Today the foun- dation that lives off his wealth is a hotbed of trendy, left-wing thinking and grant- making. It funds efforts to hurt the lumber industry, turn schools into union-controlled sources of Democratic Party patronage, block Americans’ gun rights, and constrict economic freedoms.

    The Joyce Foundation 2004 Annual Report A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Henry Adams 8 President’s Letter 10 Education 44 Employment 45 Environment 46 Gun Violence 47 Money and Politics 48 Culture 49 Grants Approved 65 Financial Statements 73 2005 Program Guidelines 48 Fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, America’s schools still fail to provide many poor and minority children with a quality education. 2 3 A big part of the problem: poor and minority children are much more likely than other children to have teachers who are inexperienced, uncertified, or teaching subjects they were not trained to teach. 4 5 Yet hope exists: over time, effective teachers can erase the achievement gap and help kids learn. 6 7 In each of the Foundation’s programs, our priorities are shaped by what the research identifies as the most effective strategies to address social challenges. Our goal is to identify and promote evidence-based public policies that will improve the lives of Midwest citizens. The Foundation’s board has identified six broad categories of issues that have an impact on our region: education, the environment, employment, gun violence, money and politics, and culture. When determining what to fund within these categories, we consider the president’s letter severity of a problem, our ability to identify a possible solution, and the likelihood that our resources can make Among the central challenges facing our nation today is how to provide high-quality education and a difference. The projects that we fund almost always include some of the following: training to the next generation of adults.

BOGUS* This Symposium not only brings together the most impressive collection of scholars ever to address the Second Amendment but represents something of an historical event as well. A short description of the history and politics of Second Amendment scholarship is necessary to explain why that is so. If there is such a thing as settled constitutional law, the Second Amendment may have been its quintessential example. The United States Supreme Court addressed the Amendment three' times-in 1876,2 1886,3 and 19394-and on each occasion held that it granted the people a right to bear arms only within the militia.' Although in some circles today there is much discussion about what the word "militia" means, the Supreme Court had no trouble with the term.

We are especially interested in improving public policies, because public systems such as education and welfare directly affect the lives of so many people, and because public policies help shape private sector decisions about jobs, the environment, and the health of our communities. To ensure that public policies truly reflect public rather than private interests, we support efforts to reform the system of financing election campaigns. What really matters? What really matters?

Thomas Paine.” -- The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty (2005) From the book: A Primer on How to Defend Our We need to recognize that gun control is a progressive idea. If we don’t understand what progressivism is, then how can we understand the Most Important Right basis for gun control proposals and refute and defeat them? Because the left controls the terms of the debate, the issue has been framed in such a way that we lose. The true purposes of the Second James Ostrowski Amendment are ignored or obfuscated, and smoke screens and red herrings degrade the debate. Never forget that the gun control movement, the government gun monopoly movement in America is, at best, a dangerous ideological delusion, and at worst, a sinister hoax and conspiracy, a movement that claims to abhor gun violence but which has as its core mission to use guns against peaceful law-abiding people to leave them defenseless against murderers, rapists and dictators.

Merkel This dissertation analyzes the contextual background, drafting history, text, original understanding, interpretive evolution, and contemporary judicial application of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The dissertation develops the argument that as originally understood, the Second Amendment protected a right to keep and bear arms closely linked to and dependent upon service in the lawfully established militia. Two recent United States Supreme Court decisions, Heller v. District of Columbia and MacDonald v. City of Chicago, depart from this original understanding and recognize a constitutional right to weapons possession for purposes of purely private self- defense – particularly self-defense in the home.

    Transformative Change Initiative LEARNING LAB Scaling Innovations for Future Impact BALTIMORE, MARYLAND • FEBRUARY 17-18, 2015 Welcome Dear Colleagues, We would like to welcome you to the 2015 Transformative Change Initiative Learning Lab! We are delighted to be joined by all four rounds of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) consortia grantees, evaluators, employers and industry association representatives, policymakers, and other strategic partners for two days of thought-provoking discussions to advance the scaling of innovations to grow impact. We want to thank the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Joyce Foundation, and Lumina Foundation for their continued generous support for this event. This year’s Learning Lab will highlight and celebrate the “faces of transformative change,” individuals who have successfully graduated from programs of study, earned credentials, and have received or advanced in family-sustaining wage jobs, all while navigating the demands of living, working and learning. The stories of these remarkable students renew our collective commitment to real and meaningful change. Behind every success story stands caring, supportive, and wise professionals who work diligently to reform higher education and help to build a skilled and qualified workforce. We encourage you to use your time in Baltimore to celebrate your transformative stories with colleagues as we continue to cultivate the TCI Network that is dedicated to scaling impact. With all four rounds of TAACCCT funding
