Volunteers of the Month Hoover Elementary Parent Club
Hoover Elementary staff have nominated the Hoover Parent Club as our Volunteers of the Month for March. The parent club leadership are Maira Hernandez, Dolores Sanchez, Cristina Tinoco and Sara Santana.
The Hoover Parent Club has really intensified their efforts to provide for the whole Hoover community. The list is extensive but here are some highlights:
- On Fridays, parent club volunteers can be found working on class projects for the teachers.
- Staff and parents worked together to provide a volunteer bucket for all classrooms so parents have supplies such as flash cards, books, and other educational materials they can use to volunteer in the classroom.
- Recognizing that reading is so important to student achievement in school, club members created a reading incentive celebration for students completing a reading log.
- The Parent Club hosts many events throughout the year. Knowing that family participation and involvement is important to student success, the Parent Club facilitated movies night for their families.
- They've also implemented clothing and book exchanges.
- Have provided meals to staff during parent-teacher conferences, Staff Appreciation Day and at a Welcome Back staff meeting in August.
The Hoover staff are so appreciative of their Parent Club for being so engaged and demonstrating a real commitment to the students and staff, and to bringing the Hoover community together!

La Margarita is Business Partner of the Month
La Margarita is our selected March Business Partner of the Month. They were nominated by Hoover Elementary School staff.
Owners, Javier and Xochitl Muñoz, have partnered with Hoover for the past four years to help their families in need.
Just before Winter Break, Javier and Xochitl along with the La Margarita staff, provided a holiday luncheon and gifts to one hundred selected needy Hoover students and their families.
On the chosen Saturday in December, the La Margarita staff took over Hoover's cafeteria for the day. They decorated and provided a festive holiday atmosphere for the students and their families. All of the La Margarita staff pitched in and served the invited families a delicious meal and experience. Santa also stopped by for a visit and handed out candy canes.
At the end of the event, each of the invited Hoover families received a food box and a warm blanket to take them.
Javier and Xochitl give so willingly and do not ask for anything in return. Hoover staff say that with limited community resources available, La Margarita has filled a much needed resource to those most in need at Hoover Elementary.
Hoover Elementary staff wish to let Javier and Xochitl, and the La Margarita staff, know how very much they are appreciated and thank them for their continued support.

Don Berger Named 2016 National Coach of the Year
It is with great pleasure that we recognize North Salem High School teacher and coach, Don Berger, as the National Federation of State High School Associations Coaches Association 2016 National Coach of the Year for Girls Track and Field. The announcement was made by the association on January 13th.
Don's passion for the sport has lead him to 39 years as a head cross country and track & field coach. He has had 59 individuals or relays teams win state championships. At one point, his girls track and field teams didn't lose a dual meet in a nine-year span.
Don coached at Salem Academy for 22 years before coming to Salem-Keizer. Lynn Freshour, the North Salem High School Athletic Director at the time, lived on the same block as Don and would bring North's athletes to him for a bit of coaching which resulted in much success. In 2000, Don was hired at North Salem High School as a teacher and head coach.
Don has said that he was certainly surprised to be named Coach of the Year and considers it a team honor. He credits the great kids, the support of his staff and administration, and without a doubt, the support of his wife.
We congratulate Don on this success and for his continued support of the students at North Salem High School!

