At 93% of our Membership goal, we are in position to meet or beat it. It’s a very good place to be at mid-year. Armfuls of hugs to Chair Bella Goldstine and her committee for the beautiful University on Wheels event on January 11th, held in partnership with the Los Angeles Chapter. The event featured Brandeis’ Professor Anita Hill. The results of the combined team efforts were evident and applauded by all. We received a lovely thank you note from Savannah Pearlman, the Brandeis Student Ambassador for our region, whom we hosted at the event. Savannah hopes to visit our Board in April when on Spring break. Thus far, we have produced four major events: the Study Group Brunch for Leaders and Coordinators; the successful Fall Luncheon: Spotlight on Hollywood; University on Wheels in partnership with the Los Angeles Chapter; and the upcoming Words, Wit & Wisdom: Books & Authors on April 28th. The 4-part Speakers Series this season presented unusually exciting talent—each unique in their own way. We produced our chapter’s first electronic Bulletin and hope to see our chapter website online in the next few months. In addition, we contributed to the Western Region Bulletin. The E-Bulletin and Website Task Force has been very active. We owe a great deal to Deborah Shapiro, the daughter of Phyllis and Bruce Davidson. Deborah has been helping us develop a completely computerized membership database of our nearly 1,500 Members and Friends. She has been an amazing resource and teacher. Brandeis News: Brandeis University has a new President, Frederick M. Lawrence, the 8th in Brandeis’ history. Inside this issue is a message from President Lawrence. The University is nearing its campaign goal of $3 million for Fulfilling the Promise, and thanks to the generosity of the Mandel Foundation, this Fall opened a $22.5 million facility that increases attention to the centrality of the humanities in higher education. Recently, Janice Fineman, BNC Executive Director, forwarded information about a new visioning and planning process for BNC. The first part of the process is a survey being sent by the University to a random sample of members nationwide. Please urge anyone you know who receives the survey to complete and return it. BNC Western Region (west of the Mississippi) is soliciting nominations for Western Regional officers for a 3-year term, 2011-14, beginning July 1st. The positions to be filled are Western Region President, Western Region Advisors (2), and Western Region Treasurer. I have the nomination forms, which call for a substantial amount of information on each candidate. If you would like our chapter to recommend someone for any of these positions, please let me know. In closing, a few words about “civility”: Our society increasingly has become more combative in nature and we have to work ever harder at finding some peace in our own lives. I hope each and every one of you is able to find that peaceful center in yourself and set an example for those around you.

She received her rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College in New York City in 1998. Upon ordination she served Temple Shalom in Norwalk, Connecticut. Rabbi Klein pursued the rabbinate out of a passion for ancient texts, mythology, liturgy and poetry. She has written numerous articles (Harper’s Bazaar, Tikkun, Jewish Journal, Torat Hayim), poems and prayers which are used in houses of prayer all around the country. Her novel "Drawing in the Dust" was published in 2009. Rabbi Klein gives numerous presentations and is a panel participant or keynote speaker at various assemblies all over the country. She is a resource for reporters in regional newspapers and has appeared as a commentator on the History Channel in “Digging for the Truth." Rabbi Klein began serving at Temple Isaiah in 2000 and teaches Torah every Shabbat morning, employing traditional, Chasidic and modern interpretations. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Jonathan and their children Rachmiel, Kinneret and Zimra. CARA BLACK Cara Black’s nationally bestselling and award nominated Aimee Leduc Investigation series, mystery novels which track detective Aimee Leduc, have been translated into French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Hebrew. She’s included in "Great Women Mystery Writers" by Elizabeth Lindsay (2nd edition published in the U.K.). Her first three novels in the series: "Murder in the Marais," "Murder in Belleville", and "Murder in the Sentier," were each nominated for an Anthony Award as Best Novel. All of her mystery novels take place in the City of Light, each in one of the city’s very different neighborhoods. "Murder in the Latin Quarter" is a finalist for Best Novel Award from the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association (NCIBA). Although Ms. Black did not publish her first crime novel until 1999, the seed was planted in the early 1980's by a French friend who introduced her to a whole different history of Paris—that darker side, that other side. She lives in San Francisco with her husband, a bookseller, and her teenage son. She is a San Francisco Library Laureate and a member of the Paris Societe Historique in the Marais. Her next Aimee Leduc novel, "Murder in Passy," will be released in hardcover in March 2011, as will the paperback, "Murder in the Palais Royal." NINA REVOYR Nina Revoyr was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and a Polish father. She grew up in Tokyo, Wisconsin and Los Angeles. She received her MFA in Writing from Cornell University and published her first novel, "The Necessary Hunger", in 1997, which was described by the Los Angeles Times as “the kind of irresistible read you start on the subway at 6:00 p.m. on the way home from work and keep plowing through until the last page at 3:00 a.m.” Her second novel, "Southland", was a BookSense 76 pick and won the Ferro- Grumley and Lambda Literary awards, was an EDGAR Award Finalist, and named one of the “Best Books of 2003” by the Los Angeles Times. Ms. Revoyr’s work has been featured in many magazines, newspapers, and radio shows including the Los Angeles Times, Vanity Fair, and NPR’s Weekend Edition. She lives and works in Los Angeles. Her newest novel, "Wingshooters," which will be published in March 2011, is set in central Wisconsin against the backdrop of Vietnam and the post civil rights era. The book explores both connection and loss as well as complex but enduring bonds of family. , 4 Brandeis Bulletin - San Fernando Valley Chapter February - March 2011 SUSAN STRAIGHT Susan Straight was born in Riverside, California. As a student at Riverside Community College, she received encouragement to pursue her writing. She earned a scholarship to the University of Southern California and in 1984 earned her M.F.A. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s MFA Program for Poets & Writers. She co-founded the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing & Writing for the Performing Arts program at the University of California, Riverside, where she currently teaches. She has published six novels, a novel for young readers, and children books. She has written for numerous national publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, and Harper’s Magazine, a frequent contributor to NPR and Salon.com.

