In June 1984, Paul Kantner, the last remaining founding member of Jefferson Airplane, left Jefferson Starship, and then took legal action over the Jefferson Starship name against his former bandmates. Kantner settled out of court and signed an agreement that neither party would use the names "Jefferson" or "Airplane" unless all members of Jefferson Airplane, Inc. agreed to it (Bill Thompson, Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady). The band briefly changed its name to "Starship Jefferson" while legal proceedings occurred, but ultimately the name was reduced to simply "Starship". Freiberg stayed with the band after the lawsuit and attended the first studio sessions for the next album. However, he became frustrated with the sessions because all the keyboard work in the studio was being done by Peter Wolf (who'd played on the sessions for Nuclear Furniture and briefly joined the band on the road for the followup tour) and that was the instrument Freiberg was supposed to be playing.[7] He left the band and the next album was finished with the five remaining members. In 1984, Gabriel Katona (who'd previously done stints in Rare Earth and Player) joined the band to play keyboards & saxophone on the road with them through the end of 1986.
The next album, Knee Deep in the Hoopla was released in October 1985 and scored two #1 hits. The first was "We Built This City", written by Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf; the second was "Sara". No previous incarnation of the band had ever had a #1 hit. The album itself reached #7, went platinum, and spawned two more singles: "Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight" (#26), and "Before I Go" (#68).
In 1987, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" was featured in the film Mannequin and hit #1, although only Slick and Thomas (plus Craig Chaquico's guitar solo) appeared on it. At that time, the song made Slick the oldest female vocalist to sing on a number-one Billboard Hot 100 hit, at the age of 47. She held this record until Cher broke it at the age of 52, in 1999 with "Believe".) The following year, the band's song "Wild Again" (which reached #73 on the Billboard singles chart) was used in the movie Cocktail.
By the time No Protection was released, bassist and keyboardist Pete Sears had left the band due to the commercial direction the music had taken. Sears went on to play keyboards with former Jefferson Airplane members, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady in Hot Tuna for ten years. Starship's No Protection was not released until well after "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (its most popular single) had peaked on the charts, but still went gold; in addition to "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (#1), it featured the singles "It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)" (#9), and "Beat Patrol" (#46). The last song on the album, "Set The Night To Music", would later become a huge hit when re-recorded as a duet between Roberta Flack and Maxi Priest. For the No Protection tour, Brett Bloomfield was brought in to replace Sears and Mark Morgan was their new stage keyboardist.
Grace Slick left Starship in 1988, going on to join the reformed Jefferson Airplane, for one album in 1989, before announcing that she was retiring from music. Slick, then in her late forties, was becoming more self-conscious about her age. As Kantner, Sears and Freiberg had left the band, all the new and remaining members were more than a decade younger than her. To this day Grace maintains that old(er) people "don't belong on a rock and roll stage."[8]
With Slick's departure, Thomas became sole lead singer. The revamped lineup released Love Among the Cannibals in August 1989. On September 24 of that year while the band was in Scranton, Pennsylvania for a show, Donny Baldwin seriously injured Mickey Thomas in a fight.[9] Thomas was forced to undergo reconstructive facial surgery, and Baldwin was involuntarily dismissed from the team.

Texas A&M Track and Field
Saturday, March 10, 2012
NCAA MEN: 1. Florida 52; 2. Arkansas 47; 3. Arizona 41; 4. Arizona State 31; 5. LSU 27; 6. Indiana 24; 7. Texas 22.5; 8. tie, Texas A&M, Florida State and Virginia Tech, 22.
WOMEN: 1. Oregon 49; 2. Kansas 30; 3. LSU 27; 4. Texas 25; 5. tie, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Clemson, 24; 8. Central Florida 23; 9. Florida 22; 10. Iowa State 21.
Michael Preble garners NCAA silver in 800, Ashley Collier fourth in 60 final
NAMPA, Idaho – A runner-up finish in the men's 800 highlighted the second day of action for the Aggies as Michael Preble claimed silver in the event while the top finish for the A&M women was a fourth-place effort in the 60 meters by Ashley Collier.
In team scoring the Aggie women tied for fifth with 24 points while the A&M men tied for eighth with 22 points in front of a two-day crowd of 5,680 at the Jackson Indoor Track.
"We had a lot of great efforts this weekend, but just didn't have enough bullets," said Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry. "Plus we did a few things wrong. Joey Roberts should have advanced to the 800 final we felt like. One or two points at this meet is pretty major in the team scoring."
Texas A&M men initially scored 26 points to place sixth, but a disqualification in the 4 x 400, where the Aggies placed fifth took away four points.
"They disqualified us in the mile relay and I question the dq," noted Henry. "That's just the way it is sometimes."
Officials ruled that A&M's anchor leg on the relay impeded an LSU anchor by going wide off the final curve to the homestretch of the last lap.
Preble improved on his place in the 800 from a year ago, claiming silver in 1:48.11 to go with the bronze he earned last season. Preble, starting in lane one, led the field through each lap as he hit splits of 25.40 (200m), 52.58 (400m) and 1:20.79 (600m).
On the final circuit Preble was passed by Arizona State's Mason McHenry as the field reached the backstretch. Preble challenged, but McHenry maintained the edge to the finish for a 1:47.96 victory. Iowa's Erik Sowinski finished third in 1:48.93.
Preble, who previously held the school record with a career best of 1:47.27, recorded the seventh fastest performance on the Aggie all-time list with his 1:48.11.
Ashley Collier provided key points to the A&M women's effort with a career best of 7.24 in the 60 meters for fourth place and five points. Collier is equal No. 3 on the Aggie all-time list sharing the time with A&M All-Americans Porscha Lucas and Jeneba Tarmoh.
Oregon frosh English Gardner won the 60 final in 7.12 with another freshman, Central Florida's Octavious Freeman, in second place at 7.15. Aurieyall Scott, another UCF sprinter, placed third with a 7.20.
Finishing behind Collier's PR was Christina Manning of Ohio State (7.26), Clemson's Dezerea Bryant (7.28), Kai Selvon of Auburn (7.29) and Kimberlyn Duncan of LSU (7.30), the 200m champ from the previous night.
The Aggie men thought they wrapped up the evening with a fifth place finish in the 4 x 400 relay, running a time of 3:05.96 to finish behind LSU (3:05.80) in the second of three sections. A&M ran with the foursome of Ricky Babineaux (46.98), Joey Roberts (46.54), Deon Lendore (45.95) and Preble (46.51).
Arkansas claimed the 4 x 400 win with a 3:04.92 with Penn State runner-up at 3:05.31 while LSU finished third overall.
In the women's 4 x 400 the A&M squad placed fourth in the final section and placed fifth overall with a time of 3:33.32. The Aggie crew consisted of Ibukun Mayungbe (53.98), Kamaria Brown (52.51), Donique' Flemings (54.60) and Olivia Ekpone' (52.25).
LSU won the event with a 3:31.89 over Texas (3:32.36) and Kansas (3:33.13) who were all in the third section with the Aggies.
In the 60 hurdles Donique' Duncan placed sixth in the women's final with a time of 8.15, just off the 8.14 career best she set in the semifinal.
Wayne Davis II finished seventh in the men's 60 hurdles with a career best time of 7.70 seconds. That ties him for second on the A&M all-time list with Kris Allen, who set his best time at the 2001 NCAA Indoor meet.
Davis only trails Chris Pinnock on the all-time list. Pinnock ran the school record of 7.60 twice and also produced a 7.64. All three of those Pinnock marks were set at NCAA Championships.
A competitive women's pole vault field found Laura Asimakis tying for 16th as she cleared 13-5 ¼ (4.10). She missed three attempts at 13-9 ½ (4.20).

