NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel, an acclaimed chronicler of wars, revolutions and political transitions in the Middle East over the past 15 years, will deliver the keynote address to the Class of 2013 at Fordham University's 168th Commencement on Saturday, May 18 at the Rose Hill campus.
Widely considered one of the nation's top foreign correspondents, Engel has covered the entire war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah conflict, the uprisings in Egypt and Libya, and the current conflict in Syria, where he and his production team were kidnapped for five days in December. His many honors include five News and Documentary Emmy Awards, the Edward R. Murrow Award, and the Medill Medal for Courage in Journalism, given for his broadcast report, "War Zone Diary." He is the author of two books,
A Fist in the Hornet's Nest
(Hyperion, 2004), and a follow-up,
War Journal: My Five Years in Iraq
(Simon & Schuster, 2011).
"Richard Engel is the model of what a commencement speaker should be," said Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham. "He is highly accomplished, engaged with the world's great events, and well able to convey his experiences and insights to our students, their families, and our faculty. We very much look forward to his address on 18 May."
See Complete Details on Commencement 2013 Here.
Engel joined NBC News in 2003 and served as primary Iraq correspondent, senior Middle East correspondent, and Beirut bureau chief before becoming chief foreign correspondent in 2008. His reports have appeared on many of the network's programs including
Today, Meet the Press, Rock Center with Brian Williams,
NBC Nightly News.
He has written articles for
USA Today
, Reuters, AFP, and
Jane's Defense Weekly
Engel moved to the Middle East after graduating from Stanford University in 1996 with a bachelor's degree in international relations. He became fluent in Arabic while living in Cairo, and easily shifts among several Arab dialects. From 2001 to 2003, he was Middle East correspondent for "The World," a joint production of BBC World Service, Public Radio International and WGBH-Boston radio, and he also worked as a freelance journalist for ABC News during the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Engel's appearance will be a return visit to the University. In May 2012 he appeared at Fordham Law School's Center on National Security for a dialogue with CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen about Bergen's book on the successful hunt for Osama bin Laden.
Engel will be the second consecutive high-profile expert on the Middle East to deliver the University's commencement address. Last year's graduating seniors heard from John Brennan, FCRH '77, President Obama's deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism and homeland security at the time, who has since become director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Engel's colleague Brian Williams, anchor of NBC Nightly News, was Fordham's commencement speaker in 2011.

- Yu, Aimin
- Abstract
- Nanostructured composite films of multiwalled carbon nanotube/polypyrrole (MWCNT/PPy) were prepared, and their potential as potentiometric biosensors was studied. MWCNT and PPy were alternately assembled on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes via a solution-based layer-by-layer self-assembly technique, which provided a good matrix for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The resulting MWCNT/PPy/ HRP composite films exhibited excellent potentiometric response to hydrogen peroxide while the thickness and composition of the multilayer were found to affect the performance of the biosensor.

STMicroelectronics First to Simplify Complex Multimedia Routing with New DisplayPort 1.2 Device
Delivers complete cross-conversion flexibility for multi-format, multi-display applications
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and a top player in ICs for home multimedia, today added the STDP43 series of products to its innovative DisplayPort portfolio. These Systems-on-Chips (SoCs) are the world's first high-speed active-protocol bi-directional media-routing devices that manage audio and video data from various sources and send this data to multiple displays. The devices support DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4, the latest versions of the two most common digital-display interface technologies used in computer and consumer electronics. The STDP43 SoCs are catalytic in the rapidly expanding markets for next-generation digital signage, universal docking stations and video hubs required by the new generation of notebooks and PCs based on the latest Intel and AMD CPUs that support the multi-stream features of DisplayPort 1.2.
The STDP43 series offers powerful routing logic for managing today's complex display options, such as in data centers, video-walls, and control centers, where content sharing to multiple displays is a critical requirement. Using dual-mode receivers and transmitters in various configurations, ST's new SoCs can split, combine, route and convert DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 signals into full HD on multiple daisy-chained displays with color depth up to 48 bits per pixel, or into 4Kx2K (4096x2160p = 4 times Full HD) on a single display.
"The STDP43 SoC adds a very versatile product to ST's strong mix of DisplayPort 1.2 solutions," said Todd Meany, General Manager of ST's Display Product Division (DPD). "Laptop and display designers are cheering ST's media-routing concept that allows for more flexibility and faster implementation of complex media functionality from docking stations and media hubs. In addition, multimedia data centers now have more options to expand their designs by taking full advantage of the multi-stream feature."
The STDP43 series' industry firsts include:
- First single-chip solution to combine two DisplayPort or HDMI streams into a DisplayPort 1.2 MST (Multi-Stream) output.
- First to convert DisplayPort 1.2 MST signal into two DisplayPort or HDMI outputs.
- First to transport up to 8 A/V streams on a single connector/cable from one device to another.
- First discrete DisplayPort receiver with DisplayPort GTC (Global Time Code) feature for Audio inter-channel synchronization.
Other important features and benefits include:
- Total link bandwidth of 21.6 Gbps that supports largest format displays and all 3D formats, up to 4K2K 60Hz / 3D Full HD 120Hz video & 7.1 Ch audio
- Supports video splitting up to 4K2K; a single STDP43 SoC can drive two 4K2K displays. Cascading of multiple STDP43 devices allows driving multiple 4K2K displays.
- Supports Mobility DisplayPort (MyDP) feature; able to receive and display MyDP signal from smart phones and tablets via passive cable.
ST's STDP43 series devices – the Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1.2 splitter (STDP4320) and the Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1.2 concentrator (STDP4328) - are sampling now, with mass production scheduled for Q2 2013.

