Cobb Schools likely to take loans for SPLOST III projects
The Cobb County school board appears poised to adopt a SPLOST III construction project "…
Georgia (Oct 28, 2010) — The Cobb County school board appears poised to adopt a SPLOST III construction project "acceleration plan," which would require the district to take out three short-term loans in coming years to help pay for construction projects. Two local economists seem to think the plan could be a good idea, considering the construction market.
http://mdjonline.com/view/full_story/10072440/article-Cobb-Schools-likely-to-take-loans-for-SPLOST-III-projects?instance=secondary_story_left_column
The purpose is to accelerate remaining construction projects in SPLOST III, moving up projects from 2012 and 2013 to 2011 to take advantage of the current construction costs. To pay for the influx of projects, the district plans to take out a short-term construction note in each of years 2011, 2012 and 2013.
In 2011 and again in 2012, the district will take out loans of $62 million, but in 2013, that loan amount would be cut in half, to $31 million. Since the loans are short-term notes, the district will have to pay back each loan by the end of each calendar year, presumably using sales-tax revenue.
At the board's Oct. 13 meeting, SPLOST manager Doug Shepard told the members that although the loans will costing the district $637,000 in fees and interest, the savings in construction would be a long-term benefit to the district. Shepard said the district is projecting interest rates of 0.3 percent in 2011, 0.4 percent in 2012 and 0.5 percent in 2013 for the loans.
"A better way to look at it is that it could be considered an insurance policy - costs are not going to be any lower, based on the consensus of economists," Shepard said. "So this is our opportunity to lock in these costs and to lock in the savings, just as we've done with Bells Ferry, that we can then return the excess funds to other non-technology or non-construction items, so that they, in turn, can have their budgets restored as best they can."
Economics professors Dr. Don Sabbarese, of Kennesaw State University, and Dr. Roger Tutterow, of Mercer University, agreed with Shepard's reasoning.
Sabbarese - who helped refine the district's SPLOST revenue forecasts earlier this year, given the down economy - said, "From the cost side, it would make a lot of sense for them to lock into something now, given the construction industry, rather than wait until later when possibly the construction industry picks up where it would become more expensive."
Tutterow said, "It's fair to say that now's a good time to be taking on construction projects. Some of the material items are lower. And it could have stimulative effects for employers in that area … I think the argument that now is a good time to be doing those kinds of expenses from a cost perspective is probably valid."
But board member Alison Bartlett said Wednesday that she is still on the fence about the acceleration plan. While the district has taken out short-term loans before with its SPLOST projects, Bartlett said she is worried about the district's ability to pay back the loans in this economy.
"I am very concerned about where the state of Georgia and where Cobb County is financially," Bartlett said. "SPLOST is dependent on sales tax, and I don't believe in the numbers we're currently receiving from the state … I think in today's economic outlook, that is a very very dangerous thing to do. Any other time that the school system has done a TAN (tax-anticipation note) we knew that we were going to earn money on the money that we had and we were not going to have a loss of revenue."
The district took out short-term loans for SPLOST projects nearly every year between 1998 and 2007, Shepard said.
Sabbarese, however, said that if the district's SPLOST projections are relatively decent then it should not have any issues with paying back the loans. In February, KSU economists helped to revise the district's revenue forecasts for SPLOST III, projecting a 20 percent decrease in the original projections of SPLOST III revenue. In September, the board voted to slash the budget for each of the SPLOST III construction projects by 20 percent.
"If the forecasts are halfway decent forecasts, then they should be able to pay them," Sabbaresse said of the loans. "If they're reasonably accurate, one would have to guess that the timing of this makes sense."
But the loans are not without risk, Tutterow said.
"Any time you take on any kind of debt, you've got to make sure you monitor your debt level against the size of the entity," Tutterow said. "The problem is that you're making a bet that the sales tax revenue will come in … It is not riskless any time you take on a debt that has to be paid back."
At least two board members are in support of the acceleration plan.
"It makes good business sense," Holli Cash said. "It's good for the district and it's good for the kids. We need to take advantage of everything the market has given us - good and bad."
Board Chairwoman Lynnda Crowder-Eagle also said that the acceleration plan makes good financial sense.
"It is a different time, but I'm not worried about us paying them back," Crowder-Eagle said. "And I think the savings we will have by us being able to expedite some of these projects will be an advantage and it will be a fiscally responsible thing for us to do."
David Morgan said he was still weighing the benefits and risks of the acceleration plan, but would not elaborate on his concerns. Dr. John Abraham said he needed clarification on the district's plan to pay back the loans and to pay the loan interest.
Members Dr. John Crooks and David Banks could not be reached for comment.

