A Student Project by Leslie Mefford
He wrote the first full length satire by a Black American; he was one of the most distinguished, productive and controversial black newspapermen; he was a muckraking journalist, international correspondent, a critic and book reviewer; he was George S. Schuyler, and his accomplishments are very impressive (Peplow, 9). However, even with all of his endeavors, Schuyler has almost vanished from history. He is missing from the Contemporary Black Biography, Who's Who Among African-Americans, and the Dictionary of American Negro Biography. There is only one copy of his autobiography, Black and Conservative, in all of Washington D.C.'s public libraries, and numerous bookstore have never even heard of George S. Schuyler (Judge, policy). It is remarkable how a man that carries so many fascinating life achievements seems to have never existed; but he did.
George S. Schuyler was born on February 25, 1895 in Rhode Island. He grew up in Syracuse, New York with his parents who taught him self-discipline, independence , thrift and industry (Peplow, 18). Schuyler was quick to learn and knew how to read and write before he began school. At a young age he was a booklover; he "was a tireless worker with an intellect invigorated by books, ideas and learning." (policy) His father died when Schuyler was about three, and his mother remarried. He attended school in Syracuse until 1912 when he joined the army at age seventeen. Schuyler was assigned to the segregated Twenty-fifth U.S. Infantry Regiment stationed in Seattle (Reed, introduction, Black No More). He stayed with the army for seven years, and it is during these years that he developed his journalism skills. He would later write of his army days in "Woof," "Black Warriors" and Black and Conservative (19). He came back to New York and was involved with the black socialist group Friends of Negro Freedom (v).
Schuyler married Josephine E. (Lewis) Cogdell in 1928. She was a wealthy white woman who came from a distinguished family in Texas. The Schuyler family had one child -- a daughter named Philippa. She was a child prodigy with an IQ of 158. She could read and write at the age of two and a half, and by the time she was four she was composing classical music for piano, which she had played since she was three (policy). Philippa died in 1967, and her death devastated Schuyler. It is ironic that she died in Vietnam during the war since Schuyler completely disagreed with communist ideas and committed his life to fighting it. She was killed in a helicopter accident while she was transporting Catholic children to safety (policy). Schuyler's wife died shortly after in 1969.
A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen, who also led the socialist group Friends of Negro Freedom, claim to have revealed Schuyler to the world with their publication The Messenger (Peplow,21); it published Schuyler works for five years. Schuyler was gaining a reputation; and his work caught the attention of Ira F. Lewis, the manager of the Pittsburgh Courier, had a job for Schuyler with that paper until 1966 (policy); Schuyler worked in publication almost his entire life. With his name out in the public eye, he decided to become part of the Harlem Renaissance and began publishing work "supporting the new 'radical' ideas of immediate manhood rights, equal consideration before the law, and an end to lynchings, Jim Crow, and second class citizenship (21). He was known as an iconoclast which is someone who degrades anything others may hold as sacred or condemns respected values or societies; satire came second nature to Schuyler, and he made a good living at it. Schuyler makes this statement about his work, and why he writes: "Whatever I think is wrong, I shall continue to attack. Whatever is right, I shall continue to laud....I have always been more concerned with being true to myself than to any group....I shall continue to pursue this somewhat lonely and iconoclastic course." Black organizations were not happy with Schuyler's attitude and often called him an Uncle Tom. He infuriated enough people to let everything he had done in his life be forgotten: his work, contributions of satire in literature, his journalism, everything, and perhaps this is why finding out about him is so difficult; nobody cared to hear him anymore.
| Top | Schuyler's work grabbed the interest of H. L. Mencken who worked as a "lampooning social critic" for American Mercury (Reed, vi) and would later be Schuyler's mentor. Schuyler was called "the black Mencken;" he was harsh, convincing, posh, amusing, and brutally honest. Mencken would publish several of Schuyler's works in American Mercury. The two became life-long friends; "they were not afraid of the nuts and bolts of good journalism." (policy) Mencken referred to his friend as "'perhaps the best of all the Aframerican journalists.'" (policy) Mencken was not the only one to find Schuyler's writing appealing; W. E. B. Du Bois found the "thinly disguised caricatures of black leaders" (including himself) amusing in Schuyler's novel Black No More a book that established a "mythical solution to the race problem." (Reed, vi) Black No More was published in 1931.
Schuyler had become completely conservative by the 1960s and started to publish his controversial works like "The Reds and I" in American Opinion which was a publication put out by the John Birch Society. During this time Schuyler was attacked by The Crisis for statements he made criticizing Martin Luther King. He also was nominated, at this time, to run against Adam Clayton Powell in the 1964 Congressional elections, although unsuccessful (vi).
Schuyler did not completely aggravate everyone, and in fact, he pleased the black community with his talent; from 1937 to 1944 he was the business manager of the NAACP, which he never hesitated to criticize (policy).
The man had a lot to say and had a style all his own. He wrote about his life in his autobiography Black and Conservative which was published in 1966. Schuyler had strong beliefs and he dedicated his life to those beliefs. William Loeb states: "'My impression of George is one of a greatly balanced individual whose judgment and dedication and devotion to principle is so strong that he has no intention of being swayed by praise or criticism. An iconoclast. Lonely, perhaps, but a man we should listen to.'" (Peplow, 30) "John Henrik Clarke perhaps best explained Schuyler's life when he observed: 'I used to tell people that George got up in the morning, waited to see which way the world was turning, then struck out in the opposite direction. He was a rebel who enjoyed playing that role.'" (Reed, vii) George Schuyler died in New York in 1977.

