JumpStart Animal Adventures
When a bat named Batney Ears started singing like Britney Spears, not only were we hooked--we also learned about echolocation. JumpStart: Animal Adventures is a lush mix of entertainment and education that does detailed justice to the wild world of animals.The program starts with the news that Habitat magazine is looking for kids who love animals to enter a contest. To fill out the four contest-entry forms, kids must explore a temperate forest, an African savanna, a rain forest, and a tide pool to gather animal information, photographs, and points. Each habitat has three screens, with gorgeous graphics and rich, ambient sound. Leafcutter ants, elephants, crabs, and 37 other creatures gladly share information about themselves and their environment. Clicking on certain animals will yield a catchy video (imagine crabs sounding like Green Day as they sing about limb regeneration) and games.
The games, which can be adjusted to three difficulty levels, give this program a seamless feel, adding depth to the educational experience. For example, when kids click on a beaver, the beaver launches into a detailed explanation of why it builds dams. The beaver then invites players to cut trees for a dam, adding that they must be small trees because beavers can't move larger ones. After the correct trees are gnawed down, kids can complete the dam by fitting the downed trees into a dam-shaped puzzle. After that, they're invited to gather mud from the riverbank, then help the beaver use his tail to pack the mud into the dam. Your child will play four games, hone spatial and sorting skills, and develop an in-depth understanding of the phrase "busy as a beaver." And this is just one animal in a program that has dozens of creatures to learn from.
Goal-oriented kids will love relentlessly progressing toward the various rewards the program offers, culminating in a quiz show called "The Animal Smarts Game" that can be played alone, or with a friend. Free-form exploration is also an option. We were impressed with the way JumpStart: Animal Adventures immersed us in exotic environments, and treated games as a teaching tool instead of an afterthought. (Ages 4 and older) --Anne Erickson

How to Deliver a Good Academic Presentation
Many people are extremely accomplished at researching and writing academic papers. However, when it comes to presenting this research or findings to an audience, a lot of people struggle. They find the whole experience very daunting and this can have a negative impact on their confidence and ultimately on their grades. Delivering a presentation of your research findings is one of the best ways to get your message across. So what can you do to assist you to deliver a good academic presentation?
Do not assume that if the papers findings are good the presentation will automatically be good - this is not the case! Just transferring your paper to slides does not make for a good academic presentation.
There are some things that you can do to make the presentation better including;
‧ Dress the part
‧ Never start by apologising for your work - this portrays you in a bad light to the audience
‧ Never underestimate your audience! People who have turned up to hear your presentation do not want to be patronised and made to feel stupid
‧ Don't try to cram the whole paper or thesis into one presentation. You have to assume some level of background knowledge and present points that can be delivered in a reasonable amount of time
‧ Stick to the time allocated! Plan your presentation to the time given to ensure that you cover all points and are not stopped just as you are about to make the most important point
‧ Each slide should take one to two minutes depending on your speaking style
‧ Remember the presentation is not about you, it is about the topic or ideas that you are presenting. These are what are under scrutiny - not you.
‧ Do not include the whole literature review - this can make a presentation very dull
‧ Do not use numerous quotes as this can bore the audience and feel like you are presenting someone else's work
‧ Present the information in a visually stimulating way to convey your main points
‧ Use bullet points rather than paragraphs
‧ Speak loudly enough so that people at the back can hear
‧ Make eye contact with more than one person
‧ Do not include too many jokes
‧ Do not have too many slides - again this will bore the audience and opens up the potential to drown the main point - generally about fifteen slides is sufficient
‧ Be prepared for difficult questions - at least this shows the audience were listening!

The No Child Left Behind Showdown (Time.com)
Is it finally the beginning of the end for No Child Left Behind?
Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced late last week that if Congress does not overhaul the ten-year old federal education law known as No Child Left Behind in the next few months, he will do it himself. His plan? To give states waivers from some of the law's provisions in exchange for a commitment to undertake a currently unspecified set of reforms. Immediately dubbed "Plan B" by the Secretary and others, the announcement was not a surprise. Using regulations to amend the law, which is years overdue to be revised, has been under consideration for months. Still, the reaction to Duncan's announcement highlighted why Congress is having such a hard time fixing the law in the first place. (See "Can Anyone Change No Child Left Behind?")