Is There a Downside to Peace?
Jim Borden	health related issues, lessons learned, politics, social justice, Wall Street Journal	 March 31, 2019 2 Minutes
Who would have thought that there could be an ecological downside to peace, to the end of conflict and war?
After all, isn't peace what we are always striving for?
So what could go wrong once peace is established?
An article in Saturday's Wall Street Journal references a paper published last month in the journal Land Use Policy. Researchers at the University of Vermont and the University of Waterloo showed how dramatically rainforest destruction sped up after peace arrived in Peru, Sri Lanka, Ivory Coast and Nepal in the past dozen years. In those four case studies, the average annual forest loss was 68% greater in the five years after conflicts ended than in the five years before. Forest loss also has increased globally but more slowly, at an average annual rise of 7% since 2001.
When conflicts end, developers rush in to take advantage, and rates of deforestation accelerate. Governments tend to be unprepared to enforce preservation of the sensitive, newly accessible territory. "Everyone tries to take advantage of the lack of transparency and accountability," said Kevin Woods, a senior policy analyst at the environmental group Forest Trends.
By contrast, conflict has continued to deter development in Indonesia's remote Papua province, where armed separatists recently attacked a major roadway project through the area, killing more than a dozen workers and forcing a temporary halt in construction. The province lost less than 2% of its tree cover from 2001 to 2017, according to Global Forest Watch data, while Indonesia lost 15% overall.
In central Africa, the world's second-largest rainforest, after the Amazon, actually expanded during the 20th century, partly because of the area's violent history.
In Colombia, the leftist FARC movement limited rainforest clearance in areas it controlled to protect its fighters from aerial bombardment and to ensure they could slip away from military incursions. But ranchers and coca growers have moved in quickly, often without any formal claim to the territory. In 2017, Colombia's rainforest tree cover disappeared at three times the rate of 2015, the year before the peace treaty was signed.
So what to do?
Let the conflicts rage on? Or work for peace and watch the rainforests get destroyed?
I don't think it has to be either.
I think the first priority should be achieving peace.
And once that is in place, then education should be next.
Education about the importance of maintaining the rainforests, and the high environmental cost of destroying it.
Along with education, there is likely a need for strong regulation that protects the rainforest.
Peace, education, and regulation. With all three in place, we can make the world a better place.
So I do not think there is a downside to peace; as John Lennon wrote 50 years ago, just give peace a chance…

Mona Karel says:
I truly believe education, especially an education that teaches different cultures as well as comprehensive history, could go a long way toward slowing down the conflict
But I can be a cockeyed optimist
Agree. I think the more we learn about different cultures, the more we will realize how much we have in common.

Better Health, Better Care: National Delivery Plan for Children and Young People's Specialist Services in Scotland
The National Delivery Plan meets a key milestone in the commitments set out in Better Health, Better Care. It establishes a national infrastructure for the sustainability of specialist children's services in Scotland, not just in the specialist hospitals but also in District General Hospitals and in the community: it identifies work that needs to take place at a national and regional level to sustain and develop services, drawing down the additional £32 million commited over the 3 financial year
5 NATIONAL DELIVERY PLAN - PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
1 NATIONAL DELIVERY PLAN - DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
2 NATIONAL DELIVERY PLAN - PLANNING FOR CHANGE
3 NATIONAL DELIVERY PLAN - A SERVICE MODEL FOR SCOTLAND
4 NATIONAL DELIVERY PLAN - IMMEDIATE PRIORITIES
ANNEX A
ANNEX C
ANNEX D
ANNEX E
110. This Delivery Plan, and the significant resources invested in its support, reflects the commitment of the Scottish Government to placing our specialist children's services on a sound and sustainable footing, fit for the future.
111. In order to ensure that the National Delivery Plan is taken forward, and the accompanying resources used to the maximum benefit of children and young people, a Specialist Children's Services Implementation Group has been established. The role, remit and membership of the Implementation Group is included in Annex C.
112. The Implementation Group will operate as a sub-committee of the Children and Young People's Health Support Group and will focus particularly on:
The allocation of resources.
The identification and completion of additional workstreams.
Allocation of Resources
113. Informed by the immediate priorities, which were affirmed during the consultation on the National Delivery Plan, the investment of £2 million for 2008/2009 has been released to Regional Planning Groups and other provider organisations within the NHS in Scotland. Building on that encouraging start the major investment in support of the Delivery Plan will take place during 2009/2010 (£10 million) and 2010/2011 (£20 million).
114. It is essential that this very significant application of new resources is used to the maximum benefit of patients and is distributed across the specialties in a way that most effectively supports service development.
115. The Implementation Group will therefore establish a robust framework in which further investment can be prioritised. In allocating resources the Implementation Group will give priority to proposals that will:
Support best clinical practice and offer maximum benefit to patients.
Enhance service sustainability.
Accord with the agreed priorities and policies of the NHS in Scotland.
Represent value for money.
116. This work will be progressed in close collaboration with Regional Planning Groups, National Service Division, NHS Education Scotland and the Scottish Centre for Telehealth. Informed by this Delivery Plan, and the further work of the Implementation Group, these organisations will be responsible for developing costed proposals for service developments.
Further Work
117. As acknowledged in this Delivery Plan the workstreams initiated by the National Steering Group did not encompass all specialties within children's services. Some services are already covered by national commissioning arrangements and others have been the subject of separate prior, or concurrent, work. For example, CAMHS and Emergency care are subject to separate implementation arrangements and frameworks.
118. The consultation for the Delivery Plan has however confirmed that there are a number of additional specialist services in which concerns regarding sustainability, quality or accessibility require to be understood and addressed. These include:
Surgical Sub-specialties ( e.g.ENT)
Asthma and Immunology
Renal and Urology Services
Non-malignant Haematology
Non-interventional Cardiology
119. The Implementation Group will therefore require to consider those specialty areas not incorporated in the initial workstreams and to:
Determine the availability of existing information regarding the service.
Scope what further work is required.
Agree arrangements by which such further work can most effectively be progressed.
120. In parallel there is a need to ensure that any outstanding issues raised through the original workstreams initiated by the National Steering Group have been fully considered. The aim will be to ensure that the implementation of this Delivery Plan, and the investment which accompanies it, adopts a 'whole system' approach to the provision and development of specialist children's services across the country.
121. It is essential that the investment in specialist children's services is used in ways that maximise patient benefit and effectively address the areas of priority concern regarding existing services. The Implementation Group will therefore be required to monitor implementation of the National Delivery Plan including the development of measures by which beneficial effect and added value can be satisfactorily demonstrated. This work will inevitably be synergistic with work on outcome measures described elsewhere in this guidance.
Ask the Implementation Group to:
Develop a robust framework through which the investment in specialist children's services can be effectively prioritised and allocated.
Produce and progress an action plan regarding the additional work required to ensure that resource allocation and service development takes appropriate account of the full range of specialist children's services.
Work with other parties, including the Scottish Public Health Network, to seek to identify effective arrangements for the demonstration of actual and anticipated patient benefit arising from the increased investment in specialist children's services.

