Port Nelson was a settlement on Hudson Bay, in Manitoba, Canada, at the mouth of the Nelson River. Its peak population in the early 20th century was about 1,000 people but today it is a ghost town. Immediately to the southsoutheast is the mouth of the Hayes River and the settlement of York Factory. Note that some books use 'Port Nelson' to mean the region around the mouths of the two rivers.

History

Early history
Port Nelson was named by Thomas Button who wintered there in 1612. "August 15, 1612 Captain Thomas Button seeking for a harbour on the west coast of Hudson's Bay in which he might repair damages incurred during a severe storm, discovered the mouth of a large river which he designated Port Nelson, from the name of the master of his ship whom he buried there."

First expedition (1670)
The French explorers and fur traders Pierre-Esprit Radisson and Médard des Groseilliers had scouted the area, learning from local native contacts that the Nelson River area had great commercial potential. At the time, much of the focus of early expeditions was on the "bottom of the bay", and a succession of early posts would be established near the bottom of James Bay, starting with Charles Fort (Rupert House) in 1668. This was the closest part of Hudson Bay to New France, and could be reached via inland river routes, as was done during the 1686 French expedition which captured the English posts on James Bay. The Nelson River, meanwhile, provided a route to the western interior of what is now Manitoba.

The devastation of Huronia in the 1640s by the Iroquois during the Beaver Wars had decimated a major ally of the French, the Huron, and weakened their fur trade connections to the interior. This had encouraged Radisson and des Groseilliers to explore further into the interior, with the pair penetrating far into the  (the Upper Country, geographically interpreted around the Great Lakes waterways), reaching Lake Superior via inland routes in 16591660 and making contact with the Sioux.

Radisson, however, had also set his sights on an expedition via the maritime route to Hudson Bay through the Hudson Strait, and was pursuing English or Dutch financing to do so. The adventurism of Radisson and des Groseilliers had been opposed by the institutional authorities in the colony of New France, leading to their fining and the imprisonment of des Groseilliers following their return from a successful expedition with a fortune in fursfurs which possibly had saved the colony from financial collapse.

This set in motion the Frenchmen's association with mariners from the Massachusetts Bay Colony, including Zachariah Gillam, who captained the Nonsuch on the 1668 expedition with des Groseilliers which led to the establishment of Charles Fort.

The Hudson's Bay Company was formed in 1670. Charles Bayly was appointed as the first overseas governor of the company in May, and by June a new expedition had been dispatched. This consisted of two ships, the Wivenhoe (with Radisson and Bayly aboard) along with the Prince Rupert (captained by Gillam, with des Groseilliers aboard). The convoy reached the western end of the Hudson Strait by August 18, where it split up. The Prince Rupert proceeded successfully to Charles Fort, whilst the Wivenhoe sought the Nelson estuary.

The Wivenhoe struggled with fog and poor winds, and was delayed in finding the Nelson. Eventually, in September, it did so and Bayly was able to go ashore and nail a brass plate of the English royal arms to a tree, thus claiming the territory for England. By this time, however, the local indigenous people had already begun their seasonal migration inland in advance of winter, making it impossible for trading to take place at the estuary. Discouraged, the expedition departed for Charles Fort, having not resulted in even a single seasonal trading operation.

Later expeditions
A Hudson's Bay Company post was established in 1682 in a context of intense local competition, both from the French  (intent on the Hayes River) and from a group of independent New England traders. The New England traders under Benjamin Gillam were focused on the Nelson, but were out-manoeuvred and captured by the French under Pierre-Esprit Radisson.

It was during the period from 1660–1870
– when many Assiniboine and Swampy Cree trappers and hunters became middlemen in the Hudson's Bay Company fur trade economy in Western Canada – that the Cree began to be referred to as "three distinct groups: the Woodland Cree, the Plains Cree, and the Swampy Cree." The Swampy Cree and the Assiniboine used the Nelson River, along with the Hayes River, as the main inland routes to the great inland lake, Lake Winnipeg. Although the Nelson is much larger, the Hayes was a better route into the interior. Therefore, most of the Hudson's Bay Company's trade was done from York Factory on the Hayes, which was built in 1684. In 1694-95 Father Marest recorded "The Assiniboine are thirty-five or forty days journey from the fort [Port Nelson]."

