text: Should parents be encouraged to home school their children? Valerie Meyers Janelle Mitchell Kristin Thomas Definition of Home Schooling The instruction of a student in an educational program outside of an established school system, typically in the home environment History of Home Schooling 17th-18th century American colonial period, majority of education was home schooling Public schools taught trades, these schools were used by the underprivileged Private tutors were used by the wealthy 1860s States began enacting compulsory attendance laws Requiring school attendance for all school age students by law of that declared state By 1929, compulsory attendance laws existed in every state 19th century Public schooling dominated, home schooling was not used at this time History of Home Schooling 1957 Utah was the first state to recognize home schooling as an educational option to parents Idea of home schooling started to reemerge in American society 1970s Home schooling was objected to by school administrators, teachers, and teachers unions Recent history did not promote home schooling, though it was obvious that portions of the current population wanted this option Courts decided that children needed to be educated and states had the right to require education but it was up to the parent to decide the type of educational program for their child 1986 All states adopted laws recognizing that parents had the option to home school Relevant Court Cases for Home Schooling 1923 Meyer v. Nebraska A 10 year old was taught German, when the existing law stated foreign language could not be taught until 8th grade Ruled that it is the right of the parent to give their child the education they see suitable 1925 Pierce v. Society of Sisters Questioned the Compulsory Education Act, which required school aged children to attend public school system Ruled that this violates the rights of parents to direct the education of their children by enforcing a standardized system whereby children are forced to be educated by public teachers only This case changed the state compulsory attendance laws, requiring inclusion of both public and non-public schools Relevant Court Cases for Home Schooling 1927 Farrington v. Tokushige Legality of foreign language schools in Hawaii was questioned Ruled "The…parent has the right to direct the education of his own child without unreasonable restrictions; the Constitution protects him…" 1972 Wisconsin v. Yoder Amish families challenged the age listed in the Compulsory Attendance laws They believed that sending their children to school beyond the 8th grade level endangered the practices and ideals of their religion Ruled that the First Amendment freedom of religion outweighed the school attendance laws and if the parental interests were religious, rather than personal or philosophical, children were exempt from the Compulsory Attendance law and did not have to attend school for the required number of years Relevant Court Cases for Home Schooling 1998 Brunelle v. Lynne Public Schools The school committee enforced a policy that included home visits by the superintendent or school representatives to observe and evaluate the home schooling process Brunelle argued that the home visits were in violation of his and his family's rights Ruled that the government may not intrude unnecessarily on family affairs Home Schooling is Dependent Upon the Individual State Laws Criteria for home schooling varies across all the states States have the right to decide the: Minimum qualifications for the home instructor Curriculum requirements Minimum amount of time spent on instruction (hours/day, days/year) Measurement of student progress States range from having no regulations on home schooling (besides compulsory school age) to having strict regulation requirements for home schooling Pennsylvania is a state with strict regulation requirements for home schooling Pennsylvania Home Education Law Compulsory school age: 8-17 years Attendance: 180 days/year (900 hrs elementary, 990 hrs secondary) Parent must have a High School diploma The parent must inform their local superintendent of their decision to home school their child/children by August 1st Curriculum: English: reading, writing, spelling, language, literature, speech, composition Math: general math, statistics, algebra, geometry Science: basic science, biology, chemistry History: geography, US history, PA history, civics, social studies, world history, economics Foreign language, music, art, physical education, health, safety, fire danger/prevention Evaluation: portfolio of materials used, examples of work completed, written evaluation by a teacher or administrator, and standardized tests (submitted yearly) Reasons for Home Schooling Parent occupations involve extended stays outside of a school system Families live in rural areas where the educational options are limited or not available Parent educational experience influenced their decision to home school their kids Political and/or religious beliefs Belief that the "one-size-fits-all" concept used in public schools is not beneficial to their children ADVANTAGES Of Home Schooling Main Advantages of Home Schooling The main advantages of home schooling involve a parent's increased control & influence in the following areas: Religious/Philosophical Beliefs Socialization Academics As well as increasing a child's "family time." Religion Home schooling allows a family to weave their convictions into every aspect of their "curriculum." They are now in control of the subject matter and in control of the topics. Provides students with "proper" social, moral, and religious values Avoid "problem ridden" public schools Some parents are under the impression that public schools are crime-ridden, drug-filled, dangerous environments This allows them to incorporate a religious basis to the educational curriculum Fastest growing group of home schoolers (2/3 of families choose it for this reason) Socialization Fewer behavioral problems Less negative influences from peers More respectful Removes them from confinement with their "age-mates." With students of the same age, opposed to students at the same academic level. Increased interactions w/ parents (adults) Promotes more mature and poised youth Academics (A) Custom-Designed Curriculum Flexible schedule to teach desired curriculum. Follow interests with a passion, which provides a profound love of learning Foreign languages Music Other special skills/academic interests Spend as little or as much time on a desired subject Learn things when ready Encourages & strengthens a child's individual potential (B) Children can learn at their own pace. Move as fast or as slow as needed Encourages self-motivation Encourages thinking for themselves Academics (C) Working with the Child's Learning Style Many parents are under the impression that public schools are graduating illiterate students who are unprepared for the work force due to a lack of individualized attention Students of average ability, who are able to input & process information according to their natural learning style, become great learners a parent is better able to discover the child's learning style The traditional classroom is teacher-driven, whereas the home school can be student-driven, and the child allowed to master areas in the best way at the best time for the best results Do home schooled children actually do better than public school children? On most academic measures, home schooled students outperform public school students on standardized tests. The largest study so far, authorized for the Home School Legal Defense Association, by University of Maryland statistician Lawrence M. Rudner, examined 20,000 home schooled students from 50 states. The data gathered in this study is consistent with information found in the Education Policy Analysis Archives. These students scored higher on standardized tests than public and private school students in every subject and at every grade level. The longer their parents had home schooled them, the better they did. Results Standardized national tests of skills & achievement: Home schoolers scored better than 70-80% of all test takers By 8th grade, the median performance of home school students is almost 4 grade levels above that of students nationwide. By 12th grade, home schooled students scored in 92nd percentile in reading. In 1999, when the SATs began tracking its scores, home schooled students scored an average of 1083, 67 points above the national average They also scored an average of 22.7 on the ACT, which is higher than the national average of 21. Home Schooled Students Attending College 69% of home schoolers go on to college Parents put together portfolios w/ samples of work & lists of accomplishments More then 2/3 of American colleges now accept such transcripts If other standardized tests are required, students simply take them Harvard, for example, accepts approximately 10 each year Home Schooled Students Attending College Home schooled students do well in college, after the initial adjustment A 1997 study reports that home school students are in fact academically, emotionally, & socially prepared to excel in college. Also in 1997, for example, a four-year study of students at Bob Jones University found home schooled children scored higher in campus leadership activities than students from either the public school system or private schools. Home school graduates average a 3.3 GPA their freshman year, compared to the average 3.12 GPA received by public school graduates "Home schoolers bring certain skills -- motivation, curiosity, the capacity to be responsible for their education -- that high schools don't induce very well," says Jon Reider, Stanford's senior associate director of admissions. "Family Time" Brings families closer together. Parents feel that children need to learn from people who care deeply about them. After a child enters the public school system, they begin spending more awake time with peers than parents. Less emphasis on parent-child relationship Parents become the main role-model in a home schooling environment. Easier to instill values & morals Improved language development Minimizes friction between teens & parents What Can Public Schools Do? In a study conducted in Kentucky in 1998, the question, "What can public schools do to re-attract families who home school their children?" was asked. The #1 answer received was: "Infuse religion into the practices and curriculum of the public schools." Five Main Disadvantages of Home Schooling Time and Effort Limits of the Teacher Lack of Recognition Financial Socialization Time and Effort Time consuming for parents Designing the curriculum Getting the materials Teaching the curriculum Effort Energy to stay informed Limits of the Teacher Feel inadequate to teach subject in coherent and skillful manner. Sciences Languages Multicultural awareness Lack of resources Enrichment activities Books Fundamental Materials Lack of Recognition from Public/Community Academically SAT scores Spelling Bees Athletics Financial School Districts They are funded by the number of students enrolled. When students are pulled out, the school loses that funding. Without funding, other effects could happen Extra curricular programs like sports, music, and arts. Financial Parents/Family They have to buy the materials Provide transportation for field trips Lost of income since one parent stays home. Socialization Diversity Not exposed to diversity Religious views Cultures Customs Languages Political Socialization Becky Martin, 17, stated: "I feel the school setting is providing a ground for what lies ahead." She was home schooled, went to catholic school, then home schooled again because she couldn't conform to the teacher's method of teaching. Group's Conclusion As a group, we feel that parents should not be encouraged to home school their children; however, we do acknowledge that home schooling is a viable option for parents. Questions?

