Growing AAFP's Media Outreach: Responding to CNN
If you want to deliver your message to a large audience, sometimes you have to be nimble.
A recent Friday afternoon found me on a rare day off, skiing in Breckenridge, Colo. So did the AAFP public relations staff, who tracked me down via my cell phone. I was on a chairlift when they asked if I could fly to New York to participate in a prime time panel discussion about health care on CNN.
The cable network needed an answer within a half hour.
My answer, of course, was "Yes!"
By Monday, we had plane tickets. Tuesday, I arrived in New York, and Wednesday, I was on the set, under the lights, in makeup. The Academy's public relations staff had me prepped. We had done our homework, and I was ready.
Our panel with Sanjay Gupta, M.D., was set to discuss ways to improve our nation's fragmented, inefficient health care system and followed broadcast of "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare." The award-winning documentary details how our nation spends $2.7 trillion a year on health care, but with a deeply flawed system that rewards quantity over quality, and focuses on the treatment of disease rather than preventing it.
Filming for our panel lasted nearly half an hour, but CNN's edits brought the segment down to six minutes. In those few minutes, however, my goal was to make two important points:
- patients are healthier when they have two things: insurance coverage and access to a usual source of primary care; and
- effective primary care results in higher quality and lower costs.
For those precious few minutes, I had dropped everything and canceled my clinics on Tuesday and Wednesday. Was it worth it? Absolutely. More than 500,000 people were watching CNN on Sunday night when the program aired twice. It will be broadcast twice again on March 16.
The coverage by CNN is a national event, continuing an important conversation about what is wrong with our health care system. It also points the way to solutions that value family physicians and primary care.
The opportunity to talk to America through a national media outlet doesn't present itself every day, but the AAFP is getting, taking advantage of and even creating such opportunities more and more. Our public relations staff doesn't just respond to media requests; it is proactively reaching out to reporters with story ideas.
That staff has helped raise the profile of the importance of family medicine through the relationships it has built with the media. The number of on-message outcomes in print and online articles, radio and television broadcasts has increased 114 percent since 2008.
In any given week, the AAFP president routinely speaks to reporters for six to 12 interviews on topics ranging from health care policy to clinical issues. When the Supreme Court ruled on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act last June, Board Chair -- then President -- Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., did 10 interviews in one day. And that's not even the record. Former AAFP President, Ted Epperly, M.D., once logged 11 media calls in one day!
Again, you have to be nimble to get your message across.
Media mentions of the AAFP in the nation's top 20 markets have increased 330 percent in the past five years, including a 17 percent bump last year. Our media outcomes in the dozen consumer outlets we track -- such as Reuters and NPR -- have increased more than 50 percent since 2008, while our reach in trade publications also has increased steadily.
The hard work of the Academy staff, and our elected leaders, has given family medicine a respected voice in national discussions about health care.
Jeff Cain, M.D., is President of the AAFP.

Religion 198. Experimental Courses
#BlackLivesMatter, Religion and Politics
Description: Religion's ability to mobilize politics has been wielded by groups as varied as the American Civil Rights Movement, the Moral Majority, and Al Qaeda. This course will explore a variety of responses to the question of the relationships between "church and state" and the "secular and sacred." Close attention will be given to ground roots activism such as ACT UP and Occupy Wall Street as frames for understanding the more recent phenomenon of Black Lives Matter and the interrelationship of political theory, social justice, economics, racism, violence, human rights, and the history of racism in America. While Black Lives Matter is not explicitly religious, the concerns of religion and the methodologies of religious studies nevertheless shed important light on the movement. The course's modes of investigation will be philosophical & theological as well as political & practical. Students will consider music, video, and oral histories as source material and have opportunities to speak directly with activists and organizers through guest lectures and interviews.
Love in theory and practice
What does it mean to love? Is love an individual feeling, or part of a community practice? Can love be reasonable, or is it opposed to human rationality? This course explores prominent religious and non-religious perspectives that shape how we think about and practice the different things we call "love". Topics include the conflict between earthly and transcendent love, the nature of friendship and romance, the relation between self-love and politically efficacious love, love of nature, and the ethics of self-sacrifice.

My, What Big, White Teeth You Have: The Trials, and Petty Triumphs of the Widows of Kosovo
Oh, the many ways in which women around the world suffer. And prevail.
Atop everything else, the women, and in particular the widows, of Kosovo have to deal with the horrific fall out from beauty ideals there even as they seek to resume something resembling a normal life. You'd have thought it was only dark women (black and Hispanic) who lighten their skin. You'd be wrong.
From Women's Enews (hat tip to Salon's Broadsheet for hipping me to the site):
Victoria Schultz returned to Kosovo after six years and was amazed at how life had improved for two war widows. Now they have a good pension, houses of their own and new teeth with which to smile. Remarriage, however, seems out of the question.
SKENDERAI, Kosovo (WOMENSENEWS)--The two women had new teeth!
I couldn't believe the white sparkle of their welcoming smiles when I returned to Kosovo last month for the first time since 2001 and went to see Shehrije and Fatime Kastrati at their farmstead in a resource-poor rural area.
Six years earlier, at the end of my two-and-a-half-year stay in Kosovo, I had despaired for these two women. Only in their 30s, all they had left of their teeth were a few darkened fangs. A local doctor familiar with Kosovo's folkways told me that many young girls whitened their skin with a zinc-based cream that made their teeth fall out at an early age.Still, even with the efforts of humanitarian doctors and the relief groups that help these lone women, and their children survive with their menfolk gone, they have almost no chance of remarrying. A widow with children is about as marriageable there as one of their cows. But at least some are getting their smiles back. All they need now is a reason to 'cheese'.

