Brett Richards, the former general manager of the Ross Valley Sanitary District, has been arrested in the Philippines and is awaiting proceedings to return him to Marin County for prosecution.
The Marin County district attorney has charged Richards with nine felony counts including misappropriation of public funds, embezzlement and multiple counts of money laundering. He is accused of taking a $350,000 housing loan that he never used for housing. His bail was set at $1 million.
Richards could face a maximum 10 years in prison and fines totaling $1.5 million if found guilty.
Marin County District Attorney Ed Berberian said Richards was arrested on July 11, without incident, at Moalboal, Cebu, Philippines by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration and the Philippine National Police. Berberian said his office tracked Richards to the Philippines using financial records that it obtained through court order.
"We believed he was going to be in a general area in the Philippines, and it turned out that was where he was," Berberian said.
To bring Richards back to the United States, Berberian obtained the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which issued an "unlawful flight to avoid prosecution" warrant under the provisions of the Federal Fugitive Felon Act. Berberian said following the issuance of that warrant the State Department revoked Richards' passport.
On July 12, Richards was transported from Cebu City to Manila, where he was placed in the main Philippine Bureau of Immigration detention processing center. Richards will remain there until proceedings to return him to the United States begin on Thursday.
The Philippines signed an extradition treaty with the United States in 1994. But Berberian said Richards may simply be returned to the U.S. on the basis that he is in the Philippines without a valid passport.
"My understanding is that he is in the country illegally because he doesn't have a valid passport," Berberian said.
The exact date for Richards' return to the United States is not known. It's anticipated he will return in the next three to six weeks. Berberian said Richards will eventually be sent back to Marin County, where he will face trial.
"This is the most surprising news that I could ever have received," said Ross Valley Sanitary District board member Mary Sylla. "This shows that the international justice system works better than I thought it would."
District board member Pamela Meigs said, "I'm really relieved, and I'm really proud of the investigation that led to this. Many months had gone by, and I wasn't hearing anything. You have to have faith, and I did."
Richards resigned from his $197,000-a-year job and dropped from sight in July 2012 after Marin Independent Journal columnist Dick Spotswood raised questions regarding whether Richards used a $350,000 loan to purchase housing.
Frank Egger, president of the district board, said, "You can run but sooner or later the feds are going to catch up with you. The justice system did its job."
Egger added, "It will be interesting to see what happens when he goes on the stand. I'm sure there are going to be people subpoenaed to testify. We may find out some interesting information."
District board member Peter Sullivan said, "He did a bad thing. He took $350,000 and did it deceitfully. He misled a lot of people." But Sullivan said he expects some of the felony counts to be dropped at trial.
"I think the district attorney charged him with a felony for each time he cashed a check," Sullivan said. "I'm sorry for him (Richards)."
Former district board member Marcia Johnson declined to comment.
Several board members said they had heard speculation that Richards might be hiding in the Philippines.
Wendy Martin-Miller, the district's current business manager who also worked under Richards, said she recalls Richards talking about the Philippines in connection with his brother.
"His brother may have worked there for a time and talked about how beautiful it was," Martin-Miller said. "It was a place of interest to Brett because of what his brother said about it."
Martin-Miller said she was pleased to hear that her old boss is being brought back for trial.
"He deserves to be brought here to answer for what he is alleged to have done," she said.
Former district board member Steve Vanni said he told the district attorney over a year ago that Richards was probably in the Philippines. "Because his brother is married to a Filipino and lives in the Philippines, as far as I know," Vanni said.
The Ross Valley Sanitary District sued Richards for fraud and breach of contract in hopes of recovering its money. But according to the affidavit that Berberian filed to secure Richards' arrest warrant, most of the loan money has already been spent on living expenses, a new truck and trips to Paris, Venice and Barcelona.
As recently as last fall, Richards was blogging about his past experience in Marin from an undisclosed location in Florida. On his website, www.rossvalleysewertruth.com, Richards wrote, "Am I crazy? I hope you'll read on and decide for yourself. In fact, this blog is an invitation for you to be the jury."

Republicans have already violated some of the vows they made in taking stewardship of the House.
Their pledge to cut $100 billion from the budget in one year won't be kept.
And for a coming vote seeking to repeal the health care overhaul, the first major initiative of the new Congress, lawmakers won't be allowed to propose changes to the legislation despite Republican promises to end such heavy-handed tactics from the days of Democratic control.
A look at some of the Republican promises in the campaign that delivered them control of the House, and their prospects now:

Succession to the Saudi Arabian throne
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Saudi Arabia
|Basic Law
|Foreign relations
The order of succession to the throne of Saudi Arabia is determined by, and within, the House of Saud. It follows agnatic seniority, but a prince may be surpassed or another elevated. The Allegiance Council was created in 2006 to facilitate the royal transfer of power.
