Talking points: Wild horses ARE native species being eradicated from their legal domain by the agency mandated to protect them, BLM. They are NOT overpopulated and are facing extinction. They ARE not starving on PUBLIC lands which is their legal domain. Exorbitant contracts funded by tax payer dollars are funding this genocide. What can you do to be a voice for the voiceless?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Colombian singer Shakira was honored Saturday by Harvard University for her artistic and humanitarian work. She later said some U.S. states' proposed anti-immigrant legislation goes against her foundation's efforts to provide education to poor people around the world.
The Grammy Award-winning singer, however, said Latino immigrants in the U.S. facing various anti-immigrant bills will have "justice" as public awareness about their plight grows.
"Justice will come. I'm sure," Shakira told The Associated Press after the award ceremony. "Wherever there is ... a kid, who could be the son or the daughter of a Latino immigrant, who cannot attend a school in the United States of America, that kid should be a concern to all of us and our responsibility."
Shakira made the comments in an interview when asked about proposed measures in Arizona and elsewhere targeting illegal immigrants. A bill in Arizona, for example, would bar illegal immigrants from attending public schools, living in public housing or driving. Another bill seeks to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents are illegal immigrants.
"I believe we should never think less of the Latino community because it's a productive force in this country," Shakira told the AP.
The singer, born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, was awarded the "2011 Artist of the Year" from the Harvard Foundation, the university's center for intercultural arts and science initiatives.
Foundation director S. Allen Counter said Shakira, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, was honored for her "distinguished history of creativity," as well as for her charitable contributions.
Previous winners of the Harvard award include Sharon Stone, Will Smith, Jackie Chan and Herbie Hancock.
Shakira said she was humbled by the award and the student performances at the ceremony. "As I entered the premises today, I had to call my mom and say, 'Hey mom. Guess what? I got into Harvard'," said Shakira, who took a history class in 2008 at UCLA.
After accepting the award, she challenged Harvard students to do more to improve education in developing countries. "Not everyone can study at Harvard University," she said. "But everyone, wherever they live, whatever their background, deserves a chance to make the most of his or her potential" through education.
She said that applied to poor children in Bangladesh or immigrants in the United States. "And as a child of the developing world, it is my duty to use this voice in every way I can to promote the message about the power of education to change lives," she said.
Shakira founded the Barefoot Foundation at the age of 18 to provide education and nutrition to children in impoverished areas of Colombia. She also is a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador.
Howard Buffett, 56, son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett and board member of the Barefoot Foundation, said he and Shakira have plans to work on educational projects in parts of the world ravaged by war and natural disasters.
"I think she brings credibility, particularly because of her background," Buffett said. "She's pretty focused on education."
Singer Shakira: Latinos in US will have 'justice'
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Colombian singer Shakira was honored Saturday by Harvard University for her artistic and humanitarian work. She later said some U.S. states' proposed anti-immigrant legislation goes against her foundation's efforts to provide education to poor people around the world.

Every other Thursday, we bring you Nicholas Day -- on cooking for children, and with children, and despite children. Also, occasionally, on top of.
Today: Nicholas finds a freezer-friendly (and child-friendly) soup, but he wants more.
Before we get to the soup course, and I'm warming it up now, I have a totally straight-faced question: How did people feed their children before freezers? On nights when there was nothing remotely edible in the house, did the parents send the children outside to fill up on wild garlic and chickweed? How much chickweed did that require, exactly? And isn't chickweed really hairy?The freezer, along with those alarm clocks that change color when it is no longer the middle of the night, makes modern parenthood possible. But I have a problem: I never know what to freeze—that is, when I set out to make meals for the freezer, I go cold: I forget what I used to make, or wanted to make, or I refuse to make the same damn thing again. I am a self-contradictory bundle of desires: I want comfort and novelty. You know how this story ends: we have nothing to eat and I send Isaiah outside to pick chickweed.
If you are not this way, I need your suggestions. If you are, I have my own to offer: a rich winter-weather soup, adapted from Zuppe. It has chickpeas, farro or barley, kale, pixie dust; it is wholesome but not prudish. It sounds, in other words, like something no child would ever eat. But mine did, in quantity.The reason he did, I think, is my current chickpea cooking method, which is stolen from Melissa Clark: it involves a lot of salt and a lot of oil, some aromatics and a cheese rind, all added at the beginning. The bean broth is seriously salty and oily; the palate follows close behind, panting. I know there are complicated debates about when salt and fat should be added to beans. (Before! After! Halfway! During the full moon!) But all the exegesis makes me dizzy. You know the duel in Raiders of the Lost Ark between Indiana Jones and the black-robed, sword-twirling villain, where Indiana wearily watches all the fancy swordwork—and then shoots him with a gun? That's how it feels adding salt and fat at the beginning: unsporting, unfair, but undeniably effective.This is a one-bowl dinner. (You do not need bread. Don't get distracted.) Everything goes in the same bowl. Speaking of which, has anyone figured out why things mixed together on a plate can be deeply problematic, but things mixed together in a bowl pass without comment?Don't answer that. Right now, I need your help: freezer, meals, children, go.

Inside Our Summer Issue
Beyond Prisons
The United States locks up more people than any other country, but that hasn't made us safer. The drug war jails thousands of nonviolent addicts. Taxpayers and poor communities lose as states slash social programs to pay for prisons. There's a better way—compassion, not punishment; restoration, not isolation. It's less costly, more humane—and it works.

