yes plutonium is a very dangerous and in my opinion, very useless element. We as human beings don't need to be messing with such a powerful and potentially dangerous element. We're not god, we're just lowly pathetic human beings who only know how to wage war and find new cures to things that end up hurting us more than helping us.
We fight over nothing but dirt and criticize other races, when in reality, we're all the same. We all bleed the same color and again, we're not god. we should just drop the element and stop fooling with it. If we did, it could be the only potential smart thing mankind has done for itself.

An Ahsahta Press anthology curating poetic work in the pastoral genre that is considered postmodern, experimental, or avant garde. Read more
About this project
"I can't even enjoy a blade of grass unless I know there's a subway handy, or a record store or some other sign that people do not totally regret life." —Frank O'Hara, "Meditations in an Emergency"
THE ARCADIA PROJECT: NORTH AMERICAN POSTMODERN PASTORAL is an approximately 500-page anthology bringing together seminal work in the genre of the pastoral as it has evolved into the 21st century. Published by Ahsahta Press, edited by poets Joshua Corey and G.C. Waldrep, and designed by Jeff Clark, the book includes sections on New Transcendentalisms, Textual Ecologies, Local Powers, and The Necropastoral.
Featuring some of the most provocative and innovative poets of the current moment, this anthology has been curated not only with an eye to an exhilarating reading experience, but to the literature and creative writing classrooms as well. An accompanying website with a teachers' guide will make this volume especially valuable for students and teachers.
From the introduction by Joshua Corey: "The blade of grass, the record store: necessary inclusions to the Arcadias of these poems (though the grass may be engineered by Monsanto, though the record store may be an MP3-blog or the CD rack at WalMart). Postmodern pastoral retains certain allegiances to the lyric and to individual subjectivity while insisting on the reality of a world whose objects are all equally natural, and therefore equally unnatural. Because this is an anthology of poems, its primary orientation, its allegiance, must be to the aesthetic, to the movements of language and the imagination. Yet as the ecocritic Kate Soper has remarked, 'it is not language that has a hole in its ozone layer'; imagining 'the good life,' or its betrayal, has a clear relation to the actual suffering world. Postmodern pastoral offers a means of mapping the shifting terrain of that world while maintaining its ethical consciousness that the map must never be mistaken for the territory."

If you ordered the "free" pants from Btrendie on Friday, see my post here http://thesqueakygrocerycart.blogspot.com/2010/06/you-can-get-these-pants-from-btrendie.html
you can expect an email today saying that because of "technical difficulties" the price of the pants is now 13.99 and they will be refunding the $10 credits. I have some issues with this. I feel like the demand was overwhelming and they are not honoring their pricing. Just wanted to give you the heads up if you ordered from them.

(KMOV) – A Wellston city council member faces charges after she allegedly assaulted a member of the public at a council meeting Monday night.
Helen Jackson was charged Wednesday with third-degree assault.
According to court documents, a woman was attending the Wellston City Council meeting on Monday when she began questioning why the council was going into a closed session.
Authorities said Jackson got out of her chair from behind the podium and approached the woman and grabbed her arm.
Police said woman then balled up her fist like she was going to punch the victim when officers arrived.
The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of a shoulder sprain.
It's not the first time Jackson has been at the center of controversy. She allegedly threw a soda bottle at another council member at a meeting several months ago.
Jackson could also face charges for that allegation as well.
The investigation is ongoing.

Man airlifted after fall while tubing in ChattahoocheeBy Dean Dyer Staff HELEN - A man tubing down the Chattahoochee River in Helen this weekend was airlifted to an Atlanta Hospital after tripping on a rock in the riverbed.
Authorities said the man, who has not been identified, was taken by air ambulance as a precaution since his fall may have resulted in a spinal cord injury. His condition in not immediately available. In addition, six to eight other tubers were evaluated over the weekend when a large section of a tree fell into the river, but officials said no one was transported as a result of that incident. © Copyright 2015 AccessNorthGa.com

