A Panel Discussion on Quality Education as a Constitutional Right
LIVE WEBCAST: http://www.princeton.edu/webmedia
On March 11th 2005, civil rights leader-turned-activist Robert Moses invited 100 African American and Latino educators and activists to a three day conference at Howard University. Moses called this assembly for one reasonâhis agenda was and is to create a âgrassroots movement to amend the Constitution to make quality education a constitutionally guaranteed right.â? And from their meeting emerged the book, Quality Education as a Constitutional Right.
Now, in Quality Education as a Constitutional Right, some of the most prominent progressive voices in education respond to Mosesâs call for the urgent need for quality education for Black, Brown, and poor children. Like the generations that came before them, the bookâs contributors have âthe fire for justice in their bonesâ? and their shared hope is that this book will provide local communities with the tools needed to energize the conversation about the quality of education their children deserve and how to go about demanding it, writes Simmons College education professor Theresa Perry, in the bookâs introduction.
Two of Quality Education as a Constitutional Right's authors, Bob Moses and Princeton University's own, Professor Imani Perry, along with Lauren Veasey will participate in a panel discussion on quality education and this grassroots movement.
Robert P. Moses is one of the leading civil rights icons from the 1960s. He was the former field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the main organizer of the Freedom Summer project, which was intended to end racial disfranchisement. In 1982 he received a MacArthur âGeniusâ? Fellowship and used the money to create the Algebra Project, which serves ten thousand students in twenty-eight cities nationwide and follows the philosophy of grassroots community organizing to promote math literacy. In 2001, with Charles Cobb, Moses published Radical Equations: Civil Rights from Mississippi to the Algebra Project.
Imani Perry is professor at Princeton University in the Center for African American Studies. Perry is the author of Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop (2004) and the forthcoming Righteous Hope: The Making and Unmaking of Racial Inequality in the 21st-century United States. She is also the author of more than two dozen articles, essays, and book chapters on race, law, and cultural studies.
Lauren Veasey works with the Young People's Project (www.typp.org) as national network organizer to re-launch the Quality Education as a Constitutional Right (QECR) initiative. She received her Master of Education degree in Education Policy & Research from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and received her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Political Science and African-American Studies from Stanford University.

Grain Broker Rep Tied Up in Multi-Million Dollar Default Scandal
Carlisle, Arkansas -
BRINKLEY, AR - For the past two weeks or so, Christopher Taylor has spent a lot of time with farmers, his clients, hearing their concerns. According to him, he's only able to say he's sorry.
"You've had to look into these farmers' faces and apologize?" we asked Taylor.
"Every farmer I've talked to that's the first thing that has to come out of my mouth. Apologizing for someone's actions or doings that weren't my own," he said. "And I have to hope they know I'm telling the truth. I wake up every morning and that's what I'm facing."
A lawsuit filed in Lonoke County names Taylor, along with Turner Grain Merchandising and a host of other companies connected to owners Jason Coleman or Dale Bartlett. According to Taylor, he was an employee of Neauman Coleman & Co. but was a commissioned representative of Turner Grain, essentially the face out in the field farmers associated with the broker company.
"As far as knowing Turner Grain I may be the only person they [farmers] have had contact with," he said.
The suit, filed by a group of family farms, alleges Turner Grain acted as an agent for undisclosed buyers, and the farmers haven't been paid for grain delivered under contracts. Some of those contracts, which we're seeing for the first time, bear Taylor's name.
"I became aware of a problem the day everybody else did," Taylor said of when he knew something was amiss.
According to Taylor, his last paycheck from Turner Grain bounced.
"It's a nice parting gift for 10 years of your life," he said. "A bounced check. Those farmers who delivered their grain and got a hot check or haven't been paid, I'm in the same boat."
According to Taylor, he was unknowingly delivering hot checks to his farmers the night before all operations ground to a sudden halt.
"Did you know that the checks you were giving to those farmers were possibly hot checks?" we asked him.
"At 10:45 that night, I was delivering those checks because I wanted to take care of those farmers," he said. "Had I known anything before time -- there would have been no way I would have taken time away from my family to hand a man a hot check."
According to Taylor losses to farmers who have already delivered their product could be up to $20 million. For those farmers who still have their grain in the field, like this fall's corn, those losses from unfulfilled contracts Taylor said could go up to $100 million.
And the ripple effect, Taylor said, will go well beyond the agriculture industry.
"It could extend to the Little Rock auto dealer who had planned on selling trucks to these farmers. Some of those sales won't happen," he said. "It could affect the dairy farmer, who has nothing to do with this, that also sells produce and that's tomatoes or something that won't be bought. I think we'll be surprised how big this will get."
Farmers in the suit, according to their attorney, are asking for their delivered grain to be returned by the undisclosed buyers or to be properly paid.
"Turner Grain acted as the agent on behalf of the buyer," attorney Don Campbell said. "Someone received that grain, and these farmers haven't been paid. That's wrong. They either want the grain so they could still sell it or the money they are owed. Right now they don't have either."
Taylor said he hopes the farmers are able to get what's owed to them, because they've delivered what they were bound by in the contracts.
"They've done a really good job holding up their end of the bargain," he said. "I can personally speak to the Isbells and the Kittlers. They're good people to work with, good people to talk to."
As for why Turner Grain may not have held up their end of the deal, Taylor said he wasn't privy to the firm's finances.
"I never saw a bank book or a budget. I didn't have the power to write checks or withdraw from accounts," he said. "I think there was obviously some mismanagement, and maybe someone got in over their head without any intent to stop the bleeding. I hope something does come to light because I'd really like to know myself."
Taylor said he could speak for where he stands, and he hopes farmers will see it for what it's worth.
"Everything I've done is to benefit my area and my customers my goal was to get the best price for my producer that I could," he said. "I hope those farmers know that there was no ill intent on my part. I did my best to create legal, binding contracts on the front and back end."
As for his future in the business, Taylor would like to continue to help farmers by acting as their liaison in marketing, but he may have a hard time distancing himself from the dark shadow that has become his decade at Turner Grain.
"A lot of a man's word, his reputation precedes him whether it's good or bad," he said. "The person you're standing across from bases a lot from the faith of your word and reputation unfortunately this will be a scar I'll wear the rest of my life. But I hope I can continue doing this work, I enjoyed helping the farmers. I enjoyed being a part of it."
Taylor, saying he doesn't know that he'll be able to cover his bills, but he knows that some farmers out there won't be able to sustain the blow at all.
"I may lose my house and my car," he said. "But there are going to be some folks out there who lose their livelihoods. When I found out about this, I felt just like the Isbells or any other farmer. I couldn't believe it."

