Will competition cure Head Start?

On a sunny afternoon in October, the staff at the Singing River Head Start center in Lucedale, Miss., put on a show. It was Head Start Awareness Month (designated by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s), and they wanted to mark the occasion. Children filed into the hall and watched enthralled as the educational manager, Tina Brown, led her all-female staff in a raucous rendition of a song, "Every Child Should Have a Head Start," that felt more tent revival than schoolhouse. Hands clapped, feet stomped and the children sang along when they got to the chorus: "Let's keep Head Start rolling."

Despite their enthusiasm, the staff here has little reason to celebrate. In late 2011, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the federal agency that runs the Head Start program, cracked down on Singing River and 131 other centers in the U.S. as part of a new nationwide project to improve the quality of early childhood education. The agency has estimated that every year about one third of Head Start programs being evaluated under new rules will fail to meet a set of quality markers. (The nation's 1,600 Head Start programs are reviewed every three years, so not every center has been subjected to the new rules yet.) Those falling short, like Singing River, must compete for grants that used to be reissued almost automatically. In December, Singing River will find out whether it will receive more federal funding or if it will be forced to close next year.
The hope is that a jolt of competition will cure some of the problems facing the nearly $8 billion Head Start program, which was started in the 1960s as a preschool program for children living in poverty and now serves about 900,000 low-income children from birth to age five.
Much of the concern about Head Start quality stems from a federal study begun in 2000 that found disappearing gains for Head Start children. In the study, children enrolled in Head Start made significant academic progress compared to low-income children who weren't enrolled, even though many of those non-Head Start kids attended other preschool programs. But after first grade, the academic differences between the groups leveled off.
Republicans in Congress have call for reducing funding for the program. To keep this from happening, the Obama administration is working on a set of reforms to improve Head Start outcomes including the use of competition, a strategy the White House also favors in the K-12 sector. With its Race to the Top competition, for example, the administration encouraged states and nonprofit organizations to propose new reforms and gave out federal dollars to the ones with the best applications. In the case of Head Start, though, the possibility that some centers will be shut down—and that local nonprofits or even for-profit companies could be awarded the grant money—takes the administration's embrace of competition to a new level.

"We are introducing unprecedented accountability in the Head Start program," said U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius in a statement last year, when the new rules were first announced. "We owe Head Start children the highest quality services available to prepare them for school and for life."
Going forward, Head Start centers must meet seven conditions that ACF considers markers of quality—including high ratings on classroom evaluations performed by an outside contractor and setting goals for children's school readiness—or they will have to reapply for their grants in open competition.
But for the first round, however, ACF did not use the classroom evaluations or academic goals to review programs—instead, it used just five criteria, including whether a center has lost its state license, but also whether it had been marked "deficient" on at least one Head Start requirement in its latest review. For instance, one of the largest Head Start grantees in the nation, New York City's Administration for Children's Services, which serves 120,000 families, could lose its grant over "administrative deficiencies" with its workers' health insurance. The Los Angeles County Office of Education, another large agency, might lose its grant over misfiled paperwork.
The main reason Singing River could lose its funding, according to Singing River's director, Billy Knight, is an incident in 2010 in which a bus driver allowed a child to get off the bus in a church parking lot before his mother arrived. The mother filed a complaint. Knight suspended the bus driver and a bus monitor without pay, and held training sessions for the staff. Although he doesn't deny that the incident was serious, he says his program has rectified the problem and doesn't deserve to be driven out of business as a result. "It had nothing to do with our instruction," Knight said. "It had nothing to do with the quality of programs." ACF did not respond to a question about why Singing River was placed in competition.
Injecting competition into the system
Competition is not completely new to Head Start. "There's always been a process to help programs improve, or if it was determined that they were not going to meet the standards, to help other programs step in," said Nita Thompson, director of the Mississippi Head Start Association. But previously, programs risked losing their grants only if they had egregious safety problems, repeat violations or serious financial troubles. Closing a program over instructional quality was nearly unheard of.

Responses to Head Start's grant competition have been mixed, but mostly positive among early childhood advocates. "To give other people the opportunity to come in with some creative and innovative approaches, but still keep the flavor and spirit of Head Start, I think that's a good thing," Thompson said. "When Head Start is done right, there's nothing better."
In Lucedale, people like the concept of injecting competition into the system but worry the current process could derail a program with a good track record and deep local roots, and leave the community in the lurch. Douglas Luce is the president of the Century Bank, a regional institution, and a former board member at Singing River. "Competition makes everybody better, but I think you better make sure the program you're messing with is actually bad," he said. "I can tell you this one is a good one."
Singing River is a small program that serves only 159 students. The center is located amid pine forests and cotton fields down a country road about 15 minutes outside of Lucedale, the only incorporated town in George County. Work here is scarce; the middle-class families who live in a scattering of new subdivisions tend to commute to Mobile, Ala., or elsewhere on the Gulf Coast. For those without a college degree, the biggest employer in town is Walmart, Knight said. Most of the children at Singing River are white, but there is also a significant number of black students and a handful of Hispanic children.
The one-story building is a former 1930s high school with no central air conditioning but teachers have made the place cheerful with painted murals and student art. They have also updated how they teach. Terra Johnson, 40, has taught at Singing River for 15 years and attended the center as a child. "We do a lot more now getting them prepared for kindergarten," she said. "When I first started, we taught 10 letters. Now we teach 26. We're doing Spanish, counting to 100. It's a whole lot more."
On a recent fall day, her students spent a few minutes of downtime after an afternoon nap practicing simple arithmetic problems. Camila Cristobal, who just turned 5, successfully added 5 and 3 together by drawing dots next to the equation and counting up to 8. She declared that her favorite things about school were math and homework, when she practices writing her letters.
Teachers at Singing River say they try to make academics fun. Nearly every activity involves singing, dancing or playing games. Social development—learning to share, stand in line, and resolve fights over toys peacefully—is as critical as learning to count, teachers say. "You have to create a vibrant, loving environment," said Ammie Osborne, a teacher who has spent five years at Singing River and sent her daughter here. Parents and community leaders say that is exactly what the program has done. "At Head Start, you walk in and feel like it's your family," said Shyanne Hand, whose two children, Emma, 5, and Landon, 8, attended Singing River. "They turn every small thing into learning."

