Work Practice Apprenticeship
As a work practice apprentice, each student will be working and practicing full-time at City Center, wholeheartedly engaging with all aspects of the daily practice life in the temple, as well as the many other aspects of living, working, and practicing together in sangha. This program is modeled after the WPA programs at Green Gulch Farm and Tassajara. The goals of the program are three-fold:
To support Zen students to establish a solid foundation in Zen meditation, work-practice and the spirit of the Buddha's teachings as passed down to us by Suzuki Roshi and his dharma heirs.
To offer a low-cost way for sincere students to make a commitment to full-time, residential Zen practice.
To reward those who successfully complete the initial three- to six-month period with the opportunity to continue and deepen their practice at Zen Center.
The initial three-month period of the WPA Program begins upon acceptance through application to the director and practice committee. All applicants must have completed a minimum of two weeks as a guest student at City Center prior to applying to the apprenticeship program. Upon successful completion of the three-month session, WPA participants receive a scholarship for one practice period that may be used at any one of the three Zen Center practice places, with some limitations (see below).
The work-practice program requires a commitment to the following practice activities:
Early morning zazen, service and temple cleaning six days per week
Afternoon zazen at 5:40 pm, five days per week, work permitting
30 hours of work-practice per week (M-F, 9 am to 4 pm)
At least one class per study session
Regular private meetings with a resident practice leader
Monthly one-day sittings
Scheduled sesshins, depending on work and practice assignments
Saturday morning oryoki breakfast, when scheduled
Saturday morning and Wednesday evening Dharma talks
Various monthly and yearly ceremonies and events
Additional Information about the City Center Work Practice Apprenticeship Program
Buddhist Precepts
: All members of the WPA Program are expected to practice in relation to the 16 Bodhisattva precepts. In particular, students are asked to refrain from initiating new sexual relationships during their first six months of residency and to refrain from all drug and alcohol use at City Center. Please obtain a copy of the
Zen Center Ethical Principles
and discuss any questions or concerns you have regarding these guidelines with the City Center director prior to submitting an application.
Expenses and Stipends:
There is a one-time $70 application fee for the City Center WPA Program. After this initial fee, all room, meals and tuition are provided while in residence during the apprenticeship program. During participation in the program, each apprentice will receive an allowance starting at $75 per month for essential purchases. After three months, depending on timing, the apprentice may participate in a practice period or apply for another three-month apprenticeship.
Practice Period Scholarships:
After successfully completing a three-month apprenticeship, a work practice apprentice is eligible to receive a scholarship for one practice period at Tassajara, Green Gulch Farm, or City Center. This allows students to continue in residential practice or return to Zen Center at a later date, acknowledging that a variety of life situations may not allow continuous residency. To attend a Tassajara practice period, one must have first completed a practice period at either City Center or Green Gulch Farm, including a sesshin.
Upon completion of each WPA, the work practice apprentice will receive a confirmation letter by the director confirming that a practice period scholarship has been earned. Apprentices must apply and be accepted for each practice period.
Acceptance to the practice period is subject to space availability, as well as review by the practice period applications committee at the respective practice center.
Transition Time and Vacations:
The City Center WPA Program includes a five-day vacation/transition after completion of the initial three-month period. There is also a one-week vacation between practice periods.
Health Insurance:
Zen Center does not provide health insurance for work practice apprentices. City Center apprentices are not considered to be on staff, and thus time as a WPA participant does not count toward the accrual of the staff time necessary to qualify for Zen Center health insurance.
Continuing on in a Staff Position:
Upon successful completion of the two-year WPA Program, students are eligible to apply for a City Center staff position. A description of staff policy, benefits and stipend levels is available from the City Center director.
How to Apply
: Please fill out the program application and submit it, along with the $70 application fee and a recent photo, to the address found below.

