The National High School Center recognizes that there are a variety of processes that high schools and districts can employ to support high school improvement. Regardless of the specific tools and frameworks that may be used, the Center believes that the six steps of high school improvement illustrated in the School Improvement Process figure provide high schools and districts with a structure to customize their approach to best support high school improvement efforts.
While the Center's high school improvement process does not require schools and districts to use specific tools or frameworks, it was designed to build on the following Center resources:
- Eight Elements of High School Improvement: A Mapping Framework
- A Self-Assessment Tool: A Coherent Approach to High School Improvement
- High School Improvement: Indicators of Effectiveness and School-Level Benchmarks

Cornerstone University and head baseball coach David Mitroff are pleased to announce the signing of Zach Harbison, a catcher from Zeeland, Michigan who most recently played at Jackson Community College. As a sophomore at Jackson, Harbison hit three homers and drove in 21 runs while hitting .258. More than one-third of his hits went for extra bases and he was an outstanding defender behind the plate.
When asked about his choice of Cornerstone University, Zach said, "It was important for me to find a school that had faith in me not only on the field but in the classroom as well. After talking with Coach Mitroff, it was clear that he believed in my academic skills just as much as my baseball ability, making CU the obvious choice. I hope to help lead not just a competitive team, but a championship team. From what I have seen we definitely have the talent to play with anybody in our league. Now I'm at a university where I can develop on the field and in my relationship with the Lord."
Head baseball coach David Mitroff said, "Zach has all the tools to be an impact player for us in our first season. He is a solid defensive catcher with gap to gap power and he brings some toughness and experience to our young squad. We believe that he will help mentor our freshman catchers and assist in the development of a young and talented pitching staff."

African Union urges international solidarity for development
African leaders Wednesday took to the podium of the United Nations General Assembly to stress the importance of international solidarity in setting a new long-term global development agenda that, if properly managed, could see the 21st century becoming an "African century."
"With its enhanced peace and stability, rapid economic growth, natural resource endowment and a growing middle class, Africa is certainly on the rise and this is attracting a lot of attention from the rest of the world," Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn declared on the second day of the annual General Debate, speaking in both his national capacity and as chairperson of the 54 member-State African Union (AU).
"The 21st century will be an African century if indeed we harmonize our efforts to maintain and indeed speed up the rapid economic growth that Africa has been registering for the last decade or so. We have every reason to be optimistic that African renaissance is indeed around the corner."
The theme of this year's 68th General Assembly is the post-2015 development agenda, aimed at drawing up an even more ambitious blueprint to totally eliminate poverty and its attendant ills in the decades following the end of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) cycle.
The eight Goals, adopted at the 2000 UN summit, aim to slash extreme hunger and poverty, boost access to health care and education, achieve gender equality and environmental stability, reduce maternal and child mortality and the incidence of HIV/AIDS, all by the end of 2015.
Africa attaches paramount importance to the post-2015 agenda, Dessalegn said, stressing the need to galvanize international support to ensure that the successes achieved in implementing the MDGs, despite shortfalls, are sustained and the continent's development priorities beyond 2015 are fully taken on board, ranging from ensuring continent-wide food security to industrialization to educating youth and upgrading their skills.
He highlighted the multi-dimensional expansion of cooperation between the AU and the UN, adding: "A lot remains to be done to further enhance the cooperation and partnership between the African Union and the United Nations in the context of the changing dynamics both within Africa and the world at large."
President Macky Sall of Senegal underscored the need for greater investment in education, training and youth employment, modernizing agriculture, making electricity accessible to all, and developing infrastructure to foster trade and investment. "Despite the progress registered after more than a decade of MDG implementation, the magnitude of the challenges is still overwhelming," he said.
"The daily lives of close to a billion people have barely improved with regard to access to food, housing, education and health care. Women continue to die in childbirth. Inequalities persist within and between countries. The economic crisis is getting worse. We need to take concrete and resolute actions to translate our collective ambition into reality."
He called for reform of international economic and financial governance, notably the conditions regarding access to credit and for the financing of economic and social development projects, and the establishment of agreed mechanisms to improve transparency in international transactions, including the extractive industry.
In his address to the Assembly, President Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso noted that socio-economic development is crucial in paving the way to continent-wide peace. The post-2015 agenda "raises in a pertinent fashion the dialectical linkage between development, peace and security," he said. "We thus have a chance to focus our reflections on a new vision towards global; progress based on strong international solidarity for sustainable development."
He also underscored the dangers and instability that Africa's Sahel region faced from drug traffickers and terrorists.
Madagascar's Transitional President Andry Rajoelina noted that his country, like most African nations, is having difficulty in reaching all the MDGs despite its best efforts.
"Faced with this situation I am prompted to ask what contribution we, the nations' highest authorities, can bring individually to this collective search for ways and means to improve the daily lot of the people who have entrusted us with their destinies and afforded us their trust," he said.
King Mswati III of Swaziland also stressed the vital need for global financial and technical support for sustainable development after 2015.
"The provision of adequate financial resources, transfer of environmentally sound technologies, and technical assistance to developing countries is critical if we are to achieve our global objectives," he told the Assembly, calling on developed countries to honour the pledges they have already made.
"Ensuring food security and good nutrition remains a priority and should feature prominently in the Post-2015 Development Agenda," he added, warning about the serious drawback climate change poses for developing countries.
President Paul Biya of Cameroon, in a statement read by Foreign Minister Moukoko Mbonjo, said the Post-2015 Agenda must emphasize the creation of decent jobs as an engine for economic growth and sustained development.
He also emphasized the need top tackle environmental issues and reform "the entire international economic and financial system."

