Faculty Profile: Julie Theoret
Professor of Mathematics Julie Theoret came to Johnson State College in the fall of 2008. A native of Vermont (Essex Junction), Julie did her undergraduate work at the University of Vermont, where she "briefly flirted with the idea of being an engineer," before deciding math and mathematics education were a better fit.
After getting her PhD in non-associative algebra at the University of Virginia, she taught for a year at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania. She then moved on to Lyndon State College in Lyndonville, VT, where she taught for eight years.
Her Vermont roots made staying in the state attractive, and when she was offered a position at Johnson State (which was closer to her family in Chittenden County) she accepted. "I really enjoy teaching in the Vermont State Colleges system," explains Julie. "I like the small size of the faculty and student communities, as well as the variety of students in my classes."
Julie's current academic research focuses on mathematics education. She and a colleague recently completed an article on incorporating online discussion in a statistics class as part of a larger writing-across-the-curriculum strategy. She expects that her future research projects will also look at different topics within mathematics education.
When not pursuing her academic interests, Julie is an avid fan of the theater — as a viewer, but also as a participant. "I was in the last two musical theater productions at Lyndon State College," she explains. "It was really fun, as well as a great way to connect with students." She's excited to get involved in theater at JSC, too. "That's another great thing about teaching at a small college — getting involved in things like theater are possible."

With more than a day to go before the opening of Musikfest, a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks today will practice a ceremonial ritual aimed at bringing environmental healing to Handwerkplatz, in the final days of the 2011 festival.
The monks of Drepung Loseling Monastery, the Center for Tibetan Studies in Atlanta, will be in Bethlehem until Monday as the festival's artists in residence, according to an ArtsQuest news release.
During that time, the monks will be creating a 9-foot-by-9-foot mandala sand painting – "Amitayus" – at Handwerkplatz. Amitayus is one of the deities of long life in Tibetan Buddhism.
"The mural will be meticulously crafted using thousands upon thousands of grains of colored sand, signifying environmental healing at the site," the news release says.
Handwerkplatz – the festival home of crafters, artists and artisans – is one of two platzes in the Colonial Industrial Quarter along the banks of the Monocacy Creek.
Heavy rains caused the creek to on the next to last day of Musikfest 2011, damaging merchandise and forcing ArtsQuest to close Handwerkplatz and neighboring Volksplatz for the festival's last two days.
Nonetheless, the crafters for this year's festival.
At noon today, the public is invited to join the monks for a special ceremony preparing the site for the mandala – a sacred and spiritual art form in the Buddhist tradition.
During the ritual, there will be music, meditation and mantras as the monks evoke spiritual forces. At the conclusion, the Lamas will then begin the process of sketching and creating the mandala, a process expected to take several days.
At the conclusion of their residency, the monks will carefully sweep away the sand from the mandala, sharing it with the audience and depositing the remainder into the Monocacy Creek, symbolizing the impermanence of life.
The event will take place during a closing ceremony, set for Aug. 6 at 7 p.m.

There's got to be only a certain number of times that being handsome and diving behind the nearest sand dune will be enough to save Richard Engel's life and limbs, but I'll resist counting down his nine lives. I've been taking the deaths of war correspondents seriously since Sean Flynn disappeared in Cambodia before Engel was born. My uncle was an Army photographer in World War II and the one thing scarier than storming an enemy post shooting bullets is doing it shooting pictures. I am unabashedly in awe of every man and woman who reports from a war zone. This morning's news from NBC came as a complete shock.
NBC and the rest of the mainstream media intentionally kept quiet about the kidnapping of Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and his four-man crew in Syria. It is believed that if journalists' captures are not publicized, there is a greater chance they will be freed, but in Syria this is a risky assumption. Early in the revolution, foreign journalists were targeted by the regime.
Last Thursday, Engel and his crew were being driven through what they believed to be rebel-held territory in Syria in the company of a few rebel soldiers. Fifteen members of the regime-loyal Shabiha militia suddenly ambushed their vehicle, literally dropping out of the trees to surround the vehicle. One rebel soldier was executed on the spot and Engel and his crew were bound, blindfolded and placed in another vehicle. Engel reported that the militia were Shiite Muslims trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They also have ties to Hezbollah, the terrorist group that is dominant in Lebanon. Leave it to Engel to manage to interview his captors while being interrogated.
The captives were moved several times, subjected to interrogations, threatened repeatedly with death. During their interrogations, the militiamen would hold up guns, let the captives know the guns were in proximity to their heads and then fire them into the air next to the captives' heads. They weren't physically tortured, but in Engel's words, "psychologically tortured." Engel was traveling with his producer, Ghazi Balkiz, cameraman John Kooistra and two others who have not been identified.
The captives were told that the plan was to exchange Engel and his crew for four Iranian agents and two Lebanese Shabiha members who were being held by the rebels. It was a unrealistic plan because there is not a true central authority for the Syrian rebels and it is difficult at best to determine who is holding any captives or who to negotiate with.
Monday night, while transporting their captives to yet another holding site, the militia blundered into a checkpoint manned by the rebel Ahrar al-Sham Brigade. In the ensuing firefight, two of the militiamen were killed and Engel and his crew freed. They crossed into Turkey early Tuesday morning, local time.
The three appeared together on the Today show by live link from Antakya, Turkey. "It's good to be here. I am very happy that we're able to do this live shot this morning," Engel said. "They made us choose which one of us would be shot first, and when we refused, there were mock shootings. They pretended to shoot Ghazi several times. When you're blindfolded and then they fire the gun up in the air, it can be a very traumatic experience."
Ignoring orders to be silent, the men "…kept each other's spirit's up" Balkiz said. Kooistra told the Today crew, "I made good with my Maker. I made good with myself. I was prepared to die, many times."
During their captivity, there was no claim of responsibility by any group nor a demand for ransom from the captors.
Engel has lived in the Middle East since graduating from Stanford with a degree in International Relations in 1996. In addition to his fluency in Arabic, Engel speaks Spanish and Italian. He began his journalism career as a freelancer, finally hired by NBC fulltime in 2003. NBC learned during the first Gulf War with correspondent Arthur Kent that journalists can become victims of PTSD. CNN's Mick Weir retired because of his severe PTSD after years in the heart of the Iraq and Afghan Wars. Engel-watchers (unsurprisingly mostly female) are aware of how often NBC pulls him from front line assignments, brings him back to the States, rotates his locations. He has been unapologetically pro-rebel for the two years he's been covering the Arab Spring, but his understanding of the people, culture and history of the entire region makes him one of the best war correspondents possible in these times.
Engel might want to consider keeping that beard he started growing during his captivity. Makes him look downright dashing and slightly dangerous.

