The Shreveport Times Farm News Sunday, Feb. 13, 1972 Oil News Metropolitan News Classified Section C, Page One CMMC Laboratory Services Cut to Save Accreditation By Margaret Martin Times Medical Writer Laboratory services at Confederate Memorial Medical Center (CMMC) were cut last week to prevent disapproval of the medical technology program by the a c c r e d i t i n g agency, Dr. Warren D. Grafton, director of the program, said yesterday. The school has been criticized by the Society of Clinical Pathologists, the accrediting agency, for requiring stu-dents to carry a "significant share of the daily workload" of the laboratory. Routine work in the laboratory, said Dr. Colin R. Macpherson, chairman of the Board of Schools of the society, should be educational experience for the students, "and not cheap labor for the laboratory." The accrediting agency also said that in some cases "the students didn't have a total awareness of what they would be expected to learn in a particular section of the lab," Grafton said. Believes Problem Solved With a revised curriculum which spells out the details of student activities, the school director feels that criticism has been taken care of. He gave school officials 30 days to correct the deficiencies, and threatened recommending to the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association that "accreditation be with-drawn from your program." To become m e d i c a l technologists, s t u d e n t s attend college three years before serving 12 months of clinical t r a i n i n g at an approved hospital. Confederate is eligible for 17 students, but presently has only 12. The medical technology program is the fifth of Confederate's programs to come under fire in the last two years. The hospital itself was approved for only one year of accreditation instead of two by the Joint C o m m i s s i o n on Accreditation, and is scheduled to be surveyed again this year. The Department of Internal Medicine, the Pediatrics D e p a r t m e n t and the Department of Radiology are all on provisional or probationary status. The accrediting agency, Grafton said, was concerned about the students being required to collect blood each morning Monday through Saturday, and being required to carry a large share of the laboratory workload. Requirements 'Not Compatible' Discussing the collection of blood and the work load, Macpherson said "both of these requirements are not compatible with what the board regards as an acceptable educational program." "Certainly it is necessary for a medical technologist to learn how to draw blood from a variety of patients. "We certainly expect that the student will do this for two or four weeks or s o m e t h i n g of that nature, but is incompatible with education to demand this throughout the 12 months," the letter said. Defending the use of the students in the work load of the laboratory, Grafton said "we had no choice because we would not be able to offer the volume of work we do without this. "I mentioned this in the last budget request," he said. "I requested at least six different laboratory assistants and an equal number of additional technicians." Both Grafton and Hospital Director Dr. Edgar Galloway pointed out that even if money was available the Division of Administration in Baton Rouge has not approved any more slots in the laborato-r y department. "Every position is hired. We can't hire any more," Grafton said, and Galloway said "what can we do if there is no money? If we don't get money . . . and if we get the money I don't know we would find them. We can't try to recruit them unless you can offer them a job." A glimmer of hope was offered by Assistant Director Robert Hall who said that the Division of Administration does (participate in Emergency Employment Act Funds, "and if this occurs we could get 100 per cent funding." "This funding is very tentative," he said. And Grafton said "we had no choice but to remove the students from duties if we wanted to save the program." Reduction of Services "It amounts to cutting down on work we offer and we regret that," he said dejectedly. "Some of the services which we are able to offer as a routine service will not be available — or will be available on a limited basis," he added. "We will not be able to process specimens at night from the comprehen-sive care clinic. "We will no longer be able to do routine serum creatine, a test of kidney function," Grafton said. "We were doing routinely immunoglobulin profiles test for antibodies on newborns. This will have to be discontinued." "It may be that any test that comes down after a certain time — say 10 a.m. — we will have to wait until the next day to be able to do it," he added. Every section of the laboratory is affected, he said. (Times Photo by John A. Moore) Confederate's School of Medical Technology ...cut the services, save the program

Scribble sketchesssss
It'd be really cool if one of you guys readin' this could like.. give me an assignment lol. To see if I can get things done in a certain amount of time, you know. And I need things for a portfolio, but I always just do little sketches of things.. Not sure what to do big finished pieces of..
Thanks for dropping by in my sketchbook! I'm a bit uninspired myself so I can't really give you any suggestions, but do keep up the sketchings, they look very good and creative!