Valerie Harper opens up about cancer fight in new memoir
Valerie Harper's best-known roles have included wisecracking, weight-conscious Rhoda Gerard (nee Morgenstern), frazzled suburban mom Valerie Hogan and throaty, over-the-top Broadway legend Tallulah Bankhead. But at the end of her new memoir, "I, Rhoda" (Gallery Books, $26, in stores today), Harper shares another alter-ego she's never talked about before.
In March 2009, as "Valerie McConnell" — the surname belonged to her mother, Canadian-born Iva Mildred McConnell — Harper checked into the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after an X-ray and subsequent PET scan detected a cancerous tumor on her lung.
Lung cancer?
The news stunned the actress, her husband Tony Cacciotti and the handful of loved ones with whom they shared her diagnosis.
Days later, Harper, who described herself in an interview last week as "a lifelong non-smoker," underwent a minimally invasive procedure called VATS — video-assisted thorascopic surgery — that involved the removal of the top right lobe of the lung. Within weeks, she went back to work rehearsing "Looped," the play about Bankhead that toured the country before taking Harper to Broadway and a Tony nomination.
She said that in sharing her cancer story now — something she wasn't prepared to do four years ago — she is also beating the drum for early detection, noting that lung cancer is killing "more women ... than breast, ovarian and colon cancer combined." (And, like Harper, about 20 percent of those women have never smoked at all.)
"Let's face it, I was very lucky," said Harper, who, at 73, looks so fit it may be hard to believe that she began her theater career in the mid-1950s, appearing in such fondly remembered shows as "Li'l Abner," Jackie Gleason's "Take Me Along," the Comden and Green musical "Subways Are for Sleeping" and the 1960 musical "Wildcat," which starred her sitcom idol, Lucille Ball.
"I still can't believe it," Harper said of her early Broadway career, and of her months working with the legendary "Lucy," whom she described as "stunning, wonderful and warm."
At the time, Harper could never have imagined that, 15 years later, she and her good friend and co-star Mary Tyler Moore would be proclaimed television's "new queens of comedy." Or that Moore's production company, MTM Enterprises, would become as successful as Ball's Desilu Productions had been, on the strength of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," its many spinoffs and more than two dozen other comedies and dramas, including "The Bob Newhart Show," "Hill Street Blues" and "St. Elsewhere."
As for Harper: As Rhoda Morgenstern, the brash upstairs neighbor of Moore's reserved and often painfully sincere Mary Richards, the actress struck career gold, emerging as one of the most beloved sitcom characters ever.
Harper received eight Emmy nominations for playing Rhoda and won four times, three in the supporting actress category and once as outstanding lead actress in a comedy series in 1975, after the character was spun off into her own series.
Even today, Harper says, "people respond to me as Rhoda, they see me as their friend. And that's great. I think the character just clicked with people because there was something real about her. She was Mary's pal and she always told the truth. Mary had this politeness and squareness about her. But Rhoda was Rhoda. She was a kick in the butt."
Instant chemistry with Moore
As Harper details it in her book, she was called in to audition for the role after a casting agent saw her in a theater showcase playing two characters, including a comic Eva Braun.
"The next day," Harper said, "the casting office contacted the director of our show and asked, 'Who's that girl playing Hitler's girlfriend?' "
Harper had an instant chemistry with Moore, impressing the show's producers and, ultimately, fans of the classic series who tuned into "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" every week for the interplay between its sparkling leads and the seemingly endless stream of hilarious Rhoda-isms about life, love and, especially, food.
"I don't know why I should even bother to eat this," Harper-as-Rhoda once said of a piece of candy. "I should just apply it directly to my hips."
According to Harper, that observation, which became a mantra for dieters in the '70s, came not from the show's writers, but from actress Mary Frann, who said it to Harper one night when the two actresses were having dinner.
As viewers eventually learned, Rhoda hailed from the Bronx. But Harper, who was born in Suffern, N.Y., spent her early years in South Orange, Jersey City and Glen Rock — where her sister still lives and where, Harper insists, "the Bergen Record was on the table every day."
Her mother Iva was a nurse. And her father Howard was a hockey player turned lighting salesman. "One of the several companies he worked for," Harper said, "did the lighting for the Holland Tunnel — a fact we were reminded of every time we drove into the city from New Jersey."
Such gems from her childhood, her early stage career and her success on television are all recalled in the book, along with buoyant recollections of co-stars Moore, Betty White, Julie Kavner and dozens of others.
Harper also discusses the ups and downs of the "Rhoda" series, the controversial decision for Rhoda and Joe's small-screen breakup, and the legal mess over "Valerie," her 1980s series that became "The Hogan Family" after Harper's departure.
The actress closes the book with amusing truisms said by friends and family members, including one from her late mother: "It's not what happens to you in life, it's how you handle it."
It's as good a way as any to put the book's first 300 pages — and Harper's extraordinary life — into perspective.

