Locker searches easier under new Alpine District policy
Alpine School District students beware: It might soon be a bit easier for administrators to search your lockers.
The Alpine board on Tuesday night voted to approve revising the district's search and seizure policy. The revised policy now allows locker searches without students' presence anytime there is "reasonable suspicion" to do so, rather than just in specific situations and rather than for "reasonable cause."
The revised policy also no longer requires schools to notify parents if a student refuses a search, though parents will have to be alerted if a student's locker is searched in the student's presence.
The board voted 6-1 in favor of the changes, with Brian Halladay voting against them. At an earlier meeting, Halladay had expressed concerns about whether the changes were in line with the Fourth Amendment, which protects Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures.
All Utah school districts are required to have policies for searching students for drugs and weapons. Those policies must also "ensure protection of individual student rights against excessive and unreasonable intrusion," according to state rule.
It's common for policies to allow locker searches at any time, as lockers are school property. Districts, however, vary a bit on how specific their policies are when it comes to contacting parents, involving students and searching students' other belongings.

Ex-Aggie Anthony Calvillo retires after 20-year CFL career
Montreal • Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo announced Tuesday that he is retiring following 20 memorable seasons in the CFL, closing one of the greatest careers in all of professional football.
The longtime face of the franchise and five-time CFL All-Star was named the CFL's Most Outstanding Player on three separate occasions over the course of his career and holds league records of 79,816 passing yards, 455 touchdown passes, 5,892 completions and 9,437 pass attempts.
"It has been quite a ride! As a kid growing up in California, I never thought that it would be possible to play professional football for 20 years in a country and a city that I knew nothing of," Calvillo said in a statement. "I will forever be thankful to our owner Bob Wetenhall and General Manager Jim Popp for allowing this franchise to have all the success that we have had over the years. The city of Montreal and all the great Alouettes fans across the Province of Quebec have embraced me and that feeling is mutual."
Calvillo, who played for Utah State, broke into the CFL with the Las Vegas Posse in 1994 and spent the following three seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before rising to stardom after joining the Alouettes in 1998. Serving as quarterback Tracy Ham's understudy for two seasons, Calvillo took over as the starting quarterback in 2000 on his way to winning three Grey Cups with Montreal in 2002, 2009, and in 2010. He was also named the 2002 Grey Cup Most Outstanding Player.
"My family has been privileged to be associated with Anthony over all these years," said Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall. "We wish him well and are looking ahead to our continuing engagement."
Calvillo, who was presented with the Key to the City at the end of the 2011 season, led the Alouettes to eight Grey Cup appearances and owns several championship records for most pass completions (179), passing yards (2,470) and touchdown passes thrown.

|Utility of the lateral chest radiograph in the evaluation of patients with a positive tuberculin skin test result.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14605055 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|STUDY OBJECTIVES: In the United States, chest radiographs are performed on patients with positive tuberculin skin test (TST) results. It is not known whether, in addition to a single posteroanterior radiograph, a lateral chest radiograph is clinically indicated or cost-effective. We sought to determine the utility of the lateral chest radiograph in evaluating TST-positive adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Tertiary-care hospital. PATIENTS: Adults with positive TST results. MEASUREMENTS: Findings on posteroanterior radiographs alone were compared to posteroanterior and lateral chest radiographs. RESULTS: In 2 of 535 cases (0.4%), lateral chest radiographs revealed a calcified granuloma not visible on posteroanterior radiographs. This finding did not alter patient management. In all other cases, lateral radiographs only confirmed findings seen on posteroanterior chest radiographs. CONCLUSION: Treatment altering findings were always visible on posteroanterior radiographs alone. These results suggest that lateral chest radiographs are not useful in evaluating adults with positive TST results.

