UN details 'chilling' Syria sarin attackAgence France-Presse . United States
The United Nations on Monday revealed what it called "chilling" details of a sarin gas attack in Syria, leaving the major powers to battle over who was responsible.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon condemned the use of chemical weapons in Syria as "a war crime" as the country's conflict again spilled into neighboring nations, with Turkey saying it had shot down a Syrian military helicopter.
UN experts said they had gathered "clear and convincing evidence" that surface-to-surface rockets took sarin gas into the opposition-held Damascus suburb of Ghouta on August 21.
The United States, which had threatened a military strike on Syria over the attack, says more than 1,400 people were killed in Ghouta.
Ban said the report prepared by the experts "makes for chilling reading."
He added that the use of sarin had been proved "unequivocally and objectively" and that the Ghouta attack was "the most signficant" with chemical weapons since Saddam Hussein unleashed poison gas in Halabja, Iraq, in 1988, killing thousands.
Ban described how doctors treated civilians with no external signs of injuries in the streets of Ghouta in the hours after the attack and that the weather conditions had maximized the casualties.
"The downward movement of air would have allowed the gas to easily penetrate the basements and lower levels of buildings and other structures where many people were seeking shelter," Ban said.
"The environmental, chemical and medical samples we have collected provide clear and convincing evidence that surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used" in Ghouta, said the report by UN inspectors who were in Syria when the attack was staged.
The experts concluded that "chemical weapons have been used in the ongoing conflict between the parties in the Syrian Arab Republic, also against civilians including children on a relatively large scale."
A separate UN-mandated independent human rights inquiry announced separately on Monday that it was investigating 14 alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria.
Ban would not say who had carried out the attack.
"We may all have our own thoughts on this, but I would simply say that this was a grave crime and those responsible must be brought to justice as soon as possible," Ban told reporters.
On Friday, he said Assad has "committed many crimes against humanity."
The United States, Britain and France all insisted that the report shows Assad's forces had used the weapons.
The US ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, highlighted the use of a 122mm rocket, which she said only government forces had.
She also pointed to the "high quality" sarin used in the attack.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said there was "no doubt" that government forces were to blame, while British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the report made it "abundantly clear" the Syrian regime was behind the attack.
Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin, however, said after a Security Council meeting on the report that there should be more investigation into who was responsible.
Moscow has sided with Assad in blaming opposition rebels for the chemical assault.
The UN experts' report will now become a key weapon in a Security Council battle over how much of a threat must be made against Assad to make him disarm.
France and Britain will soon send a draft resolution to other Security Council members demanding a threat of sanctions if Assad does not keep to a disarmament plan and for the chemical attacks to be referred to the International Criminal Court, diplomats said.
The council is expected to start negotiations this week.
The French, US and British foreign ministers called for a "strong" resolution after a meeting in Paris.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said: "If Assad fails to comply with the terms of this framework, make no mistake we are all agreed, and that includes Russia, that there will be consequences."
Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov agreed a plan on Saturday under which Syria's chemical weapons would be eliminated by mid-2014.
Russia has agreed the plans must be backed by a Security Council resolution but rejects any move to include the threat of force into a UN text.
Lavrov said such threats could kill off hopes of a peace conference on the 30-month-old conflict in which more than 110,000 people, according to activists.
Kerry was due to meet Thursday to discuss the issue with his counterpart from China, which has welcomed the agreement but has sided with Russia in its resolve to veto any UN Security Council resolution against Syria.
Fighting has worsened in Syria as the diplomatic wrangling goes on and Turkey said it shot down a Syrian military helicopter on Monday after it entered Turkish airspace.
The Syrian MI-17 helicopter was detected two kilometers (1.2 miles) inside Turkish airspace and shot down by two F-16 jets five minutes later after failing to heed warnings, Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc told reporters.
"It was continuously warned by our air defense," Arinc said, adding there was no information about the fate of its crew because the helicopter fell on Syrian soil.
Arinc said Turkey has changed its military rules of engagement in response to repeated gunfire from the Syrian sid.

