THURMOND, ALFRED STURGIS (1816–1873?). Alfred Sturgis Thurmond, soldier, lawman, and legislator, son of John G. and Ann Louisa (Sturgis) Thurmond, was born in Tennessee in 1816. He moved to Texas in 1836 to join the army but arrived after the Texas Revolution was over. From September 11 to December 11 he served as private in a ranger company raised by Michael Costley and made his home in Aransas City. After serving in two campaigns under Ewen Cameron in the Mexican Federalist army, he returned to Refugio County and joined Cameron's ranger company. He was town marshal at Victoria at the time of the Rafael Vásquez raid and joined a group to go to the aid of San Antonio. After Adrián Woll's invasion in September 1842 Thurmond again joined Cameron to return to San Antonio. He participated in the battle of Salado Creek and accompanied Alexander Somervell to the Rio Grande, where he continued on the Mier expedition and was captured and held at Perote Prison. Because of his knowledge of Spanish he was regularly used as interpreter. Thurmond was released from prison on September 16, 1844, and returned to Victoria, where he married Julia McGrew. Having been reelected town marshal while still at Perote, he served in 1847–48; he was also sheriff of Victoria County from 1847 to 1852. Sometime after his return from Mexico, he studied law and was admitted to the bar. He spoke on October 10, 1853, at a mass meeting of Refugio and San Patricio County landowners to protest legislation affecting titles to colonial land grants and afterward presented their memorial to the legislature. He appears to have lived at Indianola and Saluria for a while but by the Civil War had moved back to Refugio County and established a ranch at Mesquite Landing. During the Civil War Thurmond was a captain in Thomas Greenqv's brigade. He took the oath of amnesty on July 29, 1865, and retired to his ranch. He was a member of the House of Representatives in the Eleventh and Thirteenth legislatures, 1866 and 1873. After he failed to win reelection he decided to settle in Mexico. The sailing boat on which he was a passenger bound for Tuxpan was lost at sea, probably late in 1873.

Hi all, had a call from my doctor this morning to say that my smear has come back with a CM2 result (think this is the right term but not sure). What it means is that abnormal cells have been found at the neck of the womb and it needs to be treated in order to stop it becoming more serious. I had my first baby in May of last year, so probably triggered this. Has anyone had this result? How was it treated etc. Got a bit of a shock when I got the call this morning so if any of you can shed any light on this, I'd be really grateful. Thanks.
i got a phone call from my doc the 18th dec about abnormal cells, to tell the truth when she said that i didn't hear anymore. i went for my appointment the 28th of dec was worried the whole time. had biopsy done that day. no pain. than in may i had to go for treatment which i did, i was told it wasn't cancer and not to worry but she took another biopsy, i got a letter this week that i have abnormal cells and need more treatment, im actually so scared .
Hi everyone
just had a read through this thread and has been the most comforting thing I've read about getting abnormal smear tests.
i had my smear test done less than 3 weeks ago, nurse at the time told me I'd get a letter with the results and would be around 6 weeks time. I got no letter but a phone call yesterday from the nurse saying she had my results and that there was high end cell changes and that I would be going to tallaght hospital for a colposcopy and I'd receive an appointment. I'm climbing the walls since with worry, the reason I went to see te nurse was because I was having a lot of pelvic pain and back pain, and thought maybe I might have ovarian cysts or something. While she was doing the smear test she mentioned she could see a cyst and to go into my GP after for a referal to tallaght. I spoke to my GP then and she said oh no there's no way the nurse could have seen a cyst, they can only be seen by an ultrasound. Then she looked up my file notes and without another word handed me a referal letter. Did the nurse see something else and not want to worry me? I'm so nervous, I've two young kids, youngest is only 2 next month. My nerves are gone worrying!
Just wondering how long an appointment is for a colposcopy is? I wasn't given much information just that there was high end changes and needed to go for it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
I am glad you've posted this. It is worrying obviously as I imagine. I had abnormal smears for 10 years. They first found them when I was 19 and just before my 30th birthday they came back as normal. Underwent lots of tests every few months for the 10 years... Each time I was worried sick. Every time I get one now there's always that niggling feeling.But I think it's a safety precaution. Once you're under the right doctor and keep on top of it you should be fine... At one point they told me it was pre cancerous. It's very scary. But I'm glad you're getting the medical help and try not to worry too much but know how you feel...
Hi everyone,
Had two abnormal smears last year & was sent to colposcopy - was up the walls! Thankfully how ever when it came to it consultant said it was totally normally and didn't even do a biopsy. Had follow up routine 6 month smear in January & it came back as normal but with hpv... Which I presume is high risk as they said I need another colposcopy I called my gp and she said this is v routine due to new guidelines and predicts please god it will be ok..was delighted smear itself was normal .. Anyone ever have anything similar? I know every case is different but just looking for reassurance! Last colposcopy was grand as had nothing done... So I'm actually quite calm Thanks x
After 3+ years of smears colposcopies and biopsy because of abnormal cells I have been told I'm clear today back to gp in 3 years I'm soo happy!
Hi, I've had 2 lletz procedures, had my first dd after first one, am now pregnant again after second one, and I'm older than 37
I had a smear back in July that came back as cin2. Went to hospital for colposcopy in September. They couldn't see any abnormalities but took biopsies anyway. These came back with cin2 again so went in for lletz treatment in November. Doctor/consultant couldn't see any abnormalities again but said he would do the lletz anyway. Now my question is, does this affect future pregnancies??? I have 3 children but would not rule out another 1 maybe. Reason I ask is that I think doctor presumed I was done given age and 3 kids (I'm 37) should have spoken up on day but was so nervous. Feel like maybe he might have taken away a lot if that makes sense!! Anyone any experience of this?
Thanks for responding girls. Jellsbells, hope your doing ok. How did u find it? Thanks for the reassurance and sharing your experienceCassie. I wish I wasn't told anything at the time - it's just made the waiting more difficult. I hope I'm not waiting too much longer. In this day and age its a long time for test results but maybe - no news IS good news :-)
Hi lightening I had 2 biopsies last year about 6 weeks apart got the results in 3-4 weeks each time cin 2-3 didn't require the leetz as mine were in one area and the biopsies helped tested cin 1 last summer which is better and back for a follow up in feb. I think it's something they call you back to keep an eye on every year.I was also told my cervix looked abnormal which is scary and the wait for results is horrible try not to worry though it's very common and this treatment is to prevent anything more sinister.
Hi lighteningI am just home in bed after having the letz treatment, feeling a bit sore but I am ok. I had 2 abnormal smears and then was sent for the colposcopy, they told me they took 2 biopsies and I would hear back in 6-8 weeks, they rang me 10 days later to come in to talk to the doctor, I was up the walls and had to wait the weekend before I went in on Tuesday and booked me in for this morning, I had CIN 3. So the longer the wait the better I'd say! Let me know how you get on
This tread seems to be very quiet but I hope maybe it can become more active as I am one of many I am sure that could do with support while waiting on test results.