Chelsea (1) 1 Charlton Athletic (1) 1
Aet: 90 min 1-1; Charlton win 5-4 on pens
Chelsea's grip on the Carling Cup was ended in dramatic fashion by a feisty Charlton Athletic side at Stamford Bridge. Put on the spot by Alan Curbishley's busy men, Chelsea failed to keep their nerve during the penalty shoot-out.
When Robert Huth missed, Bryan Hughes was the hero for Charlton with the decisive penalty.
The holders were held over two hours of interesting, if hardly compelling football, by a Charlton side brimming with pace, organisation and self-belief. Despite falling behind to a John Terry header, Charlton hit back through Darren Bent's ninth goal in 11 games.
Chelsea controlled large swathes of this third-round tie but the Premiership's second-best side refused to fade and matched the Premiership pace-setters all the way to the dead-ball denouement.
Before the familiar sights of a headed goal from Terry and Bent's slick finish, the Bridge had been treated to two rarities: Frank Lampard limbering up along the touchline, within touching distance of Wayne Bridge, who was making a welcome return to competitive action after eight months in the purgatory of physiotherapy.
Until Bent's dramatic interception just before the break, the force was mainly with Chelsea. The holders should really have been two goals clear by the interval, even without the playmaking talents of Lampard, who started on the bench alongside Joe Cole and Didier Drogba.
Arjen Robben was his usual mercurial self, creating chances out of nothing or disappearing down cul de sacs like a learner driver. Yet the Dutchman displayed his deftness in possession after 22 minutes, playing a neat reverse-pass down the inside-left channel for Bridge to chase. The full-back's cross was superb, perfectly weighted to clear Charlton's central defence and drop towards Hernan Crespo.
The Argentinian rose well and headed the ball back, from right to left, but fractionally wide of Andersen's post, the incident carrying echoes of Christian Vieri's hear-miss for Italy against England in Rome in 1997. Charlton's noisy following breathed a sigh of relief.
Alan Curbishley's side failed to learn from this escape. Chelsea had quickly spotted the visitors' vulnerability to balls flighted in from the flanks. Robert Huth eluded his marker at one corner to send a header skimming wide. Again Charlton ignored the warning. Five minutes from the turnaround, Chelsea broke through. Again Robben bent over a corner that caused chaos in the Charlton area.
Shoddy marking will have irritated such a perfectionist as Curbishley. The Charlton manager will have been frustrated that Terry in particular was not picked up. By the time Talal El Karkouri had seen the danger it was too late, the untroubled Terry powering in to head past Andersen from 10 yards.
Chelsea's jubiliations were short-lived. When Huth injected too little power in a back-header towards Carlo Cudicini, Bent was in like a flash, seizing on the ball as it rolled into the box and despatching a firm left-footer past the exposed Cudicini.
Stirred by Mourinho, Chelsea really went for Charlton, Terry sending a left-footed volley wide before Andersen spread himself athletically to save from Eidur Gudjohnsen. Lampard arrived on the hour, replacing Bridge.
As the minutes passed, so the temperature rose and the increasingly excellent Hermann Hreidarsson and Cudicini exchanged all manner of unpleasantries. Cudicini's fingers, rather than his mood, were stung four minutes from the end of normal time when Jay Bothroyd let fly.
Extra time brought the unedifying spectacle of Terry going in late on Andersen, bundling the keeper over the line after Drogba had threatened. Chelsea's captain was deservedly cautioned. His central-defensive accomplice, the hefty Huth, then twice smashed in shots which Charlton's defence did well to block as the game headed towards its climax.