Sketchbook DeviantArt
@ Lhune - Thank you for the comment :]
Wow, your stuff is very creative, some really cool ideas. Hmm, but I think if you want to get better at drawing you have to start doing some drills (like drawing 30 hands then 30 eyes etc) that could be your assignment
@ Roboko - Thank you for the comment :] Started doing hands and feet
@ yyates05 - Hm...Might research into that, thank you
Burning paper is fun :]
As your only friend on CA I'd have to say you need to do draw less. Don't let conventional wisdom confuse you and destroy your natural ability to sleep for 23 hours a day.
"What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today."
"What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today."
@ geo5 - Soooo basically you're saying I need to draw more? Can't understand your psycho babble
Doodles n stuffy. Not doin so well at postin everyday :/
I can see that you have a healthy appreciation for all things weird. Your work is often fantastically, quite entertainingly surreal. It's good to see that you're studying figure drawing (do my eyes deceive me, or are those referenced from posemaniacs.com?), keep it up.
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...33#post2548933 I have a sketchbook.
@ Basham - Haha, thank you, i do seem to veer toward weird things And yes those are posemaniacs XD
Anyone got any brutal honesty to dish out for me, pls?
Well, your brain must be awesome because I really like your weird stuff.
As it was already said before, you might want to work a bit more on your anatomy though - it looks good in the studies but it seems like you are forgetting the things you already know when you're drawing from imagination.
I'm looking forward to see more weirdness from you.
@ Fliegenpilz - Thank you so much for your comment You are right, I need to incorporate my studies into my imaginative stuff more
Heya you really get mad when drawing eh?
Nice keep it up that's the spirit!
@ andres333 - Thank you for the encouragement
Trying to learn more.. Realized I had been doodling too much lol
A doodle, and a study that ended up as a doodle..
Merry christmas !!! :d
wow, like everyone said, you really do have great imagination! XD
hmmm, maybe you can adding more details to your doodles?
they remind me of abstract art in some way...
It is the doodle man!
You could try doing a load of detailed reference studies, but adding your own twist to them. I'd like to see this...
Keep going man.
chibimeli - Thank you for your comment :]
Royzy - That sounds fun, I might have to try it out Thanks for the encouragement
1 - Christmas page
2 - Some studies.
3 - Drew a line and doodled from the shapes in it.
4 - A dream I had.
5 - Some horse head statues, etc.
6 - Pandappleeee

SYRACUSE -- A Fayetteville native is in the national spotlight after sinking a buzzer-beating shot to defeat his hometown rival.
Fayetteville-Manlius graduate Patrick Lee hit a turnaround three-pointer from 33 feet away to give Stonehill College an 84-82 overtime win over Le Moyne College Tuesday night. The 6'5" junior forward finished the game with 9 points and 8 rebounds in 37 minutes of play.
"It was just shock. I can't believe that actually happened and then the next thing I know my teammates are all sprinting at me. It was just an adrenaline rush," said Lee.
That adrenaline rush intensified when the game-winning basket made ESPN SportsCenter's "Top Play" Wednesday.
"It happened so quickly. It was only 2 seconds, and I saw it go through the net," said Patrick's Dad who was in the stands. "I was watching with my daughter who goes to Le Moyne. She said dad you actually left your feet, which I haven't done in years. So it was fun."
The video has gone viral, making it's way onto YouTube and numerous sports websites. "I was so ecstatic. I still shake every time I see it so it's a wonderful feeling," said Patrick's Mom Janine.
While it was a tough loss for Le Moyne to suffer at home, the school says all this attention shines a positive light on Division II basketball, and the athletic programs at Le Moyne and Stonehill.
Patrick grew up in Central New York and was a football and basketball start at F-M. Playing so close to home on Tuesday night, meant he had a lot of fans in the stands. "I couldn't have asked for a better place to hit that shot. I had family that flew in from California and Minnesota and all my friends. It was just great to do it in front of them," he said. Patrick's Mother Janine said even his grandparents, who are in their 80's, were in the gym to see their grandchild sink the winning shot.

We continue our listening to voters series this morning today we take you the state of New Mexico.
