Prepare for teaching in a general education, special education, or inclusive classroom setting.
This Master of Education (M.Ed.) program combines an elementary education foundation with coursework in moderate disabilities, and gives you a competitive edge with two classroom licenses—Elementary 1-6 and Teacher of Students with Moderate Disabilities PreK–8. Coursework covers elementary content areas, classroom management, special education, development of Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs), and assessment. Two practicum experiences round out the program, allowing you to apply your new knowledge to elementary and moderate disabilities classrooms.
This course examines speech and language acquisition and development from birth through adolescence, addressing typical and atypical language development as well as first and second language acquisition. Focus is on the neurological basis of communication, developmental milestones, verbal and non-verbal communication, and language diversity as differentiated from disorder. Connections between culture and communication, socialization language delays, and communication disorders will be studied. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and assistive technology (AT) are described and modeled throughout the course.

He brings dangers from all sides without and withinwhile tempting her beyond her wildest dreams . . .

My computer has fallen asleep and it won't wake up!
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 2/18/11 1:18 PM
My computer has fallen asleep and it won't wake up!
I have a perplexing situation with my three-year-old Toshiba laptop. If I resume working after allowing the computer to hibernate, a bit after that (maybe 10 minutes) the screen goes blank--no mouse--no background. Hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not bring up the Task Manager. Nothing I do seems to work except physically shutting the on/off switch, waiting a bit, and rebooting. I get a message upon reboot that the machine was not shut down properly. The machine has an AMD 64 X2 Athlon processor 1.7Gb. I have 2 GB of RAM installed and Windows 7 Home premium. The drivers seem to be all up to date. I have an active antivirus/firewall running.
What would cause such a problem? Any suggestions in solving the issue? This is driving me nuts. If I don't allow the computer to hibernate, I can run it all day without any problems. Thank you in advance.

Comments about Insta Grip:
At first I was ready to send this product back as it didn't stick to the back of the rugs. However, once applied between the rug and the floor and pressure was applied by stepping on the rug against the wood floor, the grip took hold and the rugs have stayed in place.

Have you ever wondered why the walls in a great concert hall are shaped the way they are? The reason is the sound from the performance reflects off these acoustically designed surfaces and is deepened, enriched, and warmed. We were inspired by this same concept when we designed Reflective Acoustics drivers in our new ZR-SIX Ear buds.
Reflective Acoustics formulate sound based on the fundamentals of human hearing. These high quality drivers reflect the sound off of a micro-acoustic panel, magnifying the sound waves. Sound is delivered to the listener with accurate tonal balance, even dispersion, natural clarity, and a rich dynamic range. The bottom line is these are the best sounding ear buds we have ever listened to. ZR-SIX ear buds will be available on ZAGG.com later this year.

Part of Fiat's success in this segment is affordable prices coming from North American manufacturing (assembly Mexico, some powertrain components USA depending on model). Unless they started assembling the Adam some place that isn't Germany, it would be too pricey to mimic Fiat's US success.
This is a bona fide MINI sized car though, so it would be neat to see them offer it. They've already sort-of got a Countryman competitor coming in the form of the Encore.

Dallas Theater Center's 2015-2016 subscription season includes the hit Broadway musical Dreamgirls; Shakespeare's classic, Romeo and Juliet; All the Way, the Tony Award®-winning Best Play about President Lyndon Baines Johnson, produced in collaboration with Houston's Alley Theatre; and a toe-tapping, hootin' hollerin' good time with the world premiere of a new musical comedy, MOONSHINE: That Hee Haw Musical written by two of country music's brightest stars, Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark. We've also got an explosive production of the Broadway drama, The Mountaintop, in the Wyly's Studio Theatre; a world premiere new play by MacArthur Foundation Fellow playwright Sam Hunter, Clarkston; and a brand new play about immigration, Deferred Action, which is the culmination of DTC's collaboration with Cara Mia Theatre Co.

A co-production with
Alley Theatre
Winner of the 2014 Tony Award®, this suspenseful Texas-sized new play about one of the most powerful Texans, takes us from the earliest moments of Lyndon B. Johnson's accidental presidency to his hard-won landslide election one year later. The resident acting companies of Dallas Theater Center and Houston's Tony Award®-winning Alley Theatre join together to create this monumental play, which will be performed in both cities. Robert Schenkkan's masterful script paints a gripping portrayal of LBJ, civil rights hero, ruthless bully, and perhaps one of our greatest legislative presidents. With a title harkening back to the slogan for his 1964 campaign, All the Way is a searing and enthralling dramatization that explores political gridlock, strong-arm manipulation, and the morality of politics and power. Contains adult language.

