Star Internships
For information on the Digital Design Intern Program, click here.
The Toronto Star Newsroom Internship Programs
The Toronto Star offers young journalists four internship programs. They are the reporting internships for summer and year-long, and the radio room internships for summer and fall-winter.
Interns work with full-time staff in a challenging but supportive environment. All Star internships are paid, contract positions.
We cannot accommodate volunteers, short-term placements or co-op students.
A full, unrestricted driver's licence is required for journalist positions (Radio Room excepted).
Summer Reporting Intern Program
This is a demanding program because summer journalists are hired on vacation replacement contracts — meaning that as full-time staff disappear on vacations, summer interns are expected to step up to the demands of replacing them.
The 12-week contracts for journalists are all general assignment positions and successful applicants could be writing features, covering crimes, courts, inquests, breaking news or health and education stories; in other words, anything that's happening. Summer journalists also shoot photos and must have multimedia skills.
The positions are open to college and university level students (or college and university level journalists) or students who graduate in the year of the summer program they are applying for. Previous experience at a daily newspaper is usually required.
The program begins with orientation. Monthly seminars and volunteer mentors offer additional support. The application deadline is Nov. 7, 2014 for the Summer 2015 intern program.
One-year Reporting Intern Program
The one-year program runs from September to September and is open to graduates under the age of 30 who have never held a full-time, permanent staff position at a Canadian daily newspaper.
Successful candidates spend time in a variety of departments including city, sports, living, business and photography. A demonstrated commitment to journalism is required, through a combination of formal journalism training and experience, or extensive experience. We will consider candidates with non-traditional qualifications and credentials.
Successful candidates spend time in a variety of departments including city, sports, living, business and photography. A demonstrated commitment to journalism is required, through a combination of formal journalism training and experience, or extensive experience. We will consider candidates with non-traditional qualifications and credentials.
The application deadline is July 4, 2014. The program starts Sept. 8, 2014.
The Radio Room
The Radio Room requires strong reporting and phone interview skills and the ability to work quickly and accurately.
Radio room reporters monitor emergency scanners, do police checks, monitor radio and television news as well as websites and social media. They report stories that are often crime or trauma related. In addition to writing for the newspaper, radio room reporters file breaking news stories and updates to the website in addition to writing for the newspaper.
The radio room environment is often hectic, so successful candidates must be calm, well-organized, able to juggle several tasks at once; able to persuade sometimes reluctant officials to talk and be prepared to interview victims of crimes or accidents, and family members of people killed or hurt in accidents or as a result of crimes.
The Radio Room is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by post secondary students working eight-hour shifts. Several students are hired in late summer to work part-time during the school year; a second group of students is hired to work through the summer months. The radio room has proven to be excellent preparation for summer programs at the Star, other dailies and websites. Strong news reporting experience at university or community papers or websites is required. Reporting experience at a daily is a strong asset. The application deadline is July 25, 2014 for the fall-winter 2014-15 program and Nov. 7, 2014 for the summer 2015 program.
Application deadlines:
One-year internship 2014-2015 Deadline is July 4, 2014. Program starts Sept. 8, 2014.
Radio room fall-winter 2014-2015 Deadline is July 25, 2014. Program begins Sept 2, 2014.
Summer 2015 for Radio Room and Reporting. Deadline Nov. 7, 2014.
What we look for
Enthusiastic, talented, curious and intelligent journalists with a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and a passion for journalism, who will bring energy, ideas and new perspectives to the paper. Fluency in other languages and experience with different cultural and ethnic communities are assets. A strong portfolio of published or posted work is required. Photography and multimedia skills are also required.
Packages should contain the following collated material (in this order):
- Cover letter, state position applying for at top of page in bold type. Include email, street address and phone number. Make sure your contact details are on the first page .
- Resume
- References
- Additional material, such as evidence of multimedia skills.
Application should demonstrate:
- A range of writing with a strong component of news stories
- Proven ability to write well, report thoroughly, synthesize and organize information
- Reporting experience outside school assignments and a demonstrated commitment to journalism
- Photography and multimedia experience
- Strong people skills
- Life experience that contributes to your development/ability as a journalist
How to apply
Each position and program requires a separate application with the exception of summer positions in the Radio Room. Those who apply for reporting jobs in the summer program are automatically considered for the radio room.
Please read the following instructions carefully. Applications and accompanying materials will not be returned. Once applications are in, we will be in touch only with candidates we would like to interview.
The Star accepts applications from candidates worldwide. All candidates must have the right to work in Canada, and your paperwork should be complete when you apply. If you do not have the proper documentation, The Star cannot assist in the process of applying for it.
Application packages for journalists must include a one-page cover letter, resume, three references (names and contact numbers — both home and cellphone numbers plus email addresses are sufficient but you may include reference letters if you wish) and a selection of six to eight published or posted pieces of work, a mix of news and features. If you are fluent in another language or have experience with diverse communities, please include that information in your resume. Applications are reviewed by a panel of two or three editors so we need three complete copies of your package, submitted together, collated, in one envelope.
Please send application packages for reporting positions to:
Peter Cooney
Team Editor, Training
Toronto Star Editorial Department, 5th Floor
1 Yonge St.
Toronto, Ont.
Guidelines for candidates
Please use letter-size paper for all elements of the package including photocopied or downloaded clippings and photos. Do not use binders, folders, report covers or fancy packaging. Please be aware that applications and extra materials, such as books, flash drives, CDs or magazines, will not be returned.
Please hold pages together with large paperclips.
Packages should contain complete contact information, including a full mailing address, email address, a phone number and cell phone number, if available. If you are living at a temporary address, please include alternate contact information that will not change for a six-month period (for example, your parents' address and phone numbers).
Our decisions are final, and while we understand the desire for feedback, we cannot provide individual assessments of candidates.
Published on March 14, 2014. Please note that the dates and details of the programs are occasionally subject to change. Any changes will be published as soon as possible here.