And -- volcanic do you remember what happened in New Mexico twelve years ago.
And the election of 2000 George Bush won the state by about 370.
Votes that was it.
And 2004.
In New Mexico on our map behind here he won it again beating John Kerry by about 6000 votes it was the closest race in the country.
Which would seem to think that may be New Mexico is a battleground state yet again.
But four years ago in 2008 President Obama easily won the state by fifteen points.
Over John McCain -- New Mexico has an issue that is worse than almost every other states.
And that's the issue of education so we went to the county of -- volcanic.
-- critical area in this state how does education play in November.
Have a look.
I have seen things that just are not right it's happening to our kids.
G and Dana Hassey are fed up with the schools and sent a ball -- They moved here thirty years ago transplants in the midwest hoping for greater opportunity.
And they found it until four years ago.
We have kids that can't read to kids that can't right.
I think it's time to get back to the basics with reading and writing and arithmetic.
When the economy went under they say the school there -- eleven year old daughter Emma was attending went downhill with it.
You are now four months away from -- presidential election yes who -- could improve the school system and New Mexico.
That's good question he's a Republican but says Mitt Romney has yet to win her vote.
Whoever does win in November will face a big challenge here.
Turning around a public school system that has failed by nearly every measure education in New Mexico has been a black -- for the entire state.
High school graduation rates put New Mexico 48 out of fifty in America today -- the eighth grade level.
Math and reading scores are not much better.
Margaret where is a retired teacher who was seen this system from the inside out.
Her two grandkids are in the district today she's a Democrat but is leaning toward Mitt Romney I don't think.
-- Obama's approach to education has really considered small school districts rural school districts.
States like New Mexico -- -- cylinders daughter jade will be an eighth grade next year.
He believes the broken system is tied to a broken economy.
Really if you wanna change the economy change educational -- Change the way from the students are graduating from high school changed the way their thoughts are they going to go to college do they even think about that.
Sandoval county covers a huge area and whatever choice it makes -- November back a bit messy house better days cannot come soon enough.
They tell us it's not.
Best country out there and it probably is I don't see anything better.
About it.
We're giving away from.
What is supposed to be.

The military in peacetime is boring, muses Ray Elwood, the irrepressible main character in Buffalo Soldiers, a funny, sometimes biting satire set on an American army base in West Germany in 1989, right before the fall of the Berlin Wall. But the movie is anything but dull, particularly the amusing setup. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Elwood, an endearingly opportunistic supply clerk doing a bang-up job killing time while not in combat. The unofficial king of the black market, hes a cool operator. If hes not selling ripped-off, requisitioned floor polish to locals, he and his cohorts are cooking up copious amounts of heroin for the evil head of the military police.

Everything! Super swanky and great for teens. Clean,modern,classic,staff helpful and friendly!!!
Xmas decorations were not up for Thanksgiving weekend.
This was an exceptional hotel. Although a member of Marriott, it was more like a 5 star Boutique Hotel.It was clear that customer service was everyone's priority. Lauren and Chad at the front desk, Pat the Operator, and housekeeping was superb as well. Brand newly renovated, this is our new favorite hotel, taking the place of the Waldorf a block down. We will be back and would highly recommend to anyone.
The staff are really help full and If you have some questions you can tell Mr. Kevin he knows some nice places to go eating!
Very clean!
Nothing included in the room rate: beverages- coffee, tea, water, snacks, fruit or breakfast.
The style and the staff very efficient . A Duty Manager Who gives a real First Class service with smile and happiness . I will go back to The Lexington
location is really good
for that price i think they can give breakfast
Super helpful staff. Fantastic location. Stylish. Feather pillows!
Printer in business facilities didn't work during my 4-day stay. However, reception staff were so helpful and printed docs for me there. No coffee making facilities in bedroom. Wifi in lobby was very patchy.
Comfortable bed
No hot water in the shower, no ability to adjust temperature of room despite having a thermostat, overly loud music in lobby
Nicely situated reaching distance from many attractions. Free wi-fi in room
Although not crucial a little larger bathroom would have made it excellent
Lively, great location, good value.
Small rooms, but that's OK for the price.
