In Privilege, Shamus Khan returns to his alma mater to provide an inside look at an institution that has been the private realm of the elite for the past 150 years. He shows that St. Paul's students continue to learn what they always have--how to embody privilege. Yet, while students once leveraged the trappings of upper-class entitlement, family connections, and high culture, current St. Paul's students learn to succeed in a more diverse environment. To be the future leaders of a more democratic world, they must be at ease with everything from highbrow art to everyday life--from Beowulf to Jaws--and view hierarchies as ladders to scale. Through deft portrayals of the relationships among students, faculty, and staff, Khan shows how members of the new elite face the opening of society while still preserving the advantages that allow them to rule.
This is the goal of the Khan Academy, a passion project that grew from an ex-engineer and hedge funder's online tutoring sessions with his niece, who was struggling with algebra, into a worldwide phenomenon. Today millions of students, parents, and teachers use the Khan Academy's free videos and software, which have expanded to encompass nearly every conceivable subject; and Academy techniques are being employed with exciting results in a growing number of classrooms around the globe.
Like many innovators, Khan rethinks existing assumptions and imagines what education could be if freed from them. And his core idea-liberating teachers from lecturing and state-mandated calendars and opening up class time for truly human interaction-has become his life's passion. Schools seek his advice about connecting to students in a digital age, and people of all ages and backgrounds flock to the site to utilize this fresh approach to learning.
In THE ONE WORLD SCHOOLHOUSE, Khan presents his radical vision for the future of education, as well as his own remarkable story, for the first time. In these pages, you will discover, among other things:
How both students and teachers are being bound by a broken top-down model invented in Prussia two centuries ago Why technology will make classrooms more human and teachers more important How and why we can afford to pay educators the same as other professionals How we can bring creativity and true human interactivity back to learning Why we should be very optimistic about the future of learning.Parents and politicians routinely bemoan the state of our education system. Statistics suggest we've fallen behind the rest of the world in literacy, math, and sciences. With a shrewd reading of history, Khan explains how this crisis presented itself, and why a return to "mastery learning," abandoned in the twentieth century and ingeniously revived by tools like the Khan Academy, could offer the best opportunity to level the playing field, and to give all of our children a world-class education now.
More than just a solution, THE ONE WORLD SCHOOLHOUSE serves as a call for free, universal, global education, and an explanation of how Khan's simple yet revolutionary thinking can help achieve this inspiring goal.

Jensen argues that although chronic exposure to poverty can result in detrimental changes to the brain, the brain's very ability to adapt from experience means that poor children can also experience emotional, social, and academic success. A brain that is susceptible to adverse environmental effects is equally susceptible to the positive effects of rich, balanced learning environments and caring relationships that build students' resilience, self-esteem, and character.
Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, Teaching with Poverty in Mind reveals
* What poverty is and how it affects students in school;
* What drives change both at the macro level (within schools and districts) and at the micro level (inside a student's brain);
* Effective strategies from those who have succeeded and ways to replicate those best practices at your own school; and
* How to engage the resources necessary to make change happen.
Too often, we talk about change while maintaining a culture of excuses. We can do better. Although no magic bullet can offset the grave challenges faced daily by disadvantaged children, this timely resource shines a spotlight on what matters most, providing an inspiring and practical guide for enriching the minds and lives of all your students.
Mathematical Mindsets provides practical strategies and activities to help teachers and parents show all children, even those who are convinced that they are bad at math, that they can enjoy and succeed in math. Jo Boaler—Stanford researcher, professor of math education, and expert on math learning—has studied why students don't like math and often fail in math classes. She's followed thousands of students through middle and high schools to study how they learn and to find the most effective ways to unleash the math potential in all students.
