|Tomcat version with a working Apache connector?
|Tue, 29 Jan 2002 20:16:37 GMT
We've been unable to get Tomcat 4.0.1 to work with Apache 1.3.20, apparently because of this bug in Tomcat's connector for Apache: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5220 In our setup, we cannot reboot Apache at the appropriate times in order to work around this bug. The bug appears to be fixed in CVS: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/webapp/lib/wa_request.c However, we've been unable to get the CVS code to compile. We can't wait for Tomcat 4.0.2; we desperately need to deploy our web application now. Is there a version of Tomcat that has a working connector for Apache?

DARIA /Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou
This is a lovely riddle song originally all in Yiddish. Since many of my audiences do not speak Yiddish, I wrote two verses in English that tell the story of the song. A young man wants to meet a beautiful and clever girl, so he devises tricky questions. Not only can the girl answer his questions, but she outsmarts him and they fall in love. All while the balalaika plays "tum", "tum".

Your SAP developer creates and modifies programs using Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP), which is SAP's own programming language. Also, some SAP projects are written using programs like Java and Visual Basic. SAP developers should understand business requirements and maintain a standard where the implemented code conforms to them. To ensure that implemented code meets specifications for interfaces, SAP developers often collaborate with data consultants to write code. Your SAP developer should understand mobile workflows, product architecture, data change notification and push, database administration, and troubleshooting. Candidates well-qualified for this role are in high demand.
Your SAP developer should possess a Bachelor or Master of Science degree in computer science, business administration, business engineering, or another pertinent field. Industry-specific knowledge in such areas as business or finance will be an asset in your SAP developer. SAP certifications are a plus, but they are no substitute for experience. These certifications carry more weight as a professional climbs the ladder of success and the certification criterion become harder to meet. Advancement for your SAP developer should require business, communication, and project management skills.
Salaries for SAP developers in North America are well above average. See our IT Salary Guide for more information.

We can't multitask and there's a load of research that shows that when we try to we don't end up with great results. And yet in our age of distraction, it is hard not to do it. We sit down to write, our phone buzzes with a new message, we look down, we skip a song on Spotify, we go back to writing--it can get complicated fast. Our brains are changing because of these habits and somehow I suspect its not for the better. As Christians, we have a call to contemplation--this may not be a call you … [Read more...]

