More than one out of six American reported times in the past 12 months that they or their families did not have enough money to buy food they needed, according a study released today by the Food Research and Action Center.
"This report clearly shows that now is most definitely not the time to cut any anti-hunger or nutrition programs," says Congresswoman Rosa DeLaura (D., Conn.). "Both the food stamp and Women and Infant Children programs are at risk of being decimated when they are most needed. In the richest country in the world, it is simply unconscionable that so many children go to bed hungry. We should be fixing this problem, not exacerbating it."
The national average was 18.2%, down from 18.6% last year, but about on par on the level of food insecurity through the Great Recession starting in 2008, reports FRAC. Southern states, with their higher level so poverty, were among the most food insecure.
Mississippi was the hungriest, with 25% reporting food insecurity last year. Even the best state, North Dakota, reported 10% food insecurity.
Bakersfield, Calif. and New Orleans were the large metropolitan areas reporting the most food insecurity.

The juveniles involved in creating a video depicting a school shooting will be punished, the Forest County district attorney said Friday.
Earlier this week, Forest County Sheriff John Dennee said officers received reports about a YouTube video over the weekend. Dennee said the video showed students being shot in front of the Crandon School.
The sheriff said a male juvenile was arrested and taken to the Forest County Jail. Officers searched his house but found no weapons or other evidence, Dennee said. No further evidence was found at the school either.
Now, Forest County District Attorney Charles Simono says more than one juvenile was involved.
"The juveniles, in addition to any punitive measures to be taken by the school system, will be held accountable through the juvenile court system" he said in a statement released late Friday afternoon.
Simono said there was no danger to students or the public. He said the video was simply made in "extremely poor taste."
The district attorney says authorities need help from the community to make them aware of potential threats.

Floral Centerpieces from Used Guitar Strings
If you have ever practiced, played, or plucked at a stringed instrument, then you have likely experienced broken strings. They're a real drag, for everyone except artist Julia Friend. She will happily take your broken strings and turn them into something beautiful, like a bouquet of string flowers. You can buy her lovely creations or make your own using the following DIY tutorial. Check it out!
If you'd like to make some guitar string flowers of your own, Julia has a great DIY tutorial up on Candoodles, and the materials are incredibly simple: wire cutters, 1 thick guitar string, 3 thin guitar strings, and craft/binding wire. That's it!
If you are more interested in purchasing a string flower, Julia's online shop Stringcycle is dedicated to beautiful items made from reused instrument strings, and her repertoire is quite impressive, spanning jewelry to flowers to home decor. She finds her strings via instrument repair shops and musician friends, which got me thinking about all the musician friends I have and all the strings they may be breaking...

Head on over to Candoodles for the full tutorial.

My dad is an avid guitar player (plays while eating breakfast & watching TV LOL) and the strings he uses have different coloured ends on them. So since my daughter was born 5 years ago he has been cutting off the ends and saving them so someday he can make her a necklace with the metal ends as beads. It will be beautiful & so meaningful when it finally arrives!
D'Addario is the brand with different colored balls. It's the only brand I use. It allows them to place all of the strings in one 'envelope' so you can identify each one by color. It reduces waste since the other brands who use plain balls have to seperate them into marked envelopes.
Just be careful around your pets! Cats especially seem to be entranced by old guitar strings and the wire can easily puncture organs if ingested.
How do I vote for Piewacket?
I went to a Gardening expo recently, and this reminds me of a lot of the seller booths there. Lots and lots of garden art made out of recycled materials which I personally found completely, utterly, mortifyingly tacky, but which I still loved the idea of and hoped found it's way into the garden of someone who loved them.

