Sleep Apnea & Snoring Treatment
Did you know that snoring can be a symptom of a serious medical condition that can be Life Threatening. Obstructive sleep apnea affects more than 20 million Americans and can lead to hypertension, heart attack, stroke, depression, muscle pain, fibromyalgia, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Most people with mild sleep apnea are aware that they snore and feel overtired or fatigued but are unaware of potentially serious medical problems which may exist.
"APNEA": derived from a Greek word meaning
"want of breath."
SLEEP APNEA: the cessation of breathing during sleep for at least 10 seconds at least five times an hour
Dr. Ira L. Shapira founded www.IHateCPAP.com after more than 25 years of helping people Illinois and Southern Wisconsin solve their sleep apnea and snoring problems.
Dr. Shapira now teaches other dentists and doctors how to help their patients find relief from the symptoms and life-threatening effects of this condition.
Dr. Shapira was recently published in Cranio for his findings on TMD. His research highlights the behavioral and health risks associated with TMD patients and why so often these symptoms are misdiagnosed by other doctors. He provides recommendations for correct diagnosis and outlines some of the risks which can arise due to the poor sleep patterns associated with TMD. Read Dr. Shapira's article here to learn more about the affects of poor sleep which is often correlated with TMD patients.

The Texas License Plate Controversy
Saturday, 11. April 2015 19:47
The U.S. Supreme Court has heard arguments on a free speech case on whether Texas was wrong in rejecting a specialty vehicle license plate displaying the Confederate flag – to some an emblem of Southern pride and to others a symbol of racism.
The Court has to answer two free speech related questions in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc.
1) Whether the messages and images that appear on state-issued specialty license plates qualify as government speech immune from being viewpoint neutral.
2) Whether Texas engaged in "viewpoint discrimination" by rejecting the Sons of Confederate Veterans license plate/
Or in other words, who, exactly, is doing the "speaking" in the case of a specialty license plate? The State? Or the person who displays the license plate on their vehicle?
What are the limits? The Washington Post gives a run down of the oral argument in the case before the Supreme Court here.
The National Constitution Center describes the two issues in the case and the facts of the case, and I provide some Pro and Con links below the fold:

Oracle® Fusion
Applications Project Management Implementation Guide
11g Release 5 (11.1.5)
Part Number E20384-05
This chapter contains the following:
Manage Currencies
Manage Conversion Rate Types
Manage Daily Rates
When creating or editing currencies, consider these points relevant to entering the currency code, date range, or symbol for the currency.
You cannot change a currency code after you enable the currency, even if you later disable that currency.
Users can enter transactions denominated in the currency only for the dates within the specified range. If you do not enter a start date, then the currency is valid immediately. If you do not enter an end date, then the currency is valid indefinitely.
Even if you enter a symbol for a currency, the symbol is not always displayed when an amount is displayed in this currency. Some applications use currency symbols when displaying amounts. Others, like Oracle Fusion General Ledger, do not.
Use the Derivation Type, Derivation Factor, and Derivation Effective Date fields to define the relationship between the official currency (Euro) of the European Monetary Union (EMU) and the national currencies of EMU member states. For each EMU currency, you define its Euro-to-EMU fixed conversion rate and the effective starting date.
If you need to use a different currency code for Euro, you can disable the predefined Euro currency and create a new one.
The Euro currency derivation type is used only for the Euro, and the Euro derived derivation type identifies national currencies of EMU member states. All other currencies do not have derivation types.
The derivation factor is the fixed conversion rate by which you multiply one Euro to derive the equivalent EMU currency amount. The Euro currency itself should not have a derivation factor.
The derivation effective date is the date on which the relationship between the EMU currency and the Euro begins.
Create currencies to use, for example for reporting purposes, if they are not already provided. All currencies from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 4217 standard are provided.
Enable any currency other than USD for use in Oracle Fusion Applications, for example for displaying monetary amounts, assigning to sets of books, entering transactions, and recording balances. Only USD is enabled by default.