"For more than two hundred years, from two to five sailing vessels, on an average, frequently with war ships conveying them, have sailed annually from Europe and America to Port Nelson, or other ports in Hudson's Bay and returned with cargoes the same season via the only available route, Hudson's Straits."

20th-century boom and decline
In the early 1900s, the Government of Canada felt that a major harbour on Hudson Bay was needed for shipping grain from central Canada. In 1912 Port Nelson was selected as the site over Churchill (at the mouth of the Churchill River) to become the terminus of the Hudson Bay Railway, the construction of which had already begun from The Pas in 1910.

In the winter of 1912-13 the site was surveyed and construction of a wharf began in the spring, followed by buildings and other infrastructure built during the summer. The brand new Canadian research ship CSS Acadia was sent from Halifax to chart the harbour and approaches in the summer of 1913 and 1914. However the whole harbour project was fraught with problems from the start. Material shortages, labour disputes, storms, fires, and boating accidents led to major delays. Another setback was the necessity to completely redesign the harbour because the fast flowing Nelson River was building up silt on both sides of the wharf. Therefore, the harbour was changed to a small man-made island farther out in the river. The island was connected to the mainland with a seventeen-span truss bridge, built by Dominion Bridge Company of Montreal.  A wrecked ship currently lies on the island.

When Canada entered the First World War, it resulted in further material and labour shortages, and more significantly, the loss of political and financial support. The project was able to continue a few more years until 1918 when all work stopped and the site was abandoned. The whole project was greatly criticized by several politicians, the media, which called it a "gigantic blunder", and even the project's chief engineer.

The Hudson Bay Railway never reached Port Nelson and its tracks lay abandoned until 1927 when Churchill was chosen to become the northern shipping hub. Construction on the railway  was restarted in 1927 and completed in 1929.

In 1989 Parks Canada began the York Factory Oral History Project which included compiling stories by Swampy Cree Elders. Flora Beardy, a York Factory Cree woman conducted interviews with fourteen elders, some of whom lived in Port Nelson.

AASA Partners with Tap Water Watch
James Minichello
jminichello@aasa.org
Alexandria, Va. – Oct. 3, 2017 – Recognizing the alarming lead levels in our drinking water, AASA, The School Superintendents Association, is teaming up with a water testing company to address a critical issue that has an impact on a very high percentage of schools throughout the country.
Based in Dallas, Texas, Tap Water Watch specializes in identifying water fixtures in schools, daycares and homes that are exposing drinking water with lead contamination. The company has a nationwide presence with trained water samplers and laboratories in every state.
Congress banned the use of lead pipes in the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in 1986. Any school built before 1986 is at the highest risk level for lead in drinking water.
"Millions of American homes and schools continue to supply drinking water through old lead pipes," said Chuck Woodruff, chief operating officer, AASA. "Lead gets into drinking water after it leaves a city water treatment plant in the lead service lines, plumbing, solder and water fixtures. We are pleased that Tap Water Watch is an AASA School Solutions partner to help school districts come up with solutions so more students can have access to safe drinking water."
Based on EPA data, last year 18 million Americans were served water by systems that failed the Lead and Copper Rule, a U.S. federal regulation which limits the concentration of lead and copper allowed in public drinking water.
"Odds are there are water fountains within every school that have elevated levels of lead," said Scott Nelson, founder, Tap Water Watch. "As pressure mounts from state legislators, the media and concerned parents, school districts have a choice to either proactively test and fix any issues on their own or be forced to reactively test while under the media spotlight."
Tap Water Watch is offering lead and copper management solutions to AASA member school districts, including providing on-site trained water samplers and water quality monitoring. Districts are encouraged to watch a video the company produced discussing the high levels of lead in drinking water throughout the country and how to register to have their water fixtures tested.
For additional questions about Tap Water Watch, contact Tara Gao at tgao@aasa.org.
AASA, The School Superintendents Association, founded in 1865, is the professional organization for more than 13,000 educational leaders in the United States and throughout the world. AASA's mission is to support and develop effective school system leaders who are dedicated to the highest quality public education for all children. For more information, visit www.aasa.org.

