For the first time, a teacher is in charge of state investigations of educator misconduct.
But those who abuse students or act unprofessionally should not view James I. Miller as a friend, he says.
"I'll probably be harder on them. I want the best people in the classroom," said Miller, director of the Office of Professional Conduct. "Ultimately, I want kids safe."
Miller, 53, a former Dublin teacher, principal and assistant superintendent, took the job in September after his predecessor was promoted to another job in the Ohio Department of Education.
Now, Miller leads a staff of 11 that builds misconduct cases, metes out written discipline and makes recommendations to the State Board of Education when it thinks educators' licenses should be revoked or suspended.
State Superintendent Susan T. Zelman, who created the office in 1999, said she wanted a leader with an educational background because the office already has three lawyers.
"Jim Miller comes from a district as a human-resources specialist with 13 years of experience working with 1,500 students," Zelman said. "Jim's human-resources experience and leadership skills should serve him well in his new position."
Miller inherits an office that is under the microscope after a 10-month Dispatch investigation found serious flaws in the teacher-discipline system.
State lawmakers, Gov. Ted Strickland and the State Board of Education have called for changes in the way it operated under former director Adrian Allison, who now is responsible for bolstering the academic performance of Ohio's 21 urban school districts. By his own admission, Miller is not an expert on educator discipline.
He couldn't think of any misconduct cases that he handled during his 21 years as a Dublin administrator.
However, he once fired a teacher for incompetence, Miller said: "It came down to, do I want kids in that classroom?"
That logic, he said, should apply in misconduct cases.
The professional background of the director shouldn't matter if a director has the best interests of students in mind, said Charol Shakeshaft, a school sex-abuse expert and professor at Virginia Commonwealth University.
"The best person for the job is someone who understands all of the abuse issues, is committed to make sure that teachers who abuse or who are involved in inappropriate activities with students are removed from teaching, who is tenacious, willing to advocate and push for child safety," Shakeshaft said.
That description makes Miller the right person for the job, one of his former bosses said.
"Jim Miller was a kid person first. Teachers came in a close second," said Steve Anderson, a former Dublin superintendent who now is superintendent of the Jackson schools, in southeastern Ohio. Miller has been surprised that so many educators -- 1,700 since 2000 -- have been disciplined by the state.
"I envisioned maybe 100 cases. I had this pie-in-the-sky feeling about teachers," he said.
Miller said he can make some of the changes needed to improve Ohio's discipline system, and others will require legislative or State Board of Education intervention. He's not convinced that his office has enough investigators. There are four: a former deputy sheriff, a former teacher and two paralegals. This year, misconduct cases are up 20 percent compared with 2006.
Miller also wants to speed up investigations. The department should be able to take action within six months of a criminal conviction and in three to six months in other cases, he said.
In the past seven years, cases that involved criminal convictions took an average of eight months before the department acted on educators' licenses, a Dispatch analysis of state education data shows. In 85 investigations, the department's work took more than two years.
In some cases, educators were convicted during the department's investigation.
Allegations that didn't involve criminal convictions have taken an average of nine months to resolve since 2000, but some dragged on for years.
"Everybody wants everything to happen quicker," Miller said.
He also said that educators need a code of conduct that details the consequences of misbehavior.
The Ohio House passed a bill Wednesday that would require the Education Department to draft a code. It also calls for the department to establish punishments for school districts and administrators who don't properly notify the state of suspected misconduct. Gone are the days, Miller said, of assuming educators know how to act.
"It disappoints me," he said. "I believe education is the most honorable profession. We need to realize the impact we have on kids."
As a reminder, a portrait of school-age children hangs behind his office desk.
One of the issues that the new director of the Office of Professional Conduct wants to address is the pace of discipline investigations.

jaejoong was really obsessed about working out when he first started out in the entertainment business. then after dongbangshinki went overseas to japan he didn't have much time anymore cause he was busy learning their language and also because the japanese fans liked their men small. so he really became smaller after his years in japan. he only started to work out again a few months before coming back to korea cause the fans in korea liked him buff and appreciated his body that way. but now he's back in japan and his fans have again requested that he not work out so much, so he's toned it down. i personally like him how he is right now. not too big and yet not so stick skinny like the rest of the japanese artists.
but one thing he's very shy about are his legs. they're soooo super skinny! he's so cute though so i don't care.
if you guys want another pretty boy, since you've all seen how beautiful jaejoong is already! here is my fave! suju's heechulie!!!
I still live in the old days.

