The new congressional map in Illinois could cost the GOP as many as five House seats.
Illinois Republicans always knew this round of redistricting was going to be bad.
Both in Springfield and in Washington, the GOP reaction to the grim reality of the state's new congressional map is downright funereal, with some Republicans shaking their heads and marveling at the evil genius behind a gerrymander that could end up costing the GOP as many as five House seats.
Just seven months ago, Republicans were euphoric over the capture of four seats in a blue state dominated by Democrats for decades. Now, with the new map expected to be signed into law by Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, they're staring at the prospect of losing every one of them and more — a handful of promising freshmen and maybe even a veteran congressman, too.
While state lawmakers have completed or are nearing completion of congressional remaps in more than a half-dozen states this year, none has had the wide-ranging sweep of the Illinois blueprint — and no state going forward has the potential to inflict a similarly devastating map on the GOP.
According to the new plan, freshman Republicans Adam Kinzinger, Robert Dold and Bobby Schilling are all drawn into decidedly Democratic-oriented districts. Two other GOP first-termers — Joe Walsh and Randy Hultgren — would most likely have to compete for the same suburban Chicago seat. Veteran Rep. Tim Johnson, usually a shoo-in for reelection, is forced into a newly competitive district in the southern portion of the state.
Republicans acknowledge the map is something of a political masterstroke on the part of powerful Democratic state House Speaker Michael Madigan, with new lines appearing to seamlessly separate GOP-leaning voters in the Chicago suburbs while stretching Democratic Reps. Bobby Rush and Jesse Jackson Jr. into suburban Will County without seriously damaging their prospects.
Republicans in Washington had long been bracing for the worst. Democrats wield full control over the levers of redistricting in Illinois, and there was little reason for them to show mercy — particularly after a midterm election in which Republicans dislodged four Democratic incumbents. And since the GOP would be charged with drawing lines in many other key states ranging from North Carolina to Ohio, Democrats needed to make Illinois count if the party expected to make up for expected redistricting losses elsewhere.
"We expected they were going to do something like this," said Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady, who had been telling reporters in December that Democrats were going to ram through a painful plan.
Still, over the past several months, there was a growing sense in national GOP circles that the new Illinois blueprint would have at least some degree of parity, said one senior Republican official, who requested anonymity in order to discuss internal party deliberations.

Come explore the 300-square foot eco-friendly, energy efficient, and green living modular residence also known as the Mini-B Passive House. The home was built by 22 carpentry students at Seattle Central Community College/Wood Construction Center under the supervision of instructor Frank Mestemacher.
The Mini-B Passive House is a prototype small dwelling designed to conform to City of Seattle requirements for a "Backyard Cottage" as a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) on a single-family lot.
Representatives from Seattle Central's Wood Construction Center, Johnson Braund Design Group, Phinney Neighborhood Association and the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild will be available for interviews in advance or at the open house.
The home will be on display at the center for six months. During that time the Seattle chapter of the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild will be using the Mini-B to encourage building practices that promote super energy efficiency. After its six-month stay at the center the Mini-B will go on sale with more planned to be built and sold.
Students from the Business Information Technology program, under the supervision of instructor Robert Natoli, participated in the project by preparing a logo and media packet for the Mini-B Passive House project.
The Mini-B, designed by architect Joe Giampietro (Johnson Braund Design Group), has a kitchenette, three-quarters bath, living/dining room, bed loft, closet, equipment loft with storage, solar hot water collector, and vaulted ceiling. It is built to an energy conservation standard that uses approximately 15 percent of the heating energy used by similar houses built to current Washington State Energy Code requirements. Once the last inspection and test is completed, Mini-B will be certified as a "Passive House" by the Passive House Institute U.S.

One of the most interesting parts of the body to treat with Prolotherapy is the hip. The reason is that most people mistakenly call different parts of the body, the hip. The "hip" could be the back of the pelvis where the illiolumbar ligament attaches to the L4 and L5 vertebrae, The "hip" can also be the greater trochanteric bursa, where there is a lump on the side of the femur (the thigh bone). Or "the hip" may be the thick fascia that attaches the quadraceps muscle on the front of the thigh to the pelvis, The "hip" may actually be the hip joint or the ligaments that hold the hip in place in the pelvis (in the acetabulum).
Sometimes it is a herniated disc that can refer pain to the area of the hip, or a mixture of some, or all of the above, depending on the patient's condition. So, a very complete examination of all of these areas with my hands must be made to determine the hip pain source. I can't depend on an X-Ray or MRI to tell me where to do the Prolotherapy treatment.
Actual hip arthritis in the joint is no different in the way a Prolotherapist treats it than any other part of the body. Often, the hip pain is felt in the groin and there is limited range of motion of the femur. I typically use Prolotherapy injections in two areas.
The first- below the pelvis at its intersection with the upper limit of the pubic bone, and then laterally just above the greater trochanter. Patients will tell me that they have a little stiffness, and then feel better or pain free for a day or so in the beginning. Then, the days of "freedom from pain" usually increase till full healing is achieved.
The main goal is to avoid needless hip replacement or resurfacing. The side effects from hip replacement are often disastrous. There can be dislocation, short leg syndrome or infection. Prolotherapy is a great and less invasive alternative in which a patient walks out of my office and goes back to work.
A 61 year-old woman who came into our office with right hip pain that had plagued her since the age of 19 following a traumatic Sport injury . She said the pain was low grade for most of life, but in the past four years it began to get progressively worse.
I have been having pain in my right hip joint, and it gets worse when I walk a long distance or when I exercise, what can I do for that?
I have this bone-on-bone arthritic hip and I was wondering how you would treat that.
Dr. Zulkafperi MD.: What we do with people who have bone-on-bone arthritis in the hips is work on the supporting ligaments of the hip, there are some very large ligaments that support that big joint. Many times by stabilizing those ligaments the pain will go away.
We can do a diagnostic injection around the ligaments to see if that reduces your pain, if it does, then we know the Prolotherapy will help you.

