MARTINSBURG - For years and years, there existed a group of students at Martinsburg High School who were confined from freely communicating. Expression of their needs and wants was restricted to large, awkward assistive technology devices or pointing to pictures. But the barrier was broken this year when Trisha Palmer, speech language pathologist for Berkeley County Schools, applied for a grant that supplied each non-verbal student with an iPad.
Now using Apple's touch-screen tablet, suddenly non-verbal students have a voice.
The $4,000 grant from the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation, drawn from the Berkeley County Education Grants Program, was approved in May. At the school year's start, in addition to durable cases and various applications, the grant provided seven iPads for MHS's special needs with multiple disabilities class, which is comprised of seven non-verbal students.

Speech Language Pathologist for Berkeley County Schools Trisha Palmer assists Martinsburg High School student Tiffany Ronk — one of seven students in the school's non-verbal special needs with multiple disabilities class — with working on an iPad after the class benefited from a $4,000 grant Palmer applied for in May.
Non-verbal students, Palmer said, are restricted by their cognitive abilities, which limit the retention of information, and gross motor deficits that prevent the students from being able to use sign language.
"There was a need, especially with this population," Palmer said. "Once the students get to high school, if they're essentially non-verbal, it seems we need to find another avenue for communication. Speech just hasn't developed at that point, for whatever reason."
In addition to various educational, communicative and leisure applications, the students use My First AAC, an augmentative alternative communication application. The application employs pictures for choice and students are able to touch to indicate personal information, wants and needs, Palmer said.
"It's been wonderful. Their attention to task has increased. Their interest has increased. They're more motivated," she said. "Basically, communication for them is all about wants and needs and making those needs met. And they've never had a way to communicate that before."
Housed in pink or purple cases for females and gray cases for males, each student's iPad is set with a desktop background featuring their photo to easily distinguish their respective tablet.
Palmer said she applied for the grant after using her own personal iPad as an educational and communicative tool in the classroom.
"It's the latest technology and it is now available to them. They have a means to communicate now," she said. "A lot of times this population is overlooked. Because there are only seven students, but yet these seven students have no means of communication other than through technology."
Over the years, Palmer said, various assistive technology devices have been employed in the classroom. The devices have quickly become obsolete due to advancements in technology.
Nancy Simpson, special education teacher, has seen such devices come and go throughout her six years teaching at MHS. Past devices, she said, were large and awkward for students to use; they offered either too many choices or not enough, not to mention being attached to a hefty price tag.
Simpson said she first saw the educational benefits of the iPad after teaching a unit on fire safety and reviewing her student assessment data.
"All of them, all of them increased their knowledge of that subject fairly significantly over the course of the month," Simpson said. "I think it just really had to do with multiple presentation of that information."
Non-verbal students, she said, have greater needs and require one-on-one teaching. The use of iPads facilitates this as students are able to self-propel on their own tablet while teachers attend to students individually, she said.
With the specific non-verbal population, Simpson said, it's difficult to measure the amount of information retained. Since the iPads serve as both a teaching and evaluating tool, she said, the use of tablets also offers her a barometer to judge her teaching success, allowing her to adjust her style if students are not understanding certain concepts.
Students of the special needs with multiple disabilities class are able to continue attending school until they reach the age of 21.
"They are high school students just like every other student in this building," Simpson said. "And they deserve the same opportunities. It can be more challenging to figure out how to get them those opportunities. But I believe that they deserve the same opportunities to be able to express themselves to ask for what they want, to ask for what they need."
The iPads come as only the second donation the class has received in her six years, Simpson said, the first being bean bags gifted by Quad/Graphics.
"Other than that, since I've been here, nobody's done anything for us," she said. "When we originally asked for (the iPads) we didn't know how phenomenal it would be."
Perhaps the most significant contribution of iPads to the classroom is their ability to broaden a world that was once limited by silence.
"Sometimes I know that words can't always express how appreciative you are of something," Simpson said. "I have a student who can't hold a utensil, or a pen or a marker. But yet if she's got this choice and all you have to do is touch, she can just touch it and make a choice and be able to do something. It's exciting to see that."

to give a perspective of how Davankova can still grow
watching this last year's summer I was alarmed how tall her sister is: http://vk.com/videos121946509#/video121946509_161946585
that is one tall family genetics !
RE: Bobrov, yes, he is 187 cm which is excellent. Additionally, at 17 years of age, it's VERY possible he too will grow taller, which is really great in the event her height does continue to increase as well.
I agree he's not currently at Davankova's level, but he has potential to grow IMO- he is not a train wreck. As others have noted they can spend a few years in juniors and see how it goes, and honestly, there is almost literally NO ONE who is tall enough for her that is available. Frankly, I think to some degree she is lucky to have found a partner at all. It IS a real pity, because she really IS that good, but height is what it is.
I saw a picture of Radford beside Moscovitch recently, and they were both shirtless. I don't have the link but Radford looked so much less muscular than Moscovitch, pretty lanky.. TBH I think he's a weak lifter. I don't remember what his lifts were like with Rachel Kirkland but IIRC, she was very small when they were together.
The federation has now officially approved the partnership. http://www.team-russia2014.ru/article/figur/16852.html
Deputat continues to say very nice things both about Bazarova and about Davankova.
Thanks to FSU and TAHbKA's translation: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...Deputat/page28
Short interview with Deputat.
AD: We tried out in Moscow. Today we are going to St. Petersburg and will start training there.
Q: Did you like skating with Vera?
AD: Yes, we are very comfortable and like working together. It was a common decision to skate together. On April 14th we went to the skating federation offices and filed a request. The president Alexand Gorshkov officially approved. There were no problems.
Q: How about working with Vasiliev?
AD: I like it. He is easy to communicate to person and is very involved.
Q: Do you have ideas for the new programmes?
AD: We are still looking for the music. There is still not a piece we listened and said `this is it!' but we tried several and now hesitating. Perhaps we'll decide on the final piece soon and will start choreographing.
Q: What are your relationship with your previous partner Vasilisa Davankova?
AD: Very good. We parted warmly, spoke of the pros and cons of our pair. There were no hard feelings or fights. The same with my previous coach Sergey Dobroskokov. We are all in good terms and talk to each other.
Gerboldt / Enbert have ended their partnership: http://www.rsport.ru/figure_skating/...744099385.html
Davankova will skate with Enbert: http://itar-tass.com/sport/1159214
not a good choice, but I suppose he is the only available male skater tall enough for Davankova

