National Gay and Lesbian Task Force hires federal legislative director
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
WASHINGTON, April 12 — The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force announced today that it has hired Becky Dansky as its federal legislative director. Dansky joins the Task Force's Public Policy & Government Affairs team as it lobbies for a transgender-inclusive employment nondiscrimination act, comprehensive hate crimes legislation, increased federal money for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) direct social services, and other Task Force legislative priorities.
Dansky is a longtime advocate of LGBT rights. She has worked in the legislative departments of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the Interfaith Alliance and most recently the National Council of Jewish Women, where she served as co-chair of the hate crimes coalition. She has worked on a broad range of legislative issues, including the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), hate crimes legislation and funding for comprehensive sex education and tolerance education. Dansky was involved in the direct lobbying efforts to defeat the Federal Marriage Amendment and has worked on combating federal funding of programs that discriminate in employment. She has also worked to oppose egregious judicial nominees and legislative efforts to limit individuals' access to the courts. In addition, she has worked with the FBI to improve its methods of gathering and reporting hate crime statistics.
"Becky's years of experience lobbying on LGBT and other civil rights issues will be a tremendous asset to our team," said Public Policy & Government Affairs Director Dave Noble. "Her work on hate crimes, ENDA and federal appropriations means she can hit the ground running on day one. Her relationships within religious communities and experience working on the intersection between LGBT issues and the progressive religious perspective will be critical as we continue to educate Congress about the immorality of discrimination."
Dansky begins in the post on May 14.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Inc. ("NGLTF, Inc."), founded in 1974, works to build the grassroots political power of the LGBT community to win complete equality. We do this through direct and grassroots lobbying to defeat anti-LGBT ballot initiatives and legislation and pass pro-LGBT legislation and other measures. We also analyze and report on the positions of candidates for public office on issues of importance to the LGBT community. NGLTF, Inc., is a 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation incorporated in New York. Contributions to NGLTF, Inc., are not tax-deductible.

When it comes to deciding who makes the high school basketball playoffs in California, emotions tend to play a significant role.
But the Sac-Joaquin Section is unique because it has never used a room of people retired or active coaches and administrators to fill out opening-night brackets. The sections playoff teams have always been determined by a formula.
In our section, human beings have never decided this, and we have no interest in changing that time-honored tradition, section assistant commissioner John Williams said. Itd open a Pandoras box if we let humans do this, and other sections do. People would lie, cheat and steal to get a team into the playoffs.
Other sections end up in court over things like this. Theres no reason to take us to court because these are the rules, and the schools voted for the rules.
The section playoffs started in 1972, and the brackets were predetermined Metro League No. 1 vs. Capital Athletic League No. 3, for example. Starting in 1988, a power ratings formula was used, with 70 percent based on league wins and 30 percent on nonleague wins.
Last year, the board of directors, representatives from the sections 27 leagues, voted to change to a formula similar to the original one. The argument was the power ratings had a lot of inconsistencies, such as as a third-place team in a league advancing while a second-place team did not.
The new format, described by section media relations director Will DeBoard as an Olympic model, mandates every league has up to three playoff teams. Leagues that had the most postseason success the previous season would be awarded a fourth team.
This idea has worked out fine for the girls this season, but there are three glaring red flags for the boys.
Burbank could win 19 games and not get into the Division II playoffs; Woodcreek could have 18 victories and not get into the D-I field; and Liberty Ranch, with 17 wins, did not qualify in D-IV.
Williams has mixed feelings, because hes human. Hes crunching numbers and debating ideas with section Commissioner Pete Saco on how to refine the formula.
Williams son, Josh, is the Liberty Ranch coach. Liberty Ranch, which would have made the postseason under the power ratings formula, needed a victory over Cosumnes Oaks on Monday, but the Hawks came up short 89-64 and failed to secure the third-place finsh needed to qualify.
Heres the thing, John Williams said. All three of those teams Burbank, Woodcreek and Liberty Ranch control their destiny. Its up to them to win games. My son says, We should be going to the playoffs. He can argue that, but he knew he had to place in the top three to make it. You can argue all you want that you dont like the system, but these are the rules that were voted on.
Burbank and Woodcreek could be grumbling about the injustice while Inderkum and Stagg of Stockton get into the playoffs with 10-17 records.
Cosumnes Oaks also is in the D-II mix at 11-16, including 16 forfeits for using an ineligible player. Under the power ratings formula, Cosumnes Oaks would not have qualified, so for at least this season, Wolfpack coach Patrick Roth is a fan of the new formula.
That doesnt soothe Burbank coach Lindsey Ferrell, whose Titans are sweating out their final days in the wildly competitive Metropolitan Conference that includes Sacramento, Kennedy and McClatchy, which beat Burbank twice. Burbank must beat Kennedy tonight to ensure a playoff berth.
I dont really care for this formula, Ferrell said. I just dont understand it. If we have 19 or 20 wins, thats a great season, but the system says no. Were not just talking about wins; were talking about making a few stops in league play. Thats how good our league was.
Woodcreek must beat Granite Bay tonight to advance out of the Sierra Foothill League. Granite Bay, also desperate to win to ensure a playoff spot, won the first meeting.
I dont like the new formula, said Folsom coach Mike Wall, whose 24-2 team likely will earn a No. 2 seed in D-II. There are good teams that may get left out that could contend for a section championship and wont have a chance. I feel for them.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida was sentenced Wednesday to 1½ years in prison for stealing $125,000 in party funds, marking the fall of a man who once was one of the most powerful figures in the state.
Jim Greer, 50, was sentenced in an Orlando courtroom, more than a month after he pleaded guilty to four counts of theft and a single count of money laundering. The guilty pleas in February ended Greer's trial before it started.

