American Prospect
Magazine | Independent
The American Prospect is a monthly magazine "of liberal ideas, committed to a just society, an enriched democracy, and effective liberal politics"[1] which focuses on U.S. politics and public policy. Roughly speaking, its politics are to the left of The New Republic and to the right of The Nation. The magazine was founded in 1990 by Robert Kuttner, Robert Reich, and Paul Starr as a response to the intellectual ascendancy of conservatism in the 1980s. Originally it published quarterly, then bimonthly. In 2000, thanks to a grant from the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, it became ... More » (Source: Wikipedia)

If you are considering reassigning participants, contact the AFI Resource Center for assistance.
Reassigning Participants Among Your AFI Projects
Many AFI grantees receive multiple program grants, requiring them to manage and budget for multiple AFI projects simultaneously. In such a case, a grantee may decide to transfer an IDA participant from one project to another. This is a common practice, and grantees considering it should review the official Information Memorandum (IM) which details official policy on the topic.
Read the entire IM to understand the process of reassigning participants among AFI projects. To complement that policy document, below is an overview of why, when, and how to transfer IDA savers.
Why Reassign
Reassigning participants can help maximize use of each AFI award. A grantee with multiple projects should plan to use all the Federal funds available for each grant. If the grantee is spending funds more quickly from one grant than another (one project may have a lower retention rate, for example), it might make sense to transfer participants to the lower spending project.
A grantee might also transfer an IDA participant who needs more savings time to a grant with a later end date.
Restrictions on Reassigning
When to Reassign During the Participant's Saving Period
A grantee with multiple AFI projects overlapping should consider waiting to assign participants to specific projects when they open their IDAs.
The grantee would still need to be certain that there are, across all its projects, match funds available for each participant's asset purchase when the time comes. The grantee should determine eligibility for its projects, but assign participants to a specific project only when they are ready to make their purchase, having completed saving, financial education, and any other requirements. If it is easiest, the grantee may wait to assign participants until just before the final asset purchase.
With this strategy, the grantee can maintain flexibility, maximize use of available funds, and avoid the additional tracking and documentation associated with a transfer.
If a grantee has assigned a participant to a specific project from the start, it can still reassign the participant before the final asset purchase if the grantee believes it will enhance outcomes for both projects.
Who Can Be Reassigned
What Happens to the Match Money Designated for a Reassigned Participant
Because the grantee must reassign a participant before he or she makes an asset purchase, the move will not immediately affect the disbursements from either Project Reserve Fund. When the participant actually makes the asset purchase under the new project, the funds will come from the Reserve Fund for that project. Grantees can never move Federal dollars from one Reserve Fund to another. Reassignment may, however, free up Federal and non-Federal match funds for a different saver.
Remember, a grantee must always have at least as many non-Federal funds deposited as it has Federal funds drawn down, across all its projects.
There may be cases where the grantee can move non-Federal funds from one Project Reserve Fund to another. If a reassignment leaves unspent, unobligated non-Federal dollars in the original Project Reserve, the grantee may move those funds to another project. In such a case, the grantee and its financial partner(s) should consider balances, drawdowns, obligations, expenditures, and remaining project time to make sure the transfer of funds would be an effective move.
How Reassignment Affects Reporting
A grantee should account for each asset purchase in the reports on the Project Reserve Fund to which the participant was assigned at the time. The purchase, Federal and non-Federal expenditures, amount of savings used, match funds used, and other related information should be captured in the financial report, data report, and any narrative reports specific to that Reserve Fund.
If a participant was included in a data or narrative report for a project that he or she was later transferred out of, the next reports would show deductions from one project and additions to the second in applicable areas. Such changes would affect the totals of each project before the asset purchase takes place.
The rules and reasons for reassignments can be hard to understand in the abstract. Use this example to help grasp how the process often works:
An IDA saver, "Sarah," is already assigned to a project and has met her goal of saving $1,000 for a first home. However, she has not yet found the right property and could use extra time to improve her credit. The AFI project provides $4,000 in Federal and non-Federal match. The grantee finds that within Sarah's original project, more participants are meeting their savings goals and qualifying for matched withdrawals than originally expected. Another project has lower retention and completion rates.
The grantee may reassign Sarah to the other project, whether it is older or newer than the original one. The grantee reallocates the funds obligated for Sarah in the original Project Reserve Fund to match the savings of another participant, "Jack." After reassigning Sarah, the grantee obligates funds for her in the other Reserve Fund.
The transfer will have no effect on the grantee's financial reports until either Sarah or Jack makes his or her asset purchase. The grantee will include the expenditures from the relevant Reserve Fund in its next financial report. It would also note the reassignment and asset purchase in the annual data report and narrative reports.

