How To Start A PTA
To Organize a PTA, PTSA, SEPTA, or other local unit, follow these steps:
|Contact the CT PTSA State Office for guidelines and assistance in organizing your local unit. You can contact us via telephone or e-mail. You can also contact the Region Director for your region, who can assist you.
|Identify what type of PTA you want to organize.
There are many types of PTA units and membership options (PTA, PTSA, SEPTA, etc.) - click here for more information.
|Identify individuals interested in forming a PTA.
Set a time and place for a planning meeting.
|Ask a state PTA representative to address your planning meeting attendees
A PTA representative will be helpful in making sure that your group meets the eligibility requirements to become a PTA, be able to provide information and materials about PTA, and explain the necessary procedures for organizing.
|Form a planning committee
Select a chair and a secretary from among the attendees at the meeting to undertake responsibilities temporarily, until officers can be elected.
|Organize temporary committees
Committees such as bylaws, nominations, publicity and hospitality will be helpful for planning your organizational meeting. Set a date for the organizational meeting to actually form and charter the new PTA unit.
|Distribute notices of the organizational meeting to all parents, teachers and other school staff, community members, and business people. Also put a notice in the local newspaper and contact other media sources.
|Make personal calls to parents, teachers, and other prospective members and place notes in school staff members' mailboxes to remind them of the meeting date.
|Survey your community to find individuals willing to be nominated for office.
|Prepare a set of proposed bylaws to distribute at the meeting. Work with a state PTA representative who can help you follow state PTA guidelines for writing bylaws for you local unit.
|Call the meeting to order.
The chair of the planning committee explains the purpose of the meeting and introduces speakers who explain the policies and purposes of the PTA. Include representatives of the state, region, or PTA council.
|Move to organize.
The chair calls for a motion to organize a local PTA. The PTA is officially established when a motion is made, receives a second, and is carried by a majority vote.
|Distribute and present bylaws.
A member of the temporary bylaws committee reads the proposed bylaws and calls attention to articles and sections required for all local PTA units. The committee member then moves their adoption. Each article is then read separately so that amendments, if any, can be considered and acted on. As each amendment is offered, it is stated by the committee member, debated, and voted on immediately. A majority vote is required for adoption. Final motion is made to adopt bylaws as amended.
|Hold a short intermission and enroll members.
On payment of dues (amount determined during adoption of the bylaws) people become charter members of the new PTA. An accurate list of members should be kept.
|Call for nominating committee report and nominations from the floor.
The chair reconvenes the meeting for nominations and elections. All candidates nominated must be members of the PTA and their consent must be obtained before their names are submitted for nomination. The election should be by ballot, unless there is only one nominee, in which case the election may be by voice vote. Officers should be voted on one by one. Only members may vote.
|Install newly elected officers.
The State, Region or Council PTA representative would be an appropriate person to perform the installation.
|The newly elected president takes the chair and calls for further business
At this time, determine a date of the first regular meeting, possible agenda items, etc.)
|Adjourn the meeting.
Members of your board of directors will have several tasks to carry out:
The Secretary – sends dues (state and national portions only), bylaws, and other required information to the CT PTSA office or designated state PTA officer. After meeting all criteria set by the CT PTSA, the new PTA will receive its charter.
|The Officers – examine and distribute materials sent by the state PTA. The packet contains a selection of state and national PTA publications, membership cards, and orientation materials for the new local PTA unit.
|The President – calls a meeting of the newly elected officers to make plans for operation of the new PTA and to establish committees and set goals.
Things to Remember:
Minutes from your PTA/PTSA/SEPTA meetings are kept forever- an IRS regulation
See Record Retention Policy for all other documents.
By Laws must be current and approved by the CT PTSA office every 3 years. CT PTSA must apporve By Laws before your membership votes.

Next week Southeast Polk school board candidates will step into the lime light to share their thoughts and opinions on key issues facing the district.
Meanwhile, area residents get to help decide what those issues are.
The Altoona Area Chamber of Commerce is requesting residents submit suggested questions for the Wednesday forum before the end of this week.
The questions, which should be sent by the end of the day Friday, may be submitted via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Questions may also be dropped off or mailed to the chamber at 119 Second St. SE, Altoona.
All seven candidates, running for three open seats on the school board, are invited to a 90-minutes forum at the Southeast Polk High School Auditorium, according to officials with the chamber.
The event is scheduled to begin 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. The school board election will take place Sept. 10.

Observations of CO in comet 29P/SW1 were obtained with the SEST antenna in December 1996 when the comet was in its quiescent state. The shape of the lines remained remarkably constant for all positions of the telescope beam in the coma. Day-to-day nuclear output variations were small, probably less than half the monthly average production rate. The on-nucleus line presented the following characteristics: the line area is 0.04 K km /sec; there is a sunward-displaced velocity peak near -0.45 km /sec and a velocity skirt extends towards positive values, which indicates CO production on the night side. Assuming a spherical nucleus, we find that the velocity, an indicator of the surface temperature, decreases monotonically from the subsolar point to the terminator and is essentially constant over the night side. The CO production in the comet quiescent state is (1.8 ±0.1)e28 molecules /sec. Roughly 75% of the CO is released on the sunlit side of the nucleus. The outgassing pattern of SW1's nucleus in the quiescent state can be viewed as folllows: (1) the entire surface produces CO molecules at a low intensity level and, (2) the CO production is the highest in the subsolar region. These features imply that the surface is homogeneous at a small scale relative to the radius of the comet. Although, the nucleus can be viewed as a single source of coma materials, with an enhanced production where solar energy is deposited, the possible role of Halley-like active regions, if they exist, is unclear.

