Convergence insufficiency occurs when your eyes don't turn inward properly while you're focusing on a nearby object. When you read or look at a close object, your eyes should converge — turn inward together to focus — so that they provide binocular vision and you see a single image. But if you have convergence insufficiency, you won't be able to move your eyes inward to focus normally.
Convergence insufficiency is usually diagnosed in school-age children and adolescents. Convergence insufficiency can cause difficulty with reading, which may make parents or teachers suspect that the child has a learning disability, instead of an eye disorder. Treatments are usually effective for convergence insufficiency.
Not everyone with convergence insufficiency experiences symptoms. Signs and symptoms occur while you're reading or doing other close work and may include:
If you or your child experiences symptoms of convergence insufficiency or has problems reading, consult an eye care professional, such as an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. A technician called an orthoptist may assist the eye care professional in evaluating and treating convergence insufficiency.
Convergence insufficiency results from misalignment of the eyes when focusing on nearby objects. The exact cause isn't known, but the misalignment involves the muscles that move the eye. Typically, one eye drifts outward when you're focusing on a word or object at close range.
Difficulties with reading and concentrating can adversely affect a child's learning. Convergence insufficiency typically isn't detected in routine eye exams or school-based vision screenings. A child with the condition may be evaluated for learning disabilities because of his or her reading troubles.
People with convergence insufficiency may have otherwise normal or "20-20" vision, and the condition may not be detected during a routine eye exam. To diagnose convergence insufficiency, your eye doctor may do the following, including special eye-focusing tests:
If convergence insufficiency isn't causing symptoms, you generally don't need treatment. But for people with symptoms, treatment with eye-focusing exercises can increase the eyes' convergence ability. Treatment may take place in the office of a trained therapist or at your home. Treatments may include:
A study sponsored by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health compared home-based treatment with doctor office-based treatment for convergence insufficiency in children ages 9 to 17. Study results showed that the most effective therapy was a weekly hourlong session of in-office vision therapy with at-home reinforcement exercises. Other studies have also found that office-based treatment is effective about 75 percent of the time.
Home-based treatment with pencil pushups or computer programs hasn't been shown to be as effective — in some studies, it works only about one-third of the time. But home treatment costs less and is more convenient. Only a small percentage of eye care providers offer in-office therapy for convergence insufficiency. Many people who can't find or can't afford in-office therapy opt for home-based treatment.
If you choose home treatment, many experts recommend using computer software programs along with pencil pushups. The combined approach may be more effective, and the computer therapy is more engaging for children.
Treatment for convergence insufficiency may take three months or longer, though you'll likely start to see improvement in your symptoms after four weeks. After your convergence ability has improved, you can help maintain your improved vision by continuing to read and do other near tasks. Treatment can permanently cure convergence insufficiency, but symptoms may come back after an illness, lack of sleep or when you're doing a lot of reading or other close work. In rare cases, eye-focusing exercises don't work and your doctor may recommend surgery.

Valenciennes v Stade de Reims: Preview
Reaction has been the buzz word at the Stade Nungesser II this week, with Valenciennes keen to put right the wrongs of their loss to St Etienne last weekend.
While losing 1-0 to Les Verts caused little shame - Christophe Galtier's men are serious title challengers - it left coach Daniel Sanchez unhappy.
His side are still sixth in the table and could have been higher but for a couple of a results, and Sanchez is hoping that the visit of Reims can help get them back on the winning trail.
``I expect that we will react after our defeat in St Etienne,'' he told his club`s official website.
``The last two matches, we only had a point. This is not satisfactory for our numbers in the table. We must at all costs win again and take three points to stay at the top of the table.
``We lost to St Etienne, but what you need is to know how to react. We talked about it this week.
``When we face Reims, we must take three points to keep moving. Our opponent is in the second part of the table, but it will not be an easy game either.''
Sanchez is right to point out Reims' position. Last year`s promoted side have suffered of late after a bright start, failing to win any of their last six matches.
According to coach Hubert Fournier, though, talk of a crisis is way off the mark.
``This is a slump, but they come in a season,'' he said.
``For a promoted team, it is almost normal for this to happen to us. But our goal has not changed, and that is for us to be ahead of three teams at the end of the season.
``We are taking the shock of the bad form, but will adapt.''

