Computer Network Policy
Internet, E-Mail, and Computer Network Safety Policy
For Students of the Newton Public Schools
The Newton Public School (NPS) system offers Internet access to its students at all levels. Access to the school computer network and to Internet and e-mail services is a privilege, not a right. The intent of this policy is to ensure that students utilize this access in a responsible manner consistent with the purpose of providing these services.
The Internet is a vast, global network linking computers around the world. Internet use provides valuable opportunities for research, curriculum support, and career development. The Newton Public Schools computer network exists solely for educational purposes, which are defined as classroom activities, career and professional development and high quality self-discovery activities of an educational nature. The NPS computer network is not a resource intended for use as a public forum or for any purpose that is not directly related to the delivery of educational services. The NPS system reserves the right to place reasonable limits on materials posted or accessed through its computer network.
Because of its enormous size, the Internet's potential is without boundaries. With such great possibilities for education also comes the potential for abuse. Members of the Newton Public Schools community are responsible for good behavior on school computer networks just as they are in a classroom or school building. General school rules for behavior and communications apply. Access to network services will be provided to those who act in a considerate and responsible manner.
The Newton Public Schools will make every reasonable effort to minimize the risk that users will encounter objectionable material on the Internet. Through education, supervision and responsible use, the Newton Public Schools believe that the Internet can be used safely and effectively. However, there is no absolute guarantee that this will happen.
The Newton Public Schools believes that the benefits to students from access to information resources and the opportunity for collaboration available through the Internet exceed any potential disadvantages. However, the parents and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using media and information sources. To that end, the Newton Public Schools respects each family's right to decide whether or not their child will have access to the Internet and electronic mail at school.
In order for a member of the Newton Public Schools Community to use the computer network, s/he must read the following guidelines and sign the User Contract. For users under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must sign the User Contract.
Network access is a privilege, not a right. The use of the network must be consistent with, and directly related to, the educational objectives of the Newton Public Schools.
Violations of this Internet Safety Policy include, but are not limited to, the following conduct:
- Revealing personal information such as last names, addresses, telephone numbers, photographs, etc. that could identify the user or other students.
- Revealing one's password to anyone else, using anyone else's password, or pretending to be someone else when sending information over the computer network. (Passwords and IDs are provided for each user's personal use only and should not be shared with anyone.)
- Using profane, vulgar, threatening, defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, harassing or otherwise objectionable or criminal language in a public or private message.
- Violating copyright laws. (Users should assume that all materials available on the Internet are protected by copyright.)
- Sending "chain letters" or "broadcast" messages to lists or individuals or subscribing to "listserves" or "newsgroups" without prior permission.
- Seeking, accessing, or downloading material that is not relevant to assignments or course work.
- Using the computer network for recreational purposes or activities relating to personal hobbies. For example, accessing "chat rooms" is prohibited, and games must not be played, accessed, or downloaded.
- Participating in other types of use which would cause congestion of the network or interfere with the work of others.
- Attempting to harm, modify or destroy data of another user.
- Distributing or intentionally accessing materials that are obscene, sexually explicit, or without redeeming educational value.
- Attempting to gain unauthorized access to system programs or computer equipment, including attempts to override any firewalls established on the network.
- Vandalizing school computers by causing physical damage, reconfiguring the computer system, or destroying data.
- Failing to log off the computer network at the request of system administrators.
- Using the Newton Public Schools technology network for political campaigning purposes, including attempts to influence ballot questions or to promote or oppose a candidate for public office.
- Using the Newton Public Schools technology network for commercial purposes. Users may not create web pages or use network services to advertise or sell products or services and may not offer, provide, or purchase products or services through the Newton Public Schools network.
- Using the network in a manner that would violate any U.S. or state law or subject the user or the Newton Public Schools to any civil or criminal action. This includes, but is not limited to, the transmission of threatening material, the spreading of computer viruses, participating in software piracy, using the Newton Public Schools technology network for gambling, or arranging for the sale or purchase of drugs or alcohol.
- Receiving or transmitting information pertaining to dangerous instruments such as bombs or other explosive devices, automatic weapons or other firearms, or other weaponry.
The Newton Public Schools assumes no responsibility for:
- Any financial obligations arising out of unauthorized use of the system.
- Any cost, liability or damages caused by a user's violation of these guidelines.
- Any information or materials that are transferred through the network.
- The reliability of the data connection. The Newton Public Schools shall not be liable for any loss or corruption of data resulting while using the network.
- A student's illegal distribution (pirating) of software.
If a user finds materials that are inappropriate while using the Newton Public Schools technology network, s/he shall refrain from downloading this material and shall not share the material with other students.
Should a user encounter any material that s/he feels may constitute a threat against the safety of fellow students, staff members or the property of the Newton Public Schools, that user is obligated to report his/her discovery of such material to a teacher or to his/her principal.
You must immediately disclose to your teacher any message that you receive that you believe is inappropriate or that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Internet and email messages are public communication and are not private. Electronic mail messages and other use of electronic resources by students are the property of the Newton Public Schools and should not be considered confidential. Copies of all information created, sent or retrieved are stored on the computer network's back-up files.
While the Newton Public Schools does not plan to review cache files or back-up files on a regular basis, it reserves the right to access and monitor all messages and files on the computer system as it deems necessary and appropriate in the ordinary course of its business. These purposes include, but are not limited to, ensuring proper use of resources and conducting routine network maintenance. Network storage areas will be treated like school lockers that may be inspected at anytime. Where appropriate,communication including text and images may be disclosed to law enforcement or other third parties without prior consent of the sender or receiver.
A violation of the terms of this Internet Safety Policy may result in suspension or termination of network access privileges (other than directly supervised access during classroom instruction) and may also result in other disciplinary action consistent with the disciplinary policies of the Newton Public Schools and could also result in criminal prosecution where applicable.
In the event that there is a claim that a student has violated any of the guidelines in this policy, s/he will be provided with written notice of the suspected violation and an opportunity to be heard.
The Newton Public Schools will cooperate fully with local, state, and federal law enforcement officials in any investigation relating to any illegal activities conducted through the Newton Public Schools computer network.