Getting Started: The examination room should be quiet, warm and well lit. After you have finished interviewing the patient, provide them with a gown (a.k.a. "Johnny") and leave the room (or draw a separating curtain) while they change. Instruct them to remove all of their clothing (except for briefs) and put on the gown so that the opening is in the rear. Occasionally, patient's will end up using them as ponchos, capes or in other creative ways. While this may make for a more attractive ensemble it will also, unfortunately, interfere with your ability to perform an examination! Prior to measuring vital signs, the patient should have had the opportunity to sit for approximately five minutes so that the values are not affected by the exertion required to walk to the exam room. All measurements are made while the patient is seated.
Observation: Before diving in, take a minute or so to look at the patient in their entirety, making your observations, if possible, from an out-of-the way perch. Does the patient seem anxious, in pain, upset? What about their dress and hygiene? Remember, the exam begins as soon as you lay eyes on the patient.
Temperature: This is generally obtained using an oral thermometer that provides a digital reading when the sensor is placed under the patient's tongue. As most exam rooms do not have thermometers, it is not necessary to repeat this measurement unless, of course, the recorded value seems discordant with the patient's clinical condition (e.g. they feel hot but reportedly have no fever or vice versa). Depending on the bias of a particular institution, temperature is measured in either Celcius or Farenheit, with a fever defined as greater than 38-38.5 C or 101-101.5 F. Rectal temperatures, which most closely reflect internal or core values, are approximately 1 degree F higher than those obtained orally.
Respiratory Rate: Respirations are recorded as breaths per minute. They should be counted for at least 30 seconds as the total number of breaths in a 15 second period is rather small and any miscounting can result in rather large errors when multiplied by 4. Try to do this as surreptitiously as possible so that the patient does not consciously alter their rate of breathing. This can be done by observing the rise and fall of the patient's hospital gown while you appear to be taking their pulse. Normal is between 12 and 20. In general, this measurement offers no relevant information for the routine examination. However, particularly in the setting of cardio-pulmonary illness, it can be a very reliable marker of disease activity.
Pulse: This can be measured at any place where there is a large artery (e.g. carotid, femoral, or simply by listening over the heart), though for the sake of convenience it is generally done by palpating the radial impulse. You may find it helpful to feel both radial arteries simultaneously, doubling the sensory input and helping to insure the accuracy of your measurements. Place the tips of your index and middle fingers just proximal to the patients wrist on the thumb side, orienting them so that they are both over the length of the vessel.
The pictures below demonstrate the location of the radial artery (surface anatomy on the left, gross anatomy on the right).
Frequently, you can see transmitted pulsations on careful visual inspection of this region, which may help in locating this artery. Upper extremity peripheral vascular disease is relatively uncommon, so the radial artery should be readily palpable in most patients. Push lightly at first, adding pressure if there is a lot of subcutaneous fat or you are unable to detect a pulse. If you push too hard, you might occlude the vessel and mistake your own pulse for that of the patient. During palpation, note the following:
Rhythm SimulatorBlood Pressure: Blood pressure (BP) is measured using mercury based manometers, with readings reported in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). The size of the BP cuff will affect the accuracy of these readings. The inflatable bladder, which can be felt through the vinyl covering of the cuff, should reach roughly 80% around the circumference of the arm while its width should cover roughly 40%. If it is too small, the readings will be artificially elevated. The opposite occurs if the cuff is too large. Clinics should have at least 2 cuff sizes available, normal and large. Try to use the one that is most appropriate, recognizing that there will rarely be a perfect fit.
Antecubital Fossa
The pictures below demonstrate the antecubital fossa anatomy (surface anatomy on the left, gross anatomy on the right).
Ohio State University, Blood Pressure SimulatorNormal is between 100/60 and 140/90. Hypertension is thus defined as either SBP greater then 140 or DBP greater than 90. It is important to recognize that blood pressure is rarely elevated to a level that causes acute symptoms. That is, while hypertension in general is common, emergencies resulting from extremely high values and subsequent acute end organ dysfunction are quite rare. Rather, it is the chronically elevated values which lead to target organ damage, though in a slow and relatively silent fashion. At the other end of the spectrum, the minimal SBP required to maintain perfusion varies with the individual. Therefore, interpretation of low values must take into account the clinical situation. Those with poorly functioning hearts, for example, can adjust to a chronically low SBP (e.g. 80-90) and live without symptoms of hypoperfusion. However others, used to higher baseline values, might become quite ill if their SBPs were suddenly decreased to these same levels.
Many things can alter the accuracy of your readings. In order to limit their impact, remember the following:
A few clinically relevant thoughts about high blood pressure:
Hypertension is very common disease (> 25% in US affected) & defined on basis of severity:
Ideally, several measures on different occasions should verify the finding. One time measures > 160/100 also confirms the diagnosis. It's worth mentioning that normal is 110s/70s, and cardiovascular risk rises w/any values above these points.
Hypertension (HTN) causes & accelerates the progression of: Renal dysfunction, coronary artery disease, systolic & diastolic heart, left ventricular hypertrophy, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and retinopathy. The risk of HTN induced damage correlates both w/height of BP and chronicity of elevation (ie longer and higher =s worse). The treatment of HTN prior to the development of Target Organ Damage (aka TOD) is referred to as "primary prevention;" while treatment to prevent &/or slow progression once disease has already been established is called "secondary prevention." Evaluation of patients w/HTN requires careful history, exam, labs, & other studies to search for co-morbid problems (diabetes, sleep apnea, etc) &/or occult TOD. Most patients w/HTN are asymptomatic, at least until they develop target organ damage, which can take years to occur.The majority of patients w/HTN (> 60%) will require at least 2 meds for treatment. For a BP between 140-160/80-100, best initial drug treatment is typically with hydrochlorthiazide, a very mild diuretic w/potent anti-hypertensive properties. For those w/starting values > 160/100, it's best to start w/2 meds simultaneously. A few more thoughts:

Infant/Toddler (0-3 Years)
Research has shown how critical the first years of life are to future learning. From infancy to age three, parents, providers and educators are key to providing quality early experiences for our youngest learners.
As parents and child care providers observe a child learn to walk, talk and explore the world, it is important that they observe whether the child is meeting normal developmental benchmarks. When worried about a child's growth and development it is important to find services to support the child's early learning.

Washington state supports assessment and intervention services to young children through the public schools. Infants and toddlers who are not meeting normal milestones/benchmarks for physical, social, emotional, communication (speech & language), or cognitive (thinking and learning) development may be eligible to receive early intervention services.
Parents and providers who are worried about a child's development should talk with the local school district about screening, assessment and special services.

Interleukin-1 family member 6 (IL-1F6), also known as interleukin 36, alpha (IL36A), is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which plays an important role in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-1F6 activates MAPK and NF-kB pathways and is produced by many different cells. This cytokine is a family member of interleukin-1 (IL-1) and plays an important role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. It has been reported that IL-1F6 and IL-1F8, in addition to IL-1F9, activate the pathway leading to NF-kappaB in an IL-1Rrp2-dependent manner in Jurkat cells as well as in multiple other human and mouse cell lines. Activation of the pathway leading to NF-kappaB by IL-1F6 and IL-1F8 follows a similar time course to activation by IL-1beta, suggesting that signaling by the novel family members occurs through a direct mechanism. In a mammary epithelial cell line, NCI/ADR-RES, which naturally expresses IL-1Rrp2, all three cytokines signal without further receptor transfection. IL-1Rrp2 antibodies block activation of the pathway leading to NF-kappaB by IL-1F6, IL-1F8, and IL-1F9 in both Jurkat and NCI/ADR-RES cells. Thus IL-1F6, IL-1F8, and IL-1F9 signal through IL-1Rrp2 and IL-1RAcP.

Lucy Switchgear continues Middle East expansion with new Abu Dhabi office
UK-based manufacturer Lucy Switchgear will open an Abu Dhabi office to support the Emirate's power sector. The company already has offices and manufacturing facilities in Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
Lucy Switchgear is participating in this week's Power-Gen Middle East exhibition, which takes place from October 13-15, 2003 at the Abu Dhabi International Exhibitions Centre.
Economic development, increasing industrial capacity and fast population growth is driving demand for electricity in the Arabian Gulf states. These countries are expected to require an additional 100 gigawatts of power generation capacity before the year 2020 at a cost of $150 billion, according to the World Energy Council. Power requirements for the city of Abu Dhabi alone are expected to reach 4,500 MW by the year 2010, according to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Electricity and Water.
Abu Dhabi's ambitious privatization plan for the power sector was kicked off in 1998 with the establishment of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA). Some 11 companies were then formed under ADWEA to operate on a commercial basis and to encourage private sector investment. — (menareport.com)

