I told you I would wait two hours for you to drive from Eugene to buy the skateboard deck I posted on Craigslist. When you had trouble finding my house I tried talking you through instructions over the phone, but instead you drove aimlessly while getting through the epilogue of your life story. When you finally made it to my house, rather than making a simple transaction to carried on a mixed monologue about a car you totalled and all of the hangups of dealing with insurance adjusters. Instead of appropriate haggling, you attempted to barter with sodas and bottled water you found in your car. When you finally did decide to buy the skateboard you did so by counting out quarters into my open hands, 100 quarters. Then you had the audacity to ask to come along to the indoor park with me. If I had charged myself minimum wage for this hassle, I more than lost money. Thanks.

text: I am not sure where to post this question so I hope it fits. I will be copying paintings from books to use as reference. My equipment will include a Nikon F90X with 50mm and 38-75mm Nikkor lenses, a Manfrotto tripod (055Pro of which the middle column can be set horizontally) with a three level head and a neutral tone slide film. I never done this before, I know it is not easy so I need some advice. What slide film should I use? Can you suggest a couple, because I am not sure what can I find around in my photographic equipment desert? I don't have proper neutral-color lights and it will be really difficult to find the appropriate filter (plus it would take a while to be delivered) so I think I'll just use sunlight out in the garden. Anything else?

Nu-soul singer Erykah Badu says about flutist Dwayne Kerr, "As I watch my friend in amazement, the high tones and the trills become part of me, helping me to grow on stage. I don't know which is sweeter, his tone or his soul."
Who is this man that has made such an impression on Erykah Badu you might be asking yourself? He is actually a very humble person raised in Central Islip, Long Island, family-oriented, and earnestly inspired by passages from the Bible. As a flutist he expresses, "My main goal is to let people see that the flute can be a lead instrument and should be included with the saxophone, guitar, and piano. That my music will touch people's hearts and be a place to escape if only for an hour or whatever."
Dwayne Kerr's latest album Higher Calling released by Dmanns Music Group features the penetrating vocals of Erykah Badu and the emotive saxophone twirls of Kirk Whalum. Kerr credits his friend Whalum for convincing him to push forward with his solo work, "Some years ago I was considering leaving the business," he reveals, "and Kirk encouraged me to pursue my career. A couple of years later, I was playing for Erykah Badu and getting to tour the world and experience all kinds of things musically and socially, so it was very important for me to have Kirk involved with the project. I think our musical dialogue on 'Being With You' is great. The musical exchange that takes place during the song, oftentimes, is reminiscent of a call and response type of thing between the flute and sax."
Kerr describes about his attachment to the flute, "It's true that the flute register is higher than the sax, but honestly I prefer playing in the flutes mid-to-low register as opposed to the higher register. That's one of the reasons why I started playing the alto flute. The lower register on the flute has a dark rich sound which I find to be more natural when expressing myself."
He explains that unlike his debut album Flutation in 2001, his new album Higher Calling would take the listener on a musical ride that goes beyond just hearing the flute and integrate the flute with other instruments in a harmonious way. Kerr shows strong diplomatic skills in his recordings which allows everyone to shine.
"When I set out to record Higher Calling, as opposed to Flutation, my main focus was to make a feel good record not a really good flute CD, but a record that just felt good to listen to. That was my main goal and the flute happens to be the instrument I play."
He remarks, "Higher Calling musically was really about setting up that vibe as a vehicle for the flute to ride on so that Dwayne the Flutist could stretch out. The title Higher Calling was intentional. The inspiration actually comes from several verses in the Bible (Philippians 3-13-15). The chapter talks about what God has done for mankind and that we need to live in light of those things, not looking back to the past of our lives but to the future God has for each one of us. I used that as my inspiration musically to push ahead in starting and completing the CD Higher Calling."
Erykah Badu who sings on "Ain't No Sunshine" from Higher Calling, turns the tables on Kerr who is now placed in the driver's seat. "It was so cool working with Erykah on my project," he glows. "She made me feel very comfortable in the studio. The first thing she said to me in the studio before we got started was 'You're the boss, just tell me what you need me to do.' That really set the tone of the session for me. From that point on it was easy. As far as the evolving of the song, I actually recorded and finished laying all the flute parts on 'Ain't No Sunshine' with Erykah's vocals in mind a year prior to Erykah singing on the track. Working with Erykah for the past nine years on stage and in the studio gave me a pretty good idea of how I thought she would approach the vocals and interact with my flute. When recording my flute parts, I would imagine Erykah singing along with me."
He tells, "95% of Higher Calling was recorded at Persico Recording Studios in Queens, New York, the rest at Icon Studios in California. I was trying to keep a consistent sound throughout the CD. Some of the other collaborations on the project are the producers Hubert Eaves IV, Jeff Feinstein, Matt Marshak and R.C. Williams. They helped me define and shape my sound. Most of the CD is mid to up tempos, what I call feel good or riding music. The melodies for the most part are short catchy melodies. Something you would whistle or hum to yourself."
Kerr hopes to go on tour for Higher Calling with these musicians as he promptly adds, "I'm hoping Higher Calling will be well received and give me an opportunity to tour." He presents, "Basically the guys playing on the CD make up 'The Funky Flute Band.' I love their sound and I think it will be the best of both worlds to get to perform live with the guys who helped me record Higher Calling."
Before Dwayne Kerr became a world traveler and an acclaimed solo artist, he was a young man growing up on Long Island. "I grew up in Central Islip on Long Island, New York. I wouldn't say I'm attached to my hometown, however, I do love Long Island," he proclaims. For the release of his debut album Flutation, Dwayne Kerr played a short in-store concert and signed autographs afterwards at Tower Records which was located in Carle Place, Long Island.
"I had a pretty normal childhood growing up on Long Island," he elicits. "I was afforded certain things as far as various music programs that were provided in the school system throughout my school years. Like most places you would find out about the Jazz heads, you know people who are into jazz music. One of my early influences would be International Art of Jazz (IAJ). They ran jazz workshops and clinic's on Long Island and my long-time mentor Mr. Ranny Reeves a piano teach and composer."
His interest in jazz music began with his parents influence. "My father introduced me to Bobbi Humphrey, Herbie Mann and of course Hubert Laws. I grew up mainly listening to those three as far as flutists go. My role models were always people I knew - my Mom, Dad, and my Nana (grandmother). Definitely, people whose lives directly touched mine." He shares, "Actually both my parents played instruments growing up. My Dad played the violin growing up but he stopped after a while because it wasn't his first instrument of choice. My Mom on the other hand was a music major in college (in piano) for a time before she realized that she had a bad case of stage fright."
Kerr attended Nassau Community College, SUNY at Stony Brook and SUNY in Old Westbury where he was trained in classical jazz. He briefs about his background, "I started playing the flute around 10 years old and I mostly took the typical band lessons on flute throughout school until about my senior year in high school. During that time, I studied piano, drums, and a little guitar on and off through my junior high school years."
The music he played then he says was "much of what you commonly hear from other musicians. I did the home show/concert thing for my friends and family. Of course, I played in the school band but I also played in many different music bands growing up. Mostly doing covers of other people's music and as I got older some originals. Mostly, I played along with my Bobbi Humphrey, Herbie Mann, Hubert Laws and George Benson albums along with countless others."
He experienced an international audience for the first time when he was chosen to be a flutist for the orchestra that performed at the 1996 Olympic Games held in Atlanta, Georgia. He recalls, "I was contacted by my cousin, Monica Taylor about playing for a wedding. We hadn't spoken in a while so we started catching up, next thing I know she's telling me about being involved with the Olympics so I sent my press kit to her and she forwarded it to a committee. Next thing I know I'm making arrangements to fly down to the Olympics. What can I say, the whole experience was great from flying down there to the rehearsals for the show and the performance which was in the athlete's village, a private performance for them. It was a very special time for me as a person and a musician."
Two years later, Kerr was playing in Erykah Badu's band. He recounts, "My friend (and engineer) Gordon Mack III who mixed Higher Calling was doing sound for Erykah when he called me one day out of the blue and said 'Erykah is looking for a horn player. Come down to rehearsal and let her hear you.' That was nine years ago and I've been with her since then. There's so much to learn and in fact I'm still learning. I think one of the most important things is allowing the musicians you work with to add or be able to contribute to your sound. Ultimately, music is about coming together collectively to create something that is hopefully better than the individuals. Anyway, that's how I see it."
Kerr also played on Badu's remake of Chaka Khan's single "Hollywood" for Spike Lee's movie Bamboozled. He recollects, "I was concerned about pleasing Erykah because she was the one involved with the production. The way I see it when you're working for an artist or whoever, your first concern should be tying to get the sound that they're looking for. If I can do that then I'm satisfied because it's really not about me as a flutist or artist. It's about the project and complimenting what's going on in the production. It can vary depending on who has hired you and what their looking for on the project."
While in Erykah Badu's band, Kerr had the opportunity to go on her world tours and play to thousands of people. It is when he discovered that it all felt very natural for him to be on stage and to entertain people. "I can't say that I've ever been nervous or concerned about their reaction. I find that people in other countries are generally a little more open to different styles or genres of music than in the States." He remembers, "The concerts are pretty much the same wherever we perform. I am inspired after visiting different countries and being exposed to different cultures and music."
He asserts, "I've pretty much have had a desire to record my own projects from the time my father turned me on to Bobbi Humphrey, Herbie Mann, and Hubert Laws. I wanted to be able to make my own music and hopefully be able to touch someone the way I had been touched through their music."
He acknowledges the differences between being a sideman and being a frontman are manifold, but these adjustments are natural for him as he relishes being the diplomatic and making certain that everyone plays a role in his recordings. He notes about being a sideman, "The difference is the spotlight isn't always on you and the burden or weight of the show doesn't fall on you. You're just one of the pieces that make it go. When I'm the frontman or lead artist for my shows, I am much more animated and colorful not just as the artist but as a person. People want to be able to connect with you and share in the experience of the show. As the front man, you have the opportunity to share that with the audience."
Kerr has paved his own way as a solo artist and as a jazz flutist. He has taken an instrument that only has a handful of recognizable musicians behind it and made it into an instrument that has the ability to touch people's hearts. He followed what he believed and offers the same advice to young artists as he provides, "My advice to aspiring artists getting started in the music profession would be to learn everything that you can about the profession, not only your horn but all of the different areas that are related to it - marketing, promotion, radio, etc. And the other thing is to be true to yourself and your music."
Dwayne Kerr shows that working in earnest brings the right people into your path and being a diplomat produces the best product that you are capable of putting out. It works for him and comes to him as naturally as the eight phases of the moon.

