Teen Blog
Having trouble picking a good book for the summer? Relax and let the diligent Cafe Book readers help you out! 450 students from eight middle schools across
This is Week 3 of a 12-Week series of blog posts reviewing new young adult books. Check back each Monday for a new review.
"Where they burn books, they will end by burning human beings." - Heinrich Heine
This is the opening quote in Ashes, the story of thirteen-year-old Gabrielle Schramm who is living in Berlin in 1932 during the turbulent days of Hitler's rise to power.
Hitler has not yet seized control when the story begins, but there are signs of what's to come. Sightings of Hitler's private army and his personal guard, the "SA" and the "SS," are becoming more frequent, as are attacks on Jewish neighborhoods, businesses and synagogues.
For the most part, Garbrielle is a typical thirteen-year-old girl. She goes to school, talks about movies and movie stars with her best friend Rosa, and occasionally gets in trouble at school for having her nose stuck in a book during math class. Gabrielle is a serious book lover. Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Helen Keller, Mark Twain ... she devours them all. She's already lost two of her treasured books to her math teacher Herr Doktor Berg.

Whether you call them graphic novels or comic books, adventure stories told with a lot of pictures are a fun way to laze away a hot summer afternoon. You can journey on the high seas with Greek heroes, go on the hunt for Bigfoot, outwit forty thieves, or find your own way in a Twisted Journey with these colorful tales. The CRRL has many from which to choose, but this sampling is a good place to begin:

This is Week 2 of a 12-Week series of blog posts reviewing new young adult books. Check back each Monday for a new review.
Jem has a secret. When she looks into someone's eyes, a number appears in her head. But not just any number - it's the date of their death. She has seen the numbers ever since she was a little girl, but she didn't know what they meant until her own mother died of an overdose. Since then, Jem has had a rough life, being thrown out of one foster home after another, labeled as a problem kid in school and put in "special" classes. She has built an impenetrable wall around herself so she doesn't have to see anyone's number, and no one so far has been able to be close to her. Until Spider.
Spider is an impossible tall, fidgety boy from school, who Jem runs into one day while skipping class. Through different events they become close, and Jem realizes that she has let herself care about someone for the first time since her mother's death. One day they go together to see the London Eye, when Jem notices something disconcerting. She sees the same death date in every tourist's eyes. Unnerved, she grabs Spider's hands and convinces him to run away from the London Eye, which explodes shortly thereafter. They are caught on security camera fleeing from the scene and are considered suspects. All of a sudden - Jem and Spider, two "troubled" kids from London's projects, are on the run.

This year, we're wearing pink - one of my favorite colors - and will be representing 8-11 year old girls from all over the Portland metro area as we power our way along the parade route to our 3.1-mile-long goal.
This is my fourth time as a running buddy and I absolutely love it. I wish I had been able to participate in this type of program when I was young - it's inspiring to see the ways in which the young runners work in their own personal ways towards the finish line.
If you're interested in learning more about becoming a running buddy, coach, or sponsor, please email email@example.com.
My buddy recently sent me a thank-you card (well, her coach sent it to me - Girls on the Run is cool like that) that pretty much says it all about why it's so fun to be a running buddy:

How little the general public knows about the tremendous effort that's made each school day to get 24 million children to school and home. If they knew how much teamwork, coordination and planning (and sweat and elbow grease) are necessary to keep the nation's fleet of 450,000 buses in good working order, they would be amazed!
We often talk about the tremendous efforts of school bus drivers — heightened recently by the tragic slaying of the driver in Tennessee — but we often forget to applaud the efforts of the shop staff. Working behind the scenes, mechanics and their supervisors rarely get served with the recognition they so richly deserve.
Fully deserved recognition
That's why we continue our efforts to feature some of these fine people in this issue. Our "Top 10 Maintenance Programs" article has become an annual showcase for exemplary school bus shops around the nation. Please take a few minutes to read this special section. And don't forget to look closely at the photos, most of which feature a proud staff of maintenance employees.
In this issue, we also feature our annual maintenance survey. This year's research presents numerous interesting findings. Among them, the fact that fewer than a third of school bus fleets have a formal maintenance training program is surprising, but not necessarily dismaying.
As I've said before, we should provide as much training as we can to all school transportation employees. Whether it's a formal program or something less structured doesn't matter so much as long as it addresses all gaps in the education of your employees.
In this year's survey we asked you about the greatest challenges you face in the shop and here are some of your answers:
See a thread here? I obviously pulled comments on the same topic. However, there's a concern here. If this industry isn't supplying its mechanics with the training they need to maintain electronic engines, transmissions, antilock braking systems and multiplexing, they're going to struggle in the years ahead.
Training can't be ignored
What we need to do is take advantage of all training opportunities that are out there. Some community colleges offer classes in diesel engine technology and antilock braking systems. As much as possible, mechanics should be encouraged to take these courses. If you can cover the cost of the course, even better.
Also, don't be afraid to check with your bus dealers. Whether it's a half-day seminar on a chassis or engine topic or a two-hour in-service on maintaining a wheelchair lift, vendor training can be invaluable. Check with other local school bus operators to see if you can coordinate a joint training session.
Attending state and national pupil transportation conferences is also a big help. Most of them have trade shows that encourage an exchange of information between customer and vendor. Fight to go to these shows, especially the National Association for Pupil Transportation's annual conference and trade show in November.

Sadly, I haven't managed to get out for a walk this weekend. All the trails around here close at sundown, which is entirely too early this time of year. I did go grocery shopping today, so at least I did something useful. Hopefully I'll get a little more exercising in next week.
I was down another pound this morning. Yay!

Bangladesh has made great strides in expanding its power distribution network, but with an ever-growing population, the country can only produce about two-thirds of its electricity demand. While plans to boost energy production will increase greenhouse gas emission, Bangladesh is the first country to sign a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Government under the "Enhancing Capacity for Low Emission Development Strategies" initiative.
USAID promotes improved efficiency in energy generation, bolster regulation of emissions, and expand the use of clean and renewable sources of energy, including solar and wind power. We also partner with the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves to introduce more energy efficient cook-stoves that produce significantly less pollution.
Through the South Asia Regional Initiative for Energy Integration program, USAID has also been promoting regional energy cooperation since 2001. Over the years, the partnership has built up an extensive network and has identified potential power transmission connections between the countries of the region. Bangladesh and India established one such linkage in 2013, from which Bangladesh is now importing 500 megawatts of electricity.
In 2014, USAID programs in Bangladesh:
- Reduced carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions by more than 325,000 metric tons.
- Installed more than 30,000 solar energy home systems.

