The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
Real Voter Intimidation
This is the truth of real voter intimidation, not to be confused with what the liberals claim the republicans are doing about Voter ID. I covered that in detail in another post "Voter ID"
During the last election in 2006, my neighbor across the street, who normally is a liberal, decided this time he was voting for Mark Green and some other republicans. He is part of the union and was told that he needs to vote democratic. He saw me putting up my "Dump Doyle signs" and asked if he could have one, so I gave him one.
Cudahy's Image Problem
Image - form; appearance; semblance, the general or public perception of a company, public figure, etc., esp. as achieved by careful calculation aimed at creating widespread goodwill, to picture or represent in the mind
Wal-Mart & Traffic
Some people, when they hear the word "Traffic," think negative thoughts like traffic jams/grid lock. While some people hear the word "Traffic," think positive thoughts of increased people, money, and growth.
Be honest, when you hear the word "Traffic" what comes to mind?
Is it Fair & Right?
Have you checked out Oak Creek's Woodman's at 8131 S Howell Ave. & Forest Hill just between Drexel and Puetz next to the old AC Delco? As of writing this, I have not been there.
Two must have items
If you suffer from back pain these, two items are great.
Three years ago, I had back surgery. My back still gets sore and I have a hard time sleeping.
March Top 10
It was requested that I do a monthly review of the most looked at topics I wrote. I will run down the top 10 and give a small overview of each.
Crime Part III - This is NOT an Unsolvable Problem
This is Part III of many on my series of Crime. Crime Part I - How To Reduce Crime In Cudahy , Illegal Aliens in Cudahy , and Crime Part II – The Statistics for Cudahy were the first installments.
Keeping Us In The "Noir"
Noir – French - means black or dark; noting the black numbers in roulette.
Why must I data mine for information on our city websites only to find it on non-government sites? This is public information. I am sure you have heard me state that.
Proposal On The Table
At the Plan Commission for the proposed Cudahy Station development, it appeared that many people are for Wal-Mart, just not on the IcePort site. That is great (except to McCue and Smith). Many said they would like a 230,000 size Wal-Mart, not the stripped down size of 138,000.
Plan Commission
Today I have posted TWO articles
After going to the Plan Commission for the proposed Cudahy Station development, it appeared that the Commission is in disarray. They didn't seem to know what they were voting for. Even Mayor McCue asked Attorney Paul Eberhardy how it reads, with an answer of "The agenda is poorly written!"
How Childish
At the Plan Commission meeting, I received and handed out "YES Wal-Mart" signs. I kept a few for myself and my two neighbors.
To those who emailed me for signs, I have not forgotten and more are on the way!

