Welcome to the Music Department at Hunter College
The Department of Music at Hunter College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY), offers a variety of courses and degree programs catering to the needs of a diverse student body. Courses include a large selection of topics in music performance, theory, history, ethnomusicology, and music education. Private lessons are available on all instruments and voice, either with Hunter faculty members or with expert teachers outside the College. Most degrees can be completed in the evening, as well as during the day.
There are approximately 150 undergraduate music majors and 80 M.A. students in the department. Classes for majors rarely include more than twenty students, and much individual attention is given to each student in the classroom. In addition to academic courses and private lessons, the Music Department sponsors activities such as concerts, lectures, master classes, and social events.

Update - Friday - 4/5/2013, 5:15 a.m. ET
WASHINGTON - The U.S. attorney's office in D.C. has stopped an investigation into an Uber car service driver accused of raping a customer and is not prosecuting the case against him.
The Washington Post reports statements by the alleged victim and suspect contradicted each other about sexual contact being consensual, and physical evidence did not support what each said happened in the incident.
A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office declined comment to the Post beyond saying the office "concluded the investigation without filing charges."
Read more on the story from The Washington Post.
Earlier - Thursday - 3/14/2013, 5:05pm ET
WASHINGTON - The U.S. attorney's office says it has reviewed the case and is not moving forward with charges at this time against a 35-year-old Uber driver accused of raping a 20-year-old customer.
The investigation is ongoing.
Earlier - Thursday - 3/14/2013, 3:27pm ET
WASHINGTON - A 35-year-old Uber driver has been arrested for allegedly raping a 20-year-old customer last year.
The driver was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree sexual assault for the Dec. 8 attack.
Authorities say the victim was raped in the driveway of her Cleveland Park home after celebrating a friend's birthday on U Street, according to court documents.
She told police the driver repeatedly tried to make small talk during the ride home. At one point, Trabelsi asked the victim if she had ever dated a Moroccan man. She did not respond, according to court documents.
The victim says she had already paid the $36 fare and was walking to her door when the driver came up behind her and grabbed her arms. She said she fell to the ground, hit her head and was sexually assaulted.
The woman was taken to a local hospital later that night.
The driver's wife tells The Washington Post that her husband is innocent and that the alleged victim made advances on her husband. She would not say whether there was any sexual contact between the two.
Uber D.C. says the driver has not completed any rides through Uber since the incident.
"We have worked closely with the police and prosecutors investigating this incident, and will continue to help them in any way possible," Uber says in a statement. "The safety of our users is absolutely paramount, and we will continue to be vigilant that riders' safety and security are protected."
Last month, an Arlington resident filed suit against Uber after allegedly being verbally abused, physically assaulted and kicked out of a car he hired to pick him and a friend up from 9th and U streets in Northwest D.C.
Seth Bender says the trouble started when he burped and excused himself, prompting the driver to become angry and say that he "hates Americans and homosexuals."
The driver then slapped Bender in the face and spit on him, the man says.
Bender is suing for $750,000 in damages.
The private taxi service does not hire its own drivers, but partners with drivers who use the company's technology to transport passengers.
All drivers are insured and licensed, an Uber spokesman says. It is not clear if Uber conducts criminal background checks on its drivers.

Comments, questions and tips
This was delicious! I used rice noodles (trying to avoid wheat) and added some mussels and a little cooked chicken that I had left over from lunch. I used 300mls of fish stock and 300mls of coconut milk to make it less "coconut". It didn't have much liquid in the finished "soup" but that could have been down to the noodles. Next time I will stick to medium noodles as my hubby wasn't keen on "skinny ones". Very pleased with this recipe though - so quick and easy - and very filling.
Yummy. Try frying a little garlic and fresh chilli in oil for no more than 30 seconds (without browning the garlic) before adding the veges. Then, as others have suggested, a little fish sauce and fresh lime juice after it's taken off the heat before serving. Also, a small handful of fresh bean sprouts, sliced spring onion and/or fresh chopped chilli as a garnish works well too.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
At the start of 2012, rumors started spreading that Google was readying a home theater device to rival the likes of the Apple TV and the Sonos system. But when that mythical creature turned out to be the Nexus Q , it was hard to swallow our collective disappointment.