Banksy, Jesus, and Emergency Preparedness: The First Sunday in Advent
Over at the Ekklesia Project's blog I have a new post reflecting on the gospel reading for this first Sunday in Advent. Below is the start with the full text after the jump.Preparing for DisasterFirst Sunday of Advent, Year C (RCL) 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 Luke 21:25-36We've become all too familiar with disasters and the whole genre of reporting them (is there a disaster TV cable channel yet?). The reporter, looking like some alien that dropped from the sky, surrounded by a lan … [Read more...]
Prayer Walk
It's that time of year--the busy time and we haven't even begun Advent. It is important that in these days of holiday rush, we remember to slow down, take stock and call Christ's presence into the places we are. Today, go on a prayer walk. Walk through your neighborhood and pray over each house, the people inside, and ask that Christ be present with these people and this place throughout the advent season. Pray that God's coming into the world would be a coming here. … [Read more...]
Exercise: A Different Track
Last night Gail knocked on the door. She needed a ride, end of the month, no food and there was a church that could help. We offered her some of our food, but she said that she had some special needs and just needed a ride to the church. So off we went, on a rainy night through the streets of downtown Little Rock. The church she though could help didn't have what she needed, so she suggested another church, but at 7:30 at night they were closed so we tried another and another. I mentioned an … [Read more...]
Dear Rob Bell, the Episcopal Church Welcomes You
Not long ago I was on a road trip, travelling winding highways that passed through endless small towns. In many of these towns there was a sign, small but visible, with a shield, a cross, and the words: "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You." These signs would lead to a church with an open red door—a church that is a part of a tradition that from the reformation until now has sought to be a middle way, guided by the three fold mix of reason, tradition, and scripture.I thought of those signs a … [Read more...]
The Election is Over and Christ is the King
Today is the last feast day of the Christian year--the Solemnity of Christ the King. It is a fairly recent feast day, instituted in 1925 by Pope Pius XI who was worried about the increasing nationalism he saw creeping across the world. Instead of baptizing this flag waving, Pope Pius created a feast to remind us that Christ is King and his kingdom is our first allegiance.Coming out of an election season where so many treated their candidate as some savior, it is fitting that we pause today … [Read more...]
A year goes by before we know it. Time flies as they say and it seems to keep on rushing. We have to slow it down, open up space, enter into some other space where we can reflect and see what's been happening. Now is the time to schedule that time. We are about to end one year and begin another. Advent for Christians is the reset of the calendar and a perfect season to schedule a retreat. Take a day or two, escape the parties and shopping and busy, busy life we use to make our way into cele … [Read more...]
A Day for Attention
Yesterday we feasted, we spent time with family, and now we rest. If we practice the traditional Friday fast of Christians, then we rest our bodies (if you haven't started this practice today is an excellent day to start). But it is also a time to relax into the Thanksgivings that we celebrated yesterday which means that this is also a day not to jump immediately into the season of wants and desires. Gift giving is good and like anyone I like receiving and giving gifts, but in our excess we h … [Read more...]
Be a Reason for Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving and for many of us its a time for joy, for gathering with friends and family and giving thanks for the year that has passed, but for many this is also a time of loneliness and mourning. Today, as you are giving thanks, follow in the loving way of the one to whom you give it. Seek out those who are broken and be Christ's love to them. Then you will be more than thankful, you will be a reason for thanksgiving. … [Read more...]
Exercise: Thanksgiving from the Ground Up
With Thanksgiving we recognize that we live within an economy of gifts. We did not build this; we create within a whole network of dependencies and within a creation that God made both brilliant and good. And for all of our fallen efforts to make the world ugly, God keeps making the world beautiful.Our most basic dependence is upon the soil. Without its health and life, we would have no health and life. We are Adam from Adamah, Human from Humus--our life does not make sense without soil. … [Read more...]

John (metropolitan) of Thebes (twelfth century)
- Accession Number:
Previous Editions
DO Seals 2, no. 21.1b.
Laurent, Corpus V/3, no. 1786.
- Diameter:
- 21 mm
The Virgin standing and holding Christ. On either side the inscription: ̅ΘΥ̅ : Μήτηρ Θεοῦ. Border of dots.
Ἰωάννην με τὸν Θηβῶν, Κόρη σκέποις.
Virgin, may you protect me, John (metropolitan) of Thebes.
From different boulloterion but parallel to BZS.1958.106.470.
Dodecasyllabic verse. Inscription has accents, one of which is misplaced. Laurent attributes this specimen to the John of Thebes who occupied the throne before 1166 and even perhaps after 1182 (cf. Corpus V/1, 594). He also re-edited another seal with the same name and titles which he attributed to this same prelate (Laurent, Corpus V/1, no. 775).
Thebes of Boeotia was an important administrative center, residence of the strategos of Hellas (early 10th century), and of an archon (Konstantopoulos, no. 63; Laurent, Orghidan, no. 236). Thebes became an autocephalous archbishopric (toward the end of the 8th century: Darrouzès, Notitiae, no. 2, line 79; cf. Seyrig, no. 270) and was raised to a metropolis between 968 and 997. See Laurent, Corpus V/1, 591; Koder-Hild, Hellas, 269-71; Fedalto, 523-25; ODB III, 2032; and J. Darrouzès in REB 47 (1989) 226-31.

Strong planning and evaluation has been critical for the rapid development ofthe Siteman Cancer Center (SCC). Ongoing planning and evaluation is a major responsibility for the committees discussed in this section and will be essential to maintaining a steep scientific trajectory. Rigorous planning and evaluation is carried out on an ongoing basis through several internal and external mechanisms: External Planning and Evaluation: External Advisory Committee (EAC) internal Planning and Evaluation: 1) Institutional Planning Process (Strategic Plan) 2) Executive Leadership Committee 2) Leadership Council 3) Senior Leadership Committee 4) Area-specific (Basic Science, Prevention &Control, Oncologic Imaging) Leadership Committees 5) Shared Resources Review 6) Membership Committee These groups assist the SCC in ensuring continuing progress, strong future goals, and dynamic planning to adjust to changing scientific needs and priorities.
Planning and Evaluation activities are critical components to the ongoing successful operation ofthe cancer center. With the use of external and internal resources (individuals, committees, and activities) the SCC is able to maintain its outstanding quality of research while at the same time expanding and advancing the field of cancer research, treatment and care, and prevention.

