The Legal Education Opportunities Program at the University of Wisconsin Law School is a thriving program for the recruitment, retention and success of law students of color.
From its humble beginnings in 1967 with the recruitment of four African-American students and two Latino students to today, when LEO alumni number well over 1,000 African-American, Asian-Pacific-American, American Indian, and Latino-American graduates, the LEO Program is a nationwide model for recruiting and retaining students of color.
Overview | History | Alumni | Why?
Program Overview
LEO's stated purpose is to recruit and retain students of color and those from other traditionally disadvantaged groups, but its objective is more far-reaching. The program provides an informal academic and social support network for its students while they are in law school, and beyond. According to the LEO Committee, (the student-faculty committee that facilitates the program,) students of color may bring a special perspective on the legal system, expanding classroom discussions. It is the LEO committee's position, and the bedrock of belief that sustains the LEO Program, that the benefits of diversity are gained by the non-LEO community as well as by the LEO community.
The student-run LEO organization comprises five groups: students of Asian-Pacific Islander descent (APALSA), African-American students (BLSA), Latino/a students (LLSA), Middle Eastern students (MELSA), and Native American law students (ILSA). These groups perform the day-to-day tasks of the LEO Program. Students plan a special one-day orientation, both academic and social, for incoming LEO students. The annual LEO newsletter, "On The Rise," offers constituency groups a forum to report on their activities, and highlights achievements of LEO students. LEO students also organize community outreach projects in an effort to provide positive role models to children in the Madison community.
Perhaps the most visible student activity is planning the LEO Banquet, traditionally held each spring. More than 300 people attend the banquet each year, including many alumni, lawyers, judges, and politicians. It is also an event to which prospective students are invited.
The History of the LEO Program
The LEO Program began, not surprisingly, in the late 1960s, a time of social upheaval and discontent with the status quo. There was a nationwide feeling that many of our country's institutions were bastions of the white middle class, with little hope for change. In 1967, a white second-year law student, then president of the Student Bar Association, echoed what many young people were noticing nationwide: Why aren't there any students of color around here? The student, Jim Miles, with the approval of the faculty, developed a recruitment strategy to find students of color and convince them to try Wisconsin. One of those first students recruited was Nathaniel Friends, Sr., formerly General Attorney in the Law Division of AT&T in Washington, D.C. Nate credits Jim and his recruitment strategies for bringing him to Wisconsin.
By the time Nate graduated, there were 14 or 15 African-American law students at Wisconsin Law – all of whom he and Jim had recruited.
While Nate Friends and Jim Miles were planning their strategy, another Jim was on the horizon: a Jim who would be influential in taking the LEO Program farther than its founders had dared to dream: Professor Jim Jones.
Jim Jones, the Nathan P. Feinsinger Professor of Labor Law, Emeritus, was the first African-American professor at UW Law. The grandson of a slave, Professor Jones has been an igniter for the program almost since its inception. Prior to his arrival as a young law professor in 1969, Professor Jones had worked at the United States Department of Labor under John F. Kennedy. In 1961, when President Kennedy had issued an executive order on Affirmative Action, Professor Jones wrote the rules and regulations that created its framework. Upon arriving at UW, Professor Jones asked pointedly, "Where are the Blacks?" and began to lend his expertise to the new LEO initiative.
Today LEO students comprise more than one-fourth of the UW Law student body, well ahead of many other national law school averages.
LEO Alumni
One of the most remarkable outcomes of the LEO Program is the outstanding alumni group that stands ready to connect with and encourage the current LEO students. With more than 1,000 LEO graduates across the country, our current students have role models and advisors to help them succeed. And because of the long tradition of LEO, these alumni have attained career success.

LEO graduates often speak passionately about their experiences at the U.W. Law School and the importance of LEO to their successes.
Why LEO?
A recurrent theme: the benefit to everybody at Wisconsin. From LEO alumni, to professors, to the Dean, each believes that the entire community is strengthened by this program that from its humble beginnings more than fifty years ago has evolved into a vibrant source of pride for all associated with the University of Wisconsin Law School. The little program that roared continues to be heard in quarters far beyond these halls on Bascom Hill.