There is a clear gap between what research has shown to work in teaching math and what happens in schools and at home. This book bridges that gap by turning research findings into practical activities and advice. Boaler translates Carol Dweck's concept of 'mindset' into math teaching and parenting strategies, showing how students can go from self-doubt to strong self-confidence, which is so important to math learning. Boaler reveals the steps that must be taken by schools and parents to improve math education for all. Mathematical Mindsets:Explains how the brain processes mathematics learning Reveals how to turn mistakes and struggles into valuable learning experiences Provides examples of rich mathematical activities to replace rote learning Explains ways to give students a positive math mindset Gives examples of how assessment and grading policies need to change to support real understanding
Scores of students hate and fear math, so they end up leaving school without an understanding of basic mathematical concepts. Their evasion and departure hinders math-related pathways and STEM career opportunities. Research has shown very clear methods to change this phenomena, but the information has been confined to research journals—until now. Mathematical Mindsets provides a proven, practical roadmap to mathematics success for any student at any age.
Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind reveals
* Smart, purposeful engagement strategies that all teachers can use to expand students' cognitive capacity, increase motivation and effort, and build deep, enduring understanding of content.
* The (until-now) unwritten rules for engagement that are essential for increasing student achievement.
* How automating engagement in the classroom can help teachers use instructional time more effectively and empower students to take ownership of their learning.
* Steps you can take to create an exciting yet realistic implementation plan.
Too many of our most vulnerable students are tuning out and dropping out because of our failure to engage them. It's time to set the bar higher. Until we make school the best part of every student's day, we will struggle with attendance, achievement, and graduation rates. This timely resource will help you take immediate action to revitalize and enrich your practice so that all your students may thrive in school and beyond.

All pain is real, and for many people it is a debilitating part of everyday life. In a world where 1 in 5 of us experience ongoing pain and where there is increasing evidence for the failure of synthetic drugs, take heart: help is at hand. It is now known that understanding more about why things hurt can actually help treat pain.
Recent advances in fields such as neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology and cellular biology have provided an explanatory platform from which to explore pain. In everyday language accompanied by quirky illustrations, Explain Pain Second Edition discusses how pain responses are produced by the brain, how responses to injury from the autonomic motor and immune systems in your body contribute to pain, and why pain can persist after tissues have had plenty of time to heal.
Co-author Dr David Butler, founder of the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, says that "it is no longer acceptable that pain be just managed: we must expect that it can be treated, and sufferers can alter it themselves through education."
Explain Pain has sold around 60,000 copies world-wide in 5 languages and continues to inspire clinical research and multidisciplinary pain treatment globally. Explain Pain aims to give people in pain the power to challenge pain and to consider new models for viewing what happens to your body and brain during pain. Once they have learnt about the processes involved they can follow a scientific route to recovery.
Why a second edition?
A decade of scientific research is a lot – and we need to keep on top of it.
In the last 10 years there has been increasing support for therapeutic neuroscience education from clinical trials, educational science, neuroscience, plain logic and the failure of drug therapy on chronic pain outcomes. Lorimer and David have subtly changed some of the language so that the second edition can be delivered with much more authority than the first.
Noigroup Publications (2013), 133 pages, 90+ illustrations and diagrams, half-canadian wire bound. ISBN: 978-0-9873426-6-9

Not necessarily, says Sara Goldrick-Rab, and with Paying the Price, she shows in damning detail exactly why. Quite simply, college is far too expensive for many people today, and the confusing mix of federal, state, institutional, and private financial aid leaves countless students without the resources they need to pay for it.
Drawing on an unprecedented study of 3,000 young adults who entered public colleges and universities in Wisconsin in 2008 with the support of federal aid and Pell Grants, Goldrick-Rab reveals the devastating effect of these shortfalls. Half the students in the study left college without a degree, while less than 20 percent finished within five years. The cause of their problems, time and again, was lack of money. Unable to afford tuition, books, and living expenses, they worked too many hours at outside jobs, dropped classes, took time off to save money, and even went without adequate food or housing. In many heartbreaking cases, they simply left school—not with a degree, but with crippling debt. Goldrick-Rab combines that shocking data with devastating stories of six individual students, whose struggles make clear the horrifying human and financial costs of our convoluted financial aid policies.