I had abnormalities come back in my smear recently and the day after I was told I was called in for a Colposcopy. I had this and the doctor took a few biopsies but did say that the cervix looked very abnormal.
I am now playing the waiting game for the results and the next steps.
How long is the wait time for biopsy? Am I right in thinking the longer the better? If something sinister was found I would receive a call quickly?
Hi guys,I've been reading through the thread in detail and found all the information very helpful, I also find the good results very comforting.I'm currently waiting on biopsy results after colposcopy 2.5 weeks ago. I went to finbarrs in Cork my consultant was very nice and put me at ease throughout the procedure (not a nice experience)I'm very worried it could be something serious my smears all came back clear (I've had a few recently) but was referred due to irregular bleeding and other symptoms I've had for about 2 years. They changed my pill a few times but it didn't work, put me on tablets but still same symptoms.The specialist told me she could see abnormal area after the colposcopy and took 2 biopsies from the area. I suppose I wonder what else it could be as she did confirm all wasn't OK. The waiting is the worst I've even started messing up at Work from the worry. I got married a year and half ago and we wanted to try for a baby as I'm 32. Has anyone had symptoms like mine ?Tks x
Hi there, I have had my second LLETS and was just wondering if anyone of you know what the next stage will be if down the line I have another CIN 3 smear. Has anyone had a third LLETS?. Thanks LBB
I've just had my second leep prodecure after Cin 3 - I'm just shook emotionally at this stage.
Was wondering if anyone could recommend the gynacologist they had, or hospital, I'm in Dublin and will go public or private,
I had a different Doctor this time round, and his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired! Could you tell me if you were waiting long to get an appointment?
Thanks for any info!
hi guys I had a smear done at my GP's, came back abnormal, wasn't too worried tbh. But I've just got the colposcopy date, it's not 4 weeks from my smear. This is into galway hospital. Are they normally so quick,or do they thhink i need it?
Hi guy s went for a smear today 3yrs since last one which was normal.. But something that just bothers me slightly there was blood in the sample that the doc took is this normal?
Hey ECSLT what's the supplement and where do you get it? I've had letz done twice now,my smears are always abnormal and I'd another biopsy done on Thursday so I'm open to give anything a try x
So glad I am not the only one with cervical dysphasia or Cin 2/3 in my case. I left Ireland within the last few years, had mild abnormal that went after giving birth then totally cleared. My Gyno was just saying " ok see u in 3 years " then phoned me to say the results were back from my early dec smear. I was so upset. So devastated. I believe strongly in taking care of myself nd would recommend a supplement called DIM. It cleared it for me then came back after I neglectd my health Anyway good luck glad to know I am not alone in this journey.....
Hi Secbab, to be honest I would wait for your next smear. I was told that I had slight irregularity and not to worry, just come back in 6 months. I got pregnant so couldn't have the follow up smear, then after dd was born I was breastfeeding so my period didn't come back for ages. So in all I was a year late for the repeat smear & it then transpired that I had cin2 cells & had to have letz. Am back in the hospital on Wednesday to check if all is ok. In my case it seems to be ok as I had a smear over the summer that came back clear but you never know. Probably best to get a clean bill of health before ttcing.
Thankfully they got all of my tumour so I'm all clear. My symptoms were pelvic pain and back pain and spotting. Hope everything is fine with your results
Hi kimmykims, im glad to hear you are on the mend and please god everything will go ok for you on the 24th. Just wondering did you have any pain or irregular periods or anything? Im waiting on results of my first smear and just feel a bit nervous, thanks cutesy.
Hi all,I've only come across this thread now, wish I had of found it sooner! I'm 13 days post radical hysterectomy and lymph node removal due to cervical cancer. Was diagnosed in July after smear/colposcopy/LLETZ. I'm 26. I'm doing ok but recovery is hard. Delighted to see all you ladies getting smears,chasing results etc as so many women neglect this area of their health. I was diagnosed after my first ever smear ( which i Foolishly put off for a year ) now I'm living with the consequences. I find out on the 24 th if they got all the cancer. God I hate the waiting!!! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I've been through everything and will give ye my best take on it :) hope you are all well xx
Rang hospital and as the consultant was not in I had to leave my questions with secretary and she said she'd ring me back in a week.Great isn't it?So annoyed now don't know what to do.
Hi Secbab2, sorry u waited so long for a reply. My story is similar. I had Cin3 on a smear in dec 2010 had to have a biopsy in March and letz in June 2011. Since then I have had two smears and both came back abnormal. If not 3. I am so baffled by it all and you can imagine very pi**ed off.I wanted to try for a baby in 2011 but had to put it off with letz so I am ringing the hospital today to find out if I can ttc and what will happen with repeat smear. I will inform you if i get information That might put your mind at ease.Difference with you and me is I had the cin3 cells and had removal. Now waiting for clear smear.I think you could go ahead and ttc as it is your first abnormal result and I was told abnormal cells can be anything like wrong time of month.HTH will be back on later today if possible.
Hey all, after my first ever smear ( I know I am so bold ) the results came back with slight abnormalities with borderline changes and to repeat in six months, was just wondering?? we were going to try for a baby soon, should we wait until I have the next smear done before xmas??
I am actually afraid to have a smear done now. I have had them in the past but so many people I know have cancer including my dad and I have this fear now. I thought I'd just go for it and get it over with last week but then my AF came and I couldn't.
Hi Cathy10. This seems to be a very common thing to happen after having a baby. My smear came back abnormal after my second baby (whos now 8) and when I went to get the abnormal cells removed they had gone by themselves. Had another baby after that (whos now 5) and have had no problems at all thank god. So i would try not to worry too much even though its easier said than done. Hope this might put your mind at ease a little to know that theres others that went through the same and are absolutely fine. Best of luck!
Thanks Janman, appreciate reply. Think I will phone nurse tom to chat with her. Read letter on Friday written in health section of Examiner asking dr about an irregular smear result and dr advised not to try for baby until positive smear result has been given. Well that made up my mind that we will continue to try for a baby and hope that all will work out. Sometimes tmi can be a bad thing so am putting my best foot forward and getting on with things.