Hilarious and downright irreverent, MOONSHINE: That Hee Haw Musical distills the spirit of an iconic television series and bottles it into an original musical comedy! Set in present-day Kornfield Kounty, this highly anticipated show introduces a new generation of irresistible characters as it tells the story of Misty Mae, the ultimate hometown girl who heads out to follow her dreams in the big city… of Tampa. When she returns home to introduce her slick city-boy beau to her friends and family, everything goes haywire! Featuring an original score by 2014 CMA winners and Grammy® nominees Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally (two of country music's hottest singer/songwriters), a book by Robert Horn, direction by Gary Griffin, choreography by Denis Jones and orchestrations by Tony® and Grammy® Award winner Stephen Oremus, MOONSHINE: That Hee Haw Musical gets the Broadway treatment when it has its eagerly awaited World Premiere this fall at DTC.

Wyly Theatre • Studio Theatre
What thoughts and emotions were pulsing through Martin Luther King, Jr.'s mind and heart on his last night on Earth? Set in Memphis' Lorraine motel just hours before the civil-rights leader was assassinated, The Mountaintop presents King as a very human man, stripped of the mountains of mythology now woven into his remembrance. This recent Broadway hit and the 2010 winner of Britain's Olivier Award for Best New Play will bring every audience member within feet of the actors in an intensely intimate Studio Theatre production. Crackling with metaphysical magical realism, The Mountaintop throws lightning bolts of insight upon our societal strengths and frailties and our own personal accomplishments and failings as, with Dr. King, we ponder the cost of what we contribute and the legacy of what we leave behind.
|by Samuel D. Hunter
Wyly Theatre • Studio Theatre
Meet Jake, a descendant of the explorer William Clark, who has recently been diagnosed with Huntington's disease; and Chris, who is searching for a way to use his degree in Post-Colonial Gender Studies to make a discernible contribution to society. Against the backdrop of an increasingly corporatized and dehumanized American West, these two young men attempt to join together to forge ahead into an uncertain future. Leavened with humor and compassion, Clarkston juxtaposes day-to-day existence with historical allusions and larger themes of faith and doubt.
Written by 2014 MacArthur Foundation Fellow Samuel D. Hunter, one of the most provocative new voices in American theater, Clarkston continues DTC's commitment to bringing the nation's most exciting writers to Dallas.

A co-production with
Cara Mía Theatre Co.
The world premiere of DTC's collaboration with Cara Mía Theatre Co., Deferred Action focuses on Javier Mejía, one of the immigrants known as Dreamers who arrived in the USA as an undocumented minor. Now, after years in the States, he finds himself caught in the tangle of existing immigration laws, new presidential policies and the harsh reality of living in the shadows. Javier hopes that temporary administrative mechanisms like Deferred Action will be the answer to his dilemma. But will hope be snatched away? Can politicians who say they are the Dreamers' friends be trusted? Deferred Action follows the lives, loopholes, and dangers of those who dare to dream.