Preliminary clinical trials have demonstrated that radiolabeled anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies can achieve remissions in 65-90% of lymphoma patients failing chemotherapy. However, most patients treated with conventional radiolabeled antibodies (RAb) subsequently relapse and die of recurrent lymphoma. The objective of this research proposal is to optimize radioimmunotherapy (RIT) of B cell lymphomas utilizing pretargeting amplification strategies to improve the efficacy and decrease the toxicity of conventional RIT. Two separate pretargeting approaches will be investigated, one using streptavidin (SA) and radioactive biotin and the second employing molecularly engineered bispecific anti-CD20 x anti-ligand antibodies which bind covalently to radiolabeled ligands. First, we will compare the biodistributions, toxicities and efficacies of 4 genetically engineered SA mutant molecules with native SA in combination with either biotin or a synthetic divalent bis-biotin targeting molecule in a mouse lymphoma xenograft model. These streptavidin mutants will afford a unique opportunity to test the effect of SA avidity on tumor penetration as delineated in the ?binding site barrier? hypothesis. Next, we will compare the in vivo biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, and therapeutic efficacy of pretargeted β-emitting radionuclides (90Y, 177Lu) with pretargeted α-emitters (213Bi 211At, 225Ac) in murine xenograft models. Finally, we will evaluate the pharmacokinetics, biodistributions, toxicities and efficacies of novel molecularly designed bispecific anti-CD20 x anti-ligand Abs which possess a molecularly engineered binding pocket capable of binding covalently to synthetic radiolabeled electrophilic ligands. These bispecific anti-CD20 x anti-ligand Abs will be compared directly to the SA-biotin pretargeting approach in lymphoma models. We hypothesize that the pretargeting strategies defined in this proposal will improve the tumor-to-normal organ ratios of absorbed radiation compared with conventional RIT, allowing improvement in response rates and response durations with less toxicity than is currently feasible. We hypothesize that pretargeting will eliminate the necessity of administering myeloablative doses of 131I-anti-CD20 Ab with hematopoietic stem cell rescue to achieve maximal response rates and survival rates. We anticipate rapid translation of the results of these preclinical experiments into our clinical RIT program for human Non- Hodgkin's lymphomas.
/Relevance: Approximately 62,000 Americans are expected to develop Non Hodgkin?s Lymphoma in 2007 and only one third will be cured with conventional treatments. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies have recently emerged as a promising new treatment modality that induces remissions in most lymphoma patients, even after failure of standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This grant proposal describes the development of several innovations that markedly improve the effectiveness and decrease the toxicity of radiolabeled antibodies targeting the CD20 antigen on human B cell lymphomas.

North American design firm Stantec has acquired the assets of Street Smarts, a 60-person transportation and civil engineering company headquartered in Duluth, Georgia. The addition of this Atlanta-area firm further develops Stantec's existing transportation practice in Georgia and the southeastern U.S.
"Street Smarts is a very good fit for our transportation practice," says Bob Gomes, Stantec president and chief executive officer.
"It has an impressive 20-year track record in Georgia spanning commercial development to state-wide transportation projects and will help build our capabilities in this growing transportation market."
Street Smarts president Marsha Anderson Bomar said Stantec's reputation in transportation and sustainable design "connects us to a whole new system of resources for our clients.
"We'll be able to leverage its extensive design resources with our experience, weaving our networks together to branch into new areas and markets that we could not have reached on our own."
Stantec currently has offices in McDonough and Macon, Georgia. The company's transportation group provides comprehensive planning, engineering and infrastructure management services for the aviation, bridge, rail, roadway and transit sectors. The addition of Street Smarts is Stantec's ninth acquisition of the year.
Stantec provides professional consulting services in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management and project economics for infrastructure and facilities projects.