(SportsNetwork.com) - You'll forgive the San Antonio Spurs if they haven't
completely put the heartache of last season's NBA Finals, specifically Game 6,
behind them.
It was on that night, when San Antonio could've clinched its fifth NBA
championship since 1999, Ray Allen of the Miami Heat hit a crazy, off-balance
corner three-pointer that sent the game into overtime.
Miami prevailed in the extra session of Game 6, outlasted the Spurs in Game 7
and walked off with back-to-back titles.
The Spurs were a measly five seconds away from a title. A desperation shot
crushed the hopes of San Antonio.
"Suffice it to say, I've thought about it every day," admitted head coach
Gregg Popovich, speaking more than three months after the shot. "I'm wondering
if it'll go away. I'm anxious for it to happen, but it hasn't happened yet."
That just shows how devastating such a loss can be that a hard-nosed, Air
Force academy graduate like Popovich hasn't let go of the loss.
Others have.
"I don't dwell on it every day," said Tim Duncan. "Obviously it's painful, the
whole end of that series is painful, but I try not to dwell on that daily."
Luckily the Spurs are the most veteran, battle-tested franchise in the NBA. If
a team can respond from the heartbreak of what happened in June, it's the
Their nucleus, while another year older, remains intact.
Duncan enjoyed a career rejuvenation last season and returned to the first
team All-NBA. Tony Parker was heading to serious MVP consideration until an
injury derailed his campaign late in the regular season.
Kawhi Leonard looks like a superstar in the making. Danny Green hit three-
pointers at a historic clip in the Finals.
The Spurs are still the elite of the Western Conference and the NBA.
2012-13 Results: 58-24, first in Southwest; lost in NBA Finals to Miami
ADDITIONS: G/F Marco Belinelli
PG- Tony Parker
SG- Danny Green
SF- Kawhi Leonard
PF- Tim Duncan
C- Tiago Splitter
KEY RESERVES: G Manu Ginobili, G/F Marco Belinelli, C Boris Diaw, G Patty
Mills, G Cory Joseph, F Matt Bonner, C Aaron Baynes, G Nando de Colo
FRONTCOURT: Duncan was a revelation last season. After dropping some weight in
the offseason, and playing fewer games (69) in the regular season, The Big
Fundamental averaged 17.8 ppg, 9.9 rpg and 2.7 bpg, which was his highest
block average since the 2003-04 season. He said at Spurs media day he took
almost a month off after the Finals setback and continued rest through the
season will help.
Leonard really emerged during the Finals. He averaged 14.5 ppg and 11.1 rpg
and had the task of trying to stop LeBron James. Leonard registered four
double-doubles, including big games in the final two. Leonard's role in the
offense could be expanded this season and his coach believes he's ready to
take a gigantic step.
"I think Kawhi is the new Parker, Ginobili, Duncan kind of guy. He's going to
take over as the star of the show as time goes on," Pop said.
Splitter's numbers went up across the board last season (except for field-goal
percentage) thanks to increased minutes. His reward was a four-year, $36
million contract, which is high, but the cost of doing business.
BACKCOURT: Parker continued to be the most unheralded true superstar in the
NBA. He posted marks of 20.3 ppg, 7.6 apg and shot a ridiculous 52 percent
from the field. While no one on earth was going to stop James from the MVP,
Parker had a legitimate claim for consideration. He injured his ankle in March
and missed time. During the offseason, the Frenchman played a lot of
international games and a tweaked knee in August was cause for concern.
Green set a Finals record with 28 made three-pointers. It was no fluke as
Green averaged 10.5 ppg last season and hit on 42 percent from beyond the arc.
He's also a plus-defender, so Green is a fixture in the Spurs backcourt.
BENCH: Ginobili is still the key to this unit and he has to atone for his poor
play in the postseason. He only managed 11.5 ppg during the Finals, but he got
a two-year contract out of it. Ginobili's numbers have declined the last two
seasons as age and a lot of tread in the tires are catching up.
Belinelli was brought in to bolster the bench. He's a good scorer, versatile
combo player and above-average three-point shooter. Popovich seems impressed
Diaw is another multi-dimensional guy that Pop loves. Bonner is a great
shooter and players like Baynes, Mills, de Colo and Joseph will receive larger
roles with Gary Neal and DeJuan Blair elsewhere.
Sam Young is a natural small forward and could spell Leonard.
COACHING: Popovich is a two-time Coach of the Year and finished fourth in
voting last season. He is a Hall of Famer in waiting and is the best in the
This season will be a little challenging for Popovich. He lost long-time lead
assistant Mike Budenholzer, who took the Atlanta Hawks head position, and
another long-time coach, Brett Brown, who will helm the sinking ship known as
the Philadelphia 76ers.
Lucky for Popovich, he has such a veteran-laden squad he can help his new
assistants integrate themselves into the San Antonio way.
OUTLOOK: The Spurs are the best-equipped team in the league to overcome the
brutal, soul-crushing setback that was last season's Finals. Pop and crew
could even use it as motivation.
"We're going to let it fester for a little while," said Duncan. "We're going
to continue to think about it."
The team is relatively healthy and Pop is the best in the sport, especially at
giving his core guys the rest they need for the long grind. His bench is
thinner than years past, which will mean Green and Leonard could see major
San Antonio had the second-best record in the Western Conference last season.
The Spurs held first a good chunk of the way before the Oklahoma City Thunder
trumped them.
With Russell Westbrook out for four-six weeks of the regular season, the Spurs
should probably finish atop the conference. Another trip to the Finals is very
possible and a fifth title is well within reach.
There aren't many teams that can boast the claim as legitimate NBA
Championship material. The Spurs are one of them.