Thread: Special teams concerns
Special teams concerns
I was reading an article over on the Boston Globe site and it struck me how many dangerous kick and punt returners the Patriots have on their roster (Edelman, Woodhead, Faulk, Welker). Our special teams were hit or miss (literally) in the Texans game. Giving up the big return early, but then making solid tackles the rest of the way.
During the regular season, the Patriots ranked 29th in the league (rather surprisingly I might add) on kickoff return yardage gained (according to NFL.com stats on KO return yardage for the 2011 season, sorted by average yardage gained per return). The Ravens were a solid 9th overall.
Giving Brady a short field is going to be poisonous to our chances on defense. It's going to be absolutely CRITICAL to get solid special teams play. Ideally Cundiff would blast touchbacks all day long, but since his injury he seems to be hitting the 1 to 5-yard lines routinely.
I think Gostkowski is a better kicker than Cundiff, and the Patriots have better return men than we do. I know there's been a lot of talk about various coaches being on the hot seat. Do you guys think if special teams has some sort of breakdown, that Jerry Rosburg will be in trouble? Who should be returning kicks for us? Webb and David Reed are our best bets to take one to the house, historically, but Webb's the #1 CB and D. Reed is in the doghouse. More Zbikowski?
Honestly, the game can't get here fast enough...

Re: Special teams concerns
One of the worst moves the Pats made this year was cutting Brandon Tate, a dynamic KR. Woodhead has been meh all season in that spot, as has anyone else they've tried.
At PR, they are a threat. Edelman is always dangerous, as is Welker, but thankfully he only fields the punts from the 10yd line & in.
Gostowski is very good on kickoffs, but has been more erratic than usual on FGs this season. Mesko is very good as the punter.

Rumors about Gov. Pawlenty's Washington aspirations have swirled ever since he announced he was running for the U.S. Senate years ago.
A visit to the toney Club for Growth during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York could've been a little "toe in the water" action. And they liked him and, especially, his no-new-taxes pledge.
In 2005 he pushed — hard — for the ethanol bill in last year's Legislature, and then called the agriculture department to get some talking points for a trip to Iowa — where, you may have heard — they have some presidential caucuses; significant because Pawlenty wasn't doing any out-of-the-state travelling at the time, so DFLers couldn't complain that he wasn't tending to the state while they and the Republicans were tying it up in knots in the Legislature.
And, of course, he completely ticked off the White House with his effort to set up a Web site for cheaper Canadian drugs, and looked good doing it, which made some seniors — I hear they're an important voting bloc — pretty happy since their organization — AARP — had pretty much sold them out in Washington's effort to get the issue off the table in the 2004 election.
I thought of all of that this afternoon while listening to him speak during a conference call after returning from a visit to Iraq. In the past, his visits have primarily been of the "boosting the Minnesota soldiers" variety.
But this sounded different… this sounded like a guy muscling up on the foreign policy stuff.
In a few weeks they're arriving in Kuwait and they're going to be training up for three weeks in Kuwait and then from there they'll deploy in country. I hope during that time that the announcement of the formation of a unity government can be made and then things will begin to improve relative to today over time."
Pawlenty was on a delegation that was led by Sen. John McCain. We probably shouldn't read much into that since I believe Sen. Russ Feingold was on that trip too.
But I do anyway. If Pawlenty isn't checking out the national waters, then maybe McCain is taking a look at Pawlenty.

"As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand."
― Ernest Hemingway
A lot of beginning writers worry about finding their voice. They spend money on courses and exert an incredible amount of energy thinking about it. I think it is within us from the beginning. It's not hiding at all. Our voice is our experience, our biases, our pains, our joys, our passions, the themes of our own lives. We just need to learn and practice our craft so the expression and execution of those things that are ours and of us come across as powerfully as possible.
I believe, at least in my own case, that there is a duality that has to be acknowledged and embraced. My duality is a deep-seated wonder of life and people in contrast to the other side of my nature which is hip-deep in melancholy. I can write with authority in a certain area because I know them, feel them, and they're of my essence.
I believe favorite writers–like Dennis Lehane, Stephen King, John Connolly, William Faulkner, Hemingway, Michael Connelly–all have a unique voice. Their writing is an extension of them is my bet.
You want to discover your voice? Know thyself. Your voice comes from honesty, reflection, acknowledgment, craft and confidence.
What holds people back from letting their voice out? Fear is probably number one. We don't want people to hear what resonates in our hearts, what makes us us, and not accept it, or worse, make fun of it/judge it, and in turn judge us. But that's part of connecting, and we can't please everybody, so write from your deepest self. I get it, our egos our fragile. Yet I believe that if we're spending a ton of energy protecting who we really are then we're NOT expressing who we really are.
Know thyself.
It's also fun to explore the things we squirm away from. The 'hot buttons' for us. I think it's a quick way to challenge ourselves, by creating a character who shares an opposing core belief different from one of our own, and instead of showing the reader how the character is wrong, let the character show why he's right from his perspective. It's an important skill learned to grow as a person and a writer. To gain new perspective and tear down the walls we build to protect ourselves from the world.
What do you really want to write, more than anything else in the world? What story are you scared to tell because you're afraid of what those around you might think of you?
What do you think you need to become a great writer that you lack now? Once you can identify it, you can learn it. You can learn what is important to say and what is wasted breath. You learn what you fear is not insurmountable, even if every fiber of your being cries out that you can't do it, or think it, or say it. You learn to understand yourself, the good and the horrible. And you learn to understand other people and show their lives honestly, beauty and blemish.
Everything you need voice-wise is already intact. You just have to trust yourself. Refine it. Learn how to express yourself masterly. Expect that not only will you discover the voice already inside you, but it will morph as you experience more, assimilate it, reflect upon it, and share it.
For more writing advice visit this page. If you find any of it helpful, share it with someone else.

