There could be stampeded Texas that is -- Texas attorney general Greg Abbott has his way he's trying to lure New Yorkers.
Texas attorney general Greg Abbott posting on FaceBook moved to Texas -- -- keep your guns so why's -- trying to lure New Yorkers to Texas.
Attorney general haven't joins us good evening sir.
Good evening Greta.
Other stories kind of somewhat complicated in the last few -- a -- what what started this is I guess a new town shooting.
Governor Cuomo -- gun control measures and the newspaper in New York publishing names.
And then your FaceBook telling New Yorkers to -- -- and then of course today in the shooting in your state.
You know it's gotten so complicated -- blame -- -- thoughts about this tonight.
Well several things.
Our hearts and our prayers go out to the families of those who were shot today at a college just north of Houston.
And the same thing goes with regard to the shooting that took place in Connecticut.
But no parent believes.
-- school should be in a way that a shock to get shot at school and when a parent drops a child off the school they expect to be able to pick that tell that that very same day.
The same time what we need to make sure that I miss this debate.
We remain calm and address the problems appropriately.
But the same time we can use this debate to look at the broader issues nationally which was the purpose of me taking out that -- -- -- because the point there.
Was to show the contrast between big government New York.
And limited government and taxes and the New York you have -- higher taxes more government more regulation and yet.
Less -- liberty and importantly fewer jobs and now the governor's tried to constrict people's liberty even more whereas in Texas we have.
Lower taxes less government fewer regulations more jobs and that more liberty and so -- warning -- to point out to our fellow Americans that.
There are different philosophies in this country -- you look at the competing large states you'll see that Texas provides one.
Political and philosophical -- view where -- states like new York and California provide another and it's Texas that is creating the jobs.
Reid -- issue about the should never walked in today and I stuck to bread affairs office he looked rather bad grammar that's what's wrong with you he -- another school shooting.
And I said not a grade school.
And he said no and I and I thought you know let me -- on that number this that I thought I get up.
I am flying out college wasn't as bad as grades go which is just so sick and twisted they're all horrible and even college kids are young people.
Yeah but we we have so many of these fifty that this -- across the radar screen.
That it's very difficult now we're off fighting about everything in the nation but -- hotter sort of stops us.
Right in and -- the most important point here and that is -- our goal.
Is to keep schools safe would need to keep that in mind and not get misled -- trying to come up with some.
False solutions that would provide a false sense of security the easy example is what happened in Houston first for your viewers -- everyone knows.
This was a -- based shooter who broke out.
At this college in Houston this was apparently gang related that was one attacker on another.
And that there was a by standard who was injured in the process of this was not a school shooting.
But which is on connect about obviously all shootings and school or Babbitt.
You need to understand also.
In taxes right now the time the shooting took place there is a law that prohibits guns on campus so once again the only person on campus with a gun.
Was a law breaker.
And so we need to be cautious about how we go about the process of considering guns remembering also look at look at column by.
Columbine shooting took place -- the time when there was an assault weapon ban.
The shooting that took place in Connecticut.
Guns were prohibited but where the school took place -- even President Obama staff admitted in a story that showed up in Politico.
That the president's proposals to crack down on gun crime would not have solved the problem are -- the problem in Connecticut.
-- my heart goes out to the people in your state today and at that -- at that college Tom.
Richard -- on the question.
Are you going to run the floor governor.
The state of Texas as a Republican I -- challenge Governor Perry.
-- as you might imagine from the issues we're facing this very day.
From the issues that we're seeing come out of Washington this month.
I'm from the issues were dressing in a state legislature right now.
When I have time to focus on politics politics we'll take care itself letter on right now waiting to take care of the business of the people of the state of Texas as well as this country.
I saw some reference so they told donors they were thinking about it just mean in the last two weeks so it can't -- semi -- you've got a certain look to the future you've got to plan so is it on your radar screen.
Well again who we're -- a legislative session right now -- Willie and at the end of may.
And politics can play out after that time.
Right now we need to work on keeping Texans say.
Working on these challenges the country spacing and taking care of the business of the people of the state of Texas.
Attorney general thank you and I know that there's not there wasn't a yes but there's not -- -- as well so I guess just stay tuned thank you served.
Thank you Greta.

