Across the country and the political spectrum, from policy makers to people at home, people are calling for criminal justice reform and the end of mass incarceration. But what does effective reform look like? What transformation is necessary to end mass incarceration? What visions and solutions are being put forth by the communities most impacted by criminalization and incarceration? Fearless Vision // Real Solutions is a three-day political education meeting with a focus on Native American strategies for justice and organizing across identity and sectors of the movement. Experienced organizers and activists will share with us their vision and strategy from the front lines. Join the Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) for deep learning and conversation toward becoming better funders, supporters, and activists in the growing national movement to end mass incarceration.
Day 1: Native Strategies for Justice

Day 3: Toward Total Freedom
Saturday Day: Join us for a day of panel discussions with Bay area organizers and CJI grantees about where different identities and sectors of the criminal justice movement meet, how to navigate movement strengths and tensions so people are fully welcomed and valued in the movement to create a new system based on the principles of restorative justice.

Two of the images below show the women's dorm on campus. The photos were taken between 1912 and 1919. The third image shows the bedroom of two Butler students. It was likely taken in a private home as the young women were members of the Kappa Kappa Kappa Sorority, but it might have been taken in the dorm. Note all of the interesting items in that photo!

For immediate release…
Monday – Dec. 1, 2014
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – James Flynn, superintendent of Simpson County Schools and a graduate of the Northern Kentucky University Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program, has been selected as the 2015 Kentucky Superintendent of the Year by the Kentucky Association of School Administrators (KASA).
Mr. Flynn was presented the award at Franklin Simpson High School in a surprise ceremony attended by faculty, staff, board members, KASA staff, the Honorable Wilson Stone, and other local dignitaries. Mr. Flynn now competes for the National Superintendent of the Year Award, to be given by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) in February.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this award and share it with the amazing team of students, staff, and community partners here in Simpson County," said Mr. Flynn. He also credited his time at NKU. "My NKU experience in the Educational Leadership doctoral program was the best professional development experience of my life," he said. "It made a profound impact on me as a leader and educator."
Boone County Superintendent Randy Poe, Ed.D., who won the award in 2013, said, "Dr. Jim Flynn is a dynamic, inventive, and creative leader. Jim is willing to share his superintendent knowledge and is the go-to individual among his colleagues."
Now in its 28th year, the 2015 AASA National Superintendent of the Year Program pays tribute to the talent and vision of the men and women who lead our nation's public schools. Mr. Flynn was selected for his enthusiastic and iconic devotion to improving achievement levels for all students.
Under his leadership, the district has had multiple successes with various programs targeting at-risk populations, has been a frontrunner in the now statewide Professional Growth and Evaluation System (PGES) for administrators, and has achieved a pervasive focus on nurturing the district's learning culture. Mr. Flynn is at the helm of a district with a free/reduced lunch rate of 62 percent, meaning over half of the students qualify for free or reduced rates for district-provided meals.
Rated a Proficient district by the state of Kentucky, almost 98 percent of 2014 graduates from Simpson County earned a state credential as college-ready, career-ready, or both, which is about 35 percent higher than the state average for college- and career-readiness certification of 62.3 percent. One hundred percent of the district's alternative school graduates were certified as college- and/or career-ready as well.
Mr. Flynn began his career as a school administrator as the dean of students at Corpus Christi Academy in Texas before becoming an assistant principal in the Warren County Public Schools (Bowling Green), a principal in the Shelby County School District (Shelbyville), and the last 11 years as the superintendent of Simpson County Schools in Franklin.
Milli McIntosh, human resources director for Simpson County Schools, nominated Mr. Flynn for the award. "His unwavering commitment to do 'what's right' and 'what's best for the children' is observable by every decision he makes, and at the same time, his commitment touches all around him…evidenced by the fact that his beliefs become the beliefs of others," Ms. McIntosh said.
Mr. Flynn has contributed significantly to the education community beyond his district, as well. In addition to various positions on local boards, he is a faculty member and mentor for the KASA leadership series for onboarding new superintendents. He also serves as past president of the Kentucky Association of School Superintendents, vice chair of the Local Superintendents Advisory Council, and adjunct faculty for the Center for Leadership Excellence at Western Kentucky University.
"Jim understands that great leadership begins when you get back to the basics," said KASA Executive Director Wayne Young. "He has worked diligently to create a school culture that inspires initiative, exploration, and service to others, and that culture is paying dividends back to the community every day through the entry of life-ready citizens."
Mr. Flynn will receive a bronze eagle to commemorate the award, a $2,500 scholarship for one of his high school students, and a 2015 Superintendent of the Year ring. He will also participate in celebration activities at the American Association of School Administrators' National Meeting on Public Education in February. The award is made possible by KASA and Classworks.
Representing more than 3,000 education leaders, KASA has members in every school district in the commonwealth. Since 1969, KASA has been connecting education leaders to policy makers, legislators, and other interest groups, in addition to providing benefits and services to Kentucky's school administrators.