History Repeating Page Two
A very informed reader emailed me this info about Cudahy School closing and Wal-Mart spin.
Wal-Mart has helped the schools in the South Milwaukee and Cudahy area, in 1992 Kosciuszko Elementary School was closed due to declining enrollment, it reopened in 1997 after a surge in the population and was reopened, it didn't have enough money for playground equipment. The Wal-Mart on 27th and college (near the Menards) that stored donated two tetherball poles to helped them out.
Making a Difference
*** Side Walk Update ****
While attending the Mayor's State of City address, Alderman Joseph Mikolajczak approached me to let me know that the city is looking at what can be done for the sidewalk on Whitnall Ave and Layton Ave.
Turf War - What to Build?
I get the impression Wal-Mart is NOT really interested in the Pennsylvania and Layton site as some people would wish they should be.
Here is a comment someone said to me after the State of the City address.
"Randy, you have stated that you do not hate the Mayor, does that mean you dislike him? Why use a flamethrower when a candle will do and what will it take to make peace with the Mayor? Your flame-throwing style may have a flaw. You can catch more bees with honey then vinegar."
Talk Back - How to Make Our City Grow
Many communities have found the right mix of housing, retail and manufacturing to keep it viable and Cudahy needs to do the same. Cities are places where people can live, learn, work, visit and play. They should offer a wide range of services - schools, parks, health care, stores, restaurants and transportation, just to name a few. Cities that are vibrant, safe, and attractive are where residents, visitors and businesses want to be. Cudahy has what is necessary to be successful; it just needs to move forward.
Common Sense Policy?
While bopping around on the other My Community Now cities sites. I came across this link and story on Franklins':
Police Officer Told to Remove U.S. Flag Decal From Locker
Guest Piece Written By Scott J. Is our culture dead?
Randy was gracious enough to allow me to write a guest blog on his page
Ben Stein - Expelled (No Intelligence Allowed)
Gag Order
Gag Order - Judicial ruling barring public disclosure or discussion (as by the press) of information related to a case; broadly: a similar nonjudicial prohibition against the release of confidential information or against public discussion of a sensitive matter. (Definition by Merriam-Webster)
Q & A With Gerber
This is my email to Gerber about the safety of plastics for children and their response.
Crime Part IV - 2006 Statistics for Cudahy
Crime Statistics for Cudahy Wisconsin in 2006
Snow Removal This Year
Winter is over. Finally!!
Economic Downturn
Here in Cudahy, things are so good that we don???t want, nor need, this proposed Wal-Mart.
Cigarette Butts Contain Enough Nicotine To Kill Your Child!
Here's an unknown to consumers and not talked about fact about cigarettes from the manufacturers. The reason why tobacco plants produce nicotine is because nicotine is an insecticide. And it is a potent one -- 50 milligrams of nicotine is enough to kill an adult human being.
Stadium Tax Might Live On After 2014
In the paper and on local news the headline "Stadium tax might live on after 2014"
Of course!
Size Does Matter
Joe Henika is right "The national trend is [was] for Wal-Mart to build bigger and bigger Supercenters. That was the way Wal-Mart did things before. Now a Wal-Mart representative tells me that they rarely hear about the store size being too small it is usually that the store is way too big.
For The Next Plan Commission Meeting
I hope the agenda is clear to the Commission. I don't want to be embarrassed of the train wreck that was the last Plan Commission meeting.
A train wreck in slow motion is still a train wreck.
Gas and Oil
The high gas prices Milwaukee saw a few years ago (2002-2003), boosting our prices to California prices, was a test by the oil industry to see what price people would still pay for gas. What better place to test then Milwaukee, Wisconsin a test bed, if it sells here, it will sell elsewhere. High prices are here to stay, we proved it years ago.
There is enough oil, but we cannot turn it into gas. The gas refineries do this to fatten the bottom line. Our problem is the oil companies control the refineries as well. Gas does not follow the supply and demand that we all learned about in school.
Wave Center
The Wave's facility will be unique to the metropolitan area and will bring large numbers of soccer parents to the facility for their children's games, practices, etc. It is certainly predictable that these people will be shopping in Cudahy before and after games and during practices. And there is ample local and national evidence of soccer's growing popularity here and throughout the country. $$$$$$$$
Some people at the Plan Commission meeting were upset with the TIF being used for the Wave. These people fail to recognize that an investment in a sports center creates jobs and generates tax monies. The tax monies come not only from the employment of local people, but also from the salaries of out of town athletes that train & those who will use the convention center. They also fail to see the investment for Cudahy Students that can use the facility during school for FREE. The quality of life that having the Wave Center brings to the Cudahy area far exceeds the more traditional job creation and other tax revenue areas. $$$$$$$$$$

About 99% of the calcium in your body can be found in your bones, so it makes sense that when you think bone health you think calcium supplements. Calcium is an important element in the building up and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, but it's also required for blood clotting and muscle contraction. If you're looking to buy calcium supplements and notice that many of them also include vitamin D, it's because vitamin D is needed for proper calcium absorption and utilization. SwansonVitamins.com offers a wide range of calcium supplements, including chewable calcium, gummy calcium vitamins, and even liquid calcium.

