Dr. Robert W. Gibson, a seminal figure for more than three decades at the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital where he oversaw the desegregation of its facilities, ended its bankruptcy and extended it into the community, died March 8 of heart failure at his Parkton home. He was 89.
"Bob was a major leader in American psychiatry and not just at Sheppard Pratt or in Maryland. He devoted his life to Sheppard Pratt for more than 30 years and was really a remarkable leader," said Dr. Steve Sharfstein who succeeded Dr. Gibson in 1992 as president of what is now Sheppard Pratt Health System.
"He was also a leader when it came to the issue of financing psychiatric care. Sheppard Pratt thrived under Bob, and he really kept the place solvent and moving ahead as a leading psychiatric hospital in the country," said Dr. Sharfstein, who met Dr. Gibson when he was completing his residency in psychiatry. I felt an immediate affinity for him and he was very much my mentor."
Robert Wagner Gibson was born and raised in Lansdowne, Pa., graduating in 1942 from Lansdowne High School.
Dr. Gibson's father was Walter B. Gibson, the noted American pulp writer and magician who was the creator of "The Shadow," one of the most popular radio shows in history. His mother was Charlotte Wagner Gibson, a homemaker.
He attended Lafayette College and entered the Navy's V-12 program at Swarthmore College. After graduation, he entered the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, from which he earned his medical degree in 1948.
After completing an internship in 1948 at Bryn Mawr Hospital in Bryn Mawr, Pa., Dr. Gibson completed residencies in psychiatry at Bethesda Naval Hospital from 1949 to 1952. In 1960, he graduated from the Washington Psychoanalytical Institute as a training psychoanalyst.
From 1952 to 1960, he was a staff psychiatrist at Chestnut Lodge, a Rockville psychiatric institution, before coming to Sheppard Pratt as clinical director in 1960. In 1963, Dr. Gibson was named medical director, the title in those days of the Towson hospital's chief executive officer or president. It wasn't long before he made his influence felt.
He was labeled in a 1991 Baltimore Sun article as "The Man Who Shook Up Sheppard Pratt." He recalled in the article that upon his arrival, the hospital "just seemed to be going no place" and that it was stagnant and lacked vision and direction.
Dr. Gibson recalled his first board meeting, during which he had to persuade members to broaden the hospital's mission and not to sell the facility.
"And so," he recalled, "I said to the board at that first meeting, 'The greatest mistake we could make is to think we were in the business of running a psychiatric hospital.' I still remember the look of despair on their faces. It was as if to say, 'What have we done? Where did we get this idiot?'"
Among the initial crises he had to deal with was Sheppard Pratt's bankruptcy, which he resolved by increasing the daily rate for patients from $20 to $25 per day, said his wife of 32 years, the former Diane Underwood, who was director of rehabilitation services at Sheppard Pratt.
"Suddenly, we went from the red to the black," Dr. Sharfstein said.
Dr. Gibson then turned to desegregating the hospital for both staff and patients before the passage of the 1964 civil rights laws that outlawed segregation.
"He started having lunch with the black staff and then everybody got the idea, which made for more interaction," Dr. Sharfstein said.
"For it was largely the vision of Dr. Gibson that transformed Sheppard from a 19th-century-style asylum into a 21st-century comprehensive psychiatric hospital, nationally known and locally appreciated," observed The Sun in the 1991 article.
Changes came rapidly and often, with some resistance from an entrenched staff used to doing things the old way.
He terminated the practice of custodial care and the warehousing of longtime patients. He got Sheppard Pratt involved in Employee Assistance Programs and established an adolescent unit that features an accredited school for students.
In 1965, he established the first public community mental health center in the nation sponsored by a private psychiatric hospital.
"It became a model of community health care," Dr. Sharfstein said.
Another of Dr. Gibson's important actions was leading the expansion of the hospital's role beyond its 105-acre campus along Charles Street and Towsontown Boulevard. The campus was once surrounded by a white fence and considered a place where outsiders did not intrude.
"If you look at the way things operated here, even in 1960," Dr. Gibson said in the 1991 interview, "it was more like an asylum than a hospital. It was a protection, a closed community. I said, 'Why not have a volunteer department?' They said, 'Oh, that would bring in outsiders.' I said, 'Why not have outpatients?' They said, 'Oh, then you would have people coming from the community.'"
Dr. Gibson introduced psychotropic drugs in 1965 for the treatment of patients while at the same time studying the hazards of such drugs as reserpine, trofranil and chlorpromazine.
Between 1964 and 1970, he led the modernization of the hospital's buildings, many of which dated to the Victorian era. Dr. Gibson also saw the need for a conference center, which was built on the grounds of Sheppard Pratt.
Dr. Gibson, who retired at the end of 1991, had been president of many professional organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, the National Association for Private Psychiatric Hospitals and the Central Neuropsychiatric Hospital Association.
During retirement, he became an active volunteer at Sheppard Pratt.
Dr. Gibson was a long-distance hiker and enjoyed kayaking, photography and playing golf at Pine Ridge.
Plans for a memorial service at Sheppard Pratt are incomplete.