Water in the Tularosa Basin is a hot topic of many discussions in the region.
At the Capital Outlay Legislative hearing Friday in Alamogordo, water again was a driving force behind many Otero County communities seeking funding for projects.
No surprise there, right?
On the city of Alamogordo's wish list: Funding for its desalination facility; reclaimed water distribution and storage; Bonito Lake projects; its existing wastewater treatment facility and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance.
Cloudcroft made its pitch for a wastewater reuse project and funding for restoring an historic school building, and La Luz and Timberon are also seeking funding for water-related projects.
Tularosa, the lone community with no water-related funding request, seeks to build a half-city block plaza.
Alamogordo, which put ADA compliance at the top of its funding list, is seeking $300,000 for facilities such as parks, schools, businesses, etc. The total estimated cost of the project is roughly $2.6 million.
For the desalination facility, Alamogordo is seeking roughly $1.7 million for its permanent phase 1 portion of the project. And for Bonito Lake restoration, the city is currently seeking $2.475 million and $3 million to upgrade its current wastewater treatment facility. For reclaimed water distribution and storage, the city wants $243,000 to upgrade some of its infrastructure, water lines, etc.
"We run out of reclaimed water in the summer," Alamogordo mayor Susie Galea said, adding that the storage facility would help keep the parks green.
Alamogordo didn't ask for any capital improvement funds from the state last year and didn't receive any as well, Galea said.
In Cloudcroft, the PURE Wastewater Reuse Project sits atop its to-do list.
Cloudcroft mayor Dave Venable said water is always the number one issue in the West and his village's project is extremely important.
The project (PWRP) would treat wastewater to drinking water quality and blend it with local natural water sources. It would then be distributed to the village through its existing potable water distribution system. The village is seeking around $1 million for the project.
Venable said the red-brick school, next to the high school, is on the state's registry for historic buildings.
"We are hoping to get this funding," Venable said, adding that the village is seeking around $390,000 for the school building restoration project.
In Tularosa, the village is seeking funding for a plaza, across the street from the Tularosa police station, on St. Francis Drive. Tularosa mayor Ray Cordova said he doesn't have an exact dollar amount for funding, but the low end would be around $300,000 and the high end at around $800,000.
In La Luz, a wastewater treatment plant and its water distribution system were the two projects presented Friday.
It is seeking roughly $1.867 million for the plant and about $1.965 million for the water distribution system.
Timberon's wish list: Funding for three grants, including a water tank, water monitoring system and rewiring its maintenance shop. Preliminary cost for the three projects is roughly $350,000.

Step by Step to Apply For Medical Assistant Certification
September 15, 2011 by admin
Filed under Medical & Healthcare Jobs
Everyone can be a general practitioner! Anybody can practice medicine or treat a patient to improve the quality of life, according to Robin Williams in his movie "Patch Adams". Welcoming those in need, caring for those in pain, applying a cold cloth to those who have fever, and listening to people in sorrow are simple ways of treating patients. Remember the old saying, laughter is the best medicine? Like so a funny clown can also be considered one fine doctor! But what makes a professional surgeon so different? A professional general practitioner had a formal education in medicine and had passed the medical licensure exam. Same with the Certified Medical Assistant. A person must first graduate from an accredited medical assisting program and pass the CMA Certification Test.
The CMA (AAMA) is the highest standard in the medical assisting job. It is a prestigious deed and a professional advantage for a better job security. If you have decided to be certified, follow the steps below:
Check if you are qualified to take the exam.
Sign up and graduate in an accredited medical assisting school or curriculum. The Department of Education makes certain that educational standards are met by Medical Assisting Schools and Programs by means of accreditation agencies such as the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Enrolling in recognized schools and program courses will make you qualified applicant to take the exam.
You may check the directory of accredited schools and programs through the website of the Accredited Post-secondary Institutions and Programs of the Department of Education at http://Ope.Ed.Gov/accreditation/search.Aspx.
Furthermore, go to the succeeding website for other details and important facts: Http://Www.Aama-ntl.Org/medassisting/caahep_prgs.Aspx to know which Medical Assisting schools and programs are credited by CAAHEP and ABHES.
1. Apply for the CMA test.
Fill out the form, submit the necessary requirements and pay the exam fee.
Within 30days, the Certification Department will be mailed to notify you about the status of your application. If you did not get any notification within that period, kindly contact the Certification Division at email@example.com or through their telephone 800/228-2262.
2. Register your CMA examination appointment
Approximately 3 weeks before your test start date, you will get the scheduling permit with directives on how to set an appointment at the Prometric test center near you. Set your appointment date to any day that is convenient for you.
3. Prepare and study for the test.
Study hard before the examination. Get familiarized with the latest clinical and administrative procedures; physiology and anatomy; medical terms; medico legal policy and directions; and laboratory procedures through the present medical assisting newscast and publications.
Prepare by taking practice exam. Measure your scores and level of understanding regarding the course outline.
Sign up at a CMA Exam review course by an AAMA local chapter or an accredited medical assisting program.
4. Pass the Test.
An official certificate will be given to you, once you passed the test. You can now add your CMA Certification as part of your credentials in your resume. Visit the AAMA website to check the status of your certification.
5. Update your CMA (AAMA) Credentials.
Every 60 months, you will have to recertify your credentials through continued education or test. Check the latest recertification requirements for more details.
It is important to become a certified medical assistant for the reason that a the title guarantees the competency of a medical assistant. It also makes you one powerful and competitive applicant.

