WANTED: obedient, incurious "yes" men and women for good federal jobs
Will reading WikiLeaks cost students jobs with the federal government?
By Emanuella Grinberg, CNN
U.S. agencies have warned some employees that reading the classified State Department documents released by WikiLeaks puts them at risk of losing their jobs. But what about students considering jobs with the federal government? Do they jeopardize their chances by reading WikiLeaks?
So the US government apparently wants to hire people who never once stepped out of line, never dared to question authority, and have deadened their own sense of inquisitiveness. Because all those things indicate intelligence! And we can't have that in our government! No sirree. Drones, that's what we need! Whole armies of 'em. Conventional thinking and intellectual cowardice is what's made America great. Also: the rebellion of university students totally determines their behavior as adults. Nobody's ever been radical in college and conservative as an adult! EVER.

US Diplomat Holbrooke dies after aortic tear.
Richard Holbrooke, a veteran U.S. diplomat who was the architect of the 1995 Bosnia peace plan and served as President Barack Obama's special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, has died, NBC News reported, citing a U.S. official. He was 69.
Holbrooke's forceful style earned him nicknames such as "The Bulldozer" or "Raging Bull." He was admitted to George Washington University Hospital on Friday after he became ill. He had surgery on Saturday to repair a torn aorta.
"Tonight America has lost one of its fiercest champions and most dedicated public servants," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after his death on Monday.
"Richard Holbrooke served the country he loved for nearly half a century, representing the United States in far-flung war-zones and high-level peace talks, always with distinctive brilliance and unmatched determination. He was one of a kind — a true statesman — and that makes his passing all the more painful."
Hours before Holbrooke's death Obama had called Holbrooke "a towering figure in American foreign policy" who was a critical player in developing the administration's policy on Afghanistan.
On Capitol Hill, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., called the loss of Holbrooke "almost incomprehensible," adding that his "tough-as-nails, never-quit diplomacy" saved tens of thousands of lives. Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, who will chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee next year, called Holbrooke "a dynamic force in American diplomacy" whose "stellar service is deeply appreciated and held in the highest esteem."
Rest of obit here.
Mods I looked back a few pages and couldn't find a post on his death there. If there's one ahead of mine in the queue, feel free to reject this one.

TIME chooses its Person of the Year 2010.
Person of the Year 2010: Mark Zuckerberg
By Lev Grossman
On the afternoon of Nov. 16, 2010, Mark Zuckerberg was leading a meeting in the Aquarium, one of Facebook's conference rooms, so named because it's in the middle of a huge work space and has glass walls on three sides so everybody can see in. Conference rooms are a big deal at Facebook because they're the only places anybody has any privacy at all, even the bare minimum of privacy the Aquarium gets you. Otherwise the space is open plan: no cubicles, no offices, no walls, just a rolling tundra of office furniture. Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's COO, who used to be Lawrence Summers' chief of staff at the Treasury Department, doesn't have an office. Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO and co-founder and presiding visionary, doesn't have an office.
Well...that was unexpected. Or was it?
P.S. Mods, I'm resubmitting because wireless bonked out on me.

Strip club owner posts "No Negroes Allowed" sign
ABBOTSFORD, Wisconsin - A sign excluding black people from a future Abbotsford, Wisconsin business is enraging some people in the small town.
It's a sign generations of people may have never seen, yet Mark Prior says it's his right to discriminate.
"If I've got a problem with you it's going to be on the front of my store," says Mark Prior.
Prior posted his 'No Negros Allowed' sign after he says he had some problems with black people in the past and needed to make a policy against them.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.
And honestly, I'm not sure which to be more pissed off at--the fact the sign exists, the fact that he used the word "negro," or the fact he doesn't know how to use the plural s. And why is there a period before the word "no"?

GOP guy thinks latin@s are his own personal army
TX GOPer urges colleagues to recruit Latinos to party to ally against Muslims
Caucasian GOP support for anything having to do with immigration reform is so far and in between that when such a Republican voices support for immigration issues and proudly declares:
"I personally like the Hispanic people and their commitment to family and the work ethic. They are also a Christian based culture. I don't blame them for having made it to America by hook or crook."
...And goes on to urge his fellow Republicans to welcome Latinos into the party, it leaves that fuzzy warm feeling that has been void for too long in the relationship lately between Latinos and Caucasian GOPers.
Dr. Steve Hotze
It was exactly that kind of warm feeling I was getting as I read Dr. Steve Hotze's open letter to his colleagues in supporting immigration reform that was published online at Texas GOP Vote.
Dr. Hotze, according to his online bio, was trained as a traditional physician in family medicine and now takes an alternative approach to administering medicine by treating the causes of his patients' illnesses, rather than the symptoms.
His unorthodox approach has garnered him media attention from CNN to the CBS Early Show and he hosts his own health and wellness radio program in Houston. Obviously, Dr. Hotze is the type of person anyone would welcome on their side to give credibility to an issue.
In his scolding of his state party colleagues, Dr. Hotze made the wry observation that:
"It seems to me that there may be nativistic and prejudicial thinking on the immigration issue by many Caucasians.
Finally, I thought to myself, there's someone willing to speak out and state the obvious and call offenders to task."
Yet, in further reading Dr. Hotze's letter, it became too apparent that there are different shades of obvious. In his conclusion, he writes:
"The majority of the Hispanic culture in America is Christian, pro-family, pro-life and pro-free enterprise. Sounds like they would make great Republicans to me. Let's go recruit them!
Gentlemen, it seems that the real problem we face is the Muslim immigration invasion of America. The Hispanics are our natural allies against the Democrats and Muslims."
With all things being the same when it comes to discrimination and prejudice, it's amazing that in this educated man's mind he can't see the connection of his earlier statement (It seems to me that there may be nativistic and prejudicial thinking on the immigration issue by many Caucasians) with his closing argument to recruit more Latinos.
It would seem to me that a party that wears discrimination and prejudice so proudly on their sleeves would not only be insincere in the recruitment of any person of color but prove to be a major turn-off for any rational person of the 21st Century.
Unfortunately, it didn't sway the latest Texas Democrat from switching parties -- Rep. Aaron Peña.
Rep. Peña was expected to announce his party switch sometime today. His reason?
"In a recent interview with the Rio Grande Guardian, the lawmaker said Hispanics -- a group that tends to vote Democratic when it turns out at the polls -- will increasingly vote Republican because Democrats no longer reflect their values."
As long as Republicans, like Dr. Hotze, see Latinos as nothing more than allies in "ganging" up on other ethnicities and refuse to endorse the DREAM Act or work on immigration reform out of party spite and still think deporting 11 million people is feasible, then those are values that aren't reflective of Latinos either -- or signs of a party that really care about the Latino vote.

