At This Barber Shop, Children Get $2 Discount If They Read a Book
Lifestyle| | By YDD Contributor
If only adults could get a discounted haircut for reading a book, but hey, it's for the children.
A barber shop in Michigan knocks a couple of bucks off the price of a haircut for children on one condition: read a book.
In Ypsilanti, a town near Ann Arbor, MI, there is a barbershop called Fuller Cut that aims to improve the education of the children in their community by encouraging more reading.
And what better way to encourage kids to read than money.
If the child getting a haircut reads a book aloud to their barber during their haircut, they get a $2 discount.
"It's high on the top and short on the bottom, and lines that go in a diagonal line where the top is gonna be," explains 7-year-old Jozef Jason to nprEd, getting a mohawk at Fuller Cut.
"It's an amazing thing," said his dad, Keith, on the program. "It's helping my pockets, it's helping their education, and it's helping prepare a better future for them, so I love it."
The program would not have been possible if it weren't for employee Ryan Griffin who discovered the idea in action in Harlem, NY and brought it over to Ypsilanti.
After Griffin's boss gave the green light, the shop received dozens of books donated by the community for the children to check out during their grooming.
"We get complimented by teachers that will say it does so much for these kids throughout the school year," said Griffin.
The 20-year-veteran barber even partakes in quizzing his students/customers.
"… Maybe someday some kid will grow up and be a journalist, be a writer, and he'll say, 'You know what, when I was young, my barber used to make me read.'"
Thanks to Fuller Cut's initiative, over 100 children in the community and also nearby communities have come in for that sweet discount, spiffy haircut, and educational reading session.
Plus, the idea is something many shops across the country have also been executing, some calling it Groomed for Literacy.
Today, cities such as Houston, Dubuque, IW and Columbus, OH have the program or one like it and the overall success will surely inspire other cities to follow.

As an organic farmer I sometimes forget the GMO debate is still being… well, debated. As far as I'm concerned, there is no debate. We—meaning every American consumer—should know where our food comes from and what's in it and according to recent polls, 92% of Americans agree. This was really brought home to me recently when a good friend, mentor and fellow organic farmer, Mark Nightengale, mentioned that if he had to say which was more important in America today: the organic label or the non-GMO seal—even though organic has a certification process that is trackable, traceable and accountable and ensures the product is non-GMO—it only represents about 5% of the food sold in the US today. So what about the other 95%? If you are concerned about the possibility of GMOs in your non-organic food, then I suggest you look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal. With an estimated 80% or more of the US food supply containing at least a little GMOs, and with no mandatory labeling laws in the US regarding GMOs, it's consumer beware.
According to Consumer Reports March 2015, "If you want to be certain your food isn't made with GMOs, look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal, or buy organic." While we have been eating foods that contain GMOs for more than 15 years, supporters maintain there is no credible evidence people have been harmed. But saying there is no evidence of harm is not the same as saying they have been proven safe. While other developed nations use protocols recommended by a joint commission of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, where GMO labeling is mandatory in more than 60 countries, the US is still holding out.
I have to ask, if 92% of American's believe foods should be properly labeled, then why are we not doing it? There is a lot of money being spent on both sides of the issue, but the amounts spent are nowhere near balanced. Labeling campaigns are routinely outspent by anti-labeling interests by an average of nearly 6 to 1, as was seen in the Prop 37 campaign. With all this excessive money they convince voters the proposals are poorly written or the cost of their food will go up, misstating facts and planting seeds of doubt and confusion in order to discourage would-be voters from supporting GMO labeling. It's not a big surprise that much of the GMO labeling opposition comes from the GMO seed manufacturers and the food industry, which uses GMOs in their products. One main "selling point" for crops containing GMOs has been that they reduce the use of pesticides. But the truth is that it makes a big difference what kind of pesticides you are talking about. The use of insecticides (bug killers) has declined since these crops were introduced in the mid-90s, but the use of herbicides (weed killers), such as glyphosate—which is mostly sold under the brand name of Roundup®—has soared.
The majority of corn, soy, canola and sugar beets grown in the US are now genetically engineered and they can turn up in some unexpected places. For instance, some spices and seasoning mixes contain GMO corn and soy. And soft-drink ingredients that might be derived from genetically modified corn include not only corn syrup but also glucose, citric acid, colorings and the artificial sweetener aspartame.
From a farmer's perspective—organic or not—the really scary part of all this is that these chemicals are killing the soil and if we continue this way, our soil may never recover. Yes, I have a vested interest in protecting organic farming, but to me it's just common sense. My good friend Mark Nightengale's family had farmed with chemicals and by 1992 their farm in south-central Kansas was all but finished. Mark persuaded his family that organic was the only way to go and the naysayers all predicted they would lose the farm. But as Mark said, "It was already gone, there really was no other choice." After five years of cleaning the soil and using crop rotations, they now have a thriving organic farm.
I've only scratched the surface of GMOs and will continue to post articles on various aspects of the issue. But for now, I encourage you to consider what you know about the food you eat. Food is one of the great pleasures and fundamental necessities of life. It should bring us joy and health. Buy organic, look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal, and support both ventures so we can continue to make educated decisions about the foods we enjoy.

