A popular Pioneer High School teacher may no longer be paid for the work he does at a local teen center as the Ann Arbor Public Schools' creative writing program feels the effects of budget cuts.
Jeff Kass, a leader in the school's creative writing community, is slated to be moved from a full-time employee to a .8-full-time equivalent, meaning he will get paid four-fifths of the salary of a full-time teacher.
Kass spends a portion of his normal work day at the Neutral Zone working on creative writing projects before returning to Pioneer to teach classes.
Pioneer High School teacher Jeff Kass and former students asked the Ann Arbor school board to maintain the creative writing program he runs.
The district would no longer fund Kass's participation in the creative writing programs at the Neutral Zone, but Kass would still be involved in the programs and would still teach at the school.
Kass told the Ann Arbor school board that the time he spends at the Neutral Zone every day is really a full-time job that he does mostly for free. He said that if the board chooses to continue funding his participation in the programs, the position would be funded by outside sources in two years.
"I believe in writing and the power of the written word and I will promise this board that if you pay for this .2-FTE, it will be paid for within two years," he said.
The board did not take any action on Kass's position Wednesday.
A number of former students and supporters from around the country spoke to the school board, encouraging them to allow Kass to continue his work.
Aimee Le, a former student who now attends Dartmouth College, said the creative writing program in Ann Arbor was the initial reason why she began taking writing seriously. She is now a published author and intends to continue writing in the future.
She said the classes and programs might be optional courses but they are undoubtedly important to students.
"It's an elective, but it's the most important part of my education," Lee said of creative writing.
Molly Raynor, a Pioneer alumna, said she has watched Kass build a program from the ground up and being a part of that program was what made her lose the disengaged feeling she had in high school.
She said the opportunities afforded to her through the Volume program at Neutral Zone, which included a trip to San Francisco to perform in a national poetry contest, allowed her to find what she wanted to do with her life.
"I knew I had found my calling and I was originally going to move back there and be a teacher, like Jeff Kass," she said.
Although Kass and his supporters appealed to the board for help at Wednesday's meeting, it's unclear whether the trustees will have any say in his position.
The staffing decisions for each school are usually made by each building's principal, which means Pioneer principal Michael White is expected to have the final say in the matter. Board members gave no indication they were ready to get involved in restoring Kass's full-time status at Wednesday's meeting.
Kass used his time speaking to the board to renew the call for members of the community to take their concerns to lawmakers in Lansing. He said the cuts to education are threatening programs like his, which he ultimately believes better the lives of students.

I think the Neutral Zone is a great organization, and I have donated to them regularly, even when I didn't have high-school aged kids. However, they are not accredited, do not issue grades or transcripts for their participants and do not require certified teachers to oversee their other very worthwhile programs. In only rare cases are any other adult supervisors being paid by anyone for their work at the Neutral Zone. The public school system should not be paying school employees for their VOLUNTEER work in a community organization, no matter how worthy. Jeff Kass needs to work on writing grants for the Neutral Zone to fund his activities if necessary and return to doing his "day job" 100% if he wants 100% of his pay from the taxpayers.

Hey Kyle Feldscher, Sorry to be a nitpicker, but you misspelled the names of your quoted sources. Their names are Aimée Lê and Molly Raynor. Aimée's book actually was reviewed by an AnnArbor.com contributor (http://www.annarbor.com/entertainment/books/feral-citizens-of-ann-arbor-young-dedicated-and-fantastically-wordy/); you might want to link to it. sincerely, -g.

That's been updated, thank you Gahl.

PS: it turns out the link I posted above doesn't work because for whatever reason it pastes the parentheses into the URL. you can see the article by copying and pasting the URL itself sans parentheses in, or by looking through Leah DuMouchel's review starting with the title, "Feral citizens." just an fyi.

I support Jeff Kass and the Creative Writing Program at Pioneer and at Neutral Zone. However, I would not take the issue to Lansing. The Board must include the requirement of this course for all students who would like to get a High School Diploma. Students must be intellectually challenged and must be helped to think on their own and write their original thoughts either in poems or essays. Jeff would get his full time status when more students attend his class and we need more teachers to teach Creative Writing to others who are now avoiding taking this Course. The School Board has all the money it needs in this world. Ask Larry Krammer and he has already let out that secret.

4 years of English Language classes are already required for graduation. Creative Writing is one of the more popular permissible electives.

I've noticed over the years that Mr. Kass is excellent at getting his name out there. I believe this is the principal's call and Mr. Kass should not be taking it to the school board.

maybe AAPS should rescind the $65000 raise for the superintendent and give it to Jeff!
How would the supt buy groceries?

Anything that is considered "extracurricular" is fair game for cuts right now. Unfortunately, a great deal of learning and doing is going on in those programs. Another program that Kass is involved in is the student written and produced plays at Pioneer. He helps students with their writing during his lunch hour and some of the plays are chosen to be produced by the after school theater club. Some kids do more writing, speaking, performing outside of class than they do inside. We need more of this, not less.

This article doesn't paint a complete picture of how Jeff's work at Neutral Zone impacts the entire AAPS district. It is through his appointment at Neutral Zone that he organizes the entire city wide poetry slam (including slam finals held at each AAPS high school) and conducts creative writing workshops throughout the district during the school year. Sure, it's not time spent IN a classroom at Pioneer, but the district certainly reaps the benefits of this .2 appointment outside of the classroom...if you aren't convinced, check out a slam final sometime.
Thu, Jun 30, 2011 : 1:11 p.m.
Thank you..this is exactly what I was trying to say but you did a much better job of it!
Jeff Kass is an exceptional teacher and I have rarely seen another teacher who is as dedicated and passionate about his job as he is. While he is a teacher at Pioneer, Jeff's involvement at the Neutral Zone allows students from all over Ann Arbor to be involved in his writing programs. Just one example is the popular Ann Arbor Youth Poetry Slam that Jeff organizes every spring, where kids gain invaluable experience writing and performing in a supportive environment. Students from Huron, Pioneer, Skyline and Community each have an opportunity to participate in a slam at their school while the top finalists go on to compete at the Neutral Zone. Teachers like Jeff Kass are a rare breed indeed and I hope Mr. White recognizes that.