If U.S. President Barack Obama was looking for a boost to his campaign for re-election from the June unemployment report, he was sorely disappointed.
Friday's figure stayed at a stubborn 8.2 percent and the economy saw only about 80,000 jobs added during the month, with 12.7 million Americans still looking for work and 2.5 million more no longer counted in the workforce, 821,000 discouraged workers who are not currently looking for work because they don't think there are any jobs out there and 8.2 million Americans who want full-time work but are working only part-time, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported.
"There are no quick fixes to the problems we face that were more than a decade in the making," said Alan Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
"Employment is growing but it is not growing fast enough given the jobs deficit caused by the deep recession."
The jobless rate, however, is nearly a point lower than last year at this time and well below the October 2009 peak of 10 percent when nearly 15.5 million were unemployed.
But the overall figures are just half the story. Unemployment for blacks is 14.4 percent; teenagers, 23.7 percent, and Hispanics, 11 percent. Overall for whites, adult men and adult women, the figures were a bit better, 7.4 percent, 7.8 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively. Among Asians, unemployment was 6.3 percent.
On a brighter note, the Chicago outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said layoffs hit a 13-month low in May -- 37,551 -- down 39 percent from 2011.
Where were jobs added? Mostly in the services sector: 47,000 in business and professional services, 9,000 in management and consulting services, 7,000 in computer systems design and related services. Manufacturing added 11,000 jobs in June, healthcare, 13,000 and wholesale trade, 9,000.
The National Employment Law Project notes July 1 marked a turning point: Extended unemployment benefits expire by the end of the year, so the newly unemployment will have just 26 weeks to find work.
"The economy is stuck with slow job growth and high unemployment. It desperately needs a boost to get out of this ditch," Christine Owens, NELP executive director, said in a release. "Let's hope that when Congress returns from its July 4th recess, it will put politicking and pyrrhic votes aside and focus on meaningful steps to restart growth and create jobs: fiscal relief to the states to put teachers, cops and firefighters back to work; job-creating direct investment in repairing and building crucial infrastructure; and continued support for the long-term unemployed, including renewal of the emergency federal unemployment insurance program before it expires at the end of the year. There's too much at stake for Congress to spend the next four months campaigning, instead of getting serious about putting America back to work."
Economist Peter Morici of the University of Maryland said signs point to more trouble down the road, citing China's decision to weaken its currency and close its markets to stimulate domestic growth, the crisis in Europe and mounting problems in China's housing and banking sectors.
In a good news/bad news analysis, Morici said unemployment likely will remain high "because so many folks who left the labor force would likely return if economic conditions improved.
"Were growth to pick up and the job market improved, given the state of household finances, the percentage of adults seeking employment could easily rise to pre-recession levels," Morici said in a release.
"The economy would have to add about 13 million jobs over the next three years -- about 360,000 each month -- to bring unemployment down to 6 percent. Growth [a gross domestic product] in the range of 4 to 5 percent is necessary to accomplish that."
The lagging recovery is taking a serious toll on younger workers.
"For young Americans, through no fault of their own, their story is one of few opportunities, delayed dreams and stalled careers. Today's unemployment numbers tell the story of millions of young Americans who are paying the price for the failed policies coming out of Washington that have inhibited economic opportunity and job creation," former Labor Department official Paul T. Conway said in a release.
"While leaders in Washington travel to communities to make campaign promises and seek to place blame for the results of their failed policies, young Americans are looking for more than rhetoric," said Conway, president of Generation Opportunity, a non-profit, non-partisan 501 (c)(4) organization.
The jobs site CareerBuilder said, however, the outlook for the rest of the year may be brighter. It released a survey conducted by Harris Interactive May 14-June 4 of 2,000 hiring managers and human resource professionals indicating 44 percent plan to hire full-time, permanent staff through the end of the year. That compares with 35 percent who planned hiring a year ago.
"Two years ago, the hiring activity in the U.S. was driven primarily by large employers recruiting in metropolitan areas for a handful of industries or job functions. Today, we see job listings in all industries, market sizes and company sizes," CareerBuilder Chief Executive Officer Matt Ferguson said.
"The outlook for the remainder of the year is better than 2011, but it will follow the same pattern of steady progress rather than a surge in job growth. Employers will remain careful as they assess barriers and opportunities for growth in the economy and their own businesses."
Morici agreed: "Policies, favoring bank consolidation and financial schemes, alternative energy and high technology and government expansion of health care are hampering jobs creation in core-manufacturing, resources and many service activities. Those policies encourage more off-shoring, push down wages, pad big bonuses and dividends, and skew income toward the wealthiest in Manhattan, the Silicon Valley and other bastions of privilege."
The survey also indicated 21 percent of companies plan part-time and temporary hires, up from 15 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