How to Deal Live
Washington Post job expert Lily Garcia discusses workplace issues.
Welcome to How to Deal Live: Let's begin.Lily
Coping: Dear Lily, I believe my boss is emotionally abusive. She has been reported to HR by past employees but nothing has been done. I am documenting the unacceptable behavior and looking for new work, but in the meantime any tips on how to cope/deal? I really like my job despite this person, and would prefer not to make waves while I look for a new job.
Lily Garcia:
Stafford, Va.: After high turnover and restructuring, the head of our company told me I would be promoted. Subsequent conversations with my supervisors had them telling me the same things, going so far as to detail client lists and assignments that would be added to my workload. They provided me a timeline which has now come and gone. I have followed up every few weeks, and am always told that it is coming soon but that HR is the hold-up. At what point should I address this with HR? Or consider it to be not happening, and look for a new position elsewhere? I'm getting really frustrated.
Lily Garcia:
No city, no state: I work in a small department in a medium size non profit (nearly three years here). Lately my boss has been involving me less and less in both day-to-day issues and bigger projects, for reasons I can't fathom -- boss continues to say my work is valued, and all my performance reviews have been glowing.But it means that basically all of the reasons I took this job are gone, and on many days I have little or no work to do. I know it will take a while to find a new job, and in the meantime I'll have another performance review coming up. I don't think I can sit through that and pretend that everything is fine. In past reviews I've said I've wanted to do more, take on more responsibility, and boss claims to want that too but doesn't follow through on granting me anything.Basically I feel like I want to give an ultimatum ("prove to me this job is still a good fit for me or I'm searching elsewhere") but that doesn't seem smart in this economy. Is there another way to approach this, or is the strong arm truly called for? Thanks for your advice.
Lily Garcia: Why not just describe to your boss the pattern you have been seeing, explain how important it is to you to be challenged in your job, and try to reach an agreement regarding specific projects that you can lead?
Job Interview Distractions: Lily, I recently spent a full day being interviewed at a large company. I spoke with seven different people, two women, five men. All but one of them spent the whole time they were interviewing me checking their BlackBerrys, iPhones, cell phones and laptops. The only one who did not, an HR person, complained repeatedly that the company would not buy her these items, how can she stay connected without them, etc?Each person was distracted during the interviews, and at several points I simply stopped talking. Eventually one of them said, oh you can talk, I can listen and do this. Another one repeatedly asked me to repeat myself as he "wasn't paying attention." Another repeatedly asked me "what was your question?" and twice forgot my name.While I find it rude to spend time on 'devices' rather than an interviewee, I realize my opinion doesn't count, this is the way it is now. I am asking you for coping strategies. I wanted to ask each of these people if we could schedule a more convenient time for the interview, but it took a week for the company to set THIS day up, and I had to come in from out of town the night before for it so that was not feasible.I know important people (yes, including the top editors at the Post, as reported by Washingtonian and other media outlets) are glued to their own BlackBerrys even during meetings and on their own time. I realize it is vital to be connected at every second. How does an interviewee cope and get the attention of someone who is busy with multiple devices? It is hard to know if they are getting your message that you're the best one for the job. (In the case of the big company, I did not get the job. They hired someone who already works there.)
Lily Garcia: I don't think this is something you should have to deal with.
bouncing back in Baltimore: Lilly, I have always been an avid reader of your colum, and I wanted to tell you what happened to me recently. I was quite recently laid off from a pretentious start up company that swans around like its the next Google. I was there barely 2 weeks, and only given the nebulous excuse that "it just wasn't working out." off and recontacted some recruiters and contacts I had spoken to earlier in my job search.Long story short, I have a great job with a large IT company, am making $15k more than I was making at the pretentious start up, and work a shorter work week.I think you readers need to realize that companies feel entitlted to treat workers poorly in this economy and you should always be in the job market. Thanks for all of your fabulous advice.
After-Employment Eerie: How would one deal with a scenerio such as this: I filed a grievance under my firm's guidelines giving details of my manager's abuse.The result was he went into a rage as soon as he found out. I didn't see him during his rage episode, but I could hear him; and someone from HR walked into my office and said I need to leave immediately for my own safety.A few days later, although unemployed yet feeling delightfully free of this evil man, I went to the mall. When leaving one of the stores, he walked past me and gave me a chilling look.A few days later I see him again. Then I went to the grocery store, and a pickup pulled right beside me. The driver rolled down the window and took my photograph.These types of interactions go back and forth. Are there any organizations or resources that provide support for ex-employees who are being intimidated? In trying to sort this out, I've read that some firms purchase life insurance on employes without the knowledge of the employee? If that is the case, then this type of activity makes sense if their goal is to add stress to my life? Do I have any way of finding out what is going on?
Lily Garcia: If you feel threatened by your ex-boss, you should consider seeking a restraining order.
I am documenting the unacceptable behavior and looking for new work, but in the meantime any tips on how to cope/deal?: Two possibilities: does your company have an Employee Assistance Service, and/or an Employee Relations Service? The former can help you cope with the situation without too much emotional exhaustion, and the latter can guide you through dealing with the situation professionally -- to the point of calling HR to account if necessary or possible.
Bad Boss: I have a question about a bad boss. It is remarkable they have gotten to where they are considering their ineptitude and poor management skills. Among many problems I have with them, I also found out they are taking credit for my work. I also spent months last year under great stress and losing sleep believing I was a terrible worker because of what this boss was saying and doing to me only to find out everyone else feels the same way.I'm not too worried about it now as I have put in my resignation. It is at the point where the only way I would stay would be if that boss was gone. My question is about how honest and open I can truly be in my exit interview. So many other people are still dealing with issues with this boss and everyone is afraid they will lose their jobs if they speak up.I want to speak up for them (and myself) but also don't want to burn bridges. I suspect my other higher ups realize this boss is a big problem but we are not that open as a company. If I can be as open and honest as I want to be, how do I approach this discussion? If this person decides to be in my interview I will not speak so this is only in reference to an exit interview with their boss and the HR person.
Lily Garcia:
I have followed up every few weeks, and am always told that it is coming soon but that HR is the hold-up.: Do they give you a vague "HR is holding it up" or do they specify the points on which HR is the bottleneck, such as "they require a certain degree of notice with the vacancy announcement"? If the former, they might well be giving you the runaround as this is a classic excuse for unkept promises.
If you feel threatened by your ex-boss, you should consider seeking a restraining order.: AND you should notify the company of his behavior. They need to know that one of their employees is apparently getting away with criminal behavior.
Lily Garcia: I agree in principle, but you should also consider whether your former boss is likely to find out that you made such a report.
No city, no state again: Thanks for answering my question. I probably didn't make it clear, I've done what you've suggested in past reviews, and nothing has ever come of it. In fact, I'm being tasked to lead fewer and fewer projects, despite asking for and saying "I can and want to do X and Y jobs." Hence my feeling like ultimatum time as come. I'm basically not interested in having this same conversation with her and giving it another six months to improve. I'm already six months past the point where I feel in any way valued in this job (despite what the boss has said). The only reason I'm still here is I believe in the organization's work. Any chance that changes your advice?
Lily Garcia: It sounds to me like it is time to start moving on.
In the case of the big company, I did not get the job. They hired someone who already works there.: Probably because that person knew the firm's culture and wouldn't object to being ignored in an interview. It is a shame that this rude practice is becoing so widespread.
Dreading new job: Hi Lily -I recently accepted a new position, and I'm REALLY not looking forward to starting. I have been working for myself for 7 months, and have really enjoyed the flexibility (and not working 12 hour days). But, I've been making enough to get by, but not enough to save anything. So, I decided to take this job in my field; in part for the salary, but also for the benefits and some other perks. Any suggestions on how to go into this with a positive attitude rather than my current "this is going to be terrible" frame of mind? Thanks!
Lily Garcia: (The at-will employment doctrine benefits employees, too!)
Re: Coping: As a licensed psychologist, I think your advice to this poster was terrific, with one exception. Any mental health professional who is even marginally competent would *never* diagnose an individual using second-hand information, particularly to give a diagnosis of personality disorder, nor would s/he speculate to a third party about that diagnosis. To do so would be grossly unprofessional and bordering on unethical.A mental health professional could of course provide support and guidance for how to handle the specific behaviors/situations regarding the boss, but to suggest that a person raise the possibility of a personality disorder (or any psychiatric illness) is completely inappropriate.
Lily Garcia: Your point is well taken.
Husband and wife in same workplace with same manager: Picture scene - husband and wife doing different jobs but with same manager. Manager constantly asks wife to call husband into work for OT or to get him on phone to ask question. Manager constantly states to wife "I don't know how he puts up with you" or "poor husband" in a kidding way but still not professional. Company allows both in same workplace if not doing same job. Wife feels manager is trying to pit husband against wife and refuses to cooperate if manager wants something (OT, extra hours, special job) from husband - using her to butter up hubby to agree. What to do? No HR as manager the boss but could go up corporate chain but afraid hubby, wife or both could lose jobs. Thanks for your help!
Lily Garcia:
Sounds like the company was just going through the motions of looking outside to hire you: "Job Interview Distractions ..., I recently spent a full day being interviewed at a large company. I spoke with seven different people, two women, five men. All but one of them spent the whole time they were interviewing me checking their BlackBerrys, iPhones, cell phones and laptops.... (In the case of the big company, I did not get the job. They hired someone who already works there.)" There's your answer--the company was just going through the motions of looking outside the company --they already knew they were going to hire the insider. Years ago, I interviewed at a federal government agency. The interviewer actually told me that I wasn't going to get the job because an insider was going to get it. And the only reason for the interview was to satisfy the requirement that outsiders be interviewed. He smirked at me, and then went on to complain about his co-workers!
Lily Garcia: I guess there is something to be said fro honesty!
Touchy subject: I have a direct report with some health issues. This individual also has very poor hygiene, perhaps because of the health problems. Other reports have begun complaining to me about the smell and I honestly don't know how to broach the subject. Any advice?
Lily Garcia: With your permission, I will reply to your question in the form of a How to Deal column.
For your reference: Here is a link to an article I previously published about how to deal with a boss who takes credit for your work:http:/
Link to article regarding exit interviews: http:/
Just need some motivation: I am totally depressed at my job. Found out we're cutting staff by 1/2 (we're a tiny organization, of eight people) and that of course I get to take on more work as a result, with no greater pay.The transition plan in place ( to go from 8 to 4 people ) seems totally inadequate and unrealistic. I just don't see how we're going to get as much done with half the people, since expectations for our work have not been adjusted.I get a new boss, too, which I'm not too excited about. I'm trying to keep perspective because 1) I still have a job; and 2) this happens to people all the time, and they deal with it. But I'm looking for tips on how to deal.
Lily Garcia:
Touchy subject again: Please do! I really need all the advice I can get! Upper management has no insights. It's an "inherited" problem so that doesn't help, either.
To The psychologist: DOD and other executive branch agencies will typically ask mental health professionals for their opinion on if the individual's condition could impair their judgment and reliability as it pertians to the protection fo classfied inforamtion. They also ask for diagnosis and prognosis.
PDA Rudeness: I work in HR for a major entertainment company and every week, deal with people texting, twittering and whatever during the new hire orientation session. Maybe I am old fashioned, but it is so rude and clueless, I don't know where to begin. What on earth is so important that people cannot take a break for an hour or two??
Lily Garcia: Have you tried politely requesting at the start of the orientation session that all mobile devices be turned off or placed on vibrate and put away?
Lily Garcia: http:/
Office Politics : I've worked in a matrix oriented environment where employees trade "hats" depending upon the contract. Office politics happened there, but nothing compares to what I have experienced recently in an organized hierarchy. Would it pretty much end the deal if - during an interview - I ask to look at their organizational chart, and subsequently discuss how employees report and interact?
Lily Garcia: I do not think that it would be inappropriate of you, however, to ask the interviewer to describe the chain of command and where you would fit in.
Until next time: Meanwhile, you may email your questions to email@example.com wishes,Lily