Earlier this month, Keith Klostermann, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor and director of Medaille's master's program in psychology, had an article, "Treating Substance Abuse: Partner and Family Approaches," published in the academic journal, Social Work in Public Health. Co-written by Timothy J. O'Farrell, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, the article analyzes the impact of family members on the treatment and recovery of individuals struggling with substance abuse. An introduction of the article appears below; you can access the full article here.
"Historically, alcohol and other substance use disorders were viewed as individual-based problems that were most effectively treated by focusing on the diagnosed individual. However, in response to numerous clinical trials demonstrating the efficacy (and often superiority) of couple and family treatments for alcoholism and drug abuse, this emphasis on treating the individual has slowly given way to a greater awareness of family members' crucial roles in the etiology, maintenance, and long-term course of substance use and addictive behavior. As a result, clinicians are increasingly interested in understanding substance misuse from a systemic perspective and exploring how partner- and family-involved interventions may be used to address individuals' substance abuse."
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

In front of 2,200 of his classmates, junior Cameron Healy drills one of the most unforgettable shots in Bloomingdale High history.
"What was the best part about it?...When they were cheering my name," he said.
Cameron is autistic, but through his disability, he's developed an uncanny talent for hitting half-court shots. It's become his hobby. He was invited onto the court as part of the school's pep rally Friday. After a few attempts, he nailed it.
"When he made it and you heard the student body explode, it was overwhelming. There were kids crying, teachers crying, everybody was overwhelmed," said principal Sue Burkett.
"You see something like that, you're reminded how special he his, how special they all are," said Frances Hernandez, Cameron's mom.
Making it even more incredible was what that shot did for the entire student body, helping to raise awareness for the school's Special Olympic athletes.
"It really unified this campus in a way that I'm not sure anyone could've done other than Cameron," Burkett said.
"You can just tell people are bonding with him and that's a really special place," Hernandez said.
A special place where Cameron can grow and others can learn from him. Life lessons worth far more than three points.
"How that building was impacted by one event and one kid, and what he was able to do for 2,200 students is extremely powerful," the principal said.

