Reform Rabbi's Ignorance of Torah
M., 10/29/12 common era When I was a kid, my maternal grandmother and my father died about 3 months apart. I asked the local Reform rabbi whether they were in Heaven. His reply was that the Torah doesn't speak of an afterlife but that the "good deeds" that a Jew performs while alive survive his/her death. This "rabbi" was plainly ignorant of some Torah texts. It would have been different if he had cited them and then added that modernly, we know better etc.

NP Rank:
New Yorkers Tired of Bending Over; 'Stop and Frisk' Under Attack
New York — The heat is on the "stop and frisk" powers of the NYPD. Heavy political pressure has prompted Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to develop alternatives to a procedure that allows police to detain and search anyone, at any time, without any cause.
"Our original goal was to do in New York City what the TSA has done in the nation's airports," Kelly said. "That is, create a prison-like environment where everyone is suspect and only the authorities have any rights. Stop and frisk is ideal for that. It's like putting the entire city under arrest."
The Commissioner lamented that "stop and frisk" probably would not survive a Fourth Amendment challenge. That Constitutional safeguard protects citizens from unreasonable searches. "Unfortunately, the founding fathers wanted to specifically prevent precisely what we're doing. What were they thinking?"
Kelly noted that he is working with the New York City Department of Alibis to create alternatives to "Stop and Frisk" that might pass Constitutional muster. His favorites:
Hide and Seek
Suspects would be given a head start of up to 10 Mississippi's before police could open fire on them. "This adds a sporting aspect to each encounter, which I think the courts are going to love," Kelly noted.
Live and Learn
Would allow the arresting patrolman to apply his nightstick to the suspect's head until the would-be criminal has "learned his lesson." Comments Kelly: "Some cases will be harder to crack than others."
Shuck and Jive
The cops would arrest the suspect for a long list of trumped up charges. The joke would be revealed, but only after the suspect spends a few years in Rikers. "This is a little like Candid Camera, but without the fun."
Dine and Dash
The suspect would be taken to the nearest doughnut shop or diner for his last meal. "The perp would be able to order anything on the menu, with the exception of sugary drinks," said the commissioner.
Crash and Burn
Police would simply run down the suspect with their patrol car. "Then it's Geico's problem," Kelly declared.

(The Record, Bergen County, NJ) -- It's a bill kids would approve: Lawmakers want to mandate recess for all public school students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
Supporters say children need to get moving, and requiring at least 20 minutes a day for recess will help ease the nation's obesity crisis. But some North Jersey school officials say students already have playtime. And while they agree exercise is helpful, they are wary of another state mandate.
Kids spend too much time watching television and playing video games when they should be running around outdoors, says Sen. Shirley Turner, D-Mercer.
"Our children are very sedentary," Turner told a legislative panel considering her bill.
Turner is sponsoring legislation that would require that students in kindergarten through fifth grade get a 20-minute recess every day. The bill made it through a Senate committee on Thursday.
New Jersey school administrators say they support recess, but a state mandate goes too far.
"It's a shame that we have to legislate recess now. We are over- legislating everything in our schools," said Larry Hughes, the interim superintendent of the Montvale school district.
Hughes, who used to serve as the legislative representative of the Bergen County Association of Superintendents, said he was confident other administrators could address the need for recess and other developmental programs without the state's involvement.
In Ridgefield, where students have recess built into their 40- minute lunch period, interim Superintendent Harry Groveman said he, too, was wary of a new state requirement.
"We probably cover the 20 minutes, but I would probably be opposed to the legislation, based on the fact that it's another mandate that should be left to local control," he said.
The New Jersey Department of Education does not keep track of how many schools provide recess, and it does not have regulations related to play time, says Barbara Morgan, a department spokeswoman.
In addition to mandating the 20-minute recess, the bill says no student may be denied recess "for any reason." It also prohibits scheduling recess immediately before or after physical education classes.
Turner, the bill's sponsor, said the requirements are necessary because children need more time to exercise and play.
"They sit in front of their TV sets for hours at a time, in front of their computers, in front of their electronic games, and they do very little in the way of physical activity," she said.
The legislation passed unanimously in the Senate's Education Committee on Thursday. It has not yet been introduced in the Assembly.
School representatives told the committee they supported the idea of recess in every school, but they asked for more flexibility.
"We believe that there may be instances where recess should be denied," said Jennifer Keyes-Maloney, of the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association. For example, she said, recess may need to be withheld for children caught bullying other students.