This is a bad thing right? She is very Happy that her surgery is the cheapest in town, but I'm sure thats the reason. She doesn't think that it matters that he is not board certified. Im really scared that she will be unhappy with the results. I've tried to convince her to go to my PS he is $1000 more than hers but I told her you get what you pay for. Am I right? What are the reasons she should not do this?
What Do I Say To My Friends Whose PS is Not Board Certified? I Think She's Making a Mistake.
Doctor Answers 4
Board certification in plastic surgery
If think it is very wise of you to speak with your friend. She should not be penny wise and dollar foolish. She should go to a board certified plastic surgeon.
Board Certification
Board certificaton by the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the most important thing to look for when considering plastic surgery. You should explain to her what this means - the physician has completed a rigorous and extensive training program in the field of plastic surgery and has demonstrated the knowledge, technical proficiency, and high ethical standards required of the board. Be aware that some physicians claim to be "board certified" is specialties such as cosmetic surgery or breast surgery when in reality these are not true ABMS recognized boards.
Board Certification
You are correct. Your friend should see a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. There is no law against any doctor claiming they are a "cosmetic surgeon," so it can be very confusing for the public.
Good Luck.

Plastic surgeons vs Cosmetic surgeons
The law does not protect you in this regard even though it should. It allows anybody who wants to hang a shingle and call themselves a plastic surgeon to do so. You should ask your friend to find out very specifically the training this other doctor has had and compare it to your doctor's education. Then remind her that "you get what you pay for" in life most all the time and that to correct a bad job on the first surgery will more than double her costs.

By BARBARA BOWERS Special to The Citizen
"I wanted orchids all my life, but they didn't do well in Lake Tahoe, where I lived and worked in a nursery," said Saundra Parker. "Now I'm into container planting."
Potted ferns and palms, a gardenia and other flowering plants line her verandah. Several species of orchids dangle from the steps of the apartment upstairs that cross above her private deck, and since February, when Parker moved into her first-floor apartment on William Street, she has already attached four phalaenopsis to the areca palms that guard her front door.
Her 400-square-foot unit is one of three in an 1850s great house that was renovated in 2007. Although the one-bed/one-bath apartment is compact, it's well appointed with contemporary amenities for indoor-outdoor island living. Upgraded with granite kitchen counters, on demand hot water heater, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi and satellite TV.
And the high-tech accoutrements share space compatibly with historical details. The original wavy-glass window panes and Dade County pine walls and floors are still in place.
"The natural wood and high ceilings have old Key West charm," said Parker. "It's just cozy."
To fit into the space, Parker says she had to do some serious measuring, after downsizing from the three-bedroom house she owned in Tahoe. Out west, her pet rabbit, Gizmo, had his own exercise room so he, too, moved into a smaller "bunny condo, which turned out to be a little too big for his new Key West space, between the window and front door in the living room," she said.
"After I got here, I ordered it by mail, but when it arrived it was way more than I expected.
"No more ordering," Parker said. "What furniture I didn't bring with me, I bought locally -- Fast Buck's at Home and Royal Furniture saved the day."
Because Parker figures Key West is "where ugly rattan furniture goes to die," she wanted an upbeat mix of modern and antique. Her living room's large upholstered footstool with a "chair and a half" from Royal is balanced by a low teak table, with four footstools tucked beneath it.
"I inherited that from my parents, who found the table in Hong Kong in the 1960s," she said. "It's hand carved and similar to the teak trunk in my bedroom."
The trunk is antique, purchased in San Francisco to compliment the Chinese altar that Parker uses as a vanity. The contemporary mirror hanging above the vanity and the vintage-looking armoire next to it are new from Fast Buck's.
The ambiance favors contemporary Asian, but Victorian items like the long fringe of a lamp shade add dignity and age to the bed's side table. The teddy bears atop the old trunk, which belonged to her daughters when they were kids, the jiggling fringe and the bedspread's red and gold paisley somehow diffuse the technological advances that lurk beneath the bedspread.
"It's a Tempur-Pedic Ergo System -- a bed that does what I want," said Parker.
The combination of Tempur-Pedic mattress with an adjustable base offers any number of ergonomic resting positions for head and foot. The wireless remote controls comfort from bed, it even clicks into massage mode; just the kind of techy instrument you'd expect from a pilot, who at one time, worked for a private air charter company.
"My grandfather and both my parents were pilots, who threw me in the back of a plane from the time I was two," said Parker. "I got my pilot's license when I was 18."
A big poster, "Fly to South Sea Isles...via Pan Am," hangs on one bedroom wall; a painting by the artist Dahlke hangs on another, testaments to Parker's many visits to Key West, prior to moving here.
But memorabilia from lots of trips abroad top household shelves: a Laotian traditional hat, an Egyptian parchment; from Kenya, a baboon skull on a wood-carved body: "I was particularly drawn to the baboon's raffia hair and shell inlay," said a straight-faced Parker.
Travel ranks almost as high among Parker's passions as the bunny. He hops into the bathroom and stretches out on the cool tile floor. Gizmo has the run of the house --a guard rabbit of sorts.
"He's litter trained, and I keep one of his boxes in the bathroom," she said. "I just love it that he uses the john."
The bathroom is centered between the living room and bedroom. With two entries -- one to the hallway and one into the bedroom -- the bunny could hop in circles all day long, but Parker also leaves the door open to his luxury townhouse in the living room, where he's content to lounge, snack, sip water, watch TV.
"Yeah, I keep the big screen TV on top of his party deck," she said. "I think he watches more TV than I do, and I know he has more square footage than I do."