Good health to allx
Hi Guinness,I understand your panic!and can totally sympathise with the lack of male understanding.I recently received an abnormal smear result,borderline changes.normally when changes are 'only' borderline they get repeated in six months as the chances of the cells returning to normal are very high.its very common.I had that borderline smear taken 18 mths ago and only got the news 3wks ago.I've had my repeat and am anxiously waiting the results.It'shard not to worry,I know.mote than likely the next one will be clear,that's what my gynae told me.hope you can set it aside as best you can.good luck
Came home from work this eve wrecked looking forward to spending a bit of time with our little lady and putting the feet up when I was greeted with the results of my smear which said it would have to be repeated in 6 months.....I was stuck to the spot - the information leaflet was useless, I rang the freephone number which wasn't answered and rang the nurse who did the smear to find out what this means but she off work til Monday.
Had 1st baby 14 months ago and hope to concieve again shortly. This has reallly thrown me, Has anyone else become more aware of their mortality since having baba?? Just couldn't imagine the thought of her growing up without me. Awful morbid I know. something the men seem to have no concept of.
Thank God for rrollercoaster! xx
Hi Everyone,
Am in a bit of a panic though reading this thread has helped somewhat. In April 2010 I had a smear and on Wednesday this week, eighteen months later I received a letter stating borderline abnormalities.I am so annoyed and upset.
This smear was taken in an oncology/gynaecology dept of a large hospital. I had borderline ovarian tumor a few yrs ago, it was removed no chemo etc just six monthly follw ups and all well since thankfully. I asked since having that smear was all ok and was told if you were not contacted its fine.Then I get the letter telling me its not.
I went back to hospital yesterday, had repeat smear,my 2008 smear was normal. I was so annoyed and so upset.
I know borderline can resolve itself and its not the serious borderline condition I had before but Im sick with worry and results will be about 6 weeks,offered to pay to speed up process but doesn't make a difference.
Eighteen months is a long time for things to progress if it haven't resolved?
I know its a waiting game but feel like I will go crazy waiting.
Also, found out a week ot two after smear I was pregnant.There seem to be conflicting opinions on whether this influences result.
hi ellie 44. thanks for your reply, i dont even know if i have abnormal cells as all the letter said was that i needed a repeat in 6 months,, ill ring my doctor anyway monday to see if they have recieved my results they should be able to give me more details,
thanx again,
Hey Junemum2,
Are you in the cervical screening programme?? All my letters come back saying that a slight abnormality has shown & I have to come back in 6months.. Thats it probably why you have to go back too! Ringing the clinic you probably wont get any answers as the receptionist wont no much on you but you doc should get your results in the next few days check back with your doc...
Best of luck :D
hey, just wondering does anyone have the same experience,
i got my results this morning saying that i need a repeat smear in 6 months, they didnt give any details as to what CIN it is or anything!! rang my doc and she said just go back in 6 months like the letter says, they didnt get my results at the surgery yet! should i ring back and ask for more details when they get my results, or is it anything to worry about as they didnt write down that i had a cin, so it means i dont have one??
its all so confusing,
thank you for reading xx
I just wanted to share my story.
I was referred for colposcopy after having 3 smears that came back with borderline changes. I had my colposcopy in the Coombe, think i was only waiting about 3 weeks and when the doc was doing it she said she couldnt see any abnormality but was going to take a biops as i was complaining of tummy pain and bleeding after intercourse. She asked me to return in 4 weeks for the results. I went back and was told that biopsy had shown CIN3 and i was to have teh Lletz procedure done. She told me to hop up on the bed and she was going to do it for me there and then. Was in a complete state of shock but had the treatment done. I couldnt return for my 6 month smear after the treatment as i was pregnant. i ahve since had a baby girl. I had a smear done 12 weeks after having my baby and it was clear : ) I had another smear done in May at teh hospital and am back to the hospital this wk for results. If its clear then doc said she would discharge me back to the care of my gp and just go for annual smear. Am hoping like mad that it will be clear but the last time i had a clear smear was 12 weeks after i had my oldest daughter so am keeping my fingers crossed that i wont need any more treatment or anything.Am just feeling a bit anxious and worried and i prob wont settle till i have the results so fingers crossed. Best of luck to everyone on this thread who is going for the Lletz treatment, its not a painful procedure, more uncomfortable and it doesnt take long.
I had CIN 3 like you Tnika and within 2 weeks I had the Letz laser treatment to remove them, they brought me in for Colposcopy (had it done in OLOL) and during the colposcopsy the dr found the cells and lasered them...I was awake for the procedure, but the do inject aneasthetic where the sun dont shine....so you dont feel it, but as far as i know if your v nervous you can request to be put under.....its not pleasant but worth it if it saves lives..
I have had 2 normal smears since then and just had my yearly one there last friday I am a bit nervous(more like bricking it.....woah) but if theyv returned I guess Ill have the treatment again- the nurse was v reassuring though and she explained that by detecting the cells that they get rid of them and in a way your back to norm, and it takes years for them to actually turn cancerous(In most cases years) so by getting the smears regularly you should be A OK..... :)
I got results to an abnormal smear last week and today I got a letter to go for the letz procedure next week. When I rang my dr she said it was Cin 2 and when I rang hospital to try and cancel as I will have my period they told me I shouldn't as I am in a very high category. I told them I could continue taking the pill and skip my period and they said that would be a really Gd idea as the next available date would b mid may. I am not too worried about the procedure but I thought it would b a 6mt wait and this has happened within 3 weeks. Should I be concerned re my results. I'm in cork and going to st. Finbarrs. Does any one know is this normal for cork appt's
cicidee Please don't worry ! sometimes the cell changes do come back , that doesn't mean they will always come back and no it doesn't mean you are more likely to get cancer.
CIN 3 is what I had (I was on the thread at the start ) and it does mean severe changes but its still a long way from cancer ,from what I have read if left untreated it would normally take over 10 years to become cancerous . So its a good thing you are being checked so regularly
best of luck!
ok I'm a bit floored here so bare with me.... had cin3 6months ago, lletz biopsy done, clear margins. had repeat colposcopy yday, cells back........booked in for lletz and biopsy again. why did it come back?? Is this normal?? Will this always come back forever?? does this mean I'm more likely to get cancer??please help
I had two smears done over the past year, both came back slightly abnormal. I went to the Coombe last week to have a Colpolscop done. The results two polops in womb , inflamed womb and mirena has to be removed also inflamed. I have the mirena in for four years with no problems at all. I am booked in for d and c in January . I also have a 2cm cyst on the ovary which has to be checked also. My sister has Ovarian cancer and two cousins also. Anyone have anything similar Cindy
Abby thank you so much for taking the time to post - you've reassured me. Yes, googling was not a good idea although I did glean from it that the word "glandular" added a little bit more to the scenario. I decided to get this looked at sooner rather than later as its been so long since my previous smear that I've no idea how long the cells have been abnormal or indeed HOW abnormal. I'm booked in later on this week so I'll pop back on and let you know how it went. Thanks again.
