Ethical Considerations and E-Discovery: How to Overcome Challenges in Tennessee - on CD
Effective July 1, 2009, the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure were amended to introduce e-discovery to Tennessee state courts. Under the e-discovery amendments, a party may discover electronically stored information (ESI) regarding any matter, not privileged to what is relevant to the subject involved in a pending action.
ESI includes anything that is saved in an electronic format on a device that can store electronic information such as e-mail, web pages, word processing files, audio and video files, voicemail, images, and computer databases.
State courts have dealt with various e-discovery issues with little guidance from Tennessee appellate courts. In 2011, the Tennessee Court of Appeals, in a breach of contract action, ruled that a trial court did not abuse its discretion in shifting the defendant's electronic discovery costs to the plaintiff after ordering the defendant to produce electronic documents when the defendant showed and described the undue burden and hardship that the plaintiff's discovery requests created through an affidavit of its IT personnel.
In order to best serve your clients, it's crucial for you to have a solid understanding of the e-discovery process so you can keep ethical standards high while remaining in compliance.
In just one hour, you'll gain new insights and guidance on:
- Recent Tennessee decisions involving e-discovery
- How to draft a Preservation Letter
- What constitutes a reasonable search
- Self-performed search vs. third party
- Horror stories for failing to comply with e-discovery rules

Skeletor Costume HoodieProduct Sku: MOTU056
$ 80.00
- This Skeletor costume hoodie is available exclusively at 80sTees.com! Our Skeletor hoodie design was based mostly on the original Masters of the Universe action figure instead of the He-Man Filmation cartoon version. We chose the action figure because it had much greater detail than the cartoon Skeletor.
The hoodie comes with a detachable armor belt to fasten around your waist just like the one Skeletor wore. We used metal rivets to add detail at the end of each armor strip on the detachable armor as well as on the shoulder epaulets. The bat logo that is featured on the action figure has been sewn directly into the chest armor. The famous crossbones are also right in the center of the chest. The bottoms of the sleeves mimic the gills found on the arms of the original action figure. Finally, the back of the hoodie looks just like the action figure as well, with appliqued armor straps and metal grommets for the ultimate bad-guy look.

By Marsha Thompson - bio | email
Shoppers turned out en masse Friday for holiday shopping in Jackson. And a celebrity took center stage at Mistletoe Marketplace. Peggy Fleming an American figure skater and commentator on figure skating for over 20 years was speaker for a luncheon.
She focused on living a healthy lifestyle. Fleming was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998. Fleming encouraged the audience to take charge of their health by getting regular checkups. Fleming's cancer was detected in its early stages, and surgery was successful. She became a breast cancer activist who recommends not procrastinating and early detection.
"I just want to make sure people take charge of their health. Don't procrastinate about making your check up appointments every year. Getting your mammogram every year and getting your self breast exam. Those are the tools for early detection," Fleming stated.