When the best basketball player in the League stepped on the court this past Tuesday night for the season opener, it marked LeBron James' tenth year as a pro athlete, and his third with the Miami Heat.
On that same day in 2003, the media circus that marked James' first night on the largest stage in the world for basketball was unprecedented. Over 100 cameras and media reps boxed each other out on the floor for a chance to see the most anticipated rookie in recent history step on the court. The television networks even delayed the tipoff in order to move the feed from another game.
Skeptics had bashed James for the unending hype and astronomical endorsement deals received before ever playing a minute in a regular season game. A subpar preseason performance by the 6'8'' phenom helped support these premature claims. What no one could have expected, with every basketball outlet, fan and critic in the world watching, was that he would rack up 25 points, nine rebounds, six assists and four steals. The King had arrived.
The controversy surrounding James' 2010 departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers in order to join the Miami Heat fueled career doubters. Despite League MVP awards, franchise scoring records and even Defensive Player of the Year consideration, James was overshadowed by his lack of a title in those first seven seasons.
When the time came to announce his strategic move to South Florida, the hatred was high for this player who was simultaneously raising $2.5 million charity dollars for the Boys and Girls Club of America during the press conference. Disgruntled analysts and jealous fanbases rallied around lambasting a guy who had won Olympic Gold and amazed spectators with his ability to carry a subpar Cavaliers team to their first playoff appearance in almost a decade. A 48 point Game 5 performance against the Pistons in the 2006 playoffs took Cleveland to the Finals, and is considered one of the best postseason performance in history. Despite leading in scoring averages, achieving a record number of triple doubles and thriving as an unanswerable defensive weapon, the proper pieces needed to win a title were never put in place by Cleveland's management.
James' sign-and-trade six-year contract with the Heat was the first time a reigning MVP had changed teams since Moses Malone in 1982. In order to join his draft classmates Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on the Heat roster, he elected to accept considerably less than the maximum salary. Despite the sacrifices taken to unite some of the best in the game, the "Big Three" saw growing pains in their first season, and ultimately fell to a stout Dallas Mavericks squad in a six game Finals series. In the offseason James channeled critical scorn and personal defeat into personal improvement under the guidance of NBA great Hakeem Olajuwon. The result was his return to League MVP status, and his first championship the following year. James would lead the team to a second title this past year, once again stunning fans with his postseason performances, and maintaining his Most Valuable Player title.
A look deeper into the success of LeBron James and his role with the Heat shows him not only dominating his current era, but also competing with the likes of Michael Jordan for the highest player-efficiency rating in history. With Jordan at 27.91 and LeBron at 27.65, the 0.26 marginal difference is countered by the former player's six titles with the legendary Bulls. What everyone wants to know is whether the 29 year old James can utilize the back end of his prime in order to tie or surpass the best player to ever touch a basketball.
If last year is any indication, the Heat have everything they needed to make another run. They ended last year's regular season with a League best 66 wins, despite numerous injuries, and even managed to rack up a 27 game winning streak. They turned it on in the postseason, and James' 37 point performance in Game 7 of the Finals stood alongside his 25.9 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.6 assists playoff stats.
One of the few teams on the list of potential challengers for the Heat are the Chicago Bulls. Now armed with their star player Derrick Rose, who missed the entire previous season due to an ACL knee injury, the Bulls entered game one of the regular season with an 8-0 preseason record and an matchup with rivals the Heat. During Tuesday night's game, Miami pulled away effortlessly in the first half with a 54-33 point outcome. James lead his team with nine points, five rebounds and three assists. The Heat would lead by as much as 25 points, and he would end the game with 17 points eight assists and six rebounds in their statement win.
The past and present performance of his supporting cast members Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Chris Anderson, Udonis Haslem, Shane Battier and Norris Cole only stack the deck taller. When defensive schemes target James, his teammates have evolved to a balanced metagame that allows for them to thrive. That, along with James' ability to literally guard at every position on defense, an invaluable facet of his game often overlooked, and comfortably work with co-stars Wade and Bosh in transition, makes this deep Heat squad the most exciting in the NBA's last three season. This year is potentially their best yet, and makes the Miami Heat the obvious team to beat.

As I drive thru our streets in Miami-Dade I often wonder about the possibility of getting into an accident. And the thought comes into mind, "how would my family know" if I get into an accident. I have seen many accidents over the years, where people have died on the scene, and their families didn't even know about it. This happens mostly because police have no information regarding a contact. Many years ago, while riding with a police officer in Hialeah, we arrived on the scene of a motorcycle accident, where a youth was killed on the scene, and all I could think of was his mother: How do we find her? How do we tell her that her son is dead in the middle of Red Road?. My heart was so heavy with pain, and I was so frustrated that we couldn't do anything right away.
Over the years there have been several programs such as the ICE (In Case of Emergency) where you can place in your cell phone a phone number of your son or daughter or spouse using the initials ICE next to the name you want them to contact. I also place that information on the inside of my visor or in the glove compartment. I also have suggested to parents to place a contact number in the back of their child's car seat.
Well, the state of Florida has a program that was sent to me by a reader who thought I should share with my readers. This program is through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and can be found at www.flhsmv.gov, where you can enter your emergency contact information by entering your driver license or identification card. The system allows Floridians to voluntarily provide emergency contact online, giving law-enforcement immediate access to this information and making it easier for them to speak with someone quicker in cases of emergency.
Here are some frequently asked questions provided by DHSMV that will help you decide if you want to do this:
• Who will have access to my information?
Only law enforcement personnel will have access to your emergency contact information.
• Where is this information stored?
The information is stored in the Driver and Vehicle Information Database system which is a secured database used by most law-enforcement agencies in the state of Florida.
• Will my contact information be used for any other purpose?
No, this information will only be used by law-enforcement officers to notify designated contacts if a motorist is seriously injured or killed in a traffic crash.
If your child takes a school bus, be sure they have parent contact information inside their backpack, not on the outside where strangers have access.
I want to thank the reader that suggested this information and as always I love hearing from you with your concerns and ideas.
In closing, let me remind you that today we change our clocks forward, and it's also time to change the batteries in our smoke alarms!

