ESA Bestows Sara E. Jackson Award to Industry Vet
The Electronic Security Association (ESA) honored industry veteran Sam Fiske with the 2014 Sara E. Jackson Award on Wednesday at the ESA Leadership Summit in Orlando, Fla.
January 22, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Electronic Security Association (ESA) honored industry veteran Sam Fiske with the 2014 Sara E. Jackson Award on Wednesday at the ESA Leadership Summit in Orlando, Fla.
Named for ESA's president from 1950-51, the Sara E. Jackson Award recognizes an ESA volunteer who has exhibited exceptional leadership skills as a member of an association committee, task force or board.
Fiske started in the security business more than 17 years ago as marketing director at Franklin, N.C.-based Smoky Mountain Systems. He now serves as general manager and COO of the company.
Fiske joined ESA shortly after joining Smoky Mountain Systems, serving on a wide range of task forces and advisory committees and is currently chair of the association's membership committee.
He also has been active in the North Carolina Electronic Security Association (NCESA), serving as treasurer for the past seven years.
His ability to get things done at all levels is a major reason why ESA President John Knox selected Fiske for the award.
"Leadership is Sam's strong suit," Knox says. "He knows how to talk to people. He's good at providing direction for the membership committee, but he also works behind the scenes. Sam does a great job at holding people accountable, and he always does it with respect. Everything he does is with the association's best interests in mind."

Reviews of this property
Organization: top
Apartment: very nice
Location: top (inner city but quiet)
Any time again :-)
Thank you.
Great apartment. Clean and comfortable and with all the necessaries such as fridge, cooker, shower, TV, wireless internet, etc.
The great thing about this apartment is its location. On the Pest side of the river close to shops, restaurants and ruin pubs. Within a few hundred yards of the Opera House and Opera metro station. Another three metro stations are within walking distance. The Budapest "hop on hop off bus" stops just outside the Opera House.
It is just off the lovely Andrassy Avenue and central for most of Budapest's attractions.
I would recommend the apartment to friends and would stay here again when visiting Budapest.
Execente where apartment is just a few meters from one of the metro stations. As an apartment is very quiet inside which is great for relaxing after long days of sightseeing but no pretty sight and that for this reason the windows facing walls. If traveling with lots of luggage, you need to be strong or make several trips up the stairs as there is no elevator. But assessing the pros and cons, we, Lumphini!!
Situación del apartamento es execente a tan solo unos metros de una de las paradas del metro. Como es un apartamento interior es muy tranquilo lo cual es genial para descansar despues de los largos dias de turismo aunque ninguna vista bonita ya que por este motivo las ventanas dan a muros. Si viajas con mucho equipaje, necesitas estar fuerte o hacer varios viajes por las escaleras puesto que no hay ascensor. Pero valorando los pros y los contras, nosotros, repetiriamos!!!!
Bèla is wonderful; friendly and precise.
The apartment is as in the description. It's equipped with all the comforts (hairdryer,
washin machine, towels ext...).
and the apartment location is perfect, one of the best to visit, enjoy and live Budapest (also below the apartment there are small market,bar... and around the corner, 24h markets).
finally turn the corner and be in front of the Opera is spectacular !!!
Thank you so much Bèla, I hope to retur soon.
Perfect location. Clean comfortable and well equipped. Gloria was very helpful also. Would highly recommend! Will stay again if visiting Budapest. Thanks also for booking us in for an extra night as such last minute!
I've been in this apartment for two nights.We were in three young people.
The owner is really helpful,kind and always available if you need something.
The apartment is in a great zone in the center and near the metro station.
We would recommend it!
We really enjoy our stay in Budapest!
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It is located next door to the Opera in a quiet backyard and well equipped. Most windows are facing a close-by wall, but for us at least this had the great advantage that the apartment remained nice and cool despite the hot temperatures outside (we visited Budapest during a hot weekend in August). We also rented the parking lot, which is conveniently located in a courtyard just a few minutes walk away. The host was very friendly, and we would stay here again!
We stayed in the apartment Pozole which is next door from the Opera. The apartment is located in a very central location, in a very hip and young neigbourhood, around the corner from the fashionable Andrassy Ut. The apartment is in a very nice, quiet and clean building, and the apartment itself is a very quiet place. The apartment is spacious and has all facilities necessary, well equiped kitchen, tv (mostly Hungarian channels), fast and working wifi, bathroom, bedroom, etc. Towels and sheets were included, as well as extra covers and pillows. A hairdrier and washing machine and dishwasher is present. The place was rather clean, however not comparable to cleanliness in a good hotel. The one inconvenience is the lack of light and of view as the apartment looks out on a blind wall, which one can't see from the pictures on the website. The host was friendly and professional, and was very accomodating with regard to a later check-out and the possibility to leave the luggage in the apartment until our departure to the apartment. The mandatory city tax of 4% on the total apartment price was payable in cash upon arrival. We can recommend this apartment.

Playboy.com's Picks 2012: Albums
2012 saw several artists back from dead: Dylan, Cohen, the Boss, but it's the newcomers that stole the show
Every year about this time, lists recapping the year's best whatever start to surface, and we're telling you right now they're all bogus, save ours.
Over the next few weeks, Playboy.com's Picks 2012 will provide you with the year in review, from movies to music to viral trends, political and celebrity scandals and even ideas. We're showcasing the year's best across the board and on tap this week: the year's best music albums.
Check out Playboy.com's Picks for Movies, Top Viral Trends and Celebrity Scandals.
Band of Horses – Mirage Rock
Ben Bridwell has made it pretty damn near impossible to pin down the bedrock influences of his little Southern rock revival project, Band of Horses; Everything All the Time had a raw ELO-y feel, Cease to Begin walked a tightrope between old country folk and indie fad, a la The Shins, and Infinite Arms, their best-selling album to date, treaded terribly close to the Canadian sound, a sort of Weakerthans/Matt Mays melodic mélange.
So it comes as no surprise that Mirage Rock, the band's fourth studio album, is as slippery as a snake, combing through the ages of rock 'n' roll for a finely curated sound. Part Zeppelin aesthetic (the power chords punctuated by high hanging notes on "How to Live"), part "Horse with No Name" America (the ghostly calm vocals and bouncing melodies on "Slow Cruel Hands of Time" and "Dumpster World") with some Stones Sticky Fingers ("Everything's Gonna Be Undone") and some '90s thrash ("Feud") thrown in just for good measure. You might think there's no way one band can pull off all these influences on one album, but you'd be wrong; Mirage Rock, so aptly named, shifts seamlessly and is tied together by musicians who are hitting their peak and with any luck can stay there for some time.
Kendrick Lamar – good kid, m.A.A.d city
Out from behind all the curtains that have cloaked hip-hop since its humble beginnings—the stage names, the boasts, the coasts, the bling and the bitches—comes Kendrick Lamar, a Compton-born artist whose critical acclaim was established long before his first major label release, good kid, m.A.A.d city. With an internet following as rabid as any celebrity cat's and collabos with BFDs like Dre, Drake, Young Jeezy, Talib Kweli and Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar has been consorting with some pretty heavy company for quite some time.
Which makes this release all the more mysterious; Lamar rose to fame on the back of self-released mixtapes and independent labels, perhaps biding his time, mastering his craft before going mainstream. Sure, he popped up here and there and for a while held the moniker K-Dot, but we only got a taste; even his independent release Section.80 didn't give us the full picture. good kid, m.A.A.d city does. A concept album in an age of singles, it sheds all the pretensions so commonly associated with a rap star hitting the big time and just features some raw lyrics, complex but well-crafted production and some staple West Coast hooks.
Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls
Lost among the months, among release after release from seasoned veterans like Dylan, Springsteen, Cohen and the Stones, came Alabama Shakes, a sort of throwback to simpler times when samples and synthesizers didn't dictate the pop charts, when the lyrical genius and musical mastery of the aforementioned forefathers did.
They call it roots rock and rightly so; the blues and soul sounds of Boys & Girls are not so much an underlying theme as an overwhelming sensation. Lead singer Brittany Howard's vocals are expansive (Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone noted she's got "as much Robert Plant as Janis Joplin") over the deep bass riffs that carry the album and are punctuated only by the lofty twang of Heath Fogg's guitar. The album's first single, "Hold On," is a testament to the simplistic beauty only the fusion of Southern blues and soul can create; "You Ain't Alone" has Howard's full vocal range on display; "Heartbreaker" brings in some swing; and the album's title track "Boys & Girls" caps it all off, balancing the loneliness of the genres with the complexity of the music. All in all, it's an exceptional first album for a band that came literally from rural obscurity into the limelight in only one short year. Their only problem now will be following it up.
Honorable Mentions: Tempest by Bob Dylan, Life Is Good by Nas, Swing Lo Magellan by The Dirty Projectors and Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