Under the terms of a preliminary settlement agreement, [Timberland and e-commerce company GSI] will pay $7 million into a cash fund to reimburse those who received the messages, according to KamberEdelson LLC, one of the law firms that helped bring the suit.
There's four things we say over and over to readers writing in with problems who have gotten their legitimate claims spurned by regular customer service. They just keep working! They're EECB, Executive Customer Service, Chargeback and Small Claims Court. Inside, what these tools mean and how to get started using one.
Court: Tyson Can No Longer Claim Chickens Are "Raised Without Antibiotics"
Tyson Foods has 14 days to stop claiming that their chickens are "raised without antibiotics." The deceptive nationwide campaign was brought to an end after rivals Sanderson Farms and Purdue filed suit claiming that all three poultry processors use antibiotics, and that Tyson was trying to steal an undeserved appearance of health.
UPS Breaks, Steals Computer
Nick paid the UPS store in Woburn, Massachusetts $600 to ship his computer with insurance to and from England. UPS smashed the computer somewhere along the way and insisted that Nick would need to wait 4-6 weeks for a decision on his claim. After a month, Nick called the UPS store and was told that they needed additional documentation. Another month later, Nick decided to get a new computer and asked for the damaged computer back so he could use it for parts, only to find out that the UPS store had inexplicably shipped it to headquarters, which then delivered it to a stranger in New York named Ken.
Apple Sued: New 20" iMac Screens Display 260k Colors, Not Millions
Anyone who has been on the receiving end of an Apple ad campaign in the past 10 years knows that they tend to play fast and loose with the truth in their ad copy. Their towers are the fastest, their laptop is the thinnest, their phone is the most advanced. With so many unchecked exaggerations, Apple sometimes comes across as the consumer electronics version of Donald Trump, augmented by killer industrial and UI designers. Now a law firm in California has filed a class-action suit against the company for misrepresenting its new 20-inch iMac models as being capable of producing millions of colors, when in fact they use a substandard el-cheapo screen that is nowhere near as capable as what's in the 24-inch models.
Dannon Sued Over Probiotic Yogurt Claims
A proposed class action lawsuit was filed yesterday in California against Dannon over the company's unsubstantiated claims that its Activia, Activia Lite and DanActive "probiotic" yogurts were healthier than regular yogurt.
What To Do When Your Luggage Is Hopelessly Totally Completely Lost
Here at Consumerist we get a lot of complaints that go something like this:
Why Are Insurance Companies So Interested In Your Car's Onboard Computer System?
Insurance companies are beginning to view the increasingly advanced onboard computer systems found on many vehicles as mini black-boxes. The data collected by the systems can help determine if a driver was speeding or driving recklessly.
It's done by capturing data about speed, braking and steering input from what is called an event data recorder. And it's going to get even more complex — already there are systems on some cars that warn when there's a vehicle in a car's blind spot, as well as anti-collision warning systems like the one currently featured in a Volvo commercial.
Help! Apple Denied My Class-Actioned iPod Battery Claim!
Apple hates fixing their bust-ass iPod batteries for free, even if a class action suit tells them to, but there may be a workaround.