While the Nexus Q will remain a curio until Google can boost its feature set , the competitive Sonos Connect:Amp feels like a real hi-fi system. From its solid build to the simplicity of the user interface it's something that the Nexus isn't: refined. It's compatible with nearly every online music service on the market, and can also stream your personal digital-music collection.
But if you thought the $300 Nexus was expensive -- and
for what it does, it is -- then you might want to hold on to something: the Connect:Amp is
two-thirds more expensive. (Thankfully, Sonos also offers three other models -- the
Measuring 3.5 inches high, 7.28 inches wide, and 8.15 inches deep, the Sonos Connect:Amp is larger than your average "small black box" media streamer such as the Roku or Apple TV.
The Sonos features a two-tone color scheme with an "anodized precision-machined extrusion aluminum case" nestled on a white plastic base. The 5.1-pound box has some heft to it, and -- unlike a lot of the flimsy plastic boxes you buy today -- the Connect:Amp feels really solid and well designed.
The front panel is about as minimalist as it gets: Volume Up/Down and Mute; everything else (including redundant volume controls) is controlled through an amp on your tablet or smartphone. There's no power button, since the Sonos is designed to remain in standby mode at all times.
The Connect:Amp was formerly known as the ZonePlayer ZP120, and was renamed when the Play:3 came along. While the ZP120 was initially offered as part of the BU250 Bundle, that package is no longer available, not least because the CR200 touch-screen controller has been put to pasture. The company instead offers free control apps for PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. In other words, nearly any smartphone or tablet -- including iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches, Kindle Fires, and all newer Android phones -- can double as the remote.
The Connect:Amp is a rare product in that it is part music streamer and part amplifier. When I say rare, I mean there are a couple of products like it, but most are hideously expensive music servers, or...ahem...the aforementioned Google Nexus Q. Whereas the Nexus Q has a 25W amplifier, the Connect:Amp features a much beefier 55W -per-channel output.
Obviously, the built-in amp means that it's up to you to supply your own (unpowered) speakers. You could go for something like Dayton Audio B652s , or step up from there.
If you have an existing stereo or home theater system and you're looking to add streaming to it, might I suggest the ampless Sonos Connect ($349). Alternatively, you can go the all-in-one route with the Play:5 and Play:3, both of which have built-in speakers.
One feature offered by the Connects and that the all-in-one Play:3 and Play:5 systems lack is audio inputs. The Connect:Amp has a single stereo RCA input that can be used to connect an external audio device -- perhaps a turntable or an iPod dock.
For speaker connections, the Sonos includes solid, spring-loaded speaker jacks at the back for connecting banana plugs or bare wires -- though not spades.
Last in the list of connections is the subwoofer-out, which can be used to connect to a third-party subwoofer. Or you can opt to go with the wireless Sonos Sub instead.

I bought it to garden in - BUT, I have worn it to town in rural Vermont daily. It is VERY COMFORTABLE and sharp looking. It is also VERY IDEAL for all the movement you need in the garden.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
It is unbelievably comfortable to work in.....
The only disadvantage is - it's too nice to get really dirty - just kidding!!!!!!!
Best Uses
I work with a landscaping company and my sole complaint seems to always be about the fact that I have to wear a bulky, stiff coat when the weather is chilly. I bought this gardeners coat and have had a chance to wear it as the weather has changed. I would recommend it for either the spring or fall weather that a cold climate state can throw at you. It has a nice outer shell that's durable against dirt and sharp garden tools and also breaks the wind, the inside is lined with fleece that keeps you warm and is not bulky even when wearing a sweatshirt underneath. The style is flattering, as it fits more slimly for the feminine figure. Thinner arms, zip up front and plentiful pockets are a wonderful plus.

Windows 7 FAQ
From ITwiki
What is Windows 7
"Windows 7" was released officially on October 22nd, 2009. It is the latest desktop Operating System released by Microsoft as of the Fall of 2009.