The first-generation adopters of Business Process Management (BPM) have achieved considerable benefits from a work automation focus, and have experienced tangible improvements in efficiency and service levels. But the full scale of benefits of an integrated, comprehensive BPM deployment remains elusive. First-generation BPM adopters, for the most part, have automated existing workflow and service levels – a benefit, yes, but far short of the actual and achievable BPM contribution. BPM is not only about automating a silo of work or deploying new technology; it is about orchestrating interactions and precise cross-departmental collaboration. BPM maximized means the discipline is embedded throughout the organization and is viewed as a way to continually improve business processes to drive real, tangible financial benefits. It is an outcome-driven mindset that pushes continuous improvement and prioritization.
There exist several tools to evaluate where an organization resides relative to BPM maturity, and these maturity models are absolutely helpful as a starting point to assist with BPM strategy development and operational focus. However, the true test for determining the strength of BPM in the organization, and hence optimal value being realized, is whether the business has relied on the metrics produced by the BPM initiative and views BPM not as a project, but as a constant, ongoing effort to drive continuous process improvement with efficiency, lower cost, and greater speed.
Further, the focus for second-generation BPM will be all about driving predictable business outcomes with a sincere focus on the customer. This will require examining the already automated (or soon to be) processes from a customer’s perspective while simultaneously reexamining end-to-end efficiency levels. The second-generation BPM organization will take an outside-in view of core processes. It will ensure that the original BPM deployment did not simply automate an inefficient workflow that does little to improve the customer experience, in a somewhat costlier fashion. The expanded BPM effort will (or must) continue to ensure a high level of collaboration between IT and the business, using BPM to drive the right business outcome, on a consistent basis, across the enterprise.
For many companies striving to deliver a truly customer-centric experience, the process has been internally challenged, expensive, and has generated a result that was far short of the ultimate goals that were envisioned. The reason for this less-than-desirable result is principally attributable to four dominant barriers: deploying customer centricity as a project vs. a permanent internal expertise; focusing the effort on internal processes vs. a customer process focus; inadequate or minimal use of the right data and analytics to measure success; and a surprisingly high level of management hubris. To realize greater efficiencies, improve customer service levels and retention, and expand product offering conversions, many firms have moved to adopt BPM concepts to guide internal functions to a more customer-centric orientation. The ultimate goal begins with the customer, and BPM drives the business process to consistently deliver on that ultimate goal. BPM also allows rapid deployment of change throughout the organization when those customer demands shift, thereby keeping the customer satisfied, retaining business and improving the likelihood of future purchase, not to mention promoter opportunity.
The initial, first-generation focus of most BPM deployments has concentrated on instituting technology to automate inefficient workflows with little to no attention on the ultimate business outcome and the true customer experience. The optimal benefit of BPM remains elusive for most firms, until this execution gap is addressed, and an embedded, continuous business process improvement capability is resourced and championed as a competitive advantage throughout the enterprise.
Has your organization realized the optimal benefit of BPM?

May 26, 2011
The tornado deposited Dorothy and Toto in the Technicolor Land of Oz, but the denizens of Joplin have no such fate. Devastation and heartbreak are all around. They must wonder what will become of their town and their lives.
One of DC's sister lives in Neosho, a town just 12 miles south of Joplin. Just before the twister struck, she and her husband had driven north past Joplin to begin a trip to Canada. That's nowhere near a close call. Thousands of people had the closest of close calls Sunday.
What providence spares one life and ends another? At least we know we will never know.
People in Oklahoma and Missouri know how to live with tornadoes -- just not ordinarily with tornadoes so calamitous. Those interviewed right after the tornado struck were still in a state of shock and probably still are. For those of us watching on TV this summons up our own experiences with shock, with experiencing a world turned upside down. You feel as if you are in a dream.
Life in a dream can be surreal. Things are unfamiliar. Dreams are illogical, can be nightmarish, can overload the senses, can be grotesque, horrifying, inexplicable, unsettling, inspiring, confusing, heart-wrenching. Then you wake up. But this is Joplin's reality.
In dreams, the landscape and the rules are topsy-turvy. Life in Joplin, Mo., seems that way today.
Jungian psychology holds that the figures we encounter in dreams can both represent aspects of ourselves and also can have counterparts in the waking world. That dreams, whether we can interpret them or not, are messages from another realm to our souls.
If this dream is unintelligible, no one in Joplin is unchanged by it. Dreams ask questions from our deepest selves, the Jungian psychologist and writer Jill Mellick says. They ask us to open our hearts.
Things were black and white in Kansas. Not so much in Oz. Oh, the bad witches are ugly and the good witch is lovely, but the wizard is no Merlin. Oz sparkles with greens and ruby slippers, but flying monkeys are about. Fortunately, three familiar-looking helpers representing Dorothy's own intelligence, heart and courage come to her aid.
Hindu deities personify the divine in each being. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are all different aspects of the Supreme Being. Hindus invoke these mythological psychological archetypes just as Christians pray for guidance.
Calling on the intelligence, heart and courage in themselves and others eventually will restore life of some kind in Joplin. In the past decade, people in Indonesia, New Orleans, Haiti and Japan have discovered how slow and grievous the process is. It calls for faith, another divine quality that exists in us all. For now, the world is upside down.
Sam Blackwell is a former reporter for the Southeast Missourian.