In response to Hfxsoxnut's comment:
I love baseball stats but man, do they create a lot of confusion and controversy. The old school vs. new school battle rages on. Some people think stats like a pitcher's won-lost record and a hitter's RBI total are meaningless. New school stats like WAR and UZR, of course, are mocked viciously by the old school people.
I try to take in all the stats and make sense of them. I grew up with baseball cards and Yaz's Triple Crown in 1967 and Denny McLain's 31 wins and Gibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968. I thought those numbers were spectacular at the time and I still do. Nolan Ryan's 383 strikeouts in 1973-insane!
And I still relate heavily to the standard numbers. When we signed Manny Ramirez you bet I was juiced to get a guy who had 165 RBI in 147 games in 1999.
As for the new ones, I sort of understand what numbers like WAR and UZR are trying to measure. Then there are the ones like FIP % and ones that look like hieroglyphics that I have no clue about.
Now what I really wanna know is: is Derek Jeter really a terrible shortstop? That still surprises me and seems to be one of the classic conundrums of old vs. new.
How many years has Jeter been playing short? It would take a real stupid person to say that Derek Jeter is a terrible shortstop..What the heck is wrong with people who judge people just because they don't like him or the teams they play for.? Would Jeter be a better shortstop if he played 18 years for Sox? If you are a profesional in any sport and someone who is sitting in front of a computer and trys to tell everyone how terrible that player is ,really needs his head examined. Get a life and stop being jealous......

Italian Ludicrous situation cont.
I was visiting Trieste yesterday while driving to Croatia and I stopped in on a supplier on the border near Slovenia that stocks a lot of specialty products from Spain and Italy.
They had row after row of products from my friend Quico Sosa (http://www.sosa.cat/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=81&Itemid=34&lang=en). If you are familiar with the products from Sosa you would know that they have a large range of freeze dried products, essences and also many types of food additives. With the current situation in Italy being as absurd as it is they can only sell the products that do not come with a European union approved additive number (All products that also have a code starting with "E") as this makes them a non-restaurant approved item with these new "Laws". So there are now countless products on their shelves which will have to remain there until someone in the "Government" over turns this ridiculous legislation.
I hope we can all look back on this and laugh one day, like the fat politician in the US who tried to have salt banned in restaurants because he couldn't practice self control so he thought he would legislate it to make it easier……………………..

Having only just finished revising and taking an exam in payments-for-ecosystems (PES), it's great to see a tangible effect in the real world through this video rather than a simplified textbook version.
This PES scheme focuses on multiple different people throughout the African landscape, including farmers, fishers and teachers, all who are utilising such schemes to promote healthy living and biodiversity growth, all in the name of sustainability. Considering Africa is a highly degraded region and has only been showing signs of taking on board sustainable lifestyles in recent times, it's inspiring to see the people in this video talk about it so enthusiastically as they do.
Combined with this is some brilliant photography (the cameras are insane quality, as you'd expect from Vimeo) and music, all of which make a wonderful 6-and-a-bit minute experience I highly urge you to check out. Might make you slightly more optimistic about society, ya never know.

I voted no as I have both an atv2 and a 720p TV, so its worthless for me on two accounts. Obviously I intend to upgrade one day so it would be nice then. I would onlly hope if you do go full HD, there is still a lower version available.

For me it isn't necessary atm. My HTPC is used in combination with a Sony 720p TV.
But if i upgrade, it would be nice to have. I agree with westcoastbias, if we... We need to have both 720 and 1080. I am curious to see what resolution is used most by the Quartz users.

not a big deal imho art this point, it upscales fine to my 1080p panny now as well is fine on my 720p LG ...
Though if you want to future proof its fine imo. Thought I wouldn't get too nervous about it just yet. Again, just my opinion. |

I am not sure the ATV2 is able to run it smoothly. Isn't the whole idea to make this a lightweight skin?
But of course if it was possible to choose between 720p or 1080p, and the 720p version wouldnt be slowed down by it.... BT :) |

I didn't vote, as I don't know what the difference would be. I doubt it would look better, although I could be wrong. For me, it won't add much as I don't have a 1080p tv and on my computer screen the 720p looks great already. (even if not in 16x9)

I would like to point out that the poll choice is kind of wrong "No, can't use it on ATV2" is incorrect because all it would do is scale it down so unless you make the images all 2x the size and thus slowing down the skin it would make no difference

I could swear that last time I tried (few months ago) ATV2 refused to run on Foundation (720 folder deleted). But I can check it out. My biggest concern here are ATV2 users as 1080 textures will have to scale down because of ATV2 720p output and I believe that device does not have enough HP to do it quickly. So even if I'm wrong and technically it would work, practically performance drop on ATV2 would be noticeable.

Pros: Had a continental breakfast with a wafflemaker. The shower was decent. We all slept fairly well. Had wireless. Cons: Price. This place was a fair bit overpriced. One of the lightbulbs in the bathroom was burned out. Also, I will note that while it did not affect sleep any, one of the mattresses sagged from overuse and needed replacing.