Hello! Before we get into the post for today, I want to wish everyone who celebrates it a happy Thanksgiving in advance! I don't know about you, but I am dying for some pumpkin pie. I also can't wait to put my Christmas decorations up! For now, I have some gorgeous winter polishes from Kawaii to tide me over.
Let It Snow is a beautiful mix of white, royal, and midnight blue glitter in a clear base. I layered two coats over Zoya Kristen.
Frosty Remix is probably the most unique holiday polish I've seen so far, made up of red, white, and black glitter, as well as some larger translucent white hexes. You can see them on my pointer and middle nails. I layered two coats of Frosty Remix over Zoya Anja.
Ho Ho Ho is a mixture of red, green, and white glitter in a clear base. This is two coats over plain black.
Peppermint Pattie is a mixture of red and white hex and bar glitters. I love this one! I layered two coats over Color Club Status Update.
You can purchase Kawaii nail polishes on Etsy and make sure to like Kawaii's Facebook page to keep up with new releases and sales! Will you be purchasing any of these?

How To Prevent America's #1 Disease: Stress
Let's face it, life is fast-paced! We, the people, have busy schedules that determine the shortness of our days. There is work, school, soccer practice, Bible study, and then dinner is somewhere in the middle before bedtime. Routine doctor appointments are not a high priority until symptoms drive you or your loved ones to the waiting room.
After sitting on the examination table, getting swabbed with cotton, lots of questions and tests, many are diagnosed with fighting one common disease: Stress.
Nearly half of all Americans admit stress affects their lives. The other 50% of Americans usually test positive for abnormal levels of anxiety. In fact, many Americans who feel comfortable coping with their worries have been reported to have the same level of stress as if they were standing face to face with a roaring lion. Facts and figures agree: Stress, when undiagnosed and untreated, becomes a deadly disease.
Is your Christian congregation giving you practical ways to reduce the stress levels in your life? Is your local body of believers decreasing, or increasing, your stress? If your weekly fellowship separates every day life from spiritual principles by glazing over relevant topics, like stress and how to eliminate it, then listen as Dani boldly shares how!
What do your stress test results show?
It is time for you to schedule an appointment and have an evaluation. Listen to this Sunday Morning Spiritual Equipping Radio Show to take your stress test. Find out if any adjustments are necessary in your life. What are you waiting for? Your change starts here!

As you can see my parents had to torture me with that birthday hat...I tried to appease them and let them snap a few pics, but I was kicking and screaming the whole time. I will be two years old on Christmas...aren't I an Orange site for sore eyes?
I realized last night that I could pull out these little drawers and wake my mother up at 3 a.m. I used to knock the picture on the wall until it built up momentum, swinging back and forth, but she got wise to me and took it down. Hmmmm, what can I conjure up for tonight?

First stop was to be Newberry Caldera..a volcanic crater. We made it halfway up the road only to discover that heavy snow meant the road was closed. Surprise surprise! We turned around and headed to the second stop..Crater Lake. Our gps wanted to take us the fastest way there which meant it wanted to take us on unsealed roads. That's what we have a 4wd for! I turned off onto a dirt road, looking forward to the adventure ahead ..only to have to turn around 600m into it when the snow returned and the chance of being bogged wasn't too appealing! Phin took over and we tried a few other roads in...once we made it a few kms in...but in the end just had to drive a few kms further south and back track. Once we made the turn off to Crater Lake we realized why we couldn't get much further
slowly wound around steep corners as we climbed to the parking lot. You could only see the top of the door and the sign at the top of the building that said "visitors centre"..the rest of it was buried! But when we climbed up the snow to the viewpoint...wow!!!! Very beautiful. The h2o of the lake is only rain and melted glacial ice as no lakes or rivers feed into it so it is super pure. In summer you can do a 33mile drive around the rim but unfortunately the snow makes it impossible now...however it does make it amazingly picturesque.
After a quick bowl of soup to defrost we were back on the road again.
A couple of hours later we arrived in Jacksonville. This little town is world heritage listed and all the shop fronts are in original early 1900s style. We had a nice dinner at the Jacksonville inn and then were driving to California.
As we hit the state crossing we had the stereo blaring "California" by Phantom Planet, the theme song from the OC! The lady and the fruit/vegetable looked at us a little strange but I'm sure it happens all the time! The next 20miles were winding roads through the very start of the redwood forest...a little scary in the dark of the night.
We drove into Crescent city at 9pm and had planned to stay at a campsite but there wasn't much point paying $35 to camp when we would just pull up, sleep in the car and then cook breakfast in the morning..so we decided to cheat on walmart and slept in a Safeway carpark!
April 21 Update
Lisa: "In Bend, Oregon.. thought the further south we drove the warmer it would be..but we woke this morning surrounded by snow and snow on the car!! Crazy!!! Driving into California this afternoon!"
Phin: "Still freezing! Bring on California!!!!! ASAP! Someone stole my wet gym shorts from shower....suspect fat staring old man... Slightly odd and frightening!"