The nationally recognized Capital Fellows Programs administered by the Center for California Studies at California State University, Sacramento, announces the availability of applications for the Capital Fellows Programs:
From the lows of financial woes for the City of Oakdale and the economy in general, to the highs of a run to the state bowl game by the varsity football Mustangs late in the year, 2012 was filled with news, both good and bad. This week, we start our annual 'Year in Review' by taking a look at the months gone by, with headlines from the first half of the year. These were taken from the pages of The Oakdale leader, January through June.
The Oakdale Police Department continues to fill its upper ranks with the December promotion of Detective Brian Shimmel to the rank of sergeant within the department.
Oakdale City Council members announced Thursday, Dec. 20 that they will name Bryan Whitemyer as the city's new city manager. The decision comes after months of a search and a series of special city council meetings to close the deal.
The first of the year brings a change for the Riverbank-Oakdale Transit Authority, which will be taken over by Stanislaus Regional Transit (StaRT), the two sides agreeing to a merger earlier this year. ROTA has served the two cities with the public bus program since 1993.
The Oakdale City Council announced Thursday, Dec. 20 that it will name Bryan Whitemyer as the city's new city manager. The decision comes after months of a search and a series of special city council meetings to close the deal.
Oak Valley Hospital reported vandalism of two AT&T junction boxes that disrupted telephone service to the main hospital, Oak Valley Care Center, Oak Valley Community Health Center and surrounding physician offices. AT&T is currently working to restore phone, fax and internet services.
Sacramento International Airport is gearing up for the last big travel season of the year. As the winter holidays approach, here are some suggestions to make air-travel experiences as merry as possible.
They can be seen using tables and benches as shelter to keep dry, their possessions wrapped, bagged, boxed, or stored in any way that can be moved at a moment's notice. Their dim, unreadable eyes below dirty hair gaze out sometimes in fear or with confusion as they try to make sense of what's happened to them in their drive to survive another winter-filled day and cold biting night.
After proclaiming this week as Oakdale Mustangs Football Week and honoring the high school team, the newly-seated Oakdale City Council got down to business Monday night, deciding to delay one item and showing differences when it comes to financial issues affecting the city.
A presentation about the status of tunnel rehabilitation projects for the Oakdale Irrigation District was given by Contracts/Special Projects Manager Gary Jernigan at the OID Board of Directors regular meeting on Dec. 18.
The Oak Valley Hospital District Board will continue with Dan Cummins as its president and Dr. Wendell Chun as the vice-president in a decision announced at Wednesday's Dec. 12 Board of Directors meeting.

It's Friday again...how did that happen? Not that I'm complaining but it seems like the weeks go by faster and faster lately.
This weekend is filled with family and dreaming. It's going to be hectic with cooking and guests and the general madness of getting the apartment ready for 10 people for dinner...but all that time I will be getting lost in thoughts of our upcoming two week vacation at the beach. In just two weeks, we will be going away for two weeks...away from the rainy city, away from the honking and crowds, away from the madness. The only problem is that when we come back from our vacation, summer will be over...not that we have had much of a summer here in NYC because it's been mostly rain but still...the very thought of summertime is comforting.
I took this photo in May at the very beach where we will be in two short weeks. I feel like running in to it right this second. Soon...soon.
Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway if you haven't already...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend? What are you up to?

Pension reform : is there a tradeoff between efficiency and equity?
In the past decade, Latin America has taken the lead in structural pension reform which replaces a publicly managed pay-as-you-go defined-benefit system with a system of privately managed, fully funded defined-contribution accounts supplemented by a social safety net This arrangement is designed to improve efficiency and growth, and preliminary evidence suggest that it has been successful in doing so. But traditional social security systems have been justified on the grounds that they are equitable and redistribute to low income groups. Are we in danger of exchanging equity for efficiency? The author argues that in fact traditional system produce many inequities, both within cohorts and across cohorts. So it is possible for pension reform to improve both equity and efficiency - a win-win situation rather than a tradeoff. The reforms undertake thus far have indeed reduced existing equity problems, but some old equity problems remain and some new ones have been created. The main policy lesson is this: Pension reforms should be carefully designed to improve equity as well as efficiency and growth. Only further empirical analyses will determine whether the redistributional goal has been achieved.