Health Care:
Health and Human Services' Estimate of Health Care Cost Savings Resulting from the Use of Information Technology
GAO-05-309R: Published: Feb 17, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 17, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9286
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
According to the Institute of Medicine and others, the U.S. health care delivery system is an information-intensive industry that is complex, inefficient, and highly fragmented, with estimated spending of $1.7 trillion in 2003. The Institute of Medicine has called for transformational change in the health care industry through the use of health information technology (IT) to improve the efficiency and quality of medical care. As a regulator, purchaser, health care provider, and sponsor of research, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has also been working over the years to promote the use of IT in public and private health care settings. We are currently working to provide Congress with an overview of HHS's efforts to develop a national health IT strategy, identify lessons learned from the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense regarding their use of electronic health records (EHR), and identify lessons learned from international efforts to modernize national health IT infrastructures. As part of this ongoing work, Congress asked us to review how a recent HHS estimate of cost savings from the adoption of IT was derived and what portion of these savings are projected for the federal government.
According to the National Coordinator for Health IT, HHS's initial estimate of potential nationwide savings resulting from the adoption of health IT is based primarily on two studies conducted by the Center for Information Technology Leadership (CITL). One of the CITL studies identified $78 billion in annual savings, while the other study estimated $44 billion from the widespread implementation of IT used in ambulatory care settings. Both studies estimated savings based on the use of models to project the value of net cost savings from the adoption of IT and incorporated information from published studies, expert panels, and market research. However, CITL and other health care experts acknowledge that these estimates are based on a number of assumptions and inhibited by limited data and therefore are not necessarily complete and precise. Although HHS had originally given us estimated annual federal savings of $30 billion associated with the Medicare program, in its comments HHS stated that it is unable to reliably quantify savings. HHS also stated that it is actively working to determine what the savings will be and expects them to be substantial. Although the available data make estimating cost savings difficult, according to HHS Medicare would likely save a proportionate amount from reduced utilization of services for Medicare-funded office visits (because the program uses volume-based payments for ambulatory and inpatient care) and from reduced use of medications given inappropriately or unnecessarily.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A motorcyclist lost control of his bike on a road two miles east of Midway Corner Sunday afternoon and authorities don't know what happened.
Captain Jim Hoekman with the Minnehaha County Sheriff's office says the 22-year-old from rural Garretson just passed a pickup. Hoekman says the driver of the pickup says the motorcyclist wasn't speeding or driving erratically. The driver of the pickup lost sight of the biker over a small hill and when he got to the top he saw the bike on it's side and the rider thrown onto the road.
Hoekman says there were no witnesses to the actual crash so authorities don't know how he lost control.
Hoekman says the victim is in stable condition but is unconscious.
He says a helmet probably saved his life.

Cinematography in the Digital Age
Presented by the Academy's Science and Technology Council
Revolutionary developments in digital technology continue to impact every aspect of filmmaking. Cinematography in the Digital Age explored how current skills and techniques of cinematographers have evolved from traditional methodologies used when working with celluloid film.
Hosted by Academy governor Bill Kroyer, "Cinematography in the Digital Age" included film clips and discussion with cinematographers on the challenges and opportunities brought by changing technologies. A variety of motion picture formats and techniques were discussed, including animation, motion capture and visual effects.
Guests at the event included Cinematography Branch governor John Bailey ("Country Strong," 2010); Oscar-winning cinematographers Guillermo Navarro ("Pan's Labyrinth," 2006) and Dean Semler ("Dances With Wolves," 1990); Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, directors of the CG-animated film "How to Train Your Dragon" (2010), who discussed how cinematographer Roger Deakins helped create the look of the film; Science and Technology Council member Rob Hummel, who explained the film and digital image capture processes; and Digital Intermediate Colorist Adrian Seery. The program also included recorded remarks from this year's Oscar winner for cinematography, Wally Pfister ("Inception," 2010) (See video at right).
The host, Short Films and Feature Animation Branch governor Bill Kroyer, received an Academy Award nomination for his 1988 short film "Technological Threat," which pioneered the technique of combining hand-drawn and computer animation. He directed the animated feature film "FernGully: The Last Rainforest" (1992), was senior animation director at Rhythm & Hues Studios in Los Angeles, and is Director of Digital Arts at the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University.
Academy Award winner Wally Pfister discusses the future of cinematography and his work on "Inception."

Jack Osbourne took time out from his very busy Dancing With The Stars schedule to attend baby classes with wife Lisa and daughter Pearl on Thursday.
Ozzy Osbourne's son was seen leaving the parenting session in Beverley Hills carrying his adorable 16-month-old daughter Pearl, who wore a blue and white striped dress with her hair tied up in pigtails.
The 27-year-old kicked off this year's Dancing With The Stars with a slinky rumba routine which scored him a competitive score of 47.
All of the Osbourne family turned out to watch Jack's dancing debut last week but it proved too much for proud mum Sharon who could barely hold back the tears during his performance.

