Tiger Takes Name off Ryder Cup List
Tiger Woods has removed his name for consideration on the 2014 U.S. Ryder Cup team. On Wednesday Woods notified team captain Tom Watson that, because of his ongoing back problems, he won't be able to play in the biennial match against Europe, slated for September 26-28 at Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland.
Woods never quite fully recovered from back surgery in late March. He's played only played eight times this season. He missed the cut in the Quicken Loans Invitational in late June, his first tournament back on the PGA Tour, finished 69th in the Open Championship, and withdrew midway through the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone - a place where he's won eight times - because of his balky back.
Last week in the PGA Championship, he was in obvious pain on occasion, but forged on at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. But the 14-time major champion carded a pair of 3-over 74s and missed the cut.
Despite Woods' lack of tournament competition and poor results, Watson said as late as last Monday that he'd still be considered as one of his three captain's picks. That's all moot now as Woods has decided to remove his name from the list.
"While I greatly appreciate Tom thinking about me for a possible captain's pick, I must take myself out of consideration," Woods said in a statement released Wednesday by the PGA of America, which oversees the Ryder Cup with the European Tour.
"I've been told by my doctors and trainer that my back muscles need to be rehabilitated and healed. They've advised me not to play or practice now. I'm extremely disappointed that I won't be ready for the competition. The U.S. team and the Ryder Cup mean too much to me not to be able to give it my best. I'll be cheering for the U.S. team. I think we have an outstanding squad going into the matches."
In response, Watson said in a release: "My primary wish is for Tiger to be healthy and competitive, and I hope that he'll return to the game very soon. Of course, I'm disappointed that Tiger Woods has asked not to be considered for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and that his health is not where he would like it to be.
"However, I think we can all agree that we need Tiger Woods in this great sport, and he has taken the high road by informing me early on in the selection process. My focus will remain on identifying three players to join the U.S. team and give us the best chance for success at Gleneagles."
On his website, Woods said he's hoping to return to competition in December for the World Challenge event in Orlando; the tournament benefits his foundation.
Woods appeared on seven U.S. Ryder Cup teams between 1997 and 2012. Nine automatic berths on the U.S. team were secured following the PGA Championship. The qualifiers include: Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Jimmy Walker, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Zach Johnson.
With Woods out of the picture, among Watson's choices for captain's picks are Keegan Bradley, Brandt Snedeker, Webb Simpson, assistant captain Steve Stricker, Ryan Moore, Brendon Todd and Chris Kirk.

Never Wrestle with a Pigby Mark H. Mccormack
Drawing upon forty years of experience from his own sports and celebrity management practice, Mark H. McCormack is back with common-sense advice aimed at business owners and would-be CEOs. McCormack's tips include: End your day on time People who say they can keep a secret usually can't It pays to overestimate your competition The best ideas cannot be stolen Know when to say "It's none of your business" Get paid for thinking rather than doing Time in front of the customer is the best time of all Be wary of unanimous agreement Not every budget deserves your respect Learn the art of picking up the check In ninety brief chapters that range in topic from getting ahead to staying competitive, McCormack makes clear that doing business in today's climate still involves the same basic elements of human interaction-intelligence, creativity, and efficiency-that have always meant the difference between success and failure. .
On Negotiatingby Mark H. Mccormack
An advanced course on the art of negotiating, this book is filled with personal and professional anecdotes to illustrate the concepts.

Esperance pilots to learn lessons for life
Esperance pilots will learn aviation lessons for life at a local safety briefing next week.
The lessons for life briefing will focus on key safety issues that continue to put pilots at risk when flying.
The safety issues are the need for extreme care during flights in low visibility and the dangers of unplanned or unapproved low flying.
These two circumstances continue to contribute to a number of serious accidents and incidents every year.
Local pilots will be asked to look at why these types of accidents or incidents occur and how they can be avoided.
Other issues to be covered in the briefing will include regulatory changes, pilot responsibilities in relation to maintenance documents and the correct procedures to follow at non-controlled aerodromes.
Each seminar also provides a chance for pilots to give feedback and suggestions to CASA.
CASA's Peter Gibson says the briefing for Esperance pilots is part of a national aviation safety education campaign.
"Teaching local pilots aviation lessons for life is a high priority for CASA" Mr Gibson says.
The Esperance aviation safety briefing is being held on Friday 18 September 2015 at 6:30pm at the Esperance Aero Club.
People attending are asked to book online using AviationWorx on the CASA web site: www.casa.gov.au/avsafety