Hundreds of fast food workers in the New York City area are expected to walk off the job Monday.
It's part of a nationwide movement called "Fast Food Forward".
Employees are asking for their pay to be increased to $15 an hour and they want to form a union.
Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus will join fast-food clergy and community supporters on the strike lines as support for the campaign.
The workers say the fast food industry is making profits, while its workers are forced to rely on public assistance just to afford the basics.
Fast food walkouts are planned Monday in New York City, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Flint, MI.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, April 19 (HealthDay News) -- Certain gene mutations
influence how likely people are to heed advice, even if that advice
runs counter to experience, say researchers at Brown
Their study included more than 70 volunteers with and without
gene mutations that affect the activity of the neurotransmitter
chemical dopamine in areas of the brain called the prefrontal
cortex and the striatum.
The prefrontal cortex considers and files instructions and
advice from other people, such as, "Don't sell those stocks," the
researchers explained. The striatum processes firsthand experience
to help make future decisions, such as, "Those stocks often rise
after I sell them."
They found that people with a variation in a gene called
DARPP-32, which affects the response to dopamine in the striatum,
learned more quickly from experience when they did not receive
advice. But these people were also more likely to heed others'
In these people, the striatum gives more weight to experiences
that reinforce the advice stored in the prefrontal cortex and less
weight to experiences that contradict the information stored there,
the researchers found.
This is called confirmation bias, according to the researchers
-- something that's common in many areas, including politics,
astrology and science.
The study appears in the April 20 issue of the
Journal of Neuroscience.

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
There is a longstanding tradition of community around Adobe products. Across the Internet, our community powers countless forums, mailing lists, blogs, and wikis devoted to one or more Adobe products. For many members of the community, though, they find that nothing beats the human interaction of face-to-face user groups.
Some Adobe user groups are more than a decade old, or number their membership well into the hundreds. These community-driven user groups—meeting in schools, offices, and even living rooms around the world—form an important place for people to learn, share their expertise, discuss the industry, and most importantly network with other learners and professionals.
However, until today, this user group community has been fragmented. There has never been a centralized place where members of the Adobe community from all parts of the community—from Photoshop users to Flex developers—could all come together in one place and easily find one another or find groups of like-minded people.
Now, they can.
Adobe Groups gives the Adobe community a place to connect, find one another, and locate communities of people who share their interests—whether in their own back yard or worldwide. It is a common home for Adobe user groups, containing information about those groups, their areas of focus, and past and future meetings.
Adobe Groups provides a forum of support and technology to the community at all levels. Whether your professional focus is design or development or you're a hobbyist looking to gain experience, or you are just starting out, Adobe Groups can help you strengthen community ties, build your network, learn the latest technology innovations, and see the techniques that turn novices into experts—and experts into gurus.
Nearly all of the content on Adobe Groups is created or curated not by Adobe staff but by the user group managers themselves. Adobe user groups are run by community members like you. They are professionals who live and work all over the world, love Adobe products, and make time in their lives to share their passion and expertise with others in their area. They are a tremendous resource to the Adobe community, building connections and fostering learning face to face. We've built Adobe Groups in large part to help them do their work better and more easily.
Adobe Groups is currently organized by region, so no matter where you are in the world, you can quickly and easily find what's closest to your home, office, or school. And if there are no user groups listed in your local area, you can find out how to start a brand-new user group.
The first thing you should do is create your profile! Make sure you upload a photo or select an avatar. Your profile helps other members find you when they use the search function, and it's helpful to know who you are and why you joined Adobe Groups. (If you're concerned about privacy, please note that you can change each field's permission settings. A field can be visible to the world, restricted to logged-in members, or even restricted to just people you have added to your network.)
Next, start exploring the community. A good starting place is the User Groups page for your geographic region. International users will find that some content is localized into your native language. A range of product groups not tied to geography is also available, and Adobe MAX attendees will notice that there are also event groups for you to join.
Finally, check out the community calendar and job postings. The local Adobe user groups and their members generate all these listings. If you want to contribute content or make comments, you'll need to create an Adobe.com ID in order to log in to the site. And if you want to start a user group, there's a place on the site to let us know.
So visit Adobe Groups, create a profile, and join a group or two! We expect Adobe Groups to grow and evolve over time. As you explore the site, please suggest things that we can add. Please participate in making it a rich resource for our community so that we can all make the impact we need to make.