Let's take the objections in order:
Not surprisingly, leaders in Congress were not pleased. Even though Duncan has the legal authority to waive a variety of provisions in the law - essentially those not dealing with money or civil rights - Congress understandably sees making laws as their turf. The secretary is betting that the threat of being preempted will be enough to prod action on Capitol Hill.Perhaps he's right. The Republican Chairman of the House education committee and his Democratic counterpart in the Senate both agreed that Duncan's proposal was a bad idea.That was the first glimmer of education bipartisanship in a long while.
The chattering class was even sourer. American Enterprise Institute scholar and pundit Rick Hess accused Duncan of trammeling on the Constitution. Education reform critic Diane Ravitch rushed to agree, and those two agree on little these days, so again, Duncan succeeded in bridging differences.But while Hess and Ravitch called on Duncan to read the Constitution, they might want to read the No Child Law itself. The waiver authority is long standing and clearly spelled out. Secretary of Education Margaret SpellingsDuncan's predecessor in the Bush Administration used it several times to launch pilot projects for various reform ideas. And waivers and regulations are a common tool for policymaking on a range of issues besides education. (See 11 education activists for 2011.)
Education's alphabet soup of special interest groups were not any happier. They've been demanding waivers for years but this wasn't quite what they had in mind - they object to Duncan's idea to attach reform conditions to any regulatory relief. School reform groups, conversely, worried that any conditions would be toothless and weaken the law's emphasis on accountability for struggling students. Privately, reformers worried that by this fall the figures driving decision-making at the White House were as likely to be the President's reelection numbers as school performance data.
It's not an unwarranted concern. History doesn't bode well for proponents of accountability and waivers have rarely led to reforms. Most recently, during the Bush Administration, there were several attempts to use waivers to change the No Child policy. As a rule when education special interest groups, especially the teachers unions, favored suggested changes - for instance revisions to the No Child law's school accountability rules to make it easier for schools to meet performance targets - they sailed through. But when proposed fixes were not so popular - for example when Secretary Rod Paige tried to change how the law affects local collective bargaining agreements - they were stopped dead in their tracks. In other words, if Duncan's reform conditions are too stringent the administration could find itself under intense political pressure, challenged in court, or both. (Read about states' rights on school reform.)
It's worth remembering that this latest No Child Left Behind contretemps is only unfolding because Congress has been unable to revise the law since it was first scheduled to do so in 2007. In addition to the general dysfunction plaguing Washington, these days the lack of progress owes to disagreements between key special interest and reform groups, the House and the Senate, and Democrats and Republicans. One senator told me that, given a free hand to rewrite the federal education law, their version would represent the biggest rollback of the federal role in a generation - but even their streamlined version wouldn't satisfy conservatives in both chambers.
So as students stream out of school for the summer it's a safe bet that the law will be exactly the same when they return this fall. In fact, most Washington insiders think Congress won't be able to finish work on the law until after the next election. Waivers would make that pretty much a certainty. If the almost universal unpopularity of Duncan's proposal ends up bringing people together and energizing the legislative process, then it's a clever act of leadership. Otherwise, the Administration is undertaking a risky political high-wire act through the waiver process. In fact, all things considered, it's not too soon to start asking what Plan C is?

Dewey And Habermas On Educational Binarisms
My interests in the relations obtaining between personal desires and the engagement with learning are traceable to my own experiences of returning to education as an adult. After leaving school at 16, with no expectation that I would ever go to university, I worked for 12 years in industry. I returned to education and enrolled at a university after becoming unemployed during the economic downturn of the early 1990s. I well remember the clear sense I had of wishing to study a particular kind of subject; something in no way related to my past career; and which would ideally be utterly lacking, for me at least, in any sense of being work-related. This was the means through which I would strive to change the trajectory of my life. However, with hindsight and an enhanced capacity for reflexive analysis, I am now acutely aware that my decision to study the subjects that I did - and for 'their own sake' - was underpinned by these very concrete, personal, objectives.
