The university offers a wide range of educator preparation programs for students who wish to become public school teachers. Some of these programs are administered within the College of Arts and Sciences and some are administered within the College of Education. All undergraduate educator preparation programs are overseen by the Professional Education Faculty, which has membership from both colleges and is advised by Atlanta-area schools. The undergraduate programs and college of enrollment are listed below:
Teaching Field | College of Enrollment |
Art: preschool through 12th grade | Arts and Sciences |
Birth Through Five: Infants through Kindergarten | Education |
Early Childhood Education: preschool through 5th grade | Education |
French: preschool through 12th grade | Arts and Sciences |
German: preschool through 12th grade | Arts and Sciences |
Health and Physical Education: preschool through 12th grade | Education |
Health Science Technology Education: 7th through 12th grade; nondegree | Education |
Latin (Classical Studies): preschool through 12th grade | Arts and Sciences |
Middle Level Education: 4th through 8th grade | Education |
Music Education: preschool through 12th grade | Arts and Sciences |
Spanish: preschool through 12th grade | Arts and Sciences |
Trade and Industrial Education: 7th through 12th grade; nondegree | Education |
Initial certification programs in behavior/learning disabilities, communications disorders (speech-language pathology), early childhood education, educational leadership, English education, mathematics education, middle level education, multiple and severe disabilities, reading specialist, school counseling, school psychology, science education, social studies education, special education, and teaching English as a second language are offered at the graduate level.
Educator preparation programs at Georgia State University are field-based; that is, much of the coursework requires structured participation in school settings. Therefore, students must be available for coursework that will be scheduled during elementary, middle, and secondary school hours, typically 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Students will find it necessary to be free of other obligations during the term of student teaching and will find it highly desirable to have few other commitments during the term in which blocks of coursework must be taken. Blocks are comprised of 6 or 12 hours of coursework, which are taken in the same academic term (i.e., fall semester only) and are field-based. Exit requirements for teacher education are satisfied by successful completion of student teaching. Additional requirements exist for specific programs.
Students interested in applying to a Master of Arts in Teaching program in the Department of Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology or who wish to explore the possibility of teaching in a content area (gr. 4-8 or 6-12) or in English as a Second Language classrooms (ESOL, preschool -12) are encouraged to take pre-education courses such as the following as part of their undergraduate preparation: EDCI 3250 Introduction to Teaching in the Secondary School; EDLA 3200 Topics in Middle Grades Language Arts; EDLA 3230 Special Topics in the Middle Level Literature Curriculum; EDLA 3240 Special Topics in the Middle Level Composition Curriculum; EDMT 3350 Topics in Middle Grades Math; EDMT 3420 Special Topics in the Middle Level Mathematics Curriculum; EDSC 3250 Topics in Middle Grades Science; EDSS 3400 Topics in Middle Grades Social Science and History; EXC 4020 Characteristics and Instructional Strategies for Students with Disabilities; or IT 3210 Teaching, Learning, and Technology Integration.
General information for preparing to teach in these areas can be found below. For more information on specific program admission requirements for the various M.A.T. programs in the Department of Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology, see those program descriptions in the GSU Graduate Catalog.
Prospective teachers of ESOL students in Georgia may choose any major but should complete at least two sequential semesters of a foreign language. Courses in applied linguistics and English grammar are also encouraged. Upon completion of an undergraduate degree, students should apply for the M.A.T. in Reading, Language, and Literacy Education which leads to certification as an ESOL teacher (P-12) and a reading endorsement.
Prospective teachers of middle level education (MLE) level should focus on two content areas, either Language Arts/Social Studies or Math/Science, as part of their undergraduate preparation.
Students interested in teaching English, Mathematics, Science, or Social Studies (history, political science, economics, or geography) at the middle and secondary level should major in Arts and Sciences in the concentration in which they would like to teach. Upon completion of an undergraduate degree, students should then apply to the appropriate Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) program in the College of Education.

Episode #1338
Salman Rushdie & Andy Warhol
Friday, September 21, 2012
Kurt Andersen talks with Salman Rushdie. His new memoir chronicles the stranger-than-fiction decade he spent under threat of the Ayatollah Khomeni's fatwa. We revisit the golden age of MTV. And Andy Warhol turns a can of Campbell's soup into an American icon.
(Segments in this week's show aired previously.)
Why Salman Rushdie Became Joseph Anton
On Valentines Day, 1989, Iran's dying leader, the Ayatollah Khomeni, issued a fatwa (death sentence) against Rushdie for supposedly blaspheming Islam's prophet in his novel The Satanic Verses. Rushdie went into hiding for most of the next decade. His new memoir chronicles that ...
American Icons: Warhol's Soup Cans
Around 1961, Andy Warhol started painting cans of Campbell's soup, in all 32 varieties. He liked to tell people that his mother made him Campbell's soup and that's why he painted it. The soup cans are probably the most recognizable images in American art, and Warhol intended ...
Craig Marks: I Want My MTV
Thirty years ago, hardly anyone knew what a music video was. On the night MTV was launched, its founders — a ragtag bunch of music fans and rookie television execs — took a bus from Manhattan to New Jersey to watch the broadcast, because no local cable company carried the fledgling ...
Comments [5]
Tom Petty did a great job with the Alice in Wonderland theme: a superlative video.
As always, an impressive show.
Salman Rushdie's Lost Decade was fascinating. I'm just so glad he's on the far side of it.
My favorite MTV Video would be Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresitable."
I'm not in love with the song, because it still sounds pretty murky to me, but the over-the-top high models knock me out every time.
My favorite MTV video was Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". Brilliant!
Subject: Favorite MTV video.
My favorite MTV video was George Harrison's "I Got My Mind Set on You." I was very upset when it did not win "Best Animated Video" at the 1987 MTV music awards!