Excell Combats Economy, Market Shifts with Fujifilm Digital Print Solutions
VALHALLA, NY—Feb. 15, 2011—Fujifilm North America announced that commercial printer Excell Color Graphics of Fort Wayne, ID, has installed digital production and wide-format solutions as part of its strategy to remain competitive. In October 2010, the printer installed a Xerox Color 800 press to accommodate quick turnaround, short-run jobs, and in December it added a Fujifilm Acuity Advance HS UV inkjet flatbed printer, enabling the previously traditional offset shop to produce posters and signage.
“The shift in the economy prompted us to start implementing digital solutions into our workflow to supplement the loss of offset volume,” said Tom Parrot, president, Excell Color Graphics. “Currently, 20 percent of our volume is printed digitally, but 40 percent of the jobs that come through the shop are now printed digitally.”
In 2007, Excell first explored digital printing with the installation of a Xerox DocuColor 5000 press. The Color 800 has now replaced that machine. The device’s primary function in the shop is to fulfill orders for short-run marketing collateral—including postcards and proposals—along with four-color printed envelopes that would normally be printed offset and need to then be converted.
“A perfect example of how this device is ramping up production for us is that this afternoon I received a call at 1 p.m. to produce 100, 28-page photo books by 5 p.m.,” notes Parrot. “Before installing the Xerox 800, I would not have been able to do this, but now I can offer our customers enhanced services for quick turnaround, short-run fulfillment.”
A survey of Parrot’s customers also showed a unanimous need for a wide-format solution which prompted the printer to install the Acuity flatbed inkjet press. While Parrot admits the company is still experimenting with the capabilities of the device and the substrates it can print on, he is confident that the wide-format printer is going to open the door to new markets and enable the shop to better serve its current customer base.

On February 18, hundreds of women of every age will gather at the Parkview Mirro Center for Research and Innovation for two tremendous events focused on cardiovascular wellness, the Her Heart Lunch and Learn and the Love Your Heart Expo. Guests will enjoy free or discounted screenings, various female-focused health learning centers, fabulous food and impactful presentations from Parkview physicians.
Why is it so important women attend.
“Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women and the vast majority of cardiovascular events (heart attack and stroke) are preventable. Prevention starts with awareness. The Love Your Heart and Her Heart events are intended to raise awareness of this incredibly important issue and begin the process of prevention.”
“The biggest misconception is that heart disease is mostly a male problem and only older women get heart disease as a natural process of aging. Heart disease is an equal opportunity disease effecting men and women equally at all ages. Many women believe that their No. 1 killer is breast cancer when, in reality, 1 in every 7 will die from breast cancer while 1 in every 2 will die from heart disease.
Most important piece of advice.
“Know your numbers. One cannot be an active participant in the management of their health and prevention if they are unaware of their individual risk factors. These events will inform attendees of risk factors and ways to mitigate the risks.”
The ultimate goal.
“To put myself out of a job! I cannot do this alone and it begins with the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The goal of Love Your Heart and Her Heart is to create awareness of the issue and develop strategies for prevention and to ultimately put me out of business. I will be a successful physician if I can say we made that happen.”
Reserve your spot for the Love Your Heart Expo online or call 844-897-0369 to RSVP to Her Heart Lunch and Learn.