501 Broadway
(217) 222-8655
Hours: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
A Place to Stay
The Salvation Army Emergency Shelter serves the greater Adams County area as well as transients who have come to our community and find themselves in a homeless situation. It is the goal of our program to equip our residents with the knowledge and life skills training needed to find employment and suitable, affordable housing that they might become self-sufficient individuals.
The new shelter area of the building has 10 rooms that can house up to 14 people with rooms dedicated to single men and women as well as families. The building also houses our Family Services operation & Food Pantry. This shelter is the only one within a 100 mile radius that serves this population.
During their stay, residents are required to look for a job, or if they are unemployed, to save money in order to move into a place of their own, and they meet with a caseworker on a regular basis. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, safe environment for our residents. Meals, laundry facilities, phone calls and other needed items are all provided for those staying in the shelter. A normal stay in the Emergency Shelter is 30 days, but could be longer or shorter depending on the client's situation.
Shelter Purpose
The Salvation Army Emergency Shelter serving the Greater Quincy Area exists to bring positive changes to the lives of homeless individuals and families by applying the gospel of Jesus Christ to meet their physical and spiritual needs without discrimination. To that end, our emergency shelter provides a safe, comfortable, clean and caring Christian environment for homeless persons. Continuance of our program depends upon continued sincere efforts by residents to secure employment housing and/or treatment programs for addictions.
- To provide services necessary to help remove existing barriers in the area of housing, employment, health care, and adequate nutrition
- To make appropriate referrals to community resources/services in order to assist residents in their efforts to become more stable by obtaining housing, employment, training, etc.
- To provide volunteer opportunities for members of the community
- To create an environment based on respect for the inherent dignity and value for each person who comes to The Salvation Army Emergency Shelter for services
- To provide assistance to residents in their efforts to identify and achieve personal goals and targets
- To base all interactions with clients and the community within the moral and ethical framework established by The Salvation Army
In order to protect all of our residents, it is required that anyone needing to stay in the shelter must first go to the Quincy Police Station, located at 8th and Maine, where they will have their picture taken and be given a yellow transient card to take to The Salvation Army. Normal intake hours are from 7:00 a.m.- 10:00 p.m.
To ensure the safety and well being of our residents, we will not be able to provide shelter at our facility for the following:
- Those convicted of sexual crimes
- Those convicted of violent crimes including child abuse, domestic abuse, assault, murder, etc.
- Individuals who are unwilling to participate in the program
Alcohol, drugs, pornography or weapons of any kind are not allowed in the shelter.
Shelter residents receive three meals a day while they are staying at the shelter.
Emergency Shelter History
In 1975, the first Quincy Salvation Army emergency shelter was opened on Broadway. The shelter had four rooms and twelve bunks. Clients were allowed to stay up to three days. Meals were provided by issuing meal vouchers to area restaurants. Prior to the opening of this facility, emergency housing was no more than a night's lodging at a local motel.
In July 1994, a strategic plan was established for the emergency shelter program. The plan identified the need for longer term emergency housing and more extensive casework. Along with these changes came life skills training and a Community Meals Program, serving 3 meals a day, 7 days a week to the public, in addition to the shelter residents.
Construction on the all new John Gardner Stevenson Family Emergency Shelter & Family Services Center began in the summer of 2012 and was completed in early 2013 becoming operational on March 22, 2013. The official dedication is on Thursday, May 30, 2013. The new facility is located diagonally from the Kroc Center (open since September 2011), making it much easier to coordinate programs once held several miles away.

