What SPRINT's All About
Hello, friends!
With today's return of the Vietnam SPRINT team and the departure of the Brazil team, we're pretty close to SPRINT's halfway point this summer. (For a full list of this summer's trips, visit the SPRINT webpage).
I know you're primarily interested in reports from teams' trips, so I'll keep this post brief. Quickly, though, I wanted to offer some background information on the SPRINT program and our goals for all of this international travel, learning and service you'll read about on these pages.
University-sponsored short-term missions at Seattle Pacific University date back to the early 1960s; participants in Operation Outreach, later renamed Seattle Pacific Reachout INTernational, have volunteered in countries around the world for many years. Serving in teams alongside in-country local leadership, the objective of SPRINT trips has always been to provide needed help, a witness to the Gospel and important learning opportunities for college students.
Today SPRINT is advised and supported by SPU's John Perkins Center for Reconciliation, Leadership Training and Community Development. Perkins Center staff (that's me) and student leaders partner to recruit, train and send the SPRINT teams you're reading about this summer.
It's important for us to engage students with effective, sustainable, community-developing work that promotes long-term transformation rather than the negative, dependency-creating outcomes sometimes associated with short-term missions. To that end, our pre-trip training and host-partner selection focus on a set of values outlined by the Christian Community Development Association, emphasizing local leadership development, empowerment and reconciliation that bridges both social and spiritual gaps. Our hope is that students will learn from effective community engagement models and apply these lessons to their future work, wherever God leads them.
Another key aspect of the SPRINT process is our emphasis on post-trip reflection and application. Neat experiences, great photos and fun stories about new foods do not equal life transformation. However, when students are intentional in reflecting on their experiences, learning take-aways and challenges of the trip they're more likely to discover God at work throughout the trip experience and beyond.
To encourage the reflection process we'll send each student a copy of the Global Citizen Journal, published by the Krista Foundation for Global Service as he or she returns home. The journal highlights the importance of incorporating service and mission experiences into one's life through reflection and application. You might find this sample article interesting: In "Staying for Tea" Aaron Ausland reflects on the importance of long-term commitment and listening to community in order to find one's place of effectiveness as an outsider coming in.
Thanks again for your support of students as they participate in SPRINT this summer. If you'd like more information on the program, ways to give or ways to be involved, please contact me at (206) 281-2932 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

This year dubbed "Snow and Tell," the concert takes place on Dec. 19, 7 p.m., bringing together all of the school's music programs for a special performance of seasonal favorites, swing standards and jazz. More than 100 students across all grade levels will participate.
"We have a very strong jazz program, so everything has that jazzy flavor," said Mission Bay music director Jean-Paul "JP" Balmat. "We will be playing everything from Duke Ellington ('It Don't Mean a Thing') to Vince Gauraldi ('Charlie Brown Christmas')."
In addition to the school's groups — New Orleans-style jazz band The Preservationists, Jazz Ensemble, Music Theory/Compos-ition and Beginning Band — he notes a pair of additions to this year's concert.
"This is the first concert we will be showcasing our brand-new choir- and concert-band program," he said. "We might sneak some New Orleans-inspired tunes in there too."
Balmat said Mission Bay's music program has significantly expanded this past year, including the addition of assistant band director and MBHS alum Mike Hom.
"We have doubled our course offerings this year and our program has grown dramatically," Balmat said. "We are now offering six different music classes, so students have more opportunities and we are able to place them by skill level and interest. This has made students more successful and the evidence in clear when listening."
As much fun as the concerts are for both musicians and audience, Balmat considers them a vital component of the school year.
"They are a way to bring the community together and showcase our wonderful student talent at the school," he said. "Ticket sales also help us raise money for purchasing new instruments, supplies and technology. Our program has doubled this year, so we are busy making sure students have what they need to succeed."
Now in his seventh year directing the school's winter concert, Balmat said his favorite thing about the event is getting to be on stage directing his students.
"There is an energy in performance that is hard to replicate in the classroom," he said. "The students all come together and their parents and the community are there to witness it."
The school's musical legacy helps tie things together.
"A lot of the students see that they are part of something special," he said. "They understand the work (others) have put in before them and they want to leave the program stronger when they graduate."
Balmat considers music to be an essential part of life.
"Music simply makes your quality of life better," he said. "I can't imagine going a day without playing or doing something musical. I see my students find themselves through music. It brings them to school every day and gives them an outlet. We also focus on building a community inside the school so the students always feel a sense of safety and family here."
Coordinating this many students for a single program can be challenging, but even with the addition of two new groups, Balmat is confident anyone looking for holiday-themed family entertainment this season will enjoy the performance.
"I have some great support from parents, so I'm sure everything will go smoothly," he said. "The most time-consuming thing is working on all the music for the different groups. We have been practicing for this show for the past three months. We just hope it shows when it's show time."
Snow and Tell Winter Concert: Thursday, Dec. 19 at Mission Bay High School, 2475 Grand Ave. 7 p.m. All ages. $5. www.missionbaymusic.com

