Dura watches how cells interact
The immune system is a complex network of many different cells working together to defend against invaders. Successfully fighting off an infection depends on the interactions between these cells. A new device developed by MIT engineers offers a much more detailed picture of that cellular communication. Using this device, which captures pairs of cells and collects data on each as they interact with each other, the researchers have already learned more about how T cells — major players in the immune response — become activated during infection.
The device is based on microfluidic technology developed by Joel Voldman, an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science (EECS), in 2009. His team used that earlier version to fuse adult cells with embryonic stem cells, allowing the researchers to observe the genetic reprogramming that occurred in these hybrids. Read more at MIT News, as graduate student and lead author on the new paper, Burak Dura, talks about her research.

Najafi: Toward quantum chips
A team of researchers has built an array of light detectors sensitive enough to register the arrival of individual light particles, or photons, and mounted them on a silicon optical chip. Such arrays are crucial components of devices that use photons to perform quantum computations.
Single-photon detectors are notoriously temperamental: Of 100 deposited on a chip using standard manufacturing techniques, only a handful will generally work. In a paper appearing today in Nature Communications, the researchers at MIT and elsewhere describe a procedure for fabricating and testing the detectors separately and then transferring those that work to an optical chip built using standard manufacturing processes.
In addition to yielding much denser and larger arrays, the approach also increases the detectors' sensitivity. In experiments, the researchers found that their detectors were up to 100 times more likely to accurately register the arrival of a single photon than those found in earlier arrays. Read on at MIT News as graduate student and first author on the new paper, Faraz Najafi, talks more about building the detectors.

Maimon's app saves teachers time and offers immediate feedback
As a teaching assistant at the MIT Sloan School of Management in 2010, Amit Maimon MBA '11 witnessed the origins of a technological phenomenon: Smartphones and tablets had started creeping into the classroom in the hands of students. But instead of dismissing these devices as distractions, Maimon saw a way to leverage them to help teachers get a better idea of what students grasp during lectures.
That year, Maimon co-developed Socrative, an app that lets teachers design or select premade quizzes for students to answer, publicly or anonymously, on personal mobile devices during lectures. The app is now being used by about 1.1 million teachers and millions of students across the globe. Read on here. Photo by Allegra Boverma.

Coping with Criticism
Despite cutting my teeth writing for a daily newspaper, where critiques are often brief and harshly worded, I still react a tad poorly to editorial suggestions. First, I rant and rave; then I feel a little depressed that my writing wasn't up to par; and finally, I sulk and eat an inordinate amount of snacks. I allow myself to go through that process because it gives me the much-needed time and space to get over the initial shock of being told that the thing I worked so hard on isn't perfect. Of course it isn't. It never is.
In some form or another, I've been a writer for more than 20 years. And in that time, I'd like to think I've learned a thing or three about the craft, art, and (often frustrating) process of writing. And one of the things I've learned is how to cope with, and benefit from, criticism. Read more of Theresa MacPhail's article on Vitae. Photo by Jeffrey James Pancres.

The Habits of Highly Productive Writers
Many writers I know love Joyce Carol Oates—some even refer to her as JCO, as if she were a brand as recognizable as CBS or BMW. But just as often, the mention of her name is met by groans and complaints about how much she's written. Her productivity seems like an affront.
When someone's doing a lot more than you, you notice it. It brings out your petty jealousy. And if you're like me (occasionally petty and jealous), it might make you feel crappy about yourself. Which is, let's face it, ridiculous. No one else's achievements take anything away from yours, or mine. The fact that another writer is working hard and well should be nothing more than inspiration, or at least a gentle prod.
So I started to think about the practices of highly productive writers. What are the personality traits and habits that help people crank out the pages? Here are a few that occur to me:

Networking Seems So Sleazy
People changing jobs often turn to their own network of professional contacts for leads. Richard Bolles, in his well-known career guide, What Color is Your Parachute?, says that tactic has a 33 percent success rate. But it's a particular challenge for Ph.D.'s in search of a nonacademic career, because they often have a limited professional network outside of academe.
In my role as a career coach, I hear about this challenge all the time from graduate students and postdocs looking to leave higher education. Here are the most frequent barriers they confront, and some tips on how to overcome them.
"I don't know anyone outside of my field and my department." Students who make that statement often seem to assume that their academic colleagues and mentors don't know anyone in the world of practice either. And that may be true. But especially if your Ph.D. is in a field that has related jobs in business or industry, your faculty may have contacts beyond the academy that can serve as leads into a new career.

