Students examine and critique current issues associated with the teaching of Literacy including the role of new technologies in literacy teaching, teaching English as Second Language (ESL), Integration policies and programs, the literacy needs of Indigenous learners, inclusive teaching and learning within socio-culturally and linguistically diverse communities, working with parents, schools and wider communities . Participants consider and revisit the use of a range of assessment strategies in literacy teaching and how additional assistance in literacy can be implemented in the classroom. Emphasis is given to accessing the professional resources available and how these might support beginning teachers in their daily work, the role of professional associations, ongoing professional development and support networks available to beginning teachers.

Region 1: New England
Lead Safe Yard Project
EMPACT, the Environmental Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking program, is a new EPA approach to working with communities to make timely, accurate, and understandable environmental information available in the largest US metropolitan areas. This information will better enable communities and individuals to make informed, day-to-day decisions about their lives.
In 1998, EMPACT initiated a number of pilot projects that will provide environmental information to the public via the latest monitoring, information management, and communications technologies. The EPA's Region 1 Lead Safe Yard Project is one of these EMPACT projects.
The objective of the Lead Safe Yard Project is to provide time-relevant soil lead concentration data so that residents can make educated decisions that will reduce the exposure of pre-school children to lead, and reduce the incidence of elevated blood levels throughout a community within the Boston metropolitan area. The longer term goal of the project is to raise awareness of the residential lead in soil issue and provide a template or tool box that could be used by individuals, community organizers, or local government to mitigate the risk of lead poisoning from residential soil.

DIY Wine Glass CharmsTuesday, October 11th, 2011
That time of year is here again – we've got guests visiting from all over just about every weekend until the end of the year. With all the festivities planned over the next few months, I wanted to make some wine glass charms to help keep everyone's glass identified during all the celebrating.
I first found out about an embossing powder called Amazing Glaze that hardens to a resin from my friend Cathe, she had used it to to make a memory pet tag and decal penny pendant in the past and I really wanted to try it out! I ordered the powder, some pendant bases and earwires, then came up with several versions of DIY wine glass charms. The first are these blingy sparklers which will work for just about any occasion.
With the right supplies, these are so easy to make! Find some earwires, pendant bases, and some Amazing Glaze, and you're in business (my sources below).
The sparkling gem versions were made with simple colorful glitter from my stash that was layered along the bottom of the pendant base, then topped with a small amount of the powder glaze (seen below).
Using aluminum foil beneath, I simply baked the first layer of powder inside the pendants in a 350 degree oven for two minutes and allowed it to cool for 5 minutes. Then I applied two more thin layers following the same technique, 2 minutes in a 350 degree oven until the powder melts and turns clear.
It hardens into a resin to make these little gems for your wineglass!

The tradition of giving edible wedding favours dates back to the 13th century and it's a trend that continues today: a wedding is a super sweet occasion that calls for some super sweet treats. One Eyed Cat is an established and trusted online retailer and we have been selling DIY wedding favours and supplies online for over 10 years. Our knowledge and enthusiasm for the products available is second to none!
There are many reasons brides choose to make their own wedding favours. For many it's a chance to be creative while at the same time saving money on their wedding – a way to still have lovely favour for their guests without breaking the bank. Even the smallest token such as a bomboniere or little favour box can bring a smile to the face of your wedding guests as they will appreciate the time and effort that's gone into making them.
Making DIY wedding favours can also give you the advantage of not being restricted to the designs thought up by a readymade favour supplier. There are plenty of places to get some inspiration and favour ideas, and with over 1300 products listed on this site you should certainly be able to achieve any style or look to fit in with your wedding theme!
If you're here looking for ideas as a starting point then take some time to browse through all the categories, in particular our favour boxes and favour nets sections, as they have plenty of pictures of lovely wedding favours already made-up. A traditional bomboniere favour is still very popular - the favour nets section illustrates the vast choice of colours available, and then head to the flowers and sprays category to see what you can add in the centre for that extra special touch.

New harmonised standards which provide presumption of conformity for machinery Zveřejněno:: 23/03/2012
The harmonised standards, the references of which were published today in the Official Journal, provide solutions for compliance and confer a presumption of conformity with the relevant essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive.
A new consolidated list of references of harmonised standards under the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC was published today in the Official Journal C 87 of 23 March 2012.
These European standards provide solutions for compliance and presumption of conformity with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive that they cover.
However, the use of harmonised standards remains voluntary and manufacturers can choose whether or not to follow a harmonised standard to manufacture their products. Manufacturers may thus use other technical solutions providing for an equivalent level of safety. In that case, they must be able to prove that their products are in conformity with the mandatory essential health and safety requirements, taking due account of the state of the art.

