Slater and Gordon lifts reporting
Slater and Gordon has acknowledged that having to revise its accounts for the past two financial years has undermined confidence in the law firm and says it has now bolstered the robustness of its reporting.
The world's first publicly listed law firm in September revealed a range of adjustments and corrections to its financial results for the 2014/15 and 2013/14 financial years, adding $1.4 million to the $82.3 million net profit it reported for 2014/15 and trimming net profit for the previous year by $9.6 million.
While none of the changes reflect any change in the previously reported trading performance of the company, I acknowledge these errors undermine confidence in Slater and Gordon, chairman John Skippen told the company's annual general meeting in Sydney on Friday.
Not to put too fine a point on it, these errors should not have occurred. We are bolstering our internal and external resources to assure the robustness of reporting.
EY has been appointed the company's statutory auditors subject to ASIC's consent to the resignation of previous auditors Pitcher Partners and ratification by shareholders at the next AGM.

LIVE REVIEW: DEPECHE MODE, WALDBUHNE, BERLIN, 23 JULY 2018
Throughout this project I've not asked anyone to review a specific gig as I didn't want to put pressure on people or ruin the show for them by making them feel they had to take notes etc. I made an exception to that rule however for this show as I really wanted Kevin May to review it. Not only are his reviews always excellent (this is his third for this blog) but, as Kevin wrote the second review of this thing for the Amsterdam show, him covering this show would given the whole project a nice shape. I asked and much to my delight Kevin said yes. Here's his review then and I know you'll love it. Thank you very much Kevin for the review, the pictures and for saying yes.
Picture courtesy of Depeche Mode Classic Photos & Videos Facebook Group
This review, perhaps rather cheekily, is written with the benefit of having a few days to both absorb the gig and knowing what took place at the final show in Berlin two days later (thanks, David, for the breathing space).
It makes sense, in a way, to have waited - so much emphasis has been placed on these last two dates as some kind of overall event on the tour, so neither can be taken in isolation.
This, therefore, is a review of the first show, with a nod towards the Wednesday night extravaganza, written by David.
Observers of the Global Spirit Tour specifically and Depeche Mode's career generally will know that the closing months, weeks and days of a tour is a combination of excitement and concerns.
Excitement because it's the last time that thousands of fans will get to see the band and, equally, concerns because it's the last time that thousands of fans will get to these the band. See what I did there...
The four-year period of mourning that comes with such an occurrence is only heightened with each album and tour, as the band get older and creep up, ever to closer, to their sixties.
This time it's more acute: the length of the tour, the celebratory nature of many of the shows, even the recent change in Dave Gahan's farewell at the end of each gig - elements that have conspired to give many fans the idea that this is finally it. Or at least there is going to be a change to four-year cycle.
It's with all that conjecture in mind that I head to Berlin, unable to see both shows due to work and family commitments but with a sense of relief that I have a ticket for the first night.
Interestingly, despite the downbeat speculation littering the forums and fan pages over the last few months, there is no sense of foreboding in the air in Berlin.
On the contrary, in fact - perhaps a sign that the introduction and widespread use of social media has often only served to amplify the noise that surrounds a band of Depeche Mode's size.
There are, in other words, thousands of fans who simply love going to see their band and have little time for the speculation.
Such a lack of doom and gloom is very welcome, feeling slightly worried before flying out that fans may treat the two nights as some kind of sad goodbye, rather than a party to commemorate a 38-year career.
(c) Kevin May
Indeed, there is a particular feeling in the air throughout the time that I am in Berlin.
The day before the show, Sunday, for example, after wandering through the Tiergarten and listening to the extraordinary and massive Carillon tower (it has 68 bells, each connected to a keyboard some 42 metres feet high), a man and his partner stand beside me, decked in Depeche t-shirts.
I hear the man say: "I reckon Martin would love a go on that!" – they both chuckle to one another, see me smile, too, and then nod knowingly and say: "Enjoy the gigs!".
Other moments include seeing a family, with fairly young children, all clad in black, climbing out of a van with Depeche flags and other paraphernalia on it. They're all laughing and jostling around, messing about, on the morning of the gig, clearly excited about what lay ahead.
The vibe is everywhere – let's have a (black) celebration, not a funeral.
The word on the street is that "free seating" ticket holders (i.e. general entry) have a good chance of getting into the first block behind the standing area if they 1) arrive early, as there are only a limited number allowed in, and 2) head for a specific entrance gate.
With warm wine and beer (it's a sweltering mid-afternoon) in bags, we head to the venue and find ourselves in a queue with several hundred other fans. We're in the heart of the so-called Black Swarm.
Strangely enough, this brief period of waiting is when the mood turns slightly low-key – the chants that were springing up as happy fans arrived from the various u-bahn and s-bahn stations have now stopped.
It's not a stony silence – just a contemplative and more hushed tone in the conversations between friends and loved ones.
Once the gates open, the high spirits and high jinks return. The chanting resumes, the venue fills extremely quickly and early (it's still only 5.30pm), the party atmosphere returns.
I have probably not experienced the energy from a crowd as those filling the steep sides of the Waldbuhne since the Royal Albert Hall in 2010 or the Crystal Palace gig of 1993.
It's an extraordinary, perhaps slightly unworldly, feeling to be a part of it – something that the naysers will snort at but deep down will know that there are very few moments when a collection of people can create such an uplifting environment.
And this is two hours before show time.
DAF, the support act, do a solid job in the early-evening dusk but I would suspect many members of the audience would be hard pressed to see the German band's presence as no more than mildly tasty hors d'oeuvres ahead of the main course.
It's a shame, but probably to be expected.
There are a few factors about the night that will ensure anyone who attended the gig (or Wednesday's climax) will remember it for a long time.
But it's not the set-list. All but two of the songs – Strangelove and A Question Of Time – were played at the first show that I saw, in Amsterdam, in May 2017.
It's not particularly the interactions onstage (they still outwardly appear to be enjoying themselves and one another a lot, 15 months in), or the always strong connection between the band – in particular, Dave - and the crowd.
Nor is it the near-perfect delivery of the material (apart from Dave's slip-up on the opener, Going Backwards), in part probably knowing that Anton Corbijn and crew are in town to shoot the final two gigs.
Instead, consider elements such as the Waldbuhne location - it's extraordinary, and should be a template for outdoor venues across Europe, rather than often lifeless stadiums and arenas that change their brand name every few years.
Also, consider the energy of the crowd – creating enough goodwill and, dare I say it, love and adoration for their band, to ensure the intensity only increases as each song comes and goes.
This isn't the festival crowds of the previous month or so – this is a crowd that cheers the start of each song with the same gusto as the previous one, rather than waiting for recognisable tracks. It must be a relief, somewhat, to be back in front of a "home crowd".
Finally, consider that the party atmosphere that has been building for days and in the hours ahead of the show's start has continued.
It's almost as if the crowd suspects that this may be their last chance to experience the thrill of a Depeche Mode show, so they demand the highest standards of themselves in terms for providing an atmosphere that will then be felt by the band.
Some (myself included) have lamented the inclusion of I Feel You since, well, 1993 – yet tonight, for some reason, it doesn't annoy me so much, if at all.
We forgive the boys on this one occasion.
The crowd welcomes back the wonderfully seedy Corrupt, also the best live version of Wrong that the band have ever created.
Cover Me has become one of the strongest moments in a set for any new song in the last 20 years, and even the criminally bare version of Strangelove seems to work.
Still, one aspect of the Depeche Mode live experience that often gets overlooked is how sometimes the predictability works in a show's favour.
For example, at end of Home, the entire crowd know when to sing unaccompanied (unlike in New York City a few weeks back) but they also know that this is the moment that it's likely that Dave will lead a rendition of "Happy Birthday" in the direction of the 57-year-old, Martin Gore. It starts in a section of the crowd in front of me before Dave even comes on-stage. These fans know what to do.
It's the familiarity with knowing that certain moves, lyrics, crowd chants, expressions, etc, are what make people feel good about themselves, which is therefore at the heart of the Depeche Mode experience.
There is a collective jump in the crowd when the first thumping bars of World In My Eyes strike out, followed later in the song by the finger silhouettes of spectacles.
The audience knows the exact moment when to carry on the final refrains of Everything Counts, or start the wheat field arm-waving display during Never Let Me Down Again (it is particularly jaw-dropping in a bowl-like venue like the Waldbuhne).
These aren't guilty pleasures, nor are they things to be scoffed at – there's something to be said for thousands of people simply enjoying themselves, letting go and absorbing the energy that an experience can create.
As Personal Jesus comes to a close, and the now continually cryptic "we'll see you some other time" rings out, there is no obvious sadness still that this could be one of the band's last ever shows.
There is a group of four people, two rows in front of me, hugging and crying – not through sorrow but I can hear them saying (they are British) what an amazing time they've had.
The crowd moves up to the top of the Waldbuhne, and many people look back down towards the bottom of the bowl, perhaps their own moment of reflection that it may be a last glimpse of a Depeche Mode stage.
But then, as the audience drifts away to the various public transport areas, pockets of chants are heard everywhere – Home, Enjoy The Silence and, perhaps most beautifully, a gentle but long recital of the closing backing vocal of Waiting For The Night.
Sometimes, words are very unnecessary...
This is what Depeche Mode do/did to people. I guess we'll find out how to end that sentence some other time.
It was somewhat (perhaps unintentionally) poetic that David asked me to review the penultimate show of the tour, with the blogmeister himself taking on the final gig – he started the ball rolling on this mammoth project at the opener in Stockholm, and then I penned the review of the second show in Amsterdam. Our respective reviews have book-ended the entire project!
As someone who has edited newspapers, magazines and now online publications, I know about the tireless work that goes on behind the scenes to produce a body of work that readers will find valuable and enjoy reading.
It goes without saying that without his unbounded enthusiasm for the project and passion for Depeche Mode, this series of reviews of EVERY SINGLE SHOW on the tour (just let that sink in for a moment) would have never happened.
He's edited every piece, been unfailingly polite with everyone who has contributed, and I'm sure has had a few hair-raising, frustrating and exhausting moments along the way. That's what happens when you take on a project of this size.
I am thrilled and honoured to have been involved with it.
As this was the last review written by one of his contributors, I would like to – if my comrades will allow it – thank David on behalf of us all, for organising, hosting and connecting us, and for being an all-round top fella.
Cheers. Kev and the Gang
Thank you Kevin