Corrado De Gasperis, President and CEO of Comstock Mining, who also serves as Chair of the board for the foundation, recently announced the appointment of well-known local preservationist Ron James as Executive Director of the Comstock Foundation for History and Culture.
In addition to his work with the Comstock Foundation, James serves on the National Park System Advisory Board, as the Chairman of the National Historic Landmarks Committee, and as a member of the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Cold War Theme Study.
In December 2012, James retired as the Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer, having administered the agency for 30 years. He was a member of the Comstock Historic District Commission for 17 years. In 1991, James organized the Commission for Cultural Affairs and subsequently administered the distribution of roughly $40 million in grants from that agency, supporting the rehabilitation of more than 100 historic Nevada buildings to function as cultural centers.
James is the author or co-author of 10 books, including The Roar and the Silence: A History of Virginia City and the Comstock Lode, winner of the Wilbur S. Shepperson Humanities Book Award for 1998.
He has received two awards from the American Association of State and Local History, one for the exhibit "Havens in a Heartless World: Virginia City's Saloons and the Archaeology of the Wild West (2007) and more recently for his book, The Gold Rush Letters of E. Allen Grosh and Hosea B. Grosh, which also received an "Award of Special Recognition from the Clark C. Spence Award Committee" of the National Mining History Association (2013).
James serves as adjunct faculty at the University of Nevada, Reno. He is a historian and folklorist, with degrees in both fields from the University of Nevada, Reno. He was the nation's I.T.T. Fellow to Ireland in 1981-1982, where he studied folklore at the national archives. James' publications on folklore, history, architectural history and archaeology have appeared in six countries, and he has given hundreds of presentations throughout North America.
James will collaborate with the Comstock Foundation five-member board, comprised of independent, local representation as well as others who share an interest in preserving and enhancing this landmark mining district. Joining De Gasperis on this board are Paul Yandre of Virginia City, Pam Abercrombe of Silver City, Lee Halavais of Reno, Nevada and John Winfield, the Chairman of the Board for Comstock Mining, Inc. and a resident of southern California.
Comstock Mining initially began the groundwork by propping up some of the crumbling structures in Silver City. This foundation has multiple purposes in refurbishing and rehabbing iconic mining structures as well as promoting one of the Nevada's greatest cultural treasures and attractions to lure additional tourists to the storied location. The foundation is in the process of filing with the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status. For additional information about the Comstock Foundation for History and Culture, contact Ron James at 443-7803.

Although the Liberty wig is very pretty, the color I chose (16) had too much shine--in my opinion--to look natural on me. Otherwise, it is a very nice wig. I am exchanging it for another wig (a little longer) in a different color. I love that Paula Young lets you exchange for another product with no hassle! I will be a customer for life!

Prefacing this with info that I just purchased another wig from Paula Young. It's my old standby Leanne and I hope it is of the same quality as in the past. I have quite a few.Liberty looks very fake. The "hair" is much too shiny and not what I have come to expect from your company. I should have returned it but didn't. My bad. Will most probably wear it under a hat.

Love the color (Honey) and love the way it fits. It is very comfortable. My friends and family do not even know I am wearing a wig. It looks very natural..

Really lovely
By Wonderwen
from Southport, NC
Even though the color was different than I expected, I like the wig so much that I'm not exchanging it. I'll save it for fall and winter, and. . . I'll probably have my own hair colored to match the wig for fall and winter..I've ordered another wig in a lighter color, and if I really like the new one, I may order a second "Liberty" in that color as well.
Liberty Wig
By Rhonsey
from Gaithersburg, MD
I used to wear my hair in this style in the 1970's and was thrilled to feel just as glamorous and youthful as I did back then! The texture of the hair is beautiful. I am wearing the wig for special occasions. It looks great with a big hat. The only "not so great" is that the banks are a bit long for me.
Great service!

I've ordered 3 wigs and the color never matches what's in the catalog. EX. 1448. Plus i'm disappointed that I can't find a wig I like with the color I like. The wigs are certainly nicer than 11 years ago when I had cancer.

Demi Soloist
Brent Parolin was born in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada in 1987. He started to take ballet lessons at Judy Russell's Enchainement Dance Centre in his home town at the age of six. From 2001 until 2005 he continued his dance education at the National Ballet School of Canada in Toronto and successfully completed it one year later at the John Cranko Schule in Stuttgart.
After being an apprentice with the Stuttgart Ballet in the season 2006/07, Brent Parolin was taken into the Corps de ballet in 2007/08. In 2010/11 he was promoted to Demi Soloist.
He danced his first major role at the Stuttgart Ballet while still being a dancer in the Corps de ballet: the title role in Marco Goecke's
. For the Noverre-Society's "Young Choreographers" he already created three own choreographies. In June 2010 his Pas de deux
Slight Erosion

world records that are questionable............
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.