Strange New World0 Reviews
Before arriving in Acid Tokyo, the vampire twins are on the run from Seishirou and they enter a new world. [Code Geass Crossover]
"Don't worry Kamui," the other boy said with a somewhat sad tone to his voice as he began stripping off his elegant clothing and donning the more simple yet stylish clothing of that world. "Seishirou-san isn't in this world."
"Don't say his name Subaru," the other twin coolly said. "You know I can't stand him."
Subaru gave his brother a gentle look and smiled; it was nice having someone be so concerned over him. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright," Kamui replied, immediately relaxing; he could never stay mad at his twin. "Lets just get out of this dump for now. Some sort of war happened here and this part of the city was destroyed. Things seem somewhat peaceful now but it'll be better once we get to the good part of the city. I have some currency for this world and the language is close enough to ones we've encountered before so there shouldn't be much problems while we stay here."
"Kamui...how did you get currency so fast for this world..."
Kamui gulped and turned away from his brother's face; although they were twins, they were fraternal and Kamui didn't want to look at those green eyes at the moment. At times his brother was far too kind for their species. "He was rich and won't notice that I stole from him."
"It's for our survival! We have to keep moving or the hunter will find us! I'm not going to let him get his hands on you!"
Leaning over, Subaru wrapped his arms around his brother's body. "It's alright, I'm not mad. I just wish you wouldn't do those types of things without telling me."
"I'm sorry," Kamui said, snuggling his head under Subaru's chin. "It's just I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
"I understand," Subaru replied, placing a quick kiss to Kamui's forehead. "Let's forget about it for now and use that money to find somewhere nicer to stay."
Kamui nodded his head and the twins pulled apart. Stuffing their old clothing into a bag, Kamui slung it over his shoulders and then began leading Subaru out of the ruined building and onto the disaster stuck street.
"How horrible," Subaru whispered, glancing around at the buildings; most were in rubble with only the odd one still half standing. "Do you know what happened here?"
"Some sort of conquest," Kamui replied with a shrug of his shoulders; he really didn't care. "A lot in this area is homeless; we should be able to feed off of them without concern while we're here."
Subaru silently nodded his head; he was a vampire after all and human blood was necessary for his survival. At least he didn't have to kill anyone to drink their blood.
"C'mon; the nice part of the city is this way," Kamui said as he began walking down the street. In the distance Subaru could already see the tall, majestic buildings of the untouched side of the city; clearly they were in a world with advanced technology and Subaru was confused why they would leave part of the city in such a mess.
While they walked, Subaru's heart began to ache; Kamui hadn't been exaggerating when he had said the place was full of homeless people. "Kamui..."
"It's not much further." Kamui grasped his brother's wrist and began tugging him towards the nicer part of the city. Knowing Subaru, Kamui knew that they'd end up there for hours if his twin decided to stop and try to help people.
"But can't we-"
"Look! I can see there's the elevated train that separates the two sides!" Dragging Subaru along, Kamui made sure they were soon on the other side of the city and away from the homeless people. "Lets find a hotel so we can get some sleep for a few hours before going out to get something to eat tonight."
"Alright," Subaru replied, his head darting around so he could get a look at the normal part of the city. There were hundreds of people around, walking about as they completely ignored the two strangers. Hearing snippets of conversations, Subaru realized that his brother had been right in that the language was understandable. Scattered around on various objects were 'Dead or Alive' wanted posters of a man dressed in black with a mask covering his entire face and Subaru wondered what they were about.
"I think I see a hotel this way," Kamui announced, dragging his brother once more before Subaru had a chance to read the wanted posters.
Stopping outside of the building, Kamui waited on the sidewalk while Subaru went inside. Past experiences had proven that Kamui, with his anger problem, wasn't the best with dealing with people so Subaru had started to solely deal with any transactions.
Strolling through the vast lobby, Subaru quickly realized the place was more high-class than the hotels they normally stayed at but it didn't matter, they would only be staying in that world for a short time while they rested as Kamui insisted on never staying in one place for very long.
"Seishirou-san..." Subaru mourned thinking about the man that had affected his life so much. He really wished Kamui would get over his issues with the man so they could stop running; it was hard being in love with a person whom your other half hated.
Thoughts of Seishirou drifted from Subaru's mind as he reached the front desk. To his surprise the woman there got a shocked look on her face when she saw him but then forced a smile. "Can I help you?"
"I need a room for two nights," Subaru replied while pulling out the money Kamui had given him, which the woman suspiciously eyed. From the way she was acting he wondered if she knew that world's version of him.
"All right," she replied and quickly began typing on her keyboard, acting like she wanted to get things over as quick as possible.
Subaru's curiosity finally got the better of him. "I'm sorry, but is something wrong?"
"We don't normally get Elevens staying here," she coldly replied, dropping the fake friendliness. "There would be a lot less trouble if they would stop granting honorary citizenship to you people."
A bewildered Subaru took the keycard she handed him and quickly retreated back across the lobby so he could find Kamui who was still waiting for him outside the building.
"Well...?" his twin asked from where he was leaning up against the building next to the doorway.
"Two nights, but..."
"But what?"
"Nothing," Subaru replied with a shake of his head; he didn't want Kamui to worry about the odd reaction he had gotten from the female employee; even before they had met Seishirou, Kamui rarely learned how to relax. "I'm just tired."
"Lets go inside and find our room then."
The twins turned to walk inside when out of the corner of Subaru's eye he thought he saw Kamui's double strolling towards them on the sidewalk while walking extremely close to brown haired boy.
"Get down!" he hissed as the two boys drew near, shoving his brother's face against his chest. His concerned however was unnecessary as the closer the other boy got, Subaru saw that although he looked similar to Kamui, he was not another version of his twin.
"We should find a place to get something to eat," Subaru heard the Kamui look-a-like was say to his friend. "Food has to be involved for this to be officially considered a date."
"Pizza Hut?" the brown haired boy asked. "I saw all the empty boxes at your place and I heard from Nanaly that you're collecting points for that Cheese-kun thing they have right now."
"Ugh, no," came the reply as the look-a-like got sickening look on his face. The conversation then grew softer as the two boys moved on, continuing their date.
"Sorry, false alarm," Subaru meekly said while letting Kamui up. "For a moment I thought I saw you."
"Better safe than sorry," Kamui replied as they entered the hotel, Subaru making sure to keep Kamui away from the woman at the front desk as they headed towards the elevators. "We've been lucky so far but we don't know when we could run into other versions of ourselves."
It didn't take long for the twins to find their room, a single bed suite; there was no point in wasting the money on a room with two beds, as they would end up sharing anyway.
"I wonder how long until nightfall," Subaru mused as he checked the blinds on the window to make sure no sunlight could get in and disturb their sleep. "The sun is still pretty high in the sky but we don't want to miss out on feeding tonight."
"It doesn't matter," Kamui replied with a shake of head as he sat down their bag and kicked off his shoes. "I won't be getting much sleep; it's too dangerous to relax with that hunter out there; he could arrive in this world at any moment."
Kamui flopped down on the bed and buried his face into a pillow. "I'm going to protect you Subaru. I won't let him take you away from me."
Joining his brother on the bed, Subaru curled up next to Kamui and hugged him. "I'm not going anywhere."
Although things were bound to change, as it was becoming increasingly difficult for Subaru to deny his feelings for Seishirou, there was one thing that wouldn't change and that was his love for his brother. He only hoped that one day Kamui would also find his 'special someone'.
Notes: - The world they arrived in is Area 11 from /Code Geass/.
-the wanted poster that Subaru saw was of Zero.
-The 'Kamui' look-a-like was of course Lelouch and Suzaku.

