Phils' Miner to get rare start filling in for Kendrick
Marlins tab Eovaldi, who missed his last outing with back tightness
Looking for their second sweep of September after going three months without one, the Phillies expected to send out right-hander Kyle Kendrick for his career-high-tying 31st start of the season on Wednesday against the Marlins.
Instead, it will be Zach Miner taking the mound at Citizens Bank Park. With the team as a reliever since the beginning of August, he's set to make his first Major League start since Aug. 12, 2009 with Detroit.
Kendrick was scratched from his scheduled turn in the rotation because of soreness in his throwing shoulder. On Tuesday, Kendrick had an MRI, but Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg didn't expect that the medical team would find anything serious.
"It's very cautionary and conservative," Sandberg said. "He's felt something the last few weeks. He just wanted to get peace of mind about it. He was able to pitch and could still pitch now. But it was a precautionary move now to get him checked out."
Sandberg wasn't sure if Kendrick would be shut down for the season, but the scratch opened up the door for Miner.
Miner underwent Tommy John surgery after the 2009 season and missed all of 2010. He then bounced around the Minors until getting called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Aug. 3.
In 13 relief appearances, Miner has given up 20 hits and eight runs in 19.1 innings (3.72 ERA). The 31-year-old right-hander has gone 2 2/3 innings in two outings, and he's pitched more than one inning on seven occasions.
With Lehigh, Miner made 27 appearances, 12 of which were starts. His most recent start came on July 30, when he gave up just one hit and two walks in five scoreless innings.
Hoping to block the sweep on Wednesday, the Marlins will turn to right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who missed his last start with a tight back. In his most recent outing on Sept. 7, Eovaldi gave up five runs on nine hits in just three innings against the Nationals.
Now healthy, he hopes to improve on that performance.
"Eovaldi is back, literally back," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "It's good. You never know with those things how it's going to act this late in the season. Hopefully, he can bounce back and give us a couple of starts."
Phillies: Team performing under Sandberg
For most of the season, the Phillies had one of the worst records in baseball. Through Aug. 15, Philadelphia had a .442 winning percentage (53-67), which was tied for the fourth-lowest in the National League and sixth lowest in the Majors.
In their first 30 games since Sandberg took over for Charlie Manuel as interim manager on Aug. 16, the Phillies went 17-13. That .567 winning percentage was good for the third best in the NL, trailing only the Nationals and Cardinals in that span.
Marlins: Redmond grew up admiring Phils skipper Sandberg
When the Marlins and Phillies met to open the series on Monday, Redmond was eager to talk to his counterpart, Sandberg.
Both managers grew up in Spokane, Wash., but by the time Redmond was a kid, Sandberg's career had taken off and his name was prominent in his hometown.
"It was good," Redmond said of talking with Sandberg. "I mean, there is a field named after him, so I grew up playing games on Ryne Sandberg field. You know he, John Stockton, Mark Rypien were athletes that as a young athlete growing up in Spokane, that you looked up to."
Redmond also acknowledged the uniqueness of two managers from the same town squaring off against each other.
"If you really think about it, what are the odds that two guys from Spokane are coaching two of the 30 Major League teams?" Redmond said.
Worth noting
• The Phillies are looking for their fourth sweep of the year, and this week's would mark the second of the season against the Marlins.
• Philadelphia has won seven straight against Miami en route to an 11-4 record in the season series.
• The Marlins are riding a four-game losing streak for the second time this month.

Harmony, MN
That pioneer spirit has survived in the descendants of those hardy settlers as Harmony continues to serve the farming and business community. The trains have disappeared but the old rail bed has been developed into a hiking and biking trail.
The Harmony-Preston Valley State Trail connects Harmony to the Root River Trail System. The 54 miles of recreational trail allows one to bike, ski, hike or roller blade through lively country and observe the wildlife.
The symbolism of the name has taken on new meaning with the arrival of nearly 100 Amish families to the area since 1974. With their old-world farming methods, the Amish offer a stark contrast to the modern machinery and tall silos of their neighbors, while reminding tourists and residents alike of the lifestyle of our ancestors.
Today we live "In Harmony"...with our Amish neighbors. A number of Amish families accept visitors and two businesses, Michel's Amish Tours and Amish Country Tours, offer car and group tours of the Amish settlement. You may visit a basket maker, candy maker or baker, and/or a furniture shop. As you travel the back roads you'll see buggies and horse-drawn farm equipment.
The area is blessed with rolling hills and valleys, fertile soil for growing crops, and plenty of water in springs and brooks. The bluff country is also known for the "driftless area," being the only part of Minnesota untouched by glaciers thousands of years ago.
The Karst geologic formations and underground rivers created sinkholes and caves. The area's best known-- Niagara Cave has been in continuous development and operation for over 60 years! One-hour guided tours offer a chance to thrill at nature's beauties including a 60-foot waterfall, the crystal wedding chapel, huge stalactites and rock formations millions of years in the making, all far below the earth's surface. The cave stays a constant 48 degrees year round. Niagara Cave has a gift shop and a 10 acre picnic ground.
The Harmony area has some of the finest trout streams in the state, river canoeing with rentals available, snowmobile and cross-country trails, and outstanding hunting for wild turkey, upland game birds, deer and small game. Harmony also has a nine-hole golf course, one of a dozen in the area which offer an almost end-less variety of terrain as well as reasonable fees and uncrowded courses.
The Harmony area has many fascinating historic sites; our forebears were deeply religious and built many beautiful country churches. That pioneer spirit is evident today in the restored Lenora stone church near Harmony, built in 1856 (first in Fillmore County) by Rev. John Dyer, a Methodist circuit rider. A visit is a highlight of the Amish tours, and public services are held at holiday time and on several summer Sundays.
One of the nice things about spending some time in Harmony is the fact that we offer you a place to stay and good food to eat. The Country Lodge Motel is a welcome haven for travelers and visitors. Located in a former creamery building, the motel offers twenty-four rooms, a large lobby, meeting room, continental breakfast and other amenities. The Selvig House Bed & Breakfast is the beautifully restored family home of Dr. Carlus Selvig, one of Harmony's early community leaders, and the Park Place Guest Room is located adjacent to Harmony's Selvig Park. Slim's Bunkhouse will be the perfect place to stay for those seeking a more rustic atmosphere. Dining options in Harmony include the Harmony House and the Country Bread Basket.
