Derek Bulmer may not be a person that comes to mind when thinking of world-renowned restaurant bible, The Michelin Guide, but he should be. As editor of the Great Britain and Ireland guide, he's a man who knows more than a thing or two about what makes a good restaurant great. Web editor, Debra Waters, interviews Derek incognito, of course.
The Michelin Guide is THE restaurant guide – why is it so revered?
I guess it's a lot to do with our history. We first made a guide to France in 1900 so we've now entered our second century and are about to celebrate the 100th edition of the Guide France this March (the extra nine years were those when we suspended publication for the two World Wars). Additionally, we have built up a reputation for professionalism, integrity and independence (entries in the guide are free of charge) over many years and generally have the respect of the industry.
Do reviewers need a food background or specialist skills?
Our inspectors are generally recruited directly from the Hotel and Catering industry with appropriate qualifications and experience. Language and writing skills are an added bonus.
Is there a careful selection process when choosing reviewers?
Certainly there is. When we advertise for a new inspector we usually get between 200-300 applicants for one job so we are able to choose carefully. The interview process includes a meal out with the Editor or a senior inspector resulting in a detailed report being written.
And the same applies when choosing which restaurants to visit?
We choose the restaurants we list very carefully and this can often mean a series of meals over a period of time to ensure consistency.
What does the Michelin Guide look for in a restaurant? Is it more than just the food?
Primarily we list restaurants based on the quality of the food they serve and in this respect we specifically consider the following: the quality of the ingredients used; the skill in their preparation; the combination of flavours; the levels of creativity; the value for money and the consistency of culinary standards – both across the menu and over a period of time. Naturally, there are also minimum standards relating to cleanliness, hygiene, upkeep and service that need to be achieved because, no matter how good the food is, if the restaurant is cold and dirty and the service unfriendly then the experience will be a disaster.
You must have seen staggering changes to the UK restaurant scene over the last decade – and the quality is improving year on year (you've awarded more stars this year than ever before) – why do you think this is? Is it the snowball effect? A more informed public? More informed chefs...?
The answer is yes to all the things you've mentioned. A more informed public demand higher standards, more informed and confident chefs now have access to better quality products than ever before, and the snowball effect means there are more good restaurants and pubs than ever before. The UK can now boast of having a mature, rich and exciting restaurant scene.
Does it concern you that the credit crunch could have a negative effect on the catering industry? Do you think quality could be adversely affected?
Of course it concerns me and I sincerely hope the credit crunch will be short-lived and not affect too many businesses. Restaurants need to concentrate on maintaining standards, whilst at the same time controlling costs very carefully and offering customers value for money.
What about the Bib Gourmand establishments: how do they differ from ones with Michelin stars?
The Bib Gourmand is an increasingly important award that points out restaurants that are offering good food at moderate prices (the upper limit is currently £28 for a 3 course meal). It differs from the star in that generally the dishes produced are of a simpler nature but they are nevertheless carefully prepared using good quality, if perhaps cheaper, ingredients. It is a value for money award as apposed to the star which is based purely on quality.
You must get to sample some of the UK's finest cuisine – is there any other job you'd do if you weren't editing the Michelin Guide? Or is this job as good as it gets?
For me this is as good as it gets because, like all the inspectors I employ, I have a real passion for food and wine and a love of travel. However if you prefer the 9-5 routine then this is definitely not the job for you. If I didn't do this then I would like to be a wine producer.
If you had to eat at one restaurant for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
None! No matter how good the restaurant and the food they serve I wouldn't want to eat in the same restaurant for the rest of my life because it would eventually become routine. The beauty of this job is the variety it offers and the thought that the next wonderful discovery is just around the corner.

The sole purpose of a movie is entertainment. If a film teaches a lesson or educates the viewer, consider it a bonus. Director Rob Reiner's film about the assassination of civil-rights leader Medgar Evers, Ghosts of Mississippi, concentrates more on preaching about racism than on entertaining.
Reiner uses the film's interesting true story as a backdrop to address racial problems. He makes his point early in the film when racist Byron De La Beckwith guns down Evers and goes through two mistrials in which rock-hard evidence is overlooked. We realize that racial injustice is the rule in Mississippi, but Reiner seems to think that we forget too soon. He overaddresses racial problems, makes a racist out of every character and in the process fails to entertain. If he could have pulled off an entertaining film while still addressing the racial issue, Ghosts of Mississippi would have been a great filmmaking achievement.