For information about Windows 7 please see Microsoft's website. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/
How can I get Windows 7
Read First: Before upgrading to Windows 7 - This article contains information about backing up your data for the fresh install of Windows 7.
Stevens Provided Notebook Image
The Stevens Helpdesk currently has an image (snapshot) using the Windows 7 Operating System for Stevens distributed laptops.
Stevens Institute of Technology is a member of the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance (MSDN AA). Undergraduate students, faculty, and staff have the ability to request an MSDN AA account through the Stevens Helpdesk Ticking System. Windows 7 Professional (32bit and 64bit) is available via an MSDN AA account.
The MSDN website will provide a download for the DVD image of the Windows 7 installer and an installation key. This means, if you plan to obtain Windows 7 from the MSDN website you will need a blank DVD-R to burn the downloaded Windows 7 DVD image.
You will then need the burned disk in the DVD drive. The Windows 7 installer application should launch and guide you though the installation.
WARNING: Installing Windows 7 from the MSDN AA will require you to re-install all of your programs. Keep in mind that many applications are still not officially supported by Windows 7. It is recommended to check any application manufacture websites to verify compatibility.
Common Problems with Windows 7 on Campus
Connecting to Wired Network
Connecting to the wired network in public locations typically requires 802.1x authentication. Unfortunately, the service which provides 802.1x functionality for wired connections is turned off by default. To enable the service, open the start menu and type "Services" in the search box and open the first Program named 'Services'. (Alternatively the Services program can be opened from the Control Panel by finding the icon within Administrative Services.)
The Services window should list all started/stopped services on the machine. Navigate to the bottom of the list and find "Wired Autoconfig". Double click to open the properties for the service. Change the startup type to 'Automatic' and hit the start button.
If you have a wire plugged into the Campus network (on an active port) and you start the service, a dialog button in the bottom-right side of the screen should appear. Clicking within this window should open a dialog-prompt asking for your Stevens account credentials.
Hitting Terminate instead of Connect
When connecting to a Campus network, the computer will be asked to trust a certificate from Campus. The Windows 7 implementation requires the user to click Connect when prompted.
NOTE: If the user clicks Terminate, the following steps must be taken to retry the connection.
- Click the Start icon and press Control Panel
- Under Network and Internet, click View Network Status and Tasks
- On the left, click on Manage Wireless Networks
- Right click the network you were trying to connect to (Stevens Student for students or Stevens for staff/faculty) and select Remove Network
- At this point, please follow the directions for connecting to the Stevens Wireless Network available here.
No Prompt for Certificate Connect/Terminate
If you are continually asked for credentials you may need to reinstall the Verisign certificate.
- Download the Verisign Certificate: Link
- Double-click the file, then press Install Certificate...
- Hit Next, Next, and Finish.
- Press OK when notified of successful installation.
- Connect to the respective wireless network again.
- Be sure to hit Connect when prompted (after entering your Campus Domain credentials).

In the case of each product, Mickelson sought out a method to eliminate the package altogether, producing a no-waste packaging solution that is still aesthetically pleasing. In the case of Glad trash bags, the bags are packaged in a roll, with the label printed on the outside bag. The user pulls each bag out from the center, until the only one remaining is the outside printed bag. In the case of Nivea soap, the package is made from water-soluble, septic-safe paper that just dissolves and washes away when you take it into the shower.
In an email, Mickelson tells me that so far none of the brands included in his project have reached out to him, but he says, "I definitely think companies would see the value in reducing their packaging impact if their consumers let them know it's something they wanted." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that containers and packaging account for 30.3 percent of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the U.S. – that's a total of 38.94 million tons yearly, and the largest single category in the total waste stream. It's no wonder that "sustainable packaging" has emerged as an important area for green innovation in industry. Mickelson has been freelancing as a designer since graduating from Pratt in December and hopes to join a group practice in the near future. He tells me he plans to continue focusing on packaging and says, "I hope to bring the kind of thinking I developed in my thesis forward with me wherever I go."

Whoa angry child you're telling me New Zealanders are Kiwi when you know I was talking about the bird. In other words you're telling me I'm wrong then immediately afterwards telling me I'm right and admitting that a nickname for New Zealanders is Kiwi so what was your point in all of this? It was a joke calm down.