Kids First member and Board Vice President Ruth McAllister and I both agree that the current Board of Education budget has sky-rocketed to $64 million dollars for 3,100 children. However, a closer look at the numbers reveal some interesting observations.
Of that out of control $64 million, $7.8 million goes to the charter schools and $10.2 million goes to Hoboken's state-mandated and funded pre-K programs. Currently there are about 757 students in Hoboken's charter schools and 746 students in the state-mandated and funded pre-K program for a total of 1,503 children not serviced by the Hoboken public school district.
That leaves $46 million dollars for 1,597 students serviced by the traditional Hoboken pubic schools. When separated in this manner, the numbers reveal charters are spending about $10,300 per student and the state-mandated and funded pre-K program is costing about $13,670 per student.
But Ruth McAllister and her Kids First team is spending $46 million for about 1,600 students or $28,750 per student. No wonder the Kids First majority refused to have the taxpayers of Hoboken vote for a budget this year.
The spending and capital improvements Ruth points to have always been a part of spending in the Hoboken schools. While I was on the Board of Education, Calabro School underwent a complete renovation, and we initiated the IB Program, Culinary Program, the EMS Program and the Cosmetology Program and I did it for less cost with better test scores.
Hoboken deserves leaders that are driven by accountability, not spin. That's why I am supporting James Gilbarty (1i) and Natalie Rivera (4i) for Hoboken Board of Education, and running with the One Hoboken ticket of Tim Occhipinti for Mayor (1J), as well as Peter Biancamano (6k) and Britney Montgomery Cook (7K) for City Council. Together we will stop the divisive politics that continue to hurt our community and create One Hoboken that is inclusive of all the people. I hope we can count on you.

The Son I Never Knew
As a Young Man, Comedian Jay Thomas Put His Baby Boy Up for Adoption. More Than Two Decades Later, His Son Found Him—and They Became Family
Thomas had arrived there after a long and emotional journey. Twenty-eight years earlier, the Emmy-winning Thomas, who has since appeared on Cheers and Murphy Brown, was just getting his career off the ground when a girlfriend, who does not wish to be identified, became unexpectedly pregnant. They agonized over what to do. Get married? Terminate the pregnancy? "Everything was on the table," says Thomas. Eventually they made the excruciating decision to give the baby boy up for adoption. "It was painful," he says. "We talked about getting married, but I realized that we would have the kid and then get divorced, and I didn't want that. I didn't want him to be mixed up in a bad situation that was not of his making."
The boy was raised in Michigan by the Hardings and was given the name John Thomas. Ironically, he was called JT—the same initials as his biological father's. "There was a time when I told kids that my biological father was this policeman who saved a city down south," says Harding, now 28. "I also used to tell girls that I thought he could be David Lee Roth."
In 1997 Harding moved to Los Angeles to make it as a musician. It was then he decided to track down his biological parents. "I never felt a loneliness or a longing for this unknown parent," he says. "I have two incredible parents and a great brother. But I was always curious." He didn't expect that the man he was looking for was, literally, right outside his door. At the time, Thomas had one of the top radio shows in Los Angeles, complete with a huge billboard on Hollywood Boulevard, not far from struggling Harding's apartment. "Out of my apartment window every day, I would see Jay's face," Harding says.
When Harding learned, after he tracked down his biological mom, that according to her his dad was "not normal like the rest of us," he didn't know what to expect. "I thought he was in jail or something," says Harding. "She told me no, that he was an actor who had been on the show Cheers. So for a minute I thought my biological father was Ted Danson. I was like, 'I'm rich!'"
Thomas, who now lives in Santa Barbara with his wife, Sally, and teenage sons Sam, 17, and Jake, 15, felt conflicted when Harding first contacted him. "I was afraid of the responsibility I would feel," he says. "I really didn't want him to be some angry, screwed-up guy who was blaming me for crap in his life. I would have gone, 'You know what? You're probably right.'"
But when they met over burgers, not only was Thomas struck by how happy and well-balanced Harding seemed, but with how much they had in common. They had the same build, the same nonstop, staccato way of speaking. And, most notably, the same caustic sense of humor.
"He told me, 'If you had an earring in your nose and a green Mohawk, you wouldn't be hanging out in this big nice house of mine,'" says Harding, a singer and songwriter who now lives in Nashville when not on tour with his band JTX. "I told him, 'Well if you didn't have a big nice house, I wouldn't be hanging out with you.' I mean, how many times can I watch the Murphy Brown DVDs over here?"
The two became fast friends—though, out of respect for the families on both sides, at first they didn't reveal much about their connection. "I told people he was my nephew or my cousin or my lover, depending who we were meeting," jokes Thomas. Eventually they came up with words to describe their unique bond. "It took some time, but it started happening naturally," says Harding. "He started saying, 'This is my oldest son,' and I would say, 'This is my biological father.'" Still, Harding reserves the name Dad for Larry Harding, the man who raised him and passed away last year. "No one can ever replace my dad," says Harding. "But I am so lucky that I had the ultimate backup plan."