|TIBA: A Tool for Phylogeny Inference from Rearrangement Data with Bootstrap Analysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23060619 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|SUMMARY: TIBA is a tool to reconstruct phylogenetic trees from rearragement data which consists of ordered lists of synteny blocks (or genes) where each synteny block is shared with all of its homologs in the input genomes. The evolution of these synteny blocks, through rearrangement operations, is modeled by the uniform Double-Cut-and-Join model. Using a true distance estimate under this model and simple distance based methods TIBA reconstructs a phylogeny of the input genomes. Unlike any previous tool for inferring phylogenies from rearrangement data, TIBA uses novel methods of robustness estimation to provide support values for the edges in the inferred tree.

Buying and Using a pH Meter for Food Processing – MyronLMeters.com
What is pH and why do I need to measure it?
pH measures the amount of acidity or alkalinity in a food or solution using a numerical scale between 1 and 14. A pH value of 1 is most acidic, a pH value of 7 is neutral, and values above 7 are referred to as basic or alkaline. Acidified foods have a pH value less than or equal to 4.6. The proper pH of a canned food product can be critical to ensuring the safety of the product. It is very important that pH testing be done correctly and accurately.
How is pH measured?
If you process acidified foods, you will be required to monitor the pH of the product that you produce. Depending on the pH of the product, you may be able to use paper pH strips (often referred to as litmus paper), or required to use a pH meter. Paper strips that measure pH rely on a color change in the paper to indicate product pH. Paper strips can be used to measure pH if the product pH is less than 4.0. Paper strips are an inexpensive way to test pH, but can be inaccurate or difficult to read. A pH meter measures the amount of hydrogen-ion (acid) in solution using a glass electrode immersed in the solution. A pH meter must be used when product pH is greater than, or equal to, 4.0. If you are canning acidified foods, accurately monitoring and recording the product pH is key to knowing that you are selling a safe product.
What is equilibrium pH?
Equilibrium pH is the pH of a food product after the added acid has reached throughout the food; the pH of the acid brine and the food that have equilibrated. When you monitor pH as part of process monitoring, it is the equilibrium pH that you are measuring. For a proper pH reading, you should test the pH of the product roughly 24 hours after processing, once the jars have cooled to room temperature and stabilized. Do not take the pH of a product just before or right after canning because it will not be an accurate measure of the equilibrium pH.
What should I look for if I need to purchase a pH meter?
If you are required to check your product pH with a meter, there are several things to consider.
Accuracy. Accuracy is listed as a range of +0.XX pH units. This means that the meter may read so many pH units above or below the actual pH of the product. Purchase a pH meter with an accuracy of +0.02 units or better. For instance, a pH meter with an accuracy of
+0.01 is a good choice. A pH meter with an accuracy of +0.10 is not a good choice, it is not accurate enough for all products.
All pH meters must be calibrated (checked against a known standard) to assure accuracy. Standards are colored liquids of known pH. Buy a meter that uses at least a 2-point calibration; for acidified foods you will calibrate your meter with pH 4.0 and 7.0 buffers.
Electrode. The electrode is the part of the instrument that is immersed in solution. When considering which pH meter to purchase, consider the cost of replacement electrodes. Some electrodes have special non-clog tips and these may be useful is you will be measuring the pH of foods that are not easily blended.
Temperature. pH readings are affected by temperature. In order to get an accurate reading, the pH meter must be calibrated at the same temperature as the samples being tested. More expensive meters will compensate for variations in sample temperature (too warm or too cold). Myron L meters have automatic temperature compensation. If you can afford a meter with this feature, it's nice to have.
What should I buy?
The cost of a pH meter ranges from under $100 to well over $500. As a starting point, there are several styles that small food and beverage processors currently use.
Testing the Equilibrium pH of an Acidified Food Product
1. Open one jar and take a representative sample of your food product once it has cooled, usually 12 to 24 hours after processing. You should sample each batch. Heating will drive the acid into your food product; sampling after processing (and cooling) will give you an accurate reading of the equilibrium pH.
2. Strain the solids, draining out the liquid (brine) from the jar. Place the strained solids into a blender.
3. Blend the product, adding distilled water if necessary, to produce a slurry. Added distilled water will not change the pH of the product and will allow for effective blending. You can purchase distilled water at many grocery stores or drug stores.
4. Use a calibrated pH meter to measure pH.
The pH meter must be calibrated using at least 2-point calibration with pH 4.0 and 7.0 buffers. Myron L Meters recommends a three point calibration.
The pH meter must be calibrated each day that you use it. A pH meter must be used to monitor the pH of foods with an equilibrium pH greater than 4.0.
5. Record the results in your batch log.

processing industry.