Hi magnolily,I also had same result as you from a smear this Jan, it was the first abnormal one i had (I had 2 normal ones prior to this).Changes in glandular cells not as common as in the usual cells. I also freaked myself out googling, it is hard to resist though! Basically you are referred for a colposcopy with this result eventhough it is borderline because the glandular cells are a bit further back in the neck of the cervix, so harder to get at and changes in them not be picked up as readily as other cells. The colposcopy is just a tiny camera on a scope inserted as they would do a smear, which lets them look closly at the cervix and tehy use a special stain to pick out any abnormal looking areas if present. They may take asmall biopsy at the time (they did with mine) and send them off for analysis. If these show any abnormal cells again, they may bring you back for a LETZ or other procedure where they basically burn away the abnormal patch of cells with a Laser under local (not really painful just uncomfortable). This should get rid of them, they would call you back for a repeat smear in a few months to check and if normal , you might be monitored by having smears every 6 mths or so for a while. I got abnormal result early Jan, had Colposcopy with biopsy taken late Feb, then LETZ treatment in April, repeat smear end of June and TG don't have to go back now till Jan as last smear was normal.Any Qs on this PM me!HTH
I've just had my first smear after 14 years and it came back: Atypical Endocervical Cells, Borderline Nuclear Abnormalities Glandular. I've been referred for Colpolscopy. Can someone tell me what this actually means... googling it is the worst thing I ever did!!
Thanks for your reply. My smear came back with borderline abnormalities. I have to go for a repeat smear in six months and there is an about 50 per cent chance the cells will have returned to normal by then. If they are still borderline I will have another repeat smear in another six months and I will only need a colposcopy if they did not return to normal then or if they become worse, so all good for now. My private consultant gynaecologist who I attended because of pelvic pain, painful periods, ovarian cysts and endometriosis does colposcopies also now, so I will go to her if any further investigations or treatments should be necessary in the future.I reallly hope I will not need any treatment on my cervix because I want to keep my Mirena coil in at all costs because it keeps my problems at bay.
I think you are referred to the clinic that your doctor has stated as being the clinic of choice in their practise.Honestly you do not need a GA for this procedure.I had Lletz fairly recently. Wasn't the most pleasant thing - but most definitely not painful.
HiI had a smear test on Friday last week and I hope everything is normal, I will have to wait for a few weeks for the results. My previous smear tests were all normal so I should not be worrying too much, but I am kind of a chicken and I am worried about what would happen if I need further investigations or even any treatment.Can you choose where to be refered to for the colposcopy etc?How much would it cost privately?Is it possible to have treatment under GA if treatment was needed? I really could not do it under just local anaestetic. I heard that putting the local anaestetic into the cervix is actually quite painful. I don't like the word "uncomfortable" when used by members of a medical proffession because it usually means you are not crying in pain but almost.
Hi Obi,Thanks for the reply.I have my app. as they gave me a date as I left the clinic.Figured as much about the results. Thanks!KW
Hi,I had lletz in holles st and I got a letter about 4 weeks later just confirming the level of cin found on the tissue removed and confirming it had all been removed. Also had an appointment date for 6 months time for a repeat smear.KW give it about another 2 weeks and if you dont recieve anything give them a ring but really once you havent heard anything since 2 weeks having the lletz done its unlikely anything nasty was seen. They look at all the biopsies straight away and would have rang you , its just the actual typing up of letters in these hospitals that is slow!.obi
Hi,I had a Leetz procedure 2 weeks ago in the Rotunda under a local.Just wondering will I receive a letter telling me the results of a biopsy on the the piece they removed.Do they tell you that you are all clear or do you wait to hear something when you go back in 6 months for a repeat smear?Thanks

Adding Soul to the Syllabus
One by one, a class of sixth-graders read aloud a passage and title that each has selected to go with one of Zion Ozeri's striking black-and-white portraits.
Seated with the young critics at Morasha Jewish Day School, the New York photographer seems pleased when students accurately discern the context of his untitled images, which the students have filtered through their study of Jewish values.
Neither does he hesitate to crib from one who summoned a particularly apt metaphor for a photo of candle lighting. "What was that title?" he asked, scrambling for pen and paper during a morning-long session last month.
Ozeri is the third visual artist invited in two years to the 110-student school, the county's smallest day school, located in Rancho Santa Margarita. The school's progressive director, Eve Fein, is convinced that art can be an educator's most powerful resource for giving dimension to abstract concepts from books.
"These are Jewish artists interested in making Judaism relevant by making traditions meaningful," Fein said about Ozeri and other artists who have visited — a muralist and a ritual object maker.
The photographer's muse is his Yemeni parents' first home in Israel, a tented camp near Tel Aviv where a half-dozen languages and cultures mixed. His images capture disappearing traditions of his parents' generation and evolved to focus on contrasts between generations.
The catalyst behind Fein's creative approach to education is a high-minded, three-year research initiative whose outcome will defy objective measure. The aim is to add soul to the school syllabus.
Along the way, the surprising result at Morasha and other sites is a change of campus culture that redirects parents and staff every bit as much as students. The outcome is getting attention from national authorities in Jewish education, such as the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education.
Morasha is one of eight schools selected nationwide to participate in the research, known as Jewish Day Schools for the 21st Century (JDS-21). It is underwritten by New York's Avi Chai Foundation and directed by Michael Zeldin, a professor of Jewish education at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion's school of education.
While last century's Jewish immigrants learned American values in day schools, Zeldin contends most teachers are poorly prepared to make the intercurricular connections expected of contemporary instructors. His premise is that day school students, removed from their immersion in American culture, should be absorbing more than secular subjects and Judaica. Parents, staff and the school environment all should support seizing Jewish moments in the academic day.
Zeldin's proposed solution is deceptively simple. He asks administrators to use Jewish texts to start a campus conversation about identifying the school's values; to find an imaginative way to express them; and to develop ways to integrate them into the school.
"Other schools have values like honesty and integrity, but they are not Jewish values tied to text," said Zeldin, noting that a contemporary rabbi suggested a Jewish path exists to universal values. "This helps schools set a Jewish path," Zeldin said.
It took two years for Morasha to distill its top 10 values: repairing the world, greater Jewry, faith, being a good person, Israel, prayer, education, customs and rituals, respect and community.
Kathleen A. Canter of Aliso Viejo, a parent who chaired Morasha's CDS-21 task force, discovered that it was an enriching experience to study Jews from antiquity who grapple over values. Values take on deeper meaning when they come from your own history, she said.
Just articulating the values, Fein said, "helps sharpen or deepen their presence in our school."
She also made the intellectual leap to see values depicted in images by Ozeri, who hopes to use Morasha's project as a model elsewhere.