Although an ACF spokesman would not confirm whether Singing River had submitted the only grant application for Mississippi's George County, Knight said the competition has already been helpful in some ways. "This is an opportunity to change and do something different," he said. Singing River has increased its communication with the school district, for instance, to ensure its curriculum is connected to what children will learn in kindergarten. Anecdotally, kindergarten teachers at the local schools gave the center excellent reviews, but in the future Singing River and the schools hope to track outcomes to see if Head Start alumni actually perform better than their peers.
At the same time, however, the center has had to devote extra resources and time in preparing its application—time it might otherwise have spent on fundraising or training. To improve, what Singing River really needs is more money, according to teachers, board members and administrators. The program's budget has stayed flat for years, Knight said, even as costs have risen for necessities like milk, classroom supplies and gas for school buses. Under federal regulations, the center must raise at least 20 percent of its budget from the community, which it struggles to do because of the depth of poverty and lack of industry in the area. "We have enough trouble trying to sustain the program year after year," said Chris Smith, a car salesman who serves on the Singing River board of directors and who sent his two sons to the center. "Going through the re-compete process, I really don't feel that based on our record it was merited."
People in Lucedale have another question about the choice to make Singing River fight for its grant: Who would take over Lucedale's Head Start program if Singing River is closed? "I can't think of anybody in George County who would want to take this on," said Terri Nyman, special education director for the George County public schools. In other states, large nonprofits and even for-profit companies have moved in to take over struggling Head Start centers in the past. But with its 1,500 regulations and tight budget, Head Start tends to be a stressful, money-losing endeavor. Lucedale is so remote and financially strapped that locals wonder what sort of organization—if any—would bother to compete for the grant. "You have to be passionate," said Osborne. "Hopefully a new program would come in that's just as good."

DSK's brother detained at Mumbai while trying to escape
Mumbai/Pune, August 13, 2019 : Makrand Kulkarni, brother of builder D S Kulkarni, and an accused in the Rs 2,000 crore cheating case, was detained on Tuesday morning at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai, when he was about to fly outside the country. He was detained based on look out circular issued by Pune city police.
Pune police have already filed a charge sheet against D S Kulkarni, also known as DSK, his wife and others for allegedly cheating nearly 33,000 depositors and investors of nearly Rs 2043.18 crore. Makrand Kulkarni was on the run after his anticipatory bail plea was rejected by a court.
After being alerted about his detention, a team from Pune police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) left for Mumbai to take him into custody.
The economic offences wing (EOW) headed by then deputy commissioner of police Sudhir Hiremath investigated the case since October 2017, when the first depositor Jitendra Mulekar (56) approached Shivajinagar police station.
Following a six month long investigation, Pune city police filed a chargesheet against developer DS Kulkarni and his wife Hemanti for allegedly cheating thousands of depositors through various investment schemes. The chargesheet has pegged the total volume of fraud at Rs 2,043 crore.
They have been charged for offences under sections 120(B), 406, 409, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 109 r/w 34 IPC & 13(1)(c) r/w 13(2) of PC Act.

Horace Walpole's quotes
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform - They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.
Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony.
Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
How well Shakespeare knew how to improve and exalt little circumstances, when he borrowed them from circumstantial or vulgar historians.
It was easier to conquer it than to know what to do with it.
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.
Oh that I were seated as high as my ambition, I'd place my naked foot on the necks of monarchs.
Virtue knows to a farthing what it has lost by not having been vice.
We often repent of our first thoughts, and scarce ever of our second.
Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.
By deafness one gains in one respect more than one loses; one misses more nonsense than sense.
I do not admire politicians; but when they are excellent in their way, one cannot help allowing them their due.
I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one's tongue don't move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule.
It was said of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, that she never puts dots over her I s, to save ink.
The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.
Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie.
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
The wisest prophets make sure of the event first.
Men are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
The Methodists love your big sinners, as proper subjects to work upon.
I never found even in my juvenile hours that it was necessary to go a thousand miles in search of themes for moralizing.

Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth.
Men live by intervals of reason under the sovereignty of humor and passion.
Humor can help you cope with the unbearable so that you can stay on the bright side of things until the bright side actually comes along.
It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.
What we're doing is fun - if you have any sense of humor at all!
You've got to have a sense of humor to keep your sanity.
I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.
All my jobs have been with food in one way or another since 1948. My parents were in the hotel business, and I just loved the warm hearted people who worked so hard with such good humor.
You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.
The man with the real sense of humor is the man who can put himself in the spectator's place and laugh at his own misfortune.
Advertisers also know that humor can help bond us to their product.
I am a great believer that what makes our show different is the humor.
The comic is the perception of the opposite; humor is the feeling of it.
Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.
Once we got over the origin story, we could really delve deeper into their lives and characters and angst. So this movie actually has more heart, more humor.
Incongruity, they say, is one of the main ingredients of humor. Maybe it's because everybody can feel superior to me. I honestly don't know.
I love Sell Out, I think it's great. I love the jingles. The whole thing as an album is a wonderful piece of work. The cover. Everything about it. It's got humor, great songs, irony.
In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
I'm not for gratuitous nudity, but if there's humor, I don't have a problem.
It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers. Things were just streaming away from me. I lost my sense of humor. I'm still looking for that.
Robert Walker as Bruno was excellent. He had elegance and humor, and the proper fondness for his mother.
I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.
But it also became the experience, or was the experience, of the writers who were attracted to this kind of humor. They're all men or women who come from the same kind of experience in their own lives.
Puns are a form of humor with words.

David Collins to exhibit in 6 Artists 7 Days: The AWC Mount Zero Exhibition @ Defiance Gallery
SSG represented artist, David Collins, has been selected to participate in the Mount Zero, Six Artists, Seven Days initiative in a collaboration between Sydney's Defiance Gallery and The Australian Wildlife Conservency (AWC), a unique partnership which introduces artists to remote environments across Australia while raising funds and awareness for the important work of the AWC. Each artist will donate the first $40,000 worth of sales to the AWC, with the 10-year project of 5 exhibitions aiming to raise $1,000,000 by 2022. These funds will support the AWC's ongoing pledge to establishing sanctuaries and implementing practical land management strategies to reverse the decline in Australian biodiversity.
Along with fellow artists, Tim Allen, Peter Stevens, Mary Tonkin, Alison Coates and filmer maker Ben Ferris and art critic John McDonald, David Collins was flown out to Mount Zero-Taravale, sanctuary eighty kilometres north west of Townsville. Due its location, topography and rainfall, this area is rich in wildlife diversity and habitat. This area also makes for incredible scenery and is a prime location for artists to respond creatively to.
The participating artists relished in the opportunity to learn about the importance of the area directly from the AWC.
On this expedition, David Collins was particularly taken by the form, colour and texture of the cycad plants; interested in the relationship between plants and their pre-historic feel. For this 2021 exhibition at Defiance Gallery, Collins has chosen to explore these cycads further and develop further paintings.

AI Portraits
Not-so-Deepfake
Here's What AI Thinks A Bunch of Famous People Look Like
Nic Cage grew neck hair and Trump is unrecognizable.

Yesterday we reported on AI Portraits, a new website that uses a neural network to analyze your photos and generate a brand-new portrait in your likeness. As such, we've decided to keep testing out the algorithm on some more well-known faces. The results were…something. Just take a look.
Thanks, I Hate it
Some of our test subjects actually looked pretty accurate — AI Portraits' algorithm was trained on celebrities' faces, so it's even possible that the AI system has seen some of these people before — and others looked like they were nightmares conjured by Google's DeepDream.
Elon Musk's AI-generated portrait doesn't seem too far off — even his semi-mustache made it though. The algorithm is trained to tune into facial features absent anything else. That's why, for instance, people's glasses and jewelry are often erased from their portraits, and why it'd be a surprise that The Muskstache would make it in.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson's portrait vaguely resembles his photo, but it seems that the algorithm had no idea what to make of his cheekbones, to say nothing of the bad trim they gave his 'stache. In this case, the AI camera really does add ten pounds.
Marie Curie posed a special challenge, perhaps because the algorithm was left to fill in skin tone and hair color — plus the photo portrays Curie as slight off-center. As a result, the face in the portrait is a bit flatter than it should be, but we can at least see where it's coming from.
We also tested the algorithm on Mark Zuckerberg. We have no idea why his teeth were replaced by that tongue, but no thanks.
Let's keep the bad times rolling. We have no idea what happened to Donald Trump on our first attempt; it looks like he got into Peter Thiel's stockpile of teenager blood.
On a second pass, we used a better photo of Trump. Judi Dench, is that you?
Okay, we all need a palate cleanser. AI Portraits' algorithm got tripped up by Hillary Clinton's eyeshadow, and now she looks like that aunt who has already demanded to see the manager over this article.
We saved the best for last. Nic Cage's portrait looks like a Nic Cage impersonator who let himself go a little bit. And we have no idea why the algorithm decided to stretch his chest hair up the sides of his neck, but that's a conversation for another day.

Q: How to make Azure Pipelines yaml trigger branch with specific project? I have this project repo on Github and the repo has many project in it.
So in my scenario its like this.
api-build-pipeline
project-1: trigger branch-1
ui-build-pipiline
project-2: trigger branch-1
So if I only have an update on project-1 the project-2 should not be triggered but I don't know how to do that if their trigger is the same branch.
I want the trigger something like this
trigger: - branch-1 ..project-1
Is that possible? I don't want them use different branches if possible.