Vampire 1012 of 11
While a mythological vampire takes a victim's blood in order to remain immortal, an emotional vampire feeds off you mentally, emotionally or financially, says Wanis. The goal of both is the same: to take for their benefit, even if the process ends up harming someone else. You might recognize some of the common emotional vampire types: drama queens, narcissists, control freaks and people who constantly play the victim.
Spotting A Sucker3 of 11
There are only two types of relationships, says Wanis: symbiotic (when two people mutually benefit each other) and parasitic (when one person feeds off the other). "We can equate an emotional vampire to a parasite," he says. "When we're around one, we'll feel sleepy or drained. Ask yourself, 'Does he or she care about me aside from what I can do for them?'" If the answer is no, then you're dealing with an emotional vampire.
Why Me?4 of 11
If you're already plagued by low self-esteem, then an emotional vampire is more apt to make you their prey, says Wanis. "And the worse you feel about yourself, the easier it is to fall victim." But in some cases, he says, vampires can allure us by appearing exciting. "Drama queens and narcissists in particular tend to have larger-than-life personalities," he says. "Before you know it, we get sucked into their webs."
How To Deal5 of 11
"Sometimes, even when we are aware of them, we don't know how to break free from the bites of vampires," says Wanis. And in certain cases, we can't. If you have emotional vampires for family members, then you may be obligated to spend time with them, particularly around the holidays. While you probably can't change their ways, he advises adopting the following tactics to manage your interaction.
Distance Yourself6 of 11
When trapped in conversation with a vampire, Wanis says to maintain your composure by reminding yourself that, no matter how hurtful or hysterical the person gets, you're not responsible for his or her behavior. "Separate yourself mentally and emotionally by saying internally, 'I understand that the way others respond to me is about them,'" he says.
Keep Your Calm7 of 11
"When you hold tension in your body, you respond with tension," says Wanis. Breathing deeply allows you to release that tension and make mental space to "remind yourself that an emotional vampire's whole intention is to get a reaction." He advises taking their power by not giving them what they want from you.
Play Pretend8 of 11
Imagine that you're dealing with a 5-year-old, suggests Wanis. "Vampires are limited in their emotional awareness and by their negative emotions," he says, noting that they may not know how to break through the issues that make them they way they are. When you pretend that you're dealing with a child, you'll have more patience, he says, and you'll also be firmer.
Fight Back9 of 11
At some point, you will need to confront the vampire. "You can say, 'If you want to continue to have a relationship with me, then I need you to speak to me another way,' or, 'I know I've done some things wrong in the past, but if you continue to criticize me, then I will end our relationship,'" says Wanis. He also warns against socially isolating yourself. "Don't give the vampire all your time, energy or heart. Build new, healthy relationships. "
Don't Be A Victim10 of 11
"We teach other people how to treat us by the way we allow them to treat us," says Wanis. "When you state your boundaries, you'll feel better about yourself." For example, if you tell a needy friend that you will no longer answer her late-night phone calls—and stick to it—she will learn not to call you after the time you designate. "The better you feel about yourself, the better you'll make sure other people treat you," says Wanis. "You won't be a victim of an emotional vampire for very long."
Do You Suck?11 of 11
"If your primary behavior in your relationships is playing the role of the victim, the drama queen or the criticizer, then you're the emotional vampire," says Wanis. But don't fear if you fit the profile. "All of us have the ability to gain awareness," he says, suggesting you change your behavior by practicing its opposite. "If you're a criticizer, you likely grew up with a critical parent and also criticize yourself," he says. Start praising instead of putting people down.

Raleigh >Food & Dining > The Borough
317 West Morgan St Ste 117, Raleigh, NC | Directions 2760335.779770 -78.643984
Neighborhoods: Central
Cool place but thank God for upcoming smoke ban! – The Borough should be the poster child for why NC needed the smoking ban. I still wonder why the owners didn't voluntarily go smoke-free from the beginning... were they brain-dead or just stuck in the 50s?? But thankfully, after January 2, 2010, I can start going back to this otherwise great bar and enjoy their fantastic drinks and food!
Best Bar In Raleigh! – The Borough is probably my favorite place in Raleigh. The bar is inviting and the food is delicious (although I'm sad that they got rid of the Vizzini, which was my favorite). Their drinks menu features kitschy drinks with out-there ingredients, and I've never met a person who hated the PomBR--but they also have an extensive beer and wine list. I've never had a bad experience here.
Wonderful Downtown Urban Pub – The Borough is a wonderful downtown urban pub. If "Cheers" could come to Raleigh then The Borough would be it. Always welcoming and inviting, the staff, was voted the best bar staff in Wake County by The Independent Weekly. The prices are really modest for this location for both food and drink. The Brute is a mouth watering hamburger which is marinated prior to grilling and served with crispy onions on a delicious bun. I love the "Dizzy's Bent Trumpet" which is a salad prepared with pears and pistachio nuts.
mixed review – plus: cheese sandwich, the Smattering appetizer, roast beef au jus.. all the food is great, can't go wrong probably with anything on food or drink menu.
minus: smoke--- thankfully that won't be an issue as of jan 2/2009 . we'll get to gleefully watch the smokers freeze their a**es off as we sit comfortably inside, thanks to NC's new anti-smoking bill.
minus: service.. there have been lightly-attended weeknights where I swear either we're sitting in a table that nobody realizes belongs to 'their' section, or we've done something to horribly upset one or more servers as everyone on staff blithely flits, desperate to not make eye contact with us
Funky and Fun, but Smoke-Filled – The Borough has a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere, and the clientele is a cross-section of eclectic Raleigh's hippest and funkiest . The small menu is surprisingly varied with several delicious vegetarian entrees.
I'd like to patronize the Borough more; however, each time I have been there the place has been FULL of cigarette smoke. I find it an odd juxtaposition that a place with such a healthy menu is not smoke free - particular for a small restaurant of this size. The size of the restaurant pretty much dictates that if anyone is smoking, everyone is second-hand smoking. After my visit last night, I had to strip down at the door, toss my smoke-saturated clothes in the wash, and take a shower to get rid of the smoke smell that permeated my clothes and hair.
Great food & fun staff! – This is my new favorite hangout! They have a great menu that they serve all night - it is really reasonably priced & they have a good amount of vegetarian options - homemade veggieburger, vegetarian soup, grilled cheese & tomato sandwich (with the tomato bisque is awesome!), but my meat-eating friends are always happy with what they find too! And I?ve never had to wait to be seated. I?ve always found the staff fun and attentive (even when it?s busy). They have a full bar & PBR on tap for $2. I love hanging out there for dinner after work or a drink late at night.
A "Cheers" finally in Raleigh – I have decided that I need to tell people in Raleigh about special finds. This, The Borough, is one of those special finds. The establishment now on its second year has proven its sustainability. As a matter of fact, finally after ten years of living in Raleigh, I have found a neighborhood bar where you can trust the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere. I feel safe and always welcome here. Consistency is a trademark for Liz, the bar?s owner. She is very good at ensuring there is always a new beer on tap, or the consistency of her staff and their product. I know exactly what I am going to get when I order it, and most of the time, the staff can even anticipate my order by suggesting the new hoppy beer added to the drink list. It is a fun neighborhood bar, where the staff is very aware of Raleigh happenings and tries to ensure their constituents are happily attended to. Just as Farther and Son has become a downtown Raleigh retail staple, The Borough is in it?s genesis of being tapped the Raleigh downtown eatery and neighborhood bar.
Cool Atmosphere; All Around Good. – The Borough has that all around cool atmosphere that makes it perfect for an after-work drink, happy hour with friends, quick dinner, or late night hang-out on the weekends. The aesthetic is trendy yet warm and inviting. The food is solidly tasty. And, the wait staff is reliably great. I'm sure the staff has an occasional off night, but every time I've been there I've been impressed. The owner and her staff will often shout a greeting as you walk in the door, giving it an intimate quality that makes it an excellent candidate for your new "regular", neighborhood bar.
The Borough is Great; The bartenders, well... – I was reading reviews of downtown restaurants, I love the Borough but I know what you mean about the bartenders, I saw Shmitty chase down a customer one night, she literally ran down the street after them. I would have been so angry I would have thought about suing them. The customer had paid the other person at the bar. While I sat at the bar, they're so busy talking back and forth with people they don't know all of what's going on and it shows.
Still, the Borough is great. The bartenders just need to be organized and act with class
I like it but there's always a problem every time I go. – I'm 36. I do look young but not under 21 young. Liz at The Borough does. She honestly thinks I have a fake ID. I would think after so many visits (I'm there at least every other week) she would finally know me. Last Sunday I was there with a friend, 10 years younger. He didn't get carded- I got quizzed. She also knows a lot of people I know. This past Sunday she pulled and tugged at the plastic. It's honestly getting frustrating; this last time I went I literally was embarrassed because of it. She could be more tactful. Instead I had other people sitting at the bar joking about it. It's a shame because it's a great place, the food is good and the atmosphere is great. I like The Borough but I'm going to have to think hard about going again since I'm tired of the inquisition and the lack of tact.

