Youth group for gun control, formed after Newtown, announces meeting
NEWTOWN -- The newly formed youth activism organization, Second Amendment Sanity, today announced it will welcome teens to an evening meeting Monday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street. Second Amendment Sanity is a youth-created and youth-operated nonprofit organization (501c3 designation in progress) seeking teens from all over the country who are dedicated to reducing gun violence locally and nationally through activism and education.
The meeting will offer an overview of the organization, introduce current officers, nominate officers for open positions, make committee assignments, discuss plans for the future and exchange ideas.
Jake Snyder, a 17-year-old homeschooled teen, was motivated to take action to reduce gun violence in America after the horrific school shooting in Sandy Hook Dec. 14, 2012.
"I got the idea to start Second Amendment Sanity because one of the performing arts teachers my family's homeschool group works with suffered the death of her 6-year-old son at Sandy Hook Elementary, and that just should not have happened. It's insane," stated Snyder. "Nobody should have semi-automatic weapons except the police and the military -- period. And even more people are killed with handguns every day, day in and day out. Gun violence is getting worse and worse, and it's time for all of us -- no matter how old we are -- to actually do something about it!"
Just getting started, Snyder has set up a Second Amendment Sanity Facebook page and Twitter handle @2ndsanity, and the website secondamendmentsanity.org is in development. Currently, those who want to get involved can sign up for the SAS email list via the Facebook page or by sending a tweet with name and email address.

Today, it is virtually a given that a college education is necessary in order to get a decent job in the American work force.
For college graduates looking to earn at the top of the pay scale, an advanced degree is usually required to achieve a six-figure salary, according to a new report on the highest paying jobs from CareerCast.
"Many of these high-paycheck jobs require an extensive and specialized graduate school education," Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast, said in a statement.
"Of course, graduates seeking these incomes should have their eyes wide open and realize the trade-off can be a six-figure student loan debt."
(If you don't want to go to grad school, check out 30 Best Paying College Majors: 2014 to find fields that pay well without a master's).
High paychecks are compensation for the dedication required, the stress inherent with the job, the level of skill needed and the monetary investment required just to pursue it, according to the report.
Those who choose a different path to attain one of the best paying jobs must often be prepared to exchange paychecks for highly stressful working conditions, the report said.
Following are the top 10 best paying jobs, based on CareerCast's Jobs Rated report and data culled from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, along with projected growth by 2022.
10. Attorney

The title sad sack from "The Life & Times of Tim" probably would accept the news that his show has been canceled with a sigh of resignation. After all, everything he touches inevitably turns against him, despite best intentions.
Fans shouldn't be so passive.
The disappointing news, which comes less than a month after Comedy Central scrapped "The Sarah Silverman Program," has got us wondering: Why are we losing all the funny losers?
Both the animated Tim and the live-action Silverman shows are built around misfits who generate laughs through escalating misadventures.
But there are major differences: Tim is an awkward, malleable cubicle drone who is drawn into trouble in a bid to fit in as an adult. Silverman's childish slacker character aggressively – often obnoxiously – tries to remake the world to fit to her warped, overgrown-juvenile persona.
Tim is the kind of guy who gets stuck minding a circus elephant while his buddy woos an animal rights activist. Silverman is the type who turns a Holocaust memorial into a spectacle out of a circus.
Both shows, which flirt with tastelessness to different degrees, are acquired tastes. But they're hard to shake after the first uncomfortable laughs.
It often takes time for certain TV comedies – particularly those that are a little off-kilter and/or push boundaries – to catch on. A classic example is "Family Guy," which Fox cancelled in 2001, only to see it take off in reruns.
"Tim," which is geared toward a young crowd, probably wasn't served well by its Friday night timeslot. Mid-way through Silverman's third and final season, Comedy Central moved the show from prime time to midnight.
The only good news in Deadline Hollywood's report about the demise of "Tim" is word that the show is being shopped to Comedy Central, Cartoon Network and TBS, potentially giving the cartoon life beyond two seasons and 20 episodes.
We've previously suggested that HBO give Silverman's show another shot. So we'll humbly proposal a trade of sorts: send "Tim" to Comedy Central and "Silverman" to HBO.
The winners, for once, would be the losers.

Enjoy being in cars but hate the hassle of watching the road and holding the steering wheel? The road train autopilot system could bring us cavalcades of remotely driven cars.
The system really is like a train - a specially designed truck is at the front of the convoy, and it's the only vehicle a person is actively driving. All the cars behind are equipped with special sensors that allow them to follow the truck's precise path, freeing up the would-be drivers to relax, read the newspaper, or watch TV (we can only assume that's coming). In this video, the technology's Swedish designers discuss the first road tests and what they hope to achieve next:
There's a potential environmental benefit to all this too. The hope is that people in the road trains will accept slightly slower speeds as a trade-off for not having to worry about driving. That means less congestion and less fuel consumption. The technology builds on what some cars are already equipped with, such as sensors that warn the driver if he or she is getting too close to an object up ahead. Here's a diagram of a future road train in action:

US Federal Judge upholds American's 'right to boycott' Israel
Martin Leeper
- February 12, 2018

