I noticed from your map the NW Wisc. will not get the Packer game again. I have lived up here for 43 years, the Duluth stations, except Fox will show an infomercial instead of the Packers game. When will the Packers network expand to include the thousands of Packer fans who live up here?

I live in Florida but was born and raised in Wi. This is the first year we can't get Packer games on home tv. This is ridiculous!! Already pay 150 a month for cable tv and can't watch NFL football? I remember watching football on tv and we had bunny ears to tune it in. And tv was free!! So only place we can go see the game now is to go to a bar which I am not happy about!

Map shows northern Nevada will get the game but the local listing shows Balti vs Denv. HUH? Guess we'll have to go to the casino to watch in the sports book.

FOX Sports game of the week only available to a regional audience? No 1 pm game here in Michigan but we get the Detroit Laydowns at 4 pm.Way to go FOX.

The Packers used to open up the club seats at Lambeau to watch the away Bears game and it was so much fun! Why don't they do that anymore??? I would think the Packers could make great revenue by doing that!!!

Here is another installment in UGA professor Peter Smagorinsky's Great Georgia Teacher series. This essay focuses on Lisa Miller of Moreland Road Elementary School in the Griffin-Spalding County Schools.
By Peter Smagorinsky
The issue of safety in elementary schools has been a topic of national discussion since the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct. Although opinions vary on how to achieve the goal of ensuring the safety of students, teachers, administrators, and others who occupy the building, everyone agrees on the need for schools to be safe places so that teachers and students can pursue the educational mission with focus and enthusiasm.
For kindergarten teacher Lisa Miller of Moreland Road Elementary School in the Griffin-Spalding County Schools, where she was named the system's Teacher of the Year in 2009, a safe environment is of paramount importance. Not, however, in the sense that drives the national debate about school safety.
Rather, Lisa is concerned with the emotional safety that her students need to feel in order to find school a supportive and nurturing place. "It is my responsibility to create an environment that is positive and conducive to learning," she says. "Students that feel safe to explore their thoughts and ideas will be encouraged to strive to gain more knowledge and skills and will be more likely to continue to seek knowledge once they leave my classroom."
Those of us who have sent our own children to school know what she's talking about. Of course, we want violence-free environments for our school learning. But on a daily basis, we want our children to have the more general feeling of emotional safety, which serves to enable young people—particularly those in preschool and kindergarten programs that provide their first exposure to education and its socialization mission—to navigate their surroundings with the belief that they are in the hands of a caring, dedicated adult.
Teachers like Lisa Miller provide such settings, and great Georgia teachers like her have for generations made schools the center of community life, a supportive extension of loving homes, and a harbor for children whose families cannot provide the love and resources that they deserve.
Her principal at Moreland Road Elementary, Stan Mangham, recognizes and appreciates these contributions, saying, "I, along with every parent of every child she has taught, am grateful she is a part of our school and system and wish we had more teachers of her caliber among us. . . . Moreland Road is blessed to have you here educating our children. You possess an uplifting, nurturing spirit and surround your children with love, compassion, and warmth."
He describes Lisa as "an outstanding teacher who deserves any and all accolades that come her way. She is very unassuming and never seeks recognition herself, but is very deserving." In addressing her in honor of being the county Teacher of the Year, he said, "You represent all that we aspire to be and accomplish day to day tasks with honor, grace, and elegance. You are the face of Moreland Road and we are fortunate to have you as our representative, co-worker, and friend."
Lisa is a native of Griffin-Spalding County and a proud graduate of its public school system, through which she has also sent her own children. After getting her B.A. at Mercer University and master's from Central Michigan, she returned to teach in her hometown area in 1990.
"As a kindergarten teacher, I know that a child's first teacher is their family and they are sometimes influenced by society. Emphasizing the connection between home, school and community is important because children's well-being is affected by decisions made from each group," says Lisa.
Lisa's excellence as a teacher is evident in the testimonials given by those who surround her. She is, says one admirer, "the epitome of a teacher. She goes to sleep each night dreaming about her class and wakes up thinking of ways in which she can be a better leader for the 20 or so young minds that she encounters each day. As a kindergarten teacher, she understands that it is her responsibility to provide a firm educational foundation that will last her students the rest of their lives. . . . Our family and friends have long since known how dedicated you are to your craft. We are all proud that you are getting the public recognition you deserve. Congratulations from a very proud son! (I feel like you should have a crown or something)." OK, so that's her son speaking. But I'd be proud too.
Her colleagues appreciate her as well. Fellow teacher Linda Birath has written, "Congratulations, No one deserves this [Teacher of the Year] honor more. I am so glad I had the privilege of working with you over the years. It has always been obvious that you love the children and you love your 'job.' It is great that you have finally been recognized for the wonderful job you have always done. You are much more than at teacher. You are a role model for life and your Christian values show in everything you do."
Ms. Birath makes several points worth emphasizing. One is her placement of "job" in quotation marks, suggesting that Lisa Miller epitomizes Confucius's ancient wisdom: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Like any great teacher, Lisa undertakes her work with a passion that makes it a labor of love, a disposition that appears to be shared by many of her friends and colleagues.
The second concerns Ms. Birath's grounding of Lisa's dedication to teaching in her religious faith. In a previous profile in this series of Bettina Polite Tate, I made a similar point, one that was received with varying degrees of acceptance by the blog commenters. I should reiterate that I am not personally a religious person, and so am not using Lisa's example to convert you to any particular faith.
What I do see in Lisa's embodiment of biblical values is her embrace of her savior's value on compassion. No matter what serves as its motivation, compassion is a quality that great teachers have, in that it drives them to care for students in profound and meaningful ways. They care about their academic development, but just as importantly they care for and nurture their growth as good citizens, family members, friends, and loved ones. Ultimately, those qualities are at least as important as any scores on math or spelling tests.
Lisa's classroom excellence is only part of her work for her community. She has worked for the March for Babies, a March of Dimes charity that provides assistance so babies begin life healthy. I see this volunteer work going hand-in-hand with her decision to teach at the kindergarten level, a time of great sensitivity to students in their physical, emotional, and academic development.
In past articles for the AJC's Get Schooled blog, I have made the case that teachers are the heart and soul of every school. Lisa Miller shows how big that heart can be, and the kind of soul it grows. Lisa Miller is more than a teacher in an isolated room of kids. She has a bigger presence, one that uplifts her school and community and makes the educational experience critical and fulfilling. That's hard to measure with numbers, but tangible in terms of the inspiration and care that people recognize in her contributions. That's my kind of teacher, and one all Georgians can be proud to have in our schools.