Presentation by Kshama Sawant, Socialist Alternative Candidate for Seattle City Council.

Chris Mobley reports from Seattle where a revolutionary socialist challenger for a seat on the City Council has surged into a narrow lead. Reprinted from SocialistWorker.org
SOCIALIST ALTERNATIVE candidate Kshama Sawant had a narrow lead over four-term incumbent Democrat Richard Conlin in an election for a seat on the Seattle City Council, as of November 13–a stunning result for a revolutionary socialist and a powerful symbol of the discontent with the political status quo.
Washington state votes by mail, and a majority of ballots typically come in after Election Day, since votes are accepted as long as they were postmarked by that day. As of the end of Wednesday, Sawant was ahead by 402 votes, with some 13,000 ballots still to be counted, according to the latest announcement from election officials.
The results could still turn against Sawant, but momentum is on her side–she has had the edge in each round of counting in the days since Election Day on November 5, helping her to overcome what appeared to be a narrow defeat based on where the vote count stood on election night.
Even while trailing on election night, however, it was clear that Sawant and Socialist Alternative candidate Ty Moore, who lost by just 229 votes in an election for city council in Minneapolis, have scored breakthroughs. Well before Election Day, Danny Westneat, a columnist for the mainstream Seattle Times daily newspaper, summed up the electrifying impact of these campaigns: "The election isn't for 10 days, but we can already declare the big winner in Seattle. It's the socialist."
Westneat pointed out that Sawant was responsible for Democrats like Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and his victorious challenger in last week's election, Ed Murray, suddenly declaring their support for left-wing initiatives such as the Fight for 15 organizing drive for low-wage workers. As Westneat concluded:
You can't look at the stagnant pay, declining benefits and third-world levels of income disparity in recent years and conclude this system is working. For Millennials as a group, it has been a disaster. Out of the wreckage, left-wing or socialist economic ideas, such as the "livable wage" movement in which government would seek to mandate a form of economic security, are flowering.
Sawant's edge in the late-arriving ballots is another indicator of the grassroots energy that made her campaign stand out, as David Goldstein, writing in The Stranger, an alternative weekly newspaper, explained:
Part of [the reason Sawant is winning in each day of counting after Election Day has] to do with demographics; younger voters tend to vote late and more lefty. Part of it has to do with hard work; Sawant's impressive grassroots campaign had a couple hundred volunteers calling voters and knocking on doors to get out her vote, while Conlin had little ground game at all. And part of it has to do with momentum; voter preferences shift over time, and her surprisingly strong campaign clearly moved support in Sawant's favor.
The final vote totals are scheduled to be certified on November 26, but the uncertainty could go on longer with the possibility of a recount if the margin of victory remains closer than 0.5 percent and 2,000 votes.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
THE SUCCESS of the Socialist Alternative campaigns is directly connected to their roots in grassroots struggles.
In Minneapolis, Ty Moore made the Occupy MN Homes movement–with its call for a moratorium on foreclosures and a ban on police carrying out evictions–central to his campaign for a city council seat representing an area under assault by gentrification.
In Seattle, Sawant, an economics professor and respected activist, focused on several key issues to galvanize support from working people and the left. Building on the energy of the national Fight for 15 campaign to organize low-wage workers in restaurant and retail, Sawant positioned herself as the candidate who supported a living wage for all.
The popularity of the Fight for 15 demand was dramatized in SeaTac, a Seattle suburb where the regional airport is located. A union-backed ballot measure–bitterly opposed by business interests–that would mandate a $15-an-hour minimum wage for airport and hotel workers was winning as of November 13, though by only 19 votes at the latest count.
Sawant also focused on proposals for rent control in a city where rents have risen by 6 percent in just the last year alone, on top of increases year after year, according to Reis, which compiles and sells data to the commercial real-estate industry.
She also advocated for a tax on millionaires, in a state with no income tax, to fund mass transit and other infrastructure improvements. This call is especially timely with the local public transit agency, King County Metro, planning to cut bus service by as much as 20 percent next year.
Gaining the endorsements of several unions and social justice organizations, as well support from prominent local activists, the campaign was able to mobilize several hundred volunteers, who covered the city with distinctive "Vote Sawant" posters. Though far outspent by her opponent, Sawant did raise more than $100,000, mainly from small contributions.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
SAWANT AND those who worked for her ran an effective campaign, but her success is the result of tapping into voter discontent with the political status quo, particularly in a liberal city like Seattle.
According a recent Gallup poll, Democrats and Republicans have reached an all-time low in public opinion–only 26 percent of Americans believe the two mainstream parties do "an adequate job of representing the American people." Some 60 percent said there was a need for a third major party.
In Seattle, where the Democrats predominate, this discontent translated into heavy press interest in Sawant. She won an endorsement from The Stranger before her strong showing in the August primary election–the alt-weekly wrote in an article headlined "The Case for Kshama Sawant": "Sawant offers voters a detailed policy agenda, backed up by a coherent economic critique and a sound strategy for moving the political debate in a leftward direction."
After coming in a close second in August, Sawant continued to pick up broad support, including a small group of "Democrats for Sawant"–a stark symbol of the bitterness with the incumbent Conlin, who has a long record of pandering to business interests. Sawant won backing from local hip-hop artists and several prominent local activists, notably left-wing journalist Geov Parrish. Sawant also got support from immigrant political organizations, including the Somali American Public Affairs Council. In the final weeks of the campaign, volunteers made a push to hold "100 rallies for Sawant."
As a socialist challenger in a liberal city against a Democratic opponent, Sawant was able to avoid one of the key difficulties that third party candidates typically face: the so-called "spoiler effect." Without a Republican in the election, the Democrat Conlin wasn't able to browbeat his party's much more liberal base into supporting him as a "lesser evil."
Now, Sawant stands a good chance of taking a seat for four years on the nine-member City Council. This will open up a new opportunity for the left–both Sawant and Moore pledged that they would use the resources of their offices to assist grassroots struggles involving workers, the oppressed, immigrants and the community.
There will be more days of vote-counting to come, but the Sawant campaign has already accomplished an enormous amount by proving that there is a thirst for an alternative to the status quo–and that socialists can confidently put forward a different vision for society, knowing it will connect with the aspirations of more and more people.

