Welcome to the Nyack College, Seminary, and Graduate Schools International Student Webpage
This page is designed to orient and educate prospective and current international students, as well as faculty advisors and college staff, regarding the international student requirements. Please note that Nyack College, Seminary, and Graduate Schools' policies are not intended at any time to replace United States Federal Code and Regulations.
For Prospective International Students
Getting Started as a Student: Nyack College, Seminary, and Graduate Schools is authorized to educate international students through its approved programs. Students who are accepted into these programs must also show proof of ability to cover all academic related costs, and may include in the record of resources any aid offered to them by the school.
International Students are required to complete the regular application process. As well as the additional international process.
The Role of PDSO and DSO's: The Primary Designated School Official (PDSO) and Designated School Officials (DSO) are authorized to interface between Nyack College, Seminary, and Graduate Schools and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically reviewing applications, records and documents for the Student Exchange and Visitor Program (SEVP). They are only persons authorized to record and initiate documentation using the United States government's Student Exchange and Visitor Information System (SEVIS). DSO's assist student orientation to the college, advise students regarding their academic and legal obligations, and represent students' interests and needs before the school administration. DSO's serve as advisors but do not serve as legal counsel.
International Transcripts
All foreign college/university transcripts MUST be sent to World Education Services, Inc.
WES contact information: email@example.com www.wes.org/application/wes_application.pdf PO Box 745 Old Chelsea Station, New York, NY 10113-0745
Please note that an evaluation by WES does not guarantee that credits will be transferred. WES will send their analysis of your transcripts directly to the designated Nyack College, Seminary, or Graduate Schools.
If we receive foreign transcripts directly from you or institution, we will not evaluate them and no credits will transfer.
Important: Nyack College, Seminary and Graduate Schools requires the "COMPREHENSIVE COURSE BY COURSE" evaluation from WES.
Test Scores
If applicable, submit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores and/or SAT or ACT scores to Nyack College, Seminary and Graduate Schools.
The TOEFL test is required for all international students.
TOEFL School Code for Undergraduate: 8273 | ACT School Code: 2846 | SAT School Code 2560 TOEFL School Code for Graduate: 2560
Additional Required Documents
Undergraduate Estimated Budget Worksheet 2013-2014 (PDF) Seminary/Graduate Schools Budget Worksheet 2013-2014 (PDF)
International Tuition
Tuition Deposit: Once accepted in to an academic program, all programs require that International Students pay $2000 toward their bill in advance of the issuing of the Form I-20.
Scholarships and grants may be available. International Students are not eligible for government-based grants or loans.
I-20 and Embassy Instructions
When you receive your I-20: Please print your name and then sign your name on page one of the Form I-20.
Please be sure to take all original documents: acceptance letter, bank statements, etc. when you present your endorsed Form I-20 to the U.S. Embassy.
The Embassy Officials will ask for the endorsed I-20 and the original documents of support (affidavits and accompanying bank statements). Please be sure the names on statements can be easily read and whenever possible that financial documents are expressed in US dollars. Your support in affidavits and the amount of aid promised by Nyack College, Seminary, or Graduate Schools must total at least the total cost of the first year of your program.
Nyack College, Seminary, or Graduate Schools will enter your information into SEVIS (the US immigration department's database). The U.S. Embassy will require you to make an online processing fee (i-901) of US$190.00, at least 3 days prior to your visit to the Embassy. The website is: http://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901
If the I-20 is approved, the Embassy Official will issue you the U.S. F-1 Student Visa (stamped into your passport). The visa gives you permission to enter the United States for the purpose stated on it (full-time student). Please make sure that the expiration date of the visa covers the time required to complete the degree program. *There may also be an additional fee for the actual F-1 Visa Stamp, if it is approved.
The I-20 form will be stamped when you arrive in the United States. It will be stamped with the date you entered. It will have "D/S" as the expiration date. The "D/S" ("duration of status") means the document is valid for as long as you are within the guidelines of that status (F-1: full-time student).
When you travel you will also receive a form I-94 (which will be stapled into your passport). The "D/S" expiration date will also appear on the form I-94.
The I-20/ F-1 visa allows you entry into the U.S. up to 30 days prior to the "report date" of your I-20. You will not be allowed entry into the U.S. after the "no later than" date on the I-20. Make sure you communicate with the Admissions Office the details of your arrival.
Your newly issued I-20 notes on item #3 "Initial Attendance". Once you arrive on campus, notify your DSO to receive a new I-20 which notes "Continuing Attendance" for item #3.
Important: All international students must have page 3 of their current I-20 endorsed by the DSO, at least once a year to allow for reentry when a student leaves the United States.
Additional Information for International Students
Student Responsibilities
Academic Load: Students must carry a full-time load each semester (12 credits), and may drop to less than full time only under very specific conditions and after authorization by the Designated School Official (DSO).
Academic and Financial Responsibilities: International Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress as per college guidelines and also fulfill all financial obligations for each semester enrolled. Academic progress includes the completion of research projects and required research theses in a timely manner. Nyack College, Seminary and Graduate Schools reserves all rights to dismiss a student who fails to meet these obligations.
Reporting to DSO's: It is the responsibility of international students to report changes in their academic programs of study, academic or student life office actions, and anytime the student plans to leave the United States. DSO's are the only persons authorized to sign page one and page three of the I-20 Application for Student Visa, or endorse applications for F-1 Student related official requests. Students are required to confirm their full-time enrollment to DSO's each semester in person or via email.
Visa and Visa Status Obligations: Students must maintain a valid passport at all times. Visas are official U.S. government documents authorizing entry into the United States. Valid visas are required to enter the United States. Visa status refers to meeting the requirements of the visa category, and these must always be maintained to remain "in visa status."
Working Opportunities: International students are only authorized to work on-campus, part-time (maximum 20 hours per week) during the school semester. They are also authorized to work on-campus, full-time, during vacation periods (classes not in session).
Employment Authorization for Off-Campus Work: Students are only authorized to work off-campus when authorized by Federal Code in the following two cases, 1) Post-Completion (after graduation) Optional Practical Training, and 2) Financial Hardship (documented proof of loss of financial support required). Both of these privileges are granted after a review and approval of the I-765 Application and supporting materials by SEVP justices. Further information regarding these work opportunities are available online and through the DSO's.
Faculty Advising All students depend on faculty advisors to move successfully through the academic programs. Faculty and international students should especially be mindful of the timeline restrictions stated in the approved I-20 Application for F-1 Student Visa. Faculty Advisors and students are encouraged to discuss academic progress with DSO's. International students may also be authorized to transfer to other schools approved to educate F-1 international students.
Delays in the completion of academic assignments or faculty advising can have legal implications for international students. DSO's are prepared to discuss regulations and timelines pertaining to academic progress, Visa regulations and other authorizations with students, faculty and school administrators.
Upon Completion of a Program: Four options are possible for students upon completion of their academic program:
Contacting Current Designated School Officials