Chelsea (4-1-2-2-1): Cudicini; Ferreira, Huth, Terry, Bridge (Lampard, 60); Essien; Geremi, Gudjohnsen; Wright-Phillips (J Cole, 60), Robben; Crespo (Drogba, 82). Subs: Cech (g), Diarra. Booked: Essien, Geremi, Terry.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
The Carolina Beach Police Department is hosting a bicycle safety event on Saturday. Bike Rodeo, which is being held again for the first time since 2008, will be taking place at the Carolina Beach Recreation Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"We have a lot of bike riders [on the island]," said Carolina Beach Police Corporal Stewart Henderson, one of the event's organizers. "I figured we should bring it back to the kids about safety since we have so many bike riders."
A safety course will be set up outside the recreation center by the League of American Bicyclists, who will also be giving the safety demonstrations. Participants will first register their bicycle with the police department, get some free goodies, sit for a helmet fitting and then go through the safety course. Bikes will be provided to complete the course for those who don't have their own, and thanks to donations, 400 helmets are available for every child who doesn't have one.
After successfully completing the course, each rider will be given a ticket to enter the recreation center, where carnival games and other forms of entertainment will be set up. The tickets will allow people to play the games to win prizes as well as enter them into raffles. The list of prizes include iPads and 35 bicycles, all of which were donated by local businesses.
There will also be free food and refreshments. King BMX Stunt Show, which was featured on America's Got Talent and has performed at halftime shows at events around the country, will be performing three times during the course of the event. Showtimes are 10:45 a.m., noon, and 1:15 p.m. outside the rec center.
The popularity of the event, which was held for eight straight years until 2008, partially led to it being discontinued.
"It was overwhelming for the size of the police department at the time," said Henderson, who is also the school resource officer for Carolina Beach Elementary School.
It took a lot of help from the community to bring the event back. Planning for the event began in February, and $21,000 has been raised to go toward getting all the things that will be made free to the public.
Diane Hodapp, owner of Shore Break Bikes and a member of the Bike Rodeo committee, is one of the people donating time and resources to make the event as successful as possible.
"In the summer when it's busy, [bicycling] is the easiest way to get around the island," Hodapp said. "That's why bike safety is so important."
Hodapp and her business donated 200 of the 400 helmets that will be available and is also helping man a station that will be doing safety checklists and minor repairs for bikes. She said she'll also be giving out coupons to her store for people who need major fixes.
"We've been super busy at the store, so that's a good sign" of the level of interest in cycling on the island, said Hodapp. "It's going to be such a great event."

Exploring the surprising abundance of wine offerings coming out of Austria
By Stephen Quinn, Special to The China Post Friday, July 13, 2012, 10:07 pm TWN
Gruner veltliner is the most popular grape variety in Austria, accounting for a third of all plantings in that country. It is little known in the Asian region though some recent releases might change public perception.
Over the past decade gruner veltliner has become recognized for its freshness and acid zing, making it an ideal wine for summer.
So as the weather gets hotter it is time to experiment with less common grape varieties like gruner veltliner.
All wines should be served cold in summer, to enhance their natural acidity. Even red wines should be chilled before drinking.
Weingut Brundlmayer, translated as Brundlmayer winery, entered the Asian market three years ago and has been targeting top-end restaurants, aiming to get on prestige wine lists. Wine & Spirits magazine in the United States described Brundlmayer as the "best Austrian winery of the last 25 years."
The 2010 Brundlmayer Kamptaler Terrassen is a blend of gruner veltliner from two different sources. Kamptaler refers to the Kamptal river, a tributary of the Danube, and terrassen acknowledges the fact the grapes came from terraced vineyards.
The wine is crisp, fresh and sappy with a slightly oily mouthfeel. The wine offers delicate aromas of lime and apple with a hint of spice and yeast. High acidity gives the wine a distinct zing with a dry finish.
It would be an ideal wine to drink with smoke-flavored foods like smoked duck or smoked trout.
All Brundlmayer wines have been sealed with stelvin screw caps since 2007, which means the wine will reach you as fresh as when it left the vineyard.
The 2004 Brundlmayer Loiser Berg is also made from gruner veltliner but built in the auslese style, meaning it is picked late (at the end of October) when the grapes are very ripe.
The wine has good acidity and is youthful given its age. It smells of honey, marmalade, quinces and kumquat. Yet it has a mineral edge, a reflection of the rocky soils in which the vines grow.
It is sweet but not cloying -- a lovely combination of fruit, acid and minerals with good length and a touch of class.
This would be a perfect wine for a range of Chinese food styles, but it would also pair well with rich dishes like foie gras or roasted pork.
The Nikolaihof vineyard is the oldest wine estate in Austria with a history dating back 2,000 years to Roman times. Documents at the estate show wine has been produced there from about 60 years before the birth of Christ.