The inhumane conditions of Bradley Manning's detention
Bradley Manning, the 22-year-old U.S. Army Private accused of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, has never been convicted of that crime, nor of any other crime. Despite that, he has been detained at the U.S. Marine brig in Quantico, Virginia for five months -- and for two months before that in a military jail in Kuwait -- under conditions that constitute cruel and inhumane treatment and, by the standards of many nations, even torture. Interviews with several people directly familiar with the conditions of Manning's detention, ultimately including a Quantico brig official (Lt. Brian Villiard) who confirmed much of what they conveyed, establishes that the accused leaker is subjected to detention conditions likely to create long-term psychological injuries.

Fox News on climate: skip the science, report the "controversy"
Accusations of biased reporting against Fox News are common enough that they're no longer, well, news. And examples of poor reporting on the science of climate change are painfully common. But it's apparently the season of the leak, and a progressive media organization has obtained a leaked e-mail from Bill Sammon, a managing editor at Fox News, in which he directly orders his reporters to provide misleading science coverage.
Reportedly, a Fox staffer forwarded an internal e-mail to Media Matters, a progressive organization that monitors conservative media outlets. Entitled "Given the controversy over the veracity of climate change data..." it continues:
...we should refrain from asserting that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into question. It is not our place as journalists to assert such notions as facts, especially as this debate intensifies.
To a large extent, this represents the triumph of the creationist movement's strategy of claiming there's a controversy about evolution, then demanding coverage of the controversy, rather than the science of evolution. It also requires a similar form of scientific ignorance, in that Sammon doesn't seem to recognize the difference between a measurement of temperature change and the theory that explains these changes.
And the position specifically abdicates any responsibility to identify facts, instead favoring an attempt to appear balanced. Yes, critics have called the temperature record into question. But these criticisms do not appear to be scientifically valid. Some focus on the temperature record created at the CRU (site of the climate e-mail theft), but this is one of three global records, all of which show nearly identical trends (the other two are from NASA and NOAA).
Others focus on the possible impacts of urbanization on the temperature record. However, an analysis of US data suggests that any distortions in temperatures readings are weak and biased toward colder temperatures. A separate analysis identified urban areas by the light they emit at night, and found that "urban effects on analyzed global change are small." (This latter paper is still in revision.)
Even if you discard all temperature records, there is plenty of other evidence that the planet has warmed: the loss of glaciers, the shrinking Arctic ice cap, habitats that have shifted towards the poles and to higher elevations, accelerated animal migrations, etc. And, if you can't be bothered with the underlying science, the US government and scientific societies have both described the reality of climate change.
In short, there may be a controversy over the existence and direction of recent temperature trends, but the controversy doesn't appear to be factual, and it certainly has nothing to do with any theoretical issues. But Sammon doesn't seem interested in learning any of this. On a personal level, that's perfectly acceptable. Unfortunately, Sammon has chosen to turn his willful ignorance into official policy for a large and influential staff of journalists

House passes repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'
Bill to end ban on gays in military could face uphill battle in Senate
WASHINGTON — The House passed a repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell' policy that has stifled the service of gays in the military.
The stand-alone legislation calls for an end to the policy that since 1993 has barred recruiters from asking about sexual orientation while prohibiting soldiers from acknowledging that they are gay.
The issue will now go back to the Senate, where Democratic leaders pledging a vote are running out of time before adjourning this session of Congress. President Barack Obama has called on Congress to end the policy.

Dan Choi Hospitalized Following a Breakdown
Dan Choi Hospitalized; A Discussion About Our Community's Multi-Faceted Sacrifices
by: Autumn Sandeen
Tue Dec 14, 2010 at 20:00:00 PM EST
NOTE FROM PAM: Today brought news to our inbox that Autumn and I wanted to share with Blend readers in what we feel is an appropriate context. We learned that Dan Choi, who sacrificed his privacy to take on a high-profile role as one of the public faces of the impact of the discriminatory policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, has been hospitalized and is in the hands of professional mental health practitioners at a Veterans Administration facility. Dan explained in his email:
I did not initially want to publicize this but I now realize it is critical for our community to know several things: veterans gay or straight carry human burdens, Activists share similar burdens, no activist should be portrayed as super human, and the failures of government and national lobbying carry consequences far beyond the careers and reputations of corporate leaders, elected officials, High powered lobbyists, or political elites. They ruin lives. My breakdown was a result of a cumulative array of stressors but there is no doubt that the composite betrayals felt on Thursday, by elected leaders and gay organizations as well as many who have exploited my name for their marketing purposes have added to the result. I am certain my experience is not an isolated incident within the gay veteran community.

FEEL GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Secret Santa hands out $100 bills in Kansas City
Secret Santa II hit the streets Tuesday in a long-standing Kansas City tradition of handing out $100 bills — sometimes several at a time — to unsuspecting strangers in thrift stores, food pantries and shelters.
Some people gasped in surprise. Some wanted to know if the $100 bill the tall man in the red cap offered was fake. Others wept.
Secret Santa II has seen a lot of reactions since taking over where his mentor, Kansas City's original Secret Santa, Larry Stewart, left off when he died in 2007 at age 58. Like Stewart, who gave away more than $1 million to strangers each December in mostly $100 bills, this Secret Santa prefers to stay anonymous.
A fake white beard taped to his face, Secret Santa II handed out about $10,000 in total Tuesday. Recipients included a police officer with terminal cancer, a homeless man pushing a rickety old shopping cart, an 81-year-old woman who had recently told her 27 grandchildren she wouldn't be able to afford any Christmas gifts, and Bernadette Turner, a 32-year-old unemployed mother of two.
"It's hard to come by," Turner said looking in disbelief at the $200 Secret Santa had given her.
Then one of Santa's "elves" — another tall man in a red cap — sidled up to next to Turner, asked a few questions, and handed her an additional $100. Turner, whose children are 3 and 8, was overcome.
"I can only afford one gift for each child. But now ...." she said, wiping tears from her cheeks and reaching out for a hug.
"Do you believe in Santa Claus?" Capt. Ray Wynn of the Kansas City, Mo., Fire Department, asked from a few feet away. Wynn had followed Stewart on many "sleigh rides" around the country and now follows this Secret Santa, providing stories, memories and amusing sound effects.
"I do now," Turner said. "I do now."
Secret Santa II took over from Stewart about the time the recession hit and the economy went into a tailspin. Like Stewart, this Secret Santa doesn't talk about his own finances, where those $100 bills come from and if — like for so many people now — they've been harder to come by.
Come December, he just fills his pockets with money, dons his red cap and heads out looking for people to make really happy.
He will likely hand out about $40,000 this December. He says he'll go "till the money runs out."
"The recession, unemployment. This is the time you don't want to stop. You don't want to back off," he said.
He walked up to Peggy Potter, 59, of Kansas City, Kan., who was looking at some framed prints at a thrift store. He made some small talk, put his arm around her and within minutes she was crying. Her son died about a year and a half ago. Her husband died in July and her daughter died soon after that.
"I'm just ... today's been a rough day for me, just thinking about my loved ones," she said. "I've been having a hard time paying for all the funerals."
Santa gave her $200, listened more, hugged her, and told her the poster she was holding had special meaning. It was a photo of two hands, one large, one small. Words printed at the bottom could have been written by Secret Santa, the original or the current one.
It said: "Kindness in giving creates love."

Argentine Archbishop Tells Kids There Is No Santa Claus
A Roman Catholic archbishop surprised his parishioners in Argentina by telling the children that Santa Claus was not real, but instead a commercialized symbol of Christmas, AFP reported Tuesday.
"That's not Christmas," Archbishop Fabriciano Sigampa of the northern city of Resistencia said during mass, insisting that children should not confuse celebrating the birth of Christ "with a fat man dressed in red."
Sigampa's ire was aroused by plans for a snow covered cabin in the city's main square where a Father Christmas figure would hear children's wishes and receive donated toys to be given out to poor children.
"Surely, in the coming days there will be a deluge of advertisements after they inaugurate the house where a fat man dressed in red lives. And we should not confuse, we should not confuse Christmas with that."
He said children "should know that, in reality, the gifts come from the efforts of their parents and with the help of Jesus."
After the bishop aired his objections, organizers dropped plans for a Santa and renamed the cabin the "House of Christmas."
Sigampa has attracted controversy before.
In the 1990s, he caused a stir by ordering a mural for the cathedral of the northern city of La Rioja that showed the Virgin Mary with then president Carlos Menem and members of the Catholic hierarchy.

Members Strip Controversial Items from Defense Bill --
In a last ditch effort to save a crucial defense spending bill, known as the Defense Authorization Act, the chairmen and Ranking Republicans on the House and Senate Armed Services Committee have agreed to strip out controversial items from the bill.
Including the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, federal money for abortions at military facilities, and money for an alternate engine for the F-35, a provision that engendered a White House veto threat.
"We have stripped out all the controversial language," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said Wednesday, adding that he is "confident" the bill will be considered in the lame duck season.
A senior Senate GOP aide tells reporters "The (bipartisan group) all signed on to the slimmed down bill. We plan on putting out a statement soon."
The legislation must pass with the unanimous approval of every member in the Senate due to the abbreviated legislative calendar, a move that the chairman called "tough," but with the bipartisan approval of the top four members of the defense panels, the chance of passage increases.
Congress has, for 49 years, passed a defense authorization bill, a popular piece of legislation that contains a pay raise for troops, money for the Armed Services Retirement Home and the Defense Health Program, and funds for education and training, among many items.
A stand-alone measure to repeal the 1993 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law, the military's ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces, is expected to pass the House Wednesday and should then be taken up by the Senate in the lame duck session. That bill appears to have the 60 votes needed for passage, though the dwindling time on the calendar could affect support. Republican supporters of repeal, like Sen. Susan Collins, R-Me., have said they support repeal but want to have time for debate and consideration of amendments by opponents of the measure.

Real American Patriot Haz The Balls to Admit that He Doesnt Care About 9/11 Responders
Sen. Thune Admits Bush Tax Cut Extensions Are More Of A Priority Than 9/11 Workers' Health
On Fox Business Network this morning, Don Imus aggressively questioned Senator — and possible presidential hopeful — John Thune (R-SD) about Republican obstruction of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, which would provide desperately needed health care to those who volunteered to help at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. Imus raised Daily Show host Jon Stewart's recent point about Republicans who frequently invoke 9/11 imagery, but refuse to help the workers, and asked Thune how he could defend this refusal. Thune explained that preserving the Bush tax cuts was more of a priority:

Proud To Serve | Proud To Serve is a portrait essay of our Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender American Service Members who served their country in silence or were discharged under the current "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" [U.S.] law. On August 25, 2010, Jo Ann began a twenty-eight day road trip around the United States, driving 10,167 miles, 31 states from New York to California and back to photograph and record the stories of LGBT Servicemembers. The funds for the road trip were raised through kickstarter.com. The hope of this on-going project is to put a human face on the statics, to allow the 65,000 gay men and women currently serving in the armed forces, and the more than one million gay veterans a chance not only to be seen but heard- in their own voices.
This portrait essay is now available in an 82 page full-color, self-published limited edition of 100 photo book.

Investigation Starting into Mormon Church and Mormon Congressmen Over Personal Use of US Diplomats
Salt Lake City, UT – The Mormon church has once again gotten its hands caught in the cookie jar. Political watchdogs are calling for an investigation into the Mormon Church as well as Mormon members of Congress for using US Diplomats to further their religious agenda.
Fred Karger, the political watchdog who called for the investigation into the Mormon Church over Prop 8 (resulting in fines for violating election laws), is now calling for this new investigation.
This all started when the government of Switzerland told the Mormon church that they were going to limit the number of missionaries they were going to allow into the country. The Mormons weren't singled out personally, the Swiss Government is limiting the number of work visas they dole out every year (which includes the missionaries).
Well the Mormon Church called Mormon member of Congress who immediately sent a letter to the Swiss Ambassador demanding that they allow more missionaries. The letter was signed by 13[sic] Mormon members of Congress: Harry Reid, Mike Crapo, Orrin Hatch, Bob Bennet, Tom Udall, Jeff Flake, Wally Herger, Howard "Buck" McKeon, Mike Simpson, Dean Heller, Rob Bishop, Jason Chaffetz and Jim Matheson.
They received a letter back from the Switzerland Ambassador saying, in essence, tough shit. But that wasn't good enough for the Mormon Church. With the aid of the Mormon members of Congress, the US Ambassador was assigned to travel with high-level Mormon E. Weidman to visit Switzerland and negotiate directly on behalf of the Mormon Church.
What do you think, sound like abuse of power and religion-before-country to you?
A copy of the letter from Congress to the Swiss ambassador can be found here.
A copy of letter from the Swiss ambassador to Congress can be found here.
Can't find anything besides the original source that says an investigation has been officially launched (you'd think that would make mainstream news), but it sounds like something that should be investigated at the very least.

LTTE plans to attack PM, home minister!
December 15, 2010 at 9:59 pm by HaribabuBolineni 2013-11-13T07:39:25+05:30
NEW DELHI: The LTTE, which is almost on the verge of a wipe out, is trying to regroup and planning to launch spectacular strikes on high-profile targets like Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, home minister P Chidambaram and Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi.
According to an intelligence input, some cadres of the LTTE, who escaped the wrath of the Sri Lankan Army during the all-out operations in the island nation earlier this year, were trying to regroup in India and planning attacks on top political leaders, particularly when they travel in Tamil Nadu.
The security agencies have taken the input seriously as former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by LTTE suicide squad members in the southern state in 1991.
Besides, Prime Minister Singh is also likely to visit Tamil Nadu next month to attend some public functions.
"Though LTTE is now a weak force and all top leaders were killed during the Sri Lankan Army's assault, attempts to regroup by some cadres is a disturbing report," an official said.(PTI)

TJC annual report shows safety improvement
AHRQ quality report shows improvement
Report Shows Potential Value of PCMH Model
Five questions assess quality improvement in ICU safety
The Joint Commission Requires Some Information
Evidence of economic burden of disparate care for minorities continues to grow
620 hospitals named top performers
The 5th annual Joint Commission (TJC) report on patient safety, "Improving America's Hospitals: The Joint Commission Annual Report on Quality and Safety 2012," presents proof positive that hospitals are getting the quality message that TJC wants them to learn. This year, it lists more than double the number of top performing hospitals as in 2011, with 620 of the more than 3,300 hospitals submitting data to TJC achieving that status. To gain such recognition, they must score 95% or better on both the composite score from all the measures, and for every measure for which there are more than 30 eligible cases or patients.
While just under a fifth of reporting facilities were top performers, the vast majority — just under 89% — had a composite score of at least 90%, more than four times the total that reached that level a decade ago.
The number with the 90 or above composite score might have been higher, but the 2012 report includes new measures for inpatient psychiatric, stroke, and venous thromboembolism (VTE) care, whose addition resulted from the 91.7% that got a 90 or above composite score last year.
Another 583 hospitals were just short of making the Top Performer mark by missing the 95% cutoff on a single measure.
All of the measures tracked for more than a year have shown improvement over the last 12 months. Most of the measures are well into the 90-100% category. The new measures, though, lag a bit but still show improvement. VTE care is up 7.2 points to 89.9%; stroke care is up 2.2% to 94.9; and inpatient psychiatric services is up from 80.5% two years ago to 87.3 in this past year.
While maybe a third of the reporting hospitals show themselves to be astonishingly safe facilities worthy — or very nearly worthy — of being called a top performer, it's by no means an easy designation to get, say Jerod Loeb, PhD, executive vice president for the division of healthcare quality evaluation at TJC.
Indeed, if you look at the lists of top hospitals that make it into consumer publications, few of those facilities make the grade in TJC's annual report. "The academic medical centers are under-represented here, although there are more of them this year than last." Their representation actually increased by half — from 6% of the top performers to 9%.
But the fact that relatively few academic medical centers are listed is of interest. Loeb says they are very large organizations with huge staff and vast numbers of patients. Getting something right 95% of the time, and remembering to document that you did so, seems to be much harder for those large organizations. While many large hospitals will note that they serve much sicker patients, Loeb says that won't fly with these measures, because none of them are related to severity of illness.
As a cancer patient, Loeb says he has experienced care in both a large cancer center and a small community hospital. "I think it's easier in the latter to get things done. My hope is that this will be a stimulus to those bigger facilities to talk more about how to ensure the mundane stuff gets done and documented, like getting aspirin or beta-blockers to the appropriate patients in a timely manner."
And while Loeb encourages organizations to talk to each other to find answers to some of the problems they encounter — there are solution sharing opportunities through the Joint Commission website — he is a firm believer that "when you've seen one institution, you've seen one institution. When you have a vexing problem in healthcare, the reasons at one hospital might be different than another. If you don't find the reason behind the failure specific to your facility, then your solution will be a failure."
For example, if hand-washing is a concern, maybe you find that placement of the hand sanitizer is a problem. So you place it near the entry and exit of the room and expect your compliance to go up, particularly if that worked at a facility like yours. But if you don't consider issues specific to your hospital — like having someplace for a nurse or doctor to put a chart so they can use the dispenser — then simply moving your hand sanitizer dispensers won't help solve your problem. "The old notions of best practices working everywhere doesn't hold," he says.
For those who still need to get that last little bit up to 95% and beyond, Loeb says to do a root cause analysis for even the everyday things. "Most of the time, they save root cause analysis for tragedies and sentinel events," he says.
Loeb says the 95% bar is high, but he knows that if there are 95 patients getting what they need every time, then there are five others who aren't. "Put yourself in the mind of a CEO who is being asked to defend not getting it right all the time," he says. "We have seen steady increases, predating a connection to incentive payments and public reporting. I think that for now, this is fine, but in a year or two, I bet the rules will be tighter. I would love to see some sort of reward for hitting that 100% mark, but at the end of the day, healthcare is local and a uniquely human endeavor."
What's it take to be the best?
Just getting to that 95% bar is difficult enough, and takes everyone in a facility working together. The more people you have, the harder that is, says Donna L. Zubay, BSN, MBA, CPHQ, chief quality officer and facility compliance officer at Oro Valley (AZ) Hospital. "If you have a constant rotation of new people and residents, it must be hard to achieve this kind of goal," she says. For her facility, it took having hospitalists on board, seeing pretty much every heart failure and pneumonia patient.
Zubay says the hospital uses an EMS provider whose staff relay what's going on in the field to the medical personnel at the hospital. They have built a level of trust over the years that allows the physicians to trust the technicians bringing in the patients implicitly. They work together to ensure that standards related to something like cardiac or stroke care are met on time for every single appropriate patient.
Despite being a top performer, Zubay says she still watches the new measures related to stroke and VTE carefully. "Getting the registration piece done quickly enough to get someone to the cath lab or whatever is tough." The hospital has been in the high 90s for most measures for a while. Getting to 100 is tough. For a 144-bed facility with an average census in the 60s, there are some kinds of cases and patients that are rare. Miss something on a single door-to-balloon measure or ACE or ARB inhibitors on discharge for one patient and you risk going below that 95% level, let alone the perfect mark.
She says constant teaching from the quality department and auditing of patient charts while the patient is still in the hospital helps them continue to perform at an exceptional level. "Concurrent auditing is important. If you don't know if you need some information in the chart — the injection fraction for a heart failure patient that might have been done in the cardiologist's office before admission, for instance — you have a problem. Knowing something is missing after the patient leaves is too late."
She also makes it a point to tell physicians or nurses whenever something from one of the measures is missed or is missing. "We talk about this stuff regularly," says Zubay.
Another Top Performer, Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth, VA, puts its excellence down to involving everyone from food service to contractors in quality and quality improvement, says Warren Austin, MD, chief medical officer for the facility. "Someone from security may help the pneumonia team. Everyone is a part of our culture of excellence."
And while Austin says he knows the hospital is an outstanding facility, there was still an element of surprise at being named among the best of the best. "But while getting awards is great, great care is better."
The hospital aims for 100% on every single core measure, he says. "If you are at 61 minutes for pre-surgical antibiotics, you fall out of that 100%. It doesn't matter if it was because of some surgical delay or other uncontrollable reason. There are a lot of moving parts and you have to have everyone involved, everyone playing a part."
A current goal for Bon Secours Maryview is zero healthcare-acquired infections. "Sick people come to the hospital and spread their germs," Austin says. "We work towards zero, we shoot for the moon, but it's very hard." And while 99% seems like a great score for an algebra test, he says they don't celebrate for anything less than perfect. "We might share that something is 97%, but there is no party."
Indeed, make it a point to remind your staff what 95% really means, says Ruth Ragusa, RN, vice president of organizational effectiveness at South Nassau Community Hospital in Oceanside, NY. "If you or your mother or your child were one of the 5% that didn't get some treatment or care in the right amount of time, you'd be concerned. If you present this to your staff and they applaud the 95%, remember to remind them that of those 1,000 patients, 50 didn't get the very best care. Remember the ones you miss."

Bon Secours hospital gains recognition
The same week that Bon Secours Virginia Health System got the news that one of its hospitals was named a Top Performer by the Joint Commission (see story above), it got news that another of its facilities, Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital in Newport News, VA, achieved a long-held goal: to reach Pathway To Excellence designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), indicating it has created a positive work environment for its nurses as determined by a rigorous review process. It is the third hospital in Virginia to achieve the designation. All three are Bon Secours facilities.
The facility had to show it had implemented 12 quality initiatives that research shows make a difference to both the nurses working at a facility and their patients. Those standards are:
nursing control of nursing practices;
a safe work environment;
systems to address patient care and practice concerns;
a good orientation program;
a qualified CNO who participates at all levels of the organization;
professional development that is available and utilized;
fair compensation;
recognition for nursing achievements;
work-life balance is encouraged;
an emphasis on collaborative relationships;
competent and accountable nurse managers;
evidence-based practices and robust quality improvement program.
It took two years to complete the process, including an application, the compilation of reams of documentation, review by an accrediting commission, and a survey of nurses that at least 51% of them had to return and whose result must be at least 75% positive. Jeff Doucette, MS, RN, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer, says that they had a 69% participation rate and "great" positive responses.
The designation lasts for three years, and is often the first step an organization takes on its path to Magnet status, also awarded by the ANCC. "Hospitals that meet this criteria have better outcomes, better patient and physician satisfaction with the quality of nursing care, and a recognized positive work environment for nurses," he says. "This is the only organization and program that links the nursing experience to outcomes."
Doucette encourages other organizations who believe they have a great nursing staff to look at the program and consider going through the process. Even smaller facilities for which Magnet status isn't a good fit can take this step in adopting the foundational core of the Magnet program, he says. "Pathways offers you a chance to let your staff know — and the community you serve know — that you value your nurses and understand that what they do impacts patient outcomes.
Doucette says Mary Immaculate will continue to work toward Magnet recognition, and is thrilled to reach this point on the journey. "As an early adopter of the Pathways program, we want to get the word out about it. This is the validation of what we have invested in our nursing team and its development."

Q: Django serializers: how to deny extra fields? I am writing tests for my Django apps. I am using Django serializers to test API response. I found out that it allows extra fields:
from rest_framework import serializers

class ProjectSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    name = serializers.CharField()

ProjectSerializer({'name': "Project A", "state": "active"}).is_valid()
# True
ProjectSerializer().to_internal_value(data={'name': "Project A", "state": "active"})
# OrderedDict([('name', 'Project A')])

What I want is to ensure there will be no other fields in a response. Let's say, I expect this:
data = {'name': "Project A", "state": "active"}
ProjectSerializer(data, extra='forbid').is_valid()
# False

Using marshmallow I can do it like that:
from marshmallow import Schema, INCLUDE

class UserSchema(Schema):
    class Meta:
        unknown = RAISE

RAISE (default): raise a ValidationError if there are any unknown
fields

With pydantic it will be like this:
from pydantic import BaseModel, ValidationError, Extra

class Model(BaseModel, extra=Extra.forbid):
    a: str

'forbid' will cause validation to fail if extra attributes are
included

Is there any options I can use with Django to perform this?

A: I don't see the need to do it this way, nor does rest-framework behave the way you are describing.
to confirm you can check the validated_data param that is passed down to the create or update method of the serializer.
Only the explicitly declared fields are available in the validated_data attribute (which is used for further crud operations)

Stade Rennes coach Genesio hails 'deadly' Kamaldeen after Metz display
Mon, 18 Oct 2021 Source: goal.com
Stade Rennes coach Bruno Genesio has lavished praise on Ghana sensation Kamaldeen Sulemana after his outstanding performance against Metz in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Continuing from where he left off before the international break, the summer signing found the back of the net with a brilliant finish to help ensure a 3-0 away victory in the matchday 10 fixture.
It was his third league goal of the season.
"This is typically his characteristics: he is enthusiastic, carefree, runs fast, deadly," Genesio said after Sunday's tie at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
"He gives us a lot of pleasure, and he is pleasant to lead because he always comes to training with a smile to work. He has a lot of freshness, he is 19 years old and has made an incredible start to the season.
"He is also in the image of a team which has found its bearings and confidence. Everything is very fragile. We had lost and played a very average match at Marseille, we did not fall into crisis so far.
"We must not fall into an excess of confidence as that could cost us dearly. We must continue to work, there are many games with the European Cup.
"We miss Jeremy Doku, one of our best players, who is unfortunately injured. It opens up great prospects if we continue in this state of mind."
In all competitions for Rennes, Kamaldeen has netted four goals and registered one assist in his last five games.
In Ligue 1, he has made nine total appearances for the club.
The 19-year-old joined the French outfit from Danish fold Nordsjaelland in a five-year deal in July.
He was a target of Dutch giants Ajax, Liverpool, Manchester United and Club Brugge before settling for The Red and Blacks.
He made his debut for his new club in a 1-1 draw with Lens on the opening day of the 2021-22 league season, capping his outing with his side's goal.
He went on to find a target against Clermont before netting against Metz on Sunday.
The winger also scored in a Europa Conference League encounter with Dutch fold Vitesse Arnhem.

I'm building a custom module in Drupal 8. It includes some YAML config files.
As I develop I need to change and add to the config, e.g. to add another field onto my custom entity.
At present the only way I've found to get Drupal to notice the changes is to uninstall the module and re-install it.
Is there a way to get Drupal to check that the config files provided by modules is the same as the active config, and if not, update the active config? How are module updates handled? In D7 hook_update_N would be used to add fields using PHP, but it looks like this should be handled by the CM in D8?
manually copying all the updated config files into sites/default/files/config_XXX/staging/ - but this gives this error "The staged configuration cannot be imported, because it originates from a different site than this site. You can only synchronize configuration between cloned instances of this site.".
manually importing the files one by one using the config manager. This works, but obviously there must be a more automatic way.
[EDIT] manually use the config_update module to inspect changes and 'revert' to the module's config. Again, this is manual.
Try to change the active configuration on your site by changing files in a module's config/install directory. This will NOT work because Drupal will only read from that directory when the module is installed.
...but changes there are going to happen, unless modules are bound to whatever config they needed in their first ever release, and may never ever update or add config.
As mentioned in the original question, and follow-up comments, there are a variety of contrib modules and manual methods to accomplish this.
To do it automatically, or in a custom fashion, I think hook_update_N() is still probably the most viable option.
where $path is the absolute path to the my_config.foo.yml file.
As I landed on this question as well but did not really find the correct answer for my situation here, I'd like to add another answer.
When we're developing projects we constantly update our test / acceptance environment with new configuration updates. Take for example a simple fictional News-module, we'd like to add a content-type to the module and deploy this to our acceptance environment. After review, we have concluded there are a few fields missing and other config-related stuff. Since we know the acceptance environment is not being updated in config, we really only want to reload the entire config from the module while added new functionality and not be bothered by importing every changed .yml file.
We only need our config in modules when we're developing multisites. For single sites, we mostly just use exported site config in which the next step is unnecessary .
We found that using the ConfigInstaller service, we're able to reimport the complete config again from a specific module.
// Implement in a update_N hook.
I'd like to add that this will overwrite any active content that has been altered within the environment. So, only use this solution when you are sure it's safe to overwrite the active config. We'll never use this on a production environment and will only apply in early development.
First try out @jhedstrom's solution before you begin considering this one.
* Update all my config.
* This can be more selective than calling installDefaultConfig().
* Update or install config entities from config/install files.
// Lazy hack here since that code ignores the file extension.
Configuration Synchronizer module helps to solve this issue in a nice way. This module suite of 7 modules seems to be a bit overkill just for this case (its intention is mainly to safely merge in updates without overwriting customizations), but because of its concept it also allows to track and import configuration changes from module's /install and /optional folders quickly.
Note: if you only want to use the config_sync to accelerate config import during module's development (and you don't care about merging in with client updates), it's enough to have this suite installed and enabled on your local (development) environment only (assuming your module will go to higher environments after finalizing and you use the D8 core config management to post its configuration to higher environments).
Based on my comment: How do I update the configuration of a module?
When I am following the second approach the config is written to Drupal but is not getting an UUID even when I export it to the config directory. This lead me into a problem where I tried this with a custom View. The Views overview page returned me an fatal error since the uuid for the Config entity was not available.
* Add new action configurations.

The arrival of spring in New England is always a cause for celebration. The return of sunshine and warmer days; plants easing out of their winter dormancy; the colorful, bursting arrival of daffodils, pansies and tulips; and the greening of our lawns. These things help many of us to rejoice at the natural cycle of the seasons.
Spring is also the season when we celebrate Earth Day and reaffirm our dedication to ensuring a clean and healthy environment for our communities and citizens.
In New England we are fortunate, not only because we inhabit a uniquely beautiful corner of the United States, filled with historic communities and splendid landscapes. We are also fortunate because in New England, by and large our extended community has achieved a shared consensus that a healthy and protected environment is attainable, and worth the short-term efforts needed to ensure long-term prosperity and healthy living.
A clean and protected environment does not happen by chance, nor does it happen simply because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decides that is a good idea. Rather, a healthful environment is the result of hard work and effort from many individuals, organizations, and levels of government, all coordinating together to achieve our mutual goal.
During my travels around New England to see firsthand how EPA's work is helping and impacting local communities, I have been honored to spend time with mayors, selectmen, local experts, as well as dedicated professionals working in state agencies. One theme is reinforced repeatedly: seldom does EPA act alone. Protecting our environment is a job that requires all of us.
Partnerships have been a cornerstone of EPA's work in New England. All the major success stories, whether a brownfields redevelopment in a local community, a Superfund site cleaned up and returned to productive use in a municipality, or the decades-long success of cleaning up Boston Harbor and the Charles River, are all due to the dedicated efforts of many organizations that partnered together to work for a better, cleaner, and healthier environmental outcome.
We are proud of past accomplishments, but our work to protect New England citizens from environmental contamination is not finished. Here in our states, there are still far too many families and small children exposed to lead. Excessive nutrients contained in stormwater runoff threatens our lakes, ponds, streams and even coastal areas. Our work to improve Lake Champlain, Cape Cod and the southeast coastal areas has only just begun.
I am ever more confident that here in New England, across levels of government, communities and non-profits, we are committed to working hard and putting in the hours and effort needed to achieve a clean and healthy environment for all our communities and neighbors. For this Earth Month, that is something we can all celebrate!

Borussia Dortmund winger Ousmane Dembele sparked a social media panic on Saturday when he appeared in a Facebook live alongside teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang while wearing a Tottenham Hotspur shirt.
Fans began to speculate whether or not the 19-year-old - who has already been capped three times by France - would be interested in a move to north London.
While there does not appear to be any bid yet, Spurs fans are unlikely to let this one die so easily.
Spurs could be lining up a shock move for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha this January as a replacement for Erik Lamela, who has been linked with a return to Roma.
The 24-year-old would cost in the region of £25m, and Mauricio Pochettino is supposedly willing to dig out the cheque book as he hopes to avoid another late-season dip in form as Spurs aim for a first league title since the 1960s.
One thing seems certain this January, that Spurs are on the look out for a winger. Should they flinch at Zaha's £25m valuation, Pochettino and Daniel Levy may decide instead to move for the £9m-rated Andriy Yarmolenko.
The Ukrainian is apparently ready to leave Dinamo Kiev this month, with Everton and Stoke also considering a move for the 27-year-old.
Which of these Tottenham Hotspur January transfer window signings cost more money?

After almost a decade-long delay, the most awaited Louvre Abu Dhabi Universal Museum is now in its completion stage and all set to add a pivot point to the status of not only Abu Dhabi but the UAE itself, placing it among the world's most popular cultural nations.
The first of its kind universal museum in the Arabian Peninsula, it is a collaborative effort between the governments of Abu Dhabi and France, and obviously its legendary name says it all. But contrary to its name, it's not all about replicating the model or content of Louvre Museum, but rather establishing a rational route of discovery, openness and oneness. This unique and enlightening approach creates a perfect platform for the education and exchange of ideas as well as cultures, allowing visitors to explore diverse civilizations and world history through its extensive exhibits; compare and learn them in-depth; and most importantly, contemplate on their genuine values.
Showcasing a vast spectrum of objects that depict both ancient and the latest in the contemporary artistic expressions, the $650 million museum features permanent installations that span for more than 65,000 square feet and mainly backed by loans from such legendary museums as Musée du Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, and Centre Pompidou. With its exhibits presented chronologically, it will take you through four distinct periods, from archeology and the birth of Islam to the classical age and modern era. Apart from a dedicated section for kids, there is approximately 20000 square feet of space for temporary exhibitions as well.
Most of all, Louvre Abu Dhabi Universal Museum is truly an impressive spectacle on water. Encompassing a series of stunning white structures that reflect an Arabian city, it forms a significant element of the thriving Saadiyat Cultural District which will also host museums including the Zayed National Museum and the Guggenheim Museum. The award-winning French architect, Jean Nouvel, has drawn inspiration for its awe-inspiring design from the region's ancient construction techniques, such as the traditional Falaj water system and interweaved palm leaves, which were once used for roofing purpose.
Apparently, the core specialty of this mesmerizing building is undoubtedly its intricate and multi-layered geometric lace dome, enhanced by thousands of star-like cladding patterns. The resulting structure provides elegant perforations, creating a stunning contrast of sunlight and shade. Needless to say, the one of its kind museum is striking in every way – unique concept, wide-ranging offerings, and aesthetic appearance!

The deal is the latest in a long list of partnerships and brand collaborations between FTX and other major US companies. FTX was founded only in 2019, making the breakneck growth even more surprising.

The Windstar YF-80 is an American single seat homebuilt replica of the Lockheed F-80.

Design and development

The YF-80 is a two-thirds scale replica of a Lockheed F-80 or T-33. The aircraft is a composite construction, single engine, low wing design with retractable tricycle landing gear. The tip tanks are removable for aerobatic flight. The aircraft is powered by a Chevy 350 V-8 turbocharged engine driving a turbine thrust section. The thrust section is driven by belts with high gear ratios to drive the turbine closer to the rotational speed it was originally designed for.

The aircraft project was intended to showcase the Davis engine technology with a static prototype displayed in 1977. Burt Rutan was approached to build the composite fuselage, but the US$240,000 cost estimate was declined. Davis attempted to produce a production prototype fuselage for US$80,000. By 1987 the project was not complete, resulting in a court case between investors. The prototype was re-engined with a Turbomeca Marboré II turbine engine as the Stargate YT-33.