Prison Negativity
Posted: April 27, 2014 by Ed Griffin in Prison, Reform
Tags: American prisons, Canadian Prisons, Corrections, Crime Schools, de-humanized, Education, Human Rights, inmates, justice system, negativity, parole, parole board, parole hearing, Prison, Prison Reform
During the time I taught in prison, about ten men asked me to be their citizen representative at their parole hearing. I did it because nobody else would, but I wasn't the right person. I didn't have access to the files that the parole board had. I didn't see the letters for and against an inmate.
What surprised me was how negative these hearings were. I never – repeat never – heard one positive thing about a man. And everyone I represented had tremendous talent. The parole hearing was not an adversarial discussion, like a trial. No one spoke for the inmate, except an uninformed citizen –me. The parole board members got a handsome per diem, the prison staff made a good salary. I didn't make anything. If a man's mother was in the audience, they might acknowledge her, but not give her a chance to speak.
One hearing stands out. My friend, call him Mike, asked me to speak for him. I'd worked a lot with Mike and I knew him well. I mentioned how he helped other inmates, he even stopped an attack on a neighbor. I told about his writing ability, about his plans for his release. He had everything going for him, family, friends, and the chaplain.
His social worker spoke up. "I do not recommend this man. The guards found a cell phone in his unit and I know he's back in the drug trade."
Mike spoke up. "The guards searched my unit in the prison and they found a cell phone in a sock. I just want to point out it wasn't even my sock."
Mike, of course, couldn't say that the cell phone belonged to his roommate, but everyone in the hearing knew that. The roommate was the kind of man who didn't own up to his own actions.
Another social worker came into the hearing. "I know this is unusual, but I must speak up about Mike. He is not in the drug trade. Yes, he did use the cell phone once to see how his buddy was doing in the hospital. But that's it. He's been clean and deserves parole."
I admired her courage and her willingness to speak out, but Mike lost. The real owner of the cell phone got out a month later and Mike spent a year and a half more in prison, with a cost to the taxpayer of around $50,000.
No one, except the second social worker, spoke out for Mike. Of course, I did, too, but I was easy for the parole board to ignore. The parole hearing was a negative fest, everything that was bad about Mike was said and nothing of the good.
I wondered if his prison records were anything like this – all negative. When Mike was getting out of prison, he gave me his thick file to look at. It was amazing. Negative from day one. It seemed that comments repeated themselves. If someone made a comment when Mike was 15, it came up again when he was 19. And there was no mention of his personality, of his willingness to help other guys, of his sense of humor and so on.
Prison specializes in negativity. It's time for reform.
Education is the Proven Way out of Crime
Tags: American prisons, bursary, Canadian Prisons, Corrections, de-humanized, Education, educational institutions, John Howard Society, parole, prison education, Rehabilitation, the way out of crime
Good news. The John Howard Society has granted three inmates portions of the Ed Griffin bursary. The money goes to educational institutions, not to the individuals.
One man is working toward a college degree. He has a long sentence for a serious crime, but prison officials, teachers and the chaplain all agree that he's a changed man.
Education is a big part of his plan for reform, but the prison system doesn't pay for any classes beyond grade twelve.
The second man wants to take his first university course. He's almost finished getting his Dogwood diploma (Highest high school diploma)
The third man is working toward a PhD in education. He's on parole now with another year to go before he's finished his sentence. Working toward a doctorate in any subject is a challenge in a prison setting or in a parole setting.
I'm very happy that something I did has helped these three men. Where I have failed is in raising money. I sort of know what has to be done, but I haven't done it. My job is to explain all this to the general public. To explain that education is the proven way out of crime. That the prison system only provides education up to and including grade twelve.
More than that, I have to put this in front of the public. We hear about heart problems, cancer, etc. etc. We're asked to help children in the third world. But how can I help people see that education is the way out of crime? I have to try harder, to be bolder than I am now.

