The Big Questions All Newlyweds Face—and How to Deal
The Big Questions All Newlyweds Face—and How to Deal
You've conquered actually getting married (whew!), but you're not at happily ever after just yet. Turns out, experts say the first year of marriage can be one of the toughest you'll face as a couple. "Until the wedding, the idea of marriage is just an idea," says Tracy McMillan, author of Why You're Not Married…Yet. Now that you've switched your relationship status from "engaged" to "married," here are the most perplexing problems you'll encounter in marriage year one.SEE MORE
Newlywed Question: How do we deal with money?If you and your partner haven't broached the money subject, you're not alone. "I'm always shocked at the subjects couples seem to forget to discuss before the wedding, like how to manage a budget," says Deborah Dunn, L.M.F.T., a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice in Raleigh, N.C., and the author of Stupid About Men: 10 Rules for Getting Romance Right.
How to deal with money as newlywedsGet a copy of your credit scores at annualcreditreport.com, which will show your credit standing without requiring any additional feeds or "credit monitoring" programs, says Kim Fusaro, marriage and weddings expert for Glamour.com's own Save the Date blog. Come to the table with research about how much you each owe (credit card bills, student debt, car loans), what your month-to-month expenses are, and what you want to save for (a house? vacations? erasing debt?). "The initial conversation is a good time to touch on your plans for the future. Will one of you quit working once you have babies? When do you hope to retire?" Fusaro says. She adds, "Don't feel obligated to combine all your money. A joint account that you each contribute to is great for vacations and big purchases, but it's not 'wrong' if you want to keep most (or even all) of your money separate or to combine everything."
Newlywed Question: Why are we suddenly arguing about the little things?"Most couples argue about small nothings—completely common events such as who controls the remote or leaving a soapy dishrag on the sink," says Patricia Worthey, Ph.D., an Edmonds, Wash.-based psychologist and certified Gottman relationship therapist. These little arguments are especially frequent with newlyweds. "During the first year of living together, newlywed couples are undergoing some unique major transitions." In other words: You're both adjusting to your new life—of course you'll feel some growing pains.
How to deal with little "nothing" arguments as newlywedsFirst, breathe. "If you can't pick a dinner restaurant without a petty squabble, you probably both need to exhale," Fusaro says. "Make an effort to shake off the stress by taking weekend bike rides together or signing up for a couples massage. Then, when you're both feeling calm, have a sit-down conversation about your communication style. There's a good chance neither of you enjoys the bickering, so discuss how you can make decisions without butting heads. A good first step: Alternate who gets to pick the movie or how you'll spend your Sunday afternoon. Make a conscious effort to let your spouse 'win' when the decision isn't all that important."
Newlywed Question: How often do we have to see each other's families?For better or for worse, your family is now his—and his is now yours. That can come with a whole new list of responsibilities, in the form of lending your mother-in-law a hand when she needs a ride home from the doctor's office, your husband helping your dad tile the patio, or just extra face time during the holidays. New duties can cause resentment and tension in your relationship while you get used to the new roles—even more so if you don't especially like your new in-laws (or he doesn't like his).
How to deal with seeing each other's families as newlywedsCommunication is key, Fusaro says. "Discuss your expectations. Is a once-a-month visit with your in-laws enough? Can you see them less frequently?" she says. "You probably dealt with splitting up the holidays when you were engaged, but it can't hurt to review your plans going forward. Beyond the holidays, if you grew up seeing your grandparents every Sunday, you might want to continue the tradition. But if your husband plans for the two of you to see his parents only every other month, give him a pass on alternating weekends."
Newlywed Question: Why didn't I know this about him before?You thought you knew everything about your husband before you got married, like not to talk to him pre-coffee—just like he knows not to disturb you during your A.M. beauty rituals. "But eventually your spouse is going to do something that has you asking, 'Wait, who did I marry?'" Fusaro says. "Think about how different a person you were five or 10 years ago. Assuming you're with your guy for the long haul, you should expect him to grow and change over the years too." And besides surprises like his newfound interest in tap dance or veganism, expecting you can predict exactly how he'll act in a certain situation can lead to tension and disappointment when it doesn't play out that way.
How to deal with surprises about each other as newlywedsYou've changed, right? So it makes sense that he'll change too, and that's a good thing. "Do you really want to spend the rest of your life listening to that Nickelback CD he was playing on repeat when you met?" Fusaro says. (Spoiler alert: No!) If he starts getting excited about fly-fishing and salsa dancing, she says, encourage him. He'll still be the person you fell in love with. Don't feel duped or shocked that you didn't know everything about your husband from the beginning—just try to enjoy the discovery.
Newlywed Question: Why aren't we as passionate as we were before getting married?Like many couples, you've progressed from lunch dates, date nights, sleepovers, and weekends to being together just about all the time. Passion during every minute of every day isn't necessarily relaxed—or rational. "Couples don't seem to know how to make the transition from the excitement of getting married and being euphorically 'in love' with each other to the more realistic pace of everyday life," says Dunn. Trouble for newlyweds can start when couples accuse each other of not caring as much as they did before getting married. "During those times the temptation is to feed the hunger for excitement and emotional intimacy in unhealthy ways."
How to deal with staying passionate as a newlywedBe realistic. McMillan suggests staying focused on you—in a good way—to keep feeling positive about yourself, which will make you confident about your marriage. "Marriage is not, of itself, going to make you feel like a whole person," she says. "Only developing yourself can do that. So don't become so fused into your couplehood that you stop building your own life, your own interests, your own self."

