We fight for students in the public education system to get access to the quality education they have a right to, and to end the school to prison pipeline.
The Right to Education Project supports North Carolina children and families with the following issue areas at school: (1) enrollment and access, (2) long-term suspension, expulsion, and alternative school placements, (3) special education and disability-related needs, and (4) discrimination and harassment. You can contact us through the Legal Aid Helpline listed below.
Before calling our Helpline, we strongly recommend going to the Resources section below, clicking on the Issue Area that you will be calling about, and (1) trying out the suggested advocacy strategies listed, (2) reading the Advocacy Toolkits and (3) watching the videos. Our team has limited capacity to take on individual cases, so each 'Issue Area' page provides strategies to support your child that you can do without a lawyer.

When Susan Keogh won an elementary school writing contest and a trip to a regional young writers conference, she hadn't realized that experience was the beginning of a love affair with words. Keogh was raised in a large family where reading was encouraged. Through her mother's interest in history, Keogh grew to admire such authors as Michael Shaara and Bruce Catton, a fellow Michigan writer who focused on the American Civil War. So it was no wonder that her first writing credit was a featured article in the magazine America's Civil War. Keogh's particular interest in the Civil War led her into re-enacting for several years as a field musician.
Keogh's most recent time period of historical interest is early colonial America and the age of piracy. She is crafting a series of novels that center around the adventures of Jack Mallory, a young Englishmen who is both pirate and eventually the patriarch of a large rice plantation in the colonial province of Carolina.
Outside of her writing life, Keogh works in the health care field and enjoys travel (preferably to warm places outside of her native Michigan!), the arts, and equestrian activities.


Hellooooo Penang! Ahaaa~ you can see how excited I was when writing this post. If you following me on Instagram you'll know that I just spend my last weekend for a shortgetaway to Penang with Kak Suzai and Kak Waniechan. It's been 4-5 years ever since I went to Penang. Sangat lamaa~ So since I got here I will definately spend my time leisurely. Glad that Kak Suzai expert in planning and organizing of our trip that day. She do some research first before we reach Penang. Nice! Thumbs Up Kak Suzai, Pika bagi 5 bintang.. Eheee..By the way, I didn't bring my camera that day so all the photo were taken using my handphone and even more excited because I bring my Wide Lens so I can snap photo even wider! HAHAHAA.. Thank you my dear friend. Nurul Izyan for giving me this lens. Love it much!
This is how the Hostel looks like. know if your frequent come to Penang you sure know this place right. By the way, the picture were taken after Jalan-Jalan Padang Kota and we officially check in around 7.30pm if I'm not mistaken.
They give us the key card and button token as for the door safety, DAMNN! the security were good! They used a very technology security system so you don't have to worried about anyone that will interrupt or disturb you.
This is me laying on my bed! Yahhhh... Love it even more..I will continue story about this Queen's Hostel more details on my check-out day [DAY 2]. Because I take more details picture of this Queens Hostel that day and Now I want to jump up to our Jalan-Jalan time at Padang Kota, Penang !
Ohh Ya! I just want to give a gentle reminder here.
This entry will full with picture, picture, picture and selfie, selfie, selfie!
So, I will let the picture talk. Okay !
We arrived at Padang Kota Lama. What is so special in here is their Pasembur!
This Medan Selera Padang Kota Lama located near by the sea. So you can see beautiful view and so many people were here either with their family or friends. A lot of tourist as well. One of attraction place in Penang I guess.
When in Penang you cannot miss to try out their Pasembur! I mean you must try their Pasembur because it is so delicious for me I think. But the rest of their food were just SO-SO. Makesure you don't order anything weird or common food because the price were expensive! Kak Suzai order Char Kue Tiaw price is RM8 but the amount is so small. Really small. Their coconut shake was not that good as well. I'm not really a fan of coconut shake but the best coconut shake have I tried was in Klebang, Melaka but here was not that good for coconut shake. Hahaa.. What an honest words Pika !
Uwahhh~ I'm definitely fall in love with this wide lens..
Here the place where you can spend some quality time with your family and friends.
It's Magrib already, It is the time for us to take our step back to our Hostel.
Get some rest and take bath to get ready Jalan-Jalan at night..
We having our dinner at Kapitan Restaurant in the Georgetown City near by our Hostel. At first we're planning on having dinner at Batu Ferringhi but ensure either there is still stalls/restaurant open or not over there so we decide to have our dinner here plus Kak Suzai already hungry. Mann! You don't want to make her hungry or she will get angry. Kekekekee.. *Joking akak! Jangan marah haaa~ Hahahaaa..Kapitan is a restaurant of Arabic+Mamak I guess. Hahahaa.. We order Nasi Briyani Kambing and Roti Naan Cheese. Well, I don't know why but their service was not good that night maybe to many customer I guess. As for the taste is just Okay for me not that delicious or anything because I've taste much delicious Nasi Briyani and Roti Naan before. Hahaa. Another honest words Pika ! Hahaaa..
This is the main reason why we come away to Baru Ferringhi that night. Because Kak Suzai want to visit Penang Hard Rock Cafe. Hahaa. Snap "a few" picture and listen to a few song from outside only lahh. Hahaa. The band that night was awesome. All song they play was hits..