I have read from a few sources that when Differin or Retin-A has cleared up the acne, it can be used less frequently or bumped down a dose to keep the skin clear. Are there any evidence, or maybe even anecdote to support this?
In some sense, it makes sense, since topical tretinoin works by thinning the outer layer skin and preventing new pimples from even forming properly, so once the skin is adjusted and established to the point where there is no breakout, maybe lower dosage or less frequent dosage can 'maintain' the state of the skin? or does the body start to return to normal that quickly to return back to normal again?

I've been using it coming to 8 months already and now I use it alternate nights. Next week onwards, I'll use it 3 times a week. I'm not completely clear yet. I'm afraid that completely stopping tretinoin will cause my skin to go back to square one. I'm going to use it 3 times a week for as long as I can. Hope that this will "maintain" my skin.

Yes, definitely reduce as much irritation to your skin as possible, done mostly by the chemicals. Try to wean yourself off of them, but go slowly! And make sure you're also working on the root of the problem, the cause of your acne (whether it be balancing hormones, helping digestion, eliminating allergies, cleaning up your diet, etc.) That way even if your topical is not full strength, your acne won't come back with a vengeance like mine did (I was on BP for like three years, I weaned myself off, and when I was completely off my acne came back within 2 months because I hadn't adressed the real inner cause).

I was never able to wean myself down when I was on it. I was on tazorac for 5 1/2 years. Maybe its just me, but to get the meds to work I had to just use them as directed continually. From what I understand from my derm, they don't make acne go away really, they just help slough off skin better so your skin cells aren't as "sticky" and likely to result in a clogged pore, so if you use them less I would image that process slows down and new acne will eventually result. I'm not sure if this is true for everyone, I had mod to severe acne at the time. I would see or phone my derm and double check just to be sure first, if it were me. No reason to reverse a good thing and have to start all over again if it could be avoided. Hope it works out well for you!!

When you think about it, being gay is pretty manly. Spending all you time with flowery smelling girls, playing with their smooth dainty bosoms and longing after their friendly little perfumed fairies is pretty fucking gay. Do you know how much I have to talk about shoes on a daily basis?
Gays on the other hand have to take a cock up the arse. It takes a real man to let some big burly man bend you over and pound the shit in to you. That shits gonna hurt.
Could you suck a cock? I know I couldn't. It takes a bigger man than me to let some big hairy sweat box grip on to your eyes and rattle his balls off your chin.
So maybe we heterosexuals are the gay ones after all?

Didn't he steal a joke from Family Guy and claim it as his own as well?
Ha, I can honestly say I've never seen any stand up by that guy. And the family guy thing I even said it was someone at work who came up with it, so I didn't know it was from family guy.

Some days feel elastic, like hours have more in them than 60 minutes. And then some days, like yesterday, feel like hours have fewer than 30 minutes in them, and no matter how well I plan — and I'm a very good planner — I don't have enough time to accomplish everything I meant to do.
Woke up with the best of intentions. Early. Not quite 6:30. Meant to go to the gym and knock out five miles or so before going to the grocery store. But I didn't. Hit snooze enough times that my phone gave up on waking me up. When I woke up woke up, I had slept another two hours, which I rationalized I must have needed.
Aurora had her six-month early-intervention checkup at 12, which meant I had a little more than three hours to clean the house (which includes dishes and laundry and vacuuming and bed-making and toy picking-upping and changing the litter and throwing out the garbage and today, because I didn't do it last week, comic book away-putting, since I had gotten out my dozen long boxes in advance of Shaun's visit), close the cats in a room, and try to get to the gym and grocery store and gas. Didn't get gas the night before; needed to do it today.
The cleaning took longer than I intended, and I never made it to the grocery store — or to the gym — but I got gas, and then Holly was over with the kids and she was supposed to take Avery outside or something, since he has a hard time letting Aurora have her time with her "doctor" (which is the word we use to describe the woman who comes over to help Aurora develop her fine motor skills), but it unexpectedly started to rain. Which meant Avery wasn't going anywhere, and Holly wasn't going anywhere, and when I suggested that I take Avery grocery shopping and that Holly handle the appointment, Avery said no.
And, usually, what Avery wants — or, in this case, doesn't want — Avery gets, or doesn't get.
The appointment lasted the better part of two hours, and then they were gone, and Aurora was sleeping, and Holly was finishing what she had been working on during the appointment, and I was working — a Web site still to develop; marketing collateral still to develop — and then Holly was gone and the kids were doing their thing and then it was nearly 4, and I had to get Avery to his chiropractor, which took an hour, counting the getting there and the waiting and the getting home. Had to cancel my evening time in the gym day care; no time for yoga.
I don't like days when I don't get to the gym at least once, because days when I can't get to the gym means days when I can't respond to one of Shaun's several texts, or check Twitter as much as I'd like to, or even read what my friends post to Facebook. Days when I can't get to the gym make me feel like I've totally disconnected from the world.
Home after the appointment, which meant more time to work, and then it was time to hear Christopher Moore read from his new book, Sacre Bleu, which means getting the kids into the car, and then driving against the commute, and getting the kids out of the car, and waiting, and then waiting again (this time in the autograph line) and dealing with nice-enough people telling me how beautiful the kids are and how, under different circumstances, they would have no problem stealing Avery. And Avery, who understand when he is being paid a compliment, eats this stuff up, making best friends with the strangest of people.
And Aurora, being Aurora, is happiest when she's the center of attention; she is my daughter after all.
On our walk back to the car, Avery says: Smells like Spring, Daddy.
Yes, Avery, it's spring.
And he stopped at every flowerbed — which, in Brookline, on the street where we were walking, is several fucking flowerbeds — and he smelled the flowers, which was cute the first time, and even the fifth time, but by the tenth time, not saying to hell with the spring took every bit of patience that the day had left me with.
At home, Aurora went to sleep, and Avery played with his toys, and I finished what I needed to do for work, and I solved an issue with the book that has been nagging me for weeks, and solving this issue kind of solved several other issues, the handling of which took time, and it's nearly midnight and the kids are asleep and Holly is done at her job and she is going to her apartment and I am still awake, which I will regret tomorrow — today, really — because we are taking the kids to the zoo.