Meet Banana Joe, Winner of 2013 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (PHOTO)
Look at that face! That is the face of a winner.
Banana Joe is the first affenpinscher to win the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. He got the title last night during the 137th annual event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. His win marked the ninth for the toy group, but the first for his breed.
Banana Joe, who usually goes by "Joey," will turn 6 next month and will retire. He won't be returning to Bowmansville, PA; instead, the New York Times says he'll head back to the Netherlands, where he was bred and born. Judge Michael Dougherty told the NY Times of Joey, "This little fella seemed to want it a touch more. He's a fantastic affenpinscher, with a fantastic face, a great body. I've never had my hands on a better affenpinscher. Ever."
Joey won over these other group winners: Matisse, the Portuguese water dog; Honor, a bichon frisé; Jewel, an American foxhound; Swagger, an Old English sheepdog; Oakley, a German wirehaired pointer; and Adam, a smooth fox terrier.
Last year's winner was Malachy the Pekingese; in 2011, it was Hickory the Scottish deerhound; in 2010, it was Sadie the Scottish terrier.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/358,868 filed Feb. 21, 2006, the specification of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, which is a divisional of prior U.S. application Ser. No. 10/606,668, filed Jun. 25, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,047,056 issued May 16, 2006, the specification of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to optical oximeter sensors, and in particular to hat-based pulse oximeter sensors.
Many types of optical sensors are used to measure physiological characteristics of a patient. Typically, an optical sensor provides emitted light which is then scattered through a portion of a patient's tissue and detected. Various characteristics of a patient can be determined from analyzing such light, such as oxygen saturation, pulse rate, tissue bilirubin, etc.
Pulse oximetry is typically used to measure various blood flow characteristics including, but not limited to, the blood-oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood, the volume of individual blood pulsations supplying the tissue, and the rate of blood pulsations corresponding to each heartbeat of a patient. Measurement of these characteristics has been accomplished by use of a non-invasive sensor which scatters light through a portion of the patient's tissue where blood perfuses the tissue, and photoelectrically senses the absorption of light in such tissue. The amount of light absorbed is then used to calculate the amount of blood constituent being measured.
The light scattered through the tissue is selected to be of one or more wavelengths that are absorbed by the blood in an amount representative of the amount of the blood constituent present in the blood. The amount of transmitted light scattered through the tissue will vary in accordance with the changing amount of blood constituent in the tissue and the related light absorption. For measuring blood oxygen level, such sensors have typically been provided with a light source that is adapted to generate light of at least two different wavelengths, and with photodetectors sensitive to both of those wavelengths, in accordance with known techniques for measuring blood oxygen saturation.
Known non-invasive sensors include devices that are secured to a portion of the body, such as a finger, an ear or the scalp. In animals and humans, the tissue of these body portions is perfused with blood and the tissue surface is readily accessible to the sensor.
Certain types of oximeter sensors are applied to a patient's forehead. To aid in the sensor's proper placement and the proper application of pressure by the sensor to the forehead site, some forehead sensors are maintained at the forehead site by either the assistance of an adhesive layer and/or a headband. While these approaches are helpful, there is still a need for an improved and easy way of placing, retaining, and locating the sensor on the forehead of its user.
The present invention provides an oximeter sensor which will attach to a patient's forehead in an improved manner. In certain embodiments, the securing of the sensor to the forehead of the patient is achieved by attaching the sensor to the inside of hat which is worn by the patient when the sensor is in use.
In one embodiment, the present invention is an oximeter sensor, having: a substrate having a shape similar to a shape of at least a portion of a patient's forehead and including a section adapted to substantially fit over a portion of a forehead of a patient; an emitter disposed on the substrate at a position located on the section; and a detector disposed on the substrate at a distance from the emitter.
In one embodiment, the substrate is resilient and has a shape conformable to the forehead of a patient.
In one embodiment, the substrate includes an adhesive layer for adhering to the forehead of a patient.
In one embodiment, a hat is used for holding the sensor against the patient's forehead.
In one embodiment, the substrate is adhered to the inside of said hat.
In one embodiment, the substrate is adhesively attached to the inside of the hat. Alternately, the substrate is sewn into the hat.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for determination of a blood characteristic, including: applying an emitter and a detector to spaced-apart positions on a forehead of a patient in the lower forehead region, above the eyebrow, with both the detector and the emitter placed above and predominantly lateral of the iris; securing the emitter and detector to the patient; emitting electromagnetic radiation with the emitter; detecting electromagnetic radiation scattered by the tissues of the forehead by the detector and producing a detector signal; and determining a blood characteristic in the patient from the detector signal.
In one embodiment, the securing of the emitter and the detector to the patient's forehead is achieved by attaching the emitter and the detector to an inside of a hat, and placing the hat on the head of the patient.
For a further understanding of the nature and advantages of the present invention, reference should be made to the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The embodiments of the present invention are directed towards configuring a reflectance-type oximeter sensor for placement in a hat in order to provide a relatively easy means of placing, retaining, and locating the sensor on the forehead of the user. With regard to the location of the sensor on the patient's forehead, it is preferred to have the sensor be located on the lower forehead region, above the eyebrow, with the sensor optics (emitter and detector) located above and predominantly lateral to or centered over the iris. The oximeter sensor can be attached to the inside band of a hat. The precise location of the reflectance sensor in the hat allows appropriate placement of the sensor in the optimal forehead location by a user not skilled in sensor placement. It has been found that the placement of a reflectance forehead sensor is a factor in the accurate determination of a blood flow characteristic, due to the vasculature of the forehead. In addition, it has been shown that having a certain amount of pressure on the forehead sensor can reduce the incidence of venous pulsations effects on the oximeter reading. The placement of the sensor in the band of the hat would minimize these issues, as the placement of a hat is fairly repeatable and predictable. A hat-based oximeter sensor as embodied by the present invention can be used on patients in clinical settings, or by athletes, soldiers, firemen, or in any environment where information related to a physiological parameter, such as heart rate or oxygen saturation information is desired.
The sensor is shown in a multi-layer structure having a face portion 112. The face 112 is the surface that is placed against the patient's skin. The face material may have an adhesive layer such as an acrylic or synthetic rubber adhesive, or it may be without adhesive, and typically made from a foam PVC or foam polyurethane material. The face 112 component is preferably black so as to minimize the incidence of reflected light that does not go through the tissue. Below the face layer 112 are two windows 114. The windows 114 are generally a clear component, such as for example, a thin film or a clear molded plastic component that makes contact with the skin. The thin film window may be a polyurethane or an acrylic adhesive on a polyester film. The intent of the window 114 is to provide an efficient optical coupling mechanism between the optical components (emitter and detector) and the skin. Located above the face 114, is a Faraday shield 116. The Faraday shield 116 is a conductive material, for example, a copper film or copper mesh, that is electrically connected to the monitor ground to help shield the detector from extraneous electrical interference while passing light to the detector. Next located are the LED 106 and the detector 108. Above the LED and the detector is a mask layer, which may include more than one mask layer. The mask layer 118 is generally a thin film that is intended to block light from entering the back side of the sensor, or from traveling directly from emitter to detector (shunt light). The purpose of the mask 118 is to ensure that all of the light reaching the detector is light from the emitter that has traveled through the capillary bed. Above the mask layer 118 is the back layer 120. The back or the top layer is the non-tissue contacting surface of the sensor. This layer may include a cosmetic finish for the sensor, which can be white with some printed artwork identifying the sensor. Typical materials may be Velcro loop, or soft PVC foam. In a case where the sensor is mounted inside a hat or cap, the top layer is sometimes referred to as the back layer. In this case, the back layer may include a double stick adhesive so that it can be mounted inside the hat.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the essential characteristics thereof. For example, the sensor may include adhesive layers for adhering to the inside of a hat or the user's skin, or that that the sensor may be sewn into the hat. These other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention, which is set forth in the following claims.