Sea to Summit
AP III -4° Sleeping Bag (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 25322
The Sea to Summit AP III -4 degree sleeping bag is part of the Alpine Series, the ideal refuge for high-altitude expeditions and the most extreme cold conditions. This down sleeping bag is EN-rated to a lower-limit temperature of -4 degrees F and a comfort temperature of 10 degrees F.
The Alpine Series of down sleeping bags are intended for alpine use, providing a warm cocoon for high-altitude and arctic conditions. The patent-pending 3D NanoShell™ technology repels external moisture and keeps condensation away from the down insulation. Sea to Summit uses the highest-quality European goose down available, rated at 850+ loft and backed up by a certification document included with each sleeping bag. Innovations like the 3D Sidewall and Reverse Differential Cut keep the insulation in place, and close to your body, for maximum thermal efficiency. Temperature ratings are the result of honest, third-party EN testing performed on each sleeping bag.
Designed with a contoured mummy fit and anatomical foot box, the AP III traps warmth effectively without inducing claustrophobia. Side block baffles maintain a 60:40 fill ratio, with more insulation atop the bag where you need it most. An oversized neck collar, hood seal and zipper draft tube minimize heat loss. The soft-touch lining fabric is highly breathable for comfort, and a stiff anti-snag material lines the zipper. An easily-accessible security pocket inside the bag is ideal for stowing electronics in extreme cold.
The Alpine Series is Sea to Summit's choice for Karakorom expeditions, alpine routes in the Andes, Himalayan high-altitude climbing and winters in New Zealand. These down sleeping bags are so revolutionary we can't fit all of the information here, so check out this series of articles on our blog!

The OFA Girls Lacrosse team really needed a win as it hosted Salmon River on Thursday.
Coming off two disappointing losses and a heart-wrenching one-goal loss to undefeated Potsdam, the Lady Devils (2-5 2-3 NAC) methodically secured a 15-5 victory.
We really needed a win today and the girls went out and got it. And it was a nice win because it was a team effort. Courtney Sherwin anchored our defense and Nicole Hammond did a nice job moving out of the defense and getting involved in the offense, said OFA Coach Lauren Morley who will lead her team into nonleague action at General Brown today.
We had some different people score today, Kaitlin Sheppard had her best scoring day of the season with four goals and four assists, our ball movement was very good and defensively we did a nice job of sliding over.
Sheppards four goals and four assists led the winning offense which featured excellent transition sequences highlighted by Nicole Hammond advancing from the defensive backfield to score three goals.
Mackenzie Bresett delivered a series of solo rushes through traffic in netting two goals with one assist and Carly Garrison tallied a pair of goals with some well-timed moves around the net. Sky Hoover delivered one goal and one assist, Hunter Shaver scored once and Zendel Cordwell passed out an assist.
OFAs netminding combination of Erica Chase and Marissa Foster combined for five saves and Kierra Pyke finished with six saves for Salmon River which impressed Coach Morley with its open field capabilities.
Salmon River was a very fast team which made some excellent runs, she said.
They were very aggressive but they were just too aggressive at times and picked up a lot penalties in the defensive zone.
Jaiden Mitchell and Victoria Thompson each scored two goals for SR (0-4, 0-3 NAC) and Jena Thompson netted a solo marker.
LAX FAX: OFAs home game on Tuesday with Heuvelton will be a 6:30 p.m. start after a home track meet. OFAs boys game with Saranac Lake tonight will start at 7 p.m. after a home track meet which will draw a 4 p.m. start.
CANTON - Nine players contributed a point for Canton (2-2) which led 7-3 at halftime and cruised to a 13-5 victory over Heuvelton. Rachael Huntley generated three goals and two assists to pace Canton. Tess Knight delivered three goals and one assist while Alison Noble added two goals and two assists and Lacy Kenny added a goal and one assist. Mollee McMasters contributed a goal and one assists while M. Boak and Macy Huntley each scored once.
Megan Howard had 6 saves for Canton.
Jackie Sovie scored three times for Heuvelton (1-4 NAC). Ashlyn Piercey added a goal and one assist while Maddie St. Pierre scored once. Heather Thompson stopped eight shots for the Bulldogs.

Protect Your Family from Fire – Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13
Carrollton Fire Rescue encourages residents to keep their homes safe during Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13, and is teaming with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to let our community know that this year's theme, "Have 2 Ways Out!", focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.
"In 2009, 2,565 people died in home fires. Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented by taking a few simple precautions such as having working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan, keeping things that can burn away from the stove and always turning off space heaters before going to bed," says Scott Tittle, Fire Prevention Chief of Carrollton Fire Rescue. "Fire is a dangerous opponent, but by anticipating the hazards, you are much less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000 people injured in home fires each year.
"While preventing home fires in Carrollton is always our number one priority, it is not always possible," Chief Tittle continued. "Carrollton's residents need to provide the best protection to keep their homes and families safe in the event of a fire. This can be achieved by developing an escape plan which you practice regularly and equipping homes with life-saving technologies like smoke alarms and home fire sprinklers."

