combinations in an intensely hostile region could have but one result; since the enemy were probably twice as strong, both in defenses and in men, as they would have been found had our advance been made with compact celerity.
Secessionville is a petty village formed of the Summer residences of a few James island planters, on the east side of their island, two miles from the Stono, with salt water on three sides, and swamps narrowing to a mere ride the only practicable land approach from the west.
Pemberton was in chief command at Chlarleston, Brig.-Gen. N. G. Evans having direction under him in this quarter; but Col. J. G. Lamar was in immediate charge of the works; against which Gen. H. G. Wright advanced at early dawn,1 with a force of perhaps 6,000 men, though some 1,500 more were on the island,

Bee Propolis supplement questions
Q. I want to increase my energy and would like to take a bee propolis supplement a few days a week. Is it okay to take additional energy boosters such as ginseng, maca, etc? I also take MultiVit Rx a few days a week and find it gives me a sense of natural wellbeing and vitality.
A. We suggest learning how each supplement works by itself for your body chemistry before mixing them. First learn how a bee propolis supplement makes you feel with one or two capsules. Then learn how MultiVit Rx, ginseng, or maca make you feel when taken alone. Once you learn how you react to each product or herb, then you will have a better understanding whether the combination is appropriate for you.
Q. Is it okay to take a bee propolis supplement daily for many months or years?
A. Long term human studies with bee propolis supplements are not available, hence it is a good idea to take 2 days off a week and a week off each month.
Buy propolis supplement on sale today. If you buy a bee propolis supplement along with a bee pollen supplement or royal jelly supplement, try them alone for a few days before taking them together.

San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) officials launched new low-floor trolley service on the MTS's Orange Line, commemorating the completion of a $17 million renovation of Orange Line Stations. The ceremony was held at the Euclid Avenue Transit Center in San Diego."This is important because we are bringing a new and higher standard of service to the people along the Orange Line," said MTS Chairman Harry Mathis. "New station amenities and low-floor cars will enhance the transit experience, making trips faster, more timely and more convenient and comfortable."The work is part of the $720 million Trolley Renewal project that is rebuilding all stations from Old Town to San Ysidro and from La Mesa to downtown San Diego. It also includes $271 million to purchase 65 new low-floor vehicles from Siemens, which is located in Sacramento.The first segment of the Orange Line to Euclid Avenue was built in 1986. Subsequent extensions to La Mesa and El Cajon were opened in 1989. The last leg to Santee was completed in 1995. The Orange Line project included renovating nine stations, as well as train signaling and grade-crossings improvements. Station platforms have been resurfaced, new shelters installed and fiber optic communication systems added, including next-arrival electronic signs and surveillance cameras.With work winding down on Orange Line stations, the Trolley Renewal project will move to Blue Line stations. Work is scheduled to begin in April of this year to totally rebuild Trolley stations and transit centers from downtown to the border.
Work will include renovating the trolley station platforms, improving bus facilities and the ease of transferring between bus and trolley services. Completion is scheduled for late 2014.The overhead electrical wire for the Blue Line has already been replaced and work is underway to add cross-over tracks that will enhance operational flexibility in the future.The Trolley Renewal project is funded by a combination of local TransNet sales tax, state bonds and federal dollars.
The grants, which will be selected by the FRA and awarded and administered by the FTA, will help commuter railroads implement PTC, which prevents accidents and saves lives.
The project, which starts next week, will utilize Hyperloop Transportation Technologies crowdsourcing and community collaboration, while implementations will be financed by Deutsche Bahn.
A group argues that the flawed data suggested the move would not have an overly burdensome effect on low-income and minority riders and that it should have taken steps to curb those impacts before ending the service in March.
During the investigation, it was determined that the man was laying on his back in the middle of the inbound side of a track on the south side, when a northbound train came down the track because the system was running on a single track.
Will emphasize beautiful travel photography and long-form journalism to cast itself as an upscale brand and replace its current magazine, "Arrive," which is more focused on celebrities, what's-on content and regional destinations.