In the aftermath of the earthquake
by Washington State Emergency Management
The following is an Earthquake Preparedness Home Checklist, for those who want to be ready in case of another quake in our area.
Place beds so that they are not: next to large windows, right below hanging lights, right below heavy mirrors, right below framed pictures, or right below shelves with lots of things that can fall.
Replace heavy lamps on bed tables with light, non-breakable lamps.
Change hanging plants from heavy pots into lighter pots.
Use closed hooks on hanging plants, lamps, etc.
Make sure hooks (hanging plants, lamps, etc.) are attached to studs.
Remove all heavy objects from high shelves.
Remove all breakable things from high shelves.
Replace latches, such as magnetic touch latches on cabinets, with latches that will hold during an earthquake.
Take glass bottles out of medicine cabinets and put on lower shelves. (
Parent note:
If there are small children around, make sure you use childproof latches when you move things to lower shelves.)
Remove glass containers that are around the bathtub.
Move materials that can easily catch fire so they are not close to heat sources.
Attach the water heater to the studs of the nearest wall.
Move heavy objects away from exit routes in your house.
Block wheeled objects so they cannot roll.
Attach tall heavy furniture such as bookshelves to studs in walls.
Use flexible connectors where lines connect to appliances such as stoves, water heaters, and dryers.
Attach heavy appliances such as refrigerators to studs in walls.
Nail plywood to ceiling joists to protect people from chimney bricks that could fall through the ceiling.
Fasten heavy mirrors to walls.
Fasten heavy pictures to walls.
Brace air conditioners.
Check roof tiles-make sure they are secure.
Remove dead or diseased tree limbs that could fall on the house.
Drop, cover and hold
When you feel an earthquake, drop under a desk or sturdy table. Stay away from windows, bookcases, file cabinets, heavy mirrors, hanging plants, and other objects that could fall. Watch out for falling plaster or ceiling tiles. Stay under cover until the shaking stops. Hold onto the desk or table. If it moves, move with it. Here are some additional tips for specific locations:
If you're in a high-rise building and not near a desk or table, move against an interior wall, and protect your head with your arms. Face away from windows. Do not use the elevators. Do not be surprised if alarm or sprinkler systems come on.
If you're outdoors, move to a clear area, away from trees, signs, buildings, or downed electrical wires and poles.
If you're on a sidewalk near buildings, get into a building's doorway to protect yourself from falling bricks, glass, plaster, and other debris.
If you're driving, slowly pull over to the side of the road and stop. Avoid overpasses, power lines, and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over.
If you are in a crowded store or other public place, do not rush for exits. Move away from display shelves with objects that could fall on you.
If you're in a wheelchair, stay in it. Move to cover, if possible, lock your wheels, and protect your head with your arms.
If you're in the kitchen, move away from the refrigerator, stove, and cupboards.
If you're in a stadium or theater, stay in your seat or get under it if possible, and protect your head with your arms. Do not try to leave until the shaking is over.
After an earthquake, be prepared for aftershocks, and plan where you will take cover when these occur.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Summerville resident Adelle Chellis, Dorchester Drug and Alcohol Commissions Associate Director, was across the street from the Pentagon in Washington D.C. on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
The hotel she stayed at is visible in some of the video footage from that day.
Chellis was about to leave for Summerville after spending four days at a conference at the hotel, which is directly across the interstate from the Pentagon.
Chellis says there were about 1,500 people at the conference, many from New York. There were also 22 people from South Carolina.
At first nobody knew what was going on, she said. Chellis had packed her bags and was downstairs eating breakfast, oblivious to anything that had gone wrong.
During the class one of the instructors came in and whispered something had happened and Chellis could see people buzzing around. She still didnt know what was going on.
After the second plane hit, a girl came in the class and was hysterical because the tower had been bombed or something like that, Chellis says.
A group of people attending the conference were on the top floor of the hotel when the plane that hit the Pentagon flew by.
The were like, what was that? It wasnt a bird . . . it was way too big. Then they felt the impact when it hit the Pentagon.
After the plane hit the Pentagon all conference attendees were put in the big meeting room where the conferences were held, Chellis says. Nobody was allowed to leave.
Everyone was stuck in the room from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
There were people frantic because they had loved ones in the towers, families, friends. There was no cell phone service, no phones to use.
At the same time they were evacuating people from the Pentagon into a ballroom in our hotel.
They thought other planes were heading to D.C. We didnt know if it was another one for the White House or Pentagon. Nobody knew what was going on that point.
When authorities let the group outside to get fresh air everyone was looking at what was going on at the Pentagon, Chellis says.
The smell was a horrible distinctive odor. Smoke was still rising, they were still getting people out, getting them over to the hotel.
Chellis told her husband, James Chellis, that he couldnt come from Summerville to pick her up which hed offered to do because she was in an area with lots of security guards and they werent letting anybody near the hotel.
She began speaking to bus drivers to find out if any of them could take her and the 22 others back to South Carolina. One driver, from North Charleston, said he was driving people from the Pentagon to a secure place in Virginia.
He said if you can, get outta here. You dont know what was on the plane, chemicals, whatever.
The whole thing was so surreal, being there, feeling whats going on.
Finally around 4:30 p.m., after being assertive but nice, she was able to find a bus that could take her and the other South Carolinians to Interstate-95 and drop them off, Chellis says. They finally got home around 3 a.m.
She later talked to some people who werent able to leave the capitol for more than 10 days because there was no plane or train service.
Six months later I was in New York with people who had gone through 9/11 there, policemen and fireman. They still had the ashes in the street. We went to Ground Zero. It was another surreal kind of thing, thinking we were part of this in D.C.

Mayor Nutter yesterday put more pressure on Harrisburg lawmakers, announcing that if the state doesn't approve city-budget relief, the administration will slash funding for the First Judicial District, the District Attorney's Office and the Public Defender.
"We need action, we need action now, without delay so we do not have to implement Plan C," said Nutter at a City Hall news conference.
Nutter's budget plan relies on getting state approval to increase the local sales tax by 1 cent on the dollar for five years and to change how the city's pension fund is replenished. Those moves account for $700 million over five years.