Interview with LAIS Alumna, Nicole Pacino
Nicole Pacino, a native of St. Louis, Missouri, holds a B.A. from DePauw University. She graduated from the LAIS M.A. Program in 2007 and went on to puruse a PhD in History, also at UCSB, where she graduated in 2013. She is currently an Associate Professor of History at University of Alabama in Huntsville.
What is the main contribution of your research?
My research traces the expansion of public health programs in the Bolivian countryside after the 1952 National Revolution. I use the expansion of public health programs during this era to investigate changing ideas about race, gender, and national identity in relation to state-driven economic and political change and to demonstrate that rural public health programs forged a new way for women and indigenous communities to negotiate with the state. I argue that public health programs facilitated the growth of post-revolutionary state authority, especially in remote rural regions representing two-thirds of the total population. I focus on these rural regions, where state authority was far from hegemonic, to demonstrate that these peripheral areas showcase how people on the supposed margins of political power shape national policies. My research shows that enhancing national welfare was central to the government's plan for social change, but also that rural communities shaped this process in accordance with their own agendas. By detailing rural communities' impact on the revolutionary process, my project situates indigenous Bolivians at the center of the post-revolutionary nation-building project.
Is there any connection beteen your LAIS MA thesis and your current research?
Actually, the only thing that links my MA thesis with my current research is my interest in revolutions and social movements and my focus on the Andean region. My MA thesis explored the topics of globalization, resistance, and transnational solidarity movements through local community opposition to the construction of an open-pit copper mine in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. I did interviews with Ecuadorians active in the anti-mining and pro-environment movements, and argued that by resisting international development projects and partnering with transnational solidarity networks they were engaging with globalization on their own terms. When I started the PhD program in History, I became enamored with a new subject (public health) and a new country (Bolivia) and switched to studying Bolivia and its revolutionary period. So, you never know what direction your interests will take!
I hope to go back to Ecuador to do research some day. I have an idea for a future project on the history of quinoa production and consumption and am considering making it a transnational project spanning Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru.
What led you to pursue an MA with LAIS?
I had been an interdisciplinary major as an undergraduate (conflict studies and women's studies), and wanted to continue interdisciplinary studies with a Latin American focus as a graduate student. I wasn't sure what direction to pursue for my PhD, and I thought the terminal MA program with LAIS would help me figure that it. It did, but it didn't take the direction I thought it would! I assumed I would go on to do a PhD in Sociology, which had been the basis of much of my undergraduate studies, but after taking History courses for the LAIS degree (which I took more of than Sociology classes) I decided to apply to PhD programs in History instead.
What was the most valuable aspect of your experience with LAIS?
There were a lot of things that were valuable about the experience. First and foremost was the interdisciplinary nature of the program, which forced me to take classes that I might not have otherwise. Second was the opportunity to take classes and work with so many different professors. Many of the people I took classes with as an MA student mentored me through my PhD as well. Finally, the thesis writing was an invaluable experience, especially since I went on to complete a PhD, because it taught me how to undertake a sizable research project and be diligent with my writing.
What advice do you have for current graduate students in LAIS?
Enjoy everything about the program, get to know the faculty, and take advantage of the opportunities and resources that are provided. Also, take a variety of classes, including classes that you don't think you will be interested in, because you never know where they will lead you!