Discussion: Is textbook example of applying declination correct?
I am trying to learn how to apply declination as it pertains to magnetic compasses. In the process I found a textbook on surveying which had several examples that the author worked out for the student.
I thought I had understood the concepts and could apply them reasonably well for most examples I encountered. That is, until I came across Example 5-3 on page 129 of the book, SURVEYING written by Bouchard and Moffett. 5th edition. International Textbook Company.
Below I have carefully transcribed Example 5-3 on page 129 and presented the authors solution. I feel the author or his typist made a mistake. But because I have so little experience in applying declination, I feel insecure in my contradicting solution.
Would you please be willing to review both the author's solution as well as mine and point out where I might have made an error? I also provided a bit of a discussion after my solution so that you would have a more clear insight into what was going on inside my mind.
was going to do with the declination (add it or subtract it) when he itemized his procedure solution.
grasping the subject matter. God help the poor person when I finally understand something, however.
I get the book's answer.
East is least and West is best, going from True to Magnetic.
1880: True = Magnetic - Declination (but D is negative), so True > Magnetic.
so True > Magnetic is still correct.
If you look at Sheet 1 of Patent 526021, you can see one of the "quadrant" dials that use the N (angle) W, and S (angle) W convention. Zero is at North and South, and East and West are both 90.
Finally, I may be wrong here. I'm as confused about declination as anyone, but the book solution makes sense to me.
@whburling I don't think you have calculated the magnetic azimuth in 1880 correctly. You shouldn't have the declination (16 deg) in the conversion from magnetic bearing to magnetic azimuth. It's only in the next step (conversion to true azimuth) that the declination should appear.
Allow me to offer a different point of view. By no means do I think I am "right".
I am just trying to think as well as I can.
My understanding is that Magnetic Declination can used when seeking to understand the relationship between magnetic and true north.
current declination for its reference.
* A BEARING on your compass reading N 30 degrees East means the bearing is 30 degrees East from the declination.
* If a DECLINATION of 14 deg West is appropriate for the region of the compass magnetic bearing (and the time of the bearing), taking into account the 14W declination means the reference of the COMPASS bearing on your compass is 14 to the west of True North.
* Thus the True north bearing is 14 degrees LESS than the magnetic bearing.
Consequently a declination of anything W always results in a True North Reading which is less than the magnetic bearing. Thus the sign of a xW declination is negative.
This is the opposite of what I am hearing from you, cedarcreek.
Where are the misunderstandings for me or possibly for you?
You are both saying the same thing, you're just talking about different directions of conversion (true to mag vs mag to true).
"East is least and West is best, going from True to Magnetic" is the same as "W is negative, E is positive, going from mag to true"
It may be worth noting that in all the orienteering and mapping I've done since 1978, I can't recall ever once doing any kind of magnetic declination calculation.
I'll second what @bmay said... the magnetic azimuth in 1880 is simply the magnetic bearing plus 180 degrees.
We assume the true azimuth doesn't change over time, so our procedure is to find that next and then use that and our modern day declination to find the modern day bearing. Seems like you worked all that perfectly and the 16° error just propagated through.

Q: after renaming the page everything works fine. we are facing a strange issue. we have a (custom)file upload control in our page . which binds files to a grid view. say our page name is xxx.aspx. our custom file upload control works fine every where except xxx.aspx. when we attach files on xxx.aspx it does not show files in grid although grid view contains the attached file in it(on server side) but is not rendering on client side. (its out side of an update panel, so its not an ajax problem).
if we rename the page to something else, say "aaa.aspx", it starts working fine.
so there is something with the xxx.aspx.
what it could be ? any idea?

A: try checking your header on aspx and class on server side
cause when you just rename your asp page the code doesnt change itself so you have to rename also
like this
<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false"
CodeFile="xxx.aspx.vb" Inherits="xxx" Title="Untitled Page" %>

and on your server side
Partial Class xxx
end class

get my point?

