buy textbooks online, Review "Reginald Green delivers everything the title of his book promises: Effecting a connection between theory and practice in leadership and providing an innovative strategy for doing so. However, he exceeds his promise by leading the reader through a comprehensive overview of the field of educational administration."-- John I. Goodlad, President, Institute for Educational Inquiry. "As expectations of schools increase, the job of the school principal grows ever more complex. Reginald Green's book is a valuable resource for those concerned with developing leadership for 21st century schools that are collaborative, learning-focused, and successful with a wide range of diverse learners."-- Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University. "Dr. Green has created numerous, practical scenarios to help aspiring school leaders apply the ISLLC standards in day-to-day situations.These scenarios will encourage higher order reflections so crucial to a school leader's success, as designed, Dr. Green's activities and scenarios will be superb practice for students preparing to take the ISLLC/ETS school leaders licensure assessment. In addition to the practicality for students, the exercises provided to assist professors will enhance their classes and field experiences. I can hardly wait to put the ideas in this book to use with my students. The only problem is all the professors in our department will be competing for it!"-- Neil J. Shipman, EdD., Director, Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium. This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Consumers should not use these products even if they do not look or smell spoiled. Consumers with these products should dispose of them by double bagging in plastic bags that are tightly closed before being placed in a trash receptacle for non-recyclable trash outside of the home, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Additional instructions for safe disposal can be found at www.cdc.gov/botulism/botulism_faq.htm.

�There is nothing more important to us than the health of those who use our products every day,� said Steve Mavity, SVP Technical Services/Quality Assurance for Castleberry�s. �We are taking every step necessary, and are working hand in hand with health officials around the clock to ensure the safety of consumers.�

Mavity said, �We believe we have isolated the issue to a situation of under-processing on one line of our production facility. As an extra precaution to the recall we announced on Wednesday, we have shut down this line altogether and are recalling all products produced on it.�

Castleberry�s is working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate possible contamination of these products.

Castleberry�s was notified by the FDA of two confirmed botulism cases and two potential botulism cases involving individuals who ate Hot Dog Chili Sauce products. No new cases have been reported since the recall was announced on July 18.

There have been no reported illnesses linked to Natural Balance canned pet food, but Castleberry�s recommends that all these products should be discarded. While botulism can affect some pets, dogs and cats are inherently resistant. The disease has only been seen occasionally in dogs and has not been reported in cats. Ferrets are highly susceptible to botulinum toxin. The incubation period can be two hours to two weeks; in most cases, the symptoms appear after 12 to 24 hours. Botulism is characterized by progressive motor paralysis. Typical clinical signs may include muscle paralysis, difficulty breathing, chewing and swallowing, visual disturbances and generalized weakness may also occur. Death usually results from paralysis of the respiratory or cardiac muscles. Pet owners who have used these products and whose pets have these symptoms should contact their veterinarian immediately.

Consumers with any questions should visit Castleberry�s Web site (www.castleberrys.com). A toll-free hotline is also available for consumer questions at 1-800-203-4412 or 1-888-203-8446.
