New York Botanical Garden Reopening
The Botanical Garden began phase 1 of its reopening plan, welcoming the general public to the grounds of its 250-acre site, on July 28.
NYBG is among the most comprehensive botanical gardens in the world, an urban oasis and integral part of the cultural fabric of New York City, anchored in the Bronx. In this next phase of NYBG's reopening, visitors will once again be able to explore the Haupt Conservatory's interconnected galleries, each featuring a different botanical habitat and specimens from around the globe. Outdoors, the verdant landscape is currently showcasing seasonal standouts such as striking cardinal flowers, mauve asters, and sweeping grasses among its one million plants.
Scenic paths and trails crisscross the Garden providing opportunities for discovery through encounters with nature. The gardens, outdoor collections, and natural features include the Native Plant Garden, with its meadow, woodland, promenade, and centerpiece water feature; Bronx River, with its waterfall, which runs through the 50-acre Thain Family Forest; layered and colorful patterns and plant groupings of the Perennial and Herb Gardens; lushly textured Chilton Azalea Garden; award-winning Rockefeller Rose Garden; inviting paths through the Ross Conifer Arboretum; Benenson Ornamental Conifers; and more.
Tram Tours, public programs, and group tours remain suspended temporarily as a safety precaution. The LuEsther T. Mertz Library, Edible Academy, Everett Children's Adventure Garden, and Hudson Garden Grill remain closed.
The first phase of NYBG's public reopening was prefaced by Appreciation Week, when Garden Members, Bronx Health Care Heroes from the eight public and private hospitals in the borough, and Bronx Neighbors were welcomed with first access and complimentary tickets. Communities in the Bronx are among the most severely impacted by COVID-19 in New York City. Through this initiative, the Garden acknowledges, with gratitude, the dedication, strength, and resilience of Bronx frontline health care workers and residents. Free grounds admission for those groups, originally slated to conclude September 13, has been extended through February 28, 2021.
The Garden's gradual reopening process incorporates enhanced safety measures based on best practices and guidance from health authorities and government agencies. New measures include requiring staff and visitors over the age of two to wear face coverings; increasing sanitization of public and staff areas; daily health screenings for on-site staff; supporting hygiene and social distancing practices; requiring timed-entry tickets purchased in advance; operating at a reduced capacity; and more.
The new, limited timed-entry ticketing system staggers visitorsߣ arrivals, promotes social distancing, and mitigates the risk of crowding in high-traffic areas. Advance purchase of timed tickets is required and will be confirmed by e-mail with the option to print or download a mobile ticket. Ticket options include the Garden Pass + Conservatory for access to the outdoor gardens and collections, the newly reopened Conservatory galleries, and the Courtyards; the Garden Pass for access to outdoor gardens and collections; and the Grounds-Only Pass, available to New York City residents only with valid proof of identification. Visitors who do not purchase advance tickets will not be guaranteed admission at this time. Garden Patrons and Members must also reserve timed tickets in advance. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the website at nybg.org.

New COVID-19 Strain In Southeast Asia
A mutation of the COVID-19 virus called D614G has been discovered in Southeast Asia, mostly in Malaysia and the Philippines but also in China. The outbreak can be traced back to a man who did not quarantine after his trip from India, causing a 45-case outbreak in Malaysia. The man has since been fined and sentenced to five months in prison. D614G is the leading strain in the United States and Europe, after being discovered in Chicago in June. Now the mutation is quickly spreading across Asia and the entire world.
The mutation is estimated to be up to 10 times more infectious, but "We still don't have enough solid evidence to say that that will happen," says Phillipines' Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Verviers. A study from Johns Hopkins points to evidence showing that the new virus is not more deadly than the previous strain. Benjamin Cowling of University of Hong Kong agreed: "(D614G) might be a little bit more contagious. We haven't yet got enough evidence to evaluate that." A Cell Press paper also corroborates this, saying that the strain will most likely not impact vaccine development. However, Malaysia's Director-General of Health, Noor Hisham, warns that this may mean that vaccine studies may be incomplete without accounting for the new strain.
A mutating virus is far from an exceptional thing, because it is how they can continue to spread. In fact, the genome of the coronavirus changes about 2 times a month, according to Science Magazine. Some of them help the virus reproduce, others damage it, and some are neutral. These changes can be just a single letter in the genetic code, but it can make the virus much more transmissible. Dr Thushan de Silva, at the University of Sheffield, says that there is not enough evidence to say whether the D614G mutation helps or harms the virus, but he knows that it is not neutral.
This comes as the FDA has just granted emergency authorization for COVID-19 spit tests, which will make testing much easier and much wider spread. The SalivaDirect test, developed at Yale University, will expedite testing by eliminating a time consuming step in the process.
Meanwhile, the United States passes 170,000 deaths from the virus, with infections of children rising as they return to school. New information from the CDC says that rates of COVID-19 in children are increasing. While they make up only 7% of cases in the country, they are responsible for over 20% of them. In addition to this, and in contrast to previous beliefs, "Recent evidence suggests that children likely have the same or higher viral loads in their nasopharynx compared with adults and that children can spread the virus effectively in households and camp settings."
Data to reinforce this claim can be found in the rising cases among children at schools that have already reopened, including 7,000 in Alabama. Many schools have debated or committed to reversing course and going online. These rising cases correlating with schools reopening "may explain the low incidence in children compared with adults," says the CDC, suggesting that children's perceived resistance to transmitting the virus may have been partly a result of simply staying inside – a sobering reminder of the ever changing narrative of COVID-19.

NYC in Phase 4
While the better half of the country is riddled with a massive spike in coronavirus cases, New York City is in the fourth and final phase of reopening, an achievement that governor Andrew Cuomo calls a "hallmark."
Phase 4 means that sports can resume, as can the entertainment industry. Venues like zoos and gardens can open at 33% capacity. People will also be able to visit popular attractions like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. These developments come as the U.S hits 4 million coronavirus cases and adds 1 million new cases in just 15 days, mostly coming from southern and western states.
Officials are not overstepping bounds however, careful to remain cautious after seeing the negative effects of early reopening in other states. "I want all New Yorkers to be on high alert," said Cuomo on Friday, warning of the second wave coming. Indoor dining is still prohibited in the city, and malls, movies theatres, and museums remain closed. Perhaps most impactful is Mayor De Blasio's statement that schools will not fully reopen. He says the decision will be made in September. He plans for a hybrid open, but the teachers union is prepared for a legal fight if schools are forced to reopen unsafely.