Campers may find a comfortable place in Harmony's municipal campground. Primitive camping is also available at Austin's Angora Goat Farm.
Harmony offers the shopper many unique and interesting alternatives. For fine hand-crafted Amish quilts, furniture and other items, country crafts and period antiques you need go no further than Center & Main Antiques, Michel's Amish Gift Shop , Intrepid Traveler, Amish Connection, the Village Depot , Village School Quilt Shop or the Sugar Plum House. All are found in downtown Harmony. Harmony's newest addition is the Skandinavien Blomma which features fine Scandinavian gifts and imports and the Clover Art Gallary showcasing the creative talents of our artisans.
Another new attraction in Harmony is Slim's Woodshed which offers wood carving classes, artist's demonstrations, museum and gift shop. The Grand Emporium features hand crafted items, antiques, wood working, sculptures and pottery from over 50 local crafters. Austin's Angora Goats and Mohair Gift Shop offers a unique gift shop featuring Mohair yarn blankets, sweaters and goat-related gift items.
The Harmony Toy Museum offers a nostalgic look at our history, with exhibits of over 4,000 play things from the past. Toy tractors, trains, cars and early planes share space with dolls and toy animals of amazing variety.
Harmony is a small town with a lot going for it. We have a vital and growing business community. Besides having a reputation for our excellent family restaurants, we have the advantage of a community clinic, good schools, active industry, the only movie theatre in Fillmore County, library service, businesses and all the other things you would associate with a community that cares about its people and its future. We want the opportunity to show you what hospitality is all about.

Francis International Airport (HD Universe)
this wiki
In Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Francis International Airport (FIA) is an airport situated in Dukes, Liberty City. The airport takes its name from an older rendition of the airport in an older rendition of Liberty City, but is otherwise completely redesigned.
It is bordered to the north, south, and east by the ocean; the Broker-Dukes Expressway to the northwest (Meadows Park); Tudor Street to the west (Willis); and Saratoga Avenue to the west (Beechwood City).
The airport is based on Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City, while the runway design emulates that of LaGuardia Airport, also in New York. It is both Liberty City's largest (in land area terms) and most easterly neighborhood. Francis International is even larger than other large city districts such as Acter Industrial Park and Alderney City in Alderney. The airport is serviced mostly by FlyUS and their fleet of Boeing 747-300s (which seem to be the airport's only air traffic), and a handful of Shamal-based planes. Found around the airport are signs for "AdiosAir", however this is the only indication of a rival airline. FIA has several jets (similar to Bombardier CRJ-100's) parked nearest the helipads and southern most entrance; some in FlyUS' express theme, some are private business jets from various countries. Three Annihilator helicopters parked on three helipads (two Buzzards and one Annihilator in TBoGT) can be flown in multiplayer. In single player, one Annihilator is found once the player has killed all 200 flying rats. Hangman's NOOSE always start here (see article for details). Also, Team Deathmatch games can be started here. If one is started, make a beeline for the choppers. If you can't fly them, make sure no enemies gets inside of them.Upon entering the runway or certain inner grounds of the airport during single player, the player receives a four star wanted level while on foot or in a land based vehicle and a fleet of NOOSE Cruisers or NOOSE Patriots, FIB Buffalos and NOOSE Enforcers will give chase and stop the player with whatever means necessary. While in a helicopter only a two star wanted level is attained.
In GTA Chinatown Wars, entering the runway does not give the player any wanted level. None of the airplanes have any logos on them. Airplanes including large jumbo jets and small private jets or occationally, a jumbo, can be seen taking off and landing on the runways but they don't move from or to the taxiways.
Points of interest
- Within the airport's boundaries are a police precinct just off the Broker-Dukes Expressway, south of the Willis access road, as well as a fire department, just south of the passenger terminal.
- There is a barge off the end of the Northwestern-facing runway seemingly added just to provide players a stunt jump. The barge is filled with boxes, which can be destroyed if a car is used on the jump.
- Several LCPD officers can be found at different points (most notably the southeast section) that carry Assault Rifles. This is an easy way to obtain the rifle early in the game, provided the player can escape the 3- (4-, if the player escapes onto the runway) star wanted level that comes with murdering a police officer.
The Broker Line runs through the Francis International Airport station, providing arrivals to the city with quick travel to the rest of the city and departures easy and convenient access to the airport.
From the road, the most convenient access to the Airport is offered by expressway exits. Both the Broker-Dukes Expressway and the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway possess exits to FIA. There is also an access road from Willis; this can be reached from Tudor Street.
Upon entering the tarmac area, the player's wanted level will quickly change to 4 stars, regardless of the previous level. So, one could lower their 5 or 6-star wanted level to 4 stars. This is apparent in the Xbox 360 version of the game. Although if you hover in a helicopter, you will only get a 2 star wanted level.
It is also possible to enter the terminal building, by a glitch, but since it wasn't intended to be accessible, it will have no interior. An example of this can be seen here. A video showing how to actually get inside buildings can be seen here
If you land a helicopter on top the rotating radar, you will find that you can land on it and walk on top of it even though there's nothing below you. It is a good place to snipe on multiplayer.
- In GTA IV planes never leave nor enter the airport (except in missions), they fly low above it then climb. Even the planes on the runway just taxi and then head back to the tarmac. In GTA Chinatown Wars they do take off and land but, after landing, don't move off the runways.
- The mission That Special Someone has a scene at the airport. During the mission the 4-star automatic wanted level isn't in effect.
- The ends of the runway humourously say "Caution your blast".
- The multiplayer game mode Hangman's N.O.O.S.E. take place here for the first half of the mission.