The Mafia Sentinel is a gang version of the Sentinel used by the Leone Family in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It accelerates fast and has tight handling, and thus is ideal for street racing. In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the vehicle is named the Leone Sentinel, the name also exists in the GTA III beta.
The Mafia Sentinel is evidently a four-door sedan based on the games' renditions of the Sentinel, resembling a real-life late-1990s BMW 3-series, but this car was closely resembling 1990-1995 BMW M5. the Mafia Sentinel is also related to the sporty Sentinel XS variants in later games. It is essentially a tuned version of the Sentinel, with a bodykit, tinted windows, and blinds over the rear window. Its paintjob is always dark gray in GTA III and black in GTA Liberty City Stories, and cannot be resprayed into any other color in a Pay 'n' Spray. In the strategy guide for GTA III, pictures of a white Leone Sentinel can be seen. In the GTA III mission Give Me Liberty, there is a blue blown-up Mafia Sentinel from the GTA III beta. The car also have a different horn than its stock counterpart.
Like any gang car, attempts to steal one with a Leone Family member inside will result in surrounding peers hostile to the player.
Handling is slightly sharpened, whilst average speed is noticeably quicker over its stock counterpart. Its performance coupled with its four occupant capacity makes this an ideal car for bank jobs, street racing and attacks on rival gangs. The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition has a supercharged V8 engine and emits a same engine noise as the Sentinel XS and the Windsor. Furthermore, both renditions are all-wheel drive, in contrast to the real-life BMW M5/E36, which both is rear-wheel drive.
- Two outside Salvatore's Mansion, just northeast of Saint Mark's, Portland Island
- In an alleyway opposite the Mafia rampage, central Saint Mark's, Portland Island
- Driven around by the Mafia in Saint Mark's, though extremely difficult to obtain after Sayonara Salvatore is completed, because the Leones become hostile to the player, however, some Mafia Sentinels can be seldom see around the borders between Saint Mark's and Chinatown.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Ma Cipriani's house in Saint Mark's, Portland Island.
- Outside Salvatore's Mansion, just northwest of Saint Mark's, Portland Island (usually beside a PCJ-600).
- Car park outside Marco's Bistro in Saint Mark's, Portland Island.
- In the mission A Volatile Situation, two of the vehicle can be seen behind the casino in Saint Mark's, Portland Island.
- Driven around Saint Mark's.
- After finishing Sayonara Salvatore the only safe way to get a Mafia Sentinel is to drive at the beach behind Salvatore's Gentlemens Club (from Portland Docks) then climb the top of the hill then you will see two of them parked in front. To obtain it, drive down the hill and away on the beach.
- It's strange that in GTA III the car has a turbocharged V6 engine, but in GTA Liberty City Stories it has a supercharged V8 engine, despite Liberty City Stories passing in 1998 and III in 2001. This is due the fact that LCS is newer than III.
- It has been speculated that the Mafia Sentinel in LCS was meant to have a hood-mounted supercharger (kind of like Diablo Stallion), but it was cut, considering it is not a muscle/tuner car.