JKR's Court Win Protects Children of Celebrities
J.K. RowlingMay 05, 2006, 08:23 AM
J.K. Rowling and her husband, Dr. Neil Murray, won a lawsuit yesterday against the Sunday Express, which printed a photograph of their son David. Because of the ruling, British newspapers will be unable to publish photographs of celebrities' children in many circumstances, which is likely to have "serious implications" for the paparazzi. Keith Schilling, who represented Ms. Rowling and Dr. Murray, said:
"This case demonstrates that the law is moving to recognize that the children of public figures are entitled to private lives, and, most importantly, to enjoy their childhood without unwanted media intrusion."
Good on ya, Jo!

Venezuela local elections set for July
Tuesday - 1/29/2013, 4:19pm  ET
Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - The chief of Venezuela's electoral council announced on Tuesday that the country will hold municipal elections on July 14, much later than tentative dates discussed earlier.
National Electoral Council President Tibisay Lucena announced the date for the elections at a news conference. Election officials had earlier mentioned May 26 as a possible date for the local elections.
Lucena said that the date had not previously been set and that the council decided on July to allow adequate time for preparations.
The decision was announced amid uncertainty about President Hugo Chavez's future. He has remained in Cuba for seven weeks after his latest surgery there for an unspecified type of pelvic cancer.
Before the Dec. 11 operation, Chavez announced that he had chosen Vice President Nicolas Maduro to be his designated successor. He called on Venezuelans to vote for Maduro if a new presidential vote were held to replace him. The constitution says that if a president dies or is incapacitated, a new election should be held in 30 days.
Lucena did not say anything about such a scenario. She said time is needed to prepare for municipal elections that are to be "very complex." Candidates will be running for mayoral posts and other local offices.
Most members of the electoral council are widely considered to lean pro-government, and critics have accused the council in the past of setting dates that suit the political aims of Chavez's government.
Luis Vicente Leon, a pollster and analyst, said the reasons behind the later date are fueling speculation but what's clear is that the government seems to need more time to deal with internal matters. He said, however, that any talk of officials possibly making behind-the-scenes preparations for a presidential election remain "pure speculation."