In the event, I was fortunate. I secured a good degree, a teaching qualification, and a masters degree. After teaching at an independent college, I again returned to university to teach and to research for a Ph.D., and sought to apply the skills and knowledge I had accumulated, together with the insights afforded through my own experiences, to furthering my understanding of the experiences of adult learners. During my research, and in conversations with my informants, I took the opportunity to explore the nature of the relationship between desire, motivation, and the engagement with learning, and to review how educational theorists typically approach this question. Among the thinkers who have considered the relations obtaining between particular conceptions of 'what education is for', John Dewey and JUrgen Habermas are worth attention.
Dewey and Habermas strive to synthesise the academy's 'pure' and 'practical' ends, though both also recognise that the ultimate justification for our system of education (again, here, the academy) should, and indeed does, amount to more than the sum of these two social purposes. For Dewey, a principle concern is that education fosters democracy, in the broadest sense, and that the academy is thus characterised by democratic relationships. Habermas, too, regards issues of democracy as fundamental, for it is democracy that facilitates universities as "communities of reason" in which "values are always under discussion".[i] What emerges in the ideas of Dewey and Habermas is a picture of the academy in which its raison d'etre is not construed as a simple choice between the 'pure' and the 'practical', but one in which these aims are melded, and are pursued and combined within a community, the denizens of which are encouraged go beyond this simple binarism and to develop and to apply democratically the faculty of reason.
Despite the force of Dewey's and Habermas's arguments, Ostovich demonstrates that the essentially binary conception of education with which they take issue, and which is deeply rooted in antiquity, remains in broad circulation. Moreover, versions of this binarism are apparent not only in discussions of the relations between education and wider society, but also in analyses of individuals' motivations in engaging with learning. In an article written in 1973, W.K. Frankena clearly seeks to establish a 'pure' versus 'practical' binary distinction at both the societal and individual levels, despite confusedly imbuing each of the categories he identifies with a broadly instrumental tenor. Frankena notes that education has been traditionally construed as having four purposes. The first and third of these, as he recounts them, consist of the material advancement of the individual or of wider society, whilst the second and fourth consist of the moral and virtuous advancement of society and of the individual, respectively.[ii] Whilst Frankena makes the common error of confusing one form of instrumentalism with another, it is clear from his subsequent remarks that his intention is to draw a distinction between broadly Sophist and Platonic conceptions of education. He therefore continues in a vein that is prescient of much in current discourse:
"(This debate) is still with us in the question whether the emphasis in education should be on method or skill, or on knowledge and truth... At any rate, many 'consumers', if not thinkers about education, seem to conceive of it as a tool or toy, much as the Sophists did."[iii]

Nursing College - History to Today
A nursing college is a type of educational asylum providing pedagogy and real time training to become a fully modified nurse. The nature of instruction and qualifications varies substantially across the concerns in the world, which is for example nursing in US is different from the nursing in the UK.
One of the pioneers in establishing the idea of schools was Florence Nightingale from her foot at St Thomas' Hospital, London in 1860 when she unsealed the 'Nurse Breeding Cultivate for Nurses'. Her view was to prepare nurses to an unlimited quality, with the key aim of acquisition to prepare attention of skills and sensitiveness to patient needs, then estimate them to transmute in infirmary posts across the unregimented Land and foreign. Her affect flourished and nursing is now a teaching taught at all country universities.
Florence Nightingale established the Bellevue Hospital School of, New Dynasty Municipality which was founded in 1873, was the archetypal edifice of nursing in the United States to be supported on the principles of nursing. The period operated at Bellevue Hospital until its shutdown in 1969. One of the very primary nursing schools which constituted in the United States was the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing founded in 1889 in consultation with Florence Nightingale. The University of Minnesota was the premiere university based on nursing package. In 1923, in the United States, Yale School of Nursing became the premier sovereign school of the programme rather than on hospital function needs.. It had its own faculty, budget, dean, and degree meeting the standards of the University. In 1956, the Columbia University School of Nursing became the honours in the United States to parcel the master's degree in a clinical specialty.