How many top IT positions do you plan to fill this week? (And, no, that is not a set-up for a joke.) Listen to Jeanne Beliveau-Dunn, general manager at Learning@Cisco, the group responsible for professional development and certification: We intend to be aggressive about hiring. If anything we will be increasing our hiring. We believe this climate is very good for hiring top people.
Let that sink in and, while youre at it, know that Cisco is not alone in believing that the current marketplace is ideal for cherry-picking talent. Lali Dhingre, president of NIIT Technologies, an outsourcer with some 10,000 employees in 44 countries, said now is the right time to be hiring the right IT staff.
There are three big reasons for this contrarian point of view and only the first has to do with finding gems among IT workers who have been laid off in the downturn. But lets start there anyway:
Good people are getting laid off and if you have openings, you will see many applicants, said Donna James, SVP of Accent Global System Architects, which lately has been hiring IT staff because the company won a sizable federal government contract. James added that it is easy to be picky now. We are interviewing 10 to 15 people for every position. She also adds a caveat: desperate candidates are stretching their resumes; perhaps claiming credentials they dont truly possess or wildly exaggerating job responsibilities. So thorough vetting is more necessary than ever. Do that, however, and James insists there are a lot of very talented people looking for work.
Sure, there is skepticism that quality performers can be found among ITs fired and, in that regard, it is true that we have not seen significant staff cuts in larger companies, said Michael Winwood, president of Technisource, an IT recruiting firm. But smaller companies have been making deeper, broader and more indiscriminate cuts and, for diligent hunters, there are indeed good hires to be had.
Bargain Hunting Prevails
Some candidates will even take a pay cut today, said
Top talent may particularly be restless. Take advantage of IT delays at other companies and know that every stalled project at other organizations gives you the chance to snag top talent, said Barbato. Picture an IT hotshot who is brought in to oversee a companys cloud computing initiative, which gets put on hold, and hes told he has been moved over to working on IT infrastructure. His first and immediate thought: how do I get out of here! They want to be involved in exciting IT projects and even people who arent job-hoppers now will think about moving for an exciting opportunity, said Barbato.
The bottom line is this is an ideal time to strengthen your staff. If you want to gain a competitive advantage, do the opposite of what everybody else is doing, said Ciscos Beliveau-Dunn. To us, a time like this is an ideal time to invest in people who are not ordinarily available.
Do that and what happens is this: viral marketing will kick in, youll get a reputation as the place to want to work, said Barbato. IT is a team activity and the best IT people want to surround themselves with other top performers. The more you do the right things, the more viral hiring becomes for you, the easier it gets to attract top candidates. Its really that simple.

Bike Week is here!
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 11:00pm 18 June 2007
- Posted in: News and blogs
- Tagged with:
Thousands of people are flocking to Bike Week events across the capital to celebrate cycling and to encourage more people to get on their bikes.
Bike Week is the UK's annual celebration of cycling with 1,500 events expected to attract more than 250,000 cyclists. In London, events range from a photographic exhibition on cycling in Flanders to bike breakfasts to cycle rides.
The events for the week – from Saturday June 16 to Sunday June 24 – are designed to suit riders of all ability and ages. Most of the events are free to participate in – all you need is a bike.
In London, there are more than 250 events. At the Host Gallery in Honduras Street, near the Barbican, a new photography exhibition pays tribute to the Flandrien, the tough Flemish cyclists who relish racing on some of the worst roads and most hostile weather conditions in bicycle racing. The exhibition opens on Wednesday June 20.
The best start to the day during Bike Week is to attend one of the bike breakfasts organised across the capital. These include a breakfast organised by Camden Cycling Campaign at the British Library on Wednesday June 20 and free pastries and coffee at a breakfast in Brixton on Thursday June 21 organised by Lambeth Cyclists.
The organised rides range from leisurely to the challenging. An annual favourite is the "Midsummer Madness Ride", in which cyclists meet at 2am in Brick Lane and ride to Primrose Hill to watch the sun rise on the longest day of the year.
Local rides can be an excellent opportunity to get to know your area better. The Camden local group of LCC is organising a ride on Sunday June 24 which will go through all the borough's wards. Hackney is organising two rides on the same day – a tour of Hackney's fine trees and a day's ride to Epping Forest.
Bike Week also gives cyclists the chance to relax and socialise. Hammersmith and Fulham's LCC is organising a ride from Furnival Gardens, next to Hammersmith Pier, to the Roebuck pub on Richmond Hill. You can also join the "Commuter Cooldown" with Hackney Cyclists on Friday June 22 with "music, cocktails and pleasant company".