The entire sixth-grade class cherry-picked images from Ozeri's portfolio that captured each of the school's values. Before the photographer's visit, students looked for texts to support their assumptions about the photos. The final piece was to give students a disposable camera to capture on film an image showing a Jewish value. Ozeri offered expert advice on composition. "You don't have to go to India, like I did," he said. "Use what you have."
"This is nothing new," said Lili B. Landman of Aliso Viejo, a mother with two girls at the school, who videotaped Ozeri's presentation. "This school encourages [students] to go out and explore. It's a different way of learning, with a camera. But they've done it in other ways, too."
Zeldin applauds Fein for finding an innovative method to evoke the school's values. "It's the perfect point of entry because it speaks the language of children," he said, who are visually oriented.
"Art touches the soul in a way spoken language rarely does," Zeldin said.
Other schools involved also focused their agenda around Jewish values. Parents at the Rashi School of Newton, Mass., for example, were determined that the value of respect, recognized for teachers and students, also extend to them. Text study at the Pardes School in Arizona deepened surface relationships and provided a common language between parents and educators, who often spew jargon.
Some schools, which Zeldin declined to identify, lose patience with the process. "This process is meant to transform the ways schools do business," Zeldin said. "To get there takes time. The detractors say, 'Can't we come up with a program for Jewish learning without the text?'"
Those engaged in the JDS-21 project are changed by it, he said, describing one task force that for a mutual friend decided to jointly purchase a gift. Their Shabbat-basket wedding gift included candlesticks, candles, wine and Jewish texts on love. "It was so meaningful for them to gather the text," Zeldin said.
"Every time I hear those stories, I'm astounded," he said. "The byproduct is more powerful than the product."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Xan Parker
Review for Playworks, Oakland, CA, USA
My company has done a fundraising day with Playworks, and has done some filming of their schools and organization. Playworks is one of the most innovative, holistic and promising nonprofits I have ever come across. I am personally inspired by their mission and all of their messages in my own life as a mother and community member. I am inspired to spread their message and ideas, and feel that is part of what they would like to happen. They are not only an organization that is affecting communities, schools and kids all over the country, but they are also clearly the start of a movement. And every part of what they do feels like the kind of changes our kids and our communities need - and most especially our schools.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I only wish they were in more cities and more schools, and somehow reached out to a multiplied amount of schools in other ways than being present there.
Was your donation impactful?

The season of Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit is upon us
That unsung New York Yankees shortstop whose name, if I recall correctly, is Derek Jeter has flown under the radar long enough. As the lunchpail-carrying, work-a-day guy who has toiled in virtual anonymity during his unheralded 15-year career approaches his 3,000th hit, we baseball fans may finally get to know a little bit about this man in pinstripes. It's about time: 2011, dare I say, will be the Year of Derek Jeter!
OK, maybe because Jeter plays in such a high-profile city for such a high-profile team with so many high-profile girlfriends, every year is the Year of Derek Jeter. But for all his many, many honors that will one day be etched onto a nifty plaque in Cooperstown, none perhaps can match becoming the first New York Yankees player to ever notch 3,000 career hits. {YSP:MORE}
If there's one thing baseball fans love even more than delicious beer, it's a tidy milestone with a bunch of zeroes at the end. There is something comforting about round numbers; the more goose eggs we can append to a non-zero integer, the better. Think 500 home runs, 300 pitcher wins, or that time the Phillies lost their 10,000th game. Numbers that are divisible by 100 put rear ends in seats.
Unfortunately, 2010 was not a fruitful season for Jeter. Despite winning another Gold Glove and being voted into the All-Star game again, he ended the year with career lows in batting average and slugging percentage, seemingly chopping grounders at well-placed infielders in every at-bat. But Jeter, a guy who used to collect 200-hit seasons like the rest of us collect nickels and dimes, needs just 74 hits before this magical odometer rolls over. For those of you planning your honeymoon around when his possible milestone date happens, he recorded his 74th hit last season on June 6. Plan accordingly.
Interestingly, the Yankees could have one of their players reach the 3,000-hit plateau during the 2012 season, too, if Alex Rodriguez averages at least 164 hits over the next two years. Totally doable. But other round-number milestones that could be attained this season include Jim Thome's assault at 600 career homers (he's 11 shy), Mariano Rivera's attempt to close out his 600th career save (needing 41) and Albert Pujols' 1,000th walk. Yawn. None of these marks have the same cachet as Jeter's preordained accomplishment, especially considering that the shortstop might have enough get-up-and-go to reach the top-five all-time hitsmen during his current four-year contract. Hey Tris Speaker, take a hike..
Having a reasonable sense of perspective about Jeter is difficult for someone who owns — and still wears — a 14-year-old Yankees T-shirt with the No. 2 on the back. Perhaps once Jeter collects his 3,000th hit I'll replace that ragged, faded, navy blue sign of my fandom with a new shirt that I can wear while my favorite shortstop chases down his next 1,000 hits.

The fundamental question of human evil is addressed in Oscar-winning film "Son of Saul." Hungarian actor Geza Rohrig plays the main character in this death-camp film, but he was no ordinary actor among Oscar contenders. He is a poet, novelist and teacher — and most of all an Orthodox Jew. Adopted as a child by a Hungarian Jewish couple whose relatives were murdered by the Nazis, Rohrig in his late teens intensively studied the Holocaust, and made an extended visit to Auschwitz. Rohrig's character in the film, Saul, is a member of the Sonderkommando — groups of Jewish prisoners forced to herd fellow Jews into the gas chambers and dispose of their remains as part of the Nazis' industrial process of extermination.
Q: How do you describe your own Jewish faith?
A: Modern Orthodox, I would say, with a little Hasidic touch.
Q: How did it come about?
A: That has a lot to do with Auschwitz. Immediately I had a sense that I felt like I belong there. I started to examine this very strong reaction of mine. Why can't I just let go, and go back to the train station? I rented a room and came back for a month. There's a lot of unburied dead people there. It's the largest cemetery of Jews. Every third victim in Auschwitz was Hungarian.
Q: Why would you want to engage that particular horrific slice of history?
A: We are talking about the heart of Europe in the middle of the 20th century. With the cooperation of lawyers and doctors and architects and the clergy, in front of their very own eyes 10,000 images of God were gassed and burned every day in Auschwitz. I lost faith in man, and I have a moral necessity to believe, and if I couldn't believe in man, that kind of led me to believe in God.
Q: Jews and many others, too, have remained perplexed and agonized by this lasting question of how could a loving God have this happen on his watch presiding over the human world? How have you wrestled with it?
A: It's very hard to justify God's conduct in those years. Avraham (Abraham), when he was trying to negotiate about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, says, "Will the judge of the whole world not do justice? How can you destroy the righteous with the wicked?" All I can tell you is that whenever I came across an argument against God, I always found a counterargument for God. It eventually comes down to the question of who you are. If, by believing, you are more you, then you have to believe — and I am more myself believing. I'm kind of disoriented if I try to take a position that will deny the existence of God, because that's not who I am.