King Abdullah is the current ruler of Saudi Arabia. The heir designate from 2005 was Sultan bin Abdulaziz until his death in 2011 ; the second in line was Nayef bin Abdulaziz from 2011 to his death in 2012.[1] On 18 June 2012, Salman bin Abdulaziz was appointed the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.[2] Prince Salman was also made deputy prime minister.[3] On 27 March 2014, Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz was appointed deputy crown prince.[4]
Saudi Arabia became a kingdom in 1932. The Al Saud controlled vast parts of the region for two and a half centuries. The Saudi royalty collapsed twice in the 1800s due to discord over succession. In 1890s, the Al Sauds were completely supplanted by the ruling dynasty Al Rasheed — the Al Rashid. The kingdom began to fight to restore itself through King Abdulaziz and his capture of Riyadh in 1902.[5]
Ibn Saud conquered Arabia and formed alliances by marriage to members of its biggest tribes. This strengthened his power within the Al Sauds and expanded his legitimacy in Arabia. He presided over the discovery of oil in the region. He died in 1953.
Ibn Saud's eldest surviving son Prince Saud became king in 1953. This reign lasted until 1964. Then, Saud's younger brother Prince Faisal became king upon the overthrow of King Saud. Faisal's reign was ended by his assassination in 1975. Faisal's younger brother Prince Mohammad was briefly crown prince but abdicated in favor Prince Khalid, who ascended to the throne and ruled until his death in 1982. Khalid's younger brother King Fahd, the head of the Sudairi faction, ruled from 1982 until his stroke in 1995. Fahd's younger brother Crown Prince Abdullah then took control of the kingdom's affairs and was crowned king in 2005, after the death of King Fahd. King Abdullah is the present ruler of Saudi Arabia. His younger brother Salman bin Abdulaziz became Crown Prince on 18 June 2012 after the deaths of two predecessors. In March 2014 Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz was named deputy Crown Prince and is therefore second-in-line to the throne.[4]
After Prince Salman, the second-in-line to the throne is:
- Muqrin bin Abdulaziz (born 1945), Former director general of Saudi intelligence (2005-2012),[6] Second deputy prime minister since 1 February 2013.[7] Deputy crown prince since 27 March 2014[4]
Others of the King's brothers who are eligible include:[8]
- Bandar bin Abdulaziz (born 1923)
- Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (born 1931) Former minister of communications.
- Abdul Rahman bin Abdulaziz (born 1931), Former deputy minister of defense and aviation, Sudairi Seven.[9]
- Mutaib bin Abdulaziz (born 1931), Minister of municipal and rural affairs (1980-2009).[10]
- Turki bin Abdulaziz (born 1932), Former deputy minister of defense and aviation, Sudairi Seven.[11]
- Nawwaf bin Abdulaziz (born 1932), Former director general of Saudi intelligence (2001-2005)[10]
- Abdul Ilah bin Abdulaziz (born 1935), Adviser to King Abdullah with the rank of minister since 2008.[12][12][13]
- Mamdouh bin Abdulaziz (born 1940), Former governor of Tabuk Province, and former director of Saudi Center of Strategic Studies
- Ahmed bin Abdulaziz (born 1942), Former interior minister (June 2012 - 5 November 2012), Sudairi Seven.
- Mashhur bin Abdulaziz (born 1942), Member of the Allegiance Council.[14]
Allegiance Council[edit]
With the sons of Abdulaziz rapidly growing older, it became clear that soon the supply would be completely depleted. So in October 2006, King Abdullah created the Allegiance Council[5] to deal with this eventuality. It is composed of 28 persons: King Abdulaziz's sons, the eldest sons of the brothers who have died and the sons of King and Crown Prince.[5] The Council is led by Prince Mishaal.[5]
Power of the Council[edit]
The purpose of the Council is to ensure the smooth transition of power in the event of incapacitation or death of the King or Crown Prince.
This, along with an earlier decree by King Fahd, has opened the possibility of considering Abdul-Aziz's grandsons as viable candidates. Beyond age, the criteria for selection include:
- Support within the Al Saud
- Tenure in government
- Tribal affiliations and origins of a candidate's mother
- Religious persona
- Acceptance by the Ulema
- Support by the merchant community
- Popularity among the general Saudi citizenry.
The Council votes by secret ballot.[15][16]
The council intended to determine the line of succession after the reigns of Abdullah. The council also has the right to remove sitting kings for reasons of health.