9 Businesses You Can Start In Your Pajamas in 2010
Internet Marketing –– Jason Sadler, IWearYourShirt.comFranchising –– David and Stuart Pikoff, Games2UOnline Advice –– Amanda Steinberg, DailyWorthInsurance –– Chris Jordan, Atlanta Insurance LivePersonal Fitness –– Franklin Antoian, IBodyFit.comSpecialty Travel –– Deborah Mayer, Shop Around ToursGovernment Contracting –– Jim Anderson, LeadDog Consulting Children's Wholesale and Retail –– Michelle Tunno Buelow, Bella TunnoOnline Content Aggregation –– Michael Sitarzewski, Callisto.fm
So you've got a ton of friends on Facebook and a loyal Twitter following. Why not profit off them? Jason Sadler has found a way to capitalize on all the hype surrounding social media marketing. Three-hundred sixty-five days a year, Sadler serves as a live billboard for companies and charities on all the major social media sites. Sadler, who launched IWearYourShirt.com at the end of 2008, wears a shirt a day, and sells each calendar day according to its numerical value. On January 10, for example, a company would pay Sadler $10 to wear its shirt. He works from his home in Jacksonville, Florida, and leverages his social media following by blogging, tweeting, filming a live video show, and updating his Facebook photo, all while wearing the designated T-shirt of the day. And, yes, he will still wear your shirt to a wedding, or even if he's sick in bed. Now that the idea has taken off, Sadler has hired a West Coast counterpart -- with a whole new following -- to expand the company's marketing reach.
Franchises are becoming an increasingly popular and easy way for anyone to start their own business from home, thanks to entrepreneurs like David and Stuart Pikoff. The brothers left their corporate jobs with the intent to get into the franchise space, but after researching different options, none appealed to their offbeat personalities. So they ventured out on their own. In October 2007, they launched Games2U -- a mobile entertainment center complete with video gaming stations and big screen TVs -- after concluding that there wasn't much new in the kids entertainment space. The brothers sell the completely self-contained vehicles to franchisees, who then rent them out for birthday parties, community events, and the like. Games2U, which began franchising in early 2008, now has 97 franchises in 23 states, and Joel Kocher, a former president at Dell, has signed on to help the Pikoffs with their 2010 high-growth expansion plan.
In the past decade, the Web has become the go-to place for consumers to seek out advice and scope out the newest trends and deals. Sites like DailyCandy and Thrillist have been successful at monetizing this online community by publishing daily e-mail newsletters packed with exclusive information for subscribers. After operating Soapbxx, a Web consultancy, for 10 years (the past four of which have been home-based), Amanda Steinberg launched a second business from home last January to provide personal financial advice to women. Building off of the DailyCandy model, Steinberg's DailyWorth publishes daily e-mail newsletters with tips and advice from financial experts, including MP Dunleavey, a former finance columnist for The New York Times. With 9,000 subscribers and counting, Steinberg simultaneously runs her start-up and Soapbxx from her home in Mount Airy, Pennsylvania, while playing mom to two young kids.
Insurance may not be the most exciting field, but opportunities abound for businesses owners willing to break away from the traditional corporate model and add their own spin. That's exactly what Chris Jordan did last March when he left his corporate insurance sales job and founded Atlanta Insurance Live, a home-based sole proprietorship that is built on the premise of interacting with clients virtually. Jordan maintains a video blog about insurance issues and chats live with customers through his website. He employs a casual style and remains transparent about his home-based status -- as a new way to market his business and dispel the stigma of stuffy insurance agents in suits and ties, in order to attract a younger demographic. So far, it seems to be working, with a steadily growing customer base.
As a personal trainer who held private sessions in people's homes for many years, Franklin Antoian discovered a growing trend of people who didn't want to trek to the gym. In 2006, he launched IBodyFit.com, a site that allows anyone to get the complete personal training experience online. Through the website, members get individualized attention from a personal trainer and have the ability to access online fitness classes and exercise videos. Trainers create customized workouts for clients and are fully available to them via phone, e-mail, and IM. Members can work out on their own time at home, or download their custom workouts to their iPod at a cost much lower than the average gym membership, which is an increasingly expendable luxury in a down economy. In 2009 alone, Antonian, who is based in Del Rey Beach, Florida, signed up 2,000 new members.
There are always good deals to be had in the travel industry, if you know where to look. After spending several years working for travel companies putting together itineraries for group tours, Deborah Mayer had an idea to structure a tour around outlet shopping in Italy. She had been watching the outlet scene grow there, and since many of the stores were off the beaten track, she knew it was the type of tour that would need a guide. In the spring of 2001, Mayer launched Shop Around Tours from her Manhattan apartment. Within the first few weeks of putting up her website, the first tour was sold out. Mayer now runs three to four shopping tours around Italy per year and continues to grow her business primarily through word of mouth. Her business grew dramatically after a mention in O, The Oprah Magazine in 2006, and with a niche focused on discount shopping, she's managed to fill all her tours, even during the recession.
Just because you work from home doesn't mean you can't sell to the world's biggest customer -- Uncle Sam. Jim Anderson has digitally mapped over 100 countries from his home office nestled in the hills of Anchorage, Alaska, which he describes as the crossroads of the grizzly and black bear populations. Founded in 2000, Anderson's company, LeadDog Consulting, has carved a niche in the mapping industry by documenting roads and major points of interest in developing countries, where major infrastructure knowledge is lacking. The company got attention for its extensive mapping efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, making it one of the only providers of those materials to the U.S. government and military. After the start of the Iraq war, NBC News commissioned LeadDog to produce a map of Basra that the network could display as part of their broadcasts. In addition to the government, LeadDog works with GPS tracking companies to develop maps, as well as private companies on projects like location scouting.
After having her first baby in 2004, Michelle Tunno Buelow started making clothing and other baby items that fit her funky style. Friends started taking notice, and before long, she was selling her custom-designed line called Bella Tunno in local markets in Charlotte, N.C. Soon after, she received an order from a store in Beverly Hills where celebrity moms like Nicole Kidman shopped. The owner was putting together swag for new moms at the Golden Globes, and asked Tunno Buelow if she would like to donate one of her products. Once the brand name was out there and attracted a celebrity following, Tunno Buelow started receiving calls from major retailers like Gap and Nordstrom. Today, the Bella Tunno brand is sold in over 4,000 stores worldwide and includes practical yet trendy "necessories" such as laminated bibs and smocks. Tunno Buelow, who founded the company in her late brother's memory, also donates a portion of every sale to drug- and alcohol-related charities.
With so much content consumed on the Web these days, the door has opened for entrepreneurs who have found ways to not only catalogue some it, but to make it easier for users to consume the information. While plenty of sites existed for streaming TV shows, Michael Sitarzewski realized that there wasn't anything comparable for listening to podcasts. So in 2008, at a podcaster conference, he pitched his idea for a site that would stream podcasts and organize all the content by channels, giving visitors a place to consume podcasts all in one place. Immediately, he had interest from developers, and within months, Callisto.fm was launched. The site now has 4,500 shows listed and operates primarily through ad revenue. Sitarzewski, who works from home and in places all over his hometown of Boulder, also runs Hypersites, another company he founded in 2001 that serves as a website development application for designers.