Precision is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point used in regular currency transactions. Extended precision is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point used in calculations for this currency, and it must be greater than or equal to the standard precision. For example, USD would have 2 for precision because amounts are transacted as such, for example $1.00. For calculations, for example adding USD amounts, you might want the application to be more precise than two decimal digits, and would enter an extended precision accordingly.
Some applications use extended precision. Others, such as Oracle Fusion General Ledger, do not.
Minimum accountable unit is the smallest denomination for the currency. For example, for USD that would be .01 for the cent. This unit does not necessarily correspond to the precision for all currencies.
The statistical unit currency type is used only for the Statistical (STAT) currency. The Statistical currency is used to record statistics such as the number of items bought and sold. Statistical balances can be used directly in financial reports, allocation formulas, and other calculations.
Maintain different conversion rates between currencies for the same period with the Oracle Fusion General Ledger conversion rate types functionality. Four predefined daily conversion rate types are seeded: Spot, Corporate, User, and Fixed, allowing you to use different rate types for different business needs. During journal entry, the conversion rate is provided automatically by the General Ledger based on the selected conversion rate type and currency, unless the rate type is user. For user rate types, you must enter the conversion rate. Define additional rate types as needed. Set your most frequently used rate type as the default. Conversion rate types cannot be deleted.
Assign conversion rate types to automatically populate the associated rate for your period average and period end rates for the ledger. For example, you can assign the predefined rate type Spot to populate your period average rates and the predefined rate type Corporate to populate your period end rates. Period average and period end rates are used in translation of account balances.
Conversion rate types are used to automatically assign a rate when you perform the following accounting functions:
Convert foreign currency journal amounts to ledger currency equivalents
Convert journal amounts from source ledgers to reporting currencies or secondary ledgers
Run Revaluation or Translation processes
In creating new conversion rates, decide whether to do the following:
Enforce inverse relationships
Select pivot currencies
Select contra currencies
Enable cross rates and allow cross rate overrides
Maintain cross rate rules
Check the Enforce Inverse Relationship check box to specify whether or not to enforce the automatic calculation of inverse conversion rates when defining daily rates.
When you enter a daily rate to convert currency A to currency B, General Ledger automatically calculates the inverse rate, currency B to A, and enters it in the adjacent column. If either rate is changed, the application automatically recalculates the other rate.
You can update the application calculated inverse rate, but once you do, the related rate is updated. The check box enforces that the inverse relationship is maintained but does not prevent you from updating the rates.
General Ledger calculates the inverse rate but you can change the rate and update the daily rates table without the corresponding rate being updated.
Select a pivot currency that is commonly used in your currency conversions. A pivot currency is the central currency that interacts with contra currencies. For example, you set up a daily rate between the US dollar (USD) and the Euro currency (EUR) and another between the USD and the Canadian dollar (CAD). USD is the pivot currency in creating a rate between EUR and CAD. EUR and CAD are the contra currencies. Select the pivot currency from the list of values which contains those currencies that are enabled, effective, and not a statistical (STAT) currency. The description of the pivot currency is populated automatically based on the currency definition.
If you want the application to create cross rates against a base currency, define the base currency as the pivot currency. Selected pivot currencies can be changed in the Rate Types page.
Select currencies available on the list of values as contra currencies. The available currencies are those currencies which are enabled, effective, not STAT currency, and not the pivot currency selected earlier. The description of the contra currency is populated automatically based on the currency definition. Add or delete contra currencies in the Contra Currencies region of the Rate Types page.
Check the Enable Cross Rates check box to calculate conversion rates based on defined currency rate relationships. General Ledger calculates cross rates based on your defined cross rate rules. Associate your cross rate rules with a conversion rate type, pivot currency, and contra currencies. Cross rates facilitate the creation of daily rates by automatically creating the rates between contra currencies based on their relationship to a pivot currency. If the Enable Cross Rates check box is changed to unchecked after entering contra currencies, the application stops calculating cross rates going forward for that particular rate type. All the earlier calculated cross rates for that rate type remain in the database unless you manually delete them.
For example, if you have daily rates defined for the pivot currency, USD to the contra currency, EUR, and USD to another contra currency, CAD, the application will automatically create the rates between EUR to CAD and CAD to EUR. This prevents the need to manually define the EUR to CAD and CAD to EUR rates.
Check the Allow Cross Rates Override check box to permit your users to override application generated cross rates. If you accept the default of unchecked, the application generated cross rates cannot be overridden
Define or update your cross rate rules at any time by adding or removing contra currency assignments. Add a contra currency to a cross rate rule and run the Daily Rates Import and Calculation process to generate the new rates. If your remove a cross rate rule or a contra currency from a rule, any cross rates generated previously for that contra currency remain unless you manually delete them. Changes to the rule are not retroactive and will not affect previously stored cross rates. The Cross Rate process generates as many rates as possible and skips currencies where one component of the set is missing.
With a defined web service that extracts daily currency conversion rates from external services, for example Reuters, currency conversion rates are automatically updated for the daily rates and all cross currency relationships.
There are four seeded conversion rate types in Oracle Fusion applications:
You are the general ledger accountant for InFusion America Inc. You are entering a journal entry to capture three transactions that were transacted in three different foreign currencies:
Canadian dollar (CAD): A very stable currency
Mexican Peso (MXP): A fluctuating currency
Hong Kong dollar (HKD): An infrequently used currency
You enter two lines with accounts and amounts for each foreign currency transaction. Based on your company procedures, you select the appropriate rate type to populate the rate for Corporate and Spot rate types from your daily rates table. You manually enter the current rate for the User rate type.
Currency Selected
Rate Type Selected
Entered a periodic type of transaction. Your company has established a daily rate to use for the entire month across divisions for all transactions in CAD. CAD is a stable currency that only fluctuations slightly over the month.
Entered a periodic type of transaction. Your company enters daily rates each day for MXP because this currency is unstable and fluctuates.
Entered a one time transaction. Your company does not maintain daily rates in HKD.
Your company does not currently use the Fixed rate type. From January 1, 1999, the conversion rate of the French franc (FRF) against the euro currency (EUR) was set at a fixed rate of 1 EUR to 6.55957 FRF. Your French operations were started in 2007, so you maintain all your French business records in the EUR.
Spot, corporate, user, and fixed conversion rate types differ based on the fluctuations of your entered foreign currency and your company procedures for maintaining daily rates.
Rate Type
For currencies with fluctuating conversion rates or when exact currency conversion is needed.
For establishment of a standard rate across your organization for a stable currency.
For infrequent entries where your daily rates for the entered foreign currency are not set up.
For rates where the conversion is constant between two currencies.
If you have infrequent foreign currency transactions, the user rate type can simplify your currency maintenance while providing an accurate conversion rate on the date of the transaction.
You are required to enter the daily rates for currency conversion from Great Britain pounds sterling (GBP) to United States dollars (USD) each day for your company InFusion America Inc.
Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) Desktop Integration is an Excel add-in that must be loaded onto each client. Because ADF Desktop Integration is an add-in to Microsoft Office products, you can use this feature only if they have Microsoft Excel 2007 or above, Internet Explorer 7 or above, and Microsoft Windows 7, XP Professional SP2, or Vista. Users must download the installation files from Navigator - Tools - Download Desktop Integrator Installer.

North Dakota boxer J.J. Moen dies days after collapsing
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) -- An amateur boxer in North Dakota who collapsed during a weekend fight has died.
The Grand Forks Herald reports that Grand Forks boxer Jerimiah "J.J.'' Moen died Wednesday morning at a hospital.
The 29-year-old Moen collapsed after the first round of a scheduled three-round, super-heavyweight Golden Gloves fight Saturday in East Grand Forks, Minn.
Moen's uncle, Mike Sweeney, says the family learned this week that Moen had "serious trauma'' to his brain from previous injuries, including concussions.
Moen had remained unconscious and in critical condition since the fight.
Sweeney says Moen boxed four years during high school and then returned to the ring last year. He was named a Golden Gloves regional champion last year.