In addition to his wife, Dr. Gibson is survived by two sons, Robert W. Gibson Jr. of Lutherville and Christopher Gibson of Randallstown; a daughter, Peggy Gibson of Lutherville; a stepson, Eric Stine of Collegeville, Pa.; three stepdaughters, Ruth Stine of Havre de Grace, Carolyn Stine of Hershey, Pa., and Sherrie Stine of Delta, Pa.; and 14 grandchildren. An earlier marriage to the former Gwendolyn Locke ended in divorce.

Dear friends,
I've had the oddest week. Not so much a week as an off-key symphony of gasps and stumbles and indignations and re-opened wounds and thoughts about my life and the ephemeral meaning I seek to ascribe to it.
I made a Facebook post on Tuesday about how awful my day was and felt immediately guilty. Because, you know, the Ukraine. If the cultural and socio-economic gnashing of teeth and splitting of skulls we've come to know as geopolitics doesn't incite guilt in you, I've also got examples close to home.
One friend's father is dying of organ failure. He put off seeking medical attention because he couldn't afford it. Another friend's mother is gravely ill with an unexpected, often fatal illness, the kind that blindsides the loved ones of otherwise healthy people who end up dead in less than 48 hours. My friends' blushed faces, their tears, their cracked voices and halting logic overrun by emotion remind me of 2010, the Year I Lost My Mother. I cry for them and I cry for me, knowing their wounds are fresh and will take years to heal and, even then, the scar tissue will occasionally bind them until they wince with pain at unexpected moments.
On the day I cursed life, many of my Facebook friends darted out from behind the social network curtain to send me cheer, to commiserate, to remind me of both happier and sadder days. And so I watch the curious parade of status updates — a recipe, a birthday celebration, "prayer warriors" bound by cause and faith, political rants, happy babies, vacations, and sporting events — and I think to myself that the world spins with or without my participation, without the injured or dying or dead and with no regard for either the gleeful or the grieving. This makes me feel at once small and enormous. I am inconsequential, as are my moods, and yet the world, the glorious, infuriating, life-sustaining and soul-sucking world continues to spin around me, spinning so fast that I am compelled to stand perfectly still, like the spindle in a centrifuge, unswerving, observant, disquisitive about the meaning of my Week of Crap until a kind of willing equanimity washes over me, the immensity of which swells my heart with reconciliation for my mysterious earthly journey.
And I think we're all just plodding — hopeful tramps looking for the slightest evidence of grace in the next soul we meet, so we can shake a hand, offer a word, compare notes, and head on down the road, none the wiser but maybe a wee bit closer to the divine that lives in all of us.
With gratitude {for a week that reminded me of a Jackson Browne song, perhaps a little less harmonious but just as lyrical},
Joan, who'll get up and do it again, Amen

Cool Justice: Post Watergate motto: 'We eat lawyers' bones for breakfast'
Dear Reader,
This will be the last regular installment of Cool Justice for 21st Century Media in Connecticut. I have the pleasure of digging into a couple special assignments and expect to have some work in print with our group over the next few months.
As Cool Justice concludes this chapter, I thought it would be fun to share a few remembrances.
During the Vietnam War, I was a sports writer for The Groton News and Norwich Bulletin. I was 17 when I started. My first story – written on a Remington portable typewriter at Sports Editor Brian Willett's house – was Pee Wee Football Roundup. At the paper I got to "watch" at least one Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fight on the wire machine as Ed Schuyler Jr. of the Associated Press cranked out each round within seconds of its conclusion, much like boxing rounds and other live sports are tweeted today. The wire service machines clanked and pounded like locomotives on train tracks. How I long for that noise.
While at Boston University I wrote stories and did layout for The News, an approximately 20,000-circulation, independent weekly which had been kicked off campus after calling for the impeachment of President Lyndon Johnson as a war criminal. I spent a lot of time at jazz clubs and demonstrations. Howard Zinn was my teacher. Richard Nixon was president. Although the Watergate break-ins occurred in the summer of 1972, they were not yet a factor as Nixon was re-elected in the fall.
Watergate reporting eventually emboldened newspapers big and small in that era, and I was a happy beneficiary.
I returned to the local paper several years later as U.S. troops prepared to leave Saigon. After a while I would meet the AP's legendary correspondent George Esper, who stuck around his bureau after all other reporters left and long enough to give doughnuts to the Viet Cong. I don't recall whether this was a gesture of peace, a plea not to get shot or some combination thereof. Once back in the U.S., Esper was always on the road finding people who didn't want to talk right away. When he got stuck, he would sometimes knock on doors and ask for a glass of water.
This time I was on the news side, covering a couple small towns with more cows than people. One of my big stories was about a woman who actually left pies on her window sill for local youngsters to "steal." I found one of the pie catchers who by that time was near retirement. An item in school board minutes about a temperance award bequeathed by the neighborhood baker led me to the guy who might have been her sole living beneficiary.
I spent a lot of time with farmers, learning a little bit about various soils and treatments and about the bugs that would attack their corn. Some of these guys were also connected politicians in their region and beyond. As we walked around and they explained farmer stuff, they would occasionally offer story tips and ideas. For a time I even subscribed to a cow magazine.
After a couple years of small town and small city reporting and a stint editing on what was then called the suburban desk, I got to follow up on major breakthroughs by colleagues in the cover-up of a hit-and-run death involving corrupt cops and court officials. Auto body putty from the death car was given to local cops and then substituted in the evidence room with bathroom tiles. A judge with jurisdiction over the county told his best friend, a former mayor, that he was a suspect before that determination was made public.
