted to similar groups of children. For example, five programs, administered by Education and HHS, provide school readiness services to low-income children, and programs in both Education and the Interior provide funding for early learning services for Indian children.
Among the 45 programs, 12 have an explicit program purpose of providing early learning or child care services.[2] GAO reported in January 2000 that although individual programs may differ in the exact services provided, the distinction between early learning and child care has blurred over time as policymakers seek to make educationally enriching care available to young children. As seen in the table below, all 12 programs serve children under the age of 5, and some also serve older children; however, they vary in targeted child population. Furthermore, they vary substantially in funding levels. For example, 9 of the 12 programs obligated less than $500 million each in fiscal year 2010, while the largest program, Head Start, obligated $7.2 billion in that year.[3]

Source: GAO analysis of Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance and federal agency program information.
Note: All programs included in this table are those for which early learning or child care is explicitly described as a program purpose, according to GAOs analysis of Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance and other agency information. It does not include additional programs that either support early learning or child care or that allow such services. All programs GAO identified are listed in appendix III.
a In combination, Child Care and Development Block Grant funds and Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds are referred to as the Child Care and Development Fund.
However, the majority of the 45 programs GAO identified do not have the explicit purpose of delivering early learning or child care services, but rather permit use of funds for this purpose or provide supportive services to facilitate such care.
In addition to these federally funded programs, five federal tax provisions support early education and care by forgoing tax revenue to subsidize the private purchase of child care services. Some tax provisions are for families and some are for employers that provide child care at the workplace. These five tax expenditures accounted for at least $3.1 billion of forgone tax revenue for the U.S. Treasury in fiscal year 2010.[5] The revenue that the government forgoes through tax expenditures can be viewed as spending channeled through the tax system, contributing to mission fragmentation and program overlap. As GAO previously reported in September 2005, coordinated reviews of tax expenditures and related programs may reduce fragmentation and overlap.[6] While it may be possible for some families to receive benefits through both tax provisions and federal early learning and child care programs in a particular year, many families eligible to participate in federal programs may not have tax liabilities due to their low incomes and would not benefit from these tax provisions.[7]
Although some programs fund similar types of services for similar populations, differing program structures, eligibility requirements, and data limitations create obstacles to assessing whether actual duplication exists among these programs.
To the extent that programs in different agencies have similarities, fragmentation and program overlap can create an environment in which programs may not serve children and families as efficiently and effectively as possible. The existence of multiple programs can also create added administrative costs, such as costs associated with determining eligibility and meeting varied reporting requirements. However, despite some overlap in program purposes and targets, it is likely that service gaps exist, since these programs generally are not designed as entitlements that serve all eligible children. For example, as GAO previously reported in May 2010, about one-third or fewer of potentially eligible children received child care subsidies from CCDF, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and the Social Services Block Grant between fiscal years 2004 and 2007, according to GAOs review of several HHS estimates. HHS has identified improving program access and quality as high-priority performance goals for both Head Start and child care programs.
Coordinating the administration and evaluation of early learning and child care programs can help mitigate the effects of program fragmentation and overlap and potentially help bridge service gaps; however, there is currently no federal interagency workgroup that coordinates early learning and child care efforts across all federal agencies with such programs. Education and HHS have numerous coordinating initiatives and agreements with each other, within their departments, and in support of state and local coordination. For example, Education and HHS formed an interagency policy board in August 2010 whose goals included improving the quality and effectiveness of Education and HHS early learning programs; increasing the coordination of research, technical assistance and data systems; and, in an advisory role, maximizing resources. In 2009, HHS established an executive-level liaison office to coordinate interagency efforts, and Education proposed establishing a similar coordination office in 2011. Education and HHS have also collaborated in jointly administering the Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge. In addition, the two departments have supported early learning and child care coordination at the state and local levels, such as through State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care and other early childhood programs.[10] HHS has also established workgroups and collaborative efforts with several other individual federal departments, such as Agriculture, Defense, and HUD, to increase the availability and quality of child care or for other goals. However, these workgroups do not bring multiple agencies together, and GSA, the Departments of the Interior, Justice, Labor, and the Appalachian Regional Commission also have programs with some child care component that are not part of broader cross-agency initiatives but could likely benefit from the expertise of Education and HHS.
The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) could serve as a vehicle for furthering interdepartmental coordination of early learning and child care. The Act established a new, cross-cutting, and integrated framework for achieving results and improving government performance.[11] Among other things, each agency is to identify the various federal organizations and activitiesboth within and external to the agencythat contribute to its goals, and describe how the agency is working with other agencies to achieve its goals as well as any relevant crosscutting goals. The executive branch and Congress could use this process to identify and address program areas where strengthened interagency coordination is needed to better achieve results as well as areas of fragmentation, overlap and duplication.