Limited scleroderma (CREST syndrome)
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/crest-syndrome/DS00580
Limited scleroderma, or CREST syndrome, is one subtype of scleroderma — a condition that literally means "hardened skin."
The skin changes associated with limited scleroderma typically occur only in the lower arms and legs, and sometimes the face and throat. Limited scleroderma can also affect your digestive tract and can cause serious heart and lung disorders.
The problems caused by limited scleroderma may be minor. In some cases, however, the disease affects the lungs or heart, with potentially serious results. Limited scleroderma has no known cure, and treatments focus on managing symptoms and preventing serious complications.
Limited scleroderma | |
Raynaud's disease | |
Telangiectasia |
While some varieties of scleroderma occur rapidly, signs and symptoms of limited scleroderma usually develop gradually. They include:
- Tight, hardened skin. In limited scleroderma, skin changes typically affect only the lower arms and legs, including fingers and toes, and sometimes the face and throat. Skin can look shiny from being pulled taut over underlying bone. It may become difficult to bend your fingers or to open your mouth.
- Raynaud's phenomenon. This condition occurs when small blood vessels in your fingers and toes go into spasms in response to cold or emotional stress, blocking the flow of blood. In most people, the skin turns white before becoming blue, cold and numb. When circulation improves, the skin usually reddens and may throb or tingle. Raynaud's phenomenon is often one of the earliest signs of limited scleroderma, but many people have only Raynaud's and never develop scleroderma.
- Red spots or lines on skin. These small red spots or lines (telangiectasias) are caused by the swelling of tiny blood vessels near the skin's surface. They are not painful and occur primarily on the hands and face.
- Bumps under the skin. Limited scleroderma may cause tiny calcium deposits (calcinosis) to develop under your skin, mainly on your elbows, knees and fingers. You can see and feel these deposits, which sometimes may be tender or become infected.
- Swallowing difficulties. People with limited scleroderma commonly experience problems with their esophagus — the tube that connects the mouth and stomach. Poor functioning of the muscles in the upper and lower esophagus can make swallowing difficult and allow stomach acids to back up into the esophagus, leading to heartburn, inflammation and scarring of esophageal tissues.
Limited scleroderma is believed to be an autoimmune disorder — one in which your immune system turns against your own body. In limited scleroderma, the immune system appears to stimulate the production of too much collagen, a key component of connective tissue. This overproduction of collagen builds up in the skin and internal organs, impairing their function.
Risk factors
- Sex. Women are far more likely to develop limited scleroderma than men are.
- Race. In the United States, limited scleroderma affects women of African descent more often than women of European descent. Choctaw Native Americans also have higher rates of limited scleroderma than other races.
- Genetic factors. If someone in your family has an autoimmune disease — such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or Hashimoto's disease — you have an increased risk of developing limited scleroderma.
- Exposure to toxins. Toxic substances, such as polyvinyl chloride, benzene, silica and trichloroethylene, may trigger scleroderma in people with a genetic predisposition to the disease.
The visible signs of limited scleroderma — tight, thick skin on your fingers, hands and face — can affect the way you feel about your appearance; make everyday tasks, such as opening a jar or shaving, more difficult; and even affect your speech. But the most serious complications tend to occur beneath your skin.
Gastrointestinal problems
Changes in the functioning of esophageal muscles can cause difficulty swallowing and chronic heartburn. When limited scleroderma affects your intestine, you may experience:
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Bloating after meals
- Weight loss
- Malnutrition
Ulcers on fingers and toes
Severe Raynaud's phenomenon can obstruct blood flow to your extremities and may cause ulcers of the fingers and toes. These ulcers can be difficult to heal. Additionally, abnormal or narrowed blood vessels combined with severe Raynaud's phenomenon can lead to gangrene of fingers or toes, which may require amputation.
Lung damage
Limited scleroderma can cause a variety of problems with your lungs, including:
- Interstitial lung disease. This disorder occurs when excess collagen collects in the tissue between the lungs' air sacs, making the lung tissue stiffer and less able to work properly.
- Pulmonary hypertension. Increased pressure in the arteries between your heart and lungs makes the heart work harder and eventually weakens it.
Heart problems
Scarring of heart tissue can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and, in rare cases, to an inflamed heart muscle (myocarditis).
Dental problems
Severe tightening of facial skin can cause your mouth to become smaller and narrower, putting you at risk of serious dental problems. A measurably smaller mouth makes it hard to brush your teeth or have them professionally cleaned, increasing your risk of tooth decay. And because people with limited scleroderma often don't produce normal amounts of saliva, the risk of decay increases even more. In addition, acid reflux can destroy tooth enamel, and changes in gum tissue may cause your teeth to become loose or even fall out.
Dry eyes and mouth
Many people with limited scleroderma experience very dry eyes and mouth.
Preparing for your appointment
Because limited scleroderma can affect so many different parts of your body, you may need to be seen by doctors in a variety of specialties, including:
- Rheumatology, the treatment of arthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders
- Dermatology, the treatment of skin disorders
- Pulmonology, the treatment of lung disorders
What you can do
You may want to write a list that includes:
- Detailed descriptions of your symptoms
- Information about medical problems you've had
- Information about the medical problems of your parents or siblings