ISO feedback about our middle schools!
Original post made by parent, Green Acres, on Apr 15, 2012
What about your experiences with the choice programs: Direct Instruction (at Terman), Connections (at JLS), and Spanish Immersion (at Jordan)?
I would most like to hear recent experiences and current opinions. Have the social environments improved in the middle school with all these district initiatives on connectedness, especially at Terman?

You live in the Terman attendance area so you will have no choice unless you are intending on moving to another attendance area or driving your child to school every day for a choice program. People usually attend the school in their attendance area and make the best of it because the grass is not greener on the other side.
There are pros and cons at every middle school. No one school is loved by all.
Connections and Direct Instruction only separates children even more because they are with the same students all the time, rather than helping them connect with other students. I think it stifles children because they will not adjust well to high school. Middle school is the time to make mistakes before high school, therefore, it should be like high school.

Terman is great. I think the school does a lot to integrate 6th graders beginning with Tiger camp There is a social kindness program that is worked into the curriculum. Each grade has their own counselor who stays with them throughout their 3 years in middle school. Sixth grades take all their core subjects with the same set of kids and 2 teachers, but are mixed up for PE, music and electives. This includes the DI students.

I have a 6th grader at JLS and could not be more pleased with the school. Contrary to what poster Kate states above, Connections kids have some of their classes with non-Connections kids so it is not isolating, as she states.

I have heard bad things about the social environment at Terman in the past, particularly about kindness and bullying, and I was wondering if the initiatives have worked. They sound good but you never know how things work out in practice.
Does JLS feel like a big school? It's much bigger than Terman, isn't it?

Parent, you cannot find a middle school which has no bullying. There is bullying at every single middle school here, and probably in the nation. Middle school is just a time when bullying occurs. Even private schools have bullying. This is not to say it's equal to inner-city schools here. I'm just saying it occurs every now and then because children have mouths, especially with all the social networking these days where people can be aggressive behind their computers and it transfers to real life.
You might try a mini school such as Woodside Priory, where class sizes are 12, and perhaps bullying is more contained, but students are sly and know to bully when no adult is around.
There are anti-bullying campaigns at the schools and all, but when it comes down to it, the schools cannot regulate home life and parenting. If parents are doing a poor job and their child has no respect for others, the schools can only do so much. It takes a lot to kick out a bully from a public school and that would usually have to be physical violence, not just verbal. And even if a student uses self-defense, the student can get in trouble for engaging. So the word to students is: just take the hit and then tattle.
a resident of Green Acres

Dear Kate,
Respectfully, I would ask for your and everyone else's specific feedback about our middle schools, rather than broad speculations and opinions about bullying. I don't buy the argument that bullying is equal at every school, because my experience differs with that contention, nor do I buy the defeatist idea that proactive measures don't work. However, if you'd like to have a discussion about bullying in general, please start a new thread.
Being more blunt, I have heard there was a "culture of bullying" at Terman, and that the kids at JLS tended to be more kind and connected. It is a much larger school, though, and the administration at Terman has done so much to be proactive about creating a positive environment, I would like to know from parents with actual experience if it is working.
I would also like to know if Connections kids do well in our high schools? Anyone have direct experience?
a resident of Stanford
on Apr 17, 2012 at 1:06 pm
Dear Green Acres Parent,
I would suggest stating that Terman has a "culture of bullying" is relying on the type of broad speculation that you decry.. I don't know where you get your information or how dated it is, but you should visit the schools, talk to the assistant principals and principals, observe in classrooms and talk to parents active in the PTA. You are describing a place I haven't heard of, nor do I believe that any Palo Alto school would tolerate such a generalized negative environment as you describe. If you like the Palo Alto schools for elementary schools, you are likely to feel the same way about the middle schools. There are smart, thoughtful, experienced people working there who understand the developmental stages of pre-teens and help guide them through their middle school education process. While individual instances of bullying are nearly impossible to prevent, there is broad support and acceptance of the social kindness program which permeates the curriculum. You are more likely to hear a 6th grader talking about the eighth grader who helps in their classroom, which class and grade is ahead in sprit points and what the theme of the next dance is rather than worries about being bullied.

Well said, Terman Parent, although I think talking to administration and PTA won't provide the answers being sought - diving in and finding out if it is a good fit is the only way to really know. Can't really send out a survey to all parents. And administration does to a great job of stopping bullying in its tracks.
It seems to me that the original poster is seeking input on social environments of the schools and whether there is bullying or not, thus her gossip of "culture of bullying." And "larger school" doesn't equate with less bullying.
As I mentioned prior, no one school is perfect for everyone. Maybe only a few parents had bullying issues but that is to be expected in middle school in general. I have heard both good and bad about every PAUSD middle school.

