The Foundation continues to look “upstream” in all of its impact work, and the progress made in homelessness prevention thus far can be seen in the collaboration among homeless providers towards solving coordinated entry and reallocating resources to create a better system of care.

Newsletter Winter 2013 Page 4 setting the stage for education to flourish The Foundation continues to seek out innovative but proven ways of improving graduation rates for our students. We have renewed our support for CityYear, now in its second year of working to improve the 3 factors that have been determined by education researchers to affect high school graduation rates: chronic absenteeism, disruptive behavior, and poor performance in math and English. When these patterns are identified and changed before students enter high school, the odds that they will graduate are vastly improved. Over a four-year period, an astounding 1 in 5 students in Sacramento County will drop out of high school, which is higher than the state average.

The majority of these studies have focused on the interaction between a local language and a non-local language. In this project, I propose an analysis of the mixture of two world languages (Spanish and English), which can be categorised as both local and non-local. I do this through the analysis of the enormously successful reggaeton genre, which is characterised by its use of Spanglish. I used two data types to inform my research: a corpus of code-switching instances in top 20 reggaeton songs, and a questionnaire on attitudes towards Spanglish in general and in music. I collected 200 answers to the questionnaire – half from American English-speakers, and the other half from Spanish-speaking Hispanics of various nationalities.

New documents on crimes of Lithuanian collaborators during the Second World War / Трагедия Литвы: 1941−1944. Сборник архивных документов. − М: Алексей Яковлев, 2008. − 288 с. − Англ. ISBN 978-5-903588-01-5 The previously unpublished materials from Russian archives shock even 60 years after the events had taken place. Death seems to be a happy deliverance when contemplating the sufferings and torture, that the innocent citizens of Lithuania had to endure during the years of the Nazi occupation. Reading the evidence of the eyewitnesses, one understands, why people would ask for death in order to stop the monstrous torture and insult they were subjected to. Not only the hated Soviet and party functionaries, who were “guilty” of establishing the Soviet regime in Lithuania, not only the Jews who are always “guilty” of everything for the mere reason of being Jewish, but also the Polish, clergy, people with mental disorders, old people, and babies – all of them were totally eliminated. Lithuania was turned into a “factory of death”. The documents in this collection constitute a tiny part of the wealth of material found in the archives of Russia, Lithuania, Germany and other countries.