Kilimanjaro: Martin & Team Greetings from Shira Camp
Posted by: Jeff Martin | January 29, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 12,500'
Hello from Shira Camp,
When we woke up this morning, it was crystal clear and the mountain was completely visible. The group wasted no time packing up camp and we were walking by 8:00. With the early start we completely avoided all the trail traffic and pretty much had it to ourselves for most of the day. We gained about 2,500' total, reaching our high point at 12,500'. Everyone did extremely well today with both the terrain and the altitude. We stopped en route for a nice lunch before traversing up to the west to gain the Shira Plateau. We were in camp by 1:00 and had the whole afternoon to enjoy our new camp. We mostly sat around the dining tent talking about past adventures and tried our best to keep up with the tea and snacks that were being delivered non-stop. We'll head back to the dining tent around 6:00 for dinner and then settle into our tents for the evening.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day for us as we are trekking to almost 15,000'. Lava Tower will be the high point for tomorrow, and then we will begin our descent to Barranco Camp. Even though we are gaining almost 2,500' in the morning, we will be back to almost the same altitude that we are right now. And this is exactly what our bodies need and is key for proper acclimatization. We are ready for the challenge!
Best regards,
RMI Guide Jeff Martin

Here we explain the properties of current window types and what they are made-of, including wood windows, clad wood windows, vinyl cladding on wood windows, fiberglass cladding on wood windows, solid vinyl windows, fiberglass windows, and aluminum windows. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Guide to Window Materials and ConstructionIn this article series we discuss the selection and installation of windows and doors, following best construction and design practices for building lighting and ventilation, with attention to the impact on building heating and cooling costs, indoor air quality, and comfort of occupants. We review the proper installation details for windows and doors, and we compare the durability of different window and door materials and types. This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons. As described in Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction Chapter 3, BEST PRACTICES GUIDE: WINDOWS & DOORS: For centuries, even before glass was used for glazing, windows were framed with wood set into building walls. Our photo (left) shows an antique wood-framed window in Rugat, Spain (DF). Earliest wood framed windows were left open (such as this example from Xotolar, Mexico). Later in areas of more hostile climate windows were glazed with animal skins, then parchment, and finally, glass. For many years, the material choices for "modern" or new residential windows were limited to wood, clad wood, and aluminum. Wood and clad wood remain the leading materials, accounting for almost 50% of the new and replacement window market. Wood use has been declining, however, with the rapid growth of solid vinyl windows. Solid vinyl windows made inroads into the replacement window market in the mid-1980s; but they were not widely accepted in new homes until the 1990s, when their use skyrocketed. Solid vinyl windows now account for an estimated 30% of the new-home market and 60% of the replacement market. Aluminum windows account for about 15% of window sales, with the remaining share of the market spread among fiberglass windows and a variety of hybrids and composites that have entered the fray, making window selection today anything but simple. Wood and Clad-Wood WindowsWood is the traditional material of choice for residential windows. It can be milled into highly detailed designs, such as true divided lites, and easily fashioned into just about any custom configuration. Photo at left, masonry window details, Barcelona, Spain demonstrate stone masonry window trim details. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, wood has excellent insulation value, and if well maintained can last indefinitely. Our photo (left) of a wood-built casement window set into this stone wall in Barcelona, Spain, shows a window that is more than 100 years old. On the downside, wood must be stained or painted and well-maintained or, over time, it will be vulnerable to peeling paint and decay. Windows with wood exposed directly to the weather, such as open casements, are particularly vulnerable. Although wood is dimensionally stable with temperature changes, it does swell and shrink with changes in relative humidity, causing tight-fitting windows to stick in humid summer weather. When selecting a wood window, look for materials that are factory-treated with a water-repellant preservative, which will help prevent decay and also improve paint retention and dimensional stability. The vast majority of