I totally agree with these thoughts. Lisa Miller is a credit to the teaching profession. She is an outstanding teacher. The days of her life will be blessed, and she will be a blessing to others all of the days that she teaches. She makes me proud to have been a teacher. She knows what teaching is all about.
Thank you, Lisa Miller, for who you are as a human being, and for how you nurture your students to reach their potential by fostering harmony and integration within their mental, physical, and emotional development. You help to create whole, evolved human beings who will, in turn, be blessings to others.

In a cynical age, one in which even a nod to the beneficent influences of a Christian life rightly lived may come with a disclaimer—we can rejoice in discovering individual teachers whose personal values nonetheless lead them to excel.
May others like her find encouragement in that.

If all the teachers of this world were as Lisa Miller in this article is described to be, than I too, would agree that teachers are the heart and soul of all schools. But unfortunately that is not the case. As is the fact that when you have parents and all staff members of the school doing their part, no one piece of the puzzle is more important than another. The key is to be student or child-centered – and I've seen schools where the custodian epitomizes that even more than many educators.
March 18th, 2013
7:17 am
To call one teacher the heart and soul of a school is a terrible slap in the face to all the other educators in that school! Millions of teachers do the same thing day after day all across the world. To brag on someone who is just doing her job is bad. It makes me wonder what the author thinks of most teachers.
March 18th, 2013
7:53 am
I don't know what the author thinks but I know that Lisa is one many teachers out there and any school can have more than one heart and soul. The problem is that the public and political narratives that exist about teachers have been so overwhelmingly negative that we rarely read narratives like these that remind us of the overwhelming majority of teachers who should be allowed to just teach.
March 18th, 2013
8:13 am
I would like to say THANK YOU to ALL the teachers out there – not just Lisa Miller (although I am sure she is a great woman). Teachers regularly put up with crap that I would NEVER put up with – they are unappreciated for the job that they do, and they totally lack support (for the most part) from their ADMINISTRATORS. So THANKS, teachers!
March 18th, 2013
8:15 am
I would like to see the author do an article on the heroes of the APS cheating scandal – the ones who refused to cheat and lost their jobs because of it. Especially if they did not get their job back (have you heard of ANY teacher being reinstated after being fired because they refused to cheat?)
March 18th, 2013
8:17 am
Or perhaps there are teachers out there who refused to go along with their principals in a student promotion committee after the student failed the CRCT, and had their contract "non-renewed" because of it. These are the real heros of teaching.
March 18th, 2013
8:18 am
Thanks to Lisa Miller for doing the right things for young children. There are more like her all over our state, and I wish our Governor and Legislature would acknowledge them and give them the support they deserve. Instead, for the past 11 years state leaders have only given lip service and no real material support. Today in Georgia, Lisa and thousands of other teachers are doing their jobs well because they love children and want them to succeed. In return, teachers receive a slap in the face with no salary increases, larger classes, less money to buy classroom equipment and supplies, and disdain from many state leaders, who tell them they're lucky to have jobs. All we can do is hope that the political pendulum will soon swing back to the middle and public schools again are given the support that's so badly needed. The best investment for economic growth is in public schools, not in tax credits for corporations and others who don't need it.
March 18th, 2013
8:39 am
"an analysis by the AJC about 4 years ago showed virtually NO school system following the requirement to pass CRCT in 3,5,8. A minuscule number of kids retained, statewide."
Schools (principals mostly) are thumbing their noses at the Georgia Legislature that passed regulations about social promotion.
March 18th, 2013
8:44 am
I hope that by focusing on Lisa, I am not giving the impression that she is the only good teacher in her school. Goodness gracious, what a conclusion to draw from this profile. Here's what I actually said above: "I have made the case that teachers are the heart and soul of every school." Note that I used the plural form, not the singular.
I wish I had world enough and time to write all the columns that people recommend I undertake. How about if those who suggest topics go ahead and write essays that express your own perspectives, which you surely can do better than I possibly could. I look forward to reading them.

I feel that this essay is a slap in the face of all teachers who are doing their job and going that extra mile. I will repeat that one teacher cannot be the heart and soul of a school to say so implies that all the other teachers in the schoolo are not doing their job. If you want to write about great teachers you should include more than one in your report. While I am sure Ms. Miller is a great persona and teacher, she is only one of thousands across this state. I am thinking she must be a friend or relative to the author to have been singled out as doing something out of the ordinary. Which by the way is not out of the ordinary. Schools are full of this kind of teachers!! She is doing nothing beyond what the job calls for, to have her praised for doing her job is not right. This essay gives the impression that other teachers are not doing their jobs. This is simply not true!
March 18th, 2013
12:06 pm
@Maude Two things, the article DOES NOT imply "that all the other teachers in the schools are not doing their job." It simply takes the time out to recognize the teachers they feel are doing their "job" exceptionally well. As Lisa Miller's son, I can personally tell you that we are NOT related to Peter or Maureen. My mother hates recognition and I had to personally beg her to let them feature her. Secondly, this is part of a SERIES in which MANY teachers have been featured and many more will be featured in the future. Please see the line where the author writes, "In a previous profile in this series of Bettina Polite Tate, I made a similar point, one that was received with varying degrees of acceptance by the blog commenters." IN A PREVIOUS PROFILE IN THIS SERIES… This is a series, did you actually read the article? Look, if they're not posting them at a fast enough rate, maybe you should research and write some posts yourself and help them expedite this process a bit. If you feel that strongly about it, maybe they can start posting 2-3 teachers at a time. You're right that there are many teachers out doing similar things what Lisa Miller is doing. However, I think you're naive to thing that ALL teachers approach their jobs in the same way. Some teachers race out of the building at 3:59pm while some routinely stay to 6pm or later preparing for the next day. Some put the bare minimun into their craft, while others put money from their OWN small paychecks BACK into their classroom in the face of budget cuts. As a person with first-hand knowledge, she goes WAY BEYOND "what the job calls for." I think that's what her peers were trying to say when she was nominated and then awarded Teacher of the Year. Unless you have first-hand knowledge of what she actually does on a daily-basis and not just what you read in an abbreviated article, you can't say what someone does beyond "what the job calls for." Again, I see what she does when the camera's aren't rolling and when no one is writing about it. I see the extra work that goes into providing shoes and clothes for needy students which is NOT in her job description. I'm the one over at her house at midnight to build something she's seen in a book, a magazine, or on Pinterest that she thinks her students have to have. I'm the one at Home Depot with her buying supplies out of her own pocket to build things to increase this "safe-environment classroom." I see what she does "beyond what the job calls for" and so do the students she teaches. That's all that matters. The fact that someone decided to write about it doesn't affect her one bit. She'll still be a Super Teacher tomorrow. I don't know how many "great teachers" there are vs. "average teachers." I don't have the numbers. However, I personally thank Peter and Maureen for highlighting my mother and all the other great teachers they find for doing what can sometimes feel like a thank-less "job." This article was completely written before my family knew anything about it. The authors did their own research and found a blog post I wrote 4 years ago about my mother and used it for a quote. You two did a wonderful job and I look forward to reading more of the profiles in this SERIES of great teachers.

Sigh. It never seems to fail: these congratulatory letters about various teachers bring out the snipers. Here it was by the sixth post. I do hope that Ms. Miller was braced for this when Professor Smagorinsky told her he was writing about her for "Get Schooled."
March 18th, 2013
12:26 pm
The congratuatory letters do not bring out snipers. This essay places this one teacher above all the rest. It seems to me that the author of the essay and readers of this blog think all teachers are sorry ones. I would suggest that the author plan to spend more time in schools and he will truly see that this one teacher is only doing the same thing most teachers do.
March 18th, 2013

"Funny, Maude, and others who take the perspective that I'm placing this one teacher above all the rest: Heaven help us."
I agree with your thoughts on this, Professor Smagorinsky. I did not perceive that you were attempting to place one teacher above all the other teachers.
It was my perception upon reading your article that you were simply highlighting, for public awareness, Lisa Miller's outstanding efforts as a teacher, as well as highlighting the full spectrum of what matters in teaching. Thank you for doing both.

What concerns me is her "teaching in her faith."
Faith teaching is soley the purview of the parents and the parents' chosen religious leaders.
I do not want any religion being taught in a public school. That's MY job.
March 18th, 2013
4:44 pm
Apparently NOW Peter is saying that she's "teaching religion in public school." These comments are becoming quite comical.
March 18th, 2013
6:19 pm
Teachers are never the heart and soul of any school system, regardless how well they teach and nurture children.
STUDENTS and teachers are the heart and soul of the school as one cannot exist without the other.
To write about this teacher as THE (singular) heart and soul of the school is to give a slap in the face to all other good teachers and all good students.
The author who wrote that about this teacher is obviously stupid. To single out one teacher as the heart and soul of a school is to alienate EVERYONE else.
I have no opinion as to whether this teacher is great or not as I do not know her but I do think Peter is an idiot for making such a comment.
And again…
All we ever hear about the great teachers called out on this blog is a vague description that they are great.
What would really be helpful, and not just PR, is for the authors to say, specifically, what they do that makes them great.
In that way, we can all learn from the teacher. What techniques does she use?
Mary Elizabether offers helpful, specific techniques for managing both discipline and academics. If we knew what specific techniques this teacher used, we'd all be better for it.
In short, we need better guest writers or at least someone to help them write better essays.
March 18th, 2013
7:52 pm
@ BKM. What is happening here is quite sad. Those of us who are actually teachers greatly applaud your mother and the way she clearly values all of her students. What struck me the most as I read Professor Smagorinsky's essay was that she is a kindergarten teacher who clearly shapes her young students' entire venture into education. God bless her. (Yes! I actually addressed a prayer to our Deity on her behalf! May she be sustained in spite of the envy and spite she has experienced on this blog so far.)

