Ringling College of Art and Design: Principles for Professional Practice
Career services and employment professionals are involved in an important process—helping students choose and attain personally rewarding careers, and helping employers develop effective college relations programs which contribute to effective candidate selections for their organizations. The impact of this process upon individuals and organizations requires commitment by practitioners to principles for professional practice.
Career services and employment professionals are involved in this process in a partnership effort with a common goal of achieving the best match between the individual student and the employing organization. This partnership effort traditionally involves students, but may also involve alumni, community members, prospective students, and/or faculty staff.
The Center for Career Services reserves the right, as a private college, to review and adjudicate if the listings submitted through our web portal database meet the institutions' criteria for art and design, age, and educational-appropriate content. Employers' requesting access to our resources who do not meet our institutional standards cannot post their listings on our web site.
Art and Design = postings that embody the creative and inventive use of art and design techniques, materials, and knowledge of traditional media relative to professional standards.
Age = postings that reflect the developmental context of the late adolescent through young adult learner.
Educational = postings that reflect the educational mission of the college; the learning context and curriculum focus of our majors; and the effort to situate those majors in appropriate art and design contexts, products, and services in an ethical and legal manner.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), as the national professional association to facilitate the employment of the college educated, is also concerned with this process. The concern led NACE to the development and adoption of the Principles for Professional Practice. The principles presented here are designed to provide practitioners with three basic precepts for career planning and recruitment:
· Maintain an open and free selection of employment opportunities in an atmosphere conducive to objective thought, where job candidates can choose optimum long-term uses of their talents that are consistent with personal objectives and all relevant facts;
· Maintain a recruitment process that is fair and equitable to candidates and employing organizations;
· Support informed and responsible decision making by candidates.
Adherence to the guidelines will support the collaborative effort of career services and employment professionals while reducing the potential for abuses. The guidelines also apply to new technology or third-party recruiting relationships which may be substituted for the traditional personal interaction among career services professionals, employer professionals, and students.
These principles are not all-inclusive; they are intended to serve as a framework within which the career planning and recruitment processes should function, and as a foundation upon which professionalism can be promoted.
As part of NACE's commitment to provide leadership in the ethics area and to facilitate the ongoing dialogue on ethics-related issues, the NACE Principles for Professional Practice Committee was established. The committee, made up of career counseling and employer practitioners, will provide advisory opinions to college and employer members on the application of the Principles, act as an informational clearinghouse for various ethical issues, periodically review and recommend changes to this document, and resolve problems which may arise.
It is important to keep in mind one final point. The Principles do not address certain professional obligations to support state and regional associations, professional development programs, salary surveys, and other demographic trend surveys. Obligations such as these are recognized as vital to the continuing growth of our profession, but since they do not relate directly to the recruitment process, they are not addressed specifically in this document. However, the National Association of Colleges and Employers Board of Directors strongly encourages career services and employment professionals to support and participate in these activities.
Finally: The Center for Career Services at Ringling College of Art and Design is in compliance with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and expects recruiters and employers to similarly honor the professional standards of this and other associations.
Principles for Career Service Professionals
1. Career services professionals, without imposing personal values or biases, will assist individuals in developing a career plan or making a career decision.
2. Career services professionals will know the career services field and the educational institution and students they represent, and will have appropriate counseling skills.
3. Career services professionals will provide students with information on a range of career opportunities and types of employing organizations. They will inform students of the means and resources to gain access to information which may influence their decisions about an employing organization. Career services professionals will also provide employing organizations with accurate information about the educational institution and its students and about the recruitment policies of the career services office.
4. Career services professionals will provide comparable services to all employers, regardless of whether the employers contribute services, gifts, or financial support to the educational institution or office and regardless of the level of such support.
5. Career services professionals will establish reasonable and fair guidelines for access to services by employers. When guidelines permit access to organizations recruiting on behalf of an employer and to international employers, the following principles will apply:
a) Organizations providing recruiting services for a fee may be asked to inform career services of the specific employer they represent and the specific jobs for which they are recruiting. When deemed necessary, career services can request contact information to verify that the organization is recruiting for a bona fide job opportunity. Career services must respect the confidentiality of this information and may not publish it in any manner. Third-party recruiters that charge fees to students will not be permitted access to career services;
b) Employers recruiting for work outside of the United States are expected to adhere to the equal employment opportunity (EEO) policy and U.S. labor law policies of the career services office. They will advise the career services office and the students of the realities of working in that country and of any cultural and employment law differences.
6. Career services professionals will maintain EEO compliance and follow affirmative action principles in career services activities in a manner that includes the following:
a) Referring all interested students for employment opportunities without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability, and providing reasonable accommodations upon request;
b) Notifying employing organizations of any selection procedures that appear to have an adverse impact based upon the student's race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, military service, veteran status, or disability;
c) Assisting recruiters in accessing certain groups on campus to provide a more inclusive applicant pool;
d) Informing all students about employment opportunities, with particular emphasis on those employment opportunities in occupational areas where certain groups of students are underrepresented;
e) Developing awareness of, and sensitivity to, cultural differences and the diversity of students, and providing responsive services;
f) Responding to complaints of EEO noncompliance, working to resolve such complaints with the recruiter or employing organization, and, if necessary, consulting with the appropriate campus department.
7. Any disclosure of student information outside of the educational institution will be with prior consent of the student unless health and/or safety considerations necessitate the dissemination of such information. Career services professionals will exercise sound judgment and fairness in maintaining the confidentiality of student information, regardless of the source, including written records, reports, and computer data bases.
8. Only qualified personnel will evaluate or interpret assessments of a career exploration nature. Students will be informed of the availability of assessments, the purpose of such assessments, and the disclosure policies regarding assessment results.
9. If the charging of fees for career services becomes necessary, such fees will be appropriate to the budgetary needs of the office and will not hinder student or employer access to services. Career services professionals are encouraged to counsel student and university organizations engaged in recruitment activities to follow this principle.
10. Career services professionals will advise students about their obligations in the recruitment process and establish mechanisms to encourage their compliance. Students' obligations include providing truthful and accurate information; adhering to recruiting schedules; accepting an offer of employment in good faith; notifying employers on a timely basis of an acceptance or nonacceptance and withdrawing from the recruiting process after accepting an offer of employment; interviewing only with employers for whom students are interested in working and whose qualifications requirements they meet; and requesting reimbursement of only reasonable and legitimate expenses incurred in the recruitment process.
11. Career services professionals will provide services to international students consistent with U.S. immigration laws; inform those students about these laws; represent the reality of the available job market in the United States; encourage pursuit of only those employment opportunities in the United States that meet the individual's work authorization; and encourage pursuit of eligible international employment opportunities.
12. Career services professionals will also promote and encourage acceptance of these principles throughout their educational institution, particularly with faculty and staff who work directly with employers, and will respond to reports of noncompliance.
Principles for Employment Professionals
1. Employment professionals will refrain from any practice that improperly influences and affects job acceptances. Such practices may include undue time pressure for acceptance of employment offers and encouragement of revocation of another employment offer. Employment professionals will strive to communicate decisions to candidates within the agreed-upon time frame.
2. Employment professionals will have knowledge of the recruitment and career development field as well as the industry and the employing organization that they represent, and work within a framework of professionally accepted recruiting, interviewing, and selection techniques.
3. Employment professionals will provide accurate information on their organization and employment opportunities. Employing organizations are responsible for information supplied and commitments made by their representatives. If conditions change and require the employing organization to revoke its commitment, the employing organization will pursue a course of action for the affected candidate that is fair and equitable.
4. Neither employment professionals nor their organizations will expect, or seek to extract, special favors or treatment which would influence the recruitment process as a result of support, or the level of support, to the educational institution or career services office in the form of contributed services, gifts, or other financial support.
5. Serving alcohol should not be part of the recruitment process on or off campus. This includes receptions, dinners, company tours, etc.
6. Employment professionals will maintain equal employment opportunity (EEO) compliance and follow affirmative action principles in recruiting activities in a manner that includes the following:
a) Recruiting, interviewing, and hiring individuals without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability, and providing reasonable accommodations upon request;
b) Reviewing selection criteria for adverse impact based upon the student's race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability;
c) Avoiding questions that are considered unacceptable by EEO guidelines for fair employment practices during the recruiting process;
d) Developing a sensitivity to, and awareness of, cultural differences and the diversity of the work force;
e) Informing campus constituencies of special activities that have been developed to achieve the employer's affirmative action goals;
f) Investigating complaints forwarded by the career services office regarding EEO noncompliance and seeking resolution of such complaints.
7. Employment professionals will maintain the confidentiality of student information, regardless of the source, including personal knowledge, written records/reports, and computer databases. There will be no disclosure of student information to another organization without the prior written consent of the student, unless necessitated by health and/or safety considerations.
8. Those engaged in administering, evaluating, and interpreting assessment tools, employment screening tests, and technology used in selection will be trained and qualified to do so. Employment professionals must advise the career services office of any test/assessment conducted on campus and eliminate such a test/assessment if it violates campus policies or fair employment practices. Employment professionals must advise students in a timely fashion of the type and purpose of any test that students will be required to take as part of the recruitment process and to whom the results will be disclosed. All tests/assessments will be reviewed by the employing organization for disparate impact and job-relatedness.
9. When using organizations that provide recruiting services for a fee, employment professionals will respond to inquiries by the career services office regarding this relationship and the positions the organization was contracted to fill. This principle applies equally to any other form of recruiting that is used as a substitute for the traditional employer/student interaction. These principles apply to organizations providing such services.
10. When employment professionals conduct recruitment activities through student associations or academic departments, such activities will be conducted in accordance with the policies of the career services office.
11. Employment professionals will cooperate with the policies and procedures of the career services office, including certification of EEO compliance as well as compliance with all federal and state employment regulations.
12. Employment professionals will honor scheduling arrangements and recruitment commitments.
13. Employment professionals recruiting for international operations will do so according to EEO and U.S. labor law standards. Employment professionals will advise the career services office and students of the realities of working in the foreign country and of any cultural or employment law differences.
14. Employment professionals will educate and encourage acceptance of these principles throughout their employing institution and by third parties representing their employing organization on campus, and will respond to reports of noncompliance.
Principles for Third-Party Recruiters
Preface: The NACE Principles provides definitions and guidelines for third parties and contractual/staffing services. It is our hope that career services will use this information to make appropriate decisions about the use of third-party, contractual, and staffing services in their operations, including career fairs. These standards are also designed to provide guidance to third-party recruiters who recruit college graduates through the college recruitment process. These standards are not to be construed as requiring or encouraging, or prohibiting or discouraging, use of third-party recruiters by college or employer professionals.
1. Third-party recruiters are agencies, organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time, or full-time employment opportunities other than for their own needs. This includes entities that refer or recruit for profit or not for profit, and it includes agencies that collect student information to be disclosed to employers for purposes of recruitment and employment. Third-party recruiting organizations charge fees to employers or clients for services.
2. Third-party recruiters will follow the principles as defined above for Employers. Third-party recruiters will be versed in the recruitment field and work within a framework of professionally accepted recruiting, interviewing, and selection techniques.
3. Third-party recruiters will follow EEO standards in recruiting activities.
4. Career centers may choose to advise students to approach with caution third-party recruiters who charge a fee. Members are encouraged to make available to students the NACE publication, "A Student's Guide to Interviewing With Third-Party Recruiters."
5. Third-party recruiters will disclose to students the name(s) of the client, or clients, that the third-party recruiter is representing and to whom the students' credentials will be disclosed. When deemed necessary, third-party recruiters will disclose information upon request to career services that would enable career services to verify that it is recruiting for a bona fide job opportunity. Information should include contact information for the organization for which the third party is providing recruiting services. Career services must respect the confidentiality of this information and may not publish it in any manner.
6. Third-party recruiters will not disclose to any employer, including the client-employer, any student information without obtaining prior written consent from the student. Under no circumstances can student information be disclosed for other than the original recruiting purposes nor can it be sold or provided to other entities. Online job posting and resume referral services must prominently display their privacy policies on their web sites, specifying who will have access to student information.
7. Third-party recruiters attending career fairs will represent employers who have authorized them and will disclose to career services the names of the represented employers.
In addition to the NACE Principles for Professional Practice above, Ringling College of Art & Design's Career Services upholds the mission that CCS acts as catalysts for students and alumni in realizing the full potential of their art and design education. To that end, CCS attempts to provide a variety of services to students and alumni.
The Center for Career Services provides core resources and opportunities for students and alumni that begin addressing the internship, summer job, entry-level and advanced employment needs of Ringling College students and graduates:
** Assistance with job, internship, and related career hunting strategy review.
** Confidential counseling on a variety of career, job, and graduate school issues.
** Career testing for a diagnostic evaluation of possible job and career ideas.
** Resume, cover letter, and related document evaluations and critiques.
** Portfolio reviews and job search strategies.
** Advice on applying to graduate and professional school and programs.
** Financial aid recommendations through foundations and other funding sources.
** College Central Network database job, internship, freelance and art contest listings.
** Free portfolio web site hosting through College Central.
** Phone or in-person consultations with counselors.
** Access to web-based tutorials on resumes, cover letters, graduate school, interviewing and a
variety of other critical career topics.
** Cutting-edge technology – that searches 7 million job boards and web sites.
** Web database directories – Career Search – that accounts for national and international
** On-campus recruiting.
** Information on networking with alumni and access strategies.
Regarding job postings on College Central Network, Ringling College of Art & Design or its affiliates is not responsible in any way for listings' contents. Students/alumni are responsible for their contracts/working relationships with listing parties and must be aware of all applicable law (i.e. intellectual property) regarding listed positions.
Outside work cannot be done in the labs at Ringling School of Art & Design as it breaks educational software licensing agreements.
The success of Ringling College is embodied in the success of its students and graduates. The CCS works with students/alumni to help them realize their personal and professional potential.
However, the CCS can only guarantee access, not success: the variables of motivation, persistence, qualifications and competition in the global economy are unpredictable and uncertain.
For Employment Professionals:
The Center for Career Services offers organizations a wide range of connection points and opportunities to access the talent pool of Ringling College of Art and Design. Below is an overview of services to employers. Note that many employers use multiple services to ensure that the best possible candidate pool is developed for all parties' mutual satisfaction. There is also a more comprehensive brochure available to employers.
Position listing service: This no-cost option provides a direct link for finding Ringling College student and alumni talent.
Locating candidates through our Web Site:
Once registered, employers can search students' and alumni resumes and portfolios to identify potential candidates through the CCN Network.
Material distribution:
Companies often provide a variety of flyers, brochures, posters and related recruiting and advertising materials for students.
Classroom critiques / work with faculty: To develop a presence on campus, some employers work with faculty to offer classroom critiques of students' work as they finalize their senior portfolios, reels, and presentations.
Campus presentations:
The Center for Career Services welcomes, coordinates and advertises organizations'
campus-wide presentations of recruiters with internships or full-time opportunities.
Portfolio reviews / interviewing:
In addition to a campus presentation, CCS will coordinate on-campus recruiting visit for companies with full-time or internship opportunities.
Campus visits for student shows:
At the end of the spring semester in late April or early May, every major at Ringling
College produces a final show for its seniors.
Specialized campus workshops:
If the academic schedule permits, CCS coordinates with academic department support, workshops and intensive technical training for some companies with such requests.
Center for Career Services policy regarding job offers made to students prior to graduation.
Students are not forced by employers into a time-limited decision by "exploding job offers" such as signing bonuses that evaporate after a set period of time.
Students are allowed reasonable time by employers to evaluate offers and competing, outstanding offers from other employers within the strictures of their senior academic semester.
Employers are not to pressure students unduly and, in return, students are encouraged to use professionalism and total discretion in evaluating, communicating and finally choosing and closing their options with all potential employers
The Center for Career Services will not adjudicate or recommend to students or employers on competing bids or candidates. In this policy we are in total compliance with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and expect recruiters and employers to similarly honor the professional standards of this and other associations.
Ringling College of Art and Design students serving as interns or other temporary positions shall not be deemed eligible for employment until they complete their course of study at Ringling College. We discourage companies from hiring students before they complete their course of study at Ringling College. If a particular company hires students before they have graduated (or completed their degree), the company may not be allowed to return to Ringling College campus and participate in future recruiting of students.
We highly encourage recruiting companies to do campus presentations in the fall semester and schedule the interviewing in the spring semester to accommodate students' final semester work.