Looks like we are both going to the Mongo meetup tonight. H2Ometrics is recruiting for a local position for two full time software developers (link and more info below). I was wondering if you know of anyone who might be interested in our opening? Or if you could recommend outlets in the bay area to help fill these positions? Let me know if you think it would be worthwhile to connect and chat a bit at the mongo meetup. Take care.

Chicago greeted Theo Epstein with great fanfare, hailing him as the savior of a championship starved North Side. Only 28 when he was hired as Red Sox GM in 2003, after Billy Beane, one of the first executives to rely on sabermetrics almost exclusively, turned down John Henry's largesse, Epstein broke the Curse of the Bambino in two years.
The Curse of the Goat will be chewing more Wrigley grass longer than that.
For one thing, Epstein happened a club with its core intact. Manny Ramirez was an RBI machine; Pedro Martinez was the best pitcher in baseball at the time; Nomar Garciaparra was at least a top three shortstop, behind Alex Rodriguez and Miguel Tejada. All he needed to do was smartly add to Boston's deficiencies — another high strikeout power pitcher (Curt Schilling), a good bat at designated hitter, more than eclipsed by David Ortiz; a solid third base defender, a need he filled at a very low cost (Bill Mueller, whose batting title more than paid for his contract; and a shutdown closer, finding it through free agency when he signed Keith Foulke, then the owner of the nastiest change up in baseball, without apologies to Trevor Hoffman.
Epstein excels at finding value in junk, and a combination of luck and smarts landed him all star caliber regulars to combine with an already solid core of holdovers.
He had no such luxury when he took the Cubs gig. Jed Hoyer, pirated from that minor league team in San Diego, had a more promising outlook, even with a penniless enterprise.
The previous Cubs regime spent too much money on unsustainable veterans, overpaying Alfonso Soriano, Ryan Dempster and Carlos Zambrano, while neglecting a rotting minor league system that has failed to produce an all star apart from Zambrano since Dusty Baker destroyed Mark Prior and Kerry Wood's arms.
Restocking farm systems is easy when you've got enough veteran pieces or cheap, club-controlled major leaguers coveted by teams gunning for contention.
But Soriano has been on a three-year decline, and entering his age 36 season will still be paid an outrageous $18 million for THREE MORE YEARS. He can't play defense, even if he tried this time, His body is breaking down. Three bucks says that Dominican birth certificate had taken a three-year leap back in time. He's not getting any better, his bat speed is dead on arrival, and an analysis on his swings suggest he's been cheating on fastballs. Sure, he's got power whenever he connects, making him a good veteran source for extra base hits, whenever it happens. But the way he's getting paid, until he's 38, suggests he's an investment in diminishing returns. Or Dominican Returns, implying the quick drop-offs from peak to decline in Dominican developed ball players. Chicago has shown a willingness to eat money, already paying $15 million, $17 million combined to go with Chris Volstad's contract, to make Carlos Zambrano go away.
It doesn't matter. Even sunny day Cubs fans recognize that Soriano, like Zambrano, needs to go. It's not because he's a crappy clubhouse presence. Far from it. But he's a rusted luxury item the Cubs don't need in as it rebuilds. The team could flip him to a DH-hungry AL club, assume a large portion of his remaining contract, and maybe even get a major league piece in return.
However marginal, any left fielder the Cubs could land in a deal involving Soriano — I'd be very shocked if Epstein wrangles even a middling starting prospect for him — is better, even just as a psychological relief. The Los Angels of Anaheim reportedly showed interest in Soriano before pouncing on Albert Pujols. At the moment, the Baltimore Orioles look to be a logical fit. It could happen too, given Dan Duquette's affinity for veteran power.
Consider the Cubs lucky if Epstein and Hoyer are able to get rid of Soriano at all, given the low demand for declining sluggers sitting on long term deals. The Houston Astros have never been able to rid itself of Carlos Lee, a useful power hitter but a black hole for errors in the field. Generally, teams don't want to incur more than a one-year commitment with aging sluggers with limited to no defensive skills.
In the meantime, Epstein and Hoyer have been stockpiling on young, cheap starter types, acquiring Travis Wood in a win-win trade with the Reds for lefty reliever Sean Marshall, Chris Volstad from the Miami Marlins for Zambrano, while agreeing to terms with groundballing lefty Paul Maholm.
Matt Garza may or may not be on the block, but he's a better long-term gamble than John Danks, who received a $65 million, five-year extension to stay with the Chicago Cubs. He blossomed into an ace halfway through the season in Chicago, and he's indicated every desire to stay. In any case, Epstein doesn't have to trade Garza, and should only do so for a package of high yield prospects. The Tigers have dangled top pitching prospect Jacob Turner, and the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees have the right pieces to land Garza as well.
Reacquiring Anthony Rizzo, traded between three GMs who stem from the same Epstein/Lucchino tree in one year, gives Chicago a slugger to hope for. Word is Rizzo could blossom into a Joey Votto-type on base machine, and Hoyer admitted he rushed Rizzo into the majors. Wrigley Field would be kinder to Rizzo's bat, so don't expect him to cede too much time to 29-year-old rookie Bryan LaHair, a career minor leaguer expected to hold down the fort until Rizzo gets called up in late May. The Cubs have nothing to lose here, and it doesn't make sense to commit to another $10 million or more deal to bring back Carlos Pena. LaHair could even become a good regular player, a 2.0 to 3.0 bWAR first baseman, although it's hard to imagine him stealing it away from Rizzo.
Trading live arm Andrew Cashner, a former first round pick, to get Rizzo was a break from the Epstein/Hoyer pattern of hoarding cheap pitchers. In the past, Epstein would jump on former first round picks who haven't quite worked out. Giving up on Cashner means the oft-injured power pitcher doesn't mean he'd instantly flop. The Cubs had to give something to get something, and it speaks to how high Epstein values Rizzo.
We'll see.
Shit always happens in the North Side, but for now, everything's coming up roses. Just expect the goat to chew on it by mid-summer of this year, when the Cubs are out of contention. And that's fine. The Cubs need high draft picks, an avenue where Epstein and his team excel in the most.

