The Faculty Fellow-In-Residence program is part of an ongoing university effort to create intimate "learning communities" for our students by integrating their academic experiences with their residential lives.
Faculty Fellows work closely with one another and with residence hall staff to set an intellectual tone in the residence hall and to design and implement a wide range of opportunities for students to interact with faculty members and with one another.
By bringing cultural and intellectual experiences more directly into student life in a lively and more informal fashion, the program offers students the benefits of "small college" life within the larger contexts of both the University and the City of New York.
Meleko (Born in Francistown, Botswana) is currently Clinical Assistant Professor at Gallatin, where he teaches classes in painting, drawing, and art related theory seminars. He completed his M.F.A at the University of California, Los Angeles (2011) and the Whitney Independent Study Program in 2008. Along side teaching, Meleko is an artist and has his studio in Sunset Park.
Since coming to the US in 2003, Meleko splits his time between the US and Botswana, which he visits once a year to see his family and conduct research for his studio work. Majority of his family is located in Maun, a northern town situated in the Okavango Delta, where he grew up and spent most of his childhood. Meleko, an avid supporter of almost every sport, was a semi-professional track athlete and soccer player.
Michelle, a native Californian and recent New York City transplant, is writing her dissertation on French travel writing. Before living in Los Angeles and New York, she spent five years in Paris. Michelle teaches comparative literature, French language and writing. In her spare time, Michelle enjoys doing yoga, making guacamole and traveling. Meleko and Michelle look forward to exploring New York City with you.
"We both love to eat, cook and seek out great eateries in all neighbourhoods. So we will be making trips to Jackson Heights, Harlem, Borough Park, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and more. Our outings will also feature a good amount of art, theatre and dance shows."
Ethan Youngerman and Rebecca Lessem are thrilled to be the new Faculty Family in Residence here in Senior House. They love exploring the culture(s) of this amazing city and are particularly excited to help you get the most out of your last year as students even as you prepare for your first year in the "real world."
Ethan is a Senior Language Lecturer in the Expository Writing Program, where he's taught since 2001. He holds a BA in Theatre Studies from Yale and an MFA in Dramatic Writing from our own Tisch School of the Arts.

As a born-and-raised New Yorker, Ethan's lived in every borough except Staten Island and roots for the Yankees because he loves excellence in all things.
Rebecca is the Director of Business Development for a software company. Even Ethan has trouble describing what she does. Let's just say it involves helping universities and other organizations capture and spread their knowledge through online video. As a born-and-raised Bostonian, Rebecca has terrible taste in sports teams but extremely good taste in food and fashion (see her blog: rebeccalikes.blogspot.com).
Senator is a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit. He's seven years old, highly opinionated, and too soft for his own good. He's free range and could go anywhere in our apartment, yet he prefers a couple great corners, the better to think through the complicated Affairs of State that weigh heavily on his little head.

The Bentley-Gary kids are loud and laugh a lot. They love playing sports, listening to and making music, facebooking with other teenagers, can be found occasionally exploring the city with their parents, looking for good foodstuffs, but are more often off with their friends. They are also frequently found in the Rocky Mountains where their parents grew up, hiking, biking, camping, swimming, water skiing, sleeping under the stars, hanging with family and friends, and reading under pine trees. Our apartment will be filled with lots of middle school and high school kids, and our friends from NYU and the city, and of course Brittany-ites.

Bob Boland has been the FFiR in Coral Towers since 2007. Bob is a lawyer by training. He's been a prosecutor, defense lawyer and even a judge. He worked as a sports agent for a decade and he's been a Clinical Associate Professor, teaching Sports Law and Sports Business courses in the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management in SCPS, since 2001. Bob became the Academic Chair of the Tisch Center, overseeing curriculum, faculty and managing student issues for the Tisch Center's 700 bachelor's and master's students in 2011.
A former college athlete- football and wrestling- at Columbia, Bob has established a bit of a media profile in recent years. You might see Bob talking about serious sports issues like lockouts and contracts but more likely you'll see him on TV when a famous athlete has done something scandalous and Bob's been on Good Morning America, The Today Show, NBC Nightly News, ABC World News Tonight and CNN talking about everyone from Mike Vick to Tiger Woods.
Bob's wife, Semone, is the chief operating officer of a Fortune ranked health care company and oversees business operations of the company around the world. So Semone is often on the road or in the air, but when she and Bob are together in NYC, they love the city's many zoos, its great museums and restaurants and regularly open up their apartment on Sunday mornings to share bagels, coffee and the Sunday papers with residents.
Semone's interests include: power walks, the Oscars and Southern fiction. Bob loves to play tennis, The Great Gatsby, watching "Morning Joe" and the Mets and Jets. They both have become addicted to yoga over the last year.

