album // Music For Parties
mute records | lp stumm2 | 09/1980 | track
cd edition cdstumm2 | 1993
After launching Mute Records
with his single 'TVOD / Warm Leatherette' as The Normal,
few would have expected Daniel Miller's next musical
move to be an album of (mostly) covers of old rock 'n roll songs.
But, then again, if you believed the liner notes Music For Parties
by Silicon Teens wasn't by Daniel Miller at all.
Rather, the album was made by Paul (percussion),
Diane (synthesizer), Jacki (synthesizer)
and Daryl (vocals) and produced by Larry
Least (a pseudonym Miller would use again as a producer
for Missing Scientists and Alex Fergusson). Erics
Hine and Radcliffe engineered
the LP. Not having been aware of Daniel Miller, Mute or anything
close when this was released (I was four years old), I'm not sure
if anyone was suckered in by the ruse at the time – by the
time I fell in love with Mute in 1991, the secret (if it ever was
one) was already out; Biba Kopf's Documentary Evidence
pamphlet made it completely clear that Silicon Teens was the work
of one man and one man alone, Daniel Miller. Apparently, at the
time, actors playing the fake quartet would be deployed for interviews.
Anyone familiar with 'Daryl's particular brand of
singing (nasal, a definite punk-informed delivery) would detect
that this was a Miller project from the first lines of opener 'Memphis
Tennessee'; anyone familiar with his electronics work before and
after would spot his unique synth work in the chirpy sounds and
harsh dissonant interruptions. Anyone who didn't, but was listening
closely to the lyrics of one of the four Miller compositions here,
'TV Playtime', may have finally got the connection with the line
'TV OD, video breakdown' delivered in a wobbly voice during
one section of that track, while behind the watery voice malfunctioning
synths not dissimilar to those deployed on Fad Gadget's
'Ricky's Hand' flutter and bleep.
To my shame, I only bought this recently, though
I had bought the album's three main 7" singles years ago. I
picked up a CD copy of the album last year from Rough Trade East
and happened upon it in the 'punk' section; I scoffed at first,
until I remembered that when I'd played 'Memphis Tennessee' to my
dad - an avowed Chuck Berry fan - back then, he screwed his face
up in disgust, as if the generally polite sounds of Miller's version
were somehow abrasive on the ears or that making an electronic facsimile
copy of a rock 'n roll track was like sacrificing a holy cow; it's
how I'd seen footage of people in punk documentaries reacting to
the Sex Pistols, so perhaps Music For Parties was punk
after all. Certainly, in 'TV Playtime' there is a dimension which
evokes the uncompromising sound of Suicide and
in turn the pre-Dare sound of Human League at their most
One of my favourite tracks here is Miller's take
on The Kinks' 'You Really Got Me', where the proto-punk / garage
rock central riff is replaced with a buzzing synth delivered over
a simple motorik beat. If this had been released as a single it
could potentially have been chart-bothering, compared with the slightly
more bouncy 'Just Like Eddie' which apparently did reasonably well
as a single. 'Do Wah Diddy' and 'Do You Love Me' again are brilliant;
these were two tracks that I absolutely detested as a child when
they cropped up on radio. The latter is frankly among the most manically
joyous songs I own, even if it doesn't start out that way. The album
version of 'Let's Dance' sounds like Depeche Mode's
'Photographic' in its Some Bizarre Album incarnation; like
Soft Cell did with their 12" version of 'Tainted Love' mixed
with 'Where Did Our Love Go?', you almost long for someone to hitch
the Teens and Mode tracks together. Irrespective, it's very danceable,
with some quite tasty big fat synth notes as well. The Ramones also
covered 'Let's Dance' for their début; when rendered on Ramones
as amphetamine-fuelled speed-punk it made complete sense alongside
their own 'Beat On The Brat', 'Sheena Is A Punk Rocker' and 'Now
I Wanna Sniff Some Glue'; here too, as a piece of high-energy synthpop,
it likewise makes complete sense and the link to The Ramones' version
comes in as Miller snarls the '1, 2, 3, 4' intro.
Aside from the abrasive 'TV Playtime', Miller also
contributes three other compositions to Music For Parties.
'Chip 'n Roll' is an insanely upbeat synth pop gem, lots of handclaps
and hissing hi-hats, as well as a gloriously twee main riff. It's
like Martin Gore's 'Big Muff' only way more poppy.
'State Of Shock (Part Two)' begs the question as to whether the
Mute archives will ever turn up, or indeed if there ever was, a
part one; this is a clanking, vaguely dark instrumental track with
a stuttering rhythm and some squelchy sounds muttering away in the
background. I'm not entirely what party you'd play this at; probably
some dark, moody place where you'd be as likely to hear Kraftwerk
nestled up alongside Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret
Voltaire. Miller's 'Sun Flight', originally a B-side to
the 'Just Like Eddie' 7" and included here as a bonus track,
is again reasonably dark and mysterious, the distorted chorus intonation
of 'Come to the sun' and some snatched radio conversation sounding
like a course of action filled will danger, even if the main keyboard
riff is singularly both captivating and entirely of its time.
Would an album like this ever get released today?
Hardly likely. Music For Parties taps into a sense of kitsch
excitement surrounding the relatively (then) untapped potential
of the synth in a pop context. Prior to this, and other albums released
at around the same time, the synth was mostly deployed by po-faced
Progsters with lavish budgets to spend on huge modular synth behemoths.
Music For Parties' most punk achievement was to take these
songs from yesteryear, remodel them as cheeky pop tunes and inject
some tradition-baiting lightheartedness.
One gripe is that this probably needs a bloody good
remaster as the sound quality sounds a little circumspect at times.
The other, in the context of having heard some snatches of 'Warm
Leatherette' covers by other early Mute artists (Fad Gadget, Yazoo,
Nitzer Ebb) would be a cover of that track
by this purported 'quartet'; now that would be fun.