America can fix this problem. In the final section of the book, Goldrick-Rab offers a range of possible solutions, from technical improvements to the financial aid application process, to a bold, public sector–focused "first degree free" program. What's not an option, this powerful book shows, is doing nothing, and continuing to crush the college dreams of a generation of young people.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- State regulators say California's first auction of greenhouse gas emissions permits went smoothly, and that all of the pollution permits available for 2013 were sold.
The California Air Resources Board said 23.1 million permits _ which allow for one ton carbon _ sold for $10.09 each at last week's auction.
The permits are part of California's so-called "cap-and-trade" program _ a central piece of the state's 2006 global warming regulations seeking to dramatically reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases.
Businesses are required to either cut emissions to cap levels or buy pollution permits called "allowances" from other companies for each extra ton of emissions discharged annually.
Petroleum refiners, manufacturing companies and other industries have been outspoken opponents of the program, calling it an illegal tax that will hurt California's economic recovery.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth made a career-high nine saves to help the New England Revolution secure its fifth shutout of the season in a 0-0 draw with the Portland Timbers on Thursday night at Jeld-Wen Field.
For the Revs (2-3-3, 9 pts.), it was their second consecutive clean sheet on the heels of last weekend's 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Union. The Timbers (3-1-5, 14 pts.), meanwhile, extended their club-record unbeaten run to seven games (3-0-4) despite being shut out for the first time this season.
There were two enforced changes to the Revolution side which claimed that win over Philly last weekend. Darrius Barnes took over for the suspended Chris Tierney at left back, while Bilal Duckett was recalled from his loan with the Rochester Rhinos (USL PRO) to fill in for the injured Andrew Farrell at right back.
The Revolution's new-look backline was tested early and Shuttleworth came up with a pair of key saves on Darlington Nagbe in the opening 15 minutes. Shuttleworth first made a strong save at his near post on a tight-angle drive, followed up by a huge kick save on a clean breakaway three minutes later.
Portland continued to press as the half progressed but was limited to a series of long-range efforts, while the Revolution so nearly grabbed a goal in the 42nd minute. Diego Fagundez weaved his way across the field before dishing off to Ryan Guy, whose drive toward the near upper corner forced a quality save from Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts.
Shuttleworth was called upon again early in the second half when Ryan Johnson found space for a free volley from seven yards. The Revs keeper was perfectly positioned and reacted quickly to knock down the shot before scrambling to secure the ball and prevent a follow-up chance.
Saer Sene entered the game for the Revolution in the 67th minute and wasted little time getting involved, unleashing a 25-yard drive in the 72nd minute which had Ricketts reaching but flew inches over the crossbar. Sene was then denied by Ricketts in the 84th minute when his low shot appeared destined for the lower right corner only for Ricketts to make a clutch save.
Both sides had chances to grab a late winner in stoppage time, but as they did all night, Shuttleworth and Ricketts both produced big saves to keep it scoreless.
The Revs will now return to Foxborough for a pair of home games next week, beginning on Wednesday, May 8, when they'll host Real Salt Lake at Gillette Stadium.

MOREHEAD, Ky. (Nov. 21, 2006) - Hitting on 54 percent of their shots in the second half and posting a 50 percent clip from 3-point range for the game, Morehead State raced past ETSU 77-56 Tuesday night in non-conference men's basketball action inside Johnson Arena.
Guards Quentin Pryor and Cordaryl Ballard led the outside attack for the Eagles, hitting on a combined 7-of-9 from beyond the arc. Pryor scored a game-high 24 points, while Ballard pitched in 10. Along with that outside tandem, forward Shaun Williams netted a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds to aid the Eagles' cause.

West Virginia sheriff fatally shot, suspect in custody
WILLIAMSON, W.Va. – A new sheriff who was cracking down on the drug trade in southern West Virginia's coalfields was fatally shot Wednesday in the spot where he usually parked his car for lunch, and State Police said the suspect was in a hospital with gunshot wounds inflicted by a deputy who chased him.
Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum died of his wounds, but State Police Capt. David Nelson didn't say how many times he was shot or offer many other details as two dozen law enforcement officers gathered around him on the courthouse steps.