Yes, the sand and clay will wear away at the pump over time so maybe the wet end will wear out before the motor does. If the pump is as old as the house, its motor may already be on borrowed time depending on factors unknown to us. As the wet end of the pump wears, it will gradually produce fewer GPM and less pressure. I would budget for a replacement soon.
With a low producing well, if the well bore is used as storage and the level pumped down considerably, it can exert significant pressure differential between the aquifer and the inside of the casing. If you use less water, the level should draw down less with less pressure differential drawing in as much sediment at least in theory. A large pressure tank represents a significant load on the well as the pump runs full-out from the point it kicks in up to the point that the tank fill to kick-out. That means that despite using less water, the pump can still draw down the level considerably on each cycle depending on the size of the bore hole.
One approach to consider is a smaller tank combined with a Cycle Stop Valve. The CSV will meter the flow from the pump and stop the feast-or-famine cycle of the large tank.
Another approach is to slowly pump into a large non-pressurized tank and then have a second pump draw from the tank. Of course this is a significant undertaking.

Be afraid: Chris Vognar's 5 Halloween horror movie picks
From Chris Vognar: I've never really associated horror movies with Halloween, probably for the same reasons I don't associate love stories with Valentine's Day. I know a cash cow holiday when I see one, and every day can be frightening. But Halloween can't be all bad if it gives me a chance to wax scary on five of my favorite horror movies. Herewith, a quintet of classic chillers, some canonized, some more obscure, that still make my blood crawl.

