I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Birganj, Parsa Distrct, Nepal, from February 2002 to April 2004, and served as an English Language Teacher Trainer in the group N/194, the last Peace Corps group to COS in country before the program in Nepal was suspended in September 2004. I blogged extensively about my Peace Corps experience in Nepal as it was happening. My tag line is the best introduction to my site, stating "Scott was a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal from 02/2002 to 04/2004. Most days it was exciting; others, however . . . ."
I started my Peace Corps application in July 2001. After meeting with a Peace Corps recruiter, I was told I would be going to Bangladesh, Mongolia, Nepal, or Thailand. I wavered between Mongolia and Nepal. A couple weeks later, when I came home from work, my invitation letter from the Peace Corps was waiting for me. Nepal it would be. I was excited. I read about Nepal and Hinduism. I created a Web site. And I still had months before my departure.
Description of service
My complete DOS statement is available in the documents section of my Peace Corps experience blog. While the DOS statement is the official record of my service in Nepal, I feel as though its odd third-person language and focus on numbers doesn't represent the breadth and scope of the affect my work had on me personally and on those with whom I worked, whether for a day or a month, during my two years in Nepal.
After completing a competitive application processes stressing applicant skills, adaptability, and
cross-cultural understanding, Mr. Scott Allan Wallick was invited into Peace Corps service. He was assigned for his first year of service to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at the primary level and for his second year worked as an English Language Teacher Trainer (ELTT)with primary-level English teachers.
Volunteer blog
My blog, The Peace Corps Experience of Scott Allan Wallick, began in January 2002, about one month before my departure to Nepal. At first, I uploaded static HTML files via FTP to a private Web server. By June 2002, though, I moved my content to the service Blogger, which was bought by Google in February 2003. I mention this because Google offered the entire Blogger service for free. I had subscribed to the original (and then defunct) for-pay Blogger service. Google sent Blogger hooded sweatshirts in lieu of paid fees. I was impressed when my hooded sweatshirt arrived at post three months later. After returning to the United States, the whole content of my blog was migrated from Blogger to a personal server running WordPress.
In December 2004, in short due to pressure from the Peace Corps office in Washington, DC, a senior official at Peace Corps/Nepal contacted me regarding my blog and asked me to remove a number of posts, which were provided by title. I complied, removed the posts, and later, after I completed my service successfully, reposted those articles. I wrote generally about the incident in Blogging in the Peace Corps.
Later, this incident was featured on Peace Corps Online on February 24, 2004, which did not help with my goal of getting through my last two months of service without an 'political' conflicts with the either Peace Corps/Nepal or Washington.
Blog resources
I posted my complete packing list and then, a few months in to my Peace Corps service, added a packing list addendum. My main thoughts being to take the least amount of clothes and more items that might be hard to get or replace in country.
The documents section contains a few documents from when I was a teacher trainer. I should stipulate that these documents are posted here as-was, i.e., I haven't edited or revised them after the fact, even though now I might know better. The documents are licensed with the GNU Free Documentation License.
After Peace Corps
After getting married in Darjeeling, India, in June 2004, my wife and I arrived in the United States in September 2004. I began working as an editor, am still an avid photographer, and return to Nepal and India regularly. I have contributed to the Friends of Nepal, Peace Corps Writers, and the America-Nepal Friendship Society. I also frequently participate at Peace Corps recruiting events in the New York City area on behalf of the New York Peace Corps Regional Office.

In last week's article, we were left hanging in the
/usr/share/man directory. In today's article, we'll manipulate the files in this directory and learn something about formatted text, unformatted text, compressed data, and control characters. And, after traveling this circuitous route, we may even learn something interesting about manpages.
Let's do an
ls of the directory where the manpages are stored:
cd /usr/share/man
ls -aF
./ cat4/ catn/ man4/ mann/
../ cat5/ ja/ man5/ whatis
cat1/ cat6/ man1/ man6/
cat1aout/ cat7/ man1aout/ man7/
cat2/ cat8/ man2/ man8/
cat3/ cat9/ man3/ man9/
Remember that there are subdirectories for each of the 9 sections of the manual. The subdirectories that begin with
man contain unformatted data; the subdirectories that begin with
cat contain pre-formatted data. In just a moment, we'll do an exercise that will show the difference between formatted and unformatted data.
But first, do an
ls of the
man1 and
cat1 directories; I've snipped my output (indicated by
<snip>) to just show the first 10 lines of each. You can
ls more than one directory at a time; use
-C to keep the multi-column output:
ls -C man1 cat1 |more
./ indent.1.gz pkg_version.1.gz
../ indxbib.1.gz pl2pm.1.gz
CC.1.gz info.1.gz pod2html.1.gz
Mail.1.gz install-info.1.gz pod2man.1.gz

