Why go?
A compact and hilly setting beside the ocean makes for some stunning scenery, the food's great, the nightlife is buzzing, there are good beaches nearby and a resurgent cultural scene, plus one of the most enchanting tram rides in the world – what's not to love?
Local hotspot
By day Bairro Alto, the 'Upper District', just east and uphill of the city centre, is a sedate residential neighbourhood but, come evening, the place bursts into life and its narrow streets are thronged with locals hopping between one-room restaurants, small bars and fado houses (restaurants with live fado music).
You probably didn't know
With some 2,800 hours of sunshine a year, Lisbon is Europe's sunniest capital. It also boasts the mildest winters.
Suggested reading
Pereira Maintains (1994) is the lyrical story of a small-time newspaper editor, struggling under the harsh political regime of Lisbon in the 1930s. It's beautifully atmospheric.
Things to do in Lisbon
Antiga Confeitaria de Belém
You can't visit Lisbon without gorging on pastel de nata – local custard tarts – and the best place to do this is the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém, the cafe that invented them. It sells up to 20,000 of them a day, bought takeaway by the half dozen in specially designed cardboard tubes, or delivered to tables that fill the labyrinthine interior of tiled rooms.
A Primavera do Jerónimo
You may have to wait on the narrow street outside A Primavera do Jerónimo until a table comes free (staff offer drinks to those in line), but it's worth persevering for good, hearty Portuguese home cooking, served in what feels like somebody's front room. Expect soup, meat and grilled fish prepared in a kitchen in open view. Space is a little cramped but it all adds to the conviviality. Find it in the Bairro Alto at Travessa da Espera. Closed Sunday.
Cervejaria Ramiro
Just north of the centre, near the Intendente metro stop, Cervejaria Ramiro is a Lisbon institution (it was founded in 1956) and is the place to indulge in seafood. Local specialities are fresh shellfish, particularly clams and percebes (barnacles). It's hugely popular with locals and visitors, so expect to queue for a table. Open from noon to gone midnight, closed Monday.
The food court at Mercado da Ribeira
Opened in May 2014, the food court at Mercado da Ribeira, Lisbon's main market hall, has quickly become the go-to destination for the city's foodies. It hosts some 35 kiosks serving regional specialities, from sardines to custard tarts, wines and chocolates, plus there are a clutch of restaurants operated by some of the country's top chefs. It's open daily from 10am until midnight (or until 2am Thursday to Saturday), and you'll find it at Avenida 24 de Julho 50, across from Cais do Sodré.
Rua Nova do Carvalho
The Cais do Sodré neighbourhood has recently transformed from dingy and down-at-heel to become a vibrant centre for nightlife. At the heart of it is Rua Nova do Carvalho, which has been painted all pink, and is where you find a bunch of cool music clubs, including Musicbox and Povo, as well as the sublimely quirky Sol e Pesca (Sun and Fish), a fishing tackle shop that is also a bar that sells canned fish to accompany the beer.
Portugal has always enjoyed strong links with Africa, something that is reflected in Lisbon's live music scene. Check out B.Leza, a legendary African club that moved into a new warehouse home near Cais do Sodré in 2012. It features acts from places like Angola and Cape Verde, Wednesday to Saturday from 10.30pm. Find it on Cais da Ribeira Nova, behind the central market.
Casa Independente
Another area on the up is former red-light district Intendente, now a hub of pop-up bars. Start exploring at Casa Independente, which is a decaying mansion (really!) overlooking the central square with a bar and café, and a host of small rooms to hang out in. It hosts regular gigs and DJ sets.
A Vida Portuguesa
For artisanal crafts head to A Vida Portuguesa, which stocks a wide range of beautiful and unique locally made items from soaps and olive oils to hand-woven rugs and furniture. The vintage packaging is especially charming. There are two branches: one near the Intendente metro and another more central at Rua Anchieta 11 in Chiado. It also has a stand at Mercado da Ribeira.
Single item shops
Once upon a time, Lisbon was divided into artisan sections, where you'd find clusters of shops selling one thing. That's no longer the case but you'll still find plenty of shops selling a single item, from tinned sardines to handmade candles, many of which haven't changed in more than 100 years. Check out Chapelaria Azevedo Rua, a wood-panelled hat shop on the corner of Lisbon's main square; Luvaria Ulisses, a bespoke glove maker a few streets away, that has been in business since 1925; the church-like Caza das Vellas Loreto, which has been selling handmade candles since 1789; and Conserveira de Lisboa, where Lisboetas have gone to buy hand-wrapped tinned sardines since 1930.
Tram rides
The first thing any visitor to Lisbon should do is ride the eléctrico 28 (the tram). It runs through some of the city's most historic neighbourhoods including Baixa, Chiado, Alfama and Graca, rattling up and down hills and squeezing between buildings. You can buy a ticket onboard or, if you are going to be using public transport a lot, invest in a Lisboa Card.
What country and western is to Nashville and jazz to New Orleans, fado is to Lisbon. It is the main cultural expression of the city, although when you hear it sung – full of anguish and pain – you can't help but think, "Why so miserable?" Experience it at a casa de fado (fado house), a restaurant where professional musicians perform; entry is free but you are expected to eat and there may be a minimum spend. Give Parreirinha de Alfama a try, owned by fado legend Argentina Santos. It's on the Beco do Espírito Santo, near the São Miguel church; dinner is from 8pm, fado from 9.15pm.
Museu Coleção Berardo
Not as well known as it should be, the Museu Coleção Berardo is a showcase for the collection of modern art, amassed by a former media magnate. It includes works by Picasso, Warhol and a host of other 20th-century luminaries; unsurprisingly it is particularly strong on local girl Paula Rego. It is out in Belém and is one of a cluster of important museums.

Skiers lost in weekend powder
Ideal snow to blame for search and rescue operations
Over the course of the weekend, 13 lost skiers were assisted after they went off marked trails at both Killington Resort and Pico Mountains, and the fresh snow may be to blame.
Skiers and snowboarders have been waiting for powder, and over the past week, they got it.
"It makes it so much easier. No rocks, no New England ice, it's great!" said Christopher Wilson, a snowboarder from Windsor, Conn.
This kind of snow makes going down the mountain smoother, but just like the 13 who wandered off the trail, it also tempts riders to venture out of bounds.
"It's different than skiing the trails, it's the lure of the less done," said skier Andy Kozak.
That mentality has emergency services concerned.
"It's that deeper snow, people ski outside the bounds, they go off the trails and that's where they get into trouble," said Sgt. Donald Patch of the Rutland State Police Barracks.
The Rutland barracks get calls from the Killington and Pico whenever a lost skier needs help. Troopers there say some do not realize the trouble they can run into once they chase off-trail powder.
"(Killington and Pico) are in a wilderness area where it's just miles and miles of just forest area and deep snow," said Patch.
Authorities urge skiers and snowboarders to stay on marked trails and to bring a charged cellphone. Out of all the weekend rescues, only one was not located via cellphone GPS capabilities.