Materials at TSLA Pertaining to the War of 1812
Public Services Resource Guide #04
The War of 1812 has been referred to by some historians as America's "forgotten conflict." The contest between the United States and Great Britain, fought in the years 1812-1815, is mired in controversy in terms of causation and results. The reasons for going to war with England were ostensibly over the rights of free trade and impressment of American sailors. Other elements include American territorial expansion, economic factors, and national honor. The war has been criticized as one in which neither side won and, therefore, should never have been fought. Yet the war did manage to bring some prestige to the young American nation as it demonstrated to the world it could stand up against one of the world's mightiest military powers.
For Tennessee, the War of 1812 proved to be a watershed moment. It was Tennessee that took the lead in first declaring the war—through the political machinations of Felix Grundy, a war hawk in Congress—and then through the military leadership of Andrew Jackson who commanded the Tennessee militia and, later, the regular army forces in the Southeast. Indeed, it is Andrew Jackson who most personifies Tennessee in the War of 1812, as his brilliant defensive victory at New Orleans in January 1815 eventually propelled him to the White House in 1828.
For the thousands of Tennesseans who participated in the War of 1812, it was in the Creek War of 1813-1814 that they actually saw service. The Creek Indians, living in what is now Georgia and Alabama, were considered allies to Great Britain. When hostilities broke out within the Creek nation, it was Tennessee that took advantage of the explosive situation and with overwhelming numbers quelled the feeble resistance of the Creeks. Jackson then demanded huge land concessions as reparations for the Creek War. As a result, large tracts of land were opened to white settlement and the long road toward Indian removal in the Southeast began.
Unfortunately, TSLA does not possess the individual service records and pension files of Tennesseans in the War of 1812; they are housed at the National Archives (Washington, D.C.). However, TSLA does possess microfilm, printed material, and fine manuscript collections pertaining to the War of 1812. Here are some of our holdings:
Papers of Andrew Jackson
Papers of Andrew Jackson
Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812

Tapping the
Scales of Justice - A Dose of Connecticut Legal History
Roger Sherman and The Connecticut Compromise
Roger Sherman and The Connecticut Compromise
In Article VI of the
Constitution of the United States, the framers declared, "This
Constitution... to be the supreme Law of the Land." Constitutional
authority, Laurence Tribe, notes in his book, American
Constitutional Law, that "the Constitution is an endlessly
intriguing object of study, and represents the best effort of its
kind in the history of the world." Among the men who created the
Constitution in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787, Roger
Sherman, a Superior Court Judge, is remembered as the architect of
the Connecticut Compromise.
When the
Constitutional Convention became deadlocked over the matter of
legislative voting, Sherman proposed a system similar to one he had
advocated previously as a delegate to the Continental Congress in
1776. The compromise provided for representation in the House of
Representatives according to population and in the Senate by equal
numbers for each state. Sherman's compromise was adopted on July 16,
1787 by a vote of five states to four, and served not only to save
the crumbling convention, but provided stimulus to resolve other
issues yet to be decided.
Sherman was the
only person to sign all four documents of the American
Revolution: the Continental Association of 1774, the Declaration of
Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of
the United States.

UCLA researchers led by Dr. Brigitte Gomperts, member of UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, have discovered how factors that regulate growth of adult stem cells that regenerate tissue for repair in the lungs can lead to the formation of pre-cancerous lesions. This process is thought to be the first stage in the development of lung cancer.
The study was published online on June 19th in the journal Cell Stem Cell.
In the three-year study, Gomperts collaborated with Manash Paul and Bharti Bisht, postdoctoral scholars and co-lead authors of the study. Their findings show potential for new personalized treatments for lung cancer, which is the deadliest form of the disease (responsible for an estimated 29 percent of all cancer deaths per year in the United States).
Adult stem cells are present in lung airways specifically to repair the airways after injury or disease (such as from smoking, pollution or a virus). This study showed that this reparative process is tightly regulated by molecules called reactive oxygen species, or ROS.
Recent research has shown that low levels of ROS are important in signaling to the stem cells to perform important cellular functions such as dividing and repairing, while the presence of high levels of ROS can prove toxic to stem cells and cause them to die. It has been controversial as to what level of ROS is needed for repair to be initiated. This study showed that it is the dynamic flux of ROS from low to moderate levels in the airway stem cells that drives the repair process. Furthermore the study showed that the increase in ROS levels in the repairing cell is quickly reduced to low levels to prevent excessive cell proliferation.
Gomperts' lab found that disrupting this normal regulation of ROS back to low levels is equivalent to pulling the brakes off of the stem cells-they will continue to make too many of themselves and not mature, and instead become pre-cancerous lesions. As cancer is thought to develop in steps, subsequent progressive genetic changes to the cells in these lesions over time can eventually allow cancerous tumors to form.
"Low ROS is what keeps stem cells in a ready state so that your body is poised and ready to respond to injury and repair," said Gomperts, Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at UCLA. "Loss of this ROS regulation leads to precancerous lesions. Now, with this pre-cancerous model in place, we can begin looking for what we call driver mutations, or those specific changes that take the pre-cancerous lesions to full-blown cancer."
There are many exposures that can cause an increase in ROS in airway stem cells, such as cigarette smoke, smog and bacteria that can drive this pre-cancerous state.
"There are likely multiple ways for a patient to get to a pre-cancerous lesion so the process could be different amongst different groups of people," explained Gomperts. "Imagine a personalized way to identify what pathways have gone wrong in a patient, so that we could target a therapy to that individual."
By developing new techniques to find effective drug molecules, such as high-throughput screening systems to screen large libraries of compounds, future research has great potential to prevent pre-cancerous lesions from developing, leading to revolutionary new cancer prevention strategies.
"Our study is important because it sheds light on how lung cancer can form and this will hopefully lead to new therapies for this terrible disease," added Paul.
The study also unifies the work of the research community, as it finally identifies specifically how ROS affects the proliferation of stem cells.
"There have been studies that have looked at ROS and stem cells before, but we now know that the transition from low to high ROS levels and back down again is the true signaling message to stem cells," said Bisht. "It is also potentially true for a number of different stem cells in the body. It solves a lot of controversy in the field."