Exhaustive Keyword Research – Your Key To SEO Success
When we do keyword research, nothing gets by us. NOTHING. We find the words people are searching for and the competition doesn't use.
The things that keep people up at night and how they try to find solutions to their problems online – well, that's our stock in trade.
We start with your ideas – hear what YOU think your prospects will be searching for. And then we delve in. Our tools are subscription based as well as Google- provided. All together we use 5 different tools in our advanced SEO services ('Cranking Package') – to be SURE we've looked at seasonality, locality, recency and the open opportunities.
Your 'seed words' turn into our 'flower garden'. We find synonyms to the words you expect to rank for. Then we brainstorm. What terms do your online competitors rank for? How do they describe their services and products?
We consider jargon and technical terminology, lingo, and how people would really put things. Like saying 'car dealer' vs 'auto dealer'.
Showing You The FACTS About Your Market—The Numbers
Then we run the numbers. And they are ALWAYS illuminating. You learn so much from discovering exactly how people search for things that you offer.
As well as things you don't offer.
A couple of our clients have found new products and services they could bring to market because of the keyword research we share with them.
A counseling service had focused their offerings to relationships between teens and their parents – but had not known that stepmothers and stepfathers were searching by the score for help with their 'new' teens. That became a new service for them to provide –step parent and teen counseling. Who knew!
We Found That Golden Google Nugget.
We research everything related to a client's business and relevant keywords. If they are a pizza parlor, we research and categorize results by gluten, by pie, by quick meal, by tomato-based food, by pepperoni, by frozen versus fresh, by store bought or delivered. The gamut.
Then we provide a workbook which has tabs on every topic, with hundreds if not thousands of words and phrases prioritized in advance for the client to consider. IF they are relevant and have a strong likelihood of being pivotal – that is: low supply and HIGH demand – we'll say as a team: Let's make that a 'money' or 'mantra' phrase.
Use it and the 20 or so others we settle upon, in everything you do. Not just your website, but on your blog, in your e-newsletter, with press releases, in directory listings, on local maps, in videos, on sell sheets and bios – EVERYWHERE.
In Advanced SEO Services, Keyword Research Is The Clincher
Without dynamite keyword research, you can't have dynamite SEO. Period.
No one can beat our comprehensiveness – and no one takes the care to spread their 'word nets' as wide as we do. But they really should. It's the words that people use that bring your site up on Page One when they're in Google – searching in the middle of the night – or in broad daylight on their cell phone.
They have given you the exact clue to what they want. All you have to do is be the business whose website comes up when they show their verbal cards.
Simple. Right? But the elegance is in the keyword research. Getting rankings is about finding pivotal phrases and using them carefully on topical pages in your website.
Wouldn't you like to have that sort of competitive advantage – TO KNOW the exact words that people are using to buy a service that both you and your competitor provide?
Here is an example of the exhaustive SEO keyword research we do. Prepare to be amazed. (*)