PORTSMOUTH — With gusts blowing over the Piscataqua River, the flames continued to give numerous crews from throughout the region a difficult time fighting the blaze at this waterside residential unit.
Portsmouth Fire Chief Christopher LaClaire said the fire started in the chimney and that it was no where near contained. He said the fire is between the third floor and roof.
Portsmouth, Rye, Hampton, Dover, Rochester, Pease, Newington and Kittery, Maine crews were on scene.
As of 7:45 p.m., water was being sprayed on the flames and Portsmouth was using its water tower truck to fight the flames from above.
Although it is very difficult to see the fire and the work of the crews, a large crowd stood along busy Bow Street in the freezing temperatures to watch the scene unfold.
One injury unrelated to the fire occurred on Bow Street as an elderly woman fell on ice.

bronchitis bacterial vs viral - Top 3 Steps To Find The Remedy for Bronchitis Asthma
Top 3 Steps To Find The Remedy for Bronchitis Asthma
With more than 15 million people suffering from asthma, this disease can be a very serious and debilitating affliction. Asthma has a variety of different causes, one of them being
Increasing the humidity will help prevent dry throat and nasal passages, which will aid in increasing healing time. Other things that you can do are things like regulating your exposure to pet dander, which can trigger an asthma attack.
Bronovil Natural Bronchitis Remedy
Fast natural cure for bronchitis.
Formulated to Help Support:
Boost your immune system
Naturally relieve pain and fever
Stop persistent cough
Relieve lung inflamation
Prevent virus from attacking your lungs
Breathe easier
Feel stronger in no time
Great Product
Studies reveal that more than 90 percent of the people who contract chronic
comprise smokers. About 15 percent of the cigarette smokers are ultimately diagnosed with respiratory disorders charaterized by obstruction of the airways. Biopsies of bronchial samples of people who have quit smoking thirteen years ago still reveal persistent marks of bronchial inflammation.
Have you seen how asthmatics frantically gasp for more oxygen during asthma attacks? Indeed, it is normal that these and other COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) patients are the first candidates to breathe pure oxygen 24/7 to save their lives.
Applying the knowledge of knowing what are the 4 basic common factors together with an effective system – enjoy your life once again. About the Author:
Airway biopsies can reveal submucosal and mucosal inflammation, hyperplasia of goblet cells, and abnormal smoothness of the muscles on the small noncartilaginous air passage.
There are many, many steps, techniques and strategies, but I have highlighted 3 simple and easy steps for treating
bronchitis asthma
and you will find the relief that you are so earnestly seeking:
Causes of Chronic
Certain lifestyle habits such as cigarette smoking is mainly responsible for chronic bronchitis. People who live in highly polluted atmospheres also fall prey to this disorder. The above-mentioned factors weaken the lungs and the body's immune system to such as extent that the person is easily infected by bacteria and viruses that attack the respiratory system.
Let's take a look for the symptoms: a) Productive cough b) Pain in the chest c) Shortness of breath d) The inability to take in a full breath without coughing.
20-40 s of oxygen - people with poor health, but often without serious organic problems. 40-60 s - good health. Over 60 s of oxygen - ideal health, when many modern diseases are virtually impossible.
Electrocardiograms pinpoint distrubances, such as arterial fibrillation or flutter and atrial tachycardia having "P" pulmonale, in the supraventricular rhythm.
Typical results for the oxygenation test The first chapter of my book "Normal breathing: the key to vital health" is available on-line (www.normalbreathing.com/big-book-Ch1.html). It has a table with dozens of western medical references devoted to stress-free breath holding time. Russian oxygenation doctors accumulated even more clinical information. Doctor Buteyko and his medical colleagues found that the following relationships generally hold true:
These doctors refined the Buteyko oxygenation therapy and revealed numerous factors that improve our health (physical exercise with strictly nasal breathing; good posture; raw diets; cold shower; sleeping on hard surfaces; bare foot walking; prevention of mouth breathing, overeating, and sleeping on one's back, etc.)
More information about translated original Russian and Western research on breathing, health, how to improve one's oxygenation, and the Buteyko method can be found on my website www.normalbreathing.com
asthma does not have to be debilitating, it does not have to rule your life. Make responsible, rational decisions concerning proper treatment and care and you will be living a normal life in no time!
The ratio between the measured forced expiratory volume (FEVI) and the forced vital capacity (FVC) defines the severity of chronic
. One of the signs of severe and long-term chronic bronchitis is progressive decline of FEVI rates. Factors such as age affect the elasticity of the lungs due to which the pulmonary testing of most adults over middle age show a 30ml decline in FEVI. In addition, the blocking of the bronchi due to an increase in the production of sputum does not always indicate chronic bronchitis. Pulmonary testing documents the reversible characteristics of air passage obstruction, and this helps physicians properly diagnose this disorder.
Bronchitis asthma affects many people every day and, if you are one of them, there is hope for a remedy. Because the asthma is triggered by the bronchitis it makes finding a treatment for it much easier.
If you are a smoker, consider giving it up, at least until you get rid of the symptoms because if you suffer from asthma in any of its forms, a smoking habit is a terrible thing to have.
Allergies have also been linked to many respiratory diseases. Sinus, Asthma,
are some diseases that are caused by allergies. Allergies can be managed by taking precautionary measures. Some allergic reactions can be very bad. Allergies can also be inherited like balding. Some people are allergic to specific allergens, some to soy, milk, fish etc. Like adults, children and infants are also allergic to certain substances. Cows milk allergy is very common in children. If a child is allergic to cows milk, as a substitute they are provided soymilk. More than 50% of children develop allergies to soymilk.
Allergies due to dust and pollution are very common nowadays. The dust particles enter the nose and make a person sneeze. It could also lead to other diseases like
and asthma. Allergies due to pollution, candle smoke, incense stick etc could create various upper respiratory problems. People with upper respiratory problems have itching in the throat and ear also. Breathing difficulty could also exist. At home, dust particles in the mattress, pillows etc could also lead to allergies. Even domestic cats and dogs hair could lead to allergies. Consult your physician if you are allergic to any substance immediately.
A sample of arterial blood is taken in order to do a blood test, which can determine conditions such as mild polychthemia. Chest radiographs reveal conditions such as blebs, diaphragmatic flattening, peribronchial markings, hyperinflation, and bullae. However, the test results cannot be taken as final proof of the existence of chronic
Step 3: Get Ready To Fight the Ailment Getting ready to fight this beast is to know its orgins.
asthma is not an unconquerable beast. Once you have identified the illness and the cause of the illness it is time to make some changes.
Chemical exposure, long term exposure to dusty environments, cigarette and cigar smoke, and other airborne pollutants will cause the bronchioles to become inflamed, resulting in bronchitis asthma.
Getting This Equipment To Relieve The Symptoms Use the onset of
bronchitis asthma
as a motivator to kick the habit. You can also help relieve the symptoms of
asthma by buying a humidifier for your home.
One of the manifestations of chronic bronchitis is a productive cough accompanied by phlegm, which obstructs the free flow of air in the bronchial tubes. Chronic bronchitis is a long-term disorder that can last as long as two years. It is the fourth largest killer in the United States of America, and around ten million people fall victim to this disorder every year. About 40,000 deaths due to chronic bronchitis have been recorded annually. It is considered to be the most common chronic obstructive pulmonary illnesses (CODP).
Finally, cancer has cellular hypoxia as its key cause. Nobel Laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg, in his article "The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer", published in 1966, wrote, "Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. Almost anything can cause cancer. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen (oxidation of sugar) in normal body cells by fermentation of sugar..."
For the first time in the history of medicine, a group of about 200 doctors, after studying and curing thousands of patients, suggested the standard for ideal health (60 s of oxygen) that provide guarantee from such chronic conditions as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, COPD, arthritis, and many others.
Dr. Artour Rakhimov is one of the leading world experts in self-oxygenation, breathing and the Buteyko oxygenation medical therapy. He is the author of books and the educational website http://www.normalbreathing.com devoted to natural self-oxygenation, breathing education and breathing retraining.