OneMIT takes off
MIT Sloan students and administrators are collaborating on a new Institute initiative. In his 2012 inaugural address, MIT President L. Rafael Reif challenged the Institute to work together as "One MIT" to address the world's greatest challenges. MIT Sloan students — working with administrators and other graduate students across campus — have taken up the gauntlet with the launch of the OneMIT initiative, a multifaceted effort to connect graduate students across all five schools.
"It's very much a joint initiative, backed not only by MIT Sloan but the Institute, and supported with groundwork being done by the students," says Jake Cohen, who oversees student services as MIT Sloan's senior associate dean for undergraduate and master's programs. "We strongly believe that the world's most challenging problems cannot be solved by one discipline alone." Read more at MIT News.

Eddy theorizes what really killed the dinosaurs
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid more than five miles wide smashed into the Earth at 70,000 miles per hour, instantly vaporizing upon impact. The strike obliterated most terrestrial life, including the dinosaurs, in a geological instant: Heavy dust blocked out the sun, setting off a cataclysmic chain of events from the bottom of the food chain to the top, killing off more than three-quarters of Earth's species — or so the popular theory goes.
But now scientists at MIT and elsewhere have found evidence that a major volcanic eruption began just before the impact, possibly also playing a role in the extinction.
The team, including graduate student Michael Eddy, precisely dated rocks from the Deccan Traps — a region of west-central India that preserves remnants of one of the largest volcanic eruptions on Earth. Based on their analysis, the researchers determined that the eruption began 250,000 years before the asteroid strike and continued for 500,000 years after the giant impact, spewing a total of 1.5 million square kilometers of lava. The immense and long-lasting volcanism may have released dangerous levels of volatile chemicals into the air, poisoning the atmosphere and oceans. Read more at MIT News.

Burt, Brain Power, and Google Glass
MIT Sloan students are collaborating with a Cambridge startup to transform how people with autism interact with their families, teachers, and caregivers. The students are working with Brain Power LLC, which develops a range of software applications that run on Google Glass. The applications provide a "gamified" environment its developer says allows autistic children to engage the outside world and measure their growth. The MIT Sloan students are spending a semester researching the market opportunities and obstacles to the product's success.
Steve Burt, MBA '15, a member of the team working with Brain Power, volunteered with autistic children at the Boston non-profit Best Buddies before arriving at MIT Sloan. Burt said he was eager to work with an enterprise involved with autism at a critical moment its development. "I am very interested in getting involved in real companies, to make a real difference," Burt said. "This is an opportunity I don't know if you'd get anywhere else." Burt and his MIT Sloan colleagues—Steve Fuller, LGO '15, Arturo Romero, SF '15, and Keisuke Suzuki, SF '15—get this opportunity through Healthcare Lab, one of 16 MIT Sloan Action Learning programs. Each lab stresses learning by doing, matching teams of students with businesses to help solve their complex problems. Read more at MIT Sloan.

The Confidence Gap in Academic Writing
"As a writing workshop instructor, I've become familiar with the garden-variety problems that graduate students face in writing a dissertation. Often those difficulties boil down to an avoidance of the daily grind of writing itself. Sometimes students lack any concrete feedback on their drafts or receive comments that are too general to be of much help in the revision process. Many students are unfamiliar with the tricks and tools of the writing trade itself – things like reverse outlines, free writing, or "storyboarding."
My role is to help graduate students with the technical aspects of writing. But as I have counseled more and more of them, I have noticed a disturbing trend. While all of my students had trouble finding their voice or sticking to a writing schedule, some of my female students seemed to have an additional – and less technical – problem: a crippling lack of confidence. After a year of working intensely with Ph.D. and master's candidates, I slowly realized that my female students were more likely than the men to feel as if something was fundamentally lacking about either their projects or their skills."

