The Northside ISD Board of Trustees is seeking nominations for two new schools scheduled to open in 2014.
News Archive
In the wake of the Newtown, Conn. school shooting, false rumors are being spread throughout NISD schools. All schools will be open on Friday.
By Dr. Brian T. Woods.
Similar to many of you, I watched with horror the events of last Friday in Newtown, CT. As an educator and a parent the event was particularly painful. We all grieve for those involved in this tragedy. In Northside, many have asked about our security procedures and some have expressed interest in more security measures being installed. I wanted to update you on the measures we have in place and where we plan to go in the future with respect to school safety.
We constantly debate the appropriate measure of security to have on a campus. We try to balance the use of technology and restricting access with the notion of school being a welcoming place for students, parents and volunteers. We will continue that debate.
In light of the horrific school shooting in Connecticut Friday...
While there is no indication that this is anything but an isolated incident in a state far from Texas, Northside ISD is very sensitive to concerns and questions from parents about our own crisis procedures.
Although Learning Tree can accommodate up to 160 students at certain sites, there is an average teacher to student ratio of 1 to 18. The staff includes after school program specialists, site leaders, and youth leaders, many of whom are college students studying to become teachers.
Northside ISD is holding a job fair for bus drivers, instructional assistant substitutes, food service workers, and food service manager trainees from 9 a.m. to noon Monday, Dec. 17 at the Northside Activity Center, 7001 Culebra Road.

To celebrate this historic achievement, the public is invited to attend a pep rally for Brandeis, Brennan and O'Connor high schools at 7 p.m. Thursday at Farris Stadium.
More students are graduating from Northside ISD high schools than ever before. For the Class of 2011, the District's completion rate is 95.7 percent, and the graduation rate is 91.7 percent. Statistics for the Class of 2012 won't be available until next year.
The newly-renovated library at Ross Middle School was officially named the John McLaughlin Library Wednesday night to honor a man who has spent the last 18 years working to enrich the lives of students at the campus.
Solve this math riddle: Geometry teacher Matthew Patty has 63 students on 12 different middle school campuses. He can only teach class the first and last period of the day. How does it get it done? Two words: iPads and wireless internet. Welcome to distance learning in 2012.
The NISD Guidance & Counseling Department has launched a new website geared specifically to the needs of military families.
This past week, the Northside Education Foundation made history when it doled out $173,000 in grants one time.
It's the ultimate library. Students and staff never have to worry about getting an overdue notice and the library is always open.
This summer, NISD opened the new Los Reyes Elementary School, a school with a rich history that spans a century, and renamed Lackland City Elementary School – a school that is 52 years old – Jerry D. Allen Elementary School.
Representatives from more than 140 colleges and universities from across the nation will meet with thousands of NISD students at College Night, which will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 29.
School cafeteria food is a favorite target of the media, school politicians and the public in general. So in honor of National School Lunch Week, which runs Oct. 15-19, here's some answers to some common questions – and misconceptions – about the food served in Northside ISD's cafeteria.
All members of the NISD community are invited to join the Northside Team for the San Antonio Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Nov. 11.
The Drug Enforcement Agency once again will hold a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29 to dispose of unwanted and expired prescription drugs.
Robert Green's entire career has been about service – first to his nation as an officer in the U.S. Army, and now to the children of Langley Elementary, where he's a third grade teacher and Chess Club sponsor.
Dr. R. Michael Flores, a 1987 Holmes High School graduate, was named Palo Alto College's sixth president by the Alamo Colleges Board of Trustees Tuesday night.
Kent Page, the science academic support teacher at Carnahan Elementary School known for his hands-on lessons with students, has been named a finalist for the prestigious Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) program.
NISD Adult & Community Education recently unveiled a new website, making it even easier to search for and register for classes. And, Adult & Community Education also launched a Facebook page and is now on Twitter.
R.C. Rodríguez, Northside ISD Director of Bilingual and English as a Second Language was recently honored with the distinguished 2012 Stéén Award.
Ross Middle School in Northside ISD, along with State Representative Joaquin Castro, State Senator Leticia Van de Putte, and Councilman Justin Rodriguez, will hold the 8th Annual Health and Community Resource Fair on Saturday, Sept. 8.