On Wednesday we went to HousingWorks Bookstore Cafe to see three amazing sci-fi authors, Andri Magnason, Sean Ferrell, and Stephen H. Segal, discuss their latest books. Intern Emilio Herce had some interesting thoughts about the event, especially about Magnason's novel LoveStar.
The hero of this novel, the eponymous LoveStar, has discovered a way for humans to communicate through brain waves. "How similar are authors to LoveStar's mad genius?" Emilio asks.
"Even outside of science fiction, a genre predicated on blurring the lines of identity, this this true," Emilio writes. "Writers give up health, happiness, and even sleep for the purpose of an idea, even allowing themselves to be defined by it. But even if you're not a writer, how much are each of us definable by the ideas that inhabit our head? This thought has now been implanted into my brain, that whoever I am at this moment can be measured by the thoughts and ideas currently monopolizing my head space, and it is one I cannot seem to shake."
If you're as fascinated as Emilio by these ideas, consider inviting Magnason to speak at your own event.
On Wednesday, Andri told this amazing story about how (paraphrasing) ten years ago he was living in the Reykjavik...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Lynnie Vessels, 53, and her mother Fran, 84, share a bond of survival. Their story is told in the first book Vessels has ever written. It's titled To Soften the Blow and it begins at their former home in Valley Station in 1967.
Vessels is the second youngest of six kids. Pictures of her parents seem to show a happy life, but the old photos are deceiving. By all accounts Ken Vessels, her father, was an alcoholic. His rage turned into abuse of his kids and Fran wanted a divorce. Then came the night of January 20th.
"I had no idea what happened. I was in a daze," Fran said.
"One of them came down here saying their father just shot their mother," neighbor, Bob Thrasher, said.
He recalled the horror that was witnessed by the children. Fran was wounded and her children pleaded for her life.
"My father was holding a gun on her and my older sister Mary, who was nine at the time, was standing 3 inches from the barrel of the gun and he kept saying, 'Get out of the way! I'm going to kill your mother, you kids are going to an orphanage and I'm going to jail for 10 years!' and she (Mary) jutted her chin up the gun and said, 'No!'" Lynnie said.
Mary broke her father's trance. He did go to jail, but only for a few hours.
"They said, 'What should we do? Should we press charges?' and she said, 'No. How am I going to feed my children? Let him out so I can feed my children,'" Lynnie said.
Fran went through dozens of surgeries, but her arm was left crippled from the shooting. Ken came in and out of their lives, but died nine years later from cancer.
"I always say my father died of shame," Lynnie said.
The violence of that night shattered their family and the shotgun blast echoed for decades. Lynnie dealt with years of hurt and anger in therapy.
"I'm worthless, I'm terrible, I'm fat, I'm ugly, I'm not this, I'm not enough and I'm stupid and then when I sat in all that silence all of a sudden I would hear this voice say, 'I am full of worth.'" Lynnie said.
It was a life changing realization. So she purged her past onto the pages of her book, for herself and for others.
"I want to get this into the hands of every educator in the world," Lynnie said.
It's a lesson about turning the negative into positive and making peace.
"It takes an incredible commitment to heal something really bad, so I did it," Lynnie said.
The first part of the book was written out of fear of a father and a husband, but even chaos has closure.
"Did I forgive him? Yes. Finally," Fran said.
Vessels now lives in Washington, DC and works as a teacher. She self published her book. For more information on Vessels, click here.