The Coach is gone, and area high school basketball will never be the same.
Not to me, anyway.
I met John Swogger in 1968 when he was named head coach of the Altoona Mountain Lions, and that was the beginning of a relationship unlike I had ever had or have had in my many years of covering area high school sports.
I have always prided myself on being fair in my coverage whether it's to area athletes and coaches or visiting athletes and coaches. Over the 12 seasons - 1968-1980 - that Swogger coached the Mountain Lions, I don't think we ever exchanged unkind words.
Even in tough losses, and the stories that followed, Swogger never questioned my coverage of the games. From the beginning, we had a mutual respect for what each of us was doing, and that never changed.
Out of that respect developed a friendship that never altered, either. A fierce competitor in his younger days, Swogger mellowed in recent years, but his love for the game and its people never changed.
Although Swogger hasn't coached on the high school level for more than 30 years, we've remained close. Whether it was a short phone conversation or at our Thursday morning breakfast group, or an area high school game or a clinic with my granddaughters, he was always the same - smiling and upbeat. And nothing excited him more than talking about his grandkids or mine. Well, maybe high school basketball.
He loved to talk high school basketball anytime, anywhere.
Swogger learned basketball from legendary high school coach Butler Hennon at Wampum, and his first job was assisting Hennon. Then it was on to Mercer for his first head coaching job. He took the Mustangs to five state title appearances and a pair of state championships.
That brought him to Altoona and with him came his great family - wife Sally and six kids. And, several beagles, too. John loved to raise and train beagle pups, which he did for many years.
During 12 seasons at AAHS, Swogger won 242 games (79 losses) and won nine District 6 championships. He never won a state title here, but his fast-breaking offense - he loved the Celtics' fastbreak of Bill Russell, Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman - became known statewide and is still copied by coaches throughout Pennsylvania.
Swogger's teams consistently packed the Jaffa Mosque for games with powerful teams from the WPIAL and Pittsburgh City League. Fans loved his entertaining, disciplined style of play, and many still talk about it today.
"Discipline and winning go hand in hand," was a common theme with Swogger.
He was not without his share of detractors, though. The alleged recruiting of Ricky Tunstall did not go over well with a lot of people in the community, and there were some fans and parents who tried to have him removed from his coaching job way back when.
But time heals a lot of wounds, and Swogger always maintained an aura about him. All these many years later, he was still known to most folks simply as "Coach."
Few remained closer to the sport than he did. He always had time for a game or time to help a youngster who sought his advice. They were all his kids, and he'd often tear up when talking about them.
Years from now, when people talk about area high school basketball or coaches, you can bet John Swogger's name will be among the first mentioned.
"The Coach" was the kind of guy you don't forget.
Jim Lane is a retired sports editor of the Mirror. He covered Altoona High sports during Swogger's tenure as the Mountain Lions' coach.

Paulson Resort Inks New Deal for PGA West
A Coachella Valley golf resort that was recently purchased out bankruptcy by the Singapore government has struck a new deal with the PGA, ensuring the home of The Bob Hope Classic will continue to operate under the PGA West banner.
The owners of California's La Quinta Resort & Club PGA West, a group led by hedge-fund manager John Paulson's Paulson & Co., have inked a new deal that will see the 2,000-acre property remain a PGA-branded resort through 2061.
The pact allows the hedge fund to transfer the licensing agreement to the resort's new prospective owner: the real-estate investment arm of Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, which wants to buy the Paulson-owned resort and three others for $1.5 billion.
The new deal gives the resort the exclusive right to use the PGA name within a 250 mile radius (excluding Nevada and Mexico) in return for an annual royalty payment.
Located near Palm Springs, PGA West was the longtime home of the Bob Hope Classic, now known as the Humana Challenge. Golf fans know it as the former home of the made-for-TV "Skins Game" events and the host to the PGA Tour's qualifying school. The club features six championship courses, including ones designed by all-time greats Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
The resort's trip through bankruptcy began in February 2011, when Paulson teamed with Michael Ashner's Winthrop Realty Trust to seize the property and several others through a foreclosure proceeding. Days later, the group put the resorts into Chapter 11 to avoid paying more than $1.5 billion in senior debt.
The Singapore sovereign wealth fund is purchasing the La Quinta resort along with Maui's Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa, the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix and the Claremont in Berkeley, Calif.
The deal also includes the Great White Course, a Greg Norman-designed golf course adjacent to the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami. A company controlled by Donald Trump bought Doral from Paulson last year for $150 million.

With only five contestants left in the competition, a fan favorite was sure to be sent home Thursday on American Idol.
The voting public had chosen some hits and some misses for the final five to sing on Wednesday night, and none of the competitors felt safe going into the elimination episode.
"I think we are all scared," contestant Alex Preston told reporters after performing Wednesday. "None of us are safe at this point. We are all on the same level."
But that was before everything turned topsy-turvy. (You guessed it: spoilers ahead …)
At the beginning of Thursday's show, host Ryan Seacrest promised a "shocking twist" that would be a "game changer" and soon revealed that the contestants had the option of unanimously voting to forgo the elimination this week – but at the cost of sending two contestants home next week.
After a short commercial break, the decision was ultimately not unanimous with two people voting to send a contestant home.
"I'm surprised … oh, they didn't ask me," Jennifer Lopez said to fellow judge Harry Connick, Jr. in the commotion of the studio during the live show.
Before the audience had a time to calm down from the announcement, Seacrest announced that it was the season's heartthrob, Sam Woolf, who was sent home with the lowest number of votes from America.
Proudly taking to the stage for the last time, Woolf closed the show with a reprise of his rendition of "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons.