With this summary, we look at a snapshot of health indicators from several sources and examine how the Affordable Care Act is being rolled out in Florida.
While it is too early to determine the long-term impact of the ACA, the factors summarized below help establish where Florida stands and where it may be headed in terms of public health and access to affordable health insurance.
Florida health ratings
The 2014 Scorecard on State Health System Performance ranks Florida 41st, down one spot from the 2009 ranking. The Scorecard evaluates a range of health indicators and gives an overall score to each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Florida's scorecard details how the state scored on individual measures within five categories: Access, Prevention & Treatment, Avoidable Hospital Use & Cost, Healthy Lives, and Equity.
Looking at a somewhat different set of indicators, America's Health Rankings also compares health across the states. In the 2013 evaluation, which is the most recent available, Florida ranks 33rd. Florida ranked 31st in the 2012 evaluation. Florida's strengths include a low obesity rate and low levels of air pollution. Health-related challenges in the state include a high rate of drug-related deaths, a low high school graduation rate, and a high percentage of uninsured residents.
While it does not include an overall score, the 2014 edition of Trust for America's Health provides a wealth of public health information; see Key Health Data About Florida.
If you want to examine rankings for a specific area of Florida, check out the county-by-county health rankings from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Population Health Institute at the University of Wisconsin.
Florida and the Affordable Care Act
In the 2010 vote on the Affordable Care Act, Florida's senators split their votes. Sen. Bill Nelson (D) voted yes, while the Sen. George LeMieux (R) voted no. LeMieux briefly held the Senate seat after being appointed by then-Gov. Charlie Crist to serve out the remainder of Republican Sen. Mel Martinez, who retired. LeMieux left the Senate in 2011, replaced by Marco Rubio. Rubio is opposed to the Affordable Care Act.
Among Florida's delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, 9 members voted in favor of the ACA, while 15 voted against the law. Republicans outnumber Democrats in the current delegation.
The Affordable Care Act was not well received by state-level politicians in Florida. Gov. Rick Scott is vocally opposed to the health care reform law, and the state rejected federal loans to evaluate a state-run exchange, was the lead plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court case challenging the ACA, and rejected Medicaid expansion.
Is the ACA helping Florida's uninsured?
According to a Gallup survey, Florida's uninsured rate dropped 3.2 points from 2013 to mid-year 2014. With a starting point of 22.1 percent, Florida's estimated uninsured rate remains high at 18.9 percent. That's 5.5 percentage points above the national uninsured rate of 13.4 percent.
Florida enrollment in QHPs
Despite the ACA's cold reception among political leaders, Florida residents took advantage of the health insurance marketplace. At 38.7 percent, Florida ranked fourth in the nation for the percentage of eligible consumers who purchased a qualified health plan (QHP). Nearly 984,000 people purchased private coverage, with 91 percent qualifying for premium subsidies.
Florida marketplace enrollment is expected to exceed 1 million for 2015, including 206,000 new enrollees.
A Florida consumers could choose from among 10 insurance carriers during the 2014 open enrollment period.
For 2015, the number of insures has expanded to 14: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, Cigna, Coventry Health Care of FL, Florida Health Care Plan, Health First Health Plans, Health First Insurance, Health Options, Humana, Molina Healthcare of Florida, Preferred Medical Plan, Sunshine State Health Plan, Time Insurance Company, and UnitedHealthcare of Florida.
Medicaid in Florida
Medicaid expansion was intended as one of the ACA's main vehicles for reducing the number of people who lacked medical insurance coverage. However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2012 opened the door to many states, including Florida, to opt out of Medicaid expansion.
Florida's decision not to expand Medicaid leaves 764,000 people in the coverage gap, meaning they do not qualify for Medicaid nor are they eligible for tax subsidies to help them afford private health insurance.
Learn about Florida's health insurance assistance programs for low-income individuals and families.
Other ACA reform provisions
The Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) Program is a provision of the Affordable Care Act. Through federal loans, the program encouraged start-up, nonprofit health insurers to enter the market and increase choice and competition. While no CO-OP plans were created in Florida, 23 private, nonprofit plans were set up across the U.S.
Does Florida have a high-risk pool?
Before the ACA reformed the individual health insurance market, medical underwriting was used to determine eligibility for private coverage in nearly every state, including Florida. People with pre-existing conditions often found themselves unable to purchase coverage at all, or only eligible for plans that excluded their pre-existing conditions or charged them higher premiums in order to offer comprehensive coverage.
Florida created a high risk pool in 1983 to provide an option for people unable to obtain private individual coverage. But amid rising enrollment and losses, the plan closed to new enrollees in 1990. By the end of 2010, there were only 235 people enrolled in Florida's high risk pool.
Under the ACA, all new health insurance policies became guaranteed issue starting on January 1, 2014. This change largely eliminated the need for high risk pools, and the members who were still enrolled in Florida's risk pool became eligible for coverage in the private market. The Florida legislature passed a measure in 2013 that called for the termination of risk pool coverage at the end of June, 2014. The pool will be fully dissolved by August 2015, but no longer has any current policy holders.
Florida reform at the state level
Here's what's happening legislatively at the state level with healthcare reform in Florida:

College of Communication & Creative Arts - Writing Arts
For Students
Commonly Asked Questions Concerning Portfolio Seminar
The Portfolio Seminar webpage, which is cited often below, is found at: http://www.rowan.edu/writingarts/portfolioseminar.html
Click on the link below to see the specific questions in that category:
The Analysis Statement
The Portfolio
Group Work
Sharing your Portfolio
Due Dates
Problems and Concerns
When PS is Offered
Taking PS While Student Teaching
1. What is PS?
Portfolio Seminar is one of two senior-level capstone courses (along with Evaluating Writing) in the Writing Arts major, minor and Liberal Studies option B. Portfolio Seminar is a one-credit course for which you submit an electronic portfolio of work completed during your career in Writing Arts. The portfolio is then reviewed and evaluated by your advisor.
2. How come there are no meeting dates for PS on my schedule?
PS is set up much like an independent study. You will meet once as part of a large group with other PS students nears the beginning of the semester (you will be contacted via email concerning possible meeting dates and times), but the rest of the work is completed at your pace, with some limitations.
3. How do I find out who my advisor is?
For all students in the College of Communication and Creative Arts, your advisor is now listed in Banner on your GRAD screen. Please follow this link for Student Self Service and log into your account.
4. What exactly is the analysis statement in PS?
The AS draws on your portfolio pieces to demonstrate that you have achieved the core values. See "The Analysis Statement" on the Portfolio Seminar webpage for more information.
5. I've finished a draft of my analysis statement. Now what do I do?
Contact Tweedie via email. He will place you in a group who will peer edit electronically via Blackboard.
6. When should I start my portfolio?
Portfolios are located on the Blackboard site for Portfolio Seminar. If you aren't saving your work someplace other than on a hard drive, you could lose everything if the hard drive crashes, rendering it impossible for you to pass Portfolio Seminar!
7. What should be included in my portfolio?
Information on what goes in the portfolio can be found at "Portfolio Contents and Uploading Hints" on the Portfolio Seminar page listed above. Information on how to set up your portfolio and give access to others is also located on that site.
Unless a paper falls under the situation discussed in question 9 below, it should be converted to a pdf before uploading it to your portfolio.
8. How do I save my files as pdfs?
Instructions for how to do this are found on page 8 of the "More extensive version" of the "Guides to Electronic Portfolios at Rowan," found on the Portfolio Seminar webpage.
9. What if some of my "papers" are web pages or only exist in cyberspace?
No problem. Just supply the links as part of the portfolio.
10. What if I can't upload my pieces to my portfolio?
There may be several reasons for this. The easiest solution may be that your web browser is incompatible with Blackboard. You can try a different browser.
Or on the login page for Blackboard, click on the link to Check Browser. You will then receive information on whether your particular browser is compatible.
Microsoft Vista users must follow these directions:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted sites > Sites.
3. Uncheck the checkbox next to "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone."
4. Type http://blackboard.rowan.edu into the Add this Website to the zone textbox and click Add.
5. Click OK.
11. How do I get placed into a group for group work?
You need to contact Tweedie when a draft of your analysis statement is complete. After he gets enough people to form a group, he will create the group in Blackboard and ask you to complete your group work within 7-10 days.
12. How does group work function in Blackboard?
If you have never used the Discussions tool in Blackboard, instructions can be found on the Portfolio Seminar Blackboard page.
13. How do I use the comment feature on Word?
With PCs, highlight the area of the text you want to comment on. On the "Review" tab, in the "Comments" group, click "New Comment."
With Macs, highlight the area of the text you want to comment on, drop down the "Insert" menu and then open "Comment."
14. What if I am not receiving feedback from all of my group members?
As a group, set a date for how soon you want everyone to comment on the analysis statements. I suggest 7-10 days. Once the date has passed, try to contact anyone who hasn't commented. If you don't hear back, contact me. If after a reasonable amount of time, the person doesn't get in touch with me or comment, we will consider him/her out of the group, and that person will not receive credit for group work. This will affect his or her grade in the course but not yours.
15. How and who do I invite to see my portfolio?
You need to invite your advisor and Tweedie. Use the list of advisors and usernames in Blackboard to determine your advisor's correct username. Mine is Tweedie. Instructions for inviting others to view your portfolio are found on page 30 of the "More extensive version" of the "Guides to Electronic Portfolios at Rowan," located on the Portfolio Seminar webpage.
16. When does this all need to be done by?
The checklist, found on the Portfolio Seminar webpage, sets general parameters for completion of your work.
17. What if I am currently enrolled in Evaluating Writing and my major assignments aren't due until later in the semester?
This may cause problems in completing your work in a timely manner. You will need to be flexible. You can certainly begin and complete most of your Analysis Statement without having this one paper.
18. How am I evaluated in PS?
Your advisor evaluates your Analysis Statement based on the rubric found on the Portfolio Seminar webpage. As long as you have completed the group work, I will, in all likelihood, honor that person's grade. If you did not participate in group work, your grade will be lowered by 1/3 of a grade (B becomes a B-, for example).
19. I received an Incomplete in Portfolio Seminar. How come?
I cannot turn in any grades unless I turn in all grades. At the end of the semester, if I have not received a grade from an advisor, I enter it as an Incomplete so that others in the class receive their grades in a timely manner.
If you receive an Incomplete, first attempt to contact your advisor to find out why your work has not been evaluated before contacting me.
20. I don't see a tab for my portfolio on Blackboard. What should I do?
Contact me immediately, and I will try to get one set up for you.
21. My advisor isn't getting back to me. What should I do?
If after waiting a reasonable amount of time and having attempted to contact your advisor without success, contact me and I will find out what is going on.
22. I received an Incomplete in Portfolio Seminar. How come?
See question 18 above.
23. Can I take PS during the summer?
Yes. The department in no way wants to impede anyone's progress towards graduation. Taking it during the summer may mean your advisor is not available, but that will be addressed on an individual basis.
Taking PS While Student Teaching
24. Should I take PS while student teaching?
Only you can answer this question. PS requires a substantial paper—twelve to fifteen pages on average—and as one of the culminating experiences of your WA career requires a lot of synthesizing of ideas you have learned previously.
That said, certainly nothing prohibits you from starting your AS prior to the semester you take PS!