The group, Citizens Against the Landfill in Hempstead gathered donations and gently used goods from residents to host a fundraiser to fight against the proposed Pintail Landfill on Highway 6 in Hempstead.
Residents say that Green Group Holdings, LLC is the landfill agency that submitted the application to the TCEQ. The application is technically complete with a draft permit, which means the information about the application is available to the public. Although, residents say so far no permit to begin building has been issued.
The application process has been ongoing for 18 months. And there have been three public hearings regarding the landfill proposal.
It was not an ordinary garage sale in Hempstead. Residents purchase jewelry, clothes, furniture and home goods. Barbeque meals were also available. Over $5,500 was collected in sales and donations at the garage sale.
People came out and shopped up to show their support to the group.
"It's like a fantastic way to support the landfill because it's a win, win situation every one like a deal," said Tobi Kosanke, Hempstead resident.
Residents explained why the proposal should be trashed.
"Hempstead is going to be known as a little garbage can between Houston and Brenham. Nobody is gonna want to come here if that land fill goes in," said Kosante.
If the landfill is built, it will be 723 acres and located one mile north of the intersection of Highway 290 and Highway 6.
Dennis Smelser lives in walking distance from the proposed site.
"The main problem is what it's going to do in contamination of water, well water, our environment from the standpoint of air, the contamination and pollution. It's going to create the methane gases and such," said Dennis Smelser.
Many residents have concerns about a possible decrease in property values and a negative environmental impact.
This Citizens group has filed a lawsuit against the TCEQ and says the bills to fight the proposal are up to $30,000 dollars a month right now.
"We've got to have other fundraisers its an expensive fight we're asking for people that can to contribute what they can at their level . We need alot of money to pay our legal fees and others but we're gonna find a way no matter what it takes to do so."
Citizens of Hempstead say they have a long road ahead, but seeing the support from the community, like this fundraiser, gives them enough strength to continue to fight.
The next public meeting is scheduled is set for January 24, 2013.
More information is available on the Website for Citizens Against the Landfill.

Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) (3-3) went the distance with just six hits allowed, giving up four runs- all unearned. The complete game is the first of the year for Deason and first win in a starting role.
The Lady Mocs fell behind early in the first inning as the defense ran into a couple of miscues. A fielding error allowed Auburn's Brooke Lathan to reach and a wild pitch moved the runner to third. A walk issued to Caitlin Schultze put runners on the corners and another wild pitch from Deason brought Lathan in to score, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
Chattanooga got on the board after two scoreless innings as Sam Taylor (Chickamauga, Ga.) led off the UTC fourth with a double to left field. Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) put down a sacrifice bunt to move Taylor into scoring position, but a throwing error by the Auburn catcher, Schultze, allowed the freshman to score from first base.
Despite tying the game 1-1 in the top of the inning, the Tigers answered back in the next half inning with three runs to retake the lead. After recording back-to-back strikeouts, a walk and single loaded the bases for Auburn. A fielding error by Taylor at shortstop extended the inning, bringing in an unearned run, and a double off the bat of Lathan in the next at-bat drove in two more.
Down 4-1 going into the fifth inning, the Chattanooga came alive with five hits and four runs to jump ahead of the Tigers 5-4. A single from Alyssa Taylor led off the inning, but a fielder's choice put Poteat on at first in place of Taylor. Sam Taylor walked in the following series and Robles came through with a clutch single to center to drive in Poteat.
Auburn pitcher Hilary Mavromat was chased after the run scored and was replaced by Marcy Harper, but an RBI single from Roberts to the right side drove in the inherited runner, Taylor. A single from Stephanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.) extended the inning on two outs and a single two-RBI single to center from Jenny Garcia (Miami, Fla.) gave the Lady Mocs their first lead of the game.
Up 5-4 going into the sixth inning, Roberts added an insurance run with a solo home run over the left field fence. The no-doubter was Roberts first of the season as well as the first Chattanooga home run of the 2013 campaign.
The Lady Mocs return to Chattanooga Friday to host the Frost Classic at Frost Stadium. Chattanooga opens its home slate against Eastern Kentucky at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. UTC will also take on Lipscomb, Miami-Ohio, Boston College and Missouri State during the weekend.