In The PipelinePaul Goldner is the author of Red Hot Customers and Red Hot Cold Call Selling, and as you might imagine, he's an expert in sales training. He has joined me on the show several times to talk about this issue.
Paul and I agree that one of the most important aspects of selling successfully is prospect development. Your pipeline. Pipeline? You know, the folks you are going to close next month because you did the prospecting last month. Yeah, those guys.
What's in YOUR pipeline? In most industries you can't count on business this month from prospects that you just identified. Sure, you're going to get some of that, but the selling cycle is often longer than a month, unless you're selling socks, or milk. In some industries it's not uncommon to have a multi-month selling cycle, sometimes more than a year. The longer the selling cycle, the more disciplined you must be at prospecting.
For most of us, prospecting is not something that we look forward to. It requires thought, strategy, planning, and actually picking up the phone or wearing out some shoe leather. None of which is as much fun as writing up the contract. Paul has a good thought on this. It's actually one of the Prospecting Commandments in his book.
Paul says, "Make an appointment with yourself every day to prospect". He adds, "Find the hour of the day that works for you and your schedule, and then put it on your planner every day.
One of the enemies of prospecting is success. You heard me right! Remember what I said about having fun writing contracts? If you worked really hard prospecting last month, and all that is paying off this month with business, the challenge you have is to stick to your prospecting plan. It's easy to lapse into a false sense of security when business is good.
Let's add a clause to Paul's prospecting Commandment. After "Make an appointment with yourself every day to work on prospecting", add this, "NO MATTER HOW MUCH BUSINESS YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW!"
Write this on a rock... Keep your prospect pipeline flowing by prospecting every day. Remember, it's the one that keeps that other pipeline full. You know, the one you get food from.
Paul Goldner's website is www.RedHotSales.com. He's working on some new things I think you will want to know about.

This is a wonderful school with a caring staff! We relocated here from out of state and was worried that this school wouldn't be as great as other schools that were talked highly of {Center Hills and Lewisberg} Olive Branch Elementary is JUST AS GREAT! The only reason why people are flocking to the other schools is because they are physically NEWER. The demographics are all the same at all these schools. Desoto County ALL has the same high standards. The BEST in Mississippi!
I am beyond unhappy with this school. My daughter has always loved school and she hates having to go here every day. The 1st graders are all mostly behind in reading and math and the teachers do not seem concerned at all. I get told it is normal. How is it normal for your child to be behind! I will move to not send my child here next year! TERRIBLE SCHOOL
My child is doing so well at this school. They put the chidlren first. Mrs. Barkley is a great principal and all the teachers are wonderful.
OBES this year and last year have been a big disappointment. When my older son went there 8 yrs ago, it was the best school ever...teachers and administrators. It has changed so much since then and I am having to move my 1st grader to a private school and return him to Kindergarden. The entire 1st grade is behind in reading and math. I feel that keeping my 1st grader here for the rest of the year would only hurt him further.
Overall I have been very impresssed with O.B.E.S. Ms. Barkley does a wonderful job leading her staff. The administration does a good job addressing discipline as well. I am a teacher for a nearby school system and would give my eye teeth to teach for any Desoto County School-the pay is just not where it needs to be, or I would try to be with Desoto County. My son is in 1st grade at OBES and his teacher Mrs. Chapman and her assistant Ms Angel do an outstanding job! My son actually enjoys school this year without problems! Kudos to all the teachers, staff, and administration at OBES.
Mrs. Denny has been a wonderful addition to OBES! Clone her or find more like her. Can she move to 1st grade to stay with my child?
Wonderful program that has made my child's first year of school one to remember. I give the professionalism of the teachers and support staff of Olive Branch Elementary School a A+,

Most Certainly They Do.Not a doubt in my mind that that my dogs have been my best friends. That cute little guy in the group logo...that's my lil' Pumpkin. He was the best dog I ever had & he was most certainly my best friend. He passed away this last Oct. at the age of 17 & it's been really hard without my lil' man always with me. A big part of my life is gone & I have good days & bad days. I always had animals in my life but he was something special...we had a special connection. He was so smart & although he was small in body he had the heart of a lion! He loved to romp & play & go where ever we went. He especially loved to go for walks & could find the only mud puddle around for miles...then he would head straight for it & you could see the muddy water soaking up his legs & onto his belly...yuck I'd think, what a mess, but then I'd have to smile 'cus, come on, look at that face!