NYBG Reopening
The New York Botanical Garden has announced plans to reopen the grounds of its 250-acre site to the general public on Tuesday, July 28, in a gradual process as the City enters New York Forward's Phase Four, projected to begin July 20.
Since enacting the temporary closure on March 15, 2020, due to COVID-19, Botanical Garden leadership has been proactively developing and implementing new safety protocols in accordance with State and New York Forward requirements for businesses and cultural institutions, CDC guidelines, and OSHA standards. (Note: The Garden's reopening dates are contingent on New York City receiving permission to enter Phase Four.)
NYBG is among the most comprehensive botanical gardens in the world—an urban oasis and integral part of the cultural fabric of New York City, anchored in the Bronx. The verdant landscape currently features a trove of vibrant daylilies, hydrangeas, water lilies, and lotuses among its one million plants. Walking paths and trails crisscross the Garden providing opportunities for discovery through encounters with nature. The reopened gardens, outdoor collections, and natural features include the Native Plant Garden, with its meadow, woodland, promenade, and centerpiece water feature; Bronx River, with its waterfall, which runs through the 50-acre Thain Family Forest; layered and colorful patterns and plant groupings of the Perennial and Herb Gardens; lushly shaded Chilton Azalea Garden; award-winning Rockefeller Rose Garden; tropical and aquatic plant-filled Conservatory Courtyards and Pools; inviting paths through the Ross Conifer Arboretum; Benenson Ornamental Conifers; Burn Family Lilac Collection; and more.
Tram Tours, public programs, and group tours are suspended temporarily as a safety precaution. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, LuEsther T. Mertz Library, Edible Academy, Everett Children's Adventure Garden, and Hudson Garden Grill remain closed. The public reopening will be prefaced by Appreciation Week July 21‒26, when NYBG will welcome Garden Members; Bronx health care heroes from the eight public and private hospitals in the borough; and Bronx Neighbors with first access and complimentary tickets. Communities in the Bronx are among the most severely impacted by COVID-19 in New York City. Through its Appreciation Week initiative, the Garden seeks to acknowledge, with gratitude, the dedication, strength, and resilience of Bronx frontline health care workers and residents. Complimentary admission for those groups will continue through September 13.
The reopening incorporates enhanced safety measures based on best practices and guidance from health authorities and government agencies. New measures include requiring staff and visitors over the age of two to wear face coverings; increasing sanitization of public and staff areas; daily health screenings for on-site staff; supporting social distancing practices; requiring timed-entry tickets purchased in advance; operating at a reduced capacity; and more. The new, limited timed-entry ticketing system will stagger visitors' arrivals, promote social distancing, and mitigate the risk of crowding in high-traffic areas.
Advance purchase of timed tickets is required and will be confirmed by e-mail with the option to print or download a mobile ticket. Visitors who do not purchase advance tickets will not be guaranteed admission at this time. Garden Patrons and Members must also reserve timed tickets in advance. For more information, visit the NYBG website. To further facilitate social distancing, visitors will find new wayfinding signage and pavement markings at admissions points and where queuing is necessary. Some pathways will be designated for one-way foot traffic to help avoid congestion. New hand sanitizer stations on the grounds and touchless restroom appliances will be available. There is ample parking on-site and in NYBG's Parking Garage, just steps away from the Mosholu Entrance. Other visitor amenities include: Pine Tree Café (10 a.m.–6 p.m.; limited menu and outdoor seating), Hudson Garden Grill Terrace (12–5 p.m.; snacks and refreshments, including water, beer, and wine) Pine Tree Café Pop-up at the Rose Garden (11 a.m.–4 p.m.; snacks and refreshments, including water, beer, and wine) Clay Family Picnic Pavilions, "My Day at the Garden" kids and family activity guide, Self-guided audio tours, which are available by cell phone, and NYBG Shop (per social distancing protocols).
The reopening plan is subject to change based on government guidance and in response to altered circumstances. Subsequent phases of the Garden's reopening will be announced at a future date online and via the Garden's social media channels.

Schools Debate Fall Opening
As the Coronavirus spreads at its fastest pace yet in the United States, schools and colleges are facing the tough question of how to face the fall semester. Education facilities from kindergarten to graduate school have to rethink how classes will be run in person, and if they will be run in person at all.
According to the Federal Government, opening all schools in person is the imperative course of action. President Trump and his Education Secretary Betsy DeVos are practically demanding schools to re-open, as Trump even threatened to cut funding to education if they do not. "We're very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools—get them open." Trump said at an event last week. Secretary DeVos backed him, asserting that re-opening schools "should absolutely be the goal."
However, for public school districts and colleges, the situation is not so clear-cut. California, one of the COVID-19 hotspots in the world, the two largest districts of San Diego and Los Angeles have announced that they will not reopen for in-person instruction. Many districts, such as New York City, are pursuing a more hybrid plan, which involves partial in-person learning in three different models propped by Mayor DeBlasio. The state of New York as a whole is allowing districts to open based on certain criteria. In some cases, such as Nashville, districts have actually had to backpedal and turn over plans to re-open in light of the recent spike in coronavirus cases across the nation.
Colleges, both public and private, face the same dilemma. While some have announced full closure in the fall, such as the State universities in California, others such as Harvard, Princeton, and Georgetown will bring students to campus in a limited manner. Harvard and Princeton will have roughly half of the students on campus for each semester, split by grade, although all classes will remain online. Harvard will not discount their tuition, while Princeton will offer 10% off. Other universities such as Carnegie Mellon are offering more flexibility, allowing students to choose which semester to come back and offering some classes with both a remote and in-person option.
Another complicating factor in decisions for colleges are the new restrictions on international students put in place by ICE under Trumps administration. These rules, stating that international students who have only online classes must go back to their country, have caused more than 200 universities to sue the Trump administration, following in suit of Harvard and MIT. These rules were dropped quickly after facing the wide opposition.

