Experience at SAIC
The experience of being in a collegial atmosphere with a diversity of approaches, strategies, and ideas is not to be underrated.
Personal Statement
My various works as a visual artist are related by my interest in social dynamics.
Much recent work puzzles the social impact of representations of women in the commercial media. These paintings reflect the shaping of personal narratives/ identities being forged out of, and based on, the push/ pull of desire/ allure. The poses, postures, surface treatments, and selectively enhanced/diminished proportions are archetypes, ubiquitous in the media, and out of reach in their flawless manufacture.
Have current views of beauty, so thoroughly conflated with notions of desire, power, lifestyle, and celebrity- distracted the construction of our personal narratives? Might we, to various degrees, embrace our own objectification?
My appropriation and re-arrangements of these "product" images, echoes their ubiquitous presence and growing function as icons of desire. The cult of the individual has become the cult of emulation.
In a different direction, the series "Groundwork", represents my ongoing interest in abstraction within a post-modern framework. In contrast to the self contained formalism of modernism I focus on prosaic, schematic patterns of formal appeal that operate simultaneously as social signifiers.
Current Interests
Thinking about the impact of the media on the social landscape.
Disclaimer: All work represents the views of the INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS & AUTHORS who created them, and are not those of the school or museum of the Art Institute.

Jonathan M. "Jon" Lovitz, 52
How We Were First Introduced:
Lovitz first starred on 'The Paper Chase,' a TV Series about a group of young people as they navigated law school. He attended Harvard School and studied theater at the University of California at Irvine and later became a member of The Groundlings comedy troupe, along with another SNL alum – and good friend – Phil Hartman.
Claim To Fame:
"Yeah, that's the ticket!" and various other obnoxious phrases that seemed perfectly suited for the actor, who seemed to have a knack for playing creepy.
That's The Ticket To Stardom:
Lovitz was best known for playing numerous popular characters, the biggest one being "Tommy Flanagan, The Pathological Liar" whose catchphrase "Yeah! That's the ticket!" caught on during the 1970's pop culture landscape like wildfire. Other characters include Master Thespian, Tonto, Mephistopheles, and Michael Dukakis. Lovitz was also once paired with William Shatner, as a virgin Trekkie who had never gotten laid. Hannukkah Harry was also one of Lovitz' more infamous roles. He was man who lived in Mount Sinai and traveled the world atop a cart carried by donkeys, handing out bland gifts to Jewish children. He was a stand-in for Santa when the old man wasn't around to do his job.

Personal Life:
Lovitz is currently divorced, but rumored to be dating Janie Dickinson.
Why he left SNL:
Towards the later part of his time on SNL, Jon began getting film roles, so he left the show.
Two Comedians Walk Into A Bar…And Punch Each Other Out:
Jon made headlines in 2007 when it was reported that he beat up fellow comedian Andy Dick. Lovitz has alleged that the death of his good friend Phil Hartman had a lot to do with Andy giving drugs to Hartman's drug recovering wife, Brynn in 2006 – who would later shoot and kill Hartman. Dick reportedly accosted Lovitz at a bar and egged him on.
"He looked at me and said, 'I put the Phil Hartman hex on you,' recalled Lovitz. "You're the next one to die," I said that, 'What did you say?' and he repeated it. I wanted to punch his face in, but I don't hit women."
A year later, the pair got into a tussle at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, after heated words were exchanged. The comedy club's owner, Jamie Masada, recalled the incident: "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose."

Projects Since Then:
Southland Tales, The Benchwarmers, Farce of the Penguins, The Producers, The Stepford Wives, The Critic, NewsRadio, Coneheads, Loaded Weapon 1, City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold. Lovitz also has opened a comedy club at Universal Studios City Walk.
Where did he go?
Lovitz seems to be staying quite visible throught the years after his SNL stint, appearing in various TV and film roles. His latest film, Casino Jack, is set for a 2010 release.

Stress test question06/26/2006 |
My ECG showed a "poor R wave progresssion." The doctor wants to do a stress test with the drug "dobutamine." Wouldn`t a regular stress test be safer? I have a heart murmer (systolic click) and high blood pressure (159/90.)
The purpose of a stress test is to screen for "ischemia" (that is, when the heart is working hard, it is not getting enough blood flow to it because of blockage in the coronary arteries). The key to the test is to get the heart rate up to a sufficient number (which is based on your age) - the method in which the heart rate is raised does not matter. Some people are able to achieve this heart rate by exercising on a treadmill stress test.
If there are reasons why a person could not exercise long enough on a treadmill to get their heart rate to that number (for example, they may have a bad back, arthritis in the knees, be out of shape), then using a drug, such as dobutamine, is used to raise that heart rate. The risk is the same whether the heart rate is raised by exercise or by dobutamine.
If you are sure that you could get on a treadmill and exercise long enough to get your heart rate to that level, then talk to your doctor about this.
Best wishes.

Baltimore Welcomes Same-Sex Marriage with Dedicated LGBT Microsite
BALTIMORE, MD - The ballots have been counted and the people have spoken - Maryland has upheld the legalization of same-sex marriage, and the city of Baltimore is ready to welcome happy couples for weddings, receptions and honeymoons. Couples can obtain a civil marriage license from the state beginning January 1, 2013.
Visit Baltimore, the city's tourism bureau, provides free planning assistance to help ease the stress of wedding planning, providing assistance in securing accommodations and group rates and suggestions for venues and vendors. With the legalization of same-sex marriage, Visit Baltimore has created a new microsite - www.baltimore.org/lgbt-weddings - containing everything same-sex couples need to know to get married in Baltimore, from practical information on how to obtain a marriage license to unique wedding venues and vendors, and information on Baltimore's TAG-approved accommodations.
"We encourage the LGBT community to visit Baltimore to celebrate their commitments to one another," says Tom Noonan, president and CEO of Visit Baltimore. "As a city, we have long been proud to support the rights and equality of our visitors, and the legalization of same-sex marriage is another important step forward."
Visit Baltimore has been supporting the LGBT community through advertising and other initiatives such as its "Rainbow Round-Up" quarterly e-newsletter; an annual LGBT Visitors Guide to Baltimore in partnership with the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central Maryland; sponsorship of LGBT events like Pride; and TAG-approved accommodations, which enforce non-discriminatory policies and provide diversity and sensitivity training to employees. These initiatives are all guided by the bureau's LGBT advisory committee of local tourism and business partners.
The Maryland referendum (Question 6) asked voters in the state's general election on November 6 to vote "For" or "Against" the Civil Marriage Protection Act, which was passed by the Maryland General Assembly in February 2012 and signed on March 1, 2012, by Governor Martin O'Malley to permit same-sex couples to marry beginning January 1, 2013.
Maryland and Maine became the first two states to pass same sex marriage via public vote with results of Washington's vote still being counted. Maryland and Maine join six other states that offer same-sex marriage, including Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont, plus the District of Columbia and two Native American tribal jurisdictions, the Coquille Tribe of Oregon and the Suquamish tribe of Washington.
For more information on LGBT marriage licenses, wedding venues, accommodations and honeymoon suggestions, visit www.baltimore.org/lgbt-weddings.

Gary Shilling has a new column up at Bloomberg View, explaining why he still thinks a recession is coming.
What's great about it is that, forecast aside, he has a very clear-eyed assessment of the state of the economy, featuring all the bullish data points and bearish data points.
The key to his argument is that consumers are getting by on mediocre income growth, and that retrenchment is inevitable, though he acknowledges we haven't seen it so far, and that even high gasoline prices haven't been a problem.
Anyway, we summarize his key thoughts:
- Consumer spending does remain strong. Growth of 0.8 percent in February was the best number in 7 months.
- Retail sales and consumer confidence have also been strong.
- But the numbers can't last. Personal income growth was just 0.2 percent in February.
- Thanks to college tuition and the car market, consumer debt is growing again.
- The housing market is still miserable.
- State and local spending is still depressed.
- There's still plenty of excess capacity, restraining business investment.
- It all comes down to the consumer: Due to weak wage growth a retrenchment is inevitable, and that's what will cause the recession.

The Cult Of The Primitives
February 1955 | Volume 6, Issue 2
No evidence exists that this ever happened. Authentic documents are silent concerning such a practice; and half-painted headless canvases have never been found, although there remain hundreds which were abandoned when the head was completed but the body not begun. Prefabrication of background and pose and costume would have made sense for the itinerants, since it would have given them employment when the roads were blocked by winter; yet they followed immemorial European studio practice by painting heads first, even if they later put in the bodies altogether from imagination in their studios or boarding houses.
The prefabrication fallacy is a minor though typical detail in the mass of picturesque misconceptions which have resulted in the deification of American Primitives—also known as American Folk Artists—at the expense of their better-trained colleagues. A portrait by a sign painter in which the face is a naïve, wayward design is considered superior to "a speaking likeness"; a landscape is the more admired the more cramped the perspective, the more symbolic and unnaturalistic the trees. The taste for such pictures has risen in the last thirty years to the level of a cult, complete with esthetic and historical theories of its own.
Although the theories now have a strong nationalistic tinge, the first step in their development was made abroad. Reacting against the efforts to reproduce visual reality that had dominated European art since the Renaissance, modernists in Paris sought to paint not things, but their reaction to things. In their efforts to find a visual language which would be a direct expression of emotion, they studied pictures by individuals who were assumed not to suffer sophisticated restraints: madmen, savages, children, naïve painters. When the art they had built up partially from such sources was introduced to the United States by the Armory Show of 1913, it seemed altogether an import; an impression that filled isolationists with indignation against what they called European decadence, and internationalists, who admired the paintings, with uneasiness lest Americans could never achieve such effects.
A way out was discovered by French artistic travelers, including Fernand Léger, and native art students returned from Paris, who happened on pictures by forgotten American painters in which flat forms and unnaturalistic colors bore some resemblance to advanced European work. Here was both defense and encouragement for American modernists, the more persuasive because irrelevant considerations made it possible to assume that such art was a uniquely American phenomenon.
France's well-publicized "naïfs" like Henri Rousseau, the customs collector-painter, seemed isolated individuals, while American primitive pictures, as soon as they were valued, turned up in such quantity that they were considered a natural outpouring of the people. As a matter of fact, a very similar art had been created in Europe by and for the lower middle class. It was less ubiquitous, because that class was less ubiquitous, and also because sophisticated instruction was easier to come by. It had been ignored by critics, and even the wave of modernism has not uncovered much of it. Feeling no similar need for nationalistic reassurance, concentrating on other sources of inspiration which their richer traditions opened to them, Europeans are glad to leave primitives as a mass movement to America. When such pictures are bought in England, Germany, or France, it is commonly for export to the United States, where they can be sold for large prices as examples of native American genius.
Primitives are regarded on these shores as glorious examples of American democracy at work. Since most of the artists were obscure in their own times, their names have either been lost, or if recorded in signatures on the canvases, appear in no obvious reference books. The pictures are considered, for all practical purposes, anonymous, and that is regarded as one of their greatest virtues. They were, it is gleefully assumed, painted by anybody, just folks, the American Everyman. Research, obviously, can never pin down such painters; little research has been undertaken. The only test a theory as to the origins of the pictures has to undergo is whether it is persuasive enough to be widely repeated.

Biden Suggests White House Could Act Without Congress as Part of Gun Control Plan
Vice President Biden said Wednesday that the White House could use "executive orders" to deal with gun control, as he kicked off a round of meetings aimed at finding ways to curb gun violence.
The vice president met Wednesday with gun-safety and victims groups, saying he is "determined" to take "urgent action" to address gun violence.
"This is not an exercise in photo opportunities or just getting to ask you all what your opinions are. We are vitally interested in what you have to say," Biden said.
The White House has sought to avoid prejudging what Biden's recommendations would be. But the vice president hinted Wednesday that executive action -- action by the president in which Congress would not have a say -- would indeed be involved.
"There are executive orders, executive action that can be taken," Biden said, adding "we haven't decided what that is yet."
He also said separate legislative action would be "required."
Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, after the meeting affirmed that administration officials "talked about ... their willingness to use executive action where that's appropriate."
Among the gun-advocacy groups attending the meeting Wednesday were Arizona for Gun Safety, the Brady Campaign, the Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
The vice president will hear from the other side of the gun-control debate Thursday, when the nation's leading gun lobby meets face to face with his task force in what could be a testy session. The National Rifle Association confirmed to Fox News that the group accepted an invitation to meet with the task force, which is running up against an end-of-the-month deadline to produce a set of proposals.
The administration says mental health and the entertainment industry will likely be examined as part of that process. Biden has also scheduled a meeting with representatives from the entertainment and video game industries. But much of the discussion, and proposals from Democratic members of Congress, continue to center around gun control. The meeting Wednesday with gun safety groups will likely focus on those kinds of proposals.

Reviewer: Jeff Bolduc I have a complete Boston system in my camper van. GT2300, GT2200, GT4100, 2 pro 60's, 2 pro 50's, SPG 555, G112, and two of these G108's I use for mid-bass only (90-200 hz). I love this system, it hits hard and sounds clean no matter how hard you crank it. I have a major complaint though. Boston does NOT make grilles for there subs so I custom made grilles for the SPG 555 and the G112. I just ordered some KICKER grilles for the G108's. This sucks that Boston doesn't have grilles for there subs and they need to do something about it. Kicker. Fosgate, Alpine, Polk Audio, JBL, JL Audio,etc.. all have grilles for their subs. WTF !!!!!!! Reviewer: email@example.com The G108 is a typical Boston. It sounds good. Although there are other 8" subs out there that can give you more output, the motors are too big to fit anywhere you would normally put an 8" driver which sort of defeats the purpose.

problem in contacting the servlet
I am using the reverseAjax technique to dynamically push the data from the servlet to a jsp page.
I am trying to contact another servlet for making some business logic, when i try to do so i am getting the error in the console as below java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: controller.querygen
But there exsists a package named controller and a querygen servlet. What could be the reason ? Is it because another servlet is already sending data dynamically to the jsp page and any exception arises?

Generic Name: dacarbazine (Intravenous route, Injection route)
Hemopoietic depression is the most common toxicity with dacarbazine for injection. Hepatic necrosis has also been reported. Studies have demonstrated this agent to have a carcinogenic and teratogenic effect when used in animals .
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Dtic-Dome

Available Dosage Forms:
- Powder for Solution

Therapeutic Class: Antineoplastic Agent

Uses For Dtic-Dome
Dacarbazine belongs to the group of medicines called alkylating agents. It is used to treat cancer of the lymph system and malignant melanoma (a type of skin cancer). It may also be used to treat other kinds of cancer, as determined by your doctor.
Dacarbazine interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by dacarbazine, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, like hair loss, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur for months or years after the medicine is used.
Before you begin treatment with dacarbazine, you and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
Dacarbazine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, dacarbazine is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:
- Cancer of the islet cells (a part of the pancreas)
- Soft tissue sarcomas (a cancer of the muscles, tendons, vessels that carry blood or lymph, joints, and fat)
Before Using Dtic-Dome

Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients and there is no specific information comparing use of dacarbazine in children with use in other age groups.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effects or problems in older people. There is no specific information about the use of dacarbazine in the elderly.

- Herpes zoster (shingles)—Risk of severe disease affecting other parts of the body

Proper Use of Dtic-Dome
Dacarbazine is sometimes given together with certain other medicines. If you are using a combination of medicines, it is important that you receive each one at the proper time. If you are taking some of these medicines by mouth, ask your health care professional to help you plan a way to remember to take them at the right times.
This medicine often causes nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. The injection may also cause a feeling of burning or pain. However, it is very important that you continue to receive the medicine, even if you have discomfort or begin to feel ill. After 1 or 2 days, your stomach upset should lessen. Ask your health care professional for ways to lessen these effects.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Precautions While Using Dtic-Dome
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly and to check for unwanted effects.
While you are being treated with dacarbazine, and after you stop treatment with it, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Dacarbazine may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not take oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid persons who have taken oral polio vaccine within the last several months. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
Dacarbazine can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
- If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
- Check with your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising; black, tarry stools; blood in urine or stools; or pinpoint red spots on your skin.
- Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.
- Do not touch your eyes or the inside of your nose unless you have just washed your hands and have not touched anything else in the meantime.
- Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.
- Avoid contact sports or other situations where bruising or injury could occur.
If dacarbazine accidentally seeps out of the vein into which it is injected, it may damage some tissues and cause scarring. Tell the doctor or nurse right away if you notice redness, pain, or swelling at the place of injection.
Dtic-Dome Side Effects
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
More common- Redness, pain, or swelling at place of injection

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
More common- Loss of appetite

Holly Hills residents are being flooded out
Holly Hills residents told council Tuesday night they are struggling to stay above water and pleaded with city officials to fix drainage problems in the area.
Katie Denne, a young farmer trying to save her family farm from flooding, appeared before council looking for answers as to why her property is the sponge for the entire Holly Hills neighbourhood.
"We've been witnessing acres upon acres of our family farm disappearing," Denne said. "My question is 'why?' Why must Holly Hill Farm be a sponge?"
Denne's 16.2 acre property, which she and husband Kyle purchased in November 2011, is situated near the base of hilly Park Road, on Ida Road.
The farm is bordered by Park Road on one side and Woodburn Road on the other. Water from the Holly Hills subdivision flows down through a culvert on Park Road and drains into a 10-foot wide creek on Denne's farm which cuts through her property.
It's supposed to flow through to the ditch on Woodburn Road, but the ditch is clogged and the water isn't moving. Instead, it's sitting on Denne's property, and flooding her land.
"Holly Hill Farm is being washed away," Denne said. "This inhibits the growth of our pasture grasses (and) our 50-year-old poplar trees have drowned and died."
The farm has been in Denne's family for three generations and was built by her grandfather in the 1950s.
Denne recalls the farm hosting barrel racing, and horseback rides for the neighbourhood kids. The gardens were plentiful and bright.
Denne dreams of restoring the farm to its former glory and would like to grow fresh meat and vegetables for the community, and run a general store right on the property.
She and her husband would also like to build a house on the property so they can live on site.
Up the hill from Denne lives Richard Paquette, on Spring Road.
Paquette, who has spoken to council numerous times about ditching, said when the city came to clean out the ditches along Spring Road in the summertime, they didn't complete the work.
"They didn't continue up Spring Road, they stopped where the two culverts are," Paquette said.
"The whole part they cleaned they did a good job (but) they cleaned three-quarters of Spring Road; they should get three-quarters of my taxes. When they finish it they can get the rest of my taxes. They should come back and finish the job."
Paquette said the water levels in the ditches are so high that he can't even see the culverts.
He said last winter two people drowned in a ditch on Woodburn after their car flipped because the water was so high.
City staff told council that during budget planning next week it will be submitting a $150,000 capital project to widen and deepen the ditches on Woodburn Road, starting this summer if approved.
Coun. Claire Moglove asked if it would include a re-routing and installation of storm drains or if it would be mostly maintenance.
Ron Neufeld, the city's general manager of operations, said it would be the bare minimum.
"Basically a maintenance exercise – the ditches cleaned and the culverts cleaned," he said.

NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase is suspending plans to buy back its own stock, a little more than a week after the bank posted a large trading loss.
The largest U.S. bank by assets disclosed the $2 billion trading loss on May 10 in a hastily called conference call with investors and journalists.
The loss from an ill-timed trade on so-called credit derivatives has rattled investor confidence in JPMorgan Chase, leading to a 20 percent decline in the value of the stock since the disclosure, lopping off $30 billion of market value.
The loss has also hurt the reputation of CEO Jamie Dimon, who has since apologized to investors several times.
"It's an embarrassment, it's a black mark," Dimon said again Monday at a conference organized by Deutsche Bank.
Dimon said JPMorgan will continue to pay its quarterly dividend of 30 cents a share. But it will suspend plans to buy back shares because the bank is preparing for new international regulations that force banks to hold more capital to prepare for economic downturns.
Answering a question by an analyst on what made the company suspend its plans, Dimon said it was in response to regulators' requirements.
He said regulators need large banks like JPMorgan to not only pass the annual stress tests conducted by the U.S. Federal Reserve, but also "to be without stress in a normal environment." That's because regulators want banks to be able to easily comply with new international regulations that go into effect starting next year.
However, the large losses from the complex trade would make that difficult.
"We're obviously not going to be making as much money," said Dimon.
Dimon said he would like the bank to be on a "glide path" to be prepared for new regulatory capital requirements. But the level of risk has gone up from the trade, which affects how much capital the bank has to set aside for future losses.
Dimon has been trying to put out fires at the bank after making the announcement. Four days after the announcement the bank announced that Ina Drew, the chief investment officer for the bank and a 30-year veteran of the company who was responsible for the division that handled the trade, would retire.
JPMorgan's was scheduled to buy back $15 billion shares through the end of the first quarter of 2013.
JPMorgan's stock fell 3 percent to close at $32.51 Monday.
Dimon's announcement is an about-face from earlier statements. At a meeting with investors in February, Dimon had said buying back stock helps the company meet regulatory requirements quicker.
"I don't mind the low stock price," Dimon had said then. The bank had bought a lot of stock back in 2011 at $36.
Usually, the bank buys back the shares it issues for employee stock-based incentive awards.

07-29-2008, 11:29 AMThe NEA Spells Out Its Policies
The nation's largest teachers union, the National Education Association, attracted 9,000 delegates to its annual convention in Washington, D.C. over the Fourth of July weekend. Delegates sported buttons with provocative slogans such as "Gay marriage causes Global Warming only because we are so hot!", "Hate is not a family value," "The 'Christian Right' is neither," and "Gay Rights are civil rights."
The delegates passed dozens of hard-hitting resolutions that now become the NEA's official policy. The resolutions authorize NEA members and employees to lobby for those goals in the halls of Congress and state capitols.
NEA resolutions cover the waterfront of all sorts of political issues that have nothing to do with improving education for schoolchildren, such as supporting statehood for the District of Columbia, a "single-payer health care plan" (i.e., government-run), gun control, ratification of the International Criminal Court Treaty, and taking steps "to change activities that contribute to global climate change."
The NEA fiercely opposes any competition for public schools, such as vouchers, tuition tax credits, parental option plans, or public support of any kind to non-public schools. The NEA strongly opposes designating English as our official language even though such a designation is supported by more than 80 percent of Americans.
The NEA opposes home schooling unless children are taught by state-licensed teachers using a state-approved curriculum. The NEA wants to bar home-schooled students from participating in any extracurricular activities in public schools even though their parents pay school taxes, too.
The NEA wants many additional (job-creating) services and programs to be provided by public schools such as early childhood education (i.e., baby-sitting for preschoolers). NEA resolutions call for "programs in the public schools for children from birth through age 8," and for "mandatory kindergarten with compulsory attendance."
NEA resolutions include all the major feminist goals such as "the right to reproductive freedom" (i.e., abortion on demand); "comparable worth" (i.e., government control of wages according to feminist ideology rather than the free market); full funding for the feminist boondoggle called the Women's Educational Equity Act; and "the use of nonsexist language," i.e., censoring out all masculine words such as husband and father.
The NEA even urges its affiliates to work for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA was declared dead by the U.S. Supreme Court 26 years ago.
And people wonder why we are doomed! :eek:
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves." -William Pitt
I lasted a whole year as an English teacher in a close-in suburban high school. I liked the kids, just not my peers. I've never seen such an assortment of immature idiots. I bailed early and started a career in business and haven't regretted it a minute.
My happiest moment was the graduation of my second son from the public school system. I did battle all the time with the admin and teachers..

[QUOTE=megimoo;25136][SIZE="3"]The NEA Spells Out Its Policies
A good buddy of mine, a published author with a BA in English and several years experience as a teacher in PA applied to the NYC school system a few years ago. He was already working as a sub and wanted to make it permanent. He aced the exam, but there was an essay question, "Should the capital gains tax be cut?" They told him that the answer didn't matter, so long as he demonstrated proficiency with the language and could support an argument. When he got the results back, he was told that he gave the "wrong" answer and denied a position. It was a litmus test to weed out conservatives.

Integrating Women's History Workshop
- Details
- Parent Category: Workshops and Webinars
The National Collaborative for Women's History Sites offers workshops designed to enhance historic interpretation and programming at a range of historic sites, the workshop provided an overview of site-based women's history, its importance, and the benefits of incorporating it into existing interpretation, preservation, and research. This workshop can be offered for your organization as well. Contact us for details.
This workshop can be a productive addition to conferences. In summer 2011, for instance, the NCWHS held a very successful pre-conference workshop on integrating women's history prior to the Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, June 9-12. The 2-1/2 day training workshop was held in partnership with the National Park Service (NPS) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst immediately prior to the Conference. We are pleased to provide, by way of example, some video clips from the 2011 workshop.

BYOD Timeline Begins With Assessment, Policy Creation
Managed security service provider Solutionary created a BYOD timeline in its 2013 Threat Report. Failing to address BYOD is one of 5 costly security weaknesses, according to the firm's report. The firm's timeline begins with policy creation, includes user education, policy enforcement and deploying some form of mobile antivirus. A policy to force data encryption and remote wipe capabilities should also be implemented, the firm said. The SANs institute, a security research and education organization, provides mobile security policy templates for further guidance.

UPDATE 1-Infineon raises 2017 outlook on stronger automotive orders
* Shares rise 8.5 pct to 15-year high at top of sector index (Adds detail, background, updates shares)
* China sets sales record for iPhone debut with new model
* Smartphone competition still pressures share price
* Citi Research cuts Apple to 'neutral' from 'buy' (Adds details from analysts' notes, background, shares)
Dec 17 Apple Inc sold more than 2 million iPhone 5s in China in just three days after its launch there on Friday, its best ever smartphone launch in the country, but Apple shares fell on Monday after Citi downgraded the stock.
The highly anticipated release in China, Apple's second-biggest market, has not eased worries about stiffer competition in mobile devices that has driven a slide in the share price of the world's most valuable technology company.
Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said last week that Apple had started cutting orders to iPhone suppliers to balance excess inventory.
Sales of Amazon.com Inc's cheaper Kindle Fire tablets have also surged this year and rival Microsoft Corp recently forayed into the market with its Surface.
Apple shares have fallen on seven of the last 10 trading days, with several analysts cutting their price targets on the company's stock.
The shares were down 1.3 percent at $502.76 in early trading on the Nasdaq. The stock has shed nearly 13 percent of its value since the beginning of this month to Friday's close.
Citi Research downgraded Apple's stock on Sunday to "neutral" from "buy", and lowered its price target to $575 from $675, citing diminishing hype around the iPhone 5 and improving competition in smartphones.
But Topeka Capital Markets remained upbeat, suggesting Chinese iPhone owners would upgrade from iPhone 4 models.
"The strong iPhone 5 sales this weekend support our view," Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White said in a research note on Monday.
"The iPhone 5 is all about the status upgrade. A new form factor shows the world that you have the latest and greatest iPhone, a sign of status in China."
Apple's latest iPhone, sporting a larger 4-inch screen and 4G capability, made its global debut with a launch in the United States and 30 other countries in September, selling more than 5 million in its first three days on the market.
This is the first time Apple has announced China sales numbers for the iPhone and Chief Executive Tim Cook said that this was the best first weekend sales ever in China.
Analysts, however, say the company's longer-term outlook in the China market may hinge on expanding its partners in that country to include China Mobile Ltd, the country's top telecoms carrier.

Collar Sizing Information
Traditional dog collars are available in a variety of styles, colors and widths. They should ride high on your pet's neck, but not loose so that it slides down near the top of his shoulder blades. Dog Collars should be snug with enough room to fit two fingers between your dog's neck and his collar. For your dog's safety, the collar should not be loose enough to slip over the pet's head. Collars should also not be so tight as to restrict breathing or cause coughing. Check collar size frequently on growing puppies.

The moose will stay loose
The moose hunting season is canceled in Minnesota because of a sharp decline in the moose population. The Department of Natural Resources says its census of the numbers shows they are "extremely disappointing" at about 2,760. Researchers are trying to find out why Minnesota's signature animal is declining in population. The estimate in last winter's survey was 4,200 and that number was half of what it was in 2006. Scientists think warmer weather, parasites and disease are contributing factors.

Councillor questions new sidewalk construction
The city is spending $283,964 on new sidewalks, predominantly in the Campbellton area.
The sidewalks are being built in the 15th Avenue area as part of the city's sidewalk infill program.
Coun. Andy Adams, at the June 10 council meeting, said the new sidewalks are a nice addition to Campbellton but questioned the side of the street city staff chose for the sidewalk on Spruce, between Highway 19A and 14th Avenue.
"Can you explain the rationale as to why it's being constructed on the side of the road that it is, versus the other side of the road, which has a deep ditch, that could have resolved some safety concerns and some drainage concerns?" Adams asked.
Ron Neufeld, the city's general manager of operations, said the east side was chosen for two reasons.
"The pedestrian corridor and all the crosswalks are aligned on the east side and staff looked at the obligations of filling in the ditches in order to accommodate those sidewalks and there would have been a fair amount of drainage work required first before we would've been able to put the sidewalk in," Neufeld said. "That wasn't part of this budget, so it was more economical to put them in on the east side."
Adams said while he could appreciate the economics of choosing the side without the ditches, he couldn't understand the connectivity factor.
"There is no connectivity to sidewalks going up Petersen or across 19A," Adams said. "So that one's sort of questionable."
Neufeld agreed that there are no other sidewalks in the area but said there are crosswalks located on the east side of the street.
Construction of the new sidewalks is already underway in Campbellton, in and around the 15th Avenue area of the city.
As part of the sidewalk infill program, the city is installing roughly 1,642 metres of concrete sidewalks, 12.8 square metres of concrete driveway restoration and 1,518 metres of concrete barrier and mountable curbs.
Funding for the project is being split between the city's Community Works Fund which is made up of Gas Tax revenue from the federal government, and through Development Cost Charges which the city collects through new development.

The San Luis Obispo physician who coached local running phenom Jordan Hasay as a teen and helped many other Cuesta College runners reach their potential received Cuesta College's track and field second annual Community Support Award.
Dr. Armando Siqueiros received the honor from Brian Locher, Cuesta College track and cross country coach, at the SLO Town Track Classic, held earlier this year. The award recognizes individuals who have had a profound impact on the local running community.
"I am very honored to receive this award from Cuesta," Siqueiros said. "I have had a great time working with the coaches and athletes. One does things for their passion — to get recognition is just icing on the cake. It makes me feel good that people have appreciated my effort. I hope I can continue to perform and support people as I have."
Siqueiros, a former elite distance runner (who clocked a 10K in 29:12), is a physician at French Health Center in San Luis Obispo. He has lived on the Central Coast for nearly 20 years.
"Armando has served the needs of the running community selflessly since he moved to this area," Locher said. "He coached Jordan Hasay during her stay at Mission Prep and now coaches the Cal Poly Distance Club."
Locher said Siqueiros has been instrumental in providing medical advice to the local elite club runners, the Asics Aggie Running Club, and has allowed numerous Cuesta College track and field athletes to visit his clinic for check-ups and consultations.
The summer after Hasay graduated high school, the Arroyo Grande teen, who worked out at Cuesta's track under Siqueiros' tutelage, broke the national high school record for 1500 meters at Olympic Trials. Also in 2008, she was named USA Track and Field's Youth Athlete of the Year and the Girls High School Athlete of the Year by Track & Field News.
Siqueiros joins another local running legend Joe Rubio, who received the inaugural Community Support Award in 2012. Rubio, owner of Running Warehouse in San Luis Obispo, is a former two-time U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier (1992 and 1996) and has coached the Asics Aggies since 1999.

Agricultural Trade:
Changes Made to Market Access Program, but Questions Remain on Economic Impact

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4128
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Agriculture's implementation of legislative reforms to the Market Access Program (MAP) and their impact on program participation.
GAO noted that: (1) as directed by Congress, the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) implemented operational changes to MAP; these changes have affected program participation and distribution of funds; (2) since fiscal year (FY) 1994, FAS has increased the number of small businesses participating in MAP to promote brand-name products as well as small businesses' share of program funds; (3) as required by statute, FAS prohibited direct assistance for brand-name promotions to large companies beginning in FY 1996; (4) this prohibition does not apply to cooperatives and certain associations; (5) also, beginning in FY 1998, FAS prohibited indirect assistance to large companies; (6) FAS implemented a graduation requirement that will affect about a quarter of the small businesses with brand-name promotions totalling $4.3 million in FY 1999, as well as the number of MAP brand-name promotions conducted in individual country markets; (7) this graduation requirement also could have affected about half of the cooperatives; however, in December 1998, FAS chose to use its statutory authority and waive the graduation requirement for all cooperatives, citing special considerations; (8) since FY 1995, FAS has required all participants to self-certify that MAP funds supplement, not supplant, their activities to develop new foreign markets for their products; (9) while FAS regularly verifies that the participants and the companies they fund have completed their certification statements, FAS' Director of Compliance Review Staff reports that it is difficult to ensure that these funds are additional because it is hard to determine what would have been spent in the absence of MAP funds; (10) also, this requirement has had no apparent impact on program participation; (11) questions remain about the overall economic benefits derived from MAP funding; (12) FAS estimates of MAP's macroeconomic impact are overstated because they rely on a methodology that assumes that the resources used were not employed prior to the funding; (13) GAO noted that this is inconsistent with Office of Management and Budget cost/benefit guidelines; and (14) in addition, the evidence from market-level studies is inconclusive regarding MAP's impact on specific commodities in specific markets.

Comprehensive, Single-Package Security Solutions Make Network Protection Convenient and Simple to Install and Manage
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 12 -- SonicWALL, Inc. (NASDAQ?), today announced SonicWALL TotalSecure(TM), a comprehensive solution that makes it easy to solve the most critical Internet security issues facing businesses today. SonicWALL TotalSecure is a cost-effective tool that enhances business effectiveness by allowing small and medium businesses to increase Internet security and manage risk, productivity and bandwidth usage from a single firewall platform.
Combining hardware and software in an easily installed and managed offering, SonicWALL TotalSecure is constantly updated with signatures to protect networks from the latest threats, including viruses, spyware, worms and Trojans. The offering includes a hardware firewall, one year subscription to SonicWALL's Gateway Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Intrusion Prevention and Content Filtering services, firmware updates, and 8X5 support for all-in-one network protection. SonicWALL TotalSecure is available in five wired or wireless options based on the SonicWALL TZ150, TZ 170 and PRO 2040 firewall appliances, all in a highly affordable package.
"With SonicWALL TotalSecure, our channel partners will be able to offer their customers a simple solution to their security needs, and will be able to complete proposals and quotes more rapidly than by building customized solutions," said Lief Koepsel, director of channel marketing at SonicWALL. "Channel partners can use SonicWALL TotalSecure to develop a flow of recurring service subscription revenues, and will also benefit from a streamlined training requirement for their technical support and sales personnel."
Unlike cheaper hardware solutions which lack the ability to support a dynamically-updated signature database, SonicWALL TotalSecure platforms deliver comprehensive Unified Threat Management (UTM) capabilities including dynamic signature updates, and scanning incoming traffic for threats, malicious mobile code or dangerous applications. IDC defines UTM security appliance products as those which integrate multiple security features including network firewalling, network intrusion detection and prevention, and gateway anti-virus within a single appliance. The powerful content filtering capabilities also included with SonicWALL TotalSecure bundles allow users to regulate the type of content accessed, filter unacceptable material, and control bandwidth use by managing recreational file-sharing, multimedia streaming and downloading from peer-to-peer applications.
"With TotalSecure, SonicWALL is doing something new and exciting for the channel," said David Hirschman, director of hardware at ASAP Software, an industry-leading software services and hardware provider. "The single-package approach to comprehensive security is a great fit for us and also makes it easier to work with our customers, especially in the SMB market. Security is a big focus for us and we see SonicWALL as leading the market with this initiative."
Five offerings are available immediately in three sizes of firewalls based on the size of the user's office. Pricing starts at $540:

I learned that from QI.