Rolled Over Euromillion Jackpot Sees Ticket Sales Soar
The Euromillions draw tonight, Friday 20th July 2012, has an estimated jackpot of €100 / £79 million thanks to it rolling over a massive eight times. Soaring ticket sales are expected to add to this already impressive jackpot, as players from all over Europe race to get their tickets in time to be within a chance of winning this life changing prize. But will any of the tickets sold match those six numbers and result in that jackpot being claimed? Or will it roll for a ninth time?
The last time a Euromillions was won was on the 19th June 2012, when the jackpot of €15 / £12.1 million was won by a single ticket holder from Portugal. Since then, there have been no jackpot winners, which has sent the prize fund rolling over draw after draw to this week, when it is estimated to reach an impressive €100 / £79 million.
Ticket sales always rise when jackpots are multiple rollovers, and this draw is expected to be no exception. Make sure you get your ticket in plenty of time, as the deadline for buying tickets is 7.30pm GMT, and you wouldn't want to get caught in a queue at the newsagents and miss the deadline! Alternatively, you can buy tickets online using a Lottery Concierge Service, where you can pick your numbers or opt for a Quick Pick option, ensuring that your tickets are bought instantly.
As well as the convenience of the instant purchase, Lottery Concierge Services will also store your numbers and inform you of any wins, which means you don't have to worry about losing your ticket and having no record of your numbers.
However you decide to buy your tickets for tonight's Euromillions, one thing is for certain – the only way to be in with a chance is to play, and with a potential €100 / £79 million at stake, can you afford not to?

Madapolam is a soft cotton fabric manufactured from fine yarns with a dense pick laid out in linen weave. Linen weave is the simplest and thickest interlaced, reversible basic weave, in which the appearance of the face and back of the woven fabric is the same. Its smallest repeat is 2/2, where two warp and two weft threads are interlaced alternately and is used in many types of fabric.[1] Madapolam is used in embroidery, the production of handkerchiefs and as a base fabric in cloth printing.[2][3] The weave pattern is useful because the equal warp and weft means the tensile strength and shrinkage is the same in any two directions at right angles and because the fabric absorbs liquids such as ink, paint and aircraft dope equally along its X and Y axes.
It was famously used as the covering for the de Havilland Mosquito[4] a pioneer of monocoque aircraft airframe construction and in other aircraft, tautened and stiffened with aircraft dope.[5]
"Madapollam" is the name of a village near Narsapur, West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh, India where the British had a cloth factory.

First of several mooted Hendrix movies gets the green light
Jimi Hendrix is to be played by OutKast's André 3000 in a new biopic. Despite a prior dispute with the guitarist's estate, the movie will reportedly begin shooting in Ireland later this month.
To the surprise of many industry observers, All Is By My Side is currently in pre-production, the Irish Film and Television Network reports. André 3000 will spend six weeks at locations in Bray, Dun Laoghaire and Dublin, including the historic John Player Cigarette Factory. The film is to be directed by Three Kings writer John Ridley, who also wrote the screenplay, and deals with Hendrix's breakthrough in 1966, when he was discovered in a New York club by Linda Keith, then girlfriend of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
Several studios have tried to make Hendrix-related films over the last few years, including a failed project by Paul Greengrass. The Hendrix estate blocked all of these, refusing to license the late musician's songs. Either now they have had a change of heart, or Ridley's film isn't going to use any Hendrix songs.
"Everybody wants to do the movie, but there are so many things that go into a biopic," André told MTV in 2008. "It's kinda like, until you are on set doing it you can't say what's going on."
André 3000, real name André Benjamin, has appeared in a handful of films, including Guy Ritchie's Revolver and the 2006 OutKast musical Idlewild. Earlier this year, the rapper claimed to be working on his first solo album.