Printable Versions: Guidlines ||| Explanations
College Writing I & II and Courses that
Substitute for College Writing II (ENC 1102)
All courses that substitute for College Writing II will be taught by full-time faculty. Syllabi for new College Writing II-substitute courses must be submitted to the WAC Committee at least three months prior to the expected date of course implementation. The WAC committee1 will review and forward approved syllabi to the English Department's Writing Committee and will notify the author of approval, denial, or recommendations for revision.
All Teaching Assistants who will take primary responsibility for a College Writing I or II course and who do not have at least eighteen hours of credit in the discipline in which the course is taught must take a teaching seminar before or during their first term teaching, attend supervised colloquia in subsequent semesters until they have earned the eighteen credits, and be mentored by designated tenure-line Instructors.
All faculty who teach WAC courses will either attend a three-day WAC Curriculum Development seminar or a training program that is collaboratively determined by the Director of WAC and representatives within departments that are sponsoring the courses.
To receive a WAC designation, the 3-credit course, capped at 22 students, will provide a syllabus that does the following 2:
- inform students of the writing-intensive nature of the course and explain that WAC courses at FAU fulfill the state mandated Gordon Rule requirements if the course is passed with a C or better;
- include writing assignments that promote critical thinking, reading of sustained and challenging texts, and analytical writing;
- offer writing assignments that encourage students to recognize and examine intellectual and/or cultural assumptions that emerge in the readings and in the student's own writing;
- include three or more substantial, out-of-class, thesis-driven writing assignments, each of which must be revised at least once (a revision is a substantial reworking of a draft as distinct from editing and correction of surface errors);
- include both finished writing and preparatory writing such as drafts, revisions, journal writing, written responses to texts, etc;
- provide a short, clear, written description of each writing assignment and its evaluation criteria;
- schedule writing assignments in such a way that allocates time for discussion of assignments, revision, and peer review;
- devote class time to discussions about how to improve students' writing and to helping students understand how to complete and revise their responses to the writing assignments;
- help students learn to read and comment on one another's papers, focusing primarily on substance, i.e., issues that would be addressed by global revision;
- provide an explanation of how students will receive substantive feedback on graded assignments and drafts that students are required to revise;
- count writing assignments for at least 80% of the course grade;
- include a description of the error tracking mechanisms that will be used in the course;
- require students to write a target of 5,000 words (+/- 1,000);
- provide a list of class policies including but not limited to attendance, late papers, grading, participation, format for written assignments, and plagiarism;
- include the following language informing students about the University wide WAC Assessment project:
If this class is selected to participate in the university-wide WAC assessment program, you will be required to access the online assessment server, complete the consent form and survey, and submit electronically a first and final draft of a near-end-of-term-paper.
1For sample syllabi, information on these criteria and suggestions for teaching WAC courses, please refer to the WAC Guidelines and Recommendations. This Document and additional helpful information and links will be posted on the WAC web site: http://www.fau.edu/WAC.
2Deviations from any of the above criteria will need to be justified in writing for review and certification purposes.
Since April 2004, when FAU's administration mandated a Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) initiative, a set of criteria have been carefully developed as a way of simplifying (and making transparent) the WAC certification process, and assuring that values central to WAC pedagogy are represented in syllabi that receive the WAC designation. The Ad Hoc Core Curriculum Taskforce initially proposed the WAC program to ensure consistent and extensive support for student writing across the University. Writing Across the Curriculum is first and foremost the use of writing to learn. This document explains the policies and criteria for courses to receive the WAC designation and serve as substitutes for ENC 1102. A separate document offers criteria for 2000-4000 level WAC courses.
1. All courses that substitute for College Writing II will be taught by full-time faculty.
Courses that substitute for College Writing II, which are to be taught outside the context of the first year writing program, must offer a sustained focus on teaching writing in a disciplinary context. Substitutes for College Writing II must provide students instruction and writing opportunities that are equivalent to those offered in College Writing II. The WAC Committee has determined that full-time faculty have the most experience and training for delivering these courses. 1
2. All Teaching Assistants who will take primary responsibility for a College Writing I or II course and who do not have at least eighteen hours of credit in the discipline in which the course is taught must take a teaching seminar before or during their first term of teaching, attend supervised, semester-long colloquia in subsequent semesters until they have earned the eighteen credits, and be mentored by designated tenure-line instructors.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) policy requires:
Graduate teaching assistants who have primary responsibility for teaching a course for credit and/or assigning final grades for such a course, and whose professional and scholarly preparation does not satisfy the provisions of Section 4.8.2 must have earned at least 18 graduate semester hours in their discipline, be under the direct supervision of a faculty member experienced in the teaching discipline, receive regular in-service training and be evaluated regularly.In order to comply with this policy, a TA with fewer than 18 graduate hours is NOT the course instructor. Instead, such TAs are course facilitators that:
- conduct class discussions in accord with syllabi written by full-time faculty
- grade papers under faculty supervision according to departmental and/or programmatic criteria
- maintain class records
- provide tutorial assistance in class and during office hours
- may deliver lectures as a teacher-in-training, under the supervision of the course Instructor of Record (IOR)
3. All faculty who teach WAC courses will either attend a three-day WAC Curriculum Development seminar or a support program that is collaboratively determined by the Director of WAC and representatives within departments that are sponsoring the courses.
Florida Atlantic University's Writing Across the Curriculum Committee, University Undergraduate Programs Committee, and Faculty Senate have determined that specialized WAC training is important if the WAC program is to be consistent, sustained, and successful because:
- Special seminars and workshops can establish a consistent set of pedagogical values that are transferable across the disciplines.
- Such seminars and workshops create opportunities for increased collaboration among faculty—building coalitions.
- The training requirement helps faculty better support student writing across the university.
The WAC Director works with departments across the university to ensure that a realistic support schedule is available to faculty prior to teaching WAC courses. The WAC Committee realizes special circumstances will arise occasionally. In these cases, department heads are asked to request in writing an exception from the WAC Committee by submitting a request to the WAC Committee chair or the Director of WAC. Once an exception is granted, the WAC Director will work with the department to provide the necessary support in a timely manner. In these special cases, faculty members teaching WAC courses for the first time may do so without training but only for a single semester. Those faculty members must participate in a WAC training seminar before teaching another WAC course.
GENERAL CRITERIA:A. Information about the Course and Assignments
1. Assignments should promote critical thinking, reading of sustained and challenging texts, and analytical writing.
The purpose of writing across the curriculum is to help students better engage the content of the course in thoughtful and reflective ways. WAC pedagogy assumes that:
- Engaged reading, writing, and learning are closely tied.
- Courses should incorporate frequent writing assignments that help students learn the subject matter of the course as well as discipline-specific ways of thinking and writing.
- Short, often ungraded, writing assignments can help students reflect on and engage course content that lectures and exams cannot (writing to learn activities).
- Writing assignments should be sequenced so that the readings inform each other and provide opportunities for reinterpretation and revisions across the term.
- Knowledge acquired in the disciplines within the context of analytical writing is more likely to transfer to other courses than memorized facts.
2. The course should encourage students to recognize and examine intellectual and/or cultural assumptions that emerge in the readings and in their own writing.
When writing assignments require thoughtful reflection, students can learn to gauge how their writing is perceived by others. They can rethink problematic assumptions and/or claims. Typically, then, writing assignments should promote:
- Critical thinking that engages students in discipline-specific problems
- Analytical writing that enables students to recognize the limitations of their arguments
- Revision that includes justification of claims
- Analysis of academic discourse rather than uncritically rehearsing of gathered information.
3. WAC syllabi should require students to prepare three or more writing assignments, each of which must be revised at least once. (A revision is a substantial reworking of a draft as distinct from editing and correction of surface errors.)
Because disciplinary-based 1000-level WAC courses serve as substitutes for College Writing II, they must offer an equivalent number of assignments, and writing instruction must be the primary focus. Revision is a central tenet of WAC pedagogy that allows students to:
- Work through logic
- Generate, reflect on, and clarify ideas
- Recognize when further justification/support/evidence is needed
- Learn from their experiences
- Focus on organization and structure
- Write initial drafts without the pressure of conforming to conventions or managing rigid time constraints
4. The course should include both finished and unfinished writing and preparatory writing such as drafts, revisions, journal writing, written responses to texts, etc.
The WAC Committee recommends using a variety of assignments to help students develop their "writing to learn," abilities, i.e., writing to examine, critique, and master material in the discipline. However, not all writing needs to be graded, and not all writing or grading must take the same amount of effort and time. Ideally, students in WAC courses will write both formal papers that require polished prose and informal (often un-graded) papers that allow students to explore ideas and to experiment with writing strategies. Informal writing can help students reflect on and synthesize course material and provide opportunities for them to discover promising ideas for formal papers. Examples of informal and/or non-graded writing include:
- Proposals
- Drafts
- Journal entries
- Reading logs
- Free writing
- Written responses to assigned readings, lectures and activities
- Group writing or oral presentations
5. Class time should be devoted to discussions about how to improve students' writing and helping students understand how to complete and revise their responses to the writing assignments.
Schedules may be full, daily calendars of writing assignments or weekly summaries. Faculty are encouraged to review a few examples of schedules found in current WAC syllabi.
Typically, when faculty allocate relatively small blocks of time to discussions of student writing, substantial amounts of evaluation and grading time can be saved.
Some class time scheduling options include:
- Discussion of assignments and of evaluation criteria
- Analysis and discussion of sample student papers, including writing-in-progress and formal drafts
- Peer group activities that prepare students to write a particular paper, such as sharing and discussion of plans, outlines, strategies, theses and drafts
- Discussion or presentations of students' research in progress
- Instruction about how to write a particular type of paper or solve a common writing problem
- Discussion of particular elements of a paper such as thesis statements, introductions, topic sentences, conclusions, etc.
Devoting class time to focus on understanding assignments and developing writing strategies helps students to:
- Submit essays that respond more effectively to assignments
- Develop writing and revision strategies
- Have sufficient time to draft their assignments
- Develop increased facility in managing discipline-specific writing and the conventions of academic writing
- Plan their time for the semester
- Receive substantive feedback
- Revise more effectively
6. Faculty will help students learn to read and comment on one another's papers, focusing primarily on substance, i.e., issues that would be addressed by global revision.
All first year writing courses use peer review to help students improve their writing and thinking:
- Students learn to identify conceptual and organizational concerns in disciplinary writing rather than primarily editing.
- Important questions arise in peer review sessions that would not otherwise emerge.
- Students are exposed to perspectives and interpretations other than their own.
- Students are more likely to understand the function and benefits of faculty critique/commentary when they develop these skills themselves.
- Faculty can gain insight for providing efficient and effective commentary.
- Collaborative work such as commenting helps cultivate a collaborative classroom environment.
7. The syllabus must make it clear that writing assignments will count for at least 80% of the course grade.
This criterion identifies writing as a tool for learning. When writing counts for the majority of the overall course grade, a student cannot successfully pass without demonstrating writing proficiency. "Graded writing" typically means formal writing assignments submitted for a grade. However, not all writing needs to be graded, and not all writing or grading has to take the same amount of effort and time. Informal writing may also contribute to the course grade. As a rule of thumb, students should not be allowed to pass an ENC 1102 substitute course unless their writing meets the standards for average college-level work. Most syllabi assign at least 80% of the course grade as formally graded writing assignments.
8. Each student is required to write a target of 5,000 words (+/- 1,000).
This target is intended to help professors gauge the minimum amount of writing that is typically considered appropriate for College Writing II substitute syllabi. The state no longer maintains a word count target that students must achieve to fulfill Gordon Rule credit. WAC syllabi need not make specific note of the word count. However, reviewers examine the page requirements listed in the assignment details to determine whether a syllabus satisfies the minimum University expectation of about 5,000 words.
B. The Syllabus 2 Should Include:
1. A schedule for writing assignments that allocates class time for discussion of assignments, revisions, and peer review;
The schedule of writing assignments shows how writing is integrated into the fabric of the course and helps students to:
- Plan their time for the semester
- Have sufficient time to draft their assignments
- Receive substantive feedback
- Revise more effectively
2. Expectations for participation:
Students must be made aware of their responsibility to be present and prepared for and engaged in class activities. Typically, students are much more successful when they see themselves as stakeholders in the intellectual activities of the class. Participation is a key element of that success because:
- Articulating responses and other communicative actions expose the strengths and limitations of various perspectives and practices;
- Students have the opportunity to see course concepts and values in action;
- Students are held accountable for their contributions to the knowledge generated in the classroom.
3. An explanation of grading policies and typical class routines;
This explanation should include a breakdown of grades by scores and/or percentages. Class routines (such as peer review sessions, class discussions, and use of course texts and materials) should be detailed so that students can be prepared and accountable.
4. An explanatory statement of WAC requirements and how they fulfill Florida's 'Gordon Rule' requirement;
To fulfill the State's Gordon Rule requirement, students must complete:
- Six (6) semester hours of English coursework
- Six (6) semester hours of additional coursework in which the student is required to demonstrate college-level writing skills through multiple assignments
- Complete successfully ENC 1101 with a grade of 'C' or better
- Complete ENC 1102 (or a WAC course that has been approved as a substitute for ENC 1102) with a grade of 'C' or better
- Complete successfully two additional 2000-4000 level WAC certified courses with a grade of 'C' or better
- Developing increased understanding and proficiency
- Acquiring course content
- Understanding accepted disciplinary forms, discourses, and values
5. A list of class policies including but not limited to attendance, late papers, format for written assignments and plagiarism;
Departments are encouraged to have a departmental policy on plagiarism. We recommend that you follow the same procedure as the Department of English and have students sign a statement stating that they have read (and consequently understand) your plagiarism policy. To help them avoid plagiarism, students will need guidance on how to document the sources they cite. Citing on-line sources can be a challenge.
One place where you can find MLA, APA, Chicago, CBE and other styles for citing on-line sources is located at www.bedfordstmartins.com/online. Tell students about Turn-It-In, Safe-Assign, and how easy it is to detect plagiarism in general.
6. An explanation of how students will receive substantive feedback on graded assignments and drafts that students are required to revise;
Formative assessment typically provides comments that elicit:
- Re-examination of problems
- Restructuring of logic and/or ideas
- More appropriate or careful responses to the assignment
7. Major writing assignments and an overview of general criteria for evaluating assignments:
While most faculty provide written descriptions of assignments at the time they are assigned, an early explanation of writing assignments in the syllabus, along with general grading criteria, provides students and the WAC Committee with:
- A clear representation of the assignment expectations and objectives
- Insight into the relationship between reading and writing in the course
- An idea of how writing assignments are distributed across the term
- An advance understanding of how each assignment will be evaluated
8. A description of the error tracking mechanisms that will be used in the course:
Faculty must help students to employ correct and conventional English within the context of their own writing rather than by isolating patterns of error in surface conventions via drills/exercises/quizzes. Students need help developing systems for:
- Identifying and understanding the patterns of error recurrent in their own writing
- Taking responsibility for proofreading and correcting their patterns of error
For a strategy that we have found useful please see the Error Log on the side menu from the University Center for Excellence in Writing:
9. All WAC Approved Syllabi must contain the following language informing Students about the University-wide WAC Assessment project:
If this class is selected to participate in the university-wide WAC assessment program, you will be required to access the online assessment server, complete the consent form and survey, and submit electronically a first and final draft of a near-end-of-term paper.
The Writing Across the Curriculum program has developed an assessment program to determine the impact that the WAC program is having on student writing. Approximately 10 classes each fall and spring and five over the summer will be randomly selected to participate in the assessment project, a total of about 500 students a year. To participate, students must log onto a specially designed web interface with their FAU ID, take a ten minute survey and submit a first and revised draft of a paper written close to the end of the term. All course and student information will be removed from the files. The assessment will not affect course grades in any way. No faculty members will be identifiable once the data is collected. Raters are normed with a campus-wide rubric. They rate the sets of papers, and then the data is downloaded into statistical software for examination. If students consent to have their data included in an IRB-approved study, the results from their surveys and rated papers will be pooled with additional data from the office of Institutional Effectiveness. Once gathered, all identifying information from the surveys will be removed, and the data will be analyzed. We plan to publish the results of the assessment, the web interface we have designed, and our procedures. We will use the data to improve the WAC program on campus.
On Dec 7th, 2007, the Faculty Senate approved a mandate that all students in selected classes must participate in the assessment process. Faculty whose classes are selected play an essential role in this process. They must introduce and enforce the mandate. Near the beginning of each term, the 5-12 randomly selected faculty members will be notified of the assessment procedures in a formal print mailing with directions to help their students participate. A reminder note will be sent over email near mid term. Students will also be notified individually via email and be given a bookmark by their course instructor with the necessary information. Upon completion of the consent form, survey, and paper uploads, students will receive an automated receipt of participation. A week before classes are over, faculty will receive an automated list of all students from their class who have submitted their materials. Faculty will need to remind students who have not yet participated to do so. Faculty receive another update on reading day, when all papers are required to be submitted. Students will have one additional chance to submit their work by the date of the final exam for the class. Faculty are encouraged to withhold grades on student papers from students for whom they have not received confirmation of participation. Faculty are discouraged from offering incentives to students for participation.