The Queer Avengers (Wellington) are holding a solidarity action with Chelsea Manning on 2pm Saturday the 7th of September, at the US Embassy [Facebook event]
For the most part, gender minorities operating in the public sphere are recognised by their gender first and the content of their work second. This is why Rolling Stone articles on"Women Who Rock" kettle together artists as musically and lyrically diverse as Taylor Swift, Missy Elliott and Sleater-Kinney, as though 'woman' is a subgenre of music. Even at comparatively progressive activist events, cisgender women and transgender people—particularly trans* women—rarely dominate the overall speaker line-up. Rather, they are given separate sessions to discuss sexism and/or transphobia, implying that these issues are only problems for the oppressed parties in question.
In contrast, issues like mass surveillance and military crimes are framed as issues that everyone should be concerned about, evidenced recently by the scale of controversy around the NSA leaks and the recently-passed GCSB Bill. This is not to say that they are not important or damaging problems, merely that they receive much more cultural attention than the routine struggles of oppressed gender minorities. While the soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning was hitherto widely considered a hero in radical movements, figures like radical activist and trans* woman Sylvia Rivera are not widely known outside the trans* rights movement itself. It is arguable that the activist world, like everywhere else, is still somewhat divided into gendered categories, at least on a surface level: the cis men examine military documents while the cis women and trans* folk talk about unequal access to healthcare, cultural invisibility and sexual harassment.
Private Manning's recent announcement that she is a transgender woman—to be known as Chelsea Manning from here on—thus represents a stunning collision of different activist factions. Manning released a statement last week announcing that she identifies as female, and wishes to undergo hormone therapy as soon as possible. This is not entirely new or unexpected information, as Manning's chatlogs with informant Adrian Lamo in May 2010 read: "I wouldn't mind going to prison for the rest of my life, or being executed so much, if it wasn't for the possibility of having pictures of me… plastered all over the world press… as a boy." Moreover, her lawyers attempted to use gender identity disorder as a defence in her trial. However, many of Manning's supporters felt uncomfortable referring to her as female without the explicit go-ahead from her.
That time has come, and yet many commentators remain confused orhostile(trigger warning: transphobia) to the announcement. Manning's requests have been fairly straightforward—"I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun"—but many media outlets, particularly Fox News and CNN, continue to use her historical name and masculine pronouns. Since swathes of information about transgenderism are merely a Google search away, this misgendering demonstrates how heavily entrenched transphobia and the gender binary remain in public discourse.