Moran, the 38-year-old Blackburn Rovers stopper, was in the frame to play alongside Paul McGrath at the heart of the Irish defence. Now, with Alan Kernaghan off form and Moran succumbing to a hamstring strain, Coventry's Phil Babb looks likely to win his sixth cap against Baggio, Signori and the rest. 'I might even be doubtful for the second game against Mexico,' Moran said. 'The recovery time is unpredictable.'
With Cascarino struggling to overcome a calf strain, Jack Charlton, the Republic's manager, has to choose between the 35-year-old John Aldridge and his former Tranmere Rovers partner, Tommy Coyne of Motherwell, if he persists with his lone-striker strategy. Kelly, the Wolves forward who was not expected to make the starting line-up, is out with a back injury.
Yesterday, the rest of the squad played a full-scale practice match against a team from Rawlings College, in Orlando, supplemented by the former Manchester United winger, Gordon Hill, who now lives in Florida, and Ireland's reserve goalkeeper, Alan Kelly.
Two games, two defeats and no goals was the end result of Northern Ireland's trip to the States to provide warm-up opposition for a pair of World Cup finalists.
After losing 2-0 to Colombia the previous weekend, Bryan Hamilton's men were beaten 3-0 by Mexico in Miami on Saturday. Luis Garcia, the Atletico Madrid striker, scored twice in the first half and Carlos Hermosillo added the third after the break.
MEXICO: Campos (UNAM); Ambriz (Necaxa), Gutierrez (Atlante), J Ramirez (UNAM), R Ramirez (Santos Torreon), Suarez (UNAM), Bernal (Toluca), Olmo (Veracruz), Alves (America), L Garcia (Atletico Madrid), Sanchez (Logrones). Substitutes: Galindo (CD Guadalajara) for L Garcia, 47; Hermosillo (Cruz Azul), for Sanchez, 69.
NORTHERN IRELAND: Fettis (Hull City); Fleming (Barnsley), Worthington (Sheffield Wednesday), Taggart (Barnsley), Donaghy (Cheslea), Magilton (Oxford), Hughes (Strasbourg), Wilson (Notts County), Quinn (Reading), O'Boyle (Dunfermline), Lomas (Manchester City). Substitutes: Wright (Nottingham Forest) for Fettis, h-t; Lennon (Crewe) for Wilson, h-t; Dowie (Southampton) for Quinn, h-t; Patterson (Crystal Palace) for Magilton, h-t; Morrow (Arsenal) for Fleming, 74.
Andy Walker, offloaded by Celtic to Bolton Wanderers two and a half years ago, will return to Parkhead today as the club's first major recruit since the changes in ownership and management last season. Sold by Liam Brady for pounds 160,000, the 29-year-old striker is likely to cost Lou Macari at least pounds 500,000 to buy back.Reuse content

ALDER LINING 15x90mm SETAlder lining Alder wood becomes very popular in the building and construction of sauna ot guest houses. The reason - a very low thermal conductivity, strength, allowing alder to become a great material for wooden design In addition, the alder finishing has a low hygroscopic, absorb very low moisture . The combination of these qualities with durability makes alder wood the best option for the construction of the sauna. There is another very interesting quality that distinguishes alder finishing from other methods. Alder has an unusual color, like a colored coffee wood.

Manchester United have sounded out Marseille over a move for young full-back Benjamin Mendy.
David Moyes needs to replace Patrice Evra, who is out of contract this summer, and reports in France claim he has targeted Mendy as a cheaper alternative to Southampton’s Luke Shaw.
Mendy, 19, has impressed at Marseille this season, making 23 outings in Ligue 1. He was linked with Arsenal and Sunderland last year before joining Marseille from Le Havre in July.
France Football believe United’s interest in the left-back is serious and that they have already had an offer of around £5m rejected by Marseille.
Mendy has represented France at Under-17 and Under-19 levels.