On Thursday he made up his mind, announcing that he had signed a one-year contract extension for Leinster and for Ireland. David Beckham goes, O'Driscoll stays – it is a matter of the timing being right.
The good news was offset by the irritation of O'Driscoll failing to recover from a back injury, ruling him out of the Amlin Challenge Cup final against Stade Français at the RDS in Dublin on Friday night.
O'Driscoll was only able to play a limited part in training on Wednesday. The consolation is that he will have another crack at bringing honours home for his province next season.
"Sir Alex did it exactly on his terms and that was quite befitting the man," said O'Driscoll, who acknowledged that his own agonising over the matter of his future was getting tiresome.
"I'm getting bored of the whole process and not being able to provide answers. It will be a big relief to have clarity on it all."
There is little doubt that the appointment of Joe Schmidt, his coach at Leinster, to the Ireland job will have played a part in O'Driscoll's decision.
Schmidt, with his sensitive, cerebral approach to coaching, has made his mark on O'Driscoll, rejuvenated and stimulated him which is no mean feat for a man in his 34th year and about to embark on his fourth British and Irish Lions tour.
"Joe has been excellent," O'Driscoll said of the man who helped to guide Leinster to successive Heineken Cup triumphs after arriving in Dublin from French club Clermont in 2011.
"I have learnt a huge amount from him. He has reignited many aspects for me as well as made me think anew about my game. It would be fitting to send him on his way by winning more European silverware."
It is a two-way street as regards compliments between the pair.
"Brian is an inspirational player, not only on the pitch but also on the training ground," Schmidt said yesterday. "I know that every squad of which he is a part will profit from his qualities both as a rugby player and a person."
The medical bulletins on O'Driscoll remain upbeat although the back spasm that forced him off early in the RaboDirect Pro12 semi-final victory against Glasgow Warriors last weekend is proving troublesome.
O'Driscoll was the only one missing from the kitting-out Lions gathering in London on Monday, unable to fly as he looked to rest his back.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland reported that he thought it would be a "48-hour" issue but that proved unduly optimistic. However, the expectation is that O'Driscoll will be right for the RaboDirect Pro12 final against Ulster next weekend.
O'Driscoll missed a chunk of the season with an ankle injury, and was forced to sit on the sidelines for a further three weeks after being banned for stamping on Italy's Simone Favaro, ruling him out of Leinster's Amlin Cup quarter-final win against Wasps.
O'Driscoll was sent to the sin-bin for the offence and was later cited, capping a rotten day all around as Ireland went down to the first Six Nations defeat to Italy and endured their worst championship since 1999.
O'Driscoll will be frustrated at missing the Amlin Cup final. He needs game time.
"You need time out there on the field to find form and feel sharp," O'Driscoll said. "I'm really looking forward to the Lions. I didn't know if I would make the selection cut.
"The last two tours – to New Zealand in 2005 when I was captain, and four year ago to South Africa when Geech [Sir Ian McGeechan] spoke to me to let me know that Paulie [Paul O'Connell] was captain – I knew that I would be travelling.
"Australia is my favourite place to tour, for the country as well as for the rugby. Of course, I would love to have a series victory. That's not on the CV but it is about setting out to enjoy the experience first and foremost."
O'Driscoll has already been in touch with 2013 Lions captain Sam Warburton. The presence of two such commanding figures as O'Driscoll and O'Connell could be unsettling for a rookie captain. O'Driscoll was quick to quash that theory.
"I've had contact already with Sam and he has my unwavering support," O'Driscoll said. "There is a lot of onus on you as a Lions captain."
Schmidt has had to shuffle his resources to cope with O'Driscoll's injury as well as to rest battered bodies ahead of the Ulster game.
Three front-line forwards – lock Leo Cullen and front-rowers Richardt Strauss and Cian Healy – are on the bench for the Amlin Cup final. Fergus McFadden partners Ian Madigan in the centre. Stade Français are at full strength.
Brian O'Driscoll is an Adidas ambassador and has been selected for the British and Irish Lions squad. Buy the Lions shirt from adidas.com and join the conversation @adidasUK #StandTogether

In 2002 the world lost the crystal lilt of Aaliyah. A few unreleased tracks accompanied a bitter sweet greatest hits collection the following year, but the world was left to wonder what could have been.
Now Drake has promised to release a whole album of previously unheard tracks he personally produced, but once again is it what's best for everyone involved? Would Aaliyah want people to hear these imperfect pieces and is this ultimately just drawing out the sense of loss of what could have come?

Two of the six articles take on current questions and developments: Hansjörg Herr analyzes the influence of the financial system on the soaring economic development in China. Thomas Palley shows that central banks have underestimated the emergence of asset bubbles and tries to answer the question of how to avoid this in the future. Three articles are dedicated to the determination, the role or the impact of various macroeconomic factors: consumption (Jan Oliver Menz), income distribution (Guglielmo Forges Davanzati/Andrea Pacella) and uncertainty (Finn Olesen). Finally, Paul Cockshott develops some new thoughts on the historic calculation debate.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis slammed the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar for 'stooping so low' over the alleged threats to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Fadnavis made the remark when Sharad Pawar on Sunday claimed that there was no substance in the assassination threats to Modi. The NCP supremo asserted that the letter (which was recovered by cops mentioning death threats to PM and Fadnavis both) was simply being used by the BJP to gain sympathy of the people.
Pawar told reporters, "The BJP says there was a threat letter. I spoke to a retired police officer, who had earlier worked for CID. He says that there's no substance in the letter. The letter is being used to gain people's sympathy."
Fadnavis, in his tweet, wrote, "It is very unfortunate that Sharad Pawarji is raising doubts about the communication seized by the police which reveals the plot to assassinate PM Narendra Modiji. He is the leader of our nation and not just of a political party."
He further tweeted, "@PawarSpeaks is not expected to stoop down to this level. Police has all the evidences and truth will prevail."
He wrote, "Pawarji should play politics of the nation and not politics of hatred."
The letter also stated, "We are thinking along the lines of another Rajiv Gandhi type incident." For the uninitiated, the 'threat' letter was recovered from Rona Wilson, one of the five people arrested from Mumbai, Nagpur and Delhi in connection with Bhima-Koregaon violence in the district that took place in December 2017 in Pune.
मा.पंतप्रधान श्री नरेंद्र मोदीजी यांच्या हत्येचा कट रचण्यासंदर्भातील पत्राबाबत शंका उपस्थित करणारे श्री शरद पवार यांचे वक्तव्य दुर्दैवी! पंतप्रधान हे पक्षाचे नाही,तर देशाचे नेते असतात. पवार साहेबांनी देशाचे राजकारण करावे,द्वेषाचे नाही!
पोलिसांकडे सर्व पुरावे आहेत,सत्य बाहेर येईलच

You can make losing weight easier if you implement the simple tips and tricks below. They are not complicated, but will make your slimming go faster and your overall health condition better. Even people who don't wish to lose weight can use these tips, as they will improve your health in general.
- Write down what you eat for one week and you will lose weight. Studies found that people who keep food diaries wind up eating about 15 percent less food than those who don't. Watch out for weekends!
- Watch one less hour of TV. People eat more when they watch TV. Sacrifice one program (there's probably one you don't really want to watch anyway) and go for a walk instead.
- Wait until your stomach rumbles before you reach for food. It's stunning how often we eat out of boredom, nervousness, habit, or frustration—so often, in fact, that many of us have actually forgotten what physical hunger feels like.
- Walk five minutes for at least every two hours. Stuck at a desk all day? A brisk five-minute walk every two hours will parlay into an extra 20-minute walk by the end of the day.
- Don't buy any prepared food that lists sugar, fructose, or corn syrup among the first four ingredients on the label. You should be able to find a lower-sugar version of the same type of food.
- Walk before dinner and you'll cut calories AND your appetite. In a study of 10 obese women, 20 minutes of walking reduced appetite and increased sensations of fullness as effectively as a light meal.

The leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.
This month, Americans are out in the streets, demanding police accountability. But rather than consider reform proposals, a key Senate committee is focused on giving unprecedented powers to law enforcement—including the ability to break into our private messages by creating encryption backdoors. This Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to debate and vote on the so-called EARN IT Act, S. 3398. It's a law that would allow the government to scan every message sent online. The EARN IT Act creates a 19-person commission that would be dominated by law enforcement agencies, with Attorney General William Barr at the top. This unelected commission will be authorized to make new rules on "best practices" that Internet websites will have to follow. Any Internet platform that doesn't comply with this law enforcement wish list will lose the legal protections of Section 230.
COVID-19 has pushed millions of people to work from home, and a flock of companies offering software for tracking workers has swooped in to pitch their products to employers across the country. The services often sound relatively innocuous. Some vendors bill their tools as "automatic time tracking" or "workplace analytics" software. Others market to companies concerned about data breaches or intellectual property theft. We'll call these tools, collectively, "bossware." While aimed at helping employers, bossware puts workers' privacy and security...

How to Save Money on Plane Tickets and Air Travel
Shopping around for cheap plane tickets is only step one as many discount flights have extra hidden costs that can jack up your total bill.
When you're going on a vacation, the last thing you want is for that trip to drive you into debt.
While that means planning ahead and budgeting for your trip, it also means saving as much money as you can on travel costs. And if you're flying, that means finding the cheapest tickets possible.
On that front, we've got some good news and some bad news.
"Today's travelers expect to score low-cost plane tickets whenever and wherever they fly. Budget carriers willingly offer more routes around the world with the lowest prices," said former travel agent and child passenger safety expert Grainne Kelly. "We can also compare the prices of flights with the many different websites available to travelers. With a discounted flight, we assume there will be fewer perks and passenger services, and we're typically fine with that for the reduced fare."
But all is not peachy keen in the world of budget traveling. As Kelly went on to explain, hidden fees and added costs can easily erase many of the hard-won savings that one has earned by shopping around.
Finding inexpensive tickets is the first step—and we've included many tips in this article to help you sniff them out. But once you've booked your flight, you'll have to keep an eye out for additional ways to save. Otherwise, you'll find yourself back at square one.
Book early.
"When should people book tickets for travel? Don't wait!" said Scott Wainner, founder & CEO the travel search engine (and app) Fareness.com. "In general, the longer you wait to book, the more expensive the airfare will be. Try to plan in advance and snag plane tickets as soon as you can."
Be flexible.
"Try to be open-minded when booking travel and don't get attached to one specific travel date and location," said Wainner. "Look around at prices, and then determine when and where you might want to travel to."
In this regard, sites like Fareness can be a useful tool for consumers, as they provide an easy way to compare ticket prices across different airlines and travel days.
The more flexible you are on your dates, your connections, and your departure times, the better able you'll be to find your cheapest option.
Try to get a bag checked for free.
Checking bags is going to cost you extra, especially on a discounted flight. But Kelly disclosed this helpful tip to try and get around paying that additional (often hefty) fee.
"If you have a larger carry-on and later decide after you go through security that you would rather check it, try to get it checked for free at the gate," she advised.
"Wait until everyone else boards the flight with their carry-ons, as the plane will likely run out of room for bags and the attendant will then check your carry-on suitcase for free for you."
"Always ask at the gate if there is room or if they should check your bag, as they are usually happy to check it. It makes it easier for them to ensure everything else fits in-cabin storage."
Watch out for hidden taxes.
Whenever you're making any large purchase, you should doublecheck that the price stated doesn't include any hidden costs—including taxes. The same holds true for airline tickets.
"It's never fun to realize the quoted online price does not include taxes until after you hit the purchase button," said Kelly. "Taxes can tack on several hundred dollars, resulting in your 'discounted' ticket not being as discounted as you assumed."
Are some days better than others?
This is one of the areas where there was a bit of a disagreement between Kelly and Wainner.
"The best time to buy domestic airfare is on Tuesdays around lunchtime," said Kelly, citing the fact that airline sales typically only last three days or less and tend to publish on Tuesdays. "Also," she added, "the best days to travel are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday."
While Tuesday has a reputation for being the best (aka, the cheapest) day to fly, Wainner disagreed with this assumption. "There really isn't one day that is best to book," he said. "Prices tend to fluctuate so it's important to search with enough time to get the best deal."
Wainner went on to describe how Fareness was designed to make comparing dates easier:
"We are the first and only site that enables consumers to select a specific city or an entire destination category along with a wide range of dates for travel to see the lowest prices trip options with a single and quick search," he said.
Travel in the off-season.
If you're flying at a time of year when everyone else is looking to travel, you're probably going to end up paying more. Luckily, the reverse is also true.
"Travel in the off-season, as you can get better deals for flights and hotels. Excursions and local sites also offer cheaper prices," said Kelly. "Another perk is that you don't have to fight as many tourists and can experience a private beach or more entertainment options."
As for flying on a holiday, Wainner said that this wouldn't always mean snagging a cheaper flight, but that it was certainly worth checking. And even when you're open to flying on a holiday, he stressed the importance of checking the surrounding dates to ensure you find the cheapest fare.
Prepare for a longer route.
If you're trying to save money on a flight, you might find yourself faced with a choice between picking the cheaper flight or the shorter one.
"Many discounted flights include at least one layover, sometimes two, depending on the destination," said Kelly. "So it will take longer to get to your endpoint and may include layovers that are lengthy.
But for those travelers looking to save money, a layover might be well worth it! And if they're willing to get up in the dead of night to make it to the airport, even better! According to Kelly, many discounted flights are offered at off-peak times, which means that they depart early in the morning or very late at night—sometimes both.
Always read the fine print.
Similar to keeping an eye out for added taxes, savers should carefully read the fine print and the terms and conditions to sniff out additional fees or costs.
"There could be charges for baggage, carry-ons, dimensions/weight of your baggage, snacks/meals, and more," said Kelly. "Be prepared ahead of time so you're not hit with sticker shock at the airport. This is how the airlines make up for missing revenue."
She went on to cite a rather innovative new way that airlines are starting to smuggle in extra costs. Luckily, this is one fee that's easy to avoid.
"Some airlines now charge to print boarding passes at the airport," she said. "Save yourself the fees and print them at home."
"Confirm every letter is correct and reconfirm the travel dates," she continued. "Changing even the smallest item can result in an additional charge."
Lay the groundwork for upgrades.
Wouldn't you love to fly in first class without having to pay first-class prices? If there are available first-class upgrades offered at the gate, you might well be able to!
There are a couple of things you can do to maximize your chances at scoring one. The first is a long-term bet, while the second is something you can do the day of.
"What's your best advice for scoring a free upgrade on a flight? Be loyal," advised Wanner. "Try to pick an airline and stick with it. The best way to score upgrades is to be a loyal flier and one with a lot of miles. So if you stick with one airline as much as possible, you have a better shot at the upgrade."
Kelly, meanwhile, suggested that you'll better your chance of moving to first-class by dressing the part. "Poise yourself for an upgrade by dressing in business casual," she said. "If your flight is oversold, you could potentially get upgraded to first-class, but your attire will play a part in the airline's decision."
She also mentioned one thing that you definitely shouldn't do: "Avoid asking for an upgrade at the ticket counter, as service staff are bombarded with upgrade requests and this might actually hurt your chances."
Seat assignments not guaranteed.
If you're not particular about where you sit, you'll have an easier time finding cheap fares.
"Most discount carriers do not offer seat assignments, but rather operate on a first come, first serve basis," explained Kelly. "So plan to be at the gate early to queue up for a decent seat next to your family or travel companion."
Keep an open mind.
"Check nearby airports, ones that you might not normally fly out of, as prices might be cheaper," advised Wainner. "I've been known to save $500 just by flying into a different airport!"
$500 in exchange driving an extra hour or two to another airport? Worth it!
Bring some snacks.
"Most discounted carriers no longer include meals in their flights and expect you to pay for them onboard. The standard soft drink and bag of pretzels will most likely not be included either," said Kelly.
"Plan ahead and pack yourself plenty of snacks and other food to tide you over until you reach your destination. Remember that you can't bring liquids through security, so you'll need to purchase them near your gate or onboard the flight."
Remember: Saving money on air travel starts with finding cheap tickets, but it doesn't end until you walk off that final flight.

