As one part of its Accountability System, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education oversees compliance with education requirements in private day and residential special education programs through the Massachusetts Private Special Education School Program Review System. This program oversight system addresses selected monitoring requirements of 603 CMR 28.09, "Approval of Public and Private Day and Residential Special Education School Programs," and 603 CMR 18.00, "Program and Safety Standards for Approved Public or Private Day and Residential Special Education School Programs." The Program Review System additionally encompasses selected requirements contained in 603 CMR 28.00, "Massachusetts Special Education Regulations," as well as IDEA-2004, M.G.L. c. 71B and civil rights provisions that are pertinent to Approved Private School Programs.
The Department's 2012-2013 approved private school program schedule of Program and Mid-cycle Reviews is posted on the Department's website at Approved Special Education Private School Program Review Six-Year Monitoring Cycle webpage.
The Department piloted a new web-based approach to comprehensive monitoring in the 2010-2011 school year. Currently, every Program Review and Mid-cycle Review is conducted using this approach. The web-based monitoring system (WBMS) allows both programs and the Department to submit, review and exchange documents and information through the Department's security portal. This new approach combines familiar elements from the standard Program Review and Mid-cycle Review procedures in combination with new features that strengthen accountability and oversight on a continuous basis.
Criteria: The program review criteria selected for each WBMS Program Review begins with the agency conducting a self-assessment by private school programs across all monitoring criteria. For Mid-cycle Reviews a subset of the monitoring criteria are self-assessed by private school programs, along with any criteria that resulted in a prior finding of noncompliance and any new monitoring criteria. Program Quality Assurance, through its desk review procedures, then examines the self-assessment submissions and determines which criteria will be followed up on through onsite verification activities.
Team: Depending upon the scope of onsite activities that have been identified based on the Department's desk review of the agency's self-assessment, a 2-3 member Department team will conduct a 2-3 day onsite Program Review. Mid-cycle Review teams consist of 1-2 members and the onsite is 1-2 days.
WBMS Methods: Self-Assessment Phase: This is a requirement for all agencies participating in the web-based monitoring system and is completed in the year prior to the onsite review.
Upon completion of these portions of the self-assessment, it is submitted to the Department for review.
Desk Review Phase: The chairperson assigned to each agency reviews the responses by the private school program to questions regarding the critical elements for appropriate policies, procedures, and practices, as well as actual documents and data submissions by criteria. The student record review data, staff record review data, and explanatory comments are examined. The outcome of this review, along with 3-year trend data from the Problem Resolution System, and required notifications to the Department, is used to determine the scope and nature of the Department's onsite activities.
Onsite Verification Phase: This includes activities selected from the following:
Report: The report will be based on a review of the written documentation regarding the operation of the school's programs and the information gathered from the Onsite Verification Phase. A Draft Report of Comments will be issued via the WBMS. Agencies may respond to the factual accuracy of the report within 10 business days.
A Final Report will then be issued via the WBMS and in hard copy. Detailed findings for each program area describe determinations of the Department about the implementation status of each requirement (criterion) reviewed. The Department's Approved Private School Program Review Final Reports are posted on the Department's website at Private School Program Review Reports webpage and the Mid-cycle Review Reports are posted at Recently Published Mid-cycle Private School Program Review Follow-up Monitoring Reports webpage.
Response to Program Review Final Report findings: Where criteria are found not to be fully implemented, the private school program is required to propose corrective actions, within 20 business days of receipt of the final report, to bring those areas into compliance with the respective statutes or regulations. A program is required to incorporate the required corrective activities into its updated Application for Approval as required by 603 C.M.R. Section 28.09. Additionally, a program is encouraged to incorporate any required corrective action as approved by the Department into its internal improvement plans, including the program's professional development plans. In Mid-cycle Reviews after the Mid-cycle review Report is issued the program enters progress report information directly into the WBMS for any criteria found not to be fully implemented and for this reason no corrective action plan is created.