A: You can configure the trigger to exclude or include paths to trigger the build only when a file from that project is changed.
trigger:
  branches:
    include:
    - branch1
  paths:
    include:
    - project1
    exclude:
    - project2

Sarah, Liz and I spent the afternoon in Harmony, continuing my fairy tale photo project with a reinterpretation of the tale "Snow White and Rose Red." In the original Grimm Brothers story, Snow White and Rose Red are kind-hearted sisters who have run-ins with an ungrateful dwarf. They are frequently visited by a bear, who ends up being a prince (did I give it away?). I wasn't sure where we'd get an angry dwarf, or a bear for that matter, but in this series of photos I concentrated on the closeness between the two sisters. You can find the 'final' versions at flickr.

Don's Marching & Music Society / The Library, 805 Harden Street: 8 November 2013 22 comments
Posted at 12:46 am in Uncategorized
Having a bar called The Library is an old tradition in college towns. Whether it actually happens, or just the notion is enough to hang a name on, the idea is that the hard partying student will truthfully tell his parents he's spending a lot of time at the library.
Recently, in Columbia, that tradition is reported to have taken a nasty turn. Five Points has been having a terrible year as far as crime goes, and according to The State, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lot called out The Library by name:
Lott says he sent both uniformed and undercover officers to Columbia's Five Points on Oct. 26. He says the officers found a number of gang members hanging out at a bar called The Library and other people hanging out looking for fights or to rob people.
Shortly thereafter, The State reported:
The owner of a Columbia nightclub that the sheriff says is a hangout for gang members says he could be forced to close.
Justin Kershner of The Library nightclub says he was told by the state revenue department that he must pay $18,000 in back taxes by 2 p.m. Friday or give up his permits to sell beer, wine and liquor.
Finally, The State Reports:
The Library nightclub is closed indefinitely
The decision to close came a day after he said paid his back taxes and was trying to figure out how to get back into the good graces of local law enforcement.
Because of trees, it is difficult to get a good picture of The Library building from across Harden, and even on the right side of the road, the view is still a bit obstructed. When I took the first set of pictures, the signs for The Library were still up, if not easily visible. When I took the night pictures, the signage had already come down, and there was a crew inside that looked to be cleaning the place out.
UPDATE 7 December 2013: Added Don's Marching & Music Society to the post title, and check the comments for a not from the original "Don"!

I recall it being mentioned on a comment board on thestate.com that a group of Five Points merchants had a 'short list' of Five Points establishments that were the root of many of the issues Five Points faces and this makes me wonder if The Library makes that list...

Over the years, I have always had a list of establishments in 5 Points that I had no care to set foot in. As I grow older, there are only a few that I frequent from time to time and then only for happy hour or the early evening.
I know someone that lives in the housing area around Martin Luther King Park. He inherited his house from his parents and he told me that he was going to put bars on the windows and doors because of all of the gang/drug activity going on that neighborhood. He said that it's a crying shame that he has to be afraid to sit on his front porch after dark at the same house where he played in the yard with friends as a child.
I saw something written (I think in the Free Times) about the increase of people, in general, congregating on the sidewalks thereby making themselves easy targets for panhandlers, muggers or any other person with an 'agenda'. Well, unless a bar has a patio or deck, then people that smoke have no other choice that to take to the sidewalks.
I hope that Group Therapy is not on the 5 Points short list. I can think of several others that should be. I've been in and out of that bar since 1978 and if they ever close, I'm getting a room at the Claussen's Inn, gonna drink enough tequila to float a battleship and sleep for two days...lol!!!!
Any comments are welcome......:^)
1) The no smoking inside ordinances put folks on the sidewalks
2) Columbia's longstanding denial/tolerance of gang activity puts thugs where they can find victims
3) Rather than address the problem of thuggery and foolish laws, we have a sheriff who, in this instance, is blaming the victim (the bar) rather than the true problem (the thugs)
Five Points was much, much better when it was nearly all retail. The bars ruined Five Points.

The Library was known for almost two decades as "Dons marching and Music Society." It was a private club that catered to college students. I went there a lot in the 80s and never felt unsafe and never heard anyone complain about it. It also had one of the best jukeboxes in Columbia.
It was sold and went through oen or two other name changes before becoming "The Library" and again, I never heard of any issues with the place, until the most recent owner took charge.
BTW-I think there used to be a place on Ft. Jackson Blvd. that was also called the Library.
I don't think Lott's putting Library on blast is "blaming the victim". It has been a known trouble spot for a long time now. There are quite a few bars that welcome a young black clientelle or a diverse clientelle without becoming a gang hangout.

@ Tom - I don't remember a bar on Ft. Jackson Blvd. called the Library, but there was a bar on Rosewood called The Library back in the 80's. It was near the end closest to the Fairgrounds. The bar was on the left if you were heading towards the Fairgrounds just before the railroad trestle. The Library was in the same building as another bar, The Tabbard Inn. Went there many times. Tuesday night 10 cent drafts, Whew......
@Homer - Talk about floating a battleship.
Hmm: Controversial Five Points club reopens under new name.

tonkatoy, when was Five Points nearly all retail? It has been mainly bars since the early 80's when I was in high school and all through my college years? Anybody, about when did things really start getting bad down there? We still go every now and then to eat at Saluda's, Gourmet Shop or grab a beer at Group or Goatfeathers. The retail is not really worth going down there for at all. Wish it were.
29 Nov 13 at 9:25 pm
My mom said that in the 50's there were a lot of stores down there to shop at. She said they had drug stores and clothing plus there was a Pig on one of the corners that her and her grandma would shop at. I am like you "A" I grow up in the 80's so I don't remember any kind of good shopping being down there.
The only retail stores I remember in 5 Points as a kid are Sears, Hiller Hardware and a grocery store (it may have been a Pig or a Winn Dixie). When I started hanging out in the area in the late 70's it was already mostly bars and independent shops.