Given how memory bound Llano is it would be nice if you'd put the speed of the RAM you used in the test.
Also it might be interesting to have a test for memory scaling under Linux with Llano under both drivers once radeon gets operational.
Phoronix: AMD A8-3850 With Radeon HD 6550D
Last month AMD officially launched the A-Series "Llano" Fusion APUs to much fan-fare with significantly better computational and graphics performance over the E-Series Fusion APUs and all around the new hardware being a compelling solution. On launch-day we delivered AMD A8-3500M benchmarks as we managed to procure remote access to one of the AMD Llano systems from a third-party, and we also delivered benchmarks of the Radeon HD 6620G that are found on that APU. We have now finally been sent over a Llano APU and motherboard from AMD so we are able to conduct our own set of in-depth Llano Linux tests. In this review we are examining the Radeon HD 6550D graphics capabilities on the AMD A8-3850 APU.

Echoing this too, please mention what speed the RAM was, and if not 1866, could you test that too?
Also, a power consumption comparison to the nearest discrete cards would be interesting (HD4650 and GT240).
I think Llano is going to compete versus ATOM not versus desktop CPUs+GPUs.
Prices must be in the benchmarks Price/performance is a good benchmark.
Llano can be the fast verion of Chrome OS netbooks in a near future, and depending of the price a real pain in the ass to ATOM netbooks, even with MS WOS.
Remember that the Asus Eee and similars works fine with Linux and OSX - pirate, but works - and MS WOS 7 has a very limited special OS done specially for avoiding the spread of Linux systems preinstalled on this devices.
Now with the preinstalled Chrome OS netbooks with linux will have other oportunity and if Llano arrives on time and in price ATOM would have to improve A LOT its GPU.
Do you even know what processors Llano includes?
How exactly is a quad core 2.9ghz processor close to atom performance?
The fastest atom I see is dual core 1.8ghz. And the graphics (nvidia ion) that comes with them would be garbage compared to the Llano A8-3530MX vid card.
Llano is meant for low/mid range computers. It's not AMD top end stuff, that is coming out later.
I think you meant that AMD Bobcat competes with Atom (and dual core 1.6ghz e-350 bobcat still better than atom+ion).
Did you read this phoronix review linkted to in this article:
AMD A8-3500M Llano Linux Benchmarks.
It shows amd quad core vs amd dual core vs atom. Atom is slowest and the quad core blows both dual cores away. a6-3400m is the slowest laptop quad core. This article talks about the fastest desktop quad core (a8-3850).

Regarding memory scaling, I have tested Llano A8-3850, 8GB: 2x DDR3-1866 G.Skil RipJaws-X, Asus F1A75M-Pro, seeting the memory to 1333 and 1866 speed respectively, Results for Unigine and results for free games. All at 1280x1024 (my 2nd TFT). I also did encoding tests to show thet ram speed doesn't matter there. And compared to my old Phenom 9350e (Phenom 1st generation, 4x 2.0 GHz). Also reduced Llano to 2.0 Hz for comparison.
I can barely see visited links in this forum so I set them to bold.
I used (K)Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha which runs fine with the catalyst driver, I even got decent screen output with the Radeon driver delivered by Ubuntu, yet had big problems with setting the screen res there. The driver sees a VGA and a DVI screen while only DVI was connected.
Power usage for me is idle: 30W idle with Catalyst, 35W with Radeon. Only CPU fan plus Notebook HDD attached, P/S: Enermax Pro82+ 385W. Full load under Unigine Tropics: upto 115W. Prime95: 110W. When I set CPU voltage to 1.25 (prime stable) I get max load closely under 100W. Btw: accordingt to lanet3dnow.de their Llano had CPU Voltage-ID at 1.275V, the board set close to 1.4V though. I think there's somethin wrong with a BIOS lib, MSI told them this would be fixed with the next BIOS.
My board sets 1.41V by default ...
i asked for price/performance, but i think this kind of CPU+GPU processors are more for portable devices as netbooks - not as cheap as ATOM, but a litle more expensive and far better performance - for a near future - this computer world is fast and ATOM is aged. But i missed the 100W MY MISTAKE.
Of course for desktop as ATOMs compact models. But i do not see them at big cases - perhaps it is my mistake - at least not as a best selled.
And of course as a nextgen processor is really much faster than an ATOM, but Price / performance versus ATOM and desktop computers - being in the middle of both markets I hope - would be good, in my opinion too.
I would like a score as futuremark for phoronix test suite with a 100 or 1000 base on a known model as a mac mini or similar to really compare at one sight performance between computers.