There is rejoicing in Transylvania when the infamous Victor Von Frankenstein is carried away in a coffin. The audiences at The Ritz Theatre may also find reasons to rejoice as Heidelberg University and The Ritz Players present the new Mel Brooks musical, "Young Frankenstein."
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. today through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday on The Ritz's main stage.
Halloween is the perfect season for this wacky comedy. A 12-piece orchestra sets an ominous tone for action that is about to unfold. The curtain rises on Lukas Frey as Inspector Hans Kemp and Kelly Addis as Ziggy, a Transylvania citizen, speaking of their relief the doctor is dead.

Fedderick (Charles Groth) converses with the monster (Adam Hoover) he has brought to life in the lab.
But someone points out Frankenstein's grandson, Fedderick, is alive and well, teaching at prestigious medical college in New York. What if he were to turn up to pick up where his grandfather left off?
Charles Groth as Fedderick receives the news of his grandfather's passing and a summons to settle the family estate. He bids goodbye to his socialite fiancee, Elizabeth (Darcianne Allen), and boards a ship for Europe. At the train station, Igor (Jeffrey Buchanan) meets Fedderick with a wagon to transport him to the castle. Also along for the jittery ride is Inga (Elle Dutton), a lab assistant Igor has hired.
Fedderick insists he has not come to work in the lab but to tend to the family property.
At the castle, Frau Blucher (Rosalie Distel) meets them at the door. Fedderick soon learns Frau is not only the housekeeper but also his grandfather's lover. The stern Frau describes her love in the hilarious "He Vas My Boyfriend."
Exhausted, Fedderick falls asleep and experiences a nightmare. Seth Innis as Victor Frankenstein appears with a chorus of lab workers, inviting him to "Join the Family Business."
Igor and Inga come to calm the frightened Fedderick. They also discover a bookcase that opens to reveal a staircase to the lab. Frau appears and presents the notes Dr. Frankenstein has left to Fedderick. The notebook says bringing lifeless matter to life is possible, which fascinates Fedderick.
"It could work!" he declares, if the right brain and body could be found to repeat the original experiment and produce a different outcome. Igor sets out to find the right "parts."
The lab is aglow with flashing lights and the sounds of a generator. Before the end of Act I, Fedderick has created a new monster, played by Adam Hoover, but the procedure does not go as planned. The creature bursts out of the castle and flees into the countryside, much to the villagers' alarm. Fedderick is sure he can humanize the creature, but first he must find him.
Many surprises develop as the search begins.
The audience can expect word plays and references to other musical productions, fog-shrouded scenes, cracks of thunder and other appropriate sound effects, "Transylvania Mania," a few four-letter words, a tap dance number, a shadow dance, pyrotechniques, a monster dancing to "Puttin' on the Ritz," complete with tuxedo and cane, and all manner of other devices in this fast-paced musical.
The costumers and make-up crew must be applauded for adding artistic touches and wigs to enhance the characters.
The principal female dancers are Katelyn Hough, Marina Richley, Kristina Kamm, Morgan LaFlure, Makenzie Dietrich and Dorothy Faris. Principal male dancers are Zachary Orwig, Tony Ringle, TJ Wasserman and AJ Lacefield.
Angie Smith, Josh Harris, Sandy Kimmel and Amy Berger serve as the chorus. All contribute solid voices to the mix.
Backing the vocalists are Greg Ramsdell and Collin Stump, keyboards; Cedrick Robinson, violin; Mackenzie Honaker, Kyle Sherepita and Colleen Abrams, reeds; Kelsey Keasel, horn; Joe Gozdowski and Emily Howe, trumpets; Jim Cook, bass; and Mike Mallow, drums.
Directing the production is Chris Tucci with Micheal Andres as musical director and choreographer Kathy Miller, who keeps the actors on the move. Jon Baggs of Tiffin designed the set and Lukas Frey did the lighting design.
This review cannot do justice to the spectacle that is about to appear. Some of the subject matter and language in "Young Frankenstein" are too mature for younger children.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For tickets and information, stop at the box office, 30 S. Washington St., visit www.ritztheatre.com or call (419) 448-8544.

An explosive device. A booby trap. A package bomb. A hand-tossed grenade.
Long before George Harrison, Sean Penn and Madonna and the movie they made by that name, a Shanghai Surprise was a home made bomb used by the Chinese tongs or gangs. The expression probably dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. While I cannot cite chapter and verse of it's origin, I'm older than Madonna and understood the expression at the time the movie was made. Not everything is about sex, kids. That's why I unsubscribed from the UD.

EAST LIVERPOOL - For as long as Mary Moss can remember, James Locke Jewelers has been at the corner of Fifth and Broadway streets in downtown East Liverpool.
"We've been shopping here for generations," Moss said on Saturday, the store's last day in business. "Now it'll be the last jewelry store we've had downtown."
Moss, of East Liverpool, was among dozens of shoppers and well-wishers who flocked to the store on Saturday, hoping to get a great deal or just to say goodbye to old friends. They've been coming ever since the family-owned store announced in early November that it was closing after 57 years in business.
"I was shocked. I was really shocked," Moss said.
Moss said her father bought her baby bracelet at Locke's in the 1960s. She, in turn, bought her son's baby ring there. On Saturday, like so many others, she was at the store one last time - buying an amethyst-and-diamond necklace at a deep discount for herself.
Jennifer Enochs, of Chester, came to Locke's on Saturday with her daughter, Macey, 7, to pick up an engagement ring she had brought in for repairs. The ring combines a setting she bought at Locke's two years ago and the diamond from her original engagement ring, bought 14 years ago at another store.
"They did a great job, as always," she said, holding up her hand and marveling at the sparkle.
Assisting her were store owners Keith Locke and Jim Locke III, who spent Saturday afternoon mixing with customers and employees in anticipation of the 5:30 p.m. closing.
The brothers - and sons of store founders James and Margaret Locke - sounded hopeful that another business will eventually take its place.
"We are in discussions with a variety of potential purchasers," Keith Locke said.
"If we can sell it as a unit - building, furniture, fixtures and remaining inventory - that's our preferred way of doing it," Jim Locke said.
Their mother, Margaret Locke, 91, visited the store on Friday but spent Saturday at home.
She and her husband, James Locke, opened the store in 1955 - first at Sixth and Broadway and then, a few months later, at Fifth and Broadway. Margaret Locke carried on after her husband's death in 2003 and kept the store in operation with the help of her sons, who she said practically grew up at the store, and a dedicated staff.