Made the newly created map look a bit more parchmenty, lightened the weathering/aging on the older version, added a title to the first to match the second.. and who can resist the dancing girl? Certainly not Gromet
The white isn't so harsh now with the lighter parchment on the aged version, so I'm going to leave it as is, I think.
unless I find something else worth tweaking, I just may consider this done.
new things learned from this map:
how to make proper looking torn edges
when working from multiple computers, also keep copies of the fonts in the working folder, not just patterns textures and brushes

Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
Top 50 Title:
"It's long, it's tough, it's huge fun, and it's cheap." - Eurogamer.net
"With a level-headed team of four, Magicka's cooperative action is entrancing chaos. It's rare for a game to feel this mechanically satisfying.." - IGN.com
Magicka is an action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. The player assumes the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with the ultimate goal of stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his evil creations besieging the forces of good.
Players will be able to combine the elements to cast spells, wreaking havoc and devastation on the minions of darkness. They will also be able to team up with friends and fight their way through the campaign, or test their skills in the magickal arts in other challenging modes.
In Magicka, up to four players take on a grand adventure to save their world from certain doom using a fully dynamic spell system. The adventure mode takes the players across three different levels, ranging from the lush forests of mountain valleys to the frozen halls of the Mountain King where wits and creative thinking are keys to victory.
In the unlockable hardcore challenge modes, players fight off waves of enemies to earn their place on local and online leaderboards.
Key Features:
Innovative and dynamic spellcasting system with over a million possible combinations
Up to four-player co-op in all game modes, as well as a single-player option
Fight your way through 13 different levels in the campaign
Explore an expansive realm of adventure to defeat the evil wizard
Find and unlock challenges, items, and powerful Magicks
Experience the parody and satire of a clichéd fantasy world.

Perfect to play onlineSeuEdu | Sept. 23, 2014 | See all SeuEdu's reviews »
Good to spend time playing with the guys, besides being very entertaining I once had this game on my steam, but I lost count after I spent Two years without a computer, now I'm already with new computer, I will buy it again more money is missing here TT was one of my favorites to pass the time. Sorry for my english, I'm not American, I live in Brazil then gives a discount for me right ^^. Other than that the game is simply sensational
Magicka Flittersyngdr | Sept. 9, 2014 | See all yngdr's reviews »
A co-op game, playable solo. Magicka has decent graphics and great spell visuals, with gnome sounding spell-casters. The fight mechanics are clearly created for online co-op play as enemies are stronger and merciless in there attempts to kill you. Fun is had nevertheless. Grab it on sale, but watch out for tons of dlc.
Fun timesFourclops | Aug. 31, 2014 | See all Fourclops's reviews »
The game is a fun adventure game with tons of jokes, great animation, nice gameplay and a lot of interesting content. Throwing you right away in a tutorial dungeon, it actually lets you have fun instead of nagging you about it.
It also has the option for co-op, which makes it a lot better than you'd expect.
Fun magic.Furrek | July 31, 2014 | See all Furrek's reviews »
With few elements you can create many interesting spells - like lasers, or some fire spells to burn up your enemies (and friends). Why friends? For fun. Even if it's a game mostly for cooperation, you can still fight with eachother and check out who is a better wizard. What's a really shame in this game, are DLCs. There are some that contain a few new and interesting levels, but some of them are just useless stuff. Well, you still can enjoy this game by yourself, or with friends, without buying any of DLCs. I think Magicka is worth buying, but if you like to have "complete" games - then you might want to rethink idea of buying this game - with the price of getting full set of DLCs you can get something more interesting.

You have different abilities, such as lighthings, fire balls, stuns and stuff, you can also buy items in the store as u win games or lose, it gives you points and with that points you can afford a weapon,robe and everything you wish. The movement is same like every other MOBA - mouse and tons of keys combinations are included in the spells. You have to capture your enemy's base points and once u capture 3 of them, you win the game. The pressure can be felt when you see them coming for you and 1 second left untill you capture the point. It has good graphics, really good actually, can't complain about them. The only thing i didn't like are the key combinations for the spells. Everything else is well optimized. It will run on very low end pc's so if you are a fan of moba's that's the game for you.

According to a story in the Vallejo (Calif.) Times-Herald, a 21-year-old California man was stuck in a child's swing at a park for around nine hours last weekend after reportedly making a $100 bet with his friends.
According to the Times-Herald story, the man lubricated his legs with laundry detergent to get into the swing. The man's friends then reportedly left him after he was stuck, the story says. Firefighters were called to help extricate the man from the swing, according to the Times-Herald report.