New Requirement for Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination: Updated October 2013
Beginning on January 1, 2012, all entering students are required to show evidence of an initial bacterial meningitis vaccine or a booster dose during the five-year period preceding and at least 10 days prior to the first day of the first semester in which the student initially enrolls at an institution. An entering student includes a first-time student of an institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education and includes a transfer student, or a student who previously attended an institution of higher education before January 1, 2012, and who is enrolling in the same or another institution of higher education following a break in enrollment of at least one fall or spring semester.
Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast - so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is a treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities.
Exceptions to Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Requirement
A student is not required to submit evidence of receiving the vaccination against bacterial meningitis if the student submits to the institution:
For information about requesting a conscientious objection exemption form from DSHS click here: http://collegevaccinerequirements.com/.
The DSHS exemption form may be ordered electronically; however it will be mailed to the address provided by the student. Please allow up to two weeks to receive the form. The form must be completed, notarized, and submitted to our online student medical records system.
DSHS has certain requirements about the expiration of the conscientious objection form, and photocopying the form, as designated in the question and answers below:
1. How long are the DSHS affidavit exemption forms valid?
These documents are valid for 2 years after the signature date of the notary. For the initial filing, the form must be turned into the school within 90 days of being notarized or it is no longer valid.
2. Can the DSHS affidavit exemption forms be transferred from one university to another (as part of their student record)?
For students transferring colleges/universities, it is possible to transfer the affidavit exemption form as long as it is still valid.
The Texas Health & Safety Code does not address the confidentiality of exemption forms/affidavits after they leave the DSHS office. Institutions of higher education will need to speak to their own legal counsels about any concerns they have about legal requirements specifically related to the transfer of student records between institutions.
It should be noted that it is not always possible to re-use an immunization exemption form at a second institution once it has been used at the first school.
3. Can the new DSHS public junior college exemption forms be transferred?
The new public junior college forms are not transferrable as they are specific to the public junior college. Students will need to get new exemption forms in this instance.
4. Can the DSHS exemption forms be photocopied?
No forms can be reproduced whatsoever, it's a violation of law.
For more information please visit http://collegevaccinerequirements.com/index.php.
The university DOES NOT accept any bacterial meningitis information.YOU MUST LOG INTO YOUR WEB FOR STUDENTS ACCOUNT TO VERIFY THIS REQUIREMENT.
A link titled "Verify Meningitis Shot Requirement" will be listed at the bottom of the Main Menu page. If you are not required to meet this requirement, the link will be missing or you will receive a message that states you do not have to meet this requirement.
Texas A&M University-Texarkana has chosen the services of Magnus Health SMR (Student Medical Record) to provide Web-based access of evidence that a student has taken their Bacterial Meningitis vaccination. All new and former students that meet the new bill requirement are required to submit documentation through Magnus Health SMR, to ensure your course registration at A&M-Texarkana is not delayed.
When you log in to your Magnus Health SMR account you will be able to download the forms that need to be completed to provide proof of the vaccination (or exemption). If you have any additional questions please contact customer support from Magnus Health SMR, which is available to you by phone (877-461-6831) and email (email@example.com).
*Please note: If the vaccine is not verified at least 10 days prior to the first day of classes in the semester in which you are beginning at the university you will be dropped from all classes, a hold will be placed on your account and you will not be able to attend classes past the 10th class day. You will be responsible to pay for any fees added to your account.

Homer-happy Blue Jays visit Halos' happy home
LA has won 10 straight at Angel Stadium; Weaver duels with Happ
The challenge for Jered Weaver to keep the Angels' streak going is a similar one for most pitchers facing the Blue Jays this season: keep the ball in the park.
The Angels have won 10 straight games at home and 15 of their last 16 in Anaheim. Riding a four-game win streak overall, the Halos have won their last eight home series.
Weaver will take the mound against a dangerous Blue Jays offense that leads the Major Leagues with 114 homers. That Toronto offense will be wide-eyed facing Weaver, who's given up 16 home runs, tied for the fourth most in the American League.
In his last start, Weaver gave up five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings against the White Sox. Four of the five runs he allowed came from two home runs.
"I just left a couple pitches up, and those guys put it where they should," Weaver said.
Since June 6, the Angels lead the AL with a 20-8 record and have swept four of their last five home series, with the most recent coming in four consecutive wins against the Astros.
The Blue Jays are coming off of a four-game series sweep at the hands of the AL West-leading A's and will have J.A. Happ on the mound facing Weaver. Since giving up seven earned runs to the Reds on June 21, Happ has allowed four runs in 14 2/3 innings in his two starts, including a 7 2/3-inning shutout performance against the White Sox.
While his 4-1 record may not reflect it, Happ has struggled on the road with a 5.14 ERA. Weaver has been dominant at home with a 5-3 record and a 2.75 ERA.
Angels: Salas activated; Roth optioned
The Angels activated reliever Fernando Salas from the disabled list and optioned Michael Roth to Double-A Arkansas on Sunday.
Salas, who was nursing right shoulder inflammation, was supposed to make another rehab appearance with Class A Advanced Inland Empire on Sunday but instead returns to the Angels. He made his first rehab appearance on Friday, throwing a scoreless inning and striking out one.
"If he needed it, then obviously, we would have had him go and use it," manager Mike Scioscia said. "But he felt good coming out of it and instead of, what we feel, might be wasting some of his pitches down there, he feels ready, we feel he's ready, and we have a need in our bullpen for what he brings."
Salas has a 2.96 ERA this season in 28 appearances, but none since June 14.
Roth, who was called up Saturday, earned the win in the Angels' 11-5 win by pitching two perfect innings of relief. It was the second straight season Roth earned the victory on the day he made his season debut.
Blue Jays: Reimold claimed
The Blue Jays claimed outfielder Nolan Reimold off waivers from the Orioles on Sunday morning.
Reimold began his big league career with quite a bit of hype, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy. The 30-year-old has been limited to 56 games since the start of 2012 and underwent a pair of consecutive season-ending neck surgeries that threatened his career.
Toronto has decided to take a chance on the corner outfielder because of his potential with the bat. Reimold has 41 homers and a .766 OPS in 936 at-bats in the Majors.
"He'll get a lot of playing time, see what he is," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "His big thing is staying healthy, he's had trouble doing that over his career. He'll get playing time."