Editor's note: the following article is part of a series of articles The Ripple is doing entitled "The Day in the Life of." The article is written in the first person from the reporter's perspective.
A bone chilling scream drifts out over the corn and into the woods: "You're all going to die!"
Despite this disturbing warning, groups of curious thrill seekers travel forward as devilish ghouls pop out at them around each corner.
Hillside Horror, located at 703 Davis Memorial Church Road in Wilkesboro, opened on Sept. 28. I had the chance to spend a Saturday evening learning what it means to be a creature lurking around the corners of a haunted trail. Several of the volunteers who work there are from Hamptonville, and the Wilkesboro location draws people from several counties.
The ride down to the trail was a fitting scene for what was to come. The sky was gray and getting darker by the minute. The roads twisted and turned as a thin veil of fog floated above them, and a rat scurried across the road ahead of my car. What better place for a trail intended to scare the sanity out of you?
As I pulled into the entrance I was greeted by blood-soaked actors in tattered clothes rushing around to prepare for opening time, which was just a short hour away. I met up with my guide for the night — Ryan Hodges — or as he's better known, the "Devil Dog." He's out of breath and scrambling to put together a makeshift bridge along the trail.
Hodges has become the manager for the event and does most of the work maintaining and creating new scares for the trail. He tells me that the rain had just let up an hour or two earlier and the trail had been fairly flooded, leaving it a slick, muddy mess. The volunteer actors had already worked together to get sawdust laid out at various areas within the trail to make it safe to walk it.
Hodges has pulled together as much scrap wood as he could and is piecing it all together to make a bridge alongside the creek that parallels the path. The washout rains have created a dangerous ridge in the trail that people can easily fall on and every attempt to fix it with packed dirt and sawdust has washed out into the creek.
With night drawing in quickly Hodges finishes the bridge and packs the remaining gaps with mud and sawdust, making it safe enough to last the night. Now it's time to rush back to the entrance so Hodges can slip into his Devil Dog attire and get down to his scene before the crowds show up.
Hodges' costume is fairly simple. A raggedly torn white shirt with blood stains, mud coated jeans and much needed knee pads. What truly makes him a Devil Dog is the mask and gloves that transform him into a demented hillbilly's pet werewolf named Willy.
His set consists of a fairly sizable dog house complete with a heavy link chain, bones of the trail walkers who didn't make it past him and a dirty tin pan where he devours his meals.
As we arrive Hodges tells me that he had to make last minute repairs to this area today as well. The scene is in an old chicken house that has spotty roofing and a dirt floor. The rain had managed to get to some of the scenes and Hodges had to repair the leaks in the roof. As we arrive to set up his scene he realizes that his sound system had also fallen victim to the rain, and his recorded dog snarls were not going to be an option for tonight.
Hodges doesn't let the setback slow him down. He makes sure that all the electrical cords are tucked safely away, starts up the smoke machine to give his scene a creepy vibe, straps on his knee pads and gets in position as a group of people make their way through the corn maze.
Other trail workers are absent tonight, so some of the actors have to play multiple roles as the groups move along. The run through the sets shortly before each group walks through whispering who the weakest link in the group is or warning if there's a particularly terrified child that could use a break.
The cautious trail walkers round the strobe light lit corners of the chicken house and come to a sign that warns them to "beware of dog." Most of them read the sign aloud and either move slowly into the Devil Dog's lair or begin to make dog calls. Hodges waits in a dark hallway, and while the trail workers are fixated on his empty dog house he tears out of the shadows up to the unsuspecting victims. Some let out a nervous laugh, and others scream and leap back.
Hodges doesn't let them pass easily; he crouches in front of the crowd snarling and growling, daring them to walk past him. Several trail walkers don't know how to react and just stand in a stare down with the masked dog man. Others pat him on the head and gingerly walk past him, jumping a little bit as he lets out another loud growl.
He lurks behind them down the hallway and as they turn the corner he squeezes in a hole between the walls and gives them one last scare as they feel his werewolf paw gloves brushing their leg in the dark.
Hodges hops up once they've passed and excitedly tells me "that's why I do this." He clearly loves to see a genuine scream of fear followed by relieved laughter.
In between groups we talk about the different types of people who come through the trail. He said that he gets most frustrated by the people who are smart alecks the entire trip through the trail. He gets the most pleasure out of catching one of these people when they least expect it and scaring them to the point of a scream.
He says he feels particularly guilty when a child comes through who has never been through a haunted trail, and he unintentionally scares them to tears. Hodges and the rest of the trail actors make it a point to communicate to each other when a child is coming through so that they can all take it easy on them if they are already past the point of scared.
As the night winds down I finally get up the nerve to take a walk through the trail with a couple of researchers there to review the trail for NCHaunts.com. We start the trail be entering the House of Pain, a pitch black barn filled with surprises popping out of the dark.
Next we travel back out to the trail and head down a hill to Crystal Lake, Jason Vorhees' stomping grounds. We catch a glimpse of the hockey masked villain and continue on to the corn maze. This is the only guided portion of the tour, and our group is particularly lucky because the full moon has finally peaked out from the clouds and the area is well lit.
After several terrifying surprises lurking in the corn husks we make our way to the house where I've spent my time this evening. We have to cross through an old oil drum that's unsettling to our equilibrium and into the chicken house where the walls bang and creepy laughs bounce off the walls.
After my group members get the pleasure of meeting Willy we make our way to the grand finale, the clown room. The spray painted asylum of the creepy face painted creatures lives up to the fears of that every clown hater harbors.
We manage to make it out in one piece and exit to a sign that says "if think this was scary try going through eternity without knowing the Lord." Our tour guide shares that the trail has teamed up with Davis Memorial Baptist Church on the event and church volunteers hand out tracks to trail walkers regarding salvation.
The trail also works closely with Champion Fire Department who helps direct traffic and parking and manages crowd control and the safety of the patrons. To thank them for their help and assistance, trail owners give a large donation to the fire department and a portion of the trail's proceeds go to the church.
As the night grows colder the ghosts and ghouls of the trail come dragging out of the woods, exhausted from a night of scares. They all gather to grab a bite to eat and discuss their biggest scares of the night before heading home for a well-deserved night's sleep.
They close the gates of the Hillside Horror until the next weekend when they will accept their next victims.