"What we're asking for is some discretion here," she said.
Sharon Seyler, a representative of the New Jersey School Boards Association, said the state also needs to consider whether the recess requirement would add costs by lengthening the school day or forcing schools to hire more staff.
Turner said she was considering an amendment to her bill that would allow teachers more discretion in giving students recess. And she emphasized the importance of ensuring every child gets exercise.
"We need to go back to the days when children would be required to have recess," Turner said. "Everyone deserves recess."
Joyce Hemphill, a University of Wisconsin expert on play and a board member of the American Association for the Child's Right to Play, said advocates' push for recess in recent decades has not made as much headway as they hoped. In part, she blamed some schools' reaction to the federal No Child Left Behind law of 2002, which threatened sanctions on schools that failed to meet goals for test scores.
"Some schools started to adopt the idea that more seat time was more learning time," she said. "They were putting children in math or reading all day long."
Hemphill said recess breaks are important for children of all ages, as well as adults, and cited Google's encouragement of unstructured free time during the work day for employees. Beyond the physical and social benefits, she said, "it allows the brain to process information. If you're stuck on a problem, if you take a break it gets rid of those dead ends so you can take it from a fresh perspective. And the movement of play reduces stress."
Sen. Michael Doherty, R-Warren, said he voted for the measure partly because of his fond memories of recesses spent on an "asphalt patch" near his school.
"We'd go out to play kickball," he said. "It was the best. It was awesome."
The New Jersey Education Association has not taken a position on the bill, said Christy Kanaby, the group's associate director of public relations.
"However, we believe that every elementary school child should have recess, and we're working with the sponsors to make sure the bill is as strong as it can be," Kanaby wrote in an email.
And not all administrators said they opposed the mandate.
Englewood Cliffs Superintendent Robert Kravitz, whose district already has 20 minutes of recess during lunch, applauded the proposed state law, citing studies showing that physical activity can help children learn better.
"I'm absolutely for it," he said. "Every child needs some type of movement and exercise during the day. I truly believe it's important."

State of the Arts
Have you ever wanted to share the stage with a musical act, but not in the doe-eyed, finger-snapping way Courteney Cox did in Bruce Springsteen's "Dancin' in the Dark" music video? The good people at Dartmouth College's Hopkins Center for the Arts [1]are making participation possible with this summer's new "Music Box in the Moore" series, where the worst seat in the house is a mere 14 feet from the talent.
The three very different performances will take place in the Moore Theater, a 480-seat venue now reduced to 100 onstage seats that surround the performers on three sides. Those who wish to get even closer can attend the free after-hours lounge following the 9 p.m. shows and mingle with the musicians.
"I think a lot of people feel that they roll up the sidewalks here in Hanover at 9 o'clock," says HOP publicity coordinator Rebecca Bailey. "We're sort of trying to offer people a little more nightlife."
The intimate setting is perfect for the performers chosen by the Hop's program director, Margaret Lawrence, who travels around the world making note of acts she wants to bring to the Upper Valley. This time, her list includes Nordic bluegrass, a comedic take on industrial techno and glam-punk, and a solo cellist invoking the open road.
The first show, on July 14, features QQQ [2], a quartet composed of two married couples who play the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, viola, acoustic guitar and drums. Their sound is an intriguing mix of classical strings layered over two- and four-beat rhythms, served up-tempo with improvisation and surprising changes of direction and tone. Think Bill Monroe crossed with a Norwegian wedding band and you begin to get the idea. "They have a really unique sound," says Bailey.
You might say the second act, arriving July 23, is intentionally non-unique. It's the brother-and-sister team of Die Roten Punkte [3], which in German means "The Red Dots" and is designed to remind you of Jack and Meg White of The White Stripes. Their music, however, is pure parody — of the driving, mechanistic sounds of Kraftwerk and the heavy-handed emo of The Cure. "They've been playing fringe festivals all over the place," notes Bailey, "so they're really used to interacting with an audience and shaking it up."
The Hop may have saved the best for last: cellist Erik Friedlander [4] on August 1. Friedlander will be debuting a multimedia performance that features songs from his Block Ice and Propane album synchronized with projections of his father's photographs from a 1960s cross- country family road trip. The music is rich, resonant Americana, inspired by snapshots of the untrammeled beauty of the West.