Suspected child killer shot dead in 'encounter'
Police returned fire and the suspect sustained a fatal gunshot and died on the spot

HYDRABAD:
A man suspected of killing a seven-year-old girl allegedly for resisting rape was shot dead in a police encounter in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening.
Police claimed that the slain suspect, Usama Qureshi, in his early 20s, fired gunshots on the police while trying to escape near Meeran Shah Govt School, Heerabad in the limits of Market police station.
Police returned fire and the suspect sustained a fatal gunshot and died on the spot. The family sources of Qureshi, however, claim that he was picked up before the encounter. His body was shifted to Liaquat University Hospital for postmortem.
The body of seven years old Zala, daughter of Muhammad Faisal Qureshi, was found on Monday night from the roof of a building in Heerabad in the limits of the Market police station.
She was murdered by asphyxiation, however, the initial postmortem, conducted at Liaquat University Hospital, did not find any trace of rape. Faisal Qureshi had told the police that he suspected that his neighbour, Usama Qureshi, had killed the child while trying to rape her.
Hyderabad SSP Amjad Ahmed Shaikh visited the crime scene on Tuesday and notified a seven-member committee headed by SP Anil Haider to trace and arrest the suspect.
The deceased was laid to rest on Tuesday. Senator Krishna Kumari and MPA Hinda Dastgir visited the bereaved family to offer condolences. They assured them on behalf of the provincial government that the police would leave no stone unturned to get to the culprit who mercilessly killed the child.

Fab Fabrications--Kaleidoscopes from Nature Images Emphasizing Geometry In Nature and Symmetry: Mandalas and Kaleidoscopes--What is the Difference?
How to Draw a Mandala from Premaspace. To me, it is the spiritual intent that is the difference between the two.
I consider my work to be both since I often go into a zen like space in my head when I am creating and choosing kaleidoscopes for this blog. It even extends to the time when I am taking photographs with the intention of creating images for the kaleidoscopes.
I am continually drawn to water and the amazing sycamores which grow here in the riparian zone. Luckily, in the Verde Valley we have a large number of rivers and creeks, including Oak Creek, Spring Creek, Beaver Creek, and the Verde River. The kaleidoscopes below were created from photos of the trees from a recent trip to Page Springs Fish Hatchery with the beautiful grays and brown of early winter vegetation.
Fabulous stuff, Trina! Hope to see you and Michael in Feb.

Q: ray tracing and finding the normal vector to the surface at the intersection point When doing a ray trace with rayTraceP, I can find the point where a ray intersects with a diagram.
> rayTraceP (p2 (0, 0)) (r2 (1, 0)) ((p2 (1,-1) ~~ p2 (1,1))
Just (p2 (1.0, 0.0))

I want to use this to find not only the "collision point", but also the collision time and the normal vector to the surface at that point.
-- A Collision has a time, a contact point, and a normal vector.
-- The normal vector is perpendicular to the surface at the contact
-- point.
data Collision v n = Collision n (Point v n) (v n)
  deriving (Show)

Given a start point for the ray and a velocity vector along the ray, I can find the contact point end using rayTraceP:
end <- rayTraceP start vel dia

And I can find the collision time using the distance between start and end:
time = distance start end / norm vel

But I'm stuck on finding the normal vector. I'm working within this function:
rayTraceC :: (Metric v, OrderedField n)
             => Point v n -> v n -> QDiagram B v n Any -> Maybe (Collision v n)
-- Takes a starting position for the ray, a velocity vector for the
-- ray, and a diagram to trace the ray to. If the ray intersects with
-- the diagram, it returns a Collision containing:
--  * The amount of time it takes for a point along the ray going at
--    the given velocity to intersect with the diagram.
--  * The point at which it intersects with the diagram.
--  * The normal vector to the surface at that point (which will be
--    perpendicular to the surface there).
-- If the ray does not intersect with the diagram, it returns Nothing.
rayTraceC start vel dia =
  do
    end <- rayTraceP start vel dia
    let time = distance start end / norm vel
    -- This is where I'm getting stuck.
    -- How do I find the normal vector?
    let normalV = ???
    return (Collision time end normalV)

Some examples of what I want it to do:
> -- colliding straight on:
> rayTraceC (p2 (0, 0)) (r2 (1, 0)) (p2 (1,-1) ~~ p2 (1,1))
Just (Collision 1 (p2 (1, 0)) (r2 (-1, 0)))
> -- colliding from a diagonal:
> rayTraceC (p2 (0, 0)) (r2 (1, 1)) (p2 (1,0) ~~ p2 (1,2))
Just (Collision 1 (p2 (1, 1)) (r2 (-1, 0))
> -- colliding onto a diagonal:
> rayTraceC (p2 (0, 0)) (r2 (1, 0)) (p2 (0,-1) ~~ p2 (2,1))
Just (Collision 1 (p2 (1, 0)) (r2 (-√2/2, √2/2)))
> -- no collision
> rayTraceC (p2 (0, 0)) (r2 (1, 0)) (p2 (1,1) ~~ p2 (1,2))
Nothing

It is correct on everything in these examples except for the normal vector.
I have looked in the documentation for both Diagrams.Trace and Diagrams.Core.Trace, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

A: There is no way to do this in general; it depends on what exactly you hit.  There is a module Diagrams.Tangent for computing tangents of trails, but to compute the tangent at a given point you have to know its parameter with respect to the trail; and one thing we are missing at the moment is a way to convert from a given point to the parameter of the closest point on a given segment/trail/path (it's been on the to-do list for a while).
Dreaming even bigger, perhaps traces themselves ought to return something more informative---not just parameters telling you how far along the ray the hit are, but also information about what you hit (from which one could more easily do things like compute a normal vector).
What kinds of things are you computing traces of?  There might be a way to take advantage of the particular details of your use case to get the normals you want in a not-too-terrible way.