The Challenge of Finishing Posts
Those who read ZD regularly have doubtless noticed that we're not always the best at consistently publishing new material. This is probably due to a number of life factors, such as family, work, and academic obligations, or the need to watch entire seasons of television shows from Netflix. But whatever else may lie behind our periodic post droughts, the problem does not seem to be a lack of ideas. The following is a recent screenshot (posted with the permission of my co-bloggers) of the ZD queue:
Some of these titles have been languishing here nearly as long as our blog has been in existence, and their authors may or may not remember that they're there. Some are just titles or brief phrases, while others have multiple paragraphs written. But once posts fall into the black hole that is our post queue, it's far from certain that they'll ever emerge again.
I notice that I have a tendency in many areas of my life to start something new with enthusiasm, only to run out of steam halfway through and get diverted by another exciting idea or project. And I find that starting posts is frequently more fun–and easier–than finishing them. Also, while I enjoy blogging (obviously), I have to be in the right mood, the right mental space, to do it; sometimes I start things while feeling talkative, and then abandon them when I'm feeling quieter. (Not to mention that even after two years of doing this, I still find it a bit nerve-wracking to click on the "publish" button.)
I'm curious as to how others manage their blogging. Do you generally finish the posts you start, or do you have lots of half-written posts lying around?
[Full disclosure: I started this particular post over a year ago, in March 2007.]
- 7 April 2008
23 Responses to "The Challenge of Finishing Posts"
Holy crap, that's a lotta drafts. BCC's not THAT bad (although Aaron Brown has a ton of drafts).
Haha. This is awesome, Lynnette. And I thought I was bad at leaving drafts half-written.
Those post titles are fascinating. It would sure be interesting to be a fly on the wall in the ZD database, and read all of these posts ahead of time.
I always thought I had the problem you describe until I read this post. Now I feel better about the number of unfinished posts I have lying around.
Yeah, mind if we steal some of those?
That's wild. I want to read, "What Profanity Means to People Like Me."
Do you take requests? I'd like somebody to finish "Sister Looneytunes and the Church of the Freakycult," please.
I'll send this comment when I get around to fin
For whoever has started them, here is my vote for some that should be finished post haste:
Is Pronunciation a Moral Decision?
Why I Am Not Crunchy
Stuffed Animals and the Transmigration of Souls
Also, whoever started "Are Men Better than Women?" doesn't need to finish that post because someone has already started on the answer "Men are Bad" and there seems to be a related post "Men's Stunning Incapacity for Abstract Thought."
Ardis, that's a great idea! Perhaps we should put up a poll every so often with a current post queue screenshot and ask what title sounds the most interesting. Then the author of the winner could be pestered into finishing that post, and the whole process could be repeated. It would be a big unwieldy pain, but it might succeed in getting more posts finished.
I confess that I'm with you (and Eric) in wanting to read others' half-finished posts that sound interesting.
good one Ardis!
Something I find entertaining is to look this over and guess which ZD is responsible for which post draft. (I'm fairly certain that "Sister Looneytunes," for example, is Eve.)
"Men Are Bad," hmm. I guess we're not beating around the bush on that one! Maybe that could be followed by "Confessions of a Secret Misogynist."
Oh, man, you're killing me here! All these fabulous post titles – and the posts just out of reach! You torment me with the tantalizing idea of all these posts, while withholding the goods! Finish them all as fast as you can! That's my request.
p.s. I think the one I need is "Are you an internet addict?"
Kristine posted a draft by accident on BCC, "When Modesty…Isn't." It showed up in the LDSelect feed, but the link took me to an error 404 page.
Aha! I thought. The patriarchs at BCC have suppressed Kristine! Ready to join in sisterly commiseration, I asked, "So, where's your post?"
"It was just a draft I posted by mistake," she replied.
Humph. She burst my conspiracy bubble. And she STILL hasn't finished the post.
Lynnette, were you logged in as yourself when you took these screen shots? Because my drafts always show up as mine, and others show up as others. And there are no drafts here labeled "your drafts."
OK, I hereby confess that both "What Profanity Means to People Like Me" and "Sister Loonytunes of the Church of Freakycult" are mine. In the vain hope that someday I'll get around to finishing, I won't say more, except that Kiskilili recommended I change the first title to "What Profanity Means to People Like Me, Damn It" and "Sister Loonytunes of the Church of Freakycult" is–or with luck may one day be–a reflection on my mission.
Good question, Ann. I actually logged into the ZD Admin account to do this, so that my posts would be lumped in with everyone else's.
(Though I should perhaps confess that I wanted more ability to organize my drafts, so I've started composing them in Word instead. Many of those titles are here, but not all–so in other words, the situation is even worse than it looks.)

