These are the things I try not to do within an hour of going to bed: drink caffeine; eat sugar; use the Internet; fight with Caroline. To that list of late-evening prohibitions let me add a fifth—no reading articles by Walter Russell Mead. I made that mistake yesterday. His three-part series on restoring the American Dream set my mind racing and it wasn't until nearly 2am that I finally got the horses back in the barn. What follows is a brief recap of Mead's argument about how the American Dream is changing and some thoughts about how I see a new version of the American Dream playing out in my own life.
According to Mead the first iteration of the American Dream was the dream of the individual family farm. This was Thomas Jefferson's version of the American Dream. For two centuries the family farm was the organizing unit of American social and economic life; it defined how family members interacted with each other; it provided Americans with food, shelter and the material necessities of life; it was the backdrop against which people lived out the American version of the good life.
But the dream of the family farm began to founder in the late-19th century. Sweeping geopolitical forces were to blame: the best farm land was already taken meaning new generations of Americans had to settle for marginal tracts in places like Oklahoma that were never meant to sustain agriculture; and improvements in agricultural production led to a glut of corn and wheat, and thus lower prices for farmers when they brought their crops to market. The world changed, fast, and it left the family farm behind.
It took almost half-a-century for a new version of the American Dream to develop. There was a lot of political and cultural turmoil in the intervening years, just like there's a lot of political and cultural turmoil now. People feared that the end of family farming meant the end of the American way of life. But then a second version of the American Dream emerged, and it promised even greater prosperity and greater freedom than the family farm had before it. Mead calls this second version the dream of the "suburban homestead."
This is a dream that most of us recognize because it was vibrant in our lifetimes and has only recently begun to fade. It was the dream of Leave it to Beaver: Dad worked, mom stayed home, the kids went to school, and life was awash in inexpensive, mass-produced goods (canned vegetables! washing machines!) that made life freer and easier than it had ever been before.
But now the dream of the suburban homestead has begun to come apart. The forces unraveling it are as sweeping and unstoppable as the forces that sundered the dream of the family farm a century earlier. For one, the good land is all taken (the nicest suburbs have become astronomically expensive; Caroline laments that there's no way we could ever afford to buy a house in the suburban-DC neighborhood where she grew up). And for two, the jobs that supported the suburban dream on a national scale are disappearing—either outsourced overseas or automated out of existence. So if the suburban dream is dead, too, the question is—what takes its place?
Caroline and I have thought a lot about this over the last five years, though not on the grand scale that Mead thinks about. For us the question has been more personal, as we've tried to figure out what kind of lives we want for our family and ourselves. We've tried to use two principles to guide the big lifestyle choices we've had to make: We want control over our time and we want our lives to feel coherent. I'll talk about each of those in turn.
First—control over our own time. For me, this has meant freelancing instead of working for a company. In my twenties I had a few traditional jobs though none of them lasted very long. On a gut level I had a hard time swallowing the idea that someone else would tell me where I needed to be from 9am-6pm five days a week, or would dictate how many days I could take off to spend with my family around Christmas. I might have been willing to accept these constraints if I'd found work that I was incredibly excited to do, but I never did. And at the same time I'd been given enough opportunity in life to make it feasible for me to strike out on my own.
As is often the case the price of time has been money. I make a lot less than most graduates of the Harvard Class of 2003. The key realization for me, though, was that all the extra dollars I would have made if I'd become a lawyer were not worth the sacrifice in personal freedom I would have had to make to earn those dollars. And this, I think, is a calculation that rings true for many Americans who feel like they have enough money and enough stuff but not enough freedom in their daily lives to spend their time the way they want to. (Of course, there are also many Americans on the lower-end of the class scale for whom this doesn't ring true at all; contra Charles Murray, they'd eagerly trade time for the opportunity to work hard at a job that paid well.)
Second—coherence. One of the things I like least about the suburban ideal is the way it divides life into discrete roles and identities. Work and home are separate spheres. Men and women perform separate roles. Kids race from school to Cub Scouts to soccer practice. There is a whole lot of moving parts, but it's not necessarily the case that they all pull in the same direction or all reflect the same underlying values.
I don't like the idea of my "work" persona and my "home" persona being distinct. It feels discordant to me that I'd go off to a job and spend my whole day with one group of people, thinking and acting in one particular kind of way, and then I'd go home and be with a different group of people, thinking and acting in a different kind of way. I want the cohesiveness of feeling that all the parts of my life are integrated; I want the coherence of feeling like I'm completely and fully myself in every part of my day. (I guess you could say that, in a sense, what I'm after is a 21st-century version of the family farm.)
To some extent this prioritization of time and coherence is idiosyncratic; these values reflect my particular disposition and the particular family culture that Caroline and I have put together, and certainly the lives we've crafted for ourselves have only been possible because of the above-average rates of education and opportunity we've received. But at the same time it seems clear to me that our choices have been shaped by broader cultural currents; that they reflect a changing idea of what the American Dream looks like in practice.
It makes sense that each iteration of the American Dream would be shaped in response to the one that came before it. The suburban ideal was desirable in large part because it was not the family farm. Blue- and white-collar jobs freed people from having to toil on the land from dawn to dusk. The consumer products revolution freed people from having to provide every material necessity by their own hands. Safeguards like union jobs, pensions, Medicaid, Medicare—the whole social safety net extending from employers to the federal government—meant that families were no longer one false step away from calamity.
But progress had its price. Once you get past the surface warts of the suburban ideal (the McMansions, the SUVs, etc.) it seems clear to me that the real price of the suburban dream was paid in time and coherence. The coherent life of the family farm was broken into discrete suburban roles and identities that divided work from home and men from women; and the suburban economy instantiated all sorts of restrictions on how people spend their time: the time-clock, the 9-5, two weeks paid vacation, and (most banefully of all) the daily commute, which researchers routinely identify as the feature of modern life most anathema to personal happiness.
Last night I talked with Caroline about these ideas and when I got to the end she said, "So, what is it? What is the third American Dream?" I don't know, of course, and Mead says he doesn't know either. The suburban ideal would have been hard to imagine in 1890 and it's just as hard to picture what the iconic American lifestyle will look like sixty years from now.
But if I had to guess, I'd venture that the Third American Dream will be an urban dream—where physical proximity allows work life, home life, and social life to be more coherently integrated—and it will be an information technology dream that gives people more flexibility about when and where they work and more freedom in general about how they spend their time.

