New Leaders Develops Great Principals to Create Great Schools
Our report "Teachers at Work: Designing Schools Where Teachers and Students Thrive," identified several organizations and models to learn from as we aim to nurture positive work environment in schools. New Leaders believes principals play in creating a great place for teachers to work, grow, and advance in their careers. We want to spotlight this for the field to consider and watch when contemplating broader action to address these issues.
Q: For readers who may not be familiar with your organization and its work, please provide a brief description of your organization.
New Leaders is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring high academic achievement for all children, especially students in poverty and students of color. We advance this mission by working hand in hand with districts to deliver tailored, evidence-based training to build dedicated, skilled leaders at every level of the education system. To amplify our impact, we also promote the policies and practices that allow great leaders to succeed.
Since 2000, we have trained 3,200 outstanding school leaders who annually reach approximately 500,000 students, in partnership with more than 30 districts and 150 charter schools. Our leaders overwhelmingly work on behalf of historically under-served students: Seventy-eight percent come from low-income households, and 87 percent are children of color. Further, our alumni community is remarkably diverse: Sixty-four percent of New Leaders are people of color, compared with just 20 percent of school leaders nationally. To learn more about New Leaders, please visit www.newleaders.org.
Q: In what ways are you/your organization supporting principals to build a positive work environment specifically for teachers?
All of our programming is based on the Transformational Leadership Framework (TM), which distills the actions high-performing principals take to build school structures, systems, and practices that promote teacher effectiveness and accelerate student achievement. Of note, there is an entire strand of work around school culture—highlighting the important role principals play in creating a great place for teachers to work, grow, and advance in their careers. Further, under the talent management strand leaders are taught how to identify teachers for leadership roles and how to build instructional leadership teams focused on organizing teacher collaboration and professional development. Finally, we spend a significant amount of time pushing program participants to reflect on and strengthen their personal leadership skills so they can model the equity-focused, adaptive, resilient leadership that supports an environment of trust, strategic risk-taking, and sustained collaboration amongst teachers.
For example, Aspiring Principals prepares tomorrow's principals to deliver breakthrough results by equipping them with knowledge, skills, and real-world practice to build schools where teachers grow and students excel. The heart of Aspiring Principals is a yearlong residency, during which program participants learn as a cohort over the summer and through evening classes while serving as a full-time member of a school's instructional
leadership team during the school year. Throughout training, expert facilitators help residents practice, refine, and master key skills as they guide and coach a team of teachers to work together to achieve success for their students.
Q: How do you think about the school leader's role in building and supporting a positive work environment?
Children need access to teachers who can help them learn to think flexibly, creatively, and critically, mastering essential knowledge as well as the skills to apply that knowledge wherever their studies and aspirations take them. And we know that more than 97 percent of teachers list school leadership as essential or very important for their career decisions — more than any other factor.
To get and keep great teachers in every classroom, across an entire school, we need great school leaders. And while transformational principals often seem like one-of-a-kind superheroes, the reality is that the success of such leaders derives from a surprisingly uniform set of high-impact leadership practices. When these practices are carried out with fidelity, our research has shown they consistently result in strong, sustained improvements for teachers and students.
How? Highly effective principals are, first and foremost, instructional leaders. They observe and coach teachers and facilitate in-school learning to help educators continuously improve their practice. They are also relentlessly focused on recruiting, developing, and retaining outstanding teachers, including by helping them grow, take on leadership roles, and advance in their careers.
And they create a great place to work. Successful principals make sure teachers know they are valued, including by deeply respecting and maximizing their time, and they foster a strong community among colleagues. Further, they delegate leadership and responsibility, and in doing so, give teachers ownership over school decisions and initiatives.
Do You have Success Stories You Would Like To Share With Other Educators and Practitioners?
Q: What are the key elements of your work that best enable school leaders to successfully accomplish this?
The most crucial aspects of our programming are:
- Skills for success. We cultivate all the skills leaders need for success, such as building a team capable of enacting ambitious improvement plans and delivering feedback that propels teacher growth.
- Learning by doing. Program participants study and immediately apply the leadership skills that matter most as they lead a team of teachers in a real school and grapple with the unpredictable challenges leaders encounter every day.
- Expert coaching. Our expert facilitators have a record of distinguished success and use their deep knowledge and honed skills to provide participants with authentic, actionable, job-embedded coaching, feedback, and insight.
- Meaningful assessment. Because past performance is the best predictor of future success, we continuously evaluate program participants during the training year. Only those who lead measurable increases in teacher performance and student achievement earn endorsement for the principalship.
Q: Can you give 1-2 specific examples of what this looks like in practice?
When Tiffany Etheridge became principal at Belmont Elementary in Baltimore, MD, she wanted to fix everything at once: more than half of students were reading below grade level, the halls were unsafe, and 28 percent of students were chronically absent. She immediately set new expectations, including requiring teachers to engage in regular data analysis and consistently enforce behavior expectations. Though her actions were sound, she immediately encountered challenges: teachers were resentful, and some parents were actively hostile.
At a New Leaders training session, Etheridge's advisor, who had observed her closely at school, asked key questions about steps she could take to build buy-in, helping her recognize the importance of balancing her sense of urgency with the need to engage staff and the larger school community to build a shared vision. Etheridge used skills developed during her training to create a leadership team including respected staff who, having helped informed the new approaches, spread enthusiasm for change. She supported teachers and other staff to assume leadership roles and she created sustainable structures for teachers to work together to address student needs and grow as professionals.
As a result of these efforts, positive change is underway. Chronic truancy dropped dramatically, the percentage of students reading at grade level jumped by double digits, and enrollment is climbing.
Q: What outcomes have you seen when school leaders are successful at building a positive work environment specifically for teachers? Can you give one or two specific examples?
Our alumni get results where it matters most: in schools, for kids. An independent study by the RAND Corporation found that students who attend New Leader schools outperform their peers by statistically significant margins specifically because of the strong leadership of their New Leader principal. And a review of school leadership interventions cited New Leaders as the principal preparation program with the strongest evidence of positive impact on student achievement.
When principals intentionally cultivate a strong, positive professional culture, teachers can thrive and do their best work for kids.
New Leader David O'Hara eloquently summarized this work: "I have seen firsthand that when teachers have time to work together, drive their own learning, and craft shared plans to support our students, they are happier and more fulfilled. They are also more effective." Further, he explains, "By making this time part of the regular school day, rather than something teachers must do above and beyond their already grueling hours, collaboration becomes a sustainable, recurring, energizing part of the job."
For example, at Acorn Woodland Elementary School in East Oakland, California, led by New Leader Leroy Gaines, all teachers hold multiple roles, serving on the school site, instruction, or culture teams, and providing coaching and feedback to their colleagues. By supporting teacher learning, collaboration, and leadership, Principal Gaines has created a flourishing school where adults love to work. And in a district where 70 percent of teachers leave within five years, Acorn's educators tend to depart only when moving to principal positions.
Q: What are the next steps in your work? Meaning, what are you trying to figure out next in order to build on this work? Where do you see opportunities for further innovation, development, or learning?
We know that leadership matters greatly for teachers, students, and families. And we are seeing early evidence that when crucial leadership practices are shared and supported by leaders at all levels of the system— teacher leaders, school leadership teams, principals, and principal supervisors—there is a powerful multiplier effect, and students and schools do even better.
Why? When principals are supported by leadership teams that shoulder leadership responsibilities and by supervisors focused on coaching rather than compliance, their job becomes more manageable and sustainable — and they are more effective.
When we began seeing how effective shared, aligned leadership models were in our most successful schools and networks, we knew we had to update our approach. In recent years, we've expanded beyond our evidence-based principal preparation program to deliver programming that meets the distinct needs of teacher leaders, instructional coaches, assistant principals, principals, and principal supervisors, helping them grow as individual leaders and together as leadership teams. Now partners can come to us with the identified learning gaps of their educational workforce, and we can provide specific leadership content and tailored delivery methods to help them reach their goals.
This shift has been challenging, yet necessary — and we still have much to learn. Happily, we are not alone in this work. There is growing interest across the field in shared leadership models, and emerging research confirms that aligning and dispersing strong leadership practices at all levels of the education system can help us more rapidly advance our goals for school and student success.