Reimold has yet to be officially placed on the 25-man roster, but he is expected to join the club within the next couple of days. Outfielder Brad Glenn was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.
Worth noting
• Of the Angels' 51 victories, 25 have been comeback wins.
• With a win Monday, the Angels would have an all-time franchise record of 4272-4272-3. It would be the first time since 1961, when they were 1-1, that the Angels were at .500.

I want to be a teacher in Washington State. Where do I go to school and what do I study?
This depends on you.
Requirements can vary and at some point you will want to talk to an advisor, but here is some information that can help frame the conversation.
According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), teachers in public and private schools in Washington State are required to hold a teaching certificate. The certificate is an official document which attests to minimum prerequisites, which include the following:
You do not really have any choices around the age requirement and the "Character & Fitness" requirement. If you have questions about the "Moral Character & Fitness" requirement, you can talk to an advisor or to someone at the OSPI. The bachelor's degree and the preparation program requirements involve choices on your part.
The first major decision is what grade level you want to teach. People who teach young children (e.g. Kindergarten through 6th grade) are usually responsible for teaching all subjects. Therefore, your undergraduate program would require academic breadth, but almost any major is acceptable, including an education major.
People who teach older students (e.g. junior high and high school), typically teach only one subject, such as history or math. Therefore, your undergraduate program would consist of acquiring expert level knowledge by majoring in the field in which you plan to teach. If you are interested in teaching more than one subject, you can take extra classes in college to gain expertise in more than one field. If your undergraduate degree did not include a major in education, then you must still attend a teacher preparation program to get a teaching certificate.
The required teacher preparation program can stand alone as a post baccalaureate program, it can be part of a Master in Teaching (MIT) degree program, or it can be part of a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree program. The UW Bothell's K-8 Teacher Certification program is an example of the stand alone program and the Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. program is an example of the M.Ed. program.
Teacher certificate programs in Washington State vary by what grades and subject areas they specialize in. For example, UW Bothell's post baccalaureate K-8 Teacher Certification program is for Elementary Education. When people graduate from this program, they are authorized to teach children from Kindergarten to 8th grade in all of the standard subject areas. The Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. is for Secondary Education in the subjects of Biology, English/Language Arts, History, Mathematics, and Social Studies. When people graduate from this program, they are authorized to teach in one of these subject areas at the high school or middle school level.
To help you decide what you want to focus on and what college to attend, OSPI maintains a couple of lists of colleges in the region that offer teacher certificate programs. One list is sorted by subject area and the other list is sorted by college. If you know what you want to teach, you can see what schools you can attend in Washington State. If you know what college you want to attend, you can see what areas you can focus on for a teacher certificate.
"Endorsements" are the official way that Washington state keeps track of what you are authorized to teach. For example, if you graduate from the UW Bothell's K8 Teacher Certification program you will have a teacher certificate with an "Elementary Education" endorsement. A graduate from the Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. program will have a teacher certificate with an endorsement in Biology, English/Language Arts, History, Mathematics, Social Studies, or some combination of these.
Typically your endorsement is based on what teacher certificate program you attended, but there are alternative paths to endorsements. Also, you can have more than one endorsement on your certificate, and there are "primary" and "supporting" endorsements that depend on the number of required college credit hours. Endorsements can get complex. For more information, talk to an advisor and/or check out the OSPI endorsement question page.
Because Washington State regulates what is required in a teacher certificate program for a particular grade range and subject area, all approved programs focus on the same knowledge and skills. However, each university program has its own distinctive features. There are also some differences in how universities schedule their classes. For example, The Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. program is a two year program that starts with part-time evening coursework and ends with full-time coursework and student teaching. What choice you make in this regard is dependent on individual circumstances. Teacher requirements can change, so be sure to talk with an advisor before making major decisions. This can save you a lot of time and effort in the long run.
Members complete four consecutive quarters of coursework beginning with spring quarter and attend the University full-time beginning summer quarter.
A post baccalaureate program includes only the work required to get a teacher's certificate in Washington state. An MIT program includes additional credit/work that allows you to receive a teacher's certificate along with a Master's degree and is a practice-based Master's degree. Post baccalaureate programs are usually offered at undergraduate tuition rates; MIT, MA or M.Ed. programs charge graduate tuition rates.
At UW Bothell, as of autumn quarter 2013, the tuition cost of the Five Quarter Program is approximately $18,600, not including books and miscellaneous fees.
Please check the University of Washington Tuition and Fees web site for the most current tuition information.
Current application deadlines are posted here and plan to attend an Information Session to obtain an application packet.
Yes, an application can be rolled over into the next application pool. But first meet with the program advisor and see what needs to be strengthened.
Applicant pools may differ. Unsuccessful applicants are therefore strongly advised to revise their application materials and to submit additional evidence of their qualifications if they choose to reapply to the program.
For application advising and information on the Education Minor, contact: Education Program Office firstname.lastname@example.com top
Like a Master in Teaching (MIT) program, candidates in the Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. will obtain teacher certification for middle school and high school as well as a master's degree. The Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. is a rigorous research-based academic program that challenges you to think deeply about yourself as an educator and a learner.
In our M.Ed. program, you will be encouraged to think about the complex nature of education, to explore questions central to your professional growth, and to develop sustained, collegial relationships with peers from across the region.
No, this program combines the Secondary Teacher Certification with the Master of Education degree. There is no stand-alone option for earning a Secondary Teacher Certification at UW Bothell.
We do not have a pathway for earning additional endorsements for currently certified teachers at this time. If you are already a certified teacher and you want to earn just your Master of Education degree, please explore the UW Bothell Master of Education program.
The Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. starts a new cohort each Autumn quarter. The application deadline is in early April for the following autumn quarter.
This program takes two years to complete. It is a "lock-step" program which means that the courses must be taken in the order offered and you progress from one quarter to the next.
You take classes two nights week during the first three quarters of the program (Autumn, Winter, and Spring). During the fourth quarter (Summer) you begin courses and fieldwork during the day, five days a week. This schedule continues during Autumn and Winter of your second year.