[1]In identifying these programs, the criteria GAO used were that these programs (1) fund or support early education or child care services, (2) are provided to children under age 5, and (3) deliver services in an educational or child care setting.
[2]GAO considers a program as having an explicit early learning or child care purpose when the program objectives in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance or other agency documents refer to early learning or child care.
[3]This figure excludes American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds. Pub. L. No. 111-5. See appendix III for information on fiscal year 2010 program obligations for early learning and child care programs.
[4]GAO has described the fragmentation and overlap of these and other nutrition assistance programs in Domestic Food Assistance: Complex System Benefits Millions, but Additional Efforts Could Address Potential Inefficiency and Overlap among Smaller Programs, GAO-10-346 (Washington, D.C.: Apr. 15, 2010).
[5]Two of the five tax expendituresExclusion Of Benefits Provided Under Cafeteria Plans and Exclusion of Income Earned by Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Associationsinclude revenue used for health care and other benefits besides child care.
[6]In September 2005, GAO recommended that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, develop and implement a framework to review tax expenditures. In March 2011, GAO reported that OMB, in its fiscal year 2012 budget guidance, instructed agencies, where appropriate, to analyze how to better integrate tax and spending policies that have similar goals and objectives. See Government Performance and Accountability: Tax Expenditures Represent a Substantial Federal Commitment and Need to Be Reexamined, GAO-05-690 (Washington, D.C.: Sept. 23, 2005), and Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue, GAO-11-318SP (Washington, D.C.: Mar. 1, 2011).
[7]These tax provisions primarily benefit families with higher incomes than those eligible for CCDF or Head Start. For example, more than half of the beneficiaries of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit earned incomes of at least $50,000 annually in fiscal year 2009. In contrast, the Child Care and Development Fund generally limits eligibility to families at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines (that is, about $37,000 or less for a family of 3 in 2011), and Head Start eligibility is closer to 100 percent of the poverty guidelines.
[8]Preliminary fiscal year 2009 data are the latest available for number of children served under CCDF.
[9]As GAO noted in earlier work, tax returns generally do not collect information necessary to assess how often a tax expenditure is used and by whom unless the IRS needs the information or collection is legislatively mandated. See GAO-05-690.
[10]The Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007 required the governor of each state to designate or establish State Advisory Councils, and funds provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 were used to support them. Pub. L. No. 110-134, § 11(b) (codified at 42 U.S.C. § 9837b(b)(1)(A)) and Pub. L. No. 111-5, 123 Stat. 115, 178.
[11] Pub. L. No. 111-352 (2011).The federal investment in early learning and child care is fragmented in that it is administered through 45 programs that provide or may support related services to children from birth through age 5, as well as five tax provisions that subsidize private expenditures in this area.[1] The programs are concentrated within the Departments of Education (Education) and Health and Human Services (HHS)the principal administrators of the federal governments early learning and child care programsbut are also administered by the Departments of Agriculture, the Interior, Justice, Labor, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the General Services Administration (GSA), and the Appalachian Regional Commission. Some of these programs overlap in that they have similar goals for children under the age of 5 and are targeted to similar groups of children. For example, five programs, administered by Education and HHS, provide school readiness services to low-income children, and programs in both Education and the Interior provide funding for early learning services for Indian children.
As the principal administrators of the federal governments early learning and child care programs, and consistent with Educations and HHSs identification of early learning access and quality as priorities, the Secretaries of Education and HHS should
Using the GPRAMA framework, workgroup goals could include mitigating the effects of program fragmentation (for example, through simplifying childrens access to these services), identifying and managing service gaps, meeting data requirements for the coordinated operation and evaluation of these programs, and identifying and minimizing any unwarranted overlap. These efforts could also provide a vehicle to conduct a coordinated analysis of child care tax expenditures and program spending.
The information contained in this analysis is based on findings from the products listed in the related GAO products section as well as additional work GAO conducted. GAO searched the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance to identify federal early learning and child care programs; obtained supplementary information from Education, HHS, and other agencies; and reviewed previous GAO reports on early learning and child care.[1] GAO did not conduct a separate legal review to identify and analyze relevant programs. In its work, GAO identified 45 early learning and child care programs that met its criteria for analysis: those that (1) fund or support early education or child care services; (2) are provided to children under age 5; and (3) deliver services in an educational or child care setting. GAO also identified a subset of 12 programs with early learning and child care as an explicit program purpose. GAO determined that the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance was sufficiently reliable for GAOs purposes by confirming with federal agency officials that the programs identified met GAOs criteria and obtaining information from agencies about any additional programs for GAO consideration. GAO searched the Congressional Research Services 2010 Tax Expenditures: Compendium of Background Material on Individual Provisions to identify five tax expenditures that met similar criteria for early learning and child care.[2] GAO obtained and analyzed descriptions of Education and HHS coordination efforts for early learning and child care programs, but assessing the effectiveness of these two particular agencies coordination efforts was beyond the scope of this study. See pages 371-373 of the PDF version of this report (appendix III) for a list of the programs GAO identified that may have similar or overlapping objectives, provide similar services or be fragmented across government missions. Overlap and fragmentation may not necessarily lead to actual duplication, and some degree of overlap and duplication may be justified. See page 374 of the PDF version of this report (appendix III) for a list of related tax expenditures.
GAO provided a draft of this report section to Education, HHS, and OMB. HHS provided written comments. Education and OMB, as well as HHS, provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.All three agencies agreed on the importance of further coordination of the federal programs supporting early learning and child care. Education explicitly agreed with GAOs recommended action and identified an existing interagency workgroup as a means of coordinating early learning and child care services. This group currently focuses primarily on services for youth from early to late adolescence. HHS acknowledged but did not explicitly agree or disagree with the specific action GAO recommended, while OMB questioned the need for a new interagency working group and the efficiency of including agencies whose programs are not explicitly designed to deliver early learning or child care services. GAO believes that agencies with some, but not extensive, investment in early learning or child care might benefit greatly from such inclusion to reduce any effects of fragmentation. Extending interagency coordination could be efficiently accomplished through an existing workgroup on early learning and child care, for example, by establishing a subcommittee with representation from the additional agencies. GAO has modified the recommended action to clarify that inclusion of these additional agencies does not necessarily entail establishing a new federal interagency workgroup.
HHS also highlighted information on its ongoing coordination efforts and noted concerns with the reports treatment of specific issues. Specifically, HHS stated that the report did not fully explore how program services may be complementary rather than duplicative, take into account that many states jointly administer flexible funding streams to provide services to children and families, or adequately explain the distinction between federally funded early learning and child care programs and federally funded programs that permit the use of funds for the provision of child care. As noted in this report, the complexity of the current service delivery system, combined with data limitations, form significant obstacles to assessing the extent to which services are complementary or duplicative. GAOs report acknowledges the role that states play in coordinating these programs but, as HHSs comments indicate, the extent to which states coordinate the administration of early learning and child care funding streams can and does vary. Moreover, the federal government also has an important role in program administration, necessitating a federal role in coordination. Further, GAO clearly distinguished between programs that have an explicit purpose to provide these services, like CCDF and Head Start, and those that permit the use of funds for these services or that provide supportive services to facilitate such care; however, it remains important to note that some of the latter group, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families nonetheless provide significant funding for child care.
OMB recommended that GAO remove two programs from the list of programs with an explicit early learning or child care purpose; however, GAO did not change the program list because the programs met GAOs criteria.
As part of its routine audit work, GAO will monitor the progress agencies make in addressing this needed action and report to Congress. All written comments are reprinted in appendix IV of the PDF version of this report.

Dunkirk School referendum vote set
The Dunkirk Board of Education officially set Dec. 3 from noon to 9 p.m. as the time eligible voters within the school district can vote on approving Phase IV of the EXCEL Aid Project.
Superintendent Gary Cerne reminded the public that there will only be one polling site on the day of the vote.
"The Dec. 3 referendum vote will be held in the auxiliary gym (in the high school), as we discussed," he said. "We did our exit poll last year and, again, it saves us a few dollars rather than having all the polling sites."
The $3.8 million Phase IV will entail work at the high school and is intended to finish up exterior site work, as well as some interior renovations inside the main building. The major components of the project that will be completed include an access road through Veteran's Field behind the school from Van Miller Way to Marauder Drive, renovations and upgrades to various athletic fields, a new, 23-station computer lab and the relocation of the guidance office more toward the front of the school.
If the public approves the vote, Cerne said the next step will be final designing of the projects. Phase IV will begin the summer of 2015 and could potentially be completed within one construction season.
Also during the meeting, the board approved a contract extension for Dunkirk Police Officer Denise Zentz to continue on as the school resource officer for the new school year. Zentz has been the school's SRO for several years already and will be paid $10,410.77 per month for her services. The contract will need to be renewed at the end of 2013.
A resolution approving the extension of transportation contracts for the new school year was also approved. The total cost of the services is about $618,000.
Several change orders for Phase III of the capital project were also approved during the meeting. The change orders total about $13,500. Phase III is expected to be completed next summer and will entail window work at the middle school and interior corridor work and an overhaul of the library media center at School Seven.
The board also approved the appointment of several staff members within the district, including two cleaners at $11.39 an hour, a temporary English teacher at a salary of $45,860 and a social worker at a salary of $44,445.
The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the large group instruction room of the administrative building.

I've been fumbling with acts_as_ferret and have been successful searching on model at a time. The creator of the plugin has been pretty helpful, but I still cant get sitewide search working, which makes me wonder if I am trying to do things the hard way.
Anyone else out there doing sitewide, multiple-model searches in Rails?