Milwaukee Brewer slugger Ryan Braun's suspension won't be the last, fans say
Fisher Cats fan Christopher Simard of Barrington talks about the suspension of Major League Baseball star Ryan Braun. Simard was at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium Tuesday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
"Braun is only the beginning, absolutely," said Jeff Roach, a fan from Henniker who attended Tuesday night's Fisher Cats game at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Baseball's drug penaltiesSteroids tests: The first time a player fails a test for steroids, he gets an automatic 50-game suspension without pay. A second positive test carries a 100-game ban. A third results in a lifetime ban, though the player may apply for reinstatement after two years.
Possession: Players convicted in court of possessing illegal steroids are subject to criminal penalties plus a suspension of 60 to 80 games for the first offense, up to a one-year suspension for the second, and a lifetime ban for the third.
Distribution: Beyond criminal penalties, players guilty of distributing steroids earn an automatic 80-to-100-game ban for the first offense and a lifetime ban the second.
Stimulants: Players who test positive for amphetamines and other banned stimulants receive a warning and mandatory follow-up testing. A second offense results in a 25-game suspension; a third offense results in 80 games. For a fourth offense, the commissioner can impose harsher penalties, including a lifetime ban.
Source: MLB.com
"It was unannounced," Fransoso said by phone on Tuesday afternoon. "The guys from Drug Free Sport showed up and caught us by surprise. We got drug-tested before we went on the field. Everyone was drinking water and trying to pee in cups and they were right there watching us do it. I had never seen a process like that before."
Drug-testing and performance-enhancing drugs were the talk of the baseball world on Tuesday, coming on the heels of Monday's announcement that Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, the National League's Most Valuable Player in 2011, has been suspended for the rest of the season, covering 65 games.
Roach and Simard and folks representing the Fisher Cats and Tuesday night's opponent, the Harrisburg Senators, think there's good news in the Braun announcement, too.
Maybe, just maybe, Simard said, the sanctions will have an effect on others.
"Maybe now some players will think again about it," he said. "But it's been, what, 20 years, of pills and injections. They're not going to stop. The money's too good."
"He took responsibility for what he supposedly did, and I respect that," Jeroloman said. "I guarantee that if they did as much testing as they do in baseball in other sports, everything from baseball to golf to tennis, they would find similar circumstances. Maybe not with the same kind of stuff, but everyone is looking for an edge."
"Look at the dollars involved," he said. "Apparently it's worth the gamble for some people if you can make yourself a better player or at least stay healthy on the field ... And baseball is a lot more diligent about it than other sports right now."
There are side-by-side posters — one in Spanish, the other in English — in at least a couple of spots in the Fisher Cats clubhouse describing Major League Baseball's Minor League Drug and Prevention Program.
"Don't Risk Your Career," reads another.

I've been in the Information Technology field for over eight years and I have noticed an increase in techs old and new using mb and MB interchangeably. I always correct these said techs. Truth is, I know what they mean and when they type it, they type it correctly. It's when it's spoken that it turns into megabits.
I found this article great because after hearing all this megabit of a mess, I started saying to myself, "Have I been doing this long enough to not even realize I have been using the terminology incorrectly? Or has the whole world gone mad?" Needless to say, it was neither. I wasn't aware of there being two "systems." I've always equated bits and bytes to binary and the almighty 1024. I think the ISP's use the mbps in combination with the 1000 system to mislead uninformed consumers. It's all a sales gimmick, in my opinion.
Furthermore, for those who still don't quite grasp it, I subscribe for a 10(mbit) line with Comcast, which equates to 10,240(kBytes) for binary value or 10000(kbits) on the 1000 system depending on ISP. Now if I go download a file with a 10meg (snicker) line, I theoretically should pull that file at a transfer rate of 1.25MBytes per second. Now, of course, again, that's the binary value. If Comcast uses the 1000 system, I will pull that file at a theoretical 1.2MBytes per second.
And ladies and gents, as for me and my brain, the binary is much easier to process. And even if I'm wrong in guessing an ISP is using actual binary values, I can calculate it much faster than the other system.

THREADBARED is an evolving collaboration between two clotheshorse academics to discuss the politics, aesthetics, histories, theories, cultures and subcultures that go by the names "fashion" and "beauty." With commentary on how clothes matter, as well as book and exhibit reviews and interviews with scholars and artists, THREADBARED considers the critical importance of taking clothes –and the bodies that design, manufacture, disseminate, and wear them– seriously as an entry point into dialogue about the world around us.
We welcome queries relating to public comments, invited talks, commissioned essays, and books, films, and videos for review on THREADBARED! Check out our press, and book us for your event.