Last night I went to the Forward Prize party at Somerset House in London, to see John Burnside win Best Collection for Black Cat Bone (Cape) and Rachael Boast the Best First Collection for Sidereal (Picador). No one could quite agree how to pronounce that one: Cider-real? Sigh-DEAR-re-ul? Sidder-real? So I asked Boast. Then promptly forgot what she'd told me. However you say it, it's an excellent collection. I had a brief conversation with the waifish poet in her stylish hat, trying to explain what appealed to me about her work. 'Yes, a lot of people like the poems about lying around on hillsides, drinking,' she observed.
One of the judges, Lady Antonia Fraser, was hunting round the room for Andrew Wyeth, author of a poem (it's in the Forward Book of Poetry 2012) entitled 'Pinter's Pause'. I'm not sure she ever found him, but she did track down Leeds poet John Whale, whose collection Waterloo Teeth (Carcanet), shortlisted for best debut, had a poem about Marie Antoinette. I loved this book, clever and cultured and steeped in the era of the Romantics, with pieces about Mary Wollstonecraft and Tom Paine, and the grisly title poem: 'we fell upon the rain-soaked bodies of the dead /… From the rosy cheeks of English plough-boys / we pulled two hundred sets of perfect teeth.'
Then it was off for a grand dinner under the painted eyes of Horatio Nelson, to celebrate two decades of the Forward Prizes. The supremely generous and dedicated founder William Sieghart recollected that an early 'best collection' winner was Thom Gunn with The Man With Night Sweats, a rapid poetic response to Aids that bore out Sieghart's contention that poetry tackles issues more quickly than other art forms. My seat was marked 'Don Paterson OBE' (he'd had to go), which tickled me. Andrew Motion, chair of the judges, whose speech was read in absentia, remarked on the poetry scene's internecine warfare this year. Judith Palmer and Fiona Sampson of the imploding Poetry Society seemed to be grimly avoiding one another. Let's hope it's all calming down now.
I recently reviewed five new anthologies for the Independent on Sunday, including the Forward Prize volumes (including Poems of the Decade), two from Salt Publishing, The Salt Book of Younger Poets and The Best British Poetry 2011, and Michael Hulse and Simon Rae's massive undertaking, The 20th Century in Poetry, 800 pages and over 400 poems.
One major theme of the Hulse/Rae volume is war. It was experienced at first hand by the poets of WWI but as the century marches on, there's a significant cultural shift with great implications for poetry. 'John Forbes,' they say, 'observes the Gulf War of 1991 from the perspective most of us now share, that of the television viewer.' Forbes's 'Love Poem' is a rather subtle and clever piece; however, this phrase sent me into flashback mode. At the Independent on Sunday, I regularly used to get poems from readers, usually with an urgent note to say that as they were topical, could I ensure they got into the very next issue? One writer took compliance so for granted that he added testily: 'I expect to be paid your normal rate.' With a sinking heart, I would read the poems. They were usually from 'the perspective most of us now share'.
A paraphrase might go something like this:
I am in my kitchen, kneading dough, thinking how good it will taste when baked, and how much my family enjoy eating my home-made bread. I cover it and leave it to rise and start watching the one o'clock news.
Oh no! I see scenes of carnage in a market somewhere in the middle east! Terrorists have blown up lots of women who were queueing for … bread. That's ironic, isn't it? I feel quite sad about my bread now. Why should I bother baking it (writing poems) in a world where that happens? What's the point of it all? I really feel very depressed.
And then I think – I WILL bake bread (write poems) after all. I will bake it in defiance of the terrorists. I will bake it for all the women who can't bake bread (or write poems), all over the world. I will do it in solidarity with them. Slice by slice, the world will become a slightly better place. My family really are going to enjoy this lovely home-baked bread…
My little paraphrase sounds mocking – actually some of these poems were rather good. They were just eerily unoriginal, and their authors were sublimely unaware of it. Perhaps it's because poetry's antennae operate so sensitively that they can pick up virtually the same vibration in several different places at once. I wonder whether these strange little news-item poems are still being written? After all, it's what the Poet Laureate's for…

Summer Students Internships:
The NLSI offers annual Summer Internships to gifted high school and college students. This is an opportunity to work with scientists and engineers in any of our national teams. The Internship is typically during the summer and lasts for 10 weeks. The students are offered fellowships up to $5K and an opportunity of a lifetime.
The NLSI partnered with the Maryland Space Grant consortium to double the number of our summer internships.
If you are interested, contact our director of Education and Public Outreach for further information.
Journey through the Universe:
The NASA Lunar Science Institute is partnering with the Journey through the Universe team for an annual two-week EPO program.
The NLSI's involvement in classrooms, public venues, and teacher professional development extends into the communities throughout the country with the help of the "Journey through the Universe" program.
Journey through the Universe is a national science education initiative that engages entire communities—students, teachers, families, and the public—using education in the Earth and space sciences and space exploration to inspire and educate. Journey through the Universe is a program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, which facilitates Journey events in ten communities across the country.
This Journey program typically runs in February-March and it includes an astronomer workshop, a teacher workshop, and a master teacher training session.
Through audience participation, the family science events provide a family learning experience in exciting human space flight, Earth and space science subjects that are connected to the curriculum.
K-12 Education Modules training is provided during the educator workshops. These Modules include content overviews; inquiry-based, hands-on activities; assessment rubrics and resource listings.
The heart of the program is a full week in which 48 astronomy educators (lunar scientists, astronomers and observatory engineers) are sent into classrooms to explain to over 8,000 K-12 students how they are exploring the universe. Classroom visits by these astronomy educators are designed to provide students with standards-based science content, allow students to personally interact with scientists and engineers, and inspire students to further their education in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
NLSI's participation in Hawaii's Journey through the Universe program provides students and the public with a new understanding of recent, current, and future NASA lunar exploration. It also introduces them lunar-related educational resources available to classrooms and families. The NLSI team leverages the Journey experience to engage the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, the Imiloa Astronomy Center, and Astronaut Ellison S. Onizuka Space Center with NLSI lunar E/PO programs including International Observe the Moon Night and Exploration Uplink. It also provides an opportunity to recruit University of Hawaii students and local amateur astronomers to join NASA's Lunar Meteoroid Impact Observation Program and participate in lunar research that will support the science of NASA's upcoming Lunar Atmosphere and dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission.
The NLSI team leverages the Journey experience to engage the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems, the Imiloa Astronomy Center, and Astronaut Ellison S. Onizuka Space Center in participating in NLSI lunar E/PO programs including International Observe the Moon Night and Exploration Uplink. It also provided an opportunity to successfully recruit University of Hawaii students and local amateur astronomers to join NASA's Lunar Meteoroid Impact Observation Program in which they will be able to participate in lunar research that will support the science of NASA's upcoming Lunar Atmosphere and dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission.
High School Lunar Research Projects
The Center for Lunar Origin and Evolution (CLOE) and the Center for Lunar Science and Exploration (CLSE) teams are collaborating on Summer Science Program.
Teams of high school students from across the nation are engaged in the process of science while supporting NLSI researchers in their quest to understand our Moon and prepare for future human exploration. At the end of their research experience, student teams present their research to a panel of lunar scientists. The top four projects are showcased at the Lunar Science Forum held at NASA Ames Research Center. The best of the top four attend the NLSI forum and present their work in person.
Sally Ride Festivals:
With a minimum of 2 festivals each year, the Sally Ride Festivals offer Lunar science workshops for middle school girls with hands-on science, exhibits, key not speakers, and 1 weekend day at a college campus and/or NASA Center (eg. Cal-Tech, NASA Ames, MIT, CofC, ASU, etc). These festivals include a 90-minute lunar science workshop for attending teachers and informal science leaders.
Summer Camps:
"Scientific and Exploration Potential of the Lunar Poles" team at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) hosts a summer camp for 6th and 7th graders.
APL hosts the annual Maryland Summer Center for Space Science (sponsored by the Maryland State Department of Education), teaching 6th- and 7th-graders about space science and missions.
The APL Space Department's E/PO office will ensure that the NLSI and lunar pole science are a major focus of the 2-week experience.
The students interact directly with NLSI team members. The goal is to attract and retain these students in STEM disciplines
The "Unknown Moon" Space Academy
The "Unknown Moon" will be the focus of a "Space Academy" educational event hosted by APL. The Space Academy series was created by the APL E/PO office and is co-sponsored by Comcast Cable, the Discovery Networks, and APL. The Space Academy gives middle school students a close-up look at NASA's missions and enables them to meet the scientists and engineers who work on them.
In preparation for their visit to APL, students study the mission and space related careers through classroom activities and videos developed by the Discovery Networks and APL.
During their visit, they participate in press conferences with mission panelists, moderated by an APL public relations representative. Student "reporters" ask panelists questions as if they were at an official NASA press conference.
They also engage in post-visit follow-up activities tied to educational standards for lunar science as well as their own experiences during Space Academy.
Lunar Extreme Program:
NLSI's Dynamic Response of the Environment At the Moon (DREAM) team is educating high school students and teachers about its science goals in order to prepare them for participation and interaction with DREAM scientists at a Lunar Extreme Workshop (LEW). Each week, teacher/student teams are provided with resources and activities pertaining to DREAM's science goals. Students are encouraged to read and study the resources on their own and then to meet with their teacher and other team members at least once a week for teacher-led activities that reinforce concepts from their reading. Teams have the flexibility to meet after school or whenever and where ever they wish. At least once or twice per month, students have the opportunity to meet and hear from DREAM scientists, who put the student's new understanding in context. During the workshops, teams will interact with DREAM scientists, observe the process of science in action, and learn more about NASA careers and opportunities. The direct interaction with scientists, both prior to and at a LEW, will hopefully inspire these students to enter the science, engineering, or NASA workforce.

David Geffen Donates $100 Million to UCLA for Medical Student Scholarship Fund
Entertainment executive and philanthropist David Geffen has established an unprecedented $100 million scholarship fund that will cover the entire cost of education for the very best medical students attending the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (DGSOM). The school was named in his honor after his $200 million unrestricted gift in 2002. With this recent gift, Geffen's total philanthropic support to UCLA exceeds $300 million, making him the largest individual donor to UCLA and to any single UC campus.
The David Geffen Medical Scholarship Fund, conceived by Geffen and announced today by Dr. A. Eugene Washington, vice chancellor for health sciences and dean of the medical school, ensures that DGSOM will have students who graduate from medical school debt-free, allowing them to pursue lifesaving research and patient care without the economic burdens that restrict the choices of many young physicians and scientists.
"The cost of a world-class medical education should not deter our future innovators, doctors and scientists from the path they hope to pursue," Geffen said. "We need the students at this world-class institution to be driven by determination and the desire to do their best work and not by the fear of crushing debt. I hope in doing this that others will be inspired to do the same."
"With this game-changing gift, Mr. Geffen has invested in the medical education and training of some of the world's brightest and most talented young people, influencing medical research and patient care for generations to come," said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block. "We are inspired by his vision and grateful for his generosity, which places UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine at the forefront in the competitive marketplace for top medical school applicants and enhances health care and biomedical research for generations."
"Once again, David Geffen has made a transformative gift — in this case, one that shifts how we think about support for our medical students," Washington said. "The David Geffen Medical Scholarship Fund is an extraordinary investment in a public institution that will enhance UCLA's ability to create world leaders in health and science. Recipients of this prestigious award will proudly carry the David Geffen Medical Scholar designation with them throughout their careers as they create an enduring legacy of excellence and impact in 21st-century patient care, medical education and research."
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), 86 percent of medical school graduates had educational debt in 2012 — with an average debt of $170,000. Studies have shown that debt has a significant impact on what field medical school graduates pursue and where they develop their professional careers. Reducing that debt burden promises to allow talented students to make career decisions based on where their passions lie.
The annual cost of tuition, fees and health insurance for a UCLA medical student in 2012–13 is approximately $38,000. When factoring in room and board, books and supplies, and other miscellaneous costs, the total tab is $67,000. With these costs continuing to rise, the projected four-year cost for students entering the school in 2013–14 is more than $300,000.
The $100 million David Geffen Medical Scholarship Fund will provide four-year financial support — covering 100 percent of tuition, room and board, books and supplies, and other expenses — for up to 33 M.D. students (representing 20 percent of the available spots), starting with the entering class of 2013–14. Included in this group will be those students pursuing an eight-year M.D.–Ph.D. educational track as part of UCLA's renowned Medical Scientist Training Program. All the David Geffen Medical Scholarships will be awarded based on merit.
Assistance for such students is designed to draw more outstanding young people to the medical profession. The AAMC estimates that the nation will face a shortage of more than 90,000 physicians by 2020. Adding to the urgency is the aging U.S. population — approximately 10,000 people a day will turn 65 for the next two decades — and the estimated 32 million people who will be added to the ranks of the insured in 2014 as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the federal health care law signed in 2010.