Weiss haven't planned any significant departures from the basic storylines of "A Storm of Swords," so don't crack open the third book in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series if you'd rather be surprised). However, the cast generously shared some new tasty tidbits with us during a Kingsroad stopover at Crossroads Inn. (Okay, it was the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, but play along.)
Read on for some juicier-than-blood-pie morsels from Jon Snow, Arya, Brienne, the Kingslayer and
"I just released the worst spoiler possible!" Gwendoline Christie joked to reporters after
recounting her impromptu lap dance with Kit Harington at the red-carpet premiere in Los Angeles. ("David
Benioff bet Kit that he wouldn't jump up on the revolving Iron Throne," she explained. "He did that, and
he said join me, and I jumped up on his lap. Why not?")
...but only in a humorous sense. Gwendoline Christie and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau have mad chemistry and really deserve their own comedy spinoff. "She kills him," the actress teased about Brienne's upcoming scenes with Jaime Lannister. "There's an episode where she kills him and he dies it and that's it. There's another spoiler for you."
"It is an adaptation," added Coster-Waldau about the imaginary deviation from Martin's original
"I am such a huge fan of Breaking Bad," Coster-Waldau enthused about the acclaimed
AMC drama. "It's funny, what I love about that show is you take this guy—who's just a really good, good
guy, he couldn't harm a fly—and then in the end of the show he becomes Scarface. And on the surface
you think Jaime Lannister starts out as horrible, trying to kill an innocent child… He takes a different
journey, but there are some similarities."
Although he's a skilled swordfighter in his own right ("He learned it through Skype," quipped
Christie), Coster-Waldau is not ambidextrous. "I might have to work on that," he laughed.
Australian actor Noah Taylor, who's playing Locke—a version of the popular Bloody Mummers
leader Vargo Hoat (a.k.a. the Goat)—deserves to share his character's other nickname: the Crippler. "He
bruised my rib!" complained Coster-Waldau, who still had nothing but praise for his new co-star.
"We loved him, absolutely adored him," raved Christie. "He was just the most gloriously savage, entertaining, extraordinary man. You can tell he's dedicated to the work but he's having fun with it all
the time. He was one of my favorites to work with this season."
"I watch Glee obsessively—it's my guilty pleasure," admitted Maisie Williams.
(This might not be a surprise to those of you who've heard the young actress sing and rap with co-star Isaac Hempstead-Wright in the DVD extras. "How are we going to top ourselves?"
she mused about their Season 3 performance. "Opera?")
Fifteen-year-old Williams clammed up, just for a second, when asked about juggling school with acting. "I started [a new school] in November and I've only actually been for about five full days because I've been off doing other things," she admitted. "I enjoy [working] so much, have such a great time, that it's more important than school to me… If I decide one day I don't want to do this anymore and I need to get some qualifications, then I'll go back."
Meanwhile, she enjoys reading—but "A Song of Ice and Fire" is not on her short list. "George's books,
they're like this big!" she groaned with a gesture signifying the tall tomes. "Oh, how am I going to get
through that?"
In addition to the TV series' creation of Talisa Maegyr (Oona Chaplin) replacing the Jeyne Westerling character as Robb Stark's wife ("That's a relationship that develops in Season 3 as well," Michelle Fairley told us about Catelyn and her daughter-in-law), Margaery Tyrell's character is significantly expanded on screen.
"That was always David and Dan's plan," revealed Natalie Dormer, who plays the current future Mrs. Joffrey Baratheon. "When I took the role, they
explained we're going to flesh her out." In a joking aside to co-star Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa, she
added, "We can't all be really important POV characters."
Sansa might be important, but Joffrey's chew toy has been slammed by fans. "This is news to me," said Dormer, turning to Turner: "Did you get a lot of slack when you first started doing it? Aw!"
"The thing that frustrates me," shared Turner, "is the fact if you were a 13-year-old girl thrust into the
exactly same situation I can almost guarantee you would make the same decisions she makes… [But]
she's not going to let people use her [anymore]. She's not going to be so naive [and becomes] a player
of her own. That's what I think will hopefully attract the viewer to her and perhaps think more kindly of
her… I feel she is my first love in a way, it's weird." Say it again: Aw.
"When you've met Diana Rigg, you know you've met Diana Rigg," Turner said about her legendary co-star, who's joining the cast as Olenna Tyrell—known as the Queen of Thorns for her razor-sharp wit.
"As young actresses, it's kind of NAR—no acting required," added Dormer about the scenes she and Turner share with Rigg. "It's a nice parallel there between Margaery and Sansa watching Olenna at work. She's been there, done that, got the T-shirt, so much wisdom and authority."
"She also knows her character by heart, but she kind of is her character at the same time," noted Turner
with awe. (And maybe a tad bit of fear.) "There are a lot of parallels between her and Olenna."
While Turner, Dormer and Rigg spend Season 3 enjoying all the luxuries at the Lannister court, Jon Snow and wilding Ygritte are shivering in Iceland, or what passes for the area beyond The Wall. "There was nothing quite like [walking through] two-foot snow" to heal a broken ankle, joked Harington, who injured himself off set.
"This is Ygritte's territory, this is her home, she can handle whatever it throws at her," noted Rose Leslie. "So there was that element of trying to pull it off slickly and rather smoothly and not falling over, ass-over-tit, in the snow."
John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tardy, called the harsh conditions "traumatic," especially while filming the season's first sequence. "It was just a day of running. I kept running through five-foot snow. At the end of six
hours, I was exhausted—and Sam's been running for about 12. Sam's theoretically fitter than me!"
Ygritte's famous catchphrase, "You know nothing, Jon Snow," has been the subject of many fan encounters for both Harington and Leslie; Leslie is often asked to repeat her famous line. Once, when she said it in her own accent instead of the Northern dialect, Leslie recounted, one waitress "was gutted, absolutely gutted, and she didn't even try covering it up. Her face fell and she genuinely looked me in the eye and said, 'That's not it.' I [offered to] do it again and she just walked off. She ruined our lunch."
For his part, Harington said, "It's always funny when you're with a friend who hasn't seen the show and
someone on the street comes up to you and says, 'You know nothing, you bastard!' And my friend's
there going, 'You gonna settle for that?' And I'm [offering a handshake and] going, 'Thank you very
The cast emphasized that Game of Thrones' third installment is "pivotal." "David and Dan really wanted to get to this point," said Dormer. "They felt very attached the idea of getting to Season 3. When you see the season, it's completely understandable why. There's a lot of big epic shocks, a lot of big events, [and] people have a lot of traumatic things happen to them."
If HBO ends up adapting all of the books in the Ice and Fire saga, Dormer says Season 3 will amount to "the big end of the first act, the way movies and plays are in three acts."
"This is the massive finale of the first act."
Game of Thrones returns Sunday, March 31 on HBO.