There are many factors buyers should take into account when deciding which projector to buy, including resolution, brightness, weight and size, connectivity and, most importantly, price. But, a recent study conducted by the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at the Rochester Institute of Technology - commissioned by Texas Instruments (TI) - revealed that projectors featuring DLP (digital light processing) technology deliver out-of-the-box image quality for many thousands of hours. By contrast, the picture quality delivered by projectors using LCD technology degrades both measurably and visibly - so much so that the projector is rendered virtually unusable over time. TI's scientists have concluded that this degradation is caused by long-term exposure of the organic materials used in LCD technology to blue and ultraviolet light.
The impact of this is clear: projectors based on LCD technology will need to be replaced more frequently than projectors featuring DLP technology, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership for the latter. However, the cost savings is only one of the many advantages of DLP projectors. The higher contrast and minimal pixellation of DLP technology delivers superior image quality, especially in video applications. The technology's digital nature means that it is inherently more reliable and more capable of faithful image reproduction. And its single-panel architecture results in projectors that are smaller and lighter, making them more portable and flexible.
School systems today are struggling to make the most out of ever-shrinking budgets by making sound investments in equipment. When purchasing a projector, it's still important to compare features such as resolution, brightness and weight. But keep in mind that in the end, it is a projector's reliability that will provide the greatest return on your investment. For more information about TI's DLP technology, visit www.dlp.com.

A number of emailers, not all necessarily friendly, have asked if I intend to post today after the U.S.-Ghana game. In fact, I don't intend to comment, no matter what the outcome. To achieve this goal, I intend to avoid listening to or reading anything about the game from the U.S. media.
One emailer, Nathan, wrote:
I'm actually having a little bit of an existential crisis with this US-Ghana match – I really appreciate the Ghana team and two of my most fantastic colleagues are Ghanaian. I'll have to muster every little ounce of fleeting nationalistic sentiment I posses to cheer for team USA.
I suggested he watch the game on ESPN. That experience will drive even the most die-hard American fans into Ghana's camp.

How pro-oil Louisiana politicians have shaped American environmental policy
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

1. Technical Field of the Invention
This invention lies in the field of seismic transducers and particularly velocity- and acceleration-sensitive instruments.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
The geophysical industry, in the conduct of land seismic surveys for oil, has generally used geophones whose electrical outputs are representative of particle velocity.
Geophones as provided by suppliers of such instruments are characterized by a fixed natural or resonant frequency and are damped by a prescribed fraction of critical damping. If the geophysicist desired to resurvey a particular area using geophones having a different natural frequency, such as for the purpose of better noise cancellation or for high resolution studies, he was obliged to buy a complete new set of geophones. He had no means for altering the characteristics of his geophones. That is, the geophysicist had no convenient means for changing, in the field, the response characteristics of a given geophone.
There are of course, advantages to the use of velocity geophones such as their relatively low electrical impedance and relatively high output signal. But there are also certain disadvantages to use of a geophone such as the inflexibility of its characteristic parameters and the mechanical delicacy of the sensing element, a spring-suspended moving coil. In an actual exploration project, the geophysicist must not only carry an inventory of replacement geophones, but he may also be obliged to maintain two or three complete sets of geophones, each set having a different natural frequency with a different damping coefficient.
Recently, the use of accelerometers in place of geophones has received considerable interest. There are several advantages in the use of an accelerometer in place of a geophone: The accelerometer has a better response to higher seismic frequencies; for mechanical reasons, an accelerometer is believed to couple more efficiently to the ground; an accelerometer may be made less complex mechanically and electrically and is more rugged than is a geophone and accordingly can be considerably less expensive. An undamped accelerometer, used at frequencies below its natural frequency, has substantially no phase distortion. Finally, an accelerometer is a flexible instrument in that it can be used either as an accelerometer as such, or it can be easily tuned to match its output to the output response of any desired geophone, thereby serving as a multi-purpose seismic transducer.
If accelerometers are to replace geophones in seismic exploration, particularly in areas that were previously surveyed exclusively by use of geophones, the accelerometer output response characteristic, that is, its transfer function, must be capable of being modified to match the output or transfer function that is inherent to a selected geophone.
At first glance, it might be thought that the obvious approach entailing forming the time integral of the accelerometer output signal would yield the desired velocity signal as generated by a geophone since acceleration is the first time derivative of velocity. See for example Pavey, U.S. Pat. No. 3,281,768 or Sykes, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,320,580 and 3,320,582. As will be seen below however, simple integration of the signal, as by an RC circuit, is not sufficient.