As we age, we assimilate less and less B12, leaving us vulnerable to increasingly higher levels of homocysteine and leading to sustained inflammation, heart disease and all the diseases of aging.
My study has shown that above age 65 there is very little stomach intrinsic factor. This means that B12 by tablet is practically ineffective.
B12 is very important, so we have to get prescription B12 liquid and small diabetic needles and take injections. I do the injections myself and I give them to my wife.
Dr. Jonathan Wright wrote in his October 2010 Nutrition and Healing that he recommends lowering homocysteine levels with 1,000 micrograms (mcg) daily of folate (as methylfolate or folinic acid) with regular vitamins B6, 50 milligrams (mg) daily. He also recommended 1,000 mcg daily of B12 as methylcobalamin.
It's easy enough to get high potency folic acid, but it would take a lot of injections to come up to 1,000 mcg daily unless we can get a superior benefit from Solgar sublingual liquid B12 2,000 mcg. The label on the box says the liquid formula does not need to be broken down in the digestive tract.
This seems to bypass the need for intrinsic factor. If so, this would be great for much larger doses of B12 without injections.
Think what this would mean in terms of reducing homocysteines and deadly inflammation!

|In March, President Obama signed an executive order directing the government to change its policies regarding the funding of embryonic stem cell research. Under rules put in place by President Bush, federal funding for embryonic stem cell work was limited to research involving 23 stem cell lines that had already been created. A public comment period on rules implementing President Obama's revision to that policy is scheduled to close next week - but, according to attorney Patrick Taylor of Harvard Medical School, the proposed rules may not have the effect most people think. Due to new informed consent regulations in the rules that apply retroactively, Taylor argues, even work done using the currently approved 'Presidential Lines' could lose federal funding once the new rules go into effect. We'll talk with him about the issue.