Within a month after the Massachusetts School Building Authority approved 80 percent funding to build the $53.2 million Morton Middle School, a state finance board allowed the city to assume a reduced bonding rate for the school and a dozen other projects to save the city more than $2 million, Mayor Will Flanagan said.
Within a month after the Massachusetts School Building Authority approved 80 percent funding to build the $53.2 million new Morton Middle School, a state finance board allowed the city to assume a reduced bonding rate for the school and a dozen other projects to save the city more than $2 million, Mayor Will Flanagan said.
"We saved the city about $2.2 million over 20 years," said Flanagan after the Massachusetts Municipal Financial Oversight Board action on Wednesday.
That board, chaired by state Auditor Suzanne Bump, authorized Fall River to use the state's AA long-term bond rating in lieu of the city's BBB rating, he said.
The high bond rating allows the city to borrow $13.5 million and save an estimated 1.5 percent on the long-term interest rate starting in fiscal 2012. said Flanagan and interim treasurer Edward Iacaponi.
"The purpose of this was to compete for a better interest rate," Flanagan said. The state MSBA authorization for Morton "preempted this approval."
The city has spent about $3 million on the new Morton School, one of several recent projects that has required long-term borrowing. Using mostly 30-year bonds, the city has also borrowed for three water and sewer projects and a vehicle replacement program. Wach project is estimated at between $1.5 and $3 million for fiscal 2012, according to the city's financial bond advisor, Peter Frazier, senior vice president of FirstSouthwest in Boston.
Flanagan and his financial team appeared Wednesday before the state oversight board that includes representatives of the state treasurer, Department of Revenue and attorney general's office.
That day representatives from New Bedford ($6.5 million) and Pittsfield ($30 million) gained approval at separate meetings under the State Qualified Bond Act, Bump's board reported.
"These communities will use the bonds to fund a variety of existing projects," the board posted Wednesday on its website.
Iacaponi said the long-term borrowing guaranteed by the state and using its bond rating should save about $100,000 next fiscal year.
Through the same state method, the city should save another $100,000 through short-term bond anticipation notes and what he termed "internal borrowing."
The latter enabled the city to fund projects while anticipating the long-term borrowing, Iacaponi said.
"The real issue here is being able to climb on the back of those state-qualified bonds," he said.
After conferring with Frazier, Iacaponi reported the city had tapped the state borrowing system for prior long-term bonding.
"This has been around for a long time," said the retired fiscal officer in Dartmouth and New Bedford.
Flanagan said the potential for savings was identified by Iacaponi, who was consulted with the city since Treasurer David Grab resigned early this year.
"I'm not satisfied with a BBB rating," Flanagan said of that mediocre borrowing rate, which has caried slightly since 2007.
"I felt it was important for me to be there to show our commitment to our finances, Flanagan said of the meeting with the Financial Oversight Board. "It's important to obtain a qualified and competent treasurer and chief financial officer."