Gallery: New Coffee Table Book Reveals New York City's Most Stunning & ...
In New York City, private outdoor space is a coveted amenity. We drool over sky high gardens and turn green with envy when we see a gorgeous leafy terrace. But such elaborate green spaces are rarely seen by everyday New Yorkers. But thanks to LeFrak's high-end client list and Amon's connections (she is active on the committees of the Guggenheim Museum and MoMA), we've received an invitation to these secluded oases. They did not divulge which gardens belong to whom, but the did reveal that makeup mogul Evelyn Lauder, fashion designer Lisa Perry, and the former home of Oona Chaplin all made the cut.
Published by Rizzoli New York, the book features dozens of different garden styles. They jaw-dropping spaces range from English cottage gardens and sculpture terraces to Japanese rock gardens and flowering woven arches. The Japanese garden is by far of our favorites. The lush greenery, bamboo structures, and trickling water completely transform the space into a serene escape that looks like it could be nestled in the mountains. Another favorite is the grassy roof with a gorgeous stone tower that over looks Central Park.
The gardening ideas are endless. Planting different sized greenery in pots is perfect for balconies or terraces, and the book reveals that trees can thrive in pots, a bonus considering the shade they provide. But even without trees, shade can be achieved. Beautiful wooden pergolas are the perfect structures for sky high gardens because you can plant vines like grapes or wisteria that will grow over the arch and create a natural shaded space. Taller structures and potted trees also act as fences to create privacy. Bamboo is another great natural fence since it grows tall and fast. It's obvious that many of the garden also fill their planters with herbs like rosemary and lavender. Perhaps basil coriander are not as aesthetically pleasing, but they are practical and tasty.
The beautiful designs were created by some of the leading landscape architects and designers. Adele Mitchell, Ken Smith Architects, Greensleeves Gardens, the Brooklyn-based Studio Gerard, Gresham Lang Gardens, Paula Hayes, Miguel Pons Landscaping, LLC, and more.
When it comes to real estate and architecture, New Yorkers tend to have vouyeuristic tendencies. We want to see inside the newest green apartment building, and we want the know which Fifth Avenue mansion has the wildest interior designs. With tens of thousands of buildings in this great city, how can you blame us? For green design lovers and architecture oglers, Rooftop Gardens is a book that can't be missed.

Deregulation is about the same as letting your dog out of their crate after you have been gone a few hours. They run all over the place like mad fools until they get tired out and settle down. Sometimes they get overexcited and smack into walls or furniture when they do it. Despite the potential for damage, I don't think anyone is arguing that it is better for the dog to live in there.
Same thing goes for an industry that was smacking up against regulations for 50 years. They've gotten so good at smacking up against the rules which artificially held them back that as soon as they are freed from it, they go ape shit.
There are two reasons deregulation has become a problem:
1) One side thinks that rapid, unplanned deregulation is the solution to all possible problems, when in fact, it is quite likely to cause short term disaster before things get better. And the faster the deregulation, the worse the disaster.
2) Our reaction to problems caused by deregulation is to reward them by bailing them out, and then return them to the cage. This will fail because eventually the regulations will be relaxed again and no one will have learned their lesson. In the meantime, efficiency suffers under the regulatory scheme.
Now, there needs to be some regulation to prevent fraud and predatory practices. However, there are entire divisions of people who are devoted to complying with regulations and interacting with an overgrown, self-perpetuating bureaucracy. That same bureaucracy has become large enough, and powerful enough on it's own that it is virtually the fourth branch of government, completely unelected and impossible to move even with concerted effort.