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Democrats look for visibility in Wisconsin attorney general primary
Madison — Two prosecutors and a legislator are battling for visibility and votes in the race to win the Democratic nomination for attorney general.
As is often the case, the race is a low-key affair at this stage and has gotten far less attention than the campaign for governor. With just over five weeks until the Aug. 12 primary, the candidates are raising funds and greeting voters in hopes of advancing to the Nov. 4 general election.
Running are Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ, Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne and state Rep. Jon Richards of Milwaukee.
The Democratic primary winner will take on Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel. He's the only Republican in the race to replace outgoing GOP Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, giving Schimel a chance to stash away his campaign money until the fall.
None of the Democrats is widely known, so one or more of them could gain an edge by running ads before the primary. A spokesman for Richards said his campaign would run TV ads before the primary, but the other candidates have not said whether they would have the funds to do so.
At the beginning of the year, Richards had more than $92,000 in his campaign account, Ozanne had about $51,000 and Happ — who didn't get in the race until January — had about $1,500.
For his part, Schimel had more than $173,000 in his account at the beginning of the year. All the candidates will submit their next reports on July 21.
"I would say the race (for the Democratic nomination) is wide open at this point. It would be a very difficult race to handicap at this moment." said Patrick Guarasci, a Democratic fundraiser and consultant who is not aligned with any of the campaigns.
"If any one of them can get on TV in any significant way (before the primary), that could shape the whole election," he said. Independent groups could also greatly influence the primary with an ad buy if they decided to weigh in, he said.
Turnout is expected to be low, which means the race will likely be determined by who is best at ensuring their supporters get to the polls. That could be tricky for an electorate still getting used to earlier primaries.
In 2012, partisan primaries were moved from September to August, and that year 19.4% of eligible voters turned up. But that year saw a much higher profile race on the ballot with a four-way Republican primary for U.S. Senate that saw the airwaves awash in political ads.
As of the beginning of the year, Richards had the money advantage, and he's also been able to use his 15 years in office to shore up a broad range of support. He boasts that he has backers in all of Wisconsin's 72 counties and his home base helps him — Milwaukee consistently supplies a host of Democratic voters.
But Richards faces one big drawback as he seeks the position of Wisconsin's top cop. He's the only candidate who isn't a career prosecutor.
Ozanne also benefits from geography because Dane County is a Democratic powerhouse. He drew broad support from his party's base in 2011 when he filed a lawsuit contending lawmakers had violated the state's open meetings law in passing strict limits on collective bargaining for most public workers. A judge agreed with him and temporarily blocked the law known as Act 10, but the state Supreme Court overruled that decision three months later and put the labor limits in place.
Happ contends she is the Democrat best situated to win the general election, saying her experience winning in a Republican-leaning county shows she can appeal to independent and rural voters. She has the backing of two units of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and EMILY's List, a national group that raises money for Democratic women candidates who support abortion rights.
Schimel says he's confident he can win the general election no matter which Democrat emerges from the primary because of his experience.
"They can't match me," he said. "The three of them can't match me."
Here's a look at the Democrats competing for their party's nomination:
Jon Richards. He stresses that if elected he would be an "independent lawyer for the people of Wisconsin" who would fight for everyday people. He says in his time in the Legislature he has demonstrated a willingness to go to the front lines on issues important to Democrats.
At the state Democratic convention in Lake Delton last month, Richards talked about discussing public policy with his mother, a nurse with Planned Parenthood, and father, who he described as an "old-school Chamber of Commerce Republican."
"My first lessons in politics were at the dinner table growing up," he said.
Richards recently won awards from the Association of State Prosecutors and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. He is backed by the United Steelworkers, Wisconsin Deputy Sheriffs Association and the Service Employees International Union.
Susan Happ. She rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and has a concealed-weapons permit and is positioning herself as the Democrat most able to compete for rural votes. She notes she became the first Democrat to serve as Jefferson County district attorney in 70 years.
She first won office in 2008 with 56% of the vote, outperforming President Barack Obama in her county by 6 percentage points.
The daughter of public schoolteachers, Happ noted at the Democratic convention, she weighed barely 3 pounds when she was born.
"I learned to fight from day one," she said.
Ismael Ozanne. He has been Dane County's top prosecutor since 2010, when he was appointed to the post by then-Gov. Jim Doyle. Before that, he held the No. 2 and No. 3 positions at the Department of Corrections under Doyle, and also spent time as an assistant district attorney in Dane County.
Ozanne says his time with the Department of Corrections is important because it shows he can run a statewide agency, much as the attorney general must run the Department of Justice.
As attorney general, he said he would serve as a "citizen's attorney" and work to quickly set up a Division of Civil Rights within the Department of Justice. He also said he would try to bring back the agency's public intervenor, who served as an environmental watchdog.