Facebook knows your face. Big deal!
December 16, 2010: 3:07 PM ETSome users are worried the new Tag Suggestions feature further erodes at their privacy. Here's why it won't.
Facebook took the next step in revamping its photo services this week with the launch of Tag Suggestions, a facial recognition feature that scans faces in your photos and offers up suggestions of who they are from your list of friends. Currently being tested with a small, undisclosed group of users, Tag Suggestions will roll out to the rest of the social network's 550 million-plus users over the next few weeks.
"When you or a friend upload new photos, we use face recognition software -- similar to that found in many photo editing tools -- to match your new photos to other photos you're tagged in," Facebook explained in a recent blog post. "We group similar photos together and, whenever possible, suggest the name of the friend in the photos."
Facebook uses photos from a cousin's wedding as an example. Once they've been uploaded, the social network will group shots of the bride and suggest her name. Instead of typing her name individually numerous times, all you'll need to do is click 'Save' to tag all of your cousin's pictures at once.
Given the fact the fact that users upload 100 million photos and make 100 million "tags" a day, it's inevitable that the news wouldn't go over well with a part of the Facebook contingent. Some users worry that it's another attempt by Facebook to strip away privacy. It could also provide more ammunition for the extremist argument that Facebook is the real-world equivalent of Skynet, the self-aware, artificially intelligent network and main antagonist in the Terminator movies that revolts against its creators. (Yes, seriously.) The more automated features Facebook employs, the "smarter" it becomes, and ultimately, the more control we as users lose.
"Facebook's latest feature is just too dangerous in my opinion," wrote one reader on PCMag.com. "It poses a lot of privacy issues, and I think it should be scraped. ... We must wake up to the dangers Facebook poses before it's too late."
Hyperbole? Sure. But some of that concern is understandable. As a steady Facebook user, I enjoy photos of myself surfacing on the social network, and I certainly don't mind getting tagged or tagging myself in them often times. (Yes, that's somewhat "narcissistic.") The Tag Suggestions feature sounds an alarm because, while it's one thing to have a human being tag you -- willingly or unwillingly -- having a set of algorithms dredge up your name and offer it for tagging purposes sounds, at least on first impression, somewhat fishy.
Granted, you may not have initially signed up for Facebook with the intention of having algorithms scan your mug, but given the nature of Facebook and its mission of sharing, it shouldn't come as a surprise, particularly given other products like say, iPhoto '09 or Microsoft's Windows Live Photo Gallery already use similar facial recognition technologies. And besides, how is Tag Suggestions more intrusive than the rest of the information -- interests, likes, statuses, political affiliations, sexual preferences -- that is all catalogued and searchable from within the network?
To address user concerns, the social network will also introduce a privacy setting that allows you to opt out of Tag Suggestions, so your name won't appear even if a photo of you gets uploaded. Also, you're only taggable by other Facebook friends. So if you happen to wander into a photo taken by a non-Facebook friend and that person puts the photo through Tag Suggestions, your name won't show up regardless of your privacy settings. Random strangers will not be able to figure out your identity.
So if Facebook is on its way to becoming something akin to Big Brother -- and I'd say, no, at least not yet -- it's not because of a minor feature like Tag Suggestions.

