Those efforts to fight obesity in schools? Think younger. A new study finds that much of a child's "weight fate" is set by age 5, and that nearly half of kids who became obese by the eighth grade were already overweight when they started kindergarten.
The prevalence of weight problems has long been known – about a third of U.S. kids are overweight or obese. But surprisingly little is known about which kids will develop obesity, and at what age.
Researchers think there may be a window of opportunity to prevent it, and "we keep pushing our critical window earlier and earlier on," said Solveig Cunningham, a scientist at Emory University. "A lot of the risk of obesity seems to be set, to some extent, really early in life."
She led the new study, which was published in this week's New England Journal of Medicine and paid for by the federal government.
It tracked a nationwide sample of more than 7,700 children through grade school. When they started kindergarten, 12 percent were obese and 15 percent were overweight. By eighth grade, 21 percent were obese and 17 percent were overweight.
Besides how common obesity was at various ages, researchers focused on the 6,807 children who were not obese when the study started, at kindergarten entry. Here are some things they found:
WHO BECAME OBESE: Between ages 5 and 14, nearly 12 percent of children developed obesity – 10 percent of girls and nearly 14 percent of boys.
Nearly half of kids who started kindergarten overweight became obese teens. Overweight 5-year-olds were four times as likely as normal-weight children to become obese (32 percent versus 8 percent).
GRADE LEVELS: Most of the shift occurred in the younger grades. During the kindergarten year, about 5 percent of kids who had not been obese at the start became that way by the end. The greatest increase in the prevalence of obesity was between first and third grades; it changed little from ages 11 to 14.
RACE: From kindergarten through eighth grade, the prevalence of obesity increased by 65 percent among whites, 50 percent among Hispanics, almost 120 percent among blacks and more than 40 percent among others – Asians, Pacific Islanders and Native Americans and mixed-race children.
By eighth grade, 17 percent of black children had become obese, compared to 14 percent of Hispanics and 10 percent of whites and children of other races.
INCOME: Obesity was least common among children from the wealthiest families and most prevalent among kids in the next-to-lowest income category. The highest rate of children developing obesity during the study years was among middle-income families.
BIRTHWEIGHT: At all ages, obesity was more common among children who weighed a lot at birth – roughly 9 pounds or more. About 36 percent of kids who became obese during grade school had been large at birth.
The study's findings do not mean that it's too late for schools to act, but their best tactic may be to focus on kids who are overweight and try to encourage exercise and healthy eating, Cunningham said.
The work also shows the need for parents, doctors, preschools and even day care centers to be involved, said Dr. Stephen Daniels, a University of Colorado pediatrician and a spokesman for the American Heart Association.
Parents who are concerned about a child's weight should talk with their child's doctor, because it may be hard to tell what is normal at various ages and appearances can be misleading. In children, obesity and overweight are defined by how a child ranks on growth charts that compare them to other kids the same age and gender. Kids at or above the 85th percentile are considered overweight, and obese at the 95th percentile or above.
No child should be placed on a diet without a doctor's advice, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises. To help keep kids healthy, balance the calories a child gets from food and beverages with how much exercise he or she gets to allow enough for normal growth – some weight gain is normal, the CDC says.
"You can change your fate by things that you do early in life," with more exercise and eating a healthy diet, Daniels said. "Once it occurs, obesity is really hard to treat. So the idea is we should really work hard to prevent it."

We have been hearing a lot about North Korea and nuclear weapons lately. Well, nuclear negotiators have just wrapped up a first day of talks on Iran's nuclear program. Tehran does not have nuclear weapons and insists it doesn't want them, but six world powers say the country must do more to assure the world that its program is entirely peaceful. We spoke earlier with NPR's Peter Kenyon, who is in Almaty, Kazakhstan for the talks. Peter, good morning.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Good morning, David.
GREENE: So what we've heard from the Obama administration is that they will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, and that they're hoping that diplomacy can bring that result. I mean, is there a chance that these negotiations are the type of diplomacy that might work?
KENYON: Well, that's become even more in question very recently. The talks opened with the international side waiting to see Iran's response to a proposal that had been placed before it several weeks ago here at the first Almaty talks. But as the session broke for lunch, the deputy Iranian negotiator, Ali Bagheri, made a rare appearance before the media.
He said the head negotiator, Saeed Jalili, had presented the six powers with what he called specific plans related to a five-point proposal Iran had broached back in Moscow last June. Now, this complicates things quite a lot, and part of the problem is it was a very cryptic briefing, with only very vague comments from Mr. Bagheri. So we don't know exactly what was proposed, but there's a clear sign that Iran is trying to bring other issues into play again, as it has in the past - regional security issues, and a number of other things.
So an optimist might say this is Iran being cagey and calibrated, making a small step forward to match this small step made by the international side. But on the more negative side, you would also have to say this looks like Iran talking past the specific proposal, and that could suggest a long wait and a much harder row to hoe for the negotiators ahead.