A: Brent Yorgey's answer points out the Diagrams.Tangent module, and in particular normalAtParam, which works on Parameteric functions, including trails, but not all Diagrams.
Fortunately, many 2D diagram functions, like circle, square, rect, ~~, etc. can actually return any TrailLike type, including Trail V2 n. So a function with the type
rayTraceTrailC :: forall n . (RealFloat n, Epsilon n)
                  =>
                  Point V2 n
                  -> V2 n
                  -> Located (Trail V2 n)
                  -> Maybe (Collision V2 n)

Would actually work on the values returned by circle, square, rect, ~~, etc. if it could be defined:
> rayTraceTrailC
    (p2 (0, 0))
    (r2 (1, 0))
    (circle 1 # moveTo (p2 (2,0)))
Just (Collision 1 (p2 (1, 0)) (r2 (-1, 0)))

And this function can be defined by breaking the trail up into a list of fixed segments which are either linear or bezier curves, using the fixTrail function. That reduces the problem to the simpler rayTraceFixedSegmentC.
rayTraceTrailC start vel trail =
  combine (mapMaybe (rayTraceFixedSegmentC start vel) (fixTrail trail))
  where
    combine [] = Nothing
    combine cs = Just (minimumBy (\(Collision a _ _) (Collision b _ _) -> compare a b) cs)

The rayTraceFixedSegmentC can use rayTraceP to calculate the contact point, but we can't find the normal vector right away because we don't know what the parameter is at that contact point. So punt further and add fixedSegmentNormalV helper function to the wish list:
rayTraceFixedSegmentC :: forall n . (RealFloat n, Epsilon n)
                         =>
                         Point V2 n
                         -> V2 n
                         -> FixedSegment V2 n
                         -> Maybe (Collision V2 n)
rayTraceFixedSegmentC start vel seg =
  do
    end <- rayTraceP start vel (unfixTrail [seg])
    let time = distance start end / norm vel
    let normalV = normalize (project (fixedSegmentNormalV seg end) (negated vel))
    return (Collision time end normalV)

This fixedSegmentNormalV function just has to return a normal vector for a single segment going through a single point, without worrying about the vel direction. It can destruct the FixedSegment type, and if it's linear, that's easy:
fixedSegmentNormalV :: forall n . (OrderedField n)
                       =>
                       FixedSegment V2 n -> Point V2 n -> V2 n
fixedSegmentNormalV seg pt =
  case seg of
    FLinear a b -> perp (b .-. a)
    FCubic a b c d ->
      ???

In the FCubic case, to calculate the parameter where the curve goes through pt, I'm not sure what to do, but if you don't mind approximations here we can just take a bunch of points along it and find the one closest to pt. After that we can call normalAtParam as Brent Yorgey suggested.
fixedSegmentNormalV seg pt =
  case seg of
    FLinear a b -> perp (b .-. a)
    FCubic a b c d ->
      -- APPROXIMATION: find the closest parameter value t
      let ts = map ((/100) . fromIntegral) [0..100]
          dist t = distance (seg `atParam` t) pt
          t = minimumBy (\a b -> compare (dist a) (dist b)) ts
      -- once we have that parameter value we can call a built-in function
      in normalAtParam seg t

With this, the rayTraceTrailC function is working with this approximation. However, it doesn't work for Diagrams, only Located Trails.
It can work on the values returned by functions like circle and rect, but not on combined diagrams. So you have to keep those building blocks of diagrams separate, as trails, for as long as you need this collision ray tracing.
Using the normal vectors to reflect the rays (the outgoing ray has an equal angle from the normal vector) looks like this:

Chad: Providing Support for Mothers and Children
Chad is a landlocked country in the Sahel region of north Africa that is largely made up of arid and desert landscapes. Although it is the continent's 5th largest nation in terms of its geographic area, the people of Chad face a variety of health issues. These issues are exacerbated by the fact that many live in rural areas with little to no access to healthcare. Compared to the United States, where the average life expectancy is 79, the average life expectancy in Chad is just 54 years for women and 52 for men.
"The average life expectancy in Chad is just 54 years for women & 52 for men."
In 2015, our Doctors of the World teams provided 1,711 medically supervised births and over 44,170 obstetric consultations for expectant mothers. Some of the leading causes of death for women in Chad are complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Since 2009, Doctors of the World has been working in the Kanem region, where pregnant women and newborns receive very little medical care, especially in rural areas. Women often have to walk several hours to reach a health center or to see one of the few doctors in the country. As a result, many women die during childbirth without having received any medical attention. For every 100,000 women, 1,100 die during childbirth and only 4.8% of women use any form of contraception.
Lack of access to healthcare is one of the most challenging health issues confronting the people of Chad. Many women and children do not seek medical care or treatment due to the long distances they have to travel. To address this, our teams equipped local communities with horse carts in order to transport patients more quickly and efficiently. Using the carts greatly reduces the time and effort required to reach a center, enabling women and children to seek care more frequently.
"For every 100,000 women, 1,100 die during childbirth and only 4.8% of women use any form of contraception."
Giving birth in Chad can be extremely risky. Caesarians are rare, and labor can often be obstructed or prolonged due to malnutrition. The difficult labor process can leave women with cases of obstetric fistula that can dramatically impact their wellbeing. These complications can lead to chronic incontinence, which severely impacts women's personal lives and can result in them being ostracized from the local community. In order to reduce the dangerous consequences of prolonged and ill-equipped labors, our team has recruited and trained midwives in addition to refurbishing the birthing rooms inside rural health centers. We also provide women suffering from obstetric fistula with medical care and psychosocial support.
Since 2015, Doctors of the World has also worked with Action Against Hunger on advocacy in the health districts of Mao, Mondo, and in Mao City. We have worked in over 47 health centers and in Mao's regional hospital, where we raise awareness among young adolescents about health related issues such as maternal health, the prevention of HIV, the transmission risk between mother and child and the importance of vaccinating new-born babies against disease. Throughout the region we also organize family planning activities and information sessions.