A number of land owners have received notices from the Forest Service stating that the USFS is not responsible for the intrusion of permitted livestock on private land.
The challenge is that San Juan County is a "fenced-in" county, which requires land owners to keep their livestock fenced in. Norman Johnson said that if public citizens are required to comply with county policy, so should the USFS.
The policy is based on a Supreme Court case. Johnson asked, "Where are private citizens as it relates to property bordering Forest Service property?"
Commissioners said that they will look into the issue.
In other matters at the May 16 meeting, Monticello resident Monte Wells complained about a US Forest Service ranger who was directing traffic after a truck turnover accident in Monticello on May 13. Wells said that the Forest Service officer was acting like a policeman, but he has no authority.
"It is outside the scope of his duty," said Wells. "This sends the wrong message when he is standing out there acting like he has authority"
Commission Bruce Adams said the officer was probably just trying to be helpful.
Wells replied, "He was just trying to be helpful, but I don't think it is lawful."
Commissioners also:
• discussed a $59,399 Social Services Block grant from the state of Utah. The grant will be split between aging programs operated by San Juan County and programs operated by San Juan Counseling.
• approved out-of-state travel for Norman Johnson to attend a national convention in Portland, OR. Johnson is treasurer of the National Association of Clerks, Recorders and Election Officials.
• approved a consulting contract with Lynn Stevens to serve as a liaison between San Juan County and the state and federal public land agencies. Stevens, who left the commission in January, continues to work on the creation of a San Juan County Land Bill that may be presented to Congress as early as this fall.
• Stevens asked the Commission for a letter of support for a proposal to construct a Trail of the Ancients Tribal Interpretive Center in Bluff, just west of the Twin Rocks Trading Post. The Hole in the Rock Foundation is seeking a National Scenic Byways Grant to fund the project.
• Stevens also reported that the Glen Canyon Recreation Area Master Plan for Motorized Access in the Park does not include San Juan County. Stevens said that the Park Service has created a recreation permitting plan for public use of the Hole in the Rock Trail in Garfield and Kane counties. However, he said it is back to "Square One" for a master plan for motorized use in San Juan County.
• approved a $11,480 bid for Redd Mechanical to install air conditioning in a portion of the Public Safety Building in Monticello. The area is used as classrooms for the Utah State University courses that are offered for inmates at the Public Safety Building.
County maintenance director Monte Perkins reports that up to 20 people use the classrooms, increasing the need for air conditioning in the classroom.
• approved a $1,518 bid for San Juan Building Supply to provide new windows at the county annex in Blanding. County employees will install the new windows.
• approved out-of-state travel for county tourism director Charlie DeLorme to meet with Japanese Tourism and Delta Airlines officials in Los Angeles. Delta is scheduled to relaunch direct air service between Salt Lake City and Japan on June 2. The meetings will include strategizing how to increase visitation to the area by Japanese tourists.
DeLorme told Commissioners that most travel requests are cleared in advance by the county travel board. However, since this request is on short notice, he simply visited with the board chair about the trip to LA.
• DeLorme reports that Utah Governor Gary Herbert is set to sign bills regarding Fast Track grants and Business Expansion and Retention programs. Both bills are designed to aid in economic development efforts in rural areas.
• DeLorme also said that the annual Native American Summit, hosted by Governor Herbert, is August 30-31 at University Park Marriott in Salt Lake City.

|Pork Chops & Rice Oven Dinner
Another quick supper, this time a one-pot oven dinner, pork chops and rice cooked together. The very first meal I cooked, memorable for reasons good and bad!
Here's to memories, the ones connecting home-cooked food and real life.
On March 31, 1970, I cooked this easy one-skillet supper. Yes, I really do recall a single meal cooked exactly 39 years ago today, perhaps more than the one cooked yesterday, all because:It was my mother's birthday, her 40th.
It was the first meal I ever cooked.
It was a disaster.
But there's more to the story, one that demonstrates how kitchen disasters can have happy endings and how some times, no matter what is served, meals are not about the food.
Mom had a new job, she was working long hours. That morning, she jotted down her recipe for a standby pork chop supper she'd made herself many times, one so familiar that she left out one itsy bitsy detail: browning the pork chops. Oops. An experienced cook might have realized. Me, I was 11 and following her recipe to the letter.
I baked a surprise birthday cake and frosted it with blue icing, a disaster in its own right. Worse? I forgot the sugar. Oops.
Weary from her day, hungry for real food, Mom arrived home to pale pork and an inedible gooey-blue cake. Still, she was full of smiles and her characteristic hear-it-from-across-the-room laugh.
You see, five years earlier, Mom had been diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer, a near-certain death sentence. Turning 40 meant she'd reached the five-year mark of breast cancer survival: she'd beaten the odds. Supper may have been a mess, but Mom – and all of us – had good reason to celebrate.
Time to table: 2 hours
Serves 4 (easily divided or multiplied)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 thin-cut bone-in pork chops, about 1-1/4 pounds
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup rice (see TIPS)
- 4 onion slices
- 4 rings of green pepper
- 4 tomato rounds
- 1-1/2 cups broth (chicken, beef, vegetable)
- Generous salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 350F.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet until shimmery on medium high. Rinse and dry the pork chops, season with salt and pepper. (Don't forget this important step!) Drop the chops into the skillet (they should sizzle). Brown each sides, about 3 minutes each, without moving. Set the chops aside.
Stir the rice into the pan drippings, then arrange the chops over top. Atop each chop, layer a slice of onion, a ring of green pepper and a tomato round.
Pour the broth over the rice and around the meat. If the broth is lightly seasoned, sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 90 minutes.

No reports in Michigan of meningitis tied to outbreak
LANSING (AP) -- No cases of a rare kind of meningitis linked to an outbreak in six states have been reported in Michigan, even though some tainted steroids have been distributed in the state.
Michigan Department of Community Health spokeswoman Angela Minicuci confirmed Thursday that some facilities in the state have received doses of a steroid from the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass.
Investigators this week found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the pharmacy. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak that has sickened 35 people.
Five people who got shots for back pain have died.
Minicuci says officials in Michigan are "working right now to determine the next steps to take."