// recursive factorial(int n) { if (n <= 2) return n; // Originally "if (n <= 1) return 1;" // I find it amusing that someone applied this // dead-accurate yet PrematureOptimization, here. // Yes, it optimizes. But does it clarify or obfuscate? // And if one quantifies the optimization: clearly premature. // Whoever did that needs to reconsider their habitual // tradeoffs. This was an inappropriate optimization. // See RulesOfOptimization return n * factorial(n-1); } // iterative factorial(int n) { int i, array[100]; // integer overflow will happen well before we reach factorial(100) int result; for (i=1; i<=n; i++) array[i] = i; result = 1; for (i=1; i<=n; i++) result *= array[i]; return result; }I understand both the recursive and iterative approaches to computing the factorial. This example seems to demonstrate eliminating recursion altogether. I was hoping to see an example of "an iterative [function] which uses an external stack" -- I don't see an external stack in above example. Not to pick on the example too much, but many compilers will preallocate "array" with room for 100 ints -- assuring that the iterative example consumes MORE stack space than the factorial for typical values of n. How does the iterative approach optimize anything (even if prematurely)?
class TreeNode? { Object data; // our data TreeNode? left, right; // children }; class TreeNodeVisitor? { abstract void visit (TreeNode?); // do something interesting on a tree node };Second, a depth-first traversal using recursion. Nice and easy.
void recursiveDepthFirstTraversal (TreeNode? root, TreeNodeVisitor? visitor) { // do the left branch if (root.left) recursiveDepthFirstTraversal (root.left, visitor); // visit this node visitor.visit (root); // do the right branch if (root.right) recursiveDepthFirstTraversal (root.right, visitor); }And third, a version using ExternalizeTheStack. Note that we need to define an auxillary class, TraversalState?, which essentially captures the continuation that would otherwise be saved on the stack. Lots of possible error conditions go unhandled.
class TraversalState? { TreeNode? node; // node being visited bool left_visited; // true if we've already visited the left node TraversalState? (TreeNode? n) { node = n; left_visited = false; } }; void iterativeDepthFirstTraversal (TreeNode? root, TreeNodeVisitor? visitor) { Cons <TraversalState?> stack = new Cons<TraversalState?> (new TraversalState? (root), null); // our external stack, implemented using conses while (stack != null) { if (!stack.car.left_visited) { stack.car.left_visited = true; if (stack.car.node.left) { stack = new Cons<TraversalState?> (new TraversalState? (stack.car.node.left), stack); } } else { visitor.visit (stack.car.node); if (stack.car.node.right) { stack = new Cons<TravseralState?> (new TraveralState? (stack.car.node.right), stack); } stack = stack.cdr; // done with branch; pop up to parent } } }As you can see, the externalized and iterative version is considerably more complicated than the recursive version. And since it was typed in by hand (no attempt to run it), I'm not even sure it works. ExternalizeTheStack is definitely one of those things you should only do when you have to - such as when you are short on memory (and need to minimize the size of the saved continuation) or are likely to run into a StackOverflow.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Free training on how to prepare federal and state income tax returns is being offered at the Clinton L. Johnson Center for Economic Development.
The Center, a program of the Mobile Housing Board, is located on the south side of the city of Mobile at 1655 Eagle Drive in the agency's Thomas James Place affordable housing development.
Orientation sessions for the tax preparation classes will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 27, Oct. 11 and 25, Nov. 8 and 15 and Dec. 6. Interested persons from any of the city of Mobile's households with low and moderate income may enroll in the classes. Participants must be at least 16 years old. A certification exam will be given at the end of the course.
The tax preparation classes are being offered by HandsOn South Alabama and the Mobile Housing Board. For more information and to register, call 251-476-8724 or 251-470-0372.
Cookbook signing: Approximately 100 senior residents of the Mobile Housing Board contributed recipes to a new cookbook that was published by the agency.
The cookbook is entitled "Recipes and Remembrances: Tasty, Healthy Recipes and Soul Nourishing Memories from Senior Residents of the Mobile Housing Board."
In addition to a variety of recipes, the cookbook features stories about the lives of the seniors, including their memories of family meals and holiday feasts.
Those who contributed recipes autographed copies of the cookbook for their peers at book signings at the Downtown Renaissance, Emerson Gardens, Boykin Tower and Central Plaza Towers last week.
Residents of The Gardens on First Avenue, which is owned and operated by the Mobile Housing Board, also participated in the project. The Mobile Housing Board owns and operates these five apartment complexes for senior citizens (age 62 and over) and seven multi-family affordable housing developments.
Pep rally: A pep rally was held at R.V. Taylor Plaza on Sept. 11 to celebrate the end of a relatively safe summer in the Mobile Housing Board's affordable housing developments.
Dubbed "Increase the Peace," the event featured Vigor High School's drum line. It also included a rap contest, music, dancing and guest performers by several rap artists.
The event was sponsored by the Mobile Housing Board Youth Academy and the agency's Community Services Department. Approximately 250 youth attended the pep rally outside the R.V. Taylor Plaza Community Center.
Terrance Nunn, owner of Barber Surgeons on Houston Street and a volunteer football coach at Crawford Park, gave a motivational speech. Nunn, who said he grew up near R.V. Taylor Plaza, challenged the youth to always strive to do their best by focusing on their education, family and community. He challenged everyone to set aside their petty differences and bond as a neighborhood.
Four youth entered the rap contest – Chaz Darby, 13; Takisha Gales, 14; and Shanavia Perdue, 11; and Roderick Wheeler, 16. Gales won the contest by popular acclamation. She is a freshman at Williamson High School and a member of the MHB Youth Academy.
Several local rappers entertained the audience, including Coolhand Luke and HV Too.
(This column's aim is to share information of interest to residents of Mobile's public housing. Reach Adline Clarke, communications officer for the Mobile Housing Board, at 251-434-2238 or email@example.com.)