a2p.1.gz intro.1.gz pr.1.gz
addftinfo.1.gz introduction.1.gz printenv.1.gz
addr2line.1.gz ipcrm.1.gz printf.1.gz
alias.1.gz ipcs.1.gz ps.1.gz
alloc.1.gz ipftest.1.gz psbb.1.gz
./ indent.1.gz pkg_version.1.gz
../ indxbib.1.gz pl2pm.1.gz
CC.1.gz info.1.gz pod2html.1.gz
Mail.1.gz install-info.1.gz pod2man.1.gz
[.1.gz install.1.gz popd.1.gz
a2p.1.gz intro.1.gz pr.1.gz
addftinfo.1.gz introduction.1.gz printenv.1.gz
addr2line.1.gz ipcrm.1.gz printf.1.gz
alias.1.gz ipcs.1.gz ps.1.gz
alloc.1.gz ipftest.1.gz psbb.1.gz
Notice that every file has a
.gz extension. This means that all of the manpages have been compressed to conserve disk space. This is a good thing, as the online manual is huge. The utility used to compress the files is called
When I first discovered
gzip, I thought, "What a great way to conserve disk space"; at the time I had a 602 MB drive and disk space was an issue. I merrily became the superuser (mistake number one), went to the root directory (mistake number two), and told
gzip to compress every file on my FreeBSD system while giving me stats on how much space I had saved by issuing the command
gzip -rv (trust me, you don't want to try that one). After I had finished rendering that installation of FreeBSD useless, I learned a valuable lesson: Keep the files that came compressed with FreeBSD compressed, and keep the files that came uncompressed with FreeBSD uncompressed.
However, feel free to compress any files you have created in your home directory; compression can also be very useful when you want to e-mail a file to someone. Let's say I want to e-mail a friend a PDF file; PDF files are notoriously large, and my poor friend is still using his old 14.4 kbps modem. I can save him some time downloading that e-mail attachment if I do this first:
cd ~/pdf_files ls -l framerel.pdf-rwxr-xr-x 1 genisis wheel 31840 Sep 26 16:01 framerel.pdf
gzip -v framerel.pdfframerel.pdf: 32.9% -- replaced with framerel.pdf.gz
ls -l framerel*-rwxr-xr-x 1 genisis wheel 21392 Sep 26 16:01 framerel.pdf.gz
Notice that the gzip utility was able to compress this file by about a third of its original size; it also replaced the original file with its compressed counterpart and added a
.gz extension to the original name.
When my friend receives this file, he won't be able to do anything with it until he uncompresses it like so:
gunzip framerel.pdf
Note that my friend didn't have to specify the
.gz extension as
gunzip assumes the file it is unzipping will have a
.gz extension and will complain if it doesn't.
This is also a good time to introduce the
file utility; if anyone e-mails you an attachment or you happen to find a file on your FreeBSD system and don't know what type of data it contains, don't just send it to your screen using the
cat or
more commands. If it is not a text file, it may do nasty things to your screen. The
file command will tell you what type of data is contained within the file like so:
framerel.pdf.gz: gzip compressed data, deflated, original filename, last
modified: Tue Sep 26 16:01:34 2000, os: Unix
file framerel.pdf.gz
gunzip frame*
file framerel.pdf
framerel.pdf: PDF document, version 1.2
This is very useful information as I now know that the contents of this file will appear as random garbage characters unless I use a reader specifically designed to read
Let's compare these outputs to an executable file, say the
ls command:
/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
whereis -b lsls: /bin/ls
file /bin/ls
And finally, let's compare it to a file I created using an editor and saved as myfile:
file myfile
myfile: ASCII text
Out of the four
file commands, the last command was the only one that revealed ASCII text; therefore,
myfile is the only file that is safe to send to the
more or
cat commands or to a text editor.
Now, let's go back to the
/usr/share/man directory to look at the difference between the unformatted manpages contained in the
man subdirectories and the formatted manpages contained in the
cat subdirectories. Since all of the manpages have been
gzipped, you will have to first uncompress the data using the
gunzip utility, then use
cat or
more to view the data, then finally remember to re-compress the file so you can continue to conserve disk space. Fortunately, the
zcat utility seamlessly does all three of these steps for you.
zcat the
whatis manpage, as it is a nice short manpage that fits on one screen. We'll start with the unformatted version:
zcat man1/whatis.1
View the output of this command here.
Notice that this doesn't look anything like the
whatis manpage as you are used to seeing it. (If you forget what the
whatis manpage looks like, do a
man whatis.) Instead, this file contains remarks and formatting commands along with the actual data. Let's compare this to the pre-formatted version
contained within the cat subdirectory:
zcat cat1/whatis.1
View the output of this command here.
Notice that the pre-formatted version looks like the manpage you are used to seeing, minus the highlighting. However, something very interesting happens if we try to save a formatted manpage into a file. Let's send the output of
zcatting the formatted
whatis manpage to a test file in our home directory:
zcat cat1/whatis.1 > ~/test
Now, let's view the test file using the
cat utility:
cat ~/test
Your test file should look exactly like the
whatis.1 file. Now, send the test file to the
more paging utility:
more ~/test
Your results should look exactly like a manpage, with highlighting included. Finally, open up the test file using your favorite text editor; I'll use Pico, but you can use any editor.
pico ~/test
View the output of this command here.
Yuck, what a mess. It's funny how a lot of
^H characters can make a file so unreadable. However, if you look very carefully, and mentally try to remove the
^H's, you should be able to recognize the text in your file. In case you're wondering,
^H is the control character for highlighting text.
We've just discovered an interesting difference in functionality between the
cat utility, the
more utility, and an editor. By default,
cat ignores control characters,
more interprets control characters, and text editors display control characters. Thus we have an unhighlighted but readable file with
cat, a highlighted file with
more, and a mess with a text editor.
You can force
cat to display control characters instead of ignoring them by using a switch. Try this:
cat -v ~/test
Your output should display all of the
^H characters, just like the text editor did.
Understanding this behavior will come in handy if you ever want to send a manpage to a file: Perhaps you want to transfer some manpages to your non-Unix laptop or want to include some interesting snippets of a manpage when replying to an e-mail. If you just redirect the output of the
man command to a file like this:
man whatis > ~/test
your resulting file will contain all of those irritating
^H characters. However, if you pipe the output through the
col command before sending it to your file, you will lose the
^H characters. Try it:
man whatis | col -b > ~/test
then send
~/test to your favorite text editor to see the difference.
If you read the manpage for the
col command, you'll discover why this works; the
col command discards all of the control characters it doesn't recognize. And, fortunately for us,
col doesn't recognize that many control characters.
This trick is also very handy if you ever transfer an ASCII file from an MS-DOS-based operating system to your FreeBSD system. If you've ever done this before, you've discovered that MS-DOS-based operating systems put a
^M at the end of every line to indicate the carriage return. You could use your arrow keys to navigate to each of these characters so you can press the delete key, but it is much easier to do this:
col -b < dosfile > unixfile
This command tells
col to strip the control characters from a file called
dosfile and then send the results to a new file called
Or, if it's too late and you've already opened up the file in
vi, try this:
:%! col -bx
This will remove all of those pesky
^M or
^H characters without having to leave
vi. We'll save the explanation of how that works for a later article dealing with the
vi editor.
Now we've finally reached the part of the article where we can tie together all of this stuff to better understand how the
man command works. When you type:
man name_of_manpage
man utility searches the
/usr/share/man subdirectories, in order, for the first reference of the manpage you wish to view. You can alter this default behavior like so:
man -a name_of_manpage
which will force
man to read all of the subdirectories; this switch is useful if you think a manpage is in more than one section in the manual and you wish to view them all.
man doesn't find the manpage here, it will then look in
/usr/local/man. If you do a listing of this directory and its subdirectories, you will find the manpages for the programs you installed yourself: i.e., any ports or packages that you built.
man has found the manpage, the formatted copy is sent to a pager so it can be displayed on your screen one page at a time. If you are using FreeBSD 4.0 or earlier, the default pager is the
more utility. If you are using FreeBSD 4.1 or later, the default pager is the
less utility. In true
Unix style, the
less utility actually offers more functionality than the
more utility. Regardless of which pager your system uses, the pager will correctly interpret the
^H characters to expose the highlighted text. If you prefer to read your manpages without that glaring white text, you can start your manpage like so:
man whatis | col -b | more
You can substitute the word
more with
less if you prefer the
less paging utility.
We've covered a lot of ground in the last couple of articles. In the next few articles I want to discuss some of the neat utilities that can be built using the ports collection.

1. Re: Intel my wifi technology: Adapter is not foundIlenek Mar 17, 2010 12:45 PM (in response to note150)
Hi Komsit,
I would recommend doing a complete uninstall of the Intel(R) PROSet Wireless Software - http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-030416.htm.
Then download the software and review the instructions on How to install Intel® My WiFi Technology (Intel® MWT) - http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/mywf/sb/CS-030009.htm to ensure that the software is installed properly.
Let me know if this resolves your issue.