NYC COVID-19 Mortality Zeros Out
By Katrina Tiktinsky
New York City celebrated an enormous moment of progress on June 12th, as the COVID-19 related mortality count hit zero for the first time since March.
Following a period of strict regulations and a cautious initiation of the phased reopening process, New York has transformed from the global epicenter of the virus to a model for pandemic response. Governor Cuomo initiated a shelter-in-place strategy, issuing a prolonged stay-at-home order to limit social contact. This measure effectively flattened the curve of infections, unburdening hospitals in NYC and the larger tri-state area.
The city has suffered over 200,000 cases, over 50,000 hospitalizations, and around 20,000 mortalities from the novel coronavirus. New York's battle with the pandemic is not over, but the success embodied by this week's milestone points to hope for the country at large, should other states follow similar safety measures.
As the federal government pushes aggressively for what experts warn would be a dangerously premature reopening of the country, New York has ideologically differentiated itself. The city has taken a steady approach, recognizing that the economy cannot thrive without healthy citizens. Wear your mask, keep your distance, do your part.

Their authentic Mexican cuisine is prepared by Petra Zavaleta, who hails from Tepeaca, Puebla, and rose to foodie fame with her underground barbacoa pop-ups, and later opened their eatery Barbakush in East L.A. Praised as one of the best Mexican eateries on the Westside, Petra and her family source their lamb locally from Chino Hills and prepare their barbacoa in an earthen pit, cooking it slowly over an open fire. Offering five different styles of classic tacos on their handmade-to-order corn tortillas, as well as chips and guacamole, they are the perfect complement to Lanea's unique cocktail menu.
"It's been a difficult and stressful year for Santa Monica's small businesses, and I know we will collectively band together to weather all the hurdles 2020 has brought us. Petra and I, who are both immigrants, alongside our other partners, are really thankful and humbled by the local support as we continue to offer a safe, affordable outlet for the local community," say owner Peter Trinh. "Come by and check out our new to-go small batched cocktails, canned in-house or our handmade gluten-free tacos, as we'd love to have you as our guest again."
Upon reopening, Lanea has revamped their landscape and dining experience to safely accommodate customers, implementing the necessary protocols, to enhance the safety of patrons with regards to COVID-19. Lanea has added outdoor dining while abiding by the six-foot social distancing mandatory safety guidelines. Additional safety protocols include administering temperature checks to employees and diners, UV-light sanitizing, all staff must wear masks and gloves, hand sanitizer is readily available, and contactless ordering and payment has been implemented.
Lanea will be celebrating their one-year anniversary all Summer long with the launch of their new, all-day "Taco & Tequila Happy Hour," featuring $2 tacos (of your choice), $9 canned cocktails (regularly $13), and frozen cocktails. Happy hour specials include $6 Chips & Guacamole and $4 Consome, which is bone broth with chipotle chickpeas, onion, and cilantro.

BAYERN WEIGH UP POSSIBLE MOVE FOR AJAX STAR STRIKER HALLER
Submitted by content on Mon, 05/09/2022 - 14:36
Bayern Munich 'could move for Ajax striker Sebastien Haller' as they seek out potential replacements for Robert Lewandowski this summer. Even though Bayern are adamant prolific Polish forward Lewandowski isn't for sale this summer, that hasn't stopped them scoping out possible successors. And the Ajax and Ivory Coast hotshot Haller, who would be available for around £33.5million, has emerged as a possible replacement.
Haller, formerly of West Ham and with previous Bundesliga experience from his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, has netted 33 times in 39 matches for the Dutch club this season. He is the leading goalscorer in the Eredivisie with 20 league goals as Erik ten Hag's side close in on another title. German newspaper Bild have reported that Bayern have contacted Haller's agents and that the player's wage demands are in the region of £8.4m per season.
Haller would represent an affordable option for the just-crowned Bundesliga champions but he would have big shoes to fill if Lewandowski leaves. The 33-year-old has scored 48 times in 43 matches during another sensational season and has 342 in 372 appearances overall for Bayern. Lewandowski is the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season with 33 goals and Bayern secured a 10th consecutive title when they beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 at the weekend.
Haller, 27, has got his career back on track at Ajax after failing to make much of an impression in the Premier League during a season-and-a-half with West Ham. With Ten Hag leaving the Amsterdam club to become Manchester United's next manager, there could well be a number of high profile player departures. Ivory Coast international Haller, 27, has played previously in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayern's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic insisted at the weekend that Lewandowski, who has been linked with Barcelona, is not for sale this summer and will see out the final year of his contract.