A seismic transducer, be it a geophone or an accelerometer, is a spring-mass system. Since the transducer is an oscillating system, it has a natural frequency. The natural frequency is defined to be that frequency at which the undamped system will oscillate when excited by a step function. At the natural or resonant frequency, an ideal frictionless system would theoretically oscillate forever at a fixed amplitude in response to a transient impulse. However, any real-world system includes some frictional or other energy-dissipative forces which tend to decrease or damp the amplitude of oscillation. Critical damping is the minimum damping required to prevent an excited system from oscillating. Generally, except for special applications, the damping force is some substantial fraction of critical.
Any spring-mass system, when operated above the natural frequency, measures displacement. When provided with a velocity-sensing device such as a coil of wire, mounted on the mass and arranged to cut a magnetic field, the system output signal is representative of particle velocity. The same spring-mass system, when operated well below its natural frequency, produces an output that is representative of particle acceleration.
In seismic exploration, geophones are of the well-known moving coil type; thus, their output signal is representative of particle velocity. Their natural frequency is usually in the range of 8-20 Hz and the damping coefficient is often set between 50% and 70% of critical damping. Above the natural frequency and for a velocity input of constant amplitude in the useful seismic frequency band, the geophone output response is substantially constant with increasing frequency. Below the natural frequency, lower frequencies are attenuated 12 dB per octave. Of the 12 dB attenuation, 6 dB may be attributed to the geophone acting as an accelerometer; the additional 6 dB attenuation results from the electrical response of the coil-mass moving in the magnetic field. The geophone output is nominally 90 degrees out of phase with the disturbing force but the phase response is non-linear up to about three times the natural frequency. Because of the non-linear phase response, for each component of a complex wave form there is a different phase angle between the actual driving force and the geophone output signal. Because the phase angles are not proportional to frequency, the combined pattern of the output signals is different from the combined signal pattern of the actual driving force.
As used in exploration work, an accelerometer consists of an inertial mass acting against or applying pressure to a piezo-electric crystal. The accelerometer is undamped and, because the crystal acts as a stiff spring, the natural frequency may be on the order of 600-700 Hz. The useful seismic frequency band lies well below the natural frequency of such an accelerometer. To a reasonable degree of accuracy the output of the accelerometer is 180 degrees out of phase with the driving force and, within the useful seismic frequency band, below the natural frequency of the accelerometer, the output signal suffers substantially no phase distortion. The attenuation rate vs frequency of the accelerometer output, when driven by a velocity source of constant amplitude, rises at a rate of 6 dB per octave over its useful range.
Piezo-electric hydrophones commonly used in seismic exploration at sea are sensitive to pressure changes in exactly the same way that the crystal in an accelerometer is sensitive to the pressure of an inertia mass. Accordingly, insofar as this invention is concerned, the response of a hydrophone is effectively the same as the response of an accelerometer.
To summarize the above discussion, it can be understood that the apparently obvious solution of simple integration of an accelerometer output will not yield a transfer function that will match the inherent transfer function of a selected geophone for the following reasons: First, the attenuation rate of the accelerometer, below the natural frequency of an exemplary geophone, is 6 dB per octave whereas the attenuation rate of the exemplary geophone itself is 12 dB per octave. Second, above the natural exemplary geophone frequency, the accelerometer output increases with frequency at the rate of 6 dB per octave whereas the geophone response in the same frequency band is substantially constant. Third, because of the non-linear geophone phase distortion, the pattern of signals derived from a geophone does not readily correlate with the pattern of integrated accelerometer signals at frequencies in the useful seismic band.
A more thorough theoretical treatment of seismic transducers may be found in chapter 12 of "Shock and Vibration Handbook" second edition, by C. M. Harris and C. E. Crede, McGraw Hill Book Co., New York, N.Y.
From the above discussion it will be appreciated that prior art accelerometers presently available cannot readily be substituted for geophones simply by integrating the accelerometer output signal.