The Visiting Room
Tags: access to washrooms, change room for infants, family visiting, Recreation Building, visiting inmates, visiting room, washroom
I received a letter from an inmate I know. He had this to say:
When visitors came to our prison, they found three washrooms that were provided for them. They could change a baby in one of them.
A few weeks ago we got a notice from the deputy warden:
"Access to the visitor washrooms which are located inside the Recreation Building will not long be available for use during Family Events. Any visitors requiring use of a washroom will be escorted to the Principle Entrance. Visitors with infant/toddler children will no long be permitted to change diapers of their children in the Recreation building. They will be escorted to the Principle Entrance. Visitors will be re-processed by the Principle Entrance Staff prior to being permitted back into the Gym area. "
So if a visitor wanted to use a washroom, they had to be escorted back to the principal entrance. After they were finished with the bathroom, they would be inspected again, their purse, their pockets etc. etc. For people with compromised bladders and for parents with a small baby who needs to be changed, these rules make a visit to see their inmate very difficult.
Family support is vital for an inmate. The prison system says they believe this and support it, but then they show by their actions that families are just a big pain.
All right, so somebody obviously broke a rule, perhaps brought in something illegal. Will every visitor from now on be punished for that infraction?
A small point – as a teacher of writing I would hold up the deputy warden's memo as an example of how NOT to write. There are at least a dozen mistakes.

He sat on a low bench and waited for me every Friday morning. A big man, the strong and silent type, he was doing a four year bit. The other inmates were inside the room, laughing and having a good time. But Jon sat quietly. Outside the room was outside the building, and it was often cold. But Jon sat there, smoking and thinking. I often asked him what he was thinking about, but he never answered me.
My school principal was putting together a book called Prison Voices. He interviewed men and women from across Canada, but he wanted some strong selections from his own area, Vancouver. He pleaded with me to get some creative writing from my class.
"Hey, Jon, how about giving me some stuff for the book?"
"Not me, Ed, I ain't no writer."
"I think you're playing with me, Jon. I know you can do it."
"No, not me."
"How about just a little something next week?"
"Okay, Ed. Just a little something."
This is what he turned in the next week. It's one of the strongest things I have ever read. It caused some consternation among the funding sources for the book, but the principal fought to keep it in the book. This is exactly the way he wrote it.
i'm through trying to emulate words
that have been coddled and sheltered from the world
by authors with silver egos and slicker tongues.
i want to swallow my pens and
vomit images upon the page;
to spank words
and send them red-bottomed from the room;
to forget the dry syntax,
the politically correct anal froth
that sounds more nazi than reform.
i want to abuse the english language
like finnigan's wake did the irish;
like gutter quebecois did the french
i want words that smell sweet
as a half-naked thirty-something
in the back seat of a buick regal;
words that are wet with fear
smuggled in sweat soaked blue-jeans
torn at the knees after a hard nights thieving
words that suffocate in their cellophane wrappers
given away free in the candy stores of amerika,
breeding rebellion and inspiring the masses
of illiterate beggars who march through city streets
looking for scraps of food under padlocked dumpsters;
i want seventy-five dollar pens that write seventeen cent poems,
to be thrown away when the ink has bled dry.
i want words that offend;
words that rape priests
and send cheers through crowds of frightened children.
i want words that question;
words that linger in the backs of throats
like half-dissolved aspirin.
words that will duel anything ever written
at any time,
by anyone
and won't even break a sweat.
i want words that run salivating tongues along warm panty lines
in the bedrooms of lovers entangled in wet sheets
strangled in skin and salty sweat;
that embrace lovers with indecision and guilt
as they make that horrifically long walk to the altar
or that longer stretch back home
to their waiting spouse's tapping foot
and wounded-dog cries
words that sound like cherry bombs
exploding in a pranksters hand;
like gas shells over hamilton,
i want to be the fallout in my own city,
my country and preferably washington, dc.
i want words that betray liars
while i lie paralysed on the beaches of france
or the deserts of morocco
crippled by scotch and heroin
cursing the sand
plagued by the piercing pitches of demons i've loosed
upon the eardrums of the world
i want to be the laugh in the poetics of robbins,
the innocence of lerner's switchblade;
bathe the black indifference of vonnegut jr
with a voice and insolence all my own…
i want my words to bleed grape jelly.
i want real emotion.
What do you think of this poem?
P.S. Watch for my most popular book, Once a Priest to be 99 cents next Sunday