About Us
The primary years are the time to lay a firm foundation for the adult of tomorrow. At the heart of all that we do at Erasmus Primary School is the desire to provide every child with all that he or she needs to flourish and live a good, civilised and cultured life for the enrichment of society. This means developing a character that is resilient, courageous, happy, alert, efficient, effective and disciplined.
Through the provision of the finest materials, a rich and rigorous academic program, Fine Arts, classical languages, philosophy and meditation, we seek to empower each child to express his or her unique talents whole-heartedly with true self confidence.
At Erasmus, we regard each child as pure, perfect and complete. We see it as our primary task to ensure that this perfection is allowed to crystallise and shine. In the primary years, the child has great capacity to hold knowledge, and everything that is taught goes in, and forms the capital for life. It is during these years that the basic knowledge and the character of the child are formed. Therefore, we consider it essential that only the best and finest material is provided, along with an harmoniously balanced measure of love and discipline so that the knowledge can be received most effectively.
Our focus is the?cultivation of every aspect of the child's being?? mind, body, heart and spirit. The school is non-denominational, and offers philosophy, meditation and mindfulness practices as a way of nurturing all four aspects of the being.? Our approach ensures that our students are happy and well behaved while achieving optimum levels of success in whatever they undertake, be it academic, artistic, physical or emotional. Our school builds character, encourages respect and consideration for others and develops a well-rounded person with a sharpness of mind that helps to bring out the best in each.? Our aim is to realise our motto, Let Your Light Shine.? Our aim is to let the light of each and every child shine.
Our curriculum provides a thorough, systematic grounding in English and Mathematics. Other subjects include Scripture and Philosophy, Science, Social Studies, History and Geography. We take a classical approach to languages including studies in Sanskrit and Latin. A diverse palette of visual and performing arts programmes includes Art, Music, Drama, Dance, Craft and activities such as needlework, woodwork, calligraphy and hospitality. These pursuits greatly assist in the development of intellectual, cognitive and emotional skills, self-expression and fine and gross motor skills. All children are set regular homework.
All children sing songs of praise, enjoy fine music, learn prayers, read and recite fine literature and participate in plays, assemblies and sacred celebrations. Throughout their studies, children delight in time-honoured myths and legends from around the world. Incursions and excursions enable them to meet inspiring role models.
We use simple mindfulness exercises to help focus the mind and enable children to develop an inner quiet, strength and steadiness. They are then able to attend with greater application to the task at hand. For example, the children learn to pause and be still and quiet for a few moments before and after each activity. From the age of 10 about 10 minutes is set aside twice a day for quiet, reflective time. With parental approval these older children can learn meditation.
Health and Physical Education incorporates key pursuits such as swimming, athletics, gymnastics, cross country running and ball games. We participate in Kew District Sport competitions. Children in Years 4-6 attend annual camps. Information & Communication Technology, and Design and Technology programmes are integrated into other subjects.
After school activities available include art, chess, dance, yoga and tennis. Students can take up private lessons in piano, violin, cello and classical guitar. After school care is also offered on site.
Student wellbeing is an integral part of child development and the learning experience. We use the Federal Government?s KidsMatter framework to help us develop a positive school community with integrated social emotional learning for students.
Classes are non-composite with class teachers supported by specialist teachers in Art, Dance, Music and Physical Education. Where learning assistance is needed learning support teachers work with the children one-on-one or in small groups. In situations where more challenge is needed extension is provided by the class teacher and through additional extension opportunities.
To help monitor academic progress, all children regularly participate in class assessments as well as National Assessment Program ? Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) in Years 3 and 5 as well as recognised standardised tests for literacy and numeracy. Students may be involved in external competitions in English, mathematics, science, languages, poetry and sport, or music recitals, eisteddfods and visual arts displays.
We provide a healthy, wholesome, organic morning tea and lunch every day for all children and staff. Meals are prepared with great care in our own kitchen. Everyone sits down together to enjoy the good company and serving each other.

Hello all,
Building myself a pretty big lab and trying to do this off the top of my head without looking up commands.
So I have a bunch of switches with ip phones and hosts connected to them and I'm connecting them to ports based on which vlan they are in. The phone are in ports 10-15 and so on and so forth. So I logged into my lab to continue messing with the configuration and I had totally forgotten which ports needed configuration in order to continue with port security and all that.
So what I'm trying to figure out is what is the best show commands to figure out what ports are connected and what they are connected to?

Anil Kumble took matters into his own hands just days after telling his India top order colleagues they needed to score a hundred this series by compiling a maiden Test hundred that all but sealed a series win against England.
Kumble's 110 not out was the centrepiece of India's 664, their highest Test innings total against England, at The Oval here Friday.
England, at stumps on the second day of the third and final Test, were 24 for one still needing a further 441 runs just to avoid the follow-on.
All 11 India batsmen made it into double figures but, in a line-up featuring the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, it was Kumble - appearing in his 118th Test - who became the first India player this series to reach three figures.
"We had a team meeting a couple of days back and I just mentioned it's about time our batters scored a hundred in the series and I never thought I would have to do it," Kumble said.
The 36-year-old leg-spinner, who needs just three more wickets to move past Australia's Glenn McGrath into third place in the list of Test cricket's most successful bowlers, added: "I jokingly again mentioned that at tea-time when I was on 60 not out saying maybe it's my time to go out there and get a hundred.
"I always believed it was possible but I never thought I would have to wait 118 Test matches."
There were eight partnerships of fifty or more in the innings with wicket-keeper Mahendra Dhoni, who made a rapid 92 off just 81 balls, and Kumble putting on 91.
Kumble shows how it's done with maiden century
Anil Kumble took matters into his own hands just days after telling his India top order colleagues they needed to score a hundred this series by compiling a maiden Test hundred that all but sealed a series win against England.
Such was India's dominance on a placid pitch, that Kumble and last man Shanthakumaran Sreesanth added 73 - a 10th wicket record for either side in an England-India Test.
Kumble, whose side went 1-0 up in the series with a seven-wicket win in Nottingham after holding out for a draw with one wicket standing during the first Test at Lord's, was 24 runs short of his century when Sreesanth came out to bat.
"Sree kept saying 'you deserve a hundred and I'll hang around'," Kumble explained.
Kumble, with Tendulkar having made 82 earlier in the innings, reached his hundred when a bottom edged cut off part-time spinner Kevin Pietersen went through the legs of England wicket-keeper Matt Prior.
"You always get four runs when you score there," joked Kumble, whose wait of 118 Test matches for his first hundred at this level was a record.
"I have achieved what everyone dreams of when you start playing. Throughout my career I've put a price on my wicket. I know as a bowler how difficult it is to get a wicket."
The elated reaction of India's players in the dressing room said much about their respect for Kumble.
"You can make out from his expression when he got his hundred, you don't see Anil celebrating like that most of the time," said wicket-keeper Dhoni.
"It was amazing, a remarkable moment. I am happy I got 92. It was needed from the team's point of view."
Three England bowlers conceded more than 100 runs each and left-arm quick Ryan Sidebottom had 93 against his name before a side injury meant he stopped bowling at lunch.
England were left on the brink of losing their six-year unbeaten record in home Test series.
But coach Peter Moores said they had to remain upbeat: "You never really say you just want to save the game because that's a negative way of looking at it."
And Kumble added: "I think it's still a good wicket. I got a hundred, that should give out a message."