Historically, Sherborne was the capital of Wessex, one of the seven Saxon kingdoms of England. Sherborne Castle was built in 1594 by Sir Walter Raleigh on the grounds of the ruined old palace built in the 12th century. The Abbey Church of St Mary the Virgin at Sherborne, or colloquially called Sherborne Abbey was originally a Saxon cathedral (705-1075), then a Benedictine abbey (998-1539), and more recently and after the Dissolution of the Monasteries a parish church.
The parish of Mitton in the West Riding of Yorkshire played an important role in the family's lineage. "It was for many generations chiefly the property of the Sherburnes, of whom Sir John de Sherburne attended Edward III. at the siege of Calais. Stonyhurst, the seat of the family, now occupied as a Roman Catholic college, was probably commenced by Sir Richard Sherburne, who died in 1594, and completed by his son in 1596." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]

To me, it's the people that are clearly different that are the heroes. They're the ones that create a space for us gays to exist. Without them, we would all be in the closet. They push the boundaries, refuse to assimilate. They scream, from the rooftops, that they refuse to blend in, to follow rules, to cave in to societal pressures.
They are the ones who make the fight worth it, because their everyday life is the fight!

Does Counterprogramming Work? 11 David Vs. Goliath Box Office Stories
There are few things Hollywood movie studios do more than obsess over release dates. They are put together years in advance like a giant jigsaw puzzle. In theory, you would think every single movie would scratch and claw to get the easiest competition possible, but sometimes, the best thing a flick can do is find the biggest, most splashy entry on the calendar and position itself as counter-programming.

The 10 Most Disappointing Movies Of 2011
There were plenty of movies from this year that I absolutely loved and others that I absolutely hated, but there's a very special category that exists between both of those ends: the ones that left me utterly disappointed. While I always enter a movie theater hoping to love the hell out of whatever I'm watching, the truth is that there are some films that I spend a lot of time thinking about and anticipating, only to be left frustrated at the end.

Super 8 Casting Associate Discovered To Be A Convicted Child Molester
Much in the way that parents likely hope to send their kids to school, or to some extra-curricular activity without having to fear that the adult they've left their child with might be a sexual predator, it's probably a fair assumption to say the same applies to parents of children in the entertainment industry.

Super 8 Unspools On Blu-Ray And DVD November 22nd
In a summer of super-heroes and sequels, Super 8 stood out. Whether you were on board with J.J. Abrams ode to Spielberg and the "Amblin-style" movies many of us grew up with or not, there's no question that Super 8 was ambitious and original. If it failed, it certainly didn't do so for lack of trying. Thankfully, I'm in the camp that thought it worked remarkably well, so I'm giving thanks that Super 8 has been announced for Blu-ray and DVD this November 22nd.

Weekend Box Office - Super 8 Shutters Competition
It's a camera! It's a motel franchise! No! It's the number one movie of the weekend? The top summer fodder tends to be big budget blockbusters. This weekend was devoid of any new major sequel releases and therefore gave rise to a quieter, more original film nabbing first place, despite a low audience turn out.

Stunning New Super 8 Poster Feels More Amblin Than Ever
Not only have the movies trailers captured that classic Amblin feel, so have the movies posters. In particular there was one which we showed you a few weeks ago, is a deliberate homage to the posters used to advertise Close Encounters. Now at the eleventh hour, with the movie about to hit theaters, Super 8 has a new poster, and it's the most Spielbergian of them yet.

There's A 70-Page Star Trek 2 Outline Ready For J.J. Abrams Whenever He Says Go
Star Trek co-writer Robert Orci confirmed in the comments section over at TrekMovie.com that J.J. Abrams "is still working" with the writers on their script, and "hoped" that he will return to direct the sequel. He even went so far as to turn over a 70-plus-page outline for the sequel's script. Chances are Abrams officially will dive into the sequel once his Super 8 commitments are behind him, and the sequel will be in theaters on June 29, 2012.

New Super 8 Clip Shows The Aftermath Of The Train Crash
Yesterday Paramount began releasing a series of clips from the upcoming J.J. Abrams film Super 8. All taking place around the same point in the film: the train crash that puts the plot in motion. The first 30 second look showed the kids at center of the plot setting up for a scene in their monster movie and the second was all about the action, showing exactly what happens when a gigantic freight train is thrown off of its tracks. If you thought that second clip was intense, wait till you get a load of this.

At this stage in the game I'm fairly confident that the mystery surrounding Super 8 isn't going to be solved in the marketing. The movie is set to be released in early June and while the broad assumption is that there's an alien involved, nothing has been confirmed, simply "unusual disappearances and inexplicable events," as described in the official synopsis.

Walcott would probably be an instant starter for us
Walcott is crapOnce again we are signing a top 6 clubs reserve failures , we will never get close to them if we keep buying their ageing cast offsNo doubt he would command a big wage as wellCompletely the wrong kind of signing An expensive headless chicken who has 1 good game in 10
Need to stop thinking short term.
Indeed, we should hire the bottom 10s failures instead.
He would. No question.But like @therealdunc has said, if we want to catch these top 6 teams we have to stop signing their cast offs.We have to find our own way of doing things, and find an identity on how we buy, and develop players.Right now it just seems all so arbitrary as to what we're doing.It seems like it's the beginning of the end for us in the Premier league.
I don't think that's what he was thinking as the alternative. lol
Walcott won't find the net on a regular basis
Walcott's issue is fitness, although I thought he'd been doing ok on that score of late...he simply wasn't getting picked. In general, I'd have Walcott ahead of any of our current wingers, he also is far more likely to get a goal himself than any of our current options. A trait we definitely miss.

