The Strain ( CD)
|Author: Guillermo del/ Hogan Toro
|Read By: Ron Perlman
Learn more about The Strain:
|*Author: Del Toro, Guillermo/ Hogan, Chuck/ Perlman, Ron (NRT) *Publication Date: 2010/07/01 *Binding Type: CD/Spoken Word *Language: English *Depth: 1.50 *Width: 5.00 *Height: 5.75
From the Publisher:
A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood run cold.
In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows something is happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing . . .
So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion and save his citya city that includes his wife and sonbefore it is too late.
Acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro (PAN'S LABYRINTH) took a break from filmmaking to co-author this novel with mystery writer Chuck Hogan. The first in a planned trilogy, THE STRAIN takes del Toro's normal milieu of horror and adds a procedural, almost clinical twist. A jet has landed at JFK, with most of its passengers dead from a mysterious cause, and CDC star Dr. Ephraim Goodweather is called to the scene to investigate. His findings reveal that it's not an airborne disease or biological weapon at fault; instead vampires have brought their ancient thirst to America's most populous city, where there are buckets of blood and numerous souls to turn. THE STRAIN's breed of vampires isn't the typical Bram Stoker brand, and the legends and folklore have been supplanted by epidemiology and biology to chilling effect.

Drs. Joel Howell and Sanjay Saint think that the phrase "boots on the ground" to mean persons in the military needs to be retired as demeaning and dehumanizing. I certainly do not think of Captain First Son, USA, as a "boot" (though there were times I was inclined to give him one).
Methinks they have a point. Here's a bit of their column from the Detroit News:
"Boots on the ground" refers to the wearers of those boots. And those wearers are actual human beings, brave men and women who risk their lives in service to their country abroad.
Some will die there. Some will return home injured; many will receive care at VA facilities.
These people have lives, friends, loved ones, and all too often dreams lost and hopes abandoned on account of what happened to them.
"Boots on the ground" implicitly invites the reader to think not about the many individuals who serve, but instead to reduce those people to a single article of clothing, one that in its uniformity belies the many different types of people who wear those boots.
I will give a dollar to a doughnut that most of those who so casually use the phrase "boots on the ground" have not served. They would send the children of others into harm's way.

Both my husband and I had back surgery by Dr. Sherman with excellent results.
Had ACDF with rods and screws. I am in more pain now. The work was sloppy. He's a hack.
wHEN I SAW dR sHERMAN FIRST TIME I WAS WALKING AND DOING SOME ACTIVITY, NOW AFTER TWO MAJOR BACK SURGERIES I AM NOW TOTALLY DISABLED WITH RATING OF 72% DISABILITY DAILY PAIN AND MISERY SURGY WAS A TOTAL FAILURE AND I WILL LIVE WITH THIS THE REST OF MY LIFESome ideas to get you started:-Write about overall experiences-Write about what you like or dislike about your physician-Write about whether you would recommend-Write as if you are talking to a peer who is asking your opinion
c1-t2 fushions with hardware. Multiple broken neck and very complicated surgery. Dr, Sherman put my neck back together.
Had surgery, now I have a constant pain in my lower back and numbness in my leg with continual uncontrollable muscle spasms. The Doctor canceled my 90 day, after surgery return visit, three times and then I was told by the office I had to pay again for another doctor appointment since the 90 day period had lapsed.
I had a perfect surgical experience with Dr. Sherman. I had two rods and four screws to align my spine. I had severe pain for 10 years and am now completely pain free. The office staff is wonderful and the billing is exceptional. They got everything approved by my insurance before surgery. I have my one year follow up in May. I could not be more satisfied.

This thread has me head-scratching for a few moments; I'd never heard of the term "grain elevator" until Galah correlated with the Australian term of "Silo"!! "Ah, that's better!".
Yes, I photographed them many years ago travelling around on my bike, laden with cameras, lenses, notes and enthusiasm, out wide into the country often far from where I lived at the time, watching long grain trains unload at isolated silos — mere shimmering specks in what is often called "Big Sky Country", far from the nearest big town (but often too, central focal points that hint of a town's prosperity). These occasionally ugly contraptions on the countryside are nevertheless entrenched in the mechanisations of country life and what goes in them comes out — as cereal, rice and other staples for the kitchen table.

Although the technology industry hasn't been affected by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to the same degree as airlines, insurers or financial firms, the assault changed the playing field for many tech companies.
Due to the broad and diverse nature of the tech industry, the attacks have impacted different sectors in different ways.
Software and PC firms likely will get hit harder in coming months than semiconductor makers and biotech companies, analysts said, while some tech sectors — such as telecom and storage — have seen increased sales since the attacks.
Here's a look at how eight key tech sectors have fared since the attacks, and what analysts say is in store for them.
Software | Storage | Biotech | Personal Computers | Semiconductors Online Travel | Telecommunications Security
Software: Hit Hard by Air Travel Slowdown
For software companies, the last three weeks of the third quarter are critical, and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks made a bad situation worse, analysts said.
Most software companies book 50 percent of their sales in the last month of the quarter and as much as 40 percent in the last two weeks.
"Over the next two weeks, it's going to be very difficult for software firms to travel and conduct face-to-face meetings to close multimillion-dollar deals," said Rob Black, money manger of Gib Investment Management.
"You need to get the sales guy from the West Coast to the East Coast to close the deal. Flights are down, tensions are high right now," Black said. "There's going to be a lot more corporate layoffs. So buying software is a very low priority right now."
Business software companies are expected to be the hardest hit in the industry because of the already slowing demand for their products. Some customers are either delaying upgrades because of the shaky economy or are buying security software instead.
Software giant Oracle, for example, is forecasting lower revenues and more uncertainty in the sector because of the attack. Company executives said sales of its software license fees for the fourth quarter will drop about 15 percent from a year ago — lower than forecasts made before the attack.
In addition, the attack prompted analysts at Goldman Sachs to downgrade the stocks of several software companies this week, including Oracle, Microsoft, PeopleSoft, Siebel, and BEA Systems.
Storage: Demand for Data Storage Surges
While analysts predict a mixed picture for tech companies in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, there seems to be a consensus that the tragedies might mean more business for firms in the data storage business. As companies look to protect and backup their data, analysts expect the demand for data storage products to increase.
Stocks of storage hardware and software makers posted sharp gains this week as investors bet corporations across the country will begin revamping their data backup systems.
Out of all the tech sectors, storage might be the only one to see a rise in sales due to the attacks, said Todd Kort, an analyst with Gartner.
But even before the attacks, storage was getting a lot of positive buzz. Storage is a $30 billion-a-year business and growing rapidly.
In 1998, most companies required an estimated 116,000 terabytes of network data storage space, and today, it's closer to 1.4 million terabytes. According to IDC, the need for storage has grown 80 to 100 percent per year for the past decade.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/18/12
It was bad enough for Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb that Oakland's Tommy Kelly sacked him in the end zone for a safety. What the Raiders defensive end had to say about Kolb after Oakland's 31-27 loss to the Cardinals Friday night probably hurt much worse. ''He is skittish. He is scared back there,'' Kelly said. ''Anytime anybody gets close to him he starts looking at the refs. As a defensive lineman you love a quarterback like that. He ain't even trying to look at the routes no more. He is paying attention to us and you ain't going to get nothing done like that.'' Kolb is fighting John Skelton for the starting quarterback job, and his night was a mix of good and bad. Skelton, meanwhile, made the most of a brief opportunity. He took just five snaps, but that was enough for him to throw the first touchdown pass for either quarterback candidate this preseason. Oakland running back Mike Goodson, who fumbled the ball away twice, left later in the second quarter with a chest injury....

No. 2 LSU easily defeats Northwestern State 49-3
BATON ROUGE, La. Les Miles was all smiles.
The LSU coach demanded that his team take Northwestern State seriously and hoped they'd win impressively enough that he could rest starters who will be playing a tougher opponent in less than a week.
The second-ranked Tigers didn't disappoint him, rolling to a 49-3 victory on Saturday night that included two touchdowns apiece by Michael Ford and Spencer Ware.
"I like how our team approached this game," Miles said. "It's nice. It means that your starters were not taxed. It means you should be fresh, and as we go into a short week, that's key."
LSU (2-0) led 28-3 by halftime, allowing Miles to give a number of starters some rest in advance of the Tigers' Southeastern Conference opener at Mississippi State on Thursday night.
Junior college transfer quarterback Zach Mettenberger made his debut in relief of LSU starter Jarrett Lee to open the second half.
After Lee completed 9 of 10 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown, Mettenberger went 8 of 11 for 92 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass.
"He did good," Miles said of Mettenberger. "He came in, got comfortable, made some nice throws. I felt like he handled the offense well."
John Shaughnessy kicked a 44-yard field goal for Northwestern State (1-1), the only points the Demons have scored against LSU in 11 meetings.
LSU fans have been eager to see the 6-foot-5, 222-pound Mettenberger play since his arrival last January from Butler Community College in Kansas, where he passed for 2,678 yards and 32 touchdowns last season.
"It was a great experience and I'm looking forward to a lot more here," Mettenberger said.
The sophomore completed his first four passes for 44 yards, leading a 59-yard touchdown drive that ended with Ford's 7-yard run. Later in the third quarter he led a 10-play, 57-yard scoring drive capped by Alfred Blue's 4-yard scoring run that made it 42-3.
"He knew what his job was and in the huddle took control and went out and got the job done," said LSU leading receiver Rueben Randle, who caught five passes for 121 yards. "He earned a lot of trust from us tonight and I know that will only build throughout the season."
Mettenberger's first touchdown pass in a Tigers uniform went to Kadron Boone in the fourth quarter for the final margin.
LSU outgained Northwestern State 400 yards to 95, including 175 yards to minus-4 on the ground.
Ford finished with a team-high 72 yards rushing and now has four TDs through two games, one more than he had all of last season.
"The were impressive on television and they're even more impressive in person," said Northwestern State coach Bradley Dale Peveto, a former LSU assistant under Miles. "The speed is what you cannot really tell on video and on television. That is a fast, fast, football team. ... They are very talented, very fast, very physical."
Brad Henderson completed 16 of 26 passes for 74 yards for the Demons, who did not have one rusher gain more than 8 yards. Demons tight end Justin Aldredge caught seven passes for 58 yards, including a 25-yard reception from backup quarterback Don Canyon on a fake punt.

Hello. I was using NeroAacEnc as long as I was active Windows user. Not long time ago I began to use Ubuntu and my goal was to get the same experience. And few days ago I've tried Linux version of my favorite codec. When I compared encoded files, I noticed that they slightly defferent in the beginning and in the end of the file. In the figures below you can see the beginning of the file.
Fig.1 Source
Fig.2 Made by Linux version
Fig.3 Made by Windows version
Fig.4 Made by Windows version in Ubuntu through the Wine
To tell the truth - I can't hear any difference between those files. But it makes me crazy. Why they are different and why this difference appears only in the beginning and the end of the file? And which of the version is more accurate? I've tried to find the answer by myself but didn't succeed.
P.S. Excuse me for big pictures but I can't understand how spoiler tag is working here and I don't now how to hide them.

If you aren't being rational, how will accept what people say? Why would anyone waste their time helping you at this point?

Rare Choice AU K-17 C. Bechtler Five1834 $5 C. Bechtler Five Dollar, 140 G., RUTHERFORD, Plain Edge AU55 PCGS. K-17, R.5. All of the Bechtler five dollar gold pieces are rare. This coin dates from the Fourth Series of the Bechtler coinage, when the date and gold content were placed on the coins to avoid antagonizing federal officials contemplating a lowered gold content for U.S. coins effective August 1, 1834. The obverse shows CAROLINA GOLD./CARATS. around the outside, with AUGUST 1.1834. in an inner circle, and 140/.G./20. in the center. The reverse offers C.BECHTLER. AT RUTHERFORD. around, with 5/DOLLARS. in the center. This single obverse die, with 20 close to CARATS, was mated with three different reverse dies to produce the K-16, K-17, and K-18 varieties. The present K-17 example is distinguished by the plain edge and the periods after C. and RUTHERFORD. Much luster remains on the greenish-gold surfaces, along with hints of prooflikeness on the reverse. Some light, undistracting planchet adjustment marks, similar to those on early U.S. gold and silver coins, show on the rim above the O in CAROLINA, and opposite above ER--not surprisingly, since the Bechtler pieces at nominal weight were worth more than their face value. Light die breaks show through RUTH and above the . This lovely and rare Territorial gold piece is among the handful of finest certified, with only six AU55 pieces at PCGS and a single AU58 piece finer, none at NGC (2/07).

Feline infectious peritonitis is a serious and often fatal viral disease that affects mainly young cats from multiple-cat households.
It can occur in cats of any age, though it is more common in young cats. FIP is caused by a mutated form of a virus called feline enteric corona virus, or FECV. This virus is found in the gastrointestinal tract of cats and usually does not cause any symptoms. Some cats will show diarrhea, but the host's body, most often, limits the virus and disease from it.
Feline enteric corona virus is far more common in areas where multiple cats are housed together, such as animal shelters, cat breeding facilities and households with large numbers of cats.
Certain geographic locations with higher populations of roaming cats can show high incidence of this virus, as it spreads from cat to cat by inhalation or ingestion. Outdoor cats are more at risk of developing FIP, especially when they live in areas with high populations of feral cats.
As I mentioned, feline infectious peritonitis, or FIP, is a mutated form of the feline enteric corona virus, which usually doesn't cause disease. This means that FIP itself is not contagious. It mutates from another virus and then creates disease as a result. This is a very important point, especially with a FIP-infected cat in a multicat home. This situation does not mean the other cats in the household are necessarily at a higher risk of developing FIP, though there is an increased chance for contracting feline enteric corona virus.
The unique thing about the feline enteric corona virus is that it can cause the disease within two weeks after exposure or it can remain harmless for years or suddenly mutate into a deadly form. As a result, whether a cat develops FIP depends more on the ability of the feline enteric corona virus to mutate inside the cat, rather than from cat-to-cat transmission.
Lets talk about the symptoms associated with FIP. These cats will sometimes show few symptoms, though one might notice lethargy, as these cats often endure fevers that will cycle up and down. With progression, these patients develop decreased appetites, weight loss and then possibly a hallmark sign of the disease depending on which form it takes. There are two forms of FIP.
The wet form, or effusive form, is characterized by the development of a straw-colored clear fluid in the abdomen and sometimes the chest. This form usually progresses rapidly and is fatal.
The second form, the dry form, is characterized by enlarged lymph nodes that can usually be palpated in the abdomen. This form is not as rapidly progressing as the dry form but, long term, it too is invariably fatal. Definitive diagnosis of FIP is difficult in the living patient.
We can measure what are called antibody titers to FECV, and if these titers are high and the patient has the clinical signs of the disease, we can make a strong case for FIP infection. That said, definitive diagnosis usually involves necropsy.
FIP spreads within the cat's body via the immune system and uses the immune response to worsen the disease. Essentially, the cat's body spreads the mutated virus. We have tried to treat these patients with immune modifying medications to try to lesson the immune response and thus the symptoms associated with it. No treatments have proven effective in the long term.
There is ongoing research into therapy for FIP that has shown some promise using specific immune stimulating medication, though it is not available for general use at this time. There is a vaccine developed to prevent FIP, but because it protects against only a few strains of the feline enteric corona virus, it is not considered to be highly efficacious.

Rafael Nadal seemed totally unconcerned over his strapped knee as he took out German veteran Tommy Haas 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in the second round of the Australian Open, but Mardy Fish seemed to be bothered by everything. The American No. 1 slumped to a 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 defeat at the hands of the Colombian Alejandro Falla out on Court 3 on Wednesday, and then suggested his opponent had used frequent treatment for cramping as a ploy. Having admitted that he didn't play well and made too many errors, Fish said, "The third set (which Fish served for at 5-4) was obviously pretty important, knowing he was struggling, I guess," he said. "Maybe not. Maybe that was a ploy. Didn't seem like he was having too much trouble during the point. So it was a good tactic on his part." Players are allowed to receive treatment for cramping during changeovers twice during a match -- a point of controversy among many players -- provided it is for the same limb. Falla had the trainer on more than twice, switching...

Figured this was appropriate to post. While Parker didn't have siblings when he was on the inside, he might BE the sibling in the next go round! (yeah, they tell me its almost guaranteed to have like a 32-33 weeker next due to irritable uterus and incompitant cervix among other things) But figured I'd share. This isn't the best copy/paste job, so if you PAN me your email I'll forward it to you! It's in this month's Pediatrics for Parents.
Supporting Siblings When the Baby Is in the
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit By Linda Rector
Many families happily look forward
to the birth of a new baby,
but if this newborn is admitted to
the neonatal intensive care unit
(NICU), the experience has the
potential to be frightening and
possibly overwhelming. This often
unexpected situation can affect
every member of the family, including
big brothers and sisters.
Contrary to some parents' feeling
that children don't need to be
burdened with their new sibling's
health problems—or they're too
young to understand—children can
in fact benefit from receiving accurate
information about their new
brother or sister's diagnosis and
hospitalization. The amount and
type of information they need, as
well as when they should receive
it, depends upon their age and
developmental level.
Understanding and
Supporting Your Child
There are several ways to support
siblings during the baby's NICU
hospitalization, and the sibling's
age can impact how she may
respond to this experience. Here
are some helpful hints about understanding
and supporting the
child whose newborn brother or
sister is in the neonatal intensive
care unit:
Older Infant Siblings
• Separation from parents is
likely to be the most difficult
aspect of this experience for
them because they tend to
go through separation and
stranger anxiety. Young children
this age can benefit from
familiar, consistent caregivers
and, whenever possible, parents
should take turns visiting
the new baby to help increase
the amount of time a parent is
available to stay with them.
• Older infants are developing
trusting relationships with
caregivers, so it is beneficial
to limit the number of their
Toddler Siblings
• Toddlers use regression as a
coping mechanism when under
stress. The time it takes them
to regain their developmental
skill(s) depends upon the
child, as well as the amount
of stress they experience
and the amount of support
they receive. It is generally
recommended that parents
acknowledge and praise when
their toddler behaves age appropriately
rather than criticize
unwanted behavior.
• Toddlers can participate in the
baby's NICU hospitalization
by picking out a special balloon
or stuffed animal to give
to the baby. They can sometimes
have difficulty sharing
and may decide they want to
keep the balloon or stuffed
animal for themselves. If this
occurs, it can be helpful to
recognize that when toddlers
are stressed it may not be the
best time to reinforce a sharing
Preschool Siblings
• Preschoolers can believe they
have somehow caused the
baby to be hospitalized in
the NICU because of something
they did, said, thought,
wished, or prayed. They may
not share this information with
their parents or family because
they are afraid they will be
punished or that their parents
and family will no longer love
• Preschoolers can also believe
that the next time they are sick
they will be hospitalized just
like the baby. They can have
difficulty understanding the
differences between the baby's
diagnosis or problems and any
illness they may have, such
as a headache, stomachache,
fever, tonsillitis, or flu.
• They tend to literally interpret
what they are told or overhear
and can easily misunderstand
medical information. It can be
helpful to emphasis that they
are in good health so when

as well.
Elementary School-Age
• Children this age are concrete
thinkers and tend to have
some knowledge of human
anatomy, but this information
may not always be accurate. It
is often helpful to use simple
diagrams or anatomy books
to help them have a better
understanding of the baby's
diagnosis, treatment and other

determining what information is shared with their teacher.
Preteen Siblings
• Preteens are going through puberty, and privacy issues tend to be important. This can be an issue if visitors are staying in their home or if the preteen is staying away from home.
• Preteens may be aware of how this experience affects their parents and may attempt to hide their feelings and concerns in an effort to protect them. Parents may want to share some of their own emotions and concerns about this experience to encourage siblings to do the same. It can be important to recognize there are some parental emotions and concerns that can be too frightening and overwhelming for preteen siblings and should not be shared with them. Also some siblings can cope very well by quietly observing what is going on around them. Not sharing does not necessarily mean the sibling is not coping well.
Adolescent Siblings
• Many adolescents are comfortable using the computer and Internet to search for information but may need assistance locating current accurate medical information about the baby's issues.
• When asked questions about the baby's NICU experience, adolescents may nod their head or say yes rather than ask for clarification because they don't want to appear unintelligent. It can be helpful to ask for their understanding of the experience and then address any misunderstandings or misconceptions. Also asking an adolescent sibling his thoughts and opinions about the baby's issues can help him feel a valued member of the team.
Preparing Your Child for the NICU Visit
Preparing siblings for their visits to the NICU can help them better understand what to expect and for some siblings can help them to decide if they want to visit. One way to prepare siblings is to use the sensory approach, or sharing what they will see and hear, and possibly smell and feel. Another way is the step-by-step approach, or what will happen first, second, third, and so on. These two approaches can also be combined.
It not only is helpful to prepare siblings for what will happen during their visit to the NICU, but also what can happen before they're allowed to see or, when the new baby is well enough, to hold their new baby brother or sister. Some of these issues can include having their temperature taken, their immunizations or recent illness history discussed and washing their hands in a sink that can be very different from the one at home. You can explain why these precautions are important to the health of the baby.
Visiting the NICU
Many siblings are interested in visiting the NICU, but they should be invited rather than forced or coerced. Visits to the NICU can provide opportunities for siblings to bond and interact with the baby, as well as have a better understanding of what life at home may be like after the baby is discharged. Most NICUs have written sibling policies and procedures and obtaining a written copy of these can help to reduce the number of questions families may have. Siblings tend to greatly benefit from visiting the baby in the NICU, but these benefits will vary upon the sibling's age. Keep in mind your child's age when she visits her baby brother or sister in the NICU:
Toddler Siblings
• Toddlers can believe the baby is lost. The baby was in Mommy's tummy, but is not there now. Visits to the NICU can help them to see where the baby is and that the baby is being well cared for. If toddlers don't visit the NICU, they can believe the baby is lost.
• Visits to the NICU can also help toddlers better understand where Mommy and Daddy go when they visit the baby.
Preschool Siblings
• Preschoolers tend to have very limited knowledge of and experience with hospitals and may have a variety of misconceptions about the experience. Their visits to the NICU can help to reduce these.
• Visiting the baby provides opportunities for preschoolers to learn ways to safely interact with their baby brother or sister before it comes home.
Elementary School-Age
• Visits to the NICU can help to reduce misconceptions and misunderstandings about what is happening with the baby and at the hospital as well as give them opportunities to learn some of the baby's care.
• Children this age are able to meet some consistent members of the baby's health care team that can help provide reassurance that the baby will continue to be well cared for even when their family is not at the hospital.
• Elementary school-aged children can have concerns about pain issues and are able to recognize this is an important issue for the baby's healthcare team as well.
Continued on page 20
Page 20 Pediatrics for Parents Volume 25, Numbers 3-4
Preteen and Adolescent
• Visits to the NICU provide opportunities
for preteen and adolescent
siblings to learn ways
to care for the baby. Some of
these siblings will have an active
role in caring for the baby
after the baby is home.
• Teens tend to have greater
knowledge about health issues,
but this information is
not always correct or may not
apply to this particular situation.
These siblings are getting
information from family
members (directly and from
conversations going on around
them), school, friends, neighbors,
the media, and the Internet.
They can need assistance
in applying this information to
this particular situation as well
as making sure it is accurate.
Some preteen and adolescent
siblings may use consistent
members of the baby's healthcare
team as a resource for
Big brothers and sisters are important
family members, so they
should be included in this significant
family experience. But there
can be times that families will

available who have specialized
training and experience to assist
and support families with these

The Los Alamos Board of Education recently voted to solidify an agreement with Highlands University that will make it easier for the Los Alamos Public School District's teachers to attain Master's Degrees in their chosen specialty.
The teachers' tuition is expected to be funded by LAPS, however, Assistant Superintendent of Schools Gerry Washburn revealed the university's interim dean of education, Dr. Belinda Maumbach, is currently working on securing a grant "that would fund most, if not all of the tuition" for this year's group of teachers who've already signed up for the program.
"In my mind, we have a very good partner who's very anxious to make this program work and to help us find ways to fund it so we have a sustained path forward, at least for the next three years," Washburn said at the meeting to the board.
The program provides six Master's Degree programs, that include Master of Arts degrees in counseling, the arts and special education, educational leadership, and curriculum and instruction with elementary emphasis and secondary emphasis. The first session is slated to begin some time in January at the high school. More categories are due to be added in the future as the program grows.
If the student government at Los Alamos High School has its way, or more accurately the entire student body, students at the school could see a massive revamp of the dress code.
Student Council President Soumyo Lahiri-Gupta, Vice President Jason Dunn and other officers of the council approached the Los Alamos Board of Education about making modifications a recent meeting.
According to Dunn, their survey questions to the student population revealed two main gripes: the required length a pair of shorts must meet and the way the dress code is enforced.
During the presentation, Board Secretary Matt Williams asked the students in attendance just how difficult it is to find shorts that go to four inches above the knee, the code's current requirement.
"It's very hard," said one student, while another added that Capri pants are another option, but "they aren't shorts." The students added that it gets very hot in the classrooms during the summer months, making it very uncomfortable.
At the meeting, they presented the school board with a report of their findings as well as a suggested replacement of the code.
"We believe that the adoption of this dress code will improve the overall morale at Los Alamos High School and increase student spirit," Dunn said.
When Carolyn Torres, a math and science teacher at Chamisa Elementary School, won the Teacher of the Year Award for Los Alamos earlier this year, she automatically became a finalist for the state title — just like the 89 other teachers that won for their districts throughout the state.
Tuesday, it was announced she won the state title.
To put that in perspective, there are roughly 860 public and charter schools throughout the state, each staffed by an average of 20 teachers.
Chamisa Elementary celebrated the day with a school assembly, where staff and her peers congratulated Torres as she sat where she seemed to be the most comfortable — right in the middle of her third grade class.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gene Schmidt highlighted this fact during a special school assembly honoring Torres's accomplishment.
"I think of all of the schools, of which there are more than 800," he said to the students, "I think of all the teachers in those schools of which there are more than 16,000, and here in Chamisa, you have the very best one."
Carol Torres, center, shares a moment with her third grade students during a special school assembly honoring her accomplishment of becoming New Mexico's Teacher of the Year. Check out the Los Alamos Monitor Wednesday for more coverage on the honor.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sometimes the best isn't good enough: Most American fourth- and eighth-graders still lack basic skills in math and reading despite record high scores on a national exam.
Yes, today's students are doing better than those who came before them. But the improvements have come at a snail's pace.
The 2013 Nation's Report Card released Thursday finds that the vast majority of the students still are not demonstrating solid academic performance in either math or reading. Stubborn gaps persist between the performances of white children and their Hispanic and African-American counterparts, who scored much lower.
Overall, just 42 percent of fourth-graders and 35 percent of eighth-graders scored at or above the proficient level in math. In reading, 35 percent of fourth graders and 36 percent of eighth graders hit that mark.
Still, as state and federal policies evolve in the post-No Child Left Behind era, the nation's school kids are doing better today on the test than they did in the early 1990s, when such tracking started, with more improvement in math than in reading. Students of all races have shown improvement over the years.
From 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Chamisa Elementary will be hosting probably one of the most important events a parent can attend to help in their child's education.
The event will be held inside the school's gym, and parents have the option to buy a pizza dinner.
Called "Readers Raise the Roof," the event is doubling as an introduction to reading for students in pre-K through third grade, as well as a workshop for parents looking for ideas on how to keep their kids interest up in reading when they aren't in school.
While the event is designed to be fun, there's a serious motive behind it said Debbie Smith, the principal at Chamisa Elementary School.
"At the youngest stages, a child's first and most important teachers are their parents," she said. "What parents do their children model, so what we want parents to do is model these best practices."
In an effort to reduce costs and make things more efficient, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gene Schmidt told the Los Alamos Board of Education he's looking to streamline the structure of his administration.
Already, he's made the former head of human resources, Gerry Washburn, assistant superintendent, and put human resources under Washburn's watch. At a recent work session with the board, Schmidt proposed even more changes.
One of the more notable moves is his request would put the technology department under the curriculum department.
"There are a lot of drivers behind this," he told the board. "One of those is that increasingly, technology should be a support mechanism for curriculum." Schmidt also said that by putting technology under another department, there will be much more transparency in the department as far as procurement and use of technology is concerned.
"When technology was working as its own independent system, there weren't really checks, oversights and balances, Schmidt said. "By putting the technology department under the auspices of director of curriculum and instruction, I believe we would have an oversight mechanism to make sure that the technology purchases and the infrastructure are used to benefit overall student achievement."
With the availability of commercial real estate space in the Los Alamos market already starting to widen, the Los Alamos Public Schools is looking to keep on top of the changes by doing a little house cleaning.
Besides being a school system to 3,000 plus students, the district is also one of the biggest landlords in town, in that it owns several commercial properties that house everything from small businesses to some off-site offices of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Most of the buildings were at one time schools, revamped into commercial property as the population of school children in Los Alamos shrank through the years.
The school district makes more than $2 million a year from leasing its properties, and will be soon adding to those revenues from the Trinity Site, once the new Smith's Marketplace retail space is up and running on
Trinity Drive.
While LANL's relationship with the schools has helped keep its properties occupied in a soft market, the district's chief operations officer Joan Ahlers informed the Los Alamos Board of Education recently that this could change.
Though officials have taken a very conservative approach with the numbers, the Los Alamos Public School District is projecting a $2.9 million deficit in fiscal year 2015.
The Los Alamos Board of Education conducted a work session Thursday to discuss the issue.
Factors district officials included in their projections included hikes in health care costs, and increases in utility rates, along with regular salary increases.
"Utility rate increases are budgeted as per discussion with Los Alamos County as follows: electric reflects a 6 percent (increase) for FY15, gas reflects a 5 percent increase in FY15 and a 10 percent increase in FY18, water reflects a 5 percent increase in FY15 and FY16," according to a statement in a worksheet on the session.
While a reduction in teaching staff was included in the district's projections. Possible school closings or support staff reductions were not.
"No cuts for classified staff are addressed in this analysis; classified staffing levels will still be required to support school sites at their levels," read the statement, which included teacher assistants, secretaries, clerks and custodians in the analysis.
Driving the deficit is also a projected steady decline in enrollment, which is where a reduction in teacher positions came from.

Size doesn't matter to West Cumbrian band Hammerhead
Last updated at 20:38, Thursday, 17 May 2012
One West Cumbrian band has a positive way of looking at playing to a small crowd.
For Workington heavy rockers Hammerhead it's all about having the chance to "mingle" with their hard core fans.
Hammerhead have risen in popularity over the years thanks to their "underground" cult status.
They've played gigs all over the country and are due to perform in their second overseas gig at the Hard Rock Hell Ibiza Road Trip on June 1.
Their first international festival in 2010 was Metal Cova, in Barcelona, and they are due to play another festival, in Italy next September.
Guitarist Buzz Elliott says: "To some bands that have really made it, playing to a small crowd may seem catastrophic.
"But the way we look at it is that you're playing to your fans even if it's a small crowd.
"It gives you time to mingle and speak to the fans after a gig which is the most important thing.
"We once had a guy who came all the way from Japan who didn't speak much English but had followed us for years, and it was really humbling."
The band was formed in 1978 by guitarist Brian Hodgson and bassist Steve Archer from Seaton.
The pair had played in various bands but decided to start writing their own material.
Around a year later they spotted Buzz playing with his band at Workington's Carnegie Theatre, and he was recruited, with drummer Tony Steel following and singer Steven 'Pecker' Woods joining them recently.
The band played gigs within a 150-mile radius in the early days and enjoyed moderate success in the 1980s before drifting apart.
They joined up again in 2005 to play a gig at a friend's wedding and then decided to reform.
Hammerhead have since played a host of national festivals alongside bands such as Uriah Heep, UFO, Diamond Head and Budgie.
They play their own songs, have released two albums and class themselves as a cross between Wishbone Ash and Black Sabbath.
Says Buzz: "Even though we're playing songs from the 1970s there is still a big fan base for us.
"Despite being an underground cult sort of band our music is being discovered in all kinds of places around the globe.
"This is largely due to the internet but a lot of our oldest fans overseas have told me that before the dawn of the internet they used to send cassette tapes to other rock fans all over the world."
The band is playing a warm-up gig at Workington's Vine Bar tonight at 9pm.
Entrance is free.

All states mandate at least 21 tests for devastating conditions, report says
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Four years ago, only about one in three babies in the United States was born in a state that required newborn to be screened for a host of conditions. But by the end of 2008, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had either laws or rules requiring newborn screening for at least 21 disorders, a new report finds.
"The states have really made outstanding progress in expanding newborn screening programs," said Jennifer Howse, president of the March of Dimes, which issued the report Wednesday.
The panel of tests checks for genetic, metabolic, hormonal and functional disorders, according to the organization. Many of the disorders cause no visible symptoms in a baby until after damage, often permanent, is done. Some of the disorders lead to mental retardation, and others end in death.
The first test that was made available was for phenylketonuria (PKU), a condition in which the body can't process part of a protein called phenylalanine. The disorder affects about one child in every 25,000 born in the United States, according to the March of Dimes. Left untreated, phenylalanine accumulates in the body and can cause serious brain damage and mental retardation. Changes in diet can prevent these problems from occurring, but the diet must be started soon after birth and followed for the rest of the child's life to prevent brain damage.
Another disorder now tested for is congenital hypothyroidism, which affects an estimated one in 5,000 U.S. babies. Replacement thyroid hormone is considered a simple and effective treatment for the disorder. But without a newborn screening test, treatment might not begin until the lack of thyroid hormone causes brain and growth retardation.
"Any time you can proactively identify a problem and treat it, you can avoid a lot of complications and lifelong con

Router Remote
It uses the android library Ohmenu available at http://github.com/omtinez/ohmenu to implement an intuitive, modern user interface to the application menu.
This application is open source and released under BSD license. For more info visit:

ECUControl BETA
For the app to work it is required to have one of those cheap ELM327 bluetooth dongles. If you don't have one, I highly recommend to get one.
If you have comments or suggestions I would rather have them by email, don't waste your time with the comments or ratings because I can't reply to those and this is not a final product, just a BETA.
Now let's get a little more technical... this is what the app can do at this moment:
- Connect to the bluetooth dongle, at least with my phone, ECU and dongle, but yours might not work
- Give real-time data of the gauges shown on the screenshots above. In the future, it will support more gauges however, the speed at which the gauges are updated will most likely not get any better. Right now, you might experience a delay of up to 2 seconds...
- Manual input of OBD commands, mostly for debugging purposes, but feel free to mess with that at your own risk.
- Let the user select the gauges from a list and customize his own gauges and how they display
- HUD (Heads Up Display) using the video from the camera as a background instead of the plain black
What the app will do in the near future:
- Read and diagnose check engine light codes
- Improve the horrible-looking user interface
- Fix certain bugs regarding the settings management
What the app is expected to do in the long term:
- Make it 'social' by sharing highest gauge values, like max speed or max rpm, also share the different gauge displays that people make up
- Support different skins for the gauge displays
- This is a really long shot, but I might take a stab at dynamic ECU mapping (tunning)
Known issues:
- The app is in Kilometers per hour instead of Miles per hour, and the settings to change it might not be functional yet
- You may not be able to connect... once again, I only have one set of phone-ECU-bt dongle to test with, so that will take time to diagnose and solve
- The user interface sucks, I also didn't put much effort on the vertical gauges display, I will put more work on that in the near future, also the application icon will be changed
- The gauges seem slow and sluggish. I tried my best to make the gauges look smooth, even though the apparent delay is inevitable, the bottleneck is the crappy bluetooth dongle and the ELM327 protocol
- The connection gets lost at random times, I really don't know how to look into this one...
- The brake sensor displays highly inaccurate data
Ohphone Free
IMPORTANT: This app does not work for all phones, specially the call and hang up features.
IMPORTANTE: Esta aplicación no funciona en todos los teléfonos, especialmente las características de colgar y descolgar llamadas. Asegúrate de que las operaciones de llamada funcionan correctamente antes de que expire el periodo de prueba para poder recibir una devolución del dinero. Si el periodo de prueba ha expirado, no hay nada que pueda hacer para devolverte el dinero.
