What Matters for Thursday, March 31, 2016
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
The hubbub over HB2 continues. Chad starts the show drawing attention to the latest efforts by the LGBT community and others to make businesses feel guilty over their bathrooms. He shares the latest stories on HB2 including Chicago's Mayor saying he was start poaching businesses from our state. Chad says we should let them try and see what actually happens.
Next, WBTV Investigative Reporter Nick Ochsner joins us. Chad asks about the stories Nick has done on funding the Connect NC bond. He tells Chad they uncovered a possible misuse of monies by the Connect NC Committee to promote the bond. Nick says he went to former Supreme Court Justice Bob Orr, who he greatly respects, who was also on the committee, and asked if this was legal. He says Justice Orr told him that's the way it's been done since 2000. Chad asks what can be done if misuse is proven. Nick says he thinks someone would have to take up the case. Chad asks Nick about another story he did on Mecklenburg County State Senator Joyce Waddell who got paid for the special session on HB2 though she never showed up. Nick says he asked Sen. Dan Blue about those who chose to walk out and not vote. Sen. Blue told him many didn't feel their opinions were represented and that's what they were elected to do – represent their constituents.
In the second hour, Civitas Education Policy Analyst Dr. Bob Luebke joins Chad. They discuss the NEA's National Teacher Salary Ranking Survey. Bob explains North Carolina always ranks low on the list. He says while most media outlets don't put this in their coverage of the study, the group that puts the study together even says the information presented shouldn't be used without proper context. Chad says he's not surprised since this is never a reliable indicator of actual teacher salaries. Bob says the study doesn't consider how many new teachers have been hired which lowers the average salary for everyone, the average cost of living, how salaries are funded or how they are calculated (the benefits that are included). He says this makes the study fundamentally unreliable because it doesn't compare apples to apples. Chad tells Bob our system has too many disincentives to make some want to improve. Bob agrees and adds this should be changed if we want to make our state's educational system better. Chad asks how you change the system. Bob says he wrote a story a few years ago about getting rid of the salary system and replacing it with a performance-based scale. He says he has never gotten more of a response to a story than that one – especially from teachers. Bob says a better way would also be tying more salary increases to merit.
Finally, remember when you used to have to earn good grades (A's and B's)? Chad shares a study that says social promotion is replacing realistic grading of students. And we wonder why Johnny can't read.
Investigative Journalist and businessman James Simpson, Congressman Mark Meadows and Time Warner Cable News Political Reporter Tim Boyum join us tomorrow.

Is Bank Of America's Stock About To Reward Risk Takers?
Follow Comments Following Comments Unfollow Comments
Today's price action in Bank of America (BAC) shares marks what could be the final stage of the payoff for risk takers as the stock moves from $15 to $20 a share–a price target identified in the stock's price action as early as April 2012. Two years ago anyone interested in holding shares of the company faced a very serious risk. At that time option traders priced in the possibility that shares of the Raleigh, North Carolina based banking giant would either become worthless or would more than double in price over the following two years.
Any buyer at that time had to face the realistic possibility that the company would enter bankruptcy, but it seems the risk has paid off so far. Since November of 2011 the company's shares have nearly tripled in price. Of course it didn't hurt that Warren Buffet made what was tantamount to a hard-money loan to the company by purchasing shares in the stock. But both he and existing Bank of America shareholders came out winners. His de facto endorsement of the company's management led the way for new investors to take the stock seriously again.
Today after the stock's meteoric rise, a prudent investor has to wonder whether the stock's upward trend is exhausted or whether there is still opportunity to be found in this stock. To be sure the company faces the possibility of stiff legal challenges and regulatory hurdles, but with real estate prices rebounding somewhat and political battles shifting away from finance towards healthcare, perhaps the risks have at least partially abated. That particular kind of risk is impossible to quantify, so it is reasonable to turn to the oldest form of crowd-sourced research known to the markets, namely Technical Analysis.
Consider the following two charts.
The first is what is known as a point and figure chart. This style of chart removes time and volume and concentrates only on price changes. The methods for reading such charts are not commonly known, but the formation shown in figure 1 (below) is a setup which projects the potential for a price move starting at $10 and moving as high as $20. The move initiated right at the time of BAC's heaviest option premium, so the chart pattern setup was corroborated by the extreme prices of the stock's options.
Figure 1: BAC price action targets $20
The chart shows a vertical move which isn't finished yet. But since the point and figure chart compresses time, it is difficult to know at what moment the final push towards $20 could initiate. That's where the second chart comes in. Figure 2 (below) shows the price pattern over the last six months. Just today that pattern appears to have begun a major change.
Figure 2. BAC breaking out of a four-month long channel.
When stocks consolidate their price activity into a bounded range for an extended period of time, then the balance of buyers and sellers appears to have reached a kind of equilibrium. Once the price moves beyond the bounds of that range, then the equilibrium has begun to be disrupted. If the price of the stock breaks out of the channel, a short-term opportunity appears for traders and investors alike.
In the case of BAC the share price has broken out of a channel-like flag pattern. The upward target of this breakout is about $16.50, just over a 10% increase, projected to complete in the next couple of months. A move like that could easily spark a run towards the ultimate price target of $20 during the year 2014.