wood windows made today have a vinyl- or aluminumclad
exterior. A clad exterior is the most practical choice,
providing a maintenance-free exterior with the look of a
wood window on the interior. The only downside is a limited
color choice. Construction Details for Wood WindowsSome very high-end wood windows are manufactured from rot-resistant species, such as mahogany, but most use clear pine for the sash and visible portions of the frame. The hidden portions of most wood windows use some combination of solid wood, finger jointed lumber, and various types of engineered lumber, including laminated-strand lumber (similar to oriented strand board, or OSB). Watch out: Leaks into wood window or door components can cause severe rot even on newer products, as our photo (left) illustrates. And where finger-jointed wood is used for window or other wood parts exposed to the weather, if the wood is not kept painted and sealed, we find that finger joints may swell, separate, and invite rot or insect damage - DF. Composite windows are beginning to be used as well, such as Fibrex, a proprietary wood-vinyl composite used in the subsills of some of Andersen's replacement windows and patio doors. In general, wood windows are sufficiently strong and rigid for most residential applications. However, it is always best to use windows approved by one of the three agencies that certify windows and doors (see Window Certification). In coastal areas or other areas prone to high winds or hurricanes, look for products with a suitable pressure rating from the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) or the Window and Door Manufacturer's Association (WDMA). Vinyl Cladding on Wood WindowsWhile vinyl cladding is only offered by a few manufacturers, one of them is Andersen Windows, by far the largest supplier of residential windows in the United States. Andersen's clad windows' strong record of durability, reliability, and moderate cost has helped make vinyl-clad windows one the most popular options today. Good quality vinyl-clad windows have a heavy-gauge covering, and heat-welded corners to provide a durable seal against water entry. Vinyl cladding is also more energy efficient than aluminum and is preferred by some in coastal environments subject to salt spray. Watch out: on some older versions of vinyl clad windows that leave wood exposed (typically at the ends of sills projecting outdoors) or where vinyl cladding over wood has been damaged, broken, or cracked, we often find rot as well. On the downside, vinyl comes in only a few colors, typically white and beige, and cannot be painted. Some manufacturers, such as Andersen, now offer a limited number of dark tones as well, using newer technologies that resist the fading and heat problems characteristic of dark colored vinyl. Vinyl is also vulnerable to cracking in cold weather if struck by an errant baseball or hammer. While all manufacturers cover the exterior frame and exterior face of the sash, some also protect the top of the sash, which is important in casement windows. Andersen wraps the entire sash inside and out, providing excellent protection (see Figure 3-3 at left). But for those seeking the look of wood on the interior of the sash, consider windows with exterior-only cladding, such as those from Weathershield and MW Manufacturing. See vinyl window details at VINYL WINDOWS. Aluminum Cladding on Wood WindowsA number of manufacturers offer aluminum cladding, using either relatively thin roll formed aluminum or heavier-gauge extruded aluminum. The advantage of extruded aluminum is that it adds strength and rigidity to the window and resists denting better than thinner stock. Also, aluminum can be formed to crisper profiles than vinyl, creating a less bulky appearance. Other advantages of aluminum include a wider choice of colors and the ability to be painted if desired. One downside to aluminum cladding is a slight reduction in energy-efficiency compared to vinyl-clad windows. On average, a vinyl-clad unit has an R-value about 10% higher than for a comparable aluminum-clad window. See aluminum window details at ALUMINUM WINDOWS. Properties of Fiberglass Clad WindowsA few manufacturers, including Marvin and Milgard, offer wood windows clad on the exterior with a tough fiberglass composite manufactured in a process called pultrusion (see FIBERGLASS WINDOWS). Pultruded fiberglass is an ideal cladding material due to its durability, energy efficiency, and very low rate of thermal expansion. Unaffected by heat, cold, and moisture, manufacturers claim that pultruded fiberglass will never crack, peel, or warp. Fiberglass-clad windows come prepainted with a factory finish and can be repainted on site if desired.