About Closed-End Funds
A closed-end fund is a professionally managed investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that invests in securities that it believes will help it achieve its investment objective, pursuant to the prospectus limitations. Historically, most closed-end funds specialize in either fixed-income or equity securities and follow a pre-determined investment objective, such as current income or capital appreciation.
Guggenheim Investments' Unique Closed-End Funds Strategies
Guggenheim Investments' Closed-End Funds offer access to several unique securities and strategies, including:
Inflation-linked securities
Covered call equity strategies
Global convertible securities strategy
Diversified fixed-income securities
How Closed-End Funds Work
Closed-end funds raise their assets by issuing a fixed number of shares via an initial public offering ("IPO"). Closed-end fund shares are primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), NASDAQ and the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"). The proceeds from the IPO are invested in a portfolio of equity and/or fixed-income securities that intend to meet the fund's investment objective. The portfolio of securities is then professionally and actively managed by the fund's manager.
Unlike open-end funds, also known as mutual funds, whose shares are purchased and sold at their underlying net asset value, closed-end fund shares are either purchased or sold at their prevailing market price. Because the number of shares is fixed at issuance, the portfolio managers tend to have a more stable asset base to invest, do not need to manage the fund's cash flows, may invest a higher percentage in illiquid assets and can remain fully invested in their investment strategy.
Advantages of Closed-End Funds
Exchange-Traded Liquidity
Closed-end funds are typically listed on a major exchange such as the NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX. An exchange listing provides investors with the benefits of intra-day liquidity and the ability to track the investment intra-day. Unlike mutual funds, closed-end funds allow an investor to obtain an intra-day price quotation, purchase or sell shares throughout the trading day, sell short, and place market or limit orders to purchase or sell shares.
To help keep investors informed, using the fund's ticker symbol, one can easily access current and historical pricing and performance information via financial publications, select newspapers and other electronic services.
Access to Alternative Securities and Strategies
The closed-end fund structure provides an investment vehicle to invest in alternative securities and strategies historically viewed as institutional or strategies generally not available within other investment vehicles. Although not exclusive to closed-end funds, some examples of alternative securities include, but are not limited to, convertible securities, master limited partnerships ("MLPs"), senior loans and commodities. Some examples of alternative strategies include covered-call writing and dividend capture strategies.
Opportunity to Buy Shares at a Discount
During any period of time, a closed-end fund's market price may be at, above or below its net asset value ("NAV"). The premium or discount valuation is in reference to the closed-end fund's underlying NAV and is calculated as market price minus NAV, divided by NAV [(Market Price-NAV)/NAV]. Although there is no single reason that succinctly explains why closed-end funds trade at discounts or premiums to their underlying net asset values, there are several factors that may contribute to premiums or discounts. Some factors include, but are not limited to, investor sentiment, supply and demand of the fund, historical performance and the yield the strategy has historically been able to generate for shareholders.
Investors may find it advantageous to buy a fund when it is trading at a discount to its NAV as every dollar working for the Fund (NAV) is greater than every dollar invested (market price). The yield, if purchased at a discount, based upon market price, will be higher than if based on the NAV of the portfolio. Conversely, if a closed-end fund is purchased at a premium to its NAV, the yield would be reduced as compared to a purchase at NAV. There is no guarantee that a fund's yield will not fall regardless of whether the discount widens. In addition, as an investor's total return will be impacted by the value of the fund's shares, a widening discount may negatively affect total return.
Ability to Leverage
As a means of attempting to improve the common shareholder's total return, many closed-end funds will utilize leverage to help enhance a fund's yield and overall performance potential. A closed-end fund may benefit from leverage by borrowing and/or issuing preferred shares at a lower interest rate and investing those monies at a higher reinvestment rate to take advantage of any spread that may exist. In general, leverage may be a positive contributor to performance if the rate earned on the investment strategy exceeds the cost of borrowing or issuing preferred shares. Conversely, leverage can detract from the overall fund performance if the spread narrows; thereby pressuring a fund's cash flows.
Leverage can be structured in a number of different ways. The most typical forms of closed-end fund leverage include the issuance of senior securities in the form of preferred shares, or the utilization of commercial paper, bank loans or debt securities. Leveraging carries certain risks, including higher volatility of NAV, share price and income, which may increase the chance of loss to the common shareholders.
Leverage is a speculative technique which may expose a fund to greater risk and increase its costs. Increases and decreases in the value of the fund's portfolio will be magnified when a fund utilizes leverage. For example, leverage may cause greater swings in a fund's NAV or cause a fund to lose more than it invested. A fund will also have to pay interest or dividends on its leverage, reducing a fund's return. This expense may be greater than a fund's return on the underlying investment. There is no assurance that a fund's leveraging strategy will be successful.
Attractive Income Potential
Many closed-end funds are considered income vehicles that are designed to distribute income to shareholders via periodic distributions. Investors generally have the option of receiving distributions in cash or having them reinvested through the fund's dividend reinvestment program ("DRIP"). By utilizing the fund's DRIP, investors can purchase additional shares of the fund at regular intervals, and over time, this program has the potential to lead to higher total returns.
This method does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market.
There can be no assurance that any closed-end fund will achieve its investment objective(s). Past performance does not guarantee future results. The value of any closed-end fund will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. Until the original listing of a closed-end fund on an exchange, no closed-end fund's shares will have a history of public trading and, historically closed-end funds often trade at a discount to their net asset value.