Another great review, I have read them all, all the way through, but might just keep the last one for a rainy day... X
Superb review, Kevin. After seeing them in the Olympic Park in London a year ago, ( first time since 19 Feb 1982 at Leeds Uni) , I booked to see them at the Isle of Wight Festival a few weeks ago.. Again, excellent performance but very different atomosphere from being surrounded by the roar of a crowd who are there purely for Depeche Mode.
This made me tear up a bit, wonderful memory, even for someone who was "there" via laptop... :D

One of the most widely used programs in the world for visualizing and analyzing data is Microsoft Excel. This software is used in almost every industry, not to mention for personal use in households around the world. Small business owners rely on Excel to track hours, finances, and invoices, and large corporations rely on Excel for data analysis, to visualize data, and innumerable other tasks.
There is no time limit or deadline to complete the courses. You can access these courses from any mobile device, including tablets, computers, and mobiles, as long as you have access to the internet.
Since the lessons in this course are only a few minutes each, it makes it very convenient to stop and start when necessary. This helps to study when you have time, even if you have less than 10 minutes or 15 minutes.
The second half of the beginner's Excel overview, which is only a small part of the beginner course, will cover sheets, which is an entirely different concept than cells. In this section, you will learn how to rename a sheet, delete a sheet, hide and unhide a sheet, and move and copy a sheet. You will also learn how to change the color of tabs.
After mastering the beginner's overview, the rest of the beginner course will go further into these concepts, and then teach details on how to perform basic functions.
Each video in the course shows where one can learn more about the concept covered in the course, as well as the difficulty level of the concept. There is also a full explanation of the concept and the instructor of the course visually takes students through each concept step by step on the screen.
The MS Excel Intermediate Course will take what you learned in the beginner course and expand upon it. Additionally, this course will teach you more advanced concepts than those that were presented in the beginner course.
Like the beginner course, the intermediate course is set up into short modules, and you can watch the module videos on any device that can connect to the internet. The curriculum in the intermediate course is designed for those who work with Excel in the workplace, and it is primarily for those who want to improve their skills with this program. There is a lot of useful information found in this course, and these skills are necessary for anyone who is going into investments, banking, or consulting, and will also be useful for administrators or for those who track or analyze a lot of data. If you are someone who is new to the workforce, you, too, will find that employers are looking for candidates with at least intermediate Excel skills.
The first several modules of the intermediate Excel course teaches students how to use formulas, including HLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, COUNTIF, and ABS. Data validation information follows this, and students work through several modules, each of which are focused on a type of data validation, such as date, list, and time. The course continues with more information on specific formulas, which include CHAR, CODE, MEDIAN, MODE, and ROUND. Additional information is given on how to manipulate these formulas to meet your needs as an Excel user.
The MS Excel Advanced Course is the longest and the most intense of the three Excel courses presented here. However, if you have successfully passed the beginner and the intermediate courses, you should consider yourself fully prepared to begin the advanced course.
This course opens with a focus on the VLOOKUP formula, and several modules teach students how to use this function in their work. The course continues with modules on the OR and AND commands, and then focuses on other functions, such as REPLACE, MID, LEFT, and FIND.
All three of these courses are designed to improve the knowledge you have with Excel, no matter if you are a beginner, intermediate, or an advanced user. Since these courses are divided into sections, you will also find that they are convenient, and it is possible to learn and study during your free time. Additionally, as the modules in the courses are only a few minutes long, for the most part, you don't have to take a lot of time during your day to focus on an individual module. Finally, since these courses are available online, again, you can access them from any internet-enabled device.