  • Give a Year. Change the World
    give a year. change the world. ANNUAL REPORT & DONOR RECOGNITION BOOK 2010 Dear Friends, Education is the foundation of the American dream. Yet more than one million students give up on school in the United States every year. The high school dropout crisis is a national epidemic that requires bold action. There is hope. We know how to identify the students most at risk and we know what they need to succeed. Research shows that we can identify students who are likely to drop out as early as middle school by tracking early warning indicators of poor attendance, behavior issues and course failure in math and English. City Year is harnessing the energy and idealism of young adults in national service and placing them in these high-need schools to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduation and life success. This year, City Year united more than 1,500 diverse young leaders in full-time service to help turn around our lowest performing schools, close the education achievement gap and help students succeed. City Year deploys our AmeriCorps members into high-poverty schools, serving as "near-peer" role models and performance coaches, helping students develop socio-emotionally and achieve academically. Corps members work with at-risk students from 7:30 a.m. until the last student leaves the after-school program at dusk. We are seeing promising results: sharp increases in student attendance, progress in behavior and improved course performance in math and English. In 2010, 90% of all students tutored by City Year improved raw literacy scores, and the number of students with less than 90% attendance was cut in half as a result of City Year’s attendance support activities.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet.

  • President Barack Obama Speaks at CCSU
    Spring 2014 the magazine for alumni & friends of central connecticut state university President Barack Obama speaks at CCSU PRESIDENT’S CORNER President Barack Obama’s visit to CCSU in March, while in itself an exciting event for our campus and our communities, is actually only one in a series of developments this year indicating that we are making progress in becoming a truly exceptional university. As was reported in this magazine last spring, we have staked out a goal to become an exceptional regional public comprehensive university. In the list of those developments, first come our students, of course. Since last March when our Jazz Band Ensemble won the Villanova Jazz Band Festival, our students have repeatedly demonstrated the outstanding quality of the CCSU educational experience: as you will read in this issue, their research and preparation has enabled them to place at the top in academic competitions against students from distinguished institutions of higher learning. And in athletics, always a part of the collegiate experience, our men’s cross-country team won both the Northeast Conference Championship and the New England Championship, where they outpaced teams from perennial powerhouses in the sport. The awarding of AACSB accreditation to the School of Business testifies to how well our academic programs are flourishing. CCSU is now one of only two public universities in Connecticut accredited by the AACSB and one of only 687 worldwide. New programs such as our masters in STEM education, weekend cohort program in Marriage & Family Therapy, and the MBA (launching in fall) further enrich our educational offerings.

Price, President of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS). "We received a record number of entries this year for the News and Documentary Emmy Awards,” said Price. “Entries totaled 1654, up from last year’s 1450.” The awards recognize outstanding achievement by individuals and programs broadcast during the 2001 calendar year. “These entries and nominations reflect the extraordinary year of television news coverage that 2001 proved to be,” said Bill Small, Vice Chairman for News and Documentaries. “This year’s awards will pay tribute to the role of broadcast journalists in covering 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan, among the most significant news stories in modern history. It will also reflect that same excellence in the coverage of news in other key areas affecting our culture including the AIDS crisis as a world health problem and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” This year, the presentation of the News and Documentary Emmy Awards will be part of a series of events titled “9/11 to 9/11: A Tribute to News Professionals.” The tribute will begin on Monday, September 9, at the Essex House with a noontime lunch for newsmakers and leading television journalists and executives. Later that day, a symposium attended by journalists, television executives, newsmakers and students will be held at Fordham University to study the role of television in covering the current world crisis.