For Sorry Day (26 May 2011) or for Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June 2011) listen to Black Arm Band's music on YouTube (www.youtube.com) and discuss the band's motivation for performing (read on). Listen to Gurrumul Yunupingu's soulful music (eg. Wiyathul) while doing written work (www.grooveshark.com lets you listen for free).
Black Arm Band has just been asked to perform at the London Olympics in 2012
The aim of Black Arm Band (www.blackarmband.com.au) is: "It is a creative meeting place for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists and producers to develop, perform, promote and celebrate contemporary Australian Indigenous music as a symbol of resilience and hope in the spirit and action of reconciliation."
http://www.abc.net.au/learn/sing/ This is a listing of all songs printed in ABC "Sing" books from 1975 to 2006. It contains searchable database and links to the ABC shop.
Aboriginal stories about life and life-cycles revolve around 4 different natural elements.
Sun, Moon, Water, Land
Divide your class into 4 groups, each labelled Sun, Moon, Water or Land. In 15 minutes they will choose classroom instruments and/or sound sources to depict their label … Each group performs to the rest of the class … Discuss and decide upon a logical order for the soundscape sections … Perform all 4 sections in their order.

You can view the animation at anz.whymusicmatters.org
The 'Music Matters' campaign has produced an animation inspired by this year's MCUI song, "Different People (Stand Together)". The animation follows the song's evolution, from writing and recording, to the performance by 600,000 school children on 1 November 2012. The animation was designed by Motionlab, a Sydney-based animation studio led by Luke Heise and Aaron Bartlett.
"Being part of this project has been a great experience for the team here at Motionlab. Being lovers of music ourselves, we're proud to get behind a project that supports the future of young Australian musicians," says Luke.
Originating in the UK in 2010, the Music Matters campaign is a collective of people across the music community, including artists, songwriters, labels, managers, publishers and music stores, formed to remind listeners of the value and significance of music, explains MCA's new Board member, Catherine Gerrard, who is a member of the Music Matters Steering Committee and Chair of the Australasian Music Publishers' Association.
"The Music Matters campaign is a fresh and innovative project designed to reawaken our connection to the value of music. The idea for Music Matters and Music: Count Us In to collaborate was warmly embraced from the outset. It makes sense: two real-life examples of the importance of music," she says.
ScoreCleaner Notes ($1) = a new app allows you to hum or sing into your device, and it will write up a score … then let you share it over social media. I haven't tried it yet, but here's an article about it: http://www.forbes.com/sites/reuvencohen/2013/05/06/new-app-allows-anyone-to-create-musicial-scores-by-humming-or-singing-no-instruments-required/
"Butcher Paper, Texta, Black Board and Chalk is the culmination of 15 years work of Aboriginal singer songwriter Ruby Hunter with support from her life partner Archie Roach. This stunning children's song book is full of beautiful illustrations and an accompanying music CD and informative DVD.
Many of the songs were written through song writing and music workshops held by Ruby Hunter and Archie Roach with children from across Cape York. The songs reflect the beliefs, pride, aspirations and issues of many clan groups and Aboriginal communities, from the coastal savannahs of Kowanyama to the towering rainforests of Lockhart River, as seen through the eyes of Aboriginal children and songwriters."

Do you play an instrument? Would you like to join a band? Come to ArtPlay in the heart of Melbourne on Sunday 11 November to help us form the biggest band ArtPlay has ever seen or heard!
The event is 'Jump on the Bandwagon' and the aim is to see how many musicians – all ages, all playing together – it takes to fill ArtPlay with music. In the course of an hour we will create a brand new piece of music, with help from some of Melbourne's most inspiring and innovative musicians from the jazz, classical and rock music worlds.
'Jump on the Bandwagon' is a Big Jam for the whole family, and everyone is invited – mums, dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles – and anyone else! You can be any age and of any level of musical experience. More experienced players will learn new music, invent riffs and rhythms, improvise a solo, and work alongside musicians from the MSO, the Australian Art Orchestra, and Melbourne's diverse freelance scene. First-timers will have the unforgettable experience of being part of a large and tight ensemble – like an orchestra but with a few more electric guitars and a lot more percussion.
BYO instrument or play one of ours on the day.