I use a labeler with big & bold lettering so I can find everyday kitchen items in a snap.
On-the-Spot Time Management
What to do when the unexpected happens.
We've all had them. You know what I'm talking about–the days we have planned just so. Then, an item we didn't know we needed is nowhere to be found. Or an unexpected call comes in and we have to change our plans.
All hell breaks loose, right?
That's how my day was yesterday. Or rather, that's how it could have been. That's how it would've been if I had not already realized that I get easily overwhelmed when my day is too scheduled for my comfort.
My plan yesterday was to go to my local yarn store and knit all day, and then go home to chat on the phone with a local professional organizer. I wanted to pick her brain about starting a new career in the organizing field.
But then I realized I didn't have a crucial item I needed to knit for the day. As if that weren't bad enough, I'd forgotten I'd told Dad I would stop by in the afternoon. A brief wave of panic set in.
When this happens, I ask myself two crucial questions:
- What's important for me today?
- What can I release?
The knitting class was already paid for, so I needed to attend to that. It meant purchasing an item I needed before the 10:30 class time.
My father is 85 and very independent and maintaining a relationship with him is important, so I needed to attend to him.
The phone call to the organizer can be potentially life-changing, so I needed to attend to it.
As soon as I figured out what was non-negotiable (the class, my dad, and the phone call) what was unimportant became self-evident–as beneficial as it might be for me to knit beyond the ninety-minute class time, it was not crucial. It had to go.
Still, I needed to make an unexpected trip to the store. How can I accomplish this without feeling harried to get to class? I like to use two simple time management strategies–buffering and boundaries.
Time buffering is nothing more than creating space in the day for the unexpected. It can be as simple as leaving for work 5 minutes earlier than the usual time in case you run into traffic, or as challenging as getting up an hour earlier than you do now. The important thing is that you decide what's best for you.
For me, being dressed, fed and having the bed made by 8 AM is pretty important, even on my days off. So, when I found out I needed to get to a craft store before class, I was ready. I was able to buy what I needed and still be the first one to show up.
Time buffering has worked amazingly in my life. I'm never late for work, even on days when I have to go through a bottleneck of cars.
I'm not yelling for a red light to hurry up and turn green! Thus my stress level is turned down several notches. Who doesn't want that?
Setting a time boundary around a task or an event can not only help prioritize your day, but can also keep relationships healthy. Sometimes, we even need to set time boundaries around difficult people. This is another way of creating space, or breathing room, in the day.
Yesterday, I had to set a time boundary around my knitting so that I could visit with my father. I had to set a time boundary on my visit to dad so that I could devote the proper time and attention needed for the phone call to the professional organizer. See how this works? There's space to get the important things done; space for the unexpected; space to breathe.
Who doesn't want that?
Have a great time-management tip? We want to know! Share it in the comments.
A Minimalist Snow Day
We are both home today. We could be doing some online shopping this morning, or watching TV, inundated with advertisements. Instead, we are indulging in our passions. My husband with his needle felting and me with my knitting.
It's a beautiful day.
What does your snow day look like?
My completed knitting project for today–a gorgeous purple cowl
A Life of Esteemable Acts
It used to be that I would do one of two things to make myself feel better–either I would overeat or I would spend money.
I overate to the tune of being morbidly obese with a BMI of 41 and I overspent in the thousands. With the addiction to compulsive eating and debt to income ratio on the rise, I hid perfectly well in society. I was fat and so were you. My debt matched yours.
With the higher weight and the higher debt came the greater shame and embarrassment. I crawled into a meeting for people addicted to compulsive overeating. I put down the food.
Five and a half years later, I still weigh and measure my food and instead of being morbidly obese with a BMI of 41, I am at a healthy weight with a BMI of 21.
No longer is there shame attached to my eating.
Today, I pay my bills. No longer do I throw them away in the hopes that the creditor will forget all about it. Yes, I really used to believe that. It makes perfect sense in a world where burying your head in sand seems like a good idea.
My husband, in all of his wonderfulness, does not know this part of me. He finds it hard to believe that I used to be that way, despite the evidence of what I've shown him (pictures, defaulted student loan notices, etc.) He knows me as the woman who keeps a clean and organized home, sticks to a regimented food plan, goes to meetings a few times a week, and pays the bills on time (mostly).
What happened? How did I go from being a slothful glutton to an organized and detail-oriented person?
A few years ago, a special woman entered my life. We talk everyday, I tell her what I'm eating for the day, and we talk about life in general. She is a decade younger than me, but we have similar backgrounds. Our mothers are Irish, fathers Italian. We're both bad at being Catholic, but love the Church warts and all. Our mothers were alcoholic. And we both have the disease of compulsive overeating.
One day, she said to me, "All the positive talk about ourselves and taking our inner child out to play is all bullshit. Want to know how to build good self-esteem? Do esteemable acts. Get your ass up out of bed every morning. Don't overeat. Be honest."
It's really that simple. Today, my list of esteemable acts has expanded to include other areas.
Be available to those who truly want (not need) my help.
Shut up when they don't.
Pay my bills on time.
Spend within my means.
Save for my retirement.
Save for a house.
Show up for work on time and ready to do the job.
Tell my husband I love him.
Do you want better self-esteem? Do an esteemable act.
Busy Boycott: Eliminate the Non-Essential
I love to wake up in the morning. Although, judging by externals, it might seem like the opposite were true. I'm not one of those people who is all sunshine and bubbles as soon as my feet hit the floor. In fact, I don't even want to talk to you. I need silence. That's why I've made it a practice to get up a full hour (at least) earlier than my husband.
I love morning routines. For years, I've done pretty much the same thing every day: get my coffee, sit in my chair and read my meditation books. Occasionally, something gets added or deleted in the routine. The automation puts the right spin on my day. My morning needs to begin so smoothly that I don't even put the coffee on then. It's prepared the night before and put on a timer. My coffee is waiting for me before I open an eye. It's a beautiful life.
This week, I started Courtney Carver's 21-day Busy Boycott challenge. It's been a real eye-opener. I am now confronted with all the things that clutter up my day–constant Facebook status-checking. E-mail checking on my phone. Responding to calls whose numbers I don't recognize (even just looking at the phone when these calls come in is a time-waster).
I've eliminated these distractions by doing these simple actions on my phone:
- Removing the Facebook app
- Removing (or hiding) the email app
- "Favoriting" friends and family contacts and keeping my phone on Priority ring ONLY. This means that I hear the ring of only those people I've favorited. All others go to voice mail. I can get back to them at my earliest convenience.
By eliminating these things, I find I have more time for what I love, what I am passionate about.
This is a brand-new discovery for me. The first time I tried it, I almost threw my needles and laptop across the room. The woman in the video made it look so easy. Ugh. I couldn't cast off to save my life. I had tears in my eyes. When my husband came home, he knew something was wrong. It was really that bad.
But I was determined.
The next day, I went to my local yarn shop. There was a hank of yarn just begging me to pick it up. I did, and fell in love.
Now, I could cast on and cast off.
That was a week ago. I am making time every day to knit, including it as a part of my morning meditation routine. It's not perfect and I'm making a whole bunch of mistakes, but I don't care. I love the process of it.
Okay, I already knew this. But here's what's different–I have more time to do it. It's not because I'm working less, it's because I am eliminating the non-essential. Instead of watching episode after episode of home improvement shows this afternoon, I am completing this blog post. Sure, I watched some during lunch, but as soon as lunch was over, I shut the TV off. Now, I'm not against television. It can be a great tool. For me, it's a trade-off–do I want the comfort of sitting in front of the tv, or would I rather hone my passion to write? Today, I want to write. It's that simple.
Maybe later I'll turn the tv back on. But not now, I've got too much to write.
The Problem of Unitasking
Removing material clutter from our one-bedroom apartment was a great start. We didn't have it easy merging two households into one after we got married, but with focus and determination, my husband, Mark, and I have boiled most of our possessions down to two components:
- Do we need it?
- Do we love it?
If what we own doesn't fit this criteria, we get rid of it lovingly. This is an ongoing process
Our apartment is now a sanctuary we come home to. We can relax knowing there is enough room to breathe. There is a space between our possessions.
Beauty unfolds.
The Problem
What about the clutter of the mind?
A multitude of messages bombard my mind at any given moment. Focusing is difficult as I have become accustomed to processing input from a thousand different directions. My mind seems to have been programmed that way.
As I sat in meditation this week, I found it difficult to focus on the simple act of experiencing the air as it entered my body.
The Process
The compassionate teacher gave us a phrase to use, focusing on the three-step process of breath:
- Breathe in–OHM
- Stop–(AH)
- Breathe out–(WHOM)
Thought distracted me.
The Lesson
Everything we do has a lesson, or virtue. Even if we do it with imperfection. Perhaps that's when we learn the greatest lesson.
My meditation fell far short of perfection.
It was a success.
I showed up and saw what I needed to see–I have a problem. I didn't know I had one. Now, the way to a solution is cleared.
This is a gift.
What Do We Value?
Would you pay a monthly access fee if it meant seeing no ads in your Facebook feed?
This was the question I posed recently to a Facebook group. Not immune to sales pitches, my home page was inundated with ads for stuff I really want but do not need.
Those shoes look really cute.
That's a nice comforter, how much?
Scores of people responded, all with a resounding NO!
I began to question the authenticity of my minimalist journey. How could I even entertain the idea of paying for an already free service? Doubts abounded.
Then a curious thing happened.
Someone else, with questions about minimalism, asked her fellows about paying someone to clean her home.
Almost everyone who responded said they hire someone to clean. Some had people come in several times a month, others once in a while. These were some of the same people who refused to pay a small monthly fee for social media use. Yet they were willing to pay at least four times that much to have someone clean their home.
What's going on here? Are minimalists inconsistent? Sure. We are just like everyone else. We struggle, sometimes confusing wants with needs, like with love. Are we hypocrites, giving lip service to a life with less, but not really living it? Perhaps.
These thoughts and more crossed my mind as I read through the responses to this woman's question.
Perhaps we're not asking the right questions.
Perhaps we should be asking something more fundamental–what do we value?
If that's the question, then it makes perfect sense for a minimalist to pay someone to clean their home, yet not want to shell out the bucks to skip a few ads, and vice versa.
If we value a clean home, but cannot do it, then paying someone to help clean it adds value to your life (not to mention you are helping another person make a viable living).
If we want to eliminate visual clutter and reduce the temptation to buy objects, then paying to have the ads removed can be a valuable service.
Minimalism isn't about spending less money. It's about using money as a tool to greater freedom.
PS…I found a great Firefox app for blocking Facebook ads–free!

Looked over the boat and everthing checked out ok had some dock rash on one side that could not see in the pics. Left around 11:00 and got home around 9:00. So basically a 24 hr trip, I hit rain 80 miles before home and had to put the cover on otherwise I ran naked the complete way. Thanks for all the replies and help the blue tape worked good and I am glad I posted because I would forgotten the back straps. I have so many questions I am not sure where to start so I think I will wait and post more later. I only had on mishap towing I thought I could go a little farther on my tank of gas and then realized I was in no mans land in Arkansas, I started to panic as the needle was buried and I had no gas stations in site. I finally found a small town and filled up. I had 1/2 gallon left in the tank. If I ever do this again I will take a gas can with me and place in back of truck.

ha haha ha haha...
I want to tear into Mr. Jensen's note, but I won't this time. Why? Because I respect Sarah Vap (guest editor of the Washington edition) so much as a poet. If she thinks a poem is good, I will read it. Though I'm surprised she included her own work in the issue. Editors should never include their own work in the anthology/ journal being edited.