THE IMPORTANCE of redistribution of blood flow from the mesenteric to the peripheral vascular bed as a causal factor for mesenteric ischemia has not been appreciated. Although necrosis of the gut following aortoiliac reconstructive surgery with or without concomitant sympathectomy is uncommon, symptoms that could be due to intestinal ischemia frequently occur following these reconstructive procedures, but in most cases they are mild and reversible. Because the patient has just undergone an intra-abdominal procedure, symptoms of distention, nausea, and diarrhea are ascribed to the surgery rather than a physiological redistribution of blood flow in the mesenteric and peripheral vascular beds. The sequence and cause of the hemodynamic alterations responsible for the symptomatology and the pathological lesions have remained obscure and frequently impossible to document.
In 1963 Young et al31 reviewed the literature and collected 42 cases of severe intestinal ischemia following surgery on the abdominal aorta and its branches

CD-adapco is the world's largest independent CFD focused provider of engineering simulation software, support and services. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering industrial strength engineering simulation.
A series of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations has been performed using block-structured meshes to compare the accuracy of two commercial CFD flow solvers and a bespoke tool in use at QinetiQ. These calculations have been compared with experimental measurements of surface pressure and overall forces and moments. In addition, further calculations have been performed for the cases selected by TTCP for a
study of the flow development and its effect on the vehicle stability. These calculations include an initial study of the effects of mesh fineness and also of the importance of incorporating transition modelling when comparing computed results with those obtained experimentally without transition fixing. The study aids the validation of computational methods and the benchmarking of capability.

The Right Fit…Finally
Last week Elena DelleDonne made national waves on the recruiting radar when she made the uncharacteristic decision to turn down a basketball scholarship at UConn. The consensus national player of the year released the statement;
"Both UConn and I require 100 percent dedication to the sport, and as of now I feel I cannot give that level of commitment. It therefore would be unfair to the excellent program, Coach Geno Auriemma, the team, and UConn fans, for me to play."
She has already left UConn and enrolled at Delaware and it appears that she will actually be playing volleyball instead of hoops. It appears that her story will conclude with a happy ending but underscores why even the nations top recruits need help while going through the recruiting process.
Rutgers University sophomore basketball player Khadijah Rushdan backed up that point of view with her statements to Deleware's News Journal.
"When you are accomplished you have a lot of schools look at you, a lot of people propositioning you, and it's hard. It's stressful. You're about to make one of the most important decisions of your life. You can never satisfy everybody, and some [high school seniors] lose track as to what makes them happy."
"People said all the time, 'I'd love to be in your shoes. But no one knows what it feels like, to tell a coach no. … You're making a decision off of not too much information, a decision where you are going to spend four years of your life."
At NCSA our team of Recruiting Coaches work to empower student athletes to find the right college fit from the start. By starting early and carefully weighing all of your options athletes can make sure they have the college experience they have always dreamt.
Comments Closed
As I commented when first looking at this story, a student-athlete doesn't have enough life experiences to ask the right questions so they find a perfect college fit. Most parents don't have any experience in sorting through the college coaches' language, otherwise known as "coach speak". Both student-athletes and parents need guidance from an expert. They can find that here: http://www.ncsasports.org/saef-blog/

The Amber pours a medium copper color with a bubbly tan head. Good lacing and retention.
The smell is dominated by the malt (duh!). A slightly toasted malt mingles with the sweet caramel malt and a touch of bread. Little-to-no hop aroma.
While there is some hop in the taste, it's very shallow. Again, this is all about the malts (as it should be). The rich malt provides for a good-bodied beer. Toasted malts and a touch of sweet caramel make for an extremely smooth taste. There's a touch of hop spiciness on the back end, mixed in with toasted biscuit.
The mouthfeel is richer than most European lagers. It's medium-bodied, as opposed to light, with good crispness and carbonation.
Appearance: 10/10
Aroma: 4/5
Taste: 9/10
Mouthfeel: 4/5
Overall: 18/20
Total: 45/50
Abita Amber is one of my favorite go-to beers. Rich in flavor but smooth and drinkable. Cheers!

Sometimes even the simplest sports question can start the most heated sports debate.
Watching the Red Sox game Tuesday night on NESN, the New England Sports Network, ran a promo regarding a contest to name the greatest Boston sports legend.
I was preparing the 11 p.m. sports update for ABC40 last night, and we had the TV on in the sports department checking for last-minute updates and stats on the Red Sox game.
There were four guys with 30 years separating youngest from oldest hanging out in the sports department, and we began to debate the question, who was the greatest?
The leaders in the clubhouse were the obvious suspects, and in no particular order the short list included Bobby Orr, Ted Williams, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Carl Yastrzemski and perhaps even Francis Ouimet.
So I want you to take part in this on-line sports talk show and debate the issue.
Who is the most iconic New England sports figure, and what are the qualities and accomplishments that most determine who is indeed 'the' greatest of all time?
Do we measure an athlete by his or her Q-Rating, overall career stats, or do we measure by championships?
It's a wide open playing field and any and all opinions are both necessary and welcomed.
I'll go first. When the question was posed, the first two athletes I thought of were Ted Williams and Bobby Orr.
Growing up Ted Williams never meant that much to me because I'm from New York, and we just never thought much about the Red Sox.
Bobby Orr meantime was in his heyday when I was a young boy.
Larry Bird, Yaz and Bill Russell also were also mentioned in the first tier of all-time greats, and so was Roger Clemens.
I'll cast the first vote in this straw poll, Bobby Orr gets my vote.
I think he had a career that deserves the nod, he is after all considered by many to be the greatest hockey player who ever lived, and he brought Boston the ultimate, a Stanley Cup championship.
To me Bobby Orr was, and has always been a perfect gentleman each and every time I have met him.
I believe the ball is now in your court. Have fun!

