Jazz Straight Ahead
Wednesday, 8pm-12am
John Tegler, the producer and host of Jazz Straight Ahead on WEAA. 88.9 FM in Baltimore has been a broadcaster since the age of 16 when he began on WPEN in Philadelphia, John now produces, hosts and syndicates Jazz Straight Ahead heard in Baltimore on Wednesday nights from 8 pm until midnight. The show is about to celebrate its 27th anniversary on the air.
John Tegler began his association with the music/jazz world as a teenager working jobs with various combos and eventually as the drummer with Lou Dennison's Big Band in Philadelphia. This association came naturally. His father sang in the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera and he had one uncle who played with the original Woody Herman Band among others. Another, a physician, promoted jazz concerts at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Mr. Tegler eventually spent the better part of thirteen years with a number of name bands and jazz combos including those of Tex Beneke, Ralph Marteri, Claude Thornhill, Count Basie, Flip Phillips, Ritchie Kamuca and Irving Ashby as well as others.
As a broadcaster and writer, he has worked with a great many well known artists from the jazz world including people like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Mel Torme, Steve Allen, Nat Cole, Frank Wess, Frank Foster, Lou Donaldson, George Shearing, Billie Holiday, Joe Williams, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Harry James, Woody Herman, the Four Freshmen, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Junior Mance, Jimmy Heath, Mulgrew Miller, Terry Gibbs, Buddy DeFranco, Eric Alexander, Mike LeDonne and many, many others.
In addition to working in radio, television and the theater, John has produced and directed several documentary films. He has written many magazine pieces on jazz and is the writer, producer and narrator of a series of jazz and big band tribute concerts. He has also been the creator of and served on the committees for several jazz concerts over the years.
Questions for John Tegler
1. What is your favorite food? Meat and potatoes or pasta
2. Where did you grow up? Suburban Philadelphia
3. What do you like most about working in radio? Radio appeals to me because of the fact that it was once called "the theater of the mind" where people must used their minds and imagination.
4. What is your favorite book/books? I am an avid reader, primarily of history and biography.
5. Top five favorite artists of all time? If you are speaking of jazz, my top favorite artists include Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme and Joe Williams.
6. Favorite live performance attended? Too many to narrow it down to!
7. Vinyl, CD, or MP3? I favor vinyl and/or CD, both of which I have large collections of.

- Relieving Pain at the Pump
Thanks to Stronger Standards, Consumers Have More Fuel-Efficient Choices
Fact Sheet
- As gas prices are once again soaring, the oil industry and its allies are renewing their calls for more drilling, more pipelines, and continued taxpayers subsidies. But the reality is that greatly increased domestic drilling has failed to lower gasoline prices and had no impact on stopping the latest spike in global oil prices. The good news is that with the proposed standards that require the equivalent of 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg), new cars by 2025 will get twice the fuel efficiency and use half of much gas as today's cars. But the best news is that drivers do not have to wait until 2025 to reap the cost savings benefits of stronger fuel efficiency standards. In fact, thanks to the first phase of these stronger standards that started in model year (MY) 2012, a bumper crop of fuel-efficient cars are in the showrooms today. Drivers can start saving money immediately by trading in their gas guzzlers for today's gas sippers. Get document in pdf.
- High Gas Prices: Supply, Demand and the Oil Industry's Monopoly on Transportation
Efficiency and Better Cars Will Fuel America Faster than Drilling
- With such a meager share of global oil, no amount of domestic drilling will make a dent in our dependence on foreign imports, despite what Big Oil would have us believe. The only way to take back control over our energy future is to move toward more efficient cars and trucks, cleaner fuels, and more transportation options for Americans.

Corporate Objectives
Corporate Objectives
We choose to emphasize an objective of service. Service is more than just performance of a task with hope of reward. It involves the giving of oneself for the benefit of others. There is value and worth in serving, regardless of title or position. Too often the standards of success or achievement do not provide for recognition with honor for those who perform routine service work. At ServiceMaster Cleaning & Restoration Services, the service worker is the very lifeblood of our business. We see through our business to provide dignity and respect for the whole person. We will accomplish this by communicating to each person:
- Empowerment of each service partner with knowledge through training, products and equipment
- Definite standards of expectations
- Definite and measurable responsibilities of each employee
- An atmosphere of urgency and a sense of personal ownership
- A sensitivity to the ability and aspirations of each employee
- A positive attitude of service to our clients
Dignity does not result from one specific act, but is the result of many experiences -- in the workplace, in the home and in the community. Neither is dignity measured by the achievement of titles or material wealth. Rather, it comes from the recognition that every person has been created in the image of God, and can grow and develop in a workplace that provides the opportunity to serve others.
Our challenge is to create dignity and income through productivity. This has been and always will be a primary focal point at ServiceMaster Clean as we continue to be the provider of service to banking centers, businesses, medical facilities, schools, distribution centers and large industrial plants.

A woman who lives next door to where the FBI said kidnappers held a man hostage said the FBI raided her apartment mistakenly.
"I got a call from my neighbor saying that the apartment was swarming with police and that my door had been kicked down," said Shanquesia Jones, a neighbor.
Jones said she and other neighbors reported suspicious activity to the resident manager, Monday.
"This is my kitchen. The window is broken. My glass table is broken in half. They've torn everything up," said Jones.
She said she and other neighbors saw the kidnappers take the hostage into the apartment. She said the hostage was wrapped in sheets.
"My daughter and I have to lay our heads there. Now we have to fear for our safety. I can't sleep there. Last night we had to sleep in the car," said Jones.

Working on 'Stalker,' Star Maggie Q Is More Wary of Social Media Than Ever
"I do hope it's a show that makes them think twice about what they're putting out there," the star says.
CBS Broadcasting Inc. (CBS) is a major US commercial broadcasting television network, which started as a radio network, and continues to operate a radio network and a portfolio of large market television and radio stations. The name is derived from the initials of the network's former name, Columbia Broadcasting System. It is the second largest broadcaster in the world behind the BBC. The network is sometimes referred to as the "Eye Network" in reference to the shape of the company's logo. It has also been called the "Tiffany Network," which alludes to the perceived high quality of CBS programming during the tenure of its founder William S. Paley. It can also refer to some of CBS's first demonstrations of color television, which were held in a former Tiffany & Co. building in New York City in 1950.
The network has its origins in United Independent Broadcasters Inc., a collection of 16 radio stations that was bought by William S. Paley in 1928 and renamed the Columbia Broadcasting...

For the past two weeks, 'Extant' has aired two episodes back-to-back, with 7 to 8 and 9 to 10 each functioning like continuous two-hour mini movies.
Leading up to episode 6 of 'Extant,' we knew Molly's baby "boy" wasn't normal, but now it's clear he is dangerous. Very dangerous.
The dominance of television distribution is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean broadcasters aren't in for a lucrative future.
Despite all the action leading up to episode 4, 'Extant' is missing a spark -- that 'je ne sais quoi.'
It has been 50 years since Congress signed the Civil Rights Act, a landmark piece of legislation banning discrimination.
If episode 3 is any indication, 'Extant' is emerging as a series that deftly juggles out-of-this-world sci-fi spookiness, alongside relatable human problems.

220-mile ride to raise funds for Young Survival Coalition
By Meagan McGone
BREVARD - For the third year in a row, Lynn Pekmezian will cover 220 miles, over a three-day period, on her bicycle.
The Melbourne Beach resident will ride from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., with a group of 10 people - six breast cancer survivors in total, as well as four of their husbands - to raise funds for the Young Survival Coalition, a group supporting critical issues, resources and programs, unique to women younger than 45, who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Each year, the organization sponsors four "Tour de Pink" rides throughout the United States, as a way to continue its programs. Ms. Pekmezian will be participating in the East Coast route.
"I have been spending most of my days, the past month, on my bike in preparation for this year's 'Tour de Pink' to support the Young Survival Coalition," Ms. Pekmezian said. "When I ride, I feel I am making a difference. While the Young Survival Coalition was not created to cure cancer, it has a much more important role - to support cancer. Whether it be modern technology allowing for more diagnoses or our environment that is helping the cancer cells thrive, breast cancer is prevalent."
Ms. Pekmezian's group, The Melbourne Beach Cancer Chicks, will start its journey on Sept. 28. A breast cancer survivor herself, Ms. Pekmezian said the work leading up to the event can be grueling, but the outcome is rewarding.
"Training is tough, especially in this heat," she said. "I am currently trying to ride four to five days per week, with several long rides, 40 miles or more, mixed in. It is very time consuming, and as a mother of three, sometimes it is hard to squeeze in the miles that I need to cover."
But the funds and awareness that her group will raise for the Young Survival Coalition is enough to bring her to the finish line, as it has for the past three years.
"The Young Survival Coalition strives to support young, newly diagnosed breast cancer patients because the issues that a young woman faces are different," she said. "Some women are being diagnosed in their 20s, and they have not even had the opportunity to have a family yet. Sadly, breast cancer in a young woman's body tends to be more aggressive, so treatment is more severe. For these women, (my husband) Dean and I continue to hop on our bikes and ride, and we appreciate any support."

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Atlantic City's casinos saw their gross operating profits fall by more than 27 percent last year, even as revenue from non-gambling sources inched upward.
The city's casinos collectively posted $360 million in gross operating profits in 2012. They were hurt by having to close for up to a week for Superstorm Sandy.
Eight of the 12 casinos posted yearly profits, led by Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, with nearly $127 million. The Borgata was next at just under $120 million, but that figure represented a decline of more than 26 percent from last year.
Revel, which is in bankruptcy court, posted a $110 million operating loss from its April 2 opening through the end of the year.
The casinos' revenue from non-gambling sources increased by just under 3 percent.

Congratulations Gabriel!
Published on Monday, September 2, 2013 - 9:30am
Last week you got to meet Michaela, the winner of our summer reading Kindle Fire drawing for grade school children. This week we want to introduce you to Gabriel.
We know Gabriel and his grandmother as regular story time participants. Gabriel loves the book Duck at the Door by Jackie Urbanovic and any book about trucks! This summer Gabriel and his family, including his mom, dad and grandmother, worked together to finish the library's special reading program for younger children from birth to 5 years old called Read With Me.
We're thrilled to announce that Gabriel was the winner of our special raffle for the Read With Me summer reading program. He won a big bag full of amazing books, carefully selected for maximum fun!
The game sheet that Gabriel used for the summer reading program had lots of fun activities that promote early literacy and reading readiness. Gabriel and his family sang songs together, came to library programs, practiced counting, recited nursery rhymes and talked about what they saw on walks through the neighborhood.
Gabriel and his family will now be entered into a system wide raffle for a year's membership to the National Children's Museum at National Harbor. We're trying not to be biased, but we really hope that they win!
For more resources on early literacy and the DC Public Library's commitment to early literacy for everyone, please visit the Learn DC website or check out our calendar of story time programs near you!

Publication: theday.com
Beginning next school year, more than 20,000 students from five states — including some at New London's middle school — will participate in a new program that aims to expand their learning beyond the last bell of the school day.
Students from 40 districts in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Colorado will join their peers from 36 states in 1,002 schools that are already using an extended school day.
The new initiative, supported by the Ford Foundation and the National Center for Time & Learning, was announced Monday by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and other education leaders from across the country. In the fall of 2013, those schools will launch the program that will include after-school opportunities in science, math, language, arts, music, drama and sports.
"There is no more important equalizer in education than having children spend more time in good schools with good teachers. There is no substitute. This is the moment for the issue," Ford Foundation President Luis Ubiñas said.
"It is vital that states and the taxpayers in those states think about what they're buying with added education dollars. … They must be used for something tangible, something taxpayers can see, something like a longer school day. An investment in the longer day is an investment in the 21st century workforce and an investment in the economic future of this country," he said.
Three school districts in Connecticut, representing more than 3,000 students from New London, Meriden and East Hartford, have been selected to pilot the program next year. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is scheduled to visit schools in the three communities today.
School districts must submit detailed plans for how they will provide the expanded learning opportunities to students and officials from each school must attend statewide meetings on the effort.
"Students will have a regular school day, then the enrichment activities after school," New London Superintendent of Schools Nicholas A. Fischer said. "It's not just more classes, it could be a science lab, an outdoor activity, a field trip, a walking tour, a visiting speaker, there's all kinds of things."
Malloy, who attended Monday morning's conference at the Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington, D.C., said the state's commitment to closing the largest achievement gap in the country is "absolute."
"Connecticut has in fact a long and proud history as a leader in public education, but somewhere along the way we lost our edge," Malloy said. "Education as we know ... is the greatest equalizer … we will do everything to make sure that we don't simply offer opportunities but that we execute them."
In New London, the extended-day pilot program will begin at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School in January.
Editor's note: This version corrects an earlier version.
Two months ago, New London received $809,000 in Alliance District funds. A portion of that money — $120,000 — is earmarked for the district's effort for added learning time.
New London is one of 30 Alliance Districts named by the state commissioner of education, meaning it is one of the lowest-performing districts in the state.
Fischer said the extended-learning program "will be hard to keep up" if the Alliance District, or other state funding, decreases.
"Once this funding disappears, continuity will be an issue. The larger issue of school funding is one that absolutely needs to be addressed," he said.
Duncan said that if the country could close the opportunity gap, the achievement gap would follow.
Drawing upon his tenure as chief executive officer for Chicago Public Schools, Duncan said the most dangerous time of day for a child is from 3 to 6 p.m.
He said students there experienced high rates of crime and violence. They knew the potential of dying early was real.
They talked about "if" they grow up and not "when" they grow up, he said.
"Those hours after school are times of huge anxiety and huge stress," he said. "With high quality programming, social and emotional support, they start talking about when I grow up and not if I grow up. This is a huge step in the right direction."

An Indian court ruled on Thursday that the site of a demolished mosque in Ayodhya would be divided between Hindus and Muslims, in a ruling that could appease both groups in one of the country's most divisive cases. (Photo: Hindu priests cheer after verdict was announced, 30 Sept 2010/Mukesh Gupta)
The court in Uttar Pradesh also ruled that Hindu idols could stay on the disputed land, lawyers added. The demolition of the 16th century mosque by Hindu mobs in 1992 triggered some of India's worst riots that killed about 2,000 people. More than 200,000 police fanned out in India on Thursday to guard against any communal violence.
Times Now TV editor Arnab Goswami called it "nobody's verdict, nobody's solution," referring to the fact there was not one clear winner. There were no immediate reports of violence after the ruling.

PONTIAC (WKZO) -- The roof of the Pontiac Silverdome is no longer inflated as crews prepare the arena for a renovation project. Earlier this week, engineers turned off the giant fans which kept the fabric dome inflated as part of the plan to put up a hard roof with solar panels. Silverdome officials say while there are no shows planned at the site in 2013, they believe the new roof will help the stadium become more competitive for different types of events in the future.

Le Lavandou, France is a beautiful Mediterranean coastal town in Var, southern France. It is an immaculately kept town with 12km of pristine coastline and long sandy beaches inundated with tiny coves and idyllic private spots. With all the facilities and luxuries expected of a top class Mediterranean beach resort, Le Lavandou still maintains important facilities for fishing, and priority in the marina is given to the fishing fleet, although many beautiful luxury yachts are moored here.
The warm, crystal clear waters have made Le Lavandou a genuine treasure for the tourist industry in France. Not only do the beaches provide great sunbathing, beach volleyball courts and a base for swimming, but the waters of the Mediterranean have turned Le Lavandou from a small fishing port into a game fishing destination. The deep sea fishing is magnificent, and trips can easily be organized from the marina. Scuba diving is also hugely popular, and divers from across Europe descent on the holiday accommodation in Le Lavandou to explore the rich marine life.
The countryside of Var is extremely varied and rich in wildlife and points of interest, making it an ideal place for both walking and cycling holidays. Surprisingly for a seaside resort, a holiday villa in Le Lavandou is a great base for a walking holiday, with many excellent tracks and marked trails. Medieval hilltop villages and magnificent viewpoints offer a huge number of places to stop and catch your breath.
The sea is an important feature of life in Le Lavandou, and the Boat Show in April and Windsurfing Week in May are dedicated to the sea. Every Thursday morning, there is a large fish market, where local fishermen sell their catch, perfect for stocking the fridge in a self catering apartment.
There is plenty of evening entertainment in Le Lavandou too. There are a myriad of great restaurants, bars and nightclubs to suit all tastes, and there is even a casino.
Just a few miles along the coast is the beautiful medieval village of Bormes-les-Mimosas. Walking to the top of the hill, the ruins of the 13th Century chateau attract a huge number of tourists staying in a Le Lavandou gite.
Hyeres has a huge amount to see, much more than is possible on a day trip from a villa in Le Lavandou, but is still worth trying! Despite being on the coast, Hyeres doesn't have anywhere near the same atmosphere as the coastal resorts in the area. The narrow streets are filled with fashion boutiques and glamorous cafes, whilst the Park St Bernard is a beautiful place to walk. Diving, mini-golf, ice skating and hiking are popular activities from Hyeres too.
The summer in Le Lavandou is scorching, making the beaches an essential asset. Temperatures in the height of summer have been known to reach 40°C. During the winter, temperatures remain between 10 and 14°C.
Toulon-Hyeres Airport (TLN) and Saint-Tropez International Airport (LTT) are both within 25km of a holiday rental in Le Lavandou. BMIbaby, Ryanair and easyJet offer great deals on cheap flights to Le Lavandou.

UPDATE 1/6: Over 1200 volunteers across the Commonwealth completed 3662.5 hours of service at 80 community events.
RICHMOND (AP) -- Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe is asking Virginians to spend a day helping their communities.
McAuliffe's inaugural events include a day of service on Jan. 4. The inauguration website, Inauguration2014.com, lists opportunities across Virginia that are searchable by ZIP code.
McAuliffe tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch that he's trying to convey the theme of common good.
McAuliffe and the Inaugural Committee has also invited Virginia veterans, military members, and their families, free of charge, to the Hampton Roads Inaugural Ball on Sunday, January 5 at the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center in Norfolk.
Virginia veterans, military members, and their families interested in attending must email email@example.com with their name, branch and rank in military or previous branch and rank, number of tickets to reserve, and best phone number. The Inaugural Committee will reach out to those who RSVP through email with further details.
McAuliffe, Lt. Gov.-elect Ralph S. Northam and Attorney General-elect Mark R. Herring will take the oath of office on Jan. 11.

If there is so much aid in developing countries, why poverty is increasing in these regions and the industrialized world?
I'm doing a question for my project. Not only that poverty is increasing in the developing world for the worse, it is increasing in the industrialized world, especially the United States.

Dec 9 2012: "TED LOVER" hit it the nail on the head so I won't be redundant. People have accepted the monetary system as the gospel but when 30,000 people die of starvation everyday you can't say with a straight face that the current system works. The economic philosophies of John Locke and Adam Smith which are the foundations of the so called "Free Market" system are just that, Philosophies. Subject to improvement and standing the test of time. Philosophies can become obsolete. The problem is not limited resources. We have the resources and technology to feed, house and clothe everybody on the planet. The problem is that in a monetary system efficiency, sustainability, and abundance are enemies of profit. Scarcity is necessary to make goods valuable. The Zeitgeist documentary series part on economics actually does a good job of explaining why we have the system we have. Breaking the status quo is a threat to the establishment and many people's livelihoods. Because of this positive change will occur but at a slow pace unless a traumatic event forces us to rethink our whole belief system.

You can't get any more simple than a navigation-less one page scrolling website. While learning about the dangerous gas extraction process, there is lots of wonderful animation experienced scrolling downward into the earth at Dangers of Fracking website, which I think is an advocacy extension of project of Gasland, the movie and designed by Linda Dong.
I wonder if there is a certain psychology behind scrolling websites when the usability and delight-level is high? When the user is invested in a tiny way to scroll down and experiences great design and animation, do they become empowered to take further action?
The site is dangersoffracking.com. Take a look!

5 Breakout Stocks to Trade
Guanwei Recycling
Another stock that's moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade is Guanwei Recycling (GPRC). This company is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of low density polyethylene and other recycled plastics products, using imported raw material in the form of plastic waste. This stock has been uptrending strong over the last three months, with shares up sharply by over 50%.
If you look at the chart for Guanwei Recycling, you'll see that this stock formed a major bottom between September and October at around 67 to 66 cents per share. Following that bottom, shares of GPRC have uptrending strongly from 66 cents per share to its recent high of $1.07 a share. During that uptrend, shares of GPRC have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed GPRC within range of triggering a major breakout trade.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GPRC if it can manage to break out above some key overhead resistance levels at $1.07 to $1.10 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 80,511 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then GPRC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $1.30 to $1.72 a share. Any high-volume move above $1.72 would then put $1.93 to $2.10 into focus for GPRC.Traders can look to buy GPRC off any weakness as long as it's trending within range of its 50-day moving average of 90 cents per share. One could also buy off strength once GPRC clears $1.07 to $1.10 with volume and then simply use a stop at 92 cents per share. I would add to either position once GPRC takes out $1.30 a share with heavy upside volume.

"While browsing livejournal for Sharks icons, I found this multi-part epic about [Evgeni Nabokov] and Joe [Thornton] getting it on. Didn't read much (RPS ain't exactly my cup of tea), but apparently it revolved around the playoffs last year and the two of them comforting each other after the Sharks were eliminated. And by comforting, I mean butt sex."Also known as Celebrity Fic, this is basically fanfiction based on the real life of one or more celebrities (as opposed to a strictly fictional canon). Just as how people find fantasies and interpretations within their favorite fictional characters, so, too, do they find them in celebrities. Any and all fanfiction tropes can apply (for example, it could decide to base itself around the high school days of the celebrity, create a Relationship Sue to vicariously live out a relationship with the person, use them as part of a Hurt/Comfort Fic, etc.). The possibilities are endless and often just disregard the celebrity's history, personality, etc. in order to facilitate the plot (or, often, just the particular fetishes of the author). However, it's just as likely that a fic will be relatively accurate, based on knowledge of the celebrity's "real lives" gained from interviews, blogs, tweets, etc. Increased interactivity between actors/bands/whoever and their fans makes it extremely easy for ficcers to include canon details into their work. This avoids factual inaccuracy, although there's probably a fine line between research (good) and stalking (bad). Also common in this genre is for the celebrity to meet the fictional characters that he or she is famous for playing as. They might either coexist in the same universe (this is a flimsy premise at best) or there's some sort of alternate universe with travel between them. The final theme which turns up a lot is fics which blur the line between Character Shipping and Cast Shipping; depending on the quality of the acting, it's often easy to read real-life relationships between the actors in the emotions their characters portray towards each other on screen. These sorts of fics are often set in and around the filming of the show, to the extent that frequently they're just plain ol' show fics in disguise; the actors will often take on the traits and ideas of their characters and go through similar emotions and experiences. Somebody will tell you that there's some sort of metaphor in there for the duality of the actor and the character, or something. There is some level of controversy surrounding this genre. For some people, the mere existence of Real Person Fics — especially lemon fics — is a case of squick, while others don't see them as wrong as long as the tone is kept respectful. Then there are those for whom anything goes because it's unlikely the "protagonist" will ever read the fic anyway and will do everything from Character Derailment to Gender Bending to unceremoniously killing them off. (That last can sometimes be legally dangerous, though.) Fanfiction.net does not allow Real Person Fics anymore, but that doesn't stop anyone. Most of them are hiding here. The existence and popularity of "Celebrity Pulps" makes this Older than Television. Compare Historical-Domain Character. Not to be confused with when a Self-Insert Fic doesn't even bother with an Author Avatar and the author just puts themselves (and their friends) in.

Students of Tomorrow
Though one is still a student, and the other is the longtime Dean of Students, Brian Conway and Annamaria Wenner have something very important in common: a passion for serving the Wentworth community and ensuring that students get the most out of their college experience.
That's why they're both thrilled to see how the new facilities opening up on the campus will impact the lives of Wentworth students, faculty, and staff.
Brian Conway
Computer Networking '15:
Brian Conway chose Wentworth for its great location, the strong academic focus, the hardworking students, the school's innovative laptop program, and the "real world" experience provided by the co-op programs.
Now that he's been a student here for a couple of years, however, there's much more he's excited about—especially the chance to grow as a leader, and being part of an active and vibrant student body.
Brian has a big smile and infectious energy, which make him the right candidate to support hundreds of students through his main extracurricular activities, Wentworth Student Government and the Division of Technology Services.
At DTS, Brian is responsible for ensuring that everyone on campus stays "connected." Stationed in the Flanagan Center, Brian supports the technology needs of students, faculty, and staff, so people can get both work – and play – done.
Brian values the new building as a thriving hub for student activity: "The Flanagan center is tremendously beneficial to all of our students, whether they come in each day as a commuter, or live on campus. We've got everything from commuter programs, to a fitness center, to free WiFi, to an internet radio station, to tutoring spots, to meeting space for clubs and student leaders… all in one place. It's going to make for a better student experience, and draw us even closer as a community."
Annamaria Wenner
Annamaria Wenner also cares about the Wentworth student experience. As the Dean of Students since 2006—and the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs before that from 1997 to 2006—she leads nine different offices that touch every aspect of a student's life, from Wellness Education to Career Services to Housing and Residential Life. After more than 15 years of advocacy, she believes her most important calling is to help each Wentworth student overcome their obstacles and realize their own exciting future.
That calling is in no small part inspired by what she describes as the unique nature of a Wentworth student: "There's no sense of entitlement in our students. They know they have to work hard to get what they want, and they're not afraid of rolling up their sleeves to make it happen."
Things have changed, too, over the years that Annamaria has been here: "While our student body has changed over the years, as the school has changed, our work ethic hasn't gone anywhere. Our students don't come here to figure out what they want to do with the rest of their lives. They know what they want to do, and they're doing everything in their power to get there."
Annamaria is proud to work alongside such dedicated people: "If I can be a part of that, I'm thrilled."
As the campus facilities continue to expand and develop, Annamaria sees big things ahead: "Everything we've been doing is creating a stronger Wentworth for all of us, whether we live on campus or come here each day. We've got a place to be proud of here."

You may remember that the state of Indiana lost track of a little more than a half billion dollars over the past year.
Now auditors investigating Indiana's Department of Revenue are saying that it was outdated technology and a work culture that sacrificed accuracy for speed that led to $526 million in tax errors.
The audit results come roughly a year after Gov. Mitch Daniels disclosed the misplacement of $320 million in corporate tax collections.
That money was used to pay for a year of full day kindergarten and to pad the state treasury.
The audit also showed errors with 55,000 taxpayer accounts and over 2,800 tax refund requests that were never processed.
The audit did show that new management at the agency was trying to correct the problems.

Another cold front will move through CenLa tomorrow, bringing us a chance for rain. We can expect to see a few showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon hours as it passes through the region. Chance of rain is 50%. Once the front gets out of the area we'll see some nice fall weather for the rest of the week.
Beginning Tuesday, we'll see low temperatures in the 40's for a few days. As for highs, they'll warm to only the upper 60's and then lower to mid 70's for the remainder of the week. The "Election Day" forecast looks nice. Everyone heading out to the polls can expect dry, comfortable weather! We'll see plenty of sunshine for most of the week as high pressure begins to take control. In fact, the next chance for rain doesn't come back into the forecast until Sunday and as of right now it is only at 20%.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My third child is now attending Bennett. Our entire family loves Bennett and feels very "at home" there. The teachers have been fabulous and go the extra mile. The school is very clean and well kept. The playgrounds are safe and in great condition. The Bennett PTA is very active and has many programs for children. We are VERY HAPPY to be at Bennett.
3 of my boys have attended Bennett and they have all enjoyed it. I feel that they have received excellent education, and I have been especially appreciateive of the extyra reading help 2 of them got during their first couple of years. It made all the difference in the world. They did an excellent job of working with their IEP plans. The teachers and staff have been friendly.
Bennett is a good school with a lot to offer. It is not, however, in my opinion a great school. Bennett's staff is busy with a large and full school, and children are not considered as individuals. They are grouped, and given very little individual attention. Over the course of my 4 children's educations they have been to 3 schools, and Bennett has been the worst at making them feel welcome and comfortable, and the staff has not made the effort to identify their skills and weaknesses. One example of a negative experience: I asked the principal & the classroom teacher for some information and never recieved it. The truth is, no one is going to take care of your child at Bennett, beyond standard protocol, especially if you want your child challenged.
Bennett is a very active school - the PTA plans events throughout the school year for students and their families. They also bring in several extra programs (such as foreign languages) which students can take advantage of. Academically, the school is excellent. Test scores are among the best in the city. Teachers really seem to care about the students and want to see them succeed in all studies. Bennett offers music, art, physical education and computer classes which is not always available in schools. I would highly recommend the school to anyone moving into the area.

The USS Constitution: closed to tourists. The Faneuil Hall Visitor Center: padlocked. The Minute Man National Historic Park, the Bunker Hill Monument, Acadia National Park: All shuttered until further notice.
As the looming threat of a widespread federal government shutdown grew from a probability to certainty, federally funded agencies and organizations in the Boston area prepared to close their doors or furlough employees Tuesday, a grim procedure that will probably have immediate repercussions for tourists and for some businesses and organizations around the region.