Home/Dodgers Prospects
Dodgers: Under the radar acquisitions for the 2020 season

Clayton Daniel, Klye Garlick, Kieran Lovegrove
Infielder Clayton Daniel came over from the Cubs in exchange for Casey Sadler. The 24-year-old is a middle infielder by trade, but has also spent some time in the outfield. Daniel's 5-foot-7, 170-pound frame doesn't exactly scream power hitter, but he's demonstrated good contact skills at all levels, hitting .305 between Low-A and AA last year.
The Dodgers acquired left-handed pitcher Kyle Gilbert from the Phillies for Kyle Garlick. The USC product pitched well for AAA Lehigh Valley last year, posting a 2.83 ERA over 47.2 innings. Gilbert has shown good control with a walk rate around 6 percent and has never had an ERA above 4.00 in the minors. The only problem is he's already 26 and hasn't reached the majors. That being said, Gilbert might also be running out of things to prove in the minors, and could see himself in the major league 'pen following a strong spring or injury to another reliever.
The Dodgers also inked South African righty Kieran Lovegrove to a minor league deal. The 25-year-old hurler grew up playing cricket in Johannesburg, but moved to Orange County at a young age. He features an electric fastball with late run, but unfortunately struggles mightily in the control department.
Last year, Lovegrove walked 24 batters in just 26 innings, and struggled to the tune of a 9.00 ERA across two levels in the Giants and Orioles systems. He did have a nice year in 2018, finishing with a 2.73 ERA across three levels in the Indians organization, and even being selected to the Futures game.
Next. 3 players who resurrected their careers in Los Angeles. dark
Overall Lovegrove is still pretty rough around the edges, but the Dodgers have a very strong track record developing pitching, and his stuff is undeniable. Lovegrove has also done admirable work off the diamond. Along with two of his friends from high school, founded Going to Bat, a 501(c)(3) that provides baseball and softball equipment to underprivileged children around the world.

Tsumura Basketball 2022: It's Kiera and Avery in TBI's title tilt tonight after Pemberton & Gators top Mulgrave, and Sussex & Rapids top OKM's Huskies!
December 17, 2022 Howard TsumuraComment(0)
LANGLEY — The two teams ranked at the very top of the B.C. senior girls Quad-A Top 10 poll have done their part to help create a dream championship final here at the 2022 Tsumura Basketball Invitational.
And the best part of all?
The No. 1-ranked Riverside Rapids of Port Coquitlam and the No. 2-ranked Walnut Grove Gators of Langley each bring their own marquee superstars.
In the first of two Friday Final Fours, Walnut Grove's Kiera Pemberton scored 40-plus points for the third straight day, this time pouring in 47 in her team's 74-67 win over Double-A No. 1 Mulgrave of West Vancouver.
In the nightcap, Riverside's Avery Sussex was commanding from her point guard spot with 33 points in the Rapids' 70-53 win over Kelowna's Okanagan Mission Huskies.
On our way to Saturday's 7:45 p.m. tip at the LEC's Centre Court complex, here's our look at both games:
RIVERSIDE 70 OKANAGAN MISSION 53
LANGLEY — There was a darker undercurrent tugging uncomfortably on the emotional strings of PoCo's Rapids as they tipped off against the OKM Huskies in the TBI Super 16 Final Four on Friday.
Earlier in the day, head coach Paul Langford had received word that his 5-foot-10 senior forward Alexis Hart had indeed been lost to the team for the season with a torn ACL.
In the aftermath of a what wound up a 26-point victory, No. 1 Riverside may well have played its best game of the young season, led by its Grade 11 point guard Avery Sussex for whom the description 'cerebral' is certainly true, but not at the expense of her uncanny, under-rated ability to get anywhere she needs to get on the hardwood.
"We got Alexis' news today, so…" Langford said, pausing and holding back his tears. "Our kids fed off that a bit. She is so close… not a daughter, but like, it's devastating. I cried all the way here. Sorry I am getting so emotional."

There was indeed a sense of purpose in the way Rapids players seemed to step up Friday night, whether consciously or not.
While Sussex did her thing, scoring 15 of her game-high 33 in the second quarter and helping facilitate a main rotation which is starting to begin to round into form, there was a noticeable edge from the fellow 'bigs' Hart had been expected to re-kindle chemistry with this season, like 6-foot-2 senior Natalie Curley who had 16 points, and 5-foot-10 Grade 11 Olivia Wheatley who had seven.
Yet ask OKM head coach Meghan Faust what the key to Riverside's success was, and she didn't hesitate for a second. No one would have.
"Avery Sussex," Faust said. "We had a lot of trouble stopping her. She has a nose for the hoop. She knows how to score and she has such a soft touch around the rim. It's pretty fun to watch actually. She is a great player."
Langford certainly agreed.
And as much as Faust, the opposition coach, said its fun to watch Sussex, Langford's personal view has come on an every-game basis from his spot on the sideline.
"I tell everybody that I have the best seat in the house because Avery is a different player all the time. I don't know anyone like her. I've had great players before, but she is different. She is unpredictable."
A two-sport standout, Sussex's time with the Riverside soccer team ultimately ran into conflicts with basketball, but in her last game in cleats, she scored a hat trick.
With all of those athletic qualities packed into her 5-foot-10 frame, the end result is ultimately a player who simply measures the temperature of game, and then heats up in any of the areas that give her team the advantage.
"I guess if I was going to compare her to anyone, it would be Courtney Gerwing," Langford said, comparing Sussex to Riverside's first bona-fide girls basketball talent, who later went on to star at Simon Fraser after playing for the Rapids in the early-t0-mid 2000s. "Avery has Courtney's savoir faire, but she is probably a little better than Courtney was at this same age."
Jorja Hart, the 5-foot-9 guard and younger sister of Alexis Hart, scored 13 of her 20 points in the second half.
"It was a tough one, Riverside is a great team and they played awesome," added Faust. "I am just proud that our girls didn't give up. I know that we have been in deep holes before and we battled back. So I am proud of that."
For OKM, 6-foot-2 standout senior forward Kanani Coon scored a team-high 18 points, while 5-foot-10 Grade 11 guard Maya Andruchow had 11 points.
And what of the Rapids facing Walnut Grove's Pemberton on Saturday in the finals?
"They are a big force and Kiera is unbelievable," Langford said. "But I have't even had time yet to think about her. I am going to think about our win. Going to the finals is pretty fun and its something we have been doing a lot of lately."