The Armidale Chapter of the Kodaly Music Education Institute of Australia in association with NECOM will be holding another exciting workshop at Old Teachers College on the weekend of October 20-21 this year. Two wonderful teachers, Judith Johnson and Tim Sherlock are the presenters this year. Judith Johnson is the author of many texts used by music teachers throughout Australia. She has 30 year's experience using Kodaly 's method in schools and recently retired from the School of Music at the University of Queensland where she also taught aural musicianship and classroom methodology to teachers in training. Her vast experience and delightful personality will make this a very special learning experience. Teachers attending the weekend will receive 10 hours of accredited PD and Judith will take a special stream concentrating on early childhood methodology – a wonderful introduction for those new to Kodaly methods.
Tim Sherlock is a renowned choral conductor, composer and teacher in Brisbane. He regularly teaches at the January Kodaly Summer schools.

A Brief Survey of Research into the Benefits of Music in Education
Mandy Stefanakis and Assoc Prof Robin Stevens, of the MCA's working group for a National Strategy for Research in Music Education, have conducted a national and international survey of research in music education to identify research projects demonstrating a broad range of benefits of music education. The references below are to research outcomes supported by research methodology assessed as producing highly reliable results.
Where research reports are available online, links have been given. Otherwise, readers can seek them through the list of references at the end of this report.
Aesthetic development
Music provides the opportunity for aesthetic experiences. An aesthetic knowledge can be described as a deep perceptual understanding in which the senses, the emotions and cognition are combined to make meaning through the experiences of creating, making and interpreting aesthetic forms. (See Australian Curriculum: The Arts, 2013; Seidel et al )
Personal, Social, Cultural Expression and Identity Formation
Music through performance and creative experiences provides a means for personal expression, communication and personal, social and cultural identity formation (See McPherson and Welch, 2012; Damasio, 2012; Bowman; Australian Curriculum: The Arts; Seidel et al; Dissanayake; Bresler; Storr; 1992; Green, 2011; Hargreaves et al, 2012; Gupta; Campbell et al 2008; McPherson et. al, 2012; Stefanakis)
Music provides an opportunity to experience and differentiate emotional responses (see Juslin and Sloboda, 2001; Hodges; Storr, 1992; Seidel et al)
Music contributes to students' personal well-being through developing self-image, self-confidence, self-esteem, etc. (see Deasy; National Association for Music Education, President's Committee on the Arts and in the Humanities; Seidel et al.)
Brain Function
With the introduction of more precise techniques to scan different areas of the brain, there has been a massive interest and increase in the amount of neurological research into brain function when engaged in a whole range of musical activities from passive listening to performing on individual instruments. Research specifically shows that both older and newer areas of the brain inclusive of sensory-motor, emotions, cognition, fine motor, equilibrium, aural centres, and both hemispheres of the brain are used to varying degrees and in different ways when engaged in musical activity with dependence on a range of factors. These include gender, age and experience of the musician, the task being undertaken, for example aural, performance, conducting, individual task, group task, and even the kind of music or sound used in a study. Additionally there are variations among individuals.
Importantly, evidence demonstrates that there is a more pervasive effect on the development of the brain (brain plasticity) when a child starts learning an instrument than learning that takes place as an adolescent or adult, but there is still plasticity in the adult brain. Sustained, structured practice with delineated outcomes enhances this plasticity. (Of note is the work of Levitin, 2012; Damasio, 2012; Evans et al, 2009; Hodges, 1996; Hodges and Gruhn, 2012; Juslin and Sloboda, 2001; Merrett and Wilson, 2012; Peretz and Zatorre, 2003; Asbury and Rich, Winner and Hetland)
Music contributes to students' cognitive development including abstract thinking, aural and spatial awareness, verbal understanding (see above)
Music contributes to students' kinetic / motor skill development (see above)
Music contributes to students' creativity when engaged with composing, arranging, improvising tasks which call upon the individual or group to imagine, plan, organise, experiment with and develop sound in an abstract way (see Barrett and Tafuri, 2012; Harwood and Marsh, 2012; Seidel et al; Arts Ed Search, President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities).
Learning Outcomes across Disciplines
It is still not fully understood why, but music enhances learning in a range of non-musical domains. Current thinking centres around the fact that music stimulates so many different brain regions, or that it motivates learning through the brain chemical 'rewards' (such as dopamine hits), the joy that music provides, (McCarthy) or that the social connections and self-esteem it establishes in students has a carry-over effect. Although the reasons are not fully understood there is a great deal of evidence to show that there is a correlation between music learning and enhanced abilities in a range of areas:
· Music contributes to students' rational thinking—reasoning, critical thinking, logistical thinking and interpretive skills (see McGarity, 1986)
· Music contributes to learning in other knowledge and skill areas such as numeracy, literacy (see Bahr, 1996; Geoghegan, 1993)
· Music contributes to students' concentration, memory, time management. A plethora of short-term and longitudinal studies, particularly in the US, demonstrate these effects as a result of Arts Education and the suggested sources list many of these studies (see Burnaford, Arts Ed Search, Fiske, Deasy, Nafme for the above).
Social Cohesion and Skills
Music connects people through sound, so that there is a sense of physical and emotional camaraderie and shared experience. It is what is most unique about the musical experience (see Todd, 2002; Brown, 2000; McNeill, 1995). This 'shared sound' leads to a greater sense of communication with others, team cooperation and enhances social confidence (see Welch and McPherson, 2012).
Music contributes to students' social skills—communication with others, social confidence, team cooperation, leadership potential, etc. (see Stevenson and Deasy, McCarthy).
Music has therapeutic applications in relation to mental, physical and social disabilities (Stevenson and Deasy, Gupta, Catterall et al., Schlaug, McDonald, 1999; Stacey, 1983; Weidenbach, 1981).
Music provides a vocational outcome for some students (McPherson and Welch, 2012).