The Magic Retirement Number
How much do you really need to save to retire?
After you stop working, you'll need about 80% of your pre-retirement income, according to recent estimates, says the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
The saving rate needed to hit that target depends on a number of factors, among them: Your age when you start squirreling away your nest egg, your age when you retire and your earnings on those savings.
An average earner who starts saving at age 35 and retires at 67 needs to save 18% a year, assuming a 4% annual return, the research shows.
The comparable rates for low and high earners are 12% and 22%. There's your punishment for working hard and getting a raise.
The authors' conclusion:
"Starting early and working longer are far more effective levers for gaining a secure retirement than earning a higher return. This strategy of saving for a longer period of time is especially effective given the greater risk that comes from attempting to earn that higher return. And the further along an individual is in his career, the more effective working a few years longer becomes."
You can read the whole brief here.

Marry Go Round
As Trista and Ryan Head for the Altar and Jen and Andrew Entwine Hearts, Everybody Learns a Little More About Love, Pet Allergies and Compromise
Weeks from saying 'I Do,' they tackle pet allergies and map out all the details
With only weeks to go before their wedding, Trista Rehn, 31, and her Bachelorette fiancé, Colorado firefighter Ryan Sutter, 29, have moved into a four-bedroom home near Vail. Outside the air is crisp and scented with pine. Inside it's all dog, all the time, and Rehn keeps breaking out in hives. She's acutely allergic to Natasha, Sutter's 5-year-old Siberian husky. "For the past two weeks I've had huge welts on my face," says Rehn, a former physical therapist who grew up in St. Louis, "because I'll lean up against Ryan's shirt where Natasha has touched him." Can this relationship be saved? Yes, but at a cost: Rehn is off to see the allergist. "I hate needles, but I'll deal with it."
That sort of thing—those little day-to-day signs of commitment—make Sutter very happy. "It makes me feel good," he says. "That's part of a relationship you do things maybe you wouldn't have before."
In fact, the couple will soon be making reality-romance history. Not only will they be the first Bachelor sweet-hearts to actually tie the knot, but their nuptials will be taped and then aired on ABC Dec. 10. The two-hour wedding extravaganza will cap a three-part series of specials that promises a Harlequin romance wrap-up to the story that began when Rehn was rejected by Alex Michel on the first Bachelor in 2002, then fell for Sutter when she got to star on The Bachelorette this past winter. Cynics might point out that bride and groom are contracted with the producers to receive a total $1 million by the time they successfully finish exchanging their I dos. Says Rehn: "If you don't want to believe in us, that's okay. We're still going to be in love."
And at least until the wedding, she's going to be very much in charge. With an enormous production budget, she's putting together the ceremony of her dreams with some of the big names in the bridal business. "Trista's very much into the romance of a fairy-tale wedding," says florist Mark Held, who worked on the yet-to-be-completed Ben-Jennifer wedding. But she always consults Sutter and has given him the deciding vote on the cake. "So as long as there are sweets," says wedding planner Mindy Weiss, who oversaw the Jessica Simpson-Nick Lachey wedding last year, "Ryan'll be happy." And probably grateful: "When we first did the guest list," he says, "it was a little overwhelming."
But Sutter's learning. And so is she, as daily life reveals more details about each other's off-camera self. "He's very neat about his appliance cords," says Rehn, who envisions having kids and commuting to L.A. for TV work. "We have iPods, and he'll wrap the cord perfectly." A seafood-lover, he wishes her diet wasn't so heavy on starch. "It's hard for me to emphasize how big she is on potatoes." But when they wake up each morning, usually by 9:30—she never used to get up before 10—they're thrilled to face another day together. "In the morning," says Sutter, "I call her Sunshine."
Andrew & Jen
In no hurry to tie the knot, the vintner and his bride-to-be let their TV romance ripen with age
"The show was step one," says California vintner and millionaire Andrew Firestone, measuring the progress of his relationship with Jen Schefft, the Chicago account executive who accepted his rose—and his 2.8-carat engagement ring—on The Bachelor in May. "Since then, we're 10 steps further." That's a conservative estimate. By now the couple is intimate enough that even the stuff about her he doesn't like, he likes. Now that the bathroom of his two-bedroom San Francisco apartment is cluttered with what seems to be an interbreeding collection of shampoos and soaps, "the smell of her lotions drives me bananas," he says. "But when I'm on the road, that's the stuff I miss the most."
The fact that she often packs a suitcase to go with him has only solidified them as a team. When the 27-year-old Schefft left Chicago for San Francisco at the end of May, Firestone's family put her to work doing promotion for their Firestone wines, grown on 500 acres in the In no Santa Ynez Valley. "We're not a big winery," says Firestone, 28. "We sell on reputation and family, and Jen fits into that." She stands by his side in supermarket appearances, autographing bottles. (When home, she greets visitors to the tasting room.) If she ever feels her energy flagging, "I just think of how lucky I am to be with him."
The only time she completely tunes out Firestone business and family lore—Andrew is the great-grandson of tire magnate Harvey Firestone—is the 15 extra minutes of sleep she claims for herself after hitting the snooze but-ton in the morning. "When the alarm goes off again, she's awake," says Firestone, "but that 15-minute gap, you don't mess with her. I know that now!" And she wouldn't dream of asking for the TV remote. "He lets me have my way in a lot of things," says Schefft, "but that's not one of them." When it comes to music, there's room to compromise. "I like punk rock and she likes Justin Timberlake," he says, "but we're expanding each other's horizons."
The merging of families has been especially smooth. The Firestones have already taken to calling Schefft "Lola." "We have nicknames for everything," explains Firestone. "We've had cars that were named Lola. Everything has a moniker to it just to make it friendly." (His nick? Buzz.) Her family in Mentor, Ohio, is just as accepting: "My husband, Dave, really likes him," says Schefft's mother, Diane. "I tease him because no dad ever thinks a man is good enough for his daughter, but he really likes Andrew's sense of humor." While they settle into the relationship, the couple aren't setting any sort of date for the wedding—and it's unlikely they'll give ABC the opportunity to film the event when it happens. "I'd be shocked if they do that," says Firestone's brother Adam, 41. "It came up with ABC months ago, and it got shot down very quickly." Once they do marry, children will definitely follow, says Firestone. "Family is my No. 1 priority in life," he says. "I want to be the dad who drives on the long road trip with cheesy road-trip songs. I see myself as Clark W. Griswold," the character Chevy Chase played in the National Lampoon's Vacation movies.
Perhaps by then, the couple will have a home of their own to return to. For now, they continue to share their apartment with Firestone's good friend insurance salesman Kevin Krystofiak, 26. Firestone sees nothing wrong with keeping a bud around while developing a reality romance. "It's not like that Notting Hill movie," he says, "where the roommate is sitting there in the bathtub washing his underwear." Schefft says it's fine by her. "Kevin makes sure I'm okay when Andrew is gone. So if s a great situation, even though it sounds weird." Krystofiak has no objections either: "A woman's touch definitely adds to the place."