Hi folks!
Those of you following my main blog already know this—but for those of you who're just following this one (…are there any of you just following this one?):
I've been offered a place at GA Tech, and of course, of course I accepted — this was my first choice, so I am ridiculously, overwhelmingly excited.
So this blog (if I think to continue it - I may end up doing a wordpress thing instead?) is henceforth going to be about that.
if i ever catch my professor's eyes while they lecture, I always end up nodding at them, partly because i want them to think im listening and partly because I feel that they need the confidence boost
Students who do that are my favorite students.
(via eatyonomnoms)
Haha oh my gosh my evolution professor is so sweet and supportive and I just want to hug her??
So the running theme when people give me feedback on my statement of purpose for grad school is this:
*vague gesturing at summary of research* "I have no idea what any of this means. But I'm impressed!"
I hope the committees feel the same way. :|
There is nothing like a completely free application for a 30,000/yr fellowship to make you feel inadequate and to make you second-guess every. fucking. word.
Welp. I'll be talking with Potential Advisor #1 via Skype next Wednesday morning. I AM SUPER EXCITED and only a little bit nervous. Mostly I want to flail at him about his project.
I have made leaps and bounds in my progress studying for my mol bio class! AND IT IS SUPER INTERESTING OH MY GOSH.
My (English) grad professor is making at least one crack a week at me about being a science major. Bring it, dude.
Now I have to write a proposal. I have been putting off this proposal FOR TOO LONG.
…I do kinda want to go to sleep, though.
But I told my PI I'd have this proposal to him by Fridaaaay. Ergh.

Cities in Motion Review (PC)
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Mar 08, 2011 15:35
Deep down inside, I love sim/management games. Cities in Motion tapped into that and pulled on the heartstrings of nostalgia at the same time. But in the end the frustration and lack of feel of progress made it more like work than a fun management simulator.
The game sets you into several historic European cities including Berlin, Helsinki, Vienna or Amsterdam (and Tutorial Town) between 1920 and 2020 a time when cities began booming and public transportation became vital. Since I have been to two of the towns included in the game it was sort of cool to be able to play them.
In the campaign mode you start off in Berlin, which already had some existing infrastructure that you need to work to improve, expand and update. Periodically the game gives you some goals to be attained like creating a line from point A to point B and transporting a certain number of passengers to some destination. Interspersed with this is the need to keep the company reputation and finances in order. This is done by making sure the passengers are happy, prices are adjusted accordingly and the company has enough funds to continue on with the task at hand.
The game offers a typical top-down view with the camera being able to rotate 45 degrees at a time so you can always see what you are working on. Even then it's frustrating to try and delete something and I often deleted a track when I wanted to delete a stop. You have to be zoomed in quite close in order to make it as easy as possible and even then it seems the slightest tick of motion and you'll miss. But it's a minor annoyance at best.