Disturbing but I’m glad that I watched it. Pet Fooled takes a deep dive into the commercial pet food industry and features a few veterinarians who discuss the industry.
Now, it’s not 100% clear that there aren’t some alternative reasons for producing this movie that goes against the pet food industry so I view with an open mind (and maybe some skepticism), but overall I think it provides some good reasons to do a lot of research into what you are feeding your pet. It is definitely worth watching; it’s well done and engaging.
Here are some key learnings:
- Physiological Fact: Stomach Acid will Kill Bacteria in Raw Meat - Dogs have a very acidic stomach acid levels. The idea that raw food can carry bacteria that may be detrimental to a dogs' health is negated by that fact. Bacteria cannot survive in that environment. Also, think about what wolves, coyotes, and wild-dogs consume in nature. Not only do they eat raw meat, but also carrion.
- Dog Food Industry is Run by Candy Bar Companies - The same companies that heavily use sugar/sweeteners, preservatives, and fake radioactive colors are making our dogs’ food! Yep! They know how to make food addictive and low-cost.
- The Dog Food Industry has Only Been Around for 100 Years - Prior to that people fed their dogs raw food, canned meat or table scraps. During WWII the US government needed tin to make ammunition and therefore couldn’t use cans for dog food anymore. Dry kibble was then introduced as it used alternative ways to package food.
- Dry Food is Convenient - Once dry kibble was introduced it was easily the most convenient and affordable means of food. It still is. However, domestic dogs/wolves eat moist, rich foods. As do cats. Recently, dry cat food has been linked to kidney disease because of its high carbohydrate base. Raw protein may be easier to break down than dry kibble.
- 2007 Recall Killed Thousands of Dogs - In 2007 many dogs died from “tainted” food. Food imported from China was the culprit. As dogs were getting ill and dying from eating certain dry foods, the company began testing the contents of the food. A chemical called Melamine was found in dog food, and is not an ingredient that should be consumed. Poor regulation, monitoring and accountability led to far more injuries and deaths than should have ever been allowed.
- Protein Content Doesn’t Need to be Meat - The protein in dog food can come from many different sources. Wheat, gluten, meat by-products are all considered protein sources…..but they may not be what’s best for dogs' health.
- By-Product is Leftover yuckiness - When a dog food bag says chicken, beef, lamb, goat, pork by-product they are using the leftovers of the animal. Not only is it gross, but it may not be of good nutritional value.
- Packaging can be deceptive - When a dog food says “WITH” it only needs to contain a small 3% of that product. When it says “dinner” or “formula” it only needs to contain 25% of that product. When a package says beef, lamb, salmon, etc. flavor it doesn’t even have to include that meat source. The word “natural” can be put on the package even thought it has been rendered through chemical processes that are not natural. Organic can be placed on the label even if only 3% of the product is organic!!! Although many of the bags have appealing labels and keywords, the ingredients are far from what any consumer would assume the food is made from.
- Some Vets Aren’t Taught to Research Raw - It is saddening to know that the people who love dogs just as much as us are being fooled too. Students in veterinary school are taught about nutrition from “kibble” companies. Take a look at Ohio Vet school website with a direct link to Purina...
Guest speakers come in to talk to students and give out free product. Some companies even give products to vet students during their schooling. Who wouldn’t want to take free dog food as a college student? Rarely are students taught about raw food diet benefits and drawbacks.
Do your research and be smart about what products you pick for your furry loved ones. There is confusing information everywhere so take a practical approach (think simple, understandable ingredients with safe sources) to picking treats and food for your pup.

Kiln Firing Glass:
Glass Fusing Book One
Kiln Firing Glass: Glass Fusing Book One, by Boyce Lundstrom.
Contains chapters on: Tools and supplies, glass compatibility, annealing,
design, kilns, kiln firing cycles, slumping, use of molds.
We are entering an exciting new era in the 4000-year history of glass.
Twentieth century technology makes it attractive for artists and craftsmen
to find a medium of expression in ancient glass processes. Kiln technology,
lightweight refractories, the silicon chip, and other modern engineering
innovations make a return to old processes, such as glass fusing,
practical and not limited to the production of functional objects
or other time-honored forms. Exploration into the full potential of
glass as a material has never been as exciting as it is today.
This book endeavors to point out that glass fusing is within the realm
of the individual artist and craftsperson.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has completed the Mother Tongue Survey of India (MTSI) with field videography of the country’s 576 languages.
It aims to conduct surveys of mother tongues that are returned consistently across 2 or more Census decades.
It also records the linguistic features of select languages.
The National Informatics Centre (NIC) and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) is currently documenting and preserving the linguistic data of the surveyed mother tongues in video-audio files.
As per an analysis of 2011 linguistic census data, more than 19,500 languages or dialects are spoken in India as mother tongues.
These were grouped into 121 mother tongues after the census data underwent linguistic scrutiny, editing and rationalisation.
43.6 per cent of the population (52.8 crore people) declared Hindi to be their mother tongue.
The second highest spoken mother tongue is Bengali.
9.7 crore people or 8 per cent of the population speak the language.