But these aren't dusty Kodachromes and a rickety slide projector; Erik is the son of celebrated photographer Lee Friedlander [5], recent subject of a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, whose black-and-white images embody an unsympathetic realism similar to that of Diane Arbus. To improve on the no-frills show he introduced at Joe's Pub in New York City, Friedlander teamed up with filmmaker Bill Morrison. Morrison will direct the show's visual component, which he'll fine-tune with Friedlander during the summer, perhaps adding a set and more images.
Whatever the two cook up, it's sure to be more fun than a long trip in the back seat of the family station wagon.

On Monday, the Supreme Court, ruling on an emergency petition, declined to do the right thing and hear a case challenging the massive government surveillance of Americans, revealed by the leaks from Edward Snowden. For the time being, the court acceded to the Obama administration's argument that it has the legal right to continue its unprecedented bulk collection of American phone records without any restraint. That throws the ball back to Congress, where a historic battle, crossing party lines, is already underway.

Looks like the holidays are going to be, shall we say, a bit awkward for the Cheney family.
Actually, more than a bit. A feud between the former vice president's daughters emerged into public view when Liz Cheney, who is trying to win a Senate seat from Wyoming by pandering to the far-right Republican base, went on "Fox News Sunday" and declared her opposition to gay marriage.
At the time New Jersey established a ban on fracking, it seemed symbolic, much like the moratorium in Vermont, which has no economically recoverable natural gas; the Marcellus Shale, primarily in New York and Pennsylvania, doesn't extend into New Jersey.
New York has a moratorium on fracking until a health impact statement is completed.
As historians and journalists downgrade the legacy of President John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his death this week, ordinary citizens around the globe will remember a cherished figure.
It's not very often that someone starts his career as a geologist and then winds up as governor, but John Hickenlooper, the governor of Colorado, can make that claim.
"We had fracking when I was a working geologist in 1981," he told me Monday. "It was very primitive. What really changed the world is when we got horizontal drilling. It was a technique that allowed you to recover a lot more natural gas."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is thinking about the Republican presidential nomination. Then again, considering a particular segment of the electorate whose embrace he'll need to get it, he'd best think twice.
I speak of the Thirders, a hard-right bloc from whom a bloke like Christie is — let's be honest — irreconcilably different.
If Liz Cheney, whose bid for the Senate has always had a stench of extreme opportunism, wants to discuss traditions and values, I'm all for it. Let's start here: Isn't there a tradition of close-knit family members' taking care not to wound one another? Is there not value in that?
Last week's transformation of San Francisco into Gotham City, all in service of a 5-year-old with leukemia who wanted to play out a superhero fantasy, was a testament to the power of social media. Thousands of people, including President Obama, joined the Make-A-Wish Foundation to ensure that Miles Scott's big day would be unforgettable.
Spend any time around monetary officials and one word you'll hear a lot is "normalization." Most though not all such officials accept that now is no time to be tightfisted, that for the time being credit must be easy and interest rates low. Still, the men in dark suits look forward eagerly to the day when they can go back to their usual job, snatching away the punch bowl whenever the party gets going.

Cover bands are big business...and these are the biggest
The Flaming Lips' cover version of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" is out on vinyl in April and disc in May, and the band is even performing it in its entirety live in Central Park, the Bonnaroo Festival and various other venues this summer. But they're not about to quit their day job for Floyd. The Lips will leave that to these notorious tribute bands (like ABBA tribute act Björn Again, pictured), for whom homage is a full-time job. And who have actually become big business in their own right, bringing reliable showmanship, smarts and popular song catalogs to paying fans looking to hear music they love in the flesh—even if that flesh is someone else's.—Scott Thill, Special to Metromix

Best performance by an actor -- comedy or musical
If only the great comedians didn't have to go up against the great musical performers, because there's only one leading man in this category who's both funny and sings: Jack Black for "Bernie."
Black's competition includes Hugh Jackman ("Les Miserables"), Bradley Cooper ("Silver Linings Playbook"), Ewan McGregor ("Salmon Fishing in the Yemen") and Bill Murray ("Hyde Park on Hudson").
Jackman will win for his portrayal of Jean Valjean, but the most truly insane performance of the year belongs to Cooper. DiCaprio called it "unbelievable." Josh Brolin called Cooper "amazing." We call him another should-be winner.
Best performance by an actress -- comedy or musical
Jennifer Lawrence, Cooper's "Silver Linings" co-star, has some stiff competition in this category -- Meryl Streep ("Hope Springs"), Maggie Smith ("Quartet"), Judi Dench ("The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel") and Emily Blunt ("Salmon Fishing in the Yemen").