At age 16, he built a hardware reviews site called SysOpt, and later sold it for $4M at age 21. He then created a business called ResellerRatings to help consumers shop safely online, which reached $6M/year in revenue and had 2,000 online retail customers. Wainner sold ResellerRatings to Answers.com in 2012 for $34M as the sole shareholder with no debt. Passionate about travel from an early age, Wainner conceived the idea for his next venture based on his own personal frustration to find the best fares. In planning all of that travel, he became frustrated with just how hard it is to find and compare airfares, and how many hours and days it takes to search for the many destination and date combinations needed to find the best fares. Fareness.com (@fareness) was launched in September 2016 as a solution to this problem, revealing fares across hundreds of dates and global destinations at a glance.

How to fix education
September 10, 2014 Leave a comment
I've become quasi-obsessed with education policy these days, I realize. Kind of like where I was with health care policy 5 years ago. Anyway, I've really been enjoying reading reviews and excerpts of Dana Goldstein's new book, The Teacher Wars. Richard Kahlenberg has a great essay in TNR that reviews this book along with Elizabeth Green's Building a Better Teacher (I'm definitely looking forward to reading both). The main thrust of the essay is that liberal reformers have made a huge mistake in adopting the center-right's testing/teacher accountability approach. And I think the best evidence (and these books) suggests that Kahlenberg is right. Near the beginning of the piece, this really caught me:
The first premise of the education reformers, says Goldstein, is that "the all-powerful individual teacher" is "solely responsible for raising student achievement in measurable ways." To say otherwise is to be making "excuses." In a 2007 speech, candidate Barack Obama declared: "From the moment our children step into a classroom, the single most important factor determining their achievement is not the color of their skin or where they come from; it's not who their parents are or how much money they have. It's who their teacher is."
Oh, Barack! Did Obama actually believe that when he was saying it? I don't know if I'd prefer the answer to be yes or no. Either way, it is so demonstrably not true. If only things were so simple:
The statement came as a great surprise to education researchers, who have consistently found that while teachers are important, family socioeconomic status is a much more powerful predictor of academic achievement. In fact, Goldstein notes, research finds that differences in teacher quality account for "perhaps 7 percent" of the achievement gap.
Alas, we have had testing-based reform:
Instead, the Obama administration's signature 2009 Race to the Top education initiative had at its centerpiece the idea that America's school teachers should be ranked, from top to bottom, based on how much value they added as measured by student test scores. If merit pay bonuses were put in place to ensure that disadvantaged students consistently got the best teachers rather than the worst, Green reports, reformers made the audacious claim that after four years they could "close the black-white test score gap."
These extravagant promises immediately ran into a number of difficulties. To begin with, there were practical problems in accurately assessing teacher contributions to student test scores. The RAND corporation warned that "the current research base is insufficient to support the use of VAM [value added measurement] for high-stakes decisions." Using one year of data, more than one-third of teachers were misclassified, Goldstein writes, and using three years of data, one-quarter remained erroneously classified—meaning an average teachers was classified as ineffective or excellent, or an excellent or terrible teacher was labeled average. Moreover, because testing was mostly focused on math and reading in grades 3-8, two-thirds of teachers weren't appropriately measured…
The ranking of teachers in a competition for merit pay also undermined what educators have long known is a key to successful schools: collaboration among educators.
So, what do we do? Answers:
To attract stronger teachers to the profession, Goldstein calls for an across-the-board pay raise. The U.S. has historically relied on low-paid female teachers to be "wholly unselfish, self-abnegating and morally pure," Goldstein writes. Not surprisingly, this stingy approach has limited appeal to many top-notch college graduates, and a majority of public school teachers have below-average SAT scores. The median income for American teachers is similar to police officers and librarians and significantly less than accountants, registered nurses, or dental hygienists, Goldstein reports. In high-achieving nations like Korea, teachers have 250 percent of the local buying power of American teachers…
Along the same lines, Green wants to see tests used as diagnostic tools to identify areas where teachers can improve rather than as clubs to inflict punishment. Because both education school professor and education reformers are converging around the idea that it is possible to build a better teacher, Green notes that the Gates Foundation, which has a pushed hard for a rank-and-stack approach, is now giving grants to coach teachers to improve their craft.
It is a shame that these two books are being published toward the end of the Obama administration rather than at the beginning. If their insights had been known then, Democrats might not have unilaterally disarmed in the education wars. They might have used the special opportunity provided by election of an inspiring African American president to push a genuinely forward-looking agenda that supports our nation's teachers rather than demoralizing them.
Or short version, i.e., my latest mantra… treat teachers like professionals an pay them like professionals.
I was actually discussing this with my son David today and he asked me about prospects for change. At first I was quite pessimistic, but in truth, one big thing would really help. Just get Bill Gates on board. Looks like there's at least some progress in that area.
On a related note, really enjoyed this Vox excerpt from Goldstein's book on the Teach for America program.