text: Posted March 21, 2004 Lady opened on Thursday night, and I finally got to see the matinee today. Having never seen this ballet (except on video), I was so pleasantly surprised. Val Caniparoli, imo, did a beautiful job with the choreography. No bravura dancing, just plain, pure dancing. The dancers tell me it is very intricate choreography, with challenging timing. They all seemed to dance it with ease. Music is by Chopin, beautifully haunting. The cast today was Melanie Atkins as Marguerite and Pavel Gurevich as Armand Duval. Both did a wonderful job. Having first seen Melanie in Don Q in the fall, I was not sure I would be a big fan of hers. This part seemed made for her. Pavel has grown tremendously this year at Boston, and he really touched me as Armand. One of the most touching scenes was between Armand and his father, played by Victor Plotnikov. Victor has been injured a bit this year, and has not been able to dance big roles. I never really saw him perform. Although this role was not a huge dancing role, it made me wish I had seen him dance before his injuries. He walks on the stage and commands it. I can't wait to see this ballet again. I am going tomorrow to see Lorna Fejoo and Nelson Madrigal as the leads, but I am told I need to see Larissa Ponomarenko and Yury Yanowsky in this ballet. Hopefully, in two weeks when they run it again. For all you Boston Ballet goers, this is one you need to see. IMO, it's one of the best things they've done all year. Share this post Link to post

This morning, Nick was proud to join the Atiyeh family, elected officials, and hundreds of Oregonians at a public memorial for former Governor Vic Atiyeh.
Governor Atiyeh passed away in July at the age of 91. He served as Governor for two terms (1978-1986), leading Oregonians through a difficult recession in the early 1980s. His passion, humility and statesmanship helped shape the Oregon we all love today.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Atiyeh family.

Westfield, the Australian property developer, said that 5.5 million people visited its shopping centre next to the Olympic park in east London during the Games.
The shopping centres operator opened Westfield Stratford City in September 2011 and many visitors had to walk through the huge mall to get into the park's venues, including the athletics stadium, velodrome, and aquatic centre.
Central London was hit by a dearth of footfall in the early part of the Games after warnings about transport congestion. But Westfield said "5.5 million visits" were made to its Stratford site in just over two weeks.
Steve Lowry, the co-chief executive of Westfield, said the Games gave it "an unprecedented exposure to a global audience".
The group grew its net profits by 31 per cent to A$800m (£536m) over the six months to 30 June.

Firefighters citywide are now using new technology that improves their building inspection program by focusing on structures that pose the greatest fire risk. The Risk-Based Inspection System application – the first of its kind in the nation – uses data from multiple sources, including information mined from other city agency databases.
The new model tracks, scores, prioritizes, and then automatically schedules a building for inspection based on specified risk criteria. Data is drawn from buildings, finance, city planning, and fire departments to complete a rap sheet of a property.
"Uniformed firefighters currently perform 50,000 full-building fire safety inspections every year and until now, fire officers had limited information about how to prioritize buildings for inspection in the districts they protect. Our new system changes that," says Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "Drawing on building information from many sources, the Risk-Based Inspection System enables fire companies to prioritize which buildings pose the greatest fire risk – and that means we'll stop more fires before they start."
The program documents the building's construction material, whether or not a sprinkler system is in place, the height and age of the structure, last date of inspection, and occupancy. The system also captures and tracks violation history and then reschedules follow-up inspections when necessary.
"Building fires have decreased 16% citywide in the last 11 years, and fire deaths have declined to the lowest levels on record," reports Deputy Mayor for Operations Cas Holloway. "By focusing on buildings that pose the greatest fire risk, we'll drive these numbers even lower to save lives."

Get up and fly blues,
Let me stand up straight.
I'm down on my knees;
This pain is too much.
Get up and fly blues,
Carry my heartache away.
Soar up to the skies.
Just this once, leave me be.
Get up and fly blues.
Don't just hang around
Burdening my heavy heart,
Adding sorrow and despair.
Get up and fly blues.
I can't live like this.
Let me find my happiness.
Let me live my life.
Get up and fly blues.
Spread your wings and be free.
Let me spread my wings
And escape from your grasp.
The blues don't fly,
The blues don't have wings.
How can I escape the sorrow?
How can I be free from the pain?
Fly away blues, just fly away.