Definitions for diabetes mellitusˈmɛl ɪ təs
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word diabetes mellitus
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
diabe′tes mel′li•tusˈmɛl ɪ təs(n.)
either of two chronic forms of diabetes in which insulin does not effectively transport glucose from the bloodstream: a rapidly developing form, affecting children and young adults, in which the body does not produce enough insulin and insulin must therefore be injected
Category: Pathology
Ref: ( juvenile-onset diabetes ); ( adult-onset diabetes ).
Origin of diabetes mellitus:
< NL: lit., sweet diabetes
Princeton's WordNet
diabetes mellitus, DM(noun)
diabetes caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin and characterized by polyuria
"when doctors say `diabetes' they usually mean `diabetes mellitus'"
diabetes mellitus(Noun)
A medical disorder characterized by varying or persistent hyperglycemia, especially after eating.
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus. ⁕Type 1 DM results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and currently requires the person to inject insulin or wear an insulin pump. This form was previously referred to as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" or "juvenile diabetes". ⁕Type 2 DM results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. This form was previously referred to as non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or "adult-onset diabetes". ⁕The third main form, gestational diabetes occurs when pregnant women without a previous diagnosis of diabetes develop a high blood glucose level. It may precede development of type 2 DM. Other forms of diabetes mellitus include congenital diabetes, which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion, cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids, and several forms of monogenic diabetes.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Diabetes Mellitus
A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.

OBJECT OF THE MONTH – June 2007
Otto Gutfreund (3 August 1889 – 2 June 1927), Feather Strippers, 1922
At the beginning of his career he was strongly influenced by Cubism, through which he gave a more distinct expression to his reliefs, free-standing sculptures and preparatory drawings, of which he made a great number during his life. After the end of the First World War and his return to what was then Czechoslovakia, he inclined towards the ideas of the New Objectivity movement and Social Civilism. This small sculpture of women stripping feathers is a good example of Gutfreund's work from this period.

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.Rabindranath Tagore
Let me light my lamp", says the star, "And never debate if it will help to remove the darknessRabindranath Tagore
We believe that mere movement is life, and that the more velocity it has, the more it expresses vitality.Rabindranath Tagore
Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions are our limitations.Rabindranath Tagore
To the guests that must go, bid God's speed and brush away all traces of their steps.Rabindranath Tagore
This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which is his soul; the key with which he opens the gate of the spiritual life, the heavenly kingdom.Rabindranath Tagore
The tragedy of human life consists in our vain attempts to stretch the limits of things which can never become unlimited, to reach the infinite by absurdly adding to the rungs of the ladder of the finite.Rabindranath Tagore
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.Rabindranath Tagore
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever.Rabindranath Tagore
Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.Rabindranath Tagore
If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the starsRabindranath Tagore
The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside.Rabindranath Tagore

Learn about Using Flash Diffusers and Reflectors
When you have a dedicated flash unit, adding some accessories can help you can get the most out of it, resulting in even more creative and artistic photos. Like nearly every other piece of photographic equipment, a flash unit has accessories that go with it to enhance the effects. The following items will help modify the flash, and avoid problems in your photos, such as harsh or unattractive lighting. Flash accessories give you subtle, but highly effective means to change the quality, direction and photographic effects of your standard flash.
A great accessory for your flash is a bouncer, a nifty little attachment that fits on to your dedicated flash unit. As the name suggests, bouncers bounce the flash's light output at the subject. The bounced light is softer than the direct light from the flash, so if you find the light from a flash unit unduly harsh, then use the flash bouncer to soften and diffuse the light. In addition, you can be creative and place a segment of color on the bouncer and cast a pastel light on to your subject. You'll want to use a flash bouncer when you recognize that the light directly from the flash is going to be too harsh and flatten out the contours on your subject. The bouncer will reflect the powerful output from the flash off the ceiling (or rear wall) and elevate the ambient light in the room. It's best to use the bouncer when you're inside and the ceilings aren't too low.
These are semi-opaque attachments that fit directly on or in front of the flash head. They're like mini-soft boxes (devices that diffuse, soften and disperse the light from a lamp) except they're made for your flash unit. The diffuser scatters the light from the flash, so it no longer comes from a single, focused source. Diffusers allow for more controlled and less contrasted direct illumination from the flash unit, thereby eliminating the harsh light and softening the shadows inherent with flash photography. With diffusers, photographs have a more natural look and feel. The flash diffuser won't affect your photos if you choose to shoot vertically, because of the manner in which the diffuser splinters the light. Flash diffusers are great for quick portraits (when you don't have time or didn't bring actual photo lighting), weddings and other large events where you'll be taking a lot of photos and don't want to blind people with the flash.
Flash Reflectors are very similar to Flash Bouncers, in that they fit on your flash unit and reflect the light at your subject. Usually a reflector has a shiny surface such as silver or gold with the same light-affecting qualities that we discussed earlier. The Flash Reflector spreads the effects of the flash around the room, and works to soften the light hitting the subject. Flash reflectors are useful in many situations where you know direct flash is objectionable, but you still want that illuminating power.
These flash accessories have one main objective to reduce or eliminate the harsh lighting effects from a flash unit. There are some circumstances where you can't get away without a flash, but you know that using a flash will compromise the quality of your images. These attachments enable you to shoot with the flash while avoiding the drawbacks associated with using a flash. In addition, you can get create artistic effects with these flash accessories that can make your flash photographs much more interesting.