Chemosis is swelling of the tissue that lines the eyelids and surface of the eye (conjunctiva).
Alternative Names
Fluid-filled conjunctiva; Swollen eye or conjunctiva
Chemosis is a sign of eye irritation. The outer surface of the eye looks like it has fluid in it. Often, the eye area swells so much that you can't close your eyes properly.
Chemosis is often related to allergies or an eye infection. Chemosis can also be a complication of eye surgery, or it may occur from rubbing the eye too much.
Common Causes
- Angioedema
- Allergic reaction
- Bacterial infection (conjunctivitis)
- Viral infection (conjunctivitis)
Home Care
Over-the-counter antihistamines and cool compresses placed on the eyes may help relieve symptoms due to allergies.
If symptoms continue, or if you have a painful and red eye, see your health care provider.
Call your health care provider if
Call your health care provider if:
- Your symptoms do not go away
- You have other symptoms, such as eye pain, change in vision, difficulty breathing, or fainting
What to expect at your health care provider's office
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms, which may include:
- When did it start?
- How long does the swelling last?
- How bad is the swelling?
- How much is the eye swollen?
- What, if anything, makes it better or worse?
- What other symptoms do you have? (For example, breathing problems)
Your health care provider may prescribe an eye medication to reduce swelling and treat any conditions that may be causing the chemosis.

An qualified SUPER-star, that's Star. Look at the size of those jugs. UNBELIEVABLE! They weigh 21 pounds total. She lives and works in the Los Angeles, California area. We would like to get Star to do a lot more posing, but, she doesn't really think that professional modeling is the lifestyle for her. We received an e-mail from an XL member who swears to God that he used to work for a computer company a few years back and that Star was his co-worker. He's positive it was her. If not, maybe she's got a sister?

"I used to be very concerned about my image, but not anymore. If my conscience is clear, I'll do what I feel is right.

My mum says I'm a very good actor 'cos I've fooled people into thinking I'm this good Mummy's boy."

A word from Dry Creek Kitchen
If this country has a culinary cradle, it's in Northern Sonoma, where the fruits of local labor—from outstanding produce to handcrafted cheese—have never been on a plane. Drawing upon regional ingredients is a superior way to eat and one can taste the freshness in Chef de Cuisine Dustin Valette's Dry Creek Kitchen specialties. You can also experience the regional abundance in the six-course, wine-trail tasting menu, featuring "neighborhood" food and wine pairings.Continued
Dry Creek Kitchen's wine cellar reflects the area's celebrated appellations, featuring more than 600 Sonoma wines with vintages ranging from 1985 to 2007 and a particular emphasis on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Meritage Blends.
Charlie Palmer's long standing commitment to wine manifests itself in his one-of-kind-collection drawing from the private libraries and cellars of the area's winemakers.