The hydraulic brake-lines can't physically control the KERS harvest and that is what does most of the rear breaking this year, so brake by wire is the best option for the rear wheels.6th February 2014, 18:58 at 6:58 pm #248573I simply don't see where 100HP should come from. With the limits on fuel consumption, the Mercedes engine would have to be a whopping 16.6 percent more fuel efficient then the Renault. With so strict regulations, I simply cannot see that happening.
6th February 2014, 16:32 at 4:32 pm #248563@sato113
Electronic braking, so no physical connection between the brake pedal and the brake fluid circuit.
Same as drive by wire in the throttle on your car. Just in the braking system.
But it will only affect the rear wheels. The front wheel breaking will be done as usual.29th January 2014, 20:06 at 8:06 pm #248426Sorry for being such a joy-kill though. Nice topic! I will give it a go tomorrow. : )
29th January 2014, 20:05 at 8:05 pm #248425• The fuel limit for cars would be 150kg, but if a team uses electric only, the weight of the battery units would be 75kg – this will allow the weight loss of fuel-burning cars to be mitigated and averaged out.
That would completely rule out battery powered cars.
Petrol contains 46.4MJ/kg of energy, in a normal engine only a third of that would be converted to mechanical energy, so roughly 15.4MJ/kg.
The best Lithium Ion batteries, as most commonly used in cars, contains up to 1MJ/kg. But since nearly all of the energy stored in the battery can be converted to actual, mechanical energy, we can just assume that the actual, driving, power is 1MJ/kg.
Basically the battery, to contain the same propulsion power would need to weigh 15.4 times MORE then the fuel allowed in the petrol car in order to contain a similar amount of power.
So the battery weight would need to be something like two tonnes in order to compete with 150kg of standard petrol.29th January 2014, 19:42 at 7:42 pm #248377@steevkay
The V8 engines didn't run between 0-10,000RPM. At race speed the gearing made sure they were kept well above that at all times. Watch a few onboard laps. Even in the really slow corners they would only juuust get near 10,000RPM, and that has more to do with trying to limit wheelspin then anything else. They were practically always well above that.27th January 2014, 19:35 at 7:35 pm #248350They still have Newey, effectively factory support on engines, and most of their key people still in place, so I see no reason why they shouldn't be at the top.
That said, dominance always ends and 9/10 times it is because of a big regulation change.
So I do not expect them to be dominant, maybe not even championship contenders, but I doubt they will turn up with a dog.25th January 2014, 21:48 at 9:48 pm #248255I think most of the cars from the 70′s and early 80′s were pretty horrid.
But since '85, I don't really recall seeing something nearly as bad as this.
Well yes, there were always the occasional ugly duckling, but that is one or two vehicles. This time, it's across the board. Every single one so far is bad, and there is no reason to believe that any of the others will not be.
Picking the best looking is like picking your favourite STD.
Although 1996 weren't so great either, with the raised side protection. It looked awkward. Still nothing in comparison to this year.11th January 2014, 11:39 at 11:39 am #248039I think it is the future for road cars, but I wouldn't like it on the racing cars.
Basically it would mean that the teams will run maximum downforce EVERYWHERE without loosing out on top speed, as well as it would make the slipstream less effective.
Basically having more downforce then the others would be a 'free' advantage in the sense that there would be virtually no drawback.
Not like today where teams running more downforce are usually slower on the straights. I like that sort of balancing act between downforce and top speed. I think it makes the racing more interesting.5th December 2013, 19:30 at 7:30 pm #245879Introducing traction control wouldn't reduce Red Bull's traction advantage.
Traction is a measure for the amount of force you can put through the tyres at any given time.
Say Red Bull can put down 1000Nm at 80km/h (completely made up numbers!) but Mercedes are only able to put down 950Nm at 80km/h. Using traction control will allow the driver to on average come a little closer to those numbers then they normally do, but if we say that Vettel and Hamilton are equally good at applying their right foot, then the TC advantage will mean that Lewis can come closer to 950, and Vettel can come closer to 1000. Making no difference.
If a driver however has a bad right foot and while the car is able to put down 1000Nm, and he only applies 950, or 1050 (causing slip) then he will be no faster then a good driver with less traction.
Introducing traction control will allow the worse driver to get equally close to his cars maximum traction, as a better driver.
Meaning it is now a lot more about the car, then the driver.13th November 2013, 19:02 at 7:02 pm #239166I am right now trying to persuade my girlfriend into watching F1 again from next year.
How am I going to do that if the cars looks like that? It is absolutely horrifyingly ugly!
Why can't we just get back to 2008 proportions, but with the clean bodywork of the current cars? That would look incredibly sweet.
I really think that looks of the cars are important.
I want something I can use as my wall paper on my laptop, or that maybe one day accompany the picture of the Ferrari 156/85 on my wall.11th November 2013, 18:25 at 6:25 pm #244933@davef1
It depends on what McLaren are looking for. Another stable, Button'esque driver? Then Perez might be able to do it with a few years of experience. But I doubt that is what they are looking for. McLaren all ready have Button, so why would they look for another pretty good driver?
They need a hot-shot who can take the fight to even the best of them.
Will Magnussen be that guy? Who knows. But it is almost guaranteed that Perez will not. He has quite a lot of experience, and he is still not capable of beating Button in qualifying. Which is JB's biggest weakness.1st November 2013, 20:02 at 8:02 pm #244454I don't think this is the way forward.
I often miss a rear facing camera on the cars, but this camera is simply too slow to rotate. And even if it was as fast as light, the guy controlling it, would not. So the only useful thing for this would be when a car overtakes another down a straight to view the car being overtaken all the way… but then when that car jumps to the other side and dives down the inside under breaking, this camera will be pointing everywhere but where the action is.
I think fixed cameras are better.1st November 2013, 17:05 at 5:05 pm #243802@vettel1
Now you mention it, I do remember their flywheel KERS system being used in some Porsche racing cars for instance. But I don't imagine that Williams makes quite as much money from the things they do, as McLaren. Whether that is just because every time someone at McLaren farts, we all have to hear about it, I don't know.1st November 2013, 15:51 at 3:51 pm #243800One of the problems for a team like Williams is also that, they are funded by their own success. One bad year, means less money for next year and so on. With the huge costs these days, and not a lot of technical freedom it is hard to bounce back in that situation.
McLaren has a pretty healthy side business going on. Not only selling loads of cars, but also supplying parts for racing cars all over the world. Their drive line up however, is a cause for concern. I doubt either of them has what it takes to win a championship.
But a Williams like situation? No. -

Rice up close
Rice is something that we eat all the time. So few of us though, have ever seen it grow. I was amazed as I walked through the rice paddies of Jatiluwih to see that rice is just another, tall, robust form of grass. These tiny seeds are what about half of the worlds population survives on. It was mind-blowing.