Math, English, and other basic level courses are required as the prior condition to get training of the courses. Standard courses in biology, anatomy and physiology are compulsorily required. Set coursework includes pharmacology, pathology, anatomy and physiology. Moreover, a reinforced grandness is set on procedural upbringing, specified as movement of intravenous and urinary catheters, sterilised dressing changes, correct management of medications, tangible examinations, love bedside demeanour, and other essential skills. After the original semester canonical skills are obtained, students circumvolve through Obstetrics, Mental Health, Medical, Surgical, Oncology, Critical Care and Paediatric Units to get a perfect view of nursing and what it includes. Several schools use an accelerated Bachelors point in software. A saltation of the Second degree BSN is the Accelerated BSN. In company to having you approval for having realised your liberal discipline requirements, an Accelerated BSN show instrumental countenance you to thoroughgoing your undergrad programme's education requirements soon quickly than students registered in a conventional BSN nursing idea. Expedited BSN programs ordinarily consume 12 months to Level BSN and Expedited BSN programs. A 3.0 GPA is often an entrance requirement for both Second Degree BSN and Accelerated BSN programs.

Tad, Leap, and Lily hop from the pages of the amazingly popular Leap Pad learning toys onto the television screen in this attention grabbing phonics program. Tad's disappointment at being unable to help his family with an important presentation at the letter factory quickly turns to excitement when he meets Professor Quigley and joins each of the letters of the alphabet in their own fun-filled classroom devoted to learning their unique sound. Tad practices karate kicks with the k's, digs the vibes with the cool cat d's drumming on the bongos, and snores peacefully with the z's while learning to recognize each letter and the sound it makes. A catchy, fun song serves as a summation of each letter's "class" and entices even the most reluctant of toddlers (and their parents) to sing each letter's sound. An interactive game follows the program and gives children a chance to practice their newfound skills of recognizing letters and their sounds. Consumers expect great educational products from LeapFrog and this DVD won't disappoint. (Ages 2 to 5) --Tami HoriuchiPrice: $14.95

Redefining Success: Is There Only One Way To An Education?
The question of whether or not a college education pays has been rumbling on the sidelines of reform discussions for some years. It got a renewed kick in the rear this week when PayPal co-founder, Facebook investor and billionaire Peter Thiel offered 20 promising young people a $100,000 not to go to college and instead pursue their entrepreneurial talents. The challenge, however, is not an issue of college vs. no-college, rather it is a question of how we are defining success and are we encouraging people to create it in a way that works.
Like so many societal institutions that have run amok, higher education has become a bureaucratic, monolithic system driven by profits, ranking and reputation rather than by openness, creativity and a sincere desire to educate the next generation of citizens-and we are all responsible for the monster that has been created. Education has always been the holy grail of advancement-with greater knowledge came the ability to create wealth, standing and perhaps an impact on the community. Yet somewhere along the way the desire for knowledge became separated from the cultivation of wisdom-knowledge was something to pursue and own for the purpose of achieving worldly success, while understanding how to best use it in service to others became a quaint relic of a bygone era.
So what did we do-we told everyone that the only way to a successful future was to go to school and become the ultimate achiever-academic excellence, excelling in sports and extra-curricular activities all with the aim of getting into the "best" college and to start the process over again to then to get into graduate school and repeat. Viewed from a distance, would any reasonable person find this to be an effective way for anyone, let alone a young person, to develop their unique talents and skills? And with the almighty dollar sign shining in their eyes, universities have spent millions of dollars reinforcing the notion that their degrees are the only key to future success and happiness.
So what is the outcome of all this focus on degrees and resumes? As a professor for sixteen years at a major university, I can tell you first-hand that a majority of students in the classroom are minimally focused on the value of the education for the knowledge and wisdom and are simply walking through the requirements to get a degree. University administrators are more focused on profits than supporting effective learning, continually shifting resources away from day-to-day classroom activities to the point where another professor remarked to me, "there is absolutely no economic incentive to teach in the classroom any longer." Given all these factors, should we be surprised that more and more students are racking up enormous student loan debt only to find that after jumping through the all the "right" hoops that they can't find rewarding work?
