Welcome to the Field and Clinical Experiences website!
We hope that the information provided here will be helpful to all of the members of the student teaching triad – teacher candidates, cooperating teachers, and field supervisors – as well as our University faculty and other P-12 partners who might have questions about clinical experiences and student teaching. As the culminating experience in the teacher education program, student teaching provides candidates with the opportunity to blend what they have learned in the classroom and in early field and clinical experiences and put it to work in real-world situations as educational professionals. It will be a lot of work, but it should also be fun and rewarding!
The College of Education is proud of its long history of partnerships with P-12 schools in its service region. We are also excited about new initiatives, like co-teaching, that offer innovative ways for us to expand those partnerships for the benefit of our candidates, partners, and the students in our region.
While you are on our site, you might find such things as the Clinical Experiences Handbook, our Forms page, or the answers to our Frequently Asked Questions helpful. If you need information that you can't find here, please visit our Contact Us page to let us know how we can be of further assistance.

Lately there has been quite some publicity about privacy and security on the the public services hosting data. So I decided to minimize the Dropbox usage for file sync and go for locally hosted solution. It doesn't mean I'm out of dropbox, but rather I use it only for things I need to share outside my LAN.
My synchronization requirements
- two way sync
- non-interactive sync
- sync over ssh/local dirs (as pi works with ssh as a server out of the box)
- support for star topology - PC1..n (laptops) <-> Server (Raspberry Pi)
- keep additional dependencies to be installed on Raspberry low
- enable sync within LAN only (as I have quite some restricted internet connection with respect to data transfer quotas)
- operating on demand, rather than instantly (I want to use pi for other things as well and it's performance is not too impressive)
Alternative synchronization programsI checked briefly only following:
- rsync
- quite popular and maintained,
- but not recommended for 2 way sync (as suggested on: )Two way sync with rsync.
- Unison
- quite well known,
- but not actively developed any more, still patches seem to be applied from time to time.
- ownCloud
- looks actively developed
- but compared to other 2 - eats more resources (on both sides, client and server)
Unison setup from scratch on PiI followed these steps:
- [on server] changed default raspberry password via:
- [on clients and the server] set up password-less authentication for ssh connection (following the howtoforge tutorial)
- [on clients and the server] installed unison:
For Fedora:
sudo yum install unison
For (X)ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install unison
- For Fedora:
- [on clients] setup unison with ssh as a synch protocol (following the howtoforge tutorial) with the custom unison preferences file (see next section for reference).
Custom setupI created new unison preferences file:
~/.unison/unison.prfthat has following contents:
# WATCH OUT: keep in sync across clients! # dirs root = /home/pb/unison root = ssh://firstname.lastname@example.com//media/My Book/pi/unison # Work silently batch = true auto=true times = true # logging log = true logfile = /home/pb/.unison/unison.log # Prevent deletion of all files if all files are locally deleted confirmbigdeletes = true # Check fast, don't compare bit by bit fastcheck = true # "the default on Unix systems", see docs # ignore stuff ignore = Name *~ ## ignores all files with ~ (gedit backup files)Then I went for one more step. To synchronize via command line I issue following command on my client machines:
unison -ui text unisonTo make my life easier, I created in:
alias u-u="unison -ui text unison"So that I can simply initiate the synchronization with:
u-uThat's it for my setup. Please note the paths as well as server IP should be adapted in case you'd be using it.

Two softly muted finishes on traditionally styled moldings give the look of old gold and silver.
The gold frame's top and sides are wire-brushed and rubbed with a light gray wash. The silver frame has a cool, sky blue band which coordinates with landscapes and portraits. Both have linen liners.
These frames have a rabbet that is approximately 3/8" deep (about 10 mm).
Note — Hanging hardware not included.
Color Matching — We do our best to match the color of frames, both on our website photography and in our catalogs, but differences in technology may affect the appearance of the photo on your screen. You are entitled to return, for refund or credit, any frame that does not meet your expectations.
Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.
Frame Dimensions — Frames are sized by the opening, not by the outside of the molding. To determine the size of frame to order, measure the outside of your artwork, including mat, and order that size frame. The frame will overlap your artwork ¼" all the way around, so your artwork will fit nicely behind the frame's molding.
Open Back Frames — These frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

Your Online Camera Store
You have no items in your shopping cart.
Interchangeable camera lenses are one of the biggest benefits of today's DSLRs. They let your photography adapt to a wide range of locations and lighting conditions simply by changing your lense, helping you get that picture worth a thousand words, in a hundred different ways.
For certain situations, the lens which suits you best might be:
Fixed Focal -Typically, these lenses reproduce a field of view that approximates what the human eye sees. Their angle of view is usually about 50°, with an equivalent focal length. You can shoot high quality images with excellent results if you don't have any specific considerations. Wide-angle Lenses enable you to include more of the landscape or background in a photo, and also helps bring the subject in the foreground to a more prominent position. Interior and exterior scenes are both perfect candidates.
Telephoto - Exactly what it says on the tin, these lenses help you to make things that seem far away appear larger or closer. Commonly used in sports photography, telephoto lenses are the ideal choice for when you can't get too close but still want to capture the action.
Macro - For detail shots, these macro lenses are designed for close-ups or producing images proportionally identical to their subject. Whether you're photographing the craftsmanship of a piece of jewellery, or a newly opened flower, these will capture it all.
Zoom - You can achieve really interesting photographic compositions with a lens like this. Being able to adjust the focal length helps you to focus on the most important part of what you want to shoot.
Whether you're choosing photographic lenses for personal or professional use, mycamera focuses on what's really important. Once you've picked out your favourites, remember to buy extra caps, pouches, and other accessories to keep them safe.