Program Approval: Upon issuance of the Final Report, the program will receive an updated approval status. For programs receiving a "Full Approval," this approval will remain in effect for three (3) years expiring on August 31st of the third year of approval. This approval will be contingent upon continued compliance with all regulations contained within 603 CMR 28.00, "Special Education Regulations," and 603 CMR 18.00, "Program And Safety Standards For Approved Public Or Private Day And Residential Special Education School Programs," as well as the Department's approval of all required corrective action plans. The Department may change this approval status at any point during the three-year period if circumstances arise that warrant such a change. For Approved Private School Programs receiving a "Provisional Approval" or "Probationary Approval," the Department will clearly indicate the reasons for the reduced approval, along with timelines for compliance and an expiration date of the approval status. The Department will review all required Corrective Action Plans and issue written determinations regarding approval or disapproval of each corrective action plan activity.
Note: For programs undergoing Program Reconstruction, Special Circumstances or Extraordinary Relief, even if the program has substantially met all of the requirements for a Full Approval, the program will remain on Provisional Approval until the completion of the Program Reconstruction, Special Circumstances or Extraordinary Relief process.

Chick Corea
Down With It is a fairly standard bop and soul-jazz session from Blue Mitchell. Leading a quintet that features a young Chick Corea on piano, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, bassist Gene Taylor, and drummer Al Foster, Mitchell creates a laid-back atmosphere which makes R&B covers like "Hi-Heel Sneakers" or the lite bossa nova of "Samba De Stacy" roll along nicely. Just as often, the record is so relaxed that it fails to generate much spark, but each the soloists have fine moments that makes the session worthwhile for jazz purists. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Installing A $6,000 Engine In A Car You Love Is Worth The Extra Time Spent
The poor car. With its Hurst-shifted Muncie four-speed, buckets and console and factory tach and gauges, it looked every part of a 65 GTO minus the telltale 6.5 Liter badges on the fenders. Its fenders, instead, bore odd PMD 6 emblems, which gave away the sickly, smoking 215ci inline-six underhood, a mill better suited to hauling hay than hauling tail.
From the start, we intended to change that. No, we never planned on cloning a GTO; we wanted something far more capable than a stock 389. As luck would have it, wed already built a 501hp Poncho 455, which had been languishing at our dyno shop since appearing in the Jan. 01 issue. That fit the bill perfectly.
What we thought would be a basic bolt-in deal turned into several months of parts searching and modifying. Using modern speed parts often requires accommodating or modifying other components. But we wanted to do things right, which always takes way longer than slapping the whole mess together. And we think youd agree that installing a $6,000 engine in a car you love is worth the extra time spent.
The beautiful thing about Pontiac V-8s is their common external packagingso dont call this 455 a big-block. That meant we were able to use many stock 65 GTO pieces from Year One, as most of these parts cant distinguish this motor from a 389. A huge benefit of working with Year One is having a one-stop shop at your fingertips. Being able to order everything from a complete cooling system to clutch linkage from a single catalog saves an incredible amount of time. We opted to install a McLeod clutch and flywheel, a Milodon oil pan, Dougs headers, Flowmaster exhaust, an MSD ignition, and a set of Auto Meter gauges to complement the torque-monster motor.
Was all the extra installation time worth it? When a new motor roars to life on the first blip of the ignition, runs smoothly, doesnt leak, drives effortlessly, and sounds killer, we think its time well spent. With almost 600 lb-ft of torque on tap, though, driver input to the worn-out stock suspension is more of a suggestion than a certainty. In the meantime, well get by smoking the tires from a 50 mph roll.

The U.S. Air Force has selected transportable Wastewater Treatment and Effluent Recycling Systems made by Global Water Group, Inc. of Dallas for five bases in Afghanistan.
Each unit can process 20,000 gallons per day and meet the needs of 400 personnel. The systems will handle all the wastewater processing for each base. Each two-part system will be shipped in two 20-foot containers and networked together onsite. The units produce high-quality potable water and no sludge.
The Air Force plans to use the recycled water for maintenance and irrigation, but the recycled water will exceed World Health Organization and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency potable drinking standards (including NSF-Standard 53), according to the company's press release.
Working with U.S. military engineers, Global designed a process utilizing a super-charged air environment to promote better sludge digestion and combined this with its proprietary Recycling and proprietary LS3™ (water purification) components to create this processing system.
The effluent from the wastewater treatment unit flows into the recycling component, which removes remaining suspended solids down to 5-microns and recycles those suspended solids back to the digestive process of the wastewater treatment. All remaining effluent is processed through the LS3 water purification component, which removes all parasites and hazardous chemicals, and with ultraviolet light, kills or neutralizes the bacteria (E. coli) and viruses.

