By Meghan Foley, North Adams Transcript
WILLIAMSTOWN -- The Selectmen learned just what went into the multiple-year project to dig the town's new well at the board's meeting Monday night.
Water and Sewer Super intendent Ed Rondeau, Public Works Director Timothy Kaiser and Town Manager Peter Fohlin gave a presentation about the history of the project and its importance to sustaining the town's drinking water supply.
Fohlin said the project was prodigious and very costly, but one the town needed.
"You might think that two wells would be enough ... but in our case, it's not safe enough," he said.
During the past few years, only two of the town's three wells have been operable, and he and Kaiser have been on "pins and needles" about the situation.
"If we have two wells and lose one of them, we're in a precarious situation," Fohlin said.
The town can't be operated at normal levels on one well without asking residents to conserve water, he said.
Kaiser said the total cost of the project was $1.12 million, which included project design, the digging of test wells, the preparation of bidding documents, digging the well, and installing the infrastructure for its operation. The cost also covered four tractor-trailer loads of cement grout that were used to plug a leak in the artesian aquifer. The leak, which opened a 6-foot wide by 14-foot deep sinkhole at the site, sprung while the well was being dug in February 2010.
Despite the unexpected expense, the project did stay on budget by means of some "creative thinking," Kaiser said. That thinking included purchasing an U.S. Army surplus generator instead of a market-value generator to provide a backup electrical source for the well, and having water and sewer crews rehabilitate the chlorination building from the old Well No. 1 to be used at the new Well No. 1, he said.
Fohlin said he preferred to call the completion of the well project a celebration. He then brought out a wine bottle with a label on it identifying the contents as the town's tap water. The water was poured into wine glasses for the Selectmen to toast to the new well.
In other business, the Selectmen signed a proclamation declaring Oct. 22 to Oct. 28 as End Polio Now Week. Anne Skinner, president of the Williamstown Rotary Club, brought the proclamation to the Selectmen's attention.
"For some years, there has been a major project of Rotary International to try to eliminate polio everywhere on Earth. We're close, but we're not there yet," she said.
The Selectmen unanimously agreed to have David Rempell, chairman of the Selectmen, sign the proclamation.
The Selectmen also set a public hearing for 7:05 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22, for a request from the Richard A. Ruether American Legion Post 152 for a change in board of directors and an alteration of premises on the club's liquor license.

Graham Lucy In The Sky Watch For Women
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Inside the watch is an automatic mechanical chronograph movement. The bug-eyed chronograph subdial magnifiers remain, but are basically useless as the dials now just have hands with some random placed diamonds. You'd have to be really sharp to use the chronograph with any precision. The watch does look pretty with over 150 diamonds organically placed all over the dial and case. Oddly enough, the watch is still 46mm wide, which would look silly on all but the largest wristed of women. There are plenty of men even who won't wear a 46mm wide watch. The main draw of the timepiece is the aggressive large size with soft decoration making for bold statement of a watch. The Lucy in the Sky collection is available in stainless steel or red gold, with a white or black face. Prices are likely to be between about $10,000 and $20,000.

If you're not tied in to school holiday times to take your annual break, you'd do far worse than to consider taking advantage of low cost winter holidays in the sun. From Spain to Egypt, Morocco to Mexico, the sun shines, the sangria tastes just as good and the cost of accommodation is a far cry from what it will be in the summer months.
One of the most popular destinations for American or Canadian vacationers is Florida during the winter months. New Yorkers, aged over 55 who are usually retired and well-pensioned, look to avoid the freezing temperatures and enjoy a balmy time in around 70 degrees of warmth "Down South". These so-called "Snow birds" are usually better off financially and healthier than indigenous Floridians, mostly white and can book to stay anything from two to five months. It would seem that almost a million temporary residents (or Snowbirds) call Florida their home during the winter months – usually including December and January.
The accommodation is so reasonably priced during this time; it's possible to pay say $5,000 (or £3,335) for say, three months. A fraction of what a hotel would cost and you can fit a family of 8 into a family villa with own private pool and spa. Other reasons why Snowbirds flock to Florida – especially Orlando and the Disney area – is that the theme parks are not so full. It's busy over Christmas in Orlando, but the rest of the time you'll find the Malls, International Drive and the theme parks comfortable to visit. Just imagine – minutes away from attractions, miles away from stress!