Lambert (left) and Jumper won the A division at the Mrs. Hurst Bowl (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard coed sailing team captured the Nevins Trophy over the weekend at Kings Point with a cumulative score of 131, edging Georgetown by four points. The Crimson also sent squads to three other regattas highlighted, by an A-division win in the Mrs. Hurst Bowl.
In an overall team effort, Harvard secured first place at the Nevins Trophy with only one top finish in 19 races across three divisions. That first-place finish came from the A-division pair of Alan Palmer and Quincy Bock, who sailed to score of 59. Senior John Stokes skippered with Meghan Wareham and Marie Appel, as the trio notched a second-place finish competing in the B division, tallying 37 points. In an individual effort, Tedd Himler finished in fourth place in the C division. His score of 35 was just three points behind John Wallace of St. Mary's (Md.) and Chris Barnard of Georgetown.
The Harvard women's team also sailed well over the weekend finishing fifth out of 19 teams at the Mrs. Hurst Bowl, hosted by Dartmouth. Emily Lambert and Alexandra Jumper competed together in the A division finishing with a division low 25 points thanks in large part to five first-place finishes in eight races.
At the Hatch Brown Trophy, hosted by Boston University, the A-division duo of juniors Brendan Kopp and William White finished in second place with 50 points. Harvard finished 17th overall.
At the Boston Harbor Invitational, a coed regatta, the Crimson finished 16th.
Harvard's coed team will race Tuesday afternoon in the Midweek Tech Invitational at MIT before competing in four regattas this weekend. The women's squad will be in action at the Women's Regis Bowl hosted by BU this weekend.

MESA, AZ — Officials at Mesa (AZ) Community College say the removal of 15 adjunct faculty members from teaching in the school's fitness centers had to do with their failure to meet new certification requirements and was not an issue of age discrimination.
Before the school year, the contracts of the 15 faculty members, including a former president of the college, were not renewed. The 15 members had received certification by the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), but that organization is not recognized by the Mesa Community College exercise science department, according to department chair Ann Stine. Instead, the community college requires adjunct faculty to be certified by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) or the National Academy of Sports Medicine. All of these certifications are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. In addition, the ACSM and NSCA, which Stine prefers, require a college degree.
"As an educational institution, we're promoting academic excellence," Stine says. "We're limiting all liability risks. How you do that is with education, degrees and certification. I felt very compelled to require that of our own staff."
Stine adds that she wants to be confident that when students do internships at the fitness centers, they are supervised by qualified instructors. Because the community college has a diverse population with different age groups and related health issues, all rec center staff must have the same standard knowledge base, she says.
Theo Heap, who is 80, is one of the faculty members who was not renewed. He plans to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Obama's foreign policy opportunity
Look out, world: President Barack Obama is finally free and he's coming your way.
After four years of trying to fashion foreign policy with one eye on his reelection and another on the struggling U.S. economy, Obama is now liberated on both fronts.
Story Continued Below
A decisive win in the Electoral College means he doesn't have to worry as much about his daily approval ratings. And as the economy slowly improves, the optics of foreign travel aren't as bad. On Thursday — two days after his reelection — the White House announced Obama will leave for Asia next week, embarking on a four-day, history-making trip to Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.
( Also on POLITICO: 5 key decisions for President Obama)
Of course, the challenges abroad look daunting: Iran's nuclear program threatens, the Arab Spring seems to have unleashed chaos across the Mideast and Al Qaeda is metastasizing. But for any reelected president, the notion of a foreign policy legacy has a certain allure. It offers a chance to leave a lasting global imprint — and an alternative to the daily interference of Congress on domestic issues.
"The second term is the term that will determine whether [Obama] will be a historic president — beyond the fact that he's a historic president by virtue of who he is," said Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser. "Beyond his DNA, we need some international accomplishment that really is historically transformative, and so far we haven't had any."
Here's a look at six foreign policy areas where Obama might do things differently in his second four years:
Tehran's nuclear program is the administration's biggest foreign policy problem.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama administration announces new Iran sanctions)
The Pentagon's announcement Thursday that Iran tried to shoot down a U.S. surveillance drone showed just how tense relations are between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic.
In the final days of the campaign, the White House tried to knock down a report in The New York Times that direct U.S.-Iranian talks on the nuclear threat are likely to start soon, but nearly all experts expect such a dialogue to get under way shortly.
"I think the administration is quite likely to try to find a way to direct diplomacy with the Iranians and to interest the Iranians with a big proposal rather than an incremental proposal," said Robert Satloff of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "There may not be such a [diplomatic] solution, but I think they will exhaust the effort to try to find out."
Those kinds of talks would alarm foreign policy hawks and some advocates for Israel, who fear Obama would make an ill-advised deal in order to fashion a legacy. The same conservative critics who believed that Obama made an international "apology tour" soon after taking office now worry he'll embark on a "concession tour," trading away U.S. military leverage and superiority to ink flimsy pacts with rogue nations such as Iran and other U.S. adversaries.
"When you're dealing with a country that can operate secretively and in bad faith, these deals are not very valuable, but given past history you have to think that that rather ineffective course may look attractive to the administration," said Doug Feith, a fellow at the Hudson Institute and an undersecretary of defense under President George W. Bush.