String a Slithery Snake! Activity
Kids love making patterns and they love animals. Why not combine the two to make a fun paper chain animal while teaching them about color repetition? With a little paper, some scissors and glue, this snake will come to life while your children will use their brains to explore patterns.
What You Need:
- Construction paper (in at least two colors)
- Red construction paper (for the tongue)
- Glue
- Scissors
- Wiggle eyes or markers
What You Do:
- Cut out several strips of construction paper in the colors your child chooses. They should be approximately two inches wide and eight inches long. You'll need at least 15 – 20 of them to make a nice, long slithery snake.
- Encourage your child to think about his pattern. Is he going to do blue, green, blue, green? Or maybe blue, blue, green, green? See if he can come up with his own pattern and be sure he has enough strips of paper in each color.
- Make a loop with the strip of paper and have your child glue the edges together. Then take the next piece and slide it through the circle and seal it with glue. (A glue stick works best for this because it's a lot less messy and it will dry faster.)
- Repeat this process until all the strips are sealed around each other in a chain.
- On the last ring, the face, have your child glue some googly eyes to it, or draw eyes with a marker. Then cut out the shape of a long thin snake tongue from red construction paper and glue it on for the final slithery touch.
You now have a slippery, slithery snake your child can hide under the bed or hang from the ceiling. Either way, your child will have a lot of fun while learning important skills of patterns and repetition!

Helios Tandems are designed by Circe Cycles who are based in Cambridge and use bikes as their primary transportation. Circe wanted to design a bike to address some of the shortcomings they found by just using single bikes and tandems using 700c wheels.
Riding as a couple or as a family on single bikes is always difficult. Whether through differences in strength or experience, a potentially pleasurable experience can often become frustrating.
Helios Tandems Tandems go a long way to addressing this by using the commonly available 20" (ISO 406) wheel size, Circe were able to design a frame that was both compact for storage, transportation and manoeuvrability and very adaptable for different height riders - easily and quickly accommodating sizes from a small child up to a large adult.
The compact frame allowed by the small wheel design also allows a low-step-over, while the compact design provides excellent ergonomics and functionality for two people. It also enables the tandem to be easily converted into a single bike for child and freight carrying by removing the stoker seat post and handlebar a special rack designed to accept two child seats, multiple panniers or large luggage sacks can be installed.
While such remarkable versatility was foremost in the design agenda, Circe also wanted a bike that could perform at the highest level. Consequently, the frame design and geometry have been optimised for weight and performance such that the Helios also makes an excellent sports and touring bike.
Helios tandems can be ordered complete as the models shown or as a Frame + build-kit so that we can customise the complete build to further suit your needs.

Rehabilitation of the Sacroiliac Joint
The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a very irregularly shaped joint located where the ilium (hip bone) and the sacrum (tail bone) meet. The joint has very little motion; however, the limited motion it does have is very important to the proper functioning of the lumbar spine, as well as the hip.
The SI joint is susceptible to traumatic (sudden, forceful injury) and inflammatory conditions. Common causes of injury are slips or falls; however, it also can be "injured" by overuse. Overuse can result from frequent and prolonged bending or sitting for extended periods of time. Occasionally, intense pain can arise from doing something as simple as bending over to pick up a pencil or tie a shoe.
is SI joint dysfunction treated?
Treatment of SI joint dysfunction actually begins with an examination by a physician to rule out any disorders that may be serious enough to warrant surgery. Once the physician has eliminated the possibility of any serious ailments, a referral to a skilled manual physical therapist is in order to restore normal range of motion. Once normal mobility has been attained by appropriate and specific manipulation/mobilization techniques, stretching exercises are begun to maintain the mobility of the joint (Fig. 3). After the SI joint has been free of pain for a short period of time, specific strengthening exercises can be started (Figs. 4 & 5). (Figures 3, 4 and 5 can be enlarged by clicking here)
Although SI joint dysfunction is a relatively common ailment, it is frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated. Most low back problems related to joint dysfunction or weak muscles can be treated conservatively and effectively by a skilled manual physical therapist.

Password Policy
All Middlebury College students, faculty, and employees (including contractors and vendors with access to Middlebury College systems) are responsible for taking the appropriate steps, as outlined below, to select and secure their passwords. Passwords are an important aspect of computer security. They are the front line of protection for user accounts. A poorly chosen password may result in the compromise of Middlebury College's entire computer network.
This policy defines standards for creation of strong passwords, their protection, and required frequency of change. The policy applies to all individuals who have, or are responsible for, an account (or any form of access that supports or requires a password) on any system that resides at any Middlebury College facility, has access to the Middlebury College network, or stores any non-public Middlebury College information.
Standards for Creating Strong Passwords
All user-level and system-level passwords must conform to the Middlebury's Guidelines for Construction of Strong Passwords, described below.
Guidelines for Construction of Strong Passwords
Passwords are used for various purposes at Middlebury College. Some of the more common uses include: user level accounts, web accounts, email accounts and Banner logins. Since it is very easy to guess or crack certain types of passwords, everyone should be aware of how to select strong passwords.
Users must construct strong passwords with all these characteristics:
a. contain both upper and lower case characters and digits(e.g., a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
b. contain punctuation characters (listing updated 15-May-2008)
the following are acceptable:
~ ^ * _ ? \ . / ! + - { } [ ]
the following are not to be used for Middlebury's systems:
@ $ & " : ( ) , < > ` ; = | # % (and blank spaces)
c. are at least eight alphanumeric characters long
d. are not a word in any language, slang, dialect, jargon, etc.
e. are not names of famous people, characters in TV shows or movies
f. are not based on personal information, names of family, etc.
Users must avoid poor, weak passwords with any these characteristics:
a. less than eight characters long
b. a word found in a dictionary (English or foreign)
c. a common usage word
d. any representation of the user's birthday
e. the name of family, pets, friends, co-workers, fantasy characters, etc.
f. the words "Middlebury College", "middlebury", or any derivation
g. an alphabetic or numerical pattern such as aaabbb, qwerty, zyxwvuts, 123321, etc.
h. any of the above spelled backwards
i. any of the above preceded or followed by a digit (e.g., secret1, 1secret)
j. other personal information such as addresses, social security and phone numbers
A suggested way to create a password is to devise a mnemonic on a song or book title, affirmation, or other phrase. For example, passwords based on the phrase "This May Be One Way To Remember" could be "TmB1w2R!" or "Tmb1W>r~" or some other variation. NOTE: Do not use either of these examples as passwords!
Standards for Password Protection
All passwords are to be treated as sensitive, confidential Middlebury College information. Passwords must be changed on a regular basis (see Standards for Frequency of Changing Passwords).
Passwords MUST remain confidential. Users must NEVER:
a. reveal a password in an email message, instant messaging software, or other forms of electronic communication
b. reveal a password over the phone to anyone
c. reveal a password on questionnaires or security forms
d. reveal a password to anyone, including other employees or students, supervisors, administrative assistants, student workers, friends, or family members
e. reveal or talk about a password in front of others
f. hint at the format of a password (e.g., "my family name")
g. write down passwords and store them anywhere in your office or room
h. store passwords in a file on any computer system (including mobile devices) without encryption
i. use the same password for Middlebury College accounts as for non-Middlebury College access (e.g., personal internet account, option trading, electronic banking, benefits, etc.)
j. use the "Remember Password" feature of applications (e.g., Outlook, Internet Explorer, Netscape Messenger), whenever possible
No Middlebury College student or employee should ever request another member the community for a password. If someone demands a password for a College computer or account, refer them to this policy, or have them contact the ITS Help Desk email@example.com.
If an account or password is suspected to have been compromised, report the incident by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and then change ALL passwords. Passwords may be changed by visiting http://go.middlebury.edu/activate.
Standards for Frequency of Changing Passwords
Passwords for Middlebury College computer and network accounts must be changed at least every six months (for user access to the College network, e-mail, Banner, file servers, Segue and course management systems, special College web applications).
Users with administrative, system-level, or cardholder data environment access (e.g. root, local or domain administrator and enable) must change passwords at least every three months.
When possible, College computer systems will be programmed to notify users in advance that passwords are due to expire and will prompt the users to select new passwords.