GEORGETOWN COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - Six people were arrested this past week in Georgetown County after investigators seized drugs, weapons and cash.
Deputies with the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office and agents with the 15th Circuit Drug Unit made the arrests and seized narcotics and cash along with three loaded handguns.
On Tuesday, investigators said they stopped Antwan Grant and Adrian Robinson pulling into a Georgetown motel and recovered a loaded .40 caliber handgun, a significant quantity of heroin and a large amount of money.
The sheriff's office says Grant, who was wanted for drug distribution and was out on parole, was arrested and charged with driving under suspension, trafficking Heroin, distribution of heroin and distribution of a controlled substance within 1⁄2 mile of a school or park. Robinson was charged with unlawful carry of a pistol.
On Wednesday, Gregory Tisdale and Lasha Ford, who is out on bond for trafficking heroin in Berkeley County, were stopped for a traffic violation.
"Agents subsequently recovered two loaded 9mm handguns (one of which was reported stolen), a large amount of methamphetamine as well as distribution related amounts of heroin, cocaine and marijuana," GCSO officials said.
Both Tisdale and Ford were charged with trafficking methamphetamine, PWID heroin, PWID cocaine, PWID marijuana, possession of a stolen pistol and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Tisdale was additionally charged with driving under suspension.
On Thursday, agents were looking for Herbert Lee Grant for active drug distribution arrest warrants.
Grant, along with Dezron Green, were located in a vehicle on Hampton Court in Georgetown.
Authorities said Grant, who is out on bond for distribution of a controlled substance, was arrested on two warrants for distribution of heroin 2nd offense and two warrants for distribution of a controlled substance within 1⁄2 mile of a school or park.
Officers said he was in possession of cocaine at the time of his arrest and charged him with possession of cocaine 2nd offense. Green was charged with possession of marijuana and released.

An early cost estimate MPs had when they were approving the HS2 high-speed rail project was "enormously wrong", a former HS2 boss has told BBC Panorama.
Doug Thornton said the costing underestimated the value of many properties HS2 needed to purchase along the proposed route and thousands more had not been budgeted for.
Mr Thornton said the figure MPs saw was hundreds of millions of pounds too low. He was later dismissed.
HS2 rejects claims MPs were misled.
It says it followed the correct process to keep Parliament updated on budgetary changes.
Another former senior HS2 insider agreed that the company had had estimates that were higher than the early costing that MPs had at the time.
HS2 is the biggest infrastructure project in Europe. The government says it will cost £56bn, with the first phase from London to Birmingham coming in at £27bn.
The spending watchdog, the National Audit Office, investigated the land and property programme earlier this year.
It found estimated property costs did increase significantly but concluded HS2 was not required to provide its updated estimates to MPs.
However, Mr Thornton said he refused to use figures he believed were misleading.
"I have never seen anything like it", he told the BBC.
"I was absolutely appalled… that numbers could be advanced in such a loose and slapdash fashion."
"There was a gap of almost 100% in terms of the wrong numbers of properties that the organisation had not budgeted for.
"We started to talk about it to our finance team, we talked about it to HR, we talked about it to line managers, so it was there, we were calling it out," he said.
Mr Thornton was subsequently sacked by HS2.
The Sunday Times previously reported that it had seen documents in which Mr Thornton said HS2's official budget for buying land and buildings was based on "rudimentary map-based analysis by interns".
These new claims come amid recent turmoil at the company responsible for the project.
When the joint chairman of HS2 and the troubled Crossrail project, Sir Terry Morgan, resigned earlier this month he warned of possible cost issues ahead for HS2, talking of the "challenge inside the project" to stay on time and on budget.
The railway company is involved in the biggest land and property acquisition programme since World War Two, buying a total of 70 sq km of land.
Panorama has spoken to a number of people whose properties are in the path of the high-speed railway, who have complained of low valuations and delays in compensation after finding out their homes and premises were needed by HS2.
Ron Ryall's Elizabethan home is in the path of the viaduct that will carry the railway in Buckinghamshire. He said HS2 had offered him far less than the property is worth.
Meanwhile, Paul Tropman who owns Wood Waste, a wood recycling business on the outskirts of Birmingham, said he had been left hundreds of thousands pounds out of pocket after his business was forced to relocate.
"I think they've overspent and the only way they can get their money back is by robbing the likes of us," he told the BBC.
HS2 is still working to settle their cases. Chief executive Mark Thurston said the company always paid a fair price and has only had to use its compulsory purchase powers in a small number of cases.
Mr Thurston did recently acknowledge a cost gap within the project as a whole and that he is in talks with contractors to reduce costs.
But he told Panorama: "I'm not worried about overspending, I'm confident we've got a budget we can stand by."
You can watch Panorama: HS2 – Going off the Rails? on Monday 17 December at 19.30 on BBC One, or on BBC iPlayer afterwards.