there's something about even's little nod in this scene
because even knows. he's not oblivious, he notices the way isak reacts to his presence, to him. he's been noticing him for weeks, weeks before they first met. he saw the way isak was when he came over to his place the previous week, he saw the look in his eyes, the light in his eyes, he saw the way he smiled and laughed, he noticed the changes in his voice. he probably memorized his facial expressions and the things he said last friday. kept replaying them in his mind every single day, in class, before going to bed, when he was with other people
earlier in that episode, when he came to give isak his snapback, in a matter of seconds, he understood that isak hadn't told his friends he had gone to his place, he understood that he didn't want them to know. because he sees and understands. he remembered the cardamom on the cheese toasties five weeks later, how they were sitting on the floor of his room as they ate them, he remembered isak saying he had a drop of water in his throat, he remembered isak talking about parallel universes. because he pays such close attention to isak and the way he looks and moves and speaks and all the things he says
do you think that even, who saw this boy on the first day of school, who was probably looking forward to seeing him even when it was just at school, in public, in rooms and hallways with other students, would not notice how isak was acting? notice the way he's been looking at him the moment he showed up at his place for the pregame? the way he starred at him when he kissed sonja and looked at him straight in the eyes? how tensed he was as he told him about sonja and how they'd been together for years? the intonation of his voice as he said his okay's (been together since we were 15. okay. can't dump her. okay). do you think that even who's been desperately trying to spend time alone with this boy he was falling for would not notice the smile that spread all over isak's face when he realized that even was messing with him, the smile he was trying to stop it, in vain? do you think he would not sense his attraction to him? the vulnerability?
of course even notices. and since he came to see isak in his kitchen, he's only been kidding, pretending not to be serious. but with that little nod, he grows more serious. with that little nod, it's like he's saying i see you, i see it, i've seen you for a while. it's reassuring. it's okay. it's understanding. i know, isak. i know. me too

Grapes May Fight High Blood Pressure
Study Shows Antioxidants in Grapes May Be a Weapon in Blood Pressure Battle
A hardy helping of grapes may fight high blood pressure and heart disease if you eat a salty diet, a new University of Michigan study shows. Because black, green, and red grapes contain high levels of naturally occurring antioxidants, the fruits may reduce hypertension that can lead to heart failure, shows the study, published in the Journal of Gerontology: Biological Sciences.
Scientists including Mitchell Seymour, MS, report that flavonoids -- found in abundance in the skin, flesh, and seeds of grapes -- may be the substances that provide the beneficial effects they found in their study of laboratory rats.
Grapes and High Blood Pressure
The researchers studied the effects of regular table grapes -- a blend of green, red, and black fruits -- that were fed to rats in powdered form. After 18 weeks, rats that ate the grape-enriched powder had lower blood pressure, better heart function, and reduced inflammation throughout their bodies than comparable rodents that didn't receive the mixture. Rats on salty diets plus hydralazine, a blood pressure medicine, had lower blood pressure, but their hearts weren't as protected from damage as the animals fed grapes.
"These findings support our theory that something within the grapes themselves has a direct impact on cardiovascular risk, beyond the simple blood-pressure-lowering impact that we already know can come from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables," says Seymour, who manages the University of Michigan Cardioprotection Research Laboratory.
Steven Bolling, MD, who heads the program, says the rats in the study were in a similar situation as millions of Americans who have high blood pressure related to their diets and who develop heart failure because of prolonged hypertension. "The inevitable downhill sequence to hypertension and heart failure was changed by the addition of grape powder to a high-salt diet," Bolling says. "Although there are many natural compounds in the grape powder itself that may have an effect, the things that we think are having an effect against the hypertension may be the flavonoids, either by direct antioxidant effects, by indirect effects on cell function, or both."
Such naturally occurring substances already have been shown to reduce other potentially harmful molecular and cellular activity, the researchers say in a news release. The study notes that grapes and other fruits high in antioxidant phytochemials show promise, as does research on the impact of red wine on heart health.
Still, the best advice for people with blood pressure problems is to cut down on the amount of salt they get, Bolling says.
"There is, as we know, a great variability, perhaps genetic even, in sensitivity to salt causing hypertension," he says. "Some people are very sensitive to salt intake, some are only moderately so, and there are perhaps some people who are salt resistant. But in general we say, 'Stay away from excess salt.'"