Gadsden police say they can release no details about an ongoing investigation apparently centered around evidence found in an East Gadsden apartment.
Gadsden police say they can release no details about an ongoing investigation apparently centered around evidence found in an East Gadsden apartment.
However, members of the Etowah County Rescue Squad were called in by Marine Police on Monday afternoon to search the water behind Forest River Apartments in relation to a missing person, Mike Bettus of the squad said.
Gadsden police had blocked Davis Street in East Gadsden on Monday night and would not comment on whether their presence there had anything to do with the situation at the apartment complex.
However, some of the same investigators at the scene at Forest River were at the Davis Street location. Investigators began work there about 7:30 p.m.
Gadsden Police were on the scene Monday morning, with crime scene tape blocking off access to an upstairs apartment in Building C at Forest River.
Sgt. Patrick Chumley said there is an investigation, but as of Monday afternoon, police were not confirming it as a crime. Chumley said officers were working at a scene, but said he could not specify if it was an incident scene or a crime scene.
Action at the scene indicated the incident was being treated as a crime, with the mobile crime unit on the scene, as investigators moved in and out of the apartment and the surrounding area. Detectives from Gadsden's Crimes Against Persons division were on the scene, along with property crimes investigators.
Neighbors said the apartment was home to a man and woman, and they believed officers had found evidence of a violent crime there.
Marine Police believed they spotted something on sonar in the area, Bettus said, which led to the Rescue Squad being called in.
Bettus said one squad diver went in the water but found nothing, while another walked the shoreline in the shallow water search. He found nothing, either.
Several other squad members were involved in the operation.
Bettus said the search began about 1:30 p.m. and continued until about 4:30 p.m., when it was called off because of weather. He said he didn't know if Marine Police would call the squad back out to continue the search Tuesday.