|Picard tries to escape the Enterprise after disabling Tuvo- er, a terrorist. He fails because the power goes out. Why not use a shuttle? The transporter on a shuttle? The Captain's yacht? An escape pod?
When the terrorists take over on the station base, one of them stuns Geordi and then points his weapon at Data, who freezes in place. But in "Power Play" when somebody fires a phaser stun at him and he is completely unaffected by it. So if Data is immune to stun settings, why doesn't he just charge the bad guy and knock him out?

WASHINGTON—The National Security Agency sweeps up data on millions of cellphones and Internet communications under secret court orders. But as it mounts a rigorous defense of its surveillance, the agency has disclosed new details that portray its efforts as tightly controlled and limited in scope, while successful in thwarting potential plots.
On Sunday, officials said that though the NSA is authorized to collect "geolocational" information that can pinpoint the location of callers, it chooses not to.

As part of this program, however, the NSA chooses not to collect such data as the nearest cellphone tower used to place or receive a mobile call, U.S. officials said. In a statement released this weekend, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the NSA program doesn't collect "any cell phone locational information."
Such information has been found to be of value to criminal investigators, who can use it to link suspects with crime scenes. However, the U.S. official said the data doesn't provide sufficient intelligence value to justify the resources that would be required to use it.
In the weekend statement, which was provided to Congress and released by the Senate Intelligence Committee, officials described other aspects of the surveillance programs in narrow terms.
In 2012, for example, fewer than 300 phone records of Americans were reviewed, and that review was confined to information that was "associated with specific foreign terrorist organizations," the statement said.
Queries to the database are documented and audited, said the statement. It added that only a "small number" of trained officials can access the information. The statement said the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court reviews the program every 90 days, and all data is destroyed after five years.
Nonetheless, revelations resulting from leaks by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who took refuge in Hong Kong, pointed to the existence of a much broader surveillance apparatus than had been understood, prompting civil-liberties advocates to express concern over constitutional rights and privacy.
"We need to determine as a country where to draw the line between our national security and privacy concerns," Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.) said by email. "We also need to have an honest discussion about whether this program is actually doing what it is supposed to do—protect us from terrorists.
Advocates of the surveillance programs at issue—one that collects phone data from millions of Americans and another that collects communications by foreign targets from Internet companies—said they are much narrower than intelligence officials might prefer.
Retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, a former head of the NSA and director of the Central Intelligence Agency under President George W. Bush, said that in a democracy, intelligence services have to be "a little less effective" in order to be "a little bit more transparent" to the American people.
Some of the leaks confirm surveillance that many Americans assume is continuing. Sunday, the Guardian newspaper, citing a leaked NSA report from Mr. Snowden, said the agency intercepted communications from Russian officials in London in 2009 when then-President Dmitry Medvedev was at a Group of 20 summit. The report said the NSA believed the intercept showed "a change in the way Russian leadership signals have been normally transmitted."
Also Sunday, current and former U.S. officials continued to voice concern over the possibility of Chinese meddling in the leaks case.
Jeremy Bash, former chief of staff at the CIA and Pentagon under President Barack Obama, said the intelligence community was worried that the Chinese could exploit unreleased information Mr. Snowden has. Mr. Bash said on ABC News that every day Mr. Snowden remains in Hong Kong "erodes his claim that he's a whistleblower."

The 21st century is America's for the taking--if we are bold enough and strong enough and confident enough to go forward together. We will make the best of this new technology together. We will educate our children with it, improve our businesses with it, make our government more democratic with it, and build a brighter, freer, more prosperous future with it. That is the American way.
The nation is working toward making all students technologically literate by early next century. There has been considerable initiative and funding devoted to this end in some states and communities. At the same time, it is evident that the nation has a long way to go before reaching our goals for technology in schools. Although the federal government has an important leadership role, states and local communities have the most at stake and will have the largest role. The purpose of this report is not to prescribe a single plan of action; instead, it offers a strategic framework to support efforts by states and local communities to develop their own plans for promoting the achievement of high standards by all students through the application of technology.