Upon the successful completion of Winter quarter, you will be recommended for your teacher certification and would be able to teach in the public schools. Spring quarter you complete your culminating project for the Master of Education degree which concludes the program.
The UW Bothell Education Program is approved to offer endorsements in:
No, you do not need to have an undergraduate degree in the subject area you want to teach. You do need to show that you have completed a sufficient amount of college level coursework in your endorsement area.
For each endorsement area, there is a Transcript Review form that lists the subjects you must have covered in your college level coursework. Please go to the Application Checklist web page for the Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. to see the Transcript Review forms for each endorsement area.
Any college level coursework can be used towards your endorsement requirements. That includes 100 and 200 level work completed at a community college and classes taken via online or distance learning programs. All classes must be listed on an official college transcript.
The UW Bothell Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. program has been designed to be taken as a series of courses in sequence. You cannot substitute courses from another teacher preparation program in place of required courses in this program.
You are required to take at least 3 credits of elective coursework in the Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. program. If you were a matriculated graduate student in another program, a maximum of 10 credits of graduate course work may be considered for transfer into the program in place of these elective courses (based on the provisions and regulations of the Graduate School). A minimum grade of 3.0 is required for each course.
A maximum of six credits at the graduate level may be considered for transfer into the program if you were not a matriculated graduate student. A minimum grade of 3.0 is required for each course.
Endorsement coursework can be completed at any accredited college or university, in or out of state. Most requirements may be fulfilled with courses at the 100 or 200 level and many can be found at local community colleges. Coursework may also be completed through online or distance learning courses. Explore several options for completing this coursework and choose the one that provides you with the best learning opportunity. Where can I find endorsement-related courses? All endorsement-related coursework must be taken at a regionally accredited college/university. Here is a list of nearby colleges/universities with links to their quarterly time schedules. UW Seattle Time Schedule UW Bothell Time Schedule Cascadia Community College Seattle Community Colleges (North Seattle, Seattle Central, and South Seattle campuses) Bellevue College Edmonds Community College Everett Community College Shoreline Community College The following website dedicated to all online courses offered through the Washington State Community College: Washington Community Colleges Online Can I find all of my endorsement coursework at the community college? Sometimes, depending on the classes being offered. Although you will find many endorsement courses at the community college, there are some endorsement requirements that can only be fulfilled at 4-year universities. Here are some examples of requirements that are easier to find at 4-year universities: • English Language Study • Historical Methodology and/or Research • Literary Theory and Criticism • Discrete Math • History/Foundations of Math • Geometry I can't find a course that specifically covers the area I am missing. How do I fulfill this requirement? Often times, departments will offer a course with a broader title and catalog description that is taught with a more specific focus. For example, a course in literature, poetry, prose, etc. If the course emphasizes or focuses a significant amount of study on women writers, this can fulfill your Women Author's endorsement requirement. Please note, that the burden of proof is on you to provide documentation to support your claim. Examples of additional documentation include course syllabi or a letter from your course instructor outlining your areas of study. Can one course be applied toward two endorsement requirements? Yes. For example, we have approved Special Topic courses on Female African-American authors as fulfilling both the Women Writers and the Literature by Writers of Colors requirements. I completed an independent study that I think fulfilled a particular requirement. Will my independent study satisfy an endorsement requirement? Possibly. Fill out an Endorsement Prerequisite Petition Form with any supporting documentation and send to email@example.com. The more documentation you provide (i.e. course syllabi, detailed course description, letter of support from your faculty) the better your chances of having the petition approved.
At UW Bothell, as of 2007-2008, the tuition costs for both years of the Secondary Teacher Certification M.Ed. program is approximately $20,000, not including books and miscellaneous fees.
Tuition rates are subject to change and you should check the most recent tuition rates at Tuition & Fees on the UW Bothell web site.
No. The Master of Education program does NOT result in a teacher's certificate. A Master in Teaching (MIT) program is primarily a teacher certification program with extra credits that result in a masters degree that is officially recognized by school districts for salary purposes. The Master of Education is a full master's program which focuses on a deeper understanding of the complex nature of education.
The Master of Education program gives you the opportunity to deeply explore the topic of education. This program is aimed at classroom teachers and people working in the field of education who already have experience and want to further their knowledge.
Getting an Education Minor can help you decide whether you want to pursue teaching as a career. You will have an opportunity to explore current issues and challenges in the field of education. Many of the Education Minor courses include opportunities to volunteer in community schools. This experience can be used towards your "work with youth" application requirement for the teacher certification programs.
In addition, 16 of the 25 credits can be applied to your K-8 Teacher Certification program which will shorten your time in getting a K-8 teacher certificate.
Yes. The program is designed for full-time teachers. The ideal candidate is a current K-12 teacher with 5 or more years of teaching experience and has either formal or informal experience in instructional leadership and support.
Candidates are registered for a total of 4 quarters. About 80% of our students complete the program within 2 academic years.
In year 1, candidates will only register autumn quarter, for 2-12 credits, depending on transfer/waiver credits. Winter and spring quarter candidates will focus on supporting instructional leadership and will not need to register for classes because they will be completing a 400 hour internship.
In year 2, candidates are enrolled full-time in autumn and winter quarters, and part-time in spring quarter. Candidates are required to complete a 2nd internship (minimum of 400 hours).
Sample program structure
The number of credits candidates can earn throughout the program will range anywhere from between 30-40 credits, depending on how many credits are transferred or waived.
Students may transfer up to 6 credits toward their first quarter registration. These credits must be graded and cannot have been used previously toward another degree. Please provide the LEDE program advisor with one set of official transcripts from the university where you earned these credits.
The LEDE program faculty may award up to 4 waiver credits from previous experience. The faculty will base their decision on the information you provide on your supplemental application. When filling out the supplemental application, error on the side of providing too much information.
Like waiver credits, the LEDE program faculty may waive up to 200 of the 400 hours required for your Part 1 Internship. The waiver of internship credits will be based on your previous experience, provided on the supplemental application form.
Students are not eligible to have any hours waived for their Part 2 Internship. The Part 2 Internship requires a minimum of 400 hours.
