The City Council's Committee on Governmental Operations, which has oversight of the CFB, is set to hear a bill on April 27 that would raise the cap on matching funds from 55 percent of the spending cap to a full match of the cap. The bill is sponsored by the committee's chair, Council Member Ben Kallos, who is a participant in the public funds program and has spearheaded campaign finance reform in the Council. Kallos had reservations about some of the bills that were expedited through the Council late last year and believes his bill will significantly shift the election landscape.
"I was concerned with recent amendments and their impact on the campaign finance system," he said, "and as we get closer to the June deadline for opting in or out of the system, we will learn just what impact that legislation had and whether it improves participation in the system or actually discourages it. And whatever the results, I hope to create new incentives for people to participate." The CFB is reviewing Kallos' proposal and will testify at the hearing.

His request comes after US intelligence and law enforcement agencies released a January report in the final days of the Obama administration that found the Russian government employed cyberattacks to undermine Hillary Clinton and boost Donald Trump.
Considering the request for additional funding, Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan), the committee chair, asked Ryan why he isn't taking up de Blasio on an offer for an extra $20 million provided the agency agrees to a series of reforms, including establishing a blue-ribbon panel to identify failures.
Ryan cited "philosophical" differences with the administration for not taking the money.
Press Coverage
Tuesday, March 14, 2017
Council Member Ben Kallos, chair of the governmental operations committee, addressed the budget disparity, although he did not make it a focus of the hearing.
Kallos pointed out that the notoriously dysfunctional BOE has proposed its largest budget increase in years, and also has not proposed any savings, referencing the mayor's preliminary budget promise to identify $500 million in additional agency savings in time for the executive budget. "The cost increase you're proposing is actually more than 10 percent of the existing savings that the mayor's asking for," Kallos said.
Ryan pointed out that the BOE is not beholden to the city. "Unlike some other agencies, the Board is an independent board and while we are certainly sensitive to requests, wherever they may come from...we do operate a bit differently from some of the other agencies," Ryan said.

Legislation Targeting Hidden Money in City Elections Passes Committee on Governmental Operations Vote Chaired by CM Kallos
Wednesday, December 14, 2016
New York, NY – New York City's landmark small-dollar matching campaign finance system may soon be protected from an onslaught of dark money and special interests in City elections. Today the Committee on Governmental Operations chaired by Council Member Ben Kallos passed a package of legislation that expands the "doing business" definitions to include owners of companies that own companies and no longer matching funds they bundle as well as providing early determinations and payments of public funds". This package was first introduced in late 2015 by Governmental Operations Committee Chair Ben Kallos along with Council Members Jumaane Williams, Andy King, and Fernando Cabrera. This committee vote sends the legislation to the full council where it is expected to pass.

Thursday, December 8, 2016
New York City Council Member Ben Kallos, chair of the governmental operations committee, is an avid social media user who often solicits questions through Twitter during committee hearings. He's well aware of the intersection of technology and governance and the issues that can arise with an elected representative's use of social media. "Its pretty confusing to the public because they don't know who to tweet sometimes," he said of his own experience with separate accounts for official and campaign purposes. "So I have to spend double duty making sure I'm managing both, paying attention to both and ensuring that whether a constituent tweets my campaign or government [account], they get the services they need."
He said officials should generally ensure that the distinctions between accounts are clear and they "respond from the right places and retweet from the right places."
"It can be a little bit of a minefield," Kallos said, "but you just have to be extra cautious."

DNAinfo.com Hourslong Waits During Election Spark Push For More Polling Sites on UES by Shaye Weaver
Thursday, November 17, 2016
UPPER EAST SIDE — A "broken" voting system is to blame for the hourslong waits endured by voters during the election this year, say local elected officials who are calling for an overhaul including more polling sites and the option to mail in ballots.
Lines to vote in the next election could be shortened by opening new polling sites to spread out the crowds, Councilman Ben Kallos said.
"If you are part of a church, a synagogue, a nonprofit center, you could be incredibly helpful. If you're from a school and not a poll site let us know," he told residents during a Community Board 8 meeting Wednesday.
"We need to expand the number of poll sites. We can even put one in your lobby, as long as it is ADA accessible," he said.

Gotham Gazette Taking Up Voting Reform, De Blasio Cites Sanders Campaign as Motivation by Samar Khurshid
City Council Member Ben Kallos, who chairs the committee on governmental operations, said in a phone interview that "All of these [reforms] should've happened before Election Day and if there's an Albany special session it should be part of that agenda. The voters shouldn't let their elected officials go back to Albany without getting this done."
The City Council has consistently advocated for voting and election reform in its annual state legislative agenda, including early voting, instant runoff voting for citywide primaries, and public campaign financing at the state level. De Blasio has said he has concerns about instant runoff voting but hasn't taken a full position. The mayor has consistently called for campaign finance reform, calling the city's public matching system a gold standard that the state should follow. Cuomo has professed support for such a system but has not gotten one passed and enacted.
Kallos says he recognizes that the mayor hasn't been able to prioritize election reform over other items on his agenda. "I think that we needed attention to this in 2014," he said. "The mayor and I were able to advocate together for universal pre-kindergarten but election reforms weren't on that list…I think that when we have so few people engaged in voting and such low turnout, people need to put good government on the same plane as things like universal pre-kindergarten."
He emphasized that elected officials should look beyond their own self-interest and vote for election and voting reform, and that voters need to speak up. "Anyone who waited in line, anyone who had trouble voting, needs to make their voices heard to their elected officials," Kallos said, "and Albany needs to finally make these changes even if it isn't in the interest of incumbents…Ultimately in 2017, we will have a vote on the Constitutional Convention, and if Albany won't act then the electors might."

Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan), chairman of the Committee on Governmental Operations, echoed the importance of homeless people being ensured their vote is counted.
"We must ensure that everyone who can vote is voting no matter their housing status," he said.
Kallos and Wills also worked together on a law that allows those being detained in city jails to vote.
"And with so many people awaiting trial with an overwhelming majority of men of color who shouldn't be in our system, they need to be protected and they need their rights protected," Kallos said at the press conference.
Although at the time of the press conference it was too late to register to vote, Matt Borden, of the DHS, wanted to ensure that those who are eligible to cast ballots would be told how to do so.

"I am deeply concerned about whether a patronage-run Board of Elections can run an election properly," Councilman Ben Kallos (D-Manhattan) said on Monday.
Kallos, who chairs the council's Government Operations Committee, added that he left an oversight hearing last month still believing voters are in for long lines and snafus, despite recent efforts to increase the number of poll workers to 36,000 and boost voting technology at the 1,205 poll sites.
Michael Ryan, the agency's executive director, brushed the criticism aside, telling The Post he and his staff are more than ready for the big day.

Gothamist Election Day In NYC Plagued With Long Lines, Broken Scanners, Misinformed Poll Workers by Nathan Tempey
Wednesday, November 9, 2016
A 2014 report by the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, formed following problems with the 2012 presidential election, concluded that "no voter should have to wait more than half an hour," and that where that happens, "corrective measures should be deployed." And as research cited by the New York Times today found:
Early voters, urban voters and minority voters are all more likely to wait and wait and wait. In predominantly minority communities, the lines are about twice as long as in predominantly white ones[...]And minority voters are six times as likely as whites to wait longer than an hour to vote.
Citing the presidential commission's report, Manhattan Councilman Ben Kallos, chairman of the Council Committee on Governmental Operations, wrote, "At poll sites across the city, New Yorkers are reporting long lines. The consolidation of poll sites crammed too many election districts into mega-poll sites and left New Yorkers waiting on mega-lines. For safety, the fire code limits how many people can occupy a space and the number of voters at certain poll sites is dangerously close to those limits. We need additional, wheelchair-accessible poll sites to reduce lines and ensure a safe voting experience."
Perhaps even more troubling than technical and logistical malfunctions is poll worker misdirection, based on false understandings of law and procedure. At PS 142 in Carroll Gardens, reader Nicole Yoblick wrote:
The people working at my booth giving out forms were instructing us that we have to vote ALL democratic or ALL republican, that we could not pick and choose or the machines would reject the form when scanned. They said it had happened multiple times already...So we would not be allowed to vote for a democratic president and a republican senator. This is wrong!"

Even before dawn broke in New York City on Tuesday, the lines of voters stretched down the block.
With reports of high voter turnout, some voters in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens said they waited hours to cast their ballots. Officials reported broken scanner machines and confusion at some polling sites.
"There were massive, massive lines and fire-code issues because so many people couldn't get inside," said Councilman Ben Kallos, a Manhattan Democrat, referring to a polling site on the Upper East Side.
Still, early indications showed that the city's Board of Elections had fewer problems Tuesday, compared with the presidential primaries in April.

New York Times 'I Feel Very Happy to Be a Part of This': New Yorkers Flock to the Polls by J. David Goodman
Wednesday, November 9, 2016
The number of polling places in New York City has declined in recent years, with the 1,205 operating this year about the same as in 2012 but down from 1,349 in 2008, when President Obama was elected to his first term. Many polling places were consolidated to comply with federal regulations related to people with disabilities, said Councilman Ben Kallos, an Upper East Side Democrat who leads the governmental operations committee.
Over the same period, the number of active registered voters has increased to 4.5 million from 4.1 million.

Council Member Ben Kallos Statement on Long Lines in the Upper East Side
At poll sites across the city, New Yorkers are reporting long lines. The consolidation of poll sites crammed too many election districts into mega-poll sites and left New Yorkers waiting on mega-lines. For safety, the fire code limits how many people can occupy a space and the number of voters at certain poll sites is dangerously close to those limits. We need additional, wheelchair-accessible poll sites to reduce lines and ensure a safe voting experience.One public school in my district, P.S. 290, has had sustained lines wrapping around two corners starting at 2nd Avenue stretching to 1st Avenue then from 82nd to 83rd Streets then looping back to 2nd Avenue.
The 2014 Report and Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration states that "No citizen should have to wait more than 30 minutes to vote...Any wait time that exceeds this half-hour standard is an indication that something is amiss and that corrective measures should be deployed."