Obama Camp Urges Superdelegates: "Bring This to a Close"
CHICAGO -- After winning the North Carolina primary and losing Indiana by two points, the Obama campaign is feeling confident. Campaign manager David Plouffe declared that they can see the finish line and are now looking for superdelegates to wrap up the nomination. "We have been making great progress in the superdelegate world over the past couple of weeks," he said. "I mentioned post Pennsylvania, where Senator Clinton had a nine point win, during the Rev. Wright episode during last week, we still led Senator Clinton in superdelegate endorsements during that period two to one."
Obama supporters Sen.John Kerry, D-Mass., and Gov. Janet Napolitano, D-Ariz., argue that the superdelegates now have a responsibility to move the nominating process forward. "Obama has shown he can win across the board and now its time for superdelegates to bring this to a close," Napolitano said. Obama is expected to meet with undecided superdelegates tomorrow in Washington.
Kerry said that it is the responsibility of the superdelegates to ensure that the Democratic Party will be unified at the convention in August, and suggested that Obama could have won the Indiana primary last night if it was not for the Republicans. "I think if it hadn't been for Republicans taking Democratic ballots he likely would have won in Indiana too," Kerry said. "Rush Limbaugh was tampering with the primary and the GOP has clearly declared that they want Hillary Clinton as a candidate."
On Monday, Limbaugh launched what he called "Operation Chaos," where he urged Indiana Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton. Plouffe agreed that Limbaugh did have an effect on the outcome of the Indiana primary.

As the School Year Begins, School Budgets are Up and Down
Posted by Yolanda Smith, September 21, 2010
As students and teachers headed back to school this month it was widely reported that given lower state aid, growing enrollment, and rising costs, school budgets had been cut. But the effect differed from school to school, with some schools even seeing their allocation per student rise. To provide parents, teachers, policymakers, and other interested New Yorkers with a clearer view of the funding available for schools across the city, IBO compared the initial allocation each school received to fund its basic operations this September with the allocation last September. Click here to look up the figures for particular schools.
Much of the year-to-year change was due to annual adjustments that take into account changes in the make-up of a school's student body (how many students need special ed, are performing below standards, etc), plus changes in a school's enrollment. But some of the change this year arose from funding shortfalls that threatened to leave some schools with budgets too small to cover basic operations, which led the education department to shift some of the basic allocation funding.
More schools than not will begin this year with less money per pupil for their basic operations than they had at the beginning of last school year. According to IBO's calculations, 864 out of 1,464 schools have received an initial operating allocation per pupil that is less than last year's. In contrast, 585 schools have received a greater per pupil allocation than last year, and 15 received exactly what they had a year ago, on a per-pupil basis. (Schools which have either been closed by the Department of Education or newly opened this year are not included in these counts.) These changes have real consequences—among schools with lower per capita allocations this year, the median decline was $151. In a school of 500 students such a change is roughly equivalent to the cost of one teacher. (Click here for table showing how changes in percentage terms were distributed.)
Each year the education department creates school allocation memoranda, often referred to as SAMs. These SAMs detail for principals the various sums of money available for each school's budget. The most important of these, SAM #1, sets up the opening basic operating condition and the allocation of dollars largely through the fair student funding (FSF) formula, although some non-FSF funds are included in this allocation. In this post, we are comparing the initial SAM#1 FSF allocations made to schools this year and last year.
Fair student funding—the largest part of the SAM#1 allocation—is the method used since school year 2007-2008 to distribute most of the city and unrestricted state funds needed to run the schools. The FSF formula takes into account the student demographics at each school, with more money allocated for higher needs students. The FSF allocation is the core of a school's budget, covering instructional staff and school operating overhead. The total amount of FSF allocated through SAM #1 this year is $4.4 billion, $91 million more than last year (including hold harmless and incremental funding, which are explained below).
The fair student funding methodology was originally going to be implemented gradually. In order to preserve stability and protect core programs in the first two years of implementation, the FSF allocations included hold-harmless money to avoid funding reductions for schools deemed "overfunded" under the formula. Schools deemed "underfunded" under the formula were only allocated enough to eliminate 55 percent of their shortfall with the expectation that their allocations would increase over time. The goal was to have all underfunded schools receive their full FSF funding level by 2009-2010. Yet as early as school year 2008-2009, the education department indicated that full implementation was likely to be slowed without adequate state and city funding. (See IBO's report on FSF "New Funding Formula Seeks to Alter School Budget Disparities" for more details.)
Changes in the characteristics of a school's student body generate changes in per pupil funding because FSF takes into account individual student needs. The formula, in other words, is weighted based on needs. Each student starts with a weight based on grade level, which can grow depending on the student's characteristics. For example, a high school student performing below standards has 0.25 added on to her weight and high school students in English learner classes receive an extra 0.50 weight. All students' weights are translated into dollars which determine the FSF formula allocation for the school.
The effect of changes in individual school demographics on each school's SAM #1 allocation can be observed by looking at the percentage change in dollar allocations per needs-weighted student. We found that these changes in school demographics explain much, but not all, of the changes in per pupil funding for individual schools
Using the weighted student enrollment, the year to year per capita changes tended to be smaller compared to the simple per capita change, with most schools clustered between -2.9 percent and plus 2.9 percent, but there were still a significant number of schools that saw larger changes. One hundred and two schools saw their allocation per weighted student decrease by 3 percent or more and 151 schools increased by 3 percent or more. In total, 68 percent of all schools experienced a decrease in funding in weighted per pupil terms.
The combined effect of rising costs and reduced state aid also played a role in this year's funding changes for schools. The Department of Education initially attempted to deal with these pressures, along with rising enrollment, by imposing a 4 percent cut on school budgets for the 2010-2011 school year; the second consecutive year with such a cut. After calculation of the baseline formula incorporating the 4 percent cut, the education department determined it had a problem: 400 schools would fall below the minimum funding level needed to maintain basic operations.
The education department then decided it needed to adjust its allocation methodology. In order to insure that all schools received at least a base allocation amount (actually 86 percent of the amount the department labeled "operating threshold"), other unrestricted funding was added to the pool to be allocated and the amount of funds that could be reallocated from any school was capped at 3 percent. This cap allows overfunded schools (in fair student funding terms) to remain overfunded. With the additional funding and the cap on reallocation in place, this year's opening allocations were set by reducing the result under the FSF formula by 4 percent across the board and then using federal stimulus funds as needed to reach a final cut of not more than 4.2 percent in the total SAM#1 allocation—including dollars in addition to the FSF funds—for every school.