Great Barnett Quad 400 Crossbow
Every hunter and competition shooter knows that vibration from a poorly designed bow is a major concern. You know just how frustrating it can be to have that buck in your sights, only to be spooked by noise created by your bow. Maybe you haven't given much thought to reducing the noise and vibration that your bow makes, simply because you didn't know there were other options. The good news is that there are answers to dealing with vibration in your bow and the answer is the purchase one of the many Barnett bows that come with the anti-vibration isolator system.
In early January 2008, Barnett introduced this revolutionary anti-vibration system to the public. Essentially what this system did is take already well equipped bows and make them even better. Using a specially designed soft-touch material, each limb was covered so that when the shot is fired off, this material absorbs all the vibration and shock which in turn also reduces the noise. What ends up happening is that the user gets a nice clean shot, with little noise and vibration, but at lightning fast speeds. This really is a bow that lets you have your cake and eat it too and no other bow claims to do so much.
If you're shopping solely on the basis of price then you by all means, choose another bow, but know that you won't be getting the best there is in anti-vibration technology until you try one. The Anti-Vibration Isolator system, or AVI as it's called is the most advanced that there is. Whether you choose the Barnett Quad AVI, the Barnett Revolution AVI or the Barnett Predator AVI, each is equipped with this groundbreaking technology that will do nothing but improve your shots and ensure that your hunts are successful.

CASA of Maryland was founded in 1985 by representatives of various congregations, both Central Americans and native-born U.S. citizens. CASA was created in response to the human needs of the thousands of Central Americans arriving to the D.C. area after fleeing wars and civil strife in their countries of origin. In the basement of the Takoma Park Presbyterian Church , CASA provided emergency clothing, food, immigration assistance, and English instruction to new immigrant arrivals from Central America. CASA started with a staff of 2, a handful of volunteer teachers, and funds from various congregations.
As the community grew in numbers and its needs grew in complexity, CASA so expanded its programs. In 1991, in response to growing numbers of day laborers congregating on street corners looking for work in the Long Branch neighborhood of Silver Spring, with the support of Montgomery College and private foundations, CASA set up a temporary trailer to provide legal and employment assistance to the workers. In 1993, Montgomery County granted CASA space and funding to operate a formal Center for Employment and Training at 734 University Blvd. East, in Silver Spring. This was CASA's first welcome center, which has served as a model for the creation of numerous other centers in Maryland and across the country.
Today, CASA organizes and advocates with its thousands of individual members and provides direct services in the areas of employment placement, workforce development and training, financial literacy, adult ESOL and Spanish literacy instruction, citizenship and legal services, health education, and human services navigation at its 5 welcome centers, three training centers (including a rented high school where we provide adult ESOL training to hundreds of students each evening), Our offices are located throughout the state of Maryland , specifically focusing on our community in Baltimore City, and Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. CASA caters its programs to three main constituencies: low-income women, workers, and tenants.
CASA is currently recognized as the largest Latino and immigrant organization in the state of Maryland, and is the recipient of national and international recognition for its work, including awards such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation's "Families Count!" Award (2005), the National Council of La Raza's "Affiliate of the Year" Award (2004), the Institute for Policy Studies' Letelier-Moffit Domestic Human Rights Award (2003), and the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund's Community Service Award (2006). Thanks to partnerships with local governments, private foundations, individuals, congregations, civic associations, and other organizations supporting CASA's work, over 20,000 low-income Latinos and immigrants directly benefit from CASA's programs and services every year.

Final: Eagles 33 Redskins 27
TOM THRELKELD: Redskins win 30-20. RG3 plays well, but Washington's running game & turnover differential are the difference in the game.
MARK BUTERBAUGH: Redskins win 27-16. RG3 shows off the arm, while Chip Kelly's offense runs into a more disciplined Redskins defense.
TOM BLAZ: Redskins win 27-17. Eagles have trouble adjusting to their new 3-4 defense & Redskins have momentum from their unbeaten preseason.
Redskins: SS Brandon Meriweather, QB Rex Grossman, QB Pat White, NT Chris Neild, RB Evan Royster, DB Jose Gumbs, OG Josh LeRibeus
Eagles: DE Vinny Curry, OT Matt Tobin, CB Shawn Prater, OT Dennis Kelly, QB Matt Barkey, TE Emil Igwenagu
Mark Buterbaugh will take over tonight with a live game report of the Redskins-Eagles matchup in this space.
FIRST QUARTER: REDSKINS 7 Eagles 12
Eagles move up the field on the opening drive, pretty much at will. However, Michael Vick makes an incomplete backward pass and DeAngelo Hall picks it up and jogs 90 yards for a Redskins TD. Redskins defense allows Eagles to move again, but force an Eagles field goal. We are at the 9:15 mark and will finally get to see RG3. RB Alfred Morris fumbles on the very first play for the Redskins. Wow. And the Eagles score on the very next play, a Vick TD pass to DeSean Jackson. Second Redskins drive leads to an RG3 interception. Things not going well at FedEx Field. Redskins finally get sustained pressure on Michael Vick that yields a sack and an eventual punt. Redskins fumble the ball again and this time it results in a safety. Redskins defense forces the Eagles to punt. End of one of the worst first quarters in recent Redskins memory. Thankfully, the Eagles only lead by 5.
SECOND QUARTER: REDSKINS 7 Eagles 26
Redskins can't sustain a drive and are forced to punt it away. Redskins get a huge sack from Ryan Kerrigan, which forces the Eagles to punt. Redskins go three and out. Eagles convert on a Vick TD pass to Celek after a horrible DeAngelo Hall penalty. Game is getting out of control early in DC. Redskins forced to punt again. This is pretty damn ugly. Eagles are driving once again. Eagles score once again. This is bad. Real bad.
THIRD QUARTER: Redskins 14 Eagles 33
Griffin antes an interception. Eagles score on a running play for a very quick TD. It's a rout in DC. Redskins finally build an offensive drive, their first of the game. The drive stalled and leads to a Redskins field goal. Too bad Kai Forbath missed it. Hey, might as well. Why should anything work tonight. Redskins defense forces a three and out. Redskins finally sustain a full offensive drive that leads to an Alfred Morris TD.
FOURTH QUARTER: Redskins 27 Eagles 33
Redskins get the ball back on a huge Josh Wilson hit that caused a fumble and Redskins recovery. Redskins score again with a TD pass from RG3 to Leonard Hankerson. Two point conversion failed. Washington forces an Eagles punt. A little over 9 minutes left. Redskins trying to make this real respectable and just write off the first half as working out the kinks. Redskins are driving again and cross mid field. Redskins turn it over on downs. Eagles get a critical first down to extend a drive to try and secure the win. Redskins force a punt. RG3 hits a nice TD pass to Leonard Hankerson, his second TD of the game.
Redskins fall 33-27. Good rally try by the Redskins. Give them credit, they did not give up. RG3 looked dominant in the second half.