Whoa, are you speaking English? Wha?
It's weird how pretty boys are so popular. Men should be like men. I think 90% of all Japanese/Taiwanese/Korean male celebrities need more testosterone shots.
Much better.

omg I agree!
I usually go back when it's winter over there, but one time, it was summer in China.
So because it's hot and I don't want to die of heat, I wore a tank top. Boy oh boy, people were looking at me as if I was a prostitute!!! but then again, that was quite a long time ago. they're better with accepting western culture.
Sometimes it's hard to love someone because you're so afraid of losing them.
Who is this?
Let's look at some Asian guys who deserve the "manly" credits:
Park Shin Yang - Korea
Andrew Lien - Taiwan
Tay Ping Hui - Singapore
Yutaka Takenouchi - Japan
Lau Ching Wan - Hong Kong
What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
Nah. Manliness in men is overrated. It can come out real well (like Vincent Cassel or Paul Newman) and it can come out real wrong (like John Wayne or Clive Owen).
I agree that trends tend to be annoying, but that applies to any trend, any time, any place.
With some guys, girliness is very becoming - and androgyny can be very hot (that applies to androgynous girls, too).
I'd take Leslie in high heels over Harrison Ford in a hat any day. Too bad Leslie wouldn't have me, but then, that line of thinking would have been a pure theory (read "just silly fangirl drooling") even before he died.
blueberry: I suppose that Takeshi is a borderline "pretty boy" (and I am quite sure he'd be considered too effeminate by many), but Tony Leung Chiu Wai is IMHO masculine enough. You may say he doesn't look particularly strong or intimidating or rough or whatever. But I don't think he qualifies as "girly" or "pretty".

Well that's Paul Newman.
The above men are manly to me except maybe Takeshi Kaneshiro. There are times when Kaneshiro is more or less manly, other times he's rather effeminate.
Manliness is not overrated at all. You're putting too much emphasis on your personal taste. Take Lau Ching Wan for example. I don't find him good looking at all, but the guy is at least a man. Same thing with Clive Owen, he doesn't do it for me, but he looks like a man. I rather see an ugly masculine man than a good looking sissy. So you don't find Indiana Jones cool? And are you talking about Leslie Cheung? Leslie was delicate looking, but he still looked masculine enough. When he wore high heels, it was for show only. The difference between Leslie and todays Asian celebrities are their look with the long hair and their feminine poses. They simply repulse me. Leslie never repulsed me.
Has it occured to you that it's ALL a matter of personal taste?
To each their own. And it's not like I cannot appreciate a masculine guy. (On the contrary.)
I just cringe at formulations of the type "men should be this or that for crying out loud". Men can be whatever the hell they want. Macho, sophisticated, sissy. I can't stand macho (well - unless it's Lo Meng, I suppose), you dislike sissy, but I'd leave it at that.
太阳 我在这里
Yeah, for Takenouchi's charm, I'd use such description "capable of changing a straight guy's preferences to gay".
I would use "boyish" to describe Tony Leung Chiu Wai.I'd say Lau Ching Wan is more attractive than hot/handsome/hot.
How about Tony Leung Chia-Wei and Takeshi Kaneshiro? Can those two be considered 'manly' enough?
Another example of "attractive than hot/handsome/hot" would be Jacky Cheung. On top of attractive, I would add "charming".

Here's a clarification of why Dunnross is nothing more than a board troll.
On the following graph, Robert claims that the rise in inventory B is insignificant compared to the drop in inventory A.
Dunross demands that Robert prove B is insignificant by submitting a statistical regressive analysis of A versus B. Otherwise Dunross says he's going to claim victory and win the argument.
Now I don't really care if you think the housing market is going lower or higher or flat. However this type of childish stupidity should not be tolerated by anyone regardless of your views on the market.
Let this be on the record, that the two weasels, Iwog and his pet, are trying to weasel out of this argument, as always. Don't you think that this type of proof would be somewhat straightforward for a Berkeley graduating Math Professor? The point is, and it should now be obvious to everyone, that this rise in inventory is not Statistical Noise, because there is a fundamental explanation behind it. You see, there was a Foreclosure and Mortgage settlement filed in court back in March. This settlement is now clearing the way for more foreclosures coming down the pipe. In fact, there is a huge wave of foreclosures, coming in, and for Phoenix it's as certain as their annual heat wave. Of course, our two hoodlum realtards don't want you to know that, and, so they keep weaseling their way out, but this time around, I am sure that most of you would agree, that they are backed into a corner.
Oh, BTW, here is the link, which predicted this rise in foreclosures in Phoenix, back in March, and low and behold, it is here and now:

Public sector strikesI see the country was at a standstill today as the public sector striked - NOT!
Are they shooting themselves in the foot by striking, we now know we don't need most of them anyway
Am I off in my own little world? I had no idea there was a strike!
What if the Hokey Cokey IS what it's all about?!
Tours With Paws - I broke my dogs...but the views were worth it!
Even less support for it than there was last time. Those interviewed on Beeb news last night all parroted the same whinge; "We're striking to protect our pension rights".
They don't seem to have noticed that pensions for today's workers ain't what they were; for anybody (except MPs, of course, which should also change). I'm lucky in that I have a final salary pension, but I'm one of the last; my erstwhile colleagues have 'money purchase' schemes with no guaranteed payout, and those changes have been pretty universal across professional private sector jobs. Even where final salary schemes still exist, they are largely closed to new members and so are a dieing species. The public sector workers cannot expect to be protected from these universal changes at the expense of those who are not so protected. I think many realise this, hence the dwindling support. Sent from my Bardic lamp held out of the window of a Churnet Valley signal box.
Re: Public sector strikesIf they wish to lose a days pay and money towards their pension then so be it, I can understand anyone wishing to fight to protect such a gold plated pension but they can't on the one hand complain about cuts in services if they are unable to offer up a solution to solving the deficit ( goodness that sounds so much like last nights finance meeting I attended!)
I'm afraid they are the last people to have their pensions changed, perhaps if they has supported all the private sector workers when their pensions were being destroyed by Gordon Brown people would have more sympathy. Dream as if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today.
Is there a strike? Not noticed the world coming to an end.
I do have a grand in a Civil Service pension from when I worked at the DHSS after school. Not bothered about it and certainly not going to fight for it (took me 20 years to find it!). My own personal pension that I have paid into for years and hoping to retire at 55 is now peanuts and I wish I had put the money into property, which is what I am doing now. I have lived in the commercial world where change happens and you have to accept that. I have no sympathy for the strikers, especially having worked there for 6 years and no what an easy life some of them have (and I say this having been on holiday with 2 civil servants last week who confirmed things are mostly the same now).
Just had the Unison rep in the office quoting the 'protect our pensions'. As my public sector pension is worth all of £600 a year (not a misprint, only been in for three years and hadn't intended on being in that long) I had to chuckle. I did ask how these gold plated pensions were to be safeguarded whilst being affordable without bankrupting the country. There was no answer forthcoming, just that the pensions have to be protected. At all costs. Hmmmmm. Yes there should be some protection IMHO but there will never be the type of pensions offered in the past as they have proven to be unaffordable, both in the public and private sector.
Those currently working and in their forties and younger may just have to accept that the age of decent pensions as being enjoyed by those currently retired are gone (indeed three of my team are drawing pensions that are more than my salary, having retired and then returning to a 'job for the boys' to eeek them out until they are 65). I personally think I will be working well into my 70's. (I should possibly have invested in property rather than a commercial flying licence too, but sometimes following one's heart is more appealing and may allow a more enjoyable life, albeit a skinter one )
I have a final salary pension... Always said I was special. What if the Hokey Cokey IS what it's all about?!
Tours With Paws - I broke my dogs...but the views were worth it!
Cobblers. A reduction in pension benefits is exactly the same as a pay cut. When you are employed it is on a package of pay and benefits. These may include wages, holiday, gym membership, private health, bonuses, etc etc, but at the end of the day they are what you are given in return for your labour. If the value of your pension is reduced that is de facto your remuneration package being reduced. It is not unnatural for you to wish to complain. As did the BA cabin crew.

And, by the way, is "gold plated" synonymous with "final salary"? Because my pension may be final salary, but its value in actuarial terms is still rubbish compared with the contribution based one I had at my previous employer. It's less risky which *to me* has a value, but equally has less opportunity to be worth *more* than expected.
The governments already doing that for them, so no need. Frequently misunderstood
Well, yes, that's the point really isn't it? Reduce money out? Increase money in? Hence the tax raid on private pensions. Hence no (or very few) pay rises in the private sector in the past few years. In 5 or 6 years I've (along wtih my colleagues) had one 2% pay increase. In the meantime my final salary pension has been axed, my pension pot has been raided for tax, the retirement age has gone up, etc. If we go on strike now, will we get back what was taken from our pension funds? Will we get to retire at 60 on a full pension? I don't expect so. Has my remunreation package been reduced? Yes. Both by my company and by the government. That's the way it is these days. If you haven't had this happen to you, you're probably living in some sort of bubble. When, as is the case in Germany, the public sector earns about 2/3 of the equivalent in the private sector, there may be cause to give some extra benefits in the long run. But when the public sector pays 15% more than the private sector (in some parts of the country anyway) then I don't think they have any more cause for complaint than we did. Where are these jobs with gym membership?! Having said that, we got to use the local gym/pool in Stockholm (Kista) when I was working out there.
Not quite. BA offered a pay rise in exchange for the reduction of 1 cabin crew per aircraft ( which meant that the senior cabin crew had to work the trolley) The Union (whose reps were mostly senior cabin crew who would have had to work harder with the new deal) refused to negotiate. BA eventually imposed the changes and the strike arose. Amongst the more crazy aspects of the strike, the Union at one point actually proposed a pay cut for CC in exchange for the return of the senior crew member! (BA refused this on the grounds it was unfair and did not make the required cost saving) Who is onlineUsers browsing this forum: Bing [Bot] and 9 guests |

