Jeg vil også rette en stor takk til min familie, som har støttet meg både moralsk og økonomisk, men også gitt meg en hand med å lese teksten og bearbeide dens språk, deriblant John Kvalvåg, Barbara Jean Bach Berntsen og Marius Berntsen. I extend my deep gratitude towards the friendly and forthcoming members of Northborough Ward of the Boston Stake, Massachusetts, and also the missionaries I had the opportunity to talk with, and especially my uncle and aunt David and Ann Bach for letting me stay with them for two months, eating their food, driving their white Cadillacs, attending church with them, getting to know the works of Bruce R. McConkie and James E. Talmage and presenting to me The Book of Mormon in both English and Norwegian, and not least being given the opportunity to attend a large number of political meetings and visiting Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Neither should I forget to mention Buster the Cat – Thanks for warming my lap all those hours! Må også takke Friedrich Nietzsche, Erich von Däniken og Fjodor Dostojevski for evig inspirasjon.

Projects in development purgatory are not officially cancelled, but progress until development has reached a satisfying state ready for production.

  • A Sea of Charter Schools in Detroit Leaves Students Adrift
    https://nyti.ms/29aYvKH U.S. A Sea of Charter Schools in Detroit Leaves Students Adrift By KATE ZERNIKE JUNE 28, 2016 DETROIT — On the face of it, Ana Rivera could have had almost any choice when it came to educating her two sons. For all the abandoned buildings and burned-down houses in her neighborhood in the southwest part of this city, national charter school companies had seen a market and were setting up shop within blocks of each other, making it easier to find a charter school than to buy a carton of milk. But hers became the story of public education in a city grasping for its comeback: lots of choice, with no good choice. She enrolled her older son, Damian, at the charter school across from her house, where she could watch him walk into the building. He got all A’s and said he wanted to be an engineer. But the summer before seventh grade, he found himself in the back of a classroom at a science program at the University of Michigan, struggling to keep up with students from Detroit Public Schools, known as the worst urban district in the nation. They knew the human body is made up of many cells; he had never learned that. When his school stopped assigning homework, Ms. Rivera tried enrolling Damian at other charters, but the deadlines were past, the applications onerous. Finally, she found him a scholarship at a Catholic school, where he struggled to rise above D’s all year. “He doesn’t want to hear the word engineering,” she said.

  • City Year 2005 Annual Report.Pdf
    C i t y Y e a r Annual Report 2 0 0 5 future leader, future leader, l e a d e r. MISSION City Year’s mission is to build democracy through citizen service, civic leadership and social entrepreneurship. City Year seeks to unite people on the common ground of service, as a way to inspire the active citizenship vital to a strong and vibrant democracy. VISION City Year’s citizen service vision is that one day the most commonly asked question of a young adult will be: “Where are you going to do your service year?” City Year’s civic leadership vision is that one day every citizen will have the skills, values and inspiration to be a leader for the common good. City Year’s social entrepreneurship vision is that one day human inventiveness and compassion will be unleashed to solve the pressing social problems of the day. Dear Friends, City Year was founded in 1988 to tap the idealism of young people to meet pressing public needs and to demonstrate that national service works. We believed then, as we do now, that service could be the meeting ground for young people of diverse backgrounds to make a difference in their communities and that service could be a training ground for developing the leaders essential to a strong democracy. Now, nearly 18 years later, we are humbled by the accomplishments of each class of City Year graduates. Not only have they served more than 13 million hours working with more than 900,000 children and engaging more than 900,000 citizens in service, but also through their efforts on behalf of community and country, they have become leaders for life.

Bob Riley www.siegelman.com www.bobrileyforgovernor.com CM: Josh Hayes CM: Sam Daniels Press: Jim Andrews Press: Leland Whaley Media: Shorr & Assoc. Media: Alfano Productions Saul Shorr Kim Alfano Polls: Hickman Brown Polls: Market Research Institute Harrison Hickman Vern Kennedy Money Raised: $4.2 million (as of 9/30) Money Raised: $3.4 million (as of 9/30) Last Race (1998) Pop. Vote Vote % Don Siegelman (D) 760,155 58% Fob James (R) 554,746 42% Race Outlook: TOSS-UP Thanks to budget problems, an ethics investigation and charges that he’s funneled state contracts to friends and campaign donors, Gov. Don Siegelman is fighting to keep his job against Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Riley. Recent polls have consistently shown the two in a statistical dead heat, however, as recently as May, Siegelman was down 8 points to Riley. Clearly, this is not good for a first-term governor who won his last election by 16 points. A mid-September University of Alabama-Birmingham poll had Riley up 45-43% while an early September University of Southern Alabama poll showed Riley ahead 44-41%. Riley has hammered away at Siegelman’s ethics problems which include fees he’d received from his law firm while running the state (after an investigation, he was cleared) and giving state contracts to political cronies without bids from others. One of Riley’s ads boasts that he wants to “end corruption,” he’s “an honest leader,” and he kept his term-limits promise; another features an endorsement from his wife - Siegelman has stayed afloat by attacking his challenger on a variety of issues.