Great location in New York. Nice, clean rooms with no fuss
Receptionists could have been more friendly. Radiators got to hot, without our control
24-hours business center with free access to PCs, Internet and printer.
Breakfast here is not a buffet and includes only one course (e.g. omelet or waffles) and drinks. If you want something more, you have to pay, and prices in the restaurant (which is actually not the hotel's one) are quite high.
It is the second time a stayed at this hotel. I like the location. Also liked the hotel had a recent renovation. Its brand new. I recomend.
Good location
Old, tired building. Not well detailed eg paint drops on floor tiles. Not a four star hotel in my opinion. Room not as clean as it should be.
Location, staff, cleanliness
It was a very clean hotel and staff were very friendly.
The price, although it compares with other hotels in New York. It would just be nice to stay in a nice hotel and not cost an arm and a leg.
Comfortable; clean; In the heart of the city
My husband and I haven't seen each other in a while due to his deployment with the army..so this was a very nice get-a-way. First time in the city and it was amazing. Hotel is every close to everything. Our room was not ready when we arrived but we were able to leave our luggage with the bell men for just $2. Awesome experience overall!!!
Cleaning service was a bit rude. But everything was taken care of.
Free Internet in room big plus for us being overseas visitors Really big comfortable bed Great location Friendly & helpful staff
friendly staff, nice and cozy room, great location
there was nothing I did not like
Very nice renovated room, awesome location, great historic building, clean and comfortable.
Thin walls. Could hear the alarm clock go off in the next room! The ice machines were not all functional
The bed was okay. Very nice toilet.
Sneaky and vague pricing. Too expensive. Thin walls. Elevator always crowded. Slightly rude front desk. No comforter on the bed. Tiny room and even worse bathroom. AC did not always work. Terrible soap. Bathtub/shower was too slippery, even with the handle bar they put in.
High rise, comfortable beds, location good
Designated Parking lot not easy to find and we parked in wrong lot and it cost $75/night! No amenities listing in room - did they have any amenities like a fitness room or vending? Who knows! Friends paid extra for an upgraded room but had worse location and smaller bed than I who paid standard rate.
paid internet
The staff were so helpful and accomodating. Willing to go the extra mile and always had a smile. Location is great and still quiet, but so close to Times Square. Comfy bed, great new renovated rooms-Starbucks on location too. workout facilitly wonderful-cold face towels, oranges to have as snack and even ear buds if needed. This hotel staff is truly a team and you can tell everyone there likes there position and works together! Great stay! Will return.

Determining your accommodation needs
What is accommodation?
According to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, the duty to accommodate persons with disabilities means accommodation must be provided in a manner that most respects the dignity of the person, if to do so does not create undue hardship. Dignity includes consideration of how accommodation is provided and the individual's own participation in the process.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission words the duty to accommodate as the obligation to meaningfully incorporate diversity into the workplace. The duty to accommodate involves eliminating or changing rules, policies, practices and behaviours that discriminate against persons based on a group characteristic, such as race, national or ethnic origin, colour, disability, religion, age, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, marital status, and family status.