- SuperbDiningaroundVIPDined on 9/28/2014Our second visit to D.C.Kitchen (2012 previous). Looking forward to this on our last night in Sonoma, and it fulfilled all expectations. I love the openness of this dining room, with doors opening onto Healdsburg Ave. I'm a longtime fan of Charlie Palmer's Aureole in NYC, and D.C.K. lives up to his high reputation. Impeccable, super-attentive service. My duck breast was a lovely tender pink, as requested. Ahi tuna appetizer just right: fresh, crunchy, beautifully dressed. Really, you can't go wrong here. If you bring in your own Sonoma wine (as we did), there's no corkage charge. Not cheap (of course) but well worth every penny.Special Features:
- overratedMollyDined on 9/27/2014Perhaps the most well known restaurant in Healdsburg, the overall experience here was just OK. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and the service was first rate, but the meal was just fair. The steaks were small, thin and dry, nothing like we were used to in the NY steak houses. The wine recommended by the sommalier was lousy. The salads were ordinary. The vegetables ane appetizers were however quite good, and the desert were the best part of the meal. While I wouldn't call this a bad experience, it was a disappointment. There are better choices in Healdsburg.Special Features:
- Outstanding in every wayOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/24/2014One of the best experiences every much less in Healdsburg alone. Should be rated above its neighbors, Scopa, Baci,... Service and wine pairings second to none. Not to be missed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding EveningenjoyurlifeDined on 9/23/2014I dined on their outdoor patio and had the 4 course menu with wine pairing. The setting, the meal, the service - all outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic time.LauraDined on 9/23/2014We had a wonderful experience at Dry Creek Kitchen. This is a repeat visit that we have been anticipating for quite a while. The scallops en croute are sensational and the truffle risotto is euphoric. Excellent service, beautiful room, extensive wine list.Special Features:
- Loved the restaurant and the serverOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/22/2014We were lost and they helped us find the return with a well drawn map. It was a lovely experience except for the long waits between courses. Very nice time however. We would return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A real gemHealdsburgerVIPDined on 9/22/2014Dry Creek Kitchen always provides a top notch dining experience. Great food, service, and atmosphere. I am never disappointed. If you want to really experience the best of wine country dining, this is a must. A dedicated and caring staff makes all the difference!Special Features:
- dry creek kitchen is slippingOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/20/2014This is a special occasion restaurant as well as a good local hang out but it is slipping gradually more and more. Our table was not ready so we went to the bar for a drink. The waiter came about 10 minutes later to say it was ready and he just walked out. In the past they would have carried the drinks to the table for us as a courtesy. The waiter was inside watching as we opened the front door ourselves with drinks in hand. Look, not a big deal right but for a top class restaurant that is not top class. Those drinks could have been dropped and then what; glass clean up? Table service was good and meal quality good but the attention to details is slipping.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Elegant lunch in HealdsburgHungryfoodieVIPDined on 9/13/2014My husband and I booked lunch at The Dry Creek Kitchen on the recommendation of our favorite winery. This was our first trip to Sonoma. The restaurant is very modern and beautiful. We picked our seat in the open air tables. We selected a Chardonnay and were given two very generous pours of wine. My husband had an "outstanding" chicken paillard and I had mini wagyu beef burgers. My burgers melted in my mouth and were the perfect base before visiting some wineries! Our waitress suggested we try the peanut butter chocolate dessert and we were not disappointed. The staff was very polite. My only criticism would be that our meal was not inexpensive. It was a special splurge that we thoroughly enjoyed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service, terrible foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014If you want to get wasted on their scallops app, it's a pretty good deal, straight uncooked white wolf vodka poured right into your $20 app, awesome! The chicken was wedding food and the duck was undercooked/cold with nasty syrup and oil poured on top. Horrible combination, zero acidity and a challenge to eat. The positive was our service. I feel bad for the great servers who have to pretend that this joke of a restaraunt produces good food. Our server was on it, very attentive and did the best she good with a below par product. Never coming back, spend your money somewhere better.
- Still great.P424Dined on 9/12/2014Everything was terrific from the first hello through the "enjoy the rest of your evening" - no complaints. While expensive, the value for money was much greater than some of the other "name" restaurants in town. Nice to know that whatever time of year it is the experience will be the same.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful birthday dinner.KerenVIPDined on 9/9/2014Visited Dry Creek Kitchen for my birthday. We all enjoyed our meals very much. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. They even brought a little sparkler (beverage) to begin the meal, and then a real sparkler with our desserts. It was lovely. We shall return.Special Features:
- Always WOW'dYoliVIPDined on 9/6/2014Friends came to town from back East and of course, we took them to our favorite spot, Dry Creek Kitchen! Dinner was excellent. We like to start with the salumi and then go on to an appetizer and main course. Everything was excellent and so fresh. Sauces were delicious! They wow'd all of us with a glass of sparkly, small amuse b.. and a lovely plate of goodies for dessert, even though we were too full for dessert. We left with a lovely package of chocolates. The sommelier, Courtney was very helpful, Drew, the General Manager, greeted us and checked in mid-dinner to be sure we were satisfied and our waiter (don't remember his name) was delightful. Thank you again for a great experience!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Ordered the 3-course and 5-course set dinners and shared everything as it was so delicious. The soup was especially memorable and the staff were 100% attentive and personable. They even made a personalized dessert with my name inscribed - how thoughtful! We also loved that we could bring a wine we bought that day at a local winery and they don't charge a corkage fee to open it.Special Features:

- Lunch Experience was OutstandingFoodieDined on 8/10/2014My husband and I had Lunch at DCK for the first time in several years. We live in Healdsburg and have dinner there from time to time and, sometimes, have been disappointed in the food which can be inconsistent. No disappointments at our recent lunch. We both remarked that the menu is very good--several options were quite appealing. My husband loved the sweet corn soup saying that it was one of the best soups he has ever had. I was also very happy with the waygu beef sliders. Many restaurants serve beef sliders and I thought these compared very favorably with the best. The service and ambience are always exceptional. This time the food was a match.Special Features:
- Consistently Healdsburg's BestTrumpetGuyVIPDined on 8/8/2014Make no mistake, DCK is not a cheap date and for most, not an every-day venue. That said, it is worth every cent - dining excellence on all levels with reasonable options offered with the 4 course tasting menu. First and foremost, the flavors, aromas, presentations are all world class with no false notes and nothing overwrought. The service is impeccable but not stiff, befitting a wine country ambiance. The wine list is comprised exclusively of Sonoma county bottles and the price range runs nicely from the high $30s upwards. The Sommelier was extremely helpful narrowing down our choices to best suit our meal - don't be afraid to ask for her assistance. Dessert offerings were exquisite on the plate and palate, not too much. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Better to avoidFoodythoughtsVIPDined on 8/1/2014We went out 10 nights and unfortunately for business reasons ended up way here 3 times. All three times the food was late, not fresh and the service was horrendous. There are so many other great options in the area to not have to spend your money on bad food and bad service at this establishment. Sometimes luxury places simply don't know how to do it. This is one of those places that is best to avoid. Take this coming from a foody!!! Good luck.Special Features:

We were fortunate to sit outside on the patio but the inside dining looked beautiful as well. Every course was spectacular with attention to detail noted.

Two APS teachers named in the devastating state CRCT cheating report have been cleared, which I have to imagine will allow them to sleep better at night.
The clearing of Kiatonya Wormley of Miles Elementary and Lori Dewberry of Jackson Elementary and their return to work reminds us that everyone named in the state cheating investigation has to have a chance to respond to the charges.
The two teachers were among 180 educators implicated in the report, including five high-ranking administrators. If the cheating allegations are upheld, the educators could lose their license to teach and some may also face criminal charges and termination.
The reversal doesn't mean the report's remaining findings are flawed, said former state Attorney General Mike Bowers, one the special investigators who worked on the probe.
"We were trying to do justice, but to be just," Bowers said. "Where we are shown we have made a mistake, or read things incorrectly, we are open to revisions. But that cuts both ways."
Three additional educators were implicated after the report's July release, Bowers said.
Special investigator Bob Wilson, who also worked on the case, said questions came up regarding these two teachers, but he couldn't recall what specific information led to the change in their status. But, he said, after reviewing the evidence investigators felt comfortable the two teachers should be removed from the list.
Michael McGonigle, legal services director for the Georgia Association of Educators, said APS made the right decision by reinstating the teachers. He maintains the report has inaccuracies. "The report paints in these broad strokes," he said. "And now we have two confirmed cases where, upon review, the report was unsubstantiated, legally speaking."

This is the point that I made to Erroll Davis and the school board when I spoke on July 7, 2011. Some teachers are indeed innocent. Therefore, every vestige of due process needs to be adhered to. Congratulations to Ms. Wormley and Ms. Dewberry.
You can view my speech before the school board. It is in the MACE Live TV section of the MACE Website.
I also wrote about this in my personal blog.

Two out of 180 that's almost statistically insignificant. I can only imagine from what I have been reading, that most teachers were forced into compromising their integrity. Hopefully more teachers will be cleared.
Unfortunately the real culprits, Augustine and Hall will be cleared, as they have access to noted defense attorneys.

Dr. John Trotter:
Well-said, per usual, Dr. John.
Smith parent:
With few notable exceptions, among them John P. (Jack) Batson in Augusta, we have the best legal system money can buy, don't we?
We have too many prostituting shysters (and charlatans for that matter), but too few professionals doing their duty out of a strong sense of its moral, ethical and pragmatic value.
September 29th, 2011
7:17 am
I agree with Dr. Trotter in making the same statements, all that were accused are entitled to due process. If you look back at the blogs when this initially was reported, many wanted to throw the book at all of the accused, without giving them a chance to be heard. I believe that in an anxious attempt to identify educators that were involved in cheating, innocent ones were inadvertently caught in the net.
I hope there remains diligence in reporting both those that are cleared along with those determined to be guilty. Let's also hope those that are cleared can get their reputations back.

Did my comment get caught in the filter???
September 29th, 2011
7:22 am
This is the reason I was disturbed to read that Mr. Davis suspended all teachers named in the scandal. Not only was he passing judgement before all the facts were known, he left many students without teachers. Not a good situation either way. This was one move of Erroll Davis' that I disagreed with.
September 29th, 2011
7:45 am
I agree with Dr. Trotter, all employees are entitled to due process. As a recall reading blogs from when this was originally reported, many were happy to see the accused suspended before giving them an opportunity to be heard. I read some of the report and came away wondering if the standard for the accusation had been reached in some of the cases.
I hope their is just as much diligence in reporting about those that were cleared as we do for those educators found of wrongdoing. I also hope those that are cleared can get their reputations back.
September 29th, 2011
8:28 am
I'm happy to hear that they were able to return to the classroom. I've always said that not everyone is guilty. I'm sure there will be more, but the reality is that the majority cheated. I will be happy to get through this process and move forward. There is much to be done in APS.

