The Office Season Two The Office Season Two The Dundies Kicks off Season Two By Taylor Perez he Dundies episode is the very first epi- sode in the second season of The Office. The TDundies are a tradition for the Dunder Miff- lin office in Scranton, however, the tradition ends when Michael leaves the office and moves to Colorado with his fiancee Holly Flax lat- er on in the series. The Dundies are held in the local Chili’s restaurant, and Michael hosts with Dwight being the co-host. Aside from all of the awards given, this episode is the first time we see Jim and Pam kiss. Pam was incredi- bly intoxicated, and later towards the end of the episode, an employee of the restaurant says she is not welcome back to any of the Chili’s Pam shows off her Dundie to the camera. restaurants ever again. During this time, Pam is still engaged to Roy, but she kiss- es Jim after accepting her Dundie for “Whitest Sneakers.” At this point, it is obvious that she is severely drunk, and she keeps sneaking drinks off of other customers tables. Even though the two characters kiss, Jim ends up asking another coworker to give Pam a ride home. This episode is where viewers can no longer deny the connection between Pam and Jim, and we see more of this in the Casino Night episode, the finale of season 2. Michael Scott is Always Watching By Tyler Dunn he Email Surveillance episode has Dunder Mifflin’s tech support employee, Sadiq, ar- rives at the Scranton branch to set up a system that allows Michael Scott to monitor This employees’ emails. When everyone in the office finds out, Jim Halpert worries that Mi- chael will discover the party he is throwing that night, to which Michael is not invit- ed. Inevitably, Michael notices and tries to get Jim to admit that he’s having a party, while Jim acts nonchalantly as if nothing is happening. A classic popular kid versus dorky kid vibe has been added by doing this. In order to keep Dwight Schrute from exposing the party, Jim tells him that it is a surprise party for Michael. Pam Beesly notices some things that lead her to sus- pect that Dwight and Angela Martin are dating. However, she discreetly abandons her suspicions when she asks Phyllis Lapin if she noticed any office romances and Phyllis guesses that Pam meant Michael brings his fire, ready, aim attitude to her and Jim. Jim and Pam bond when she sees Jim’s improv. room for the first time and looks through his high school yearbook. The experience brings us to expect what Jim feels later at Casino Night. Page One The Office Season Two Fight Breaks Out in The Office By Chloe Jones he opening scene of each episode is unique and hi- larious, but this one really takes the cake. Dwight Twalks in to find that his desk is missing, and when he goes looking for it, he finds that it has been relo- cated to the bathroom. He then answers a phone call from Jim- who pulled the prank on him- from inside the bathroom. The episode then continues onto it’s main theme within the first half, which is that Dwight believes that he is superior to everyone in the of- fice and could beat up anyone there. He then asks Jim to punch him to show how strong he is, but when Jim Dwight and Michael duke it out to find doesn’t want to, he asks Dwight, and gets punched in out who is most dominant in the office. the gut twice. As a secondary running theme, Michael is supposed to sign timecards, purchase orders, and expense reports. To avoid all of this, Michael decides that there will be a fight between him and Dwight to see who would win. They then travel to Dwight’s dojo where his Sensei judges the competition. Right from the start, Dwight is quick to land a clean kick in Michael’s side. Michael re- sponds to this by using childish tactics to try to distract Dwight and get a hit on him. He also tries taunting Dwight but in the end Michael pins Dwight and tries to spit into his mouth, causing him to lose. We then come back to the office and Michael continues to put off signing the paperwork. At the end of the day, Pam, Angela, Stan- ley and Toby sign the paperwork while Michael makes amends with Dwight by “promot- ing” him from Assistant to the Regional Manager to Assistant Regional Manager. The episode then ends with one of The Office’s most famous quotes; “Would I rather be feared or loved? Um, easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.” Dwight Wins Salesman of The Year By Chloe Jones n this episode, midway through season 2, Dwight wins salesman of the year and finds out that he will be honored and asked to give a speech at a convention. Michael Imakes the speech seem like a big deal to Dwight, so he gets nervous and Michael tries throughout the episode to set an example for what a good speech is. He even tells him that he must be entertaining. As a second running theme- as these episodes usually have- Oscar and Angela disagree on what temperature the thermostat should be set at. Michael tries, badly, to set an example for what good public speaking looks like by telling everyone in the office that they will all be getting $1000 bonuses. He then sends Dwight out to “tell them anything.” Dwight follows Michaels lead and makes up something that didn’t happen, saying