A friend has a child in Connections at JLS and there is bullying there also. She doesn't like Connections, while I have another friend who has a child with issues and they love Connections. Some people think it's better to have their children with the same children (as in elementary school) but what if the children they are with are not ideal? My children couldn't wait to get to middle school to meet new people.
Because bullying is mentioned above, it doesn't correlate with your child being bullied. Not everyone encounters bullying.
Parent of Green Acres, you really have the best intentions, but there are too many variables to be able to make an educated guess as what's best for your child because everyone has a different opinion with children with different experiences. And there are different students each year.
a resident of Jordan Middle School
on Apr 17, 2012 at 8:14 pm
I have had a shy son and extroverted daughter go through Jordan, and the district, Jordan staff and entire school community have been very good for both of my kids, though each had very different exposures and experiences.
I think the district in general, and the schools specifically are very concerned about the social and emotional well being of each of student, and do as good a job as they can to ensure bullying, teasing, and any social isolation is minimized.
You as the parent are going to be the best judge of what kind of learning environment is the best fit for your family values, and what is going to fit best for your child. I would make a personal visit to each school to get a feel for what it's like. If you can go during a book fair or community gathering, you can really see a lot. Good luck! We are lucky to live in such a great school district, and there really are no bad choices.
a resident of Green Acres
on Apr 17, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Thank you for sharing your experience about Jordan.
@Terman parent,
I didn't state that Terman has a "culture of bullying". That was one of many concerning things I had heard from a parent and wanted to get further input. I don't have an opinion - that is why I am asking. I wouldn't even have brought it up except that Kate got on an off-topic soap box, making lots of inappropriate assumptions, but never bothered to leave a post about her experience with Jordan to answer my question. She's now followed me to this thread from another one, and in all of that, has not once left her input about the school!
Please note that I haven't said anything at all about my own interests, experience, and children. You and Kate have now spent a lot of words to berate me because you've both made broad assumptions about intent that just aren't there. Kate went off of the topic of bullying, not me.
You were quite defensive for a reason, so you must have positive experience to share. WILL YOU PLEASE DO ME THE COURTESY OF SIMPLY READING MY ORIGINAL QUESTION AND SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE? IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE TO SHARE, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT! DITTO ON ANY OTHER EXPERIENCE! (That's all! Sheesh!)

I see you have started a third thread, but I doubt if you will get the information you are seeking here.
My advice would be for you to talk to parents in your elementary school who also have middle school students, talk to neighbors, and get in touch with the PTAs at the various middle schools and talk to those parents. A face to face conversation, perhaps over a coffee, may provide you with honest feedback with the opportunity to ask supplemental questions much better than an anonymous parent requesting information from an anonymous online forum.
Also, remember that most middle school parents will have only experienced one middle school and not able to compare against any other school.

Hi Resident,
Thanks for the suggestion, but out of a very large parent community at my elem school, I know very few with middle school students. Ditto on the neighbors, at least for recent experience. Those I do know have already offered their opinions. I was hoping to get input from the broader community.
I'm a part of a number of online communities, I have to admit to being disappointed with this Town Square experience - lots of people holding up score cards for various things, many opinions going off topic -- sometimes it even feels like that gossip game where the next person who takes up a sentence hears and passes on something completely different -- but very few answers to the question I asked! (I thought it was pretty simple and straightforward!)
a resident of Green Acres
on Apr 18, 2012 at 7:10 pm
It looks like the third thread got deleted. Apparently the Weekly isn't confident I'll get any information, either. I guess most of the middle school parents don't post on these boards! Very discouraging to get such vociferous input from some parents who never answered the question asked!
a resident of Terman Middle School
on Apr 20, 2012 at 9:35 am
Dear Parent,
It may be hard to answer your question because middle school lasts for such a short time. Unless you have more than one child, you don't observe the school over an extended period of time for the middle school years. I will try to describe the atmosphere through my child's experience. My child's heard a lot of rumors about bullying in the 5th grade. For the first week of the school year, the 6th graders are broken into "tribes" - each tribe consists of students from each of the feeder schools plus new students. Each tribe spends orientation and assessment time with all the 6th grader teachers. At the end of the week, the students are placed in classes. By that point, they know all the teachers and many other administrators. It is hoped that they can call on members of their "tribe" as the year goes on. The core class meets for Math and Science, (one teacher) and Language Arts and Social Studies (another teacher). Then the core class is split up for Music, PE and a rotating elective. DI students are the same as the other students. They have their DI core class, but are mixed up with different students for each of PE, Music and electives, so all students meet other 6th graders beyond their core class. In September, all students are encouraged to participate in the Science Fair. The projects are not graded and can be done individually or in a group. The projects are evaluated by parent and teacher judges who ask each student about their project. There is a big science fair night where the whole school gathers - 6th, 7th and 8th graders and their families gather to present and look at each others projects and talk about their experiments. My experience was that it was a further bonding experience for the 6th graders as they went looking at other students' projects and talked to them. There are parent scientists who help the students with their project ideas. In November, the entire 6th grade spends 3 or 4 nights away at Science Camp in the Marin Headlands. They travel together by buses. Again, my experience was that this was a big bonding experience where my child met additional members of the 6th grade class. They spend their time in a small group with a guide and sleep in a large dormitory atmosphere and eat in a cafeteria. Listening to my child talk to her friend in the carpool, it became clear that the two of them knew who most of the students in the class were fairly quickly. The 2 teachers who teach DI also teach another Non DI core section. My sense is the the DI experience mirrors the experience of the other members of the class and isn't significantly different. In the fall, there is a Teacher conference with both the parent and student, so you and your child get feedback together on how the student is doing. That experience was very positive for my child because the teachers broke down things they saw that were positive and offered praise and encouragement, as well as goal setting. The principal at Terman is in her 2nd year and seems very low key, but very thoughtful. In one of my child's classes, an eighth grader served as a volunteer, and it was a great opportunity for the 6th graders to know an eighth grader - he was very outgoing and there was a lot of camaraderie. On some Wednesdays during a "homeroom" period, eighth graders would come and play games with the 6th graders. There are activities that include all 3 classes - such as crazy hair and pajama days where classes are awarded some kind of "spirit" points and there is a year long friendly competition. There are times where these include games and races where each class has a representative - such as a donut eating contest. It seems like the 2 pair of teachers each include one teacher who is strict. My child has kept old friends and made new friends. The issue that arose in the social atmosphere regarded the first school dance where some kids started asking other kids for "dates." At the dances, there are always some slow dances and it seems the sixth graders will push a boy and a girl into the center to dance together. Sometimes they dance and somethings, they don't. There also seemed to be a "popular" crowd anointed early on based on being interested in boy/girl pairings. I find that my child's and friends don't participate in this because they are not interested in the opposite sex at this point. There is a guidance counselor who the students can go visit during the day and who helps with social and academic problems. She is very accessible and knows all the students by name. She keeps a jar of candy in her office which helps with her popularity. There are many clubs that meet during lunch time, based on students interests. In the 6th grade class, I assume there are difficult social interactions, but they seem more likely to be small group issues, rather than class wide issues. I hope this gives you some feel for the nature of social interactions at one Palo Alto middle school.

