CINCINNATI (AP) -- An advisory group has been formed to improve Ohio's foster-care system in the wake of several shocking child deaths, Attorney General Mike DeWine said Monday as he released a report that shed new light on some of the system's biggest problems.
DeWine, who announced the formation of the group at a news conference, gave its members a March deadline to issue recommendations to improve foster care in Ohio.
The announcement came almost exactly one year after DeWine's office held the first of eight child-safety summits in the state following a rash of deaths among children whom the system failed. Those included the Oct. 21, 2011, death of a 2-year-old Cincinnati boy who had been beaten and burned, allegedly by his father, two months after he was returned to his parents' home from foster care.
"We're not focused enough on these kids, and we have to be willing at some point, once the evidence is in, to say enough is enough and we're going to sever the relationship," DeWine said. "(Society doesn't) have the guts and the gumption to say, 'We're going to sever that relationship permanently.' Everyone chokes on that, and I understand why they do, but at some point you've got to think about the kid."
Other than safety, DeWine said the biggest issue is permanency for foster children who are forced to "age out" of the system, referring to a status that puts a child in the custody of the state without terminating parental rights.
More than 1,500 such children in Ohio turned 18 this past fiscal year without ever having been adopted, according to the report DeWine's office released Monday summarizing the results of the child-safety summits.
"It is detrimental to these children, and to society, when they age out of foster care without a home," according to the report, which says that such children are less likely to have a high-school diploma or its equivalency, and that just 2 percent of them get a college education.
More than 50 percent of those who age out experience homelessness and nearly 30 percent will spend time in prison, according to the report.
The report also shows that adoptions overall in the state are down.
Of the more than 12,000 children in the system last fiscal year, 1,241 were adopted. That's down from 1,465 adoptions in 2009 and 2,022 adoptions in 2005, according to the report.
Overall, 15 percent of foster-care children in the state spend four or more years in the system, according to the report.
Members of DeWine's advisory board include foster parents, adults who were in the foster-care system as children, judges who've dealt with foster cases and child welfare experts.
More details were to be released about the board later Monday.
Other problems the board has been tasked to address include increasing accountability in the system, allowing foster parents to participate more in the court process and improving the attorneys selected to represent abused and neglected children in court proceedings.
"Now is the time for innovative changes to ensure that every child has a safe, loving and permanent home," DeWine said. "Every child deserves nothing less."

youth vol. I
a Look into the Free
de Jason Lukas
Acerca del libro
Youth: a Look into the Free
The Youth book, Volume I, is the start of a series of work and love based on the current. It is a culmination of youthful personalities, taking full advantage of their surroundings, and an interpretive color correction method that I have been working on. The color corrections and adjustments to saturation and contrast are interpretations of mood and character, directly corresponding to each photograph and representing the vigor of this generation. By taking advantage of jpeg deterioration during color shifts, I have come upon a digital technique that is more hands-on than those in photoshop. I get to see and work towards the evolution of the photograph. Even further, each page of the book is specifically arranged and designed in correlation to the other images as to portray the essence of this group of people. Being very close friends with the models, my access to shoot was nearly unlimited, and the result is and intimacy and candidness that can be absent from work with hired models. The first book is merely a preface of the series. It shows the reader this new technique, while giving introductory information about the real life characters. It will likely be the gentler look into this unique lifestyle that derives outside of the stereotypical cornfield of Indiana. The people portrayed are undergrads, overgrads, or people who have never left the idea of a life of free exploration and enjoyment of the given environment, a life that is often hidden from the eyes of many local and visiting Hoosiers. This place and the mindset that revolves around it is the sanity of these people. These friends and places are where I have discovered my sanity. – Jason Lukas

Acerca del creador
J. Lukas was born in Northern Indiana and has grown up within the "island" of Beverly Shores, which is nestled between the Indiana National Lakeshore, the Indiana State Park, and the shores of Lake Michigan. "Deer running, creating teepees, and make believe; my childhood consisted of running through the woods, where pine cones were food. The white-tails were allies rather than friends or enemies. Birch bark became currency and coyotes loomed over each little hill. You could scare yourself out there, you could scare yourself alive. The monsters were out there. They were alive. The trees were breathing."

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Hellhorse Dragons are foul-tempered, spirited creatures with tempestuous and violent dispositions. Torrents of scorching flames erupt from their bodies and can easily set their surroundings ablaze. Highly aggressive and territorial toward other dragon species, Hellhorses will tolerate others as long as they believe the association to be beneficial. Such alliances are tenuous in nature and frequently short-lived, as the slightest disagreement can easily escalate into a full-out brawl.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

FAIRBORN, Ohio (AP) -- Businesses in a southwest Ohio community are concerned that possible defense spending cuts at a nearby Air Force base could deal them a financial blow.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Fairborn employs thousands of military and civilian personnel.
The Pentagon has ordered numerous cost-cutting measures expected to affect the base and others if Congress and President Barack Obama don't stop nearly $500 billion in automatic budget cuts to start in March.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/11NVtTI ) reports the Air Force Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson could impose a civilian hiring freeze, fire temporary employees and not renew contracts with contracted employees. The base also may curtail travel, defer base maintenance and curb buying office equipment among other measures.
The base did not immediately return calls for comment Tuesday.