|State May Require Youngsters To Be Older To Enter Kindergarten
|Written by Christie James
|Thursday, 29 March 2007 03:23
Parents of young children, note that the state House Education Committee has approved a bill that could change the cutoff age for children entering kindergarten. The bill would move the cutoff date from October 16th up to August 31st.
That would keep some younger children out of the classroom. North Carolina's current laws create a broad range of maturity levels in kindergarten classes. They enable four year olds to enter the same class as six year olds whose parents have delayed their entry to kindergarten by a year. Only seven states had cutoff entrance dates later than North Carolina in 2006.

|Lightning strike adds a third fire
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 12 June 2007 08:47
Two fires that started from lightning strikes are still going strong in the Linville Gorge area.Over two hundred firefighters have responded to the wildfires, one near Dobson Knob and another near Shortoff Mountain. While the fires started Friday, by yesterday evening they had already burned over 540 and 700 acres, respectively. Rising humidity overnight kept the fire from spreading, according to spokesman Terry Seyden. Last night's forecast of rain did not hold true to the wildfire area, he said.While rain is a good thing, the thunderstorms expected for this week may make things worse if lightning strikes again, he said. In fact, yesterday brought a new development. A third fire was reported in Avery County, also caused by lightning. Today that fire is approximately 50 acres. Firefighters are not sure when the third fire started, but it could have been as early as Friday. Firefighters expect to start burning potential debris kindling to keep the fire contained in the near future. They will be concentrating efforts at the Shortoff site, due to the proximity of private homes. The homes are not threatened at this time, according to Seyden. All trails and campsites in the Linville Gorge Wilderness are closed until further notice.

The Price Manti-LaSal National Forest office has lifted wildfire closure orders on the White Knoll and Beans Ridge areas.
Located three miles west of Scofield Reservoir, the Bean Ridge blaze had burned approximately 83 acres when the federal agency lifted the closures.
The White Knoll blaze in the Seely Creek drainage had consumed approximately 1,304 acres three miles west of Joes Valley Reservoir.
The lightning caused blazes are being controlled to accomplish the resource objectives outlined in the Manti-LaSal's fire management plan, pointed out the Price office.
The plan allows naturally ignited wildfires to burn within designated areas under specific management guidelines. Under the established conditions, a wildfire is permitted to play its natural role on the landscape, noted the federal agency.
Fire activity decreased significantly in the areas due to recent moisture and higher humidity. Heat remained on portions of the fire areas.
The heat, coupled with a drying trend in the weather, could result in the fires becoming active, explained the Price office.
Fire activity and smoke are generally greatest during the late afternoons when temperatures are the highest and humidity is lowest. The wildfires are regularly monitored by representatives of the federal agency.
Forest managers review the progress of blazes and weather forecasts to determine if suppression action is necessary to protect life and property, confirmed the federal agency.
Naturally caused wildfires are utilized for a variety of resource benefits, including the maintenance of a healthy forest, rangelands and wetlands and to support ecosystems diversity.
Wildfires may increase the potential for localized soil erosion. But fire use areas can reduce the potential for major debris flows, mud slides and suppression costs associated with large-scale blazes, added the Price office.
Forest managers reminded Carbon and Emery County residents to remain fire conscious while recreating on the Manti-LaSal National Forest, especially during the upcoming hunting season.