(KMOV.com) – Some are pushing for a concert that is set to take place at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Tuesday night to be canceled.
Employees of the concert venue said many have called, and are concerned after the unrest that has occurred in Ferguson. Wiz Khalifa is scheduled to perform.
"I think we need to let law enforcement focus on where it needs to be, controlling a crowd and have other crowds. I'd feel the same way if this was a cancer job or some other event that has major public people coming to it," a woman who did not want to be identified said.
One mother News 4 talked with said her teenage son is going to the concert with some friends but she is trying to talk him out of it.
Police told News 4 they are adding precautions and feel comfortable with security measures they are putting in place.
"We are aware of the situation and we are taking all the necessary precautions," a spokesman for the amphitheater said.

Why are these volumes so expensive?
Why are these volumes so expensive?
well i'm sure if you buy it IN japan it ain't that expensive...i mean, kids there buy 'em every month, it's gotta be somewhat affordable at least.
cool cover. but my favourite is still the naruto and jiraiya one, that was the best...forgot which volume it was though, think it was 41.
Here in NY state I believe a Naruto/Bleach manga volume or anything of that length is close to 7-10 dollars.

MLB Teams With Apple On Paperless Ticketing: Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Paper tickets for popular events seem to be going the way of black and white TV and AM radio. Especially when it comes to Major League Baseball.
Announced last night at a NYC gathering, mobile ticketing for baseball games is expanding and will be available for 13 ballparks this season.
As reported by GigaOm, you will able to buy and present your e-tickets by using Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) Passbook app on your smartphone.
In addition to the four teams that began the service late last season (New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals), the new teams signing on will include the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates. No Yankees on this list - yet.
Last week, MLB introduced its 2013 At Bat application, popular with both iOS and Google's (GOOG) Android users. The free version of the software is increasingly preferred by Android fans while iPhone baseball lovers are much more willing to shell out the $20 per season for premium content. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com Out Our Best Services for Investors

Auto-Tune EFX 2 from Antares is a native based plug-in for real-time pitch correction and for creating the familiar Auto-Tune Vocal Effect. A new Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation processor allows for adding a variety of intricate musical patterns to a track for sonically dramatic vocal effects. The plug-in is powered by the same core technology as the company's Auto-Tune 7, a professional standard.
The plug-in was designed to make almost all functions automatic, thus simplifying the process of vocal enhancement. The software features two different flavors of the Auto-Tune Vocal Effect in addition to the real-time pitch correction. Just select the desired effect type, set the key and scale of the track, and Auto-Tune EFX 2 does the rest.
For songs with complex chord progressions or modulations, the user can set up custom scales or use a host's automation facility to allow for the processing of virtually any vocal line.
- Auto-Tune EFX 2's pitch correction works by continuously tracking the pitch of the vocal and comparing it to the notes in a (customizable) scale
- The scale note closest to the input pitch is identified as the target note - if the vocal's pitch exactly matches the target note, no correction is applied
- If the vocal's pitch varies from the target note, either sharp or flat, the output pitch is smoothly corrected to the target note
- The Auto-Tune Vocal Effect is what is technically known as "pitch quantization"
- Instead of allowing all of the small variations in pitch and the gradual transitions between notes that are a normal part of singing, the effect limits each note to an exact pitch, stripping out any variation, as well as forcing instantaneous transitions between notes
- Auto-Motion Vocal Pattern Generation adds intricate musical patterns to a vocal performance
- Patterns are selected from a built-in (and expandable) library in a variety of styles and can be synced to the host's tempo at various beat divisions
- At any point in the vocal track, simply click the Auto-Motion Trigger button to send the vocal on a melodic adventure