Eduardo, really...just let the bitterness go.
I've been meaning to tell you a story about VCCA. This happened long ago, 1978 or 1979, there was a very talented poet, last name Woods
who was staying there and he went for a walk and was struck and killed by a passing car. My friend Martha Clark (poet, novelist) went to VCCA just after this tragedy. She was able to spend time there because he had won a Hopwood Award from Michigan. Woods's room was left untouched (like an altar), which haunted Martha. She wrote some amazing poems about the mystery around his accident.
It's been so many years, but Woods's poems were quite remarkable. Maybe they have some of his work in their library?
Let me know if you find anything.

i'll ask around. i'm terrible with initials. m.j. stands for??
what bitterness? to question someone's project is not bitterness. i'm not crazy about locuspoint, but i'm do admire mr. jensen for enlarging the poetry world. we don't all have to get along on the blogosphere. or agree with each other.
i'm not like you. i don't call every other poet a "genius" or every book "brilliant" on my blog. that rings false to me.
i don't blog to garner favor with other blogggers or to amass pity buys for my projects.
that said, i must admit your blog is one of my favorites. i check it out everyday. but that doesn't mean i have to agree with everything you say. or even like you. - 1/2/09 3:25 PM
- M.J. Iuppa said...
My name is M.J.Iuppa
M.J. stands for Mary Jo, but most call me M.J., my family and long time friends call me Mary. It can be very confusing when people overhear the long time friends do this in public, such as Marie Howe. But it gets sorted out.
I do want to hear more about VCCA.
I love the pictures of the horses. It's fun watching them.
I bet you're writing a lot. My friends who have gone there accomplished a lot of work and they just loved the peace and quiet. Sounds good.
M.J.Iuppa - 1/2/09 4:48 PM
Hi Collin,
I want to make it clear that some of us do post in order to garner favor with other bloggers or to amass pity buys for our projects. And I can attest that in at least two-and-one-half cases it has worked.
Steve Fellner - 1/2/09 8:02 PM
- Steven D. Schroeder said...
If you have a project talking about poetry in a single medium city, as most of the Locuspoint editions have been so far, I don't think it's even possible to avoid the editor publishing people he/she knows and likes. If not, you're either ending up with a woefully incomplete portrait or an editor who doesn't really know the scene. This isn't a typical open-submission journal situation at all.
- Eduardo C. Corral said...
wow. i think i really went too far in my response to collin. ha. i do regret saying "pity buys" because when i start hawking my own book, i am going to count on those pity buys.

Fabio Capello has had some important issues to thrash around the last few days, no question, but if we are talking about trouble-shooting football scandal management he might agree he has been operating on a rather lower rung than the Rt Rev James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool.
Not in terms of exposure, of course not, but in the meaning of what he has been doing, in the potential scale of the righting of wrongs, unquestionably.
The Bishop has agreed to head a panel that for the next year or so will pour over every piece of documentation available on the Hillsborough tragedy and the prayer must be that he has the energy and the will and the political fearlessness to do a forensic job. And that in the end he will do what has not been done by coroners, courts of law, home secretaries.
He will, we can hope, say what Lord Taylor, the only truly independent adjudicator of the disaster, said so long ago, that the police operation was an outrage along with the fact that when the lives were lost the Hillsborough stadium was not in possession of a current safety certificate.
He may also say that the time has finally come for some definitive statement on failings, individual and collective, that first allowed the tragedy to progress, then grievously impaired the effort to save lives.
It is a huge and solemn assignment and its objective is poignantly defined by Trevor Hicks, who lost his daughters, Sarah and Vicky, in the Leppings Lane crush which claimed the lives of 96 innocent people 21 years ago. "We want to hear the whole story," he said. "We're still looking for answers."
Some, with astonishing impertinence, have already suggested that Mr Hicks and his allies in the Hillsborough Family Support Group are in error, that it is long past the time when they should have drawn a line against all the pain and the grief that came with their loss. Unfortunately, they cannot. And then, when you think about it, who really could?
Who could ever forget for a single day that a loved one had died needlessly, because of gross official incompetence, and in that terrible chasm left in your life there is not available even the smallest of consolations that might have been provided by something even hinting at apology?
You cannot forget if you were simply at Hillsborough that day, untouched personally by the grim, inevitable accumulation of death but near demented by the idea that something disastrous had been put in motion and could not stop.
You cannot forget the suspicion already forming that there would indeed be a cover-up when prime minister Margaret Thatcher arrived at the stadium the following day with flowers in her hands, and, it has to be said, platitudes on her lips.
Move on, the Hillsborough families have been told so often. Yet they refuse to budge – and they should be honoured and not scorned, in some time-worn way, by those who refuse for one reason or another to recognise the scale of the injustice that will always lay like a stone on their hearts.
You may strain to make the link between Hillsborough and the John Terry affair and at one level you are right. One is about something as fundamental as the need for recognition that those entrusted with the care of people are answerable when that duty is abandoned as shockingly as it was at Hillsborough. The other is a reflection of what happens when someone as crass as Terry abuses the privileges he has gained in a society where the dividing between right and wrong is not so much a matter of debate but a source of ridicule.
In precisely a week though there has been some closure on the Terry business. He has paid a price for his misjudgements, a financial one of some weight when you measure the systematic attempt of his advisers to drag from it every commercial possibility.
Twenty one years on, there is still no hint of closure in the matter of Hillsborough. Not in the vital matter of responsibility, of any acceptance that terrible mistakes, appalling negligence, made the tragedy and that someone should be answerable.
The Terry affair offended some sensibilities. The one of Hillsborough took 96 lives and shattered what was left of many others. The testaments of those required to live out the rest of their lives under such a shadow vary only in the degree of the pain expressed and the details of their peculiar horrors.
If Terry's behaviour was some kind of commentary on contemporary values, the refusal to acknowledge significantly the cry for justice over Hillsborough remains a direct and disturbing statement about the reluctance of official bodies to acknowledge honestly their own failures.
Fabio Capello was required to deal with one example of human frailty and impose upon it a degree of logic and discipline.
The Bishop of Liverpool must seek atonement for a catastrophe in a football ground that still holds up a mirror to the way our society is run. Capello acted with commendable swiftness.
The Bishop has more time but, we have to hope, no less a sense of urgency. He will never, after all, be involved in a more important game.
Can a chastened Woods find his redemption by hitting new heights?
Rumours are beginning to build around the possibility that the exile of Tiger Woods may be drawing to a close.
Some speculation says he will be playing before the end of the month. It is a necessary move if he is to return in some kind of touch and re-orientation in time for a reappearance at the US Masters in April where he made his first, indelible statement of greatness as a 21- year-old 13 years ago.
No doubt he will run some kind of gauntlet but whatever you think of Woods' conduct there is a deep fascination in the prospect of his return. He never claimed for himself, even if his sponsors did, the status of a paragon of good behaviour but he did something that has been missed by golf hugely in his absence.
He gave us the possibility of supreme sporting achievement, as his friend Roger Federer has continued to do from the apparent deep well of his personal contentment – and apparently unbreakable decorum.
The huge question now is whether Woods can return to the astonishing single-mindedness which separated him so profoundly so often from the rest of the field. The suspicion here is that he will indeed find his own way back to the top of the game. Chastened no doubt, perhaps even the subject of the fiercest reflection he has ever mustered in a once-charmed life, Woods must know more than anyone his best route to redemption.
It is to play golf better than anyone has ever done before or is likely to again. There are worst ways of stepping back from the abyss.
Rule book threatens Wales' attacking instincts
The new Six Nations Championship provokes the usual hope for competition of colour and personality, and perhaps an outstanding performance from the likes of Ireland and France, but it is idle to pretend that it does not come without a shadow.
Ireland's former captain and hooker Keith Wood touched on it graphically while previewing the England-Wales game at Twickenham today. He said he had a little fancy for an England team which had regained some of its old strength after recoveries from injury.
Another reason was that under the existing, catastrophic laws which handed such advantages to the defending team, the encouragement for the Welsh to produce the same levels of spell-binding rugby which was so much a factor in their revival over recent years is severely limited.
If this proves so, the whole game needs to take a little time out in front of the mirror.