Soka Performing Arts Center
Soka University's beautiful new Soka Performing Arts Center and the adjacent new Wangari Maathai Hall classroom building are open, adding approximately 95,000 square feet to the SUA Campus. Located behind Founders Hall, the Soka Performing Arts Center features world-class acoustics designed by Yasuhisa Toyota, designer of noted performance venues like the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Suntory Hall in Tokyo. In addition, Maathai features our new Black Box Theatre (seating 180) and dance studio, and adds 10 classrooms and 30 additional offices to support academic programs. Go to Soka Performing Arts Center home page at www.performingarts.soka.edu.
Designed to truly reflect the university's commitment to sustainability, both buildings have been certified to Gold LEED standards and feature vegetated green roofs. Photo voltaic cells on the Soka Performing Arts Center roof generate approximately 15% of the facility's electrical needs. See our solar generation statistics!
Soka Performing Arts Center was dedicated on May 27th with the Commencement for the Class of 2011. The grand opening was on September 17, 2011.
Thanks to Susan Matsumoto for sharing the photo above of Founders Hall and the Soka Performing Arts Center at dusk.
Soka University welcomes Soka Performing Arts Center General Manager David Palmer
Tours of new Center added to daily tour schedule
After 19 successful years with the Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts at Whittier College, David Palmer has taken on a new challenge – opening the new 1000-seat Soka Performing Arts Center at Soka University in Aliso Viejo. As the new General Manager for Soka Performing Arts Center, Palmer has the rare opportunity to staff the new facility and to program its first season – which opened on September 17, 2011 with a Grand Opening concert featuring Pacific Symphony and Horacio Gutierrez. Interested future concert goers can get a "sneak peek" at the new Center by taking one of Soka University's daily walking tours, offered at 10 am and 2 pm Monday – Saturday and departing from Founders Hall. (Register for free tours online at www.soka.edu/tours.)
"My first impression when walking into the Soka Performing Arts Center was "Wow…This is incredible!" says Palmer with a smile. "This is one of the most beautiful halls that I've ever been in. The acoustical consultant was Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics – who also did the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. We tested the acoustics with a rehearsal by the Pacific Symphony and we invited all of the construction workers to come and hear the results of all of their hard work. It was a wonderful evening – and the sound was amazing."
Palmer will initially be focusing on classical and traditional music that will be enhanced by the hall's rich acoustics. "We'll start with just a few fine programs as we explore the Center's capabilities," he added. "We expect to include both international, national and local talent – and I also look forward to working with our local schools." Palmer noted that the Soka Performing Arts Center has also received LEEDS Gold certification -- citing its solar panels, glass shading, green roof and environmentally sensitive construction.