Carley Moore holds a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Binghamton University, a M.A. in English Literature and Poetry from New York University, and a Ph.D. in English Education from New York University. She is a Master Teacher of Writing in the Liberal Studies Program at New York University and an Associate at the Institute for Writing and Thinking at Bard College. Her dissertation, entitled Seventeen Magazine and the Girl Writer, examines the relationship between popular American culture, American political movements in the last forty years, and how teenage girls have responded to these cultural and political changes in writing for Seventeen magazine. Carley's poetry, essays, and articles have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Aufgabe, Coconut, Fence, and The Journal of Popular Culture. She is the Book Review Editor for the website Writing in Public, and her debut young adult novel, The Stalker Chronicles was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux in 2012. You can find her blogging and see more of her work at: www.carleymoorewrites.com. Her current scholarly interests include: contemporary American poetry and fiction, the history of the essay, girls' studies, and global youth subcultures.
As a Faculty Fellow in Residence at Goddard, Carley is committed to programming that offers residents a strong service component, as well as the opportunity to interface with the avant-garde (whether it be in dance, theater, poetry, or even food). Ongoing programs include: Hurricane Sandy relief, City Harvest food preparation, Cheese Vs. Chocolate snack hour, Indie New York Film Series, and organic cooking classes.
Carley also teaches a Goddard Class - Writing I: The Writer, the Text, and the World. In this class we will study the essay—how it works, what it looks like, how to read it, and best of all, how to write it. The essay has many homes. You'll find essays in newspapers, magazines, academic journals, literary magazines, and on-line, but some essays are, of course, better than others. We want to write the good ones, the ones that present readers with a genuine question or problem, and attempt to explore that problem or answer that question by way of deep, sustained, and interested work with evidence. Sometimes that evidence will come from personal or lived experiences, but more often it with come from a variety of different kinds of texts, both visual and written.
Philip Kain is currently the curriculum chair for writing in the Global Liberal Studies. As a dancer and performance artist Philip's work has been seen at Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, City Center, The Joyce, and Dance Theater Workshop among others.

As the FFIR at Gramercy Green (the newest item on her list of things she enjoys), most of the events she'll sponsor will likely involve one or more of those things.
She also asks that you make her aware of any wonders or pastimes that should be added to her list.

Aisha Khan is an Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department. She is very excited about joining the FFIR program and getting to know you. Aisha grew up in Los Angeles and went to graduate school in New York. Her research focuses on the Caribbean region (particularly the British West Indies) and the Atlantic coast of Central America, and her main areas of study are Asian and African diasporas, Atlantic World religions, race and ethnicity, colonialism, and postcolonial societies. She teaches classes on diaspora and migration, race and identity, the Caribbean, and Islam in the Americas. New York City is a wonderful place to explore these topics—through neighborhoods, festivals, music, theater, museums, films, and cuisines. Aisha loves international travel and takes trips as often as possible. She loves reading, especially history and historical fiction—most recently about Cleopatra and Elizabeth I—but also magazines, from the New Yorker to Martha Stewart Living. She finds caves fascinating and her favorites so far are "Balancanche" in Mexico and "Cueva de la Pileta" in Spain. Aisha loves movies but even better is live theater, from exponentially off Broadway to the theater district. And when she's watching TV at home she likes the Food Network, Project Runway, and courtroom dramas. Last but not least, pets have been a part of Aisha's entire life and she's proud to say that her cat Phoebe turned 19 years old last spring, or about 100 in people years!