St. John's storms past No. 3 Duke
Top 25: No. 18 Washington falls to rival Cougars
The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Teams that beat Duke have reason to celebrate. Teams that blow Duke out of the building should be able to party all night.
So, how long will the St. John's players be allowed to celebrate Sunday's 93-78 victory against No. 3 Duke -- a game that wasn't as close as the final score indicated?
"Coach Lav said we had two hours to celebrate and then we have to get ready for Rutgers,'' senior forward Justin Burrell said, referring to first-year coach Steve Lavin and the Red Storm's next opponent on Wednesday.
Two hours? It will take longer than that just to go over the highlight plays of a game that St. John's had won by halftime. Those last 20 minutes were just a formality.
"I felt like we were ready. The guys wanted to play this game,'' Duke guard Nolan Smith said. "We wanted to be here but they came out from the jump ball and kicked our butts.''
It wasn't that St. John's (12-8) beat the Blue Devils (19-2), it was the way it happened.
St. John's was finishing a stretch of eight consecutive games against ranked teams. This win gave them three wins in that span. It was enough to have Lavin waving his arms to the crowd at a media timeout in the second half.
"You're caught up in the moment of the game and I wanted St. John's fans to come to the party in terms of supporting the players on the court,'' Lavin said. "We had this arduous stretch of games and having lost five of six, at that moment it was just wanting to jumper cable the crowd and bring energy for our players because they deserved a pat on the back and some appreciation for the yeoman's effort and the cohesive brand of basketball they had been playing against the defending national champion.''
The Red Storm, who had lost three in a row and five of six, took control early and had a 46-25 lead at halftime. Duke, which came into the game shooting 40 percent from 3-point range, missed its first 10 shots from behind the arc and made one of 13 in the half.
The Blue Devils' overall shooting wasn't a whole lot better as they shot 29.6 percent (8 of 27) in the half -- they entered the game shooting 48.1 percent from the field -- and they were careless with the ball as well, committing 11 turnovers, one off their season average for a game.
St. John's had a lot to do with how poorly Duke played, using a three-quarter court trap to force the Blue Devils into low percentage passes that almost all seemed to either be stolen by St. John's or just thrown away.
"It's not an Xs and Os thing today,'' Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I felt we were not ready to compete, we had blank expressions on our faces and guys weren't talking and that's my responsibility. Our program didn't do well today and that is all our responsibilities.''
There was plenty of praise to go around for the Red Storm, who gave the Big East a 6-1 record against teams ranked in the top 10 this season. They were 16 of 28 from the field (57.1 percent) in the first half, well above the 45.2 percent the Red Storm were shooting coming into the game.
Dwight Hardy had 26 points for St. John's, while Justin Brownlee had 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists and Paris Horne added 15 points and six assists. St. John's shot 58.2 percent for the game (32 of 55) and was 26 of 33 from the free throw line.
"I thought our team from the outset executed with precision on offense and brought great intensity to the defensive end of the floor,'' Lavin said, "and we were able to maintain a high level of basketball for 40 minutes and that was the difference.''
Duke's loss continued the weekend of misery for members of the Top 25. On Saturday, four teams in the top 10 and 11 ranked teams overall lost.
Smith led Duke with 32 points and Kyle Singler added 20. Duke finished 5 of 26 from 3-point range -- they missed 21 of the first 22 attempts -- and had 17 turnovers.
"To sum it up they got whatever they wanted and we just weren't able to bounce back and match them,'' Singler said.
The sellout crowd of 19,353 at Madison Square Garden -- about 60 percent of whom were cheering for St. John's -- seemed to be waiting for a run by the Blue Devils, who had won four consecutive since its loss at Florida State, that would make their nightmare half go away.
St. John's came out and scored the first two baskets of the second half - one on a dunk by D.J. Kennedy 10 seconds in, the other on a layup by Hardy off a nice pass from Dwayne Polee II - to take its biggest lead of the game, 50-25 1:04 into the second half.
St. John's had doubled Duke and the Red Storm managed to score enough the rest of the way to keep the Blue Devils at bay. The closest Duke would get would be 11 points after they hit four consecutive 3-pointers to pull to 87-76.
"I was really excited,'' said Burrell who had eight points and five rebounds. "I'm one of those guys who really enjoys college basketball and I was excited to be a part of this.''
The Red Storm started their run against ranked teams with a 61-58 victory against then-No. 13 Georgetown. After losses to Notre Dame and Syracuse, they beat then-No. 9 Notre Dame 72-54 in a rematch. Losses to Louisville, Cincinnati and Georgetown preceded the win against Duke. All three wins were at Madison Square Garden.
"This was an interesting stretch as a coach,'' Lavin said. "I don't think it had ever happened. The mathematical probabilities have got to be one in a zillion. We've had to temper things with them and be mindful of that frustration. The concern was that our players realize this conference is really tough and you can lose five of six and not be playing bad basketball.''
Duke had been as comfortable at the Garden as St. John's. The Blue Devils had won their last five and 12 of 13 there and were 25-14 all-time.
The game got chippy for a while in the second half and double technicals were called twice before things settled down.
Washington State 87, No. 18 Washington 80 -- Box Score
PULLMAN, Wash. -- Klay Thompson scored 25 points and the Cougars upset the Huskies to pick up a signature win in their quest for an NCAA tournament bid.
Reggie Moore added 18 points and five assists for Washington State (15-6, 5-4 Pac-10), which held high-scoring Washington to 36 percent shooting, and broke a four-game losing streak to its rival.
Isaiah Thomas scored 19 points for Washington (15-5, 7-2), which fell into a tie with Arizona for first in the Pac-10. Thomas made just 3 of 14 field goals for the Huskies, who were trying to open 8-1 in the Pac-10 for the first time since 1984.
No. 25 Michigan State 84, Indiana 83 (OT) -- Box Score
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Draymond Green made a go-ahead shot with 29.3 seconds left and No. 25 Michigan State held on for an 84-83 win against Indiana on Sunday night.
Hoosiers guard Jordan Hulls, who got tied up by Spartans center Derrick Nix with 1.2 seconds left, was long on a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.
Michigan State (13-8, 5-4 Big Ten) avoided its first four-game losing streak in four years.
Indiana (11-11, 2-7) had a shot to beat back-to-back ranked teams for the first time in Tom Crean's three seasons, but Jeremiah Rivers missed free throws that would've sealed the victory in regulation.
Kalin Lucas scored 26 points, Green had 19 points and 13 rebounds and Durrell Summers scored 17 for the Spartans.
Christian Watford scored 21 points and Hulls had 17 for the Hoosiers.

Dear Mr. Scorsese-
Your letter to your daughter Francesca came to my attention and I just had a few comments in response.
First, I apologize for not seeing The Wolf of Wall Street. There was a time not too long ago where I would have been one of the first people at the theatre to see your films. Goodfellas is one of my all time favorites. But I can't bring myself to see The Wolf of Wall Street. Women who I have spoken with have told me how difficult it was to sit through and how uncomfortable they were about the portrayals of women in the film.
Hey, it might be a great film according to some folks. It might even win the Oscar, but I'm just not going to put myself through it. Life is too short.
Back to the letter
I am really glad that you are excited about the future of film even while you acknowledge the closing of a chapter which you were one of the leaders of. I too am excited. This is the wild west and while it is scary for many filmmakers the possibilities are great. I'm really glad that you have exposed your daughter to many films since she was a young girl. I can't even imagine how cool it must have been to see films with you and have you explain shots and story details. She is a lucky girl.
But Mr. Scorsese, have you shown your daughter any films directed by women? You tell her how important it is for her to embrace her voice, but at the same time all the directors you name as people who keep you heartened about the future of moviemaking are all MEN.
And since she is a girl have you told her that it will be harder for her as a director? (Do you even know how hard it is for women?) That there are less opportunities for women, and that in 2012 only 9% of the top grossing films were directed by women? And will you also tell her that you got a DGA nomination yesterday and that no women were nominated? And have you told her yet that only one woman has ever won an Oscar for best director?
I hope your daughter has a vision like you do. I would be delighted to see a movie directed by Francesca Scorsese. But remember, role models and visionaries come in both sexes and we need female directors to inspire young boys and girls so that all children can grow up and trust their voices and visions.