1-10 s of oxygen - severely sick, critically and terminally ill patients, usually hospitalized. 10-20 s - sick patients with numerous complaints and, often, on daily medication.
Sputum culture is done in case of patients who have not been hopitalized but display acute exacerbations of chronic
. It is one of the methods used to determine the requirement for antibiotic therapy. Protected-tip sputum cultures are done in case of patients who are in hospitals especially if atypical organisms are suspected to cause the excarberation.
However, many asthmatics sometimes tend to forget that even though there may be easy 3 steps to relieve their bronchitis asthma, they should be be conscious and aware that in order to have an asthma-free lifestyle, a proper and yet effective asthma recovery system is necessary. Even without a proper asthma management system, there will not be much asthma free lifestyle to hope for.
This test became the main measuring tool for about 200 medical professionals who taught the Buteyko self-oxygenation therapy to hundreds thousands of Russian patients with asthma, heart disease,
, and other conditions. The Buteyko method has over 40 year history of clinical use in the USSR and Russia.
Tests to Determine Chronic Bronchitis A series of tests are necessary to determine a variety of factors. Needless to say, testing is also essential to make a correct diagnosis of the condition. The results of tests also confirm the extent to which the air passages are obstructed. Some of the tests include pulmonary function testing, blood tests, chest radiograph, electrocardiogram, biopsies, and sputum cultures.
Step 2: How To Find the Cause Before you can begin to find the cure for the
asthma, you have to first find its cause. What is it that is aggravating and forming the foundation on which the

Allergies are one of the leading causes of diseases in USA. The annual amount spent on allergies in USA is $18 billion. Allergies could get complicated and even ruin a person's life. Allergies generally mean over reaction or hyper sensitivity to a certain substance or product. The substance could make a person sneeze, wheeze or create rashes etc.
Methods of Managing Chronic
Two methods of managing chronic
are in vogue at present--inhalation of ipratropium bromide and treatment through sympathomimetic agents. Theophyllinne is also an important therapy, but its uses are limited to a certain cases of the disorder. Patients who exhibit a remarkable improvement in airflow are not given any steroids. Antibiotics have a crucial part to play in the battle against acute infections. Supplemental oxygen is given to those patients who experience difficulties in breathing. Patients are also strongly advised to quit smoking for good, take plenty of nutritional supplements and fluids, and perform exercises to strengthen their respiratory muscles.
Even though you may now know the 3 easy steps to relief your
bronchitis asthma
indoor and outdoor, however, with all these information available will be of no use if is not taken. Having the knowledge is not power, applying the knowledge is true power to free yourself the agony of having asthma again. You should never add to, or alter any component of your current asthma treatment without first consulting your physician.
Please Quit It! Even if you have quit smoking stay out of smoke filled bars, second hand smoke is more of an irritant than the filtered smoke that you inhale directly from the cigarette.
Mortality rate after the diagnosis of chronic
is fifty percent. The terminal event of chronic
is respiratory failure. Respiratory failure is due to bacterial infections characterized by purulent sputum, fever, and poor ventilation symptoms. The other factors responsible for respiratory failure are seasonal changes, infections of the upper respiratory system, medications, and prolonged exposure to polluting and irrtating agents.
Tests conducted on patients suffering from chronic bronchitis reveal yet another disturbing factor--the presence of three varieties of bacteria: Moxarella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
High level of blood lactate (a sign of anaerobic metabolism) is among main features for diabetes, chronic fatigue, bronchitis and many other conditions.
Hence, abnormal oxygen transport is the typical and indispensable feature for chronic conditions. How to measure body oxygen content? While measurements of tissue oxygenation require special equipment, you can do a simple test that is very sensitive to tissue oxygenation. Measure your breath holding time. How it is done? The prominent Russian physiologist who worked for the first Soviet spaceship missions Dr. KP Buteyko, MD was the head of the respiratory laboratory in the 1960s. He stated about 40 years ago, "Oxygen content in the organism can be found using a simple method: after exhalation, observe, how long the person can pause their breath without stress."
Poor tissue oxygenation is the typical feature for people with asthma, heart disease, chronic fatigue, diabetes,
, cancer, HIV, acne, infertility, and many other disorders. This is known to medical professionals, but you may guess about this fact too. Why?
You may know that the main test for heart patients (exercise electrocardiogram or Stress test) mainly reflects oxygenation of the heart and other muscles of the human body. No wonder, that agent 007, in the most recent movie "Casino Roayle", when he had a heart attack, also had very heavy breathing.
After your usual exhale, pinch your nose and count your BHT (breath holding time) in seconds. Keep nose pinched until you experience the first desire to breathe. Practice shows that this first desire appears together with an involuntary push of the diaphragm or swallowing movement in the throat. (Your body warns you, "Enough!") If you release the nose and start breathing at this time, you can resume your usual breathing pattern (in the same way as you were breathing prior to the test). Do not extend breath holding too long. This is the most common mistake. You should not gasp for air or open your mouth when you release your nose. The test should be easy and not cause you any stress. The BHT test does not interfere with your usual breathing.
Paul has been providing answers to lots of queries through his website on a wide variety of subjects ranging from satellite phones to acne. To learn more visit http://www.askaquery.com/Answers/qn612.html
Get an air purifier for your home. That will help to greatly decrease the amount of irritants floating around in your home. And finally, talk to your doctor about a medicine that may be right for you.
Step 1: To Recognize
Asthma There is a saying in many traditional, conventional treatment. Before you can treat or cure an illness you have to identify it so make sure that what you are getting ready to battle is actually the disease you are focusing, which in this case is