didn't like it and took it all apart? I worked on a necklace last night that looked really cute, until I put it on. You would have thought I would have learned my lesson from the last time I made something that I didn't like. My craft room needs a mirror because I'm too lazy to go upstairs to look in the mirror (it's in the basement). It didn't lay right on my neck and the special beads (you know the ones you "save"), weren't in the right place. Even the length was a little bit off. Oh well, all I've wasted is some wire.
I knitted a sweater with cables and everything so lots of work but it doesn't quite fit. So I need to undo some of it and take it in to make it smaller but I can't bring myself to do it. I just don't have the energy. It sucks when that happens!
I spent the better part of a weekend frantically knitting a scarf...then decided I really hated the pattern and ripped it ALL out to start over again!! I have the same problem when I make my medieval outfits...I'll spend hours on it, using a pattern I've used before, only to find that I don't like the cut of the bodice when I'm done *sigh* What a waste of fabric and handsewing!!!
Both of those sound worse than my "ugly" necklace. I never could get the hang of knitting, as much as my grandmother tried to get me to learn. She'd be proud of my daughter who knits for relaxation and has made some beautiful scarves.
I do that constantly, with pretty much any craft project I start. I'm a perfectionist about stuff like that and if I even start to get the faintest notion that I might not be completely in love with the way something is turning out, I'll undo it and start over (or worse yet, abandon it and start something else). That's probably why I've got about a dozen half-completed scarves and 2-3 afghans lying around here, and why anything I paint (e.g. unfinished wood) ends up with 5-6 different-colored coats of paint on it from the various times I've changed my mind. I think I've got one bracelet that I liked after the first stringing; the rest've been done and redone I don't know how many times.
I know I have so many UFO's (unfinished objects) in my craft room, I should open a store. When I start getting unhappy with the way something is looking, I just stop and move on to something else. When I get around to looking at it again, sometimes I love it, other times it gets trashed and reused. I find I never like anything when I first finish it. I need to take time away, and then look with "new" eyes. Although, sometimes even LOTS of time won't help some things...

The bezel is also textured for a better grip.
Here you can see the two areas on the back where the case is lightly textured for a better grip. The material is slightly translucent so that you can still see the Apple logo.
The earphone port has its own door on the Duo, protecting it from water damage.
The volume rocker is also covered, although by necessity the orientation lock switch is left exposed.

5 Cyclone 2Posted: 26/05/2011Plays every file format known as far as ive tested it, all your different screen settings can be adjusted to suit your playback needs, works a dream with a 1tb buffalo hard drive, remote not the best but does the job.
5 GREAT BUYPosted: 02/11/2009Had my wireless headset for over a year and its used daily, A full charge lasts around 6 hours of play, never had a fault with it, sometimes forget its on my ear and go to the shop looking like a right silly billy.
4 Great buy from LGPosted: 29/10/2009I brought the 250gb version but everything else is the same. Its never froze or locked up and the menu system is easy to use. You can copy photos and mpeg4 files into the hard drive from usb or cd/dvd discs. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is because it has not got a twin tuner and can only record one channel at once.
5 TOP PHONEPosted: 31/01/2009You name it the phone has it, comes with all leads you need and disc for pc.

so I would like to get a rifle next. I will have a shotgun, and can't get a pistol for a few more months. so my question is which should i get next ?
I am leaning towards getting an AR-15 stripped lower, and building an AR-15. I like this lower. 5.56, Spikes Tact. .
If I don't go for the AR-15, I am thinking of getting a Remington 700. I like the versatility of the AR platform. what are the pros and cons of each ?
also, given the current climate in teh gov. i think i might go AR first. the rem. 700 shouldn't be banned for a little while.

I haven't really noticed the lack of flash. Maybe I just don't tend to visit sites that use it, but I only rarely see the blank space where I should see flash video.
When they say NO FLASH, does that mean like you can't watch youtube and stuff like that or is that different…?