Effective methods for identifying novel interacting proteins
Lien, Jia Hao
Date of Issue2017
School of Biological Sciences
With the increasing rate of technological advancement over the years, many affordable and innovative techniques have been developed to study protein-protein interactions. However, it is still a challenge for most of the techniques to display their effectiveness in identifying interactions as protein interaction is a complex process in which cells respond to a myriad of stimuli. This review provides an evaluation of approaches to identify novel interacting proteins with regards to the specificity and sensitivity of the methods as an elaborate understanding of proteins interactions is critical as it can bring us a step closer to achieving complete comprehension of human protein interaction network and disease mechanism system. The aim of the review emphasizes mainly on the mechanism, advantages, and limitation of each technique to understand how they are distinctive over the others in different types of situations. Recent developments or researches related to the approaches are also mentioned in the review.

Steel czar LN Mittal India's richest, again!
King of steel Lakshmi N Mittal reigns as the richest Indian for the fourth year in a row with a wealth of $51 billion.business Updated: Nov 15, 2007 13:13 IST
King of steel Lakshmi N Mittal reigns as the richest Indian for the fourth year in a row with a wealth of $51 billion, although his crown is under threat from Mukesh Ambani whose net worth soared to $49 billion, according to Forbes' India's 40 Richest list for 2007.
But Mukesh's position too is under threat from his younger brother Anil, who is closing on his heels with a wealth of $45 billion at the third spot, US-based Forbes magazine said.
Real estate tycoon Kushal Pal Singh of DLF elbowed Wipro's Azim Premji from the fourth spot in the list, which for the first time features all billionaires.
"The four richest Indians are worth an astonishing $180 billion," Forbes said, attributing the surge in wealth to a booming stock market.
The net worth of Mukesh Ambani has jumped from USD 30.5 billion to $49 billion, making him the year's biggest gainer. Anil's net worth increased to USD 45 billion from USD 30.2 billion.
The fourth richest Indian Kushal Pal Singh has a net worth of USD 35 billion and after the listing of his flagship DLF, he is now the world's richest real estate developer, Forbes said.
"... Thanks to the roaring Mumbai stock market, with the benchmark index gaining as much as 53 per cent in the past year and a strong rupee that appreciated 12 per cent, for the first time, all India rich-listers are billionaires," the magazine said in a report.
The minimum wealth required to make it to the rich-list was USD 1.6 billion against USD 790 million last year.
"In aggregate, their wealth surged to USD 351 billion, a bit more than double of last year's USD 170 billion, making India's 40 by far the wealthiest such group in all of Asia," the magazine added.
Forbes said 29 of the people who returned to the list were richer than last year, with the exception of Rahul Bajaj whose fortune was flat at USD 2.3 billion.
Newcomers to the list include "Gautam Adani, who built Mundra Port, Anand Jain, Mukesh Ambani's school buddy and Gautum Thapar, whose Ballarpur Industries is India's largest paper maker."
Notable drop offs include Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal and among those who failed to make the cut are Infosys' Nandan Nilekani and Senapathy Gopalakrishnan, and investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

After years of research, retired dentist, Joseph Fendall Outten, DDS of Greenville, South Carolina and his daughter, Mary Cornelia Outten, a healthcare executive with over 30 years of experience in healthcare negotiations, created the Dental Advocacy Group.
The organization's founding comes from Dr. Outten's deep love for the practice of dentistry and quality treatment of dental patients. Dr. Outten noticed that increased pressure from managed care entities, as well as franchise or corporate dental conglomerates, have changed the competitive landscape for the traditional, solo dental practice.
Dr. Outten believed that changes in competition and lower payer fee schedules were creating a pennies-for-profit environment which could result in the erosion of quality patient care. The answer to this dilemma was to create an organization that could help community dentist by providing a better network of resources with higher payer fee schedules, negotiated supplier pricing, marketing assistance, and help from non-competing dentists.
Cornelia spearheaded the Dental Advocacy Group's formation as an innovative solution for community dentists. She began utilizing a lifetime of contacts to develop relationships that would result in higher payer fee schedules, stress-free credentialing, deeply discounted dental supply rates, specialized dental marketing, better banking solutions, and created a dental practice round-table to bring non-competing dentists and office mangers together for peer networking.
Once assembled, the Dental Advocacy Group began accepting memberships from dentists, office managers and dental students, connecting them to its network of invaluable member resources and benefits.
Today, the Dental Advocacy Group remains true to its founding and continues to help community dentists throughout the United States.