Cancer is a disease of the genes. Most cancers develop as a result of genetic damage or a mutation that happens sometime during a person's lifetime. These are called "sporadic" cancers. These types of mutations only affect the cells that grow from the original mutated cell.
The risk of developing cancer is higher in people who are born with certain genetic defects that are passed on from their parents and found in every cell in their body. These defects occur in areas of the DNA that affect cell division, cell death, and the repair of damaged DNA. Cancers that result from DNA damage that is passed on are called "hereditary" cancers. They account for about 5 to 10 percent of all breast cancer cases. The likelihood of breast cancer being hereditary is influenced by your age at the time of diagnosis. The younger you are, the more likely the cancer is hereditary.
The National Cancer Institute describes genes as "nature's blueprints for every living thing." Genes determine your body's potential for function and growth. Environmental factors influence the outcome. For example, a woman might have the genetic potential to be six feet tall. However, if she has poor nutrition as a child, she may not reach that potential. Similarly, a woman may have a genetic risk of developing breast cancer. Whether she develops it or not may be influenced by other exposures she has during her lifetime.
Genes come in pairs. One set is passed down (inherited) from your mother and the other set from your father. Genetic risks and potential can come from either parent.
A number of genetic defects can result in an increased risk for breast cancer. All these defects occur in areas of the genes that influence cancer progression. The most common defects are found on genes named BRCA1 (breast cancer gene 1) and BRCA2 (breast cancer gene 2). A woman who has inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is at higher risk of developing breast cancer and some other types of cancer than a woman who does not have such a mutation. The discoveries of these breast cancer genes in the early 1990s greatly helped our understanding of the genetic basis of inherited breast cancer and ovarian cancer. However, these are large and complex genes. Scientists continue to work to understand the significance of different alterations in these genes.
The National Human Genome Research Institute developed a test that can easily distinguish between hereditary and sporadic forms of breast cancer. This test is called gene-expression profiling. It uses a DNA chip, called a microarray, to assess how active 6,000 different genes are at the same time within a breast tumor. The researchers have proved that they can look at the patterns and determine if the cancer is hereditary or sporadic (nonhereditary).
Deciding on Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer
Genetic testing is considered only for women with a certain family history. You might fall into this high-risk group if any of the following statements are true for you.
You have two or more close relatives with breast cancer.
You have relatives who developed breast cancer before age 50.
You have breast cancer in more than one generation in your family.
You have several family members who have had ovarian cancer.
You are of Ashkenazi (eastern and central European) Jewish ancestry.
If you are considering genetic testing for cancer risks, you face many complex issues. If you test positive, you will face difficult decisions about treatments to prevent breast cancer. You may have increased anxiety about developing breast cancer. You may have concerns about losing your health insurance coverage. If you test negative, you may also face difficult challenges, such as survivor guilt, if other family members have tested positive.
However, if you are anxious or considering preventive surgery based on your family history, having the results may be very helpful. Because of these issues, you should seek genetic counseling before, during, and after any genetic testing.