Q: So for you where was God in the death camps?
A: I believe God was right in the middle of it. God was not abandoning his people. I think we are given free choice and God was suffering along with everybody else who were suffering there. I think that he escorted us all the way.
Q: Even into the gas chambers?
A: Yes. If I wouldn't believe that, a million-and-a-half Jewish children who were murdered upon arrival, then I would have no choice but to spit God into his face. There is no other way to make this case of God unless I believe that he was there.
Q: Can I ask about the role of the Sonderkommando? I gather you're dismayed at having had to take up the role of defending them. What's dismaying about that?
A: I really think that the most demonic aspect of Nazism was this sort of division of labor, to leave the dirty work of the Holocaust to the victims themselves. Let them burn their brothers and sisters. And by doing that their innocence was taken away from them. They were kind of dragged down to the rock bottom of the morality of the perpetrators.
Q: What do you see as the meaning of your character Saul's conviction that even around all this evil and nihilism he wanted to achieve a proper burial for one young boy?
A: His pursuit is to bury this one boy. He can't bury them all. He's going to bury this one. It's his job, it's his purpose from now on. That's what keeps him alive. I always defend Saul. People walk up to me after screenings and they say "This guy is a fool, he is an idiot. What difference does it make to bury one boy, when there are so many others going in the oven?" And I say, "Listen, just because something is impractical, it doesn't mean that it's not important or even not substantial." So for Saul this was absolutely paramount to make sure this one is buried, and I think it's beautiful.
Q: Do you fear future generations won't feel connected to the Holocaust?
A: Younger generations, they go to Auschwitz and do selfies. It's not a lack of knowledge. These kids don't deny it happened, they all know it's 6 million, they all know it's gas. But they don't feel it.
Q: Seventy-one years after the liberation of Auschwitz, are you hopeful?
A: I don't think history turned a page. I think genocide is a permanent possibility. And I thought the bloodiest possible century is just behind us; the 21st must be much better. Well, 15 years into the 21st, it doesn't seem very promising.

Which looks plausible. It's got the right files open. Notice that lsof(1) knows relatively little about fd 8. If we point fs_usage(1) at mds and modify a file, we see something like this:
12:39:13.450 read F=8 B=0x4c 0.005875 W mds
That F=8? That's the bad news I was half expecting to hear. mds gets its notifications via this mystery kind of file descriptor.
A tour of file alteration monitoring techniques
You may have heard around the time that 10.4 was released that Spotlight used BSD's kqueue notification mechanism. Apple posted sample code called filesystem_examples during WWDC 2005, and one of the examples, kqueue_fragment.c shows you how to use kqueue(2).
The trouble with this is that you have to give a file descriptor to monitor vnode events on. And we want to monitor an entire file system (or a significant subtree of it). There's no constant in sys/event.h to let you monitor all files, and trying the obvious values of 0 and -1 doesn't work. (0 unsurprisingly, because it's a perfectly valid file descriptor that a process might have open. Given the number of processors where 0 sometimes means the literal and sometimes means the register, it seemed worth a try.) And running lsof(1) on Apple's sample doesn't show anything like the mysterious file descriptor 8 of mds, so it really does look like this isn't the mechanism.
The kernel event queue mechanism, then, looks rather like Linux's
F_NOTIFY (see fcntl(2) for details), which shares the limitation of requiring you to register an interest in all the files and directories you find, and taking special note of any new files created. The BSD mechanism simply trades off inventing a new mechanism for kernel/process communication against the ugliness of re-using signals (which is what Linux does). Linux 2.6 offers inotify, which at least addresses the problems of using too many file descriptors and using signals as a communication mechanism.
As usual, still other Unixes have their own mechanisms. SGI had their own imon(7) inode monitor device, but they also had the good sense to write fam(1), the File Alteration Monitor. This offers a portable interface to the file alteration monitoring facilities of any Unix. The implementation will use whatever the system's best alternative is, even falling back to polling on a system that's too primitive to support anything better. (The potential advantage being that if multiple clients care about the same file, only one process need poll it. Plus you can write your application one way and know that it'll work as well as possible on any given Unix.)
fam(1) is really clever in that if it's asked to monitor a file on an NFS mount, it will try to contact the daemon on the NFS server (and fall back to polling remote files otherwise). Again, this is transparent to your application.
Debian Linux seems to ship with fam(1), seemingly because GNOME uses it. Mac OS doesn't. I don't know about Solaris.
There are two problems, though, above and beyond the question of whether it's running on your system. The first problem is the usual one of only working on individual files and directories, and not directory trees. The second is that there's a limit of 1000 monitoring requests per process. So if you need to monitor a tree of 25,000 files, you're going to need some extra cunning. There are also security concerns associated with running the daemon as root.
There's an inotify-based rewrite in the works, but it's not obvious why that's a better idea than patching FAM. At least it uses an extended subset of the same API, so if you stick to the intersection, your application should just work. The rewrite's lack of support for NFS seems like a step backwards.
MS Windows has FindFirstChangeNotification, which takes a boolean that specifies whether to monitor the given directory or to include its subdirectories too. Unfortunately, as far as I know, this doesn't work on remote file systems, so although it's the interface I want, it doesn't necessarily have the implementation to back it up. And, of course, it's specific to MS operating systems which – though I try to support them – I don't actually use.
The Unix API is fine if your application is to monitor a configuration file, say, and automatically re-read it if it changes. But it sucks if you're an editor, say, and you want to automatically respond to changes to files. Perhaps the user's version control system has just added or removed a few files, and you want to update your index. Or a file has changed outside of the editor for whatever reason, and you want to update your live search results. These things are hard to do, and that's a pity, because they're exactly the things I want to do. (At the moment, my editor knows when it has modified a file and will update its search result accordingly, but it has no clue about external modifications.) Before Spotlight, virus scanning was perhaps the best-known application for the style of notification that includes subtrees. This could be why MS Windows has the best support for it.
If you're unfamiliar with file system or protocol implementation, you might be wondering why this is all so challenging? Surely you just need to do a few string comparisons? The problems include the fact that most implementations won't actually have the pathname conveniently available (the notion of "file handle" goes all the way down, and isn't just a wrapper for the name), the existence of links (both hard and symbolic), and the security concerns about giving away information without going through the usual open(2) path. That's one reason why it's so common to require a file descriptor: it acts as proof that you're allowed to know something about the file or directory in question.