USA Sevens Pool B profile: NZL, FJI, AUS, SCO
We look at the four teams in Pool B at the USA Sevens in Las Vegas, and it looks every inch the group of death: New Zealand, Fiji, Australia and Scotland.
New Zealand
Coach: Sir Gordon Tietjens
2013/14 position (after 3 rounds): 1
USA 2013: Cup runners-up
2012/13 Series: Champions
The obvious headlines for New Zealand - other than Sir Gordon Tietjens now having a facebook page - are the loss of Tomasi Cama Joe Webber and Sherwin Stowers to injury at various times over the last week. Cama is still the best playmaker in the Sevens game, and one of the finest conversion kickers, but it must console the coach that he has a fine replacement in Gillies Kaka, plus the recalled Mark Jackman. DJ Forbes captains the side and with Scott Curry, Sam Dickson, Tim Mikkelson and Bryce Heem alongside him the backs can expect plenty of ball to play with. Stowers and Webber are big losses although Waisake Naholo and David Raikuna more-than-capable replacements, and young Ambrose Curtis's Sevens career is only three events old but can already produce quite a showreel.
Coach: Ben Ryan
2013/14 position (after 3 rounds): 3
USA 2013: 4th
2012/13 Series: 3rd
Former captain Levani Botia is set to return to action for the first time since Ben Ryan took over as coach and there is a consistency in selection which was so obviously lacking last season. Osea 'Oscar' Kolinisau retains the captain's armband, while the brilliant Pio Tuwai is back for more alongside the season's joint-top try-scorers, Benito Masilvu and Samisoni Viriviri, the latter of whom is Montpellier-bound in June but committed to Sevens until then. It will be fascinating how Fiji and New Zealand approach playing each other for the first time since Fiji's 44-0 whitewash in Dubai. The kiwis certainly won't need much of a team talk for that one..
Coach: Michael O'Connor
2013/14 position (after 3 rounds): 5
USA 2013: Shield winners
2012/13 Series: 8th
Having finished second at their home event on the Gold Coast, it's been tough for the Aussies since then, given their own high standards. They failed to reach the Cup quarters in both Dubai and South Africa, although they did win the Bowl in Dubai and finish runners-up in the Bowl to England in PE. The major team news is that captain Ed Jenkins injured himself in the gym in the few days prior to their departure - a major blow. From his last squad coach Michael O'Connor also bids farewell to Super Rugby-bound Sean McMahon as well as Queensland star Luke Morahan and James Stannard is injured, although Cameron Clark, Allan Fa'alava'au and Peter Schuster are all now fit. It's a tough group to be faced with when trying to kick-start your season.
Coach: Stephen Gemmell
2013/14 position (after 3 rounds): 12
USA 2013: Plate runners-up
2012/13 Series: 13th
Coach Stephen Gemmell looks set to retain seven of the 12 players from the last round in South Africa as the Scots embark on a pool campaign which couldn't really be any tougher. Captain Colin Gregor is there as a mainstay alongside Scott Riddell, Lee Jones, John Houston and Michael Maltman and they are all crucial to their chances. From the squad that competed in South Africa Mark Robertson, Andrew Turnbull, Joe Nayacavou, Mark Bennett and Jack Ferguson are all out, replaced by Finlay Gillies, Struan Dewar, James Johnstone, Russell Weir and debutant Scott Wight.

Bryan Singer talked at great length with Empire Magazine about the new X-Men movie and how he is planning on bringing all of the X Franchises together.
"It's epic. I don't think people realize how big this movie's going to be. We get to bring both casts together. We've cracked it in a way that it makes sense. I had a two-hour conversation with James Cameron about time travel, string theory, multiverses and all that. You have to create your rules and stick wtih them. That's why Terminator and Back To The Future work so well. And there are certain mechanisms in X-Men, certain powers, perceptions and characters, that make this possible."
He also talks about finding a balance between staying faithful to the source material and creating a film of this magnitude.
"It has a lot of aspects of the comic. The actual comic of Days Of Future Past had a whole ton of stuff going on, so it�s like any of these things; you have to distill it. But I think the fans will be pleased that some of the most exciting parts of Days Of Future Past are going to be connected to this movie."
Bryan Singer also answers some of the fans main concern about which films are canon, and which he will dismiss. Spoiler Alert, he is taking into account the events of X-Men The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Both films were deeply criticized by fans and movie critics alike.
"I�m taking into account every movie � I�m not just grabbing my first two movies and First Class and smashing them together. I�m taking into account the entire universe as it�s been laid out so far on the screen, and really respecting it and trying to work with that.
People took things in various directions, so there�s some clean-up. But ultimately I�m not just ignoring them either.
As a die hard fan boy of the Phoenix Saga, I hope that the cleanup he speaks of is in relationship to Ratner's interpretation of it in The Last Stand. And that we can see a true representation of it on the big screen again. After all, they rebooted Spiderman in 5 years!
Anyway, according to the director, if you want to get the latest info, stick to twitter, that's how he has been communicating about the movie and doesn't intend to stop using it. But of course we hope you follow us here or on Facebook to get the latest!
"I�ll be using Twitter as an avenue. I think Twitter is an amazing thing. Very often something gets out there in the rumour-sphere, and people start building up an impression of something that might not be right. So what I want to do is just little by little drop out whatever information is official."
X-Men Days of Future Past is expected to be released on July 18, 2014.