He said, in reply to your assertion of 2011 mac mini having a radeon 630m, that he meant a desktop GPU. And desktop clearly means in this case a non mobile model otherwise what does a 'desktop' gpu mean otherwise once he has rejected your proposed mobile model, other than a non mobile model. That's one point where the goal post are not moved and you have been caught out. Now a completely separate issue that also indicates your disingenuousness is your coincidental[!] reference to the 2011 mac mini, knowing full well that even the mobile gpu has been removed from the 2012 mini, ie the current model is even worse than a mobile model as it's is an integrated gpu. And there's no way to slice your way out of this. |

You hang on right there. "In reply" the goalposts were already moving. His initial point, to which I replied 100% factually was that he'd like a Mini with discrete graphics. I told him the previous gen already had it.
That's it. Everything after that was goalpost moving.

It seems to me that the lower price is the main selling point of the non-retina. I imagine Apple likes having that price point, and so they'll be nixing the non-retina as soon as they can sell the retina at those price points and still have a comfortable margin.

Mothers of Invention
The London-based AMM's first visit to Baltimore appropriately took place in the achingly beautiful Mount Vernon United Methodist Church. The band was joined by fellow experimenters Neil Feather, Andy Hayleck, and Catherine Pancake, who began with a loosely improvised performance on Feather's homemade instruments.
Pancake operated the "Nondo," a plate of metal bent by two steel wires. By balancing a metal rod and striking it with a mallet, she produced both tinny crashes and low, unstable rumbling. Hayleck played the "Nuguitar" (made of guitar parts), deftly manipulating it to pierce the soundscape with sharp, warped cries. Both the Nuguitar and the bizarre "Vegas," as played by Feather, relied on the addition of a bar that controlled the tension of the strings and wildly bent each note's pitch. Just as the listener got comfortable with the new sounds, something changed. Feather turned his instrument around or added a new attachment, Hayleck shifted his foot on a whammy pedal, or Pancake added another balanced bar to her machine, and their axes gave birth to a whole new set of noises. The total effect was a carefully orchestrated yet chaotic and totally enrapturing patchwork of sounds.
While Feather and company's creations ask us to build relationships to unfamiliar instruments, AMM shatters our expectations of traditional musical equipment. The group has existed in various forms since 1965, and the current trio--Eddie Prévost, John Tilbury, and Keith Rowe--has been together since 1980. Prévost plays percussion, Tilbury piano, and Rowe guitar, but it's hard to imagine their lush auditory world as built from only these simple instruments.
Two house lamps lent intimate lighting to the church's fore, where AMM created its otherworldly sound. Tilbury left his stool to strike the inner strings of the piano with a mallet, just as Prévost tapped everything on his kit but the drumheads. Rowe's chosen weapon was a guitar laid on its back like an operating table, the surgeon hovering attentively over it, arranging his tools. As if in blessing, he laid his hands upon the strings to begin the performance before using his army of little fans, portable radios, and other electric gizmos to manipulate the guitar's highly sensitive pickups.
Subtle shifts in the static hum from the guitar washed over the ears, and Tilbury's slow chords on the piano sounded invigoratingly pure amid the noise. Prévost scraped the edge of a cymbal with a bow, manipulating the tone with gentle pressure. The audience of more than 100 sat attentive, many with heads down, concentrating. Time disappeared as AMM's music crept inside the head and lulled the listener into a rapt trance, leading the mind onto the plane of music where melodies disappear and mood and unpredictability rule.

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." - Bertrand Russell
My Motorrad
Since the problem is not yet resolved I want to go back to basics for a moment. Oil that seeps or leaks out of an engine seldom smells like "burned" oil unless one of two things happens:
1. It gets on something very hot like the exhaust header, catalytic converter, or muffler.
2. Is getting into the combustion chamber and being smelled in the exhaust.
We have nominations for leaking seals and for oil in the airbox. One would eventually appear external to the engine while the other could first appear in the combustion chamber and exhaust.
I think the next step in the process is to try to determine whether the smell is oil on hot engine parts or oil being burned in the combustion chamber.
My tried and true method for finding oil leaks is to use white antiperspirant spray powder or spray-type baby powder. I spray it on thoroughly cleaned parts where an external leak is suspect. The white powder sticks to the parts and engine oil will quickly produce a brown stain. If it is a slight leak or seep the stain spreads out from the point of origin, leaving a little arrow shaped brown spot pointing at the source of the oil.

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." - Bertrand Russell
Now that is a good tip, thanks.
It would be perfect except for the "thoroughly cleaned" part. I would have passed that right by, except I just happened to be looking under my bike earlier today...
Well, it's a bit cleaner on one side ... The other is a bit inaccessible until the baseboard is installed and the Las Vegas, Carmel, SF vacation is over.
I used a paper towel spot sprayed with WD-40 to clean the bottom of the sump area. What would you have used?
What I use as a cleaner depends a bit on what I am cleaning. I always used to use Gumout brand carb cleaner but it can soften and dull the painted engine parts. I still use it sometimes but avoid powder coated parts. CRC Brake cleaner is pretty benign to parts and leaves no residue. WD40 is a good solvent and I do sometimes use it but it is less effective at cutting through grime than the other choices. Plain old soap and water works pretty well too.