It's sad to hear this amazing teacher is loosing his full time status. I had a daughter in his creative writing class at Pioneer. It was a very important class in her development, a class that gave her the confidence to speak out in front of others. His class shaped who she has become, a Teacher. I hope there is a way to revive his position to Full time we/he deserves it.
Thu, Jun 30, 2011 : 12:25 p.m.
The article doesn't say how many classes he teaches at Pioneer. If the other teachers in the system teach 5 classes and he only teaches 4 then his pay needs to be cut. Why should AAPS be paying for " the time he spends at the Neutral Zone every day is really a full-time job that he does mostly for free" . It is his choice to go to the Neutral Zone correct? AAPS isn't forcing him to go to the Neutral Zone correct? The article doesn't say that they are cutting Creative Writing at Pioneer so what is the big deal? If he wants full pay from AAPS, teach full time at the school.

I have two teenagers who are in writing groups at the Neutral Zone and it is an awesome opportunity for them to not only enhance their writing skills and creativity but to connect in a positive way with other teens. My one son is looking at being a writer in some capacity as a career and my other son is using the experience to dig deeper into his thoughts and find both his inner voice and his ability to speak up in public. Kass' involvement - like so many of the awesome teachers we have here in Ann Arbor - goes well beyond teaching form and function to inspiring students to be more of who they are! Something hopefully the school board and Mr. White can strive to see. It is a shame that in this economy it comes down to fighting each cutback one-by-one. But placing a priority on innovation and outside-the-box, (even outside the classroom) successful strategies for reaching our students should be encouraged.
Thu, Jun 30, 2011 : 11:32 a.m.
This story highlights something that our entire country needs to come to grips with. Our main export today and in the future is creativity. In our schools, however, we are opting toward a test-and-memorization-based system that only makes us less creative. We need innovative programs that encourage and nurture creativity in our children, because that is what makes us great as a society. I say, support Kass and anyone who sees a world beyond "multiple choice".

Links ...
I have added some links to my short but exclusive link list. The Maxspeak link has been changed to one which works. Perfect.co.uk is about British politics and is reasonably sound; its presence there indicates the fact that the operator asked me to put it up (actually he asked if I could put a link on CT but the answer is that I don't have the technical acumen to do so) and seems like a decent bloke.
Balkanalysis.com is your one-stop news portal for the former Yugoslavia, run by a chap who lives there and has a rather contrarian opinion about the net benefit of the ur-"humanitarian intervention" which took place there. I don't necessarily endorse Chris' political views, mainly because I don't know what passing loony or medieval philosopher might have grabbed his enthusiasm this week, but it is an excellent website and chock full of useful information. If you want to know the visa requirements for Macedonian nationals to travel to Greece, for example, Chris is certainly the man to ask. He's on his summer holidays at the moment but it is a very worthy enterprise.
If anyone else wants to be added to the link list, just send me an email, although do be aware that the Taliban ruled Afghanistan when I first started promising to put up the balkanalysis one.
Around the rugged blogs, the ragged rascal ran
Hullo ... this week I have been mainly indulging my predilection for hit-and-run jibes, but in more substantive commenting, I've been defending the Common Agricultural policy over at Blood & Treasure and sticking up for modern art (and music) chez Abiola.
From the "Greatest Hits" vault, for your amusement, the "Harry's Place International Law Wars", volumes One (which earned me my first ever ban[1] from that site) and Two, in which I tag-team with Matthew Turner and the leaked AG advice turns up to completely vindicate us.
No "too hot for CT" item this week; it's been more a case of "no time for CT". I have acquired a copy of "Freakonomics", though, and may review it soon. Yes, yes, like the Doug Henwood review which is also coming in the eternal near-present. Mind how ye go.
[1]I see that another ban is presumably in the post for me since the owner of the site has pretty much lost it (Whoah!). Probably a good thing time-management wise for me, but a bit of a shame; Harry & Co have a more or less explicit policy of deleting and banning articulate people who don't agree with them and allowing the morons to stand, which if you ask me is a pretty pathetic way to make yourself look good.
Around, but not around the blogs
On holiday in Crete last week, lovely, thanks, so not much in the way of blog comments. A few observations:
1. Gynaecomastia is absolutely rampant among North European males. I know what it�s like to have a pot belly, even a beer gut. But there are chaps walking along beaches these days who have what I can only describe as a bust. In particular, there are plenty of retired Germans who have a figure not that dissimilar to that of Demi Moore on the famous Vanity Fair cover, a figure which Ms. Moore was only able to achieve in the first place through plastic surgery. What gives? I suspect too much use of gym equipment to develop the pectoral muscles, without doing similar amounts of cardiovascular exercise to burn off the actual fat.
2. Once you have referred in your mind to beach volleyball as monkey tennis, it is impossible to ever after regard this sport with the seriousness its Olympic status merits.
3. Six hours stopover in Athens airport with a three-year-old and a baby will not kill you, though you might wish it could.
and anyway, on with the "Too Hot For CT" miniseries, an opinion on the State of Israel.
As I see it, the reason why Israel is singled out for criticism relative to, say, Burma, Zimbabwe, etc has nothing to do with hunman rights. Anti-Semites, Palestinian apologists and associated bores do bang on endlessly about exaggerated claims of human rights abuses, it is true, but this is actually not at the centre of what people object to with respect to the State of Israel (by the way, that is the name of the country; I have no idea what Mr Ben Stein thinks he is talking about when he writes about a place he blieves to be called "Eretz Israel" but I would appreciate it if you lot did your best to ensure the appellation did not catch on).
In general, people do not give much of a fuck about human rights abuses happening to foreigners overseas, viz the fact that there are no very large protests against Burma, Zimbabwe etc, and there were no large protests about Iraq before it was decided that they were an enemy of ours (or indeed after).
What people do care about is the illegal occupation of territory; as Jamie put it, most of us are Westphalians at heart. There is something about the fact that the Palestinians have to live on ground that is controlled by a foreign power which seems not just wrong, but an appropriate thing to have an opinion about and demand action on. Whereas much worse offences against individual human beings, apparently, do not have this property. There are lots of liberal internationalists who think that the majority of the population is dead wrong to think this way, but I'm reporting the sociological facts here, I think.
So Eve Garrard's "plagiarism" analogy is disanalogous. There are lots of nations which commit human rights abuses, of which Israel is in the greater scheme of things a Second Division offender at most. However there aren't lots of nations which are illegally occupying territory; I can only think of Israel; one might make a case for Syria in Lebanon but I think one would struggle to say it was the same sort of situation. So we are not in a situation where boys and girls are both plagiarising but the university only punishes the girls. We're in a situation where the boys are committing public order offences, driving drunk and vandalising property and the girls are committing plagiarism. In that sort of situation it seems to me that it is much less inconsistent for the university to concentrate on the particular transgression that is within the sphere of its legitimate action, rather than the more serious offences which are not.