Summary Meeting Notes: April 15, 2013 Education and Youth Success PEG
Summary Meeting Notes
Education and Youth Success Policy Expert Group Meeting #10
Meeting Date: April 15, 2013
Time: 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Attendees: Paul Cathcart, Lois Cohen, Karen Fischer Gray, Will Fuller, Gabe Graff, Brett Horner (for Mary Richardson), Troy Tate, Stacey Triplett, Lilly Windle, Helen Ying
Staff / Facilitator: Deborah Stein, Bob Glascock, Chris Scarzello, John Cole, Julia Gisler, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability; Clark Worth, Barney & Worth
Public / Guests: None present
View the original agenda, including materials, for this meeting.
Welcome and Reflections from Last Meeting
Presenter: Clark Worth
Summary: Reflections on March 18 meeting highlights: none were offered.
Clark Worth pointed out that PEG member Lois Cohen's work in schools was highlighted in the April 10 edition of the Daily Journal of Commerce.
Meeting Goal: Complete PEG discussion and feedback on Comprehensive Plan Working Draft (Part 1 – Goals and Policies). Discuss upcoming stages of the Comprehensive Plan Update and decide how PEG members want to report on the groups conclusions.
PEG Discussion: Comprehensive Plan Working Draft Review
Presenter: Deborah Stein, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Summary: Resume and conclude PEG discussion and feedback on Working Draft Part 1 - Review of specific goals and policies for effectiveness at addressing issues of interest to the Education and Youth Success PEG, explore potential outcomes, and consider how they achieve or hinder aspirations for a more equitable city.
At the March meeting, PEG members emphasized the importance of the updated Comprehensive Plan speaking to youth issues beyond schools, and providing for a continuum from early childhood through higher education. Deborah Stein pointed to a number of chapters where youth needs are addressed.
Bob Glascock announced the .pdf version of the Goals and Policies working draft is searchable, and showed a copy of the Schools Policies in CPU Working Draft highlighting every use of "school" or "schools". PEG members can also search the document for "education", "youth", or other key words or phrases.
Karen Fischer Gray asked what the PEG has accomplished over the past year to influence and improve the Working Draft (Part 1). How will the Comprehensive Plan change as a result? Deborah Stein and Clark Worth listed some of the areas where PEG members have offered recommendations:
- Safe routes to schools
- Flexibility for schools in development standards and zoning
- Streamlining development review for schools; controlling costs
- Treating schools more like other important community facilities and institutions
- Coordinating growth scenarios with school districts, and analyzing the effects on enrollment, capacity and school funding
- Expanding community use of school facilities
- Expanding schools' use of parks
- Achieving equity inPortland's relationship with the various school districts and schools.
PEG members' comments and questions:
- How do we know what other PEGs are doing that is related to our work?
- Helen Ying reported East Portland Action Plan education subcommittee supports priorities that include:
- Filling in gaps in infrastructure: e.g., safe routes to schools
- Coordinating development with school capacity / planning
- Ensuring adequate funding for schools
- Responding toPortland's growing diversity
- Our city should provide a learning context for all youth. "Pattern areas" should include schools in every area of the city, as well as community centers, parks and other youth-oriented facilities.
- Job opportunities for youth in every neighborhood are also important.
- Broadband and technology infrastructure is another priority for youth. Is Portland behind the curve?
- Follow-through, accountability and a plan for implementation (including a timeframe with incremental checkpoints) are needed. Chapter 8 should be strengthened. "If you measure it, it will happen."
- The plan should affirm schools as neighborhood anchors. But how? What strategies will assure that happens?
- Can we prioritize policies?
- City bureaus are already held accountable at budget time for meeting Portland Plan 5-year goals.
- The Comprehensive Plan is an aspirational document, however, not intended to have measurable outcomes.
- Some draft policies are weak. Avoid use of the verb "encourage"; instead, say "Remove obstacles..." The PEG can identify barriers and solutions.
- The City and school districts can collaborate as two bureaucracies to leverage opportunities. The Comprehensive Plan should be more directive about the power of these (and other) partnerships.
- School facilities will be changing more than they have in decades due to the passage of school bonds.
- The school districts need greater flexibility. The City should ask school districts what's not working.
- Chapter 8 should emphasize shared goals of public agencies. Implement with intergovernmental agreements (IGAs).
- Streamlining and flexibility are good. But it's also important to involve people who live near schools in land use decisions, zoning and infrastructure projects that affect them.
- Can development agreements or similar mechanisms supersede zoning code requirements?
Introduction to Part 2 – Maps and Systems
Presenter: Deborah Stein, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
Summary: Preview of Part 2
Deborah Stein explained the next steps of the Comprehensive Plan update, which will translate the schematic Urban Design Framework into Comprehensive Plan land use maps. The stages include:
Part 1
|Goals and Policies: to be completed in May
Part 2
|Urban Design Framework: underway
|Comprehensive Plan Map
|Citywide Systems Plan (infrastructure)
|Transportation Systems Plan (a legal requirement)
|Scenario Performance Analysis: gentrification, job creation, greenhouse gas, etc.
There will be some changes proposed to Portland's land use (zoning) maps, but these are not anticipated to be widespread. The PEG's May meeting will offer an interactive exercise to explore the interplay between policies and mapping issues related to schools and youth.
Questions and comments by PEG members:
- Please bring concrete ideas to stimulate PEG members' thinking at the May meeting.
- Is the Portland"budget map" (showing allocation to projects in different parts of the city) being discontinued?
- Won't the zoning map change in response to growth scenarios: to accommodate institutional campus growth, enrollment growth and crowding?
- How will Metro be involved? What's their land use and transportation role? Will they still be involved in Gateway Regional Center?
- There's an opportunity to reaffirm the community's vision for Gateway.
- Zoning should also have a "Plan B" when visions like Gateway don't happen.
- The Coalition for a Livable Future is updating its mapping tool, Equity Atlas, into. If this update (Version 2.0) is available, this would be a great tool to inform our mapping exercise.
- The maps need to be informed by where the population is/will be, and where the services are (or, where there are current service gaps).
Process Outcomes
Facilitator: Clark Worth
The question was raised about what type of a report the PEG wanted to develop to summarize its recommendations. There is no requirement, but some PEGs plan to present final reports. Karen Fischer Gray emphasized the need for some type of document to capture the PEG's key findings and recommendations.
Additional comments by PEG members:
- There should be something in writing to assure accountability.
- The starting point can be a list of ideas from past discussions.
- The document—not a report—should include an overall statement plus specific recommendations: conclusion / recommendation; conclusion / recommendation; etc.
- The PEG should articulate obstacles they want removed, and solutions.
- The PEG needs to be specific about desired outcomes.
- The document can also identify opportunities for cooperation between the City of Portland and school districts.
- The recent passage of school construction bonds presents a unique opportunity.
- The PEG summary should leave room for individual comments.
- A preface is needed to provide context for the PEG's work—"It's not just schools".
- A connection is needed with the work of other PEGs. How can this be achieved? Can we highlight issues where other PEGs might be consulted?
- The final document should leave PEG members and other readers with a "positive feeling".
Consensus of the group was that there should be a summary of the PEG's work. The facilitator will circulate a draft prior to the May 20 meeting, and this will be added to the agenda as a discussion topic.
Public Comment
No members of the public were present.
Next Steps
The next PEG meeting is set for Monday, May 20, 4:00-6:00 p.m. This meeting will include a mapping workshop and discussion of the PEG summary and recommendations.
Some PEGs will continue to meet after May, and updates will be posted on the website. Bob Glascock invited any interested PEG members to attend a meeting on the Citywide Systems Plan on May 1, 10:00 a.m. A multi-PEG forum may also be scheduled.
Meeting handouts and presentations from April 15:
- Discussion questions on Comprehensive Plan Working Draft
- Schools Policies in CPU Working Draft (with highlights)
- Policy Areas with Implications for Comprehensive Plan Maps and Systems Planning (matrix)
For more information, please contact either Deborah Stein, Bureau of Planning & Sustainability at 503-823-6991 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Clark Worth, Facilitator at 503-222-0146 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you are eligible for the Paid Parental Leave scheme, it is important that you discuss your leave intentions with your employer. To ensure a smooth transition from work to receiving the Government's Parental Leave Pay, it is vital that parents have clearly discussed their plans with their employer.
Here are some key things to remember when having this conversation with your employer:
It is a good idea to speak to your employer as soon as possible about your intention to take leave. You conversations may need to cover:
It is important to communicate your needs and expectations.
The National Employment Standards in the Fair Work Act 2009 provide minimum workplace entitlements, including up to 12 months unpaid parental leave associated with the birth or adoption of a child for employees who have been with their employer for at least 12 months. This leave must be taken in a single continuous period. Employees may take other kinds of paid leave at the same time as unpaid parental leave, such as annual or long service leave, as well as employer-provided paid parental leave. A request for unpaid parental leave must be made in writing to your employer at least ten weeks before the intended start of the leave, specifying the intended start and end dates.
The minimum entitlements in the National Employment Standards may be supplemented by award, agreement or workplace contract entitlements.
The Paid Parental Leave scheme does not provide an entitlement to leave. However, you can combine Parental Leave Pay with employer-provided leave entitlements such as annual leave, long service leave and existing employer-provided paid or unpaid parental leave schemes.
The National Employment Standards in the Fair Work Act 2009 provide minimum standards for family friendly working conditions including a right for eligible employees to request flexible working arrangements, such as part-time work or flexible working hours, until their child reaches school age. Eligible employees with disabled children under 18 years can also request flexible working arrangements. Employers will only be able to refuse the request on reasonable business grounds.
If you return to work before the end of your Paid Parental Leave period, your Parental Leave Pay will stop. Under the Paid Parental Leave scheme you have the option, if you and your employer agree, to Keep in Touch with your workplace without losing your entitlement to Parental Leave Pay. Activities could include, but would not be limited to, attending a planning meeting or a training course.
You can participate in workplace activities for up to ten Keeping in Touch days from the time you become the primary carer of your child until the end of your Paid Parental Leave period, although this cannot occur within the first two weeks of the birth of your child. You must be paid your usual wages or salary in addition to your Parental Leave Pay for the time you attend work. Keeping in Touch days do not extend your Paid Parental Leave period.
The Australian Government is planning to introduce amendments in Parliament to the Fair Work Act 2009, to ensure that accessing a Keeping in Touch day does not affect an entitlement to the minimum standard of 12 months unpaid parental leave under the National Employment Standards. Until this amendment has been passed in Parliament, employees who are eligible for the Paid Parental Leave scheme and who are accessing unpaid parental leave under the National Employment Standards, are advised not to access a Keeping in Touch day if they are unsure how this will affect their entitlement to unpaid parental leave.
If you are self-employed, you will be able to keep an eye on your business without being regarded as having returned to work. You will be able to oversee the business' operations, and perform the occasional administrative task.
Before your leave ends, you should arrange to meet your employer to discuss your return to work arrangements, such as your role, hours, and flexible working arrangements.
You can lodge your claim for the Paid Parental Leave scheme up to three months before the expected date of birth or adoption of your child. For more information about the Paid Parental Leave scheme including eligibility and how to claim, visit www.familyassist.gov.au or call 13 6150.
For more information about workplace entitlements, the National Employment Standards in the Fair Work Act 2009, discrimination or workplace best practice go to www.fairwork.gov.au or call the Fair Work Info line on 13 1394.