Azzarelli on new wireless chemical sensors
MIT chemists have devised a new way to wirelessly detect hazardous gases and environmental pollutants, using a simple sensor that can be read by a smartphone. These inexpensive sensors could be widely deployed, making it easier to monitor public spaces or detect food spoilage in warehouses. Using this system, the researchers have demonstrated that they can detect gaseous ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and cyclohexanone, among other gases.
"The beauty of these sensors is that they are really cheap. You put them up, they sit there, and then you come around and read them. There's no wiring involved. There's no power," says Timothy Swager, the John D. MacArthur Professor of Chemistry at MIT. "You can get quite imaginative as to what you might want to do with a technology like this."
Swager is the senior author of a paper describing the new sensors in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the week of Dec. 8. Chemistry graduate student Joseph Azzarelli is the paper's lead author; other authors are postdoc Katherine Mirica and former MIT postdoc Jens Ravnsbaek. Continue reading on MIT News.

Konermann devises technique to rapidly reveal gene function
Using a gene-editing system originally developed to delete specific genes, MIT researchers have now shown that they can reliably turn on any gene of their choosing in living cells. This new application for the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing system should allow scientists to more easily determine the function of individual genes, according to Feng Zhang, the W.M. Keck Career Development Professor in Biomedical Engineering in MIT's Departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Biological Engineering, and a member of the Broad Institute and MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research.
This approach also enables rapid functional screens of the entire genome, allowing scientists to identify genes involved in particular diseases. In a study published in the Dec. 10 online edition of Nature, Zhang and colleagues identified several genes that help melanoma cells become resistant to a cancer drug. Silvana Konermann, a graduate student in Zhang's lab, and Mark Brigham, a McGovern Institute postdoc, are the paper's lead authors. Continue reading on MIT News.

Kim designs system to teach humans pattern recognition
Computers are good at identifying patterns in huge data sets. Humans, by contrast, are good at inferring patterns from just a few examples. In a paper appearing at the Neural Information Processing Society's conference next week, MIT researchers present a new system that bridges these two ways of processing information, so that humans and computers can collaborate to make better decisions.
The system learns to make judgments by crunching data but distills what it learns into simple examples. In experiments, human subjects using the system were more than 20 percent better at classification tasks than those using a similar system based on existing algorithms. In particular, Shah and her colleagues — her student Been Kim, whose PhD thesis is the basis of the new paper, and Cynthia Rudin, an associate professor of statistics at the MIT Sloan School of Management — were trying to augment a type of machine learning known as "unsupervised."

Mishra is making large biological circuits practical
Researchers have made great progress in recent years in the design and creation of biological circuits — systems that, like electronic circuits, can take a number of different inputs and deliver a particular kind of output. But while individual components of such biological circuits can have precise and predictable responses, those outcomes become less predictable as more such elements are combined.
A team of researchers at MIT has now come up with a way of greatly reducing that unpredictability, introducing a device that could ultimately allow such circuits to behave nearly as predictably as their electronic counterparts. The findings are published this week in the journal Nature Biotechnology, in a paper by associate professor of mechanical engineering Domitilla Del Vecchio and professor of biological engineering Ron Weiss.
The lead author of the paper is Deepak Mishra, an MIT graduate student in biological engineering. Other authors include recent master's students Phillip Rivera in mechanical engineering and Allen Lin in electrical engineering and computer science.

Markle's data-gathering snow probe will help skiers avoid avalanches
To understand what's under their feet in the backcountry, a skier or snowboarder relies on an old tool: digging a snow pit. On or near the slope a skier wants to descend, he digs a hole roughly five feet deep in the snowpack, with a vertical face to the uphill side. Then a series of loading tests with arcane names like Stuffblock or Rutschblock determines how stable the snowpack is.
It's time-consuming, inexact work and relies entirely on subjective interpretation of the results. Get it wrong and, as Brint Markle and his friends were, you'll be lucky to ski out alive. Last season, there were 35 avalanche deaths in the U.S. alone. (Even experienced pros get caught; in September, veteran extreme skiers J.P. Auclair and Andreas Fransson were killed in an avalanche in Chile.)
So when Markle enrolled at MIT's Sloan School of Business, his business idea was to try to help people get it right. If the hardest thing about backcountry safety is understanding the snow, Markle thought, perhaps technology offered a way to get fast, objective snowpack data that could be easily shared with others.