Unfortunately, in some cases, as in the TimeVar.hs example, the initialization phase is a bit more complex - here I also spawn a new thread. But of course it would be a nice thing for the remaining 95% of cases. Speaking about the whole thing of nested atomically blocks, now that I know how to work around it, I can live with it. > I've also added a SourceForge bug to remind us to fail more tidily if > you do atomically inside atomically. Great! I have an idea going a bit further, but hopefully still quite easy to implement. But I am not sure that it would be a sane thing to do: On each "atomically" check if the current thread is already inside "atomically". If so, then instead of rising an exception we could spawn a new thread to perform the "atomically" block. The result/exception would be propagated to the original thread on a traditional MVar. I think it could be implemented mostly in Haskell. The only missing thing is an IO-primitive: isInAtomicallyBlock :: IO Bool But I fear that doing it this way could introduce a race condition. Best regards Tomasz -- I am searching for a programmer who is good at least in some of [Haskell, ML, C++, Linux, FreeBSD, math] for work in Warsaw, Poland

Teaching my german shep to "surf". She will be frightful at gooch's tomorrow. She has so far successfully ridden two waves. The pups do prefer to swim out and just linger around us in smaller longboardy 1-2' stuff that breaks at about waist/thigh high, and when they get tired they rest their chins on the board.

Its especially awesome when your dog drinks too much ocean water, and then pukes all night on your rugs. Good times last night She doesn't seem to want to learn that ocean water is not for drinking!
Just when I start to think my dog is intelligent...
This is Kunu, his mainland name is Chuck. He likes noseriding and chasing tail (mostly his own)
I want to thank everyone for posting pictures of your dogs. That's very good.
Y'all remember this: Dogs are brothers. They are brother dogs. Always remember that they are the best. They are better than your stupid wives and they are better than your stupid kids. Y'all just remember that. Always be good to brother dogs.
Your dog ain't going to get all angry at you like Dlouren gets angry at me....oh and Brewengineer he gets angry too. Dogs, man, they don't get angry. They're brother dogs.
Do NOT circumsize your dog's *****, and you sickos with the peanut butter need to cut that out. Don't they have prostitutes in Oak Island, NC? A dog is NOT a prostitute. They're brother dogs.
Yo dog, here is my home dog rogue or you could call her by her real name, majestic mac daddy lovin woof dog.

+1 For brother dogs
+1 for dogs.
There's not a more noble creature walking the earth. Unconditional love, and willing to lay down their lives for the people they love. Cant ask more than that.
As the saying goes... "The more people I meet, the more I love my dog" hehe

Lucius Parr
We Got a Problem
Lucius Parr's name often gets unfairly overlooked when the Valley's premier blues artists are listed, but anyone who's caught his tight combo knows that his talent is undeniable. Parr has first-rate credentials. He and his brother Lamar absorbed the blues as young kids in Texas, and took particular inspiration from their cousin, the late, legendary Albert Collins.
Parr's sound falls into the cracks between standard 12-bar blues and vintage soul music. It's a horn-driven uptown blues that shares much with the work of Robert Cray. On We Got a Problem, Parr's third CD, the guitarist-vocalist seems to find the perfect balance between his various influences.
The album opener, "Don't Talk to Me," is a funky, Stax-inspired dance tune that's a dead ringer for mid-'80s Cray. Parr's intuitive command of the form helps him avoid the slickness that sucks the life out of so many similar records. His snaky, single-note leads are always economical, serving the songs rather than overtaking them. His melodic runs on the ballad "You Put a Spell on Me" are particularly gorgeous.
The album's most infectious tune is the propulsive "You Ain't All That," a rave-up with a verse melody strongly reminiscent of the Marvin Gaye classic "Hitch Hike." Like many of the songs on the album, "You Ain't All That" is a musical wake-up call to a deceitful woman who's trying to take Lucius for a ride. Playing the man done wrong allows Parr, like Cray before him, to find a modern context for the blues, without falling back on the kind of sexual boasting that inevitably sounds anachronistic on the eve of the 21st century.
We Got a Problem is a well-crafted example of Parr's effortless eclecticism, which shows equal influence from Sam Cooke, Sam & Dave, and the great urban blues masters.

Phil & The Frantics
Phil & The Frantics
(Dionysus Records)
A few years back, during an interview segment for a history of rock 'n' roll TV series, Tom Petty offered his theory on what makes his chosen genre special: "It's rock 'n' roll. It's not supposed to be really good." It's a notion eloquently expressed many times by the late Lester Bangs, who could convince you that the unenlightened trashiness of a band like the Count Five was somehow more satisfying than the work of rock's big-name artists.
It's a debatable viewpoint, but one that's given credence by collections like the wonderful garage-punk series Nuggets. What comes through on Nuggets is not only the innocence of primitive one-shot kids, but also a certain time-capsule purity that the major artists tend to transcend. The garage bands tend to pick up all the prevailing trends of the time and combine them in a way that makes you zero in on the year it was recorded, while icons like Bob Dylan or The Beatles were so distinctive, in a way they are less useful ambassadors for an era.
Phil & The Frantics never even made a sufficient national splash to earn a place on Nuggets, but this 16-track compilation argues that the Phoenix band was a better-than-average pop group during a time period (1964-66) when pop was going through some of its most exciting changes.
It would be a stretch to claim that the band was particularly original. With their spooky organ (played by 14-year-old Rick Rose), they were almost unavoidably indebted to the Zombies. In fact, the band's closest brush with national success, the single "I Must Run," is a virtual rewrite of the Zombies' "I Must Move," right down to its somber mood and lugubrious tempo. "Till You Get What You Want" is fairly similar, albeit with a melody akin to The Beatles' as-yet-unreleased "It's Only Love."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The weakest part of the collection comes with the band's attempts at covers. Lead singer Phil Kelsey is able to get pretty gritty on a cover of Gary U.S. Bonds' "New Orleans," but the band's attempt at the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time" is hopelessly rinky-dink next to the Stones' original. A stab at Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" finds the band out of its element, with predictably tepid results.
Unlike many of the bands of that period, who didn't have a clue about how to adjust to pop's new demands for self-contained bands who wrote their own songs, Phil & The Frantics were actually most successful--artistically and otherwise--with their own material. "What's Happening" is a roughhewn country stomp with the obligatory Dylanesque harmonica. The moody "Say What You Will" takes Rose's Zombies organ sound and pushes it into a punky, uniquely American realm. Most impressive is "Till You Get What You Want," which--as the informative sleeve notes by local music historian John Dixon point out--shoots for the expansiveness of Phil Spector, and applies an irresistible Farfisa touch that strongly resembles, but actually predates, ? and the Mysterians' monumental single "96 Tears."
Not even Phil & The Frantics' most loyal fans could make a case for them as one of rock's major bands, but they're a huge piece of the puzzle that is Phoenix's music history, and further proof that the true story of rock resides in the cut-out bins.

