Double standard regarding drugs
Marijuana is constantly attacked by many politicians, even though use by adults (use by children is a different story) rarely if ever results in a visit to the hospital. This makes me conclude that the problem with marijuana is that users and producers need more expensive lobbyists. I write this based on an eye-popping article on the well-established dangers of LEGAL drugs in the September 2014 edition of Consumer Reports. Here's an excerpt:
OxyContin, Percocet, and Vicodin–prescription narcotics . . . can be as addictive as heroin and are rife with deadly side effects. Use of those and other opioids has skyrocketed in recent years. … 46 people per day, or almost 17,000 people per year, die from overdoses of the drugs. That's up more than 400 percent from 1999. And for every death, more than 30 people are admitted to the emergency room because of opioid complications. With numbers like that, you would think that the Food and Drug Administration would do all it could to reverse the trend. But against the recommendation of its own panel of expert advisers, last December the agency approved Zohydro ER, a long-acting version of hydrocodone.
Almost as dangerous is a medication renowned for its safety: acetaminophen (Tylenol and generic). Almost 80,000 people per year are treated in emergency rooms because they have taken too much of it, and the drug is now the most common cause of liver failure in this country.
If lawmakers put all drugs under the same scrutiny as far as safety, it would turn the drug world upside down.
Coca Cola and obesity
Coca Cola has been forced to reckon with the elephant in the room. Healthy people do not guzzle Coca Cola, as discussed by this article in Bloomberg.
Americans may not have figured out the answer to the obesity epidemic, but for years they've pointed to Coca-Cola and other soda as one of the causes. Coke has tried fighting against this. It's tried ignoring it. Now it accepts this as a reality. This is the problem Douglas has to confront. He has to persuade people to drink Coca-Cola again, even if they don't guzzle it like water the way they did before.
Cultural shifts don't happen overnight. They build slowly—a sip of coconut water here, a quinoa purchase there, and suddenly the American diet looks drastically different than it did 10 years ago. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in the $75 billion soda industry. For decades, soft-drink companies saw consumption rise. During the 1970s, the average person doubled the amount of soda they drank; by the 1980s it had overtaken tap water. In 1998, Americans were downing 56 gallons of the stuff every year—that's 1.3 oil barrels' worth of soda for every person in the country.
Vincent Iannelli, M.D., offers this thrashing of the anti-vaccine mentality:
This guide to the 50 most common anti-vaccine myths and misinformation will help you understand that vaccines are safe, are necessary, and that getting your kids vaccinated and fully protected against each and every vaccine-preventable disease is the right decision to make.
The promise of fecal transplants
Some patients are having astounding success with fecal transplants, and a DIY community is growing. BBC reports:
There is growing recognition that faecal transplant is the best way to treat [some] patients. In the first randomised trial of the technique published in the New England Journal of Medicine last year, 94% of patients were cured by the treatment, whereas a course of antibiotics cured just 27%. The disparity was so huge that the researchers stopped the trial early, on the grounds that it was unethical to deny the better cure to the cohort assigned antibiotics.
La Crosse, Wisconsin: the town that is willing to talk about death
Excellent story by NPR. It's a long way from the Republican scare stories about "death panels":
People in La Crosse, Wisconsin are used to talking about death. In fact, 96 percent of people who die in this small, Midwestern city have specific directions laid out for when they pass. That number is astounding. Nationwide, it's more like 50 percent.
In today's episode, we'll take you to a place where dying has become acceptable dinner conversation for teenagers and senior citizens alike. A place that also happens to have the lowest healthcare spending of any region in the country.
This piece reminds me that one of the main problems with the United States is that we cannot have meaningful conversations. This is refreshingly different. And important: One-quarter of health care spending occurs in the last year of life.
The failure of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)
What would it seem like if ONLY those who successfully completed a program were featured in the media? What would we think about a school where 85 out of 100 students flunked, but only the graduates showed up to say how good the program was? That is the starting point for Dr. Lance Dodes and Zachary Dodes' article in Salon: "The pseudo-science of Alcoholics Anonymous: There's a better way to treat addiction."
Rehab owns a special place in the American imagination. Our nation invented the "Cadillac" rehab, manifested in such widely celebrated brand names as Hazelden, Sierra Tucson, and the Betty Ford Center. . . . The fact that they are all extraordinarily expensive is almost beside the point: these rehabs are fighting the good fight, and they deserve every penny we've got. Unfortunately, nearly all these programs use an adaptation of the same AA approach that has been shown repeatedly to be highly ineffective. Where they deviate from traditional AA dogma is actually more alarming: many top rehab programs include extra features such as horseback riding, Reiki massage, and "adventure therapy" to help their clients exorcise the demons of addiction. . . . Why do we tolerate this industry? One reason may sound familiar: in rehab, one feels that one is doing something, taking on a life-changing intervention whose exorbitant expense ironically reinforces the impression that epochal changes must be just around the corner.
Who is studying the effectiveness of these programs? Not the programs themselves or, at least, they are not making their data open. That makes these authors suspicious:
Efforts by journalists to solicit data from rehabs have also been met with resistance, making an independent audit of their results almost impossible and leading to the inevitable conclusion that the rest of the programs either don't study their own outcomes or refuse to publish what they find.
What is the solution? Rather than preach to addicts about a "Higher Power," the authors suggest that they need something far more personally empowering: sophisticated self-awareness."
A personal perspective on Obamacare
My family just signed up for an extremely expensive "Bronze" policy with Obamacare. It is shameful that there are only two companies "competing" for our dollars in St. Louis (it's worse than shopping for a phone company). It's shameful that none of the policies in the bronze or silver range include Barnes Hospital (St. Louis' premium teaching hospital) in their network. It shameful that even though we are paying $1,000/month for a family of four, that the annual deductible is in the range of $4,300 for indiv and $8,600 for family, with annual out-of-pocket deductible for our family being $12,700. There is no real competition here, and I have yet to see the any reason to believe that the ACA will pressure providers to lower their costs. In America, we pay many times the amount for basic services (e.g., MRI scan) than people in other countries. Our economic side of our hospitals, including "non-profit" hospitals, are a joke, with their executives getting exorbitant salaries while they are on a shopping spree to buy up the local medical practices so that there is no meaningful competition, even your local doctors. I recognize that the ACA forces insurance companies to provide certain minimum coverages and that they can no longer cherry-pick patients based on pre-existing conditions, which was rampant and immoral. The ACA is certainly better than nothing.
The most shameful thing of all, however, is that even with the faults of Obamacare, the Republicans want to destroy the modest protection it offers many of us, and the substantial protection it offers low-income families. They propose to replace it with nothing at all. The Republican proposals I have seen would send all of us back to ravages of the dog-eat-dog for-profit health market where cherry-picked customers pay unregulated prices, where premiums have been skyrocketing for decades, where many folks are offered paltry coverage that they have no way of paying for, and where many people are deemed "uninsurable." If politicians can only convince us to keep watching lots of sports events and movies, maybe we will never force them to enact meaningful reform.
We need single-payor coverage, like most other civilized countries. For more on the dreadful situation we currently have, check out Stephen Brill's excellent article.
I'll end with this somber reality from Brill's article:
The health care industry seems to have the will and means to keep it that way. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the pharmaceutical and healthcare product industries, combined with the organizations representing doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, health services and HMO's, have spent $5.36 billion since 1998 on lobbying in Washington. That dwarfs the $1.53 billion spent by the defense and aerospace industries and the $1.3 billion spent by oil and gas interests over the same period. That's right: the health-care-industrial complex spends more than three times what the military-industrial complex spends in Washington.
"All Natural": A comment on the false advertising industry
What does it mean when you see "100% Natural" on a food label? Nothing at all!
What to say to anti-vaccination advocates
Penn and Teller offer a response that takes less than 2 minutes. Not that any of this makes it any easier to see your baby subjected to multiple jabs of concoctions created by Big Pharma. That said, the statistics beg for us to make sure we vaccinate our children. And see here.