Heading into the final period of Wednesday night's tilt at the Falmouth Ice Arena, the Falmouth High School boys' ice hockey team had to feel like there was a force field around the other goal. Through the first five periods of the season the Clippers had yet to put a puck behind the goalie.
It's not like they hadn't had chances. FHS fired 26 shots on goal during the first two periods against Coyle and Cassidy and dominated every facet of the hockey game, except where it matters the most, on the scoreboard. C-C's Pat Dorsey scored the lone goal of the first 30 minutes of action, backhanding one past FHS goalie Jake Beaton (13 saves) on a breakaway at 9:21 of the second.
"That's what we were talking about. Who's going to crack the egg? We didn't score at B-R, and we didn't have any in the Hingham (scrimmage). You want to get comfortable and (Assistant Coach) John (Turner) said it between periods, 'when we get one they're going to come in floods,' because we absolutely dominated that game," Falmouth Head Coach Paul Moore said.
It seems that Coach Turner is a bit of a soothsayer. With senior captain Robbie Souza leading the way, Falmouth scored early in the third and liked the feeling so much that they went on to add three more after that to defeat the visitors by a 4-2 score. Souza secured a hat trick in the third period for FHS and Arlin Moore had the other Clippers' lamp-lighter.
For Coach Moore, the victory is the first of his career as the top man in the FHS program. He was clearly energized following the game and could not contain his excitement. "I'm so proud of these guys that worked so hard. They deserved that. It was 45 minutes, and they battled…they never quit, and that's the sign of a good team," he said. "The way they did it, coming from behind, they just didn't let up. I thought we did a good job in all three zones tonight and we just didn't give up."
Souza's first of the night came at the 4:20 mark of the third, knotting things up at 1-1. A shot from the right side whistled behind the net and came out to Andrew Parkinson, whose shot was deflected by the Warriors. Souza collected the puck in front and roofed it to make it a 1-1 game.
Less than two minutes later Arlin Moore gave FHS the lead, 2-1, with a power play goal. Freshman defenseman Cam Tobey flung a wrist shot off the left wing wall toward the net and Moore redirected it by the goalie to give FHS its' first lead of the year.
The lead didn't last long. Coyle and Cassidy came back to tie it up on a one-timer from the doorstep just 90 seconds later. Connor Flynn picked up the goal for the visitors.
At crunch time, Souza came through for FHS, scoring twice in a span of just seven seconds to make it 4-2. With the teams skating four aside, Mike Gage corralled the puck in the right wing corner and skated it behind the cage, coming out the other side. Gage fluttered a pretty pass across the goal mouth to the far side post where Souza put it home to regain the lead.
The senior then completed his hat trick with a highlight reel-worthy goal. With the Warriors still hanging their collective heads, Souza won the ensuing draw and sprinted up the ice, lifting a pretty backhander over the goalie just seven seconds after the previous goal.

For Souza, the third period output of goals matches his entire total for his junior season. He finished last year with three goals, and six assists.
"He put the team on his back, that's leadership, and that's what we're looking for," Moore said.
FHS will look to make it two in a row when they hit the road tomorrow night and visit Charles Moore Arena in Orleans to face Nauset. Game time is set for 7 PM. NHS dropped its opener to Marshfield at home on Wednesday, 8-1.

Rotavirus is a common virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea, especially in infants and young children. Childcare centers are a common site of outbreaks.
The vaccine, which is a liquid given by mouth, is recommended at ages 2 and 4 months, and again at 6 months, depending on the brand of vaccine used.
Rotavirus can cause severe diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and, for some kids, hospitalization. Vaccination against rotavirus can help stop spread in the community, in addition to protecting the individual child.
Side effects can include diarrhea and vomiting, in addition to fever.
The vaccine is not recommended if your child:
Let the doctor know if your child has an allergy to latex, since one of the rotavirus vaccine brands has a latex applicator.
Talk to your doctor about whether it's a good idea for your child to be vaccinated if he or she:
Your doctor may determine that the benefits of vaccinating your child outweigh the potential risks.
Depending on your child's age, fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your doctor to see if you can give either medication and to find out the appropriate dose.
If vomiting or diarrhea occur, give your child small, frequent amounts of fluid and watch for signs of dehydration, such as less urine (pee) than usual.
Rarely, some kids will develop intussusception within a week of getting the first dose of the vaccine. So after the first dose, watch for signs of intussusception, which can include periods of intense abdominal pain with uncontrollable crying; vomiting; blood or mucus in the poop; and seeming weak, drowsy, or fussy.