This case was instructive in the way bad cops and bad prosecutors and bad judges sometimes work together against the interests of justice and the people they are supposed to serve.
There were a lot more reporters back then and often there was bold, uncompromising leadership. I remember interviewing a high-powered local lawyer about his representation of three disparate clients in a business transaction. "You stay on your side of the street, and I'll stay on mine," he told me.
My boss – John Peterson – told me not to sweat it. Rather, he said, I should focus on setting the agenda of what was important for readers.
As added inspiration, he said, "We eat lawyers' bones for breakfast." He told me he used to eat snakes for breakfast as part of his military training and, after a while, lawyers' bones sounded pretty good.
This was a career lesson and set the tone for future interactions. I employed it whenever I could. This philosophy and practice later would help me achieve the mass cancellation of Connecticut Law Tribune subscriptions by the state Judicial Department, credit which I hoard to the virtual exclusion of my friend and colleague then and now, Norm Pattis. In reality, we share the credit with our editor and publisher, Vince Valvo, who empowered us.
In a Hartford Courant story headlined "Judge Takes Issue With Law Tribune," Chief Court Administrator Robert Leuba was quoted as saying he didn't like our attitude. Seems he wasn't pleased when we called the phony Judicial Review Council an arrogant protection agency and provided an easy road map for the violent and deposed University of Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight to become a judge in Connecticut.
The perspective still serves some reporters well today. It is noteworthy, for example, that a judge who leaked secret grand jury information in a bribery case connected to a murder walked out of his job undisciplined, unarrested and with a full pension last year in Connecticut. Had the judge been disciplined or arrested after the bribery trial, the murder suspect convicted of bribery would likely get a new trial. The judge became a prosecution witness and his misdeeds were not explored to any significant degree during the trial – because there had been no discipline or arrest. As they say, that's a catch – like Catch-22.
People in power are not necessarily worthy of respect. They are never worthy of deference.

This is the LumiNUS information wiki. Access LumiNUS at https://luminus.nus.edu.sg .
LumiNUS Trailer
What is LumiNUS?
LumiNUS is the evolution of IVLE, NUS' learning management system (LMS). IVLE has existed since 1999, almost 20 years.
In that time, NUS has grown and technologies have advanced. CIT needs to make sure that our LMS is able to keep up with changes in technology. So, our team has developed the new LMS from the ground up.
When visiting LumiNUS, you will notice that it looks very different from IVLE.
But the changes are more than skin-deep. The entire underlying architecture and database have been changed.
These changes are significant enough to warrant a new name. Hence, LumiNUS.
What does LumiNUS mean?
LumiNUS alludes to luminous, which is defined as giving off light, or bright and shining. We hope that we can work with academic staff to light students' educational path in NUS.
Where can I access LumiNUS?
You can log in to LumiNUS using your NUSNET ID and password at https://luminus.nus.edu.sg/.
When does LumiNUS launch?
LumiNUS is currently in Beta.
The Beta period will last at least until August 2019.
The schedule is shown below.
|Fully operational
|Fully operational
|Fully operational
|Staff-only mode
(Sun 4 Aug)
What does Beta mean?
LumiNUS Beta means that you can start using LumiNUS for your modules/classes.
Some features may still be unavailable, but LumiNUS should be stable enough for actual use.
Despite that, we ask for your patience and understanding if things do go wrong.
LumiNUS and IVLE
What happens to IVLE?
IVLE will run concurrently with LumiNUS during the LumiNUS Beta period.
However, development of IVLE will cease. IVLE development will be limited to critical security and bug fixes.
IVLE will go into staff-only mode on Sunday 4 August. At a later date, IVLE will be shut down.
It will be available for at least one academic year but probably more.
Are IVLE and LumiNUS connected?
No, IVLE and LumiNUS are not connected.
If you create a module and content in IVLE, they only exist in IVLE.
If you create a module and content in LumiNUS, they only exist in LumiNUS.
This is because they do not share a common database nor a common database structure.
Can I export my module and content from IVLE to LumiNUS?
There will be limited migration of material from IVLE to LumiNUS.
- Only the owner (not co-owner) of the IVLE module can request for migration.
- Each IVLE module can be migrated once. Subsequent re-migration requests will not be entertained.
- The module to be migrated will be created as a new module in LumiNUS.
- It will not be migrated to an existing module in LumiNUS.
- You may choose to migrate only certain tools and content within certain modules. Please refer to the table below.
- Please indicate the module and the tools in the module you wish to migrate using the online migration application form.
- Do not migrate all your IVLE modules to LumiNUS. Please do your housekeeping and only migrate the relevant ones.
- The newly migrated module needs to indicate the target academic career and term, following EduRec definitions.
- Please use the actual academic career and term for which you intend to use the module in LumiNUS.
- This is because the academic career and term cannot be changed once it is set in LumiNUS.
- Do not indicate an earlier term as a placeholder.
- Please indicate the correct module code in LumiNUS in the migration request form.
- If it's supposed to be cross-listed module in LumiNUS, please indicate. Example, if you need to migrate IVLE module "GEH1234" to LumiNUS module "GEH1234/GEK1234".
- This is because the module code cannot be changed once it is set in LumiNUS.
- Migration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Corporate modules cannot be migrated.
- Once your requested IVLE module is migrated to LumiNUS, you will receive a confirmation email to inform you of the status. Please check that the content has been migrated successfully.
Items not migrated for all tools
- Access rights for all tools will not be migrated. Please reconfigure the permissions after migration.
- All student responses and submissions will not be migrated.
- All logs and statistics will not be migrated.
|Tool / Item

|Guest accounts
IVLE Guest Accounts are local to IVLE only.
|Lesson Plan
(Learning Flow in LumiNUS)
IVLE Lesson Plan is incompatible with LumiNUS Learning Flow.
|Open Web Lectures
Not applicable due to different structure and process.
Project will be deprecated, to be replaced with a different tool.
|Research Recruitment
Past recruitment ads are not applicable.
|Resource Banks
In LumiNUS, individual items can be reused by search.
LumiNUS deals with SCORM in a different way from IVLE, so SCORM content cannot be migrated.
|You can retrieve MediaWeb files in LumiNUS, please refer to this guide: How to copy/move content from MediaWeb folder to LumiNUS.
Are there any tools in IVLE that will not be available in LumiNUS?
Guest Accounts (gst)
LumiNUS no longer issue and support guest (gst) accounts. In future, adding of non-NUS users will be via their social media account or create a new password sign up.
Below is the impact:
- Active (not expired) gstxxx accounts with non-NUS email will be migrated.
The existing password is no longer valid. Please login via the social media login which is tied to the personal email, or create a new password sign-up.
- Gstxxx accounts with NUS email will not be migrated.
Please login using your NUS credential instead.
- Multiple gstxxx accounts with the same non-NUS email addresses will not be migrated.
- When adding a non-NUS user as a student into a module, you can simply add in the personal email address. An invitation will be sent to the user. The user will need to login into LumiNUS for the first time in order to activate the account.
We will be sending emails to the affected accounts.
Note that there is no change to NUS users logging in using the NUS credentials.
Project tool will not be available in LumiNUS. It will be replaced by Class & Groups, Files, Consultation and Evaluation. Evaluation is a work in progress and will only be ready in AY 19/20 S2.
You may use TEAMMATES as an alternative: http://teammatesv4.appspot.com/ It is a free tool developed at the NUS School of Computing.
Gradebook export to IMMS
Direct export of grades from LumiNUS to IMMS is currently not available.
This feature is dependent on NUS IT to change the IMMS pages such that it can import from LumiNUS.
Direct export to IMMS should be ready by the mark entry of AY 19/20 semester 1 (after recess week - early Oct 2019).
In the meantime, you can export marks to a spreadsheet, then import the spreadsheet to IMMS.
When the integration is built, unlike the "Export to IMMS" in IVLE, there will no longer have "Export to IMMS" in LumiNUS. You can simply go to IMMS and do an import from LumiNUS.
Participation will not be available in LumiNUS as the usage was low in IVLE.
The feature in "Analytics" tab is a work in progress. You can export results to excel instead.
Course Distribution List
Faculty administrators can login into EduRec after mid Aug 2019 and send email in the course DL. For now, you can continue to use the IVLE Course DL to send email to students till 31st Jul 2019.
Year Book
Since the student roster for the past modules will be retained for 1 academic year in LumiNUS, lecturers still can email to their past students should there be a need to send assessment feedback to their students.
Questions relevant to AY 18/19 only
Why have IVLE and LumiNUS run concurrently, if they are not connected?
We want to ease academic staff into LumiNUS, so we are running both concurrently to give you time to adapt to LumiNUS.
The comfort level for a beta product will differ from person to person, so we have decided that both should be available while we polish LumiNUS up for actual launch.
Running both concurrently also allows LumiNUS to gradually deal with actual-use load.
Choosing between LumiNUS or IVLE?
We encourage you to choose either LumiNUS or IVLE for each module.
- If you record new Web Lectures (webcasts), you must use LumiNUS for Web Lectures as the Web Lecture system is only in LumiNUS. Please refer to the Web Lecture FAQ for more details.
- If you use the Project tool, it is only available in IVLE. There is no Project tool in LumiNUS. However, Evaluation tool is currently in development for LumiNUS.
- Are you co-teaching the module? Have a discussion with your co-teachers about where to host your module.
- How comfortable are you (and your students) with new technology?
- Is your tolerance of bugs low or high?
- What is your class size? If it is small, you might considering using LumiNUS.
- Is your use of IVLE mostly passive (e.g. announcements, distributing lecture material, collecting assignments) or does it involve grading (e.g. online quizzes, forum participation marks etc.)? If you use IVLE in a mostly passive manner, you may consider switching to LumiNUS.
We do not encourage you to host one module on both LumiNUS and IVLE. However, in some situations, it may be inevitable. Please read a possible scenario suggesting how to resolve these situations.
I co-teach a module with other lecturers. How should we choose between IVLE and LumiNUS?
We encourage one module to be on one platform only. We discourage setting up the module on both LumiNUS and IVLE.
How will students know if a module is on IVLE or LumiNUS?
Academic staff will have to inform students whether your module is on IVLE or LumiNUS.
This will only affect AY 18/19 as IVLE is scheduled to go into staff-only mode in AY 19/20.
Are there any tools in LumiNUS that will not be available in IVLE?
Web Lecture Recording
New Web Lectures (or webcasts) are not in IVLE as of the start of AY 18/19. New Web Lecture recording will only be available in LumiNUS.