EXCEL Keeps College Dreams in Reach at 2013 Graduation
This past Friday, June 14, The Children's Aid Society's EXCEL Program (Education eXecellence Creating Empowered Leaders) graduated 47 high school seniors and 25 college graduates at a lively ceremony, held in the Con Edison headquarters building near Union Square. EXCEL is a unique program offered at our various community schools and community centers throughout New York City, preparing underprivileged students ages 14 to 21 for success in college and their futures. It does this through a comprehensive integration of college exploration, financial aid resources and scholarships, employment preparation, mentoring and community service opportunities.
At the event, students gathered to celebrate their accomplishments in the program, as well as their personal, academic and professional achievements. Throughout the evening the students were also presented with scholarships and various awards, and delivered moving speeches.
A huge thank-you goes to the various foundations, corporations and individual donors, as well as the 2013 Golf Classic participants, for the generous support of the EXCEL program. Without this support the amazing work at EXCEL would not be possible.

Special Art Show Featuring Children's Aid Artists
This spring, The Children's Aid Society was honored to be one of five UBS NYC community partners to participate in a special art show, featuring artwork inspired by the Guggenheim UBS Map Global Art Initiative's "No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia" exhibit. Students from the East Harlem Center and Community School P.S. 50 in the Bronx began their creative process by first participating in an inspiring tour of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Discussing the various pieces of art and diverse themes helped the students to begin thinking about their own art pieces. In the art workshops following the museum tours, the group used a narrative approach to creating their art work which was reflective of the Guggenheim "No Country" exhibit. The students' art from all five partners was on grand display as the My Map. My story exhibition at the UBS Corporate Gallery.
This is The Children's Aid Society's second year collaborating with UBS, a global firm that provides financial services to private, corporate and institutional clients. In 2011, East Harlem Center youth explored the theme "New York: Through Our Eyes" and had the opportunity to meet UK artist Stephen Wiltshire.
In addition to providing memorable opportunities for children to express themselves through art, UBS supports Children's Aid youth in their transition from middle school to high school and beyond through other engaging initiatives.
Children's Aid Holds Its 14th Annual Golf Classic
The 14th Annual Children's Aid Society Golf Classic was held recently at the renowned Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. Baltusrol is the site of 14 Children's Aid Classics, 15 USGA national championships, seven U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship. In 2016, the PGA Championship will return for a second time.
The Classic kicked off with a brunch, followed by 18 holes on the championship lower course, and ended with a cocktail reception, awards ceremony and a spirited auction. The event raised over $180,000 to fund higher education readiness programs and scholarships for hard-working yet underprivileged youth, such as the teens in our EXCEL program. Since 2000, the Children's Aid Golf Classic has raised over $3.35 million.
Special Guests speakers included Howard Cross, SVP, Cresa, Co-host, YES Network's This Week in Football, Sideline analyst for the New York Giants' radio network and member of the Super Bowl XXV Champion New York Giants; and Elvis Santana, a graduate of both the EXCEL program and Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School, a Children's Aid community school, who is now studying Organizational Psychology at Albertus Magnus College.
A very heartfelt thank you to our 2013 Golf Classic sponsors including Founding Sponsor, Accenture; Hole-in-One Sponsor, Audi of Bernardsville and Mendam; foursome supporters Buck Consultants, EmblemHealth, FXI, Russel Hamilton, Jon Harrington, High Point Wealth Management, Housen Financial Group, HUB International Northeast, MKP Capital Management, LVI Services, Merrill Lynch and UnitedHealthcare Oxford; and our dedicated Steering Committee.