Much like Aerosmith I am back...back in the saddle again. (Apologies...a music reference seemed appropriate here as I am currently watching the VMA's on MTV. Btw...who the hell is Frank Ocean? Is he Billy's brother? I don't even know who half these artists are...is Cyndi Lauper not up for any awards? How the hell old am I again? I don't see Milli *or* Vanilli)
My apologies for my short ummm...365 day delay in posting a new blog. In the immortal words of Carl Spackler "I was unavoidably detained".
But now the lethargy is gone, the summer is over, and I am ready for business BECAUSE IT IS...DRUM ROLL PLEASE...FANTASY FOOTBALL SEASON. (and you know that's important, because much like someone on Facebook who felt that finishing 10th grade was more than enough education, I JUST USED ALL CAPS IN THAT SENTENCE)
My Lock Haven University buddies and I formed The "Haven League" back in 1992 (pic of fellow dorks below) which made Wednesday night our 21st birthday! (and just between us girls, our league may have celebrated by knocking down a few too many Fuzzy Navels. Such a refreshing drink. Nothing)
Just to give you a little perspective on how long ago that was, Thurman Thomas was our first overall draft pick, and a rookie kicker by the name of Jason Hanson was just beginning his NFL career with the Lions. Also, the Internet had not yet been created by Al Gore. And we also
couldn't text girls to break up with them, we had to do it - gasp - face to face! (My god it was brutal living in Frontier times)
As you all know from 8th grade Social Studies, Fantasy FB is by far the most popular and rapidly growing game in the history of the Free world, and not a day goes by that I fail to give thanks to our Forefathers for bringing the rules of the game over from England in the Nina, the Pinta, and the Edmund Fitzgerald, the last of which sadly failed to reach shore. (Editors note: apparently Andy also felt that 10th grade was "just about enough" education as well. Everyone knows the Greeks invented FFB)
So to further honor THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Sorry for the political fervor...I just switched the channel to the Democratic National Convention. Let's hope I don't mistakenly switch over to "Honey Boo Boo". Banjos scare me) here now is the 3rd annual "Fantasy Football Extravaganza". A series of predictions designed to help you win your leagues FFB title, and - more importantly - fuel my complete delusion that I am one of the best FFB players in the country who happens to work at a TV station and have access to a blog that my bosses don't remotely care about because it keeps me preoccupied when I see shiny things.
So without further adieu:
*5 Studs that scare me, plus a few to grow on:
1. Drew Brees: "Scares me" is a relative term here. I just think he has to come down from that record '11 season, and all the bad voodoo (No pun intended) around that team from "Bounty-Gate" scares me as well.
2. Maurice Jones-Drew: As ESPN's Matthew Berry constantly points out, baaaaaad things tend to happen to running backs who hold out. Thank god I didn't select him. Oh wait...
3. Roddy White: See below
4. Eli Manning: I'm cheating a little, because I am writing this after the Wednesday night opener, but bad things also tend to happen to Defending Super Bowl Champions.
5. Cam Newton: His passing numbers dipped precipitously in the last 7 games of '11. And the chances of him reaching double digits in rushing TD's again are slim.
6. Peyton Manning: Anytime I hear the words "neck" and "fusion" in the same sentence...
7. Mike Vick: anyone know if he tends to get injured?
8. Darren McFadden: see above. But if he ever plays even 13-14 games, look out
*5 Guys who are about to go "Next Level":
1. Julio Jones: You can have Roddy, I wanted Julio BADLY. Instead, Megatron Jr. (as I have already dubbed him) was excruciatingly taken one pick ahead of me. (If you are in N.C. and see my buddy Sparky out at a bar, feel free to kneecap him. But do it in the groin)
2. Eric Decker: 80/9/1,200 is my prediction for Manning's new favorite target.
3. Matt Ryan: The Falcons are supposedly opening things up. Matty Ice was terrific in final 8 last year, and outstanding in Preseason. Did I mention I like Julio Jones?
4. Torrey Smith: You can't teach speed. Which is too bad because I would be soooooooo fast. (No I wouldn't. Me was not good at spelin' and learnin' which is WHY I TYPE WITH THE CAPS ON...O.K. I think I have made my point)
5. Antonio Brown: The Steelers gave him - and not Mike Wallace - that huge contract extension for a reason.
*5 Studs who are headed for a statistical dip:
1. Wes Welker: Take my Antonio Brown logic and reverse it. Plus, Brady has a lot of mouths to feed, and a stupid hot wife. Wait...what were we talking about?
2. Michael Turner: Every...single...writer on the Internet claims this will be the case, and I love me a good bandwagon.
3. Marshawn Lynch: I can't tell you why, other than my gut tells me he way overperformed his talent level last year. And he tends to do stupid things and get arrested.
4. A.J. Green: I think A.J. gets some serious extra attention in 2012
5. Steve Smith: Age and a still raw QB bring Smith back to earth
*5 women I would totally hang out and eat Wings and watch FB with if they like totally called me or something:
1. Kate Beckinsale: I have been on board since "The Last Days of Disco", but the new "Total Recall" sealed the deal.
2. Emmy Rossum: "Shameless" may be the absolute best show that you don't watch
3. Olivia Munn: Have you seen "The Newsroom?" Or ummm...the first few minutes of "Magic Mike" (Not that uhh...I have seen that movie. For women. Because I have not)
4. Melissa McCarthy: What? I like to have a good time when I watch FB and eat Wings
5. Maria Menounous: I interviewed her at Super Bowl Media Day. I may now have a small crush. (P.S. Anyone know how far 500 feet is? No reason)
(P.P.S. I just spent an embarrassing amount of time debating in my head about whether or not I would actually choose Kate Beckinsale over Emmy Rossum. As if they sat on both sides of me in Homeroom or something. How crazy is that? I mean...everyone knows Kate Beckinsale would have been in a totally different Homeroom)
*5 Mid-Late Round players I targeted and totally failed to acquire:
1. Antonio Brown and T. Smith: Enough said earlier...
2. Andrew Luck: You can have RGIII. Luck is the real deal. If Cam can throw for 4,000 yards as a Rookie then Andrew Luck certainly can as well
3. Doug Martin: I have not joined the other Internet bandwagon proclaiming him a future star, but I would have grabbed him had he fallen.
4. Brandon LaFell: Yes, I did voice some doubts about Cam. But late round picks are about huge upside.
5. Ryan Williams: If I had a superduper "sleeper" (not that they really exist in the Internet age) it would have been this guy
Bonus: Titus Young: I really wanted a piece of the Lions offense. Wait...is Jason Hanson still alive?
*5 Guys who probably fell way too far in your draft:
1. Miles Austin: 13 TD's a couple years ago. If his hammy cooperates...
2. Kenny Britt: Got off with just a 1 game suspension for his DUI. Has scored 12 TD's in his last 11 games.
3. Tony Romo: Dez, Miles, and Witten all got hurt in camp, and Romo slid waaaaay too far down the chimney
4. DeSean Jackson: Such a huge upside, but health - his and Vick's - scared everyone away
5. Reggie Wayne: Could be a very good #3 WR in a large league
*5 Guys I didn't know what the heck to make of and totally avoided:
1. Adrian Peterson: He's young, he's a physical freak, but man he tore that ACL *late* last season, and he plays on Turf. You take him
2. Trent Richardson: Persistent knee issues at such a young age scared me off
3. DeMarco Murray: I am a 'Boys fan, but he has such a small sample size of success and - RECURRING THEME ALERT - a poor injury history. (Which is why I took the - ahem - always healthy Ryan Matthews instead. Don't ask, I'm not even sure what happened)
4. Percy Harvin: either I am dumb or about to become a genius, but I had Harvin 12-20 spots lower on my lists than every so called expert in the country.
5. Malcolm Floyd and Robert Meachem: I struggled to figure out which one will be "the guy" for Rivers and couldn't. And judging by the 8 sites I read, everyone else did too.
*5 things I hate about Fantasy Football (which admittedly is like finding flaws with Kate Beckinsale. Or Emmy Rossum. Damnit!)
1. PPR leagues: I mean...a catch for zero yards equals a point? A catch for 1 yard equals a point too?!? A catch in the 4th quarter for 8 yards on the final play of the game when your team is losing by 21 is ALSO a point?! You understand how dumb that is, right? You have heard about yardage and TD bonuses, haven't you?!?)
2. 2 QB leagues. From the many sites and mags I read, this trend appears to be growing, to which I say...why exactly? Did I miss something? Do NFL teams actually start *2* QB's in a game? (Minus the Jets of course. Giggle.) Isn't FFB supposed to emulate "real" FB?
3. Guys who brag about the leagues they supposedly dominate (along with their girlfriend no one has ever seen because she lives up in the "Niagara Falls area")
4. Guys who act all superior and snooty when they find out my league only has 8 members. I'm sorry...didn't I mention there was no Internet back in 1992 to tell us how dumb we were? We knew we needed at least 8, so we got 8. And besides...how many of you guys in 12-16 team leagues have been playing with ALL the same guys for more than say...3-4 years in a row? Yeah...that's what I thought (Apologies, it is now 1:41 am. I am so exhausted and cranky I may actually see if "Honey Boo Boo" is on anywhere)
5. Keeper leagues. I hate this more than PPR, and that is saying something. The fun and excitement of the draft is centered around the incredible amount of strategy involved, and the fact that no one knows what the hell is gonna happen. And that would be incredibly diminished by having the Top 16-32 players in the league off the board before the draft even starts. Tell me why exactly you like this?! I mean...even bad teams have 2 good guys to protect. Start fresh every year. It's exciting to have new players.
Alright...Big money, no Whammy's, let's wrap this puppy up. Here are 15 random comments about guys I wanted to mention but didn't:
1. Jordy Nelson: He won't score 15 again, but 12 would not shock me at all.
2. Larry Fitzgerald: It pains me to see him play with inept QB's. But if he had 1,400 yards last year, he can certainly do it again.
3. Andre Johnson: I have him, and I am every bit as afraid as a Darren McFadden owner is.
4. Rashad Jennings: A must have MJD handcuff, and/or a late round stash in large roster leagues.
5. Ben Tate: See above. Big Ben is Top 5 if Arian goes bye-bye.
6. Demaryius Thomas and Denarius Moore. Try and get them both if you can. Because what could be more fun than screaming "Demaryius" when the Broncos have the ball, and "Denarius" when the Raid-uhs have it?!? (That joke got one of our best laughs at the draft. I am not sure what that says about us, but hey, we only have 8 guys)
7. Vernon Davis: He scored 13 TD's a few years ago, and Alex Smith appears not to be umm...terrible anymore. I took him and I am pumped about it.
8. Steven Jackson: I think the old guy has at least one more 1,200 and 9 season in him.
9. Jahvid Best: once the concussions become more frequent, it's over. It was over for Aikman and Young, and it is for Jahvid. And it's a crying shame because he could have been a devastating weapon in that offense.
10. Coby Fleener caught 34 balls last year in College. With Andrew Luck as his QB. He is suddenly gonna be an amazing pro now?!
11. If I had another superduper sleeper, it would be Jared Cook.
12. Stick a fork in Beanie Wells.
13. If Dez Bryant was in a league that awarded points for 1st half production only, he would be little Calvin Johnson. Has anyone else noticed he does NOTHING in the 2nd halves of games?
14. If the number for Matt Stafford is 4,800 and 38 TD's, I am taking the over because...
15. ...Calvin Johnson is Randy Moss 2.0. Say it me with me everybody...MEGATRON.
Hope you enjoyed my opus. I didn't put this much effort into my High School work, which is probably why I tapped out in 10th grade. I wish you the best this season. Unless you are in a PPR/Keeper league, in which case I hope you drafted Coby Fleener. Feel free to return fire on my WWMT Facebook page or at @andypepper7 on Twitter