This 7" single from Daniel Miller's
Silicon Teens project was released eight years
after the album Music For Parties as part of the soundtrack
to the John Hughes comedy Planes, Trains And Automobiles
starring John Candy and Steve Martin. I've read that the late Hughes
personally selected Miller's version for the soundtrack, though
you'll have to listen very carefully to find anything more than
a fleeting burst of the track during the movie.
Ostensibly a mad dash home across the States for
Thanksgiving, Planes, Trains And Automobiles is a classic
US road movie, albeit one tinged with a distinct sense of sadness
at the very end. Nevertheless, road movies need driving soundtracks,
and 'Red River Rock' works perfectly as a backdrop to the frustrating
journey that the uptight Martin and the crude, hapless Candy find
themselves on. Miller's reworking of Johnny & The Hurricane's
rock 'n' roll hit is undeniably pop of the highest order, a fast-paced
instrumental that has a shamelessly euphoric edge. The central melody
chimes well with an electronic beat and buzzing rhythm track and
one can hear the genesis of almost every synth instrumental that
Vince Clarke has recorded since departing Depeche
Mode. To the uninitiated it may scream 'novelty', but it
probably captures the futurist leanings of many Fifties teenagers
better than the original. It's also a huge amount of fun. The Planes,
Trains And Automobiles version, whilst the sleeve doesn't mention
this, is different from the version on Music For Parties;
it is clearly updated, more digital than analogue and a whole lot
crisper, but it's still just as gleeful. I'd all but given up hope
of tracking down this single, and I thought I was doing it purely
for completist reasons; finding out that this was an alternative
version was a pleasant surprise when I finally got hold of this.
The B-side 'Chip 'n Roll' is also available on Music
For Parties and also formed the B-side to the second Teens
single, 'Judy In Disguise'. It's a darker, more motorik affair whilst
still showing all the hallmarks of 1981 electronic pop and effectively
provides the bridge between the industrial clang of Miller's
more famous and Mute-launching alter-ego, The
Normal, and the early electropop of Depeche Mode.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn June 29, 1999, at 1145 mountain daylight time, (all times are mountain daylight time unless otherwise specified) a Boeing Stearman A75, N801RB, was destroyed when it collided with terrain under unknown circumstances approximately one mile southeast of Carpenter, Wyoming. The commercial pilot received fatal injuries. The flight was a positioning flight to Saint Louis, Missouri, with a fuel stop in McCook, Nebraska, and was operating under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The flight departed Rock Springs, Wyoming, at 0915, where an overnight stop was made, and made a fuel stop at Cheyenne, Wyoming. The flight departed Cheyenne at 1135.The aircraft was number four in a flight of four Boeing Stearman A75's flying in a cruise formation. Approximately 2 minutes after other pilots in the flight had radio contact with the pilot involved in the accident, they discovered the accident aircraft was no longer in the formation. The remaining three aircraft backtracked along their route and discovered the accident aircraft in an open field. One of the aircraft landed on a nearby road and the pilot proceeded to the accident site. He had a farmer call 911 and report the accident. The other aircraft in the formation returned to Cheyenne.A ground witness, located on the south side of Carpenter, observed the formation fly over his house. As the formation proceeded away from him headed in a southeasterly direction, he said the airplane on the right side entered a right hand descending turn. After approximately 160 degree of turn, the airplane disappeared from his view behind some buildings on his property and he did not observe an impact and saw no smoke so he was unaware of the accident. He said the engine noise sounded normal. The accident site was located approximately 3 miles southeast of his residence.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot was born in 1930 and held a commercial pilot certificate issued March 31, 1997, with ratings in single engine land airplanes, multiengine land airplanes, and an instrument rating in airplanes. In addition, he held a repairman - experimental aircraft builder certificate.A second class medical certificate was issued to the pilot on February 18, 1999, with no limitations.According to the operator, the pilot was experienced in the A-75 and according to available records had been through all their initial and recurrent training programs. According to company records, the pilot had 10,438 hours total flight time and 1,381 hours in the A75 aircraft. He had flown 21 hours in the preceding 90 days, 6 hours in the preceding 30 days, and 3 hours in the preceding 24 hours before the accident.AIRCRAFT INFORMATION The aircraft type was originally designated the PT17 and was built for the military as a primary trainer during World War II. Total airframe time was 11,195 hours and the last inspection was a 100-hour inspection conducted 65 hours prior to the accident. Primary hull and wing construction was wood with a fabric covering. This aircraft was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-985-14B radial engine, which produced 450 shaft horsepower @ 2,300 rpm and 37.5 inches of Hg at sea level on a standard day. The engine had a total time of 11,507 hours since new, and 531 hours since overhaul. The last inspection was a 100-hour performed 65 hours prior to the accident.The propeller was a Hamilton Standard model 2D30-249 using two metal blades. Blade design was 6101A-12. The propeller had a total time of 2,195 hours and 656 hours since overhaul. The last inspection was performed on May 24, 1999.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONAt 1156, the observed weather at the Cheyenne airport was clear skies, winds from 310 degrees magnetic heading at 17 knots with gusts to 24 knots, 10 miles visibility, temperature 73 degrees Fahrenheit, dew point 34 degrees Fahrenheit, and an altimeter setting of 29.99 inches of Mercury. WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe field where the aircraft impacted was hard, flat, and had a grass covered surface. The initial impact witness marks, oriented on a base course of 285 degrees magnetic heading, consisted of two parallel drag type marks approximately 30 feet in length. The northern most drag mark contained portions of the right wing tip. At the end of these marks was a crater approximately 18 inches in depth that contained one propeller blade and part of the engine sump. A portion of the trailing edge of the propeller blade was broken out and found in the crater with the blade and the blade exhibited twisting toward low pitch and chordwise scarring. The field was devoid of marks from the crater for about 130 feet. At that point the main wreckage consisting of wings, fuselage, and one main landing gear were located and remained as a grouping connected by cables and wires. Parts of the fuselage and wings were scattered from the initial impact point to the main wreckage in a fan-like scatter pattern. The engine, with the remaining propeller blade and propeller hub attached, was located approximately 65 feet beyond the main wreckage. The furthest item from the initial impact point was the right main landing gear, which was located approximately 302 feet down the scatter pattern. All of the aircraft was accounted for at the accident scene.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe Wyoming State Crime Laboratory performed an autopsy on the pilot on June 29, 1999. The medical examiner listed the cause of death as "massive blunt deceleration injuries." In his summary, the medical examiner noted there was significant coronary artery disease.The FAA Aeromedical Laboratory in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City performed a forensic toxicology screening. The results of the screening are attached and are discussed in the attached NTSB Medical Officer's report. The NTSB Medical Officer conducted a review of the autopsy report, FAA medical records, and the pilot's personal medical records during the investigation. No disqualifying conditions were found to exist.For details of the pilot's medical history see the NTSB Medical Officer's report.TEST AND RESEARCHAn interview was conducted with the director of training for the operator and the operator's records were reviewed regarding training, proficiency, and pilot experience. No evidence was found during the course of the investigation to indicate the pilot was improperly or incompletely trained or lacked proficiency or experience in the accident aircraft make and model.A review of the aircraft maintenance records provided no evidence of improper or incomplete maintenance. An interview was conducted with the pilot's spouse. No evidence was developed as a result of the information provided to suggest any psychological or physiological condition, which could be related to the accident. ADDITIONAL DATA/INFORMATIONParties to the investigation were the FAA and the operator of the aircraft. The wreckage was released to the operators insurance company on July 1, 1999, following the completion of the on-scene investigation. No aircraft parts were retained.