Advanced Placement classes challenge students with collegiate-level learning meant for motivated students, not exclusively for the Ivy-League oriented.
Autumn O'Bryan, Cleveland High School principal, said a mistake is made when people assume AP courses are only for straight-A students.
"I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking AP courses are for the upper echelon of students," O'Bryan said. "AP courses allow students with a keen interest in certain subjects to follow their studies deeper."
O'Bryan noted, "In an ideal world, students would take an AP biology course even if they were a terrible English student — or if they had not traditionally taken honor courses throughout school — if they were interested in biology."
Advanced placement courses are equivalent in difficulty to 100- or 200-level college courses. There are currently a total of 34 AP courses offered through the College Board at high schools across the nation. These courses includemacroeconomics, Physics B, music theory, computer science, world history, studio art, Chinese language and culture, European history, human geography and more.
The number and type of AP courses offered varies from high school to high school.
O'Bryan said CHS currently offers eight AP courses with the expectation of several more in the coming years. The eight offered are calculus, statistics, chemistry, environmental science, biology, English literature, European history and U.S. history.
Julie Phillips, AP teacher at CHS, said her expectations for general curriculum and honors students are the same as for her AP students.
The difference lies in how much preparation a student will have for college.
Students take an exam at the end of the year to test their knowledge on their enrolled subjects. The scoring rubric is based on a 1-to-5 scale.
According to the College Board, most four-year colleges across the nation and colleges in more than 60 countries will give college credit for students who score a 4 or a 5.
College credit is attained for a 100 or 200-level course similar to the AP course taken in high school. A high school graduate with a score of 4 or 5 in four AP courses could receive 12 or more college credits automatically.
O'Bryan said high school students are looking at AP courses as a way to eliminate unneeded course costs in college.
Exam results can be sent directly to the colleges high school seniors plan to attend. Each exam costs $89. Sometimes a school or a school board, like the Cleveland City Schools Board of Education, will cover the costs. CHS students do not have to pay for their AP tests.
All AP teachers must turn in a syllabus prior to teaching an AP course. College Board representatives review and either approve or deny each course syllabus.
Phillips said the general layout of her AP classes does not differ much from general curriculum courses.
"We typically spend a large part of the class in lecture and discussion. We incorporate Socratic discussion as much as we can," Phillips said. "Students are asked to read and complete assignments in preparation for lecture and discussion."
Athena Davis, CHS AP teacher, said her AP students move at a faster pace.
"I teach English 4 as well as AP, and my AP class reads all of the same works my English 4 course does, but they also read eight to 10 extra novels," Davis said.
She agreed her courses are more discussion-based than general courses.
"In AP courses, the burden of the work is placed on the students, with the role of teacher more of a facilitator/enlightener, if you will," Davis said.
Jeannie Cuervo, CHS AP teacher, said Advanced Placement courses allow students to struggle.
"High school teachers and college professors can understand the importance of [struggling]. If our very bright students are never challenged in high school, they can have a great deal of difficulty in college," Cuervo said.
"Struggling allows them to learn how to think, learn how to problem solve, learn how to manage their time and learn how to persist."
She said having the experience of struggling in a safe environment like high school is a priceless experience.
Cuervo encouraged more students to enroll in AP courses.
"We at CHS feel more students can and should be taking AP courses. CHS AP teachers are strongly committed to helping our students be successful and to providing opportunities for all CHS students," Cuervo said.
O'Bryan said some students do not enroll in AP courses out of fear for their GPAs.
"I think typically students are afraid to take chances. They are protective of their GPA," O'Bryan said. "I think at times they would [rather] sacrifice learning — or at least furthering their knowledge base — than receive a B. That culture is tough to break."
Students with an interest in taking an AP course can bring the matter up with their guidance counselor. Some schools require a recommendation by a teacher before a student is enrolled in an AP course.
Those interested should address their questions now as many high school students will soon be selecting their courses for next year.
"You do not have to take an AP course in every subject offered," O'Bryan said. "I think the biggest thing is having an interest in the subject and having a good work ethic. It is not necessarily harder as much as different."