I have taken these steps but it did not resolve my problem. I have a Toshiba E205-S1904 and tried to update the driver via a package and now I have no WiFi adapter (not found( and I cannot recognize any wireless network in my area. and I know there are at least 5 of them.
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting the exact same error on my Toshiba E205. I first noticed it after installing some Windows updates. I uninstalled these but that didn't fix the problem. I also tried the steps mentioned above and they didn't fix the problem either. I've updated all drivers from the Toshiba and Intel websites too. Please help us out!!!

Hi Ilene.
I have been using an older Cisco wireless router for some time and it's been working fine. I just upgraded my router and my new Dell with Vista works like a champ. But my older Dell Inspiron (XP) couldn't see the network. I downloaded new PRO/Wireless SW from Dell and it now sees the network. But I cannot get the router to authorize the laptop (or vice versa?). I've had the laptop generate a code (several times) and registered it with the router and I've plugged the info on the router into PRO/Wireless. They both come back as failed to authorize. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong? I spent hours on this last night. Many thanks...

My Wireless display was working perfectly and suddenly it stopped working i guess this is because of the latest Windows 7 update, i have a Toshiba Satellite E205 and it has the exactly same issue. Also i downloaded the latest updates for the Intel display and wireless displays from Toshiba website and it did uninstall and install of all the display drivers and i am still getting the same issue. Has anyone resolved this issue, i will wait for some days and if there is no resolution i am planning to return the laptop to Best Buy.

Yet another, same exact issue E205 PSE20U-002001, also immediately after update, also from best buy. Also going back if I can't figure it out.
Intel Manual Diagnostics Tool passes the first two tests (Hardware & Driver) but the rest just get stuck on "running", and the Troubleshoot button is never enabled...Nothing gets recorded in the "Wireless Event Viewer" even when selecting Enable Driver Event Logging for Standard and Troubleshooting. WiFi advanced statistics brings up the UAC warning but never does anything...Grrrrrr
7. Re: Intel my wifi technology: Adapter is not foundsharadunni Apr 20, 2010 2:04 PM (in response to hishopper)
In my case it fails the hardware test itself, i am sure this issue is with either Microsft, Intel or Toshiba and all are playing blame games for now. I am going to Best Buy today and will update what the Geek Squad says for this issue.
8. Re: Intel my wifi technology: Adapter is not foundkurt17870 Apr 20, 2010 6:23 PM (in response to sharadunni)
Please let us know what you find out! I've tried a restore...the E205 will not perform the task. I've also tried a backup so I could do a system recovery and the backup failed, stating I can't perform the task in safe mode which is bull b/c I restarted several times making sure it started up regularly. I'm really at a loss. The wireless display was the main reason I bought the notebook.
9. Re: Intel my wifi technology: Adapter is not foundsharadunni Apr 21, 2010 1:21 PM (in response to kurt17870)
OK so here is an update, i went to BestBuy yesterday and spoke to one of the guys in Geek Squad and he didn't had a clue what i was trying to tell. After a long discussion the solution he proposed was he will do a firmware update first (free of cost) and then he will restore the system to the base version (140$ for doing this), i said the firmware update is not going to work as i have done all these ***** and System restore i can do it on my own (why should i pay $140 when the warranty is still there). I also told them that if nothing happens then i would return the laptop then he counter argued saying there would be 15% deduction for the packaging. I said there is a real problem with this laptop and you will start getting compliants about it, I am returning this becasue i have a problem with this. So he agreed to waive the packaging fees on one condition that i would go for the other 2 models not toshiba, i am not going to go for a Dell one which looks Gay to me and Vaio for all its features its too costly. As i had to do a System restore (Start->Accessories->System Tools -> System Restore) i left the store recahed home and was able to do a restore dated 8th April 2010 and what it started working. So looks like this is all beacause of the Windows Update after that this has happend. To confirm i updated windows again and it stopped working. So the only solution is do a Restore for the date i mentioned and then disable Windows Update till someone in Intel/Toshiba finds a fix for this.

I wish I had the time to step through micro$oft updates one at a time to let everyone know which one is breaking the Intel My Wifi, but I probably won't. However count this post as confirmation that it is a windows update that is breaking it... I also did a system restore, to the earliest point I could find (only a couple of days ago) and my Intel utility is also now working fine. I haven't disabled windows updates, but I'm keeping an eye on the utility in the system tray, which will complain as soon as it's broken again and maybe I can post more then...

Interesting issue being observed on this thread. It would be helpful to find out a date range of when this happened and which Windows 7 update may be believed to be involved in the issue (or group of window updates around the time period of the occurance). While I don't think this may be associated, I assume that everyone has updated thier Intel wireless display version to 1.2 . Toshiba update page has Wireless display update 1.2 at : http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2520788&rpn=PSE20U&modelFilter=E205-S1904&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663
and the Intel update page for Intel Wireless Display also has the same update :