@ Pride and Joy, 6:19 pm
"Mary Elizabeth offers helpful, specific techniques for managing both discipline and academics. If we knew what specific techniques this teacher used, we'd all be better for it."
Thank you for you compliment to me, Pride and Joy, but I must disagree with you about this. The point of this essay was to underscore the positive impact that teachers' love and compassion will have not only upon their students, but upon the entire school and community in which teachers works.
Professor Smagorinsky wrote, "No matter what serves as its motivation, compassion is a quality that great teachers have, in that it drives them to care for students in profound and meaningful ways."
It was because I first loved, and had compassion for, all of my students, that I was motivated to spend extra effort and time in developing academic programs and disciplinary techniques which I believed would prove to be beneficial to their growth and to their future success after the school years.
Professor Smagorinsky, also, wrote the following words, specifically about Lisa Miller, "In past articles for the AJC's Get Schooled blog, I have made the case that teachers are the heart and soul of every school. Lisa Miller shows how big that heart can be, and the kind of soul it grows. Lisa Miller is more than a teacher in an isolated room of kids. She has a bigger presence, one that uplifts her school and community and makes the educational experience critical and fulfilling."
Here were the words of Lisa Miller, herself, from which we all can learn: "It is my responsibility to create an environment that is positive and conducive to learning". . . "Students that feel safe to explore their thoughts and ideas will be encouraged to strive to gain more knowledge and skills and will be more likely to continue to seek knowledge once they leave my classroom. . . "As a kindergarten teacher, I know that a child's first teacher is their family and they are sometimes influenced by society. Emphasizing the connection between home, school and community is important because children's well-being is affected by decisions made from each group. . ."
Compassion cannot be taught. It stems from the depths of one's spiritual awareness that all are interconnected and that, spiritually, all are equal. When one experiences compassion which is profoundly felt, one realizes, without words, that "there but for the grace of God, go I." The compassionate teacher sees the needs of each of her/his students, without judging them, and she knows that she must act to care for those critical needs. It is that simple, but the motivating force behind the teacher's action is compassion.

Correction: "teachers work."

I was very concerned about the holy roller Jesus as my Saviour stuff in this article. I thought the article was fine, until all of a sudden it crossed the line into her Religious passion and using her Religious passion in teaching in a public school. Now that bothers me. It bothers me big time as a parent and Catholic,the original Christian Religion. Many times in Georgia public schools my children have encountered Evangelical Christians as teachers. These teacher's want to use the public class room to spread their brand of Christianity. Their brand that claims that my Catholic children are not even Christian. Pity how bad they make the Jewish, Muslim, Buddish, and other actual non-Christian Religions feel.
As an individual whom has taken University level classes on World Religions, it amazes me how little some of these teachers know about other Religions, and other Christian forms of Religions. They have know idea of how Christianity evolved from Easter Sunday on. They only know what the Evangelical Minister who has them speaking in tongues on Sunday, or the Eddie Long, The Praise Church, etc.. feeds them on a weekly basis. These teacher's then spout these "facts" to the students, in the public school. My children had less Religious talk in Catholic School when they attended, then they do from some Public School teachers. The real problem I have is the total lack of respect of other people's religion from some of these teachers.
My daughter who went through 8th grade in Catholic School, had to repeatedly fill in the blanks for her AP Human Geography about other Non-Christian Religions, and about Catholism. Since, in Catholic School they were taught about all the worlds major religions. The teacher could not answer the questions about the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Catholic Religion the other students had, only my 14 year old daughter could. The teacher could only spout what her Preacher spouted, and his twist on the Bible.

Nowhere in the article does it say that Lisa Miller is teaching religion in her classroom. After 20+ years of teaching, don't you think someone would have said something by now?! This is getting really ridiculous. It's about reading and comprehension. You've all read the article, now please try to comprehend the information. It's really sad the twists and turns that this article has been taken through. NO ONE is teaching religion in schools! THAT'S NOT WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS. We as an intelligent society of people have reached an all-time low when this is the response to someone giving teachers (PLURAL BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIES ABOUT SEVERAL TEACHERS, NOT JUST LISA MILLER) a pat on the back for doing a good job. This is really sad.

This is the only sentence in Professor Smagorinsky's essay about Ms. Miller's use of religion in her KINDERGARTEN classroom: "What I do see in Lisa's embodiment of biblical values is her embrace of her savior's value on compassion." I do not know how on earth anyone can extend that into the vituperation of Another Comment at 8:26 pm. Perhaps Ms. Miller is Protestant; perhaps she is Catholic (can't black people be Catholic?); or perhaps she is Buddhist, since he taught compassion for all living beings.
And just how, in any case, does one introduce "holy roller Jesus as my Saviour stuff" into a kindergarten class??

@OriginalProf I'm not sure how it's done but I'm sure someone will leave a comment and enlighten us all. I've learned that my mother (and therefore myself) is related to Maureen AND Peter (which must be the only way teachers get recognition these days), I've learned that Peter thinks that Lisa Miller is the ONLY good teacher in the world (even though he's written about several, go figure.), and NOW I'm learning that she's holding Bible Study each day in her classroom (even thought the original comment about her religion quoted in this article was taken from a comment posted on MY personal blog from a family friend four years ago). I learned all this from the comment section of this article.

Thank You, Maureen and Peter, for writing and publishing an article that could inspire any of us, no matter what we're currently doing in life, to return to the classroom in hopes of doing half the good that someone like Lisa is doing. "Emotional safety"…thank God for the sanity of that idea!

Everyone the problem as I see it was the title of the essay "heart and soul of the school" I don't mind teachers getting recognization, but the "heart and soul" statement was over the top. Without the title I would have read the essay with a different mind set, if the title was more like " Ms. Miller is an example of what great teachers we have in Georgia". Yes, there are teachers who do not go the extra mile but they pale in numbers to the ones who do exactly the same thing Ms. Miller does. I feel that everyone should know that FACT. The qualities Ms. Miller exhibits are not rare but the norm. Please write something to reflect that fact!
March 19th, 2013

@ Funny, et. al. I'm sure that the "title of the essay" was written by some journalist at AJC whose assignment is writing headlines for the articles! I feel bad for Ms. Miller who had to read these posts so conspicuously lacking compassion, but glad that she has such a loyal son, BKM, who waged war on her behalf. And thank you, Ed Johnson at 7:20 am, for your link reminding us that ALL religions preach that compassion for others is the cornerstone of their beliefs. Some of the posters here need that reminder.

@ Funny, 7:51 am
Funny, your suggestion for a title is too generic, I think, to make a definitive statement about the specific qualities that great teachers, and the teaching profession, itself, should have – as does the chosen title for Professor Smagorinsky's essay.
Please note the following line from Peter Smagorinsky's essay, above: "In past articles for the AJC's Get Schooled blog, I have made the case that teachers are the heart and soul of every school." Notice that Professor Smagorinksy chose to use the plural form of the the word "teacher."
Professor Smagorinsky affirms that teachers are the heart and soul of every school. To continue to be the heart and soul of schools, teachers must continue to be magnanimous in spirit. Imo, if a teacher is magnanimous in spirit, he or she will not be concerned with who does, or who does not, receive credit. Being magnanimous in spirit, to me, means being happy for any, and all, who excel. Moreover, that is an attitude, and consciousness, that evolved teachers should model for their students to emulate.

@ Ed Johnson, 7:20 am
Thank you for your links to "Contract for Compassion." I have already signed up for "Contract for Compassion," so that I might keep growing in that direction and that I might, perhaps, even lend my time and effort toward helping others, throughout the world, to value building compassion.
I am very gratified to learn that this movement, and that this organization, exist. The world so much needs this movement to catch fire in the "hearts and souls" of people throughout the world. You were wise to post your links, and I much appreciate that you did so.

It is appropriate to call out the pronounced church-speech in this article from talking about "blessings" which is rather common peasant-talk in Georgia, to a colleague referencing "Christian values," which when you have two in the school house doing this should be examined. Allow me to explain, and I am writing this as one versed in the Christian tradition. In other words, I would guess these same persons might be bigoted toward persons of other religions or cultures, for example would a Hindu teacher or atheist teacher be as welcome in the same school house? I expect not.
To be honest, this also makes the education professor appear to be utilising the most politically acceptable form of accolade possible. I assure you there are many competent ethical academics who could / would / should tear this religious fixation applied to government schools to shreds and there is good reason for it. It is not real far from "Taliban thinking" and if you will note, it the Christians with the fighter jets with love in their hearts who are dropping the bombs.
It is peculiar that the education professor, the featured teacher, and teacher's colleague, and the weblog editor all seem to ignore the principle of separation of church and state applied to government schooling. It is notable that for the majority or Georgians, this locally popular religion culture is virtually unquestionable and insures a certain acceptance and success. Except, that I question it. Virtue is expected to be unstated. Religion in the government workplace, possibly more so. Meanwhile, we're hiring Hindus to do outsource our maths and information technology. But I guess we can use up those heathens before discarding them and putting some righteous Christian figureheads as the bosses. Faith is universal and not just in the school house, but educators (kindergarten and university) have responsibility to both observe the law and respect others who may not share their pack mentality or willingness to sing the local song that is know so well to assure their own stability and success, often at real cost to other more cosmopolitan individuals.

Do keep us informed when the education professor emulates the life of Christ and washes the feet of a prostitute or takes action to overturn the money-changers' tables in the temple.
PS Looking forward to the treatise on the meaning of Revelations.

It seems to me that there is a distinction between living out one's religious faith in one's daily life–how one approaches other people, how one dedicates oneself to service–and preaching one's faith to others in an attempt to convert them. I believe that Jesus made this distinction when he advised private prayer that only God hears rather than ostentatious public prayer. When I read the essay about Ms. Miller above, I assumed the former. I see no evidence from anyone of the latter in her classroom.
The entire issue of the separation of church and state seems quite irrelevant here. Where exactly is the "church-speech"? Ms. Miller seems to be trying to put her personal faith into practice by treating others in a compassionate way, living her faith by example, I guess, rather than by preaching any words. I have known professors who were Orthodox Jews and adhered to the Talmudic teaching to seek social justice by reminding their students of equality for all; and I have known others who were Buddhist and tried to help their students learn to meditate inwardly. None of them proselytized in the classroom.
It seems to me that freedom of religion includes the freedom to HAVE religion, and that is what Ms. Miller is exercising.