Driving in France
Driving to your destination in France is easy, convenient and a great way to see more of the country.
Many holiday makers choose to drive through France to their holiday destination. You can usually take more luggage than on an airline, and enjoy some of the scenery and culture of France along the way.
Roads in France are generally of high quality with little congestion outside big cities so driving can be a real pleasure. The excellent network of motorways or autoroutes are identified as A roads. Most are toll roads with fees payable by cash or credit card, or you can save time and money by getting a Liber-T Autoroute tag before you leave - click here to order online.
If you're taking your car to France from the UK, it's very easy to get across the channel. There are a range of crossings and carriers to choose from at competitive prices in our ferry guide or you can book a crossing on Eurotunnel Le Shuttle. If you want to break your journey overnight, you can get a great deal on hotel rooms across France.
If you don't want to drive your own car to France, you can book a cheap flight and then hire a car locally.
Tips for Driving in France
Driving in France needn't be as stressful as a long journey in the UK. Follow our tips to planning a swift and comfortable journey:
- On Autoroutes, or A roads, there are numerous attractive rest areas or Aires, ranging from picnic/toilet/petrol stops to full-scale service stations with restaurants and shops selling local produce. If you won't be arriving at your holiday property until the evening, when local shops are likely to be closed, services are a good place to purchase something for supper.
- Main non-motorway routes or routes nationales are identified as N roads. A good choice if you want a break from motorway driving or to see more small towns, villages and scenery. Road numbering can be confusing so best to follow destination signs.
- Avoid seasonal congestion at the beginning and end of August when most French people holiday en masse. Also avoid if possible the week around July 14th and around August 15th, both big national holidays. HGV's are banned from the roads on Sundays all year round so motorways are quieter on this day outside seasonal peaks.
- Direction signs starting with 'Bis' indicate bison futé, a holiday route avoiding crowded roads. Worth taking at busy times like summer Saturdays. Maps showing these alternative routes are available free from garages.
- If your holiday property is situated in the west of France, you could save hours of driving time by taking the ferry to Cherbourg or Le Havre rather than the shorter Dover to Calais route. You'll spend more of your journey sat comfortable on the boat and less of it behind the wheel.
- If you have a long drive in the UK to reach the channel ports, break your journey and save money on your crossing by staying the night in the UK, then catch a lower priced ferry early the next morning. We've a wide choice of accommodation near to UK channel ports including Dover, Folkestone (for the Channel Tunnel), Portsmouth, Poole, and Newhaven.
Driving in France – Useful Products and Services
Save money when driving to France and enjoy a more comfortable journey with our range of recommended products and services:
- Visit the Halfords online store where there's up to one third off a wide range of touring and motoring products including breakdown and safety products, plus also more of the fun stuff to keep the kids amused on a long journey. They also sell a handy Motoring Abroad Kit.
- Tout droit, à gauche ou à droite? Don't get lost driving through France and avoid the need to ask directions in French! It's possible to pick up a European Sat Nav system for less than £100 with full European street level mapping.
- European Breakdown cover is an essential ingredient of any motoring journey to France. A vehicle breakdown situation can be very stressful at the best of times, but a breakdown abroad could be a nightmare. With European breakdown insurance from Breakdown Direct, situations like this don't have to become a crisis. When you call their European motoring assistance helpline, you can be sure their staff have the experience, expertise and ability to save your holiday with the minimum of hassle.
- Save money on your channel crossing with French Connections. Book cheap ferry tickets on all the cross channel routes including Calais, Cherbourg and Le Havre. If you want a faster crossing then you can also book Eurotunnel Le Shuttle fares for the Channel Tunnel.
- Don't want to take your own car abroad? Maybe you want to hire a newer or larger vehicle, or fly to the sun and rent a car locally. We compare the prices of 550 car hire agents at 25,000 locations worldwide to find you the cheapest deal.
- If you have a long journey or visit France often then get yourself a Liber-T autoroute tag. It sits on your windscreen and kets you sail through a priority lane at tolls, then the toll charges are taken from your bank account after you return.
Driving Laws in France
From July 2008 the laws about driving in France changed, and apply to French nationals and tourists alike. On-the-spot fines of between 90 and 135 euros became enforceable on 1st October 2008. The new and existing laws mean that:
- It is now compulsory to have at least one high visibility vest in the car, to be worn in the event of a breakdown. Reflective vests are available to buy from many places including online at Halfords.
- It also compulsory to carry a warning triangle in your car, to placed near your vehicle if you have to pull over. Once again, Halfords warning triangles can be purchased online.
- Seatbelts are compulsory for all passengers. Children up to the age of ten must sit in the rear of the car and must be protected by the use of car cots for small babies, and baby or child seats for toddlers and young children. Crash helmets must be worn for all forms of motorbike travel.
- You must carry your insurance, car log book - original not a photocopy, (or a letter from the car hire company if it is a company car), and your driving license with you at all times whilst driving. It is an offence not to do so.
- Unless otherwise indicated, the speed limit is 50 kph in built up areas, 90 kph on other roads, (80 in the rain) and 130 kph on autoroutes (110 in the rain).
- It is an offence to drive with levels of alcohol above 0.5 g per litre of blood (about two glasses of wine). Penalties are severe, so it is safest not to drink and drive at all when in France. From July 2012 drivers should also carry a self breathalyser kit in their car when driving in France, which you can get before you travel from stores like Halfords or at ferry and tunnel terminals.