Day 2 of the 2012 Summer Garden Program
On the second day of the program we got to Bronx Letters and watered all of our plants. They were all very thirsty! We then spent the rest of our day painting "Applegate Garden" on a wall. It was a great team effort and is now a very welcoming and beautiful space in our garden, brightening it up with lots of colors!
And of course, we ended the day with some fun rounds of "Wah" and "Ninja." Maddie is still the reigning champion.

text: As the name implies, the body of the Brilliant Turquoise Discus is disc shaped with full dorsal and anal fins reaching to the tail. The body can reach to 8 to 10 inches in diameter. In the wild, Brilliant Turquoise Discus are found in very soft, acidic (ph< 7.0) water and prefer to live among the submerged roots. In the home aquarium you need to provide plenty of cover. Juvenile Brilliant Turquoise Discus can tolerate large schools while the adults may start to pair off and defend territories. Discus are rather intolerant of poor water quality, so regular partial water changes must be made and proper filtration maintained at all times. When under stress, most Discus will turn very dark and may clamp their fins and refuse to eat.

Political Philosophy, American Political Thought
Office: Zulauf Hall firstname.lastname@example.com
Overview of Scholarly Activity
Adam Seagrave (Ph.D., University of Notre Dame) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science. His research focuses on the central ideas of the American political tradition, including the interrelationships between natural rights, the natural law, and democracy. His book The Foundations of Natural Morality: On the Compatibility of Natural Rights and the Natural Law, is forthcoming with the University of Chicago Press (Spring 2014). This book offers a new account of morality that reinterprets the venerable but contested traditions of natural rights and the natural law, reconceives these concepts both in themselves and in their relation to one another, and applies the resulting account of morality to a number of contemporary political issues. In addition to his teaching and research, Dr. Seagrave serves as the managing editor of the journal American Political Thought: A Journal of Ideas, Institutions and Culture.