People, let me say this and I will finally leave this alone as my mother has begged me to do for two days now. LISA MILLER NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RELIGION. The content for this article was taken from her Teacher of the Year application in which she never mentions Jesus, Baby Jesus, adult Jesus, Buddha, Allah or any other deity you can think of. The quote about her "Christian values" was made by a family friend who POSTED IT TO MY PERSONAL BLOG. No one is mixing church and state or "converting heathens" or anything else that I've seen posted here in the comment section. It was a personal comment from a family friend in a private setting (my personal blog) that was never meant for public consumption. The assumption that she is somehow preaching hellfire and brimstone to kindergarteners couldn't be further from the truth. To those who have supported and congratulated my mother, I thank you on her behalf. To those of you who have perverted what was meant as a moment of recognition for ONE OF the great Georgia teachers, it's time to move along. This horse is dead (even though it never really existed) and there is no need to beat it any longer. I had to convince my mother to do this article because she shuns recognition for doing what she feels is her duty to these kids. Because of what has transpired in this comment section, I regret it dearly. The silver-lining is that my mother hasn't been affected by this at all. She knows that the only thing that matters is doing a great job in shaping the futures of the 20 or so kids in her class. Long after the cameras stop rolling, the articles stop being written, and the off-based comments stop being made, she'll still be "Super Teacher." Good luck to you all.

Let me guess, now Lisa Miller beats horses? Okay, I'm really done this time.
March 19th, 2013

Where exactly is the "church-speech"
And you calls yourself a prof?!!!
1. testimonials
2. your Christian values show in everything you do
3. embodiment of biblical values
4. embrace of her savior's value
5. (crossing a line here) those qualities are at least as important as any scores on math or spelling tests
and Feb 27th post referenced in article http://blogs.ajc.com/get-schooled-blog/2012/11/27/a-teacher-led-by-faith-and-fire-for-her-students-bettina-polite-tate-of-savannahs-johnson-high/
6. A teacher led by faith
7. a devout Christian
8. "not promoting Christianity itself here" (?)
9. Bible Belt teacher educator
10. Biblical notions of good works
11. lucky to have her on our side (taking sides? then who is the "other?" the Devil? Jean Genet?)
That's two for two, Professor Smagorinsky. Two "Christian values" teachers featured. This is certainly not values neutral scholarship, sourced from EmpowerED Georgia, where "Our Beliefs" are a category on the mainpage. Perhaps they mean "mission statement."
March 19th, 2013
7:09 pm
@ Private Citizen. Calm down. This is a kindergarten teacher you're writing about here. If she isn't preaching to her 5-year old charges, then how is she damaging them?
I think you need to learn a little tolerance toward those who do not share your own beliefs. It's quite legal to be an educator and have religious faith. As a professor, I've taught all sorts of American and international students and have respected their beliefs, including the absence of any at all. And all of us–including you–live in "the Bible Belt."
March 19th, 2013
7:16 pm
Prof, My comments are not of the teacher, however the essay, colleague comments in the essay, and featured scholarship certainly illustrate a certain systematic theology and I suggest to you that there is real fallout in such coordinated opinionation.
March 19th, 2013
7:22 pm
Point is, prof, there is scholarship on the higher end of the spectrum concerning the real import, if not requirement, of values neutral education, and to veer from this is right there, hand in hand, with doing "character training" and such in schools. You may not be informed of the level of this type of activity being substituted in place of education in Georgia. Let me summon one document from you, that should scare you to death if you have any sense. Outside of the USA, there are places where this type of thing would land you in court and for good reason. It is brainwashing, and it is dereliction of duty and misapplication of resources.

The words of St. Paul from his letter to the Corinthians (Chapter 13):
"Love suffers long, and is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,
Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not its own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. . . "
Love (and a form of love, compassion,) is not what a teacher teaches her students, but love is, instead, what certain teachers embody as they teach curriculum. Students will observe, for themselves, the love and compassion within their teachers' hearts, and they will be nurtured by its presence.

Students will observe, for themselves, the love and compassion within their teachers' hearts
Mary Elizabeth, When did you turn into a propagandist? Did someone flip the "seance switch" for you? Because you're not being very real. Now you've got little kids "observing adults" and looking down into the "teachers' heart" like they're Moses? For someone with so much background and skills, how did you suddenly skip the basics of child psychology, and "cast a spell" of children with the fully-developed higher-order skills of observation? Must be the love in action.

Following the success of their hit "It's Time," Imagine Dragons ' single " Radioactive " is now climbing the pop charts, and frontman Dan Reynolds says the group never expected that they'd be played on the radio alongside Rihanna and Maroon 5 .
"We had no idea that would happen. We're a little flabbergasted," he tells Rolling Stone , adding that he feels their success is due to pop music becoming more eclectic in recent years. "There's a lot of artists that opened the door for us," he explains. "We wouldn't be where we are if not for groups like Foster the People , Mumford & Sons. [Pop] radio has changed a bit in recent years and allowed in these bands that are a little more alternative-leaning."
As for the song "Radioactive," Dan explains, "That's basically a song about my struggle with anxiety and depression. It's about becoming self-empowered and rising above that. I wanted to write a masculine and primal song about conjuring and rising above human weakness."
Imagine Dragons is currently trekking across North American promoting their debut album, Night Visions . The band will also hit a number of festivals this summer including Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, AL; the Made in America festival in Philadelphia, PA; Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI; and Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL. Visit ImagineDragonsMusic.com to view the full itinerary.