Jennifer Schmidt '14 has been named a 2013 Udall Scholar, an honor that is awarded to sophomore and junior-level college students committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Native American health care. Schmidt's award is for pursuing a career in the environment. The $5,000 scholarship provides the opportunity for students to attend the week-long Udall conference in the summer, which holds workshops on environmental leadership and offers the chance to network with other students with similar interests.
The scholarship was awarded to 50 students nationwide from 43 colleges and universities, selected from 488 candidates. Other Claremont Colleges Udall awardees were Pitzer students Keiko Budech '14 and Jess Grady-Benson '14.
Schmidt, an environmental analysis (EA) major and EA student liaison, started out as a neuroscience major and then realized along the way that her passions lay elsewhere. She designed her own EA track focusing on sustainable agriculture, which in part she attributes to her parents' introducing her to gardening at a young age. She also chalks it up to getting her hands dirty at Pomona.
"[Gardening has] always been something I enjoyed, but I didn't think of pursuing it as a career until coming to Pomona and getting involved with the Farm and the compost program. The more involved I became with Farm Club, the compost program and various sustainability projects around campus, the more I realized that the work was something I enjoyed and believed in," says Schmidt, who is currently helping to develop a half-credit Farm internship course.
Professor of Geology and Environmental Analysis Richard Hazlett, who has worked closely with Schmidt on the Farm and directed her independent study, says the Udall award is well-deserved. "Jennifer is a brilliant student…she has good scientific head sense in terms of putting together practice at the Farm from what she has learned about the life sciences," he says.
But her efforts go well beyond the Farm. She has worked with the College's dining halls to introduce post-consumer composting through a President's Sustainability Fund grant. With the same grant, she worked with the Coop Fountain on composting and reusable containers. Additionally, she is involved with Pomona for Environmental Activism and Responsibility (PEAR).
In recognition of her commitment to sustainable agriculture, Schmidt was also awarded the Annie's Sustainable Agriculture Scholarship, which supports students who will pursue farming. Schmidt's other honors include an honorable mention by Udall last year; the Brueckner Grant, which is awarded by Pomona's German Department to one student each year to pursue an independent research project in Germany; and Phi Beta Kappa honors this spring. Since her freshman year, she has been a Pomona College Scholar, which recognizes the top 25 percent of academic classes based on cumulative GPA.
Schmidt is minoring in German and currently studying abroad in Freiberg, Germany. When she's not studying, composting or farming at Pomona, she plays Ultimate Frisbee with The Claremont Greenshirts and intramural soccer, and leads On the Loose hiking trips.
Schmidt's parents are Rodney and Elizabeth Schmidt, who live in Seattle, and she is a graduate of Lakeside School.

Every executive had to start somewhere—that first big promotion that bumped them to senior management. The great ones knew what to bring with them to their new position and what to leave behind. This is the premise of The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success by Scott Eblin, who describes himself as a "former Fortune 500 HR executive."
The book is divided into three main sections. The Foundations of Personal Presence covers topics such as maintaining confidence, sustaining your energy level and communicating effectively. The Foundations of Team Presence looks at effective delegation and issues of accountability. The Foundations of Organizational Presence offers advice on maintaining the proper perspective and presence within the organization.
All That You Should Leave Behind
Each of the three sections is further broken down into lessons presented according to what you should "pick up" and what you should "let go."
One chapter, for instance, advocates that the reader "pick up looking left and right as you lead" and "let go of looking primarily up and down as you lead." The goal, according to the author, is to create relationships with your peers and avoid what he refers to as "vertical tunnel vision," the tendency to only pay attention to what those above you and below you are doing.
Another chapter recommends that one "pick up defining what to do" and "let go of telling how to do it." This can be a particularly tall order for most managers. After all, promotions are generally given to people who excel at what they do. It can be tempting, therefore, to view your methods as the best and/or only way to accomplish a task. Eblin suggests, however, that the best leaders guide their employees by establishing clear and firm guidelines, then allowing them to do the work their own way.
Each chapter ends with 10 tips for putting Eblin's advice into play. The tips range from practical observations to sage mantras. "Avoid the unintended consequences that stem from 'thinking out loud' in front of subordinates," the author advises at the end of his chapter on taking a "big footprint view" of your role. The chapter on accountability includes the tip, "Learn to derive satisfaction from the fact that the work got done, not that you did it."
The Right Tools for the Right Job
Perhaps the most useful tools, however, are the two appendices included at the end of the book. The first is a guide to creating an Executive Success Plan or "ESP." Eblin recommends the plan be used with the help of an "executive coach," but provides clear instructions for those who want to do it themselves.
He lists the principles discussed in the book and encourages readers to seek input from colleagues about how they fare in each area. Readers are then advised to analyze the results, identify areas for improvement and seek ongoing advice from the "feedback team."
Appendix B is the Situation Solutions Guide. This table contains various dilemmas common among those navigating new positions referenced against the corresponding chapter containing the appropriate advice.
Overall, Eblin's book provides the advice that no one ever thinks to give you on taking the leap to the next level. And it's good advice, from experienced executives, that's useable today.
Why We Like This Book
The Next Level is full of practical advice that is clearly stated. It is designed to be referred to repeatedly, and Eblin's use of lists and tables helps to ensure that the reader can quickly find the answers they are looking for. This book is excellent for individuals looking to make it to the next level, as well as executive coaches that want to use it as a reference tool with clients.

LG Electronics launched a new flagship smartphone, the Optimus G. The device will begin shipping next week in South Korea .LG said Tuesday that the Optimus G will go on sale in Japan next month and in the US in November.
LG Display, a supplier of Apple Inc, and other LG-affiliated companies collaborated to put together the premium phone, which LG hopes will steal attention from Apple's iPhone 5 and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones.
Once having claimed the world's third-largest handset maker, LG slid to the world's No. 5 mobile phone maker during the three months ending in June as China-based ZTE Corp. gained ground in low-end smartphones.
LG added new video-related features to the Optimus G, such as multitasking while playing videos.