Family businesses or professional practices can suffer dearly in divorces, unless the spouses and their lawyers negotiate carefully to consider the effect of property division plans on the fate of the family business. In most situations, each spouse will have a "marital interest" in the family business or professional practice. But that does not mean that the divorcing spouses will both continue to be owners of the business. After completing several levels of evaluation and analysis, your divorce attorney will propose different property division agreements that serve the unique needs of your family and your business. If you or your spouse owns a family business, don't finalize a divorce without an asset protection analysis by an experienced marital property division lawyer.
Our family law practice is led by a North Carolina Board Certified Family Law Specialist who also holds a master's degree in business administration and practical experience as a business owner. If you or your spouse owns a business or a professional practice, and you have questions about business valuation or the distribution of the value of a family business during a divorce, schedule a consultation by calling 336-790-0165 or 877-509-6616.
The resources necessary to conduct in-depth analysis of the various legal and commercial options in a divorce where a family business is at stake.
Who started the family business? Was the business in existence before the marriage began?
If the business existed when the marriage began, what was the value of the business at that time, and what is its value today? Did the non-owning spouse help run or grow the business? If so, the non-owning spouse may be entitled to a share of any increase in value?
Did the business, in fact, increase in value?
If the spouses started the business together, what is the value of the business today and what is the most equitable way for one spouse to be compensated for giving up ownership interest?
Must any of the following business agreements be rewritten to reflect any changes in ownership interests: purchase/sale agreements, partnership agreements, operating agreements or shareholder agreements?
Are any stock transactions necessary?
Family businesses are very important to the families that run them. The business may be important because it serves as one spouse's sole income source. Or, it may be valuable because it has been a family-owned business for several generations. At Greensboro Family Law, we take special care negotiating marital property settlement agreements when family businesses are at stake. We recognize the value these businesses have and how important it is that they continue to thrive after a divorce is finalized.
If you are contemplating divorce and your marital estate includes a family business or professional practice, seek early legal counsel. Take the time to think strategically about how to untangle ownership interests without doing unnecessary harm to the business.
To schedule a consultation with Rebecca Perry, call 336-790-0165 or toll free at 877-509-6616, or contact us online.

Today I try to solve the algorithm problem of codewars.

## Description

You probably know the "like" system from Facebook and other pages.
People can "like" blog posts, pictures or other items.
We want to create the text that should be displayed next to such an item.

## Examples

* likes {} -> "no one likes this"

* likes {"Peter"} -> "Peter likes this"

* likes {"Jacob", "Alex"} -> "Jacob and Alex like this"

* likes {"Max", "John", "Mark"} -> "Max, John and Mark like this"

* likes {"Alex", "Jacob", "Mark", "Max"} -> "Alex, Jacob and 2 others like this"

## Code

```java
class Solution {
    public static String whoLikesIt(String... names) {
            # Codewars COC 정책으로 인하여 코드 제거
    }
}
```


It was still raining, but not as hard as the day before so we decided to go Kennedy's Pet Farm, stopping first for sodas in Kilgarvan, of course. When I first started researching for the trip I ran across this place as a possible place to rent. They were booked the week we needed (for which I'm glad, I think the place we rented was much better) but I knew the girls would like the pet farm and so I promised them we would go. It was kid heaven. Bins of bunnies and guinea pigs and chickens and puppies just waiting to be picked up. Deer to pet and goats to handle and more puppies and kittens inside. Playground equipment and a huge sandbox inside and another playground outside along with non-functioning buses to play in. The girls had a blast, and we ran into the French couple and their child from Kinsale. We noticed off in the distance a picturesque ruin of maybe a tower house. That's what I like about Europe, everywhere there are interesting ruins to see, just on top of hills, not even noted in the guidebooks they're so common. After we played for a few hours and took a pony ride we headed into Killarney for lunch. We wound up at the Burger King just because it seemed like a good idea. Mark checked his email (Shadow recovering nicely) while I took the girls souvenir shopping. After that we went to the nearby Tesco that was a lot like a Target, where we bought groceries and laundry detergent and another couple of those magazines for kids that have the toys stuck on the front (we really need those here). As we were leaving the Tesco Genevieve turned to me and said "I really feel like I'm Irish". Cutie.


(CBS) - Do you remember back in July that epic mix of music Madeon came out with called "Pop Culture" that blended 39 songs together into one spectacular sound? Of course you do! Well, it's back in a spectacular new way with the help of dancer extraordinaire Nathan Barnatt. The amazing moves kick in at about 53 seconds into the video.
Wow. I mean, just, wow. How Barnatt does what he does is just beyond me, but there's no denying the man can really dance. And to top it all off there is even an appearance by Martin Starr from the gone-before-its-time show "Party Down" that made this blogger smile.
This video has definitely earned a triple-rainbow salute from all of here at The Feed! And if you'd like to check out more of the stylings of dance master Nathan Barnatt, you can go to his website by clicking here.