Clean Up Your Twitter
Direct Message Box!
Take control of your DM box!
Hate them or hate them… (sorry, almost no one loves them)… twitter auto DMs are one of the thorns in the side of most twitter users.
Fortunately, majority of these DMs are actually coming from the service SocialOomph, which now provides a nifty way to opt out of auto DMs from them.
Mind you, this is not ALL Direct Messages (and sadly, it will not stop the ones coming from infected accounts) but it WILL reduce the total number you receive substantially in most cases.
How To Opt-Out Of Receiving Automated Welcome DMs
As you know, SocialOomph users can automate their Twitter accounts to automatically send welcome DMs to their new followers.
As a past or potential recipient of those DMs, SocialOomph offers you a super-easy way to opt-out and never again receive an automated welcome DM sent by SocialOomph.
Please follow the steps below:
1) Log in to Twitter.
2) Follow @OptMeOut.
3) Wait for @OptMeOut to follow you back. @OptMeOut will send you a DM to tell you it has followed you.
4) Then send a DM to @OptMeOut. (You can write whatever you want in the DM, it does not matter.)
5) After sending the DM, unfollow @OptMeOut.
SocialOomph will, within a few minutes of you sending your DM, stop sending you any further automated welcome DMs. You will receive one last DM to confirm that you've been opted-out.
You do not need an account at SocialOomph to opt-out. Anybody on Twitter can opt-out.
As you can see, the instructions are very simple and straight forward but you MUST do all the steps for it to be effective and it only works for those DMs coming from SocialOomph's servers.
Follow back can take anywhere from several hours to a full day but you will know they have followed you back when you are ABLE to send them a direct message. Once you CAN send them a DM, it's time to!
You'll know they have followed you back and you can send them a DM when the little envelope icon appears on their profile – just click it and send your DM!
That's all there is to it! Now you've successfully opted out of a large amount of the auto-generated direct messages on twitter and should have a quieter mailbox!
What's you're favorite tip or trick for making the most of your time on twitter?

Vets at Huyton PDSA PetAid hospital in Liverpool had to act quickly when Harvey, a six-month old Shar Pei, was rushed in with severe pain and vomiting.
Harvey required immediate treatment to discover the problem, which turned out to be a cocktail stick that had perforated his intestines,causing potentially fatal peritonitis.
PDSA senior veterinary surgeon, Chris Symonds, said: "Harvey is lucky to be alive. He was seriously ill and could have died at any time. The initial x-rays didn't provide a definite diagnosis but I was suspicious because his abdomen was so tender.
"The x-rays showed a lack of detail, indicating the likelihood of free abdominal fluid, so we decided to carry out an emergency laparotomy. It was only then that the true extent of his condition was discovered. His intestine had been pierced by a cocktail stick.
"This had lead to Harvey developing peritonitis, which had also caused his intestines to adhere together. As well as removing the wooden stick, a thorough lavage of the abdomen was required."
There was concern about Harvey's condition following surgery but after intensive treatment he was able to be discharged the next day, subject to regular check-ups.
Harvey's owner, Mrs Alice Carr, said: "I can't thank PDSA enough. Harvey started being sick a couple of days earlier but I didn't think it was anything to worry about at first. Once I realised he was in pain I took him straight away to PDSA who said that he was critically ill."
She added: "I am so happy he's pulled through. Harvey is such a lovely dog and is going from strength to strength now. Everyone at Huyton PetAid hospital has been so wonderful."

Related Poem Content Details
Poet Richard Kenney was born in 1948 in Glens Falls, New York and earned a BA from Dartmouth College. His first collection of poetry, The Evolution of the Flightless Bird (1984), received the Yale Younger Poets Prize. The book's formal ambitiousness and technical facility, including an extended sonnet sequence, presaged Kenney's future work, which has won accolades for its deft use of traditional forms and themes as well as its originality of voice. "Such poetry is not afraid of having intellect, or requiring it," asserted William Logan in the New York Times Book Review, reviewing Kenney's debut.
Kenney's second book, Orrery (1985), took its name from an eighteenth-century device used to display the movements of the solar system. The work features sonnets devoted to physics, memory, and time, as well as a sequence set on an apple cider farm in present-day Vermont. Poet J.D. McClatchy hailed Kenney as "a poet...

beautiful bed! very simple but that's what makes it so elegant. the upholstery looks great in my room. it's easy to maintain despite it being white! the gas lift is very practical too. highly recommended!
This absolutely does not look like a 700 dollar bed. It's definitely a bargain considering the quality is outstanding and the design is just beautiful. It's very much my style and white is a real clean colour. Plus the gas lift is a definite bonus…everything I don't use on a regular basis is stored in there. I really think I got a good deal for this bed.
i like the design and the gas lift feature is definitely a plus but i was hoping i could get it in another colour so it will match with the rest of my room. george from bedworks at stanmore showed me the choices i had if i wanted my bed frame customised. hes a very accommodating fellow. he understood my design preference and listens well. the bed frame without customising it is very affordable and im happy i added those extra bucks to get it in the colour i wanted because it really looks great in my room.