It really varies year to year as well. If the bear's natural food crops are good than there will be less human/bear conflicts. It's the years when the natural forage is lacking that you see a big rise in conflicts.

Welsh Office Minister David Jones has visited the Urdd Eisteddfod, which is this year being held in Llanerchaeron near Aberaeron.
Mr Jones joined the thousands of visitors at the Maes during the week long celebration of the Welsh language, culture and the Arts. The seaside town of Aberaeron is preparing for a boom in trade following the extra visitors attracted to the area by the event.
Mr Jones attended the chairing ceremony, which was won by Llyr Gwyn Lewis from Caernarfon.
Speaking following the visit Mr Jones said: "I am delighted to be visiting this year's Urdd Eisteddfod, which will again showcase Wales' wealth of culture. The Urdd plays an important role in promoting Wales, its language and the Arts and I'm sure this year's festival in Llanerchaeron will be a great success.
"Over 100,000 visitors are expected in the area this week and with estimates that the Eisteddfod is worth £6m to the local economy, I'm sure this will be a welcome boost to the area. The Urdd gives young people a fantastic opportunity to showcase their talent from an early age whilst also providing families with a great day out during the half term break."

28th-29th July Yesterday was the end of Yosemite and stuff that had already been done, and the start of new stuff! We started off by heading to see the giant sequoias after we broke camp. They are just as amazing second time round, and it's such a lovely walk down to the grove. It was also nice that it was much quieter than the last time we went down as it was early in the morning. We then headed up to the same lake that we had lunch at when ...
PCT day 48. 6/6/15.
... The trail dropped to 10,500 feet before making us climb to 11,968 feet, the height of Glenn Pass. It began to snow on us intermittently as we were climbing and descending Glenn Pass. Unfortunately, Hummingbird twisted her ankle on the approach back to the PCT, yet she was still able to hike despite the pain. Needless to say, it slowed her down. Shepherd, Teflon, Hummingbird, and Casey spooked when they heard thunder. They had decided to wait it out a bit before going over ...

... themed base dishes we are cooking hotpot. Quick shop for the ingredients and it was back in the van. After a good few hours drive we eventually made it into Rachel, a town inhabited by a mere 60 people. It is absolutely huge and very much like a ghost town except for a little hotel and cafe amply names the ale-inn which I thought was amusing and it's here were we had lunch. After lunch Emily pulled up to the famous extraterrestrial highway sign were we hung up ...

Best laid plans
So Bishop was meant to be just an overnight stay en route to 2 nights staying in a tent cabin in Yosemite National Park, but, due to the govt. shutdown the park is closed so we've decided to stick around here for the next couple of days and hopefully drive through Yosemite on the way to San Francisco on Saturday. I say hopefully as they've seen a bit of snow the last couple of days and currently the road that we would need to take to drive through Yosemite is ...

