AWD can see a shotgun from my house! And I can also see that conserva-babe Sarah Palin stylin' and profilin' a Molon Labe t shirt designed by Big Fur Hat of I Own The World! Wooooo baby! That is one fine shotgun! Oh, and Sarah does a fine job telling Hussein Hopenchange to Come And Take It, too! Well, one might be tempted to take that fine, little filly Sarah Palin but might give pause before going after that bad-ass 12 gauge! And I think her husband wins that Iditarod thing, too.
Anthem Studios is selling the Molon Labe t shirt. Anthem also sells AWD t shirts (hint, hint). Anthem only takes conservative bloggers for clients and will not sell a damn thang for a libtard!
HERE is the link where you can own your genuine Molon Labe t shirt. Or AWD shirt, too….ya cheap bastids.
Oh! And Sarah? Call me.

Focus on Travel: Back to the Balkans: With War Mostly on Hold, the Fabled Adriatic Coast Lures Western Tourists with an Inviting Blend of Beauty and Bargains. but Don't Expect Air Conditioning
Nordland, Rod, Newsweek
The Balkan beaches are back, hotter than ever. Ten years after the wars began and five years since combat raged along the coastline, Western tourists are venturing back to the sublime eastern reaches of the Adriatic Sea. From Croatia's Istrian Peninsula, down the 400-mile Dalmatian coast to Kotor and along the ruggedly beautiful shores of Montenegro, there is hardly a hotel room to be found this August. And if you find one, it probably won't be air-conditioned.
Marie Lafayette, a physical therapist from Venice Beach, Calif., found herself part of the rush. She stepped off the ferry last Tuesday on the island of Hvar, famous for its all-night beach discos, to discover with sweaty horror that there was no room at the inns. What to do except flash off an e-mail to friends from the nearest Internet cafe? "All of Italy is here," she typed. "I don't know where I'm going to sleep!" Eventually a local family gave her a bed in a room shared with five others, for $12.50 per person. "There wasn't even a fan," she reported.
For the moment, at least, the only Balkan war going on is in Macedonia, well out of artillery range from the coast. The Adriatic scenery is spectacular, with the Dinaric Alps plummeting into seas that are often exquisitely clear and possibly even clean. Greener by far than Greece, the thousand-plus offshore islands are often lushly forested. On the 66 of them that are inhabited, rows of pencil cypresses separate vineyards from olive groves, and ancient towns exude culture from their days as Venetian colonies. Where else would you find a Tintoretto triptych in its original home above the altar of a village church, way out at sea? Everywhere there is fresh seafood, artisan cheeses--and the Dalmatian tradition of minimalist meals with only fresh ingredients and strange but eminently drinkable wines, some of which actually have names that contain vowels (unlike, say, the sweet, white Grk). "There really are a lot of foreigners this year," says Renato Jurievic, maitre d'hotel of the Hotel Korcula. "The Adriatic coast, it's in."
If war jitters no longer stop the tourists, they still keep real-estate prices down. On the tony island of Korcula, with a walled 13th-century town surrounded by the sea, local properties steeped in history have reportedly been snapped up by assorted Microsoft executives and foreign journalists. …

Archived Story
Forget the forest, let's really look at the treesPublished 12:52am Sunday, March 3, 2013
Arbor Day has been celebrated on the last Friday in April across our nation since 1872. One hundred years later, in 1972, the Arbor Day Foundation was formed, a nonprofit conservation and education organization of nearly one million members.
Its mission is to inspire people to plant, celebrate and nurture trees. It works with thousands of organizations all over the United States such as the U.S. Forest Service, schools, and environmental groups to raise awareness of the value of trees.
Through the generous donations of members and partners, the foundation has helped the forest service plant more than 20 million forestland trees since 1990.
So you can understand why it is a designated day Ironton in Bloom members get excited about.
We have found several spots downtown that could certainly benefit from a well-planted tree.
Although the Arbor Day Foundation has declared the mighty oak its official tree, the locations we have in mind dictate the need for trees that are well able to stand the far-from-ideal conditions that surrounding streets and sidewalks offer.
At our most recent meeting, our tree committee brought five trees to the table that they feel we should consider.
We would like to see how these trees actually look growing, since the catalog pictures and descriptions are limiting. The trees are Kentucky Coffee, American Linden, Little Leaf Linden, Black Gum and the Thornless Hawthorne.
A beautiful row of Thornless Hawthorne can be seen at the corner of 10th and Scott streets, but we know of no place where the others can be viewed.
If readers out there have any of these trees growing on your property, or know where they can be seen that is reasonably convenient, would you please contact Carol Allen at (740) 532-4495 or me at (740) 532-2954?
This must be done ASAP since we need to order the trees soon if we are to plant them on Arbor Day.
We are also curious about what might be the oldest tree within the city limits. We could probably stir up some money for a plaque for it if there is evidence to prove its age.
We hope you'll help us with this information as we continue to enjoy doing constructive projects to create beauty and interest in our town.