NEW YORK - Wall Street started the week with a narrowly mixed performance Monday, with many investors moving to the sidelines as they wait for quarterly profit reports.
Stocks had popped higher in earlier trading, extending last week's big advance on talk of a $5 billion private equity investment in Washington Mutual. The nation's largest thrift is reportedly in discussions with buyout shop TPG and other investors about selling a stake in itself in return for cash.
But with earnings on tap and the Federal Reserve issuing minutes from its March meeting on Tuesday, investors, while clearly feeling more confident overall, decided to play it a little safer late in the day - especially with Alcoa announcing its first-quarter results after the close.
Alcoa was the biggest loser among the 30 Dow Jones industrials, falling $1.56, or 4 percent, to $37.44 ahead of its earnings release. The aluminum company said it had a 54 percent drop in first-quarter net income, a sharper decline than the market expected. Its shares were little changed in after-hours trading.
The broader market started pulling back when the Standard & Poor's 500 index began approaching the levels where it stood before Wall Street's massive selloff in early March, noted Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
The Dow rose 3.01, or 0.02 percent, to 12,612.43, after rising more than 120 points earlier in the day and finishing last week up 393.02, or 3.22 percent.
Broader stock indicators were mixed Monday. The S&P 500 index closed up 2.14, or 0.16 percent, at 1,372.54, after rising as high as 1,386.74. The Nasdaq composite index fell 6.15, or 0.26 percent, to 2,364.83.

Nice ShoeThis was a great opportunity: A classic looking ballerina shoe for jeans and at a reasonable price. Hoever, affter receiving the shoe I found that the material starts to fold close to the toe cap while walking. My feet are on the wide side but in this case it was a bit too much of a good thing and I had to send them back. But if you are looking for a wider classic, look no further.Shoelover would recommend this product to a friend.
A lil bit disappointedI am a little bit disappointed of these shoes. They are really stylish but they need so much break in because they are too tight. They also need to stretch, I can't wear them anymore because they gave me blisters.
Run Big, Cheaply Made, Still adorableI really really wanted these to work. The print is adorable. Unfortunately, they run really long and they feel very cheap... They're fairly affordable, though, so if you're just dying for a pair of navy stripe flats, just make sure you order at least 1/2 size down.NYC_Shoe_Lover would recommend this product to a friend.
Cute but hurtThey were adorable and I wish they fit but I had to send them back. They were long enough and wide enough but the top part dug into my foot. I don't usually have this problem so I think that these shoes are best suited for someone with narrow feet and not very big bones.
love these shoesSo far I love these shoes! I've only had them for a while but they seem durable. they are comfortable and go with everything!Jeni would recommend this product to a friend.
I would buy this product again and again[...]Thank you for all .NUR would recommend this product to a friend.
Love themThe colors were more pastel than in the photo. But they are very nice.Tisha would recommend this product to a friend.
Decent flat with Cute printsI already own this flat in the Navy Stripe, and it's an okay fit for me--a little too roomy in the upper, but decent. I ordered the Multi because I loved the print, but I was disappointed in how bulky the shoe looked on my foot. I wear a 13, so I want shoes to make my foot look smaller, not clunkier! I do really like the colors, but I'm going to exchange these for the Yellow Missoni print and hope they're a little more slimming!
AdorableAbsolutely adorable. Cute and comfortable, who could ask for more?tallgirl17 would recommend this product to a friend.
The cutest darn shoes!These shoes are just too cute. I don't typically wear wide widths but I think I could have used a wider width if it was available. Adorable shoes. Lots of compliments.Boats for feet would recommend this product to a friend.
Cute shoe, but too shortI like the shoe. Nice color and style. Felt too snug in the length. Am returning them.
ExcellentI'm 60 years old and have worn a size 12 since 6th grade so I come from an era where large stylish shoes just didn't exist. I am still in disbelief when I LOOK AT MY FEET AND SEE pretty shoes in colors I love and I'm not in pain when I wear them.Sheila would recommend this product to a friend.
Great flatsI like these flats, the only problem is that the low/wide opening rubs my toes a little. Otherwise very cute.Thea would recommend this product to a friend.
They run SMALL!!!Like all B.F.T shoes I purchase, I have to go a size up. I ordered these shoes a whole size larger than I usually order and good thing I did. They fit nicely, but the width is a bit on the narrow side. After some breaking in, I'm sure they will be fine. Definitely buy a size larger!!!Jovifan would recommend this product to a friend.
love love love!These shoes are so cute, comfy, and versatile! I wear a 13w, but ordered a size up because I ordered a pair before in a 13 and they were VERY TIGHT around my toes...super uncomfortable. These shoes are also tight in width but after a few uncomfortable wears they break-in. I've worn mine about 3xs and I love them now!!DallasDiva1986 would recommend this product to a friend.
Cute shoes but they didn't fit right...These shoes are cute but I had to return them.Brooklyn Sue would recommend this product to a friend.
Perfect Casual FlatI will order a second pair because they are so good. They are my daily casual wear for everything shoe.Theresa Bassgirl would recommend this product to a friend.