The superrich are hobbling the economy
The top 1% are saving money at a 37% rate, triple the 2007 level. That hurts the recovery as less goes to capital investments and consumption.
If it isn't bad enough that the U.S. is increasingly becoming a land of haves and have-nots, it turns out the haves' recent behavior may be ruining the recovery.
The superrich are saving their money at a rate of 37%, meaning they're putting away 37 cents on every dollar they earn, according to CNBC, citing research from American Express Publishing and Harrison Group. That's three times their savings rate in 2007.
Why is that a problem? Aside from what billionaire Charles Koch says, people in the top 1% aren't earning $34,000 per year. In fact, they control 39% of the world's wealth, or a hefty $52.8 trillion. That will likely increase as wealth continues to concentrate at the top, CNBC notes.
But with the superrich increasingly hoarding those assets as cash, less is going toward capital investments such as new businesses or products (new yacht, anyone?).
It's probably enough to make the late President Ronald Reagan roll over in his grave. After all, Reagan pushed the idea of the "trickle-down economy," whereby tax cuts for the rich would trickle down to the middle class. Of course, that works only if the rich actually invest or spend.
"It's a real problem to the extent that more and more income is going to people at the top and more of that income is not going to places that are productive," Michael Linden, the managing director for economic policy at the Center for American Progress, told The Huffington Post.
The increased savings rate of the superrich might support the idea of raising taxes on the top 1%, although Linden told the publication that higher taxes only encourage the wealthy to move money into less-taxed vehicles.
It's not only wealthy individuals hoarding cash. Corporations are also sitting on piles of money. Apple's (AAPL) $137 billion in cash prompted investor David Einhorn to sue over what he called a "cash problem."
Nonfinancial companies now hold liquid assets of 45% to 50% of their short-term liabilities, compared with a historical level of no more than 30%, The New York Times notes.
For both individuals and companies, cash hoarding might be a result of uncertainty about the economy. But their savings rate, ironically, may be hurting the broader recovery by keeping capital out of the system.
As Linden told The Huffington Post: "If the choice is between putting the money under a rich guy's super super expensive mattress or giving it to a middle-class family who needs to pay for child care, I'd rather pay for child care. That's better for the middle-class family, and that's better for the economy."

They aren't burying it in a coffee can in the back yard, or keeping it under their mattress, their money is in banks, stocks, bonds and other investments. Their money is being used to fund capital projects at the places where their money has been invested, either by them, or by the banks where they keep it.
These commies at MSN have no understanding of the economy, do they?
OF course, when your sources are the Center For American Progress and The Huffington Post, what do you expect?
Wow, where to begin with the stupidity of this article? Let's start with the attack on the trickle-down theory. The author says that tax cuts to the wealthy will only trickle down if the wealthy actually spend or invest their money. He misses the fact that not only have there been no tax cuts, there have been real tax increases through the disaster through the disaster called Obamacare, and there are ongoing threats to bleed the rich with additional punitive taxes.
Speaking of threats to impose additional taxes, let's look at this idiot's next statement that the savings by the rich might support the idea of raising their taxes even more. Does he really think that will make them spend or invest? The rich are not spending or investing because of the combination of taxes and threats of tax increases. Obamcare is choking the economy, and the uncertainty over its impact on employment costs is keeping all of this money on the side lines.
This is more typical liberal bleed-the-golden-goose-while-we-still-can thinking.
If "The superrich are hobbling the economy" it's because superliberal legislation from the Oval office and Senate the past five years has made it so ...
Wait a minute, I'm wrong!!! I forgot the billions/trillions pumped into the economy to help the middle class and poor via the stimulus packages to energize GM, Solyndra, A123 Systems Solutions (Michigan battery company for green energy cars), "Quid pro quo" for Detroit's City Council supporting our POTUS during both elections, "Obama Phones", etc., etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum.
Saving part of your income for a rainy day should be a discipline everyone employs ... especially our elected officials. This bit of "rant" comes from a middle class, hard working blue collar boy!
Welcome to the People's Republic of America.
It is so interesting to see how fast Aimee makes the jump for me managing my money the way I want to as being hoarding rather than saving. Saving is when the "right people" keep money. Hoarding is when the people who don't vote for big government try to keep some more. Because we are hearring of means testing for MediCare and means testing for Social Security, we know that saving more and more is the only sort of security we will have.
Can't wait for the financial version of the death panels in ObamaCare. That will be the group that decides who is most productive with their money, so that they get more. Not those who earned it, heaven forbid.
The writer is echoing the NONSENSE that comes from economists like Paul Krugman and some of the others are not necessarily liberal like he is.
CAPITAL for investment is supposed to come from SAVINGS! There is still NOT ENOUGH SAVINGS. America saves at about 3% overall. We need to save at 15% or even 20%!
This doesn't happen because interest rates are too low and because the cost of living is too high for ordinary Americans.
Can you see how damaging the Fed and the federal government are?
---Inflationary policy that drives up the cost of living, but the Consumer Price Index covers up how high inflation really is. The CPI has become a DAMNABLE LIE!
---Fed lending to the big banks at 0%, then their buying tons of Treasury bonds negates the need to lend to businesses that are NOT POLITICALLY CONNECTED. The bankers already have their profits! They have been laying off bank employees, because they don't need to attract savers or borrowers compared with before.
---Worst of all, the rich people's savings ARE NOT SITTING ON THE SIDELINE. The savings of the rich are heavily invested in Treasury bonds and bills! The money is already being used. If a rich person tried to use a large amount of savings as venture capital all at once, the Treasuries would have to be sold first. President Obama would be begging China or coercing Japan to buy billions more in Treasuries to keep interest rates from rising even more than they have this year.
The writer, Aimee Pichi, shows NO KNOWLEDGE about how money is saved or why money is saved.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by Minneapolishome from Distinctive and attractive light We purchased this light a couple of months ago and are very satisfied with it. It is a very attractive addition to the living room of our 1911 home. We have received a number of compliments on it from guests. In particular, people often praise the distinctive look of the colored stones. Shipping was easy to track and it was well packaged. Installation is straightforward, but should be done by someone proficient with electrical work, as you would expect for a hard-wired lamp. The appearance of the fixture in the online photos gives it a somewhat lighter colored than the actual light we received. It has fewer whitish stones near the top, gold stones in the middle and somewhat more reddish and brown stones near the bottom of the bowl. This something to be aware of. The lights are individually made and so there is some variance in appearance. This didn't effect our satisfaction with it, is was just a slight difference from the picture. All the retailers who sell this product online seem to be using the same manufacturer's photo so you can't get any varying images by looking at those. I've purchased from LightDirect previously and have been satisfied each time. I would use them again.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY - With a new theatrical year starting on the Treasure Coast, the Pineapple Playhouse kicks off its new season with the Neil Simon play, "Lost in Yonkers."
"This is such a heartwarming story about a dysfunctional family," said Debbie Johnson, the artistic director for the production.
The cast of seven actors have been working since the end of July on the production.
"This is the first time for some people on the stage, and some veteran performers will be there as well," she said. "We have actors of all ages. It's a nice variety."
The play is set in 1942 New York, and details the life of two teenage boys and what happens to them one summer when they are left in the care of their grandmother. The original play premiered in 1991 and won a Pulitzer Prize for drama.
"This story has got a lot of comedy in it, but it's definitely a drama," she said. "To me, it's one of Neil Simon's best."
"Lost in Yonkers" will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 6-8, 13-15, and 20-22 and at 2 p.m. on Sundays, Sept. 9, 16 and 23. Pineapple Playhouse is located at 700 West Weatherbee Road in Fort Pierce.