Cary Truck Accident Lawyer
While few people in Cary would deny the fact that trucks serve a useful purpose, it can be frightening to share the road with them. Because trucks are so much heavier than other vehicles and drivers are hampered by reduced visibility and longer stopping distances, accidents involving trucks are often quite serious. Horrific injuries can result. A Cary truck accident lawyer could provide numerous types of assistance to anyone injured in a truck crash. So, if you are suffering the effects of a truck accident, it is wise to consult a dedicated personal injury lawyer who understands the different factors involved in a truck collision case.
In the aftermath of a truck accident, people often have questions about their rights, but those questions may take a back seat to health concerns. That is appropriate because the most important action after suffering an injury in an accident is to seek the best available medical care. Doing so can not only speed recovery but also provide evidence of injuries that may be used later when seeking compensation.
A knowledgeable Cary truck accident lawyer could answer questions as they arise, and also assist in answering questions posed by insurance companies and other attorneys involved in the case. Sometimes, there is pressure to attempt to get an accident victim to make a damaging statement or accept a settlement that fails to provide fair compensation. Those who begin working with an attorney early in the process can allow their legal counsel to handle questions, paperwork, and other issues while they focus on recovery.
Liability Arises from Negligence for Truck Crashes
In most truck accident cases, liability is based on the negligence of the parties involved. As a general rule, if someone fails to fulfill their legal responsibilities and another person suffers harm as a result, the party who failed to act responsibly may be held liable for the resulting consequences. Drivers and the owners of vehicles on the road owe a responsibility to operate in a safe manner and when they fail to do so liability may result. Liability may be attributed to the truck owner, driver, a maintenance company, the manufacturer, or a combination of several parties.
The conduct of the injured person may also contribute to causation. When that happens, the state's contributory negligence rule could prevent that person from recovering damages.
Potential Damage Awards
People injured in truck accidents in Cary are often entitled to receive compensation to offset a number of effects of the accident. Sometimes compensation is received through a settlement before litigation. Other times, a court may award compensation after a trial. In either case, the parties involved typically will consider various factors such as:
Damage to vehicles and other property
Future medical needs
Wages lost from time off work
Reduced future income
Loss of enjoyment
If serious misconduct is involved, a court may award additional punitive damages that are intended to punish the wrongdoing rather than compensate the victim. An experienced Car truck accident lawyer could calculate the value of each of these factors to determine a fair amount based on the circumstances.
Consult a Cary Truck Accident Attorney
The time to file a claim to seek compensation for a truck accident is limited by the state statute of limitations. This law gives those injured three years to file a claim. After three years, they are barred from seeking compensation.
This is why it is wise to consult a Cary truck accident lawyer well before that statutory limit expires. A knowledgeable attorney could assist in the collection of evidence necessary to prove liability, and that evidence should be obtained as close to the time of the accident as possible. It is never too early to seek legal help after a truck accident. To learn how to start working toward a full recovery, call now.

Inspired by nature's artistry YOU ARE BRAVE creates hand printed textiles + handmade decor for the modern home. Known for it's hand printed range of table linens + interior decor, YOU ARE BRAVE is appreciated by style makers who confidently look for simplicity + individuality in their furnishings.
WHO IS YOU ARE BRAVE?
YOU ARE BRAVE textiles + decor is the creative outlet, meaningful work and labor of love for designer + textile printer Michelle Kistima-Menser.
YOU ARE BRAVE is proudly based in Sydney, Australia's inner western suburbs. With a distinctly coastal and earthy aesthetic about her prints, Michelle's roots in the Cape, Southern Africa is evident.
Growing up in Cape Town in the 70's she was surrounded by a large family that spent time together in the outdoors hiking, picking wild proteas on the family farm, camping in the mountains + at seaside picnics. This is where her eye for colour, shape, pattern and texture was first formed.
Studying fine art at university Michelle majored in sculpture + design. Later, finding her creative calling she trained in textile design + screen printing. The next 13 years was spent working for others as a commercial textile graphic designer but by 2013 Michelle had enough.
"I was longing to create things with meaning + to have more control over my life while spending more time with my young son. With my industry knowledge, supreme confidence in my skills + most importantly, the support of my family, I started YOU ARE BRAVE textiles."
Says Michelle, " I learned to sew on my Great Aunty Mabel's Empisal sewing machine back in Cape Town in the 70s. She had a curtain making business that she ran from the home we shared with 9 other family members!!! I remember sitting with her in the golden glow of the Empisals' light as she ran through the steps of threading the machine, safety, oiling and the different types of stitches. She was patient and kind and a truly spiritual being who was known & loved in the local community. She embodied Love and I adored her. When she passed away I inherited the Empisal and although I now also have an industrial machine, I still prefer to use hers."
It still glows that beautiful warm light that reminds me of the very special relationship I have with my Aunty Mabel.
" In fact it was something she said when I was young and going through a tough time that pushed me to take the leap and start my own business. At a time when I was confused and struggling to cope she consoled me and simply said "You can do it. You are brave." So I decided that if she thought I can do this, then maybe I REALLY CAN? I pushed on, knowing that I had her support and I DID get through it."
"So when I was disillusioned with yet another job that I'd put everything into and (yet again) that energy was not reciprocated ... I seriously thought about starting my own business. It was scary but also exciting at the same time to think of the possibilities of being "my kind of creative" all the time. All I needed was a little nudge ... someone to say "You can do it" ... and after months of "umming & aahing" I remembered my Aunty Mabel, her faith in me & what she'd said decades ago ... "You are brave."

