Students from an advanced placement government and politics class at Chaparral High School won a regional competition on the U.S. Constitution earlier this month.
The competition, sponsored by the Center for Civic Education, is called We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution. It has been held annually since 1987.
Chaparral High School teacher Jeff Kingsberg headed up the team. It defeated three teams from San Diego County to win the Region 10 title on Dec. 18 at Grossmont College in El Cajon.He wrote in an email that it was Chaparral's fifth regional title since 2006, and earned it a spot in the California state finals.
In the competition, each school assembles six teams which prepare four-minute speeches addressing topics such as — what are the historical and philosophical foundations of the American political system? and, what challenges might American democracy face in the 21st century? — and answer questions from judges, Kingsberg stated in an email. The event follows the format of a Congressional hearing.
"Student teams are scored on providing supporting evidence including constitutional application," wrote Kingsberg. Balanced participation is also rewarded, according to Kingsberg.
Next up for the team from Chaparral is the state competition on Feb. 7 and 8 in Bakersfield. The winner of the state championship advances to the national finals, April 25-28 in Fairfax, Va., in suburban Washington, D.C.
Competition in Bakersfield figures to be stiff. Arcadia High School in the San Gabriel Valley won the national title in 2010 and was third last year. Pleasanton Amador Valley High School in the Bay Area was the national runner-up in 2006, 2007 and 2011, and third in 2009.
Chaparral students who participated include Kat Alvarado, Ahmad Baiyasi, Stephanie Baker, Rachel Budd, Rachel Bushrow, Triston Carter, Carina Correo, Brianna Espinosa, Colin Ford, Karissa Frazier, Claire Gatzke, Megan Harless, Juan Herrera, Zachary Hunter, Jake Johnson, Taryn Kelley, Audrey Kelley, Sydney Kingsberg, Haley Knapp, Henry Lee, Michael Lyons, Ali Malik, Sydney Nanton, Kaela Nichols, Avalon Penrose, Morgan Eckel, Lauren Schlansky, Bailey Sprague, Kyle Thomas, Andrew Tran, Zachary Varnam, Martin Verde and Emily Wilcox.
Last month, team member Rachel Budd was named the recipient of a $10,000 college scholarship from Nordstrom.

Food Packages/ Prescriptions
|Use Ctrl + F to search page for keywords or phrases.
|425, 428, 6 months, alternating, beans, breastfeeding, cash, value, child food package, default, food package, fruit/vegetable, infants turning one, maximum, pregnant, printed first date to use, prorated, supplemental foods, remove incomplete, risk factor, WIC category
Cash-Value Benefit Default Amounts and Future Food Packages
The cash-value benefit amount for fruits and vegetables provided to children in their default food package was increased from $6.00 to $8.00 on May 5, 2014. Any current or future food packages created prior to May 5, 2014 will have the incorrect amount of $6.00 since the system will NOT auto-adjust this quantity.
Current food packages for children should be verified to ensure they provide the correct quantity of $8.00. If the current quantity is $6.00 then a new food package will need to be created since food packages with Effective Dates in the past cannot be edited.
Future food packages should also be verified. If the incorrect amount of $6.00 is provided in the food package, you can edit the food package by deleting the current fruit/vegetable food item and adding the fruit/vegetable food item (under the CASH BENEFIT Food Category) back into the food package.
June 2014 HuBERT Hints #2
Increase in Cash Value Benefit for Children Effective Monday, May 5, 2014
Due to changes in the final Food Package Rule, the fruit and vegetable cash value benefits will increase from $6.00 to $8.00. This change will be implemented on the HuBERT back-end and will be available to users on Monday, May 5. Please be sure to Reset Local Reference Data to ensure this change is made.
The increased cash value benefit will be added to the children's Default Food Package. In order for children to receive the increased amount, you will need to create a new food prescription (since prescriptions with Effective Dates in the past cannot be edited). Future food prescriptions can be edited (delete current fruit/vegetable food item and add new fruit/vegetable food item).
April 2014 HuBERT Hints #2
Food Package is Not Removed during the Remove Incomplete Certifications Process (TMP-25)
Description: When an incomplete certification is removed, all items that were created as part of that certification should be removed. The food package(s) created during the Certification Guided Script are not being automatically deleted after an incomplete certification is removed.