Despite facing off against such heavyweights, Lawrence should win for her portrayal of a promiscuous widow with a depressive disorder who ropes Cooper into a dance competition. "When she came over the transom with her Skype audition, I was like, 'Oh my God, who is this?' " director David O. Russell said. "Even though I had seen her on the Oscar circuit (for 'Winter's Bone'), I never understood who she was, and she showed up on Skype dressed as the character and knocked me out. She's a weapon waiting to be fired."
Best performance by an actress in a supporting role
And here the separation between drama and comedy/musical ends -- too bad for anyone who isn't Anne Hathaway ("Les Miserables").
Hathaway's competitors include Amy Adams ("The Master"), Sally Field ("Lincoln"), Helen Hunt ("The Sessions") and Nicole Kidman ("The Paperboy"). Kidman is the only one here who didn't make it in the Oscar nominations -- Jacki Weaver ("Silver Linings Playbook") replaced her for the nod.
Only Field seems geared up to give Hathaway a run for her money. Her turn as Mary Lincoln was a tour de force.
Best performance by an actor in a supporting role
The supporting actor nominees are Alan Arkin ("Argo"), Tommy Lee Jones ("Lincoln"), Philip Seymour Hoffman ("The Master") and Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio (both for "Django Unchained"), with only the latter (and the youngest) not receiving an Oscar nod this year.
Jones is the clear favorite for his portrayal of Thaddeus Stevens, with Hoffman not far behind as the charismatic leader of a cult. But Waltz's performance as a German bounty hunter in the Deep South had more meat to it.
Best animated feature film
There's no clear consensus in this category on which movie should win. "Brave," "Frankenweenie," "Hotel Transylvania," "Rise of the Guardians" and "Wreck-It Ralph" all have a good shot, even if "Brave" might the closest thing to a favorite.
But "Frankenweenie," Tim Burton's passion project that began as one of the director's first short films before becoming a full-length feature almost 30 years later, is the only one to have been part of a popular, if macabre, Museum of Modern Art exhibition.
Best foreign-language film
With the Oscar nominations, "Amour" broke out of the foreign-language category and infiltrated the best picture field, so it's a clear favorite here -- one that should win.
Although the film is an Austrian entry, thanks to director Michael Haneke, "Amour" is in French, and its lovely competitors include "A Royal Affair" (Denmark), "Kon-Tiki" (Norway), "The Intouchables" (France) and "Rust and Bone" (also France).
If there is an upset, expect it to be from one of the French rivals since all three deal with the bonds between disabled people and the caretakers who love them (in different ways ).
Best original score
John Williams ("Lincoln"), Dario Marianelli ("Anna Karenina"), Alexandre Desplat ("Argo"), Mychael Danna ("Life of Pi") and Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil (all for "Cloud Atlas") are the nominees.
Williams -- the most celebrated of the bunch -- will win for creating a score accurate to the musical sensibilities of the 19th century. But the "Cloud Atlas" trio had to create something described in David Mitchell's book as a piece for six instrumental voices, with each solo interrupted by its successor, only to be recontinued in order (just like the book and movie's plot).
Put another way, that's six separate plots in six separate genres, serving as the connective tissue of the larger story. It should win, hands down.

From the comfort of the driving seat, taxi driver Fin Hall offers a street level view at issues affecting transport and infrastructure in Aberdeen.
The present incumbents of the council chambers show no sign of letting up in their pursuit of power and control, while making the city look ridiculous.
They started off as soon as they won the election by overturning the result of the UTG referendum, and yes, I know the weighted arguments behind it, and I would have voted "no" if I had been eligible to vote.
Then they continued by overturning almost every decision that the previous city leaders had implemented.
One of these was the building of the replacement stadium for Aberdeen Football Club at Loirston.
Now whether this would have been the ideal place for the ground is an argument for another day, although I suspect the majority of fans think it is the wrong place; but permission had already been given.
Meanwhile, on all the available land beside where the new stadium would have been, there are hundreds of new houses being built and loads of new offices and industrial premises. Considering that the reason given for the final blocking of the stadium plans was access, it borders on the insane that all that other building is going ahead.
It could, and most probably will, cause more congestion and traffic flow problems at least 5 days a week, whereas the football traffic would have been once very two weeks at the most.
The next act of lunacy that our city fathers have pushed through is that, by June 2017, all taxis in Aberdeen will have to be wheelchair accessible.