A study finds that many designated drivers drink alcoholic beverages before driving, and their blood alcohol levels can impair their ability to drive and put them and their passengers at risk of a car accident.
For the study, published in the July issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, researchers at the University of Florida tested the blood alcohol levels of 1,071 people leaving Gainesville, FL, bars between 10:00 P.M. and 2:30 A.M. on Friday evenings, the nights before scheduled Gators home football games on Saturdays. The breath test found that of the 165 people who said they were designated drivers, 41% had been drinking. Although 17% of those had blood alcohol levels of 0.02 or lower, 18% had levels of 0.05 or higher, Nancy Shute writes for the NPR Health blog Shots.
In an NBC News Health article, Melissa Dahl quotes Adam E. Barry, Ph.D., lead author of the study:
'I recognize the levels we have in our article is not .08,' the blood-alcohol content limit for legal driving in all 50 states, Barry says. But for most individuals, by the time they reach a .02 BAC, 'driving tasks such as divided attention are impacted. Once you hit .05, that's basically when the vast majority of the literature says you are significantly impaired.'
Designated drivers, Dahl notes, are those who volunteer to refrain from drinking alcohol on a given night, in order to be sober to give rides home to others who are drinking. She goes on to write: "Too often, sometime around last call in far too many bars across the country, a cringe-worthy survey of sorts is done among drinking buddies: Who here is 'least drunk'? The winner ('winner') is awarded the keys, and named the night's designated driver."
Dahl quotes Barry: "There's evidence that says designated drivers often times are chosen because they're least intoxicated — or they're chosen because they've successfully driven a car intoxicated previously." But Barry pointed out that there is not an agreed-upon definition of 'designated driver,' even in the academic literature. "Is it a person who abstains from alcohol entirely, or who maybe has a drink or two but stays under the legal limit for driving?," he asked.
In the study (in which the average age of the people tested was 28), 40% of those tested were not students. Researchers found that the older a driver was, the higher their blood alcohol level was, Dahl writes.
This blog reported on May 15 that the National Transportation Safety Board is asking states to lower the definition of drunk driving to a blood-alcohol reading of no more than .05%. Most countries in Europe already have the lower level as their standard; for example, Germany, France, and Italy have a limit of .05%, and Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands, have a limit of .02%, Dahl writes.
In Colorado, a blood alcohol level of .08 is a DUI offense; and a blood alcohol level of .05 but less than .08 is a DWAI offense, according to DrivingLaws.org. And a June 11 article on this blog listed the 10 Colorado counties with the most DUIs.
The study concludes:
Considering the low BAC [breath alcohol concentrations] levels at which driving-related abilities are negatively affected, these findings identify the need for consensus across researcher, layperson, and communication campaigns that a DD [designated driver] must be someone who abstains from drinking entirely. […]
DDs who consume alcohol (regardless of level) or are selected because they are deemed 'least intoxicated' (Knight et al., 1993) place both themselves and their passengers at greater risk for injury. Should the current status quo continue, it is likely that the scientific literature will continue to indicate that DD campaigns fail to effectively prevent impaired driving (Calafat et al., 2009; DeJong and Wallack, 1992; Ditter et al., 2005; Grube, 2007).

These plug-ins are available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers.
These updated plug-ins are now available in native 64-bit AudioUnit and VST formats on Mac OS X. Note that on Mac computers, these plug-ins now support Mac OS X v10.5 and higher only, running on Intel processors. Mac PowerPC support is not available.
Voxengo Beeper
Beeper is an auxiliary audio processing AU and VST plugin which you can use to insert short beep, noise burst or silence signals to any sound material. This plug-in may help you protect your work from theft. It is safe to apply this plug-in to any mission-critical material because plug-in does not perform any processing on the audio between signals.
Voxengo Latency Delay
Latency Delay is an auxiliary AU and VST plugin which allows you to compensate latency produced by any audio plug-ins, instruments and processes which produce latency but do not try to report it to the host. Latency Delay introduces 10000 samples latency itself and delays the audio signal by 10000 minus the specified amount of samples or milliseconds. Please note that audio host application should support the latency compensation itself for this plug-in to function properly.
Voxengo MSED
MSED is a professional audio encoder-decoder AU and VST plugin for mid-side processing which is able to encode (split) the incoming stereo signal into two components: mid-side pair, and vice versa: decode mid-side signal pair into stereo signal.
MSED is also able to work in the "inline" mode with the ability to adjust mid and side channels' gain without the need of using two plug-in instances in sequence.
You can use MSED to extract mid-side channels, swap stereo channels, switch polarity of the signal.
Voxengo Sound Delay
Sound Delay is an auxiliary multi-channel signal delaying AU and VST plugin for professional audio applications. You may specify delay time in both milliseconds and samples, with a high level of precision. This plug-in – being technical in its purpose – provides a basic signal delaying function only, without signal feedback or modulation capabilities.
These updated and other pro audio plug-ins can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/group/free-vst-plugins/

Chambers will line up against triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt in what will be the first test of his progress since joining up with Asafa Powell's training group in Kingston in March.
The meeting, part of the 'World Challenge Series', is the most prestigious invitation event to have offered Chambers a lane since his return to top-flight athletics in 2008.
The event is part of the EuroMeetings group which had previously recommended its members not to invite former drug cheats and Chambers' inclusion could now open the door for him to compete in the individual 100m in the top-tier Diamond League series.
The Londoner has already been lined up by UK Athletics to compete in the 4x100m relay in Rome and at Crystal Palace in preparation for the Olympics.
On Monday, Chambers was given the all-clear to compete at the London Games after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the British Olympic Association' lifetime ban for athletes with serious drug violations was illegal.

A whole squadron of killer lobsters attacks comedian Bill Cosby and his wife, in this bizarre sequence from scifi comedy Leonard Part 6, which Cosby wrote and produced. "The offensive will start immediately!" proclaims Gloria Foster's sequin-addicted supervillain. But really the offensive started about 70 minutes ago, including Cosby doing the Jane Fonda workout, Cosby doing ballerina movies to avoid a killer ostrich, and Cosby throwing exploding hotdogs and hamburgers at Foster's squad of evil cackling vegetarians, who want to take over ALL of Northern California. Yes, even Benicia.
The movie's plot revolves around a high-tech sphere that controls the minds of animals and turns them into killers, including horses, bees, and — in the movie's one funny sequence reminiscent of — bunny rabbits. Leonard Part 6 shares with the original Star Wars the distinction of being Part X in a series despite being the first movie released. Unlike Star Wars, however, Cosby's bizarre saga never got its prequels. Sadly.