343 Industries just confirmed that the remaining five episodes of Spartan Ops will begin to release on 14 January, "clearing the way for the "Halo 4 Infinity Challenge" and the "Halo 4" Crimson Map Pack."
Moreover, between 17 December and 14 January, Spartan Ops episodes 1-5 "will be re-entered into Matchmaking (one episode per week) to support the "Halo 4 Infinity Challenge," and allow anyone who missed or wants to replay a previous chapter to easily find teammates online," 343 confirmed.

So... who wants to help me with those tricky achievements throughout Spartan Ops' previous episodes?

The Jefferson County Coroner's office has identified the man shot by a Kentucky State Police trooper in Shelbyville Sunday night.
Christopher Horine, 42, was shot after the office approached the home on Hazel Lawn in Shelbyville.
According to reports, the officer was responding to a trespassing call when Horine fired on the trooper twice. At that point, the trooper then returned fire, striking Horine.
The suspect was pronounced dead at University Hospital in Louisville.
The trooper was not injured.
Land purchased by KentuckyOne Health near I-64 could be the future home of a new Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, officials say.
"It's an exciting day for us here at Jewish Hospital Shelbyville and Kentucky One," said Jewish Hospital Administrator Rob Murphy. "I mean, obviously, the Shelby County community and the surrounding counties that we serve with Spencer and Henry, we're very invested in these communities, and we look forward to the opportunity to grow and build a new campus."
Residents are still reeling in shock in the aftermath of a police shooting that has left a Shelbyville man dead and neighbors and family members wondering what happened to lead up to the tragic events of Sunday night.
"It's the most devastating thing; I cannot believe it," said Linda Blair Davis, mother of Christopher Horine, who was pronounced dead at the University of Louisville Hospital after an altercation with a Kentucky State Police trooper in a Shelby County neighborhood just east of Shelbyville.

The commission will meet Tuesday at 6:30 at the Stratton Center, 215 Washington Street in Shelbyville, and will hear an amended development plan proposing six additional warehouses and two zone change requests for the distillery.
Information was gathered from previous years of The Shelby Sentinel, The Shelby News and The Sentinel-News. You can reach the writer at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Things are sprucing up on Main Street as a new business set up shop earlier this month.
Spruce now calls 700 Main Street home, where At Home on 7th and Main was previously located.
The new home décor and gift shop is owned by Cortney and Tyler Henry.
"The guy that was here before, he actually moved a block away from where we where, so we just kinda flip-flopped places, it worked out perfectly, and now we are five minutes from home," said Cortney Henry.
Juett D. Stucker Sr. will soon have a new book out, his first, about the history of Clay Village, where his family moved in 1943 when he was only a year old.
The book, Memories of Clay Village, should be published sometime in November, Stucker said, and will be available for sale in December.
Stucker said he has been working on the book for four years and has gone to great lengths to research it.

Victoria Beckham stars on the front cover of Elle's new look March issue
Earlier we brought you a slice of the action from Victoria Beckham's new website launch revealing her newly released short preview video of her highly anticipated eCommerce relaunch (check it out here). Now news has reached us that Victoria Beckham is also starring on the front cover of Elle magazine's new look March issue - someone's been a busy girl.
It's not the first time Victoria, who is on full pouting form for the shoot, has featured on the front cover of Elle, but as it's their fresh new look mag relaunch, it's a pretty hot ticket gig to land. Shot by photographer Carter Smith, VB stars on the cover wearing a new season leather jacket and lace body by Burberry (well her son is making his modelling debut in their Spring / Summer 2-13 campaign after all) as well as gorgeous glowing skin and thick looking glossy locks.
The interview with Victoria for the issue is set to provide a rare insight into 48 hours with the high flying fashion designer and with her upcoming show at New York Fashion Week next month, moving to the UK and a new website launch, we suspect they'll be lots to talk about. Subsequent images from the shoot feature her wearing new-season designs by Lanvin, Hussein Chalayan, Miu Miu, Manolo Blahnik as well as her mainline collection Victoria Beckham.
The March issue of the new look Elle Magazine is due to hit newsstands on Wednesday 30 January.