text: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 APTA Testifies at HHS Quality Subcommittee Yesterday, APTA testified on the use of functional mobility and self-management measures at the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics Quality Subcommittee on Patient Quality Measures. Nearly 20 quality experts spoke on understanding patient/consumer health and health care decision-making needs and the measures and data to support health and decision making, using patient experience and satisfaction measures in assessing whether consumers/patients achieve their goals and expectations, and using patient preference measures in selection of insurance coverage, health providers, and treatment options. APTA's testimony, delivered by Heather L. Smith, PT, MPH, program director of quality, included information about functional mobility measures that are currently being used. The association described barriers to adopting certain quality measures, such as practitioners' resistance to change, the time needed to administer and interpret results, and access and cost issues related to technology, as well as presented strategies that could be employed to overcome these barriers. In addition to APTA, other panelists who presented on measures of functional mobility and self-management included John Hough, DrPH, MPH, MBA, from the National Center on Health Statistics, and Matt Stiefel, MPA, of Kaiser Permanente. Comments Thanks for your work on this important project, Heather and APTA. Posted by Derek Fenwick -> ?GU_DN on 3/4/2012 8:13 PM The new system of G-codes and severity modifiers is very vague. Which "valid and reliable" functional assessments will Medicare Part B consider acceptable? Since they have not provided a list if what they consider acceptable, I can see a long list of denials coming our way in the future. Did the APTA have any input on this system? Apparently not!

Regular trips as USO photographer enable faculty member to hone skills
Regular trips as USO photographer enable faculty member to hone skills
Forget first class or even coach, when Steve Manuel flies he most enjoys military transport -- even if that means the occasional landing that leaves everyone but the pilot with an increased heart rate and white knuckles.
"When we went into Guantanamo Bay, the plane dropped into a diving corkscrew to stay out of Cuban air space -- otherwise they'd have shot us down," Manuel said. "I thought we were all going to die. But, it was really pretty fun." Manuel then unleases his trademark laugh, a mix of honest enjoyment and some self-depreciating enthusiasm.
A former public affairs officer for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Marine Corps spokesman, Manuel joined the Penn State faculty in 1996 and serves as a senior lecturer in the College of Communications. A Penn State alumnus who earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University, Manuel teaches introduction to public relations, public relations methods and problems, crisis communications and first-year seminars in war reporting and ethics in photojournalism.
As a photojournalist, Manuel has won numerous photographic and writing awards. He continually sharpens his photojournalism skills with assignments from the Penn State Alumni Association, the Associated Press and other news organizations. His photographs have been featured in more than 115 publications, including The New York Times, Sports Illustrated and USA Today as well as many Alumni Association publications.
He especially anticpiates photojournalism duties on USO tours to international combat locations. While some people might enjoy far-from-the-front-line assignments, Manuel only wants tours that get him close to the action.
For the past 17 years he has participated on tours to Afghanistan, the Balkans, Guantanamo Bay, Okinawa/South Korea, Iraq and Kuwait. He's traveled with comedian/actor Dane Cook in June 2008, seven PGA golfers for Thanksgiving 2008 and comedian/TV host Stephen Colbert in June 2009. He recently returned from Qatar, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi with actors Kate Walsh ("Grey's Anatomy") and Kal Penn ("House") in May. Through the years Manuel has traveled with numerous actors, celebrities and even a group of NFL coaches.
"Most of them are so good at giving their time, and some really stand out. Dane Cook and Stephen Colbert were among the best. They did everything they could and never turned anyone down. Cook did three shows a day in 130-degree heat and he had the same energy whether he was in front of 50 people or 5,000. Off stage, he was low-key, polite and respectful."
Still, Manuel, who served during the Vietnam War and remains a Marine at heart, enjoys meeting members of the military most. "I'm not awed by celebrity," he said. "I go because I like seing what the military is doing, and I go back to see how the troops live. They're volunteering to do what they do and they live in some austere conditions. I think everybody who lives in the United States should have to make a trip to see what they do."
Before he retired from the Marines, Manuel's primary duty was writing public affairs guidance for field commands of all the military services for response to any questions from the press on exercises, operations and specific events. He was responsible for the Western Pacific region, which included China, the Korean Peninsula, Japan, the National Security Agency and POW/MIA Affairs. He served in many locations throughout the world, including Hawaii, Vietnam, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and New York.