Israeli lobby
Send by email:
In the hyper-globalized system of finance, trade and security, American policies reverberate around the world in a myriad of ways with far reaching effects, some intended, some not, but often, rarely understood by America's general public.
No where, possibly, is that more true than the occupation of Palestine. Physical distance, a media addicted to sensationalism, and misinformation campaigns by powerful lobbies all help to obscure the complexities on the ground.
However, in the relatively rare case of engaged and active citizenry, disillusioned by America's role in the perpetuation of this permanent occupation, there has been another campaign underway—legal, forced, silence.
In June 2017, the Kansas State Legislature passed a law, HB2409, that required any individual or company entering into a contract with the state to "
to certify that they are not engaged in a boycott of Israel
." Esther Koontz, a teacher and supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement, did not sign the contract and therefore was not awarded the position she was offered.
America has long held the
right to boycott
under the freedom of speech clause in the first amendment of the US Constitution. Koontz, therefore, decided to take Kansas State's Commissioner of Education to court over her contract's retraction.
On January 30th, the US District Court for Kansas awarded Koontz a preliminary injunction. This is not a final verdict but means her lawyer was able to prove a "likelihood of success." With this injunction, Kansas has been ordered to immediately cease "requiring any independent contractor to sign a certification that they are not participating in a boycott of Israel."
An injunction merely pauses the law as the litigation continues and therefore, it applies explicitly to Kansas for now. However, if it is upheld upon conclusion, it
could have nation-wide implications
Palestine Legal (PL) is a US based organization "
dedicated to protecting the civil and constitutional rights of people in the US who speak out for Palestinian freedom
." According to PL, since 2014, "at least 102 anti-BDS measures have been introduced in state/local legislatures across the country."
Israel is one of the rare bi-partisan topics in American politics. 24 states, not just Kansas, have adopted anti-BDS legislation with another 11 states with pending legislation.
Kansas is a deep red state governed by the Republican Party. A republican governor, and a supermajority controls both sides of the legislature—enough members to override any minority party obstructions.
California on the other hand is a deep blue state governed by Democrats and was, at one point, a beacon of progressive values. However, in 2016, California enacted a strikingly similar law to Kansas, AB 2844. The California law is not quite as severe, it doesn't affect every state contract, but in a similar way, forces certain stipulations on free speech for state contracts over $100,000.
The Vice President of the US, Mike Pence, while addressing the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) last month said; "the United States of America is proud to stand with Israel and her people, as allies and cherished friends."
This may be an understatement when it comes to Israel's reliance on the US. According to the
Congressional Research Center
, "Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II" and there are no signs of this slowing down.
In 2016, the Obama administration signed the largest military-aid package in US history,
$38 billion
, to upgrade Israel's aircrafts, military mobility and missile defense. On top of aid, Israel was also the first free-trade agreement ever entered into by the US back in 1985, with trade between the two countries in 2016 topping $49 billion.
It is hard to understate Israel's reliance on America, and therefore it is easy to see the threat posed by the
American public's waning support
. Israel's power in the region comes in large part from the economic and military might that is backed up by the west and the US in particular.
Therefore, it's no wonder pro-Israeli groups donated $17 million to federal elections alone in 2016. Any action, whether it's a university seminar, a single company's divestment, or a teacher's boycott of Israeli products is a threat to this necessary alliance. And any threat to the American-Israeli alliance is a fundamental threat to Israel's power.
Everything from
hurricane victims in Texas
[being] required to pledge not to boycott Israel as a condition of receiving relief aid, to a Palestinian-American professor being
for researching and teaching about Palestine, from
California's AB2844
Kansas' HB2409
, Israel and pro-Israel groups have prioritized criminalizing American dissent.
The district court injunction is one of the first times the legal system has denied one of these attempts to legally silence the American public. Israel is falling out of favor with a generation of Americans, and if this injunction is upheld, it will be a major victory for free speech, giving political and legal space for the growing disillusionment with a half century of blind support for the occupying state.

If the children have no garden, they make nests in the wood-shed, barn, or house. They gather colored flowers for the rabbit to eat, that it may lay colored eggs. If there be a garden, the eggs are hidden singly in the green grass, box-wood, or elsewhere. On Easter Sunday morning they whistle for the rabbit, and the children imagine that they see him jump the fence. After church, on Easter Sunday morning, they hunt the eggs, and in the afternoon the boys go out in the meadows and crack eggs or play with them like marbles. Or sometimes children are invited to a neighbor's to hunt eggs. [Phebe Earle Gibbons, "Pennsylvania Dutch," Philadelphia 1882]

For operating systems, I had three needs. I wanted Windows XP because the majority of commercial forensics software runs on Windows. I wanted Ubuntu Hardy Heron so I could have access to Linux forensics software and VMware Server. (Windows is also a possible VMware Server candidate, but I might install a copy of VMware Workstation on the Windows side.) I wanted FreeBSD 7.0 in case I needed to do packet capture and related network security monitoring tasks.
I decided to triple-boot these three operating systems. The box has three logical hard drives. Two are physical (147 GB each) and the third is a RAID 0 array resulting in a single HDD of 447 GB.
Before I got the following to work I had to experiment with various setups. The following is what I settled upon. I'm posting this information for future reference and for those who might want to try the same setup.
First I installed Windows XP on the only HDD it could see, one of the 147 GB HDDs. I thought this a little odd, but it suited my purposes. I rebooted and Windows started without incident.
Next I changed the default boot drive in the BIOS from the Windows HDD to the next HDD. I installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron Desktop on that second 147 GB HDD. I selected the "Advanced" option and told Ubuntu to install its bootloader into one of the drives (/dev/sdc, which turned out to be a problem) I was using for Linux.
When I tried rebooting, GRUB had created entries for Linux and Windows but neither worked. I realized for some reason the way the drives were ordered on the Ubuntu live CD/installer wasn't the same way they were seen by GRUB (or by Linux, once booted). I figured out this was the problem and manually changed the GRUB command line to boot properly into Linux. I needed to implement a similar fix for Windows. I'll show what the result was shortly. I made the changes to GRUB permanently before going to the next step.
Finally I installed FreeBSD 7.0, which saw the remaining 447 GB HDD as /dev/da0 and the other HDDs as /dev/ad4 and /dev/ad6. I didn't touch /dev/ad4 or /dev/ad6 but installed the FreeBSD bootloader into /dev/da0.
After a reboot I had to try various combinations to get GRUB to properly boot FreeBSD 7.0, but eventually I got that working too.
Here is how Linux's fdisk -l saw the computer:

Tutorial: Use the CData BizTalk Adapter for SAP to Execute UpdategramsCreate a simple application in which you use the adapter for SAP to execute an updategram and then write the response from SAP to a file.
The CData BizTalk Adapter for SAP enables you to execute SQL commands, updategrams, and stored procedures on SAP data in BizTalk. This article provides a walk-through of an application that uses an updategram to insert SAP data.
- A one-way file receive location picks up the XML document that contains the updategram.
- The document is routed to a solicit-response send port configured for the adapter.
- The adapter executes the command. The results of an insert contain the MANDT of the new record.
- The response from SAP is routed to a one-way file send port, which writes the BizTalk message to a file.
Create the Sample Application
The following sections walk through creating the sample application:
- Generate the Schema and an Updategram Instance
- Configure a Receive Port
- Configure a File Receive Location
- Configure the Adapter in a Solicit-Response Send Port
- Configure a File Send Port
- Create Filters to Route BizTalk Messages Through the Application
- Enlist and Enable the Locations and Ports
- View Application Logs
Generate the Schema and an Updategram Instance
You can use wizards in Visual Studio to generate the schema and updategram instance:
- Add theAdapter to Your Project
- Generate a Schema to Insert into the MARA table
- Generate an Updategram Instance
Add the Adapter to Your Project
Use the Add Adapter wizard to add the adapter to your project. You will use the adapter to query SAP for metadata about the table you want to insert to; for example, "MARA".
- Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and click Add -> Add Generated Items.
- Select Add Adapter Metadata in the resulting dialog box.
- In the resulting Add Adapter Wizard, select the CData BizTalk Adapter for SAP from the list view.
- In the Port menu, leave the selection blank. Or, if you want to use the connection string for an adapter you have already configured, select the send port or receive location from your BizTalk application.
Generate a Schema to Insert into the MARA Table
You will use the schema as a template for creating an updategram that will insert SAP data. The schema is an .xsd file that defines the XML request and response. As an example, an insert updategram is generated. You can follow the same process to create update and delete updategrams.
- In the Connection String page of the Schema Wizard, enter authentication credentials and other connection properties, if you have not already configured them in your BizTalk application.
- Select the Send Port option.
- Disable the One-Way option. The One-Way option ignores any response from the adapter for the updategram, such as the AffectedRows value that is returned. The MANDT of the newly created row is also returned. By disabling the One-Way option you will get an updategram schema that supports retrieving the MANDT.
- In the Command Type menu, select Updategram.
Select the Insert option and select the table and columns you want to insert into. This tutorial uses MANDT and MBRSH.
Note: When you create the updategram, you are limited to selecting the columns you include in the schema. MANDT is required for updates and deletes. It is not required for inserts.
- On the summary page, verify the settings you defined and click Finish to close the wizard.
Generate an Updategram Instance
In this step, you will create the XML message that will in later steps be sent to the adapter. To create the updategram, right-click the .xsd file in the Solution Explorer and then click Generate Instance. The location where the updategram is saved is listed in the Output tab.
The updategram is structured to define what response is desired from SAP. For example updategrams and more information, see Create Updategrams with the CData BizTalk Adapter for SAP.
Configure the Receive Port
To add a receive location to your application, you first need to add a receive port. Receive ports can receive data from multiple receive locations.
- If you have not already done so, open your application in the BizTalk Server Administration Console.
- In your application, right-click Receive Ports and click New -> One-Way Receive Port. The Receive Port Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the Name menu, enter a name for the Receive Port.
Configure the File Receive Location
The Static One-Way File Receive Location will enable you to use the updategram in BizTalk. The File Receive Location creates a BizTalk message containing the updategram.
- Right-click Receive Locations and click New -> One-Way Receive Location.
- Select the Receive Port of which the new Receive Location will be a member. The Receive Location Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the Name menu, enter a name for the Receive Location.
- In the Receive Location properties, select FILE in the Transport Type menu.
- Click Configure. The File Transport Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the Receive Folder box, enter the path to a folder; for example, DemoOutbound. The Receive Location will scan this folder for files that match the criteria in the File mask box.
- In the Receive pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruReceive.
Configure the SAP Adapter in a solicit-response send port
Configuration consists of the following steps:
- Create and Configure the Solicit-Response Send Port
- Configure the Adapter
- Configure the Connection to SAP
Create and Configure the Solicit-Response Send Port
Use a solicit-response send port to obtain the results of an updategram command; in this tutorial, the MANDT of the newly inserted record is returned in BizTalk.
- If you have not already done so, open your BizTalk application in the BizTalk Administration Console.
- In the node for your BizTalk application, right-click Send Ports and select New -> Static solicit-response send port. The Send Port Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the send port properties, enter a name for the send port.
- In the Transport Type menu, select CData.SAPERP.
Configure the CData SAP Adapter
Define the command the adapter will execute in the Adapter Transport Properties dialog.
- In the send port properties, click the Configure button. The Adapter Transport Properties dialog is displayed.
- In the CommandType property, select "Updategram or Stored Procedure".
Configure the Connection to SAP
Configure credentials and other properties required to connect to SAP in the Connection String Options dialog.
- If you have not already done so, open the Adapter Transport properties dialog: In the send port properties, click Configure.