Welcome to another edition special report on line I'm Bret -- in Los Angeles we thought -- try this remotely see how it worked.
It's not working so far but that's okay it's early.
So bear with me but if you haven't been here before.
You can take your questions and comments.
And eventually I'll be able to read them and we'll bring in the panel and have a discussion here for a little bit also you can vote on the polls here.
On the screen let's bring in our panel again Byron York chief political correspondent for the Washington examiner Juan Williams columnist with the hill and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer.
I forgot to say in the show by the way Juan congratulations.
On your new twin grand babies.
Thank you somewhat better it's really you know -- -- moments in Everett clinic.
-- -- even the crew here in DC is excited so we're all -- thank you.
Twin grand babies what are the names.
Well it says while pepper.
Pepper and Wesley and then in the middle names are content -- -- conjunction -- grandmother's name so you know you come out with.
Halloween is and I Sloan and that just it's just -- a wonderful moment you know I'm I'm a big cynic.
And I never give much attention -- stuff and then all of a sudden I found myself just very emotional the idea being a grandfather.
That's also now are these the first two not to give your third degree here but none I haven't I grandsons two years old and and so now in these two girls so it's gonna.
It's going to -- turn my life upside down.
Man get ready for Christmas.
OK let's talk about politics you know we left off.
Talking about the presidential race and how things and shifted Charles you were saying that you think the Romney campaign needs to get more aggressive.
And kind of really hit home some of those lines were talking about is there a sense do you think that Romney's not.
As aggressive as he needs today.
Where that is my sense I mean you know they they were given a gift with is terrible gaffe that Obama may -- to present just to slip it was sort of the the trailers political philosophy when he would not on this -- You know you you think you've built it was your hard work -- -- -- And you're ingenuity and you didn't.
It's society especially its government we built the bridges -- roads.
And that kind of philosophy is basically -- -- into the United -- it's a fairly left wing philosophy wouldn't hear of Bill Clinton saying that.
A Bill Clinton whose prestige Obama wants to borrow in the convention.
By having him speak on the third night was a guy who declare the error of big government is over and he signed.
Reform of welfare that Obama is now by administrative action on doing.
I'm doing the work requirements so this is a new kind of liberal and all of a sudden he gives Romney campaigning gift within context if you play the whole tape.
Which was -- which is what I would do on a loop over and over again hit Obama on this idea that he's ideologically.
-- -- touch with the Americans because this attack on Romney of being out of touch socially.
Is being polluted creditors and don't care that he's taking.
I'm not sure Obama -- -- he's gonna have a good.
Opportunity to undo that he'll have one opportunity in the debates.
But he better hit really well there and humanize himself.
But I think in the meantime in the interim while he's still getting hurt.
And the image of Obama cares and Romney doesn't he's taking hold he has to counter -- I think and the way to do it as -- -- very honestly.
In the realm of ideas and that's where I think Barack Obama is vulnerable.
Fill in Pennsylvania says congrats -- my favorite -- substitute Jackie says nothing in the world as wonderful as a baby and Colin says.
Is -- old enough for grandchildren.
So nobody really cares about the politics sales -- wants to grand babies for.
That's the way out -- -- I don't have an -- Joker.
It so -- -- notoriety of the grand children is that.
You get -- -- rentals.
You can return to -- at the end of the day.
Half that's what I'm Smart friends -- he's got it right kicked Chara got it right -- it's.
Joker here typed in -- K hall Eric wants to know.
Whether Romney can win Ohio want I mean listen we've seen these polls go up and down.
It's been fairly solid for President Obama in Ohio but as -- mentioned Romney -- probably going to deploy a lot there.
And probably will be there a lot and we don't even know if Rob Portman is going to be the VP nominee or not so a lot can change in the short time.
I think a lot can change in the course the big one is something you touched down during the show -- which is the amount of money.
That's going to be available to the Romney forces after the convention once he is the general election candidate officially.
The doors will open to a lot of dollars.
That are now being stacked up in those states a state like they'll hire -- ready getting super pac ads running.
But again to reinforce something I was trying to -- earlier those ads -- general negative ads about President Obama.
And still pres Obama's favorability far outstrips.
Mitt Romney's but during the general election if you get the ideological argument Charles was referring to earlier -- get really hard hitting ads that attempt to.
Damage President Obama we don't know exactly what they will do and we don't know president Obama's forces will have the money.
To respond because his burn rate is so astronomical at this moment he is using a lot of dollars to get the lead that he has right now.
And he's begging for money right now.
-- Go right back well it -- Obama is certainly begging for money right now and Romney will have more money it's the campaign finance laws.
That don't allow him to use money raised for the general election until after the convention.
He -- a huge amount of money winning the Republican primaries.
And Obama spent nothing to -- -- winning the democratic nomination so that's that disparity now but I think a lot of Republicans when it comes to Romney.
Are worried that yes he needs to do more attacking he needs to be tough -- -- -- all these attack ads and perhaps bring down the president's numbers a little bit.
But they're worried that he's not making a positive enough.
-- and these new poll numbers do suggest.
That there a lot of people to have just kind of given up they don't think the economy is going to get better no matter who is elected president and and and Romney needs to tell them.
Things can get better there is stuff we can do follow me I know what to do we can make this better and he has not been able to convince people of that so far.
Yeah we'll probably get a lot of that at the convention and that in a few weeks Alice in Manhattan Beach.
Asked if I can ask the panel if they think this election is more important than oh wait and if so why Byron you know a lot of people say.
This is a stark choice and it is.
The most important election in generation but we always hear that about elections -- this our a leash I should say from Manhattan Beach.
Wants to know what you think.
Well specifically -- I do think it's more important than no -- -- -- -- you have an exhausted party the Republicans.
Leaving power they'd lost control of congress in 06 and then President Bush exited after the 08 election so.
Obama has has turned.
The country in the direction of the US government has created it and massive new entitlement.
Is spending as -- levels and it's never been before.
Which Democrats hope I think to establish is kind of a baseline for future spending.
And if it.
If he's able to consolidate those things and in a second Obama term will be in part about protecting the accomplishments of the first Obama term so I I -- Very important -- I agree entirely I think what was important about it away -- that we didn't really know.
Well what who Obama was ideologically and his use charismatic he came out of nowhere.
But he didn't have a paper trail he didn't have a legislative record.
He had no signature achievements.
He was a mystery man who were -- who wrote two books about himself.
And spoke in many ways to appeal to a lot of constituencies.
What I thought was fascinating around his presidency.
Is that he didn't declare himself and -- -- a month after he was sworn in when he made that speech to a joint session of congress.
What he said I'm here to change America he was very specific.
In three ways to fundamentally change health care.
A six of the US economy energy which is what industrial economy.
