Deputy Mayor Lofaro Opens Volatile Meeting to Public Comment
New Hyde Park Deputy Mayor Robert Lofaro opened up the very packed meeting for questioning regarding the proposed LIRR third rail and depression, but before he did that he said, "We are here as the Village Task Force. Our responsibility is to be a clearinghouse for information and anything we know we will tell you. I can understand that the folks whose homes are affected and other neighbors are very concerned and very emotional, as well they should be, and what we are trying to say, we don't want to get yelled at because we are just the messengers." .
The liberal art of pricing an education
They used to be called "students," those young 'uns in hoodies, clutching their cups of Starbucks chai as they edge into my classroom, pulling out notebooks and pencils. The Bush administration prefers to call them "customers." "Student" implies a process of growth, of gaining expertise over time and effort. A "customer" enjoys a fully formed state of empowerment. In the interests of "customer" service, Margaret Spellings, U.S. secretary of education, convened a blue-ribbon panel to consider whether colleges and universities were delivering value for money. Buying higher education should be like buying a vehicle, she says. You go online; you get performance reports and compare prices. "This same transparency and ease should be the case when families shop for colleges, especially when one year of college can cost more than a car." Spellings wants to create a huge federal database that spells out an institution's achievements in teaching.
Career Development Center is
A "one-stop" spot for careers can be found at the Career Development Center on the Meridian Community College campus. Located in the Webb Center, the "one-stop" center is not exclusive to the Highway 19 North campus. "We're open to the community, not just for MCC students," said Deborah Nettles, coordinator. The center provides access to career counseling, career information resources, on-line and computer-based career search, career assessment, job placement, employability counseling and training, and resume writing services. The Career Development Center also recruits, assesses, counsels and refers individuals to training and/or jobs. "The center's emphasis is the non-traditional student, such as displaced workers, adults, people seeking career changes and the unemployed," Nettles said. Equipped with the latest technology in career decision and job placement, the Career Development Center features a skilled team able to tailor a career path for each client.