Get rid of them with fennel tea! Drink fennel tea after dinner to help ward off those nightly cravings. By not bingeing on unhealthy foods late at night, you will also prevent thoserebound breakfast calories too. Its a win win!
How it works?
Fennel tea helps relax the muscles of the digestive system and relieve spasms. It is even gentle enough to give to children. It also has many important minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
Davids teas and other suppliers sell fennel tea. Try it today!
To learn more about fennel click the link!
If you experience heartburn, try drinking a cup of milk or eating a banana.
These foods will help neutralize the pain-causing acid. No need to reach for the drug store antacid!
Whats even better is reaching for some alkaline leafy greens like spinach and making sure to drink plenty of water!
1. Hemp
Hemp seeds are loaded with digestible, vegan protein: Just two tablespoons have 24% of your daily requirement (impressive, huh?). It's a high-quality protein, too, with a balance of all the essential amino acids. They're also loaded with fiber (yay, digestion!) and packed with other nutrients, such as omega-3 and omega-6, vitamin e, the b vitamins and folic acid.
2. Flax
Flax is rich in fiber (aids digestion and cardiovascular health) and omega-3 fatty acid (provides anti-inflammatory benefits, strengthens skin cells and is also great for cardiovascular health).
3. Chia
Contains 25% of your daily-recommended calcium. Omega 3, chia's fiber, forms a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste. Due to this high fiber content, chia seed absorbs ten times its weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration. This also means a slower conversion of carbohydrates to sugars, resulting in greater stamina and endurance.
I found this cookie recipe and I just had to share it! It is made from chickpeas and protein powder!
double rich chocolate protein cookies
gluten free, no sugar added
makes 12 golf ball size cookies
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and peeled
2-3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon protein powder
3/4 cup chocolate chunks
In food processor or blender, puree chickpeas. Add water and protein powder, blend. It should form a ball of dough, if it is still crumbly, add a tiny amount of water, a teaspoon at a time. Process – it should quickly form a dough ball.
Stirring by hand, add chocolate chunks. Form into 1-inch balls. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) recently launched an investigation of out-of-school suspension practices in Fall River Public Schools (FRPS).
The investigation is in response to a complaint alleging those practices disproportionately harm students of color and students with disabilities and violate federal Civil Rights laws.
The complaint was filed in June by the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the Civil Rights Project of UCLA.
In a letter sent earlier this month, OCR stated that it would investigate potential violations of both laws.
The complaint cited OCR data from the 2009-2010 school year, which showed that FRPS suspended 25.9 percent of black students, 23.1 percent of Latino students and 13.4 percent of white students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade.
The complaint highlights unusually high rates in FRPS for all students, suggesting that the district's policies and practices around discipline are generally unsound, but harm some groups much more than others, according to a statement released by the ACLU.
Among the most notable concerns is the exclusion of students with disabilities on disciplinary grounds. Specifically, FRPS suspended 23.8 percent of all students with disabilities.
Suspension rates were even higher when race and disability overlapped. The district suspended over 42 percent of all black students with disabilities and 50 percent or more of black and Latino middle school students with disabilities.
New data and research have corroborated the facts asserted in the June 2012 complaint. For example, the Massachusetts Department of Education's "Indicators Report" for the 2011-2012 school year showed that FRPS suspended 18.4 percent of all students in first through 12th grades. That was the second highest suspension rate among all non-charter school districts in the state.
Meanwhile, new research confirms the complaint's criticism of out-of-school suspension in general: It does not help students, but alternative disciplinary practices do.
OCR's decision to investigate does not mean FRPS has violated federal law.
"We are grateful that the Office for Civil Rights is giving our complaint careful attention," said Matthew Segal, legal director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. "Fall River's high rates of out-of-school suspension raise serious questions about whether the school district's disciplinary practices benefit its students, particularly students of color and students with disabilities."
The Center for Civil Rights Remedies is an initiative of the Civil Rights Project (CRP) at UCLA, which has been national in scope since its inception at Harvard Law School by Professors Christopher Edley Jr. and Gary Orfield.
Dan Losen, Director of the Center for Civil Rights Remedies, said, "…Fall River's frequent and disparate suspensions of students of color and students with disabilities is a problem that can and must be remedied."
Material from the ACLU of Massachusetts and the Center for Civil Rights Remedies contributed to this report.
Dec 13 2:33am by Daniel Losen [188.8.131.52] | |
Our complaint does not assert a claim of intentional discrimination on the part of Fall River Public Schools. Instead it challenges the high-frequency use of suspensions as an unsound educational response to student misbehavior. Extensive research shows that even one suspension is associated with a much higher risk for course failure, grade retention, dropping out, and juvenile justice involvement. Frequent use of suspensions as a response to a wide range of minor misbehavior is not good for students, regardless of race. Further, research has established that frequently suspending students is not associated with better test scores. The federal data show that this counter-productive approach is harming students with disabilities and Black and Latino students in Fall River far more than White students. However, the unsound policies are also harmful to the White students in Fall River. The civil rights argument used in this complaint is based on a sound principle, that when a school's discipline policies or practices result in huge disparities in harm to children, by race, or disability status, they should replace them with more effective methods of creating safe and productive school environments. There are better ways to improve student behavior, ones that involve more attention from adults, more support and training for teachers, and these alternatives do not entail so many days of lost instruction. The remedy is to address misbehavior more effectively, so that behavior improves, not to ignore it. Further,there are many ways to instill order that also keep communities safer because they reduce the number of unsupervised youth out on the streets during school hours. Therefore the remedy, replacing unsound discipline policies and practices with more effective ones, ones that are effective for all subgroups, will help reduce the disparities, but also produce better academic outcomes and safer schools and communities for all. Dan Losen Director, The Center for Civil Rights Remedies The Civil Rights Project at UCLA |