Redefining success is the first step in rectifying our skewed and abused education system. Simply going through the motions to achieve a goal needs to end and recognizing that each person has something unique to contribute to the world as the basis for their success is essential. If we start from this premise, each student can create a path for lifelong learning that suits his or her talents, skills and passion. Yes, there are basics that everyone needs to know to function in society and we can do a better job of allowing individuals to acquire this information in a variety of ways-and direct experience, as Peter Thiel is focusing on, is a critical part of the learning process.
Perhaps instead of starting with an external objective of a degree, a piece of paper that is supposed to tell people how smart and qualified we are, we begin by asking students to define who they are based on themselves and then to cultivate the talents and skills that will allow them to effectively put the best of themselves out in the world. Fueled by their passion, students would naturally gravitate to the courses, classrooms and experiences that would enhance their skills and they would readily participate and assimilate the knowledge rather than simply shove it in their heads until they are asked to regurgitate it again.
Individuals would then become perennial learners growing, discovering, evolving and (yes!) teaching others as they traveled the path that best suits them and allows them to be happiest. Then external accomplishments of money and status would be the outgrowth of sincere interests and efforts and not the hollow victory after years of suffering through others' expectations. Pollyannaish, perhaps, and yet, I ask anyone to argue that what we are doing now in education is working.
The idea that education is not a clear-cut way to happiness and success is frightening. I believe that knowledge is vitally important to our society and even more important is the wisdom to use it well. Wisdom is not acquired on cue; it is cultivated in an atmosphere where open minds and hearts meet to exchange ideas and to help one another along the way. The time has come for us to shift our educational expectations and experiences-and I bet there are lots of young people out there who would love the opportunity to do just that.

What Alternatives Are There To Shoes?
Shoes are one of the essential items in every person's clothing collection. From the moment we can walk until the moment we die we wear hundreds of different types, styles, makes and colours of shoe to help us walk, run, climb, swim and generally stay warm or cool all year round.
But what if we don't want to wear shoes? What if you have a rare genetic condition which means that your feet are too big for any normal shoes? What if you hate all the commercial stuff that dictates what shoes we wear and want something different? Well here are some suggestions...
Bare Feet
It may seem just a little bit too obvious but why not just wear no shoes at all? As humans, we are certainly designed in a way that are bodies don't need to have bits of rubber attached to them for us to be able to walk around without any problems. Certainly with all the concrete around now they are certainly a good idea, but still not 100% necessary.
Some even suggest that we would walk a lot better and have a better physique and posture if we stopped wearing shoes. Having shoes in some way apparently makes us walk wrong. Our bodies don't expect so much foot support and without them there would be different stresses and strains on our legs and backs that we are better designed to deal with. Getting your first thorn in your foot may put you off this quickly though.
Skates
Wearing roller blades or skates to work may not seem very professional, but as an alternative to shoes they make a lot of sense. They feel like any kind of regular mens trainers on your feet, and once you get the hang of starting and stopping and not falling over, your skates will provide you with a lot faster way of getting around, while still making a statement about your personality. Indeed: why are there not more smart work shoes or Dr Martens boots with wheels in the bottom?
Foot Thongs
A little known trick of some contemporary dancers who are supposed to appear to dance bare foot on stage is that they are in fact wearing something called a 'foot thong'. In Australia they call what people in the UK call 'flip-flops', thongs, but these are not to be confused with 'foot thongs'. These are like a small sock with reinforced pads around the front part of the sole of your foot that from a distance are invisible. These allow the wearer all the freedom of being barefoot but with all the protection of a particularly well fitting sandal.
Sam Qam is a shoe wearer. He likes to wear Dr Martens Boots and any particularly fancy type of mens trainers over any other type of shoes.

Continuing Medical Education for Anesthesia and Its Importance to MOCA
Continuing Medical Education or CME is a method for all medical professionals to stay updated in the latest technologies and discoveries in their field of choice. This is very important because medical science is an ever changing science, and what was true while you were still in school may not necessarily be considered to be helpful now. MOCA or Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology is an on-going process of assessment of one's medical licensure specifically for anesthesiologists.
The concept of Maintenance of Certification started in 1999 with the ABMS or the American Board of Medical Specialties. Because ABA or the American Board of Anesthesiology is a member of ABMS, they implemented MOC activities. It was also a way for ABA to prove that they were committed to making certain that all their professional members strive for quality patient care as well as clinical outcomes. As I said, MOCA is a program that requires life-long commitment to the maintenance and improvement of an anesthesiologist's quality of work. Only after a diplomate completes all MOCA requirements within ten years will he be awarded with a certificate for MOCA and be allowed to continue to practice in the specialty and subspecialty of anesthesia.
The MOCA program has four parts and this is where continuing medical education comes in. The first part is the professional standing assessment. In order for a diplomate to complete this part, he or she must maintain an active and unrestricted license to practice his or her profession in at least one part of the United States or Canada. The second part is the lifelong learning and self-assessment. As a diplomate, you must dedicate yourself to engage in continuing medical education with a total of 350 credits; at least 250 of those should be Category 1 credits. The third part is the cognitive expertise assessment. In this part, a diplomate must successfully complete an online test prepared and provided by ABA. A third of the test will be regarding general anesthesia and the rest will cover subspecialties in the field. The fourth and final part is the practice performance assessment and improvement; here a diplomate will be assessed in his performance in the clinical area either by peer review or case evaluation and simulation.
Although continuing medical education is only technically required in the second part of the MOCA program, it is necessary in the completion of the rest of the parts. If you look closely, continuing medical education is still required on the third and fourth part of the program wherein you will be tested on your knowledge and skills. With proper CME, you can ensure that you stay up-to-date with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide quality service.

France During World War 2 and What Americans May Not Know
When the war in Iraq began, I was made painfully aware of the lack of knowledge and understanding many Americans had about France's circumstances as it entered the Second World War. My native country was trashed in the press, French wine was thrown down into ditches, and the French were painted as cowards who wouldn't fight. I feel compelled to offer some information that, hopefully, will dispel some of these impressions.
Born in France at the beginning of World War II, I am a product of both wars. My grandfather was commandant of a large French Air Base, and I sat on his laps for hours as he told me great stories about the Great War. I also have a very personal experience of the Second World War and vividly recall bombs falling around me, the terrible years of German occupation, and our deliverance by America. (I was among the hundreds of little children being tossed rations and candy bars from passing U.S. tanks.)
Many Americans are not aware of France's circumstances as it entered the Second World War: The fact is that the First World War left France's infrastructure in shambles; railroads, airports, bridges, naval ports, hospitals, schools and thousands homes and municipal buildings were obliterated. Her army, once considered the best in Europe, was decimated. One million three hundred thousand men died, and France lost the best of its youth.Thousand men returned from prison camps so weak they were never able to work again.
When the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, America made generous loans to both France and Germany. France used the funds to rebuild the country, and by the time the Second War started, only 20 years after the First World War and in the midst of the Great Depression, France had achieved its goal. The country was almost back to normal. There were no funds left, however, to rebuild the army, and air force, or train new troops.
Germany, on the other hand, suffered little damage to its country's infrastructure in the First World War and used the American funds to rebuild its war arsenal. When World War II began in September 1939, Germany possessed five times the number of planes, tanks, trucks and weapons than did France and its allies, and a large, well trained force. Additionally, other than Poland, none of the Allies who initially joined France in 1914 agreed to join her in 1939. It must also be said that France's government was in constant political turmoil during most of those twenty years. So, France entered the Second World War in a weaken state and without enthusiasm.
I hope this will make you look at France in a different way and with a little more compassion and understanding. My next articles will take you into France's occupation by Germany and the years afterward. Hope to see you then.

Ex-Conn. school dean gets prison for sex assaults (AP)
LITCHFIELD, Conn. – A former dean at an exclusive Connecticut boarding school was sentenced Friday to 9 1/2 years in prison for sexually abusing four students, after one of the victims and relatives of others testified about how their lives were turned upside down by the crimes.