You've made it past the interview, accepted the offer, and are now preparing for your first month as a new employee. It's exiting and overwhelming. Besides meeting new people, you'll be learning the ins and outs of a new company and a new position. To make the whole process run more smoothly, there are a few etiquette rules you should follow to make sure you start out on the right foot:
1. Don't be late.
You'll soon learn whether it's OK to leave an hour early on Fridays or come in 15 minutes late when the traffic is bad, but for now, err on the safe side. Observe what other employees do but ask your boss for the run down on what's expected of you.
2. Be professional.
You'll be meeting a lot of people and they'll have a lot of questions for you. Don't feel obligated to divulge too much personal information or dish out your life story. If you're not comfortable being put on the spot, repeat the same question back to your inquisitor after you give a short answer.
3. Keep it PG.
Swearing may be acceptable at your workplace or on your team, but don't count on it. Again, stay professional and wait for cues from others before cracking jokes or using risky language. If your boss doesn't use it, it's a good sign that you shouldn't.
4. Work hard.
Save the personal calls, lunchtime errands, and doctors appointments for down the road. Right now is the time to focus on learning the job and asking thoughtful questions. That means you should also unglue your smartphone from your hand and stay off Facebook and Twitter.

Going to USA later this year for family holiday so am in middle of planning things. Kids want to take and use their Samsung Galaxy S5 mini mobiles and I've seen a USA TMobile tourist pack for $30US that gives them 21 days of data and txt etc.
Kids have android phones - about 20 months old and they are on 2 degrees network. I've followed the online instructions for unlocking ( apparently free if after 9 months since purchase ) and get a message back saying " We don't recognise that IMEI number OR your phone is not locked to the 2 degree network ".
I've since popped my telecom SIM into their phones and can make calls etc using it so I'm presuming the phones are already unlocked.
I also called up their customer care who were helpful and said the phones were automatically unlocked after 9 months - which isn't quite what their website states but he was confident it was the case.
Prior to ending up stateside with 3 phones that turn out to be locked and the grief of 3 teenagers, I'm assuming from the above information + the fact they working with a Telecom SIM - that all is well.
Just need to check to see how the T Mobile USA bands align to the phones.
WOuld appreciate if those in the know can confirm or tick off the above should be fine :)
Thanks again

Bronchitis Medical Advice: Bronchitis Medical Advice
Acute bronchitis usually occurs due to some viral chest infection. Approximately 5 percent of adults report having acute bronchitis yearly, and acute bronchitis is the ninth most common reason why adults and their physicians visit.

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from. Bronchitis may be either long-term or acute. An affliction that is more serious, chronic bronchitis, is a continuous irritation or inflammation of the bronchial tubes, often as a result of smoking. Chronic bronchitis is among the conditions contained in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Chronic Bronchitis Symptoms, Treatment and Contagious
Bronchitis is considered chronic when a cough with mucus remains for at least two years in a row, and at least three months. Bronchitis occurs when the trachea (windpipe) and the big and small bronchi (airways) within the lungs become inflamed because of illness or annoyance from other causes. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are kinds of a condition characterized by progressive lung disease termed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Bronchitis Natural Treatments
While acute or short long-term bronchitis is the most common effect of a cold, or virus, chronic bronchitis which is a type of COPD, is most often caused by cigarette smoking or exposure to other lung irritants. Both a treatment for severe and chronic bronchitis, acute too and taking a teaspoon of raw onion juice mixed with lemon and honey every morning can perform wonders. Finally, in regards to the chronic bronchitis treatment that is finest, one cannot overlook the significance of removing exposure to toxic substances in the air and for many people, this means quitting smoking.

Fall has officially arrived and now I can wear all my fave colors, jackets and boots. Pulled out my trusty Zara leather the other day for the first time 🙂 Felt like we've been away from each other for years. Yes, me and my leather jacket have a connection. It's my number one recommended staple piece to have in your closet, next to a good blazer and denim.
This outfit was effortless and easy to put together. Simple and stylish. Two words I live by when it comes to day to day dressing. Had to run a few errands that day with my daughter and just wanted to be comfy getting in and out of the car.
These colors can be transitioned into any season. Neutrals are a go all year round, not to mention you can get the most for your money. I've never been one to out away my Spring and Summer clothing, and never will be the person. The only thing that gets put away are Winter accessories. But, this is by far and will probably always be my favorite time of the year.
I love layering, chunky scarves, and beanies. However, you can keep the annoying winter coats. I will try my best to get the top half of my body layered enough to be equal to a winter coat lol ..

You know what I want to do?
I have an old IBM thinkpad. It's a 486. I love the keyboard and trackpoint. It actually still runs and I've got linux on it, but it doesn't have USB, it doesn't have a working battery.. and it's pretty much useless. I've also got a Coby Kyros tablet with HDMI out and a busted screen. If I could get debian running on the kyros, and get the keyboard/mouse/other ports working and just take apart everything inside the thinkpad, I'd have a nice solid little arm based laptop. dare I? Would it be wrong? Should I wait for someone to produce an arm based motherboard for just such a purpose? IE: Rejuvinating old laptops?

a challenge for biblical literalism

My arithmetic puts Noah's ark at
cubic feet.
According to
one source
there are
unique species of insects, plants, animals, and avians we know of today. That's to say nothing of other varieties of life on earth: bacteria or viruses. But we can assume for the sake of argument that there was bacteria on the hull and that Shem caught the flue that month.
Now, I'm going to take the species as being the smallest unit of "kind" to which the bible refers, because if we do not then we must account for existing species which were not on the ark. Which would mean admitting speciation. And we can't do that because it would be tantamount to admitting evolution, right?
Granting that the bible is inerrant, when Jehovah orders Noah to take "two of every kind" into the ark he must necessarily have boarded 3,178,722 life forms, male and female.
This puts the amount of space for each life form in the ark at less than half a cubic foot. Any way you want to slice that half a foot still is no less a crunch. Even when you account for most being insects. Then you have to store enough food for all of those creatures to last 40 days. How about the carnivores? Do you pack extra animals in there to feed them?
This is a very serious question for the literalists, but it is also fairly common. Theists will opine that the animals brought onto the Ark were mating pairs and that they left embryos rather than stay aboard themselves.
Another question has to do with the ventilation system.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above;
According to the Book, there was a single window of size 1-cubit x 1-cubit as the only opening in the whole ship. In order to bring in enough breathable air for all the animals and people would require a small jet engine.