A man who used an 18-month-old child as "leverage" during a Saturday night standoff with Greeley police had a protection order levied against him stemming from a previous domestic violence altercation, police records indicate.
Police arrived at around 8:45 p.m. Saturday at a house in the 1100 block of 26th Avenue to follow up on an investigation that began earlier this month.
In the earlier incident, suspect Michael Mendez, 31, allegedly climbed through a second-story balcony door, entered his ex-wife's apartment, punched her, grabbed a 10-inch kitchen knife, and said "...they will have to take me out before I go back to jail," according to an arrest affidavit.
When officers arrived Saturday night to follow up with the victim, a female later identified as Maria Mendez answered the door.
At first she denied Michael Mendez was in the apartment but, upon further questioning and after becoming increasingly upset, she confirmed the man was in the bedroom where three children were sleeping.
Police called for backup and, while waiting, they heard a noise that sounded like glass breaking from the bedroom. Maria Mendez ran toward the room, and an officer chased after her, the affidavit states.
"That's when he picked up the child, a piece of glass and used the child as leverage," Sgt. Susan West, spokeswoman for Greeley police, said Monday. "That's where the term 'hostage' came in. He was holding the baby and using it as a shield."
With a child in front of him with his right arm and holding a window frame with broken glass with his left arm, he ordered the officers to leave the residence.
The other two children who had been sleeping in the room were safely removed, police said.
Officers, still with their guns drawn, tried to negotiate with the man, who had moved around and had the glass-lined window frame close to the infant's head. He demanded police shoot and kill him, according to the affidavit.
"Even though Michael commented several times on how he was not going to hurt (the child), his actions portrayed otherwise," officers wrote in their report.
A negotiator was able to get him to drop the glass and police rushed him, grabbed the child, and worked to subdue him after deploying a Taser.
The child sustained minor injuries.
During transport to North Colorado Medical Center, the suspect made comments that he was going to kill his ex-wife when he gets out of jail, the affidavit states.
Mendez, a known gang member, has a lengthy history of both misdemeanor and felony crimes in Weld County, records show.
In addition to the Feb. 7 altercation at the home, Mendez was involved in a police pursuit with a child in the vehicle. And in 2011, Mendez was charged with misdemeanor assault, to which he pleaded guilty in 2012.
Multiple other assault, domestic violence, and traffic and alcohol-related charges in Weld County appear on his record dating as far back as 1999.
He was arrested Saturday on suspicion of felony burglary stemming from the Feb. 7 incident as well as multiple misdemeanor counts of child abuse, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief and violation of a protection order.
No formal charges have yet been filed, and a bond hearing is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, the Weld District Attorney's Office said.

In Oakland, Calif., there are a lot of homicides especially for a fairly small city of about 400,000 people. Last July, there were seven homicides in seven days. Victims ranged in age from 15 to 84. Six of them occurred near the school where I taught. One was a friend of many of my former students and a cousin of a little girl I mentor.
Friends of the victim memorialized him on Facebook. Some talked about wanting to leave Oakland because of the violence. My 9-year-old mentee said that while her cousin was killed, she had no feelings about it and didn't want to talk about it, ever.
I've seen a lot of young people grieve losses and traumas.
I've learned a lot since I started teaching in Oakland 13 years ago, but I still do not know how to most effectively deal with these situations. I have compassion. My heart breaks every time, but it's impossible to make things better or guarantee it will never happen again. All I can do is be present, listen, and give hugs if wanted. Although there have been far too many incidents to remember, a few stand out.
In my second year of teaching, a third-grader saw her cousin shot in the face by a rival gang member. My student came to school the next day. Her body shook uncontrollably and I didn't know what to do except to let her write and draw and talk to me when she wanted. There were no funds for a counselor at the school.
Two years later, the father of one of my students was stabbed to death in his apartment. The student, again, came to school the next day. When I tried to get help on how to deal with it, the administrator pointed out that at least the student hadn't lived with his father—as if this lessened the trauma. The student never mentioned his father's death.
Another year passed, in class we were reading a humorous story about a cowboy who owed some debt collectors and got out of paying the debt by playing dead and scaring the debt collectors in the graveyard. We worked to connect readings to real life. One of my students told me about his uncle, who was killed by someone trying to collect on a debt.
Some of these kids could speak about trauma without appearing to have any emotions. Others broke down hysterically. I still grieve when a kid loses someone to a violent death. At some point, it might be easy to get jaded and think that it's just something that happens in certain areas. It's a tragedy every time and doesn't make sense. As teachers, we can be a pillar of support and stay consistent when the world does not seem to make sense. We can be someone who students can talk to when everyone else in their life is confused and angry, and we can grieve alongside them.