Robert Reinhardt, 46, former dean of The Gunnery school in Washington, Conn., was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom as members of the audience cried and hugged. Reinhardt had apologized before Litchfield Superior Court Judge Charles Gill sentenced him, but it was unspecific and was taken as insincere by the prosecutor and some in the crowd.
Reinhardt only said, "I'm sorry for all the events that have occurred." In April, he pleaded to three counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of risk of injury to a minor under the Alford doctrine, in which defendants dispute the allegations but admit there's enough evidence to be convicted.
After prison, Reinhardt, of Telford, Pa., will be on probation for 30 years and must register as a sex offender for 10 years. He will also be barred from having unsupervised contact with children and from working where children are present.
One of the victims testified that he was 16 years old when he began a secret two-year relationship with Reinhardt around 2002. He said he was one of the vulnerable youths Reinhardt preyed upon. At the time his mother was dying of cancer.
The man, who is gay, said Reinhardt threatened to tell others about his sexuality and warned that his grades would suffer if he told anyone about the relationship. The victim's name wasn't disclosed, and The Associated Press does not identify sexual assault victims in most cases.
"He's taken so much youth, passion and life from so many," the man said. "I'm a changed man because of this, and not for the better."
He then glared at Reinhardt, who continued looking straight ahead at the judge.
Reinhardt resigned from the school in June 2009 after the allegations surfaced and was arrested two months later. He had been on the faculty since 1996 and was named dean in 2006. Authorities said the assaults occurred mostly at Reinhardt's on-campus apartment and included various sex acts, but not forcible rape.
A mother of another victim testified that her son endured death threats and other nasty online messages as word of his allegations made the rounds. Reinhardt was a popular figure at the 161-year-old school in the western Connecticut hills where tuition is $40,000 a year. The mother said friends and faculty distanced themselves from her son and blamed him for what they thought were untrue charges.
She also said that during the investigation, her son had to look at police photographs of "trophies" found in Reinhardt's on-campus apartment, including 18 pairs of boy's underwear.
"I've seen a personality change in my son," she said before starting to cry. "He may say he's happy or he's sad, but I think for the last two years, he's been in a state of numbness."
Other victims have told officials that the abuse left them with psychological problems, including suicidal thoughts, traumatic memories and the inability to trust others. Susan Smith, a lawyer for three of the four victims, said one of her clients attempted suicide last spring.
She called Reinhardt a "polished and practiced sexual predator" who should never be allowed around children again.
Robert Reardon, a lawyer for the fourth victim, said Reinhardt molested his client more than 70 times during visits to Reinhardt's apartment three to four times a week. Reardon said the victims in the case are upset that Reinhardt hasn't confessed.
Reardon's client has dropped out of high school and continues to undergo counseling.
"My client has permanent scars. My client will never recover from what he has been put through," he said.
Gill told Reinhardt's victims that they didn't do anything wrong.
"There's nothing I can do to undo the harm to everyone," Gill said.
Three of the victims have lawsuits pending against Reinhardt and the school.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Terri Sonnemann said that while she wanted to see a longer prison sentence for Reinhardt, she was glad the victims didn't have to testify at a trial.
"Four young men can now move forward," she said. "There is hope. There has to be."

Hands Across Tunisia - A Brief History of Tunisia
Tunisian History
Tunisia's positioning is in the heart of the Mediterranean placing it in the cross-ways of several of the worlds distinguished civilizations. Conquerors such as Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Turks, Spanish and French have all left their legacies in both art architecture and the rich fabric of the Tunisian high society.
Tunisia is likewise to the home of Hannibal and the positioning of the ancient urban center of Carthage that was the navel world power of the day.
In this department, we'll contribute selective information on Tunisian History along with points and listings for Museums and attractions that make Tunisia a miraculous place to see.
Tunisia, in addition to, has a rich Islamic inheritance with numerous beautiful mosques and among one of the holiest metropolises in Islam in Kairouan. Nonetheless, you'll be able to experience and see minarets and listen to the the call to prayer in any township and urban center in Tunisia.
If a more modern take on history is your affair, then you're guaranteed to have a dandy time in the south of Tunisia exploring locations used in several films such as "Star Wars" and "The English Patient".