The Hidden Genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreIn 1992, Beverly Allen learned of the existence of rape/death camps in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia from a former student, a woman of Croatian heritage. In these camps, women were—and are still—being detained and raped repeatedly by Serbian soldiers, whose goal often is to impregnate their victims or to torture them before they are killed. In this highly personal account, Beverly Allen provides a compelling testimony and analysis of the horrifying phenomenon of "a military policy of rape for the purpose of genocide." In Rape Warfare, Allen examines the complexity of identity in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia through the accounts of rape/death camp survivors and those who work to help them. She then presents and analyzes the information she has gathered about genocidal rape, all the while asking, "How can I, an empathizing outsider, communicate what is happening without reinforcing the damage that has already been done?" In a nuanced discussion of the ethics of representing such atrocities, she decides to "forgo storytelling except when the stories I tell are my own." Allen concludes with an impassioned argument for bringing to trial the perpetrators of genocidal rape. By turns personal, polemical, and informative, Rape Warfare is a lucid guide for anyone seeking to make sense of what is happening in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. Beverly Allen has spoken out in newspapers and on television and radio to raise awareness of rape/death camps. In Rape Warfare, she writes, "Every time I meet another woman who has survived, or who is helping the survivors, or who is struggling to articulate the horror the survivors and the dead have suffered and to prevent its recurrence, my own anger and grave distress turn toward hope." less

When I first started this blog it was all about cupcakes. However, now that I have grown more confident with my baking and cooking skills, I blog about everything from apple pie to boeuf bourguignonne! My blog has essentially become a way for me to keep track of my progress, as well as to record all the recipes I've tried.
There is also a sub-chapter of How To Eat A Cupcake called Not Your Momma's Test Kitchen. I originally created it as a separate blog, but I decided it would be more practical to keep all my eggs in one basket.
About Me
I'm a 23 year old girl. I am a graduate of community college. I'm a self-taught baker/business owner. Yeah, that's right! I'm co-owner of Flour Child Bakery with my mom! ;) I'm addicted to Frontierville on Facebook. I spend entire days catching up on my DVR list. I frequently live in another universe known as the blogosphere. But what makes me happiest is feeding my friends and family food that I've made with my own hands. When I can tell them every single ingredient they'll be tasting in each and every bite. When their eyes close and that quiet "mmmm" slips out. When they go for seconds. When they ask what's for dessert (and I made that too). That's when I feel most satisfied.
Flour Child Bakery is scheduled to open early Fall 2010! ;)
Flour Child Bakery opens in Virginia Beach!
My mom and I just opened a bakery in Virginia Beach!! "Like" us to stay updated! If you care to read our blog, it's flourchildbakery.blogspot.com.

Sweet windbreaker. Not a winter jacket at all. Great for early season/late season dry, warm days. It is cut long which is nice. I get complements on it all the time. I'm 5'7" and the Med is perfect for riding but a bit large to wear daily. 5 stars if you already have a winter jacket.