A deal between the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and labor groups on visas for low-skilled workers was supposed to clear a path for an immigration reform package in the Senate.
Instead, some business groups are grumbling about the deal and they're gearing up for a lobbying battle on Capitol Hill -- where powerful interests helped doom immigration reform over the same issue before.
On Wednesday, the construction industry was the first to go public, saying they are "deeply concerned" about the temporary worker program and that the cap on construction visas is "simply unrealistic and destined to fail."
Other industries are expected to make announcements opposing the deal in the coming days.
Several business lobbyists told POLITICO that many industries oppose the plan, but are hesitant to put out statements before seeing legislative language. Others have kept their powder dry because they worry about other key provisions -- like employer verification -- that are still under discussion.
(PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration deal)
Labor unions successfully lobbied to cap the number of low-skilled foreign workers allowed in the U.S. at 200,000. The construction industry, which has suffered high unemployment in the economic downturn, was specifically singled out with limits put on the number of visas that can be awarded to construction companies.
The chamber -- the lead negotiator for business -- released a statement after the deal became public this weekend that didn't fully endorse it.
"Ultimately the final decisions will be made by the senators involved," Randy Johnson of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said at the time.
(Also on POLITICO: Next immigration hurdle: Citizenship's fine print)
Chamber spokeswoman Blair Latoff Holmes said Wednesday, before the construction industry went public, that the chamber and AFL-CIO made clear to senators that there are areas of agreement and disagreement and that lawmakers would "presumably take that framework to help shape legislation."
"A temporary worker program is a critical component of comprehensive immigration reform because it will allow employers to fill jobs when American workers are not available," Latoff Holmes said. "We are pleased that a structure for a new lesser-skilled program is close to being finalized, and we look forward to seeing legislative language.
The deal would allow no more than 15,000 visas per year to be allocated to construction occupations, according to details of the plan circulated by the AFL-CIO.
The construction groups argue that the visa program for an industry that employs 6 million workers should be determined by market demand.
"A guest worker program that fails to provide a sufficient number of visas to meet market demand as the construction sector recovers will inevitably make it harder to fill critical labor openings and make it impossible to secure the border," the groups said in a statement.
The statement was signed by the Associated Builders and Contractors, Associated General Contractors of America, Leading Builders of America, the National Association of Home Builders, the National Electrical Contractors Association and the National Roofing Contractors Association, which represent all aspects of the commercial and residential construction industries.
The future flow deal was billed as the last major hurdle for the Gang of Eight to cross before putting out legislation as early as next week.
This isn't the first time that the program has held hostage the immigration overhaul. Senators had hoped to come to an agreement before the two-week recess, but could not after labor and business opposed the product. After days of working to get closer, it had appeared there was a final agreement.
But since key business and labor negotiators and lawmakers signed off on the deal late last week the response by the business community has been tepid at best.
ImmigrationWorks USA, a coalition of business groups, was one of the only others to comment. The group's leader Tamar Jacoby praised the progress, but also pointed to the size of the program and the construction industry provisions as problematic.
"The Republican Senators in the Gang of Eight did the best they could under the circumstances. But the deal is skewed by union demands - and several of its most ingenious, most thoughtful elements may not work as intended on the ground, primarily because the program is too small," Jacoby said.
International Franchise Association CEO Steve Caldeira also told POLITICO he is concerned about the size of the program and economic indicators used as triggers.
"Obviously we would like to see a number higher than 20,000 workers at the start of the program, particularly given the woefully inadequate 66,000 number in the H-2B program fills up almost immediately," Caldeira said, noting that is why moving the legislation through regular order is so important. "If Americans want the jobs that employers need to fill, they would be first in line to get them and there would be less need for foreign workers. But the need will always exist to some degree, and a guest-worker program that permits a market-based supply of lower-skill workers is essential. Without such a program, no immigration reform bill will be worthy of the name."

LAWTON, Okla._U.S. Representative Tom Cole is seeking his seventh term in congress this election year.
Oklahoma is known for its oil and gas industry, it's that industry that Cole says will grow over the next two years, as long as the federal government doesn't get in the way.
"We also have an opportunity in the energy area obviously to become energy independent. But I think we have a federal government that's going to make that more difficult rather than facilitate it," said Rep. Cole.
One out of every six Oklahomans live in poverty. Poverty, income inequality and the raising of the federal minimum wage have become national issues. Cole believes that minimum wage is a state issue, not a federal one.
"19 states have minimum wages that are higher than the national average or the federal minimum wage. Oklahoma does not. I really think, honestly, a one size fits all minimum wage doesn't make a lot of sense. The cost of living in New York City is a little different than Oklahoma City," said Rep. Cole.
The government shutdown in October was a so called sore spot on how productive Congress was being at that time.
"So Congress is being a little more productive right now, having messed up badly last fall, it's like a kid trying to make up a little bit for its mistakes. But next year, again the same issues will come back and confront us because some of these 'fixes' are nothing more than pushing them to early next year," said Rep. Cole.
Cole recently got a piece of legislation passed that keeps public funds from funding political party conventions.
So far one Republican, two Democrats, and one Independent have thrown their hat in the ring for Oklahoma's fourth district seat along with Representative Cole.