Lives on an education which is the future this is a man who was huge ideological ambitions and he's governed that way with the stimulus.
And Byron indicated huge amounts -- spending.
I nationalizing health -- essentially trying to nationalize energy with cap and trade but he failed so that if he serves one term.
I think -- all be on -- and then we will be a parenthesis in American history.
You have this conservative ascendancy starting -- Reagan and they'll be a parenthesis of Obama Obama wins we are on a new.
Trajectory which is going to be a real liberal ascendancy.
I would say left liberal ascendancy.
That would change of the country fundamentally.
Sharon writes Romney should watch videos of Ronald Reagan get tough.
But also loosen up Charles you made the point on the panel that these debates may be really important this time around.
For that very point if Romney could loosen up or show people that he's.
Somehow connecting with them while also getting tough on personal -- These could be the most important debate since debates of 1980.
Where Reagan showed up you -- -- it has.
Extremist -- -- that guy kind of a radical he showed up and he says to Jimmy Carter there you go again.
-- are shucks he's G -- that scary.
He has no horns look most Americans who don't spend all their lives as we do.
As we do for our sins following all these guys day and night.
Have no idea little Romney is except what they're getting from the barrage of ads in these swing states about.
-- -- grad who cares nothing about the workers.
Who lost their jobs.
In the in the companies he took over so he's gonna have one chance three chances actually in the debates.
To show himself to be more human -- guy who cares and that's scary about that that's attached.
He's never going to be the charismatic hands -- hands -- guy.
That Obama is but if you could just soften the image.
And humanize it it to some degree either way the Reagan did.
I think he wins presidency.
-- -- -- we're getting closer to this VP pick.
Just by the fact that another day has gone by right we are closer.
Has so we don't know what it's gonna be but it looks like maybe the week of the twelfth.
People are now bubble and up all kinds of things Paul Ryan.
Really getting a lot of whispers.
And the in the folks inside.
Rubio again in the mix and he was thought not to be in the -- What do you think.
I don't think rubio is really back in the mix but you must say that you know if you talk to people.
You know including Bill O'Reilly our own Bill O'Reilly if they only -- they think rubio is the guy they see rubio as.
It's kind of a change agent he would shake up their race and Condi Rice is also I think in that same categories and we shake up there is but I don't take either of them.
At this point as serious contenders I think it really is.
The case that Paul Ryan is getting much more talk much more chatter -- -- well.
In the back rooms as someone who really wrapped presents and I think this fits with the rest of our conversation here tonight.
Fits with someone who is has strong ideological -- who can make the case aggressively.
He's not only -- guy who can talk about the need to erase the debt that that's a big issue and that they have split.
The Republican Party has sprint when it comes to handling economic issues to being very clear -- about what it's gonna take to get this economy back on track.
That's what Paul Ryan brings in addition to his youth.
You see youth would be the change agent there this is the future of the Republican Party and here is someone.
Who can really come in and shake it -- that the downside would be it would open the door to Democrats think.
All right you have not identified what cuts you would make in order to have any kind of balanced budget.
Neither has Mitt Romney where your ideas and we -- look at them on the panel earlier tonight.
Where the idea for you guys have.
For how to straighten out this economy and why is it that you wanna give tax cuts for the rich but you won't tell us what loopholes you wanna close -- so we can anticipate that -- -- that would be the flag that part of that.
-- and he's gonna.
-- gonna get painted with Ryan's budget anyway I mean there you look at any lawmaker to -- on the democratic side on the on the floor they called the Romney Ryan plan -- -- you know so it's it's he's gonna get -- with -- anyway why not have the guy who can talk about it best.
And as far as tax loopholes.
You know that they've talked about tax reform.
But -- you're right haven't -- specific now about exactly how it's going to go let me ask oh by the way by the way -- let me just interject and get a Rob Portman.
Hi and I think I think Byron said this earlier you know he could help in Ohio I think he would help he's pretty popular senator.
And he has the budget experience the down -- there would be the bush associations or affiliations.
But thought you know who do you yeah you have to -- here on the inner -- you have to wait what's the positive what the negative and I think in that.
In that calculation.
Ryan comes out on top.
Byron you mentioned this earlier and -- -- Some people's attention on here that they're upset about the way polls.
The much how much weight we give different polls.
The fact that we are focused on polls it is.
The barometer and which we cannot measure these different battlegrounds it's what we have to -- -- But people say or reading too much -- -- stuff polls that way over sampled Democrats.
You made -- mention -- this about the sampling.
What about polls and how much would pay attention to.
Well Republicans have been some Republicans have been upset about the the New York Times poll in particular and its mix of Democrats and Republicans.
All day but I've I've talked to some pollsters about this specific one they they don't find the changes that -- they do find -- -- a little bit toward Democrats but other polls have shown.
The president ahead in in some of the swing states so -- that's not a big deal I think I do think.
The polls turn out to be reasonably accurate accurate if you put them all together I mean that the 2000 -- election results were very close to what the real clear politics average of polls showed right before.
The election you can say -- got the polls in July or August are are never how it ultimately turns out -- the race changes.
Between July and August and November Election Day.
But they tell us a lot about what's happening right now in and you can look conceived of Romney is not.
Appealing to of this need during this desire of the electorate Obama is not appealing to that.
And you can tell a lot about what's going on.
Charles let's turn the topic to GSA this latest scandal.
This investigation continues some 77 conferences in which -- money was clearly wasted according to Republicans running these hearings.
Does that sink -- to that collective.
About being in a big deal.
I think it does it depends how much.
It gets played in the media.
But even know the money's here relatively small compared to the size of a three point eight trillion dollar.
Budget annual budget.
You know they're only in in the thousands or tens of tens of thousands.
I think it has a huge effect and the reason is there's.
I think -- I just hers and Democrats arguing today I think it was could have been -- of them aren't sure exactly who was.
That unless you raise taxes on the rich you're gonna have to cut defense that that's where the money's gonna come from.
You know there's going to be a piggy bank that taxes on the rates this 2%.
Is going to be what's responsible for an axis of money in anything.
It'll be schools and fire departments and battleships and everything will be short because in this 2% it's of course nonsense.
Because that 2% even if you have.
The abolition of the tax -- for the opportunity to percent it raises eighty billion dollars a year.
It was a one point two trillion dollar deficit.
So it's a miniscule amount of money.
So -- -- -- put the Democrats are going to be arguing that you have to raising taxes but then what the Republican answer will be look at TSA.
This is money that you think is gonna be it's gonna go to two carriers.
And two flak jackets for soldiers know this is money that we all know every day.
Gets wasted on a colossal scale and the federal government.
And you're getting the Democrats arguing.
That movie have to cut -- the flak jackets and the teachers and not this waste and abuse.
And stuff that we see -- on GSA.