Lake Toya
Usuzan West Craters
Newly created by the year 2000 eruption
#4 of 4 most visited in Lake Toya
Kompira crater and Toyako Onsen from the Kompirayama paid observatory
When Mount Usu erupted in March and April 2000, over 60 new craters opened up on the west side of the mountain, expelling huge amounts of smoke several kilometers into the sky and destroying nearby buildings and roads. Today, the area can be viewed from several walking trails.
The Kompirayama Walking Trail starts at the Toyako Visitor Center in Toyako Onsen and leads to the Nishiyama parking lot. Along the way, you can see various ruins, including a destroyed public bath house, apartment block and bridge. The trail also passes two of the largest craters from the 2000 eruption, as well as large erosion control dams. It takes about 40 minutes to complete the walk.
Disrupted road near the Nishiyama parking lot
From the Nishiyama parking lot, the Nishiyama Crater Walking Trail leads to some more of the newly created craters around Mount Nishiyama. Several destroyed buildings, disrupted roads and broken phone poles have been left untouched for visitors to witness the destructive power of the volcano. It is about a ten minute walk from the parking lot to the craters and a further ten minute walk to the trail's southern end, where the ruins of a kindergarten and a second parking lot are located.
Furthermore, there is a paid observatory on top of Mount Kompirayama, which provides panoramic views over Lake Toya and the new craters on the west side of Mount Usu. The observatory is commonly accessed by car (1000 yen per car including passengers), but can also be reached on foot (1000 yen per group of up to four pedestrians). Like the walking trails, the observatory is closed in winter.
Ruins of a bath house and apartment block
The trailhead of the Nishiyama Crater Walking Trail is located a five minute car or bus ride from Toyako Onsen. From Toyako Station, take a bus bound for Toyako Onsen (洞爺湖温泉) and get off at Nishiyama Yuhodo (西山遊歩道, 290 yen one way, about 15 minutes, one bus per hour).

Eeny, Meeny, Miny Mo…Which Way Will Christie Go?
Ann-Marie Murrell Send an email June 5, 2013
With the passing of Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is facing a tough decision. It's his job to appoint a replacement, and this is going to be an interesting time in my home state. Get the popcorn ready and pull up a seat, should be quite the show. However, before he names the replacement, there is a bit of confusion whether this person would serve until this November, or next November, and then there would be a special election. The winner of that election would serve the remaining two months of Lautenberg's term, then start a full term in January of 2015. While the powers that be struggle to figure out this mess, the people of New Jersey are waiting with baited breath to see which way Christie will go.
Frank Lautenberg was a Democrat, so there are those who think it is only "fair" that Christie pick another Democrat to serve in the Senate, and the name that pops up the most is Newark Mayor Cory Booker. Booker had already announced he intended to run for Lautenberg's seat in November 2014. Of course, New Jersey is a bluer than blue state, even though we have a Republican Governor. Obama won here by about 18 points.
On the flip side, those of us on the right are determined to get another Conservative in the Senate, even for the short term. If Christie does go this way there are a few names that appear on a short list: Assemblyman Jon Brammick, State Senator Tom Kean, Jr., Legislator Joe Kyrillos, Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno and Assemblyman Jay Webber. None of these selections are strong Conservatives, save Webber; we really don't grow them in this part of the country. They tend to be more fiscally conservative and socially moderate, or even liberal.
But this is where the real fun begins–Chris Christie is running for re-election right now. His approval numbers are so high, most people have stopped polling and the only Democrat brave (or stupid) enough to run against him is Barbara Buono. I think the last poll I saw had Christie up by a gazillion points (more or less). So we can all say that without a doubt, Christie will get another 4 years as "The Governor". But what about a White House run in 2016? Christie has not come out and said he is throwing his hat in the ring. For now, New Jersey is his priority. However he did have lap-band surgery a few months back and has already lost over 40 pounds. The Garden State governor agreed to the operation at the urging of family and friends after turning 50 last September. "I've struggled with this issue for 20 years," he said. "For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them." He also insisted that, contrary to what observers may say the effort to slim down was not motivated by thoughts of a presidential bid. "It's so much more important than that," he said.
Personally, I'm pretty confident he is thinking of changing his address from Trenton to D.C., but only time will tell. And his current pick might too. Does he do what's best for him now, or look ahead to a POTUS run in 2016? From The Hill:
"The GOP governor risks hurting his favorability among Democrats in this November's gubernatorial election if he appoints a conservative candidate to the seat that Lautenberg, a liberal, held for 30 years. But choosing a strong conservative could boost his fortunes with national Republicans, whose support he'll need if he runs for president in 2016."
Here is my prediction: Christie will wind up on the "right" side of this dilemma. He will choose a Conservative to fill the seat. I'm thinking it's a toss-up between Kean and Kyrillos. He might ruffle a few feathers on the left, but he is willing to take the chance that they will still pull the lever for him come November. He is gunning (yes, I chose that word to mess with liberals) for the big show in 2016. Pass the Raisinetts please!