CET, PNC Foundation partner to provide Math & Literacy Corners at Head Start
CINCINNATI, OH – Students in four local Head Start programs will soon have new ways to learn and experience math and literacy with the help of CET and The PNC Foundation.
CET, Greater Cincinnati's PBS station, is currently setting up Math & Literacy Corners at the Kemper Heights and Assumption Head Start locations as well as within the John P. Parker and Pleasant Hill elementary school Head Start programs. Each corner will include an iPad and Kindle pre-loaded with educational games and apps from PBS Kids; kits of materials with age-appropriate activities and books as well as resources for parents and teachers; a PBS Kids rug; and two large bean bag chairs to encourage students, parents and teachers to spend time in the space.
The corners will officially open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and media event at the Kemper Heights Head Start location at 10:45am Wednesday, April 17. The Kemper Heights Head Start is located at 924 Waycross Road in Forest Park.
The staff at CET also worked with Head Start teachers and staff members on how to use the corners and how to incorporate the tools, especially the math elements, into the curriculum. This "Math is Everywhere" training shows classroom leaders how to use math principles in everyday situations and how to break down larger math concepts into more accessible pieces.
"Education is at the heart of our mission at CET, and young learners are one of our most important audiences. Beyond the children's programming we offer every day, the opportunity to provide resources to educators, use technology for learning, and work with PNC and other community partners to give children a 'head start' toward success in school really supports our educational service goals," said David Fogarty, CET's president.
The PNC Foundation provided the grant to fund the math corners and the staff training as part of the organization's Grow Up Great initiative.
"Research indicates that the return on investment of high-quality early education initiatives is long lasting – affecting child's future societal contributions and contributing to the future health of the economy," said Kay Geiger, regional president of PNC Bank, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. PNC Grow Up Great is a $350 million, multi-year, bilingual initiative that began in 2004 to help prepare children from birth to age five for success in school and life. To date, the program has served more than 1.5 million children.
"PNC awarded this grant to CET because it is well known in the community that CET is a leading provider of education and enrichment for students, parents and teachers in Greater Cincinnati. CET has proven that they have the capability and experience to deliver a high-quality program that will have a meaningful impact," Geiger added.
This project also supports CET's American Graduate program, which takes a cradle-to-career approach to helping students graduate high school. CET has been working with the Cincinnati Public School District and other community organizations to improve outcomes, including providing resources and training to implement reading corners, Martha Speaks Reading Buddies programs, Super Why! Reading Camps and more. American Graduate, a national public media initiative funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, aims to help communities across America address the high school dropout crisis.
The Head Start center anticipates using the Math & Literacy Corners to provide an area for families and educators to interact with children through the use of technology, activities and books.
"Having this resource available will increase the opportunities for child engagement with materials that entice and support math and literacy skills. The corner will be a welcoming place for children and families during enrollment time and throughout the year," Head Start Director Kathy Tirey said.
As a delegate of the Hamilton County Community Action Agency, the Hamilton County ESC Head Start Program provides early childhood education to low income children in fifteen school districts in the greater Cincinnati area.
"Our Head Start Program engages families in a partnership to prepare their children to enter kindergarten ready to learn," comments Tirey. "We are looking forward to this new resource to help in key areas of language development and literacy. On behalf of our families, thank you."