Preparing to Breastfeed
Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn't mean everything about it always comes naturally. To help you and your new baby get off to a smooth start at mealtime, here's some helpful advice on preparing to breastfeed.
See more: Will Breastfeeding Make Your Baby Smarter?
You're entitled to breastfeeding education.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, breastfeeding insurance coverage without cost-sharing is now mandatory for breast pumps (more on that below) as well as comprehensive lactation support and counseling by a trained professional. Find breastfeeding education classes at your local hospital, or attend breastfeeding meetings held by your local La Leche League group. Another great resource: Medela's Breastfeeding University, an online program consisting of 10 short, self-paced classes. (The first 1,000 New Parent readers can try it for free with code NP0813qG3r4f!)
You need gear to make breastfeeding comfortable.
You'll be spending a lot of time feeding your baby, so you'll want to be cozy and relaxed while you do it. When preparing to breastfeed, be sure to add these essentials to your new baby checklist:
- Nursing bras Experts recommend having at least two. Stock up on washable or disposable bra pads, too.
- A breastfeeding pillow
- A rocking chair or glider Test it before baby arrives to make sure it's comfy!
- A nursing foot stool
- Lanolin for sore or cracked nipples
- Plenty of support Keep your favorite breastfeeding book in an easy-to-find place for quick reference (we're fans of The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding by La Leche League International, $13 at amazon.com). Stick your lactation consultant's number in your contact list for easy access for when bigger questions pop up.
It's a good idea to get ready for pumping now.
By the time she's three weeks old, you should begin getting your baby used to drinking breast milk from a bottle, so others can feed her when you're not around. "One of the tricks to making the transition is to introduce the bottle early on," says Katherine O'Connor, M.D., an infant expert and attending physician at The Children's Hospital of Montefiore in New York. As you're preparing to breastfeed, here's what you'll need to pump, store, and feed your baby breast milk:
- A quality breast pump Picking a model that suits your lifestyle and needs will go a long way towards making pumping easier. Find out how to pick the best breast pump for you.
- Collection and storage materials Store breastmilk in BPA-free bags or containers (we like Medela Pump & Save Breastmilk Bags, 20 for $10 at giggle.com). If you're pumping while at work, you'll also need a portable cooler to ensure breast milk storage safety.
- Other extras Breast shields and breast pump accessory items, like a vehicle lighter adapter, if you plan to pump in the car.

CRESTVIEW � Wal-Mart patrons added voter registration cards to their shopping lists on Tuesday as poll workers staffed tables at the store for National Voter Registration Day.
CRESTVIEW � Wal-Mart patrons added voter registration cards to their shopping lists on Tuesday as poll workers staffed tables at the store for National Voter Registration Day.
Of 66 forms completed countywide during the daylong event, 31 people at the Crestview site registered to vote, updated their addresses or changed their party affiliation.
The Crestview team had signed up 11 new voters by mid-afternoon, Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections voter education and PR coordinator Bridget Richard said.
Baker resident Ron Patton visited a table staffed by Pat Presley and Sally Yozviak to change his party affiliation from Republican to independent.
Updating his voter card wasn't Patton's primary reason for visiting the store, he said, but he couldn't pass up the convenience.
"I saw the pretty ladies and stopped by," he said. "It saved me from having to go downtown" to the Supervisor of Elections office.
Voter and worker convenience
Ed Kitchen � who, with Fletcher Williams, helped Julia and Michael Gaskin change their address at the store�s south entrance � said the service benefited voters and poll workers.
"It's nice we can do this now instead of waiting for the election to come along" when there's typically a rush of last-minute update requests, he said.
While other organizations hold periodic voter registration drives, voters often prefer to register with the official county elections office, Richard said.
"We're neutral," she said. "When we're out there, we're not trying to influence voters to register one way or another."
More than 30 poll workersvolunteered to work the four sites at Wal-Marts in Crestview, Fort Walton Beach, Destin and Niceville, Richard said.
"It was the first year we did this. We enjoyed it and the rain held out," Richard said. "We think next year it'll be even bigger because it'll be between the primary and the general elections."
Richard said voters can stop by the Supervisor of Elections office in the Brackin Building in downtown Crestview to register or change their voter information.
"We work more than just twice a year," she said.
WHAT: Voter registration or information update
WHEN: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday
WHERE: Supervisor of Elections Office, Brackin Building, 302 Wilson St.

Awesome U.S. College Kids Arrested in Cairo Protests
"College is such a joke," 21-year-old Indiana University student Luke Gates wrote on Twitter on Monday. Less of a joke: Egyptian jail, where Gates and two other American college kids are after being arrested for allegedly throwing firebombs on police during yesterday's protests.
Really, what better way to spend your semester abroad than participating in pro-democracy demonstrations against a violent, autocratic military rule? Gates, 19-year-old Drexel student Gregory Porter, and 20-year-old Derrick Sweeney of Georgetown—all of whom are studying Arabic at the American University in Cairo—were arrested together on Monday and, accompanied by a U.S. embassy official, questioned by a prosecutor. It seems as though no official charges have been brought forward yet; a friend from AUC, interviewed by AP, calls the incident "a big misunderstanding."
Not a total misunderstanding, though: judging by Gates' Twitter, he'd been spending a lot of time at the protests. (sample Tweet: "we were throwing rocks and one guy accidentally threw his phone =(" Our Orwell, folks!) Sweeney's mother Joy says her son "got caught up in the whole college-change-the-world mentality, and he believes in democracy strongly." He must, if he's willing to risk his life to speak up for it. Good for him.