Both AMD and NVIDIA have introduced elaborate graphics cards power consumption limitation systems with their latest high-end accelerators. While both systems are working on fundamentally different levels at this time, and it seems that nothing is set in stone yet, it looks like both companies are actively looking into ways to reduce the power consumption of their products in scenarios that do not perfectly fit their agenda. What do you think about the introduction of these features?
Voted, it would be nice to have these features but as panther said, we need full control so we can turn it off if we want
aslong it gives me full performance when enabled and when it does not interfere with oc'ing i don't care
No I wouldn't want my card to be limited to 300W or whatever they choose. I'm no expert but I've never understood why TDP needed to be limited either way - like why did AMD use the same gpu's for the 5970 as for the 5870 but underclock them to limit the TDP? I'm guessing they want to be pro-environment or whatever but then please don't limit TDP but let us choose. After all, someone running a mega-pc on solar panels/wind turbines is doing more of a favour to the environment than those running much weaker cards on conventional power systems.
I voted "No, I know what I'm doing". I don't care about the increased TDP. As long as it doesn't fry my system, I'm happy.
I voted, yes as long as I have the control. It'd be nice to know that if I'm concerned about the load on the PSU or general power usage, I can control it. EDIT: ROTFL, noone thinks they know what's good for us!
I tihnk you need an explanation of why it's implemented before you can say whether this is a good thing or not. rebellion against "rules" isn't always the best option.
I started to vote as long as it stays out of my games, and realized I would not know unless I have full control..... so 1 more vote on the full control.
I see no problem with this if it does not impact on my use of the card. I rarely bench for the sake of it and due to high ambient temperatures, rarely OC GPU either.
I imagine it's simply to keep the card within powerspec, whilst still giving the end user the option to run it out of spec ( loads of 480 owners do this lol )
As long as it does not effect overclocking and will never kick in while overclocked with extra voltage in game i don't see much of a problem but the fact it only kicks in during stress testing programs is kind of annoying but i must admit i always use ATI tool to find artifacts as it always catches them before things life furmark and kombustor for me. The only possible problem i can see is if a card is put under water and pushed to the max safe voltage with a massive overclock if it could be possible to reach the power limit although i assume it would only kick in when using hard volt modding and subzero cooling methods.
I think it's OK in principle if there's control by the user, but feel that it will lead to them cutting corners and putting cheaper powercircuitry on the PCB and thus destroy OC'ing and I'm not OK with that. Unless they don't act that way or the power parts are cheap enough for them to not care too much to save in that area, and don't start designing too much with that thought in mind and reducing the actual GPU and cause a slip in competition. So it depends on the circumstances and secondary behavior and part prices.
I hope they can read the results of this poll. and yeah.. I want full control of it. Dont care about the throttling
I have to agree - I understand the reasons for this throttling - otherwise massive failures! http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1004378/why-nvidia-chips-defective But without such a "band-aid" the manufacturers must engineer more robust hardware. If they can make it cheap - they will. If we do not stand our ground - and make them learn how to cool it down on BOTH sides of the GPU - and/or even INSIDE the GPU - then they will do nothing! THERE IS NO FUTURE!!! Just look at the crap these companies are doing with FURMARK!!! http://www.techpowerup.com/69799/ATI-Deliberately-Retards-Catalyst-for-FurMark.html?cp=3 http://www.legionhardware.com/articles_pages/ati_radeon_hd_5970_overclocking_problems,2.html jtleon
This would've done well as a multi-choice poll. I could imagine someone picking all of these. No, I know what I'm doing No, this is just to fudge data in reviews I'm afraid it will interfere with overclocking I for one am extremely annoyed by the overclocking aspect, and in general how others seems so dismissive of how large a problem this is. If you can't stress test, you can't have confidence in your overclocks... so you shouldn't even bother overclocking. And no, playing every game for hours till you get a failure is not a practical solution. This has been a long time coming too. There hasn't been a be all end all stress testing program for graphics cards in years. I had a 260 pass OCCT, hours of crysis but crash consistently on hour 5-6 of ut3 gameplay until put back on stock. Now add in power throttling nuking the few stress testing options left, cheaper vrms making cards weaker for overclocking... in a few years they might as well bios lock all clock speeds. We should be in a uproar about it as an enthusiast community, pleading to the more skillful programmers amongst us to make a modern stress testing app.