The Proposed 2011 Family Engagement in Education Act
The Family Engagement in Education Act (H.R.1821/S.941) incentivizes schools and districts to meaningfully engage families to close the achievement gap. This bill was introduced on May 10, 2011 in the House of Representatives by Rep. Todd Platts (R-PA) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), and in the Senate by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) and Sen. Christopher Coons (D-DE). Research demonstrates that family engagement in a child's education increases student achievement, improves attendance, and reduces the dropout rate.

New Video — Parent Involvement In Education: The Key To Future Success
School-age children spend 70% of their waking hours, including weekends and holidays, outside of school. It's no surprise that the family can have a dramatic impact on a child's learning and academic success — in fact, the greater the involvement, the greater the impact on a child's health achievement. น้ำมันงาดำ.net

When Texas wide receiver Marquise Goodwin met the media at the NFL Scouting combine, he was peppered with questions about track and field.
"I am a football guy that just happens to jump really far,"Goodwin said.
And he isn't just one dimensional.
"Track guys really have linear speed and I have proved that I don't just have linear speed," Goodwin said.
And as for his last year at Texas?
"Its all about opportunity, the times that I was given opportunity and the ball was in my hands I did something with it," Goodwin said. "I made explosive plays every time."
Goodwin also talked about the Olympics, blocking, and much more.

President Obama Looks Towards His Agenda
Making progress - that's President Obama's message as he heads to Mexico Thursday - where immigration will take center stage.
Several of the President's second term goals seem up in the air, but President Obama says he's not underwater yet.
Hammered by budget cuts and his failed effort to pass gun control, President Obama tells reporters: don't count me out yet. "I'm actually confident that there are a range of things that we're going to be able to get done," declared President Barack Obama.
Like immigration reform. "That's going to be a historic achievement," said The President.
The president heads to Mexico tomorrow with a bill moving through congress. The question is whether or not it will get through congress - analysts think it can: "the reason he can get it done is because republicans don't dare turn those Hispanic voters down," said CNBC Chief Washington Correspondent John Harwood.
Not so optimistic on the budget. Meat inspectors and air traffic controllers got a pass, but the President says, "that's not a solution."
With a hunger strike underway, he's determined to try to close Guantanamo Bay, again, but says -- not so fast on dealing with Syria: "If we end up rushing to judgment without hard, effective evidence, then we can find ourselves in the position where we can't mobilize the international community to support what we do." President Barack Obama
Lawmakers who went back home this week are also under fire. "I am just wondering why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn't more important than that," says Erica Lafferty whose Mother was killed at Sandy Hook.
"Let me just say, I'm obviously so sorry[.]"All of us want to make sure that doesn't happen again," said Senator Kelly Ayotte, (R) New Hampshire.
Headed back to deal with part two of The President's agenda.

Challenge: Reading, writing, and speaking English well are all critical skills for living the American dream. Nineteen states have reported an increase of more than 50 percent in English language learners over the last three yearsand that growth is expected to continue. America's schools need help.
Solution: Provide states with new tools to increase oral and written language proficiency in English: higher academic standards, and highly qualified teachers. President Bush has requested research to identify and implement in the classroom the best ways for students whose first language is not English to learn to speak, read, and write English in a fluent manner.
Speaking and reading English well is essential for success in America.
- Under No Child Left Behind, the academic progress of every child will be tested in reading and math, including those learning English. All English language learners will be tested annually to measure how well they are learning English, so their parents will know how they are progressing. States and schools will be held accountable for results.
- Research shows that students who can't read or write in English have a greater likelihood of dropping out of school, and they often face a lifetime of diminished opportunity.
No Child Left Behind gives states the freedom to find the best methods of instruction.
- The new law does not dictate a particular method of instruction for learning English and other academic content.
- States and local education agencies must establish English proficiency standards and provide quality language instruction, based on scientific research for English acquisition, in addition to quality academic instruction in reading and math.
- States and local education agencies must place highly qualified teachers in classrooms where English language learners are taught.
- Children who are becoming fluent in English are also learning in academic content areas such as reading and math, and they will be tested in these areas so they are not left behind.
No Child Left Behind encourages all schools to use scientifically based instruction methods. For this reason, President Bush has called for new research to study the best ways to teach young boys and girls to become fluent in English. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the Department of Education's Office of Evaluation, Research and Improvement, Office of English Language Acquisition, and Office of Special Education are sponsoring research into:
- The most effective ways to spur English language learning for Spanish-speaking children;
- The most effective methods for teaching children who may use a non-Roman alphabet (such as Korean, Chinese, Navajo and Russian) and how to transfer their skills to learning English;
- And methods for teaching all young learners.
The President's budget provides $665 million in 2004 to help English language learners acquire English language skills. This is a 49 percent increase over 2001 and includes $68 million set aside to prepare teachers of English language learners.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes his squad has turned the corner and can now put a strong run of results together.
Arsenal advanced to the Champions League Group Stage for the 14th consecutive year last month but they stuttered in the Premier League, picking up one point from the first three fixtures.
Last weekend's 1-0 win over Swansea City turned things around and Wenger wants his players to build further momentum at Blackburn on Saturday.
"That is what we want to achieve and hopefully it will go as planned," he said.
"We know that we will be tested in every single game in the Premier League and Shrewsbury in the Carling Cup will be difficult. Let's just show that we can win the next one, the next one is Blackburn.
"They are a good side. They got a point last week at Fulham and were a bit unlucky against Everton. So let's prepare ourselves for a difficult opponent.
"You lose your confidence quickly and you gain it back slowly. You only gain it back with hard work and that is what we want to show at Blackburn."
The full interview with Wenger is now available. He discusses: the team's search for confidence, Laurent Koscielny's encouraging form, a new system for set-pieces, confidence in his transfer window captures and Blackburn's start to the season.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

When I spoke with Treasurer Gina Raimondo this week, I opened with the obligatory question about whether she'll run for governor.
"I'm seriously considering it," she said. "But I think as you know — we've talked about it before — I have little kids: a six-year-old, an eight-year-old. I'm a mother. It's a big deal."
It was, on some level, a standard bit of deflection from a politician on the rise; no one seriously believes Raimondo — accomplished, ambitious, and possessed of an enormous war chest — will pass on next year's gubernatorial race.
But it's hard to imagine a similarly positioned man putting parenthood and his young children front-and-center in his public deliberations.
Indeed, Gina Raimondo's gubernatorial candidacy seems destined to be a deeply gendered affair, not least because of its history-making potential.
Rhode Island is one of just two New England states that's never seen a woman in the governor's office (Maine is the other). And it's the only state in the region that hasn't put a woman in either the governor's chair or the US Senate — a chamber many observers imagine as Raimondo's final destination.
That is, unless she lands in the Oval Office.
Yes, the expectations surrounding Raimondo are grand. And if she's well-positioned to vault through a glass ceiling or two, it may — oddly — be male voters who get her there.
Given Rhode Island's dismal record of electing women to high office, you'd expect female politicos to engage in a good bit of kvetching about the state's old-boy network and cultural conservative streak.
But you'll find less of that than you might imagine.
Sure, voters have rejected the handful of women who ran for high office in recent decades: Myrth York, the thrice-defeated gubernatorial candidate, and Congressional candidates Kate Coyne-McCoy, Jennifer Lawless, and Betsy Dennigan.
But York can claim partial victories — winning the Democratic nomination three times. And many observers suggest her general election defeats owed more to strategic mistakes than a hot sexist streak in the Rhode Island electorate.
Coyne-McCoy, Lawless, and Dennigan, for their part, all lost to a man steeped in the advantages of incumbency. James Langevin was a well-liked Secretary of State when he beat Coyne-McCoy for a Congressional seat in 2000 and a well-established incumbent when he brushed off later challenges from Lawless and Dennigan.
"I'm not ready to conclude that there's something about [gender attitudes in] Rhode Island," says Lawless, now the director of the Women & Politics Institute at American University in Washington. The lesson from the three Congressional races, she said, might simply be "that Jim Langevin is tough to beat."
Indeed, a big-picture look suggests that Rhode Island isn't all that different than the country as a whole.
Women hold the mayoralties of just 12 of the nation's 100 largest cities. There are only five women governors nationwide. And while much has been made of the historic number of women in Washington this year — the New York Times recently ran a front-page feature on women's growing clout in the Senate — only about 20 percent of Congress is female.