This year's American presidential election saw a victory for incumbent Barack Obama. Obama was elected in 2008 on vague promises of 'hope' and 'change'. While the election of the first African American president was historic, there has been very little change in foreign policy. Disillusionment is what could have cost Obama the election, but American liberals (and many of those further to the left) voted against republican challenger Mitt Romney. Much of the organised labour movement,
under attack in a number of states by right-wing state senates, also came out for Obama and Democrats on Election Day. While keeping in mind the bombs falling around the Middle East, there are some positive victories on reproductive rights, equal marriage and drug law reform. [Read more...]
In this article originally published by the Socialist Workers Party (USA) Elizabeth Schulte tells the history of May Day, a socialist holiday founded to honor the Haymarket Martyrs and celebrate international workers' solidarity.
"THERE WILL be a time when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today." Those were the last words of August Spies, one of four innocent men executed for an explosion at Chicago's Haymarket Square in May 1886.
The real "crime" for which Spies and his comrades were condemned was being labor militants fighting for workers' rights and the eight-hour day. The national strike for the eight-hour day that they organized was called for May 1, 1886–it was the first May Day.
Their struggle, and the struggle of thousands alongside them, convinced a generation of labor militants and radicals to devote their lives for the fight for workers' rights and for socialism.
Still, although May Day was founded to honor a U.S. labor struggle, few workers in this country typically know its origin, because the history is largely untold. This has changed, however–since the mass immigrant workers' May Day marches that began in 2006. [Read more...]

Victoria university members of the Workers Party are facing charges of serious misconduct after burning the New Zealand flag. This leaflet explains the political background to the act.
Why burn the New Zealand flag?
The New Zealand flag is a symbol of imperialism. This is most obvious in its design, a tribute to the British Empire. This design was adopted after the Second Boer War, which devastated South Africa but resulted in a surge of Kiwi patriotism.
A simple re-design, while reflecting our emergence from the shadow of the British Empire, would not change the imperialist nature of the flag. It's a tool of the ruling class, inseparably linked with militarism. From the Boer War through WWI and II, right through to armed involvement in Vietnam and Afghanistan, the flag has marked New Zealand's presence. Flags mark military conquest, the subjugation of nations.
Flags and borders divide the working majority. ANZAC soldiers had more in common with their Turkish counterparts than with the bureaucrats who sent them to Gallipoli. The working majority has interests in common worldwide, including an end to imperial war. Ruling class nationalism is a barrier to recognising this.
What purpose does ANZAC day serve? [Read more...]

During the lead-up to the 2008 US election, Barack Obama made much of his plans to end the war in Iraq. His bold declaration – that "on my first day in office, I would give the military a new mission: ending this war". Across the world, many people pinned their hopes on this promise.
Obama's policy was never really about ending America's imperialist war policy. It was always about managing the US war effort more effectively. [Read more...]

Journalist and blogger Joe Bageant grew up among the working-class people of Winchester, Virginia, and a question has evidently itched him ever since he escaped from (and then returned to) that community. Why do the working class reject liberalism, and instead hold tight to ideas that work against their own interests?
Deer Hunting with Jesus (Three Rivers Press, New York, 2007) is a series of loosely connected essays that attempts to answer that question. Bageant is a sharp observer and the book is a thought-provoking and often entertaining read as he takes a bottom-up look at globalisation, home ownership, healthcare, guns, Abu Ghraib, Christian fundamentalism and what he calls "the American hologram".

The son of murdered black civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. has often been asked: did you think you'd ever live to see a black US president?
"People are surprised when I say yes", says Martin Luther King III. "But I'm sure my father would have said the same if he was alive today. Without that faith and that sense of possibility he would have had no reason to fight in the first place."
A spirit of faith and hope has accompanied Obama's election campaign. A Gallup poll on announcement of Obama's victory shows that a massive 70% of Americans believe they will be better off by the time the new president finishes his term in four years time.
Seldom has the election of a capitalist politician aroused such euphoric public celebration. Obama's inaugural speech drew a record crowd of close on two million. In the afterglow of the inauguration ceremonies floods of Obama memorabilia continue to be snapped up at three times the volume of the previous record setter Bill Clinton. [Read more...]

Bio and Links
I was born August 29, 1943 in Powell, Wyoming. I joined the US Navy in 1963 and spent 2 years in Southeast Asia in the Philippines and Vietnam. I then attended the U of Colorado for a year and a half under the NESEP program and was then transfered to Europe for 4 years, stationed at Rota, Spain. After that I was sent to Washington D.C. for 4 years. At that time I retired and attended Central State University in Edmond, Oklahoma, where I attained a BS in Mortuary Science. I owned and operated two funeral homes, one in Moline, Kansas, and the other in Sedan, Kansas, for 26 years. I retired from the business in 2001. I am currently residing in Wichita, Kansas, and am an accountant for Wal Mart Corp.
I am married, the father of two daughters. I have traced my ancestry back several centuries and am still in the process of chasing down my brickwalls.
As a former funeral director, I find cemeteries fascinating and love to contemplate past lives and histories of the families there.
I am more than happy to make corrections and add relationship links but am curtailing (not stopping) transferring memorials due to growing misunderstanding of what Find A Grave is about by those discovering the site for the first time. The time members have put into their efforts working together and sharing information is not up for grabs based on same-name surname or lineage and I will not do any of these type of transfers.

RE: Clarence & Rosella Harrison
I sure don't mind transferring them to you, the only reason I even took the photos is because I was on a Harrison hunt. I figured snapping a photo of every Harrison stone I saw then I could later try and figure out if and how they were related to my Harrison line. I have been searching for the burial location of my GG Grandmother Lovisa Harrison O'Brien since 1994 and was hoping this visit to Osage County would find her, but no luck. I did however get to see where one of her brothers is buried in St. Aubert. Maybe someday I can locate an old newspaper article about her death :)

Clarence & Rosella Harrison
I had the pleasure of visiting the Chamois Missouri area cemeteries recently and took a few photos of the surnames in my family lines. I took the grave stone photo of Clarence & Rosella Harrison and then went to Find A Grave and did not find them in the St Marys cemetery so I created them a memorial along with their daughter Nadine who is buried near them. Later I was looking at cems and found your listing for them in the Stoner cemetery, I just wanted to let you know they are not buried in Stoner. I also visited Stoner while there and the Harrisons are in the St Marys cemetery. I see you have made family links on your memorials for them and am wondering if you are related?, if so I would be glad to transfer the memorials I created to your care. Please let me know.