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Good teams do not need extra runs, but they will take them.
And despite a furious Durango rally, those early extra runs helped Montrose keep the Demons at bay. Montrose scored nine runs in the first three innings, then held off the Durango High School baseball team 14-10 in the Demons� home- and Southwestern League-opener Saturday afternoon.
The Indians quickly jumped out of the gates, using a walk and a pair of errors to set the table, and Chase Bradburn�s bloop single dropped in to drive in the first run after some miscommunication between DHS infielders. Garrett Zarkis� fielder�s choice plated another run, then Skyler Haynes plated another with an RBI single off DHS starter and losing pitcher Ben Wiley.
An error to start the second inning allowed Brennan Woodruff to reach, and a throwing error during a rundown invovling another baserunner allowed him to score. Wild pitches brought home two more runs that inning, and Tyrus Lopez�s sacrifice fly plated the fourth of the frame. The Demons got one back on Tyler Worley�s RBI single in the bottom of the inning. All told, the Demons (5-4, 0-1 SWL) committed four errors in the first three innings, then committed none over the final four frames.�Problem was just not getting our head in it right away from the beginning and taking a little too long to get dialed in,� said Jeremy Szura, son of Kari and Matt Szura.Peter Shearer�s two-out, two-run single in the third inning drove home two more runs, while RBI doubles from Josh Robertson and Ben Cruz built the lead to 11-1 in the top of the fifth, putting DHS in jeopardy of being mercy-ruled.
But the Demons would respond, finally getting to Haynes, who eventually picked up the victory on the mound. DHS batted around in the fifth to keep the game alive, with Connor Dugan driving in a run with a bases-loaded walk, followed by Worley�s bases-clearing, three-RBI double that cut the deficit to 11-5. Szura�s RBI single plated the frame�s final run and trimmed the lead to a suddenly precarious 11-6. �We�re just trying to take the approach to see as many pitches, have quality at-bats, be tough outs,� DHS head coach Rob Coddington said. �And we know sometimes we�re going to be able to jump on people in the fourth, fifth and sixth.�
Montrose added an insurance run in the sixth, which was answered by DHS, and got a two-run double from Bradburn in the seventh to lead 14-7. �I guess the relievers should�ve got a little bit more focused, too, as well,� said Szura, one of Durango�s three relief pitchers Saturday. �Throw a little bit more strikes, give opportunities for plays.�Szura�s RBI double in the seventh preceded a towering two-run home run by Isiah Mayberry to trim the lead to 14-10, but DHS could get no closer off Montrose reliever Lopez. Szura went 3-for-4 with a run scored and two RBIs, while Dugan was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and two driven in for the Demons. Bradburn was 3-for-5 with three RBIs, while Jake Kastendieck was 3-for-4 with two runs scored for the Indians.Despite the loss, Coddington said the way his team rallied offensively and eventually honed in on defense could bode well going forward, starting with Friday�s home game with Grand Junction Central.
�Unfortunately we came away with a loss, but I think that�s good momentum going into the rest of the league,� Coddington said.

Open health - MUMPS programming
Join the M revolution
Are you a geek?
If so, driving the future of healthcare is now within your grasp.
What do you have to do?
Learn the M programming language, and teach it to others.
What's the M programming language?
The M programming language is also known as MUMPS. Which stands for Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System.
M is a multi-user, strongly imperative language designed to
manipulate and control massive databases. It is used in the high availability, high reliability niche of the computer market—which includes banking and hospitals. It provides simple data abstractions, in which all data values are strings of characters, and all data can be structured as multiple dimensional arrays. M data structures are sparse, using strings of characters as subscripts. M is itself a language combined with a database engine.
Is M difficult to learn?
Here is the common Hello World program, written in M:
MYLABEL ; This is a comment
WRITE !,"Hello World"
White spaces are significant in M. Commands typically start in the second column. Arguments are separated from commands by a single space.
Is M boring?
Not at all, M starts easy, and rapidly becomes interesting.
Here is one of the coolest features of M, the sparse indexed array:
SET ClientAddresses("Main Street","1056","Apt 23")="John Doe"
SET ClientAddresses("Main Street","1056","Apt 23","August 15")="Mary Poppins"
In this example, the strings "Main Street", "1056", "Apt 23" and "August 15" are all used as indexes in the sparse array "ClientAddresses."
Sparse arrays are one of the features that make M uniquely well-suited for healthcare applications, because it matches the natural sparseness of data resulting from the series of unlikely events that compose a health record.
And here is the Fibonnaci series, computed in M:
FIBONACCI ; compute the Fibonacci series
WRITE !,"Result= ",S
Would programming in M help me get a job?
- More than 80 percent of hospitals in the US do not have electronic health records (EHRs). Instead, they still run on paper forms [1].
- Hospitals are being given monetary incentives for adopting EHRs in the next few years. Some will also be subject to penalties if they do not adopt EHRs by certain dates [5].
- The largest EHR systems currently deployed in the US are written in M, including VistA (Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture). VistA is the system that currently manages all hospitals and ambulatory care facilities run by the Department of Veterans Affairs [6].
- Deploying EHRs in hospitals will require of tens of thousands of developers over the next few years.
Institutions using M include: AmeriPath (now part of Quest Diagnostics), Care Centric, Epic Systems Corporation, EMIS, Partners HealthCare, MEDITECH, GE Healthcare (formerly IDX Systems and Centricity), Hospitals of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Indian Health Service. Among the financial users are: Ameritrade, the largest online trading service in the US with over 12 billion transactions per day, as well as by the Bank of England and Barclays Bank.
Why have I never heard of M (or MUMPS)?
The application field of M is very specific to high demand and high performance databases that require support for sparse data. Most M developers have been working for many years in the specific niches of high performance healthcare and financial applications.
The initiative of deploying EHRs in all US hospitals, now brings M programming into the mainstream where thousands of developers would be needed to maintain and support all those installations.
Is M cool? Can I write mobile apps with it?
Yes and yes.
Once you have learned the basic techniques of M programming, you can check EWD, the Enterprise Web Development environment, and start interacting with M database applications from mobile devices, including both iOS and Android [2].
I'm into NoSQL databases. Why should I care about M?
Because M is a NoSQL database. M is indeed a language that has integrated a database engine to store data persistently. M existed well before SQL was around. And M is also a highly scalable and reliable database system.
It is quite likely that your payroll and your bank account are being managed by an M database.
How do I setup an M programming environment?
You can get a virtual machine with an M programming environment already set up on it here:
Or you can follow the instructions on this page to create your own:
In both cases you will be using an Open Source implementation of M, called GT.M [3], developed and maintained by Fisglobal [4].
Where can I learn more about M?
This article is intended to be the first in a series. In our next installment, we will cover M 101—a basic introduction to M programming, including the basics of flow control and routines.
If you have any specific questions of topics that you would like to see discussed, please post them in the comments, and I will address them in subsequent posts.