Inspirational Mothers - Down Syndrome Advocacy
We can be thankful to one another for the inspiration to be the mothers our children deserve and the advocates that society demands, keeping one another reaching forward for our children and reaching back to other moms and families.
Intervening with Abusive Mothers in Public
Observing abusive situations in public between a mother and child leaves many parents questioning how they could have intervened in the best interest of the child. Mothers who are overwhelmed and have no support or respite alternatives may require an expression of sympathy to initiate self-control.
Interviewing Caregivers for Your Child or Teen
Parents of children with developmental disabilities, chronic health conditions, or other special needs may assume that any caregiver on an agency list has the training, experience, or basic skills to care for their son or daughter. Agency training may cover only filling out paperwork or timecards.
Intimidating Teachers and Childhood Disability
Parents sometimes report difficulties in creating relationships with intimidating teachers who do not seem to be open to advocacy efforts or the sharing of information about their son or daughter's individual talents, abilities, or special needs. Some teachers may feel parents are intimidating, too
iPhone and iPod Touch Apps - Childhood Disability
Reports of iPhone and iPod Touch apps especially developed for children and adults with developmental disabilities or who use alternative communication options have inspired parents to start thinking about how the newest technologies might benefit our sons and daughters with childhood disabilities.
Is Diversity Like A New Box of Crayons?
We are asking the wrong questions when we discuss whether (or when) a child with a disability should be included in a mainstream classroom, or integrated with typically developing peers in other programs. Mainstream students in regular classrooms already enjoy many accommodations and supports.
Kawasaki Syndrome
Kawasaki Syndrome, or Kawasaki Disease, is a serious though rare condition resulting in a sudden fever of five days or more; red rash; pink eyes; redness inside mouth, ´strawberry´ tongue; ´glove and sock´ hardening red rash and swelling in hands and feet; swollen glands; or cracked, inflamed lips.
Kindergarten and Childhood Disabilities
Parent advocates in the past quarter century have found that creating an inclusive placement for their children's kindergarten year is the best way to improve opportunities and access for the rest of their children's school years and transition to adulthood.
Kindergarten Transition
Planning the transition from preschool to kindergarten can include visiting available classrooms before summer break, considering an extra year of preschool in a transition or mainstream program, private kindergarten or homeschooling
Lack of Sleep and Rest for Caregivers
Losing sleep, having poor quality or interrupted sleep, and unavailable respite care for parents caring for children with special needs adds to health risks

UWM's "Book of Rhymes" features nationally-known poets

This year's event features two nationally recognized artists: comedian, poet and singer Spoken Reason, and UW poet Jasmine Mans.
Mans, 21, shot to stardom in 2010 after her now-infamous performance of the poem "Nicki Minaj" at the school's "Stomp Da Madness" event. Her fiery critique of the rap star sparked a massive online debate, and the video became an Internet sensation, garnering the sociology major national attention and 500,000 views on YouTube. »Read Full Article

More research for Kanzius device before FDA application
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston will conduct two more large-animal cancer studies this summer before the owner of the Kanzius external radio-frequency generator is ready to apply for human trials.
If all goes well, AkesoGenX Corp. will file an application with the Food and Drug Administration by early fall, said Steven Curley, M.D., the Kanzius project's lead researcher.
AkesoGenX is the company that purchased the rights to the device from Therm Med, a for-profit organization created by the late John Kanzius of Millcreek Township.
"We met with a consultant in April who worked for the FDA for 20 years and he recommended the studies," Curley said. "He also made some recommendations on the device itself in terms of quality control."
The FDA must approve any drug or device before it can be used to treat humans.
Kanzius' generator works by using radio waves to heat and destroy cancer cells targeted with microscopic pieces of metal called nanoparticles. It also works without nanoparticles in combination with low doses of traditional chemotherapy.
Curley said he doesn't know which method AkesoGenX will submit to the FDA.
"It depends on the studies we do this summer," said Curley, who serves as an unpaid consultant for AkesoGenX.
There is no single FDA application process, said Susan Laine, FDA spokeswoman.
"There are many different pathways, depending on whether it is a drug or device, and how risky the device is," Laine said.
Once the application is filed, Curley said the FDA has 90 days to respond and schedule a face-to-face meeting with AkesoGenX and Curley. The government agency then has 75 days from that point to decide about human trials.
"In a perfect world they would tell us to rock and roll and we start human trials," Curley said. "But more often they want two or three additional studies."
The goal is to get approved and start human trials sometime in 2015.
Phase one of the trials would be held at Baylor, where Curley has been conducting research since retiring from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in December. Phase one trials typically involve relatively few patients and focus on the safety of the device.
Phase two trials would take place at six to 10 different locations, including the Regional Cancer Center, 2500 W. 12th St. Phase two trials focus on how well the device works.
Curley, who has taken other cancer treatments through the FDA approval process, likes the Kanzius device's chances.
"I think we have very compelling results," Curley said.

Reason: Dilution. Those notes and warrants they just sold.
As for OCT, I believe they gained some exposure to OCT when they picked up Cardiospectre. Can anyone confirm?
Ok, I've seen this kind of thing before, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The notes convert a bit over $32 a share and the warrants are for purchase over $37 a share. And since both are issued pursuant to a shelf registration, the dilution ought to have been allowed for already. And a decent chunk of proceeds will go to retire a higher-interest (and also convertible, at a lower price) bond issue.
We know that Volcano internally has a lot of exposure to OCT (partly acquired with Cardio Spectra), but ongoing litigation has caused them to be pretty quiet in public for the last two years.

Look out! Here comes electronic fuel metering
Karen Freeman thought that she'd returned her Chrysler 200 Sedan to the Richmond airport with a full tank. She thought wrong.
"An agent noted that the tank was full," says Freeman, an architect from Atlanta. The gauge also registered that the tank was at capacity, she says.
But a few days later, when she reviewed her credit card bill, she discovered that Avis had charged her an extra $7.43 for 0.8 gallons of gas, or about $9.29 per gallon. She called the company to complain.
"A representative told me that according to a satellite, when I picked up my car, it had 16.9 gallons in it," she says. "And when I returned it, it had 16.1 gallons. I checked the ticket from pickup and there's no mention of the fuel quantity other than 'G8' — which means full."