mitcoes: Llano for desktops is a very good OEM product (sources claim they rip it from AMD's hands) as it's cheap to build a box with enough CPU power for almost all users plus a middle class GPU with typical OEM characteristics.
You just need a case, psu, board, a/cpu, ram, drive, optical and cooling. No need for a seperate gfx card and comes with 4x USB 3.0, 6x SATA 6G and enough PCIe-lanes for PEG and all peripherals at still-up-to-date 2.0 speeds.
Cheap package, less parts needed, easy cooling, full features for mainstream. Simple as that.
But to me, it's also a very good DIY part because I have very low idle power (you'll have at least +10W with a discrete card, whichever middle class CPU you choose) and enough horse power for my needs CPU and GPU wise. And all the state of the art peripheral links.

The artist's bio is the best part.
He's not really known for artistic ability or originality. Unless you think drawing chibi animals and halftone swirls takes talent (some people do!). Him getting picked in the recycling derby does have a pretty tasty irony. Though ironically a can in a trash basket is a new idea from him!

According to data provided by the Department for Communities and Local Government, 72 per cent of people in the local area are unemployed and seven per cent have never had a job. Four out of five children on the estate are living in poverty, with the area having one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the country. During today's House of Commons debate, the government urged MPs to back their planned 1 per cent cap on annual rises in benefits and some tax credits for three years from next April. Benefits for people of working age have historically risen in line with the rate of inflation. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)

Review: Highland Park 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on April 17, 2012
The Highland Park Distillery traces its heritage back to 1798 where it was apparently founded by Magnus 'Mansie' Eunson, a local butcher, beadle (lay official of the church) and part-time smuggler. (The association with Magnus Eunson is by no means certain but it does provide a wonderful back story for the distillery.) The distillery is located in the Highlands of Scotland on the Island of Orkney which is famous for its heather rich meadows, and its unique organic Orcadian peat. At this distillery, all of the Highland Park Whisky is matured in two styles of oak barrels which are stored in warehouses with earthen floors and stone walls. Some of the whisky is matured in Spanish (Sherry) oak, and some of the whisky is matured in American (Bourbon) oak. Maturing the whisky in two different styles of oak allows the blender to capture characteristics of each in the final blend.
Here is an excerpt from my review:

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Styling Heat Protect Spray
Rere14HairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairGreat ProductI was hesitant to purchase this spray because it's not cheap and I have tried similar products in the past that did not work. However, I think this product really works! I use some serious heat on my hair everyday at temperatures of 325 to 450 degrees. My ends are always dry and brittle. I have been using this protectant for about 3 months now and my hair seems healthier and less brittle. My hair is also noticeably shiny. My friends have asked me what I am using on my hair. It smells like Pine Sol but the smell fades within minutes. I will continue to use and suggest this spray. It is well worth the money.posted Aug 26, 2013Link to this post
BreeCAHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated Hair450 Degree Heat ProtectionI purchased this because I use 400+ degree heat instruments on my hair. It seems to work; I like that I could spray it on after my hair is dry and before ironing. It feels a little like hairspray, so it adds a little extra weight to hair, if that is important to you (i wish it didn't personally), but am happy to find a product that truly protects from high heat; I also wish it wasn't so expensive.posted Mar 5, 2013Link to this post