Why would the future of healthcare be written in MUMPS?
Healthcare is an industry that is at least 10 years behind in technology, don't you think that promoting MUMPS instead of promoting the use of newer technology (programming languages in this case) in Health IT goes against driving healthcare to 'the future'?
Healthcare, and specially new people getting into health IT, should take advantage of all the new discoveries that have been made since MUPS was created more than 50 years ago, instead of adopting all the bad habits the industry already has.
Thanks for sharing the post anyway and for paying attention the the health IT industry!
As a long time user of M, I get frustrated when everyone talks about the 'M language'. The strength of M is not the language (not that it is bad, but it is fairly dated), but the database. The 'M language' is great of managing that database, and a great deal of the behind the scenes business logic. It isn't equipped to deal with modern user interfaces however. We use HTML, Javascript, Ajax, node.js, Adobe flex, and others for our 'front end' work. There is no reason you can't use any language or development tool to do that portion. Trying to squeeze healthcare data into SQL tables is a much worse thing to do....
but the only problem is that very few people in the IT world know about M Technology, and when you start you need to know the basic commands for which we need to learn MUMPs. no doubt the database thing but to suddenly try and learn a language without any help available

You are right. Languages do not expire.
And yes, if a programmer wants to go work for some of the companies that you mention, then definitely M is the option for them.
But, in my opinion, those companies and their solutions are not changing healthcare. They are old and expensive solutions.
My point is, why try to move people to a language no one speaks, instead of moving an industry to the current trends everyone likes all around - I'm not saying to change the codebase of the companies/solutions that you mention, but instead, to create new products under newer and sexier architectures that everyone is looking for.
My bet is that if more companies in healthcare were programming with node.js, rails, NoSQL (not M...), python/django, etc. more programmers would be attracted to join the industry. Wat do you think?
Thanks for answering!
Having seen this system at work, it is a very powerful system that smokes just about any other distributed system that can be created with newer tech. Before you chastise me, I'm an old C, Unix, Java, JEE developer architect. The M language should be thought of as a Domain Specific Language (DSL) in this space. Sure you can write any of the apps that are used in VistA with other languages, but the level of effort and the expressiveness of the languages isn't going to match what M developers can do; at least not without significant effort. Anyone that thinks that's BS clearly hasn't examined the language or the DB. Sure there are shortcomings with the DB related to transactions, but its designed to be adaptable to the needs of the hospitals and medical taxonomies in general. As such a lot of flexibility is required and that's what has made the VistA design so robust. It allows dynamic changes and doesn't require a schema to be developed ahead of time. The medical field is dynamic, unlike a lot of other businesses. There's a ton of rules and domain specific information that would make any relational DB trying to do similiar things completely fail; I have witness this first hand btw.
I've seen the new tech arguments before, and used to be on that wagon, but in this case M is the correct language and DB for this solution. Extending its capabilities using RESTful APIs and things of that nature is certainly a wonderful thing and clearly should be done. But don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
Great article. I've worked with M for over 2 decades in various healthcare institutions. It's amazing how it has supported multi-user systems from 286's to minicomputers (remember them?) to IBM mainframes to today's servers. In one large company we had the same application running on OpenVMS, Unixware, Linux and Windows. While there are domains in which it is not appropriate, for storing and accessing large amounts of indexed data, it is hard to beat.
And the syntax of the base language does not pose the barrier of entry that some more modern languages might.
Thanks for the Great Article! I've been programming in M for 20 years in both the Healthcare and Banking Industries.
I understand the author is from an Open Souce background, but is is really unfair to talk about M without mentioning InterSystems, specially when all cited organizations (except MEDITECH) are long term Caché/Ensemble customers, NOT GT.M´s.
Thirty plus years ago I began using MUMPS and the then-current VA File Manager in an academic outpatient department to implement an appointment system and a lab result followup application. While the university hospital spent $4.5 million on a pretty, IBM-based HIS that never satisfied the medical staff and was discarded after a few years, we spent a few thousand and got something that served for over ten years! Today I still use MUMPS to manipulate data sets that others seem unable to deal with using sexy, "modern" tools. To be sure, the basic MUMPS terminal interface is not pretty or sexy, but the language has powerful string manipulation capability, and the database is wickedly fast, and because of the sparse arrays it occupies minimal space on disk. Thus I can carry around an entire large hospital database on a laptop! Try that with one of the "modern" RDBs.
I use both Caché and GT.M, and other than the fact that I have to pay for multiuser capacity on one of them but not the other, they both work fine. And both expose their data and string handling to graphical programming tools that do look modern and sexy - so we can make the users out there happy with appearance as well as performance.
"Modern and sexy" clearly apply to a new Porsche, but under the hood is an engine running on the Otto cycle, developed in 1876. Sure, there are newer alternatives like gas turbines and rotary engines, but the Otto cycle engine is in that Porsche, or Lamborghini - you name it - because it still works for the application at a (sometimes) reasonable price. That's why MUMPS is still the engine under the hood of so many high-performance data systems: it works outstandingly well, and at a cost that makes economic sense.
When you said "carry the entire hospital database around on a laptop" I couldn't help but think of all the news stories where such laptops were lost or left in taxis. I hope you at least encrypt the disk.
Thanks for the great article! I started using MUMPS 20 years ago (Epic Systems) and enjoyed it immensely.
In 2011 I began developing a Java Framework around MUMPS (focus on GT.M but should port to Caché fine). I love the flexibility of MUMPS data storage and indexing - but I like my web server and most business logic to be in Java.
My framework is still in the early phases of development. But anyone interested should check it out here http://www.divconq.com/ .
LOL - April fools day is next month guys.
This is an antique total timewaster that will merely soil your brain. Go learn "Perl" or something else useful, that really is used in Banks etc nowdays
(and yes - I work in a bank).
MUMPS is used in banks (GT.M targets that market) as well as credit unions. I believe Caché is used at TD Ameritrade.
Guess the healthcare industry is not useful enough.
Well done you "Unidentified " - you work in a bank and you know perl - which of course is one of those new generation languages and the banks love it for is ease of use and the way it can handle millions of customers data in a heartbeat....
Mumps still has it's place and for any one to disregard it based on its age clearly needs to go read some more brochures.
Rejecting something based on its age does injustice to our elders in a human sense and to other items in a DP sense:
. Unix and its descendants (Linux, BSD, etc)
. C++, C# and other descendants of C
. Lisp/Scheme/etc, which is still alive and kicking and whose traits are showing up in newer languages
eXist DB and native XML database may be an alternative. Markmail uses this and the performance using Xquery is worth reviewing. This would allow SOA and restful web services where other web based technologies could be used...
Wow! Blast from the past. I worked with all the biggies in the MUMPS world back in the day; InterSystems, DEC, and Greystone.
MUMPS has a lot of cool features that even today sound advanced, but the 1970's they were just unbelievable. e.g. it's typeless; everything is a string; we didn't call it that at the time, but it's almost object oriented, if A="1.2" and B="3.4" then A+B="4.6" but if you concatenate them (I forget the syntax) it's "1.23.4"
Also, a program's code was stored in the database, *and could be modified by itself*! Yes, code was data, and data could be code. a *lot* of MUMPS code out there forms a string of code and then executes it. Wild, wild stuff.
As for it looking old, yeah I guess it does. But look at "Pig" for Hadoop. It has a decidedly retro feel to it. MUMPS will fit right in!
I look forward to the rest of the articles!