Go Time! gives listeners an earful on its new IV album via 18 hard-hitting power pop tracks. As the title suggests, this is the sixth release from the Chicago-based band, following 2015’s Ratsel. These latest songs carry on the Go Time! tradition of matching lead vocalist-guitarist Scott Niekelski’s distinctive, almost talky delivery to consistently inventive arrangements.
Niekelski wrote all the material, and his outlook is bleak whether he’s describing crumbling relationships or trying to make sense of the everyday work world. “We are sinking fast,” he notes on the edgy but melodic “On The Brink.” Elsewhere, there are lines like, “It all turns to dust,” “The prognosis is rotten,” and “You became a slave.”
As for the music, Niekelski, working with bandmates drummer Steve Grzenia. bassist Mark Market, and guitarist Paul Schmidt, never seems to run out of ideas. “No More Tomorrow” kicks off with Marketti’s slinky bass playing before the band breaks into a full gallop, and there’s a dash of Latin flavor on “Old Habits Die Hard.” The high-speed “Way Out” bristles with a punk intensity that’s reminiscent of fellow Chicagoans The Effigies, and Go Time! adroitly weaves acoustic guitar into the electric arrangements of “Broken” and “Crash Land.”
Go Time! has a record release show for IV coming up in January 28 at the Uptown Lounge.

Grand Junction, Co. had the best of intentions when it decided to invest in several natural gas-powered trash trucks. However, due to the large tank size required for CNG storage, the town’s trash trucks have had nearly two feet added to their length. Since CNG is less dense than liquid fuels, the size of the fuel tank must be increased in order to make up for lost range.
“Drivers of the new garbage trucks that run on compressed natural gas recently purchased by the city are unable to navigate some tight city alleyways, according to Grand Junction Public Works spokeswoman Kristin Winn.” About 160 residents used to be able to push their trash cans to the alley for pick-up, but now have to haul their cans to the front of their homes.
In response to a few complaints, the city has started offering elderly or disabled citizens the option of requesting help with their cans. Despite the problems, however, the city has plans to add two more CNG trash trucks to its fleet in the coming year.
As for trying to navigate the alleyways, the city is “…still kind of looking at this and modifying the trucks,” according to Winn.
Note: While it is true that natural gas vehicles offer about a 29% overall reduction in emissions versus gasoline engines, the article’s author overstated this figure when she said that they “produce almost no greenhouse gases.”

Moreover, it makes a capital mizen- sail when going before the wind; and MBT Shoes Clearance is a com¬plete shield to you and your man, from the shaking of a wet dog, should you have no fol¬lowing-boat to rid you of this annoyance.
Here, I conceive, is all the covering that can be required for real wildfowl shooting ; and as for the little pastime of tramping the water- meadows, or waiting for the flight, I need only observe, that wearing a hat, and particularly a black one, MBT should be avoided, and drab is, on the whole, about the best colour. For the latter pursuit, the shooter should have a gunning- coat, lined with shag, that has pockets conve¬nient for loading; a flap to fall over his lock, and a quaker's collar, which will not interfere with his gun. [The pattern for this coat, and the recipe for the Sou'wester, I have given to Messrs. Christie and Davies, 49, Poland Street.] This coat, with a shawl handkerchief, should be worn over his shooting jacket; and, of course, not put on till he ceases to be in mo¬tion ; or he might, otherwise, get heated, and take jimmy choo shoes cold.
If he wishes to sit down, never let him be so imprudent as to sit on the damp ground, but have either a jimmy choo uggs hand-basket or a bag fiill of straw, or something of this kind ; and jimmy choo MBT Shoes the lower his seat, the better he will be able to shoot at fowl when they are going over his head.

States Vie to Stand Out in Race to Top Proposals
States' Aggressive Grant Bids Must Run Reviewer Gantlet
As peer reviewers for the U.S. Department of Education begin to comb through the thousands of pages of applications for $4 billion in federal Race to the Top Fund grants, they’ll be under pressure to determine which are most worthy of funding: those that promise the most, or those with the best chance of delivering.
In a competition whose criteria were tightly outlined, applications from 40 states and the District of Columbia contained many common themes. But the plans differ markedly on the details, and in interviews with Education Week , state officials highlighted reform proposals they believed might set them apart in the scoring process.
Among other areas, those officials noted factors such as how heavily they plan to weight student-achievement data in teacher and principal evaluations, highlighted the percentage of local school boards and unions that signed on to the plans, and promised to be even tougher than the federal guidelines in seeking to...