Rock Valley College
Chiefs come out flat, fall to RVC in final home game of 2013
Conference: No
Opponent: Golden Eagles at Chiefs
With a Chiefs' Spirit Day crowd on hand and the game being televised "live" via Waubonsee's website, the Chiefs came out flat and could never quite recover in a 73-51 loss to Rock Valley College. Ranked fifth in the latest NJCAA Division III poll, the Golden Eagles (11-1) scored the game's first 15 points. Waubonsee (5-7) finally got onto the scoreboard after eight and a half minutes of play when Tevin Webb scored on a drive to the basket. By the time the dust settled after 20 minutes of play, the Chiefs trailed 35-16. In that dismal first half of play, Coach Dave Heiss' squad managed to only get off 14 shot attempts, making six for a misleading 43 percent success rate. Meanwhile, Rock Valley made as many baskets during that same period of time, shooting 36 percent (14 of 39) from the field.
While former Waubonsee coaches Bill Prince and Doug Hill were being recognized for their induction into the NJCAA Region IV Hall of Fame at halftime, the Chiefs were trying to figure out how to get going offensively. An extended halftime break, which included Academic Awards honors for student-athletes' achievements from last year, unfortunately did not help the Chiefs regroup. Rock Valley began the second half with a 14-5 run to grab a commanding 49-21 lead. The Golden Eagles led by 30 points (62-32) with six minutes left when the Chiefs finally began to click on the offensive end of the floor. Waubonsee finished the game on a 19-9 run, but it was far too little and far too late to prevent the Chiefs from dropping their fifth straight game. Waubonsee also missed sophomore leader Nick Townes (11.2 points-per-game), who sat out for the second straight game with an ankle sprain.
Ricardo Martin tallied 14 points, blocked three shots and grabbed five rebounds to lead Waubonsee. Raheem Jackson added 13 points, Roderick Adair handed out four assists and made three steals, and Webb dished out three assists in the loss. The Chiefs finished the game with 25 turnovers and made only half of their free throw attempts (8 of 16). Waubonsee ended the game shooting a misleading 56 percent (20 of 36) from the field, including 64 percent (14 of 22) in the second half.

Montreal's Public Bikes To Use Web, RFID, Solar
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the all-the-green-words dept.146
Ian Lamont writes "Montreal is preparing to launch a Web- and RFID-enabled public bike system that allows residents and visitors to rent bicycles at special depots scattered throughout the city. Using a Web site, riders can check out a real-time inventory of available bicycles at the depot locations. At the depots, a solar-powered base station will process credit cards or member cards. The bike docks use RFID, and the system is supposedly easy to install and maintain. A pilot program will launch in September with four bike depots."

#nomakeupselfie #butwhy?
Wait, how did this happen to me again?! How did I get sucked into the off-beat, quirky, coffee-loving, donut-eating, giant-talking, fire-walking soap opera that is Twin Peaks all over again? Is it because the 90's are back? Is it because David Lynch looks like a wonderful mad scientist? No idea, but the obsession is certainly worst the second time around!
Taking a trip back in time I had forgotten how bonkers and lovable the characters are (is that really you? Hank Moody in drag?) and the fashion is just so … Twin Peaks.
From the over-sized cardigans all the female characters seem to wear all the time (it never even snows but everyone is always wrapped up warm, which gets bonus points in my book) to the orange lips and strong brows. The plaid skirts (so now!), the flat shoes, the baseball jackets, the shoulder padded suits and the wood, the wood is everywhere (you can even cuddle it as your own pet, like Log Lady does). The neat geometric lines, the spooky light, the crazy camera angles and of course the mesmerizing music.
Above all, my personal style crush has to be Audrey: the brunette Marilyn, sexy yet innocent, mysterious and dreamy.
In Twin Peaks, nothing is what it seems, not even Leo Johnsons' hair.
Oh Diane, I almost forgot. if you ever get up this way that cherry pie is worth a stop.
The headscarf is making a comeback. Fact. And I love it, not only because it reminds me of when my mum used to make me wear it on windy days at the beach but also because there are endless iconic pictures of beautiful actresses wearing them. And so impeccably! The gorgeous, luxurious silk frames their head beautifully, not a hair out of place, their eyes gazing into the unknown.
Of course I can't think headscarf without thinking Jackie O: she truly made it her trademark style and wore for all kind of occasions, from official travels to holidaying in Capri. And so did BB and Audrey and the Queen!
The headscarf is timeless yet playful, iconic yet modern, elegant yet handy (you know, for those in-between hair wash days).
Just one question though: how do you keep the damn thing from sliding off your head every 2 minutes?! Is there a device or something? Some mysterious invisible pins? Come on you members of the secret headscarf society, unveil your trick once and for all!