- All the medications and dietary supplements you take
- Questions you want to ask the doctor
Since your time with your doctor is limited, preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For limited scleroderma, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What is likely causing my symptoms or condition?
- Are there other possible causes?
- What kinds of tests do I need?
- What treatment approach do you recommend?
- What self-care steps may help manage my symptoms?
- Do I need to follow any restrictions?
- How often will you see me for follow-up visits?
- I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
What to expect from your doctor
During the physical exam, your doctor will look for changes in the texture, color and appearance of your skin. He or she may also ask:
- What are you symptoms, and when did you first notice them?
- How have your symptoms changed over time?
- Are you having problems with heartburn?
- Are you having trouble swallowing?
- Are you experiencing extra fatigue or achiness?
- Do your fingers change color when they get cold?
- Have you lost weight without trying?
- Have you noticed any changes in your bowel habits?
- Have you been diagnosed with any other medical conditions?
- What medications are you currently taking, including vitamins and supplements?
Tests and diagnosis
Like other unusual and complex disorders, limited scleroderma can be difficult to diagnose. Signs and symptoms vary widely and often resemble those of other connective tissue and autoimmune diseases. Further complicating matters is that limited scleroderma sometimes occurs with other autoimmune conditions — such as polymyositis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Tests that may be used in the diagnosis of limited scleroderma include:
- Lab tests. A sample of your blood can be tested for antibodies that are frequently found in the blood of people with limited scleroderma. But this isn't a definitive test because not everyone with limited scleroderma has these antibodies.
- Skin biopsy. Sometimes doctors take a small sample of skin that's then examined under a microscope in a laboratory. Although biopsies can be helpful, they can't definitively diagnose limited scleroderma.
In addition to tests that may help diagnose limited scleroderma itself, your doctor may recommend additional tests to identify any lung, heart or gastrointestinal complications.
Treatments and drugs
Limited scleroderma has no known cure. Treatment focuses on relieving signs and symptoms and preventing complications.
- Antacid drugs. If limited scleroderma is giving you heartburn, your doctor may suggest drugs that reduce the production of stomach acid.
- Blood pressure lowering drugs. Medications that open small blood vessels and increase circulation may help relieve Raynaud's symptoms and reduce increased pressure in the arteries between the heart and lungs.
- Drugs to suppress the immune system. These types of medications have shown promise in preventing interstitial lung disease, a condition in which excess collagen collects in the tissue between the lungs' air sacs, in some people with limited scleroderma.
- Physical therapy. Stretching exercises are important to help prevent loss of mobility in your finger joints. A physical therapist can also show you facial exercises that may help keep your face and mouth flexible as well.
- Occupational therapy. If limited scleroderma is making it difficult for you to perform daily tasks, an occupational therapist can help you learn new ways of doing things. For example, special toothbrushes and flossing devices can make it easier for you to care for your teeth.
- Calcium deposits. Large or painful calcium deposits are sometimes surgically removed.
- Red spots or lines. Laser surgery can reduce the appearance of red spots or lines caused by swollen blood vessels near the surface of the skin.
- Gangrene in fingers. Amputation of fingertips may be necessary if skin ulcers progress to gangrene.
Lifestyle and home remedies
Keep warm
To reduce Raynaud's symptoms, wear gloves or mittens outdoors when the weather is cool and indoors when you reach into the freezer. To maintain your body's core temperature, dress in layers and wear a hat or scarf, thermal socks, and well-fitting boots or shoes that don't cut off your circulation.
Don't smoke
If you smoke, talk to your doctor about the best ways to quit. Nicotine constricts your blood vessels, making Raynaud's phenomenon worse.
Change eating habits
If you have difficulty swallowing, choose soft, moist foods and chew them well. To minimize acid reflux:
- Eat small, frequent meals
- Avoid spicy or fatty foods, chocolate, caffeine, and alcohol
- Don't exercise immediately before or after eating
- Sit upright for two or three hours after a meal
Protect your skin
Excess collagen destroys sweat and oil glands, leaving your skin stiff and dry. To help soften your skin:
- Avoid harsh soaps and detergents. Choose cleansing creams or gentle skin cleansers and bath or shower gels with added moisturizers.
- Reduce bathing frequency. Bathe just once a day or every other day, and take brief baths and showers, using warm rather than hot water.
- Moisturize. Apply a rich oil-based moisturizer immediately after washing your hands or bathing, while your skin is still damp.
- Apply sunscreen. To prevent further damage to your skin, apply sunscreen before you go outside.
- Use a humidifier. Increase moisture levels in your home by using a humidifier.
Practice good oral hygiene
Be sure to have regular checkups and use any special rinses or toothpastes your dentist recommends. If your mouth is chronically dry, try drinking more water and sucking on ice chips or hard, sugarless candy. When these measures fail, your dentist may prescribe a medication to stimulate the flow of saliva.
Alternative medicine
To help boost blood flow to extremities, you might try hypnosis or biofeedback, a technique that teaches you to control certain body responses.
Coping and support
Because limited scleroderma can affect your appearance and your ability to perform simple tasks, your self-esteem may suffer. It's common for people with limited scleroderma to become depressed.
Talking with a counselor may help you come to grips with the changes caused by this disease. Communicating with people facing the same illness, either through online or in-person support groups, may also be helpful.