One player the Giants will be certain not to overlook on Sunday is Seattle Seahawks returner Leon Washington, the former Jet who has continued as one of the NFL's best return threats in Seattle.
"He can stop and start on a dime and he goes north and south," Giants special teams coordinator Tom Quinn said. "That's his biggest thing. If he sees a vertical seam, he's going to take it. He'll try to stretch you and cut you and then when he gets going vertically he's dangerous."
During Wednesday's conference call with reporters, Washington acknowledged that the NFL's new kickoff rule is limiting his opportunities. However, he still believes he can make a difference in the game.
"If you watch the film across the league, a lot of the guys are bringing the ball out anyway," Washington said. "It (stinks) in one sense, but in the other, there will be opportunities, especially later in the season when the weather is a little bit more inclement."

She is the person who instilled in you the love of reading. Ruth taught in the Keystone Central School District and then was hired as a reading specialist with the Jersey Shore School District. She taught at Salladasburg Elementary School until she retired in 1995. Ruth shared her love of books with the students by starting a Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program at the school. Each year she and her committee planned reading events and brought in books for the students to choose for their own. She believed that books show us how the world and communities and people are connected. Ruth believed that reading was important for more than just getting a job (well, she wanted you to do that too.)

On Friday, United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) announced that it has agreed to break off part of its recent Goodrich acquisition and sell it to Triumph Group (NYSE: TGI ) .
One condition of receiving regulatory approval for purchasing Goodrich last year was that UTC divest Goodrich's pump and engine control systems business. Accordingly, UTC has agreed to sell this business to Triumph in a deal expected to close sometime this quarter. The unit will be renamed Triumph Engine Control Systems LLC (TECS) after acquisition.
Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed, but Triumph did say in a press release that it expects TECS to add $195 million in annual revenue to its business, and to be immediately accretive to earnings. The business being acquired employs approximately 530 employees at its West Hartford, Conn., facility. It supplies commercial, military, helicopter, and business jet markets.
Shares of Triumph are up 3.9% as of this writing, at $69.99, while shares of UTC are up 0.2% at $86.56.

A newer version of this information is available in the publication Tell the Rural Payments Agency about land changes and entitlement transfers.
SPS entitlements can no longer be transferred
From 22 October 2014 SPS entitlements can no longer be transferred. Any leased entitlements that are due to be returned to their owner after 21 October 2014 will still be returned. RPA will still be able to transfer any entitlements that are part of an inheritance after this date.

KALAMAZOO, Mi. – Miracle Woods readily admits she has gained weight since last year's women's basketball season ended.
But the Western Michigan University 5-foot, 11-inch sophomore says it's not from indulging in her beloved Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
It's from running and lifting. ... lifting and running. ... a lot.
''In the offseason, I did a lot more night runs and watched what I ate,'' she said. ''It feels a lot better than last season.
''What stopped me the most was my conditioning and speed. I came in my freshman year, and oh my gosh, I would stop in the middle of conditioning and catch my breath.''
It wasn't like she was horrible last season. In fact, she was far from it. Woods made the Mid-American Conference's All-Freshman team, averaging a team-high 9 points per game. Coach Shane Clipfell's starting center had four double-doubles with her best game being 29 points and 10 rebound in a MAC tournament first-round win over Eastern Michigan.
''This year, I look forward to being able to drive more and shoot more instead of being a 5 player (center) with my back to the basket,'' Wood said. ''Last year, I was more dribble and drop step while this year I'll have more confidence to drive and kick it out if I'm covered.
''It's a lot more fun to play like that. I'll have more options and I can see my teammates instead of having my back to the basket and not seeing anybody.''
A recent practice showed her desire, too. In a sprint drill, Woods was among a pack of leaders.
''Mental, it's all mental,'' she said. ''I came in my freshman year and almost quit.''
Now, she will have a lot of familiar faces to beat in sprints. WMU (11-20 overall, 6-10 MAC West) had just one loss through graduation and two others – Corie Buchanan and Jazmine Knowles – aren't on the team this season.
Woods is part of a front court lineup of junior Marquisha Harris, junior Michelle O'Brien, sophomore Jessica Jessing, junior Jenna Bachrouche (transfer from Oakland) and the team's lone senior, Rachel Adaline.
Sophomore Alex Morton will be the starting point guard again. Returning guards are A.J. Johnson, Julie Henson, Jazmine Windham and Courtney Haley.
''The only thing that held Miracle back last year from taking the next step was herself,'' Clipfell said. ''She would get down on herself.
''She has to realize that when she isn't having a perfect game, she should recognize that and find something else to do. Sometimes, that might be to ask for help from her teammates until she can get her mind right.''
With the change in conditioning and attitude might come a chance to be a team leader, too. Last year, Clipfell looked for that leader and didn't really find one, virtually never having a team captain. This season, Johnson is the captain with several others, including Woods, in the mix for a captain's role.
''I'm more of a lead by example player,'' Woods said. ''Sometimes, I can talk to people individually, but as an outspoken leader, I'm not there yet.
''I'm more of an emotional leader.''
Added Clipfell: ''I like the leadership, and the mentality of the team is different from last year. Our locker room has matured and grown and that is the starting point of the good or evil. Championships start behind those walls.''
They can also start by watching a good freshman transform herself into a better player as sophomore, especially in her conditioning.
''I'm not in last anymore,'' Woods said about her place in sprint drills. ''Not anymore.''