In the ever-growing subgenre of smooth jazz, it's always so very invigorating and encouraging to happen upon a group such as Washington, DC's own Collaboration, a band founded by drummer Kenneth Dickerson and saxophonist Tracey Cutler and comprised entirely of teachers and school administrators. Here's a very polished group of musicians that has a firm handle on the essence of contemporary jazz in a way that is instantly obvious with Because of You.
Collaboration, whose influences include such luminaries as Billy Preston, Joe Sample, Wes Montgomery and Marcus Miller, just to name a few, has shared the stage with the likes of Peabo Bryson, the Manhattans, Pieces of a Dream, Betty Carter, Lee Ritenour, Stanley Turrentine, War, Layla Hathaway, Norman Brown and the late, great Phyllis Hyman. They have wowed crowds at the Lou Rawls Parade of Stars, the Democratic National Convention, the 1997 Presidential Inaugural Ball, the National Urban League, the Capital City Jazz Festival, The Jazz Company at Walt Disney World and the Darryl Green Youth Life Foundation Gala. The group has also been featured on BET's BET On Jazz Series as an up and coming new talent. Quite the resume, to say the least.
Tunes of note, and there are many, include "My Funny Valentine," which is a tight piece with very deliberate and polished vocals by one Lori Williams, whose intonations and style can easily remind one of Anita Baker. "The Colors of Fall" has that soft and unimposing, unassuming Caribbean touch. The piano and sax have flair that shapes and drives the smooth, moderate tempo of the tune very nicely. Yes, its title is very telling as the tune is ideal for walking in the park through leaves strewn all about during a cool fall afternoon. "In Walked 'He' boasts a very solid backbeat and superior upfront sax work. The guitar solo also offers careful, well-conceived riffs without being "too much" or selfish. The title cut is a very romantic caress whose intention is obviously to set that mood that seems to whisper, "Sweetheart, for the moment, for this moment, everything is perfect with us." You'll find that same caress in "In Your Sexy Kind of Way." This group does well in that "lovers' light."
Should one wish to deviate from the soft and mellow, try on the group's rendition of the classic "Summertime." Very upbeat, rhythmic and "electric." Here again, we're treated to the seductive vocals of Lori Williams. Another beauty is "Just Friends," with its Kim Waters/Walter Beasley "Let's just love love" feel. The finale "Spiritual Union" is simply a collection of pure, aural enticements. It's magnetic and soft "sway" provides just the peacefulness for which all spirits undoubtedly yearn at some point.
Because of You is music for lovers, without question. Of course, someone who just wants to be softly caressed into oblivion by soothing, quality jazz will welcome this gem as well. Collaboration. The name works well for a group that obviously believes in working together to achieve the melodic experience witnessed here. Another must-have album for serious smooth jazz aficionados. The album was released in 2003 and the group is currently working on its follow-up offering, to be released in June, 2008. I strongly suspect that it will prove to have been well worth the wait.

Allow users to submit a Post via a webform
The site I am working on is a site that I want anyone to be able to submit a post to. Specifically, I want them to be able to submit an image, some text to go with it and a hyperlink to the site they found the image on. I actually want the picture to be auto resized and some other things, but that will come later. What I am looking for is some kind of plugin that will allow them to fill it out and submit the post, I don't really want to approve them if I can help it, but that is doable too if necessary. Is there anything out there that will accomplish this? Ideally, I want the poster to be able to browse their PC for the image, or just enter the link to the image into the form and just have it displayed with their post. Any ideas on this one?

I thought it would be nice for you to get to know my little family, so I decided I would share with you our favorite book, Comment j'ai sauvé mon papa by Hervé Tullet. We've had this book for 2 years now, and it has travelled with us, been slept with, and even stepped on. It's a lovely little story about how a little boy goes about to help his dad get out of a funk, with many different ways until one day he has a great idea and saves the day! It's a simple book with little text (although I like to add my own personal text and sound effects) and simple illustrations — just the way we like it and no matter how many times we've read it we just never get tired of it, the ending is just too good!
Unfortunately, the book has only been published in French, but lucky me my kids only speak French! However, I only recently discovered that the author Hervé Tullet is quite popular and that a few of his books are available in many different languages (Esther wrote about The Game of Finger Worms a few weeks ago). Now I have got to get my hands on his latest book Press Here — this unique book about the power of the imagination and interactivity looks like fun for the whole family!
We have been reading the press here book since my child is 20 months old. he still loves it at nearly age 3! great fun (and educational) way to spend time waiting for something too!
Thanks Anais, I feel like his books have no age and are timeless. I really hope I can find the book this weekend, fingers crossedXX
Welcome Celina! I'm looking forward to your posts. I completely agree that Herve Tullet is a great choice for kids. We have 'The Book with a Hole' and it's a favourite at our house. I don't know if you've seen Tullet's collaboration with Djeco toys yet, but it's AMAZING! We recently got his box of shapes 'Creat – Ik' and the kids are obsessed.
Hello Pam, thanks for the welcome and fir for the tip… Djeco and Herve Tullet, what a duo! I'll have to see if I can find it, we don't always get all of the European products here in Montreal!
I'm guessing a 'funk' is what we might call a 'muddle'??? Love the sound of the Daddy book. My 5 year old has just started learning French at school – do you think a mummy with school French could manage to read it out loud without sounding too ridiculous (and maybe even figure out what's going on?)
The dad is feeling a little down and needs some cheering up! I think the book is pretty simple and the images are self explanatory, it's about simple concepts like going to the park or swimming. Now I'm not sure how much French you learnt in school, but if you ever get the book and find it complicated, I'll gladly help you translate it!