Four Republican Congressman from Texas have been named to Immigrants' List's annual immigration 'Hall of Shame.'
Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Louie Gohmert and Rep. Randy Weber were named to the list because they, along with others chosen, "have railed excessively against immigrants and immigration reform, despite evidence that reform would be a boon for the American economy. They have not just stopped at opposing reform but have distorted the truth and belittled immigrants," according to a press release from Immigrants' List, a pro-immigration political action committee.
"Our Hall of Shame seeks to expose these politicians as persons who deny the reality and the humanity of the 11 million undocumented immigrants who are part and parcel of the American fabric," said Ted Ruthizer, a member of the Immigrants' List Board of Directors and a past president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, in the press release.
Cornyn has said he is for immigration reform, though he voted against the Senate-passed immigration plan this summer.
A total of 11 members of Congress were included on the list.
"We at Immigrants' List call upon these people to get in step with the American people and pass broad-based immigration reform. Our country's well-being depends on it," Ruthizer said, according to the release.

Case-Mate has put up a page on their website making a lot of claims regarding the iPhone 5 and further rumored iPhone 4S. Case-Mate believes the iPhone 5 will be a complete redesign and not just another incarnation of the current iPhone 4. They claim it will feature a wider and thinner design, wireless charging, and an upgraded camera.
Given iOS 5 should only be a few weeks away I would think we would hear something officially any day now. In the mean time here's what Case-Mate thinks we are going to see concerning the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S, which is supposedly just an updated model with a similar form factor to the already existing iPhone 4. They believe both versions will be launched, not just one.
The new iPhone 5 will feature a completely different form factor than its predecessor. Wider and thinner, the redesigned device features an extended home button. The screen size could see an increase to 4 inches.
Also included in the iPhone 5 will be an A5 dual-core processor, similar to the one used in the iPad 2. It will also be equipped with an 8 mega-pixel camera, wireless charging and iOS 5, which features iCloud portable storage capabilities...
The debate continues on whether the new iPhone will be an iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S. From our inside resources, it appears that Apple will be indeed launching both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4S in early October. The iPhone 4S will feature the same form factor as the iPhone 4 but will be upgraded with the latest technology, including the A5 dual-core processor and 8 mega-pixel camera.
Case-Mate goes on and says that the iPhone 5 will be available in 16 and 32 GB offerings. I'm not quite sure I am confident Apple will release two different versions of the iPhone or continue with their normal tradition of lowering the price of the previous model and using it in place of an entry level model.
The new page also allows you to sign up for updates regarding iPhone 5 and 4S accessories. That seems a bit sketchy to me. Releasing more rumors seems like an awfully good way to get people to sign up for news about your accessories and future products. We would take this insider info with an enormous grain of salt.

From PLN to P-L-A-N for Moving our School ForwardRecently, I read a blog post by Steve Dembo asking, "Is joining a PLN bad for morale?" I was captivated by his examples of situations where educators got hyper-connected with a Personal Learning Network (PLN) online, which, in different circumstances led them to greener pastures.
I can certainly understand where this could happen. I've worked in schools that were not the best for my morale and I did move on, but I HAD to share in my comment to Steve that there is an example of another possibility. That example is my story:
In the Spring of 2007, I began reading a few blogs related to education. My favorite blog was by Rachel Boyd, a primary classroom teacher in New Zealand. I felt like by reading her blog, I was peeking inside what was happening in her classroom. I loved the idea, but didn't really think that I could do it until I saw a file Rachel had attached in the sidebar of her blog. It was titled "How to Start a Blog". Five minutes later, I was blogging! I couldn't believe how easy it was! I also noticed that several of the bloggers I followed were on something called twitter, so I joined to find out all about it. My personal PLN was born.
As the last few weeks of school rolled by before summer, I thought I'd offer to show anyone who was interested how to blog so I sent an email out to my colleagues. About 5 teachers met with me and started their blogs. So that handful of teachers and I blogged last school year. As the year went by we began talking about different ways to use blogs: class news, student work, coaching teachers, highlighting best practice and information dissemination. Other teachers became interested in starting blogs. My principal was very impressed with our work and started her own blog for the faculty. In retrospect, I think that was our turning point. I continued seeking out new ideas and learning about Web 2.0 tools through my PLN in blogs and on twitter.
This school year we kicked off the year with a new theme: Around the World in 180 Days, A Virtual Learning Adventure. The first commitment my principal made to technology was releasing me full time from the classroom to create a new position at our school, Instructional Technology Coach. We planned our first day back for teachers as a showcase for the possibilities for the year. My principal purchased the book Web 2.0 New Schools, New Tools for the entire faculty as well as a wristband flash drive. I contacted a member of my PLN, Jeff Utecht, to ask if he would mind skyping in to our first day session to speak a few minutes about why technology was so important to harness for our students. I watched my faculty coworkers look at the big screen in awe as this charismatic educator spoke to them from late in the evening in Manilla about how technology connects us all. It was a day full of fun, learning and new ideas. We were reborn as a faculty.
Where are we now, in the last half of the year? We have over 50 blogs on our faculty. (Which can be found on our website) My principal blogs, our instructional coaches blog, we have a blog for new teachers, grade level teams blogging, resource teacher blogs, many classroom blogs, school mascot blog, a conference blog and a teacher recognition blog. It's a blog BONANZA! Teachers are also using wikis to share their work.
How does this all pertain to my PLN and the PLN of some of my colleagues? Almost EVERYTHING we learned to do was due to our PLN. We techno-evangelized and the work is being embraced on our faculty. Now I realize that this is not the case for many, but I think it sends an important message that CHANGE IS POSSIBLE!
I am still hyper-connected. I power up at work in the morning and spend my 15 - 20 minutes on twitter, checking replies from the night before, joining in on conversations of the day and adding what is going on in my work. This week alone I learned how to record a skype call and learned some more about copyright. Not many are ready to join me on that journey, but my PLN turned me on to Facebook where I have begun connecting with over 35 faculty members there already! That's what I love about being connected with so many educators, there is always a new idea, always something new to learn and always someone to support you as you try to build a PLN for your workplace.
That's my story, what's yours?

Seeing the progress and evolution of the Escapade & Highlander to the Super Stol, and now to the Super Stol XL, I'm wondering how long it will be before we see the 1st highlander with a Titan 180 hp engine in it?
Yeah, I know they extended the fuselage on the Super Stol to make things work out better. But I'm sure if there's a will, there's a way to shoehorn a 180 hp Titan into a nice lightweight Highlander, making a little firebreathing Rocketship that would make more than a few take notice wherever it showed up.
Anyone been having those thoughts? Just curious...