Mimi Thi Nguyen is an associate professor of Gender and Women's Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her first book, The Gift of Freedom: War, Debt, and Other Refugee Passages, focuses on the promise of "giving" freedom concurrent and contingent on waging war and its afterlife. (Duke University Press, Fall 2012). With her second project on the obligations of beauty, she continues to pursue her scholarship through the frame of transnational feminist cultural studies, and in particular as an untangling of the liberal way of war that pledges "aid," freedom, movement, and other social goods. She is co-editor with Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu of Alien Encounters: Popular Culture in Asian America (Duke University Press, 2007), and co-editor with Fiona I.B. Ngo and Mariam Lam of a special issue of positions: east asia cultures critique on Southeast Asian diasporas (2012). A former zinester, Punk Planet columnist, and Maximumrocknroll shitworker, she is widely published on punk and queer subcultures and also blogs at Thread & Circuits, where you can find all her old columns and some zine writings archived. For more about Nguyen, see here.
Minh-Ha T. Pham, based in New York City, is an Assistant Professor in the History of Art & Visual Studies department and Asian American Studies program at Cornell University. She is currently completing her first book, Work of Art: Race, Labor, and Fashion Bloggers, which focuses on Asian diasporic super bloggers. The book takes as one of its central premises that the enormous popularity and success of bloggers like BryanBoy, Susie Bubble, and Rumi Neeley suggest a significant shift in Asians' role in fashion's informal and increasingly informational labor economy. Work of Art examines the racial and gender aspects of fashion's labor market at a moment when immaterial commodities (e.g. blogs) are becoming key sources of capital accumulation. Her writings on the politics of fashion, fashion technology, and consumption have been published in a wide range of academic journals and popular magazines. She also blogs at the Huffington Post and Of Another Fashion. And now, you can follow her on Twitter (@minh81)! For more information, click here.

Believe It: Lauren Conrad Has Really Good Jewelry Right Now
Everyone always freaks out over Lauren Conrad's perfect cat eye eyeliner, but when I met her earlier this week, it was her hands that I couldn't stop looking at. Girl's got strong jewelry game, which is, I guess, something you need if you're promoting a beverage and know your hands will be photographed all night while holding the honorary drink.
In this case, that's Malibu's new Island Spiced, a coconut-infused rum sweetened with Truvia so it's only 70 calories. "It tastes kind of piña colada-y without all the calories. Have you ever looked at what's in one of those things?" Conrad asked. (I have; it's scary.) But whatever the reason for why her hands and wrists looked so cool, they did, thanks to a recent trip to L.A.'s Fred Segal where Conrad and some girlfriends picked up matching rings.
They're awesome—delicate in size, but with slightly subversive chain shapes and arrow motifs—and yet they're just one of her very enviable recent purchases. Other ones on the list? A vintage Pucci bathing suit "with the coolest cutouts" that Conrad wore on a photoshoot and then went straight to vintage store Paper Bag Princess to buy, and "lots of easy summer things, sundresses, since I'm planning to spend some time in Nantucket this summer." At least she's already got her jewelry game all sorted out.

Dealing with diabetes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, can take its toll on your emotional well-being, while stress and negative emotions can take their toll on blood glucose control. Check out the articles in this section for tips on managing stress, dealing with depression, communicating with your loved ones, and finding support groups and other kinds of help.
Beating the Winter Blues by Lynne Spevack, LCSW
Managing diabetes can be tough in any season. As winter approaches, though, some people with diabetes find that staying on top of a management routine — and everything else — gets even harder. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you?
Coping With Diabetes Over Time Laura Hieronymus, MSEd, BC-ADM, CDE, and Kristina Humphries, MD
When you are diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes, you must face the fact that there is no cure. It is therefore no surprise that taking care of yourself may feel difficult or challenging at times. That's why dealing with diabetes over the long term requires developing a range of coping skills and techniques, from learning to carry out the daily tasks of diabetes control, to finding ways to deal with the emotions that having diabetes and having to care for it are bound to bring up at times…
Creating New Holiday Traditions by Robert Taibbi, LCSW
Ah, the holiday season: It's a time of enchantment, of magical moments and memories — undoubtedly the best of times. Well, maybe not…
Demystifying Motivation by Rita Milios, LCSW
When you have diabetes, committing to healthier habits is a big deal. But with so much at stake, why is it still so hard to find the motivation to do the things you know you should?