Colorado ballot 2022: How to make informed votes on questions about judges
State's judicial system gives voters a say on retaining appointed judges
The Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, home to the Colorado Supreme Court, at 1300 Broadway, Denver, on Nov. 14, 2013.
By Jon Murray and Denver Post |
October 14, 2022 at 6:00 a.m.
Every two years, Colorado voters work down their ballots and hit the same roadblock: Who are all these judges? And how do I vote on them?
Judges here are appointed to the bench in state and county courts, rather than elected. But they later appear on the ballot when they come up for retention — allowing voters to decide whether they should continue serving.
The system has its critics, in part because it's rare for a judge to get booted by voters. One factor is that the names are unfamiliar to the average voter, making an educated decision difficult.
But it's also because it's rare for citizen review commissions, set up to help fill that information gap, to find that a judge doesn't meet performance standards. (Some jurists with turbulent tenures also may quietly decide against seeking retention when their terms are up.)
Here is a guide to help you sort through these ballot items ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
The state provides voters with help
Colorado has an evaluation process that offers information and evaluations on judges. Nonpartisan commissions assess all the judges on the ballot and issue simple recommendations about each judge or Colorado Supreme Court justice who is up for retention, along with more information if you're willing to study up.
This year, the top-line results are simple: All 135 judges evaluated by state and district-level commissions were found to meet performance standards. But five eligible judges decided against seeking retention, according to the Colorado Office of Judicial Performance Information.
RELATED: What is Amendment D? Colorado voters consider constitutional amendment to shift judges to new district
The process has drawn criticism because the evaluations lack information that might be more useful to some voters. (More on that later.)
In 2020, two judges were found not to meet performance standards: Adams County District Court Judge Tomee Crespin, who protested the rating but went on to lose her retention vote and her job; and Sedgwick County Judge James Craig Dolezal, who still won retention. Two years earlier, voters rejected two judges — the only ones who had received ratings of "Does Not Meet Performance Standards" by the commissions.
How judges get their jobs in Colorado
In most states, judges face election in some way — sometimes in nasty partisan races. But Colorado's system, at least for judges in state-overseen courts, is all-appointment.
The governor fills court vacancies by appointing Supreme Court justices, Court of Appeals judges, and district court and county court judges. The only exception is the city and county of Denver, where the city's mayor appoints the Denver County Court's judges (but not the judges for Denver District Court).
Before any appointment is made, nominating commissions made up of attorney and non-attorney members vet applicants and recommend at least two candidates. For Court of Appeals and Supreme Court vacancies, at least three candidates are required.
Colorado's system goes back about five decades and is meant to keep judges from soliciting donations and running political campaigns. The role of voters in deciding retention questions, however, long has been a challenge.
"In 1988, the legislature was answering the question of how to give voters more information on judges who are up for retention, so they created commissions on judicial performance," Kent Wagner, executive director of the state's Office of Judicial Performance Evaluation, told The Denver Post in 2020. "We've been doing that ever since, with 231 commissioners (serving on panels) who evaluate the state of Colorado's judges — and really serve to just give voters some information about the performance of judges."
When do judges appear on the ballot?
Voters play an initial role two years after an appointment, deciding whether to retain — or fire — recent appointees to the state's higher courts and to lower courts in the judicial district or county in which they live.
After that, judges stand for retention again every four years (for county judges), six years (for district judges) or eight years (for Court of Appeals judges). Supreme Court justices stand for retention every 10 years.
How many judges are on your ballot will vary
This year, no Colorado Supreme Court justices are up for retention. The list of judges on the ballot includes eight Court of Appeals judges who will be on all ballots statewide. Seven were appointed in recent years by Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, and are up for their first retention votes: Jaclyn Casey Brown, Christina Finzel Gomez, Matthew D. Grove, Sueanna P. Johnson, Lino S. Lipinsky de Orlov, Neeti V. Pawar and David H. Yun. The eighth, Terry Fox, was appointed in 2011 and is up for regular retention.
The number of district and county judges you'll vote on varies, depending on where you live. In Denver, which has its own district court (one of 22 statewide), voters will decide retention questions for 12 district judges and nine county judges. That means Denver voters are being asked to vote yes or no on 21 judges.
Some counties have no county judges up for retention, and three district courts in rural areas have no judges seeking retention. In rare cases where those situations overlap, no judges will appear on a voter's ballot this year.
How to sort through the judges
To take the easy route, simply go to the website for the Colorado Office of Judicial Performance Evaluation and select your county to see the judges on your ballot, along their ratings (all favorable this year).
If you're interested in knowing more about the judges, both the state website and the Blue Book, a ballot information booklet mailed to every voter before each election, provide the full evaluations for each justice or judge on your local ballot.
How to read each evaluation
The evaluations typically follow a four-paragraph format, though there is some variance in how information is presented. The first paragraph always specifies the performance commission's recommendation and its vote split.
Other paragraphs provide information about the judge's court, his or her background, and the results of surveys of lawyers and others who have experience with that judge. That information may include negative impressions of the judge or concerns raised in the past by the commission, along with how well the judge addressed them.
It's not unusual to learn that one judge is considered "intelligent, fair, and prepared for oral argument," for example, or that another faces perceptions of favoring the prosecution in criminal cases or taking too long to issue written decisions. If a judge has been placed on an improvement plan, you'll learn that, too.
If the commission were to recommend against retention — none had that fate this year — the judge's response would be included at the end.
What should I do with this information?
It's up to you, since voters weigh such information in different ways. Some might not value the kinds of criticisms leveled by attorneys, while others are more interested in trying to discern a judge's bias or political leanings. (The state evaluation office also solicits feedback from anyone who has experience with a judge.)
Who conducts the evaluations?
The statewide judicial performance commission for Supreme Court justices and appellate judges has 11 members. Ten-member commissions evaluate district and county judges within each of 22 judicial districts. The panels are made up of six non-attorneys, with the rest of the spots filled by attorneys. Appointments are made by the governor, the state's chief justice, the House speaker, the Senate president, and the minority leaders of each chamber.
The commissions solicit input on the judges' performance by sending surveys to attorneys and others who are familiar with the judges.
Possible shortcomings of the process
Some voters don't find the evaluations helpful because of what's not included, including judges' disciplinary records. Colorado keeps complaints and any resulting discipline confidential, except in rare cases in which a judge is publicly censured or removed by the state Supreme Court.
The Judicial Integrity Project has pushed for years for Colorado to include disciplinary records in the commissions' evaluations, along with other information that includes criminal histories. The group also has advocated for the addition of public testimony to the commissions' process.

Union presidents gather at CWA meeting ahead of Supreme Court ruling
Presidents representing locals within the Communications Workers of America gathered in Washington this week ahead of an expected U.S. Supreme Court decision that could drastically change how union fees are collected in public-sector unions.
President Jill Bleed attended the one-day meeting to represent the News Media Guild.
CWA President Chris Shelton told the nearly 300 delegates at the CWA presidents' meeting that unions must look beyond members' individual needs to the broader issue of keeping unions alive. CWA has made an effort to sign up new members as part of an initiative called CWA Strong in anticipation of the Janus court decision, which deals with whether a non-member in a public sector union must pay agency fees.
CWA represents hundreds of thousands of public- and private-sector workers in the media, telecommunications, airline, information technology and other industries. Shelton says that the union has added more than 7,300 new members in the public-sector unit as part of CWA Strong since 2016.
In New Jersey, public-sector locals are at record membership levels, while membership in right-to-work states is stable or growing, Shelton said.
If the high court rules against the unions, CWA is expected to lose revenue from about 25,000 agency fee payers _ or about $6.5 million, according to CWA Secretary/Treasurer Sara Steffens. The union has committed to cutting its budget (excluding staff and salaries) but Steffens said a longer-term fix is needed.
"We can't cut our way out of this problem," she said.
To stay viable, the union must have strong stewards, active and well-run locals, and keep in contact with current and future members, Steffens said.
The News Media Guild, funded in part by a CWA grant, has added 40 new members in the past year under the CWA Strong initiative.

BARGAINING: Guild says managers supervising fewer than three people should be in unit
The News Media Guild and Associated Press continued talks Wednesday on contract negotiations, with the Guild telling AP that some managers who supervise fewer than three people should be part of the bargaining unit.
Both sides also met Tuesday and held off-the-records talks about job security. AP has proposed significant changes to the current job security language, while the Guild is calling for more training in the event of a layoff.
The Guild and AP will meet again Thursday to discuss job security, news associates and AP's proposed social media and ethics policy.
Representing the Guild on Wednesday were: Jill Bleed of Little Rock, Vin Cherwoo of New York Sports, technician Dave Herron of Seattle and Guild administrator Kevin Keane.
Representing the AP on Wednesday were: attorney Steve Macri; Keisa Caesar, human resources generalist and project manager; and Jean Maye, human resources director.
Also Tuesday, Guild members in Washington surprised AP management and others who were attending a dinner that coincided with the ASNE-APME-APPM conference. The Guild members handed out leaflets and held signs outside of the restaurant where the dinner was taking place. See more on the Guild's website here.