I'm Running To Stand Perfectly Still
By Katie Devine, May 2nd 2014

Last weekend I wondered if I might be slowly losing my mind.
I had flown home to New Jersey to attend my godson's third birthday party. I had carefully planned my outfit so that I would be able to join in a tree pose (his favorite) at his yoga party. I was so excited to give him the mini-monster trucks that I knew would cause his big blue eyes to light up and his smile to widen. I even scheduled a blowout so that my hair would look nice (because I was sure the three-year-olds would notice).
As I sat in the salon chair with dripping wet hair on Saturday afternoon, my best friend texted to ask if I was ok, and was I still coming to her son's party? Because his party, the one I had so eagerly anticipated, was actually nearly over, and was not on Sunday as I had written down in my calendar.
I missed the whole thing, from an hour away, under a hairdryer in what now felt like the most ridiculous blowout ever.
I started crying while the blow dryer hummed and whirred around my head. Even with the facts right in front of me, I couldn't believe I had screwed this up. I re-checked the invite, hoping it would tell me something different. I even asked my mom to help make sense of it for me. I texted a friend to explain what happened, and she wrote back, "that's not like you."
I wanted to insist, "you're right! It's not like me!" And I wanted to just let it go, to chalk it up as one scheduling mishap, maybe laugh about it in the story I would later tell (can you believe I did that? Haha!), and go on with my day. But instead I flashed to all of the ways in which this was exactly like me, the me who now does things like this frequently.
Going to the wrong location for yoga
Forgetting a friend's birthday
Receiving a call from the dentist confirming my appointment the next day, an appointment I had not written down and could not remember making
Booking a vacation rental for the wrong dates
Buying two plane tickets to the same destination—both for myself, both for the same dates
Getting off at the wrong freeway exit—twice—on my way to the office I have worked at for four years
Tallied up, it was staggering to me. I could not recognize this person masquerading around as me. Where was the Type A Katie who lived by her perfectly organized calendar? I felt like putting a picture of myself, the me who didn't didn't do things like book the same plane ticket twice or get off at the wrong exit, on a milk carton with the slogan, "Have you seen this woman lately?"
This wasn't one instance of calendar mishandling.
How do you know when it's just a side effect of stress, or over scheduling, and not something more?
I wanted to write something perfect.
I hadn't published anything new in four months, because I hadn't really written anything in four months. Frankly, I hadn't wanted to. The writing is hard; sitting in your feelings so that you can write about them is even harder. And things felt hard enough without examining them, so I just stopped.
I went to brunch with a friend who told me that running is her savior lately, the endorphins essential to her wellbeing during a chaotic time. I understood the chaos: a brain whose whirling thoughts I was unable to control, circumstances constantly changing around me that I could not control, people around me whose actions and reactions I could not control.
I wondered if she was really running for the endorphins, or if she was running in an attempt to outsmart her own brain. Breathe, breathe, left, right, left, right, stay on pace, control. All focus on the body, the thunder of feet pounding to drown out the internal chatter. I got that. I didn't want to hear the noise echoing around in my head either.
I gave up on writing, and reading, and yoga, exchanged them for episodes of Teen Mom and Snickerdoodle cookies the size of my open hand. I have very big hands. I sat on my couch, eating cookies and observing my jeans growing tighter, while teenagers on the television argued and screamed at each other and cried. Chew, chew, chew, fast forward through commercials.
The last thing I wanted to do was think. So I didn't. A murkiness settled over me like a haze, and even the tv grew foggy, like I suddenly needed glasses to make everything appear clear again.
There were moments of reprieve, from both the numbness of not thinking and the constantly scampering thoughts, just enough for me to think that maybe I was still normal. A rarely attended yoga class where I felt connected to my body. A book I could concentrate on, whose words penetrated through the haze surrounding me. A party where I could actually hear what people were saying, instead of their voices being muffled by the frequently whispered loop of don't eat that cheese, you are too fat. A morning where I woke up feeling rested.
But I wonder: why are these only choices I see? Sitting on the couch, not writing, stuffing my face and watching teenagers fight, or being tortured by my own mind. Why aren't there more moments of calm, of grace, of beauty? What caused me to arrive to this place where I don't do the things I love and I know I'm not doing them, but it's not enough to compel me into doing them again? Why did I feel like a stranger in my own life, as if watching from above and thinking, who is that girl in the tight jeans on the grey couch, sitting in front of the tv again, and why doesn't she just do something different?
My home. My living room. My grey wraparound couch; at once familiar and foreign.
How could I know exactly where I was, and still feel lost?
It's stress, I think. I don't want to allow for the possibility that it's something more, some genetic mistake that was passed down and is waiting to take hold of me. I tell my mother, when she voices the same concerns, that it's just a symptom of doing too many things at once. I tell myself this now.
I'm not a runner. It always feels like torture to me. I'm not going to outrun anything. I can't stare blindly at a screen anymore either. I turn the tv off, and I listen. I wait for what will come.
I still don't really want to write. I know it's not going to be perfect. It's never going to be perfect. I don't know if I can live with that.
The racing in my head continues on, unencumbered by fog for the moment. I have a headache, but maybe it's just that the muscles are sore from all of the running they are doing. My brain is on a treadmill, logging mile after mile, loop after loop, slowing down when trudging up inclines, losing control and flailing on the downward slopes, but never really going anywhere. Just like a body running on a treadmill. But my body is still. Mind racing. Body still.
It will never be perfect. I will never be perfect.
And this is where the writing begins.

