    Key Questions for the Review of the Process for Setting NAAQS ! Timeliness of the NAAQS review process " What are your views on the timeliness and efficiency of the current process for both EPA's and CASAC's reviews of the air quality criteria and the NAAQS, in terms of the time that is spent between the start of the review and the publication of the Agency's proposed decisions on the standards? " Can you identify structural changes to the process and/or key documents (e.g., the Criteria Document, Staff Paper, Risk Assessment) or changes in the Agency's management of the process that could shorten this timeframe while preserving an appropriately comprehensive, transparent and policy-relevant review and allowing adequate opportunities for CASAC review and advice and for public comment on these documents? ! Consideration of the most recent available science " To enhance the Agency's ability to take the best and most recent available science into account in making decisions on the standards, can you suggest changes in the process and/or key documents that could shorten the time between the presumptive cutoff date for scientific studies evaluated in the review and reaching proposed decisions on the standards, or that could otherwise facilitate appropriate consideration of more recent studies? ! Distinctions between science and policy judgments " Recognizing that decisions on the standards, while based on the available science, also require policy judgments by the Administrator, what are your views on how clearly scientific information, conclusions,

  • 2015 Interview.Pdf
    Interview from Spew, #87 February 2015 (originally published in abridged form) 2014’s triple disc behemoth Harshest Realm is the self-titled debut release of a musical project spearheaded by one Garret Kriston, a Chicago based musician whose formative years were split between formal studies and basement recording before toiling within the city’s DIY/punk scene. Now he has emerged with a sprawling document of what surely is a vast arsenal of artistic capabilities. Harshest Realm is now available via Coolatta Lounge CDs, along with fellow traveler Marshall Stacks’s latest jammers Lost in Sim City and the Snake Eyes/Point Blank single. ___________________________________________ Let’s start by giving the folks at home some background information. I’m particularly interested in learning how your relationship with music has developed over the years, so as to better understand where the music on the Harshest Realm album came from. No problem. I’m going to not hold back from rattling off influences and favorites, if that’s okay. Totally. The more the merrier. I was born at home on March 3rd, 1990 in Oak Park, down the street from Chicago’s west side, near Harlem between Harrison and Roosevelt. My earliest memory of music was seeing archival footage of The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show, which made playing guitar in a band and singing original songs seem like the most appealing activity in existence. I might have been two going on three, and I don’t remember much else from then besides puking in my crib and seeing carrots in it (the puke.) My older brother was discovering “classic rock,” so there were rock related bootleg VHS tapes in the house that would get played over and over.

  • Introduction
    ALIGNMENT OF STANDARDS AND BENCHMARKS INTRODUCTION 1 ALIGNMENT OF STANDARDS AND BENCHMARKS Building a Strong Foundation for School Success Kentucky’s Early Childhood Standards Introduction First developed in 2003, by a state wide work group of representative stake holders in the arena of Early Childhood, these standards are designed as a framework to assist parents, early care, intervention, and education professionals, administrators, and others in understanding what children are able to know and do from birth through four years of age. This “content for learning” (Kendall, 2003) will enable early care and education professionals and others to become more knowledgeable in providing the experiences to help children reach their full potential. Kentucky, like many other states, has realized the importance of developing a shared set of expectations for young children, drawn from current research, to provide the foundation for competencies critical to ensuring later academic success (MA Dept. of Ed., 2001; MO Dept. of Ed., 2002: Prichard, 2000). The vision for Kentucky’s young children and their families is that “all young children are healthy and safe, possess the foundation that will enable school and personal success, and live in strong families that are supported and strengthened within their communities” (Governor’s Early Childhood Task Force, 1999). Kentucky envisions learning as a continuum, beginning at birth and continuing throughout life. This is reflected in the strong alliances among early childhood educators, public school administrators, institutions of higher education, parent associations and the business community (Prichard Committee, 2003). 2 ALIGNMENT OF STANDARDS AND BENCHMARKS Kentucky’s Vision For School Readiness In 2010 The Governor’s Task Force on Early Childhood Development and Education established Kentucky’s definition for school readiness that meets the interests and needs of all children, families and community.