|Veale Co. snares pact to build new freeway digital sign
Current sign dubbed obsolete despite being only 10 years old
The digital sign next to the freeway at the western end of State Farm Drive has already achieved "obsolete" status, according to the sign's owners, the City of Rohnert Park. So, Tuesday night, the city council unanimously voted to lease it to Veale Investment Properties of Santa Rosa to rebuild, manage, operate and maintain.
Even in this digital age it might seem a bit extraordinary that a digital sign installed in 2003 could be called "obsolete" less than 10 years later. But apparently high tech progress has galloped ahead and RP's sign, stuck with "primitive" wiring and outdated computer functions, has been left in the dust.
It was first built as a means of promoting Spreckels Performing Arts Center when Michael Grice was director. It had a modest success attracting other advertisers.
Now it faces demolition and replacement by a probably larger digital sign from the Veale company. It's a 20-year lease.
There was competition from Clear Channels and Station Casinos of Las Vegas for the job.
Clear Channels is best known for its array of AM and FM radio stations nationwide and its billboard construction. But they told the council Sonoma County "is not considered part of the Greater Bay Area" and national advertising would be difficult to obtain for any digital billboard this far north of the Golden Gate.
Station Casinos had a bid close to the Veale proposal, but they wanted the casino being built by the Graton Rancheria tribe to get 50 percent of the sign's revenue on one sign board with 37½ percent on an adjacent sign board for businesses and
12½ percent to the city.
The city could also continue with the existing sign, although they say maintaining it is getting to be financially "burdensome." The city could also build a new digital sign with up-to-date technology. But the costs of such a project were estimated at $600,000 to $1 million. Both options were rejected.
"Veale has a good track record in the county," said Councilman Joe Callinan.
"I like dealing with a local company. I think it's important that we do so," said Councilman Amy Ahanotu.
"I think our agreement is a great decision," said vice-Mayor Pam Stafford.

You may feel loyal and devoted to your family members today, which could inspire you to spend time nurturing and caring for them. While this can aid you in creating stronger bonds, you may want to focus instead on creating a healthy balance between the time you spend on those you love and the time you devote to caring for yourself. One good way to do this is by setting aside a specific period of time for yourself each day and treating it as one of your highest priorities. Beginning today, simply give yourself permission to relax, meditate, write in a journal, listen to soothing music, or read a favorite book.
A healthy relationship with ourselves contributes to harmonious relationships with others in our lives. Many of us have been trained to think of others first and ourselves second. While this level of compassion is admirable, it can often lead to feelings of burnout and emptiness as we neglect the most important relationship in our lives. By choosing instead to strengthen our relationship with ourselves first, we contribute to a deep sense of wellbeing and joy that will also have an effect on our relationships with others. Not only does this give us more energy and a genuine sense of inner happiness, it fuels our natural generosity and heightens the joy we receive from nurturing those we love. As you create a harmonious connection with your inner self today, you also should notice your relationships with others taking on a brighter glow.

Birds, mosquitoes and the West Nile virus in Dallas
At my house, the day begins around sunrise. In a neighborhood chock full of trees, the sound of dozens of singing birds is an appreciated alarm clock.
Being serenaded in the a.m. by songbirds is one of my favorite things about living in North Texas. I'm almost lamenting the day when my wife and daughter move our pets – including Theo, an outdoor cat who is an accomplished hunter – into the house. I dread the morning when I wake up to…silence.
But after reading today's story about the impending West Nile virus, the wondrous avian harmonies have had a slightly different effect on me: concern.
This is the part of Sherry Jacobson's story that caused my sensory shift: "West Nile is a virus harbored in birds that can spread to humans by mosquito bites."
Birds? Mosquitos? We've got plenty of one and I will soon have more than I can handle of the other. Because, basically, I'm a very large homo sapien mosquito magnet. As I explained in a previous blog, they are attracted to me like John Wiley Price is to controversy.
And I now live in the West Nile capital of the country. In Dallas County alone, there were 389 infections and 20 deaths since June – a significant part of the 1,739 cases and 89 deaths in the entire state ofTexas.
Glad that everyone seems aware of this challenge and taking the necessary steps. Thankful the federal Centers for Disease Control and the county's Health and Human Services Department are on the case. Appreciative of County Judge Clay Jenkins for having a sense of urgency about the matter. I'll do my part by getting rid of standing and stagnant water, fixing the screens around the house and slathering on DEET if I spend much time outdoors.
Who knows? I may try out "birding" this summer.

Late last month, Turner Studios rolled out a new all-digital, 56-foot high-definition teleproduction truck for its maiden telecast of an Atlanta Hawks basketball game from Philips Arena.
The vehicle, which is designed to produce live multi-cast events in HD and SD at the same time, also will support Turner Entertainment Networks' new HD-only channel, TNT HD, set to debut May 17.
The mobile production unit is equipped with Ikegami HD cameras that have both triax and fiber connectivity, and two Canon DIGI SUPER 100xs and seven DIGI SUPER 86xs studio/field HD lenses. Each includes Shift-IS image stabilization. Five portable Canon HJ21x7.8B IRSD lenses with the added control of a digital drive are also onboard.
The DIGI SUPER 100xs, or XJ100x9.3B IE-D, provides a triple-digit zoom range from wide angle to telephoto. Canon's image stabilizer technology is capable of eliminating vibrations at a frequency of up to 10Hz.
Turner is also making extensive use of the FOR-A DCC-700 MU digital color corrector and the DCC-700H MU HDTV color corrector to enhance a variety of incoming feeds to provide the telecast with a consistent look and feel. The FOR-A digital units provide precise control over all color correction parameters to maximize the appearance of source video signals.
On board the new Turner truck are two SD and two HD versions of the DCC-700H. The HD color correctors provide high-quality processing of 1920x1035/59.94i (60i) fps and 1920x1080/59.94i signals. Most of the HD projects produced with the truck will be in the 1080i format.
The truck also makes extensive use of a Pinnacle Deko and Chyron iNFiNiT! for graphics production.