What do I love more than North Dakota in general? Supporting local business owners in North Dakota. This morning a friend and I made a trip over to the Fargo Civic Center to partake in what we thought would be a small craft show featuring all North Dakota made products. You may have seen some of these products floating around in stores before. They all have a label that says "Pride of Dakota" on them (see giant image on the right). When we arrived, we were shocked. This was anything but a small craft show. Hundreds… or maybe thousands… of people had the same idea for their Saturday morning as we did.
We were there for a little over two hours, wandering through rows of vendors, admiring their crafts and jewelry, sampling food (I think I ate my weight in samples… especially every type of dip, mustard, and wine), and much much more. And while it was crowded, everyone kept their Midwestern charm and did not shove or push to get at their sample of cheese soup or bison sausage (ok, I really enjoyed the samples). As I began filling my reusable tote with goodies, I was surrounded by smells of potpourri, candles, and lefse, with the occasional, "Oh, for cute!" ringing in my ear.
As I munch on one of my purchases (Dot's Homestyle Pretzels… yum!), I can't help but reflect on how enjoyable my morning venture actually was and how wonderful it is that an entire state has come together to support local businesses. From what I gather, the Pride of Dakota organization is even sponsored by the North Dakota State government. You can learn more about the organization here: Pride of Dakota.
Though I had every intention of coming away from the event with my Christmas shopping done, I unfortunately spent more money filling my own belly than filling the stockings of any member of my family. Whoops. Maybe I'll just have to go back tomorrow.

Well, it's ten years late, but I saw the Postal Service perform last night, and it was everything I hoped for. They even got Jenny Lewis to perform with them! And Big Freedia opened for them! And Postal Service came out and twerked! Never thought I'd utter those words!
DavidMcRae asked:
how happy are you for blizzard to add scifi elements to the game? and where would u feel comfortable setting limits to it?
WoW is already basically a sci-fi game. It's the highest of high fantasy. Burning Crusade had spaceships, for Pete's sake. Setting BC as WoW's sci-fi upper limit seems to have worked just fine so far.
Dobablo asked:
Should transmog be banned in PvP? Doing so could allow PvE people mog how they like?
Blizzard abandoned the idea that PvP silhouettes were important long ago, so I don't see any reason why they'd go back on it now. Besides, the way that gear works now, it's not like seeing what gear someone is actually wearing carries some huge disadvantage. You know your opponent is likely wearing the same PvP gear everyone else is wearing, with the same advantages and disadvantages.
Aubrey asked:
Do you think Draenei have fur? I've seen various...pictures of them, and some treat them like they have fine fur, others treat it more like regular skin that just happens to end in a hoof. I've never seen anything lorewise that says either way, but I know Trolls are in the same boat as they're said to have fine fur but most people don't know/depict them with it.
Some official art depicts them with fine fur on the legs, but I think they're probably mostly like humans -- a little fuzz here and there, more on guys than gals, and more on the legs for sure.
Shiny164 asked:
When gear is scaled down, is each piece scaled individually, or the whole set together?
For example, if I was in half 450 gear and half 496 gear, and it was scaled down to 463, which of the following would I end up with?
(450+463)/2 = 456.5
min(((450+496)/2), 463) = min(473,463) = 463
The first one; otherwise, your 450 gear is scaling up!

I can add multiple values for a field (say, "multitest" for example), making it a keyword field to bypass parsing and analysis.
Aside from the minor complication that
from the document returns only the most recently added value, are there any other problems with adding several different values for the same keyword field?

WARWICK, TEXAS. Warwick was at one time a rail siding on the Southern Pacific Railroad nine miles east of Marathon in northeastern Brewster County. It was apparently established when the railroad was built through the area in 1882. Warwick had a rural school just north of the rail siding. The school was established to serve the children of a number of families who had settled in the area to attempt dry-land farming on small acreages. After 1916 the Warwick school was also known as the Pumpkin Center school when a similar farming community several miles to the north, Pumpkin Center, failed and the school there was closed. In 1919 the Warwick community also failed and its school closed. The Warwick rail siding was apparently still in use as late as the early 1970s. Today, however, it has been abandoned by the Southern Pacific.