We interview owner Bob — yes, sellin' the tiki for 57 years!
If you are looking for tiki decor — we have discovered the motherlode of all tiki suppliers: Oceanic Arts — via catalog and live in Whittier, Calif. — which has been sellin' the tiki for 57 years. Wow — what an amazing story — the real-deal, authentic mid century way to do tiki — from the team there right from the start.
Reader LarsErik gets the props for this tip. He saw the three tiki bar mood boards that Eartha Kitsch, Pam and I recently worked on, and pointed us to Oceanic Arts. LarsErik's wrote:
Kate, if you happen to live in Southern California, the absolute BEST place in the world to find Polynesian treasures of every variety is Oceanic Arts in Whittier. These are the guys who have done the decor for many of the beloved tiki restaurants/bars back in the day, and their carvings can be seen in Disneyland in and around The Enchanted Tiki Room. They carry mugs, party supplies, lighting, fantastic carvings, thatching, bamboo… you name it. And it is old-school great stuff. Their website doesn't really show anything at all, but it does have the info where to find their shop. It is worth the drive!
Unfortunately, I don't happen to live in Southern California — and it is quite a drive from Wisconsin — so I contacted Oceanic Arts to learn more about this source for Tiki decor. Bob — one of the company's owners — quickly replied with a history of the company:
Myself (Bob) and business partner LeRoy and I met in Junior College and LeRoy said he had been carving some Palm Frond Masks. I visited him and the masks were wonderful and we talked about selling them. We did some mosaics which had the masks mounted on them and they sold well. We began working in our garage and we met a Robert Carter who was doing some minor importing from the South Pacific and sold to Vic Bergeron of Trader Vic's and to Donn Beach of the Don the Beachcombers fame. We began carving Tiki Posts for Carter while going to college in the days. We decided a trip to the South Seas was in order so we could learn of their ways and do sourcing of materials. We got a loan on my Corvette and borrowed some from Carter and left for the South Seas. Traveled 37,000 miles and spent 3-1/2 months in the islands.
At this point we started on our own and began carving and selling to restaurant/bars with tropical themes. We have outgrown 3 buildings and now have 17,000 sq. ft. in 3 buildings. 57 years in the Tropical Decor field — all possible with our great employee team and the best customers in the World!
Bob has been in the "tiki" business for 57 years now — an undoubted expert — and agreed to answer my questions:
I see you have been open since 1956 — that makes you an authentic retro business! Have you supplied tiki decor to any of the "famous" mid century tiki bars that opened in the 50s and 60s and are still around today?
Perhaps the most famous ones from the mid 1960's are the Tonga Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, several Trader Vic's and the famous Mai Kai in Ft. Lauderdale.
Since opening in 1956, have you noticed that tiki decor for both commercial and residential purposes has remained steady in popularity, or has it fluctuated throughout the years?
Tiki Decor was slow in 1980's, although we supplied 8 Tiki Tiki Restaurant/Bars in Japan. The home tiki bar business really took off when the The Book of Tiki (affiliate link) was written by Sven Kirsten. The book showed many tropical installations. We sold 150 copies of the book in less than 2 months to tiki fans. We have supplied many bars in Europe over the years.
Tell me about some of the items you carry that might be of interest to someone who is trying to construct their own at home tiki bar. Or better yet — if you were making your own at home tiki room, what would be your top five "must have" recommendations for tiki decor?
We import most of the materials required for a home tiki bar. Lauhala Matting from the Phillipines is a time tested material for the wainscotor lower wall area. Trim it out with half round bamboo poles, then contact cement above the Lauhala other varied mattings, apply a Fijian Tapa Cloth and a few South Seas artifacts such a war clubs, and carved wood masks. Put over the bar area a canopy of Woven Raincape Thatch, plus in a few colored Glass Fish Net Floats with lights and amust have is a Lighted Pufferfish or two. Add a few carved wood tiki'son the floor and one has a very relaxing tiki bar room.
What percentage of your products are made by you in house? Do you do a lot of custom work or is most of it made to order from your catalog?
We make about 15% of decor in our shop — mostly custom for commercial jobs. Tiki customers do order special carvings from time to time and some special tropical lights. We make up lighted Puffer fish and keep many in stock. We have 3 warehouses in Whittier, CA to store imported items such as Raincape thatch, thatch Palapa Umbrella Covers in 4 diameters. Bamboo Fencings and about 20 different Mattings from the South Pacific.
Can you list a few current day restaurants/hotels/etc. or film/TV productions that you have supplied decor to?
Restaurants & bars: Foundation Bar/Milwaukee, Adrift/Denver, Trader Vic's/Chicago, Don theBeachcomber/Huntington Beach, Bali Hai remodel/San Diego, Canoe House/S.Pasadena, Tiki Iniki/Kauai, Tiki No/N.Hollywood, Tiki Beat Bar/Perth,Australia, Tiki Inn/Lithuania, Hale Pele/Portland and at Disneyland: Trader Sams Bar and the Tangaroa Terrace.
A few TV and Movie Productions supplied: All four Pirates of the Caribbean, Storage Wars, Last Resort, Weeds Season 8, How I met your Mother, Revenge, Big Brother 14, Austin & Ally, It's a Laugh and many more.
Bob and I had one of those "it's a small world" moments when he mentioned suppling decor to the owner of Foundation Bar in Milwaukee — where not long ago I sat enjoying my tropical drink and marveling at the puffer fish lights hanging over the bar. Wouldn't you know it — the owner of Foundation found his puffer fish lights during a trip to visit Oceanic Arts.
For those of you who are close enough to plan a day trip to Oceanic Arts — I envy you. For all of the rest of us — Oceanic Arts puts out a catalog which can be purchased for $10 by simply calling, faxing or emailing the shop. The website does say, "Full website coming soon," but Bob says it has been that way for years. He did mention that they hope to have a more complete website in the next year or so — but are unsure if they will include e-commerce — but they are currently working on an improved, full color catalog.
In the meantime visit OceanicArts.com to see a list of products and services they offer. Mega thanks to Bob for sending the great pictures and information for this story, and to reader LarsEric for the invaluable tiki tip!
I recently saw a story on Texas Country Reporter about a man that carves tikis with a chain saw. He has a place called Tiki Loco in Crystal Beach, TX (east of Galveston). Here's a link: http://tikiloco.webs.com/
Time for a road trip!
Oceanic Arts is the real deal. I do most of my shopping there. 😉
Bamboo Ben
Kate! So glad to read your story about Oceanic Arts! It is worth every mile to find it. We live in North Carolina, but visit southern California regularly as my husband is from there. Several years ago, I found a big old shell light in an antique store back here, and it now hangs in my home. I always thought I could find out more about it, from the folks at OA. So next time we went out, we headed over to Whittier. When I asked the girl at Oceanic's front desk about it, she called Bob up from the depths of the warehouse. He had us flipping through old brochures of the items they have carried over the years, and we finally figured I had a hanging lamp that may have been displayed over a bar in a restaurant, dating from the 60's or 70's. Bob is a gracious guy and treated us like he had all the time in the world to chat! We call our well worn catalogue – the wish book! Thanks to you and Pam for all you do!
"Puffer fish lights"? Gross. I like this homemade fish-free version instead!
OK, not the most convincing lookalike but so much more of a talking point and no animal harmed, unless it falls down and lands on, say, a passing cat…