"ShareFile has always been 100% focused on business users, but in the past 6 months we have seen greatly increased traction with large enterprises. Today's enterprises are demanding more than what simple consumer based file-sharing services have to offer, and recent security breaches by freemium providers have illustrated the importance of business-class security and user management features. While no software solution is bulletproof, our new security and reporting features, including delegated authentication using Active Directory, help enterprises take control over security while still benefiting from SaaS solutions like ours. We are very excited to expand our offerings and will be announcing more enterprise features in the months to come."

"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"

Rory MacDonald Insists GSP Fight Wont Happen But Gunning for Carlos Condit Rematch
Me and Georges are not going to fight. I mean we are friends and were very close training partners, its just not going to happen.
I dont want to sacrifice a friendship and my spot training at Tri-Star, I really feel like being there is making me develop leaps and bounds as a fighter. I wouldnt disrespect Georges or the gym in that way. I know he has seniority as the title holder, so I just really feel like Im going to see what happens one step at a time.http://www.mmaweekly.com/rory-macdon...condit-rematchIm fighting B.J. (Penn), I plan on beating him, and well see how the fight with Georges and Carlos goes, either way I plan on getting my rematch with Carlos in 2013, win or lose tomorrow night, said MacDonald.
In his first fight with Condit in 2010 after controlling the biggest part of the first two rounds, MacDonald found out exactly what his opponent was made of that night. Condit came out firing in the third and final round, absolutely blasting MacDonald with shots until he finished the fight with only 7 seconds remaining in the round.
He beat the (expletive) out of me. That was hard, MacDonald said about the bout against Condit.

Fishing shows are not the normal fare when a group of girls get together for brunch. But that's exactly what sisters Bea and Emily Girndt of Mount Pleasant and some of their friends will be doing Saturday morning.
Local sisters fish on Bass 2 Billfish
ON TVWhat: Bass 2 Billfish ShowWho: Sisters Bea and Emily Girndt of Mount PleasantWhen: 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday on NBC Sports Network.
Bea and Emily are this week's guest stars on Bass 2 Billfish, a show that focuses on the variety of fishing found in Florida. The program airs at 9:30 a.m. Saturday on the NBC Sports Network (formerly Versus), and again at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
With Tropical Storm Sandy buffeting South Florida with high winds and rain, Bea and Emily caught peacock bass, largemouth bass, jack crevalles and even jumped a few tarpon during the late-October filming. They also visited the big Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, toured the International Game Fish Association museum and cashed in $250 gift certificates at Bass Pro Shops in Fort Lauderdale.
"It was definitely the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we got back on the plane, every second of it was a dream," said Bea Girndt. "It was a great experience to be able to share with my sister. We had an awesome time in Florida."
The sisters, originally from Columbia, did not grow up fishing but learned to love the sport after moving to Charleston six years ago. Bea, 23, who now works for an environmental non-profit, got hooked while she was attending the College of Charleston and working at the Isle of Palms Marina.
"I would hear her stories and how she would catch rides on all these boats. It got me really interested and I started fishing from shore when I could," said Emily, 27, a kindergarten teacher at Devon Forest Elementary School in Goose Creek.
They watched Saturday morning fishing shows and became hooked on Bass 2 Billfish, which airs from January through June. Last year, with help from some of their friends, they put together an audition video that earned them a call from Peter Miller, the host of the show.
"They were so energetic. They fed off each other. It's the first time we've had sisters on the show," said Miller, a three-time World Sailfish Champion.
The first day of fishing focused on tarpon and jacks with Capt. Jeff Maggio of Lunkerdog.com fishing. They jumped three or four tarpon, caught nice jack crevalle and barracuda. The second day was land-based fishing for peacock bass and largemouth bass in community ponds with guide Adam Rizzi. Bea said they caught between 35 and 40 peacock bass in just over an hour.
"Their personalities really made the show succeed," Miller said. "They kept my spirits up and the crew's spirits up. The harder the wind blew, the more rain we had, the more they wanted to fish. They really helped me hold it together because I was losing my mind."