Main Content
Uncontrolled blazes fueled by weather, wind, and dry underbrush, wildfires can burn acres of land—and consume everything in their paths—in mere minutes.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, clear 4 million to 5 million acres (1.6 million to 2 million hectares) of land in the U.S. every year. In recent years, wildfires have burned up to 9 million acres (3.6 million hectares) of land. A wildfire moves at speeds of up to 14 miles an hour (23 kilometers an hour), consuming everything—trees, brush, homes, even humans—in its path.
There are three conditions that need to be present in order for a wildfire to burn, which firefighters refer to as the fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Fuel is any flammable material surrounding a fire, including trees, grasses, brush, even homes. The greater an area's fuel load, the more intense the fire. Air supplies the oxygen a fire needs to burn. Heat sources help spark the wildfire and bring fuel to temperatures hot enough to ignite. Lightning, burning campfires or cigarettes, hot winds, and even the sun can all provide sufficient heat to spark a wildfire.
Although four out of five wildfires are started by people, nature is usually more than happy to help fan the flames. Dry weather and drought convert green vegetation into bone-dry, flammable fuel; strong winds spread fire quickly over land; and warm temperatures encourage combustion. When these factors come together all that's needed is a spark—in the form of lightning, arson, a downed power line, or a burning campfire or cigarette—to ignite a blaze that could last for weeks and consume tens of thousands of acres.
These violent infernos occur around the world and in most of the 50 states, but they are most common in the U.S. West, where heat, drought, and frequent thunderstorms create perfect wildfire conditions. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, and California experience some of the worst conflagrations in the U.S. In California wildfires are often made worse by the hot, dry Santa Ana winds, which can carry a spark for miles.
Firefighters fight wildfires by depriving them of one or more of the fire triangle fundamentals. Traditional methods include water dousing and spraying fire retardants to extinguish existing fires. Clearing vegetation to create firebreaks starves a fire of fuel and can help slow or contain it. Firefighters also fight wildfires by deliberately starting fires in a process called controlled burning. These prescribed fires remove undergrowth, brush, and ground litter from a forest, depriving a wildfire of fuel.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, naturally occurring wildfires play an integral role in nature. They return nutrients to the soil by burning dead or decaying matter. They also act as a disinfectant, removing disease-ridden plants and harmful insects from a forest ecosystem. And by burning through thick canopies and brushy undergrowth, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, enabling a new generation of seedlings to grow.

Former Illinois Governor Jim Thompson and attorney for George Ryan talks about Ryan after he was released from federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana and entered a half way house on Ashland and Monroe streets in Chicago early Wednesday January 30, 2013. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: March 2, 2013 11:50AM
Former Gov. George Ryan came home from prison Wednesday to an Illinois that I would argue is less politically corrupt than the one he last governed 10 years ago.
I'm talking about incremental as opposed to fundamental improvement. Our culture of corruption is too deeply entrenched to be erased in two decades let alone one.
Yet if you step back and survey the current political landscape, there are hopeful signs amid the constant causes for concern.
The most important change is that Illinois voters have raised their expectations about the ethical standards of those they elect. To the extent we've seen improvements, that's where the credit belongs.
I say that despite the fact voters on the West Side recently chose to return Rep. Derrick Smith to the state Legislature with a federal corruption trial awaiting him. That was disappointing.
But in all of the key high-profile offices, voters have been gradually making upgrades.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel runs a cleaner shop than did Rich Daley, as best I can tell.
Gov. Pat Quinn is a definite improvement over Ryan and Rod Blagojevich when it comes to operating an honest state government.
And at Cook County, Board President Toni Preckwinkle has shown herself to be more interested in conducting an ethical operation than were the Strogers.
Part of what sets those offices apart is that there is more and better information available to the public. The stakes are higher, and voters have responded accordingly. Farther down the ballot, where both information and choices are more limited, it's still pretty much hit or miss.
I don't want to be naive.
People are people, and politics is corrupting by its nature.
The hubris of self-styled reformers who believe that anything they do is by definition beyond reproach can be as much a threat to honest government as the wink-and-a-nod boodlers who once were the norm.
As a wise if cynical colleague cautioned, just because we haven't discovered corruption in the current administrations doesn't mean it's not there.
Corrupting influences remain deeply rooted in the bureaucracies and in the various branches of government beyond the good intentions of any one elected chief executive.
The current lineup of those awaiting trial at 219 S. Dearborn is hardly different from the defendants with which Ryan would have been familiar before he went away to prison — an assortment of current or former aldermen, county commissioners and legislators, along with lower-level patronage employees, all accused of abusing their positions in some manner.
Certainly, the fundamentals are still the same. Politics in Illinois remains an economic spoils system as much as a competition of philosophies.
Accordingly, the intersection of money in politics in the form of campaign contributions remains a corrupting force that will continue to cause many of our problems—just as it did for Ryan and Blagojevich.
In addition, last year's round of redistricting once again allowed state and local lawmakers to choose their constituents instead of the other way around — all for the purpose of maintaining those in power.
At the local level, politics remains a hustle for too many of its participants.
The Illinois General Assembly, Chicago City Council and Cook County Board of Commissioners remain stacked with powerful players for whom ethics is a game in which the rules are drawn to provide cover as much as set limits.
Elected officials carrying law licenses remain among the ones most worthy of suspicion. Changes at the top have done little to undercut the power of these big dogs.
It occurs to me I've done a better job here of making the case that corruption still reigns than that anything has improved.
Like I say, we're talking small improvements, not major ones. For the trend to continue, it will be up to the voters to keep paying attention and make more smart choices.
Who knows, by the time Blagojevich gets out of prison, he might not even recognize the place.