Legal Services maintains a compelling array of tactical assets
and tools that it strategically deploys against lenders and
credit card issuers. We start by developing and implementing
a litigation plan for each client, beginning with a full case
evaluation. Our comprehensive evaluation includes, but is
by no means limited to, a review of the homeowner's title
records, a compliance audit of the subject mortgage from loan
origination to servicing, and investigation of any transfers
in ownership of the note or mortgage. Typically, the question
isn't whether we'll identify any basis for a claim against
a lender, but rather, how many we'll find.
Whereas parts of the economy and even various housing markets
are showing signs of recovery on some fronts, the fact is,
many homeowners are still upside down on their mortgages,
or otherwise unable to keep current on their home loans. The
Cloud Legal Services team is uniquely positioned to pursue
all the claims and defenses available to their clients. Not
only are we able to provide unparalleled defense in foreclosure
matters, but when the circumstances warrant, we will file
suit or counterclaim for a judicial determination as to the
validity and enforceability of a note and mortgage.

Although it's a very rare breed, the American Water Spaniel is the State Dog of Wisconsin. A dual-purpose animal, it was bred for companionship and retrieval ability.
The American Water Spaniel is longer in size than many Spaniels. Its strong legs and muscular body allow it to move effortlessly through water, and its pace is balanced.
This medium-sized dog's unique coat, which can have closely-knitted curls, is wavy and generally solid liver or brown in color. The American Water Spaniel also has a long muzzle and hairy ears.
The American Water Spaniel is versatile in its hunting capability and sensitive in nature. Apart from being a pleasant companion, it is cordial with other dogs and obedient if given proper training and exercise.
Given its name, it is no coincidence the American Water Spaniel's favorite activity involves water games. However, it should be taken for indoor and outdoor activities, as well as place the dog on a routine-based exercise schedule. Additionally, a American Water Spaniel's ears should be checked regularly and its coat should be brushed and combed weekly; this will help remove any dead hair.
The American Water Spaniel generally lives for 10 to 12 years. One of its major health problems is mitral valve disease. Other minor health issues include canine hip dysplasia (CHD), patent duct arteriosus (PDA), and pulmonic stenosis. It may also occasionally suffer from progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) and patellar luxation. To identify some of these issues, a veterinarian may conduct eye, cardiac, and hip exams on this breed of dog.
Though nothing can be confirmed about the origins of the American Water Spaniel, it came to be recognized as a breed for the first time in the mid-western parts of the United States. It is assumed that the breed evolved from the Irish Water Spaniel and its other versions like Tweed Water Spaniels, Northern Water Spaniels, and Southern Water Spaniels. It is also believed that the English Water Spaniel and the Curly-Coated Retriever might have played a part in its development.
Recognized as one of the least popular American Kennel Club breeds, the American Water Spaniel wasn't registered until 1940. The breed, however, remains popular in Wisconsin and is still the state dog today.

It is understood cabinet was briefed about the jobs plan helping to provide money for the government's other as unfunded promises. Photo: Louie Douvis
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's $1 billion jobs package actually cuts at least half a billion dollars from the industry portfolio - money that can now go directly to salvaging other areas of Labor's stretched federal budget.
The package saved $1 billion by cutting research and development tax breaks for the biggest banks, retailers and miners - a figure that appeared on first glance to correlate with the $1 billion it claimed to be spending on ''supporting and creating jobs''.
But in fact the fine print of the announcement reveals that over the same four years that the axed tax break earns $1 billion, the government is proposing to spend only $745 million - leaving $255 million for other budgetary purposes.
And at least two of the spending programs included in the $745 million were already announced - the $236 million industrial transformation research program and the $29.8 million for manufacturing technology innovation centres. That takes the money left over for other budgetary purposes to $520 million.
Questions also remain over whether the $378 million for venture capital should be counted as ''new'' spending, given that at least $100 million was already in the process of being allocated and money returned to the scheme by successful ventures has traditionally been reinvested in new projects. The government appears to have formalised the reinvestment of that money, rather than allocating entirely new funds.
It is understood cabinet was briefed about the jobs plan having the additional benefit of helping to provide money for the government's other big-spending and as yet unfunded promises on disability and education.
It is also understood the industry department proposed a smaller cut to the research and development tax breaks for the biggest companies, but was overridden by the Treasury Department.
The jobs package, which strengthens requirements for big projects to show they have given Australian companies a fair chance to bid for work and tightens anti-dumping rules, has been welcomed by unions and industry groups.

The Class of 2003 was Formally Welcomed to the Veterinary Profession during a
White Coat Ceremony held August 20, 1999 at Washington State University
The White Coat Ceremony creates an important focus for students entering veterinary school. In the presence of family, friends, and faculty members, student-veterinarians are welcomed into the veterinary community and are "cloaked" with their first white coats. The class members and veterinarians present also stand to recite the Oath of Geneva.
Through their involvement in the meaningful ritual at the beginning of veterinary school, student-veterinarians become more aware of their professional responsibilities. The ceremony impresses upon them the primacy of the veterinarian-patient-client relationship. It encourages them to accept the obligations inherent in the practice of veterinary medicine; to be excellent in science, compassionate, and lead lives of uprightness and honor. It emphasizes for students the veterinarian's responsibility to take care of patients and also to care for patients. The message conveyed is that veterinarians should care as well as cure.