TGIF: REALTORsaurus? Not us! Staying adaptable in today's ever-changing marketplace.
REALTORsaurus eh? Not us - at least not intentionally! Yesterday we spent a terrifying day studying "Trends & Issues in Real Estate" reviewing past experience as life's lessons and reflecting on the future external forces, dynamics and exponential progress of technology that will affect real estate.
"Affordability" is today's buzz word - did you know that real estate was equally unaffordable in the 1980s when interest rates rose to 21% and home prices were a fraction of today's? Payments were similar to now with wages considerably lower. When interest rates rise, our mortgage payments will double or triple, bringing a whole new meaning to unaffordable. Takeaway from this is 'be prepared'. In an era where lifestyle is more important than paying down our mortgage, doing everything we can to pay down our mortgage while interest rates are low will prevent foreclosures (1980s epidemic) & future hardship.
Did you know that many Vancouverites have moved to Vancouver Island and still commute for work? The $100 price of a flight from Nanaimo to Vancouver is more than offset by the significantly lower price of real estate. Our harbour is the busiest in North America for floatplanes. And as we tax foreign buyers with vacant homes, should we tax the many Vancouverites who move to the Okanagan, spend winters in Palm Springs, leaving their home vacant half the year? Interesting question when the real estate disrupters come from different places, both near & far, with the same result - rising prices & vacant homes.
And, of course we all know that the provincial budget balanced as a result of the property transfer tax!
Did you know that there are 50 billion tweets a day along with 31 billion Google searches every minute? And that speech is only the 2nd form of communication for a millennial? Texting is first. What this means is that the greatest exposure of real estate internationally is on Facebook - a community as large as China or India.
In our location, we are especially vulnerable to global events - the threat of war, declining or increasing currency elsewhere and politics, both here and abroad. With worldwide communication, we know immediately when there is a crisis or significant world event, so that our real estate market, as well as other markets, can change in an instant without warning.
There are just so many factors that can affect the real estate market, so it is good to think ahead to possibilities and how we handle them. This course had huge content, so we shall be looking at big ideas to be ready for future digitization and adaptability to serve you into a hyper changing future.
Sunshades are more useful than umbrellas today - and as always, we have you covered.
Sheila and Michelle.

SPRINGFIELD – The city's cable television station unveiled its new home Monday, a 6,500-square-foot media hub with two studios, a video lab, exhibition space and 21st century technology.
The opening, held by Focus Springfield Community Television, marked the beginning of a new era for public access television in Springfield, station manager Steve Cary told about 100 people attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"It's a day to be grateful for a lot of things," Cary said, expressing thanks to elected officials, contractors, studio employees and others who helped with the $1 million upgrade from the station's old home in the Van Sickle Middle School auditorium.
The opening comes as the cable access station is adapting to a new identity and mission.
The operation, formerly known as the Springfield Media and Television Group, goes back to 1983 when the city granted its first cable television contract to Continental Cablevision.
Under the contract, the cable provider, now Comcast contributes annually to a city fund that finances community-based programming and other public services.
Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said the name of the non-profit television group was changed to Focus Springfield Community Television to signal its sharpened focus on government, education and cultural events in Springfield.
The new studio, along with arrival of a University of Massachusetts satellite campus at Tower Square and the MGM International casino in the South End, will contribute to a more vibrant downtown, the mayor said.
The studio's location - at State and Main, on the ground floor of an eight-story building that served as MassMutual's first home - and glass exterior will boost public interest and participation, the mayor said.
"It's going to be great to see the glass open up so people can see shows going on," Sarno said.
Congressman Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield also noted that the public access television offers a more reasoned alternative to the relentless demands of the 24-hour news cycle and growth of social media.
The result, Neal said, is a cascade of partially reported stories shaping, and often distorting, public opinion.
"The news cycle does not take a breather; nobody steps back to think about it and separate fact from fiction," he said.
The new center will be named for former mayor Theodore E. Dimauro, who struck the city's first cable deal, Sarno said. The formal dedication will be held in the near future, he said.
The studio will allow local producers and city residents to learn the skills needed to develop and air programming on the city's three public access channels: Public Channel 12, Education Channel 15 and Government Channel 17,
Services will be provided at no cost to Springfield residents, and video shooting and editing classes and mentoring will also be available.


text: ROSEAU, DOMINICA — Dominicans went to the polls Monday in the island nation's second election since independence in 1978. Heavy favorite for re-election: Prime Minister Eugenia Charles and her pro-Washington Dominica Freedom Party. Opinion polls showed her likely to defeat the Labor Party of Dominica, an alliance of left and right groups led by Michael Douglas. Bad news for Charles: Observers said an increased youth vote could cut her majority. About 45,000 of Dominica's 74,000 people are registered to vote. Note: Charles gained fame in October 1983 when she invited U.S. troops to invade Grenada after a coup there.

Author's note: This week I am taking something of a hiatus from posting new content here on the blog. This post is from the Lisa writes… archives, circa August 2009
During my church's current community group rotation, we leaders in the children's department have enjoyed the unique privilege of teaching, among other things, the sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus. Yes, you read that right: Leviticus. You know you're in for interesting lesson when the curriculum instructs you to "Read portions of Leviticus 11-16." To five and six year olds, mind you. We (the teachers) joked among ourselves last Sunday night that we need tee shirts: WE SURVIVED LEVITICUS. We think we deserve it.
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe… Phil. 2:14-15