When Arizona State University's Language Learning Laboratories closed for renovations back in 1992, teachers had two options: they could require students take home audio and video material (hard to keep track of), or they could conduct makeshift language labs in classrooms.
While the classroom-as-lab idea was a good one, at a school that offers 45 sections of Spanish 101 alone, the thought (as well as the expense) of people wheeling around cartloads of delicate equipment was worrisome. The labs' renovation team concluded a much better solution would be a system that could send video and data from a central, safe source directly to the classroom.
With funding from the university, the renovation team organized a pilot outreach program in a single classroom. Their system consisted of a direct hard-wired link from a projector mounted in the room's ceiling to a PC (stored in a locked closet when not in use) with an Ethernet connection to a multimedia computer located in the labs' control room.
The system worked as planned, but Peter Lafford, director of the Language Computing Lab, and his colleagues agreed that to build and install such a system in additional classrooms was "more trouble than we wanted to have."
Lafford comments: "Systems had already been designed. Why reinvent the wheel?" He did not have to look far for what they needed. In November 1992, the ASU team was invited by Chambers Electronic Communications, a Ph'enix reseller, to see an exciting new audiovisual distribution system.
Lafford and his colleagues were impressed with what they saw on that first and subsequent visits. The product -- the Ranger Media Management System, created by the Rauland-Borg Corp. of Skokie, Ill. -- struck them as highly versatile, easy-to-use, safe and practical.
Ranger allows classroom instructors to access a number of video and data sources -- videotapes, videodiscs, still video, CD-i, satellite, cable, live and closed-circuit programming, CD-ROMs and the Internet. All resources could be accessed by touching a few buttons on a wall panel, remote control or computer.
The system, housed in a rack, would be located in the Language Learning Laboratories' control room; and the computers to access it could be kept in locked closets in the individual classrooms. Ranger could also be expanded by adding additional equipment.
Towards the end of 1993, Chambers agreed to provide the central control system for Ranger on evaluation for six months, so Lafford and his colleagues could test it out and make sure they were satisfied. They were.
Today, more than a year since its official debut, the Ranger system at ASU's Language Learning Laboratories can access five VCRs, two videodisc players, a CD-i player, and a video floppy player. It works in conjunction with two multimedia computers via ReachOut remote-access software (Stac, Inc., Carlsbad, Calif.) to access data and distributes these resources to nine locations throughout the building.
The Ranger system also provides access to live satellite TV programming, such as foreign news broadcasts, as well as to the school's Language Lab Channel and a new high-tech Audio/Video Studio across the hall. The software for controlling the media center is run on a Dell 486 DX2-50 computer (with 8MB RAM and 250MB hard drive).
Although some teachers found the Ranger a bit intimidating at first, they had little problem adapting thanks to orientations and workshops conducted throughout the school year. To reserve media equipment, teachers simply place a call to the lab and tell an assistant what they want, their room location and the time.
To stop, rewind, or fast-forward the source, the teacher presses a few buttons on the classroom computer's monitor. When finished, one follows a few more instructions to shut the system down.
Looking to the future, Lafford would like to see even more people use the mediated classrooms. He is currently working with Chambers and Rauland to install the scheduling software on their new Windows NT network, so teachers can schedule resources from any networked computer in the Language and Literature Building. (Currently the scheduling software is only on the language lab's central multimedia computer.)
Lafford and company are also looking into installing lesson-planning software on the network so that teachers can create innovative, interactive lesson plans using the Ranger.