Michelle A. has not yet had a background check. After sending a message to Michelle, you will be able to order a background check for $7.99. The check will be processed by First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
I am an experienced writing and science teacher and can help you or your child improve in those areas. Whether you are studying for an upcoming SAT, ACT, GED or other writing (or science) intensive exam, or you are simply looking to take your skills to the next level, I can help you succeed and achieve your goals.
Whatever your needs, you can be sure that I will provide the professional support and instruction you would expect, and I will tailor each lesson to your specific learning style at a pace that is both comfortable and productive.
Bio: Prior to my work as an Independent Consultant, I was the Founding Principal of an environmentally-themed NYC public high school, a founding science teacher and curriculum developer at the High School for Environmental Studies, and a wildlife biologist specializing in endangered species protection. I earned a master's from New York University in Education of the Emotionally Disturbed, and from Columbia University in Conservation Biology.
ACT can seem tricky at first, but with a few smart tips and some practice you will improve your score dramatically! I will work with you to pinpoint the areas you need to work on and we will focus on those first. I am confident that I can help you to improve your skills and get the results you want!
Science, on this test, is more about reading comprehension and understanding how to interpret graphs than it is about your knowledge of the sciences. It is not difficult once you realize what you are being asked. I will help you learn what to look for and how to interpret the graphs with ease.
I have taught high school biology for many years. I was the founding teacher of the High School for Environmental Studies where I taught this subject for 10 years.
In 2006 I graduated with a second masters degree from Columbia University in Conservation Biology. Ecology is one aspect of this area of study and integral to all of the work that we do as conservation biologists. I later went on to open my own high school, The Academy for Conservation and the Environment in Brooklyn NY.
I am certified (NY State) to teach Earth Science and Biology in middle and high school. I know the subject matter for the grade schools as well, as it is simply a watered down version of what the students are taught in the higher grades. Previously in my teaching career I taught science grades K-4.
I will help you with the skills you need to strengthen to become a better writer, a more effective reader, a clearer communicator and a more confident test taker. All levels, from grade school to adult, essays to business plans.
Whether you are studying for an SAT, writing a business report, or just want to be a better all-around writer, grammar counts! Make sure you write right and make it count for you. Topics range from parts of speech and sentence structure to punctuation and other mechanics of writing.
Living Environment and Earth Science: I have been teaching Regents Earth Science, Environmental Science, and Living Environment Regents for many years. I am certified by NYS as a Biology and an Earth Science Teacher and have been since 1992.
I have an excellent track record helping students understand difficult concepts, and will be able to help your child do well on these required state exams. I guarantee success.
SAT writing is very specific in its requirements. I will teach you both the specific skills on which you are going to be tested AND tips and 'tricks' that are easy to use to help you to answer even the most challenging questions.
We will work to increase your vocabulary, insure that you are using words correctly, and learn how to communicate more effectively. If you are studying for a the SAT or other exam we will work on how to use the vocabulary you know to help you increase your test scores. The better able you are to use language in speaking and writing, the more likely you are to do well in school as well as in your chosen career.
I work with children and adults, of all ages and abilities, on many different aspects of writing. Whether it is to do better in school, prepare for an ELA exam or SAT, write a college essay, edit a college paper or blog, or prepare a business document, I will help you improve your skills. Your confidence in your writing will increase, as will your ability to express yourself clearly and effectively. So if you struggle with writing, or simply want to reach the next level of your performance, I will work with you (or your child) to achieve your desired goals.