The Phillies have won four of five to start the month of May and they have their pitching to thank. In three of the five games the Phils have held their opponent to a run or less. There's every reason to expect the excellence to continue as they send Roy Halladay to the mound this afternoon.
Kyle Kendrick was the latest Phillies pitcher to twirl a gem. He went seven shutout innings last night as the Phils banked the Cards.
The Phillies are 16-11 after a 4-0 win against the St Louis Cardinals last night. The Phils have won two of three so far in the four-game set.
Kendrick got the start for the Phils and went seven shutout innings, allowing six hits and two walks. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, both doubles. He struck out three. Fantastic outing for Kendrick. Lefties are still pounding him for the year overall, though, to the tune of 333/415/614. Righties are hitting just .250 and on-basing .300, but with a .531 slugging percentage as four of the 70 righties he has faced have homered. He's made two great starts in which he's thrown 15 scoreless innings. In his other four starts he's allowed 20 runs in 15 2/3 innings.
He walked Albert Pujols with two outs in the first, but Matt Holliday lined to Victorino behind him.
Colby Rasmus doubled to right to start the second. David Freese followed with a ground out to Castro for the first out with Rasmus holding second. With Yadier Molina batting, Rasmus was caught stealing third on a close play for the second out. It cost the Cards a run, too, cause Molina doubled to left and was left stranded when the pitcher Brad Penny grounded to short for the third out.
Rasmus was probably safe.
Kendrick set the Cards down in order in the third. Brendan Ryan led off with a ground ball to second. Utley made a very nice play and got the call as Ryan slid into first head first.
Ryan was definitely safe.
Pujols started the fourth with a single. Kendrick struck Holliday out swinging for the first out. Rasmus followed and he grounded out to second with Pujols moving to second. A balk by Kendrick moved Pujols to third before David Freese drew a walk. It put men on first and third for Molina and Molina lined to Werth in right to leave both men stranded.
Schumaker singled with two outs in the fifth, but Rasmus grounded to third for the third out.
Kendrick threw a 1-2-3 sixth.
Freese started the seventh with a single. Molina flew out to right behind him. Lefty Jon Jay hit for Penny and hit a ball out in front of the plate. Schneider got to it, but threw the ball away for an error that put men on first and third with one out for Ryan. Kendrick got Ryan to hit into a double-play to turn St Louis away.
Ryan is having a rather brutal series, called out when he was safe in the second and hitting into a key double-play in the seventh after Lidge struck him out in a key spot late in game two.
Baez threw a 1-2-3 eighth with the Phillies up 4-0 after Dobbs hit for Kendrick in the bottom of the seventh and drove in a run with a double.
That's two good outings in a row for Baez over which he hasn't allowed a hit or a walk in two innings.
Contreras pitched the ninth and looked fantastic yet again, setting Holliday, Rasmus and Freese down in order. He has a 1.04 ERA through ten appearances and still hasn't walked a batter this season. He's struck out 14 in 8 2/3 innings.
Contreras was pitching for the second day in a row. He threw 17 pitches after throwing 16 on Tuesday. Baez threw 15 pitches in the game.
The Phillies lineup against righty Brad Penny went (1) Victorino (2) Polanco (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Werth (6) Ibanez (7) Castro (8) Schneider. The lefty Schneider gets a start behind the plate with a righty on the mound for St Louis.
The Phillies didn't have a base runner in the first three innings. Polanco hit the ball well in the first, but Schumaker made the play at second to turn him away.
Victorino had the first hit of the game for the Phils, a soft line drive into center to start the fourth. Polanco was next and after Penny made a couple of throws to first he hit Penny's first pitch to him out to left center to put the Phillies up 2-0. After Utley flew to right for the first out, Howard reached on an infield single. He was left stranded when Werth struck out and Ibanez flew to right.
You have to wonder how much Penny was worried about Victorino on first when Polanco hit his ball out. It was Polanco's fourth home run of the season, putting him on pace to hit 24. He has hit 15 home runs or more in a season only once — in 2004 he hit 17 for the Phillies.
The Phillies went in order in the fifth.
Victorino led off the sixth with a home run to left, putting the Phils up 3-0. Utley singled with one out, but Howard and Werth struck out behind him.
Victorino is on pace to hit 36 home runs this year. He has more home runs than Howard (5) and more than Werth (4) and Ibanez (1) combined.
With one out in the seventh, Castro hit a ground ball to short and hurt his left hamstring running to first. He was safe with a single, but had to leave the game. Wilson Valdez ran for him at first. Schneider flew to left for the second out and with the righty Mitchell Boggs on the mound for St Louis, Dobbs hit for Kendrick. Dobbs delivered a RBI-double with Valdez scoring to put the Phillies on top 4-0. Victorino lined to right to end the inning.
Utley walked with one out in the eighth, but Howard hit into a double-play behind him.
Victorino was 2-for-4 with a home run.
Polanco 1-for-4 with a two-run homer. Top two in the order drive in three of the four Phillies runs.
Utley was 1-for-3 with a walk.
Howard 1-for-4 with a strikeout.
Werth 0-for-3 and struck out three times, dropping his average on the year to .337.
Ibanez 0-for-3.
Castro was 1-for-3 and replaced by Valdez at short.
Schneider 0-for-3 with an error. He's 2-for-17 on the season.
Halladay (5-1, 1.47) and former Phil Kyle Lohse (0-1, 5.28) this afternoon in the final game of the four-game set.
Phillies Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts died this morning at age 83. Roberts was an All-Star for the Phillies seven years in a row from 1950 to 1956. He allowed two runs in 11 innings in the 1950 World Series as the Yanks topped the Phils four games to none. In 1952 he finished second in voting for NL MVP, nipped by Cubs outfielder Hank Sauer. Roberts went 28-7 with a 2.59 ERA that year, which was the third best ERA mark in the league.
The Phillies have reviewed their approach to dealing with fans running on the field in the wake of the use of a taser on a fan earlier this week.