Cute Kid Alert! Sandra Bullock Dresses Little Louis in Hipster Hat (PHOTOS)
Sandra Bullock may be America's sweetheart, but if her son Louis keeps being so darn cute he might just take mommy's coveted title away!
The 47-year-old Oscar winner was in full on mommy mode as she and her adorable tyke were seen spotted visiting a friend in Los Feliz, CA, this past Saturday. Louis looked super sweet as he sported a very stylish plaid newsboy cap.

On December 8th, many of our Salvation Army Barton Center and Julian Center students and their families were treated to a night of games, activities, food, gifts and even face painting at the Colts Training Complex on Indy's North West side. DREAM Alive, an organization that was started in 2001 by Tarik Glenn and his wife Maya, threw this amazing party. DREAM Alive, which stands for Discipline, Responsibility, Education, Achievement, and Motivation, has a goal of inspiring underserved youth and their families to pursue their dreams. Throughout the school year we have had DREAM scholars – middle and high school students involved in DREAM Alive – come to Barton Center to work with our students there. Our students always enjoy the visits from their DREAM scholars.
The DREAM Alive Christmas Celebration is an annual opportunity for DREAM Alive scholars to give back to the community. Each year, DREAM Alive works with local organizations to choose families to assist during the Christmas season. DREAM Alive scholars are each matched with a student, who they purchase gifts for and then are able to meet during the event itself.
Before heading out to the complex for this year's Christmas Celebration, Barton Center residents were treated to a Christmas dinner, donated by City Barbeque followed by dessert provided by board member Carol Chambers. The residents enjoyed this tasty and festive meal as they prepared to head out to the big DREAM Alive event.
Once the students arrived at the complex they were paired up with their DREAM scholars who walked around with them throughout the evening. There were many fun activities for students and their scholars to participate in, including balloon twisting, a Secret Santa Shop where students could choose gifts to give their parents on Christmas Day, a spot for family photos and a fun photo booth, the Play 60 football toss and a craft table.
Colts tight end and Player Executive of DREAM Alive, Dwayne Allen, joined the kids on the field. Allen, who spoke at last year's School on Wheels' Education Celebration, looked like he was having a blast running around and chatting with many of the students. Based on the speech he gave at last year's Education Celebration, it is obvious he knows how important a mentor or role model can be.
The night ended with lots of happy kids carrying a bag full of gifts, balloon animals and donated Chic-fil-A boxed dinners onto the bus and back home to Barton and Julian.
DREAM Alive is an event our kids always look forward to each year. School on Wheels is so grateful for DREAM Alive and their scholars for inviting us to their event and working throughout the school year with many of our students!

