Subscribe To Jared Leto Becomes The Latest Celeb Heckled At An Awards Show Updates
I've already subscribed
When did it become OK to yell at celebrities as they accept awards on a stage? Jared Leto became the latest celebrity to be heckled by an attendee at an awards ceremony, this one taking place Tuesday evening in Santa Barbara, California. It extends a bizarre (and hopefully short-lived) trend of entitled audience members thinking they can bully themselves into an actor's moment to get their "message" heard.
Leto was accepting the Virtuosos Award Tuesday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter. As he spoke about his work in Jean-Marc Vallee's Dallas Buyers Club -- a role that has earned him an Oscar nomination and numerous early awards – Leto heard a woman in the audience shout, "Trans-misogyny does not deserve an award." I'm not even sure what "trans-mysogyny" means. Neither did Leto, for he fired back, "What do you mean by that?" The following back-and-forth took place:
As you might expect, that last comment from Leto earned huge applause from the audience, mostly consisting of actors, producers and directors who need to explore such roles if this industry is to survive. THR reports that Leto "met with the heckler and her friend afterwards, where the trio had a cordial conversation for about fifteen minutes." Class act.
I'm not trying to say that the woman's comments aren't valid. She can hope to see actual trans-gender actors playing characters like Rayon on screen. Imagine flipping the script ever so slightly. What if a white actor had been cast as Solomon Northup in Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave? Said actor could make the same argument that Leto proposes. "What, because I'm white, I don't deserve to play that part?" And I think most of us would agree that yes, it would be silly to see a white actor playing an enslaved free-man in the Antebellum South.
But seriously, when did it become routine for people attending awards ceremonies to just shout comments at actors on the stage? It's disgraceful when supposed "professional" critics do it. It's not much better when regular attendees take to heckling. Does this trend mean we're primed to see a disruption at the Academy Awards on March 2? Tune it to see if we get something as bizarre as this:

BALTIMORE – UMBC softball opens its season at the Seahawk Invitational, which was set to begin on Friday, Feb. 14 at UNC-Wilmington, however, due to inclement weather in the Baltimore area, the Retrievers' schedule is now set to take place on Saturday, Feb. 15 and Sunday, Feb. 16. UMBC will play four games throughout its opening weekend at Boseman Field, including matchups with the host Seahawks, Liberty and Norfolk State.
The Retrievers take on UNC-Wilmington in the tournament opener on Saturday at 10 a.m. followed by a 4 p.m. matchup against Liberty. UMBC plays the same schedule on day two, opening the day versus Norfolk State and battling UNC-Wilmington in the nightcap.
Scouting the Opposition
UNC-Wilmington opened its 2014 slate last weekend at the Charleston Southern Softball Tournament. The Seahawks registered a 1-2 record on the weekend, with its victory coming against UMES, 7-0. Freshman pitcher Peyton Jordan earned CAA Rookie of the Week honors following the tournament, posting a 1-1 record in three appearances. Jordan fanned 10 batters in 12.1 innings and allowed four unearned runs.
Second-year head coach Kristy Norton is coming off a successful inaugural campaign that doubled UNC-Wilmington's win total from 2012. Norton returns 14 letterwinners and seven starts from 2013.
Liberty started its first slate under first-year head coach Dot Richardson last weekend at the FGCU/Four Points by Sheraton Invitational. The Lady Flames dropped all five games in their opening tournament, including a pair of one-run losses.
The Lady Flames were picked to finish seventh in the Big South preseason poll after posting a 20-37 record a season ago. Liberty returns 18 letterwinners from 2013, including 2013 NFCA All-Region First Team selection Katie Zavodny and Second Team honoree Sammi Shivock.
Norfolk State fell just shy of its first-ever MEAC title in 2013 after winning five-straight games in the conference tournament, but falling in the finals. The Spartans posted their best Division I finish with a 31-22 overall mark and a second-place finish in the Northern Division.
Head coach Heidi Vacallo returns 14 letterwinners and nine starters in her fourth season with NSU. The Spartans welcome back five All-MEAC performers from a year ago, including 2013 Player of the Year Haley Ward.
UMBC Head Softball Coach Joe French enters his 13th season at the helm of the Retrievers' program and despite back-to-back seasons of missing out on the America East Championships, he is confident that this 2014 team has the chemistry and mind-set to get the Retrievers back to the top half of the league standings.
"Our goal has been to try and change the attitude of settling for being okay," said French. "We want to excel on a regular basis. We brought in nine newcomers, who come from good travel ball teams and good junior colleges and I think their mind-set is that they want to win now. They have combined with the returners to form a strong group and it is evident by their practice and by the way they performed in the fall."
The Retrievers, who return 10 letterwinners and eight starters from a year ago, were picked to finish sixth out of seven teams in the annual America East Coaches' Preseason Poll, but French will rely heavily on his nine newcomers, including a trio of rookie pitchers.
"Our first 17 games of the season are away from home," French said. "If we can win some of those games and establish some early confidence, it will pay dividends for a team that lost 14 games last season by two runs or less and will prepare us for the always tough America East Conference."
French is a continued believer in the game starting and ending with pitching and despite three of his four pitchers being newcomers, this year proves to be no different for the Retrievers. French has set high goals for his new staff, which will focus on minimizing walks and giving the Retrievers' fielders a chance to make a play, as opposed to last year's staff that allowed 4.7 walks per game.
Junior Miranda Clark has two years in the circle under her belt and proves to be the veteran of the Retrievers' young staff. Clark held opponents to a .221 batting average a season ago, ranking third among America East pitchers, and was second on the team in strikeouts (63).
"We are hoping that Miranda will initially establish her command, pitch with confidence and endurance to become a top of the rotation pitcher that we can put up against anyone," said French. "She has two years of experience and now's her time to experience success."
French brings a pair of lefties into the rotation with freshmen Nicole Casagrand and Jessica Holte, who both had great success in high school and during the fall with the Retrievers. Casagrand posted an 18-4 record with a 2.04 ERA in her final season at Hatboro-Horsham High School, in addition to guiding her club team, Tuff N Tuffer Gold, to a 17th-place finish in the ASA Gold Nationals over the summer, while Holte was a four-time Virginia High School League Capital District First Team pitcher at Atlee High School.
The staff is rounded out by freshman righty Kelly Lane, who is coming off a stellar senior campaign at Colonie Central High School, where she recorded an 18-3 mark in the circle and fanned 227 batters. Lane is a two-time Capital District Player of the Year and has provided her ability both in the circle and at the plate.
All three freshmen have the ability to play multiple positions in addition to pitching in order to get their bats in the lineup.
"This is the strongest group of freshmen pitchers that we've brought here in a long time," explained French. "We feel very confident that all three can give us quality innings. They all have a variety of pitches, have good velocity and really pound the strike zone. I think the staff overall compliments each other very well."
The Retrievers return two-time America East All-Conference First Team catcher Taylor Hall for her junior season. Hall has proven to be a key player, both offensively and defensively, in her first two seasons. She batted .367 in each of her first two campaigns with UMBC and hit at a .419 clip during league play a season ago. Hall enters 2014 ranked fourth all-time at UMBC in slugging percentage (.602) and fifth in on-base percentage (.433).
Junior transfer Kathleen Sharp comes to the Retrievers after two seasons at Brookdale Community College in New Jersey where she helped the Jersey Blues to a National Junior College Athletic Association National Tournament finals appearance in 2013. Sharp will battle for time behind the plate, along with fellow newcomers Kinsey Shifflett and Kaelin Jackson.
"Sharp is a great field general and catcher," French said. "She handles the pitching staff almost like a coach on the field, so we are confident with her and Taylor manning the spot behind the plate. Last season we saw quite a few injuries behind the plate, so to add two reliable catchers like Kinsey and Kaelin, I feel that we have our deepest catching rotation that we've seen since the 2006 team."
With added depth at the catching spot, sophomore Jordan Sganga will focus a majority of her time at third base in 2013. Sganga started 41 games in her initial campaign with the Retrievers and this season will look to provide solid performances on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
Sophomore utility player Danielle O'Neill returns after earning America East All-Conference Second Team honors a season ago. O'Neill one was one three Retrievers to start all 52 games, including a starting nod at every position except for the pitcher a season ago. The rookie led the team in doubles (10) and ranked second in batting average (.285). O'Neill, as well as Jackson who will see action at both first base and third base, provide French with versatility throughout the infield.
Sophomore Bridget O'Malley emerged as the team's starting shortstop and took over the leadoff spot in the lineup for the remainder of the year in 2013. O'Malley, who posted the second-most walks in a single-season at UMBC with a 34 on the year, will look to build upon her .403 on-base percentage.
Junior transfer Katlin Olesky will help to present UMBC with one of its fastest middle infields it has seen in years as she battles with senior Caitlin Chance for the starting spot at second base. Olesky batted .319 with a .507 slugging percentage in her junior season with Saddleback College in California. Chance enters her final campaign with the Retrievers and looks to build off a season where she batted .300 with runners in scoring position and posted 11-multiple hit games and five multiple RBI games.
Junior Courtney Reinfeld will also see action at second and third this season, after making 27 of her 33 starts at the corner infield spot. Reinfeld hit a career-best .240 last season, including a .375 average with two outs.
Senior Chelsea Bertoglio battled injuries a season ago, but led the team with a .991 fielding percentage at first base. Bertoglio hit .364 with runners in scoring position and drove in 15 runs, in addition to posting the second-highest on-base percentage (.415) on the team. Bertoglio will split time at first and as the designated player, with Hall slipping into both roles as well.
"In a lot of our infield positions, our lineup will depend on matchups or the hottest bat," expressed French. "One thing for certain is that we have our quickest middle infield in years, with Bridget and Katlin representing two of our four fastest players, and I am very confident that we will be able to turn some ground singles into ground outs."
With the injury to freshman center fielder Erin Trnka during fall ball, freshman Jaclyn Buckley emerged as the Retrievers' starting center fielder, further adding to UMBC's speed up the middle. Buckley, who's speed and athleticism allows her to play multiple position, comes from a highly successful high school experience at Eastern Camden Regional, where the Vikings earned state titles in 2010 and 2012. Buckley led Eastern Camden Regional in home runs and runs batted in during her senior season, tying program single-season marks in both categories.
In addition to competing for time at second base, Chance will be a probable starter in the outfield when she is not at second. Classmate Megan Sauble is looking very strong since returning from an injury-plagued junior campaign in which she appeared in 13 contests. Sauble will see time in both the corner outfield positions.
Junior Mary Hartman will provide depth in the outfield after making 43 starts in left field and center field a season ago. The pitching staff will also determine the outfield lineup, with all three freshmen pitchers having the ability to play in the field.
"Some of the rotations throughout the year will be dictated on who is performing well," said French. "Right now, we are much deeper and more athletic than we were last year. The competition amongst the team will be on-going throughout the year, which will only help us to get better."
"Our formula for success this season will include a number of things," French said. "Our winning attitude and strong team chemistry must continue throughout the season. We need everyone playing their best, which includes strong pitching and strong defense, as well as timely hitting, which is a factor that we were without at times last season."

How do you find a good caterer?
Reviews, interviews and menu tastings will help you find the right catering choice for your big day. Start by screening possible wedding caterers based on past reviews. If a caterer you are interested in has a review that concerns you, ask them about it; how they respond will be very telling. Next, ask about their availability for your wedding date.
If the wedding caterer is available on your date, it's time to talk about menus and prices. Be clear about what your maximum budget is find out what choices this will allow you. Caterers may custom-create a menu for your event, or they may have menu templates within different price ranges that can guide your decision. A clear budget gives the caterer clear parameters within which to work and offer creative suggestions. Schedule a menu tasting to confirm you love your wedding menu. Once you have a menu and date, and have paid a deposit to reserve the caterer's services, confirm additional details including when the food will be delivered to the site, what kind of service will be provided, how many servers will be onsite and for how long, and who is responsible for setup and cleanup. The more specific your contract, the fewer worries you'll have on your wedding day. Get more smart hiring tips here.
How much does it cost to hire a caterer?
Catering prices depend mainly on how fancy you want the food and service to be and how many guests you'll have. When you're first looking to hire a caterer for your event, consider how many guests you'll have and your total food and drink budget. The national average for event catering is $340, but catering prices can range into the thousands depending on your menu, guest count, and service.
Event catering is a broad term that covers everything from fully prepared, ready-to-eat food that the hosts plate and serve themselves to full-service, multicourse meals, including rental of linens, glassware and other items, with service staff organized by the catering company. Usually a caterer will determine cost based on the type of event you're having, how many guests will attend, the level of service you desire, and what type of menu you'd like to have. For example, if you have a set catering budget, say $1,500, and you plan to have 50 people attend, that means you have $30 per person for food. If you have the same budget with 100 people, you have $15 per person for food. In this way, the number of people you want to attend your event and the level of food you want to serve them determines how much catering will cost.
How much should catering cost for a wedding?
The cost of wedding catering will reflect the level of service, the menu you choose, the luxury you desire and the number of guests you invite. Where you live also plays a major role in your wedding catering costs. The regional cost to do business and local cost of food will affect your catering bill. There is no set price for wedding catering, because each wedding and each menu is different. This is why many caterers provide a per-person price. This allows you to break down what it costs to feed each person based on the menu you want. Working with your caterer, you can adjust menu items, service level and more to accommodate your budget and guest count. Keep in mind that wedding catering costs are not just for the food. The bill reflects all the components that go into commercial food catering: a commercial kitchen, ingredients, staff, insurance, marketing and more. Here are some examples of average costs:
- Three-course plated meal, moderately upscale, for 125 in Los Angeles: $14,000. Because of staffing costs, a true plated meal costs about twice as much as a staff-assisted buffet.
- Buffet meal, standard menu, for 100 in Los Angeles: $5,000.
- Per-person cost for hors d'oeuvres, dinner and nonalcoholic beverages: $24–$37, depending on menu selection, in Southern California.
- Drop off prepared food for 50: $1,000 in North Carolina. Price does not include any service, setup or breakdown.
How do you serve food at a wedding?
Food service at your wedding will affect your catering costs and influence the atmosphere of the reception. Buffet style is more informal; plated meals are a bit fancier; family style encourages sharing. Read about the different food service styles to select your preferred wedding catering choice.
- Buffet: Caterers can drop off prepared foods for a DIY and budget-friendly buffet option where you set everything up and food is entirely self-service. For a fuller-service buffet, the caterers set up food, oversee the buffet throughout the event, and clean up afterwards. For food only, prices per person might average $16-$18, while a service buffet may start around $20-$22 per person. Adding food stations can increase per-person costs by at least $3-$5.
- Family style: Servers bring large platters of food to guest tables in courses. It's less formal (and less expensive) than a plated meal, but more formal and higher-cost than a buffet. You'll need large tables to accommodate the platters, so plan accordingly when renting furniture for the event.
- Plated: A plated event is a formal dining experience; waitstaff serve your seated guests for each course, fill their drinks, and attend to them throughout the dinner. A plated dinner is typically the most expensive option for both food and service.
- Food trucks: Similar to buffets, with food trucks your guests get their own food and bring it to their table. A food truck gives a relaxed and playful vibe to your reception.
- Cocktail reception: If you don't want a formal seated dinner, you can opt for a wide assortment of passed appetizers at an extended cocktail hour reception.
What should you look for in a caterer?
A delicious meal is a critical element of a successful wedding, with happy guests fondly remembering your fabulous wedding food. The right caterer for you will be:
- Available: Even the best caterer is no good if they aren't available on your wedding date. Ask early before you get your heart set on someone.
- Affordable for you: Find a caterer that you can afford. Having a spending plan ahead of time will mean you won't overspend on food.
- A good personality fit: Wedding planning is stressful, so work with someone that you can get along with and communicate with easily.
- Experienced and recommended: Ensure the company has a proven track record with events of your size and the references to back it up.
- Transparent about money: Steer clear of shady pricing. Find a caterer who is very clear about costs and is happy to talk you through budgets and pricing options.
- Transparent about food: Find someone who is clear about where they source their food from and where it is prepared.

Jane Bean-Folkes, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NY Jane defended her dissertation titled, Teaching African American Students Written Academic English through Writing: Three African American Students, a Researcher, and their Teachers in January. Now that the dissertation is finished, she looks forward to catching up on the various articles and books she put aside for after the dissertation and she is working on several articles from the dissertation. Jane's dissertation was an action research study between the researcher and three urban public school teachers and it examines the language learning process of three focal students producing written academic English. Her study addresses the challenges that students encounter in learning written academic English and influences on the teachers' pedagogical decisions by their assessment of students' oral and written language patterns in an attempt to raise the level of written academic English in the students' writing. It seeks to answer when an African American student uses African American Vernacular in their oral and written language, what impact if any this has on the African American student's writings, and what changes occur in the student's perception of himself as a writer because teachers are often frustrated by raising the quality of writing using written academic English. It also seeks to discover how to support language learning for African American students as well as other non-dominant language students. The methods for collecting data consist of participant-observation, semi-structured interviews, student-produced artifacts, and field notes. The study has implications for how written academic English can be effectively taught using components of balanced literacy in urban schools.In the coming year, Jane looks forward to reading, completing post-doc work at Teachers College, working as a literacy staff developer in schools, as well as teaching as an adjunct in the department of Curriculum and Teaching.

Pushed out of high school as a student in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) fundamentally shaped my scholarly interests and commitment to youth of color, dispossessed communities, and the profession of teaching. As a scholar-activist, my research draws on culturally empowering teaching, critical pedagogy, and critical social theory for a theoretical framework to improve urban teacher quality, capacity, and retention. In this high stakes, No Child Left Behind educational climate, teachers in urban schools (under)serving youth of color must make learning more culturally responsive to the lives of their students by connecting their pedagogy – what they teach, how they teach it, and why – to some of the most pressing issues facing them as they navigate their social conditions.
For my dissertation, I explored the process of developing and examining the impact of a critical, culturally responsive pedagogy by conducting a qualitative action research project as a high school English teacher. My overarching research question was, "how is critically reading the world and the word transformative for Black and Brown youth in South Los Angeles?" I am finishing the final, conclusion chapter. My findings suggest that the critical curricular inclusion of students' lived experience fostered a humanizing space, which unified our classroom community, cultivated conditions that heightened transformative thinking, and increased both their academic engagement and achievement. I hope my research will help teachers have a better understanding of how to help students critically make sense of their objective reality, problem-pose their liberation and oppression, and engage academic work that is connected to the critical needs of their community.

Ethnographic research examines how African, African American, and Caribbean youth, in a major urban Southeastern city, develop critical literacies through the practice of "air-shifting"—that is learning how to question, critique, and engage in social, political, and cultural discourse through community radio programming.
Further, this study seeks to illuminate the ways in which youth navigate their way through broadcast media, script writing and technology to communicate with their peers and adults. Through participant observation, interviews, and ethnographic field notes and video, Keisha will analyze the literacy events and practices that shape the youth radio experience and render it an opportunity for youth to develop critical literacy skills necessary for academic achievement.
The insight gained will inform classroom teaching practices that involve the teaching of literacy and language skills and constructions of democratic educational experiences inside schools.

My dissertation examines the implementation of what I call a Critical Pedagogy of Hip-Hop in the classroom of two urban high school teachers. A Critical Pedagogy of Hip-Hop encompasses an understanding of teaching as improvisational and experimental, collaborative and democratic, dialogic, critical, and evolving. I draw upon the New London Group's (1996) pedagogy of multiliteracies to understand teaching and learning as a cycle of drawing upon Available Designs, Designs, and Redesign. The larger implications of the study are that although hip-hop can be an effective tool for teaching and learning, what is more important is truly listening to youth and engaging in a praxis that takes into consideration what is important and relevant to them.
Though my dissertation work focuses on the use of hip-hop by two teachers in their teaching, my focus is not only on hip-hop. I look at the larger domain of popular culture (another topic of study is graphic novels) for its potential to inform curriculum and pedagogy. I am particularly interested in looking at how the experiences and knowledge of youth can be harnessed for critical and academic purposes and growth. I believe that many youth are disengaging from or dropping out of school because they struggle with curriculum and pedagogy that simultaneously ignores the experiences and knowledge they bring to school and seems irrelevant to their own lives. In order to prepare them to be fully participatory citizens in the 21st century, I believe that true change must occur in current educational practices.

Tisha defended her dissertation, "Family Literacy and Digital Literacies: A Redefined Approach to Examining Social Practices of an African-American Family" in April 2009. This ethnographic case study explored the multiple ways a mother and son interacted with digital literacies in the home. Situated within the framework of sociocultural traditions from New Literacy Studies and multimodality, this research asked how an African-American family in poverty enacted digital literacies in the home, how digital literacies shaped family relational practices, and how a mother and her children interchangeably apprenticed one another when engaging in digital literacies.
Themes such as agency, identity, and power through family relational practices emerged that addressed how the mother and son engaged in digital literacy practices (e.g., texting and IMing, taking apart a computer, creating blogs, or designing comic strips) as mediating tools to help them make sense of their lives. Participants demonstrated new ways in which digital literacies shaped and reshaped how they communicated, interacted and identified with one another; constructed new semiotic tools to make sense of on- and offline identities in multimodal spaces; and illustrated how asymmetrical and symmetrical relationships emerged and enhanced communication between a mother and son, changing the dynamics of family structures in literacy research and in the home. This future work seeks to examine how digital literacy practices alter traditional family literacy practices from face-to-face contact to online interactions.
Currently, Tisha is an adjunct professor at American University's School of Education, Teaching and Health, Trinity University's School of Education, as well as a lecturer at Howard University's School of Education, Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
Tisha, a 2008 recipient of the J Michael Parker Award from the National Reading Conference, is working on contributions in the following three publications: Stuart Greene and Catherine Compton-Lilly's forthcoming book, Family literacy: Complexities, concerns and considerations, Kate Pahl and Jennifer Rowsell's book, Literacy Learning through Artifacts: Every Object tells a Story (Teachers College Press) and a meta-analysis of an Integrative critical literature review of ethnographic case studies of family literacy with Catherine Compton-Lilly and Rebecca Rogers.

My dissertation, "Spanglish is Spoken Here: Making Sense of Spanish-English Code-switching and Language Ideologies in a Sixth-Grade English Language Arts Classroom," was a qualitative study of language and ideology among bilingual Latina/o sixth-graders at a middle school in East Los Angeles. I explored students' engagement in Spanish-English code-switching, a hybrid language practice that many of them referred to as "Spanglish," as well as their language ideologies with respect to this language practice. I found that students used Spanglish in creative, skillful, and intelligent ways, and that their use of Spanglish mediated both conversation and the broader social organization of the classroom, contributing to the construction of a social space in which bilingualism and hybridity were normative. I also found parallels between the skills embedded in students' use of Spanglish and the skills that they were expected to master according to California's sixth-grade English Language Arts standards. I argued that students' skillful use of Spanglish could be leveraged as a resource for helping them to develop specific academic literacy skills. In addition, I found significant variation with respect to students' language ideologies, arguing that this variation provided fertile ground for rich and transformative dialogue that could potentially help students cultivate critical literacy.
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the College of Education at the University of Texas at Austin, where I teach in the Language and Literacy Studies Program within the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. As an extension of my dissertation research, I am working with teachers to help them: (a) better understand their students' everyday language practices, (b) identify parallels between the skills that their students display through these practices and the academic literacy skills outlined in relevant state English Language Arts standards, and (c) explore ways of leveraging their students' language ideologies as resources for critical literacy development.

A doctoral candidate and fifth year student in the Curriculum and Instruction Program at Boston College. Her dissertation topic is revealed in its proposed title: Othered By English, A Smothered Spanish? - The Language Experiences of Nondominant Youth in the Context of New Immigration. Swati is presently conducting an ethnographic case study at a local urban immigrant high school where she has been an active member of the community for the past few years. In addition, from a theoretical lense, Swati is a budding researcher in the area of postcolonial studies, in particular its intersection and utility of application for problems in education. Finally, in her work with teachers and teacher education, Swati employs critical action research lenses to lead teachers into conducting youth centered inquiries into their own practices. Swati's passion lies at the nexus of working with young people, language, and culture. Swati feels truly blessed to be a part of the Cultivating New Voices community and hopes to actively give back to this community now and in the future.

I successfully defended my dissertation, "Conciencia con Compromiso: Maestra Perspectives on Teaching in Bilingual Education Classrooms," a qualitative study that uncovers the ways aspiring maestras (Latina teachers) connect their sense of self and professional choices. Theories of cultural production, cultural resources (i.e., funds of knowledge, pedagogies of the home), and Chicana feminist thought inform this research. This theoretical lens with the concept of mestiza (woman of mixed indigenous and European ancestry) consciousness at the center allows me to understand, complicate, and empathize with the strategies maestras employ to survive. As the new teachers in this study strive for satisfaction and fulfillment from teaching in bilingual education classrooms as a way to give back to their community, I argue that their sense of self is fostered through and embodied in their mestiza consciousness. In my interviews of the 10 Latina university students who participated in the study, I compiled stories of how Latina teacher candidates discern their lived and educational experiences. As I listened to these women share their accounts as cultural brokers, children of immigration, and transnational children, their stories resonated of pain, abuse, transculturation, transmigration, isolation, resolve and survival.
Building on this study, my future areas of work seek to document the struggles and transformations of youth of immigration. Youth of immigration often survive in opposition to English-only policies and historically racist institutions designed to accommodate mainstream youth. With an increase in immigration raids by Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement (ICE) officials across the U.S., I am especially interested in the experiences of children of detainees. I seek to understand how immigration shapes the national identities of children of detainees and how they navigate their educational trajectories after such assaults. This future work provides enthusiasm for shaping democratic learning environments, multiculturalism, and promoting a respect for the dignity of all learners.
Mentor: Maria Franquiz, UTSA, San Antonio, TX
Enid Rosario-Ramos, Northwestern University, Evanston, ILMy research attempts to uncover the relationships between critical literacy skills and participation in community building efforts. In communities that have historically been minoritized, it often becomes necessary to engage young people in the analysis and critique of the social structures that create inequality and the texts that embed these power relations. It is also necessary to provide them with structured opportunities for their active engagement in the reconstruction of these social structures and their corresponding textual representations as people navigate disparities and create better lives for their families. Schools have traditionally not serve as spaces where students can critically analyze the socio-political histories and cultural life and practices of their communities and actively participate in the process of reading, and rewriting, their world (Freire, 1970). The research study explores the role of communities and community-based institutions in fostering critical literacy among urban youth. Moreover, I explore how schools can become spaces where students are encouraged to critically examine society and provided with structured opportunities to enact change within their communities. Ethnographic observations, think-aloud protocols and interviews will be conducted with adolescents attending an alternative community-based urban school that has a long tradition of organizing and structuring community building projects in a largely Latino neighborhood. I will closely examine how the multiple contexts where students interact within this community provide them with opportunities to deconstruct and negotiate issues of inequality.

Spencer Salas, UNC-Charlotte, Charlotte, NCI am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Middle, Secondary, and K-12 Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I bring ethnographic methods of participant observation to New Latino South classrooms to theorize teachers' engagement with the multiple and interactive contexts of their professional activity. My dissertation research in North Georgia examined the wide variety of tensions that complicated two-year college remedial ESL faculty members' fluctuating understandings of who they were as professionals and what their work achieved. More recently, in metro Charlotte, my work with an 8th grade language arts teacher theorizes how her "history-in-person" as a struggling reader shapes her interaction with at risk students and the literature curriculum. Additionally, I collaborate extensively with the Center for Latino Achievement and Success in Education (CLASE) at the University of Georgia—developing cultural-historical theory for praxis as it relates to Latino children in U.S. schools.

My study examined the intended and implemented diversity content of a teacher education institution, its faculty, and factors that influence their discourse and practices regarding diversity. My case study comprised two phases. The first phase (entitled Word for Word: An analysis of the written diversity content of a teacher education institution) involved a content analysis of institutional and programmatic documents (e.g. mission statements, syllabi, and vitae) focused on the documents' inclusion of terminology and concepts related to diversity and multicultural education.
The second phase of the study (entitled Mission possible? An analysis of the intended and implemented diversity content of a teacher education institution) built upon the document analysis and included interviews, focus groups, and observations used to investigate how the written and articulated rhetoric was implemented by faculty in their teaching. I also determined the factors that advanced, limited, or prevented diversity discourse and practices within the institution. Cumulatively, this work aims to add texture to our knowledge of faculty narratives and institutional factors affecting their work as it pertains to their understanding and implementation of diversity and multicultural education.
In addition to examining the intended and implemented curriculum, I am currently preparing to explore the received curriculum. The third phase of my research seeks to ascertain the received curriculum of the teacher preparation program's graduates to more fully understand what learning regarding diversity and multicultural education is actually captured by students over the course of their program of study. I anticipate that determining the intended, implemented, and received research will illuminate who is teaching the teachers and the subsequent influence on classroom teachers' quality and critical consciousness regarding the education of their students.

As a doctoral candidate in the Joint Program in English and Education (JPEE) at the University of Michigan, I have served as a consultant, facilitator, and research associate on many projects. Over the past five years, I have collaboratively written national educational policy research briefs (NCTE Squire Policy Research Office), trained teachers and literacy coaches who work with English language learners (Michigan Department of Education ELL Task Force), co-designed effective professional development based on the articulated needs of English teachers (Literacy in Action Project), and helped to create curricula for argumentative reasoning and writing tasks (Michigan Argument Research Group).
My dissertation, *Conflict in 21st Century English Learning Contexts: Negotiating Solidarity, Identity, and Social Change*, explores discourse conflicts in schooling and society, and the ways that teachers and students negotiate literate identities, social solidarities, and social change within the complexity of early 21st century classroom interaction. The site of the study, the Pinnacle Classroom Discourse Study Group (PCDSG), was the center of an innovative collaborative action research effort during the 2007-2008 school year. Teachers and administrators at a school invested in closing the racial achievement gap invited me to conduct a series of workshops on classroom discourse analysis. This interactional ethnography tells the story of seven English Language Arts teachers as they learned how to analyze their own and their colleagues' classroom talk. Multiple perspectives are represented in the dissertation, including that of selected teacher-participants, myself as the researcher-facilitator, and the group as a collective. Discourse analytic methods taught in the PCDSG workshops and used for analyzing data included systemic functional linguistics (SFL), critical discourse analysis, and positioning theory. Theories about silence and third space, language ideology, and critical race theory further informed my analyses. My goal is to implement, facilitate, and research similar discourse study groups that extend and supplement the Courageous Conversations model of attaining equity in schools and communities.

How to Create an Invoice from an Estimate in QuickBooks 2011
Progress billing occurs when you actually invoice, or bill, a customer for a portion of an amount that you've previously estimated. For example, take a peek at the Create Estimates window in QuickBooks 2011. Suppose that this window records an estimate in QuickBooks that a client has asked you to supply. Further suppose, just for purposes of this discussion, that the estimate is for a consulting job that you're doing.
If you want to later bill the consulting client for the actual work, you click the Create Invoice button that appears along the top edge of the Create Estimates window. QuickBooks displays the Create Progress Invoice Based on Estimate dialog box. This dialog box lets you create an invoice by using the estimate information.
If you select Create Invoice for the Entire Estimate (100%), QuickBooks creates one invoice that uses all the information from the Create Estimates window. Alternatively, you can select one of the other option buttons to bill only a portion of the estimate. For example, you can select the Create Invoice for a Percentage of the Entire Estimate radio button and then enter the percentage into the % of Estimate box. In this case, QuickBooks bills the customer for some specified percentage of the estimate. Alternatively, you can also select the Create Invoice for Selected Items or for Different Percentages of Each Item radio button. In this case, QuickBooks lets you specify that different percentages of the items shown on the estimate should be billed.
When you click OK, QuickBooks either creates the invoice by using the estimate information, or, if you indicated that you wanted to specify different percentages for different items on the invoice, QuickBooks displays the Specify Invoice Amounts for Items on Estimate dialog box. You use the Amount column to specify a portion of the estimated amount that you want to bill on the progress invoice.
If you select the Show Quantity and Rate check box on the Specify Invoice Amounts for Items on Estimate dialog box, QuickBooks adds columns to the dialog box that let you see quantity and rate information. Similarly, if you select the Show Percentage check box, QuickBooks adds columns to the dialog box that show percentages. You probably don't need this extra information, but if it's important to be very precise on your invoice, you may want to experiment with these additional columns of information.

Fifteen or twenty years ago, when my daughter was in elementary school, we visited Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We toured the city, saw the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's house, and ate some cheese steak sandwiches. Of course, we didn't miss Independence Hall, either. The tour was guided. When we came to the room where the Continental Congress delegates met, my daughter raised her hand and asked to see in which chair Matthew Thornton sat. The other tourists looked puzzled but the guide smiled and said "YOU must be from New Hampshire!"
He is not as famous as Thomas Jefferson, or John Hancock, or Benjamin Franklin, but nonetheless little Londonderry, New Hampshire produced Dr. Matthew Thornton. Like many other Nutfield Settlers, he was born in Northern Ireland, and immigrated when only three years old first to Wiscasset, Maine and then to Worcester, Massachusetts before settling in a part of Londonderry now known as Derry in 1740. He was a physician, justice of the peace, and a member of the militia. Locally, he was a Londonderry selectman, a representative to the Provincial Assembly, and the first President of the Committee of Safety which produced New Hampshire's first draft of its constitution after the royal government was dissolved.
Later he was elected to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. He arrived too late to participate in the debates, but he did sign the Declaration of Independence. He became the first president of the new New Hampshire House of Representatives. He retired from his medical practice in 1780 and removed across the river to the part of Merrimack, New Hampshire known as Thornton's Ferry. He died on 24 June 1803 whilst staying with his daughter in Newburyport, Massachusetts, but he is buried in the Thornton Cemetery in Merrimack with his wife and other members of the family.
According to myth, Dr. Thornton had promised Hannah Jack he would marry her when she was a child unwilling to take some nasty medication. She was 18 and he was 46 years old when they married. Her family members were also Scots-Irish Presbyterians.
Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, six arrived in time to only sign (not participate in drafting the document), eight were foreign born (three were born in Ireland), and four were doctors. Matthew Thornton was all three of these! There is a memorial to Dr. Thornton along Rt. 3 in Merrimack, a plaque in front of his home in Derry, and a school named in his honor in Londonderry. The town of Thornton, New Hampshire was named for Dr. Matthew Thornton.
Across the street from this graveyard on Daniel Webster Highway stands the Thornton homestead. It was a tavern style restaurant in named "Hannah Jack's" but it is now part of the Common Man Restaurant chain. If you stop by the restaurant, the rooms are decorated with information and images from the Thornton family, especially Matthew Thornton. The staff will gladly show you around!
Matthew Thornton's family tree:
Generation 1: James Thornton, born about 1684 in Northern Ireland, died 7 November 1754 in Londonderry, New Hampshire; married to Elizabeth Jenkins, arrived in Boston on 17 August 1718 from Northern Ireland. Eight children, including:
Generation 2: Matthew Thornton, born about 1714 in Northern Ireland and died 24 June 2803 in Newburyport, Massachusetts; married in 1760 to Hannah Jack, daughter of Andrew Jack and Mary Morrison of Chester, New Hampshire, born 1742 and died 5 December 1786, Five children:
1. James, b.20 December 1763 in Londonderry and married to Mary Parker
2. Andrew, b. about 1766 in Londonderry, died 22 April 1787
3. Mary, b. 1768 in Londonderry, married to Hon. Silas Betton of Salem, New Hampshire
4. Mathew, b. 1770 in Londonderry and married to Fanny Curtis
5. Hannah, b. 25 Jul 1774 in Merrimack, married to John McGraw, of Newburyport, Massachusetts

DETROIT – Mercedes officially rolls out its new C-Class at the North American International Auto Show here, touting its new features and luxurious interior as it tries to establish the former-entry level car as a more upmarket choice now that the lower-priced CLA has been slotted below it.
Mercedes has taken the unprecedented step of offering its most advanced semi-autonomous-driving technology on the C-Class, just months after it was first featured in the automaker's flagship S-Class model.
Called "Stop & Go Pilot," the system can drive the car briefly and make emergency stops if the driver is temporarily distracted. It also can autonomously follow a car ahead of it in slow traffic, including braking, accelerating and steering.
"This is the only car in its class that offers semi-autonomous features like the Stop & Go Pilot," says Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche.
The new C-Class is more than 200 lbs. (91 kg) lighter than its predecessor and claimed to be the most aerodynamic in its class, with a coefficient of drag of 0.24. It is available with two dramatically different "faces" that offer consumers a more traditional Mercedes grille or a sportier grille resembling that on the CLA.
The C-Class is the German automaker's highest-volume car in the world and its biggest seller in the U.S. "We are very proud that the new C-Class will also be the first German car in this segment built for the U.S. right here in the U.S., in our plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama," Zetsche says.
Mercedes has been building SUVs and CUVs in the U.S. for almost 20 years. BMW also produces CUVs in the U.S. at a facility in South Carolina.
Besides gushing about the virtues of the new C-Class interior, executives also reveal at the show:
- A highly styled concept version of the upcoming S-Class Coupe.
- The S 600 limousine, sporting a twin-turbo 523 hp V-12 and designed to be "the best car money can buy."
- The GLA 45 AMG, a high-performance compact CUV based on the AMG version of the CLA sedan.

Math is not about crunching numbers; true math is about pattern recognition. This does not mean that mastering basic calculations is not important. Learning math facts is like learning the alphabet. A child who must sound out words syllable by syllable is not able to comprehend a reading passage. Likewise, a child who struggles to complete basic computations is not able to recognize new mathematical relationships.

Billy Vunipola has received support from the Evangelical Alliance in the wake of the storm created by his defence of a homophobic Instagram post by Israel Folau.
Vunipola has been summoned to talks with the Rugby Football Union to discuss a post on his own account that includes the line "Man was made for woman to pro create that was the goal no?".
England's number eight was acting in support of Australia full-back and fellow devout Christian Folau, who stated on social media that "hell awaits" for "homosexuals".
Peter Lynas, a spokesperson for the Evangelical Alliance – the oldest and largest evangelical unity movement in the UK – defends Vunipola's position and asks whether religious beliefs are also being accommodated by rugby's drive for diversity.
"Billy Vunipola has expressed the view of evangelical Christians on marriage and quoted the Bible in the process," Lynas told Press Association Sport
"He made clear in his post that he was far from perfect himself and doesn't hate anyone. For this he is now being condemned and threatened with disciplinary action.
"Is he being disciplined for quoting scripture? For holding orthodox Christian beliefs or just for expressing them? Do rugby players have freedom of religion or is this another faith-free zone?
"As rugby celebrates diversity and inclusion, does this allow for orthodox Christian beliefs, or is that the one view you must not have?"
The RFU is refusing to provide any details for its meeting with Vunipola, insisting it remains a private matter.
Twickenham has also been wary at this stage of saying whether disciplinary action will be taken, but if it is decided to pursue the matter further, it would most likely be under the broad charge of 'bringing the game into disrepute'.
Saracens are conducting their own investigation after declaring Vunipola has failed to meet his responsibility as a representative of the club, while condemnation of his view has also come from Premiership Rugby and the Rugby Players' Association.
On Saturday the 26-year-old, whose mum is a Methodist minister, was booed during his appearance as a second-half replacement against Bristol, who also played gay anthem 'It's Raining Men' on their PA system.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said "I'm sure there's stuff going on in his head" but will pick him for Saturday's European semi-final against Munster at Allianz Park.
Channel 4, meanwhile, have removed him as one of the faces of their Heineken Champions Cup coverage.
Folau has been told by Rugby Australia that he is in breach of its code of conduct and will have his four-year contract terminated, subject to the 48-hour window for him to appeal.
Wallabies head coach Michael Cheika has ended Folau's international career by revealing his comments on social media – his second such infringement – mean he cannot be selected.
Folau is unrepentant over the post, which – along with Vunipola's – remains visible, adding that: "I believe His plans for me are better than whatever I can think. If that's not to continue on playing, so be it."

Hoarder Property Cleaning
Complete Environmental Services provide a Hoarder Property Cleaning, rubbish removal & disposal service for both commercial & domestic customers in Hetton-le-Hole and the rest of the UK. Hoarding is often in extreme cases a mental illness, commonly known as OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and in these cases the individual is often unaware that they are doing it. It has become a 'natural' thing for them to be doing. Hoarder Property Cleaning is a specialised field in which we have the training and experience to deal with effectively and sensitively.
Hoarding comes in varying degrees, and come happen over a short period of time or sometimes it lasts a lifetime. Unfortunately in extreme cases, even human and animal waste is 'hoarded' which brings on the problem of pests like rodents, flies and lice.
When faced with hoarding it can be upsetting and a bit bewildering, and not only affects the individual, but the landlord, family member or friend who are often left to deal with the problem. The task of cleaning hoarder situations is challenging and impossible for any individual untrained to deal with the cleaning, decontamination and odour removal.
In addition, there are several legal requirements which need to be adhered to when locating and safely eliminating biohazards such as blood, body fluids and needlesticks which when mishandled can contribute to serious illnesses if adequate precautions are not taken.

Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS 15
The Town Hall Bulletin of January 15,
1923, devotes some space to sayings of
former prominent men whose lives and
works are commemorated by the dedication
of chairs in the Town Hall. Included
among the list of those whose birthdays fall
in January is the following:
"Charles Waldo Haskins, January 11, 1852.
'Accounting as a progressive science, must be
the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, except
that as a development it is older and wiser as
time goes on.' "
At a luncheon for Dodge Brothers
Dealers held at the Pennsylvania Hotel,
New York, Tuesday, January 9, 1923,
which some of our members from the
Executive Offices were privileged to attend,
one of the features of the entertainment
following the luncheon was a car-assembling
contest. Two teams of eight men
each, composed of veteran employes of
Dodge Brothers, were chosen for this performance
because of long and faithful
service as well as skill. The two teams
were designated and costumed: one as the
blue team; the other as the white team.
From the various parts comprising a Dodge
Brothers car each team, at a given signal,
began the work of assembly. The blue
team put the car together, started the en-

Tularemia is an infection common in wild rodents that is passed to humans through contact with infected animal tissues or by ticks, biting flies, and mosquitoes.
Deerfly fever; Rabbit fever; Pahvant Valley plague; Ohara disease; Yato-byo (Japan); Lemming fever
Tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis.
Humans can get the disease through:
The disorder most commonly occurs in North America and parts of Europe and Asia. Although outbreaks can occur in the United States, they are rare.
Some people may develop pneumonia after breathing in infected dirt or plant material. This is known to occur on Martha's Vineyard, where bacteria are present in rabbits, raccoons, and skunks.
Francisella tularensis is considered a potential bioterrorism agent. An aerosol release would be a possible method of infection. Pneumonia cases would start 1 - 10 days after people were exposed.
The incubation period is 3 to 5 days after exposure. The illness usually starts suddenly, and may continue for several weeks after symptoms begin.
This disease may also affect the results of febrile agglutinins and some tests for infectious mononucleosis.
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection with antibiotics. Streptomycin and tetracycline are commonly used to treat this infection. Once daily gentamicin treatment has been tried with excellent results as an alternative therapy to streptomycin. However, because this is a rare disease, only a few cases have been studied to-date.
Tetracycline and chloramphenicol can be used alone, but they have a high relapse rate and are not considered a first-line treatment.
Note: Oral tetracycline is usually not prescribed for children until after all their permanent teeth have come in. It can permanently discolor teeth that are still forming.
Tularemia is fatal in about 5% of untreated cases, and in less than 1% of treated cases.
Call your health care provider if symptoms develop after a rodent bite, tick bite, or exposure to the flesh of a wild animal.
A vaccine is recommended for people at high risk (trappers, hunters, and laboratory workers who work with the bacteria).

HyPix-3000 is a next-generation two-dimensional semiconductor hybrid pixel array detector (HPAD), pixel size of 100 um², designed specifically to meet the needs of the home lab diffractionist.

Rigaku nano3DX is a true X-ray microscope (XRM) with the ability to deliver 3D computed tomography (CT) images of relatively large samples at high resolution. This is accomplished by using a high powered rotating anode X-ray source and a high-resolution CCD detector. The rotating anode provides for fast data acquisition and the ability to switch anode materials easily to optimize contrast for specific sample types.
|In the nano3DX, the magnification takes place in the detector using true microscope elements. This design places the sample close to a high-resolution detector, allowing for a near-parallel beam experiment. This means greater instrument stability and shorter data collection times providing the highest resolution of any X-ray microscope in its class.
The nano3DX design is a vast improvement over older implementations that use a small source and a long sample-to-detector distance. This geometric magnification requires a very small source and extreme stability to prevent smearing. Data acquisition times can be quite long because small sources are also low power.
The graph at the right shows the three primary anode materials available for use in the nano3DX: chromium, copper and molybdenum, and the effects they have on the experiment. As the energy of the X-ray radiation rises penetration increases but contrast for low atomic weight materials goes down. For bone and silicates, Mo is preferred but for carbon-containing materials, Cu or Cr is preferred. This flexibility is essential to obtaining high-quality, high-contrast images quickly.
Mouse fibula at high resolution
|The nano3DX is ideally suited to the analysis of bone samples at submicron resolution. One of the important features of the nano3DX is the ability to look at large samples at high resolution. In the example below, an entire mouse fibula was analyzed with the nano3DX, the first time a whole bone analysis has been performed.
|Parallel beam geometry and the ability of the nano3DX to obtain rapid high-contrast images allowed for the collection of the full tomogram of the bone from the proximal to distal ends. With each slice, the structures in the bone are clearly visible, including the softer cartilage at the proximal end. The scale bars are 50 μm long in each of the insets and the bone itself is approximately 12 mm long. The bone marrow, microvessels and osteocyte lacunae are clearly depicted.
|Below is shown the analysis of a single pharmaceutical particle from a capsule. The first image is a single slice through the reconstruction. The second image is an interior tomogram of the particle at 0.54 μm/voxel. The last image displays a rendering of an analysis of the pores in the sample, color coded by size (red largest, green smallest).
Ultra wide field of view
At right is shown an example of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). The fibers are 7 μm in diameter. The image is 1.8 mm x 1.8 mm by 1.4 mm with a voxel size of 0.54 μm. The volume is represented by 3300 x 3300 x 2500 voxels. This volume is 25X larger than the measurable volume from a single scan from other systems at this resolution in a comparable time frame.
High resolution
The two dimensional (2D) resolving power is shown directly in the images above with a transmission image of a test pattern at 0.27 μm per pixel in which lines at 0.6 μm are resolved.

Figuring Out the Excel 2007 Formula Bar
The Formula bar in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 displays the cell address and the contents of the current cell. Use the Formula bar to enter or edit formulas and cell entries and assign names to cells.
The Formula bar appears just below the Ribbon and is divided into three sections:
Name box: The left-most section that displays the address of the current cell
Formula bar buttons: The middle section that displays an indented circle on the left (used to narrow or widen the Name box) with the Function Wizard button (labeled fx) on the right; you also see a Cancel (an X) and an Enter (a check mark) button in this middle section of the Formula bar when you enter or edit cell data
Cell contents: The third, right-most white area to the immediate right of the Function Wizard button that takes up the rest of the bar and expands down as necessary for lengthy cell entriesWhat you type appears in the current cell and on the Formula bar.
The cell address is determined by its column letter(s) followed by the row number as in cell A1, the very first cell of each worksheet at the intersection of column A and row 1. The contents of the current cell are determined by the type of entry you make there: text or numbers if you just enter a label or a particular value, and the nuts and bolts of a formula if you enter a calculation.
When it comes to labeling the 16,384 columns of an Excel 2007 worksheet, our alphabet with its measly 26 letters is simply not up to the task. To make up the difference, Excel first doubles the letters in the cell's column reference so that column AA follows column Z (after which you find column AB, AC, and so on) and then triples them so that column AAA follows column ZZ (after which you get column AAB, AAC, and the like). At the end of this letter tripling, the 16,384th and last column of the worksheet ends up being XFD so that the last cell in the 1,048,576th row has the cell address XFD1048576.

Obamacare: House Hearing on the IRS's Illegal Taxing, Borrowing & Spending
As Jonathan Adler and I detail in our Health Matrix article, "Taxation Without Representation: The Illegal IRS Rule to Expand Tax Credits Under the PPACA," the Obama administration is attempting to rescue Obamacare from oblivion by literally taxing, borrowing, and spending more than $700 billion without congressional authorization. In a recent letter to the editor of the Washington Post, I explain how these illegal taxes are already hurting workers.
On July 25, chairmen of the House Ways & Means Committee, the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform, and two Oversight subcommittees sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew demanding information related to the illegal tax-credit rule.
The House Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care has announced it will hold a hearing this Wednesday, July 31, on the IRS's illegal tax-credit rule titled, "Oversight of IRS's Legal Basis for Expanding ObamaCare's Taxes and Subsidies." Adler will testify alongside Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt and Missouri physician and small business owners Charles Willey, each of whom has filed suit to block the IRS's illegal rule.

Covering about 70% of the Earth's surface, the world's oceans
have a two-way relationship with weather and climate. The oceans
influence the weather on local to global scales, while changes in
climate can fundamentally alter many properties of the oceans.
Although the oceans help reduce climate change by storing large
amounts of carbon dioxide, increasing levels of dissolved carbon are
changing the chemistry of seawater and making it more acidic. Increased
ocean acidity makes it more difficult for certain organisms, such as
corals and shellfish, to build their skeletons and shells. These
effects, in turn, could substantially alter the biodiversity and
productivity of ocean ecosystems.