WALNUT GROVE 74 MULGRAVE 67
LANGLEY — There is a consistency within the excellence of Kiera Pemberton that is stunning.
No way else to put it.
On Friday, the North Dakota-bound scoring guard put together her third straight 40-plus point performance at TBI 2022, helping her Quad-A No. 2-ranked Walnut Grove Gators to a seven-point win over the Double-A No. 2-ranked Mulgrave Titans of West Vancouver in the Super 16 bracket's round of Final Four.
Six days ago, in what was a more decisive 81-62 Gators' win over the Titans, this time in the final of the Quinn Keast No Regrets invitational in North Vancouver, she scored an identical 47 points.
On Friday in Langley, those points were needed more than ever.
An ever-improving Mulgrave team trailed 26-13 at the end of the first quarter, but started the second quarter on a 14-2 run to pull within 28-27.
The no-quit Titans later pulled to within 40-39 early in the third quarter, but that's when the game clock struck 'Kiera Time' and Pemberton seemed to take off into her own personal hyper-space.
She sank seven field goals in the third quarter and seemed to score every time down the floor.
For Mulgrave, 6-foot-2 Grade 11 forward Eva Ruse scored 25, including 14 in the fourth quarter. Point guard Jenna Talib scored 22 including 14 in the second quarter (four treys). Guard Ava Wilson added nine.

Walnut Grove's senior trio handled almost all of the scoring. Aside from Pemberton, forward Abby Adams added 10 and guard Tia Rowell nine points on three triples.
Rowell's production bears examination as in last week's No Regrets final, she stroked six triples, a number big enough to cause Mulgrave head coach Claude Leduc to tweak his defence heading into their most recent meeting.
"I think putting someone on Tia this week (was significant) because she had six threes last week and they took that piece away from us which chnaged their spacing," said Walnut Grove head coach Rowell. "We had difficulty adjusting and so we tried some different things. Kudos to them for making it a difficult game for us."
For Leduc, until the next time the two meet, the goal will be to do what no one else really as been able to do, and that is to not only limit Tia Rowell's threes, but take Pemberton's scoring down a notch.
"Our defensive scheme was all about that," admitted Leduc. "We knew Pemberton was going to get her 40 points, but we didn't want No. 5 scoring at all, and I thought we did a good job with that. Now we just have to figure out how to make (Pemberton) score less."
Can it be done?
Last December, our TBI final saw an underdog Riverside team find a way to beat the top-ranked Terry Fox Ravens in what was to be a prelude to a classic B.C. title clash on the season's final day.
One year later, with similar plot lines in the air, Riverside comes in the higher ranked team, and Walnut Grove that so-called underdog.
Pemberton and the Gators face Sussex and the Rapids… it's not only the game which sets the tone early for what is sure to be an exciting 2022-23 season, but one that becomes the campaign's dominant plot line.

I love to read about teachers/staff in schools who make such a positive difference!
Wouldn't it be great if even 10 minutes of the 30 minutes of "news" was about "positive" events/actions?
So nice for students to get to literally experience the world beyond Iowa!!!
What a wonderfully inspirational post. There are lots of teachers doing great things in every building, in every school. we need to celebrate them.
I agree that teachers are doing "great things in every buiilding in every school" and "we need to celebrate them".
So important to share this message wide and far!
So many teachers doing so many wonderful things for their students. These are the things that need to be celebrated in the media.
What great living experiences for your students! Our band director would take a major trip every four years so that the students always had a chance to travel far from their small town. Any sponsor who travels with kids is brave indeed, but so blessed by sharing the world beyond school borders.
My son was fortunate to travel to Chicago and Florida on band trips.
I remember my HS band trips as well – Rocky Mountain Camps/Denver, Nashville/Ft. Knox, and they all included multiple concerts!
Great experiences for all Midwestern kids in my opinion!
Thanks for highlighting the positive – so many teachers are truly amazing! We all need to remember our life's work and the difference a teacher makes in a child's life.
So true! And there are so many routes to success for our students. We cannot take away the FUN – the arts, etc. – where some students soar to the mountain tops!
It is refreshing to read about your band director. My school plans a camping trip for the 5th gr in June and I keep thinking – really…do I have to go? But it will be an amazing experience for my city-living students and of course, I will enjoy it once I'm there or at least once it is all over! Field trips really are important! Those authentic experiences!
I love your use of "my band director" as this is my nephew (not my school)! Real life . . . see the world! What opportunities!
I saw many states and three countries as a result of high school band trips. The world is bigger than our schools!
What an incredible experience for these young musicians. Kudos to Director Greubell!
So nice to see a bigger picture of the world!

Here I am with my first post from our trip to Savannah, Georgia. If you are not up to date with all the events that happened lately, starting today you will see lots of posts related to my trip.
I'm starting with a look that I wore on our first day, even though we first stopped in South Carolina (I will come back to present that story to you soon).
My first outfit that I wore in Savannah was a mix of patterns: florals and stripes, both pieces (coat and dress) were vintage as you probably guessed.
I wanted so much to just walk an entire day through the Historic District and so we did. When I saw this oldie but goodie mansion: The Noble Hardee Mansion, currently an antique store, I couldn't help myself not taking the main photos of the day right there.
Oh my, everything looks so dreamy!!! Beautiful, editorial like photos and you're looking enchanting my dear!