They are doing this under the banner of the Equality Act. What it will in fact do is make things more difficult for the average taxi passenger. As a taxi driver of more than 36 years' experience, I can tell you that taxi companies get more requests for saloon cars than they do for wheelchair vehicles.
If you look on taxi ranks at most times, the majority of the cars are of the wheelchair-accessible type anyway.
The problem lies not with the amount of the appropriate type of cars, but with some of the drivers who operate such a motor vehicle.
Make no mistake, they know the rules when they come into this job.
If they are so lazy and selfish that they find any excuse not to get out of their car to assist their wheelchair-bound passenger, then their license to operate should be taken off them.
By having all cars wheelchair-friendly however, more people will be disenfranchised than will be helped. There are more people whose disability does not involve being wheelchair-bound than there are the opposite.
People with short legs, broken legs, back problems and other hindrances are totally unable to get into higher vehicles such as those that will available in a few years' time. Some customers have already intimated to me that they will most likely be unable to go out when this comes to pass.
The only way then to get a taxi of the lower, saloon type when you come off a train or a plane, or even when you are coming home from shopping, will be to phone up and book a private hire taxi. And at peak times, usually from about 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays, most offices are already fully booked with account customers, and don't take in further bookings.
As to getting picked up from the station, well we all know what a farce that already is. The general pickup point from there is in from the Station Hotel, so getting to there for somebody of less mobility, complete with their suitcase is not going to be at all easy, in fact it will sometimes be impossible.
Another downside will be several drivers of an older age, who may just work off the ranks on a part-time basis, having to give up their work. The cost of these vehicles is prohibitive, they can cost as much as £28,000. This is hardly justifiable for those that may just work at the weekends.
That will leave a shortfall of taxis working the ranks at certain times.
So Aberdeen, a city which has a nationwide reputation for having the best and most comfortable taxis, will be overrun with ' ice cream van ' taxis. Gone will be your comfy ride to the airport or further, in a Mercedes or a CRV or a BMW etcetera, and instead you will rattle about on your own in the rear of an ugly uncomfortable people mover.
Sadly though, the licensing board rarely if ever listens to those with knowledge and experience of the job, and just charges ahead with ludicrous plans to satisfy its members' already over-inflated egos.

September 30, 2010 Haiti 2010 © Katrijn Van Giel *The following was adapted from MSF's report, "Emergency Response After the Haiti Earthquake." In its aftermath, the January 12 earthquake in Haiti left not only millions of dazed, injured, and displaced people but also an extensive litany of challenges for the relief effort. Although Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was already in the country, the organization nonetheless saw its own structures damaged and was stretched to its limits by the extent of the medical needs. The organization's financial resources were generously augmented by millions of individuaI donors, but the pressure on its medicaI, technicaI, and managerial staff was unprecedented. Though the full scale of the damage took some time to reveal itself, it was clear from the outset that the medical needs were immense. Soon, though, MSF grew concerned that the funds pouring in from supporters old and new and earmarked specifically for th is emergency threatened to eclipse what MSF could foresee spending. MSF takes the expectations of its donors seriously and, given the uncertainty about its ability to use the amounts projected to come in, decided in the days following the disaster to discontinue active fundraising for Haiti. MSF continued to welcome donations but called upon donors to support the organization by giving to the Emergency Relief Fund, which allows MSF to respond rapidly to emergencies around the globe. Haiti 2010 © Francois Servranckx/MSF That decision has helped MSF's ability to respond to other emergencies around the world and has not hampered its ability to respond to needs in Haiti. As of May 31, MSF had received around $122 million earmarked for emergency relief in Haiti and had spent nearly $71.5 million on assistance to the Haitian population. MSF projects that spending will reach approximately $120 million in Haiti by year's end. Any remaining earmarked funds will support MSF's ongoing commitment to the victims of the earthquake in 2011. Examples of ActivitiesAmong the large scope of MSF activities in Haiti, as of May 31, more than $14.6 million has been spent on surgical care for Haitians injured in the earthquake. At least $5.3 million was spent on maternal health services, which were already extremely limited before the earthquake struck. Roughly $11.3 million was spent on shelter and related items in an attempt to improve living conditions for some of the hundreds of thousands of people whose homes and livelihoods were destroyed. MSF also invested substantial amounts in other medical and relief activities, including primary care, mental health support, and provision of water and sanitation. Operating such emergency health programs requires a range of investments. Given the devastation in Port-au-Prince and beyond, including the near-total destruction of many health centers and hospitals, nearly 30 percent of MSF's expenditures as of May 31 were devoted to logistics. This involves, but is not limited to, the rehabilitation or construction of medical facilities and the ongoing maintenance of health structures, including water and electricity provision. Without this investment, medical staff would not be able to operate. A further 16 percent of MSF's expenditures have been attributed to medical materials and supplies. Haiti 2010 © Kadir Van Lohuizen/NOOR Because of the large