MASSENA - A Massenas man initial refusal and then apparent inability to complete a drug test cost him his freedom during an appearance in Massena Village Court.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson directed Joshua Henderson, 24, of 68 East Orvis St., Massena, after court security informed him the Massena man smelled like marijuana. Henderson was making a court appearance on a third-degree unauthorized use of a motor vehicle count. Prosecutors had apparently been prepared to offer a plea bargain that would have allowed Henderson to plead guilty to a disorderly conduct violation to satisfy the pending misdemeanor charge.
St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Andrew Botts recommended Henderson be sent to the county jail with bail set at $1,000. He apparently showed up for court high on THC and doesnt want to be tested, he noted.
Henderson initially refused to submit to the drug test being conducted by a representative from the St. Lawrence County Probation Department. He told the court he would fell uncomfortable taking the test - noting he had been accompanied to court by his girl(friend). I feel Im here for a different reason, he told Mr. Gustafson.
The village justice noted when defendants are released under the supervision of the probation department the court expects certain behaviors. You come in smelling of marijuana and then dont want to do a drug test. Thats fine, Mr. Gustafson.
But the village justice said that meant he was going to have to reconsider Hendersons release status, pointing out that Henderson has had several different addresses in Monroe County and the Massena area over the past year and still had several charges pending in Monroe County.
He asked Henderson if he could post any bail.
None of my friends has a job right now, Henderson responded. Im not a runner.
The village justice had urged the former Rochester area man to take the drug test. Smoking a little pot isnt the worst thing that comes before me, even today, Mr. Gustafson.
But the village justice said Hendersons refusal to take the drug test left the court with little incentive to work with him to keep him out of jail. Mr. Gustafson set bail at $500 cash or bond. Henderson later posted bail and was released from custody.
Henderson had been charged with taking Tammy Embarks 2008 Toyota Scion without her consent in the early morning hours of Nov. 1. He drove the vehicle for approximately five hours before returning it. Henderson was dating Ms. Embarks daughter at the time of the incident.
Henderson had been charged with first-degree aggravated criminal contempt and third-degree assault on April 9 and first-degree criminal contempt, petit larceny, second-degree harassment and endangering the welfare of a child on April 12 in Monroe County. He had been charged with aggravated harassment and obstruction of governmental administration June 30 in the town of Bombay.
In other recent court action before Judge Gustafson:
■ Christopher Miller, 27, of 209 East Orvis St., Massena, was sentenced to time served and ordered to pay a $205 surcharge after pleading guilty to one count of criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument. He had been found in possession of three needles during a Dec. 11 search of his residence by New York state Parole and Community Services officers.
Miller was returned to the county jail, where he is being held on a parole detainer. He is expected to be sent back a state correctional facility for violating the conditions of his parole.
Miller had been sentenced to one to four years in prison for a third-degree rape conviction from St. Lawrence County Court. He had entered state prison on Aug. 3, 2010 and was released under parole supervision on May 11, 2012.
The maximum expiration date of his sentence is Sept. 12, 2013.
■ David D. Murray, 53, of 161 Water St., Apt. 1, Massena, was fined $200 and a $125 surcharge for a second-degree harassment conviction. He was also placed under a one-year conditional discharge with stipulations he commit no further offenses and abide by the terms of a no harassment order of protection.
Murray had been charged with harassment and disorderly conduct following a domestic dispute with his wife, Erin Hanna-Murray, on Nov. 15. He reportedly grabbed her by the arm, forced her to the door and shoved her out of their residence.

This test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a wound. The test is used to find out if a wound is infected. It can also identify the type of organism that's causing the infection.
This test requires a small sample of cells or fluid from a wound. Then the sample is cultured and looked at under a microscope to look for bacteria or other organisms.
An infected wound may need special treatment, such as antibiotics. The antibiotics stop the infection and keep it from spreading to other areas of the body. Treating the infection also helps the wound to heal.
You may need this test if your doctor suspects that your wound is infected or if you were bitten by an animal, insect, or another person.
Symptoms of an infected wound include:
Swelling or a sudden lump under the skin
Pus or bad-smelling fluid draining from the wound
Skin around the wound that feels hot to the touch
Bumps near the wound that look like boils, pustules, spider bites, or a rash
In more advanced infections, you may also have exhaustion, confusion, fever, and chills.
Your doctor may also order these tests:
Blood tests, including those to check liver function, blood proteins, and blood sugar, as well as a complete blood count, or CBC
Urine tests
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Normal results are negative, meaning that no organisms grew in the culture from your wound. A positive result means that bacteria or other organisms did grow and that your wound is infected. From your test results, your doctor can determine what's causing the infection and give you the best antibiotic to treat it.
This test requires a swab of the fluid or cells from an open wound. Your health care provider will carefully clean the wound and flush out any dirt with water. Then he or she will collect a sample using a long cotton swab to gently wipe the wound. If the wound isn't oozing, your doctor may moisten the swab with a sterile saline solution.
This test poses no known risks.
Other factors aren't likely to affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