November 4, 2016 – Jamaica, NY – One week removed from enacting voting rights legislation for the incarcerated, Council Members Ruben Wills (D-South Jamaica) and Ben Kallos of Manhattan joined the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) to announce a joint effort with the Board of Elections (BOE) to ensure the City's voter registered homeless are fully aware of where they must go on Election Day to cast their ballot.
Federal law guarantees homeless citizens the right to vote in an election, so long as the person is a U.S. citizen, 18 years of age by December 31st of the year in which he or she registers to vote, is 18 years old by the date of the primary, general or other election; lives at their present address at least 30 days before an election, not be in jail or on parole for a felony conviction, not claim the right to vote elsewhere, and be registered to vote.
Presently, the City's 311 information system tasked with providing the accurate poll site location isn't being utilized by every individual who doesn't live in a permanent residence.
Those who can log onto the Internet may visit the online NYC Poll Site Locator Web App to obtain that information, but a digital divide limits access for many. Voters displaced from their homes and living in temporary shelter can cast affidavit ballots from the designated poll site near their residence, and any homeless individual living on the street can simply contact 311 with the name of the street corner nearest their location in order to have a poll site assigned to him or her. The BOE recommends voters go to their designated poll site during its non-peak hours, typically between 9:30 AM and 4:30 AM, and request the assistance of a trained BOE poll-worker to help them prepare the affidavit ballot and oath.

"The presidential elections have made it hard for me to sleep," says Council member Ben Kallos who is deeply disturbed by the national discourse.
"It is hard for me to believe that so many people in a country that I love are responding to some of this speech," he said, referring to the hateful speech and incitement on the part of Donald Trump.
"My grandparents came to this country as immigrants… my wife is an immigrant. This is a nation of immigrants and the rhetoric around immigration is of huge concern to me." He is concerned that "[a Trump presidency] would be a problem for Roosevelt Island which has one of the larger immigrant populations in my district, let alone the city."
We sat down with the Councilmember to get his take on a variety of issues concerning the Island.

Councilman Ben Kallos, a Manhattan Democrat, and others have said the board should be nonpartisan. Political parties hold too much sway in the appointments, he said.
"At the end of the day when you have an institution run by patronage, where people are there because of who they know and not what they know, I will never be confident that they will be able to run a smooth election," said Mr. Kallos, who leads a council committee that has oversight of the board.

Council Member Ben Kallos, chair of the committee, posed questions aimed at debunking Schulkin's claims about voter identification requirements. Ryan, in response, reiterated that New York State does not require any identification for voting, only a signature. Only in rare instances, first-time voters may be required to produce identification if their voter registration is incomplete.
When Kallos asked if Schulkin's claims about voters being bussed to multiple polling sites held any water, Ryan said, "Those issues have never come to my attention, not during my time as a commissioner going back to 2010 or in the three-plus years that I've been the executive director." The state attorney general's office also told Gotham Gazette earlier this month that the AG's office has not received complaints of widespread voter impersonation fraud that Schulkin mentioned.

Since the presidential primaries, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has opened an investigation into the BOE and New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer has launched an audit into the agency's operations and management, callingthe BOE "consistently disorganized, chaotic, and ineffective." City Council Member Ben Kallos, chair of the Council's government operations committee, has promised to hold an oversight hearing on the BOE, though he also grilled BOE officials at the agency's executive budget hearing May 13.
"Hope springs eternal," Kallos replied dryly when asked if he believed the heightened scrutiny the BOE is currently facing would help to bring about any changes to the way the agency operates. "I hope that by bringing the commissioners to the City Council to be held personally accountable, we may get the change we are seeking," Kallos said.
Press Coverage
Friday, May 13, 2016
"I'm concerned that the Board of Elections is underfunded and setting up the democratic process for failure," Kallos told Gotham Gazette. At Friday's hearing, he will press the BOE for more details on "whether they have enough money to run an election, whether they have enough to hire poll workers, to advertise, and to do an audit of why 90,000 affidavit ballots were rejected in the primary."
One of the major changes Kallos is pushing for is the elimination of patronage positions. The BOE has a bipartisan structure and its commissioners and employees are selected based on their affiliation with the two major political parties on a borough by borough basis. Kallos takes issue with this and said BOE funding should come with "terms and conditions" such as the hiring of professional employees through an open hiring process to replace patronage positions, and required audits of "who's doing what and where."
Referring to the mayor's offer of extra funding, Kallos said, "I think the BOE needs to do everything they can to improve their image and to assist voters. They need to accept all the help that's offered." He also rejected the administration's rationale that the BOE budget is lower this year because of fewer elections. "The general election is the superbowl of elections," he said, referring to November.

The City Board of Elections and State Board of Elections did not respond to requests for comment.
Mayor Bill DeBlasio recently offered the NYC BOE $20 million in exchange for implementing needed reforms — an offer that, according to City Council member Ben Kallos, the BOE has rejected. Kallos said in a statement last week that the Council had passed legislation for a voter information portal and called on Albany to permit same day and online registration.