Penn State fans crowd game under Bill O'Brien
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State fans gathered 97,186 strong Saturday to honor the memory of Joe Paterno and watch the Nittany Lions play their first football game under his successor, Bill O'Brien.
It has been a tumultuous 10 months since Paterno was fired -- after 46 years as head coach -- before the final home game in November amid allegations he knew about Jerry Sandusky's criminal behavior in a sex-abuse scandal that rocked the nation.
In July, Penn State officials removed the statue of Paterno from outside Beaver Stadium amid an outcry from his supporters. Penn State fans with deep feelings about the football program but sadness over Paterno's role have been less vocal.
Paterno died of lung cancer in January.
Emotions that have been roiling for months reached a crescendo when O'Brien, a former New England Patriots assistant coach, led the Nittany Lions onto the field only to end in a heartbreaking 24-14 upset loss to Ohio University. Describing the moment in the tunnel before the game, O'Brien said, "I have a special bond with these players, and I was excited to lead them out onto the field. I just wish that I did a better job during the game."
Once the ball was kicked off, O'Brien said, it was a normal game. "Other than the fact it was my first game, I didn't sense anything different about today's game," he said.
But the difference was profound for fans seeing names on Penn State's plain blue-and-white uniforms for the first time and a new leader in place of Paterno, who first walked the sidelines here in 1950 as an assistant. There was no official recognition of the late Paterno during the game, but Paterno's wife, Sue, and daughter, Mary Kay, watched from the family's suite.
Sue Paterno posted a sign on the front door of her home in support of the football program even though her husband's legacy has been damaged as the result of a university investigation led by former FBI director Louis Freeh. His report said emails suggest Paterno was part of a decision to cover up allegations against Sandusky, who was convicted in June on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
The Freeh report was the basis for NCAA sanctions, including a four-year bowl ban, a four-year limit of 65 scholarships starting in 2014, an unprecedented $60 million fine and the forfeiture of the last 111 of Paterno's record 409 wins.
But it's clear that many of the Penn State faithful question the conclusions of the Freeh report.
Hundreds gathered at the site outside the stadium where Paterno's statue was removed and a wall with plaques honoring each of his teams was torn down and replaced by a grass-covered berm. Their anger toward the board of trustees and school administration was palpable.
"I have just the phrase for them: 'Shame on you,' " said Cindy Johnson, who traveled some 175 miles from Bethlehem, Pa., to honor Paterno's memory with a sign expressing her belief that the coach is in heaven. "They crucified Joe absolutely. But he's in our hearts. There are boys whose lives were turned around because of what Joe did for them, and I won't let that go."
What troubles some Penn Staters the most is that all the good they say that Paterno did has been overshadowed by Sandusky's wrongdoing. Removal of the Paterno statue was the final insult, they said.
"Why did they take the statue down?" sophomore Adam Kowalski asked. "It's excessive. Joe Paterno has a library here. Put the statue in there."