Well as a lot of Readme, indicate to put the addons into the Res Addons' folder, I was curious about your choice to place addons in general, depending of the version eg:1.75,1.91 or the new "model" invoked sometimes in the addon's Readme.
Personnaly, after a complete reinstall of OFP/Res up to 1.94; I've decided to put ALL addons in the Addons' folder of OFP, instead of putting some in Res Addons' folder, or mixing addons between the two OFP folders, after what the addonmaker tell you in his Readme.
Having made few addons myself, I did the same thing, considering it would be better for the end users to put my addon into the Res Addons' folder, until I've read somewhere that is was useless, and that every addons should go into the Addons's folder.
Since then I put all addons, the first made before Resistance release, as the latest requesting to be placed into Res Addons' folder, and so far I didn't get any troubles.

New IMC Seal of Recognition Program Enters Pilot Phase
Introducing The Seal of Recognition Program
The purpose of the International Montessori Council Seal of Recognition Program (SOR) is to offer schools a reasonably simple and less expensive method of providing prospective parents and the general public with assurance that they offer educational programs that are consistent with the essential characteristics of Montessori best practice.
The Seal of Recognition Program is not as comprehensive as full IMC School Accreditation, but rather a more limited recognition that a school meets specific standards associated with best practice in Montessori education. The Seal of Recognition can also be used as a stepping stone towards the fuller IMC Accreditation program.
The Seal of Recognition Program has a shorter period of self-study and a less intensive one day onsite visit by validators.
Although most schools try to remain faithful to their understanding of Dr. Montessori's insights and research, they have been influenced by the evolution of the culture in which they live. Despite the impression held by many parents that the name Montessori refers to a universally held and practiced educational method and philosophy, the name Montessori is
not protected by copyright, nor is there one central body with the power to authorize a schools' use of the name.
Within the Montessori movement, there is considerable discussion and debate about what is, and what is not Montessori 'best practice'. Around the world we find Montessori schools that differ dramatically from one another in terms of practice and philosophy. Some of the elements of practice over which Montessori educators have differed have been minor, however in more recent decades these variations have increased. At the same time, the internet has made it simple for parents to glean reliable information about what Montessori is supposed to look like. Every year the number of parents who contact the Montessori Foundation about the inconsistencies between theory and practice in their children's schools has grown.
As a result, many Montessori educators are concerned about these differing interpretations of Montessori. Today this issue has become a question of truth in advertising. We believe that the Montessori community needs to articulate essential criteria of best practice in Montessori education.
While Montessori may have come to mean different things to different people, underlying its many faces are essential elements of Montessori best practices. These core principles have resulted in a model which is highly effective, replicable, adaptable to different settings, and sustainable. These characteristics led to its world-wide dissemination and caused it to stand the test of time.
The IMC attempts to walk a razor's edge by encouraging ongoing dialogue among Montessori educators who come from many different perspectives, while at the same time attempting to define and promote the legacy of essential Montessori principles and best practice.
This new program is designed to grant an IMC Seal of Recognition to Montessori schools which offer excellent Montessori programs but cannot afford the time and expense of completing full IMC school/centre accreditation. It provides a means by which excellent Montessori schools can be officially recognized at reasonable cost by focusing only on those aspects that are essential to Montessori best practice.
Purpose of the IMC Seal of Recognition Program
The primary purpose of the International Montessori Council Seal of Recognition program is to educate the administrators and trustees of Montessori schools in the 'best practices' basic to the development and leadership of educational programs that, by policy and design, represent best practices of authentic Montessori education.
Schools that consistently provide an authentic Montessori program tend to be both effective in their work with children and are worthy of public confidence and trust. The 'best practices' considered in the Seal of Recognition program place focus on the administration of the quality and integrity of the school/center's educational program. In contrast, the IMC
school accreditation program looks at all aspects of a school/centre.
The standards considered in the Seal of Recognition program establish guidelines for policies, procedures and practices. The school is responsible for ongoing implementation of those policies which are consistent with 'best practices'.
A second purpose of the IMC Seal of Recognition and IMC School Accreditation Program is to provide the public with information which will assist in the selection of schools that meet recognized standards of excellence in Montessori educational practice.
This document can also be used by schools as a tool in establishing authentic practice. This may be useful when in comes to dealing with their own bureaucracies.
Schools that are awarded the Seal of Recognition are responsible for compliance with their national, state/provincial and local laws, in addition to those requirements defined by the standards. These include:
- Educational Program, including characteristics of authentic Montessori programs, group size, student-teacher ratios, and curriculum
- Human Resources, including qualifications, screening, training and supervision of school/centre faculty and staff.
While the Seal of Recognition program's standards focus on educational practices, the IMC Seal of Recognition is not a guarantee that the individual student will meet specific educational objectives, nor can it guarantee that no injury or harm will occur.
IMC Recognition does, however, indicate to the public that the school has voluntarily invited its practices to be compared with the standards of 'best practice' established by leaders in the international Montessori school leadership community. At least once every five years, IMC validators/s will spend a day at the school to verify compliance with the standards.
Unlike inspections by governmental licensing bodies, the IMC Seal of Recognition program is voluntary. The IMC does not have the authority to close or otherwise penalize a school not meeting its recognition criteria, except for the removal of the Seal of Recognition status.
Licensing focuses on the enforcement of minimum standards. The Seal of Recognition focuses on the documentation and onsite verification of a school's operation using criteria and standards for its Montessori educational programs that will normally not be covered by governmental regulation.