It was a young Johnson's first real experience with death. He'd yet to attend a funeral, so the death of a sporting icon really affected him. The next 15-20 minutes were spent crying alone in his room.
Johnson later accompanied Mitchell to his grandmother's house, but could barely walk to the car.
"We dragged him in the house because he was that weak," she said. "Everybody was looking like 'Is Duke OK?' He was acting like that was his daddy or his brother."

We've spoken about the Disney studio's recent trip to Mars as well as Bob Clampett's (non-Disney) attempt to animate the series of Edgar Rice Burroughs stories in 1936. But in 1957 Disney himself took a brief trip to Barsoom via Mars and Beyond, the beloved episode of the Disneyland television series directed by Disney animator and eccentric Ward Kimball.
The episode, which speculates on what man would find when they inevitably journeyed to the red planet, began with a retrospective of Mars's influence on our culture. In true Kimball fashion we get a wacky look at the past, and on past theories about Martian life. One segment is devoted to the civilizations, flora and fauna of Mars as described in Burroughs's series of John Carter novels.
I've always lamented that Walt's studio never made much science fiction, and we can only dream of how wonderfully manic a true Kimball-directed John Carter movie would be. But these designs give a hint of how Kimball's wild imagination envisioned the world of Barsoom.
For your enjoyment, here's the entire, fantastic special. It'd made a good dark ride for the parks, don't you think? I certainly do. If you're just interested in the Barsoomian action, it starts at 11:20. But I recommend watching the whole thing! And remember – vote GARCO in 2012!

The Economist article "The grass is always greener: Saving the planet and creating jobs may be incompatible" discusses the work of Mises Institute adjunct scholar Gabriel Calzada. As the piece notes,
"Gabriel Calzada Ãlvarez, a professor at King Juan Carlos University in Madrid, has tried to use empirical data to estimate how Spain's subsidies for renewables, which so impressed Mr Obama, will affect employment. He calculates that the subsidies for existing renewable-electricity plants, which the government has promised to pay for 25 years, will cost €29 billion. Those subsidies, in turn, have created 50,200 jobs, according to data from the European Commission. That equates to a subsidy of over €570,000 per job. … Spain's private sector, on the other hand, creates a job for every €260,000 or so invested, by Mr Calzada's reckoning. So if the government had left the €29 billion in the hands of the private sector, it would have created 113,000 jobs with it–2.2 times as many. In other words, the government, Mr Calzada finds, is destroying 2.2 ordinary jobs for every green one it creates."

Norwich University senior women's lacrosse player, Kacey Abbriano of Hicksville, was recognized by the Great Northeast Athletic Conference on its weekly awards list April 23.
Abbriano, for the second time this season, was named women's lacrosse Player of the Week. In leading the Cadets to a 4-0 record from the period of April 16-22, she compiled 16 goals, eight assists and 24 points. She also led the squad with 32 total shots, 27 shots on goal and 22 ground balls. Due to her efforts, the Cadets were able to increase their league win string to 26 and home field victory streak to 16 en route to locking up the top seed in the 2012 GNAC postseason tournament. She increased her multiple-goal game streak to 22 and moved just four goals shy of 200 for her career.
Norwich opened the conference tourney Tuesday, April 24 against eighth-seeded Emmanuel College in one of four quarterfinals.

York State Bank officials have been working with local law enforcement on the recent discovery of counterfeit money.
Published reports reveal that a counterfeit $10 bill turned up at the bank this week.
The bank discovered several weeks ago that counterfeit $100 bills had been passed to local merchants.
York Police Chief Don Klug says comparing the water mark to the image in the middle of the bill is a good way to detect a fake. The images should match.
Also, he says, when a bill is turned in bright light, the numerals in the corner should change colors. The colors won't shift on a counterfeit.

This can appear to be semantics or wordplay at first, but once you have gone through just the first chapters, there will be no question in your mind that going after "heartburn relief" is not just the wrong goal, it usually is the reason that you've failed to stop and maintain your 'acid reflux free internal environment'.
Heartburn No More teaches you the reason why you must control the inner issues that's producing your bloating after eating, not only masking the indications or getting relief.
Secondly, what makes Heartburn No More unique is the amount of attention that is given to each and every element required to obtain lasting freedom from symptoms of bloating after eating and from digestive disorders. Heartburn No More not just thoroughly covers the lies, misconceptions and fallacies surrounding a very confusing subject, it is just the most thorough course about heartburn, GERD and Gastro Intestinal well-being ever published.
The Heartburn No More guide is very extensive (150 pages of steel solid material) and concentrates on 100% all natural bloating after eating solutions. This means there won't be ideas for nasty medications with bad unintended side effects. In the Heartburn No More core formula area (The 5 step system) – Absolutely nothing is held back. Within this portion, Jeff gives a detailed overview of each step, after which dives into the specifics in a simple to follow manner.
Also , there are excellent charts and checklists that will make it very easy for you to know how you are progessing. Because the Heartburn No More program is just not a fast fix 'fairy tale' solution but a full holistic solution directed at eradicating the main cause of bloating after eating and digestive disorders ( no matter what their seriousness), it does take a little work and perseverance to accomplish. "The dictionary is the only place success comes before work" says Jeff, as he emphasizes the "no quick fix" philosophy driving the whole guide.
The One Drawback of the Program
If there is any drawback to the Heartburn No More report, it is that it has so much info, that a few readers might find it a bit overwhelming. Those people who are looking for a quick magical potion, may be a little intimated at the beginning. However, the good part is that even these kinds of readers can feel certain and reassured that it will be worth the effort as this will literally be the very last guide they ever have to purchase on the subject.
Who will gain most from This Bloating after Eating Cure?
In the largest sense, anybody and everyone who needs to get rid of their acid reflux or bloating after eating and restore their normal inner sense of balance will profit by Heartburn No More. This system is frankly for anyone. Even people without bloating.
This is a whole well-being rejuvenation system much better than 98% of the nutrition and alternative health guides on the market. In truth, the advice in this e-book is going to assist you with all other health issues you might have, particularly if they are related to digestive disorders such as IBS, Leaky Gut Syndrome, bloating, chronic constipation, Hernia, Yeast Infection and Candida Albicans over growing.
This amazing and distinct guide has changed countless lives, and you could actually read hundreds of helpful testimonials and success stories by going to the Heartburn No More website.
I just located this video showing you what is within the method:
The Bottom line?
Anyone looking for a magic pill solution to a bloating stomach after eating, anybody seeking to learn fairy-tales, and any individual looking for a "magic bullet", acid reflux medications, over the counters, heartburn freedom in 2 days over hyped programs ought not to waste his or her time with Heartburn No More.
On the flip side, virtually anyone seeking out the truth about acid reflux, causes of a bloating after eating and digestive disorders and that is willing to put in some work and make the lifestyle adjustments needed to achieve acid reflux freedom, will discover Heartburn No More to be among the best investments they ever made in their lives.

A federal court jury in Baltimore found that an Elkton obstetrician was not liable in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The core of the case is bound to raise moral concerns with at least some jurors. Plaintiff claimed she would have terminated her pregnancy if she had been advised that her child had Down syndrome, claiming the child's expected future medical care was projected to be as much as $16.4 million.
The plaintiff claimed that her triple screen blood test found that she had a 2.6% chance her daughter would be born with Down syndrome. The case was a classic case of he said/she said. The doctor claimed the patient was told three times of her test results and that she rejected the doctor's suggestion that she get the more invasive amniocentesis test.
Most likely, the jury believed the doctor's notes were accurate and made contemporaneously with his discussions with the patient regarding the results. Only the doctor, the Plaintiff, and God know exactly what information was conveyed. But I also wonder the extent to which this federal jury had a problem with the "I would have had an abortion" claim from Plaintiff. Statistically speaking, someone on that jury strongly believed that abortions are immoral.
Moreover, the very notion that someone is standing up in public saying out loud that she would have aborted her own child might also rub even some pro-choice jurors the wrong way or at least make them feel a little squeamish. Maybe those same jurors can ignore their own beliefs/concerns if the medical malpractice allegation is clear. But this is an incredibly tough case – albeit with a lot of potential upside – for a malpractice lawyer to win because the jury has a plausible reason to believe the doctor. (Before you send me an email, I'm not injecting my own views on this. I'm just providing legal analysis.)

We reported the optical and wettability properties of aligned zinc oxide micro/nanotube arrays, which were synthesized on zinc foil via a simple hydrothermal method. As-synthesized ZnO micro/nanotubes have uniform growth directions along the [0001] orientations with diameters in the range of 100â700 nm. These micro/nanotubes showed a strong emission peak at 387 nm and two weak emission peaks at 422 and 485 nm, respectively, and have the hydrophobic properties with a contact angle of 121°. Single ZnO micro/nanotube-based field-effect transistor was also fabricated, which shows typical n-type semiconducting behavior.

|Tacticity control of polypropylene using a C2-symmetric family of catalysts
|Rife, Nathan Prentice
|A family of C2 -symmetric catalysts was designed and synthesized with the intent to polymerize propylene . The catalyst was designed to be C2 -symmetric for the specific goal that the catalyst would have two identical sites for the propagation of the polymer and therefore eliminate some of the stereoerrors that occur in the propagation of the polymer chain . This catalyst would also operate under simple enantiomorphic site control and therefore the insertion of the monomer would be governed by the ligand surrounding the active site . The ligands were synthesized with increasing degrees of steric bulk with the intention to determine if a catalyst system could generate elastomeric polypropylene . Enantiomorphic site control polypropylene utilizes statistical methods to determine the Si and Re content of a given polymer chain as a function of the variable E . Polypropylene samples generated by the catalyst family were analyzed using high temperature pentad analysis of the methyl region to calculate the E value . The goal was to observe E to be equal to 0 .78 provided that the number molecular weight of the polymer was 100 ,000 . The catalyst systems generated polymers with values higher and lower than the desired 0 .78 , indicating too high or too low enantioselectivity of the catalyst systems respectively at Tp = 0 ?C .

February 24, 2013
If Congress cannot avoid the sequestration cuts by March 1, they would affect many people in many ways. In Virginia, one place feeling the effects are those who enjoy the mountainous views.
Whether a Virginia native or a tourist, the Blue Ridge Parkway gives an experience most will never forget. But if lawmakers cannot agree on a balanced deal this week, automatic sequestration cuts would close half of the Blue Ridge Parkway's visitor's centers.
"It will be very sad for all of us who like to use the outdoors," says Patricia Radney, an outdoor lover and employee of one of the regional tourist centers. "There will just be so much that people who want to use recreation that is open and available to them now, will not be available. I feel that it's just sad and mad."
Patricia and her husband had their honeymoon at Big Meadows along the parkway, so they say it especially has a soft spot in their heart. But now they volunteer to keep the trails beautiful and clean and they still hike all the time.
Working at the tourist center she feels for the people who come from around the world from Ireland to Japan and the west coast, who won't be able to see what they want to see if these centers close.
"People that come to see us, we cannot tell them the places they can see and visit because they're not going to be open and that's a shame," she says.
Closing half of the visitors stations would leave 80 long miles between those remaining.
"The beauty you won't be able to see all year long. The beauty of the summer the spring the fall the wintertime. It's a wonderful place up here and there will be a lot that will be missed."

Also presenting: Lea J.E. Austin, Fran Kipnis, CSCCE
Presentation of new evidence on the costs of our nation's failure to align expectations and earnings of early childhood teachers examining:
- Changes in wages, education, and turnover among early education teachers 1989-2013.
- Economic insecurity among early childhood teachers.
- Utilization rates and costs of public benefits by early childhood workers and their families.
- Policy efforts to improve early childhood teaching jobs.
Jesse Rothstein Appointed IRLE Associate Director
IRLE Director Michael has invited Prof. Jesse Rothstein (Goldman School of Public Policy) to become Associate Director of IRLE for the 2014-15 academic year.
Prof. Rothstein served as Acting Director while Prof. Reich was on leave in the fall of 2013. The IRLE community is very pleased to welcome Jesse back to IRLE!
Jesse Rothstein is a public and labor economist. His research focuses on education and tax policy, and particularly on the way that public institutions ameliorate or reinforce the effects of children's families on their academic and economic outcomes. Within education, he has conducted studies on teacher evaluation; on the value of school infrastructure spending; on affirmative action in college and graduate school admissions; and on the causes and consequences of racial segregation. He has also written about the effects of unemployment insurance on job search and labor force participation; the role of structural factors in impeding recovery from the Great Recession; and the incidence of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Rothstein's work has been published in the American Economic Review, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Public Economics, the Chicago Law Review, and the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, among other outlets. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MPP from the Goldman School, and he is a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. In 2009-2010 he served as a Senior Economist for the Council of Economic Advisers and then as Chief Economist at the U.S. Department of Labor.
Katie Quan Awarded A Fulbright Fellowship for 2015
Katie Quan has been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study at Peking University. The title of her project is "Value in China's Apparel Supply Chain." A description follows below. Congratulations, Katie!
Values in China's Apparel Supply Chain
In 2007, the Chinese government promoted policies that would upgrade the garment industry to make it competitive on a global scale. It encouraged manufacturers to expand vertically up the supply chain to acquire capacity in research and design, and in brand name recognition. It also encouraged these companies to relocate their assembly lines to inland rural regions where jobs were needed, and to overseas countries where wages were lower. Development funds were allocated to clusters of manufacturers in different regions. However one recent Chinese government study concluded that most of these upgrades focused on short-term efforts to improve product quality, rather than on long-term strategies to compete at the brand and retail levels. In addition, I have observed that upgrading the skills and wages of ordinary workers, a central feature of industrial upgrading in America and Europe, has been absent from discussion in China.
China will continue to be a formidable player in the global apparel industry for the foreseeable future, but the central question is how the industry can develop into a "high road" industry, where businesses thrive and workers are treated fairly. The answer to this question is far beyond the scope of a short Fulbright project, however I propose to study two relevant questions: 1) how have supply chain relationships changed in the last 20 years in China, and in particular, 2) how have pricing practices changed ? Through answering these questions, I intend to develop a fuller picture of how the apparel value chain actually operates in China and globally, so that interested parties can make informed decisions about how to structure solutions for a competitive and equitable industrial policy.

Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
Building a skilled teacher workforce: Shared and divergent challenges in early care and education and in grades K-12 prepared by Marcy Whitebook for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation 2014.
Across the K-12 and early care and education (ECE) communities, similar conversations are underway about how to recruit teachers and strengthen their preparation, how to provide ongoing learning experiences for new and veteran teachers, and how to organize school environments to ensure that all teachers can best address the needs of an increasingly diverse child population. But these conversations are also widely divergent, given that the histories of the two sectors have led to distinct personnel and service delivery systems.
In order to develop an early learning strategy for the U.S. that is capable of improving educational outcomes for young children, it is critical to understand the personnel-related opportunities and challenges the ECE sector faces, as well as how these differ from those encountered in the K-12 sector. This paper discusses the public perception of early childhood teaching, the history and purpose of education for children of different ages, and describes key features of the personnel systems that have emerged from these varied roots, comparing them along several dimensions, and offers several suggestions for promoting a skilled and stable early care and education workforce for the 21st century. The Foundation commissioned a series of papers to understand the impact of high-quality early childhood programs that are effective in producing lasting gains for young children.
Worthy Work, STILL Unlivable Wages: The National Child Care Staffing Study 25 Years Later
On November 18, 2014, the New America Foundation (NAF) and the CSCCE will host Worthy Work, STILL Unlivable Wages: The National Child Care Staffing Study 25 Years Later. CSCCE Director Marcy Whitebook, along with co-PIs and authors Deborah Phillips, and Carollee Howes, will release a white paper examining the progress over the past quarter-century in improving early childhood teaching jobs and attracting and retaining a well-prepared workforce able to foster children's learning and development. In collaboration with the Labor Center, a section of the paper will present the utilization rates of public income supports by the historically low-paid early childhood teaching workforce. This event will take place on November 18th at 10am at the New America Foundation offices in Washington D.C. In addition to a brief presentation about the white paper, the event will include two panel discussions. These will respond to new evidence pointing to an urgent need to address long-standing inadequacies in how our nation prepares, supports and rewards teachers to ensure young children's optimal development.