"Bigger is Better"
Lets start with the Display. Does size matter? For me it does, you need to judge for your self in the store before moving forward to the rest of your decision making with this phone. NEXT- Display View-ability Unless your literally living under a rock or in a coal mine 20 miles underground chances are you need a phone that will allow you to pump up the brightness and have text legible outdoors. This phone not only gives you the leisure of reading anything displayed on the screen in direct sunlight or on a cloudy day(Suns evil twin brother) but it also gives you an HD resolution that makes any photo pop off the screen with immaculate detail. Hands down best display I've seen on a phone so far.Reception is slightly above average, I say slightly because it's better than what I've experienced on all of those phones and carriers of the phones listed in the beginning of this review. Call quality of this phone is good and that was judged by friends and family actually telling me that they noticed I sounded very clear even when taking calls via the speaker or physically placing the phone to my ear. Conclusion , this noise cancellation technology is actually working.(no Gimmicks)
Battery Life was excellent even for me being a hardcore cell phone user. I am constantly pushing my phone to the limits with screen on time. Moderate use (1-2 hrs screen on time) will get you a good 19-24 hours and extreme use (4-5 hrs screen on time) of the phone will get about 14-16hrs. Huge plus in my book but Note (pun intended) these results will vary depending on what your doing with your screen on time. Playing games, listening to music, streaming video etc....
Design/Form Factor-This is the first Samsung phone I've held that didn't feel like it would break if I dropped it. Twice I've successfully dropped the phone accidentally and it survived. One of those drops I did the one footed hacky Sack save where at the last second I used the toe of my show to decrease the drop speed and increased the phones chance of survival.
Form Factor
Nothing special here, its a rectangle.
Apps and Media Support
Be warned that I did fine some apps that were not compatible with this phone, why? I have no idea. But did it make me want to return the phone? Absolutely not. Most of those apps were junk to me either way. You will have all of your standard Google apps and more but please be prepared to not have Google wallet. Yes you have NFC capabilities but Google Wallet is not available yet for this phone. All of these app issues are why I rank apps support at 3 which is boosted to 4 because Media support has been phenomenal. This phone like most android phones can read just about any video/audio format and those that it cannot read are corrected by a simple free video player from the android market.

To see what we picked, and to tell us your pick, follow on after the break!

Seas0nPass, the popular jailbreak tool for the 2010 Apple TV (720p) has just received an update that will allow it to jailbreak the latest Apple TV software. Apple has just released the Apple TV software update taking it to version 5.0.1; it is actually version 5.1.1 inline with other iOS devices but Apple still files the version numbers differently for whatever reason.
Georgia, Rene, and Seth talk iOS 5.1.1, the future of jailbreak, gesture keyboard shortcuts, multi-user support for iPad, Instacast, cloud storage apps, and Jot Pro vs. Wacom Bamboo stylus. This is iPhone & iPad Live!
There was a time when power users simply had to jailbreak their iPhone as a matter of necessity. If you wanted to get any serious work done with iOS, you had to jailbreak. If you wanted apps, if you wanted copy and paste, if you wanted multitasking, if you wanted proper notifications and Lock screen info, if you wanted Wi-Fi sync, if you wanted any number of features users of other platforms took for granted, you had to jailbreak.
But iOS has evolved. Year after year, Apple has added features, sometimes copied them directly from jailbreak. And each time, the functionality gap closes, the reasons to jailbreak become fewer, and the number of users who jailbreak become fewer along with it.
iOS 5 was the turning point for many. Could iOS 6 be the final straw? Could we be approaching a future where Jailbreak has little or no legitimate place in most iPhone and iPad users lives?
Once again proving the velocity of jailbreak, no sooner did Daniel Hooper's concept video for an overhauled, gesture-based, keyboard-board iPad text editing update get reported, but it's now been coded up by Kyle Howells as SwipeSelection.
If you've been around the iPhone scene for a while, you've no doubt already heard the story of how George "Geohot" Hotz unlocked the original iPhone for the first time, back in the summer of 2007. If not, The New Yorker, in a far broader profile, tells it again:
In the summer of 2007, Apple released the iPhone, in an exclusive partnership with A.T. & T. George Hotz, a seventeen-year-old from Glen Rock, New Jersey, was a T-Mobile subscriber. He wanted an iPhone, but he also wanted to make calls using his existing network, so he decided to hack the phone.
A new jailbreak tweak called Quasar has just been released that will let you have multiple app windows open and live all at the same time. If you yearn for the opportunity to have your iPad running like a desktop, Quasar could be just what you've been looking for.
FireCore has released another update to its hugely popular software for jailbroken second generation Apple TV's (2010, 720p version). The new 1.5 release includes a revamped video player which claims to improve playback performance of most video file types.
Stride is a new jailbreak tweak that is available now and it allows you to passcode protect your device but without the need for a boring old passcode. Instead of a series of numbers or letters, the Stride jailbreak tweak lest you set up an on screen gesture to do the job for you.
Members of the iMore nation started hitting AT&T yesterday, the moment the previously announced official unlocks for iPhone became available, and so far the results have been successful but mixed. Forum member Irish Rose reports a successful iPhone 4 unlock, tested and working on T-Mobile EDGE. Reader Juan Tarrio, however, was told his iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G unlocks would require approval and that he'd hear back by April 16.