LOS ANGELES -An Amber Alert was issued today as the search continued for a woman and her two children, whom she allegedly abducted from the home where they were living in their grandmother's custody.
The two asthmatic children, a 9-year-old girl and her 8-year-old brother, were taken from the home in the 1700 block of West 35th Place around 3 p.m. Monday, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Jane Kim.
They were reported missing by their grandmother — the suspect's mother – – around 10 a.m. Tuesday and were last seen at 4:15 p.m. that day in the Northridge area, Kim said.
Ameenah Rasheedah Freeman, 37, may be driving a maroon 2011 Ford Edge with paper plates with "Airport Marina" written on them, the LAPD reported.
The Amber Alert was activated by the California Highway Patrol for Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino and Imperial counties. However, the wireless emergency alert and the changeable message signs along freeways were not being activated because there is no license plate number for the vehicle, according to the CHP.
Police said Freeman went to her mother's house Wednesday night without the children and appeared to be "disoriented." Someone called 911, and Freeman left before police arrived.
Adoniah Freeman, 9, is black, 4 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 97 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink dress with white flowers.
Emanuel Freeman, 8, is black, 4 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 94 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black "Mario Brothers" T-shirt, black shorts with white stripes and black sandals.
Ameenah Freeman, is black, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs around 160 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black dress with black sandals.
Kim said it was not known why Freeman did not have custody of her children.
Anyone seeing the woman or the children was urged to call 911. Anyone with information on the case was urged to contact Detective D. Johnson of the LAPD's Southwest Station at (213) 485-6571, or through LAPDonline by clicking on "webtips" and following the prompts.

Kyle Tognazzini made a name for himself at Lipscomb as an outstanding pitcher. But, after graduation with a B.A. degree in Oral Communications and a minor in Journalism in 2009, he returned to his native California where he works in various capacities with the sport of soccer. He was in Nashville last week with his wife, Alyssa, to attend the wedding of former Lipscomb golfer John Higgins and took a few minutes to talk with Lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played during the seasons of 2008 and 2009. I transferred from Cuesta Community College. My coach was Jeff Forehand."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"Beating Georgia in the 2008 NCAA Regionals in the first round in Athens. They gave me a save in that game. Georgia eventually went on to be the runner-up to the national championship.
"That was a new experience for me. Even in high school and junior college I had never pitched in a playoff game. There were 5,000 people barking at you because they are Georgia Bulldogs fans. No one was on my side except the few hundred people from Lipscomb. It was kind of one big blur. All I could hear was loud noises."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Brian Ryman had a big impact. The reason I was here was because I played for him in summer baseball between my freshman and sophomore years of junior college. The team was the Nashville Navigators. We played our home games here at Lipscomb. That is how I heard about the school. I was following a dream to come here and play baseball.
"But Coach Forehand would probably be the person who had the biggest influence on me. He develops you not only on the field, but off of the field as well. He is a good person. He shows you that baseball is not everything. He stresses importance of treating other people the right way and just living your life the right way."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"Developing relationships with my friends in the Communications department. I am still close friends with many of them.
"I got to broadcast the women's volleyball games on A-Sun TV and that was really fun. I had a great time with Dr. Mac (Jimmy McCollum) and Dr. (Ray) Harris."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"The camaraderie of the people. It is great that it is so close-knit.
"It challenges you academically and athletically. It challenges your faith. It strengthens your faith. I really found my faith here at Lipscomb. I am so thankful for my time here and for everyone who helped me develop my relationship with God and Jesus. It was a great experience."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I always really enjoyed classes with Dr. Mac and how he really challenged me. His classes were entertaining, yet they were also challenging. It wasn't miserable to go and do the work in his classes. It was fun and you enjoyed the work you had to put in to earn your grade."
Where do you live now?
"Paso Robles, Calif. We just closed on a house last Monday."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I work for a non-profit youth organization called "Kids Love Soccer". I am the regional manager from Paso Robles to Santa Barbara, Calif. I oversee the youth soccer programs in seven or eight cities.
"I coach five days a week for teams with kids ages 2 to 10. I also oversee a group of coaches with scheduling, marketing and advertising throughout central California."
Tell us about your family.
"My wife's name is Alyssa. We got married last June 16. We had a bunch of people from Lipscomb that attended. That was nice to see.
"Alyssa is a third grade teacher. We both work with kids. We really enjoy it.
"I love influencing the kids. I have been playing sports my whole life. And one of the biggest influences in the life of kids, other than family, can be a sports coach. It was for me. It is cool to see it circle back in my life now."
Kyle's e-mail address is email@example.com.

With help from her family, 8-year-old Sadie Lange set up a lemonade stand in front of her house Saturday and raised $602.36 for people living in Orissa, India who are in need clean water.
"Clean water is important because people can get really sick if they don't have it," Sadie said.
Her father, Jeremiah Lange, said Sadie served approximately 65 cups of lemonade to patrons who donated various amounts. Sadie also provided information about Charity: Water's September campaign.
Sadie had two five-gallon "jerry cans" onsite — one empty and one full of water — to demonstrated how people in Orissa transport water to-and-from their homes.
"Women usually carry the jerry cans strapped to their backs or on their heads," her mother, Danielle Lange said. "They often walk a couple miles just to get water that is usually not clean."
Sadie has set up lemonade stands the past two years.
The first year proceeds she raised went to help buy a drilling rig. Last year what she earned helped get clean water for Rwanda. This year the money she made will support the mission of Gram Vikas in India.
"$450 provides one family with three clean water taps," Jeremiah Lange said. "They get a toilet, shower, and a kitchen sink."
Including Saturday's earnings, Sadie has raised a total of $2,685 in donations. She is only $465 away from reaching her $3,150 goal to bring clean water to seven families.