Sloane Stephens knocks out Serena Williams in Australia
loane Stephens of the US hits a backhand return to compatriot Serena Williams during their quarterfinal match at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013.(AP Photo/Andrew Brownbill) |
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Serena Williams is out of the Australian Open after losing her quarterfinal match 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 to 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens.
Williams appeared to hurt her lower back while attempting to pull up short of the net during the eighth game of the second set. She called for a trainer after the ninth game with the score 5-4 and on serve.
Stephens won the second set when Williams, serving slower than usual, was broken. Williams also had her service broken in the final game of the match.
At 2-1 and on the way to a changeover in the third set, Williams smashed her racket angrily on the court then threw it toward her chair.
Stephens will play defending champion Victoria Azarenka in the semifinals.

Women's football | 'This book is dedicated to other Martas, barefoot and dirty'
The slide show from Graciano's website, including pictures from his Dec 04 visit to Dois Riachos—a place of "persons of authentic and irrefutable values."
Editor's note
These two translations from Diego Graciano's biography of Marta Vieira da Silva, Você é mulher, Marta! (São Paulo: All Print Editora, 2008), 21–22, 23 (see related article, 15 Sept 08), have been provided by Buddy Hughes. The translations, from Spanish and Portuguese, respectively, are used with permission and have been authorized by Graciano, the copyright holder.
In South America, in one of the most marginalized areas of northeast Brazil, only 100 miles or so from the tourist center of Maceió, capital of the state of Alagoas, lies an invisible town. Not only with regard to the geographical map of the region.
At various times, the inhabitants of Dois Riachos [Two Little Rivers] are left without access to something so essential as the taste or feel of water.
Despite their dramatic situation, they seem quite naturally to transform all the daily scarcities from which they suffer into human abundance, when some visitor from the outside world draws near to take an interest in them. Perhaps some sensitive traveler can help me take true measure of this emotional experience. The stress from my São Paulo background was relieved when I arrived at Dois Riachos, halfway down an abandoned route that joins Maceió with Santana do Ipanema.
In the heart of this forgotten place reside some 13,000 living bodies. They are persons of authentic and irrefutable values, human beings inadmissible in the megalopolis from whence I had departed. Dois Riachos could not change its lifestyle because that would deprive the people of their faithful virtues such as patience and confidence.
Within this gentle refuge characterized by its innocence, Marta was born.
A poor little girl, of very humble origin, owner of a dramatic life story that could only be portrayed in a book (the first of its genre about women's soccer).
A true and actual narrative that reveals the depth of personal excellence that goes beyond the sport itself. Marta would abandon everything for her dream of playing soccer: the person most beloved, her mother, and the tradition most odious, the phantom of submission, which still makes many women feel like prisoners. In a dignified manner she challenged those who would prohibit her from developing her unique grand passion. And even to the point of risking her own dignity in face of the humiliations she received.
If it had not been for her incredible willpower, today we would think of Marta as just one more typical native daughter of Dois Riachos: passing her days playing for the adult men's team of the CSA club. She would be a young girl dreaming of a more ambitious future that she would never achieve.
As there are no prophets who come to these parts.
Those who do come would only offer a T-shirt inscribed with the symbol of some political party, a slate of candidates and a photo of some official.
However, in due time Marta broke the mold and assumed the risk.
She deserves all of her conquests.
In an apocalyptic world of illusions and false promises, her experience should be considered a symbol for millions of girls and boys who lack the necessities of life, but who still believe in their dreams. This book is dedicated to other Martas, barefoot and dirty.
With her audacious appearance there now exists "a before" and "an after" in the most popular sport in Brazil.
Not only because her talent provoked a great impetus for the growth of women's soccer worldwide. To indicate the degree to which women's soccer has advanced, on the cattle ranches of five-time champion Brazil, Marta's name will continue to be added to showcase after showcase, along with the names of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Romário, Robinho. This book was started when Brazilian Marta Vieira da Silva was in her 18th year of life, at the time when she had already been consecrated as soccer's foremost woman idol. As Mario Zagallo defines her in this book: "She is the female Pelé." This is her true story.
[Translation © 2008 Buddy Hughes. All rights reserved.]
The highlight reel from Marta's club side, Umeå IK.
This is the observation of Diego Graciano: sharp.
In presenting the progression of soccer player Marta, he places a magnifying glass over a beautiful and precarious region of Brazil.
This is the outlook of Diego Graciano: prophetic.
When he initiated his biographic work, the name of Marta was beginning, timidly, to be projected.
In an move combining innocence with vision, Diego placed a crown on Marta's head in order to take her photograph. A playful act clothed in truth.
Two years before she was chosen the best woman player in the world by FIFA, the biographer anticipated giving her the scepter.
This should be our viewpoint about Diego Graciano's book: grateful.
The work of this Argentine youth is a declaration of love for Brazil.
With analyses refined from reality that transcend the more habitual biographical style, he gives rise to a concrete image of the little "street girl," of the valiant woman, who made her talent into an implacable strength.
Marta shines. She shines forth for Brazilians and for the world. Symbol of struggle, of excellence, of ability.
The work Você é mulher, Marta! [You Are a Woman, Marta!] gives Dois Riachos a place in history. Within the imagery of Brazil, it adds growth to the notion that hope never perishes.
—Iraci Nogueira, Professor of Literature