Atrial Fibrillation A to Z: Options for Care
Start Date
Seminar available for anyone interested in learning more about the latest management and treatment options for atrial fibrillation
Join cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Manak Sood, and cardiologist Dr. Timothy Shinn from Michigan Heart & Vascular Institute and Saint Joseph Mercy Health System (SJMHS) as they discuss the latest management and treatment options for atrial fibrillation.
The free Atrial Fibrillation Seminar will take place Saturday, April 21 from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the Johnson Center located on the campus of Cleary University: 3725 Cleary Drive in Howell.
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is estimated to affect more than two million Americans and is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm in the elderly. If left untreated, A-fib can lead to stroke and congestive heart failure. While treatment options in the past have been limited to medication and invasive surgery, doctors at St. Joe's have teamed up to offer a unique, minimally invasive surgical approach, called the Wolf-Mini-Maze, to potentially cure A-fib.
Topics discussed at the seminar include general information about A-fib, discussion of treatment options, stroke prevention, obstructive sleep apnea, and an extensive question and answer session
Light breakfast and refreshments will be served; space is limited and registration is required. The conference will run approximately five hours. To register, please call 800-231-2211 or visit mhvi.org

Save the date! - November 1 for Project Safeguard! 8:30 am - 2:30 pm.
News from the classrooms:
This month in Language Arts, the focus has been on reading strategies. As a class, we are reading the novel Stargirl, which examines the choice between following the crowd and displaying your true personality. This theme is one that many seventh graders struggle with, and we have had many enlightening conversations about the behavior described in the book. Also, students are identifying literary strategies such as character development, author's purpose, foreshadowing, developing the plot and many others. We have recently kicked off a project based on Stargirl, which will result in a mock school board meeting. Please visit my website (http://rjh7la.weebly.com) for a description of that project and an outline of the other work we are doing regarding our reading.
At the beginning of the year, we work a great deal on the organization of their writing, and using textual evidence to develop their ideas into a cohesive, professional writing sample. Students will always be required to plan out their writing before they actually begin, as this will further develop the ability to order and explain their ideas. Finally, this week students will be assigned a longer writing response based on their novel they are reading at home. A link to this work is also available on my website under the "Homework" section.
Social studies classes have finished our look at the topic of culture; what it is and how we can use it to compare the way people live. In our current unit, students are studying the development of the first civilizations of the Fertile Crescent located in today's modern Iraq. We are examining how human society changed as a result of the development of agriculture. After a look at life in early Mesopotamia, the classes will be starting a group project on the major river civilization of the Bronze Age. Each group will be required to put together a slideshow based on one of the textbook chapters 4-8 and then present the show to teach the rest of the students about their civilizations.
Reminder: SS pts for the first half of Trimester #1 are due on Tuesday Oct 15th.
Students have finished Chapter 1 on The Real Number System and did an overall great job on the Chapter 1 test! All tests have been returned to students, please ask your child to show you his/her Chapter 1 test. If a student received a grade lower than a 75%, that assignment can be corrected with help if needed, signed by a parent, and returned to me within two weeks of receiving the assignment. Upon completion the student will be given an opportunity to reassess. Students have started Chapter 2 on Rational Number Operations. Throughout this chapter students will be adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers, fractions, and decimals. A Family Letter and Activity was sent home at the beginning of Chapter 2. There are several Hands-On Activities throughout the chapter that students will work on together in groups. NECAP testing began last week and continued into this week. Less homework was assigned during NECAP testing. Now that testing is over, we will return to our normal class schedules and assign more practice for home.
Science - The students have researched an astronomer and created a trading card with interesting facts. The cards will be displayed at Harvest Fest on Oct. 23rd. Before NECAP testing we took a walk along the road to investigate the planets. We used one scale for size and distance. If the Sun is the size of a beachball, where are all the planets and how big would they be? The planet walk starts outside our school at the sign on Washington Road. The first 4 planets are on near the school grounds, but the gas giants are beyond on Wallis Road. The names have been painted on the road (with permission) according to scale. If you have some free time, walk the solar system!