i am an 8th grader, 13 years
i am an 8th grader, 13 years old. I never really understood life until now. I leraned that it's very precious, and not to take it for granted. you can die any day, any hour, any minute, any second. That's what i fear the most. If i take care of myself though, i know i still have a long life ahead of me. Ilearned to make the best out of every moment, to live as if i will die today, and to learn as if i will live forever. most importantly thogh, i learned that the purpose of life, is a life of purpose, and that's something i will teach forever. Thanks for the heartbreaking story, which made me realize how important life really is. -Aaliyah Hunter
Dear Bronwyn, Thanks for your
Dear Bronwyn,
Thanks for your blog post. I also teach in Oakland, and relate all too well to these stories. I'm in my eighth year and struggling with the effects of vicarious trauma. I wonder how to be a "pillar of support" without crumbling at home. I'm afraid the lack of funding for counseling services is rampant in our district and in our broke state and teacher are being expected to take on more and more. I often joke that I should have an honorary MSW for all of the counseling and social work that I do on a daily basis. I wonder: how do you KEEP doing this work without feeling broken?
Oh, it's hard. I'm about to
Oh, it's hard. I'm about to write a blog about leaving OUSD actually, for all those reasons. The biggest thing is to have enough support for yourself. Make sure you have friends, family, or some kind of community to support YOU.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Shannon Smith drove off from a service station without paying for a tank of gas, something the mentally disabled man had done on other occasions.
In the past, he usually returned to pay for the fuel. But this time, July 24, police gave chase. Hours later, the 27-year-old Smith was dead, shot in the back as he sat behind the wheel of his car, boxed in by police vehicles.
Now prosecutors say the part-time policeman who killed Smith went beyond the bounds of justifiable use of force. Officer Jeffrey Gabor, 23, was charged Thursday with first- and second-degree murder and ordered held on $500,000 bond.
"This is just such a tragedy from beginning to end, and it's hurt a lot of people," said Judy Widman, assistant manager at the gas station in Chenoa, where the incident began. "It's still hurting a lot of people."
Widman said Friday that she isn't sure whether the charge against Gabor is justified because she doesn't understand exactly what happened - and in that she isn't alone.
McLean County State's Attorney Charles Reynard has refused to discuss exactly what happened, as have investigators. It was unclear Friday whether Gabor had an attorney who could comment.
What is known is that police were called when Smith drove off from the Citgo station in Chenoa, about 25 miles north of Bloomington, without paying for $15.05 in gas. Officers from three agencies began a chase after he was spotted about an hour later.
Witnesses said the officers boxed his vehicle in at a bridge with their vehicles, then fired more than 20 shots - mostly at the tires of Smith's car - after Smith backed into an unoccupied police car while trying to get away.
Construction workers nearby said one officer fired through the back window of the car. A coroner's report said Smith died of five gunshot wounds to the back.
State law says an officer may use potentially deadly force "only when he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself" or another person.
Officials at the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board said Gabor has worked as an officer in the small town of Hudson since December 1996, and became certified as a part-time officer in April 1998 after completing essentially the same training as full-time officers, including weapons and use of force training.
To those who knew Smith, there has been no question that something outside the bounds of the law happened. Wes Johnson, who lives across the street from the mobile home Smith rented in the tiny community of Weston just east of Chenoa, described Smith as "a 13-year-old kid in a 27-year-old body" and said Gabor should have been arrested sooner.
"That's what everybody around here was hoping for, to see something done about this so it doesn't happen again," he said.
One unanswered question is why the chase began in the first place. Chenoa Police Chief Ron Corrie said Smith had been reported for driving off without paying for gas several times, but was never prosecuted.
"This is the first time we tried to catch him to do anything about it," he said. Corrie would not say why officers chose to pursue Smith this time.
Bob Wicker, who lives next door to Smith's mobile home, said a Chenoa officer was in the driveway waiting for Smith to come home when the shooting occurred. Wicker said the officer told him he planned to quietly arrest Smith at the front door.
"I don't understand how the situation could get so violent over $15 worth of gas," Wicker said.

when is it "safe" to announce
This is my second baby but son is almost 6 so its been awhile. Just asking opinions. I know theres no right or wrong
Married to the love of my life.
Mother to Jillian Judith born 9/24/09
Glad things are going well for you! I shared early with my close family (early as in ..I took a pregnancy test that day and called my Mom)....mostly out of shock because I have never been pregnant on my own..always through IVF. And if something happens, well then I'll just have to tell people but that's okay.
I've had to do that before (my 1st pregnancy ended in a D&C) and it was after I saw a heartbeat a few times.
Like you said there is no right or wrong. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
Cindy, Married to DH Rob since 9/19/98

Supermom- BIG. little.
"Please, Jenna can't hear us, she's blind."-- Hanna Marin
This is a very personal decision, but my husband and I will be announcing around 13-14 weeks, depending on how our NT scan goes. If we need further testing, we would wait even longer. We have told a couple people, including my mom and stepdad.
Married my best friend 4/10/10
Baby #1 on the way! EDD: 10/22/13!!
We told close family around 9 weeks, but I was so paranoid about miscarriage that my husband was banned from telling anyone else until I said so. I told my closest friends around 12 weeks, but I didn't tell most others until 18 weeks. I didn't even tell my coworkers until 27 weeks! That was more because I knew they were really going to annoy me once they knew :) I'm 33 weeks now and couldn't stay in the closet if I tried.
We both told a couple of our closest friends, parents and siblings and waited until the 2nd trimester to tell anyone else. I originally wanted to wait a little longer but I was too happy, excited and terrified at the same time. I am a FTM and not quite prepared seeing that I was told by multiple doctors I would never be able to have children. But then again people who plan it really are never prepared either. I am happy that I told everyone and put it out there! I am so happy and proud! Here I am now 33 weeks and in less than 4 weeks I will be holding my LO I can not wait! Good luck with everything! Do what you feel is best!