A majority have spoken and the incumbent banner (Post) must face a slate of primary challengers. The embedded ballot will be open until noon (Eastern) on the 5th. You will only be able to vote once from your IP and/or browser, so you may want to consider your opinion.
Clicking each small banner will open it full-sized in a new tab or window. The winner will primarily be displayed 300px wide which is the default width for comments, so it might be helpful for those campaigning to insert a copy in the comments and I suggest that any subsequent campaign posts have a link back to here, the ballot.
The top two vote-getters in this round will be matched in a run-off, which will also be open a minimum of 72 hours. In the event of a tie for second, all tying entries will advance to the run-off and if one primary candidate receives more votes than all other challengers combined, a run-off will be deemed unnecessary and they will automatically win.
One does not have to be a registered Crosstalk author to vote, but bringing in ringers to artificially inflate a candidate will be frowned upon and could result in disqualification.
(IOW: No help from Adrian Chen's side of the web)
This is all in good fun. Banners appear on the ballot in random and changing order.
May the best banner win!
This post will occasionally be bumped or pointers posted while polls are open.

Read more: Bake the Book: Cherry Custard Jalousie Pie
- Yield:serves 6-8
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:2 hours, including baking and cooling
- Pastry
- 500g ready made puff pastry
- Filling
- 200ml double cream
- 300ml full fat milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 125g caster sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons custard powder
- plain flour for dusting
- 400g fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- Milk, for glazing
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For the custard filling: Place the cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Place the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract and custard powder in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Pour the hot milk and cream over the egg mixture whisking continuously. Leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400f/gas 6. Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat. Cut the puff pastry in half and roll one piece out on a lightly floured work surface until you have a rectangular sheet measuring 12 x 8 inches. Carefully place into a rectangular pan measuring 11 x 7 in and about 2 inches deep. Prick the base all over with a fork. Spread the cooled custard into the tin and then arrange the cherries on top.
Roll out the remaining piece of pastry to a 12x6-inch rectangle. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little milk and then lay the other sheet of pastry over the top of the filling and press down gently to seal.
Brush the top with more milk and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Place the tin in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes.
Before placing in the oven make incisions in the pastry with a sharp knife to reveal the filling. Place the pie on the preheated baking tray and bake for 10 minutes then reduce the temperature to 325°F/160°C and continue to bake for a further 45 minutes until the pastry is golden and cooked through.
Leave to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan then serve warm or cold cut into squares.