A request for accommodation for you should be reasonable and fair based on:
- Documented individual needs (i.e. audiogram, letter from accessibility expert)
- Most inclusive experience in participation (i.e. full communication access)
- No "undue hardship" in terms of funding or supervision (no excessive costs)
- Reasonable health and safety for all parties involved
- Not jeopardizing the minimal requirements of training or work duties
Principles for Providing Reasonable Accommodations should include:
- Reasonable accommodations in a manner that does not stigmatize the individual
- A mind set that recognizes the individual's strengths and potential contributions to the organization, respects the person as an individual, and exhibits a willingness to engage in joint problem solving
- The individual affected should be involved in all decision making about his or her school or work including identifying reasonable accommodations
- A voluntary approach
- An environment in which hearing loss and reasonable accommodations are accepted, disclosure is not punished, and an individual's desire for confidentiality is respected
Reasonable Accommodation Process should include:
- Methods of Accommodation
- Consult with the youth who is deaf or hard of hearing to:
- Determine the precise training or job-related limitation imposed by the individual's disability
- Determine how those limitations could be overcome with a reasonable accommodation
- Get the youth's recommendation on accommodation needed
- In consultation with the youth
- Identify and investigate potential accommodations
- Determine feasibility
- Assess the effectiveness each would have in enabling the individual to perform the essential functions of learning or job
- Give primary consideration to the preference of the youth
- Select and implement the accommodation that would be most effective
- Monitor its progress
- Existing legislation
- Policy and guidelines on disability and the duty to accommodate (OHRC)
- Guidelines on accessible education (OHRC)
- Consult with the youth who is deaf or hard of hearing to:
- Reasonable Accommodation Options
- Making existing facilities readily accessible (visual information)
- Modifying existing equipment (add visual alerting system)
- Job restructuring
- Changing tests and training materials
- Changing college/university or employer policies
- Hiring a notetaker, ASL/English interpreter, LSQ/French interpreter, print interpreter or computerized note taker
- Making sure all videos are captioned
- Arranging tutoring/instructional services
- Look at priority registration (permitting early registration)
- Make assistive listening devices available
- Making sure the rooms are a hearing accessible environment
In determining whether a college, university or employer has met his or her obligations, the following questions should be considered:
- Did the school or employer try to find a way to meet the youth's needs in a way that was not discriminatory?
- If there were alternatives, what were the reasons they were not used?
- Is there a way for a school or employer to meet their objectives in a way that is less discriminatory?
- Is the standard, policy or procedure necessary for the school or employer to accomplish their objectives, and is it broader than it needs to be?
- Have all parties cooperated in search for an alternative? This includes unions and professional associations
- Is the cost of the accommodation or the impact of the accommodation so great that it changes the nature of the college's, university's or employer's business?

Lee set to learn punishment
8:59am Wednesday 25th September 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Stephen Lee will discover his punishment for match-fixing later today with the possibility he will be banned for life.
The 38-year-old was found guilty of seven match-fixing charges by an independent tribunal last week.
Lee appeared before a hearing on Tuesday after which it was confirmed that tribunal chairman Adam Lewis QC will announce his sanction on Wednesday.
A statement from the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association released on Tuesday said: "The hearing in the case of Stephen Lee to decide the sanction took place today. Adam Lewis QC will deliver his decision on sanction tomorrow."
Lee, the former world number five, was found guilty of match-fixing charges relating to seven matches in 2008 and 2009.
The matches in question were three matches in the Malta Cup in 2008, two matches at the UK Championship in the same year, one at the 2009 China Open and one at the 2009 World Championship.
WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson has confirmed Lee faces "a significant sanction".
Ferguson said last week: "The WPBSA has a zero-tolerance approach to match-fixing.
"This particular case was extremely difficult and complicated to bring to a hearing. We believe we have established the world's most sophisticated system in dealing with corruption in sport and we will take every step under the WPBSA rules to deal with those responsible."
It is the biggest case of match-fixing to hit snooker since Australian Quinten Hann was suspended for eight years in 2006 for breaking rules governing match-fixing after he was caught in a sting by undercover reporters where he agreed to lose a game at the China Open in return for money.
Last year, Joe Jogia was banned for two years after the WPBSA found him guilty of breaching betting rules.

People shop for themselves.
I -- black Friday's big success in sales Cyber Monday is expected to almost double that my next guest says both Google.
And Amazon are partially to thank for those numbers they includes only half of all online purchases Eric best joins -- not he's the CEO of -- Dot com.
So you know and consumers again it was all about the online sales on Friday huge jump for those -- and Americans shopped.
On line near record what do you make of it.
Yeah I was a big weekend.
For our clients we serve -- portfolio of 500 of the largest retailers.
-- and nationally as well as globally and we saw.
Sales up on Thanksgiving Day 32% year over year he -- decline a little bit on Black Friday -- -- -- 3%.
But the data or the first half of today coming in is -- 20% year over year growth which is still incredibly strong free commerce and of course it's dwarfing.
Brick and mortar retail.
Wolf that's the thing I mean you know the estimates -- for Cyber Monday that -- say one point five billion but I can't help but wonder.
If we're gonna see -- stealing from Black Friday.
Those that normally what -- a Cyber Monday like forget it I'm getting out there what part of because many web site to Wal-Mart target for example.