I need all 10 fingers and all 10 toes to count the number of women I know who've survived lumpectomies, mastectomies, biopsies, chemo and radiation.
We are reminded about breast cancer when we have friends/family affected by it. However, during the month of October, not a soul can miss the sea of pink that overtakes the western hemisphere. From the NFL (got to love those pink-striped cleats, and jerseys) to the average can of red and white labeled Campbell's soup, which overnight becomes awash in hot pink and white!
Talking about breast cancer and wearing pink in support of awareness of the disease is one thing. However, being proactive to prevent it is another.
Did you know:
- One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
- Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
- Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women.
- Each year it is estimated that more than 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.
- Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 410 will die each year.
So, what's your part in all of this?
Current guidelines recommend annual mammograms for women starting at age 40. (Earlier for those with family history. Consult with your doctor.) Regular screening exams can help find breast cancer early, when it is more easily treated.
Unfortunately, this can be a roadblock for many women – some lack insurance, others are simply scared.
Women who are uninsured or underinsured should contact their local hospital/healthcare system or the local American Cancer Society for resources that may be available in their community. There are a variety of free or low-cost screening programs available.
For those women who are fearful, "Really, you want me to put that there, and you are going to compress my breast until it's flat as a pancake? No way!" I say, "Yes way!"
Turn your annual mammograms into an excuse for a day spent with girlfriends –make appointments one after the other, grab some breakfast, and then head off for a day of shopping. Or take the last appointments of the day, and then head out to dinner with the girls. No one said the actual procedure is fun, in fact, I find I talk nonstop with the technician the entire time. But when it's over and I receive the letter or email a few days later that all is well, I breathe a huge sigh of relief — at least for a few days, knowing that for the next 11 months it's incumbent upon me (and all of you!) to perform breast self-exams. If you detect any changes, immediately contact your family physician.
Ladies, don't let fear be your enemy on this – grab the phone today, make the call and schedule your annual mammogram – it could save your life!

History is rife with examples of corn's usefulness to society from its original domestication over 6,000 years ago by the Indians of modern Central America to Columbus' diary entry of 1492 noting its 'very good taste.' Besides being a Thanksgiving dinner staple, corn is used for biofuel and feedstock. More than 80 million acres of land in the United States are devoted to growing corn, accounting for more than 90 percent of the total value of feed grain.
The importance of sequencing the corn genome cannot be underrated. Through a joint National Science Foundation (NSF) and United States Department of Agriculture grant, a consortium of researchers led by the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University are close to mapping the entire corn genome. This is an immense task; at 2.5 billion base pairs covering 10 chromosomes, the corn genome size is comparable in size to the human genome.
Once completed, the project will allow scientists to understand the functional genetic components of the plant, undoubtedly leading to crops with increased yields, and improved drought and pest resistance. For more details, see NSF's "All Eyes and Ears on the Corn Genome."
New NSF-supported research from the University of Oklahoma suggests that when companies go green, they can acquire funds less expensively than similar companies that do not. The finding is one of several from a study that shows improved green performance benefits corporations in ways previously not considered by economic analysts.
The ability to obtain financing at lower costs frees a company's other assets for further investment and future growth. Until now, evidence of this positive connection between a company's green practices and investments by financial markets has not been well documented. Instead, researchers historically saw "green" practices as a negative or a cost to companies and argued they should be minimized whenever possible. A recent study, however, took a different view, opting to focus primarily on how investors perceive firms committed to green practices.
To learn more about why companies choose to go green, see NSF's Discovery "Financial Markets Grow Green Companies."
Following the devastation caused by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, the scientific community is striving to provide practical climate change information to coastal communities, offshore drilling operations and other groups of interest. Currently, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., an NSF-sponsored center, is examining the influence of global warming on recent hurricanes and potential future impacts. NCAR utilizes computer simulations to recreate the behavior of a single hurricane and map its impact.
Greg Holland, leader of the NCAR project, said, "It is clear from the effects of recent hurricane activity that we urgently need to learn more about how hurricane intensity and behavior may respond to warming climate." To learn more about NCAR's research efforts, see the NSF's "Future Risk of Hurricanes: The Role of Climate Change."
Earlier this year, consumers around the world noticed higher food prices as the cost of most grains escalated. In many parts of the developing world, rice, a crucial staple for billions of people, became too expensive or not available at all, triggering large-scale hunger and food riots that destabilized entire countries and regions.
In May of this year, a group of computational biologists at the University of Washington began tapping the collective power of more than 1 million desk-top computers to better understand the protein structures of rice plants. Building on research funded by the NSF, the Nutritious Rice for the World project is already yielding results that are being used by plant biologists around the world. The goal of this combined effort is to grow hardier and more productive strains of rice that are also more nutritious.
Ultimately, the combined power of these computers should allow the researchers to map out the 30,000 to 60,000 rice protein structures, leading to higher yields and more nutritious grain. See NSF's Discovery for more information on this scientific rice race.
NSF's Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) funds 67 percent of basic biological research occurring at U.S. universities and colleges. More specifically, NSF's BIO Directorate supports 62 percent of all environmental biology at U.S. academic institutions.
Studies on recent jellyfish blooms offer an example of timely non-medical, NSF-supported biological science research. In recent years, massive blooms of stinging jellyfish have overrun some of the world's most important fisheries and tourist destinations--even transforming large swaths of water into veritable 'jellytoriums.' The result: injuries (sometimes serious) to water enthusiasts and even occasional deaths. To read more about jellyfish blooms, see NSF's Special Report: "Jellyfish Gone Wild!"
Four early-career U.S. chemists were recently awarded the first American Competitiveness in Chemistry Fellowships. The awards showcase U.S. economic competitiveness within the global marketplace and serve to enrich research programs of beginning chemists.
The two-year, $200,000 fellowships, funded by NSF, require the chemists to establish research partners from industry, national laboratories or centers funded by NSF's Division of Chemistry. Awardees must also develop and implement plans that broaden participation within the chemical sciences.
The inaugural fellows each has a unique set of research objectives.
Takiya Ahmed of the University of Washington is working to convert low-value byproducts from biodiesel manufacturing into more valuable chemical products.
Diane Hinkens of South Dakota State University will increase the efficiency of converting sunlight to energy. She talks about her research and her life as a scientist in a "Science Lives" article, which can be seen at LiveScience.com.
Andrea Munro of the University of Arizona is developing new low-cost solar cell devices.
Jonathan Raff of the University of California-Irvine will improve our understanding of how chemical reactions on surfaces affect atmospheric processes, including corrosion, catalysis and the degradation of electronics.
"The fellowship program was established by the NSF Division of Chemistry in response to the president's 2006 American Competitiveness Initiative and Congress' 2007 passage of the America COMPETES Act," said Luis Echegoyen, director of NSF's Division of Chemistry. "It is an excellent vehicle for broadening participation in chemistry." At the time of the award, a fellow must hold a doctorate in the chemical sciences and must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Robots and Sensors to Help Elderly Stay Independent (Dallas Morning News, 10/14/08) Like smart pets that never require feeding, robots will scoot from room-to-room to wake seniors in the morning, remind them to take their medication and send for help if someone falls. With support from NSF, Dr. Fillia Makedon and colleagues are designing technologies that will allow tomorrow's seniors to remain independent longer than previous generations.
Data Mining for Terrorists Is Futile (PC World, 10/13/08) The kind of pattern-seeking data mining and behavioral surveillance technologies that are being used by several federal agencies to identify potential terrorists are far too unreliable to be of any real value, according to a report issued by the National Research Council (NRC). The continued use of such tools also poses potential privacy problems for individuals, the NRC said in its 376-page report, which was prepared at the request of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and NSF.
A team of computer scientists and other academic researchers from across the country are working to help bring the latest research, insights and innovations from the lab to the voting booth. Created in 2005 with a $7.5 million award from NSF, the Center for Correct, Usable, Reliable, Auditable and Transparent Elections (ACCURATE), is funded by NSF's CyberTrust program, an initiative seeking to make the nation's IT systems reliable, even in the face of cyber attacks.
The researchers are examining voting technologies from a scientific perspective and are using a holistic approach to understand how the computers, touch screens and other technologies are interrelated in elections.
The team has created several new tools using existing theories and approaches commonly used in computer science to test voting technologies and systems, which state and local elections officials can use to test their election plans and find possible vulnerabilities. In 2007, the ACCURATE team produced many new research results in all of their core research areas, including system level issues, the role of cryptography, design for verification, relating policy to technology, and usability and accessibility. For more information on ACCURATE, see the NSF press release and ACCURATE's 2007 Annual Report.