Arabic domed rooms around a romantic swimmingpool
During our first stay in Na'ama Bay we visited the Sonesta Beach Resort daily and spent a lot of time at the private beach of the resort as paying guest. So we had the intention to book this hotel for our second stay in Na'ama Bay. Unfortunatily we couldn't find an appropiate package deal from the Netherlands. In the resort we found out that several travel agents skipped the resort because they started to sell only all inclusive arrangements.
At the main entrance at the Peace Road are two cannons just for decoration, though the security check at the entrance is very severe. So you are not allowed to enter, if you are not living in the hotel. After talking with the reception and the manager we were allowed to walk around the complex while wearing a 'visitors' badge.
In the complex are several shops and boutiques, restaurants, bars, a rooftop terrace, a dive centre and a private beach.
Unique Quality: We especially liked the white arabic domed rooms, situated around the inner garden dominated by the romantic swimmingpool with a lovely bridge.
Directions: At the eastern end of the promenade along Naama Bay
Not 4 star only 3 star
No waiter service at pool bar they only collect glasses, they dnt half work hard. The drinks are awefull all served warm. No kids club and entertainment forget. Apart from that a very nice hotel for what you pay.
Unique Quality: NON
Directions: 10 MIN FROM AIRPORT
Awesome hotel!
we stayed at the sonesta beach hotel in august 2004. it was on the last week of our month in egypt so we only stayed for 5 days, which was regretted as we had such a good time and were desperate to stay longer. we received a warm welcome upon arrival, and all staff are very friendly, and do their best to make sure youre comfortable. we had a room by the pool side which was very convenient. the swimming pools are great. really big, separate one for children and thier is also a in-pool bar. the sonesta beach resort also has its own private stretch of beach which is amazing. however, it is shingle, and the futher out into the sea you go protective footwear is a must, otherwise cuts are inevitable. but it is worth is as the corals are amazing and the fish are beautiful.
Unique Quality: the hotel is right in the centre of naama bay where all the restaurants and shops are. its great at night, as its so lively right into the early hours, but unlike britain, completely suitable for children. there is always so much to do as the resort is huge and you can always pass into neighbouring hotels for a wander! views are amazing, weather is fantasic. food at the sonesta is also very good!! were stayed half board so had breakfast and most days, dinner at the hotel. for both there is such a wide selection of food, for all tastes, so there is bound to be something for everyone. it is all well cooked and presented, not what i would have expected from a buffet! also at dinner there is always entertainment in the form of music and dancing which is always wonderful!
Nice and huge hotel in Naama Bay
The hotel is very nice, but huge.
We got a room far away from the swimmingpool area and the reception. It took us about 5 minutes to walk from our room
If you plan to stay here, ask to get a room close to the reception or swimmingpool.
Be also aware that this is a "italian" hotel. Huge crowds with italians stay here during the highseason.
There is entertainment by the pool and by the restaurant at night, in italian.
For me this got really annoying. Because I didn`t understand anything. We didn`t even spend one day in the swimmingpool because of this.
The entertainment is really loud.
Unique Quality: The hotel is very nice! Nice spacy rooms.
And the swimmingpool area is also big, but not big enough when it is crowds of italians there dancing salsa!
Directions: Naama Bay
april 2006
Stayed for two weeks at Sonesta Club hotel from April 6th to April 21st. I chose this resort because it was the cheapest hotel near Na'ama Bay. The hotel was clean the staff seemed to work long hours were fairly friendly. Our room did not have a window but a door leading out to a small balcony. the room was cleaned every day it had a small fridge,hairdryer and air-conditioning. the shower was brilliant lots of water.
The downside of the hotel was the resturant thank-goodness we went bed and breakfast. The resturant was very disorganised no cultery or crockery. The tables were dirty I did not see anyone wiping them. We held on to our cultery when we got some! There was plenty of food but always the same; danish pastries, small panacakes and omelettes(cooked fresh), yogurt, slices of cheese, cereal. I got very bored with the same breakfast everyday but you do get what you pay for.
The hotel pool was clean but there were so many people trying to get sunbeds we would get up at 7.30am and their were people already around the pool. The beach was very small and crowd we could'nt get on it.
Unique Quality: It was cheap! We went to the beach everyday there are two Public Beaches you can go on .The first Public Beach is next to the Novatel Hotel we paid £6.00 englsih pounds to stay all day for a sunbed and towel. the snorkelling was brilliant of this beach We went every day and saw lots of fish and beautiful coral. Wewalked (we did not have children) across the busy Peace Road through Sonesta Beach Hotel gardens which were lovely to the promenade walk to Na'ama Bay with the beach on our left and the various hotels to our right. The walk took about 20 minutes and at night it was great the lights on the palm trees and around the hotels were beautiful.
We found a fantastic cheap gift shop and a shop were we bought out water and juices. If you came out of Sonesta Club Hotel and turned right walked for a few minutes you come to several shops next to the Blue Reef hotel. The man in the gift shop spoke good English friendly without being to pushy we got some cheap t-shirts, towels, belly-dancing skirt and ashtrays.
Directions: Opposite Sinai Grand Casino on the Peace Road
~ Fabulous Location.....Right in Naama Bay ~
I really enjoyed staying at this hotel, i booked it at Thomson before i started working there & had heard lots of good reports about it.
It has a fabulous beachfront location & is in the centre of Naama Bay, where all the action is, restaurants, clubs, bars, shops, watersports etc you name it you can never get bored here. Theres always something to do & many places to see.
We got a warm welcome at this hotel, all the staff we very friendly & we got to know the Shisha man at this hotel, there is a gorgeous open rooftop where you can smoke Shisha & watch the sunset over Sharm with a ice cold beer.
Unique Quality: The pools at Sonesta is fantastic, theres plenty of space to chill out around the pool area & there is plenty of sunbeds for all the guests...but you do need to get out early if you want a good seat for the day.
There are plenty of places to eat at Sonesta, theres the Red Square restaurant which serves Russian Cuisine. I enjoyed the Beef Stroganoff here & the prices were good too. There is also an A La Carte Restaurant which serves Italian food & they play live music too which is relaxing.
Then there is the main buffet lounge which serves buffet food at night & there is live entertainment. You can go halfboard at this hotel but i prefer to go bed & breakfast as eating out is cheap & there is lots to choose from.
Nice and good service
We stayed at the Sonesta Beach Hotell for two weeks in July 2005. Very clean and nice hotel. On the beach. Nice rooms - arabic way. Nice food and service.
Unique Quality: Uniqe service
Naama Bay hotel, not on the beach
Stayed at the Sonesta club for 14 days in september 2004. Overall satisfied. Clean, big rooms with balcony. Good service. We had bed and breakfast included in our stay. The breakfast buffet was all right but you had to que for a while for the fried eggs or omelettes.
80% of the visitors where Italians; noisy italians. They have a constant animation program going on from morning to evening. We preferred to go to the beach every day to get a away from the noise. The hotel uses the beach og the Sonesta Beach Rssort and can be a litlle bit crowded. 10-15 min walk to the beach.
Unique Quality: Friendly and helpful staff.
Directions: 20 min walk from Namma Bay center. 15-20 EgP taxi