For the 7th year in a row Best Western brought together a panel of industry executives to discuss the state of leisure of travel in Canada. Once again I had the pleasure of moderating the discussion that was held at the Board of Trade in downtown Toronto. My task was made much easier with the strength of the panel. Dorothy Dowling, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Best Western participated in her seventh summit along with Tony Pollard, the President of the Hotel Association of Canada who was here for his fifth. Joining Dorothy and Tony as a panel rookie was Brenda Kyllo, Vice President of Travel at CAA.
Right from the get go, the theme was cautious optimism with all three panelists agreeing that travel trends and forward numbers look promising but with much uncertainty it was not yet time to "count our chickens".
Tony Pollard once again enlightened us to the concerns surrounding Canadians flocking across the border to take advantage of lower airfares. He feels that enough business is driving south to keep an airport like Halifax busy for an entire year.
Tony also highlighted the fact that despite many important amenities like free wireless Internet, free parking and complimentary breakfast, travellers continue to place the most value on friendly service. It was ranked as the most important factor in deciding where to stay again this year in the Hotel Association's Annual Survey of Travel Intentions.
Brenda Kyllo was a fantastic addition to the panel and spoke a lot about changes in how travel is being distributed and the need for professional agents to demonstrate value in order to survive. She went on to talk about the role of social media and how content sharing gives travellers access to a lot of information but that can be overwhelming and people still appreciate a trusted source. CAA with their 5.6 million members is certainly a trusted source.
Dorothy Dowling felt strongly that gas prices would not have any kind of significant impact on travel this summer and spoke more about the desire for Canadians to find value in other ways. Canadians and our passionate engagement in loyalty programs is a great example. Dorothy feels that loyalty programs are increasingly important for leisure travelers, especially during the summer months when there are seasonal promotions in play. Best Western recognizes this and each summer launch a Summer Promotion. In the last year, remarkably the Best Western Rewards program has grown by 24% in Canada, where numbers were already very strong.
I asked the panel to conclude by taking out their crystal balls and trying to guess what the key topics would be next May. The top three topics identified are the continued demand for greater price transparency in travel; the continued rise of mobile and the emergence of Facebook in the leisure ravel space.
Any guesses from you the topics on the horizon in Canadian leisure travel?

What a great day we've had. Spending time with friends in the sun, the children behaving themselves for once and a couple of prizes to boot. A moment to savour and cherish.
First off we spent most of the afternoon with various friends and their children at a small barbeque, the kids played in the paddling pool and actually behaved themselves for once. Then a quick dash to the local flower show to see if we'd won anything. I'd entered a knitting class with the all-in-one suit you can see in my pictures here and the boys toddler group had entered the Frieze by a Pre-School Group class. I got a 'Highly Commended' and the group won first prize and a cup, which JB1 collected and clutched all the way home! I will definitely be going back for more next year! Coupled with the lovely sunshine for most of the day and a nice cool breeze as I type, I almost couldn't be happier (a clean and tidy house would put the icing on the cake, but you can't have it all eh?)
I'll leave you with the BBCs' Perfect Day/Children In Need single from 1997.

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Fort Lee overhauls its math curriculum
FORT LEE — This fall, for the first time in a decade, students in all four Fort Lee elementary schools will crack open new, identical math textbooks.
The moment will mark the official start of a long-awaited curriculum overhaul that will bring uniformity and stability to a district known for having the highest superintendent turnover rate in Bergen County.
Having even one homogenous course of study signifies a turning point officials once considered painfully out of reach.
"We have had so much transition in the central office that there hasn't been consistent oversight," said newly appointed Assistant Superintendent Sharon Amato. "No one spent enough time evaluating the schools as a whole system."
After 12 years and nine superintendents, things are beginning to move into order.
Under the supervision of Amato, who has served the district in various capacities for nearly 30 years, officials are pulling divergent lesson plans and materials back together to form one cohesive curriculum for all elementary students in the district.
The $896,000 effort will implement an entirely new math program for K-8 students this coming school year as well as a more non-fiction-based K-8 language arts program for 2013-2014.
"We've made a huge investment," said Superintendent Steven Engravalle. "But we're confident that we made the best decision with the resources we went with and the curriculum structures that we approved."
An unexpected $400,000 bonus in state aid this year will help ensure the dent in the district's $60 million budget remains small.
"It's a pretty good deal. This is what we should be spending our money on," said Engravalle. "Five of our six schools are receiving all the resources they need."
Lewis F. Cole Middle School is included in the curriculum overhaul because it was due for an update. Curriculums normally undergo review every five years at a minimum, and the middle school had long passed that benchmark. This would extend the new programs to its intended K-8 length.
Over a two-month program selection process, two curriculum committees made up of volunteer school administrators, teachers, parents and several board of education members reviewed state core curriculum standards and brainstormed the best ways to meet them.
Amato created the committees – one for math, one for language arts – just ten days after ascending to her new post.
In May, the committees viewed presentations from three publishing companies, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill and Pearson, that gave committee members a chance to examine sample textbooks and online teaching tools in person.
Pearson had "the best, research-based products out there," said Amato and ultimately provided the most ideal fit for Fort Lee.
Its "Envision" math program offers numerous online resources for students, parents and staff as well as additional instruction in Spanish.
Though there is no similar option for the Korean language, English as a Second Language and bilingual teachers will be on hand, to assist the large number of Korean transplants attending Fort Lee schools, said Amato.
Envision will make math "more relevant to real life" by asking students to apply formulas to common everyday scenarios and having them explain the reasoning behind their answers, she said.
"It's more language-based," said Amato. "There's more literacy involved."
Full implementation of a broad language arts curriculum will need to wait however, said Amato, to allow teachers and professional developers enough time to "do it right."
To help smooth the way, several teachers are spending the summer learning the ins and outs of the program so that come next fall, they'll be able to guide each school building through the new mode of instruction. Two parts of the language arts curriculum, "Words Their Way" and "Writing Coach," will be introduced this year.

I am sold on PB since the first time I was talked into a can of it while at a parts store for something totally unrelated. This old counter guy was talking to a customer as I walked up to cash out. He was telling the customer how good the PB was, etc. I decided to try it myself, having not had any especially good results from much of anything else through the years.
One of the first times I used it was on a buddy's Pontiac T/A radiator support. I sprayed a stuck, rusted bolt (battery acid) and walked away. I came back and the bolt turned so easily that I almost hurt myself when I put my weight on the wrench to turn the bolt. I accused the guy of loosening it and not telling me, there was that much of a difference. Using it in the years since then, I know it was no fluke.
My only complaint is the nozzle doesn't take a straw, I always have to root around for an old spray tip w/a straw to replace the PB tip with.
But I've never tried acetone/ATF. I have noticed that acetone eventually screws up spray bottles, though. Maybe mixed w/ATF it wouldn't be so bad. Acetone also evaporated VERY quickly, so if it didn't penetrate within a
time, it's going to be gone leaving just ATF.