Jessica Ridgeway: Local law enforcement reacts to murder, by Jefferson Dodge
Westminster Police Department has announced an arrest in the Oct. 5 abduction and murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway.
Police confirmed that their suspect lives near the girl's home. He is identified as Austin Sigg, 17. He lives only a few blocks from Ketner Lake and less than a mile from Jessica Ridgeway's home.
Read the press release below:
Thank god!
I had a feeling it was a student, in the lower age ranges rather than a FT working adult. In fact, I thought it might've been a H.S. student on their way to school in her own subdivision...well, close ! He's H.S. aged but evidently taking college courses...in mortuary science or criminal justice. Which makes sense with the clean-edged dismemberment, & the retention of some of the body parts while the rest were dumped in the open space. And the cross was like those I've seen the male surfers/beach types wear - like that particular open space her remains were located in, a place known for being a teen-college aged hang out over the years. Even if the mother hadn't come forward, I'll bet if they'd just gotten the registration records for the annual "Bolder Boulder" run, they'd eventually have found him.
Good to know he's in custody; good to know he's charged as an adult.
The sketch of the May abductor is a good likeness to him; wonder why his neighbors, the girls he sought out to play hide n seek with, & sought to come over their homes to "play" with, & said he kept to himself, seemed a bit "odd", didn't make the connection.
I hope the 8 yo boy attacked on May 10th in Ketner Lake trails, who was with his 13 yo sister & her 13 yo friend, are able to make a connection with him being the perp; it's just like Jessica's abduction just w/o the car - a lesson he learned from those previous unsuccessful abductions.
This had to be very difficult for the suspect's mother. She did the right thing. I congratulate her on doing the right thing, something other mothers of (alleged) murderers have been in a position to do, but did not do or did with only partial cooperation.
As a mother, it had to be heartbreaking, & the most painful, devastating, thing she's ever gone through, or been put through by her son. My prayers go out to her, as much as to Jessica's mom.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Engineers, inventors and industrial futurists in China are setting sights on a new technological frontier as three-dimensional printing slowly revolutionizes manufacturing.
A Beijing University research team, for example, has been working on what industry sources say is a breakthrough technology that uses 3D printing to produce large, complicated aircraft components.
The team led by materials science and engineering Professor Wang Huaming in January won a national award from the State Council for technological achievement.
The recognition for Wang's team and its work has encouraged companies in 3D printing-related businesses. Many have seen their stock prices surge to new highs in recent months.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.

Like a skilled sculptor, a 3D printing system can build through a materials-layering process a fully-shaped and solid object, model or component based on a designer's computerized instructions.
Theoretically, this type of system could be used to build a plane, car or even a human organ. Some forecasters predict 3D printers will be making home-cooked meals by 2020.
In reality, though, the systems have limited applications. Wang said that for now the technology can only supplement traditional manufacturing.
"It's too early to say" whether it will usher in a revolution for manufacturing, said Wang.
Printing objects
The technology for 3D printing first appeared in the United States in the 1980s, when Charles Hull invented digital computer equipment that could be used to make models with synthetic resins. He called the process "stereolithography."
Chavez returns to Venezuela
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has returned to Caracas after more than two months of cancer treatment in Cuba. The 58-year old, who has never revealed what cancer he has, will continue his treatment at a military hospital in the Venezuelan capital.
Based on Hull's work, scientists later developed techniques called Fused Deposition Modeling and Selective Laser Sintering for wider applications. Then in 1993, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors Michael Cima and Emanuel Sachs patented a practical 3D printing system.
That set off a worldwide race to commercialize 3D printing technology, leading to a variety of creative applications. As a result, the process has been used in Britain to make special footwear for soccer players and in Belgium to craft a replacement for a woman's jaw.
Last year, according to 3D authoring solution provider 3D Systems Corp. DDD, -2.85% the U.S. Air Force invested $2.95 million in the company on 3D printing procedures for aircraft components and weapons systems.
Chinese engineers started exploring the potential for 3D printing in the late 1980s, after U.S. technology was introduced to China by Yan Yongnian, a mechanical engineering professor at Tsinghua University.
Yan said his first exposure to the technology came in 1988 when, during a visit to the United States, he heard about Hull's research. He and a colleague later bought some equipment from Hull's company and brought U.S. scholars in the field to China to give lectures.
China now has four major research bases for 3D printing technology, Yan said. They include Tsinghua, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and a Beijing-based company called Beijing Longyuan Industrial Stock Co.
Moreover, each university has started a business geared toward profiting from 3D printing.
The achievement that won an award for Wang and his team is a technique called Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) for manufacturing high-density, metallic components. Their work led to the 2010 production of a wing part for the Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China's C919 jetliner, for a 90% cost savings over traditional manufacturing methods.
Wang calls LENS revolutionary because it takes less time and costs less than standard modeling techniques. Moreover, this process could have an enormous and beneficial impact on business for manufacturers of heavy equipment, aircraft and engines.