It is an object of this invention to provide a multi-purpose seismic transducer whose output signal response characteristic or transfer function can be shaped to duplicate the transfer function inherent to any other desired seismic sensor. It is a further object of this invention to provide a multi-purpose seismic transducer whose response characteristics may be changed in the field at will.
In an embodiment of this invention, the transfer function of a first seismic sensor having a first transfer function is shaped to match the response of a second seismic sensor having a second transfer function.
In an aspect of this invention, a transfer-function shaping filter is provided. The center frequency of the shaping filter is centered at the natural frequency of a selected seismic sensor whose transfer function is to be matched. Filter parameters are designed to match the damping coefficient and phase response of the selected seismic sensor.
In another aspect of this invention, the filter parameters are selectively adjustable to match the transfer characteristics of any desired seismic sensor.
In yet another aspect of this invention the first seismic sensor is an accelerometer and the second seismic sensor is a geophone.
In a further aspect of this invention, the first seismic sensor is a hydrophone and the second seismic sensor is a geophone.
FIG. 1 is an idealized view of a seismic survey operation,
FIG. 2 illustrates schematically the construction of a multi-purpose seismic transducer;
FIG. 3 illustrates the response characteristics of a geophone, an accelerometer and a geophone-matching filter;
FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of one type of transfer-function shaping filter; and
FIG. 5 shows a shaping-filter module plugged into a string of accelerometers.
FIG. 6 shows a contiguous land and marine survey.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a plurality of multi-purpose seismic transducers 10, 10', 10", 10'" are laid upon the ground 12 at different locations. The transducers are connected to recording instruments 14 mounted on a truck 16 by a multiconductor cable 18. A source of acoustic energy such as a dynamite charge 20, buried in a bore hole 22, emits acoustic waves 24. The acoustic waves propagate through the earth to a reflecting layer 26 and are reflected therefrom to seismic transducers 10-10'". The reflected acoustic waves generate constant amplitude particle motion at the earth's surface 12. Although single units are shown, it is customary to emplace a "string" or array of several such transducers at each location. The several transducers are interconnected so as to generate seismic signals for a single data channel.
A typical multi-purpose transducer 10 is illustrated schematically in FIG. 2. The complete transducer assembly consists of a case 9 resting on the ground 12. Inside case 9 is mounted a seismic sensor such as a piezo-electric accelerometer 13. In a preferred embodiment, the accelerometer consists of a container having a pair of piezo-electric ceramic disks mounted at opposite ends of the container. The container is nearly filled with a fluid inertia mass, such as mercury, which is in mechanical contact with the disks. In response to particle motion of the ground 12, the ceramic disks, pressing against the inertial mass, generate electrical signals proportional to particle acceleration. The preferred accelerometer is described in detail in my copending application Ser. No. 905,491, filed May 12, 1978 and assigned to the assignee of this invention. In addition to accelerometer 13 the multi-purpose transducer 10 includes a transfer-function-shaping element 11 that is connected to accelerometer 13 by leads 15. The output of the transfer-function shaping element 11 is connected to a pair of conductors in multiconductor cable 18. Transfer-function shaping element 11 may be a filter network, to be described later in connection with FIG. 4, for adjustably matching the output response characteristics of accelerometer 13 to the output response characteristic of a seismic sensor having a different transfer function such as a geophone. Of course, the filter can be switched out if multi-purpose transducer 10 is to be employed only as an accelerometer.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the amplitude response functions of a selected geophone, an accelerometer and the required transfer-function shaping element. The vertical scale is marked in decibels (dB) above or below an arbitrary reference voltage. The horizontal scale is marked off in frequency in Hz (cycles per second).
Curve 30 represents the output for a geophone having a natural frequency of 10 Hz, damped 70% of critical damping. Below about 10 Hz the attenuation rate is 12 dB per octave. Rapid attenuation of lower frequencies is often desirable because certain low frequency surface waves wreak havoc upon the seismic recordings. Above 10 Hz, the geophone output is substantially constant with frequency. The geophone curve is typical of commerical instruments on the market such as the LRS-1000 geophone, made by Litton Resources Systems of Houston, Tex.