Forefeast of the Nativity of the Mother of God
The first lesson at Great Vespers (Genesis 28:10-17) describes Jacob's dream of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven, and the angels ascending and descending upon it. The second lesson (Ezekiel 43:27-44:4) speaks of the gate of the sanctuary which faces east. God enters through this gate, which is shut so that no one else can enter by it. The third reading (Proverbs 9:1-11) talks about the house that Wisdom has built.
These readings are interpreted as prefiguring the Mother of God.

Tiffany White poised to be Great Swamp Conservancy's new leader
CANASTOTA -- Ever since she can remember, Tiffany White has loved the outdoors. The pull to investigate soil, moss, trees and more started with her grandfather, who lived in Nova Scotia. White recalls him as an avid outdoorsman.
"Every summer when we visited them, we would always take nature walks in the woods. My grandparents would make it a point to show me different plants, trees and animals," the 26-year-old says.
White feels she is making her grandparents proud by becoming executive director of the Great Swamp Conservancy, carrying on the family's love of the outdoors.
The Sherrill woman takes the place of Michael Patane, who co-founded the organization with Marilyn "Rusty" Patane in the late 1990s. Michael Patane has served as the organization's executive director for roughly 15 years. Rusty will continue working at the GSC while Mike takes on some fun "pet projects" around the area.
With a grant made possible by the Land Trust Alliance, an organization that works with land trust organizations such as the Great Swamp to ensure the permanence of land conservation efforts, White will be the first paid, full-time executive director for the Great Swamp Conservancy.
She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the organization, Patane says. She first became acquainted with the GSC through an internship in 2008, during which she helped work on children's programs and event preparation. By 2009, she received a degree in Conservation Biology from SUNY ESF and continued doing volunteer work at Great Swamp for the next two years.
In 2011, she joined the board of directors as recording secretary, and was voted executive director of the organization at the board's April meeting.
Patane is proud of White, and has plans to help her through the transition. "We've had a lot of interns in the past, and we were always looking for a certain type of person (for this job)," he says. White had the right attitude, education and commitment that will make her good at this job.
Great Swamp officials are eager to see the organization continue to grow in both community programs and physical capacity.
How much work is there to do? "A lot," both White and Patane agree.
As much as the Great Swamp has been developed since its inception, there is a desire to see continued growth, technology and communication with the community.
In addition to maintaining the center's programs and planning events, White is tasked with putting the center's unwritten policies to paper and writing grants for special projects, growing social media initiatives and bringing more adult-focused programming to the Great Swamp such as bird-watching and nature sketching.
Patane remembers the beginning of the organization more than 15 years ago being an endeavor geared toward landowners in the towns of Lenox and Sullivan to learn about wetland conservation. This came to fruition when Patane, who was once a frequent duck hunter, began noticing migratory patterns of ducks changing. They were not "resting" locally as they once had and were instead flocking to wetlands such as Montezuma Swamp in Onondaga County.
After a few years of operation, the conservancy bought its first five acres of land where the nature center still stands on North Main Street in Canastota.
Since then, the center has grown to offer ecology programs for school districts, guided walking tours, and Spring and Fall Migration Festivals in addition to their original mission.
The physical size has grown to include roughly 150 acres surrounding the nature center and about another 60 acres in other parts of Madison and Oneida counties, including a 42-acre parcel in Oneida Castle.
White and Patane would like to see that parcel developed with walking trails, which is one of the many projects for which White will be seeking grant funding. A museum that would include geological history of the area is also on the wish list for the organization.
White says her favorite part of the job is working with children. The Great Swamp offers guided wild life hikes for area youngsters on the hiking trails that surround the nature center, as well as craft programs and guest speakers.
"We try to be hands-on and let them have fun," White says, remembering the profound impact nature education had on her when she was young, "I believe that the more you learn about nature, the more you will care about what happens to the earth. Here, we teach from experience. This is real life.
"One of my personal favorite things to do here is to hike the trails and investigate different species of trees, moss and wildlife from one spot to the next. The land here has both wetland and forest, so it is very neat to see the different trees and plants that grow in each eco-system," she says. "It is differences like that, that I enjoy sharing with visitors to the center.
"This job is like a dream," she says. "It's so amazing that I can do this and share my love of nature. I feel like this is my purpose."