Dr. Chuck Green, who is a professor of psychology and director of the Philip Phelps Scholars Program at Hope College, has been chosen to receive the 15th annual "Faculty Appreciation Award" presented by the student body.
Green will receive the award on Saturday, Oct. 23, during halftime of the college's Homecoming football game at Holland Municipal Stadium.
Recipients of the award are chosen through a vote open to the entire student body and conducted at the same time as elections for the Homecoming court and king and queen. The students are not provided with a list of candidates for the award, but rather are asked to write in the name of the person that they feel should be honored. The award was first presented in 1996.
It is the second time that the college's students have selected Green for the honor. He also received the award in 2006.
Green has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1983, and has directed the Phelps Scholars Program since 1998. The Phelps Scholars Program is an academic program for first-year students interested in learning about issues of race and culture. They take one course together each semester, live in the same residence hall, participate in discussions and workshops, take part in service projects and engage in various social activities. The program has grown from 39 students during the 1999-2000 school year to 90 students this year.
His active involvement in the college's academic program has included service in the past as director of the educational assessment program, as co-coordinator of the general education program, as director of the First-Year Seminar program, as director of the CarlFrostCenter for Social Science Research and chairing the committee concerned with restructuring the college's core curriculum in the mid-1990s. He also delivered the college's Opening Convocation address in 1999.
Among other community involvement through the years, he has worked with the Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance (LEDA) in a variety of ways, including as a member of the planning committee for several Lakeshore Region Summits on Racism, including the first in 2001. He was also on the planning committee for the Holland Pow Wow for five years, and is actively involved in his church, New Community Fourth Reformed Church.
Green received a Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) Faculty/Staff Community Service-Learning Award in February 2005. In January 2003 received a "Provost's Award for Service to the Academic Program" from Hope, and in May 2006 he received the college's seventh annual "Vanderbush-Weller Development Fund" award for strong, positive impact on students.
He is a 1978 graduate of Trevecca College, and completed his master's and doctorate at the University of Florida in 1980 and 1983 respectively. His wife, Fonda, is executive director of the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program at Hope. They have three children: Aaron, who graduated from Hope in 2008; Adam, who graduated from Hope in 2010; and Hannah, a Hope senior.