Alberta On-Campus Public Affairs and Social Sciences Masters Programs
Start exploring Graduate Schools with Public Affairs and Social Sciences Masters Degree Programs if the idea of studying on campus and the college experience is appealing to you. Whether you are interested in archaeology, counseling psychology, social work, non-profit or public administration, there are many options for a campus-based graduate education in the social and behavioral sciences.
Inside a Public Affairs and Social Sciences Masters Degree Program
The social sciences encompass the behavioral sciences and the humanities. Generalized Social Science Masters degree programs in social science often take an interdisciplinary focus, where students explore a broad curriculum that might include courses in topics such as history, economics, political science, anthropology and sociology.
The Behavioral Sciences include aspects of neuroscience, psychology and counseling, or Social Work. These disciplines may require doctoral degrees for certain levels of clinical practice, so a Masters degree is either a useful stepping-stone or a way to potentially prepare for licensure and the workplace.
In terms of Master of Public Affairs, this type of degree falls into the category of Public Administration. Whereas the Master of Business Administration is considered a preparation for entrepreneurs or management of private companies and organizations, the MPA is the degree of choice if you aspire to work in government or in public policy, emergency management, environmental management or law enforcement.
Most programs require a thesis or capstone project in order to graduate. Program length differs.
DID YOU KNOW? Most sociology jobs require a master's degree or Ph.D[i]
What Type of Masters Degree in Social Sciences is right for you?
- If you are interested in culture, field-work, examining artifacts and history, you might choose
- a Masters in Anthropology or a Masters in Archaeology.
- If health education or bioethics interests you, look into Masters in Public Health degree programs
- If you are interested in a human-centered field, whether in understanding the brain, cognition, or how to counsel or serve others, you might review Masters in Neuroscience, Masters in Counseling Psychology - Art Therapy, Career Counseling, Counseling & Therapy, Marriage & Family Counseling, Rehabilitation Counseling, MSW Programs, Masters in Gerontology, Masters in Human Services or Masters in Psychology -Applied Behavior Analysis, Clinical, Cognitive, Community, Developmental, Forensic, Holistic, Organizational, Social & Personality and Sports Psychology.
- If you enjoy research, or studying society using both empirical investigation and critical analysis to understand issues such as crime and demography, browse Masters in Sociology, or Masters in Urban Affairs & Planning.
- If jurisprudence, law and politics interest you, explore Masters in International Relations, Masters in Political Science or Masters in Conflict & Peace Studies
- If you prefer management, business or finance, review Masters in Non-Profit Administration, Masters in Economics, Masters in Emergency Management or Masters in Environmental Management
- If you are interested in Public Affairs, review Masters in Public Administration & Policy degree programs
Essentials of Search: Finding a Graduate School for Public Affairs or Social Sciences
GradSchools.com has some efficient navigation tools to help you land on the Public Affairs and Social Sciences Masters Degree that aligns with your goals. Once you have decided on the 'what', focus on the 'how' by selecting the campus program format to look through listings in that domain. You can also initiate a search fro Graduate Schools by location, especially if there is a city, state, or country that you know you want to study in. Each search will yield results.
If you open a few links in your browser, you can visit a few universities' websites to get a feel for it, and use the request info setting to obtain details about the things you want to know: cost, admissions, prerequisites, financial aid and so on. You also want to find out whether a university stands out for one program over another (Neuroscience here, Economics there)
FACT: Political scientists often complete a master of public administration (MPA), master of public policy (MPP), or master of public affairs degree[ii].
Potential Benefits to On-Campus Study
If you have attended college for your undergraduate degree, you already know how it feels to have access to libraries, laboratories or student services onsite. Graduate School is another two years or more, so you are wondering if attending class makes sense to you. It is definitely a personal choice, but there are a few potential advantages. The social learning atmosphere of a campus might provide a great forum for things like:
- Participation in campus activities, feeling of community
- Motivation: Programs are intense and challenging but having a consistent schedule may be grounding and give you the impetus to excel
- Fine tuning your communication and interpersonal skills
- Team-building or leadership skills
- Getting in-person assistance from professors
- Using on site research facilities
- Building lively discussion, brainstorming and learning to ask questions in public especially in interdisciplinary programs
- Forming new networks
Accreditation is a way for an outside, non-governmental agency to verify the quality of an institution of higher learning and specific programs. Since Public Affairs and Social Sciences Masters Degree Programs span so many disciplines, you want to ensure that the grad school you choose meets the standards set by its field. For example
- AACSB - Business Schools, business, economics.