Hi Del,
You created memorials for Townsend family members at the Orzo Falls Cemetery in Hewins, KS several years ago. Recently another Find A Grave contributor tried to fulfill my request for headstone photos and said they were unable to find them. I wanted to ask if you have notes regarding whether you actually walked the cemetery or input the info from another source? If from a cemetery listing, then I will assume they are unmarked graves. The memorials are:
Bertha Townsend, #23860983; J Townsend, #23860985; Mary Townsend, #23860986. I would appreciate any help.

What are the motives behind and the consequences of sleep deprivation?
Click on the order button below to download this Bible Study, part of the Christian Vision Project, as a Microsoft Word file.
"We are a nation of the chronically sleep-deprived," says Lauren F. Winner in her article for BOOKS & CULTURE. Winner examines the motives behind and the consequences of sleep deprivation, pondering why we deny our God-created need for sleep.
Is sleep deprivation a subconscious desire to deny our mortality in a culture that intensely focuses on eternal youth and vigorous health? Do our sleep habits reflect our trust in God? What are the physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences of sleep deprivation? This study will examine the priority, necessity, and purpose of sleep.
Table of Contents

Discover the Eternal Principles
Teaching point one: On the seventh day of creation God rested, setting a pattern of rest for us.
Teaching point two: A clear conscience is essential for peaceful sleep.
Teaching point three: Fitful sleep is often a result of strong emotions, such as anger, worry, or grief, which are only soothed by trusting in God.

We are celebrating the 35th Anniversary of Huntington Learning Centers nationwide while we are marking our 17th year of
operation in Encino as well.
Co-founder, Dr. Ray Huntington stated. "At Huntington, we know what it means for families to trust us with something so important: the academic well-being of
their children." Here in Encino, we cherish the trust that parents have
placed in us and we are proud to be affiliated with Huntington which has helped
hundreds of thousands of students throughout its 35-year existence and has also
been a national leader in the field of tutoring.
What is the Secret to our longevity and how does it apply to your child?
No two students are alike.
Every student learns differently. Huntington has never embraced a
one-size-fits-all tutoring approach. We recognize that what works for one
student may not for another. Our learning programs are tailored to your child's needs and goals.
Quick fixes do not work in the long term. We focuses on uncovering the root of a child's school issues, identifying basic skills missed or specific struggles that make it difficult for your child to progress in certain subjects. Huntington's track
record of success is due to our commitment to your child become true
independent learners-- no longer dependant on someone else spoon -feeding the
answers .

Most food services and drinking places workers spend most of their time on their feet-preparing meals, serving diners, or transporting dishes and supplies throughout the establishment. Upper body strength often is needed to lift heavy items, such as trays of dishes, platters of food, or cooking pots. Work during peak dining hours can be very hectic and stressful.
Employees who have direct contact with customers, such as waiters and waitresses or hosts and hostesses, should have a neat appearance and maintain a professional and pleasant manner. Professional hospitality is required from the moment guests enter the restaurant until the time they leave. Sustaining a proper demeanor during busy times or over the course of a long shift may be difficult.
Kitchen staff also needs to be able to work as a team and to communicate with each other. Timing is critical to preparing more complex dishes. Coordinating orders to ensure that an entire table's meals are ready at the same time is essential, particularly in a large restaurant during busy dining periods.

Hon. Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, has announced recently that students who wish to study in Australia may now use their TOEFL test scores as part of their visa application.
Before, students coming to Australia from Assessment Level 3 and 4 countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Turkey, and the Philippines have to take only one English language assessment.
With this recent announcement, all international students who wish to study in Australia and are applying for student visa Australia must take the TOEFL test.
What is the TOEFL Test?
Significant details about the TOEFL Test:
The TOEFL test is the most widely accepted English language assessment in the world.
It is recognized by more than 8,000 institutions in more than 130 countries.
It is available at more than 4,500 testing sites.
TOEFL is only available as an Internet-Based Test in Australia so it can only be taken online.
The TOEFL has three sections namely Listening Comprehension; Structure and Written Expression; and Reading Comprehension.
The Listening Comprehension section assesses the student's ability to understand English as it is spoken in the USA and Canada.
The Structure and Written Expression section assesses your ability to recognize standard written English.
The Reading Comprehension section assesses the student's ability to understand passages on non-technical subjects.
The recent decision to use the TOEFL test scores as part of the requirements if you apply for visa to Australia, specifically the student visa, is hoped to boost Australia's international student recruitment efforts for Australia's universities and colleges so that these universities and colleges will now have a chance to compete for talented international students from 165 countries taking the TOEFL test.
The new student visas to Australia requirement, the TOEFL test scores was once accepted for admission purposes only by most universities and colleges in Australia.
The said additional English language test option, that is the TOEFL test, is said to aim at helping create competition in the English language testing market, while making more test locations for student visas for Australia applicants.
The TOEFL test will also give candidates with wider choice and allow them to more speedily obtain test results needed for visa application.
Though the test results from the TOEFL test will not yet be accepted for Student visa purposes until after this process has been completed, it is expected to be in place later this year.
Equivalency scores for the TOEFL test are still being finalized and will also be announced later this year.

News Article
After fearsome advance buzz in the horror community – and, we'd like to think, partially thanks to it – the long awaited series premiere of Bates Motel scored some of the highest ratings in the network's history.
According to Deadline.com, the premiere episode of the Psycho prequel series (titled "First You Dream, Then You Die"), which first aired at 10PM Eastern, drew a total of nearly four million viewers overall, which makes it the most-watched original drama series in A&E's history, surpassing 2011's Breakout Kings by a wide margin.
If you're not among that number, maybe you should check out our recap of the first episode and find out what you missed...

Check these out, too...
Tried and True
Don't be afraid to just introduce yourself to the girl
sitting one desk over. Sure, it's awkward to say, "Hi, my name is __________,"
and then let it hang there. So don't. Introduce yourself, and after she
responds with her name, follow up with a question about how long she's gone to
the school or where her locker is this year. And in the awkward event that she
just stares at you and doesn't respond with her name, be prepared just to jump
straight into your question. If you ask her something directly, hopefully she
won't be so rude that she won't respond at all.
Helping Hand
It's your first day of school, and your locker is stuck
already. Don't look at that as a problem, though – make it into an opportunity!
Ask a nice-looking girl or guy near you if they'd mind helping you out. If they
can't get it, you can laugh about it together, and if they do fix it, you can
thank them and segue into a real convo. Whatever your problem is, don't be
afraid to ask for help. It is the first day, after all. And remember that you
can always offer to help someone else out, too, if notice them struggling with
something that you've already got down.
That Awkward Moment
Pay attention to anything out-of-the-ordinary or funny that
happens in your first few classes, and comment on it when you run into one of
your classmates in the hall later. The best is if you can make a joke out of
it, and use that to get the chitchat flowin'. Something like, "So does it
usually sound like they're shouting the morning announcements in your ear, or
was the loudspeaker just turned up in honor of the first day?" Be careful with
your jokin', though, and don't mention any people – you never know who could be
creepin' up behind you and get offended.
Dish Out the
If you heart the pants that your locker neighbor is wearing,
tell her. She probably put tons of thought into her BTS outfit just like you
did, and she'll appreciate someone noticing it. You can then ask her where she
got them, or move on to a new topic once you've gotten her attention. Just be
careful not to gush too much – you don't wanna come off as a spaz. A simple
compliment and a smile will go a long way.

Contemporary Dance Academy, located in Fort Collins, Colorado, is dedicated to training dancers and performers in a positive structured environment. The central philosophy of CDA is to offer the best training available to each and every student, whether he or she desires to pursue a professional career or not. Every child is an individual and we are dedicated to helping him or her find the dancer within.
Contemporary Dance Academy offers dance classes for all ages. We begin teaching children to understand and enjoy movement at the age of two. Students gain immeasurably from having studied with Polly Creer Sutton by developing self-motivation, self-discipline, poise, grace, self expression, and an appreciation for the arts, which they carry with them throughout their lives.
What Makes Us Different
- Yearly rotating curriculum to maximize training in all styles so that more time can be spent outside the studio
- Qualified faculty for all levels
- Classes that focus on mentoring and non-competitive performances
- Online Registration and current information for each student
- Automatic payment system
- Faculty with degrees in dance and education
- Faculty with professional dance experience
- Connections to dance programs at highly ranked universities
- Master teachers currently working in the industry
Mission Statement
Rather than restrict, limit or inhibit a teacher choreographically and creatively [as strict adherence to syllabus teaching can do], our approach expands a teacher's ability to create classes that are challenging and motivating for the student; classes that are truly movement focused rather than picture and pose based. This approach places emphasis on the individual student helping them achieve their personal best.

(Editor's note: The author of this article is a resident of the 335 West Ponce condo building.)
A big mixed-use development in downtown Decatur that was tabled years ago because of the economic downtown has come back to life.
Apartments, shops and a parking deck would be built in the parking lot that spreads out behind the tall office/bank building at 315 W. Ponce de Leon Ave. A five-story building with shops on the ground floor would be built in front of the office building, facing West Ponce.
The City of Decatur will hold a public meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, for people who own adjoining property. They will be the only ones allowed to make comments at the meeting, said Amanda Thompson, city planning director. (See the attached PDF for a plan of the proposed development and other papers sent to residents.)
The plans, including sketches of what the buildings will look like, have been posted on the city website. Copies are now available at city hall.
When the project was discussed several years ago, people living in single-family homes on nearby streets like Montgomery complained loudly.
The project lost steam when the economy crashed in 2008.
People who want to comment may attend the meeting or send an email to Thompson at email@example.com.

Chelsea Cain's novels featuring Portland detective Archie Sheridan and serial killer Gretchen Lowell have captivated fans through two nail-biting entries, Heartsick and Sweetheart, both of them multiweek bestsellers in The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly.Gretchen Lowell is still on the loose. These days, she's more of a cause célèbre than a feared killer, thanks to sensationalist news coverage that has made her a star. Her face graces magazine covers weekly and there have been sightings of her around the world. Most shocking of all, Portland Herald reporter Susan Ward has uncovered a bizarre kind of fan club, which celebrates the number of days she's been free.Archie Sheridan hunted her for a decade, and after his last ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong, remains hospitalized months later. When they last spoke, they entered a détente of sorts---Archie agreed not to kill himself if she agreed not to kill anyone else. But when a new body is found accompanied by Gretchen's trademark heart, all bets are off and Archie is forced back into action. Has the Beauty Killer returned to her gruesome ways, or has the cult surrounding her created a whole new evil?Chelsea Cain continues to deliver heart-stopping thrills and chills in the latest entry in this dynamic bestselling series.

The rest stop off I-84 on the Oregon side of the Columbia River was vile, even by rest- stop standards. Graffiti covered the white subway- tile walls; the paper- towel and toilet- paper dispensers had been emptied, their contents now strewn on the concrete floor. Two of the metal stall doors were pulled off their top hinges and hung at odd angles. It smelled like a parking- garage stairwell, that peculiar marriage of urine and cement.
Eighteen miles from the nearest bathroom, and they end up at a rest stop trashed by hooligans.
Read the full excerpt
The trailer portrays the story of Gretchen and Archie thus far from the thrillers Heartsick and Sweetheart.
Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Chelsea Cain's thriller novel Evil at Heart, narrated by actress Carolyn McCormick. Chelsea Cain's novels featuring Detective Archie Sheridan and serial killer Gretchen Lowell have captivated fans through two nail-biting entries, Heartsick and Sweetheart, both multi-week bestsellers in The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. Here Gretchen is still on the loose and Archie is still hospitalized after his ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong.
Praise for Chelsea CainSweetheart"Cain's debut Heartsick had even the most jaded thriller fans sleeping with the lights on. She tells an equally frightening story in Sweetheart. . . . This is one of the best series in the contemporary thriller genre. Only downside: waiting for Cain's next novel."---USA Today"Cain skillfully recruits us as moral caretakers as Archie struggles to overcome his sexual Stockholm Syndrome. . . . She invents Gretchen in wanton, wide-screen glory. . . . The novel is sensual and engulfing."---The New York Times Book Review"The forces that conspired to make Cain's Heartsick a bestselling page-turner last year have reunited in its sequel. . . . With her preternatural grasp of pacing and ability to create vivid characters with astonishing economy, Cain expertly drives her narrative."---Los Angeles Times"We've been down Hannibal Lecter Avenue many times, and these two books shouldn't work . . . but they do. Chalk it up to excellent writing and Cain's ferocious sense of humor. The Portland (Ore.) setting is refreshing too."---Stephen King, Entertainment WeeklyHeartsick"Heartsick is worth all the hype . . . brilliant."---New York Post"In her dynamite first thriller, Cain introduces one of the most seductive and original psychopaths since Hannibal Lecter."---Entertainment Weekly"Steamy and perverse."---The New York Times
Chelsea Cain is the New York Times bestselling author of The Night Season, Sweetheart and Heartsick. Both Heartsick and Sweetheart were listed in Stephen King's Top Ten Books of the Year in Entertainment Weekly. Chelsea lived the first few years of her life on an Iowa commune, then grew up in Bellingham, WA, where the infamous Green River killer was "the boogieman" of her youth. The true story of the Green River killer's capture was the inspiration for the story of Gretchen and Archie. Cain lives in Portland with her husband and daughter.

Access Profit-Sharing Regulation with Information Transmission and Acquisition
AbstractThe paper analyses how information acquisition and transmission issues affect the determination of the optimal access pro.t-sharing plan in regulated network industries. It considers a regulated upstream monopoly with cost uncertainty and a downstream unregulated duopoly. It will be shown that, under an access price cap regulatory mechanism, the transfer of a sufficiently high share of access profits to consumers induces an integrated upstream monopolist to transmit to his downstream rival the information privately acquired on the upstream cost and this, in turn, may negatively affect welfare. On account of these effects the optimal access profit-sharing plan will depend on the variance and shape of cost distribution, on information acquisition costs as well as on the regulator's redistributive concerns.