Depression by Paula M. Trief, PhD
Depression is a serious concern for anyone, and no less so when a person has diabetes. Studies have shown that if you have both diabetes and depression, you are more likely to have high blood glucose, diabetes-related complications, and a shortened life span. While this may be because seriously depressed people typically don't take as good care of themselves, researchers think that the link may go beyond that. Fueling their suspicions are the facts that the incidence of depression is higher among people with diabetes than in the general population and that being depressed raises the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes…
Diabetes and Your Marriage by Paula M. Trief, PhD
It's hard to have a chronic illness like diabetes. You have to watch your weight, make healthy food choices, exercise, take insulin or oral medicines in many cases, and see several health-care providers on a regular basis. But there's more…
Diabetes Blogs by Allison Blass
Blog. It sounds like something you would say when you are feeling under the weather ("I'm feeling so blog today…"), but it is actually short for Web log, a regularly updated online journal. Blogs were originally used by people who…
Eight Tips For Managing Diabetes Distress by Lawrence Fisher, PhD
Many people experience considerable distress about having diabetes and the amount of hands-on management that diabetes requires. This often includes frustration with the ongoing obligations of diet, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and taking…
Handling Holiday Stress by Linda Wasmer Andrews
'Tis the season to be jolly? Jolly well sick of the holidays, perhaps. After decking the halls, braving the malls, and baking 12 dozen cookies she shouldn't even eat, Marcia, for one, is always too tired and cranky to enjoy the big day much. To make matters worse, the combination of too little rest and too much stress often sends her blood glucose soaring out of control. It's enough to turn a sweet-tempered lady into a first-class Scrooge…
Learning Self-Compassion by Nicola J. Davies, PhD
The fact that you are reading Diabetes Self-Management suggests that you are eager to learn new ways of dealing with this demanding condition. It is important to consider how you care for your mental and psychological health…
Navigating Mental Health Care by Joseph B. Nelson, MA, LP
Navigating the process of seeking mental health care and then getting it is a daunting task for many. Even if it feels like you are adrift and have reached the point where you need therapy, making that final decision can still be uncomfortable. A range…
Perfectionism by Amy S. Mercer
The challenge is to use the numbers you collect as part of your diabetes management routine as information. But for a perfectionist, that can be especially difficult…
Relaxation Techniques for Stressful Times by Linda Wasmer Andrews
Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes chronic, it can wear you down, both mentally and physically. If you have diabetes, stress can make it harder to control your blood glucose level. It also may increase the odds of developing certain complications…
Stress: Finding Peace Amid the Storm by Laura Hieronymus, MSEd, APRN, BC-ADM, CDE, and Patti Geil, MS, RD, CDE
Everyone experiences stress in life, and people with diabetes are no exception. In fact, diabetes itself can be a source of much stress. The challenge is not to seek a life with no stress but to learn to deal with the stresses life hands us…
Taking a Zen Approach to Diabetes by Glenn M. Callaghan, PhD
Stop. Breathe in. Breathe out. Be aware. Do.
This process may be a key ingredient to help you manage stress and even help you successfully manage your diabetes…
The Importance of Role Models by Amy Mercer
A diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes was a wake-up call for Susan Ito. In her words, this working mom was "an overweight, rice-loving, couch potato" who loved food but hated her body. Determined to become a better role model for her daughters than she had been up to that point, Ito joined Weight Watchers, started [...]
The Secret to Solving Relationship Problems by Robert Taibbi, LCSW
Problems are bound to arise in any intimate relationship, and each couple finds its own way of handling them. Research has shown that successful relationships are not necessarily those that have fewer problems, but those that have found effective means of solving the problems that come up…
Updating Your Coping Skills by Reji Mathew, PhD
The journey of managing a chronic illness often follows a bumpy road with unexpected twists and turns. Successfully taking charge of any chronic condition requires good medical care, access to resources, and social support. Often, however, it's a…
When Diabetes Hits Home by Patti Geil, MS, RD, FADA, CDE, and Rachel Geil
Living with diabetes is a challenge. Far from being "just a touch of sugar," diabetes affects all aspects of your physical and emotional health. Fortunately, though, when members of a family work together to understand each other's feelings, they can support each other through good times and bad…
Whose Diabetes Is It, Anyway? by Scott Coulter, LSW
People are instinctual problem-solvers. When we hear that someone we know is facing a hardship, we want to solve it, partly out of genuine care for the other person, and partly because most people just can't stand the idea of an unsolved problem. When the problem is a chronic health condition such as diabetes, however, all sorts of short circuits can occur in our problem-solving brains..
Yoga by Susan Shaw
I gathered my legs underneath me to get off the floor, like a minute-old foal finding out what her body is for. Emotionally, I was flying. And, unexpectedly, I had been crying. I had discovered how to live inside my body with gentleness.

This is the second undergraduate architecture design studio, which introduces design logic and skills that enable design thinking, representation, and development. Through the lens of nano-scale machines, technologies, and phenomena, students are asked to explore techniques for describing form, space, and architecture. Exercises encourage various connotations of the "machine" and challenge students to translate conceptual strategies into more integrated design propositions through both digital and analog means.

This chapter reviews KISD's community relations and communications efforts in five sections:
- A. Organization
- B. Internal and External Communications
- C. Volunteer Programs and Community Relations
- D. Military Initiatives
- E. Print Services
Although military personnel's children are constantly faced with transition, they should be guaranteed a quality education. KISD administrators have embraced the challenges posed by these students and have worked closely with Fort Hood command staff to transition students into the district smoothly.