Seems like MUMPS is more of a scripting shell / environment pasted on top of an SQL server or similar, rather than a "language" as such. It seems like you could easily write a series of MUMPS scripts and call/control them from a BASH environment on a Linux host, or even via cgi/java scripts from an HTML server.
It's sweet spot would seem to be making it a bit easier to create and interface to an arbitrary-content relational database.
It actually doesn't seem too different to me from the icicle scripts we used to write to access our db at work.
Do not mistake maturity of a method with feebleness. I code in C and assembly often; there is power at the base of the pyramid.
"Seems like MUMPS is more of a scripting shell / environment pasted on top of an SQL server or similar," - could not be any further from the truth ! I started off writing for DEC PDP/11 and VAX/VMS where on the PDP MUMPS was the operating system (search for DEC DSM) !!! Its the language and the database with its storage being Hierarchical l as opposed to structured (SQL) - and later in life it got SQL layers to be compatible with more of the "Business objects" applications, but usually the data was still Hierarchical with data-mapping going on behind the SQL scenes (anyone remember EDA-SQL?). On VMS & Unix it even had direct interfaces to TCP/IP sockets where things got really interesting as it opening up a whole new world. Back in late 90's (according to the google groups post feb 1998) I had it running webservices straight from the database engine.
I can name banks, trading floors, solicitors, supermarkets, high street retailers, insurance brokers who all use it.

You bet the disk was encrypted, with a very hard password. As were the files themselves.
And handcuffed to my ankle as well.
The point I was making, however, was just how compact on disk a MUMPS database is. I'm talking about 20 years of data for an 800 bed hospital. And not just the data, but all the routines that manipulate those data. Maybe compact is an understatement, but storage costs are obviously minimized.
I have been a MUMPS, M, CacheScript programmer since 1985, starting at the VA in Providence, RI work with Fileman on the DHCP software. Moved to Fileman and CHCS for the military, then Kaiser Permanente and MIIS'ised version of MUMPS, on to Fileman and RPMS with the Indian Health Service, now IDX and EPIC. A long road and all MUMPS or M or CacheScript. To say the language is not important is not accurate, I have seen it change over the years and when Intersystems finally broke the MDC gidlock I was very happy becase the language was modernised. Reading these comments shows me that some of you have no clue about the language or the database it works with. Without the language and the DB being integrated the way they are it would not have survied as long as it has, don't try to separate them it is the complete environment for doing the kind of systems it is used for. And it is fast, fast, fast. I am amased at how responsive it is from web sites I have developed (not using CSP but Cache side HTTP server routines).
Interesting Site I would like to see more.
Some 15 years ago i started my computer science studies, I was around 20 yrs then. I learned c,c++,java and some scripting like HTML,javascript etc and little introduction to Database concepts.But then I had lot of setbacks in life, during which i had to stop any computer science studies/work or usage.
Now, if I have to learn 'M' programming,MUMPS, to be able to implement it in organization, ---How long would it take me?--- plus i would need minimum 6 month to brush up my previously learned comuter skills.
I think,given my situation, any programmer guide would suggest me to just forget about programming. What you people suggest?
I used to teach web development at a local tech college (and I've used M quite a lot), so I've fielded questions like this often.
Assuming you did well with programming 15 years ago, your challenge will not be brushing up your skills so much as finding a job. If you do want a job in software development you'll probably face a lot of competition from people with recent experience.
One of the best ways to subvert this is to find a niche and learn it. Just for example, learn WorldVistA (http://www.worldvista.org/) which includes MUMPS and some new fun stuff like nodeJS. I'm not sure what the market is like for WorldVistA at the moment - so don't take it too literally - just try to find a niche that is not over populated and become good at it.
Another approach would be to take on little web development projects. It can be hard to make good money - especially without a portfolio - but there are plenty of web design firms out there that need a hand in the site coding (probably PHP and MySQL though, not so much MUMPS).
Having just a language skill alone (just Java, just MUMPS, etc) without a niche or a portfolio is hard to sell. a) how do they know you are good, b) many other people have language skills but not the knowledge of a specific area.
If programming comes naturally to you, then MUMPS itself is quite easy to learn. It is unlike many databases, so there is a hump, but once you understand globals and what $o, $d and $q do then you have what it takes. You may consider my intro - 4 posts on M at http://www.divconq.com/home/getting-started/ - but there are plenty of other intros out there too.