All seminars are held at the UW Bothell campus and meet approximately one Saturday a month. In Part 1, candidates will meet 6 times. In Part 2, candidates will meet 10 times. Seminars are held at the UW Bothell campus and begin at 8:30am and end at 4:30pm.
We admit students every spring and autumn quarter.
We are unable to uncouple the principal certification with the Master's degree requirements. About 60% of our LEDE candidates already have a Master's degree and will earn a second Master's degree.
The Part 1 Internship (focusing on instructional leadership and support) is embedded in your current job. The Part 2 Internship (focusing on traditional principal internship responsibilities) can be completed in your own school or in a different school and/or district. Note, some districts have an internal intern selection process and you must be chosen by your district. Candidates are encouraged to do complete their Part 2 Internship in a different school from where they work.
The overall cost of the program ranges from $14-17k, depending on waiver/transfer credits. For more information about the transfer/waiver process, please contact the LEDE graduate program advisor.

- Rubina Peroomian explores sexual violence during the Armenian Genocide
Rubina Peroomian explores sexual violence during the Armenian Genocide
By Paul Chaderjian
Sherman Oaks, Calif. - Rubina Peroomian, Ph.D., spoke recently at the Merdinian School in Sherman Oaks about her latest book, And Those Who Continued Living in Turkey after 1915.
At the conclusion of the event, which was hosted by the ARPA Institute, the Armenian Reporter asked Dr. Peroomian to expound on the topic of psychological and sexual warfare waged against Armenians during the Genocide of 1915 - a subject that the author has investigated extensively in her new study.
Armenian Reporter: How common were acts of psychological and sexual violence committed by the perpetrators during the Genocide?
Rubina Peroomian: Sexual violence in its broad sense and in all its forms, as defined in a recent report to the UN Commission on Human Rights, was a common practice of the Turkish perpetrators during persecutions and incarcerations of men, and deportations of the remaining men, women, and children.
Torture of men involving their sex organs was quite prevalent. The Turks cut off their victims' genitals, made them march naked, or circumcised Armenian men they had forcibly converted to Islam.
Sexual violence as a form of psychological torture was also committed by making Armenian men the helpless witnesses to the rape of their mothers, sisters, wives, or daughters. Of course, the perpetrators did this instinctively, taking pleasure in their "supremacy" over the Armenians and thus proving the "lowliness" of the Armenians, who, in the circumstances, were unable to defend their women. The psychological effect on the victims was that of demasculinization and dehumanization, which the survivors had to live with for the rest of their lives.
AR: Given the humiliating and horrific nature of these crimes, would you say that many survivors found it impossible to talk about them afterwards?
RP: Survivors of armed conflict or ethnic cleansing talking openly about their victimization by rape and other sexual violations is a recent phenomenon - seen especially since the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides. Even Holocaust scholars are only beginning to discover the sexual aspect of Jewish victimization during World War II, when, for instance, Jews were forced into sexual slavery in concentration camps.
In the Armenian case, that aspect, particularly sexual violence against men, was not reported adequately. Shame, guilt, fear, and the urge to defend their masculinity prevented male survivors from speaking out. Eyewitness accounts and memoirs touched upon the subject with passing remarks. Henry Morgenthau [the U.S. ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in 1913-16] describes the Turks as masters in devising new methods of torture, but he is discreet about the details. He writes: "I have by no means told the most terrible details, for a complete narration of the sadistic orgies of which these Armenian men and women were the victims can never be printed in an American publication" [cited in And Those Who Continued Living in Turkey after 1915, page 99].
AR: What else can be done to uncover these crimes?
RP: It is already too late to talk to survivors and try to bring to light the kinds of experiences they avoided discussing during interviews by researchers. They took the secret to their graves. We need to read and reread the memoirs, the eyewitness accounts, the existing literature, and these are many.
Fortunately, there is a growing interest in this specific aspect of the Armenian Genocide, and today's scholarship is discovering new details that expand our understanding of the Catastrophe. One example of such research is an article by Danish historian Matthias Bjornlund, titled "A Fate Worse than Dying: Sexual Violence during the Armenian Genocide," which was recently published in Genocide Studies and Prevention.
AR: You also spoke about Armenian women who were tattooed or branded like cattle by those who took them as their sexual slaves.
RP: The practice of tattooing women was most prevalent among Bedouin tribes, where thousands of Armenian women were taken in, rescued, bought, or kidnapped. The women were immediately converted to Islam and tattooed to mark them as property. I chose the picture of a tattooed Armenian woman for the cover of my book for a visual emphasis on the suffering of Armenian women during and after the Genocide.
The photo encapsulated my understanding of the lasting trauma that can be described as "When Death Is a Blessing and Life a Prolonged Agony." This is the title of a gender-specific research paper that I presented in 2000, comparing the responses of women victims of the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. [This article was published later in Genocide Perspectives II: Essays on Holocaust and Genocide ed. Colin Tatz , Peter Arnold, and Sandra Tatz, Sydney, 2003.]
AR: You mentioned an Armenian physician who worked to remove the female survivors' tattoos and restore their hymens. Tell us about him and his work.
RP: The doctor's name was Khosrov Krikorian, and my source for this information is a posting on the Internet by Mr. Maurice Kelechian.
The posting detailed his research on a carpet that was woven by Armenian orphan girls in the Ghazir orphanage in Beirut and gifted to U.S. President Calvin Coolidge, in appreciation of Near East Relief's support of the Armenian orphans. Mr. Kelechian discovered a replica of this rug, which was once owned by Dr. Krikorian. The replica was found at the home of the doctor's grandson. This is where Mr. Kelechian was informed of Dr. Krikorian's visits to the Armenian orphanages in Beirut in the aftermath of the Genocide and the surgeries he performed to remove the tattoos of the girls as well as to restore their virginity. These were young Armenian girls who were taken into Muslim homes as wives or concubines. Many of them escaped and found their way into orphanages.
The management of these orphanages, which operated on shoestring budgets and in very poor conditions, tried to marry the girls off to Armenian Genocide survivors. Most of these men, however, resented the tattooed women, knowing that they had been literally used in Muslim homes. With Dr. Krikorian's help, the girls were able to get a fresh start. Apparently, Dr. Krikorian has written an account of his experiences in the desert and the thousands of Armenian women in the Bedouin camps.