7 baby monkeys died from poisoning at UC Davis
Seven infant monkeys were accidentally poisoned and died at UC Davis, home to one of the largest primate research centers in the U.S., internal documents shared with a British newspaper have revealed.
All the deaths occurred in April 2018 and were only recently reported after a letter was sent this past April.
The Guardian newspaper, published in England with an American edition, reported the young macaques died after their mothers were marked with dye at the UCD primate research laboratory.
According to the report, the infants were reunited with the females, which then inadvertently transferred the dye, which proved toxic. Seven of the infants, none more than a few weeks old — with one just a day old — subsequently died.
UCD reported the incidents to federal authorities in April 2018, according to The Guardian. with further details provided in a letter sent a year later. The Guardian reported that in the 2019 document, UCD told the federal watchdog Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare that two of the infants were found to have "generalized weakness and respiratory distress", with dye found on their lips and tongues.
Both of these infants had "severe edema and swelling of the larynx and tongue" and, despite emergency treatment, died. The other deceased infants were "either found dead or euthanized upon arrival at the hospital." All seven of them had some amount of dye on their fur, skin or around the mouth, which probably triggered a deadly allergic reaction.
In response, the Office of Laboratory and Animal Welfare told UCD that infants aged under six months should not be marked with dye and that mothers and babies should be kept apart longer to minimize the transfer of the markings. The correspondence has been released under Freedom of Information laws, according to The Guardian.
The tragedy is another problem to confront the primate research operation. The university said it had about 4,200 primates, mostly rhesus macaques, which it keeps for research into HIV/Aids, Zika virus and other infectious diseases, respiratory disease, reproductive health, Alzheimer's disease and aging.
In 2016, it emerged that UCD was among nine federally funded research centers being investigated over mistreatment of primates, according to the Guardian. In March of that year, a primate fractured both legs after escaping through an unsecured door at the facility, with another primate subsequently injured following a similar incident.
UCD has been targeted by animal rights activists over these incidents, as well as a 2005 episode where seven monkeys died from apparent heat exposure. The USDA subsequently handed the university a $4,815 fine.
The New England Anti-Vivisection Society, which wants UC Davis and other facilities to reduce the numbers of primates used for research, said it has written to the USDA requesting that the university be fined $70,000 over the infant monkey deaths, according to The Guardian.

Do you feel like your life is unfulfilling and overly full of challenges? Would you like to make life easier?
If so, you'll be happy to know that you can make changes, starting today, to turn your life around!
Creating a wonderful life is the result of consistently doing things that support your happiness and fulfillment.
If you're ready to create a fulfilled life, keep reading because the following tips will surely help you make it happen!
• For example, you know that your car needs regular oil changes. A natural result of not changing the oil is a ruined car. You can prevent this challenge simply by changing your oil on time. If you can't afford to have the oil changed, learn how to do it yourself. This is one task anyone can learn.
• Being proactive also applies to any task that you're aware of ahead of time, such as projects and reports at your job. Waiting until the last minute to do something ensures that when you finally do it, you'll be full of stress and won't do your best work, both of which can cause further challenges.
• Set goals, write them down, and take action to achieve them. Do something each day to bring you a little closer to the life you desire.
• Keep an eye on your weight and set a hard limit. Once you've reached that limit, it's time for serious action. You can't weigh 250 pounds if you never allow yourself to weigh over 150.
• Start feeding your body the nutrition it craves for peak performance. Make changes a little at a time. For example, add a vegetable or fruit to each meal. Make something homemade with organic ingredients instead of buying processed food. Do this often enough, and you'll develop a taste preference for delicious, healthy food.
• Imagine if you spend three hours each day split between exercising, learning a musical instrument, and running an online business instead of watching YouTube videos. How would your life be different after five years? You can determine today how your life will be in the future.
Instead of spending your extra time watching TV, perhaps you should try some meditation sessions. Meditations are quite powerful and can help us achieve great things in life. Click below to get some great meditations as a free gift.