The Difficult (and Satisfying) Run of Teaching Defiant Students
By Teacher-Leader Contributor from the National Network of State Teachers of the Year on September 26, 2016 12:52 PM
By Allison Riddle
My dad and I share an insane joy of running.
The best advice he ever gave me had to do with the hardest runs. He taught me that when a run feels the most challenging, I am probably making the most progress. "After an especially difficult run," he said, "notice how much stronger you feel on the next run. Your discomfort is gone, your speed is back, and you are ready to tackle whatever the road offers you."
Working with defiant students can be a difficult run. Not every day is hard, but some can be incredibly rough. I struggle to remain consistent, calm and confident when a student escalates the defiant behavior and tests me in front of other students. By the end of the day, I sometimes feel worn out and discouraged. But the following days often do run smoother, somehow. Maybe the student has learned I will follow through, or maybe I carry myself with greater confidence for having made it through the struggle. By midyear, my 'runs' with a student often diminish and I notice we are beginning to build a trusting relationship.
In a strange way, my most challenging students become my favorites. Perhaps not at the moments they push back--but over time I have realized that my hardest students have made me a stronger, more effective teacher.
A few years ago I had that student, the one who tested my limits and made me better. Fifth graders, generally excited about school, usually begin the year with wide, curious eyes and a yearning to learn something new. But this young lady, who I will call Stephanie, walked in carrying some very heavy baggage and a serious attitude problem. She and I made it through a very difficult year, sometimes feeling like we were tested in the fire. Over the year her behavior did improve, though at times it seemed like I handed out consequences to Stephanie as if they were Skittles. I was so surprised when she showed up to the last day of school, walking into our room with a huge smile and an attitude of gratitude. "Mrs. Riddle, my mom said I didn't have to come to school today because report cards are done," Stephanie said. "But I told her I wanted to come . . . because you like me."
Because I like her. Students usually tell me how much they like me... but this girl came on the last day because I liked her.

There are dozens of books and theories about working with students who struggle behaviorally. While I appreciate many of the methods, I am convinced that in the end, it's about the effort we make to build a trusting relationship even when it is difficult. Every day I showed Stephanie that I accepted her, while at the same time expressing that she must follow the expectations of our class. My dad might say that Stephanie and I made progress running our marathon by focusing on the hard, short runs
Here are a few other 'training tips' I learned during my most difficult runs:
Be consistent. Students who are emotionally fragile benefit greatly from being able to trust that the teacher will respond consistently to not just him or her, but to every student's behavioral choices during class.
Give space to students who are emotionally escalated. Teachers are so time-conscious, and we want to solve problems quickly in the limited amount of time we have with our students. But when an adult tries to force an escalated child to comply, the situation usually worsens. Giving the student ample time to breathe and calm down will ultimately result in greater gains.
Model respect. Although a punitive consequence may seem a logical move to most educators, it often sends a message that those with the most power can have their way. Harsh punishments rarely expose the cause of the behavior and lead students to making more appropriate choices. By speaking in a respectful, low tone, and offering reasonable consequences directly related to the student's misbehavior, a teacher can gain trust, allow the student to maintain dignity
in front of classmates, and hopefully encourage the student to reflect on their choices.
Express your hope for the student. Deep down, every teacher wants each student to be successful both academically and socially. Expressing this hope to both the child and his/her parents brings everyone in on the same 'team', and allows a smoother baton pass during those difficult runs.
Students with behavior and emotional difficulties desperately want teachers to be the adults in their lives that help them make it to the next mile marker. Let's do this by reflecting on our hardest runs and building the stamina needed to work with our most challenging students as we show them with our behavior, "I like you, I believe in your abilities, and I am so glad you came to school today."

Home ♃ Recent Stories ☄ Ramsay HS Alum, DeJuana Thompson, Shines as Global Political Strategist
Ramsay HS Alum, DeJuana Thompson, Shines as Global Political Strategist
By Ariel Worthy
At age 35, DeJuana Thompson has done enough to last a lifetime. And she's just beginning.
Thompson is partner with ThinkRubix – a thought equity firm based in Washington DC that specializes in engagement strategy and policymaking – and founder of Woke Vote, which engages, mobilizes and organizes millennials, students and church-going activists to participate in the electoral process.
On Wednesday evening the Birmingham chapter of Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) recognized Thompson for her work in the recent Alabama special election for U.S. Senate.
The Ramsay High School alum is a political veteran. She has worked campaigns the past 15 years in 36 states; was African American Vote Director in Florida during President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign and worked his 2008 campaigns in North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
She also worked for Senator Cory Booker in New Jersey in 2013 and traveled to Ghana for a work during a presidential election and Trinidad for a prime minister race.
"I've had the opportunity to engage people of color all over this country and in other countries," she said. "But I've also gotten an opportunity to engage with non-people of color who share the same values."
Thompson, a Berea College graduate who majored in Interpersonal Communications and Black Studies., began locally in former Birmingham City Councilwoman Carole Smitherman's office and is now pursuing master's degree in political management from George Washington University.
'Honored And Humbled'
Being honored and recognized by the SCLC is surreal, Thompson said.
"I've been blessed to have won awards and I'm always like, 'me?' There are so many other people out here,'" she said. "I'm so honored and humbled, but now I'm like 'okay, now I've got to really go hard.' They gave me a Keeper of the Dream Award, now I've got to keep the dream alive.'"
In the months leading up to the December Special Election, Thompson was all over the state. Woke Vote officially launched last year to raise awareness across the black community including churches.
Her group campaigned, not for a specific candidate, but to get black millennials out to the polls.
"We didn't put Doug Jones name on anything, we didn't put Roy Moore's name on anything," she said. "This was about [black voters'] power, their ability to show up and impact something."
"We were able to mobilize a little over 100,000 people of color" for the special election, she said.
Woke Vote is more about building black independent power than it is about getting a specific person elected, she said.
"We're showing people that their voice, their activism, their understanding of how their communities work and how they should work, is really what's important," she said. "You've got to build that power and sustain that power for the things we can do for our own communities."
Thompson said Woke Vote was not founded as a result of the Alabama Senate race. It began the day former Alabama senator Jeff Sessions was appointed U.S. Attorney General, she said.
"I was sitting in D.C. and I thought to myself, 'oh my God, we have the opportunity'– that was super early," she said. "I was asking 'who do we have in Alabama that can fill the Senate seat?'"
'Make It Happen'
It was the first time in over 20 years there was a chance for a Democrat to regain the Senate seat, she said.
"You don't let an opportunity like this go by," she said. "Some fights are hard and meant to be fought."
After Doug Jones won his primary, she took her idea to people like Birmingham Councilmember Sheila Tyson, neighborhood presidents, pastors and students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
"Black people could be influential to make it happen," she said. "If we increase our vote, we can be influential and make some changes in these places."
Funding was also going to be crucial and after talking with donors, the group was able raise $4 million for get out the vote efforts.
Woke Vote garnered support from locals and celebrities. 95.7 Jamz Radio personality Dana "Lady Woo" Woodruff was an ambassador, as well as local clergy. Thompson's father, Don, is assistant pastor at More Than Conquerors Church. Christian rapper Lecrae and R&B singer Tamar Braxton were also ambassadors. Congressman John Lewis also did a video for Woke Vote.
To this day, "we haven't stopped working," Thompson said. "We've done something every month since then and we'll continue to do something."
This month Woke Vote will begin a fellowship program. The application process begins April 15 and the program will run for eight weeks. Fellows will learn everything how to have one-on-ones, engage with institutions, canvass and conduct phone banks.
"It's also how to do fundraising, putting together a plan," she said. "It's how to be an online activist for real and not just Facebook posting. We're also going to do hands on projects."
Fellows will visit two different states and help impact issues. One is to Florida for a rights restoration and another is to Georgia to help engage black women leadership.
Thompson is proud of what the newly formed group has been able to accomplish in the recent Senate race and especially in her home state of Alabama.
"Don't forget we're the state of Rosa Parks, we're the state of Fred Shuttlesworth, we're bus boycotts, we've got this," Thompson said. "We've got this in a more genuine way than people think. People are tired of the foolishness."
Updated at 10:45 a.m. on 4/5/2018 to correct where Thompson got her political start.