Senate Committee Approves Funding for Mental Illness Research and Services Program
This past week Congress began action on spending legislation for mental illness research and services for the coming federal fiscal year that will begin on October 1. The massive $136.7 billion FY 2003 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill (S2766) includes important increases for mental illness research and services programs, including the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). The bill reported by the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 18 would allocate $5.8 billion more than President Bush requested - a 7% increase over current year totals. The House has not begun work on its version of the Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill and not expected to until after the coming August recess.
For programs of concern to NAMI - at both NIMH and CMHS - there are important increases in the Senate bill. For biomedical research, the bill includes a $3.7 billion increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - completing the five-year bipartisan effort to double the NIH budget began in 1998 (bringing the FY 2003 budget for NIH up to $27 billion). For CMHS, the Senate holds most programs at their current level and accepts the President's request for a $7 million increase for PATH. A separate appropriations bill that covers funding for the U.S. Justice Department includes an additional $3 million in funding for the Mental Health Courts program.
As Congress moves forward on the FY 2003 spending bill, NAMI will be pressing members of the House Appropriations Committee and the Bush Administration on a number of key funding priorities for research and services programs. Specifically, NAMI will be asking that the final version of the Labor-HHS Appropriations bill includes:
More details on research and services programs of concern to NAMI can be found by viewing NAMI's testimony to the House Appropriations Committee on the FY 2003 Labor-HHS-Education bill.
As was noted above, the Senate bill contains an overall increase for NIH of $3.7 billion, up to $27 billion, a 13.8% increase. As noted above, this increase would complete the five-year effort to double the NIH budget. At the same time, the increase recommended for NIMH is below the average increase for the NIH as a whole. Specifically, the Senate bill recommends $1.359 billion for NIMH, $111 million more than current funding or a 7.8% increase. This is the same amount recommended by President Bush in his FY 2003 budget proposal.
The Senate Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill proposes to increase overall funding for the Center for Mental Health Services (part of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, SAMHSA) by $12 million in FY 2003. Below is a summary of funding levels for selected programs of concern to children and adults with severe mental illnesses and their families:
Senate Bill Adds $3 Million for Mental Health Courts Program at the Justice Department
On July 18, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved separate legislation that includes the FY 2003 budget for the U.S. Department of Justice. This legislation - known as the Commerce-Justice-State Appropriations bill - must be passed by the first day of the new federal fiscal year that begins on October 1. Included in the Senate Commerce-Justice-State Appropriations bill is $3 million in funding for the federal Mental Health Courts program. If enacted, this $3 million appropriation would be on top of $4 million Congress approved in FY 2002. NAMI advocates are still awaiting an announcement of funding availability from the Justice Department on the Mental Courts program.
NAMI strongly believes that the Mental Health Courts program should be fully funded at the $10 million level authorized by Congress. For more information, see NAMI's testimony in favor of additional funding for the federal Mental Health Court program.

As a little girl I was very musical—I sang as soon as I could talk, maybe even before I could talk—and the first things I heard were the records that my mother would play for me that she was able to slowly smuggle out of Cuba. My grandma would send us an album every time she mailed us a box of mango baby food, which was the only thing I would eat and something they didn't sell in the States. That's my first memory of hearing Celia Cruz.
My mom had all of her records, so when I was three or four years old I was always hearing Celia Cruz around my house. My mom also sang really beautifully—she still does, actually—and she'd be singing along to these songs. Celia was a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Then, when I was about 19 or 20 years old, Miami Sound Machine had a big hit in Latin America. We were playing in Costa Rica and it turned out that Celia was also there. We'd never met before, but she'd heard about the success we were having and she knew we were Cuban, so she sent us flowers to our hotel. There was this lovely note saying congratulations and how nice it was to see some fellow Cubans having success and that she wished us all the best. We just couldn't believe it. Celia Cruz! In fact, we still have the note to this day—Emilio saved it. We just thought it was so incredibly kind. I mean, she was this incredible superstar and we were just kids, you know?
The next time I saw her was at a tribute show where she was being honored. I was shaking I was so nervous. I said that I wanted to dedicate our performance to my idol, Celia Cruz, and she came out onstage and sang with me. It was an unbelievable moment for me. From then on we were dear friends. Whenever there was an opportunity for us to see each other, we did. We would often cross paths in strange cities all over the world when we were both on tour. Eventually Emilio worked on her first-ever music video, for a song called "Sazón." She was the kind of person who never forgot a birthday or an anniversary, you always got a handwritten card from her. She was just one of the most giving human beings I've ever known, so humble and wonderful. I remember being backstage with her at the Grammys and she was having some health problems at that point and starting to get sick. She really didn't feel well, but as soon as she stepped out on that stage she just came to life. No one had any idea. She was just the consummate professional. She adored her fans and was incredibly disciplined and responsible. I think she was sorry that she and her husband, Pedro Knight—who she used to call "old cotton-ball head"—never had children, but they were incredibly committed to each other. She was honestly just one of the most amazing human beings that I've ever met.
She was a symbol. She represented everything that was beautiful about the Cuban woman. She was optimistic and strong. She lived and breathed music. She was also an incredible humanitarian. Cuban women couldn't really ask for a better representative. She was such an inspiration to me my whole life—and throughout her entire life. She was ageless. You didn't look up on that stage and say "Oh my God, what's that 78-year-old woman doing up there on that stage?" You looked up there and said "Oh my God, that's Celia Cruz! And she's just as amazing now as she's ever been." I mean, she was having huge dance hits right up until her late 70s. She'll go down in history as being one of the most iconic Cuban women ever.
I remember being in Holland just after we'd had our first hit there, in 1984—a song called "Dr. Beat"—and Celia's music was playing on Dutch radio. Even then she was an icon all over the world. She wrote so many great songs about Cuba, which always filled me and my parents with nostalgia. You know, any time Celia played shows, everyone came, but for Cuban people, seeing Celia Cruz—or even just listening to her—was like going home. AS TOLD TO T. COLE RACHEL