2011 theater schedules
- Now playing: A rundown of every currently running production in Colorado, with summaries, contact information and web-page links.
- By company Catch up on what every troupe in Colorado has planned.
- By opening date A list of every current and upcoming title.
2010 Fall Arts Preview » Things turn colorful in autumn. And not just through those red and gold shades of fall leaves. The art scene unfolds its full spectrum of multihued offerings; serious works, ambitious premieres, major celebrations of company milestones; it's the best season of the year. This Sunday and next, The Denver Post's cultural critics will offer their picks of the most promising events. Today, we explore the fine arts, music, dance, theater and visual art. On Sept. 12, we'll take on film and television. We invite you to get out your calendars and make your own picks from among ours.
Conflict is the core element of any theatrical drama, but the fall theater season is loaded with an intriguing array of plays that explore strife of all stripes — racial, religious, marital, medical and more.
Once again, we've chosen our 10 most intriguing titles to watch this fall from more than 115 statewide offerings. The list includes two seminal plays rarely performed in the area: "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" and "Angels in America," one of the greatest theatrical undertakings of the past 50 years.
Among musicals, all eyes will be on the Arvada Center, which will become only the second regional theater in the country to present "Sunset Boulevard."
Because we write extensively about all Denver Center titles, our primary focus here is on the rest of the local theater community. But down at a very busy 'Plex, The Denver Center Theatre Company will be unveiling its most interesting fall lineup in years, most tantalizingly the comic, quick- change Hitchcock send-up of "The 39 Steps," starring Sam Gregory (opening Sept. 16), and just the second English-language staging of Isabel Allende's "The House of the Spirits" (Oct. 1). That's a brutal, best-selling political novel about four generations of Latin American women in an unstable country that looks a lot like Chile.
The Broadway touring division will welcome back Second City for a celebration of that famed comedy group's 50th birthday (opening Sept. 14). "Grease" (opening Oct. 12), "Mamma Mia" (opening Nov. 2) and Blue Man Group (opening Dec. 7) return for short visits, but the show that most promises to get the turnstiles turning (and the cash registers ringing) is the stage adaptation of "Shrek" (opening Nov. 16).
Fall also brings a musical version of the TV show "Happy Days" to Aurora (Sept. 18); theater returns to the Mizel Center with the new Theatre Or's "The Chosen," based on Chaim Potok's novel (opening Oct. 14); and the experimental LIDA Project's "HOT+WAX" (opening Sept. 24) blends the Icarus story, the current economic crisis and 1980s video games.
As always, look to The Denver Post online for your complete statewide theater listings. You'll find to our complete list of every currently running production in Colorado, including summaries, run dates, addresses, phones and links to every company's home page. Or check out our listings by company or by opening date

Quotable: "Mr. Dark is, in essence, an archetype. My challenge is to make him real, human, almost sympathetic.

Kushner follows two couples, including Republican law clerk Joe Pitt and his Valium-addicted, agoraphobic wife, Harper. It is at once a love story, a comedy and a sweeping indictment of the Reagan administration's handling of the AIDS epidemic.
Quotable: "At some point, every member of the audience will relate to something Harper experiences. A role like this that calls for honest heartache, love, betrayal and acceptance, comes along once in a lifetime." — Haley Johnson, star of Miners Alley Playhouse's "The Underpants."

Info: at 1385 S. Santa Fe Drive, 303-300-2210; paragontheatre.org
Gravity Defied's "[title of show]"
When: Nov. 5-21

So, after a very abysmal Royal Rumble I decided to make a thread that when WWE makes us irate at their decisions we have a place so we can get it off our chest. I'll start with my first topic, the Rock an their "Twice In A Lifetime" build:
The WWE bring in part-timers/legends because people today can't draw. That's just a simple fact. Nobody on the REAL roster can really draw if you're names not John Cena or to a lesser extent CM Punk. Orton used to be HUGE but WWE has done everything they can to make him seem like he's really not that big of a deal. This is where I get absolutely irate with Cena. Why does he need to be involved with the Rock? They had their match and there's absolutely no reason for them to do this again JUST so Cena can get his passing of the torch or Wrestlemania moment or whatever he's benefiting from this.
John Cena is a draw. There's no doubt about that. The Rock is a draw, something you can also not doubt. So smart marketing would say that you would split them so that fans of both are still seeing them but the two they are working with are getting exposure. I'm not speaking as a wrestling fan, I'm talking as someone who understands that it should be common sense to do this. WWE's main problem currently is that no star feels like a big deal because John Cena is god and everyone is stricken down by him. Don't try to convince me it's about the wrestlers being small either because size has nothing to do with it. Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat, Chris Benoit, Bret Hart, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Edge, and many others aren't the biggest guys but still could be a big draw in their time. It's not even about mic work! Mysterio, Benoit, Steamboat, and Hart all were terrible on the mic! You didn't like them because they could drop Pipebombs but because WWE played to their strengths (Mysterio's heritage, Steamboat was the mecca of fan-favorite face, Bret Hart showed what he could do in the ring, and Benoit was the "workhorse").
When it comes down to it a gimmick can it as great as they come, but if the booking/storylines aren't interesting, it's going to flop(sadly the route the Shield is going.) Booking can make the show must-watch or absolute shit. They need to get rid of the D-list movie actors/writers they have and get actual wrestling minds in there (Heyman, Cornette, and Trips to start). Maybe even bring Russo in, I don't care just get people who actually WATCH the sport so that they understand what works. I feel like I strayed from what I wanted to say at first though, this is where Cena fans might want to use ear muffs.
Cena is what has killed the industry. Stories are slowly starting to leak from lower stars (Tyler Reks, Derrick Bateman) of the antics Cena does and its shockinglyreminiscent of Hulk Hogan. He has to be the top guy and always pick on the new guys and he even calls out a lower mid-carder because his finisher looks too much like his own (which it doesn't at all.) For a guy that is supposed to embody "Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect"sure doesn't respect his opponents unless their name is Dwayne. This is probably one of the most annoying things that Cena does. He absolutely degrades the guy he's facing (most recently Ziggler) and makes him seem like he isn't a threat to him. He ruined one of the most promising storylines in a while this way with Nexus and he's done it on multiple times throughout his reign on top. Even CM Punk the #2 guy has been made to see like he can't even contend with Cena without being dirty. If nobody can pin Cena, why does any 10 year old kid want to see anyone but a winner? CM Punk has created/tried to help out as many people as he can on the way to the top. If you don't look good in a feud with CM Punk you're doing something wrong. Daniel Bryan, The Shield, all the members of SES, and even older stars like Triple H and even CENA himself look better when they're facing off against Punk. It's because of his mic work and the fact that in the ring he'll actually put you over. He won't get hit by multiple finishers and a briefcase and still pop up. WWE is in denial if they think that the reason that they can't stars over is because Cena is the only guy that can. It's the fact that he's untouchable and everyone is beneath him.
Okay I think I need a break from Cena because it turned into just simply rambling things about him. Although I mentioned about the Reks/Bateman things I still think Cena is a good guy. I also think Hogan is a good guy, but I believe they both have this fear that if they let guys go over then they'll just be forgotten. Anywho, onto my favorite two divisions: Mid-card and Tag team. I've said it before that the WWE has the most talent wrestling-wise then at any other time (including NXT). People like Cesaro, Punk, Bryan, Kidd, Ziggler, Ohno, Neville, Generico are Indy darlings and there's only way to become an indy darling: be the best wrestler on the card. I hope someone can tell me what Kofi Kingston, Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel, or Evan Bournes personality or gimmicks are like because all I see them as is the guys that smile a lot and never have mic time to develop an actual character. Hmm, I wonder why people can invest in characters like that? You're not going to care about a wrestler for long if they do nothing interesting or have something to spark your interest. That's why I think they need to get rid of all the stupid recaps and give more mic-time to the entire roster. Prime-Time Players are hilarious on WWE: Inbox on Youtube but apparently they can't get any time with the stick on an actual show. Makes no sense. Come to think of it, watch a couple of WWE youtube shows. You'll probably see more personality from guys you never saw before. Mic-time is the key to the mid-card. I'm making another paragraph because this is that damn important.
Where is the harm in giving the mid-card/tag team more mic time? There is no reasonable excuse except that they want more of Cena or Punk to talk for 30 minutes each week. How about the benefits of them talking? It'll give the fans more exposure to them and their character which gives them another reason to watch the show and not just turn the channel until the end. It also gives them diversity. I loved the Cena/Punk feud and the Bryan/Punk feud but if that's all the show is about I'm going to grow tired of it. TV shows work well when there are different directions they're going in because you reach a broader audience and possibly spark their interest. If you have a main-event feud, tag team feud, and mid-card feud those are three different reasons for me to watch your TV show. Guess what else this little trick does? If everyones get air-time, then what the hell separates the divison? Oh yeah, the ACTUAL TITLES. When everyone has a story and a thing they're fighting for the only thing that matters in the end are the titles and the different levels let the audience know where you're at on the card and how much prestige each title has.
I think that is it for now but I know I have more that I want to get off my chest, tell me what you think and respond with rants of your own about things that bug you. My next rant will probably be more specific about the tag team divison, Daniel Bryan, overkill, and many other things.

Sex is an important part of any relationship, and as it may be, there are a thousand things that can go wrong as far as your sex life is concerned. Little changes that people do not notice or choose to ignore end up slowly reducing a couple's interest in sex and in the long run will put strain on the relationship.
The loosening of a woman's vagina can be a result of giving birth to a child, hormonal changes, and some are simply born with a vagina more loose than others just as some men are more endowed than others.
When you are talking about vaginal tightening creams, gels and lotions there is one herbal ingredient that keeps appearing in products; it's called curcuma comosa.
Found originally in lush rain forests of Thailand these herbs are known to have special regenerative effects upon a female's vaginal area, for this reason these herbs are used in several vaginal tightening creams and gels.
Along with the mentioned usage curcuma comosa also helps to deal with issues of vaginal dryness, menstrual pain, hot flashes and abdominal pain. By applying this specific herbal extract to almost any part of your body you will notice and increase in blood circulation to that area and also a powerful tightening and lifting of sagging muscles is also observed.
A paste of these herbs is also applied to the breasts in many spas across the globe to help take care of any visual sagging. Of course we are interested in curcuma comosa for its natural vaginal tightening properties which are highly astringent in nature. These potent herbs help to restore elasticity and youthfulness to the vagina.
Curcuma comosaa is known to have estrogenic effects and also increase the effectiveness of ovarian hormones which provides many other positive effects for your body, such as the tightening of vaginal walls and even an increase in sexual function and libido. These herbs are known to increase the firmness of the walls of the vagina thus helping to restore the size of the vagina back to its pre-delivery form.
A lack of communication between you and you partner if your suffering from vaginal problems can put a hard strain on the relationship. Matters such as this can effectively cripple your sexual closeness which is something you want to avoid if you value a loving, caring relationship.
It is critically important that you be open with your partner about all things! Next time things are hindering your sex lift give curcuma comosa herbs a try, they are found in several sex enhancing vagina tightening creams and gels across the Internet..

So does CircleUp. CircleUp is partnering with big name consumer corporations like General Mills (GIS - Get Report) and Procter & Gamble (PG - Get Report). Through the partnerships, General Mills and P&G will offer mentoring to the companies on things like growing brands, licensing deals, etc. The partnerships then give the corporations a view of the early-stage consumer products market and the ability to screen potential investments or eventual acquisitions. One criticism against CircleUp is the amount of data and financials a company has to provide in order to be listed on the site. Startups worry that it will lessen their competitive advantage if they essentially give away all their secrets, but others say it's the price you pay if you want funding. "It's one way that were trying to add value not only to the companies, but the ecosystem overall," Eakin says. The company also dismisses criticism of whether it should be called a crowdfunding or private placement site, with Eakin saying: "we are a crowdfunding site that provides investment opportunities for accredited investors. We enable individual investors to come together to invest in a private business. Current regulations limit this model to accredited investors only, and we follow those regulations." The main challenge for the company right now is keeping up with demand both from companies seeking funding as well as investors hungry for investment opportunities, he says. "We believe the models like CircleUp -- and there are others -- have demonstrated the Internet can be an efficient tool to start [investors' due] diligence processes," Eakin says. "It's a way of connecting potential investors to high-growth small businesses in a way that wasn't possible so far." -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

Picture Diary 2x10g's
7 Attachment(s)
And last but not least here's the two 10g's and the changes they went through between set up (20 Dec) and today (March 11th).
As you can see what started out with something like a 1/4cup Java moss in the black sand tank now covers the entire back wall (makes for a nice shrimp home). Driftwood had to move out do to softening the water too far.
On the light colored sand the Hairgrass has spread a lot nice new runners over the past 2 months now and that's really filling in nicely now can't wait myself to see that tank some 6 months from now.
These 2 tanks are waiting their new inmates via mail today being Killi and RC Shrimp :-D
what are the two huge leaved plants in the first pic?? are they swords?
No. These are Java Ferns and mine started building a ton daughter plants along the leaves in the past week, so let them grow a lil bigger and I will send them all your way if you like :-)
Aww Earl looks so happy in his big tank. Love all the hairgrass. It spread very nicely.
Yea the hairgrass is indeed going pretty well now; at first it didn't wanna do much but once it was settled in now the past uhm maybe ~6 weeks here its REALLY started building nice runners everywhere and filling in...again just like any other tank I need more patience and just let it do its thing over time :-)
My narrow leaf chain sword is starting to get small runners. I can definitely see it filling in the front of the tank nicely in the next few months or so. 1 pot gave me 3 nice size plants, so I space them out across the front of the tank.
Nice! You can easily see the progression!

The Eagle
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Eagle: Text of the Poem
The Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
People who Shmooped this also Shmooped...

Effective July 1, 2016, Immaculate Heart Academy in Washington Township, NJ will be instituting the President/Principal model of governance in order to reflect the changing and more complex educational and fiscal needs of Catholic secondary education in the 21st century.
Archdiocesan News
On Friday, April 29, the faithful of the Archdiocese of Newark will celebrate a special Mass of Thanks and Farewell at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark for The Most Reverend Bernard A. Hebda, whom Pope Francis appointed as the Ninth Archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Students from Queen of Peace High School and Elementary School in North Arlington celebrated Earth Day at Holy Cross Cemetery and Mausoleum. Forty-three students planted new trees to commemorate the occasion and recited prayers to honor those interred at the cemetery.
On Friday, April 8, 2016, Pope Francis released his Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, or "The Joy of Love." Pope Francis issued Amoris Laetitia in response to both the Third Extraordinary and the Fourteenth Ordinary General Assemblies of the Synod of Bishops in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude for the support, feedback, and friendship with which I was blessed in the time that I served in the Archdiocese of Newark. I consider myself privileged to have been welcomed into the life of your local Church.
Pope Francis formally announced Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda's appointment as Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Archbishop Hebda has been serving as Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese since June 15, 2015.
The Archdiocese of Newark must shut down its cemetery inscription-rights program due to a law that goes into effect today that makes it illegal for all religious cemeteries in New Jersey to sell headstones or monuments to its parishioners.
A warm greeting to all of the Priests who have gathered this evening and to fellow Bishops, Deacons, those in Consecrated Life, Seminarians and all who are joining us for this important Liturgy during Holy Week.
The 20/20 Project is an effort to ban abortion past 20 weeks (post-fertilization) in New Jersey by passing the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act by the year 2020. This is the first step to banning all abortions and attaining equal rights for all babies in the womb.
Pope Francis appoints New Jersey native Reverend Monsignor James F. Checchio to serve as the fifth bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen, leading more than 640,000 area Catholics.

Academic Exchanges with Cuba: The Impact of Recent U.S. Policy Changes
Barberia, Lorena, International Educator
U.S. POLICIES TOWARD DIRECT CIVILIAN CONTACTS with Cuba have been significantly tightened in recent years as part of the George W. Bush administration's concerted efforts to further exert pressure to bring about regime change on the island. This offensive affects regulations that allow educational exchanges between countries only 90 miles apart from each other. U.S. universities and colleges that have maintained ongoing academic exchange programs for several years with Cuba are finding that escalating restrictions on academic exchanges have imposed difficult, but not insurmountable, challenges.
Two Decades of U.S.-Cuba Academic Exchanges
The latest tightening of U.S. policies toward the island nation is a continuation of a U.S. policy that has sought the demise of the Castro government for more than four decades. At times, U.S. presidents have slightly loosened these restrictions. The gradual opening of academic exchanges between the countries slowly came about in the late 1970s, aided by negotiations between the Carter administration and the Cuban government aimed at improving bilateral relations.1 These exchanges gradually increased so that by 1989, the year of the collapse of the island's trade with the Soviet Union, 1,500 U.S. travelers in 95 groups were visiting the island, some through educational exchanges.2
In the early 1990s, U.S. policies toward direct contact between civilians in both countries were tightened. In response to the 1994 crisis sparked by the exodus of more than 35,000 Cuban rafters and the shooting down of two Brothers to the Rescue aircraft by the Cuban military in 1996. In 1994, President Clinton banned direct flights to Cuba and introduced enhanced restrictions to the Cuban Assets and Control regulations requiring academics to apply for special licenses approved on a case-by-case basis. While the Clinton administration slightly loosened these policies in 1995 allowing U.S. undergraduates to travel to Cuba for the first time in more than three decades, it then banned direct flights to Cuba in 1996.
In 1999, the Clinton administration reversed its earlier hard-line stance and introduced policies to enhance people-to-people exchanges, including initiatives directed at promoting two-way interactions among academics and scientists. In spite of restrictions in U.S. policy, visits between both countries surged and academic exchanges grew both in number and scope during the 1990s. During that decade, a significant number of U.S. institutions, including universities and colleges, initiated activities with Cuba, site of one of the earliest universities in the Americas.
This sharp increase in bilateral academic exchanges coincided with what would be one of the most dramatic decades of Cuba's history. The country was grappling with the extraordinary shock of the breakup of the Soviet Union and its impact on Cuban productivity and welfare. As the Cuban economy began to slowly and gradually recover, academics would seek to better understand the implications of this experience for Cuba's economic strategy and social development, as well as the impact of the successive tightening of the U.S. embargo through the enactment of the 1992 Cuban Democracy Act (CDA) and the 1996 Helms-Burton Act.
One such academic exchange program was started by the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS) at Harvard University. Since its founding in 1994, the Center has prioritized finding ways to overcome the many obstacles that impeded scholarly collaboration. In the last 10 years, DRCLAS has hosted more than 50 Cuban visiting scholars for extended periods of research and collaboration in fields as diverse as archival preservation, economics, history, tropical medicine, political science, public administration, and public health in the last 10 years. Each year during the last decade, the number of Harvard faculty and students traveling to Cuba for research or other educational activities has increased. …

Come into my world
Come crashing through the ceiling
And find the messy rooms, the scattered pearls
If you are brave enough then come into my world
Come into my world
So lovely from the outside
So dark in here the demons dance and twirl
And find their pleasure frightening this girl
If you are brave then come into my world
Cause I never saw the changes come
Or knew enough to run when this old house had come undone
And now I'm buried in the walls
And no one comes to call but you
Come into my world
Come into my world
I can not find the doorway
It's overgrown with vines that twist and curl
If you are brave then come into my world
Come into my world
There'll be no other invitation
Not another sound another word
Nothing more than you've already heard
Please be brave and come into my world
Repeat Chorus

U ED 70200—Historical Contexts in Urban Education, W 415- 615p, 3 credits, Semel [30266] only open to UED students Room 3209
U ED 70500— Educational Policy, M 415 - 615p, 3 credits, Michelli [30267] only open to UED students Room 4419
U ED 74100—Quantitative Methods in Urban Education, M 630 - 830p, 3 credits, Room 6418, Battle [30271]
U ED 71100—Multiliteracies and Multimodalities, T 415 - 615p, 3 credits, Garcia [30268] Room 3305
Schools most often value only one system of signification–– texts produced traditionally in dominant "standard" languages. But the young people who interact with texts are increasingly visibly and audibly different, the product of the deterritorialization of people and the deregulation of markets brought about by a neoliberal global political economy. At the same time, new technologies have enabled the simultaneous use of different modes of signification. These include multimodal texts that include images, videos, emojis, signed languages, and other multimodalities, as well as plurilingual/multilingual texts that contain language features not considered "standard" or dominant. This seminar explores the ways in which diverse young people today construct and make sense of multimodal/plurilingual texts outside of school, in contrast to the ways in which they interact with those texts that schools value as their "anchor" texts. By focusing on young people's engagement with multiple ways of making meaning as a semiotic activity, the seminar explores the potential of multiliteracies, as well as reasons for the exclusion of multimodal and plurilingual texts from traditional school literacy.
UED 71200—Qualitative Data Analysis in Bilingual Education and TESOL, W 415- 615p 3 Credits, Menken [30270] Room 3306
This course is designed to provide both theoretical and practical opportunities to analyze and interpret qualitative data. Although our focus is particularly on educational research in bilingual education and Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), the methods of data analysis we examine are used in many fields and thus would be applicable across disciplines that engage in qualitative research. We introduce various analytical approaches, explore their use, and guide students in applying them to empirical data in order to prepare data for analysis, organize data, interpret data, draw conclusions, and present findings. The use of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software will also be introduced. This is a hands-on course in which students will analyze educational data that has already been collected. Students may analyze their own data (e.g., that was gathered for a course, pilot study, or dissertation) or may analyze data we will provide from the CUNY-New York State Initiative for Emergent Bilinguals (CUNY-NYSIEB) project's data set.
U ED 75200—American Education: Historical, Political, Social and Legal Foundation, M 415 - 615p 3 Credits, Spring [30276]
This course will focus on the history, politics, social and legal aspects of American education. Topics will include:
history and political goals of public schooling; social goals of schooling; equality of opportunity; economic goals of education; equality of educational opportunity; student
t diversity; local control, choice, charter schools, and home schooling; power and control at state and national levels and the profession of teaching. The course will require an essay exploring a topic of interest in American education. Also, students will be required to participate in a discussion forum for each class.
U ED 72200—Mindfulness and STEM Education, T 415 - 615p, 3 Credits, Bayne and Forbes [30272] Room 4422
This course will examine novel, contemporary and foundational methodological approaches and the application of mindfulness into STEM education, and more broadly into the learning sciences (i.e., the science of teaching and learning in formal and informal contexts). An overarching goal of the course is to understand, develop and contribute to a nexus of theories, ideas, research activities and practices that can be used to improve teaching and learning experiences at the student, teacher, teacher education and policy levels via drawing from a sociocultural framework and the Integral Model. Students can look forward to growing as scholars, researchers, global citizens and reform minded education leaders, while they come away from the course experience with an awareness of a) the psychological, social, cultural, and political context of STEM and the learning sciences b) their own values, thoughts, and feelings about teaching urban youth STEM content that is synergistically aligned to mindfulness practices, and c) the psychological, social, cultural, and political context of the lifeworlds of urban youth and their relationships to STEM.
We will teach and use the mindfully infused STEM practices with the intention to share best possible outcomes for urban youth and for society in a holistic way.
Through the Integral model students will (a) be exposed generally to mindfulness, (b) learn about the recent controversies around the use of mindfulness in education and in other institutions, and as a component of this, mindfulness will be examined in relation to science – both the science of mindfulness, and the controversy over why mindfulness proponents believe there is a need turn to the sciences in order to be taken seriously, and (c) examine mindfulness and meditation in integral terms, so as to find a conscious, integrally informed way to use it. The integration will be considered in the context of both being educators and people interested in personally and socially promoting optimal human development, and in working with urban youth, while bringing in mindfulness as a critical, socially conscious force for personal and social change, not just as a technology. We will examine the use mindfulness in dialogue in the classroom, and use it to look at and/practice dialogue around difficult issues like white privilege and Black Lives Matter, and challenging sources of power in society.
UED 75200—Exploring Connection between Disability, Imagination, and Creative Expression, H 6:30 - 8:30p, 3 Credits, Bursztyn [30275] Room 4433
Embracing the ethos of social inclusion this seminar explores ways by which supporting children's imagination and creativity, rather than focusing narrowly on 'normalization', present multiple opportunities for fostering development in diverse contexts. The course addresses emerging challenges to traditional notions of disability and considers their implications for innovative curriculum and therapeutic practices. Multi-media exploration and experiential learning opportunities are integrated into classwork and course assignments.
U ED 73200—School Choice, M 630 - 830p, 3 Credits, Kafka [30273] Room 4433
School "choice," once a buzzword that appealed to a limited set of political players, has now become the norm in most urban school systems in the United States and is rapidly spreading into suburban districts as well. In this seminar we will consider the history and theory behind school "choice" and investigate what it looks like on the ground in various settings – from districtwide choice here in New York City, to vouchers in Milwaukee, to charter schools in the suburbs of Minnesota and Delaware, to choice-based programs in international settings such as Sweden and Chile. Through reading, class discussion, and independent research, students will gain an understanding of the multiple arguments surrounding choice and their respective policy implications.
UED 75200—The Private War on Public Education, W 630 - 830p, 3 Credits, Shor [30274] Room 4433
K-12 public schools are under unprecedented assault from private groups and public officials representing private interests. This private war on public education is advancing disruption and dispossession of public school students, teachers, and families. Privatization of the public schools is one key front in this war, as private charter schools expand widely and capture public school budgets and buildings for their own uses, while not being subject to the same restrictive regulation, diversity, and oversight of the public sector. A second front of the private war on public schools is the massive imposition of online standardized testing. Commercial test vendors are capturing large chunks of school budgets and classroom time in the push to expand annual testing of every child, which no other nation in the world entertains. A third front of this national attack on education involves the replacement of veteran career teachers with quickly-trained recent-college grads who mostly leave teaching in two to three years, brought to school districts by such private operations as Teach for America which assesses fees for each new graduate placed. Powerful foundations, billionaires, and government officials are leading this war against public education, spreading myths of the failure of public education when in fact the high school and college graduate rates in our nation have never been higher. Where did this campaign against the public sector begin? How far has it come? Where will it end? This seminar will trace back 44 years to the legendary "Powell Memo" of 1971 and the educational policies of the Nixon Administration regarding "Career Education," for foundational sources. We will then read forward through the major themes of these campaigns as well as the major episodes of policy reforms, such as the declaration of a bogus "Literacy Crisis" in 1975, the pursuit of "excellence via 'paideia'" in the early 1980s, closely followed by the most-famous federal report on education 'A Nation at Risk' in 1983, after which subject-matter demands predominated starting with E.D. Hirsch's programs for "cultural literacy" after 1987 into the 1990s, leading to the bipartisan Democratic-Republican unity around NCLB in 2001, RTTT in 2009, and CCSS/PARCC 2010 and after. In this most recent period, we will examine growing grass-roots opposition to this long war on public education, including such groups as the Opt-Out Movement, Diane Ravitch's Network for Public Education, and other counters against privatization and standardization.
UED 75200—Childhood and Youth Studies: Approaches and Methods, H, 415-615p, Daitue [30277] Room 3305
This course in Childhood and Youth Studies allows for an in-depth focus on the interaction of theory and method, with sustained attention to the ways in which researchers in the field frame research investigations, develop research questions, design and implement studies. Students will engage with the history and contemporary study of children, childhood and adolescence as defined and supported in organizations and collectives of human development (education, family, social welfare, community organizations, children's rights), public media (children's literature, broadcast, social media), and research settings. The course builds on (but does not require prior attendance in) "Introduction to Childhood and Youth Studies" to encompass sociocultural approaches to childhood, field-based studies with children encountering various kinds of problems, educational opportunities, community interventions, and policies. Methods and measures addressed include traditional and innovative field-based, classroom, archival, digital, and lab studies with a variety of modes and measures, such as observation, natural discursive (verbal, visual, performance), interview, survey, digital, play-based, and co-research with participants in research contexts including ethnography, classroom interaction, community development programs, and digital, print, and performance media. Course activities include readings, discussion, and application to research projects, including students' own research. No prerequisites. Contact email@example.com.
UED 75200—Second Year Research Seminar-DEV –II, T, 1145 - 145 PM, Daiute [30278] Room 3305
This seminar is designed to guide students in designing and implementing pre-dissertation research projects and Masters theses. Coursework involves writing, peer reviewing, and submitting research proposals and report drafts. The course focuses on selecting, developing, reviewing, and in some cases piloting research designs, instruments/measures, protocols, and data analysis strategies to address the research questions. Students' course work involves weekly writing/revising of academic genres (abstract, proposal, literature review, coding manual, research methods section, results summary, and so on); preparing and presenting a formal oral research report (such as with Prezi, Powerpoint, or other presentation tools); and writing a draft report for a specific relevant academic journal. In addition to this extensive writing, coursework involves reading articles about scholarly writing, reading and commenting on classmates' writing. Students from across psychology, urban education, educational psychology, MALS, and other disciplines are welcomed to take the course. (The fall semester of the course is required for some Psychology students.) Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
UED 75200 – The Sociology of Higher Education, H 4:15 – 6:15pm, 3 credits, Wrigley [30739] Room 6114
This course will cover access and equity in higher education, factors shaping student success in terms of academic achievement, graduation, and economic rewards from degrees; and the politics of higher education, including forces that have led to declining funding for public universities. Throughout, we will connect sociological theories with analysis of higher education in the US. We will have a number of guests who will discuss their experiences in addressing university policy issues. The class will be organized as a seminar with discussion throughout.
UED 75200—Participatory Democracy and Social Movement, H 11:45 am - 1:45 pm, Su [30734] Room 6114
This seminar takes a look at what ordinary citizens do to shape public programs and engage in politics— in ways other than voting. We explore the notion that popular participation can make democratic governance more legitimate, fair, and effective. Is participatory democracy— alternatively called bottom-up participation, maximal democracy, or direct democracy— really better? Specifically, we will examine forms and functions of civil society from a comparative perspective by looking at specific examples of (1) participatory institutions (neighborhood councils, urban budgeting, school governance, etc.), (2) participation in non-governmental organizations and development projects, and (3) social movements around the world (landless people's movements, transnational networks, mothers of political dissidents who have "disappeared," AIDS protest groups, etc.). Sometimes, these three categories blur into one another. We will try to focus on case studies in "Global South" middle-income countries like Brazil, Argentina, India, and South Africa, though we also include domestic cases as a point of reference. How much should ordinary citizens participate in policymaking, and how? Under what circumstances? We will pay special attention to equity in participation, uses and construction of identity, and policy impacts in each case.
UED 75200—American Literature, American Learning, W 6:30-8:30PM Davidson and Kelly [CRN 30807] Room 3207
This course has three primary intentions; First, we will consider some foundational texts of American educational and cultural history, investigating the strategies of inclusion and exclusion they deploy. Possible topics include: the seventeenth and eighteenth-century establishment of religiously-affiliated institutions designed to educate clergy, schools which in time became bastions of privilege; the yoking of education and republican principle in antebellum America, particularly as that impulse is registered in Thomas Jefferson's founding of the University of Virginia; the expansion of educational opportunity through the public school movement, as documented in Horace Mann's reports to the Massachusetts Board of Education (1837-48); the rise of politically and ideologically-fraught institutions to serve women, African-Americans, and Native Americans; the expansion of educational franchise marked by the opening in 1847 of CUNY's forerunner, the Free Academy, and by the passage of the First Morrill Act in 1862; and the emergence and consequence of liberal education theory at the end of the nineteenth-century.
Second, we will read contemporary critiques/accounts of American education.
Third, we will experiment with a variety of pedagogical practices that model different relationships between power and knowledge.
The range of texts we might read is very wide indeed; writers under current consideration include: Increase and Cotton Mather, Thomas Shepard, Charles Chauncey, John Witherspoon, Jonathan Edwards, Olaudah Equiano,Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Bronson Alcott, Susanna Rowson, Catherine Beecher, Margaret Fuller, Lucy Larcom, Emma Willard, Horace Mann, Townsend Harris, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Zitkala-Sa, Henry Adams, John Dewey, Ralph Ellison, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Lani Guinier, Christopher Newfield, and Craig Steven Wilder.
Our method is simple: we will have a traditional syllabus for the first half of the course. It will be posted in a public Group on HASTAC. For the midterm, each student will create a syllabus for the second half of the course--also posted on HASTAC. Then, during the scheduled midterm class, Bill and I will leave the room, and the students, having read one another's syllabi, will use a Google Doc and create the rest of the course--the syllabus, final project (which will entail some public contribution to knowledge), any other requirements.
UED 75200 Agency and Social Transformation: Increasing Equity in Education Anna Stetsenko and Eduardo Vianna CRN 30821 Room 5382
The role of agency and agentive positioning in knowledge production and teaching-learning processes remains highly contested across major frameworks at the intersection of education and human development. This course will examine a broad spectrum of approaches – from critical pedagogy and constructivism to learning-as-participation and activist learning – in terms of how they address agency at both individual and collective levels of social dynamics. One of the angles will be to critically address how conceptions about agency in the context of culture and society find their way into the practices of teaching and learning. The goal is to set the stage for teaching-learning in ways that overcome the ethos of adaptation and transmission models to instead provide the tools for learners' agentive positioning as creators and co-contributors to knowledge production and learning within the dynamics of social transformation in classrooms and beyond. In capitalizing on social transformation and activist agency, this exploration will interrogate responsibilities that various models and epistemologies embody and target templates for overcoming taken-for-granted norms, biases, power differentials, and inequalities.
UED 75200 Studying Urban Inequality [CRN 30847] Vesselinov Room 5382
The course aims to engage graduate students in discussions about the main axes of urban inequality: economic, racial/ethnic, spatial, educational and environmental. We will discuss these five aspects of inequality, as well as how each of them is studied, using specific research methods. We will debate when and how scholars use in-depth interviews, surveys, Census data, GIS, various indexes, or social media to address specific research questions. Thus the course will focus on urban inequality in substantive and methodological ways. It is organized in five sections.

KalVista Pharmaceuticals, which focuses on diabetic macular edema (DME), raised £8 million in a series A round from Novo and SV Life Sciences. The company is developing novel, small molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitors.
The firm's pipeline is at the preclinical stage. It targets both intravitreal injection and oral administration routes. KalVista acquired these inhibitors plus all relevant intellectual property from Vantia Therapeutics.
Plasma kallikrein is a circulating serine protease that represents an attractive drug target as it is believed to be central to the pathogenesis of DME within the diseased retina but is not essential for normal function. The detrimental effects of plasma kallikrein on the retina occur independently of VEGF, which has been an area of intense recent interest as a target for treating DME.
However, while intravitreal VEGF inhibitors have shown clear benefit in clinical trials through reducing macular edema and increasing visual acuity, a large proportion of DME patients do not respond fully to VEGF treatment, according to KalVista.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Leake hoping changes help win starting jobPublished 2:27am Thursday, February 21, 2013
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Right-hander Mike Leake cut his long hair before the start of the Cincinnati Reds' spring training, giving himself a much different look.
"I just thought it was time for a change," Leake said. "I couldn't grow it long in high school and college, so I rebelled a little bit."
It's not the only major change for the 25-year-old starter as camp opens. He's no longer assured a spot in the rotation, with left-hander Aroldis Chapman getting an opportunity to compete for the fifth spot.
Expectations for the first-round pick from 2009 have changed. He wasn't expected to make the pitching staff when he reported to spring training as a rookie, but earned the final spot in the rotation and made the jump directly from college to the majors.
He had two winning seasons, going 8-4 with a 4.23 ERA and 12-9 with a 3.86 ERA. Last year, he slipped to 8-9 with a 4.58 ERA in 30 starts. He filled in for the injured Johnny Cueto during the playoffs and gave up five runs, including two homers, during a loss to the Giants.
Overall, his third season was a disappointment.
"I told him the toughest years in the big leagues are the third, fourth and fifth years when everybody knows you," manager Dusty Baker said.
"They know when you're not getting the breaking ball over. They know you follow a change-up with a fastball. Now it's up to you to adjust."
Leake is preparing the same way he has the last three springs, knowing there is a difference in how he is perceived. He also knows that general manager Walt Jocketty would like to have a left-hander in the rotation — Cueto, Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Leake are right-handers. That could give Chapman an edge.
"Whatever happens, happens," Leake said. "You try to learn from what you did or didn't do. For the most part, you just try to move on. You try to get back to where you were mentally or physically, whatever it is that you needed fixing. You don't dwell on bad years."
Although Leake had a losing record last season, he set career highs with 30 starts and 179 innings. More than half of his starts (17) were quality starts. Leake was the victim of blown saves four times and the team had a 16-14 record in games he started.
Leake didn't dwell on the 2012 season over the winter.
"I try not to think about baseball when I'm not playing," Leake said. "There will be times this year where I will go back and look at video, but for the most part it is about finding the edge again. They know what I can do now because I've been here for three years. There is always competition every year. You have to stay healthy and prove that you belong."
The perception that Leake is slipping is overblown, according to Baker.
"There is no room for a marginal or bad year. People want to push you off to the side," Baker said. "Every pitcher I've known had a bad year. Steve Carlton lost 20 games. Greg Maddux had one. People forget those years. Leake is a Maddux type."
Baker reached out to Maddux and had him talk to Leake in the offseason.
"Greg talked to him about some things," Baker said. "I told Leake over the winter I need him to work on some things. I still have confidence in Leake. Two years ago, he was the talk of the town."
Leake is working on becoming more consistent with his pitches. He doesn't have an overpowering fastball, so hitting spots with all his pitches is important. When his control is a little off, he can get into trouble fast.
"I had some bad outings but when you look back, it wasn't that bad a year," he said. "It wasn't as good as the first two years but I still averaged six innings a start."
Although Chapman is preparing as a starter this spring, Baker is holding open the option of moving him back to the closer's role if there's a problem in the bullpen. He's not close to awarding the final spot.
"Right now," Baker said, "we have six starters."