RNC Says Memo Blaming Tied Poll on 'Flaws' in Gallup Methods Shows Obama Campaign Is 'Panicked'
After a new poll out today from Gallup and USA Today showed Mitt Romney pulling ahead of President Barack Obama by strengthening his standing with likely female voters in key swing states, the Obama campaign fired back by releasing a memo written by Josh Benenson of the Benenson Strategy Group consulting firm criticizing "deep flaws in Gallup's likely voter screen." Tim Miller, deputy communications director at the Republican National Committee, told Politicker the Obama campaign's memo shows they are "panicked" with battleground state polls tightening in the wake of President Obama's widely panned performance in the first presidential debate.
"Since the president's disastrous debate performance, the panicked Obama campaign's message has vacillated from Big Bird to false character attacks on Mitt Romney to now nitpicking the crosstabs of bad polls," Mr. Miller said. "Litigating polls won't help the president fix his two central problems: he can't defend his economic record and he has offered no plan for getting people back to work in a 2nd term." Read More

text: In Fox v. Vice [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court heard arguments [day call, PDF; merit briefs] on whether federal statute 42 USC § 1988 [text] permits the court to award defendants attorney's fees based on an action dismissing a claim when the plaintiff also asserts non-frivolous claims. The court will also consider if it is improper to award defendants the full amount of attorney's fees incurred while defending non-frivolous claims along with a frivolous claim. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed [opinion, PDF] the granting of attorney's fees. Counsel for the petitioner Fox argued that the lower court decision violates Congress' intention "to protect defendants from the lying or the vexatious plaintiff who shouldn't be in court at all." Counsel for the respondent Vice argued that the federal statute rightly allows for defendants to receive attorney's fees from plaintiffs, even if the plaintiff wins the case, if the plaintiff filed any frivolous claims.