The uniform that Bill Mazeroski wore when he hit a walk-off home run for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the final game of the 1960 World Series has a new owner after an auction of the Hall of Famer's memorabilia.
Hunt Auctions said Saturday the collection took in $1.7 million, with the uniform commanding a sales price of $633,000.
Buyers also snapped up a bat and cleats from the epic Game 7, when his solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning brought the title to Pittsburgh.
SLIDESHOW: See the items from the Bill Mazeroski baseball auction
"To tell you the truth, I had that jersey and uniform in a safe place, and I saw it once in 53 years, and I just looked at it to make sure the mothballs were working and all that stuff, and nobody's been seeing it, and I just said, 'That should be out there for somebody to see,'" Mazeroski said when the auction was announced in September.
Other items sold at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory auction in Louisville, Ky., include six Gold Glove awards he won during the 1950s and '60s.
Mazeroski, 77, played for the Pirates from 1956 to 1972. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001.

|Lesson Author
Blacksburg, Virginia
Our oral tradition of telling ghost stories, with which most students are familiar, builds a useful bridge to the oral tradition of the ancient epic narrators. Students begin by examining ghost stories and brainstorming a list of qualities that make the stories vivid and interesting. They then use a literary elements map as they write a ghost story they have heard, but have never seen written, and then share their stories orally with the class. Finally, students explore the genre of epics and how they are related to oral storytelling. This lesson also includes support for English language learners.
Literary Elements Mapping: This online tool can be used by students to create a character map, conflict map, resolution map, or setting map, for stories they are reading or writing.
At a time when television and reading were unheard of, ancient epics entertained, they passed on the history of a place and people, and they taught behavior. Students with a sense of these goals in their own oral histories have a context for understanding such ancient epic writings. To feel that link even more powerfully, they need to hear the words of the epics. As Beowulf translator Kevin Crossley-Holland writes, an epic "should be read out loud-an epic in the oral tradition is never going to sit very easily on the printed page" (Miller 8). Enjoying ghost stores, particularly stories about a place that they know, helps students to picture ancient storytellers and their listeners as they gather around a fire to hear an epic. Hearing ghost stories also helps them to appreciate a good storyteller. With the connections between ghost stories and epics still strong in students' minds, you and your students can move directly to reading The Odyssey, Beowulf, or another epic after completing this activity.

Traditionally, Queens Boulevard is known as the Boulevard of Death, but of late the Department of Transportation (DOT) has its eye on Woodhaven Boulevard, the site of an ongoing, comprehensive traffic study.
The study, started in January of 2008, will be completed sometime in the spring of 2010. Its goal is to identify ways of improving traffic flow and pedestrian safety on a 3.2-mile stretch of Woodhaven Boulevard, from Liberty Avenue to Queens Boulevard.
At an August 25th Project Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting, DOT officials briefed community leaders on the study's latest findings.
The meeting was closed to the press, but sources in attendance provided this paper with documents from DOT's presentation.
The DOT is studying 16 major intersections in Community Boards 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10.
They include, from south to north, Rockaway Boulevard, Jamaica Avenue, Myrtle Avenue, Union Turnpike, Metropolitan Avenue, and Eliot Avenue, among others.
The study found that southbound traffic volume on Woodhaven Boulevard "increases significantly" at the Long Island Expressway interchange.
After the LIE, traffic volume remains approximately constant, with small spikes immediately preceding Metropolitan Avenue, Union Turnpike, and Rockaway Boulevard.
Traffic in the p.m., or after noon, increases as well.
The study discovered that the volume of northbound traffic "decreases significantly" at the LIE interchange, and remains constant thereafter. Northbound traffic is highest in the a.m., or before noon.
Travel times for northbound cars along the 3.2-mile stretch averaged 10.2 minutes before noon and 12.8 minutes afterwards. On Saturdays, the number dropped to 9.2.
Speeds ranged between 12.9 miles-per-hour and 22.8, depending on the time and day.
Southbound cars averaged 12.4 minutes per trip in the a.m., and 14.0 in the p.m. That number dropped to 10.5 on Saturdays.
Speeds going south ranged from 15.4 miles-per-hour to just over 20.
While the average time it takes cars to travel that distance along Woodhaven Boulevard is low, considering drivers pass through several crowded neighborhoods - from Ozone Park to Elmhurst - the study identified several contributing factors that point towards more congestion, slower commutes and more accidents in the future.
Out of the 16 roadways feeding onto Woodhaven Boulevard under review, DOT found that nine are currently congested as they approach Woodhaven.
If no traffic improvements are made, DOT predicted that number would rise to 12 in the future. The department did not say when this would happen.
Additionally, and perhaps most alarmingly, DOT cited data showing that the number of reportable accidents increased steadily from 2004 to 2006, the last year for which there are statistics.
In 2004, there were 136 accidents. By 2006, that number had risen to 197. The accidents resulting in the most severe injuries occurred consistently at Jamaica Avenue, Union Turnpike, Metropolitan Avenue, and Queens Boulevard.
Not coincidentally, the Queens Boulevard intersection was found to have the highest pedestrian volume.
The study identified a wide range of existing conditions contributing to the rising accidents and traffic congestion.
These included "failing conditions," "closely-spaced intersections" and poor signage; a recurring bottleneck at the Long Island Rail Road overpass; the use of Woodhaven Boulevard by truckers as an alternative truck route; the use, also, of the thoroughfare by individual drivers as an alternative rout for the Van Wyck Expressway; and finally, among many others, a "lack of pedestrian amenities," and "vehicle-pedestrian conflicts."
Vincent Arcuri, chairman of Community Board 5 and a member of the PAC, said addressing traffic and pedestrian concerns at the same time is the principle challenge DOT will face in coming up with a comprehensive solution.
"They're going to have to choose," Arcuri said, "or maybe compromise between pedestrian traffic and vehicular traffic."
Arcuri said slowing traffic along Woodhaven Boulevard to accommodate pedestrians would likely force drivers to take alternate side streets, increasing congestion in residential neighborhoods.
On the other hand, Arcuri said, improving traffic flow to break up congestion might increase the likelihood of more pedestrian accidents.
In an email statement, a DOT spokesman said the city is considering a variety of improvements. These include high-visibility crosswalks, refuge island, signal-timing modification, and turn restrictions, among others.
The spokesman, Scott Gastel, said one possible long-term solution would be a Bus Rapid Transit system.
The study is scheduled to be completed in 2010. Before then, two more public meetings and two PAC meetings will be held. After the study is finished, a community board meeting will be held to discuss future options for the boulevard.