Too Much of a Good Thing?
Housing First may have gone a long way toward taking homeless individuals off the street, but it's leaving families out in the cold.
By Violet Law -
In Columbus, Ohio, hundreds of homeless people who have spent years living on the street or camping out on the city's riverfront are finding a haven in the new housing programs run by the Community Shelter Board, an independent nonprofit that coordinates funding and delivery of homeless assistance services statewide.
Instead of shuttling the city's homeless from one emergency shelter to the next, or putting them through bureaucratic hoops just to qualify for temporary housing, CSB settles the homeless into housing units for as long as they need to be there. Because most of those being housed are afflicted with addiction or mental illness, supportive services and case management are made available but are not mandated. Since some homeless people are unwilling to accept housing that is contingent upon them receiving treatment, CSB's approach is simply to get homeless people off the street and into a stable, more permanent environment.
Columbus is among the first handful of cities, including Los Angeles and Philadelphia, to house the homeless under this "permanent housing" paradigm, first introduced in 1988 by the Los Angeles-based nonprofit, Beyond Shelter. Known as Housing First, this approach to housing the homeless has garnered much attention. And in the last five years, the Bush administration's Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH) has promoted it as the solution to ending chronic homelessness.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), a "chronically homeless person" is an individual who has been without a home for at least one year and is diagnosed with mental illness or drug or alcohol addiction. Housing First focuses on serving this segment of the homeless population.
While the cities that have adopted Housing First have reported a reduction in their chronic homeless population by the hundreds or even thousands in the last decade, homeless advocates are increasingly alarmed that this solution, executed with little increase in federal funding, is threatening to short-change other homeless populations, such as families with children and teenagers who have aged out of foster care, in favor of one narrowly defined group. "We wish [the Bush administration] had picked up the whole agenda of ending homelessness for all," says Nan Roman, president and chief executive officer of the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH).
According to HUD's first-ever annual homeless assessment report released in late February, there were an estimated 754,000 homeless people nationwide in 2005, of which 23 percent were considered chronically homeless. In January, NAEH released the results of a one-night count that it conducted in 2005. That survey found 744,313 homeless people nationwide, with families making up 41 percent of the overall homeless population.
"You're pitting one segment of the homeless population against another," says Paul Boden, executive director of Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP), a coalition of social-justice-based homelessness organizations on the West Coast. "How can they cut Section 8 but believe in Housing First as a concept? They're cutting housing but doing Housing First. It's not just ironic; it's hypocritical."
Housing First at Its Best
In 1997, with redevelopment pending along Columbus' downtown riverfront, CSB worked to provide suitable housing for the homeless who had long congregated there. The board gained administrative and financial support from the private sector, foundations and city, county and state governments. By 1999, CSB had implemented a new program called Rebuilding Lives. Its goal was to create 800 supportive housing units for the chronically homeless, including those displaced from the riverfront. The residents are treated like tenants; they hold the key and the lease to their individual apartments and are responsible for housekeeping. They can choose to receive services, but turning down help will not keep them from being housed.
Although all of the sites under the Rebuilding Lives program are anchored by the same philosophy-to reacquaint the homeless with whatever it takes to stay housed-they are not identical. Some require all residents to be clean and sober; others tolerate some level of alcohol use as long as it doesn't disturb other residents. In addition to Rebuilding Lives, CSB coordinates street outreach, homelessness prevention and emergency-shelter operations among service providers.
Sunshine Terrace is one of the sites under the Rebuilding Lives program that provides housing to homeless people with addictions or mental illness. A vacated public-housing high-rise converted into permanent supportive housing, Sunshine Terrace has 65 units available to residents for as long as they want to be there.