Andy Murray has called for tennis to improve its drug testing procedure in the wake of the recent doping scandals which have blighted the sporting world.
Last month Lance Armstrong admitted that he doped to win the Tour de France, while Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes has admitted to having a client base which included athletes from several sports at his ongoing trial in Madrid.
And Murray believes tennis needs to tighten up its doping controls and perform more blood tests on players in order to prevent the use of banned substances and methods.
"It's easy when you're growing up to think that something like that wouldn't go on in your sport," the British No 1 told Sky Sports News.
"But we need to make sure that tennis is as clean as possible and that's by changing the way we are doing the testing."
In 2008 cycling implemented the biological passport, which builds a blood profile of competitors and tracks any suspicious spikes in values.
Murray would like to see tennis bring in the passport but realises such a project comes with financial obstacles.
"Ideally people would be getting tested every other week but it's not cheap," the US Open and Olympic champion added.
"I've been on the tour for seven or eight years - I don't know what's gone on in the past and whether it's complacency or whether it's purely a cost thing (as to why more tests are not being performed).
"We need to get it sorted now, I think it's the right time to do it. We can't focus on the past, we (have to) look forward and ask, 'what can we do to make tennis the cleanest sport that it can be'."

Quinsigamond, a double-turreted monitor, was laid down by the Boston Navy Yard in 1864, but work on her was suspended 30 November 1865. Renamed Hercules 15 June 1869, she was again renamed, Oregon, 10 August the same year. Built with improperly seasoned timber, and left exposed to rot, the ship, still on the stocks, was broken up in 1884.

The Ryanair Chase was added to the festival back in 2005 and the race has been a welcome addition for me. The intermediate trip of two miles five furlongs gives top class chasers, who find two miles too sharp and three miles plus too taxing, an out in a quality event.
A really tough second day at the Cheltenham Festival and we'll need plenty of luck to make a few quid. I'm not as strong on today's picks as I was yesterday, but with a bit of luck we can show a profit or break even for the day.
The presence of Sprinter Sacre means eight other entries have been received for the 2013 Queen Mother Champion Chase. Odds of 2-7, best priced, can be obtained about the "Black Aeroplane" while he's as short as 1-5 with a number of bookmakers. Those prices tell you all you need to know about Nicky Henderson's sexy stable star.
The Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle has a pristine roll of honour that includes some of the greats of National Hunt racing. A race for young, up and coming types it's been a stepping stone on to bigger and better things, for hurdlers and chasers.
A mouth-watering race is once again in store in the 2013 Arkle Novice Chase. A race down the years, on paper, has always delivered. In action, it's rarely disappointed. No better sight in jumps racing will you see than top two mile chasers, racing at speed jumping proper fences.
Here's hoping, but it's already shaping up to be a superior Champion Hurdle this coming March than the previous year. A number of horses look to have returned to form, some are back from injury and as ever, we have the young pretenders hoping to step-up and challenge their elders.
The four day festival bonanza, as ever, will kick off with the Supreme Novices' Hurdle on the Tuesday. Historically a hugely competitive race finding the winner in the opener is tough, but if nabbed it could be the start of an excellent four days. A big field is nearly guaranteed which should add to the tension and action.
Al Ferof
A horse who was written off by plenty coming into the season, but bounced right back to form when winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup off 159. It was a huge performance in one of the year's most competitive handicaps. He gave the 2012 RSA fifth, Walk On, 14 pounds and a three length beating. It was a monster effort. Last season started off in good style winning a Grade Two at Cheltenham before winning the Grade One King Henry VIII at Sandown, beating For Non Stop (distance flattered the second) who has given the form a solid look.
Art Of Logistics
I'm very much still learning in this game and so may be wrong here, but I'm not sure I've heard Dessie Hughes ever really talk-up a horse of his in bold terms. He did with this well-bred son of Exit To Nowhere however, when the four-year-old won his bumper at the small track of Roscommon.
1.30 Cheltenham – Supreme Novices' Hurdle
As ever the Supreme will be met by the famous Cheltenham roar as these two mile novices kick off the four day festival. A current theme in recent years has been short priced favourites being turned over so many will be out to get the 2013 hotpot, My Tent Or Yours. That said very few favourites have come into the race with as high a rating as him. All his form has been on flat tracks, but I see no reason why this classy sort shouldn't handle Cheltenham.
Balder Succes
Still a little bit of an unknown quantity even after his recent third to Zarkandar in the Elite Hurdle. He's not in the same class as Zarkandar, but if kept to the right races in soft conditions he'll prove competitive. The key to this horse could well be soft ground. Genuinely soft should be perfect for him and the times we saw him last year with plenty give underfoot he was convincing on a number of occasions.
1.30 Cheltenham – Jewson Novice Chase
We've got a real hot Jewson this year with a whole host of potential stars going to post. Cristal Bonus must have a strong chance given his current well-being. We're not sure what his form adds up to yet, but he's done everything so easy. He is a fantastic jumper and coming from Ditcheat, he is sure to be well prepared for this test. Champion Court has long been a fancy for this race.