The suspect, 37-year-old Tennis Melvin Maynard, was being treated at a hospital in Huntington late Wednesday.
Nelson said Maynard was fleeing from a deputy and crashed his car into a bridge in nearby Delbarton. Maynard got out of the vehicle and pulled a gun on the deputy, who fired in self-defense, Nelson said. Authorities did not announce what charges Maynard might face.
Crum was elected last year and had just taken office in January, but he'd already helped indict dozens of suspected drug dealers through the county's new Operation Zero Tolerance.
It's unclear whether that crusade was related to his death, but residents and county officials suspect it.
County Commission President John Mark Hubbard said Crum's team has targeted people "who spread the disease of addiction among our residents."
"We were and we are proud of him and his service," he said. "To say Eugene will be missed is a vast understatement."
The county courthouse was evacuated and closed after the shooting. Streets into the city of about 3,200 were temporarily blocked off and officers held white sheets around the crime scene, Crum's body further shielded by two vehicles.
Later, a bouquet of red roses with a red ribbon was fastened to a guardrail above the parking lot.
Though there is no indication of any connection, Crum's killing comes on the heels of a Texas district attorney and his wife being shot to death in their home over the weekend, and just weeks after Colorado's corrections director also was gunned down at his home.
Delegate Harry Keith White, who campaigned with Crum last year, said his friend was killed in the same place where he parked his car most days to eat lunch, near the site of a former pharmacy known for illegally distributing pills. He wanted to be certain the "pill mill" remained closed.
"I think anybody you ask would tell you he was a great guy, always with a positive attitude, always trying to help people," White said. "It's just a sad, sad day for Mingo County and the state of West Virginia."
Operation Zero Tolerance was Crum's way to make good on a campaign pledge, White said.
State, federal and local authorities have all tried to crack down on West Virginia's drug problem, which centers on the illegal sale of prescription drugs in the southern counties. Mingo County is in the southwest corner of West Virginia, on the border with Kentucky.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says West Virginia has the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the nation. And in February, federal officials said they had prosecuted more than 200 pill dealers in the past two years.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin called Crum's killing "shocking" and pledged the assistance of his office and whatever other federal agencies are needed.
U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, the Democrat whose district includes Mingo County, said the sheriff, who was married with two children, was new to his job but not the cause of justice.
"Every law-abiding citizen demands justice for this tragedy that has shaken our sense of decency, but not our resolve, to maintain law and order," he said.
Kenneth Jude, 23, of Chatteroy, has known Crum his whole life.
"They shouldn't scare cops into not wanting to do their jobs," he said.
"It's people like that that give this place a bad name -- somebody that would do something that stupid, to kill somebody that's trying to make it a better place," Jude said. "You wouldn't think something like that would happen, especially in the middle of town."
Jerry Cline stood near the site of the slaying hours later, recalling how Crum watched the traffic and the community but "never messed with nobody unless they were violating the law."
Authorities have not said whether the shooting was related to Crum's drug crackdown, but it was on Cline's mind.
"He told them right before he got in as sheriff, `If you're dealing drugs, I'm coming after you. I'm cleaning this town up,"' Cline said. "... He got out just to do one thing, and that's the clean this town up. That's all that man tried to do."
Cline's wife, Loretta, said the sheriff was a good friend to everyone, even those who barely knew him.
"Once you meet him one time, it's like you've known him all your life," she said. "Every time you'd see him, he was always the same. He always had a smile on his face. He was a very loving person."
Crum had been a magistrate for 12 years and had previously served as police chief in Delbarton. He won the primarily handily and ran unopposed in the general election in the fall.
Delegate Justin Marcum, D-Mingo and an assistant county prosecutor, called Crum "a true friend to the county."
Williamson sits along the Tug Fork River in a part of the state long associated with violence.
Mingo and neighboring McDowell County are home to the legendary blood feud between the Hatfield family of West Virginia and the McCoy family of Kentucky, a conflict dating to the Civil War.