Curve 32 illustrates the response characteristics of a preferred accelerometer. This particular accelerometer is undamped and has a natural frequency of about 650 Hz. Below about 300 Hz, the attenuation rate is 6 dB per octave. Frequencies above about 300 Hz are not of interest in this example and may be filtered out by conventional low-pass filters in the recording instruments. The accelerometer was driven by a velocity source of constant amplitude. Velocity of constant amplitude means that the velocity is represented by a sinusoid whose amplitude is the same for all frequencies in the specific range of frequencies.
Curve 34 shows the response characteristics of a band-pass filter that is required to shape the accelerometer curve 32 to match geophone curve 30. The filter is an active filter having a center frequency of 10 Hz, a gain of about +10 dB and an attenuation rate of 6 dB per octave on each side of the center frequency. The 6 dB attenuation rate below 10 Hz adds to the corresponding 6 dB attenuation rate of the accelerometer. The 6 dB attenuation rate above 10 Hz, just compensates for the 6 dB rising characteristic of the accelerometer.
Construction of a suitable transfer-function shaping filter is shown in FIG. 4. The filter shown is conventional and is presented for illustrative purposes only. The circuit details form no part of this invention. An accelerometer 10, includes piezo-electric crystal elements 36 coupled to an inertia mass (not shown). The output of the crystals is fed to a unity-gain impedance matching amplifier A1. The arrangement is quite conventional and would result from a combination of the accelerometer of Pavey, U.S. Pat. No. 3,281,768, FIG. 15 of the patent and impedance matching circuit 20, FIG. 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,569,747 to Skegel. Amplifier A1 may be of any well known type such as a Motorola MC1776C operational amplifier.
Transfer-function shaping element 11 is a filter that consists of resistor networks R1, R2, R3, capacitors C1 and C2 and Amplifier A2 which also may be a Motorola MC1776C operational amplifier. The values of C1 and C2 are chosen to allow reasonable values for the resistor networks. For purposes of use in the seismic frequency band, C1 =C2 =0.1 microfarad. The values for R1, R2, R3 are computed from the known parameters of the geophone whose transfer functon is to be matched. Element 11 can be made tunable to match the accelerometer transfer function to any one of several different types of geophones having different natural frequencies and damping coefficients, by using two or more resistors such as R1, R1 ' in each resistor network, selectable by switches S1, S2, S3.
Resistor values are computed as follows, assuming unity gain:
R2 =1/2πfn bt C
R3 =R2 bt 2 /(1-2bt 2)
bt =geophone damping coefficient
fn =geophone natural frequency, in Hz
C=Capacitance in farads.
For a geophone having a natural frequency of 10 Hz, a damping coefficient of 0.45 and assuming that C=0.1�10-6 farads,
R1 =177 K ohms,
R2 =354 K ohms,
R3 =120 K ohms.
If the natural frequency of another desired geophone to be matched is 20 Hz with a damping coefficient of 0.65,
R1 '=61 K ohms,
R2 '=122 K ohms,
R3 '=334 K ohms.
The values for R and R' as given are rounded off. Fixed resistors are shown, but continuously variable resistors could be used.
It should be understood that the phase difference between an accelerometer signal and the signal of the geophone is inherently compensated for by filter 11. This statement is true because the phase shift is defined by the undamped natural frequency and the damping coefficient.
In use, transfer-functon shaping element 11 may be included inside the case 9 of the multi-purpose transducer 10 as shown in FIG. 2. However, because, as was mentioned above, a string of several accelerometers may be connected together to form a single data channel, element 11 could be alternatively be mounted in a suitable container and plugged into the end of the string. In this way, only one instead of several transfer-function shaping elements per string is needed. The additional advantage is, of course, that the element 11 can be unplugged completely from the string if the accelerometers are to be used as accelerometers rather than as phantom geophones. This feature is shown in FIG. 5 where element 11 is mounted in a module that is plugged into cable 18 at the end of a string 17 of individual accelerometers 42-42'".
As pointed out earlier, piezo-electric hydrophones are commonly used in marine surveying. In the water, particle motions of the earth at the water bottom are converted to compressional waves in the water, which are detected as seismic signals by the pressure-sensitive hydrophones. The transfer function of such a hydrophone is identical to the transfer function of an equivalent accelerometer used on land. Hence, transfer-function shaping element 11 can be used with hydrophone arrays. Such a use is particularly advantageous where a marine survey is extended shoreward towards a land area to link with a geophone survey.