For Immediate Release
January 27, 2009
State Board recommends streamlined budget for FY 2010; Focus on core agency mission
Board recommends 2% increase to fund General State Aid and Mandates
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education today recommended a Fiscal Year 2010 budget to the Governor and General Assembly that includes an increase of approximately $173 million. The budget recommended by the Board would increase state funding to education by about 2%, with the increase going primarily to General State Aid (GSA) and fully funding Mandated Categoricals, such as special education and transportation costs. If approved by the General Assembly, the $173 million increase would be the lowest increase in education funding during the past decade, with the exception of Fiscal Year 2003 when funding for education was reduced.
"We know this is going to be a very tight budget year for all aspects of state government, but we feel that our commitment to education and our commitment to Illinois' future depends upon providing schools with additional funding, even as districts face the same financial difficulties the state faces," said Jesse H. Ruiz, Chairman of the Illinois State Board of Education. "This budget balances today's financial realities with our education priorities."
As part of the budget making process, the State Board directed staff to recalculate the Education Funding Advisory Board's (EFAB) GSA Foundation Level for FY 2010. Using the methodology employed by EFAB the GSA Foundation Level recommendation would be $7,388, an increase of $1,429 per student over the FY 2009 GSA Foundation Level. Raising the GSA Foundation Level to this amount would require an increase to the state's education budget of $2.15 billion.
"While we would like to see funding at the EFAB levels, realistically we know the state can't afford a $2 billion increase to its education budget at this time," said Michael A. Jacoby, Executive Director of the Illinois Association of School Business Officials. "We support the board's decision to fully fund Mandated Categoricals and given the current state of the economy, we are very pleased with the increase in General State Aid."
The Board decided to recommend an increase in General State Aid of $114 million, which translates into an increase in the GSA Foundation Level to $6,089 or $130 per student. In addition, the Board also voted to fully fund Mandated Categoricals, or services such as summer school, free and reduced breakfast/lunch programs, transportation and special education, which local schools are mandated to provide. In order to fully fund Mandated Categoricals an increase of $145 million is required.
"Local districts are feeling the effects of our nation's economic crisis. Any increase in state funding is greatly appreciated, especially when it is directed towards fully funding mandates and General State Aid," said Diane Rutledge, Executive Director of the Large Unit District Association. "The approach the board is taking will benefit the most students and give districts the greatest flexibility in meeting the needs of the children we serve."
As part of its budget making process, the board re-prioritized some of the grants and programs that it funds, collapsing more than $111 million in specialty programs and instead directing those funds into General State Aid, which allows districts more flexibility to spend those dollars, and funding for services required by state and federal law.
Other highlights of the State Board budget recommendation for FY 2010 include:
- $12.5 million increase in early childhood programs.
- $7.9 million increase for bilingual education; the Board also recommends a legislative change in the funding formula of bilingual education to allow for more equity in the distribution of these funds to all districts to better reflect the state's changing demographics.
- $5.2 million increase in agency operations; this item has been reduced from $31 million in 2006 to $24 million in FY 2009; while agency headcount has decreased from nearly 800 just prior to No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 to less than 500 currently. This increase is needed to allow the agency to modernize technology, meet labor contracts and comply with state and federal regulations.
- $4 million increase in new programs to improve student performance and better prepare students for success after they graduate. These funds would allow for development to begin on a longitudinal data system that would support better analysis of student performance from pre-school through post-graduate studies. In addition, funds would be used for Illinois' participation in the American Diploma Project to review and revise our K-12 learning standards to better prepare students for college and careers.
- $1.5 million increase to assist six low-performing high school districts.
The Board based its decisions regarding programs and funding on several key principles, including support for the largest number of students and greatest flexibility for districts, minimizing the introduction of new programs and mandates in order to conserve resources and the alignment to ISBE's strategic plan goals:
- Every student will demonstrate academic achievement and be prepared for success after high school.
- Every student will be supported by highly prepared and effective teachers and school leaders.
- Every school will offer a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
The Illinois State Board of Education will provide its budget recommendation to the Governor and General Assembly for consideration as part of the overall State FY 2010 state budget.

c Magnet Schools Assistance program
At River Glen Elementary & Middle School, halls and classrooms resonate with a lively but unusual sound mix: young voices speaking both Spanish and English. Even on the playground, neither language dominates the other. Hallway posters for school events are in both Spanish and English. In a third-grade classroom where students are giving presentations about their heroes, a native-English-speaking student, dressed in full baseball uniform, speaks about Jackie Robinson in fluent Spanish, fielding questions from his classmates—also in Spanish.
The school's mission is to prepare students for a future in a global society through a two-way immersion program that produces bilingual, biliterate students who appreciate different cultures and communities. All River Glen students learn a second language without compromising their first—equal value is placed on both. The unique curriculum requires continuity through the grades, so River Glen parents are asked for a five-year commitment to the school.
Today, after celebrating 20 years as one of the district's first magnets, the school's dual immersion philosophy—instilling in all students the value of speaking more than one language and honoring each other—is increasingly popular and River Glen's waiting list is lengthy. "It's a chosen community," one teacher observes. "Everybody gravitated together out of a common vision."
Founding and Early Challenges
River Glen began in 1986 as a strand-within-a-school program to recruit white, African-American, and Asian families into a local elementary school that was over 90 percent Hispanic. Starting with just three classes-two kindergarten and one first-grade-the program gradually expanded, growing so popular that within six years it had developed into a dedicated elementary magnet school at its current facility, and within 12 years, it spanned K-8.
San Jose is diverse but ethnically segregated. When state law required the city to replace older school buildings with new earthquake-proof retrofitted facilities, local Hispanic families, fearing that replacing schools in their original locations would maintain segregation, filed a desegregation lawsuit, causing the district to rethink its enrollment process. River Glen was one of the first magnets created as a result. Nestled along the border of both a middle-class white community and a working-class Hispanic neighborhood, its new location is ideal for recruiting a mix of native English and Spanish speakers.
Implementing a Successful Program
River Glen's commitment to dual immersion is evident in every classroom. In one kindergarten class, students are actively learning at multiple centers. When a student asks the teacher in English, "Do you have a pencil?" the teacher repeats the student's question in Spanish and answers it as well, never once using English. While all activities and instruction in this classroom are in Spanish, students are encouraged to talk informally and help one another in English. In this way, all students learn formal Spanish language and conversational English.
In their first year at River Glen, students receive most instruction in Spanish and a small amount in English. Those proportions shift each subsequent year so that by the fifth grade, half the instruction is in English and half in Spanish. Instructional delivery is monolingual at all times—teachers never use translations for comprehension. And in early grades, children switch teachers for different language instruction, so the students don't even realize that their primary teacher knows how to speak English.
Students are expected to learn to read and write fluently in both languages and are required to pass rigorous standardized tests in English as well as in Spanish. River Glen's rigor and capable staff have helped students achieve at high levels on such tests and, on average, outperform the district.
"A fundamental principle of the dual immersion model," one teacher explains, "is that teachers must build on what kids already know." Teachers employ a variety of strategies to tailor their instruction to the needs of students, using facial expressions and body language to clarify a point. Student groups are linguistically mixed in River Glen's classrooms. The teacher speaks to students in one of the two languages and often uses small-group instruction in order to pull out a few children at a time for personalized reading instruction. In addition, each grade-level team has developed yearly curriculum outlines that assist with student instruction and cross-grade-level articulation.
Professional development is critical to sustaining River Glen's theme. While many staff members have had extensive backgrounds in bilingual education, they need to develop a very specific set of skills to implement a language immersion education program. In-house and preservice trainings help staff learn to team-teach, presenting the same lessons as their counterparts. Teachers must be innovative, using nonverbal forms of communication to explain challenging concepts. Each Tuesday, early dismissal of students gives staff the second half of the day to meet in grade-level teams and plan lessons.
Establishing Systems for Sustainability
While River Glen has a proven record of academic success established by early principals Rosa Molina and Cecilia Barrie, the current principal Mildred Colon-Arellano and her staff are focused on continuing to improve dual language mastery, closing the achievement gap, increasing the rigor of professional development, and meeting requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. While student subgroups are performing at the same level or exceeding their counterparts throughout the district, an achievement gap between white and Hispanic students persists. To address this, staff analyze benchmark assessments from the previous year to help identify areas of need and then make adjustments across the curriculum. Teachers assess and then revise their lesson plans to teach for student mastery.
Along with ongoing support from the district, several key community partnerships have contributed to River Glen's success. An affiliate of the California Association for Bilingual Education, 2-Way CABE, helps staff plan and implement two-way immersion programs. Through this partnership, River Glen staff members receive professional development and curriculum training and often are asked to help mentor other school leaders who want to put a similar program in place. An important resource for instructional assistance, San Jose State University (SJSU) sends its student teachers to River Glen, with many eventually joining the teaching staff. SJSU professors showcase the school as a realworld model of a successful two-way language immersion program, and in exchange provide River Glen staff with teacher resources related to the program model.
Even local businesses have helped with the program's outreach to create awareness about the benefits of dual immersion. Partnerships in the past have included Hewlett-Packard, through the district's Adopt a School program; the local public library branch, Biblioteca Latinoamerica; and Hicklebee's children's bookstore. Prior to River Glen's arrival, Hicklebee's did not carry books in Spanish. As parents kept visiting in search of these books, the store saw the demand. "Now there's a wall of Spanish books," says founding principal Molina.
Passionate about the school's dual immersion program and inclusive culture, parents are part of the school community in many meaningful ways. The middle school program, in fact, was developed chiefly out of parents' desire to extend their children's bilingual learning experience. The school's success with parents is notable, given that the two-way language immersion program asks parents to make a leap of faith, accepting that spending a lot of classroom time in kindergarten learning Spanish will lead to being literate in English down the road.
Most of River Glen's marketing and public outreach efforts took place around the school's inception-more than 20 years ago. To create a dual immersion program, the school needed more native-English-speaking students to achieve a linguistic balance in each classroom. Recruitment was one family at a time in those early years. "We had to get it right from the beginning," Molina recalls, and luckily, "the community embraced it."
The school, unlike the district as a whole, has achieved adequate yearly progress for the last six consecutive school years. Due to the success of River Glen, the district has expanded the two-way immersion model to a neighboring school and is considering plans to add two more sites.
Sustaining Success at River Glen Elementary & Middle School: Milestones"
River Glen began as an experimental magnet strand within a neighborhood school. As the dual immersion theme proved to be successful, it became a dedicated elementary magnet with its own site, and eventually grew into a K-8 school. Today, River Glen hosts university students as well as district, state, and national visitors who want to learn from an established model about the dual immersion approach.