Notes from the Neighborhood
Swindler of UES Woman Indicted
Philip Leopold, who is charged with grand larceny, forgery, falsifying business records and several other charges, was indicted this week for stealing over $1.6 million from an 85-year-old Upper East Side woman who is nearly blind, has hearing problems and other health issues. Leopold, who is 76, first met his victim about 40 years ago, and he began helping her with her finances, writing out checks for her to sign to pay for her household expenses. In 2002, he convinced her to open a trust and name him and the Bank of New York as trustees, and he gradually began siphoning money into that account until it held $2 million by 2003. He began writing fraudulent checks to himself and forged letters to the bank, requesting transfers into his own accounts. According to court documents, Leopold used the stolen funds to pay for a myriad of expenses, from everyday household goods to several life insurance polices for him and his daughter. He spent $63,000 on storage units in Manhattan and used $882,000 to pay off his personal credit cards. Perhaps most appallingly, he spent over half a million dollars at ShopNBC, a television and online shopping site. He bought thousands of items through home shopping channels, including jewelry, electronics, figurines, coin collections, kitchen supplies and a "multi-color fog maker." Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement that the actions the defendant stands accused of are "sadly, not uncommon," and he encourages anyone who is a victim of or suspects someone they know to be a victim of elder abuse to call the DA's hotline at 212-335-9007.
Historic Walking Tour
Preservation advocacy group Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts is leading a walking tour of the Carnegie Hill Historic District next Saturday, May 12. The walk will meander through the East 80s and 90s, with tour leader Bernie Cohen pointing out the sights along the way. The district, which was designated in 1974 and expanded in 1993, is the second largest on the Upper East Side and contains within its boundaries many rows of townhouses, freestanding residences and apartment buildings. The area was named for industrialist Andrew Carnegie, whose mansion on Fifth Avenue and East 91st Street now houses the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Participants should meet at the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and East 86th Street at 1 p.m. Advance payment ($15, $10 for members) is required; call 212-535-2526 or visit www.friends-ues.org/events to purchase tickets.
City Planning to Unveil East Midtown Rezoning
The Department of City Planning will be presenting the results of its East Midtown Zoning Study to Community Board 6 this week. The department is expected to present a plan for rezoning that would create an increase of available commercial space by 20 to 30 percent. The "upzoning" would encourage buildings to be made taller (current zoning does not place a cap on height) in order to gain this space increase and also create ways for newer and more modern structures to be built in the area. The region affected would be between East 39th and 59th Streets, between Third and Fifth Avenues. Mayor Bloomberg has made it clear that he wants to see the region revamped and able to attract new business, especially technology companies; he has said that the city should make sure it is doing all it can to attract business to the area. Some neighborhood groups, including the Turtle Bay Association, are wary of the city making fast changes and will be watching the process closely, as will real estate interest groups who support changes that allow for more development.
Mayfair Block Party
The Church of the Holy Trinity, which is known locally as the "dog-friendly church," is holding a free community block party this Saturday, May 5, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Animal companions are welcome, and there will be special activities for cats, dogs and other pets. There will be toys and treats for sale, a silent auction to win a custom portrait of a pooch, pet horoscopes and training tips. For humans, there will be a health care booth with a doctor and physician's assistants on hand to check blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels. Kids can play in the bouncy castles, get their faces painted to match their canine companions and participate in crafts. There will also be food from the nearby Genesis Restaurant for sale, as well as beer and wine. The French Cookin' Blues Band will be supplying the musical vibes for the event. East 88th Street between First and Second Avenues.
Women in Arts Celebrated
The Czech Center and Composers Concordance Records are hosting an evening of art and music by women, "Ladies First," on Friday, May 18. The opening reception will feature a video installation with interviews of prominent female artists, many of whom will be in attendance at the event. The chamber music concert to follow will feature world premiere works as well as Czech composer Antonin Dvořák's themes. Audience members can meet the musicians and artists at the after-party. The event runs from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Bohemian National Hall, 321 E. 73rd St. Suggested donation $20, RSVP at ladiesfirstnyc.eventbrite.com.