Q: Dynamic cross tabs from drop down list I have been trying to create a pivot table with dynamic cross tabs and columns with little luck. I need it to function just like this, with dynamic cross tabs on top and dynamic columns on the left.
1 http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1812/crosstabs.jpg
I also only need selected columns and cross tabs to be displayed. For instance if only one column and one cross tab is selected they should be the only ones displayed. I have tried a sql pivot and a grid but i cannot get it to format correctly with the two column categories stacked on top. I also tried crystal reports but there is no way to hide the cross tabs when they are not selected. I tried the Telerik reporting control but cannot get the cross tabs to dynamically generate with the drop down. I am looking for any advice on how to approach this. Also if anybody has created anything like this or has a idea how, please share.
Thanks in advance.

A: I have never used Telerik, so the following advice applies to Crystal only.
You can hide crosstabs conditionally in Crystal in at least two different ways:

*

*Through the Format dialog (not the Cross-Tab expert) - right-click on the Crosstab, select Format Cross-Tab... from the menu, press the x-2 button next to Suppress in the Common tab of the Format Editor dialog and enter an appropriate formula (something like {?crosstab1s1}="n/a").

*By placing the crosstab in its own sub-section and making the sub-section conditionally suppressed - right-click the grey area to the left of the report layout area in the Report Designer Design tab in the relevant sub-section, select Section Expert... from the menu, press the x-2 button next to Suppress (No Drill-Down) in the Common tab of the Section Expert dialog and enter an appropriate formula.

I suggest using the latter of these two approaches - suppressing the crosstab itself will still leave the whitespace where it was to be displayed.
You could also place the crosstabs each in their own subreport and suppress those conditionally - however, this introduces an additional level of complexity that does not appear to be necessary at this point.
A few other comments:

*

*Crystal's parameters are much less flexible than what can be achieved in ASP, so if possible do all the parameter selection in ASP and pass the parameters to Crystal.

*Crystal's handling of nulls is somewhat awkward, so pass a specific value indicating that a crosstab is not required, rather than relying on evaluation of a parameter as null.