Yes. All states and Canadian provinces require licensing for chiropractors. To be licensed, a chiropractor must have earned a Doctor of Chiropractic [1] (DC) degree from an accredited institution and must have passed a four-part national board examination.
Individual states have their own additional requirements and licensure limitations, and in most cases, a state board of chiropractic examiners oversees practitioners.
A chiropractor's professional responsibility to diagnose and treat patients and the range of services he or she can offer varies from state to state under licensure laws. Some states, for example, do not allow chiropractors to perform certain diagnostic tests in their offices. Some states allow chiropractors to offer additional therapies, such as homeopathy [2] or acupuncture [3] or the distribution of nutritional supplements, and some don't.
Most states require chiropractors to earn continuing education credits to maintain their licenses. This typically requires about 20-25 continuing medical education hours each year in areas such as radiography, professional boundaries, and clinical skills development.
Students must complete at least three years of preparatory college work with an emphasis in the life sciences to be admitted into chiropractic schools.
Chiropractic coursework for the degree program of Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) typically includes:
Chiropractic training is a rigorous four-year academic program consisting of both classroom and clinical instruction. This is followed by state licensure board examinations, which chiropractors must pass in order to practice.
Some chiropractic colleges also offer postgraduate courses, including two to three year residency programs in subspecialty areas such as nutrition, orthopedics, neurology, pediatrics, rehabilitation and imaging.

Pastor Bruno went on to explain the Gospel lesson taken from John 21 verses 1-19. Some of the disciples were out fishing and not catching anything when Jesus appeared on the shore and told them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat. This was the third appearance of Jesus to the disciples after the resurrection and the disciples had not recognized Jesus. (It is curious that they had gone back to their former jobs and not done as Jesus had told them to do to go out into the world and spread the good news.) The disciples cast their nets on the right side of the boat and their nets were filled with 153 fish. The harvest was plentiful when God is involved. The disciples had been with Jesus for three years and now they had forgotten so quickly what they were to do. Do we deny him when we go out in the world? Jesus had told the disciples as well as his followers that we are to be fishers of men and the Holy Spirit will guide us in doing just that. We are to love and tend to people in the fold and be Christians out in the world. We are to "feed my lambs".
Our call is to work with God. Our motivation is the love, joy, peace, compassion, and more that God puts in our hearts, which then "compel us" (see 2 Corinthians 5:14) to care for others and see them reconciled to God.
You may be familiar with the serenity prayer which Reinhold Niebuhr wrote: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen"
Worship services at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Runge are at 8:30 a.m. Sunday mornings with Adult Bible study of Revelation and children's Sunday school following.

- Title
- Entanglement evolution of two remote and non-identical Jaynes-Cummings atoms
- Author(s)
- Chan, Stanley; Reid, M. D.; Ficek, Z.
- Abstract
- A detailed treatment of the entanglement dynamics of two distant but non-identical systems is presented. We study the entanglement evolution of two remote atoms interacting independently with a cavity field, as in the double Jaynes-Cummings model. The four-qubit pairwise concurrences are studied, allowing for asymmetric atom-cavity couplings and off-resonant interactions. Counter to intuition, imperfect matching can prove advantageous to entanglement creation and evolution. For two types of initial entanglement, corresponding to spin-correlated and anti-correlated Bell states phi and psi, a full, periodic and directed transfer of entanglement into a specific qubit pair is possible, for resonant interactions, depending on the choice of relative couplings. Furthermore, entanglement transfer and sudden death (ESD) can be prevented using off-resonant interactions, although for some initial states, detunings will trigger an otherwise frozen entanglement, to allow a full entanglement transfer.

Hi, this is the first time I have posted, but I have been lurking for a while. Any advice would be welcome as I am on the verge of stopping BF and I really want to continue.
My DD is 7 weeks and the last few days I have found her really fussy and unsettled. I am worried I haven't got enough milk for her even though she has lots of wet nappies, and there are soiled ones at least twice a day, but still I am concerned. Each feed only ever takes about 20 minutes max, but I am worried this is not long enough for her to get the rich milk?
I have only ever fed on one side at each feed, is this wrong, should I be switching each time? She is never normally fussy after a feed and she usually comes off on her own and goes to sleep or falls asleep whilst feeding. I am worried that if I switch to feeding off both at each feed, I will not have enough for the next feed, if you know what I mean?
I am also worried she is not draining the breast fully, as she is appearing to get frustrated after about 10 minutes of feeding and in turn I am worried that this will mean my milk supply will gradually reduce and reduce.
In short, I am worried about the whole BF issue. I only managed to make it to 12 weeks with my DS and I really wanted to try and make 6 months this time minimum. So down about the whole thing, even my OH is trying to convince me to give her some formula, just so I stop whining about it all the time