This is because we are moving to a new Web Lecture system, which has been integrated into LumiNUS but not IVLE.
Academic staff who want to use Web Lectures should use LumiNUS for their modules.
For those use Web Lectures who are not ready to move to LumiNUS, you will need to:
- Create a module in LumiNUS and IVLE.
- Set up your module in IVLE as per normal.
- Set up your module in LumiNUS, hiding all the tools except Web Lecture.
- Apply for Web Lecture as per normal.
- In IVLE, create weblink(s) to your module's Web Lectures in LumiNUS.
That said, we encourage Web Lecture users to stick to using one platform - LumiNUS.
For more details, please visit our web lecture FAQ.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says he is opposed to politics in Justice Department decision-making and plans to stay in his post to "fix the problems," according to testimony prepared for Congress.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will tell Congress he plans to keep his post.
These statements will be delivered Tuesday at what Justice Department officials acknowledge is likely to be a stormy hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The committee, controlled by Democrats demanding Gonzales' ouster, is expected to question Gonzales about the controversial firings of eight U.S. attorneys, among other issues.
Gonzales has been accused of removing the prosecutors because of partisan concerns that they were either not doing enough to prosecute Democrats on voter fraud charges or going too far in pressing corruption charges against Republicans.
"I believe very strongly that there is no place for political considerations in the hiring of our career employees or in the administration of justice," Gonzales said in the statement released Monday. "As such, the allegations of such activity have been troubling to hear."
Gonzales will tell the committee he sees two options available to him.
"I could walk away or I could devote my time, effort and energy to fix the problems. Since I have never been one to quit, I decided that the best course of action was to remain here and fix the problems. That is exactly what I am doing," Gonzales will say.
The attorney general is unlikely to win over his critics. In the first statement issued after the testimony was released, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, said, "There are probably only two people on Earth who think the attorney general ought to stay: Alberto Gonzales and President Bush. As long as he's in charge, the Justice Department, the rule of law and America will suffer."
Last week, Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy sent Gonzales a list of 12 contentious questions he promised to ask. Leahy, D-Vermont, said by doing so, Gonzales could prepare responses instead of declining to answer questions like he did dozens of times in his appearance before the committee earlier this year.
"When you last testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on April 19, 2007, you often responded to questions from senators on both sides of the aisle that you could 'not recall,' " Leahy said in his July 17 letter to Gonzales. "I would like to avoid a repeat of that performance."
On the controversial firing of at least eight U.S. attorneys, Gonzales says only that the issue is being investigated by the inspector general, and that he is totally removed from the probe. He promised to appoint individuals with the "appropriate experience and judgment so that previous mistakes will not be repeated."
Meanwhile, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Michigan, announced Monday that his panel will meet Wednesday to vote on contempt citations for former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten for refusing to comply with subpoenas issued in the U.S. attorney investigation.

Coroner: Man beat brother to death
Body found in wooded area
Newberry County Sheriff's deputies have charged a man with murder after his brother's body was found in a wooded area in Prosperity Sunday.
Walter Tom Hawkins' body was found late Sunday morning in a wooded area off Maple Knoll Court near Highway 391.
The coroner's office said Hawkins was beat to death and died from a laceration of the brain.
Daryl Richburg, 49, was taken into custody just after noon Sunday.
Family members had reported Hawkins, 56, missing on Saturday. He was last seen Friday evening.
Investigators found blood near Hawkins' home and began a search. Police searched through the night for the two men before family members spotted Richburg in a wooded area and detained him until law enforcement officers arrived.
Authorities said the motive appears to be a domestic argument between the men, and alcohol was a factor. Richburg was being held without bond with a first appearance likely on Monday after charges are officially filed.

Newtown superintendent in line for Stratford schools chief job
NEWTOWN -- Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson, one of the most visible faces of Newtown in the wake of the Dec. 14 shootings, is poised to become superintendent in Stratford.
"If offered, I would accept it," Robinson told the New Haven Register Monday night in a phone interview from Los Angeles, where she's at an school administrators' conference.
"I look forward to the opportunity to work in a district like Stratford where there's a focus on achievement and moving the district forward," she said.
She added in an earlier interview, however, that "this is really premature.
"There has not been any vote in Stratford, " said Robinson, previously superintendent of schools in Derby. "It's not official."
Robinson's leadership in the face of extreme difficulties has won her kudos both in and out of town but it followed repeated clashes with Board of Education leaders over the course of her five-year tenure in Newtown.
Her role thus far has included testifying about gun violence before Congress.
Robinson stopped short of telling the Register that she had the Stratford job -- and the one Stratford school board member who could be contacted didn't say that either.
But the Danbury News-Times quoted Robinson as saying that the Stratford Board of Education is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to formally offer her the position.
The Newtown school board last summer voted 4-3 not to extend Robinson's current contract, although there have since been recent executive session meetings to discuss it.
Board Chairwoman Debbie Leidlein could not immediately be reached for comment.
Stratford Board of Education Secretary Andrea Veilleux would not comment on the prospect of Robinson being offered the job there, but confirmed that a special meeting has been posted for Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
Robinson left Connecticut last Thursday morning to attend the American Association of National School Administrators conference in Los Angeles.
Robinson said she was proud of the work she has done in Newtown.
"We have over a period of four years, the first four years, done some really wonderful things in terms of moving things forward...and I'm very proud of the kinds of things we've done, and we've seen the results" in terms of test score improvements, she said.
"So I feel very good about what we've achieved," Robinson said.
First Selectwoman Pat Llodra said she had been aware for some time that Stratford was interested in Robinson, but hadn't discussed it with Robinson and was never called directly by Stratford officials.
She said she would reserve judgment on what it might mean for Newtown's superintendent to leave right now because "I don't know what Dr. Robinson's intentions are...
"I would think it's a couple of months out" and "it would be premature for me to comment," Llodra said.
If Robinson is hired in Stratford, she would replace interim Superintendent Irene Cornish, who has led the Stratford district since 2009 and made $140,000 annually for the 2012-13 school year.
The Stratford school district has roughly 7,200 students.
In Newtown, Robinson oversees about 5,600 students at a salary of $196,935 per year, including tax-sheltered annuity. Her contract was set to expire June 30, 2014.
Viktoria Sundqvist, investigations editor for the Middletown Press and the Register Citizen, contributed to this story.

Innovative TempC Membrane
Highest accuracy and safety in pressure and differential pressure measurement with diaphragm seals
In processes with very high or very low temperatures, aggressive media or strong vibrations, diaphragm seals offer optimum measuring results. To measure even more precisely in such applications and to increase process safety, Endress+Hauser has developed the TempC (Temperature Compensatory) Membrane on basis of a completely novel technology. The patented TempC Membrane guarantees highest accuracy and increased process safety thanks to its new technology even in very demanding applications.
Increase your profitability and plant availability
The very low temperature effect minimizes the influence of fluctuations of both process and ambient temperatures thus guaranteeing accurate and stable measurements. Temperature-effects on the signal are reduced to a minimum.
TempC Membrane may be used in the temperature range of -40°C to +400°C. In the food and life sciences industry TempC Membrane guarantees the highest degree of process safety even for very long sterilization and cleaning cycles (CIP/SIP).
Fast membrane recovery after temperature shocks of the diaphragm permits shorter downtime in batch applications and thus a significantly higher availability of production facilities.
Thanks to the TempC Membrane, smaller dimension process connections are possible. The new diaphragm detects with a smaller process connection more accurate than conventional diaphragms with a larger diameter.
Following products are available with the innovative TempC Membrane:

7 Tips for Giving Effective Praise
Gold-star junkie that I am, I was once grumbling to my mother about the fact that some extraordinarily praiseworthy effort on my part had gone unremarked. My mother wisely responded, "Most people probably don't get the appreciation they deserve." That's right, I realized — for instance, my mother! Whom I certainly don't give enough praise for everything she does for me.
This got me thinking about the importance of praise, and how to praise effectively. The right words of praise can be so encouraging, but bland, empty praise is meaningless.
- Be specific. Vague praise doesn't make much of an impression.
- Find a way to praise sincerely and realistically. It's a rare situation where you can't identify something that you honestly find praiseworthy.
- Never offer praise and ask for a favor in the same conversation. It makes the praise seem like a set-up.
- Look for something less obvious to praise – a more obscure accomplishment or quality that a person hasn't heard praised many times before.
- Don't hesitate to praise people who get a lot of praise already. I've noticed that even people who get constant praise – or perhaps especially people who get constant praise – crave praise. Is this because praiseworthy people are often insecure? Or does getting praise lead to a need for more praise? I'm not sure, but it seems often to be the case.
- Praise people behind their backs. The praised person usually hears about the praise, and behind-the-back praise seems more sincere than face-to-face praise.
- Beware when a person asks for your honest opinion. This is often a clue that they're seeking reassurance, not candor.
Praise is gratifying to the person getting praised, of course, but it also boosts the happiness of the praiser — at least I've found that true of myself. Because the way we feel is very much influenced by the way we act, by acting in a way that shows appreciation, discernment, and thoughtfulness, we make ourselves feel more appreciative, discerning, and thoughtful. And that boosts happiness.
Have you thought of any other good ways for giving people deserved praise?
And if you're grappling with the opposite problem — of not getting enough praise yourself — check out these Five tips for dealing with feeling unappreciated. I've tried all these strategies. With mixed success.

The Congressional Budget Office warned earlier this month that the U.S. will start running $1 trillion deficits in 2020, and that the national debt will be nearly as large as the economy in a decade. A new report from the Tax Policy Center says that that as grim as those projections from the CBO may be, they may understate the case.
TPC's William Gale and Aaron Krupkin argue that in several instances, the CBO's economic and political assumptions are overly optimistic, and that more realistic scenarios produce even larger deficit projections. A more negative outlook emerges once the authors make adjustments for:
* Recession risk: The CBO assumes the economy will be at full employment on average for the next 10 years. A more realistic outlook would include the likelihood of a recession at some point, which would significantly reduce federal revenues and increase expenses, producing a larger deficit.
* 'Temporary' tax cuts: The CBO assumes that the temporary individual tax cuts will be allowed to expire after 2025, but there's a good chance that Congress will extend them, largely for political reasons. If lawmakers do extend the cuts, the debt-to-GDP ratio will reach 106.5 percent in 2028, well above the CBO's current projection of 96 percent.
* The long term: The CBO analysis stops at 2028, but the fiscal outlook gets worse beyond the 10-year window. As the deficits grow larger, the spending cuts required to bring them back to the current level relative to GDP grow larger as well. "The longer policy makers wait to institute changes, the larger those adjustments would have to be to hit a given debt target in a given year," the authors write. "Moreover, over a longer horizon, the required annual adjustments are much larger, because the projected fiscal trajectory under current policy continues to deteriorate."

When I first moved to N7 five years ago, I was a reluctant N7 naysayer. Firstly we hadn't found the DREAMY Victorian/Georgian garden flat, which I initially had in mind and was cursing the cold box-esque industrial space, which we ended up taking just to prevent me and Steve from having another moving-induced squabble. Secondly, having grown up in North London, I knew Holloway Road as kebab mile – a long-ass road of countless kebab and fried chicken shops, which would have been fine had they actually sold kebabs and fried chicken of any merit. Five years down the line and I'm hanging on the coat tails of N7; clutching on to the convenience of having the Piccadilly AND the Victoria line right by me, soaking up every roar of a goal coming from Arsenal Emirates stadium and breathing in that inevitable smell of burnt sausages and Chinese food on match days. I do heart N7 for its out-of-fashion locale and its not-quite-cool-as-East and but not-quite-posh-as-North positioning.
I will be completing a summer move over to the murky depths of Clapton soon. Or so says my solicitor, who I'm stalking every day incessantly. I am ending my renting days and moving on to the odious thing that is the "property ladder". It's probable that it isn't in fact a move up but a step sideways into another bit of treacherous financial territory but I'm excited nonetheless. Therefore, as a final tribute to N7, which has had to put up with so many impromptu shoots for the blog (Grazia, Elle, Vogue, numerous Japanese/Korean/Chinese magazines – sorry you guys had to slum it momentarily in my hovel), why I thought I'd take part in another shoot just to annoy the hell out of the normal folk around here!
Louis Vuitton asked me to show them around my gaff on one of their Amble tours. The Amble also coincides with the 80th anniversary of their No√© bag, probably the most "me" out of the Louis Vuitton iconic bags because of its casual drawstring bucket shape, ability to stuff loadsa things in and the fact that it looks like it could take a proper bashing. Oh, and it was originally created in 1932 to tote around five bottles of champagne. The No√© has been downsized into a Petit size and comes in a ton of delicious coloured Epi leather as well as the usual Damier and Monogram. Along the way I mixed up Louis Vuitton's now mucho-recognisable S/S 13 collection, some of their cruise stuff and a few bits of my own clothing to amble around the N7/N5/N1 area. Should you ever find yourself up in this hood (Did you stay too long on the bus? Did you get off the wrong tube stop? Are you in fact looking for the Best Kebab in London?), here's a rundown of my favourite local spots…
Arsenal Emirates Stadium – When I was at uni, to fund my fashion habit, I took up silver service waitressing at various football clubs with the old Arsenal Highbury ground being my preferred spot. It was an awesome time to breathe in Arsenal air. The team were literally invincible. I served Thierry Henry a drink. In my head, he may have said "Va-va-voom." Life was good. Now we're collectively breathing sighs of relief when we scrape fourth place and grasping for greatness but still, I have loved soaking that tension up, whilst being a stone's throw away from the stadium. You can hear the goals before they come on TV and I really heart the dude who sells Arsenal merchandise outside my flat. "What funny outfit are you wearing today?" he asks. I give him a twirl and ask him what's the score and then attempt to hold a convo about footie. It's positively ace and I will get strange yearnings to sniff that match day burger van stench when I move away.
Assiette Anglaise – It's a sign of middle class malaise when you get properly excited at the news of a vaguely upmarket restaurant/bistro opening in your area. Steve and I were so eager to try Assiette Angalise when it opened about a year ago that we got in there during opening week. It's a lovely all-day spot for brekkie, lunch and dinner and if you care about this sort of guff, the head chef cut his teeth at Petrus and Racine so that gets even more middle-class thumbs up. Did chortle at the fact that a very French Louis Vuitton team came over to shoot my area and we found ourselves in a very French bistro.
Highbury Fields – I'm the sort of person that really appreciates green spaces but within the safety net of an urban surrounding. For instance it was awesome to go hang out up in Hampstead Heath and find a spot to drink cider and listen to Placebo on minidisc after school but also amazing to be able to get the tube down to Camden in fifteen minutes, for a proper night out. Highbury Fields is a much smaller bit of green space, but ever so pretty when you look at the swish houses surrounding this semi-circular patch. When I was training for the half marathon, this was where I went to feel extra bad about myself when I looked at all the other super-fit health-conscious people, which Highbury invariably has in abundance.
Le P√©ch√© Mignon – Ah….Le P√©ch√©! This is probably my most frequented spot out of the list here. It might be in N5 as opposed to N7 but it's literally a block away from my flat and so over the years, Steve and I have collectively splurged a princely fortune on flat whites, toasted salami and artichoke sandwiches and croissaints here. The staff are super friendly, there's always a good selection of weekend newspapers and in the summer it's nice to sit in the back garden bit. Again, the Frenchy Louis Vuitton crew were impressed by the fact that they had an authentic selection of French biscuits and confectionary available to buy. Whilst there's a burgeoning army of coffee shops opening up in Clapton, it will be hard to find a real equal to Le P√©ch√©. I'll be coming back for old time's sake.