world records that are questionable............
The womens 100 meters,the womens 200 meters, the womens 400,and 800.Those are the main ones that bother me because for track athletes who work hard,like Allyson Felix,they deserve a shot,at real records.
Re: world records that are questionable............
Don't stop at 800! How about the 1,500 and 3,000?
I'm hoping Miankova, Heidler, Hrasnova or Moreno can wipe out that Russian witch's 'record' within the next couple of years.
You know what - I had not been specifically thinking about her, but what makes you think that she in particular is any more guaranteed as a clean athlete than any other? Don't be naive. Just because you ahppen to like an athlete or if an athlete has a nice personality, it does not make them automatically clean.
She will certainly be the first female WR thrower of the modern day era that is clean. I hope she is.
a. Short of hitting her with their hammers, how are those women going to break the javelin record?
b. I can't believe this thread has much of a life. You are violating board policy by accusing all these record-holders of being dirty.
You forgot to say that Spotakova's from the Czech Republic ...
Oh . . . that makes more sense.
If Rineanna can magically tell who IS or ISN'T clean without any scientific proof, doesn't that make him/her more likely to be the witch?????
Just sayin...
As I said above, I think Rineanna was referring to the world record holder in the hammer - Tatyana Lysenko - who has failed a drugs test and is currently serving a ban. Is that sufficient scientific proof?
You really think a Belorussian is clean? After Tiskan and the other one go down in Beijing? Hrasnova has previously served a 2 year ban. Think she's learned the error of her ways? They usually do, right?
Thanks Jon for clearing up my rather ambiguous post; I apologise for being unclear. I was indeed agreeing with Powell's post initially with 'exactly', and then went on to a separate post regarding the Hammer throw. My fault.
Please point out who exactly I accused of taking drugs aside from Lysenko who's serving a drugs ban.
And as for telling who IS clean, I don't know about you, but I can pretty much only assume everyone who hasn't been busted is clean; I have no proof of anything otherwise, and contrary to popular belief, I'm not going to start shouting off about people who I think are dirty.
Until the IAAF/WADA tell me otherwise, she's clean.
Secondly, I never knew Hrasnova served a ban previously. That puts a whole new light on her. Go Heidler and Moreno so!
Plus, just to clear things up, Rineanna's a he!
Which is the pointlessness of such accusations and Paula R is the prime example of why. Her WR is looking more and more outlierish, and Jon will defend her to the death.
SP - distances are generally more than two metres down on the WR these days, and even then only one woman regularly comes close to that
DT - Beijing and Osaka winning distances speak for themselves. I'm not sure that I recall when 70m last being broken, never mind about approaching nearly 77m.
HT - Lysenko and her pals regularly provide positive tests
JT - Petra Felke was almost certainly part of the state sponsored regime. Whitbread apart, no else came within 5m of her WR.
If she is clean, Spotakova would be a welcome relief in the modern age where female throwers - at least those that achieve long distances - have either failed tests or understandably attract mass suspicion.
Isn't it strange that people are so suspicious of women athletes, especially with those competing in Eastern Europe & China, (and with good reason, I hasten to add), but don't give a seconds thought to all the men's middle and distance events (1k - 3k, as well as numerous, almost yearly smashing of the record at 5 & 10k) that were set in the mid-late '90's, when there was a product that existed which not only would improve their performance markedly, but also was undetectable until 2002!?
There was always the danger that some of the women from previous eras could get caught for steroid abuse when competing outside their home country, but no such deterrent existed for men in the late 90's. They knew they would get away with it. Lol.
Not sure if that makes people sexist, anti-communist or slightly racist!
I see where this thread is heading.
.....(but my input is...there really are records out there that really are.....questionable when one looks at the situations surrounding them, but until there is a ruling form some authority Matt and Marlow have all rights to say what they say and those of us who would really want to be realists will just have to keep our cool and await the day of truth)
Moderator watch this one its gonna be of those threads....
How about all those 24 foot LJ's ?! Kind of funny that the world's best can barely get over 23 these days. Hmmmm, I wonder why ???
The point I have been trying to make is that every and any WR can be called into question, but I still believe in 'innocent until proven guilty', because I have been falsely accused of things in my life and I know how UNFAIR it is. When Marion was accused of PEDs, everyone here thought I was defending HER, but I was merely defending the above dictum. I have a very realistic idea of how high the %age of PED usage has been in the last 50 years, but I won't accuse someone without PROOF.
the only problem with that "theory" is that the 800wr was set in '97, 1.5kwr in '97 & 3kwr in '96
that leaves 5 - 6y of "still undetectable" on testing but no improvement in wrs ???
also no improvement in 5k/10k wrs between '98 & '04 ???