The Breastfeeding Promotion Act and Women's SuffrageSeptember 23rd, 2007 by MamaBear
For those of you who don't know, suffrage is a quaint little term that has nothing to do with suffering. Women's suffrage is a right most (not all) women enjoy around the world. It's a right we US women take for granted. We don't even think about it come November. Those of us gals who vote go to the polls, cast our votes, and don't give it a second thought that 100 years ago we wouldn't have been able to do that.
Yup, 100 years ago, in 1907, some whiny bitches dared to ask for the suffrage men enjoyed, the right to vote and take part in the legislative process. I only call them whiny bitches because I'm sure that's what they were called back then, and I appreciate historical accuracy. See, now in all the textbooks and classrooms they're considered heroines and pioneers. In 1920 they managed to finally succeed in their struggle. However, 100 years ago, when they hit the streets with their placards and unladylike picketing, causing unnecessary commotion on the streets with their parades and their desires for "special" treatment, back then they were bitches. And really, how dare they? After all, men were doing a "good enough" job of representing women's needs and wants without all this …this… needless granting of power to the weaker sex. And come on, how ridiculous to give women the right to vote when everybody knows that a country is only powerful when it does things by force, and since women lack the capacity to show force in the same way men do, it's only natural that society leave matters of government to the menfolk.
In the context of modern Western society, these hateful ideas, which were spouted by both men and women, are clearly ludicrous. But those were the arguments put forth in the anti-suffragist movement, among others.
What does this have to do with breastfeeding? Lately there has been a spate of breastfeeding discrimination cases which have given me pause (not to mention the completely ridiculous livejournal, mySpace, and Facebook breastfeeding picture-deletion/banning issues which have also popped up). Well, it just so happens that there's this bill called the Breastfeeding Promotion Act, which is not yet a law and won't be one unless it gets voted on in the House and Senate. It has been proposed as an amendment to the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, which is itself an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Breastfeeding Promotion Act would include lactation as a protected right. What does this mean? It means a woman who works won't be forced to choose between her job and continuing with breastfeeding, if her employer decides not to provide a room for her to pump in during her breaks. It means employers would have tax-break incentives to provide their employees with a lactation rooms, so lactating women don't have to be relegated to a filthy bathroom to pump or breastfeed their children. It also means that as lactational issues become more normalized in the workplace and in public (I believe breastfeeding in public without harassment would also be protected under this bill, by proxy), the goal of getting the biological norm of breastfeeding to merge with the societal norm becomes more likely.
Why did I mention the term "bitch?" Because one of these breastfeeding discrimination cases in the news today has generated a lot of vitriol: The case of the Harvard medical student who wasn't granted twenty lousy minutes per test day to pump. There are a lot of details to this story which make it very difficult for people to sympathize with her position, namely that she's being granted a lot of extra time for some disabilities she's been diagnosed with (dyslexia and ADHD). Here's my take on it: if she weren't granted any extra time for her disabilities, would it be reasonable for the testing board to grant her an extra twenty minutes for pumping? The answer is YES. Definitely. Of course. It is absolutely 100% reasonable to be given twenty minutes to pump per test day (and even that is a bare minimum), because pumping is something she would have to do in addition to whatever else she would have to do on her break (eat, go to the bathroom, stretch, close her eyes, make a phone call, etc.). Most of the other test takers are not lactating, and therefore do not have their breasts painfully (and distractingly) filling up with milk. They don't need the extra time to relieve themselves of engorgement and simultaneously provide enough stimulation to their breasts to continue with lactation. Sure, she could squeeze the pumping in with all the other things she has to get done before the next section of the test is to begin, but why should she have to? Pumping is unpleasant enough. Truth be told, it is an ordeal, one that other (non-lactating) test-takers don't have to undergo. Her other option (which imo is not an option at all) is to stop lactation entirely, to sacrifice it (and the health of her child) for the sake of completing her degree. Why should she have to do that?! Here's the answer: She shouldn't! She is being called a bitch, among other things, because she dares to "have her cake and eat it too." She dares to strive for a healthy child, a healthy body (breastfeeding prevents disease in the mother, too), and a healthy career, and wouldn't you know it? Asking for a reasonable accommodation to make all those things a reality constitutes bitchery. (I am not factoring in the accommodations made for dyslexia and ADHD because, as far as I'm concerned, those have nothing whatsoever to do with lactation.) Anyway, all this bitching wouldn't have to be done at all, it would be a moot point, actually, if the Breastfeeding Promotion Act were passed.
So, this Breastfeeding Promotion Act, how do we "bitches" get it turned into federal law? That's coming. Stay tuned.

Boca Grande Travel Tips
Boca Grande Vacation Rentals: A Cut Above the Rest
Don't stay in a motel on your vacation -- check out Boca Grande condos and Gasparilla Island beach rentals instead. The prices are good and the amenities are much better than what you'd find at a motel. You'll be able to have space and privacy, two things that really matter when you're trying to relax, and you'll have a fully furnished place where your friends and family can all get together to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area and all that Gasparilla Island has to offer. If you book early or visit in the off-season (or both) you can get some great deals on Boca Grande vacation rentals.
Where to Eat Near Gasparilla Island Beach Rentals
No matter what else you plan to do on your vacation, you have to eat. While you're enjoying the beauty of the area and the amenities of the Boca Grande condos, you might want to consider enjoying a meal at Loons on a Limb, Boca Bistro, Dolphin Cove Cafe, or Loose Caboose. There are so many great restaurants around the Gasparilla Island area that you won't run out of great places to enjoy.
Enjoy the Attractions Near Boca Grande Condos
Gasparilla Island State Park is one of the most popular attractions for tourists and locals both. Another popular attraction is the town of Boca Grande, itself. There are no traffic lights, and the residents generally use golf carts to get around. It's a very relaxed atmosphere with a lot of old world charm, and it's very popular among tourists who want to get away from some of the hustle and bustle of the larger tourist attractions. Boca Grande vacation rentals and Boca Grande condos can make for a very quiet and relaxing vacation that you can really enjoy.

It can't be denied that Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight turned cinema upside down forever. It is a film that will undoubtedly define the year 2008, or possibly all of the 21st century.
Yet despite the movie's many past and future triumphs, one can't help but wonder, what if we had let Michael Bay direct The Dark Knight? Luckily, Jared (what a great name) of Spill.com has already found the missing manuscript Bay offered to Warner Brothers.
Michael Bay's The Dark Knight by Michael Bay is exactly the piece of crap you want it to be, a sort of Transformers meets Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer meets Meet the Parents. Here's my favorite scene:
