    Extractions: Johnson Space Center Who I Am and What I Do I have worked for the Johnson Space Center for 15 years. I always like to try new things and new challenges. I went to college and received a degree in civil and environmental engineering. My first job while in school was as a surveyor. After college I got a job with an oil company in San Francisco, CA. In this job, I was responsible for the cost estimates for multi-million dollar pipelines. After a couple of years, I moved to Texas where I worked for ARAMCO Services Company. This company's headquarters was located in Saudi Arabia. I was able to travel to Europe and Saudi Arabia for my job where I continued working with the planning, costs and schedules for multi-million dollar refineries. After a few more years, I joined NASA as a project engineer and then moved onto some other management positions. I love math and science and I continue to love to learn new facts. Everyday I go to work I learn something new, and that makes me very happy. I have to be in a position where I am always challenged or I get bored. My job right now is so exciting and so dynamic it makes me so happy! I grew up in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, where I lived for 21 years. I grew up in a family that stressed education. My parents are from mainland China and I was the first generation born in the United States. All of my siblings and I went to private boarding school. My parents sacrificed many materialist items to be able to provide us with the best education.

    Extractions: By Devin D. O'Leary Beginning this week, audiences will get to see the infamous Farrelly brothers ( ) in a whole new light. Sweet, nostalgic, poignant those aren't exactly words that have been used to describe the boys who put the Dippity in Cameron Diaz's Do. The release of their newest film, Outside Providence, may just change all that. Based on a novel by Peter Farrelly and drawn loosely from the screenwriting siblings' childhood growing up in Rhode Island, Outside Providence tells a hilarious but surprisingly heartfelt coming-of-age tale. Working-class teen Tim Dunphy (Shawn Hatosy) lives in the depressed industrial backwater of Pawtucket, R.I., and is saddled with a grumpy dad (Alec Baldwin), a three-legged dog (lest you forget entirely that this is a Farrelly film) and a pack of troublesome pals. After crashing into a parked car one drug-addled night, Tim finds himself shipped off to a snooty prep school. Severely outclassed, outnumbered and out of place, Tim nonetheless lands himself an upscale sweetheart (Amy Smart) and manages to do a little growing up. Weekly Alibi recently chatted with the film's hot young stars Shawn Hatosy ( ) and Amy Smart ( Varsity Blues, Starship Troopers, The Last Time I Committed Suicide

    http://www.readseries.com/auth-bc/coolbio.html
    
    Extractions: Sarah Chauncy Woolsey , who wrote under the name Susan Coolidge, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on January 29, 1835, into a family related not only to Jonathan Edwards and Governor Winthrop, but also to three presidents of Yale: Sarah's great-uncle, Timothy Dwight; her uncle, Theodore Dwight Woolsey; and her cousin, Timothy Dwight. Her childhood and adolescence provided the material for her most famous children's books, the "Katy" series. According to Frances C. Darling, the Woolsey family home in Cleveland five acres, complete with "a pasture with a brook in it and butternut trees and four cows" served as the setting for the Carrs' home in What Katy Did , and the Carr children were loosely modeled on Sarah Woolsey and her siblings. Sarah, the eldest, "was uncommonly tall, just [like] Katy Carr, quick-witted, impulsive and full of imagination" (253). Her sister Jane, "small and fair with lovely blue eyes," (253) became Clover in the stories; her brother William was Phil; the youngest sisters Elizabeth and Theodora (frequently called Dora) became Elsie and Johanna, respectively; and an orphaned cousin, Theodorus, who lived with the family, was Dorry. These are the six children referred to in the book's dedication (253). Like other nineteenth-century girls' authors, Coolidge was a creative child, producing stories and poems for her family. She was also well educated, attending a private school in Cleveland and, later, with her sister Jane, a boarding school in Hanover, New Hampshire, the Select Family School for Young Ladies.

    on September 3, 1803, Prudence Crandall grew up in a Quaker household and was educated at the New England Friends boarding School in Providence, rhode island.

