Title: California School-within-a-School Would Teach Students from China
Body: From http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/dec/05/sweetwater-looks-to-china-to-develop-school Sweetwater mulls Chinese student program by Karen Kucher December 5, 2011 The Sweetwater Union High School District is pursuing a plan to bring hundreds of Chinese students to study at a middle school and high school campus in an ambitious program that could be launched as early as next school year. Superintendent Ed Brand recently met with an education official from China’s Guangdong Province who had expressed interest in bringing students to the United States to live and study. Brand said the district would like to create a “school within a school” at Southwest Middle School and Sweetwater High School and would pursue between $9,000 to $10,000 per student in fees with the intent of having the project pay for itself. He sees educational benefits and future opportunities coming from such a program, including having his students become familiar with China and establishing relationships that could lead to future job opportunities.

Title: NPR Story: Krampus in the United States
Body: From http://www.npr.org/2011/12/10/143485735/naughty-or-nice-krampus-horror-for-the-holidays?sc=fb&cc=fp Horror For The Holidays: Meet The Anti-Santa by Peter Crimmins December 10, 2011 The Krampus is a character from European Alpine folklore, common in Austria and Switzerland. The creature stands on two hooves and has horns growing out of its skull. An extremely long tongue hangs out of its mouth, and it carries a basket to haul away naughty children. For hundreds of years, the Krampus and Saint Nicholas have worked a kind of good cop-bad cop routine. Saint Nick rewards the good children; Krampus terrorizes the bad. Around the country, there are Krampus parties and club nights in December, where people dress in leftover Halloween costumes to drink and dance. Janet Finegar is helping to organize a traditional Krampuslauf: a procession of people dressed as Krampus, walking through the streets with noisemakers. Krampus parades are rare in the United Sates. Last year, Joseph Ragan organized one in Portland, Ore., as a reaction to the way Christmas dominates the winter season. Read the full article and listen to the audio feature at http://www.npr.org/2011/12/10/143485735/naughty-or-nice-krampus-horror-for-the-holidays?sc=fb&cc=fp There is also a video clip at the end of the article of many Krampuses in Graz, Austria.