text: CHATSWORTH, Calif., Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- US Seismic Systems, Inc., an Acorn Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACFN) company, today announced that it continues to advance in the evaluation of its products by a supermajor oil company and that it has received orders for the next phase of the evaluation. These orders are related to the customer's continuing assessment of USSI's products as a result of USSI's participation in a five-company, competitive down-hole seismic sensor technology field trial hosted by the supermajor earlier this summer. The terms of the new orders for cabling, deployment systems and field service expenses are confidential. "As we mentioned in our annual shareholder update, we were selected to advance in this important seismic shootout. As part of its continuing evaluation, we understand that the customer focused on validating the key features that set us apart from the competition, namely, performance at substantially higher frequencies and long term operation in a high temperature downhole environment. We further understand that our high frequency performance was verified via downhole testing by the supermajor last month and we have been told that our system performed even better than our published specifications. We are now moving on to what we believe will be a final qualification or "cook test" that will verify our claims, based on laboratory data, that our products have the inherent high temperature and pressure performance needed for long term deployment in a deep high temperature oil well" stated Jim Andersen, President and CEO of USSI. "We feel very fortunate to have such a large and influential company devoting their people and resources to working with us to advance our technology. In the short time since the shootout, we are experiencing an increasing level of serious interest in our revolutionary fiber optic sensor technology by the mainstream of the oil industry. We anticipate that success at this next stage with the supermajor could lead to one or more orders for longer term evaluation in active fields," added Andersen.

Tummy tuck on overweight people
You will have a better result with fewer chances of complications if you can lose weight first. For someone of your height and weight to active a BMI of 30 you would have to lose 50 lbs. If that is not going to be possible for you, you can still have a tummy tuck and liposuction but you have to have realistic expectations, and see a surgeon who has operated on people of your size with good results. Good luck.
Is weight loss before a Tummy tuck absolutely necessary?
While a tummy tuck and liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, you may still benefit from having the procedure. Many women have loose skin and unwanted bulges that, when treated with a tummy tuck and liposuction, will help their clothes to fit better and give them a smoother contour. It may be beneficial from an overall health perspective, such as lowering blood pressure, reducing diabetes and joint disease risks, to lose weight and if you are able to do so before surgery, that would be ideal. However, many patients find that after having a contouring procedure such as a tummy tuck, it motivates them to drop some weight which can have the benefit of both enhancing their result as well as their overall health. Talk to your surgeon about your expectations and his philosophy and you will be able to come up with a plan that you are both comfortable to help you safely achieve the best results.
Best of luck!

"The goal is not an academic exercise, but to marshal scientific evidence as a lever for policy change — aiming toward practical uptake among policymakers and stakeholders in countries".
WHO Director-General LEE
Jong-Wook's address to the
World Health Assembly, May 2004
What good does it do to treat people's illnesses ...
…then send them back to the conditions that made them sick?
Michael Marmot, Chair
20 members (volunteers)
Small Secretariat in Geneva
Smaller scientific team around Marmot in London.
Meetings in-person 3-4 times per year.
Pillars of work:

ECD-KN: Starting Points
ECD means: physical, social/emotional, language/cognitive development
Biological Embedding--environments get under the skin
Determinants of ECD are found from the intimate level (family) to the broadest level (global)
These determinants matter according to how they influence the transactional and nurturant qualities of the child's intimate environment
"Pre-school" years
School years
Peer social skills
Habitual ways of responding

Overarching Messages
2.Because of sensitive periods in brain development, early environments are the most powerful determinant of basic competencies.
3.Early development goes on to influence health, in different ways, across the life course.
4.Inequities in ECD have the capacity to threaten the level of competency needed for societal survival.
Key Political Messages
• parents/caregivers need support from community and government at all levels
• political leaders can play an important role in guaranteeing universal access to a range of ECD services
• child survival and health agendas are indivisible from ECD
What the Commission recommended
"Equity from the start"
What the Commission recommended
Commit to and implement a comprehensive
approach to early life, building on existing child survival programs and extending interventions in early life to include social/emotional and language/cognitive development.
What the Commission recommended
Governments build universal coverage of a
comprehensive package of quality early child
development programs and services for
children, mothers, and other caregivers, regardless of ability to pay.

How does it measure up?
What the ECD-KN Recommended
The World Health Organization's unique contribution to early child development globally
Generating the necessary commitment at multiple levels of society
Structural requirements for implementation
Strategies for implementation
Monitoring processes and outcomes related to ECD
Creation of a Global Alliance for Early Child Development
2. Generating Commitment
• bringing the 'science of ECD' to policy by all levels of government
• need to do social marketing to new audiences outside the usual ECD community
• 'Global Alliance' should disseminate science of ECD
• use commitment to UNCRC as dissemination tool
• need funding base to incorporate science of ECD into policy and monitor ECD provisions of UNCRC
3. Structural Requirements
• need for an inter-ministerial policy framework at the level of national government
• governments adopt child and family-friendly policies
• international community and governments to create inter-disciplinary opportunities for training and research in resource-poor countries
• government involvement of local communities
4. Strategies for Implementation
• gov't building ECD onto existing child survival and health platforms
• gov't needs strategy for 'scaling up' effective programs w/o sacrificing effective characteristics
• gov't to ensure free, compulsory access to school w/o gender inequities
• UNICEF -- create global formula for calculating ECD expenditure and 'return on investment' that works for poor countries
5. Monitoring
• expand evidence base in resource-poor countries
• gov't held accountable for universal birth registration
• local NGOs to monitor access to quality ECD services
• gov't/international agencies to fund monitoring of programs and ECD outcomes
What do we need in monitoring?
Population based outcome data to tell whether or not we are making progress.
2. Data relevant to all the sectors that have responsibility.
3. Linked data that can track developmental trajectories from birth to adulthood.