(CNSNEWS) — If you read this column very often you know the frustration and disgust I feel for our government, their profligate spending, their all consuming passion for self-preservation, and the inevitable fall at the end of the ruinous path they seem so determined to force this nation down.
You know I'm deeply concerned about the rapid erosion of personal liberty and our president's cavalier attitude toward the Constitution and consolidation of power into a monolithic central, federal government, a bureaucratic nightmare that makes and enforces the rules, controlling even the administration of health care and the curriculum our children will study in school.
WND Note: Join Charlie Daniels and some of America's top patriots looking to save the nation's sovereignty from looming world government in the bestselling DVD, "Behold a Pale Horse: America' Last Chance."

I fear the rampant apathy and lackadaisical work ethic of the entitlement society will become so deeply ingrained in the coming generations that the nanny state policies of this president and others like him who are likely to be elected will gradually drain the wealth and the will of the population until the well is bone dry and the confusion and anger of those who are suddenly left to fend for themselves will overrun the streets of this nation resulting in chaos and bloodshed.

About Us
Founded in 1992 by Peter Loughrey, Los Angeles Modern Auctions (LAMA) is the first auction house to specialize in selling 20th century Modern Art & Design.
Auction Day, February 23, 2014 Modern Art & Design Auction
In 1995, Shannon Loughrey joined husband and business partner Peter Loughrey in leading Los Angeles Modern Auctions (LAMA) to become a pioneer in the industry. With more than 25 years of experience, Shannon's acute business sense and deep familiarity with Modern art & design have helped elevate LAMA to its position as a trusted authority within the contemporary marketplace. As President of LAMA, Shannon continues to cultivate a loyal following of dedicated clientele, maintaining her involvement with the Los Angeles arts community and beyond through her roles as a Getty Research Institute councilmember and member of the Decorative Arts and Design acquisitions committee for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Peter Loughrey, an established curator, trusted consultant, and a well-recognized expert in Modern Design & Fine Art, founded LAMA in 1992. He was a prominent figure in the Los Angeles Modern Art & Design community through his involvement at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Getty Research Institute. He was a repeat appraiser on PBS's "Antiques Roadshow". He was featured on Forbes' "Sold!" on Ovation TV, Fox Business' "Strange Inheritance," and Fortune.com. In the design community, Peter co-curated many Los Angeles gallery shows, including Gio Ponti: Furnished Settings & Figuration (2004) and Dutch Design (2005), both at ACME Gallery, in addition to co-curating and publishing the exhibition catalogue for Gaetano Pesce: Pieces from a Larger Puzzle at Los Angeles's Italian Cultural Institute (2010). In September 2017, Loughrey curated a show as part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a Getty initiative, on Emerson Woelffer. He has also written numerous articles and was a contributor in the books Case Study Houses (TASCHEN 2003), Julius Shulman Modernism Rediscovered (TASCHEN 2007), and Collecting Design (TASCHEN 2010).
Peter passed away from cancer on March 16, 2020.

During her tenure there, she curated "Simplicity and Surprise: The Utilitarian Beauty of Japanese Lacquerware" (2013), and was a contributing curator to "Kanpai: The Art of Drinking in Japan" (2014). She has also worked in the Publications Department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she contributed to the production of June Wayne's Narrative Tapestries: Tidal Waves, DNA and the Cosmos (2010), Contemporary Collecting: The Judith Neisser Collection (2011), and Hyperlinks: Architecture and Design (2011). An active participant in the art and design community of Los Angeles, Ms. Pazera is a member of the Avant-Garde Council at LACMA. She holds a master's degree from Sotheby's Institute of Art, London and a bachelor's from Scripps College, Claremont, California.
Carolina McConnell is the Managing Director of Los Angeles Modern Auctions. Ms. McConnell first gained exposure to the world of fine art during summers spent working at the Emily Amy Gallery in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. While pursuing an internship at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the Development Department, Ms. McConnell first identified her interest in the intersection of business and art. In 2013, Ms. McConnell joined the LAMA team as a client services representative, and has since advanced through a number of vital positions. She has overseen many facets of LAMA's expansion and enjoys developing new systems for management and organization. Ms. McConnell is passionate about LAMA's evolving identity and its role in supporting both artists and the art world. Ms. McConnell holds a bachelor's degree in art history and business from the University of Southern California and has been a member of the Avant-Garde Council at LACMA for over five years.
Joe Alascano manages shipping, preparation, and installation at Los Angeles Modern Auctions. Mr. Alascano's role at LAMA is a culmination of both his professional experience and personal interests. Prior to joining LAMA, Mr. Alascano directed van line logistics and operations for nine years, supervising nearly forty employees in delivery throughout the contiguous United States. Later, with a different organization, he also managed international shipping and receiving. In his position at LAMA, which he has held since 2012, Mr. Alascano appreciates the diversity of the materials and tasks which he encounters and welcomes the ever-evolving challenge of conceiving strategies to handle them. As an artist himself, Mr. Alascano is inspired by the works that surrounded him every day. Within LAMA's expansive repertoire, he routinely identities the same artistic techniques and structures that he often engages in his own public art practice. Mr. Alascano says that this exposure encourages him as it is a constant reminder that there is still room for artists to grow and flourish, especially in Los Angeles.

Biona Organic Dijon Mustard 200g
About the brand
We live, love and breathe organic
Built on an unwavering commitment to 100% organic, ethically and sustainably sourced food, Biona began life on a kitchen table in London over 35 years ago.
Noel and Donata started experimenting with simple home-made granola, which they packed and sold in their pioneering organic shop, Windmill Wholefoods. It was so popular, they quickly outgrew their kitchen table and so Biona was born.
Today, the Biona family are proud to bring more than 350 organic products to lovers of good food in 30 countries across the world. Which is why, every time you choose Biona, you choose a healthier future.
A vision of a better future through good food
Noel found his path to organic food, first through living off the land in a commune off the West Coast of Ireland (then owned by John Lennon), then later at Hill Farm, learning self-sufficieny and vegetable growing and selling.
He moved to London in 1976 and raised enough funds to open a pioneering shop in 1978 - Windmill Wholefoods on the Fulham Road, which he quickly expanded to found one of London's first ever vegetarian restaurants two years later.
When Noel met Donata, a reflexologist and passionate believer in healthy food and lifestyle, a new and exciting partnership began.
From the early days of sourcing inspiring products for the shop and restaurant and making granola at the Windmill kitchen table, to the global family of organic food brands they still run today, (with the help of their Children, Amy and Elisa), some 35 years later, they have remained true to their vision of a better future through good food.
From our own Biona production factory and our soon-to-be brand-new-offices and experimental demo kitchen (using sustainable energy) to our long-term partnerships with other trail blazing organic companies around the world, we strive to continually evolve to bring you better food and more choice, whilst never straying from our uncompromising mission of a healthier future for all.
We believe in 100% traceability for each and every product
Healthy food has its roots in healthy soil. Which is why at Biona Organic, we continually reinvest in the organic farming industry.
Whatever the crop, our farmers never, ever use chemical pesticides and herbicides or grow genetically modified crops. And because we believe in 100% traceability for each and every product, we know all our ingredients are of the highest standard, completely natural and suitable for vegetarians (and often vegans too).
Every single product we offer, has its own story. And because of our relentless attention to detail, every step of the production process is carefully managed to ensure nothing but love and mother nature go into Biona Organic foods.
We hope our story is really the story of the change you can make in the world when you follow your instincts. We want to thank you for following your instincts here.