Chairman of Northern Rock quits
Northern Rock's chairman has quit.
The beleaguered mortgage bank has announced it has accepted Matt Ridley's resignation.
On Tuesday board members appeared before Britain's Treasury Select Committee.
They were asked to explain how they allowed the first run on a bank in more than a-hundred years.
Dr Ridley said then that he'd be prepared to leave if asked.
"He and the board now believe that in the interests of all stakeholders in the company, the time is right to accept his resignation as a director and chairman of the company," the company said.

Kilkenny hurler told in terrifying Tiger raid: 'We're taking your wife and you're going to get us €3 million'
Masked men locked three young children in bathroom and drove Adrian Ronan's wife to a disused weather station
A man who was involved in the tiger kidnapping of Kilkenny All Ireland hurling star Adrian Ronan wept openly in court as he listened to evidence against him and heard the hostage situation described as "hell on earth"
The court heard that Stephen Freeman's role was to pick up and transport the money after the raid. However he couldn't drive so a gambling associate taxi-driver was hired. The case against Freeman was largely based on him admitting his role to this taxi-driver.
Freeman (27) of Ballcurris gardens, Ballymun, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on a trial date to attempting to steal cash with others from Bank of Ireland, Parliament Street, Kilkenny on Tuesday November 3, 2009.
He also admitted using force on Adrian and Mary Ronan and their three children to frighten them. He has seven previous convictions at district court level.
Detective Inspector Michael Hennebry told Judge Desmond Hogan that many people were arrested for the raid but Freeman is the only one who has been prosecuted.
Judge Hogan said he would have to consider the evidence and documents handed in to court on Freeman's behalf.
Patrick Treacy SC, prosecuting, told the court that the raiders knew there would be a "sizable" amount of cash in the bank after the Hallowe'en bank holiday weekend.
He added that they chose to attack on a Tuesday as they knew Securicor vans would be collecting the money that day.
Det Insp Hennebry revealed that the Ronans woke at 5am to find three masked and armed men in their bedroom.
One of the raiders brought the children downstairs and locked them in a bathroom with their mother.
They bound Mr Ronan's hands with cable ties and told him: "You're going to do a job for us. We're taking your wife and you're going to get us €3 million."
They showed Mr Ronan, who worked in the finance and leasing sector of Bank of Ireland, photo print outs of houses of two bank colleagues. One of the men informed Mr Ronan that they targeted him because he didn't have a house alarm.
The raiders continued to threaten Mr Ronan and his wife, saying: "You do what we tell you and no harm will happen to you. You f*** up and she's dead."
They asked him: "Do you want your kids to be without a mother for Christmas?"
The men took Mrs Ronan to say goodbye to her husband and drove her to a disused weather station outside Kilkenny, where she was tied to a swivel chair and iron pillar. A raider kept her captive like this for eight hours and fired a bullet from his gun into the ceiling.
The garda said the armed raiders gave Mr Ronan a mobile phone and showed him a phone scanner to warn him off contacting gardai.
Mr Ronan drove to work with his three children in the car. He put them in a separate room in the bank and was in tears when he told the manager about the raiders' demands.
He received a number of phone calls over the morning about getting money. One was from a gunman he recognised from the house and another from an unidentified male who sounded "cool and mature".
He expected a final call but it never came and a short time later gardai rang him to say his wife had been located unharmed. She had managed to free herself and run out onto the road after her captor had left.
Freeman admitted his role to the taxi driver when he was dropped back to Dublin after the raid.
Gardai arrested and interviewed him 29 times over a week before and he finally made admissions about being asked to do a job for criminals. He said he was informed he would be dropping something from one place to another.
Feargal Kavanagh SC, defending, said Freeman had run up large gambling debts and the raiders had exploited this and promised to have them written off if he helped them.
"He regrets not having the moral courage to walk out the door and risk being shot himself," his barrister said.
Counsel asked the judge to remember that there is no evidence his client was ever in the Ronan's house or in the weather station. He described Freeman as a cog in the wheel and said that he is "hugely remorseful" and "hugely regretful."
Mr Kavanagh submitted that Freeman has "turned his life around since." He said he is in a new relationship and has a two year old child.
Counsel also asked the judge to give his client credit for his guilty plea. He said a recent decision by the Supreme Court concerning Section 29 warrants would have made the prosecution much more difficult without a plea.
He said Freeman has represented Ireland playing pool and has participated in youth world championships.
"Seems like the sign of a misspent youth," Judge Hogan said.
The judge remanded Freeman on continuing bail to be sentenced later this month.
Freeman wept as he sat in court listening to Mr Ronan describe the hostage situation as "hell on earth."
The victim said he wondered how he would he would cope if his wife was murdered and detailed how the armed men told him his wife "would get a bullet" and asked him if he wanted to lose his wife for Christmas.
He said he and his family continued to suffer the effects for long afterwards. He said the family slept in the single room for 12 months after the raid and their home became "a crime scene."
Mr Ronan said that the family still feel unsafe in their home and are reminded of that night every time they lock up and check the alarm at night.
"Every strange car that passes our house becomes a suspect," he continued. "Little things like hearing a Dublin accent causes anxiety."
"The raiders stole our happiness, our dreams and our future," he said. "All of this just to rob the Bank of Ireland in Kilkenny."
Mr Ronan said he has suffered from sleep and heart issues and his children have suffered in school. He paid tribute to his "remarkable wife" who he said would get his vote for the mother of the year award.
The victim impact report of his wife, Mary Ronan, was read into the record by counsel. She detailed how she was held hostage for eight hours while not knowing of what "torture" her children might be going through.
After some hours in the weather station she said her kidnapper took out a gun and fired above her head. "I thought the next shot would be for me," she wrote
Mrs Ronan wrote that she later thought she could have said two million Hail Marys in that time.
"Those masked and armed raiders stole our children's safety and freedom within our own home and outside," she added.
Freeman will be sentenced later this month.