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's government has drawn up a 300 billion baht (6.0 billion pounds) plan for water management and flood prevention schemes along the Chao Phraya river basin to prevent a repeat of devastating floods last year.
Outgoing Finance Minister Thirachai Phuvanatnaranubala has said another 50 billion baht could be spent on 17 related river basins and other infrastructure.
Here are key points:
* The Chao Phraya river basin will be divided into two areas. The first area of 35,000 sq km is most vulnerable to floods. It is home to 18 million people, with 80 percent agricultural land and the rest for residential, commercial and industrial use, a statement from the Deputy Prime Minister's office showed.
The second area of 123,000 sq km is outside the flood zone. It is home to 7 million people, living mostly in forest and agricultural areas and less likely to be badly flooded.
* A 10 billion baht plan for forest restoration and conservation plus the construction of dikes along upstream areas of the Ping, Nan, Wang, Yom and Sakae Krang river basins. The Ping and Nan are main tributaries of the Chao Phraya, which flows from north to south through Bangkok.
* 50 billion baht to build reservoirs along the Yom, Nan, Sakae Krang and Pa Sak river basins.
* 60 billion baht to convert 2 million rai (800,000 acres) of Chao Phraya plains farmland for the retention of 6-10 billion cubic metres of floodwater.
* 120 billion baht for the construction of floodways and flood diversion channels allowing flows of at least 1,500 million cubic metres per second. Immediate work this year would include the enhancement of dikes, sluice gates and canals.
* 50 billion baht for city and land use planning.
* 7 billion baht for "the enhancement of rivers and dikes."
* 3 billion baht for database and warning systems and the establishment of related organisations.
* On January 10, the cabinet approved a decree that authorises the government to seek funding of 350 billion baht ($11 billion) for projects that involve rebuilding and flood prevention work.
As a comparison, the government's budget deficit for the fiscal year to September 2012 was originally supposed to be 350 billion baht. The cabinet approved an increase to 400 billion in mid-October to allow it to spend more on reconstruction.
* Deputy Prime Minister and incoming Finance Minister Kittirat Na Ranong said at the weekend that some of the funding would come from overseas sources, with technical assistance, implying it would be a multilateral lender such as the World Bank.
However, he said most of the funding would come from local sources. He did not specify whether this would be from bond sales, bank loans or other sources.
He said 17 billion baht of the spending would be accounted for in the 2011/12 fiscal budget.
* He has said the borrowing would raise the ratio of public debt to GDP by just 2-3 percentage points. Debt is expected to rise to 43.5 percent of GDP this fiscal year from 41.03 percent in October. By law it can go as high as 60 percent.
* The cabinet also agreed to support the establishment of a flood-related insurance fund. The Finance Ministry would seek funding of 50 billion baht for this.
* In addition, the Bank of Thailand is empowered to provide 300 billion baht ($9.45 billion) in soft loans to help manufacturers and individuals hurt by the floods. The Bank of Thailand could ask commercial banks to provide 30 percent of the total, Kittirat said.
* To help with the funding, the government has, by decree, shifted responsibility for servicing 1.14 trillion baht ($35.9 billion) in debt owed by the Financial Institutions Development Fund (FIDF) to the central bank.
The FIDF is a special vehicle used to bail out banks during the Asian crisis. Its interest costs amount to more than 60 billion baht a year, paid until now from the fiscal budget.
The principal was already the responsibility of the central bank. It was supposed to pay this down from its profits, but in most recent years the central bank has made a loss.
The Bank of Thailand had opposed the transfer of responsibility.
Outgoing Finance Minister Thirachai has said the ministry would keep issuing bonds to roll over matured FIDF debt until the central bank came up with a plan to pay it off. About 340 billion baht of FIDF bonds will mature this year, he added.
Bank of Thailand Governor Prasarn Trairatvorakul has said the commitment to continue issuing government bonds to cover the FIDF debt ensured the central bank would not have to print money to cover it, which could have fuelled inflation.