Killeen has a significant military presence and has grown into the largest active duty armored post in the United States Armed Forces. Fort Hood is the largest single-location employer not only in Killeen, but also in the State of Texas with 41,000 soldiers and approximately 5,800 civilians working on the base. Fort Hood pumps millions of dollars into the community in military and civilian pay, contracts, and local purchases. According to the Greater Killeen Chamber of Commerce, the post has a direct annual financial impact of $2.1 billion on the local area with a total annual economic impact of $3.7 billion.
Half of KISD's 28,000 students come from Fort Hood. KISD has experienced a tremendous amount of growth, attributable in large measure to the growth of Fort Hood. The district has grown from approximately 22,870 students during the 1989-90 school year to 28,539 students in the 1998-99 school year-a 25 percent increase. Exhibit 3-9 presents a breakdown of KISD's 10-year enrollment for both military and civilian students.

KISD Student Enrollment, 1989-99
(Military and Non-Military Students)
The Fort Hood 2000 Program is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Army at Fort Hood, local municipalities, and the eight independent school districts in the surrounding area of which KISD is the largest. The Fort Hood 2000 Program patterns many of its goals from the National Military Goals 2000- Educate America Act. Major goals for the National Military Goals 2000-Educate America Act include:
- Promote graduation
- Assist school districts in keeping schools safe and drug free
- Encourage parent participation
From broad initiatives developed by the National Military Goals 2000: Educate America Act, Fort Hood staff works closely with 10 education-related programs, which are administered by KISD and serve all district students. Exhibit 3-10 summarizes the Fort Hood 2000 Programs.
Exhibit 3-10Source: KISD Communications Office Services.
Fort Hood 2000 Programs
Program Description Adopt-A-School
- Teams up battalion-size military units with local schools.
- Improves students' education through unit and soldier involvement.
Parent Involvement
- Requires military parents with children the opportunity to attend scheduled parent/teacher conferences during the day while on duty assignments.
Drug Abuse Resistance Education
- Teaches elementary and middle school students the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.
- Uses trained and certified Military Police officers.
- Teaches self-esteem, decision making, and assertiveness.
Camp 2000
- Holds summer camp for 3 days at Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area.
- Teaches and reinforces leadership skills, discusses drug and alcohol issues, team building, and recreational activities.
Teacher Preparation Certification
- Identifies and screens potential teacher candidates from Fort Hood.
- Attracts candidates and expedites the transition from soldier to teacher.
- Orients and trains candidates and establishes placement network.
Math and Science Spectrum
- Promotes long term student interest in math and science. The Mobile Discovery Center is made up of the following components: Mobile Theater, Mobile Classroom, Mobile Exhibit Hall with Science Demonstrations.
Helping One Student to Succeed (HOST) Program
- Targets "At Risk" students. HOST is made up of soldier, civilian, retiree and family member volunteers.
Computers to Schools
- Allows Fort Hood to donate obsolete computers slated for retrograde to local schools free of charge. A total of $1.5 million dollars worth of equipment has been donated since the program began in 1992.
Communities in Schools (CIS)
- Provides parenting programs, TAAS tutoring, educational field trips, individual case management, supportive guidance, home visits, referrals to other agencies, summer programs, job placement, scholarships, camps, seasonal activities, and summer jobs. CIS is a local, private, nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the drop-out rate among at-risk students. CIS currently serves 3 counties, 6 districts and 26 campuses. As of January 1999, Communities in Schools is the tenth subprogram of Fort Hood 2000.
Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC)
- Promotes partnerships and networking between school districts and military bases to address transition and other education issues related to the military child.
Fort Hood and KISD both promote strong communication and positive interaction. All teachers and administrators were briefed on the deployment of troops to Bosnia during the months between October and December 1998. Each KISD school has a designated contact person for involvement with Army Family Team Building (AFTB), which provides a basic overview of the Army and Operation READY (Resources for Educating About Deployment and You). Through Operation Ready, district staff is provided information about pre-and post-deployment. Fort Hood chaplains worked with KISD counselors to develop strategies to deal with grief and family transition as troops return from deployment.
Fort Hood leadership promotes involvement in the educational process because they believe that parents who are involved in their child's education can help schools make the most out of students' educational experience. A letter supporting parent-teacher conferences designating the conference as the soldier's point of duty is issued annually from the Fort Hood Commander.
KISD works closely with Fort Hood to foster strong communication and to administer a wide range of educational support programs that benefit all students in the district.
In 1997, KISD's superintendent, with support from Fort Hood, formed the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC). Its purpose is to provide networking channels for military installations and address relocation and other educational issues for military children. The coalition includes U. S. military installations and affected public school systems as well as schools served by the Department of Defense Dependent Education Activity.