Statement of Susan M. Daniels, Ph.D.,
Associate Commissioner, Office of Disability, Social Security Administration
before the House Ways and Means Committee
Subcommittee on Social Security
September 25, 1997
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for inviting me here today to testify about the success of SSA's efforts to protect the integrity of the Social Security disability program. As you know, continuing disability reviews (CDRs) are how we ensure that only people who are still disabled continue to receive monthly benefits. Effective stewardship of the Social Security trust funds is one of SSA's highest priorities. Toward that end, we processed roughly half a million CDRs in FY 1996, with estimated lifetime savings (including Medicare and Medicaid) of nearly $2.5 billion.
I also appreciate this opportunity to thank each of you personally for authorizing last year the additional funding for processing CDRs that has allowed us to achieve such significant progress. Achieving this additional funding was the work of both the authorizing and appropriating committees, and had the full support of the Administration. At the same time, SSA was required to submit an annual report to Congress at the end of each fiscal year through FY 2002 on the amount spent on CDRs, the number of reviews conducted, their results, and the estimated savings. We submitted the report for FY 1996 to Congress two weeks ago.
The Social Security Act generally requires SSA to review the continuing eligibility of individuals with non-permanent disabilities entitled to Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) benefits at least once every 3 years. It also requires SSA to review the continuing eligibility of such individuals with permanent disabilities at such times as the Commissioner determines to be appropriate. Together, these reviews are known as periodic CDRs. We also conduct CDRs when there has been an indication that the individual has returned to work, some of which require a full medical review, some of which do not.
Beginning in 1990. SSA faced unprecedented increases in initial disability claim s workloads, resulting, not surprisingly, in a substantial number of overdue CDRs. Even though the number of periodic CDRs processed each year increased from 48,000 in FY 1993 to 217,200 in FY 1995. SSA recognized that it could not conduct the required CDRs without additional resources. In 1996. Congress authorized administrative funding to enable SSA to process additional CDRs through FY 2002 and provide d that the discretionary spending caps could be adjusted for appropriations above a base funding level of $200 million a year. Congress appropriated $260 million for FY 1996 for SSA to process CDRs, including a $60 million discretionary cap adjustment. For FY 1997, Congress appropriated $510 million for CDRs, including a $310 million adjustment to the discretionary cap to process CDRs, including SSI CDRs and redeterminations related to the welfare reform legislation. These funds are apportioned separately by the Office of Management and Budget and tracked separately by SSA's accounting systems.
Beginning in 1993, SSA implemented a series of innovations to increase the number of CDRs
processed. The primary innovation in this area was the CDR mailer questionnaire and profiling
system. now beginning its sixth year of operation. It is an efficient and cost-effective means for
accurately identifying beneficiaries who do not require full medical reviews in the Disability
Determination Services (DDSs), as well as identifying those cases that arc productive referrals
for full medical reviews.
During FY 1996, we implemented further enhancements to the mailer/profiling system. Specifically. we automated the process further by using optically scannable mailers and computer-based decision logic, an important step as SSA prepares to begin annually processing more than three-quarters of a million mailers. Additionally, through experience, we continue to improve our ability to profile cases. We expect that these improved processes will increase our efficiency, program savings, and our ability to accurately process even larger volumes of CDRs. CDRs have always generated program savings well above administrative cost. Under our improved process in FY 1996, program savings were far in excess of administrative costs. We expect to receive similar returns over the lifetime of the authorized additional funding by continuing to work toward our goal of processing CDRs in the most cost-effective manner consistent with program requirements.
During FY 1996, S5A processed a total of 566,000 CDRs, of which 162,900 were for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. Out of the 566,000 total, 498,400 were periodic CDRs and 67,600 were work issue CDRs. The FY 1996 total was nearly double the number of CDRs conducted during the previous fiscal year, and the second largest annual volume of periodic CDRs that SSA has ever processed. During FY 1996, SSA made initial determinations that benefits should be ceased due to medical improvement and the ability to work in 60,300 cases. Of these, 41,910 were cessations resulting from periodic CDRs, 18,622 were DI only cases, 6,253 were concurrent DI/SSI cases, and 17,035 were SSI only. Out of these, we estimate that 26,500 beneficiaries will have their benefits terminated after all appeals: 10,500 DI only, 4,000 concurrent, and 12,000 SSI only. This represents life-time savings of nearly $2.5 billion - over $1.7 billion in the DI and Medicare programs and over $700 million in Federal savings for the SSI and Medicaid programs.
The Social Security Act was amended in 1994 to require S5A to perform CDRs for a minimum of 100,000 SSI recipients during each of fiscal years 1996, 1997, and 1998.
Additionally , last year's welfare reform legislation requires SSA to make redeterminations of disabled childhood SSI recipients who attain age 18, using the adult disability eligibility criteria, and to conduct CDRs once every 3 years for SSI recipients under age 18 with impairments that are likely to improve, and by age 1 for children whose low birth weight is a contributing factor material to the determination of disability. This year's Balanced Budget Act permits us to schedule a CDR for a low birth weight child at a later date if the child's impairment is not expected to improve by age 1.
During FY 1996, we confirmed the effectiveness of the profile/mailer system for SSI cases and conducted 162,900 SSI CDRs. These reviews included 5,700 initial determinations made for low birth weight children, of which 3,200 were cessations.
SSA's budget projected spending of about $288 million in FY 1997 to process 603,000 periodic review CDRs, including about 151,000 SSI cases. Through August 1997, we have processed nearly 636,000 periodic review CDRs. By the end of the fiscal year, we expect to have processed at least 650,000, at a cost of about $315 million, plus another 74,000 work issue CDRs.
For FY 1998, SSA's budget projects that we will spend about $366 million to process over 1.1 million periodic CDRs-almost double the number of CDRs in FY 1997 at far less than double the cost. Our improved mailer/profiling system provides a high level of confidence in both our ability to achieve our estimated workload targets and in the accuracy and reliability of the decision resulting from our case reviews. Also, in FY 1998, we will begin processing CDRs for SSI recipients under age 18 whose impairments are likely to improve. These cases will allow us to develop a database to profile children's cases for CDR mailers.
Our achievements in processing CDRs over the last two years demonstrate Congress' and the Administration's commitment to addressing this crucial workload. Discretionary cap adjustments for additional funds have been authorized to enable SSA to eliminate the backlog of CDRs by FY 2002, while staying current with annual review requirements.
However, further congressional action is necessary each year to make additional CDR funding available. If Congress appropriates additional funds, as requested each year, we expect to become current with our legislatively mandated CDR workloads. In that regard, the House version of the FY 1998 SSA appropriation, expected to be considered by a Conference Committee next week, provided $45 million dollars less than the President requested to process CDRs and SSI administrative work related to the welfare reform legislation. The Senate version of this bill includes the full amount of the President's request. Failure to provide the additional funds would mean that some 15 percent fewer individuals would have their status reviewed in FY 1998. We would strongly urge the Conference to provide the additional $45 million consistent with Senate action.
Mr. Chairman, we are proud of our recent accomplishments and are confident that our CDR strategy will lead to reliable and cost-effective monitoring of the disability rolls. I thank you for your attention and would be happy to answer any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pregnancy
- Is it safe to dye my hair while pregnant?
- Can I continue to drink coffee or tea?
- Is it okay to use my computer?
- Which foods should I avoid when I'm expecting?
- Should I continue to exercise?
- Is smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy really that bad?
- I eat healthy, so should I still take prenatal vitamins?
- Can having sex hurt the baby?
- Can I travel on a plane while I am pregnant?
- Would going through a metal detector injure my baby?
Is it safe to dye my hair while pregnant?
There are conflicting reports about the safety of hair dye during pregnancy: Several studies found no ill effects on pregnant rodents given 100 times the typical human dose of these products, whereas British researchers reported chromosome damage among women who dyed their hair. Although this study was not conducted on pregnant women, this finding suggests that there may be some risk to coloring your hair while pregnant.
As a precaution, some physicians advise you to avoid hair color until after your first trimester (the period when your baby's vital organs, head, body and limbs form). Colorants made from vegetable dyes such as henna are preferable to the chemical dyes used in permanent and semi-permanent formulas. Recent studies indicate that hair dyes contain relatively high levels of bio-available lead acetate that can be harmful to the fetus, particularly the nervous system and brain. Check the product label and avoid lead based hair products.
Can I continue to drink coffee or tea?
There is no evidence that regular amounts of caffeinated beverages, such as tea, coffee or colas, cause birth defects, but some studies indicate that heavy use of these beverages may be associated with a slight increase in your risk of miscarriage in the first and second trimesters. In a study by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development the researchers found no harm in drinking up to three cups of coffee a day, but most experts advise limiting consumption to no more than two caffeinated beverages a day, or switching to decaf. Tea and colas have less caffeine than coffee does, and are also available in decaffeinated formulas.
Is it okay to use my computer?
Several recent large recent studies have found no link between the electromagnetic radiation from a video display terminal (VDT) and an increased risk of miscarriage. To be on the safe side, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises sitting at least 18 inches away from your computer to minimize potential exposure.
Which foods should I avoid when I'm expecting?
To protect your baby (and yourself) from potentially harmful bacteria and parasites, many doctors advise women to abstain from undercooked or raw meat, eggs and fish (including sushi and steak tartar), and unpasteurized goat or cow's milk. Rare or raw meat can harbor the microorganisms that cause toxoplasmosis–an illness that can cause birth defects, illness or death of the baby.
Fish is an important part of a healthy diet. However, women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are nursing should not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish. These fish contain high amounts of a form of mercury that may harm an unborn child's or baby's brain or nervous system. Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant can safely eat 12 ounces of other types of cooked fish each week. It is important to eat a variety of other fish, such as shellfish, canned fish, smaller ocean fish, or farm-raised fish. Pregnant women also should limit the amount of freshwater fish caught by family and friends to one serving each week. A serving size of fish is about 3–6 ounces.
Should I continue to exercise?
It is safe to exercise in moderation, unless you are advised not to by your obstetrician. For more complete guidelines, see our section on Exercise and Pregnancy.
Is smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy really that bad?
Not only can smoking put you and your baby at increased risk of complications such as placenta previa, premature birth or low birth weight, but even second-hand smoking (inhaling fumes from someone else's cigarette) can be risky. The developing fetus needs oxygen to develop. Many of the compounds found in cigarette smoke binds more strongly to red blood cells than oxygen and therefore deprive the fetus of needed oxygen. This is a good reason to make a "No Smoking" rule in your home and to avoid the smoking sections of restaurants or other public places. It has also been shown that babies exposed to smoke or raised in homes of smokers have an increased incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome ("crib death")
There is no scientific research that establishes a safe level of drinking during pregnancy. The Surgeon General recommends that pregnant women abstain from alcohol, which is known to increase the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and fetal alcohol syndrome (a pattern of serious birth defects, including mental impairment, learning disabilities and other deformities).
I eat healthy, so should I still take prenatal vitamins?
If you eat a balanced diet, you may not need a vitamin supplement during pregnancy. The most important elements are iron and folic acid. Iron is needed because during pregnancy, the mother's blood volume is expanding to deliver adequate blood flow to the fetus. In addition to increasing the blood volume, the numbers of red blood cells also increase. Iron is needed for creating red blood cells. A lack of iron could lead to anemia.
Folic acid is used in the development of the spinal column. A lack of folic acid increases the incidence of spinal cord defects like spina bifida. Supplementation of folic acid decreases the incidence of spinal cord defects by at least 60%. The effects are best if folic acid is taken even before pregnancy occurs.
Can having sex hurt the baby?
Unless your pregnancy is classified as high risk, or your obstetrician cautions against intercourse, you and your partner can enjoy each other physically without fear of harming your baby, who is well cushioned inside the uterus. For most women, there is no medical reason not to have sex as often as you wish.
Can I travel on a plane while I am pregnant?
Airline regulations do not permit women who are more than 36 weeks pregnant to travel by plane without a doctor's note, but there is usually no reason you cannot fly earlier in your pregnancy. The biggest risk when traveling is the development of a blood clot in the legs. Two things in pregnancy pooling of blood in the legs and increased clotting factors in the blood- increase the risk of forming a blood clot in the leg. When you are sitting in a confined space for long periods of time, like in an airplane or long car ride, you further slow the blood flow thereby further increasing the risk of a blood clot. To reduce your chances, get up several times during the ride to stretch your legs. You can also stretch the calf muscles by doing isometric calf exercises in your seat. With your toes on the ground, lift your heels up and down in repetition. Because you may need medical assistance in the town you are traveling to, ask your OB/GYN to help you locate an obstetrician in the city you will be visiting. You may also want to take your medical records with you.
Would going through a metal detector injure my baby?
Airport or other metal detectors do not emit any harmful radiation and will not hurt you or your baby. If you are still concerned about going through these machines, one possibility is to request that you be hand searched by a female security officer instead.