Washington NMG members surprise AP managers outside restaurant
NEWS MEDIA GUILD SURPRISES AP MANAGERS OUTSIDE WASHINGTON RESTAURANT
By Michele Salcedo
WASHINGTON — Never underestimate the element of surprise.
A small but vocal group of News Media Guild members from The Associated Press Washington Bureau were on hand Tuesday evening to greet AP management and Guild colleagues attending a dinner that AP organized to coincide with the ASNE-APME-APPM conference in Washington.
The Guild group, holding up signs and handing out leaflets, met Executive Editor and Senior Vice President Sally Buzbee, as well as Managing Editor Brian Carovillano and Deputy Managing Editors David Scott and Sarah Nordgren as they approached the Lebanese Taverna restaurant. Carovillano, Scott and Nordgren have attended some of the negotiations.
"We're so surprised to see you here," said Ken Guggenheim, a Washington bureau news editor.
As the time for the dinner approached, the group of seven chanted: "Who are we? We are AP! What do we want? A fair contract!" one of several in their battery. The red-shirted activists included science writer Seth Borenstein, general desk editor Will Lester, data journalist Chad Day, daybook editor Lisa Dwyer-Shapiro, photographer Alex Brandon, intelligence reporter Deb Riechmann, and Guild national mobilizer Michele Salcedo, on leave from the Washington general news desk. Joining them was Sally Davidow from the CWA national office, the NMG's parent union.
Nearly a dozen Guild members who had been invited to Tuesday's dinner were pleasantly surprised to find their colleagues outside.
"I am so glad to see you all out here," said Errin Haines Whack, a member of The AP's race and ethnicity reporting team.
Washington Guild members handed her and other reporters stickers identifying themselves as a "Proud Union Journalist" as the invitees walked into the restaurant. Aside from Haines Whack, they included State Department reporter Josh Lederman and Congressional Correspondent Erica Werner.
New Guild member Chad Day, who joined in August, handed managers and even passers-by fliers that outlined the Guild's objections to some of AP's contract proposals so far. Among the public that stopped to chat were two former AP employees.
"We are proud to stand in solidarity with our negotiators and were able to convey that important message to the highest levels of AP management," Salcedo said.
Other managers who took the fliers from the Guild members included: Washington Bureau Chief Julie Pace, Deputy Washington Bureau Chief Kathleen Hennessey, News Editor Ken Guggenheim.

Guild hires Michele Salcedo as mobilizer for AP bargaining
News Media Guild members who work at The Associated Press: Get ready to hear a new voice asking you to help with mobilizing.
That's because the Guild has hired Michele Salcedo, a desk editor in The Associated Press' Washington, D.C., bureau, as its full-time mobilizer during bargaining for a new contract with the AP.
The current contract expires at the end of September.
Salcedo, who attended the meeting of mobilizers that the Guild held earlier in August, said she's excited about getting Guild members energized for the talks.
"AP journalists are among the hardest working, most dedicated practitioners in the business. I am thrilled to lead the mobilization of AP workers to win a fair contract and, with Guild members and staff, to remind the AP of the excellent job we do every day to produce fact-filled journalism on all platforms for the AP and its members."
Salcedo is membership secretary for the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., which has more than 3,000 paid members and a $12 million budget. She also has served on regional and national boards of the National Association for Hispanic Journalists, and is a past national president of the association.
The Guild previously had hired Rick Freeman, a former AP sports staffer, who helped organize al-Jazeera's U.S. operation, as the mobilizer. Freeman has had to step aside for personal reasons, although he still plans to contribute to the mobilizing.
"We were sorry that Rick had to leave as mobilizer, but we're pleased that Michele is available to get the staff mobilized for bargaining," said Guild President Martha Waggoner.
Salcedo is taking leave from her AP job, where she focuses on immigration issues and the general news desk, starting the week of Labor Day.

Bargaining, mobilizing discussed at Guild meetings
Bargaining was the main topic of discussion when News Media Guild leaders and mobilizers met in Washington.
The Guild's Executive Committee and Representative Assembly met for their annual meeting while mobilizers met separately to discuss how to publicize issues during upcoming bargaining with The Associated Press. The contract with the AP expires Sept. 30
More details about the meetings will be added later.

Q: localhost:8000 error in IE 11 I have problem opening http://localhost:8000 when opening my python script.
I was having this problem on Windows 7. I was just opening the forum.py file with python on my windows machine. This gave the correct looking "Serving HTTP on port 8000..." message but it wasn't working when I navigated to http://localhost:8000. I don't exactly know why but you have to run the forum.py from within the VM, not from windows. So to do this, once you ssh into the VM, navigate to 'cd vagrant/forum' and do an 'ls' to find the forum.py file. run 'python forum.py' here and it should start up. Once I did it from within the VM I was able to get it open in my browser.
I tried to change the host number to 8080 (the second configuration in vagrantfile) or even substituting 8000 in vagrantfile and forum.py with 3456 and opening localhost:3456, but then I get the following message:
A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator.
I need your help please!

A: I think if you just switch the connection to another port in the forum.py code it should work.