A Bronx man who destroyed a four-story apartment building in Watertown by setting fire to it in 2007 has renewed his federal claim that he is being unlawfully detained for the crime.
Carlos L. Rivera, 35, filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus Monday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, claiming that, among other things, procedural errors were made and never corrected during his August 2008 trial in Jefferson County Court.
He was found guilty on a second-degree arson charge, as well as several other counts, for setting fire in an apartment at 201-205 Academy St., also called the Victoria Building. Two men were injured in the blaze that displaced about 30 people from their homes and resulted in the building being razed. Mr. Rivera was sentenced in September 2008 to 25 years in state prison and was ordered to pay $380,000 in restitution. He currently is incarcerated at Elmira Correctional Facility and is eligible for parole in 2029, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website.
Among Mr. Riveras federal claims is that County Court failed to pronounce sentence on multiple charges for which he was convicted, including first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree menacing. He also maintains that jurors were given deficient legal definitions of several of the charges, leading to his conviction. He further contends that his defense attorney, Eric T. Swartz of Watertown, failed to raise objections to the jurys instructions, depriving him of a fair trial.
Mr. Rivera had raised similar concerns in an appeal to the state Appellate Division, Fourth Department, which rejected the claims in a February 2010 decision. He also raised many of the same concerns in a petition filed in federal court in March 2011. That petition was dismissed within about a week, with Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas J. McAvoy stating Mr. Riveras petition was confusing as it appeared to include documents from various state records of his case, but did not include a short and plain statement explaining why he thought he was being held unlawfully, as is required in the petition.

I was fortunate to pick up a 2012 Never Summer Heritage a couple of weeks ago. I took it out riding here in Utah last weekend. I haven't really ridden many other boards at all, so this may be less of a "review" and more of a "listen-to-me-talk-about-my-new-board" post. Sorry.
One thing I can say, however, is that I love the board. In the past, I have only owned more budget-friendly boards. As a teenager in the late 90s, I rode House brand boards (The House Burton Snowboards, Snowboard Boots, Bindings, Jackets, Pants, Clothing, K2, Ride, DC, Holden, Bonfire) and the last few years I have ridden a Head Defiance board. My point is that I am making a pretty dramatic jump up to the Never Summer, so maybe I would love any quality board at this point I also got some stiffer boots that actually fit me.
Here are some things I immediately noticed about the board:
Regarding the difficulty to catch an edge, I was able to literally wave the board side to side while standing flat on it without catch an edge. I wasn't used to being able to do this. I thought it was pretty neat.
I also found myself able to ride switch almost half-decently for the first time. I think a lot of this had to do with not catching an edge easily. A few times while switching back and forth I felt like I should have gone down but didn't. One thing I did notice while riding switch (where I have less control) is that my turns would easily spin me around as if I was heading back up the hill. I could see this board going where it wants to if the rider doesn't control it.
I believe the board had a lot more stable landings and more pop that my previous boards. For really the first time I was able to get off the ground and make some solid landings. This was super exciting for me. I was trying to hit any jump I could find on the way down. I hit a jump and got a little more air than I expected, and the board almost felt like it landed itself.
I didn't find it any noticeably lighter or heavier than my previous board.
Carving through rougher terrain, control-wise, almost felt like carving on a groomed trail. I could feel the choppy terrain below me, but it didn't bother me because I always felt in control.
Edge-to-edge was pretty amazing. I could link turns as tightly as I wanted to without much effort.
I could see it not being so great in icy conditions; it seemed to grip a *little* less than expected on packed snow.
No park action.

Nice. I did a review of a 2010 Heritage last fall. See here. Sounds like we agree on a lot of stuff.
I told my kids, "Someday, you'll have kids of your own." One of them said, "So will you."

Argh your killing me...I cant wait to get a 2012 Heritage lol. I almost pulled the trigger on this years model(and wish i did).
Not as crazy about the topsheet for next years board, i thought this years was pretty amazing. Got any pics of the bottom? Granted this could all change, but unlikely.
Did you BUY the board, or is this a review unit? If so where did you buy it? I need one ASAP for all this deep ass snow we are getting.

The Northern Regional Center for Independent Living and Families Together in the North Country have partnered with the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park to raise awareness of childrens mental health issues.
To celebrate May as Childrens Mental Health Awareness Month, there will be a tree planting and dedication ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday at the zoo.
The event is open to the public and attendees are encouraged to wear green, which in the 1800s was used to brand people who were labeled insane, according to an NRCIL released statement. Now, mental health advocates wear the color green to signify new life, growth and beginnings.

Read: Top Ten Ranger Prospects
At Hockey Prospectus, Corey Pronman lists out who he thinks are the Rangers top ten prospects.
He lists the Rangers top prospect as Tim Erixon and Chris Kreider second. Michael St. Croix is ranked fourth and Christian Thomas is ranked seventh.
As an organization, Pronman says that they are "fairly average" and ranks them 20th in the NHL.
[jbutton color="red" link="http://www.snyrangersblog.com/category/prospect-rankings/" size="xsmall"]CLICK HERE[/jbutton] to see a section just on where the Rangers and some of their prospects rank.
I have always thought that Pronman takes a much harder stance on prospects and rankings than others do. Hockey's Future had the Rangers with a top ten system and that was before they acquired Tim Erixon. This is just one man's opinion though and opinions on prospects and systems vary tremendously. There is much more out there that speaks more highly of the Rangers and their prospects.
Update: 12:05PM: Pronman ranked JT Miller ninth and said that his hockey sense was "fringe." Gordie Clark says that the number one thing about Miller is his hockey sense.

Today, more than 28 million school-age children have parents who work outside the home. An estimated five to seven million and up to as many as 15 million "latch-key children" return to an empty home after school. In response, many communities have created after-school programs to keep children out of trouble and engaged in activities that help them learn.According to recent surveys, most people think it is important for children to have an after-school program that helps them develop academic and social skills in a safe and caring environment, and many parents are willing to pay more in taxes to increase the availability of after-school programs. But the demand for such programs far exceeds the current supply. One recent study found that twice as many elementary and middle school parents wanted after-school programs as were currently available. After-school options include child care centers, tutoring programs, dance groups, basketball leagues, drop-in clubs and activities offered in conjunction with public facilities such as libraries and recreation centers. Quality programs can provide safe, engaging environments that inspire and expand learning outside the regular school day. While there is no single formula for success in after-school programs, both practitioners and researchers have found that effective programs combine academic, enrichment, cultural and recreational activities to guide learning and engage children in wholesome activities. Common elements of quality programs include:

GOUVERNEUR Gouverneur Hospital will recognize the two unions at E.J. Noble Hospital when it takes over operations, but there are no guarantees how many employees who must apply for their jobs it will hire.
Union members met with hospital officials Tuesday.
They say theyre expecting to negotiate a contract with both unions, said Kathy M. Tucker, Service Employees International Union Local 1199 vice president.
That has always been the position of the hospital, spokeswoman Rebecca J. Faber said.
Negotiations will be initiated by the human resources director of Gouverneur Hospital, the entity expected to take over the assets of E.J. Noble once the state Department of Health issues a certificate of need and the arrangement is approved in state Supreme Court.
The certificate of need already has passed through one committee review, Ms. Faber said.
Under the plan, Gouverneur Hospital would have a parent organization St. Lawrence Health System along with Canton-Potsdam Hospital, which manages E.J. Noble. Because E.J. Noble would dissolve, all of its contracts, including those with SEIU and the New York State Nurses Association, no longer would exist.
E.J. Noble Hospital employees have received Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notices required by the U.S. Department of Labor when a facility closes informing them their jobs will terminate at the end of December.
The number of jobs available at Gouverneur Hospital remains unknown.
We dont have that answer yet, Ms. Faber said. We hope and expect to provide the majority of services we have now.
SEIU Local 1199 represents 99 employees at the hospital. Before the Health Department shut down E.J. Nobles lab Sept. 28, 2012, for deficiencies, the union represented 135 employees.
The hospital, which has been financially troubled for years, has struggled to get back on its feet.
Changes that have been made or that are pending include designation as a critical access hospital to increase reimbursement from Medicare, the return to the in-house laboratory of a number of its functions, an improved operating room open for some procedures, and the introduction of a primary care clinic.
Dr. John A. Lovier Jr., a board-certified OB/GYN specialist, has joined Canton-Potsdam Hospital and also will provide womens wellness and perinatal care at E.J. Noble. Dr. Lovier will perform minor surgeries at E.J. Noble and more complicated procedures at Canton-Potsdam.
Regardless of strides that have been made, E.J. Noble employees fear some jobs will be eliminated under the hospitals reorganization plan. Morale is terrible, Ms. Tucker said.
People are afraid if they do anything, they wont get hired, she said. We have people who are in tears out of fear they wont get hired. Its very stressful.
Union representatives have been told jobs will be awarded on the basis of background checks, drug testing, reviews of personnel files, evaluations and work records.
New employees will have a hire date of Jan. 1 but will have seniority from when they first started working at E.J. Noble, Ms. Tucker said.
We just dont know what that seniority will mean, she said.
Union members were told Gouverneur Hospital wants to negotiate contracts in conformity with those at Canton-Potsdam Hospital in terms of wage structures and benefits, but it remains unclear whether that will benefit previous employees of E.J. Noble.
Were negotiating a contract right now at Canton-Potsdam, so its hard to say, Ms. Tucker said. Its all very ambiguous.

Aleister Crowley and the 20th Century Synthesis of Magick, by Dave Evans
By Psyche | 1 comment
Aleister Crowley and the 20th Century Synthesis of Magick: Strange distant gods that are not dead today, by Dave Evans Hidden Publishing, 9780955523724, 108 pp. (incl. appendices), 108 pp. (incl. appendices)Aleister Crowley and the 20th Century Synthesis of Magick is based on Dave Evans' master's thesis from Exeter University and represents the second, revised edition (the first being an e-book published in 2001).Evans writes that "Crowley is a particularly attractive person to study, as, apart from the Elizabethan magician John Dee, no leading occultist has left such comprehensive personal diaries and writings. It is this intimate and minutely detailed material that facilitates deep engagement with the subject." This certainly seems to be the case. Read More

(Makes 8 servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)
4-6 cups very small broccoli flowerets, blanched about 2 minutes, then drained well.
1-2 cups diced ham (1/2 - 1 lb.)
1 cup low-fat grated Mozzarella
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion (optional, but good)
8-10 eggs, well beaten
Spike Seasoning (or other all-purpose seasoning blend) to taste (I use about 1 tsp.)
fresh-ground black pepper, to taste
low-fat sour cream, for serving (optional)
South Beach Suggestions:
Broccoli, ham, cheese, and eggs are all very low-glycemic ingredients, so as long as you're careful to use lean ham and low-fat Mozzarella, this is a perfect breakfast (or lunch or dinner) for any phase of the South Beach Diet.