Oh boy. GIFs… licensing fees… the mid-90s…. GAH!
Wikipedia said:
In 1977 and 1978, Jacob Ziv and LZ77
and LZ78. In 1983, Terry
Welch developed a fast variant of LZ78 which was named Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW).[11][12]Welch filed a patent application for the LZW method in June 1983. The
resulting patent, US patent 4558302 , granted in December 1985, was
assigned to Sperry Corporation who subsequently
merged with Burroughs Corporation in 1986 and
formed Unisys.[11]
Further patents were obtained in the United Kingdom, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan and Canada.In June 1984, an article by Welch was published in the IEEE magazine which publicly described the LZW
technique for the first time.[13]
LZW became a popular data compression technique and, when the patent
was granted, Unisys entered into licensing agreements with over a
hundred companies.[11][14]The popularity of LZW led CompuServe
to choose it as the compression technique for their GIF format,
developed in 1987. At the time, CompuServe was not aware of the patent.[11]
Unisys became aware that the GIF format used the LZW compression
technique and entered into licensing negotiations with CompuServe in
January 1993. The subsequent agreement was announced on December 24,
Unisys stated that they expected all major commercial on-line
information services companies employing the LZW patent to license the
technology from Unisys at a reasonable rate, but that they would not
require licensing, or fees to be paid, for non-commercial, non-profit
GIF-based applications, including those for use on the on-line services.[14]Following this announcement, there was widespread condemnation of
CompuServe and Unisys, and many software developers threatened to stop
using the GIF format. The PNG format (see below) was
developed in 1995 as an intended replacement.[11][12][13]
However, obtaining support from the makers of Web browsers and other
software for the PNG format proved difficult and it was not possible to
replace the GIF format, although PNG has gradually increased in
The libungif library allowed GIF's to be decoded but not encoded
without use of the Unisys LZW patent.[15]In August 1999, Unisys changed the details of their licensing
practice, announcing the option for owners of Billboard and Intra net
Web sites to obtain licenses on payment of a one-time license fee of
$5000 or $7500.[16]
Such licenses were not required for website owners or other GIF users
who had used licensed software to generate GIFs. Nevertheless, Unisys
was the subject of thousands of online attacks and abusive emails from
users believing that they were going to be charged $5000 or sued for
using GIFs on their websites.[17]
Despite giving free licenses to hundreds of non-profit organizations,
schools and governments, Unisys was completely unable to generate any
good publicity and continued to be vilified by individuals and
organizations such as the League for Programming Freedom
who started the "Burn All GIFs" campaign.[18]The US LZW patent expired on June 20, 2003.[19]
The counterpart patents in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and
Italy expired on June 18, 2004, the Japanese counterpart patents expired
on June 20, 2004 and the counterpart Canadian patent expired on July 7,
Consequently, while Unisys has further patents and patent applications
relating to improvements to the LZW technique,[19]
the GIF format may now be used freely.

About the Program
Welcome to UAB where students become skilled, reflective educators through undergraduate and graduate degree programs in elementary and early childhood education. This innovative program offers degrees and/or certification at four levels—bachelor, master, specialist, and doctoral.UAB's elementary and early childhood program embodies a three-fold purpose. Its first purpose is to train educators in meeting the evolving needs of learners, primarily in grades P-6, within today's rapidly changing society. Its second purpose is to deliver cutting-edge instruction through a standards-based, inquiry-focused approach. Based on constructivism, this approach prepares prospective and experienced educators to use state-of-the-art instructional strategies in their own classrooms. Its third purpose is to ensure that a quality program is available to pre-service and in-service teachers who may be unable to attend class during traditional class hours.
This program is unique in how it combines online support from Blackboard with a variety of delivery formats:
If you wish to pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree in elementary and/or early childhood education and also earn initial or advanced teacher certification, you have come to the right place! We look forward to hearing from you and to helping you reach your goal.
Kay Emfinger, Ph.D.,
Program Director and Associate Professor
Department of Curriculum & Instruction
UAB offers two undergraduate degree programs that prepare candidates to work in early childhood and elementary education settings.Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Early Childhood and Elementary Education
• At UAB, students can earn a bachelor's degree in the early childhood and elementary education. This double major qualifies candidates for Class B teacher certification in the following teaching fields and grade levels:o Early Childhood Education, birth – 3rd grade
o Elementary Education, K – 6th grade
Non-Certification Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Early Childhood Education
UAB also offers an undergraduate non-certification degree in early childhood education that prepares candidates to work in a variety of early care and educational settings serving children ages birth to five.Descriptions for the undergraduate education courses are available on the course catalog.
UAB's graduate degree program in elementary and early childhood education is comprised of a master's degree, an educational specialist (EdS) degree, and a doctoral degree. The MA and EdS degrees prepare candidates to earn teacher certification in early childhood education (from birth through 3rd grade) and in elementary education (from 3rd through 6th grade).Master of Arts in Education (MAEd)
The alternative master's program (AMP) is for graduate students who do not already hold teacher certification in elementary or early childhood education. To be eligible for seeking initial teacher certification at a master's level, applicants must have an undergraduate degree with a 2.5+ GPA on their transcript from a regionally accredited college. They must have passed the Basic Skills test and the Praxis II exam in the targeted teaching field and also met other criteria stipulated by the ALSDE. Upon completing the AMP, candidates earn alternative Class A certification in this teaching field. Detailed information is provided in the following documents: AMP Information Packet and AMP Student Handbook.The traditional master's program (MA) is for teachers who already hold Class B certification in elementary or early childhood education. Upon completing the MA, they earn Class A certification in the same teaching field. Detailed information is provided in the MA Information Packet.
Educational Specialist (EdS)
Elementary and early childhood teachers with Class A certification can earn Class AA certification by obtaining an educational specialist (EdS) degree. They may opt to pursue an EdS in Teacher Leadership or an EdS in elementary education or early childhood education. Detailed information is provided in the EdS Information Packet.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Early childhood educators can pursue a PhD in early childhood education. Detailed information is provided in the PhD Information Packet- Doctoral Program Overview