Crum's county was dubbed "Bloody Mingo" during the early 20th century mine wars, when unionizing miners battled Baldwin-Felts security agents hired by the coal operators.
In May 1920, after evicting striking miners in Red Jacket, some of the Baldwin-Felts men tried to board a train in nearby Matewan but were confronted by the mayor and the chief of police, Sid Hatfield, a former miner, who had family ties to the Hatfields in the feud.
After a gun battle recreated in the 1987 John Sayles film "Matewan," the mayor, two miners, a bystander and three agents lay dead. Hatfield became a hero but was gunned down on the courthouse steps a year later in Matewan.
In the slayings of the Texas district attorney and his wife, officials suspect a white supremacist prison gang. Those killings happened a couple of months after one of the county's assistant district attorneys was killed near his courthouse office.
Colorado's corrections director, Tom Clements, was killed March 19 when he answered the doorbell at his home outside Colorado Springs. Two days later, Evan Spencer Ebel, a white supremacist and former Colorado inmate suspected of shooting Clements, died in a shootout about 100 miles from Kaufman. Since the killings, worried authorities are talking about better protecting prosecutors and other law enforcers.
Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has described himself as "America's toughest sheriff" and is a national hero to conservatives on immigration issues, said he was saddened by Crum's slaying and that he is struggling to understand the recent murders of law enforcement officials.
Arpaio himself has been the target of numerous threats, prompting the need for a security detail.
"The brazenness of these acts is confounding. Inside one year, two of my deputies were shot, one killed and one nearly killed and now elected law enforcement officials across the nation seem to be being targeted," he said.
The Officer Down Memorial Page says 136 police officers in West Virginia have died in the line of duty from deliberate gunfire.

With the days staying brighter longer, signs of growth are popping up in local gardens around every corner. Because some areas are still affected by frost while others are already basking in warmer weather, different vegetables hit their ripeness at different times throughout the United States. Here is a list of a few of the more common springtime vegetables.
In warmer regions, asparagus is one of the first vegetables to appear. In some places they can reach their peak as early as February and in cooler climates, it can be as late as May. These stalks are simple to prepare and there are so many different ways that you'll never get bored---try roasting, grilling or steaming them. Asparagus is packed with vitamin K and foliate.
Celeriac is an odd looking bulb that often gets bypassed in the grocery store or market because of its bizarre appearance. It is knobby and gnarled but this vegetable is one of the most vitamin packed spring vegetables around. It is an excellent source of fiber and is full of vitamin C, K, B6, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and manganese. To prepare this vegetable, trim off any leaves and the root end. Scrub the bulb well and cut off the thick skin. Grate or cut into thin sticks if serving raw or boil cubes before mashing. Celeriac does well in stews or when roasted.
In many parts of the United States, fresh fennel is only available during the spring months. This vegetable, with its licorice-like flavoring, contains a variety of antioxidants that reduce inflammation and may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Fennel can be grilled, sautéed, roasted, eaten fresh on salads and even used as a base for soups, stocks or stews.
Springtime is high time for mustard greens, which reach their peak during cool parts of the spring and fall. This leafy green is an excellent way to add a little flavor to the average salad. The greens are high in vitamin C, A and calcium. The younger greens are tasty raw but the older leaves should be cooked. Greens can last for up to five days when wrapped in moist paper towels and stored in the crisper. Try eating them raw, in soups, steamed, boiled or sautéed.
Unlike other onions, Vidalia onions have a short springtime growing season. These sweet onions work perfectly in salads, egg dishes and dressings. They are different from your average white or yellow onion because of their high water content. In addition to their heart healthy flavonoids, their sulfur compounds are believed to help reduce symptoms of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
For many people, the most synonymous springtime food is the artichoke. This vegetable can hold up to late season frost fairly well, with the cool only affecting its outer leaves. The rest of the vegetable, in particular its heart, is protected by all its thick petals. This tough vegetable is easy to prepare; simply trim off its outer leaves, clip back the spiny points and remove the fuzzy thistles around the heart. The vegetable can be steamed, grilled and broiled without much fuss. It is best when served with a vinaigrette or melted butter as a dipping sauce.