Naturopathic Medicine: Menopause
Emily Kane ND
I'm 50 and starting the "change of life." I'm very upset that I can't make a decision about whether or not to take hormones. If I don't take hormones maybe my bones will all shatter. But if I do take hormones maybe I'll get uterine cancer. So maybe I should get a hysterectomy. But I could still get breast cancer. Help!
These days, the post-menopausal phase may well be the longest of women's increasingly longer lives. They may well live another 50 years without menstruating. Which is, of course, why estrogen replacement therapy, breast and uterine cancer, osteoporosis and the spectre of fractured hips are all enormously important topics about which every woman must make decisions.
There are 3 types of estrogen:
Estrone is the most carcinogenic form of estrogen; it increases at menopause. It is formed mainly in the adrenals and ovaries. It is difficult for the liver to break it down.
Estradiol is the most active form of estrogen; it's what the patches and Premarin are made from. Oral Estradiol (i.e. Premarin) turns into Estrone in the small intestine. Estradiol is secreted by the ovaries. The body recognizes and metabolizes it easily.
Estriol is the least active form of estrogen; current research suggests it may be ANTI-carcinogenic. This is the form of estrogen used in Europe and China for menopausal hormone replacement. Two to 4 mg of estriol is equivalent to the minimal dose of estrone - 0.6 to 1.25 - the dose taken by most women on ERT. (Currently most women deciding about hormone replacement therapy are making choices that include progesterone; the therapy is now known as HRT.) Estriol is formed in the liver.
The task of the wild and lively crone is to prevent degenerative disease, reduce the risk of cancer as much as is known how, continue to take care of skin, exercise and sleep regularly, maintain good functional bowel habits, plus two additional and critically important categories. These are cardio vascular protection (heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women) and maintenance of bone density. These issues will be briefly discussed here one by one.
First, some MYTHS about Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT):
- prevents aging of the skin
- prevents bladder or urinary problems
- relieves depression or other psychological symptoms
- increases sexual desire
- prevents heart disease
Some doctors recommend estrogen for all women (except those with a history of breast or cervical cancer, or heart attack, stroke, liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding) at menopause, to continue for the rest of their lives. Routine use of these powerful and potentially dangerous hormones on healthy women is often unwarranted.
In general, ERT should only be used by women who have had their uterus removed. Estrogen does play a role in preventing osteoporosis -- a thinning of the bones that can lead to fractures of the vertebrae and hips in later life. Estrogen may also be effective in preventing heart disease, which is more prevalent in women who have early menopause. Its usefulness for healthy women who have gone through a normal menopause is unclear. Young women take note: Prolonged use of the "pill" (low dose estrogen/progesterone for birth control) will likely increase a physiologic need for estrogen later in life. This is because the organs which naturally produce female hormones (primarily the ovaries, but also the adrenal glands, and the liver which synthesizes and breaks them down) will atrophy and become less functional when an outside source of hormones is taken. Explore other ways to control fertility or menstrual irregularity, please.
What is clear is that estrogen causes cancer of the uterus - 5 to 14 times as often in women who take it as in women who don't. It is also strongly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. When taken with progestins, the increased risk of uterine cancer is canceled out. However, the addition of progestins to estrogen for HRT may raise the breast cancer risk even further. It may also cancel out estrogen's protection against heart disease -- or it may even increase that risk. Current research suggests that progestins alone, especially non-synthetic creams based on the Mexican wild yam, Dioscorea, may be more effective than estrogen in reducing the risk of osteoporosis, without the increased risk of uterine or breast cancer. More research is needed here.
Women who are plagued by hot flashes can benefit from short term use (maximum of two years) of HRT, tapered off very slowly. Suddenly stopping therapy will cause a return of the hot flashes. Women who suffer from vaginal dryness, who do not respond to increased Vitamin E and essential fatty acids (such as Flax oil), can use estrogen, applied directly in cream form. It should be used only as often as necessary to correct the condition.
Bottom line based on what we know today: Women who are not at high risk for osteoporosis need not expose themselves to the unknown risks of long term HRT.
Risk Factors For Osteoporosis:
family history of osteoporosis or hip fractures
ovaries removed especially before age 40
no full-term pregnancies
small-boned, thin Caucasian or Asian women
fair-skinned women
sedentary lifestyle
drinking more than moderately
diet high in salt, animal protein, caffeine, soft drinks
diet low in calcium and vitamin D
hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, gastrectomy, long-term use of steroids, glucocorticoids, anticonvulsants or antacids
The best way to maintain healthy bones may include some form of
progesterone, and possibly estrogen replacement, either by synthetic hormones or plant medicines to potentiate the adrenals and maintain ovarian function. Other than progesterone and estrogen, healthy bones need weight-bearing exercise regularly. The very best kind is brisk walking, 1-4 miles daily depending on stamina. The reason weight-bearing exercise is so important in maintaining bone density is because the molecular components of the bone float on and off continuously creating an electrical current which renders the bone not only a structural support, but an electromagnetic sensing system for the body. Appropriate physical stress increases bone formation.
There are, in addition, a number of nutrients which comprise the ingredients for healthy bones, which should be taken as supplements. These include, of course, Calcium -- about 500 mg daily, preferably in the gluconate or carbonate form, and Magnesium (oxide) in an equal amount. Calcium absorption requires sufficient gastric HCl. Calcium and Magnesium are best taken at night, as they are smooth muscle relaxants. Vitamin D is also important for keeping bones hard (not brittle) especially for people who don't live in sunny climes. Boron is a critical trace mineral as is hydroxy appatite (responsible for the crystalline formation in long bones). Make sure to ingest sufficient protein and avoid phosphates (soda pop - use fresh juices instead). Barbitruates and steroids (such as Prednisone) inhibit calcium and Vitamin D absorption. Herbal bone protectors include Red Clover flowers, Marshmallow root, and Horsetail reeds.
Heart disease is another complex topic, including congestive heart
disease, angina, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction. There can be different problems with the valves of the heart, or the electrical conduction system, or the blood supply to and from the heart, or the pumping action of the four muscular chambers. In general it is crucial to avoid substances and conditions which are toxic to the heart. These include hard alcohol (any amount), excess weight, tobacco, uncontrolled infections and unrelenting stress. Nutrients which support optimal cardiac function include the amino acids Carnitine and Taurine (2 g daily), the enzyme CoQ10, vitamins C, E, B1, B3 and B6, elemental Magnesium (1 gm daily) and the botanicals Hawthorn berry (Crataegus oxycantha), Gingko biloba leaf, Cactus (whole plant) and Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis).
Please note that each person is completely individual and the best approach to optimal health by route of a clean diet and wisely chosen supplements is to start a relationship with a trusted licensed primary health care provider. Many medical doctors are under-educated in the field of nutrition and nutritional supplements. Finding and maintaining optimal health is a life-long commitment. Stay flexible and keep up with the news.
I urge you to join the National Women's Health Network to help monitor research and bring accurate information to all women.