Techniques for Signaling and Service Discovery in DVB-H Networks
Väre, Jani
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2011-04-08
Language: en
Pages: 69
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication; 957
Supervisor: Loula, Pekka
Opponent: Vuorimaa, Petri; Paavola, Jarkko
University: Tampere University of Technology

Department: Tampere University of Technology, Pori
Mobile TV was a service concept first adopted by the Japanese ISDB-T standard and soon afterwards it was adopted by the European DVB standard. In the context of DVB, specific standard branch, Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld (DVB-H) was developed. The DVB-H was tailored for the delivery of IP based services to the handheld devices over DVB network. Furthermore, it was developed as backwards compatible with the DVB-T and hence enabled reuse of the existing network infrastructure used for the DVB-T. Time Slicing, MPE-FEC and enhanced signaling are the main elements which make DVB-H different when compared to DVB-T. This thesis was done in two parts. In the first part the signaling and service discovery of DVB-H in mobile environment is investigated by using traditional scientific engineering methods. The focus in the first part is in the basic principles of the service discovery and soft handover in DVB-H. The second part of the thesis deals with the robustness of link layer signaling transmission in DVB-H. The robustness is investigated by means of theoretical analysis, simulations and laboratory measurements. The main results of this thesis can be summarized as follows: 1. Definition of new PSI/SI and TPS signaling elements in DVB-H and IPDC over DVB-H standards [34], [39], [47] 2. PSI/SI Transmission optimization and configuration recommendations provided as input to the DVB-H Implementation Guidelines [38].

The 4-year-old Buffalo girl cried too much and, because of that, was repeatedly attacked and bitten by her mother's boyfriend, authorities said Tuesday.
And it was only by chance, police say, that the girl survived.
After receiving a complaint that children were residing in a West Side home where alleged drug dealing was occurring, Erie County Child Protective Services workers found the girl nearly unconscious from internal bleeding a week ago, according to Buffalo Sex Offense Squad detectives.
"The child was in a lethargic state. If the CPS workers hadn't shown up, she probably would have died from internal bleeding. That's what the doctor told us," said Detective Jacqueline Sullivan, a member of the Sex Offense Squad.
The girl has begun to recover and she is in stable condition.
Ediberto Rodriguez, 25, is accused of biting the girl some 20 times all over her body, slamming her into a wall and throwing her down a flight of stairs.
The attacks, which began March 22 and continued through March 25, were so fierce, according to Sullivan and Detective Karyn DiPaolo, that the child's spleen was crushed, her pancreas damaged and the right side of her pelvis cracked. In addition, hemorrhaging occurred in her mouth, ears and neck.
The girl's mother told The Buffalo News late Tuesday she had no idea Rodriguez was harming her daughter.
"I didn't know this was going on. I trusted him with my daughter. I didn't think he would do something like this to her. I never saw it happen. If I did, I would have stopped it," the mother said, adding that the attacks must have occurred while she was out running errands. "I'm hoping my daughter will be able to come home next week."
Rodriguez is no stranger to the detectives who, in addition to sexual assaults, investigate attacks on children. Last summer, he struck his 10-month-old son so hard in the head that Detective Natalie Perez placed a child endangerment charge against him.
Rodriguez appeared in Buffalo City Court on March 15, pleaded guilty to harassment and was conditionally discharged. A week later, he allegedly began the series of attacks on the girl because she would cry, Sullivan and DiPaolo said. The girl's twin sister was not harmed. The mother, twins and boyfriend resided in a home on the 1200 block of West Avenue.
CPS workers, responding to a tip about drug dealing at the home March 26, summoned an ambulance to rush the critically injured child to the pediatric intensive care unit at Women & Children's Hospital.
Sullivan and DiPaolo charged Rodriguez on Friday with second-degree assault.
"We believe there were multiple attacks between March 22 and March 25, and there are indications that she was injured by him a month ago from the bruises on her body," Sullivan said.
Perez had been searching for Rodriguez since early July, when she had investigated a complaint that he had assaulted his infant son. She caught up with him last November in Erie County Family Court after he had been summoned there by CPS workers, also investigating the July incident.
Rodriguez is now being held in the Erie County Holding Center in lieu of $400,000 bail and is scheduled to return to Buffalo City Court on Thursday.
This latest case comes only weeks after two high-profile child abuse fatalities in March. In those cases, two toddler boys – one in Brant, the other in Springville – were beaten to death, and their mothers' boyfriends were charged. One of the boyfriends told authorities that he struck the 1-year-old boy because he was crying.

quote: um if you're running an AC unit into your computer I think condensation is going to be another part of your troubles.
quote: Am I missing something here?
quote: The basic problem is such engines have difficulty varying their power level while still remaining efficient.
quote: I don't think so. Let's be honest. First of all an axial fan (as small as that one) can't really create any pressure at all. In the picture there's a big gap between the heatsink and the fan. There's no way that fan can really move air through that heatsink without ridiculous rpm (and noise).
quote: And of course the mechanical energy is converted right back into heat in the operation of the fan -- the second law of thermodynamics.
quote: the heat generated from the motion of the air itself will exactly equal the energy used to power the fan. Inescapable.
quote: This is awesome, I can't believe no one thought of this before. The speed of the fan will be dictated by the heat of the chip--a perfect relationship. Because it takes 70% of thermal energy and converts it to kinetic, that's a 70% reduction in heat on the chip, in all theory. Have to see how well it does in practice of course, but a very nifty idea.