HMRC has confirmed that digital reporting requirements will be relaxed during the first year of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT-registered businesses.
From April 2019, businesses with annual taxable turnover of more than £85,000 will be required to maintain digital records for VAT and submit quarterly returns alongside the annual tax return.
Under the requirements of MTD, any transfer of data between software programs must be carried out using a digital link.
However, for VAT periods commencing between 2019/20, businesses will not need to have digital links for all software, and will be able to manually transfer or cut and paste their records instead.
This does not include the submission of the VAT return itself, which must be shared with HMRC using an application programming interface (API).
In December 2017, HMRC said it anticipated there would be a "soft landing period without application of record-keeping penalties" in 2019/20 to allow businesses to adjust to the new system.
John Cullinane, tax policy director at the Chartered Institute of Taxation, said:
"It would have been completely inadequate for the law to require you to do one thing, but then for HMRC to say informally that they would not enforce it.
"Most businesses want to comply with what the law requires them to do, and this approach from HMRC helps ensure that is the case."
Contact us to discuss MTD.

Sean Sherk is almost out of the woods.
The former lightweight champ today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the injuries which caused him to put his career on hold are lessening – to the point where he's back in the gym. And he now has a timeframe for return.
If all continues to go well, Sherk (34-4-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC) said a fight in the fall against a top contender – and a top contender only – is his wish.
"There's a lot of guys out there with momentum," Sherk said. "When I do get a fight scheduled, I want to fight someone who has a lot of momentum, who is a top contender, and somebody who has worked their way up the ladder."
Sherk mentioned Jim Miller, Clay Guida and Melvin Guillard as lightweights that fit the bill, though he has yet to hammer out a date for his next fight, let alone an opponent.
What's clear, though, is that his health isn't the roadblock it was at the start of this year, when he made the decision that he would no longer fight injured.
And that's a tough proposition for a fighter with 12 years in the business. Sherk said he's had just about every injury a fighter can have going into a fight: dislocated fingers and toes, torn shoulders and knees, and popped ribs. In his most recent fight, he squared off against the fast-rising Evan Dunham at UFC 119 after a 16-month period of rehabilitation. He won by a narrow split decision.
Afterward, though, he made his resolution to stay out of the cage until healed.
Now that he's close to that point, he wants to make the most of his remaining time in the fight game.
"I feel that I'm at the top of the food chain in the UFC still," he said. "I have been for a long time, longer than anybody in my division. I've been at the top of the food chain in two different weightclasses.
"So if I fight somebody, I want them to have something to offer me. That's all I want."
Teammates Guida and Guillard were victorious in bouts at The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale and UFC 132, respectively. Guida defeated would-be lightweight contender Anthony Pettis while Guillard knocked out Shane Roller. Miller, meanwhile, meets former WEC champ Ben Henderson at UFC on Versus 5.

Homegrown Produce
At McKee's we raise Our Own Beef ,Chicken and Collect Our Own Eggs each day from Our Free Range Hens. Why do we do it? Simple – you just can't beat home-grown, and the flavour and texture makes all the hard work worthwhile. Our customers care about the origin of their food, and we know that home-grown is best. We have a number of trusted local growers who supply our veg and seasonal fruit. This is County Down food at its best.
Morning, lunchtime and late afternoon we have something for every taste. Our huge cinnamon scones are legendary and you can see them being carried from the oven every day. Looking for a modern healthy twist on the Ulster Fry? We've got it covered. Soup, sandwiches, or something more filling, or maybe your sweet tooth needs daily attention.

We're always in demand so please enquire early for available dates.

We are proud to say that we believe we have some of the best chefs in Northern Ireland on our team, and we allow them space to be creative, coming up with new dishes to delight our customers. Trained chefs turn quality home-grown produce into something special.
McKees Favourites

Our delicious sausage & mash, our traditional dinners and our home-made mince, steak or chicken pie are big favourites with our customers.
Our Specialities
Whilst all of our food is excellent, there are some which are supreme. Even though McKee's is a family farm, Our Fish Cakes won a 2013 Great Taste UK Gold Award – made from fresh Portavogie Seafood. And if you don't mind us bragging for a moment, Our Rib-Eye Steak, from Our Own Home-Reared Cattle, is exceptional.

"Kids' Informal Learning with Digital Media: An Ethnographic Investigation of Innovative Knowledge Cultures" is a three-year collaborative project funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Carried out by researchers at the University of Southern California and University of California, Berkeley, the digital youth project explores how kids use digital media in their everyday lives.

We are happy to announce the online release of the findings from our three-year project. All of the researchers who have worked on this project will be writing up individual publications, but this report represents a synthesis of the findings across the 22 different case studies. It has been over three years in the making, and is the result of a truly collaborative joint effort with 28 researchers and research collaborators. I am super proud of my team for doing such a phenomenal job with their individual projects, and for their generosity in sharing their work with this collective effort. It's very rare for ethnographers to collaborate at this scale, and we see this project as testament to the fact that large scale collaboration and joint analysis is possible with qualitative work.
Special thanks goes to the MacArthur Foundation who funded this work, and in particular to our program officer, Connie Yowell, who has been together with us in this journey every step of the way. It has been such a pleasure working with a foundation that has been so forward looking in engaging with an emerging media landscape, and willing to take the time and invest resources in understanding things from the point of view of a rising generation. Since we started this project, the Digital Media and Learning initiative at the foundation has expanded from an experimental foray to a $50 million effort encompassing dozens of projects. It is exciting to see that our work is not just an isolated project, but part of a much larger initiative that is linked to some of the most interest scholarship and educational efforts in this new field.
You can find all the details in the documents linked below, and a summary of our report. The book is due out from MIT Press next fall, but in the meantime you can read a draft of it online.
We will be celebrating the release of our report at a reception at the American Anthropological Association meetings in San Francisco. Please join us on Saturday November 22, at 6:30-8:00pm, San Francisco Hilton & Towers, Golden Gate Ballroom.