They offered the same deals on their website that they did in the store.
Yeah there's there's no question that Thanksgiving took some of that.
Market timing and and moved it forward this year.
The other thing that we're noticing among our clients is that these.
Door buster promotions that have been driving early shopping among consumers in prior years.
They're still very important again today is definitely going to be the largest online shopping day ever.
-- but we are seeing that the whole industry is sort of giving way to a new model and that is that retailers are increasingly automatically pricing their products.
Based on real time information that they're collecting on competitors and based on real time information that shoppers are seeing on Smartphones and tablet.
It isn't I -- you know what Eric do you really get a better deal on a Cyber Monday for example -- me one of our producers was looking for.
The particular item as the watch and -- -- Ed Ed and the website along mention.
And it was -- you know 125 dollars did a Google search two seconds it's there was a hundred point -- dollar versions of us watched everywhere had nothing to do with Cyber Monday so are we -- will limit the -- -- happening here with retailers.
-- issue and I don't.
I don't think it's a trick so much as it's.
Consumer savvy is catching up with retail merchandising sappy.
And shoppers are realizing that they don't have to stay stand in line for twelve hours necessarily to get a great deal.
They just need to do a simple Google search or an Amazon search as you mentioned earlier.
More than half of all offline purchases are first researched online.
And when you look at the influence of sites like Amazon and Google.
Almost half of all online purchases begin with a shopper searching for a product on one of those -- sites.
-- right what.
Eric thank you very much it's great to have you on the show very very interesting as you can see we're also always talking about Cyber Monday on Black Friday and we'll see what it -- for the economy Eric thank you very much.
Thanks a lot.

19 people apply for school board of proposed consolidated Ypsilanti-Willow Run district
Danielle Arndt | AnnArbor.com
The deadline for pursuing a Board of Education seat within the proposed consolidated Ypsilanti-Willow Run school district ended at 5 p.m. Thursday.
The number of applications submitted to the Washtenaw Intermediate School District for consideration surpassed school leaders' hopes.
Voters in Ypsilanti and Willow Run will decide on Nov. 6 whether to merge the two financially and academically struggling districts. If the consolidation proposal passes, the WISD Board of Education will select seven people from the pool of applicants to serve on the school board for the new district.
As of 4:45 p.m., WISD Superintendent Scott Menzel had received 18 completed applications and one partial.
School officials will spend Friday processing the applications and determining whether the WISD's criteria were met. The names of the applicants will be released Monday, Menzel said. He added current board members from both districts, as well as non-board members from both districts have applied.
"I'm actually really encouraged by the level of interest," Menzel said. "Many people worked very hard to express their desire to serve and to get letters of support and recommendation. It shows they're engaged and have a lot of energy about the consolidation."
If residents vote to consolidate, the public would be asked to participate in two community interviews of the candidates and to provide feedback on the applicants they believe would best serve the new district.
The interviews have been tentatively scheduled (pending the approval of the merger) for:
- 6 p.m. Nov. 12 at Willow Run High School, 235 Spencer Lane, in the Forum Room
- 6 p.m. Nov. 13 at Ypsilanti High School, 2095 Packard Rd., in Room 138
The final seven board members would be selected at a special meeting of the WISD Board of Education at 6 p.m. Nov. 19 at the Eastern Michigan University Student Center, 900 Oakwood St., Ypsilanti.
The new appointed school board would serve until Dec. 31, 2014. All seven seats would then appear on the November 2014 general election ballot for staggered terms, with the elected board members taking office effective Jan. 1, 2015.
Menzel said the format for the interviews Nov. 12 and 13 is up in the air due to how many applications were received.
"I'm not sure completely," he said of the process. "We were planning, if we had 10, we'd have five one night and five the next. They were going to be 30-minute interviews with each applicant given a prepared list of questions from the WISD board. But there may need to be some screening that takes place prior to the interviews or maybe we'll have to shorten the interviews so we can get more in or identify the top 12 or 14 or something."
At public forums at the beginning of the consolidation process, some community members expressed concern about anyone affiliated with the current school boards or administrations serving again in the new district.