Like most overload cards, Stormforged Axe is one of the biggest culprits of either being a decent answer, or a complete disaster. If you play this turn 2 and it can't kill whatever your opponent plays next, your turn 3 is going to suck balls. Not only have you now thrown yourself off curve, but you don't have board control either. Good luck finding any kind of use against a dragon priest or a heavy control deck.
And to top off the turd sundae, this is just one more example of a Shaman card that is strictly worse than the Paladin equivalent. You can talk up the ability to play it on turn 2 all you want, it's never going to be better than a Shielded Minibot into Coghammer.Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

No, a single Stormforged Axe on Turn 2 with no follow is always going to be worse than two cards that result in two divine shields. But, you don't have to be a genius to recognize that two class cards are probably going to be better than one.
Now, if we consider Stormforged Axe with a card like Tunnel Trogg, we have a formidable comparison. Tunnel Trogg will become a 2/3 thanks to Stormforged Axe's overload, and that will result in the ability to deal 4 damage on turn 2, yes, good luck getting past that turn 2 Dragon Priest minion, am I right? Not to mention the pair of cards you considered way better than this *Single* card actually fumble when matched against Tunnel Trogg and Stormforged Axe, because the combination of Trogg and Axe will take down the Shielded Minibot before you can make much use of it, which means you lose the minion that you can buff with Coghammer, making your turn 3 incredibly awkward, lest you have Muster for Battle. Meanwhile I will be able to do something along the lines of play a Totem Golem(2 mana) on the turn I am overloaded, which not only deals with the only other viable turn 3 play the Paladin has(Muster) but it also buffs the Tunnel Trogg to 3 attack(if it is still alive) While I still have a 2/2 weapon to help control the board with. Not only is that the case, but I equip an immediate attacking weapon for 3 mana to control the early game faster which allows me to afford losing a mana for the next turn to make a weapon play, because the 2 mana card next turn is supported by a 2 damage guarantee exert from the case of Acidic Swamp Ooze turn 3, which is still an inefficient use of mana.
So, yes, you're right, Common card Stormforged Axe does not compare to Common card Shielded Minibot and the Epic card Coghammer, but maybe that's because 1) Shielded minibot is/was considered the best class card 2-drop, 2) Coghammer provides more value as a 3-mana Epic weapon, and 3) Coghammer and Shielded Minibot are Paladin Class cards, not Shaman class cards, meaning they fit different themes, and direct comparison between Stormforged Axe and Coghammer+Shielded minibot would be like direct comparison between Ancient of Lore and Arcane Intellect+Flash Heal; a terrible way of deciding value.Last edited by Aravash on Mar 8, 2016Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

I certainly don't dispute any of those points. I made the statement before I realized the true, horrifying power of Tunnel Trogg, and I really wish that Shaman had more cards like it that minimize the downside of overload. And I don't contest that it's not fair to compare cards between classes, rarities and mana costs. But I still stick to my statement that Stormforged Axe is absolutely horribly valued.
I guess a better comparison would be Fiery War Axe. Not only does it not have the overload downside, but there are WAY more playable 2-drops with 3 health than there are with 2. And yeah, you could argue that that's unforeseen meta consequences, and that warrior weapons should be better or that durability is more valuable than damage. But could you honestly say that given the option you would ever put Stormforged Axe in a Shaman deck if you could take Fiery War Axe instead?
It just feels like one more card that was given overload because it's Shaman's "thing" and not because it's actually a well costed card.Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

The difference between War Axe and Stormforged Axe is their class' playstyle.
Shaman has an excess of cheap minions and damage cards, which allows him to easily take control of the early game. Thanks to this early game aggression, 2 attack is more than suitable for the shaman to work with alongside high power cards like Totem Golem, Flametongue Totem, and Tunnel Trogg. Meanwhile Warrior, before the advent of TGT, had Cruel Taskmaster, Armorsmith and Warbot as cheap 2-mana minions to play, 2 of which were generally rather underwhelming as early game cards, since a 1-3 becoming maybe a 2-2 wasn't that great at all, and Cruel Taskmaster at best deals with an opposing 2-drop only after it deals extra damage to the face. Even with the advent of TGT, he only receives 2 viable 2-drops, which are actually rather situational and don't mesh well with standard warrior decks. This justifies a weapon as powerful as Fiery War Axe, because without it Warrior would die too easily to early game aggression, and with very little AoE at hand, he would be doomed to fall behind unless a card like Fiery War Axe allowed him to survive multiple threats with minimal suffering. Also of note is that a 2-3 is a much more long-lasting weapon, and a class like Shaman, who demands high value cards that can trade at least 2 for 1 to keep up pace as a result of his minimal card draw, justifies a 2-3 weapon over a 3-2 weapon.
To conclude, it's 1 overload is a result of extra survivability, and the fact that weapon damage is immediate, whereas 2-mana minions have to wait a turn to do anything and risk potentially being removed. Warrior doesn't have that overload clause because his class has very little other Early game aggression, whereas many Shaman decks have around 10 3> mana damage cards, and this was definitely a design choice for the shaman class as opposed to a coincidence.Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

3 mana buys you a 2/3 weapon with an upside. The upside with this is that by having one overload, you can play it on turn 2 to start getting value one turn sooner. This is a decent upside, especially in a meta with more 3/2s than 2/3s as 2 drops, but it's hard to imagine it as a more potent upside than Coghammer's ability to give a minion Taunt and Divine Shield, for instance.Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