Racial disparities in school discipline do not prove racial discrimination; it might be that some racial and ethnic groups are committing infractions at higher rates than other racial and ethnic groups. Here's a good discussion: http://www.fed-soc.org/publications/detail/school-discipline-and-disparate-impact |

Can Democrats Compromise On Raising The Medicare Eligibility Age? | Don Taylor thinks so: "If you raise the Medicare eligibility age and do nothing else (repeal the ACA) then it is a very bad policy. However, if it were a part of a political negotiation that lead to the agreement by both parties to implement the ACA, it would be a policy worth considering depending upon the other elements of the elusive grand bargain. Eventually SOME health reform strategy has got to become the policy of both political parties if we are ever going to work things out."

Distribution for Software Testers: Bugnux 2007
Bugnux includes PCLinuxOS and various test tools. The newcomer on the distribution market will run from a live CD or install on disk.
The operating system and test tools on the live CD make any computer a test computer. The collection of test software includes Jacareto (v0.7.12) and Marathon (v1.0), both of which use Java to automate GUI testing. The X11::Guitest (v0.21) Perl package emulates users, and is also used for GUI testing. Funkload (v1.62), which is written in Python, gives developers the ability to test the functionality and performance of Web projects. Selenium (v0.8.2) uses Javascript and Iframes to do the same job. The Curl-loader (v0.4.2) C tool stress tests HTTP and FTP applications by generating five-digit random numbers. There are also a couple of Firefox test add-ons.
Bugs: An annoyance to developers, but Bugnux demonstrates its sense of humor.
The project homepage has full details on the included software. The download area has ISO images of Bugnux 2007.