Helen meets a strange man
Paris is a stranger in his own family
Neither is prepared for the future that is coming
When Theseus arrives in Sparta, Helen finds herself amused by his attention - a welcome distraction from the lonely world she inhabits with her younger sister Cly and cousin Penelope. As his interest grows, Helen must fight to regain control of her world.
Paris has returned to Troy after his banishment as a baby. Struggling to adapt and determined not to conform to the control he sees around him, Paris must learn the rules of this new world surrounded by a family he has nothing in common with.
Set in the two contrasting worlds of 'Troy' and 'Sparta', PROPHESY explores the moment Paris and Helen receive the unexpected prophecies that will determine their future and bring about the complete destruction of their world. Can knowledge of our future prove self-fulfilling, and in a battle of fate and freewill, is it ever truly possible to change?
Radically reimagining characters from the Greek Myths in settings not unlike modern Britain, PROPHESY investigates the notion of self-identity: the roles we take on, the expectations we have and the choices we make.
Devised by the ensemble, PROPHESY has been developed through improvisation and physical theatre and will run in the gallery space at Blackall Studios. BAZ Productions has built a reputation for powerful and unique work in non-theatrical spaces, established in their award nominated Macbeth in the Crypt of St. Andrew, Holborn in 2011.
PROPHESY opens on February 5th and runs until March 2nd. Tuesday - Saturdays @ 7.30pm and 3pm Saturday matinees.
Come and enjoy a night of site specific theatre and a drink in our private bar underneath the venue. Entrance via Blackall Street.

Conceptual Framework
The Professional Education Unit's Conceptual Framework is the underlying foundation for its teacher education and educational leadership programs and is organized around the theme, "The Transforming Practitioner," at both the initial and advanced levels of study.
Get the "The Transforming Practitioner: To Know, To Do, To Be" (PDF)
"The Transforming Practitioner," a living link in the educational process, is an educator who is changing internally through understanding, practicing, and reflecting such that, individually and collaboratively, he or she implements for all learners appropriate and significant life-changing experiences that effectively provide for the needs of the individual, actively engage students in the learning process, and promote life-long learning. (The term "Transforming Practitioner" is used throughout this document when referring to issues, theory, principles, characteristics, etc. that are common across all programs. When reference is made specifically to the educational leadership program, the term "Transformational Leader" is used.)
The Conceptual Framework
Within the context of a distinctive Baptist heritage, the Quality Enhancement Plan of Mercer University ("The Engaged University: Learning Together"), and the knowledgeable blending of theory and practice, the Professional Education Unit has chosen To Know, To Do, and To Be as organizing principles of the Conceptual Framework that under girds its teacher education and educational leadership programs at Mercer University.
The Conceptual Framework principles, To Know, To Do, and To Be, prepare the candidate to adapt to and meet the needs of a current and changing society while highlighting the Baptist tradition of promoting mediation, settlement, compromise, and understanding in the classroom, in the school system, and in the community. Preparing the candidate to be a Transforming Practitioner is vital to successful educational practice in increasingly diverse settings. Blending theory with field experiences helps to actualize this preparation both for teachers and educational leaders.
Teachers and educational leaders who are Transforming Practitioners must embrace the processes of understanding, practicing, and reflecting, which are indeed vital components of transformation. Each of these three processes is important and meaningful in itself, but the three are also interconnected in very real ways. Understanding informs practice. The wisdom developed through practice increases and modifies understanding and, ideally, leads to rich and meaningful reflection. Reflection causes teachers and educational leaders to enhance their levels of understanding and to make substantive as well as subtle changes in their practice. These processes of understanding, practicing, and reflecting are themes that are infused in and richly woven throughout the principles of the Conceptual Framework: To Know, To Do, and To Be. Moreover, The Transforming Practitioner demonstrates the following three characteristics in classrooms and other school settings: engagement of students in learning, the ability to work with a diversity of students in meaningful and respectful ways, and the ability to be involved in effective collaboration with students, other educators, parents, and the community.
History of Development of the Conceptual Framework
The "To Know," "To Do," and "To Be" principles were first embraced by the Professional Education Unit faculty in 1996. During fall 1999, the faculty critically examined the Conceptual Framework, refining the meanings of "To Know," "To Do," and "To Be" and condensing the descriptors of each principle several times until there was agreement on three descriptors for each of the principles. Further discussion led to a more encompassing theme, "Preparing the 21st Century Teacher," that incorporated the reflection and decision-making abilities necessary for successful mediation in a culturally diverse world and provided a knowledge base and a set of field experiences that would enable an educator to adapt effectively to a changing and technologically advanced society, to new and innovative teaching pedagogy and resources, and to the continuing diverse needs of children. Faculty members approved the new theme and revised Conceptual Framework in late fall 1999.
In March 2000, the unit reviewed the theme of the Conceptual Framework again with input from an outside consultant. Critical attention was given to the global dimensions of the theme, "Preparing the 21st Century Teacher" – a theme that created difficulties in defining what it meant in general, what it meant in terms of the Mercer graduate, and what outcomes could be delineated succinctly. Reflecting again on the visions and missions of Mercer University and the Professional Education Unit, faculty members re-examined the Baptist heritage of the institution, the Paideia ideal, and the principles of Jesse Mercer, the founder of the University. Combining their understanding and knowledge with the realities of what unit faculty members believe and with the strengths and characteristics of Mercer University graduates, faculty members moved toward a more specific Conceptual Framework that would describe the uniqueness of educators prepared at Mercer University. Rich reflection and discussion led to the theme, "The Transforming Practitioner." Review then was made of the outcomes of the Conceptual Framework. Having further condensed the outcomes in fall 1999, the faculty revisited a prior list of more specifically written and demonstrable outcomes. The faculty discussed and approved the theme and the outcomes at its faculty meeting in March 2000. The faculty revised the framework in 2005 to make more explicit the professional dispositions it values. Following the faculty's articulation of a set of seven dispositions and the piloting of a dispositions assessment, the faculty approved the addition of an eighth disposition in spring 2006, based on the recommendation of an ad hoc committee that studied the data, the assessment process, and recent literature on the topic.
As the Conceptual Framework is a living document, it is often revisited and richly discussed by unit faculty members and students, faculty members from various departments across the University, and members of the Site-Based Councils on Professional Education. Research on transformative educators has expanded in breadth and depth during the past five years, and the Professional Education Unit has thoughtfully integrated more current research into the Conceptual Framework's knowledge base.
Visual Model of the Conceptual Framework
The Transforming Practitioner
Above is the visual model that the Professional Education Unit has adopted to depict the major facets of the Conceptual Framework. The black and orange colors of the model reflect the heritage of Mercer University and Tift College of Education. The model is framed and supported by an outer black circle containing the words "Understanding," "Practicing," and "Reflecting." Teachers and educational leaders who are Transforming Practitioners must embrace the processes of understanding, practicing, and reflecting as vital components of transformation. The black circle serves to illustrate the infinite and interconnected nature of these crucial processes.
The three principles of the Conceptual Framework -- To Know, To Do, and To Be -- serve to define the vertices of the orange triangle. The triangle, known to be the strongest polygon and thus frequently employed in the construction of bridges and buildings, was chosen to depict three important characteristics of classrooms and other school settings—"Engagement," "Diversity," and "Collaboration." The Transforming Practitioner must appreciate, honor, and nurture these characteristics by demonstrating engagement of students in learning, the ability to work with a diversity of students, and the ability to be involved in effective collaboration with students, other educators, parents, and the community. In order for a triangle to remain strong, all three sides must remain strong. In a similar fashion, in order for a Transforming Practitioner to remain strong, he or she must continually become stronger in the areas of engagement, diversity, and collaboration. Doing so will not only cause Transforming Practitioners to become more effective educators, but it will also enable them to effect transformation in their students.
In the center of the visual model, so as to depict the theme and the "heart" of the Conceptual Framework, is the word "Transforming." Written in a circular fashion to indicate a sense of infinity, "transforming" is viewed as a continuous and lifelong process; indeed, transformations often lead to other transformations. Tift College of Education faculty members expect that candidates completing initial and advanced programs in teacher education, as well as programs in educational leadership, will seek to transform — to grow, to change, to develop, to enrich themselves —throughout their careers and lives, while also continually making humanistic and concerted efforts to effect transformation within P-12 students.

BOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- Should they stay or should they go?
That's the controversy surrounding two high school football players on an undefeated eastern Kentucky team. There are two players who had played for Huntington High School, but who were expelled late last year after an altercation with another student.
A temporary restraining order placed in September has allowed the players to stay on the team for Fairview High School.
In Boyd County Circuit Court on Monday, both sides argued their case for or against a temporary injunction.
"Here we are, your Honor, at the end of a football season, getting ready for playoffs and we have an eligibility case," says Chad Collins, attorney for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. "When they enrolled, they were ineligible under the rules and regulations of Huntington High School, therefore they were determined not to be eligible in the state of Kentucky."
The plaintiffs' lawyer claims otherwise.
"The Cabell County School Superintendent himself stated in a letter, their expulsion had been lifted," attorney Sharon Rowsey said."That lifted their ineligibility. Ineligibility to play and not allowed are two different terms with two different definitions."
The two players are currently on the roster for the Fairview Eagles, which is currently undefeated in the 2012 season. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking down toward the end of the season..
"Action like this comes at a critical time when playoffs are creeping up on us in three weeks or so," Collins said. "It's important to all the member schools and teams in the tournament that everyone who's participating is participating legally and appropriately."

Implementing Loan Loss Reserve Fund Agreements
Implementation of a loan loss reserve fund (LRF) program typically involves two agreements:
The LRF Agreement between the financial institution partner(s) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grantee, which addresses the deposit and use of the LRF monies
A less formal energy efficiency loan program agreement between the financial institution partner and the ARRA grantee and/or other program partners, which addresses the full energy efficiency loan origination cycle, including cooperation in loan marketing, credit screening and analysis, and other steps involved in loan origination, as well as marketing and reporting responsibilities.
For definitions of typical terms used in those agreements, see Key Terms Used in LRF Agreements. Also see the sample LRF agreement.
The typical LRF structure is illustrated in the figure below.

Tue, Nov 21, 2006
Aero-News learned Tuesday that Transport Canada has issued Type
Certificate A-247 for Diamond Aircraft's diesel-powered DA42 Twin
"The DA42 is a phenomenal success, with Twin Stars operating in
Europe, the USA, South-East Asia, South Africa and China. We are
pleased to add Canada to the list of countries who have certified
this innovative and versatile aircraft," said Peter Maurer,
President of Diamond Aircraft Industries Canada. "This is
especially welcome, since there are many Canadian customers who
have been waiting to take delivery of their DA42s."
The twin-Thielert diesel-powered DA42 received its FAA
certification in July 2005. Earlier this month, the agency ruled
the FADEC-equipped twin meets the standards of a complex aircraft,
for the purposes of commercial pilot and flight instructor
"The Twin Star's attributes make it ideal for many
missions, including advanced flight training, private flying and
special applications as a sensor platform," Maurer said. "With
liquid cooled twin turbo-diesel engines that burn only 12 gph total
in cruise, long endurance, and known ice certification, the
aircraft is ideally suited to Canadian conditions."
The aircraft also comes standard with a Garmin G1000 glass
cockpit, and an all-carbon composite airframe.