Rushed city ice hockey plan gets predictable results
January 27, 2013
So the hockey team in the city folded up at the end of the season, leaving Airmen Pond at Bowman Field empty and $36,000-plus in unpaid utility bills....
Whose name is the utilities in? I loved the ads they ran on wilq "they are your Williamsport outlaws" the name outlaws sure has come to mean something here lol
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This was rushed through by the administration at city hall. Whatever made them think anyone would want to sit outside in freezing temperatures to watch hockey? Also, the price per ticket started out at $14.00 per ticket, dropped to $10.00, and ended up at $7.00 per ticked. This should have been the first indication that there was a problem. With the state of the current ecomony, public officials need to scrutinize every purchase that it made and justify cost to the taxpayers. Sure hope the taxpayers of Williamsport don't get stuck with this utility bill.

Libya, 'Hostilities,' the Office of Legal Counsel, and the Process of Executive Branch Legal Interpretation
Trevor W. Morrison
New York University School of Law
June 24, 2011
Harvard Law Review Forum, Vol. 124, p. 62, 2011
Columbia Public Law Research Paper No. 11-276
The Obama Administration has faced substantial criticism for both the substance of, and the process leading to, its conclusion that U.S. military involvement in Libya does not constitute "hostilities" for purposes of the War Powers Resolution. This short essay focuses on the process question. Although press reports depict a highly anomalous decision-making process - especially as relates to the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) - it is not yet clear that those reports offer a completely accurate picture of what happened. Here I discuss what an appropriate process would have been, and underscore the short- and long-run institutional costs to the White House of departing from that process. In the course of doing so I also say a few things about my ongoing exchange with Bruce Ackerman over legal interpretation in the executive branch.

MAYVILLE – The North Collins fire chief was charged with felony driving while intoxicated after he allegedly backed into another vehicle in the parking lot of the Lakeview Hotel in Mayville early Sunday, the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office reported.
Michael F. Mooney, 58, who had two prior DWI convictions and had a revoked license, was located a short time after the accident at the hotel lot. Deputies found him parked on Route 394, sitting behind the wheel. Authorities found him to be intoxicated and arrested him.
Mooney's vehicle was supposed to be equipped with an ignition lock device but wasn't, officials said. He refused to submit to chemical tests.
Mooney was charged with felony DWI, felony aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, operating a vehicle without ignition interlock, leaving the scene of a property damage accident and parking on a highway.
He was arraigned in the Town of Stockton Court. He spent one day in the Chautauqua County Jail before posting $10,000 cash bond on Monday.
North Collins Mayor Vincent George said village officials were in "total shock" about the incident. George said they did not know about Mooney's prior convictions or the fact that his license had been revoked.
Mooney technically remains chief of the volunteer fire department, George said, but assistant chiefs have been filling in for him.
Mooney operated his own private vehicle for fire-related work, George said, and was not believed to have operated fire trucks for the department.

Well, she did want to be Hello, Kitty for Halloween.
Ivy is doing great. She got six stitches in her lip after some bedtime ballyhoo. You see, she has this routine of slipping out from under the covers after I tuck her in to give one more round of goodnight kisses. This night she just didn't make it back to her bed so safely.
We have an appointment to have the stitches checked and removed on Friday with a new-to-us doctor. Ours was over an hour away and moved offices even farther west. This new one came recommended by a friend and my phone call to them went something like this: Hi, are you taking new patients with a natural approach to health care? Also, we don't vaccinate. All good. So, can you take out my daughter's stitches this Friday?
We are hoping the wound heals up nice and clean on its own and over the next six months we can see what kind of scar (if any) is left. After that we can consider plastic surgery if needed.
Everyone in the E.R. made up over Ivy's blue eyes and how good she was. She was so still and also talked their ears off. Once we got home, however, she was back to her wild ways and has me seriously considering bubble wrap for the next small style. Do they make it for a mama's heart?

Ft. Sheridan's history is closely tied to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Lt. Gen. Philip Sheridan was put in charge of settling the unrest after the fire. Members of the Commercial Club which represented Chicago businessmen petitioned to establish an artillery school and military installation north of Chicago for their safety. Ft. Sheridan is now a beautiful forest preserve with rolling terrain, bluffs and ravines full of rich history. Trails wind through the preserves for outdoor enthusiasts or tour groups may take a walking or motorcoach windshield tour of the preserve.
CITY:Fort Sheridan
The Chicago Botanic Garden opened a little more than 40 years ago as a beautiful place to visit, and it has matured into one of the world's great living museums and conservation science centers. Each year, nearly one million people visit the Garden's 26 gardens and four natural areas, uniquely situated on 385 acres of land on and around nine islands. Six miles of shoreline extend along 81 acres of water, including the Great Basin, North Lake, and Skokie River Corridor. The Garden also has a renowned Bonsai Collection.
Want to relive Ferris Bueller's Day Off? Then visit this North Shore beach that was featured in the hit flick.
The Chicago Botanic Garden Loop offers a moderate level of difficulty to those wanting to experience quiet beauty in far north Cook County. The 385-acre garden is home to 2.4 million plants and is one of the most visited gardens in the country. Hiking will take you 4.5 hours and with almost 7 miles of trails, mostly paved you will get to experience both the lagoons and the Botanic Garden.
Nature is wonderfully displayed in this silent forest that glaciers carved thousands of years ago. The prairie extends along the riverbanks, rich in plant and animal life.