What you Should Do: You can delete the food package in the Food Prescription tab of the Participant Folder.Resolution: This issue has been added to the issues queue.
Identified Issues Page - Posted 2/24/14
Alternating Beans - 8 Cans of Beans Will Print on One Benefit
In Release 2.18.06, the ability to alternate canned beans with other bean options was corrected.
However, if the participant receives two dry beans, peas and lentil options and one of those options is canned beans while the other option is alternating canned beans, the system will print all 8 cans of beans on one benefit.
Although there is a maximum of 4 cans per benefit, this maximum is set by individual food item. When alternating, it is considered a different food item so the maximum does not apply for both the single and alternating food items.
From the 2.18.06 Release Document
Pregnant Women Who Are Breastfeeding
Pregnant and Fully-Breastfeeding: Keep mom's breastfeeding certification until her cert ends or she stops fully-breastfeeding since the food package for fully-breastfeeding provides more food than the pregnant food package.
Pregnant and Mostly- or Some-BF: Certify mom as pregnant. If she is still breastfeeding, you can leave the infant as mostly- or some-breastfeeding as appropriate. However, you must delete the link from the infant's folder by removing the checkmark from the On WIC checkbox and saving the changes to the Health Information.
If the link is not deleted: if the baby's Breastfeeding Amount is changed to Non-Breastfeeding and s/he is over 6 months old, the system will terminate mom's current certification (the system only looks for a linked mom to terminate, it does not verify the current WIC Category).
April 2013 HuBERT Hints #1
The (64 oz.) or 4 (14 to 16 oz.) WIC-allowed canned beans food item is going to be made inactive on March 31, 2013. This is due to the fact that 64 oz. cans of beans are not available for purchase.
In November 2012, the (64 oz.) or 4 (14 to 16 oz.) WIC-allowed canned beans food item was removed from any default food packages that included it and the new (14 to 16 oz.) WIC-allowed canned beans food item added.
After March 31, 2013, when issuing benefits, the system will display a message indicating that the food item is inactive if it is still in the participant's current food package. You will need to select the appropriate (14 to 16 oz.) WIC-allowed canned beans food item to be able to issue benefits.
March 2013 HuBERT Hints #3
Explaining Prorated Food Packages to Participants
When issuing benefits "late" to women and children, HuBERT prorates the food package, indicating a "three-quarters", "half" or "one-quarter" food package. However, only the amount of milk is reduced; the other food items are not. CPAs should specifically mention this to participants, informing them of the amount of milk they will receive, and that the amount of other food items is not less.
We suggest not using the terms "half" or "three-quarters" food package with participants since such terms are inaccurate and likely to be confusing. If you have questions, please contact your Nutrition Consultant.
March 2013 HuBERT Hints #3
Can Create Manual Food Package if System Unable to Create Default Food Package
This is a reminder that you can create manual food packages in instances where the Default Food Package (DFP) is not available due to age category changes and you receive the following message:
To create manual food packages, you need to be familiar with the food packages, including the appropriate number of food items (such as two whole grain food items for children). Each food item would then need to be added individually.
To do this:
- Click the Add button;
- Click the Add Food Item button
- Select each food category from the drop-down list; and
- Select the appropriate food item(s)
The system will still base the quantities on the participant's WIC Category, Age Category and Breastfeeding Amount.
We encourage you to always use the DFP because it is a shortcut for food packages that provides the correct number, quantity and food items for a participant. If you need to add a Risk Factor in order to use the DFP, you can assign a "transitional" Risk Factor. For children, this is Risk Factor 425X – Child transitioning to new age category and for infants transitioning from infant to child, this is Risk Factor 428 – Dietary Risk Associated with Complementary Feeding Practices.
January 2013 HuBERT Hints #2
The Previous Food Package Is Viewable in the Certification Guided Script (CGS)
Due to the link that exists between Risk Factors and Food Prescription assignment, the system is unable to default in the previous food package during the CGS. When asked what food items the participant would prefer, they may respond that they want the "same as last time"".