A land survey and a contiguous marine survey are shown in FIG. 6. In this case, the land survey is conducted using geophones 40-40", connected to a cable 18 for conducting the geophone signals to recording truck 16. A ship 43, tows a cable 44 through water 46. Crystal hydrophones 48-48'" receive seismic signals generated by a sound source 50 also towed by ship 43. In accordance with the previous discussion, band-pass filters, connected to the hydrophones, match the transfer function of the hydrophones to the transfer function of the geophones as used on land. Accordingly the results of the two surveys, marine and land, will match without further processing. Brede, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,629,801 seeks to match the results of a marine and a land survey by cross-correlating the two sets of seismic data in a computer. However, he does not teach a means for matching the transfer function of the hydrophones to the geophone transfer function. Use of this invention precludes the necessity for expensive cross-correlation during post processing of the seismic data.

Firstly, Niaspan should be used cautiously in those predisposed to gout. Elevated uric acid levels have occurred with Niaspan (niacin) therapy.
Secondly, Niaspan is used along with diet and exercise to improve cholesterol levels. Niaspan raises HDL ("good") cholesterol and lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides.
See: http://www.niaspan.com/UnderstandingCholesterol/Default.aspx for information on cholesterol levels and Niaspan.

Great fit. It is very tight on a Glock 17 but just needs some breaking in.

Muslims told not to celebrate Christmas
No celebrations, no greetings, say MUI leaders
December 20, 2012
Indonesia's top Islamic clerical body has warned the country's 200 million-plus Muslims not to attend Christmas celebrations or even wish Christians a 'merry Christmas', maintaining that to do so remains forbidden under local Islamic law.
Ma'ruf Amin, head of the Fatwa Division of the Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI), a government funded organization, reminded Muslims yesterday of a ban on celebrating Christmas imposed under a fatwa, or religious edict, in 1981.
"Wishing a 'merry Christmas' is still not right. It would be better if (Muslims) say 'happy new year," he said.
It is sufficient for Muslims to show their tolerance towards Christmas by allowing Christians to celebrate peacefully, he added.
"(Muslims) must maintain tolerance and harmony," he said.
Zuhairi Misrawi, a Muslim leader from Nahdlatul Ulama, the country's largest Islamic organization which falls under the umbrella of MUI, said that not all Muslims would accept this blanket ban on Christmas.
"Islam is like a wide and deep blue sea, and MUI's religious edict is only a flow of water. There are many other flows of water," he said.
Theopilus Bela, secretary general of the Indonesian Committee of Religions for Peace, said that MUI had a history of issuing fatwas which demonstrate a lack of religious tolerance.
"I hope Muslims, the majority group, won't be affected by MUI's remarks," he said.

Watch out for the yellow dog!
Now that school has gotten firmly in the groove, it is common to see our yellow buses, or as they are affectionately called, "the yellow dogs," on the road morning and afternoon.
Our district transports over 1,500 of our 2,000 students twice each day. The drivers crank up early each morning around 5:30 a.m. in an effort to have students at any one of our five schools at the appointed time. In the afternoon the process begins about 2:30 p.m. with drivers stopping at each school and then on to the respective houses.
Buses may have between 50 and 75 students on board. Drivers have the awesome task of driving down a multitude of roadways from blacktop to sand and gravel. Some never leave the blacktop in town, but make two trips as most of their loads get off at one or two stops. Others head out to the far reaches of the district to farm houses and more isolated communities to see children safely home.
Along with the tedious business of driving the highways in any given weather conditions, drivers must also keep discipline and order on their buses. We are very fortunate to have well mannered respectful students, but even on the best of days, as the old saying goes, boys and girls will be boys and girls, and disciplinary actions must occur. To keep this in perspective, think what it's like to take your two or three children to Tupelo in a vehicle. I can just remember the, "Mommy, he hit me. Daddy, she is in my stuff. Tell Billy I'm gonna punch his nose if he pulls my pigtails again." And of course that old classic, "He put that frog down my back." Do you remember that frustration?
Ok,multiply that by 50, 60 or 70!