Hilo attorney suspended
The state Supreme Court on Friday suspended a Hilo attorney from the practice of law for one year and one day.
According to a written statement from the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, Chris Bertelmann neglected a client, failed to respond to reasonable requests for information regarding the status of the case and misappropriated more than $6,200 in advance fees and costs by converting the funds to cash immediately rather than depositing them in his client trust account, and improperly withdrew from representation of the client without notice and without returning the client's files.
The 60-year-old Bertelmann, who was admitted to the Hawaii Bar on Oct. 21, 1983, was also ordered to make restitution to the client within 90 days.
The high court noted, as a mitigating circumstance, that Bertelmann suffered from a serious medical condition during the period of his misconduct.

is a leader in the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender community. He is a sought after speaker on LGBT issues, specializing in transgender discussions in the Houston area. Lou helps groups, organizations, businesses, communities, and individuals by educating, training, and advising on matters of inclusion, equal access, equal care, and the equal treatment of transgender individuals.
We are losing our African American sisters at alarming rates, we need to fight back we need to stand together and make this stop. Please take a moment to check out her site and the resources she is offering.
She will be hosting a Job Fair 10/24/2014 and a Transgender Day of Resources & Healthy Living on 11/22/2014.
Because we all deserve to live our lives as ourselves regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender or gender orientation.
From the HRC Blog, written by Lou Weaver…
"Sharing our personal narratives can be a daunting task. We ask ourselves; how much is too much or is this relevant? When it comes to being an advocate for issues we are passionate about, it can be even more difficult. We get excited, we speak faster and sometimes we talk too much.
In 2013, through the support of HRC, who sponsored the training, I was able to attend a training specifically tailored for leaders in the trans* and gender non-conforming communities. The National Organizing Institute hosted a three-day training covering topics related to sharing our personal narratives. Leaders from across the country met in New York City to perfect the necessary skill of telling our stories effectively.
Throughout last year's workshops, I was able to tell my story and hear feedback on how to make it better. I was coached on the story of self and the story of we as a community, and how to utilize these stories to engage and motivate others. I returned Houston a better storyteller, and have been using my new skill set to share why I am so passionate about trans* inclusion.
This year, I am honored to be a part of bringing NOI's important training to the Gulf Coast Region. Join me and other community leaders on May 17 for NOI's public narrative training in Houston, Texas.
This training is specifically targeted to trans* and gender non – conforming individuals and has a limit of 50 people. Sign up today to secure your spot. The training is free and lunch will be provided."
This post comes from Lou Weaver, Diversity Co-Chair of the HRC Houston Steering Committee
Last week, the Harris County Sheriff's Office announced two new policies that would positively impact its LGBT employees and the transgender people in their jail system. The sheriff's office added sexual orientation and gender identity in the non-discrimination clause of its employment policy, and incorporated language in its jail housing policy that respects the gender identity and needs of transgender prisoners.
Harris County is the first county in Texas to enact such important changes, and it is one of the most comprehensive in the country.
I am proud of my role in the collaboration with the sheriff's office and other members of the county, and for bringing together local and national resources to support these efforts, particularly, on the national level, the Human Rights Campaign and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE).
Sheriff Garcia has long been a proponent for the Houston LGBT community, seeking the endorsement of the GLBT Political Caucus and speaking at local events. So it wasn't a surprise that Sheriff Garcia responded quickly when contacted about a transgender man facing harassment by jail staff.
The Sheriff assembled a team to create a policy – and they sought feedback from transgender community members including myself. As we went line-by-line through the policy, I was comfortable discussing language and options with them, but when it came to legal wording, I turned to NCTE and HRC, who provided incredible expertise.
The new policy outlines a "no-tolerance" approach regarding discrimination against transgender people by housing them according to their gender identity,and for access to the appropriate medical care.
Now that this new policy is complete, we are creating Standard Operating Procedures to outline implementation and training. I am proud to have been involved in the creation of this policy since its early stages, and of the collaboration with the sheriff's office, the local community, NCTE, and HRC. I encourage other agencies look to this policy and our collaborative approach for creating safer environments for LGBT people in their care.