There were indeed several retail businesses in Five Points in the past. I used to enjoy parking the car and Christmas shopping all through the area. Most of the names escape me now but there were:
Roses or Dodds drug stores
Jackson Camera
a shoe store and Gerald's Shoe Repair
a florist
Gibson's gift shop
various record stores
Columbia Music store (instruments)
Kenny's auto supplies
Joyful Alternative
Hiller Hardware
Five Points Theater
Loose Lucy's
and dozens of others. Restaurants were everywhere.
I imagine Ted could run an entire blog called FivePointsClosings.com
By the way, did everyone participate in Small Business Saturday? Truly a worthwhile effort for our neighbors and friends who have the fortitude to be self reliant. Long live the Independents.
1 Dec 13 at 2:52 am
I had totally forgotten about Kenny's Auto and Jackson Camera. About the only reason I ever go down there is to visit Papa Jazz, grab a beer at Group Therapy or eat at Yesterday's.
I know it's a pipe dream since the building has been so carved up but it would be cool to reopen the 5 Points theater is some form, whether it be film of live theater.
Yeah, back in the 70s when I was a kid, it was practically all retail. It probably started changing when Sears left for Columbia Mall, because by the time I was in college in the eighties, it was trending more and more towards bars and restaurants as the decade went on.
I OPENED DON'S MAY 12, 1964 AND WAS THERE ALMOST 20 YEARS, WE NEVER EVER EXPERIENCED WHAT IS GOINGON TODAY IN 5 POINTS, WHAT A SHAME THT MY HOME TOWN AND SCHOOL HAS COME TO THIS POINT. WHEN I OPENED DON'S THERE WERE ONLY DON'S & JACK SKENES UPSTAIRS BAR THERE. THE 5-POINTS MERCHANT'S ASSOCIATION ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE BOTH BARS AND A PETION WAS CIRCULATED TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE UPSTAIRS BAR WAS CLOSED BUT BECAUSE I WENT AROUND AND EVERY PETIONER THAT SIGNED AGAINST THE OTHER BAR SIGNED MY PETITION TO LET ME STAY OPEN AND I DID FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS BECAUSE I MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF THATN WHEN MYOLDEST CHILD WAS OLD ENOUGH TO COME TO THE BAR I WOULD NOT OWN IT AND I DIVESTED MYSELF OFTHE BAR AROUND 1978. BUT IT WAS A GOOD RIDE AND I HAD NOTHING TO REGRET OR BE ASHAMED ABOUT, MAY OF MY BARTENDERS DEPENDED UPON THEIR SALARIES TO FINISH USC AND I KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MANY OF THEM....

@Don- sadly too many people today don't have the ethics or morals you have. As a former customer, I have nothing but great memories of the place.
I have spent most of my adult life working in 5 Pts. First
job was in 1972 at a little blue jean shop, Jolie's, on the 700 block of Saluda Ave. Brief stint at the Local Gentry restaurant located where Yesterdays is. Then the Happy Dashery from 1976-1986 610 Harden St. That was when that block was almost all retail with The Peddler, Stage Door & Pugs-all wonderful places. I opened Revente on Saluda Ave. in 1992 and hope to stay there as long as the former tenent, Aiken's Antiques, who was there for 40+ years. So many changes in our village over the years......

Pugs was one of the first bars I went to in 5-Points. It was very unique in its layout. At the time I didn't realize that it was part of the old 5-Points theater.
7 Jul 14 at 1:54 am
Don's was the first bar that lasted in 5-Points, I opened it May 12th, 1964 in order to finish at Carolina. I never intended to stay there the almost 20 years that I did, but the darn place took off and I had to stay there though four additions to the original bar that involve three different street addresses. I went though many ruminations in the later years to get back to a normal life as when you have a young family and a spouse you love the bar business is not condusive to that environment. I opened the Beverage store next to Don's - later Performance Van's of America, where I converted several hundred Van's for local car/truck dealers, it lasted until the Arab Oil Embargo in the 70's. I put the bar up for sale and had a sale for many $$$$$$.$$, but my Dad needed a job and I gave him my majority interests in the bar to him. God blessed me with all I learned building all the bars (The Other Place on Rosewood Drive as well) that a friend of mine and a former Don's bartender got me a job with Daniel's Construction and for a few years traveled from job to job across this land eventually winding up at International Paper in Georgetown, SC and the City of N Myrtle beach for 18 years as Building Official and then Barefoot Landing and finally Burroughs & Chapin where I oversaw new construction projects until my retirement 6 years ago. We have enjoyed life here at the beach, but in Nov will be moving to Georgia to be close to family as we are in our mid 70's now.... Bottom line- there is hope for all those closed up places in 5-Points, it sure is a shame what has happened to my home town City of Columbia and that it appears that after dark in town center and 5-Points it's not a safe place to be.... Come on City official's get your City back to a safe place for USC students and others to frequent places like Don's and others in the 60's, 70's...

