Mr. Redskin Officially Given His Crown Are the AP exams necessary? 5 Apple’s iPad: The latest touchable technology 15 Issue 6 The Students’ Newspaper of Neshaminy High School April 30, 2010 2001 Old Lincoln Highway Langhorne, Pa. 19047 www.neshaminy.k12.pa.us/playwickian/ Mr. Redskin offi cially given his crown Nick Patruskey poses with teacher Justin Bursk, after he receives “Best of Show” for his artwork at the BCCC 15th Annual Art Exhibi- tion. Photo/John Patruskey Various art pieces of several Neshaminy students were selected to showcase in Hicks Art Center Gallery at Bucks County Community College. In the 15th Annual Bucks County High School Art Exhibition, senior Nick Patruskey, an advanced art three student, was awarded with “Best of Show” for his original sketch that was displayed in the gallery from April 5-11. On display was his “self-portrait, still life done in pencil.” Patruskey drew insight from his surroundings and environ- ment, and was especially infl uenced by future prospects. “I get my inspiration from everything around me. Whether it be people, places, or life altogether. Also, I am very in- spired by my future and what it holds in store for me,” he said. Neshaminy art teachers collaborated in an effort to choose their preferences for the competition, including Patruskey’s art teacher, Justin Bursk. They selected from fi ve pieces but there was a size requirement for the pieces as well as some additional prerequisites. The art selection needed to be creative and unique, a good example of Kyle O’Donnell waves to the audience, ironically to later be revealed as Neshaminy’s fi rst Mr. Redskin. how to use the materials, and both visually and intellectu- ally interesting.

  • Gillian Laub CV 2021
    Gillian Laub (b.1975, Chappaqua, New York) is a photographer and filmmaker based in New York. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in comparative literature before studying photography at the International Center of Photography, where her love of visual storytelling and family narratives began. Laub’s first monograph, Testimony (Aperture 2007), began as a response to the media coverage during the second Intifada in the Middle East, and a desire to create a dialogue between apparent enemies. This work is comprised of portraits and testimonies from Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs, Lebanese, and Palestinians all directly and indirectly affected by the complicated geopolitical context in which they lived. Laub spent over a decade working in Georgia exploring issues of lingering racism in the American South. This work became Laub’s first feature length, directed and produced, documentary film, Southern Rites that premiered on HBO in May 2015. Her monograph, Southern Rites (Damiani, 2015) and travelling exhibition by the same title came out in conjunction with the film and are being used for an educational outreach campaign, in schools and institutions across the country. Southern Rites was named one of the best photo books of 2015 by TIME, Smithsonian, Vogue, LensCulture, and American Photo. It was also nominated for a Lucie award and Humanitas award. "Riveting...In a calm, understated tone, Southern Rites digs deep to expose the roots that have made segregated proms and other affronts possible. Southern Rites is a portrait of the inequities that lead to disaster on the streets of cities like Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo.” - The New York Times Laub has been interviewed on NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, Times Talks and numerous others.

  • 2010 Spaceport News Summary
    2010 Spaceport News Summary The 2010 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. The “Spaceport News” portion used a bolder look at the beginning of the year and finished the year with a less bold look. This feature is included on page 1 of some of the 2010 Spaceport News issues. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article. Starting with this Summary, the margins are left and right justified, more like a book. Page 1 From The January 8, 2010, Spaceport News On page 3, “South Florida undergraduates launch weather balloon, future”. Part of the article states “Sixteen undergraduate students, who might someday invent a sustainable lunar outpost or launch rockets and groundbreaking research satellites into space, participated in a five-day Space Florida Academy program at Kennedy on Dec.

    JUNE 2004 Volume 6 Issue 6 June 2004 Plum Brook is ISO 14001 certified BY S. JENISE VERIS P lum Brook Station (PBS), home to four of Glenn's world-class test facilities, has earned ISO 14001 certification. ISO 14001 is a management system for improving environmental performance. It helps an organization identify environmental aspects and impact and then develop programs, processes, and systems to reduce any impact. Focusing resources on reducing environmental impacts helps reduce cost and future liability. "Achieving ISO certification is a wonderful reflection on Bob Lallier (environmental program manager) and the PBS civil servant and contract employees' commitment to work together to assure safe, cost-effective, responsive, and reliable performance of research testing at the facility," said Michael Blotzer, chief of Glenn's Environmental Management Office (EMO). Lewis Field facilities earned ISO 14001 certification in 2001. PBS did not participate in that audit, according to Blotzer, because a Headquarters Functional Review deter- mined that PBS could not be fairly evaluated due to the absence of an onsite environmental program manager to initiate a plan for improvement. In August 2001, Bob Lallier was hired to orchestrate this task. Lallier previously served as an environ- mental specialist with the U.S. Coast Guard, Ninth District in Cleveland. "We looked at all the environmental aspects and possible impacts over the course of several meetings with EMO managers and facility operators. Then, with the help of a risk assessment model, we set objectives and targets of attack to improve environ- mental performance," explained Lallier. "The whole group considers it a good educational experience and takes great pride in the accomplishment." N Shin named deputy associate administrator for Aeronautics NASA EXPLORER SCHOOLS .....

As for cargo, Russian, Japanese and European spacecraft will fill the void, though none is as big as the shuttle. "Every one of the remaining missions is an important mission for us. Because we only have a few left, we have to get everything that we're going to get uphill on these next few missions," said NASA test director Steve Payne.