Estorick Collection – So apparently Emma Watson lives somewhere on Canonbury Square where Estorick Collection is. That's the little fact I learnt on the day we did this shoot. Lucky her as she's a hop and a skip away from this bijoux gallery with a fairly substantial Futurist collection of works. I saw a really great Missoni exhibition here once, which is how I found it and have always appreciated the fact that there is this veritable culture spot on the fringes of Kebab Mile.
The Pig and Butcher – Ok, so this is technically in Angel, which of course is more well-known for its chi-chi delights but because it's on Liverpool Road which is still walking distance from my house, I had to include it only because it's probably my nearest, most delish gastropub. It's fairly new and has been making a name for its decent grub. It's very important to know where in my vicinity I can immediately get my feeding of a wide range of meaty dishes, which the Pig and Butcher does very well.
The Louis Vuitton Amble also included some of the other spots where I didn't swan around wearing Louis Vuitton in…
Shop 162 Vintage – I'm slightly petrified of the lady who mans this ramshackle vintage shop because she always scowls at you if you peruse and don't buy. But again, I do love that this place exists in between the Nigerian night club and the betting shop. The stuff is of the smelly student vintage ilk but I've found some really cute printed dresses and varsity jackets here.
Ooh-La-La – In addition to having an abundance of kebab shops, the Highbury end of Holloway Road does seem to excel in vintage furniture stores and Ooh La La is my favourite for being the most competiviely priced and having the most varied selection. We went on mini-sprees here when we first moved to Holloway and then quickly had to resist going, as we had run out of square footage for furniture. I'll be back here to peruse when I get a whole new set of square feet space to play around with.
Gill Wing Cook Shop – I LOVE cookware shops. I harbour a very serious fascination with looking at the sheer range of kitchenware that's out there. I may have zero need for a melon baller, a Japanese mandoline or a teensy tiny and insanely expensive Le Creuset pot but I sure love looking at them. If Gill Wing doesn't have something, it probably isn't worth having in the kitchen at all, because it's definitely one of the best kitchen spots I've been to and has saved me on many a cooking occasion.
Piebury Corner – I thought I'd end with another Gooner-related spot and whilst this sheeny shiny store is a fairly new addition to Holloway Road, it is rooted to a famed street stall, which serves up pies to footie fans on match days. If you're a Gooner, you'll appreciate the excellent names of the pies – hows about a Dennis Bergcamp (chicken and leek) or a Thierry Henry (venison and red wine) pie? If you're just into pies period, they apparently scored an impressive 6.5 out of 7 on the Pierate website. Oh, and their scotch eggs are pretty good too.

One of the easiest traps to fall into when thinking about teens is to think back to your own teen years for guidance or inspiration. Those halcyon days of yesteryear may be wonderful to reflect on and reminisce about with friends but, trust me, they aren't going to help you understand the current crop of teens. Why? Because the teen experience changes all the time.
In some ways things have stopped changing as much as they used to. When I was a kid I couldn't really identify with my parents' taste in clothes or music or pop culture. My own teen children don't seem that different to where I was 30 years ago. (Damn, damn, damn, I just did it myself!) The truth is, they experience things very differently than I did at their age and to forget that is to risk doing really stupid things.
There are some very obvious things that have changed from one generation to the next. Technology, clearly, has changed a lot. Mobile, which has completely redefined our world, is less than a decade old. The Internet as a popular medium is less than 25 years old. Tech will continue to race ahead but think about other some of the other, more subtle changes. The media mix, for example, or going to the movies, or getting together with friends. All of these things have changed in ways that reframe the teen experience.
To try to a list of all the ways things have changed would be impossible so collected a handful of representative examples. It's difficult to find exact apples-to-apples comparisons, so many of the stats included below should be viewed as directional. They illustrate broad changes in trends over time. Despite this, I think you'll get the point.
- Driving The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that, in 1996, 85% of high school seniors had their driver's license. According to AAA, in 2014, only 54% of teens get their license by the time they are 18. The freedom of the open road just isn't what it was. In part, the drop in driving rates is attributed to the recession; but many teens also report not needing to drive.
- Summer employment In 1994, almost 55% of teens had summer jobs. Today that number is just under 35%. That's a pretty big drop and one that impacts not only teen income but also the amount of idle time available to kids, and you know what they say about idle hands …
- Marijuana use In 1996, the National Institute of Drug Abuse reported that 49.6% of high school seniors had used marijuana. In 2013, 41.3% of all high school students reported having smoked marijuana. This gradual decline is seen in virtually all substance categories. Cigarette smoking, for example, was reported by 65% of high school seniors in 1996 but by 2013 only 41% of high school students had ever even tried a cigarette.
- Sex In 1996, a Kaiser Family Foundation survey found 29% of kids between 12 and 18 reported having had sex. Research by the Department of Health and Human Services conducted in 2013 found that 47% of high school students reported having had sex. That's a pretty sharp increase; however, teen pregnancies are down.
These changes, occurring over the span of 20 years or more, make it critical to remove your memories from the way you think about teens. Asking teens directly may net some useful insights but perhaps the most effective approach for understanding teens is to observe and engage with them in their natural habitats. I've written about gaming connecting with teens through gaming communities and music in the past. These indirect routes may offer a clearer window into the lives of teens in a time of change.