27th Annual Parent Family Life & Sexuality Graduation
On Friday, June 7, The Children's Aid Society's Carrera Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program (CAS-Carrera) held its 27th graduation ceremony for the Parent Family Life & Sexuality Education program (PFLSE) at Hunter College.
PFLSE is a multi-week workshop that encourages New York City parents to be their children's primary source of sexuality information. Led by bilingual CAS-Carrera sexuality educators with peer support from promotores (trained community educators), PFLSE provides these parents with knowledge and strategies on how to become more actively involved in their child's sexual development.
Dr. Michael A. Carrera, who launched CAS-Carrera in 1984, urged the graduates, family members and the Children's Aid community to remember that the most powerful sexuality message to convey to children is unconditional love and belief in them that they are good and capable.
Every year, class valedictorians are chosen to share what they learned over the course of the program. Danny Vallecillo of the Salome Urena de Henriquez campus in Washington Heights and Melissa Gomez from the Urban Assembly Institute for Young Women in Brooklyn spoke eloquently about their participation in the program, how it has improved their views about sexuality and strengthened their overall communication with their children.
"My biggest fear in life is that my daughters take the same steps I took in becoming a teen mom," said Ms. Gonzalez remembering her own journey. "But with this amazing program, my mind is a little bit more at ease."

Fannie Lou Holds Outdoor Peace Fair
On May 16, Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School held its third annual Peace Block Fair. Three years ago, the fair was created to honor students who have been killed due to gang and gun violence–students who went to Fannie Lou and also those outside of Fannie Lou who lost their lives due to this issue.
One student killed in gun violence, Damien Martinez, was remembered by a classmate. Nashali Batista, who graduated from Fannie Lou, said "I knew Damien by going to middle school with him. He lived right up the block from me. Damien Martinez was like my brother, family and best friend and I wish it had never happened."
After experiencing these events, the students of Fannie Lou TV, a video production class in the school, decided to create the Peace Fair and bring awareness on gun and gang violence in the community.
Every single student from Fannie Lou attended the Peace Fair this year, so it was staged by class. The first classes to go to the peace fair were freshmen and sophomores and the last classes to attend were the juniors and seniors.
Many different activities were available for the students to participate in—such as basketball, foosball, button making and many others. At the fair, there were also information tables from groups such as Healthy Eating in the Community and the Gay-Straight Alliance, which is a student-run club that brings together straight and LGBT students to support each other, create a safe environment and create activism to fight homophobia and transphobia. Another information table was Bronx Defenders, which is an organization that helps students and their families deal with legal challenges.
In conclusion, the 2013 Peace Fair was a success. At the end, students gathered with white and purple balloons, releasing them into the air to honor victims of gun and gang violence.

2013 Iron Go!Chefs Competition
For many young chefs at the Children's Aid Society, the Iron Go!Chefs competition is the event they look forward to all year. At this year's fourth annual event, held on Thursday, June 6 at the East Harlem Center, the students harnessed their energy and excitement to chop, grate and sautée their way to the top.
Teams of elementary and middle school chefs from Children's Aid centers and community schools showed off their healthy cooking, teamwork and organization skills as they raced against the clock in hopes of winning the Best Overall prize and the prestigious title of "Iron Go! Chefs." In that hour, the students had to prep, execute and plate a delicious meal for a tough panel of judges, including Kerry Heffernan, judge in Bravo TV's "Top Chef All-Stars" and runner-up in season four of "Top Chef Masters;" Harrison Mosher, executive chef of Alta; Radha Agrawal, founder and CEO of Super Sprowtz; and Children's Aid staff.
Elementary-age chefs competed during the morning, presenting tasty recipes like black bean burgers with sweet potato fries, and the middle school students prepared nutritious meals appropriate for lunch or dinner with ingredients such as quinoa, salmon and shrimp.
View photos of both sessions of Iron Go!Chefs competitions here.

