The York College Writing Across the Curriculum requirement legislated by the York College Senate in May, 2001 includes provisions for Writing Enhancement in General Education courses and for Writing Intensive courses in all the disciplines.
"All courses included among the College’s General Education requirements will be designated and taught as Writing Enhanced."
It continues by specifiying that the writing activities and assignments be "designed to develop students’ competence in reading, critical thinking, and writing." Writing enhanced courses not only include writing; they use it as a means to develop thinking and the ability to express thoughts.
Completing three Writing Intensive courses is a graduation requirement at York College. The specific number of courses that each student must take depends upon whether the student started at the College as a freshman or entered the College as a transfer student. These courses exemplify the principles of the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) movement by advancing writing skills within the disciplines. A Writing Intensive course is a work-in-progress for the student. It is another way to move the student toward becoming a liberally educated person who can think critically and communicate effectively in a given discipline.
All instructors of courses that can be offered in fulfillment of the York College General Education requirement have a responsibility to incorporate informal writing-to-learn exercises and writing assignments-not only to promote the learning of the material, but to develop students’ competencies in analytical reading, critical thinking, and writing.
A handbook is available to all General Education instructors to share best practices in using writing within the context of General Education courses.
An important aim of the WI requirement is to help master the skills needed to write for the curriculum of a particular discipline in the language and style preferred in that field.
"For graduation the College will require completion of two designated Writing Intensive (WI) courses in the lower division of the curriculum (at the 100- or 200- level) . . . and one designated WI course in the upper division (at the 300-level or above), within the major discipline design."
"WI courses are subject-area courses that build on the foundational writing courses (English 125 and Writing 301, 302, or 303) to practice and extend skills in reading, critical thinking, and writing by incorporating guided writing assignments."
This second provision of the WAC legislation requires students to elect the appropriate number of WI courses, and requires the academic disciplines to define and designate WI courses in sufficient numbers for students to be able to meet the requirement in a timely way. Courses may be designated either on a semester-to-semester basis, or as a permanent part of the curriculum.
An emphasis on high-stakes writing assignments (see "Low- and High-Stakes Writing" on pages 24-25) also distinguishes WI courses from the Writing Enhanced courses in General Education.
Currently, students who entered York College in or after Fall 2003 must complete a minimum of three writing intensive (WI) courses, two in the lower division, and one in the upper division within the major.
Faculty members and students must understand that there is a distinction between a WI course and a course that is intense because it includes a lot of writing.
A WI course includes carefully crafted formal writing assignments that are linked to the unfolding of course material. Assignments are not "add-ons."
Formal writing assignments are guided; that is, assignment sheets are detailed and students receive ongoing feedback and advice on work in progress.
The assignments and guidance build on the work of the foundational writing courses to promote a common vocabulary and approach to the writing process; there is an emphasis on critical reading and thinking as well as an insistence on professional preparation of written work.
The designated WI courses must meet defined criteria because they are part of a graduation requirement; completion of WI courses is noted formally on each student’s transcript.
The criteria for WI courses keep the focus on the process of engaging students in writing activities for the discipline in a way that can lead to improved reading, writing, and thinking skills. These criteria are based on the recommendations of the CUNY-wide Faculty Advisory Committee for WAC.
"Formal papers" means that these assignments usually draw upon reading and/or research and require thought, planning, organization, reflection, and some form of scholarly research. "Finished pages" means the standard typed,double-spaced page with one-inch margins. Note: Essay examinations are not formal papers because they do not involve planning and revision. Therefore, essay examinations are not included toward the 10-12 finished pages required in WI courses.
Papers are assigned in a way that further develops students’ writing competence through a process of drafting and revision, drawing on the learning of the foundational courses, with individual feedback on work in progress.
This pedagogical design involves working with each student in a process approach that systematically moves the student toward a final paper. This process is introduced in English 125 and in the Writing 300 courses.
The process requires the student to think critically, revise, and edit the paper so that the final submission is closer to the goal of the assignment. In upper-division WI courses, the paper should begin to reflect the dexterity of communication skills needed in graduate school and the workplace.
Some in-class attention is given to the writing process.
Informal reading, critical thinking, and writing activities are used during the semester.
giving feedback that lets students know where their work has succeeded and where it has fallen short.
Course grades are based in significant part on student’s written work. The percentage of the final grade determined by formal writing is, of course, at the instructor’s discretion in the context of each course. A survey of faculty practices indicates that written work, including the process that leads to the final submission, generally accounts for 40% to 60% of the final grade in many WI courses.
The special objectives of a WI course are incorporated into the syllabus. Students need to know why a particular course is designated WI and how this affects the coursework. An explanation is needed in class and on the course syllabus. This explanation should include a clear description of the process that an instructor will use to move students toward the final submission and the role preliminary submissions will have in the paper’s ultimate grade, preferably on the course syllabus.
Course enrollment is capped at 25 so that student work receives appropriate attention and that the process of writing for the discipline can be adequately addressed.
Writing to Learn is writing that is closely associated with the learning process as it occurs in class (lecture or discussion) and as it occurs outside of class (reading and assignments). It is the effort to articulate thoughts that move students toward clarity and coherence.

Last year, Tinder introduced their Swipe Off campaign, enticing students to participate by giving away a free Cardi B concert. By signing up for Tinder U and meeting potential matches, you earned points for your school, which were calculated at the end of the specified dates to see which school won. With the competitiveness of March Madness underway, everybody is fighting to see which university is the strongest. Which campus has the most love though? This year, Tinder is beginning the same campaign but instead of Cardi B, they're teaming up with Juice WRLD to give away a free concert for your school.
Students are invited to participate by making the most matches through Tinder U and whichever school ends up winning will get a visit from the Chicago crooner. Juice can easily be considered one of the most successful artists of the last twelve months and he's the owner of one of the most popular songs in the world so it makes sense that Tinder would be pushing him as their latest guest.
Over 1,200 school are eligible to compete but only one will end up with the top prize. It's pretty worth it to give it a shot too. Think of it like this -- you may end up meeting the love of your life and hearing Juice WRLD perform live. Double win!

A concert under the direction of maestro Marek Janowski at the Witold Lutosławski Chain XVI Festival, concerts at the French edition of La Folle Journée and participation in the POLIN Music Festival are just some of Sinfonia Varsovia’s plans for February. The Orchestra’s musicians will also appear in a concert in the Sinfonia Varsovia Chamber Music series. We also have Smykofonia concerts for our youngest listeners.
The theme of the 25th edition of the La Folle Journée Festival is “Carnets de voyage”, or Travel Diaries. Sinfonia Varsovia’s musicians will perform no fewer than 11 times during the Festival, accompanying such outstanding soloists as Boris Berezovsky, Nelson Goerner and Raphaël Sévère. This year, the programmes of the concerts will consist of music written by composers for whom travelling was an inseparable part of their lives and a valuable source of inspiration. Apart from works by Mozart and Mendelssohn, audiences in France will also hear Sinfonia Varsovia perform works by Chopin and Moniuszko.
Considered to be one of the finest conductors of the past one half century, Marek Janowski will conduct Sinfonia Varsovia in a concert during the Witold Lutosławski Chain XVI Festival. On 9 February in the Concert Studio of Polish Radio we will have an opportunity to hear Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A major Op.92, coupled with the Concerto for Orchestra, composed by the patron of the Festival. Even though Marek Janowski was born in Warsaw on the eve of World War II, he spent all of his life in Germany. He worked with, among others, the opera in Hamburg and Dortmund, and with the Dresden Philharmonic. In 2002 he took over the position of artistic director of the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Berlin. Tickets are available at polskieradio.bilety24.pl.
The second concert in the Sinfonia Varsovia Chamber Music series will take place in the Orchestra’s home three days before this date, on 6 February at 7:00 p.m. This year, the theme of the cycle is “From Duet to Octet”, so the second ensemble to appear in terms of size is the trio, made up of Sinfonia Varsovia musicians Celina Kotz (violin) and Jakub Waszczeniuk (trumpet) with a guest appearance by pianist Piotr Spoz. The programme of the concert features music of both Americas, including works by Eric Ewazen, James Stephenson and Astor Piazzolla’s famous Oblivion.
You are also invited to attend an identical concert on 11 February at 7:00 p.m. at the Służew Centre of Culture.
Admission to the concert at 272 Grochowska Street is free. Free entrance tickets for the concert in the Służew Centre of Culture are available at www.biletyna.pl.
Sinfonia Varsovia will also perform in the opening concert of the POLIN Music Festival: History Between Sounds (15 February 7:00 p.m.). Conducted by Marzena Diakun, the Orchestra will perform "Akeda" by Noam Sheriff, one of Israel’s foremost contemporary composers and Mieczysław Weinberg’s Rhapsody on Moldavian Themes Op. 47 No. 3 (version for violin and orchestra). Works by composers of the youngest generation will be performed after the intermission. Sturdivant Adams’ "Polin" is a three-movement musical illustration of the history of Jews in Poland. The work was inspired by the composer’s visit in the Warsaw museum and so the first performance of the work in the venue acquires special meaning. The programme of the concert also includes two works connected with Musical Postcards programme, in which composers send short musical postcards, impressions on their cultures. The first work is “Trip” by Nawras Al Taky, in which the 22 year-old Syrian musicians talks about losing his homeland. The reply to that work is “Dom jest gdzie indziej” [Home is Elsewhere] by Mateusz Śmigasiewicz – a composition that discusses a constant journey. The soloists will be violinists Linus Roth and Michael Guttman and cellist Jing Zhao. The concert will be conducted by Marzena Diakun. Tickets are available at www.bilety.polin.pl.
To our youngest listeners and their parents we recommend family fun at Smykofonia [Toddler Philharmonic] Valentine’s Day concerts. The theme of these concerts on 16 and 17 February is “La ci darem la mano”, from W. A. Mozart’s famous opera Don Giovanni. We will hear that duet and many other love songs performed by Karolina Makuła (soprano) and Adam Zaremba (baritone). Accompanying them will be Mirosław Kulczyński (oboe) and Artur Pilch (piano). Tickets are available at www.smykofonia.pl.

Just as the weather gets warmer, Scottish company Endura has launched a superlight 85 gram jersey as part of its FS260 pro-level kit.
With an athletic cut which avoids windflap, the jersey is the same spec as those supplied to the Movistar, although without their colour scheme. Using a climate chamber to simulate an alpine climb at 30ºC, Endura claims that the rapid-wicking fabric of the new jersey is 15% better at keeping a rider cool than an entry-level jersey.
When working hard under hot conditions, your body automatically diverts blood to the skin to increase cooling. This results in less blood being available to flow to the working muscles, slowing you down. So a lighter jersey which aids airflow and cooling by wicking sweat more easily will result in a cooler core and more bloodflow to your legs.
Since the rider’s back is more exposed to the sun that their front but wind cooling is mostly to the front, the fabric of the back and sleeves of the jersey is more substantial, whereas the front is made of a super-light mesh material. Endura claims an SPF of 25+ for the fabric at the rear. There is further ventilation under the arms, a three-quarter length zipper and the usual three rear pockets.
The new jersey comes in sizes S to XXL and will retail for £64.99. All we need is a heatwave – or a trip to the Alps.
For more details head over to the Endura website.

In anticipation of this exciting decision the surfing Federations from across Britain, today, announce the signing of an agreement that forms the foundations for the future development of the sport across the British Islands and enabling a British Olympic Squad for 2020.
The formation of British Surfing Union of Recognised Federations (‘BSURF’) unites the Federations to develop future British Squads. BSURF will create a framework outling how the governing bodies will come together to prepare, select and manage a future British team when required. The BSURF agreement offers each home nation a model for collaboration and mutual support.
“For the sport of surfing, these are very exciting times, and the surfing Federations now embark on a journey to build an effective strategy and development plan that will prepare British athletes for the world stage in readiness for the Olympic Games 2020”. says David Ferguson, President of the Channel Islands Surfing Federation.

In my first training session with a def+ to all- blade (=> Sägemeister Bu) I had difficulties while playing passively. But I realized nevertheless a great potential when playing actively. At the end of the second training session I noticed that the rate of errors was drastically lowered. So in the next two sessions I switched back to the off- blade (=> Fette Keule) which I had used for the last 2 years. Especially the effiency of LP-attacks was greatly enhanced by the faster blade. To my surprise I could now also generate an efficient passive play with this combination of LP & blade.
Dr.Neubauer TROUBLE MAKER. I think best one. I play this long pimple. After ban frictionless long pimle this one best one for passive blocking and play near the table.
How soft are the pimples?
Soft like Viper soft long pimple but not fast. I play on Achim Rendler PREFERENCE(new model). Not give spinreversall like frictionless pimple but balls goes very strange specially when hit the serve balls. TROUBLE MAKER have very friction but insensitive for spin(unbelievable no one any rubber like this). I Play with GEWO select pro 3 star balls.
So yet another long Pimple from Dr N. I’ve spent a fortune trying all Dr N long Pimple rubbers over the years and I’ve now come to my senses. Churning long pimples as they do with the marketing blurb to go with each launch does not wash anymore. I know there are different styles of play for long pimple rubbers but they all too similar and don’t warrant the high price!!!
Ever tried, Ever failed? No Matter.
This rubber is also getting mostly good reviews on the normally übercritical German pimple sites, so it must be at least decent. Got a sheet on order. Hope it plays as good as the early reviews say.
Pimple do seem soft, fairly widely spaced... I think I'll have to try it as well.
I've had a light hit with it and will post some more comprehensive thoughts soon, but initial impressions are that it's very good.
Passive blocks seem to fly low and skid off the surface of the table. It had overall good control and you can hitnwith it. In fact it's probably a little easier to play with than Gangster but creates the sinking skidding balls that Desperado 2 does. Hitting, lifting and flicking with it is very easy as well.
Oh and it's remarkably insensitive to spin!
But how troublesome is it for your opponent? What’s the disturbance / reversal effect like?
I played with Troublemaker last night. And promptly lost to some players I normally beat. I then switched it to a different blade and it performed better.
My current technique is based on what I can do with Bomb Talent and Dawei 388D-1. With Troublemaker, some shots worked well and some were worse. Handhold blocks were pretty useless, but Troublemaker is good for bumps, chop blocking, sideswipes and hits. I dropped more serves in the net than normal and lifting wasn't so hot.
The unforced errors are likely just a matter of adjustment. I'm not sold on it yet, but Troublemaker offers enough promise to keep using it for awhile.
Still using it. This seems like a pretty good pip for most LP shots (except the lift which tends to float long). On the slow side (way slower than Bomb Talent or Grass Dtecs). You have to close the angle a bit against heavy loops or it pops up. Use active strokes and you'll be rewarded. Works well against low-spin players also. Gonna try it on some various blades. It has potential.
Doesn’t sound anything special. Just another Dr N long pip from there production line!!! Has anyone made a list of all their long pips you’d be shocked !
We still have a batch of about 10 test rubbers available for forum members around the world, including OOAK.
If you are interested in testing the rubber (free of charge of course) just let me know by email.
I believe 'Trouble Maker' is a real innovation, it would be good to have your feedback about it.

Wolters Kluwer’s compliant document solutions enable it to generate, print, fulfill and deliver compliant dynamic content. By using dynamic content, Wolters Kluwer can assist in reducing the number of “customized” documents historically used by servicers to meet state-specific regulatory guidelines.
With each new rule that’s released by regulators, banks face an additional set of compliance challenges that must be met or else, and a new survey from Wolters Kluwer Financial Services shows just how concerned banks are by those new compliance challenges.
Maybe a rate hike isn’t a big deal. Also, there’s something happening with wages that no one is talking about. And the market capacity for housing? We got that covered, too. If you want to know what’s happening in housing and mortgage finance, this is your stop.
With the huge adoption of managed IT services (better known as SaaS or cloud services), an SOC 2 audit provides a definitive statement of security assurance. This warrant is exactly the kind of information that financial institutions need when evaluating managed service providers.
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services acquired a substantial portion of Austin-based Stormwater Research Group, which provides flood compliance solutions to the mortgage banking industry. Wolters Kluwer will expand its presence in the flood determination aspect of mortgage lending with its acquisition of Stormwater, which provides both basic and life-of-loan flood determination services.
In advance of the new requirements added to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) that take effect January 1, 2010, the Minneapolis-based Wolters Kluwer Financial Services launched its RESPA Tool Kit to help financial institutions understand and implement the changes. The software provides an overview of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) changes, including revisions to the good faith estimate and HUD-1 and HUD-1A documents, as well as settlement cost booklets intended clarify loan terms to consumers.
Beginning in August, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services will use several of its technology solutions to test mortgages against the Federal Reserve's new higher-priced mortgage thresholds that will take effect October 1.
Wolters Kluwer Financial Services' new Disclosure Manager Solution will enable institutions to comply with the new Truth-in-Lending Act (Regulation Z) through a single, secure, electronic system, the company said today. On May 8, the Federal Reserve Board finalized its early disclosure rules within Regulation Z, which are meant to ensure consumers receive disclosures explaining the cost of a mortgage earlier in the lending process. Wolters Kluwer says its system offers the first complete solution for automating the entire early disclosure process.

2 Brothers Moving just made my month!They were punctual and hard working. They treated my belongings as if they were their own. The couch sectional was too wide for the door, so they lifted it over the patio wall! Talk about coming up with solutions.Would definitely recommend them.
Two Brothers Movers moved my best friend over a year ago. They were awesome! I recommended them to my parents, and they far exceeded our expectations!!! They spent days helping my parents move. They are so kind and take absolute care when moving belongings. They have taken such great care in making sure my parent's belongings get into their new house and that everything was set up and ready to go. My Dad is retired from the military, and in 25+ years of moving, I'm not sure we've had a better moving company! I would HIGHLY recommend them!Edit: Well, we thought all was going well, and then one person from the company set a price; the next day, another person set a higher price. Word of mouth advertising is better than anything else. Why would they mess up a good thing?! Please don't ask for one amount and then up the price $500 the next day. Not good for business!!!
Elmer Lopez and his team did a fascinating job. It has been a pleasure working with 2 Brother Movers. They made it fun to work with them. Any referrals I can help them with, I will send them their way.
Beware!!! This "moving" company showed up over 2 hours late with no notice. I booked 2 movers and only one showed up. Then for the icing on the cake 20 minutes into the move the 1 guy who did show up bailed saying it was to much work! Wtf? Look elsewhere!

Department of Labor issues stricter procedures for "press lock-ups"
The U.S. Department of Labor issued stricter procedures last week for media organizations participating in the department-named "press lock-ups," which allows selected reporters a 30-minute window in a highly-controlled environment to preview economic data before the information is made public.
Media organizations say the new procedures, which limit their use of computers and Internet access, are too restrictive, but the department maintains that they're essentially doing the press a favor by even providing them with advance releases of data.
"This is a courtesy we provide. And let me say it's one that I think is important and very well worth doing," said Carl Fillichio, the department's senior adviser for communications and public affairs to reporters during a conference call on Monday. "But it – and participation by news organizations in it – is not a right."
Charles Glasser, media counsel for Bloomberg News, sent a letter to the department complaining about the new policy.
"Make no mistake, these rules that handcuff the financial press does not merely represent an inconvenience to reporters, nor merely present a "new learning curve" for the press to accept. Instead, the new rules represent a very serious threat to the public's ability to receive critical public information on a fast and accurate basis," he wrote in the letter.
In what the Labor Department claimed is an attempt to control the time-sensitive information, reporters will no longer be allowed to use personal computers and software to write and transmit stories from the press lock-up facility. These new measures are aimed at eliminating and preventing any security vulnerabilities, such as information breaches due to technological advances, according to an agency spokesperson.
But some media organizations are objecting to the new restrictions.
"There are few government reports that have the wide-ranging impact on the market as the Department of Labor statistics, and we are troubled by the degree of government restrictions on how the press can fully and accurately report this data to the public," said Matthew Winkler, the editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News, in a statement.
Starting July 6, journalists will no longer be allowed to bring any personal effects into the press lock-up room, including bags, outerwear, writing utensils, cell phones, calculators and any other electronic devices. The department will provide paper and pens for the reporters. Coats and umbrellas may also be provided by the department for broadcasters doing live shots in inclement weather, according to the department spokesperson who declined to be named.
The department also asked all the media organizations utilizing the press office to remove all of their equipment. The department will provide each organization with computer equipped with "a Windows operating system, a Web browser, word processing software, and Adobe Reader application and secure file transfer."
At a specific time, the department will lift the bar on the Internet, and the reporters will be able to then transmit their stories.
Earlier this week, in a conference call hosted by the Labor Department, news organizations expressed concern that new restrictions will limit their scope of reporting in a timely manner, as all media equipment now permitted in the lock-up room is provided by the department.
Under these new measures, all media organizations now involved will be required to reapply for department issued credentials that are good for one year. Department employees will select which organizations are granted access to the press lock-up facility based on newly set criteria. According to the department's new policy, credentials will be given to news organizations that are "primarily journalistic enterprises" and that "are likely to contribute significantly to public understanding through the dissemination of original news, analysis and/or opinion."
Each year, media organizations will be required to submit a continuation request for the department's consideration. The department holds the power to revoke these issued credentials, granting access to the press lock-up facility at anytime, if a member of the media violates the department's News Organization Agreement. Currently, about 17 news organizations are involved the department's lock-ups, according to an agency spokesperson.
The Labor Department is not the only federal agency that participates in press lock-ups. Other agencies that provide journalists with pre-release access to economic information are the Department of Commerce, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Energy.
All requests for credentials are due no later that April 24. News organizations will be informed by May 8 of their credential status.