AR: Based on the memoirs and literature you researched while writing your book, did you detect a pattern of psychological trauma being passed down from the survivors of the Genocide to their children, who may or may not have been aware of their parents' true identity or survival stories? How were these traumas acted out among second- or third-generation survivors?
RP: Experiences vary, depending on the survivors' circumstances - i.e., on whether they remained Christians, were converted to Islam, or pretended to be Muslims but secretly practiced Christianity (the hidden Armenians).
Most of the Islamicized Armenian survivors, men or women, did not share their experiences of the Genocide with their offspring, out of fear or shame. Some did not even reveal that they were Armenian. Their stories and their identity are lost, and we can never be able to trace them.
There are others who trusted their stories to a member of the family. In some cases, that revelation devastated the trusted one; in others, it has become the beginning of a long journey of discovering the obscure story of their Armenian roots and thus their true identity. In many instances, the children or grandchildren of these survivors have heard their parents speak of their traumatic experiences of the past, and they, too, have learned to navigate and survive in an atmosphere of constant harassment and persecution that was the lot of minorities in Turkey.
In the final analysis, given the range of survivors' processes of living or coming to terms with the memory of the Genocide, it is hard to generalize as to the way that traumatic experiences and their unabated memory were transmitted to the next generation.
One should also take into consideration the children of those Armenian women who escaped their abductors and left their offspring behind. Imagine the psychological state of such children: they grew up hating or longing for their Armenian mothers, who for some reason had run away and left them orphans.

pics or it didnt happenmega seems like a cool dude to me people need to back off .. its not easy to keep up with orders always .. no one complains when supreme doesnt mail shit out even for a week either ... its easy to fall behind
wish i could get a pick my box for a $50 box LOL im broke but wanna get into a lil BS gear
"its easy to fall behind"
no wonder you're broke with that attitude
Definitely not one of the BS dick riders on the thread but I see both sides of the story. That being said, why the fuck are you always so bitter g? You take negativity to heights only know by astronauts! Man I'd love to smack the shit outta you!
youd love to but you never would
seems like you the one with the anger issues bruh
all i post is observable truth
seems like a lot of people brainwashed in here and its always good to have someone like me help see things for what they really are ya dig
i dont really see how im bitter and hating when ive probably spent more $ on bs than anyone in here in the last
couple months
nothing wrong with wanting to see something you support do better
First off real cute going to all the trouble of posting the little gifs. Real cute lil' homie. Second, you don't know me like that. I'm not with no Internet thuggin but I got stripes out here in the real world. I'd slap the shit out of you. Third, I highly doubt you've spent more money than me on Black Scale this year. I've easily dropped 3-4 g's and could post the pics to prove it. I to would like to see the brand I love improve in certain areas but unlike you I'm more constructive with my criticisms than your negative ass. You spend more time ripping the brand you "support" than actually "supporting" it. You got way too much time on your hands bruh bruh, find something to poke on insted of constantly posting your whiney ass comments

The new CBA stops teams over the lux tax from having as much room as as other teams. It's going to be much harder for those teams to sign guys because the teams under the lux tax can offer like double of what teams like Miami can.
Plus, with Miami it wasn't those veterans on minimum contracts that won them the title, it was those veterans on solid deals that did. Something Brooklyn won't be able to do. Mike Miller at 6M, Udonis Haslem at 4.1M, Joel Anthony at 3.8M, Shane Battier at 3.1M, etc.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Rumors are surfacing of a CP3/Dwight Howard/Josh Smith in Atlanta thing next offseason.
Dear Clipper fans, have fun worrying about where or if CP3 will sign with you guys all season long and listening to trade rumors....
I'm going to be honest, I don't think it all happens, BUT it's possible. I wouldnt be surprised if they send Wallace over. I'd be less surprised if he goes elsewhere. I saw Simmons say something like "I'm stunned Orlando isnt crazy about crazy about trading the league's third best player for 3 non all stars and 3 crappy picks". LOL
From Clipper Forums...lmao, they get to live what we lived with for 2 seasons...
If CP3 is truly committed to us like BG has recently shown by agreeing to sign his contract. How hard is it for CP3 to make a public statement just like Tim Duncan did and Kevin Durant did? Why doesnt CP3 just come out and make a public statement that he inteneds to sign the contract next year and doesnt plan on going anywhere else. He can add a simple statement that says as long as the Clippers continue to do there part to bring the Players and Staff to help me bring a titile or championship to the Clippers I wont leave.
Until CP3 has shown that he is committed to us like Tim Duncan has done with the spurs. Instead of leaving us wondering if he will resign. I think we should all entertain the idea Trading Him!Look I think that CP3 owes it to Clipper fans to be honest regarding his future. A simple statement to the Media would do wonders. So I am building Public Awareness. I dont want CP3 to use us just like he used the Hornets and bailed. He askes to come to the Clippers and now he should be honest with his fans. Especially after rumors are circulating that he is planning to goto the Knicks in NY. A simple statement would avould the Drama and give Clipper fans a true Feeling of what will happen after the coming season. I think that CP3 owes it tous to be honest. Thats it!
Ugh...so much grammar and spelling errors from Clippers' fans...head hurt...lol. I do love the whole "He owes us" idea. He's only been there for a year, how much can he really owe them
But seriously, I can't imagine that they haven't at least talked about an extension with CP. Has anyone heard about a Clippers extension, because I don't recall reading about one
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
Sides so far apart on cntract, meeting yesterday ended w/ thanks and good luck kind of exchange. Still, Dragic hasn't gotten that deal yetLook like he's really set on getting paid 10mil a year from somebody. Think the Rockets offered 8mil a yr.@Jonathan_Feigen
As @ESPNSteinLine mentioned last night, little chance of Dragic return to Rockets. Source: "Goran's not coming back. Just not happening."

Clippers offered the 3 year extension and he declined. Waiting for the longer (5 year) one.