You will be able to even stay in a troglodyte cave for the night if your heart is fixated on doing this.
1st, I would like to explain and clear up a couple of matters. Broadly speaking, in the academic world, we divide humanity's past into 2 main periods: prehistoric culture and History. And so, what is the difference of opinion between these 2 periods and when did they come about?
The difference between the 2 is the "visual aspect of Writing"; in the Prehistory period humanity hadn't yet began to write but in the History period we start to see proof and evidence of it.
Presently, we think the Prehistory period starting with the 1st known biped primates - the Australopithecus, who came out roughly around six million years BC - and ended around the fifth century BC.
Further more, the History period began with Herodotus (Halicarnassus, 484 BC - Thourioi, 420 BC) as he was the 1st historian, that's why we call him "The Father of History". So from now on we have Prehistory and History. Inside those 2 periods there are "sub-periods":
The Prehistory period has 3 sub-periods:
- The Paleolithic - The Neolithic - The age of iron
The History period has 4 sub-periods:
- The Antiquity (From Herodotus till the fall of Rome on 476 AD)
- The Medieval period (From 476 AD till the fall of Constantinople on 1453)
- The Modern Period (From 1453 till the French Revolution on 1789)
- The Contemporary period (From 1789 till now)
If we examine and take a closer look at all those dissimilar periods of Tunisian Prehistory and History, we'll see that Tunisia has always been symbolized and represented.

Lies, Damned Lies, and Science: How to Sort through the Noise around Global Warming, the Latest Health Claims, and Other Scientific Controversies
“Comprehensive, readable, and replete with current, useful examples, this book provides a much-needed explanation of how to be a critical consumer of the scientific claims we encounter in our everyday lives.”
—April Cordero Maskiewicz, Department of Biology, Point Loma Nazarene University
“Seethaler’s book helps the reader look inside the workings of science and gain a deeper understanding of the pathway that is followed by a scientific finding—from its beginnings in a research lab to its appearance on the nightly news.”
—Jim Slotta, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
“How I wish science was taught this way! Seethaler builds skills for critical thinking and evaluation. The book is rich with examples that not only illustrate her points beautifully, they also make it very interesting and fun to read.”
—Julia R. Brown, Director, Targacept, Inc.
Don’t Get Hoodwinked! Make Sense of Health and Science News...and Make Smarter Decisions!
Every day, there’s a new scientific or health controversy. And every day, it seems as if there’s a new study that contradicts what you heard yesterday. What’s really going on? Who’s telling the truth? Who’s faking it? What do scientists actually know–and what don’t they know? This book will help you cut through the confusion and make sense of it all–even if you’ve never taken a science class! Leading science educator and journalist Dr. Sherry Seethaler reveals how science and health research really work...how to put scientific claims in context and understand the real tradeoffs involved...tell quality research from junk science...discover when someone’s deliberately trying to fool you...and find more information you can trust! Nobody knows what new controversy will erupt tomorrow. But one thing’s for certain: With this book, you’ll know how to figure out the real deal–and make smarter decisions for yourself and your family!
Watch the news, and you’ll be overwhelmed by snippets of badly presented science: information that’s incomplete, confusing, contradictory, out-of-context, wrong, or flat-out dishonest. Defend yourself! Dr. Sherry Seethaler gives you a powerful arsenal of tools for making sense of science. You’ll learn how to think more sensibly about everything from mad cow disease to global warming—and how to make better science-related decisions in both your personal life and as a citizen.
You’ll begin by understanding how science really works and progresses, and why scientists sometimes disagree. Seethaler helps you assess the possible biases of those who make scientific claims in the media, and place scientific issues in appropriate context, so you can intelligently assess tradeoffs. You’ll learn how to determine whether a new study is really meaningful; uncover the difference between cause and coincidence; figure out which statistics mean something, and which don’t.
Seethaler reveals the tricks self-interested players use to mislead and confuse you, and points you to sources of information you can actually rely upon. Her many examples range from genetic engineering of crops to drug treatments for depression...but the techni...