- NASPAA - Public policy, affairs, and administration.
- CSWE – Social Work Masters Programs
Ready to Take the Next Step?
Many Masters students are currently working professionals, and it is not uncommon for Graduate Schools with Public Affairs and Social Sciences Masters Degree Programs to hold classes during the evenings or weekends in order to accommodate this trend. Often graduate programs involve research, with much time in the lab, in the library, or getting good guidance from your faculty. Experiencing this in-person and in real time may be what it takes to excel and enjoy the challenging and fruitful years ahead.

Beer & Circus: How Big-Time College Sports Is Crippling Undergraduate Educationby Karen Handley • October 16, 2007 Share:
Wabash College will host Murray Sperber who will give a talk on "Collegiate Sports, Booze, and Higher Education in the Era of Beer and Circus" at 8 p.m. Thursday, November 1, in Room 101 (Lovell Lecture Room) in Baxter Hall.
Sperber will offer thoughts on intercollegiate athletics in light of his book, "Beer and Circus: How Big-Time Sports is Crippling Undergraduate Education." Sperber best summarized his book when he told an interviewer in 2000 from Publishers Weekly, "What has happened for many schools is that they can't give undergraduate students much of an education. So we give them this wonderful lifestyle experience. It's essentially beer and circus. It's a party a scene revolving around intercollegiate athletics."
Sperber is Professor Emeritus at Indiana University in English and American Studies and is a nationally recognized expert on athletics in higher education. Before retiring in 2004 to live and write in California's San Francisco Bay area, Sperber had taught in Bloomington since 1971.
Previously, Sperber has chaired the Drake Group, a national organization advocating the reform of intercollegiate athletics, and has appeared on national TV programs such as 60 Minutes, Nightline, Good Morning America, The Lehrer Newshour, and Outside the Lines. He has also been heard on National Public Radio. He received his B.A. from Purdue University and both his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.
His talk, sponsored by the College Lecture Committee and the Hadley Fund, is free and open to the public.

text: Farm Bill Extension Gets Senate OK January 1, 2013 02:55 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email A nine-month farm bill extension passed the Senate on Tuesday as part of fiscal cliff legislation, Politico reports. "The upshot is a victory for Southern agricultural interests with the greatest stake in a costly system of direct cash payments to often already profitable producers," Politico says. "In the dairy arena, giant processors like Dean Foods Co. come out ahead while the outcome is a major blow for the National Milk Producers Federation, which watched with disbelief from the sidelines on New Year's Eve." The timing of a House vote on fiscal cliff legislation had not been determined as of Tuesday morning. Earlier, three separate farm bill extensions had been filed. On Monday, President Barack Obama urged Congress to act to prevent a tax increase for the middle class. Click here to read the complete Politico report on the farm bill extension. Back to news

Beach please
The whitest person aliiiive!! And happy as can be:)
23, V�ler i Hedmark
Hi everyone. I'm finally making it easier for every human on earth to read my highly spontaneous an nonsense blog. I've had my beloved chicfactory since I was about 17, so just because I say it's weird and stupid doesn't mean you can too. Having that said, please laugh and cry, let my words inspire you to FEEL something, PLEASE. Or else all of this goes to waste. We're talking about my time and priorities, guys. Enjoy my life in New York. And follow me on instagram: ingebokka. And snapchat with the same nickname.

Author Notes: A local restaurant, 2Amy's Pizzeria, makes the most unreal fava bean crostini during fresh fava season. It makes me swoon, and over the years, I've eaten as many as possible. Last year, my hubby and I decided we really needed to come up with our own version, and this is it. Not only is it beautiful and simple and the flavors of favas, mint and pecorino burst in every bite.