Preceded by | The Muppets Take Manhattan |
Muppet Babies (also known as Jim Henson's Muppet Babies) is an American animated television series that aired from September 15, 1984 to November 2, 1991 on CBS. The show portrays childhood versions of the Muppets living together in a large nursery in the care of a human woman called Nanny (the whereabouts of their parents are never addressed). Nanny appears in almost every episode, but her face is never shown, only the babies' view of her pink skirt and purple sweater as well as her distinctive green and white striped socks. The idea of presenting the Muppets as children first appeared in a dream sequence in The Muppets Take Manhattan, released two months before Muppet Babies debuted, in which Miss Piggy imagined what it would be like if she and Kermit the Frog had grown up together.
Muppet Babies was produced by The Jim Henson Company and Marvel Productions. The rights are now held by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. Although the episodes were 30 minutes (including commercials), it was typically shown in 60 and even 90 minute blocks during the peak of its popularity. Outside of the United States, the show was distributed by Walt Disney Television.
This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (August 2011) |
The Muppet Babies live in a large nursery watched over by Nanny, the only human character in the show that appears on a regular basis. The babies have hyperactive imaginations and often embark on adventures into imaginary worlds and perilous situations from which they are eventually returned to reality by some external event, such as Nanny coming to see what the noise was. They are constantly finding creative ways to entertain themselves and learn to work together to solve problems and survive their wild-imagined adventures.
Each episode included a single storyline. Usually the babies were confronted with a childlike problem, such as fear of the dentist, or a question, such as 'where do muffins come from?' Other times, they were simply finding ways to amuse themselves with old toys or video tape equipment. The babies would then enter into their imaginations, transforming their toys into everything from time machines to pirate ships. Nearly every episode contained one song, and occasionally more than one. After the credits, the episodes would end with Animal shouting out his catchphrase 'Go bye-bye!' usually while Gonzo blasted off into the sky due to some accident he or Animal had caused. When the show aired in its 60 or 90 minute blocks however, Gonzo would instead end the first episode saying "Don't go away, we'll be right back."
Although the program was a cartoon, live-action film sequences were added in unusual moments. When the babies opened a door, box or book, they were often confronted with anything from a speeding train to a space ship. Foreign landscapes in their imagination were usually photos or bits of stock footage which the babies would walk across, interacting indirectly with the film's actors. Though much of the live-action came from stock footage and old black-and-white horror/monster films, more recent films such as Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and Indiana Jones were also played and parodied.
The show was drawn from the babies' point of view, meaning the babies were always looking up to view the world. Objects like couches and doors were far larger than normal and more momentous obstacles for the babies. As a result of the upward view, the faces of adult characters were never shown. Nanny was only ever seen from the shoulders down as were the adults in the babies' fantasies. Exceptions were made for Uncle Statler and Uncle Waldorf and a few 'Muppet style' adults in the fantasy worlds.
The series stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Scooter, Skeeter, Rowlf the Dog, and Gonzo as the main muppets. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker made regular appearances as did Camilla in the form of Gonzo's stuffed baby chick. In the final two seasons, Bean Bunny and Statler and Waldorf began making regular appearances.
Several Muppets made guest appearances including Janice, and Kermit's nephew, Robin, a young tadpole.
The Muppet Baby character Skeeter, Scooter's twin sister, only appeared in this series, and was never a live-action Muppet. This was done because the producers wanted another female character added to the cast. Despite this, Skeeter was always voiced by a male actor, who already voiced a different character.
In 1984, The Muppets Take Manhattan, the third full-length Muppet film, debuted. The film included a fantasy sequence in which Miss Piggy imagined what growing up with Kermit would have been like. While Piggy sang, baby versions of Rowlf, Fozzie, Scooter, and Gonzo acted as backup singers. The live-action sequence was so successful that The Jim Henson Company turned the idea into a half-hour cartoon program. In order for 107 episodes to be produced, Henson and Marvel hired two companies: the Japanese-based Toei Animation for Seasons 1–3 and five episodes of Season 4, and the Korean-based AKOM Productions for Episode six of Season 4 through Season 8, both of which also animated G.I. Joe and The Transformers for Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions.
Muppet Babies proved highly popular and ran from 1984 to 1991, a total of eight seasons. At the height of its popularity it ran in two or three episode blocks.
For a brief run in the second season, the program became Muppets, Babies & Monsters, and a second half-hour was dedicated to a new show called Jim Henson's Little Muppet Monsters. This show featured live action puppets and cartoons starring the adult Muppet characters. The program lasted three weeks before Jim Henson pulled the plug, despite 18 episodes having been made. The show then reverted to an hour of Muppet Babies; however, a portion of the Little Muppet Monsters theme could still be heard in the show's end credits for the remainder of its run. Muppet Babies later expanded to 90 minutes after The Garbage Pail Kids was canceled before it aired.
Muppet Babies is noted for starting a trend of relaunching popular cartoon characters as younger versions of themselves. This trend can be seen in numerous TV series such as A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, The Flintstone Kids, Baby Felix, Tiny Toon Adventures, Tom and Jerry Kids and Jungle Cubs (based on characters from Walt Disney's animated film The Jungle Book) as well as merchandise items such as Baby Snoopy, Baby (Betty) Boop, Disney Babies, Baby Hello Kitty, Care Bear Cubs, and Baby Garfield. In recent years, Baby Looney Tunes, Sesame Beginnings and Baby Mario continued the concept.
Muppet Babies was a critical success during its time on the air: the show won four consecutive Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Animated Program, 1985–88, and won a Humanitas Prize for Children's Animation in 1985.[3]
Muppet Babies was voted "Top Cartoon of the Childhood Days" by the Irvin Hall newspaper's weekly review of the Pennsylvania State University in 2007.
Muppet Babies entered local syndication in 1989, through Hasbro's television distribution unit Claster Television, Inc.. The series ran on local stations until 1992, often on affiliates of the new Fox Network. Syndication rights were sold to Nickelodeon/Nick Jr. (1992–1998), Disney Channel (1994-2006) and Odyssey Network (1999–2000) in the US with only 96 episodes in regular rotation. In the United Kingdom, it aired in reruns on Playhouse Disney UK, Disney Channel UK, Toon Disney UK, Disney Cinemagic and Nickelodeon UK with all 107 episodes in regular rotation. In the UK, it is best known from its first run on UK TV on BBC 1 on Saturday mornings during Going Live! at 8:15am. The show also aired on Network Ten in Australia. Muppet Babies has been off the air since 2000. In reruns on Nickelodeon and Odyssey Network, the intro was truncated and the 1984 closing was replaced with the 1985 closing.
Approximately 100 of the songs were co-written by Alan O'Day and Janis Liebhart, with the exception of the theme song and Rocket To The Stars which were written by Hank Saroyan and Rob Walsh, and Dream for Your Inspiration, written by Scott Brownlee. The song that would behind the end credits was laughingly titled "Hank in the Box" in deference to Hank Saroyan.
In the mid-1980s PVC Muppet Babies toys were available as prizes in McDonald's' Happy Meals. Each non-articulated character came with a wheeled vehicle. Some time later, special Christmas stuffed versions of the Muppet Babies were available in Happy Meals, too.
In 1992, after the last aired Muppet Babies episode in 1991, an episode book collection of Muppet Babies was produced from the book company Grolier. It was called The Muppet Babies Press Books. The book talked mostly about character traits and learning for young children. It was produced and ended in 1992.
There were two Muppet Babies LP records produced and released on Parker Bros./Columbia records. Both albums were produced by Hank Saroyan and Rob Walsh and featured extended versions of songs from certain Muppet Babies episodes. The first album, "Rocket To The Stars" was also a fully-produced stereo story-adventure starring the Muppet Babies characters in which the songs were woven into the all new story written by Saroyan. The second album was strictly more fully produced longer versions of songs from the show.
BMG released a CD version of the first album when they bought Henson.
Songs -- Rocket To The Stars: Muppet Babies theme, Merry-G0-Round, Sleep Rockin', Dream For Your Inspiration, Good Things Happen in the Dark, Camilla, Rocket To The Stars, Practice Makes Perfect, Be What You Wanna Be, I Can't Help Being a Star, Closing Theme.
A second, music only Muppet Babies LP, "Music Is Everywhere" was also produced.
Songs: (side one) Music Is Everywhere, Table For One, Wocka Wocka Wocka, Snow White Blues, Wishes Have A Way, Best Friends, Runnin' Out Of Time (side two) We Love Cartoons, Show Us The Real You. Amadogus, Semi-Weirdo, Art Is For Your Heart, Playin' In The City, Tv Maniacs.
From 1985 until 1989, Marvel Comics produced a monthly comic book of the Muppet Babies with their Star Comics imprint. The series lasted for twenty-six issues. In 1992, Harvey Comics acquired the rights to produce Muppet Babies comics and produced a further 3 issues (restarting at issue #1).
The Muppet Babies also appeared in Star Comics Digest (also known as Star Comics Magazine). This comic was printed in digest size format, and features a number of reprinted short stories in each issue. The series itself lasted for thirteen issues from 1986 until 1988. It should be noted that the Muppet Babies appeared in some, but not all the issues. Other short stories contained in Star Comics Digest included Madballs, Heathcliff, the Care Bears, and Top Dog.
Although not every Muppet Babies episode was released on VHS, a number of them were released between 1993–95.[citation needed] One series released on VHS called "Yes I Can" included three videos, which featured two Muppet Babies episodes inside. The series focused on Robin the Frog, who asks his uncle Kermit for assistance in different chores he was struggling with such as cleaning his room or doing homework. Kermit would lead off into a Muppet Babies episode which told of a similar situation. Sometimes, he would give examples about achieving Robin's trouble. For example, in one Yes I Can video, Robin is worried about making new friends, and Kermit tells him that sharing is an example of having a good friendship, which leads directly to a Muppet Babies episode.
Although the show was (and still is) quite popular, there have been no plans announced of any DVD releases of Muppet Babies. One possible reason is that clips from other TV shows and movies (such as Star Trek, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, "The $25,000 Pyramid," Raiders of the Lost Ark and *batteries not included) were used extensively in imagination sequences, closet opening scenes, and scenes on the TV in the nursery and thus could pose difficulties in terms of resolving possible copyright issues.[citation needed] Recently, a few episodes were made available, in uncut form, as bonus DVDs with Muppet Babies plush toys.
Baby Kermit, Piggy, and Gonzo made small appearances in the drug prevention TV special (later released on home video) Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
A live-action version of all the characters except Skeeter also appeared in A Muppet Family Christmas in the form of a home movie, which the adult Muppets watched during the Christmas Party. The segment was cut out of the home video releases because the rights to "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" could not be obtained.
Skeeter in her adult form was featured in the "Family Reunions" issues of The Muppet Show comics
In January 2009, IGN named Jim Henson's Muppet Babies as the 31st best in the Top 100 Best Animated TV Shows.[4]