Wanting to learn how
I would appreciate any advice from experienced bamboo rod builders concerning how to learn and build these beautiful rods. I have looked into classes that are offered; such as those at "Oyster Bamboo" in Blue Ridge GA. What are your recommendations and past experiences.
If you already have basic rod building skills it is possible to purchase a bamboo blank and construct a rod. As a former professional custom rod builder(glass/graphite) I have done this with mixed reviews on the finished product. There are different techniques required and a lot depends on the blank you recieve. To build a bamboo blank requires carpentry skills and a lot of experience to get it right. Many blanks go in the kindling pile before an acceptable one is produced. Most bamboo builders have worked as an apprentice to a master craftsman for quite a while. I have nothing but respect and admiration for a master bamboo builder! I don't mean to discourage you but if you really want to get into this find a master to learn from and be prepared to put in the time to learn this vanishing skill. There are basic books available.
I'll tell you the way I started and I encourage anyone interested in learning to jump right in. I purchased the book by Wayne Cattanach and read it cover to cover. If you like building things, this will be an easy read. It covers everything from picking the piece of bamboo to building all of the tools required to complete your first rod. After readnig the book, I started with the first step. Work through the book step by step and one day you will have a finished rod. No step is difficult. I'll repeat that, no step is difficult. It just takes a little time before you find your way of accomplishing that task. There are several ways to do each step but I would encourage you to try and do it by the book first. The internet is a wealth of information but it can be distracting at times because everyone has their own twist on how to accomplish the same task. When you get to a point where you need a new tool or device for the next step, the book will tell you in detail how to make it. That's about all I got for now but if you ever want to talk more in detail, feel free to email me at maker AT gmreeves DOT com. Bamboo rod building isn't hard and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It does take patience, some basic wood working skills, and maybe a half an arm or half a leg. My biggest advice to anyone interested is don't put off starting. You won't know if you can do it if you never try.
Thanks 501 and gm for your advise. I've always enjoyed working with my hands and actually built a fly rod from a Sage blank years back. Enjoyed the process and was pleased with the result. To get the ball rolling I'm going to pick up a copy of Wayne Cattanach's book. Read through it and take it from there. Thanks again.
Still like to know
I'd still like to know if anyone has the experience with the rod building classes/programs and what their thoughts were about 'em
I don't have any personal experience but know several people that have taken classes. I have heard nothing but good things from those that have done it and the rods they walk away with are wonderful 1st rods. If you have the money and think you are only going to make the one rod, I think the class would be the way to go. The great thing about classes is you get hands on instruction, top of the line equipment, and walk away at the end of the week with a rod ready to fish. The only bad part is if you want to make another rod, which most likely you will, you will need to purchase or build all of the tools needed. If you are interseted in building, chances are there is someone near you that has either made one, or someone that has made several. In Birmingham alone, I know of five people that have completed at least one rod and they were all very helpful getting me started. The bamboo rod building community is a very generous group of people and always willing to help someone learn the process.
Anytime. Hopefully someone who has actually gone through one of the classes will chime in also. If not and you want to talk about building, send me an email. I could probably find some willing people near you that could help you get started.
Best advice is to go for it if you are so inclined-don't wait! I'm not a bamboo craftsman but there is nothing quite as satisfying as fishing a rod that you constructed yourself. You will probably want to do another one and may never view a "rod off the rack" the same again. Possible helpful books might include "Constructing Cane Rods" by Ray Gould and John Gierach's "Fishing Bamboo" for history and industry perspective. I know nothing about bamboo classes but wish you best of luck!
I would suggest you take a class to see if you want to tackle it first. Then, count up what it would cost to get started. Quality hand planes can be very expensive. Go to http://www.rodbuildingforum.com and post your inquiry in the bamboo section. They can add their input and suggestions for classes, etc. There are some top crafters there. I have been to Oyster in Blue Ridge and he has some outstanding rods.

I don't understand why, but something in me is attracted to "That Fire". I first heard it when I started playing NHL 12, and the chorus just drew me in. Logically I know the song is typical -core-driven heavy metal that didn't take much effort to write and there really isn't anything special to be said about its structure...kinda reminds me of why I listen to Ace of Base, really.
Written by andreosokin on 28.10.2011 at 11:13fuckin' right!! I also discovered it in NHL 12 and you know what? It happened on the day you posted your message (I remember that cause my bro presented me that disc for bday)

Mecca beckons
For the girls team, which never made it out of the first round of state play during its three-year run from 1996-1999, a first-round bye propelled them to a quarterfinal clash with Section 11 Shelter Island at Farmingdale State University on March 10. The 13-5 Lady Wildcats downed Shelter Island 58-31 to advance to the state semifinals to take on Section 2 Argyle (21-3) on March 17 at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy at 10:45 a.m. Maggi Calo's four first-half three pointers provided the initial spark for Manor, along with Monay Allen's 12 steals in the game and Samantha Scott's 16 points. A Calo three tied the game at 10 at the end of the first quarter before the Lady Wildcats went on a 20-5 tear in the second stanza.
For Manor, which just last spring brought home state championships in softball and baseball, this basketball season has added enormous pride and joy to the little school on the banks of the Willowemoc. Stay tuned as the story continues.
National treasures
At the New Balance Indoor Track Nationals held at the Armory this past weekend, Eldred's Alex Campanella (4:21.26) was seventh in the mile in the emerging elite category. Teammate Hunter Proscia (9:46.50) finished 31st in the two mile, while Tri-Valley's Jimmy Bernstein (9:52.63) was 40th.. Sullivan West's Todd Roeder (49-0.75) was 21st in the weight throw, while Rachel Deppa (8:27.31) was 27th in the one-mile racewalk. Tri-Valley's Dominique Darby (47-3) was 16th in the weight throw. Former Tri-Valley grad Ryan Loughney, a senior at Ashland University, won his second consecutive Division II National title in the weight throw with a mighty heave of 72-10 on his last attempt. Loughney moves on to compete in the hammer, with an eye on the Olympic trials this June.