Our skill at being able to simply graph and express this data enables us to assist clients in understanding whether a fund is behaving in a characteristic or uncharacteristic manner. Equipped with this statistical information we are able to effectively determine whether a Plan's investments are continuing to meet the goals of the plan and criteria for inclusion set forth in the Investment Policy Statement (IPS).
A standout attribute of CRC is our focus on the development of a sound IPS and our ability to implement its principles. This foundational document for any Plan sets forth for the Plan Committee an understanding of the investment policies, objectives, and investment options of the Plan and provides a meaningful basis for evaluation of the investment options offered in the Plan. Key to the evaluation criteria is the inclusion of risk-adjusted return measurements, which are composed of two distinct components: a performance measure and a risk-assessment measure. Risk and return variables of each Plan investment are considered in the context of the overall range of investments for the Plan and its participants.
Check the background of this firm on FINRA's BrokerCheck @ http://brokercheck.finra.org/
CRC's constant monitoring of client investments is achieved through our proprietary characteristic/uncharacteristic momentum analysis based on historical fund performance and volatility.
CRC provides ongoing plan cost management and revenue distribution analysis. CRC will serve as a discretionary 3(38) or 3(21) ERISA Fiduciary.
Characteristic/uncharacteristic analysis encompasses the comparisons of an investment to an appropriate custom benchmark and to a peer group comprised of the largest 50 investments of a fund's style category as designated by Morningstar, Inc., with at least ten years of historical data
CRC provides educational opportunities to Committees at regularly scheduled quarterly review meetings. At these meetings, the status of the client's entire portfolio and its individual investments are reviewed with regard to the status of the overall market. When relevant, emerging industry issues and trends are brought to the Committee's attention and discussed in relation to the Plan.
Plan design and regulatory consulting, including assistance with respect to compliance testing and annual filings regarding tax qualification and ERISA fiduciary compliance consulting
Administrative services consulting and vendor management
Request for Proposals (RFP) for service providers, including completion and evaluation of proposal documents, vendor coordination (presentations, site visits, service agreement negotiation)
Assistance with the development of employee communications and investment education materials and participation in employee meetings

The City of San Marino has engaged Capital Research & Consulting, LLC for investment advisory services since 2013. Mike Haney and Steve Arnold were instrumental in educating and assisting me and my advisory committee in obtaining a new provider for the City's deferred compensation program at a substantially decreased cost. They conduct quarterly review meetings with the committee and make recommendations regarding the portfolio which we make available to our employees. I would strongly recommend them to any City seeking to improve their deferred compensation program.
I am writing to recommend the services of the Capital Research and Consulting, LLC (CRC). The City of Glendale has been using CRC for investment advisory consulting services since April, 2012. Services include quarterly monitoring reports and meetings with the Deferred Compensation Committee, manager termination/addition recommendations, the construction and implementation of an Investment Policy Statement, among other functions. During the course of the quarterly meetings CRC keeps the Committee abreast of trends and issues in the governmental defined contribution industry and provides fiduciary education and training to the members. We have been completely satisfied with CRC; they do a great job serving as the Plan's advocate for better servicing and competitive fees.

The group takes in retired racers from all over the east coast, they have a great kennel with kind and knowledgeable staff. On our way we were nervous and excited to meet the dogs at PRH, and after we arrived we were taken to a back pen where we met various lovable dogs looking for a forever home. After meeting them all, we took two on a walk and quickly realized that one special boy had won our hearts!
We decided that the sweet, friendly, loving brown-eyed gentleman would be the newest member of our family and I went to grab my camera to get some photos before we headed home to prepare our house for Finnegan's arrival. As I walked away from Shawn and a kennel manager to get my camera, sweet Finn followed me ... how cute! I gave him a pat on the head and continued to walk away ... he kept following... my heart melted.
Finnegan was a racer at the Daytona Beach Greyhound Track where he raced in roughly 40 races, his last one being just after Thanksgiving 2010. The greyhound racing industry breeds approximately 50,000 puppies each year. Of these animals, only 15,000 actually become racing dogs. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the treatment and cruelty of race dogs or dejected greyhound puppies that never become racers ... regardless of the side you fall on, everyone can agree that these beautiful dogs deserve to be in a home where they are loved and appreciated. We certainly hope we can provide our new boy with as much love as he can handle!
Because he was a racer, Finnegan will be entering the house-pet world with puppy-eyes which means we will be working with him to learn how to climb stairs, ride in a car, recognize mirrors and glass (they often run into glass doors or out glass windows!), and develop a friendship with Lexie-Mae.
We cannot wait to get Finnegan home! We are so honored to be able to take in a retired racer and to give a dog like Finn the chance to begin again ... So many challenges will come with owning a Greyhound, but we are up for it and eagerly anticipating his arrival!

Experience the Star Safety System at Toyota of N Charlotte
Toyota is known world-wide for the Star Safety System and other ground-breaking safety technology that is utilized to keep all individuals in a vehicle secure at all times. In fact, the majority of safety research takes place at the Collaborative Safety Research Center in Michigan. This facility is dedicated to improving the Star Safety System and all other innovative safety techniques. That means when you're on the road, safety is the last thing you have to worry about in a new Toyota, like the 2014 Toyota Prius v in N Charlotte.
Drive away with the latest in safety technology today!
Every recent new Toyota near Charlotte has the Star Safety System installed in it. Don't take this now-standard feature for granted, though, as it's still an exceptional addition to each new Toyota in N Charlotte. The Star Safety System is comprised of six advanced safety technology features. Each of these features work both independently and collectively to give each new Toyota in N Charlotte optimum safety performance:
- Vehicle Stability Control (VSC): This feature helps prevents your car from slipping and losing traction while you're cruising along the road. VSC helps reduce engine power and applies brake force only to the wheels that need it most to help your car stay in the lane it belongs in.
- Traction Control: Helping your vehicle maintain traction on wet, icy, loose, or uneven surfaces, this feature helps you avoid spinning wheels.
- Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS): Brakes are obviously an important safety features, and ABS keeps them from locking up in emergency braking situation by "pulsing" the brake pressure on each wheel. This gives you better control in slippery and icy situations!
- Electronic Brake Force Distribution: Similar to ABS, this technology redistributes brake force to help keep the rear wheels from locking up!
- Brake Assist: If you're in a situation where you have to suddenly hit the brakes, this feature kicks in and adds the full pressure needed to help prevent a collision from occurring.
- Smart Stop Technology: This feature helps reduce engine power when both pedals are pressed at the same time under certain conditions. What's even better is it does it automatically!
If you want a new Toyota in N Charlotte with the superior Star Safety Technology, then come visit us today to test-drive our amazing selection of safe and affordable vehicles! We're conveniently located off of I-77 at 13429 Statesville Road, and our team of Product Specialists is on-hand ready to assist you!