No it is like deciding whether your dog should live in a cage, your house, your property, or the neighborhood.. Sure a cage is bad. However few would argue that letting your dog crap in your neighbor's lawn is good for the community. Thus regulation is a matter of degree. You chose an analogy that highlights over regulation. My 'crapping on the neighbor' analogy highlights the danger of under regulation. Don't let tailored analogies restrict your thinking on the utility and limits of regulation.
Well, I was more expressing my opinion via an analogy than letting it form my thinking. I was more illustrating another situation where sudden bad behavior after deregulation does not imply constant misbehavior forever more.
Now, of course, you have a point about regulation and over-regulation, and the gradient of the change is probably more telling. If you go from a lot of regulation to a lot less, then you will have bigger outbursts. That doesn't mean that you can't find a way to live with the new situation, and you certainly have a happier dog.
Any regulation will have a confining effect, and if you have a growing dog, just like we want to have a growing economy, a nice fenced in yard that worked for your puppy isn't going to work for your dog. However, you do probably want your dog to eventually grow up, just like you want a growing economy.
Why on earth do you think the banks were regulated in the first place? The 1933 Banking Act, aka Glass-Stegall, which separated retail banking and merchant banking, was introduced to stop the banks from runnig amok. What happened when that act was repealed? The banks ran amok again.
You know, you seem to be under the impression that recorded history began when you were born. The fact is it goes back considerably earlier. Where Regulation exists, it exists for a purpose, unrelated to your birth.

Advantages: The two main parties have to cater to the center mass of people rather than subscribe to fringe viewpoints as if they go too far, the otherside will always win. There is less factionalism, or at least less factions to deal with. Theoretically, the winner does so with a majority and therefore some sort of mandate which gains acceptance and provides for a more stable government.
What you call an advantage is what I'd call the system's biggest disadvantage. The whole political spectrum is compressed down to a one-dimensional line and the only voters they fight for are the narrow section in the center, most "mainstream" democrats and republicans aren't relevant because they'll never switch sides and voting for anyone else or not voting only weakens "their" side. They can grumble and moan but you know in the end they'll tow the party line because it's better than the other guy winning. And there's no cooperation between the sides unless they're both looking to screw you.
In our system there's currently seven parties in parliament, two left, three center (left/right-leaning perhaps) and two right and for the most part they do find a majority after the election, like currently both left parties and one center party is in a coalition, it's not really more fancy than each senator wanting their pork. And it obviously matters if the voting distribution is 5% vs 30 % or 15% vs 20%, so each vote matters as you shift from "light red" to "dark red" even though it'll probably still be a red government and the same for blue. That means you have to work for all your voters, because otherwise they're fleeing in all directions.
The other big point is cooperation, with smaller parties you don't need to have the leftmost liberal Democrat working with the rightmost tea party Republican. Very often you can find a majority center-left, center-right or moderate left-moderate right, the US system is extremely adversarial. Anything one side comes up with, the other side must absolutely hate and totally try to sabotage in every way possible, even by cheap techniques like filibustering. And why not? They don't ever need to cooperate neither now nor later, no reason not to burn bridges. And if you ever get control over both the House and Senate, ram 'em good.

But should a large cumbersome federal govt be making those decisions or should good neighbors handle these decisions on their own? Conservatives don't want less rules in general, they just want to change where the rules are made and enforced. You don't call the FBI when a neighbors dog is in your yard, you call the neighbor, if it continues you call the local dog catcher, then maybe the local sheriff. If my neighbors dog is just "visiting" my dog I may not care, but if there is a federal law against dogs leaving their own yard, a passerby could call the law and royally piss of both of us. Local almost always works better, with the exception of monetary policy, defense, and international commerce/trade, but even these do not need overarching and cumbersome regulation.
This is a completely illogical analogy. You can't compare the richest people in the world (who have the freedom to do much more than we could in 50 lifetimes because of it) with some dog that's been locked in a cage.
And you're basing your reasons on absolutely no scientific data, with the assumption that the downsides of deregulation are somehow only "temporary," with no explanation as to how it would only be temporary. And if that's the case, why has Monsanto gotten away with terrorizing smaller farmers for decades? Why do oil companies continue to cause natural disasters like the Gulf and Alaska spills (and those are just in the US) or Shell's constant leaks on the west coast of Africa?
And what makes you think efficiency "suffers" because of regulation? Regulation is one of the things that keeps monopolies from forming, and last I checked, monopolies aren't good in terms of efficiency. Regulation is also the reason banks can't charge you astronomically high interest rates on simple loans, and can instead only charge you outrageously high interest rates, which is also an improvement in terms of efficiency. Regulation also INDIRECTLY helps with efficiency by, say, not letting companies dump chemical byproducts close to water supplies and poisoning every other company's employees.
Why does
That's right, the correct answer is Johnson. Honestly, it is baffling to me to grasp why Romney is actually still getting votes when Johnson is clearly the better conservative candidate.
Yeah, he supports a number of things that old-world conservatives don't support (ie gay marriage), but if you're still floating around this planet in this day and age and you are genuinely against gay marriage, you might as well give up.. you've lost this battle.
It's pretty clear to me that Romney doesn't stand a chance in hell at winning this. Johnson has so much greater appeal to more people (once they actually hear his platform), it seems to me the Republicans are intentionally throwing this election.
The only people I know personally who have mentioned their support of Romney are doing so simply because it is an anti-Obama vote. Not one of them can speak about the man and his graceful oration abilities, or his distinct knack for tact. I'm not hearing anyone say "I am voting for Romney because he's going to make my life better", all I hear is "Obama has put this country on the road to bankruptcy, we need to get rid of him".
D and R are so incredibly polarized these days that it makes it nigh impossible to have a civil discussion about politics. This is exactly how each party likes it. They love this polarization, because it help keep either of the two in power. So long as half of us can hate the other half in unison, we will continue to support the group who is "Anti-Those-Guys".
As long as the goal is to simply cause the other team to lose, we will not have any candidates prepared to lead us and make us winners. We will be mired in argument, insulting threats, silly cartoons, and obnoxious Fecebook pictures.
which side supports balancing the budget during their term?
Which side supports auditing the Fed?
Neither. Why?
Which side supports repealing the NDAA?
Obama. He was forced to sign it by a veto-proof majority.
Which side supports repealing the PATRIOT Act?
Which side will bring troops home?
Obama is already in process of doing it.
Which side won't start a war with Iran?
Probably Obama. Romney probably isn't really interested in war, as well.
Which side will cut unnecessary spending from the government?
Obama has already shrunk the size of government (at state level, in particular).
Which side will stop the war on drugs?
Which side will support gay marriage?

If Glass-Stegall was never passed, these banks would have dabbled in bad behavior when they were much SMALLER and less likely to tank the entire US economy. By 2007 they would have been far wiser than they were when the shit hit the fan.
The biggest problem is not the deregulated banks, but the bailouts that kept bad banks in business. There were plenty of banks that didn't need a bailout. Instead of thinning the herd, and allowing the bad banks to fail and declare bankruptcy, we bailed them out with taxpayer dollars, and set them up to fail again, because no one learned their damn lesson. We had a great opportunity to get rid of all the bad banks, and instead we saved them, so they can tank the economy in the future.

While I agree that they don't "speak to ones individuality" since by their nature votes aren't public knowledge (however if you shout from the hills who you voted for... then it speaks to your individuality, but the action of voting itself does not), I disagree that it's not "[making] a statement". If a third party gets a significant amount of the popular vote it does make a statement. What happens afterwards is another question. In 1992 Independent Candidate Ross Perot was included in the Presidential Debates and ended up taking 18.9% of the popular vote Nationwide (though still failing to win any actual electoral votes). The result of this was a rule change by the Commission on Presidential Debates to effectively exclude 3rd Party Candidates from all future debates (remember the Commission isa non-profit run by the DNC and the RNC and is not actually a Government run organization). Sounds more like the Major Parties were running scared; if Perot could win nearly 19% of the popular vote then a Third Party or Independent could potentially start winning electoral votes or maybe even an election after a few election cycles, so they had to fix things in their favor before it all got out of hand.

I don't have time for a longer reply, but for what it's worth, the way Ron Paul and his supporters are treated within the Republican party disgusts me. Still, I admire Paul for sticking it out and trying to change the party from within. The second he leaves the party, he loses any political clout he ever would hope to enjoy. My sincere hope is that at some point, the Libertarians and Ron Paul supporters, who I believe to be extremely similar politically, can get together and suppress all of the religious nutcases who have stolen the party. Because if that doesn't happen, I honestly think that sometime within the next 20-30 years, the Republican party will effectively be dead except in local elections. As a Democrat that doesn't bother me too much, but as an American, I don't like the idea of one party having unfettered control over the system.

The Maryland Theatre is a magnificent structure built in 1915. During 1974, the Theatre was partially destroyed by a large fire. After immediate reconstruction, it reopened in 1978. The marvelous acoustics are only surpassed by the wonderful ambiance of the Theatre. Set in Downtown Hagerstown, The Maryland Theatre offers something for everyone, seating 1300 people comfortably.
Over 90,000 patrons, including more than 26,000 students, have attended performances over the years.
The Maryland Theatre has seen many wonderful events throughout its history. It has housed comedian George Carlin, teen idol Aaron Carter, as well as presenting Moscow Ballet's the Great Russian Nutcracker, and jazz and ballet assembles from area dance studios and much more. Children's shows, solo artists, stage shows, and orchestra productions frequently occur throughout the year.

Doug Ramsay / For the Herald
Aquarian Tabernacle Church members Gina Cagle (center) and Russ Maughan (right), both of Seattle, have a conversation prior to church service Nov. 17.
He wanted to create a community of people seeking to strengthen their spiritual connection with the Earth. In 1979, he bought some property near the small town of Index in the Cascades and founded the Aquarian Tabernacle Church, the only organized Wiccan church in Snohomish County.
"It's a lot easier to be a nature worshipper out here than it is at Third and Pike," said the Rev. Davis, 75.
"I had wanted to establish a place that the pagan and Wiccan people in the greater Seattle area could go for worship without having the neighbors get excited because they had candles or were wearing robes or were chanting in the backyard."
The church, named for the age of Aquarius, draws people from all over the state and sometimes beyond. Davis also has made a mark by lending the church's name to nearly 50 other Wiccan groups around the world.
Modern-day Wicca was founded by Gerald Gardner in England in the 1940s. It's an amalgam of gods and practices from indigenous cultures in different parts of the world, primarily Celtic but also Greek and others. There are several variations.
"When people ask me what the basic belief system is, I explain to them it's essentially the European equivalent of Native American," Davis said. "It's based on the belief system of the indigenous people of northern Europe before the Roman conquest, which of course brought with it Christianity."
The Index church property has shrines to Pan, the hooved Greek god of the wild, and Hecate, an ancient goddess of the Earth, sea and sky. There's also a small stone circle.
The church usually meets on the Saturdays closest to the new and full moons, and the solstices, equinoxes, and mid-season holidays of Samhain (fall), Imbolc (winter), Beltaine (spring) and Lughnasadh (summer).
"There are many smaller Wiccan groups but they like to come (to the Index church) on major holidays and celebrate together," Davis said. "We consider anybody who comes here more than two or three times to be a church member."
Usually, anywhere from 10 to 50 people will show up for a service, he said. For many of the holidays, the church holds large gatherings at state parks that sometimes draw more than 200 worshippers.
Many different types of ceremonies are held.
"Basically, we start out by consecrating the spot, by calling the quarters (directions) and casting a circle," Davis said.
One ceremony is a recreation of a parade to the sea that's part of the Greek mysteries.
"We go down to the water's edge and priestesses throw flowers in the water," he said. "The Greeks' custom was to sacrifice a piglet in order to purify themselves. So we make little pig-shaped cookies out of flour and salt and throw them in the water."
That's as close as Wiccans come to a sacrifice, Davis said.
Wicca has sometimes been confused with Satan worship. Some horned gods are honored in Wicca, including Pan and Cernunnos, a Celtic stag-like deity. People who associate Wicca with Satanism are often mixing up their horned gods, said Robert Anderson, who runs Edge of the Circle Books in Seattle. The store has Wiccans among its customers.
"With the idea of a horned god, immediately people think of Satanism," he said. "Since the (Wiccan) theology is not part of the Christian belief system, there's no devil to worship in Wicca."
Wiccans are mentioned by some in the same breath with the term "witch." It's a loaded word, Davis said.
"I think the word has always used at the point of a finger and it's always been a pejorative," he said.
Davis said Wiccans have a simple moral code: "Do as you will, but harm no one, and that includes not harming yourself."
Davis has played a large part in growing Wicca and legitimizing it in the faith community.
He lent the name "Aquarian Tabernacle" to Wiccans in other parts of the country to help them attain tax-exempt church status. The same has been done for groups in other countries including Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa, Davis said.
In the early 1990s, Davis represented Wicca on the Interfaith Council of Washington in Seattle (now called the Interfaith Network). At the Index church hangs a photo of several Seattle-area religious leaders, including Davis, meeting with the Dalai Lama at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle in 1993.
"Pete has been the mastermind behind being able to work with the existing system," Anderson said.
At the interfaith council, Davis said, "I explained what Wicca was and explained that basically we're all trying to do the same thing and it doesn't matter a whole lot to whomever our maker may happen to be how we do it. The fact that we do it is important.
"This religion is as boring as anybody's," he said. "What we teach people is if this part of religious philosophy works for you, that's great, and if there are pieces of some other philosophy, be it Buddhist or Native American or Zoroastrian or whatever, if that works for you, feel free.
"If that helps you get through the rough spots in life, then that's great."