Seven degrees of personalities come together to form one killer product
in CAPCOM's KILLER 7 for Nintendo Gamecube
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -July 11, 2003 - Capcom Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced new details on its stylized hard boiled action adventure
Killer 7 for the Nintendo GameCube. Featuring striking cel-shaded visuals, Killer 7 chronicles the connection between two men whose intertwined paths develop into a compelling tale of fate, revenge, and altering personas. Killer 7 propels players into the consciousness of one man, and his seven different personalities, in an effort to stop a wave of disconcerting indiscriminate terrorism that is plaguing the world. Killer 7 is scheduled to be released in 2004. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating is pending.
In Killer 7, players take on the role of Harman Smith an unlikely assassin who lives life at his own pace. Switching between seven different personalities, he employs each character s abilities to terminate targets he deems deserving to die. Years have passed and violence and instability have started to beleaguer developed nations. People with crazed and distorted smiles are appearing throughout the world. Anyone with this Heaven s Smile becomes violent and begin attacking anyone within close proximity. Now these crazed soldiers have started to overthrow huge city governments and have even taken the life of Harman s beloved Suzy. It is up to the player to utilize the special powers that dwell within Harman s seven partners to assassinate Kun Lan, the powerful underworld kingpin behind it all.
Among the many features Killer 7 will deliver are:
· Distinctive and visually stunning approach to cel shaded environments
· Unique cast of playable characters. Each persona has different strengths, special abilities and powers that help Harman proceed through the game.

Re: baked doughnuts
Maree do you do kitty treats too?
I am owned by three very spoilt cats and gourmet kitty treats sound just the thing to prevent them from plotting my downfall.

Re: baked doughnuts
Hi Sadie (? Is that what I call you?). No I don't do cat treats only because I don't have a cat to taste-test the product.My dog was the start of the business when I took time to read the labels on the commercial ranges available.
Lots of people have asked about a possible cat range at Farmers'/Growers'Markets etc.So there is a demand.My dog eats "anything" so I could try them on her. As it is I give broken biscuits or misshapen biscuits to the local animal shelter. Am sure they would be grateful for my cat treat experiments.
Tell me, how hard are cat treats? I bake the dog ones really hard to clean their teeth (except the "birthday cake" mini muffins).
Get back to me and, I'll speak with my accountant re setting up a cat side to the business. If he's OK, perhaps your feline friends might like to be taste-testers, via "freebie" samples in the mail.
Wish there was a personal messenger area. My computer has died and I'm using a BlackBerry til I have time to investigate buying a new one.

Mann Lake has a wholesale price program which reduces the cost of their molds by about 1/3. They require a $200 initial purchase and then a $50 minimum after that. I had put together an order which in retail was over $225 and then remembered their wholesale program and with the discount was about $140+ . For instance the nativity set is $204.95 in the catalog and $143.47 wholesale. It also has disconts on all candle supplies like their dye and wicks. All you have to do is ask them and they will email a pdf price list to you or if you send me your email I'll forward mine. Hope this saves youe some money.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by AI IS GOD, Feb 5, 2009.
Pistons coach might start McDyess | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press Enjoy
Well, he may as well just go ahead and do it. Starting him for the last 20 games of the season is a great way to get him in shape for the playoffs. With a player like Dyess, you gotta push him.
Seriously, he should do it because it might make his rotations more manageable. Then again, can Sheed and Dyess both go 44 minutes a game? The thing that stinks is Curry is clearly panicking and changing the line-up or at least suggesting it for what, the 20th time this year. Crazy.
These guys are pro athletes. They should be able to go 48 minutes per night. We work 9 hour days and they can't even put an hour in at about $100K/hr? Start AI/Rip/Tay/Dyess/Sheed and don't put in any subs. Just play the best players the entire game. No excuses. Play harder than the other team. They can rest in June after we get the trophy.
Its not about playing 48 minutes a game, its about being physically capable to play hard 48 minutes a game. This is a lot different than what desk jockeys etc. do. Think more in terms of exercise not working. I am posting on the internet now which is much less taxing than playing NBA defense.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I hadn't ditched the pony tail a couple of years ago and gone short I would be pulling my hair out right now.
If we go to a 6-man rotation, we could upgrade those 6 guys by trading bench players. Rip + Kwame + Acker for D. Wyade. Prince + Amir + Herrmann + Maxiell + Bynum for P. Pierce. Sheed + Afflalo + Sharpe for Amare Staudemire. We'd be left with: AI Wyade Pierce Dyess Amare With Stuckey off the bench. Seriously, what is the point in wasting all the $ on bench players?
dba, you had a ponytail. I would have never guessed. I love short hair since I chopped my dreds. Who didn't see a lineup change coming? Seriously, this is as predictable, as the next lineup change in a week or so.
That's what the summer and MC's training camps are for, to be prepared to go hard in the games when they're called on. Me, I sit on my ass all night when I get home so my butt won't be sore at work.
One of the best posts of the season. I don't think it will take much from Tay to pass him off as a robot. That might allow them to sneak Stuckey out there as a 6th object.
Does this mean Kwame's benched?
same news , different source McDyess might end up a Pistons starter | detnews.com | The Detroit News
After J-Max gets his shot at starting, Joe is going to have to sign some additional bigs to 10-days so MC can keep up with this "musical big man" fiasco. PF/Cs for the remainder of the season will likely include: Pops Mensah Michael Doleac Scott Pollard Fatoine Walker ...Is Kelvin Kato available?
Why wait another 15 games before doing it if he thinks it would work well? Why not try it now? hahaha...Curry making assumptions the Pistons will even make the postseason...talk about putting the cart before the horse
Can't say that I'm surprised of another lineup change coming from Captain Clueless himself.
What if we start a lineup of all expiring contracts? AI Acker Herrmann Dyess Sheed This way, we will really get our money's worth from those guys before they leave. The guys who are committed long-term can use this season to rest.
My sentiments exactly.
Dice is beasting off the bench. Why change it now? Oh wait, Curry. Can't roll with the same lineup for more than a week at a time.
They can do it especially if they bebound with sensurgency and hit their fritos.
Separate names with a comma.