    Extractions: (1803-1890), educator and social reformer Born in Hopkinton, Rhode Island, on September 3, 1803, Prudence Crandall grew up in a Quaker household and was educated at the New England Friends' Boarding School in Providence, Rhode Island. After a brief period of teaching school, she moved to Canterbury, Connecticut, where she opened a private girls' academy in 1831; it was soon recognized as one of the best in the state. When early in 1833 she admitted to the school a young African-American girl, Crandall was immediately the focus of heated protest and controversy. In March 1833, on the advice of William Lloyd Garrison and Samuel J. May, she opened on the same premises a new school for "young ladies and little misses of color." The local citizenry were even more outraged and embarked upon a campaign of unremitting persecution and ostracism. Within weeks the Connecticut legislature enacted a bill forbidding the establishment of schools for nonresident African Americans without the consent of local authorities. In a case that received wide publicity and enlisted the aid of many prominent abolitionists, Crandall was indicted and convicted under the so-called "Black Law" and imprisoned until July 1834, when the court of appeals reversed her conviction on technical grounds. Local opposition increased to the point of mob violence, however, and in September 1834 she was forced to give up her school. With her husband, Calvin Philleo, a Baptist minister whom she had married in August, Crandall moved to Illinois; after his death in 1874 she went to live with her brother in Elk Falls, Kansas. Connecticut's Black Law had been repealed in 1838, and in 1886 the Connecticut legislature attempted amends with a small pension for Crandall, who died in Elk Falls on January 28, 1890.

    Extractions: N aushon Island, off the Massachusetts coast, has been known as the home of pirates, who confiscated the hard-earned wealth of merchants and businessmen; sheep, obedient creatures who demonstrate no independence; ticks and flies, droning annoying pests; and is rumored to be haunted by frightening, ghostly pale, gaunt figures. It is also a family home of John Kerry; readers can decide for themselves whether he constitutes a redundant addition to that list. Seven miles long and about 5,000 acres, Naushon is the largest and most unspoiled in the Elizabeth Islands chain, just northwest of Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick. The only year-round settlement in the chain is the town of Gosnold, on the outermost and lone public island, Cuttyhunk. In its history, Naushon has been owned by only three families; the family of the first governor of Massachusetts colony, the Winthrops, the Bowdoins, and the Forbeses for the most recent 148 years. "In order to preserve the owners' privacy and maintain the islands in the face of campers, litterers, thieves, arsonists, hunters, and others, they are all strictly no trespassing," wrote Naushon Shareholder David Gregg in a letter to a kayaker in the mid-1990s.

    Extractions: Although Portsmouth is one of two Catholic boarding schools on the East coast, and two-thirds of the student body is Catholic, you do not have to be Catholic to attend. Our non-Catholic students often remark about how comfortable they are in a Catholic environment in which they are not pressured to amend their beliefs, but are encouraged to share their personal opinions both in and out of the classroom. I noticed that all students are required to play a sport each season. Do I have to be an athlete to attend the school? Portsmouth has enjoyed a fine tradition of successful athletics, fielding teams composed of both proven athletes and also students who arrive at Portsmouth with no prior athletic experience. In addition to the afternoon sports selections, students may opt to share their time with others through a community service internship or participate in a dramatic production of the theater department. What do students do on the weekends? Each weekend, Portsmouth provides activities both on and off-campus in order to entertain our students. Regularly scheduled dances, lectures, athletic contests, and movies occupy students? free time, as well as frequent bus trips to Newport, Providence, Boston, and local mountains for skiing.

In 1990, Jim accepted the position of Headmaster at Bridgton Academy in Maine. In July,1995, Jim and Jama arrived at Rocky Hill School . Jim has brought to RHS an incredible amount of experience in all facets of independent school life, along with strong leadership skills, clear vision and a devotion to his alma mater. Jim considers Headmastering to be a unique job. He views his job primarily as a combination of at least three distinct roles: Master teacher for the community, which includes every constituency, coach in a well played game, and CEO of a well run business. "Frequently", states our dynamic Head of School, "and perhaps more often than not, the community also expects me to be the 'pastor' of the congregation!" Jim is a voracious reader, although more is professional in orientation than of a purely relaxing nature. Classic literature and historical novels are among his favorites, especially if they are about the sea. In addition, he is an active member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the Association of Independent Schools of New England (AISNE), and ISARI, as well as other professional organizations. Jim Young is also a member of the Society of the Colonial Wars, reflecting his early family heritage in the state of Rhode Island.