that there had been an accident and Brad Pitt was injured. He continues to add to the bad news more and more until Michael stops him and brings everyone into the conference room. He then decides that everyone should learn how to be a public speaker. After a few employees speak, Michael invites Dwight to speak and he decides that he isn’t nervous in front of the other employees because they are his “subordinates.” Contuned on next page Page Two The Office Season Two Dwight Wins Salesman of The Year (Continued) Dwight continues to stress over the speech and Jim decides to give him some advice that is sure to em- barrass him. He also gives him speech inspiration from dictators throughout history. Dwight and Michael head to the convention and Dwight is more stressed than ever. After his name is announced he panics, and Michael goes on stage for him. Back at the office, the fight over the temperature in the office continues. After a while of Michael’s shenanigans, Dwight runs onstage and begins to take Jim’s advice by bang- ing his fists and yelling. He gains an applause Dwight gives a rousing speech after win- from the audience for this, which picks up more as ning salesman of the year. the speech goes on. He gets many handshakes after the speech and Michael is upset that Dwight did well so in the end he tries his best to one-up him by saying that he captivated Dwight, who captivated 1,000 guys. The Office Worries, Celebrates a Birthday By Chloe Jones his fun episode begins with a laugh when Jim proves to Michael that he is wrong, and he in fact was promoting a pyramid scheme. (When one person recruits a few people to sell Tsomething, who then recruit more people, etc.) Then, we jump right into Michael promoting that it’s his birthday and trying to get everyone excited about it. We then find out that Kevin is waiting to hear if he has skin cancer. People argue over the severity of Kevin’s possible skin cancer when a delivery woman walks in with a package for Michael, and he be- lieves that she is a stripper. Completely bewildered, the delivery woman looks to Pam for any idea of what is going on. Pam signs the paper for the package and the episode moves on to Michael eating in his office while complaining that nobody cares it’s his birthday. At 11:23, Dwight enlists the help of other employees to lift Michael in a chair to celebrate his exact moment of birth. Jim and Pam sneak out to get Kevin something to make him feel better. After they leave, Michael gets bologna, ketchup, and tomato subs for everyone in the office, and when they tell him that they don’t like those toppings, he gets upset and goes to his office. We then go to Jim and Pam who are at the store buying Kevin some things. Dwight brings out the cake for Michael right when Kevin gets the phone call from some- one asking if he had his results yet. Michael gets jealous that the rest of the of- fice is more focused on Kevin than they are on him. Michael is upset that he got no attention from anyone in the office and takes it upon himself to tell Kevin that even if he gets skin cancer, he will live, and ev- eryone should still have fun anyway. Michael then takes everyone to an ice-skating rink and claims that it’s to cheer Kevin up. When Kevin gets a phone call, Michael races over to him. Kevin tells everyone that the results are negative and Michael mistakes this to mean that he Dunder Mifflin employees gather around has cancer. Michael opens his gifts and Kevin opens a Kevin to wait to hear his test results.

    Page 1 of 27 A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel “A Caseworker’s Guide to Processing Cases with Israel” provides contact and policy information and describes basic requirements for forms and procedures for use in cases between Israel and U.S. jurisdictions. Israel and the U.S. entered into a federal-level Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the terms of which Israel and the United States each express its intent to process child support requests for the other. The MOU provides for an initial period of three years effective February 5, 2009 through February 4, 2012. It continues in effect unless either side notifies the other that it wishes to end its cooperation. An initial period was agreed to because of Israel’s need to evaluate the number of cases coming from the U.S. and the cost of providing free services in these cases. Pursuant to this MOU, Israel has been declared a foreign reciprocating country according to section 459A of the Social Security Act (Act). Israel’s procedures conform substantially with the mandatory elements set forth in section 459A(b)(1) of the Act. Similar to U.S. procedures, Israel will enforce spousal support under the MOU only if the spousal support was entered together with a child support order. The Central Authority for Israel is the Legal Aid Department of the Ministry of Justice. This office was appointed as the Central Authority with respect to the United Nations Convention on Recovery of Maintenance Abroad (New York, 1956). Accordingly, the office has considerable experience working with international child support cases.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West.