SBA launches renewed, simplified loan products
- published_in
- Guest Column
In particular, we exchange ideas with banks, credit unions, certified development companies, chambers and various lender associations, resulting in products that simplify and speed up loan processing by reducing paperwork and other redundancies.
Starting in June, SBA revised portions of the Small Loan Advantage, or SLA, program simplifying the application process, speeding up approvals, expanding the number of qualified lenders and increasing the loan cap. The SLA program is structured to encourage lenders to make small-dollar loans of $350,000 or less, which often benefit small businesses in underserved markets. The SLA program simplifies and streamlines paperwork making it more cost-effective for lenders. We expect the demand for this new product in Colorado to increase as we begin to market it to our lending partners throughout the state
One of our most popular lending programs in Colorado is SBAExpress. Providing a 50 percent guarantee, it gives small-business borrowers an accelerated turnaround time for SBA's review. Businesses receive a response to their applications within 36 hours. In addition, lower interest rates are often available. In Colorado for this fiscal year, as of June 15, SBA has guaranteed 323 Express Loans for $22.8 million.
It can be tough for small businesses to manage their cash flow. They've got payrolls to meet, inventory to buy and customers to please. A revolving line of credit could help small businesses manage their cash cycle. This is why SBA also re-engineered the Capital Lines, or CAPLines, program.
Today, small businesses often compete for contracts to help them scale up and create jobs. One of the biggest "growing pains" associated with winning a new contract is that the business often does not have the necessary cash on hand to hire workers and buy materials to help fulfill the order. CAPLines provides a path for these small businesses to finance contracts while avoiding high interest rates through an SBA revolving line of credit.
CAPLines allows banks to use more of their own streamlined processes, and we are seeing volumes that are up 220 percent.
In addition, small businesses that use the CAPLines program will benefit from the new increased SBA 7(a) loan limit of $5 million, which went into effect with the Small Business Jobs Act. These larger loan sizes will help small businesses that are poised to win bigger contracts, creating jobs as a result and an economy that's built to last. In Colorado, as of June 15, SBA has guaranteed $8.8 million in CAPLines, and we expect an increase going into the fall quarter.
Everyone knows how important small businesses are to the economy. Over the last 15 years, small businesses created two out of every three net new private-sector jobs. Half of all American workers own or work for a small business. And we're counting on small businesses to drive our economy to a full recovery.
SBA is here to help, and we are constantly looking for ways to provide access and opportunity to the American small business owner. SBA loans are grounded by a smart public-private partnership and that's a powerful bang for the taxpayer buck.
Dan Hannaher is the Small Business Administration's Region VIII administrator.

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said he's fine and leaving the hospital with plans to return to work on Wednesday. The combative conservative said tests show nothing wrong after he was hospitalized with chest pains.
He remained at a hospital in Hawaii Thursday night, a day after being admitted for chest pains.
According to his radio program, Limbaugh underwent a complete examination on Thursday that gave doctors more information about his condition.
Walter E. Williams, who filled in for Limbaugh on his radio show, offered a brief update on the host's condition.
"Rush continues to rest very comfortably in the hospital in Honolulu this afternoon," Williams said.
Limbaugh was in Hawaii for a Christmas vacation. He was spotted golfing earlier in the week at the Waialae Country Club.
On Wednesday, he was taken from the Kahala Hotel and Resort to Queens Medical Center after complaining of chest pains.
"Those pains were the kind of pains that makes one feel like he has a heart attack coming on, but it's not been confirmed that it was a heart attack," Williams said. "Rush is in good and stable condition. (He's) comfortable, as comfortable as one can be in a hospital while on vacation and he's in good hands."
On Friday, Limbaugh held a conference to brief reporters at the Cardiac Comprehensive Care Unit of the hospital.
"I experienced pain in my upper left chest like I had never felt before," Limbaugh said. ()
He said the pain was real but he still doesn't know what caused it.
Limbaugh said an angiogram found nothing wrong and that he's never had heart problems.
"Best guess," Limbaugh said, "it might have been a spasm in an artery."
"The treatment I received here was first rate," he said, thanking the doctors, nurses and nurses aides at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu.
Limbaugh checked out of the hospital after his news conference. He said he would return to work on Wednesday, a two-day delay because of his hospitalization.
He told reporters he's taking the drug prednisone for back pain.
Typical Treatment For Chest Pains
Citing privacy issues, doctors at Queens Medical Center wouldn't specifically about Limbaugh's conditions.
Some doctors did say that someone who is admitted to a hospital with chest pains will usually be tested for heart problems.
"If you're held overnight, then there is concern at least you're on a monitor or you're being observed," said internal medicine specialist Dr. Ira Zunin. "Let's say maybe there's concern over maybe a severe arrhythmia, bad rhythm of the heart that drops your blood pressure. At least you're going to be observed."
Those tests can include an EKG to test the heart's electrical rhythm, a blood test for enzymes that may indicate damage to heart tissue, and a chest X-ray.
Patients could be given a stress test to see how the heart functions under pressure.
Doctors could also order an angiogram, in which dye is injected to examine the coronary arteries.
"Sometimes there may be one that's blocked and one or two, it's amenable to a stent. Put a stent in there to allow the blocked area to open up," Zunin said.
Treatment could involve a stent or angioplasty to open a clogged artery. The patient might have open heart surgery with a multiple bypass.
People with an angioplasty usually stay in a hospital for a day or two and are then asked to avoid strenuous activity for two weeks. Bypass surgery usually means several days in a hospital and a six to 12-week recovery.
Observers said Limbaugh reportedly lost and gained a lot of weight recently, something that Zunin said isn't good for the heart.
"Weight gain and weight loss is a tremendous stress on the entire system and the cardiovascular system," he said. "As you're losing weight, you're breaking down muscle and fat and all kinds of toxins and by-products of what we call metabolism are running through the system and it's a tremendous strain on the heart."
Media Impact
News of Limbaugh's medical concerns meant that news crews covering President Barack Obama's vacation had to scramble to cover the story.
Many network correspondents did live reports from outside Queens Medical Center and technicians, producers and camera crews set up on the lawn of the state's Liluokalani Building.
"It keeps us busy," said satellite coordinator Dave Goebert. "They all want the live shot at the same time, as well."
He said that it was already going to be a busy week for him with Obama in the area.
"It's one of those feast or famines," he said. "Hawaii's a quiet news state most of the time."
Some people wondered if the media hubbub was the result of a last-minute settlement in the school furlough budget problem, only to be told the news crews were there to cover Limbaugh.
Sylvia Ching was taking a walk by the hospital and said she didn't know about its famous patient.
"He gets so excited on the radio," Ching said. "Maybe he should calm down a little."
Patient Mark Marlowe said the hospital was abuzz with talk about Limbaugh.
"He's got his own opinion and he does have a great following, so I can respect that," he said.