NIB JHH F-86 full kit with engine, fan & extras
OK, I hate to do this but my build list for my prop jobs just doesn't have enough space in it to do a blowtorch.
I'm offering up the following: 1.) Jet Hangar Hobbies F-86 full kit, including wood & full plans. 2.) Extra set of wings (foam cores) including wood to build them 3.) Full retracts (Rhomair's) including scale JHH mains and Robart P-51 oleo all tubing, valves and small air canister. 4.) Brand new, never been run, K&B 7.5CC ducted fan motor, square carb (the good one). 5.) K&B tuned pipe adapter for the 7.5CC 6.) Turbrax I fan unit for the 7.55CC K&B, brand new 7.) Just about everything needed to build the kit, hinges, two fuel tanks, control rods, connectors, wires etc. etc, with the exception of the main wheels. About all you would need to finish this kit is glue, two main wheels, your radio gear and of course, finishing materials (I'd glass the wings and tail units). What am I looking for? $1000 bucks & shipping costs (around $55, its a BIG box), this is about 500 less than you can get it from JHH today. I will also take the following in trade: 1.) Any full (not started) Meister-Scale kit of the Zero, Bf109 (102") or FW 190A. When I say full I mean plans, full wood, canopy, cowling and fibre or plastic details. Does not need to include retracts. 2.) A full PCM Yak kit with spinner 3.) Full PCM Bf 109 kit (I'll throw in $200 cash) 4.) KMP Typhoon (with retracts) 5.) A set of Sierra Precision FW 190 gear (1/4th scale) with tail retract. Must be new or very close to it and include wheels (for my Meister Scale FW 190D9 kit) 6.) A Balsa USA kit. Fokker DVII or VIII, 1/4th scale, new inbox with engine to power it. 7.) Make me an offer of something I'd build! Russian & German birds are my favourites. |

Tree.com Launches, Plans New Verticals
Today marks the first day of public trading for Tree.com the independent spin off of the LendingTree, RealEstate.com, HomeLoanCenter, GetSmart, Domania, iNest real estate and mortgage leads conglomerate from its former parent IAC. I've long been a Doug Lebda fan, and am excited about the idea that he has again hands-on responsibility here. According to today's American Banker, Lebda plans to weather tough times in the mortgage and real estate sector by expanding its student loans, auto and insurance.

The location is great! I really liked that it was so close to the subway. It's not the most luxurious place but it was definitely great for the value. I was able to walk everywhere that I needed , and it was clean enough for me to come back again. The place is super old but it wasn't nasty or anything. I'll stay here again if I'm on a budget.

Its aged proprietors and establishments apparent during my stay. However, it gives out a very rustic and traditional feeling to a Japanese Ryokan. With its basic yet complete amenities in the semi japanese/western room that I have stayed in, and the onsen and shower, completes the feeling of living the japanese life. Convenience of being right beside the Hakone Yumoto Station. Not bad but I will suggest staying elsewhere if you have more money available.

Point of Return: Where our recycling actually goes
What really does happen to our recycling after it's picked up from the curb? Much of it is shipped overseas, when it could be better used to provide jobs and source materials here at home. Using Oakland, Northern California, and the Pacific Rim as a case study, this short film is worth the eye-opening 17 minutes!
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMr0jkyv4mE
Also, if you get the chance, see Manufactured Landscapes, a film screening in theaters right now, which shows, among other things, what actually happens to the recycling (much of it hazardous e-waste) after we ship it to China. Michael and I saw it with some friends last weekend and were blown away by both the beauty and horror of the images.… Read the rest

This week I read the exciting news that artist Carrie Mae Weems won the 2016 National Artist Award from Anderson Ranch. I am such a huge fan of Carrie's work and I love when talented and inspiring artists are recognized for a lifetime of extraordinary work. If you're not familiar with Carrie's work, please click through her gallery here. Her black and white photography is so powerful and so striking — it's most definitely worth spending some time with this weekend. xo, grace

In one of my art history courses in college, our assignment was to choose a contemporary artist (photography, video, or performance) and recreate one or more of their works. This reminded me of a girl in my class who recreated three of the photos from Carrie Mae Weems' Kitchen Table Series including the one in this post. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of how great that series is!
Congrats, Carrie Mae Weems! And thanks for the heads up on the digitized Smithsonian images.