Don - Great story, thanks for sharing.
Great to hear from Mr. Don. Don's was a safe, fun place to be with your friends. Many of my USC Band Friends and Kappa Kappa Si brothers were bartenders. Steve and Jamie, my big brother, you know who you are! What people should also know the Mr Don was quite supportive of the USC Band program. So many of us are very grateful to him. Sorry to see an area that was so much of a safe social seen become a haven for thugs.

I'm still hanging in there, will be 3/4 of a century old October 15th, and still with my spouse of 56 years (Gail) did enjoy the 21+ years I had several businesses I 5-Points including the Bar, Performance Van's of America & Discount Beverage Store, both next door to Don's after I gave the bar to my Dad...
Some of my bartenders who have passed: (RED DOG) - Phillip Thorman, Randy Dickens. Dick Bernish-Not a bartender but a regular, Buddy Blanks, Frank Barco of Franks Hot Dogs across the street from Don's, my DAD - Rupert Ray

Spay/Neuter, Adopt, Volunteer and Educate.
With no government funding, we are completely dependent on private contributions to continue to provide care to 1,000 animals each year. We maintain a placement rate of over 95%, and do everything in our power to place our animals with their forever homes.
At any given time, we are home to approximately 200 animals available for adoption. Adoption counselors are on staff to assist with the selection of a new pet. We maintain a "wish book" for people seeking a particular breed and let them know when a match has been made.
Our mission is to provide funding for tutoring, clothing, summer camp and enrichment activities to local foster children.
Our goal is to diligently raise funds to help as many children as possible that enter into the foster care system. Our programs will aid in helping these children lead as normal of a life as possible with a goal of becoming successful adults. The Council provides funding for individualized tutoring, clothing, summer camp and enrichment activities. The programs are geared to help these children find talents that would normally go undiscovered, while increasing their confidence and self-esteem.
If you are a parent, you know how expensive it is to keep a child in clothing and shoes that fit and how expensive extra-curricular activities can be. Every child wants to feel normal, wants to fit in, dress like their peers and participate in what their peers are participating in. A foster child should be given this same opportunity.
As these children are ripped from their homes with nothing but a small bag of their belongings, their fear of the unknown is unimaginable. Then they are placed in a home where everyone is a stranger and expected to persevere; this being yet another traumatic experience they are expected to handle. Keep in mind these are children taken from the only home they know, taken from Mom or Dad with the promise of a brighter future. The Council funds the opportunities to make this promise come true. As they are moved from home to home, shelter to shelter, their belongings are scattered and their school work falls by the wayside, thus The Clothing Program and The Education Advancement program were established.
Make sure you download the RaceJoy mobile app for live phone tracking at The Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon, 10 Miler & 5K.
The Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon, 10 Miler & 5K is sponsoring RaceJoy to provide participants and spectators these features for free (normally a 99 cents upgrade fee for both the participant and spectator).
The Lucky Leprechaun Half Marathon, 10 Miler & 5K has course maps available.

Trevor has been involved with most of Manchester new office buildings including the very successful Belvedere and Spinningfields office developments. Trevor has also acted for a number of corporate clients including Sainsbury's, The Prudential, The Co Op, The General Medical Council, Marsh, Baker Tilly, Clyde & Co and Barclays Bank to name but a few.
What was your first ever job?
I was an office junior at Edward Erdman, the London property agency that is probably best known for selling The Ritz.
And your first deal?
Surprisingly after 30 years, I can still remember that I managed to lease 2,160 sq ft at Oxford Court on Upper Richmond Road in Putney. I felt ten feet tall.
What about your biggest deal?
Paying my children's school fees!
And the one that got away?
Far too many to remember. I get too emotional to talk about them.
Outside of property, what makes you happy?
Spending time with my family, keeping up to date with my daughter's hectic life at University and watching my son play sport – any sport, but ideally one that he's good at.
Any heroes?
A couple. Martin Johnson and Severiano Ballesteros. Both great sportsmen who ask for total commitment, because that's what they give. I like that approach.

By Derek Zeller When I first started in recruiting there were significant differences than in today's environment. It seems that the first thing we do is run to a job board, LinkedIn, or just post and pray. What happened to that database that you have? I mean there are agencies and companies that have been accumulating resume of candidates for years. Yet when it comes time to find that elusive purple squirrel we search on every website know in existence with Boolean strings that would make Shakespeare shake his head. Why? What are we so afraid of? I don't know but I am going to break it down to why the first place you want to go IS your database.
So, What's Magellan You Ask?
When I was still wet behind the ears and job boards were just starting to be something we only had a few places to really dig in and look for people. I was taught early in my career that the internal database the owner had built up over the years by resumes he had scanned in from faxes and emails over the years was in there. Yeah, faxes, I am old and remember those things, sue me. He had an expression, "It's all in Magellan". The other recruiters would often giggle behind his back but he was right. My first placement came from a Boolean search that I did in Magellan. I found a candidate jus wasting away in there. My first placement was a C/Unix Programmer at a brand new client. I was sold and have been ever sense. You see the owner and recruiters built something.
So why not use it? I mean there is always a slew of people that have applied or that you sourced for your different roles. That was hard work. You have notes on the ones that fit, salary expectations, strengths and weaknesses etc. You don't get a great deal of information from job boards or LinkedIn for that matter. Yet right here at your finger tips are profiles with more information than you could ever imagine AND they are more than likely doing something similar to what your company is doing. I know what you are going to say, "but Derek they didn't get the job so why would I want to work with them." Simple, they may have not fit THAT job but a month down the road or even three months down the road they just might be a fit for THIS new job.
OK so I get the argument that there is a lot of garbage in your database. People apply just to apply or in the US to prove that they are looking for a gig while on welfare. Yeah they do that. So I came up with a pretty cool solution to this. I call it my hot 100 list. I use a separate database where I house the resumes of the really A+ game candidates. When I am searching in the database and I find a cool candidate OR the candidate that did not get the gig but was still a cool candidate I put in a closed job only I can see. I title the job after what that skill set is. This way when a new position comes up I can go back and check notes and who was in there last that could be a good fit. That's pretty cool huh?
So even though an ATS can be the bane of a recruiters existence it can also be a handy tool if you use it just right.