- UUID of filesystem on the mass-storage device
(+) cheap (-) copyable
- not really, you have to copy the vendor, product, serial number and UUID, which is not something you can do very easily
- i think copying should be doable with a programmable usb controller (eg arduino uno) calls for a proof of concept - arduino uno anybody ?
I've always been dreaming of having a Yubikey (with RFID - MIFARE compatible) - they could be used for all kinds of stuff once we have them... (and they can easily be revoked if someone ever decides to quit the HSBXL - or severely abuses the space)
For the programmers out there, have a look at this page: http://www.yubico.com/developers-intro
Pricing is $35 for one stick ... $300 for 10 sticks, 50 sticks go for $1.000 I think we can get enough interested people (possibly the other hackerspaces) to get 50 of them...
As we have quite a few Arduino hackers on the premises... maybe it could be combined with a MIFARE module (f.e. SL018):

A way it can be done: http://rfid.marcboon.com/
rfid thingies[edit]
- You can find the first on instructable http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-RFID-Door-Lock/
- i have a bunch of RFID stickers at home (this kind http://www.touchatag.com/e-store) -- about 25 -- would be more than willing to donate them to the space if it's for this project
lock actuator[edit]
- DIY hackaday link youtube link
- there is an electromagnet usable as doorlock - if i can't find anything else on fleemarket today i'll mount this
- Add a battery on the circuit just in case
Current status:[edit]
- Mechanical part is installed and working
- Build definitive stepper motor controller
- No real need for battery backup -> board members get the physical key as mechanical backup
- Moar pictures