Speaker reprimands PNC/R M.P for inaccurate statement on Treasury Memorandum
PNC/R MP Volda Lawrence
Speaker of the National Assembly, Ralph Ramkarran has advised Members of Parliament (MPs) to consult with the Clerk, Sherlock Isaacs, or the Parliament Office before making public assertions or accusations.
This statement came subsequent to the publication of an article in the Kaieteur News in which People's National Congress Reform (PNCR) MP and Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee, Volda Lawrence, purported that the delay in issuing of the most recent Treasury Memorandum is an indication of the contemptuous nature of the Finance Minister, Dr. Ashni Singh. The Speaker said that Lawrence is not accurate and that the Treasury Memorandum was lodged with the Clerk of the National Assembly on June 14. However, due to the fact that yesterday's sitting was the first since that date, it could not have been laid at an earlier date.
A report on the Public Accounts Committee for the period 2004-2005 was adopted in Parliament in March.
The Committee comprises members of both sides of the House working together with one objective, which is to ensure that the funds and properties of the State are properly accounted for.

Even though they are suppose to be working together for the above mentioned objective, these PNC/R crooks are still trying for various means and ways to cause strife ("ca duz all deh fit fuh") ...I think she should have been fined for her inaccurate speculations to such a magnitude with that much public exposure. I think it is necessary for one to do adequate research and extensive collection of evidences before presenting any sort of information in these kinds of settings (Parliament, etc) and especially delicate matters as such.ReplyDelete