Disaster Recovery is an issue of particular importance to security exchanges such as NYSE, NASDAQ, and the London Stock Exchange and it is regulated by the Security Exchange Commission and the Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity (Regulation SCI) rules. The possibility of a disaster that could take down both production and backup server environments would be catastrophic, affecting customers world-wide. Because of the severity of such a catastrophic event, and to meet regulatory requirements set forth by RegSCI, a disaster recovery plan must be in place to mitigate this scenario within two hours of downtime.
Generally, a good recovery plan has the main objective to maintain a nearly instantaneous recovery point objective (RPO) to recovery time objective (RTO).
Felix and Benjamin demonstrate how creating a financial disaster recovery plan with an RPO of zero is, indeed, possible. This talk uses the fictitious AEX stock exchange where the cloud architecture includes a number of customer gateways as well as market data and matching engines. This hypothetical exchange has 100 listed symbols and 100 Broker/Dealers with each Broker/Dealer supporting 100 customers. In a typical scenario, every customer sends a Buy or Sell order for a random symbol for a random quantity every second.
The goal of this particular disaster recovery plan is to replace business continuity planning (BCP) meetings that occur multiple times per year at stock exchanges with an automated and repeatable recovery plan. Architects can write one version of the code for their disaster recovery (DR) plans, optimize it over time, and end with a modern DR system that is automated, audited, and elastic.
Because of Weave Net's ability to network across clusters regardless of data center or cloud provider, Weave's resilient container networking is an integral part of the disaster recovery strategy. In addition to this, Weave Net provides Multicasting, a function that is not natively available on Amazon Web Services. For the AWS team, using Weave Net's multicasting is a cleaner solution than refactoring code to make multicasting possible, which can be a time-consuming and complicated process.
The environment for AEX is dynamic and reliant on automated cloud technologies. Thus, it needs to be able to handle high-volume multicast feeds. Though Weave Net has automatic service discovery capability, Weave only provides the cluster-to-cluster overlay multicast network in this scenario. Amazon's Route 53 provides service discovery, creating DNS records for each symbol within the customer gateways. Weave Net's multicast capability delivers the symbol and pricing information to the customer and broker gateway cluster.
Matching engines resolve DNS entries associated with a particular symbol, subscribing them to the multicast address associated with that symbol. When customer gateways or matching engines resolve, that particular symbol receives the unique multicast address that is either published or subscribed to.
Weave Net is unique because it enables multicasting in the cloud though all current cloud providers do not support multicast. Weave Net works in software to bypass these multicast restrictions. Learn more about Weave Net's multicast here.

Life was good. I was in Amsterdam, conducting an umpire clinic for the European Baseball Championships with Gus, an umpire director for the World Baseball Softball Confederation. Gus's wife Cathy and my wife of 42 years, Joan, were there too. The four of us have all become good friends during our many travels around the world. Over the last two years, I lost fifty pounds, got two brand new titanium knees, and was feeling great.
There is no delicate way to put this, but my urine turned a strange color of dark orange. I thought it must be some kind of bug, probably related to travel. No big deal.
The doctor just said, "No, we are going after this." The fight was on.
The first step was 25 radiation treatments. The tumor was bombarded with specific radiation to shrink it. After a month-long break for my body to rest, I had a very serious, very tough surgery called the Whipple procedure to remove the mass. The surgery was a huge success due to the skilled hands of the surgeon. I was only in the hospital for five days including two days in the ICU. The normal stay for this surgery is two weeks.
I did not go through this difficult time alone. Joan never left my side. My loving daughters Jessica and Darcy were there, as were our best friends Dan and Cathy. Prayers came pouring in from my "umpire family" including the Major, minor and international umpires.
The surgery was followed by 16 chemotherapy treatments, comprised of five hours of poison being pumped into my body. There were some side effects, but these were manageable.
The treatments and the surgery were all worth it. Many battles were won, but the fight continues. Life is good.