Dr. John Trotter :
"Some teachers are indeed innocent."
Not to comment on these two teachers specifically, but remember, not having enough to convict someone of wrong doing does not mean innocent.

I guess you didn't read the article above closely. "Three additional educators were implicated after the report's July release, Bowers said."
Also, if you've been reading the entries by "APS 4th grade teacher & a Proud Cheater!" for the last few blogs, it's quite apparent that many teachers weren't caught who should have been.

The following entry sure sounds like "APS 4th Grade Teacher & Proud of it!," except it isn't as high-minded. It's from the Aug. 31 blog thread, "NCLB: Conspiracy."
"Guilty APS Teacher and PROUD OF IT!" September 1st, 2011, 5:01 pm. I cheated last year by pointing to correct answers as I walked throughout the room. I will continue to help struggling students choose the right answers until I am no longer evaluated based on my children's scores. Low scores mean I get placed on a professional development plan with targets. We have no other choice and I do not feel as though I have committed a crime.
It's easy to say find another job. Oh yea, where? Especially one that pays a decent salary, offers health benefits and has hours that allow for a family life. Besides teaching is what I spent 7 years (Master's plus 30) of my life preparing for, because it is what I truly wanted to do."

You're really have a forensic spin about your pursuits. I do hope the keystone cop reference didn't go to your head; it was meant only in jest.
To narrow the field for you I teach in SRT-4, on the North side at a school viewed positively by many for years. Parents have clamored to have their children in my classroom.
My standard for care and learning has always been what I would want for my child. I can assure you that my child has always been in a setting that is intellectually stimulating, and child-centered. I would accept nothing less, and it's what all children deserve.
I can only imagine, considering your attention to detail, that you would be pleased to have your child in my classroom.

@ APS 4th grade Teacher & a Proud Cheater! Not pleased if you erase her NCRC scores or indicate the correct answers to her so she gets promoted without knowing the subject matter.
Whether or not you teach on the North side or in a Title I school in Southwest Atlanta where 80% of the children qualify for reduced lunches, you have been justifying behavior by educators that is indefensible: cheating on the CRCT so that unprepared students get promoted anyway.
The consequences are terrible for the students, and also the taxpayers who must find $1 million-plus in the budget to pay for 1) students' remediation, 2) the salaries until trial of the teachers indicted of cheating, and 3) repayment of federal funds to APS from 2001-2010. Your smug self-righteousness is really galling to me and I'm sure many other citizens of Atlanta.

So these two teachers were in the group that were urged to quit before it was proven whether they cheated or not?

Hope Hall and Augustine get their just criminal rewards as not only did they cheat the children of Atlanta, they changed the culture of APS to a cruel corrupt work environment by employing pure thugs and gangsters to mistreat masses of good employees for an entire decade. Every year was worst than the last just as the citizens of Newark, New Jersey warned it would be.

@Dunwoody Mom, You are absolutely correct about the hasty decisions made by King Erroll Davis. He should have waited on a formal internal investigation and due process. In the meantime, I have allowed for 7 of Atlanta's Principals on Administrative Leave to do volunteer work in my school district supporting some of the novice principals. They are unbelievably knowledgeable and well-trained. These experts should not be at home. I suggest that more superintendents from neighboring counties follow my lead and take advantage of the King's mistake. I have read the report three times and each time it gets more and more comical! It is full of speculation. We taxpayers have been tricked once again by the powers that be! I live within the city and I am just down right annoyed to learn that there are mistakes in this national report that has ruined the lives of educators and painted a scarring picture of what our future holds.

Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Brett Jackson tripled twice and Luis Valbuena homered in the second inning to help the Chicago Cubs cruise past the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 11-2, on Saturday in spring training action.
Chicago starter Travis Wood picked up the win, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over two innings. The Cubs used a five-run third inning to take control of the contest, while the team's remaining pitchers threw seven innings of scoreless baseball.
Erick Aybar and Hank Conger each knocked in a run in the first inning, and reliever Nick Maronde picked up the loss, allowing three runs and two hits.

I didn't have any feta, but it was fine without it. Double the dressing even if you don't use all of it because a pound of angel hair makes a lot of pasta for this small amount of dressing. The addition of the orange provided an interesting sweetness to the shrimp.