A few days ago, I got the opportunity to visit the set of the hilarious NBC comedy, Marry Me to observe production and chat with the cast. I got the scoop on upcoming episodes. Next week's episode features Jerry O'Connell (The League) as one of Jake's long lost friends whom Annie tries to reunite with Jake when she realizes that he needs more groomsmen to match her nine bridesmaids. And then there's the one that airs on Feb 3rd, where Gil attempts to throw Jake a bachelor party while Annie and Dennah sign Jake's mom, Myrna, up for online dating.
The cast gushed over the fabulous co-stars they've had the opportunity to work with including Matthew Del Negro (Scandal), who plays a fireman that both Dennah and Gil become obsessed with, and Nia Vardalos, who plays Annie's biological mom in a future episode. They also shared their wish list for actors they would love to see on the show if they were granted a second series. JoBeth Williams would love for Viggo Mortensen to play a potential love interest for Myrna, while Tymberlee Hill confessed that working with Whoopi Goldberg would be a dream come true.
Tymberlee Hill was also kind enough to share with me her thoughts on Kay's love life and her hopes for Kay in season 2.
"You know, I think I would like for Kay not to keep playing the field," says Hill. "This season I've had like four, not even just mentions, but actual human actor bodies in here as (Kay's) girlfriends—all crazy but all very attractive. I don't know if Kay will settle down or not. I like her wild, but I think it would be fun to see her in that circumstance."
One reason Hill likes the idea of Kay settling down a bit is because it would be interesting for her to explore personally. "We have a lot of relationship issues in common. I don't suppose that has anything to do with being friends with David," offers Hill who is a longtime friend of the show's star, Casey Wilson, and her husband, Marry Me creator and showrunner, David Caspe.
Though Hill isn't sure what the fate of Kay's love life will be, she is a big fan of her latest co-star Ana Ortiz who will play, Kay's girlfriend Haley for several episodes later this season.
"Ana Ortiz has come on to play my girlfriend and she is great! Above and beyond! She is the most fun. I have literally fallen in love with her! She just came in like pow! I mean, she's on!" Hill gushes.
Though Hill has kissed "tons of dudes" on stage, her kiss with Ortiz was her first onscreen kiss of any kind. "I've never kissed anyone on camera and when I finally did it's a woman, and then it's Ana Ortiz! I was like, 'Thank God!' It was terrifying. I kept thinking, 'Who will it be? What if she's a bitch?' Neither one of us had ever kissed a woman on screen before and I thought I would be the only one who is nervous or even thinking about something like that, but it was so lovely. There was this weird moment where we were both supposed to do it and neither one of us was saying anything and then she was like, (whispers) 'I'm going to kiss you this time' and I was like 'OK. Good, Good, Good. OK.'"
The kiss came as a relief because it's the anticipation that causes the nervous energy. "Because you know for the rehearsals, you don't kiss, and you don't kiss, and you don't kiss. And then (once you do) it's fine. It's not awkward at all," adds Hill.
Obviously the chemistry between Hill and Ortiz is strong because they kept bringing Ortiz back for more and more episodes.
"I don't know if Kay will continue to have a girlfriend but she's really been integrated into the show. I told her last night, "It's like you were never not here."
It seems that Tymberlee Hill is hopeful about Kay's future with Haley. She keeps telling Ortiz, "You might be my woman. You might be my woman!"
I, for one, am keeping my fingers crossed.