- Dissipative hydrodynamics for multi-component systems (2012)
- Second-order dissipative hydrodynamic equations for each component of a multi-component system are derived using the entropy principle. Comparison of the solutions with kinetic transport results demonstrates validity of the obtained equations. We demonstrate how the shear viscosity of the total system can be calculated in terms of the involved cross-sections and partial densities. The presence of the inter-species interactions leads to a characteristic time dependence of the shear viscosity of the mixture, which also means that the shear viscosity of a mixture cannot be calculated using the Green-Kubo formalism the way it has been done recently. This finding is of interest for understanding of the shear viscosity of a quark-gluon plasma extracted from comparisons of hydrodynamic simulations with experimental results from RHIC and LHC.
- RHIC and LHC phenomena with an unified parton transport (2012)
- We discuss recent applications of the partonic pQCD based cascade model BAMPS with focus on heavy-ion phenomeneology in hard and soft momentum range. The nuclear modification factor as well as elliptic flow are calculated in BAMPS for RHIC end LHC energies. These observables are also discussed within the same framework for charm and bottom quarks. Contributing to the recent jet-quenching investigations we present first preliminary results on application of jet reconstruction algorithms in BAMPS. Finally, collective effects induced by jets are investigated: we demonstrate the development of Mach cones in ideal matter as well in the highly viscous regime.
- Hagedorn states and thermalization : XLIX International Winter Meeting on Nuclear Physics, 24 - 28 January 2011, Bormio, Italy (2011)
- In recent years, Hagedorn states have been used to explain the equilibrium and transport properties of a hadron gas close to the QCD critical temperature. These massive resonances are shown to lower h/s to near the AdS/CFT limit close to the phase transition. A comparison of the Hagedorn model to recent lattice results is made and it is found that the hadrons can reach chemical equilibrium almost immediately, well before the chemical freeze-out temperatures found in thermal fits for a hadron gas without Hagedorn states.
- Separation of strangeness from antistrangeness in the phase transition from quark to hadron matter: Possible formation of strange quark matter in heavy-ion collisions (1987)
- We present a mechanism for the separation of strangeness from antistrangeness in the deconfinement transition. For a net strangeness of zero in the total system, the population of s quarks is greatly enriched in the quark-gluon plasma, while the s¯ quarks drift into the hadronic phase. This separation could result in ''strangelet'' formation, i.e., metastable blobs of strange-quark matter, which could serve as a unique signature for quark-gluon plasma formation in heavy-ion collisions. PACS: 25.70.Np, 12.38.Mh
- Creation of strange-quark-matter droplets as a unique signature for quark-gluon plasma formation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions (1988)
- We demonstrate that strangeness separates in the Gibbs-phase coexistence between a baryon-rich quark-gluon plasma and hadron matter, even at T=0. For finite temperatures this is due to the associated production of kaons (containing s¯ quarks) in the hadron phase while s quarks remain in the deconfined phase. The s-s¯ separation results in a strong enhancement of the s-quark abundance in the quark phase. This mechanism is further supported by cooling and net strangeness enrichment due to the prefreezeout evaporation of pions and K+, K0, which carry away entropy and anti- strangeness from the system. Metastable droplets (i.e., stable as far as weak interactions are not regarded) of strange-quark matter (''strangelets'') can thus be formed during the phase transition. Such cool, compact, long-lived clusters could be experimentally observed by their unusually small Z/A ratio (≤0.1–0.3). Even if the strange-quark-matter phase is not stable under strong interactions, it should be observable by the delayed correlated emission of several hyperons. This would serve as a unique signature for the transient formation of a quark-gluon plasma.
- Metastable exotic multihypernuclear objects (1992)
- Relativistic heavy ion collisions constitute a prolific source of hyperons: tens of hyperons per event are predicted at energies E≥10 GeV/nucleon, providing a scenario for the formation of metastable exotic multihypernuclear objects. They may exhibit exceptional properties: bound neutral (e.g., 4M2Λ2n, 10M2Λ8n, pure Λ droplets, 8Λ) and even negatively charged composites objects with positive baryon number (e.g., 4M2Σ-2n, 6M2Λ2Ξ-2n) could be formed in rare events. Such negative nuclei can easily be identified in a magnetic spectrometer. They could be considerably more abundant than antinuclei of the same A. We use the relativistic meson-baryon field theory—which gives an excellent description of normal nuclear and single-Λ hypernuclear properties—to calculate the rich spectrum of such exotic objects, their stability, and their structure. We also find solutions for a large variety of bound short-lived nuclei (e.g., 8M2Λ,2Σ-2p2n), which may decay strongly via formation of cascade (Ξ) particles. Multi-Ξ hypernuclei are also evaluated. A variety of potential candidates for such metastable exotic nuclei is presented. It turns out that the properties of such exotic multihypernuclear objects reveal quite similar features as the strangelet proposed as a unique signature for quark-gluon plasma formation in heavy ion collisions.
- Distillation and survival of strange quark matter droplets in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions (1991)
- Recently it has been suggested that rather cold droplets of absolutely stable or metastable strange-quark matter may be distilled in heavy-ion collisions during the phase transition from a baryon-rich quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to hadron matter. Here we present a model describing the hadronization of the QGP through particle emission, which is based solely on thermodynamical arguments. Pions and K+'s and K0's carry away entropy and antistrangeness from the system, thus facilitating the cooling process and the strangelet formation. Our results are supported by revised more sophisticated rate calculations. Two rather unexpected results are obtained when this model is applied to the investigation of strangelet production. The strangeness separation mechanism and the formation process works well even for higher initial entropies per baryon, tantamount to higher bombarding energies. The surviving strangelets have a rather high strangeness content, fs∼1.2–2 [i.e., Z/A∼(-0.1)–(-0.5)]. Hence droplets of strange-quark matter with a baryon number of ∼10–30 and with a negative charge may be produced. They may serve as a unique signature for the transient formation of a quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions.
- Strange hadronic matter (1993)
- In an extended mean field theory, we find a large class of bound multistrange objects, formed from combinations of {p,n,Λ,Ξ0,Ξ-} baryons, which are stable against strong decay. We predict a maximal binding energy per baryon of EB/A≊-21 MeV, strangeness per baryon fs≊1.2, charge per baryon fq≊-0.1 to 0, and baryon density 2.5–3 times that of ordinary nuclei. For A≥6, we obtain stable combinations involving only {Λ,Ξ0,Ξ-} hyperons.
- Canonical suppression in microscopic transport models (2006)
- We demonstrate the occurrence of canonical suppression associated with the conservation of an U(1)-charge in current transport models. For this study a pion gas is simulated within two different transport approaches by incorporating inelastic and volume-limited collisions pi pi leftrightarrow K bar-K for the production of kaon pairs. Both descriptions can dynamically account for the suppression in the yields of rare strange particles in a limited box, being in full accordance with a canonical statistical description.
- Creation of strange matter at low initial m/T (1996)
- We demonstrate that the creation of strange matter is conceivable in the midrapidity region of heavy ion collisions at Brookhaven RHIC and CERN LHC. A finite net-baryon density, abundant (anti)strangeness production, as well as strong net-baryon and net-strangeness fluctuations, provide suitable initial conditions for the formation of strangelets or metastable exotic multistrange ( baryonic) objects. Even at very high initial entropy per baryon SyAinit ¯ 500 and low initial baryon numbers of Ainit B ¯ 30 a quark-gluon-plasma droplet can immediately charge up with strangeness and accumulate net-baryon number. PACS numbers: 25.75.Dw, 12.38.Mh, 24.85.+

Dixon comptroller fired
The City of Dixon has fired its comptroller. City Council members voted unanimously today to fire Rita Crundwell, retroactive to the day she was arrested on federal wire fraud charges.
Crundwell is charged with misappropriating $3.2-million from the city since last fall: a federal complaint also accuses her of embezzling $30-million over the past six years. Crundwell sent a letter of resignation to Dixon mayor Jim Burke over the weekend, citing terms of her federal recognizance bond that prohibit her from working at a job where she handles money. City council chose to fire her instead of allowing her to resign.

Resolution FAQ - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 05/14/2013 - I'm still focused on meeting my goal of doing a pull-up. And I'm almost there! But I'm always getting this question:
NEW YORK (AP) -- If you think texting and walking is dangerous, just wait until everyone's wearing Google's futuristic, Internet-connected glasses.
While wearing a pair, you can see directions to your destination appear literally before your eyes. You can talk to friends over video chat or even buy a few things online as you walk around.
These glasses can do everything you now need a smartphone or tablet computer to accomplish.
Mind you, the technology doesn't actually exist. Google offered a glimpse of "Project Glass" in a video and blog post this week as a way to start a discussion and solicit ideas.
The glasses hint at endless possibilities. But the project also opens up a minefield of challenges around public safety, privacy, practicality, even fashion sensibility.