Of course, you're probably safe.
This is kinda a weird post but anyway....
Just this past day, I went to my aunt/uncle/cousins house. They live in a development, and when I booted up my laptop, I noticed I was connected to a wireless network that WASN'T theirs - which was probably someones across the street or their next-door neighboor. The network didn't require me to have an encryption dealie, so Windows just automatically signed onto it. I couldn't help but noticing that they had a cable connection. So I hopped on and looked in the Network Neighborhood for any obvious NetBios shares on winblows computers. I didn't find any, so i pinged all the IPs in the 192.168.1.x range and it came up with 3 responding IPs, but I couldn't resolve the host names. So I figured they had either A) Macs/Linux computers or B) had firewalls up.
However, I was wondering if this was perfectly legal. I mean, I didn't do anything bad (ie delete anything). Since it wasn't my service and I didn't get premission, i thought that that made my actions against the law. However, to counteract that thought, why did England have wifi networks that anyone could use? I'm extremly confused on this matter, and I'm not sure if I broke the law. If you can, please give me the details on this law? Any help is appreciated!
Of course, you're probably safe.
I can't say for sure in England, but in the US you'd be boarderline theft of services which is a federal offense. With a good lawyer and a judge who knows his/her ass from a hole in the ground you'd probably be okay.
This is assuming you were caught in the first place and given the situation it doesn't seem likely you would be.

Sunnyside parents demand action: 'This goes beyond obscene'
SUNNYSIDE, Wash. -- Action News learned the Sunnyside teachers under investigation for giving inappropriate materials to students are Maria Preston and Sacha Mike.
Parents say the teachers gave students pornographic poems and told them to memorize and recite the explicit material in class.
Some call it art. Others call it pornography. There's widespread agreement the poems said to have been given to Sunnyside High School students were inappropriate.
"It's not just one bad part. It's all throughout."
The mother who came forward wanted to remain anonymous, so we'll call her "Nancy." She spoke exclusively to Action News. Nancy says her son came home from Sunnyside High School a couple weeks ago, asking for help.
"It was total shock," she said. "I didn't know what I was feeling except 'what the heck was she thinking?'"
Nancy's son says each student in Maria Preston's and Ms. Sacha Mike's classes received a different poem.
- WARNING: Graphic material | Click here to read one of the poems
There are now seven in question. All are so sexually explicit we chose not to include those details in this story.
"She's got that poor of judgment on something this obvious. What is she going to do next?"
The Sunnyside School District put both Preston and Mike on paid leave.
The district had no comment despite repeated attempts for a response. However, Superintendent Rick Cole told the Sunnyside Daily Sun,"It's over the line and needs to be investigated."
Nancy: "I don't know what would be fireable if not giving out pornography to students and trying to humiliate them."
Reporter: So you consider this porn?
Nancy: "Yes, absolutely."
School district policy requires administrators to approve anything that could be deemed controversial. But that leaves teachers to determine what is controversial.
"There is no way, no way anyone who read these would think they are appropriate. No way."
Action News found a class syllabus used by Sacha Mike. She lists poems used in the classroom, but the seven in question aren't on the list. She also talks about speaking appropriately under classroom policies.
But Nancy maintains her son's assignment was the opposite of appropriate.
Nancy: "This goes beyond obscene."
Reporter: "Do you think she should be fired?"
Nancy: "Yeah I do."
That decision is still up to the district.
To get all sides, Action News wanted to hear from the teachers. Our reporter called Sacha Mike for three days and did not heard back.
KIMA was unable to find a phone number for Maria Preston.
The teachers union has no comment and hadn't heard anything about the case until we brought it to them.

ISLANDERS at RANGERS, 7:00 pmCompletely optional morning skate report
11:20 am, Madison Square Garden: Boston won in Atlanta last night (Jack Edwards said he'd been "in louder libraries"), giving tonight's rivalry tilt less luster than it already had. The Rangers are seven points behind the Bruins, the Islanders ten. The visitors have a chance to stick the dagger in the Blueshirts' playoff hopes tonight. Besides that, and the 3-D debut, chances are this game might be remembered more in a few years for The Fall for Seguin and Hall than anything else.
Since the Islanders have had a consistently higher battle level than the Rangers through 70 games, I expect them to win tonight. The great unknown is whether Henrik Lundqvist has one of those incredible games where he's pulling pucks out of his rear. Dwayne Roloson gets the start for the Islanders.
Trevor Gillies in tonight. Jeff Tambellini is the healthy scratch (yeah, I know…I rule with the scoops). The projected Islanders combinations to start tonight:
Moulson – Tavares – Comeau
Sim – Nielsen – Okposo
Bergenheim – Bailey – Hunter
Gillies – Park – Jackman
Meyer – Hillen
Streit – Gervais
Kohn – Reese
Sounds from the Locker Room
Josh Bailey: "Hopefully, we can be a bit of a spoiler. We're not too focused on where we are in the standings right now, but you never know what's going to happen."
Mark Streit: "The guys don't need any extra motivation. It's a pleasure to play these games. There's something in the air you don't always feel in other games."
Kyle Okposo: "It's fun playing these games. The fans make the difference. There never seems to be dull games between us. I like it. I love the physical games. I love getting hit. Helps me get into the game even more."
Scott Gordon: "(The Rangers) can't afford to have too many more off nights. I'm sure they'll be ready to play."
The Facts
The Islanders have a chance to make a little team history tonight if they beat the Rangers. They are 2-0 against them this season at Madison Square Garden. An Islanders club has never gone undefeated in Manhattan during a season in which they played in the Garden more than twice.
The road ice advantage has been a mainstay in this rivalry. The Islanders are 10-4-1 in their last 15 games at MSG, but are 8-21-3 in their last 32 games against the Rangers at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Scott Gordon has done well here in his brief Islanders career. Although the head coach is a combined 0-15-1 in New Jersey, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Gordon is 3-2 at the Garden.
The Stony Brook University roller hockey team is hosting a fundraiser on Saturday, March 27 for the family of Danielle Rosano, a six-year-old girl from East Setauket who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The Stony Brook team will host a three-hour roller hockey clinic on March 27 beginning at noon for children ages 5-14 at Skate Safe America in Bethpage. The cost is $15 per person. All proceeds will go directly to the Rosano family. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
For more information, to sign up or to make a donation please email firstname.lastname@example.com and call Harrison Last at 631.216.1539.
Notes: Congratulations to Kings Park's James Marcou on signing as a collegiate free agent with the San Jose Sharks. The 5-8, 175-pound playmaking dynamo had 51 points (11+40) in 36 games with the University of Massachusetts and is a two-time nominee for the Hobey Baker Award.
The big Islanders fan (his mom used to cut Patrick Flatley's hair) attended a team minicamp on Long Island three years ago. He demonstrated the skill that has earned him an Entry Level contract with San Jose.
The NHL's Board of Governors has approved a new rule outlawing headshots. The NHL Players' Association? Not too sure.
At FanHouse, we have created a trio of NHL awards honoring some people who rarely get any credit. Please vote for the Best Defensive Defenseman of 2009-10 and the Assistant Coach of the Year. The third and final award will be introduced next week.
I'm not sure what, if anything, I'll have for a postgamer tonight from the Garden. I was asked to cover the 3-D thing for AOL and will be watching at least the first half of the game in the Theatre at MSG. Will try to come up with something. Thanks for reading.
Terrific line in the Newsday rant today. A reader wrote that even though the game is in 3-D, the Rangers will still come out flat. Funny stuff.
Comments on this post and tonight's game.