On the north side of Siesta Key, on a sand bar, a herd of manatees attracted the attention of a group of waders. But instead of admiring their beauty from a distance, a woman grabbed one, then rode on its back. Later, she touched a manatee again, and so does the guy she's with.
We took the video taken from Eagle 8 to Florida Fish and Wildlife officer Baryl Martin. As he watched, he commented. "Yeah, it appears somebody, one of the females is touching the manatees on the back. And actually riding the manatee. That's a violation of the manatee sanctuary act" said Martin.
Bothering a manatee is a second degree misdemeanor. You can spend 60 days in jail and be fined 5-hundred dollars. Besides being illegal, it can be dangerous. So Mote Marine Laboratory offers some advice.
Watch manatees from at least 1-hundred feet away.
Don't push them into deeper water.
And don't feed or harass manatees.
"These are one of the most beloved animals in the State of Florida and it's really our job and everybody's job to try and keep these animals safe said the FWC's Baryl Martin.

Will my service be physically disconnected when you turn off my service?
Ameren Missouri will attempt to read the meter(s) on the day you requested your service to stop, but we may choose to leave the electric or gas service active.

 Your responsibility for the billing will stop on the day you request that the service be turned off provided that we have access to the meter.

 If you are moving gas appliances like a stove or clothes dryer, Ameren Missouri will physically turn off the gas service for safety reasons. Also, if the premise is scheduled for demolition, Ameren Missouri will physically turn off the services and remove the meter(s), pipes, lines, etc.
Are there special considerations I need to know about?
Customers with accounts in collections status, accounts (properties) managed with our Property Management program or those who request removal of service wires should call the Ameren Missouri Customer Contact Center, 800.552.7583.
The gas meter is inside my residence. Do I have to be home at the time the meter is scheduled to be disconnected?
Yes. Please arrange for an adult (18 years or older) to be present to give us clear access to the meter for gas to be disconnected. However, the gas meter will not be disconnected if the new occupants request service prior to the date you have scheduled for the meter to be disconnected. In this case, Ameren Missouri will simply transfer names on the requested date.

 Please note: If you do not allow Ameren Missouri access to an inside gas meter, you will be responsible for the gas usage at the residence until the gas service is transferred out of your name.
What information does Ameren Missouri need when I turn off service?
We need to know the date you will turn off service and whether you will be moving any gas appliances. We also require a forwarding address for your final bill.
I need to change some information on my order. What should I do?
You can update your order online provided you originally placed the order online. If you did not originally place your order online, please contact the Ameren Missouri Customer Contact Center.

The entrance to Brooklyn Bowl, one of Brooklyn most popular gathering places in one of its hippest neighborhoods. Michael del Castillo
Yesterday, the Brooklyn Bowl bowling alley in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was filled with hundreds of hipsters hucking glittery bowling balls down waxed lanes and smoking unfiltered cigarettes out front.
Today, TedX Brooklyn, part of the TED (Technology Engineering and Design) conferences on innovation, gathered a dozen neighborhood influencers and an audience of local thinkers to eat huge sandwiches called Belly Busters and talk about spreading ideas through community using some outside the box techniques perfectly suited for the offices of small businesses.
"Some of the best business relationships don't start as a business relationship, but are just two guys at a bowling alley talking about music," said Varghese Chacko, event co-founder. "They aren't worried about getting value out of each other but just share that common connection."
The trick though, according to many of the speakers, is getting that shared experience coming from the wildly different backgrounds one expects to find in most communities.
And considering that a report published today in the Atlantic on the New York neighborhoods with the most out-of-towners placed Williamsburg at the top of the neighborhoods outside of Manhattan, perhaps the Brooklyn Bowl is the perfect place to demonstrate bringing together divergent view points.

Other speakers included Tommy Mitchell, founder and chief executive of New York-based startup Green Barrell Energy, writer and This American Life contributor Starlee Kine, and Nana Mensah, a native of Ghana who co-founded Adelos Media, a Manhattan-based production company.
But of these, and many more, three contributors knocked down all the pins with their tips on building a sense of community from divergent experiences. Click here to view slideshow.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

The fall semester is just around the corner at Oakland University, but time is running out for professors to work out a new contract.The 2009 deal expires at 11:59 p.m. tonight but there's been yet another snag at the bargaining table. The state's mediator involved was unavailable to meet Monday, meaning negotiations have been pushed back to Thursday.Union leads are now butting heads over financial compensation and benefits packages.Karen Miller, president of Oakland University's American Association of University Professors, says OU professors are in the 16th percentile of faculty salaries for institutions of its size."We have very good fiscal management of the university and this is one thing that has distressed us so much that we believe that it's time for investment in one of the most important assets the university has and that's its faculty," said Miller.Late Monday, an Oakland University spokesman said it is school policy not to comment on ongoing negotiations.You can follow the contract negotiations online with regular updates at the following web sites:www.oakland.edu/?ID=22979&SID=173www.oaklandaaup.org/bargainingdiary.asp