Where the Locals Go to Catch a Show
When it comes to music in Indianapolis, we often think about concerts at the Vogue, Farm Bureau Insurance Lawn at White River State Park, and the Egyptian Room. But what about the smaller venues? The intimate spaces we don't normally think about? What about the places where patrons know the musicians personally and can join them on stage for an open jam? At these nine small venues in Indianapolis, there are no assigned seats; there is only music — be it blues, jazz, rock, punk, metal, or indie folk.
Mousetrap Bar & Grill
The Mousetrap, which hosts a variety of jam bands, has been slinging drinks on Indy's Northside since 1957. With live music nearly every day of the month, there's no shortage of entertainment here. You can join an open session of bluegrass on Sundays, attend "Bourbon for the Brain – Jazz for the Soul" on Tuesdays, or even play a round of musically-inclined trivia on Mondays.
Books & Brews
Books & Brews is a bookstore, brewery, and venue. It's located on Indy's northwest side and has a little bit of everything. There's live music every Friday and Saturday night and open mic nights on Thursdays, at which musicians, comics, poets, and other artists can perform. It's no surprise, then, that the weekly event was named one of Indy's best open mic nights in 2015.
If you're looking for jazz, look no further than the heart of Mass Ave. Historic Chatterbox, which first opened in 1933, offers live jazz music seven nights a week. The Sunday through Thursday shows are free to attend, and you can even join some of the jams yourself! But no matter what day of the week you go, be sure to try one of Chatterbox's famous picklebacks!
Joyful Noise Recordings
Joyful Noise is a record label that gravitates toward artists who "bridge the gap between pop and noise." The label, which is located in the Murphy Building, also operates a pint-sized record store and venue. The stage is used for intimate performances by bands affiliated with the label, such as Kishi Bashi and Half Japanese. So be sure to stop by on a First Friday event; there's sure to be a show!
Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery
Loughmiller's is a tavern that serves up American pub grub and has live music at least once a week. Some of their "Live at the Lock" events have featured local bluesy, new-folk artists such as Jay Elliott and Craig Thurston, but other events include "'90s Night with James Wilkerson." The best thing about Loughmiller's? Their live music events are cover-free!
Melody Inn
Melody Inn was established in 1935 and is one of Indy's favorite dive bars. Both the wall decor and the live music are eclectic; it's easy to get distracted by deer heads and license plates when listening to punk rock, rockabilly, indie, metal, or comedy. While you're waiting for your favorite band or comic to take the stage, check out the jukebox, or lounge in a vinyl booth from the old Teepee Restaurant.
Tick Tock Lounge
This Near Eastside gem offers more than just great food and local beers — it also hosts live music on the first and third Fridays of every month. Listen to one of your favorite local bands while nursing a Bloody Mary made with bacon-infused vodka. And if you love jamming to Journey or Jace Everett, then the Tick Tock is the place for you — every Wednesday night is karaoke night.
Union 50
Union 50 is a chef-driven restaurant and bar just off Mass Ave. It hosts multiple live music events each week, and is frequented by bands such as Midwest Rhythm Exchange, Ghosts of Kin, The Sax Guy, roots rock group The Upright Willies, and blues rock group The Max Allen Band. Be sure to try one of Union 50's signature cocktail.

LAUNCH VISITOR GUIDE


Success, especially when it comes to your job search, is about being able to get the details right. I could go on at length about the need to make sure you iron your clothes, practice your hand shake etc., but most people do actually get those things right. However, in all the years I have been interviewing, candidates seem to consistently overlook three things. This article is about the first.
#1 Research the company you are interviewing with.
It gives you a better insight into whether the organization is actually a good fit for you. If you are a technician with a passion to focus on one product area, and the company just sold that division, then that isn't a good sign. Similarly if there is no evidence of growth, and you are an ambitious corporate climber – is this opportunity right for you?
It makes you stand out against 95% of all the other candidates who won't have done their homework and therefore don't seem as passionate about the organization as you. Companies want to hire candidates who demonstrate their desire to work for them.
Interviewers may ask you directly what you know about the company. If so, keep it brief but relevant. Practice in advance what you will say if you are asked this question. Alternatively, you can use this information to add credibility to your answers to other interview questions.
A wonderful example of this was in an interview to hire a sales analyst for an organization that had just announced a significant corporate acquisition within their market sector. The successful candidate knew about the acquisition through her research. She then figured out that acquisitions often result in the need to consolidate information from reporting systems that exist at the current company, as well as the newly acquired one until both systems have become fully integrated. When we asked "What particular skills do you bring that sets you apart from other candidates", she talked about a research project she had done that required her to assimilate data from a number of different places to draw conclusions about her thesis. She went on to relate this experience to the need our company would have for someone who was good working with different systems, given the recent acquisition. Bingo.
Places to look for this information include (everyone's favourite) Google, but there are other sources. Read the organization's social media posts so to see what they are talking about and search articles in relevant industry magazines. Is the company a member of an association and can you find news about the company's activities with that association? If you are particularly brave, there is absolutely nothing wrong with reaching out to a current employee at the organization (as long as it isn't an interviewer, or the recruiter managing your file) and asking a few non-controversial questions (current corporate priorities, new products, new markets, new production techniques etc.).Be curious about the senior people at these organizations, find out who the CEO, COO, VP Marketing and CIO is. Where did they work before, what advances have they made at the company, how long have they been there? If you know who is interviewing you, and you can find information about them, so much the better.
When the FoodGrads website is fully functional, you will be able to use this is a major component of your research because it will provide a platform for candidates and employers to network and communicate. However, until then, make sure you do your homework. Remember, knowledge is power.