Does your family camp? If not, would you like to?
We sold ours but also had a soft spot by the door! It was a mess to fix!
Quoting letstalk747:
love it , a tent now since our trailor's floor got all wet and damaged
Sounds beautiful! I love the look on the little ones face!HA!!
Quoting othermom:
We have gone camping once this year and once last year. We have a lot of mountains around us so we have lots of places to camp. I lived where we went this year. It was realy quiet in the mountains and close to a lake to go fishing.
This is from last year. I didn't get pictures of the camp site from this year
I've seen motorhomes and trailers that I'd actually live in! I have a thing about hotels...I just don't like the idea of sleeping in a bed that others have, but I can definitely say I agree with your DH!LOL!
Quoting SweetLuci:
When my boys were younger, their dad would take them tent camping. I had enough when I went with them when they were Cub Scouts. Then we later got a travel trailer and that was fun. Haven't been in a long time, my dh now prefers luxury resort hotels over tents. lol
that sounds fun!
Quoting KatieJumonville: My husband's family (100+) camp every year at Rocky Gap state park in Md. Every year, for nearly 40 years! It's crazy fun. We also try to take our boys to Seneca Rocks in WV for a camping trip every year in the fall too.
We're big campers, when dh and I go we tent, if we take the oldest we tent, but if we take the little one we usually get a cabin. We also go with my family alot and they have a huge motorhome.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The Blizzard of 1993 blanketed the Birmingham with 6 to 8 inches of snow and up to 12 inches in some places that shut down much of the the state for several days. Drivers were stranded and neighbors gave each other a helping hand with food, shelter and warmth. An estimated 10 million people were left without power.
Take a look at some of the photos that were taken by Birmingham News photojournalists during that storm. If you recognize someone send me a note and I'll add them to the caption in the photos.

The work of emerging scholars represents the promise and long-term future of interdisciplinary scholarship in 19th-century studies. In recognition of the excellent publications of this constituency of emerging scholars, this award recognizes an outstanding article or essay published within five years of the author's doctorate. Entries can be from any discipline focusing on any aspect of the long 19th century (the French Revolution to World War I), must be published in English or be accompanied by an English translation, and must be by a single author. Submission of essays that are interdisciplinary is especially encouraged.
Entrants must be within five years of having received a doctorate or other terminal professional degree, and must have less than seven years of experience either in an academic career, or as a post-terminal-degree independent scholar or practicing professional.
Only articles physically published between September 1, 2012 and August 31, 2013 (even if the citation date of the journal is different) are eligible for the 2013 Emerging Scholar Award. Articles published in any scholarly journal, including on-line journals, or in edited volumes of essays are eligible and may be submitted either by the author or the publisher of a journal, anthology, or volume containing independent essays. In any given year, an applicant may submit more than one article for this award.
The winning article will be selected by a committee of nineteenth-century scholars representing diverse disciplines. Articles submitted to the NCSA Article Prize competition are ineligible for the Emerging Scholars Award. The winner will receive $500 to be presented at the annual NCSA Conference in Chicago, IL, March 20-22, 2014. Prize recipients need not be members of the NCSA but are encouraged to attend the conference to receive the award.
Deadline for submission is October 1, 2013.
Send a PDF of published articles/essays to the committee chair, Professor Elif Armbruster, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Address all questions to Dr. Armbruster at the same email address. Please note that applicants must verify date of actual publication for eligibility

Exciting Ideas in Solar Energy from ARPA-E
David Ferris, Forbes

Now in its fourth year, the summit of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) never fails to bring out the most cutting-edge ideas in renewable energy. This week's conference in Washington D.C. is no exception. I walked the exhibition floor today and ran across some sexy new concepts in solar power.

The input signal to the circuit in Figure is a perfect
square wave with amplitude A (from 0 V to
A), and period T where T >> RC. You may also assume that R >> Rs (the internal resistance of the
function generator). Using only symbolic parameters (e.g. R, C, A; not numerical values), derive
the equations for the following quantities:
Vout (t). What is the maximum value of Vout(t)? What is the minimum value of Vout(t)?Rise time tr of Vout(t)?

Metro swaps out carpets for slip-resistant floors
Tired of carpeting on Metro during your commute? Soon you will see much less of it. WMATA is installing new slip-resistant flooring in some of its railcars. Today they shared some pictures of installing this so-called "resilient flooring."
Metro plans on installing this flooring in all of its 5000 and 6000 series railcars over the next 2 years. This floor will also go in the new 7000 series railcars.
The new flooring is easier and cheaper to maintain than the old carpets, which had to be replaced every 5 years. The new flooring should last at least 25 years.
You can easily get this kind of flooring in a range of colors, including ones that would mimic the look and color (if not the feel) of the old carpet.
I really feel for those workers. The mere thought of handling used Metro carpet is "Fear Factor" level gross.
In the picture above it looks like the bases for the bi-directional seats are keeping their carpet?
Perhaps, the "Red Line Sickness" will be history, along with the moldy carpeting.
Of course it took 6 years for WMATA to finally ditch the carpets after publicly admitting how inefficient it was to keep them.
It's not vinyl, it's a rubber/neoprene composite. The squares are 36" X 36" X 1/4", they weigh about 5 lb each. I salvaged about a dozen and a half of some red with white speckles out of a dumpster in Baltimore last summer. Dirt will stick to them pretty easily. They don't do to well where temperatures fluctuate plus or minus 15 degrees, they expand and contract as temperatures rise and fall. I don't think expansion and contraction will be an issue because the interior temperature of the cars is pretty stable and the product is being glued to the sub floors.
Serious question. I'm wondering about whether or not this stuff is easier to stand on over long trips relative to the carpet.
The product is similar to stand workstation floor mats, only thinner.
that will solve all our problems:
No more metro meltdown! No more 24 min wait on the weekend! No more cracked rails when it is barely freezing! No more rude employees!
We will be on time at meeting, the ride will be smoother, we will have big smiles granted every day from the metro employees and the fares will go down!
Thank you metro for all your improvements!
And thank you GGW to forward Metro Propaganda.
But hey, fix that carpet to vinyl finally after years of wasting money shampooing them. That's priority.