Dear pofessor mcgonagall
I had a wonderful time on the fieldtrip in which I learned so many new things. In this letter I am going to name a few things that I have learned.
First let me start of by the water treatment plant. I did not know that there are so many steps they have to take to clean the water. New words like floc, chemicals, impurities, backwash and filter are just a few of the new words that I have learned.
Then we went to the waste water treatment plant. I never thought that I will go to a place like this in my life and to find it interesting as well. They need to remove harmful solids from the water and then put the water thru several treatments before it is discharged into the Bay. I don't mind learning of all the processes but one thing I disliked the most is smell.
Learning things on a field trip are always fun but a day out on a field trip is not complete without a delicious lunch.

On 10-26-08, i had an adventure. In a place i went many times, But found new spots there. It was a park. I went there with my sister threw out secret passage. But i can't tell you where it is. TOP SECRET! Any way, my sister brought her beanie baby. It was a duck. It was one of those new beanie baby 2.0s. We have a bunch of those. That was the one she got the day before. We went to the park and where all alone. My sister went straight to playing and i stoped. I remembered my mom had wanted something from the tree. Long story, but i found aa sopt on one of the Oak tress that had some in a low spot. Or the lowest it got. I got a large stick and wacked it a few times. Then i got 2 nice big ones. Then i followed my sister. I also ate bunchs of black berries.So many things had changed there. A tree had fallen at one of the passages. And part of the golf net rope and riped much and was dangling. I took that large stick with me. I went to the passage where the tree had finaly fallen. it had been pretty choped up my beavers and had a beaver not chewy net around it. I passed the tree and hung above the creek. swishing the stick in the lush crystal clear water. It makes my so thirsy right now. And it made such a wonderful sound in the water. Then i let my stick go in the lush water. The end!

Hi peoples! Guess where i have been wesday the 23???????? At a water place! But, i just have to glowt on the bus. A totaly awsome Shuttle bus. With,... a built in bathroom with a window for only for the ones inside, On the second one an arm rest in the middle beacuse they were two person seats, optaioal outder armrests, recliners, tvs, and much much more!!!!!!!!! My clss wodre tye-dye that day.I met Sprinkle and Ms. Drizzle, Not Frizzle. They are related. Let me say Sprinkle's theme song: I'm Sprinkle, the water drop, i'm always moving, i never stop. (she said where we where going) Our first stop was the lake. We brought our water booklets. We had to draw what we saw. It was dogs of leash time. I drew dogs. :) There was also a tactor spewing seeds ebvery where. I drew that and the dust storm it was making. I bet i drew for dust than there was. :) I drew a bunch of other things. I drew a blue thing I saw across the lake. But, We used plain old pencils. So it didn't look the same. Then we went to a screen house neer lake Whatcom. I was sad we went past Lafeen's daughtnut shop. :( But i had a good lunch. :) I'm going right to the good part. THE FILTER GALLERY. AS room of six filters. 2 sides. All the ones on the right off but the top right one. All the ones on the left were on. We watched the left top one, The filter is split in 4 secstions. Bottom left and right, top left and right, and the middle. The water was at the top bar. Then it slowley became less water. It looked like there was that wet cat fodd in it! The same shade of color too! ewe! Then on the top and bottom left, to things that looked liek octopus arms came out and started spining on the bottom. it spun the scum on the top all around. then, I think the spinning stoped, AndRose and rose again to the top bar, it bubbled and made loud noises, Ms. Drizzle counted to three, Then the top and bottom right parts had water flooding our of some holes to the middle! After that, when we we leaving, after the pouring water stoped intop the middle, the arms in the other half started moving! Then we did a game filter thigey, and went to the waste water treatment plant ater lunch. The worst part was every one freaked out of the smell. The smell didn't botehr my nose, but my chest. After i got a wif of the smell, that was bad, then fine! My favourite part was, going to these parts moving the big stuff the toilet paper out of it. There was a colletion of toys around a pole! Like play dough molds, and Jazmin the disney Princess, and much more. That was my fav part! We also saw a really deep hole that ick water was in! I didn't know how deep it was until I saw an empty one! I htought it was only has deep as the wall on the oit side! Then the bus broke down and we had to wait for another one so we played chain up tag and Bob the wesel.
Your ing tree climbing and swimming freind,