Kate Moss Talks Drugs, Anorexia, Johnny Depp & Marky Mark
In Vanity Fair interview.
Kate Moss is on the cover of Vanity Fair's December issue and inside there is a rare and intimate interview with her, promoting her new book Kate: The Kate Moss Book (apparently a book by Kate, about Kate).
Most interestingly, the iconic supermodel says that she "had never taken heroin" despite being the figurehead of the heroin chic look in the 90s. "It was nothing to do with me at all," she says of her reputation. "I think Corinne [Day] — she wasn't on heroin but always loved that Lou Reed song, that whole glamorizing the squat, white-and-black and sparse and thin, and girls with dark eyes. She loved that look." And what about those perpetual anorexia claims? "I was thin, but that's because I was doing shows, working really hard... Nobody took you out for lunch when I started... You don't get fed. But I was never anorexic."
In the interview Kate opens up about her relationship with Johnny Depp. Apart from being one of the coolest couples of all time, she credits Johnny with helping her to find her feet. "There's nobody that's ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said," Kate says. "Like if I said, 'What do I do?,' he'd tell me. And that's what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. Nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears!"
She talks about the challenges she faced as a young model, revealing that her infamous Calvin Klein campaign with Marky Mark brought on a nervous breakdown. "It didn't feel like me at all. I felt really bad straddling this buff guy. I didn't like it. I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die. I went to the doctor and he said: 'I'll give you some Valium', and Francesca Sorrenti [Moss' friend and mother of Mario Sorrenti], thank God, said: 'You're not taking that.'"
"I see a 16-year-old now, and to ask her to take her clothes off would feel really weird," she goes on to say. "But they were like: 'If you don't do it, then we're not going to book you again'. So I'd lock myself in the toilet and cry and then come out and do it." Presumably this was the one-and-only time someone has felt traumatised after seeing Marky Mark half-naked.
There's no mention of the cocaine saga and whether or not that comes up in the book, but she does talk about "getting Mossed" — a phenomenon that occurs when she leads people astray and parties down. Sounds a little like getting crasted.

The world today is definitely not a paradise. Hunger, abuse, poverty, pollution, and other dangers are all too common. Granted, the world never has and probably never will be perfect, but that is no excuse to not try to make it as good a place as you can. You can help to create a better world for the future. And it's not as hard as you think.

Saphir News, one of the most visited news sites of France, published a news item titled "Harun Yahya, Voice of Creationism, Carried His Struggle to France" on January 13th, 2011. In the item which devoted a place to an interview held with Mr. Adnan Oktar in the past months, the importance of the conferences about "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution and the Fact of Creation", "The Miracles of the Quran" and "Islam is the Religion of Peace" organized at the five big cities of France (Paris, Nantes, Marsilya, Lyon, Strasbourg) between the dates 14-20 January 2011, was also drawn attention to. In addition, it is noted in the item that Adnan Oktar will attend the conferences through video-conference and that there is free entrance to all conferences and a fossil exhibition will be held as well.
In the item it is also described why Mr. Adnan Oktar places so much importance on France. It is stated that the author thinks that the Works of Charles Darwin made French scientists evolutionists in the Age of Enlightenment and thus considers France as the root of evolutionist ideas.
In the item, which draws attention to the fact that conferences about these subjects were organized for the first time by Harun Yahya in France, these statements appeared in:
"Harun Yahya became an indispensible figure about scientific matters in the Quran with his works."
"Harun Yahya is essentially known for his struggle against evolutionist thesis. A special section of every one of his many books is reserved to uncover the dangers of the belief in evolution."
"Harun Yahya is a self-imposed intellectual. He is not a religious scholar or a scientist, he defines himself as a servant of Allah."
"According to Harun Yahya and his team, their duty is to eliminate evolutionist ideas from the face of the world."

Sister Catherine Hartman Spiritual Companionship Program
January 22nd, 2010 | SMWC
Breaking Boundaries - Creating Hope
Sister Catherine Hartman Spiritual Companionship Program
Some may wonder if a woman or man serving or having served in a branch of U.S. military and a Catholic sister would have anything in common. The Sisters of Providence don't wonder about that at all.
Six Sisters of Providence arrived from France at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in October 1840. They found themselves in the middle of a forest, with no house or school in sight. Yet by the next July, these six brave women, led by Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, had received women into the community and had opened St. Mary's Academy, forerunner of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. They overcame the boundaries of language, culture and religious prejudice to tend to the needs of their time.
Twenty years later, during the War Between the State, eleven Sisters of Providence ministered in U.S. military hospitals in Vincennes and Indianapolis, Indiana. Serving those in their care as hospital director, as nurses or "in household duties that contributed to the smooth running of the hospital" the Sisters cared for their patients' physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
Before becoming Sisters of Providence, three of our members knew active duty. Sister Francis de Lourdes Reilly (RIP) worked as a World War I Army nurse. Sister Catherine Hartman (RIP), for whom this program is named, served as a lieutenant in the Women's Reserve, U. S. Marine Corps during World War II. Another sister, Sister Patricia Linehan, saw duty as a Navy Nurse aboard the naval ship Repose during the Vietnam conflict. Obviously, these sisters' future life and ministry was profoundly influenced by the relationships they formed during their years of active duty.
Today, like all in our country, most Sisters of Providence have family or friends or children of friends serving in all branches of the military. We see the TV images of wars being waged, hear and read the stories of those serving and pray daily for all involved in the areas of conflict.
We are proud of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College for reaching out in a special way to military personnel to make a quality liberal arts education available.
We Sisters of Providence would like to partner with SMWC by offering spiritual companionship to any veteran who enrolls in an academic program at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.
Our idea is simple. We are happy to continue our mission of hope and healing by being available for spiritual companionship. We can offer on-going visits with a Sister of Providence companion at the time a student may be on campus as well as on-going visits via email or letters.
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods itself, the place, is a site of extraordinary beauty and peace. We can offer many places to pray, to contemplate the beauty of God's creation, to be alone in a place of quiet and harmony.
Should a student value working in a garden, working with our alpaca herd to come closer to the rhythms and healing power of nature, we can arrange volunteer opportunities.
In these simple ways, the Sisters of Providence would welcome being part of students' education as global citizens, as whole persons who appreciate the many ways Holy Mystery draws us as a community into peace and unity.

Using $45 million from the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, which has helped rid the former Soviet Union of thousands of nuclear weapons since the end of the Cold War, the Pentagon and its Defense Threat Reduction Agency tapped the Parsons Corporation, a construction firm based in Pasadena, Calif., to work with Libya to oversee the rebuilding and safeguarding of the Libyan disposal site, which had been ransacked during the civil war.
Remarkably, the mustard agents stored in bulk containers at the site were untouched and their inspection seals unbroken, American and international officials said. These have all been destroyed, too.
Canada donated $6 million to help restore water, sewage service and electricity to the site, and to build living quarters for Western and Libyan contractors. Germany agreed to fly international inspectors to the site.
This is quite the story and it got very little attention. Libya apparently had some nasty stuff and thanks to some serious wheeling and dealing here, the west and their Libyan allies were able to collect it all and destroy it at this site. All this in a country that is still unstable with lots of folks that would love to get their hands on those weapons.
No word on who the guard force was and perhaps Parsons Corporation contracted that out to a local militia? Although I have to imagine that there was some adult supervision when it comes to the security for this site. Having worked on similar sites in Iraq that were tasked with destroying munitions, security is paramount. You always have the outer ring of security, and then you have the trusted security covering down on the client and living areas, and their movements around the site. Who knows how this was set up and if anyone was a part of this contract, I would love to add to the record on this.
Either way, good deal and I wouldn't be surprised if Parsons Corporation applies this same model to Syria. I could also see the furnace that Dynasafe made will also be used in Syria. –Matt
Libya's Cache of Toxic Arms All Destroyed
By ERIC SCHMITTFEB. 2, 2014
Even as the international effort to destroy Syria's vast chemical weapons stockpile lags behind schedule, a similar American-backed campaign carried out under a cloak of secrecy ended successfully last week in another strife-torn country, Libya.
The United States and Libya in the past three months have discreetly destroyed what both sides say were the last remnants of Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi's lethal arsenal of chemical arms. They used a transportable oven technology to destroy hundreds of bombs and artillery rounds filled with deadly mustard agent, which American officials had feared could fall into the hands of terrorists. The effort also helped inspire the use of the technology in the much bigger disposal plan in Syria.

Since November, Libyan contractors trained in Germany and Sweden have worked in bulky hazmat suits at a tightly guarded site in a remote corner of the Libyan desert, 400 miles southeast of Tripoli, racing to destroy the weapons in a region where extremists linked to Al Qaeda are gaining greater influence. The last artillery shell was destroyed on Jan. 26, officials said.

When brainstorming Peeps ideas this year, I came up with some pretty good ones that were shot down: Peeps Sweet Potato Casserole. Peeps-Jello Salad. Twice-Baked Peep-Topped Sweet Potatoes. Peeps Ambrosia. The idea that did make the cut: Peep-Za.
Peeps on a pizza, well that's just gross. But Peeps on a pizza-like dessert — that is amazing. To make a Peep-Za, you just need a cookie crust, some frosting and the contents of your Easter basket: Peeps and M&Ms or whatever candy you like best.
For the crust, I like Cookie Monster's sugar cookie recipe because he's the most credible source for cookies I know, but you can take a shortcut and use store-bought sugar cookie dough. Same goes for the frosting; use store-bought if you don't have time to make homemade frosting.
I still stand by the Peeps Sweet Potato Casserole idea. Look for that one next year.
Easter Peep-Za
Serves 10
For the Crust:
1 recipe sugar cookie dough, such as Cookie Monster's Famous Sugar Cookie Dough, or use store-bought sugar cookie dough
For the Frosting:
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
12 ounces heavy cream (1 ½ cups)
For the Topping:
Chocolate candies, such as M&Ms
Salted peanuts
Prepare the frosting: Heat the heavy cream in a sauce pan until it starts to simmer; do not boil. Put the chocolate chips in a glass bowl and pour the hot cream over the chips. Let sit for 2 minutes until the chocolate melts. Whisk the chocolate and cream together until fully blended. Set aside, whisking every 15 minutes or so, until the mixture comes to room temperature (this takes about 1 ½ hours). Once the chocolate mixture reaches room temperature, beat it with a standing or hand mixer for two minutes, or until it reaches frosting consistency. (Note: You can substitute store-bought frosting here if you wish.)
Spray a 16-inch pizza pan with cooking spray, set aside.
Prepare the cookie dough, if using homemade; there's no need to refrigerate the dough after it's blended unless you want to make it ahead of time. Pack the cookie dough into a ball then flatten it into a disc with your hands. Set the cookie dough disc in the middle of the pizza pan and press, from the middle out, until the dough covers the pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie start to brown. Let the cookie cool completely.
Spread the cookie with the frosting and top with Peeps, chocolate candies and salted peanuts.
Surely you haven't had enough Peeps. Feed your infatuation:

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland struck a long-awaited deal on Thursday to ease the burden of debts it took on to rescue its banking system in a way that will cut its budget deficit and borrowing needs and put it on track to end its reliance on EU-IMF loans this year.
Prime Minister Enda Kenny won European Central Bank (ECB) approval to stretch the cost of bailing out Anglo Irish Bank over 40 years, ending a high stakes saga that has preoccupied the nation for nearly two years. It was due to pay it off in 10 years, straining the state's finances and hobbling the economy.
"Today's outcome is an historic step on the road to economic recovery," Kenny told a packed parliament in Dublin. "It secures the future financial position of the state."
Kenny's jubilant speech met with sustained applause from government supporters in the chamber and stony silence from the opposition. There was an unemotional reception to the deal in Frankfurt, where ECB President Mario Draghi said simply that the Governing Council had unanimously "taken note" of Dublin's plan.
The low-key assent marked one of the greatest triumphs for Kenny's government, which had staked its credibility on a deal.
Technical negotiations between the ECB and Irish officials have dragged on for nearly two years, with the central bank conscious that any deal given to Dublin to ease the crunch in debt repayments could set a precedent for other countries, such as Spain, which are also dealing with large bank debts.
However, European leaders were also keen to offer a success story from the region's debt crisis to encourage both voters and potential investors. Replacing promissory notes, or IOUs, given by Ireland to the former Anglo Irish with longer-term government bonds will help Dublin emerge from the policy strictures of an EU-IMF bailout package on schedule this year.
Dublin's borrowing requirements will be cut by 20 billion euros (17 billion pounds) over the next decade and 1 billion euros will be shaved off its annual budget deficit, still proportionately among the highest in Europe despite years of tax rises and spending cuts.
"The new plan will likely materially improve perceptions of our debt sustainability in the eyes of potential investors in Ireland," Kenny said.
"A successful Irish exit from the bailout by the end of this year would prove that a combination of intensive national reform efforts and European solidarity can deliver results."
Yields on benchmark Irish 2020 bonds, which rose to a high of almost 15 percent 18 months ago when the euro zone debt crisis was at its height, fell 10 basis points to 4.041 percent after Kenny's speech.
"It certainly is unusual in the history of the crisis that we are actually being surprised in a positive way by the scale of the response," said Austin Hughes, chief economist at KBC Bank. "Normally we have seen underachievement and overpromising.
"The early indications are that this will make a material difference for the outlook on the Irish economy."
Under the terms of the deal, first reported by Reuters on Wednesday, Anglo's promissory notes, with an average maturity of between seven and eight years will be exchanged for government bonds with an average maturity of over 34 years. The first principal repayment will be made in 2038 and the last in 2053.
Kenny rushed through emergency laws to liquidate Anglo Irish in the early hours of Thursday morning, the first part of a plan to avoid having to keep paying 3.1 billion euros annually on the Anglo Irish promissory notes.
That annual payment was equivalent to more than 670 euros for every single person in the country.
Anglo Irish and its profligate lending policies were at the heart of Ireland's financial crisis. The bank's near-collapse in 2008 pressured the government into guaranteeing the entire financial sector, sucking it into a downward spiral and in late 2010, a 67.5-billion euro loan from the EU and IMF.
Ireland's central bank governor presented the plan on Anglo Irish to his colleagues on the ECB Governing Council on Wednesday night in Frankfurt.
The ECB had rejected a preferred solution two weeks ago when Dublin wanted the Irish central bank to hold a long-term bond for a minimum of 15 years, a proposal Frankfurt deemed to be "monetary financing", prohibited by EU law intended to prevent governments in the euro zone destabilising the currency.

Faculty Members Recognized for Excellence
June 21st, 2010 |
Three Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College faculty members were recognized with the Sister Mary Joseph Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Awards for their high ideals of teaching, scholarship, service and leadership.
In 1990, the Sister Mary Joseph Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Award was inaugurated, named in honor of the esteemed Woods professor of English who embodied the highest ideals of teaching, scholarship, and service. Each of this year's awardees embodies the spirit of excellence, espoused by the College in its motto "Virtus cum Scientia" (Virtue with Knowledge United) in a particular aspect of faculty work.
Recipients of this year's award are Brenda Carlyle, M.S., Associate Professor, Business - for Service; Daesang Kim, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Computer Information Systems - for Scholarship; and Sara Schulz, Instructor, Equine Studies - for Teaching.
Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Award for Service
Brenda Carlyle, a member of the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods faculty since 1983, has demonstrated exemplary service to the College, to her profession, and to the community.
At the Woods, Carlyle has served the College in numerous ways over the years. She has been a member of several College committees and has recently filled in as Interim Department Chair. She helped her department to develop and implement an assessment system and participated in national presentations to illustrate the utilization of Desire 2 Learn (D2L) technology to implement the system. She was interviewed for an article focusing on competencies, rubrics, and assessments written by the staff for the January 2009 issue of Horizon published by D2L.
Carlyle has served on a number of SMWC committees over the years. Her recent committee work includes the Woods External Degree (WED) Advisory group, WED scheduling committee, Program Development Team, and the Master's of Leadership Development Director Search Committee. She also served Interim Department Chair during the 2009-10 academic year.
Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Award for Scholarship
Daesang Kim has been prolific in creation of scholarly publications, grants, and presentations in his short tenure at the College. His primary research interests and activities involve the development of online and multimedia learning environments and emerging technologies in traditional classrooms. He has used his talent and research interests to help develop online courses for the Master of Leadership Development, Master of Education, and Woods Online programs. While he recognizes that developing online courses are a new challenge for many faculty members, Kim helps them with the development and in so doing, he empowers students to explore online learning with innovative technologies.
Kim co-authored an article, "Effects of Text, Audio, and Graphic Aids in Multimedia Instruction for Vocabulary Learning" that was published in Educational Technology & Society. He also co-authored a book chapter entitled, "Cases on Technology Enhanced Learning Through Collaborative Opportunities". He has co-authored a funded grant that purchased Hewlett-Packard tablet computers for SMWC. He has participated in presentations at five national and international conferences.
Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Award for Teaching
Sara Schulz, the recipient of the Pomeroy Faculty Excellence Award for Teaching has been teaching at SMWC for several years. In her job, she combines two passions, teaching and horses, and is "driven to create an unusual learning environment for those who have chosen to learn more" about communication between humans and horses.
Her early teaching focused on rote learning and traditional methods. She has since evolved into a "creative teacher who incorporates novel teaching techniques" that involve higher-order thinking skills. She strives to facilitate more than technical competence in her students; she helps them achieve true harmony with the horse. In the course of her research and readings, she found the importance of the communication cycle, both between herself and the student and between the student and the horse.
Schulz emphasizes ongoing improvement of her teaching methods, engaging teaching strategies, currency of materials and academic rigor. She stresses use of hands-on experiential course components to help her students be more engaged with their learning.

Golden Boy
The 22-year-old owner of this Hargrave 94 understands more about megayacht charter than some owners three times his age.
By Kim Kavin — May 2006
Matt Sawyer is a college dropout who lives in a 1,400-square-foot house. He flies coach. He doesn't own a PlayStation, or dream of dating supermodels, or drape himself in bling. To see the 22-year-old walking across the sand in his hometown of Newport Beach, California, you might think he's a surfer dude. To see him aboard his yacht, a 94-foot Hargrave built in 2001, you could mistake him for a deckhand.

They're in the same school, yet in different worlds
Published: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 12, 2013 at 7:27 p.m.
Forty-three years have passed since the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the desegregation of America's schools and outlawed attempts to undermine or slow it.
Today, the Alachua County public school district is considered unitary by the courts, meaning integration was successful and busing programs no longer are necessary to maintain diversity in schools.
As the school district gradually shifted to a neighborhood model, in which students attend the school closest to their homes, the demographics of some schools started to shift.
Magnet programs, which pull students from all over the district for a particular course of study, have helped reintegrate high schools and middle schools on the surface level.
But students and parents say the two populations within one school don't always mix, an issue school officials acknowledge and say they are trying to address.
According to information provided by the district, 47 percent of students in Alachua County's public schools are white, 34 percent are black, 7 percent are Hispanic, 7 percent are multiracial, and 5 percent are Asian.
Those numbers aren't reflected at every school — not naturally, at least.
Gainesville is still somewhat segregated from east to west, with the east side of town leaning predominantly black and less affluent than neighborhoods on the west side of town.
About five years ago, the district floated the idea of reorganizing the high schools to alleviate overcrowding at Buchholz, said Karen Clarke, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instructional services and student support. Gainesville High, for instance, was under capacity at the time.
The community was not supportive of the idea.
But keeping the neighborhood model of designating which schools students attend creates some unintentional segregation, which magnet programs have done only so much to fix.
School Board chairwoman and former Eastside High School teacher Eileen Roy was on a task force in 2003 that debated criteria for zoning schools.
The major point of contention was whether diversity should come before efficiency.
"I was well aware of what would happen — it's common sense — if we had neighborhood schools," she said, explaining that schools would be effectively segregated between the poorer east side of Gainesville and the more affluent west side.
Although she and a few others argued in favor of keeping as much diversity as possible, several other members of the committee said in a busing program, black students are always bused to the wealthier schools, and that it was unfair for that population to bear the brunt of integration.
Since then, Roy said, courts have not upheld busing for racial or socioeconomic balance. Families do have the choice to seek magnet programs and other programs that would take their children to schools outside their neighborhoods.
"It doesn't seem like there's any appetite for changing the situation," Roy said, adding that there is, indeed, a problem.
"I don't know what the answer is to the fact that African-American kids and white kids are not mixing," she said.
The International Baccalaureate program at Eastside High School was Gainesville's first magnet program, graduating its first class in 1987.
Magnets have since popped up at every high school in the county, with Howard Bishop and Lincoln middle schools following suit in the mid-1990s and Oak View Middle in 2009.
"It was very heterogeneously put together in the '80s," in the years after Florida's court-ordered integration of public schools, said Don Lewis, who has been principal of Lincoln Middle School for 10 years and has worked in the district for about three decades.
As the only black high school in the district, Lincoln High was closed in 1970 and its students sent to Gainesville High to force integration. Lincoln reopened as a middle school in 1973, and students were bused from all over the district to ensure schools were properly integrated.
A U.S. district court declared Alachua County unitary several years later, and over the next 20 years gradually abandoned cross-county busing in favor of allowing students to attend the schools in their own neighborhoods.
When a housing boom on the west side of town made it necessary in the mid-1990s to build another school — Kanapaha Middle — "that took a big chunk of kids away from our school," said Lincoln's Lewis.
Lincoln has an academic magnet program called the Lyceum, which admits students based on high GPAs and test scores. As with all the magnet programs in the district, race is not considered as part of the admissions process.
The student body in the mainstream program at Lincoln is about 96 to 97 percent black, Lewis said. In the magnet program, it's about 9 percent black.
By comparison, 47 percent of students in the magnet program are white, 32 percent are Asian, 7 percent are multiracial, 4 percent are Hispanic and 1 percent is Native American.
At a minimum, Lewis said, those demographics create the perception of segregation in the school.
Wanza Wakeley, assistant principal for administration at Lincoln Middle, said teachers in the mainstream and magnet programs practice cooperative learning so their students can work together throughout the year.
"It's not like a one-time, special-event occasion," she said. "It's a part of the curriculum."
Amanda Morgan is an eighth-grader in the mainstream program at Lincoln Middle.
She has grown up and gone to public schools on the east side of Gainesville and has often been the only white student in her class.
"It shouldn't be like that," said her mother, Cynthia Ford.
Ford went to public school in West Palm Beach in the 1980s, when students were bused across town to achieve better integration, she said. Ford said she and her friends had about a 45-minute bus ride to school, and that's just the way it was.
"That way, there was a good mixture of kids," she said. "So I don't know why, here in Alachua County, they don't do it."
Amanda, 14, said the magnet and mainstream programs come together sometimes, but other times she notices how separate they are.
For example, she said, the school recently had a discipline assembly that Lyceum students didn't have to attend.
Curtis Smith, 13, started out in the mainstream program at Lincoln and entered the Lyceum after sixth grade. He's now in eighth grade, and one of only three black boys in his grade in the magnet, he said.
A lot of students in the magnet come from west Gainesville, and they tend to stick together because they know each other from elementary school, Curtis said.
That contributes to the segregation of the school, he said.
In the cafeteria, for the most part, white students sit on one side, and black students sit on the other side, he said. There's a little bit of mixing either way, but he said the division is clear to him.
Howard Bishop Middle, another east side school with a magnet, has a similar makeup to Lincoln.
While students in the Academy of Technology and Gifted Studies are racially diverse, albeit predominantly white, Principal Mike Gamble said the mainstream program has mostly black students, which reflects the neighborhoods surrounding the school.
"With a magnet program, there's always going to be that obstacle ... of not making it a little school within a school," Gamble said.
He said teachers and administrators do their best to bring students together and remind them that they're all equal.
Last month, on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, a teacher from the magnet program at Howard Bishop and a teacher from the mainstream program combined their students all day to talk about the speech and current racial issues.
At the time, they said the forum was especially important considering that the school is not totally integrated.
"That issue is always going to be there" with the magnet programs, Gamble said.
Similarly, at Eastside High, 10 percent of students in the IB program are black, which jumps to 82 percent of students in the mainstream program.
To ensure students from the IB and mainstream programs are interacting with each other, Principal Jeff Charbonnet said teachers and administrators plan grade-level-wide events and special forums in which the students must work together in groups.
"We recognize that, and that's an intentional part of our school program, trying to create a culture where all students feel a sense of belonging," he said.
But there's only so much teachers and administrators can do to ensure interaction between magnet and mainstream students.
For the most part, students are going to stick with the friends they have in their classes, said Clarke, the district curriculum official.
If students have five classes a day with the same group of people and see students from the other program at the school only during band or PE, during lunch they're probably still going to sit with the friends they see all day.
While Clarke says this separation of magnet and mainstream students isn't a big problem in the district, it's definitely a challenge to bring them together wherever possible.
"Would you always like to have more opportunities? Absolutely," she said. "You have to capitalize on and maximize the opportunities you do have."

Actually the battery is top notch. I charge mine in the morning and its off the charger 7am and I dont back on the charger until after 9pm. With a lot of usage it still last me for 12 hours. Best HTC EVER. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PHONE.

I thought the same as you but I am getting about 22 hours with my EVO LTE, and that's with mid/heavy use. Truly impressed when compared to my Photon 4G.

Too late, the GS3 will be out this weekend....in white too
8. stuntz (Posts: 178; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
actually on sprint its been pushed back.

By two days. But it doesn't matter, the Evo is on par with the GS III in most areas and outperforms it in build quality, camera utility, and screen. It comes down to personal preference, as raw specs and performance are comparable.
21. lsutigers (Posts: 821; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
Both phones are awesome, but, most reviews claim the Samsung software enhancements are pretty gimmicky. S Voice doesnt work as well as it should, not to mention that if it's anything like people I know with iPhones, most people probably wont use it. Also, you can download Vlingo from the market and it does the same as S Voice since S Voice is pretty much a rebranded app by Vlingo. The only cool thing I like is the front facing camera sight feature that keeps the screen on if it detects you are looking at it.
As you mentioned though, there are many pluses to the EVO, like build quality, that's not even debatable, and most reviews show Sense 4 as being more refined and aesthetically pleasing than Touchwiz.
The only thing better about the SGS3 is the 2gigs of RAM, but we now see that the HTC One X and EVO LTE are benchmarking higher that the SGS3 even with the extra RAM, its about 4500 vs. 5000 on Quadrant; not a big deal, really.
Either way I am picking up a SGS3 and will be comparing it to the EVO LTE as that is the closest phone to it in the US since it's actually an upgraded One X.
BTW, most reviews are also showing the EVO LTE / OneX camera to be slightly superior in quality and features due to the dedicated ImageSense chip that HTC uses, Samsung does not but most features are on par.

white , black who cares ,returned this phone after 2 days
6. danwatson (Posts: 117; Member since: 03 Jan 2012)
I at least am waiting till the GSIII comes out. It wasn't like this was a bad phone, Samsung just did a little better. And having a single phone without any significant carrier changes both in the US & international is something the Evo just can't compete with. My Evo LTE is great, but I still can't wait to trade it this week for the GSIII
10. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Don't forget though, the camera button can be programmed to be the R-button in N64 emulators! It makes playing Mario Kart so much easier than relying on on-screen R and Z buttons! (The volume up button is Z)

White version looks sexy.
11. thedarkside (Posts: 654; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
ahh sweet now i can get a white version of a phone that really only runs on 3G. FREAKIN' EPIC.... fail.
14. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1743; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
You mean like the iPhone? EPIC FAIL At least it will get 4G when LTE is up
15. thedarkside (Posts: 654; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
on sprints super reliable network.
16. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
It is reliable for me and in the arena I live in. Go troll some more.
17. thedarkside (Posts: 654; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
well congradulations. want a cookie?
13. cranzie44 (Posts: 5; Member since: 25 Jun 2011)
I had connection worries the entire time with the EVO. Loved the feel but took it back and waiting on GSIII. Had the epic 4g touch with no problem and can't wait til the 32gig SGIII. It's white too, by the way.
18. GeekMovement (unregistered)
Where's the beats audio logo on the back?
22. lsutigers (Posts: 821; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
Sprint chose not include it, I think they wanted the phone to look clean / classier but it definitely does have Beats.
19. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
White GSIII FOR ME just becuz it stands out more and looks more appealing the evo is great tho its my second choice for rite now

If your vehicle was in less than average condition as of January 1,
(for example, accident damage or rusting) submit an Appeal Form and an
itemized estimate from an automobile repair facility detailing the
extent of damage and the cost to repair the vehicle. Other acceptable
documentation would be a copy of an insurance company estimate
describing the condition and cost to repair the damage. If your appeal
is for high mileage adjustment, please attach a copy of the latest
safety inspection slip, vehicle repair or similar documentation which
shows the mileage.

of original cost. Most business property, such as desks and chairs, and
machinery and equipment, is assessed at 80% of the original cost for
the first year and 10% less each succeeding year for six years, until
it reaches a floor of 20%. The schedule for computer equipment is 50%
of the original cost the first year, 35% the second year, 20% the third
year, 10% the fourth year, and 2% in year five and after. It is
important to note, "original cost" includes the full
capitalized cost to include sales tax, freight and installation. All
returns are subject to local tax audit.

Temple Grandin
The University of Northern Colorado will host a free public presentation by Internationally known autism and animal welfare advocate and activist Temple Grandin from 6-8 p.m. Monday, April 22, in the University Center ballrooms, intersection of 10th Avenue and 20th Street.
Diagnosed with autism at age 2, Grandin will offer a personal perspective on autism, sensory issues and social issues along the autism spectrum.
Drawing from her soon-to-be-released book, The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum, Grandin will talk about her own experience with autism and discuss neuroimaging advances and genetic research that link brain science to behavior.
Grandin advocates the benefits of treating autism symptom by symptom, and suggests that raising and educating children on the autism spectrum should focus on new ways to foster their unique contributions.
She's authored nine other books, including Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism, which was the basis for the 2010 acclaimed biographical film Temple Grandin.
Also renowned for her insights into animal behavior and her innovations in livestock handling that have revolutionized food-animal welfare, Grandin is a professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University.
Her appearance is part of "ED Talks," a series of lectures from leading teachers, authors and scholars in the education field, sponsored by UNC's College of Education and Behavioral Sciences.
Free parking is available in lots adjacent to the University Center.