So I think it's a very strong arm because people have a sense that just a huge amount of waste in government.
And the Democrat argument I'm raising taxes hinges on a belief.
That government is super efficient and unless you raise a small amount in taxes you have drastic cuts in services I -- it can be a potent line.
But of course of the -- the other ones who decide how much.
It gets on the air and I don't see a lot of -- I'm glad that we had -- on tonight.
Yeah out you know I mean one indeed story but the first time around -- this scandal with the picture from Las Vegas with -- administrator GSA administrator with the wind and the hot in the tub.
You know most people -- -- that most media organizations.
Some of these videos and some of the spending is pretty egregious.
They were way way way out of touch with the realities and you know.
They -- Majorly in order around the country and I think that they became somewhat insulated not in the course.
The tremendous crisis that the real estate market has had it gave them added power because they were stabilizing force their rates.
Really were keeping lots of people afloat and internally.
It led to high ratings and all these kinds of excessive bonuses and this money floating around.
I think it became a really a poisonous culture now.
The larger argument here -- is.
Also is this indicative of big government at this time is this something that let's say a Mitt Romney could use -- think this is evidence of the president President Obama.
Being out of touch and not being able to control the growth of government.
At least from my perch I don't see it and you know I mean I know that Charles is gonna have a strong disagreement with me on this but when it comes to increases in rate is spending -- A percentage of GO GDP.
I don't see Obama as the big spender I don't seem as expanding the size of government so radically.
You know even when he came to comes to the welfare set that we -- -- earlier the idea that in the middle.
Of this economic transformation in America's going through Republican or democratic president that you would say yes education retraining.
Would give you some allow you to stay on your welfare -- I just don't see that evidence that this guy is creating.
This tremendously.
You know -- for a bunch of people who wanna sit on their -- and not do anything.
Yeah Byron but.
You can also point to the national debt expanding by five trillion dollars under this present.
And I think people could make this case the Romney campaign likely will about spending.
Well you know the one thing that I thought was extremely valuable about this new video that that fox has been showing about this one day conference that they had.
And not in Washington where they had the drummers there and everybody got drum sticks and there were tapping along to the I don't know refocus their consciousness or do something it was just an incredibly.
Dumb exercise.
Just ridiculous.
And if it I think it's good for people to see.
That that if the government is doing that kind of thing.
It's good for people to see that the bigger argument I agree with Charles and you could make it a little bit bigger about taxes which is Republicans say.
Not a penny more in taxes until we stop throwing it away.
And Charles is right it's a it's a tiny amount 275000.
Dollars for this one day conference is that a tiny amount compared to a billion dollars or certainly a trillion dollars.
But the Republicans can say.
So under this kind of ways to stop throwing it away we won't even think about.
Increasing taxes until we fix that first.
That's a great point -- because I talked to Charles I talked to a lot of small business owners and big CEO's you know and they say listen will pay eight.
Will pay more taxes.
But we don't want it to go to the guy in the tub we don't want it to be going to the drum sticks we don't want it to go out the door to -- lenders that don't.
You don't pan out.
-- I think there are two separate arguments or lines of attack.
The one is independent of Obama apart from all -- simply say look we know that we have a huge behemoth.
And it wastes money back -- a lot of that TSA stuff happened years ago.
Obama obviously wasn't the one who organized that conference it's just the nature of the beast and as we just heard.
It's a very strong argument to say why raise anybody's taxes -- penny.
Until you begin to attack this nonsense and Jim -- He comes out I think every is is it him or is it.
-- cobra.
-- comes out where this stuff and -- he lists.
The hundreds of thousands -- millions to billions of dollars wasted all the payments.
That end up in the mailbox of dead people.
You know as just a single example of the the the redundancy.
You know 82 programs for job retraining everybody understands this crazy.
So there's one argument simply about the nature of the government that's that large.
A separate why these Obama is he is even worse he makes it worse because he's a believer.
In the efficacy of big government he believes in Solyndra.
In the fact that his government has gotten.
Be the engine of new enterprise innovation.
And the future's so there's this extra level of waste.
That you're gonna get from people who really believe.
It's all about government you have a two pronged argument it's intrinsic in government and Obama and the liberals want to make it even worse he got to cut.
Before you raise anybody's taxes.
Bob says what about baseline budgeting.
Number of other people say cut the spending and if you have to raise the taxes on the top tier.
Other people say don't raise taxes and all deal with the spending.
Laura and Florida says about the polls all polls except.
-- -- and are registered voters not likely voters big difference bar this poll today they put in PX CBS near times is actually.
Of likely voter poll but you are right to suggested is a different kind of polling that the type results you're getting.
Our final word on -- to vote question down the row does it help or hurt the Democrats are not make a difference on the gay marriage in the platform to -- I think it's a wash I think of those independents.
Whom -- this will offend.
Will be I think -- evenly over equally.
By those independents who think it's kind of sign of tolerance and good will so I think it might be -- Want I heard you on the panel but -- you know there are African American pastors have a real problem with that there are some Democrats who are have a problem with that.
Is it a problem inside the Democratic Party at all.
Not much I think that date as you point out some of the democratic -- black ministers in particular or or organizing around a bit.
I don't think they believe that this is enough to make people turn away from our president -- in the democratic ranks.
But you know I want to be one of the 87%.
-- I want to be one of the guys on this team voting for so.
I don't know what to do here but I guess I'd say look if you're looking for something they could be -- you know to turn the tide in this.
I don't think it's going to be there's I think it's great to go out and support your claim that man that owner Dan Cathy has a right to say anything he wants to say.
I hope he's not just putting down any kind of family but really saying that he believes in traditional families in which case god bless them.
Yeah all right -- last word well I think actually Democrats are not -- -- of.
I think you could actually hurt Democrats just a little bit one in three Democrats according to the latest Gallup poll one in three Democrats opposes gay marriage about 40% of independents.
Oppose gay marriage at the platform drafting committee.
Meeting in Minneapolis.
In which approved this this proposed plan for the platform it was him -- a unanimous vote of the fifteen member committee and they invited people to testify.
In favor of gay marriage but they only invited people who were in favor of gay marriage there were -- descending voices in this.
And I think they're not paying attention to significant number of Democrats and independents who don't like gay marriage.
OK panel Susan from Paul city I did see.
Your message just so you know I could see it and it's now on the middle.
Some people get very frustrated if they don't see their little thing in.
And the middle section but we'll get there were were put -- man hey we made the extra effort from LA.
Panel thank you very much for being here stand after a little bit extra and control room a little -- back in DC tomorrow.
After red eye flight.
Not might need a little bit more -- -- --