It's that time of year again! In this last week of school, teachers will pack away their classrooms for the summer and say good-bye to students for a much needed summer break.
Did you remember to backup your documents?
Teachers now have years of digital products, representing hours of hard work, all saved somewhere in the school's servers or, heaven forbid, on the local C drive of their classroom computer. It is up to each individual teacher to ensure that these are safely backed-up. Since we are a GAFE school, Google Drive is the perfect solution.
Create a new folder in your Google Drive to house your school documents.
Since our teacher documents are housed in each person's H drive, this was the file name in this sample.
Upload your folders to Google Drive!
There are two ways to upload files and folders to Google Drive.
If you have time, carefully selecting folders and files to upload can help you clean out your "digital closets", and you can delete from your H drive as you go.
Now your school documents are safely backed-up, and you can access them from anywhere on any device at any time in their original Office format!!
There are a few things you will want to know about working with Office documents in your Google drive, so tomorrow's post will have information on opening, sharing and converting these files.
The senior class had a busy day yesterday! They started the day at 8:00 AM at the First Baptist Church with the annual senior breakfast. I want to thank all the parents that helped make this breakfast possible by volunteering to decorate, cook, and clean up. Your time and effort was greatly appreciated!! I also want to thank Brother Paul McKinney and the First Baptist Church for the use of their facilities.
The seniors went back to the schools and had the opportunity to hear former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin give a presentation and award to fellow senior Taylor Peebles.
Next the seniors donned their cap and gowns for the annual senior picture. Following this, the seniors visited with Primary and Intermediate campuses and received congratulation "high fives" from all the students. A special thank you to Mr. Reeve and Mrs. Shaffer for working with the High School to arrange this special time.
Finally, the seniors concluded the day with the annual Baccalaureate Service at the First Baptist Church in Eustace. The service started with Brandon Hall offering the Invocation. Grace Holcombe then read a bible verse, which was followed by the principal's address. Jerry Johnson provided the Baccalaureate address and Zach Hughes ended the service with the benediction. Afterwards, the First Baptist Church hosted a reception for all the seniors and their guests in the fellowship hall.
Again, I want to thank everyone that was involved in making this a special day for our seniors!
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! We are coming to the end of this school year. We have four days this week and then five days next week. Thursday and Friday of next week will be early release days. The seniors have lots of different activities scheduled for this week.
The FFA Banquet was held last Friday. For the 2014-2015 school year, Eustace FFA had a total of 81 members. After a great barbeque dinner, there were numerous awards and recognitions presented to students. Chad Tindel, Thomas Hyde, and Santos Umana all received the FFA Bob Goin Scholarship. The 2015-2016 FFA Officers were also introduced: Jordyn Costlow, President; Lane Smith, Vice President; Jessica Miller, Secretary; Cameron Rogers, Treasurer; Jodi Costlow, Reporter; Bucky Womble, Sentinel; and, Whitney Boerner, Advisor. Congratulations to these students and to all the students that participated in FFA this year. A special thank you to the FFA sponsors, Theresa Tindel and Steve Stegall. A very special thank you to all the parents, relatives, and friends that have supported FFA this year!
I wanted to let everyone know that we did, out of an overabundance of caution, go to a district-wide lockdown today. That lockdown has since been lifted. There was an event at our Primary Campus that was resolved without incident. No children were ever in danger.
I want to thank all the parents that were involved for their patience and cooperation. I will say that our security plan worked as needed. Our security personnel responded quickly, as well as local and county law enforcement. Again, I appreciate everyone's cooperation during the lockdown.
Congratulations to Chanda Westbrook and Whitney Boerner on their performances at the state track meet! Whitney placed 8th in pole vault and Chanda placed 4th in the 3200m and 4th in the 1600m. Chanda also set a school record in the 3200m with a time of 11:40.91! Both of these young ladies spent many, many hours in preparation to make it to the state meet. They definitely represented EISD with Pride, Poise, Discipline, and Class!
Accepted resignations of High School teachers Mandy Rolison and Anna Rhea.
Approved the employment of Josh Truitt as High School teacher and coach, Vickie Goodell as High School teacher, and Laura Cheek as High School teacher.
The Board met with David Gurley of DG Construction about the proposed new Ag Science building. After discussing the overall project, the Board approved proceeding to the next phase of the construction process.
The Board met with the District's current security officer, Richard Gaddis, and discussed the process of implementing a district police department. The Board reviewed the proposed policy and procedure manual for a new police department developed by Mr. Gaddis.
The Board adjourned the meeting at 8:25 PM.
Closed Session – Students and Staffing – Any actions on closed session items will be made in open session.
Congratulations to all these athletes, their parents, and their coaches. A special thank you to our Booster Club President Gayle De Alva and the rest of the Booster Club officers for all the work they put in to making this banquet a very special occasion!!
Second grade will be involved in Reading and Literacy Assessment throughout the week.