India is the land of miracles. But the greatest miracle is about to take place...in London. Anita Singh meets a guru at the supermarket. She is amazed when he levitates in front of her. But is he really a fakir or just a fake? A rivalry in love for a self-claimed guru between two women takes an unexpected turn of events.
Writer-Director Graham Higgins won the Best New Talent Award at the Merseyside Arts & Entertainment Awards for his short film, "Pride", a comedy about a youth who fools his parents into thinking he's a merchant banker while working as a lavatory attendant. Pride was funded by the National Lottery and premiered at the 40th London Film Festival. It was then released theatrically through Metro Tartan, toured cinemas, and was broadcasted on Channel Four television. His other short films include Borborygmus, hailed by the Leeds Film Festival as "a terrific no-budget comedy" and screened at numerous festivals internationally, and the Docklands-set half-hour drama Rachel's Confidence, screened in the Best of British section at the BBC British Short Film Festival.

Preemptive Media's AIR
Launching September 14
"Allowing you to explore your neighborhood and urban environment for pollution and fossil fuel burning hotspots." :: The AIR project will launch on September 14, 2006 in Lower Manhattan at the AIR headquarters located in 125 Maiden Lane (map). Release party from 5-7pm!! The headquarters will be open daily from 12-7 pm from 9/15-21.
AIR is a public, social experiment in which people are invited to use Preemptive Media's portable air monitoring devices to explore their neighborhoods and urban environments for pollution and fossil fuel burning hotspots. Participants or "carriers" are able to see pollutant levels in their current locations, as well as simultaneously view measurements from the other AIR devices in the network. An on-board GPS unit and digital compass, combined with a database of known pollution sources such as power plants and heavy industries, allow carriers to see their distance from polluters and other AIR devices. In addition, the devices regularly transmit data to a central database allowing for real time data visualization on this website.
While AIR is designed to be a tool for individuals and groups to self identify pollution sources, it also serves as a platform to discuss energy politics and their impact on environment, health and social groups in specific regions.

Erica Ortiz looked down at her tiny daughter, Kristina.
"Baila," she whispered, encouraging the 1-year-old to dance along to the music playing on the day care stereo.
Erica Ortiz looked down at her tiny daughter, Kristina.
"Baila," she whispered, encouraging the 1-year-old to dance along to the music playing on the day care stereo.
Kristina leaned to one side and paused. Then her hands went straight into the air, and her face melted into a frown. She'd rather be held by her mama than dance today. Ortiz picked her up and squeezed.
Ortiz is a few months away from graduating high school, and a few days away from giving birth for the second time.
She misses school whenever Kristina is sick or has a checkup, but sometimes she skips doctor visits for herself so she doesn't get too far behind in her classes.
"It's hard to do that," Ortiz said. " ... It's hard to keep your grades up."
A new health clinic at her high school could allow Ortiz and students like her to spend more time in class while also providing more access to health care.
Oklahoma City Public Schools will build a clinic inside Emerson Alternative High School, and nonprofit Variety Care will run it.
Emerson had a clinic for more than 30 years, but it closed in 2009 after state funding cuts.
The new clinic will be open twice a week, said Debbie Johnson, health administrator for Oklahoma City Public Schools. It will be open to students, their children and staff.
Johnson said students with no access to health care will be able to see a professional, and expectant mothers will be able to get prenatal care.
"My goal is for the kids not to wait until they're six months along to get care," Johnson said.
The school likely will remodel the obsolete boiler room in the school basement, Oklahoma City schools Superintendent Karl Springer said.
It will cost about $150,000 to $200,000, Springer said, but who will pay for that is still up in the air. The district may use cash from its building funds, or officials might be able to request the MAPS Trust pay for the project.
Either way, Springer said he wants the clinic to open soon. Students need health services now. So do their young children.
"For these babies, we have them in school in four years," Springer said. "It's so important we get them off to the right start."
Board OK's clinic
The Oklahoma City School Board approved an agreement this month with the nonprofit Variety Care to run the clinic.
Variety Care announced earlier this year plans to open a clinic at Capitol Hill High School, 500 SW 36. The clinic will be open to students, families and staff.
Emerson advocates have been working to reopen the clinic since it closed four years ago, said Geremy Rowland, an attorney and chairman of the school's Community Advisory Board.
"I think in retrospect, myself included, we got off on some tangents that we did not need to, roads we should not have gone down," Rowland said. "We probably should have approached Variety Care or another partner to investigate their willingness. Hindsight is what it is."

On Friday March 1st, 2013, the Borger Police Department, in cooperation with the Borger Fire Marshalls Office and the Hutchinson County Sheriff's Office, conducted a business inspection at D&D Amusement located at 1320 S. Florida Street. The Borger Police Department had information that the establishment was selling some of the "potpourri" type substances that had been a recent topic of discussion during a Town Hall Meeting. Although these types of substances are not yet illegal for sale, the Borger Police Department had further information this establishment was selling Illegal Substances in addition to the "potpourri" type substances. Upon conducting the inspection, Officers established Probable Cause to obtain a Search Warrant for Illegal Narcotics.
Once the Search Warrant was obtained and Executed, JOEL MICAH BROWN, 42 years of age, of Borger, was arrested for POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PG 1 >= 1G < 4G (Methamphetamines); and JOSHUA ALLEN LAND, 36 years of age, of Borger, was arrested for POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PG 1 >= 1G < 4G (Methamphetamines). Both Brown and Land were transported to the Borger Police Department where they were processed and incarcerated in the City of Borger Jail Facility. Both Brown and Land were later arraigned, where bond was set at $25,000 each. TOMMIE ANN TIJERINA, 29 years of age, of Borger, was also arrested during the Execution of the Search Warrant. Tijerina was arrested for Possession of Marijuana in a Drug Free Zone. Additional charges will likely be sought on person(s), if not all parties involved.
During the Execution of the Search Warrant, the Borger Police Department worked with several Federal Agencies to assist and ensure the best outcome of this Investigation. The Borger Police Department, in cooperation with these Federal Agencies seized 17 Firearms; including Rifles, Pistols and Shotguns. At least one of the Firearms seized was an illegal firearm. In addition the Borger Police Department will be filing seizure documents, on a local level, with the District Attorney's Office, in regards to a large amount of US currency, Illegal Narcotics, Illegal Narcotics Paraphernalia and items related to the sale of Illegal Narcotics.
The Borger Police Department continues, and will continue, to aggressively enforce current laws in reference to Illegal Narcotics. Although some of the "synthetic" substances or "potpourri" type substances may not be specifically listed as illegal, they are often found or associated with other Illegal Substances. As these "synthetic" type substances have become a growing concern of the Borger Police Department, as well as to the Citizens, the Borger Police Department will aggressively maintain its enforcement of any Illegal Activity by the Laws of the State of Texas, Federal Laws, and Municipal Ordinances. The Borger Police Department greatly appreciates the public support while the Borger Police Department continues to combat this growing epidemic.
Since learning of these establishments selling the "synthetic" type of "potpourri" type substances, as well as having knowledge that these legal substances are also most times associated with Illegal Substances, the Borger Police Department has been focused on selective enforcement around the area of these establishments. On January 1st, 2013, Borger Police Detectives were patrolling the area around one of these establishments. On this date, BRANDY RALYN HULSEY, a 38 years of age, of Pampa, was arrested for POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PG 1 >= 4G < 200G. Also arrested on that date was DEREK PAUL KINDLE, 22 years of age, of Pampa. Both subjects had just purchased these legal "synthetic" type or "potpourri" type substances from an establishment.
Enforcement efforts continued on March 4th, 2013 when Borger Police Detectives again arrested persons leaving one of these establishments. Joshua Corderro Mauricio, 24 years of age, of Miami Tx, was arrested on an instanter traffic offense. Emily Nicole Mauricio, 21 years of age, of Pampa was arrested for Outstanding Warrants and was also issued a Citation for having an Open Container of Alcohol in a Motor Vehicle. Again, these subjects had just purchased the not yet illegal, "synthetic" type or "potpourri" type substances. Both subjects were transported to the Borger Police Department where they were processed and incarcerated in the City of Borger Jail Facility.

Summer vacation. It conjures up visions of relaxation, sports, sunny days, perhaps sand and water or woodlands. For individuals and families with asthma and allergies though, it means extra thought and preparation before "the good times roll."
As we head full tilt into summer, here is a list of some common sense—but commonly missed—suggestions for a healthy vacation.
Take with you a detailed list of medications showing prescription refill number, prescribing physician and dosage. (Each medication's original label should have all the needed information.)
Pack the needed quantities of medications and, if possible, also pack a backup quantity to avoid being caught short. Be sure to pack your medication in your carry-on luggage in case checked luggage is lost.
Be sure to bring an emergency, insect-sting epinephrine injection kit if you or someone in your family has this form of hypersensitivity.
Include with your medications a topical hydrocortisone cream and antihistamine (prescription medication if available, or an over-the-counter brand previously used with good results).
If someone with asthma is using a peak flow meter, be sure to bring it along on your vacation, with the chart that is used to record results.
If you are using a nebulizer to deliver anti-asthma medication, it should not be left at home when going on vacation. Be sure that, if traveling abroad, you have an electrical current converter for the nebulizer. For campers and others who will be spending vacation periods in "the rough," portable nebulizers powered off an auto cigarette lighter receptacle are available.
To protect against dust mites, it may be wise to pack your own allergy-proof pillow or mattress casings.
People with acute asthma and allergy conditions should consider wearing a medical alert-type necklace or bracelet at all times.
Insuring Health Care Availability on Vacation
Check the extent and limitations of your medical insurance policies before leaving the country or your state. Know in advance if your plan or group will cover physician and hospital visits away from its operating territories.
When you know your vacation destination, get recommendations from your physician for asthma and allergy specialists in that area, or contact the local state medical society at the destination for recommendations on area specialists. In relatively populated areas, ask for several potential healthcare providers, to allow for comparisons.
You can also write, call or visit the web sites of the following organizations:
American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology85 W. Algonquin Road, Suite 550
Arlington Heights, IL 60005
847-427-1200 website: www.acaai.org www.allergyandasthmarelief.org (for patients)
If your vacation takes you to a foreign land, you might consider contacting the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers. For a low-cost donation to this nonprofit organization, you can receive a directory of English-speaking physicians worldwide who have trained in either the U.S., Canada or the United Kingdom. It can also provide forms for your own clinical records, immunization information for specific countries and worldwide climate charts. For further details call: IAMAT at 1623 Military Road, Niagra Falls, NY, 14304-1745; or call (716) 754-4883.
Sensible Behaviors and Actions
During the hot weather season, people with asthma and allergies should drink plenty of fluids.
Avoid exposure to tobacco smoke whenever possible.
Call ahead to order a special meal on the airplane. Or pack your own "safe" snacks.
When eating out, ask the waiter if sulfites have been used as a food preservative. If so, find out whether special preparations without sulfite additives can be ordered. If eating out in a country where you don't speak the language, have a warning note drafted in the local language that alerts wait staff to your allergy.
Prior to beginning a lengthy auto trip to your vacation spot, take appropriate measures to rid the vehicle's ventilating and air conditioning system of mold and mildew.
For those prone to exercise-induced asthma, it may be a good idea to keep prescribed emergency medication on you at all times.
Request a hotel room that is nonsmoking and mold-free.
If you have questions about the primary allergens and pollen count in the area you are visiting, contact the local Chamber of Commerce. You can visit the National Allergy Bureau's website at www.aaaai.org or visit AAFA's home page of our website. AAFA also has a national network of educational support groups. One may be in the area you are traveling to and could provide you with useful local information. Call 800-7-ASTHMA for support group contacts.