Curriculum vitae: Partha KarBMJ 2017; 357 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.j2212 (Published 18 May 2017) Cite this as: BMJ 2017;357:j2212
Partha Kar spent the first seven years of his life in the West Midlands but moved to Kolkata, India, to do the bulk of his schooling and his medical degree. He returned to the UK in 1999 and became a consultant in 2008. He is an enthusiastic user of social media and says he is happy to be in the limelight. He is married and has two children.
I've had two great inspirations in my career: Tony Zarlin, with whom I did my clinical attachment when I first moved back to the UK, and David Jenkins, a diabetologist at Worcester Hospital. It was with David that I really came into my own as a doctor. Tony used to tell me how much I could improve a patient's life by being part of their journey.
High expectations
When I was growing up in India, if you wanted to get on in life you either became a doctor or an engineer. I look at my younger cousins and they have so many more opportunities now. My parents were both doctors and there was a lot of expectation to follow the same path. My sister is the black sheep of the family—she's an engineer.
Sink or swim
I had a baptism of fire when I moved to a high flying diabetes team in Bournemouth in 2002. It was a super specialised centre and they expected me to know about things like insulin pumps. It took me back to the days of being a house officer when you didn't know what was going on. It was sink or swim.
Low point
The lowest point of my career was when I applied for a registrar job in Wessex and was told that "people like me" wouldn't get a job there. I didn't have a job, I didn't know what to do and thought about switching specialties. I was at a meeting and met a consultant from Portsmouth, who offered me an amazing opportunity. It was a turning point in my career.
Social media
Twitter is great for interacting with patients and politicians. I'm quite open with my opinions but if you stick your head above the parapet you have to be prepared to take some flak.
Fresh pair of eyes
I stepped down as clinical director of my department after five years because, unless you're a leader like Alex Ferguson, there comes a time when a team needs a fresh pair of eyes.
The job will always have its level of monotony so it's good to be able to explore different things. The NHS is not Disneyland but neither is it Mordor. The more you explore different areas the more likely it is you'll find your niche. If you enjoy your job, everything else falls into place.
Career highs
I love comics, especially Batman. I had the idea of creating a comic book for children with type 1 diabetes to help them understand their condition and look after themselves. The job will always be the job but this is the fun part that keeps it interesting.
Back of a taxi
I had another great idea when chatting to Catherine Peters (consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital) in the back of a taxi. We were talking about the TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) talks and came up with the idea of TAD talks—Talking About Diabetes. Who better to inspire people with type 1 diabetes than other people with type 1 diabetes? We got various people to come along and talk about their condition, such as Sky news presenter Stephen Dixon. We wanted to get the message across that the condition is not a barrier.
Inside the tent
In my current NHS England role I have learnt political and negotiating skills, but most importantly that if you want to change things you've got to be inside the tent arguing your case, not outside.

They will become familiar with the so-called progressive movement and its regulatory offspring, the independent agency, with the New Deal regulatory agenda, with the post-World War II consensus embodying the Administrative Procedure Act, with the problem of capture, with aggressive modes of judicial review in response, with the problem ossification of rule-making, and with an array of judicial reinterpretations of settled precedents. This focus on doctrinal coherence and historical background provides a rich intellectual experience.

It is commendable that you are reading this blog in the hope to find a clue, maybe an answer to a challenge you are facing. The answer to most of your life's challenges are… take action. Occasionally, you will find solitude and inaction are perfect responses to a situation. However, in most of our lives, the obstacle becomes the way (as Ryan Holiday would say).
To greet resistance in any aspect of your life with action is the smart way forward.
Are You Acting On Your Plans?
Simple question… you have goals which you have likely converted into plans and strategies. What is the progress on your plans? Are you giving up when the action starts to challenge you?
Perhaps, you have stopped acting on your plans because you are 'busy.' It's time to start aligning your actions with goals.
Stop Watching And Start Acting
YouTube and Instagram provide sufficient inspiration in the form of videos. But if you are allowing yourself to be distracted watching other people achieve their dreams, what is to be expected of your dreams?
I encourage you to watch videos that inspire, instruct and show you a way forward. And then, immediately transform the inspiration into action.
Stop Reading And Start Acting
If you are constantly reading books, blogs, and self-help articles, you already know what you need to do.
Reading is never an excuse not to act.
You should be working simultaneously on making your dream a reality. If you are a writer for instance, reading about writing will only get you so far. Acting on building a blog, a subscriber base with an email list, and publishing quality content daily will take you to the next level.
So, instead of looking everywhere for help, make a firm decision to start acting on your problems.

MCPS Examining Ways To Increase Recess Time
Pilot program in wellness initiative would be tried at six elementary schools
Photo via MCPS
A pilot program that would expand recess time at six elementary schools is being considered by the Montgomery County school system as part of a new initiative to get students more physically active.
The initiative, outlined in a memo to school board members that contains limited detail, would begin in the fall and is designed to "allow increased time for unstructured physical activity during the school day," according to school board documents.
Consideration of a county program comes after perennial efforts to mandate 90 minutes of physical education time for all Maryland students each week failed again in this year's state legislature.
"This program will allow participating schools to arrange schedules with increased opportunities for kinesthetic breaks and/or extended recess," according to school board documents, which spell out that teachers would select and run the additional activities and participation would be voluntary.
Superintendent Jack Smith has said the school system is aware of the importance of physical activity, noting it can improve academic performance, students' ability to focus and overall wellness. He has said the increased recess initiative is part of a larger-scale "Be Well 365: The Framework to Support the Physical, Social and Psychological Well-being of All Students" program to be discussed at a school board meeting next week.
National guidelines cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest children from ages 6 to 17 should get at least one hour of physical activity a day.
Along with the recess initiative, 65 elementary and middle schools have collaboratively established a "Local School Wellness Council" of staff, students, parents and community members to promote ways to enhance student health, including physical activity.
A memo to the school board said results of the pilot programs will help guide larger-scale physical activity initiatives that have "minimal impact" on instructional time.