While this weapon is often less good today because many 1- and 2-drops have 3 health after Naxx and GvG, at least it doesn't feel bad to hit sticky minions with this if you have to - it's the only way as a shaman to avoid losing card advantage against sticky minions other than using Earth Shock. Often times you need Spell Power and the damage from totems to get a full card's value out of Earth Shock, such as using it against Haunted Creeper for example. It has to be said that minions with 3 health, such as Piloted Shredder, pose shaman a lot of problems. That 3-health range on sticky minions is brutal, to which Fire Elemental is the only value-based to really deal with it other than neutral silence effects.
Overall great weapon, but less good now that power creep has happened. Because of this, Crackle may be a better option, because at least it deals with the 3-health problem and has a chance to kill much bigger minions too, without taking loss of health.Last edited by egervari on Dec 11, 2014Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

"3 mana: Destroy 3 minions. Deal 8 damage to your hero." I would play the hell out of that, and that's often what this becomes.Last edited by master_of_the_universe on Feb 17, 2015Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

Tele-Town Hall With Senator Liz Warren – Confirm Cordray For CFPB Now!
By Consumers Union on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013
Jim Guest, President of Consumers Union, invited Senator Warren to sit down and talk about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the importance of having Richard Cordray confirmed as its Director.
Jim Guest, President of Consumers Union and Senator Warren
After the banking and mortgage collapse that drove our nation to the brink, hundreds of thousands of you demanded a tough financial watchdog, and Congress responded by creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Unfortunately, Richard Cordray has been waiting and waiting for a Senate confirmation vote, and with each day of delay there is uncertainty in the marketplace. Richard Cordray has successfully lead the CFPB for the past year, overseeing enforcement that has returned $425 million to millions of consumers lured into purchasing financial products that they did not need or understand. Now, a minority of Senators are holding hostage the confirmation, until they can significantly weaken its authority to protect the public. Consumers Union held a tele-town hall to coordinate consumer action and urge the Senate to confirm the highly qualified Cordray immediately.
Thousands of consumers from all across the country called in to listen and ask Senator Warren questions about the state of Cordray's confirmation and how they could help make sure that the first financial consumer watchdog stayed strong. You can join Senator Warren and Consumers Union in urging the Senate to take action and confirm Richard Cordray.
To learn more about the CFPB and why Senator Warren thinks the Senate should act now listen to the full recording.

Biomass Thermal Energy Council Announces Newest Webinar About the European Biomass Experience
BTEC's latest webinar "Brits, Brussels and Biomass: The European Path to Renewable Heating" will be live on June 15 at 12 noon ET. Registration for this educational event is completely free.
Brits, Brussels, and Biomass: The European Path Towards Renewable Heating
Registration is now open for the free educational webinar on June 15 at 12PM ET, 9 AM PT
Washington, DC, 6/9/11 --- Imagine the impact on U.S. jobs and local economies if 95% of new domestic heating appliances used renewable fuels and avoided costly oil imports. That is the case in Austria; while in several European countries renewable heating is fast becoming a reality. Other nations are taking note of these successful examples to successfully displace fossil fuel use.
Attend the free webcast, "Brits, Brussels, and Biomass: The European Path Towards Renewable Heating," on Wednesday, June 15 at 12PM ET by the Biomass Thermal Energy Council (BTEC) (www.biomassthermal.org), and hear from three highly distinguished panelists on their countries' paths toward renewable heating. This is the sixth webinar in a series funded in part by the USDA's Wood Education and Resource Center (WERC).
This free webinar will connect attendees with their European counterparts to learn the successes and failures of 20+ years of renewable heating policy. Attend and learn:
� Why countries like Austria and Britain have recognized the potential of renewable heating
� How the European Union has taken action to encourage renewable heating policies in the member states
� How strong, consistent public policy supportive of renewable heat can change energy consumption in a region
� Which challenges these countries had to overcome and how
� What incentives have proven highly successful and could be implemented in the U.S.
� G�nter H�rmandinger, First Counselor - Environment, Delegation of the European Union to the United States of America
� Andrej Miller, Policy Manager, Renewable Heat Incentive, U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change
� Christiane Egger, Deputy Director, Upper Austrian Renewable Energy Agency
� Joseph Seymour, Program Coordinator - Policy and Government Affairs, BTEC
� Moderated by Emanuel Wagner, Program Coordinator - Outreach, Education and External Affairs, BTEC
"More than one-third of primary energy [is] being used for heat, [but] there has been a lack of recognition of the role of renewable heat in policy delivery. The approach could be characterized as - no targets; no concerted policy; no strategy; and, limited support for development…Biomass is unique as the only widespread source of high-grade renewable heat." – United Kingdom Biomass Task Force – Report to the Government (2005)
All registrants will have access to a live recording and copy of the presentation after the webinar. Registration is available at www.biomassthermal.org. For additional questions on this event, please contact:

Mothering Sunday was this past weekend and the competition for "favourite sibling" was getting out of hand according to ICRTouch's TouchOffice Web live sales database.
In real-time ICRTouch record and monitor every sale going through TouchOffice Web from around the country using The Dashboard. Just take a look for yourself, below.
View in real-time at http://dashboard.icrtouch.com/
This Sunday certainly showed a dramatic increase in sales during lunch hours between midday and 3pm with a total of 1,511,730 sales put through TouchPoint tills connected to the ICRTouch cloud based service, TouchOffice Web adding up to a whopping £1,274,667. What makes these figures even more impressive is that TouchOffice Web currently accounts for around 7% of the ICRTouch tills that are currently out in the wild.
So, as a nation we may have gone a bit overboard on mum this year, but we all know she's worth every penny and more. If you wanted to put a figure on it however, ol' mum's worth £17,208,004 on her special day.
Colin Ringer, ICRTouch CEO says, "What I find most interesting about these figures is the comparison to the previous Sunday. Whilst the number of sales were up by about 6%, indicating that more people went out for lunch this Sunday, the total value of these sales climbed by a staggering 15% meaning that people on the whole were spending more per visit; which can be accounted for by the normal Sunday lunch goers bringing along that extra person on her special day."