Implementing School-wide Positive Behavior Support Rob Horner, George Sugai and Anne Todd University of Oregon Center on Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports www.pbis.org
Goals Define steps for SWPBS implementation Clarify major barriers Provide planning and evaluation tools Implementation Schedules ◦ Team ◦ Coaches Training
Major Dangers: Things to Avoid Begin implementation without staff commitment Begin implementation without resources. Implement without a coach. Rely on coach or lead person to "do it all" Implement insufficient elements, and obtain no effect. ◦ E.g. Failure to teach behavioral expectations Implement so slowly that commitment is lost. Implementation without on-going evaluation. Focus first on extent to which elements are implemented Focus second on impact on students
Six Steps to Implementing School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (Use the Team Implementation Checklist) 1. Establish Commitment 2. Establish Team 3. Self-Assessment 4. Establish School-wide Discipline System 5. Establish Information System for Decision- making 6. Establish systems for Function-based behavior support for students with intense needs
Step 1. Establish Commitment Establish Commitment ◦ Administrator supports PBS effort Personal commitment (public endorsement of social culture needs) Attend training with team Attend team meetings at school Commit resources for team training and student training ◦ Behavior support is one of top 3 goals for school ◦ 80% of faculty support effort ◦ Commitment to at least three years of effort ◦ Actions: Self-assessment survey with team Faculty presentation and vote Written School Improvement Plan Goals
Establish Commitment for Need then Action. Focus first on student behavior. "Are we satisfied with the behavior of students in our school?" Summarize and share student behavior data ODR/100 students Focus on evidence-based practices "Are we doing what research indicates is most helpful and effective for improving student behavior?" Collect staff self-assessment (team checklist, EBS Survey) Build priorities "Is development of a positive social culture one of the top three priorities of our school?" Do not expect student behavior to change if adult behavior does not change. Context matters.
Build commitment by emphasizing efficiency Don't add new initiatives without identifying what you will stop doing. ◦ Use faculty time strategically Focus the energy of your faculty ◦ No more than three major goals ◦ Do the job well Two mantras ◦ Never stop doing things that work ◦ Always look for the smallest change that will have the largest impact. Don't do everything you can think of
Action Time: 10 Minutes Building Commitment Review the ODR data patterns. Do the data indicate (a) intervention is needed? (b) celebration is in order? Review the EBS Survey results from different schools. Identify how faculty feedback can be used to guide development of "commitment." How would your faculty score the EBS Survey? 3-A Data 3-B Data 3-C EBS Survey 3-D EBS Survey data Also at pbssurveys.org
Step 2: Establish and Maintain Team A team has a mission to improve behavior support systems.(common vision, language, experience) The team is representative and includes an administrator The team has access to a district/or local coach The team has a scheduled meeting time Every week, every other week? The team has efficient internal processes Team has culture of care Action: Audit of committees/initiatives… Access to coach
Initiative, Project, Committee PurposeOutcomeTarget Group Staff Involved SIP/SID/ etc Attendance Committee Character Education Safety Committee School Spirit Committee Discipline Committee DARE Committee EBS Work Group Working Smarter 1.Eliminate all initiatives that do NOT have a defined purpose and outcome measure. 2. Combine initiatives that have the same outcome measure and same target group 3. Combine initiatives that have 75% of the same staff 4. Eliminate initiatives that are not tied to School Improvement Goals.
Action Time: 7 Minutes Review the Sample Team Matrix. Identify at least two recommendations you would have for improving the efficiency of staff time in this school. Given the guidelines for team organization identify (a) the teams in your school, and (b) the extent to which you believe your school uses faculty/staff time efficiently.
Initiative, Committee PurposeOutcomeTarget Group Staff Involved SIP/SID/ etc Attendance Committee Increase attendance % of students attending All students Eric, Ellen, Marlee Goal #2 Character Education Improve character Student behavior? All students Marlee, J.S., Ellen ?? Safety Committee Improve safety All students Has not met?? School Spirit Committee School spiritAll students Has not met Discipline Committee Improve behavior Improve discipline All students Ellen, Eric, Marlee, Otis Goal #3 DARE Committee Decrease drug use All students Don?? EBS Work Group Implement 3-tier model Office referrals, Attendance, Grades All students Eric, Ellen, Marlee, Otis, Emma Goal #2 Goal #3 Sample Team Matrix
Step 3. Self-Assessment of Behavior Support Needs Focus behavior support efforts ◦ Retain strategies that are working ◦ Only adopt procedures that address needed outcomes ◦ Work on achievable goals (one system at a time) ◦ Work from an action plan with clear outcomes. Actions: ◦ EBS Self-assessment (with team, with faculty) ◦ Build Action Plan using Team Checklist/EBS Survey
4. Establish School-wide Discipline System Define School-wide Behavioral Expectations Teach School-wide Behavioral Expectation Monitor and Acknowledge Appropriate Behavior Use a Continuum of Consequences for Inappropriate Behavior Actions: Develop Teaching Matrix with faculty Build Teaching Plans for school-wide expectations Clarify responses to problem behavior
4a. Defining and Teaching School- wide Behavioral Expectations Define 3-5, positively stated, memorable expectations. Build Curriculum Matrix (Expectations X Locations) Build Teaching Plans ◦ Teaching individual Expectations across locations ◦ Teaching all Expectations within a location
4b. Build Reward Systems Systems for Acknowledging Appropriate Behavior. ◦ Students should be acknowledged regularly (at least every 2 weeks) ◦ 5 to 1 ratio of positive to negative ◦ Always build toward independence move from "other" delivered to self-delivered move from frequent reward to infrequent move from concrete to natural ◦ Build on person-to-person relationships
Are Rewards Dangerous? "…our research team has conducted a series of reviews and analysis of (the reward) literature; our conclusion is that there is no inherent negative property of reward. Our analyses indicate that the argument against the use of rewards is an overgeneralization based on a narrow set of circumstances." Judy Cameron, 2002 ◦ Cameron, 2002 ◦ Cameron & Pierce, 1994, 2002 ◦ Cameron, Banko & Pierce, 2001
Action Time: 5 Minutes Define a desired behavior and current consequences in your school. Context and Desired Behavior Natural RewardSupplemental Educational Reward In class/ Be respectful of others by raising hand Class operates efficiently. Self-perception of being respectful. Verbal "thank you." Individual points toward class event.
4c. Building Consequence Systems Systems for monitoring, interrupting and discouraging inappropriate behavior. ◦ Consistency across staff and administration ◦ Predictability but not rigidity ◦ Clarity about what is handled in class vs office ◦ Establish efficient record keeping system to allow rapid response to behavioral error patterns. (office referral form… clearly defined problem behavior categories)
4d. Institutional Memory Handbook of teaching plans Agenda for children Minutes from team meetings Action: ◦ Develop and maintain school-wide handbook
5. Establish Efficient and Valid Information System Use Information for Problem Solving ◦ Gather information ◦ Summarize information ◦ Report information to the right people at the right times ◦ Use the information to make decisions ◦ Report to faculty, board, community ◦ www.swis.org
Data need not be a four-letter word Using data for decision-making versus evaluation Decision-cycles ◦ Weekly ◦ Monthly ◦ Annual Plan Perform Measure Compare
Action Time: 5 Minutes What data sources do you and your team use for regular decision making? DecisionsData Sources Who?
6. Build capacity for Function-based Behavior Support Build capacity for function-based behavior support ◦ Personnel with knowledge of behavioral theory ◦ Systems of assessment, plan development, intervention ◦ Coordination of intervention time and procedures.
Team Action Planning Review the Team Checklist responses. ◦ Come up with a single set of responses for the whole team Identify an action step for each item scored as "partial" or "not started"
Activity: 35 min EBS Survey Turn to EBS Survey Complete School-wide Identify process you would use to (a) introduce material to faculty, and (b) review system EBS Survey online: pbssurveys.org
Outcomes Needed to Implement SW-PBS Administrator endorses PBS effort Coach identified and supported by state team School team established, operating Commitment from staff (80%) Behavior Support one of top three goals Self-Assessment Completed By Team By All Staff Action Plan Developed

The Crescenta Valley High School JROTC along with representatives from the American Legion Post 288 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1614 held a flag retirement ceremony at the high school on Tuesday afternoon.
The annual event is a way to dispose of tattered American flags in a respectful and honorable manner.
Lt. Col. David Worley, mentor for the JROTC, conducted the ceremony.
"The flag speaks to us with authority and vigor. It says. 'I am the flag that stands for the greatest nation on Earth. I am no more than what you believe me to be. I am all that you believe I can be. I am what you make me and nothing more,'" Worley said. "Look upon our flag with renewed allegiance, honor her, respect her and most importantly defend her."
The damaged and tattered flags are collected throughout the year. Anyone with flags that they wish to be part of a future retirement ceremony can drop their old flags at Crescenta Valley High School or Crescenta Valley Weekly.
"People can buy a new flag and support the Two Strike Park War Memorial project," said Lynn McGinnis, veteran and former Rosemont Middle School history teacher.

Big Band Bash!
Lane Wallace, this year's chairperson, has asked David Hagy to begin the musical toast with music from the Frank Sinatra era, following up on last year's most successful event. As inspiration for incorporating more current styles, Lady Gaga's collaborations with Tony Bennett were considered. Knowing David Hagy's genius for thematic programming, guests are sure to be delighted!
As in year's past, the evening will begin in Hedrick Auditorium with a stage presentation by the SSO Big Band. Then, everyone reconvenes in the Crystal Ballroom for dinner and dancing. B & B Catering will again provide the incredible dishes.
Individual tickets are available for $100.00 each. Tables for eight or ten may be reserved for $1,200.00 or $1,500.00, respectively. Most of the cost is tax-deductible. Last year's event was sold out in advance, so those interested in attending are urged to purchase tickets early. (they would make great stocking stuffers!)
Thanks go to Lane Wallace and her committee: Andrea Anders, Buddy Farnan, Shari Graham, Henrietta Henderlite, Laura Lewis, Jordan Warren, and Jean Wurster. Funds raised by this special event help keep the music "on" for our community.

Along with Africa, Volume 1 and Volume 2, Volume 3: Colonial Africa, 1885-1939 adopts a new perspective on African history and culture, surveying the wide array of societies and states that have existed on the African continent and introducing readers to the diversity of African experiences and cultural expressions. Toyin Falola has brought together African studies professors from a variety of schools and settings. Writing from their individual areas of expertise, these authors work together to break general stereotypes about Africa, focusing instead on the substantive issues of the African past from an African perspective. Volume 1, African History Before 1885, introduces students to the various precolonial histories of Africa. Volume 2, African Cultures and Societies Before 1885, provides a broad view of precolonial experiences and expressions in Africa. Volume 3, Colonial Africa, 1885-1939, details the experiences and ramifications of the colonization process throughout the African continent. Many different aspects are discussed including the changes in political and economic systems, and impacts on education, religion, and the environment. Also included are detailed regional histories of various geographical areas. The texts are richly illustrated and include maps to make cultural and historical movements clearer, as well as suggestions for further reading that will help readers broaden their own particular interests. Africa provides new perspectives that challenge the accepted ways of studying Africa, flexibility for instructors to structure courses, and encouragement for readers who are eager to learn about the diversity of the African experience.

Neil Wallis, the former deputy editor of the News of the World, wept in the dock of the Old Bailey today as he was cleared of phone hacking.
The jury had deliberated over four days before unanimously finding him not guilty of conspiracy to intercept communications.
The veteran Fleet Street journalist, known as the Wolfman, sobbed "thank you, thank you" to jurors as he was discharged by Mr Justice Saunders.
He had been accused of being part of the "dark arts " of phone hacking celebrities carried out on a massive scale at the now defunct Sunday tabloid.
The prosecution had claimed hacking involving former editor Andy Coulson and senior journalists was "so widespread at the paper that it is inconceivable" Wallis was not involved in it.
But Wallis, 64, of Chiswick, denied any knowledge of phone hacking.
He refuted claims by reporter Dan Evans, who pleaded guilty to phone hacking, that the executive had tried to recruit Evans because of his skills at illegally intercept voicemails.
Wallis told the Old Bailey that the allegation that he had told Evans he knew he could "screw phones" was "absolutely untrue".
Coulson was jailed in 2013 and other executives and senior reporters on the paper have also admitted their part in the illegal activity, the court heard.
Wallis was Coulson's right-hand man between 2003 and 2007 during the scandal which led to the Sunday tabloid shutting down in July 2011.Reuse content

RELATED: When this bot fly gets yanked out, a surprise follows.
That's what happened to this poor soul, who had a massive bot fly buried under his skin. The doctor took great care to gently remove the still living creature. Using tweezers, the doc pulled, and pulled, and pulled, until finally, the bot fly came out — still squirming.
Hopefully, someone put that little creature out of its misery.

SCETV's Carolina Classrooms Provides Valuable Educational Resources To State
South Carolina ETV's (SCETV) Carolina Classrooms provides valuable resources for South Carolina's educators. The monthly public affairs program informs the local community about major issues and initiatives involving South Carolina's schools. Carolina Classrooms also features segments to showcase the work of teachers from the community. Previous topics on the show include statewide assessments, early literacy programs and new technologies in the classroom.
Carolina Classrooms was created by SCETV to highlight the positive aspects that were coming out of South Carolina's schools. SCETV President and CEO Linda O'Bryon stated, "Carolina Classrooms is important because it portrays positive images and good will about our state's educational system. It helped bridge the post-election transition of state education leaders and has given the Superintendent of Education, legislators, teachers and administrators a public venue to discuss the public important topics pertaining to education."
Carolina Classrooms is a crucial resource to facilitate discussion between parents, teachers and legislators. The program also works to feature issues immediately affecting South Carolina's education system.
Upcoming topics include a town hall meeting on funding inequities among districts, and a segment on college admissions and financial aid.
The program has worked in collaboration with many community partners, including local school districts, the South Carolina Department of Education, South Carolina State Museum and Riverbanks Zoo.
Carolina Classrooms airs the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.

"They (Facebook) invented social networks, and there's always been this layer of innovation," Birwadker explained adding, "but with more pressure on revenue, and especially on mobile and advertisements, I think we are seeing a lot less risk taking and adventurousness by their employees."
On the other hand, Microsoft is often perceived as less innovative, because the more established tech giant has lagged behind the growth of its competitors. Microsoft has always made a lot of money doing things the right, traditional, organised way, the study said.
"But with the success of social platforms and companies like Google Microsoft realised that they need to focus on consumer first, whereas they have always been B2B," Birwadker stated, pointing out that with the arrival of Microsoft's latest CEO, Satya Nadella in 2014, this wave of innovative energy started. Although the giants of the technology industry have a lock on employer branding by their quirky hiring practices, free food, and other perks that make work "fun", the analysis of the personalities of their staffs presents a different picture. Companies like IBM, Facebook and Google aren't necessarily providing the working atmosphere that is reflected in their recruiting materials, the study showed. "You can't have 10 people in a boardroom deciding what the culture of the company is. It is defined by the people who already work there," Birwadker noted, revealing that employees who discover that their company culture is different than advertised are more likely to leave.In the study, published by Good&Co, the team analysed the psychometric data gained from anonymous personality quizzes completed by 4,364 tech employees of what they believe are perceived as the five most innovative companies in Silicon Valley: Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and IBM.
In total, the two-year-long study also analysed 10 million responses from 2,50,000 users. Questions ranged from thoughts and feelings about networking to how they handle problems at work.

Barack Obama and his fellow liberals pushed to welcome thousands more refugees into the United States. Conservatives have pushed against the idea, stating the obvious dangers and concerns over terrorists hiding among them.
Those concerns were verified recently by Syria's dictatorial President Bashar Assad who spoke with Yahoo News in Damascus. In speaking about the 4.8 million Syrian people who have fled his war-torn and terrorist filled nation, Assad indicated that terrorists are flocking to the US while the liberal courts block his executive order on immigration.
According to Yahoo News:
"In an exclusive interview with Yahoo News at a presidential office in Damascus, Assad said President Trump's freeze on admitting refugees from his country — part of an executive order that has drawn widespread protests and is being challenged in federal court — 'is an American issue' on which he would not take sides. But asked if some of those who fled are 'aligned with terrorists,' Assad quickly replied, 'Definitely'."
"'You can find it on the Net,' Assad went on: 'Those terrorists in Syria, holding the machine gun or killing people, they [appear as]peaceful refugees in Europe or in the West.' He said he couldn't estimate how many there might be, but he added that 'you don't need a significant number to commit atrocities.' He noted that the 9/11 attacks were pulled off by fewer than 20 terrorists 'out of maybe millions of immigrants in the United States. So it's not about the number, it's about the quality, it's about the intentions'."
However, terrorists in the most common sense and understanding of the term, is not the only concern that should be considered as a good reason to block the flood of refugees and immigrants into the country. Based on reports coming out of refugee camps in Europe, they also pose a personal danger to millions of Americans, mostly our women and children.
One report comes from The Christian Post:
"A mass rape epidemic is taking place inside the Dunkirk refugee camp in Northern France where women and children are being assaulted by sex traffickers, according to reports."
"The Guardian reports that accounts from volunteers, medics, refugees and other officials have exposed how women and children are forced to have sex by traffickers in return for provisions and an offer of passage to the U.K…"
"'Sexual assault, violence and rape are all far too common. Minors are assaulted and women are raped and forced to pay for smuggling with their bodies,' a volunteer coordinator said."

The FA Cup's pre-eminence may have been killed by the desperation to get in, then stay in, the Premier League, but every now and again the corpse twitches. It did this week when West Bromwich Albion were overwhelmed by the demand for tickets for today's derby match at Birmingham City.
While Aston Villa stagger on under Paul Lambert, their local rivals have both been invigorated by new managers. St Andrew's is sold out for the first time since City's Championship play-off tie against Blackpool in May 2012. The 28,000-plus gate will be 12,000 above their league average. This, said manager Gary Rowett, means he will make fewer changes than he had planned.
Ten squad players featured in the third round at Blyth Spartans, where Birmingham came back from a two-goal deficit, but, said the manager: "We won't be making wholesale changes. It's such a big tie. It has captured the imagination of all the fans.
"It's going to be a really big crowd and a great afternoon and therefore we'll treat it as seriously as we can."
Injuries and international commitments limit Tony Pulis's options but he, too, will look to field a strong team. Five-times FA Cup winners – most recently in 1968 – West Brom have not gone past the fourth round in five seasons. This reflects a focus in the Premier League era on staying up. The last time they went beyond the fourth round while in the top flight was in 1982, when the goals of Cyrille Regis led them to the semi-finals.
However Pulis, who took Stoke City to the final in 2011, said: "Confidence is built on results; if you can put yourself through a run of games unbeaten and carry on to the next game – whether it's an FA Cup or Premier League game – keeping the momentum is important."
Albion are unbeaten under Pulis after three matches. Birmingham have lost twice in Rowett's 13 games.