number of essential emergency workers and vast amount of relief goods brought into Haiti, transportation accounted for 23 percent of the total spending. At one point, the MSF team totaled over 3,500 Haitian and international emergency personnel-doctors, nurses, logisticians, administrators, drivers, project coordinators, and others. At the end of June, MSF still had more than 3,000 staff on the ground, over 90 percent of them Haitians. The costs related to employing personnel accounted for 28 percent of the money spent. Future NeedsOne immediate challenge for MSF has been to create more robust medical facilities to replace those damaged in the quake and the tented structures that have been in use up to now-a process that is well underway. There are uncertainties around the speed of reconstruction and the extent to which other organizations will remain involved. There are concerns about the continued physical exposure of so many people in Port-au-Prince and about the potential for political and criminal violence, which could be exacerbated by frustration about the slow pace of progress, particularly around shelter for the displaced. All of this has reinforced the urgency of MSF's planning and provision for the possibility of outbreaks of violence, disease, nutritional crises, and future natural disasters. MSF is immensely grateful to the millions of people around the world who have helped finance the organization's relief work in Haiti. It is already clear that MSF will be making a very substantial commitment to Haiti in the years to come. |

It might be even better if Alicization is made into 1 hour OVAs... because such an arc deserves the animation quality and budget of a OVA project... I mean, after watching Unicorn, I realized that the best quality comes from OVAS and movies.

As a child, the Fourth of July was always bittersweet for me. I loved the fireworks, the cookouts, and time spent with family, but what it represented on the calendar was a different story.
In the small white box of my daily planner it read: "Independence Day." But in my mind, those words translated to: Summer is half over. Even now, as an adult, I get that wow-it's-already-the-Fourth-of-July-feeling when that date arrives on the calendar—and it makes me feel a little sad.
And this summer that melancholy feeling hit me harder than in past years … possibly because I've been living up to my "Hands Free Summer Contract" and soaking up countless moments that matter in the process.
But I believe in being real in this space I call "Hands Free Mama," so here's some reality …

The Alternative Routes to Certification (ARC) program at Seattle Pacific University integrates a residency teacher certification program with a master of arts degree in the elements of teaching (M.A.T.). The ARC program is designed to prepare students who already have a bachelor's degree to teach. The program is to be completed on a full-time basis. Throughout the program, students receive a broad base of information about education, the nature of students, society, and the teaching profession as a whole. In addition, they gain skills and knowledge in the use of instructional and management strategies. The certification component of the program is a one-year, internship-based program of study leading to recommendation for Washington state residency certification. All credits are offered at the graduate level and are adaptations of courses offered in SPU's current master of arts in teaching program. Program Highlights Students continue throughout the year with internship experiences and additional coursework. The coursework involves field-based, online, and traditional classes. The traditional on-campus classes meet one night a week from approximately 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The online courses allow students to engage in a virtual learning environment and benefit from its asynchronous discussion formats. Field-based classes allow students to take concepts under consideration into the field and to study directly from their internship site. During this time, they are required to carry out observations and engage professionals in the field in meaningful, learning-focused discussions. The ARC Internship. The internship is a vital, integrative experience in which students are paired with a mentor-teacher and conduct supervised teaching in a school setting over the course of an entire school year (three quarters, September through June, five days a week). Typically, the internship begins with an extended period of observation, one-on-one, and small-group work. This leads to individual lesson and unit instruction. Throughout the school year, the intern takes on additional teaching responsibilities so that by Winter-Spring quarter, the intern has assumed responsibility for his or her mentor teacher's instructional load. Interns are also expected to help out during after-school hours just as any new teacher would. Completion of the M.A.T. master's degree. Five non-certification classes (15 credits) comprise the master's degree component of the program. The master's component is typically completed during the summer immediately following the certification component, or it may be completed after the student begins his or her teaching career. It includes classes in educational inquiry, educational technology, and moral issues in education. Students who already have a master's degree when entering the program will need to complete only the certification component to receive a second master's degree. Advantages of the ARC program:
Completed applications will include the following:
APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR THE 2007 ARC PROGRAM IS FEBRUARY 14, 2007. The certification component of the program cost (2006-07) is $15,000. Financial Aid is available for qualified applicants through Student Financial Services online or by calling 206-281-2061. Paraprofessionals, instructional assistants, and conditionally certified teachers are encouraged to apply to the Alternative Routes to Certification program as they may be able to use their positions as internships. For your general reference, click here for a Web site can be particularly useful as you consider the teacher certification process in the state of Washington.