What is the "Castle Doctrine" and does it apply in Arizona?
Question: What is the "Castle Doctrine" and does it apply in Arizona?
Answer: The "Castle Doctrine" or "Defense of Habitation" laws are a legal concept that derive from English Common Law. Under this concept, one's place of residence is considered to be a place where a person is protected against illegal trespass and violent attack. In most states, it provides for the legal right to use deadly force to defend one's home and any innocent persons inside the home. It also provides that this same deadly force can be used to defend against an illegal intrusion into the home that may lead to a violent attack.
In Arizona, we do have a "Castle Doctrine". It applies to a person's residence or workplace, which may be either permanent or temporary. The doctrine would apply not only to your permanent home, but would also apply to a hotel room that you might be temporarily treating as "home". In Arizona, the doctrine extends to your vehicle as well, if an attempt is being made to remove you from your vehicle by force.
Some have referred to this doctrine as the "Make My Day Law". This reference comes from the 1983 movie "Sudden Impact" and was part of a challenge delivered to a criminal about to be apprehended by Detective Harry Callahan, a character in the movie played by Clint Eastwood.
In general, the following conditions must apply if the Castle Doctrine is to be used in claiming justifiable homicide:
- The intruder must be attempting to or have made unlawful and forcible entry into an occupied home, business or vehicle.
- The occupants must have a reasonable belief that the intruder is entering with the intention of committing a felony crime such as burglary.
- The occupants must have a reasonable belief that they are in danger of serious injury or death at the hands of the intruder.
- The occupants must be innocent of any provocation and cannot have instigated the intrusion or initiated the event by a threat of deadly force.
Some states have stronger laws supporting a Castle Doctrine, while others have weaker ones. Arizona has a strong Castle Law and follows the conditions above in applying their law. Additionally, in Arizona, a person is legally able to "stand their ground" in the face of an attack and is under no obligation to retreat prior to using deadly force in self defense.
Currently Idaho, Illinois, Montana, New York, Pennsylvania and South Dakota have weaker positions on the Castle Doctrine. A few states have no Castle Doctrine. Those states include Iowa, Nebraska, New Mexico, Virginia and Washington, DC.

i'm seeing the cardiologist tomorrow morning and hopefully can get off it quickly. Anybody know if your hair (transplanted included) grows back if I've only been on this med for 10 weeks. I would hope so but heard somewhere that even if you stop taking a beta blocker the lose is usually permanent? Doen't seem to add up to me. Anybody with experience please let me know.

Ted Cruz, the Anti-Rubio Who Is Determined to Stop Immigration Reformby David Catanese May 2, 2013 4:45 AM EDT The Texas freshman has become the face of the GOP opposition to immigration reformand that could boost the senators prospects in 2016, reports David Catanese. Three weeks after he was elected to the Senate, Ted Cruz delivered a speech in a dimly lit downtown Washington hotel ballroom addressing the thumping his party had sustained at the ballot box, particularly at the hands of Hispanic voters. The issue is not, as the media would suggest, 100 percent about immigration, the Texas senator told the banquet of conservatives, deriding the press corps obsessive focus on that issue. I think Republicans need to remain a party that supports securing the border and stopping illegal immigration, and at the same time welcomes and celebrates, champions legal immigration, he continued, to thunderclaps from the favorable audience. It aint the answer just to suddenly talk about immigration and forget everything else. Im going to suggest instead a different path. Just as the immigration debate is heating upand Cruzs own potential presidential aspirations are coming into sharp focusthe 42-year-old Cuban-American is now looking to make good on his word. No Republican senator has been a more audacious opponent of the bipartisan approach to immigration than Cruz. And being a freshman who has been a part of the seniority-driven chamber for less than four months makes the play even bolder. full article http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/02/ted-cruz-the-anti-rubio-who-is-determined-to-stop-immigration-reform.html

Cinephiles, unite! The name Andrey Zvyagintsev is relatively unknown on these shores, as his remarkable debut "The Return" quietly came and went (though it is now on Netflix Instant — GO!) and his tremendous sophomore effort "The Banishment" never saw a proper release in the West. That's all about to change with "Elena," his third and most refined piece of work, which not only saw a premiere at Cannes Film Festival but also left with the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize. Zvyagintsev's aesthetic might make him seem like Andrey Tarkovsky II, but his voice is still his own, eschewing his mentor's liberal use of magic for more grounded, realistic stories.
Set in contemporary Russia, the film follows the titular character (Nadezhda Markina) as she cares for her wealthy second husband Vladimir (Andrey Smirnov) in a gigantic penthouse apartment, in a high-class area of the country. By contrast, Elena's jobless son Sergey dwells in a lower-income section with his family, faced with the dilemma of whether to have his son Sasha join the military because they can't afford school. It's up to grandma to sort things out, but unfortunately, Vladimir refuses to cough up a single penny, citing Elena's son as lazy and irresponsible. Why should he continue to support him? He's got a point, but his wife must also think about the welfare of her blood — which leads to some drastic measures.
It's a premise ripe for a thriller, but Zvyagintsev's film is subtle, slow, and quiet, using a genre-esque story to instead explore the notion of family, and the inherent conflict between class divisions. In promotion for "Elena," we had the pleasure of chatting with the filmmaker about the changes made to the original script, his favorite directors, and his excision from the rather shoddy "New York, I Love You." "Elena" opens in New York today and you can watch the trailer here.
Once Was An Apocalypse
Originally, "Elena" was born as a US-production, focusing on characters dealing with the apocalypse. That eventually fell through and the project was relocated to Russia, with Zvyagintsev and screenwriter Oleg Negin excising any actual reference to the end of the world, but retaining the main characters and relationships. Still, there's a grim, hopeless coat that remains on the film. "When it comes to humanity, human beings, the essence of human beings, there's definitely an apocalyptic tone — reevaluating your values, your spiritual values," commenting on the build-up to Elena's ultimate decision to deal with her husband and the soul-searching she embarks upon afterwards: "Kind of an entropy, the state of entropy."
He Loves Match Point
Well, maybe. Here he runs down a list of a few filmmakers he enjoys and how he likes to see their movies: "I like to watch a story I know nothing about. I choose the director that I see. Coen Brothers, P.T. Anderson, Woody Allen. I'm not going to read about the movie or see trailers, I want to preserve the intimacy between the movie and myself." Apparently, he's as juiced for "The Master" as we all are.
The Ending (Spoilers)
Every second of "Elena" feels masterly, but not to the point of feeling too nailed down — Zvyagintsev keeps things loose by sometimes digressing from the main protagonist, the most notable detour being a tracking shot that follows Sasha as he engages in a neighborhood brawl. It's a terrific, suspenseful sequence — not to mention nerve-wracking, considering its slow build and potential consequences (Sasha, for example, has a knife). When asking about these tendencies to branch off, this writer opened up a huge can of worms — apparently the entire scene and ending were created well into production, changing the climax entirely:
"I'd say there are three layers of the story, the three generations. There's the first (Elena and her husband Vladimir), the second (Elena's son Sergey and Vladimir's daughter Katya), and the last generation being Sasha, the grandson, and his friends. The third generation was lacking the depth that the others had, so that's where this idea came from," the filmmaker explained. "This and the next episode when Elena and her family move into Vladimir's apartment was all new, written almost near the end of production. We found that location Sasha goes to, with the apple garden, the industrial pipes, the uncultured piece of land next to the building… it became clear that they had to go in and something had to happen. That's where I got the idea that there would be a fight. It predicts the possible future of this kid and reflects what he's all about, what he lives by, what's on his mind." Considering Elena committed a pretty heinous act to get this boy into school, his future doesn't look so promising. In a way, the director considers this her punishment — she gets her way, but will things really play out in her favor?
But what was the original ending? Apparently, it was to end right before we follow Sasha to the rumble, while everyone is still in Sergey's apartment and dealing with a brief blackout. "Initially the movie was supposed to finish in the hallway when the lights were off. One of the characters is outside checking the fuses, the light goes back on, and that would be the end. I don't know if you have this in America, but in Russia, the fuse boxes have discs that tell you how much electricity the apartments on the floor are using," he described. "So the last shot would be that disc that keeps rotating, accumulating the electricity, and the camera would slowly zoom in on that disc… that was to be the end." Quite a powerful closing image, and given the filmmaker's interest in sound design, we're sure he could somehow make an electricity monitor seem unnerving. That said, the finale that he came up with last minute is just as powerful, and provides enough closure to be satisfying in a way that the original wouldn't have been.
Exiled From "New York, I Love You"
We generally operate with caution in regards to the recent onslaught of omnibus films — more often than not, they're wildly uneven by nature, with gems few and far between. However, interest piqued when a filmmaker as interesting as Zvyagintsev was set to contribute to "New York, I Love You" — but then our curiosity was immediately squashed when it was announced that both his and Scarlett Johansson's contributions would be cut from the feature. Their reasoning? His effort "Apocrypha" was too art-house… but our question is, what did they really expect from him? "I was disappointed that it was cut, but when I saw the movie I realized that it just didn't match. Organically, it just didn't belong. It was a decision of a focus group but it made sense," he stated, showing no bad blood. He did, however, have a few criticisms of his own, but was very careful not to come off as bitter or mean-spirited: "The shorts had different directors and cinematographers, and I don't want to offend anybody, but I had the impression that all of the cinematographers were the same for every short. They all looked and felt similar. The camera moves around, it's dynamic, but in our episode, everything was very static, observing." He throws up his arms, though, again recognizing that his film short stuck out like a sore thumb: "The movie was meant for entertainment, but my episode wasn't entertaining, at least not in a traditional sense."
What's Next?
Details are slim, but the smallest progression towards a new film is something worth noting. "Yesterday I had an important meeting with my producer Alexander Rodnyansky and we decided to embark on a new project. We didn't start working on it yet, but a decision has been made. It would be very modern and take place in Russia." When pressed for more, the director remained cagey, but did let some more slip. "It's inspired by a story that happened here in America. We're translating it into our Russia reality, to a small provincial town and will try to act it out." Casey Anthony? Linsanity? Only time will tell.