YOUR WASHINGTON AND YOU For release - November 12 or after.. Weekly News Letter From Office of Karl Mundt WAR STIMULATES INGENUITY. There may be as many as 250,000 rivets in a single bombing plane. These are snugly fastened with an airhammer from one side and a "bucker" from the other. Thousands of them are in tight places, difficult to reach. Yet each is important. Riveting in such tight places slows down the work materially. This fact challenged the technicians and engineers. Research began. The result was the invention of an explosive rivet. The explosive charge in the rivet is set off by the application of heat and so it fastens itself with a precision that approaches one one-twenty-thousandth of an inch. Such is the stimulus of necessity born of war. -o- NEW CONSTRUCTION PROSPECTS. The Nation's total lumber production in 1941 was 32 billion board feet. This year's requirements will be 38 billion board feet. This enormous increase is the result of war demands. The net result is a lumber shortage which stimulates new ideas for lumber conservation. It also develops a trend toward masonry in construction. The National Homes Foundation has designed a house in which brick and tile predominate and which requires but half as much lumber and 60% fewer nails than a frame dwelling. It costs on the average of only $236. more. Thus the impact of war may go far toward revolutionizing the type of homes which America will build in the future. -o- BELIEVE IT OR NOT! On October 30, 1941, the crew of the Reuben James, which was torpedoed in the Atlantic, climbed to the deck of the Destroyer, Niblack, where the crew generously provided shoes, clothing, and blankets to give them warmth and strength. It was perhaps natural that the boys on the torpedoed vessel should fail to return some of these items and in consequence fifteen members of the Destroyer's crew filed a claim with the Navy on proper forms for return or reimbursement on these items of clothing having noted on a form that the items had been given to survivors. Six months later the Navy authorities who had the matter under consideration requested a ruling from the Comptroller General as to whether current Navy funds were available for the purpose of making reimbursements. The Comptroller's office considered the matter for four months and then rendered a four page opinion stating that funds were not available for this purpose. Thus a year has elapsed and the generous hearted sailors on the Destroyer Niblack are still waiting disposition of their lost claim. -o- THE QUIT RATE. There are many reasons why Government workers quit their jobs or seek transfers. Perhaps they can do better elsewhere. Perhaps another job is more congenial cr---ss exacting. Perhaps they don't like the boss. Perhaps living costs are too high. Perhaps they like to work and live closer to their native homes. In any event, the quit rate and demands for transfers by Federal workers has become a genuine problem particularly in Washington where rents and food are high, where housing is inadequate, and where transportation to and from work often causes inconvenience and discomfort. To meet this situation, the Civil Service Commission was directed by the War Manpower Commission to take complete charge of the problem of transfers of the 2,300,000 civilian workers in the Executive Departments of Government and to order them transferred or to withhold transfers on the basis of where they can best aid the war effort. Such transfers can be made without the consent of the employee. In other words, Uncle Sam, his boss, can now order an employee of the Federal Government to work in any part of the Government Shop. -o- POST ELECTION OBSERVATIONS. This news letter is being prepared November fifth - my first news letter slnce the election. Therefore, I hope I will be pardoned for this personal word of appreciation to the voters of South Dakota for the large majority given me in my campaign for re-election. In return, I shall continue to strive to serve the District and the State as best I can, attending to public duties, private requests for assistance, community problems, and State and National needs without regard to partisanship or personalities. Equal consideration will continue to be given to the correspondence and problems of Republicans, New Dealers, Democrats, or Independents; when I cross the Potomac River going East to Washington I cease to be a Republican or Democratic Congressman and strive to serve strictly as a Representative of SOUTH DAKOTA. In that capacity and with that spirit I shall try my hardest to contribute to the Winning of the War, the Winning of the Peace, and the Preservation of our American Ideals and Institutions. It is with a grateful heart that I express my appreciation to my employers — the people of South Dakota — for making this opportunity possible.