Q: How would one capture and upload a video from WP8 to OneDrive? So I have been working with the Live SDK for a few weeks. I've gotten an Android version of what I want done and I'm working on a Windows Phone 8 version. Basically, the goal is to create an app that can record a video and then upload that video to OneDrive. I am able to upload pictures to OneDrive currently on the app. However I have hit many walls when it comes to video. Firstly, apparently WP8 doesn't allow access to video files recorded. Secondly, I cannot find how to use the native camera for video recording and storing it where I can access it.
So really my question is how can I accomplish this on WP8? or is it even possible? Ideally I'd like to use the native camera and not write my own but if I have to I will.

A: If I remember correctly from my experience while working with Live SDK it does not matter what kind of files you are uploading.
As for video recording. You will have to create your own recorder and store those videos in your app's folder.

Rob Ford Launches Reelection Campaign
By CJujitsu April 18, 2014 politics
Rob Ford has become so famous or infamous in these United States that more people think of him when hearing the name Ford than the 38th President, Gerald Ford. In what can only be described as a longshot, the egotistical Ford has indeed launched his bid for reelection as Mayor of Toronto.
In announcing his bid for reelection, Ford said, "No matter what challenges lay ahead, no matter what mud is thrown at me, my message couldn't be clearer: I won't back down." He continued, "The people of Toronto deserve nothing less than accessibility, accountability and transparency and I know I'm the right person for the next four years to continue doing the right job at the right time." Is he on drugs?! It's almost unbelievable, unfathomable, to believe that a man, who admitted taking drugs while Mayor and who has been stripped of many of his powers, would even consider running. But I suspect the very thing that makes Ford such a lunatic is the same affliction that would allow him to even consider running for reelection.
Ford not only was an embarrassment to himself and his family but the entire country of Canada. In fact the only people who like Ford are the late night talk show hosts who found endless material in his ongoing escapades. Ford should have received a paycheck from all of the networks. If the people of Toronto reelect him it will say something very unfortunate about society; that we have lost all sense of standards and decency. Clearly Ford is not fit to be Mayor or dog walker for that matter. If by some miracle or act of stupidity, he is reelected it will be the clearest case of "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." It's time for the good people of Toronto to end the shameful political career of Rob Ford.