Social Studies classes kicked off the year with an examination of the different disciplines of the Social Sciences and how they are used to understand a given time period or civilization. We've now moved on to a look at concept of culture and how we use it to make comparisons about the way a given group of people lived. At the same time, the students are reviewing some of the basic geographic terms and concepts beginning with a look at relative and exact location.
Science classes have started the year with a few investigations that deal with observations. We followed up by examining how our eyes work. We have incorporated some technology standards too! You can view their work here on their own blog. Click on the assignment on the left hand side of the navigation window. We will also tweet out from time to time. If you don't use twitter you can still follow along at http://twitter.com/7thscience.
Students started 7th grade math sharing information about themselves as math learners by completing a "Mathography." Within the first week students persevered through challenging problems. This year the program we are piloting across all grade levels is the Singapore based Math in Focus series. Over the last two weeks students have been working on Chapter 1 The Real Number System. By the end of Chapter 1 students will understand that real numbers are represented as points on an infinite line and are used to count, measure, estimate, or approximate quantities. MATHCOUNTS has begun! Students meet Mondays after school from 3:00PM-3:30PM. MATHCOUNTS is an after school club that provides enrichment and challenge to any interested 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student! In February, there will be a local competition at the University of New Hampshire.
In Language Arts, students have started the year by reviewing the necessary parts of a paragraph. In order to track student progress, all students completed a short writing exercise that will be assessed by all teachers on the seventh grade team. This process ensures that students are displaying best writing practice in all areas. Students are now reading an article about dress codes in schools - a hot topic!- and discussing the importance of word choice, audience and organization in writing. They are using the article to discover the meaning of unknown words, answer comprehension questions, and write longer constructed responses. In the end, students are looking forward to a debate on the importance of dress codes. Should be interesting . . .

7th Grade News - April, 2013
Math In 7th grade Math, students have been focusing on operations with rational numbers as it applies to meeting the 7.NS.A.2c Common Core Standard. A Brain Pop video introduced students to the terminology needed to discuss whether a number is rational or not. They are responsible for the following "I can" statements as part of this unit. "I can convert fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions." "I can multiply and divide multi-digit numbers that have decimals." "I can estimate the answers of such problems using powers of 10." They practiced a written response using a standards based rubric. A STEM career video was presented to give them insight into why learning mathematics is important and what careers are in high demand due to the explosion of technology. Homework groups have been implemented as a means of encouraging students to work collaboratively. Social Studies Social Studies classes are almost finished up their unit on the Middle Ages. When we return from April vacation we will be kicking off a major project about the European Renaissance. In the project, students will research a famous person and then participate in a mock TV show; where they will become that person. Each show begins with the students giving a short biography of their person's life. The 2nd half of the show involves them answering questions about the major ideas, events, and inventions of the Renaissance and how they might have affected the person they are portraying. This year Ms. Gilbert (LA) will be helping the student's to prepare their opening monologues and Eric Lawson (Tech Guru) will be helping to improve the technical side of filming the TV show. Science We concluded our Severe Weather Unit with a graded discussion. This was a new experience for the students which addressed speaking and listening standards from the Common Core State Standards. Small groups of students prepared notes individually about a severe weather element and gathered to discuss them as the rest of the class listened. We highlighted the dangers and safety procedures. Does your family have an emergency plan in place? We are currently working with chemistry concepts. The students created a unique book about matter that has pages that open up, rather than turn. We are using indicators to determine acids, bases and neutral liquids all the while learning safe practices in the science room. The students will have a lab packet and a unique piece of artwork to conclude the unit. We are still counting roadkill in Rye and New Castle! In May, we will begin to interpret the data. High roadkill numbers of an animal indicate a high population and vice versa. Our data is also used by other organizations. We have been doing this project over 20 years. We have lots of data! ***Earth Day is April 22th! Unfortunately, we will be on vacation, therefore, we will recognize the day on Friday, April 19th. We are planning to webcast throughout the day. Each class will be 'on air' during the morning beginning at 8:15 am EDT. We will share live and recorded content from our school and guests. You can join us by going to http://earthbridges.net/live. There will also be a chat room available to say hi, add a comment or ask a question. I'm sure the students would love to have an authentic audience from the seacoast! Please foward the URL to relatives and friends. Language Arts Students are finishing up their novels set in the Middle Ages, and have been working diligently on the various book projects they have created to outline connections from their novel to the instruction in social studies. Projects are varied to appeal to different learning styles, and students had the opportunity to create their own project. Lastly, students posted to Edmodo, a web based sharing tool where we compared characters, setting and themes of our novel. Students were motivated to read others posts, and made thoughtful, insightful connections through comments on others' posts. Narrative writing will be the focus of the third trimester, and currently students are enthusiastically writing a memoir. Dialogue and figurative language will be used to enhance the description and development of the plot of the memoir. Looking forward, students will become amatuer bards as they delve into a unit on poetry. Students will be exposed to talent from Shakespeare to our current national poet laureate, Natasha Trethewey. Later on, skills learned to develop character and enhance writing will be used to craft a monologue on a Renaissance personality.