Our fieldtrip to the water treatment plant.
My favorite part was when we saw all the bad water drain out of the filter it looked like a flood. I was surprised when I saw how many pipes and filters the water had to go in or through. My least favorite part was the smell of waste at the waste water treatment it smelt horrid I felt like my eyes were going to pop out and my nose was going to fall off, and when we saw the scraper scrape all the waste off the screen. I learned that water goes through a lot of things and there is no new water. It was pretty cool seeing the bacteria up close to 400 times zoomed in that was really cool except knowing that that used to crawl in the water we drink ew. So if you ever want to know where we get new water well we don't.

On October 22, 2008 me and my class went to go to the water treatment plant. On the way there we were on a airport shuttle. The thing that suprised me was the things that harms all the watershed: animal poop, moters, oils, gas spills, litter ,ect. My new learing is how to take care of my watershed. My favorite prat was when we got to go on the buses and sing, and play the the games at the end of the day, and got to go to the water treatment plant and got to see how the water gets clean. My last favoite part was I got to see Drizzle and sprinkle. The worst part was we had to smell a gross smell . i also liked it when we got to see people poop on fire. We also got to know what different color pipes carry different things. For example, the dark blue means that it has the clean water, the light blue carries almost clean water, the biege color means the water in it is dirty.

Today my class and I went to the Water Teatment Plant on a field trip. What surprised me so much was that I saw the guy from the movie, how bad the place smelled and how much water they had a dog park. Something that I learned was that they had 6 huge squares that they put water in. My favorite part was when I saw the duck from the movie and when Ronaldinho and I kicked Shadowking and Max's seats on the bus. I hope you read my blog.

Our class went to the water treatment plant and the waste water treatment plant. The waste water smelled terrible, as assumed. We learned that the process starts with glaciers and rain water. I found it quite odd that we add chlorine to the water we drink. My question is how many days does it take to complete this process? I learned that we really most conserve our water! I was very surprised that 10,000,000 gallons of water are used in businesses in our city each day, and how many steps of cleaning there are till the water comes to your sink. The worst part was the hideous smell! The best was probably watching the water rise in thein the giant bin at the water treatment plant. I was really shocked that the bus broke down. It was the best bus I had ever seen in my life! It was acually a tourish bus!
Love, Bex

For our field trip we went to the wast water treatment plant. The thing that surprised me most was that the people that work there have to burn manure from the toilet pipes.That surprised me because I thought that they did some vu-do magic on it and bing bang boom It was clean water!
I learned that the slugg goes into a big, big pot, that looks like a fountian,to be stired slowly. I didn't know that slugg had anything to do with the water cycle. The manure there smelled
so bad I could throw up I wonted to!