When I think of my time in Paraguay I think of the following:
The smell of burning wood.
The desert.
People with brown leathery skin
And almost being sold as a prostitute.
I was 16. I thought it would be cool to spend the summer after my junior year in high school giving South American people vaccinations for Yellow Fever and Malaria. I went with an organization called Amigos! We were volunteers. But we had to pay to go. We had to sell Poinsettias at Christmas time to raise money for our trip. We practiced giving shots to oranges and lemons for a few months, brushed up on our Spanish and off we went. We were randomly partnered up with other Amigos! from around the country. My partner, Anna Maria was from a small hippie island off of Seattle where they did a lot of psychadelic mushrooms and had bonfires.
Anna Maria didn't speak much Spanish and was a strict vegetarian. There were no such things in Paraguay as vegetarians. They had never heard of such a thing. There are a million cows in Paraguay and they are all made to eat. This made her an outcast from the beginning. Her Spanish pretty bad. I wasn't far behind her though. Even though I am half Colombian my Spanish was pathetic. Still is. My mom raised me to believe that anything Latin was to be avoided at all costs and she pretended she just had a great tan all year round so my Spanish mostly consisted of swear words. She had this weird rapid fire approach to assimilation. Just go with the flow and fuck your past. I understood more Spanish than I spoke but even my understanding was severely limited.
So there we were. Me and my hippie dippy partner. Dropped off in the middle of South America, off to become Florence Nightingales. It didn't start off so good. Our host family was definitely in it for the money. I'm not sure how much money Amigos paid our host family to house and feed us but my guess is about 100 Poinsettias worth. They treated us with indifference and fed us the same thing every day…meat and Yucca. Now if you don't know… Yucca is supposedly the "potato" of South America. Bullshit. Yucca is plywood plain and simple. Our host family rarely spoke to us unless they were asking how much we paid for our clothes.
3 weeks in and our vaccination supplies hadn't arrived from the US. We were promising the people in our village that they would be arriving any day now and then we'd get busy vaccinating everyone as far as the eye could see.
The main problem was that our host sister, Olga, was stealing from me. One day I noticed that I seemed to be missing some maxi pads. Huh. It is not good to be out of maxi-pads while living in the Paraguayan desert. Then my hair bands disappeared. This is also bad if you have long thick in 100-degree weather. The final straw was that one day at breakfast Olga was wearing my Chicago Bulls baseball hat. I was stunned. This meant that she most likely had taken my other things. Damn! But I didn't say anything because relations were already strained with our host family and I didn't want trouble.
"What do I do?" I asked Anna Maria after our yucca and beef breakfast. "I have no idea" she said taking off her Walkman. I could hear Indigo Girls blaring through the headphones. "I can't think straight," she said. "That's because you haven't eaten anything besides yucca in three weeks." I answered. "For God's sake Anna Maria just eat the meat, you can't go on like this." "Fuck you" Anna Maria said and put back on her headphones. She didn't like me very much. I think she was jealous because our host family liked me more. This was for one reason and one reason only. I ate meat. It had nothing to do with my personality or anything else. I was a meat eater and so I won. I'm telling you, Paraguayans are serious business about their beef. No joke.
But even my meat eating hadn't won Olga over. She continued to steal from me left and right. One day while Olga was in school I went on a reconnaissance mission to make sure that Olga was indeed the culprit. I snuck into her bedroom and looked around. By bedroom I mean a room made out of metal with a mattress on the floor. I found nothing in her room. Then I remembered where I kept the things I stole. Like my sister's tip money from the restaurant where she worked, a knife of my fathers and a dirty book that belonged to my mom. Under the mattress. Ah ha! There was a treasure trove of my stuff under there. Indeed the hair bands and maxi pads were hiding there but there was so much more. Olga the thief had taken my jewelry, my camera and some American money. But what I found really creepy was that Olga had also taken many pairs of my underwear. Most of which was bloodstained because she also had all my maxi pads. I was angry. But mostly I was scared. Who was this Paraguayan teenager and how far would she take this stealing thing? Would she move on to other crimes, bigger crimes? And how could I confront her? We had been warned in training not to offend our host families and our relationship was already strained. We were told we shouldn't flaunt our possessions, that we were to be culturally sensitive. But how could I go another 6 weeks without underwear? Something had to be done.
I left everything where it was and went to take a walk in the desert. After a few moments, you can only walk in the desert for a few moments before your skin begins to sizzle, after a few moments I had what I thought at the time was a brilliant idea.
When we had first arrived in Paraguay our American liaison, some rich white 20 something from Redondo Beach who spoke perfect Spanish had introduced us to a local woman. Our liaison told us that this local woman was to be a sort of "mentor" to us. She told us that our "mentor" was there to help us with any problems we might encounter during our stay in Paraguay. We were to go to this local woman with any issue, big or small our liaison said. And I indeed had a problem. I was being robbed blind. I went in search of this mysterious mentor. I thought it would pretty easy to find her as there were only 100 people in the village. But I didn't know how to say "mentor" in Spanish. I knocked on the door of a hut. Once the man with no teeth answered I tried to describe the woman I was looking for. In broken Spanish and hand gestures I asked if he knew where the short lady who looked like a man lived. He knew exactly who I was talking about and pointed me to a hut down the road.
I knocked on the door. El Mentor opened her tin door.
"I need help." Was all I said. She motioned me to come in.
"The bad girl has taken my money. I had no idea how to say hair bands and maxi pads in Spanish.
"The bad girl has taken my money and I need money to live, please help me."
"Ohhh I see" said El Mentor. "I see."
She looked me up and down for a moment. Finally she said, "No problem my child, I will help you. Yes, I will help you."
Oh my Mentor, my friend! I was saved.
"Come to my jeep" she said smiling. "We will go to solve the problem."
Yea, El Mentor would set Olga straight!
Into the jeep I happily jumped and off we went bouncing along the dirt road. I wondered why we were taking the jeep since Olga's house was just a stones throw away but I thought, "Maybe that's just how El Mentor rolls."
We passed Olga's hut. Huh. I thought. El Mentor must have another plan in the works.
We bumped along for a while and then the desert seemed to part and we came upon what looked like a large industrial compound. There were other Jeeps, just like El Mentor's zooming around the place. We came to a large steel gate. There were two men in full military garb and guns standing in front of the gate. El Mentor spoke to them in soft Spanish. The men looked at me and smiled. "Hola!" I said. They laughed at me. The men opened the gate and let our jeep through. I looked back just as the gate slammed shut and the thought dawned on me that the sound sounded a lot like when they show prison cell doors slamming shut and locking. Huh.
I began to get a little nervous. Who was this El Mentor really? What did I know about her? Nothing other than she had poor taste in clothes and was perhaps a lesbian, but that was just a hunch. But our liaison promised us that….wait a minute…what did I really know about our liaison? All I knew was that she was perky, blond, thin and I hated her guts.
My stomach began to hurt. I was alone, in a jeep, in the desert, in South America on what appeared to be some sort of military base. I no longer cared about my missing sanitary napkins or even the money.
"Senora Mentor," I shouted over the roaring the jeep, "Don't mean to trouble you, but where are we?"
"We are going to see the Capitan!"
Oh, good the Capitan, I thought. That made me feel better. Maybe stealing was big deal in Paraguay. Maybe El Mentor felt it warranted military intervention.
Somewhere inside I knew I was in trouble. Mostly in my bladder. I really had to pee.
Finally we pulled into a small paved parking lot in front of a large one-story building with tinted glass. I was comforted that I was out of the jeep. We approached the office building and I noticed there was another gun toting military man standing outside. He was smoking a cigarette and once he saw me he smiled. He smiled this really creepy smile. I looked away. We went inside.
The office space was filled with empty cubicles and looked like it hadn't been repainted since the Ford administration. It was quiet. No one seemed to be working today. Huh. A holiday maybe?
We walked down a long hallway. At the end was a door. On the door was a placcard. On that placard were the words El Capitan. No name, just El Capitan. El Mentor didn't knock. She just walked right in and I followed. El Capitan was sitting behind a large wooden desk. There were no papers or office supplies on this desk. There was no nothing. In fact, the whole office was bare except for some cardboard boxes in one corner.
El Capitan was dressed in a military uniform. Complete with a military hat. He had on Aviator sunglasses and had a mustache. He looked like a parody of a South American dictator. But the most striking thing about El Capitan was that instead of a right hand he had a hook. A real hook. A metal hook. He was in fact, El Capitan Hook.
He smiled a big old smile when we walked into his office. He and El Mentor exchanged some words in Spanish that I didn't catch. Why oh why hadn't I paid more attention in Spanish Class? Why hadn't I demanded that my Mom speak Spanish around the house? But it was too late now. Here I was with a El Mentor and El Capitan Hook in the desert. I still clung to the hope that maybe this was going to turn out all right. That I was panicking for nothing. That I was overreacting and we'd all go out for yucca sandwiches and laugh all of this off.
This is what I think I heard next:
El Mentor: This is Jennifer
El Capitan: Oh, I see, how nice.
El Mentor: She has a money problem. I told her you might be able to fix it. That you could help her.
El Capitan: Oh, I see.
El Mentor: She is pretty no? They will like her no?
El Capitan: Yes she is pretty. A little plump but pretty nonetheless.
El Mentor: The men, they like Americans, yes?
El Capitan: Yes, this is true.
El Mentor: Of course I'll need my finders fee Capitan.
El Capitan: Of course.
Now, my Spanish was bad. But not that bad. I got the gist of what was going on. I was being sold as a prostitute. El mentor wasn't a mentor at all. She was a pimp, a little Latina pimp with a jeep. I was about to run screaming out of the office but then El Capitan turned to me.
"My pretty girl. I am El Capitan. I am an important man. I can help you with all of your problems." Then he reached for my hand with his metal hook. That's when I totally freaked out.
I began to yell things out in Spanish. Anything I could remember.
"I have Yellow Fever!"
"I have Dissentary!"
"I have Malaria."
"I'm not sanitary!"
"My teeth are bad!"
"Fuck, Shit, Piss!"
I was screaming and crying and carrying on for quite some time. Both El Mentor and El Capitan had their jaws dropped wide open. Their eyes bugged out and El Capitan's hook fell to his side. Clearly I was not the hooker they had hoped I'd be.
Then I peed. I peed a long river of pee. Right on El Capitan Hook's linoleum floor. It just kept flowing and flowing and I didn't care. I was not going to be an Unsolved Mystery. El Mentor looked mortified.
"Oh, my Capitan," she gasped. "I am so so sorry." "I had no idea she was retarded. No idea." "If I did I would never had brought her here to you. Clearly she is not employable."
"Yes!" I thought. "I am not employable!" "I am retarded!" "Hooray!"
El Capitan still looked stunned as El Mentor shoved me out of the office. I was still crying and dripping as we walked back outside. The military guard looked surprised that we were leaving in such a rush. El Mentor was cussing up a storm under her breath. Something about her rotten luck and retarded Americans. We got back into the jeep and she sped off.
I gave her a few moments to calm down and then I asked, "Umm El Mentor, can I go back to my host family now?"
"I will drop you off at the edge of town and you will walk from there."
"Ok, great!" I said. I would walk a million miles if I had to. No problemo. As long as I was free.
As she had promised, at the edge of town El Mentor stopped the jeep with a jerk.
"Get out," she said.
I jumped out fast.
She sped away, kicking up dust.
I ran as fast as I could back to our hut. I saw Olga. I ran to her and hugged her for a long time.
"Olga, I love you. What's mine is yours." She looked at me like I was, well…retarded.
I walked into the tin room I shared with Anna Maria. She took off her headphones. I could hear The 10,000 Maniacs coming through the speakers.
"You know Jen. I am so sick of this place. They don't like me. They treat me like shit. I'm not like you, you know. I can't just eat anything. I'm picky. All I eat is yucca day in and day out. I'm losing all this weight and…"
I cut her off.
"You know Anna Maria, you know what this sounds like to me? This sounds like a perfect problem for El Mentor."