A $93 "top off" charge for my rental car?
Question: I rented a car from Hertz in Miami a few months ago. Before returning it, I filled it up with gas. When I turned the car in, I double-checked the fuel gauge, made sure my receipt reflected that the car had been returned full, and, thinking I had myself covered, flew home.

Ridiculous or not? Airlines fall in love with fuel surcharges all over again
Ridiculous or not? When a "fuel surcharge" costs more than an airline ticket
Weekend survey: Are the latest fare hikes fair?
Ridiculous or not? Allegiant proposes new airfare that changes before the date of travel
If fuel costs are under control, then why are airlines stalling?
What frustrates you most about travel? Survey says …
… gas prices. By a long shot. At least according to our friends at Access America, who poll travelers every quarter about their travel-related anxieties.
Even airline service and security — two hotbutton topics on this blog — fail to come close to travelers' gas problems.
So what?
Maybe the travel media (and I include myself in this group) needs to take a hard look at the way it covers the Recession of 2008. It is — and I want to be careful not to overstate this — obsessed with planes.
Travelers aren't. They are concerned about cars. They worry about high fuel prices.
Travel news outlets aren't doing their audience any favors by pretending their readers, viewers and listeners fly everywhere.
Why high gas prices could cut your vacation costs
Too bad gas prices are falling.
While the rest of the world whined about the seemingly unstoppable rise in energy costs this summer, and the greedy oil companies that were probably to blame for them, we missed the other side of the story.
Soaring fuel costs can potentially save us real money on our next vacation — if not in the short term, then down the road. The effects were already being seen across the board: hotel rooms, car rentals and counterintuitively, even airline tickets. If nothing else, paying more at the pump would have encouraged travelers to do things that will make travel more sustainable in the future.
Don't believe me? Just talk to your seatmate or fellow hotel guest.
If you do, you'll hear that contrary to travel surveys that basically shrugged off the energy crisis, travelers either plan some dramatic and permanent changes to the way they get around, or they've already made them.
Chat with Kathleen Hargan, a child custody mediator from Oakland, Calif., and she'll tell you the sad story of downsizing her car to a Prius. "I loved my Lexus almost as much as my firstborn," she says. "Well, a far second, anyway. It was a dream car. But I had an epiphany when gas hit $3 a gallon."
Some travelers have gone even further. "I've cut my gas consumption in half — or even better — by parking my old reliable GMC Suburban in favor of a BMW motorcycle," says Jack Riepe, who works for a trade organization in Alexandria, Va. "In most cases, a pair of khakis and a dress shirt can be teamed up with a blazer in the saddle-bags for a business look. Business associates have gotten used to the boots."
Others are trying to kick the fossil fuel habit altogether. "Gas prices pushed me to buy a bike," says Lynette Phillips, a university research associate who lives in Shaker Heights, Ohio. "We live close enough to some stores that we can walk, so I do that more often."
So how is this affecting travel? J Michael Murray, a retired professor from Sarasota, Fla., canceled his Mediterranean cruise this fall. "Flying to Istanbul and back from Rome was too big a hassle," he says. "The cruise and related expense was just too much for what we would have gotten." Remember, cruise lines have imposed fuel surcharges on their tickets, which jacked prices up without raising fares. Very clever. Or maybe not.
I'm hearing from a lot more people like Doreen Friel, a communications consultant from Tampa, Fla., who is frustrated by both higher energy prices and the hassle of travel. She just canceled her Delta Air Lines affinity credit card because, "Sky Miles are now worthless," adding, "it's just not worth leaving home anymore."
If fuel prices head higher, travelers like Friel will benefit. Have I fallen off my rocker? No. Here are three ways high gas prices can you money.
1. Hotels: more incentives and falling rates?
During the last few weeks, just before fuel prices started edging downward, lodging analysts and hotel insiders told me rate growth had slowed. If conditions don't change soon, they added, rates could start to fall. It seems every other hotel is issuing gas cards to encourage people to visit. No company is beneath this kind of incentive. I just saw Preferred Hotel Group — to which upscale boutique properties like the Mosaic Hotel Beverly Hills and San Francisco's Huntington Hotel belong — offering gas cards.
Hotels were holding the line on further discounts, but if bookings continue to slow, they would have no choice but to cut room rates. Average daily rates slowed from an uptick of 7.1 percent in 2006 to about 5.9 percent last year, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. A recessionary economy might have pushed that growth into reverse, which would have been a boon to bargain-hunters.
What that means for you: Wait as long as you can before making a hotel reservation. Prices are probably headed south.
2. Rental cars: bigger is … cheaper?
Soaring gas bills meant that rental companies were, in the words of one insider, getting "slammed" — and the beneficiaries are you, the traveling public. Don't believe me? Try this: Go to the Web site belonging to a major car rental company, like Avis, Enterprise or Hertz, and pull up a random rate quote. Then head over to Hotwire.com and find out how much less the same car would cost. Then go to Priceline.com and bid a few dollars a day below that. Oh wait, you've done this before? No, you haven't.
Here's the thing about rental cars that few people know. The larger cars can actually be cheaper than the matchbox cars. Why? Because travelers want to save gas, which drives up the demand and prices of vehicles with better fuel economies. Oddly, smaller cars and hybrids could cost more than SUVs and minivans.
What this means to you: Bigger is better. If you have a large family or if you're driving a short distance, bid aggressively for a larger car on Priceline. (I just snagged a full-size car at Los Angeles airport on Priceline for what Hotwire wanted to charge for its smallest vehicle. Go figure.)
3. Airline tickets: still pretty darned cheap.