After 27 years of waiting anxiously, it finally happened last week.
A hair grew on top of my head! (And, bonus, it was a split end. So I parted it in the centre.)
OK, that's about as likely to occur as palm trees in Port aux Basques.
What actually, factually happened? Van Halen released a new song with original singer David Lee Roth.
I know, I know, Nepal's postal service means more to you than that.
But to me, it's all-caps HUGE.
I've loved Van Halen for over three decades, and during that period, have spent more time playing "Panama" and "Unchained" on air guitar than doing anything else, except breathing.
Van Halen has always been, in my correct opinion, the best band ... E.V.E.R.
Well, with Roth as their frontman they were.
With Sammy Hagar as their singer, Van Halen meant less to me than, well, Nepal's postal service.
Anyway, if you've ever been a fan of anyone or anything - even Culture Club, Clay Aiken or the Montreal Canadiens - humour me for another 373 words and try to imagine how excited it was to see a link to Van Halen's new song on Twitter last week.
This was something I had waited for since the band released "1984" in 1803. (Joking, Jan. 9, 1984).
I wore out the grooves on 1984, and eagerly waited for some kind of a follow-up.
But, before that happened, Roth quit, and Hagar joined.
I remained a fan of Eddie Van Halen's guitar virtuosity during the Van Hagar years, but never took to the new singer.
So, to get my Van Halen fix - my appetite for "Eruption" - I relied on old albums with Roth.
After 27 years of the old stuff, believe me, I was super hyped to hear new Van Halen music.
Sitting at my work computer - don't tell the boss - I pressed in my earphones and opened the link expecting to be blown away.
Sadly, listening to the song, titled "Tattoo," hurt more than getting body art on the butt cheek. (Want to see whether or not I've ever experienced that? Send a $100 bill in care of me to The Telegram, please.)
The expectation was for a crunchy, rockin' guitar riff and nonsensical lyrics, not a pop song with a collection of recycled guitar licks and a pretty chorus.
I was completely rotted, not rocked. It surprisingly put me in a sour mood.
But while driving home, I thought about "Tattoo" again and was actually happy with my reaction to it.
It'd been years since I've gotten ticked about a band or sports team or a movie - things that don't mean a row of beans in the big picture.
The lapse in adulthood was welcomed.
Feeling a little teen spirit because of it, I ran up the back steps two at a time when I got home.
I was primed to rock out and play some air guitar, but was quickly catapulted back to adulthood when I got inside.
On the counter lay the most un-teen like thing of all - the January $%^&! credit card statement.
Arrgh ... Did you know Nepal's General Post Office offers an on-line postbox service?
Steve Bartlett thinks Van Halen's "Unchained" is the greatest rock song ever recorded. What song do you rank as number one? Let Steve know via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or send him a tweet:@bartlett_steve.

A Page High School teacher has resigned after inappropriate pictures of him surfaced on a photo-sharing site.
Guilford County Schools officials say 27-year-old William Saunders resigned on Friday after officials confronted him about photos he posted to his Instagram account.
A montage shows several photos of Saunders, including a naked shot in which he is cupping his genitals. A student shared the photos with a school resource officer, who notified school officials.
District officials say the photos violate their social media policy.
Saunders started working for Guilford County Schools in 2004 and served as a marketing teacher. He was named Guilford County Schools "Employee of the Month" for December.

Gum Disease
Topic Overview
What is gum disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues and bones that surround and support the teeth. It is also called periodontal disease.
There are two types of gum disease:
- Gingivitis (say "jin-juh-VY-tus") is gum disease that affects only the gums, the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth.
- Periodontitis (say "pair-ee-oh-don-TY-tus") is more severe. It spreads below the gums to damage the tissues and bone that support the teeth.
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is caused by the growth of germs called bacteria on the teeth and gums. Bacteria are present in plaque, a clear, sticky substance that your mouth produces.
- The bacteria in plaque feed on sugars in the foods you eat and drink and make poisons (toxins) and other chemicals. The toxins irritate your gums, causing them to swell and bleed easily when brushed.
- In time, plaque can harden into a buildup called calculus or tartar. This irritates the gums even more and causes them to pull away from your teeth.
Things that make you more likely to get gum disease include:
- Not cleaning your teeth well at home and not getting regular dental cleanings.
- Smoking or chewing tobacco. People who use tobacco are much more likely to get gum disease than those who don't. They also have more serious gum disease that leads to tooth loss and is hard to treat.
- Having gum disease in your family.
- Having a problem that weakens your immune system, such as a high stress level or a disease like diabetes, AIDS, or leukemia.
- Eating a diet that is low in vitamins and minerals, which can weaken your immune system, or high in sugary foods and carbohydrates, which help plaque grow.
What are the symptoms?
Healthy gums are pink and firm, fit snugly around the teeth, and do not bleed easily. Gingivitis causes:
- Gums that are red, swollen, and tender.
- Gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing.
Gingivitis usually isn't painful, so you may not notice the symptoms and may not get the treatment you need.
In periodontitis, the symptoms are easier to see, such as:
- Gums that pull away from the teeth.
- Bad breath that won't go away.
- Pus coming from the gums.
- A change in how your teeth fit together when you bite.
- Loose teeth.
If you think you have gum disease, see your dentist right away. Early treatment can keep it from getting worse.
How is gum disease diagnosed?
To find out if you have gum disease, your dentist or dental hygienist will do an exam to look for:
- Bleeding gums.
- Hard buildups of plaque and tartar above and below the gums.
- Areas where your gums are pulling away or shrinking from your teeth.
- Pockets that have grown between your teeth and gums.
Your dentist or dental hygienist may take X-rays of your teeth to look for bone damage and other problems.
How is it treated?
Early treatment of gum disease is very important. It can help prevent permanent gum damage, control infection, and prevent tooth loss. For treatment to work:
- Brush your teeth 2 times a day and floss 1 time a day.
- See your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
- Don't smoke or use any tobacco products.
For gingivitis, your dentist may prescribe antibiotics to help fight the infection. They can be put directly on the gums, swallowed as pills or capsules, or swished around your teeth as mouthwash. Your dentist may also recommend an antibacterial toothpaste that reduces plaque and gingivitis when used regularly.
For periodontitis, your dentist or dental hygienist may clean your teeth using a method called root planing and scaling. This removes the plaque and tartar buildup both above and below the gum line.
You may need surgery if these treatments don't control the infection or if you have severe damage to your gums or teeth. Surgery options include:
- Gingivectomy to get rid of the pockets between the teeth and gums where plaque can build up.
- A flap procedure to clean the roots of a tooth and repair bone damage.
- Extraction to remove loose or very damaged teeth.
After surgery, you may need to take antibiotics or other medicines to aid healing and prevent infection.
After treatment, keep your mouth disease-free by brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup. Your dentist will probably prescribe an antibacterial mouthwash.
How can you prevent gum disease?
Gum disease is most common in adults, but it can affect anyone, even children. So good dental habits are important throughout your life.
- Brush your teeth 2 times a day, in the morning and before bedtime, with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss once each day.
- Visit your dentist for regular checkups and teeth cleaning.
- Don't use tobacco products.