- //Crocodiles
I bet Crocodiles wish their buddies No Age never mentioned their name in a Stereogum piece about the best songs of 2008. The drone-punk two-piece christened the Crocodiles song "Neon Jesus" as their personal fave and instantly, albeit temporarily, catapulted the group into this exalted status of the next band to watch. And all this happened before the release of their debut, Summer of Hate, in April when the backlash machine was already in full-swing.
The usual suspects have lambasted the band for sounding like Jesus and Mary Chain, but even the New York Times weighed in wondering whether the trajectory of the band's career might dissolve like the feedback loops on the album's track "Flash of Light".
So where does this leave Crocodiles, a band who wasn't even given a chance due to this new phenomenon of constantly searching for something both 'cool' and 'new'. In the same way that Craigslist killer can't get a fair trail, Crocodiles can't possibly be judged only on their merits. No matter that the album reels you in with its fuzzy hooks, the die has already been cast for them. Maybe the guys can recast themselves as the Marmosets, turn their distortion down a bit, and play music closely resembling the Troggs. This will please everyone in the insulated bubble of the critic/blog world, giving the lads another shot at stardom. Who knows, the Marmosets could be huge in 2012.

I keep seeing varied opinions on the merits, or lack thereof, for the urethane or rubber tires for bandsaws. -- firstname.lastname@example.com |

#1 posted 06-05-2012 08:53 PM |
My experience with urethane was that they could be worth it, depending on your saw. When I put on the urethane tires, they were thinner than the OEM rubber ones and my saw no longer had the vertical travel necessary to properly tension the blade. Having already purchased and installed them, I shimmed up the upper arm of the saw about a half inch so that I could get the right tension. If I could go back and do it all over again, I would likely go rubber. -- Brian T. - Exact science is not an exact science |

All I have used is rubber. They are easy to crown. That's why I use them. -- Bob www.bobkloes.com |
#3 posted 06-08-2012 06:08 PM |
When you compare rubber tires to urethane ones, I would say urethane tires stand out. Urethane tires are made of flexible urethane instead of the usual rubber; they stay flexible longer to increase the performance of your blade and; since you don't need to glue them to the wheel, installing and replacing is much easier, too. Urethane tires may cost more than rubber tires but it's worth the price. But don't worry, some websites offer great discount on tires and some band saw parts (like this website) – www.bandsawparts.com |
#4 posted 06-08-2012 06:22 PM |
I agree with Heisbert. Been using the tires for a little over a year. They were a bit painful to install, and it would have been easier with another hand, but the benefit was worth the effort. I do some re-sawing using a 3/4 blade and have chewed through a few rubber tires, the urethane tires a holding well with no noticeable ware. -- Nicky |

I have two bandsaws, one with urethane, one with rubber. They are both 3/4HP, 6" cut height, one is a Reliant, one is a Porter Cable, so neither is a high quality brand. They are almost identical units, save the Reliant with rubber is 11 years old, been moved three times, and sat for two years in an unheated garage while I was in China. They both have been equipped with bearing guides on top, both have cool blocks on the bottom. Tables are about identical. Both are two speed. The newer unit with the urethane tires, I initially liked it a lot – quieter, seemed to track better, and the blade seemed to "stick" to the track better on the urethane. Urethane on this unit came pre-crowned. This saw also tracks vertical very well. -- Paul, Tennessee, http://www.tsunamiguitars.com |

Don't rubber tires have to be glued to the wheels, and urethane tires sit in a groove without glue? The rubber tires on mine gave out within a year. I switched to urethane and they are still good after 5 years. |

MrRon: Rubber does not have to be glued to the wheels if it is a snug fit. I used to make my own bandsaw tyres out of high density rubber matting and rubber cement. I never glued any of them. |

Opinions about rubber vs. urethane is akin to opinions about Chevy vs. Ford! I'm running urethane on my Delta and have not had a single problem with them. They replaced some rubber tires that were dried up and cracking. However, I purchased the machine with those rubber tires already on it, so I have no idea how old or how much abuse they were subjected to.

