Have You Ever Thought About Showing?? Several years ago I became interested in participating in western pleasure horse shows. I had a lovely Palomino quarter horse mare, who I thought would be perfect for shows. Unfortunately, she was extremely anxious in a crowd of horses, and panicked in the trailer. I decided that I would not subject her to the stress of trailering and shows, and she has become a steady trail horse on our own property. After a yearlong search, I finally found my once in a lifetime horse. Radical Impact, also known as Black Bart, he is a fourteen year old, quarter horse gelding. He has fabulous temperament, impeccable training, extensive show experience, and is very handsome. He knows a great deal more than I do about western pleasure, and is very patient with me as I learn. We attended our first horse show this past weekend at the Hamburg Fairgrounds Battle Series Open Horse My goals for the show were to have fun, smile, and show. We received first place in the Trail Class, and not fall off. I achieved all of my goals, and look placed in showmanship. I learned what I need to forward to the next Battle Series Open Horse Show in work on, and had a great time in all of the events. September at the Hamburg Fairgrounds.

Indeed I do not hesitate to say that it has done more to enhance our understandings of the challenges of urban life and urban inequality than any other media event or scholarly publication, including studies by social scientists…The Wire develops morally complex characters on each side of the law, and with its scrupulous exploration of the inner workings of various institutions, including drug-dealing gangs, the police, politicians, unions, public schools, and the print media, viewers become aware that individuals’ decisions and behaviour are often shaped by - and indeed limited by - social, political, and economic forces beyond their control".

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

Education, Violence, and Re-Wiring Our Schools Margareth Etienne† I. INTRODUCTION Is there a relationship between the education system and the crim- inal justice system? What is the connection between education and criminality? Two theories prevail. Theory I is, simply put, that educa- tion (or school programs) can reduce crime. This common perception is supported by a great deal of research among sociologists and criminol- ogists revealing that better and higher education attainment levels cor- relate with lower criminal behavior. Scholars diverge in their hypothe- ses to explain why this is the case,1 but it is fair to say that education provides opportunities that stem from greater substantive knowledge, hard and soft skills, credentials and greater employment prospects, pro- social attitudes, and positive social networks2 that advance the life pro- spects of young people. With these opportunities, students are less likely to resort to crime for money or social advancement and are more likely to be socialized against the acceptability of resorting to crime.3 In addition to robust evidence of correlation, some scholars argue that they have discovered causal links between education and lower crime levels.4 † Professor of Law and Nancy Snowden Research Scholar, University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign.

A group of scholars at Richland College were the first to apply the institute's program to higher education. The essays in this collection were written by teachers and administrators who have worked together, and in solitude, to explore the inner landscape of an educator's life. Here they report on.what they discovered during those explorations and how their discoveries have illumined, challenged, and changed their lives as sOucators. This collection of essays is divided into five sections: (1) "The Courage to Change"; (2) "Safe Space"; (3) "Deep Listening"; (4)"We Teach Who We Are"; and (5)"Under the Surface: Our Stories."