The fateful history of Fannie Mae: New Deal birth to mortgage crisis fall
Time: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Host: AEI.
The protagonist starts humbly, progresses in the world, survives various scrapes and threats, finally grows exceedingly rich, admired, feared, powerful and exceptionally arrogant. Then come the dizzying collapse and utter humiliation. Thus there is a classic rise, hubris, nemesis and fall. It could be a Shakespearean tragedy, but it is "The Fateful History of Fannie Mae: New Deal Birth to Mortgage Crisis Fail," a new book by James R. (Bob) Hagerty, who covered the drama of Fannie and related events from 2004–2010 for The Wall Street Journal. Hagerty will present his story of big-time government-sponsored finance, high and low politics, little-known history, colorful personalities, risk come home to roost and unintended consequences through the skillful lens of a veteran journalist. A panel of experts will then discuss Hagerty's book.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) announced yesterday that it will begin issuing the recommendation that parents should read aloud to their children from birth. This is the first time the Academy has officially weighed in on early literacy education. This new policy is part of a collaborative effort of the AAP, Too Small to Fail, Scholastic Inc., and Reach Out and Read to raise awareness among parents about early language development.
There are only 2,000 days between a child's birth and the time that child enters kindergarten, and 90% of brain development happens in those first five years. Early literacy is a crucial part of a child's development, and reading to children enhances vocabulary, builds important communication skills, and gives them the tools they need to be successful in school and in life.
But many low-income children are exposed to very little reading before entering school, and in fact, studies show that by age 3, children from more affluent families are exposed to 30 million more words than children from families receiving public assistance. Unfortunately, it's easy to understand how the achievement gap is evident long before children start school.
The AAP hopes to close this gap by asking its 62,000 members to become powerful advocates for reading aloud by encouraging parents each time they visit their child's doctor to read early and often.
According to the AAP, the effort takes a multi-pronged approach toward equipping parents with the best tools to ensure that their children are prepared to learn and ready to enter school:

By: Winnie Morgan, Faith Initiative Coordinator at Durham's Partnership for Children
Oxford Manor students and their families recently celebrated the end of the year tutoring program with CONDUIT (Churches of Northern Durham United In Intention) volunteers. At the event, families had an opportunity to register for YMCA Camp and learn about kindergarten readiness programs and resources. It was a fun time of celebration, recognition, and learning.
Students were given certificates that recognized their assets as well as gift bags, and a short entertainment program was presented by CONDUIT member Dorothy Clark. This was followed by bountiful delicious food for students and families including homemade yummy cookies. As families registered with Lakewood YMCA Summer Camp, I visited with families to see if they have preschoolers, particulary 4 and 5-year-olds who will attend kindergarten this fall or in 2015. I shared Blast Off to Kindergarten Kits and talked with families about how to help their children get ready for school. At the end of the event, each child got to select several books furnished by CONDUIT and the Faith Initiative for summer reading, including board books for the youngest children. It was a wonderful celebration and recognition as well as a time to discover new resources.
CONDUIT is a collaboration of seven congregations in Northern Durham that started in 1988. Their outreach ministry and efforts in working with Oxford Manor families have been exemplary and a great example of our faith community's work in Durham County.

Join Durham Public Schools and community members in addressing Durham's literacy crisis at the 2014 DPS Literacy Summit, this Saturday, May 3 from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm at Brogden Middle School (1001 Leon St.Durham, NC 27704). Across the state, schools are addressing the impact of the new Read to Achieve Law, which requires 3rd graders who are not reading on grade level to attend summer reading camps and face being retained. This will impact as many as 900 3rd grade students in Durham.
The purpose of the summit is to engage the community to support schools in improving reading skills. Volunteers from church and community tutoring, after school, summer, mentoring, preschool, and other programs are particularly encouraged to attend to receive training that can be put to use with children already being served.
Every attendee will receive training in the Big 6 skills that can be used to help Durham's Pre-K-3rd grade readers. These strategies and tools can be put to use through existing community work and by volunteering to be a summer reader for the DPS reading camps. Hundreds of volunteers are needed to make a difference for Durham's children!
Registration is requested, but not required. Breakfast, lunch, and childcare are offered, and Spanish translation is available. More information and online registration is available at http://www.dpsnc.net/programs-services/academics/literacy-summit.