One of my favorite things about my job is recognizing our volunteers. They give so much of their time, talent and love to our children every week while asking for nothing in return. For this tutor spotlight I have chosen to honor and thank outstanding and long-time tutor, Rita Novak.
Rita has been involved with our program since 2009. She currently volunteers two times per week at two different locations and is not only loved by our staff but more importantly, our kids! She truly cares for our kids and is extremely dedicated. Because Rita works very closely with two of our staff members at our tutoring locations, I thought they would be the best people to speak about her as a tutor.
"Rita is a very positive presence at MartH. She is always very excited about the projects and works very closely with the student that pairs up with her. She also looks for ways for the students to get involved beyond the classroom, including visits to our local museums." - Kris Hurst, Program Coordinator for MartH
"Rita praises the efforts of the child and she celebrates their successes. She keeps the child engaged throughout tutoring. If a break is needed, it's taken and then the work resumes. Rita is very clear in the expectations of tutoring time. She goes above and beyond by organizing the child's backpack and making sure they are prepared for school the next day. She also tells the child she'll be back next week, to have a good week and the following week she will ask, for example, how their spelling test went. She has even gotten her granddaughter involved and she is now a tutor." - Teresa Unseld, Program Coordinator for Coburn Place
The School on Wheels' staff would like to thank Rita for being such an amazing, dedicated tutor for our kids!
Our next dedicated volunteer could be YOU! One hour a week can change two lives – yours and theirs. Apply to volunteer today!

Over the last two months, we've had some very special visitors to each of our tutoring locations – science ambassadors from Dow AgroSciences! This is the third semester that they've visited our students during tutoring, bringing fun and engaging hands-on experiments that get our kids excited about science.
In the past, the Dow AgroSciences Science Ambassadors have guided our students through experiments focused on anything from extracting DNA from strawberries (check out more about that experiment here) to creating their very own silly putty. This semester, however, the scientists focused on a brand new topic – agriculture.
The activities:
Terrariums: After going over the basics of how plants grow, students created their very own terrariums out of 2-liter bottles. The Dow scientists brought sprouted seeds from a wide variety of fruits and vegetables (even cantaloupe) for students to plant in their terrariums after they added the necessary draining material and soil for the plants to grow.
Leaf rubbing: Students created their very own leaf rubbings to take home with them using leaves and crayons.
Seed investigation: Students used a magnifying glass to take a closer look at seeds that had been cut in half. Using a diagram, they identified each of the parts of the seed.
Colored flowers: Students observed how adding food coloring to water affected the color of carnations throughout the tutoring hour.
Our students truly loved having the Dow scientists come to visit during tutoring this fall. It's definitely the highlight of the tutoring semester for many of our kids, which comes across in these thank you letters written to the Dow scientists – check them out:
Dow AgroSciences has been a fantastic supporter of our students in so many ways. We even have a long-time tutor (over four years!) who works as a biochemist at Dow and helps with science nights every year – Audrey Etter. It's fantastic to have a partner like Dow that is involved in our program on so many levels.
Thank you so much for your time spent teaching our kids about science during these tutoring sessions, and for all of the support you give us throughout the year!

This week of Thanksgiving is when many of us begin a season long focus on all that we have to be thankful for. At the same time, the inequities that exist in the world become magnified. For as many people who have an abundance of things for which to be thankful, just as many are in need — in need of food, shelter, a support system or even just a friend.
At School on Wheels we are so happy that we work with children who, though they lack a home to call their own, are counting all the things for which they have to be thankful. And that's because of our amazing partners who provide shelter and meals to these children and their families. It's because of our donors who help us develop the right curriculum for these students and allow us to spend one-on-one time with their parents so they can become fully invested in their children's education. It's because of our volunteers who dedicate almost 6,000 hours each school year to give these children the one-on-one tutoring support they need to succeed academically. It's because of the teachers, the social workers, the advocates and the community members who come together and create a web of support for children and families experiencing homelessness.
Our children see these efforts put forth by the whole community and are so thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving!