Today we are commemorating a bittersweet day. A year ago today we lost our dear leader, Peter Lyman, to a heroic battle with cancer. It is hard to be believe that the time has passed so quickly, as he feels very much present to us all here in the digital youth team. It feels fitting to acknowledge this passing of time and the memory of Peter on a day that marks the ending of our shared project together, and the completion of our final report.
We have spent the past year working on a massive collaborative writing and analysis effort that has resulted in a book manuscript, dedicated to Peter, that we are tentatively entitling, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out: Kids Living and Learning with New Media. We have just finished the full draft, in tandem with our official project end on June 30. We plan to do a pre-release on the Internet here on this web site in early fall.
A paper for the 2008 annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association
For the past few years I have been looking for learning in somewhat unexpected places—in young people's social and recreational practices surrounding new media. I have been guided by the belief that interactive, digital, and networked forms of media are supporting new forms of engagement with knowledge and culture with unique learning dynamics. My fieldwork is indicating that a key trigger for these learning dynamics is the peer-to-peer traffic in media and knowledge that accompanies young people's engagement with culture and knowledge that they are passionate about. As they become more pervasive in our everyday lives, networked and digital media become a vehicle and an infrastructure for this peer based learning and sharing.
My work has looked primarily at the kid-driven learning that accompanies engagement with Japanese popular culture that is social, challenging and entertaining, for example, Yugioh, Pokemon, fan fiction, video remix, and fan comics. These forms of media all support practices with learning dynamics that differ in some important ways from the learning that kids encounter in more formal and adult-driven settings. A more complete analysis and description of these dynamics requires lengthier treatment (Ito 2008). Here I present a few general principles and some illustrative examples from my most recent fieldwork.
By Sarita Yardi, PhD Candidate, Georgia Tech University. Sarita was a researcher with the Digital Youth Project while completing her Master's degree in Information Management and Systems at the University of California, Berkeley in 2005 and 2006.
As has been well-established throughout the research on digital media and technology, kids move between online and offline worlds with ease. Even kids who have limited access to the Internet, thus lying on the fringe of youth participatory culture, perceive their online environments to have real consequences and meaning for their everyday lives, Throughout my research on the digital youth project, I wanted to understand how we could harness kids understanding and enthusiasm for digital media. As a computer programmer myself, I hoped that encouraging kids to open the black box and explore the environments they participated in might help them become more sophisticated producers and consumers of their everyday media engagements. In 2005- 2006 I carried out a semester-long study of an after-school media literacy program with Sarai Mitnick [1]. We partnered with the YWCA in Berkeley, California, a program designed to empower middle-school aged girls by teaching them to program, design websites and discuss the role of technology in their lives. The program catered primarily to young African-American girls who lived in an economically disenfranchised area of Oakland, California [2].

Along with several other DigitalYouth-ers, I spent almost a year, off and on, observing and participating with a group of kids in an arts and technology afterschool program (hereafter 'the Center'). During my time with the group, kids sat down together many times to work on collaborative projects. Sometimes they did so at the behest of their instructors and other times on their own. This story, however, is about a different kind of collaboration, one which sprung up spontaneously and serendipitously around creative practice. It represents, I think, an enlightening case study in the synergy of digital technologies and co-located collaboration.
The setting for this vignette is a long narrow room, windowed on one side, packed full of Apple computers. The machines are arranged around the outside walls and in the center in clusters of 4 (Figure 1). At one end of the room sits a restless crowd of participants, aged 11-17, who have chosen to spend their afterschool time at the Center learning about digital audio and video. Today, the exercise is to experiment with a software called GarageBand. GarageBand is a simple but powerful graphical platform for creating music based on libraries of samples, sounds, and pre-recorded instruments. The kids have experimented with the software before – enough to eagerly anticipate one of their first full-scale music-making sessions.
The video of our forum at Stanford University, "From MySpace to Hip Hop: New Media In the Everyday Lives of Youth," is now online. We thank Global Kids for making the video of the event public on YouTube.
There are three videos in total. The first video features Julie Stasch, the Vice President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, who is introducing the forum.
The second video features researchers for the Digital Youth Project, including Mimi Ito who discussed Participatory Learning in a Networked Society: Lessons From the Digital Youth Project; danah boyd who focused upon Teen Socialization Practices in Networked Publics; Heather Horst who examined family dynamics in Understanding New Media in the Home; and Dilan Mahendran, who discussed Hip Hop Music and Meaning in the Digital Age.
The final video is a panel discussion featuring Dale Dougherty, General Manager, Maker Media Division, O'Reilly Media; Deborah Stipek, Dean, Stanford University School of Education; Kenny Miller, EVP & Creative Director, MTV Networks' Global Digital Media; Linda Burch, Chief Education & Strategy Officer, Common Sense Media and moderator Connie Yowell, Director of Education, The MacArthur Foundation.
The forum was presented by Common Sense Media, the MacArthur Foundation and the Stanford University School of Education.

In conceptualizing the media and information ecologies in the lives of University of California, Berkeley freshmen, classical adoption and diffusion models proved inadequate. Rather than being characterized by a few individuals who diffuse knowledge to others in a somewhat linear fashion, many students' pattern of technology adoption signaled situations where various people were at times influential in different ever-evolving social networks. I use the term techne-mentor to help to describe this pattern of information and knowledge diffusion. The term "technology" is generally thought to be partially derived from the Greek word, techne, which means craftsmanship. Mentor is a figure in the Odyssey who advised both Odysseus and Telemachus, and is the source of the modern use of the word, mentor. Techne-mentor refers to a role that someone plays in aiding an individual or group with adopting or supporting some aspect of technology use in a specific context, but being techne-mentor is not a permanent role. The idea of the techne-mentor is useful for expanding conversations about adoption patterns to one of informal learning in social networks.
On April 23, at Stanford, we will be giving our first major public presentation of the outcomes of our research. We are near the end of three years of ethnographic work on 22 different case studies of youth engagement with new media. The MacArthur Foundation and Common Sense Media are organizing the evening event (4:30-8:30pm).
It will include talks and poster presentations from four of our team members: Heather Horst, Dilan Mahendran, danah boyd, and Mimi Ito. There will also be a panel or respondents including Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media, Deborah Stipek, dean of the Stanford School of Education, Linda Burch of Common Sense Media, and Kenny Miller from MTV Networks. There will also be an opportunity to talk to all of the other researchers on the project and learn more about the various case studies. You can prepare for both small talk and big talk by reading some of our stories.
The event is public and you can see program details and register to attend this event (By April 18) at: www.eventsatcommonsensemedia.org
I spent some time at an afterschool media-technology program and one of the things I became curious about was how the kids there, all from lower income areas from San Francisco, learned to create their MySpace pages. Customizing a profile typically involves copying and pasting chunks of HTML and CSS code from other sites.[1]
Some of the code they are cutting/copying and pasting is code to make the profile look sleek or garish. Some of the code links to media, such as videos, of content found elsewhere, such as YouTube. At the program, I had a several chances to watch how kids quickly navigated web pages, found content they wanted, found the code, and stick it back on their own or their friends' MySpace pages. one of the teenagers told me that getting videos on his MySpace page is easy: "It's just cut and copy… cut and copy." I guess the pasting wasn't the important part here!