ANTIOCH — After making her first four shots on a small basketball hoop, Alexandra was determined to make it 5 for 5.
With her classmates behind her cheering her on, the 10-year-old student from Pittsburg's Foothill Elementary stepped into a circle drawn on the ground in chalk, clutched the ball tightly with both hands and launched it over her head.
After the ball went in, the special education student quickly spun around in delight, a wide, toothy grin on her face.
"I win!" she shouted repeatedly.
Her teachers, classroom aides and peers went wild.
"Way to go, Alli!"
It didn't matter that someone had helped tip in her shot.
Alexandra was one of 90 children from the Contra Costa County Office of Education-run special education programs in Pittsburg and Antioch participating in a basketball skills clinic Friday morning at Turner Elementary.
The event was created by the county Office of Education and the Special Olympics of Northern California.
Students shot, dribbled and did passing drills with the assistance of teens from Walnut Creek Intermediate School.
Special education students, said program coordinator Sherri Roberti, "don't get to compete in regular sports, so for them to be able to do this and receive that direct attention, it brings out the best in them."
"It gives me chills," she said.
Adds Jim Turnbull, who runs the county's adaptive physical education program: "You see them take these little steps, and it thrills them to no end."
Turnbull pointed out how one student from Antioch's Deer Valley High, Jesus, was doing dribbling drills after recently starting to walk without the help of a walker. Another student, Diego, is working to completely retrain one side of his body to function after a car accident.
"It's pretty remarkable," he said.
The program is also intended to teach the nondisabled students a lesson in acceptance and to dispel stereotypes.
For Dylan Sleeper, it was a lesson well-learned.
The 14-year-old Walnut Creek student, who was helping run the dribbling drills, said he hadn't really worked or been up close and personal with disabled peers.
"It's nice to be helping, and it makes you feel good to see them getting all excited and know that you helped," he said.
The Schools Partnership program between the county and Special Olympics started in spring 2007 with a track and field pilot program. The program is held at sites in the county throughout the year, including Danville's Monte Vista High earlier this week. It includes three sports: basketball, soccer and track and field.
The track and field event will be held in May at Brentwood's Liberty High School.

Yellen says economy still needs help, coming out strongly in favor of Fed's recent strategies
Janet Yellen, nominated to be the next chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, said the economy and labor market are performing "far short of their potential" and must improve before the Fed can begin reducing monetary stimulus.
"A strong recovery will ultimately enable the Fed to reduce its monetary accommodation and reliance on unconventional policy tools such as asset purchases," said Yellen, the Fed's vice chairwoman, in testimony prepared for her nomination hearing today before the Senate Banking Committee. "I believe that supporting the recovery today is the surest path to returning to a more normal approach to monetary policy."
The remarks show Yellen is committed to the central bank's strategy of attempting to boost the economy and lower 7.3 percent unemployment, more than four years after the economy began to recover from the longest and deepest recession since the Great Depression. She also signaled support for capital and liquidity rules to help reduce the perception that some banks are too big to fail.
In three pages of prepared remarks, she said unemployment is "still too high, reflecting a labor market and economy performing far short of their potential" and that inflation is "expected" to remain below the Fed's goal for 2 percent price increases. She also highlighted areas where the economy has improved, saying housing "seems to have turned a corner" and the auto industry has made an "impressive comeback."
Yellen in her prepared testimony publicly voiced her views for the first time in seven months on the unprecedented monetary stimulus that she's supported and that some lawmakers have used to justify voting against her. The hearing is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. in Washington.
She also said that the Fed has "made progress in promoting a strong and stable financial system, but here, too, important work lies ahead."
Yellen said that capital and liquidity rules, as well as "strong supervision" are important tools to regulate the largest banks. She said that "in writing new rules, however, the Fed should continue to limit the regulatory burden for community banks and smaller institutions, taking into account their distinct role and contributions."
Yellen, 67, was nominated last month by President Obama to succeed Ben S. Bernanke, whose term at the central bank expires Jan. 31.
In her remarks, Yellen said "the past six years have been challenging for our nation and difficult for many Americans," crediting Bernanke for averting an even more dire outcome.
"The effects were severe, but they could have been far worse," Yellen said. "Under the wise and skillful leadership of Chairman Bernanke, the Fed helped stabilize the financial system, arrest the steep fall in the economy and restart growth."
The banking committee, consisting of 12 Democrats and 10 Republicans, will vote at a later date on whether to advance Yellen's nomination to the full Senate. She'll need the support of at least 60 senators to win confirmation.
If confirmed, Yellen will lead the Fed's efforts to finish implementation of the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulation since the 1930s.