It always delivered me a great performance from flat and calm waters to choppy lakes and even got me down rapids easily at multiple times! It has proven itself to be stable enough for northern pike fishing ('landed a seven pounder pike in that boat!) and tracks fairly when you get used to it.
The only concern I have 'bout the espirit is the rear hatch being wet but I don't think it was supposed to be dry anyway. Oh and the provided paddle works but is best suitable for spare paddle.
According to me it's a great all-around recreational kayak that really can suit every beginner paddler (by the way if there's any tall guys looking for it, good news I'm 6'2" 200 lbs and I love it). Great choice for those who want to start paddling without breaking the bank!
Nice little kayak, easy to carry and it works great, very useable and surprisingly full of features, i.e., padded seat, drain plug, bungies, handles (front & rear), dry storage, spray skirt, and nicely decorated. The "dry" storage is wet, the paddle it came with was very lame (too short and leaks all over even with those little rubber washers), and after you stop paddling it always turns to the right. Put your stuff in a ziplock, buy a new paddle two days after purchase, and don't worry about the tracking... you'll get used to it. Otherwise, it works very nicely.
Don't let the cons deter you, it is one of the best deals going and you are sure to have a great time with it. Happy yaking!

For decades, Larry Lederman, 77, was one of the busiest corporate and mergers and acquisitions lawyers in the country, shaping major developments in corporate law such as "leveraged recapitalization" technique. He was chairman of the global corporate practice at Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy for 14 years and a partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz for 17 years before that. The Brooklyn College and New York University School of Law graduate wrote a book about his experiences, "Tombstones: A Lawyer's Tales From the Takeover Decades" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, March 1992).
These days, however, his passions have led him far from corporate boardrooms. Now of counsel at Milbank, Lederman has become an accomplished landscape photographer and spends much of his time at the Bronx Botanical Garden, where he is a member of the board of advisers. His photographs are the centerpiece of the just-published "Magnificent Trees of the New York Botanical Garden (Monacelli/New York Botanical Garden, $50).
A National Historic Landmark, the Garden's 250 acres is home to 30,000 trees. Lederman has returned to the Garden again and again to allow the trees to pose for his camera. According to a Dec. 2 review in the New York Times Book Review, Lederman "has teased out the shyer sorts, celebrated the big shots and altogether captured their charm, sass and elegance."
Q: What was your legal practice like? Did you have time for other activities?
A: I did mergers and proxy fights and change-of-control transactions. It was very adversarial and demanding, requiring much weekend work. I had little time for other activities. Even as I became very senior, the work was very hands on and demanded individual attention.
All that being said, I took time to write the book "Tombstones," and I continued to write for a number of years. The benefit of writing was that I could do it early in the morning and late at night. "Tombstones" took four years to write. I was never afraid to take on long-term projects. Indeed, I liked them since most of my work was of short-term duration, a few months, possibly a year in some cases.
Q: Why did you take up photography?
A: I took up photography in about 2000, at least five or six years before I cut back my work at the firm. It was more difficult to do than writing because it required daylight, which meant photographing on the weekend, mainly early in the morning at first light. It was not until the end of 2008 that I extracted myself from daily practice.
Q: How much of your time do you devote to photography now?
A: I continue to teach law, at New York Law for the past six years or so and before that at the New York University School of Law for 25 years. I am also on the panel of neutrals for the American Arbitration Association and take complex commercial transactions. The rest of my time is devoted to photography, which is now a full-time job. I am working on two books and have two exhibits of my work currently running and have schedules for exhibits through 2015.

Co-star of 'Rooftop Prince', JYJ's Yoochun and actor Lee Tae Sung showed off their friendship, as they spent some time together recently while giving each other their autographs.
On June 16th, Yoochun posted the photo of Lee Tae Sung's autograph above through his Twitter page writing, "The autograph I received from senior Tae Sung," and "I'm glad I'm with Hyung. Thank you~ To our lonesome selves."
At the same time, Lee Tae Sung posted a few photos of Yoochun's autograph through his own personal Twitter writing, "I received an autograph from a celebrity for the first time. It feels strange," and "Our first private meeting…"
Both also shared proof shots of themselves hanging out while having a drink with their caps pulled down over their faces.
It seems the two developed a close bond while filming their drama, despite playing rival roles and have kept in touch even now. Tae Sung is also known to have consoled Yoochun, who was having a hard time with his father's death, with his encouraging tweets during the filming of the drama.
Netizens commented, "In 'Rooftop Prince', they were at war… When did Park Yoochun and Lee Tae Sung become friends?", "I really envy Park Yoochun and Lee Tae Sung's friendship", and "Handsome men hanging out together!"