Matt Wells welcomes Maggie Brown and John Plunkett back to the studio for this Media Talk.
We begin by looking at the BBC, in particular its news output. The BBC Trust has found that TalkSport's owner UTV does have legitimate cause for concern about how much news is broadcast on Radio 5 Live. Meanwhile, MPs are lobbying to reverse the cuts at the BBC World Service, while head of news Helen Boaden has criticised the culture of jetting out big-name presenters to major news stories. What do this all say about the governance at the corporation?
Also in the podcast, Dan Sabbagh bring us the latest on the phone-hacking saga, after another senior News of the World journalist was arrested just days after News International issued an apology and admitted liability in a number of cases involving 'voicemail interception'.
Finally, Vicky Frost pops in to deliver the inaugural Gareth McLean Memorial Lecture as we revive our TV review section. Up for discussion: the future of Simon Cowell, the new series of MasterChef, and Spiral on BBC4.

The benefits of a lower-cost model are extensive and not simply related to lower costs for families and schools. The Learning Away partnership schools that developed lower-cost models reported a range of benefits – many of which were sustained long after each residential ended.
Benefits for children ^
- More frequent and more sustainable residential experiences can be provided.
- Greater numbers of children can experience each residential.
- Since lower-cost models tend to occur fairly locally to school, they can be less daunting for younger children.
- Children with additional needs – medical or behavioural, perhaps – who might not be able to access a residential far from home are able to attend the whole event or part of it.
- Schools have greater control over the logistics of the residential; children can therefore play a key role in the planning of activities in advance as well as during the event.
- There is more freedom to adapt the programme to better meet the needs of individuals –external factors (e.g. other school visits to the site) are unlikely to affect the programme and there are fewer time restrictions. This enables activities and tasks to be modified to suit the needs of the children on the day.
In this short film, Siobhan Tolson and Nikki Taylor, members of staff at Snakewood Primary School (part of the Bulwell EAZ Learning Away partnership) and the parent of a child at the school talk about the benefits for children of their low-cost camping model.
Benefits for staff ^
- An excellent professional development opportunity to develop new skills and lead activities.
- Staff feel more ownership of the residential and activities.
- The residentials tend to be more local; therefore staff can often contribute to part of the residential if they are not able to attend the whole residential.
- Residentials develop new, or build deeper, relationships between young people and other adults from the school as they lead and support activities.
- There is more flexibility with time, allowing staff to be freer to interact informally with the young people.
In this film, Linda Abbott, the Bulwell EAZ Learning Away coordinator, Siobhan and Nikki also describe the benefits for staff.
Benefits for parents, carers and the wider community ^
- There is a reduced requirement for financial contributions from families, which can often be a barrier to children being able to attend residentials.
- Parents and carers can participate in the planning of the residential and see first hand how it meets the needs and interests of their child.
- Using the local area encourages the children to return to residential venues – with their families – which can support the sustainability of local amenities.
- Using community-based sites such as the local secondary school can be positive PR for both schools and play an invaluable role in assisting smooth transition.
- More links are made with local volunteers and community groups, meaning schools engage more with their community.
- Local volunteers are more likely to become regular volunteers in school – or even find employment at the school.
Linda, Siobhan and Nikki recognise that their local, low-cost camping residentials also have benefits for parents, carers and the wider community, which they share their thoughts on in this film.

The SN74ACT16373Q-EP is a 16-bit D-type transparent latch with 3-state outputs, designed specifically for driving highly capacitive or relatively low-impedance loads. It is particularly suitable for implementing buffer registers, I/O ports, bidirectional bus drivers, and working registers.
This device can be used as two 8-bit latches or one 16-bit latch. The Q outputs of the latches follow the data (D) inputs if the latch-enable (LE) input is taken high. When LE is taken low, the Q outputs are latched at the levels set up at the D inputs.
A buffered output-enable (OE)\ input can be used to place the outputs in either a normal logic state (high or low logic levels) or the high-impedance state. In the high-impedance state, the outputs neither load nor drive the bus lines significantly. The high-impedance state and the increased drive provide the capability to drive bus lines in a bus-organized system, without need for interface or pullup components.
OE\ does not affect the internal operations of the latches. Old data can be retained or new data can be entered while the outputs are in the high-impedance state.

ABC's Wants Roberto Martinez as 'The Bachelor', Report Says
There is a new "Bachelor" in town ladies! And he is H-O-T!
Remember sexy Roberto Martínez from "The Bachelorette?" The one who ended up marrying Ali Fedotowsky? (They actually stayed together for 18 months) Life & Style is reporting that Martínez is getting his own show now and will be the next "Bachelor" looking for his queen, since he and Fedotowsky called off their engagement last November.
"They chose him because he's very likable," a source told Life & Style."While Ali claimed the split was "100 percent mutual," the insider notes, "in the back of Roberto's mind, I'm sure there's some enjoyment in getting revenge on Ali."
The undisclosed source adds that "he's already signed the contract."
Despite all the single ladies, who now have hope of winning over Martínez's heart, the 27-year-old hunk says he is not interested in having tons of women fighting for his love.
Another source tells Us Weekly mag that the news about Mr. Hunk being the next "Bachelor" "is far from the truth."
"They are asking him to be the next bachelor, but he has no interest as of right now," the source told US Weekly.
The back and forth with Martínez comes just weeks after the show was hit with a discrimination lawsuit.
Two African-American men, Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson, filed a federal lawsuit in Nashville against ABC and the popular shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette."
The lawsuit claims the shows engaged in patterns of racial discrimination because ethnic groups, including Latinos and African Americans, were blocked from having the chance to participate in leading roles.
While only Claybrooks and Johnson were named in the suit, it was filed on behalf of all people of color who've attempted to land "the role of the 'Bachelor' or 'Bachelorette' but [have] been denied the equal opportunity for selection on the basis of race."
The complaint goes on to say that after 10 years of being on the air, neither "The Bachelor" nor "The Bachelorette" has featured "a single person of color – whether African-American, Latino, Asian, or any other minority race or ethnicity — in the central role."
"In 16 seasons of 'The Bachelor' and seven seasons of 'The Bachelorette,' every person featured in the lead role on either show has been white."
Martínez could be the first.