By Dean Smith
There are some thoughts running around in millions of Christian's minds right now that absolutely in no way line up with the Word of God; however, it's drastically affecting their joy, peace, and contentment on this earth. Thoughts like:
"I have already confessed and repented for this sin a hundred times, God won't want to forgive me this time, so I might as well just give up."
"God's never seen someone who sins quite the way I do."
"I can never be forgiven after what I just did."
"I've been a Christian for years, I knew better than to do that, I can't be forgiven now."
"I'm a pastor/leader in my church, this sin is well beyond God's grace."
People commit sins and are fooled that their trespasses have somehow disqualified them from God's grace, mercy, and love. We somehow get this rationale in our minds that we are so much different and outside the scope of anything Jesus could have thought of when He was hanging on the cross for the penalty of our sins. Jesus tells us explicitly that nothing we can do can separate us from His love. No sin is the last straw. In fact, after we've received Jesus Christ in our hearts as our Lord and savior and received the Holy Spirit, which is your seal of your inheritance, there is no sin, that can overtake God's grace.
Romans 5:20 (Message) But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.
If you could just picture the very biggest sin or sins in your life in one corner of the steel cage as the low voiced announcer says, "In this corner, weighing in with a long line of adulterous, lying, cheating, stealing, murderous thoughts and actions is the sin of Dean Smith. In this corner, weighing in with no sin and saving Christians and keeping them guilt free for thousands of years, introducing, God's aggressive forgiveness itself, help me welcome, God's Grace!" You can almost hear the crowd going wild. You can believe that at the end of an extremely quick and bloody fight (insert something about it's only Jesus blood), God's grace is the victor with His hands raised up in the air with the shiny gold belt around his waist. You have to know that as you read the words on this page and live and breathe, that no sin you have ever committed or ever will commit will be able to out do God's aggressive forgiveness, we call grace.
There are countless examples in the bible of powerful, God-ordained leaders who committed huge sins against God, but were still blessed and fulfilled a huge purpose on this earth. Let's just take the examples of people who committed what we would think is one of the biggest sins: Murder.
Moses murdered an Egyptian man but God chose him to lead the Israelites in the Promised Land.David was responsible for committing adultery with Uriah's wife Bathsheba, then he had Uriah killed and then married Bathsheba. David was the second King of Israel, which he lead to a prominence like it had never known before.
Paul was responsible for hundreds or thousands of Christians being flogged and murdered. He also wrote most of the New Testament and was responsible for countless people repenting and giving their life to Christ.
Don't believe that your sins have disqualified you from having an awesome destiny on this earth. God can use anyone to fulfill his purpose, as long as they make themselves available. We know that devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). What we have to understand is one of the most important targets on your life for Satan to steal, kill, and destroy is your faith in God's grace. Just like your sin, the devil can never defeat what the blood of Jesus has done for us, but he can attack your faith in the blood of Jesus.
If you are one of those people who has been beat up and thrown around by guilt and condemnation with a deep belief that your sins are just too much for God to forgive, today is the day to stand up and claim your rightful victory over sin, over the devil, and over guilt and condemnation. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever and when He hung on the cross a couple thousand years ago, he knew you would sin, he knew what kinds of sins you would do, and that's why He paid such a high price to defeat your sins once and for all.
Colossians 2:13-16 [13] When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, [14] having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. [15] And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Your sins of the past, your sins of the present, and your sins of the future have been nailed to the cross for now and forever. Not because of anything you have done wrong or right, but because of what Jesus did on the cross.
Today's Exercise
Imagine God's grace as a fighter in the center of a fighting ring, with his hands raised up, standing over the top of another fighter who looks just like your sins. Focus on that image and imagine it every time you confess and repent your sins to God. His grace will beat your sin every time.
Lord, thank you so much that where my sin is, your grace wins every time. Right now, I confess my sin of (insert sin here) and I thank you that my sin has been nailed to the cross forever. Thank you Lord, that I can come boldly to the throne of grace and receive mercy. Thank you Jesus, for sacrificing your life, so I could live. Help me continually have faith in the blood that you shed for me on the cross and the power that it holds and the freedom that it gives me in my life today. I love you, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.

$270 long-life ATX motherboard packs six PCI slots, CompactFlash
Post a comment
Based on an Intel 845GV embedded chipset with integrated Intel Extreme Graphics and ADD support for digital display panels, board maker RadiSys Corp. (Hillsboro, Oregon) announces its Endura SH845GV long-life ATX board.
The latest in the company's Endura family of CPU platforms, the Model SH845GV supports both Intel Pentium-4 and Celeron microprocessors. The product is designed to address compute-intensive applications such as video surveillance, medical imaging, gaming, and industrial control systems. These typically use a larger number of PCI peripheral cards.
It's Scalable
The SH845GV ATX provides a scalable platform. The company claims that lets you select the on-board microprocessor that's best suited to meet your price vs. performance requirements. For example, Intel's 2.4-GHz and 2.8-GHz Pentium-4 processors can be used for high performance embedded applications, with the 2-GHz Celeron being used as an entry-level and more cost-effective approach.
Radisys claims this flexibility, combined with a five-year lifetime, provides OEMs with an embedded platform designed for a lower total cost-of-ownership. "OEMs look for platforms that can deliver leading-edge technology, can be used in many applications, and don't cost a fortune to own over the life of the product," avows Fred Yentz, the company's VP.
"The SH845GV was designed to meet the needs of OEMs looking for long-life solutions that can be used in a variety of embedded applications," adds Yentz. "This pairing of components and architecture also minimizes the component churn that's become common in the standard desktop ATX boards."
Yentz adds that RadiSys chose the components and architecture on this product to ensure that OEMs get a flexible and cost-effective platform that can be leveraged in more than one implementation.
Plenty Of Slots
Expanding the number of PCI slots also lets you pack more video I/O cards in a video surveillance application, for example, or to attach all the interface cards required for coin-op gaming machines. The product's AGP digital display slot enables use of an ADD card to interface to digital display panels typically used in medical and gaming applications. The SH845GV is an industry-standard 12-in. x 9.6-in. ATX form-factor board. It supports the Pentium-4 and Celeron processors at bus speeds of 400-MHz or 533-MHz. It also has support for up to two Gigabytes of DDR SDRAM. In addition to the integrated Intel Extreme Graphics, other features include a 10/100 Ethernet port and an AC97-compliant digital audio port.
Expansion is provided by six 32-bit/33-MHz PCI slots, and a CompactFlash socket for on-board storage. Integrated I/O includes six Universal Serial Bus v2.0 ports, two serial ports, one parallel port, and PS/2 ports for keyboard and mouse.
Pricing and Availability
Yentz says the SH845GV is currently sampling. It's priced at about $270, and OEM discounts are available. For questions or to receive more information contact RadiSys Corp., 5445 NE Dawson Creek Dr., Hillsboro, Oregon 97124. Phone : (503) 615-1100, or (800) 950-0044. Fax: (503) 615-1115.