Bronx Bowmen Compete in Archery Tournament
Archery programs for young people have been growing at a clip, as studies begin to show that the sport helps boost self-confidence, motivation and focus—while being fun at the same time.
For nearly eight years, Children's Aid's has offered after-school archery programs—run by noted coach Larry Brown—at several of our Bronx community schools. On Saturday, June 1, students and parents from the programs at P.S. 50, C.S. 61 and Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom Middle School and High School competed in a borough-wide tournament, held in the gymnasium at Fannie Lou.
The son of a bow maker, Coach Brown began competing in archery locally and nationally in the late 1970s. He was one of a handful of African Americans competing nationally in the often closed world of Olympic Tournament Archery. Coach Brown holds many tournament titles and continues to compete in local and national tournaments.
From 2002 to 2004, Brown was the head coach for the Columbia University Women's Archery Program. He left Columbia determined to pursue his dream of promoting archery with inner city and African American and Latino youth. Currently, he teaches archery at 12 different elementary, middle and high schools in New York City.
Approximately 150 young people—from age 7 up—and their parents participated. You can view photos of the tournament here.
Bronx Youth Forum Explores How Bullying and Drugs Impact School Life
On May 30, a group of nearly 200 youth ages 12 to 18 from The Children's Aid Society's adolescent programs participated in the annual "Youth Speak Out On Education."
This half-day forum featured young people from across the Bronx and Manhattan discussing the impact of drugs and violence on student graduation success.
The event featured student presentations and peer-led discussions with a ground-eye view of schools, communities, home and shelter life, and what the Department of Education, politicians, community-based organizations and parents can do to help students continue their education and development, free from the victimization and violence that impact their future success.
After careful research leading up to the forum, students shared their findings and proposed solutions that policymakers and education leaders can implement at schools and at the community level to decrease the dropout rate and truancy, and to increase school attendance and completion.
Students from Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School surveyed 200 of their peers about bullying. Presenters showed that bullying is underreported because bullied students feel embarrassment and fear, and do not want to look weak to their peers and teachers. Another group tackled drug use and violence in the home, noting that children of parents who abuse drugs are three times more likely to be victims of abuse.
A trio of Milbank after-school participants called for the smoking age to be raised from 18 to 21, while Hope Leadership Academy students presented an exhaustive look at the dangers of cigarettes and marijuana.
Throughout the event, video projects, live skits and interactive Q&A sessions were used to engage audience members, who were enthusiastic participants throughout the morning.
On hand to thank and encourage the students were two Department of Education (DOE) officials, Elayna Konstan, who is chief executive officer of the Office of School Youth Development, and Susana Vilardell, the director of students for the DOE's Students in Temporary Housing program.

Positive Deviance Project Finds Keys to School Success
Recently, a group of Bronx residents met at Children's Aid's Next Generation Center to discuss the solutions to school failure they're seeing among stronger students in the community and how to get other parents and students to model this positive behavior and achieve academic success.
This group of 25 volunteers is part of our "Positive Deviance" initiative, a two-year project that aims to boost school success rates for black and Latino males in Morrisania.
The positive deviance approach was developed in the early 1990s by researchers at Tufts University as a solution to malnutrition. It is based on the premise that every community has members whose behaviors and strategies help them find solutions to problems that their peers haven't, despite having access to the same resources and facing similar or worse challenges. Through positive deviance, the community identifies those people and their behaviors, and develops a plan of action to get the wider community to adopt shared solutions.
Our 25 volunteers are examining the barriers faced by young men of color and the strategies that successful community members have used to overcome them. The volunteers are students, teachers and other school staff, professionals from the community, Children's Aid Society staff members, parents and grandparents, as well as an expert from the Positive Deviance Initiative.
Here's a quick look at what the group has done to date:
- Created a problem statement: The majority of black and Latino male students living in the Bronx do not succeed in school. The desired outcome is that most black and Latino male students will be successful in school in the coming years.
- Developed a conceptual framework and related questionnaire: School success is impacted by: teen dating, respect in and out of school, family life, time management and social networking, after-school activities and violence.
- Identified stakeholders for group interviews: teachers, parents, siblings, friends, school guards, janitors, coaches, pastors, tutors, counselors, neighbors, principals, mentors, shop owners, police and community-based organization members. These stakeholders each impact the success of students and helped identify positive deviant behaviors in interviews.
- Determined selection criteria for positive deviants: an 80% average in all subjects and meets one or more criteria such as being subject to gang violence or tough police tactics, or living in a home with a single working parent or where English isn't the primary language.
- Conducted individual interviews with positive deviants and their families to see how their behaviors differ from the normative ones.
In late May, the group presented results from those interviews and engaged in a community dialogue about the findings from this research. The findings include actions students can take on their own—such as sitting near the front of class and being considerate to all students, even those you might not like—and actions families can take together—eating meals, reviewing homework and even activities like grocery shopping and running errands as a group on weekends.
Next, a replication phase will begin this summer, and in the fall, the group will launch a kick-off event for multiple replication projects. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project.