Are you talking about how people often RP mundane, ordinary life things (hanging out, relationships, family drama) rather than BIGGER THAN LIFE plot-lines?
LynMars has it pretty much correct, imo. Azeroth is full of enough GRAND stories that it's often difficult, or even tiresome, to make your character a part of big/grandiose plot-lines.
My character is a baker and it's incredibly ordinary -- errands, chores, making deliveries. She has enough "BIG" stuff that she participates in on a regular basis (built-in Azeroth storylines via dailies, raids/dungeons) that it seems more normal for her to just be attempting to live a regular life in the midst of all of that. So, I spend more time focusing on her personal struggles, relationships, etc. That isn't to say that she doesn't participate in BIG storylines when necessary -- it's just not something I seek out. I think that she is an extremely well-rounded, believable character in what is often a larger-than-life world, and I think my focus on "boring/normal" stuff whether it's romantic RP or just daily life RP is what contributes to that.

We got up late after a fitful sleep! Headed off to the Nasa Space Center. Amazing history of space travel and lots of fun things for the kids. A real live space shuttle on site, gives perspective on its immense size and the how astronauts can make there way to space. Precision is a must! What a great day!

The holiday season's in full swing, and between all the shopping, baking, and cleaning on your To-Do list this month -- on top of work, kids, laundry, and all your other 365-day-a-year responsibilities -- you might find yourself reaching for that Chinese take-out menu a bit more often than usual.
But never fear: holiday gatherings at restaurants and take-out on busy weeknights don't have to derail your healthy eating habits this season. While it's always ideal to prepare a nutritious home-cooked meal chock-full of grains and greens, who has the time when there are retail bargains to score, travel plans to arrange, and in-laws to entertain?
There's no need to feel guilty about letting someone else do the cooking (for a change). I'm living proof: I managed to lose 90 pounds while continuing to dine out -- or order in -- at least three times a week. Here's how you can do it, too.
1.) Do your homework. Spend some time Googling your go-to restaurant and take-out options to learn exactly how they're prepared -- better yet, many restaurants and fast food chains post nutritional information their websites, or you can find it on sites like Calorie King or Diet Facts.
While a Chinese restaurant's chicken with broccoli is a calorie bargain at around 250 per cup, General Tso's chicken (which is deep fried) can pack a whopping 1,000 calories and 40 grams of fat per serving. You may think you made the virtuous choice with the chef's salad at the local diner, but add up the calories, saturated fat, and sodium in the deli meat, dressing, croutons, eggs, and cheese, and you might as well have ordered the cheeseburger.
2.) Beware hidden fat traps. When I sit down with a menu and start perusing meal descriptions, I know there are words that, loosely translated, mean "don't even think about it." Some of these food preparation descriptors include: fried, breaded, creamed, smothered, alfredo, battered, au gratin, crispy, and scalloped.
On the other hand, you can just as easily search for words that indicate the meal is prepared in a much more waistline-friendly way, such as grilled, steamed, baked, lean, braised, sauteed, poached, or broiled.
3.) Plan ahead. Many girls' night out crises have been averted because I took the time to map out what I wanted in advance. Even fast food chains have better-for-you options these days, but you'll probably miss them if you wait until you're at the drive-thru with six cars honking behind you or succumb to peer pressure when your friends want to share the cheesy spinach and artichoke dip. But if you've already determined the healthiest options on the menu -- and committed to the shrimp cocktail or fruit sorbet -- it really does make it that much easier to say "no, thanks."
4.) Open up your mouth. No waiter has ever refused to make alterations or substitutions to my order, or to ask the chef how something is prepared. I may be one of those people now -- the kind who peppers the waiter with questions and makes several special requests -- but at least I know I'm saving hundreds of calories by not being afraid to ask for sauces on the side, extra veggies and less cheese on my pizza, wheat pasta instead of white, to hold the mayo, butter, or oil, or to swap a side of curly fries for a baked potato.
5.) Size matters. When it comes to meals you haven't prepared yourself, it's just as important how much you eat as it is what you eat. Some people ask for a take-out box with their meal to get half the food out of their sight before they even begin eating, but I find it a bit less look-at-me-I'm-on-a-diet to physically divide the food on my plate. Our waistlines continue to expand right along with restaurant portion sizes, but simple things like putting down your fork between bites, or opting for the petite cut of sirloin over the 16-ounce prime rib can go a long way in making sure you're not mistaken for Santa Claus on the 25th.
What are some of your strategies for making healthy choices while dining out or ordering in?

These are all the things i have been doing this year and i have lost about 20 lbs. you can almost always find something healthy wherever you go you ust have to find it. :)