Manuel started his photography career when a commanding officer asked if he could take pictures of a Toys for Tots drive at Fort Indiantown Gap. Those receiving the toys were Vietnamese orphans of U.S. military personnel.
"The higher ups asked if I could take some pictures and write a few words," Manuel said. "I said, 'Sure, do you have a camera?'" Officials sent the camera and some film, and Manuel took the pictures. He returned the film and a little while later they sent back a stack of papers with Manuel's photos all over the front page. "I thought, 'Hey, I like this,' and I just kept doing it." That was in 1971, when Manuel was 19 years old. He has not stopped taking pictures since.
Likewise, the USO tours began in 1996. He declined an initial offer, was subsequently told the trip was with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and decided to go along. Since then, the USO tours have been a fixture on his schedule for semester breaks and during the summer.

Are you wondering if buying a home is the right choice for you? Don't worry, we'll help you out.
Purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make in your life. Factors such as your annual income and how many years you plan to stay in your home can affect whether renting or buying is the most sensible choice.
Let our Rent vs Own Calculator help you gain a clearer picture of what your costs will be long-term if you rent or purchase a home.
Select the edit icon to edit your custom html
Calculate the difference between renting and buying a home.
In the present, renting may appear less expensive - monthly rent is typically more affordable than a down payment, and can be more affordable than monthly mortgage payments.
In the long run, however, experts say buying is more financially sound. When you purchase a home, you are building equity for your future. When you're making monthly rent payments, you will never see that money again.
As rates increase for both rent and home purchases, a major factor contributing to affordability of home purchases is mortgage interest rates. The higher the interest rate, the more you are paying over time.
In the end, it's a decision only you can make. If your financial picture is relatively stable and you plan to stay in your chosen town or community for the near future, buying a home may be the better choice. If you plan to move frequently, or are still working on improving or building your credit and finances, renting might be an ideal option.

Rochester Middle School
Around RMS
More updates on staff changes at RMS include: Mrs. Walker of the Plymouth State Team will serve as the Interim Special Education coordinator for this year. The position will reopen for a permanent coordinator in the spring of 2013. Mrs. Hersom will join the Plymouth State Team beginning this week, Oct. 1. Mrs. Hersom has held several positions in the middle school community, including student at RMS, and most recently subbing on the UNH team for Mrs. Gouzoules-Walton.
Mrs. Hebert, Special Education secretary, has moved into the Guidance Department secretary position vacated by Ms. Ford. Mrs. McLain, one of our long-term building aides, will become the AP Office/Special Education secretary. The middle school currently is advertising for a 27 hour per week Building Aide/Main Office position.
The Endicott Team is once again conducting a fundraiser with Tropical Smoothie Cafe at Rochester Crossing. On Thursday, Oct. 4, 20 percent of all sales between 5 and 8 p.m. will be donated to the team.
The RMS Employee of the Month for September is Brandy Sanger. Mrs. Sanger is a paraprofessional staff member who works on a number of jobs at the middle school. This past summer, Mrs. Sanger coordinated the summer school program for the eighth graders who used the Plato Educational Program to make up for missing credits. Last year she was one of the advisers for Youth-to-Youth but this year she handed off that role to Mrs. Williamson as she is the new RMS Yearbook adviser, taking the place of Ms. Ford. Congratulations, Mrs. Sanger.
RMS has a reminder from the principal: Rochester Middle School opens at 7:05 a.m. In order to ensure each child's safety, students should not be arriving to school prior to this. There is no staff to supervise students before this time.
The fourth annual Veterans' Celebration will be held on Nov. 9. A survey will be going home with students asking for information about relatives who are either currently serving or were in the past so RMS may honor them.
Progress reports were handed out to students on Sept. 28.
Clubs and Organizations
RMS is now accepting applications for Merit Club. Students interested in applying need to see team teachers for an application.
The RMS Student Council sponsored its first event of the year, an ice cream social for sixth graders on Sept. 28, after school. Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Benjamin, council advisers, noted that 175 students attended.