Diatoms Morphology
or What Do They Look Like?
The Valves
Diatom cell walls are made up of two distinct halves, or valves. The older, larger valve is called the epivalve, and the smaller, younger valve is the hypotheca. Primitively, each valve is shaped like a cylinder, with the open end of the hypovalve facing and inside the open end of the epivalve. The two valves are connected by a girdle region, which often lacks areolae, and raised intercalary bands. These features are often visible in edge-on (girdle) views.
Diatom tests often bear one or more spines, setae, or other projections. The setae are quite dramatic as they may be many times longer than the diameter of the cell. Test projections influence positioning of diatoms vertically in the water column by increasing drag.
For the diatomologist, test projections are one easy-to-see way
of distinguishing different types!
Diatom valves, or tests, are punctuated with areolae, numerous 0.1 - 0.6 micron hexagonal holes. Areolae are thought to be necessary for the cell to obtain nutrients and dissolved gasses such as CO2 from the seawater, since a solid silica sheet would be impermeable to molecules and ions. Many tests also have sub-areolar structure visible only in electron microscopes. The porous nature of diatomaceous earth is the key to its suitability as a fluid filter and an insulator and for other industrial uses.
Areolae are arranged in very
attractive, regular patterns. The beauty of diatom tests, at least
partially due to the areolar patterns, has attracted microscopists
for over two hundred years, and continues to attract them in the era
of the electron microscope.
Some species of both central and pennate diatoms assemble into colonies. The individuals may be connected by their valve faces, edge-on, or interlaced with setae with the valves scarcely touching.

The people there seem nice enough, but from my own experience as well as what I have heard from others, you really get what you pay for. The use of cheap parts have made me rethink bringing my vehicle there. If you want to repair the same problem 3 times before the fix seems to stick take it to Mike's. If you want it done right the first time, avoid.
I was recommended by a friend to take my car to Mike's Auto Clinic. At the time I was a single woman. I was very skeptical about whom to trust with my car. I was greeted with a smile and what I thought was going to be an astronomical bill turned out to be me just needed a new battery. I would have paid for more (being gullible and naive about the needs of my car), however, the shop was honest with me. I have used them ever since and never had a complaint. Finally, I found a shop for life!

Uuuugggghhhh! Thanks to a busy end of year and tax season, picked up my knitting needles for the first time since Thanksgiving! I can't believe it has been so long.
I wanted to share a few pictures with you all. I bought this simple canvas messenger bag at a local festival to carry around all of my purchases of the day.
Is anyone else planning on attending the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival?
It's been a while since I've seen updates on how everyone is doing on their clogs, stockings, or boxers. Anyone feel like posting and show us their work?
My hubby doubted my clogs would turn into much before I felted them. Then I caught him trying them on one day and suddenly he was asking me to knit him a pair.
I am doing a little browsing on Etsy today and ran across a project bag that I thought would bring a few smiles to everyone here:
Hey guys, I myself have an iPhone as do several of my friends. One of them never has a case on her phone and just tosses it in her purse.
I always "struggle" with increases. When a pattern calls for Inc. as to k unless otherwise specified, what way of increasing do I use?
3/23/10 - Update for you all, I added photos of the pattern book and the yarn I have chosen for my sampler afghan. I think it is going to be a lot of fun and a lot of learning!
I felted them today and I love how they turned out! I so can't wait for them to dry!
Here are a couple of pictures from the felted project.

In the same way, the folks in the seceeding states, rightly or wrongly (opinions vary!) had decided in their own minds that the bond was broken and they had the same rights of declaring their independence from Washington as their grandfathers had in declaring thier independence from London.
I'd amend that to "some of the folks." And the "same rights" were and could still be the natural rights of rebellion.
I'm of a mind that the Declaration had no force of Law. Apparently, Lincoln held it to be of greater importance than I. (He was a much deeper thinker and vastly better informed.)
In any case, Ed has tapped the essence of Southern justification for breaking away: the secesh had determined that their "oppression" justified dissolving the bonds.
With that observation, we can't go much further and remain on the topic of the DoI. State soverignty? The DoI declared independence of free, soverign and independent states yet, to a degree, the colonies agreed to a Continental Congress to monitor and coordinate the efforts of each state during the Rebellion.
When England caved, the "independent" colonies agreed to re-form with the Articles of Confederation. Finding that these were inadequate to ensure a national unity, the Constitution was created in which each state gave up a bit more of its soverignty.
And now I'm off topic and at a loss as to how to keep the discussion focused on the DoI. So I'll back out, hoping others can find a way.