Role of the Federal GovernmentThe federal role, though limited, is to provide the leadership momentum for reaching the educational technology goals through targeted funding and support for activities that will catalyze national action. Indeed, federal support has been critical over the years as a catalyst for technology development and for providing incentives for schools to implement educational technology programs. (See Appendix B for examples of federal support for technology in education.)
Technology Literacy Challenge FundStates, communities, and the private sector face a challenge of massive proportions, in terms of effective innovation and school improvement, as well as in terms of substantial investments and reprioritizing of school budgets. The purpose of the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund is to serve as a catalyst for states, local communities, companies, universities, and individuals to work together on a common set of goals. The president has asked Congress to appropriate $2 billion over five years for the fund. For the fund to succeed, each federal dollar will have to be matched by dollars and in-kind contributions from state, local, and private-sector sources. The president has included the first installment of this fund--$250 million--in his 1997 budget.
The fund would provide states with maximum flexibility. To receive funds, states would have to meet only these basic objectives:
- Each state would develop a strategy for enabling every school in the state to meet the four technology goals. These state strategies would address the needs of all schools, from the suburbs to the inner cities to rural areas. Strategies would include benchmarks and timetables for accomplishing the four goals, but these measures would be set by each state, not by the federal government.
- State strategies would include significant private-sector participation and commitments, matching at least the amount of federal support. Commitments could be met by volunteer services, cost reductions, and discounts for connections under the expanded Universal Service Fund provisions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, among other ways.
- To ensure accountability, each state not only would have to set benchmarks, but also would be required to report publicly at the end of every school year the progress made in achieving its benchmarks, as well as how it would achieve the ultimate objectives of its strategies in the most cost-effective manner.
The Technology Literacy Challenge FundCatalyzing State, Community, and Private Sector Efforts
The technology literacy challenge fund would support a wide variety of innovative efforts.
Affordable ConnectionsThe president and vice president have made connecting every classroom in America to the information superhighway by the year 2000 a national goal. To deliver on that goal, on February 8, 1996, the president signed into law the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which ensures that schools and libraries have affordable access to advanced telecommunications service. The law requires telecommunications carriers to provide service to schools and libraries at reduced rates.
The federal government will play an important role in effectively implementing the law so that access is real and affordable and classrooms are connected in all of our communities, including rural and urban areas. Making the new law work for the nation's schools and libraries will involve many players: the Federal Communications Commission, state public utilities commissions, service providers, rate payers, and the education community. The secretary of education, the chairman of the Federal Communications commission, and other federal officials will provide leadership, convene educators and regulators to identify solutions, and build a broad base of support for affordable access.
Improved Professional DevelopmentThe federal government has an important role in expanding and improving professional development for teachers, in order to reach the goal that all teachers have the training they need to use technology. First, it provides funds for professional development through the Eisenhower Professional Development Program, the Teacher Enhancement Program, and other programs. The Departments of Education and Energy, NASA, the National Science Foundation, and other agencies all support teacher professional development. These investments must be expanded and greater emphasis on the use of technology added. Second, the Department of Education can provide leadership by highlighting the importance of sustained professional development and by disseminating information about what works in teacher training. The Department will convene states, school districts, colleges of teacher education, professional organizations, teacher unions, and others with a stake in improving pre-service and in-service training in order to galvanize commitments to provide effective training and support to all the nation's teachers. The Department of Education can also collaborate with national teacher accreditation bodies to support the development of model standards that integrate technology into requirements for graduation and state certification.
One of the key lessons from our experience so far is that a collaborative model is essential for sustained school improvement and student achievement. Business, government, and, of course, education all have something unique and valuable to offer.
-- Representative from a Telecommunications Firm
Improved Educational SoftwareThe development of high-quality educational software depends on greater collaboration between educators and the private sector. The Department of Education, in coordination with other federal agencies, can support this collaboration in a number of ways. For example, it can sponsor workshops that bring together state and local educators, researchers, publishers, software developers, on line services, cable and wireless operators, and other commercial providers of educational technology materials. Workshops would focus on issues such as how the market can meet the needs of today's classrooms better; how software can support higher student achievement; what students should know and be able to do (state standards); how states and school districts can develop better tools for evaluating the quality of the software on the market; and what are the lessons of current practice and research for future software development. The Department, through its educational technology programs for individuals with disabilities, has been instrumental in making more software accessible to students with disabilities.