Facts About On Hold Messages
On hold messages generally refer to those messages that are usually recorded by companies and corporations for customers who have been put on hold. These messages usually have details about the company services and products that customers can listen to and be informed about. The on hold messages are recorded professionally to ensure that a lot of useful and catchy information is packed in thirty seconds of record time. The messages have to be attractive enough to keep the client or customer interested.
One fact about on hold messages is that the company has to employ the talent of expert script writers and voice professionals. Not just any old recorded message can have the desired effect on a client. Script writers who have experience in understanding what clients and customers relate to should be hired for the job. The script should be strategically designed to be effective in its use.
Companies spend a lot of finances in advertising to get clients to call their phones. Everywhere you look, be it on the billboards, newspaper and internet adverts usually have a telephone number. However the mistake that most companies make is spending so little in ensuring that customers who finally call their numbers are kept interested in the products and services. On hold recording is specifically designed to ensure that the clients who end up calling are kept interested enough not to abandon the call or to keep calling in future instances. On hold recording is also a very important aspect of advertising that companies should appreciate.
No one likes being put on hold, though it is quite a necessary evil. Most clients will hang up if there is nothing interesting to listen to while they wait. Once a client hangs up, the company can count that as a lost sale since the client would have potentially sought after some of the company products and services. On hold recording will significantly reduce the number of abandoned calls from company phones.
Finally, companies should realize that up to 88% of callers would prefer listening to on hold recording than any other alternative. In order to maintain business, it is important to give the client what they want. If these messages and recordings do the trick then by all means invest in creating messages that will keep your clients coming back for more. Making investments that will positively impact on your business will bring great returns in profits and market domination.

The Old Globe today announced the complete cast and creative team for the Southern California premiere of The Brothers Size by award-winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney. Directed by Tea Alagi?, The Brothers Size will run Jan. 26 - Feb. 24, 2013 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. Preview performances run Jan. 26 - Jan. 30. Opening night is Thursday, Jan. 31 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, by phone at (619) 23-GLOBE or by visiting the Box Office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.
Infused with the music and rhythms of the South, The Brothers Size blends West African mythology with a modern-day story of the Louisiana bayou. After his release from prison, Oshoosi Size seeks out his brother, Ogun, who is an upright and law-abiding car mechanic. When their family is threatened by the reappearance of Elegba, a figure from Oshoosi's past, they must learn what it truly means to be brothers. The Brothers Size is part of McCraney's acclaimed trilogy The Brother/Sister Plays, which also includes In the Red and Brown Water and Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet and which garnered McCraney London's Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright.
"The love that binds Ogun and Oshoosi Size is primal, the stuff of myth and fable," said Artistic Director Barry Edelstein.

5 Reasons Why You Should Ditch Your Car This Summer
We all have to do a lot of moving. Whether going to school, work, or play, we need a way to get there. Sometimes we just hop in our car as a matter of habit instead of thinking of other ways to get to where we need to go. While cars are convenient, they aren't the only way we can get around town! Here are 5 reasons to ditch your car and try out alternative modes of transportation:
1. It will save you money!
Gas prices have gone down a bit in the past couple weeks, but the cost of gas generally rises in the summertime. When you choose to ride a bike or walk, that mean less miles driven in your car, and less money spent at the pump. Even just replacing one car commute a week with alternative transportation can make a difference. If you make a full commitment to live without a car, you can save thousands on auto loans, insurance, maitenence, and repairs! While living without a car might be impossible in some circumstances, choosing to carpool or rideshare makes a difference too!
2. You'll get to know your community in a unique way!
When your feet are on the road instead of seperated by metal sheeting and tires, you notice things that you may not have before. You meet people and nod "hello" along your way instead of being in your own little bubble. If you're like me, you'll discover shops, restaurants and parks that were always there, but that you simply didn't notice before.
Jane Jacobs was a promoted becoming familiar with our urban environments. Every year, "Jane's Walks" are done in her honor. Provo is having their own "Jane's Walk" this Saturday! Click here for more info.
There will also be a community "Walk and Talk" on Saturday, May 12th 3:00-4:30. participants will meet at the Community Action Parking lot located at 815 S. Freedom Blvd. This will be great opportunity to get to know the area where the new intermodal transit station will be!
3. There are a lot of people out there to help you along!
City planning and development are becoming more bike and pedestrian friendly. UTA has plans to restructure it's routes so that they will be more accesible and easy-to-use. Also, there are plenty of resources for new "alternative commuters". May 15th is Bike-To-Work-Day and Roll-With-the-Mayor. Click here for more info!
4. You will be: Fitter. Happier. More productive!
It can be hard to squeeze in the physical activity we need to stay healthy. Incorporating walking into my day to day routines helped me lead a more active lifestyle. When I walked to work, I just felt better. It gave me time to think wihout distractions from the radio or traffic. Making a concious effot to use my car less forced me to organize my time better. I grouped tasks and errands into "walkable" and "un-walkable". The time I lost by forgoing a car was more than made-up by wise planning. I felt like I was getting more done, and I was happier while doing it.
If my personal experience isn't enough to convince you, click here for links to scientific studies about the benefits of walking and biking!
5. Walking is fun!