POZ Track-By-Track: With The Punches - Seams & Stitches
With The Punches' debut album, Seams & Stitches, is officially out via Doghouse Records, and we couldn't be more excited. Not only is the band heading out in a week or so on the PropertyOfZack Tour with Forever Came Calling and State Champs, but they were also kind enough to write up a great Track-By-Track for us. Check out the meaning behind all the songs on Seams & Stitches below and buy the album here!
After we wrote and demoed Harvard and I Told You Already, it was time to sit down and start really getting into the writing for the full length and it started with this song and the descending guitar riff Mike wrote for the intro. We started working with it and actually the song came together fairly quickly. We all decided right away that this was going to be the first track on the record. Lyrically I love this song because it's about the point when Jesse and I first really started to become close friends, so I know what he is referencing when he talks about that apartment because it was my apartment too. I like the tone this song sets for the record. - Dustin
Bad Pennies
My favorite song on the record. Since the moment Vin and I figured out the intro for the song, there has just been something about the music for this song that kills me. I really love what everyone plays and how it all blends and builds off everything else, particularly Shane and Mike's parts stand out for me on this song. Mike has a lot of real awesome and subtle runs in this song and I think that it's how the two of them play that make the song hit so hard for me. Lyrically it deals with shitty people in your life and how no matter how much you try, sometimes people are unwilling to look at things from any perspective but theirs, and in that situation you can't always save the relationship. There are some people in this world you are just better off without. – Dustin
Harvard on the Hudson
Harvard hits home with me because I never went to college. All my friends left for school and I almost felt left out or dumb. This song was written to say that everyone chooses their own path. For me, it meant that even if I didn't go to college, it doesn't mean I can't be successful in what I do. At the time it wasn't so easy to wrap my mind around. Now, I have seen so many places and done so many things that I could never have imagined doing. I'm still striving to be the best at what I do, and that is playing music. Bottom line is, you don't need college if it's not the right thing for you. Do what you love and what makes you happy because that is what life ultimately comes down to. - Shane
This was actually based on something that I personally went through on tour. Jesse saw everything progress as it happened and asked if he could write a song about it. Long story short, I really liked this girl and everything seemed to be going great. We left for tour and, so she wouldn't forget about me, I sent her a postcard from a ton of places that we were at while we were gone. Again, it seemed to be going great and then a few days before the end of tour she told me that she didn't want anything more than for us to be just friends. I get home to find out that she had been hooking up with someone else while we were gone. It just really sucked. You live… you learn……… and you write a song about it. - Shane
Home In A Lighthouse
This song is one of my favorites and is so much fun to play. Starts off with a kind of fast metal riff then goes into straight fast melodic in your face punk rock. The writing process for this song was great too. It just started out as a thrash metal riff i was messing with in the rehearsal space. We all decided to work on it and structure it together. It's a heavy fun and fast track. - Vinny
Don't Panic
This song was so much fun to record in the studio. Just great vibes all around with the instruments. Recording the vocals was my favorite part. Jesse really kills every song in recording, and to do backing vocals with him is a pleasure. We work really well together. - Vinny
I Told You Already
One of my favorite songs on the record and it continues to grow on me daily. The song is about being on the road and leaving those you love at home for long periods of time and resonates with me because I have a girlfriend who I love dearly. It's the love and support of those we care about at home that allow us to do what we do, day after day, however difficult it might be. – Mike
New York Minute
Another one of my favorites, this song is fast, in your face, in and out, done. We wanted to write a quick, hard hitting song that was straight to the point, and I feel like that is exactly what we accomplished with "New York Minute", the phrase refers to the common belief that everything/everyone in New York moves faster than the rest of the world, hence the reason why the song is less than a minute (51 seconds) long – Mike
Letting Go
So pretty early in the writing process, the five of us went to the Doghouse office to play them some rough demos and talk about the progress and direction of the record. Everything was great, the people at Doghouse all seemed pretty happy and just as the meeting was ending Jesse's phone rang, the call came from one of our close friends to tell us that another of our friends had passed away. We were crushed. This was the first time in my life I'd lost a friend, and immediately you start thinking about every message you didn't return, every time you were supposed to hang out but got busy and didn't make it. I always think about the last conversation he and I had, it was last summer and we were on tour in Maryland, he told me how proud of Jesse and I he was and everything we'd accomplished with the band. He was a huge part of mine and Jesse's friendship, someone we'd played music with, and one of the most incredible and brilliant people I have ever known. This song is about saying goodbye and thank you to someone who you didn't get the chance to tell how much they meant to you. - Dustin
Face Value
My favorite song on the record, hands down. Hard hitting intro, melodic verses and a catchy chorus make this anthem for individuality, in my opinion, the most dynamic song on the album. – Mike
This song is about one of my best friends in the world and our old guitar player Joe Cags. I brought him into this band after I met Jesse and Dustin and jammed with them a few times. He loved what we were doing, he quit his job, we went on a ton of tours, had awful shit happen to us, wrote Keep It Going and INTEOTW, and had some of the best times of our lives. Eventually, for him, it came time to man up and join the real world and get a good job to better his future, and the band was not a part of that. He will always remain one of mine and the band as a whole's best friends. I miss him playing with us every time we take the stage. This song was written for him, to show how much we appreciated every second he was with us. - Shane
Seams And Stitches
One of my favorites on the record, all around catchy, fun, and melodic. We put together this song a week before we recorded it. It was so much fun to work on as a band. Everyone just killed it when we put it together. The recording process was so awesome for this song and the whole record. Recording at Barbershop studios was the best experience ever. Kevin and his staff were incredible and made this recording session so comfortable for us. – Vinny