UPDATE 1-Chevron Calif. refinery repairs seen taking 1-3 months-sources
* Refinery's fuel production at least 50 pct capacity -trade
BERLIN, March 16 German rail operator Deutsche Bahn swung to a net profit last year thanks to cost savings, according to company documents seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The state-owned company posted a net profit of 716 million euros ($768 million) for 2016 after writedowns on its rail freight business and restructuring costs led to a 1.3 billion euro loss a year earlier, the documents showed.
Adjusted operating profit rose 11 percent to 1.95 billion euros last year, and revenues inched up 0.3 percent to 40.6 billion euros.
Deutsche Bahn declined to comment on the information, and referred to a news conference due to take place next Thursday.
In January, Deutsche Bahn Chief Executive unexpectedly resigned after eight year in charge. The company has around 20 billion euros of debt and last year received a 1 billion euro injection of taxpayers' money.

* Refinery's fuel production at least 50 pct capacity -trade
Aug 9 Canada's Bombardier Inc reported a 14 percent fall in second-quarter profit on lower revenue in its train division as it completed some contracts in Asia-Pacific and Europe, and major orders were still in the startup phase.

This morning I could NOT get out of bed. I really just couldn't do it. But of course, I had to work today so I really just didn't have much choice in the matter. While laying in bed and pressing SNOOZE for the 100th time, I remembered, I have turkey bacon in the fridge!! It sounded so good! So, I hopped out of bed and turned the oven on and put the bacon in right away. I set the kitchen timer for 15 minutes, and gave myself that deadline to get ready. Seriously. Since I never get into my sheets at night without showering first, I didn't feel too bad about not showering this morning. Also, I really wanted to wear leggings today, so that's how the outfit below happened. I dressed quickly and packed my lunch and all, by the time the timer buzzed!! Can you believe it?? Yes, you probably will when you notice the ponytail and lack of make up. But I managed to make it to work on time in a cozy Friday outfit. I was also in a great mood since I had eaten yummy bacon on the way!

Oratorical Festival to Celebrate 25th Anniversary
Expand Messages
- Oratorical Festival to Celebrate 25 th Anniversary
The St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival will mark its 25 th anniversary
with the national finals in June 2008. Over the years, the festival has
given thousands of teenagers "an opportunity to learn, write and speak about
their Orthodox faith, Church and heritage." A program that began with the
participation of 73 parishes in 1984 has grown to 203 parishes in 2007.
In 1983, Mr. Ernest Villas, the Department of Religious Education Director,
established the Oratorical Festival. Mr. Villas and Minerva Stergianopoulos,
the first Archdiocese Oratorical Festival chairman, wrote the first
Oratorical Festival Manual.
The first national Oratorical Festival finals were held in New York City at
the 1984 Clergy-Laity Congress where finalists from the 10 dioceses, which
then included Canada, participated. The top speakers in each division took
part in a panel discussion the following day.
The 1985 Oratorical Festival finals were held in St. Louis and the Rev.
George Zervos served as the national chairman. In 1986, the finals were held
at the Clergy-Laity Congress in Dallas. Detroit was the host city in 1987
and the final time that the Oratorical Festival was combined with a
Clergy-Laity Congress was in 1988 in Boston.
Since then, the Oratorical Festival finals have been hosted by parishes
within each of the metropolises on a rotational basis each year during a
weekend in June.
The Rev. John and Presbytera Margaret Orfanakos have been serving as
Archdiocese National Festival co-chairs since 1985. Mr. Villas was succeeded
as director of the Department of Religious Education by the Rev. Dr. Frank
Marangos in 1997, who served for 10 years. The current director is Dr. Anton
The Metropolis of Boston will host the 25th St. John Chrysostom Oratorical
Festival finals on June 6-8, 2008. Fr. Agathonikos Wilson, pastor of St.
Nicholas Church in Lexington, Massachusetts will chair the host committee,
which will begin its planning meetings in October.
Each year, former Diocese/Metropolis Oratorical Festival finalists from the
host metropolis are invited to the finals. As part of the 25 th anniversary
observance, the Department of Religious Education asks previous finalists to
contact the department to provide an update on what they have been doing
since their participation. Please contact the Department of Religious
Education at 50 Goddard Avenue, Brookline, MA 02445 -7415, or via e-mail at

Breast Cancer Institute of Australia
Breast Cancer Institute of Australia (BCIA)
was established in 1994 as the fundraising and education department of the Australia and New Zealand Breast Cancer Trials Group (ANZBCTG).
As a
breast cancer charity
, the BCIA seeks corporate and public support for the ANZBCTG research program through the conduct of a number of national fundraising activities and programs.
Thankfully, more women survive breast cancer today than ever before. The 30% fall in deaths from breast cancer seen in the last 20 years is largely a result of clinical trials research identifying new and effective treatments and treatment strategies.
Clinical trials are the only scientifically valid way to test the safety and benefit of new treatments, treatment strategies and prevention strategies before they are made widely available.
Clinical trials may take several years to complete, but they are completed more quickly when more resources are available.
We rely on the generosity of the community and the corporate sector to meet the costs of maintaining our current clinical trials; development, planning and commencement costs for important, new clinical trials; and to help support the essential infrastructure required to conduct a collaborative research program involving over 700 researchers and 86 institutions throughout Australia and New Zealand.

how the charity funds we raise are used
The BCIA and the ANZBCTG are licensed to fundraise in each State and Territory of Australia.