For the eighth-straight year, Dixie State University's men's basketball program finished ranked in the top-10 nationally at the NCAA Division II level in attendance for the 2017-18 season.
The Trailblazers posted the ninth-highest total attendance number in the country at 26,309 fans in just 10 home dates, which was also second in the Pacific West Conference and the NCAA West Region. In addition, DSU finished second-nationally in season attendance average at 2,630 fans per game, behind only Northern (SD) State, which led the nation in both total attendance (55,980/15 games) and attendance average (3,732).
Since the 2008-09 season, Dixie State has been annually ranked in the top-15 in Division II in attendance, including second-overall in 2012-13 and 2013-14, and third in the country in 2010-11 and 2011-12 campaigns. DSU was also ranked fourth-overall last year, fifth in 2014-15, sixth in 2015-16, ninth in 2009-10, and 14th in 2008-09.
Dixie State also finished sixth among Utah's eight NCAA member institutions in average attendance in 2017-18, behind Brigham Young (227,692/14,230 per game), Utah (199,077/11,710), Utah State (104,159/6,943), Weber State (101,683/6,778) and Utah Valley (58,027/3,413). However, DSU did finish well ahead of Southern Utah (33,518/2,394) and Westminster College (4,345/289).
Since becoming an NCAA Division II program in 2006-07, Dixie State has played to a 112-23 (.829) record inside the Burns Arena under Head Coach Jon Judkins, including an 9-1 mark this past season. The Trailblazers have posted seven 10-plus win seasons in 12 years of NCAA play, including a perfect 12-0 record in 2009-10, and an 11-1 mark in the 2014-15 campaign.
Dixie State, which swept both the Pacific West Conference regular season (18-2) and tournament championships, finished the 2017-18 season with a school record 23 victories as the Trailblazers closed with a 23-7 overall record. The 23 wins also included a school record 17-game winning streak, which was stopped in DSU's NCAA tournament opening round loss to Azusa Pacific (65-69; 3/9/18). DSU's 2018 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball tournament appearance was the program's eighth in the last nine seasons overall.


What's the best way to cook Brussels sprouts? This roasted Brussels sprouts recipe uses a high heat oven to get the outer leaves crispy and salty.
Are you ready for the best Brussels sprouts in your life? OK, good. Because if you're still scarred by gross Brussels sprouts of your childhood, we need to change that! We often get asked: "What's the best way to cook Brussels sprouts?" Lots of questions that we get asked can tend to be more subjective in nature. But this one has one answer! Keep reading for Alex and my best roasted Brussels sprouts recipe.
This might sound crazy, but we are obsessed with these Brussels sprouts. Really. Obsessed with Brussels sprouts might sound a little too good to be true, but right out of the oven, they're crispy, salty, and completely addictive. What's the best way to cook Brussels sprouts to make them addictive?
Well, roasting them in a hot oven! For this recipe we use one of the hottest temps in your oven: 450F. Take your Brussels sprouts, cut them in half, and remove any of the hard ends on them (if some remain). In a bowl, stir them together with some olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh ground pepper. Then throw them onto a parchment lined baking sheet and roast them until the outer leaves start to get very brown and the Brussels sprouts are tender. This only takes about 15 to 20 minutes! It's fantastic to have such a quick cook time.
In this recipe, to our roasted Brussels sprouts we've added savory Pecorino cheese. Pecorino cheese is a hard Italian cheese similar to Parmesan, but with much sharper flavor. If you can't find Pecorino, you can substitute Parmesan instead. And actually, the cheese isn't a deal breaker in this one. For a vegan option, you can omit the cheese!
We've also stirred the roasted Brussels sprouts together with some toasted pecans for a contrasting crunch. The pecans are toasted in a dry skillet on a stovetop for a few minutes until they're toasted and fragrant. Just make sure to watch the pan very carefully so the nuts don't burn!
We know many of you out there might be scarred by nasty canned Brussels sprouts as a child, or just wary of this vegetable in general. What's your thought — would you give them a second chance (or a first chance)?
Looking for more Brussels sprouts recipes?
This roasted Brussels sprouts recipe is vegetarian, gluten-free. For plant-based or vegan, omit the cheese.
Cut the Brussels sprouts off of the stalk and cut off any hard ends, then cut each in half. In a bowl, mix them with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Roast for about 20 minutes until tender and browned, stirring or shaking the pan occasionally.
Meanwhile, place the pecans in a small skillet over low heat, and toast, stirring often, until browned and toasted (be careful that they don't burn).
When Brussels sprouts are done, add the pecans and top with grated Pecorino cheese. Serve immediately.
OMG, this looks amazing, I'm a big Brussels Sprouts lover! Pinning this immediately!

Brussels sprouts and pecans seem to be a match made in heaven, right?! My favorite is when the leaves get all crispy and crunchy, LOVE.

Yes, please! We're begging you.
it's true, brussels sprouts took me many many tries to finally love them. and after that it was all downhill from there. my mom puts pecans in her brussels sprouts too, i will have to convince her to put pecorino in them this year :) p.s what is dessert going to be???? the t.b.d. has me all intrigued!!!!
Haha, no idea yet! We've had several major dessert fails :( Alex had a contender last night, but we're not sure where it will go :) Do you have any good ideas?!
These days I don't know who can say they don't love sprouts! These look amazing!
Oh good, I'm glad they are becoming more mainstream! Roasted sprouts for the win.
Well, after reading this article i thought i must try it for my kid as he used to avoid eating most of the greeny vegetables. I wish this could be the solution for me.
You two are killin' it with this Thanksgiving spread. We should probably do a "friendsgiving" together, because I'm sure you don't already have plans and want to drive to Colorado!
It's funny how divisive Brussels sprouts are but I'm definitely a lover! Your preparation looks amazing!
Gorgeous recipe guys! It's taken me some time to convert most of my extended family to the brussels sprouts bandwagon (still a few hold-outs), but I'm always looking for recipes that everyone will love, and this totally looks like a safe bet. Will be trying this combination for sure!
I adore sprouts, they are one of my favourite vegetables. I'm always looking for new ways of serving them and these look delicious. I've never thought of pairing them with pecans.
Love love love this and brussel sprouts of course! Adding the toasted pecans is a great idea adding this to my thanksgiving spread…thanks!
Can't wait to try this one for Thanksgiving this year! We love Brussels sprouts at our house. :) I normally roast them and combine them with grated parmesan and toasted pine nuts. Delicious. This version will be great for the holiday. Thanks!