NAACP Pasadena Branch President Joe Brown renewed his demand that Pasadena police release information on the training backgrounds of the officers involved in the March 24 shooting death of Kendrec McDade. Only now, Brown has the help of a First Amendment attorney in getting what he's after.
A letter delivered Monday to Assistant City Attorney Ann Rider and copied to City Manager Michael Beck and Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez is a follow-up to an April 5 request filed by Brown seeking Pasadena police policy routine and tactical and robbery responses, as well as audio and video recording and the firing of guns from a vehicle.
The letter also demands the release of McDade's autopsy report, a document usually released by the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, not police.
"I must clarify that we [the Pasadena NAACP] are not on a fishing expedition into the personal files of police officers. One of our rationales was not relevant to your denials," the letter reads.
In addition, former Altadena Town Councilman Steve Lamb on Tuesday filed his own pubic records request with Pasadena police, demanding documents related to policy regarding firearms use and officer training.
Lamb also requests the exact time of the shooting and when officers called paramedics, when EMTs arrived at the scene and the exact time of McDade's death.
Although the NAACP letter bears Brown's signature, it appears to have been co-authored by an attorney. Brown told the Weekly Tuesday he'd received legal advice, but would not reveal the identity of the attorney who helped him. He said McDade family attorney Caree Harper played no part in writing or delivering the letter.
Shortly after the Weekly interviewed Brown, he issued a press statement clarifying the cases cited in the document and emphasized Harper had no involvement in producing the letter.
McDade was shot by two officers Matthew Griffin and Jeff Newlen at around 11 p.m. on March 24 in the 700 block of Sunset Avenue, shortly after police were called to the corner of North Fair Oaks Avenue and Orange Grove Boulevard by 26-year-old Oscar Carrillo-Gonzalez. Carrillo-Gonzalez alleged he was robbed at gunpoint by McDade and a 17-year-old male.
Griffin and Newlen spotted McDade and chased him — one officer driving the squad car and firing from the vehicle, the other on foot and also firing — to Sunset Avenue, where the unarmed McDade collapsed after being shot eight times. McDade, officers said later, was reaching for his waist when he was shot.
Since the shooting, Harper has filed a federal civil lawsuit on behalf of McDade's family against the city, the Police Department, Police Chief Phillip Sanchez and members of his staff. Harper has also filed a claim for damages against the city in relation to the shooting.

Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads lets loose after his team loses to Texas, 31-30.
AMES, Iowa — Paul Rhoads was mad. Iowa State's emotional football coach was so upset that he threw away the postgame coach speak playbook.
He was irate with the officials during a 31-30 loss against Texas Thursday night at Jack Trice Stadium – and he didn't care who heard him.
"What you witnessed tonight were a couple teams playing their hearts out," he said, before gradually getting louder and emotional.
CHEAP SHOT: Ugly play by Texas WR
"I've got the privilege as the head coach of this football program to face my players, win or lose, and look them in the eye and (tell them) how proud I am of the work they put forth, the effort they gave."
He wasn't finished.
"To make a play on the 1-yard line with their backs against the wall -- clear to everybody -- and have it taken away from them . . .that's hard to express.
"You don't just put an arm around a guy and tell him it's O.K. when that happens to him. I'm so proud of the effort my kids gave to win this football game."
Cole Netten provided the Cyclones a 30-24 lead with a 29-yard field goal with 3:30 to play. That was the calm before Rhoads' storm.
Texas drove to the Iowa State 1-yard line, thanks partially to one of many pass interference calls on the Cyclones. Now it gets controversial.
Johnathan Gray fumbled on first down and Jeremiah George recovered. The officials, however, ruled that Gray's forward motion was stopped, therefore no fumble.
The play was reviewed. The retired officials in the booth upheld the initial call – three plays before Texas scored the game-winning touchdown and PAT.
Did George think it was a fumble?
"I do," he said. "He was still trying to score, OK? He was trying to score a touchdown.
"As a defender, you don't stop until you hear the whistle. The whistle never blew. The whistle never blew until I had the ball in my hand, and I was 30 yards down the field. So I don't know."
Like his coach, George had more.
"The first time I tried to put my head on the ball, it didn't work," he said. "(Gray) was still pushing. At that time I was able to raise my head and continue to play football.
"He had the ball loose from when I tried to jar it loose from my head. And then I stripped it. And the rest is history."
George said that an official told him that Gray's momentum had stopped.
"If he would've continued to push and score, they would've said touchdown," George said.
Rhoads wasn't finished, either.
""I've got pretty good eye sight," Rhoads said. "The view I had of that gigantic screen in the end zone showed the guy wasn't down, and our guy with the football.
"The conference office reviews all things. I'm sure they will review this, and I'm sure they will come forward with what they feel the play should have been called."
Whatever is ruled won't soothe the sting of an opportunity Iowa State had to end string of 10 season-opening conference losses.
Questionable calls – many. Ten penalties. A strong dose of Aaron Wimberly and Sam Richardson.
And a successful Hail Mary.
The bottom line is that the Cyclones will travel to Texas Tech next week with a 1-3 record, but with the knowledge that they can hang with one of the six teams picked to win the conference.
Take away one play, and it's a different outcome – as long as it's not the Cyclones' 97-yard catch-and-run by Quenton Bundrage for a touchdown in the third quarter.
A do-over on Texas' final play of the first half – that's what Iowa State needed. But like an overturn of an officials' call – that isn't happening, either.
Thus, it was one of those Hail No, not again things, if you're an Iowa State football fan.
That 44-yard heave into the end zone with 4 seconds to play in the half that Texas' John Harris somehow caught among four defenders wasn't the only reason the Cyclones lost, it was just the most apparent, not only for a stunned crowd at Jack Trice Stadium Thursday night, but for Iowa State fans watching on ESPN.
The Longhorns' 75-yard drive that started with 33 seconds until halftime. It ended with Harris out-performing everyone in the end zone.
Their kid made a play," Rhoads said. "Our kids didn't. It's not the first long ball that's been thrown and completed. We had guys around. Their job was to knock it down. Their kid made a great, great play. I'd play the same coverage."