Tough new guidelines set for foster carers
Children in care are to be given more educational support
Tough new vetting procedures are to be introduced for foster carers in an effort to cut down on child abuse.
These aim to modernise and improve the service offered to children and carers.
The code of practice includes rigorous checks and competency assessments on carers.
It is not compulsory, but any local authority which goes against it will have to justify its reasons.
It says authorities should be very careful when recruiting foster carers and should avoid advertising on the internet because paedophiles are known to use it.
Authorities are warned that paedophiles are manipulative and can go to great lengths to get close to children.
From 2001, assessments of foster carers should include police checks on all people over age 10 in the foster household.
Adults will have to account for all time since leaving school and for all their addresses.
Foster carers will be asked about their views of discipline and sexual attitudes.
The national standards for foster care are aimed to give more support to children and foster carers.
They are published in England first and will go nationwide in the next months. They follow the 1997 Utting report on looked after children.
Experts say carers face an increasingly difficult job because of the reduction in the number of children now placed in care homes.
It is estimated that 68,000 children in the UK are in public care, with two-thirds in foster care.
Many are older children or teenagers and have behavioural problems. They may be traumatised, angry or confused.
Good practice
The code of practice and standards have been drawn up by the UK Joint Working Party on Foster Care which includes social services representatives, academics, children's organisations and foster carers and have been the subject of widespread consultation.
Under them, foster carers are to get better preparation and training with ongoing support and supervision from a qualified social worker.
This will be backed by a Ł6m government investment over the next three years.
Carers will also receive an annual review and will be given an allowance and expenses which cover "the full cost of caring for each child or young person placed with them".
Children in care will be given better support to ensure they get the best out of education.
Last week, Education Secretary David Blunkett announced new guidance on children in care.
He said three in four children in care leave formal education with no qualifications, compared with only 6% of the general population.
The working party recommends that children's needs be assessed before they are placed with foster carers so they are properly catered for instead of being rushed into emergency placements.
It also proposes that young people be kept in touch with their birth families and be given preparation for adult life and follow-up support after they leave care for as long as is necessary.
Local authorities will be expected to ensure all staff working in fostering services are qualified and trained to work with children and foster carers.
It also recommends that the complaint system be made easier and quicker for foster carers and children.
Tom White, chair of the working party, said: "Although considerable altruism still exists among foster carers, we cannot go on relying on their goodwill.
"The importance of their task needs to be fully recognised, supported and encouraged."
Gerri McAndrew, director of the National Foster Care Association, which acted as a secretariat for the working party, welcomed the standards.
The British Agencies for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) said it was important foster care was being given a higher priority.
It called for a national and local recruitment drive, saying there was an urgent need for more suitable foster carers.
Felicity Collier, of the BAAF, said the provision of proper training and money to foster carers would go some way to attracting more people into the sector.
"We must value these people. We need to offer them sufficient resources. If the money is not provided to recompense and support them they will leave the local authority and go into private care agencies or do something else with their lives.
"This will mean more disruption for children who will have to make more moves and is a false economy."
She added that children who had had bad experiences in care were more likely to be unemployed, be homeless and have problems looking after their own children.
Children's charity Barnardo's said the government needed to back the standards with more money.
It said a high quality service could not be achieved "on the cheap".
But it welcomed the emphasis on increasing choice in foster placements.
It also called for the government to speed up the introduction of legislation on inspection and regulation of private foster agencies.

With registrations for children who will be attending kindergarten in September 2014 well underway, Halton Region, in partnership with Halton District School Board, the Halton Catholic District School Board and Ontario Early Years Centres, is offering parents the "Kindergarten: Ready, Set, Go!" online resource at www.haltonparents.ca.

Designed to help parents navigate their child's transition to school, the online resource provides parents with a variety of information, including checklists, growth and development milestones, activities, community supports, and more.

"While the transition to school can be an exciting time for families, it can also bring about many questions and concerns from parents," said Regional Chair Gary Carr. "This online tool provides parents with the information they need to help build their child's skills and confidence to get started on the right foot and succeed in school."

In Halton, according to the Our Kids Network Report Card based on Early Development Indicators, almost one in four five-year olds is not prepared for school. Halton Region and the partnering community organizations have pooled their expertise and resources to help change this statistic and ensure parents know what local resources and supports are available to them. It is part of the Region's ongoing commitment to support child and youth development, and work with the community to achieve the best possible health and wellbeing for all.

To view the "Kindergarten: Ready, Set, Go!" resource, visit www.haltonparents.ca

 For more information about kindergarten registration, please visit the school boards' websites: www.hdsb.ca or www.hcdsb.org

Anglicans split over election of lesbian bishop
The future of the worldwide Anglican Communion was in jeopardy last night after the Archbishop of Canterbury said that the election of a lesbian bishop in the United States raised "very serious questions".
Dr Rowan Williams added that the choice of Canon Mary Glasspool to be a suffragan bishop in Los Angeles had "important implications". The election of Canon Glasspool, who has lived with the same female partner since 1988, is the second appointment of an openly homosexual bishop in the US Episcopal Church. It confirmed fears among evangelicals in the Anglican Communion of more than 70 million people that crucial votes at last summer's General Convention of the Episcopal Church had in effect ended the moratorium on gay bishops.
Dr Williams said: "The election…

