Terminal operator TraPac Inc, a subsidiary of Mitsui OSK (MOL), which handles freight for members of the New World Alliance, is to become the first automated container terminal on the US west coast. The Port of Los Angeles has confirmed that automated straddle carriers would be operational this year, as part of an expansion plan aimed at dealing with megaships.

The 15 container lines members of the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (TSA) have recommended a general rate increase of US$300 per feu, effective from 15 March 2012. It is the second rate increase this year and a further one of at least $500 per feu is planned for May, as shipping lines are trying to bring the freight rates closer to their 2011 levels. Fuel prices have gone up since January and the market is still uncertain. Last year's carriers fight to secure the market share brought them huge losses, about $11.4 billion, according to the Danish consultancy firm SeaIntel Maritime.

Spot rates on Asia to Europe and the Middle East trades have jumped by almost 75 per cent over the last week, pushing the Shanghai Containerised Freight Index up 19.1 per cent to 1163.96. The World Container Index, a joint venture between Drewry and Cleartrade Exchange, indicated a surge of 114 per cent for westbound freight rates from Asia. This is a consequence of a general lift in rates announced by many carriers, and some of them are considering further hikes to be implemented in April. However, a deployment of larger tonnage could increase the pressure on cargo rates in the near future.

The company's volumes hit 10 million teu, up 11 per cent compared to 2010.

Maersk Line, the world's largest carrier, expects another difficult year after losing $537 million in 2011, in spite of an 11 per cent surge in volumes to 8.1 million feu and a five per cent increase to $25.1 billion in revenues. The box line said high fuel costs, lower rates and oversupply had a negative effect on profitability. Maersk Tankers, the third largest tanker in the world, made a $151 million loss in 2011, about $33 million worse than in 2010. On the other hand, the group's container handling division, APM Terminals handled 33.5 million teu, eight per cent more than in 2010, and posted a $649 million profit, a 24 per cent annual surge.

Freight rate environment and fears of oversupply have made Danish giant Maersk Line to announce a nine per cent reduction of its 850,000 teu capacity on Asia to Europe trades. The company is committed to cut costs and keep its market share, and hopes its vessel sharing agreement with French carrier CMA CGM the Asia-west Mediterranean trades would benefit both shipping lines. Maersk has recently given up its option for a further ten mega-ships with capacity of 18,000 teu. In addition to lay-ups and slow steaming, Maersk is to introduce a rate increase of $775 per teu in the Asia to north Europe and Mediterranean routes.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that President Obama has been playing "Lucy and the Football" with the fiscal cliff talks because he wants to raise taxes on the middle class without taking the political heat for the policy change.
"They've been playing Lucy and the Football with the American people for months,"McConnell said of Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during a speech on the Senate floor. "They've said no to every single proposal that's been offered to avoid this tax hike — including their own. They're running out the clock."
McConnell explained why Obama, according to his thinking, is being so intransigent about the fiscal cliff. "Because the only way to pay for the big government this President wants is by raising taxes on everybody — the super-rich, the rich, middle class, lower class, you name it," he said.
"If all you do is whack the so-called rich, you only get enough money about a week of government. So let's be clear about something: he wants to soak everybody," McConnell continued. That's the only way to do it. And that is exactly what he gets if we do nothing. If that wasn't obvious before this week, it should be perfectly obvious now.

It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of the expansive Toy Fair - unless your product is stop-in-your-tracks, jaw-droppingly gorgeous like the newly unveiled Emerson House dollhouse by Brinca Dada.
We had a chat with company co-founder Doug Rollins who is a big believer in "beautiful fun" - toys should be beautiful, but not museum pieces and should be played with and enjoyed by children and parents alike.
Emerson House is Brinca Dada's debut product and was designed by co-founder Tim Boyle who happily brings his talent as an architect to design on a smaller scale. Inspired by Richard Neutra's famed Kaufmann Desert House, Emerson is also bathed in natural light and features wide open spaces (which is especially useful for little hands to play in).
The Emerson House's description reads like a Times real estate ad we would drool over: the modern house features many extras including mitered-glass corners, two fireplaces, sliding glass doors, solar panels, and recessed LED lights. Now that's an Open House we'd attend!
The Emerson will be ready for sale in a few months and at $299 will be an investment piece, but certainly not unreachable. What else does Brinca Dada have in store? More dollhouse designs, furniture and, of course, dolls! Find out more at their website and we'll be sure to check back in with them now that they're on our "ones to watch" radar.

This is way better than my old doll house!
Gorgeous, yes. For me. My kids wouldnt play with that, because its not kid friendly in either color or design.
But I want it for me!
... 1950s 'modern'.
8 kids, boys & girls ages 3-9, played with it the entire time during product testing, well over an hour, and only stopped because the test ended.
The dolls look kinda creepy to me but I'd love to see how this house gets furnished. This is my dream dollhouse (for me!). My boys have the contemporary dollhouse from Plan Toys with the modern furniture set. What's their favorite piece of furniture in it? The toilet.
Gorgeous but they lost at "Made in China"
$500 for lead/cadimum-coated toys made by children for children? I don't think so.

I've had mine for about 10 years
By joshua
from Springfield, Missouri
and never had any problems as described by other reviewers. Mine starts right up, plenty of power, etc. My only issue is that no matter what bulb I place in the socket, it almost immediately burns out from the vibration... Yes, there is definitely some vibration but hey,k who needs a lamp (I don't know if an industrial bulb would last either).
I like it

Replaced my 30 year old grinder with this one. It runs smooth and strong. The light is very nice. Wish I had upgraded 10 years ago. I use it with buffing wheel and wire brush. Cannot beat the price either. Very handy to clean up copper hinges, old rusty bolts, or anything rusty.

For a six inch grinder you can't beat the price. It went together very easely. I had no problems with noise or vibration. Its not the most power full, but then its only a six inch grinder. It does everything I need it to do in my garage.

A Dartmouth woman has pled guilty to stealing more than a million dollars from an elderly New Bedford doctor.
68–year old Gloria Balestracci worked in the doctor's office as a manager for 13–years, when the doctor retired Balestracci was hired to help care for the elderly man but instead she forged his signature on checks that she cashed for her personal benefit.
Tuesday afternoon she was sentenced to two years in jail as well as 10-years of probation upon completion of her sentence for stealing more than $1.2 million dollars, which was nearly his entire life savings that he had earned working.
Balestracci was ordered to pay restitution in the full amount.

SAN certificates are great when you need to protect several websites with ssl. In a SAN certificate, the "Subject Alternative Name" is used for the different names you want to associate with the certificate.
One of the advantages of a SAN certificate, is that additional names can be added later. To get this accomplished, you need to generate a new CSR with al the existing names AND the new names in it! I use openssl to generate the CSR. To get SAN names in the CSR, you have to edit the openssl configuration file.
This example is based on cygwin.
1. edit \cygwin\usr\ssl\openssl.cnf
2. @line 121: uncomment req_extensions = v3_req
3. @line 211: under [ v3_req ], add the following:
## lines added to get SAN fields in CSR
# Some CAs do not yet support subjectAltName in CSRs.
# Instead the additional names are form entries on web
# pages where one requests the certificate…
subjectAltName = @alt_names
DNS.1 = www.example.com
DNS.2 = www.example2.com
DNS.3 = www.example3.com
You can check the newly created request to ensure that the SAN names are in it:
$ openssl req -text -noout -verify -in cert.req

One joy of visiting Kuching is the sheer number of potential excursions within the vicinity, including several worthy of an overnight stay. Within an hour's bus ride north are the beaches and resorts of the Santubong Peninsula, also known as Damai after the beach area at its tip. Nearby is the Sarawak Cultural Village, a showpiece community where model longhouses are staffed by guides from each ethnic group. Bako is the essential national park to visit nearby, but there's also decent trekking at Kubah National Park.
South of Kuching, the main attractions are the orang-utans at the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and the Bidayuh longhouse at Annah Rais. Sarawak's remote western edge draws a trickle of visitors who mainly head to the Gunung Gading National Park to see Rafflesia blooms, though the beaches at Sematan and near Lundu, and the stunning Tanjung Datu National Park, further west, are also worthwhile.
Gunung Penrissen
Gunung Penrissen
The most accessible mountain on the Sarawak/Kalimantan border, the spectacular 1300-metre-high GUNUNG PENRISSEN stands 5km west of Annah Rais. The Penrissen hike involves tough walking along narrow paths and crossing fast-flowing streams that descend from the source of the Sarawak River; vertical ladders help on the last section. As the trails aren't easy to follow, you must hire a guide. Some hikers opt to come with a Kuching-based tour operator (most don't advertise Penrissen but can arrange trips); some contact the Tourist Guide Association; and others try to find guides in Annah Rais. The last is a good option if you have your own car (there's no public transport), but don't just drive up and expect a guide to be available; contact Edward (t016 871 1957), one of the residents, in advance for help.
The Santubong Peninsula and Damai
The Santubong Peninsula and Damai
Cut off from Kuching by the Santubong River to the south, the Santubong Peninsula has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Excavation in the 1960s and 1970s found tens of thousands of artefacts, including digging implements, across six neighbouring sites; they dated back to 3000 BC, when the Indian/Javanese Empire extended here, though little of any ancient civilisation can be seen today.
Dominated by the 810-metre Gunung Santubong, the area is dotted with oddly shaped geological formations amid patches of thick forest. The mountain is actually a national park (though there are no facilities and no entrance fee to pay) and makes for a moderately taxing trek. It takes around four hours to reach the summit, with rope ladders to help where things get steep; one trail up is clearly signed next to the Green Paradise Café on the main road. However, most visitors prefer to venture out to the beaches of Damai, 35km from Kuching at the peninsula's northwest tip, or the excellent if pricey folk museum nearby, the Sarawak Cultural Village. Since the 1980s, stretches of the river and coastline have been developed as retreats for tourists and city-weary locals, though thankfully the resorts have left the tranquil, almost lonesome, nature of the area largely undisturbed. There are also two low-key villages, Buntal and Kampung Santubong.
Bako National Park
Bako National Park
East of the Santubong Peninsula, and no further away from Kuching, a second peninsula is occupied by the fabulous BAKO NATIONAL PARK, named for its location at the mouth of the Bako River. Sarawak's oldest national park (once a timber reserve, it attained its present, fully protected status in 1957), it's also among its most memorable. Its steep coastal cliffs, offering huge vistas over the South China Sea, are thrillingly different from the rest of the predominantly flat and muddy Sarawak coastline, and there are opportunities to spot proboscis monkeys, swim in jungle streams or at isolated sandy coves, and hike through terrain that takes in rainforest, mangrove and kerangas, with pitcher plants easily visible on some trails.
Bako is such a gem that trying to pack it all into one day is not ideal, though you can make a go of it if you set out early from Kuching and pay a boatman at the park to take you out to a remote beach, then walk back to the park headquarters; this gives you a good taste of the park without having to do a trek in both directions. A stay of at least one night is still preferable, though, and there's a range of accommodation to choose from, some newly built.
Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
The first forest reserve in the state, the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre was set aside by Vyner Brooke in 1920. Today it's a sort of open zoo in a surviving pocket of forest, where tourists flock to watch orang-utans being fed fruit by rangers, who have names for all of them. How many you're likely to see will depend on the time of year – when wild fruits are in season, fewer orang-utans emerge from the forest to seek out the rangers.
Most of the action takes place at a clearing, with seating close by, reached by a short jungle trail from the car park. Don't be surprised if you see the critters roaming around the car park itself – and give them a wide berth if you do. Look out also for orang-utan nests, which they build in the treetops using clumps of leaves and branches, for sleeping.
The caves of Bau
The caves of Bau
Nineteenth-century prospectors were drawn to BAU, half an hour's drive southwest of Kuching, by the gold that veined the surrounding countryside, but the modern-day market town is mundane in the extreme, though it does have a picturesque mining lake, Blue Lake, on its southwestern edge. Pretty though the lake is, it contains arsenic and is unsafe to swim in; the main reason to come to Bau is to visit the two nearby caves, around 4km apart to the west. If you have to pick one of the two – which you may well have to do if relying on public transport – go to the larger, Fairy Cave. Steps inside enable you to wander through the gloom towards a gaping maw at one end of the system, which lets in refreshing breezes and enough light for the cave floor to be blanketed in ferns and moss. Wind Cave meanders through a rocky outcrop on the banks of one branch of the Sarawak river system, and again steps and planks make it possible to wander from one side of the outcrop to the other.
Spotting Santubong wildlife
Spotting Santubong wildlife
The mouth of the Santubong River is a promising spot to see the rare Irrawaddy dolphin. With a rounded snout rather than a beak, these marine mammals live in brackish coastal waters and river deltas, as well as in fresh water further upriver – for example, along the Mekong in Indochina, where the population is dwindling. In fact the dolphin is considered vulnerable in many habitats due to human activity – they may get snared in nets or see their range whittled away by barrages, for example.
Several tour operators can take you on dolphin-spotting cruises, though the specialist is CPH Travel, which has its own launch.
The Rainforest Music Festival
The Rainforest Music Festival
Since 1998, the Sarawak Culture Village has been home to the annual Rainforest Music Festival (wrwmf.net), now usually held during the second weekend of July. It would be hard to find a more appropriate and evocative setting for a major world music event, with the Village's beautiful tribal homes not far from the stages and Gunung Santubong the perfect backdrop.
While the event attracts performers from across the globe, it's especially worthwhile for the opportunity to watch indigenous Bornean musicians – some of whom can seem decidedly exotic even to city-dwelling Sarawakian youth, never mind audiences from further afield. With some noted performers having died since the festival was first staged, the sense that many traditions are living on borrowed time makes the chance to glimpse sape players (pronounced sup-ay, the sape is the Orang Ulu lute, shaped like a longboat), gong ensembles, and the like that much more valuable (especially if you catch them in the intimate confines of a workshop). Favourites have included Tuku Kame, led by the flautist (and head of the Village's Heritage Resource Centre), Narawi Rashidi, and featuring charismatic electric sape player Jerry Kamit. Beds are hard to come by in Damai and Kuching over the period, so book accommodation early.
Visiting Sarawak's national parks
Visiting Sarawak's national parks
Sarawak's two dozen or so national parks vary enormously, not just in terms of terrain and habitats – some boast accommodation for various budgets, well-marked trails and other amenities, while many others have nothing more than a ranger post and require a minor expedition to reach. All are managed by the state-owned Sarawak Forestry Corporation (wsarawakforestry.com) with the notable exception of Mulu, where tourist facilities have been privatized. You can pick up information about park conditions and accommodation at Sarawak Forestry's downtown offices in Kuching and Miri. Informal accommodation bookings can be made by calling the park concerned, while the Kuching office can confirm reservations – with payment up front.
A park permit costs RM10, and an RM40 pass valid for five visits (or one visit by a group of five) is also available. Those park offices that exist are open between 8am and 5pm (sometimes with a 1–2pm lunch break), so aim to arrive during these times. Guides can be engaged at just a few parks for around RM80 per day, though they may well not speak good English. Contact knowledgeable, licensed guides for parks in the Kuching area through the Tourist Guide Association.

The HIV/AIDS Crisis
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is often thought to affect only the most poverty-stricken areas of the developing world. However, in reality, the disease knows no socioeconomic or geographical boundaries. AFT members from regions across the country face the challenges of HIV/AIDS just like their foreign counterparts.
AIDS kills. Once infected with HIV, an individual may follow certain strategies and treatments for managing AIDS and AIDS-related diseases, but, in the end, AIDS kills. There is no vaccine to prevent the infection and no treatment to cure it.
The key to preventing HIV/AIDS is education. Education about how the virus is transmitted, behavior that puts a person at risk and the need to have periodic HIV tests to determine infection status can make the difference between life and death. Learning about these topics is at the heart of healthy living and preventing the spread of the infection.
AFT-Africa AIDS Campaign
When teacher unions in Africa found that AIDS was decimating their ranks and destabilizing schools and communities, they called on the AFT for help. AFT members responded with the solidarity for which they are known, contributing generously to the AFT-Africa AIDS Campaign. Through their support, AIDS prevention education initiatives were launched in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Swaziland and South Africa.
Working with African union partners, AFT leadership has successfully attracted financial support from the U. S. government for programming in Africa. The union is currently involved in soliciting more government support for project activities in the U.S.
Only with integrated, comprehensive global education can we counterattack the HIV/AIDS crisis. AFT executive vice president Lorretta Johnson, meeting with African union delegations at the 2008 AFT convention, said, "We need you as much as you need us — we must work hand in hand. While we appreciate the financial support of all of our governments in our efforts to fight AIDS, we as teachers know that we need to learn from each other about what has worked and has not worked in our classrooms, in our schools, in our communities …. This is a plague that can destroy our education systems. For those most in need, who have no alternative, we must work together."
AIDS Education in the U.S.
Education about HIV/AIDS, both in the union hall and in the classroom, has been the AFT's goal since the disease was first documented in the 1980s. The union has invested resources into educating its members about the risks of HIV and promoting early detection and treatment to prevent the spread of AIDS. It has supported and assisted in the development of curricula to educate public school students and staff about the transmission, prevention and treatment of the infection, and it helped to formulate the Blood-borne Pathogen Standard adopted by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Connecting Students around the Globe
Following Johnson's call to action, AFT vice president Laura Rico linked the faculty and students of Artesia High School in California's ABC School District with the faculty and students at Manenberg High School in Cape Town, South Africa, in an HIV/AIDS awareness education project.
In October 2009, Rico and Sergio Garcia, the principal of Artesia High, went to Cape Town to launch the project at Manenberg High. The project aims to start dialogue among young people. Students learn from each other using e-mail for firsthand research on the impact of AIDS in their communities and discuss together what they are doing to prevent the spread of the deadly disease. Included in the project will be student exchanges for site visits to each other's schools and community education centers.

A.Rex Cauldwell responds: Whether or not this
is an acceptable wiring scheme depends on where the wire
Partially switched receptacle. Three-conductor
wire has two hots — black and red — and a white
neutral. Though normally used for three-way switching,
three-conductor wire is commonly used for duplex receptacle
wiring as well. For a partially switched receptacle, for
example, you would break off the tab on the brass side of the
receptacle. The black and red wires are then connected to the
now independent brass screws, one wire to each; it makes no
difference which wire is on which screw. The neutral side of
the receptacle is left intact. This makes the top of the duplex
receptacle independent from the bottom, while they both share
the same neutral (see Figure 1). The black or the red can go to
a permanently hot feed, while the other goes to a wall switch,
creating a switched outlet. This layout works well for
switching on a table lamp in a room with no overhead lighting,
but it doesn't require heavy 10-gauge wire.
If you find a red wire and a black wire from the same
three-wire cable coming into the panel, then going to separate
single-pole breakers, you'll need to check the
installation. This scenario isn't automatically wrong,
but to be safe I would assume it was until I traced the wiring
back from the panel. It could be one of several different
things, but it's usually a multiwire circuit or a
220-volt circuit.
Multiwire circuits. Three-conductor wire can
be used to power a single circuit that would otherwise require
two 2-wire circuits. For example, the black might feed a line
of receptacles, while the red feeds a line of recessed light
fixtures in the same area. The white is common to both (Figure
2). If the loads on each wire are nearly balanced, the neutral
wire carries only the unbalanced current, resulting in less of
a voltage drop and wattage loss than the two 2-wire circuits
would have. In this situation, the black and the red
must be connected to the opposite phases in the panel to
prevent overloading the neutral (white) wire.
This type of wiring is called a multiwire branch circuit.
Though common in many areas, I do not recommend it. This system
is governed by specific code regulations. A multiwire branch
circuit must be able to disconnect both phases (that is, both
branches) at one throw of the breaker. Therefore, these
circuits must be ganged together. If someone does split
the branches apart, and they both lead to the same phase on the
panel, the neutral currents would be added together. Such an
overload could have disastrous results. In addition, the
receptacles, switches, and other devices on multiwire branch
circuits must always be pigtailed, as shown in Figure 2,
on page 14. This is done to ensure that the neutral is not
interrupted by a poor mechanical connection on the device (a
wirenut is a much more reliable connection). Because of these
requirements and the problems associated with multiwire
circuits, my advice is not to use them for residential wiring
where do-it-yourselfers are likely to muck around with
220-volt circuits. A similar scheme (red and
black to opposite phases of the panel) is often used by
do-it-yourselfers to power electric baseboard heaters or some
other 220-volt circuit. But do-it-yourselfers often don't
know to use a double-pole breaker or don't remember to
connect the tabs between the breaker handles. This might also
explain the 10-gauge wire: Someone incorrectly assumed the
heaters needed the heavier wire. Do-it-yourselfers often
don't know that the breaker protects the wiring.
It would be impossible to list every conceivable situation,
correct or incorrect, that you might have found. The bottom
line is: Trace the wires. See where they're going and
what they're connected to. Or throw the breakers and see
what doesn't work. Then trace it down.

When Wesley Cox stepped foot on the campus of the Pinellas Technical Education Center in Largo, police said studying was far from his mind.
"For what appears to be no reason at all, began beating on the teacher of the class," said Pinellas School's Police Chief Rick Stelljes.
Chief Stelljes said Cox had a wooden baseball bat and targeted a computer teacher.
FOX 13 learned that teacher was James Humphrey. When another student stepped in to help, police said Cox kept swinging and was finally stopped by students and the school resource officer.
"He was actually just making irrational statements through most of this incident and after," he said.
Humphrey and one of the students were taken to the hospital and should be okay. None of the students we spoke to on campus had heard about the attack.
Considering its violent nature, they believe they should have been told.
"No one came over the announcements. No one came to our class to let us know about it or anything," said one student who didn't want to be identified.
The chief said students didn't need to know about this attack.
"If the administration or the police department felt there was a continued danger, we certainly would have sent that message," he said.
But, he said, safety is the responsibility of everyone on campus.
"The type of school that PTECH is allows for the students to come and go. The safety plan calls for everyone to keep an eye out, and the [School Resource Officer] is right there to respond and take action," said Chief Stelljes.
Cox is behind bars and charged with two counts of aggravated battery. He is also now banned from the campus as some students think twice about their own safety.

(Reuters) - American International Group Inc
AIG said on Tuesday that Donna DeMaio would become CEO of United Guaranty, which has become a core unit for the company in the wake of its post-bailout restructuring.
DeMaio joined United Guaranty in May as chief operating officer after seven years as chief executive of MetLife Bank, a unit of MetLife Inc
Kim Garland, who had run United Guaranty since last February, will become chief underwriting officer for the global consumer business in AIG's property insurance unit. Garland spent most of his career working in personal insurance before joining the mortgage insurer in 2009.
United Guaranty was once seen as a secondary business for AIG, but as competitors faltered due to crisis-era losses, UGC emerged as one of the strongest companies in the industry.
Senior AIG management have said owning UGC gives them an advantage when investing in mortgage-backed securities because of the market view they get from owning a mortgage insurer.
Garland became the head of UGC in February after his predecessor, Eric Martinez, was named to a new role in the property insurance business overseeing claims and operations.
AIG shares were up 0.8 percent in late trading to $33.38.

GREEN BAY, WI (WHBL) - The Green Bay Packers signed free agent running back Cedric Benson to a one-year contract on Sunday, reportedly for the veterans' minimum of 850-thousand dollars. The move was rumored all weekend, as Green Bay's other rushers struggle with injuries. But according to the National Football Post, the Packers insisted they would not pay a bonus or any other guaranteed money to Benson – and they got their wish. It does not appear that Benson will be ready to play on Thursday night, when the Packers host Cleveland in an exhibition. Under the new collective bargaining agreement, he cannot practice in full pads until his third session – and the Packers will only practice twice more this week. Benson, a seven-year veteran, has averaged just under 300 carries a year in his last three seasons with Cincinnati without missing a game due to injury. He averaged almost four yards a carry in 2011. But Benson only had six carries of 20-or-more yards the past two seasons. He fumbled a dozen times, losing seven. And he's been arrested four times during his pro career – twice for misdemeanor assault and twice for alcohol offenses. Benson spent five days in jail and was suspended for a game after his last offense a year ago when he punched an ex-teammate. The Bengals did not invite him to training camp this year.

A chill wind blows onto your TV screen as summer beckons, with one last ghoulish chapter in the artful and macabre saga of NBC's Hannibal, Bryan Fuller's deliciously suspenseful and deeply unsettling twist on the Thomas Harris franchise. If we weren't in a boom time for quality drama featuring such an array of complex, morally ambiguous and compellingly portrayed male leads, the performances of Hugh Dancy as the psychologically broken profiler-for-the-FBI Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as his mentor/secret tormentor Hannibal Lecter would be slam-dunk Emmy bait.

The bishop's ring
One evening two years ago, Bishop Agustín Román limited his supper to a handful of grapes. Urged by Father Fabio Arango to eat a healthy diet he answered that he felt no appetite. As was his custom, he helped his fellow priest wash and dry the dishes at the rectory. Then it was time for him to teach the evening catechism classes at the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity, a routine that he had carried out with apostolic zeal since 1968.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I recently visited the school and have to say this school's principal and staff are amazing. Our child currently attends one of the 'best' private schools in this great city, but I have to say that pride, resources and community behind this school were impressive. The auditorium and technology in the school are so well equipped, it exceeded all the private schools we visisted The only question is student ratio, however, glad the parent body supports teaching aides in each classroom.
A kindergarten child was just lost and left unattended in the school and walked out to his home block away lucky his parents where home . (Just like avonte) Please talk to your children and the board of education has a lot of explaining to do.
This is the IKEA of public schools. It is clean and shiny and has many, many options to choose from. On the other hand, it is huge, can be impersonal, is always asking for money and you'll have navigate much of your experience on your own. This elementary school feels like a college. On the plus side, the academics are solid. My son is pretty smart, and he's constantly challenged by both the volume and level of class work and homework. There are many "electives," from after-school clubs and chess to track and chorus. The kids also get science, technology and drama. On the minus side, it is huge - 600 kids over seven floors and two lower levels. I could see how a young child might be intimidated. Also, the size makes it seem under-staffed, and you really have to push to get personal attention. For example, there is only ONE parent coordinator for 600 families, so you'd better make friends with her if you want to know the inside scoop on things. Also, be prepared to pay up: the PTA is always asking for money or holding fundraisers. It would be good to have more info on where that money goes.
My daughter began Kindergarten at PS59 this year and I can verify that the hype is justified! This school is incredible. Highly involved parents, very generously funded PTA, dedicated staff, a welcoming family feel, and incredible extracurricular as well as regular day specialty offerings. The children I encounter in the halls, of all grade levels, all seem to be very happy with smiling faces and terrific manners! It is very endearing to consistently see the older kids stopping to hold doors open for me (I'm pregnant) and my Kindergartener. It is no surprise why this is the most sought after school zone to get into! Oh, and the brand new building on 56th is wonderful.
The school is fantastic! Amazing staff, facility, PTA, and after-school programs. We feel very blessed to have our son in this school and he LOVES it!
We have two sons in 59 and we can testify it has been just fantastic for us. We have been here for a year now and were very lucky as we arrived in time to benefit from the schools move into its brand new building. Our eldest joined in 1st grade and was a year behind after moving from out of state, the reading recovery program, along with the early bird support program means he is catching up to his peers much quicker than I thought possible. Our youngest is in Kindergarten and loves it. They both don't want to leave every evening! The PTA is amazing, very energized and manage to fund classroom assistants for most if not every k and yr1 classroom. I am not aware of a single negative issue at this school, and I am including feedback from all other parents I have spoken to as well - Cannot recommend enough!!!!!
My son is in 1st grade and we have had a wonderful experience since his kindergarten year. His teachers have been excellent and are extremely responsive and accessible. The emphasis on reading and writing little stories starting in kindergarten is impressive. The parent body is very nice and down to earth and the PTA is very active and involved. I wish the science program was more robust and I'm hopeful that it will happen once we move into our new facility in Sept 2012. There are so many benefits of a neighborhood school that cannot be replicated in a g&t or independent school setting. Its so nice to walk around our community and recognize the other children and families from our school. It creates a sense of community in a very big city that is really heartwarming.
Teachers are excellent, Principal and her Assistant are great, PTA is taking care of everything happening at school.
The teachers and staff at this school are amazing. Our daughter has received an excellent level of attention in her kidergarten class and left school this year reading at almost a second grade level. The teachers are all very communicative with parents, and very helpful with respect to pointing out weaknesses and areas of strength for your child. The administration of the school is phenomenal, and and very inspirational to the kids (and me as a parent). It is perhaps the most well maintained school facility I have been in, public or private. We decided to keep our daughter in this school over moving her in the G&T program.
The teachers know our kids very well and know how to teach them, they have been very helpful in giving extra challenging work when appropriate. Admin is very focused, rightly so, on what is best for the kids; they could be better at giving advance notice of meetings/ events so that parents can plan. PTA is very active and raises money for many extra programs/ assistant teachers which are critical to the school's success.
It is the greatest school ib the world with the best teachers,staff and students.
The school is new and conforms to the new Green standard that all schools in the future will be built on. Our teachers and facilities are 2nd to none. Our PTA is wonderful. And my son loves going to school. Why? 'Cuz it's fun.
Because they welcomed so greatfully my kids that just arrived from France and did not speak any word of English at this time.
I love Beekman Hill because of the incredible teachers, staff and the PTA. The teachers are amazing. Teaching is a passion for them not just a job. My girls love going to school everyday and are developing well in their academics. The teachers are always willing to meet and listen to my ideas or concerns regarding my girls. The entire staff is always helpful and friendly. And of course the PTA folks are always willing and able in helping the school, parents, and students in anyway they can. The school operates efficiently as a result.
We love P.S. 59 because our teachers are loving and truly concerned about our children's growth and education. Also, P.S. 59 is a beautiful new school. The first 'Green School' in the state on NY! Go GREEN!
It truely is more than a school where a sense of community and inclusivity are paramount. My child loves it here and I see her reach her full potential!
It is a wonderful neighborhood school that empowers our children to be curious and be excited about learning
It is a dynamic school that embraces all its students and their families and encourages growth and learning to each child's fullest potential.
Wonderful teachers; a supportive, active and very present principal. This is the perfect spot for my daughter and our 3rd year at the school. A wonderful school with wonderful teachers and staff.
Rich multi cultural student body present, and talented staff and suportive principle. My kids love going to school at PS 59!

Giving Back in Many Ways
Sheila Murray
"It had always been in the back of my mind that I would get involved with Queen's."
Sheila Murray's words are ones you hear repeated by many Queen's graduates. They feel the university made an impact in their lives, and want to give back. Not just financially but in other ways, as well.
But for Murray, as for many alumni, the demands of career or family meant that it simply wasn't possible. Murray, a Commerce ('79) and Law graduate ('82), was further constrained by the fact that, as the individual responsible for hiring new lawyers for her firm, she couldn't show Queen's any particular preference.
A change in jobs and a meeting with law school dean Bill Flanagan changed all that. "I really loved what he told me about the school, what he changed there since I'd been there and his vision of the school."
For anyone eager to get involved with Queen's but afraid they may never have the chance, Murray's story is an inspiration. Today, just five short years later, she is the chair of the Dean's Council, the advisory body that advises the law school on strategic issues, serves as a sounding board for the dean, and undertakes fundraising. She also serves on the cabinet for the Initiative Campaign. As a donor, Murray has supported both the David Mullan Entrance Scholarship and the school's new Centre for Law in the Contemporary Workplace, which she calls, "a fantastic idea and something that distinguishes Queen's from other schools."
For Murray, doing work for Queen's just feels right.
I think we all feel – or we should all feel – that the education we got, whether undergraduate or post grad, is the basis of our success today. I owe them.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Analyzing the Unexpected
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The only thing worse than being wrong is not knowing why you were wrong, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday as he looked into why the horrible quarter projected by FedEx (FDX) did not send the markets lower, as he expected.
Cramer said that no company touches as many businesses and consumers as FedEx, so when the company fell short on its numbers, he expected the markets to be obliterated. As Cramer's said many times, the transports can either confirm or disprove a broader rally, since just about all of our economic output must then be shipped to businesses and consumers.So what went wrong? Why didn't the markets react as expected? Cramer identified four things he missed. First, Cramer said that shares of FedEx only fell 2% on the news, even though this was the company's first bad quarter in three years. He said investors were clearly thinking that if the European Central Bank has positive things to say about the debacle in Europe later this week, FedEx will be the first company to benefit from a pickup in economic activity. Second, Cramer said the FedEx news really wasn't that much of a shocker, especially since rival UPS (UPS) had pretty much the same sentiment when it last reported. The FedEx news, it turns out, really wasn't news at all. Third, Cramer noted that the transports, while important, aren't the only market indicator he follows. The iPath Dow Jones Copper ETF (JJC), a barometer for economic activity, and the Currency Shares Euro Trust (FXE), a gauge of Europe, were both in the green all day. Finally, Cramer said there are simply enough positive things happening here at home, such as strong housing and auto sales, that perhaps the bad news out of FedEx just didn't matter as much as expected. The FedEx news is, after all, looking in the rear-view mirror, while all of the positives we're seeing are harbingers of the future. So the next time you make a prediction about the markets and it doesn't some true, make sure you analyze why or it'll surely happen to you again.