Prostate Seed Implants
Back to the Radiation Oncology Home Page
Radioactive seeds are sometimes placed in diseased tissue on an outpatient basis or during an operation. They may be used to keep the radiation dose focused on a specific organ or they may be placed in areas where it is difficult or impossible to assure complete surgical removal of all the diseased tissue during an operation. One type of low dose rate brachytherapy is a prostate seed implant or PSI. During this intraoperative procedure, radioactive seeds are placed within the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer. This is one of the most effective options for many men whose cancer is in an early stage. Seeds are placed using ultrasound guided implantation techniques and deliver a dose of radiation to the prostate gland, with real time dose optimization, while sparing the normal surrounding tissues. These tiny seeds contain a radioactive material, such as Iodine-125, Palladium-103 or Cesium-131 and are permanently implanted in the prostate gland where they give off low-level radiation for weeks or months and then become inert.

Emmanuel Poutot-NojaroffLaunched by Ariane 5 in May 2009, the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called Far InfraRed and Submillimetre Telescope or FIRST) is the first of a new generation of space telescopes - bigger than any of its predecessors at approximately seven and a half metres high and four metres wide and weighing around three tons, it is the first space observatory covering the full Far InfraRed and Submillimetre waveband, and the largest to work at those wavelengths. It is located 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth, around the second Lagrangian point, farther than any previous space telescope.