In 1971, audiences were delivered the message that the freewheelin' sixties were over, and so were the innocent fifties for that matter, when long-legged Clint Eastwood stepped onto the screen as "cop on the edge" Harry Callahan in the groundbreaking crime thriller, Dirty Harry. Other tough-as-nails cops and private eyes followed in Harry's cynical footsteps, including Shaft, Serpico, and a guy named Popeye Doyle. This new generation of cop film was a marked departure from past crime films, where guys like G-Man Jimmy Stewart would walk proudly through spotless backlots dispatching ne'r-do-wells with precision shots from six-shooters balanced on their wrist. They were a return to the hardboiled, world-weary detectives of the 1940s. Callahan and his compatriots were angry, disillusioned, and cynical.

War of the Robots
When one possesses tastes such as I do, one often assumes that one will find oneself standing alone in a vast sea of people who think one is mad, completely mad. If the Internet has taught me one thing other than there are a lot of blogs maintained by people's house cats, it's that you're never so alone as you think you are. No matter how obscure or out of the mainstream your affection for a particular something may be, chances are very good there are multiple discussion boards, tumblrs, and websites dedicated to defending and celebrating whatever that thing may be. Heck, by Internet standards furries, scat freaks, and people who like to watch monkeys stick their fingers up their butt then sniff them and fall over are mainstream. And yet even in this glorious netherworld where everything is acceptable and nothing is beyond the realm of defensibility, there are rare occasions when I still feel cold and alone in a world that regards me with a suspicious and disgusted eye. Such is the case when I offer up the opinion that Italian science fiction films are "pretty good."