The Duo can even simultaneously charge two different batteries with different voltages. It runs on 100-240 VAC power, allowing for use all over the world. Charging time is between two and six hours, and the charger also features a USB 2.0 port for charging another device simultaneously. The LCD screen provides a digital read-out of each battery's charge percentage - even when the charger is unplugged - via the test button. The Duo includes a power cord with a 2-prong US plug, as well as a 12 VDC car charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter.
The VideoMic Pro with Rycote Lyre Shockmount from Rode is a supercardioid condenser shotgun microphone that terminates in a 1/8" stereo mini-jack (dual mono), includes an integrated shockmount, and an integrated foam windscreen. It can be used to capture audio for camcorders, DSLR, and portable recorders as a source of primary and reference audio.
The VideoMic Pro has been upgraded from earlier models with a 1/2" condenser capsule that provides broadcast-quality audio. Its 1/8" stereo mini-jack connector (outputting the mono signal to both left and right channels) delivers low self-noise of just 14 dB. A supercardioid polar pattern ensures that surrounding audio is minimized, and your recording is focused on the subject in front of the camera.
In addition, the Rycote Lyre-based shockmount is built from a single piece of hard-wearing thermoplastic. It separates the VideoMic Pro capsule and electronics from its mount, providing isolation from external physical factors that may cause unwanted rumble and vibrations in the microphone. This suspension will never wear out, sag or snap.
Easily accessible on the rear face of the microphone are the power, the filter, the level controls and a selectable high-pass filter at 80 Hz. The filter will prevent low-end noise such as air conditioners and traffic from being recorded. Furthermore, the -10 dB (or pad) is suitable when recording loud sound sources such as live music, motorsports, or interviews, where the subject is very close to the camera. There is a +20 dB level boost designed for use with DSLR cameras, so the user can reduce the camera's preamp level, effectively reducing the amount of noise generated by the camera's audio circuitry.
The Rode VideoMic Pro uses a standard sized shoe-mount for on-camera use and features a 3/8" thread in the base of the mount for easy boom-pole mounting. The VideoMic Pro is battery powered and provides over 70-hours recording from a single 9V battery.
The Revo SR-1000 Shoulder Support Rig, in black and red, is designed for the run-and-gun style of video shooting and enables smoother camera movements than are otherwise possible with a handheld setup. Weighing just 2.25 lb, the SR-1000's lightweight, ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue for prolonged use. The rig supports a maximum capacity of up to 5.5 lb, which is suitable for DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and small to mid-sized camcorders.
The shoulder support pad is reversible, for right or left-handed configuration, and the assembled rig is forward, backward, and height-adjustable. The foam-padded handle can also be detached for use as a standalone support for lightweight cameras. The SR-1000 is an essential tool for adding a professional level of polish to video projects, especially when using a camera with ergonomics better suited to still photography.
The Duracell 9V Battery (Coppertop) is Duracell's best battery for Photo/Electronic devices. It has been specially formulated to meet the increasing power demands of high power devices such as digital and flash cameras, remote control toys and halogen flashlights.

Egypt pushes for Mid-East summit
At a critical moment in the Middle East, one of the most influential Arab leaders is visiting the White House - President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, who is to meet President George Bush on Tuesday.
Mr Mubarak is one of America's key allies in the region - Egypt will soon overtake Israel in the amount of US military aid it receives. He is also a close confidant of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Yet the situation between Israel and the Palestinians is so dark that no-one is expecting any breakthroughs.
The Egyptian leader brings his own peace proposal.
President Mubarak's suggestion is that he should host a summit between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Mr Mubarak first put the idea forward in a telephone call with the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, around a week ago. Now he is trying it out in Washington.
"We are not going to solve all the problems in one minute," said Mr Mubarak. But he insisted the idea could "change the atmosphere... show the people that both are sitting together."
It is, literally, a media offensive. The Egyptian idea was first aired publicly on the US cable news channel CNN.
It is clearly a response to the Saudi peace proposals first suggested to the New York Times columnist Tom Friedman.
Peace plans
Under the Saudi ideas, Arab states would recognise the state of Israel if Israel withdraws to its 1967 borders. By all accounts, this is not a plan to bring about a ceasefire, but a look at the much longer term.
By contrast, the Egyptian idea just involves a summit meeting, with no further suggestions about how to take the matter forward.
As President Mubarak must know, it is a proposal that is likely to be stillborn.
The whole thrust of Ariel Sharon's policy has been to isolate and pressurise Yasser Arafat.
The Israeli leader has refused to meet his Palestinian counterpart since taking office. At the moment, Mr Arafat is not even allowed to leave the West Bank town of Ramallah.
US dilemma
As for the Americans, it leaves them in a more difficult position.
On the one hand, the Bush administration is committed to the Israeli Government. On the other, the administration will be loath to antagonise Mr Mubarak.
The initial response of the American Secretary of State, Colin Powell, was to parry the idea as "interesting".
Both the Egyptian and Saudi ideas share the effect of casting Ariel Sharon as the obstacle to peace.
They also further increase the pressure on Washington to intervene in the ever-worsening conflict.
As the violence increases, almost by the day, it seems much of the energy is being exercised in passing round the blame.

Members of the Johnson County Library Board met with the county commissioners at their meeting this week to update them on their proposed expansion project and where in the planning process the project currently sits.
Cynthia Twing told the commissioners that the board had hired Plan One of Cody for the draft design work, which the board will be paying to have done.
With the architect hired, she said, the first step in the process is public outreach to gather public input on the library expansion project, tentatively scheduled for next month.
The library is moving forward in the planning stages to expand the library to roughly double it's current size. Properties to the north of the current library have been in in their sites for purchase for a number of years.
Discussions on the expansion included a cautious tone from new commissioner Jim Hicks, who said he feels the public is a little weary of new capital construction projects. He will adopt a "wait and see" attitude on the expansion.
Twing shared some insight from one architect she spoke to about the proposed project.
The public input meetings have tentatively been scheduled for February 5th, 6th, and 7th with a site to be determined.