When Jimi Hendrix first exploded onto the scene, much attention was riveted on his radical reinvention of guitar-soloing vocabulary, technique and sound, inspired by a now-familiar roster of great blues soloists. But Hendrix had another musical asset that set him apart from similarly influenced British blues-rock contemporaries: years of experience as a professional R&B rhythm guitarist.
In its most basic form, the lick is a sequence of six notes played as a sextuplet or two sets of triplets (depending on the tempo). The notes are played on the same string, which makes it very easy to alternate-pick and build speed. Once you have mastered the basic pattern, you can apply the lick to different scales and positions to give an almost endless amount of variations.

Harmonic minor is always a very cool choice and a favorite of mine. It's great to use when you're improvising or coming up with song ideas and lead parts. So many impressive players have made great use of it in their songs — guys like Uli Jon Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Vai and many others. Mozart was also a big fan.

Long backstory on 'I Love Lucy' character
Q: On "I Love Lucy," did the character Ethel Mertz, played by Vivian Vance, have a middle name? What about her maiden name? How did she and Fred meet? — C.J.J., Binghamton, N.Y.
A: Over the years, Mertz's middle name has been reported as being Roberta, Louise and Mae. Most character biographies say she was born Ethel Mae Potter in Albuquerque, N.M. Ethel met Fred, played by William Frawley, in vaudeville, where they had a popular act. When vaudeville died out, the couple bought a New York City brownstone and became best friends with their tenants, Lucy and Ricky Ricardo.
Q: Clara Barton, the founder of the Red Cross, was nicknamed "the Angel of the Battlefield." Is this a nickname from any particular battlefield? When was she born? When was the Red Cross founded? — A.L., Georgetown, Del.

We have been talking about risks over the past few post and we have been looking at it from the view of Luke 8:43-48 which is the woman with the issue of blood. We looked at an illustration of a pumpkin in a jug in the first post which you can read here. We looked at in the last post the various fears we have which keep us from risking it all and you can read those here.
Today I want to share another illustration with you – one you might of heard before but one that is effective and showing how why we fail to take risks sometimes.
Elephants are pretty powerful creatures. They weigh in at as much as 24,000 pounds, and stand as high as thirteen feet tall. Their trunks are agile enough to pick up a single blade of grass, and strong enough to rip branches off of a tree.
Despite their enormous power, elephants can be chained. It doesn't seem to make sense – what chain is strong enough to hold an elephant who could easily pull it apart? The answer is a small one: a small chain fastened to a metal collar around the elephant's foot is attached to a wooden peg nailed into the ground. This holds the elephant so strongly that it doesn't ever struggle to break free. How does this happen?
Chaining an elephant isn't as simple as just putting a chain around its leg – an adult elephant would snap that chain without even noticing the effort. The way to chain an elephant is to start when it's a baby. You don't even need a chain – a strong rope will do. The baby elephant will struggle, but eventually it will realize that it can't break the rope, and even worse, continuing to struggle creates a painful burn on its leg. The baby elephant learns not to struggle – it accepts that the limit imposed by the rope or chain and it becomes is permanent, and there is no use struggling against it the elephant thinks.
The elephant grows up, and becomes the most powerful land mammal on the face of the earth. Here is the thing – elephants are chained to something that they could easily break but the elephants will not ever try to pull away – they simply believe they cannot do it.
The elephant is like pumpkin in the jug – bound by limits that needs to be broken. We are like the elephant and the pumpkin – we need to break free and live in the freedom and maturity that comes when we go above the limits of what we think, to reach what and who God says we are. Too often we just believe what we have been told to us by someone else or we have given up. That is why it is so important to reach beyond that to be who and what God says we are! How does this happen? It happens when we become positive risk takers who live in faith and not live in the fear. It happens when we listen to God's voice of truth and not to the voices of those around us. To me, these are the only way the jug break and elephant knows it's true power – is when the limits are pushed and positive faith risks are taken that we break free and know the true power of God in our lives.
We will talk about some practical things that the woman who touched the hem of the garment did next time but for now let me ask you this:
What is one risk you have not taken because you are chained like the elephant that you need to start pushing for right now?

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Listianah is from Indonesia. She has 3 children. She needs a loan of $125 to purchase chicken nuggets, instant noodles and other inventory.
Listianah is from Indonesia. She has 3 children. She needs a loan of $125 to purchase chicken nuggets, instant noodles and other inventory.
Listianah helps her husband support their family by operating a snack selling business. She sells snacks for children on a stand next to her house. Her main challenge is significant competition in the area, and a lack of investment capital to expand her business. Her goal is to make her business more profitable so she can improve living conditions for her family.
Listianah is requesting a loan from World Vision so she can purchase chicken nuggets, instant noodles, and other snacks to create more variety in her product inventory and attract more customers. With the additional income she will earn, she will be able to provide the basic necessities for her family and pay the school fees for her three children. In the future, Listianah plans to continue to invest in her business and eventually open a much larger stand with a greater variety of products for sale.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.

Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Listianah to expand her food and retail business where she sells snacks. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $125 to purchase chicken nuggets, instant noodles, and other inventory.
Listianah has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $5. In addition to repaying her loan, Listianah is using the additional income to pay school fees, purchase food for the family, and buy supplies in bulk. Listianah's 3 children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Listianah and World Vision Micro!