text: Home Politics What's Obama Done for Black People? Nothing And that's the way it should be. Save the criticism for his policies that affect all Americans. By: David Swerdlick Posted: June 5 2012 12:41 AM 0 Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty Images (The Root) -- Rick Santorum once said that John F. Kennedy's 1960 address on religious freedom made him want to "throw up." But with the notable exception of the former senator and onetime GOP presidential contender, it would be tough finding a Catholic American who'd look back on the tenure of our first Catholic president and assess that he didn't do enough for Catholics. But there's no shortage of folks who say that President Barack Obama -- our first black president -- hasn't done enough for African Americans. So to help them out, I'll sum up exactly what Obama has done for black people: Nothing. And that's exactly the way it should be. But not according to Columbia University's Fredrick Harris, who lamented at great length in Friday's Washington Post that "far from giving black America greater influence in U.S. politics, Obama's ascent to the White House has signaled the decline of a politics aimed at challenging racial inequality head-on." He rips Obama for the "disparities in the criminal justice system; the disproportionate impact of the foreclosure crisis on communities of color; black unemployment; and the persistence of HIV/AIDS," writing that "even as we watch him go out of his way to lift up other marginalized groups (such as gay Americans) and call for policies that help everyone, we've accepted his silence on issues of particular interest to us." But missing the irony of his own critique, Harris never seems to consider that "policies that help everyone" are precisely the point for a president. And he appears to be missing the very real triumph of a democracy in which Obama endorsed same-sex marriage and repealed "Don't ask, don't tell" a half-century after Kennedy telephoned to support Martin Luther King Jr. after his release from Birmingham City Jail. To suggest, though, that over the last four years Obama should have pushed for policies specifically targeted toward black America is to misunderstand the Obama presidency. On Sunday the Post's Jonathan Capehart offered an exhaustive rebuttal to Harris, pointing out that Obama ramped up his Office of National AIDS Policy, signed the Fair Sentencing Act and created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- needed, arguably, by black mortgage holders more than anyone. But Capehart left out the big picture about both Obama and the black electorate: that African Americans, including Obama, are concerned with more than just black issues. Like other Americans, black voters wanted Osama bin Laden found and killed. Black voters supported the GM bailout, celebrated the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and were relieved to see their 401(k)s come back to life in the last few years. Black unemployment remains staggeringly high. But for a decade, black unemployment has exceeded the national average by anywhere from 3.7 to 6.9 percent. So if Obama has failed on employment, then call it a failure on employment -- not a failure on black employment. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Federal prosecutors proposed settling a criminal insider-trading case against hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors for $1.5 billion to $2 billion. Colin Barr reports on the News Hub.
Federal prosecutors, seeking to cap a major chapter in an insider-trading crackdown, proposed settling a criminal case against hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors LP for $1.5 billion to $2 billion, people familiar with the case said.
At a meeting late last week at the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan, SAC lawyers argued for a lower settlement amount—and that a separate $616 million civil regulatory penalty SAC agreed to pay earlier this year be deducted from any criminal sanction, according to the people.
SAC lawyers are expected to present a counteroffer to prosecutors in coming weeks, the people said. Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, declined to comment, as did spokesmen for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and SAC.
SAC Chairman Steven Cohen Bloomberg News
The negotiations between SAC and the government still are at an early stage; as part of a deal, the government would insist on a guilty plea by SAC, according to the people. Steven A. Cohen, SAC's high-profile founder, hasn't been personally accused of wrongdoing. The people said that an investigation into his activities is continuing. Both Mr. Cohen and SAC have denied wrongdoing.
Mr. Cohen is among the most renowned investors on Wall Street, with annual returns averaging nearly 30% since the firm's inception in 1992.
An indictment, unveiled in a New York federal court on July 25, accused SAC of engaging in insider trading "that was substantial, pervasive and on a scale without known precedent." Prosecutors accused SAC of allowing multiple portfolio managers and analysts to obtain or trade on inside information on various stocks while employed there. In a related civil action, prosecutors sought forfeiture of SAC's assets of roughly $10 billion.