Not only does it protect, it also holds so that your curly hair stays curly and your straight hair stays straight. It also kinda feels like it makes your hair stronger as well. I will keep using this product, it is the best one of its kind!posted Nov 15, 2011Link to this post
Erica C.Great Product For Heat StylingI have straight hair but curl it often with a heat iron. I tried this product and am very pleased with the results. It made a noticeable difference in that my curls hold better and my hair looks shinier. In the past, I would curl my hair first, then spray a little hair spray to hold the curls, but often times it resulted in stiff, almost "plastic to the touch" curls. However, this product not only protects my hair from the heat (so i dont feel so guilty overly frying my hair), but it also holds my curl without the stiffness of other hairsprays. I have tried other heat products in the past such as thermasilk, but it was too heavy both weight and scent wise. Initially I didnt like the lemony scent, but it fades in an hour or so. Overall, I am happy with this product!posted Nov 3, 2011Link to this post
MarieNew YorkHairColor Treated HairFlat Iron Glides Through My Hair!This is amazing because when you apply to the section and use a flat iron, it really makes the iron glide through. The hair looks healthy shiny and it makes look last longer. I also use when I use curling iron and the curls look shier and also last longer. Great for hot rollers too or even when you just want to touch up your bangs on day 2 or 3. So many ways i use this product, even just to refresh the blowdry. I feel like I'm really protecting my hair and preventing breakage!posted Oct 27, 2011Link to this post

Buchholz-Darvish matchup opens set in Texas
Boston righty on two-win streak; Yu fanned 14 last time vs. Sox
Though the first month of the season has been a bit bumpy for Clay Buchholz, the Red Sox right-hander has begun to come into his own.
Buchholz lost two of his first four games but has won two straight, including his most recent outing against Oakland on Friday. In that contest, he tossed a solid 6 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on three hits.
"I felt good," Buchholz said after the start. "It's been a process between last start to this start, and as far as arm strength and everything, it seems to be coming along pretty well. That was the last phase I was getting through -- getting my arm strength fully back and trusting the pitches that I throw."
The Texas native will get a chance to show his progress in Friday's series opener against the Rangers and right-hander Yu Darvish at Globe Life Park.
Darvish is ready for the challenge of facing the defending World Series champions. He is 0-1 with a 5.93 ERA in two career starts against the Red Sox. In his last start against Boston on May 5, 2013, in Arlington, he allowed three runs on four hits over seven innings and struck out 14.
"Like all my starts, I will meet with my catcher and my pitching coach and come up with a game plan and try to do my best to go as deep in the game as possible without thinking too much about who I'm facing," Darvish said.
One familiar face for the right-hander will be A.J. Pierzynski, his catcher from last season. Pierzynski was behind the plate on April 2 when Darvish came within an out of a perfect game and again on Aug. 12 when Darvish came within six outs of a no-hitter.
"I'm looking forward to it," Darvish said. "It was a long season and we went through so many things. I almost threw a perfect game with him. I almost threw a no-hitter with him. Overall we got along very well."
Red Sox: Farrell impressed with Miller
• Left-hander Andrew Miller has become Mr. Reliable for manager John Farrell this season.
Miller leads the bullpen with 16 appearances, and he's struck out 16 batters and walked none in his last 10 2/3 innings.
Miller threw two perfect frames in Tuesday's 12-inning 4-3 win over the Reds. He struck out a season-high four.
"We know it takes the first two to three weeks of the season for things to click, but he's simplified his delivery," Farrell said. "He's pitching with a lot of confidence. He can miss bats and he can get away with pitches in the middle of the plate because he's an upper 90s type of guy. He has a lot going for him."
Rangers: Bullpen doing extra work
• The Rangers were hoping to have their bullpen rested by the time they face the Red Sox. They called up pitcher Scott Baker on Wednesday and he pitched 5 1/3 innings, then was designated for assignment so the Rangers could call up 20-year-old second baseman Rougned Odor.
The Rangers used four relievers behind Matt Harrison in Thursday's 5-0 victory over Colorado. The bullpen combined for 3 2/3 scoreless innings.
The Rangers could have kept Baker by optioning Nick Martinez back to the Minor Leagues. But right now the Rangers want him in their bullpen rather than pitching every fifth day in the Minors. Martinez has a 2.29 ERA in two starts and three relief appearances while opponents are hitting .236 off him. He worked around two hits in an inning of relief Thursday night.
"We feel Nick can be a winning piece in the bullpen and we wanted to keep him," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.
Worth noting
• Boston is tied with the Angels for the American League lead with eight one-run losses this season. Overall, the Sox have played an AL-high 13 total games decided by one run.
• Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is one home run away from tying Andre Dawson and Jason Giambi for 40th on the all-time list with 438 long balls.
• There are less than 2,000 reserved tickets remaining for Friday's game and 8,000 for Sunday. There are only obstructed view, singles and standing room only for Saturday.

Financial Aid - Current Students
Our scholarships, grants, loans and work-study opportunities can make your college education more affordable than you ever thought possible. Need-based financial aid is not available to international students, although many students can qualify for loans without demonstrating need.
Applying for financial aid is simple -- just follow our easy guide or view the FAFSA Tutorial.
NOVA is now 100% Direct Lending. Loans are money that you or your parents borrow and repay with interest. Education loans are offered at low interest rates and have long repayment terms. Some loans require a demonstration of need, others do not.
Scholarships are awards that do not have to be paid back and are based on student performance and talent. Some scholarships consider financial need when determining eligibility.
Grants are financial awards that are based on demonstration of financial need and do not have to be paid back.
Work-study is a financial aid program that allows eligible students to earn money toward their educational expenses by working a part-time job at one of the NOVA campuses. The work-study program is administered by Campus Work-Study Coordinators and the College Financial Aid Office.
Students must be eligible for federal financial aid, be enrolled in at least 6 credits, and have demonstrated financial need in order to potentially qualify for federal work-study. All work-study awards are contingent on the student's eligibility, funding, and approval by the NOVA Human Resources Department and the College Financial Aid Office.
Welcome to the Financial Aid Dashboard, where you can log in to view, complete and submit requested financial aid information and/or forms to the NOVA financial aid office.

"When I was a little girl, my grandmother took me to the Officers Club in New London, Connecticut, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The ladies at the club were playing bingo. My grandmother let me share one of her cards, and to my amazing surprise, I won and yelled "Bingo" in my small voice. The case was a soft leather, red with gold trim--I was so excited! I kept that clock for many years traveling back and forth to Connecticut with my traveling clock tucked away in my blue leather hat box, riding the Greyhound bus to visit my grandmother.

Computers that run fast and efficiently are worth their weight in gold. When they become slow and buggy they are costly not only in lost time but also in possible lost data. One of the major reasons for computers becoming slower is Spyware. Luckily there are many different types of spyware software that will be able to identify any spyware that is on your machine and get rid of it, restoring speed to your machine.
Spyware is basically one type of malware that collects information on the user without their knowledge. Spyware is typically downloaded onto a users computer unknowingly and runs in the background of the operating system. Because of this it is basically invisible to the user. Spyware programs collect many different types of personal information. It can collect Internet surfing habits, all sites that a user visits, it can also change computer settings, collect information on passwords, change home pages and even result in the loss of Internet or other program function.
One of the main causes of spyware is piggybacking. In this manner spyware programs are downloaded unknowingly along with programs or files from the Internet that are wanted. This spyware software can quickly go to work and make a mess of your computer and operating system.
Many spyware programs are designed to display advertisements. One symptom that your computer is infected with spyware is if many pop up advertisements are shown when you are browsing the Internet. Some spyware programs are also associated with Identity Theft and fraud.
It is important to install anti spyware software on your computer to prevent any unwanted spyware from being installed. There are many different options available online and in local stores. Windows based machines are the most vulnerable for spyware but with more and more people switching to Macintosh, the spyware for the OS X operating system is becoming more prevalent.
The major anti-virus firms McAfee, Symantec and Sophos have integrated spyware programs into their anti-virus software. This allows users to "kill 2 birds with 1 stone," and protect their computers from both viruses and spyware with only one program. This anti spyware program can help clean your computer of existing spyware and prevent against future spyware infection.
As soon as you notice a difference in the speed of your machine it would make sense to get some spyware software. Also, users should be careful with the programs and files that they download from the Internet as it may contain spyware.