WARNING Don't buy from Aeroacemods.com
I read so many good things about the Airhogs Aero Ace bipe that I had to have one. I ordered it on line from Aeroacemods.com. One of the motors was weak right out of the box. It would not stay in the air for more than a few seconds. I tried tweaking and adjusting with no luck. One of the motors sounded sick. So I figured Aeroacemods.com company would make it right. WRONG... They will not even respond to any of my e-mails and phone calls. They do sell parts but I certainly hate replacing parts that were not right from the get go.. To my way of thinking, they are running a scam. Avoid this company! RCNutt
Good idea. I had thought of doing just that. But my town (Richmond, Indiana) has none of those stores. We had a Target but it went under. Walmart had some Airhogs products but no Aero Ace.I wish I could have bought one locally. It might have been different if I had flown the plane a couple of weeks before the motor or transistor or whatever went bad but I never got a single whole flight out of it. I had hoped the company was responsible. They are not! I might try and replace the bad transistor if it is possible. But no one has come forth to put on an enlarged picture. I haven't had the controller out of it so I may change my mind when I see how small things are. I have just learned an important lesson. Only deal with well known companies with a return policy that works! RCNutt
Surely there is a Wal-Mart nearby somehwere that has stock of the AA's. Forget Target or Toy's R Us as with no receipt they will not take ANY returns at all for any reason...Sorry to hear about the problem with this site though, as I had intended on ordering a new AA tail set from them...Guess that's out now...Good luck...
Even if you're Wal-Mart doesn't have the AA's in stock, you could still return it saying you got it at a different Wally's and they will just give you a gift card for the $30. They will simply return the bad AA to Air Hogss for their refund, and while you may not have an Aero Ace then, at least you would have your money back...Use that money on the new XPV by Jakks Pacific, now available at Walmart (I just bought one there myself)...
I almost did the same thing... no AAs down this way for ages.. looking in all the toy stores etc then I sent an enquiry to aeroacemods about using western union to get one.. they replied saying they'd look into it.. dunno. must have been too hard for them to goto the local newsagent to get the money and send overseas a package.. so I was never replied too
THANKFULLY weeks after I wondered into a little known toys R us store in the middle of an industrial estate here and asked.. .they didnt have any.. "but we have a biplane" which turned out to be an Xtwin
im on my 5th Xtwin now.. biplane, biplane.. eagle sports, fury avanti airliner, and finally again.. a biplane (after returning 2 defective monowings)
paydays coming soon. and I just might give them monowings a go..
moral of the story really should be that I think aeroacemods were set up to make a quick dollar and cashin on the aero ace/xtwin popularity.. there mods are overpriced too and ive seen alot of people not like them..
ive returned 3 Xtwins to my local toys R us.. and got my money back on 1 occasion.. and straight swapped the other 2 with NO fuss at all.. buying local might be a trip and a half to find or get to.. but in the long run. its the best for these little foam R/C things.. the quality control isnt the best and you dont want to be returning something hundreds or thousands of miles for a refund... which is exactly why however long it is.. im waiting for the piccoz/Gyrotor helicopters to come into australia and not buy from overseas..
anything else I would.. but these dime a dozen foam jobs i'd seriously only buy locally
Also, keep in mind that Spinmaster does have a warranty on these products. I've dealt with them, they are very friendly. (taking a few weeks to get a replacement, but hey . . )
Also, regarding the XPV (I know, slightly off subject. . )
I'd double check the specs before purchasing. It's 50 bux and has only (as I remember) forward / backward and left / right. Takeoff is acheived by getting up enough speed. Battery has to be purchased seperately, just like the storm laucher. For 30 extra dollars (Storm Launcher) you get an extra channel (up / down) and much more control. MHO, YMMV.
Personally, I'd rather buy 3 AA Bipes.
Err.. Mr. Topic creator, how about you think before you post? It isn't as if aeroacemods purposefully sends you the wrong plane. You can pick up a "dud" plane anywhere. How about you cool down and think about it before posting bad things about a website. I really hope you don't think aeroacemods.com goes through every box to send the one with the bad motor to you. Stop being so self centered.
Mr. Innocent:
What's the guy suppossed to do? He bought a defective product and apparently has no way to get it exchanged. Seems like a logical and perfectly sound gripe to me. Nobody said they purposely sent him a "dud", but the fact remains that is exactly what he got, and he has every right to expect a return or even exchange...If a place will not honor that basic customer service then I for one am glad to be warned away from them. You think he should be out the cash he spent on the defective AA just because they did not purposely sell him one in that condition? Last time I checked stores usually back up their products, unless they say all sales final, in which case I would never deal with them...I have a feeling you would feel a little different if you were the one who bought the bad plane and had no recourse to get another from the place you got it... Maybe it is you who should "think before you post"... Your post almost sounds as though you some affiliation with the Aeroacemods site...
I'm sorry if I sound like a complainer. They have had plenty of time to respond but did not.The fact is this company is just in it for the quick "Buck" I for one don't want to deal with any company that won't even RESPOND to e-mails or phone calls. They have no interest in modelers or flyers, just the "almighty" dollar. If they would have said no returns on their site then I could understand and I would just eat the loss. Even if they would have e-mailed me and said sorry no returns, I would have felt better about it then just being blown off. I have had such good luck ordering on line that I just wasn't worried. I did not notice the fact that they are operating out of a "suite".Until after I had ordered it. This should be a red flag to all. This warning isn't meant to sound like sour grapes but I just don't want anyone else to get burnt be these shysters! Thanx to all who wrote in. RCNutt
I recently spent about ~$150 with AAMods.. I recieved my product after about 2 weeks.. but they NEVER responded to a single email or voicemail when I was trying to find out where my order was. (2 weeks is too long!)
To this day, they STILL haven't responded and it's been about 4 weeks total now.... as I said in another thread, Customer Service is a LARGE part of running a business.. and AAMods doesn't have any customer service at all.. at least in my _experience_.
RCNUTT, This is Mac from aeroacemods.com. I am sorry that we have not responded to your email. We have had some technical issues that have been making it very difficult to track emails. We have now gone away from our automated email system and are back to a simple system that is allowing us to catch up the the 100+ emails that come in per week.
Lets take care of your plane. Do you have an order number or a last name (send it to me with a private message on this forum.)
All - We have shipped hundreds of AERO ACES to many satisfied customers. We have been busier than expected this summer and responding to all the emails is something that we are working on. I assure all of you that we are in it for the almighty buck (or we wouldn't be doing it), but we do want to provide a great product and service you can not get from Toys R Us or Wall mart.
We don't expect any of you to order from us, but we do expect you to be happy with your order! RCNUTT, Private message me and we can take care of a replacement or a refund. Sorry that we didn't get to this sooner.
Mac M.
Mac, Did you have technical issues with your Telephone system also? .. Or on the forums at RCUniverse? How about the voicemail that answers your telephone?

Thus if you created a series of Categories on the main blog and one of those was Scissors and was assigned Category ID# of 41, you could then create a sub blog that has no categories other than uncategorized, and if you added the category "Scissors" to this brand new subblog the plugin would somehow "check" with the main blog, notice that it was already there, and would then assign it a Category ID# of 41 as well.
The result was that when you checked the clone posts in the main blog which had be grabbed from the subblog, the categories would match.
I find this not to be so with WordPress 3.0 Multi Site.
If Scissors was Category #41 in the Main blog, and then you added it to the sub-blog at a later time, the sub blog might randomly assign it to category #8 or something.
At this point, when you check the clone post on the main blog, the category assigned would be whatever category #8 happened to be on the main blog…might be cat litter or something…but not scissors.
Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed in the future?

I think scalars or words would be most accurate for me. In my opinion, language is the basis for constructing reality and any word is a symbol for some unique property or aspect of the universe. Numbers work mostly the same for me. We assign a word based on our language to the number. That word serves as my brain's reference to that number and symbolizes an amount or a status.

This spring is a great time to turn around your lifestyle and to press the "reset" button to eliminate bad habits. Instead of focusing on the same goal to "lose weight," only to end up discouraged, why not shift the focus to make your family more active and healthy?
The best way to reinforce new goals is to have a reliable support system. As a parent, the approach can make or break good intentions. Encourage the idea of being healthy rather than being thin, and participate in the challenge with your kids.
More: Why Create a Healthy Family?
To ease the transition into the new adjustments, create mini goals each week, such as limiting television time to one hour a day.