Springboro again considers teaching creationism
School board considering controversial measure
School board members will discuss Thursday whether children in Springboro schools should be taught creationism.
The issue was first raised in 2011, when the board president proposed adding the subject as an elective, but it was eventually shelved.
"I think creationism should be left to families to decide on how it's taught or if it's taught," said parent Colleen Bowman. "It's not the school's job, and there's a separation of church and state, so I'm not sure why it's even being discussed."
Some parents have suggested the issue was raised again as a distraction.
"We have much bigger issues going on in the Springboro school system with the teachers union and negotiations for a contract for teachers, and instead of discussing that, I feel the board wants to discuss creationism," said parent Jenny Nijak.
The board will discuss a proposed policy that would make controversial issues, such as sex education, legalization of drugs, abortion and gun rights, appropriate for school.
The teachers union was recently given authority to file a 10-day strike notice if contract talks fail, but creationism seems to be the biggest issue on the agenda for many.
"I don't think it should be forced on anyone, but I think children need religion in their lives," said parent Kellie Mappes. "I think it's important."
Only one of five school board members responded to a request for comment. Board member David Petroni said in writing that the goal of the policy is to encourage critical thinking, and not to force students to accept creationism.
The ACLU has sent a letter to the school district asking officials to drop the issue, which they called unconstitutional.

College Board Puts Spotlight on Needs of ELLs, New Kinds of Tests
From guest blogger Catherine Gewertz
The annual meeting of the College Board got off to an unusual start: with a high-profile session on English-learners' "right to rigor," moderated by none other than the organization's brand-new president, David Coleman.
The session, a panel discussion by three nationally known ELL experts, sent a bevy of potent signals to the field about the organization's priorities as new leadership takes hold. Not only do these priorities come straight from the top—as symbolized by Coleman's presence on the dais—but they feature a big shift in thinking about how to teach students who are learning English. (Video of the session is here.)
Coleman, widely known as the chief architect of the common standards in English/language arts, made it clear that the central place of "complex text" in those standards extends to English-learners. As many teachers already know—but too many still don't embody in their teaching—students learning English can be robbed of opportunities to grow when they are given watered-down texts in response to their still-developing English-language skills.
While the impulse to shift text complexity downward to meet students is understandable, Coleman said, he urged educators instead to teach deep, interesting, complex texts to their English-learners and meet them there with "artful scaffolding." He cast it as a civil rights issue, saying that "once the quality of texts shifts downward, there is no way out" for students, who are then trapped in lower levels of learning and can't catch up to their English-speaking peers.
He solicited the thoughts of Stanford professors Kenji Hakuta and Guadalupe Valdes, and UC-Berkeley professor Lily Wong Fillmore about the best ways to ensure that English-learners have the same access to the demands of the Common Core State Standards as do their native English-speaking peers. Their discussion ranged from handling complex text to plumbing the reasons why English-learners—along with low-income students and racial and ethnic minorities—often don't pursue academic challenges they are qualified to handle, and don't apply to or enroll in college as often as other students do.
Fillmore, a widely respected scholar on ELL issues, noted the importance of providing teachers training to teach the more complex texts to English-learners. The students, she said, can handle it.
"[ELL] children are well equipped to deal with complexity as long as teachers are given some of the training it takes to work with complex texts," she said.
Scaffolding is particularly challenging because it has to take into account the gaps in cultural and historical knowledge that students learning English can stumble over in the texts they are reading, said Valdes.
She told a story of a 10th grade student who had immigrated from Honduras only 18 months earlier and was asked to write an essay about equality based on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech and a quote from television talk-show host Jon Stewart that suggested there were no longer any racial or ethnic barriers to freedom in the United States. Valdes said it was impossible for this boy to navigate all the historical references and cultural allusions in those readings in order to write that essay; When she spoke to him after class, he said he thought Martin Luther King Jr. was British. So as teachers undertake the "complex text" demands of the common core, they must be trained to understand and deal with not just linguistic complexities in text, but cultural, historic, and other kinds of complexities there as well, she said.
The question of "undermatch" in college selection—what Coleman described as a "preoccupation" of this annual meeting—offered a glimpse of yet another area of complexity. He asked the experts what could be done about the phenomenon of students—particularly English-learners and Latinas—not attending college or choosing colleges that are far less selective than what they can handle.
Instead of a response about how to get students to choose more challenging colleges, however, Coleman got an earful from Fillmore about all the powerful and nuanced family dynamics that go into Latinas' college choices, and why undermatching "might not be so bad" in many cases. Not going to college at all is one thing, she said, but choosing a college that is less demanding than a student is qualified for could be a suitable and appropriate solution to a host of social and cultural factors, she said.
She spoke of a California student named Carolina, who had immigrated from the Mexican state of Michoacan as a toddler and had done well in school. She applied to a state university near her home, but chose to go farther away, to UC-Berkeley, because of its reputation and the scholarship it offered her, Fillmore said. But she struggled with little support, felt out of place, and missed her family. "It was as if she walked into a totally different world," Fillmore said, and she left after a year.
Less than two weeks into Coleman's tenure at the College Board, and undermatching—an area of special focus for the College Board, with new research about to be released—is put on display as a highly layered problem inclined to elude an easy solution.
Coleman asked the panel what the College Board can do to advance rigor for English-learners. Fillmore suggested using College Board data to highlight the districts that do well with those student groups. And she urged educators not to shortchange counseling as a powerful tool to help English-learners learn about and prepare for their future choices.
"Every student I've worked with has failed to get the kind of counseling early enough to make a difference" in their college trajectory, she said.
Hakuta urged the College Board to advance the view that bilingualism is a key 21st-century skill. Valdes urged Coleman to "rethink the SAT" so that it doesn't "overprivilege language." That doesn't just mean the ability to speak English fluently, she noted; it means being highly articulate. Some of the most brilliant people, who solve some of society's most pressing problems, she said, aren't the most articulate, and their skills—creative skills, hands-on skills—have to be recognized as crucial and tested as such. Tests need tasks that measure the strengths of "geeky students who don't talk well at all," Valdes said.
One of the most potent messages of the session was sent in response to audience questions. One teacher expressed worry about whether teachers would be evaluated for "teaching Latin or for teaching students." Without addressing how teachers should be judged, Coleman responded by discussing what tests should be. Assessment makers, he said, should design them as "work worth doing."
"You should hold us accountable for making assessments worthy of you and your best work," he told the teacher. He added that under his tenure, the College Board would be "hostile" to tests that fall short of this mark, tests that don't support "authentic learning."
I heard someone behind me say, for the second time during the session: "Wow."
It was a California teacher who conducts professional development for the staff at her school. She said she has been to many College Board forums, but has never heard such a high priority—and high profile—placed on English-learners, or heard assessment framed in the way Coleman had done.
"I'm thrilled," she said. "I'm really encouraged."