Advantages of the MCW-D 50 wireless conference system in historical buildings
They're often beautiful and stately, but older conference rooms can prove challenging for systems contractors who are trying to integrate modern AV equipment into their idiosyncratic tables, walls, and ceilings. The National World War II Museum in New Orleans houses a perfect example — its Purple Heart Boardroom, where the museum's board of directors, director, and staff frequently hold meetings. The handmade conference table has sentimental significance — its wood is from specific World War II battlefields in Europe and the Pacific — so there was no option to drill or replace the table. Therefore they have chosen the MCW-D 50 wireless conference system from beyerdynamic for their boardroom.
MCW-D 50 installed at National WWII Museum in New Orleans
The National WWII Museum (formerly known as The National D-Day Museum) in New Orleans has incorporated beyerdynamic's MCW-D 50 wireless conferencing system into its boardroom set-up.
Every inch of the structure is representative of the time period – even those areas not seen by the public, such as the museum's conference room. The space contains a 30 foot long solid-wood handcrafted meeting table which lists the different beaches that were invaded during WWII in the Pacific and Europe. When the museum asked SoundWorks to assist them in integrating a video and teleconferencing system to their meeting space, they found that the table, along with the room's structure, posed several unique challenges.
"My first thought was, 'we surely can't drill the table,'" explains Division Manager Robert Pourciau". Acoustically this room was challenging because due to the ceiling's concave shape, there's no access to put speakers into the ceiling. Additionally, with one wall being made entirely of glass, the room possessed almost every obstacle you could imagine for speech reinforcement.
"beyerdynamic's MCW-D 50 was the ultimate solution for this install," Pourciau continues. "Getting the speakers as close to the person as you possibly can is the best way to design an audio system. The portability of the MCW-D 50 wireless system allowed us to accomplish this without having to modify the meeting table in any way. The portability of the MCW-D 50 also allows the system to be moved to other locations throughout the museum to be used for various meetings."
The system also met the board's security requirements. MCW-D 50's DSSS ultra-safe transmission technology ensures that the signal cannot be detected by a third party. Other security features include a chipping code which provides additional encryption of audio signals before data transmission and an encrypting data transmission protocol and data compression created for exclusive use with beyerdynamic's wireless conferencing systems.

This may sound stupid, but finish reading.
Add more RAM.
The routing table and rule table gets loaded into memory. So as your LAN grows and you add more rules, the size of these grow quite quickly. I dont have alot of experience per se with Linux firewalls, but I have come to worship OpenBSD, and pf (the packet fitler for OBSD) has these limitations.
IF you dont mind my asking, how many rules are getting applied for how many users? And how much RAM? All in all, pump as much RAM as humanly possible in the firewall/gateway. I had for <75 rules 64 MB in the gateway. no problems whatsoever. The bridge I built, had less, 32MB and substantially less rules ( <20 ). Neither have had problems, nor any since my layoff (my manager is a friend of mine, and is rather clueless to UNIX. He will not hesitate to ask, since I built it).

Our Community Policing philosophy is to develop a partnership with the citizens
we serve by working together to help prevent crime and solve neighborhood issues of concern.
Our objectives are, to work with residents and businesses of the community to help resolve neighborhood problems and improve their quality of life, to teach residents of all ages about crime prevention and personal safety, and to put residents in touch with other agencies that will assist with their social concerns.
In 1994 the Port Arthur
Police Department applied for
and received a 1 Million Dollar grant from the Department of Justice to
implement the Integrated Community Oriented Policing Program (I.C.O.P.) in the City of Port Arthur.
With the implementation of the Integrated Community Oriented Policing Program in 1994, the Port Arthur Police Department has teamed up with the Citizens and have formed a total of 18 Neighborhood Action Groups. All of the N.A.G. Groups are directed by the Port Arthur Neighborhood Action Council.
What is a Neighborhood Action Group?
A Neighborhood Action Group is a group of citizens who want to take an active role in assisting the Police Department deter and solve crimes as well as other neighborhood issues that concern them.
Who can join a Neighborhood Action Group?
Any resident can join a Neighborhood Action Group. Groups have been organized within residential neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and housing projects.
We currently have over 1000 citizens participating in Neighborhood Actions Groups. Our program, with the help of many good citizens, will continue to grow and expand. Since the implementation of our program in 1994, the N.A.G. Groups, working in partnership with the Police Department has helped decrease Crime in Port Arthur by more than 54%.
Take a stand against crime.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Four To Five
Posted on February 12, 2008When we last visited Chimaira camp, we told of nine new song titles and a couple shows to boot.
Well, the boys are keepin' on...they now have another 4-5 songs written, songs which they plan to demo come the first week in November. Word has it that if you have long hair you will like the album. That album being titled 'The Impossibility Of Reason'.
As far as the shows, the show The Odeon in Cleveland, Ohio was a night of metal, violence, and windmills. Cats showed up from as far away as NYC, Chicago and Detroit. During the show, three new tracks were played for the first time - "Stigmurder," "Pictures In The Goldroom" and "Cleansation."