Shortly after moving into Sunshine Terrace, Maliki Bey and Mike Fox became fast friends, bonding over a desire to put their lives back together. Three years ago, Bey took shelter in a YMCA-run SRO, but being wheelchair-bound, he felt very constrained. It was more like a structured program than supportive housing, he recalls. Under Rebuilding Lives, however, Bey, a former cocaine addict, says he is given the freedom to live independently while getting the case-management services he desires. He has a well-stocked kitchen where he can better manage his diet by cooking his own meals. "I feel like I got my life back. I'm living normally, like most people do," says Bey.
Mike Fox knows his life has changed for the better now that he is in permanent housing. He spent the past several years in and out of emergency shelters and temporary housing. "Shelter is just a place to lay your head and get something to eat," says Fox. But here, "it gives you a sense of self to get back on your feet."
A recovering alcoholic, Fox was determined to turn his life around as soon as he moved into Sunshine Terrace. It wasn't easy. The strain of 30 years of street life and alcoholism finally caught up with him: He underwent five operations, including heart surgery. Yet Fox had the peace of mind knowing that his Sunshine Terrace unit was being held for him while he rehabilitated in a nursing home. When he returned, he started an Alcoholics Anonymous group in the building to help other residents kick the habit.
Even with the apparent success of the Rebuilding Lives program, CSB still acknowledges that other housing options are necessary. But with funding being heavily directed to permanent housing, transitional housing or emergency shelters are being deprived of the resources needed to operate fully.
The Real Debate
While the benefits of permanent housing programs are manifest, some advocates for the homeless are increasingly speaking out against the Bush administration's position that Housing First is the panacea for ending homelessness-especially now that ICH and the administration are seeking to reauthorize the McKinney-Vento Act, which was, in 1986, the first piece of federal legislation to address homelessness. The administration's draft version of the reauthorized legislation calls for making permanent the Samaritan bonus-the current incentive to provide permanent housing for the chronically homeless. Those who oppose this incentive charge that the singular focus on the chronically homeless population is at best a misguided effort to solve the complexities of homelessness by defining it too narrowly and simplistically. Some opponents of the administration's proposed reauthorization bill, mostly from the National Coalition to End Homelessness, support competing legislation introduced in Congress in February, the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act, which they say would allocate homeless assistance funding in a more balanced manner.
The economic rationale for focusing on the chronically homeless-who until now were thought to account for only 10 to 15 percent of the overall homeless population-is based on widely cited research conducted by Dennis Culhane of the University of Pennsylvania on the shelter systems in New York City and Philadelphia. Culhane found that, in these two cities, this subset of the homeless population consumes the majority of the available resources, mostly through emergency shelters. While few advocates dispute those findings, the facts on the ground have shown that by structuring services to focus on a relatively small percentage of the homeless population, the situation for the majority is worsening in a number of cities.
Take Philadelphia. As early as 1989, some local homeless service providers had embraced the Housing First model. Most notable was Sister Mary Scullion. Under the Project H.O.M.E. program that she founded nearly 20 years ago, thousands of homeless people straight from the streets have been settled into permanent housing units. Philadelphia has been extolled as a success in reducing its homeless population and has become a case study for metropolitan areas nationwide. As a result, the city has stopped adding transitional housing and shelter beds over the past five years. Now the shelter system is operating at capacity, leaving many homeless people out in the cold.
"The shelter situation is in a crisis. We've never seen anything as bad before. There are very few shelter beds for women and children. All the beds are full," says Gloria Guard, executive director of People's Emergency Center, a nonprofit agency in Philadelphia that helps homeless women and their children with a range of services, including short-term housing, case management and job training.