My neighbor owns this toaster, she paid $70 for this exact toaster (we checked the model #, which was the same). It requires a little space in your kitchen, however, it's the best toaster that I have owned. Toast evenly, most toasters don't. Buy it and buy one for a Christmas gift. You will be pleased with this product.
It didn't toast evenly. So I couldn't recommend it to anyone. It's looks and cost were good. I gave it away and bought something else.
The T-Fal Avante toaster makes a uniformly golden toasted slice every time. The bagels came out toasted better than any other toaster I've ever had. The push-up feature is great; I can get rid of my wooden grabber that I used to dig toast out of my old toaster.
I originally bought this toaster for my father. For a product that toasts just two slices, it is much bigger than I expected. If I had seen it in a store, I never would have purchased it. It works fine but it is way too big.
I really like this toaster, except that it does not toast evenly on both sides, one is darker than the other. The feature that I really like it the button in the middle that stops the machine and pops the toast up. Also the defrost button,
Everything works as stated. With the angled top, we no longer have to pull it out from under our kitchen cabinets for use.
it is a very nice toaster. I think I will be enjoying for years to come.
Can't go wrong for the price. We needed a good quality toaster and that is what we got
Handsome. Good toasting. Bread flies out, hits the floor. Must be prepared .
After purchasing and returning 4-5 other toasters at various retailers, I purchased this toaster. The others were returned for poor quality/toasting. This toaster, though not perfect, is adequate so this one did not get returned. I don't eat bagels so I cannot speak to that, but I am an English muffin person. One slot tended to burn the edge of he muffin, so I toast only half time, then flip and toast again. Does not fly out of slots like other reviews have commented, but it is a strong spring action. I tried toaster waffles y'day for the first time and it performed great. Did a good job with bread as well, but note that wide bread slices just "fit" in the slot, no extra space. My old toaster (which I was 27 year-old ***** and it worked perfectly until it died) was a flat top and I used to like to butter the bread and place it on top to let the butter melt, no can do here, but I like the look of this toaster and the fact one can see in to stop it from burning without removing the item being toasted. Not the perfect toaster, but good enough. Hope it will last for a few years.