A system that might become important in future is Dazuko. (The name is Germanic, in the style of Flak or Kripo.) It offers a very nice API, but at the time of writing it supports neither Mac OS nor MS Windows, and lacks the ubiquity that would make it really useful. Because of its intended security applications, Dazuko even lets you veto file accesses.
For now, though, I guess I'm stuck. None of this is really suitable for my application, and I can't even knock up a quick hack for the benefit of Mac OS users.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I've wanted to cosplay Lina ever since I WAS her age. I promised myself I wouldn't want a costume for ten years or more without at least trying to make it, AND BY GOD EVEN IF I ONLY MADE IT BY A FEW MONTHS, I MADE IT! And I'm so happy I did, I'm very proud and happy with how she came out. :)
I've always loved the version of Lina when she's wearing the blue (sometimes white) corset looking thing the best. The first time I ever saw her was on the VHS slipcover of the first movie that was released in America, so that's probably why. So, that's the version I decided to do!
The wig started as a Linda XXL in Fire Red, which I purchased from GodSaveTheQueenFashions. I cut and styled the bangs, which was pretty simple. The headband I made out of a strip of black pleather, into which I hand-embroidered the designs with ice blue embroidery floss. I lined the headband in the same red fabric from the cape.
The shoulder plates are made from foamies, with wire around the edges, covered in suede. The rounded ball looking parts were a large Christmas ornament I used a Dremel to cut apart and carve, then also covered in suede. They are attached to a frame on the inside so that they can fit onto my shoulders. The front silver closure is made from leather pieces I cut/painted/attached, and they snap into the fronts of the shoulder plates.
The little yellow top I made and patterned from scratch with an ivory interlock knit. The gem on the yellow top and all of the gems on the entire rest of the outfit I resin cast with epoxy resin. The gold borders on the large gems were cut, heat formed, sanded, and painted sintra.
The corset is an overbust ice blue corset made with suede and laces up the back. It is fully steel boned for extra support and awesomesauce. :P
The belts were belt blanks I bought from Tandy and then hand painted and put the snaps/closures onto with the help of GSTQ.
The black side of the cape is a lightweight suiting from JoAnn and is fully lined with a dark red polyester shantung. It is completely topstitched around the edges. The gloves were bought, and I shortened them and put the fur on them by hand.
The butt-cape thing was patterned from scratch and made from a lightweight yellow linen. The pants I patterned from scratch and made with dark red moleskin fabric. It has a fully functional fly in the front, which is covered by those weird random panel things she has.
The boots were originally too tall, so I cut them apart, shortened them, then re-attached the cuffs at the top.
I've wanted to make this for so long, it made me super happy that even though Slayers is an older series, a lot of people recognized her and complimented it! ^_^

Is it possible to invoke Application_Start when using AppFabric and AlwaysRunning for an application pool? I have read
http://blogs.iis.net/appfabric/archive/2010/12/09/wcf-and-appfabric-autostart.aspx and
however it appears from the description of what Auto-Starting an asp.net application should do is call the Application_Start method for the website. If I want to write a custom provider to do this (which I have on another proof of concept) I need to
manually update a config file for this to work. Additionally there are quite a few things that might be happening in the Application_Start method: initializing routing, registering IOC containers, caching, service bus registration etc. So
to pull all that out and put it into a custom provider seems odd.
Are there any plans for AppFabric to instantiate the Application_Start during warm up? If not any suggestions on how others are handling all of the other things that are currently being done in Application_Start that would be nice to have done before
someone hits the site for the first time?
Thank you, Wade

Steve Lavin listed all the things his St. John's team failed to do well. San Francisco, his father's former school, served as quite an example on both ends of the floor for the Red Storm as they try to clean things up before the Big East season begins.
De'End Parker scored 21 points and hit a pair of 3-pointers during a decisive second-half run, and San Francisco snapped St. John's four-game winning streak with an 81-65 victory Tuesday night to spoil Lavin's return to his hometown.
"When teams come in with a high caliber behind their name, and come in like, `We're the man,' we as players have a chip on our shoulder," Parker said. "I play better with a chip on my shoulder. We know when you play St. John's you've got to bring your A game. You're going to bring a little extra fire into it."
Cody Doolin added 18 points and a career-high 14 assists to go with two steals and two blocked shots for the Dons (5-1), who won their fifth in a row since a season-opening loss to Stanford on Nov. 9.
JaKarr Sampson scored 22 points and D'Angelo Harrison had 14 but went 1 for 6 from 3-point range for the cold-shooting Red Storm (6-3), who didn't have a second-half comeback in them this time as has been their winning formula so far.
"I thought San Francisco beat us to the punch in every phase of the game," Lavin said. "I'm not pleased with the unevenness of our play. We didn't play with much purpose. ... USF exposed some things that give us a failing report card of things we need to work on defensively."
USF opened the first 4:03 of the second half with a 14-2 run to take a 52-37 lead. St. John's crept back within 59-56 but didn't get any closer against the up-tempo Dons, who pushed the pace all night and overcame a 37-34 rebounding disadvantage to hand Lavin's team a lopsided loss.
After an impressive 4-0 home stretch in Queens, N.Y., Lavin's team traveled cross-country on Saturday for a short West Coast stop in his native San Francisco - including visits to some of the Bay Area's iconic sightseeing landmarks - before turning around and flying 3,000 miles home.
Lavin's father, Cap, a former USF star, was honored during a special ceremony at halftime as the school recognized the 1949 NIT title team and 1955-56 NCAA championship teams. Cap Lavin played for Hall of Fame USF coaches Pete Newell and Phil Woolpert.
Cole Dickerson grabbed eight rebounds with four on the offensive end for USF. Avry Holmes made three of USF's six first-half 3-pointers as the Dons shot 9 for 15 from long range overall and quickly established the pace.
It was the Dons doing the little extra, like making one more pass. The Red Storm were held to 39.7 percent from the floor, including 3 for 11 from 3-point range.
St. John's began the game 2 for 9 in the opening 5:45 and shot 2 for 6 from beyond the arc in the first half and trailed 38-35 at the break.
St. John's rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit to beat New Jersey Institute of Technology on Saturday, but USF wasn't about to let the Red Storm back in this one.
"We had a very uneven performance from start to finish and we played in a very immature way," Lavin said.
A moment of silence was held before tipoff for former Utah coach Rick Majerus, who died Saturday in Los Angeles.
The game attracted more than a half-dozen NBA scouts at Memorial Gym, where USF improved to 4-0 this season and 45-18 under fifth-year coach Rex Walters.
And the Dons showed plenty of talent even if St. John's was the big attraction.
"We want to be aggressive," Walters said. "We're not going to be a team that walks it up."
This marked the seventh overall meeting between the storied programs. St. John's has won four times, including a 92-77 victory on Dec. 30, 2000, at Madison Square Garden.