Local businesses honor veterans
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Local businesses spent Monday honoring the brave men and woman who serve our country. Several businesses offered their appreciation with special deals for veterans. Executive Car Wash in Palm Desert offered veterans free car washes in gratitude for their service. "I think it's a great idea, we really appreciate it," said Allan McClure. He was joined by several other veterans who lined up to get their cars washed and share stories with each other. "It means a lot that I can come down here and see other veterans and know that this place here, Executive Car Wash is giving something back to us," said Douglas Hibl.
The car wash was not the only location offering something special for veterans. BNP Paribas Open tournament director Steve Simon and his staff did their part to salute the servicemen and women. The tournament is offering veterans two free tickets to the Friday night session of the tournament. The night is special because it features the "Salute to Heroes," a special ceremony to honor those who serve our country. "They've done so much for our country," said Simon. "For us to say, that we're doing something great is very hard, and humbling when you think about what they're doing, and delivering for us. From our perspective, it's the very least we can do." The tickets are available to veterans until the actual session of the tournament in March, and as long as seats are open.
Veterans were also able to eat free. California Pizza Kitchen offered vets a free pizza and non-alcoholic beverage, a small token of appreciation for all their service. "It's a great experience for me," said Angus Desveaux. " All of our veterans appreciate the Palm Springs restaurants that offer all this free food to veterans on Veterans Day.
Vietnam War veteran George Thurston appreciates all the free things, but it's the appreciation from Americans young and old that means the most to him. "This mother and her two daughters, one came up that was maybe 6 years old, 7 years old, the other one a little bit older, they came up, and it just makes you feel good," said Thurston.

A few more... that's Clint Eastwood (yes THAT Clint Eastwood) in the second photo...
the civette? yea, i'm doing the same thing. except i have a mini tunnel already that was included to help with chassis flex when the top is off, so it makes things a little easier to stuff in, theoretically. at least i'm hoping it's big enough to accept a torque tube.
i still think the entire drivetrain should fit just fine with everything removed and a hole cut to fit the trans. but i need to do a ton of measurements to confirm. will also need to order shortened axles to fit under the chassis better, but that can be ordered.
i slept on it, and the overall negativity i've received on paying to get this done is starting to bug me now to the point i might just go and do the cutting and mounting myself once i acquire the drivetrain. i'm not sure if that's a great idea or the worst thing i could think of, but it's sounding more and more like a good idea. it's just a sawzall, right? i have a few buddies willing to come help mount the subframes and make sure i mount and wire things up correctly. i've also got a lead on a welder willing to come to me, tack weld whatever points i need to mount the chassis. once i'm happy with how it sits, it goes off to a shop for professional welding of everything, and closing up of the trans tunnel. the frame will also be reinforced during this time, and maybe a roll cage if they feel it's absolutely necessary. i can't decide on fuel tank setup until i see how the drivetrain sits, sadly. or where the exhaust is getting routed. one decides the other.
does anyone here happen to know the measurements for any of these?
c6 corvette front cradle bolt to bolt width (i hear ~17"?)
c6 corvette rear cradle bolt to bolt width
torque tube diameter (heard 5", having trouble finding an answer)
Hotrodding to me is taking what you have and making it perform like what you want.... that can mean making a Civic into a drag racer, making a diesel camaro that scoots and gets 30 mpg, or taking a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower and tricking it out with chrome exhaust and custom carb tuning. It can also mean taking a fiberglass roadster body and putting it on an S10 frame.
Bottom line is, I don't judge. There is a 3rd gen Camaro around here that someone has put on a Blazer 4x4 frame. I personally think its a bit "white trash" but I applaud his ability to make something he wanted to make. Its his own personal statement. Kudos to him.
... and kudos to you for making your own dream car.
I feel anything you build yourself with a motor is a hot rod. I just finished this little go-kart for the grandkids. Modeled after a dune buggy frame, It has a 8hp B&S engine with electric start, a 5 speed transmission with reverse from a John Deere riding lawnmower driven by a centrifugal clutch, an alternator from an old Datsun car, rear wheels & tires from an old 3 wheeler. The rest is totally fabricated by yours truly. It's not fast at all even in 5th gear but it's a joy watching the kids ride it.
You would have to stretch the body? It can't be done? I am sure glad Carol Shelby or Richard R. Hovis didn't listen to that talk!
Here's a 302 Ford in a Bug eye Sprite, it doesn't get much smaller than a Bug eye!
But here lies the problem, it will take a boat load of fab and modification and those $20K estimates are pretty conservative if you ask me. The shops who gave you the $120K they aren't out of line either if you are talking about "building a car". Building that car by a quality shop who actually makes money (unlike a lot of rod shops who make none) it's going to be a six figure car. I am sure they were just blowing you off or setting a figure to see if you still are the real deal and they should even take the time with you. But either way we are talking a LOT of money.
So then we come down to the simple fact that most of these cars are built by the owner. I have been into a few big name rod building shops and I am always amazed at how "assembly line" they are building the same basic car over and over. When you throw something out of the ordinary at them they aren't ready for it, it isn't their thing. Stuffing a V8 into a Honda DelSol isn't their thing, period. So of course you are going to get them trying to escape the question with a big price or pushing you out the door.
My suggestion is to start building the car yourself and one day you will pull out of your garage with it done.
Here is a V8 Bugeye photo that didn't come up in my previous post.

Sounds like a B*&^cHing project to me,, as for doing it yourself? Actually it would have been nice if you could have started your first project on something a bit less complicated,, BUT!! what the hell!! you need to start somewhere, at least if and when you finish this,, You will be a full blown hotrodder for sure,
jsu be sure it is SAFE , and the idea of having a professional welder do the welding, is the best idea ,
the education you get from this will all be worth it,, ( I HOPE)

i wish i'd come here first. the encouragement is great, but being realistically explained "why not" is even better. you're right though, martinsr. i did feel i was just getting pushed out the door most of the time. had i come in with a yugo and said the same, they might've been more accommodating...maybe. i think the ls1 will look about as claustrophobic in my car afterwards too
again i slept on it, and even with no fabbing experience, i think i'm still better off doing this myself. i'm not afraid to learn. i had a half hour debate with a coworker today about how i won't care about my rear power window working anymore if the torque tube is in the way, once i hear that motor roar. i was dumbfounded at how convicted he was in this feeling to the point he'd ignore the simple fact i'm making it a personal design requirement. i guess some people are more concerned with the power than anything else. it's just not a del sol without the targa top and rear power window, and it's not a (semi) sleeper if i'm running a shaker hood!
going to continue planning it out, hopefully it means less down time overall, and not a 2-year build. that's really what i'm saving for now, i guess. to be able to address any buyable problems quickly. i really don't care if it comes out covered in POR-15 anti-rust paint and cheap wheels, so long as it comes out drivable. it can be pretty later.
this is the first car that gave me real hope of fitting this beast. it's an ls1 stuffed into a 72 mgb gt:
one of the headers had to go through a wheel well, and the intake is behind a fender
oh and bad rat...i am not known for picking simple things to get started on when i get interested in something. a terrible habit i suppose
forget the naysayers
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder brother.........build and drive whats right for you or itll drive ya crazy later on. People jackin up the price are probably tryin to scare you out the door because they really dont want or cant take on the project. Start out by gettin a group of people who can see your vision and go from there.
I kinda looked around for some chassis specs , but not much in the way of frame / suspension measurements, like you were looking for, but this site under suspensions it does have some frame /tread width measurements that might help you, in determining the overall comparison of the 2 cars
This is always a factor to think about, and to warn about.
sorry,chassis has been sold

Anyway. What is hotrodding about? In my opinion it's about making something faster or better engineered than what you can buy, or making something that you like, and no car maker builds. I also think it's about doing as much of the build as possible yourself. Anybody can write checks and tell a builder what they want, but that's not hotrodding in my opinion.
Even if it takes years to finish as you learn, I think it's still best to do as much as possible yourself if you want to call it "your" hotrod.
Six months is a crazy timetable for this large a project, especially if you want it done right for a reasonable amount of money. I think it can be done for the price you quoted, but probably not in that time frame when you're paying someone else.
When I started stuffing a 327 Chevy in place of the tiny 20 hp flathead 4 cyl. in my old '46 British Austin I got some friends who thought this particular car was not a good choice for what I planned. Would have been much easier to have chosen a later post '48 Austin with it's larger engine bay, longer wheelbase, and wider body. But what kinda fun is it to do a swap that almost anyone can do? Moving the firewall back 12" and setting the front seats back enough that you sit nearly in the back seat to steer is way more fun!
I have to agree.Great pictures.
see that's the thing, i don't ever plan on selling it, hard times or not. i'd sooner stuff it into a friend's garage before it had to come to that. i hope i'm not the only one that thinks that way
i don't have unlimited access to my garage for storing a car project, that's part of why i gave myself a tight deadline. it can go in there for a short time, but that's it. the fam isn't really keen on a dismantled car in the garage. i don't require it to do anything more than roll out of the garage under its own power. once it can be parked on the street, i can do further work from there. basically i just need it to turn over and stay running and driving(ish). oh, and the main bits mounted to the chassis. i also gave myself that timetable because my work slows down in the winter for a few months and project start should coincide with it slowing down. plenty of time to work on it then!
the street's close enough to run an extension cord out for tools, and safe enough to leave the project outside. so long as the hood's on nobody's the wiser.
i've been catching endless flak for choosing the del sol as a platform. personally, i take it as more reason to do it. 1971, i also have to set the firewall back, though probably less than your 12". i wish i had as much extra room as you to push the seats back, but if i run a rear mount trans axle, i'm almost 100% certain the tailshaft is gonna be by my elbow coming from the rear. that means i need to widen the rear part of my mini tunnel, which means less seat slide space . still think i can retain the power window though.
paid a visit to ye ol' S&S Speed Shop today, got a lead on a fabricator that works for moroso and is an nhra inspector of some sort. they swear he can beat the lowest shop's quoted price of 20k, and can do better work than that guy. we'll see when i call tomorrow, i guess.
on a side note, i've been reading that people have successfully mated an ls1 to the audi quattro system. i'd have to mount the trans in the traditional location, however. going to look into that further...
there is the audi r8 quattro system, but no way i can afford that

JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore are ready to contribute
|06.27.11 at 2:35 pm ET
The Celtics introduced their newest players — JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore — to the media at Edison school in Brighton on Monday and if first impressions count for anything both players came across as engaging and mature. That's to be expected of a pair of four-year college players, both of whom earned degrees at Purdue.
Education was the theme of the day as Johnson and Moore were on hand to dedicate a new mobile computer lab through the Celtics Shamrock Foundation with 25 new Mac's for the kids in the K-8 public school. With their parents in attendance, Johnson and Moore mixed easily with the kids.
Both acknowledged that it was a strange but pleasant coincidence that they would wind up on the same team in the NBA. That process didn't begin on draft night. It started when both players decided to return for their senior seasons after going through the draft evaluation last year.
The extra year in school wasn't wasted as Johnson increased his scoring average from 15.5 to 20.5 points per game and was named Big 10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. Moore also raised his scoring average for the fourth straight season with the Boilerrmakers and shot 40 percent from the college 3-point line.
"These guys have both improved a lot over the course of their college careers," team president Danny Ainge said. "They've played a lot of big games in a lot of hostile environments. I think that can only help."
The knock on Johnson is that he's thin and he acknowledged that he wants to add to his 220 pounds in the weight room and with a nutritional program. The negative for Moore is that at 6-foot-4 (in shoes) he may be too small to matchup with NBA 2-guards and he rarely played the point at Purdue. Johnson said that he sees himself as a four-man — as do the Celtics. Moore described himself as a combo guard and said he knew he had to be prepared to handle any backcourt assignment.
The NBA is filled with undersized, or oddly sized, players and each player brings something different to the equation for the Celtics who are trying to add pieces that can help this season, as well as in the future.
"I can run the floor, rebound, defend and be able to knock down that 15-18 foot shot pretty consistently," Johnson said. "That's what I can bring to the team."
Moore was an accomplished scorer at Purdue and had a memorable game against Ohio State when he scored 38 points and knocked down seven 3-pointers. Johnson noted that in college Moore was the player the other Boilermakers counted on to make a big shot.
Their roles are reversed now as the pressure will be on Johnson to provide some interior help and athleticism to a frontline that can use both. Moore will have a chance to earn a roster spot and he may have competition. The Celtics brought University of Pittsburgh guard Gilbert Brown in to get acclimated with the facilities.
Brown told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Ainge was in contact with him after the draft and compared his situation to Wes Matthews, an undrafted free agent out of Marquette who has already carved out a niche in the NBA, as well as a five-year $32 million contract from the Blazers. The Celtics can't sign undrafted free agents — or free agents of any kind — until July 1 and if there is a lockout Brown told the paper he was likely to play in Germany.
On a team with so many open positions and a determination to get younger, more athletic and affordable there's a decent chance that both Moore and Brown could find their way on to the Celtics roster. Ainge told WEEI's Dennis & Callahan last week that he did not intend to mess with the team's cap space after the 2012 season when they will be way below the cap, regardless of whatever system is in place in a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Click here to listen to the whole interview.
That's why this draft was so important for the Celtics. They want to remain competitive for a championship this season, while also laying the foundation for the future. Ainge told D & C that one more year with the big three was realistic, but two was probably asking too much. With Johnson, Moore, possibly Brown and last year's first round pick Avery Bradley vying for playing time, the Celtics will have not only youth, but experienced youth to try and alter the dynamic of the team.
Johnson will wear No. 12 as a tribute to his mother, Rhonda Curlin. That was her number in high school. Moore will wear No. 55. He said he was a fan of Jason "White Chocolate" Williams growing up.
Johnson said he was looking forward to learning from Kevin Garnett. "If he tells me something I'll definitely do my best to execute what he's saying," Johnson said. "I don't want him to shut me down. I want to learn as much as I can from him."
Ainge said the team would extend a qualifying offer to restricted free agent Jeff Green before the deadline as expected.
One area Ainge wouldn't address was any potential free agent plans. Anything and everything related to the new CBA has been off-limits in keeping with NBA policy.