Congressman K. Michael Conaway represents Texas' 11th Congressional District, consisting of 36 counties in Central and West Texas. Since his election in 2005, Conaway has brought a forward thinking, common-sense approach to Congress and has earned the reputation as "a voice of reason" in Washington.
A native Texan, Conaway grew up in Odessa, graduating from Odessa Permian High School in 1966 after playing on Permian's first state championship football team. He graduated from Texas A & M University-Commerce in 1970 with a BBA degree in Accounting.
After serving in the Army at Fort Hood, Conaway resumed his career with Price Waterhouse & Co., one of the largest accounting firms in the world. He returned to the Permian Basin with Price Waterhouse and settled in Midland where he later worked with George W. Bush as the Chief Financial Officer for Bush Exploration.
In 1995, Governor Bush appointed Conaway to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, a state regulatory agency that regulates the practice of accountancy in Texas. Conaway volunteered his time to serve the citizens of Texas on the board for seven years, including more than five years as Chairman in which he played a role in writing regulations and dealt actively with local, state, and federal officials.
Conaway believes that each Texan has a responsibility to make our communities stronger. He has given countless hours as a volunteer in our communities, working jointly with Texas charities on numerous boards and organizations. In 1990, he was named "Volunteer of the Decade" by the Community Services branch of the Midland YMCA.
Conaway's background as a CPA has given him the credibility to be a vocal proponent in reducing the national debt. As a small business owner Conaway knows the burden excessive regulation, expansive government, and taxes put on the American family and small businesses. Conaway has advocated for a simpler and fairer tax system and has sponsored legislation that would bring more accountability in government funding. In the 109th Congress he won the Ronald Reagan Award for showing exemplary leadership in communicating the need for Social Security and Medicare reform.
Conaway currently serves on the House Agriculture, Armed Services, and Budget Committees. As a member of the Armed Services Committee he supports the goals of the Global War Against Islamic Jihadists and the men and women in the armed forces. On the Agriculture Committee Conaway works to protect the interests of rural America and the American farmer in the Farm Bill. He also serves on the Republican Policy Committee which helps good ideas become good legislation.
An ordained deacon in the Baptist Church, Conaway is a committed volunteer, small businessman, and devoted husband and father. He and his wife, Suzanne currently live in Midland, Texas.

Q: Is it possible to have EJBs in domain1/lib using GlassFish? I use GlassFish 4 web profile and I have the following interface and class.
@Local
public interface SomeService {
...
}

@Singleton
public class SomeServiceBean implements SomeService {
...
}

When I put interface and class in .war archive (that is in domain1/autodeplay) everything works fine. However, when I put interface and class in separate .jar archive (that is in domain1/lib) then deploying war application I get:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot resolve reference Local ejb-ref name=com.temp.MyServlet/someService,Local 3.x interface =com.temp.SomeService,ejb-link=null,lookup=,mappedName=,jndi-name=,refType=Session
    at com.sun.enterprise.deployment.util.ComponentValidator.accept(ComponentValidator.java:374) ~[dol.jar:na]
    at com.sun.enterprise.deployment.util.DefaultDOLVisitor.accept(DefaultDOLVisitor.java:78) ~[dol.jar:na]
    at com.sun.enterprise.deployment.util.ComponentValidator.accept(ComponentValidator.java:123) ~[dol.jar:na]
    at com.sun.enterprise.deployment.util.ApplicationValidator.accept(ApplicationValidator.java:152) ~[dol.jar:n
    ...

I don't use any xml descriptors. So, is it possible to have EJBs in domain1/lib and if yes, how to make EJB container find them? P.S. I tried in GF 4 full - result is the same.

A: EJBs cannot be added as a library to GlassFish, libraries are just added to the classpath and any annotations on them are ignored and they do not go through the EJB container. If you do want your EJBs as a seperate JAR, they can be deployed just like a WAR or EAR file.

In the Glassfish reference manual for the add-library command it says that it "adds the library to the class loader directory", while for the deploy command it says that "Applications can be...EJB modules".
Also by looking at the source code for Glassfish it can be worked out that all libraries are simply added to the Classloader either at launch (See here and here) or if in applibs then when the application is deployed (See here).


Chidambaram said the saffron party will end up with zero seats in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the upcoming general elections.
New Delhi: The BJP will draw a blank in four southern states and may take a big hit in Karnataka, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram has said.
In an interview to CNN-News18, Chidambaram said the saffron party will end up with zero seats in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the upcoming general elections.
"Southern states will reject the BJP lock, stock and barrel. They will get zero in Kerala, zero in Telangana, zero in Andhra Pradesh and zero in Tamil Nadu. They may win a few seats in Karnataka, but it will be less than what they have today," the former finance minister said.
Accusing the BJP of practising the 'politics of polarisation', Chidambaram said the tactic will not work outside the Hindi heartland.
"They will try to polarise voters, which may not may not work in the Hindi heartland. I assure you that this nefarious attempt will not work outside the Hindi heartland," he said.
Cracking the code in south India has always been a challenge for the BJP. The party currently has 21 Lok Sabha seats from the five southern states, which together account for 129 seats in the lower house.
Among the southern states, Karnataka contributed the most to the saffron party's kitty with 17 seats. At the time, it was thought to be the party's 'Gateway to South India', but Assembly elections in the state brought heartbreak for the party, with the Congress-JD(S) coming to power in the state.
While the party drew a naught in Kerala in 2014, it is hoping that its position on the Sabarimala issue will help it break the jinx in the Left-ruled state.
In Tamil Nadu, where it won just one seat in 2014, the BJP has entered into an alliance with the ruling AIADMK, which had swept the general elections last time but has since been plagued with infighting since the demise of J Jayalalithaa. It's in direct fight with the Congress-DMK combine, which is also without the expertise of M Karunanidhi.
In Andhra Pradesh, where it had won two seats in 2014, the BJP faces friend-turned-foe Chandrababu Naidu's TDP which has since moved to the Congress camp. In Telangana, the party is banking on K Chandrashekar Rao's TRS to keep the Congress at bay.
Given its dismal performance in Assembly elections in the heartland states of Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the party is banking on the southern and northeastern states to shore up the number in the Lok Sabha.

In 2018, public schools have had their funding cut by $1.9 billion.
But that didn't stop, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Education Minister Dan Tehan from announcing an extra $4.6 billion for non-government schools. This is a huge missed opportunity to properly fund the schools that most Australian children attend.

This year, public schools have had their funding cut by $1.9 billion.
But now, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Education Minister Dan Tehan have announced an extra $4.6 billion for non-government schools.
There is no extra money for Government schools, that's despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of Australian children attend public schools.
What does that mean? Well, by 2023, nearly nine in ten public schools will be left underfunded. But two-thirds of private schools will be overfunded.
We have to change this, and the best way to do that is to work together.
Join our campaign. Show your support for public education, and for the millions of Aussie kids who attend government schools around the country.

One of my favorites is Eislers where the fixtures are old and it has the old time feel of my childhood pharmacy. The pharmacist takes a genuine interest in making sure he gets everything right and they also have a good selection of razors, shampoo etc. Definitely a neighborhood resource.