Read: The Two Sides Should Touch Base Tomorrow
According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, the NHL and NHLPA should touch base tomorrow but there is currently no meeting scheduled.
Brooks says that the NHLPA has been willing to meet with the NHL without any conditions but the NHL is reportedly concerned about an "agenda" that the NHLPA would bring and who would direct the dialogue.
He adds that the drop dead date for the season will come in mid-January.

Item: DZTRANSBKSET
The DiMarzio Transition humbuckers were originally designed for Steve Lukather, and have a rich, organic tone that brings out first and second degree harmonics. This gives the DiMarzio Transition pickup presence and "sweet" sustain, no matter if it is used clean or dirty. This pickup has been used extensively on Steve's recent recordings. The output rating isn't extremely high, but the DiMarzio Transition puts a lot of impact into every picked note. The passive DP255 Transition humbucker is both subtle and tough. They have power and they have depth. Steve says they're organic, and they allow him to own his sound. "These days I like it simple and direct," he shares. The Transition has a tough, in-your-face sound that's also perfect for shredding and technical playing.

Project Wellness: Increasing HIV Testing Among West African Immigrants

- How to Read a Study Record
Project Wellness is a new intervention that combines the use of culturally-sensitive, video-based education, a general health screening approach, and a community pharmacy setting into one program to improve black African immigrant participation in voluntary HIV testing. The study is divided into three phases: qualitative research; video production; and a feasibility trial. In Phase 1, the investigators will conduct in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with black African participants to obtain insights on overlapping and resonating themes that will help increase participation in HIV testing among black Africans in the Bronx. In Phase 2, data obtained through qualitative work will guide the development of four health education videos. A culturally-tailored educational video on diabetes, hypertension, and HIV will be developed and produced for each gender and in both English and French. In phase 3, the investigators will test the feasibility of a pharmacy-based, culturally-tailored, general health screen that includes rapid HIV testing. The trial will help determine the feasibility of using a computer-based model; recruitment of black Africans in the pharmacies; acceptance of testing; and linking individuals diagnosed with health problems into medical care. A secondary analysis will also determine predictors of refusing to be tested.

Are you a homeowner? If so, then one of your top concerns should be safety. Keeping your home safe for you and your family can involve a lot of different methods, but one certain way is to make sure you have the proper safety equipment on hand including the best chainsaw.
Safety equipment refers to a lot of different items, such as a ladder, a First-Aid kit and a home security system. However, you may be wondering whether a rescue saw is necessary as well. A rescue saw is a powerful tool used by professional firefighters to cut throw debris and rescue people who are trapped. Read on to learn more about rescue saws and whether you need one, as well as other home safety tips.
What is a rescue saw?
A rescue saw is a professional grade piece of rescue equipment used by firefighters both in homes fires and in extracting victims from car accidents. It is a circular saw made of diamond that can cut through just about anything, even metal. You can find them at Husqvarna.
The Pros and Cons of Owning a Rescue Saw
While a rescue saw sounds like a great idea because of its ability to cut through just about any material, it may not be right for the average homeowner. Not only is it considerably pricier than the average saw, but it is not safe to operate if you do not have the proper training.
The only situation where a rescue saw would be useful is in the event of a fire. You should never go back into a fire to rescue someone because you do not have the correct equipment or training. Firefighters have items like oxygen tanks and burn-proof gear, as well as hour of training and experience behind them. If you attempt to rescue someone trapped in a burning building, then you're not only risking your own life, but the other person's life because you'll just be wasting everyone's time. Instead, your first priority should be to get everyone out of the house and call the fire department for help.
Other Tips for Keeping Your Home Safe
There are plenty of other ways you can work to make your house safer besides purchasing a rescue saw. For example, one of the safest things you can do is make a plan. This plan will include directions on what to do in the event of any emergency, whether it's a fire, earthquake or flood. You should plan an escape route, keep all emergency equipment in the same place, and educate all residents and family members in your home about what to to in case of an emergency.
This is particularly important if you have children in the home. Young children may not know what to do if they see smoke or if an emergency should occur. Therefore, you should instruct them about how to call for help and leave the emergency numbers somewhere where the children can get to them. You can even appoint an older child to be the official safety officer, responsible for calling the appropriate number in the event of an emergency.
Finally, you should always make sure that you have the appropriate number of smoke detectors in the home. Always make sure to test the batteries regularly so that you don't have to worry about a fire starting undetected.