H-E-B and TMF Health Quality Institute recently committed to continue their multi-year support of TMA's Be Wise — Immunize program for 2013 and 2014. This is the second two-year investment by these outstanding health leaders. "This is what we mean when we talk about the power of medicine, business and community collaborating to achieve great health for more Texans. We thank them, along with the TMA and TMAA members and community groups who sponsor Be Wise events to protect Texans from serious, yet preventable diseases," remarked Russell WH Kridel, MD, FACS, president of TMAF.
Both H-E-B and TMF Health Quality Institute are founding funders of the Be Wise—Immunize campaign, which TMA launched in 2004 to increase the state's ranking as 47th in immunization rates. From 2004 to 2012, Be Wise had administered more than 234,000 vaccinations to nearly 106,000 children at more than 800 community events with the help of its diverse range of community partners, TMA physicians, Alliance members, and medical school students.
TMA Foundation is seeking additional gifts to ensure these 2013 programs are fully funded. Visit TMAF's secure donation page if you'd like to make a contribution.

Kids Against Hunger-Brainerd Lakes Area undertakes initiative to feed the hungry
One million meals.
It's an ambitious goal, but one Kids Against Hunger-Brainerd Lakes Area is ready to take, with help from the community.
"Food designed for starving people is what Kids Against Hunger packs," said John Poston, executive director of the Kids Against Hunger facility in Nisswa.
While the rice-based, protein-packed meals are delivered to food shelves, they primarily are shipped to Haiti, the Philippines and Syria to feed starving people.
Now the local Kids Against Hunger organization is undertaking the Million Meal Challenge to help feed hungry people right here in north central Minnesota with meals that are more familiar to Americans.
"Every food shelf tells me the same thing: 'We have more clients and we have less food.' That's a common thing you hear," Poston said, noting that not all the food at food shelves is what hungry people should necessarily be eating.
"They need something that is, No. 1, real nutritious; and No. 2, they need something they can rely on all the time," he said.
Thus, the Million Meal Challenge.
Working with an organization called Outreach, Kids Against Hunger-Brainerd Lakes Area recently received ingredients to pack 50,000 meals — a macaroni and cheese meal and a beans and rice meal, both containing vitamins, minerals and soy for protein.
"Both of these are really nutritious, really healthy. The bad stuff is out of them and it's something we want them (food shelves) to rely on having constantly," Poston said.
Meals will be delivered to food shelves, soup kitchens and homeless shelters throughout north central Minnesota. They also will be provided to Operation Sandwich next summer to help feed hungry children who aren't in school, and to be included in backpack programs at area schools to help feed hungry children.
It costs 25 cents to produce each meal, so Kids Against Hunger-Brainerd Lakes Area seeks to raise a quarter million dollars to buy the ingredients. The nonprofit organization will rely on area businesses, civic groups, churches and individuals to raise the money.
"And then we'll need a lot of volunteers — hundreds of volunteers — to do this," Poston said.
He expected volunteers to begin packing the macaroni and cheese and beans and rice meals this week. The goal is to be able to buy enough ingredients and pack enough meals to supply food shelves for a year, with the momentum of fundraising and packing meals to then continue.

Foundation, military start brain treatment center
CAMP LEJEUNE - The Marine Corps and a private foundation are breaking ground on a new clinic in North Carolina to treat servicemen and women suffering from traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress.
A groundbreaking Wednesday at Camp Lejeune marks the start of construction of an $11 million satellite center paid for by the foundation known as the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
The 25,000-square-foot center will operate in connection with a similar facility opened in 2010 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
Foundation spokesman Jody Fisher says the satellite clinic is to be built within three years and then donated to the Department of Defense.
The new center is to be one of nine the foundation is trying to build around the country.

The Center for Middle Eastern Studies 2013 Spring Film Series prestents the movie "War and Love in Kabul."
Hossein and Shaima have loved each other since childhood. As teenagers, they were separated by war. Now, they meet again in Kabul in the 1990s. Poverty forced Hossein to fight in the war. A shell splinter leaves him a paraplegic. Shortly afterward, Shaima is sold into marriage to a man 40 years her senior. Despite the fact that Shaima is with child, her father brings her back into the constraining patriarchal fold as her husband never paid her dowry in full. These complex circumstances do not prevent these two lovers from seeing each other, even though this means going against their families' rules and living in fear of revenge.

It has been consistently rumored over the past week that supplies of Retina iPad mini are going to be severely constrained due to low yield rates of display panels. Apple has now reportedly turned to its arch rival Samsung to provide it with the panels.
LG and Sharp are the primary manufacturers of the Retina display panels for the new iPad mini. Earlier this week it was reported that Sharp is to blame for the display panel shortages, its the second manufacturer after LG, but it reportedly contributes as much as 40 percent of all panels. Low yield rates of the panels are believed to be the reason why supplies of Retina iPad mini are expected to be tight until Q1, 2014. LG too is reportedly facing yield issues, its "not close to full production," claim various reports.
So in order to ease up supplies after an expected launch later this month, Apple has reportedly turned towards Samsung to provide it with Retina display panels for the second generation iPad mini. Samsung is one of the few manufacturers that is capable of producing Retina display panels in the quantities that Apple wants, but its rumored that the panels from the Korean giant might not come until early next year, which would mean that regardless of tapping Samsung, Retina iPad mini's supply may remain tight throughout the lucrative holiday season.
This isn't the first time that Retina iPad mini supply issues have come to light. Even prior to the tablet's announcement, analysts claimed that supply would be tight due to this very reason. Apple confirmed fears when it didn't announce a concrete release date for the tablet at the iPad event last month, it still says that the tablet will be available later in November.