KISD's board provided $90,000 to start MCEC and allowed the district to serve as fiscal agent until the organization could be self-supporting. MCEC is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Charter members pay $750 and regular members pay annual dues of $1,500. In August 1999, MCEC became self-supporting from memberships and corporate and foundation grants.
The superintendent serves on MCEC's national advisory committee and the assistant superintendent for Education Services (Area 1) chairs the organization.
MCEC's objectives are to:
- Establish a common procedure for the efficient transfer and interpretation of student records.
- Promote common understanding and interpretation of the curricula and programs within schools supporting military installations.
- Develop a means of common communication between school systems.
- Encourage and support strong partnerships between school systems and military installations.
- Inform parents and provide access to information about school systems and requirements.
MCEC and KISD have websites that are linked. Using the Army Times 1998 edition of the Guide to Military Installations in the U.S., a listing of 200 military bases, posts and stations including Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, MCEC has initiated an ongoing effort to introduce the coalition to all interactive web sites.
For example, KISD's Internet website is frequently used by military personnel around the world who are requesting information about the district's educational services. KISD supplies information about enrollment, programs, and services, assessment for services, so little time is wasted in placing the children when the family arrives in Killeen.
In addition to the initiatives noted above, the MCEC has been involved with the following:
- Conducting annual conferences to promote networking - Since the inception of the organization, MCEC has held an annual conference to keep members apprised of programs and services. The 1999 conference was held at Offutt Airforce Base in Nebraska. During the three-day conference, workshops were held to find solutions to issues about varying schedules and calendars when students relocate from one district to another, differences in courses and credits in school districts, and more efficient transfer of student records.
- Conducting formal research about the impact of student transition - KISD was selected by the United States Army to coordinate a study to obtain an in-depth understanding of how school systems that support identified Army installations accommodate and respond to the educational needs of transitioning high school (grades 9-12) military students. The Army invited the public school systems that support the seven largest Army installations as well as selected Department of Defense systems in Germany and Korea to participate in the study. The study is limited to students that have transitioned at least one time during the high school years. The research began in March 1999 and will conclude in December 2000. As the study coordinator, MCEC will assemble the findings of the study for publication.
- Encouraging local action plans to facilitate improved academic performance - Through its involvement with the MCEC, KISD and Fort Hood encourage initiation of local action planning (LAP) to support the smooth transition of students in military families. The Killeen/Fort Hood LAP is provided oversight and direction through the efforts of KISD employees and both military and civilian representatives from Fort Hood. Academic support centers (ASCs) or transition labs are located at each high school and are staffed with at least one full-time teacher. The purpose of the ASC or transition lab is to ensure that students do not lose credit when they enroll in KISD and to accelerate instruction, if needed, when they leave the district. An ASC teacher works with transitioning military families.
The district leads a national coalition to improve educational services for military families.

Scope and Goals of the Major Program
The undergraduate major in French or Italian is designed to maximize the student's ability to understand, speak, read, and write a foreign language and to develop an informed appreciation of its literatures and cultures.
Language is a process that is learned through progressively more advanced training in the several areas it encompasses, including grammar, pronunciation, conversation, composition, and translation. Students in the major program take courses aimed at developing all of these skills in order to achieve a level of proficiency and confidence that will enable them to use the language effectively.
At the same time, a foreign language can only be fully appreciated when one is aware of its literature, history, traditions, and cultural environments. The major program is no less concerned with these aspects, which the student is encouraged to pursue in a variety of literature, culture, and film courses.
Although no program can be more than what each student chooses to make of it, an undergraduate major in French or Italian will be both an intellectual and a practical enterprise. It will provide the learner with insight into his or her own culture as well as into French, Francophone, and/or Italian cultures, and it can also lead to a variety of career opportunities.
Careers for Foreign Language Majors
As a field of humanistic learning, language study serves the larger aims of liberal education by producing well-rounded, informed, and tolerant individuals who can excel in a variety of careers. More and more, employers are choosing liberal arts majors over narrowly trained technical specialists, because their superior communication skills give them a distinct advantage in the business and professional worlds. Increasing competition and the development of a global economy have combined to make the foreign language major more attractive than ever. In addition to business, there are also career opportunities in education, law, government, international relations, and many other fields. The Department encourages students to consider a double major, combining French or Italian with another discipline. The Arts and Sciences Career Services Office, 48 Townsend Hall' distributes an information packet on Careers in Foreign Languages and has qualified personnel who can help in job placement. For more details on this subject, students should also consult the Foreign Language Center in 100 Hagerty Hall, and are encouraged to visit the FLC careers in Foreign Languages website (http://flc.osu.edu/flc_new/index.htm), 292-4361.
For more information, check out the Ohio State University's Career Connection "What can I do with this major?" website.