If this occurs, you can easily view the previous food package in the Food Prescription screen of the CGS. The system creates a default food package (DFP) with the current date at the top of the screen. However, it also lists all previous food packages.
To view their most recent food package, simply double-click the date directly below the new DFP (or single-click on the + sign next to the date).
When editing the new DFP if you need to refer back to the previous food package once the Edit Food Prescription window is open, you can move the Edit window so that the Food Prescription screen is viewable. To do this, click on the title bar of the Edit Food Prescription window and drag it to the right.
March 2012 HuBERT Hints #2
Infants Turning One in Next Benefit Issuance - Issuing an Infant vs. Child Food Package
Description: A child's food package will automatically be suggested by the system for the last set of benefits issued to an infant if the following two criteria are met:
- A child's food package exists in the Food Prescription screen with an Effective Date of the infant's first birthday (or between the Printed First Date to Use (PFDTU) and the Last Date to Use)
- The infant's one-year birthday falls between the PFDTU and the LDTU of a set of benefits being issued
Explanation: The system will automatically create a child's food package during the certification process when an infant has a Risk Factor assigned that is applicable to both infants and children. It is up to you, the CPA, to determine whether the child's food package is appropriate to provide at this time. Some examples of when it might not be appropriate include, if the infant:
- Had a low hemoglobin at the Midcert
- Doesn't consume protein or high-iron foods well
- Has special needs
- Just turned 11 months old
What You Should Do: The process for changing a suggested child's food package to an infant's food package, or vice-versa, is relatively simple:
If a CHILD Food Package is suggested and you want to provide an INFANT food package:
- Delete the Child Food Package in the Food Prescription tab
- Issue benefits
If an INFANT Food Package is suggested and you want to provide a CHILD food package:
- Verify the participant has a Risk Factor appropriate for a Child (if not, assign Risk Factor 428)
- Create a Food Package with an Effective Date of the infant's first birthday
- Issue benefits
February 2012 HuBERT Hints #3
Fully-Breastfed Infants Must be 6 Months Old On or Before the Printed First Date to Use to Receive Supplemental Foods
Description: The system will not suggest benefits for fully-breastfeeding infants until the Printed First Date to Use (PFDTU) is greater than the infant's 6-month birthday.
Example #1
- Fully BF Infant
- Cycle = 23rd - 22nd
- Issuance Date = 4/28/2011
System Suggests for Tri-Monthly Issuance:
- Set 1: 5/23/2011-6/22/2011 (May)
- Set 2: 6/23/2011-7/22/2011 (June)
Even though the infant may be older than 6 months on the date the benefits are issued, the PFDTU of the April set is 4/23/2011. Since 4/23 is before 4/27, which is her 6-month birthday, April benefits will not be suggested for this fully-breastfed infant.
Example #2
- Fully BF Infant
- Cycle = 23rd to 22nd
- Issuance Date = 4/18/2011
System Suggests for Tri-Monthly Issuance:
- Set 1: 4/23/2011-5/22/2011
- Set 2: 5/23/2011-6/22/2011
- Set 3: 6/23/2011-7/22/2011
Even though the infant isn't quite 6-months old when the benefits are printed on 4/18 she will be 6-months old by the time the benefits can be used on 4/23/2011. Since the PFDTU of the first set is on 4/23, which is after her 6-month birthday, April benefits will be suggested for this fully-breastfed infant.

US plays big, silent role in Gaza
Though the rockets and bomb blasts are almost 7,000 miles away, the turmoil in Gaza is not far removed from U.S. interests.
In fact, with its economic heft, the U.S., as a seemingly silent superpower, is a larger player in the chaos ensuing now than perhaps either Israel or the Gaza strip.
But as Israel has intensified air strikes and bombs in retaliation to Hamas-launched rockets from Gaza, the U.S. response has spoken as to what side the American taxpayers will be supporting.
While President Barack Obama has said it would be preferable, according to the Associated Press, for violence to not exist, he has consistently defended Israels right to defend itself.
But according to the New York Times, Gaza health officials have reported at least 600 injuries and 70 deaths since Wednesday and Israel has reported 79 injuries and three deaths, the human rights violations being brought upon the people of Gaza by Israel are not things the U.S. should endorse.