PATTON - A Tuesday afternoon vehicle chase ended on a dead-end street with a Blair County man in custody, police said.
Adam David Weigand, 25, of Hollidaysburg was jailed late Tuesday in Cambria County Prison, police said.
Weigand was wanted in South Carolina but authorities said he won't be extradited. Online court records show two cases: one for marijuana possession, and the other for driving without a license.
His girlfriend and their child were in the vehicle during the chase and were not injured, officers said. The woman wasn't charged.
Cresson Borough police initiated a traffic stop on Front Street and Ashcroft Avenue about 1 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Weigand fled north on Route 53 before turning left on Route 36 toward Patton.
Weigand evaded officers' attempts to deploy spike strips on the road, Cresson police said.
The pursuit came to an end when Weigand turned onto a dead-end street in Patton, police said.
"We were able to get the car stopped in Patton," Patton Police Chief Vincent Leppert said.
Officers pinned the vehicle against a guardrail and a telephone pole to end the pursuit, Leppert said.
Weigand exited the vehicle and was taken into custody, Leppert said. No injuries were reported during the chase, but a Patton police cruiser was damaged, he said.
Weigand was arraigned before on-call Magisterial District Judge Galen F. Decort on aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, recklessly endangering another person, fleeing or eluding, resisting arrest charges and vehicle violations.
Weigand was sentenced Dec. 4 to two to 12 months in Cambria County Prison for a probation violation in a criminal trespass/drug paraphernalia case, online court records state. He was given credit for time served and immediately released on parole.
Officers from Cresson, Gallitzin, Cambria Township and Ebensburg and state troopers were involved in the pursuit, Leppert said.

Verification of age, citizenship, and identity must be completed before any individual, adult or child, is eligible to be included in the assistance group.
(A) What is acceptable documentation of age? (1) A civil birth record or a church record of birth or baptism established before age five are primary documents used to verify age.
(2) Alternate documents are acceptable and must be used to avoid delaying assistance to an otherwise eligible individual. Examples of alternate documents include but are not limited to:
(a) School records;
(b) Insurance policies;
(c) Draft card; and (d) Official hospital records.
(3) The alternate document must show the applicant's name and date of birth or age and should be at least one year old (unless it is for a child under age one).
(B) What is acceptable documentation of identity?
(1) Documents used to identify an individual include but are not limited to :
(a) Driver's license;
(b) Day care or nursery school records;
(c) Voter's registration;
(d) Insurance policies;
(e) Military papers;
(f) United States (U.S.) passport; and
(g) Vaccination certificates.
(2) The county agency must be able to compare the information on the documentation with the information on the application or with the individual to ensure identification.
(3) A birth or baptismal certificate is not evidence of identity. Children under age seven will generally have some type of evidence of identity in addition to a birth certificate. However, if such a child (e.g., a newborn infant) has absolutely no other documentary evidence, the birth certificate alone will be acceptable as long as the eligibility worker has no reason to doubt that the child actually exists.
(C) What is acceptable documentation of citizenship?
(1) Every assistance group member is required to establish U.S. citizenship or legal alien status, and must submit at least one document showing U.S. birthplace or in some way indicating U.S. citizenship. "U.S.-born" refers to an individual born in one of the fifty states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Swain's Island or American Samoa.
(a) If the applicant is a U.S.-born citizen, a civilian birth, baptismal, or church certificate specifically displaying a U.S. birthplace may be used as verification.
(b) If the applicant is a foreign-born U.S. citizen, a citizen certification, U.S. passport, consular's certification of birth, or certificate of naturalization may be used as verification.
(c) If the applicant is an alien, his status may be verified by forms issued from the United States citizenship and immigration services (USCIS).

Room for Progressives In Today's Democratic Party?
Gene Rothman: Regrettably, at this time, there is virtually no Left to counter the Tea Party and other right-wing forces: not a labor movement, a women's movement, a peace movement—no counterattack from anywhere (although the immigrant-rights movement is a possible exception).
Progressive Critics Help Obama and Democrats
Randy Shaw: Holding self-identified "progressive" politicians like Barack Obama accountable for fulfilling campaign commitments actually improves the chances for progressive election victories, as it pressures Democrats to satisfy their base. And as the critical midterm elections approach, ensuring this grassroots base is motivated and mobilizable by holding Obama and Congressional Democrats accountable is even more imperative.

Speaker Pelosi and the Revival of Progressive Politics in America
Randy Shaw: Yet Ronald Peters' and Cindy Simon Rosenthal's just-released book, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the New American Politics , shows that Nancy Pelosi played a far greater role than is realized in reviving progressive politics after the disappointing 2004 defeats. Pelosi shaped the Democrats message, framed attacks on Bush and the Republican Party, maintained party unity and then delivered for progressives after becoming Speaker in 2006. Nancy Pelosi is not only the most powerful female politician in United States history, but she may also be the most effective progressive national elected official of her time.