Midland College and Tall City Blues Fest announce community partnership
Tall City Blues Fest, a multiday music festival, announced Monday a partnership with Midland College to offer educational workshops and seminars as part of the weekend's Festival offerings.
Tall City Blues Fest, featuring award-winning blues and roots music, is planned for July 29-31 in Centennial Park.
Midland College and Tall City Blues Fest currently are developing the course offerings. Potential, although not yet confirmed, offerings include:
- Blues Guitar, Beginner & Advanced,
- Harmonica, Beginner & Advanced,
- HarmoniKids,
- Hawaiian Blues,
- Writing the Blues, a focus on songwriting, and
- Blues Band Bring About, creating a band from scratch
"We are working to make the great ideas from our brainstorming a reality -- things like working with the instrument companies so that we can provide complementary harmonicas and ukuleles as part of the classes for the beginning and kids workshops and offering the band that is created from the Blues Band Bring About workshop a spot on the stage during the Festival," said Lisa Grissom of Promising Projects, and producer for Tall City Blues Fest.
Pre-registration will be offered through Midland College's Summer Continuing Education course catalog, and all proceeds from workshop enrollment will benefit Midland College Community Programs. "Community programs are the 'fun' classes in the Continuing Education catalog, and partnering with Tall City Blues Fest has opened an offering of fun classes that we wouldn't otherwise have been able to offer," said Brenda Cordero, associate director of Community Programs Continuing Education at MC.
Additionally, Tall City Blues Fest will donate 10 percent of its advance and at-the-gate weekend Festival pass purchases to Midland College KIDS' College to be earmarked for scholarships. Weekend Festival passes are $40 and are valid for the entire weekend with come-and-go entrance to the Festival. Workshops can be attended separately from the Festival, or Weekend Festival passes can be bought in conjunction with workshop registration.

Sunday, I went to the "Man up" event hosted by the Durable Goods movement.
It got me thinking about the state of dentistry, and about value to the consumer.
In particular, I thought about the value of my service.
Many dentists follow established guidelines by insurance companies regarding how often they need to replace restorations or crowns. For instance, a crown can be replaced as often as every 5 years, and a filling every couple of years .
However, these insurance companies aren't dentists, and these standards are the minimum accepted. Additionally, one should look into the modes of failure:
1. Recurrent decay (most common):
If you don't brush and floss, all bets are off. Recurrent decay will set in, and undermine the area holding your restoration in place. Most failure is due to recurrent decay from bacteria that feed from stuff between your teeth. If you keep it clean, you should be good.
2. Crown Fracture (common for porcelain, amalgams)
If there was not enough material, or too much stress, or some sudden trauma, porcelain will fracture. Porcelain crowns look nice, and have a higher hardness than enamel or gold. However, porcelain fails by fracturing. Gold will deform into place.
3. Tooth Fracture ( Amalgams)
Amalgams are retained by mechanical retention. This means that they wedge against the teeth to stay in place. Amalgams tend to have a different thermal expansion than enamel, so will constantly wedge against the sides of teeth. That being said, they have self-sealing margins and can 10+ years if taken care of.
4. Shoddy work
I hate to admit this, but I've seen shoddy work. These include crowns with open margins, bad contours, and grossly plus or sub margins. Largely, this is from some non-American accredited provider. Often these are from patients that ask for a workup, go to China, Mexico or XYZ, and get cheap dentistry.
Frankly, I don't touch these unless a.) it's fixable and b.) my patient allows me to redo them.
I believe that you get what you pay for. Although, in my case you probably get more than you paid for. If I believe my work is sub-par...I'll make it right. Period.
That's my policy, and I'm sticking to it.

From Iowa, USA:
I have a 3 year old with diabetes. Our doctor advised us to give her and her twin sister the new shot to prevent Chicken Pox. They received the shot on Friday and were exposed to Chicken Pox on Monday. Will the shot protect them or at least diminish the intensity of the Chicken Pox, or will it make it worse?
First of all, I suggest you discuss this issue with your childrens' pediatrician. I am not an infectious disease specialist, but according to my understanding, protection against chickenpox is expected to be in effect by 4 to 6 weeks after the immunization. The protection is not 100 percent complete in all patients immunized. Some patients may still get a mild form of chicken pox. I don't know if anyone has studied whether or not protection starts in the first week after immunization. I am not aware of any reason the immunization should make the chicken pox worse. Keep in mind that the majority of young children go through chicken pox without any serious complications as long as they make sure they keep the pox free of infection. (Chicken pox can be dangerous to newborn babies, adults, and to anyone on steroids, chemotherapy, or other immunosuppressants.)
You should anticipate if your child with diabetes gets chicken pox, her blood sugars may go up and she made need extra insulin. You should also anticipate that she may not want to eat or drink if she gets chicken pox in the mouth and you should have cold apple juice or regular soda in the house in case that is all that she will take in for a few days.

Efforts to normalize relations between Turkey and Armenia have taken another step forward with a visit to Istanbul by Armenia's foreign minister. The purpose of the visit is the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Committee, but the minister's trip also provided him an opportunity to meet with his Turkish counterpart. The two countries have no diplomatic relations, but in the past month there have been growing bilateral efforts to normalize ties. Dorian Jones reports from Istanbul.
Speaking at a news conference, Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian urged Turkey to reopen its border with Armenia.
"Armenia is ready to re-establish diplomatic relations without any preconditions and we are waiting [to see] from [the] Turkish side the same approach," he said.
In 1993, Turkey closed its border with Armenia after Armenian forces occupied territory of Turkey's ally Azerbaijan during a war over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Ankara has made the withdrawal of Armenian forces from Azerbaijan a key condition for reopening the border.
Relations between Turkey and Armenia remained frozen until last month, when Turkish President Abdullah Gul accepted an invitation from his Armenian counterpart Serge Sarkisian to watch Turkey play a World Cup football qualifier in Yerevan. Since then there have been several diplomatic meetings between the two countries.
Mr. Nalbandian said the opening of the border would facilitate the resolution of problems.
"In the world there are many countries, many neighboring countries having different problems to be solved," he said. "But they have diplomatic relations, they have open borders, they are open to each to other, and in this condition it is much easier to talk."
One major problem dogging Armenian-Turkish relations is history. Armenia accuses Turkey of committing genocide against its Armenian minority during World War I, a charge strongly denied by Ankara. The Turkish government is calling for the dispute to be resolved by a panel of historians, a call rejected by Yerevan.
While Turkey's eastern provinces have been hit hard by the economic embargo, Armenia is believed to have suffered more. The embargo has been seen in Ankara as an important tool in extracting concessions from Armenia. Although the the two sides appear to be increasingly engaged, experts say there appears to be little concrete progress.