In November 1967, four years after President Kennedy's assassination, LIFE magazine published an article titled, simply, "Nov. 22, 1963, Dallas: Photos by Nine Bystanders." While the home movie shot by Abraham Zapruder was already, by then, the most famous—and controversial—visual record of the day, the article in LIFE included a number of pictures that had never been published before.
"The FBI has seen almost all of photos," LIFE told its readers, "and found nothing that would furnish clues to the assassination itself."
Here, on the 50th anniversary of the day the Warren Report's official findings about JFK's murder were delivered to President Johnson, LIFE.com once again shines a light on those magazine pages—and on the photographs, made by nine amateur photographers, that even today feel chilling and, somehow, meaningful. If we could just look long enough, or closely enough, the pictures suggest, perhaps something about that November day would finally make sense.
(Note: For the best experience when viewing the slides above, use the "Full Screen" option to the right of the caption.)

"They are cheap and come with 3 months warranty, but after 2 months, the appliance stops working, you bring it back, they say they'll repair it. It take a week before you hear back from them, pick it up, no idea what was wrong with it, and give it 3 weeks maybe and you are back there with the same appliance to get fixed. After 3 months, no more warranty, you have to pay for that repair which lasts only a few weeks or months to be done on it."

The day after the election a friend posted on my Facebook page, the "Latino Vote –unfrigginbelievable."
She's right. Many factors contributed to President Obama's re-election. But few are as important as the Latino vote.
Hispanics made up 10 percent of the U.S. electorate this year--doubling in the past 16 years.
The number of Latino voters rose to more than 12 million from 11.4 million in 2008.
With 75 percent of Hispanics voting for Obama, according to Latino Decisions study, they accounted for about 15 percent of Obama's total nationally--and substantially more in swing states like Colorado, Nevada and most likely Florida. Hispanic voters not only handed re-election to the President, they helped determine the winner in close U.S. Senate races across the country.
As I predicted, 2012 would not only be the year that Latino voters emerged as a political force, but marks the beginning of a political trend that is shaping the direction of our country as this voting bloc grows in size and prominence.
By 2050, the Hispanic population is expected to nearly double, accounting for as much as 29 percent of the total U.S. population. Each month, 50,000 Latinos turn 18 and are eligible to vote.
What does growing Latino political power mean for America, and for our community?
First, it means that from this point forward, candidates and political parties will need to articulate policies that appeal to us but are not that different from those geared toward "mainstream" Americans.
We are deeply concerned about jobs, economic growth, education, healthcare and the other building blocks of the American Dream.
But make no mistake, immigration matters.
With many of us being part of mixed-immigration-status families, neighborhoods, and parishes, when a candidate disparagingly talks about "illegals," tread carefully because you can be talking about our mamás. Or you just sound like a mean bully that picks on the smallest kid in the school yard.
Second, we will be watching to make sure the actions of those we helped elect match their rhetoric.
You cannot make a promise, not fulfill it, yet deport people in record numbers, including abuelas.
You also can't eat lechón on the campaign trail pretending to be down with La Raza, yet praise the most anti-immigrant and anti-Latino laws in the country, their authors, and enforcers.
The road to the White House goes, not just through the barrio and the bodega, but classrooms, since 25 percent of public school students nationwide is Hispanic, and our nursing homes, as our population ages.
The seeds of political participation were planted in 2012 but will need to be watered, nurtured, at times weeded for it to take root and flourish, making our great democracy even greater.
The work has just begun --for Latinos, since our civic involvement can't drop off; for Republicans, who can seize this opportunity after a total flameout to rebuild; and for the President, who is now tasked with the burden of making good on a promise that is four years overdue.
This post was first published as "The Latino Vote: The Way Forward" on November 12, 2012 in Fox News Latino where I am a regular politics columnist.