Viacom and CBS consider new coming together
February 2, 2018 11.18 Europe/London By Julian Clover
Viacom and CBS are to explore the possibility of becoming a single business.
In separate statements the two companies said they had each established a special committee to evaluate the combination and retained independent legal counsel and financial advisers to deal with the matter.
The combination of the two US media giants would restore the single company structure that existed between 2000 and 2006. It follows the current market trend for scale as witnessed by Disney's proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox and AT&T's multi-billion dollar pursuit of Time Warner.
Sumner Redstone, now 94 and in poor health, took hold of Viacom in 1987 before acquiring CBS 13 years later.
The possibility of a new Viacom-CBS tie up was first raised 12 months ago amid the acrimony of the succession process in the Viacom boardroom. Redstone's daughter Shari is said to be in favour of the move.
Viacom's interests include MTV, VH1, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures.

Fifteen years of research leads to four-volume book on Holocaust — in Farsi
Posted May 29, 2012 / Debra Rubin, JTA
Share via Twitter: Fifteen years of research leads to four-volume book on Holocaust — in Farsi Share via Facebook: Fifteen years of research leads to four-volume book on Holocaust — in Farsi Share via Email: Fifteen years of research leads to four-volume book on Holocaust — in Farsi
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Ari Babaknia doesn't expect that Iran's president will ever read his four-volume series of Holocaust books written in the Farsi language.
But the author says he is confident that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad knows the books exist.
"I've done 10, 11 television interviews," Babaknia said — interviews that are transmitted via satellite to Iran.
He has sent the four volumes, released in April, to three people in Iran who requested it via the website memorah.com.
The volumes are titled "Man's Inhumanity to Man," "America's Response to the Holocaust," "The World's Response to the Holocaust" and "End of the Holocaust and Liberation of Nazi Camps and the Genocides of the Last 100 Years."
Once the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies and Babaknia's family Memorah Foundation, which published the volumes, recoup what the author estimates at $70,000 to $80,000 in publishing costs, he plans to make the works available online for free.
Babaknia, an Iranian-born Jew who sits on the Wyman board, says the costs do not account for his time or the money he paid for researchers or designers.
A physician who completed medical school in Tehran, Babaknia arrived in the United States in 1974 to continue his education in women's medical health and then infertility.
In the 1990s, he began his Holocaust research.
"More than 120 million speak or write Farsi in the world, and there never has been a well-researched or -documented book about the Holocaust in Farsi," said Babaknia, 65, of Newport Beach, Calif.
However, Project Aladdin, a UNESCO-sponsored project that works to foster positive relations between Muslims and Jews and to combat Holocaust denial, does offer several books on the Holocaust in Farsi translation.
Babaknia said he initially expected to complete his research during a one-year sabbatical.
"One year was two or three years, then it was 15 years later," said Babaknia, who explained that he kept finding himself with more questions to research.
The author views the Holocaust as a "human catastrophe." The Jews were the victims, he says, but "we don't own" the Holocaust.
In looking at the world's response to the Holocaust, Babaknia notes that Jews remained safe in Iran.
"The most important thing to understand about Iran is that Iran has a virtually flawless record during the Holocaust," said Holocaust scholar Michael Berenbaum. "When Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust, he also denies the humanity of his own people."
Berenbaum commended Babaknia for translating original documents and materials in a serious "attempt to educate those in the Iranian population who are interested in studying history instead of the fantasy that the Holocaust never happened."
Liebe Geft, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, which hosted a book launch party for Babaknia in April, praises the series as "a monumental work of enormous importance."
"Put into the hands of young people today, academics," Geft said, Babaknia's books provide "an opportunity to learn, to understand, to encounter and perhaps even to transform."

The mighty Buachaille Etive Mor is probably Scotland's most photographed peak but it always pleases and especially so for me on the dreichest of wet winter days imaginable which left me comfotably numb. Even so I waited for the peak to show itself in its entirety before shooting it and manufactured a shutter speed that rendered the falling water in the most pleasing form to my eyes. The chocolate browns of wet heather and bracken are sympathetic to the moody slate blue clouds glowering over the summit.