Hundreds of parents, teachers and students packed Martin Luther King High School's auditorium on Jan. 15 to voice their concerns over the School District of Philadelphia's massive district-wide reorganization that includes closing 37 schools.
The message to the district from students, many of whom held signs protesting the closing of their school, was clear: "don't close our school." At times the meeting became emotional with several parents screaming at school district officials.
Dr. William Hite Jr., school superintendent, Karyn Lynch, chief of student services, and Dannielle Floyd, interim senior vice president of capital programs, answered attendees questions.
Also in attendance were elected city officials, including State Rep. Cherelle Parker, State Rep. Dwight Evans and City Councilwoman Cindy Bass.
The Facilities Master Plan proposes closing Germantown High School, 40 East High St., McCloskey Elementary School, 8500 Pickering St., and Fulton Elementary School, 60 E. Haines St. Parkway Northwest High School, 7500 Germantown Ave., will be co-located at Leeds Middle School, 1100 E. Mt. Pleasant Ave. Fifth and sixth grade students from Emlen Elementary School, 6501 Chew Ave., which is currently a Kindergarden through sixth-grade school, will transfer to Leeds Middle School.
Germantown resident Gerald Wright, whose daughter attends J.S. Jenks Elementary School, said he came to the meeting because he was concerned about the impact the district's school closures would have on his daughter's school. Wright said he would love to be able to send his daughter to his neighborhood school, but said the fact was that the neighborhood school does not provide "a quality education in a safe environment."
"I think [my] neighborhood school could be great with the right resources and planning," Wright said.
He said this immense closure of neighborhood schools looks like the district is "abandoning our neighborhood schools." Wright said the district decided prior to Hite's coming to expand charter schools.
"They said they had no money, but they actually spent $137 million to expand charter schools when they didn't have any money," he said. "So if they don't have the money now, perhaps, they can make the same commitment to spend $137 million to improve the quality of schools that they are responsible for."
Wright said that when the district closes neighborhood schools like McCloskey and Fulton, it's going to be under a lot of pressure to increase the enrollment at schools like Jenks because parents are going to be looking for good, quality schools with engaging programs.
"Jenks is a desirable place to be because if a child needs extra attention or encouragement, Jenks' teachers and staff offer that extra support," Wright said.
He said he worries that the district will crowd too many kids in a classroom and students that need extra attention or have special needs won't get the support they need to succeed.
"If a child needs extra support – and doesn't get it – when the child starts to fall behind, the solution often in the past has been to get rid of that student," he said.
He added that parents feel like they can't trust anybody [in the administration] to answer their questions and listen to their concerns.
"The meeting is not really set-up to have a dialogue," Wright said. "Parents are trying to get their point across, but after two minutes someone cuts them off and says 'OK that's it.'"
"Unfortunately we have a district that is being defined by the worst schools, but there are several exceptional schools with great programs like W.B. Saul High School. It's one of a kind. Why not build another one? Those are the kinds of questions I think people really ask."
Wright said a lot of parents' distrust comes from the desperation they feel to get their kids into a quality school and the district's past history.
"The plan is only about how you [the district] can save $29 million – but there's no guarantee that you will," Wright said. "And if you do save $29 million what are you going to do with it"?
Fay Claud, of Mt. Airy, called the meeting "a formality."
"I feel like these meetings are bogus," Claud said.
The audience burst into applause when Claud, who doesn't have children in the Philadelphia school district, told the panel, "You keep saying you don't have any money – the city can find money to imprison our young folks, but you can't find money to educate our youth."
Another round of applause broke out when she added that government officials needed to find money to educate children or face the consequences at the next election.
Parents also sounded off on the issue of safety.
One of the district's recommendations is to close Germantown High School and transfer those students to Roxborough High School.
A Germantown High School parent asked what protocols will the district have in place to deal with rivalries and safety issues as students relocate. Hite said the school district will work with community groups, school staff and administrators, students and school police to create plans that address these issues.
Mt. Airy resident Lya Redman, whose son is in first grade at McCloskey Elementary School, also voiced concerns about safety and overcrowding.
"We want what every parent wants to have – our kids go to a safe school and to have a quality education," Redman told the panel. "My son has ADHD, and he is thriving at McCloskey. Closing schools and pulling kids out of school where they are excelling is just mind boggling to me. There is going to be a mass exodus of students from schools because parents are going to take their children somewhere else.
Hite said Redman made "a valid point" about why parents are "choosing other options" to educate their children.
"The bigger part of this is how do we create better environments for our children regardless of where they go to school," Hite said. "How do we have high quality academic programs that provide students with enrichment activities like music and art? We have to make the whole district better, and we can't do that when we have so many seats that do not have students in them."
In a later interview, Redman, who is a counselor by profession, said no one is talking about providing the support services that children with special needs require. She added that the district doesn't have a plan in place to help students adjust.
"My husband and I have already decided to move out of the area if the district decides to close McCloskey," Redman said.
Sheila E. Johnson, of Mt. Airy, said she was adamantly opposed to closing any of the district's schools.
"We need to enhance them and make them better so that people want to come back to public education," Johnson said.
She added that she was absolutely against any merging of schools.
A parent of a student at Germantown High School said, "at what cost are we going to save money?" She reiterated parents earlier concerns about safety. She said the district is only going to cause more problems by asking teenagers to "cross [different gang] territories."
Several parents said that merging of high schools like Germantown , Martin Luther King and Roxborough will only cause teen violence and dropout rates to escalate.
District's argument for closing schools
Hite said the district had recurring expenses that "exceed its revenues by over $250 million per year, amounting to a $1.35 billion dollar deficit over the next five years."
In Hite's recently released "Action Plan v1.0," which outlines the district's critical priorities, he said the plan "emphasizes solutions to basic problems based on evidence and facts."
"This is only the first step," Hite said. "This will be a living document shaped by the voices of our staff and stakeholders, and the needs of our students and families.
"This deficit was created by a confluence of factors – reduced state funding, a broken system of local tax assessment, charter-driven growth in the total public school population without new revenue and failure to reduce spending commensurate with the reduction in revenue," Hite stated in the plan.
At the meeting, Hite said recommendations outlined in the Facilities Master Plan were not set in stone.
Dannielle Floyd, interim senior vice president of capital programs, said the district has established a place on its website for people to submit proposals. One such proposal submitted by a parent from Fulton Elementary School suggested expanding Fulton to a K through eighth-grade school and relocating the program to Germantown High.
Sharon Mitchell, a member of the Student Advisory Committee at Fulton, handed Hite a petition and asked if the district received the proposal. He answered yes and added that the district plans to evaluate it and the other proposals submitted.
Floyd added that the district had "every intention to consider all proposals submitted." She said the district was happy that people were taking an interest in the process and providing "constructive feedback."
"The one thing I think that is important is regardless of where children are from, regardless of their homes, their background, regardless of their [parents'] income, they must have opportunities to excel so they can enter into the work world or college of their choice, Hite said."One of the things I would love to see for the city of Philadelphia is for us to once again become a model for how students are receiving a high quality education in district schools regardless of where they are from."
Before the meeting concluded, two fifth grade students from McCloskey, Kayla Gibson and Zykira Stroman, pleaded with school officials to keep their school open.
Eleven-year-old Gibson said, "we understand you have issues with the budget," but added that McCloskey provided its students with enrichment programs, extracurricular activities and the educational support they needed.
"These reasons prove why McCloskey is perfectly fine the way it is," she said.
It was a message that resonated with many students in the room.
The next Northwest MFP will be held on Thursday, Jan. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Martin Luther King High School, 6100 Stenton Ave. The School Reform Commission is scheduled to vote on the district recommendation in March.