In math, students have just completed Module 3. They are now learning about the Metric System. The will learn how to convert within the Metric System and use benchmarks to estimate lengths. They continue to follow the Stock Market and watched the market reach it all time and continue to rise. Each student has created a spreadsheet to calculate the gains and losses in their own electronic portfolio.
Social Studies classes are currently wrapping up their Roman unit. The final project will be to research Gladiatorial combat and to create a fictionalized journal to show what they have learned about the topic. In addition, students have begun taking a series of quizzes on the physical geography of the Europe. Using student created maps, they are responsible for knowing the names and locations of the important physical features of the continent. The students will next be looking at the effects of the Fall of Rome and the period known as the "Dark Ages." Topics will include Feudalism, the Reformation & Counter Reformation, the Crusades and the Black Death.
In science, the students have learned to predict nor'easters by examining the path of the low pressure system on a map! The weather has been cooperating with us this year with storm after storm! We are beginning to research various elements of severe weather and will conclude with a graded discussion next week. This will be a first for most students. I hope to record the discussions and play them for our Earth Day webcast next month.
The science and language arts classes have teamed up. We are currently reading about the flash flood around Johnstown, PA in the late 1800's. The students are learning that the waters are filled with debris that makes survival difficult during and after the event. They are also analyzing primary source documents (survivor accounts and photographs) about the flood.
In LA, students have finished their "book clubs" and will be presenting commercials to advertise their books next week. Their thoughtful discussions and insight into the themes of the novels were impressive. We will be working on memoirs next, and adding figurative language to our writing in order to add detail. Also, in order to connect to the social studies curriculum, students will be reading a novel that takes place during the Middle Ages. Parents, please look for a reading calendar that will outline assigned reading. Also, my website is up and running, please check for useful links and weekly homework.
The 7th grade recently traveled to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center. We had a special showing in the planetarium that related to our science curriculum. Afterwards, we toured the rest of the exhibits.

In 7th grade math, students have started Module 3 in their textbook. The theme of the module is Math, a universal language. Students will review number theory topics, addition and subtraction with fractions and decimals, and scientific notation. Student continue to follow the stock market and are using the spreadsheets that they created to keep track of gains and losses. This month in Language Arts, seventh grade students chose one of four novels for our study of literary techniques. Classes have grouped into four book clubs, and will complete a series of tasks based around their novel. Each novel is centered around the theme of empathy, and book clubs will be exploring that theme as they work with literary techniques such as character development through actions and dialogue, author's purpose and use of figurative language. Each novel draws the reader in with a conflict that seems insurmountable, but the character's determination and inner fortitude pushes them to persevere. Discussions in book clubs thus far have been lively and purposeful. Writing tasks will also be based on the novel, as we continue to work on organization in writing, and varying sentence length through construction of compound and complex sentences. Seventh grade science classes are learning how high and low pressure areas create our global winds and affect our weather. Perfect timing with this past blizzard! We are also gathering photos of the snowy event to send to students in Belize. Students have also created Science Valentines. This activity combines science, art, language arts and critical thinking. Valentines incorporate the science content from this year into those "corny" sayings. The students had to be able to explain the science in terms of "love" by analyzing the concept and interpreting it for a new context. I also limited the color choices to red, white and black to challenge more creativity into their design. 7th Grade Field Trip – McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center on February 15, 2013!

Librarians – the Facebook experts?
Posted by: Chrissie Turkington on: June 9, 2010
Strange title I know but has it got you thinking? Facebook is now a massive social influence on young persons lives. They keep in touch via it, arrange to meet via it and also play games via it. I'm sure they would instruct it to make the tea if it could! But, worryingly there are more and more stories appearing in the national press daily concerning cyberbullying – some of which takes place on Facebook.
So, a lot of colleges have taken the opportunity to ban Facebook and heavily filter a lot of sites that could cause these issues. Surely that's the answer to stopping it from happening? Not really. Think about it… the majority of learners now have unfiltered access to the internet on a multitude of devices. They can surf the web on their phones, their Wii, their DSi, their PSP, and don't forget, their home computer. So why have colleges decided that the answer to stopping Cyberbullying is to block everything potentially dangerous on their computer networks? Cyberbullying won't happen then will it? Of course it will, you're just moving the problem – how blinkered. From doing this what's been created is a culture where learners will not know how to react if it happens to them which effectively is like pushing it under the carpet.
So this is where librarians come in. Librarians have always been information specialists and have been offering Information Skills training to all learners (and staff) for years. So, using the arguments above, surely the best way forward to address the issue of cyberbullying is "education and not prevention". Seems to me that the obvious answer is for the librarians to become the experts on how to use social networking sites safely and introduce the concepts in their existing training opportunities. So, getting back to the title, let's start with Facebook.
Recently Facebook have updated their privacy settings (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10167143.stm) and, although still a little difficult to set up, there's a lot that can now be done to protect Facebook users – but without someone on hand to help, how will learners who use Facebook ever know.
I've changed the privacy settings and effectively split my Facebook account into two – work colleagues get to see work information and personal friends see the rest. People I don't know can't see much about me. Try and find me on Facebook and see. If I know you, I'll add you as an appropriate friend.
The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) have an extremely thought-provoking video that anyone who registers for their Thinkyouknow training (http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/) gets access to which shows a young girl advertising all her personal information via a billboard in her front garden for everyone to see. Effectively this is what a lot of Facebook users are doing – worrying isn't it.
So, librarians. Take up the challenge. Learn about what can be done on Facebook and start getting to know it and how you can help your learners stay safe online. Start offering training on how to use Facebook effectively. Go on the CEOP Thinkyouknow training to give you some ideas (http://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/teachers/training.aspx).
Educate the learner and don't just hide the issue under the carpet! It's not going to help…