New contracts set EPA's roadmap toward IT centralization
Thursday - 11/29/2012, 6:37pm EST
The Environmental Protection Agency isn't paying lip service to the Obama administration's mandate to change and improve the way it buys commodity technology.
The EPA is revamping its entire approach to commodity IT acquisition, starting with IT hardware and email.
Malcolm Jackson, EPA's assistant administrator for Office Environmental Information and chief information officer, said the agency awarded two contracts in the last six months to begin the procurement shift.
"We have awarded our new hardware contract where in the past we have 10 regional offices and these 10 regional offices negotiated their own hardware contracts," he said. "Today, we have one enterprise or agencywide hardware contract that takes into account all 10 of our regions as well as our headquarters and our laboratories. It's one blanket contract that they all can buy in. It gives us the same level of services and offers one approach to technology across the agency."
On top of that contract, EPA also hired Lockheed Martin to move about 18,000 employees to Microsoft's email and collaboration tools in the cloud. Under the $9.8 million deal, Lockheed will move EPA from Lotus Notes to Microsoft's email-as-a-service platform, and in the process centralize email and collaboration tools.
"Our biggest lift we have at the agency right now is our move to collaboration and email. Over the next, three to four months, we will be doing the heavy lift of moving from our current email system to Microsoft 365 in the cloud," Jackson said. "Four months or so after awarding the contract, we are going live. Live with email, calendaring, contacts as well as the full suite of collaboration tools, video conferencing and document sharing, just a whole host of new capabilities that I believe will be transformational for this agency."
Jackson said both of these new contracts will help EPA buy more efficiently and thus save money.
He said for both procurements, his office took a collaborative approach so the regions wouldn't be surprised by the centralization of IT.
"They knew we were moving in that direction. As an agency, we have been talking about a one EPA approach toward any initiative that we have. This started with the administrator, down to the deputy administrator and across all assistant administrators. So it was no surprise from that perspective," Jackson said. "What we did to help effect the successfulness of this was we reached out to have collaboration with all of our region representatives to help us form what the package would look like and to make sure they had input, transparency and visibility into it so they had a sense of where we were going relative to the contract going out on the street."
He added the regions will not all move to the new contracts all at once. Each of the offices will begin using the contract when their existing deals expire.
Jackson said the hardware contract is one of many opportunities to centralize commodity IT buying across EPA.
"I think there are a number of opportunities there that we can take a hard look at," he said. "We signed a cloud computing contract, which offers cloud services to various offices within our agency. What we are looking to do there was, we wanted to negotiate the contract one time, with one vendor, who would offer the services to anyone who wanted to buy into the contract. So cloud computing is one component of it."
He said another area is shared services from within EPA, but also outside of it.
Jackson said EPA already is moving its human resources system to the Interior Department's National Business Center.
He said EPA and NBC have worked out a schedule to complete the migration by 2015.
"It takes into account payroll, time and attendance and it has links back to our finance organization," he said. "There are two large organizations that fall underneath it. It's our HR organization as well as our finance organization."
To ensure the success of the move, Jackson said he has created a project management office to manage multiple HR projects
"This is our first PMO we've created at least within my office. It's been very successful up to this point," he said. "We look at this as a pilot, one from which we want to learn from and possibly extend as we move forward with IT investments over time."
Along with back office systems, Jackson said EPA is looking at which mission critical applications could move to the cloud. The Central Data Exchange program is a likely candidate.