LOS ANGELES -- The president of three, now-closed, medical marijuana cooperatives in San Bernardino County will face drug trafficking charges Tuesday in court.
Aaron Sandusky, who ran G3 Holistic, Inc. in Upland, Colton and Moreno Valley, could be sentenced from 10 years to life in prison if found guilty.
Jury selection is scheduled Tuesday for the trial that will be in front of U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson.
Sandusky and five others affiliated with G3 were arrested and indicted in June on federal charges of drug-trafficking as well as conspiracy to manufacture and possess with intent to distribute marijuana.
The defendants, including Sandusky's brother, Keith, were also charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Sandusky ran a warehouse in Ontario, but the Upland location was the only one in operation when he was arrested.
Sandusky's attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, said the federal government led his client to believe that the executive branch would not enforce federal medical marijuana law in California.
In 1996, state voters approved Proposition 215, which allows the usage and sale of medical marijuana in the state. But marijuana - medical or otherwise - is illegal under federal law.
President Barack Obama said in 2008 that the federal government would not prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries in those states that had legalized medical marijuana under state law, Diamond said. Attorney General Eric Holder supported Obama's position.
Diamond said a key memorandum was issued Oct. 29, 2008 by Deputy Attorney David W. Ogden.
"It confirmed the federal government had no interest and would not prosecute in those states, including California, where the state had legalized such activity," Diamond said.
Sandusky opened his facility in 2009 with an understanding of the position held by federal officials.
Sandusky said the situation is concerning.
"I've gone over a lot of trials that have gone before the federal court - and considering all of them have been found guilty and all of those that I've seen have been denied to use medical marijuana defense - it's a bit nerve wracking," he said.
Sandusky said he is actually facing 13 years in prison with enhancements.
"Thirteen years, which is just mind-boggling to me. It's mind-boggling that I'm not going to be out of jail - if I'm convicted - when I'm 55 years old - for what?" he said.
Bruce Riordan, special counsel for the U.S. Attorney's Office, said it's "the policy of the Department of Justice not to comment on pending litigation."
Diamond noted that Sandusky faces more prison time than former Upland Mayor John Pomierski, who pleaded guilty April 26 to a federal bribery charge. Pomierski admitted he accepted a $5,000 bribe in return for helping a business get a conditional-use permit.
"They want to give him five times what the mayor got," said Diamond, in reference to Pomierski's sentence.
"The former mayor got two years. It's so ironic because it's Aaron Sandusky who's helping people who are sick and in pain," Diamond said. "He's helping people with doctor's recommendations. For that, the government wants him to do 10 years. And the mayor for selling out the people of Upland gets two years."

Australia have recorded a strong six wicket win over the White Ferns in the second One-Day International match of the Rose Bowl Series at Allan Border Field in Brisbane.
Put into bat, the White Ferns were rolled for 181 in 48.5 overs before Australia chased down the target with 18.3 overs to spare, finishing at 182 for four.
The White Ferns were rocked early by Clea Smith who removed Lucy Doolan and Suzie Bates for ducks to have the visitors reeling at 11 for two.
Debutant Francis McKay helped steady the innings, putting on 41 with Amy Satterthwaite (21) and another 41 with Sara McGlashan (29) before falling for the team's top score of 36.
Wicketkeeper batsman Katey Martin provided some late resistance with 33 but the damage was already done.
Smith was the chief destroyer taking four for 32 while veteran spinner Lisa Sthalekar picked up three for 37.
The successful chase was set up by a superb second wicket stand of 106 between Shelley Nitschke and Leah Poulton.
However, it wasn't without its hiccups with three wickets falling with the score on 122. Kate Broadmore had Poulton for 54 and later in the same over removed Alex Blackwell for a duck. Five balls later captain Aimee Watkins took the wicket of Nitschke for 48 to give her team a glimmer of hope.
Cameron (37*) and Sthalekar (23*) got the innings back on track, guiding Australia to a comfortable win.
The best the White Ferns can hope for is a drawn series. The win ensures the Rose Bowl will remain in Australia for another year with the current holders taking a three-two lead into the final match on Thursday 16 June.

• dissemble •
Pronunciation: dis-sem-bêl • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: To pretend, to give a false or misleading semblance of something, to mislead, deceive, misguide, or fake.
Notes: Today's Good Word is a more mellifluous substitute for deceive or mislead. It is completely unrelated to disassemble and hence should not be confused with this word. It is a dissembler who dissembles until caught in his or her dissemblance.
In Play: Dissemblance can be simple fakery: "The fact that Cranston dissembled most of his credentials became painfully apparent the first day he took up the duties of his new job." Anything you intentionally disguise is also dissembled: "I cannot dissemble my love of your chocolate torte, Myra. Could I have just one more slice?"
Word History: This lovely old word was captured from Old French dessembler "to be different", a word made up of dis- "not" + sembler "to appear, seem". It comes from the same ultimate source as English resemble, similar, and simulate, the Proto-Indo-European root sem- "one, as one". These three words were borrowed from French, but the same root became, well, same in English, homos "same" in Greek", sam "together" in Sanskrit, and sam "self" in Russian, as in samovar, literally "self-boiler" and samizdat "self-publishing".