Wilson Reis (11-2 MMA, 3-2 BFC) will give it another go.
The two-time Bellator Fighting Championships tournament semifinalist is the latest addition to the promotion's upcoming season-four featherweight playoff.
Bellator brass recently announced the five-time promotional veteran's official entry in the tournament.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported Reis' likely involvement.
He's the sixth confirmed participant for the eight-man tourney, which kicks off in March on MTV2.
"I came up short in the first two tournaments ,and this is my chance to make things right," Reis stated in the official release. "I absolutely believe that I can win it, and that's why I decided to get involved this time around. I'm going to give it all I have, take it one fight at a time, and in every fight, do my best."
The first and only EliteXC bantamweight champion, Reis reached the semifinals in Bellator's first and second seasons, though he was ousted via decision each time. Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney said the decision to give Reis a third shot was an easy one.
"Wilson's part of our family," Rebney stated. "He's been with us from the very beginning, and his overall game improves every time he enters the Bellator cage. I can't wait to see the next step in his evolution as he enters the deepest featherweight tournament we've ever had."
Straus joins Daniel Straus (14-3 MMA, 1-0 BFC), Georgi Karakhanyan (14-2-1 MMA, 2-1 SF), Kenny Foster (8-2 MMA, 1-0 BFC), Zac George (20-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Eric Larkin (3-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) as officially confirmed participants in Bellator's featherweight tournament.
The tournament, which runs over the full 12-week season, kicks off in March on MTV2. Bellator, which aired past seasons on ESPN Deportes and then FOX Sports Net, also is expected to host season-four tournaments in the lightweight, welterweight and light-heavyweight divisions.

It's a fact many Americans don't think about when shopping for their dinner table. Children as young as 8 years old may be picking their food.
From Florida to Washington, California to North Carolina, children across the country have been working the fields, harvesting cucumbers, onions, grapes, and even tobacco.
As part of CNBC's investigation into child labor in agriculture, we went undercover to a tobacco farm in North Carolina and spoke with several kids who worked in the fields. They said even though it's their choice to work, it's a choice made out of economic necessity.
"My mother, I knew that she was working since whenever we were really young, but she never exposed us to this kind of work. It wasn't until afterwards that the need to help my mom and the fact that she was a single mom with four or five kids at the time, so we decided we should help," explained 20-year-old Yesenia Cuello, who has worked in tobacco fields since she was 12.
Other children we spoke with also told us they work in the fields to help their families make ends meet.
"I am going to save my money, and when I need it, like for an emergency, I am going to use it. Like when somebody pass[es] out from my family. I use it. My grandpa passed out, and I was sad. I like helping my family because they need money," explained a 12-year-old boy, who just started working in the fields this year.
Cuello said she only works in tobacco now when her Mom is planning to go in the fields alone. She prefers her job at McDonald's .
And that's the irony. U.S. labor law, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), allows for children as young as 10 to work in the fields with parental consent and as long as the work is not considered hazardous under the law. However, children are not allowed to work at McDonald's or in a grocery store until the age of 16.
The FLSA has not been updated since the 1970s and farmworker advocates say the law lacks proper protection for children in certain agriculture work environments.
"What we know about pesticide exposure has changed. There's new technology. And it's time for that list to be updated," said Zama Coursen-Neff, director of the Children's Rights Division for Human Rights Watch.
In 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor proposed updates to child labor regulations that would have prohibited youth under 16 from using certain types of machinery, lowered the maximum height for ladders youth could use to pick apples and labeled working in tobacco "hazardous."
However, those proposed changes were withdrawn in April after overwhelming public comment on the issue. Because America's agriculture industry has been built on family farms, critics feared the regulations would overreach and eventually ban children from working on their own family farms.
The exact number of child farmworkers is difficult to pinpoint due to the lack of data on child labor and the migratory nature of the work. One advocacy group, the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs (AFOP), which partners with non-profit community programs nationwide, estimates as many as 500,000 children are laboring in U.S. fields. It said poverty is the root cause of the problem.
"Unfortunately what ends up happening is that because these kids that are out there trying to help out their families, they have huge impacts to their health, education and their childhood which ends up perpetuating the cycle of poverty that they are trapped in that their parents were tapped in," said Norma Flores Lopez, Director of the Children in the Fields Campaign at AFOP.
Lee Wicker, Deputy Director of the North Carolina Growers' Association (NCGA) and a tobacco farmer, admits there are many factors to consider when it comes to children working in agriculture.
"I grew up right here working on the tobacco farm and I certainly learned my work ethic from growing up on a farm," he said. "I think we do have to have protections and oversight and transparency but I don't know any farmers that want to employ 5-year-olds or 6-year-olds or 10-year-olds. Can it happen? Sure. And it can be legal provided they have the documentation, the written consent and record keeping of the birthdate."
Wicker works with 750 farmers through the NCGA to provide small family farms with regulated migrant labor under the H2A visa program. He said labor issues in agriculture should be part of the public policy debate. (Read More: California Farm Labor Shortage 'Worst It's Been, Ever'.)
But CNBC's investigation found few are willing to talk about the issue in public. The U.S. Department of Labor declined requests for an interview on the subject and calls to over a dozen produce companies in California were not returned.
The farmer who owns the tobacco field where our undercover investigation found children at work did talk, briefly. He first told CNBC that he has contracts to supply tobacco to Philip Morris International , Alliance One International and U.S. Tobacco Cooperative. However, he abruptly ended the phone call when asked about where he gets his workers.
In agriculture, it's common to employ a farm labor contractor to supply the labor, which allows the grower to save money on workers' compensation and other costs because the contractor is then responsible for adhering to labor regulations.
But Philip Morris International, one of the three companies that contracts with the farmer we contacted, sees the situation differently.
"In those situations where farmers do decide to use third party contractors, as far as we're concerned the responsibility is still with the farmer to make sure that the child labor preventions and the other provisions in our contracts are enforced," explained Anne Edwards, Director of External Communications for Philip Morris International.
Concerning CNBC's investigation that exposed child workers, Edwards added, "Clearly this is something that we need to look into as a matter of urgency because this is just completely unacceptable."
In an emailed response, Alliance One International told CNBC, "We take the situation that you identified very seriously and plan to thoroughly investigate the matter so that if child labor was being used by one of our growers or their third party contractors, an appropriate response, including further education is implemented."
U.S. Tobacco Cooperative also responded via email, stating, "We condemn strongly any violation of state or federal labor laws."
Though the system for enforcement is not perfect, NCGA's Wicker said progress has been made by all responsible parties in the supply chain.
"The companies have stepped up big time, the manufacturers, the leaf dealers, have contracts that growers are required to comply with all federal, state, and local laws," he said. "The contracts have gotten more specific in detail. I'd say over the last 6 or 7 years there's explicit language about child labor, forced labor, complying with the law and keeping all the records, and undergoing safety training."
NCGA also is in a multi-party stakeholder group working for fair labor practices in the agriculture supply chain along with manufacturers, non-governmental organizations, labor unions and government representatives, Wicker added.
"I'm not saying we're perfect, we want to be perfect, we're human beings so we'll probably never be perfect, but we want to partner with the companies and with the workers and their representatives and talk about best practices," he said.