A: I just switch the connection to another port in the forum.py code to port 8190 and it seems to be working

Jacksonville St. vs. N. Dak. St.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – In terms of defining dynasties in college football, three is the magic number.
Several schools have won three national titles in a short period of time – most of the historic power programs have had at least one such run. But four titles clustered in a span of seven years or less? That's truly rare territory.
Alabama is one game from stepping foot into that realm.
Since the Associated Press poll came into being in 1936 and became the first nationally recognized arbiter, only Notre Dame has won four championships in seven seasons. That was from 1943-49 – a very different time than today.
For one thing, the final polls were conducted before bowl games were played. For another, the war years turned everything upside down – among the AP top 10 teams in '43 were Iowa Navy Pre-Flight, Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Del Monte Pre-Flight and the East Hartford Wheelmen Club. And in the days before television and with limited travel, how many teams did sports writers even see play? The early polls were heavy on regional bias and flat-out guesswork by voters.
Thus it's possible to say, with some confidence, that Alabama is close to completing the greatest seven-year run in college football history. If the Crimson Tide defeats unbeaten No. 1 Clemson, it could stack that trophy on top of hardware won in 2009, '11 and '12. And with a victory here Monday, you could make a great argument that Nick Saban is the greatest coach in the history of the game.
Some Southerners with long memories will maintain that Saban isn't even the best coach in the history of Alabama. But Bear Bryant never won four in seven seasons. Neither did Woody Hayes, Bud Wilkinson, John McKay, Tom Osborne, Bobby Bowden nor Joe Paterno. Only Frank Leahy did at Notre Dame, and as discussed above, those were squirrelly times in the sport.
All told, this could be Saban's fifth title in 13 seasons, going back to the championship he won at LSU in 2003. Since the advent of the AP poll, only Bryant has won that many titles – and his five were spread from 1961 through '79.
So this really is an unparalleled run – if the game Monday ends with Alabama on top.
You can argue that it's easier to win a national title now that four teams have access to it via the College Football Playoff. Ohio State couldn't have won the 2014 championship without the playoff format, and Urban Meyer would still be sitting on two titles instead of three.
But the playoff hasn't given Alabama anything it wouldn't have had in the Bowl Championship Series days. The Crimson Tide was No. 1 going into last year's playoff and No. 2 this year. They would have been in the championship game both years if this were still a BCS format.
The one thing Alabama does not have in this golden era is a bunch of undefeated seasons. There has only been one, in 2009, when the Tide went 14-0 and beat Texas in the national title game. The '11 team lost to LSU in the regular season before getting revenge on the Tigers in the BCS championship, and the '12 team was upset by Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel (in happier times for Johnny Football). This year's team, of course, had to rebound from a September loss to Mississippi.
Today it would be inconceivable for a Southeastern Conference team to start the year No. 1, as 'Bama did in '66, go unbeaten and finish No. 3. The league's prestige has grown exponentially since then – and it's also gotten exponentially tougher.
That's another reason why this Alabama run is so remarkable. It is doing it against the toughest competition in the nation, year-in and year-out. The Sagarin Ratings say the SEC has been the toughest conference in five of the last seven seasons, and it was No. 2 in the other two (2010 and '11).
That's why Alabama has been bloodied in the regular season six straight years, losing at least one game to an SEC West opponent each season from 2010-15. But only in 2010, when the Tide was an intolerable 10-3, did it drop more than one league contest. The program has simply refused to take a back seat, even in America's most difficult division.
Now Alabama is 60 minutes from crossing over from "ordinary" dynasty to something truly special. The Tide is on the verge of upgrading from elite to unprecedented, of moving from college football's gated community to establishing its own island. And Nick Saban would be standing shoulder to shoulder with the Bear himself.


I had a feeling the Super Bowl was going to be lame, so I decided I needed to do something to spice it up a bit... Then I ended up with nearly 60 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies!
An hour before the game I came up with a bet on my Facebook page. I took the Patriots to win the game, and let any of my friends have the Rams if they wanted them. All they had to do was comment and say they wanted to play. If I win, they owed me a box of Thin Mints. If they won, I'd get them a box.
Little did I know, nearly 60 people wanted in. That's a giant bill for cookies if I lost! So, needless to say, I was pretty into the game all of a sudden.
Luckily, I won, and now I have 60 boxes of Thin Mints coming to me! See ya, New Year's Resolution!

In addition, a fringe Islamic cult, known as the Maitatsine, started in the late 1970s and operated throughout the 1980s, springing up in Kano around a mystical leader (since deceased) from Cameroon who claimed to have had divine revelations superseding those of the Prophet. The cult had its own mosques and preached a doctrine antagonistic to established Islamic and societal leadership. Its main appeal was to marginal and poverty-stricken urban in-migrants, whose rejection by the more established urban groups fostered this religious opposition. These disaffected adherents ultimately lashed out at the more traditional mosques and congregations, resulting in violent outbreaks in several cities of the north.

David Hilbert (Königsberg,  — Göttingen, ) foi um matemático alemão. Foi eleito membro estrangeiro da Royal Society em 1928. David Hilbert é um dos mais notáveis matemáticos, e os tópicos de suas pesquisas são fundamentais em diversos ramos da matemática atual.

David Hilbert nasceu em Königsberg, atualmente Kaliningrado, onde estudou na Universidade de Königsberg. Em 1895 foi nomeado professor da Universidade de Göttingen, onde lecionou até se aposentar, em 1930. Está sepultado no Stadtfriedhof de Göttingen. Hilbert é frequentemente considerado como um dos maiores matemáticos do século XX, no mesmo nível de Henri Poincaré. Devemos a ele principalmente a lista de 23 problemas, alguns dos quais não foram resolvidos até hoje, apresentada em 1900 no Congresso Internacional de Matemáticos em Paris.

Suas contribuições à matemática são diversas, e envolvem, entre outras a consolidação da teoria dos invariantes, que foi o objeto de sua tese, a transformação da geometria euclidiana em axiomas, com uma visão mais formal que Euclides, para torná-la consistente, publicada no seu Grundlagen der Geometrie (Fundamentos da geometria), trabalhos sobre a teoria dos números algébricos, a criação dos espaços que levam seu nome, durante seus trabalhos em análise sobre equações integrais e contribuição para as formas quadráticas, que serviriam como bases matemáticas da teoria da relatividade de Albert Einstein.

Vida

Início da vida e educação
Hilbert, o primeiro dos dois filhos de Otto e Maria Teresa (Erdtmann) Hilbert, nasceu na província da Prússia, em Königsberg (de acordo com a declaração do próprio Hilbert) ou em Wehlau (conhecido desde 1946 como Znamensk) perto de Königsberg, onde seu pai trabalhou no momento de seu nascimento.

No outono de 1872, Hilbert entrou na Friedrichskolleg Gymnasium (a mesma escola que Immanuel Kant tinha assistido a 140 anos antes); mas, depois de um período infeliz, ele se transferiu para (outono 1879) e graduou-se (primavera 1880) o mais orientada para a ciência Wilhelm Gymnasium. Após a formatura, no Outono de 1880, Hilbert se matriculou na Universidade de Königsberg, o "Albertina ". Na primavera de 1882, Hermann Minkowski (dois anos mais jovem do que Hilbert e também um nativo de Königsberg, mas tão talentoso que ele tinha se formado no início de seu ginásio e ido a Berlim para três semestres), voltou a Königsberg e entrou na universidade. "Hilbert sabia que sua sorte quando ele viu. Apesar da desaprovação de seu pai, ele logo fez amizade com o tímido, dotado Minkowski".

Carreira
Em 1884, Adolf Hurwitz chegou em Göttingen como um 'extraordinarius'  (i.e. professor associado). Um intercâmbio científico intenso e rico entre os três começou, e especialmente Minkowski e Hilbert iriam exercer uma influência recíproca um com o outro em suas carreiras científicas. Hilbert obteve seu doutorado em 1885, com uma tese orientada por Ferdinand von Lindemann, intitulada Über invariante Eigenschaften spezieller binärer Formen, insbesondere der Kugelfunktionen (Sobre as características invariantes de formas binárias especiais, em particular a função esférica harmônica). Hilbert permaneceu na Universidade de Königsberg como professor de 1886 a 1895.

A escola de Göttingen
Entre os estudantes Hilbert constam Hermann Weyl, o campeão de xadrez Emanuel Lasker, Ernst Zermelo e Carl Gustav Hempel. John von Neumann era seu assistente. Na universidade de Göttingen, Hilbert era cercado por um círculo social de alguns dos mais importantes matemáticos do século XX, como Emmy Noether e Alonzo Church. Entre seus 69 estudantes de pós-doutorado estavam muitos dos quais iriam se tornar futuramente matemáticos famosos, incluindo (com data de tese) Otto Blumenthal (1898), Felix Bernstein (1901), Hermann Weyl (1908), Richard Courant (1910), Erich Hecke (1910), Hugo Steinhaus (1911) e Wilhelm Ackermann (1925). Entre 1902 e 1939 Hilbert foi editor do "Anais da Matemática", o principal jornal matemático na época.

Anos futuros
Hilbert viveu para ver os nazistas acabarem com muitos membros do corpo docente da Universidade de Göttingen em 1933. Aqueles que foram expulsos incluindo Hermann Weyl (que tomou a posição de Hilbert quando ele se aposentou em 1930), Emmy Noether e Edmund Landau. Um que teve que deixar a Alemanha, Paul Bernays, tinha colaborado com Hilbert na Lógica Matemática e publicou junto com ele o livro "Grundlagen der Mathematik" (Princípios da Matemática, que eventualmente apareceu em 2 volumes, em 1934 e 1939). Esta foi a consequência para o livro de Hilbert-Ackermann 'Princípios da Lógica Matemática' em 1928.

Quando Hilbert morreu em 1943, os Nazistas haviam acabado de recompor a equipe da universidade, na medida em que muitos dos ex-professores tinham sido judeus ou casados com judeus. O funeral de Hilbert foi assistido por menos de uma dúzia de pessoas, dos quais somente dois eram colegas acadêmicos, entre eles Arnold Sommerfeld, um físico teórico e também nativo de Königsberg. A notícia de sua morte só se tornou conhecida no mundo mais amplo seis meses depois que ele tinha morrido.

Hilbert foi batizado e criado na Igreja Protestante Reformada. Ele, mais tarde, deixou a Igreja e tornou-se um agnóstico. Ele também argumentou que a verdade matemática era independente da existência de Deus ou de outras suposições.

O epitáfio em sua lápide em Göttingen consiste nas famosas frases que ele falou na conclusão do seu discurso de aposentadoria para a Sociedade Alemã de Cientistas e Físicos em 8 de setembro de 1930. As palavras foram dadas em resposta à máxima latina: "Ignoramus et ignorabimus" ou "Não sei, não saberemos":

 Wir müssen wissen.
 Wir werden wissen.

Em português:

 Devemos saber.
 Saberemos.

Um dia antes que Hilbert pronunciasse estas frases na reunião anual de 1930 da Sociedade Alemã de Cientistas e Físicos, Kurt Gödel, em uma mesa redonda durante a Conferência de Epistemologia, anunciou a primeira expressão de seu teorema da incompletude.

Vida pessoal
Em 1892, Hilbert casou-se com Käthe Jerosch (1864-1945), "a filha de um comerciante de Königsberg, uma jovem espontânea com uma independência de espírito que combinava com o seu próprio". Enquanto em Königsberg tiveram seu único filho, Franz Hilbert (1893-1969). Em 1895, como resultado de uma intervenção em seu nome por Felix Klein, obteve o cargo de Professor de Matemática na Universidade de Göttingen, na época o melhor centro de pesquisa para a matemática do mundo. Ele permaneceu lá para o resto de sua vida.

O filho de Hilbert Franz sofreu ao longo de sua vida a partir de uma doença mental não diagnosticada: seu intelecto inferior era uma terrível decepção para seu pai e este infortúnio era uma questão de angústia para os matemáticos e estudantes de Göttingen. Além disso, Minkowski, o "melhor e mais verdadeiro amigo" de Hilbert, morreu prematuramente de um apêndice rompido em 1909.

Axiomatização da geometria

O livro Grundlagen der Geometrie (Fundamentos da Geometria) foi publicado inicialmente em 1899, com modificações e acréscimos em diversas edições posteriores. Nesse livro Hilbert apresenta um novo conjunto de axiomas para a geometria, muito maior que o sistema original de Euclides, sistematizando desenvolvimentos realizados no século XIX e apresentando o sistema com superior rigor formal. Além do desenvolvimento geométrico, os Fundamentos de Geometria apresentam demonstrações de independência e consistência relativa de alguns dos axiomas, o que constitui um desenvolvimento meta-teórico.

Período nazista
Hilbert vivenciou o fim da dinastia matemática da Universidade de Göttingen, a partir de 1933, quando Adolf Hitler assumiu o poder na Alemanha, tendo então os nazistas afastado a maior parte dos membros da faculdade.

Cerca de um ano após este desastre, Hilbert frequentou um banquete e sentou-se ao lado do novo ministro da educação nazista, Bernhard Rust. Rust perguntou, "É mesmo verdade, professor, que o seu instituto sofreu muito com a partida dos judeus e dos seus amigos?" Hilbert respondeu, "Sofreu? Não, Herr Minister, não sofreu. Ele simplesmente deixou de existir".