Congrats Joe. Your Mother would be so proud.
New gig for an old coach
May 30, 2017
A reputable Sault Ste. Marie native has become the 22nd head coach in the storied history of the Michigan Tech Huskies hockey program that was established back — way back — in 1919.
54-year old Joe Shawhan has been promoted from assistant coach to bench boss of the reigning Western Collegiate Hockey Association champions from Michigan Tech.
Born and raised in the Michigan Sault and someone who maintained a hockey presence in the Canadian Sault, the affable Shawhan is coming off his third season as an assistant under the since-departed Mel Pearson at Michigan Tech.
Shawhan takes the helm of the Huskies from Pearson, who left Michigan Tech following the 2016-2017 championship season to replace retired legend Red Berenson as head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines.
One of the good guys in the game, Shawhan has more than paid his dues as an assistant coach at the Division 1, WCHA level. Besides three seasons at Michigan Tech, he has seven years experience from earlier full-time gigs with the Northern Michigan Wildcats and Lake Superior State Lakers.
A former goalie at Lake Superior State, Shawhan had hoped to return to his alma mater three years ago when the Lakers fired Jim Roque. But the Lakers passed on Shawhan and instead hired Damon Whitten as their new head coach. In a touch of irony, Shawhan subsequently left his assistant's job at Northern Michigan to replace Whitten as an assistant at nearby Michigan Tech.
As a head coach, Shawhan has considerable experience and success from an earlier 10-year gig with the Soo Indians of the junior level North American Hockey League.
While coach and general manager of the erstwhile Indians from 1995 to 2005, Shawhan won more games in the history of the NAHL when he compiled an astounding record of 474-162-43 and moved more than 100 of his players on to the National Collegiate Athletic Association ranks.
In taking over as the new head coach at Michigan Tech, Shawhan beat out a host of top candidates to get the job. And Michigan Tech athletic director Dr. Suzanne Sanregret spoke about the national search process that ended in the Huskies own back yard with the hiring of Shawhan.
"Joe has been an instrumental part of our success over the last three seasons, and winning has followed him in every program he has been a part of," Sanregret began. "We were looking for a coach to build upon our recent success and raise the program to yet another level. We were also looking for a leader who has integrity, character, and a genuine interest in developing players to be leaders both on and off the ice.
"Well, Coach Shawhan has all of these characteristics. He is a tremendous human being who will coach our hockey student-athletes for life. I look forward to working with Joe in the years to come. I am confident in his abilities as a coach, teacher, and professional, and he will continue to grow and advance Michigan Tech hockey," Sanregret added.
Shawhan, to be sure, is thrilled to be taking on the top hockey job at Michigan Tech.
"I am honored and excited for the opportunity to remain a part of the Michigan Tech family," Shawhan said. "The past three years have been an amazing journey. Sharing in the passion this community has for this university and hockey program has been an experience most only dream of. Tech hockey has a colorful history painted by legendary individuals and teams. My family and I are excited to be part of the next chapter."
Shawhan mentioned the "culture" that makes Michigan Tech hockey what it has become.
"My goal is to continue the work of my predecessors that allows each individual to grow into the person they are capable of," continued Shawhan. "Our culture is our strength and our great student-athletes drive our culture. The rest takes care of itself."
Jeff Jackson, two-time former national championship head coach at Lake Superior State and now the bench boss of the esteemed Notre Dame Fighting Irish, commented on the hiring of his former Laker goalie.
"I spent a lot of time with Joe at Lake State both as his coach for one year and afterwards during his time with the Soo Indians junior team. I learned to respect Joe for his knowledge and passion for the game. He's paid his dues and he is very deserved of getting the opportunity to become a head coach. He's worked for some good people and that has only accelerated his development as a coach. Joe's a good man, and I'm really happy for him," Jackson said in praise of Shawhan.
An active member of USA Hockey, Shawhan led the 2004 United States Junior National Team to a silver medal at the Viking Cup in Alberta as head coach and a bronze medal in 2002 as an assistant.
Meanwhile, Jeff Blashill, head coach of the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League, gave his thoughts on Shawhan and his elevation to become the main hockey man at Michigan Tech.
"I had always been extremely impressed with the job Joe did as the head coach of the Soo Indians," Blashill began. "I thought he always maximized the talent level on his teams and my brother played for him as well.
"I think Joe is somebody who has great hockey knowledge," Blashill continued. "I think he understands what it takes to win and is a lifelong student of the game. He will be an excellent head coach for Michigan Tech."
What you think about "New gig for an old coach"
What a great guy . Good buddy from men's league and Downtowner team and some Mayors Cup where he joined us on Mr. Transmission. Joey you have done well and was one hell of a goaltender.
Great choice
Well deserved! Good luck Joe.
Congratulations Joe! Well deserved!
Great choice !