SOURCE Evolution Petroleum Corporation
HOUSTON, March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolution Petroleum Corporation (NYSE MKT: EPM) today declared a monthly cash dividend on its perpetual non-convertible 8.5% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock. The dividend is for the month of March 2014 and is payable on March 31, 2014 to holders of record at the close of business on March 17, 2014. The payment will be 1/12th of the 8.5% annualized amount, or approximately $0.177083 per share, based on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference.
Expected Tax Treatment:
As a result of the previously announced exercise in November 2013 of the substantial majority of the outstanding stock options and warrants held by officers, directors and staff, the Company realized $31.2 million in current and future income tax deductions related to these exercises. Due to the magnitude of these tax deductions, we expect that all monthly preferred stock dividends paid through at least June 30, 2014 will be treated for tax purposes as return of capital to shareholders. Such dividends will not be reported as taxable income to the recipients, but will instead generally be treated as a reduction in the shareholder's basis in the stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol "EPM.PRA."

Microfilm Sales
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I place an order by telephone, letter, or email message, as I used to?
Recent budget reductions eliminated most of our tax-supported positions devoted to manufacturing and selling microfilm. Without that staff, we need to streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase sales. Online ordering and payment will help us reach those goals while simultaneously giving you faster and better service. Those who cannot order and pay online still have the benefit of using our catalog and submitting their orders on paper with a check enclosed.
How does this new service work?
How can I contact you? What if I have a problem with my order?
Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com and a staff member will respond as soon as possible.
Can my institution place a standing order to receive new reels as they become available?
If your library wishes to receive microfilm of a particular newspaper or periodical on a regular basis, you can establish a standing order by contacting the staff. Standing orders require a written commitment to purchase reels as they become available for a fixed number of years. When new reels of the titles you selected are ready, they will be added to the sales catalog, you will be sent a notice that they are available, and you can then order them through the Web site in the usual fashion.
I didn't find what I need in the catalog. What should I do?
We may be able to provide microfilm for some items not in the sales catalog. For example, we may own paper copies that have not been microfilmed yet. Because each case is unique, these custom orders vary in price. Because they necessarily require a great deal of staff time to retrieve, collate, photograph, develop, inspect, and print, they are considerably more expensive than routine orders from the sales catalog. If you wish to proceed, visit our Custom Orders page.
How long will it take to receive my reels?
We are usually able to fill orders in less than a month, but allow 6 weeks for your reels to reach you.
No. We operate strictly on a first come, first served basis.
Why is there a surcharge if I don't pay online with a credit card?
This surcharge covers the additional costs of manually entering your order in the system and handling and processing your check.
What's a Wisconsin Tax Exempt ID # ?
The state of Wisconsin exempts non-profits and some other organizations from paying state sales tax. For more information, see the Dept. of Revenue form and instructions at http://www.dor.state.wi.us/forms/sales/s-103.pdf
Why do Wisconsin Historical Society members get a 10% discount?
Members of the Wisconsin Historical Society support our activities through their dues and donations and receive other benefits such as discounts on purchases. Learn more about how to become a member.
What if charges appear on my credit card before the reels appear at my door?
This can happen with any online merchant if you place an order near the end of a billing cycle. When your microfilm arrives, compare the charges on your bill with the shipment and contact email@example.com if you have any questions.
What should I do if I'm not satisfied with the quality of the images on the film?
Our in-house lab has always embraced ANSI standards for the manufacture of preservation-quality microfilm. These include shooting multiple exposures of problematic pages and inspecting every reel closely for completeness, proper contrast, density, etc. In many cases, original paper pages may have been faded, browned, tightly bound, or damaged, and so may be difficult to read on your microfilm. There is no recourse in such cases: the microfilm copy, despite its flaws, is simply the best copy that survives. If you believe, however, that the positive reel you received is somehow defective and that printing another copy would solve the problem, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Can I make additional copies of this film, digitize it for use on my Web site, or publish excerpts of it?
Generally speaking, according to U.S. law only the creator of a work possesses the right to make and publish copies of it. That right has lapsed for works created before 1923 and in certain other cases; exceptions to it also exist for purposes that the law calls "fair use." See the explanation provided by the U.S. Copyright Office at http://www.copyright.gov/title17/ As the person purchasing the microfilm, you are the party legally responsible for obeying this law.
What type of microfilm do you supply? Can I purchase other types?
Prices shown are for vesicular copies. We are able to make silver halide copies for an additional fee. Contact the staff at email@example.com if your institution requires silver halide film. These are the only two products we have available.
I know the Wisconsin Historical Society microfilmed many census records but I don't find them in the sales catalog. How can I purchase them?
Over the last five decades, our census records have been microfilmed in partnership with a number of different organizations that have negotiated a variety of licensing agreements. Send an email to email@example.com specifying the Wisconsin county, the census year, and the type of schedule you would like to purchase (population, agricultural, mortality, or manufacturing) and we will investigate to see what is available and what conditions may apply to its sale.