CLEVELAND – A Cuyahoga County Probate Court has started issuing marriage license to gay couples following the Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex couples have a right to marry in all 50 states.
The ruling doesn't take effect immediately because the court gives the losing side roughly three weeks to ask for reconsideration, but Cuyahoga County Probate Court Presiding Judge Anthony J. Russo says it's clear what the court's intention was.
Forty-four-year-old Rob Rivera and 34-year-old Dan Seifried of Cleveland Heights were the first pair to apply for a marriage license in the county court following the ruling.
The couple plans to be married Friday evening by Cleveland Councilman Joe Cimperman in front of family and friends.
What do you need to know get a marriage license in Cuyahoga County?
Here's a rundown of what's required:
- The fee for a Marriage License is $60.00. The court accepts cash, money order, cashier's check, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express credit or debit cards. There is a $2.95 convenience fee to use a credit or debit card.
- Bring a valid photo id: such as a passport, driver's license. Your birth certificate will also be needed to verify certain information.
- In the State of Ohio, the application for a marriage license must be made in the county of either applicant. If neither applicant is a resident of Ohio, the application must be made in the county in which the ceremony is performed.
- Both parties are required to be present at the time of making the application for the marriage license. If either, or both applicants are physically incapacitated, their physician must complete and affidavit as to the physical disability, and this affidavit shall be filed with the application for the marriage license.
- Each applicant must provide a social security number.
- If either party has been divorced, the places, dates and case numbers of the divorces are required. A certified copy of the last divorce decree must be presented at the time of application.
- Please note that the license is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance.
- Cuyahoga County will let you pre-register for a marriage license. You will need to enter the following information: your address, your occupation, your father's name, your mother's maiden name and the city and state you were born in. Even if you don't pre-register, you will need this information too.

When to Do What
The OAP uses the calendar year (CY) as the basis for its annual cycle to align with the tax year. It uses the first quarter of the following year as its Annual Finalization Period. For example, Jan. 1 through March 31 of 2014 was the Annual Finalization Period for the 2013 calendar year. Thus, during this time period, faculty and staff disclosed activities and resolved actual or potential conflicts of interest and/or conflicts of commitment that took place the previous year, CY2013. They will also finalize these activities and declare them ended through a certification process. At the same time and through the rest of CY2014, they will be doing the same for activities originating in CY2014.
Activities During Fall 2014
In the past, faculty and staff have filed Requests for Outside Employment at the start of the fall semester and any time thereafter during the academic year (AY) with each new outside employment. These requests expired at the end of the academic year and had to be renewed for the subsequent AY if they extended into the next AY. Under the new policy (HOP 5-2011), the Calendar Year (CY) is the basis for filing Requests for Prior Approval. Faculty and staff will file those requests at the start of the CY for any new or continuing outside activity or within a CY whenever it occurs. If the activity extends beyond the end of the CY, then a new Request needs to be filed to cover that extension. This is easily accomplished using the Duplicate feature in the Request for Prior Approval process. Supervisors will review and approve these Requests as appropriate.
Each Request for Prior Approval created in UT System's OAP generates a Disclosure which is finalized by the faculty member or staff any time after the disclosure is created, the activity is approved, once the outside activity is completed, or during the Annual Finalization Period, i.e., the first quarter of the subsequent CY. If the activity continues past a given calendar year then not only can the Request for Prior Approval be extended easily but the Disclosure may be also.
With the start of the Fall 2014 semester, faculty and staff may file Requests for Prior Approvals for outside activities that start during the fall semester as well as those that begin after Jan. 1 (the beginning of CY2015). These requests are good for one year only, so Requests for Prior Approval submitted at the start of the Fall 2014 semester that extend into the next calendar year will need to be renewed sometime on or after Jan. 1 so the activity is ultimately disclosed during the Annual Finalization Period.
Activities During CY 2015
During the first quarter of CY2015 (Jan. 1 through March 31, 2015), Disclosures for outside employment and other activities that took place in CY2014 must be finalized. Once faculty and staff have checked over these disclosures and confirmed they are accurate and complete, they finalize the disclosures (in effect, they electronically sign the disclosures) then certify them, all within the "Make A Disclosure" portal. Once certified the disclosures may not be edited or deactivated.
Requests for Prior Approval can be made anytime during the calendar year, but these Requests must be prepared and submitted before the outside employment or activity actually begins so they may be reviewed and approved by the supervisor. Many of these Requests may have been submitted at the start of the fall 2014 semester as noted above and carried forward. When possible, faculty and staff should prepare these requests at the start of CY2015 to stay in the calendar year cycle. However, if the outside employment or activity is scheduled to start during the fall 2014 semester, then "Requests for Prior Approval" must be submitted before that employment or activity begins. Supervisors will review and approve these Requests as they are submitted.
Outside employment or activity that will continue beyond CY2015 can easily be accommodated within the "Request for Prior Approval" portal using the Duplicate feature. All of the information submitted will be duplicated except the start and end dates, and that information must be updated.
Disclosures may also be made anytime during CY2015. Any changes in the Disclosure that take place before the Annual Finalization Period begins can be made during that period. Disclosures may also be carried forward for outside activities that extend beyond the calendar year.

CHICAGO — In the fall of 2017, the headlines about Hollywood mogul and famed movie producer Harvey Weinstein were inescapable. First the New York Times, then the New Yorker's explosive article. It included victims' interviews — women detailing the dark and potentially criminal life of one of Hollywood's most powerful men.
The headlines ultimately launched the #MeToo movement. Women worldwide came forward with their own harrowing stories of alleged sexual misconduct from casting couches to C-suites at major corporations.
Rich McHugh was a seasoned television investigative producer when he and his reporting partner at NBC News in New York embarked on a journey that unlocked one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood.
As McHugh and reporter Ronan Farrow turned up the heat on Weinstein, they quickly learned Weinstein turned up the heat on them, too.
Two years later, at age 44, McHugh sat down with WGN's Julie Unruh to share his story — one jeopardizing the television network career that took him around the world as a producer. He had stints at Fox News, ABC and finally at NBC when he, in the end, became part of the story — the story he was pursuing on behalf of women who say they were sexually abused by Weinstein.
Julie Unruh has more.