*Your crosstab parameters are currently arranged as Crosstab 1 and Crosstab 2, each with or in Sections 1, 2 and 3. It isn't clear whether this means that there should be up to six crosstabs in total, or just two:

*

*If the former, then it isn't clear how the row grouping, column grouping and summarised fields are to be specified.

*If the latter, then I suggest renaming Sections 1, 2 and 3 as Row Grouping, Column Grouping and Summarised Field (as I assume that this is what these are to represent).

*You currently have Show Group Totals and Show Percentages options - these appear to apply to the crosstabs. These options can be specified in Crystal, but not conditionally within the report designer.

*If you are able to access the Crystal API, it should be possible to set these options programatically at runtime.

*Otherwise, your only option if you want to include both options for each crosstab would be to add four versions of each crosstab to the report, each conditionally suppressed based on which options are selected. (I wouldn't recommend this approach unless you have no alternative.)

*Crystal can't handle dynamic data structures (ie. the data structure has to be known when designing the report) so I suggest generating the result set in a SQL stored procedure based on the parameters specified, with a structure something like:

Dataset structure
crosstab1Row
crosstab1Column
crosstab1SumValue
crosstab2Row
crosstab2Column
crosstab2SumValue
reportColumn1
reportColumn2
reportColumn3
reportColumn4
reportColumn5

When Tis Done – Part 44
Brian and Jordan are talking with Heath about what happened with Jian, when he happens to call Jordan my woman. She takes offense and gets angry with him. Having had enough confrontation, he walks out and heads home, just as his parents are arriving.
"Honey, that was harsh," Heath said as he watched Brian leave.
"What? You think I'm his possession, too?"
"That isn't what he meant. You're promised. And even if you weren't, he's crazy about you."
"But he's all about owning me! That's not the first time he's said it."
Her father hugged her, kissing her on top of the head. "You have to understand how a man thinks. It's not ownership, but love that makes him talk like that. You own that boy, body and soul. Think about that before you take offense." He went to the door to greet Miles and Maribelle.
"Was that my only son who just ran past like his tail was on fire?" Miles asked, giving Jackie a hug.
"It sure was. He's had a bit of a day," Jackie replied. "Tender ego day," she murmured to Miles.
He nodded, taking his daughter from Jackie. The toddler cuddled up on her father's shoulder, nearly asleep. They bid good night and headed home. Brian wasn't there. Maribelle was worried until she got a call from Cynthia.
"Brian's here talking to Neil. He's pretty upset, so I thought I'd better let you know where he is."
"Is something wrong?" Maribelle asked.
"Nothing that not being seventeen won't fix."
Maribelle laughed. "Thanks for letting me know. I'll leave the lights on for him. We're turning in early."
"I'll tell him. Goodnight."
Neil offered Brian a beer. Normally, he wouldn't have, but he could see the same swirling red that David had seen. Brian was in turmoil, and he was worried about him. Brian declined the beer, but did take the herb tea that Cynthia gave him. She'd made her own blend, using things that would help him calm down. Once she'd served it, she went upstairs, leaving the men alone.
"So, talk," Neil said. "This is a judgment free zone." He settled back on the couch, relaxed and open.
Brian hunched over his cup, warming his hands. "Am I doing anything right? I told my best friend that I'd split up him and his girlfriend, if they don't work out their problems. How's that nice?"
Neil didn't reply. He sensed that Brian needed to vent. He let the boy speak.
"And she's really pissed! I've seen Marissa mad, but wow. And she's yelling at me instead of talking to Chase, which is what she needs to do. I'm not in that dysfunctional equation." He held up one hand, waving something away. "Then—then I meet this new guy at debate who's a complete tool!" He explained what happened with Jian in great detail.
"Sounds like you threatened his mojo," Neil said calmly. "Guys like that, they wanna show they're boss."
"I don't care if he's boss, that's the thing. I don't give a shit."
"See, with a kid like that, it's a matter of mileage."
Brian shook his head, waiting.
"Mileage," Neil said, dropping his hand to his zipper, extending it into the air in front of him.
"Oooh," Brian finally caught on. "Yeah. A dick swinging contest."
"Exactly. He wants to win, but you're a big guy. He figures, all things proportional, yours is bigger."
Brian laughed, shaking his head. "I'm sure that's metaphorical somehow."
Neil shook his head. "Nope. Pure and simple, who's got the bigger dick. He's probably used to being the alpha."
"That's what he called me."
"Well, kid, you are."
"Maybe in the Circle, not anywhere else. I'm not the star quarterback MVP. I'm just a smart kid who likes to debate."
"Who happens to have defeated evil a time or two. That sort of experience shows. People pick up on it. Doesn't matter how big you are, how smart, how strong or how big your schlong is, folks feel that energy. I've met a lot of guys like that—big and small. They've lived through hell and you can tell just by being near them."
"You've been through your own hell, Neil," Brian said quietly. "I would never mention it, but…."
"I brought it up. It's okay. I don't mind talking about it."
"I can't even imagine what you've seen. But it's in your eyes and written on your soul."