More about public finances
Mark Pearson, Head, OECD Health Division
The growing burden of healthcare expenditure on public budgets is hardly a recent phenomenon. For 15 years before the onset of the financial crisis, health spending per capita had been going up by over 4% per year in real terms across the OECD area-much faster than growth in real incomes. Nearly all OECD countries will soon have nearuniversal healthcare coverage-an historic achievement. But health now accounts for over 9% of GDP on average, and almost three-quarters of this spending is from the public purse. Small wonder that health budgets have attracted attention from those anxious to reduce public spending as part of the effort to rein in public sector deficits and debt. Health ministers from across the OECD and beyond met in October 2010 to discuss what should be done.
Big cuts in health spending have taken place recently in countries like Estonia, Iceland and Ireland. Retrenchment in some areas of health spending has taken place across southern and eastern Europe. Yet by and large, health spending has not been cut in most countries, and in many countries future spending is planned to be roughly the same as at present, at least for the next few years. Countries which have cut health spending have generally protected spending on prevention-one of the most cost-effective ways of "buying" better health. They have sought to protect access to high-quality care, for example, by agreeing to cuts in wages of health workers rather than reducing employment. They have reduced pharmaceutical spending, particularly by promoting generic use, and deferred new investment.
So changes in health spending help restore public finances? Not likely. The reason for the rapid growth in health spending has been that demand has been rising, due to new technologies, greater patient expectations and population ageing. These pressures continue. Holding spending constant will therefore seem like cuts in spending. Indeed, past experience suggests that holding health spending down for a few years is possible, but the underlying pressures eventually will overwhelm attempts to cap spending. The important challenge countries face is to reform their health systems to deliver high-quality health services to all at a reasonable cost.

The Big East and NBC are in serious negotiations to make the embattled conference a primary product provider on NBC's new cable outlet, with massive cross promotion and marketing on the main NBC network, according to person familiar with the talks. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
The deal would commence in basketball next season, which would mean the a full complement of 18 teams including all of the schools who have announced they were leaving.
Included in that group would be the Catholic 7 -- Seton Hall, Georgetown, DePaul, St. John's, Providence, Villanova and Marquette -- who announced in December they were breaking away to form their own league, which would be devoid of FBS football programs, as well as Louisville and Notre Dame who are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference and Rutgers which is moving to the Big Ten. All of those moves are expected to start in the fall of 2014.
FOOTBALL COACHES' PAY: Salaries up again
The Catholic 7 has a 40 million a year television offer from Fox which is being seriously considered but would have to include at least three more schools, with Xavier and Butler the leading candidates to join at least one more member which could come from a group which would include Saint Louis, Dayton, Creighton, Richmond or VCU.
Although the initial money from NBA for the Big East is low — first reported by ESPN to be between 20 and 23 million per season for football and basketball — it would be only six years in length and open to renegotiation, with the hope that early exposure and success would create a bigger market..
The master plan -- there has been no official offer made -- would be for the Big East, which has been torn apart by the defection of 18 teams in football and basketball over the past few years, to use NBC in a similar way ESPN began in 1979, using the Big East as one of its early anchor items.
ALABAMA PLAYERS ARRESTED: Team suspends four following charges
Although ESPN, which is the current rights holder for Big East football and basketball, has a right to make a counter offer, the Big East could sign with NBC unless the money is considerably higher. ESPN offered a 10-year deal worth $155 million per year 18 months ago which was turned down by a Big East that had yet to been hit by the massive defections which have lowered the profile of the conference.
Big East commissioner Mike Aresco has been holding meetings with television executives as well as representatives of the Catholic 7 as an exit strategy is formulated. A major point of contention among the Catholic 7 is the name Big East, which both conferences want.
Despite the loss of schools, the Big East name is still considered very marketable and the Big East football schools have made it clear to Aresco that they want to retain the name. It appears that it will take a considerable financial payout by the Catholic 7 to obtain the name, however. Whoever keeps the Big East name could also have Madison Square Garden declare as its preference for hosting the annual post season conference tournament which has also been a cornerstone for the Big East for the past 30 years.