My computer died before a single pixel died.Pros: The quality of this monitor is really high. I bought mine almost three years ago and it still works just as well as when I got it. I still don't have any dead pixels, it is still as luminous as day one, and it is sturdy. Cons: I don't have any cons. I spent less than $150 for a monitor and I like what I received. Monitor speakers are usually awful so I didn't want one with those. Plus it says there are no speakers so how could not having speakers be a con? Also I didn't spend $350 so I don't expect IPS monitor quality. Getting a monitor with this quality at the < $150 price point is not a con. Other Thoughts: I think most of the people who nitpick about things are ignorant. They wanted a monitor with a specific quality and don't read before they buy only to complain as if it is the company's fault. They try to use features on a < $150 monitor instead of using those same features on their > $500 computer and complain about the quality? That is baffling to me. They talk about wanting to spend as little money as possible but then are disappointed in the product because it isn't as good as a monitor they used once somewhere that is actually twice as expensive. Basically, know what you need, what you are willing to spend, what you can get for what you spend, and then read about the product to see if it fills your needs. If you aren't willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for a high end monitor like me then don't be so upset when you buy a monitor and it doesn't perform like a high end monitor. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Great MonitorPros: Great resolution, looks very nice. Cons: 0 Did you find this review helpful? |
Good moniterPros: Great monitor, it works great. Cons: The stand isn't very steady and my desk isn't exactly not wobbly so I may hit the desk when sitting down or standing up occasionally and the monitor will wobble and I get scared that its going to topple over. If this had a better stand on it I would give it 5 eggs and not 4. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good monitorPros: High resolution, very bright, and quality picture. Cons: Difficult to adjust the picture to what I wanted compared to more expensive or even older monitors. Backlight bleeding on the edges creates a halo. Other Thoughts: My desktop background is solid black so the backlight bleeding is very noticeable but not an issue when watching movies or playing games. Was purchased for 129.99, I would not have felt as good about this monitor at its full 179.99 price tag. Did you find this review helpful? |

The answer to this question is not easy, but here are five things that may help:
Prayer is one of the best ways to listen for God's call. As you sit in silence...in God's presence...is your heart stirred? Do you feel the Holy Spirit tugging at your "insides?" Are thoughts of serving God's people as a religious person present?
God reveals his plan for us through the special people that he puts in our lives. What are other people saying to you? If only one person has told you that you may make a good priest or brother—that is significant. If many people have told you the same thing, is God speaking to you through them? Is He trying to make His will known to you in this way?
What are your strengths? What do you do well? Look at the needs of the Church. Are your skills and talents in line with the needs of the Universal Church? With that of a missionary congregation?
Find a well-qualified spiritual director. It could be a priest, Brother, Sister, deacon or lay person. But find someone who can help you explore God's presence in your life.
Formation is for men who have a general feeling that God is calling them to religious life. Formation helps you to grow and to understand your vocation better—formation allows you to see your vocation more clearly. Formation can help you to better understand where God is calling you to serve.
If you answered "yes" to most of these questions, perhaps God is calling you to a religious vocation.

Battery/Generator Warning message
For information on warning messages on the multi-function display:
Possible causes
The engine cooling does not function if the drive belt is torn.
Check Engine (Emission Control) Faults are indicated by the warning light on the instrument panel which then either lights up continuously or flashes. The faults are recorded in the control unit's fault memory. The warning light on the instrument panel lights up when the ignition is switched on as a lamp check and goes out approx. 1 second after the engine starts. The warning light on the instrument panel flashes to indicate operating states (e.g. engine misfiring) which may cause damage to certain parts of the emission control system.
In order to avoid consequential damage to the engine or the exhaust-gas cleaning system (e.g. catalytic converter):
If the warning light on the instrument panel continues flashing even when you have eased off the accelerator pedal, the emission control system may overheat.
Acoustic Signals The warning message "Fault sound output instrument cluster – ParkAssist" will appear on the multi-function display in the instrument panel if a speaker fault occurs. The speaker cannot generate acoustic signals.

Should the Violence Against Women Act Be Reauthorized? >
It's Congress's Duty to Support Violence Against Women Act
Congress has a duty to support the Violence Against Women Act
March 19, 2012
The Violence Against Women Act should be reauthorized as soon as possible. The issues that the act confronts, including domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking, are serious problems that benefit from this legislative effort to lessen their occurrence and help women to feel safer.
As a man, it's easier to forget about the intense and constant fear that many women have regarding abuse, because many of us aren't subject to that sort of treatment. Our comparative ignorance of this violence is regularly reaffirmed by religious and political extremists who claim that women bring assault onto themselves by the way they dress and how they act. Such misinformation is offensive and serves only to castigate victims and excuse their assailants. That's why it is so important that we take steps to reduce incidents of assault and raise public awareness through educational programs. As human beings and fellow Americans we must recognize that women have a right to be protected from gender based violence, regardless of our own gender.
[Read: Dems Put GOP in Political Box Over Women's Issues]
The original passage of the Violence Against Women Act and its subsequent reauthorizations meant that our government formally acknowledged that domestic and sexual violence exists on a wide scale and causes tremendous harm to those involved. Such recognition is crucial to empowering victims of violence and absolutely essential to stopping future incidents from happening.
Congress has a duty to support bills like the Violence Against Women Act which protect our fellow citizens from violent aggressors and build supportive communities to assist those that have already been attacked. If we fail to come together on this issue our mothers, sisters, daughters, nieces, grandmothers, and granddaughters will be exposed to preventable terror and cruelty. No human being deserves that fate.