You may feel particularly insightful, and possibly even psychic, today. Answers to pressing questions about your life or the universe at large can reveal themselves to you without warning, leading you to wonder where this knowledge came from. You may discover that your dreams seem more revelatory than usual, that you can perceive instructive signs in the world around you, or that your meditation sessions leave you feeling enlightened. Your ability to draw knowledge from these seemingly disparate sources is likely a result of your being in touch with your higher self. Today can be the perfect day to mull over issues that have long stymied you, as the answers you need may appear spontaneously to you.
The wisest among us are often those who are most willing to seek answers and significance within themselves, rather than in outer world quarters. When we tune in to the insightful messages being broadcast by our inner selves, we gain a new, open-minded perspective that allows us to see our circumstances in ways we never imagined possible. We accept that our dreams, daydreams, and psychic visions are all rich in intuitive wisdom, and we are thus more apt to acknowledge the underlying meaning buried in this type of revelation. Consequently, we have little trouble answering the profound questions that form in our minds, as we have a font of knowledge from which we can drink anytime, anywhere. You will find that you are highly attuned to your inner self today when you seek wisdom within your own soul.

Area native Adam Zenone loved going to the beach every year on family vacations.
"I don't know if it was the fact it was vacation or what it was, but I was always kind of really just fascinated with water and just with being in it, and then I saw an episode of 'Bill Nye the Science Guy,' and they interviewed a marine biologist on it and like, 'Oh my gosh, people can do this for a job. I'd like to do that,' so I did."
And he did it in a big way.

Aquanaut Adam Zenone, originally of Patton, observes the living coral reef outside of the Florida International University's Medina Aquarius Habitat while it was in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

Medina Aquarius Habitat stands in 63 feet of water, and is approximately the size of a school bus.
The 2007 Cambria Heights graduate was one of two Florida International University mission scientists who got to live underwater in the Aquarius, the world's only underwater marine laboratory, during a historic mission with Fabien Cousteau. Cousteau is an oceanographic explorer, conservationist, documentary filmmaker and grandson of the late famed undersea explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau.
Mission 31 went longer - 31 days instead of 30 - and deeper - 30 more feet of saturation - than a Jacques Cousteau-led mission from 50 years ago, according to the Mission 31 website.
Fabien Cousteau, who began the nonprofit organization Plant A Fish, is writing a book on Mission 31.
The FIU-operated lab is the size of a school bus, Zenone said; and is located 63 feet below the surface near deep coral reef in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Nine aquanauts were included in the overall mission team, and Zenone was part of a team living in the Aquarius and collecting data for the first 17 days.
"The beautiful thing about the Aquarius is that it gives you the gift of time. We were able to get out in the water before the sun rose every morning and examine the effects of nutrients on corals, both before the sun comes up, in the middle of the day and then when the sun goes down. ... That kind of data set is very difficult to get when you're diving from the surface," Zenone said. "We were also able to study the effect of predator-prey interactions so other than just eating fish, predators can change the way that their prey behave.
"If you think about it in human terms, if we dropped a lion in the middle of the food court, how much would you really be willing to risk in order to get that McDonald's? We need to understand the way that these predators effect the prey, because these prey are usually herbivores and they can be incredibly important for structuring the reef."
Adam is the son of Michael Zenone of Panama City, Fla., and Angela Shuke of Patton.
"He always enjoyed animals. We went through lots of stages growing up of different types of pets: hamsters, reptiles, bearded dragons, tropical fish - live bearing and salt water," Michael said.
The proud dad said he followed his son's undersea blog, and "day by day I just couldn't wait to hear what happened new, and it was just an amazing adventure for all of us," he said.
Adam began scuba diving through a Cambria Heights High School program. He and his classmates got certified and even got to dive in Mexico on a class trip, his dad said.
Adam led the way for his family's interest in scuba diving and several family members are certified, Michael said.
Adam received his bachelor's degree in biology from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 2011, and is a graduate student earning his master's degree in marine biology at FIU.
He worked closely with fellow FIU mission scientist and lead investigator, Andy Shantz, during their time underwater.
Adam is a master student in the Acoustics and Fisheries Ecology Lab run by Kevin M. Boswell, FIU assistant professor, biological sciences department, Marine Science program.
It "was really great to see these students step up and help further our science and obviously a great opportunity for them to really showcase their skills. I can only imagine it will help them down the road," Boswell said.
Adam's bio on the Mission 31 website said, "His current research involves surveying local reefs in Miami-Dade and Broward counties through the use of high-resolution hydroacoustic technology. Zenone is in search of characteristics that may structure reef communities in the hopes of enhancing conservation efforts on critically important and endangered reef habitats. This focus on conservation has recently taken him to the fjords of Iceland to study spawning cod and to the Prince William Sound in Alaska to examine potential lingering effects of the Exxon-Valdez oil spill. For Zenone, Mission 31 is both an exciting realization of a dream to explore the ocean in a unique way and also an amazing opportunity to learn about important reef communities and share these findings with a broad audience."
That audience included some closer to home.
Adam spoke to Margaret Cavallo's seventh-grade science students at Cambria Heights Middle School during his time underwater via Skype, his dad said.
The experience on Mission 31 is "still very difficult to describe," Zenone said. "It was just incredible, all around, and we were working very hard; we were up before the sun rose, we were in bed rather late after our dives, but any time you started feeling wear and tear or getting down, you just looked out the view port and there was a school of fish, a living coral reef, right outside your window, and it was just unbelievable. You almost feel like an astronaut.
"It's difficult to describe, looking back on it almost feels like a dream, you know how those experiences go: you do them and you're loving it and then you look back and you're like - Did that really happen to me? And you have trouble processing it, but it was excellent."
Zenone said he would do it again.
"Oh, in a heartbeat. I would love to," he said. "The data we're getting from this is going to be incredibly interesting and we're hoping to get a lot out of it. Good data is great because it answers maybe the question you were looking for in the first place, but it opens up so many more. There's so many more questions we can ask, and really the habitat is the only way to answer them as effectively as possible."
Although the mission is complete, Adam's blog and a website dedicated to the mission were, as of press time, still available online at: zen1for31.weebly.com/ and mission-31.com/.