Tell the House: It's Time for a Vote on Paycheck Fairness
Although a majority of Americans support equal pay legislation, the House of Representatives still hasn't brought up the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 377) for a vote. But we have a chance to right this wrong.
There's an obscure House of Representatives procedure called a discharge petition, which automatically brings up a bill for a floor vote if a majority of representatives (218) sign it. As of April 8 - Equal Pay Day - 197 representatives have signed on to the discharge petition for the Paycheck Fairness Act. We just need 21 more signatures, and then the House will be forced to hole a vote on the bill.
Contact your representative, and tell them the House must vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act!
The Paycheck Fairness Act would close loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963 that prevent the original law from better addressing the pay gap. Specifically, the Paycheck Fairness Act would require employers to prove that pay disparity is based on a legitimate business reason not related to gender, or due to seniority, merit, or productivity. It would also prohibit retaliation against workers who discuss or ask about salary information.
We need the Paycheck Fairness Act to bring the Equal Pay Act of 1963 into the 21st century. Today – in 2014! – women face a gender pay gap at every education level and in every occupation, and the gap is worse for mothers and women of color. Even when comparing "apples to apples" and controlling for all factors known to affect earnings, AAUW researchers still found a 7 percent unexplainable pay gap between men and women just one year out of college – and 7 percent is no small change.
Tell your representative to sign the discharge petition and call for a vote on the Paycheck Fairness Act.

As she traipses around New York, she sees the whole world in the way a child might peer into a sugar egg at a colorful three-dimensional diorama within. At Mr. Gaston's patisserie, he tells her about Paris as he bakes croissants and madeleines. Readers peer through a die-cut square in his bakery window to glimpse the Eiffel Tower. Turn the page, and an exciting blue landmark map of Paris unfolds. (Is that a tiny petit prince we see as well?) At Mr. Singh's newspaper stand, our window on the world takes us to winged elephants and onion domes and the many-armed gods of India. Mr. Ciao from Italy ("Buon giorno, Maddalena") makes visions of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and cats on gondolas and the Coliseum dance through our heads. Throughout Sís's enchanting, moody illustrations dances blonde-haired, lavender-clad, yellow-booted Madlenka with her yellow umbrella--reminding us of what is really important. "Madlenka! Where have you been?" "Well... I went around the world. And I lost my tooth!"
Fans of Sís's gorgeous work in Caldecott Honor Books Tibet: Through the Red Box and Starry Messenger: Galileo Galilei will find an equally stunning, but more accessible book in Madlenka. Children will discover enough fascinating details to stand up to hours of fierce page perusal, and adults will, as ever, marvel at Sís's breathtaking artistry. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson
