Danielle Goldberg: Teaching and Life
When Professor Danielle Goldberg, CAS/BA '94, CAS/MA '97, came to American University as an undergraduate, the world of teaching and education had not yet found her. "I knew I liked interacting with people," says Goldberg, "and I thought the way I would do that would be through psychology, specifically child psychology." But as Goldberg worked her way through a psychology major, she began to realize that teaching was the way she wanted to pursue her love of working with children. "I decided that I didn't want to just work with one child at a time," says Goldberg. "I wanted to be able to reach as many children as I could."
Goldberg, who also serves as the School of Education, Teaching, and Health's coordinator of field placements, teaches the introductory education course Schools and Society and coordinates SETH's Field Experience course. She began her career as an elementary school teacher in Montgomery County, Maryland, teaching a wide range of grades at Rock Creek Forest, Rosemary Hills, and Whetstone elementary schools. "My training at AU, specifically the teaching methods block and student teaching, were absolutely invaluable," says Goldberg. "I didn't realize how valuable they were until I was already in a classroom of my own."
However, while Goldberg felt ready for the classroom, she learned a great deal more about the realities of the job while in the position. "One experience that really changed me the most as a teacher occurred right after I came back from maternity leave," she says. "I was dismissing my students for the day, and I was exhausted because I was a new mom and I was back at school full time. It was a Friday afternoon and I went to sit down at my desk just to take a deep breath as all the students left to go home for the weekend. One girl came up to me and was sure to say good-bye and to tell me to have a good weekend. Monday morning came and she didn't come to school."
The girl in Goldberg's class had been killed in a car accident over the weekend. "I think that had the biggest impact on me in so many different ways," says Goldberg. "It made me realize that every moment I am in that classroom, I am there for those students, and I don't have the luxury of sitting down and taking that deep breath no matter how I'm feeling. I need to be there for them, all the time, until the door is closed and the last student is out." After that, Goldberg made sure to say good-bye to all of her students every day.
Goldberg never doubted that she was in the right profession. "I love watching those light bulbs go off. I love being able to reach the children who come to me from previous years who were said to be particular challenges," she says. "And there were some days when I wanted to cry, or pull my hair out. But I was able to wake up the next day and start fresh."
Goldberg's love for teaching made it particularly hard for her to balance her career with her family life. After the birth of her son, Goldberg decided to become a part-time teacher. "I loved Rosemary Hills, the school where I was teaching at the time, but they didn't have any part-time positions," she says. "Part of this balance was that I had to leave the place that I loved working."
She soon moved into a part-time academic support position at Whetstone. Goldberg says that even though her official days may have ended at noon, she continually found herself at school as late as three in the afternoon. "And that was okay," she says. "Teachers always put in time beyond their hours. And I was still able to leave and go get my son and take care of things at home, which as a full-time teacher would have just been too hard for me."
When Goldberg gave birth to twin girls, however, she realized she had a decision to make. After taking three years of childcare leave, Goldberg had to decide whether to go back into the classroom or permanently resign from Montgomery County Public Schools. The day before she would have had to submit a decision, Goldberg found a four-hour per week kindergarten support position at Twinbrook Elementary School. "That was a really difficult year," she says. "I was so disconnected from the building, the children. Being there once a week was not very conducive to building a relationship with the students. It was after that year that I decided that at that point in my life, I couldn't give teaching the attention it deserves."
After seven years dedicated to raising her children, Goldberg knew that while she wasn't ready to go back into the classroom, she wanted to get back into the education world that had so enthralled and fascinated her. After meeting with SETH dean Sarah Irvine-Belson, Goldberg was hired to teach Principles of Educational Assessment and Evaluation to Teach for America corps members; later she was hired as an adjunct professor for undergraduates and as SETH's coordinator of field placements.
As field placement coordinator, Goldberg oversees and coordinates the student teaching and practicum experiences as well as the licensing of pre-service teachers at AU. "I wanted to be involved with helping future teachers become the best that they can be," she says.
Goldberg says that getting the most out of field placement experience means student teachers should not be afraid to jump in and get involved in the classroom from day one. "You have to show the cooperating teacher that you want to be there and are ready to take it on. Whether that means working with a small group or identifying students who need extra help, you have to be willing and ready to get involved," she says.
"I have enjoyed seeing the excitement of students in their student teaching experiences who love the cooperating teachers they're working with and who have been made to really feel like a part of the classroom," says Goldberg. "It has been so rewarding to see students who are not only learning, but are truly enjoying and loving their experiences. Students who will one day be phenomenal teachers themselves!"

Here's a sneak preview of bodypainted swimmer Natalie Coughlin in the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue hitting newsstands, SI.com/Swimsuit, tablets and iPhones today.
Along with LPGA golfer Natalie Gulbis and soccer star Alex Morgan, Coughlin stripped off her swimsuit and posed nude -- albeit with some carefully applied bodypaint.
"It feels like something in between a swimsuit -- and being naked," says Coughlin about the bodypainting experience.
The three-time Olympic gold medalist says she "jumped" at the chance to pose in bodypaint. It took 11 hours to apply, while Coughlin stood the whole time at a photo studio in New York.
"I wasn't really nervous about that aspect of it at all. I was just so honored that they thought of me."
GAME ON: Kate Upton revealed as cover model of SI Swimsuit Issue
TELL US: Are you a fan of SI Swimsuit Issue?
MEET KATE UPTON: 19-year old is former competitive equestrian
Coughlin, who has nearly 37,000 followers on Twitter, says she's happy she posed for what she considers an "iconic" franchise. "It's awesome to be able to say I have done a Swimsuit Issue. When I'm old and wrinkly and out of shape, I'll be very, very proud of that."
SI's Jimmy Traina already unveiled preview pics of Morgan posing in the buff with bodypaint. SI has posted pictures of Gulbis posing in a painted-on green and white bikini.
Coughlin says she hopes more female athletes pose for the issue, which is read by 70 million adults.
"As beautiful as the supermodels are, I think it's great to have different types of bodies," she says. "To have an athletic body in SI Swimsuit Issue, I think, is really important. SI is a sports magazine in the first place. So it's nice to have balance between models and athletes."
Kate Upton was unveiled as cover model during a taping of CBS' The Late Show with David Letterman in New York on Monday night.
This year's issue will feature 18 models as well as three male athletes: Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, NBA star Chris Paul; and tennis star Rafael Nadal.

It is a general term for a number of skin conditions broadly characterized by dry, red, irritated patches of skin. These patches often itch and sometimes have sores that weep or peel. The most common, recognizable and chronic form of eczema is Atopic Dermatitis. Symptoms of this condition often include irritation on the inside of the elbow, the back of the knee, and on the face or hands. The condition is almost always itchy and may present as scaly or crusted skin. The condition is hereditary and appears to be triggered by either external contact or internal ingestion of an allergen. In 90% of these cases, symptoms appear before the age of 5. It affects men and women of all races equally and at any given time, approximately 15 million people in the United States are afflicted with Atopic Dermatitis (1% – 2% of the population). Psoriasis is an auto immune disorder which affects the skin. It is a chronic, non-contagious skin irritation characterized by abnormally rapid growth of skin cells that result in thick scaly patches that can be red or white in color. Scaly patches usually appear on hands, feet, lower back, elbows, knees or scalp. While there is no cure for psoriasis, treatment by over-the-counter products is suitable for mild to moderate cases (up to 10% of the body affected).

Bing's Muse for 'White Christmas' Was Gonzaga, Spokane
During the 1918 Spanish influenza outbreak on campus, Bing Crosby and his older brothers attended Gonzaga High School and Gonzaga University as day students. Bing graduated from high school in 1920 and began to study law at the University. He was involved with many extracurricular activities, such as intramural basketball and football, drama and debate. After discovering that he enjoyed music more than law, Bing left in 1924 for Hollywood with his friend Al Rinker.
Throughout his life, Bing kept close ties to his alma mater and hometown while becoming a nationally recognized entertainer. Gonzaga gave him an honorary degree in 1937. He returned to Spokane numerous times to support charitable events. He invited Gonzaga athletic teams to visit him in Hollywood and asked the Gonzaga Glee Club to perform with him on the radio.
Over the years, Bing credited his success from his Gonzaga education and his childhood experiences. So, when you hear Bing singing "White Christmas," you can rightfully imagine that he was remembering his time in Spokane and at Gonzaga.

Solar energy, provided by the sun, is constantly replenished and will not produce harmful pollution unlike fossil fuels. Solar energy may be used passively, such as to heat and light buildings or technology may be used to harness the sun's energy by collecting it and transforming it to generate electricity. Current technologies include photovoltaic, concentrating solar, solar hot water and more.
Another emerging field of alternative or green power is wind generation. The idea of harnessing the power of the wind is not a new concept, but has been altered and improved by science to harness the maximum energy created by the movement of air through wind currents.
We are working with manufacturers, land developers and general contractors in the wind generation field, which has great potential in the Northwest region.

McDonald's (MCD) finally showed some good follow-through buying price action on Tuesday following Monday's release of its February comparable sales figures. Importantly, the move in MCD stock helped break important technical resistance.
The Golden Arches came in with global comps that were down 0.3%, vs. estimates for McDonald's to post a 0.1% decline. In the U.S., comps also fell more than expected (1.4%) and dipped 2.6% in Asia/Pacific, but sales actually rose 0.6% in Europe, which also coincides with the marginally improving economies on the European continent.
MCD stock didn't move much on the news on Monday, which at the margin was something I took as fairly bullish, knowing that on Tuesday, McDonald's executives were scheduled to speak at a retail conference — and that said conference could well be a catalyst to move MCD. Sure enough, on Tuesday, McDonald's CFO Peter Bensen said the company is looking to return $5 billion to its shareholders this year. He said McDonald's always is looking to optimize its capital structure, and one way to reward shareholders would be to take on more debt to fund more share buybacks.
The result was a 3.8% rally in MCD stock Tuesday that took shares above multimonth technical resistance on a great surge in volume.
MCD Stock Technicals
The multiyear trend in MCD stock remains remarkably intact, where the 2009 uptrend serves as the mother line to respect. On the weekly chart below, note that both the 2012 lows and thus far the 2014 lows bounced off this line. Whenever the current cyclical bull market, which is now five years old, comes to an end, this big-picture support line will be particularly important to reference for both medium-term and active investors and traders.
For now, however, Tuesday's visually clear and obvious breakout out of an 11-month downtrend looks to be setting MCD stock up for more upside in coming weeks and possibly coming months.
As I mentioned above, Monday's weak comps report hardly affected the stock, and that was a positive testament which was confirmed as bullish on Tuesday.
Furthermore, note that on March 3, MCD shares gapped lower and formed a doji candle on the daily chart. The very next day, however, McDonald's stock moved right back up, thus showing that bulls are ready to step in when the stock shows weakness.
With Tuesday's rally, MCD stock is now also back above its red 200-day moving average for the first time since last November, and this momentum now could push the stock into the low $100s, i.e. back towards its early 2013 highs.
Note that MCD stock usually is a fairly slow mover at the margin, so personally I am looking to play the stock via the options table, where I will not only be able to gain leverage but also can manage my risk very nicely.

Christopher Nolan's 'Inception' Gets Comic Prequel
By now we've all seen the trailers for acclaimed director Christopher Nolan's ("The Dark Knight") latest foray into cinema, "Inception," and judging the film based solely on the previews, it looks to be yet another classic Nolan mind-schtup.
For those of you who will be seeing the flick when it opens in theaters tomorrow, or if you're on the fence about dropping your hard-earned dough, Warner Bros. and Yahoo! Movies have a little something you might be interested in — a free "Inception" prequel comic, which you can either view by using Yahoo's wonky online reader (not recommended, just in case that wasn't clear), pick up on the iVerse iPhone and iPad apps, or simply download it as a PDF.Titled "Inception: The Cobol Job" and written by Jordan Goldberg with art by Long Vo, Joe Ng and Crystal Reid of UDON Studios, the 34 page story does it's darndest to try and explain what the film's all about, which — spoiler alert — seems to be kinda like "The Matrix." Granted, we're probably way off base with that comparison (remember, this is Nolan we're talking about here. Dude's got chops!), but read it and see what you think — that comments section is down there for a reason, after all.
"Inception" opens Friday, July 16 in plain ol' theaters and super-awesome IMAX, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page and a boatload of other big names.

The Japanese really think of the weirdest stuff!
Although we have to say that this selection of sleeping bags, inspired by bread products obviously, is something that we won't mind having at home. And only because we think that bread is godsend!
Sold at Felissimo, these sleeping bags feature different breakfast bread —- croissant, toast, omelets and pastries — which the Japanese may find cute and amusing, but could be definitely weird for a lot of people.
Sleeping on these bags elicit a feeling of fluffy and lightness, according to the website, and buyers even have a choice of blankets in red and brown (to represent strawberries and chocolate spreads) to keep them warm and cozy.
So, what do think? Does this pass your taste?

And they want someone—either you, or your employer—to pay taxes on any such attractive amenities.
Thank the government who paid for it by giving their employer a tax break for doing so.
"Clearly, the employer lobby has been effective with Sen. Baucus," says Jessica Arons of the Center for American Progress.
Or embrace a suspension a full payroll tax holiday for every employer AND employee in the nation.
Historically, and today, how well a home care worker is treated depends entirely on the employer.
She lost the train back one Sunday night and was too terrified of her employer to dare ring him up after hours.
I know my place, and I always expect to do just what my employer expects of me.
Certainly the best way to get the truth regarding the employer is to interview his wage workers.
It is a far cry from satisfying an employer to pleasing the public.
On one occasion, Cox was required by his employer to attend to his—Perkins'—garden which was overrun with weeds.

Guitar players you should know: Gary Moore
If Gary Moore has a musical comfort zone, it's definitely the blues. The versatile, Irish-born guitarist spent years successfully building a hard rock resume with gritty rockers Thin Lizzy and through volumes of his own raunchy solo work. But while his 1990 release, Still Got the Blues, surprised some fans, he was… Read More →