Let's take another quick look at three former Valley Leaguers in the minor leagues who are off to pretty good starts:
- Chris Huffman (Staunton 2012-13) is pitching very well for High-A Lake Elsinore. He's currently 1-1, 1.17, with 16 hits, 3 walks, and 17 K's in 23 innings. He has two of the top 12 starts of VBL alumni in the minors so far this season. In his career, he's 20-13, 3.41 in 280 innings pitched.
- Shane Billings (Harrisonburg 2015) is hitting 306/324/306 in 36 at-bats for Peoria in the Midwest League so far. All 11 of his hits have been singles. In his very young career, he's hitting 251/277/278 in 227 AB.
- I'm convinced that Austin Adams (Staunton 2011) will make the major leagues this year. In Triple-A Syracuse so far in 2017, he's 2-1, 0.82, with 1 save, in 11 innings pitched. He's struck out 17 batters, but has also walked 8. Austin was traded from the Angels to the Nationals in December of 2016. In his entire career, he's 10-8, 3.61, with 164 walks and 298 strikeouts in 229 1/3 innings.

One Before Three - Day 3
"In the beginning God created... And God said... And God saw that it was good... God saw all that He had made, and it was very good."
For Day 3 of our 1 week together before 3 apart, Meeks and I attended a Painting for Fun class at Brushes & Beverages in downtown Columbus. I loved it! This date held a little more excitement for me because it was new ground for us. New ground in the sense that we had never done anything like this before.. and together for that matter. First of all, I am a sucker for all things artsy fartsy. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would say I wanted to write and play music for movie scores. Also from time to time in my dreams, I'm a world renowned Ballerina and I'm "bffsies" with Yo Yo Ma! So naturally the little Piccasso in me was stoked!
Anyway, when we entered the shoppe, our instructors for the evening greeted us and explained the way the class would work. We picked out our canvas, selected our sketch, and got to work. As soon as our instructor set the canvas and palette of colors in front of me, my stomach immediately hit the ground. With the brush in my hand, I realized this isn't going to be just like painting my nails the way I had originally imagined. This thing is blank and I've got to make it come to life! As I looked over at my husbands selection, I immediately wished I had chosen an easier one. Then, the more I began to add to it the more confidence arose!
At some point I just let the instructor guide me as I worked on my painting. She said, "You want to start with the lighter colors and work your way to the darker bolder colors." So I did. As we both began to lose ourselves in our projects, I started thinking about how similar our relationship was to what she had just said to me. Heres what I mean: When Meiko and I met, we danced around the fact that we liked each other. As we started spending more and more time together the color palette of our romance got bolder as we deepened into our ultimate call to wed ourselves to one another; bringing to life the masterpiece God had in mind when he created the canvas of our lives.
In the beginning God created, the best opening to a book ever! He created and then He said. After he said, he saw that it was good. And when He looked back at all he had done, He saw that it was very good. Much like Meiko and I as we stared at our finished products tonight.
The Lord created us in His image. Then he did this crazy thing and spoke purpose into us. He looked back and acknowledged that it was good and gave us authority to go and do the same. So I am not quite sure why I was so surprised at what my hands could do this evening.
I was quickly reminded that just as easy as it was to let the Artist teach me how to "art", it was meant to be twice as easy for me to just let my creator take over and teach me how to be like Him. That goes for my marriage as well. Meeks and I didn't share many words tonight. We did however share each others vulnerable space as we attempted to create like our father. I realized we share that vulnerable space everyday - our triumphs, our failures, our fears, our happy, our goofy, our disappointments, our "I knew you could do it", or "we'll get 'em next time", "I'm so proud of you", vulnerable spaces. What excites me most about the joy I felt this evening doing this new thing with my best friend, is how much more joy we will feel when we create a family together. Even greater is that it is backed up by the promises of the King.. and it's gonna be good!
What's the best thing you and your spouse have created together? In what moment did you realize you could create with that person forever? How has God created masterpiece moments in your marriage?

