These days, it seems that when someone makes an animated film, someone else clearly has to come along and make a game, and even kung fu pandas aren't exempt from this rule.

Getting Back in the Swing (Sabbatical's really over)
Six weeks in, and I'm back in the swing.
I could write "it feels like I never left" but that wouldn't be true. I'm calmer, feel better. Leave aside that I've studied a lot and seen a lot, been to a lot of cool places, made new friends… And I have continued life without an alarm clock. I hope to never use one again.
But the first couple of weeks – and I'm not asking for sympathy, since I deserve none – I was tired each evening by 7, sometimes earlier. I can write a lesson, and manage a classroom, all that good stuff, but physically I was a first year teacher all over again.
But here I am, finishing up my first "interim reports," giving my second round of tests (in the courses where I test, more about that another time), collecting my first rounds of projects… Back in the swing.
This week three classes solved "How many three digit numbers are there?" (one class found six ways to count them) and "In a 73 player single elimination tournament, how many matches are played?" and wrote up their process.
Another class, that's been getting a quickly paced diet of algebra review (trinomial factoring with two and three digit coefficients, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing algebraic fractions, polynomial long division) oohed and aahed when they learned that for they could divide straight across.
And my seniors, they completed a four equations, four unknowns project, and turned in mostly clean, well-annotated work, and then had what I thought was a really good talk about keeping the stress level down during the next few months of college applications.
The only thing missing now is blogging…
Teachout for Governor, Robert Jackson for State Senate
In the first UFT Executive Board of the year, New Action moved the endorsement of Zephyr Teachout for Governor. The motion was debated (2 speakers for, 3 against) and overwhelmingly defeated. Yet it was important that the issue came forward, and that opposition to Cuomo was acknowledged.
I spoke about Robert Jackson during the question period. Given the NYSUT endorsement of the other guy, a motion seemed besides the point. But what does Jackson have to do – Hero of Public Education, Dewey Award Winner (UFT), Lion for the Children of NY – to earn the UFT's support?
Sabbatical – last 48 hours of freedom
Summer Vacation 2013. Then a study sabbatical 2013-14. Then Summer Vacation 2014. And now, after 14 months out of school with very few exceptions, there's one more hour until I'm going back.
The last 48 hours:
Sunday, 8AM Answer e-mails, read news, light breakfast in room, stretch, pack.
Sunday, noon. Check out. Check bag. Walk down University towards the Rogers Centre.
Sunday, 12:30. Front Street by the Rogers Centre and the Metro Toronto Convention Center are adjacent. Yankees fans, Jays fans, and Fan Expo Canada all mixed together, dressed like their favorite character, be they the Riddler, Jeter, or Lind. Who looks silliest?
Sunday, 1PM. Jeter Ceremony. They gave him a trip to Banff.
Sunday, 3:30. Quick game. Yankees lose 4-3.
Sunday, 4:30. Pho Orchid for a bowl of soup. (rare beef). Then cafe sua da, or whatever it's called. Vietnamese iced coffee. Sweet. I spent myself down to about C$4.
Sunday, 5:30. Express bus to the airport.
Sunday, 6:45. Arrive Pearson.
Sunday, 7PM. I learned that that nifty passport card, good for Canada and Mexico, is only valid for LAND and SEA, not AIR travel. I get a confused agent at pre-security. Then an explanation at Passport Control, and a folder to carry, which they take at Customs and send me into an office, where I get a "talking to" and they stamp my entry stamp on my boarding pass. Then a confused flight attendant looks at my passport card. But I'm good.
Sunday, 10PM. On curb, LaGuardia. Wait half an hour for the M60. Not reasonable at that hour. Bus is packed. Woman blocks access to the center aisle with an empty stroller. Driver announces last stop is Steinway. Then repeats herself, "last stop in Queens…"
Sunday, 11:30. Home. I binge watch House (Season 6, 3 episodes) and go to sleep.
Monday, 9:30. Katie arrives. Pack a little. We drive to a deli, get trail snacks, and a sandwich for me. Pick up Adil and Meryem.
Monday, 11:30. Storm King. Beautiful weather, skies clear for us, storms must be to our south.
Monday, 4:30. Home. We did a shorter loop.
Monday, 6PM. Walk to Garden Gourmet (about 2 miles). Shop. Walk home.
Monday, 7:30. Phone calls.
Monday, 8:30. Binge watch House. Season 6, three episodes.
Monday, 11:30PM, last sleep before work.
Tuesday, 5:30AM… you know… but without an alarm
Tuesday, 7, coffee in hand, write blog post.
Tuesday, 7:15 (right now). Finish post, shower. And the first walk to work…
Unjust, unfair firing of probationary teachers – give them a second chance.
NEWS RELEASE Contact: Greg Distefano August 28, 2014 Phone: 718 757 4552
Unjust, unfair firing of probationary teachers – give them a second chance.
Press conference
Tuesday, September 2, 4:30 PM
in front of the Department of Education (Tweed), 52 Chambers Street.
Stephanie (Barchitta) Casertano PS3 Staten Island and
Dana Parisi PS253 Brooklyn,
both discontinued, will speak briefly, will deliver their appeals to Carmen Fariña, and will be available for interview.
Others may join them.
Under the Bloomberg / Klein administration, many principals were hired based on management, not educational/pedagogical skill. While some grew to be fine principals, hundreds remained incompetent and became abusive. And as probationers can be fired without cause, hundreds of probationary teachers were unjustly discontinued and prohibited from working anywhere in the NYC Department of Education.
The teachers here today could work elsewhere in the system – other principals want them. They spent many years of college preparation, and were fired without being given proper support. But they are unfairly barred. They are asking the Chancellor to review their discontinuances. And we urge the Chancellor to review all the discontinuances of incompetent principals.
New Action is a caucus within the United Federation of Teachers.
Frustrating Endorsements
State Senate
11 – UFT ally, John Liu, against Tony Avella who once challenged Bloomberg, but more recently joined the IDC to help Klein and the Republicans steal back the senate that they'd lost
31 – long time friend of public education and the UFT Robert Jackson, against Adriano Espaillat. Espaillat was not supposed to be in this race, but his primary challenge to Charlie Rangel failed
34 – Jeff Klein, head of the IDC, is finally facing a primary
Oliver Koppell vs Jeff Klein (NY State Senate 34. Klein led the IDC)
NYSUT – Klein
AFL/CIO – Klein
de Blasio – Klein
WFP – none
John Liu vs Tony Avella (NY State Senate 11, Avella joined the IDC)
NYSUT – no endorsement
AFL/CIO – Liu
de Blasio – Avella
WFP – none
Robert Jackson vs Adriano Espaillat (NY State Senate 31, Espaillat ran because he lost to Rangel in the primary)
NYSUT – Espaillat
AFL/CIO – no endorsement
de Blasio – not sure – probably no endorsement
WFP – Espaillat
Cuomo vs Teachout
NYSUT – no endorsement
AFL/CIO – no endorsement
de Blasio – Cuomo
WFP – Cuomo
Sabbatical – Teaching Math? – Math Circles
I took a sabbatical 2013-14, to study. But I did other stuff, too. Including learning more about teaching. It wasn't required (Just the graduate math classes were required). I did it for me.
Even before Labor Day, even before the first day of staff meetings that I did not have to attend, I was using my sabbatical. It was early July when me and a friend hopped in his car, and after sampling our way through one brewery in New York (meh) and one brewery in Ohio (nice), and one brewery in Michigan (very nice), landed in South Bend, for a Math Circle Summer Institute.
Math Circles are… well it can be tricky to generalize. They are extra-curricular. They are sometimes led by non-teachers. Some are free, some cost money. Some are geared towards contest preparation. In this country, they are far more often geared towards curiosity and enrichment.
The summer institute drew teachers and non-teachers. The founders/leaders/patriarchs, Bob and Ellen Kaplan, couldn't make it. A math circle/math community in South Bend organizes the event, and brings kids to play with the participants, and to participate in little circles. I knew in advance myself, my friend, Sue, and Owen. The rest were new to me.
Each day began with a math circle type problem for the adults. The instructor modeled posing the question, but not giving too much information, and letting the teachers and kids play with the problem, ask questions, explore. We worked individually, together, and as a whole room (there must have been 25? altogether. It's a year ago, I'm a bit fuzzy).
In the afternoons we broke up by level (high school, middle school, upper elementary, lower elementary). There were kids at each level. And we ran daily "math circles" with each participant getting a turn to lead or co-lead.
How was it?
We were playing math all day. You can guess, but I'll tell you. I had a ball. One of the interesting bits was how few actual teachers there were. I mean, motivated parents who run or want to run circles and university types who want to run or facilitate circles, or people who might become teachers – they were there in larger numbers. That meant there was a sort of freshness and newness to some of the conversation. The mix meant there were people to engage in math with at all levels. But it also meant that there were people trying to rediscover or discover stuff that you figure out pretty quickly in the classroom. It was… interesting. And it was … different. And it was … engaging in a new sort of way. Plus, I made a math-y friend, which was nice for me.
Return to NY – Any impact?
The way back involved more stopping. Bell's again. One famous (bit disappointing), one fun stop in Michigan. And a tiny stop in Horseheads, NY.
And since? I've kept thinking about how the Math Circles organized time, and allowed kids to explore, and to bang their heads against hard problems, without rushing to the answer. I already do some of that, would like to incorporate more of the "feel" into some of what I do.
My friend kept thinking about how fun the circles were. He played with ways to set one up. And he ended up spending time at the NYC Math Circle, hanging around with instructors, volunteering for the summer.
How do you sign up? Should you?
So it's fun. And you'll learn stuff. And meet interesting people. And exchange ways of thinking. And get to try stuff out. But it costs money. I paid, but most people… I'd recommend it more for people who can get at least partial funding by their district.
But if you are going to go ahead, it's a week in July, e-mail Bob Kaplan at firstname.lastname@example.com and get more info directly from him.

I'm going to be redundant and say that Kennen can adc, ableit not as well as other common picks.
Human Jerky
I too would love to see an ADC ninja. And I mean an actual ADC, not trying to shove Kennen into a role that he isn't built for. One with a more traditional look too, rather than a Yordle or a Shadow Master(basically more on the Shen side).
Just got done with Mark of the Ninja, the main character in that looks badass, maybe use him as like a concept. Badass tattoo'd ninja is badass.

BearCat armored vehicles welcomed in many NH towns
Similar to the armored vehicles used by other police departments and region special operations teams across the state, the LENCO BearCat ordered by the Keene Police Department can transport up to 10 officers into high-risk situations. (Courtesy)
The LENCO BearCat whose purchase has caused a stir in Keene over the last few months joins a cadre of armored police vehicles across the state.
New Hampshire State Police, the Nashua Police Special Reaction Team, the Manchester Police SWAT Team, the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit based in Concord, the Southern New Hampshire Special Operation Unit in Derry and the Seacoast Advanced Response Team in Portsmouth all own armored vehicles.
Manchester Police Sgt. Joe Mucci, who is both a patrol officer and SWAT team leader, recalled an October 2009 incident in which the SWAT Team's BearCat was used to rescue a woman from her front porch, after she had been shot by her estranged husband.
"I can tell you as a team leader on a SWAT team, it's an essential piece of equipment that we can't go without and no SWAT team should go without," Mucci said.
He said the vehicle's primary use is "to get tactical officers to and from hostile situations, to recover and protect civilians as well as rescue injured civilians and officers."
Most of those interviewed said the armored vehicles are used about once a month. Mucci said the Manchester vehicle has been deployed more than 100 times since its purchase in 2007.
Keene City Council's acceptance of a $285,933 Homeland Security grant to purchase a LENCO BearCat Special Missions for the police department late last year riled some residents, who said it would be a waste of federal funds and/or a militarization of the small city's police department.
After several public hearings, Keene councilors voted again to accept the grant. City Manager John MacLean said the vehicle has been ordered, and will take several months to be built.
Nashua: It's invaluable
Nashua police purchased a BearCat with drug forfeiture money in 2003.
"Using the BearCat has just been an invaluable tool to safely accomplish our goals," said Nashua Police Capt. James Lima, who is in charge of Nashua's Special Reaction Team. "Even if you only use it once a year, if you are using it in a situation that prevents police officers or civilians from potentially being injured, then once is more than enough."
Like the vehicle Keene ordered, the BearCat is built to protect up to 10 officers from high-velocity rifle rounds.
"We use it whenever we need to go to any high-risk type of incident," Lima said. "That would involve armed individuals or individuals that we believe to be armed and it provides certainly a high level of protection and safety for our officers to get into a position to deal with that situation whatever that might be. It also allows us to evacuate civilians from those same situations — a barricaded gunman, a situation where we believe a hostage is being held."
Lima said a public announcement system on the vehicle also allows police to bring in a negotiator to communicate with a subject when a cell phone or land-line phone is not an option.
In January 2011, the BearCat was deployed to Pelham on a brutally cold winter day for a barricaded suicidal person.
"It allowed us the opportunity to rotate officers so we weren't stuck out in the elements for extended periods of time," Lima said.
Positive feedback
Manchester purchased its BearCat in 2007 using a Homeland Security grant, then donated its Peacekeeper, another armored vehicle, to the Central New Hampshire.Special Operations Unit.
Concord Police Sgt. Steve Smagula said before owning the Peacekeeper, officers would have to enter a hostile area using hand shields.
"It was very slow, it was very dangerous cause you can't put shields all around you and, if you had to make a rescue, it was very dangerous and it took a long time," he said.
Portsmouth Police Detective Michael Maloney said the Seacoast Emergency Response Team purchased its BearCat several years ago through a Homeland Security grant.
"In the years that we've had it and the times that we used it, it's been an absolutely invaluable piece of safety equipment both for civilians and law enforcement who use it," Maloney said.
The Southern N.H. Special Operations Unit also purchased its BearCat with a Homeland Security grant, said Unit Commander and Derry Police Capt. George Feole.
The BearCat is used "anytime an officer is deployed into a hazardous environment," he said.
The armored vehicles are also used in the communities for parades and brought out on National Night Out events as well as Touch-A-Truck events.
"We've had nothing but positive feedback from the community," Feole said.
Salem Town Manager Keith Hickey, whose town is a member of the Southern N.H. Special Operations Unit, said it makes sense for his town to be part of a regional group that owns a BearCat.
"It's great to have a regional team that reduces the cost of having a vehicle like that," Hickey said.
A fact of life
Rye Selectman Joseph Mills said the Seacoast Advanced Response Team BearCat is housed in the Rye fire station because of its size. Sometimes when residents see it and think it was a town purchase, they get upset. Once he explains it is a regional vehicle purchased through a grant, they calm down, he said.
He said he doesn't understand the big deal over the Keene BearCat purchase.
"It's a needed thing today with the society we live in. It's a fact of life you have to have that. I don't know why the people in Keene would refuse the funds. I just don't understand their logic," Mills said. "You may not use it once. It's there in case you need it."

The Walkmen Lisbon (Fat Possum)The Walkmen's sixth album finds the band sinking deeper into '50s rock'n'roll, growing wiser and more meditative with age. Lisbon is brighter and louder than its subdued predecessor You & Me, balancing rockers like "Blue As Your Blood" with the slow, whiskey-soaked ruminations of the waltzing "Torch Song" and "All My Great Designs." The gentle horns of "Stranded" find reassurance in alienation, while highlight "Angela Surf City" retells a failed romance over stampeding surf rock. Find a sunset and sit down with Lisbon again, you'll find something new to savour each time.Aaron Matthews« Page 12 | Page 14 » GET IT!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Justice Department report into the once-anonymous online postings of two former federal prosecutors makes clear they engaged in "extensive and intentional prosecutorial misconduct" connected to several criminal cases, according to a ruling filed by two federal judges.
The report also says there is no evidence that the two disgraced prosecutors' colleagues or their boss, former U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, knew of the misconduct.
U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon and U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Wilkinson revealed information from the still-secret report by the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility late Tuesday. The disclosures were contained in a ruling on by the defense attorney for Stacey Jackson. Jackson is charged with taking kickbacks when she was director of a New Orleans housing agency.
Jackson's lawyer, Edward Castaing, has asked for a copy of the report while he seeks dismissal of the indictment.
Lemmon and Wilkinson, however, ruled against providing Castaing with the report. They said that while the Justice Department report noted misconduct in several high-profile cases, it has no reference to misconduct involving Jackson's case.