I haven't written much about Libya, in part because there's so much other crucial stuff to write about and in part because I think it's only secondarily about oil (beyond the short-term price spike it's caused).
It certainly is another good example of the White House's poor messaging — see Dana Milbank's skewering. Milbank directs us to this quote:
"I know everybody here is on a 24-hour news cycle," he told reporters once. "I'm not. Okay?"
It's a silly thing to say and counterproductive to believe, especially for a White House that has no narrative to fall back on when things go south (or, in this case, when he goes south … America. Sorry).
Milbank writes about our attack on Libya in words that could apply to most major progressive issues, "Obama left a vacuum, and his opponents filled it." (see "Relax, climate hawks, it's not about the science. The White House is just lousy at messaging in general")
But a commenter says Libya is an oil issue:
Joe: You haven't had much to say about Libya. While I support Obama's decision it is worth pointing out that this is basically another oil war. It was the oil that bought Gadhafi his weapons & without the oil we would not be nearly as likely to intervene.
Well, oil got him rich, but I don't think oil is why we intervened. Everyone knows this isn't going to lower oil prices (or have much effect either way in the medium term). Personally, I think this is a no-win for Obama. On the one hand, it is hard to see exactly what the objectives are, it is far from a sure thing the Gadhafi will be thrown out, it is even less of a sure thing that the result will be anything approaching democracy, and so there's no clear or even semi-clear exit strategy. On the other hand, how would he justify stay out of this under the circumstances?
What do you think?
22 Responses to Libya Open Thread
I think Obama is interesting in that he truly believes he is at all times working to do the right thing. It's hard to say that without any cynicism, but he's still the ever-faithful idealist he was before, if you read between the lines. Even when he appears to be doing the wrong thing (extending ultra tax-cuts for the wealthy despite bloated deficit), he seems to see it as a temporary wrong that is only a means to do something right. In the case of tax cuts, it satisfied a completely inflexible Republican base and allowed for the passage of a few liberal staples, most notably the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, i.e., in the eyes of Obama, the right thing to do. Intervening in Libya, while justified in terms of our grim dependence on foreign oil, is also the right thing to do. And so Obama is happy to do it.
As for climate change, perhaps he's similarly holding out for the right moment. He's still hurting from the 2010 elections, and sees the topic as poisonous given our super-warped political atmosphere. What is infinitely worse than failing to pass carbon-limiting legislation in this presidential term is allowing Republicans to gain control of the Senate, or worse, the presidency, in 2012.
Bob Woodward was on Talk of the Nation yesterday: http://n.pr/hF1Xd2
"Since he took office, President Obama has conducted the gradual withdrawal of American forces from Iraq on the timetable established by President George W. Bush. And after sometimes heated debate among his advisors, he tripled the U.S. presence in Afghanistan.
Now, in contrast to his predecessor, he waited for the Arab League to call for a no-fly zone in Libya and followed the lead of France and Britain to get approval from the United Nations Security Council.
Some critics say he dithered and should have taken decisive action earlier. Others argue that the military steps he's taken don't match his actual goal of regime change. Still others wonder how he can justify a war to support protesters in Libya and not in Bahrain or Yemen."
I thought it was an interesting show.
That would be to step aside so the oil
companies could hire security firms to
fight it out over the oil so that innocent
peoples all over the world could enjoy
a temporary ease of lifestyle. Oh, and
accept that he would be blamed for it
being un sustainable. -
Ron Paul is the only one speaking out against this nonsense.
Nothing good will ever come from our dropping bombs on Arabs, regardless of which side we have picked as the good guys.

The problem that I see is that even if Gaddafi is overthrown the Libyan Nation has been so eviscerated by Gaddafi's extended rule that any rational progressive replacement will be extremely problematical. The moneyed interests will either gain complete control up front or a puppet ruler will be "Elected" to protect the moneyed interests at the expense of the well being of the people once again.
Gosh did I just describe the recent years of the US? Substitute Bush for Gaddafi, Obama for "Puppet Ruler," and "moneyed interests" are one and the same. We here on CP are the members of the rebellious crowd that would quickly be dealt with in Libya. Electrodes to the gonads and/or drill bits to the knees would convince most of us to see the error of our ways.
While the ones that are left quietly await on roof tops for "Free World Fighters" to set up a no fly zone so the remainder of us could have a fighting chance to establish a "democracy." Alas all too late to save Gaia and Humanity in the end…
So it goes…
"Nothing good will ever come from our dropping bombs on Arabs"???
Explain that to the Lybian rebels, and why you think it should be better to let "Arabs" dropping bombs on them…
I'm tired of those who believe in american exceptionalism, and believe that we can and should impose our will wherever we desire. Reports are that we will wind up spending at least 1 billions of dollars on this intervention in tribal civil war. All the while we're exploring cuts in social security, food stamps, planned parenthood, etc etc etc.
This is just part of that giant sucking sound cause by the military industrial complex, which is siphoning money from average americans and giving it to the rich.
I must say that after all the hope I had while casting my vote for Obama, I now probably won't vote ever again. The elites do whatever they want, break any law, and there are zero consequences.
As for climate change, perhaps he's similarly holding out for the right moment. He's still hurting from the 2010 elections, and sees the topic as poisonous given our super-warped political atmosphere.
Duh. The practice of "holding out" for the 100.00000% perfect moment is exactly what cost him the 2010 midterms in the first place.
Obama may think he's planning for the long haul, but can one plan for the long haul without making sure that one has a long haul to plan for? As long as he refuses to come up with a clear message stating what on earth's he up to, he will continue to lose ground.
– frank
Bahrain – The Kingdom has a strong vested interest in Bahrain and we will not militarily oppose the wishes of The Kingdom. Remember, when Libya first erupted we all waited to see how The Kingdom would react…they had no interest.
Yemen – Problem is, as had been true with Egypt, we support the ruling government. We are working diplomatically to quell the violence. Besides, unrest in Yemen will not have much impact on the price of oil.
We have never intervened in Syria's problems before and I don't think we will start now. Jordan is a close ally and we will do all we can to support that regime.
Back to Libya. I do think oil was also part of the equation. It makes Libya that much more strategically important but I think it really has more to do with Gadhafi. I really think it was very personal for the Brits, France, and Italy and they were able to persuade our reluctant President to go along. That is only my opinion because I have not heard of any heated negotiations between the Whitehouse and any of those governments. I do however think that we can withdraw anytime the situation becomes shaky. Like the sudden emergence of a rebel leader who is not really the "peoples choice." As long as it remains an air war we can stop at any time. We just need to have a good excuse ready.
We thought we were the good guys in Iraq and Afghanistan, too, but ended up switching sides almost as often as the natives did.
The only democracy in the Middle East is Israel. There is no evidence that whoever replaces Khadaffi will be any better. There will be many more of these flareups in the Middle East in the future, and protecting our oil supplies is costing way more than conversion to wind and solar would.
Al Quaeda loves all this American cowboy crap, since it drains our resources and increases hatred of us by everyone in the region. We cannot afford these adventures. If we cut half our military budget and used the savings to convert to renewable energy, the whole world could change.
i agree with a friend that countries in disagreement with the united states can read this intervention very simply:
2003: gaddafi agrees to dismantle his strategic weapons
2011: gaddafi is attacked by the united statesi understand that sometimes the desire to act is too strong to resist, or too correct to resist, but in this situation, his government agreed to disarm, and now may be overthrown for it. that's not a good way to sell nonproliferation.
A sometimes difficult pill to swallow:
What is infinitely worse than failing to pass carbon-limiting legislation in this presidential term is allowing Republicans to gain control of the Senate, or worse, the presidency, in 2012.
but, in your face reality nonetheless.The absolute worse evil to beset America would be the repugs owning the Congress and White House in 2013.