"Do my friends and family make me feel free and alive? Do they accept and encourage me to be
New Year 2018 message
"Do my friends and family make me feel free and alive? Do they accept and encourage me to be
I am feeling more at home here, in Japan. With all of the unexpected changes of my last five years, as well as the recent political upheaval, my trips to Tokyo are consistency.
Another consistency - my trip to Kamakura to sit before the Diabutsu (The Great Buddha). Each time I've traveled to Tokyo, this is a sort of pilgrimage to me, where I can process events and emotions. It's also a break from the big city life. Here, in this ocean bay tourist area, there are more families and people dressed casually.
I had the good fortune of meeting some new friends. Patricia and Victor, from Mexico City, who were also headed to Kamakura. They had never been to Japan and were struggling with the strange food adventures in Tokyo, often escaping to safety of McDonalds. It's really hard to know what kind of restaurant you are standing in front of, let alone feeling confident to go in and look stupid, perhaps not being able to read a menu or order something fairly edible. (One time, I thought I was ordering grilled chicken on a stick and ended up being served boiled chicken skin on cold noodles!) So, it
Each trip to Tokyo (this is number 9!) is a new experience. Some things are familiar, but much is not. I was lucky enough to have an empty seat beside me on the plane, so I arrived less wiped out than usual. In a new apartment, I'm right across the street from the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. This is where the film, "Lost in Translation" was filmed and is a magnet for the wealthy and less adventurous. Surrounded by Armani, Rolex, Starbucks, etc, I could be in any big city.
Fortunately, from my window, looking the opposite direction to the west, through the skyscraper forest, I have a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji! The first time I've ever seen it - usually too much humidity in the summer air. Before I left Montana, I had been leading weekly meditations, to help people shift out of fear into more empowered ways of being. I presented the idea of 'becoming' a mountain, using breath as wind to clear cloudy thoughts, drawing strength from roots deep in a powerful Earth and vitality from the warmth of the sun. I am delighted to have Mt. Fuji, the most sacred of all Japanese mountains, as my
So much is happening in the world, and strange as it may sound, I am glad to be here during these extraordinary times. I feel like everything I have been learning and practicing through many decades has brought me to a turning point. More than ever, I am grateful for the struggles I have endured and grown through. I cherish the challenges that have tested my resolve, teaching me to stay enthusiastic and empowered even as I face my darkest fears. I am recommitted to being a voice for mindful change, and a wayshower of unity and justice.
For the month of February, I will be in Tokyo, working with Synchronicity Japan. For five weeks, I will be teaching SoulShift Healing Process workshops, and doing up to 50 Clairvoyant Sessions for private clients. I am excited to revisit some favorite spots, reconnect with my helpful team at Synchronicity Japan, and open to new adventures.
During my stay in Japan, I will be posting regular blogs, with new photos and insights. Subscribe here: http://daerylholzer.com/free-insights/soulshift-blog

Many blessings!
In times when there is plenty of hate and fear being tossed around, you can be the anti-dote. Simple acts of kindness, generosity, and calm can dispel the tide of opposition and competition, so frantic "against". I like to enthusiastically offer up that only parking space at the supermarket to the rude driver who is trying to cut in, not with frustration or victimization, but with a robust wave and gigantic smile! The confusion of kindness melts aggression. And instead of being stuck, in a matter of moments, a better spot opened up!
Thanks for everything!
These "real" size strawberries were the sweetest, juiciest strawberries I've had since I was a kid. Not the kind that is grown so large that when you cut into them, it's mostly tasteless white, but the red all the way through kind! And only $1.50 for a fair sized box.
Delighted, I pretty much ate the whole pack in one morning.
Next, I went on an afternoon outing to Meiji Temple in downtown Tokyo. My mission was to go somewhere green, and the old forest surrounding the Temple was perfect. I'm noticing many more foreign tourists than in other years. The dollar is strong against the yen now.
Ahhh, the wonders of technology. I wonder if these folks ever even looked at the Temple, or if they just played with their selfie sticks.
There is always something or someone amusing to watch when I wander around. I'm very much enjoying the pleasant spring weather. This is the first time it's neither too hot and muggy, nor winter time.
Friday evening I presented an evening lecture to a group of about 40 or so. In addition to talking about the seminars I will be teaching, and doing a few
It's great to back in Tokyo, and have spent the first two days revisiting some of my favorite spots, getting used to the time zone, and preparing for my work.
This is one of the gates at Tokyo University. Pondering on the cross-cultural symbolism of the circle. The unity of the world, the patterns of turning, one thing leading to another, with no end.
Perhaps, I am living deeply in this cycle, as nothing in my life stays the same. An ever adjusting path and experience.
More photos to come… camera isn't uploading properly at the moment.
This will be trip #8 working with Synchronicity Japan in Tokyo! I'll be there from May 16 – June 17.

Earth is an experiment. Kindness is the way we get through it.
Moving to Montana, Colorado Springs Fair, Japan events, new projects.

This book is dedicated to friends and family — past, present and future.
In appreciation of those who made us who we are. In gratitude to those whose support we have now. In anticipation of those whose paths we may touch.
Conceptually the replacement of a missing tooth by means of an implant is attractive for several reasons:
• It is functionally and aesthetically superior to any other form of restoration.
• It replaces the tooth in a manner that closely resembles its missing natural predecessor.
• The implant-supported restoration can be independent of the adjacent teeth.
• It is therapeutically attractive because it will stimulate the bone and induce an increase in density in response to functional load.
This book offers a practical and pragmatic approach to implant dentistry, outlining predictable protocols for each stage. Our aim is to present guidelines to assist the clinician during decision-making. The illustrations are designed to facilitate the comprehension of the clinical procedures. The flowcharts are designed to provide an understanding of the procedures and the various available pathways. We hope the flowcharts will make clear the treatment options available and help visualise each stage within the overall treatment plan. There are checklists for certain stages to ensure that the relevant points have been adequately addressed before embarking on the next stage.
Coalescing the art and science of implant dentistry, this book aims to eliminate compromise in a rational and methodical manner. It aims to make implant dentistry a predictable field that can be brought within the reach of the clinician. The protocols outlined are based on clinical experience in a practice wholly dedicated to the surgical and restorative aspects of implant dentistry. It is not intended to cover every technique available to the clinician in this field, but rather to present a limited number of options, which are evidence-based, efficient in terms of time and predictable in terms of outcome. These protocols, with high success rates and excellent aesthetic and functional outcome, are presented in a manner that simplifies the decision-making process. We are confident that the clinician who follows the protocols outlined here and who has a thorough understanding of their principles will be able to carry out treatment to the benefit of the patient.
For the patient, restoring a gap with an implanted tooth that is aesthetically and functionally close to that which nature had intended has far-reaching benefits. It restores health and function, thus preventing the harm that results from the loss of function. Furthermore, it must not be overlooked that the aesthetics are also restored. The mouth, after all, is the organ that is the centre of communication and therefore critical to how we present ourselves to our fellow human beings.
This book hopes to encompass the many disciplines that contribute to implant dentistry. It is not the purpose of this book to teach basic sciences, such as physiology, anatomy or pharmacology. We have assumed that clinicians entering this field will be familiar with both the surgical and restorative aspects of dentistry as well as the basic sciences. Clinicians who hope to practise implant dentistry must be familiar not only with the restorative and surgical aspect of treatment, but must understand the management of patients. Understanding the needs and expectations of patients within the framework of their general health and well-being is fundamental to the successful outcome of treatment. The general dental practitioner, adequately trained, is well suited for providing patients with implant treatment.