My grandson is suffering with eczema. Over-the-counter creams aren't working. His skin has been getting worse for the past three weeks. I've heard that bleach baths can help. Is it safe to give him a bleach bath?
Living Well Expert
Dr. Jennifer Shu
Children's Medical Group
Thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your grandson's skin problems. Because bacteria on the skin can make conditions such as eczema worse (or prevent them from healing), some people suggest using a small amount of bleach in the bath water -- somewhat like swimming in a chlorinated pool -- to remove the germs.
Since I don't know your grandson's age or other medical background, it would be best to check with his doctor to see whether this type of treatment is recommended for his eczema.
Ask our expert doctors a question
Keep in mind that young children and sensitive individuals (such as those with asthma) may develop breathing problems when exposed to chlorine fumes. Chlorine can also be irritating to the eyes, and it's important to make sure children don't swallow any so keep the bottle well out of reach!
If you choose to try bleach baths, be sure to ventilate the bathroom well and use only a small amount of bleach (some doctors suggest using ½ cup of bleach in a full standard-sized tub of water; use less if the tub isn't full). Limit the baths to no more than about twice a week unless your grandson's doctor says otherwise.
Other options might include using lavender oil or other essential oils in the tub for eczema since they may also have antibacterial and soothing properties. Remember, however, that even natural remedies can cause allergic reactions, and the fragrances may also be irritating to kids.
I would be interested to hear from readers on how they have treated their eczema so please feel free to comment below!

Behold the massive metal jaws of "Deep Sea Angler Fish," a five-foot long sculpture assembled entirely from recycled objects like bicycle parts, shovels and knives. It's modeled after one of the ocean deep's most iconic bioluminescent organisms. This is the fearsome handiwork of sculptor Justin La Doux, and it's one of the coolest pieces of interactive science art we've seen in ages.
La Doux describes the piece over on his Etsy page:
It stands 5 feet tall with base, 4 feet wide and 5 feet long. When you first look at the fish the light over the head is glowing bright, but when you walk in for a closer look the eyes and body light up using a motion censored light.
Seriously impressive. And it can be yours for $8,000! Read more, and see more photos, over on La Doux's Etsy page.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) is available on Amazon Instant Video. This film adaption of the bestselling novel by Stephen Chbosky (who also directed) is a coming-of-age story about Charlie, a freshman in high school wrestling through the difficulties of making friends, falling in love, and coming to terms with his past.

Read our review here.
Disney's Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) borrows elements from the classic story to spin a tale of how the Wizard first came to Oz. The film follows the misadventures of a con artist (James Franco) that land him in the vibrant world of Oz, his encounters with three witches, and a moral struggle that will determine the fate of the land.