He might have to realize he might not get 10 from anyone else if the Rockets who need him won't give him that.....but then again....there's always someone stupid enough to do it in the NBA. LOL. I will say I would rather pay him than Batum....thats just me tho. I think people are reeeeaaallly sleeping on what Aminu and Miller can do....
Anybody that pays Dragic 10mill/yr need to be fired before the ink on that contract is dry.
I bet he does get a 10 million deal from someone. I wouldn't do more than 7 or 8.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
They'd probably be fired anyway for their team sucking. NBA coaches/management get fired pretty quickly when their teams are doing poorly... it's part of the reason they go overboard with spending. I guess at the least they figure they have one more year of job security.
"The Nets and the Magic are discussing a trade that would send Howard to the Nets for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks and the Nets' first-round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017, sources said. Lopez and Humphries, who are both free agents, would go to Orlando in sign-and-trade deals."
The Nets are back on trying to get Dwight
EDIT: Just thought of something...so that means Orlando would have to work out deals for both Humphries AND Lopez in order to help the Nets with this trade. They could just take a better price somewhere else.

Since the Nets are using the non-taxpayer mid-level, their payroll cannot exceed $74M under new rules.
Not so sure about that statement. A dominant center will always be seen in greater light than a valuable point guard. But Paul's efficency numbers always soar over Howards. Debating on building a team around either is debatable. Paul is also considered one of the best point guards to play the game. He's almost a clone of Isaiah Thomas.

Lets hope they add scanner support to their Linux drivers like Epson, H.P., and Canon have done.
Phoronix: Lexmark's Linux Secret
Most of the time at Phoronix we focus on looking at the Linux graphics performance of the software drivers and hardware, since traditionally that has been one of the most troubling areas of Linux hardware support. Tides though have turned as AMD continues to back their own open-source strategy with providing documentation and pushing out code that enables open-source hardware support from 3D acceleration to power management, while Intel continues to back their fully open-source model too. Another area of hardware support that has caused much grief for users has been with printer support. Printers are not nearly as complex as a modern-day graphics processor, but the different vendors have not been quick to offer up any Linux support -- and binary-only drivers frequently back the ones that do. There is one printer manufacturer though that as of last year has begun supporting Linux from top to bottom with their entire line-up of printers. Not only are they providing CUPS drivers, but also they are even printing Tux in the corner of every box they ship right besides the Windows and Apple logos. Do you know who we are talking about? Probably not, but it's Lexmark. After months of wrangling within the company, Lexmark has stepped up to become a Linux and open-source friendly company. We are seeing how far this Linux support extends as we try out the Lexmark Pro905 Platinum multi-function printer.
Lets hope they add scanner support to their Linux drivers like Epson, H.P., and Canon have done.
Its great to see companies finally starting to really support Linux. Last time I bought a printer I went with HP because of their great Linux support in HPLIP. It seems next time I get a printer I might have a little more choice.
i was wondering whether it's still 1apr in your time zone for a while when looking at this article
this is pretty surprising.
The test should cover the USB printing, too.
And more printers should be tested (especialy those cheap/cheapest inkjet Lexmark printers).
I've got many Lexmark laser ethernet printers from few years and those work out of the box on many Linux distributions on default PostScript drivers but up to now I've been getting off from any Lexmark inkjet printers because of lack of Linux support.
Samsung also offers great linux support. They even have a linux gui installation app on their driver cd. Though I think they are proprietary, but I don't know for sure.
Well they work as a charm at least.
Do they support the yellow microscopic dots as well?
Great, Lexmark gives you a multifunction printer and then you can only print. I use a Brother multifunction and i can print, scan and even send faxes from my Ubuntu or Mandriva.
You can find the drivers below and the drivers work on 32-bit and 64-bit
I have not used all that many wireless all-in-one printer/scanner combos, but all the ones I have used don't actually allow you to scan from the PC side when in wireless/ethernet mode either in Windows, Linux, etc. No scanner is detected (which would explain your XSane woes), and therefore no direct driver support. In my experience that is normal. If the printer had been hooked up via USB, I think you would have been able to use the scanner as you expected to.
I have a Lexmark X4650 here and it has the same behavior, except what is REALLY nice is that when I set up the scan at the local device it allows me to choose what computer on the network by hostname I want the scan to be sent to and also picks up a list of compatible applications on that host and asks what application format (PDF, DOC, etc) I would like the scan to saved to! I get back to my desk and it is open and running in the application. Slick!

The Complete Peanuts 1989-1990 (Vol. 20) by Charles M. Schulz - Video/Photo Slideshow Preview | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under video, previews, Peanuts, new releases, Charles M Schulz | 20 Sep 2013 3:11 PM |
The Complete Peanuts 1989-1990 (Vol. 20)
by Charles M. Schulz
344-page black & white 8.5" x 7" hardcover • $29.99
Ships in: September 2013 (subject to change) — Pre-Order Now
This 20th volume is particularly dense with romantic intrigue, as Marcie and Charlie Brown end up at camp together, sending Peppermint Patty into mad jealousy (especially since Marcie can't resist teasing her)... and an old friend of Charlie Brown's attempts to look him up again but confuses him with Snoopy and goes on a date with him instead.
But the most crucial event in romance is Charlie Brown's romance with Peggy Jean — even though he's so flustered in his first conversation with her that he ends up stuck with the name "Brownie Charles" for the duration of her relationship ("I kind of like it...").
This volume also introduces yet another Snoopy sibling, Olaf, who is humiliatingly invited to enter an ugly-dog contest (and, even more humiliatingly, wins). Plus lots of Zen-like Spike-and-cactus strips, Sally Brown non sequiturs, D-minuses for Peppermint Patty, and wise thoughts from Franklin's grandpa... Snoopy treks through the wilderness as the Beagle Scoutmaster and through the desert as the World Famous Sergeant of the Foreign Legion, Woodstock takes a whack at being the King of the Jungle, Lucy enjoys Michael Jackson on her boom box, Marcie's perfectionism leads to a crack-up, Pigpen runs for class president, Snoopy gets called to jury duty... and for a change, Lucy pulls the football out from under Charlie Brown.