Honestly I don't see Askren rolling through a few fights and a championship. IMO he will come into the UFC in similar fashion to Lombard. The competition in the top 5 is going to be significantly different than most his fights. I see him being competitive in the top 5 and his wrestling makes him a threat to anyone. That said, I don't have him picked against any one of the top 3 today.
I guess we'll find out sooner than later. I'm sure Alvarez is something pissed right now.

Every company adopting public cloud computing as part of its IT service delivery strategy is faced with the decision of which applications to migrate to the cloud and how. Some common cloud migration options we discuss with customers include:
- Migrating to a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider
- Rebuilding an existing application in the cloud
- Migrating an existing application "as is" to the cloud
Determining the right option depends on your business objectives and the application itself. Each option has benefits and drawbacks, but a business will often decide on an approach without adequately researching a comprehensive migration strategy. And without ample planning and consideration, the cost and complexity of migrating these applications can lead to delayed cloud projects that are over budget.
Migrating to SaaS
For a new business looking for application services at a low up-front cost, a SaaS application is often a "no brainer." However, when a business decides to migrate from an existing on-premise application to a new SaaS application, things get more complicated. There are data migrations to consider, transition time and labor, lost customizations, training, and "sunk costs" that can't be recovered to factor in. Many SaaS vendors offer tools and services to help customers migrate data from legacy applications to the new SaaS application, but it's important to research the migration process thoroughly before making a purchasing decision, especially if you've invested a lot of time in customizations or IT service integration.
Depending on the application and the availability of migration tools to assist in the migration, these factors can offset some of the gains of SaaS. Plus, the business risks additional time and expense if unforeseen migration challenges arise along the way. Businesses considering moving to SaaS should also consider what I call "SaaS in a box" or "SaaS-lite" applications. These applications are typically offered by vendors as part of a partner program or ecosystem like the GoGrid Exchange and deliver some SaaS benefits with more customer control. These templates can also be used to simplify the migration of an existing on-premise application to the cloud. (more…) «Cloud Migration: Whatever You Do, Have a Plan»