This week is National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. Each year, local and national organizations host events and increase advocacy efforts to raise awareness about the problems of hunger and homelessness in the United States. It's an opportunity for organizations to educate and inspire compassion surrounding these issues.
When I tell people that I work at School on Wheels I am often asked a variety of questions ranging from, "How can a child be homeless?" to "How can a family become homeless?" The truth is there is no one answer to these questions. Homelessness is often caused by the compounded effects of numerous experiences in one's life.
In fact, a year or so ago I wrote a story for a presentation about a child named, "Michael" to describe those compounded effects. "Michael's" story is not based on any one School on Wheels student, but is representative of the complexities that exist in the lives of our students and families. The following is an excerpt from the presentation:
Michael has been jumping around from home to home over the years. He comes from a single parent family with two other siblings, ages 5 and 8. Michael is only 10 years old and is definitely the man of the family. He and his family have never really had a permanent home. As long as he can remember, he has always lived from house to house. This is quite normal for him. Throughout the years, Michael attended 6 different schools because of this transience.
Michael's mother has a high school GED. She never had a lot of positive experiences in school. Growing up she struggled in many subjects, and was never really supported to go to school. As a child she witnessed a great deal of violence in the home. Her father often took his anger out on her mother and sadly verbal and physical abuse became a part of the norm. Unfortunately, as a teenager she found herself with a boyfriend who mimicked much of the same behavior as her father, but she ended up marrying him. When she became pregnant with Michael's youngest sibling, she decided she wanted more for her family, divorced their father and went to live with family and friends. Her employment has been sporadic though the years, the low wages she earns just aren't enough for her family to make it out on their own.
For the last six months Michael and his family have been living with their elderly great aunt. Their great aunt has decided that she can no longer have them stay with her. She can't handle the additional expenses and already has a hard time taking care of her house and home without the addition of guests. Now Michael and his family have exhausted all of the extended family and friends that they could stay with over the years. Michael's mom decides that there is no where else to go but a homeless shelter.
The National Center on Family Homelessness shares a similar message, "Family homelessness is caused by the combined effects of lack of affordable housing, extreme poverty, decreasing government supports, the challenge of raising children alone, the changing demographics of the family, domestic violence, and fractured social supports. As the gap between housing costs and income continues to widen, more and more families are at risk of homelessness. For families with vulnerabilities or little safety net, even a seemingly minor event can trigger a catastrophic outcome and catapult a family onto the streets."
This week, take some time to learn more about family homelessness by visiting the links below and engage your family and friends in a conversation about its impact. When we can unify the community in understanding the complexities surrounding those living in poverty and experiencing homelessness then we may motivate more individuals to be a part of a solution.

Semi-Classical Approximation in Quantum Mechanics

- About this book
This volume is concerned with a detailed description of the canonical operator method - one of the asymptotic methods of linear mathematical physics. The book is, in fact, an extension and continuation of the authors' works [59], [60], [65]. The basic ideas are summarized in the Introduction. The book consists of two parts. In the first, the theory of the canonical operator is develop ed, whereas, in the second, many applications of the canonical operator method to concrete problems of mathematical physics are presented. The authors are pleased to express their deep gratitude to S. M. Tsidilin for his valuable comments. THE AUTHORS IX INTRODUCTION 1. Various problems of mathematical and theoretical physics involve partial differential equations with a small parameter at the highest derivative terms. For constructing approximate solutions of these equations, asymptotic methods have long been used. In recent decades there has been a renaissance period of the asymptotic methods of linear mathematical physics. The range of their applicability has expanded: the asymptotic methods have been not only continuously used in traditional branches of mathematical physics but also have had an essential impact on the development of the general theory of partial differential equations. It appeared recently that there is a unified approach to a number of problems which, at first sight, looked rather unrelated.

Bigger gap on clay- Serena vs Henin or Federer vs Nadal

Re: Bigger gap on clay- Serena vs Henin or Federer vs Nadal
a tough one, because if we look at the statistics the gap between serena and henin is bigger on clay than between federer and nadal.
..but if you have followed tennis closely and use your brains it is obvious that the gap between federer and nadal is bigger, because nadal has a mental and stylistic advantage over federer. Fed played his absolute best in rolland garros a couple of times and just couldnt beat nadal. funny thing I found out recently is that nadal leads 12-2 against both federer and djokovic (STATISTICS right?), but I see djokovic as having a MUCH better chance to beat rafa on clay than federer has, because of the style/mental aspect.
..and I had the same feeling with serena. henin was not in serena's head on clay. when serena brings her "A" game you know that she CAN win anytime and if u do look at the statistics, some matches on clay were very close (much closer than fed/nadal matches).
I know i'm mentioning feelings a lot, but hey we are humans and statistics never describe the whole story. im not defending serena here, because i feel the same for henin when she made her last comeback, she lost 3 times against clijsters who was in great shape, while henin was still trying to find her "A" game.