Tonight and the next couple days promise to give us a little advance taste of the coming cold of winter. The weather man keeps telling us that a wide spread killing freeze is coming to our area tonight…..I believe him!
We are in that awkward phase in the Midwest between hot muggy summer days and cold freezing winter days. Some of our days are absolutely beautiful and warm; they are dry, sunny and golden . Tomorrow, according to the weather man, does not promise to be one of those days.
This afternoon we spent some time digging out the sweet potatoes as I have heard they cannot be left in the ground when there is a killing freeze. I have never grown sweet potatoes but thought I would give them a try this year. I only planted a couple of plants and was curious to know how they did. There were not a lot of them but it will be fun to try to make sweet potato fries……when I find a recipe.
There are also many hills of regular white potatoes that are needing to be dug out. Fortunately those are not quite as fussy as sweet potatoes and can stay in the ground a little while longer. The pie pumpkins need to be picked and put somewhere to be stored until I have some time to cook them out, puree, and freeze to be used for pies, muffins, bars and breads later in the year. The harvest season is always busy with a variety of things to do.
I am grateful for the time between soybean harvest and combining field corn. That is when my husband has time to do the digging up of produce. It always seems to be a race with the weather at that point. Usually the weather pattern is unsettled and it can range from beautiful to rainy and sometimes even flurries of snow.
Cut all vegetables and cook 15 minutes till slightly tender.
Cook about 4-6 hours in crock pot.
NOTE: I do like to use a bag of California Mix frozen vegetable in place of the head of cauliflower.
you can also use broccoli instead of cauliflower.
For the cheese I use Velveeta as I like the smooth texture it gives.
This makes a large batch and is wonderfully smooth and creamy. I have a feeling it is not a diet soup but I like to console myself that during the busy seasons a person needs a hearty soup.
May you also enjoy the warm comfort of a bowl of soup on a cool fall day.
which they will try to foist on anybody who looks like a likely candidate.
Somebody Turn the Light On!
Hello! I cannot believe that it is going to freeze there tonight! I would love to grow sweet potatoes when we move down to the farm. I know nothing at all about growing any type of potato! I have lots and lots of learning ahead of me! Well…my husband walked by my desk when I was first reading your post. He said: "What kind of soup is that? It looks great!"… I will be stopping at the grocery tomorrow to get the ingredients that I don't already have. We like soup in the winter, but who knows when winter will arrive? We had tomato soup and crackers tonight plus deviled eggs. Your soup looks better!!
I love this soup and you can style it to your taste. Originally it calls for just cauliflower with the other ingredients but I love the broccoli in it also. I am dreaming of your deviled eggs! I have never made those. As I have a steady supply of eggs I should probably give them a try.
That sounds delicious! Will have to make it sometime soon! I can't believe you'd never made deviled eggs… my boys used to only eat hard boiled eggs if I made them into deviled eggs… I got good at it!
Sweet potato fries are simple – I just scrub, slice, put in a bowl with some oil to coat them, add some Lawry's, and bake until done (I do 400 or 425 so they're a little crispy – usually 30-40 minutes). I'm not a huge recipe person, though, so I just make them :).
I love al the delicious recipes you share!!
Lar wants me to try them with sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on them :).Will let you know how they turn out when I try that! Good to know temps and time to bake though. That is what I was in the dark about.
You do so much Farming / Gardening. Life must be full of Nice things for you. Always planting, cooking, blogging. What a Beautiful Care Free Life, God has Blessed you with.
I love where I am at in life. Though I think I have pretty much always liked the different places I was at.
I have always gardened, canned, baked and cooked to save money on the food budget. When our three boys were at home we watched our sales religiously for grocery items and clothing items.It is a habit I still have. It enables my husband and me to be at home to do those things :).
We maybe do not always have what we want (I would love a cell phone!) but we always have what we need. I tell people I have never been hungry and never had to go without clothes so I guess life is good!
You are Content with Life and ThankFull to GOD. May God Bless you with Everything you and your family wish to have.
That soup sure looks good. My husband grows a lot of sweet potatoes each year. We give a lot away to friends. They are so good for us.
Have you ever made them into fries? That is what I would like to try. Also what do you do with them? LOL this is my first time growing them.
They make good fries. You can make a sweet potato pie just like a pumpkin pie. It tastes milder. Bake them and eat them like a regular baked potato. Slice them up and fry them, add some sugar and they become slightly candied. Bake them chopped in pieces in the oven with sugar and spices, top them with marshmallows. Eat them raw – I like them that way. You can blend them smooth and make a custard.You can make chips (like potato chips) with them, baked in the oven.
Oh man!!! I am going to have to try all those ideas. I am liking the potato chip thought.
They have sweet potato chips in bags at Wal Mart, but home made are better.
The soup is delicious :). Our youngest son (when he lived at home) would eat soup for breakfast or as a snack…..he loved it that much.
It was cold here last night! We only got in the 50's today for temps. I am NOT ready for the winter!
Soup looks delicious. Cooking some sweet potatoes now to make into baby food for Trey. I have a really good sweet potato casserole I can give you…when I remember. They taste good in veg and chicken soup too.
I am going to have to try them in vegetable soup. That sounds really good.
Your sweet potatoes look gorgeous. We love them, and they are good for lowering blood sugar. Of course, I don't often make the casserole that calls for tons of marshmallows on top.
Your soup must be spectacular. I grew up in the South in a non-soup eating family. Although John and I lived on Long Island for 50 years, I didn't try making soup until about five years ago. I'd say half the time my soups are fairly good, and I don't think that's a good track record. It would probably be best to wait until we a yearning for a hot bowl of soup to consider doing it again. I'm going to keep your recipe in mind.
I like how this one is so easy to make…..I can put it in the crock pot and kind of forget about it.
I am a newbie at the sweet potato thing so this ought to be interesting.
Yep, pretty sure that is not a low calorie soup, but it does sound yummy! Soup making is definitely a primeval urge, I agree. Along with a casserole. It's funny that in the summer I hate the house smelling of cooked food, but as soon as autumn hits it is totally desirable?!
LOL you are so right about the food smelling good time table. For some reason when that nip of fall gets in the air I just want to make food and bake……too bad I am not skinny and really need to eat :(.
And if there is milk in the cake frosting it would be dairy right? And the egg in the cake makes it a protein? I think I read somewhere that cocoa is a bean so I am guessing vegetable group? Look how many food groups are included in cake 🙂 I feel better already!
I believe we have just proven that cake should be part of a recommended diet!
If you like broccoli it works good with that also. We are way cooled off here. Only made it into the 50s today. Should be back to 70s by Sunday :).
Even all the way down here in Mazurah it stayed in the mid 50's all day. I'm not ready. I did however go on a soup making spree. I started with chicken soup but didn't like the end result and turned it into a pot of baby lima beans. That was great but didn't hit the spot. Consequently, I turned it into beef stew(ish). Completely satisfied, I finally had a nice meal! As well, deviled eggs are a staple in this house, I don't go a day with out em!
If dairy and I had not had a falling out several years back, I would be having delicious creamy cauliflower soup with some broccoli thrown in!!
That is so sad that you and dairy had a falling out! I would be sunk.
I am definitely going to have to try deviled eggs.
Mentally I am not ready for the cold weather but I am not sure what I can do about it.
No dairy has taken a bit of getting used to…I still crave ice cream!
And yes, the weather is out of our hands. I'm not a fan of this!
We've had 3 freezes already… Cold today. 46 this morning when I took Little Bit to horse riding lessons. Brrr.
Ethel sounds pretty amazing. I also love that you use frozen vegetables as well. My husband will really love this recipe. He is a huge Velveeta fan. I guess he could eat a few vegetables if Velveeta is involved.
This was our third frost but definitely the killing one.
Yep we are smack in the Iowa Midwest :).
You're in IOWA?????? My favorite state EVER. I was born there and my folks and their families were raised there. I'm one state directly south of you!
Woo Hoo. My husband and I have family one state south. We love going down there for visits.
Right now we are in SW MO. The city we're going to move by is St Louis! Yikes! Picked a big one!
That is a big place! I hope you can find a country area. I know you like your backroads :).
where is Iowa did you grow up?
Was in LaPorte City Iowa for a couple years when I was little. Then we moved to NW MO right under the Iowa line.
Chiggers are mean!! 🙂 Don't blame him!
By Spirit Lake? Sioux City?
we are about 90 miles from the lakes and about the same from Sioux City. We are actually closer to the Minnesota border and South Dakota border.
My 97 year old great aunt lives at Spirit Lake. All Dad's family was around Glenwood. Mom's was in Denison/ Schleswig. I was born in Hamburg, which is a tiny town in SW Iowa close to MO border. I've got all kinds of family in Iowa. In fact, my brother and his wife are buying grandma's farm near Glenwood and moving up there from Kansas City.
Small world. For some reason I thought you were in Texas.
LOL I have been to Texas…..once for a wedding.
We get to Lake Okoboji a few times a year as my sister has a lake house there.
When we go to MO we go to Lebanon to see family.
Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? If you can across I44, you probably drove right by my town.
You're way up there. 🙂 We are at opposite ends! Ha! I bet you get some winters up there!
LOL I am not sure how cool it gets further south. I will have to ask my nephew what North Carolina winters are like. He is stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC.
I know if I could I would share the cool weather in the winter.
Ft. Bragg would get a little cool – especially when we acclimatized to the weather. Our first year, though, we were the crazy couple running around with simple long sleeves! 😂 Being slightly further south now, I realized it is cool now that the humidity has broken – but, cool for me is apparently the mid-70's, according to my car's temperature gauge!
LOL I thought it was cool here yesterday when it was in the 50's. I am pretty sure I will change that perspective in January when it is below zero.
I have been behind on reading-glad I did not miss this post! this recipe is one I will try first chance I get. I especially missed you, when the power was out!
I was behind as well and I cannot blame the power. Just got too busy. I am so glad you all turned out okay out there. You were on my mind through that weather.
that means so very much to me! thank you!
It was very tasty!!! My husband does not care for it so I froze it in individual containers for later :).
When you do let me know how you like it.