Winey is a junior communication major from Lafayette. She is a member of Phi Mu Fraternity and has been a freshman orientation leader in the Freshman Connection program.
She has been an announcer for the campus radio station KNWD-FM and received the Alpha Phi Alpha Rising Star Award. Winey was first runner up in the 2013 Miss Northwestern-Lady of the Bracelet Pageant.
"We will be looking to accomplish tangible goals," said Winey. "I want to make the SGA stronger. We will be working to recruit new senators who are passionate. Right now, SGA is running effectively, but we want to be open to new ideas about how we can do things better."
Winey plans to develop an app to allow students to vote on their cell phones. During the first week of class, the SGA will host of series of meetings to allow students to meet with SGA officers and leaders of registered student organizations.
Students can enjoy free banana splits from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Student Union Lobby Tuesday, Aug. 27. Registered student organization presidents will be at the Meet Your Presidents event Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 2-3 p.m. in the Student Union Ballroom.
"We want to find out what students are thinking and what they want to see done," Winey said.
A trip to Northwestern State as a senior in high school changed Winey's college plans.
"I came to a football game and everyone was so happy and smiling. It made me feel at home," Winey said.
"The thing that made a big impression on me was when I went to the concession stand to buy a funnel cake. The funnel cake cost $5 and I only had $3.
A man wearing a Northwestern shirt overheard me and said I'll give you the two dollars if you promise to come to Northwestern. I said sure and the next fall I was here."
Winey had been very involved in student organizations at high school, but she didn't continue that when she first got to Northwestern State.
"I didn't do anything my first semester, but then I joined the staff of the Current Sauce," Winey said. "That led to other organizations. I became a senator when I was a sophomore.
I went to meetings, asked questions and found I was good at conveying ideas and helping get things done. I became Student Affairs chair then started looking at what else I could do. I decided to run for president and was unopposed."
In addition to representing Northwestern State, Winey was chosen by SGA Presidents of the eight other University of Louisiana System institutions to chair the Council of Student Body Presidents.

GLOVER – Rep. Sam Young, who lives on the land his ancestors moved to just after the Civil War, is looking forward to serving the people of the Northeast Kingdom.
Young, a Democrat, has served the voters in the Orleans-Caledonia district for one term alongside Republican Vicki Strong in the two-member district.
"I like the work and I've learned a lot," said Young. Young said voters invested two years in him and it took him that long to get good at it. "If I spend two years of my life doing something, I want to get good at it."
DERBY – Derby is one of the top runners for the Pet Safe dog park contest and is teetering with one other town, Mountain House, CA, between first and second place.
Derby entered the contest last year and did not win, but did well competing against other towns with much larger populations. Now there is a per capita contest with a $25,000 winner.
COVENTRY – Resident Pedro Grondin met with the select board Tuesday evening in an attempt to get Coventry to start its own fire department.
Last month, select board chair Mike Marcotte and selectman Brad Maxwell met with the Newport City Council to see if there is interest in getting in a contract for fire coverage. As it is now, Coventry pays per call. A contract would mean Coventry pays a flat fee, which would make budgeting easier for fire coverage.
After a brief discussion, the Newport City Council gave the okay for representatives to start discussions.Â
KILLINGTON–"That was probably the most solid 18 holes of tournament golf I have played in quite a while."
That is what Matt Morin said of his first round at the Vermont State Amateur Championship on Tuesday.
The recent Lake Region graduate, along with Matt Stakus, shared the lead with a one under par 70 heading into Wednesday's 2nd round at the Green Mountain National Golf Course.
Said Morin of the keys to his success on Tuesday, "I did not make any big numbers.
"I was calm and cool on the course, I did not three-putt and I did not shoot anything higher than a bogey."
CASTLETON–The Vermont Softball Coaches Association, partnering with Castleton State College, gave the opportunity of a lifetime to thirty-six of the top softball players and coaches in the state when the group gathered for a weekend of softball at the North-South All-Star Series.
Catcher Chelsey Thibeault from Lake Region was the sole representative from Orleans County at the event.
The best of three series got underway on Friday as the players battled not only each other, but the gruelling heat as well.
The North swept the double-header, winning by the scores of 9-7 and 6-4.

I also think whoever write the caption has got their maths a bit wrong... 750,000 div 25 years is 82 TV spots EVERY DAY 365 days a year. Unlikely.
It's almost as kickass as Morgan Freeman's voice.
its sad that he died, whenevr i heard his voice on a movie trailer i kneew it was gonn be a gd movie
The only person i think can replace him would be michael winslow.

Volunteers needed for mock disaster training exercise
STUART - United Way of Martin County's Martin Volunteers program is conducting a mock disaster training exercise from 9 a.m. to noon July 27.
The purpose of the mock disaster training exercise, that takes place at the United Way office, 10 S.E. Central Parkway, Suite 101, Stuart, is to set up a volunteer reception center and walk through the steps of registering local or outside unaffiliated volunteers who are offering to help following a disaster.
This drill is intended to allow disaster volunteers to practice the process and also allows Martin Volunteers to identify where help is needed to enhance procedures.
If you are 18 years of age or older, interested in volunteering and available through hurricane season, contact Kathleen Stacey at 772-220-4472, ext. 225 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Martin Volunteers engages people of all ages and backgrounds in volunteer service that enriches the individual and strengthens the community and is funded in part by the Corporation for National and Community Service. For more information, visit http://MartinVolunteers.org.