If it isn't about oil and military presence then I don't know what is! but Obama says they are beginning to retract for other warring allies to take charge. nothing diff will come out of it than originally planned.
I too does not think this is about oil, because libya supplied italy and other nations. I worry about the safty of the libya nuclear plant and think this is now a opportunity to prepare libya for solar energy, which they could export to europe.
Btw. are there any statistics about uptake of worldwide conflicts?
Since the US only truly cares politically about the Middle East because of its petroleum reserves, it's hard to justify action in Libya almost as much as action in Sudan or Yemen. However, the US does have a humanitarian interest here. Frankly, Western involvement in Libya is due largely to the fact that the EU does NOT want hundreds of thousands of refugees from Libya spilling into Europe, and the US is supporting them.
I feel that the US should engage with NGO's to help the rebels set up a civil society and parliamentary government. It would go a long way to winning the favor of a new Arab Twitter generation that has suddenly emerged in the ME. They would not have forgotten that the US and NATO did nothing to help a people's revolt against that nut-job Caligula. In the long run, the action in Libya has nothing to do with the climate crisis. -
MarkR "In the long run, the action in Libya has nothing to do with the climate crisis."
Ofc it does. If libya decides to deliver electricity and would stop exploring oil. This would be a huge win for the earth and at the same time, they could still collect money from the exported energy. And i see no alternatives to this if you want to combat climate change. The world needs a ban on fossil exploration.
Call me naive but I'm glad we didn't stand by and allow another Rwanda as we did with Dafur. It's refreshing to not have US (western imperialist) flags being burnt in effigy and I hope that now other dictators will think twice before they attack their people with impunity when they dare to protest against their rule. Meanwhile…
Libyan Council Forms Government
The Benghazi-based National Transitional Council has taken the step of declaring a government, to be headed by former foreign envoy Mahmoud Jibril http://www.newslook.com/videos/299640-libyan-council-forms-government?autoplay=true -
I'm by no means excusing the current Obama strategy, but that doesn't mean he's not going to keep at it. The WH is in full defensive mode, and in most cases that means avoiding the toughest issues for as long as possible. This is based on the fact that he won't even utter the words climate change, even when discussing clean energy investment. It's an issue he won't touch, because it's so politically tainted. Why else would he spin green energy as a tech race with China? Isn't saving the planet also worth discussing? No, because it's so fraught with political tension that it would destroy his chances at reelection (or so he thinks).
I'm not excusing it, but I think it's reality. Obama likes to present tough issues on his own terms, and the terms on climate change are very much set.
Sorry, this was about Libya.
4 Times Journalists Held Captive in Libya Faced Days of Brutality http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/23/world/africa/23times.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
@21: The Times should cosponsor a policy conference with Qaddafi, and various other dictators. Frank Rich could give a talk. Maybe then the world's dictators would be nicer to the Times' reporters. They might even score some exclusive interviews or at least sell some ad space.

No notifications coming through after 4.2
After updating to 4.2 through OTA (Google Service Framework FC trick, to be exact), I am not getting notifications from Gmail, facebook, etc. when I should be getting them. I will still get them on my phone (4.0.4), and the two are on the same WiFi network, but the Nexus isn't receiving them.
I guess I'm asking if anyone else has experienced this or if there is a notification setting in 4.2 that is defaulted to not push or something. Any thoughts?
To clarify, this is for all (what would be) pushed notifications. Google Now is still there constantly, but nothing else. - 11-28-2012, 04:53 PM #2

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Coach Kevin Stallings knows that probably not many people outside the Vanderbilt locker room expect much from the Commodores this season.
The top six scorers are gone from the squad that knocked off Kentucky for the Southeastern Conference tournament championship, Vanderbilt's first since 1951, with three taken in the NBA draft. Stallings has no seniors with John Jenkins an early departure for the NBA and only two juniors.
Stallings said they know their talent level is not what it was last season and the Commodores' goal is to be greater together. He said if they can do that, the Commodores will surprise some people.
Vanderbilt is coming off the first three consecutive NCAA tournament berths in school history. Junior Kyle Fuller said the young Commodores are hungry for success.