|Bear sighting causes lockdown
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 31 May 2007 04:24
School officials in Hickory put Jenkins Elementary School on lockdown when police received word of a nearby bear sighting earlier this week.The playground was cleared and students were kept inside. Parents were notified to pickup their students instead of letting kids walk home. Police searched for the animal near the school but were unable to locate the bear. Wildlife experts attribute increased bear sightings to an Easter freeze that killed some of the bears' food supply, causing them to venture into residential neighborhoods. If you spot a bear, wildlife officials recommend staying indoors and calling your local law agency.

A shooting at a Connecticut elementary school today left 27 people dead, including 18 children, the Associated Press reported, citing an official.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still under way. Another official, speaking on condition of anonymity for the same reason, said the gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown was killed and apparently had two guns.
Probably the most sick and sad thing I've ever heard of. Elementary school. Unbelievable.

Joe Henderson of Vero Beach went to the Indian River Mall. "(The hours) aren't bad. It makes it easier on a lot of people. Nobody wants to come at 4 a.m. We got here at 5 p.m."
Jonna Streeter of Vero Beach has participated in Black Friday shopping for more than a decade. "I'm a teacher. I have to get every deal I can. This is it. I'm done shopping when I get home. I actually lost out on two TVs waiting over night and walked into Target and someone returned (a TV). I don't like the Thanksgiving (hours). That killed it for me, but I still came and did it."
Moss Purcell, 16, of Vero Beach was the first person in line at the Vero Beach Best Buy. "I got here at 2 (Thursday afternoon). I want a laptop and a TV."

Summer Pamalee of Fort Pierce stopped at WalMart in Vero Beach before going to Target. "I've done this about 12 years in a row. I don't like it (the new hours). I think it takes a lot from Thanksgiving and Black Friday is not supposed to be started until Friday."Any thoughts to skipping"No, we still came out like troopers."
Vanessa Alvarez, 18, was first in line at the SEars in Vero Beach. "We started out at Best Buy at 7p.m., but we didn't like the deals, so we came to Sears at 5 a.m." She says she goes out every year to shop, but this year was looking for a TV.
4:45 am: Mother daughter team Virginia Steele (pictured) and Donna Bellefleur was in the middle of the line at Staples. The duo planned to get small items such as memory cards and web cams. "You have to have a strategy."
ÒWe planned this months in advance,Ó said Port St. Lucie resident Craig Messner, 24, who camped out in front of the Jensen Beach Best Buy since Wednesday and was at the front of the electronic storeÕs line last year too. ÒA lot of them are our friends but we had some people ask us to help them and we figured weÕre sitting here wasting time not working trying to get the good deals, we figured it would be a few extra bucks.Ó
Jennette Hill (left) and Dorothy Hill (right) of StuartDorothy Hill said she was surprised so many sale items were left. She's been shopping on Black Friday for over 12 years and said the lines were usually much worse during the day. "We're used to lines for hours," Hill said. "It's been wonderful."

ÒMy parents are working so I canÕt really celebrate Thanksgiving,Ó said Port St. Lucie resident Chris Soriano, 19, about why he camped out in front of GameStop for 12 hours before they opened at midnight.

"Two years ago, we were out for 24 hours straight," Stephanie said. They brought their friend Maria Ford for the first time this year. "I'll never do this again," Ford said. "It wasn't worth it when people try and kill you over sheets."
Matt Woemmel of Fort Pierce was out shopping early Friday. "My girlfriend wanted to go shopping. She wanted to go to the Coach Outlet, so we've been standing out here for about an hour and a half. I sat here weathering the cold, blood, sweat and tears holding the spot. She's in there getting it done. That's all I know."

Cardiac CT makes strong predictions of major heart trouble
Data from the ROMICAT (Rule Out Myocardial Infarction Using Computer Assisted Tomography) trial show that cardiac CT has prognostic value, particularly in those at low to intermediate risk of acute coronary syndrome, according to Christopher L Schlett of Massachusetts General Hospital and colleagues in a paper in the May 2011 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging.
"We found that if you have no CAD [coronary artery disease] by CCTA [cardiac CT angiography], you have 0% chance of having a major adverse cardiovascular event for at least two years; your prognosis is excellent," said senior author Quynh A Truong, MD.