International Montessori Council Seal of Recognition standards identify practices considered essential to the creation and leadership of a stable ongoing Montessori program that will be both authentic and effective. However, they do not require all Montessori schools to look alike. The IMC Seal of Recognition program has been designed to serve a broad range of schools: schools that are private/independent and those that are public/state sponsored; schools that are large and small; schools that are proprietary and those that are run as not for profit organizations; those that offer elementary/primary and/or secondary/adolescent programs, those that serve primarily early childhood students including all day (long day) care centers. Each school addresses, in its own way, the principles of 'best practice'
identified by the standards.
The IMC Seal of Recognition program is designed to allow for the tremendous diversity among Montessori schools around the world. It is quite different from an 'approval' model of accreditation, where accreditation as a recognized member of a particular Montessori organization requires a school to follow that association's one specific set of guidelines for teacher qualifications, curricula, etc. The International Montessori Council understands and respects the integrity of that approach, however, the IMC Seal of Recognition program is based on a different perspective, while still maintaining a sound pedagogical philosophy.
The International Montessori Council Seal of Recognition program is based on the principle that to hold an IMC Seal of Recognition, a Montessori school must be 'worthy of public trust' and follows the 'best practices' of an authentic Montessori school.
Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambush and Dr. John Stoops in their work The Authentic Montessori School (1992 Middle States Association and American Montessori Society) identified six basic areas that have served for some time as a basic definition of those essential characteristics. The International Montessori Council Seal of Recognition Program incorporates the essence of those principles. We believe that they allow for tremendous diversity, while speaking to the central issue of what one should expect to find in a responsible school that wishes to represent itself as offering a Montessori program.
The Self-Study Process
The IMC Seal of Recognition self-study process consists of three integrated phases.
Phase 1: The school clearly defines its institutional identity.
These include its Montessori principles, enduring values and beliefs, and educational outcomes.
Phase 2: The School initiates the Seal of Recognition Program Self-Study.
This document establishes how the school meets the principles of Montessori Educational Best Practice established by the International Montessori Council. The self-study process follows an easily understood, objective self-study approach. Each standard within the seven Quality Areas is carefully laid out with examples and suggested resources. The Self-study Handbook gives further indicators and rating scales. As members, schools will have access to sample policies, handbooks, and other online resources that can be adapted for individual situations.
Phase 3: The School develops a written Education Program Development Plan.
This document explains the schools ongoing plan for continuing improvement to move its educational program closer to its ideal as set forth in its educational philosophy. For schools that are not or only partially meeting standards, this document would include a detailed plan of how it would bring itself into compliance within three years with any standards that were not satisfactorily met at the time of the onsite visit.
Meeting standards.
Quality indicators which define quality are provided for satisfactory, good quality and high quality standards of practice in the self study report handbook. The indicators should be seen as indicative, but not as an exhaustive list. While the standard required for the Seal of Recognition is the same for all schools, no two schools will meet these standards in exactly the same way. Strategies which affect one school may not be effective in the same school the following year, nor will they necessarily be effective in another school of similar size and location. The Seal of Recognition provides scope for each individual school to establish strategies which best meet the standards in the context of its individual circumstances.
Each school's Seal of Recognition Self-Study committee will be asked to rate each standard from a possible range of five standards: Does not apply, unsatisfactory, satisfactory, good quality and high quality. All standards must meet a satisfactory level, some standards offer the opportunity to achieve a good or high quality.
Full details of the quality areas are in the Self-study Handbook.
Pilot Phase Opens This September
The IMC board has authorized us to accept applications from an initial pilot group of schools. Member schools have expressed interest in participating from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China and South Africa.
IMC Seal of Recognition fees.
- All IMC membership dues must be paid in full prior to beginning the program.
- $5 USD per enrolled student as of the first day of the present school year Minimum $100 US, maximum $500 USD, for each site.
- Recognition - Continuing Application Fee if the self-study and onsite process is not completed in one year: $100 US, for each site.
- After Recognition has been granted, the annual fee for Recognised schools in $100 US per site, in addition to the school's annual IMC dues. Recognised schools must maintain their membership in the International Montessori Council.
Eligibility for IMC Seal of Recognition
To be eligible to apply for candidacy for the International Montessori Council Seal of Recognition schools must:
- Be a current member of the International Montessori Council. Pay appropriate dues and fees as determined by the International Montessori Council for SOR program.
- Have been in operation as a Montessori school for at least three years.
- Deliver a Montessori educational program consistent with the International Montessori Council's definition of school and the characteristics of an authentic Montessori school.
- Submit an initial application and an annual Statement of Compliance with applicable mandatory standards and other criteria for validation.
- Submit self-study report and supporting documentation to prove that it is in compliance (satisfactory or above i.e. all starred pointers). If a school is unable to meet a standard at 'satisfactory' level they will be scored as 'unsatisfactory' or 'does not apply' and will need to state a case as to why they feel they should be exempt. In this situation the Accreditation Commission may at their discretion accept the reason providing that no less than 85% of all the Seal of Recognition standards have passed. This deviation will be noted on their certificate.
- Be visited by an International Montessori Council school on-site validators/s during a period when the school is in full operation (depending on the size of the school and facilities to be visited).

LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - A poll shows New York voters nearly evenly divided on natural gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing.
The Siena Research Institute poll released Monday says voters statewide were split 40-40 percent when asked if the Department of Environmental Conservation should lift a 4 ½-year-old moratorium on fracking. The remaining 20 percent had no opinion. In the Southern Tier region where drilling would most likely start, the poll showed 48 percent opposed and 47 percent favored lifting the ban.
The poll found opponents of fracking were far more passionate in their positions than supporters were.
The agency has a Feb. 27 deadline to complete fracking regulations or let them expire.
The telephone poll conducted Jan. 27-31 surveyed 1,154 registered voters and has a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
All right I am saying that the Obama campaign made two serious -- as this week.
The one.
-- one comparing the president's tax plan to Ronald Reagan's two.
A -- and I think modeled response to Hilary Rosen is comments about it and Romney.
Fox News political analyst Juan Williams is in DC I'm looking for agreement TO farm.
Do you agree with me that these -- too bad bad political mistakes let's take the Reagan analogy for us.
President Obama says this is not the Buffett rule this is the Reagan rule implying.
-- that Reagan approved a tax increase is when he did the exact opposite I say that's a mistake and you say.
I'd say they're right he did in fact say that you know he was willing to have tax increases and he had several tax increases on his -- that's a matter of historical fact -- took that -- took the quotes about the bus driver on the million act completely out of context.
Ronald Reagan lower tax rates for every -- and set off prosperity for the nation's the next generation.
To take -- agreement that we hold I don't know and I agree with that Stewart but you've got to remember you're talking about tax rates and remember he had tax increases so separate from the rates.
Yet look at what happened was Ronald Reagan cut tax rates.
And brought in -- money from taxation because he'd know look at rates.
I think you playing semantics now I don't know -- -- announced a very dangerous game for President Obama to try to ridicule.
President Reagan when he was so successful and thus far President Obama has not been.
You want to -- usually get a call it's a mistake.
None auto and you should know he wasn't ridiculing President Reagan in fact he has read -- and you'll biographies by Lou Cannon novel like and this has.
Aggravated some of his liberal admirers as they what's he doing having this you know.
Man crush on Ronald Reagan because -- -- Reagan is a very successful president I can tell you that from inside the white.
I think he was ridiculing his supporters but I can I wanna move on to what where it went -- -- that let let's move -- the second what I -- huge mistake.
When Hilary Rosen said and Romney had -- awoke today in her life.
I think the response to that from -- Connie was modeled in the extreme.
And I think President Obama failed to repudiate.
Outright and forcefully.
Back remark I say that was a huge political mistake.
I think it was the best political mistake so guess what Stewart on this wonderful Friday the thirteenth we get one out of two agreement between Barney -- Williams that bad not bad it off event but here's the thing.
I mean in my wife my family.
She took care of the kids and she has the experience in Washington of going to these big you know events that I go to and people just look at Wright pastor like she doesn't exist and -- it offends her greatly so.
That's a mistake you don't want to anger America's women.
Because even -- a woman has -- job you know she understands we're raising a child is serious and important work.
-- I think that for the first week it all been many many weeks.
I think president Obama's on the back foot.
And I think the Romney campaign is kind of beginning to move forward and taking a little bit of the initiative that would be my judgment on the week -- all we in agreement yet again.
Yeah I think I hope they're starting to pivot obviously this is the -- Santorum got there's just starting to get going.
And it may have to make a big effort right now on the women's issue but I think in general in terms of re -- the economic message.
You know the economic message has been Obama has got an entitlement society and all that and a and and that -- that.
Romney buys into the Ryan budget I think they're not trying to change say it's more of a government centered it's as big government this is not the -- wanna -- -- they've got to get that message formulated and do it in such a way that -- Begin to hear I don't think it's come through quite its door but you're right this is a -- week and they're starting to change and good luck to them.
Yeah excellent I I think it will almost singing combined half along with all of those -- Stiller I wanna come back on your show -- -- Africa.
-- favorite and that's a fact -- -- Williams who will have make any time thanks -- being with us appreciate it.