It has been a week now since our ThirdRiver team attended the Jubilee Professional Conference at the Westin Convention Center. And now I have had some time to think about the conference’s impact on myself and our team. Great leaders care about the people they work with and for. This is something I strive for in my professional and personal lives. Jubilee Professional works to get speakers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss how they integrate work and faith in their respective professions. We spend half a day in a ballroom full of professionals--some in their first year out in the working world, others of us veterans in our fields. Our team, featuring a range of backgrounds and levels of experience, fit right in.
Looking back on our time listening to, learning from, and connecting with other business professionals in Pittsburgh and from around the country, I was reminded of the importance of having a greater purpose at work. Every speaker was working in a field where they saw themselves making a difference. It didn’t matter if the individual working in insurance sales, radio, or physicatry. If he made documentaries about poverty, ran a seminary, or she raised thousands of dollars for clean water. One wrote songs, another wrote speeches, many wrote books. But all saw themselves as playing a role in something bigger.
This greater purpose was not just present for those who worked in the nonprofit sector. Individuals in the for-profit sector saw themselves as doing something important as well. These were leaders working for a cause. They gathered people daily--employees, volunteers, donors--to make valuable changes to the world around them. The leaders invited those around them to contribute to something greater than themselves.
I have friends and clients that wake up on a Monday morning wondering if the work they will do that day will accomplish anything. Work without a goal or greater purpose behind can feel like digging a hole at the beach--every time the tide rushes in it fills the hole with more water and sand.
So what made these leaders stand out? What made their work important enough that they could get others to rally with them?
Each of the speakers relayed how their work helps people. It wasn’t about what awards they had gotten, places they had traveled, or things they had done. What made each person’s work great and inspirational were the people they worked with and for. This may not come as a surprise to many since relationships are key in getting jobs and creating a great work environment. I came away remembering that for servant leaders and great leaders, relationships are the job.

Why Candace Parker should be a WNBA All-Star in possibly her last season, how fans can vote
Candace Parker is playing in her 15th and possibly last WNBA season.
The former Lady Vols great was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2008 and has won two WNBA titles and was voted the WNBA Finals MVP in 2016. Parker, 36, has been a WNBA All-Star six times, including in 2021, and is making a case to make back-to-back appearances.
Fan votes account for 50% of the total vote, with current players and media accounting for 25% each. The ballot includes six frontcourt players and and four backcourt players. Fans can vote online here until Monday, and votes on Saturday count twice. The All-Star teams will be revealed Wednesday. Parker was third in fan voting last week with 17,475 votes, and finishing in the top two would make her a captain.
Here's why Parker should be an All-Star this season.
TIME 100:Here's why Dwyane Wade thinks Candace Parker is one of TIME's Most Influential People
LADY VOLS IN WNBA:From Candace Parker to Rae Burrell: Lady Vols in the WNBA and how to watch them this season
She's still got it
Making a case for Parker to be in the All-Star game isn't just fans being fans. Parker is still one of the best players in the league and made that abundantly clear at the beginning of the season.
On May 22, she logged her second career triple-double when she had 16 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in the Chicago Sky's 82-73 win over the Washington Mystics. She is the third player to record multiple triple-doubles in her career. Parker is also the oldest player in league history to record a triple-double.
Parker's stats back it up
While Parker averages only 12.4 points per game, her shooting is efficient. From two-point range, Parker is shooting 50%, according to Her Hoop Stats. She still has the ability to shoot from beyond the arc, too, and is hitting 34.6% of her 3-point attempts.
Parker averages 4.5 assists, which is second-most of all frontcourt players and 10th in the league. Her versatility, ability to play any position and playmaking ability makes her an invaluable starter to the Sky.
Parker's 7.9 rebounds per game ranked eighth in the league and her 6.9 defensive rebounds rank fourth. She has a strong defensive presence, tallying 11 steals and 14 blocks through the Sky's first 13 games.
It would be the cherry on top in Chicago
Parker went home to Chicago last season and led the team to the franchise's first WNBA title. This year, Chicago will host the WNBA All-Star game for the first time. The game will take place at Wintrust Arena on July 10 (1 p.m., ABC).
For Parker to have an All-Star season in what may be her last season, and get to play in the game in her hometown of Chicago – well, you can't write a better ending than that.