About Hoosier Women Speak
The Indiana Commission for Women developed Hoosier Women Speak to identify key issues facing women, understand critical needs women and communities perceive as important, build trust with constituents and build relationships with regional partners.
Between February and May 2011, the first phase, Hoosier INsight, was a series of seventeen regional listening sessions and accompanying online survey that categorized critical issues affecting women regionally and statewide. The facilitated conversations with constituents across Indiana helped to prioritize challenges women face and developed partnerships with key stakeholders to create a coordinated effort to move Indiana women forward.
The issues discussed were narrowed to the top five issues, which were:
Several underlying themes were mentioned consistently across all issues. There was a call for a more collaborative and coordinated effort to address these issues. Agencies, organizations and individuals committed to moving women's issues forward should network and communicate with each other to find common ground and support women more effectively and efficiently. There was a general sense of a lack of knowledge about where to find resources. Many agencies and organizations are already providing the programs and services women need. Women just don't know where to find them. So, more coordination in providing women with information, tools, resources, and opportunities to participate was needed.
There was recognition of women's responsibility to be engaged in public discourse on any issue directly affecting them. Women should be encouraged to participate in finding real solutions and should be given the opportunity to be heard. They need the tools, resources and information to make informed decisions and be effective in advocating for their own needs. There was a general sense that these issues were not necessarily limited to only one gender. Men must be engaged in meaningful and positive conversations about issues that are not just women's issues. They are family issues. They are community issues. They are economic issues.Once the findings were compiled, a follow-up debrief meeting was held simultaneously in six locations with community leaders and interested individuals in November 2011. These gatherings continued the work towards completing a community-wide plan with measurable and obtainable action steps. The compiled report serves as a guide for next steps in mobilizing stakeholders from all sectors to find positive, meaningful and lasting solutions to challenges impacting the lives of women in Indiana.
In July 2012, the Indiana Commission for Women took an important step by conducting an additional listening session for Richmond/Wayne County. By continuing Hoosier Women Speak, ICW recognizes there may be issues unique to specific demographic groups or geographic regions. Through the initial Hoosier INsight project, several demographic groups were identified for future supplemental Hoosier Women Speak reports. They include, but are not limited to: ex-offenders, girls, immigrant women, minority women, rural women, senior women and women veterans.
These discussions can begin a process that engages women and community stakeholders in identifying challenges women face and positive solutions to those challenges. The results can contribute to a better understanding of women's specific needs, to better communication of those needs and to better recognition of ways to remove barriers. They can also assist in informing leaders at the local, county and state levels of important challenges affecting women both regionally and statewide, in expanding coalitions and in building capacity to work across networks to improve outreach efforts.
If your community or group is interested in scheduling someone from ICW to present the Hoosier Women Speak findings or in hosting a listening session, please contact the Indiana Commission for Women at (317) 232-6720 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hair Craft Project
I got my hair styled.
Not "done", because my hair does not need fixing, and is not broken.
Chaundra Lockstar styled my hair of Naturals Salon.
Here is the pic she posted of my new do …
During my styling, Chaundra mentioned her work was featured at 1708 Gallery until March 8, 2014 but a special event would take place with special guests Bill Gaskins and juror A'Lelia Bundles.
When I arrived at the event, I was overwhelmed with joy. While I don't know exactly what I was expecting, it exceeded my expectations.
See, creator Sonya Clark of The Hair Craft Project displayed the art of hair in a unique way. She used word of mouth to find stylist to style her own hair. Her head was the canvas. She took it a step further by giving each of the artist a canvas with with hand stitched threads to manipulate into a design.
The Starting Canvas..
The 1708 gallery states:
The Hair Craft Project is based on the premise that hairdressing is the primordial textile art form—hairdressing is the earliest manipulation of fiber toward an aesthetic and functional purpose.
Some of the stylists creations…

Sasheer Zamata on SNL
I watch Saturday Night Live – I don't always get the jokes. The episode with Kerry Washington was hilarious! Let's admit it, diversity of any kind is just more interesting. When they debuted the new staff they were hard to tell a part, they all looked the same. Can you imagine my excitement when I heard the announcement of the new cast member, Sasheer Zamata!
Sasheer is already my best friend in my head. She is not the typical Mammy, Sapphire or Jezebel you often see portrayed in popular culture. She is not just beautiful, well spoken and funny – she is like the NATURAL girl next door!!
Here is some of her previous work…
What do you think, are you as excited as I am?
Sheryl Underwood's Self Hatred
The largest hatred to overcome is that of the self. I am so happy about the growth of natural hair. So many women of color who would have never considered embracing their curls have ditched the creamy crack to embrace their god given strands.
We are now working to program ourselves to embrace our god given attributes- but sometimes we slip and show we truly don't value ourselves.
I haven't had a positive few of The Talk especially many of the comments of Aisha and Sheryl. The panel was asked their opinion about Heidi Klum saving her sons' afro hair after a trim. Sheryl Underwood used it as an opportunity to talks negatively about curly, nappy, beady hair – why would you want to save that?
I respect that Sheryl apologized for her inappropriate joke, however it shows a much larger issue.
Self hatred, especially among Black women and their kinky hair!
Loving Q.U.E.E.N by Janele Monae' and Erykah Badu
I have not hosted a musical Wednesday in a while.
In general, I am sooo tired of judgmental people. That is why I LOVE this jam Queen.
I like to twerk in the mirror, and dance all alone, sometimes late at night. I also think EVERYONE should have civil liberties like getting married.
Music should have meaning, and purpose…
I am loving how women are more empowered to be themselves, and step outside the box of suppose to.
Naturally Happy Hair
So, have you seen it yet? Naturally Happy Hair Magazine! Natural Hair & Lifestyle…
Look how happy my hair is while I read the pages…
The first edition is the spring edition- and I LOVE IT! Co-founders Crystal Knight and Chimere Norris laced the magazine pages with helpful information in an appealing way featuring beautiful naturals. The cover features Dr. Nina Ellis-Hervey, and oh yeah me on page 10!! (check out the image below).
Seriously, check out their site www.naturallyhappyhair.com