While the initial violence of the rocket launch is not condonable, Israels response the response sponsored by the taxpayers of America is certainly not either, and coupled with the history of aggression and blatant disregard of civilian, women and childrens lives, the U.S.s strategic oblivion is one that goes against the very value of democracy that allied Israel with the U.S. in the first place.
Gilad Sharon, the son of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, called for the flattening of Gaza in an op-ed written for the Jerusalem post.
We need to flatten entire neighborhoods in Gaza, he wrote. Flatten all of Gaza. ... There should be no electricity in Gaza, no gasoline or moving vehicles, nothing.
The U.S. has a strong, vested interest in Israel an interest so expansive (and expensive) that it is willing to overlook important aspects of democracy, such as human rights, to secure its own best interest in an utterly undemocratic process.
Israel has received about $115 billion in U.S. aid, and continues to receive about $3 billion a year, making it the largest recipient of U.S. aid since World War II. According to a Congressional Research Report prepared for the U.S. Congress, the Bush administration approved a 10-year, $30 billion package for Israels Foreign Military Financing grant, which Obama has continued.
The very Iron Dome system, the system that has intercepted 245 rockets for Israel since the recent burst of violence, is largely funded by the U.S, which provides an additional $70 million for it per year, according to CNN.
While it is incredible that this technology protects Israeli civilians, does the U.S. government value their lives more than Palestinians?
Though a 2011 Gallup poll found that 63 percent of Americans supported Israel over Palestine, it is worth a closer look as to whether cozying up to Israel solely because of its democratic roots is worth the fiscal and humanitarian costs.
A democracy is not simply electing leaders, and by turning a blind eye to these injustices, the U.S. is further distancing itself from other Middle Eastern nations at a time in which diplomacy is most needed.

you can hear the voices of people from rooms even on the other side of corridor. you can feel some vibrations on the floor sometimes, may be related to the heating system. and well you do not have that much view
The bed was very uncomfortable.
Location,Cleanliness, free Wi-Fi
poor facilities that make the staying of 8 days in this poor room in the hotel to suffer, At least I would expect to find in the hotel a room for variation things, like working with leptop, eating and etc.
Location. Decent neighborhood, quiet side streets but very close to subway.
Few decent hotels on Upper West Side
I liked the cleaness of the room, very quiet hotel, staff was professional all the time, the location was excellent too, they clean my room every day and were very nice
Good location for Central Park
Seemed to have very thin walls, sometimes difficult to sleep at night because of people in corridors and other rooms.
The location.In my opinion upper west side is one of the best places to stay,in order to visit NYC
The rooms were small but it's normal for Manhattan hotels
rooms very small
Location (quiet and safety), Clean, close to the underground
small room if you have more than one luggage for person. Small bed for 2 person. Common problems in budget hotels in NY.
The size of the room is good. There is space to put clothes. The bathroom is also very clean. There was no noise during night time.
Everything was ok.
The hotel is clean, good location, rooms are clean with wifi in the room. Nice reception
Rooms are slightly small, no coffee or tea facilities inside rooms
The most important asset to this hotel was the cleanliness. Enjoyed the location, close to subway, residential area.
The staff was not very friendly, not personable at all. The room was so small that it was uncomfortable.
Location, staff, cleaness
my room was extremelly small.
Location was excellent; One block from the subway. 100 feet from Broadway Staff was accommodating and helpful
Wi-fi was sketchy
Localization Clean room Helpfull staff
Small room Small variety of channels on the TV Small wardrobe
Good deal for a single traveler. Clean, safe. Near A subway line to NYC attractions. Can walk around the corner to broadway to find coffee, restaurants, drug store, etc. Very reasonable price for NYC! Neighborhood felt safe at night.
The room I had was tiny. Not really room to spread out luggage or to organize toiletries, but it worked for my stay. I did see couples who must have made it Work too. I'd definitely stay here again!
Air conditioning was adjustable and the hotel was near the red line subway stop
Cleanliness was bad, there were lots of black hair all around the room. The hotel decided to paint the halllways during our stay and the fumes were awfull, there was no ventilation and it went all in our rooms.