Hi All,
I have recently discovered the joys of DLNA on my samsung smart TV, and streaming media.
I have a friend who has a Toshiba 42" 42HL800AZ (dumb TV by all accounts, no ethernet or wireless) - but the TV is plugged into a xbox which has a enternet cable to the wireless ADSL router.
I want to make the TV a bit smarter via the xbox (if possible) so they can play photos off there PC on the TV, play movies either off the PC via Xbox on TV or, off a USB stick plugged into xbox.
Can someone please advise me on the options here?

Been struggling to resolve this error since yesterday in Flash Builder 4.7 packaging an app for iOS.
Error occurred while packaging the application:

In my case this seemed to be caused by a 32-bit installation of JRE (Java Runtime Environment) I had installed for an unrelated application. With JRE installed it's possible that Flash Builder was attempting but unable to use the 32-bit dlls?
Apparent Solution:
I installed the 64-bit version of JRE alongside it which appears to have resolved the problem.
My previous proposed solution (of installing the 64-bit JRE) resulted in a different problem. After multiple attempts and restarts I was unable to work in the Flash Builder IDE as it became unresponsive on load. Each time I had to use Task Manager to close the application.
Apparent Solution:
Close all applications running in Windows
Uninstall all versions of JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
Uninstall Flash Builder 4.7
Reinstall Flash Builder 4.7

Brian Jungen's Masks Reconsider 'Native' Crafts From the Insole Out
Monday, October 24, 2005
Around 1535, Spanish priests offered bounties for the sacred objects of Mexico's defeated natives. They wanted to smash and burn those sculptures as false idols. "You want idols?" said the exhausted locals. "Okay, we'll give you idols, if that's what it takes to make you happy," and they set about making works of "native" craft whose only function was to sate their conquerors.
That may be the first example of native peoples making art to fill colonial demand. But it was not the last. To this day, the gift shops in Vancouver and Seattle airports have an endless supply of "traditional" Indian carvings, made in the trademark red cedar of Northwest Coast art.
Brian Jungen, whose mother is from British Columbia's Dunne-Za native group, is just the most recent in a long line of aboriginal artists making art built to fulfill others' notions of their identity. It just so happens that the art Jungen makes is so subtly complex, and deals so tellingly with the whole predicament of what native art is all about, that he counts as one of today's most interesting and widely acclaimed younger artists of any ethnic group. That must make his Swiss father just as proud as his Indian mother.
Jungen's first retrospective, a touring show that recently premiered at the prestigious New Museum in New York, presents a sampling from almost a decade's worth of work.
The pieces that first gained him attention may still be Jungen's best. Starting in 1998, Jungen began working with Nike Air Jordan athletic shoes -- fetish objects up there with sacred eagle feathers -- which he cut up, then reconfigured into credible facsimiles of native masks from the Northwest Pacific Coast. Jungen lucked out with his source material, because the red, white and black of the Air Jordans, as well as their swooshy shapes and logos, were dead ringers for the colors and forms preferred by pre-contact native craftsmen. Using only pieces of Air Jordans -- along with occasional strands of lank black "native" hair -- Jungen sewed and glued together one mask that's like a long-beaked bird. Another shows a google-eyed spirit. A third depicts a killer whale, said to be revered by the oceangoing inhabitants of the Pacific rain forest. Several dozen others run through an imagined native pantheon.
Like a physicist smashing atoms to come up with new elements, Jungen has done a mash-up of old native art and new Western commodities, to construct a hybrid that fully partakes of both. His "Prototypes for New Understanding," as he calls these works, are a kind of re-imagining of what native culture might be if it took account of all the forces acting on it, from spirit dances to the NBA.
You'd imagine that one of the most powerful of those forces would be a treasure trove of ancient Indian traditions. Jungen's work, however, suggests that just as powerful would be a kind of feedback loop of purely foreign ideas about nativeness -- that Western stereotypes of Indian culture are just as relevant to today's natives as forms that once were fully theirs.
Jungen's masks don't really have that much in common with the sacred objects that they're riffing on. It's hard to imagine a Haida dancer, circa 1800, recognizing them as anything he could ever use. Instead, they seem only to satisfy crude Western cliches of what native art looks like and means. Like those conquered Mexicans, Jungen seems to be saying, "You want native-looking stuff from me because I'm supposed to be a native artist? Okay, here are forms that ought to fit the bill."
The fact that Jungen's native ancestors occupied lands hundreds of miles and a mountain range away from the rain forest carvers of the coast hardly seems to matter when it comes to making art that satisfies the modern art world's Indian ideals. (Even a sophisticated essay in the exhibition catalogue, which presents the story of those conquistador priests, doesn't seem to acknowledge that the Dunne-Za are absolutely different from the coastal groups.) It's as though Jungen is stuck with other people's weirdly artificial notions of his identity -- as perhaps most of us are -- and tries to live up to those notions, using the materials that come to hand in the mixed-up urban culture that is truly his.
So Jungen gives us "classic" native masks cobbled from Nike shoes.
Or, in more recent works, life-size models of huge whale skeletons -- Jungen's a British Columbia native, right, so aren't he and whales supposed to have an almost sacred link? -- which he hangs overhead like natural-history displays. Except that the hundreds of "bones" of Jungen's whales have all been cut from the cheapest plastic lawn chairs.
Or things can go the other way. Jungen has also used the "traditional" skills and materials of native art to duplicate icons of international capitalism. The coarse pine shipping pallets that literally underlie global trade have been remade by Jungen in gorgeously finished, hand-pegged red cedar, as carefully crafted as any potlatch tray -- or high-end airport souvenir.
Not all of Jungen's work involves questions of Indian art and identity. For all his semi-native roots, he's a full-fledged, card-carrying member of the Western art world, and he's worked on a wide range of contemporary concerns, from the fate of utopian modern architecture to the cultural status of abstract art.
But in every case, he's probed the issues with an irresistible mix of caustic humor and flawless visual appeal. However well you understand the problems that his masks address, you want one for over your mantel -- right beside your soapstone walrus and ebony elephant.
Brian Jungen's solo show is at the New Museum, 556 W. 22nd St. in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, through Dec. 31. Call 212-219-1222 or visithttp:/