The theme of the Week of the Young Child is "early years are learning years," and we are celebrating that this week by reading aloud to children throughout Durham.
This morning, Mayor Bill Bell made a guest visit to Another Beautiful Beginnings, a 5-star child care center owned by Dinah Parker, who is on the Partnership's Board of Directors. The children excitedly gathered around Mayor Bell, who encouraged them to participate by asking questions and making the books come alive.
The enthusiasm from both the children and the Mayor was unmistakable! Mayor Bell said that the children made his day, and it was a wonderful and enriching experience for all involved.
Our own Executive Director Laura Benson also read to young children this morning at Little People Day Care Center in an Early Head Start classroom. "Miss Laura" was a huge hit with the children! Other local leaders are reading in Durham Early Head Start classrooms throughout the week as well.
Durham County Library is also building a love for books amongst our youngest readers by hosting story times at Durham child care centers and encouraging library card registration. So far this week, they've visited Little People and Teddy Bear Lane, and they will visit Legacy (Grace Baptist) and Childcare Network #57 later this week.
Karlene Fyffe Phillips, Youth Services Administrator at the Library, knows that sharing the joy of reading is beneficial for adults too! As she said: "It was a blast! I found a 'helper' who was, without a doubt, ready for success in school and life. He helped me with letters, words, colors, sequence and singing in my Pete the Cat story. I can still hear him asking excitedly, 'What comes next? What comes next?'"
At the Partnership, we support literacy and encourage early learning through all of our programs, and particularly through the Holiday Book Drive with Barnes & Noble and our Readers as Leaders volunteer initiative. Reading aloud helps children acquire early language skills and is widely recognized as the single most important activity to increase early literacy. Reading aloud also helps children develop positive associations with books and learning, which helps build a stronger foundation for success in school and life.
Week of the Young Child (April 6-12, 2014) is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. A full listing of events is available here.

The beginning of the new year marked the close of our Annual Holiday Book Drive, which was a huge success again this year! For the eighth year in a row the Partnership teamed up with Barnes & Noble at the Streets at Southpoint to provide books to children in need across Durham County. From November 1st through December 31st, customers were able to purchase a book to be given to young children who might not otherwise have access to reading materials. This year, nearly 3,400 books were collected!
Partnership staff and volunteers have been hard at work organizing the books and distributing them to community agencies serving children in home visiting programs, social services, medical facilities, and a variety of family support and family literacy programs. The book drive is an excellent way to get books to the children and families that need them most, and we hope these books will help support literacy and foster a love of reading for Durham's youngest learners.
We are so grateful to Barnes & Noble at Southpoint for designating the Partnership as the beneficiary of their Annual Holiday Book Drive, and we extend a big thank-you to all of the community members who donated books for their generosity and continued support!

Last Friday, the Partnership collaborated with the Barnes & Noble at Southpoint to organize a Mad about Madeline Day. The day kicked off with a story time as children eagerly gathered around to hear a reading of the classic Madeline story by Ludwig Bemelmans. Children then put their creativity and dexterity to work by decorating French flags and coloring pictures of Madeline. They also enjoyed the Madeline's House Bean Bag Toss and getting their pictures taken with the beloved Madeline character, who appeared in full costume.
We were delighted at this fantastic opportunity to participate in the community's early literacy efforts. It was a joy to witness the children so engrossed in the story time and to see parents so engaged in developing their children's love of reading. To help parents develop a print-rich environment at their homes, we held two drawings to give away a collection of Madeline books. The winners have been notified and are looking forward to receiving their new books later this week.
The good news for those who could not make it on Friday is that there is still time to participate in our book fair. Barnes & Noble has generously agreed to donate a portion of their sales from September 27th - October 2nd. Simply take this voucher to any Barnes & Noble location or enter our Book Fair ID Number 11153129 when you checkout on the Barnes & Noble website.
We would like to thank all who attended for helping us make this event a success. We also offer a special thanks to Barnes & Noble for making our book fair possible and for their unmistakeable generosity!