In April, when Ypsilanti and Willow Run's school boards met together to vote on pursuing the ballot proposal, Ypsilanti resident E. L. Weathers said trustees serving more than 10 years on either school board should consider stepping down.
"Both systems didn't get in this condition overnight," he said, referring to the districts' individual financial deficits. "If both boards drove the bus into the ditch, I don't think once they've put their glasses on they gonna be able to drive it out."
Menzel said for those community members with similar mindsets, he strongly encouraged them to take part in the process.
"All of those concerns are legitimate concerns to express. I would suggest for (people with concerns) to come to the interviews and not to dismiss people out of hand based solely on those concerns, but to look at all the factors before they make a decision. Because it's important, and ultimately what everyone wants is for us to identify the best seven people," he said.
Ypsilanti and Willow Run's current and separate school boards both have open seats on the Nov. 6 ballot as well. These board races would only matter if the consolidation does not pass.
Ypsilanti trustees Sarah Devaney and Edward Jackson were up for re-election but chose not to run, leaving school board hopefuls D'Real Ryan Graham and Daniel L. Raglin running uncontested for the two open spots. The only way they will be elected to office is if the merger proposal fails. Otherwise, they would have needed to apply for a seat on the newly consolidated district's board.
The same is true of Willow Run Trustee Mark Wilde, who is seeking re-election for his lone open seat on the Willow Run school board.
The passage of the merger proposal would, in essence, dissolve the two individual school districts' boards. The newly appointed board for the consolidated district would run the two separate districts until the official merger takes place in July 2013.
The joint Ypsilanti-Willow Run Collaboration and Communication Task Force is developing a draft timeline of what types of decisions would need to be made and policies developed in the coming months, if the consolidation passes.

He was Picasso, Copernicus, a Shakespeare with shears. Yes, those are grand comparisons, but they're consistent with the gushing of hair geeks interviewed for "Vidal Sassoon The Movie," a documentary that had its world premiere on Friday at the Tribeca Film Festival. Was Sassoon really so great? From his Bond Street salon in the 1960s, he created a geometric approach to the cut, exemplified by the "five-point," which coiffeurs still speak of like it's their Rosetta stone. "You cut hair like we cut clothes," the Swinging Sixties designer Mary Quant tells Sassoon during a tender scene in which they sift through old pictures of the models Nancy Kwan and Grace Coddington. A narrative quickly emerges: Quant popularizes the mini-skirt, Sassoon tops off the King's Road look, and the rest — the shampoo bottles, the global network of salons and styling academies — is history. Well, not quite. Read more…

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
GREENVILLE , Texas, Aug. 31, 2009 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates gave a pep talk today to employees outfitting the MC-12 Liberty aircraft for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, telling them their work is saving lives on the battlefield.
Gates visited the L3 Communications plant here, getting briefed about progress,on "Project Liberty." The program outfits a commercial turboprop aircraft with high-tech gear that provides real-time, full-motion video and signals intelligence to military commanders. After observing work under way on four additional MC-12s today, all bound for Afghanistan, Gates told factory employees their work is paying off in a big way. "You all have the opportunity to work on one of the few projects where your efforts have a direct and immediate impact on men and women fighting on the front lines," he said. "With every plane that you complete, you are saving American lives and giving our troops the tools they need to accomplish their mission and come home safely."
"Your work proves what industry and the military can accomplish together," he said. Turning out an MC-12 is tedious, detailed work that involves installing 41,000 individual parts installed into a space only slightly larger than a Volkswagon. Workers pull around-the-clock shifts, taking 22,000 hours of labor to complete each aircraft. "We're trying to pump these out as fast as we can," Spivey said. "We understand the urgency, and our people are working this program really hard, 24 hours," echoed Air Force Lt. Col. Kevin Buddelmeyer, commander of the 645th Aeronautical Systems Squadron that's assigned to the program. "This program is a big priority," he said. "And it's doing some wonderful things in theater." Gates said the MC-12 program offers a reminder that new combat platforms can be developed, built and deployed quickly. "And the best solution isn't always the fanciest or the most expensive," he said. He closed by praising the work under way and urging workers to push themselves to turn out MC-12s even faster. "Each day earlier one of these planes arrives downrange may well be the day that a soldier's life is saved. So I ask you to sustain your effort and to keep pursuing ways to improve this program," he said. "Your job is critical," he said. "We are counting on you. Most importantly, the troops who are putting their lives on the line also are counting on you." Philip Johnson, a quality manager for the program, called Gates' visit an inspiration to him and his coworkers. "It really brings home the sense of what we do here, and how it supports our country and our fighters and troops on the ground," he said.