Please remember that when a bus is stopped to load or unload, a driver must watch the road for potential oncoming hazards, children who are unloading and crossing both lanes of traffic, and the students still on the bus. Most drivers may stop as many as 30 to 50 times from morning and evening. Note that any time the red flashers are on, all lanes of traffic are to stop, even on a four lane. When you get frustrated at this process, remember that there may be a 5-year-old child coming around in front of that bus that you can't see. Be patient until you can successfully move around the bus at appropriate times. After all, they are carrying our most precious cargo.
When students jeopardize the safety of other students by their behavior on the bus, they are reported to the school principal and may be removed from the bus. Going to school to get an education is a right, but riding a bus to get there is a privilege. With gas prices steadily rising, it's an economic privilege to the parents. By the way, most buses only get about three or four miles to the gallon of fuel because of all the stop-and-go they must perform. Fortunately, all our buses have diesel engines, air brakes and automatic transmissions. These are huge safety improvements for our students and drivers. And by the way, every driver that gets behind the wheel of a bus has a CDL license and is state certified for their job.
Because I regularly ride our buses with the students on their journeys, I can personally tell you what a great job these men and women perform for us. Whether it's 100 -degrees in the summer, or 18-degrees in the winter; sunshine or rain the buses must roll. Sorta like the motto of the U.S. mail; "The mail must go through," and the students must be transported!
I still remember the song we used to sing in kindergarten, "The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town." As you see our buses around the town and district, think safety first and remember what a great service the drivers provide for our children and community!

Though her family tree was full of teachers, Amy Gleaton resisted the pull of becoming one. But a stint into substitute teaching showed her that the classroom would be her ultimate destination. On Monday evening, Ms. Gleaton's work as a teacher was recognized as she was named the 2013-14 Dalton Public Schools' Teacher of the Year. The announcement came during a ceremony honoring all the school-level winners for Teacher of the Year within the district.
Ms. Gleaton has taught in Dalton Public Schools for 10 years—the last two at Dalton High School as a 10th and 11th grade chemistry and physical science teacher. She also spent almost two years as a paraprofessional and 3 years as a preschool teacher at First Baptist Church Children's Learning Center. She holds a bachelor's degree in exercise and sports science from the University of Georgia and a master's degree in middle grades education from the State University of West Georgia.
Chairman of the Dalton Board of Education Danny Crutchfield presented Ms. Gleaton with the award. "Amy is an outstanding teacher who will only continue to get better," Mr. Crutchfield said. "We appreciate you for inspiring students to grow in many ways beyond their understanding of science."
Ms. Gleaton says she believes outstanding teachers show interest in the material, but even more so in the students. "An outstanding teacher strives for mastery, yet recognizes the importance of struggle," she said. "Kids deserve outstanding teachers who love to teach, who love them, and who cherish the short time we have to make a difference."
She says she wants her greatest contribution to students to be meeting them where they are and guiding them to see the possibility of where they can be. "Equipping our students to be both dreamers and realistic planners, to be critical thinkers but not critical people, to understand that the actions we choose have far reaching implications are just some of the lessons I hope to continue learning along with my students."
Other school level Teachers of the Year winners included Ashley McMath, Blue Ridge School; Jane Keegan, Brookwood School; Jaclyn Wilson, City Park School; Kimberley Fannin, Park Creek School; Christen Brown, Roan School, Megan Walker, Westwood School; William Henderson, Dalton Middle School; and Julia Cagle, Morris Innovative High School.
Ms. Gleaton will now compete with other district Teachers of the Year from across the Georgia for state Teacher of the Year.

More > ruled by witchcraft; although legend and superstition do still play a large part in the life of the average African. Man is not the natural prey of any animal and when one of these mighty beasts turns against humans, it is capable of wreaking destruction on a terrible scale until death ends its reign of terror. Man, unless armed, is a puny creature and no match for the horns or claws against which circumstances sometimes pit him. Small wonder that an animal on the rampage is so feared by the natives whose areas they invade. It is therefore up to a hunter skilled in taking down man-eaters and marauders, to come face to face with these wild beasts which, until stopped, rain destruction and death upon the peoples who cower in the shadow of their wild brutality.