-The Austrian Civil War ( _de. Österreichischer Bürgerkrieg), also known as the February Uprising, is a term sometimes used for a few days of skirmishes between socialist and conservative-fascist forces between 12 February and 16 February 1934, in Austria. The clashes started in Linz and took place principally in the cities of Vienna, Graz, Bruck an der Mur, Judenburg, Wiener Neustadt and Steyr, but also in some other industrial cities of eastern and central Austria.
Origins of the conflict
After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (following World War I), the state of Austria - comprising, by and large, the German-speaking parts of the former empire - became constituted as a parliamentary democracy.Two major factions dominated politics in the new nation: socialists (represented politically by the Social Democratic Party of Austria) and conservatives (politically represented by the Christian Social Party). The socialists found their strongholds in the working-class districts of the cities, while the conservatives could build on the support of the rural population and of most of the upper classes. The conservatives also maintained close alliances with the Roman Catholic Church, and could count among their ranks some leading clerics.
As in most of the nascent European democracies of the time, politics in Austria took on a highly ideological flavour. Both the socialist and the conservative camp did not merely consist of political parties, but possessed far-ranging power structures, including their own paramilitary forces. The conservatives began organizing the "Heimwehr" ( _de. home guard) in 1921-1923; the Social Democrats organized paramilitaries called the "Schutzbund" ( _de. defense league) after 1923. Altercations and clashes between these forces (at political rallies, etc.) occurred frequently.
A first major incident ensued early in 1927, when members of the "Frontkämpfervereinigung" ("Front Combat Union" - a paramilitary association likewise affiliated with the conservative camp) shot and killed an eight-year-old boy and a war-veteran marching with the Schutzbund in a counter-demonstration in Schattendorf (Burgenland). In July, three defendants in the case were acquitted, which led to outrage in the leftist camp although the acquittal had been issued by one of the first Austrian courts to operate under an independent jury system, the introduction of which had been a long-standing socialist demand. On 15 July 1927, a general strike occurred, and demonstrations took place in the capital. After the storming of a police station, security forces started shooting at demonstrators. An angry mob then set fire to the Palace of Justice ("Justizpalast"), seen as a symbol of a flawed and partial judicial system. Altogether, 89 people (85 of them demonstrators) lost their lives in this July Revolt of 1927, and many hundreds suffered injury. Surprisingly, the violence soon died down and the factions took their battle from the streets back into the political institutions.
However, the travails of the First Republic only got worse in the following years. The Great Depression also showed its effects in Austria, resulting in high unemployment and massive inflation. In addition, from 1933 - the year Hitler became Chancellor of Germany - National Socialist sympathizers (who wanted a unification of Austria with Hitler's Germany) threatened the Austrian state from within.
On March 4, 1933, Christian Social Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß suspended the Austrian Parliament. In a close vote (on railway workers' wages) in the National Council, each of the three presidents of parliament resigned their position in order to cast a ballot, leaving nobody to preside over the meeting. Even though the bylaws could have resolved this situation, Dollfuss used this opportunity to declare that parliament had ceased to function, and blocked all attempts to reconvene it. The Social Democratic Party had thus lost its major platform for political action. The conservatives, facing pressure and violence not only from the left but also from Nazis infiltrating from Germany, could now rule by decree on the basis of a 1917 emergency law, without checks on their power, and began to suspend civil liberties. They banned the Schutzbund and imprisoned many of its members.
On 12 February 1934, a force, led by Heimwehr commander in Vienna Emil Fey, searched Hotel Schiff in Linz, a property belonging to the Social Democratic Party. Linz Schutzbund commander Richard Bernaschek was the first to actively resist, sparking off armed conflict between a conglomeration of the Heimwehr, the police, the gendarmerie, and the regular Federal Army against the outlawed, but still existent, socialist Schutzbund [Brook-Shepherd 280-281.] . Skirmishes between the two camps spread to other cities and towns in Austria, with the heat of the action occurring in Vienna. There, members of the Schutzbund barricaded themselves in city council housing estates (Gemeindebauten), the symbols and strongholds for the socialist movement in Austria, such as Karl-Marx-Hof. Police and paramilitaries took up positions outside these fortified complexes and the parties exchanged fire, initially only with small arms. Fighting also occurred in industrial towns such as Steyr, Sankt Pölten, Weiz, Eggenberg bei Graz, Kapfenberg, Bruck an der Mur, Graz, Ebensee and Wörgl.
An apparently decisive moment in the events came with the entry of the Austrian military into the conflict. Though the army remained still a comparatively independent institution, chancellor Dollfuß reluctantly shelled Karl-Marx-Hof with light artillery, endangering the lives of thousands of civilians and destroying many apartments before forcing the socialist fighters to surrender [ Reppe 79.] . Viennese and Upper Austrian fighting ended by February 13, but continued heavily in Styrian cities, especially in Bruck an der Mur and Judenburg, until February 14 or 15. After that, there were only small groups of socialists fighting against the military, or fleeing from it. By 16 February 1934, the Austrian Civil War had ended.
Several hundred people (including paramilitaries, members of the security forces and civilians) died in the armed conflict; more than a thousand suffered wounds. The authorities tried and executed nine Schutzbund leaders under the provisions of martial law. In addition, over 1,500 arrests were made. Leading socialist politicians, such as Otto Bauer, were forced into exile [Brook-Shepherd 283.] .The incidents of February 1934 were taken as a pretext by the government to prohibit the Social Democratic Party and its affiliated trade unions altogether. In May, the conservatives replaced the democratic constitution by a corporatist constitution modeled along the lines of Mussolini's fascist Italy; therefore the socialists coined the term Austrofascism although the underlying ideology was essentially that of the most conservative elements in the Austrian Catholic clergy, a feature inconsistent with both Fascism and Nazism. The Patriotic Front ("Vaterländische Front"), into which the Heimwehr and the Christian Social Party were merged, became the only legal political party in the resulting authoritarian regime, the "Ständestaat".
Long-term effects
Though small in scale in an international comparison (and small in scale indeed in the light of the horrible events of World War II which soon followed), the Austrian Civil War nevertheless proved a decisive moment in the history of the Republic. After World War II, when Austria re-emerged on the political landscape as a sovereign nation, politics again fell under the domination of the Social Democrats and the conservatives, who now formed a party called the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP). However, so as to avoid a repeat of the bitter divisions of the First Republic, the leaders of the Second Republic were determined to put the idea of broad consensus at the heart of the new political system. The concept of the 'Grand Coalition' was introduced, in which the two major parties (Social Democrats and People's Party) shared in the government and avoided open confrontation. This system brought with it stability and continuity, but ultimately lead to other political repercussions (also see "Proporz"). But the events of the Austrian Civil War had persuaded many in the political establishment (and, indeed, the population at large) that a slow pace of political reform was a small price to pay for social calm.
However, Austrian political parties often stand accused of having done little to come to terms with the past. Even at the beginning of the 21st century, Austria's society bears the clear marks of division into the "red" (socialist) and "black" (conservative) areas of influence that trace back to the time of the First Republic and its civil war. This continues to cause extensive parallelzation even where ideology should not play the least role, such as in first aid services, automotive organizations, and science.

Shinhan Alternative Investment Management Inc. has invested $300 million in mezzanine debts against Dumbo Heights, an office campus in Brooklyn, on behalf of 10 South Korean institutional investors.
The mezzanine notes are part of the $480 million refinancing package secured by the property's co-owners, including Kushner Companies of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to investment banking sources on Sept. 11.
Shinhan Alternative of South Korea's No. 2 banking group Shinhan Financial underwrote the entire mezzanine tranche and B-note, a secured debt, against the office complex after pooling money from insurance companies and other institutional investors.
A-note, which has seniority in claim over B-note, was underwritten by an unidentified US bank.
"After rounds of refinancing on US properties were wrapped up last year, investment opportunities are dwindling. But domestic demand for US assets remains strong amid heightened uncertainty over the global economy," one of the sources told the Korean Investors.
Annual interest rates for the B-note and the mezzanine debt are 5% and 7%, respectively with a five-year term.
The refinancing was aimed to exit part of investments made by Kushner Companies and co-owners including RFR Realty and LIVWRK Holdings.
In 2013, they jointly bought five properties with a gross floor space of about 70,000 square meters in Brooklyn, New York, for $375 million.
They transformed them into an office and retail complex in a reportedly $100 million project and rebranded them as Dumbo Heights.

Low level laser therapy is a wonderful way of promoting healing in ones body. This type of laser therapy has no side effects, and great benefits by adding ATP and repairing mitochondria of aged or damaged cells. One can describe the influence of local laser on the body as "biological induction" which is for the body as the "butterfly effect" is for our environment. As the laser effect influences each cell it comes in contact with, this produces effects on many cells which in turn, affect the entire system. Therapeutic lasers have a positive influence on cells and tissues by biostimulation/regeneration of tissue, reduction of inflammation, and relief of pain. These lasers increase circulation, enhance the formation of new blood and lymphatic vessels, reduce edema, increase the activity of cartilage forming cells, and enhance the immune system by increasing macrophage activity.
The FDA has recently approved its use for joint problems of almost any type. In this Coral Gables alternative medical practice Dr. Nirenberg has a certification in laser therapy thus allowing her to use low level laser therapy safely and affectively. This laser therapy is used on joint related problems to aid in healing. The following are a few of its' uses in the area of pain: carpal tunnel, shoulders, hips, spinal problems, knees and ankles. Other uses are still considered experimental by the FDA.
Low level and cold laser therapy are both terms used for this beneficial adjunct to an acupuncture treatment. The meaning of these terms is to let the patient know that no heat is produced during a treatment, and that the level of energy being used is at a level that only has benefits to human tissue. The only exception being the eye therefore eye protection is used when this type of laser is anywhere that would allow the patient to look directly into it, as looking directly into laser light can have a negative effect on the retina in the eye. These lasers vary from having between 5mW (milliwatts) to 500mW of power and vary in wavelength from visible red to infrared.
This treatment is used to aid acupuncture as well as being a non-needle treatment used for young children and others. The laser probe is held against the skin to avoid loss of light due to dispersion on the skin's surface. Therapeutic laser light can influence many cells and may activate a number of energetic and biochemical pathways in the body.


Parashat Ki Tetzeh is full of social commandments meant to help Am Yisrael build a proper society after it enters Eretz Yisrael. With these mitzvot, the Torah guides the nation toward becoming a fair society with compassion for the poor and underprivileged.
In today's business world, there is a payment method referred to as "current plus thirty". Meaning, if someone hires someone for a one-time job, they often pay his wages only thirty days past the month in which he worked. There are places where the payment method is even "current plus sixty" or "current plus ninety". In this arrangement acceptable in the eyes of the Torah or not?
Firstly, the Torah commands to pay a daily worker his wages at the end of his workday, no later than sunset. Amazingly, the Torah compares paying him late to exploitation since the hire worker "risks his life" for his wages and when he does not receive them on time, he is like a person who has been exploited out of his money.
This mitzvah refers to everyone; even resident foreigners – non-Jews who had become citizens of the land – had the right to fair and considerate work conditions.
This mitzvah is mentioned also in the book of Vayikra: "You shall not oppress your fellow. You shall not rob. The hired worker's wage shall not remain with you overnight until morning." (Vayikra 19:13) Here too, we are commanded not to withhold wages of a hired worker who completed his work after sunset and the employer must pay the wages by morning. In this verse, the mitzvah is not connected to the poor and is not rationalized with considerations of compassion, such as "risk of life". Here the mitzvah is written as an elementary obligation of basic fairness to every person. Even if the hired worker is rich, withholding his wages is somewhat similar to stealing and oppression.
If this is the case, why does the Torah repeat it in our parasha regarding "the poor and destitute hired worker"? Wouldn't it be obvious from the book of Vayikra that the mitzvah is relevant to any worker? Our sages explain that the main obligation to pay wages on the day the work is done is said of the rich as of the poor. But here the Torah emphasizes that whoever does not pay the poor worker's wages on time, his sin is much greater. In addition to the basic sin, this case has the added tremendous hardship of the poor risking his life for his wages, in addition to the pleading of his wife and children who expect him to bring bread and milk home at the end of his workday.
The Torah adds emphasis regarding the poor and destitute. If you do not pay this wages on time, he will "cry out to the Lord against you", meaning he will complain about you to God, and the "there should be sin upon you". Here too the sages are exact and ask: And if he does not complain about you, it would not be a sin? And they explain: Either way it would be a sin, but God is quicker to punish the sinner when the poor hired worker calls to Him and complains about his cruel employer.
Our historic right to the Land of Israel is solid and strong, its roots run deep. But one must never forget that it is contingent on building a proper and fair society, one that has compassion for its citizens and strangers, a society that would never allow poor and destitute people to cry out to God to complain about their bitter fate, because God hears their pain and punishes those who caused it.

The first photo of Kardashian in character made its way online this week, showing Kanye West's wife on the set of the sitcom with stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs.
In the image, Kardashian, 33, visits the cupcake shop run by besties Max (Dennings) and Caroline (Behrs). Breaking out one of her favorite looks, Kardashian wears a body-hugging all-white dress with cutouts. With her long brunette locks parted down the middle, she smiles as she speaks to the two female leads.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star follows a bevy of famous faces who have made guest appearances on 2 Broke Girls, including Martha Stewart, rapper 2 Chainz, and Lindsay Lohan.
The mother of North West tweeted her excitement at the time of her casting announcement, writing that she "can't wait" for fans to see the episode, when the fourth season premiere airs on Monday, Oct. 27.
"You were so great and funny!!" Behrs tweeted at Kardashian. "Thanks for playing with us."
Kardashian's other past acting credits include bit parts on CSI: NY, Drop Dead Diva, and Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.