Survivor: One World's days of fun 'n' sun are over.
An ominous storm ravaged the Castaways' camp in tonight's episode, foreshadowing a power struggle and the toppling of a ruler.
So who is the new sovereign in Survivor's game of thrones?
Queen Colton!
Last week's outcast is now Manono's HBIC, and after losing two challenges in a row to the
dysfunctional women, the Misfit/Average Joe alliance deferred to the Country Club Republican in selecting their first castoff.
The Boy King Matt (a doppelgänger for Game of Thrones' Joffrey Baratheon) was not only cut down by the Colton Quintet—even his Frat-Boy Alliance turned on him.
Whether it was his physical dominance, bitchiness or unhealthy obsession with poultry, Matt's was the third torch snuffed this season.
Speaking of fire snuffing…the women got off to a miserable start tonight. Neither their fire nor their flimsy shelter could withstand the pounding rain and wind, while the men were warm and cozy under their tarp. After a night of soaked shivering, the women swallowed their pride and begged the men to let them warm up at their fire.
But maybe the cold sharpened the women's brains, because in the concentration/memory reward challenge they didn't allow the men to score a single point against them. (Kat, predictably, had to try seven times before she got it right, but she still beat Troyzan.) Jeff Probst, in snazzy non-chambray shirt, berated Manono this time, yelling during the challenge, "The men continue to be pathetic!"
So did the women, actually, who begged the boys again to help them with fire and setting back gender equality about 60 years by crying in the cold, "We're girls, we're not meant to be beaten down this well." They also turned in a pathetic performance in the blindfolded Immunity Challenge, but Sabrina made up for her feeble direction with a huge comeback, solving the final puzzle before Bill.
Bill's yo-bro-isms so infuriated Colton that he—privately—called him "ghetto trash" and suggested he should kill himself. (His "head on a platter" comment in next week's previews suggest that Bill won't endear himself to the Queen C.)
Cocky Matt tried to persuade Troyzan to abandon the "chickens": "I thought you were one of the roosters" he said to the unruffled Troyzan, who pretended to ally with the non-egg-laying faction. Matt called fowl on the other 'Zan man at Tribal Council, saying he wanted Tarzan "to talk turkey."
After assuring Jeff before the vote that he would play his Hidden Immunity Idol, Colton smugly kept it in his pocket and only received one vote—from Matt.
"You pissed off the wrong Queen," Colton said as he wrote Matt's name down, preening and congratulating himself as the first pair of armor-plated pecs sauntered out of Tribal Council. (First stop: Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles.)
Monty Brinton/CBS
Colton's Quips:
"I'm a Republican, I am not a Democrat—I do not believe in handouts." —On the Salani tribes repeated requests for help from the men
"But even I don't understand!" —In response to Troyzan, who said, "We're men, they're women, maybe we think different."
"I'm so excited to vote someone out. I dislike so many of these people." —After the men lost their first Immunity Challenge
"I can't deal with this 'Yo bro, like bro,'—shut up, go kill yourself. All he's doing is digging himself a grave. I don't want to talk to you, I don't like you, stay away from me. You're ghetto trash, that's all you are. I can't stand him. I want him gone yesterday." —On Bill, dashing our hopes for an Odd Couple bromance
"Matt's the head of the snake, and you have to chop off the head of the snake for the rest of it to stop wiggling. Of this tribe of nine, if I could get rid of five people, it would be heaven." —Colton, just being misanthropic
"Save those questions for me." —When Jeff refuses Tarzan's request to hear the last two votes
Is Colton amusing or obnoxious? Do you think his tribe made the right move tonight? Take your torch on down to the comments and sound off!

Texans don't wait for NFL draft for $60 million deal on a new Carr
Published April 22, 2002
By the time you read this, David Carr may be a Houston Texan, signed, sealed and delivered.
The Texans and Mike Sullivan, head of football for Octagon and agent to the Fresno State quarterback, reached a tentative agreement last Monday on a seven-year, $60 million deal.
The deal includes an $11 million signing bonus, a $3 million option bonus and $2.25 million in salary over the first three years, a source said. Over seven years, the deal includes about $46.25 million in salary and bonuses, with about $13 million in additional escalators and incentive bonuses, the source said.
Sullivan, in an interview last Monday, declined to comment on the details of the deal but said that he and the Texans were close to an agreement.
"They are interested in getting it done, if possible [before the draft]," Sullivan said. He planned to travel to Houston to meet with Texans officials last Wednesday and Thursday to try to work out a deal before heading to New York Friday for the draft.
Sullivan, who is based in Walnut Creek, Calif., already has traveled to Houston twice, in late March and early April, to meet with Texans general manager Charley Casserly and chief negotiator Dan Ferens. They all reviewed the contracts of Peyton Manning, Tim Couch and Michael Vick, recent No. 1 selections who were quarterbacks, Sullivan said.
"We talked about structure issues ... [including] the relationship of the signing bonus to the overall deal," he said. "Both sides are optimistic that with the groundwork we have laid, it won't be too long to come to a deal."
Sam Clancy and Dan Gadzuric are now SFX Basketball teammates.
SFX LANDS FOUR NBA DRAFT PROSPECTS: SFX Basketball, which has dominated the NBA draft in the last few years, has signed at least four prospects so far for this June's draft, including three potential first-rounders.
Sam Clancy, a forward from USC; Dan Gadzuric, a center from UCLA; and Bostjan Nachbar, a Slovenian small forward, who plays for the Italian pro team Benetton Treviso, have all signed with the agency. NBAdraft.net, a mock draft Web site popular with basketball agents, had Clancy ranked No. 15, Gadzuric ranked No. 20 and Nachbar ranked No. 26 last week, which would put them all in the first round.
SFX also signed Mladen Sekularac, a Yugoslavian guard/forward who plays for the Yugoslavian pro team FMP Zeleznik. Sekularac is not ranked by NBAdraft.net.
SFX Basketball chief Arn Tellem and SFX Basketball senior director Bob Myers, both based in Los Angeles, represent Clancy and Gadzuric. SFX Basketball senior vice president David Bauman, based in Washington, D.C., represents Nachbar and Sekularac.
Last year, SFX agents represented 10 players selected in the first round of the NBA draft, a record for one company.
BUCHANON, PORTIS SIGN WITH REEBOK: University of Miami cornerback Phillip Buchanon and college teammate and running back Clinton Portis have signed two-year deals with Reebok, said David Ware, agent for the players. Both were expected to be chosen fairly high in the NFL draft.
Ware, a lawyer with the firm Constangy, Brooks & Smith and owner of Vortex Sports & Entertainment, would not reveal the value of the deals, but said they include cash and merchandise.
Agents said Reebok has been a welcome competitor to Nike, at least in the eyes of players and agents, in the footwear market this year. Both companies have talked to many of the projected first-round draft picks about deals.
"Reebok is going after guys who are fast," Ware said of the company's interest in Buchanon and Portis. "Their whole program is designed around people who are very fast."
Ware also signed a deal for Portis with Sony to appear as the featured player on 989 Sports' NCAA GameBreaker 2003 video game. He declined to reveal the value of that deal, but said it includes cash and merchandise.
Ware and the other agents in his firm — Mike Malfatino, Terry Williams and Braylen Bennett — represent nine players who were eligible for last weekend's draft. "Yes, this is a great year," Ware said. "We feel extremely blessed."
IF TO REP THREE FOR BROADCAST WORK: IF Management has signed former Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets outfielder Darryl Hamilton, former San Antonio Spurs small forward Sean Elliott and CBS announcer Gus Johnson for representation in broadcast work.
IF agents Steve Herz and Gideon Cohen will represent the three new clients. New York-based IF Management specializes in sports broadcast work and represents about 60 clients.