The same storm or storms that postponed the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals game to Monday, August 4th came through my home area previously, knocking out power and internet connections … I think so. I say "think so" because I don't know any details at all. I'm cut off from the world with no power or connections. I can see that the internet provider is not operating. I simply heard a one-sentence announcement on the car radio that the game has been postponed.
So, this is a challenge to write an article on battery power and candlelight. Late at night here on Tuesday evening, I don't know what the teams are planning to do about pitching assignments for Wednesday – if they will continue with the original plan just pushed back a day or what?
I thought it might be interesting to look back to this week just two years ago and see what I was writing about the Orioles at the beginning of July. And it is really encouraging to review and see how far the Baltimore Orioles have indeed progressed from that time.
I wrote an article in the first week of July 2012 about what the Orioles needed to address for the second half of the season to be a success. And it certainly was! For the first half of the season the Birds were 44-37, but they then put up a record of 49-32 for the second half.
The text that I include here in italics is excerpted from that article of just two years ago this week…
To repeat an already worn-out theme: this is better than practically anyone would have expected in, say, March. Though everyone would acknowledge some good things have happened for the Orioles this year, I don't think most Birds fans have a confident sense of expectation for the rest of the year. Much of that is the "14-year history," though more of it has to do with inconsistency of performance, the common RISP problems, and glaring defensive errors.
If you recall from the spring of 2012, there were few people expecting the Orioles to contend. Most would have been thrilled with a simple .500 season. The O's had a great start in April, but then did not do as well in the second quarter of the year; and you can see from what I wrote that there was a lot of worry and lack of confidence that even the good first half of the year could be repeated. Inconsistent play and problems with RISP sometimes still continue to be an issue, but we may forget what incredible strides have been made defensively in the past two years. Not only was it successfully addressed for the second half of 2012, it became the foundation for setting all-time records in 2013. Who would have seen that happening just two years ago today?
Right now, the Orioles have only about one-half of a regular line-up of high performers in the field and at the plate. Think about it! That statement may have even been generous. There is Adam Jones in center and Matt Wieters at catcher. Sometimes J.J. Hardy, Chris Davis, and Wilson Betemit rise to high performance standards, and Nick Markakis is on the road back. But that's it … everyone else is a fill-in at this point. The Orioles need to particularly have the latter four names pick it up and carry this team.
At this point, the Orioles are only "filling in" at catcher and second base. The catcher situation has been at least adequate and only exists because of the season-ending injury to Wieters. And Jonathan Schoop is growing and learning on the job; and it would not be a big surprise to see him suddenly turn the corner into a high level of performance.
In 2012 I especially "went off" on the issue of third base …
This is a huge problem. There really is not a visible solution. I don't know how to evaluate any trade possibilities for such, as it seems too far into the speculative to comment upon. But the internal options are all rather poor defensively. This is becoming a top priority for the offseason.
Of course this was still a few weeks before Manny Machado was moved to third in the minors for a few games, and then brought to the Orioles where the whole defense made a dramatic shift.
I was also fretting about left field in 2012 …
With Nolan Reimold out of the equation, insert Avery. He has the tools, will be a best choice on defense, and can maybe grow over the next 81 games to become a regular player in the major leagues.
Now the Orioles have Nelson Cruz, Delmon Young, Steve Pearce and David Lough as options. That is quite a difference.
And not only that, first base was even a concern at this point just two years ago …
There are a number of choices (hopefully which do not include Nick Johnson). Actually, Mark Reynolds is the best defensively (I'll pause for a moment while the words "Mark Reynolds" and "best defensively" sink in as having been used in the same sentence without a negative). Chris Davis should be put here and worked with and worked with to make it a positive situation. He has looked so horrible at digging any throws out of the dirt, etc… but the guy has the ability and his bat needs to stay in the lineup most days. He could be a star player if he can learn consistency at the plate. He'll probably always be a streaky hitter, but few people can spank a ball as he does. He has to play until he proves like Mark Reynolds has (imho) that, nice guy aside, he needs to take a train somewhere else.
Yes, I was one of those who did not grieve the loss of Mark Reynolds, though he did play better after this article was written, especially defensively at first base. But look at how far Crush was from being considered an every-day player at that time.
The leadoff position was unclear in the middle of 2012 with Brian Roberts injured yet again, and I am pleased to see how wise I actually was on this subject, even if I was pretty wrong on a couple of others …
OK… call me crazy on this one. Hey, I know the name coming up is not the quintessential leadoff guy … I argued for this actually all the way back to early spring training … OK … here it comes: Nick Markakis. I know he is not the base stealing threat that is desired, but he works pitchers and gets on base at a decent percentage. And remember, this person only really leads off once a game most times.
Markakis has proven to be a serviceable, if not approaching terrific, leadoff hitter for the Orioles this year. Few others hit at his pace. I would like to chart that for you, but that will have to wait for electricity to get to me.
And I was complaining about the pitching rotation as well, which is a perennial Baltimore song, but with good reason. But look at this paragraph and see if it does not make you feel better about where we are at here in 2014 at this point, compared to just two years ago.
The Starting Rotation – How many in March would have predicted Jason Hammel and Wei-Yin Chen to be our 1-2 guys at the halfway point? Brian Matusz and Tommy Hunter had to go down – where maybe someone there can help them the way someone somewhere helped Chris Tillman. So, let's go with Tillman for a while and hope for good things to repeat – but 97 mph in the 9th inning in not a fluke!! Jake Arrieta is maddening. His ball has so much movement; how can he not dominate? And hopefully Zach Britton can be brought on to put together a solid second half. It is not crazy to imagine these five names being a winning combination.
Of course, Tillman did really come through in a big way, as did an unknown fellow at the time – Miguel Gonzalez. Also, the bullpen was the strength of the team, which I commented upon positively in that piece.
All in all, the Baltimore Orioles in July 2014 are in a much better place than were the Birds of 2012 in terms of personnel. Even so, it will be difficult to replicate a 49-32 second half, but they are off to a good start so far at 7-1. And unlike 2012, the rest of the AL East is not in the condition they were at that time. It is all very encouraging, even if it is still frustrating at times when men are left on base and starters don't get deep into a game.

The Georgetown Hoyas outscored West Virginia by 15, 47-32, in the second half, erasing a three-point halftime lead by the Mountaineers and cruising to a 77-65 victory in an opening-round game in the National Invitation Tournament played at Georgetown.
West Virginia's Juwan Staten tallied 23 points to lead the Mountaineers, who shot 54 percent in the opening 20 minutes, but cooled off considerably in the second half t0 37 percent. The Mountaineers showed some life in the first half – exhibiting considerably more energy and productivity than in their last road game, against Texas in the Big 12 Tournament – but they chose the wrong rime to run dry on the offensive end. Georgetown reversed the tables in the final 20 minutes, upping their shooting proficiency to 52 percent.
D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera of the Hoyas had a season-high 32 points and 10 rebounds, including seven-for 10-shooting after the break. Teammates Markel Starks and Jabril Trawick added 14 and 12 more, respectively, as the Hoyas downed their former Big East foe for the first time in the past six meetings.
This was the first meeting between the two schools since West Virginia left the Big East for the Big 12 in 2012.
The game was played on campus at Georgetown in the Hoyas' practice gym, which holds about 2,500 spectators. Ordinarily Georgetown plays home games at the Verizon Center in downtown Washington, D.C., but that facility is booked this week because the circus is in town.
West Virginia ends its season with a 17-16 overall mark. Georgetown moves on in the NIT to play top-seed Florida State, who beat Florida Gulf Coast Tuesday night.