Agriculture & Food
Most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. A family's plot of land has to provide for their nutritional and economic needs.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced.
Distributing food is necessary in times of crisis, and we always try to procure food from local suppliers to save money, ensure faster delivery and support of the local economy. Learn more about the success of this model in Niger (PDF) ▸
In addition to emergency responses, we quickly focus on long-term solutions that strengthen harvests and livestock for the long-term. Mercy Corps works with families to ensure quality inputs, smart land use, good crop yields and a fair price at local markets.

Indonesia's Mentawai Islands have a very hot and arid climate but, because of high rainfall and minimal pests, it is great for agriculture. When the tsunami hit last October, Mentawai residents ran from the waves with only the clothes on their backs. Most tools and crops were lost.
Kenya: Lifesaving relief for families in northeastern Kenya July 26, 2011
"People here are falling down in masses ... it will be too late to do anything if we don't act now," our emergency response leader in northeastern Kenya just told me on a phone call.
Indonesia: Joining the fanfare: a visit to the RW Siaga Plus+ program July 25, 2011
I found myself being swept along with the wave of elementary students marching in the streets. Although at first I didn't know the words to the song they were singing, I soon learned and sang along.
Myanmar: Water buffalo in Myanmar July 18, 2011
A water buffalo in Myanmar's Delta region. Cyclone Nargis killed more than 90 percent of the region's buffalo; Mercy Corps is helping farming families buy buffalo and get back on track.
Myanmar: Buffalo dominoes July 18, 2011
During the eight-hour drive from Yangon to Myanmar's Delta region, I'd seen lots of beautiful water buffalo hanging out in mud by the side of the dirt roads, flicking their ears lazily. Farmers across the delta rely on them to help plough their land, so they're a common sight.
Japan: Re-opening Ofunato's fish market July 17, 2011
The tsunami poured through the Ofunato fish market, leaving the open-plan structure mostly intact but washing away almost everything within it.
Kenya: Chronicles of a "drought widow" July 16, 2011
One of the saddest things about the current drought in the Horn of Africa is that it's destroying families. Men go off with livestock to find water — often traveling hundreds of miles for months at a time — or they drop out of pastoral life and flow into towns to look for odd jobs.
Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia: Not just hunger, but fear July 14, 2011
Nearly everyone in the world experiences hunger at some point during their day. That said, it's different for all of us.
Kenya: Chatting with the richest man in town July 14, 2011
Today the Mercy Corps team visited Elwak, a small town in the northeast corner of Kenya that lies only about eight kilometers from Somalia. I've spent a lot of time talking to the poorest of the poor about how their lives are impacted by the drought that's plaguing this region.
Kenya: The plight of a "pastoralist drop-out" July 13, 2011
I'm a big fan of visiting markets, especially during Mercy Corps trips. It seems that even in the bleakest parts of the world, markets are vibrant, dynamic and often colourful places.