Mizzentop Day School provides a stimulating and innovative educational program dedicated to building a supportive community through living values and instilling a love of learning in our students at our private day school.
The Guiding Principles of Mizzentop Day School are:
To develop scholarship, creativity, and character.
To build skills of critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving.
To promote the joy of learning and academic achievement using multi-sensory, project-based methodology.
To foster sensitivity and encourage citizenship in our diverse, global world.
To provide a safe, sound intellectual, emotional, and physical environment where morals and values are embedded in the curriculum in a practical and meaningful manner.
To foster in students a sense of tolerance and social responsibility enabling them to become positive contributors to their respective communities.
To be well prepared socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually, children must be nurtured in an environment that places emphasis on the whole child. MDS offers a challenging program that focuses on each child's personal development and learning styles. We help students learn, and we guide them toward independence and self- confidence in a nurturing, secure, and structured environment.
A strong foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics prepares each child for an increasingly rigorous curriculum in the future. Children are taught according to developmental needs and in the style that best suits them. Small classes allow students to discover and build on personal strengths using a highly integrated curricular approach. Hands-on projects fully engage students, and classrooms vibrate with the activities of curious children. Children are encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and contribute in all areas of their educational day at our private day school in Pawling, NY. Learning from their teachers and from each other, students work together making connections and finding solutions to problems.
MDS views childhood as a journey that is enhanced in a positive and caring learning experience. We stress the importance of building community by establishing routines, procedures, and attitudes that foster trust among the students and teachers. We treat and talk with each other in ways that model respect.
Hundreds of students have benefited thanks to the initiative of Mizzentop Day School's Founding Head, Lisa Daniels. Along with a dedicated group of supporters, Mrs. Daniels launched Mizzentop as a small, independent secular preschool on Quaker Hill in Pawling in 1998. It was a new chapter in the history of education in Pawling and its surrounding communities.
Located 1,600 feet above seawater and reached by steep and winding roads is Pawling's Quaker Hill. Atop this hill but a short three miles east of the hustle and bustle of the Village, one can still find the same quiet serenity that attracted its first settlers in 1764. The meeting house of the Quaker Friends was built here 11 years before the Revolutionary War broke out. Parishioners would lay here in devout contemplation, alongside farmers eager to reap a harvest from the fertile plains of the valleys below, and patriots whose mission it was to secure the hopes of their generation and quell its fears.
The village was founded in 1788 and less than a century later, the New York and Harlem Railroad was extended into Pawling, bringing with it the prosperity and grandeur of the late 1800's. The town would be home to two hotels that would accommodate the sudden influx of city dwellers yearning for the "clean air" of the countryside. The first, the Dutcher House - named after its founder, politician and railroad tycoon John B. Dutcher - would be located but a few footsteps away from the train depot located in the heart of the village. The second, also financed by Dutcher and backed by town notable Albert Akin, would be completed in June, 1881. Dutcher's second project would boast 145 rooms and would command an extensive view of the rugged peaks of the Harlem Valley.
The second hotel, set high atop Quaker Hill, would be named by Admiral John Lorimer Worden, the former commander of the Civil War ship USS Monitor. Struck one day by the sweeping landscape of rolling peaks and valleys below, Worden chose the nautical term, "mizzen," used in sailing to describe the sail, mast, and platform located toward the stern of the ship, to describe the hotel's spectacular location. It would be called, he decided, the Mizzen-Top Hotel.
The din of the financial crisis of the Great Depression, however, loomed overhead. In 1906, Dutcher would sell the Dutcher House to Dr. Frederick L. Gamage, headmaster of St. Paul's School of Long Island, who eagerly sought a location for an institution of his own. The Dutcher House would thus be transformed into the Pawling School, the first location of the all-boys preparatory school that is now known as Trinity-Pawling. With conditions becoming ever more dire, Mizzen-Top would soon be demolished, its name a monument to the courage and endurance of that trying time.
Strengthened By Time
Unbeknownst to him at the time, John Dutcher, through the careful stewardship of his land and with his steadfast perseverance, inspired not one school but two in the town of Pawling. Perhaps our founding headmaster, Lisa Daniels, recognized this as she sought the ideal location for a small, independent secular preschool, and in doing so found the Lowell Thomas Center on the site of the old Mizzen-Top Hotel at the crest of Quaker Hill. True to its namesake, Mizzentop Day School would become a guiding force in education with its small classes and individually-tailored learning environment, steeped in the rich traditions of its past but ever looking forward.
Mindful Growth
Mizzentop outgrew its first campus in 2002, a mere four years after Lisa Daniels opened its door in September of 1998. By the time we moved off Quaker Hill and into the heart of Pawling, our program had grown to include art, music, drama, computer science, physical education, foreign language, and overnight field trips. After the move to our present location in what was then the Norman Vincent Peale Center for Positive Thinking was complete, Mizzentop added a Middle School and graduated its first class two years later in 2004.
Mizzentop Today
Over the past two decades, Mizzentop has remained steadfast in its mission: to provide a stimulating and innovative educational program dedicated to building a supportive community through living values and instilling a love of learning in our students. Our students learn in an environment with caring and knowledgeable faculty that encourage them to speak up, ask questions, and contribute in all areas of their education. Many of our students go on to attend the leading secondary schools, colleges, and universities throughout the United States, including Cornell, Princeton, Colgate, and New York University, and they become leaders in their communities.

Vote for Kawhi Leonard for the Best NBA Player ESPY
You know, if you care about that kind of thing.
By Renato Goncalves@renatodsg Jun 26, 2017, 8:54am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Vote for Kawhi Leonard for the Best NBA Player ESPY
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
The NBA season is over, so now it's Awards Season. The best players, coaches and moments of last year will be recognized, and one of the most important awards is the ESPYS, the event hosted every July by ESPN that rewards players from all sports.
The nominees for Best NBA Player nominees this year are: Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors), NBA champion and Finals MVP; James Harden (Houston Rockets), who had a great regular season and is among the favorites for MVP; LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers), who averaged a triple double in the Finals; Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder), who averaged a triple double in the regular season and was maybe the most entertaining NBA player of last season.
Oh, and then there's Kawhi Leonard. The most complete player in basketball. The guy who followed Tim Duncan as the team's leader and made sure the San Antonio Spurs were not only competitive, but contended for the title. The guy who was giving the Warriors everything they wanted in the Western Conference Finais before ... sigh.
Yeah, Kawhi is awesome, and he was his most awesome this past season. You can vote for Kawhi to win Best NBA Player in the ESPYS, if that's the kind of thing that you like to do.


One of the most interesting announcements that the governor made at his State of the State speech last month was the proposed closure of a state prison facility, Crossroads Correctional Center. At first, I thought there would be some political pushback to the consolidation that was suggested, given that every prison is of course situated in several elected officials' districts and is generally a pretty big employer.
That pushback didn't materialize, though, because not only would jobs not be lost, but the workers at Crossroads would be employed at a nearby facility. Specifically, when I heard it mentioned during debate on the Senate floor that Crossroads was across the street from the facility it would be consolidated with—the Western Missouri Correctional Center (WMCC)—at first I thought that was an exaggeration. "Across the street?" Really?
The department has been battling to fill hundreds of correctional officer job vacancies. [State Department of Corrections Director Anne] Precythe says the reorganization plan will create a fully-functioning, safe environment, versus trying to "limp along" with two half-staffed, half-full institutions.
The estimated $20 million savings from closing CRCC is slated to give department employees, minus executive staff, a one percent pay raise for two years of continued service. If Parson's proposed three percent state worker pay increase happens, then corrections workers would get another raise. Precythe has touted the pay boost as the largest in the department's history.
This consolidation may have been in the works for a while, but whatever its genesis, it's an elegant solution to saving taxpayer money and reorienting, if ever so slightly, the state's criminal justice strategy. If the state can build fewer prisons and push potential inmates back into being contributing members of society, Missourians on the whole will be that much better off.