Just under a year ago in Lisbon, the European project Parallel - European Photo Based Platform was officially launched: a network bringing together 18 recognised European institutions from 16 different countries (festivals, museums or magazines), photographers and emerging curators. The initial idea of this platform is to reduce barriers between these different professions by promoting mentoring. From 2017 to 2021, each year Parallel proposes a cycle during which emerging photographers are accompanied on a new project by a tutor: curator, critic or photographer. Then young curators invite these photographers to exhibitions in festivals or partner institutions. One year later, it is time for a review of this structure.
In Zagreb, at the beginning of September 2018, in the framework of the 10th anniversary of the Organ Vida festival, the scale of the project will be felt in the exhibition featuring 52 artists who are closing the first cycle and starting the second. On the occasion of this exhibition, many of the participants came: photographers and young curators of both cycles, directors of institutions and tutors. It is a strong moment of exchange but also a time of questioning, with the idea of continuing to develop this project after this experimental year. Some of the partners left, like the Charleroi Museum of Photography (Belgium) while Yet Magazine (Switzerland) joined the ship. New tutors, such as Monica Alcazar Duarte, photographer, or Marta Ponsa from the Jeu de Paume in Paris, accompany the newly recruited photographers on their commissions.
One of the major changes in this new cycle is the discontinuation of nominations by the partner institutions through an open call for applications. As a result, more than 700 applications were received, from which 28 photographers and 7 curators were selected. The partners thus question and discuss: why not continue the previous appointment system? Why not open to artists from other continents such as Asia or Africa, South America? Other topics are more sensitive, for example remuneration. Apart from gaining increased visibility, how can we reward the photographers who will spend a year on this project?
To fully understand the project's ideals, one can consider a quote from Jens Friis, founder of the Danish magazine Katalog, member of Parallel since the beginning. "To show the young photography is in our DNA, Parallel seemed to us to be a good tool to support this generation of authors and curators."
From the outside, the project may seem complex. To fully understand how this had materialized in the field for all these participants during the first cycle, we started from Parallel's diagram and had a closer look at four participants connected by the formalised structure, and who collaborated in one way or another. Here are the testimonies of a photographer, Antonina Gugula; a tutor, the photographer Federico Calvarino; an emerging curator Emese Mucsi and an institution through the testimony of Jenny Nordquist, artistic director of the Landskrona Festival.
Antonina Gugala/ Emerging photographer
Antonina Gugala, is a Polish photographer born in 1989. It was through the Lodz Festival in Poland that she was invited to take part in this first cycle. She had already had participated in several group exhibitions and had just completed her first solo exhibition in Poland as well as publishing two photobook dummies. It was Gugala's work called 'Histories' that started in Greece that she wanted to develop during Parallel. She explains the background to her images:
" 'Histories' constitutes a visual record of an ongoing investigation on identity formation and the role of material culture in this process. The photographic series focuses on affinities between everyday objects found in Greece throughout 2017 and ancient Greek artefacts from the collection of the National Museum in Warsaw. These understated expressions of everyday life are juxtaposed with a set of images of ancient Greek objects which are hand-held by museum workers in order to display their inventory numbers. The everyday objects serve as ametaphor for the peculiar stage in history, when the new order of things has not been established yet, and provisory but livable settings are still underway . Their stories are chronicled in detailed writing allowing the viewer access to their complex past."
When Gugala arrived in Lisbon a little less than a year ago, her expectation of the Parallel platform was above all to meet artists and curators from all over Europe, to build a network but never to imagine meeting more people in 10 days than in two years in Poland or Czech Republic, where she studies. Different levels of collaborations have been useful to her to develop her second chapter of 'Histories' with the enriching exchanges with her tutor, the photographer Federico Calvarino whom she describes as inspiring and attentive; this mentoring allowed her to re-think her text-photos relationship. These interactions and demonstrations have allowed Gugala to experiment with new forms of hanging, for example in the form of a huge wallpaper for Zagreb, while with the support of the curator Emese Musci, she will present in Landskrona both her pieces framed and a poster hanging on the wall, that each spectator can take away during his visit to the exhibition.
Federico Clavarino / Tutor 's photographer
Antonina Gugala's tutor was Italian photographer Federico Clavarino. This mentorship was beneficial for both: "We worked on one part of a larger project called 'Histories', which is made up of different chapters and that addresses important social, political and historical issues that I deem to be very relevant nowadays, by means of a multi-layered narrative in which the medium of photography is always approached from a slightly different angle," explained Clavarino.
As for the Parallel network, for him it gives opportunity to work with a lot of young practitioners from different countries and backgrounds. This is always very formative, and often a very intense human experience. But for the following editions of Paralelle, an essential element to re-think for him in the future, is that the tutors will be able to follow the emerging photographer until the end of the program; this didn't happen during this first cycle.
Musci Emese / Emerging Curator
The young Hungarian curator Musci Emese has a comprehensive vision of what the platform has allowed her to achieve. Having graduated from the Faculty of Contemporary Art Theory and Curatorial Studies at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in 2013, and from the Faculty of Hungarian Literature and Linguistics at the University of Szeged in 2017 Emese has been involved in organizing contemporary art exhibitions as a freelance curator since 2013. In March 2014, she became the Editor-in-Chief ( since 2018, only editor) of Artmagazin Online (artmagazin.hu). She is a board member of the Hungarian Section of AICA (International Association of Art Critics), and recently served as curator of Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center, Budapest.
Her interest in Parallel network came from her desire to work with a photographic festival. It was this opportunity that was most dear to her and Parallel effectively facilitated this interaction as she was able to collaborate with Jenny Nordquist, artistic director of the Landskrona Foto Festival.
The curatorial meeting in Kaunas in the middle of the year was a key moment for Emese, which allowed her to think her project through. She was also able to visit Landskrona two times before the Festival to prepare this project; times that allowed her to fully understand the photography scene in northern Europe. Through this collaboration, her network has grown with the advice and relationship with Nordquist. For example, through Parallel Emese had the opportunity to publish two books with international partners; the first the catalogue of her exhibition and the second and invitation by the Fondazione Fotografia Modena to publish an essay on two artists.
To conclude her mentoring in Parallel, Emese is curator of an exhibition entitled "The Future is ours", where she is exhibiting seven Parallel authors from September 14 to 23 at Landskrona Foto Festival: (Antonina Guga?a (PL),Ramona Güntert (DE), Pedro Sabino Koch (PT),Joshua Phillips (UK), Milán Rácmolnár (HU);Laura Rämö (FI), Jacopo Tomassini (IT)
It is also a way for her to open up a perspective of collaboration in the future with these artists. and a challenge to bring these different perspectives together and to set up a project in less than a year. Her chosen artists have in common that they could be considered part of the so-called 'Generation NEXT', with traits of a common past and future. Antonina Gugula was a strong choice because, as the curator explains, she visualises "the universal impact of the Greek Depression, she highlights the connections between everyday objects found on the streets of Greece throughout 2017 and ancient artefacts from the collection of the National Museum in Warsaw, which are evocative of the foundations of European identity."
Jenny Nordquist/ Landskrona Foto Festival Institution
An essential link in the Parallele platform is the Institution: Here, Jenny Nordquist, a Swedish artist and curator based in Copenhagen, represents Landskrona Foto Festival as artistic director. Between two hangings, she took the time to explain to us why the festival participated in this project: "One of the aims for Landskrona Foto is to support young photographers and to give them opportunities and Parallel is a great platform for this. The combination of mentoring and giving exposure helps to give the photographers international exposure that can be difficult for a recent graduate. It also gives them a network of fellow artists and photographer from a variety of countries. For exchanging ideas and experience. Landskrona Foto Festival is all about meeting and networking, the festival is not just a space for exhibitions but also a space for meetings and dialogue about photography. Parallel is also important for Landskrona since it helps us to be part of the European community of photography, it puts us on the international map. Not just does it help us with exposure in a European context but it also broadens our network, with photographers, artist, curators and other institutions and festivals. We learn a lot form the other members."
As for her collaboration with Emese Mucsi, she too is enthusiastic: "We started our collaboration already at a parallel meeting last autumn. It's been a process where we in the beginning discussed and followed the photographers' work and Emese worked on a concept for Landskrona- keeping it slightly open at the start since we in the beginning had no fixed space for the show. A festival is very different from an institution, we use various locations throughout the city and do not always know so long in advance what spaces we can use, that can be a curatorial challenge, but the space I had in mind from the start became available and then Emese could start to work more site specifiallyc in the selection of work from the artist. I am really happy with how she has used the space" for the show.
This year 2018/2019 will be another busy year with the second cycle of Parallel. The next meeting will be in Derby, during the Format festival in March 2019 where photographers and young curators will present their final projects to prepare the following exhibitions. First stage, May 2019, at the Water Tower / le Chateau d'eau in Toulouse, Jean-Marc Lacabe will welcome the emerging curator, Jon Uriarte, and then six others steps before closing of the second cycle in a year's time, at the end of September 2019 at the Capa Center in Budapest coinciding with the launch of the third cycle.
In summary, the output of this first edition of Parallel is positive, seeing high-quality exhibitions from more photographers and young curators collaborating with institutions. See you in a year in Hungary to follow evolution of this ambitious project.

Be sure to show up 15 minutes prior to your appointment. This allows for spare time to fill out paperwork, ask questions, and make known any other concerns you may have.
If you're having any anxiety centered around your visit, let the staff know so they can make you calm and comfortable during your appointment.

Most Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies are not easy. They can bring quite a bit of pain and discomfort to you. However, knowing about some of the most common dental emergencies can help get you through yours.
As mentioned before, they come at inconvenient times that don't really adhere to your schedule.
Lost tooth
One common dental emergency is a lost permanent tooth. Once you've established that you haven't endured any head trauma it's time to head to the dentist.
Your first priority is going to be locating your lost tooth. Pick it up by the part that is visible to your mouth, the crown. You can damage it if you pick it up by the root. And damage to the root can ruin your chances of having it implanted back into the empty socket.
You can preserve your lost tooth a couple of ways. You can try to put it back into the socket temporarily or putting it in a cup of milk or water until your appointment.
Tooth Abscess and Other Infections
These emergencies can be some of the worse. Not only are they painful, but they can be dangerous if gone untreated. It's important you seek treatment as soon as possible.
If you've had a chip that's close to your gum line, you are at risk for developing an abscessed tooth. Check if your mouth gets swollen or has red bumps similar to acne. If you think you may have an abscessed tooth, get to a dentist as soon as possible. You don't want to risk prolonging the infection as it will only become more serious.
Losing a crown or filling
Having a crown or filling fall out is a possibility especially if they've aged or have ever been damaged. If you've lost either of these, find some dental cement, gauze, or cotton balls and keep the tooth covered at all times. If the tooth is left open it can be damaged further and the emergency dentist may not be able to refill it which can result in an emergency tooth extraction.
Emergency Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions can be among the most stressful dental emergencies. The emergency dentist will make sure you don't feel any pain, just some light pressure. They will numb your mouth and make a few incisions to loosen the tooth.
Then, using dental pliers, the emergency dentist will use a rocking motion to loosen the tooth until it pops out. Sometimes the tooth has to be broken up into pieces if this initial method doesn't work.
Once the tooth is extracted, you will receive instructions for aftercare at home. These instructions must be followed to keep the extraction site clean and free from infection. This will assure that healing goes quickly and smoothly.
Emergency room vs. Emergency dentist
If you've been in an accident and have multiple injuries, you'll need to find out if you need an emergency room doctor or a dentist. If you've endured any head trauma, this is your first priority and you need to go to the emergency room.
Emergency room doctors are not equipped to save your teeth so if no head trauma has been endured, schedule your emergency dentist appointment.

The 5 Top Dog Friendly Cities
What makes a city a dog-friendly place to live or visit? Experts point out several characteristics to look for when seeking out dog-friendly destinations. Check out the city's available pet services like vets, kennels, trainers, groomers, and pet supply stores. A dog-friendly city should also have plenty of outdoor restaurants that welcome dogs, and also pet-friendly hotels. There should also be lots of dog-friendly attractions like parks, beaches, and hiking trails, as well as dog-friendly events such as 5K runs, agility trials, and social gatherings for people and dogs.
So, what cities meet these criteria and make the list of top dog friendly cities? Everyone has their own favorites, but here are a few places most dog lovers and their furry friends can agree on.
The 5 Top Dog Friendly Cities
1. Austin, Texas
Austin is known as an extremely dog-friendly city and ranks at the top of most lists. Not only do many restaurants and public outdoor spaces welcome dogs, Austin also prides itself on being a no-kill city, achieving an incredible 90% shelter live outcome rate for four years.
2. San Diego, California
With its legendary beautiful weather, San Diego is an ideal place for people and their dogs to spend lots of time enjoying the outdoors. Many restaurants have outdoor seating, and there are also plenty of off-leash dog parks. San Diego is home to many dog beaches, including the famous Dog Beach in Ocean Beach, one of the first off-leash dog beaches in the country.
3. Portland, Oregon
A progressive and dog-friendly city, Portland has plenty of restaurants and hotels where dogs are welcome, and most parks have off-leash areas. Portland urban development plans often take dogs into consideration. City residents routinely bring their dogs nearly everywhere they go, even the supermarket.
4. Minneapolis, Minnesota
Minneapolis prides itself on being a dog-friendly city. The city hosts lots of dog-themed events, there are dozens of off-leash dog parks, and when the weather's not too cold, tons of restaurants and bars with dog-friendly patios.

If you are one of the lucky millions of people who have an unashamed sweet tooth (or ten), then you know how convenient it is to have certain holidays be fueled by the consumption of all things sweet and tasty – Halloween, Valentine's Day etc. You also know that we don't really need a holiday to celebrate the genius and joy that is all things sweet and tasty.
Nevertheless, Valentine's Day is upon us and there are countless option to satisfy our deep and abiding cravings and chocolate-flavored impulses.

With our Wild West Taffy, Texas-sized jelly beans, pecan pralines and all kinds of chocolates, we are your one-stop shop for Valentine's Day happiness.
One of our most popular Texas sweet treats is our Longhorn Chocolates.

Smothered in caramel, dipped in chocolate and downright delectable, these pecan treats are sure to leave any self-respecting Texan in high spirits!
If you're looking for just a small taste of heaven, get the 6oz box but if you are committed to a more thorough, longer-lasting (hypothetically) experience go ahead and splurge on the 12oz box! Whatever you're looking for, we promise you won't be disappointed at our sweet selection of Texas goodies!

One thing I always loved about Massachusetts bookstores was the old town feel, since quite a few are in older homes or businesses, and the combination of new and old and/or used books. There are certain things I would do when I went home to visit my parents — eat mom-and-pop place pizza and subs, eat my favorite Chinese food, and go to an indie bookstore.
I've got my very own mom-and-pop pizza place and the best part is I can walk to it, which just opened here this year. And now, I've finally found the equivalent of my favorite bookstores in Maryland! It's only taken me 10 years. Novel Places is that bookstore, and their motto is very accurate!
My husband, "Wiggles," and I took a little ride to visit this cute little store on Frederick Road in Clarksburg. It's not that far from where we live and its a cute little shop inside an old general store/post office. I have a thing for older buildings, perhaps its growing up in a post-and-beam construction house that was always in need of repairs and upgrades, especially when you find tree trunks in the walls with bark still on them.
Novel Places has a great selection of used books from mystery/thriller to nonfiction and reference. There are a great number of new books as well, and there is a large section of children's toys, including those wood peg puzzles. In addition to books, the store offers space for up to 25 people for gatherings, tournaments, and other meetings. When we were there, they had a Magic tournament going on. Now, if I ever get another book club going, maybe we could have our meetings there! So if there are any interested people in Maryland near Clarksburg interested in starting a book club, I'm all ears.
Currently, they are honoring Borders Rewards members, which came in handy for me when I wanted to pick up a cool book about my current city/town! The store also offers Google ebooks downloading for those of you with ereaders, and you can get them to track down those hard to find books for you. There are some great gifts like book covers made of various fabrics and one of my favorite finds was the nice Atticus Books display, which is one of my favorite local publishers in Maryland (though I still am waiting for Tracks to arrive!). Check out these great photos from inside the store. I can't wait to see them expand upstairs!
Take the time to click on the Novel Places Logo at the top of the post, visit them on Facebook, and follow them on Twitter to see what's new. You can also find the owner, Patrick on LinkedIn. Come experience the quaint bookstore with me when you're in town!