Middle-aged men who stayed fit were less likely to die from three common cancers after being diagnosed than those who were out of shape, research found.
In a study of 17,049 men, those with good respiratory and cardiovascular fitness were more likely to survive prostate, lung or colorectal cancer, and avoid developing lung or colorectal cancers. The results were released Wednesday by the American Society of Clinical Oncology in advance of the group's meeting set to begin May 31 in Chicago.
The research is among the first to show the benefit of fitness in cancer prevention and survival, adding to well-known advantages against heart disease, breathing ailments and metabolic conditions such as diabetes, said Susan Lakoski, the study's lead author and the director of Cardiovascular Prevention for Cancer Patients at the Vermont Cancer Center. Lakoski said the study controlled for well-known factors like smoking and obesity.
"It's important to be fit in midlife to avoid the adverse consequences of cancer and dying from cancer," Lakoski said. "It's a very strong relationship."
Lung cancer is the most lethal cancer in the U.S., causing 158,081 deaths in 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Colorectal cancer is the second-biggest killer, with 136,717 people diagnosed and 51,848 deaths. Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men, though less deadly. In 2009, 206,640 men in the U.S. were diagnosed and 28,088 died, according to the CDC.
Just a slight increase in fitness correlated with a 14 percent reduction in dying from the cancers, the study found. The fittest one-fourth of men in the study were also 68 percent less likely to develop lung cancer and 38 percent less likely to get colorectal cancer than the least fit.

Voice featured in CES 2016 gadget roundup
One of Sengled's newest product concepts, Voice, was recently featured in a CES 2016 product roundup by TechCrunch.
One of Sengled's newest product concepts, Voice, was recently featured in a CES 2016 gadget roundup by TechCrunch.
Here's what TechCrunch had to say about Voice:
"It's 9 p.m. and you've finally gotten the kids in bed, leaving just enough time to prepare for tomorrow. You head into your home office and flick on the light, which also happens to be a Bluetooth speaker. The bulb reads out your schedule for the next day, and you realize you're supposed to take a snack to your daughter's class party."
"Sengled broke new ground in the smart light bulb industry by combining a bulb and Bluetooth wireless speaker in the new Sengled Voice. It detects fire alarms and babies' cries and allows you to browse the Internet and check your calendar without needing your phone.
The Sengled Voice functions as a voice-controlled personal assistant, and it takes up far less space than personal home hubs like the Amazon Echo. The MiPow Playbulb is another excellent product, but Sengled pushes the envelope more than most companies. The Voice is the only smart bulb that can act as an assistant, and the company also makes bulbs that work as wireless repeaters.
Whether the Sengled Voice takes off remains to be seen. Mass adoption will depend on the quality of the voice recognition software and whether the price point is accessible. Sengled has the potential to add upgrades to future Voice incarnations, such as a camera that turns the bulb into a baby monitor, which would give it more appeal. But as home automation accelerates, so will these types of devices.
In the same way that smartphones made independent GPS systems redundant, the Sengled Voice and other smart bulbs will eliminate the need for standalone speakers and other devices, potentially redefining the home experience."

On Earth, there are many natural wonders we have yet to fully explore, most of which the ordinary person will never experience. Depths of the ocean beckon, and mass networks of caves lay undiscovered. Yet, perhaps the most fascinating of all frontiers is one we engage with every day: the human brain. This relatively small ball of flesh boasts over 100,000 miles of transport systems, enabling connections between billions of cells that each send out up to 1,000 messages every second via electrical currents. Responsible for our every thought, action, and emotion, the inner-workings of the brain are a puzzle students will love to unravel.
Schools around the world celebrate this unassuming lump of gray matter during Brain Awareness Week, which runs annually from March 12-18th. While one main goal of this international event is to increase awareness of the latest progress in brain research for adults and children alike, there is also a drive to excite kids about the possibilities that exist in this line of work. Whether you're teaching kindergarten or high school physiology, this is the perfect week to inspire young scientists in your classroom.
As with any concept, there are a myriad of ways to delve into learning about the brain in your classroom. While a natural science topic, cross-curricular activities can inspire deeper understanding of the incredible, and often mysterious, functions of the brain. One technique that works for any age is to engage in personification, where students "step into the shoes" of each part of the brain. How does the amygdala earn its living? Who is the neocortex friends with and why? What kind of personality does the frontal lobe have?This activity can extend in many directions, from short, "biographical" essays, to clever poems or comic strips revealing the inner nature of each different part of the brain. Alternately, students can write, perform and videotape a short skit or play involving the new characters they have invented. If you have a 3-D model of a brain handy (or you want to build one), students can write and attach speech bubbles to let each brain section speak for itself. This type of learning not only fosters creativity and critical thinking, it also makes it more likely that students will retain their hard-earned knowledge.
Studies on the brain push steadily forward each year, and researchers are eager to spread the current knowledge to evoke enthusiasm in the next generation. As such, many institutions provide resources geared specifically for the classroom. Lessons are readily available from a wide variety of sources, including research companies, hospitals, and universities. For example, the Society for Neuroscience (http://www.sfn.org) offers up not only a host of free online information and tools to engage K-12 students, but also class sets of books, complete with a CD, to educate your class about the brain. If you prefer a more personal experience, there's even a neuroscientist-teacher partnership program available where experts will come to your classroom either in person or virtually. Googling "Brain Awareness Week" will connect you with scores of further resources, and you can also use the lessons listed below to fuel your neurons' teaching creativity.
Mapping the Brain
Geared toward secondary classes (but certainly adaptable for any grade), this PBS lesson takes students on a virtual 3-D tour of the brain and its functions before asking them to create their own graphic map of the brain. A worksheet, assessments, and detailed procedures are included.Perception and the Brain
Perception and the Brain
Who doesn't love playing tricks on the mind? Using prism glasses, learners engage in a variety of tasks that test their understanding of perception. Extensions include an entire optical illusion website, where students can learn more about ways the brain can be deceived. http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/illusions/index.htm
The Mozart Effect
Get students motivated by incorporating their favorite tunes! Music's effect on memory is measured and graphed as students complete their work. Though the focus in the procedures is on retention of biology concepts, any subject could be substituted.

Happy Birthday Suzanne Somers
Suzanne Somers born Suzanne Marie Mahoney October 16, 1946 in San Bruno, California.
Her acting career kicked in to gear with her playing the blonde in the Thunderbird in the movie "American Graffiti" is a 1973. Four years later in 1977, she got the TV role of the wacky Chrissy Snow on "Three's Company". But the big turning point in Suzanne's career is when she became the spokeswomen for the "Thighmaster". Did you know that Suzanne's "Thighmaster" video helped start the infomercial concept.
Let's flashback to Suzanne and her "Thighmaster".