They are offering 40k rub/mo and accommodation for 30 hrs/wk. Any thoughts? The interviewer couldn't tell me exactly where the accommodation would be (not that I would've gleaned anything from those details anyway) other than that it would be about 40 min from the school on the same metro line. So...any thoughts? Any tips on living in Moscow? What should I definitely ask the school before signing this contract?

But it includes an awful lot of marketing nonsense - 'We teach students to think in English' and the like. Anyway, like your other post, get firm details on how accommodation is organised. You don't want to be stuck somewhere which entails a mini-bus to the last station of the metro and then a long train trip to Pushkinskaya, where their school is in the centre. Questions to ask: 1. How may Young Learners classes likely? Teens too? 2. Off-site teaching? Distances involved? Early in the morning? 3. Visa status? Teacher visa, or Work visa? 4. Contract - Russian language only is valid - can you see it? 5. Teacher support? Workshops, seminars, observations? 6. Get firm info about arrangement for accommodation. How is it done? 7. Airport pick-up? This is really important! Seems like a fairly typical McSchool operation - but I hasten to add that I have not worked for them, and know nothing about them first-hand. Maybe ask to speak to a teacher currently working there? Best of luck! Back to top njs7t3Joined: 30 Aug 2012Posts: 60Location: Moscow, Russia Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2012 9:07 am Post subject: Although my first real job offer was exciting, I doubt I'll be taking a position at this school. The interviewer claimed that the residence was on the same Metro line as the school, which I took to mean one train and I'd be there. Again, probably naive, and yes, I'd need to nail down details. They said that I would not be working with young learners, and while they asked about exam prep and business English experience, they also gave me no indication that I would be teaching those types of classes. I didn't know that there was a teacher visa separate from the traditional work visa. Another question I'll need to ask. I received a contract in English, but since I can't read Cyrillic, I'm not sure how much good the Russian copy would do me...unless someone here would be kind enough to read it for me? I can certainly ask for one. I have no idea about teacher support. My assumption was that there would be very little, as this is (as you mentioned) clearly a lower-end offer from a McSchool. Airport pickup was assured in the English contract that I received. I suppose I should confirm that. I'm getting more and more set on Russia...I'll keep working to apply for other positions. Again, if anyone has any relevant contacts, or knows of any schools that are currently hiring, please let me know.

They've got branches all over Moscow, and Moscow region. It seems that whether you have a good or bad experience with them will largely depend on which branch you wind up at. This is not unusual for the McSchools, really. As for accommodation, I don't know anyone in Moscow who only has to use one metro line to get to work. It seems to be the nature of the business here that people teach at multiple locations. Please correct me if I'm wrong. That said, Moscow probably has THE most efficient metro system in the world, so you really don't need to worry about changing metro lines in the first place.

Some look the same as the Latin alphabet but sounds different. Only some of the Russian alphabet is totally new for most people only familiar with Latin scripts. Most touristy language books for learners break the alphabet down into digestible chunks. Here is the 'Teach Yourself' series Beginner's Russian. These letters look and sound similar to English А Т О М К These letters look like English, but sound different. False friends, really. С which sounds like 's' Р which sounds like 'r' Е which sounds like 'ye', as in 'yes' В which sounds like 'v' Н which sounds like 'n' У which sounds like 'oo' as in 'boot' Х which sounds like 'ch' as in 'Bach' These letters look strange, but have familiar sounds. П which sounds like 'p' (as in maths, Pi,) Л which sounds like 'l' (as in maths 'lambda' λ) И which sounds like 'ee' as in 'meet' З which sounds like 'z' Д which sounds like 'd' (like the letter Delta) Ф which sounds like 'f' Ю which sounds like 'yoo' as in 'unique' Г which sounds like 'g' as in 'good' Б which sounds like 'b' Э which sounds like 'e' as in 'leg' Й which sounds like 'y' as in 'toy' Ё which sounds like 'yo' as in 'yonder' Я which sounds like 'ya' as 'yak' These letters do not have just one English letter for them Ж which sounds like 'zh' as in pleasure' Ц which sounds like 'ts' as in 'cats' Ч which sounds like 'ch' as in 'chicken' Ш which sounds like 'sh' as in 'ship' Щ which sounds like 'shsh' as in 'Spanish sherry' Ы which sounds a little like 'i' as in 'ill' Ь 'soft sign'.

