You also need to grow and nurture your network to keep it fresh!Networking isn't about seeing who can collect the most business cards. How many times have you attended an event, and then let the pile of cards sit on your desk? Have you ever gone back through the cards and wondered what the person looked like who gave you their card? Wouldn't it feel awkward to call that person up when you don't even remember meeting them or what they look like? Chances are, the cards will end up in the trash.In order to network more effectively, it helps to have a plan of attack BEFORE the event. Here are some ways to plan ahead:* Set a goal.

The past can be painful, but in California, it can be rewritten. At issue is what sixth graders will learn about Hinduism in their ancient history textbooks.

Claiming that eight social studies/history textbooks under review by the California Board of Education misrepresent Hinduism, two Hindu groups have approached the board with edits during its public review process last year.
The textbooks are “inaccurate and demeaning” said Janeshwari Devi, director of programs at the Vedic Foundation, which she described as a Hindu educational group with no political affiliations. She pointed to specific references in the history textbooks proposed for 6th-graders, that describe Hinduism’s voluntary class system, “the varna system of social structure,” with the discrimination associated with casteism. (See ”What’s at stake” for a look at controversial passages.)
As per state law, the textbooks slated for inclusion in the state curriculum in 2006 can be reviewed by the board of education before adoption. The board is similarly bound to invite public opinion. In October, armed with several proposed edits and thousands of signatures gathered online, the Vedic Foundation and the Hindu Educational Foundation challenged the eight history textbooks being evaluated.
“Hinduism and its origins are, on the whole, not portrayed inaccurately, but there are quite a number of individual mistakes, infelicities and insensitivities, which have been recognized and addressed by all committees involved,” said Michael Witzel, the Wales Professor of Sanskrit at Harvard University.
“The errors in the textbooks perpetuate ignorance and put forth a negative stereotype,” said the Vedic Foundation’s Janeshwari Devi.
Hindu children in predominantly white schools are teased because of mistakes in current textbooks, according to the two Hindu foundations and their parent backers. Ancient Hinduism is presented as a pagan, pantheistic religion according to the plaintiffs.
For instance, said Devi, references to the treatment of the “untouchable” caste by Brahmins is a misrepresentation of the ancient past. Similarly, ancient Hinduism did not discriminate against women. “Modern social ills have no place” in these books, she said. The depiction of Hindus, Hinduism and India is Eurocentric and wrong, according to the objectors. (See sidebar and external links for examples.)

Trim Your Oaks NOW! Winter Pruning is Best to Protect Your Investment!
Are there any trees? A question often asked by clients as they start searching for a home. Many Minnesota farms have been developed into single family housing developments. While the flat open land was desirable for farming, it does not have the privacy and up north feel of a wooded lot with mature oaks. If you are fortunate to have mature oak trees on your property, protect your investment! What is Oak Wilt? Oak wilt is a disease caused by a fungus which attacks the central system of the tree from the roots to the leaves. The tree attempts to block the fungus, but also blocks all water and nutrients to the branches and leaves. Eventually, the trees leaves wilt and it dies. Oak wilt spreads through the root systems of near by trees and by fungus beetles that carry the oak wilt spores from tree to tree.

Modern Day Liberal Agenda VS Past Period Liberal Founding Father Definitions
In the days of our Founding Fathers the definition of a Liberalism is light-years apart to how the definition is applied today to the modern liberal. The Modern Liberal is very much socialist leaning and simply does not fit the definition of liberalism.For a Modern Day Liberal to hold to point to the principles of Liberals of past periods as the basis for their belief in their present period endeavors is quite frankly in my opinion BS, utter non-sense, poppycock and complete hokum, because that is a spit in the face to our leaders of past period.Indeed the present period modern day liberal breaks all the principles of those definitions of liberalism. In fact the hypocrisy of the modern day liberal and their followers and their actions in government, education and society is causing the exact things that the past period liberals would loathe.Many be

Father of a first grader, Agarwal is actively following the events leading up to the board’s decision. “The current textbooks in use are by the same publishers and have practically the same verbiage [as the current books]. We cannot change the past, but at least I am trying to ensure that my son does not read these ‘new’ textbooks that will be inflicted on millions of public school children,” he said.
The groups’ involvement has some parents up in arms, however. Most agree that the textbooks could stand some correction where basic facts are wrong, but a strident faction has said that the two foundations do not speak for moderate Hindus.
“Just as Christian fundamentalist supporters of creationism or intelligent design do not represent all Christians’ views on evolution, so Hindu extremists and their affiliates do not represent all Hindus’ views,” said Mira Kamdar, a senior fellow at the World Policy Institute a think tank at the New School, N.Y.
In November, three days before the state board passed the proposed edits, they received a counter petition signed by 50 American and international scholars from Witzel, who is also the editor of the Harvard University Press’ Harvard Oriental Series.
“The real issue at stake is the correct depiction of ancient history, according to the current state of the art,” said Witzel. “The two foundations involved have proposed edits that would rewrite Indian history and Hinduism according to their narrow sectarian and nationalistic bias, which is not allowed by California standards for textbooks.”
Acknowledging at the Nov. 9 meeting that the “issues were very complicated,” Ruth E. Green, president of the California Board of Education, said they were poised to accept 499 out of the 600 plus proposed edits. Sue Stickel, deputy superintendent of the curriculum and instruction branch of the Sacramento County Office of Education, said that the publishers of the textbook should include supplementary materials. However, because of Witzel and his colleagues’ concerns, the board halted its review.
In January, the board invited Witzel and Shiva Bajpai of California State University, Northridge, a Hindu scholar supported by the Vedic Foundation, for a closed-session meeting.
The board will review the edits and release a final report in March.
In the meantime, however, Hindu children are not at risk from current textbooks, according to Rebecca Bigler, a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, and leading researcher of social cognit