Location (depending on what you want to do in NY) Price (I'm not sure exactly here)
The Wi-Fi is extremely crappy. Reasons (by priority): 1. It regularly tries to hijack into your SSL connections with its own certificates. Security doesn't accept compromises. The rate of such cases was random, at some days I was not able to login to Gmail, some days I could 2. At midnight the password changes, but in fact none of the passwords works, and you have no connection for about half an hour. 3. Low speed The room is actually very tiny, I think the smallest one I've stayed in. WC closet produced some noise at night. I had to splash it a few times to stop it.
Good price. The location is great: Upper West side is nice area and the hotel is very close to subway lines 1-2-3. The room was good for 1 single traveller, but probably too small for 2 people. The bathroom was nice and really clean.
I wish I had more sleep! Staff was really noise and loudly (even at 2 am). Everyday I heard a sustained vacuum cleaner sound from 7 am... these guys really know how to maintain clean the corridor! Ear plugs should be provided to every customers.
I liked how clean it was. The room was nicely furnished. It looked like they just updated their looks. They did a great job.
I only didn't like the small room. My son is 14 and is huge, at 5'10" Just need to leave the small rooms for single people.
My flight in to NY was delayed and didn't get to hotel until midnight. They didn't save a handicapped room for me. It took 2 days to get into a handicapped room. Circumstance provided great difficulty and frustration. The last 2 days of my stay were fine in the appropriate room.
Need new pillows!
While the room was small, it was certainly adequate as a place to sleep and get a shower.
location, hotel services for hostel prices, friendly staff, clean rooms
lots of noise from the corridor - noisy cleaning staff, no isolation of door (light, noise), no window (window into a wall :-)
Location near station 86

5 Tasks for Implementing ISO 13485
Published: September 25th, 2013
In a recent blog post on Medical Device Academy, Brigid Glass shares "12 Important Tasks for Implementing ISO 13485."
I've listed five of her twelve tasks to include into your plan.
|Stephanie Wiseman
- Select a certification body and schedule your certification audits (i.e., Stage 1 and Stage 2). If you want to place devices on the market in the EU, Japan, or Canada, make sure your certification body meets the specific regulatory requirements for that market.
- Document training on the procedures comprising the quality system. A signed form indicating that employees [have] "read and understand" the procedures is not enough. Training records should include evidence of effectiveness of training, and you should be able to demonstrate competency of the people performing those procedures.
- You must complete at least one full quality system internal audit. Timing of your internal audit should be late enough in the quality plan… that most elements of your quality system have been implemented. However, you want to allow enough time to initiate CAPAs in response to internal audit findings before your Stage 1 audit. If your internal auditor(s) have been heavily involved in the implementation of the quality system, you may need to hire an external consultant to perform your first internal audit.
- You need to complete at least one management review, which can be done just before the Stage 1 audit. My preference, if there is time, is to have at least two management reviews. The first review might occur three months before the Stage 1 audit, just before you plan to perform an internal audit of the management processes. There may be limited data to review at that time, but this first review provides an opportunity to train top management on their roles and responsibilities during a management review.
- If product design is within the scope of your QMS, which is typical of legal manufacturers, but not for contract manufacturers, then you must establish a design control procedure(s). Product development projects often operate in a time frame that is longer than your implementation project, and you may need ISO 13485 certification as part of the regulatory approval process.
Make sure you check out Glass's complete list.
Do any of these surprise you? Are any often neglected in your ISO 13485 plan?

Fossil Creek is a perennial river in central Arizona, located near the community of Strawberry. The headwaters of the creek begin at Fossil Springs, a rare and powerful spring in Arizona, which produces upwards of one million gallons of water per hour.
Fossil Creek first appeared on maps in Arizona dating to the 1860s, although its discovery was likely much earlier, due to trapper activity in the region. Arizona Territory's first governor, John Noble Goodwin, passed through the region in the 1860s, at which time the creek was already known by its present name due to abundant "petrifications" along the stream bed. This rock formation, now known as travertine, is caused by high levels of calcium carbonate in the water, which causes large, fossil-like rock growth.