By now it's no secret that I make pizza.
I've been making pizza for nearly all my adult life off and on. I love pizza. In fact I love it so much I can eat it every day and much of the time do but apart from making spanakopita and a few other Greek delicacies I have zero knowledge as a baker.
Even as I write this I acknowledge the fact that I am no baker. Last year I couldn't even make a fococcia.
Yeah, one track mind I guess but now I am expanding and having fun doing so.
Not too much expansion, just more of what I am doing. I went crazy last year looking for another pasta machine and finally bought a cheap one to replace the good one that was stolen from me years ago.
It did well and I made a ton of pasta, lasagna and all.
Then I bought a better machine and am still making pasta all the time. It's just a bit easier.
Pasta machine with ravioli maker attachment
I am constantly looking for ways to improve.
I should slow down long enough to explain that I make most of the pasta the old way.
That is to say I still roll mine and cut it with a knife.
Same with my ravioli.
I roll it, then either cut them with a special cutting die or I roll them out with a special rolling pin.
Heheh, I lay the dough out over a tray, fill the depressions then covering with another layer of dough I roll over the top, cutting through, and in seconds, it's ravoli.
Yeah, I make all kinds of stuff now and without a torch too.
I gotta tell you that making pasta is a very simple process.
The basics are so simple you will wonder why you haven't been making it all along.
There are finesse-points you will pick up but right off you can begin feeding your family
fresh homemade pasta without preservatives, etc.
The beautiful part of the whole idea is it only takes minutes, not hours and if you have a stand mixer it will take less time still.
I have been known to spend large amounts of money on dry store bought pasta, already a year or more old.
No wonder it takes so long to cook and never really tastes like pasta.
To this day I still have store boughts in my larder, wagon wheels and such.
Some of you folks want new ways to turn a buck and here is one staring you straight in the face!
A good pasta extruder like DOLLY can turn out enough pasta to supply a major super market store.
Every type of pasta and the DOLLY has other uses too.
Not a toy at approximately $4000.00 but in the right place used by the right person I think this is an automatic business.
I nearly bought one last year for myself, just to play with.
I would be sitting on 1000 pounds of pasta by now and still cranking it out.
Yeah, pasta is great and you don't even need a machine of any kind to make it.
You can mix the dough by hand quickly and roll it out then cut it all by yourself and this pasta cooks in just a few minutes, not twenty plus minutes and the flavor is unmatched.
Make pasta tonight, you'll be glad you did.

A new study out of Tulane University examines the effects of New Orleans' post–Hurricane Katrina school reforms on school level expenditures.
Most of these "reforms" include the shift from traditional public schools to a system of state-authorized charter schools. Recall that the control of most schools moved from the Orleans Parish School Board to the Recovery School District—and is now, incidentally, being returned back—though this analysis occurs before any of that begins to take place.
Authors examine district-level expenditures from 2000 to 2014, omitting 2005–06 because it was the year that Katrina hit. They also include costs from the charter management operator (CMO), Orleans Parish School Board, and Recovery School District (RSD). They compare spending before and after the post-Katrina changes, focusing especially on the most recent year of data, 2014. They created a weighted average of spending in other districts across the state that mirrors the pre-reform patterns in New Orleans school spending. Importantly, they focus on operating expenditures only and don't include the large capital expenditures related to rebuilding the system after the hurricane.
There are three key findings. The first is that New Orleans' public schools spent 13 percent more per pupil in operating expenditures ($1,300...
Much research indicates that youngsters from single-parent families face a greater risk of poor schooling outcomes compared to their peers from two-parent households. A recent study from the Institute for Family Studies at the University of Virginia adds to this evidence using data from Ohio.
Authors Nicholas Zill and W. Bradford Wilcox examine parent survey data from the National Survey of Children's Health. This dataset contains information on 1,340 Ohio youngsters—a small but representative sample. The outcomes Zill and Wilcox examine are threefold: 1) whether the parent had been contacted at least once by their child's school for behavior or academic problems; 2) whether the child had to repeat a grade; and 3) a parent's perception of their child's engagement in schoolwork.
The upshot: Buckeye children from married, two-parent households fare better on schooling outcomes, even after controlling for race/ethnicity, parental education, and income. Compared to youngsters from non-intact families, children with married parents were about half as likely to have been contacted by their school or to have repeated a grade. They were also more likely to be engaged in their schoolwork, though that result was not statistically significant.
An estimated 895,000 children in Ohio...
The seventh annual National School Choice Week is here, and it has special resonance, and prominence, this year. That's because President Donald Trump has made expanding school choice the centerpiece—really the only piece—of his education agenda.
Those of us in Washington will likely spend the next several months obsessing about how he and his team plan to turn his $20 billion school choice promise into a legislative proposal. But it's not too soon for policymakers in the states to start thinking through the details—because they may be the ones tasked with figuring them out.
That was my takeaway from an event I moderated last week at the Hoover Institution. We gathered a panel of policy wonks to discuss three major options for a new federal push on school choice: a competitive grant program, akin to Race to the Top; making Title I and special education dollars portable, including following students to private schools; or revising the federal tax code to support "tax credit scholarship programs" in at the state level.
A new grant program appealed to at least two of our panelists—Joanne Weiss and Andy Smarick—but strikes me as highly unlikely. Trump has promised to...
Editor's note: Last week, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the Hoover Institution hosted a timely event, "A New Federal Push on Private School Choice? Three Options to Consider." We are running guest posts by the event's panelists, offering their advice for the new Administration and Congress. Below is an article by McKenzie Snow, a policy analyst in education choice at the Foundation for Excellence in Education. These posts do not necessarily reflect the views of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
The recent inauguration of President Donald Trump and nomination of Secretary-designate Betsy DeVos has engendered an unprecedented opportunity for the federal government to support the success of school choice in the states. Among other major education policy changes, this could mean allowing states to innovate in their distribution of federal Title I dollars, so that funds are more transparent, student-centered, and targeted to make a meaningful impact on the disadvantaged students served.
Despite almost $15 billion appropriated for Title I grants to districts in FY 2016 alone, Title I has had a negligible impact on the disadvantaged students the program was intended to serve (see here, here, here, and here). Furthermore, since Title...
When President Donald Trump stopped by a Cleveland charter school in September, he promised to "establish the national goal of providing school choice to every American child living in poverty." Although he initially pitched the idea of a $20 billion school choice program, the details on how that would work—and what other policy changes he might pursue—were a bit murky.
Trump's nomination of school choice supporter Betsy DeVos for education secretary affirmed his commitment to expanding school choice, but the nomination also brought a bit more clarity to Trump's agenda (or at least made it easier to speculate). DeVos has a widely cited history with vouchers, and the media immediately zeroed in on the possibility that the new administration would champion not just public charter schools, but private school choice as well.
As the saying goes, there's more than one way to skin a cat—and there are plenty of ways that the new administration could push for private school choice. On Wednesday, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the Hoover Institution hosted an event aimed at exploring three specific options: a new competitive grant program, Title I portability, and revisions to the tax code.

Motivating students to pursue their educational passions and grow into the learners they are all inherently able to be is both a simple and complex equation. At its core, it's about access, inspiration, articulating how educational concepts are relevant to their lives, and tapping into the well of curiosity that exists deep inside each child. One answer, to use a term familiar to many of us, is enrichment.
Removing students from their "normal" learning world and placing them into an environment with new texture and life—assuming there is a standards-aligned, rigorous and passionate approach to teaching—can truly open their eyes to new possibilities and views. If we strategically expose children to new experiences and environments, we can change their trajectories and interest levels significantly.
For the STEAM education program that we run at the San Francisco 49ers, our path to enrichment is paved using football and Levi's Stadium to demystify and "cool-up" subjects like environmental sustainability, structural engineering, and physics. We leverage the power of the game, our players, and the most tech-savvy sports venue in the world to get kids to open up to the ideas that the subjects for which they may believe they have no aptitude...
As a two-term president and the de facto leader of the free world, Barack Obama has represented with his tenure a triumphant opus to the opportunity that makes the American experiment possible.
And as he has proudly identified himself as African-American, one of the many things he will be remembered for is how he sought to transcend the rules of race in our politics, attempting to shirk the iron cloak and repressive history of the treatment of blacks in this country, instead donning the garb of a new, hopeful brand of statesmanship.
When looking back at his meteoric rise, and his current role as, essentially, the leader of black America, it's important to remember that both are the result of a dramatic life opportunity that ultimately made Obama the man he is today—an opportunity cruelly denied millions of African-American and Hispanic children even as they aspire to walk in Obama's footsteps. That opportunity was access to a quality education. And it's because of Obama's education origin story that his education policies—particularly those addressing whether minority children would have school choice and the same educational opportunities he had—will be the most resonant of his presidency.
In America's history, there has been...
An Overton Window is a metaphor for what is politically feasible at any given moment. It's named for the late Joseph P. Overton of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, who theorized that political ideas at any given moment fall along a line from unthinkable and radical to popular and policy. Ideas that were once politically radioactive can become feasible, desirable, and enacted as the window moves between poles, expands, or contracts. But the window is not static. The nineteenth century temperance movement begat Prohibition, which failed; banning alcohol is no longer politically feasible. Some form of legalized marijuana use is the law in more than half of U.S. states. A generation ago, that was well outside the moving Overton Window.
Education policy ideas run the gamut from maximum government control and oversight, to a free and unfettered education marketplace. Compulsory education exclusively in government-run schools (with private schools and homeschooling banned) would represent one currently unthinkable end of the spectrum; closing all those schools and privatizing education would be the other equally unthinkable end. Formerly radical ideas like charter schools, national standards, and abolishing teacher tenure would be in between these two poles and, depending on which way...
On the college football field, Ohio and Michigan are bitter rivals. But in the charter school world they share something in common: Both states' charter sectors have been saddled with the unflattering label of the "wild west." Recently, this characterization—generally meant to describe a state without proper accountability policies—has been used in critiques of Michigan native and charter supporter, Betsy DeVos, president-elect Trump's appointee for secretary of education.
What's clear is that this label and accompanying narrative are hard to shed, even though both states have significantly strengthened their charter laws. On these Gadfly pages, Daniel Quisenberry has described how Michigan is improving its charter sector. In a Fordham report released today, we show how Ohio's era of stagecoaches and saloons is starting to give way to a more modernized charter sector.
In On the Right Track, we examine the early implementation of recently enacted charter reforms in our home state of Ohio. Bottom line: The Buckeye State's reforms are being implemented with rigor and fidelity, bringing promising changes to one of the nation's oldest, largest, and most notorious charter sectors.
In autumn 2015, Governor John Kasich and Ohio legislators passed a landmark, bipartisan...

Competitive programs are particularly good vehicles for empowering those closest to the work to bring forward good ideas that are tailored to the needs and circumstances of particular places. And despite the handful of cities that are working today toward the principles outlined in my previous post, there is still much to be learned about designing successful choice policies—and it's no secret that what succeeds in one place may be different in key details from what works somewhere else. A policy targeted at creating successful citywide or regional proof-points would significantly contribute to the field's knowledge and evidence base.1 Competitions, when well designed and executed, can be strong mechanisms for seeding models and advancing learning because:

By Jim Corbett, USA TODAY
NEW YORK Matthew Stafford was out at dinner Friday night with family members and friends in a party of 23 when he got the $72 million phone call on his cellphone from agent Tom Condon.
The Detroit Lions had just agreed to make the former Georgia quarterback the top overall pick in Saturday's NFL draft.
Stafford's father, John, noticed his son quietly get up and step outside from the Bar Americain restaurant on 52nd Street in Manhattan about 10:30 p.m. Stafford had that mega-million grin on his face when he returned to the table several minutes later.
DRAFT TRACKER: Every pick, every team
ANALYSIS: Pick-by-pick reaction
"Matthew walked back in and I could just tell," Stafford's father said. "When he came around the corner, he had a smile on his face. He did a very non-chalant thumb's up.
"I got up and everybody else got into it real quick. Big cheers, big hugs all around, everybody hugging everybody. It just a tremendous time."
Big reason to celebrate. Stafford received a six-year deal worth as much as $78 million with $41.7 million in guaranteed money. Nice way to take the edge off his draft-day nerves knowing he was the ninth quarterback in the last 12 drafts to go No. 1 overall.
Asked about the $72-million deal, which has escalators that could increase it to $78 million, and the burden of responsibility in trying to reverse the Lions' curse that former quarterback Bobby Layne supposedly cast on the franchise after his trade from Detroit to Pittsburgh 51 years ago, Stafford said.
"I was extremely surprised (by the amount of money)," he said. "I didn't know any of the numbers going in. I didn't know what he (Condon) was negotiating off of or anything. I just think the Ford family for trusting me that much and putting their name out on the line for me because that's a lot of positive pressure for me.
"I like that.
"It's something I have to live up to and I have to prove that I'm worth. And that's exciting for me."
Not everybody inside Radio City Hall sounded excited. In fact, the overwhelming majority of fans booed, chanting "over-rated, over-rated" when commissioner Roger Goodell's announced the first pick within the first six seconds of announcing the Detroit Lions are on the clock.
"It's the $42 million everybody's booing," said Don Gardonio, 49, a Lions fan from Windsor, Ontario. "To me the people who booed were New Yorkers.
"I'm not against the pick. Matthew Stafford wants to be here. And he played at Bobby Layne's high school (Highland Park in suburban Dallas)."
Said fellow Lions fan Jason Peppel, 31, "I'm from Detroit. I like the pick. He has the big arm to throw the ball down the field in Scott Linehan's offense."

Are you kidding me? A not an option? Gilbert Arenas was trash when we was playing, he had a 12 turnover game, he was shooting a terrible percentage and messing up the flow of the game. the truth is he was not ready to be playing, he should have been a bench player. Flip has made all the right moves this season. It's the players failures you should be looking at. they are the ones that lost the games, not Flip. And now look, you give him a few kids willing to listen and trust in his philosophies and they win 3 out of 4. Through the injuries, death of Abe, the law troubles, and the devastating close losses (which again were the players fault); Flip has kept his composure and done his job the best he could, no other coach could have done much better of a job.
Grading Flip Saunders: The Poll & Trade Rumor Links
This morning I wrote a piece on grading Flip Saunders for ESPN's Daily Dime; I've included it below. I gave Saunders a C-minus up to this point of the season. Now it's your turn to grade him. Giving the coach an 'A' is not an option, as should be the case.
[polldaddy poll=2687373]
Grading Flip Saunders
This piece originally appeared on the February 11, 2010 of ESPN's Daily Dime.,
In his Wednesday Per Diem, John Hollinger listed the Wizards as one of the NBA season's biggest disappointments, scathingly calling them out individually and collectively. Hollinger pulled no punches, denoting some as selfish, some as clueless, and even dubbing worthless, Fabricio Oberto, a seemingly innocent bystander of Washington's unimaginable season.
Hollinger usually draws the ire of Wizards fans for his unabashed criticism of their team, but this time, there can be little protest of his assessment. There is, however, one exception. Hollinger, like many others, almost precludes Flip Saunders from culpability for the season's woes.
Extenuating circumstances deriving from the team that Ernie Grunfeld built have taken the brunt of the blame as nary a Washingtonian has pointed a finger in Flip's direction. Knowledgeable fans understand that the coach cannot play the game for the players.
But heading into the All-Star break with a 17-33 team, should Saunders be given a complete pass? If asked to grade him, most would probably give an incomplete. But the guy is still getting paid in the first season of a 4-year, $18 million contract, isn't he? Saunders should not be immune to a fairly graded assessment.
From claiming that teaching is the base of his coaching core, to providing players with his offensive playbook on iTouches, to establishing positive relationships with his players from day one on the job, Saunders has said and done all the right things. But one must wonder, despite all the on and off-court problems, why has Saunders had so much trouble getting his team to trust his proven instruction?
It's rather baffling, but one diagnosis might be that, even with Gilbert Arenas, Saunders has not had a point guard who can adequately run his offensive system where the point is expected to handle the ball 80-percent of the time. You can only do so much with what you are provided, but in the same turn, Saunders clearly hasn't effectively unified with his message.
He was brought to D.C. to transform a team with his grade-A experience, but from a coaching perspective, Saunders has only provided C-minus results while his team has failed miserably. With new students expected to come via a trade within the next week, the coach can only hope for better luck next semester, lest the Wizards become the child that the teacher left behind.

{Trade Rumor Links}
The big news, which was first reported on Wednesday but is now being pumped a lot on ESPN News, probably because of who is involved (T-Mac) and where he would be going (New York), is a possible three-team trade between the Wizards, Rockets and Knicks. Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski reports the base being Tracy McGrady going to New York, Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to Houston, and Al Harrington to Washington.
Harrington is in the last year of a contract currently paying him just over $10 million. And with Butler and Haywood adding up to about $15.8 million, other pieces would obviously have to fall into place. The Washington Post's Michael Lee reported yesterday that the trade "doesn't have legs right now." So, even though it is being discussed hot and heavy, you can't put much more stock in this rumor than in ones of trades between Washington and Phoenix, Portland, Dallas, Cleveland or the LA Clippers.
Today, Lee reports that the Wizards are in discussions with several teams and that team president Ernie Grunfeld might be looking to "retool on the fly" as opposed to a complete rebuilding effort.
Here's what others are saying about the potential three-team trade:
Marc Berman of the NY Post writes:
The Wizards are looking to break up their team and take on the expiring contracts of Harington and either Larry Hughes or Darko Milicic in order to shed forward Caron Butler and possibly center Brendan Haywood, whom the Rockets view as strong assets. But more pieces have to be added — the Knicks likely have to put in $3 million of Jim Dolan's cash.
The Knicks and Rockets were unable to complete a deal because Houston general manager Darryl Morey asked for lottery pick Jordan Hill and Knicks president Donnie Walsh refused.
Frank Isola of the New York Daily News writes about Harrington:
D'Antoni believes that Harrington is hurting the development of Danilo Gallinari and also feels that Harrington is too shot happy. That may or may not be true.
Harrington is said to be upset that the coach won't allow him to operate in the low blocks and instead wants him out on the perimeter shooting 3's. In fairness to Harrington, he may be the Knicks best low post scorer, especially since D'Antoni won't play Curry.
Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle writes:
Let's begin with that Yahoo! report. The Rockets would do that deal — Tracy McGrady for Caron Butler and Brendon Haywood — in a heartbeat. There'd have to be other players included to make the salaries match, but if the Rockets could acquire Butler and Haywood without giving up Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, Chase Budinger or Luis Scola, they'd be absolutely thrilled.
So far, though, every team wants at least one of those guys, and Morey would like to keep his guys. He may not be able to do that, and in the end, we won't know how serious anyone is for at least a few more days.
Today, Justice, in a video, wonders if it's best that Morey and the Rockets don't make a move at all.
Eric Freeman of the Sporting News' "The Baseline" writes:
Woj rightly notes, though, that this deal is pretty bad for the Wizards, who would be starting their rebuilding process with this swap. That means they'd need a draft pick, and with New York's 2010 pick in the hands of the Jazz, it'd have to come from Houston. But would Morey want to give it up? It seems odd that someone who prizes cheap, efficient talent would want to trade away a first-rounder.
Mike Prada of Bullets Forever suggests a possible trade with McGrady going to New York; Butler, Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson going to Houston; and Harrington, Cuttino Mobley and Jordan Hill heading to Washington, along with a possible first rounder from Houston. I do that trade, but I'm not so sure Daryl Morey does.

When I download a file in Firefox on Windows Vista Beta 2 and select "Open in Containg Folder" in the downlaod manager, the software launches the file rather than opening the folder. This happens with all file types and in all instances.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download a file.
2.Right click and select "open in containing folder".
Actual Results:
The file launched, as if I had clicked open.
Expected Results:
The folder should have opened which contains the file.
How have you confirmed this is actually a Firefox bug, and not a Vista one? Testing a beta product on a beta product and all that ;)
I guess I have no way of knowing. It may be a Vista bug, but it may just as easily be a different way Vista handles this sort of request which will neccesitate a code change for Firefox in the future.
Confirmed on Windows Vista Beta 2 with Firefox 188.8.131.52.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060911 Minefield/3.0a1

This works fine in WinXP, so I'm confirming and reassigning to default asignee and QA contact of the component.
<- UNCON to NEW
<- Version: Trunk
works fine in RC1 using FF 2.0 Beta 2.
wfm. please reopen if you can reproduce this bug.

6-Alarm Fire in East Boston Causes $1.2 Million in Damages
Fire crews knocked down a 6-alarm fire at Webster and Sumner Streets in East Boston on Wednesday morning after the blaze had sent heavy smoke billowing into the sky above that area.
The Boston Fire Department responded to the scene at approximately 8:35 a.m. and found flames in multiple houses at 102 Webster St. and 309 Sumner St. According to The Boston Globe, the fire also spread to "a mixed use building at 317 Sumner St." before being knocked down.
The Globe report added that, at one point, all firefighters were ordered out of the buildings after there were concerns over a roof collapse. Once the fire was knocked down, the report said crews went back in to confirm that no one was inside.
The Boston Fire Department said one firefighter was treated and taken to the hospital for a leg injury.
Boston Fire Commissioner Joseph Finn estimated the damage at $1.2 million. Investigators are looking at "a possible elctrical short circuit" as the cause.
Pictures from the area showed crews working as heavy smoke billowed up from the scene.