When I was twenty-two, fresh out of college, I moved to New York City by myself and was very lucky to have found an amazing, albeit small, studio space downtown. In a doorman building, high ceiling with exposed beams to boot, vintage glass door knobs, beautiful view of a church across the street… BUT for the life of me, I could not remember why I disliked my bathroom floor so much. It was tiled with the classic black and white pattern, nothing quite fancy as the one pictured above! But it was simple, easy on the eye, perfect for a tiny New York City apartment. Now looking back, I wish I still had that floor. I blame it on age and just simply didn't know any better! These images of black and white tiles really made me appreciate what I had many odd years ago… and the possibilities!

I believe the power creep was a direct result of complains that set 10 did not change the meta very much so set 11 made sure to.
...Wow. Really?
The complaint was in set 9 that there wasn't any change, b/c they released a bunch of crap. Set 10 was craptacular but in a different way (emana dilate ruuca).

Innovative Smart-Meter Device from STMicroelectronics Simplifies Interoperability, Enabling Massive Roll-Outs by UtilitiesWorld's first system-on-chip with turn-key hardware supporting METERS AND MORE® open communication standard enables broad smart-meter deployment
ST's ST75MM IC is the first to embed hardware and communication protocol support for METERS AND MORE®, simplifying meter design to ultimately enable faster, lower-cost and reliable deployments. The METERS AND MORE® is an open specification managed by the METERS AND MORE® not-for-profit Association comprising leading technology companies and utilities spanning the Americas, Europe and Asia.
"The ST75MM represents a concrete answer to the challenges associated with encouraging standardization and interoperability, while assuring the adoption of a mature technology proven over millions of smart meters already in the field," said Giuseppe Michele Salaris, the Chairman of the Board of Directors at METERS AND MORE® Association. "The world's energy businesses, from technology companies to utilities, should take advantage of this breakthrough using METERS AND MORE®, an open and field proven standard, to meet important climate-saving objectives such as the EU's 20/20/20 goals 2."
Customers using the ST75MM can join the METERS AND MORE® Association and achieve Certification for their products to enable widespread use by utility companies.ST implemented METERS AND MORE® in its ST75MM IC to benefit from the protocol's strong features for smart meter and Advanced Metering Infrastructure applications, such as short messages, robust encryption and authentication features, support for network configuration and management, and retransmission management. The ST75MM joins ST's STarGRID® SoC portfolio of smart-meter system-on-chip devices, which also includes the ST7570 supporting IEC 61334-5-1 communication, and the ST7590, which implements the PRIME standard.

About METERS AND MORE® Association
METERS AND MORE® is an international not-for-profit association founded in 2010 and governed by Belgian Law (Association Internationale sans but lucratif - AISBL). The Association maintains and promotes the METERS AND MORE® PLC protocol, the most widespread open communication protocol for remote meter management, which enables bidirectional data transfer in an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system. METERS AND MORE® derives from the protocol already proven in Enel's Telegestore AMI solution, serving over 40 million customers worldwide.
The METERS AND MORE® open protocol is currently being deployed by Enel's Spanish subsidiary Endesa, which is, together with its Parent Company Enel, one of the founding members of the Association. Endesa is leading smart metering activities in Spain with its ongoing mass rollout project of 13 million smart meters, representing the largest ongoing smart metering rollout in Europe. Furthermore, METERS AND MORE® technology is already being implemented in several smart metering pilots all over the world (Brazil, Chile, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Philippines, etc.) proving its capability to perform at the best even in the most severe and challenging LV network conditions.