"The number of beds has stayed stable and there's no back door. Right now the city is running out of shelter space, so what do we do?" asks Guard. For a city that has been aggressive in tackling its homeless problem for almost two decades, this crisis would not have come about if it were not for the federal funding bias toward permanent housing.
In order to compete for homeless-assistance dollars, many homeless service providers have written their funding requests in a way that emphasizes permanent housing for the chronically homeless, even when other homeless populations may be in greater need or alternative housing options are more appropriate to their particular cities or regions. This frustrates housing advocates like Paul Boden. "Communities are writing their own plan, but the federal government already predetermined the priority," he says.
The HUD budget does offer homeless assistance grants in three other major areas: emergency shelters, transitional housing and supportive services. "Funding for [these three] has suffered more or less because the emphasis has been [to channel] more money to permanent supportive housing," says Doug Rice, a housing policy analyst for the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
And despite all the buzz about the efficacy of permanent housing to solve chronic homelessness, HUD's budget for new permanent housing and all other programs for the homeless has been shrinking. For the 2006 fiscal year, HUD allocated a total of $193 million in homeless assistance grants to new housing and service programs, a 45-percent decrease from FY2003. The two largest funding categories are the Supportive Housing Program and Shelter Plus Care. Federal funding for the Supportive Housing Program, which provides mostly for emergency shelters, transitional housing and supportive services, saw a 53-percent drop, from $245 million in 2003 to $115 million in 2006. Even funding for new permanent housing, funded mostly under Shelter Plus Care, went from $97 million in 2003 to $77 million in 2006. Less than $1 of every $5 in the FY2006 homeless assistance budget went into adding new housing.
The impact of cuts in federal funding is being felt, especially in metropolitan areas where affordable housing is already in short supply. In San Francisco, single-room-occupancy (SROs) hotels occupied by low-income renters are being converted into permanent housing for the chronically homeless, exacerbating the city's housing problems.
"You cannot build and subsidize housing with that miniscule amount of money," says Boden. In suburban and rural areas, where there is no existing SRO supply, shelters and transitional housing that have been serving the homeless well are increasingly coming under pressure to close down or be converted to permanent units.
While most advocates agree that there is a need for permanent housing for the chronically homeless, not everyone is cut out for it. Even with its success with permanent housing, CSB's Barbara Poppe stresses the importance of having other housing options for the homeless. "Permanent housing is very specialized, expensive housing that should be reserved for those with an ongoing need," says Poppe. "There are other housing solutions for other homeless populations. We believe the emergency shelter system…is important; the emergency shelter is the final safety net." According to Paul Boden, "Most people don't choose to live permanently in programs administrated by social workers. That's not their goal in life," he says. "When it's the only form of affordable housing in your community, it's insulting."
It can also be aggravating. "If we don't do something with the affordable-housing crisis, forget about it," says NAEH's Roman. "This is the driver of the homeless problem. We can wring only so much blood out of the stone with the homeless money here."
Meanwhile, advocates contend there is a need for all types of housing for all kinds of homeless people-families with children in tow, elderly, and single individuals with or without a disability or addiction. Hyping a single housing option for one subset of the homeless population is tantamount to treating the symptoms but not the cause of homelessness.
In its recently released report, "Without Housing: Decades of Federal Housing Cutbacks, Massive Homelessness and Policy Failures," WRAP traces how federal funding cuts since the 1980s resulted in the homeless phenomenon we're seeing today. It states that, without restoring lost funding, the federal government's latest campaign to end chronic homelessness will prove as ineffectual as its empty rhetoric.
"The emergence of the Housing First model has occurred simultaneously with a continued assault on public housing, housing subsidies, Section 8," the report reads. Poppe agrees: "The big piece that is missing is that we need more affordable housing available, so people don't need to be homeless in the first place."