1. For each tin, form a small clay flower to fit the lid. Roll small balls or ovals as petals, or roll a long rope and coil it. Add a desired center to each flower. Place flowers on a cookie sheet.
2. To make leaves, roll a small ball. Flatten it slightly and shape into a leaf. Flatten again if necessary. Add to clay flower.
3. To add indentations, use a paper clip. Use the rounded end to add vein lines or the tip of a paper clip to add small holes.
4. To add polka dots to the tin base, make pea-size balls from clay. Place on cookie sheet. Press a seed bead in the center of each piece of clay.
5. To add a dotted band to the tin base, roll out a piece of clay until it is approximately 1/8-inch thick. Use a ruler and a crafts knife to cut one straight edge. Carefully lift clay up and cut a scalloped edge 1/2-inch from the straight edge. Place around tin base, positioning low enough to avoid interfering with the placement of the lid. Press a seed bead into the clay by every other scallop.
6. To add a twisted rope trim to the tin base, choose two colors of clay. Roll each into thin ropes. Twist the ropes together. Place twisted rope around the tin base as desired. Cut away excess clay. Press seed beads into clay where desired.
7. Bake the clay pieces in the oven according to the manufacturer's instructions. Let cool.
8. Glue the clay pieces on the tins. Let the glue dry.

Canvas stretcher: Make it or Buy it?
My art school taught me how to build my own stretchers by hand from standard lumber-yard materials. If yours didn't, I think you got ripped off. I'm not saying that making stretchers is easy, and I understand that painters aren't necessarily carpenters. But if you're even moderately handy, you can build a much better stretcher than any store-bought readymade. You can build stretchers cheaper and stronger, and you can build them to exactly the dimensions you want.
What is a canvas stretcher?
A canvas stretcher is a wooden frame inside a painting on canvas. Like an embroidery hoop, it holds the canvas taut. The canvas is stretched across and around a stretcher, and tacked or stapled to the back. Once a painting has been framed, you can't see the stretcher, but it's a permanent part of the artwork. The painted canvas is only removed from the stretcher for short-term storage, travel, or repair.
If you're an art lover, that's background information. If you're a painter, that's a fundamental piece of equipment.
You can buy stretched canvas
Every art supply store stocks ready-made stretched canvases. They're commercially manufactured and assembled with primed canvas.
Cheaper stretched canvases are made with lighter wood, thinner members, and cheaper canvas. Cheaper stretched canvases have the canvas stapled on the sides (rather than on the back) to use less canvas.
Expensive stretched canvases should be stronger. You'll pay more for thicker stretchers, cross-bars, and/or corner braces. You'll pay more for stretchers milled to create an especially deep drop from the outside edge, and consider yourself lucky to find them. You'll pay more for hardwood stretchers, and it's worth it for big paintings. You'll pay more for linen (rather than cotton) canvas.
Prices and availability vary hugely, but I can give you some ballpark figures. At the time of this writing (February 2006), a 16-inch by 20-inch stretched canvas, cotton on a regular 7/8 inch deep stretcher, primed with acrylic gesso, retails for $5 to $12 CDN. A 16-inch by 20-inch stretched stretched canvas, cotton on a gallery-depth 1 and 3/4 inch deep basswood stretcher, primed with acrylic gesso, retails for $12 to $25 CDN. A 16-inch by 20-inch stretched canvas in linen starts from $22 CDN. [For a few points of comparison, also at the time of this writing, my toothpaste cost $4 CDN today, and 2 litres of Diet Dr. Pepper cost $1 CDN.]
You can assemble your own stretchers
You can buy commercially milled stretcher bars in various lengths and assemble them in your studio with simple hand tools. You're ready to start stretching your canvas in a matter of minutes. The stretcher bars are essentially the same as those used to produce the readymades. The advantages of assembling your own are:
- You can save money. Maybe. At the time of this writing (February 2006), 16-inch stretcher bars cost from $1.25 CDN to $4 CDN apiece. Shop around, and remember that your time is valuable, too.
- You can build a wider range of sizes. Stretchers come in lots of lengths, in even numbers of inches (6", 8", 10", etc.). I've never seen a 36" X 14" readymade canvas, but you could assemble one from off-the-shelf parts.
- You can use your favourite canvas instead of the standard stuff. That means you can splurge on Belgian linen when you're feeling flush, and recycle an old tarpaulin when you're broke.
- You'll always get a tighter canvas by stretching unprimed canvas, then gessoing it on the stretcher. Can't do that with readymade! Stretcher keys (little triangular bits you jam into the dovetailed corners) are remedial add-ons used to compensate for the floppy sloppy results of machine-stretching pre-primed canvas.
You can build your own stretchers
Why are handmade stretchers better than the ones you assemble yourself from off-the-rack stretcher bars? I have never seen a stretcher bar with a deep enough drop-off from the outside edge. A shallow drop means the important part of your canvas, the part with the painting on it, is exposed to the raw wood. That might be a conservation issue sometime down the road. The bigger problem is one you'll notice in the studio. When you paint, the canvas will bounce against that stretcher, leaving a telltale line in your painting.