UPDATED: School salad bars removed in union dispute
Mike Hornick
Related Articles
Sounds like laziness to me..
I'm so proud - the Unions are protecting their employees from abuse - of course that had a bit more validity when it was dying in coal mines and not the rigors of having to lift bowls of lettuce... you just have to be kidding.
I wonder what the people harvesting the lettuce think about this? I'm sure they'd be more than happy to take a job in the cafeteria preparing salad for the students!
Easy fix, just rewrite your job descriptions, fire the people that don't what to do their job and tell the Union to stick it!! Problem solved.
You got to be kidding me! What an absolutely self centered, selfish and idiotic move! Just another example how unions will do anything to serve their own interests with total disregard for their responsibilities to their jobs and employers. In this case they work for the people and the community. And who are they protecting??
I will lay odds that Judy Durand is anti- lettuce and greens! She sounds more like a Pizza Pocket person to me! Lets Go Obesity!
I've heard it all now. The union folks in that area should be ashamed of themselves!! The poor overworked souls.
What would Michele Obama think about this! Healthy Healthy Healthy .. yet the Union (which support her husband) don't want to do the extra work. The salad bars were free ! When will we start just doing the right thing!
This is produce terrorism! A way is found to curb obesity and its shot down by some liberal, lazy union. Are you kidding me? What is happened to our country? I feel for those Californians that have to put up with these ignorant people.
The Unions will put themselves ahead of the children EVERY time.
This is a new low for labor unions.
"Mary, what would you rather do - rotate the chopped lettuce or clean the mens room? That is in your job description." "Congress will meet on this next session." B.O.
Next time you hear a Democrat use the worn out line; "We must pass this bill for the sake of our our children" You know its nothing but deception from the truth hidden behind the smoke and mirrors" Union Democrats have shown their true colors. Just as they did during Hurricane Sandy when they turned away Southern Non-Union workers. Despicable!!!!
It seems that with great effort, coordination and inventive intention, we move two steps forward to better our community, nad then get pushed 5 or 6 steps backwards by "politics".
And you wonder why unions have an image problem?
I'd bet these workers are from the same union as the Twinkie killers that wouldn't accept concessions before letting Hostess die & losing all of those jobs... How hard is it to work in this country? What percentage of us, just do the job, no matter what the description says & better our communities; this is not only an outrage, but of greater significance since most of the "salad"originates from there or is controlled by a company with ties (in the general vicinity)...
Unions represent dues paying members. They will represent the Children when they start paying dues!
More proof that these sorts of unions have no place in a modern day American workforce. They are no longer here to protect worker's health and rights... they now only serve to entitle their members to laziness, inefficiency, and a do-the-minimum- needed-to-get-by attitude.
Oh boy
I have yet to comment back on any articles I have read but I am truly disturbed to see this is a Union Issue. Shame on the staff. It is clear this staff is not student centered. I have had salad bars in my elementary schools for over 15 years. This staff is lazy should be reprimanded and gives school food service a miss conception.I would go as far as to let the staff all go hire people that care about students health and well being. U
Not EVERY time...but this decision is about people being comfortable enough in their positions that they can get away with doing as little work as humanly possible.
There are as many Republicans in the Unions as there are Democrats. Why do Republicans always blame all the bad decisions on Democrats? It's not about political affiliations, it's about laziness.
Wow, when did providing our children a healthy lunch become about what's best for the unions and not what's best for our kids...
absolutely PATHETIC~ both the employees and union reps should be ASHAMED! You have jobs/positions because of the CHILDREN and you are taking something away from them? something AMAZING I might add! AGAIN unions cause PROBLEMS for our kids... not solutions.
I belong to a Union, but would leave it in a second if it pulled a stunt like this. How much extra work is there really? One more thing to clean? Stock? This is the prime example of one employee complaining about it, and a Union taking it too far. My kids have a salad bar at their school and LOVE it, and that is in an Elementary school. Get rid of the complainers, and get people who actually care about the children.
Unbelievable that the Administration is so afraid of the union that they actually removed the Salad Bars. I understand each Salad Bar cost $2785.00. What are we becoming when lazy uncaring slobs get priority over doing what is best?