The "Visions and Viewpoints" show opens Friday, Nov. 30, at the Lincoln Center, the gallery's annual juried compilation of current art. This year, jurors Louis Recchia and Zoa Ace, nationally recognized artists who reside in Berthoud, chose to build the show around the pulse and direction of modern art.
Gallery coordinator Jeanne Shoaff received art pieces ranging from found object sculptures to paper quilts, ceramics, video and photography.
Visions and Viewpoints
What: . A showcase of works in painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, photography, sculpture, video and new media.
When: Show runs through Jan. 5. Art Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, noon-6 p.m. Saturday, and evenings of performances.
Where: Lincoln Center, 417 W. Magnolia St., Fort Collins.
Cost: Free.
Info: Call 416-2737 or visit fcgov.com/lctix/galleries-exhibitions.php.
"Louis and Zoa decided to do a survey of modern art and not relate it to a theme," Shoaff said. "We wanted the exhibition to serve as an interpretation of the time we live in. We wanted people to come to the show and read the pulse of what is going on in contemporary art, so it is all media and pretty broad."
To build the show, artists responded to an online call and submitted digital photos of their work. The jurors then looked through all of those photos and narrowed the show down to 30 artists and a total of 56 pieces. Recchia and Ace wanted the artist pieces to speak for themselves, so they viewed all of the submitted art photos without artist statements.
"The way we approached it was to make ourselves be as open to the artwork as we could," Recchia said. "We didn't want our own viewpoint to be our determining factor. We wanted to look at the artwork and determine where the artist was coming from. We just wanted to respond to the work the way the artist intended to. The work had to show a certain amount of talent and passion, but that was a given."
So what is modern art? From Recchia's perspective, the definition of art is constantly evolving.
"Everything is art," he said. "People will say their hairdresser is an artist. Art is supposed to communicate to people. You would probably get a different answer from each artist, but I think communication is one of the essential factors, as in the artist trying to communicate with the viewer. And the viewer has a responsibility to listen. You look at the work of a gallery and learn a lot more by trying to listen to the artwork rather than coming in with a preconceived notion of what art should be. If a person looks at a piece of art and doesn't like it, sometimes it is a failure on the part of the viewer, not the artist."
Over Recchia's 40-year art career, he has looked at art from a lot of different viewpoints. This experience prepared him to jury the show.
"How do you know if a painting is good or not?" he said. "After you have looked at over 10,000 paintings, you just know. Contemporary art is very eclectic. You can walk into one gallery and see something totally different than another gallery. We were able to accept a lot of different viewpoints. I am pretty happy with the way it came out. There is something of everything in there. Almost every aspect of contemporary art is represented somewhere in the show."

A 24-year-old performer was burned on-stage Monday during a Lyric Opera House dress rehearsal.
Wesley Daniel is hospitalized in serious to critical condition, at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood.
Daniel was attempting to spit out fire balls, when his face caught fire.
He was wearing a fireproof mask and costume, but he still suffered second degree burns to his face and inside his throat.
It happened in front of a thousand people, including a Chicago tribune photographer. The stage was packed at the time with other young performers, including Sherry Ochoa's daughter.
"I was really excited, then all of a sudden…" Ochoa said "flames!"
"Yeah– that happens. And they were on the stage and somebody was stomping them out."
The Lyric Opera Director of Facilities, Rich Regan said "The actor moved off to stage left, there are fire guards on stage that took control of the situation, emergency personnel were called and the fire curtain was brought in."
Video from the web of what the stunt is supposed to look shows an actor breathing fire and stilt-walking simultaneously. It is a bit elaborate.
The misstep happened five hours into a five and an half-hour opera, a full dress rehearsal of the Wagner comedy Die Meistersinger.
Some audience members emerging from the opera house still a bit shaken. Audience member Angela Allyn said she just hopes the performer is OK.
The Lyric Opera says that Daniel's stunt had been approved by the Chicago Fire Department.
