Education secretary talks student seclusion, trauma and support

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Three separate investigations are underway following allegations that a Denver middle school locked students alone inside a so-called seclusion room. The reports made it to the country’s top education official. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona told "Colorado Point of View" this week that these types of rooms should not be used. Colorado Point of View: What AG Weiser is doing to help the teen mental health crisis "Look, we shouldn’t be having as a strategy a place where a student who’s in trauma is locked in a room alone and possibly harming themselves or destroying the room. We have to have layers of intervention and that requires support," Cardona said.Denver Public Schools does not allow students to be locked in a room, hence the investigations surrounding the reports at McAuliffe International School. But state law does allow for seclusion rooms in certain situations.U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona speaks with "Colorado Point of View" durin...

Plot runs aground in ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

Based on Chapter 7 (aka “The Captain’s Log”) in Bram Stoker’s 1897 classic horror novel “Dracula,” “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” was expanded by writers Bragi F. Schut (“Escape Room”) and Zak Olkewicz (“Bullet Train”) into a full-length feature directed by Norwegian filmmaker Andre Ovredal of the sublime 2010 entry “Troll Hunter.” The film is brought to us by Universal Pictures, the studio that made its name with its Golden Age of Horror in the 1930s. That all sounds great, right?Well, the results are mixed at best. The action begins with the discovery of a wreck on the shores of Whitby, England in 1897, its masts shattered, sails in rags. Cut to four weeks earlier and the Demeter, a cargo vessel under the command of the soon-to-retire Captain Eliot (Liam Cunningham, “Game of Thrones”), is loading a shipment of 50 large crates to convey from Wallachia to London.One of the crates breaks free and almost kills a boy named Toby (Woody Norman), the Captain’s grandson...

Ira Sachs makes film about intimacy, gets NC-17 rating

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

Ira Sachs has been making gay films for over 30 years but “Passages,” a gay, bi and hetero drama, marks the first time he’s been slapped with an NC-17 rating.His film, which premiered at Sundance last January, is now going out unrated, uncut.“Passages,” set in cosmopolitan Paris, stars three of Europe’s most notable new stars – Germany’s Franz Rogowski, England’s out gay actor Ben Whishaw and France’s Adèle Exarchopoulos, best known for the sexually provocative “Blue is the Warmest Color.”When Rogowski’s director impulsively begins an affair with Exarchopoulos’s grade school teacher that changes everything for each of them. It leads to recriminations, lies and an explosive coupling between the two men that led to the rating.It all began, Sachs, 57, said in a Zoom interview, “During the pandemic. I craved a kind of cinema, as well as a kind of experience, that I really missed. And that was one of intimacy and passion.“I wanted to have experiences and I wanted to use cinema to create ...

Lowry: Rational Americans not sold on Hillary’s ‘village’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

Hillary Clinton can’t say she didn’t warn us.In a 3,500-word essay on “The Weaponization of Loneliness” in The Atlantic, the former secretary of state and presidential candidate says her jejune 1996 book, “It Takes a Village,” forecast the country’s current crisis of loneliness and offered still-relevant solutions.And, oh yeah, hapless lonely people exploited by authoritarian right-wingers basically kept her from the White House in 2016 (and here you thought it was Russia).Now, social isolation is a real social problem in America, as Hillary correctly recounts in her essay, and it has contributed to the Trump phenomenon. But that it has been uniquely weaponized against progressives, or that conventional progressive policies are the antidote to this deep-seated phenomenon is as absurd and self-serving as you’d expect from a woman who managed one of the more shocking losses in U.S. presidential history and has been offering excuses ever ...

John Angelos sought development rights to state-owned parking lots as Orioles negotiate new Camden Yards lease

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

As part of seeking an agreement on a new lease that will bind the Orioles to Baltimore, club chairman and CEO John Angelos sought commercial development rights to three state-owned parking lots that sit on valuable land between Oriole Park at Camden Yards and the Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium.Angelos has long said publicly that signing a new agreement with the Maryland Stadium Authority for the state-owned ballpark would be about more than the MLB team’s home field. As part of his idea to create a surrounding “live-work-play” area, four people with knowledge of his request told The Baltimore Sun that Angelos proposed getting the rights to lots A, B and C.One of sources familiar with the negotiations said Angelos’ idea for the parking lots came up earlier in the talks with the administration of Gov. Wes Moore, but is no longer on the table. That is not the direction a final deal is headed, the source said. Another source emphasized that in any negotiation...

Great cast shoots for the stars in sci-fi comedy ‘Jules’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

The great Academy Award-winner Sir Ben Kingsley leads a strong cast in the modest science-fiction/fairy tale “Jules.” Written by TV veteran Gavin Steckler (“Review”) and directed by well-known indie producer Marc Turtletaub (“Little Miss Sunshine”), “Jules” tells the quirky tale of an old man who lives on his own in a leafy suburb (“Jules” was shot in Boonton, N.J.), where the highlight of his week is the town meeting at which he recommends a new crosswalk and a change to the town’s perfectly suitable slogan. Also certain to be at the town meeting are older, civic-minded, local residents Joyce (Jane Curtin) and Sandy (welcome TV veteran Harriet Sansom Harris).In his backyard, the old man, whose name is Milton Robinson (Kingsley in a shaggy wig) has a bird feeder, a patch of prized azaleas and a couple of smaller buildings. A widower, he, like many older Americans, likes watching “C.S.I.” reruns. He has a son he hasn’t heard from and a singleton, veterinarian daughter nam...

Editorial: IRS dropped the ball on millions of tax records: report

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles may be a lot of things, but who knew it was a management model for the Internal Revenue Service.In a move reminiscent of the RMV’s mishandling of out-of-state violations – some 10,000 of which were found before a Massachusetts trucker who should have been off the road was charged in a deadly 2019 New Hampshire crash, a watchdog report says the IRS lost track of millions of sensitive individual and business tax records.As Politico reported, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said Thursday that it found significant deficiencies in safeguarding and accounting for millions of tax records that contain sensitive taxpayer information.They should have been transferred from a closed agency facility in California. The IRS is also unable to locate thousands of records that were stored at a facility in Utah.It’s mandatory that the IRS’ store old tax records in microfilm backup cartridges, but the watchdog said it ...

Franks: Imagine if we had an age-limit amendment in 2010

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:00:42 GMT

One of my favorite movies is “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The story questions what local banker George Bailey’s hometown would have been like had he never lived.Well, let’s imagine what America would be like if we had adopted an age-limit constitutional amendment in 2010.After all, in nearly every occupation, there is an established age limit. Nearly all major labor contracts have an age-limit clause. But, if you are a federal employee there are exceptions to this rule, and at the highest levels – president, vice president, senators, congressmen, and justices on the Supreme Court.Yes, the most powerful have exempted themselves from age limits, much like kings and queens. Royalty and the political elite can stay in power until their deaths.We need an age-limit constitutional amendment. We do not need term-limits instead of age-limits unless we want 10,000 anonymous folks, known as staffers, controlling America. With the elected officials term-limited out, the staffers would be the kings ...