At the farmers market several weeks ago, I was greedily filling my sack with pounds of favas- several women smiled and said I really must adore these. What was I planning to do with them? I came home and made this of course! —em-i-lis
Serves: 4-8, depending on how many you're willing to share
baguette, sliced and brushed with olive oil
pound shelled and skinned fava beans (this is about 1 lb 5 oz shelled favas, so probably nearly 2 pounds whole favas)
cup extra virgin olive oil
ounces grated pecorino, plus more for shaving on top the crostini
teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
cup mint leaves
juice of 1/2 lemon
freshly ground pepper
- To prepare the fresh favas: shell the beans. Heat a medium pot of water to boiling; blanch shelled favas in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to an ice bath (bowl of water + ice) to cool rapidly. When cool, use your fingernail or a paring knife to slice open the skin and slip the inner beans out. After doing this, you should have roughly a pound left.
- Preheat oven to 450. Place the baguette slices, brushed with olive oil, on a baking sheet, and set aside.
- In a food processor, put the shelled, blanched, cooled and skinned fava beans, the 1/3 c of EVOO, pecorino, salt, mint leaves, lemon juice and several rounds of freshly ground pepper. Puree until chunky but smooth.
- Put the baking sheet of baguette slices into the oven and cook until golden brown. Remove and dab 1-2 T of fava bean puree on each slice. Sprinkle with salt if you want, drizzle with a little EVOO and shave a bit of pecorino on top. Serve!

Fiscal Countdown
Whatever happens in the days leading up to Aug. 2, the day when the United States will reach its approved debt limit, the tenor of the budget negotiations has been extremely dispiriting. What has been until now a routine matter of governance has developed into a no-holds-barred ideological battle. News that the Gang of Six senators is working on a bipartisan resolution is welcome, but it is still unclear whether they can convince Republicans in the House of Representatives to compromise.
The deficit is a matter of great concern, but Republican lawmakers have chosen the wrong moment to take a stand. Failing to raise the debt ceiling would only exacerbate the nation's budget woes. Republican leaders in the House are pushing for a balanced budget amendment and drastic cuts in spending in exchange for a deal. More troubling, they refuse to consider any measure to raise revenue, even in the form of closing tax loopholes for high earners. So the poor, the marginalized and the sick—the primary victims of cuts in government spending—would be made to sacrifice while the affluent would escape additional tax burdens.
Simple fairness and a commitment to the common good demand a more equitable solution. A long-term budget-reduction plan must include an increase in revenue, not just a series of cuts. If necessary, this will require an increase in taxes, a measure in keeping with Catholic social teaching. The president has been unusually active in the budget negotiations, a welcome development, but he needs to exercise still greater moral leadership. A compelling case for shared sacrifice and the moral value of government has yet to be made.
Press Ethics
Reporters are privileged to be able to ask questions others cannot and to give a voice to those who have none. But there is a line between investigation and invasion of privacy, which the staff of the British tabloid The News of the World allegedly have crossed. They have been accused of hacking the phones of individuals ranging from a murdered teen to the families of fallen soldiers, as well as of bribing police officers and harassing politicians. The stories of corruption at the British publications owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation seem to multiply daily.
The scandal has prompted outcry from readers, politicians and journalists. Even the Vatican paper, L'Osservatore Romano, has weighed in, calling for the establishment of "info-ethics" and for justice and "respect for the dignity of every human person." Investigations are underway, and we hope they will lead to reform.
At its best, journalism produces stories that allow for a more free and informed society. Journalists should be uncovering scandals, not perpetrating them. In order to operate freely, the press must refrain from collusion with law enforcement or politicians. Bribes and back-room deals among these groups can result in the downfall of all three. Already there have been at least 10 arrests related to the hacking and several high-profile resignations, including those of two Scotland Yard officers; the chief executive of News International, Rebekah Brooks; and Les Hinton, publisher of The Wall Street Journal. Ms. Brooks claims that The News of the World is not the only newspaper to use unscrupulous methods of reporting. The depth of this scandal is not only indicative of corruption but of a willing and enthusiastic market for stories like these. Certainly the publications should take responsibility for their actions, but readers must take a closer look at their own participation as well.
A New Tone in Rome
In 2009 Cardinal Franc Rodé, C.M., the former prefect of the Vatican congregation for religious, announced a "visitation" of women's religious orders in the United States convened in response to "concerns…about the welfare of religious women and consecrated life in general." The reaction of American women religious ranged from confusion and wariness to alarm and resentment.