Alex Steen and Kris Russell Return
Welcome back Alex Steen, you've been greatly missed. Steen's speed, work ethic and determination to get the puck have been tough to replace. The Blues have mostly done a solid job while he has been out but their game has been exposed the past couple weeks. With any luck a healthy Steen means an improved St. Louis offense.
Russell's return also comes at an ideal time as two defenseman, Kent Huskins and Ian Cole, both are coming off a couple rough performances. While his time with the Blues has been brief, I've been impressed with what Russell has shown this season. He is active and quick to join the rush, adding another offense threat for the Blues. He isn't the biggest or most physical defenseman but he is able to get the job done while giving the Blues a bit of added speed.
With the playoffs growing ever closer it's a joy to see the Blues getting healthy. With any luck, Matt D'Agostini and Andy McDonald will be cleared in the very near future.

Maumee, OHIO, (Sept. 1, 2009) - Door and Window Manufacturer (DWM) magazine recently recognized Therma-Tru with a Green Award in the door manufacturer category. This first-time award recognizes suppliers and manufacturers who are placing an emphasis on sustainability and doing their part to conserve resources and produce less waste.
The nominations for the award were publicized in the July-August issue of DWM, where readers were encouraged to go to their Web site to vote. There were seven categories, including large to small-sized manufactures, window manufacturers and door manufacturers. A profile was included for each of the nominees, providing background for readers.
"The amount of people who voted was significant and more than we've ever received for anything we've opened up to reader voting," said Tara Taffera Editor/Publisher, DWM Magazine. "I would say this definitely signifies the growing interest and commitment of many door and window companies toward environmental sustainability."
According to Taffera, more and more companies are recognizing the importance of sustainability, but many companies have been doing it long before people starting talking about being green.
"We wanted to recognize efforts made by these companies and the awards were a great way to do it. We look forward to continuing the annual awards each year," Taffera said.
Therma-Tru has been practicing sustainability for over 25 years when the Company introduced the industry's first fiberglass entry door, and has since provided energy-efficient products as well as manufacturing processes and corporate policies that reflect responsible environmental and community consciousness.
"We are very proud to have been recognized for our green initiatives by others in the door and window industry," said Sara Theis Alcroft, Brand Manager for Therma-Tru. "Therma-Tru is always looking for product materials or manufacturing processes that limit our impact on the environment."
More durable and energy efficient than wood doors, fiberglass doors offer five times the insulation of wood due to their CFC-free polyurethane foam core.
Therma-Tru doors are also designed as a complete system with components that work together, ensuring a tight seal and additional energy savings. As most doors are ENERGY STAR qualified and NFRC Certified, homeowners can save money on energy costs and protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.
Therma-Tru also works with several waste management organizations to recycle products such as paper, plastic, cardboard, steel, propane canisters, wood, cut-outs and scrap doors. Almost 100 percent of the steel scrap from Therma-Tru manufacturing facilities goes to recycling centers.
In addition, many of the wood products used in Therma-Tru's door frame components come from managed forests by partnering with wood suppliers who meet sustainable forestry certification standards. Since fiberglass doors serve as an energy efficient alternative to wood doors, Therma-Tru doors are able to capture the look and feel of high-end wood products without harvesting endangered wood species like Honduran Mahogany.
About Therma-Tru
Therma-Tru Doors is the nation's leading manufacturer and most preferred brand of fiberglass and steel exterior door systems. Founded in 1962, Therma-Tru pioneered the fiberglass entry door industry, and today offers a complete portfolio of entry and patio door system solutions, including decorative glass doorlites, sidelites and transoms, and door components.

Congratulations, Rory McIlroy. Today, you stood alone in the golf world. Everyone can say the course was easier, but you still hit the shots, made the putts and finished.
Unfortunately, not everyone finished up to snuff this past weekend. There were a fair amount of disappointments, which could definitely be considered in choking territory.
So what's the key to a good choke? You have to screw something up that is so easy that it's laughable, or not come close to the expectations that you have set for yourself. Most of the players on this list were believed to have a chance at a top 25, but most were far from that.

Why is Toledo allowing the Corps of Engineers to dump sediment in Lake Erie? When will it be fixed?
The City of Toledo lacks the authority to determine if the Corps of Engineers is permitted to open lake dispose of sediment in Lake Erie. The authority instead is a combination of the Corps of Engineers and the EPA based upon Section 404 and Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The Corps has determined that open lake disposal is suitable for most of the sediment dredged from Toledo Harbor but this determination requires the concurrence of Ohio EPA through Section 401. The Ohio EPA has consistently opposed open lake disposal since 1987 but discontinuing open lake disposal requires an alternative location for dredge material placement or the Port would not be maintained to a depth to allow ship traffic. On April 15, 2010, the Ohio EPA issued a 401 certification to the Corps of Engineers that limited the scope of the dredging request to one year and 800,000 cubic yards while asking for alternatives including interim steps to lessen the impact of open lake disposal while developing longer term alternatives. Director Chris Korleski of OEPA stated: "While I certainly feel compelled to keep the port functioning, I cannot overstate my concerns about the environmental impacts likely resulting from the annual disposal of large amounts of sediment in the shallow western basin of Lake Erie". Director Korleski and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Director Sean Logan expressed in a letter to the Corps the need to seek a feasible alternative to open lake disposal. They note that while open lake disposal may be the most cost-efficient option for the Corps, the real dollar costs to communities in the Western Basin resulting from environmental impacts, lake recreation and drinking water treatment, while difficult to calculate, and are not adequately being considered. There is more information available from the Ohio EPA at the following website: [ http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dsw/401/toledo_dredging_apr10.aspx ]http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dsw/401/toledo_dredging_apr10.aspx
The timing of a fix is uncertain. Several efforts to develop alternatives have been undertaken by the Corps of Engineers and others. The most recent activity has been the development of a Toledo Harbor Dredging Task Force and the intent of that Task Force to develop alternatives for managing Toledo Harbor sediment. A Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (USEPA) grant of $250,000 has recently been awarded to the Ohio Lake Erie Commission for this work which is to be completed by June 2012. In the meantime, efforts are underway to develop interim solutions to the problems while a longer term solution is identified, funded and implemented.