Malayali soldier among the CRPF men killed in terrorist attack
Srinagar: Malayali soldier includes the CRPF men who were killed in the terrorist attack in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. The man has been identified as V.V. Vasanthakumar from Kunnathidavaka of Lakkidi in Wayanad district.
Vasanthakumar joined the army in 2001 and belonged to Battalion 82 of CRPF. Vasanthakumar was given a transfer with promotion to Srinagar. He was on his way to assume the office there. He returned from Wayanad after vacation on February 1.
I am very much proud that my brother gave his life for Mother India, said Vasanthakumar's brother Sajeevan. The CRPF men were killed in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Thursday.
Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the bus in which the CRPF personnel were travelling. This is one of the worst terror strikes in the state in recent years, said the officials.
As many as 2500 CRPF personnel, many of the returning from leave to rejoin duty in the valley. They were travelling in the convoy of 78 vehicles when they were ambushed at Latoomode in Awantipura.
The buses and suicide vehicle were completely destroyed and was reduced into a mangled heap of iron. Body parts could be strewn around the area. Police identified the terrorist who was driving the suicide vehicles as Adil Ahmad from Kakapora in Pulwama district. He joined the JeM last year. The casualties are likely to go up, they added.

Cops, No Robbers
By Edward Johnson Feb 23, 2017
A Florida man ended up with more time off than he intended after calling cops to report being the victim of a robbery -- all because he didn't feel like going into work.
Dominique Jones called 911 on Monday night to say he'd been held up in the hallway of a Howard Johnson Hotel in Jacksonville, and that two men had stolen his wallet and other valuables before fleeing. When interviewed by officers who'd responded to the scene, Jones couldn't describe either of the crooks in any way -- and said he couldn't remember which direction they went when they split.
The deputies called in for backup, including a K-9 unit, and eventually found Jones's wallet, cash intact, in a suitcase in his room. He ended up admitting that he'd made up the story because he wanted to extend his three-day weekend, and he got his wish -- after being tossed in jail for falsely reporting a crime. (WOKV)

U.S. patent appeal board rules against UC in CRISPR interference
By Robert Sanders, Media relations| February 28, 2022 March 1, 2022
February 28, 2022 March 1, 2022 Robert Sanders
Today (Feb. 28) the Patent and Trial Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S .Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued its decision in the interference proceeding relating to the use of the foundational CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system in eukaryotic cells, that is, plants and animals.
The interference was between patent applications owned by The Regents of the University of California, the University of Vienna and Emmanuelle Charpentier (collectively, "CVC") and patents and patent applications owned by the Broad Institute, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (collectively, "Broad").
The PTAB decision held that Broad scientists were the first to invent the use of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in eukaryotic cells. As a result of this decision, the CVC patent applications involved in this interference will not be granted.
CVC has more than 40 issued U.S. patents that were not involved in this interference and that cover various guide formats of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing systems with applications in all environments, including eukaryotic cells. The 13 patents and one patent applications owned by Broad remain under challenge. They are also involved in interferences with Toolgen and Sigma-Aldrich.
The University of California is disappointed by the PTAB's decision and believes the PTAB made a number of errors. CVC is considering various options to challenge this decision.
In addition to the 40+ U.S. patents not involved in this interference, CVC also has issued patents to its foundational CRISPR-Cas9 systems in over 30 countries worldwide that are not affected by any U.S. interference proceedings.
In 2020, UC Berkeley's Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, director at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, Germany, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing," notably the first time the Nobel Prize has been shared by two women.
Since first disclosing their groundbreaking work in 2012, Doudna and Charpentier have each continued to lead the global development and ethical application of CRISPR technology. Their efforts have helped to establish a "CRISPR economy" of new, innovative companies and research projects for the betterment of humankind.

It has been pretty good month for one of our favorite producers from the UK Third Son. Following up his release from earlier in the month with Natura Sonoris and a lovely remix from Anton Dhouran Ft. Ed Bergley "The Myth of Tarea", is his latest which has come out a few days ago with Sodai Records. The Lithuanian label has had some great releases over the past couple of years since its inception featuring a few other favorites of mine such as Gardens of God and of course Raxon. Third Son is someone who we have given a fair bit of attention to here at LAMP. He was previously featured here a few times for Track of the Day and he put together a guest mix and interview for us a couple years ago that to this day is still one of my favorites. We even had him booked for his first US show but Visa complications prevented it. He has since been back and I hear he is coming back soon and hope to catch him when he does. Third Son consistently delivers some of the most intriguing music that I come across and am always happy to share his new music when I can.
Irony is one of three new originals on Syncope from Third Son and Sodai Records. As is usually the case with Third Son we are going to go on a bit of a journey here as all of his songs seem to tell some kind of a story. It is definitely an exercise in imagination, but if you are listening with intention you will find yourself lost on a journey whether it was your plan or not. Everyones journey will be different as parts of the song will always be more poignant to each individual. There are several parts of this journey that grab my attention. For instance the full bodied kick the rumbles its way thorough the groove, laden with all sorts of cymbals, snares and high hats darting in and out of the mix. Each one playing around moving from left to right and front to back in the arrangement. From there we get a wonderful growling bass line that sounds a bit like a really sawed out standing bass which is accompanied by a squelching synth that introduces us and carries us to the next section of the journey. This is where things start to really gain momentum as all of the elements begin to blend together and work in harmony. A repeating stab that accentuates the whole track takes over as the main theme of the song as long drawn out pads pick us up and gently move us through the arrangement form one phrase to the next. I have listened through this track at least 10 times while writing this today. Each time the journey surprises me with something I did not notice the last time, and is just as intriguing as the first journey though, which is always a sign of a superior piece of music. Check out more of Third Son here. Enjoy and check out the full release below.