In 2006, EDO NSW represented Douglas and Susan Anderson, traditional owners of land at Angels Beach in East Ballina, in their challenge to the validity of a consent issued by the Director-General of the Department of Environment and Conservation which allowed the destruction of Aboriginal cultural heritage for a residential subdivision.
The Land and Environment Court ruled that the consent was invalid because the Director-General had failed to take into account a number of relevant matters in issuing the consent, including a supplementary report in relation to the heritage significance of the subdivision site.
The Court also found that the Director-General had failed to adequately apply the principles of ecologically sustainable development as required under the National Parks and Wildlife Act, particularly the principle of intergenerational equity.
We are grateful to barristers Tim Robertson SC and Louise Byrne for their assistance with this matter.

U2 Talk "Spider-Man" Musical's New Villain, Slacker Peter Parker
By Jonathan on August 21, 2009 9:01 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
Rolling Stone,
"We've got big tunes. We're very proud of it," U2's Bono says of the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical he co-wrote with the Edge. Despite reports that the cash-strapped Broadway show has shut down production, the duo spoke to the BBC about the Julie Taymor-directed musical dedicated to the legendary Marvel superhero, which currently is still planned to debut in February 2010. "Our Peter Parker is much more... not Kurt Cobain, but a kind of slacker, a more kind of shy sort of guy," Bono told the BBC about how his and the Edge's vision of the superhero will differ from the comic and recent films.
In a move that might unnerve Spider-Man diehards, Bono also revealed that he and the Edge created a new villainess for the musical. "We've got a new villain, it's a girl. It's a very extraordinary role. We've taken it to a much more dizzy place than you'd expect," the U2 frontman revealed. Bono also spoke glowingly about actress Evan Rachel Wood, who will play love interest Mary Jane Watson and with whom Bono co-starred with during his cameo in Taymor's Across the Universe. "She's the greatest actor of her generation, she's the one to watch," said Bono. "She happens to sing like a bird, it's like a true voice. She's a very pure spirit and a very bright mind and she brings the part of MJ to life really."
The Edge, meanwhile, said the singing in Turn Off the Dark is closer to an opera than the traditional Broadway musical. "It touches on opera, it touches on rock & roll. There are some real character-driven songs as well, very unusual song types for us," the Edge told the BBC. "It is much more like opera than a straight musical. We're actually not calling it a musical for that reason because we don't want to put people off." The Edge also said that all of Spider-Man's singing will be left to Peter Parker, as a guy in a full latex suit belting out show tunes would be pretty ridiculous.
As Rock Daily previously reported, many of the production crew has been let go from the contracts as the musical struggles with a cash-flow problem and escalating costs. Some reports have stated that in order for Turn Off the Dark to break even from a financial standpoint, it will have to sell out the theater for five consecutive years. Despite the financial woes, tickets for the February 2010 preview performances are now on sale at the Spider-Man on Broadway site to American Express cardholders, with February 25th still being touted as the musical's debut. (Tix are still available so swing over there.)