UNC neuroscientists awarded $2 million to study roots of cognitive disabilities
UNC researchers will attempt to understand the cognitive disabilities in patients with RAS/MARK syndromes.
Media contact: Les Lang, (919) 966-9366, email@example.com
Thursday, April 19, 2012
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – In the developing fetus, a number of genes encode the components of a powerful intracellular signaling pathway known as ERK/MAPK. Mutations in these genes have been shown to cause neurodevelopmental delays, cardiac and craniofacial abnormalities, and autism-related disorders.
Collectively, these disorders are known as "Rasopathies," or "RAS/MAPK syndromes," a term that incorporates the signaling pathway, RAS, that regulates the expression of autism-linked genes.
With a new 5-year grant totaling roughly $2 million from the National Institutes of Health, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Neuroscience Center (UNC-NC) will attempt to understand the cognitive disabilities in patients with these syndromes. Co-investigators in this work are UNC-NC director William Snider, MD, professor of neurology and cell and molecular physiology, and neuroscientist Benjamin Philpot, PhD, associate professor of cell and molecular physiology.
"We plan to disrupt this ERK/MAPK pathway in specific cell types in the developing brains of mice," Snider says. "We will also generate a mouse model that allows reversal of ERK/MAPK signaling abnormalities in postnatal animals. Ability to manipulate the pathway in postnatal life may enable the development of new treatment strategies. "