On a side-note, I asked to speak to a native English speaking teacher currently employed by BAC. I received this: Hi Nathan, How are you? Nice to meet you, if by this distant way. Actually, you're the second person I'm getting in contact with and I kinda wish I would've opted for such wise approach, since I basically came in here in June only to get initial cultural shock. It looked hairy for coupla days but really thanx to support from Natalia, my regional principal I got over it and would venture to say, things are looking a whole lot better and essentially normal. But not to bore you with superfluous stuff, here are answers to your questions: I have been here since June 2nd of 2013, though I think it's worth the mention that Justin, American who works in nearby Noginsk has worked here for three years running, which is always a good sign, and a signal for added comfort, I'd venture to say. Honestly, I'm located in the city of Elektrostal, with nearby (15 k's) Noginsk being the regional center. (it comprises both schools under one principal and they function as unit) First month was indeed taxing, for I shuttled to Noginsk daily and it encompassed travel by shuttle vans, where I had plenty of empty run. Eventually, school realized I was spending almost as much time in commute as in class so they mercifully adjusted that deal so that I only go to a corporate client thrice a week, which is a 15 min. cab ride from school, my last classes of the day. Otherwise Nathan, traffic is likely Russia's worst facet although I imagine other BAC centers are also in fair proximity, though again, I don't know details. So figure out your arrangement and you'll do yourself a favor if you'll teach in one place or have occasional stint in the other town. 40 k's in rubles should be plenty enough to live on, given your accommodation is paid for. However, I'll insert that 'depends on lifestyle' variable here. Compared to mere mortals, it's pretty good pay though food is where bulk of my expenses goes towards. Again, any tendencies that center around going out to eat and drink will hike your expenses considerably. I'm kinda modest person when it comes to money and if your lifestyle doesn't have flash in it, you could put aside half of what you earn, no problem. Just to give you numerical perspective. At first glance, my apartment fell under that shock (without any awe!) category. Nevertheless, when I tried a substitution, it pleased me even less, so I observed that 'be careful what you ask for' adage, for most apartments paid for by school (and I'd venture to say goes for any branch) are in typical retro-Soviet architectural buildings. Other than hard on the eye, my place is functional with a caring landlord who comes to check periodically though I haven't experienced the brunt of Russian foul weather/winter. Having said that, I imagine it has handled plenty of winters and tenants before me, so I wouldn't worry to much about its capability. Hope these weren't too windy of replies Nathan, and be glad to speak to you in person if you so desire. At any rate, if you decide to come, I think you won't make a mistake. Similarly, I had my reservations before my arrival, but it's been a very nice story up to this point. Take care, and again best of luck to you, Alen Raise you hand if you think this guy (or potentially gal or potentially janitor) is a native speaker.

Experiences we have all had: walking into a room with a tremendous sense of purpose, only to realize that you have completely forgotten what the purpose was. Talking to someone in a restaurant and losing the thread of your conversation because you're distracted by the juicier one at the table next door. Slowing down as you walk because you're thinking about how to phrase a text message.
[ted_talkteaser id=1878]In today's talk, educational psychologist Peter Doolittle shares how each of these phenomena is related to working memory, that thing which allows us to store and process our immediate experiences and mix them with long-term memories.
"Life comes at us, and it comes at us very quickly," says Doolittle. "What we need to do is take the amorphous flow of experience and somehow extract meaning from it with a working memory that is about the size of a pea."

The baby brother to the Rebel XSi, the Canon EOS Rebel XS is the typical, almost-identical, but slightly less-powerful, version of that camera.
As with the XSi, Canon offers two body designs for the XS--an attractive solid black, and a less-attractive, two-tone, silver and black style. Each only comes in a single-lens kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Though it essentially uses the same body as the XSi, it shaves a couple of ounces of the weight; it only weighs 1 pound, 1.6 ounces. Its smooth, plastic body still feels a little on the cheap side, and I'm not crazy about the grip. I can't quite put my finger on the reason; it's not especially shallow, and Canon improved it over the XTi's with a more rubbery-feeling cover. Still, I don't find it as comfortable to hold as most other dSLRs. Almost all the buttons lie under your right hand, and each feels slightly different so that you can grope them without looking. None requires two-handed operation; when you push the button to change ISO, white balance, metering and so on, the menu persists while you navigate the options. (For more on the camera design, click through the slide show.)
The biggest operational advantage the XS offers over competitors is My Menu, which, unlike some other features, it inherits from higher-end models. With My Menu you can build a go-to-list of the most frequently accessed menu settings--in my case, for instance, Format and Live View settings. However, like the XSi, the menus can be--irritatingly--a little inconsistent and sometimes dumb. For instance, you can change ISO sensitivity with either the dial or the navigation buttons, but can only navigate metering choices via the navigation buttons. Also, in some cases, when you have two columns to navigate, as with Picture Style settings, it doesn't let you navigate to the right or left; you must navigate all the way down the first column to get to the settings in the second.
But, I consider the AF indicators in the viewfinder the most annoying aspect of operating the XS (this was true in the XSi, as well). The AF indicators are tiny red dots that briefly flash when focus locks. They're neither persistent nor large enough to be easy to spot, so I frequently found myself having to prefocus several times to make sure that the spot was on the correct subject and that it was focused. As you can imagine, it slows shooting a bit. Is it more annoying than the faint focus lines Sony uses? I think so.
For the most part, the XS offers a solid set of entry-level specs: 10-megapixel, APS-C-size, CMOS sensor (for Canon's traditional 1.6x focal-length multiplier) and 7-point user-selectable autofocus system. That falls between the Nikon D60's paltry three-area AF and the 9- and 11-point AF systems in the competing Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 and Pentax K200D, respectively. I also mark the switch from CompactFlash to SDHC in the plus column. Also, like the XSi, the XS includes Canon's Auto Lighting Optimizer, which automatically adjusts contrast and brightness in case the image you captured isn't quite perfect. Introduced last year in the 40D, the Auto Lighting Optimizer is now available in all exposure modes and employs face detection to prevent the underexposure of backlit faces I complained about in the XTi (and it works). Remaining specifications are in line with the XSi. For example, shutter speeds range from 30 seconds to 1/4000 of a second, with a flash sync speed of 1/200 of a second, and the camera employs a 35-zone TTL-metering system. Canon also offers the BG-E5 battery grip.
On the other hand, the XS lacks common perks Sony, Pentax, and Olympus include in their cameras, like in-body mechanical stabilization and a wireless flash controller in the body--a feature that I occasionally find quite useful. The inclusion of an image-stabilizing kit lens doesn't quite compensate, since additional optically stabilized lenses tend to cost more in the long run. The XS' sensitivity range also tops out at ISO 1600, whereas some others go to ISO 3200 (but those models generally don't have usable photo quality at that level). Though it offers a Live View shooting mode with contrast-detection AF, Live View's usefulness is limited without support from an articulating LCD, and it functions too slowly to be of any use with live subjects. Furthermore, all the manufacturers seem to incorrectly think that the equivalent of Canon's Picture Styles--custom contrast, sharpness saturation and color tone--are more important in this market segment than the capability to save groups of custom exposure, white balance, metering, drive-mode settings, and so on. My biggest peeve, though, is the lack of a spot meter--not even the huge 4-percent spot from the XSi.