Great point Mike:
"Web designers need to understand the differences between functional design and aesthetic design but, even more importantly, they need to know how to make them work together. It's combining these elements of design successfully that makes for the best web design in the world."
Yes, functionality comes first and everything should be built around the content. If this is done successfully, then any style (read: fart) will make sense. As long as 'content is king', style and aesthetics are ephemeral elements and rely on pure taste of any given moment, which I'm not suggesting are not an important part of the equation.
Thanks for sharing Mike.

The route starts and ends at the city's Midnight Mission, a shelter with a focus on recovery and self-sufficiency, which currently houses hundreds eager to start anew (many of them recent parolees). Once the run ends, Mitchell heads to court, where he slips on a black robe for his role as a Superior Court Judge for Los Angeles County.
"It is obviously unusual," Mitchell tells me. "Some of my colleagues look at me and sort of scratch their head. A lot of judges like to keep a very distinct distance between themselves and the people they deal with in a professional capacity. But that's not who I am."
Aged 62, and the founder of the Skid Row Running Club, Mitchell bears the heavy stoop of a runner of two decades, but the lean physique of a man half his age.Patagonia Women's Better Sweater Quarter 1 4-Zip Fleece Shadow bluee,.
After 17 years of teaching at a Catholic high school in Los Angeles, Mitchell enrolled in night classes at a local law school. He flexed his legal muscles as a criminal prosecutor in the 1990's, before being elected to serve as a judge in 2005. He quickly became known locally as a judge with surprising amounts of empathy for those in his court, staying in contact with many of the men and women he sentenced to jail.
Spotting Mitchell's empathy was Roderick Brown, a parolee who Mitchell had sentenced in the late 2000's, who came to him shortly after he was released. Paroled into the care of the Mission, Brown invited Mitchell to one of his sobriety classes to participate in his recovery. While there, Mitchell was asked to contribute ideas for aiding the recovery of more of the Mission's residents. That's when the running club was born.
What began as an early-morning ritual for five or six of the residents quickly blossomed into a recovery programme in and of itself.Helmut Land Marbled Viscose Red Sweater L Size,.

"People who are addicts, who are homeless, who have criminal histories – they're not proud of where their life has gone," he explains. "They've often been rejected by family, relationships have collapsed, employers don't want anything to do with them – so they don't feel too good about themselves.NWT Free People 'In The Loop' Open Front Cardigan Retail 148,."
"For so many of the people who are on Skid Row, it's been a long time since they've had some significant successes in their life. So then to work in a programme that trains them to get ready to run 26.2 miles and then to do that as a collective, where you've got a lot of people who care about you or are rooting you on – that is a phenomenal feeling."
Mitchell and his running club are now the subjects of a new documentary, Skid Row Marathon, which follows the journeys of several of the Mission's residents, along with Mitchell's own work alongside it.
VERONICA BEARD Market Merino Wool Tank Ivory L NWT 295,. Mitchell says that he agrees with his wife's assessment.
"Much of what I have to do in the courtroom setting is punitive in nature," he explains. "And what I do in the running club is restorative. It's encouragement, it's constructive."

Mitchell credits his empathy to his late mother, a politically-minded woman who succumbed to a terminal illness when Mitchell was 10 years old.SOIA & KYO Beige Cardigan, Size L,.
"We came essentially from a Roman Catholic and Presbyterian combination [family], but she made sure we went to Mosques, we went to Jewish Synagogues," he remembers. "We tried to experience the diversity of Los Angeles. It was all part of her plan, to condense what normally would have been 18/20 years of parenting into a very brief period of time."
Today, both Mitchell and the Mission help finance the running club, paying for kit and overseas trips themselves. They're joined by public donations and investment from Los Angeles professionals, including business owners, lawyers and executives, who also join in with the runs. The Mission assists further with helping find employment, housing and educational opportunities for those recovering within their walls.

"We're a running club, and that is sort of the hook and what we do together, but on a much more important level it is a community," Mitchell says. "It's a group of folks that on any given day can break off into smaller groups. Friendships form – it's the network that collapses often times when a person becomes a captive of their addiction. So to rekindle that and rebuild that structure within a person's life is necessary if one is going to get off the street."
Thanks in part to the documentary, Mitchell says that he now regularly receives calls from charities and 12-step programmes in other US states enquiring about setting up their own running clubs. He also speaks highly of the Manchester and London-based organisation Ladies Button Down Chenille Cardigan Sweater New Small Medium Large Cream Grey,, which provides fitness programmes and kit for homeless and disadvantaged youth between the ages of 16 and 24.
As for his group's own work, they're about to hold a meeting to decide what country they want to travel to next. Since 2013, the Skid Row Running Club has participated in several overseas marathons, from Ghana to Rome to Vietnam. Their last marathon, held in Jerusalem, saw 44 runners from the Mission taking part, and Mitchell hopes the next journey will involve even more.
"As soon as we got back from Jerusalem, [everyone was asking] 'Where are we going next year?'" he says. "It's a powerful incentive to keep these guys on the straight and narrow.Loungedress Sweaters 486570 Pink,
But that's next week's agenda. Right now, Mitchell's mind is elsewhere. The morning of our phone call, Mitchell met a young man named Joshua while at the Mission, and knows exactly how to help him.
"He wants to join the running club, so I'm gonna get him a pair of shoes and I'm going to have those shoes ready for him on Monday."
Judge Craig Mitchell completed his 74th Marathon at the first London Marathon of his running career on behalf of The Skid Row Running Club, The Big Issue and The Running Charity. Donations can be made at on the official GoFundMe.