Yes, this summer's airfares are up about 20 percent from last year. But they're still a bargain. The average domestic airfare for the first quarter of 2008 was $332 — the same price as it was a decade ago, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. And there are signs that consumers are resisting further increases, according to my friends over at Farecast. That's bad news for airlines like US Airways, who envision a future where they charge outrageous sums of money to fly between big cities, presumably leaving the rest of us to ride the bus. If passengers refuse to pay higher prices, something's gotta give.
It doesn't take an aviation analyst to figure out what might happen if fuel prices again start heading north. Customers eventually will refuse to pay exorbitant ticket prices, and the weakest airlines will fail. But I don't envision a future in which two or three remaining carriers are able to set their own monopolistic prices. Instead, I see a future where the poorly-managed air carriers liquidate and new airlines emerge to meet demand from air travelers. These upstart carriers will be more efficient, customer-friendly and unencumbered by the poisonous corporate cultures that have defined many of today's dysfunctional airlines.
What it means to you: In the short term, you may pay more for an airline ticket. But don't let the airlines name their own price. Know when to say when. Force the incompetent airlines out of business by refusing to do business with them. The sooner you do that, the sooner you'll pay a more reasonable fare.
Higher fuel prices have already forced travelers to make some long-overdue changes — whether it's cutting back on trips or being more mindful of our limited energy resources. Cheaper prices at the pump threaten to put a dent in the progress.
I'm not the only one who feels that way.
"I am enjoying the high price of oil," says James Edward Wright, a retiree from Duluth, Minn. "For too long, citizens told our political leaders to make sure we have low gas prices, even if we have to drill holes in some third-world country that hates us. We need $4 to $5 a gallon gas to make it painful enough for us to demand a fix."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Sky-high fuel surcharges stick despite sliding energy prices
Energy prices may be falling, but airline fuel surcharges are holding steady — if not rising.
The fees on tickets to Europe this autumn were already pretty high, ranging from $342 to $474 per ticket, according to sample fares from Bestfares.com. That figure doesn't include landing fees and taxes of about $258 (but that's another story).
But jet fuel prices are headed down, dropping from $3.64 per gallon on July 29 to $3.39 per gallon on Aug. 4, according to the Energy Information Administration. This has triggered widespread speculation that fuel surcharges would fall, too.
The winter fares to Europe — also courtesy of Bestfares.com — show the exact same fuel surcharges. Meanwhile, the base fares have dropped by about $200, as they do during the off-season. So proportionately to the fares charged by the airlines, the fuel surcharges have actually risen.
Many airfare experts believe airlines will eventually lower their fuel surcharges, as energy prices continue to decline. But the fares currently being offered seem to contradict the conventional wisdom. They suggest airlines have unbundled energy costs from their base fares, and probably have no intention of folding their fuel costs back into the price of a ticket.
We already know that airlines plan to do this with non-fuel-related surcharges. If they can get away with it on fuel fees, too, it may not be long before base fares are pure profit.
Time to buy airline stock? Perhaps.
(Thanks to my friends at the San Antonio Express-News for the tip.)
If you were an airline, you'd be paying $1 per gallon less for fuel
I got a little curious after hearing about the airline industry's self-serving push to regulate oil speculation. It made me wonder how much the airlines were paying for a gallon of fuel.
Here's the somewhat surprising answer: on average, the airlines are shelling out up to $1 per gallon less than we do at the pump.
I'm no expert on the airline industry, and unlike some other travel columnists, I'm not going to pretend to be one. But I think these numbers speak for themselves.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the US airlines spent an average of $3.05 a gallon in May, or roughly $3.5 billion. It's the latest month for which statistics are available.
But compare that to $3.81 per gallon of gasoline paid by the average motorist in the United States the same month, according to the government's Energy Information Administration. When you look the fuel costs of non-scheduled airlines — they paid $2.81 per gallon — it comes out to about a $1 per gallon difference.
I know, I know. Comparing unleaded gasoline to jet fuel is problematic. And so is comparing wholesale prices to retail prices. Point taken.
But I don't care.
If airlines are paying a buck per gallon less than we are, they should just shut up about energy costs. If anyone has a right to complain, it's us.
Airline fee orgy has nothing to do with fuel prices
Bob Crandall is right. The latest airline crisis, which has unleashed an avalanche of new fees and surcharges on passengers, has nothing to do with high fuel prices. It's about bad management.
But we don't need American Airlines' former chief executive to tell us that. We just need to wait a while.
When fuel prices come back down — as they are almost certain to — just pay close attention to all the new extras that have sprung up in the last few months.
The $15 fee for the first checked bag. The $2 per soft drink charge. The surcharges for redeeming our "free" award tickets.
Does anyone think airlines will back off when times are better?
Of course not. Airlines have been waiting for an excuse to charge us for anything that isn't bolted down on the plane. They've been looking at Ryanair for years, envious of its ability to charge passengers for everything.
No, none of these fees are going to go away.
So are the airlines lying to us? Yes and no.
Sure, fuel costs more. No doubt, it's far more difficult to make a buck in the airline business than it was just six months ago because of sky-high oil prices. But that's not the whole story.
Airlines have always wanted to add these fees, and in that sense, the higher fuel costs are nothing more than a smokescreen. They are not giving us what we want, as United Airlines disingenuously claimed when it announced its new surcharges yesterday.
They are giving us what they want.

South Atlanta High School to Use New Interactive Technology Soon
By Seth Coleman
South Atlanta High School is quickly becoming a hub for innovative measures that will improve the lives of its students.
First came the establishment of the school's Automotive Basic Maintenance and Light Repair Lab, courtesy of $150,000-worth of equipment from Kaufman Tires. Now South Atlanta is about to become the first Atlanta Public School high school with a ZSpace Technology Lab.
ZSpace is a state-of-the-art learning tool that allows teachers and students to use virtual reality and three-dimensional imagery in the classroom. The technology can be used across the curriculum, from science and art to language arts and math. Currently, Cleveland Avenue and M.A. Jones Elementary Schools, along with Brown Middle School, have ZSpace labs.
Teachers at South Atlanta were able to sample the technology when the ZSpace Technology Mobile Computer Lab visited the campus recently.
"This is where job training is going in the future. In fact, it's already here," said Joe Parlier, a sales associate for Vizitech USA, one of the companies that sells ZSpace labs. He pointed out that the Georgia Department of Transportation uses ZSpace virtual reality computer labs to train its employees. "This is how many organizations and companies are training their employees, and so this is how we should be preparing our students to be successful."
One of the thousands of ZSpace educational programs allows a user to don a pair of virtual reality goggles, highlight a human heart and examine a three-dimensional image of the heart, inside and out.
South Atlanta Principal Dr. Patricia Ford plans to have a full ZSpace computer lab, with 12-15 stations, up and running in the school before the end of this school year. She believes using ZSpace Technology aligns perfectly with the school's long term curriculum plan of focusing on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
"Our students and our teachers are really excited about this," Ford said. "I think it will increase our students' love of learning. ZSpace Technology provides a means for learning through exploring, and it will increase our students' skill sets in science and STEM. When you put on those goggles you can be transported anywhere in the universe and pick up and examine almost any object. It will be a fantastic learning tool for our students."
Google Brings Virtual Reality to APS Classrooms
By: Taylor R. Jones
Can you imagine visiting the bottom of the sea and the surface of Mars in one day? This has now become a marvelous reality thanks to Google's Expeditions Pioneer Program.
The Expeditions Pioneer Program is a virtual reality platform built for the classroom and designed to incorporate with teacher lesson plans. Teachers guide students on 3D virtual tours of places that school buses cannot go.
When this program was first launched in September 2015, its availability was limited to certain cities within the United States and around the world. When Gina Wilson, Dobbs Elementary School's Educational Technology Specialist, was first introduced to Google Expedition technology last summer, she helped convince Google officials to include Atlanta Public Schools in their beta testing protocol. Now, these guided virtual tours not only enhance the in-classroom learning experience, but these tours have also given teachers extra motivation.
"Our teachers are able to use this technology to take their students on a virtual field trip all over the world," Wilson said. "Our teachers have taken this technology, embraced it, and now see the positive impact it has on student instruction."
Google representatives have traveled all over metro Atlanta to bring APS teachers the essential tools they will need to feed the malleable minds of their elementary school students: ASUS smartphones, a tablet for the teacher, router and viewers that turn phones into virtual reality headsets, and Google Cardboard. APS sites such as Dobbs, Boyd, Hope-Hill, and Venetian Hills elementary schools received the opportunity to test Google's virtual realities early. But Google's Expeditions have even stimulated the interest of district S.T.E.M. teachers, as well.
APS' Venetian Hills S.T.E.M. teacher, Nichole Jones, is absolutely elated about the excitement Google is bringing to her classrooms. Not only have these expeditions given her the opportunity to observe student's growth in knowledge, skills, and attitudes first-hand, but they have also greatly motivated her with the strong sense of technology that is replacing how students learn and interact.
"The virtual field trip experiences that Google Expeditions provides has set an exciting precedent of the capability that technology has to bridge the gap between the classroom and the world," Wilson said.
Now that beta testing is coming to an end, it will be up to APS schools whether or not to adopt this new form of classroom teaching. Again, Google will try to make that decision easier. By January 2016. Google announced that the Expeditions Pioneer Program will release an app for Android. This way, teachers and schools can easily access virtual experiences for their classrooms.

South Atlanta High School partners with Best Buy to introduce students to careers in STEM
by Britney Morgan, Office of Communications
As a part of Teen Tech Week, volunteers from Best Buy will host an Hour of Code workshop in the South Atlanta High School media center on March 11, 2015 at 3:30 p.m. The workshop will help students with their digital literacy skills and introduce them to the basics of coding.
South Atlanta was one of 11 sites nationwide chosen to host this event. Shanna Miles, media specialist at South Atlanta,spearheaded the partnership and says that this is a great opportunity for APS students. "We're partnering with Best Buy to introduce our students to opportunities in the STEM fields. Many students of color and girls are under-represented in the field. By exposing them early on, we may be able to spark an interest that blooms into a future career," said Miles.
According to US News & World Report, STEM employment growth is outpacing the general economy by about 300 percent. STEM careers include jobs such as video game development and robotics. See a list of some of the coolest STEM jobs listed in the 10 Amazingly Cool STEM Jobs from stemjobs.com.