March 27, 1980
Reagan A New Breed Of Populist
Ronald Reagan may not be the next president of the United States, but he stands a 50-50 chance of reorganizing American politics.
The mood of the country is one of reform, of distrust of the old system that has brought turmoil, unease, inflation. We seem to want change for change's sake. The old formula of a free lunch for everyone is bankrupt.
Reagan likely will be the catalyst for change.
Not many political pundits have yet grasped the fundamental reason why the former union leader-actor-governor might move forward as the exponent of this new mood.
The significant fact of Reagan's candidacy is that he operates from center ground. He is not - repeat, not - a "conservative" as the east coast columnists like to declare - as if that label was some kind of epithet.
It is interesting to note that the old-line conservatives such as Senator Barry Goldwater and Senator John Tower have already endorsed President Gerald Ford. Our non-elected president is a true conservative moving farther right each week.
Reagan is a new breed of populist. Sooner or later the worn out politicos who have dominated the Washington scene for four sorry decades will have to deal with Reagan on that basis.
I've seen Reagan in action, before live audiences and on television. He's better when he is eye-balling it. He speaks to the working man, the truly needy on welfare, the craftsman, the small businessman. It is this majority that elected him governor of California for eight years.
The so called "fat cats" don't know Reagan. He castigates big business, big labor and big government indiscriminately. Employees, rank-and-file union members and overburdened tax payers are his main source of support.
On the surface, Reagan's task of winning the Republican nomination seems long odds. The biggies are lining up fast behind the old-formula pros. Business contributions are flowing steadily to Ford's campaign coffers. Ten of 12 GOP governors attending a conference at Wichita, Kansas, two weeks ago backed Ford.
In Ohio, the top Republican leaders ignored their long-standing rule not to endorse primary candidates, declared officially for Ford and accepted positions of prominence on Ford's campaign staff.
All of this, of course, is meant to stifle Reagan's chances. It surely will back fire - perhaps not to Reagan's benefit but to future difficulties if nothing else.
Reagan is well thought of in New Hampshire and Florida the first two states to hold primaries next year. Should he win there, he will seriously shake the Ford campaign.
Ford is alarmed and moving rapidly to establish an image of leadership - perhaps too rapidly. His credibility is suffering from haste and mind-changing.
The commentators move with similar haste to cut down Reagan as a man with no issues. Yet, his issues are plain and appealing to a large number of Americans.
He advocates returning to the states responsibility for such things as welfare, food stamps, aid to education, housing and Medicaid. He claims this would cut federal spending by $90 billion, balance the budget and reduce income taxes by 23 percent.
State taxes would have to be raised of course, but considerably less than the 23 percent federal income tax reduction. The net savings would remain in the tax payer's pocket and at the same time give him closer control of state government programs.
The mammoth Washington bureaucracy is already throwing up a smoke screen around Reagan's proposals - asserting that he would "deprive" needy Americans of welfare, food stamps, medical care and the other goodies we have come to expect from the Great White Father.
This was the same kind of scare tactics that falsely accused Goldwater of planning to kill Social Security or drop an atom bomb on Vietnamese communists.
It is going to be a little harder to hang an albatross around Reagan's neck. For one thing he is too articulate. For another his record as governor of California is too well known. In that state he chased out the free loaders on welfare and increased the benefits to the truly needy. He balanced the budget and gave a REBATE to tax payers from the savings.
It is hard to argue with better government for less money.
Should Reagan beat the Republican establishment and win the nomination he would have to fight an entrenched Democrat establishment, for all the Democratic candidates are from the old mold - something for everyone, and hang the expense.
A Reagan run for the roses would upset the political apple cart, win or lose. A Reagan win would de-populate the Washington bureaus. A Reagan defeat would be a Goldwater-type debacle which likely would finally kill the Republican party now at low ebb from the previous Goldwater conservative split and the Watergate trauma.
So, Reagan is an explosive factor in all presidential sweep stakes.
Something has to give way. Reagan may not be the answer, but neither is the present Republican administration or the present Democrat Congress.
Reagan is a serious challenge to the old discredited order. Those who underestimate him, do so at great risk.