Since then, things have changed. Cardinal Rodé has retired, and his successor, Archbishop João Bráz de Aviz of Brazil, is quickly setting a new tone for the dicastery. In a recent interview, he acknowledged that the visitation had been met with "mistrust" and triggered "confrontation" between the congregation and some women's orders. The archbishop expressed hope of proceeding in a different manner and remarked, "We have started to listen again." Admit-ting that some problems await resolution, he is optimistic that this can be done "in another way" than in the past.
Archbishop Bráz also brings a compelling personal story. He grew up in a poor family, and his seminary education coincided with the rise of liberation theology. On his way to say Mass as a young priest, he was shot several times in crossfire from an armed robbery.
The effort to "rebuild a relationship of trust" with women religious is of the utmost importance. It will go a long way toward allaying the tension that has arisen between the Vatican and American women's orders during the visitation. It may also draw appropriate attention to the invaluable work that religious women continue to do for the church in the United States.
However, I wonder where is the religious and responsible press at this time?
I believe it is necessary to get out and publish in secular media venues, widely read by many more people.
The articles may have to be carefully written to avoid the criticisms of mixing religion with politics and the separation of state and religion. I think it is an issue of moral standing supported by different religious groups and churches and by all kind of people, religious or not.
The comment that Mr. Colins males is so partisan, childish and unhelpful it's no wonder we are in this pickle today.
The national debt grew extradoinatily in the Bush years, as afinancial crisis arose in that unfettered era of greed, and all we fet is fingerpointing at the presdent/
If this is what passes for thinking among the people of this Country, God help us!
Would the Catholic Church, led by the US Bishops, contribute to this leadership by speaking out for taxes, when necessary, as part of Catholic social teaching? That might be a prophetic voice. Without exercising our role in the world, there is no surprise that the Church becomes less relevant. Instead of TV ads to recruit people to the Church, why not act when the act is called for?
Underr George W Bush we went into two wars + put into place a drug plan for Medicare, while at the same time cutting taxes. I am not sure but I think this is the first time in recorded history where the ruling powers went to war without a census or tax increases. (Maybe one of you SJ's can research). During his time the National debt went from 2 trillion +_/- to around 11 trillion +/-. I think right now it is around 13 trillion. A large segment of the current debt (and deficit) is due to the same issues, war, Medicare + reduced revenue due to the recession.
If anyone is seriously interested in the numbers you can go to the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) now on the web, so no need to go to library stacks to find info. Suggest you use the July issue since that issue contains all the corrections, and the final numbers for the third year previous.
Which of the following is an example of unfettered greed during the Bush administration:
-Spending many billions on the AIDS effort in Africa, saving 1.25 million Africans from certain death, being cited as having accomplished the greatest humanitarian good in the modern history of the nation by Bill Clinton as well as Africa's leaders?
-Providing prescription drug benefits for seniors?
-Greatly increasing expenditures on US public education?
-Cutting income taxes for lower income earners disproportionately larger than for higher income earners?
The facts are that President Bush was a liberal on economic spending on behalf of the poor and disadvantaged. And he spent big on them too,increasing non-defense discretionary spending far more than his predecessor (65% vs 35%), his tax cuts as a percentage were skewed most toward the lower income earners. That is one reason that the average American, one of the highest average earners in the world, paid not a dime in income tax last year. It is also the reason, as Stockman pointed out, that the democrats are not serious about the deficit and taxes but rather are playing class envy politics by focusing only on the top earners: that would solve very little of the Bush tax cut income loss. Addressing the larger issue, those making over $80K or so and their cuts, might cost them votes rather than gain them class envy votes.
Tom asks for the real numbers on the growth of the debt. Here they are, by increase per president: Reagan, an increase of 1.67 trillion over his two terms. Clinton, an increase of 1.54 trillion over his two terms. Actually, Clinton's terms are two different tales: his first term, the deficit increased 1.12 trillion, a greater rate than Reagan's. Then, when Gingrich and the Contract with America came into play and reigned him in, it came down over 60% to 418 million. Because of Reagan's defense buildup (with the help of Thatcher and John Paul II) and the defeat of the Soviet empire, he cut defense spending all the way back to 3% (with not all good results, perhaps), and after his 2 vetoes finally approved "the end of welfare as we know it," removing over 5 million from the dole, most returning to taxpaying contributors rather than consumers of taxes. Even allowing for his arm being twisted to do what was right by the budget, he was far more the conservative on government spending than liberal spending George Bush.