Increasing Physical Activity
Kids enjoy being physically active with fun games and activities, like tag or playing jump rope.
More: Wallie Exercises: A Fun Way to Create Healthy Kids
An hour of physical activity daily is recommended, however, you can easily break up the time throughout the day. Try going for family walks after dinner or a bike ride instead of sitting down to watch the television.
Want to expand the imagination a bit? Have your child make up stories and act them out, or start an art project with them. Promote physical activity as a substitute for inactive habits. This can build a child's confidence and can open up their desire to be creative. While you can suggest sports for your child to partake in, it's ultimately their decision to pick what they are comfortable doing.
Nutritional Tips
The biggest challenge with children is how to incorporate the daily recommended amount of 5 to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables into dishes they'd like. Again, changing your approach to healthy foods can change your child's perspective.
More: 9 Ways to Create Healthy Eating Habits for Your Family
Take them grocery shopping and have them choose the produce. Some yummy snacks can include whole grain graham crackers with peanut butter, fresh fruit or pistachio nuts. Substitute coconut water flavored with real fruit juice for soda to cut back your child's sugar intake.
Something to keep in mind: try not to use treats to reward behaviors (such as finishing their plate of veggies) as this places more value on the treat rather than eating the food for nourishment.
With a positive perception and the right mindset, the health challenge encourages a well-rounded development for your child. Modifying behaviors early on will help cement habits that will carry over into adulthood.

Yes, it has been eight years since Pappa left the fickle-weathered city of Melbourne for the even colder and wetter dance music mecca that is London. While finding fame and fortune may have been part of his agenda, he obviously left 'warm and sunny climate' off the check-list for appropriate locations. Although I don't know too many world renowned DJs to have made a name for themselves in Hawaii, and with the recognition gained from being among the world's top dance music figures, Pappa can doubtlessly afford central heating and a couple of warm coats. Just this week Pappa once again was Australia's lone representative in DJ Mag's Top 100 Poll.
These days, however, Pappa finds himself an inter-continental traveler more often than living in his adopted home of the UK, his only chance of catching cold occurring between the airport, the hotel and the club. "I still am touring a lot and that's probably the reason for a lower production release schedule than I'd like," admits Pappa. "Friday I'm in Israel and Saturday Switzerland with North America the week after. So I'm always doing three or four gigs a week in different countries. When you come home for three or four days you just have time to get your bearings again and stock up on tunes before you head back overseas."
While it's obvious from his animated tone that despite a hectic schedule, he still finds touring far from monotonous, what makes his next foray more exciting than usual is that his sights are set on Melbourne and Sunny sixth birthday in particular. The prodigal son returns! "I'll be there on Friday November the 14th and I can't wait," says a delighted Pappa. "Finally to be back in Melbourne, playing a gig to the home crowd at an awesome party and playing some new tunes. I can't think of anything better. I'm in Italy the week before and Asia the week after so it is my only Australia gig. I'm just coming in to do the gig and it's my birthday as well. In fact I'll be turning thirty during the set."
There is something very fitting about Pappa being the special guest at Sunny's sixth birthday. Like Pappa, Sunny is known and respected throughout the world as one of progressive's finest institutions. And similarly to Pappa, Sunny has never bowed to commerciality and always held true to its ideals, ensuring the highest quality music and a legion of devoted fans. Although if you've never been to a Sunny or read much about it before this it isn't surprising as the monthly party, once known as SunnysideUp, will never be discovered through a street press advertisement or flyer. Word of mouth is the promotional tool of choice and has proven a most successful policy, ensuring that far from becoming elitist, the closest that Sunny has to a commandment is the founding principle of 'No attitude'. Aside from the people in attendance, or 'Sunnysiders' as you'll often find them referred to, it's Sunny's residents that turn it into a world class night of progressive pleasure. Phil K, Gab Oliver and Ozzie LA were there from the start in 1997 and continue to play a huge part. Since then, Gavin Keitel has been added to the residents list as Phil K finds more and more of his time spent overseas and in the production studio. Jono Fernandez and Ferris have been guests on a number of occasions and demonstrated the astonishing depth to Melbourne's DJ talent. Furthermore, a breaks room has been added with Keltec, Mangan and Lynt slotting in so perfectly that many a Sunnysider has wondered how the event was ever so good previous to its addition.
Pappa has never officially played at a Sunny, his fleeting experience being a spontaneous versus set with Phil K a few years ago. However, he has many great memories of Sunny. "It's different to a normal club and for good reason," explains Pappa. "The thing about Sunny is that the punters know that they won't hear the average big tunes, although Sunny has its own tunes the DJs there have made big. They're playing good music not aimed at the lowest common denominator. And the people who go there really appreciate it. It's a bit more purist, but it still rocks and goes off. From a DJs perspective, to be able to play at a night like that, where people are there for the music, always gives a better vibe and you know people are going to go with you a bit more. You still have to play to the dance floor and do your job, but you know that you can be a little more experimental and people give you the chance to do this. It means that as a punter it's going to be a different experience for you to appreciate."
Whether you've heard his mix compilations for Global Underground's 'Nubreed' series, Renaissance or Choo Choo, Pappa's name has always been synonymous with progressive house. Yet, as you'd expect from someone so passionate about music, far from being dedicated to one genre there is much in other styles he finds exciting. Pappa is optimistic about moves by other DJs linked to progressive such as Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Sander Kleinenberg and James Holden to broaden the sound on their recent compilations and in their sets. "It really needed to happen because the sound was becoming stale and people were becoming bored," Pappa admits. "Even the DJs playing the music want to take things to different levels and introduce new music. It's opened it up so much that you can actually do a lot more. The way Howells GU 24/7 goes from the first disc to the other is amazing."
While Pappa may be mixing a Global Underground CD next year as a well as a DVD, a more immediate aim is locally focused. "I'd really like to do a 'Balance' CD for Melbourne's EQ label," he reveals. "I love Phil K's release and have heard fantastic things about James Holden's. Okay, it's not going to be a Global Underground release that you see in every shop around the world. But it's a good quality local CD and it's what I believe in and where I'm going to come back to one day. 'Balance' a great concept in my own backyard rather than doing stuff abroad all the time. And EQ are a quality label both with their compilations and their 12" releases. I've been hammering LoStep's remix of "Free" by Scrambler'. That song was wicked before the remix anyway and I love the vocal. I've been finishing a lot of my sets off with that track."
Whether Pappa will end his four hour Melbourne set with this break-beat opus remains to be seen. However, it would be a fitting if the world class Melbourne born DJ closes with such an outstanding Melbourne-made production at the sixth birthday of Melbourne's internationally acclaimed progressive event. While break-beat has been a part of Pappa's repertoire for many years, his Global Underground Nubreed CD proof of this, breaks is playing a bigger part in his sets now than it ever did previously. And as with everything he does, he plays it with passion. Sometimes so much so that he turns DJing into an Xtreme sport! "Gilbey has done a break-beat remix of Alcatraz's "Give Me Love" for Yoshitoshi," begins Pappa with a chuckle. "It's fantastic and I was rocking to it, jumping up and down while playing at a gig in Greece. And the stage just went! It was made out of chipboard and I made a hole the size of a manhole and went straight through it onto the floor. It was only about a metre down so not too dangerous, but it would have been funny from the dance floor to see the DJ jumping up and down and then suddenly disappearing. I think I was going off to the track more than the people were. It was a CD so it didn't skip. Thank god for that!�

FA Cup: Robins salvage Riverside replay
A second-half fightback helped Bristol City earn a 2-2 draw to set up an FA Cup fourth-round replay at Middlesbrough.
Boro grabbed an early lead at Ashton Gate when Adriano Basso could only parry Stewart Downing's shot and Aiyegbeni Yakubu was on hand to fire in the rebound.
Malcolm Christie added a second for the Teessiders after 22 minutes, from James Morrison's pass. Richard Keogh pulled one back for the hosts in the 53rd minute and a fabulous strike from Scott Murray restored parity.
Blackburn were the first team to book their place in the last 16, with a comfortable 4-0 win over Luton in a lunchtime kick-off at Kenilworth Road.
Matt Derbyshire, this week awarded a new contract by Rovers boss Mark Hughes, opened the scoring with a cracking angled shot - and his header across goal set up a simple second for Benni McCarthy before half-time.
Derbyshire then headed in his second, and the scoring was wrapped up by a peach of a left-foot strike from Morten Gamst Pedersen.
Tottenham took their place in the fifth round with a 3-1 win over Southend at White Hart Lane. Robbie Keane's 12th-minute strike gave them early command and the second came when Jermaine Jenas turned in Aaron Lennon's cross from close range five minutes into the second half. Freddy Eastwood's penalty gave the Shrimpers hope but Mido added a third to kill them off.
Reading beat Championship side Birmingham 3-2 at St Andrews, the Royals forging ahead in the third minute when Dave Kitson's swivel and shot beat Maik Taylor in the home goal. Leroy Lita's second after 40 minutes put Steve Coppell's men in control but a collector's item of a strike from Martin Taylor (47) brought the hosts back into it. However, Lita's second ensured the Berkshire side went through despite Sebastian Larsson's late free-kick.
In west London, Fulham came through as comfortable 3-0 winners against Championship side Stoke.
Vincenzo Montella, who grabbed two goals in the third-round replay victory over Leicester, was at it again to score from close range in the 11th minute after the Potters failed to clear a corner. Brian McBride volleyed in a second seven minutes before half-time and the Cottagers made sure of victory with a third from Tomasz Radzinski.
Watford eliminated last season's FA Cup finalists West Ham, Anthony McNamee with the only goal at Upton Park.
Blackpool secured a replay at Norwich after holding the Championship side to a 1-1 draw at Bloomfield Road.
Darren Huckerby's goal on the stroke of half-time gave the visitors the lead but Ian Evatt's header brought Blackpool level.
A solo effort from David Nugent and an 83rd-minute effort from Kelvin Wilson gave Preston a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace while Alan Lee's 64th-minute penalty steered Ipswich past Swansea at Portman Road.
Barnet's run came to an end with a 2-0 defeat at home to Plymouth. Hasney Aljofree scored the first goal from the penalty spot before Scott Sinclair, on loan from Chelsea, made the result safe.

Please read the description carefully as some pieces are missing on this item. I have here some old stock, that is still new, never having been assembled. This is a K-LINEVILLE FACTORY in the original box (included) that was never assembled, but over the years some of the pieces have disappeared. What is missing is one window insert and one door, and the rollers on one door are broken off and would have to be glued back, the piece is here, just broken off. This can be a really nice building when assembled and with some ingenuity you can make the door and window insert yourself, using either plastic or cardboard. There are a lot of accessories included with this, 7 factory worker figures, 2 hand trucks, fork lift truck, 2 different types of scales, a cart, and 2 crates on skids. So this is a loaded up item that adds some real appeal with all the accessories, even with the missing pieces. Other items included that need to be assembled are the loading dock, roof overhang for the loading dock, smoke stack, and ramp leading to the one door along with the other window inserts and doors. I also have other PLASTICVILLE buildings and accessories available on E-bay. Thanks for looking.

Imagine that you stood in one place and took a bunch of photos in different directions. Now imagine that you printed these photos onto glass sheets and arranged them in the same planes that they were shot: the picture you took of the sky is horizontal, facing down. The mountain off to the left is upright and facing right.
Now imagine that these pieces of glass magically intersect to make a lattice which you can turn to view, and that those pieces of glass disappear from view when they are edge on.
You just imagined Stilla, a great new iPhone app which does all of this for you, without harming a single sheet of glass.

Miles now has free rein
The DISD school board just gave Superintendent Mike Miles a key to more wrongdoings. Apparently the majority of the trustees don't know right from wrong, either. It's no wonder that we are the mess that we are in. There's a whole lot of folks in high places that are shirking their responsibilities these days.
I'm rather sure that we haven't heard the last of his antics.
Vern Ruuska, Richardson
Just get back to educating
The moment is now to move on from the personnel and personality drama in DISD and bring the focus back to who is teaching our students, what is going on in the classroom and what the school district is doing to fix broken systems.
Great leaders pay close attention to their constituents, collect and share information, and provoke change that will progressively reform the areas they represent. It is the duty of the trustees to put forth energy in managing the man hired for this job and into gathering information from constituents; if they had been collaboratively doing this from the onset, I suspect we would not be wasting media power, dollars and time on policy violations.
I urge the DISD Board of Trustees to commit to the entire DISD and be the leaders we voted for. As for the superintendent, we need teachers, and we need amazing ones, now. We need more communication, and our faculty and staff need Miles to stay the course, and inspire, now.
Nadia Khan-Roberts, Farmers Branch