Q: JSON.NET Parser *seems* to be double serializing my objects My problem is this:
This is the response being sent back from my WebAPI controller.
"[
   [
      {\"id\":\"identifier\"},
      {\"name\":\"foobar\"}
   ]
]"

Notice that the response is wrapped in quotations and all of the embedded quotations are escaped.  This is obviously a problem.  Are there any settings I can provide to the JSON.NET Serializer to prevent this from occurring?
Edit
As p.s.w.g guessed in his response, I was using JSON.NET's
JsonConvert.SerializeObject(instance)

to perform my serialization.
I did this because as I was building out my custom Converters, I had included them in the JsonConvert.DefaultSettings within my WepApiConfig (and I obviously thought this would not be a problem)
I had previously tried to swap the return type of my HttpGets to "my object type" and the response was a json representation of my object's ToString() method...which let me know that serialization was not passing through my converters.
Changing the return type of my HttpGets from string to "my object type" and plugging those converters straight into WebAPi's default HttpConfiguration did the trick.
config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new FooConverter());
config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(new BarConverter());

Easy peasy.

A: You probably have something like this:
public string GetFoobars()
{
    var foobars = ...
    return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(foobars);
}

In this case, you're serializing the object into string with Json.NET, then by returning the result as a string, the API controller will serialize the string as a JavaScript string literal—which will cause the string to be wrapped in double quotes and cause any other special characters inside the string to escaped with a backslash.
The solution is to simply return the objects by themselves:
public IEnumerable<Foobar> GetFoobars()
{
    var foobars = ...
    return foobars;
}

This will cause the API controller to serialize the objects using it's default settings, meaning it will serialize the result as XML or JSON depending on the parameters passed in from the client.

*

*JSON and XML Serialization in ASP.NET Web API

A: the API serializes before sending the resonse.
example : return Ok(yourUnSerializedObject);
No need to serailize for you.

A: Check your properties modifiers. by example:
  public List<Yourobjectclass> columnaLista { get; set; }

    public List<Yourobjectclass> ColumnaLista
    {
        get
        {
            return this.columnaLista;
        }
        set
        {
            this.columnaLista = value;
        }

the serializer will add all objects of columnaLista regarless the name because you have two properties with public modifier.
to fix this, you must change the property modifier like this:
      private List<Yourobjectclass> columnaLista { get; set; }

Patterns of Quality Experienced by African American Children in Early Education Programs: Predictors and Links to Children's Preschool and Kindergarten Academic Outcomes
By Iruka, Iheoma U.; Morgan, Jenille
Research consistently demonstrates that high-quality early care and education programs (ECE) produce significant short-term and long-term cognitive, social, and emotional gains in children who participate (Barnett, 2011; Burchinal et al., 2008; Camilli et al., 2010; Winsler et al., 2008; Zaslow et al., 2010). Immediate effects of ECE include improved academic performance (NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2002a; Peisner-Feinberg et al., 2001), higher achievement test scores, stronger quantitative skills (Votruba-Drzal, Coley, & Chase-Lansdale, 2004), and better language production and comprehension (Tran & Weinraub, 2006). Research studies also demonstrate that high quality ECE also have significant lasting effects on cognitive abilities (IQ and achievement test scores), school progress (grade repetition, special education placement, and educational attainment), and social behavior (reduced delinquency and crime) (Aos et al., 2004; Karoly, Kilbum, & Cannon, 2005).
While high quality ECE is beneficial for all children, some studies reveal it can be especially critical for children from economically disadvantaged families (Burchinal et al., 2010; Sabol & Pianta, 2014). Studies indicate that ECE can be an even stronger predictor of positive outcomes for ethnic minority children, who are likely to be from low-income homes, than for more advantaged children (Burchinal et al., 2000; Burchinal et al., 2006; Caughy, DiPietro, & Strobino, 1994; Peisner-Feinberg et al., 2001; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010; Vandell et al., 2010). Two of the oldest and best known longitudinal studies demonstrating longterm benefits of ECE for predominantly low-income African American children are the Abecedarian and the High/Scope Perry Preschool projects. Both of these studies showed that highquality early care can have lasting positive effects, some reaching well into adulthood (Belfield et al., 2006; Pungello et al., 2010). However, a more recent report found that African American children are likely to experience lower quality early education programs compared to their White counterparts (Barnett, Carolan, & Johns, 2013).
As more attention is beginning to focus on ECE, including through the Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge grant competition, questions are being asked regarding what constitutes quality and how to improve and incentivize quality, especially for children most at risk for school failure (e.g., minority children, children from low-income households; Sabol & Pianta, 2014). Since quality is multi-dimensional, encompassing structural (e.g., education, child-teacher ratio) and process (e.g., teacher-child interactions) features (Cassidy et al., 2005), it is important to:
* understand the patterns of quality that African American children are likely to experience,
* examine the extent to which child, family, teacher, and program characteristics are associated with patterns of quality, and
* know how patterns of quality are associated with children outcomes.
Conceptual Framework
Children's development is influenced by multiple systems (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2007). Nevertheless, the most proximal system-families and ECE programs-have the largest and most direct impact on children's development (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2007). Studies have noted that ECE experiences, particularly the quality of the learning environment, can have a profound impact on children's early development and learning (see Magnuson & Waldfogel, 2005; NICHD Early Child Care Research Network, 2000; Vandell et al., 2010). It is posited that high quality ECE provides children with stable, nurturing, and responsive caregivers, language-rich environments, and supports children's socio-emotional and physical development. Garcia Coll and colleagues (1996) noted that promoting (rather than inhibiting) environments are particularly beneficial for minority children's development, while also considering other child (e. …