Skip to comments.Mandela aide: Lavish handouts are making Africa the 'spoilt child of the planet'
Posted on 05/27/2011 11:26:07 PM PDT by Niuhuru
Lavish aid to Africa is turning the continent into a spoilt child, according to the head of a charity backed by Nelson Mandela.
Mike Kendrick, founder of the respected Mineseeker Foundation, warned that aid often increased the hardship faced by the worlds poorest people.
In a devastating verdict, he told the Daily Mail last night: I sometimes use the analogy of a spoilt child. We have all seen rich parents give their child everything they need, without earning it.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Heck, it's probably protection money, since we're now vying with both the Chinese and Al Qaeda on that continent. The world is a freakin' mess.
This is the basic reason most leadership in Africa steals the money. So they can keep the citizenry from being "Spoilt."
"In a devastating verdict, he told the Daily Mail last night: I sometimes use the analogy of a spoilt child. We have all seen rich parents give their child everything they need, without earning it."
Or he could be speaking of about 48% of Americans.
If he were a white guy saying this concerning 'Africans' in the US, he would be called a racist.
That is coming to a screeching halt with the food production shortages hitting Asia, Russia and America. We feed Africa but with the weather, the purposeful flooding of farmland and our use of subsidized corn dedicated to fuel, those days of "spoiled Africa" are on the skids.
Foreign aid: The taking of money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries.
Thanks Niuhuru. Africa's people are not the spoiled ones, the corrupt despots who run everything are.
from 'Dark Star Safari' by Paul Theroux:
You know you are in Malawi when...
the first seven shops you pass are coffin-makers;
an old man on the road is wearing a fur-trimmed woman's pink housecoat from the 1950's;
the rear rack on a bike is stacked with ten uncured cow-hides;
a road-block is a bamboo pole across two barrels and the official manning it is wearing a T-shirt lettered 'Winnipeg Blue Bombers';
two policemen stop your minibus for no reason and at gunpoint force the fourteen passengers to pile out in the dark (and they looked at my passport for quite a long time);
the lovely smoothed tarred road abruptly becomes a rutted muddy track that is barely passable;
people start sentences with. 'But we are suffering, sir';
people say, apropos of nothing, 'The day the old woman disappears is when the hyena shits gray hair';
on the day the Minister of Finance announces his National Austerity Plan, it is revealed that thirty-eight Mercedes-Benzes have just been ordered from Germany....

Chorus of Fusion
In this hostage tableau of control, for a moment all was still, London clenching at Alastor's mighty hand, Anna's mouth dropped in sheer horror and Autumn, smirking.
"You shouldn't have done that." Autumn begun to move.
Autumn's body faded, a translucent aura taking her place in a glassy casing, she swept up in the air gracefully, and spun backwards, her toes just brushing Alastor's chin. Caught, mainly by surprise as oppose to power, Alastor was knocked back a step, his grip on London's neck releasing, letting him drop.
London fell to his knees gasping for air, Anna came to his side, asking if he was injured, her quirky half smile positioning itself in a caring-but-still-not-getting-too-close-to-you kind of way.
Autumn reformed into an opaque image. Alastor glared at the young 5" asian girl, stunned.
"Who... who are you?" he asked.
"The wrong people to mess with I should imagine... I think you..." before she had finished her sentence, Alastor was charging at her. Autumn begun to shake, tremulous in the wind, the particles in her body spread into her ghostly form and Alastor crashed to the ground behind her. " ... now... don't you feel silly?"
The sun was steadily rising above the quad of misfits, a dry wind spread dust through the day, the sky transformed into a whirlpool sea of colours, dispersing their unnatural looking nimbus with a diffused light of indigo.
Alastor rose to his feet once more, his grimace, darker than before.
"I suggest you give up, you can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you, we're at a stalemate, I think you'll find..." Autumn calmly approached him, still in a mist of forms.

As of fall 2015, Motek will be held in the two currently equivalent rows of halls, namely 3, 5, 7 and 9 as well as 4, 6 and 8, and later 10 (option as of 2018)!
And thus exhibition floor space will now increase for Motek from 677,000 to 791,000 square feet. At the same time, visitor flow will be reorganised thanks to using the west entrance and optimisation of access to hall 9, and finally by retaining the east entrance, from which exhibitors as well as visitors will profit in the end.

The Great Escape
For our last evening we had a little stroll around the village and Jayne bought some knick knackeries for the folks back home. As the local scran hadn't come up to scratch we decided on some Chinese food. We ended up in an authentic restaurant called Hong Kong 97, strange name but there you go. The food was very good, probably too good as it wasn't of the Egg Foo Yung variety you get back in Blighty, this stuff was proper Cantonese/Hong Kong cuisine and we ...
... we'd turn back straight away. I told her it would be fine. I don't think it was that bad, the thing that made it look worse were the swells. It's the Atlantic so when it gets churned up you'll know about it. The swells were between 10 to 15 foot and when we headed into the wind you knew about it. I'd say there was a force 6 blowing, ...
... There was a quiz going on and the winning team was ably assisted by Jayne & myself. They won hands down but didn't give us any credit for it or any of the Champagne that they won. Lesson learnt, knowledge is something best kept to yourself. We finished the night off with a couple of glasses of vino collapso on the balcony as the deluge had finally stopped. Tomorrow we were going to try and get out for some jolly japes on the high seas.

So, has anyone famous lived here? Well the most famous former resident was none other than Francisco Franco & from here in 1936 his plottings led to the Spanish Civil War. I havent seen any memorials to him here, so I guess the locals are not too fussed about him.