As long as it's not called iPhone 4S2.
Regarding the use of the name "iPhone 5"
No one outside of Apple, and likely very few inside of Apple, if anyone at all at this early stage, knows what the 2012 iPhone will be called. For the sake of convenience and familiarity, we've been using iPhone 5 (or whatever Apple ends up calling it).
But Apple can call it anything they want. iPhone 4G. iPhone 4GS. iPhone 4GS Mark II Epic, LTE X. (Okay, that's very unlikely, but it's their phone, their name.)
There's no logical reason they couldn't call it iPhone 5 still. The model number will be 5,1 after all, and for most mainstream customers the logical number after 4 -- even after 4S -- is 5. They don't know, and don't care, what generation the device is, nor should they.
Apple doesn't really care either. They've used 3 twice and 4 twice now. They could easily use 5 twice next. They still call iOS 5 on Apple TV "software 4", after all.
Marketing has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with perception and presentation.
There will almost certainly be a new iPhone next year, but until they officially announce it and it's name, we'll be using iPhone 5.
Update: "The new iPhone."

Regarding the use of the name "iPhone 5"
I think they should just call it an iPhone and lose the number. You don't see the iPod with a number or MacBook pro 7, the number and letter ruin it.
They can't lose the number because they now have 3 generations of the product in the market at the same time (4S, 4, 3GS).
I agree with bigbowlofjelly. Consumers don't care what number it is. They just care that it's new and / or better than the previous iPhone. This numbers game is getting silly.
It's going to be the 6th generation of the iPhone.
The original iPhone was the first of course, but people calling it 2G was the beginning of the confusion. The 2nd generation made it complicated because some people thought it's the 3rd generation. Apple uses 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G for indicating the generation of the iPod models.
2007 iPhone was 1st,
2008 iPhone 3G was 2nd,
2009 iPhone 3GS was 3rd,
2010 iPhone 4 was 4th,
2011 iPhone 4S was 5th,
2012 iPhone will be the 6th generation.
I agree, come here for the useful and informative stuff. Not for page filling crap and vapid articles about nothing. Guess its better than "Siri can turn on your oven" posts that have been popping up everyday.
There was never an iPhone 3. The "3G" in the name of the second iPhone stands for UMTS. "iPhone 5" is very unlikely as the name of the sixth iPhone and could be in fact a synonym for the iPhone 4S. So I don't think it make sense for you to refer to the next generation by "iPhone 5".
My guess is iPhone V
As a marketing professional, I take severe umbrage with the phrase "Marketing has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with perception and presentation." You are aware that your reality is based on your perception of things, right? And that plenty of marketing is grounded in quantitative analysis of consumer behavior? That marketing != advertising?
The morons will lose their shit if Apple releases "another 4". No way is it the 4G, and it won't be the 5th phone, so I can't see Apple naming the phone as such. If I had to bet, if the phone is 4G LTE compatible it will be the iPhone LTE, with future models being called just "iPhone".
Why not just call it what it is... sheep food? ;)
Makes sense to me. Well said, Rene.
My prediction: iPhone 4T.
Yes they can call it iPhone 6 . After all , final cut pro gone from version 7 to version 10. Did people asked where version 8 and 9 went? No.
Anyway with the new iPad I think they're gonna remove numbers too get to the device name itself and yes people check generation models to compare themselfves or just to know if it's a 1 year old phone or the brand new one.
It's amesing I love iphone5
I am mad about iphone5 please release as soon as posible to market
I love apple to providing such a worlds for ever emperor iphone5 it's for ever

If you wish to travel outside the U.S. and re-enter during your approved appointment period, you should be sure to have the following things at the time you re-enter the U.S.:
If you are traveling with your dependents, make sure that you carry all items listed above, and that they possess a valid passport with valid E-3 visa stamp for re-entry. If they need a visa, they must also present to a U.S. consular official proof of relationship to you (i.e., a marriage or birth certificate), documentation showing financial support (this can be a brief letter from you if you intend to support them on your salary along with copy of your employment letter), and a copy of your LCA (and I-797, if applicable).
When the immigration inspector notes your I-94 information upon re-entry into the U.S., be sure to check at that time that it is noted with the correct visa status in which you are intending to enter the U.S. (If, for example, you are an E-3 professor and the immigration inspector notes "B-2" on your I-94, you will not be eligible to work!)
Most E-3 scholars do not need a new U.S. visa to return to the U.S. after visiting Canada or Mexico due to a process known as Automatic Revalidation. If you travel to Canada or Mexico, for 30 days or less, you do not need a new visa stamp even if your current one has expired if you:

VINA DEL MAR, Chile — Rafael Nadal says he's not focused on winning his first match in eight months when he returns next week at the Chile Open.
Nadal said Saturday that results aren't as important for now as reaching "an acceptable level," after a left knee injury forced him to take the longest break of his career.
The 11-time Grand Slam champion says his knee hurts sometimes and he's going to remain "humble and patient" in his comeback. Nadal hasn't played since losing in the second round at Wimbledon in June.
He says he passed six blood and urine doping tests since then and supports strict controls to keep tennis clean.

Over 100 years ago, Dr. Maria Montessori observed that children learn best by doing. Her extensive research produced a teaching method, which matches teaching styles to the intellectual, emotional, and social development of children.
As a Montessori school, we are different from conventional schools. Our first commitment is to the multi-dimensional development of the child. Our curriculum is challenging and appropriate. Parents of our graduates tell us that their children are ready and well prepared for high school and are poised for successful futures in college and life in the 21st century.
At GMS, we believe a Montessori education is truly a gift for each child, and we will do everything in our power through our Parent-Teacher-Child Partnership to support the independence and education of the whole child; academically, socially and emotionally.
The Parent-Teacher-Child Partnership was developed by a group of faculty, staff and parents who worked together to craft a bold statement about what it means to be a partner in your child's education at GMS. Students, parents, faculty and staff are all members of the GMS learning environment and play an integral role in the development of each student and ultimately each graduate. The Partnership defines what parents, the child, and the school should expect of each throughout the child's educational journey at GMS. As a current or prospective GMS parent, we want parents and partners who:

Our Portrait of a Graduate describes what a long-term GMS student will become: a 14 year old who is confident, creative, motivated and loves learning. A GMS graduate is a critical thinker, a problem solver, and a peacemaker, has awareness and facility with a second language, and practices stewardship and care for the environment.
Our graduates have continued their educations at the following high schools where they are praised as confident, intelligent and independent thinkers who are self-motivated, compassionate and highly respectful of others.
Our older graduates have continued onto the following colleges and universities:
American University , Appalachian State University , Berklee College of Music, Campbell University, Columbia University, Duke University, Edward Lang College The New School, Elon University, East Carolina University , George Washington University, Georgia Tech , Goucher College, Guilford Technical Community College, Harvard University, High Point University, Hollins University, Johnson & Wales University , Kansas City Art Institute, Linkopings Universitet (Sweden) , New York University , North Carolina State University, Salem College, The New School (NYC), University of North Carolina at Asheville, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Virginia Intermont College and Western Carolina University
Frequently Asked Questions about Montessori
What is Montessori?
This system of education promotes both a philosophy for children's growth and a rationale for guiding such growth. It is based on fostering the child's developmental needs for independence, self-sufficiency and freedom within limits. Carefully prepared learning environments guarantee exposure to materials and experiences that develop intelligence as well as physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is designed to take full advantage of self-motivation and the unique abilities of young children to develop their own potential. A Montessori teacher acts more as a guide and facilitator rather than an instructor in the traditional sense. In this approach to education, it is believed that children need adults to reflect with them on the possibilities inherent in their learning and their lives, but children themselves must direct their own responses and take responsibility for their choices.
How did Montessori begin?
Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome Medical School, became interested in education as a physician treating "retarded" children. She refined her approach through careful observation of children engaged in learning situations and began work with "normal" children in 1907 when she was invited to organize schools in an impoverished area of San Lorenzo, Italy which was undergoing reconstruction. Over time, Dr. Montessori shared her knowledge with others interested in educating young children and her philosophy spread throughout Europe and the United States.
How has Montessori education been introduced in the United States?
The Montessori method was introduced in this country around 1912 as early schools were founded in homes such as that of Alexander Graham Bell. Though initially the approach toward children's learning was received with enthusiasm, interest in Montessori waned as schools began to emphasize play and social interaction for young children over the development of intellectual skills for learning. Dr. Nancy McCormick Rambusch reintroduced the Montessori approach in 1958 as the educational climate in the United States began to change due to an increasing interest in the psychological and developmental growth of children. The unique Montessori system of education has enjoyed a tremendous resurgence of interest since the 1960s, as teacher training programs and schools have expanded throughout the United States.
Is it expensive?
The cost of establishing a Montessori classroom is probably higher than a traditional classroom because of the precision and quality demanded in the manufacture of Montessori materials. Traditionally, Montessori schools are independent from state funding sources and therefore must charge tuition. The Trustees of Greensboro Montessori work very hard to keep the cost of educating children within reasonable limits while not subverting the quality of the curricular offerings.
Please refer to our tuition schedule for our individual school program cost. Fees for field trips are not included in the annual tuition cost:
Tuition Information
Is it for all children?
Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that Montessori can work well with a wide variety of learning styles, ability levels, and families of various socio-economic levels. At GMS we have observed that the children who work well in our environment, and within the structure of our student to teacher ratio, are those who have an internal sense of discipline and can work independently. Montessori classrooms have an abundance of hands-on materials, accommodate children at many different levels of learning, and encourage freedom of movement within the classroom. Students who have a difficult time maintaining focus on their work, who require an inordinate amount of teacher input and direction, who are easily distracted, or who cannot handle transitions well may not find the classrooms suitable for them.
Is the child free to do what he or she chooses in the classroom?
The child is free to move about the classroom at will, to talk to other children, to work with any of the equipment he or she understands, or to ask the teacher to introduce new materials to him or her. The child is not free to disturb other children at their work or to abuse the materials. The older children are accountable for the choices they make and how they use their time.
What does the teacher do?
The teacher works with individual children introducing materials and giving guidance where needed. His or her primary task is to observe children very carefully in order to determine their individual needs and to gain the knowledge needed in preparing the environment to aid each child's growth. The method of teaching is indirect in that it neither imposes upon the child as in direct teaching, nor abandons the child as in a non-directive permissive approach. Rather, the teacher is constantly alert to the direction in which a child has indicated he or she wishes to go, and actively works to help the child achieve his or her goals. In the upper levels, there are group lessons in reading and math. Such lessons, in conjunction with lessons in the cultural subjects (history, art, music, fundamental needs of people, and so forth) are conducted on a regular basis. There is also considerable time given to students who need individual attention.
What does Montessori do for the child?
Observers of children in Montessori schools (and those who have gone on to venues other than Montessori schools) have described them as having developed self-discipline, independence, self-knowledge, academic skills, enthusiasm for learning, and an organized approach to solving problems.
What happens when children go from a Montessori class to a traditional class?
Montessori children usually adjust readily to new classroom situations. This is because they have developed a high degree of self-discipline and independence in their Montessori environments. Also, children have a high degree of adaptability and can assimilate into and accommodate different situations, including sitting at desks arranged in rows.
Why do Montessori classrooms have mixed age groups in one class?
Children learn from one another. This can be seen in family and play situations where children are free to observe and interact in a variety of activities. Young children learn higher-level cognitive and social skills not only through their own mental development, but also by observing others as models. Multi-age grouping helps children develop a sense of community and supports social development. Older children act as role models and (sometimes) teachers of younger children. This aids in the development of personality, collaboration, and cooperation. Montessori classrooms have used mixed age groupings for over 100 years. At GMS the age groupings are as follows: Toddlers— 18 months to 3 years; Primary—3 to 6 years; Lower Elementary (Lower El)—6 to 9 years; Upper Elementary (Upper El)—9 to 11 years (4th and 5th grades); and Middle School—11 to 14 years (6th, 7th and 8th grades).
The Greensboro Montessori School Strategic Plan "Vision 2020"
In 2010 the Board of Trustees engaged in a year-long process of updating the Strategic Plan for GMS. The plan, entitled "Vision 2020" will serve as the "road map" for the school over the next ten years. A key objective of the new strategic plan was to create a definitive vision for our near-term future. With input from numerous stakeholders, including faculty, staff, parents, students and interested community members, a vision statement, entitled "Vision 2020" was crafted which will position GMS for a strong future. The Strategic Plan was written to support our Vision 2020. We invite you to review the plan and as always, welcome your comments and feedback.
"Vision 2020"
By 2020, The Greensboro Montessori School will be the premier steward for sharing the Montessori philosophy in the Southeast, funded by a $5 million endowment. This vision will enable GMS to provide an unsurpassed Montessori educational experience by being more efficient, effective, inclusive, innovative, and representative of the Montessori philosophy.
GMS Priorities 2010-2020:
GMS continuously engages in a process of planning, implementing, assessing, and improving its programs and operations while serving as a champion for the development of the Montessori philosophy in the Southeast. Our strategic direction for the 2010-2020 will be guided by the following priorities:
1. Efficiency and Effectiveness
a. Employ and recruit the best faculty and staff to promote the Montessori method in our curriculum and programs
2. Expanding our Community
a. Effectively market GMS to our target market and greater Greensboro community
3. Unique Qualities
a. Celebrate student/staff diversity, foster environmental education through the Land Lab experience, upgrade physical facilities and sustainability efforts, provide state-of-the-art technology and equipment throughout GMS
4. Innovation and Recognition
a. Become the resource for Montessori education in the Southeast
b. Raise $5 million endowment by 2020
c. Leverage Environmental Education and Land Lab benefits with the greater Greensboro community

The History of The Greensboro Montessori School
In 1974, three Greensboro mothers, seeking an environment of educational self-discovery for their pre-school children, formed a cooperative nursery with one hired teacher. The school took the name of The Greensboro Language Center and the following year became incorporated as a non-profit Montessori school. In 1978, the directors approved a merger with the Friendly Avenue Montessori School and changed its name to the Greensboro Montessori School. Prior to moving to its current location in 1989, the school rented facilities at the First Moravian Church and later a small building behind Guilford Middle School. Since its inception in 1974, our school has grown from one three to six year old primary classroom of twelve children to more than 200 students and 55 staff.

PDT Staff Report
The Portsmouth Daily Times is opening new doors to its advertisers, their current customers and a whole world of new ones, all with the stroke of a fingertip.
Through MyOwn Apps, a new high-tech advertising venue that offers advertisers a way to reach on-the-go consumers looking for information fast and in the palm of their hand.
With the help of mobile experts at Civitas Media, the Daily Times' parent company, a buffet of opportunities are now available to advertisers, and thus consumers, through their mobile phones, the place, statistics show, most people now go to find everything from news to the latest restaurant special, and everything in between.
"In the past three years, over 20 billion apps have been downloaded between iPhone and Android devices," said Lynn McLamb, director of revenue enhancement services for Civitas Media. "What's more, in 2013 for the first time there will be more smartphones then laptop computers being used."
Local entities are already jumping at the opportunity to reach consumers via mobile applications.
"We have a number of local clients in the process of building their apps through our MyOwnApps program, most notably a county convention and visitor's bureau," said Michael Messerly, general manager of the Daily Times. "My own background is based in digital media and I immediately recognized this as a really great and affordable opportunity for a local business to capture the attention of consumers on their own phones."
Armed with this information and the desire to help local businesses thrive, McLamb said Civitas decided to roll out the MyOwn Apps program, a simple and affordable way to put local companies on the mobile map.
"MyOwn Apps will help bring in new business and increase repeat customers for our local businesses," McLamb said, stressing that everything about designing and preparing the app will be handled by the mobile experts within Civitas.
For consumers, the mobile apps will allow them to do everything from schedule an oil change to see what the daily specials are at local restaurants.

"Customers are already using their smartphones to find the competition. We want to make it easier for them to find our local businesses and then frequent them. The statistics prove that in today's world, not having a mobile experience can lose you business."
Now, the Daily Times and Civitas are making it easy for advertisers to not only increase their business with loyal customers but bring in new customers as well.
MyOwn Apps will provide consumers push notifications about special offers, sales and updates; GPS coupons and loyalty rewards that are easily accessed; and links to a business' social media pages, increases Facebook fans and Twitter followers.

Re: Sexiest actresses and actors.
Ahhhh finaly guys. Was wondering if girls didn't find anybody sexy around here.
If you're a girl that is. If not well it's the same.
Gotta admit that I have boy crushes on Keanu Reeves, Vin Diesel and Ethan Hawke. The day I'll become homosexual I'll try to find their sex tapes. Mwahahaha
Yeah I'm a dude.
Keanu is definitely a good looking man. A lot of people like to bash him, but I'm unapologetic in liking him.

text: Give me your ideas and we'll discuss them as a staff on Monday when we all return to the office. Simple fact is, nothing outside of politics or religion is as polarizing as the Tigers threads on this board, and we simply don't allow politics or religion to be discussed. Have always allowed the Tigers threads because we consider ourselves a sports bar and because we know a good number of our patrons are Detroiters (plus it's better business to keep those folks in your bar then to tell them to go someplace else - if you can't understand that then you've never been in a paying customers business). At the same time, we're not going to deal with the constant back and forth for the next five months until football season starts. So throw out your best idea and we'll discuss them and come up with a solution. Thanks

LAUREL HILL — Things are shaping up for Laurel Hill School's volleyball team as it opens District 1-1A play at Central on Thursday.
The Hoboes are coming off a 2-2 showing in the Chipley tournament over the weekend. Monday they wrapped up a grueling stretch of nine matches in a little more than a week with a pair of wins over Rocky Bayou Christian and Florala, Ala.
Monday's matches were a part of a three-team setup that had the Knights play the Wildcats and then the Hoboes. Laurel Hill and Florala finished the day's play. The matches were the best two out of three rather than the normal three of five.
The Hoboes (8-4) beat Rocky Bayou 25-12, 25-17 and then finished off the day with a 25-16, 25-20 win over the Wildcats.
"We've played a total of about nine games in eight days so we've come together as a team and I like that," Hobo coach Kent Zessin said. "The chemistry is really building up. We showed a little bit of that tonight, but we got sloppy at times.
"When we focused and played like we are supposed to play we did things right. We just lost our focus at times and we just have to do a better job and be more consistent throughout the whole entire game, but that will come."
Lauren Gordon, Morgan Meeks and Ashley Hatfield paced the Hobo attack against Rocky Bayou.
Gordon led the team with five kills. Hatfield had six aces and a dig while Meeks dished out four assists to go along with two aces. Kaylee L'Homme added three kills.
At times, as Laurel Hill played Florala in the nightcap, it was obvious the Hoboes weren't as focused as they could be.
Laurel Hill jumped to a quick lead in both sets, but let the outmanned Wildcats hang around longer than they probably should have.
Gordon was in serve as the Hoboes jumped in front 5-0 in the first set.
Laurel Hill led 5-1 when Hatfield got the serve and quickly scored on a pair of aces. Even while making mistakes the Hoboes were too strong and athletic for the Wildcats.
Gordon, L'Homme, Bridget Zessin and Jhanea Griffin controlled the net for the Hoboes as Laurel Hill maintained a five-point cushion throughout the set.
The first set ended with a kill by Griffin.
Laurel Hill took a quick 8-2 lead in the second set and held off a late Wildcat charge to take the win.
Following the wins on Monday, Kent Zessin quickly turned his attention to the district match at Central.
"We go to Central on Thursday for our first district match and I like where we are," he said. "We are going to have a couple of hard days of practice and then go over there and hopefully do well.
"We like to get those (district) road games out of the way early and then play at home later in the season."

Dear Editor,
I was astounded when I took my grandsons to play on the Doty Park playground equipment on July 4th.
While we hadn't had any rain before noon, I was flabbergasted to see the swings surrounded by a lake;
even stepping into the area, our feet sank into the wood chips!!
It only took me a split second to realize that the brick retaining wall surrounding the playground had no weep holes!
Was it the architect, Parks & Recreation project manager, or brick mason who failed to consider the effect a solid wall would have?
Hopefully, someone with a scintilla of sense will go to Doty Park and drill several weep holes at the bottom of the walls.

Stop dreading concurrency hassles and start reaping the pure power of modern multicore hardware. Learn how to avoid shared mutable state and how to write safe, elegant, explicit synchronization-free programs in Java or other JVM languages including Clojure, JRuby, Groovy, or Scala.

About this Book
- 280 pages
- Published:
- Release: P1.0 (2011-08-24)
Programming Concurrency on the JVM is the first book to show you three prominent concurrency styles: the synchronization model of the JDK, Software Transactional Memory (STM), and actor-based concurrency. You'll learn the benefits of each of these models, when and how to use them, and what their limitations are so you can compare and choose what works best for your applications.
More than ever, learning to program using concurrency is critical to creating faster, responsive applications, and now you can leverage the Java platform to bring these applications to high-octane life. In this book, you'll see how to:
- Painlessly develop correct concurrent programs
- Use modern, explicit synchronization-free concurrency solutions from pure Java
- Choose concurrency options separately from choosing an implementation language
- Gain the skills to master concurrency on the latest-generation hardware
Through hands-on exercises you'll master these techniques in short order, and understand when and where to use them in your next killer app.
What You Need
If you are a Java programmer, you'd need JDK 1.5 or later and the Akka 1.0 library. In addition, if you program in Scala, Clojure, Groovy or JRuby you'd need the latest version of your preferred language. Groovy programmers will also need GPars.

Comments and Reviews
—Alex Miller Architect/Senior Engineer Revelytix, Inc.
There has been an explosion of interest and application for both new concurrency models and new languages on the JVM. Venkat's book ties it all together and shows the working developer how to structure their application and get the most out of existing libraries, even if they were built in a different language. This book is the natural successor to Java Concurrency in Practice.
—Chris Richardson Author of "POJOS in Action" and Founder: CloudFoundry.com
Extremely thorough coverage of a critically important topic.
—Raju Gandhi Senior consultant Integrallis Software, LLC
If the JVM is your platform of choice, then this book is an absolute must-read. Buy it, read it, and then buy a copy for all your team members. You will well be on your way to finding a good solution to concurrency issues.
—Albert Scherer Manager eCommerce Technologies, Follett Higher Education Group, Inc.
An excellent book! Venkat skillfully leads us through the many design and implementation decisions that today's JVM developer faces in multithreaded programming. His easy-to-read style and the many examples he provides—using a variety of current open source tools and JVM languages—make this complex topic very approachable.

Local groups donate dictionaries to area schoolsWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
On April 24, students at the Rosary Cathedral School, 2535 Collingwood Blvd., were given the gift of spelling and grammar.
In collaboration with Pilot Club of Greater Toledo, Toledo's Kids Unlimited donated dictionaries to the first of six confirmed local sites, part of a series of donations happening nationwide.
"I really think they enjoyed having their own dictionary," said Barbara Moellman, Pilot member since 1973. "We wanted to do things to help with education. … When you open up a dictionary, you may be attracted to a word on that page or the one opposite. You have a different way of learning."
The volunteers played word games with the students at the event as well.
"The little ones were really excited and the older ones were kind of fascinated by what else was in [the dictionaries]" Kids Unlimited Volunteer Coordinator Megan Reece said. "They have roman numerals, maps of the United States, weights and measurements, punctuation [and] parts of speech. It's more than just a dictionary, I think."
In upcoming months, the two programs will also donate dictionaries to Northpointe Academy, 3248 Warsaw St., Discovery Academy, 3825 Secor Road, Lake Erie Academy, 2740 W. Central Ave., Martin Luther King Jr. Academy, 1300 Forest Ave., and Old West End Academy, 3131 Cambridge St. Reece said there will be two additional locations soon.
For some students, access to the Internet is not readily available, which makes donating dictionaries important, Reece said.
"[For] some of these kids, just the ownership of a book is probably significant," Moellman added.
Kids Unlimited aims to help children develop skills useful in and out of the classroom, improving academic and social skills. The nonprofit organization collaborates with other programs in the area to tutor students one-on-one on weekdays. Summer camps are also planned for this year.
According to kidsunlimitedtoledo.org, "in one hour a week, you can make a difference that lasts a lifetime."
"These kids really do get a boost in their grades," Moellman said.
For anyone interested, visit kidsunlimitedtoledo.org or contact Reece at (419) 841-0721.