Former Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jan Mann and Sal Perricone acknowledged in 2012 that they posted anonymous comments about cases at a newspaper's website.
Both resigned. Letten resigned later as the fallout from the scandal grew, although he was not implicated in online postings.
"The overall conclusion of the OPR Report is that prosecutorial misconduct of the kind committed by Perricone and Mann was confined to them and was neither sanctioned by the United States Attorney nor engaged in by others in the office," Lemmon and Wilkinson wrote.
Cases affected by the scandal include the convictions of five former police officers connected to deadly shootings of unarmed people following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Four officers allegedly involved in the shooting and one tied to a subsequent cover-up are awaiting a new trial after a federal judge last September threw out the convictions, citing the online postings.
The latest ruling also revealed that a court review of material from Nola.com/The Times-Picayune, which the news agency was ordered to turn over, failed to determine the identity of an online commenter known as "Aircheck." Castaing wants to know whether Aircheck was a government official. Lemmon and Wilkinson refused to order more material from the news operation regarding still another online poster identified as "kefir."
NOV 24 Because of a town ordinance, the police will come to a disabled girl's home this week to take away her service dog and kill him. Sound like a bad Lifetime movie? Nope - it's real life in Moreauville, blogger Lamar White Jr. tells us in this post. The dog's crime? Being born a pit bull. What's the reason for this ordinance? Well, the town fathers are a little vague on that one. Maybe Obama?
NOV 24 Columnist Stephanie Grace is writing about Bobby Jindal's continuing refusal to accept federal funding for the expansion of Medicaid. It's purely an attempt to benefit him politically, meaning the decision is "cruel, short-sighted and remarkably self-centered." Well, yeah. Have you met him?
NOV 24 The New York Times editorial board is writing about the 40 years that Albert Woodfox has spent in solitary confinement in this post, calling it "barbaric beyond measure." Since Richard Nixon was president, the man has been in solitary in Angola Plantation Penitentiary. How is that OK with us?
NOV 24 The GOP has a boogie-man for anybody thinking about voting for Mary Landrieu: President Obama. But the Dems have one for Bill Cassidy, too, Melinda Deslatte writes in this AP post on The Reading Eagle -- and his name is Governor Jindal.
NOV 24 Blogger Bob Mann is blogging about race and the Senate campaign in this post. Sure, everybody knows that Mary Landrieu doesn't do too well with white folks, but how come the GOP can't get arrested in the black community? Bob is asking.
NOV 24 Early voting for the December election began Saturday, and this post on NOLA Defender tells us what Mary and Bill were up to. The polls and the pundits have their opinions, but none of that can replace actual voting, NODEF says.
NOV 24 Blogger Tom Aswell tells us about Bruce Greenstein's grand jury testimony in this post. The former state health secretary testified in an investigation into the lucrative contract Louisiana awarded to his former employer. Apparently, Mr. Greenstein has a bit of the C.R.S. disease.
NOV 24 Last week, an SUV carrying a blended Texas family overturned on the Interstate near Shreveport, killing the parents and three of their kids, and seriously injuring two other kids. According to this story in the Dallas Morning News, the DA has exercised some compassion and dismissed the ticket given to the teen who was driving.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?

#TBT: The Gay Jersey Boy
BY Christopher Harrity
September 11 2014 3:47 PM ET
Bob Crewe is a hit maker. The songs he wrote and produced for the Four Seasons made them one of the top musical groups of all time. But his songs and his production work also helped brighten the careers of the Rays, Diane Renay, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Freddy Cannon, Lesley Gore, Oliver, Michael Jackson, Bobby Darin, Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, and Patti LaBelle.
He was definitely a Jersey Boy, born in Newark in 1931 with a natural talent for music even though he had no formal training. Instead he attended Parsons School of Design in New York. Besides being one of the biggest hit makers of the 20th century, he is also a successful visual artist and sculptor who could have made a plush living on his art alone.
Charming, too smart for his own good, and possessing more energy than any other human on the planet, he harnessed his multiple talents and shaped the music of our lives.
Jersey Boys opens this weekend, and you will see a character representing Bob in the film. You'll enjoy the Four Season hits on the soundtrack, but in the meantime, we have assembled some clips of his most popular work composing and producing for other stars on the following pages.