Beginning in 2010, JPMorgan Chase donated technology, time and resources valued at $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation, including 1,000 new patrol car laptops. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple.
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sent CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon a note expressing "profound gratitude" for the company's donation.
"These officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe," Dimon said. "We're incredibly proud to help them build this program and let them know how much we value their hard work."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jenn
"Creamy, cheesy, yummmmy dip. Use a potato peeler to get the onion very thin. Serve with your favorite cracker."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups thinly sliced Vidalia sweet onion
hot sauce, or to taste
I have made this dip many times and it is always a winner. I chop the onions instead of slicing and they cook just fine. No crunchies. Also, if you use reduced fat mayo, it cuts down on the grease nicely.
Delish! I used asiago cheese instead of parmesan, and I caramelized the onions first. Also you really have to drain the oil off otherwise it will be too greasy.

I must say that it was lot better than I thought it would be. My friends loved i. made few changes. I diced onions, I used pepper jack cheese and used half mayo half sour cream. and some grated garlic. it turned out to be the bomb, on girl friend want me to make on saturday just to have keeper. don't get me wrong it was very good the way it was. I being a chef always have to personalize everything. sorry.
Wow and Wow!! Here are changes I made with other raters suggestions: 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream....substituted parmesan for asiago...2 "pressed" garlic cloves....ground pepper to taste and 2 pinches of herbs de providence. Awesomeness! Not greasy - great with toasted pita chips! New go to dip.
This Dip is excellent!! The only change I made is, I sauteed the onions before making it, I did not want to have the crunch of the onion. I put it out at a work function, was gone in less than an hour!
I have to admit, I could not use Vidalia for this recipe as winter is the completely wrong time to be able to find them. However, I did use yellow onions that I sauteed just a bit first to bring out their sweetness and then proceeded with the recipe as stated. Love this stuff - wayyyy too addicting and I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Next time I may follow another reviewer's suggestion and use lower fat mayo to cut down on the oiliness a bit, but it may have been due to a tad bit of overbaking as well. Still, wonderful, wonderful stuff. Thanks Jenn!
goodl I did use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour creme. I diced the onions. Some one asked me at the party if this was a hashbrown casserole!! did kind of taste like it
I sliced the onions and then cut them into quarters. I can see topping slices of toasted baguette with this as well as spreading on crackers. Really good and easy recipe with nice presentation.

Damon James Edward Howard, 36, of Milwaukee has been charged with two counts of felony reckless endangerment for allegedly driving an SUV into two pedestrians outside a West Allis bar Saturday.
Howard was charged with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and three counts of striking an occupied or attended vehicle after he allegedly struck two people with a Ford Explorer outside Danny's Lounge, near 60th and Burnham streets, about 2 a.m. Saturday, West Allis Deputy Chief Charles Padgett said in a news release Thursday. Howard also is accused of striking a vehicle turning north onto 60th Street.
Two people were taken to Aurora West Allis and Froedtert hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, Padgett said.
Police arrested a second man in connection with the hit and run; however, no charges have been filed.
Shots were reportedly fired at the fleeing SUV, and one man was arrested and a firearm was confiscated. Padgett said the investigation regarding the shooting is still under way. Shots were fired from the area of the 6100 block of West Burnham Street.

someone knows how to avoid the situation where tanks have their guns destroyed prematurely and which are totally useless. I tried to increase the armor gun in the c++, but nothing changed. The tanks have their guns destroyed even before the tracks etc. I would want situations where the tanks have their engine or their tracks destroyed before the gun.
this is for the T-Roc tanks pack, the vehicles are really nice, but after one shot, the tanks are totally useless; sad

DIY Times Square Ball (pinata)
The kids and I paper mached two oversized punching balloons back in the summer for birthday piñatas. We ended up not using them for the birthday party…so they have been hanging around in our basement for months (waiting for a coat of paint, glitter, attention…). I happened to glance over at them yesterday and had a thought… New Year's Eve Ball!!! Woo Hooo!
We went to town today. Here's how we made it:
Step One
Paper Mache a punching balloon (ours is about the size of a beach ball…actually, if you have a beach ball laying around that will work too). Tie string around balloon and hang to dry. You can speed up the drying process with a hair dryer.
Step Two
Cover dried paper mache ball with aluminum foil. We layered the foil to shape it and for sturdiness.
Step Three
We decided to stick with a metallic look so we painted some cardboard (recycled cereal/cracker boxes) with a coat of white paint. Once the paint dried, we traced our star cookie cutter and cut stars out of the cardboard. Next, we mod podged the stars and sprinkled some left over glitter snow on them to add some bling. Gotta bling in the New Year, right? ;)
Step Four
While the glitter snow dried on the stars, we reinforced the aluminum foil layers with some hot glue.
Step Five
Add the stars using hot glue.
Taaa daaaaaahhh!
So it might look a little like a middle school space project (don't judge), but that is the fun of it...and it is the start of a new tradition in our house. I already sketched up some ideas for next year. Go ahead, give it a try...you'll have a ball! :)
*BONUS: You can turn this into an INCREDIBLY COOL pull string piñata by doing this:
1. Cut a trap door flap on the bottom of ball.
2. Punch holes and attach pull strings (for # of people participating)
3. Fill ball with confetti (you can just cut tissue paper/paper)
4. Close flap and secure with a layer of foil.
5. TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR,THREE, TWO, ONE… (pull strings…confetti falls) HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! YAY!

Dothan city officials are urging you to be "Through with Chew."
This week's proclamation by Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz serves as a call to the community to try and reduce the number of deaths from tobacco use through awareness.
Using smokeless tobacco is a trend more popular in Alabama's schools than the national average. Judy Guiler, with the Wiregrass Tobacco Free Coalition said, "Twenty percent of high school students are chewing tobacco, where as the national average is 12.5 percent."
Green ribbons were passed out Tuesday at the city commission meeting to honor the memory of those who died from a tobacco addiction.