Usher-Collier Elementary students participate in the 2nd annual Georgia STEM Day
Usher-Collier Elementary hosted STEM Day program activities for the 2014 2nd annual Georgia STEM Day earlier this spring. The activities consisted of both a STEM CAREER DAY and their end of the year Engineering Design Challenge.
STEM professionals from all over the Atlanta metro area visited Usher-Collier Elementary to speak to students about what it's like to be a STEM career professional.
STEM Career Day professional participants included an engineer from the United States Army, Apple and Microsoft technicians, a local funeral home director, budget director and 3D printing specialist.
In addition to the STEM Career Day, students participated in their end of the year Engineering Design Challenge. Students, all grade levels, were charged with the task to create the tallest freestanding structure that could support a marshmallow using only raw spaghetti pasta, tape, and a string with an eighteen-minute window of time.
Amazingly, many of the students were able to meet the challenge by working together in teams, using their imagination and creativity while following the engineering process to build their structures.
In the true mission of STEM, Usher-Collier Elementary shared their love of the initiative by reaching out to other elementary schools in the district and invited them to a whimsical day of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Usher-Collier hosted thirty students and four educators from surrounding elementary schools who have an interest in STEM.
Students who visited the school rotated through four stations learning a different STEM lesson at each stop. Stations included, the i-Movie station, science lab, 3D station, and the astrological engineering station. Students learned how to create movies, weather instruments and 3D products. They were also given a real world problem that challenged them to build a spaceship with shock absorbers that would safely land two astronauts on planet Mars.
Usher-Collier future scientists and engineers were fascinated with the exposure they received and were left truly motivated to seek more knowledge and skills as it relates to STEM.
See video from STEM Day below.

Northwest Association For Blind AthletesNorthwest Association For Blind Athletes
(NWABA) is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization. It was formed on May 5, 2007 by a group of visually impaired athletes because there was a lack of sports opportunities in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
The mission of NWABA is to provide opportunities for blind and visually impaired persons to become engaged in physical activity and sports. We will provide scholarships and host events to build confidence and physical fitness. The confidence gained from sports will inspire athletes to follow their dreams in life and in sports.
NWABA provides opportunities to athletes in Powerlifting, Goalball, Judo, Swimming, Track and Field, Tandem Cycling, Skiing, and Wrestling. Our dream is to make a difference in the lives of every visually impaired individual in the Northwest and give them the opportunity to participate in sports and physical activity. Sports have a life-changing impact on an athlete's life. When athletes realize that they can excel in sports, it builds the confidence to excel in school or work.
There are hundreds of potential athletes across the Northwest who aren't involved in sports because of their vision; most of them aren't able to participate in baseball, football, basketball or even their physical education class. Instead, they sit at home or on the bench and never have the opportunity to participate or be on a "team." Our goal is to reach as many blind persons as possible and enrich their life through athletics.

Phat HoopsPhat HoopsTrina Latshaw
Phat Hoops started in 2010 building and selling weighted sport hoops in Clark County. Since then we have grown and now are a part of many organizations to help get everyone hooping in our community. From sponsoring the hoop contest at the Clark County Fair to working with Young Women in Action, we have dedicated ourselves to helping others lose inches and have fun doing it! Here are just some of the benefits:
Tones Muscles
Because your muscles must be in constant motion to keep the hoop moving, hooping is an easy way to tone and strengthen the muscles in the abdomen, hips and legs. Phat Hoops are larger, weighted hoops with more resistance to strengthen muscles faster.
Builds Coordination
In order to keep a Phat Hoop moving, you must move in a steady rhythm with good timing. Using a Phat Hoop may seem challenging at first, but the more you do it the easier it becomes as your coordination increases.
Fun Activity
One of the best benefits of hooping is that it is just plain fun. Using a hoop is a great way for adults to reconnect with their inner child and play. You can hoop to music or with others to make it even more enjoyable.

MARTINSBURG - The "for the kids, by George" children's museum continues to be the beneficiary of generous donations from residents of the area.
The latest edition to the museum's collection came from John Gracen Brown and Wanda "Happy Crane" Murphy.
Brown has been scouring local creek banks for Indian artifacts for several years, collecting stone artifacts used by Native Americans in their everyday lives.

Points and carved stone tools were donated by John Gracen Brown, and an Indian drum on the right was donated by Wanda 'Happy Crane' Murphy to the 'for the kids, by George' children's museum in Martinsburg for its Native American exhibit.