These are a new take on the classic Rice Krispy Squares and if you are a huge fan of butterscotch, then you will definitely love these!! However, be forewarned, you won’t need much to get to a higher level. Even though they are only 100 mg, we would recommend cutting these into quarters or even eighths for your first go. As always, edibles affect everyone differently, so eating a smaller portion and waiting 1 – 1 1/2 hrs is highly recommended.
Ingredients: rice krispies, marsh-mellows, butterscotch chips, cannabutter, peanut butter, dark chocolate

'Not Another Flint' Town Hall Draws Standing-Room-Only Crowd
Residents asked questions about the effects of lead poisoning, the cost of lead line replacement and the responsibilities of local landlords at a panel discussion about water issues Tuesday night.
The standing room-only event, dubbed “Not Another Flint,” drew more than 100 people to the Kingsley Association in Larimer. It was hosted by the Our Water Campaign, a joint effort of several local environmental and social justice organizations whose goal is to maintain public control of water.
But the topics at Tuesday’s panel discussion were far-ranging, and included who should have to pay to replace lead service lines on private property.
Nayyirah Shariff, an organizer with the group Flint Rising said that government in Pittsburgh, like in Flint, should bear that burden.
“It’s not up to us as residents to figure out how to pay for it,” Shariff said. “It’s up to us to demand it and to hold to account the people who are elected and choose to go into this work to figure that out.”
City Councilwoman Deb Gross was also on the panel. She agreed the cost shouldn’t rest solely on taxpayers, but doesn’t believe state law prohibits the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority from spending money to replace the private side of residents’ lead service lines.
“I’ve also been revisiting the Municipal Authorities Act, and it doesn’t scream out to me that there’s any prohibition of us going on private property, so someone’s going to have to explain that part to me,” Gross said.
Panelist Michelle Naccarti-Chapki, of Women for a Healthy Environment, called the division between the public and private responsibility an “invisible line” and said that systemic attitude “had to change.”
Advocates also made the case for maintaining public control of the PWSA. Panel moderator Rev. Vincent Kolb asked the crowd several times “Whose water?” to elicit the response “Our water!”
“Our sacred religious traditions of every kind affirm that we are not the owners of the Earth, we are merely caretakers and stewards,” Kolb said. “Given that none of us own the Earth, I submit to you that water can never be a commodity. It is a right of all human beings and all of the creation.”
Physician Christopher Conti used the metaphor of a lion hunting for prey to describe private water companies like Veolia.
“Because just like the lion knows that the gazelle needs water, these companies know that humans need water and they prey on that,” Conti said.
PWSA is currently in arbitration with Veolia, alleging that the company switched corrosion control chemicals in the water two years before elevated lead levels were detected in some homes. Veolia, which had a contract with PWSA from 2012-14, has denied those claims.
Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto has said a public-private partnership is a possible solution to PWSA’s operational problems and mounting debt.
The organizations behind the Our Water campaign include Pittsburgh United, Clean Water Action, Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network, Sierra Club, Nine Mile Run Watershed, New Voices for Reproductive Justice, Thomas Merton Center and One Pennsylvania.

Georgetown Employment Lawyer
Labor law is a relatively new legal field in US history. Until the early 20th century there was very little government oversight of important issues such as workplace sanitation and overtime compensation. It took even longer for unfair practices such as discrimination in hiring to be addressed. Considering this, it is perhaps not surprising that even in the 21st century, all too many businesses continue to underpay, harass, or otherwise mistreat their employees.
The good news is that employees facing this kind of treatment have a legal venue through which they can address the problem. The problem is that doing so is rarely easy. Labor law is a very complex field, and many businesses will spare no expenses hiring aggressive lawyers to protect their own interests. Anyone who wishes to file a legal complaint against his or her employer will need an experienced and aggressive Georgetown employment lawyer of his or her own.
John Melton, Georgetown Labor Attorney
John Melton was educated at the University of Texas and the University of San Diego School of Law. He has represented clients in employment law cases at the district, county, and federal level.
