    DC needs a pizza party to mend fences: GOP pro - October 18, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Mending fences on Capitol Hill? Start with the pizza: Pro

    Jim Nussle, The Nussle Group, and Steven Rattner, Willett Advisors chairman, weigh in on the future of the debt crisis and whether to expect another budget battle.

    The first thing Republicans and Democrats need to do is rebuild goodwill and "get to know each other" again following the latest bruising debt fight, former White House budget director Jim Nussle told CNBC on Friday.

    "Let's start with the pizza" and then get down to the work to find solutions to the nation's debt problems, said Nussle, who served as director of the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush.

    Nussle spoke on "Squawk Box" a day after President Barack Obama challenged Republicans to "win an election" if they want to overturn his policies.

    Despite the tough talk, "the president is totally capable of negotiating" with Republicans, said Steven Rattner, who served as Obama's car czar.

    This week's eventual compromise to extend the debt ceiling until Feb. 7 and reopen the government with funding until Jan. 15 was a "teachable moment," he said. "I think we have learned the American people do not believe in using the debt ceiling as a negotiating tool."

    "The American people have [also] said, 'no mas,' to trying to get rid of Obamacare through the back door," said Rattnerreferring to Republican attempts to use the debt ceiling and the government shutdown as leverage to defund or delay the president's health-care law.

    Friends, family of Ethan Kadish swing for the fences - October 15, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    LOVELAND, OH (FOX 19) -

    Friends and family of Ethan Kadish are coming together and swinging for the fences at Loveland Middle School.

    Ethan is recovering at Cincinnati's Children's hospital after being struck by lightning at a summer camp near Indianapolis. On June 29, at Goldman Union Camp Institute, Ethan was teaching a group of younger children how to play ultimate frisbee when he was struck.

    The initial strike caused Ethan to go into cardiac arrest.

    On Sunday, dozens showed up for a Home Run Derby competition. All proceeds raised from the event went to a non-profit organization helping Ethan's family with uninsured accident-related expenses.

    "We are so appreciative of the level of support and compassion that we have seen from our community of Loveland, from the Greater Cincinnati community and from all around," said Alexia Kadish, Ethan's mother.

    "Everyone's joining Team Ethan and supporting him. Ethan has always been a team player, and now he's captain of a very large team that's going to continue to root him on as he continues to heal and recover with his therapy," explains Scott Kadish, Ethan's father.

    Fences and farmers: LGU efforts in education reforms - October 13, 2013 by Mr HomeBuilder

    MANILA, Philippines In Asturias, Cebu, private organizations helped the local government build more schools. But Mayor Alan Adlawan saw something else was missing: school fences.

    He could've tapped their partners again to ask for more help. But he believed in his community and in what it can do. So while it took much prodding, he eventually convinced students and teachers to conduct fund raising concerts to build the much-needed fences.

    We make the school earn, Adlawan shared during a workshop on basic education policy reforms on Thursday, October 10, in Pasig City. (READ: LGUs told: Graduates need not always head to Manila)

    The workshop was organized by ULAP or Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines, the umbrella organization of all local government leagues.

    Over the course of two months, ULAP consulted with 26 local government units (LGUs) in the country to identify issues in local education.

    Results of the consultations showed that supply issues remain to be a concern on the ground despite the Department of Education's (DepEd) efforts to close backlogs in classrooms, teachers, books, comfort rooms and classroom seats, among others.

    League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) president Sandy Javier said basic education needs are lacking in many LGUs, especially the poorest ones.

    Fortunately, more LGUs are taking up the responsibility of improving the quality of education in the country. In fact, before the workshop started, about 50 local chief executives pledged to be champions of education reform.