The National Workforce Registry Alliance Annual Conference
Fran Kipnis, CSCCE Senior Specialist, in collaboration with Carlise King, Executive Director of the national Early Childhood Data Collaborative (ECDC), presented at the 2014 Annual Conference of The National Workforce Registry Alliance (Alliance). The Alliance is a private, non-profit, voluntary organization serving states that are planning or implementing workforce registries, information systems for the early childhood education (ECE) and school-age workforce.
The workshop, titled 'Policy Agenda for Developing Coordinated Early Childhood Systems', asked participants to identify the national and state policies needed to support the development, integration, and use of workforce data as part of a coordinated ECE data system. This information will be used to form a joint ECDC/Alliance agenda to implement these necessary policies.

The Remittance Landscape: The Spaces of Migration in Rural Mexico and Urban USA
Sarah Lynn Lopez, Assistant Professor, School of Architecture, University of Texas, Austin
International migrant remittances have received much attention in the last ten years, as-according to the World Bank-flows increased from 72.3 billion in 2001 to an estimated 483 billion in 2011. While dollars sent home are used for an array of expenses, little is known about how they are used to turn migrant aspirations into concrete and fired-brick realities. This talk explores the remittance landscape-the built environment elements in rural Mexico that have been envisioned by migrants and erected with dollars-as well as the spaces in both Mexico and the U.S. defined by information flows, practices, and organizations that give rise to remitting as a way of life. I argue that the architectures of migration are powerful evidence of the aims, desires, and fears that drive social change in rural Mexico and urban USA; producing complex results for migrants, their families, and their home communities who must balance new kinds of freedom and agency with familial fragmentation, changing social norms, increased responsibility, and growing debt.

Race Day Recap
Congratulations to all participants in Seattle who came out for another spectacular Great Urban Race! We had around 400 Masterminds at the event, which made for an awesome day of adventure. All participants started the day off at World Sports Grille and went on to explore the hidden gems of Seattle! Masterminds completed a variety of unique activities that required quick thinking, problem solving, and physical tenacity!
Throughout the day our participants bent steel rebar with their throats at OGRE Crossfit and tested their culinary skills by flipping nuts at Hipcooks! Our Masterminds also put their fear of heights aside as they jumped off scaffolding into an airbag!
Congratulations go out to our first, second, and third place teams who all receive a free entry to the 2013 Championship Race in San Juan, Puerto Rico and the chance to compete for $10,000! In first place, we had Avenging Narwhals in 1:39! Urban Sexploration finished second with a time of 2:11 and The Smurfs grabbed the third place spot at 2:14!
Well-deserved rounds of applause were given to some great costumes at Great Urban Race Seattle, but it was Notsosuper Heroes who won the crowd over. Thanks to all the teams who brought some added spirit to the day!
Thanks to our St. Jude Heroes, especially The GUrban Woodsmen for fundraising money to help provide hope to the families of St. Jude patients. We'd also like to thank all of our St. Jude volunteers, clue locations and of course all of our amazing participants. The GUR crew had such a great time and we look forward to seeing you next year, Seattle!