Market Needs a "Hail Mary"
If the BIG money saw the debt deal as something that would clear the way for a bipartisan effort to find solutions for reversing our national debt dilemma, yesterday's market would have held its gain.
Without good Q2 earnings, the market would be lower.
Short-term (2-3 months), the bulls have two hopes. One that reports on the economy suddenly reflect stability, better yet renewed strength.
Two, that the Fed employs additional steps to stimulate the economy, including a third round of bond purchases, but at risk of contributing to inflationary pressures.
This is an important week for economic reports and they must make better than ho-hum reading. If disappointing, selling will intensify.
Unfortunately, the "debt deal" does nothing for jobs and the economy, in fact it ensures additional spending on job creators like the infrastructure can't happen.
We get some important economic reports this week. If they reflect stability, even surprising strength, one of the weights on stock prices will be lightened. If weak, the market's slide will quicken.
Wednesday: ADP Employment Report (8:30); Factory Orders and the ISM Non-Manufacturing Reports (10:30 am). Thursday: Jobless Claims (8:30 am); Friday:the Employment Situation (8:30am).
Today: Expect a brief rally assuming the Senate votes for the "debt deal," but another leg down to follow.

Pedro Pitarch's Human Rights in the Maya Region: Global Politics, Cultural Contentions, and Moral Engagements
Heather A. Vrana | Indiana University
Human Rights in the Maya Region: Global Politics, Cultural Contentions, and Moral Engagements. Edited by Pedro Pitarch, Shannon Speed, and Xochitl Leyva Solano. Durham: Duke University Press, 2008. 377 pages. $84.95 cloth, $23.95 paper.
Gone are the heady days when activists and academics alike could turn to human rights appeals as the salve for social injustice in Latin America. This critical terrain has been well covered by scholars who point to such factors as Western bias, NGOs beholden to their own agendas, and even fundamental contradictions between the liberal individualistic notion of rights and indigenous communitarian notions of respect and responsibility. This edited volume by Pedro Pitarch, Shannon Speed, and Xochitl Leyva Solano further develops the ongoing conversation regarding human rights in the Mayan region, by engaging both philosophies of human rights and the application of human rights in local communities. Human Rights in the Maya Region: Global Politics, Cultural Contentions, and Moral Engagements considers the consequences of human rights discourses for indigenous activists through a collection of essays by scholars, activists, indigenous peoples, ladinos, Americans, Guatemalans, and Mexicans.
The text is divided into three sections: "Global Politics and Nation-States," "Cultural Contentions," and "Political Engagements." Representative of the range of contributions is Robert Carmack's essay on the liberal origin of human rights as a concept, and Victoria Sanford's ethnographic field report on oral history in Panzós, Guatemala. Carmack indicates the limits of human rights discourse in supporting indigenous agency through an exposition of the notion of rights as a key component of French and Anglo liberalism, one that developed alongside capitalism and democracy. These methods of conceiving power relationships are often at odds with communitarian indigeneity. Carmack's philosophical contention is brought to bear on the community of Panzós in Alta Verapaz in Sanford's evocative exposition of the challenges of testimonial work. This collected volume steps boldly into the ongoing conversation over transnational activism and representation previously initiated by Charles Hale (2001), Richard Wilson (1997), Margaret Keck and Kathryn Sikkink (1998).
In this case, the multivocal character of an edited volume offers nuance to uncertain questions. There can be no single definition of human rights. For example, as Shannon Speed and Alvaro Reyes indicate in the case of Chiapas, human rights have been variously invoked by the Catholic Church with a religious hue, by the state and liberal NGOs in positivist legalistic terms, and by the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) with an appeal to indigenous rights (282). On the other hand, it is equally impossible to speak of a singular, unified, homogenous "Maya culture" or even a homogenous state. Rachel Sieder's essay challenges transnational efforts toward legal reform that target national governments, writing that their influence tends to be limited when a fragmented state fails to inspire local confidence and is unable to protect citizens on a daily basis (84). This is especially problematic in the case of Guatemala, which does not share the Mexican experience of a strong corporatist state. Taken together, the collected essays argue for a dialogic conception of human rights where human rights ideals and activist infrastructures developed outside of local communities are contested, adapted, and ultimately adopted (or not) by local indigenous actors.
Perhaps it is because of the unfixed nature of the questions at stake that certain shortcomings emerge. One of the book's implicit objectives is a redefinition of the Maya region. But it is not clear, however, whether the authors delimit the region according to current geopolitical borders, linguistic groups, or shared histories of Mayan ancestry and subjugation by the state. Although the volume aims to be comparative, the authors' reluctance to fully problematize community boundaries (whether local, national, or regional) precludes an effective comparative approach. Performance Studies scholars will wish for a more thoroughgoing engagement with various moments of commemoration and embodiment, as the volume remains suggestive rather than exhaustive in this area. In any case, the comprehensive bibliography will prove useful for readers interested in social movements, transnational activism, and postcolonial studies in Latin America.
This book has a curious effect. After twelve essays, there is no single answer to the volume's question, "What is the relationship between 'Maya culture' and human rights?" Yet, in its nuance and good-faith consideration of the implications of scholarly and activist work undertaken "on behalf of" another, this edited volume is inspiring. It leaves the reader with one definitive conclusion: for better or for worse, international human rights discourses are a permanent feature in local, national and international legal, moral, and political agendas.

The boys' basketball team is focused on improvement. Being his second year as Head Coach, Gregg Bayer is proud of his team who has an 11-12 record so far this season.
"We started our season with a lot of ups and downs," Bayer said.
According to Javari Johnson, junior, the team was most challenged by Downers Grove North, a team with many division one athletes. They were able to pull off a win there, and in many other games.
Despite the wins in December, the team had to push even harder in January after losing junior Brandon Shoemaker to an allergic reaction. He was out for a few weeks, but now works even harder to make up for the time he lost on the court.
Even with the set-back, the team has come back stronger than years before.