Bush increased the deficit by 4.89 trillion over his two terms. As McCain, and even Cheney, pointed out, he was a big government-spending advocate. He "spent money like a drunken sailor." Yet we sometimes call the two wars the country joined Bush's Wars, or one as Bush's War and one as Obama's War. The fact is these were America's wars, as both wars were approved by the House and Senate. Only the current war with Libya can truly be called Obama's War, as he has violated the requirement that a war of this duration must be sent to the House and Senate to consider, this unlawful violation being the reason Dennis Kucinich called for President Obama's impeachment.
And of course President Obama in 1 year has almost matched the 8 year total deficit of Ronald Reagan and exceeded the 8 year deficit of Bill Clinton. Compare the way Obama handled the recession with that of Germany's Angela Merkel. They both pumped large amounts of money into the economy, but Merkel also cut spending drastically, including entitlement and welfare spending. In contrast Obama introduced a huge new entitlement health care program, offering smoke and mirror accounting bordering on dishonesty that it wouldn't cost more which no one believed, especially the markets, exactly the opposite of what assurances the market needed. Merkel's Germany recovered, not so Obama's US. He is well on his way to exceeding Bush's poor 8 year deficit record in 4 years. If Bush was a drunken sailor on the spending issue, Obama is a comatose sailor being supported by intravenous life support systems.

General ContractorRiley Contracting Group, Inc.
Area62000.0 ft2
Project Year2007
Text description provided by the architects. This 62,000 sqf renovation and addition project is the first phase of an overall master plan for NC State University's College of Design. Leazar Hall, originally a Dining Hall (Circa 1912), had been subdivided over the years into a maze of office and classroom spaces. This project restores the three level (plus mezzanine) building into a single use building for studios, seminar / review rooms, materials lab, and faculty offices. The project consisted of totally gutting the interior of the building, including all engineering systems. Interior spaces were opened up to create the program requirements for studios, materials lab (woodworking, metal, welding, finishing booths, CNC machines, etc.) seminar rooms, review spaces, and offices. The north-south and east-west axes were opened up, creating circulation zones and review spaces. New systems for plumbing, mechanical, fire protection and electrical were added within the existing framework.
An historic building (circa 1912) on NC State University's oldest campus precinct, this total interior demolition and renovation transforms a building formerly used by nine different university departments into a studio / classroom building for the College of Design (COD). Exterior additions signal an axial path through the building connecting an important campus quad and other COD buildings. Opening the floor re-introduced a cross-axial path between two existing formal porticos. The paths intersect at a gallery/review space under a light monitor. Interior renovations uncovered original trusses and clerestories concealed above ceilings and opened the floor plan to form interior connections between studios, review rooms, and support spaces.
A new stair and elevator tower on the south side of the building provides both egress and accessibility to a previously disjointed plan. It establishes a new entrance facing another College of Design building (Kamphoefner Hall) and sets up an axial connection through the building out to the Court of North Carolina. Leazar Hall had no previous connection to the Court of North Carolina – a major campus quadrangle – and a new entry on the north side of the building combined with an outdoor terrace now connects the two together formally and physically.

The sun was shining on Friday as Ghanaian international Kevin-Prince Boateng arrived at the Home of FIFA to meet with President Joseph S. Blatter. Despite the clement weather, the theme of their encounter conjured up a dark cloud threatening the game, with the two men tackling the issue of discrimination and racism.
"Unfortunately, our extremely popular sport – which involves nearly a billion people throughout the world – is affected by several scourges: violence, cheating, doping, match fixing and discrimination," explained the FIFA President in his opening statement. "At FIFA, we try to tackle all of them, but the question of discrimination angers me in particular. It's abhorrent and we have to combat this evil, but it's difficult to find the adequate response."
For Boateng, who was in Geneva on Thursday for the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination – an event organised as part of the 22nd regular session of the United Nations Human Rights Council – the issue has been especially pressing of late. On 3 January this year, he decided to walk off the pitch with his AC Milan team-mates after 26 minutes of a preparation game, incensed by racial chants emanating from the stands.