(b) A banking institution may purchase its equity securities in an amount up to ten percent of its net worth in any twelve-month period or restructure its ownership interests for a legitimate corporate purpose without the prior approval of the commissioner, so long as the bank remains well-capitalized under federal regulatory guidelines before and after the purchase or restructuring, the bank is well-managed, the bank is not the subject of any unresolved supervisory issues and the transaction does not constitute a change in control of the banking institution that must be reported pursuant to section four of this article. The banking institution must apply for approval for the purchase of equity securities, on a form prescribed by the commissioner, if the gross consideration for the purchase, when aggregated with the net consideration paid by the banking institution for all such purchases during the preceding twelve months, is equal to ten percent or more of the bank's net worth. For purposes of this section, "net consideration" is the gross consideration paid by the banking institution for all of its equity securities purchased during the period minus the gross consideration received for all of its equity securities sold during the period. The commissioner shall approve or deny the application after considering whether the proposed purchase would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

June is Torture Awareness Month and the National Religious Campaign Against Torture is making sure the topic remains in the forefront.
The Rev. Richard Killmer, the campaign's executive director, and the organization's supporters are planning a witness during the noon hour June 11 at the White House. They will bring one primary message to President Barack Obama: Establish an independent commission to investigate the use of torture by U.S. interrogators on detainees held since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began.
While the anti-torture campaign has welcomed Obama's executive order banning the use of torture and calling for the closing of the U.S. Army prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by January 2010, the organization maintains that the country must confront its past and the best way to do so is through a commission of inquiry.
Representatives of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture believe that by looking at what the country has done in the past, America can move forward and take steps so that torture never again becomes a part of U.S. practice.
Eight heads of faith groups are expected to participate in the June 11 witness. People from as far away as California are expected to join them.
The religious leaders will hold a press conference a couple of hours before the event to explain why they feel a commission of inquiry is necessary.
The anti-torture campaign has been invited to send a delegation to meet with White House officials after the vigil. Representatives plan to deliver a letter to the president outlining the reasons for their call.
In case you're wondering, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has not taken a stance on such a commission.
On the other hand the bishops have supported the president's executive order and are working to enact the order into law, said Stephen Colecchi, director of the bishops' Office of International Justice and Peace.

FRESNO – Continuing a push to improve transportation in the Central Valley, Caltrans and the Fresno County Transportation Authority today broke ground on the next stage of a project that will add three much-needed miles to the Kings Canyon Expressway (State Route 180).
"We're building a faster, safer route for people commuting from eastern Fresno County, farmers hauling produce, and motorists visiting Kings Canyon and the Sequoia National Park," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
The Kings Canyon Expressway Project (Segment Two) will upgrade a 2.7 mile section of SR-180 from a two-lane highway into a four-lane expressway from just east of Academy Avenue to Smith Avenue near Centerville.
Caltrans completed the first segment of the project in 2009, widening six miles of SR-180 between Temperance Avenue and Academy Avenue. Segment Three will expand the route from Smith Avenue to just east of Frankwood Avenue. When the entire project is completed 12 miles of SR-180 will have been upgraded to a four-lane expressway.
The price tag for the second segment is $41.6 million, including $11.5 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, more than $16 billion in Proposition 1B funding has been put to work statewide. State and local partnership programs and Measure "C", a half-cent local sales tax dedicated for transportation, also contributed towards the overall cost of this project.Segment Two is scheduled to be completed by spring 2015.

It may seem glamorous to be a slick advertising executive like Jon Hamm on the TV show "Mad Men" or like Michael Douglas's power broker character in the movie "Wall Street."
But times change and the professions that seemed alluring in the 1980s may not be so glamorous now.
Job listing and advice site CareerCast.com has come out with its annual listof the most overrated jobs – and the most underrated jobs.
We've all been to a restaurant we'd deem "overrated," or met that guy in the office we'd call overrated. So what makes a job overrated?
"Poor outlook for future growth, long hours, stress, and a multitude of new candidates entering the industry make it especially challenging to break into many of our overrated careers," said Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.com. "We find jobs that are perceived as being really great for one reason or another and kind of show -- they're not as great as you think."
So, the next time you encounter a woman who boasts, "Well, my son is a ______," maybe you say, "Hmmm. Not so much."
Click ahead for the 12 Most Overrated Jobs of 2012.