Some may like to use urethane over rubber or the other way around, but I would prefer to use urethane tires on my machine's wheel. For now though, I am using rubber tires because these are original ones installed when I bought this. I am planning to buy new urethane tires at www.bandsawparts.com (the least expensive dealer of after market band saw parts I have found as for now). I am just new to using a band saw so I'm not quite as familiar with all of the machine yet. I think a manual would be useful too! Who knows where to find different band saw manuals? -- "someone has to be wounded for others to be saved, someone has to sacrifice for others to feel happiness, someone has to die so others could live" |
#11 posted 06-13-2012 10:11 PM |
One thing to make not of is many saws are designed in a way that make urethane tires a non-starter. If you have an older saw or an European saw with flat wheels you will need to use rubber or EPDM tires designed for the saw. The place you have a choice is the modern Asian machines along with most of the Delta 14" cast saws and their clones which have crowned wheels that require a thin tire to conform to the crown, these tires do not need to be crowned themselves. For bandsaws where you have a choice the benefit of urethane is longer life and the lower chance of them developing a flat spot. On these bandsaws I generally use urethane since they are easy to source and are usually cheaper than OEM rubber. Regarding gluing some rubber tires are not designed to be glued like T-track or safety tires used for example on the older 20" Delta and Rockwell saw and some Italian saws like Mini-Max and others. On smaller slower bandsaws you can often avoid gluing rubber tires but it is good form, larger saws with high SFPM rates one has no choice but to glue, try not gluing a 7,000+ spfm bandsaws tires and see how long they stay on… |
#12 posted 06-13-2012 10:30 PM |
Both rubber and urethane bandsaw tires will do the job. I have 2 bandsaws and have rubber on one and urethane on the other. Urethane will definitely hold up under more usage than the rubber and urethane does not seem to develop "memory" (depressions, grooves, or flat spots) unlike rubber. Thus, the bandsaw I use the most has urethane tires and rubber on the one I use infrequently. Further, I (almost) always release the tension on both types of tires. -- Make more wood shavings and less dust! Steve, Cary, NC |
#13 posted 06-13-2012 11:31 PM |
GENERALLY speaking, it is recommended that urethane tires not be glued .. rubber tires should be. The rubber tires, on most 14" Delta clone units can sometimes buckle & bulge wherever they are unsupported by the bands due partly to their increased mass. Centrifugal force causes them to fly open, and sometimes they don't fall back exactly where they should, so you can throw a band .. open up the saw .. inspect, finding nothing wrong .. over .. and over .. and over .. so I've been told. -- - dabbling in sarcasm is foolish … if you're not proficient at it, you end up looking stupid … ... ... |
#14 posted 06-14-2012 02:23 PM |
The use of urethane tires over rubber tires is highly recommended. That is because a urethane tire is an improved version of the usual rubber tire that we have. So, urethane tires are expected to yield better results and performance. We, machine users, should be thankful to those who are behind these successful innovation. |

This case study instantiates longitudinal change over a two year period by examining the role of School Situated Sustained Professional Development (SSSPD) on the evolution of the participant's practice. The participant was a secondary science teacher who emerged as an exemplar in integrating Technology Enhanced Formative Assessment (TEFA) pedagogy into her practice, which was facilitated by personal response systems (PRS). The research question was: What could be revealed about the impact of SSSPD by studying teacher learning of a teacher who emerged as an exemplar? The participant was one of ten teachers learning the TEFA pedagogy. Professional development (PD) that facilitates change in teachers' practice and that sustains those changes over time is critical. Findings were triangulated from seven quantitative and qualitative data sets including monthly surveys, lesson observations, journal entries, interviews and action research sessions. The major findings of the study were: (1) implementing TEFA led to changes in the participant's practice, and (2) the SSSPD model was instrumental in the participant learning how to implement TEFA. Findings also revealed changes in the participant's beliefs, teaching strategies and in her modification of TEFA. Eight elements of teacher change were identified which were used to develop the Elements of Teacher Change in Adoption of Pedagogy (ETCAP) model. Gaining a better understanding of the SSSPD model and its potential as an effective model for PD is dependent on proving its effectiveness in promoting teacher change and sustaining that change over time.

Summary and Analysis Part 2: Act IV: Mountain Foothills Bookmark this page Manage My Reading List Summary The Emperor and his officers are in their headquarters discussing their dangerous position. Just as the Emperor turns the command of the army over to a more competent aide, Faust enters the royal tent and offers his assistance. He promises to help win the battle with the aid of his friends. The offer is accepted, the battle is fought, and the Emperor's forces are victorious. Mephisto and his magic play an important part in winning the victory. Analysis Faust's wise assignments during the battle of the Three Mighty Men, who represent Youth, Maturity, and Old Age, shows that all human talents are useful if well organized. The victory is won with the aid of Mephisto's magic, by virtue of which Nature is made to fight alongside the Emperor's army. This symbolizes Goethe's belief in the natural vitality of the Germanic peoples, and again asserts the beneficial uses to which destructive or neutral forces can be put by wise and systematic planning.

With increasing children at this Centre, it has taken the committee and management a lot of wisdom of counseling, We have hard some children stealing other children's books and pencils and running back to dumpsite in order to sell them, but the management has managed to bring them back to School. With combination of loving teachers, spiritual nourishment and our feeding program, the Centre has managed to maintain the 360 children.
We thank our donors who has helped so much in bringing us this far since the beginning of this year! The Centre has managed to integrate with a LOCAL CLINIC and has deposited a small percentage for supply of ARV medicine, which is very essential to these kids. Because without the daily ARVs, the children can not be healthy. We have managed to buy a few bags of dry maize and beans for their lunch and a few children have bought their school uniforms. THANK YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS for your very kind donation towards these poor children, who, some of them do not know their parents. Again, thank you!
With escalation of prices in this country, the poor will remain poor and we do not see any way food, clothes and other commodities coming down in future. We have approached our local donors and what they would provide are promises, but we believe that one day this country will change and prices of commodities will improve and the unable people will have good purchasing power. We have many kids who are wishing to have school uniforms, shoes and books and we are believing in God that all these children will have School uniforms.
We thank God also to have been visited by the management of Global Giving. In April this year, we were fortunate to have been visited by Mr. Marc Maxson of Global Giving who inspired most of our children and teachers and on 31st May 2010, we were lucky to have been visited by Mr. John Hecklinger, Chief Programe Officer of Global Giving. For sure this has been an encouragement to have seen the two officers from Global Giving! They have seen what it is at this Centre, the need and desire of these poor kids stared at them. When these kids were told that so and so's uniforms were brought through donations that come through Marc and John of Global Giving, they prayed and danced. They have composed a song on donors and and officers of Global Giving. Through YOU, every donation towards this School has made an impact and will continue making! Thank you brothers and sisters, these kids needs you in order for them to grow and live. Please continue supporting them and in turn, God, who sees what you are doing, will bless the works of your hands.