Presidential Challenges to Spur Collaborative Efforts
Continued Investment in Educational TechnologyIn addition to the Technology Literacy Challenge Fund, it is critical that the federal government continue to target investments to address particular needs in educational technology. For example, to demonstrate new models of how information infrastructure can benefit the nation's schools, the Department of Commerce's Technology and Information Infrastructure Applications Program (TIIAP) provides grants to develop telecommunications networks for educational and other services. The Department of Education's Challenge Grants for Technology in Education award grants to school districts in partnership with businesses, museums, universities, and other institutions to develop a new generation of learning tools and curricula. To address the special needs of remote schools, the Department of Agriculture supports telecommunications links to provide students with access to advanced courses and other distance learning opportunities, and the Department of Education's Star Schools program provides seed funding for distance learning providers.
To focus on the particular challenges of teaching math and science, the National Science Foundation funds programs that demonstrate how electronic networks can support education reforms and improve math and science teaching. Likewise, NASA develops model curricula using state-of-the-art technologies; and an innovative program called Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) links students, educators, and scientists around the world in a long-term effort to make observations of the environment and share the data via the Internet. The 140 schools run by the Department of Defense on military bases around the world are becoming a powerful model and effective testing site for the use of advanced technologies for learning.
Effective Use of Technology by Major Education ProgramsAmong the federal government's largest education and training programs are the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, Head Start, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, the Job Training Partnership Act, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Programs under these acts allow funds to be used for educational technology, including training teachers to incorporate technology into their classrooms, and purchasing software and hardware. For example, according to one estimate, in 1995 schools invested about $450 million under Title I (formerly Chapter 1) of ESEA in educational technology in order to help students in low-income schools improve basic and advanced skills in the core academic subjects.77
The federal government will continue to promote the use of educational technology as an important element of improving the achievement of students served by these programs and, through high-quality technical assistance, it will help to ensure that technology is used as effectively as possible to improve teaching and learning. It will also continue to increase flexibility in the use of funds under these programs, as it did in the recent reauthorization of Title I, which has made it easier to make technology purchased with Title I funds available to all students in a school.
Clearinghouse for Good IdeasHelping states, school districts, schools, teachers, parents, professional organizations, and the private sector know and share what works is a vital function of the federal government. The federal government will continue to disseminate accurate and up to-date information about what works in educational technology through the Department of Education's technical assistance provider network, which includes an on-line library; the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) Clearinghouses; the Regional Technology in Education Consortia (R*TECS); the Technology Related Assistance Program for Individuals with Disabilities; The Eisenhower National Clearinghouse on Math and Science Education; and the Department of Energy's national laboratories and specialized technology centers and research facilities that assist states and school districts. In addition, the Department of Education will increase its efforts to promote information sharing. For example, it will sponsor national and regional conferences that give state and local education leaders an opportunity to learn from the experience of communities that are further ahead. The conferences will also promote collaboration between various state and federal initiatives to maximize the impact of state and federal investments in educational technology.
State-of-the-Art ToolsThe federal government has a strong history of research and development in both learning and technology. That work has shown that all students can learn to much higher levels than we had previously expected, and led to the development of breakthrough technologies such as the Internet, high-performance computing tools, and technological tools for students with disabilities. This year, the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology will issue recommendations on how federal research and development can help to ensure the development of new ways of using technology for learning, new learning materials, and new ways of measuring student progress. Based on these recommendations, federal agencies will provide funding for the highest priority areas for research and development and disseminate results.
Closing the Divide Between Technology "Haves" and "Have Nots"The federal government can help to close the "digital divide" between affluent communities with access to technology and low-income communities where schools lack computers, access to the Internet, software, trained teachers and basic wiring. The Technology Literacy Challenge Fund, if approved by Congress, would provide resources for those communities facing the greatest challenges. In addition, many major federal education programs--including Title I of ESEA, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, the Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act, and Head Start--target funding to low-income communities, and can invest in educational technology.