GREENE: OK. So we get this briefing from the Iranians, but Peter, if we put aside the rhetoric and what Iran is saying, I mean, if we judge Iran by its recent actions, I mean, are we getting a clear picture of what their intent is?
KENYON: Iran and clarity are not actually things you hear very often in the same sentence, and that certainly was true today with their response. They have a way of being enigmatic and leaving many ambiguities on the table. They've done that in practice, as well as in their rhetoric. You can see that they have brought enhanced centrifuges in to enrich uranium at some of their plants. This is a problem for the IAEA, the U.N. watchdog.
On the other hand, they have slowed their processing of enrichment, which has made a lot of people happy, including the Israelis, who have been warning and have been very nervous about what they've been doing on the enrichment front. So, again, it's very difficult to read which way it's going to go, and there's so little trust in the West or in Israel for Tehran and vice versa, that they're laboring decades of mistrust and lack of communication.
GREENE: OK. So you're at this meeting in Kazakhstan. The Iranian side is there. One of the events that's coming up is a presidential election in Iran in June. And I guess I'm wondering: Does that add some urgency at all to these discussions?
KENYON: Well, it's hard to tell what effect that will have. It may slow things down, actually. But on the other hand, Ayatollah Khamenei will still be in charge when all is said and done, no matter who is the president. So, in theory, the negotiations could still go on at the same clip. And some in Tehran are already talking, however, about a possible new negotiating team, for instance, after the elections. So it may well be that we'll see a lull here for a few weeks.
GREENE: All right. NPR's Peter Kenyon, joining us from Almaty, Kazakhstan where he's covering ongoing talks on Iran's nuclear program. Peter, thank you.
KENYON: You're welcome, David. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Who To Call First
Whether you received a 2 a.m. phone call with news of an unexpected death or shared your loved one's final moments of a long illness, your initial reaction to the death was likely shock. It doesn't seem to matter how prepared we are - or aren't - a loved one's death often leaves us feeling numb and bewildered. If you're responsible for making the funeral arrangements or executing the will, shock and grief can be immobilizing. Even simple decisions can be overwhelming.
Making the first phone calls
What to do first depends on the circumstances of the death. When someone dies in a hospital or similar care facility, the staff will usually take care of some arrangements, such as contacting the funeral home you choose, and if necessary, arranging an autopsy. You will need to notify family, friends and clergy. It may be easier on you to make a few phone calls to other relatives or friends and ask each of them to make a phone call or two to specific people, so the burden of spreading the news isn't all on you. If you are alone, ask someone to keep you company while you make these calls and try to cope with the first hours after the death.
Call a funeral director
Whatever the circumstances of death, one of your first calls should be to a licensed funeral director. We are here to help you:
Call the employer
If your loved one was working, you'll need to call his or her employer immediately. Ask about the deceased's benefits and any pay due, including vacation or sick time, disability income, etc. Ask if you or other dependents are still eligible for benefit coverage through the company. Ask whether there is a life insurance policy through the employer, who the beneficiary is and how to file a claim.
Call the life insurance company
Look through the deceased's paperwork for the life policy. Call the agent or the company and ask how to file a claim. Usually the beneficiary (or the beneficiary's guardian, if a minor) must complete the claim forms and related paperwork. You'll need to submit the death certificate and a claimant's statement to establish proof of claim. Remember to ask about payment options. You may have a choice between receiving a lump sum or the having the insurance company place the money in an interest-bearing account from which you can write checks.

From Ted To Barack
There's a lot to say about tonight, which I think ultimately was a very good night for both health care reform and liberalism. But I'm about to hit the radio, so I'll just post the letter from Ted Kennedy that Obama referenced tonight, which was like when Dean Martin would open a door on his old TV show and have Frank Sinatra standing there:
May 12, 2009
Dear Mr. President,
I wanted to write a few final words to you to express my gratitude for your repeated personal kindnesses to me – and one last time, to salute your leadership in giving our country back its future and its truth.
On a personal level, you and Michelle reached out to Vicki, to our family and me in so many different ways. You helped to make these difficult months a happy time in my life.
You also made it a time of hope for me and for our country.
When I thought of all the years, all the battles, and all the memories of my long public life, I felt confident in these closing days that while I will not be there when it happens, you will be the President who at long last signs into law the health care reform that is the great unfinished business of our society. For me, this cause stretched across decades; it has been disappointed, but never finally defeated. It was the cause of my life. And in the past year, the prospect of victory sustained me-and the work of achieving it summoned my energy and determination.
There will be struggles – there always have been – and they are already underway again. But as we moved forward in these months, I learned that you will not yield to calls to retreat - that you will stay with the cause until it is won. I saw your conviction that the time is now and witnessed your unwavering commitment and understanding that health care is a decisive issue for our future prosperity. But you have also reminded all of us that it concerns more than material things; that what we face is above all a moral issue; that at stake are not just the details of policy, but fundamental principles of social justice and the character of our country.
And so because of your vision and resolve, I came to believe that soon, very soon, affordable health coverage will be available to all, in an America where the state of a family's health will never again depend on the amount of a family's wealth. And while I will not see the victory, I was able to look forward and know that we will – yes, we will – fulfill the promise of health care in America as a right and not a privilege.
In closing, let me say again how proud I was to be part of your campaign- and proud as well to play a part in the early months of a new era of high purpose and achievement. I entered public life with a young President who inspired a generation and the world. It gives me great hope that as I leave, another young President inspires another generation and once more on America's behalf inspires the entire world.
So, I wrote this to thank you one last time as a friend- and to stand with you one last time for change and the America we can become.
At the Denver Convention where you were nominated, I said the dream lives on.
And I finished this letter with unshakable faith that the dream will be fulfilled for this generation, and preserved and enlarged for generations to come.
With deep respect and abiding affection,
Labels: Barack Obama, health care, joint session of Congress, Ted Kennedy

Around the world, hundreds of millions of Muslims are fasting from sunrise to sunset. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan began last week and continues until Aug. 7. That's 30 days of avoiding food and drink all day. But in many families, someone still has to prepare a hearty, and sometimes festive, dinner every night.
"Ramadan is a big change in routine," says Jehad Outteneh, a Palestinian in Jerusalem who shops and cooks for her family of eight.
I followed Jehad one day to learn her tricks, and her recipes. We started at the vegetable stand just a few steps inside old Jerusalem's Damascus Gate.
Today, as on many days, she buys bright red tomatoes and small cucumbers — the standard base for a Middle Eastern salad — plus mint, cilantro and lemons to spice it up. Today she adds lettuce for a second salad, a touch of festivity for tonight's dinner. It's the second week of Ramadan, and the fast is broken daily at sundown by a special dinner, the iftar.
That's still several hours away.
"During Ramadan you feel the food has a different taste because you wait so long to eat," Jehad says.
Jehad always seems to be smiling. She was born in Jerusalem's Old City, above the maze of small alleyways crowded with tourists, pilgrims and residents. And she and her husband, Hattim, raised six children in an apartment here that, amazingly, shuts out the din. She shops for food every day and knows almost all the merchants.
The rest of Jehad's shopping list for tonight's supper: chicken, cauliflower and rice for the main dish, maqluba. Walnuts, sweet cheese and pancakes for qatayef, a dessert dumpling and traditional Ramadan treat. She buys a couple of bottles of soft drinks to supplement a chilled homemade carob drink in the fridge at home.
By the time she lugs all her bags home, it's 5:30.
"I'm hungry," she says. "And really thirsty."
But it's another couple of hours until sundown. Time to cook.
Jehad chose maqluba for tonight's dinner because it's quick and the family loves it. She can't taste as she goes, of course, but it doesn't matter. She's cooked this dish hundreds of times, the way her mother taught her long ago.
"I only cook what my mother cooked," she says. She never looks at recipes; she says she wouldn't need one for Palestinian food.
She manages to prepare food despite hunger pangs by focusing on the spirit of Ramadan. "It's all for God," she says. "All day I try to do good."
Jehad's family drifts in and out as she boils chicken, fries cauliflower, twists the stems off the mint and cilantro bunches. Her daughter Amani, 20, helps chop tomatoes, but says she couldn't do much else as she has no clue how to cook. Her younger sister learned when she got engaged, and Amani expects to do the same.
Hiba, 21, pouring yogurt into bowls, accidentally licks a bit off her finger. She hurries to rinse out her mouth. She says she's tired, thirsty and has a headache. Amani says she sleeps or watches movies to pass the long Ramadan days, and hates it when there's a scene of people eating. But now sunset is getting closer and they hurry to finish preparations.
Amani arranges pickles. Jehad makes fillings for the qatayef: one a walnut-cinnamon-sugar mix and one sweet cheese. Her sons Ibrahim and Ismael, both in their 20s, and youngest daughter Huda, 13, wake up from naps and wander in.
With about 15 minutes to go, Jehad turns on the radio. A man is reading from the Koran. In Jerusalem, there are two signals ending the day's fast: a cannon, which the same family has been in charge of for more than 100 years, and the call "Allahu Akbar" — God is great — over the radio.
The table is set. The maqtuba has been transferred from pot to serving dish. The salads are dressed. The drinks are out of the refrigerator.
The cannon sounds — it's loud! "Allahu Akbar" wafts in from the kitchen. This is also the call to evening prayer, and outside in the Old City streets worshippers are headed toward the Holy Sanctuary to pray at the Al-Aqsa mosque or the Haram al-Sharif. But in Jehad's home, it's time to eat.
"I think God wanted us to eat first, then pray," she says, smiling.
Jehad Outteneh's Maqluba Recipe
Serves eight
2 medium chickens cleaned and cut into parts
1 medium white onion
1 head cauliflower
Cooking oil
Cardamom powder
2 pounds white rice
Soak the chicken parts briefly in salty water. Rinse. Put in a pot and cover with water. Set stove temperature to medium/high.
Add 1 chopped medium white onion. Continue to cook for about 45 minutes. Add water as needed. (Jehad uses hot water from the electric teapot.)
Chop cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. In a separate pot, pour in enough oil to mostly cover the cauliflower. Heat oil and add cauliflower when hot enough to fry. It's ready when its honey colored. Remove from oil; place on paper towel to drain. Let it cool, then add cauliflower to pot with chicken. Add six big shakes of cardamom powder and some salt.
While the chicken and cauliflower continue to cook, rinse rice. Add a small amount of salt and a generous amount of turmeric; mix with the wet rice. Add the rice to the chicken and cauliflower pot. Continue to cook until rice is ready. Serve warm with yogurt.

Strategy, timing key to states' pot legalization
Associated Press
| Monday, December 3, 2012, 10:05 a.m.
SEATTLE — In the late-1980s heyday of the anti-drug "Just Say No" campaign, a man calling himself "Jerry" appeared on a Seattle talk radio show to criticize U.S. marijuana laws.
An esteemed businessman, he hid his identity because he didn't want to offend customers who — like so many in those days — viewed marijuana as a villain in the ever-raging "war on drugs."
Now, a quarter century later, "Jerry" is one of the main forces behind Washington state's successful initiative to legalize pot for adults over 21. And he no longer fears putting his name to the cause: He's Rick Steves, the travel guru known for his popular guidebooks.
"It's amazing where we've come," says Steves of the legalization measures Washington and Colorado voters approved last month. "It's almost counterculture to oppose us."
A once-unfathomable notion, the lawful possession and private use of pot, becomes an American reality this week when this state's law goes into effect. Thursday is "Legalization Day" here, with a tote-your-own-ounce celebration scheduled beneath Seattle's Space Needle — a nod to the measure allowing adults to possess up to an ounce of pot. Colorado's law is set to take effect by Jan. 5.
How did we get here? From "say no" to "yes" votes in not one but two states?
The answer goes beyond society's evolving views, and growing acceptance, of marijuana as a drug of choice.
In Washington — and, advocates hope, coming soon to a state near you — there was a well-funded and cleverly orchestrated campaign that took advantage of deep-pocketed backers, a tweaked pro-pot message and improbable big-name supporters.
Good timing and a growing national weariness over failed drug laws didn't hurt, either.
"Maybe … the dominoes fell the way they did because they were waiting for somebody to push them in that direction," says Alison Holcomb, the campaign manager for Washington's measure.
Washington and Colorado, both culturally and politically, offered fertile ground for legalization advocates — Washington for its liberal politics, Colorado for its libertarian streak, and both for their Western independence.
Both also have a history with marijuana law reform. More than a decade ago, they were among the first states to approve medical marijuana.
Still, when it came to full legalization, activists hit a wall. Colorado's voters rejected a measure to legalize up to an ounce of marijuana in 2006. In Washington, organizers in 2010 couldn't make the ballot with a measure that would have removed criminal penalties for marijuana.
Since the 1970 founding of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, reform efforts had centered on the unfairness of marijuana laws to the recreational user — hardly a sympathetic character, Holcomb notes.
That began to change as some doctors extolled marijuana's ability to relieve pain, quell nausea and improve the appetites of cancer and AIDS patients. The conversation shifted in the 1990s toward medical marijuana laws. But even in some states with those laws, including Washington, truly sick people continued to be arrested.
Improved data collection that began with the ramping up of the drug war in the 1980s also helped change the debate. Late last decade, with Mexico's crackdown on cartels prompting horrific bloodshed there and headlines here, activists could point to a stunning fact: In 1991, marijuana arrests made up less than one-third of all drug arrests in the U.S. Now, they make up half — about 90 percent for possession of small amounts — yet pot remains easily available.
"What we figured out is that your average person doesn't necessarily like marijuana, but there's sort of this untapped desire by voters to end the drug war," says Brian Vicente, a Denver lawyer who helped write Colorado's Amendment 64. "If we can focus attention on the fact we can bring in revenue, redirect law enforcement resources and raise awareness instead of focusing on pot, that's a message that works."
With a potentially winning message, the activists needed something else: messengers.
Steves, who lives in the north Seattle suburb of Edmonds, was a natural choice — the "believable, likeable nerd," as he calls himself. Known for his public television and radio shows, as well as his "Europe through the Back Door" guide books, he openly advocated in 2003 for a measure that made marijuana the lowest priority for Seattle police.
He already knew Holcomb, who had been the drug policy director at the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington state. The ACLU chapter recognized that voter education would be crucial to any future reform, especially after polling revealed that many voters didn't even know Washington had a medical marijuana law.
Holcomb helped recruit Steves to star in a 2008 infomercial designed to get people talking about marijuana law reform. The video was aired on late-night television and at forums held across the state, during which experts in drug policy answered questions from audiences.
In November 2009, John McKay, the former Seattle U.S. attorney, agreed to appear on one of those panels. McKay was well respected, from a prominent Republican family and had served as the Justice Department's top prosecutor in western Washington — charged with carrying out U.S. drug laws.
He called for a top-to-bottom review of the nation's drug war and endorsed regulating marijuana like alcohol.
Suddenly, the legalization movement had traction.
Over the next year, a voter initiative drive and legislative efforts gained steam but ultimately failed. California's Proposition 19 legalization measure also failed in 2010. But even with little money and no significant editorial endorsements, in an off-presidential election year with lower youth turnout, Prop 19 received more than 46 percent of the vote.
Holcomb thought: Imagine what Washington could do in a presidential year, with an endorsement from McKay and some money.
So, with the backing of the ACLU's state chapter, Holcomb formed New Approach Washington. In June 2011, the group announced Initiative 502, to legalize up to an ounce of marijuana and to create a system of state-licensed growers, processors and retail stores. It was tailored to gain mainstream support: There would be no home-growing, and there would be a DUI standard designed to be comparable to the 0.08 limit for blood-alcohol content.
The drug also would be taxed at every stage, from growing and processing to selling. State studies were done showing legalization could bring in half a billion dollars a year for schools, health care and substance-abuse prevention.
The list of co-sponsors was unimpeachable: Steves, McKay, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, the former top public health officer for Spokane County, two past presidents of the state bar association, a top University of Washington addiction expert. The Seattle Times' editorial page offered its own endorsement.
National drug-policy reform groups also were focusing on 2012. The New York-based Drug Policy Alliance saw campaigns developing in three states — Washington, Colorado and Oregon — and it had the money on-the-ground advocates so desperately needed. The alliance is funded in part by billionaire and longtime liberal political donor George Soros, who came out in favor of marijuana legalization in 2010.
The organization chipped in more than $1.6 million in Washington. The Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana Policy Project gave $1 million in Colorado.
Then came another big donor. Peter Lewis, the founder of Progressive Insurance, had used marijuana after a leg amputation and had been a big contributor to medical marijuana campaigns. His people initially told Holcomb they didn't think I-502 would pass, but then he offered a match: If they could raise $650,000, he'd kick in $250,000. New Approach Washington met the goal, and Lewis became the campaign's biggest donor, responsible for more than $2 million of the $6 million raised.
The money ensured that Washington's activists could keep their message on air, and they did so effectively.
The first television ad, which aired last summer, featured a middle-aged mom saying that she didn't like marijuana, but that taxing it would bring in money for schools and health care and free up police resources. Among women aged 30 to 50, Holcomb says, support for regulating marijuana jumped about 18 percent.
The next ads featured McKay, former Seattle U.S. Attorney Kate Pflaumer and Charles Mandigo, the former head of the FBI office in Seattle, urging approval of I-502.
Colorado's measure didn't have the big-name endorsements that Washington's did, but the state had other things going for it. For one, it already had the most highly regulated medical marijuana market in the country. There, organizers were careful to appear before news cameras in suits and ties. Ads featured middle-aged women, or schoolchildren who could benefit from marijuana taxes.
Opponents tried to fight back, mounting a $543,000 campaign in Colorado, with backing from a Florida-based anti-drug group and an evangelical Christian group.
In Washington, a small group from the medical marijuana community raised $6,800 to oppose I-502. They criticized the DUI standard as arbitrarily strict and said the measure didn't go far enough because it wouldn't allow home-growing.
A group of nine former heads of the Drug Enforcement Administration urged U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to publicly oppose the measures, but the DOJ and the White House remained silent.
Instead, Kevin Sabet, a former White House drug policy adviser, served as a counterpoint to the legalization campaigns. The ills of prohibition — the racial disparities in who gets busted, the lifelong consequences of a conviction for landing jobs or student loans — could be solved without legalization, which would increase the availability of marijuana for teens who are most susceptible to becoming addicted, he contended.
Yet such arguments found little support.
"When you hammer away at that message, saying we can save education and make better use of police resources and get rid of cartels, and there's nothing to oppose that, that sounds sensible to people who aren't hearing the other side," Sabet says.
On Nov. 6, I-502 passed with nearly 56 percent. Colorado's Amendment 64, which allows home-growing and does not include a drunken driving standard, passed with 55 percent.
Oregon's Measure 80 ultimately failed. But even with little campaigning behind it, that proposal got nearly 47 percent of the vote.
As they await word about whether the Justice Department will try to block the measures from taking effect, national drug-law reform groups are salivating over their chances in 2014 and 2016.
California? Nevada? Massachusetts?
"Something is happening, and it's not just happening in Washington and Colorado," says Andy Ko, who leads the Campaign for a New Drug Policy at Open Society Foundations. "Marijuana reform is going to happen in this country as older voters fade away and younger voters show up. Legislators see this as something safe to legislate around.
"They see the writing on the wall."

Data drives destiny
How a culture of evidence combined with big data in education will transform our community colleges – and why it is so critical now
By Karen Stout, President and CEO, Achieving the Dream
I am drawn to collecting and analyzing data. In an odd way, this attention to data keeps me motivated and focused. For example, my Fitbit activity tracker tracks my daily calories, activities and steps, and syncs to my phone, giving me a daily, weekly, monthly and annual visual summary of my progress against my goals. The Virtual Run Coach app on my smartphone plots out a customized daily, weekly and monthly training plan that changes with me based on my progress. I get data on my performance and visuals that show my progress.
These technology tools put quantitative rigor and consistency to the patterns of an active life. I think of the maxim, "You cannot manage what you cannot measure" – sometimes attributed to statistician and quality expert Edwards Deming, sometimes to management consultant Peter Drucker (claimed by neither). Either way, data and my smartphone keep me honest and on track, continually charting progress against goals.
Big data in education can teach us about the capacities we must build to become high-performing organizations that will improve student learning while repaying public investments and keeping tuition affordable.
The data-driven life
Data is in my genes. As a young girl, I was fascinated with data. I memorized the statistics of all the major league players from the baseball cards I collected. I diligently kept score at games to track performance against the statistics on the cards. The 2003 book Moneyball sang to me. That book affirmed that an analytical, evidence-based approach could create a competitive sports franchise in spite of financial disadvantage.
Decades before Moneyball came out, I was already searching for truths to be found in data. Early in my career in community college administration, I created a strategic planning council presentation where I manually sorted through and synthesized data to look at student zip code against age, ethnicity and majors to develop a five-year enrollment development plan. After that exercise, institutional research started to report to me, and I was soon developing dashboards and effectiveness models well before the Middle States Commission on Higher Education cared and well before the accountability movement was upon us.
I have long been a believer that a love for data – and a deep curiosity to look to data for answers to the "cause to wonder" questions – can transform our community colleges.
The reform imperative
The US community college system is central to our economic vitality. Economists project that by 2020, more than 60 percent of jobs will require more than a high school diploma, yet only about half of those jobs will require a four-year degree. The other half of those jobs represent the vast need for skilled workers in technical and trades positions, such as licensed practical nurses, machinists, robotics technicians and aviation maintenance personnel. Our country needs 11 million more credentialed workers by 2025 to ensure US competitiveness, said Bill Gates, former Microsoft chairman and CEO. That's a big gap.
The tragedy is that millions of young people are falling through the gaps rather than filling them. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 5.5 million young people (one in seven teens and young adults) are neither working nor in school. The youth unemployment rate is more than 11 percent. For young African-Americans it is more than 20 percent.
In his recent book, Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis, Robert Putnam speaks to the alarming opportunity gap that has emerged between young people from "have" and "have not" backgrounds. He makes a case that for many, the American dream is no longer self-evident. We have to turn that around.
Community colleges play an important and growing part in addressing both the workforce gap and inequality. "Despite their mixed record, community colleges have real promise as a means of narrowing the opportunity gap by providing poor kids with a realistic path upward," Putnam wrote. "To serve that role, they need more funding, improved student services, better connections to local job markets and to four-year colleges, and a lower dropout rate."
This is where movements such as Achieving the Dream come in. This national reform network uses several approaches to close achievement gaps and accelerate student success. Working directly with community colleges, we offer technical assistance, support and peer learning experiences to promote evidence-based institutional change. We work with state leaders and community colleges to influence policy reform. And we promote best practices by conducting and sharing original research on success strategies and meaningful metrics. As the nation's most comprehensive network of community college reformers, Achieving the Dream helps establish consensus, coalition and shared commitment.
The centrality of data in shaping the future
Data is central to meaningful reform. If community colleges are to adapt to better serve the country's future, we can't just espouse a new image. We can't count on rebranding efforts to make our colleges more attractive. "You [college presidents and boards] can't communicate your way out of this problem," said Rick Hesel of the rebranding firm Art and Science Group. Those days are gone, and for most of us were gone years ago.
The heart of our renewal agendas must be formed around evidence, not spin. For the potential to open the doors and windows of our colleges, data drives destiny. Margaret Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science, wrote: "We need to have information coursing through our systems, disturbing the peace, imbuing everything it touches with new life. We need, therefore, to develop new approaches to information – not management but encouragement, not control but genesis." For community colleges, this genesis revolves around student progress and completion.
Big data in education can tell us about what we don't know about our students, their motivations and their habits. Data can tell us how and when we can provide the essential learning supports blended with the right pedagogy, at the right time for the right students for their academic, career and life success. Big data in education can teach us about the capacities we must build to become high-performing organizations that will improve student learning while repaying public investments and keeping tuition affordable. Data can help our institutions remain viable in a changing world, where we have to balance a historic mission of access to a new mission of access and success.
Are we ready?
Despite much progress in using data and analysis to support better decisions, there's a lot of work to do. A 2014 National Association of System Heads (NASH) study of the institutional research (IR) function among public university systems raised some troubling findings:
- IR teams are struggling to keep pace with rapidly increasing demand, caused both by accountability needs and growing interest in using data to improve performance and inform decision making.
- Decisions in critical areas – such as resource utilization, efficiency, connections to the workforce and how resource use leads to student success – continue to be made without appropriate information.
- While the quantity and quality of available data is improving, the use of information in decision making is not improving at the same rate. The main focus of IR offices is still compliance reporting.
- Despite evidence that colleges are investing more in IR, there are still extreme variations in staffing levels and staff skills and experience, particularly in community colleges.
"IR offices are running hard and yet many are still falling behind, deluged by demands for data collection and report writing that blot out time and attention for deeper research, analysis and communication," the NASH report states. "The analytical functions remain topically stove-piped, with the IR office focused on student and student-related research, with reporting and research in other topical areas handled in the budget office. … The overall ability of IR offices to use data to look at issues affecting many of the cross-cutting issues of the day, such as the connections between resource use and student success, is nascent at best."
There are data management obstacles to evidence-based transformation as well:
- Unevenness in data definitions across colleges, states and sectors makes it difficult to compare performance across colleges and see what works.
- There are too many non-standard data definitions within systems (even within a single college with multiple campuses) to make full strategic sense of the data.
- Due to disparities among systems and campuses, too much time is spent finding and cleansing the data, time that could be better applied to analysis and communication.
- Legacy information systems weren't developed to accurately code some groundbreaking innovations, such as the use of co-requisites. We then have to rely on unconnected shadow databases to evaluate progress.
In many respects, these are not technology gaps but leadership gaps, gaps in how we as leaders develop and nurture a culture of evidence to help us continually learn, improve our effectiveness and in turn improve outcomes for students.
In part two of this series, we'll take a closer look at what it means to have a culture of evidence.

KTM Marchetti Signs with Larranaga and Zanotti for Next Season
We woke reasonably late following the feast and free flowing wine the night before. After gathering ourselves and our packs, we headed down to our homestay family's small dining room for breakfast.
Refreshingly, what was expected of her was the same thing that was expected of Lara Stone: to take a beautiful picture.
We were making our way to the Rila Mountains, where we were visiting the Rila Monastery where we enjoyed scrambled eggs, toast, mekitsi, local jam and peppermint tea.
We wandered the site with other tourists
Yet strangely the place did not seem crowded. I'm not sure if it was the sheer size of the place, or whether the masses congregated in one area and didn't venture far from the main church, but I didn't feel overwhelmed by tourists in the monastery.
Headed over Lions Bridge and made our way to the Sofia Synagogue, then sheltered in the Central Market Hall until the recurrent (but short-lived) mid-afternoon rain passed.
Feeling refreshed after an espresso, we walked a short distance to the small but welcoming Banya Bashi Mosque, then descended into the ancient Serdica complex.
We were exhausted after a long day of travel, so we headed back to the hotel and crashed.
I had low expectations about Sofia as a city, but after the walking tour I absolutely loved the place. This was an easy city to navigate, and it was a beautiful city – despite its ugly, staunch and stolid communist-built surrounds. Sofia has a very average facade as you enter the city, but once you lose yourself in the old town area, everything changes.
Clothes can transform your mood and confidence. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. I like to be real. I don't like things to be staged or fussy. I think I'd go mad if I didn't have a place to escape to. You have to stay true to your heritage, that's what your brand is about.

Darbee Plemmons
We were referred to marble com by our contractor and I can say with confidence that it was the right choice. First of all, the selection there is amazing, we had a tight budget and we still had few dozen options on colors in granite, where other places would give us 3 or 4. Second they came out to measure the day after our cabinets went in and installed in 2 days. If you're looking for good quality of work, great selection and fast turn around this is the place for you.
Rene Wolfe
I'm very happy we decided to go with marble com instead of others. They do all the cutting and polishing on the spot, and their pennsylvania granite installers come to do the job, it's much easier than trying to track down contractors. Not to mention their prices of granite pa were lower and they do the work much faster.
Eugene Medina
After getting few other quotes we ultimately ended up back where we started, with excellent service, best price and biggest selection. When you walk around looking at all the materials they have, it's easily the most you'll find anywhere in the area. Their installers were very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Great place to get countertops.

When you're looking for quality craftsmanship and want to stay within your budget, pay them a visit and you will not be disappointed.

Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning
June 2019 Issue
by Mario Vittone
The new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim and headed straight for a couple who were swimming between their anchored sportfish and the beach. "I think he thinks you're drowning," the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other, and she had screamed, but now they were just standing neck-deep on a sandbar. "We're fine, what is he doing?" she asked, a little annoyed. "We're fine!" the husband yelled, waving him off, but his captain kept swimming hard toward him. "Move!" he barked as he sprinted between the stunned owners. Directly behind them, not 10 feet away, their nine-year-old daughter was drowning. Safely above the surface in the arms of the captain, she burst into tears and screamed, "Daddy!"
How did this captain know—from 50 feet away—what the father couldn't recognize from just 10? Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect. The captain was trained to recognize drowning by experts and years of experience. The father, on the other hand, learned what drowning looks like by watching television.
If you spend time on or near the water (hint: that's all of us), then you should make sure you and your crew know what to look for when people enter the water. Until she cried a tearful, "Daddy," the owner's daughter hadn't made a sound. As a former Coast Guard rescue swimmer, I wasn't surprised at all by this story. Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for is rarely seen in real life.
The Instinctive Drowning Response, so named by Francesco A. Pia, Ph.D., is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water, and it does not look like what most people expect. When someone is drowning there is very little splashing, and no waving or yelling or calling for help of any kind. To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic drowning can be, consider this: It is the number two cause of accidental death in children age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents). Of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening.
In an article Dr. Pia wrote for the Coast Guard's On Scene Magazine, he described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
• Drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help except in rare circumstances. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is a secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
• Drowning people's mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale and call out for help. When the drowning people's mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
• Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water's surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
• Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
• From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response, people's bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs. (Source: On Scene Magazine: Fall 2006 page 14)
This doesn't mean that a person who is yelling for help and thrashing isn't in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the instinctive drowning response, aquatic distress doesn't last long, but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, reach for throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
• Head low in the water, mouth at water level
• Eyes closed
• Head tilted back with mouth open
• Hair over forehead or eyes
• Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
• Not using legs
• Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
• Trying to roll over onto the back
• Appears to be climbing an invisible ladder
• Hyperventilating or gasping
So, if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks okay, don't be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don't look as if they're drowning. They may just look as if they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, "Are you alright?" If they can answer at all, they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you need to get to them and find out why!
Mario is a leading expert on immersion hypothermia, drowning, sea survival, and safety at sea. His writing has appeared in many local and national publications. He has developed courses for municipal rescue teams and the military on search and rescue tactics and open ocean survival.

County jails tend to serve multiple functions and why a person is being detained in a jail facility helps determine many of the conditions of his or her incarceration. Jail is generally the first place a person is taken after being arrested. Some cities or other municipalities will have their own jail facilities, while others will be serviced by the county jail. Additionally, where a person is taken post-arrest may depend on who arrested him. County jails are generally run by county sheriffs or other local government officials and will have designated jurisdiction over offenders arrested by certain agencies, such as the sheriff's department, but may also provide overflow housing for areas that are also serviced by municipal jails. Therefore, you may have to contact multiple facilities in the immediate aftermath of an arrest in order to determine where a person is being detained.
Not all jail inmates are pre-trial detainees. County jails also serve as short-term post-conviction incarceration facilities for offenders who have been convicted of minor crimes or who have received short jail sentences. Generally, county jails will only house offenders who have received sentences shorter than a year in length, though some offenders with longer sentences may be placed in county jail facilities in order to participate in work programs. Those incarcerated in a county jail post-conviction may have access to many of the same resources as those incarcerated in prison, including drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, education programming, and some type of vocational training. They may also be more likely to work within the community than people at state jail or prison facilities.
If you have a loved one or family member at [prison name], it is important to know whether the inmate is a pre-trial detainee or has already been convicted of a crime. Pre-trial detainees may need the services of an attorney and may even be eligible for pre-trial release. A bail bond service or a criminal defense attorney may be able to help your loved one secure a pre-trial release.

About half of those surveyed in a new poll of voters in three swing states thought presidential candidates should release multiple years of their tax returns.
The Quinnipiac University/New York Times/CBS News poll of voters in the battleground states of Colorado, Wisconsin and Virginia found that the disclosure by candidates of multiple years of taxes had the support of 48 percent in Colorado and 52 percent in the other two states.
So those who have called for Mitt Romney, the all-but-official Republican presidential nominee, to make several years of his tax returns public appear to have plenty of support.
But Romney apparently has a lot of people who see things his way, too. A three-state average of around 19 percent of those surveyed thought it was all right for presidential candidates to release just one or two years of tax returns.
And an average of 25 percent in the three states said it wasn't necessary for candidates to release any tax returns at all, meaning that almost as many people were on Romney's side of the issue as were on the side wanting to see many more years of a candidate's returns.
One interesting thing to know would be if the split in views is among the 9 percent or so of voters who say they could still change their minds.
Also, it's possible that voters who don't care about candidates' tax returns might change their view if they had more information about what the returns can reveal about a candidate's finances.
In any event, there appears to be plenty of support for Democrats to continue pounding away at Romney on the tax returns, and as much support for Romney to stand firm.