As one of the top defensive backs in a loaded secondary at Lancaster High School, Demontre Hurst is getting a number of looks from major programs and his offer list has been on the rise. Recently, Hurst picked up two new offers and looks to be close to a third big one.
"Utah and Wake Forest, they offered me and then I talked to the Michigan coach and he said that he was going to offer," Hurst said. "I talked to the Michigan coach Thursday night. He told me to give him a call back but I hadn't saved the number so I couldn't call him."
Hurst believes that a few more schools may be close to extending him an offer as well.
Article Continues Below
"Kansas and Nebraska, I guess I'm on their list right now and TCU," he said. "I'm talking to them and they say I'm on their list and they're going to evaluate me with the coaching staff."
All of the increased attention has been an exciting experience for Hurst.
"Yeah it's exciting," he said. "At the same time it's kind of crazy because they're calling all the time. I average at least two or three calls a week. They're telling me to go to their websites to check out some things. I like a lot of them."
Hurst has not gotten to the point where he has any favorites yet. At this point, he is simply taking in the process.
"I don't know yet because I like all of them," he said. "I'm going to their websites to see what type of school they have with academics. I'm keeping my options open. I don't want to rush into anything."
As he continues to gather information, Hurst is planning a busy summer of camps.
"I'm supposed to be going to the Arizona next weekend for a camp down there because the coach, he wants to see us," he said. "I'm scheduling different camps, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State all the local ones. My granny, she stays in Oklahoma so I go down there a lot so I might take a tour of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. I've already been to Texas and Texas A&M and TCU so I kind of want to go to some schools this summer that I haven't seen too."

JB5: downgrading FW->possible ?
I tried upgrading my year old JB with the latest FW and it is now un-usable for me.
All I really needed it for was TXT and PDF files and post upgrade it does the PDFs semi-reliably, but locks up tight on any TXT files.
(Just for yucks I tried other file types and the results are very random.)
There is a thread here about using the Chinese FW which fascinates me, but before I get myself in WAY too deep I'd like to ask a question which I've seen asked here in other threads, but not answered:
What is the 'trick' to downgrading JB FW ?
I got mine UP to 0.35k and back to 0.35a (?) but it failed when I tried to go below that, every time.
Since it originally had 0.33g I suspect there is an incompatibility or bug of some sort and going too new is a very bad thing.
I would rather believe this than to think the JB has gone bad and is now just doing random things because it is 'crazy' somehow.
And if anyone is inclined to answer me...what are the tricks, meaning cross changes possible between the JB and other device's FW, has anyone tried other types in the JB with success ?
Thanks !

Report: Cain Accuser Got $45,000
Another shoe drops: Politico, which first broke the story of sexual-harassment allegations against Herman Cain during his time at the National Restaurant Association, reports that one of Cain's accusers received a severance payment of $45,000. That's more than the $35,000 that another accuser received, according to The New York Times, and significantly higher than what Cain, under fire from the media, recalled as being only two or three months' pay. Cain's wife, Gloria, will not defend him on Fox News Friday night. Meanwhile, Rick Perry says that there's "no apology needed" to Cain.

Enough already about Andrew Cashner, right? (No, never). The point we're making this morning is Huston Street's stellar start to the season has flown largely under the radar given Cashner's start to the year.
The Padres closer converted his fifth save in five chances Wednesday night to preserve a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies and run his string to 30 of 31 since May 14, 2013. His effort this time included strikeouts of Josh Rutledge and Corey Dickerson before getting Charlie Blackmon to fly out to center to escape pinch-hitter Wilin Rosario's two-out double unscathed.
Street, in fact, remains the lone Padres pitcher without a run allowed this season. He has scattered three hits and a walk over six innings while striking out six.
Other U-T coverage
His right biceps ailing after injuring it during batting practice Tuesday, Chase Headley was left out of the lineup Wednesday as Everth Cabrera (knee) returned. The time off might do him well, too, as columnist Matt Calkins suggests the 29-year-old third baseman might be stuck in his own head as he navigates another slump to start the season.
The concept isn't foreign to Headley.
"Baseball's tricky with your mind," Headley told Calkins."You're constantly fighting it – unless you're just too dumb to know better."

Since the outbreak of the global financial and economic crisis in late 2008/early 2009, UNESCO has monitored the impact of the crisis on the education sector of its Member States. An initial exploratory study conducted in 50 developing countries showed that, despite examples of protectionist measures for education, damages to education budgets were already evident as early as March 2009. Further research conducted in 12 countries during August–September 2009 indicated that all 12 countries experienced an economic slowdown in 2009; a decline in government revenues and budget cuts were observed in 2008 and 2009.
After the initial review of the impact on public expenditures in education, a second series of studies focused on an area little examined in the literature: the magnitude and nature of the impact of the crisis on day-to-day school activities, teachers and parents, as well as their ability to adjust to the difficulties brought about by the crisis.
Initial findings suggest that in general, public expenditures for education, especially in low-income countries (LICs) and developing nations remain largely stable. Donors have responded to the crisis by scaling up social programs to counter externalities. Despite these increases, donors need to bridge a financing gap of US$16 billion a year for basic education, of which current aid comprises US$ 3 billion. Moreover, private capital flows to LICs and developing nations has dropped drastically, and this could have profound effects on education. In the face of economic pressures, education challenges such as access, social and gender parity, and quality are all the more evident. In particular, learners from poor households and vulnerable groups are most likely to be affected.
It is expected that the information available on this site will enable Member States to address emerging education challenges pertaining to the aftermath of the crisis.Back to top