Take Time to Think
This is not a pipe dream.
This is not unreasonable.
This is a movement.
This is the place to
discuss what the media's preoccupation with weight does to us as a society.
this is a place to put an end to it.
Words like fat are bandied
about on family-friendly shows to describe celebrities who do not conform to
the Hollywood and runway standards of body shape. Our children are being raised
on a steady diet of media bullying about weight. And we believe that it is
possible and necessary for it to stop.
Think before you fat.
Think about the media's
inability to be kind.
Before critical statements
fall on young ears.
You have a chance to do
something positive.
Fat is not a word to
use on Oscar night or in any published work following the event.
Think before you act. Think before you fat.
What can you do?
Share your story. How has media bullying affected you? What memories do you have around
the culture of body bashing? You can send your story in words, or send us a link to a video or
photo. We want to collect and share as many stories as we can.
Take the pledge.
We are calling for a ban on media that call people fat and its synonyms on and
following Oscar night 2014. Take our pledge that you will not watch shows, buy magazines or view webpages that
criticize people based on their weight. If you are a member of the media, pledge to not participate in weight bullying.
Support positive media. We are compiling a list of members of the media who have taken our pledge to "think before you fat."
Choose one of these media shows and outlets to watch on and following Oscar
night. Show them that you support their dedication to stop weight bullying.
Questions? Feel free to contact us or to read more about the scientific studies that have been done on how
media bullying affects viewers.
Follow us on Facebook.

Standardized Patient Program
"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." - Aristotle
Being a Standardized Patient (SP) provides a unique opportunity to help shape the medical education of tomorrow's clinicians and progress the patient-centered focus of those currently practicing. Standardized patient simulation utilizes individuals who have been carefully recruited and coached to portray the role of patient, family member, etc., affording students an opportunity to practice and/or be assessed in physical exam skills, history taking skills, communication skills and other exercises.
As a Standardized Patient you are coached to accurately and consistently create the history, personality, physical findings and emotional make up of an actual patient or the personality and characteristics of a family member or other "confederate" necessary to provide an accurate, objective-based encounter. The amount of training will be determined by the scope of the case. Generally speaking, the SP will work with multiple students, repeating the encounter numerous times during a session with no deviation. An SP is frequently trained in a variety of cases.
A typical Student/SP encounter lasts 15 minutes and may be followed by a 10 minute period in which the SP fills out an evaluation checklist and/or provides oral feedback. More complicated cases may require longer feedback sessions. Standardized patients may work anywhere from two to ten hours a day.
During an encounter with a student, the SP may be required to:
- Present all required history as 'scripted' in the case (i.e. past medical history, current case history, family history, sexual history, social history, etc.)
- Undergo a physical exam performed by the student
- Portray a character requiring support while working through a difficult emotional situation
During each session an SP might interact with two to eight students depending on the type of exercise. Encounters usually require a physical examination by the student, however, most are non-invasive. SPs should expect to wear patient gowns and be touched during physical exams. Students are expected to treat each SP in a professional, clinical manner just as they would a 'real' patient.
Generally speaking, encounters are videotaped and used for various educational purposes that may include; student portfolio, review between student and faculty, training SPs, monitoring SP performances, etc. There are times when faculty/staff will observe an encounter using a video monitor or through the one-way glass window in the exam room.
Becoming a Standardized Patient
"Real" patients come from all walks of life. And so, in an effort to provide the most authentic experience for the student, Standardized Patients should represent every age, gender, culture, race, shape and size.
While acting experience may be helpful in the portrayal of certain scenarios, it is not mandatory. We look for individuals:
- With excellent verbal and written communication skills
- With a genuine interest in helping students learn
- Who are comfortable with their own health and dealing with health professionals
- With flexible schedules/hours
- Who are punctual and reliable
We are not entertainers. We do not have a personal agenda with clinicians and/or the medical field. We are not seeking medical advice or treatment.
We are focused on providing the student with the best possible encounter.
Potential SPs are asked to attend an informational meeting and participate in a brief video-taped audition. Once hired, standardized patients become Per Diem employees of the North Shore-LIJ Health System and are required to participate in all HR protocols. Because SPs are trained on a case specific basis, if you are hired you may not be called until an appropriate case is available. As a newly hired SP you will be asked to complete a personal profile that will provide us with the detailed information necessary to accurately match you to a case(s).
To learn more about our program, please contact email@example.com