Copeland Furniture deeply values preservation and stewardship of natural resources. Some of their commitments include:
- Using sustainably harvested hardwoods from the American Northern Forest
- Using only lumber from within 500 miles of their factory, using less fossil fuel in transportation
- Working with the SmartWood program of the Rainforest Alliance (wood solely from forests that are not threatened, not in significant need of conservation, and contain no GMO trees)
- Maintaining FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification
- Making water-based finishes available on most of their furniture, with the benefit of drastically reduced VOC emissions and less off-gassing at the customers' homes
- Creating durable, heirloom-quality furniture that will be able to be handed down through generations
- Reducing packaging material, and recycling all packaging waste
- Heating the factory completely with wood waste from manufacturing, in order to reduce consumption of imported oil
In 1976, Copeland Furniture began bringing solid hardwood furniture to market through retail partners that shared their passion for timeless design and unparalleled quality. Since then, they've grown from a one-man shop to a family-owned and operated business that is one of the largest employers in Bradford, Vermont. Copeland has built a brand that's known for honesty, integrity, and fairness. Their growing line of products continue to reflect traditional craftsmanship values and evolving market demands.
Today Copeland Furniture manufactures a full line of bedroom, dining room and home office furniture. Designs range from transitional to highly contemporary. Diverse design influences include Arts and Crafts, Asian Design, Shaker Furniture, Scandinavian Design and the architecture and environment of Copeland's home state, Vermont.
Preservation and stewardship are values that run deep in Vermont. They run deep at Copeland Furniture too. Their commitment to sustainability is reflected in the furniture they design and manufacture. They know that our environment is, in many ways, very fragile, and that we are the beneficiaries of the strong stewardship ethic practiced and passed down by those who went before us. It is Copeland Furniture's hope that the next generation appreciates their stewardship and is inspired to continue the tradition.

Near Hatay in southern Turkey, the site of a deadly landslide in the area is marked in red.
ANKARA, Turkey -- An official says a landslide triggered by heavy rains has killed at least five people near Turkey's border with Syria.
Gov. Celalettin Lekesiz said the landslide, which struck early Friday, demolished six hillside houses near the town of Dortyol in the border province of Hatay. At least 12 people were hurt.
The private Dogan news agency said the victims included an elderly man and woman and their two grandchildren who were buried beneath their collapsed home.
The government's disaster management agency said at least nine people were rescued by helicopters dispatched to the area.
Turkey is frequently hit by deadly landslides that are triggered by torrential rains.

Quoted from Averno
I believe we're instructed to keep fats away from Trehalose. I thought I read that on the Membrosia thread.
Quoted from santina
after reading this"Because of its potent healing qualities you don't need much. Dr. Lad states in his book Textbook of Ayurveda General Principles of Management and Treatment that if one teaspoon or less is eaten per meal, ghee can actually help to increase HDL, the good cholesterol. Some additional reasons to use ghee when preparing your food are:• Digestion (helps absorb and assimilate nutrients)• Improves memory• Helps increase flexibility by lubricating the connective tissues• Carries the medicinal properties of herbs into tissues (yogavāhi)• Stimulates the liver to produce fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K"i wonder if it also helps Dr D's supplements to "go into motion" better: such as Cortiguard or even Trehalose and Ara6 as wellit seems to me that since i've started Swami - and its wonderful suggestion about ghee - then the supplements too give me more energy, but yet i don't know if it is due to Swami or ghee.....
Quoted from ABJoe
Membrosia Complex includes lecithin and trehalose and is combined with the oils in the Fluidizer to make the Membrosia System...Due to the combination above, I don't see any reason to keep the trehalose away from fats. If the individual is having trouble assimilating fats, adding some lecithin would be helpful...
Quoted Text
Avoid consuming any fatty foods for fifteen minutes after taking Membrosia.
Quoted from Averno
But I'm left wondering... do the fats in food interfere with the synergy between the Fluidizer oils and the Membrosia Complex? Or ingredients other than Trehalose?