Best Uses
I used this every day but got very frustrated with the zipper getting stuck in the flap especially while shopping. It was embarrassing when there was a line behind me. Anyway, while I used it I loved the design, the ease of getting my cell phone out, it was roomy for the things I carry and it was pretty. But what good is all of this if the zipper is not easy to use?
Best Uses
I use this every day in summer! Fabric light weight, pretty, but the zipper gets stuck in zipper flap whether I am opening it or closing it. That is a pain. Also the fabric is a little flimsey!
Best Uses
I really do like this purse! It looks great and is easy to clean. It holds a lot of of stuff!!
BUT the dust flap over the top zipper keeps getting stuck in the zipper and I would really like to be able to shorten the straps more than they do.

This story was updated at 5:15 p.m. on Dec. 3, 2013.
A woman who taught at a Rockville school for students with special needs abused one of her students, then fled the country when authorities began investigating, police said Tuesday.
According to a Montgomery County police statement, Yee Tak Sharon Kui, 25, of Pasture Side Place, Rockville, taught at The Frost School on Aspen Hill Road.
The school serves children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disabilities, autism spectrum disorders and related special needs, according to its website.
Public records did not list Kui's specific address on Pasture Side Place.
Twice in November, Kui went to the home of one of her students, a 15-year-old boy, and engaged in "illegal sexual contact" with him while his parents were away, police said.
According to a warrant police obtained for her arrest, Kui and the boy began texting one another.
The first alleged act of abuse took place on Nov. 3, and included kissing and fondling, according to the warrant.
Days later, Kui texted the boy and asked if he would have sex with her. On Nov. 10, she went to his house while his parents were away and the two had sex, according to the arrest warrant.
On Nov. 11, police charged Kui with sex abuse of a minor, soliciting sex from a minor, and two counts of third-degree sex offense. The most severe of the crimes, sex abuse of a minor, carries a penalty of up to 25 years in prison.
At a press conference at police headquarters in Gaithersburg Tuesday, Russ Hamill, an assistant chief for Montgomery County police, called the crimes "especially disturbing."
"Our victim was a child," Hamill said. "He should have been protected and nurtured by his teacher and everyone he came in contact with. Instead, his teacher chose, from her position of trust over him, she chose to violate that trust ... to irrevocably harm this child."
Ron Harding, the father of the victim, appeared at the press conference to describe the ordeal he and his family have been through and to encourage anyone else who might have been a victim of sexual abuse to talk to police. The Gazette does not normally identify victims of sexual abuse or their family members, but Harding agreed to be named.
Harding, a minister, said the abuse took place while he and his family were attending church services. Harding and his wife contacted police on Nov. 11, shortly after learning about the alleged abuse.
Kui had been teaching their son since June, he said.
According to police, The Frost School began an internal investigation the same day, after school officials learned about the alleged incidents.
The school fired Kui on Nov. 12, police said.
Officials at the school did not respond to repeated calls for comment Tuesday.
Investigators applied for a search warrant and arrest warrant on Nov. 12.
Kui, meanwhile, told the victim in a phone conversation she would rather flee the country than go to jail, and, on Nov. 13, flew to Hong Kong, where she has a brother, the arrest warrant stated.
"This is the kind of situation that kills the faith of individuals, and separates people in our society," Harding said.
He said the events traumatized his son, and the trauma would be "long, and revealed slowly." As they drove by the school recently, his son, upset by what has happened, ripped off pieces of door panels inside the car, Harding said.
"Its challenging for him, because with autism, he does not display his emotions, but he feels them deeper than most of us," he said.
The boy's parents are struggling because they can't have their son at the school currently, Harding said. He and his wife spent six years trying to get their son into the school, he said.
Victor Del Pino, an attorney for the couple, said in a phone interview that he didn't know if they would keep their son at the school.
Capt. Robert Carter, head of Montgomery County Police's Family Crimes Division, said police were coordinating with prosecutors and federal officials to track down Kui.
They also will work with Interpol — a global police agency — and the Chinese government, he said.
"I don't think it's a matter of if we find her, but a matter of when," he said.

Chicago (24-19-2-3) opened scoring 7:18 into the game when Machacek took a feed from Ross in the slot and fired a shot past Grand Rapids goaltender Joey MacDonald, top shelf.
The Wolves doubled their lead, 2-0, when Kozek grabbed the puck at the doorstep and flicked it over MacDonald, 5:13 into the second period.
Grand Rapids (20-21-1-4) defenseman Travis Ehrhardt redirected the puck behind Chicago netminder Drew MacIntyre to bring the Griffins within one, 2-1, 7:31 into the middle frame.
Chicago responded just over a minute later when Davies wrapped around the net and slid the puck across the goal line to boost Chicago's lead to 3-1.
Forward Ilari Filppula redirected the puck into the empty side of the net on the power-play to bring the Griffins back within one, 3-2, 12:56 into the second frame.

The Aiken Triple Crown has coincided with the end of winter and the start of spring for more than two generations. The series is composed of three jewels, the Aiken Trials, the Aiken Spring Steeplechase and Pacers and Polo, and the events themselves have become a timeless tradition for families who eagerly await the electric feeling of the atmosphere associated with equestrian sport.
Horsemen have an opportunity to showcase the equine athlete, highlighting the countless hours of training and preparation involved to get the horses to a particular level where they can be competitive, providing wholesome family entertainment in a safe and controlled environment.
The sound of hoofbeats on racetracks and polo fields offer the participants a quiet rhythm that is part of the charm of the activity itself. The subtleties provide an irresistible allure to a diverse audience as the events themselves are a ritual of moment and pleasure.
But, the rich informality enjoyed by those in tailgating spots, the infield, by the sideboards or tent parties only serves to intensify the experience.
The Aiken Triple Crown is a social event, and the ancillary activities are a mildly diverting interlude. Young girls can be seen fawning attention lavishly on the horses. Men and women can be seen standing around, peering over at the field as they enjoy a favorite beverage and placing a friendly wager on their favorite horse. It's an afternoon of beauty, barbecue and bacchanalian spirit.
The Triple Crown is also the whistling wheeze of the horses as they exert themselves on the polo field and racetrack, the triumphant stare after demoralizing an opponent or the agony associated with a losing effort as an athlete's eyes take on a terrible softness.
The equine athletes convey an indelible impression that they are supremely fast, their taut muscles flexing as they explode across the racetrack and polo field. Victory means the horses will get their share of the spoil, and the connections of the horses and winning teams can be seen smiling sheepishly as the press, the audience and family members have cameras at the ready to preserve the moment.
Spectators find themselves squinting through the sunshine, some making undeniable fashion statements with eye-catching ensembles, stunning hats, bow ties, freshly pressed shirts and pleated trousers as they become part of a larger story that resonates with a powerful authority.
The horses can be seen in tight packs as they work to establish position from the opening bowl-in at a polo game, or offer the audience more than mere looks of efficiency as they attempt to improve their position appreciably as a race unfolds.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Instead of eating chips and queso and fajitas; I decided to make something a little lighter this year. This dish can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Frittatas and egg casseroles have always been a staple in our house. They are so easy to make and they give you the freedom to throw whatever you have on hand in the dish. This time I wanted something healthy and substantial enough that I would not feel hungry a couple hours later. This frittata was the answer. [Read more...]

Picasa Web Albums has many new features.
* Uploading videos. Until today, only users that paid for extra storage could upload videos. Now anyone can do that, but only using Picasa. Another option is to use Google Video to upload unlisted videos.
* Prints. You can now order prints for your photos, but number of options is small.
* Tags. Picasa Web Albums lets you tag your photos. You'll find the option in the sidebar.
* Search. You can search your photos, a certain gallery and your friends' public photos. Google indexes captions, tags, album titles, album descriptions, and album locations.
If Google adds ratings, date search and photo editing, I can say Picasa Web Albums is almost perfect.

Top 50 Container Ports
Top 50 Container Ports
Asia remains king among the Top 50 World Container Ports.
Asian ports hold nine of the 10 top port rankings and fill 26 of the 50 slots in the 2013 rankings.
The Middle East's largest container port, Jebel Ali in Dubai, ranked ninth, handling 13.6 million 20-foot-equivalent units in 2013. Jebel Ali is the flagship facility of parent DP World, a global terminal operator that handled 55 million TEUs in 2013 and 29.4 million TEUs in the first half of this year.
Europe's largest container port, Rotterdam, ranked 11th with 11.6 million TEUs in 2013. Construction at Maasvlakte 2 for the new APM terminal and the new Rotterdam World Gateway Terminal should be completed and operational by year-end.
Combined, the top 2 U.S. ports, the Southern California tandem of Los Angeles and Long Beach, would have ranked ninth globally, with 14.6 million TEUs.