If you get good at building canvas stretchers, you can earn money on the side building high-quality custom pieces for other artists in your community. Stick your card on the bulletin boards in your local art supply stores. Somebody always needs good stretchers. You did!
How to build a canvas stretcher
Some things can't be taught in words. If you don't know what a mitre joint is, you're not ready to build your own canvas stretcher. If there's anything on the tools-and-materials list that you don't recognize, by name or on sight, you're not ready to build your own canvas stretcher. Show these instructions to a friendly woodworker, and trade paintings for carpentry lessons.
Tools and Materials
- 8-foot length(s) of 3/4" quarter-round AKA round-over molding
- 8-foot length(s) of clear pine one-by-two
- 1" finishing nails
- carpenter's glue
- hammer
- mitre clamp
- hand saw and mitre box [the hard way], or
- mitre saw [the easy way], or
- compound mitre saw [the easy, versatile way]
The goal is to build a rectangular wooden frame strong enough in all directions to withstand the stress of the stretched canvas. That frame must have a raised outside edge so that the canvas you paint doesn't rest on any wood, or press against any wood when you apply a brushstroke.
You're going to create your own eight-foot lengths of stretcher-bar-stuff, then cut them down to the pieces you need for your project. Save the excess for a future stretcher.
- Nail and glue the quarter-round onto the wide face of the one-by-two, aligning a flat face of the quarter-round with an outside edge of the one-by-two.
HINT: Click on the diagram to study a large version carefully. This is one of the things people mess up. You want the flat edge of the quarter-round on the outside. Really.
HINT: Space your nails evenly about every six inches, and don't hide them. You will be cutting through this stretcher-bar-stuff later and you don't want to hit a nail. Nails destroy saw blades.
- Plan your cuts.
HINT: How big do you want your picture to be? For a picture 16" by 20", you need two stretcher bars 16" long and two stretcher bars 20" long. Measure along the edge where the quarter-round is mounted.
- Mark and cut stretcher bars with mitred ends from the eight-foot length(s) of stretcher-bar-stuff.
A mitred stretcher bar is shaped like a trapezoid. The longest side is the outside edge of your finished stretcher, and that should be the side with the quarter-round mounted on it. If you're a painter doing this for art and experience, and you've never seen a wood shop before, memorize this piece of folk wisdom: Measure twice, cut once.
- Assemble the stretcher one corner at a time. Glue the corner, then secure it in the mitre clamp perfectly flat, perfectly aligned. Nail through the corner twice from each side.
If you're a woodworker doing this for love or money, and you've never seen a canvas stretcher before, pay special attention to this next bit...
HINT: The stretcher bars are assembled flat (not tall) and the quarter-round goes around the outside edge.
ADVANCED PLAY: If your stretcher's bigger than 36 inches a side, you'll also want cross-braces. Let's leave that as an exercise for the reader, shall we? This is when I'd reach for a biscuit joiner.
Relevant Links: How to stretch canvas
Stretching a canvas is like putting a flat sheet onto a bed, with crisp
hospital corners... and then stapling it in place. (Hey, Doloros, that
would have made boot camp easier!) There are lots of places on the web that show you how to stretch a canvas.
However, the web changes every day.
If one of these links should fade, you could use my description
to do your own keyword search for similar relevant sites.
- Art studio chalkboard, on how to stretch a canvas
- artsparx.com, on how to stretch a canvas
- about.com, on how to stretch a canvas
Make it or Buy it?
If you've got a compound mitre saw and mitre clamps and you know how to use them, making canvas stretchers is easy, and half the price. However, at the time of this writing (February 2006) a compound mitre saw costs $300 CDN to $700 CDN. How many canvas stretchers do you expect to build?
If I needed a standard canvas in a hurry, I'd buy it readymade, stretched and gessoed. If I wasn't handy, I'd buy readymade. If I was tragically separated from my tools and my studio, I'd buy readymade. If I was doing a student project or a commercial assignment (where museum quality isn't usually necessary), and I had more money than time, I'd buy readymade. But if I wanted a good deep canvas stretcher, I'd make one. If I wanted unusual or large dimensions, I'd make one. If I wanted to paint on anything other than standard ten-pound cotton duck, I'd make one.
If I was broke and had more time than money, I'd make canvas stretchers, using hand tools if that's all I had. I'd end up with better stretchers and I'd spend my savings on good paint and a shot of single-malt whiskey.

and expertise; pose questions about a particular dilemma or situation =
and brainstorm with list members to develop solutions; and recommend =
resources on the chosen topic. For the month of June we will focus on =
effective strategies for equitable teacher-student interactions. =20
We will continue to post messages on other topics. In order to =
encourage a broad range of participation, however, we must remind you =
that each list member is limited to a total of two messages per day. We =
will post the first two messages we receive from you and return any =
subsequent messages that put you over the limit for that day. You may =
resubmit these messages at a later date.
We hope these changes will begin to address some of the issues raised in =
the past few weeks. We encourage you to join in the discussion this =
month and then let us know what you think about the new format.
Thanks for your participation.