More power for referees
"When I left the pitch against Pro Patria, I know it wasn't the right decision, but at that moment I was very angry and very emotional," the midfielder explained to FIFA's President. "I spoke to the referee about it very early on, but after 26 minutes I just lost it and walked off the pitch. It shouldn't be the decision of the player, though. I think that referees should perhaps have more power in this area and they should take their courage in their own hands. But it's not easy and I realise that."
The two men then discussed the appropriate sanctions in cases like this. It is a thorny issue, as some might argue it is unfair to punish a team for the actions of their supporters. "I'm a player and so I know that a points deduction might not go down well," said Boateng. "But we need to be very strict in this domain and, if there are rules, we have to apply them. We absolutely need to have a real threat of sanctions."
This taskforce needs strong personalities and people who stand out from the crowd, like yourself, to give it credibility.
For his part, the FIFA President is in favour of pursuing both preventive measures and sanctions. "We need to follow two directions. First of all, we have to educate very young people and, for that, FIFA already has a fantastic network in our member countries, thanks to technical courses, grassroots programmes and so on. We have to repeat the message tirelessly, and we also need any players who are victims of such acts to report them immediately.
"Secondly, we need to punish. I don't think games behind closed doors or financial sanctions are effective. In my opinion, we need to deduct points or even eliminate a team from a competition. It's tough, and not everybody will agree, but it's the only way to seriously intimidate and stop the troublemakers."
Same wavelength
With that in mind, President Blatter explained that FIFA has been working on proposals for anti-discrimination measures which will then have to be "implemented and applied by member associations everywhere, and at every level. We're working towards presenting something to the FIFA Congress in May."
The two men were clearly on the same wavelength, and it was only natural for President Blatter to then invite the Milan player to join FIFA's new Anti-Discrimination Taskforce. "The President of the new Anti-Discrimination Taskforce, Jeffrey Webb, is a strong and dynamic man who will take action," commented the FIFA President. "This taskforce needs strong personalities and people who stand out from the crowd, like yourself, to give it credibility." Boateng happily accepted the invitation, adding that "everyone needs to be stricter regarding this issue and this taskforce needs to make sure of that".

DAMASCUS - More than 170 Islamist rebel fighters, including Saudis, Qataris and Chechens, were killed Wednesday in a Syrian army ambush near Damascus, state news agency SANA reported. The attack, apparently the deadliest against the rebels for months, took place in Eastern Ghouta, a key rebel stronghold targeted in a chemical attack in August 2013 that killed hundreds of people.
SANA said an army unit "spotted Al-Nusra Front (jihadist) and Liwa al-Islam (Islamist) terrorists" near Damascus, and "killed 175 of them and wounded several others." Saudis, Qataris and Chechens were among the dead, it said. State television had earlier reported "dozens" killed, mostly non-Syrians, in a "well-organised ambush" following a tip-off.
The army also seized the rebels' weapons, the broadcaster said, following the regime's practice of using the term "terrorists" to refer to the armed opposition. Al-Nusra Front is Al-Qaeda's official affiliate in Syria and is committed to the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad and the establishment of an Islamic state. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group with a network of contacts inside Syria, confirmed that dozens were killed in the ambush.
"Dozens of Islamist fighters were killed and wounded in an ambush by loyalist troops, with the help of (Lebanese Shiite group) Hezbollah, near Otaybeh village in the Eastern Ghouta area," it said. A government security source said most of the fighters were Jordanians or Saudis, and that they had crossed over into Syria from Jordan earlier the same day. The source said the ambush took place at around 5:00 am (0300 GMT) and killed 156 rebels. Another 10 were taken prisoner, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Otaybeh area has seen several army ambushes in past months. Syria's war has since March 2011 killed more than 140,000 people and forced millions more to flee.

All kinds of uses are already being envisioned for Google Glass eyeware, and the one that's catching our eyes is an app that would help users find their friends and family in a crowd, and vice versa.
The app, dubbed InSight, would run on the user's smartphone. It would first take a picture of the user to create a digital fingerprint based on what they're wearing and physical characteristics such as long hair.
Once the fingerprint is processed, others who have the app and are wearing the Google's smart glasses would be able to find the user in, say, a crowded mall, stadium or flash mob.
QUIZ: How much do you know about Google?
The app could also be used like a personal digital billboard. The feature could be handy at a job fair, for instance, where employers could identify applicants based on qualifications that users broadcast using the app.