Beginning a Major
It is not necessary to have made a firm decision to major in French or Italian in order to consider the program and even to enroll provisionally in it. All programs require careful planning, and the sooner students begin to think about one in an organized manner, the more likely they will be to master the subject. For this reason, students interested in a major are encouraged to explore it as early as possible, preferably during the first or second year, but certainly no later than the beginning of the junior year. Any student considering a major in French or Italian and who would like to discuss the major is urged to contact the appropriate Coordinating Adviser (French or Italian), a faculty member charged with overall responsibility for the operation of the program. The names, e-mail addresses, and office numbers of the current Coordinating Advisers are listed on the third page of the Undergraduate Handbook (Undergraduate Directory).
Entry into the Department of French and Italian in the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences (ASC) can be through direct enrollment for any new first semester freshman whose primary interest is in French or Italian or by transfer from another college. Although it is possible to delay entry up to 60 hours, no student should wait beyond 50 hours of earned credit. Once a student is enrolled through ASC as a French or Italian major, the department will assign a departmental adviser to that student, in addition to the student's ASC adviser. The student can find out from the Undergraduate Program Coordinator (Jodi Obert) in 200 Hagerty Hall who his or her adviser is and should schedule an appointment with that adviser to discuss curriculum and goals.
Students transferring from University College, Continuing Education, or a degree-granting unit must complete an Arts and Sciences Transfer Information form, a Declaration of Major card, and an Intra-University Transfer form at the Records Desk in the west lobby of Denney Hall (9 Denney Hall for honors students). By declaring French or Italian on the Declaration of Major card, they will fulfill their obligation to ASC, but it is extremely important that all students report their declaration of major to the Undergraduate Coordinator of the Department of French and Italian (Jodi Obert, 200F Hagerty Hall) in order to be enrolled on the departmental list and have a major adviser assigned to them. Double majors should also inform the UG Coordinator of their second major at that time. Students who do not appear in person in the department to fill out the necessary forms and receive a major adviser will not be officially registered as majors. It should be noted that the major adviser is charged with the major program only. Students with questions concerning other degree requirements should consult an ASC adviser.
Major Program
The major program is a list of all the courses that constitute the student's major field of study and is a final contract of graduation. It is entered on a Major Program Form that is filled out in consultation with the major adviser and filed with ASC. As soon as a student's major program can be determined, and certainly no later than the junior year, a Major Program Form should be completed and filed. Any subsequent changes in the program should be discussed with the major adviser and indicated on a Revision of Major Form.
It is important for students to stay in touch with their major adviser through regular consultations, preferably once every quarter, but at least once a year. Changes of address, especially e-mail addresses, should be reported to the Language Secretary so that students may receive mailings about courses and special events of interest to them. The Language Secretary should also be informed if a student decides to discontinue his or her major or minor in French or Italian.
A course in which a student receives a grade of D+ or lower cannot be counted toward the major. A student who receives such a grade must notify his or her major adviser in order to determine whether to repeat the course or choose a substitute. If a course in which a student earned a D or D+ is repeated, the additional hours earned will be added to the minimum 124 necessary for graduation.
Placement Testing and Transfer/Deferred Credit
All students whose last course in French was in junior high or senior high school are required to take a placement test. See the section in the Undergraduate Handbook on "Foreign Language Placement Testing" for instructions. If your last course in Italian was in high school, please contact the Italian Language Director for placement information, Janice Aski . If you have credits in either French or Italian to transfer from another college or university, please see the section on "Transfer/Deferred Credit Procedures."

Middle-aged waitresses who were fired by Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City are suing the hotel, alleging that they were let go because they didn't look as good as younger colleagues in new skimpy costumes, according to the Press of Atlantic City.
The discrimination suit filed in the state Superior Court alleges Resorts and its new owner, Dennis Gomes, created a "sham evaluation process" in which cocktail servers auditioned in new outfits in a Roaring '20s theme and were judged on their appearance by a modeling agency representing the casino, the paper reports.
Resorts Casino defended its practice, stating that the new costumes are a "critical aspect" in rebranding the hotel into a Roaring '20s theme. "All cocktail servers were given individual consideration and the selection process was conducted in a fair and objective manner," said the hotel, in a statement. "We empathize with the cocktail servers who lost their jobs and gave them hiring preference in other open positions at Resorts. Some took advantage of this offer and some did not."
Seven former cocktail servers are listed as plaintiffs. Fifteen women were let go after the modeling agency's evaluation, the report says.
"As far as I'm concerned, a man or woman can do that job at any age as long as they have a good personality, a good memory and good balance," Kevin Costello, a New Jersey attorney representing the plaintiffs, told the paper.
The plaintiffs are seeking to be reinstated with full pay and unspecified damages.