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." - Bertrand Russell
Thanks again for all your expertise. After removing 6 oz. of engine oil the odor continues. I went over the exhaust front to back again finding no signs whatsoever of oil burning off the exhaust parts. I also went over the engine and find nothing indicating a weep/leak. I will take the steps you suggest using baby powder to help find a source.
You note in #2: (oil) Is getting into the combustion chamber and being smelled in the exhaust. This may be a silly question, how does this happen? Or can you explain how this happens?
thanks again
Well, suspect #1 is the possibility of oil in the air box. That oil can be picked up by the intake air passing through the air box, through the throttle bodies to the combustion chamber. BMW equipped many air boxes with a drain plug at the bottom of the air box specifically due to this possibility.
You can loosen the clamps on the air tubes and slide them into the air box. Then take a clean cloth and rub it on the inside of the air tubes. Ditto on the air bores of the throttle bodies. Any oiliness would tell me there is oil in the air box being picked up by the intake air stream.
Beyond that we enter the realm of engine mechanical condition. The two prime spots for oil in the combustion chamber is past intake valve stems, or past rings.
I'd check the air box air stream first. Then a compression test and leakdown test could be in order.
The issues are not toally isolated. Oil in the air box accumulates from the crankcase vent. This is exaserbated when there is excessive blowby past the rings, but oil can condense in the airbox just from normal crankcase venting, and it can build up over time.
Also the amount of oil that might collect in the airbox is related to excessive oil in the crankcase air - if the engine oil level is too high.

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." - Bertrand Russell
I just went out and removed the painted plastic parts to gain access to the air "snorkel" tube, and air filter, which were removed. I examined both tubes for any obvious signs of oil using a paper towel attached to forceps and found nothing. Would one expect to see oil dampness on the paper towel or would it be more of a filming?
The bike just turned 7.5K miles and runs outstanding????
Since you have the plastic off I'd go one step further. Loosen the air tubes (black plastic) between the air box and the rear side of the throttle bodies. There is a clamp at the air box end and at the TB end. Wiggle-wiggle them rearward a bit and check the inside surfaces.
If these are essentially dry I would ride the thing until some obvious source of the odor becomes apparent.
It is entirely possible that what you smell is in fact in the exhaust from the combustion chamber. At that low mileage the bike is not fully broken in and some oiling past the rings is more likely than not.

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." - Bertrand Russell
It's not as easy to remove the intake tubes on the hexhead/camhead engines as on oilhead engines. Instead of screw clamps BMW used a type of reusable CV joint clamp that requires a special tool to remove and replace it. I found one of the tools on Amazon for about $15 or so.. it's made by Lisle (same one the BMW dealer had actually.)
The rubber tubes - unlike the oilhead tubes - do not extend into the airbox, there is a tube cast into the airbox that it connects to.
It is quite possible he has some oil in the airbox. Unlike earlier bikes, there is no oil drain in the airbox. I suspect BMW thought the crankcase vent would suffice for that purpose.. it comes off the left (port) forward corner of the airbox and goes straight down to the left side cylinder head. But - I have seen oil buildup in the airbox if the engine is overfilled. The bottom of these airboxes is molded to closely match the contours of the transmission.. meaning there are hills and valleys in the bottom. The valleys can fill with oil which won't drain back unless you lay the bike on it's side. I had what appeared to be a transmission output seal leak on my bike - that ended up being oil seeping out of the airbox and running back along the top of the transmission, dripping eventually down on the forward edge of the front swingarm boot. Sopping up the oil with a rag on a stick through the air-filter opening "cured" the leak.
It's possible his is leaking/seeping at some other airbox joint that isn't really visible and eventually ending up down on the exhaust. I'd suggest that he find someone with a borescope and take a good look at the inside/bottom of the airbox. That's how I found the oil in mine (Harbor Freight borescope works just great for this sort of thing.. bought it for the Porsche, used it for lots of other things now.. was on sale for $89.)

I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS 4.2.1, and I have an issue I am not sure how to handle. My short film was shot in 1920x1280 at 23.976fps. It was shot with a 2:35 aspect ratio in mind, so I have an 816 matte that I've put over the timeline, but the export is in 1920x1080. This matte covers the boom mic since we knew the aspect ratio when shooting.
I have a distribution company that wants an export with all active pixels, so no black bars. But if I take them out, the mic will show. How can I handle this? What should I export it as if the matte was taken off? 1920 x 816?
The project settings are:
general:desktop, 23.976fps, 1920x1080, square (1.0) for pixel aspect ratio, and 24fps timeline for display format.
Here's the movie with the black bars:
Any help would be really appreciated, thank you!
For pure web/browser delivery you can export out at 1920 x 816. This will give you the necessary crop, but without any black bars.
VOD may be another story. I'd be surprised to find any system that didn't conform to the video standard of 1920 x 1080 with the black bars. So you may want to ask them about that.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for the delay. So after trying the suggestions, I found the best route was to make a 1920x816 sequence, and then drop my original timeline into it. It cropped automatically what was needed, didn't need any black bar matte in there, so that solved that. The only problem is the export, and how adobe automatically puts black bars on the export. How do I solve that? In how it looks original it's perfect, yet the output slaps black bars on it. The only one that lets me keep the export at 1920x9816 is the F4v(FLV) format, and the export doesn't have black bars. But I need something higher quality and in either quicktime or an avi through h264. But those will keep the 1920, but not let me change the height to 816.
Any suggestions?

The 56th annual Grammy Awards will enshrine some outstanding albums and songs into the Grammy Hall of Fame, each one of them a true gem. Neil Young's After the Gold Rush leads the pack in my mind. It's a wonderful album, Neil at his best, and a staple of any Neil Young fan. All Things Must Pass, from George Harrison also makes the list, and rightfully so, as it not only contains the hits What is Life and My Sweet Lord, but also plenty of deeper material. CCR's Cosmo's Factory is another fine choice. It contains no less that half a dozen great CCR hits, including Travelin' Band, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Run Through the Jungle, Up Around the Bend, Who'll Stop the Rain and their marvelous version of Heard it Through the Grapevine. Chicago's Chicago Transit Authority, is still perhaps the band's best effort, and is remarkable in that amongst the hits Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is, and Beginnings, most of the material is six, seven, or eight minutes in length. The Joshua Tree from U2 was an album where almost every song could have been released as a single. (And sometimes I think they almost were.) Hidden amongst the smash hits I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Where the Streets Have No Name, and With Or Without You, are even better numbers such as Bullet the Blue Sky, and my personal favorite, Red Hill Mining Town. The final inductee is the Woodstock soundtrack. The only thing that amazes me about this addition is that it hasn't been inducted already. I would think that anything Woodstock would already be in any musical Hall of Fame. Individual song inductions include CCR's "Fortunate Son," "Honky Tonk Women" from The Rolling Stones, and War's "Low Rider."