DMA's Special Interest Councils Present Fresh Offerings at DMA07 in Chicago
September 18, 2007 Just as many wires can plug into one big power source, everything marketing converges at DMA07 Conference & Exhibiton. Then all that renewed energy flows back out through a network of marketing branches. And the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) has a special interest council for 20 of them! Committed to bringing innovative, relevant offerings to the largest gathering of direct marketing professionals, this year DMA will be welcoming brand-new councils, and offering a host of exciting events and networking opportunities.
Whether attendees choose to hold counsel with the newly acquired Email Experience Council or glimpse into the world of Analytics Council events, delegates will get the inside view of special interest Councils during DMA07 Conference & Exhibition, which will be held October 1318 at McCormick Place West in Chicago.
DMA07 brings direct marketers of all specialties under one roof, where they can share insights and learn from one another conveniently and easily, said Theresa R. Bartlett, DMAs director of special interest councils. This is an amazing opportunity for marketers to improve their skills perhaps via avenues theyd never before considered. For example, an email marketer can learn from an analytics professional, and vice versa.
Special Interest Councils
Were excited to have so many new offerings this year, said Bartlett. The Email Experience Council, or simply EEC, joined DMA in July, and the month before, the Marketing Technology Council re-launched with a new name and mission; the Search Engine Marketing Council presented an all-new agenda along with fresh events and educational opportunities; and the Analytics Council expanded its outreach efforts beyond analytic practitioners, to include decision-makers who will profit from utilizing analytic methodologies. We are also so pleased to be welcoming the new Creative Council to our roster.
"On behalf of the entire Email Experience Council community, I cannot express how excited we are to be involved with the DMA 2007 annual event, said Jeanniey Mullen, EEC senior partner and executive director for global email marketing at OgilvyOne Worldwide. Our council is comprised of some of the world's most well-known experts in the email marketing space. DMA07 offers us the opportunity to share our passions with other category experts, and drive forward our broader mission of creating effective direct marketing experiences."
These diverse thought leadership groups are bringing their innovations to DMA07, offering insights, best practices, and networking and educational opportunities.
Here is a sampling of DMA07s extensive Council offerings.

Presented to: Michael Fillerup
For: "Lost and Found"
The awards committee stated, "Michael Fillerup's stories are often about Mormonism in that direct way that subverts probity with good intention--or would, if the writing were any less wary than his, or any less open to complication, ambush, or misgiving. A kind of home teaching perhaps, but here set fobiddingly far from home. His characters are often profound loners, people twice estranged. They find themselves marginalized in a culture--for them--already marginal, where what they do and are is sustained by religious commitment, and religious commitment is imperiled precisely by what they find themselves doing and what, in fact, they have become. Faith in these stories, is a terrible gift.
"'Lost and Found,' published in a Christmas anthology of mostly far-too-well-intentioned writing, is just such a story, a kind of counter-Christmas tale, in which a painfully unwise man is called on a starless Christmas Eve to bring his foreign gift, not to mark the miracle virgin birth, but to find something not unlike miracle in the long-deflowered ordinariness of death. As in Fillerup's other work, the story plunges along with seeming artlessness where careful shaping would surely not seem to take, and all the while it draws us deftly on with urgency and realism. It is a hard=nosed, rawly detailed, icily coercive read. And ends however improbably still quite believably in magic. In revelation.
"With 'Lost and Found,' Michael Fillerup has braved a labyrinth of sentiment, all the more treacherous for its familiarity, to achieve a story whose probity might even make the world safe again, if only momentarily, for Christmas. That too is a terrible gift."

So in support of new learners we are organising after work practical that will be priced at £17.50 per session. If you would like to attend or require further details, please call Sarah on Leicester (0116) 262 0936.