Quando Hilbert faleceu em 1943, os nazistas tinham praticamente acabado com a universidade, uma vez que muitos de seus membros eram judeus, ou casados com judeus. Seu funeral foi presenciado por menos de uma dúzia de pessoas, das quais apenas duas eram colegas da universidade.

A curva de Hilbert

A curva de Hilbert é uma curva fractal contínua que foi descrita pela primeira vez por David Hilbert em 1891.

Frase célebre
Ignoramus et ignorabimus é uma expressão em latim que significa ignoramos e ignoraremos, que exprime o pessimismo acerca dos limites do conhecimento científico, por altura do século XIX. O fisiologista alemão Emil du Bois-Reymond exprimiu esta frase na sua obra Über die Grenzen des Naturerkennens de 1872. Em resposta a esta famosa expressão frisando limitações no campo do saber e em defesa de um maior otimismo na área das pesquisas científicas Hilbert dirigiu as seguintes notórias linhas aos membros da *Sociedade de Cientistas e Médicos da Alemanha no seu discurso de aposentadoria no outono europeu de 1930:
Wir müssen wissen. Wir werden wissen. (Nós precisamos saber, e nós iremos saber).
O epitáfio em sua lápide em Göttingen contém seu nome e, logo abaixo, estas mesmas palavras.
A física é demasiado difícil para os físicos.

Yesterday we revealed Chattanooga Education Association's Chris Brooks meandering diatribe on JC Bowman. Today, Jennifer Martin mounts a moving defense of JC, an honorable defender of Right to Work and teacher freedom, appearing in Bluff City Education.
For a few months now, Chris Brooks, the Tennessee Education Association representative for District 6, has been closely following Professional Educators of Tennessee president J.C. Bowman. With seemingly no endgame or debate-worthy remarks, he has taken it upon himself to write scathing remarks about Bowman's career and his impact on education, attacking everything from his tweets to his character. His writings on this man are riddled with wild accusations and inaccuracies, bringing me to simultaneous laughter and horror as I see what they have to say about this hardworking advocate for teachers: who also happens to be my own father.
I've been raised into it by my parents, two teachers who turned into policy makers as their passion for education expanded beyond the classroom. Their endless devotion to fighting for the rights of struggling students and teachers made me come to one conclusion: I never wanted to be a teacher. Seeing the struggles against them in their fight for educators made the profession seem way too hard. By some twist of irony, it is my husband who has fallen in love with teaching and has now become a teacher himself. It seems you can't ever separate yourself from you parents entirely, hm?
So when I came across Brooks' supposed expose against my father, I, as an opinionated writer, could not pass up the chance to respond, despite the fact that my dad specifically asked me not to. See, my defense of my dad doesn't come from just a place of genetically-forced admiration. I genuinely disagree with Brooks and find him presumptuous and vain in his factually incorrect takedowns.
However instead of devoting his life to finding ways to better those issues—perhaps due to the drop in members from the TEA in his district—he has taken to attacking my dad on the regular. He points to my dad's extensive work history as "proof" along with vaguely-associated organizations and funders of places he worked at, jobs he took in order to provide his family the best opportunities.
After graduating high school, he joined the Marines so that he could fund his own way through college and earned himself a Bachelor's degree in History and a Master's degree in Business Administration. He found his way into teaching, and like any good teacher, joined the teacher's union: where his ideas and opinions were consistently met with resistance and dues were raised to levels he often could not afford. And this is how he got into education policy.
While he was in Florida, I was in high school. I seem to remember a very different man than the one Brooks describes so venomously. He stayed out working 13-hour days and came home exhausted, missing our events. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and voluntarily quit to pursue nonprofit interests.
Since my dad began working for Professional Educators of Tennessee, I have seen him publically advocate for bills and causes that he doesn't personally support because his members want it. When Brooks attacks views PET supports, he's attacking views that the teachers themselves support. He can try to dig up news articles that are nearly two decades old, but the fact of the matter is that my dad takes his job at PET very seriously.
Of all the "connections" my dad supposedly has, he has only ever fought for teachers and the policies that he believes will make their lives, and the lives of their students, so much better. Lawmaking is an imperfect practice and sometimes there will be mistakes in trying to find the right solution to problems.
Whatever he's spoken or written, I can tell you from firsthand experience that my dad works tirelessly to improve the lives of teachers. I've seen him walk away from a family meal to personally take a phone call from a teacher who found herself in need of legal representation. Do the leaders at the NEA give out their personal phone numbers to teachers?
At no point in any of Brooks' writings does he seem to indicate any level of concern for students, parents, or teachers. His devotion is mindlessly only to "the union" with absolutely no interest in advocating for what's actually important in education. He doesn't seem to have any academic background in law or education. He's never been a teacher. Apparently his job isn't so much to be an activist as to be a troll: with a clever use of key words and elaborate SEO, probably the skew potential PET members from getting actual research on Professional Educators of Tennessee as their organization continues to grow. His posts are a clever marketing scheme from the TEA: wrapped in pure venom.
I've personally heard the distress from my mother as she is told she is "forbidden" from advertising for Professional Educators of Tennessee at schools. The TEA seems obsessed with obtaining control over each and every teacher so they can maintain a single goal, without taking the multiple needs of different teachers into mind.
The TEA, and people like Brooks, see teachers as some sort of asset to be won, and not as individuals. The reason they fight against PET, maybe, is because they see them as a real competition now. At one point, Brooks even says PET is "siphoning members" away like they're some sort of inanimate object, which is obviously the real point of his rant: he needs more members so he can get more money. Instead of seeing PET as another avenue to fight for teachers' rights (and PET is still 100% member-funded, despite Brooks' falsifications to the contrary—can the TEA say the same thing?) they apparently don't want Tennessee's teachers to have their own opinions or goals outside of what the TEA says they should have.
Brooks can continue to nitpick and attempt to link something as simple as a picture into long essays personally attacking a man I know who will stop at nothing to make sure teachers have only the best representation and policies affecting them. He can blatantly lie and accuse PET of advancing corporate interests, having never actually interacted with my dad in person before or spoken to him on the phone before stating it as fact.
I suppose Brooks will continue to stalk and harass my father in order to prevent Tennessee teachers from having any choice in who they are represented by as the TEA continues to bleed members. I'm not sure what Brooks wants. If the TEA is a better representation for teachers, then I assume their efforts will speak for itself. But for my dad, it's never been a matter of pro-corporation or anti-union. It's always been, and always will be, doing what's best for teachers.