A basketful of stone tools carved by Indians and found in the tri-county that were donated by John Gracen Brown to the 'for the kids, by George' children's museum in Martinsburg for its Native American exhibit.
"I read about the museum in The Journal," Brown said in a recent interview. "I was impressed and donated about 40 items to the museum."
The "for the kids, by George" children's museum is a project of the Washington Heritage Trail, a combination of roads looping through the tri-county that connects historic sites, especially those related to George Washington and the Washington family, with tourist attractions.
The museum is under construction in the Caperton Train Station on East Martin Street in Martinsburg. It highlights the history of Martinsburg, Berkeley County and the region by focusing on the time Washington spent in this area as a young surveyor.
One of the exhibits in the museum features the history of Indians in this area.
Several of the objects Brown donated to the museum came from Back Creek, he said, including stone tools, pottery shards and flint projectile points.
He often takes groups of children on his artifact foraging expeditions, Brown said.
"There are none better at finding artifacts than little kids," he said. "They expect to find stuff, they have better eyesight and they're closer to the ground."
Over the years, the Martinsburg resident has probably collected about 3,000 items - including extremely rare carved stone toys - almost all of which he has donated to museums throughout the region, he said.
He finds most of the artifacts imbedded in the banks of the Potomac River as well as creek banks and islands in the middle of creeks, Brown explained.
During the construction of the C&O Canal, several dams were built along the Potomac River to create pools from which water could be drawn for use in the canal. The six dams raised the level of the river.
"In 1936, Dam No. 6 and Dam No. 8 were taken out," Brown said. "The river level went down, which exposed Indian artifacts in the banks."
He found at Paw Paw what he describes as "a tremendous village," and a site along Back Creek where "you can see where the women sat and the children played," Brown said.
He became interested in collecting ancient artifacts because his father also was a collector.
Happy Crane, Wanda Murphy's Indian name, donated a large drum, valued at $500, and a black bear skin to the museum.
"I want to keep the culture alive," she said in a recent telephone interview as to why she donated the items. "I'm willing to keep the culture going, keep it alive."
Murphy is of Kiowa Apache ancestry. She has lived in Martinsburg since she was 17 years old.
The drum is about 4 feet across and was made by the Tarahumara of New Mexico, Murphy said. She had it shipped to her via Greyhound bus, she said.
For the last eight years, Murphy has led the Sweet Grass Drum group that performs throughout the area at events like Martinsburg Heritage Day.
Designed by Lisa Dall'Olio of Grove Dall'Olio Architects in Martinsburg, the children's museum will be dedicated May 11 during this year's Heritage Day celebrations.

The St. Regis Beijing
Iridium Spa
The Iridium Spa comprises 1,500 square meters, all dedicated to relaxation and rejuvenation, beautifully enhanced by signature bespoke service.
Since ancient times, healing waters have been at the very roots of the spa experience. At The St. Regis Beijing, natural hot springs rising from 1,500 meters underground flow through a special filter into luxurious Jacuzzis. Six spa and body therapy rooms include one VIP suite, one Vichy shower and king bath room, two single rooms, and two double suites. With hot spring plunges, saunas, aroma steam rooms, and the Iridium Room, this elegant sanctuary offers the perfect escape as well as a gateway to a world of wellness.
The spa requests a minimum of four hours' notice for cancellations as a courtesy to our professional practitioners. Cancellation made with less than two hours' notice will incur a 50% cancellation fee, while no-shows will incur the full treatment charge.
If this is a first visit, please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the treatment to allow time to check in, change clothing, and relax in the Iridium Room. Spa therapists recommend a warm shower and a glass of water before treatment and request that clients are ready to be greeted by their therapists 15 minutes before scheduled appointments. If a late arrival is unavoidable, please call to notify the spa receptionist when possible. Arriving late will simply limit the time for treatment, as the spa must complete each service by the designated end-time in order to appropriately accommodate the next guest.
Athletic Center
The hotel also features a state-of-the-art Athletic Center, complete with an aerobics studio, squash courts, spinning classes, strength-training equipment, cardio machines, and 35 flat screen TVs. The 25-meter indoor swimming pool provides a beautiful view of The St. Regis Beijing's unique garden. Other facilities that cater to guests' every need include a full-service hair and beauty salon.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 1057 reviews
We stayed there because some friends stayed there. I thought it was pricey for a room without a great view.
I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel. Having never heard of this chain, I was a bit nervous about my stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the rooms were better than I expected. Loved the breakfast options.
Everything was fine except I didn't like that they needed to copy my credit card for 'incidentals' when I paid online. And according to the desk person they keep a copy of it.
Hotel was decent if you enjoy free beer and fattening appetizers...They need to really pay more attention to their exercise equipment. Very disappointing when machines malfunction during use. All of the 3 machines...Also, I thought I could walk to the ball...Didn't realize that you have to cross a 6 lane road.
This was a quick stop for me. Had a King bed suite, and it was fairly small room. Amenities were excellent (Pool, Breakfst,Happy Hour). Room was clean, friendly staff, neighborhood was good compared to other parts of city. Wifi did not work which was horrible. Would stay here anytime and for price this is probably best value for your dollar. BUT FIX THE WIFI.

Former baseball star Rose speaks at church
ROYERSFORD -- Former baseball star Pete Rose spoke at a Philadelphia-area church about second chances and making mistakes.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Rose spoke Sunday at Christ's Church of the Valley in Royersford. Rose was banned from baseball in 1989 for betting on games while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
The church invited Rose to speak, and Pastor Brian Jones said that the Bible speaks about the need to give people another chance.
The pastor declined to say how much Rose charged for the appearances.
Rose said he was wrong, but should be allowed back in baseball because drug users and alcoholics have been given second and third chances in the sport. But Rose said he can't complain because he's the one "that screwed up."