With his future as a hedge-fund titan on the line, Mr. Cohen, 57 years old, has told SAC employees he will do everything he can to protect their jobs and keep SAC running normally. No major U.S. financial firm has ever survived a criminal indictment.
Each morning, Mr. Cohen shows up at the firm's Stamford, Conn., headquarters overlooking Long Island Sound around 8 a.m. and sits at his trading desk in the middle of the 20,000-square-foot floor. His demeanor is unchanged since his legal troubles intensified, people close to him say.
SAC investors have requested the return of about $5 billion of the roughly $15 billion in assets the firm had at the start of the year. The outflow is expected to continue, say people close to the matter. Most of the remaining money is from Mr. Cohen and employees—more than $8 billion, these people say. He is considering having his hedge fund borrow more money so that he would have more money to invest, associates say.
He has told his staff he is considering converting the fund to a "family office" to manage his own portfolio. If SAC were to plead guilty as part of any settlement, it could be barred from acting as an investment adviser, preventing it from managing other people's money, legal experts say. Depending on the terms of any deal, such a family office could allow Mr. Cohen and his traders to stay active in the markets.
Many of his top traders and portfolio managers have remained loyal, rebuffing overtures from other hedge funds and financial firms, according to people close to the discussions. Top SAC executives have told outside contacts they feel secure at least through the end of the year. Some senior managers have said that they plan to stay put because of strong loyalty to Mr. Cohen, according to people briefed on the discussions.
People close to Mr. Cohen say he has told top-performing portfolio managers they can expect to receive their usual payouts—20% to 25% of profits from the funds they manage—plus a few extra percentage points as a sweetener. Some of these top employees have decided that a shift to a family office wouldn't dramatically affect their jobs, the people close to Mr. Cohen say. Lower-level portfolio managers, however, could be let go, these people say.
In an effort to boost morale, Mr. Cohen arranged in July for a local "Super Duper Weenie" hot-dog truck to swing by SAC's office and dispense free food.
The day after the SAC indictment was announced, Mr. Cohen gathered with friends at his summer estate in East Hampton, N.Y. As guests munched on finger foods, the embattled billionaire played poker, cheerfully chiding others about their play, complaining about prosecutors and taking some ribbing about his legal predicament, according to a friend.
In a brief interview, Mr. Cohen said: "There was no poker game. I haven't played poker in a long time."
Mr. Cohen has told friends and associates that he intends to try to settle the criminal charges against his firm with the goal of keeping it alive.
As recently as May, SAC representatives told clients and prospective investors that Mr. Cohen didn't want to give up managing outside money, according to people who have discussed the matter with SAC representatives.
His view was that converting to a family office would hurt the firm's ability to keep talented portfolio managers, who are attracted to growing organizations that are raising new money, these people say. Outside money generates fees that help pay bonuses. His position seems to have changed since then.
On July 19, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Mr. Cohen in a civil administrative proceeding of failing to prevent insider trading at his firm, and sought to ban him for life from managing outside investors' money. Mr. Cohen has denied the allegations.
The SEC action has been put on hold until the criminal matter is resolved. Financial firms often seek to settle both criminal and civil cases simultaneously.
An SEC spokesman declined to comment.
Following the criminal charges, Mr. Cohen told people close to him that a settlement might be the best course of action for SAC, according to people briefed on the conversations.
After SAC was indicted, Mr. Cohen's wife, Alex, helped pull together the Friday-night gathering on July 26 at their summer home on eastern Long Island as a show of support from her husband's friends, says the friend.
During the evening, Mr. Cohen played poker on and off, says the friend. From time to time, the guests offered words of support and toasts. As Mr. Cohen discussed the case with his friends, he complained that the government was intent on destroying his firm and his reputation without first having to prove its allegations, this person says. His friends echoed the criticism.
An SAC spokesman disputed this account but declined to elaborate.
One person joked that Mr. Cohen looks good in stripes, prompting laughter, says the friend. Mr. Cohen took the teasing in good humor, the friend said, but eventually asked his friends to change the subject.

According to KKTV-TV, Miami-Yoder School Assistant Principal Howard Disney said that up to 75 students were forced to spend the night, sleeping on wrestling mats, after the weather prevented their buses from getting out. Disney said food and all other necessities were provided to the students, and that a handful of teachers remained in campus to watch the kids.
The district is 40 miles east of Colorado Springs, CO.