"Give Me Excess of it" – Richard Gill's memoirs (released Nov 2012).
"Richard Gill is one of Australia's best-known – and best-loved – musical figures. His career has taken him from teaching music in Sydney's western suburbs to Music Director of the Victorian Opera, and along the way an involvement with almost every major opera company and orchestra in Australia.
What truly distinguishes Richard is his passion and enthusiasm for spreading not just the joy of music, but its myriad benefits. He is our greatest musical educator, and his life's work – alongside his other roles – has been advocating music in our education system, and furthering the development of those who've gone on to choose music as a vocation. He brings music to life, and his knowledge and deep enjoyment of his subject is as inspiring and enlightening to a class of primary school students as it is to the cast of a major opera.
Give Me Excess of It is Richard's memoir, tracing his life from school days to the highs (and lows) of conducting and directing an opera company. It's warm, extremely funny, highly opinionated, occasionally rude (where warranted) and always sublimely full of the love of music."

I'm Adam and chaos is a friend of mine. All the truths of the world add up to on big lie, is what they say. Maybe they're right. Maybe not. I don't know, but what I do know is everything about my kind of music, indie. I like the Elephant Six Collective, among many other things. Many people say music is their life, I will not utter such a cliché. Life constitutes of breathing and eating and all that jazz. My life requires a big chunk of thinking, I do that a lot. I think about travel, and literature, foreign cinema, politics, and other things. I speak three languages fluently-- English, Arabic, and French. California is home, Massachusetts is residence, the Levant is ancestry, Europe is wanderlust. You may come across things I write, if that happens ignore them. They resemble my personality all too much.
"All I can do is be me, whoever that is."
So it goes.