Future's So Bright...
44 comments:
Cute dress and cardi! Love what you said about teachers, it's very true! I am not a teacher, but I've always had a lot of respect for them. I couldn't do that job. I can get frustrated at homework time with my kindergartener. I can't imagine trying to teacher a classroom of children. Her teacher is awesome and I'm soo happy she has her. I volunteer in class about once a week and have grown to love her teacher even more after watching her with the kids. The school day is from 9:15 - 3:30, but she's there at 7:30 and doesn't go home until 5! And of course she takes work home, she has two classes to prepare for. I am more than willing to help her out once a week and have even taken home things to cut out for the next day's project. I say kudos to teachers!! Where would our kids be without you?? So enjoy your time off, Katie! Who cares what people say. =)

I was always jealous of you teachers :P
I know it's harder than us outsiders think, I give you a lot of credit!
ps. can you tell me more about that dress and belt. I love it! - April 24, 2012 at 9:45 AM
i'm with you, i work in education with 15-16 yr olds, i am not a teacher but i am a learning assistant 1-1 with a special needs student (but i manage to support lots of others, its exam season at the moment in england)it is hard work, i'm not down playing how hard others work, but the holiday allowance can be a contentious issue! my husband calls my job 'part time' and winds me up quite a lot but i do need the break, i cannot explain how difficult looking after the academic, social and emotional care of lots of students can be - i also have morning and lunch duty - and a teachers work is sooo much harder! keep up the good work because teaching impacts lives in such a positive way, but you know that! x ps thanks for the beauty balm and mineral powder tip, i'm shopping tonight!

First of all, you look beautiful! Second, some of my closest friends are teachers and special ed ones at that. I know all too well about the stress teachers endure and have lots of respect for that profession. So thank you for educating our kids! :)

Love that dress Katie, and those shoes are too cute! I will definitely be jealous of your Summer off, though it's definitely deserved :)
The Other Side of Gray - April 24, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Both my mom and my sister taught for a few years so I know it's very hard work. I'm still going to be jealous of your summer "off" though! My dream is to find a job as a school social worker so I can reap the benefits of the school schedule :)

Pretty dress :) I believe teachers deserve the summer break. I think the kids need it too. It sucks that the summers are getting shorter and shorter :(

Teaching definitely sounds like a challenging job to me. I know it's something I would never be able to do, so I congratulate you for it! You deserve the rest! Cute outfit too btw :)

Awww, thanks so much! Teaching is very stressful. I mean I know tons of other jobs are too, but I don't have those jobs!
- April 24, 2012 at 12:04 PM
- Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...
Well, learning assistants have a tougher job and get less respect than teachers, so I feel for you! You are right about the stresses and responsibilities of teachers. We have one of the most hostile work environments and next to no support!
Hope you find some good stuff shopping tonight! - April 24, 2012 at 12:06 PM
- Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...
Sorry, I didn't link to the clothes today. Everything is really old. The dress is from Old Navy last spring. They have some similar styles, but not any muted colors I think. The belt was from New York and co from the fall. They don't have it anymore, but they have some similar styles. I love it!

I'm so glad your daughter has a great and dedicated teacher like that! I don't know if it would be harder or easier to deal with the same group of kids all day or not!

In BC at the moment, a lot of the problems or issues you listed have been splashed over the media since our province's teachers have gone on strike. I have two close friends who are teachers too and trust me, I know first hand from them that it is far from an easy job! On another note, I am loving soft pink on you - I love you in bright colours but that delicate tone is also stunning on you!

My sister is a 5th grade teacher and one of the hardest working people I know. Plus, she teaches ESOL at night to adults. I have no idea how she does it! She's even looking for a job over the summer to pay down debt.

from an outsider, I definitely am jealous of the teacher "summer vacation", but I have friends who are teachers, and work their booties off, so I know that what you say is true! And, I am so thankful for wonderful teachers like yourself, I don't think I could ever do it! And you look fabulous to boot

Hi katie,
I am Tarah of Tarah and the City.
I just found your blog and I love it. I have a special place in my heart for teachers. My Mom is a master teacher and she works damn hard. She never gets a break. So I really appreciate all your hard work. Teaching isn't easy. :)
You're a beauty and I'm looking Forward to more Posts.
Your new follower,

Brag away! Teachers definitely deserve it :) Stinks that you have to take a class, but at least you'll have a few weeks of doing nothing (which of course means lots of sleeping and outfit photos).
I think everyone is overworked in this country, why don't we get stinkin' siestas?! - April 25, 2012 at 7:09 AM
- Hems for Her, a.k.a. Katie said...
Amen! Will you run for president so I can vote for you?!?
I have a foreign exchange student from China in my elective class, and every day after she eats lunch she puts her head down on the desk and sleeps. Apparently, that's the norm in China (well, and she goes to school for like 15 hours a day, but we can pick and choose what we like, right?!?) - April 25, 2012 at 7:28 AM

School seems to start earlier each year. Teachers definitely deserve some time off from all of those kids.

Oh my gosh, don't you dare feel bad about your well deserved break! Teachers work so hard and make such a difference in children's lives. You you need to relax and recharge so you can do your good work.
Also I love that sweater/cardigan. I love the unusual play of textures and lengths with the longer, knit and the shorter, thinner dress. The colors are summery as well! - April 25, 2012 at 10:45 AM
Love your dress it is so cute. I think my sister who is a teacher would agree with everything you said. I however would give anything for any time of break. I really question becoming a lawyer. It leaves me so exhausted.

Teachers definitely deserve a more relaxed summer! I've watched my teacher friends do what you spoke of with not getting out at 3pm. They're usually working 10+ hour days! You sleep late in your PJs, Katie. Do it without shame. And YES, brag about it while you're at it.

Thank you, Mel, for your sweet comments about being a teacher!

I know all too well what the reality is for teachers! Way underpaid and overworked! "Summers off" is a joke these days, huh? Anyways, you look cute in your light colored outfit! ;-)
- April 26, 2012 at 1:04 AM
- AppGal said...
Preach it, girl! I'm lucky to get out by 5pm each day, and of course still have stacks of essays and projects to take home each night. And yep...summers are merely a few weeks at a time, especially when you factor in all the PD we're required to do (or just do because we're good teachers who want to better ourselves!) Plus...don't forget, we don't get paid for the summer months! Most non-teachers don't realize this! Thanks for clearing up those misconceptions. Regardless, I'll still be bragging about my break along with you :)