This Week In Quotes: Aug 17 – Aug 23
It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. — Todd Akin
We're gonna welcome here in this country–first come, first served–families, if they're willing to come here under the following terms: We're going to assign you a city–let's say Detroit–you got to agree to not be arrested and not take any federal, state or city money, and you've got to live there for seven years, and if you survive seven years, we'll make you and your family full citizens. — Michael Bloomberg
Toure, I've seen hate up close. I know what it looks like. I've felt it's hands on my skin, seen the look in its eyes, felt the burn of its words. It is deliberate and it is real. Racism is not disliing our black President because of his socialist leanings. Racism is the scar I carried near my lip for decades after one particularly harsh punch in the mouth from a kid screaming "NIGGER!" at me while swinging away. Racism is that guy in the diner, the hoses and dogs turned on folks from my grandparent's generation just looking to drink at a decent water fountain. When you accuse a person of racism, THAT is the legacy of hate you are laying at their feet. It's every bit as heinous as accusing someone of being a child molester arbitrarily. When you accuse Mitt Romney and other conservatives like me of being racist based on no other proof besides the fact that we vehemently disagree with this President and his policies, you dilute the history and experiences of people like me. You cheapen that word — nigger. You rob it of it's true horror — a horror we should never forget or take for granted.Not only that, Toure; but you cheapen yourself. You make it clear to blacks like me that you, indeed have no clue in hell what real racism is or where it can be found. — Kira Davis
It's very rare that I come to an event where I'm like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person. — Barack Obama
It would not be long before I would learn firsthand that in the vast majority of states — 31 — men who father through rape are able to assert the same custody and visitation rights to their children that other fathers enjoy. When no law prohibits a rapist from exercising these rights, a woman may feel forced to bargain away her legal rights to a criminal trial in exchange for the rapist dropping the bid to have access to her child. — Shauna Prewitt
In poor societies, people have children to improve their economic well-being by increasing the number of family workers and providing support for parents in their old age. In wealthy societies, the logic often reverses. Government now supports the elderly, diminishing the need for children. By some studies, the safety nets for retirees have reduced fertility rates by 0.5 children in the United States and almost 1.0 in Western Europe, reports economist Robert Stein in the journal National Affairs. — Robert J. Samuelson
I'm not blaming Floyd Corkins's actions on the bullying twerps at the Southern Poverty Law Center or those thug Democrat mayors who tried to run Chick-fil-A out of Boston and Chicago. But I do think he's the apotheosis of narcissistic leftist myopia. He symbolizes that exhaustion of the other possibilities – the dwindling down of latter-day liberalism to ever more self-indulgent distractions from the hard truths of a broke and ruined landscape. — Mark Steyn
Regrettably I jumped into the water without a swimsuit. — Kevin Yoder

Americans use botanicals in much the same way they use prescription pharmaceuticals recommended by their physician, or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines available at the local pharmacy-to treat symptoms, prevent disease, and maintain health and wellness.
Although botanical medicines are classified as dietary supplements, not drugs, it is common knowledge that botanical medicines are medicines. As such, Americans use them much like conventional medicines to treat diseases and disease symptoms. For example, women use black cohosh and phytoestrogenic herbs, such as red clover, to treat symptoms of menopause.
There is a considerable amount of scientific and clinical evidence for the use of botanicals. See Is There Good Scientific Evidence? [7] However, manufacturers of dietary supplements cannot, by law, claim that they treat or prevent disease and so cannot provide detailed information on how to use their supplements.
As a result, consumers who wish to use these products in an informed manner must look for outside sources of information, such as the internet. It is important to assess the credibility and accuracy of these sources before making treatment decisions. Who is providing the information? What evidence do they cite? Who is paying for the site? When was the content last updated? These are just a few questions to ask to determine if the site is reliable. For more details see How Do I Get the E-Facts? [8]
Botanicals are also commonly used to maintain health and prevent disease. There is good research to support these uses:

The workshop session will begin at noon at the Community Center, 111 E. Corpus Christi St.
According to the agenda for the meeting, those present will "review and discuss the hotel occupancy tax, allowable costs and reporting requirements."
In an invitation sent out over the Internet to interested groups and individuals, Main Street manager Michelle Wright called the presentation "What's Hot $ (and) What's Not, Hotel occupancy tax usage and requirements."
The presentation will feature Russell Gallahan, a representative of the Texas Comptroller's Office, who is considered an expert on the use of those tax funds.
"Feel free to invite a guest and bring a sack lunch," Wright said in the invitation sent out to interested parties
Wright said there will be a question and answer session after Gallahan's presentation.
The majority of the city's hotel and motel occupancy tax receipts (HOT funds) now goes to the Bee County Chamber of Commerce.
But other organizations have been applying for that money, mostly to advertise various special events like Bee County Western Week, Diez y Seis de Septiembre, Cinco de Mayo, the Texas Mile and others.
City Attorney Frank Warner usually reviews applications for funding, and he strikes out most of the requests that are not related to "putting heads in beds."
Warner keeps reminding applicants that means the money should be spent on efforts directly related to filling hotel and motel rooms.
The workshop is considered a special City Council meeting and Mayor Santiago "Jimbo" Martinez Jr. will preside.
Wright recommended holding the presentation here after she attended a similar session offered by the Texas Historical Commission.
Anyone who has questions is urged to contact City Manager Deborah Ballí at 358-4641.
Gary Kent is a reporter at the Bee-Picayune and can be reached at 358-2550, ext. 120, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Abstract
- The sugar-base correlation of cytosine (base) and deoxyribose (sugar) moieties of cytidine is investigated based on their inner-shell electronic structural information. A recently developed density functional theory (DFT) model, CVB3LYP, with a Gaussian-type basis set of 6-311G**, and the DFT-LB94 model with a Slater-type basis set of TZ2P are employed to calculate inner shell ionization energies. The results reveal that the corresponding geometry of cytidine is not significantly different from its fragments, i.e., cytosine and deoxyribose. Changes ill charge distribution of cytidine with respect to cytosine and deoxyribose concentrate on the local C sites in the base pyrimidine ring and sugar ring, as indicated by the atomic Hirshfeld charges. The O-K, N-K, and C-K spectra of cytidine inherit the aromatic signature in cytosine, suggesting that the role of the aromatic ring is a buffer to diffuse the changes brought in by the addition of the deoxyribose moiety. Formation of cytidine, however, substantially changes the C-K spectra of the deoxyribose moiety. In general, the correlated O-K, N-K, and C-K sites of cytidine exhibit small red shifts with respect to the cytosine base, whereas the O-K and C-K sites of cytidine show blue shifts in comparison with those of deoxyribose.

The goal of the Multimedia Room Project is to create a modern technology classroom that will be used by over 300 students and teachers at a rural school in Bulgaria. This will be achieved by permanently installing technology that is already in the school's possession (a laptop and multimedia projector) and by training the staff and students in its use.
This project is a priority for both the teachers and the students at school and works towards the school's long-term goals of modernization and quality education improvement. The multimedia room will serve many important functions. First, it will be used as a technology classroom that will be available for use by all the teachers and their classes. One of the most important components of the project will be training both the teaching staff and the students in the use of the multimedia equipment. Teachers will learn new ideas for incorporating technology into the classroom and students will receive training in the equipment and will practice presentation skills that will better prepare them both for further study at university and the workforce. The room will also serve an important function in the school as a 'free period room' for students when classes are cancelled. And finally, the multimedia room will be used as a theater by an after school, student-organized film club.
The school will provide the computer and multimedia projector as well as the space for the room. Members of the school staff will also provide the labor both for remodeling the room and training the school community. Money from the Peace Corps Partnership Program will be used to remodel a currently un-used space in the school and to purchase educational videos for the school's library.