FORT WORTH -- On Sunday, in the end, Van Cliburn had one more magnificent gift for Fort Worth and the world. The heartbreaking beauty and grandeur of his funeral service music is unlikely to be forgotten by anyone who heard it inside Broadway Baptist Church.Cliburn, the legendary pianist who died Wednesday at 78, was warmly eulogized by former President George W. Bush, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and friends from Fort Worth and around the world, who remembered both his historic talent, but also his humility and kindness. Statements by President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin were also read to those who filled the large Fort Worth sanctuary.But from the first note of the processional hymn, as pallbearers brought Cliburn's flower-draped casket down the center aisle, the day's music was the truest tribute. Much of it was from his beloved Russia, where he rose to international renown in 1958 by winning the first Tchaikovsky International Competition at the height of the Cold War. From then until now, he has been deeply beloved by the Russian people.Each hymn and piece of classical music performed Sunday otherwise had special meaning to Cliburn, the deeply religious man who for decades had quietly slipped in and out of Sunday Services at Broadway.At the end of those services, Cliburn always embraced the pastor, the Rev. Brent Beasley, in one of his famous hugs, Beasley said during his homily."Beautiful. Beautiful," Cliburn would tell Beasley.On Sunday, Beasley said he imagined Cliburn's embrace with God, and God saying, "Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.""So we give beauty, beauty, beauty back to God," Beasley said.The previous day had been a whirlwind of preparation at the church near downtown. The activity included a Secret Service sweep in anticipation of the Bushes' attendance. For two hours on Saturday, a choir of 300, assembled from four local choral groups, spent two hours rehearsing with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, and organist Albert Travis. Travis' famous organ at Broadway Baptist was named for Cliburn's mother, Rildia Bee.Choir members were forced to learn Russian lyrics phonetically, said Thomas Stoker, who conducted most of the pieces."Only for Van," Stoker said after the service. "There is just nobody that loved music this deeply. Nobody that I knew."After two majestic hymns and the Lord's Prayer, Cliburn's longtime companion, Thomas L. Smith, offered the first of several brief eulogies. Since Cliburn was diagnosed with terminal bone cancer six months ago, "the outpouring of affection and concern has been overwhelming," Smith said."For me it's the loss of my soul mate and my deepest friend," Smith said. "Thank you for being with Van and with me today."Smith was followed to the pulpit by Bush, who recalled how Cliburn had performed the Star-Spangled Banner at the opening of Rangers Ballpark in 1994."Few remember the home team lost to Milwaukee," Bush said to laughter. In 1958, he continued, "there were no hot dogs and cold beer in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory."Bush said Cliburn's audience that year at the Tchaikovsky Competition had "been schooled in the evils of America." A different picture emerged from Cliburn's playing, Bush said."Van traveled the world, charming friend and foe," Bush said. "Members of the President's Club could have taken a lesson from him in diplomacy."Perry's remarks followed a rousing rendition of America the Beautiful."Van taught us an important lesson we all could learn," Perry said. "We all, deep down, are more alike than we are different. Van was one of the true heroes of the Cold War ... Texas lost a true legend in his passing, and he will never be forgotten."Fort Worth friends recalled a man who never lost his humility and concern for others, despite his frequent acquaintance with the powerful. Lawyer Dee Kelly noted that Cliburn had played for every American president since his Moscow triumph."He was invited to the White House more times that Billy Graham," Kelly said to more laughter.Kelly noted that Cliburn "kept a different schedule than most of us. Van went to bed about the same time I was having breakfast in the morning." The lawyer noted his love of red roses. "He gave away thousands."And as did several others, Kelly spoke of Cliburn's love for his mother and first teacher, Rildia Bee."He was never looking to make history as a classical musician," Kelly said. "He just wanted to play well enough to please his mother. In the end, he did both."Fort Worth investor Sid Bass described Cliburn's capacity for friendship. Decades ago, when both men lived in New York City, "he would call me at 3 or 4 a.m.," Bass said. The message: "I was just thinking of you. I just had to call.""The entire phone call, that's all it was, an expression of love," Bass said.Another time, Cliburn asked Bass to guess where he had the worst stage fright. Bass thought New York."Oh no, Fort Worth," Cliburn said. "I have so many friends in Fort Worth. I just couldn't stand to let them down."As he became progressively sicker in recent months, Cliburn still spoke of chartering a plane for one last trip to Russia, Bass said."He had so many friends there he had to say goodbye to," Bass said.Cliburn's love for that country permeated Broadway Baptist on Sunday, music that recalled the great moments of his public life.One of them came in 1987, when the pianist emerged from a long performing hiatus to play at the White House for President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. After his recital that night, Gorbachev's wife had a request, a popular Russian folk ballad called Moscow Nights. Cliburn gladly obliged, playing and singing alone. He received a famous hug from Gorbachev afterward.On Sunday, the choir sang that same piece, a remarkable performance given the language challenges, and the unfamiliarity with the music. The service also included a 13-minute Adagio movement from Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony, performed by the Fort Worth Symphony and conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya, and a choral performance of a hymn composed by Tchaikovsky."He was part of our lives, our hearts, our hero and our legend," said Olga Rostropovich, the daughter of legendary Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, another of Cliburn's good friends.It was the daughter who read a letter of condolence from Putin, the Russian leader who called Cliburn "one of the most outstanding musicians of modern times.""Over the course of many years, during the most difficult of historical times, the art of Van Cliburn brought together people from different countries, different continents, and united them," Putin wrote. "He brought the light of kindness, fairness and faith in the power of art ...We shall always remember Van Cliburn as a true and sincere friend of the Russian people."Many in the congregation dabbed away tears during the final hymn, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." But when Cliburn's casket was taken from the church, it was to a haunting Russian folk melody.In a musical send-off for the ages, the final note was Russian.Tim Madigan, (817) 390-7544Twitter: @tsmadigan

this isn't another juice company
Our goal was simple: make the most nutritious, fresh, and pure juices around. All of our drinks are whole blended, not juiced or pressed. This simply means that we blend all of the edible parts of fruits and vegetables. All of our juices are blended fresh to order, and use absolutely no stabilizers or preservatives. The best part? Most of our drinks contain anywhere from 2-4 servings of fruits and vegetables and are low in calories...you're not dreaming!
**A word on juice cleanses: we do not offer juice cleanses due to our staunch belief that a balanced diet is better than any extreme regimen. In truth, if you were to cleanse, our drinks are likely your best option due to the fiber content and raw nature of our drinks. Ultimately, our drinks are part of a lifestyle, not of a fad.
We can't wait for you to try our drinks; some are superfood vegetable and fruit juices and others are probiotic smoothies. All are whole blended, and highly nutritious. We offer our drinks in 8 and 16 ounce compostable cups. In the juice bar, 8 oz juices are $4.99, and 16 oz juices are $7.99.

Tigers' Cabrera, Leyland ejected in 1st inning
Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and manager Jim Leyland were both ejected in the top of the first inning of Monday night's game against the Chicago White Sox.
Cabrera began complaining to home plate umpire Brian Gorman that he felt he was struck in the right leg by a pitch from White Sox starter Chris Sale.
After fouling off the next pitch, Cabrera continued complaining and was ejected by Gorman.
Leyland came to his player's aid and was also ejected after less than a minute of arguing with Gorman.
The ejection was Cabrera's second this season and the fifth of his career. Leyland was tossed for the fourth time this season and for the 72nd time of his career.