The Mental Aspect of Being Stuck in the Legal System - Tanner & Romary, P.A.
 There is good reason many people hate lawyers. Opinions you hear about lawyers from friends and media result from their personal experience with a lawyer or having been thrust into the legal system usually against their own choosing. Lawyer jokes aren't prevalent because people hate lawyers who they think make too much money. Many lawyers are the same as you, struggling to pay student loans, keep their offices open, hold on to their jobs or advance, or just flat out just having a hard time financially. The jokes and negativity come from how lawyers handle themselves when dealing with their clients and others, not because they are successful. Success achieved through honesty and hard work should never be ridiculed or destroyed because of any form of jealousy or a sense of entitlement. However when success is achieved through deceptive or non caring means, such behavior can be fodder for such things as lawyer jokes.
As with any profession, there are good and bad people in it. If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in the legal system whether it be in the criminal, family, or personal injury arena, the lawyers you deal with and who represent you or protect your interests will have an effect on you mentally whether you realize it or not. Our mental health is key to our physical well being so this is a matter not to be taken lightly by those who choose to become lawyers or work in the legal system. One reason I love my job is while I cannot change what happened to a person I represent, how I handle their case or situation will affect their mental health. If I do a good job, while I can't change their injury or circumstance, their mental health will not suffer while going through what is likely a system that lacks justice or fairness. My best work has often been with people who suffer in serious situations, cant seem to catch a break as we go through the process, but who at the very end were the first ones to say thank you for being there and explaining things honestly. This is a positive result mentally for the person for whatever reason and it makes them come out of their situation much better than they would have had I not have done what many lawyers fail to do often without even thinking about it. As with the family lawyer who cant make your ex spouse love you or return all the money they stole as they walked out the door, or the criminal lawyer who represents someone who is innocent or overcharged, if we do things right as lawyers, a bad experience can be managed with a reduction in stress relative to the persons situation.
While I have fortunately spent most of life helping and providing for others and being the strong person you can count on for support, I have personally been on the end of the legal system that my clients are in when they come to me. This includes being a victim of a crime, divorce, bitter child custody battles, the death of a loved one in a car accident, and many other things that have brought me into the legal system where I was not the lawyer but instead the client or perceived victim. I don't mention this to talk about myself and what was done wrong to me, but to make my clients and those of you out there who are looking for legal representation now or maybe in the future to first ask themselves certain things before choosing a lawyer and deciding if through the course of a representation for your particular case whether that lawyer is or can be the right one for you. This is more important than you think and something I ask all people to think through as they consider our firm for legal representation. The client needs to match with the lawyer and vise versa or the mental health of the client can be harmed which too often hurts the result.
A lawyer has to be a counselor whether they want to or not. A lawyer who says he or she isn't you're your shrink is flat out wrong. That does not mean they are there for regular sessions and on speed dial to talk daily about your issues, but it does mean they need to be available timely and talk to you in a way that makes you feel better than you did before you talked. You don't need a degree in counseling to do this for a client. Your character, ability to show real compassion, and your legal and life experience are much more valuable to a client. Most lawyers don't have it because they want to do as little as possible for the most amount of money or are so beat down from doing the same job and seeing the same situation day after day for years that they don't realize or flat out don't care that each client's case is an individual one with its own unique issues. Those that aren't like that and are real people, when combined with their legal knowledge, make being a lawyer one of the most admirable professions on the planet. Aspiring to be this type of lawyer is why I became one and my hope that my clients belief that I am that type of lawyer keeps me getting up and going to work with as much passion now as I did when I first started practicing 20 years ago.
I have found that being honest and direct with clients help them mentally to deal with the legal situation while providing clarity to allow it to resolve with the least expense and in the most efficient manner possible. A lawyer that wont timely return your call or email, gives you answers that make you worry more than when you did before you began the conversation, and seems to have no compassion for you, will affect your mental health and cause the situation you are in to be worse than it is and needs to be. Not every lawyer is capable of this and while it does not mean they are not understanding of the law and can be your advocate on some level, the very best lawyers can do all of this and do it well so the client walks away at the end impressed and proud to know that lawyer.
For those of you who have been through the system, ask yourself how your lawyers handling of your matter affected you mentally. I am guessing if the lawyer was a teammate and a supporter who gave you timely responses and honest interaction, even if the result was still tough to deal with, you were as strong mentally as you could be throughout the process. If the lawyer was distant, non caring, and not someone who you felt comfortable talking to, in most situations you were harmed mentally by your lawyer beyond what you were dealing with legally. If your lawyers actions create added stress then something was wrong. For those of you who have been through the system I am guessing you relate perfectly to what I am saying even if you haven't thought about it previously. It's like a personal relationship as you know when things are just right.
Being a lawyer and representing people in legal matters is no joke and one to be taken seriously. Our staff understands the mental aspect of the legal system and how it affects our clients. If you are in the need of a lawyer or thinking of referring a friend to one, ask yourself how you did mentally with your lawyer and look beyond their legal credentials. While it may look great or seem important that a lawyer went to a certain school, was nominated or given awards or ratings by his peers who often have no real idea how that lawyer relates to people on a day to day basis, it's just as important to know how that lawyers clients felt mentally while interacting with this lawyer. Get these answers from those you talk to before making that call to get representation. If you are with the right lawyer, you will end up feeling strong and ready to battle the evil and injustice that exists in this world because you will find the mental strength you didn't think you had to do what you need to do to see the process through. Even the mentally strongest people suffer when they are represented by the wrong lawyer. A lawyer who can bring strength out of people and get a result are those that should be at the top of everyone's list when you find yourself, through often no choice of your own, in a legal system that is getting less and less friendly every day.