Under the leadership of the vice president, the private sector has stepped forward to help schools in the nation's 15 Empowerment Zones, which are among our most impoverished urban and rural communities. The private sector, working with Tech Corps and the Department's Regional Technology in Education Consortia, will connect every school in the Empowerment Zones to the information superhighway.
Monitoring Progress Toward Technology GoalsAn essential role of the federal government in helping the nation meet the technology literacy challenge will be to monitor national progress and provide regular updates on how far the nation has traveled toward meeting the challenge. This report provides baseline data on where we are today regarding each of the four goals: the extent to which teachers are adequately trained to use technology in the classroom; the availability of modern, multimedia computers in the classroom; the percent of schools and classrooms connected to the information superhighway; and the use of effective software and on-line resources in school curriculum.
To evaluate how the nation is progressing, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) intends to collect data related to technology in schools through such vehicles as its Schools and Staffing Survey and Fast Response Survey System. As NCES plans for the next administration of the Schools and Staffing Survey in 1998, it is consulting with the field to determine how best to collect information about access to and use of technology in schools. Moreover, the Fast Response Survey System has been used twice in the past two years to collect information related to the availability and use of telecommunications in schools, their plans to implement or upgrade wide area connections, their access to the Internet and selected Internet capabilities, and barriers they face to the acquisition or use of advanced telecommunications. The survey system could be used to collect this information in future years. Further, under the proposed Technology Literacy Challenge Fund, each state would be required to develop its own state-specific goals and benchmarks and report annually on progress toward them.

A 17-minute hat-trick from Andre Schurrle moved Chelsea four points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a 3-1 win over Fulham.
The forward notched his second hat-trick of the season, having achieved the feat for Germany against Sweden in October, and doubled his Chelsea tally to six Barclays Premier League league goals in 2013-14.
The hosts had the better chances in the opening period, but failed to take them and were made to pay as the visitors moved up through the gears after the break. Schurrle, ably assisted by Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres, finished all three efforts clinically as Jose Mourinho's side extended their unbeaten run to 13 league matches, despite John Heitinga's late consolation.
Victory, combined with Arsenal's defeat against Stoke City, opens up a gap at the top of the Barclays Premier League table, while Fulham remain rooted to the bottom after an eighth league match without a win.
After their midweek UEFA Champions League trip to Turkey, the Barclays Premier League leaders took their time to settle into the game and almost went behind in the third minute but Clint Dempsey missed a good chance. Pajtim Kasami forced his way past Branislav Ivanovic on the left and drilled a cross into the penalty area for the United States midfielder, playing the last game of his loan spell, but he could not direct his header on target from six yards.
Chances were at a premium for both sides in the first half, with only Kasami forcing a save from either goalkeeper with a low free-kick in the final five minutes that Petr Cech held easily.
Mourinho's side quickly put their poor first-half display behind them as Schurrle opened the scoring seven minutes after the break. Hazard played a weighted pass over the top of the Cottagers' defence for the German to run onto, he cut across Dan Burn and slotted past Maarten Stekelenburg from the edge of the penalty area.
Torres could have doubled the London side's lead just before the hour after more excellent work from Hazard, but his header at the back post deflected wide off Kieran Richardson. With 65 minutes played, Schurrle added his second goal, with Hazard again involved. The Belgian escaped the attentions of Heitinga before rolling a perfect pass into Schurrle and he fired low beyond Stekelenburg. Schurrle's hat-trick was complete three minutes later as the forward made no mistake with a calm finish after being played in by Torres.
Felix Magath's side netted a consolation with 16 minutes to play as Darren Bent knocked down a Lewis Holtby corner and Heitinga poked the ball beyond Cech from close range.
Fulham manager Felix Magath: "Chelsea were too good for us. They played very well, wanted to win and were the better team. There were some good situations for us in the first half but we are responsible for not playing so well.