"VIDYA has given me a lot of encouragement. If I had not come to VIDYA, I would not have had the confidence to speak in front of others."
– Vikram Dhanvate, Student of VIDYA Mumbai
The large, cosmopolitan port city of Mumbai is the financial and entertainment capital of India. The city is a thriving melting pot of cultures, languages, and ethnicities, and the large 'slums'– housing 62% of its population– are no exception.
Mumbaikars are well-known for their work ethic and industriousness, and we've found this is especially true of Mumbai's less-privileged communities. Their resourcefulness, ambition and exuberance are inspiring to any one who experiences it. It's being inspired that keeps us going in our mission to enable them to strive for their dreams. With the caliber of people we find here, we think that even a few empowered individuals is all that it will take to create the kind of ripples of change India needs.
In 2000, VIDYA opened an office in Mumbai on the campus of IIT Bombay and began implementing decades of experience in the field of education and community empowerment. In no time, VIDYA began to grow. Extending beyond IIT Bombay, the staff at VIDYA Mumbai decided to settle within the community itself to reach more children, youth, and women, to better serve the community. Today, VIDYA Mumbai operates 24 centers in 8 communities and 16 schools, and reaches more than 5,000 beneficiaries.
Throughout the year, VIDYA Mumbai leads several initiatives, including Beyond School, Bhavishya Yaan, Youth Program, and School Partnerships. To support students, their families, and their teachers, VIDYA Mumbai manages the Computer Learning & Resource Center, Community Initiatives Cell, and Learning & Development Cell. The organization also organizes various events, activities, and excursions—from Sunday morning football to the annual literature festival.
>> View VIDYA Mumbai's 2016 Annual Report <<
The Beyond School program provides quality education and holistic development for students between the ages 6-16, and is currently active in 8 community centers across Mumbai. It provides a safe learning environment for children in communities. It builds in them a sense of achievement and joy in learning.
Beyond School is a perfect blend of academics and co-curricular activities. It aims to raise the bar for each and every learner, even as it allows fast learners, and the slow learners their space to grow. The program focuses on academic enrichment and techniques for the children to reach their best potential in their school and to raise awareness in communities.
Academic subjects such as Maths, Science, spoken English and computer literacy are taught in order for children to reach their potential in school.Other forms of learning through dance and art are also encouraged. VIDYA focuses on life skills and personality development through classes and sessions.
We also inculcate Sports in the program to enable children to learn the value of team work. VIDYA seeks to build socially responsible citizens through these holistic programs. In the future, VIDYA is seeking to develop its scholarship program for Beyond School alumni to fund the education of those who are eager to pursue further studies.
The School Partnership Program collaborates with low-income schools to provide courses on Spoken English and Digital Literacy in 7
Bhavishya-yaan is run in partnership with the Rotary Club of Bombay and operates in 10 municipal schools around Mumbai for classes 5-10.
Bhavisha-yaan focuses on spoken English, computer skills and life skills with a view to enhance educational and employment opportunities for students who come from regional language schools. The curriculum is devised using creative methods and teaching aids to ensure understanding and not rote learning. Tests have highlighted a 40% improvement in written English and vocabulary proficiency in comparison to those students who did not enrol in the program at the school examination level. Excursions and other extra-curricular activities are arranged on a daily basis to ensure a simulating environment that encourages interest in learning and knowledge.
India has one of the largest emerging youth populations. One of the ways to enhance this useful resource is to educate and empower the youth. VIDYA wants to open doors and encourage creativity among the community youth to help them to explore their capabilities.
VIDYA seeks to maximise the potential of lesser privileged and drop-out youth between the ages of 16-30 with a focus on English skills, computer-aided learning and life-skills. The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) program allows youth to complete their education up to 10th and 12th Standard through academic assistance and courses. The Computer Learning Resource Centre (CLRC) provides computer literacy courses through curriculums developed by NIIT. English speaking courses are also given. These extra classes go a long way in increasing their confidence and making them more employable.
In keeping with VIDYA's integrated approach, the Youth Program seeks to make every youth, job-ready by training them with soft skills and life skills. VIDYA has also launched its very own Youth Forum, open to both community youth and the alumni. The idea is to have a space for youth to come together, exchange ideas, debate, engage in creative activities like literature, art, drama and recreational activities like reading, indoor games etc.
A future goal for the program is to extend vocational guidance by facilitating placements through collaborations and partnerships.
CLRC hosts certified courses in collaboration with recognized partners to impart valuable Computer Skills and Digital Literacy to participants of all ages in state-of-the-art labs. The goal of the course is digital empowerment, which we see an an essential part of adding value to those we serve.
The Community Initiatives Cell addresses local problems by empowering the community at large through initiatives towards literacy, awareness and micro-finance schemes.

One of the most anticipated Hindi movie of the year is Raajneeti. Directed by Prakash Jha (of Apaharan, Gangaajal, and Damul fame); assembles a breathtaking star cast which includes Nana Patekar (of Welcome, The Pool, and Apaharan fame); Ajay Devgan (of Company, Gangaajal, and Omkara fame); Katrina Kaif (of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Welcome, and New York fame); Ranbir Kapoor (of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, and Wake Up Sid fame); Manoj Bajpai (of Satya, Veer-Zaara, and Jail fame); Naseeruddin Shah (of A Wednesday!, Omkara, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fame); Arjun Rampal (of Om Shanti Om, Rock On, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna fame) amongst others. The movie plans to expose the underbelly of Indian politics and seems really interesting. This movie is also said to be an adaptation of 'The Mahabharata'. The movie is slated to release on June 04 2010.
I've shared two official trailers of the movie. The first trailer has English subtitles for benefit of non Hindi speaking audience. Just watch the trailers and I'm sure you'll get just as restless about the movie as I am right now. Post your feedback about the trailers and your expectations from the movie as comments.