Lebanon's Shadows of the Past
An unusual opening of a photo exhibition in the UNESCO Palace in Beirut – this is apparent at first glance. The viewer sees hundreds of rows of what look like wanted posters with faded photos of mostly young men looking down from the walls – the missing persons of Lebanon's civil war. Below the photos are a few lines: name, date of birth, the period in which they vanished.
The photo exhibition "Missing" is part of a nationwide campaign launched by the non-governmental organization "Umam Documentation & Research". "The whole idea behind our project is to promote awareness of the past in Lebanon, particularly the fate of those who vanished in the civil war," reported Nadeche Frondon, project manager of Umam. "We want to create a forum in the public for them."
A few months ago the initiators began contacting the families of missing persons as well as the "Committees for Missing Persons" to obtain photos from them and design the posters. So far 500 posters have been created, but by no means does this cover all of them, averred Frondon: "Meanwhile we have lists with names of over 1000 missing persons; but unfortunately we do not have a photo for each of them."
Amnesia instead of dealing with the past
The wounds from the civil war that ended in 1990 in the small country on the Levantine coast are far from healed. The number of persons who never returned after the war are estimated at 16,000 persons. Altogether at least 150,000 persons died during the conflict.
The non-governmental organization "Umam" wants to hold the mirror up to Lebanese politicians – for the levity with which the Amnesty Act of 1991 put to all civil war crimes to rest once and for all – amnesia instead of dealing with the past.
"Umam" also wants to arouse Lebanese citizens, to sensitize them to what really happened in their country during the civil war and to the fate of the victims of the more than a decade-long bloody conflict. "If Lebanon had come to terms with its violent past, the fifteen-year civil war, the political situation today would definitely be different than it is," remarked Monika Borgmann, curator of the exhibition and director of "Umam". "But Lebanon has not come to terms with it at all, and today it is practically a taboo to mention it."
The "Mothers of Plaza del Mayo" as role models
The photo project was not least of all inspired by the example of the "Mothers of Plaza del Mayo", an Argentinean human rights group that since 1977 has made the public aware of the disappearance of their sons and daughters with photos and banners and demanded an explanation from the military junta.
But also the "Algerian tragedy", the civil war between Islam extremists and the army in another Arab country gave the initiators the idea of launching a similar project in Lebanon.
"We call this exhibition an 'Exhibition in Progress'. Simply because the exhibition rooms now have computers and scanners, and we hope that other families will bring their photos so that this exhibition can continue to expand," explained Monika Borgmann.
World-wide access
The exhibition can also be viewed on a Web site (www.memoryatwork.org) that is to serve as a Lebanese platform. But this is not enough. In addition to the photo exhibition, seven workshops are being held in various regions of the country. Participating will be experts and victims of the civil war as well as politicians and members of the military.
The project is being financed, among others, by the German Finance Office, the Institute for Foreign Affairs (ifa) and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

Man faces OUI charges after state police cruiser crash
Castanza to be in court Monday
A 28-year-old Lowell man faces drunken driving charges after crashing into a Massachusetts State Police cruiser early Sunday morning, according to state police.
State police said a state trooper was responding to help another trooper in Lowell at about 2:17 a.m. when his cruiser was hit by another car at the intersection of Central and Gorham streets.
Police said the driver of the other car, a Honda Civic, was identified as Justin Castanza.
Police said Castanza was driving under the influence and ran a red light before the crash.
Neither the trooper nor Castanza were injured.
Police said they found a switchblade and fireworks in Castanza's car after the crash.
Castanza will be arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court on charges of operating under the influence of liquor; failure to stop at a red light; failure to yield to an emergency vehicle; carrying a dangerous weapon; and unlawful possession of fireworks.