Regional overview
Regional overview
The supply of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) was tight in the second quarter, because of plant shutdowns. Artlant PTA's 700,000 tonne/year plant in Sines, Portugal was said to be down and not expected to be back on line until September. PKN Orlen started a scheduled shutdown at its 600,000 tonne/year PTA plant in Wloclawek, Poland in May and ended it in June.
With so much of the industry now operating more on a spot basis than in previous years, buyers had felt the strain on supply availability. South Korean product had also been rather scarce recently. Yet buyers said they could acquire spot material without a problem in June.
Formula-based PTA contract prices followed upstream paraxylene (PX) prices, which were flat in April and May, but increased by €30/tonne in June. PX supply continued to be tight globally, with low plant operating rates in Asia drawing product into the region. Spot availability was said to very limited in Europe. As a result, spot prices rose sharply in June, despite low end-user demand.
Updated to Q2 2014
US purified terephthalic acid (PTA) contract rose from August to September before declining in October as it tracked the movement of upstream PX, on a formula-based correlation.
The contract price rose 2% from 62.52 cents/lb DEL in August to 63.86 cents/lb DEL in September, on a formula-based correlation. The price then dropped by the same amount in October, returning to the same level it was at in August.
The monthly PTA contract price is not freely negotiated and, for the purpose of the ICIS assessment, its movement is equivalent to 67% of the US PX price delta for the month in which it is settled.

The early French voyageurs in coasting from
Mackinac southward found two considerable indentations of the coast line of Lake
Michigan on the east side, which they were accustomed to cross from headland to
headland. The smaller of these they designated 'La Petite Traverse,' and the
greater, 'La Grande Traverse.' These names were transferred to the two bays
known as Little Traverse and Grand Traverse Bays.
Grand Traverse means 'a long, long way round' and it must have seemed a long way
to the first people who came over the Great Lakes and threaded the pathless
wilderness guided only by chart and compass, sleeping under the everlasting
stars, with giant trees for a canopy while the hemlock and pine boughs furnished
a soft bed whose sweet odors soothed their weary senses and refreshed them for
the toilsome onward march still farther from civilization.
A charm of historic association rests upon all its area. Mound-builders, the
most ancient inhabitants of the territory of the United States of whom we have
any knowledge, had extended their scattered frontier settlements into the Grand
Traverse country. The ground's surface has been scarred by Indian wars in the
remote past.
Here the cross was erected by the early missionaries, and weather-beaten
buildings erected by their successors still remain to connect us with a past
that is rapidly receding. The fame of the Grand Traverse Region, however, is not
dependent on its past. Its pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, and abundance of
sports are of world wide reputation.

Excellent place right downtown Madrid, literally steps away from everything and costs only 22 euro/night for a single room! The only flaw was the wi-fi conection. It worked only when everybody was sleeping, i.e after midnight or early in the morning.

The best thing about this hotel is its central location and proximity to a metro station. It was particularly reasonably priced too. Not very lively which didn't bother us as we just used the hostal to shower in, have an hour's rest before going back out again each day and to sleep. Shower and bathroom were very clean as were the bedrooms.