When he was 16, Nick Scott was in a near-fatal car accident. He was left paralyzed from the waist down. Nonetheless, Scott, now 30, is also known in certain circles—namely, the wheelchair bodybuilding world, a universe in which his is perhaps the most recognizable face—as "The Beast." The Beast isn't sure of his bench press limit, only because he hasn't yet stopped reaching for more weight. The metaphor's an obvious one, but true: "If you want something bad enough, nothings gonna stop you from not getting it," he has said.
And The Beast wants to spread the word: he was instrumental in the creation of the first-ever competition for certified International Federation of BodyBuilders (IFBB) Pro Wheelchair Bodybuilders, which was held last fall. The 2012 IFBB Pro Wheelchair championships took place Oct. 13 in Houston, an event open only to Scott and the dozen other men who have qualified as pros. Harold Kelley was named the winner in 2011 and 2012.
Photographer Lauren Fleishman has been documenting the sport for over a year, including that first competition. She first heard about wheelchair bodybuilding via a phone call from her cousin, who works in a hotel where a bodybuilding event took place. "I got so excited that I hung up the phone and began researching the sport," she says.
Fleishman says that when she first began exploring the topic, she noticed that almost all of the photographs of bodybuilders, at least the ones that she could find, portrayed the participants in an almost grotesque manner. She wanted to avoid that look. "In showing a different side to it, it's a way of connecting people, a way of changing their perceptions about the sport."
Wheelchair bodybuilding competitions date back about 15 years, and both amateurs and professionals compete in worldwide events throughout the year. After following the participants for months, Fleishman says that, besides the normal suspense that comes with any competitive event, there's another layer to it. "Seeing what being on stage does for them, they really, really shine," she says. "You have a whole range of reasons why they compete, but the dedication and perseverance is really inspiring." And it's not just on stage: last May, in a Wal-mart in Texas, Fleishman accompanied Scott—the de facto spokesman for the sport—when he went to purchase batteries for his wheelchair, which is rigged to light up when he performs. Outside the store, a teenage boy, also in a wheelchair, approached Scott to say that he hoped one day to be like him. "You can obviously see that Nick has muscles," says Fleishman. "The kid was impressed. It was a really nice moment to see that."
But there has been one drawback to immersion in the wheelchair bodybuilding community during her year of photographing the project—and, as the work continues, it may only get worse. "It's really hard," Fleishman says, "because you want them all to win."
Lauren Fleishman is an award-winning photographer based in New York City and Paris. See more of her work here and or on LightBox here.

Sub regional Workshop in Northeast Asia on World Heritage Education
Cette page n'est pas intégralement disponible en français, vous pouvez la consulter en anglais.
BEIJING, China, 11-13 August 2005
The Workshop was convened in the framework of the Associated Schools Project (ASP) with the third sub-regional meeting carrying the theme of "World Heritage Education"
- to promote better and deeper understanding in World Heritage Education and relevant teaching materials in Republic of Korea, Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea, Japan, China and Mongolia
- to enhance mutual understanding in East Asian countries through common concern for World Heritage Education by exchanging and sharing information and experiences in ASPnet activities for World Heritage Education on a national and sub-regional basis
- to implement programs aimed at enhancing the awareness about World Heritage Education among various actors, teachers, students, and relevant institutions
- to help strengthen the capacities of ASPnet teachers and officers in conducting activities for World Heritage Education, and to strengthen the dialogue and collaboration among teachers/teaching institutions/schools, culture managers, museums, heritage site managers, interested individuals and organizations in the local communities
- to share and learn from the successful and innovative experiences of ASPnet schools applying World Heritage Education within school curricula and as extra-curricula activities as introduced by the UNESCO World Heritage Education Kit and other/own incentives such as the development of effective educational approaches and teaching materials
- To contribute to the integration of World Heritage Education not only at ASPnet schools but all major educational institutions in the country and in the region
- To enhance the cooperation and information exchange within the framework of World Heritage Education in the region, among schools and educational institutions as well as between educational and cultural agents.
Workshop Recommendations
All the participants agreed on the need to enhance teacher training and deal with obstacles such as the lack of materials and institutional constraints. Numerous ideas on possible joint-programs at sub-regional level were put forward:
Developing concrete programs to create networks
- Bilateral and multilateral exchange programs (study visit to selected World Heritage sites, exchange of teachers and trainers-multilateral/Sister & Brother World Heritage sites)
- Conducting more trainings for teachers - developing national 'mobile' teams for teacher training with support/input from people from culture offices, site management and museums
- Programs to encourage young people to become Heritage Guardians and Young Culture Ambassadors
- Cooperation programs between site management and schools/community;
- Programs that develop links among and between ASP institutions and UNESCO clubs and federation schools;
- Communication programs using ICT's and website.
Advocacy and Research on innovative approaches and modalities
- Study and dissemination of best practices especially on putting World Heritage Education (WHE) into the curriculum and extra-curriculum activities
- Combining peace education with WHE
- Develop and disseminate more local teaching/interpretative materials on WH sites and indexed to different school levels; add more information on WH sites in textbooks and design in a manner that arouses young people's interest
- Increase the number of ASP schools, including universities and involve them in WHE activities
- Media Campaign focused on WHE and educational value; reach-out to rural areas using different media support (i.e. radio) and relate WH sites to a wider range of living situations for different audiences
- Develop family oriented educational programs - museum/site tour can be a good family education
41 participants, of which 25 teachers, professors, ASPnet co-ordinators and other educational sector workers; and 16 representatives from UNESCO WHC, Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCEIU), Metropolitan Museum of Manila, department of Ministry of Education (China), Chinese National Commission for UNESCO, UNESCO Office Beijing and the Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences.