Columnists Don't Expect Much From 60 Minutes Tonite

Columnists Don't Expect Much From 60 Minutes Tonite
When Mike Wallace "grills" The Rocket, two SF Chron columnists expect softballs.
Gwen Knapp:
<<...We don't know yet how hard Wallace threw questions at Clemens, but early excerpts from tonight's "60 Minutes" interview (see Mr. Ostler's column on Page 2) suggest that the steroid era could topple another icon. I mean Wallace, not Clemens....>>
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... 01&sc=1000
<<...Wallace and Clemens reportedly are pals, but that doesn't prevent hard-as-nails newsman Wallace from asking the tough questions in the taped interview. Like this exchange, after Clemens says he didn't do steroids.
Wallace: "Swear?"
Clemens: "Swear."
I haven't seen the interview, but Wallace is ruthless and I assume he jumps in with follow-up questions, and we get:
"Swear, swear, underwear?"...>>
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... 01&sc=1000
Worth repeating: Since Lidocaine can only be obtained via a prescription, Wallace should have point-blankly asked Clemens where the drug came from.
Video: http://www.sportsline.com/video/player? ... hannel=mlb
Wallace did an adequate job (though I'd rather have had Lara do it!).
Rocket came off poorly --as expected-- but he was allowed to work in a segment on his Vioxx use. He said he did it to carry the team, and he now believes it was a considerable risk to his health. He took them "like Skittles." Not good for the heart.
So most won't believe him, but he did engender some sympathy for an ace who took pain med's for the team. That's all he's got.
I loved how he said if he'd been taking steroids or HGH he'd "have a 3rd ear growing out of his forehead and he'd be pulling trucks with his teeth". As if the fact he doesn't is proof he's telling the truth LOL.
When he said he never took HGH I didn't believe him. But three seconds later he swore he never took it. Now I believe him.
Anybody else notice how poorly edited the interview was?
Is that what McQwire did? I forget now. If so, he still got tarnished.
Is Clemens going ahead with the civil suit? In the Wisconsin State Journal it said he might forgo it due to the high laywer fees (or I might be mixing that up with a lawsuit against his old trainer, is that different to the civil suit you are talking about?)
Last edited by Daisy on Mon Jan 07, 2008 10:30 am, edited 1 time in total.
And will make him look like a bald-face liar to the public after he painted himself into a corner of righteous denial last night.
The Feds must be licking their chops,
I am talking about the lawsuit mentioned above. McGwire "didn't want to talk about the past".
His only other options are to tell the truth or lie-both of which have serious consequences. Did he play the "family" card in the interview?
Oops, skipped over that. Interesting, sounds like the one the WSJ said he was not going to file. Who knows what is going on, one has to wonder if Clemens has a real strategy or whether he is changing it as he goes along.
But history shows that the lies tend to have long term consequences whereas the truth can often be forgotton. His choices are bad vs very bad. He seems to be going for very bad. Odd.
After last night he has no where to go but forward. And if he truly did no cheating he would have no reason to take the 5th. He also can't skip the hearing because, as he said last night, if he knew what Mitchell had on him he would have "gone down there and set the record straight".
The hard part of playing chicken is knowing when to flinch.
Watching the interview last night, I was struck by how futile the whole exercise was. No one who didn't believe him before, believes him now, and no one who did believe him, changed their minds either. His 'righteous indignation' seemed a bit over the top. He also asked Mike Wallace, "So how did I get the PEDs? Where's that guy? I ask him to step up now." But . . . his trainer, the guy who DID accuse him of PEDs, WAS the supplier, so that guy already HAS stood up and said Clemens is guilty. After Marion's bald-face lies, it'll be real hard for anyone to take him seriously.
Here's Clemens with the final word:
http://www.bestviral.com/video/8832/rog ... _use_uncut
Clemens lawyer reluctant about deposition
Citing unnamed sources, the sports telecast network reported that lawyer Rusty Hardin does not want his client to submit to questions under oath and will speak with House of Representatives Oversight Committee members Monday. (more)
In the interest of fairness, it's worth noting Hardin's concern with Clemens testifying is more from the aspect of their lawsuit with McNamee than with Clemens having anything to hide.
I'm not saying that isn't a smokescreen, but that's the "reason".

Sweating the Small Stuff: Inner-City Schools and the New Paternalism
August 15, 2008
David Whitman
The most exciting innovation in education policy in the last decade is the emergence of highly effective schools in our nation's inner cities, schools where disadvantaged teens make big gains in academic achievement. In this book, David Whitman takes readers inside six of these secondary schools—many of them charter schools—and reveals the secret to their success: They are paternalistic.