text: Tom Bechman Those Before Us Faced Challenges Too Hoosier Perspectives Memories of my father remind me farming was never easy. Published on: January 24, 2011 As I sit here and write this today, it occurs to me that my father, George Robert Bechman, a lifelong tenant farmer, a Pearl Harbor Survivor, and my guiding light, even when I didn't know it, died exactly five months ago today, on Aug. 21, 2010. It was about 85 degrees warmer and the grass was brown, not white, but in my mind's eye, it hasn't been that long. Wherever I go I hear people talking about the challenges we face - the deficit, rising input costs, weed resistance, you name it. There are challenges today, even with GPS and auto-steering, and gizmos you can hold in your hand that can tell you what's happening half way around the world, then let you turn on or off irrigation pivots miles away. But those who went before faced uncertainty and challenges too. Maybe they were on a smaller scale, but for the times, with less technology, the mountains they faced were just as high, the work to be done was just as challenging. A story about my dad brings that into sharp focus. He was a tenant farmer when corn was $1.20 per bushel. After his death, we turned up one old insurance policy, still in force, that reminded me just how hard they had to scrap and scrape to earn a living and keep my brother and I fed and in clothes back then. The insurance policy was for an odd amount, less than $5,000. As it turned out, it was apparently taken out when dad took out a loan. The back page was from an earlier policy. Dated 1959, it was on a bank now four banks removed from today. The policy itself, dated 1968, was on a bank three banks removed, having been swallowed up by bigger fish in succession. And if the policy covered the loan amount, it is small potatoes today but was big-time money back then. There was just one problem. The beneficiary was the bank - the third one back, which no longer existed. The only way to redeem it would be to get the current bank, where they still banked to sign off. I'm not big on business, but I knew it was something I had to do. Dad wasn't big on business either, but obviously he took care of what he had to take care of. So I went to the bank. Fortunately I had worked with the manager before, a sweet gal with 20 years in banking. She offered to call the company for me. The original policy was written by a company that no longer exists, and the current company I had never heard of. This didn't bode well. It didn't take her long to ask for a supervisor. The company wanted documentation she couldn't provide at her level. The supervisor wasn't any better. He was totally unreasonable. So the manager called over her ace accountant, with more than 25 years experience. She played 'Who's on First' with the guy for 30 minutes. Finally, he agreed that if they would send a letter with the original policy, they would pay off. Still, mom and dad had paid in way more than was coming back. It was one of those old policies written with 'Whole Life' in big letters, and 'non participating' in small letters, which means it's one step above term insurance. "You mean that's all they're going to get after paying in all this time," the accountant asked. "Well, it happens, ma'am," was the reply. The ladies were flabbergasted, claiming in all their years they'd never got hold of someone like this guy. "We should have asked him to prove who he was," they said later. "The original insurance company doesn't exist either." On their advice, the box marked 'policy defaced and can't be forwarded' got checked, and a copy went in the mail. To my surprise, in just a few weeks, the check arrived, as promised. It was like dad handed us money to finish paying his final bills that I never expected to see. Times are tough today. Farming is complicated. But it has always been tough, and it has always been complicated. It's a matter of degrees. I'm proud my dad persevered and paid off those loans, bought a house and put us through college. Maybe he could have made better investments than continue paying on a cheesy insurance policy for 42 years, but then that check felt pretty good in my hand when we needed it most.

Pennsylvania State Police have released information about the circumstances surrounding a Pittsburgh man who died after being struck on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Sunday afternoon, where an estimated 50 vehicles were part of mass vehicular crashes.
According to State Police, Andrew S. Fisher, 35, had been walking on the westbound side of the turnpike around 12:28 p.m. at milepost 300.8 post in West Nantmeal to observe a severe part of the vehicle collisions.
He was located at the north part of an embankment when an Infinity driven by Susanne M. Case, 72, from Trenton, approached the collision scene.
Case, trying to avoid hitting people standing in the road, drove to the berm and hit Fisher where he stood on the north embankment, said police. Fished died on the turnpike from his injuries.
Fisher was a doctor and former Peace Corps volunteer, according to Philly.com.
State Police Corporal Richard Dean, who has been investigating the crashes, told Patch that they believe that the initial crash began with about 30 or 35 vehicles, and then about twenty more became involved, bringing the total to around 50-some vehicles.
Officials believe that weather could have contributed to the crash. The were more accidents reported on I-95 and I-476 that day.
Patch editor Courtney Elko was stuck on the westbound side of the turnpike from 12:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., when traffic had stopped.
"Cars were up embankments and all over, on and off the road. Some lost tires and there as debris all over the road," Elko said. "During the four hour wait, people were walking their dogs on the turnpike, standing outside chatting and some pulled off onto the shoulder, abandoned their cars and started walking. At least one car lost power and had to be jumped, fortunately it started up again."