"We will not stay up with this kind of defending and need to learn better. The biggest problem was that our captain [Brede Hangeland] was gone after a few minutes. If he could have played the whole game, we could have had a different result.
"You cannot ask for a win against the Premier League leaders, so the next games are the ones we will be looking to win.
"We hope that Hangeland will come back, which will stabilise us.
"Konstantinos Mitroglou should join us for the next game. If he gets used to the Premier League level, he can help us."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "At half-time, I told them nothing - nothing - not a word. I walked in, then I walked out. I don't know if anyone else gave a team talk. I was not inside the dressing room. The second half was a great reaction to the worst performance of the season.
"The second half was one of the best performances of the season. We moved the ball around well. If I could've made 11 changes, I might have done, but I could only make three - so I did nothing. Schurrle is cold in front of the goal.
"We have have four points more than Arsenal. The gap to Man City is a fake advantage. If they win their games in hand, they're top of the league. We're behind them."

text: 5 Incredible value!!Scotty24 | 28/07/2012 | See all Scotty24's reviews (27)If you've ever played an MGS before you'll know what to expect. If not MGS is one of the finest stealth/action series of all time and has some of the greatest boss fights of all time - and some of the longest cutscenes too!.MGS2 being the oldest of the 2 is a bit old but still a classic and still looks good upgraded to HD. After all these years I forgot how long the cutscenes are but the game tells the great story brilliantly!.MGS3 is even better. Even by today's standards it looks good! Especially here in its HD glory. It has more bare able cutscenes but also some of my fondest boss battles of all time.It is also a long game. In fact considering you're paying under 20 GBP you're getting great value as there is easily 30 hours of play time here in the main story lines alone. Outside of the main game both games include a wealth of content. Likely to keep you going for months.If I was to complain about one thing - other than the annoying exclusion of Peace Walker from the console copy - its that it's not the most portable friendly game and I often find myself having to pause on cutscenes (or I'd miss my stop!!).But that's a small complaint for 2 fantastic games!!!.

Hi guys
I'm male 39 years of age, hailing from Yorkshire in the UK, and have been interested in Buddhism for approximately the last 10 years.
I've read several books on the subject and have learned from Buddhist forums and chat rooms as well as other online material. I've been meditating for around 5 years and have slowly built up the amount of time I spend on it, although I admit I lack discipline in this area as I sometimes miss days.
I live in a small town where there are no Buddhist centres or temples, and so unfortunately I have no teacher. I intend going on retreats in the very near future, where i can learn more about the practice of the Dhamma (in particular the most skilful way to practice Vipassana) and of course I hope I can learn a lot from this forum.
I look forward to meeting and conversing with you

More women opt for double breast removal
Updated On: Oct 20 2009 07:41:10 AM CDT
More women with an early diagnosis of breast cancer are choosing to have both breasts removed, a cancer surgeon has found.
Dr. Todd Tuttle of the University of Minnesota found that the rate of double mastectomy in women with a form of cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ went up 188 percent from 1998 to 2005.
In 2005, 13.5 percent of women in a study of 51,000 with DCIS had both breasts removed. Tuttle expressed doubts about that course of treatment.
"The 10-year survival rate for women with DCIS is 98 to 99 percent," Tuttle said. "Therefore, removal of the normal contralateral breast will not improve the excellent survival rates for this group of women. Nevertheless, many women, particularly young women, are choosing to have both breasts removed."
In a previous research study, Tuttle and his colleagues found more American women choosing to have both breasts removed when cancer has been found in only one breast.
A news release on the work described DCIS as the earliest stage of breast cancer, when the cancer is small and confined. It is considered highly treatable. However, if the cancer is aggressive in nature or not treated, it can become more serious or develop in the healthy breast.
Tuttle and his colleagues used the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to evaluate information about 51,030 women diagnosed with DCIS in one breast between 1988 and 2005. They found that 2,072 (13.5 percent) of the women chose breast removal surgery for their DCIS treatment. Furthermore, between 1998 and 2005 the rate of women opting for the surgery increased by 188 percent.
Breast cancer affects more than 214,000 women in the U.S. each year.
The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