Artist In Residency
The duality of oppression and decolonization of self
How is it possible to oppose colonial mentality and structural racism in a world structured by inequality, expectation, and oppressive power relationships? How can one resist all of these when one is in a minority position abroad as well as in opposition to the government, majority, political and cultural hegemonies in one's home nation? How can one deal with these issues in one's art, writing and life choices? How do you criticize without upholding stereotypes and established structures? And can you as an artist really liberate and decolonize yourself and your art?
Rasoul Nejadmehr is an independent researcher with a main interest in issues of cultural and educational foundations and policies. His concern is how legacies of the past are at work in the present and govern current educational and cultural policies.
He has published books and essays in English, Persian and Swedish. His latest book is Kantian Genesis of the Problem of Scientific Education (Routledge; 2020), where he addresses the key role played by Kant and Kantianism in establishing a Eurocentric rational notion of humanity. The book also reveals genealogical continuities between Kantianism and neoliberal rationality of the all-embracing market of today.
It discusses several strategies for resistance against the imperial rationality based on decolonial and postcolonial perspectives and suggests basic principles for a shift of paradigm in education, including shifts in our understanding of the notions of criticism, freedom, the universal, art and the human being.

Their first poetry collection, Broken Halves of a Milky Sun was published in 2022 in the USA.
Nin's poetry draws upon the experience of childhood and youth spent in a patriarchal society and is strongly rooted in the context of postcolonial Africa. In their poems they often refer to the present situation in Angola, addressing problems of sexual violence inflicted on women, religious fundamentalism and the contradictions of Catholic doctrine, social inequalities and racism.
Since moving to Denmark in 2016, they have worked in collaboration with artists identifying with queer culture and have been an outspoken voice regarding the legal discrimination of immigrants and police violence in Scandinavian countries. Their articles and poems have been published in Information, Untold Pages, Kritiker, Friktion Magasin, Forfatternes Klimaaksjon and hvermandag.dk. Nin has performed at numerous literary festivals, such as Oslo International Poetry Festival, Sound + Literature in Aarhus, and Louisiana Literature Festival in Denmark. The leading Danish newspaper, Politiken, called Nin a "great, rare talent in Danish literature."
They currently live in Krakow, staying in Villa Decius as part of the ICORN Residency Program.

BERKELEY, Calif. – A pair of opposing streaks came to an end Sunday as the No. 14 Oregon Ducks finally snapped their surprising slide this week with a 4-2 win over the California Bears at Evans Diamonds to salvage a win in the series loss. Cal saw its own impressive 10-game winning streak snapped in the home loss but can take solace in capturing the series win to start Pac 12 play at 2-1.
The Ducks capitalized on a pair of errors by the Bears to plate three-runs in the seventh inning that would stand up for the win. Junior outfielder Scott Heineman moved around the bases as Cal misplayed a duo of sacrifice attempts by Austin Grebeck (So., OF) and Nick Catalano (Jr., OF) to score the game's first run after leading off the inning with a single. JUCO transfer Matt Eureste (Jr., 3B) lobbed a sac fly that scored Grebeck and Catalano would come in on a groundout to build a 3-0 lead.
Cal quickly responded in the home half of the frame as freshman Brett Cumberland (.328/.569/.512, 3 HR, 17 RBI) smacked a two-run double to cut the lead to 3-2. However, the Ducks struck back a Catalano smashed his second homer of the year to push the lead back to 4-2. Ducks' closer Garrett Cleavinger (Jr., LHP) came on to close out the game, tossing a scoreless inning-and-a-third while notching a pair of strikeouts to snag his third save on the year.
Oregon was riding terrific momentum after a road series win at No. 19 UC Santa Barbara and then a home sweep of St. John's but then scored only three runs while dropping back-to-back, mid-week decisions to the San Fransisco Dons before falling in the first two games of this series at Cal.
The Bears swept Kansas State, blew out San Fransisco (11-0), swept Chicago State and then won at Pacific leading into this series. Cal proved it can win against the Pac 12s big boys with this series win over Oregon and may finally be doing enough to get noticed outside of the west coast.
RENO, Nev. – Infielders Austin Byler (Sr.) and Ryan Howell (Jr.) drove in three runs each as the No. 23 Nevada Wolf Pack downed the New Mexico Lobos 9-2 to take the series win. Byler blasted his sixth long ball of the season in the third while Howell drove his second triple of the year to the gap as the Wolf Pack erased the memory of a 3-1 loss to open the series.
Juniors dominated on the mound for the Pack as right-hander Michael Fain (2-0) started the game and was solid, allowing two earned runs in five innings of work before handing the game over to Christian Stolo (LHP). The stingy southpaw hurled four scoreless frames, allowing only a pair of hits while striking out four to grab the four-inning save, his first of the year.
Both squads opened conference play with New Mexico taking 2-of-3 at home against San Diego State while the Wolf Pack snagged 2-of-3 at UNLV. This series was expected to produce the early favorite for the Mountain West title and Nevada stepped up big.
The Wolf Pack dropped the opener 3-1 and it looks briefly as though the Lobos were going to again be the dominant team in the conference. However, Nevada returned a 3-1 win on Saturday and then clubbed the Lobos on Sunday to solidify their place atop the Mountain West and in the Top 25.
The No. 20 Texas Tech Red Raiders flexed some west coast muscle in taking series win over the San Diego State Aztecs. You can read my coverage here.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Bruins' senior stopper David Berg (RHP) earned his first win of 2015 after tossing six scoreless innings in relief as the No. 9 UCLA Bruins pull out the 5-4 win over the Washington Huskies in 13 innings at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Sunday to take the series. Berg fanned eight and scattered seven hits over his six innings of work and got the win in melodramatic fashion as Ty Moore (Jr., OF) scored on a Trent Chatterton (Jr., INF) sac fly after leading off the 13th with a single back up the box.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Just a day after a heroic effort by Washington State Cougar Joe Pistoree evened the series, the No. 10 USC Trojan re-asserted their mettle with an 11-0 stomping to take the series win. Resilient freshman righty Mitch Hart improved to 4-0 in another brilliant performance, tossing a two-hitter while striking out five in a complete game effort.

Titans' sophomore Josh Estill smashed a three-run homer to capture a 4-3 lead that the pen would not be able to hold as it surrendered seven runs over the final three innings in the loss.
