Memorial Day Weekend. How many people will even think once about our men and women in the field? How many will even think about those who have sacrificed everything so we can have so much? How many people will feel an obligation to honor those sacrifices by participating in the governance process? Right / Left, Left / Right, or Libertarian? It would seem we have a debt to repay. |

Ryan and cIcu President Abraham Lackman. RIVERDALE, N.Y. –
Manhattan College will host the 27th annual The NYSACAC Conference, whose theme this year is “Education and Our Future: Joining Efforts to Light the Way,” provides secondary school and admission counselors a chance to learn from each other and to remain updated on the trends in higher education. More than 50 workshops are being held that examine the myths and realities about the college admission process, international and multicultural college advising, reinventing approaches to college preparation, and high school graduation trends, among others. The conference “serves as a conclusion to a year in which NYSACAC has sought to unite the various constituencies within our profession as we work towards a common goal,” says Richard P. Alvarez, president-elect of NYSACAC. “As always, we have made issues of diversity a clear priority in the planning of the conference,” says Lisa Sohmer, president of NYSACAC. “There is a place for everyone at the conference.” Conference highlights
include a panel discussion on the future of higher education in In addition to a discussion panel about higher education trends and issues, the NYSACAC conference also gives counselors a chance to network and enjoy themselves at various social events such as a vendor reception, golf outing and themed dinners. NYSACAC aims to serve students and families in their transition to post-secondary education. The organization is committed to shaping professional standards, ethical and social responsibility and exemplary practice for high school and college counselors. For a complete
schedule of workshops and panel discussions, please call Melanie at (718)

"Learn how to build productive working relationships with your colleagues, and do your job well, and success will follow," he said.

http://www.smalltimes.com/document_display.cfm?document_id=9139 "Nanotechnology: Environmental Implications and
Solutions" May 25, 2005 - Most if not all of us are still students when it comes to nanotechnology and its environmental impacts. Relatively few plants and factories manufacture sizable quantities of nanomaterials and nanotechnology-based products, making the possibility of nanoscale byproducts or unintended releases a remote concern. Many of the products that do exist have yet to leach from landfills or percolate into streams and aquifers. The health and ecological consequences of nanotechnology remain undetermined, with most related research still in its infancy. But that doesn't mean
nanotechnology's detritus couldn't or wouldn't escape into the atmosphere or
accumulate in soil or water to inch up the food chain from plants and animals
to us. Louis Theodore, a chemical engineering professor at "One of the key features of this book is that it could serve both academia (students) and industry," they write in the preface. "Thus, this book offers material not only to individuals with limited technical background but also to those with extensive industrial experience. As such, it can be used as a text … and as a training tool for industry." Kudos to the authors and publisher Wiley for recognizing the need to educate today's students (and perhaps their professors) about tomorrow's challenges. The book begins with an even-handed chapter that explains what nanotechnology is, its current and potential impact on industries and reasons for environmental and ethical concerns. Suzanne Shelley, managing editor of Chemical Engineering magazine, provides the synopsis. Subsequent chapters by the authors give a history of environmental regulations and summarize their current status. Individual chapters cover air, water and solid wastes with a description of the various technologies and techniques used to contain and control pollution. Later chapters address health risk and hazard assessments, risk communication and include a nod toward ethical issues. At best, nanotechnology is an accoutrement in this textbook. Most chapters acknowledge that nanotechnology probably will raise problems, but say little else. Existing pollution controls will need to be tailored or invented to manage the unusual properties of nanoscale particulates, for instance. How nanomaterials interact with natural materials in the environment or with cells in plants and animals has yet to be determined. Providing accurate but accessible information to the public about something as complex as nanotechnology will require skill and sensitivity. While these messages may be surprising to students, they are probably not to industry. The value in this book for the nonacademic student is in pages that might be found in many environmental course books. With no nano-specific regulations and few guidelines to steer them, people who work in the realm of nanotechnology may welcome this book's consolidated presentation of today's environmental policies and procedures. That may be all they have to go on until the quantum questions get answered or the customized equipment gets built. The title proclaims environmental implications and solutions, and the promotional material promises an "in-depth exploration of the environmental consequences of nanotechnology." This is oversell. The solutions don't appear to exist yet, although awareness-raising is a laudable first step. Acknowledgment of the completed and ongoing research by environmental toxicologist Gunter Oberdorster – stellar as it is – does not constitute an in-depth exploration. And let's remember that while most of us remain students in this field, a few companies have skipped a few grades, thanks to successful commercialization of products. How have nanomaterials specialists such as Nanophase Technologies or Hyperion Catalysis dealt with compliance issues? How have the handful of pharmaceutical companies that sell nanotechnology-based drugs addressed concerns about toxicity and other possible risks? Whatever the answers, we'll likely need more sophisticated approaches as nanotechnology matures. Let's hope that textbooks like this help make today's students tomorrow's contributors.

Lessons Not Learned In
Publik Skools If our modern-day government re-education camps, otherwise known as public schools, actually taught our kids about our nation's founding history, perhaps they would come across this quote by Thomas Jefferson: "A person once surrendering reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous." Government schools, especially those embracing “zero tolerance policies,” have completely surrendered reason in their operations. Let me give you just three recent examples of “absurdities the most monstrous.” * In * In * And in And these are just the tip of the “absurdities most monstrous” iceberg being foisted on our children by education apparatchiks in public schools these days. Everybody knows the public schools suck rotten eggs; however, the biggest problem is that white folks in the ‘burbs think it’s only the public schools in the ghettos which turn out modern-day Forest Gumps. “Their” public schools are different. Their kids can read and write (sort of). Why, their public school is ranked in the Top Ten compared to all the other schools in the area, don’t you know. Well, here are two major problems with that line of thinking, and the republic is in serious jeopardy until parents wake up to these realities. 1.) Like it or not,
for better or worse, our kids live in a global community today. Kids in It’s one thing to

learning how to read, write and add two-plus-two (the correct answer is four,
no matter how good you feel about yourself) which make up an education -
though it’d be But as you can see from just the three examples stated earlier, those are decidedly NOT the lessons being taught to our youth in government schools today. Instead, kids are being indoctrinated to submit willingly and meekly to authority. Not to step out of line, not even one little bit. To follow the rules without question. To forsake any notion of independent thought or action. Our government schools today aren’t about mind development. They’re about mind control. Sure, many of the kids coming out of public schools in the ‘burbs can right...er, write a complete sentence. But that sentence will likely only express ideas pre-approved by the Ministry of Politically Correct Thought. And that is the true danger of government-run schools - be they in the ghetto or the suburbs. Private school choice,
including home-schooling, is no longer an option. It’s an imperative. Perhaps