Demand forecasting is a well researched topic, and the most methods used in today's businesses are relatively new. Setting out goals on sales promotion in international or national business without having relevant knowledge is like jumping from a mountain without having a parachute in your hands. I often find that the first thing people ask me at a conference is the importance of demand forecasting for their companies. In this article I will point out 10 reasons why you need to consider it for your business.
1) Many businesses nowadays provide services and products to their clients without having a clear figure of their demand. Sometimes what they know about their consignments is the deadline they should meet, but missing a proper demand forecasting plan can lead them to not appropriately react to the changes. When a customer is unable to get the product or they want more than once, it can make them to choose the competitor's product.
2) Marketing gurus of your company may not perfectly promote your sales in case you do now know how much is necessary to produce. If you company overestimates demand, it has a risk of producing too much which can lead you to loss due to holding unsold items. But if it produces too little, there will be a loss of potential profits and your marketing team can not help you in this case too.
3) With the growing tends of globalization and wide range of items in the market coming with different shapes and sizes it is also important to track the demand for each product. The demand for small audio sets, touch-screen audio sets, Bluetooth-enabled audio sets should be considered separately keeping in mind all customers needs.
4) In business battles, especially in international businesses the future prices and costs are not always stable. Demand forecasting should be tied with all profit margins considering the prices and the costs of your production.
5) Changes in technology have contributed towards globalization. The improvements of technology make our lives much more convenient therefore the rules of the game are changing. There should be forecasting about technological change (TC) and its bear upon demand, costs and prices.
6) Besides these all, demand forecasting should be based upon changes in the external environment. As we know a business doesn't operate in a vacuum. It has to act and react to what happens outside the factory and office walls, and sometimes outside from national borders. With this in mind I want to close up with the 6th reason why it is fundamental for your company.

Senators to press Gina Haspel about her role in CIA torture program
CIA director nominee Gina Haspel will face tough questions from senators Wednesday about her role in the CIA's now-outlawed torture program. The focus of the Senate Intelligence Committee's confirmation hearing will be on Haspel's oversight in 2002 of a secret "black site" in Thailand where suspected terrorists were subjected to waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques. Haspel will likely also be grilled on her involvement in the destruction of CIA videotapes that showed prisoners being waterboarded. She's expected to promise that, if confirmed, she will oppose any efforts to revive the torture techniques used after the 9/11 terror attacks. Even if she does, it's not clear if she can win over a majority of senators for her confirmation vote.

The trip, Pompeo's second to North Korea this year, comes after last month's historic meeting between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. At that meeting, the two leaders pledged to work toward denuclearizing the peninsula. U.S. officials say Pompeo will also be pressing North Korea for the release of three detained American citizens, whose imminent release Trump has been hinting at.

This is just a quick note before I take leave for the weekend.
We've all heard that (Quality) Content and (Good) Links are two of the most important factors for your site to rank, especially in Google.
Here is a 3rd factor I'd like to emphasize. Most SEO specialists know this; yet often times leave this to the developer.
And that is the Page Speed.
What good are the contents and links (of your site) if every visitor ends up leaving the site because of a very slow page speed or very poor load time.
Page Speed is more likely as important as high-quality contents to keep your site's visitors as well as a page rank factor like good links.
Therefore, page speed is not just important for SEO; it is very important for your site's direct users/visitors.
You can test your page speed on Google Page Speed Insights.
Just a quick thought for my readers before we end this week.
Hopefully, I can write more on this subject in the future.
Here is a link on how to speed up your WordPress site.

A Superhero is coming...
A Superhero is coming!!!
And it might be you!
As you may know, I was recently privileged to speak at a youth camp about my upcoming single SUPERHERO, where I asked them what their definition of asuperhero was. The responses were great!
- Someone who puts others before themselves
- A brave person who always fights for what's right
- Someone who is kind and good
We've got some smart kids up in the DMV!!
My definition is someone who fights bigotry and hatred with love and compassion. Undoubtedly, in today's climate, you'll agree that this is something we need NOW more than ever! So I'm thrilled to be working with The Everyday Weekend on the upcoming music video for the re-recorded, mixed and mastered song SUPERHERO, which will make for quite the exciting video!
Especially as it'll be featuring this young thing!
So make sure you keep September 29th FREE for the official release of SUPERHERO in an exclusive show alongside JONNY GRAVE and UPTOWN BOYS CHOIR at - yes, you guessed it - DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS PIES!!
(Okay, I know you weren't actually thinking THAT was where the show was going to be, but I'm just saying... it's gonna be pretty epic!!)
Thanks, of course, to all of my patrons for helping with this music video! I couldn't do it without you!! You can join the team too - for as little as $1 - and if you sign up for $5 or more over the next ten days, you'll get a FREE SUPERHERO T-SHIRT!!!
Easy as that!