Veterans home plan passes Gen. Assembly
6/14/2018, 6 a.m.
A measure introduced by state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, to require the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs to submit a biannual report on the health and of welfare of residents at veterans' homes has passed both the House and Senate and will now be sent to the governor.
"After the tragic Legionnaires outbreak in the Quincy Veterans Home, it was clear that we needed to create more accountability and transparency within the administration of veteran homes," Manley said."
Manley's House Bill 5784 will require a biannual report to be submitted to the General Assembly about the health and welfare of residents at state veterans homes, as well as information on any cases involving diseases in the homes. The measure is in response to the Legionnaires outbreak at the Quincy Veterans Home, in which 13 residents over the past three years have passed away due to complications caused by the disease. Dozens of residents and staff were also impacted by the disease, which continued to infect individual's years after its initial discovery.
For more information, please contact Manley's constituent service office at 815-725-2741 or email@example.com.

An Australian senator has resigned due to pressure brought about by media reports on his links with a wealthy Chinese political donor and acts deemed favorable to the policies of China's ruling Communist Party.
After mounting pressure, Australian Labor Party (ALP) senator Sam Dastyari announced his resignation from federal parliament on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
"I know Australia needs a Labor government and I refuse to let my personal situation put that prospect at risk. I have always put the pursuit of the Labor cause first," Dastyari said reported Fairfax Media.
"Reflecting on the events which led to my decision, I leave knowing that I've always honored my parliamentary oath," he said.
.@samdastyari has announced he is resigning from the Senate @SkyNewsAust #breaking #auspol pic.twitter.com/OEvrHd5SmP
— Caroline Marcus (@carolinemarcus) December 11, 2017
Dastyari's steady fall from grace began last year after he resigned from a frontbench position when it became known that he had a large legal bill paid by Yuhu Group property developers and admitted he asked a Chinese government-linked group to pay a personal travel debt of A$1,670 (US$1,280), reported the BBC.
The legal billed paid was for A$40,000 (US$30,000), reported the ABC.
More recently, pressured ramped up on the 34-year-old senator when he allegedly advised the owner of the Yuhu Group, billionaire Huang Xiangmo, that his phone was likely being tapped by intelligence services, including those of the U.S. government.
Dastyari denied the claims first made in Fairfax.
Multiple reports followed over further links with Huang, a Chinese Communist Party-linked political donor, and reports of actions that were more in line with Beijing policy than that of Dastyari's own Australian Labor Party.
Dastyari also recently received negative press over a 2016 speech in which he publicly backed Beijing's aggressive moves in the South China Sea. His comments, made while standing next to Huang, were the complete opposite of his party's and the country's stance on the issue.
More recently, Dastyari reportedly pressured his own party's foreign affairs spokeswoman, Tanya Plibersek, not to see a democracy activist in Hong Kong, reported Fairfax on Monday. Dastyari denied these claims as well.

Huang Xiangmo
But Huang's involvement in Australia's political behavior didn't end with Dastyari.
An earlier report by Fairfax Media said that the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) in October 2015 warned the country's three main political parties about Beijing's interference in Australian politics using considerable financial donations.
At the briefings, the head of ASIO Duncan Lewis reportedly told party officials that the country's security service was alarmed about Huang's murky ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Fairfax stated that since the 2015 ASIO briefing, the ALP has taken AU$141,000 (US$107,000) in donations from companies and associates linked to Huang. The coalition parties — the Liberal Party and the Nationals who currently run government — had also reportedly taken money. The Liberal Party took AU$122,960 (US$93,500) and the Nationals AU$15,000 (US$11,400) from those suspect sources.
Huang is a person of interest to Australian intelligence services because of his connections to the CCP, including how he was, until very recently, the head of a Sydney organization Australian Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification of China which has ties to the United Front Work Department — a CCP political lobbying and propaganda agency.
Huang is also on record telling a Communist Party newspaper that "political demands and political donations" should be linked.
On Tuesday, the ABC reported that Huang paid $55,000 to have lunch with ALP leader Bill Shorten on October 5, 2015. The donation was made on October 20 and the next day Shorten dropped his opposition to the China-Australia trade deal, reported the ABC.
In a later report, the ABC further revealed the extent of money paid on 13 separate occasions by four companies owned by Huang to Australia's two main political parties, the ALP and the ruling conservative Liberal Party. The donations ranged from $10,000 to $55,000.
The Liberal Party-linked 500 Club in Western Australia has invited Chinese government officials to be the star turn at a private fundraiser. They are from the Communist party-run government whose influence Mr Turnbull is now so worried about.https://t.co/m5aj0bHCPg pic.twitter.com/jr7Y6s4kyk
— JohnPaul (@jpcenzato) December 12, 2017
Political Donations
Former ALP leader Kim Beazley said Dastyari was "on a spectrum" of politicians apparently influenced by foreign powers, reported Fairfax.
"This guy is just the most comprehensive example of what is an across-the-board pattern and that includes a lot of donations to both sides of politics," said Beazley.
According to an analysis by the Melbourne Law School Dollars and Democracy Database provided to The New Daily, political donations with links to mainland China represented 79.3 percent of all foreign donations.
The analysis reported that between 2000-2016, Chinese nationals and entities donated over A$12.6 million (US$9.5 million) to the Australian political process. Researchers also found during this period, the ALP's political bodies were more popular with Chinese donors, receiving A$7.3 million (US$5.5 million) since 2000-01, while the Coalition received about A$5.4 million (US$4.0 million).
The ongoing concerns about Beijing's inferring in domestic politics have resulted in the federal government introducing tougher foreign interference laws.