If Arno loses their fight, the Damage inflicted on Arno's owner will be reduced by 3 points or up to a minimum of 2. If the winning character's Damage points are lower than or equal to 2, then the Ability has no effect.
The opponent's Ability is cancelled if they have one.
This guy looks like that Dora Explorer thing. It's price is a little rediculous as well. Vote green if you think it should be at 1000.
Want the full artwork?
Please rate up so everybody can find this easily (When copying the direct links, delete the (U) from the address bar if it shows up)
Direct Links:
Artist Tony Semedo's Site:
Thanks to Slify for finding the Tony Semedo Site
Arno - 4/4 with -3 Damage. min 2 (ability) and SoA (bonus)
- Damage reduction is always useful. -3 is quite a lot, and the min is relatively low.
- Low amount of stars gives you room for beasts like Shakra and Ratanah
- 4 damage is relatively high for a 2-star.
- Lvl1 art has a happy monkey
- Highish damage is completely overshadowed by low power.
- While damage reduction is nice, winnning with low star cards against higher star cards means more points in DT. Arno has a hard time in that winning catagory.
Overall: 6.5/10. Arno is to Jeena as Price Jr is to Mona. A little weaker stats, one less star (although Arno's ability is a bit worse too). Basically, if you can't afford buying lvl2 Jeena s all the time, you get Arno. And he isn't that bad himself. However, I'd take Miken Moose for a 2-star before him most of the time.
Today was a nice day. After coming back from work I made a cup of my favourite Earl grey tea and leaned back comfortably on my chair in front of the computer. After a while of relaxing pointless clicking on the Internet I thought to myself "hey, why not chcek out what's going on on ur!". It's been nearly two months since I've visited UR, so I was eager to find out what interesting new tweaks our beloved staff had made in the game. "Oh, hey", I noticed, "New permbans!". I took a large sip of my tea to ease the excitement and clicked on the link...
My gosh people..are you have a noob lasp...This card is not worth 2200 clintz I got it for 800....it's a damage reducer yeah I get it..but your never gonna win with this card for attacking..just not worth it...If I am anyone that is gonna buy this card wait till the price drops...Vote green if you wan this card back to around 1200!!!!!
Arno is ELO banned?! This doesn't make any sense....
He is EXACTLY like Bristone with only 2 less power.
WHAT THE Fudge?!?!
I know that SOA clans are kind of dominating in ELO, but that doesn't mean you should ban every single useful card!
The banning of so many characters from ELO made ELO mode very unstable.
Rate green if you think so too.
As a mono Roots player, ELO banning Arno is seriously the most crippling thing UR has ever done to a single clan. Sure mono Roots decks will typically be centered around their host of great 3-stars but you NEED that 5-star to make a life gap and that means you also must play a 2-star. Unfortunately none of the Roots 2-stars are ELO-playable, they're subpar, unthreatening walls at best and if there's anything Roots have plenty of, it's walls.
And while I'm on the subject, the Roots have several other bans going on (the most out of any clan in fact), some of which I can only possibly characterize as "outdated".
For example, why is Lou still banned in the current metagame? XU52 in GHEIST is practically identical to her yet not ELO-banned (or ever chosen to be banned by the players) and by now, a HOST of more powerful 5 stars have been released in various clans across the board.
Even Shakra could be reconsidered IMO although I'll agree a potential 8/6 full stop is nothing to sneeze at.
Ratanah and Kiki Cr...yeah those are banned for a reason.
In short, if anyone reads this, please rate green and if any UR staff see this, please at least allow Arno again. You've literally killed off the entire mono Roots deck with this ban.
Whoa...not worth this much
Ok, the Elo bans started to be really weird. What is the point of banning 2* cards? We can only use them in Elo, or maybe DT if we are playing with low leveled cards. 2* cards are made for Elo, banning them from Elo is the same thing as murdering them!
Rate green if you agree

I'm working on preparing a talk for CUSEC, and I wanted to write down a few things on what I think about when I submit and prepare talks.
I'm pretty new to all of this, but in 2013 I gave talks at PyCon Canada and PyData NYC, as well as local user group meetups like Montreal Python. And a bunch of short presentations at Hacker School. I'm a lot less scared of it than I used to be! It turns out it's kind of fun!
The first order of business when preparing a talk is to convince yourself that public speaking is a good idea and better than hiding under the bed. <!-- more -->
One blog post that really motivated me when I was starting out was this post by Hilary Mason on why introverts should do public speaking. She argues that if you're an introvert, public speaking is an excellent idea because introducing yourself is a lot of work. If you give a talk, you only have to introduce yourself to everyone once.
So far I've found that giving talks improves my experience of a conference a lot. It makes it easier to start conversations! People will come up to me afterwards and we'll have a natural thing to talk about. Also I get a speaker badge which is fun, and sometimes you get in for free.
Another post I find useful when motivating myself is this one by Jen Dzuira on how mediocrity is inspiring. I often worry that my talks won't be as well-put-together and inspiring as the best talks I've ever seen. And they probably won't be!
So I instead try to think about all the talks I've seen that I found boring, or that went over time, or that were badly organized, and remember that I can definitely do better :). And that I have given talks before and people have said nice things to me! Nobody has ever said anything mean, which I take to mean that I am amazing and can do no wrong.
Once I've convinced myself that public speaking is a good idea and that I can do a decent job of it, preparing talks is still hard! I really really really really like this post "Presentation Skills Considered Harmful" from the Serious Pony blog.
You should really just go read it, but she basically points out that people don't care about you, they care about themselves. So it doesn't matter if you're a "good speaker" and have awesome slides and socks that match and perfect diction. All that matters is that you get across information that makes the people you're talking to more awesome.
Things like awesome slides and perfect diction sometimes help you convey information better, but not necessarily! They might get in the way!
This is also a great way to think about conference proposals. I try to explain not "why is this a good talk?", but "if you come to this talk, how will it make you better?"
That is all! I think you should go read those blog posts and adjust your beliefs as follows:
- You should give talks!
- Lots of people have given kinda crappy talks. Yours can be better!
- If you give people something they can use, everybody will love you!