Suge Knight got into a verbal altercation with an L.A. weed shop employee, and has been accused of threatening the worker.
Suge Knight doesn't have the best reputation, and the former Death Row CEO is not doing much to combat the public's perception of him.
According to TMZ, cops were called to an L.A. weed shop after Suge went ballistic on one of the employees. Apparently, Knight was barred from entry to the shop, which he was not very happy about. Despite the owner's attempts to calm him down, Suge is said to have told a member of the staff, "I will kill you."
Suge's camp has explained that the mogul was expecting to take part in a promotional appearance at the shop, but there was a misunderstanding, which is why things got a bit hectic.
While Knight admits to getting a bit confrontational, he still claims that he did not utter any death threats.
Nevertheless, cops are in the process of investigating him for felony criminal threats.
[Update: Punches Thrown In New Footage]
Security footage has surfaced of Suge Knight's altercation with a L.A. marijuana shop employee, and while there is no audio to support his use of a death threat, we do see the former Death Row CEO strike the man.
Suge's blow seemingly comes out of nowhere, and he walks away from the storefront shortly after hitting the victim.
Watch the footage below.

For those who don't follow along on Twitter, 5by5, iTunes, RSS, Flipboard, various podcast apps, or newspapers, I bring you sad news.
We've brought Bionic to an end just after its second birthday.
Given our workloads, Myke and I made the decision a few months back to start moving towards a conclusion. And, with deft artistry and exhaustive show notes, we navigated our way to an end at episode 95.
(Less than 25% of that's true, but let's remember this moment fondly with a touch of romanticism. Like the creators of most mainstream television endings.)
Historians often reflect upon Bionic's turning point — episode 51 — wherein Myke accidentally loosened his grip on the narrative and we ended up on an odd trajectory discussing nothing in particular for 44 episodes. So, for those looking to see what all of this was about or wondering why "Car, Plane, or Boat?" is a serious question, I'd recommend starting there.
I mention those episodes because, simply put, Bionic's later moments — fondly known as the Bonanza episodes — were a constant source of happiness for Myke and I.
Personally, whilst going through periods of intense self-doubt and worry regarding Need and the future, Bionic represented a moment — albeit brief — of respite, ridiculousness, and disconnection from reality. I know it was emblematic of something similar for Myke, too.
For that feeling, I cannot thank our supporters enough.
Neither of us could've ever predicted the response to our show — from apps (plural) to GIF competitions to screenplays to websites — and we're both honored to have had enjoyed this journey with each of you. People like John Voorhees, Andrew Clark, Matt Policastro, Forgotten Towel/Frank Towers, Joe Steel, Robb Lewis, David Young, and Stephen Hackett have made this a remarkable experience and we cannot thank each of you enough.
Special thanks, too, to Merlin Mann and Marco Arment for ushering Bionic from an unknown show to something with dozens of listeners.
You can find the vast majority of the creative work surrounding Bionic at vlcnr.com. (We'll keep this online indefinitely.) And, for a brief moment, there might be one or two stickers available. (Sadly, most sold out before the final episode was even released.)
For those looking to fill the void, Myke produces some of the best podcasts around and I urge you to listen to them. (You already do, but listen to them more. Or twice. Something.)
And, for businesses out there, sponsoring podcasts works. Support the industry and support the fantastic work people are producing everyday.
Thank you for all the support, time, and care. We truly appreciate it.
(Also, remember when I wrote about things? Fun times.)

"The sources said [coach Jim] Marsh, also an English teacher at the high school, ordered the team bus to pull over near the cemetery. He then asked the roughly two dozen players to get out and lay on the graves. The players rested there for several minutes while Marsh preached about the importance of playing hard, and how those buried underneath them would cherish the opportunity to trade places with the players and fight to win. Marsh then urged the Mustangs to arise from the dead and bring their season back to life." [The Post-Standard]

Wall Street has dismissed more bad economic news and finished with a moderate advance that left stocks at their highest levels in two months.
Fresh details from the Federal Reserve on its efforts to combat the recession have helped offset another round of disappointing economic readings on the service sector, factory orders and pending home sales.
The Dow Jones industrials closed up 62, or 0.70 percent, at the 9,016 level. Broader indicators are ended with bigger gains.
Meanwhile, world stock markets rose amid relatively positive corporate news, particularly from the struggling British retailing sector, but very weak U.S. factory orders data capped investors' optimism.
The escalation of the gas dispute between Ukraine and Russia, which has now shut off deliveries to several neighboring countries and helped push the price of oil back above $50 a barrel for the first time since mid-December, also supported energy stocks around the world.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 51.90 points, or 1.1 percent, at 4,639.68, while Germany's DAX rose 72.15 points, or 1.5 percent, to 5,056.14. France's CAC-40 rose 54.07 points, or 1.6 percent, to 3,413.99.
Stock markets have kicked off the New Year in sprightly fashion, partly on relief that 2008 has been put to bed and optimism that an expected near $800 billion package of tax cuts and government spending from the incoming Obama administration may limit the length and depth of the recession in the U.S.
Nevertheless, investors remain fully aware that the economic gloom will hang around for a long time to come.
A raft of economic news this week, most notably Friday's U.S. jobs report for December, will likely provide markets with their first hurdles of 2009 to overcome.
"While investors say they are braced for choppy conditions, they may yet lose their nerve at those times when the going gets rough," said Stephen Lewis, an analyst at Monument Securities.
"The early-year rally in equities is unlikely to run far," he added.
Oil prices were higher amid ongoing concerns about Israel's ground offensive in Gaza and mounting worries about gas supplies in Europe as the dispute between Ukraine and Russia escalated. Light, sweet crude for February delivery was up $1.44 cents at $50.25 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The dollar was 1.1 percent higher at 94.41 yen, while the euro traded 1.7 percent lower at $1.3384 as lower inflation in the 16-nation single currency zone stoked expectations that the European Central Bank may cut borrowing costs aggressively next week.