After the 2012 elections, women in Washington have a long to-do list—and it doesn't stop at reproductive rights.
Hate crimes in America—and elsewhere—add up to the world's longest war.
Life on San Francisco's streets for women over 50 is filled with hardships, small and large.
Planned Parenthood has concluded that "choice" is not always the best rallying cry. But it can still pack a punch.
After taking some hits, the movement for abortion rights is pushing back—and has some new tricks up its sleeve.
Exploding the myth of the "two Indias," the brutal attacks on women have shown that there is only one, where social Darwinism reigns.
Refusing to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, Republicans are leaving rape victims with few options.
Long waits and too few providers are consigning more and more women to illegal abortions.
Our civil rights discourse must address the ways our institutions systemically oppress certain communities.

I used to hate writing, but my freshman English teacher and my former crush have inspired me to be more creative and made writing as one of my hobbies. I am grateful to have embraced this new diversion, but I still have many more things to learn!

However, I still like to come back and read fics and give reviews. I still like to write every now and then, but I just won't be writing here anymore. I'll be moving to Luna and Tumblr! Here are the websites in case anyone is interested and still wants to keep in contact with me:

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (WTNH)-- Word lawmakers will consider bringing back tolls on Connecticut highways has drivers stopping short.
"Who would want to pay a toll, that's all. I mean who would want to pay a toll," said an unidentified driver.
"Traffic will back up like crazy, like it used to. People don't stop, they run into each other. I just don't think it's a good idea, " said Hank Saunders.
He remembers driving on I-95 when it had so called one arm bandit tolls along the highway.
They were pulled following a fatal accident in 1983, when a tractor trailer plowed into cars waiting at the toll, killing seven people.
This proposal looks at re-establishing tolls along I-95 and I-84, using an electronic payment system.
"Maybe that will be better. That's more to date, not as much time, but sometimes still delays traffic. I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but I'm not for the tolls," said Eileen Egan.
"The state makes enough money in taxes to be able to fix it. The tolls were supposed to support the fixing of the highways and the highways got in worse shape over the years, because the money went elsewhere," said Saunders.
The legislature's transportation committee is holding a public hearing Monday, allowing folks to weigh in on bringing back tolls.

We have assembled this information to answer frequently asked questions about Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Since MCC is an uncommon malignancy, few patients are familiar with the disease and few doctors are familiar with its treatment. Easy access to understandable information is often difficult to obtain. In this resource, we have combined our review of the best available literature and our experience caring for over 500 patients with MCC at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. This information is designed to facilitate key therapeutic decisions that need to be made within weeks to months of initial diagnosis of MCC. Please discuss any questions that you may have about the information presented below with your doctor.

Ticket #147 (closed defect: fixed)
Loader and Dumper leave circular references around
Reported by: | kristjan@… | Owned by: | xi |
Priority: | normal | Component: | pyyaml |
Severity: | normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: |
In an environment where the gc module is turned off, having circular references is evil. When yaml.Loader and yaml.Dumper have finished processing a stream, they leave a bound method in their .state attribute. This causes the loaders and dumpers to stick around. We have patched this locally by doing, for example:
dumper=Dumper() dumper.open() try: for data in documents: dumper.represent(data) dumper.close() finally: dumpter.state = dumper.states = None
Maybe there is a better way. Perhaps the Dumper and Loader should both have close() methods that clear the state. Another way would be to not keep instancemethods in state, but rather class methods and bind them to self at runtime.
