The Senate delivered some good news to the geoscience community yesterday, boosting the funds for National Science Foundation (NSF) research activities in the geosciences by 12.3 percent above last year's allocation. The Senate-proposed budget rejects the Bush administration budget's controversial program transfers to NSF, and gives funding to Earthscope -- a scientific survey to study the structure of and physical processes that control the North American continent.
In the president's budget plan, NSF would have received $691.1 million for research in the Geoscience Directorate, a 5 percent increase from spending last year. However, nearly 4 percent of that increase would have come from a proposed transfer of three programs from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), rather than from core programs. But the Senate rejected these transfers, calling for NSF to receive a transfer-free $684.5 million dollars for research activities in the geosciences. "In lieu of the transfer, the Committee is directing that the funds provided be used to augment high priority research activities in the earth, atmospheric, and ocean sciences," says the Senate bill.
In last year's request, President Bush did not recommend any new start-up initiatives for the Major Research Equipment (MRE) account, but this time around he requested $35 million funds for Earthscope for the coming fiscal year. The Senate met this request by allotting $20 million for Earthscope. Earthscope is the first geoscience initiative to ever request money from the MRE account, which funds high-price research equipment being used over several years. Historically, the MRE account has largely gone to fund large-scale physics and astronomy projects. The only Senate contingency is that, as the only new program in the MRE account, Earthscope can only receive funding if NSF hires a Deputy Director for Large Facility Projects, a position the agency has been trying to fill for the last year.
NSF spending falls under the Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies (VA/HUD) appropriations bill. The $91.4 billion in total VA/HUD funds covers spending for housing, veterans and science programs, including the EPA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Senate bill would provide $8.3 billion for the EPA and $15.2 billion for NASA. FEMA's pre-disaster mitigation and flood-map modernization programs would receive just over $300 million under the Senate bill.
In the last several weeks, the Senate and House appropriations committees have also passed appropriations bills for the Department of the Interior, providing a substantial increase from the Bush budget in funding USGS programs. While the full House has passed its Interior apporpriations, the full Senate has yet to vote. Visit the Geotimes Web site in the next few weeks for more on USGS funding.

Li & Sa is a show inspired by Buddhist philosophy, a mixture of traditional Korean music, Buddhist dance, and mantras with the canons of modern art. Live performance is intertwined with electronic music, and the sounds are accompanied by pervasive, engrossing visualizations.
Li & Sa project was created by the Be-being collective, composed of the most prominent Korean musicians playing traditional and modern music: Jang Young-gyu - composer (known to the Polish audience as the bass player of UhUhBoo Project), and virtuosos of traditional Koran instruments: Park Soon-a, Na Won-il, Chun Ji-yoon, Shin Won-young and Lee Seung-hee – master of the Korean opera, pansori.
One of the co-authors of the project is Jeong Gak, a young Buddhist monk, who is also one of the performers. The show is a reflection of modern sensibility, shaped by the knowledge of old art forms and their resonance in the present. It is an attempt at understanding Buddhist philosophy embodied in art, and at reinterpreting traditional Buddhist music and dance from the perspective of modern art.
The title Li & Sa refers to the notions of Do-li (reason) and Sa-sang (phenomenon), which are two different but complementary aspects of Buddhist philosophy. Li represents the intellectual path towards consciousness, Sa is an affectionate path towards sympathy. This duality is present in all Buddhist rituals and musical practices.
Be-being's process of making music explains some of the magic present in the show. The artists choose a leading motif from traditional music and transform it into elaborate musical sequences, singing, rhythm, and image – a total art, a new, interdisciplinary art form based on traditional Korean music and visual arts.
Be-Being created soundtracks for many Korean films. They are known for their cooperation with Park Chan-wook whose "Bitter, Sweet, Seoul" (South Korea, 2014), co-directed with his brother Park Chan-kyong, is a unique project dedicated to the Koran capital, made in cooperation with internauts and Be-being. A screening of the film, attended by the artists, will take place on 19th October.

Across the country, municipalities provide citizens with the basic services they expect from their local government. With so many facilities and services provided for the public, municipalities face concerns related to capturing pollutants and hazardous chemical spills as well as enacting proper stormwater management protocol. City fueling stations, sanitation services and other municipal facilities must be prepared to address these difficulties, or else face consequences for non-compliance to state, EPA and SPCC regulations. Municipal facilities are targets for inspection by state, and federal governing agencies making your facilities held to a higher level scrutiny. CF-S's highly experienced team is here to help you face these difficulties with certainty and 100% compliance.
If your facility has an Oil Water Separator (OWS), we can show you how you can cut the costly servicing of this critical tool in half and bring about much needed awareness to your facility operations. Not many Safety products can lay claim to reducing annual maintenance cost, CF-S products can and will free up operations around your facility to utilize more of your operations than ever before.
We at CF-S have also worked with Municipalities and Governing bodies to help develop codes and processes that make sense and serve the overall goal of maintaining clean stormwater runoff within their communities. Sometimes implementing key practices and products into governing codes or the permitting process can ensure that facilities within the community can better achieve the overall goal of clean stormwater being released from their outflows.
At Containment & Filtration Solutions, our team understands your risk for spills, chemical residue, sediment and trash contamination that contribute to watershed failures. That being said, CF-S is happy to provide products that complement your regulations for existing best management practices (BMP's) to offer leading-edge SPCC solutions and EPA compliance for stormwater runoff, in turn strengthening your chain of safety one link at a time. CF-S offers top-of-the-line containment and filtration products that offer 100% compliance to EPA and SPCC regulations.
We know your facility must use various chemicals to operate efficiently. This means you face risks and non-compliance issues if these elements enter into waterways via stormwater systems. If you are interested in learning more about how Containment & Filtration Solutions' EPA-approved products can add an extra layer of environmental protection to your city codes and permitting process, please reach out to our experienced team today!
These and other materials municipalities utilize can severely impact environmental safety and come with large compliance fines. This being the case, it is essential to contain spills and hazardous stormwater in order to ensure compliance. That's where Containment & Filtration Solutions can lend a helping hand.

Marriage solemnised in Australia
A total of 12.7 million (79.5%) of eligible Australians expressed their views with respect to the same-sex marriage proposal, with the majority of 61.6% indicating that the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry. The Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Act 2017 (Cth) commenced on 9 December 2017. The Act amended the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) (Marriage Act) to redefine marriage as the union of two people to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life (s 5 Marriage Act). The legal conditions for marriage are now the same throughout Australia. For example a couple must wait a one-month period to marry after giving an authorised celebrant a completed Notice of Intended Marriage form (s 42(1)(a) Marriage Act).
Marriage solemnised in a foreign country
From 9 December 2017, the Marriage Act recognises any existing and any future same-sex marriages solemnised outside of Australia under the law of a foreign country. The amendments to the Marriage Act also acknowledge any same-sex marriage solemnised by a diplomatic or consular officer under the law of a foreign country before 9 December 2017 (pt 5A Marriage Act).
A couple whose foreign same-sex marriage that became recognised from 9 December 2017 cannot marry each other again in Australia.

FLIR Systems Announces Upgraded FLIR identiFINDER R440, Next-Generation Handheld Radionuclide Identification Device
New High-Performance Detectors and Advanced Algorithms Identify Radioactive Threats Faster and from Farther Away
ARLINGTON, VA, February 24, 2021 ― FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) has announced the launch of the upgraded FLIR identiFINDER® R440, the next-generation of its field-trusted premium handheld radiation detection system. The new identiFINDER R440 delivers dramatically improved resolution and sensitivity, so operators can identify and respond to radiological threats faster and with greater accuracy.
The R440 now includes two powerful detector options. A high-resolution Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr) variant delivers up to two-and-a-half times the resolution of the earlier R400 model, while an exotic, new material called 'CLLBC' enables up to six times the neutron sensitivity and higher gamma performance than standard Sodium Iodide (NaI). A new spectroscopic algorithm, flexible power management, and industry-leading communication options on the R440 will enable operators to safely locate and measure radioactive sources with confidence.
"The newly advanced identiFINDER R440 provides uniquely accurate radiological performance for customers' most demanding missions," said Dr. David Cullin, vice president in the Sensor Systems business at FLIR. "The rugged R440 builds on the R400's legacy. Combined with new power upgrades, the system will allow users from the military, homeland security, public safety agencies, and commercial entities to operate in harsh environments for longer periods.
"With more than 40,000 devices deployed worldwide, users have come to trust the precision and reliability of FLIR identiFINDER handheld devices as a powerful tool in combating deadly threats," Cullin added.
When threat detection occurs, rapidly communicating results is critical. Remote data viewing, operation, and reach-back is made possible on the R440 through communication features including the FLIR RAD Mobile App, the company's trusted web interface, and a universal API that enables integration with user-deployed networks such as the Mobile Field Kit, ATAK, Sigma Edge, Safe Environment Gateway, and more. The identiFINDER R440 also has built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS technology. Single-hand operation via three-button control is a familiar interface for existing identiFINDER users, simplifying deployment and training requirements.
The R440 features improved ruggedization, including enhanced drop protection in accordance with ANSI 42.34 standards, as well as dust and water ingress protection at the IP-67 level. With hot-swappable 7-hour lithium-ion batteries and AA-battery power option, the system can operate continuously for even the longest missions.
FLIR unveiled the identiFINDER R440 at the CBRNE Convergence virtual trade show and conference. The new FLIR identiFINDER R440 is available for order now and is shipping immediately. To learn more, visit http://www.flir.com/r440.

Police plead: "Don't tell children we're the bad guys"
Police aren't the bad guys so why do so many parents scare kids about stories that if they're naughty they'll be put in jail?
I think a few people will admit to this "crime" – using a threat like "if you're wicked the police will come around and put you in jail".
Now police in the UK have launched a campaign to stop this parenting crime because kids should know that police are the good guys.
The force's media and marketing team devised the notice which was based on a similar campaign in the US.
Over the weekend the poster was viewed 3.5million times on Facebook, shared by 54,000 users and 'liked' by another 37,000.
The unnamed traffic policeman who features in the poster said: "I am flattered by the attention it has received but at the heart of this is a very important message.
"Children should be taught from an early age that if they feel like are in danger and they need help they can approach an officer who will reassure them.
I am pretty sure I have seen similar messages shared on our own Aussie police force pages. It certainly makes sense!
I must admit I have been guilty of dropping the "the policeman will growl at you" line a couple of times. Even though we do drum it into the kids that if they are ever scared to make sure they look for a police officer.

Question: I started selling real estate several years ago after my husband and I became "empty nesters." I love it and I have carved out a pretty good niche for myself working with senior citizens who are relocating into and out of our area. My husband has decided to accept an early retirement offer from his employer and is considering several second career possibilities. His first choice at this point is to enroll in a local real estate licensing school, get his license, and sell real estate.
Here's my challenge. He keeps using phrases like: "We would make a great team." Is this a common arrangement, and aren't there some inherent problems in wife - husband real estate sales teams? He's been a very successful bureaucrat, but to be honest I'm not certain he can adapt completely to a competitive, free enterprise business environment. I'm currently making more annually than he does in his government job, and I don't want to do anything to mess it up.
Answer: "Dear Abby" and I have an agreement. I don't give personal advice and she shies away from answering real estate career questions. In this one, however, I will get perilously close to stepping over the line. Fortunately, I have some personal experience to rely upon. When I was actively selling real estate as my second career after retiring from the Air Force, my wife and I worked together as a team. She got her license and joined me shortly after we also became empty nesters. It can be very enjoyable and extremely rewarding, but there are some very serious cautions you need to consider.
Don't Pour Sand In Your Career Carburetor. Let me make this point very clearly first. Within the context of maintaining tranquil domestic relations, do not do anything to disrupt the well oiled machine you have put together in your personal real estate career. You've done something that some Realtors never achieve in a life time - you've carved out a clear cut, identifiable market niche that you really enjoy and it is paying off big time. As I am sure you've found, the more clients and customers whose needs you satisfy successfully, the more business that will come your way and the more money you will earn. It's a great long term annuity for you if you keep making deposits - do not jeopardize it.
Be Gentle. Here's one of the biggest inter personal challenges in situations such as you envision. Some men find it a bit difficult to operate in an environment where their spouses are the top banana. That's become less and less of a problem as our society has become more enlightened regarding life in the workplace, but it can still be sensitive. Just recognizing that it can pose a problem is often enough to insure that delicate egos are not trampled upon.
Interestingly enough, a local brokerage has two very successful women who are managing co-brokers. They've been with the company since it was opened and it has evolved from a single office with about a dozen agents to a three office operation with over seventy agents total. Each has a husband who works as a Realtor in the same organization. It works out extremely well, and I am aware of similar situations in others brokerages around the country. In the same brokerage there is a husband and wife combination who operate completely as a team. Again, it seems to work out fine, and they are among the top producers in the firm.
Tap the Talent. When my wife and I worked together she did a lot of the prospecting and acted as the firm's Referral Director. She did get several extremely desirable listings on her own. As a matter of fact the biggest check I ever collected was as a result of selling one of her listings, a large farm in a beautiful setting. Yes, she occasionally reminds me of that. She actually preferred working behind the scenes. I will also admit she had one slight deficiency as a sales person - when someone said "no" to her she took it personally. I, on the other hand, did not. Here's the point. If you and your husband do decide to team up, be very honest with each other on who has the talent to do specific jobs best, and let that be your guide.
Happiness Is A Joint Banking Account. A husband and wife who got their licenses through the program I teach in the evening program at the local community college are very successful agents in a nearby community. They specialize in residential property. They operate together on some projects, but in the main pursue their own listings and sales. She is a very bright, energetic, competitive person with a successful background in sales.

Soak up the sunshine in Montpellier, capital of France's Hérault region, in a whirlwind city break!
Hop on a direct flight from Bordeaux and explore a city brimming with things to see and do! A spectacular historic old town, enchanting buildings and a jam-packed calendar of events make Montpellier a dazzling destination just waiting to be discovered. Prepare for the trip of a lifetime!
MONTPELLIER-MEDITERRANEE
Montpellier (MPL)
Mon. 16 Sep
The ancient city of Montpellier is scattered with spectacular buildings and architecture. Wander down the medieval streets in the historic Écusson district and marvel at the city's major sights. The Place de la Comédie, the Saint-Pierre cathedral, the Jewish mikveh, the gorgeous fountains, the medicine faculty building and the Peyrou are all portals that'll whisk you away back through the mists of time.
Stop off at some fascinating museums
It's all about culture in Montpellier. Galleries and artistic hubs such as the Panacée and the Carré Saint-Anne host an array of exhibitions and events, while the Musée Fabre and Musée Atger museums are home to dazzling art collections. Montpellier's History Museum and the Musée du Vieux Montpellier are also well-worth a visit.
Experience the diversity of southern France's countryside
If it's fresh air you're after, stroll along the Promenade du Peyrou and catch your breath in the 16th-century Jardin des Plantes, France's oldest botanical garden and a wonderful break from the city bustle. Day-trippers will enjoy heading for the surrounding vineyards, exploring the banks of the Étang de l'Or lake or hitting the nearby Mediterranean beaches.
Embrace vibrant city-living, Montpellier style
Catch a flight to Montpellier and enjoy all the energetic effervescence of a French city. There's so much to do here, you'll be spoilt for choice! Radio France, the Festival des Fanfares, Wild Summer Festival, the Printemps des Comédiens, Montpellier Danse, the international extreme sports festival, the Estivales, and the list goes on. There really is something for everyone!
Sink your teeth into the flavours of Occitanie
Montpellier's local cuisine is probably France's best-kept secret. The produce and specialities here are mind-blowingly good, from foie gras and figs to crab, crayfish, truffles, wines and bull meat... Locally-caught fish is used to prepare a regional take on a classic bouillabaisse, and when it comes to dessert, expect grisettes (sweets) and oreillettes (flaky fritters).
Place de la Comédie, where time stands still
Montpellier's epicentre is the Place de la Comédie square, an oval-shaped esplanade that locals refer to as 'the Egg', encircled by formidable 19th-century buildings and home to the unmissable Trois Grâces fountain and the opulent Comédie opera house. The Italian-style concert hall at the Comédie is simply magical.
Montpellier's cathedral
Built in the 14th century and consecrated in the 16th century, Saint-Pierre cathedral is an impressive feat of architectural prowess. Extended and altered over the centuries, the result is a harmonious blend of southern Roman and Gothic influences. The porch is bracketed by two turrets that lend the cathedral a castle-like feel.
Get some fresh air on the Promenade
A few minutes away from the cathedral lies the Promenade du Peyrou, a panoramic viewpoint that offers spectacular views of the city. Built in the 17th and 18th centuries, the promenade is studded with architectural gems that delight visitors: the water tower, the Porte du Peyrou arch, a statue of Louis XIV and the gardens.
An art lover's paradise at the Panacée
A five-minute walk away from the Musée Fabre, the Panacée is a fantastic arts centre where visitors will find year-round exhibitions as well as conferences and round-table debates. The Panacée does more than just exhibit art - it aims to bring art to life.
A temple to art
The Carré Sainte-Anne is a quirky little site set up in an old church, the bell tower of which is still standing today. This cultural centre is open to all members of the public, and hosts exhibitions - but visitors flock here simply to marvel at the original setting of the building itself. The Carré organises a plethora of festivals throughout the year.
Gardianne, Camargue's local stew
Thanks to its proximity to Camargue, Montpellier's cuisine draws heavily on the region's finest produce. Montpellier locals love nothing more than a steaming plate of gardianne, a Camargue bull-meat stew in which the meat is left overnight to soak up the flavours of red wine, carrots, onion and celery before being left to simmer and plated up with rice.
Nostalgic sweet treats
Grisettes are the city's most iconic sweets. Shaped like marbles and flavoured with honey and liquorice, grisettes were originally prescribed as medicine. Over time, they became Montpellier locals' favourite treat, and it's said that this is France's oldest known sweet.

Kevin Larmon / MATRIX 128
June 7–August 25, 1989
Kevin Larmon: A Letter Home, 1989.
For the past ten years, Kevin Larmon has painted variations on a single still life motif, an apple and pear snugly held in a simple bow. Among its various permutations, this image has been isolated, multiplied, dissected and erased. It has appeared resting on the edge of a precarious table, hovering in a dimensionless space or poised at the margin of an abstract landscape. It has been shown with exquisite detail, painted flat and colorless or denoted simply by an outline on the bare canvas. Larmon has treated the area surrounding the bow with equal intensity, exploring a seemingly exhaustive variety of surfaces. By applying layers of incompatible paints, varnishes and other liquids, including coffee and wine, Larmon has achieved extraordinary textures-from viscous pools to patterned cracks and rills. Larmon's most recent paintings...
For the past ten years, Kevin Larmon has painted variations on a single still life motif, an apple and pear snugly held in a simple bow. Among its various permutations, this image has been isolated, multiplied, dissected and erased. It has appeared resting on the edge of a precarious table, hovering in a dimensionless space or poised at the margin of an abstract landscape. It has been shown with exquisite detail, painted flat and colorless or denoted simply by an outline on the bare canvas. Larmon has treated the area surrounding the bow with equal intensity, exploring a seemingly exhaustive variety of surfaces. By applying layers of incompatible paints, varnishes and other liquids, including coffee and wine, Larmon has achieved extraordinary textures-from viscous pools to patterned cracks and rills. Larmon's most recent paintings incorporate two significant changes: they are considerably larger than his previous works, and they represent the bowl of fruit from above rather than from the side. The larger scale has the effect of heightening the paintings' abstract quality and somewhat minimizing the preciousness found in his earlier, smaller works. Showing the bowl from above contributes to the effect of perceiving the canvas itself as a table top, thereby creating a tension between our perception of the painted surface as image and object. In several cases, particularly Democracy and Study #1, Larmon's compositions suggest that the painted area is a kind of trompe l'oeil table cloth. In others, such as Death and Taxes and Protection, the build-up of paint and layering of lines and stains emphasize the paintings' vertical surface over the illusion of horizontality. The two diptychs in the exhibition are studies for future paintings which will extend up to ten feet in length. The comparatively thin covering of paints and varnishes on Study #2 provides a kind of X-ray view into the underlying structure of Larmon's paintings. Here one can clearly see an arrangement of collaged photographs such as those which are completely or partially hidden beneath the surface of all of Larmon's paintings. In his recent works, these collages consist of fragments of hard-core pornography as well as sensual details-such as a bit of drapery or a glimpse of skin-cut out from art book reproductions of Renaissance paintings. By obscuring these erotically charged images beneath richly colored and textured surfaces, Larmon creates a feeling of sensual congestion in which the depicted nudes and fine fabrics merge with the lushness of the paint itself. By equating sexual allure-whether represented in "high" or "low" culture-with the torrid surfaces of his paintings, Larmon points to a sublimated sexual drive as underlying our society's hunger to derive satisfaction from art objects. In Larmon's paintings, however, seduction is tempered by reticence. Their most erotic aspects always remain hidden and, like a traditional memento mori, these still lifes juxtapose sensual fullness with physical decay. The complication of desire by sublimation and trepidation has always been inherent in our society, yet given the present conditions surrounding the AIDS epidemic, its expression in Larmon's paintings seems particularly timely and apt. In the context of contemporary painting, Larmon's work can be seen as linking two related practices. On the one hand his unfailing repetition of the same still life motif recalls the notion of style as subject matter which inform the "generic" abstractions of painters such as Sherrie Levine and Tim Ebner. On the other hand, Larmon's painterly gestures never seem completely ironic. Rather, like the paintings of Mark Innerst and Ross Bleckner, Larmon's still lifes maintain a careful balance between subjective expression an objective critique. Kevin Larmon was born in Syracuse, New York in 1955. He received a B.F.A. from Harper College, S.U.N.Y., Binghampton, and currently resides in upstate New York.

Alternate Route Usage and Providers: Nebraska
2011 Expanding the Pool of Teachers Policy
The state should provide an alternate route that is free from regulatory obstacles that limit its usage and providers.
Does not meet
National Council on Teacher Quality. (2011). Alternate Route Usage and Providers: Nebraska results. State Teacher Policy Database. [Data set].
Retrieved from: https://www.nctq.org/yearbook/state/NE-Alternate-Route-Usage-and-Providers-7
Analysis of Nebraska's policies
Nebraska limits the usage and providers of its alternate route.
Although state law does not place restrictions on the usage of the Transitional Teaching Certificate, the only current provider offers its alternate route only at the secondary level. Further, school districts that employ alternate route candidates as teachers must provide documentation that no other qualified teachers were available for the position.
Only institutions of higher education can provide alternate route programs.
Nebraska Rule 21 005.30B Nebraska Rule 20
Recommendations for Nebraska
Broaden alternate route usage.
Nebraska should reconsider grade-level and subject area restrictions on its alternate route. The state should also provide a true alternative path to certification and eliminate requirements that alternate route teachers can only be hired if traditionally certified teachers cannot be found. Alternate routes should not be programs of last resort for hard-to-staff subjects, grade levels or geographic areas but rather a way to expand the teacher pipeline throughout the state.
Encourage diversity of alternate route providers.
Nebraska should specifically authorize alternate route programs run by local school districts and nonprofits, as well as institutions of higher education. A good diversity of providers helps all programs, both university- and non-university-based, to improve.
Nebraska asserted that although schools are asked to document that an effort was made to find a fully certified/endorsed teacher for the position, districts are "not prohibited from hiring an alternate route teacher if applicants who are fully certified/endorsed do not possess the dispositions or professional qualities (fit) for the district."
The state also disagreed that grade-level and subject-area restrictions should be removed, noting that "these grade levels and subject areas are consistent for all Nebraska teachers." The state further noted that the alternate route program "assumes that the individual brings an undergraduate content degree upon which to build. Not all areas (such as special education and elementary education) have an undergraduate content degree which would support the content background necessary to meet Nebraska's standards for an effective alternative entry candidate."
Unfortunately, the state's response illustrates the belief that alternate routes are a lesser certification option, acceptable only when there is not an adequate supply of traditionally prepared teachers. This perspective prevents these routes from being a true alternative that creates another pipeline for talented, nontraditional candidates to enter the classroom. As for the state's concern about elementary and special education teachers, the latter of which is often in short supply, the state could design a program that ensures that requisite content knowledge is present through its admissions requirements and frontloads essential pedagogy.

Alternate routes should be structured to do more than just address shortages; they should provide an alternative pipeline for talented individuals to enter the profession.
Many states have structured their alternate routes as a streamlined means to certify teachers in shortage subjects, grades or geographic areas. While alternate routes are an important mechanism for addressing shortages, they also serve the wider-reaching and more consequential purpose of providing an alternative pathway for talented individuals to enter the profession. A true alternate route creates a new pipeline of potential teachers by certifying those with valuable knowledge and skills who did not prepare to teach as undergraduates and are disinclined to fulfill the requirements of a new degree.
Some states claim that the limitations they place on the use of their alternate routes impose quality control. However, states control who is admitted and who is licensed. With appropriate standards for admission (see Goal 2-A) and program accountability (see Goal 1-L), quality can be safeguarded without casting alternate routes as routes of last resort or branding alternate route teachers "second-class citizens."
From a teacher quality perspective—and supporting NCTQ's contention for broad-based, respectable, and widely-offered programs—there exists substantial research demonstrating the need for states to adopt alternate certification programs. Independent research on candidates who earned certification through the alternate-route Teach For America (conducted by Kane, Parsons and Associates) and the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (conducted by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. and ABCTE) programs has found that alternate route teachers are often as effective, and, in many cases, more effective, than traditionally-prepared teachers. See also Raymond, M., Fletcher, S., & Luque, J. (2001). Teach for America: An evaluation of teacher differences and student outcomes in Houston, Texas. Stanford, CA: The Hoover Institution, Center for Research on Education Outcomes.
Specifically, evidence of the effectiveness of candidates in respectable and selective alternate certification requirements can be found in J. Constantine, D. Player, T. Silva, K. Hallgren, M. Grider, and J. Deke, An Evaluation of Teachers Trained Through Different Routes to Certification, Final Report. National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Institute of Education Services, U.S. Department of Education (2009), D. Boyd, et al. "How Changes in Entry Requirements Alter the Teacher Workforce and Affect Student Achievement." Education Finance and Policy, (2006). T. Kane, J. Rockoff, and D. Staiger. "What Does Certification Tell Us About Teacher Effectiveness? Evidence from New York City." National Bureau of Economic Research. (2006).
A number of studies have also found alternative-certification programs such as Teach for America to produce teachers that were more effective at improving student achievement than other teachers with similar levels of experience. See Z. Xu, J. Hannaway and C. Taylor, "Making a Difference? The Effects of Teach for America in High School." The Urban Institute/Calder. (2009); D. Boyd et al "Recruiting Effective Math Teachers, How Do Math Immersion Teachers Compare? Evidence from New York City." Calder Institute (2009).
For evidence that alternate route programs offered by institutions of higher education are often virtually identical to traditional programs, see Alternative Certification Isn't Alternative (NCTQ, 2007) at: http://www.nctq.org/p/publications/docs/Alternative_Certification_Isnt_Alternative_20071124023109.pdf.

Home Opinion Letters to the Editor
Reader Submitted
Let's come together in '22
Recently Merriam Webster chose the word "vaccine" as the word of 2021.
I would like to nominate a word for the year 2022, "gaslighting."
One definition of gaslighting is, "Gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes people to doubt and question their own thoughts of reality."
My definition would be a little more simple.
"Gaslighting" to me is to tell the masses one "story" all the while hiding many other more relevant problems or stories. You are not crazy.
This country is in deep trouble. Don't look at the bright, shiny objects that the media and professional politicians are peddling.
First though we have to have a difficult conversation.
Right now is the time my friends to have an adult and frank talk about Jan. 6, 2021. Let's start with the nonsense spewed by Vice President Harris on the one-year anniversary of 1/6. The "Insurrection of 1/6" in no way compares to Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Shame on you Kamala Harris. Stop scaring the American people. Start uniting everyone, both supporters of Joe Biden and supporters of Donald Trump.
1/6 was terrible, awful and a very bad look for America and former President Trump. What it wasn't was an overthrow of the US government, a "coup" or the end of democracy. President Biden was certified the winner of 2020 general election. Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th
president of the United States on Jan. 20, 2021. Let's move on.
1/6/21 was the day that half of the country believed all 74 million Trump voters think the election of 2020 was stolen. That 74 million people won't recognize Joe Biden and the 2020 elections as legitimate.
Let's move on.
My question is when did the 81 million Biden voters recognize Donald Trump and 2016 as legitimate? These are the same people who brought you the "Russian collusion" nonsense, the Mueller Report and two different impeachment hearings. Let's move on.
Let us use 2022 to do two constructive things.
One, put the 2016 and 2020 elections finally behind us, including the "insurrection" nonsense of 1/6. Donald Trump won in 2016. Joe Biden won in 2020. Both elections are over. Move on.
Secondly, let's end the "gaslighting" of the Biden administration.
Put 1/6 in the past. Remember it as a horrible day, but let us move on to the relevant issues of today.
Let's concentrate on the following:
Strong borders at the southern borders of Texas and Arizona
Ending the choke point of shipment boats off the West Coast
Gaining control off COVID-19 finally after two years
Lowering inflation and the prices of goods and food
Ending the closures of in-person learning/virtual schooling
Stop the shaming of unvaccinated people
Stopping the onslaught of violence and crime across America and finally, let's start bringing all Biden and Trump voters together in unity, harmony and peace. Let's come together in 2022.
Time to end the finger pointing, recriminations and hatred of the American people. Let's all come together with positive solutions to fix Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and America in 2022.
We can do this. Let's get started right now. Right now! Today!
John Farley
Keep 54th Ward in 172nd
As an NE Philadelphia community, we request that ward 54 must be part of 172nd House District. Currently, we are deeply and seriously concerned about the preliminary redistricting of our PA 172nd District.
We believe the new preliminary redistricting map and boundaries have really divided our NE Philadelphia community in a very disturbing way. The new map unconstitutionally divides ward boundaries more than absolutely necessary. Such divisions can be justified if necessary to keep neighborhoods and communities of interest together, but this plan does the opposite. Our neighborhoods are very important to us. We are brought together not only by geography but by a unity of interest. In Philadelphia our closest elected officials are City Council members who each represent one-tenth of the city. As such, our local political ward organizations and community associations work to better the quality of life in our communities. The proposed map lessens the ability of these groups to effect positive change for our city.
Therefore, we all request that honorable members of the commission reconsider adding ward 54 to the preliminary mapping of 172nd District, and change it to our recommended redistricting mapping by adding ward 54 in it. Your consideration would unite our communities with reasonable compactness and contiguity.
Aaron Bashir for State Representative
Alleviating poverty
As a constituent of District 202, I am pleased to see that my state representative, Jared Solomon, has taken various steps toward the betterment of our community. First of which, his efforts toward alleviating poverty. By initiating the Philadelphia Platform in 2018, he and his colleagues helped to pinpoint important policies to expand workforce development as well as providing aid to small businesses in the city. I am strongly in favor of this program, seeing as it attacks problems at the root.
Solomon has stated time and time again that one of the most important ways to combat poverty in our community is by providing workforce opportunities for our youth. Earlier this year, he presented a portion of $2.8 million in funding to the Urban Affairs Coalition as part of the PA Schools-to-Work program. After further research, I discovered that the money came from part of a program that he worked to create through legislation H.B. 796. I also found that a companion bill was introduced in the Senate. These are the types of policies that actually make a difference in which I am strongly in favor of.
While I do admire much of his work, I do believe that there is always room for improvement. I ask that Solomon invests more of his time and resources into the imprisonment-to-homelessness pipeline. A large percentage of the homeless population is made up of released inmates who were unable to attain a job due to their history. I believe that this would largely improve the high poverty rate that plagues our community. It is my hope that Solomon takes my thoughts into his consideration.

Better off without morons
We just saw the latest episode of the Hite administration and school board failures with the closing of schools due to COVID-19.
They wouldn't close all the schools and go virtual as the PFT requested.
They kept on closing more and more schools each day until they reached more than one-third and then went totally virtual for Friday, Jan. 7.
They risked the lives of our children, teachers and everyone they would come in contact with.
Time and time again the PFT union (the workers) comes up with sensible solutions surrounding asbestos, needing nurses, etc. and then has to prove themselves correct.
We would be better off without these morons in the Hite administration and on the school board.

1979, Formula 2, March, Minichamps, Satoru Nakajima
1979 March 792 Nakajima
From 1978, March concentrated on Formula Two, running the works BMW team. Bruno Giacomelli and his 782 was a strong contender in the 1978 season, and would eventually go on to win the F2 title. For 1979 March constructed their first ground-effect car, the 792. It was powered by 300 hp 2000 cc four cylinder BMW M Power engine. Swiss Marc Surer drove the 792 to the 1979 championship. There were 32 examples of the 792 constructed, driven by many drivers in the European F2 Championship and All Nippon F2 Championship.
All-Nippon championship, top-level formula racing series in Japan, started in 1973 as All-Japan Formula 2000. The series was based on the European Formula Two Championship. But unlike European F2, which only allowed the use of racing engines based on mass production models, the JAF approved the use of purpose-built racing engines from manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Motors. In 1976, the FIA modified the Formula Two regulations to allow the use of purpose-built racing engines. With this change, the reasoning behind the name "Formula 2000" had disappeared, which led to the series being renamed the All-Japan Formula Two Championship from 1978.
Satoru Nakajima was 3rd in the 1977 and 1978 All-Nippon Championship, and in 1979 drove March 792 for Team Italya with Tetsu. His best finish of the season was 2nd place in J.A.F. Grand Prix at Suzuka. Nakajima finished the championship 7th. Later he would win 5 titles in All-Nippon Formula 2 – in 1981, 1982, 1984, 1985 and 1986.

Blatant Racism & Lemon Cars
I just got back from visiting (CT. Car Co. LLC East Windsor) car lot today and I was stun how blatant the racism was showed to me being a black man. I went there to check out three cars they had on the lot, ie. 2 Pontiac Grand Prix and 1 Oldsmobile Alero. 1 Grand Prix had every warning sign going off in the car while just idling in the parking lot and the Oldsmobile had the check engine light on while just sitting in the parking lot. So I decided that I was going to go with the 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix that showed that it only warning light said to change the oil. So I went to tell the guy that I wanted to test drive it because if everything check out after the test drive I will pay cash on the spot today. He told me they do not normally do not do test drive on Sundays so I had to wait a hour and a half before some guy could bring down the dealer plates for the test drive.... but soon after that while I was waiting on an Uber to pick me up a white lady came there and wanted to test drive a Jeep Cherokee he slapped those dealer plates on the back of the car so fast and off he went on the test drive with the white woman. I was so disgusted that I wanted to take the time to write a review on this business because I usually do not write reviews because I am too busy to write such things on businesses. But this was so blatant I had to do it...Black people I will not give these white people a penny of our dollars. I am a cash buyer!!! This was so blatant that I will file a complaint with the Better Business Business Bureau, Connecticut DMV, Connecticut Attorney General , Consumer Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission if I could. In this day and age in the middle of a Pandemic there is no room for racism in the United States. This was the most racism I have experienced personally in a long time. This was a wake up call for me that we as a society still have a long way to go. This place is a joke!!! Please people do not fall for this person is not in our records routine. This company is trash.
User's recommendation: Stay away from this Business.

New song from Manafest! This is "Never Let You Go" from his album Fighter, slated for release on April 10th! Not exactly what I would have expected from a hip-hop artist, but great nevertheless!
I forsee this song being stuck on repeat for quite a while :) Thanks for posting it!


Try not to call it a cane. Instead, calling this assistive device a "walking stick" or even a "trekking stick" evokes more positive images of youth, vigor, and an active lifestyle. This handy object can assist you in easing many types of pain. All the way down the chain, from the low back to the feet, a walking stick can reduce the stress and strain that comes with everyday activities or a walk in the woods.
Researchers in Australia recently showed that the use of a cane reduced the load on the knee by 10%. By reducing knee joint stress, the pain, swelling, and stiffness is less likely to become debilitating. Knee arthritis plagues many people who line up for knee replacement surgery. That surgery can be postponed and activities can continue with a little help from a walking stick or two. That's right, two. Some of the most avid hikers in the world use two trekking sticks to help support their bodies over the uneven terrain. Not only does this technique reduce the load on all the parts of the body, but it also helps to conserve energy that is ordinarily used to help maintain balance. Think about it. Have you ever seen a two-legged stool? That is a silly thought because three legs are more stable than two and four legs are even better.
Improved balance is the reason walking sticks help to relieve back pain too. When walking, the back muscles are primarily involved in maintaining your balance. If the work load on these stabilizing muscles reduces, then the pain usually reduces as well. Most back pain sufferers experience more discomfort when climbing hills, stepping off curbs, or walking over bumpy ground. Just a simple stick in one hand really does make these tasks easier and safer. Keeping active is a matter of controlling the pain. Sometimes a simple assistive device like a walking stick is all that is needed to keep moving.
People with hip arthritis would like to keep moving. However, the hip pain usually felt in the groin area can become quite severe. Once again, the cane is invaluable at reducing joint stress. A cane used in the opposite hand from the worn out hip (right hip pain, use the cane in the left hand; left hip pain, use the cane in the right hand) helps to stabilize the pelvis and lessen the work load on the hip joint. With a walking stick, you may not be able to play basketball, but you might just be able to walk the dog comfortably.
Many types of assistive devices exist and really do assist in making life easier. Unfortunately, people cringe at the thought of using a cane, a walker, or a scooter. However, those negative thoughts ease when faced with a choice of living independently or depending on others. Most would rather use an assistive device to do things like grocery shopping, than have someone else do the shopping for them. Because these aides help to control many types of pain, they also help a person maintain control over his or her life. By regaining control, pain is then less likely to cause suffering. Just carry a big stick and keep moving.

Q: How to change Flask logging/debug screen output format? I need to change default Flask/Werkzeug debugging output.
I've tried this:
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["TESTING"] = True
...
log = logging.getLogger("werkzeug")
log.disabled = True

And that's working. Output is fully supressed, no more lines like:
111.222.81.83 - - [26/Mar/2019 13:31:04] "POST /catchdata HTTP/1.1" 200 -
112.122.81.83 - - [26/Mar/2019 13:31:07] "POST /catchdata HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Which is good!
I, then, included this line of code:
@app.route("/catchdata", methods=["POST"])
def catchdata():
    app.logger.info("In Catch")
    ...

and this is what I've got:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO in __init__ [/srv/www/wsgi/Flask/service_py3/app/srv/__init__.py:438]:
In Catch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO in __init__ [/srv/www/wsgi/Flask/service_py3/app/srv/__init__.py:438]:
In Catch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO in __init__ [/srv/www/wsgi/Flask/service_py3/app/srv/__init__.py:438]:
In Catch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I change default formatting to get only:
In Catch
In Catch
In Catch

I don't need logging to a file. Screen only.
Thank you!

A: Flask uses standard Python logging objects with a default configuration consisting of a StreamHandler with a simple Formatter.
If a custom logging setup is required, the Flask logging documentation references an example using Python's logging.config.dictConfig and recommends to do the custom setup as soon as possible in the program:

When you want to configure logging for your project, you should do it
  as soon as possible when the program starts. If app.logger is accessed
  before logging is configured, it will add a default handler. If
  possible, configure logging before creating the application object.

If you just want to change the output format of the default handler, you could simply set a new Formatter, initialized with the desired format to it:
import logging
from flask import Flask, logging as flog

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def random_name():
    app.logger.info("default flask logging format")
    flog.default_handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter("%(message)s"))
    app.logger.info("message-only custom format")
    return "random value"

which yields the following output
[2019-03-26 14:42:06,511] INFO in main: default flask logging format
message-only custom format

Python 3 logging docs
Edit
Turns out, that Flask's logging setup was significantly changed with this commit that seems to have ended up in the 1.0 release, introducing the default_handler.With older versions you can fall back to the following solution:
app.logger.handlers[0].setFormatter(logging.Formatter("%(message)s"))

I'd like to point out, that this approach uses the undocumented handlers attribute on native Logger objects. While it is not defined as what is to be considered private, I'd still be wary to use it in production code.This solution also relies on the StreamHandler to be the first one added to the logger.
In any case, a clean, dedicated logging setup, as outlined in the Flask docs I linked, should be the preferred method.