In Winfield, she finally felt at home. She attended the same school as her father. She excelled in academics and in track.
Her grandfather, Johnny Spann, found himself driving the girls to ball games, cheerleading practices, track meets, the movies -- at a time when all his friends were going on cruises and heading off to the golf course.
It was a job he relished.
I can never be your dad because you had a dad, he'd tell them, but I can try to do those things that your dad would've done for you.
He told them about their dad checking out the book at age 16 and knowing then that he'd join the CIA. He told them how their dad flew his airplane over football practice after he got his pilot's license.
He told them that kids screw up all the time -- and that when they did, just apologize. He told them to look around Winfield and talk with the town elders about what life had taught them.
Life's lessons are a whole lot better than reading out of a textbook, their grandfather would say, if you just listen to somebody tell it.
That was one of the things he stressed most, to listen and learn.
"I've always tried to use examples of people who were successful in life and what they did different than other people that made them stand out," he says. "I tell them all the time: Y'all have lost your mom and dad, and it sucks. There's just no way to say it; it's just bad. But you have to play with the cards you're dealt."
At 65, he's proud of how well his three grandchildren, especially Alison as the oldest, are doing in life. In Alabama-speak, "They've got their heads screwed on right."
"But I guess I've always been real positive that they would excel."
When grief strikes
Alison attended the University of Alabama for a semester before heading on to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
At one point early on, she and her Pepperdine suitemates gathered around to tell each other their life stories. Much of it was normal college banter: problems with parents, sibling rivalries, difficult boyfriends.
Then came Alison's turn to speak. Usually she kept her story to herself, but this time she told everything. "It felt good to open up to them, because trying to keep that kind of thing under wraps around people that I live with 24-7 would have been a huge burden. Those same people are still my closest friends."
One of them, Jordan Willner, still remembers that day and how everyone else "kind of wished we could take our stories back because it doesn't even compare."
"No one would ever guess in a million years that this girl has no parents," she says, "because she has such a high spirit about life."
It's strange how grief works. It differs with each person, each child. And when it comes, it can be paralyzing.
Alison had never really cried over her parents' deaths. It was as if she had tucked her sadness into a remote part of her brain. Mom and Dad will come back, she told herself.
"I just sort of put that in the background as if my parents hadn't died," she says, "and that caught up with me."
During her sophomore year, she spent a semester abroad in Italy. Traveling overseas wasn't unusual. She had vacationed in London and visited her friend Becky Card in Paris, and she loved it.
Yet there in Italy, she learned that the mother of one of her friends had died of cancer. Then, she was on Facebook when friends in Alabama started posting news of a 16-year-old boy who had been killed in a car crash in a neighboring town.
She didn't know the boy, but she flashed back to when her parents died: the rush of people at the house, the gifts, the flowers, the food.
Alison cried for a week. She couldn't leave her room.
Friends and family rallied around her. Her stepmother told her she was finally confronting her grief in ways she hadn't 10 years earlier: "This is you dealing with stuff that you never came face to face with."