Who Will Save America's Urban Catholic Schools?
April 10, 2008
Scott Hamilton
America's urban Catholic schools are in crisis. Over 1,300 of them have shut down since 1990, mostly in our cities. As a result, some 300,000 students have been displaced--double the number affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. This report, which includes a comprehensive survey of the attitudes of U.S. Catholics and the broader public towards inner-city Catholic schools, examines this crisis and offers several suggestions for arresting and perhaps reversing this trend in the interests of better education.

The Autonomy Gap
April 11, 2007
Steven Adamowski
Though most public school principals believe that effective leadership of their schools requires authority over personnel decisions (e.g., staff selection, deployment, dismissal), they report having little such authority in practice. Based on a series of interviews with a small sample of district and charter-school principals, the report shows that most district principals encounter a sizable gap between the extent and kinds of authority that leaders need to be effective and the authority that they actually have.

The Fordham Report 2006: How Well Are States Educating Our Neediest Children? appraises each state according to thirty indicators across three major categories: student achievement for low-income, African-American, and Hispanic students; achievement trends for these same groups over the last 10-15 years; and the state's track record in implementing bold education reforms. It finds that just eight states can claim even moderate success over the past 15 years at boosting the percentage of their poor or minority students who are at or above proficient in reading, math or science.

It's a 100 percent solution to the most pressing problems in public school funding--and it's called Weighted Student Funding.

Playing To Type? (2006)

Most discussions of charter schools assume that they are monolithic. This study, the first of its kind, categorizes the nation's charter schools into a robust typology according to their educational approaches. It also provides demographic information by type,how many are in each category, what their student populations look like, and so forth,and makes a first attempt at comparing their test scores. The result is a much richer and more accurate picture of the charter school universe.

Bethel considers lowering graduation requirements
Discussing a possible reduction in graduation requirements, Bethel Park Superintendent Nancy Rose said the school district is not talking about changing curriculum or cutting high level classes.
A discussion by the Bethel Park School Board about the possibility of lowering the requirements for graduation to the state minimum was met with negative reaction from residents and high school staff.
"I hope Bethel Park would never consider going to 21 [credits]," Pam Dobis, a retired high school teacher, told the board. "That would be outrageous."
The district currently requires students to complete 27 credits to graduate.
According to the district website, students must complete four credits in the subjects of English, social studies, mathematics and science. They must also complete one credit in physical education and a half credit in health. Two credits in fine/practical arts and seven and a half credits of elective classes round out the requirements.
The state minimum is 21 credits.
District officials said that changing the requirements could, over time, result in cost savings for the district and benefit the needs of individual students.
Janet O'Rourke, director of secondary education, explained that by easing up on the number of core subjects, students who wished would have more time to take advanced classes that they currently can't fit into their schedules.
It would also give students the opportunity to take college courses and to graduate early, if they wished.
Students who needed to take remedial classes in order to pass the Keystone Exam would also have more time in their schedules, O'Rourke said. In addition, students who are less academically inclined could use the extra time to work and to participate in apprenticeships and mentoring programs, she added.
The changes being considered would be phased in beginning with ninth graders entering the high school and the district would seeing the savings over time, through staff attrition or furlough.
"We have to think outside the box," said board President Donna Cook.
District Superintendent Nancy Rose said the district is not talking about changing curriculum or cutting high level classes. The students would still have options.
"I would like to see the 27 credits stay in place," high school Principal Zeb Jansante told the board.
Jansante said that he wants what is in the best interest of the students, but "bills have to be paid," he conceded.
The principal said each year he is seeing more and more students requesting to graduate early. However, there are many students who enjoy sports and other extracurricular activities and who want to stay for the whole four years.
Ann Dovorchek, a resident also advocated keeping the current requirements.
"I understand money is an issue, but we need to give them as much education as you can while they are in high school because some may never have more opportunity for education again," she said.
Residents also urged not to rush to implement changes.
"You need to think long and hard about lowering the graduation requirements," said Brenda Paysure.
If the district decides to implement the new graduation requirements starting with freshman entering high school in September 2013, district officials will have to make changes by the end of February.