Mr. Lalonde has a report from the National Jr. Honor Society, which had its first meeting of the year Sept. 24: "Most of the discussion centered around the general outline of what we do as an organization throughout an academic year. An outline of RMS-related events include Thanksgiving Notes & Small Gift for Faculty/Staff, a Holiday Gift for Faculty/Staff, Teacher Appreciation in early May, and the NJHS Induction in late May. Opportunities for community service include Fall Fair Day at McClelland School (October), Food Drive for Gerry's Food Pantry (March), and Rochester Pride Day (April). Also discussed were fundraisers for our group including a November event to support the RMS Library Media Center at Barnes & Noble in Newington. The next meeting is Monday, Oct. 15."
Mrs. Allard of the Endicott Team has a review from the first meeting of the Poetry Club last week: "Poems were created, inspired by nature, other poets, past experiences, and art. We read Intro to Poetry by Billy Collins to start the creative juices flowing. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, Oct. 16. All staff and students are invited to come to our meetings."
The RMS Cross-country teams traveled to Portsmouth Christian Academy in Dover on Sept. 24. The boys team placed first out of the six teams competing that day. The girls' team also placed first, however, there was only one other school with enough girl runners to score in the meet. There needs to be five runners on a team to have a team score.
Scoring for the girls were: Monica Varona, 4th; Taylor Gray, 5th; Sydney Todd, 6th; Caitie Kujawa, 7th; Abby Turgeon, 8th; Madison Guilmette, 11th; and Lauren Noble, 12th. Finishing in the top 20 were Alicia Oumsang, Natalie Noble, and Phoebe Downer. There were 41 girls running.
Scoring for the boys were: Jeremy Lang, 3rd; Griffin Towle, 6th; Arie Breakfield, 8th; Miles Leno, 11th; Jordan Gosselin, 13th; Ben Abbett, 22nd; Andrew Gosselin, 24th; and Eric Hadden 26th. There were 49 boys running.
The teams traveled to Prospect Mountain High School on Sept. 27, to compete in a meet hosted by Alton Central School. The teams ran against several teams not in the Seacoast League, and both the girls' and boys' teams placed first. This is the first time for the RMS cross-country teams to place first in a meet against several scoring teams.
Scoring for the girls were: Taylor Gray, 5th; Monica Varona, 7th; Sydney Todd, 8th; Caitie Kujawa, 10th; Madison Guilmette, 12th; Lauren Noble, 21st; and Mackenzie Thibeault, 25th. There were several runners finishing the top half of the field of 63 girls: Natalie Noble, Alicia Oumsang, Phoebe Downer, and Isobel Bailey.
Scoring for the boys were: Jeremy Lang, 5th; Griffin Towle, 7th; Arie Breakfield, 13th; Miles Leno, 22nd; Jordan Gosselin 23rd; William Duffey, 27th; and Eric Hadden, 28th. There were 64 boys running.
The teams competed at the North Hampton School on Oct. 2, and results will be available next week. The following week they will participate in the Seacoast League Championship Meet. They will host their own meet on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at the Hanson Pines Park.
Coaches Geisler and Hoyt have 2 weeks' worth of results to announce: During the week of Sept. 17 the volleyball teams had two home games. Tuesday they played Barrington Middle School. The JV team swept Barrington in just two games while the varsity battled back and took them in three. On Thursday RMS played arch rival Dover Middle School. Both JV and Varsity fought hard and both came out victorious!
During the week of Sept. 24, the girls' RMS volleyball teams played Henry Wilson School of Farmington and Portsmouth Middle School. With two great wins the JV team maintained their undefeated record. The Varsity team lost a tough match to Henry Wilson but came back to defeat Portsmouth on Tuesday! Way to go girls!
The teams were at Nute Jr. High School in Milton on Oct. 2. They will travel to Portsmouth Christian Academy in Dover on Thursday, Oct. 4.
Intramural basketball began this week. Games started Oct. 2 and continue through Thursday, Oct. 25. Games are played on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:25-3:10 p.m.
Oct. 8, Monday, is Columbus Day, and there is no school that day.
Oct. 10, NECAP testing begins.
Oct. 13, Trick or Feet 5K Race at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Oct. 24, early release day
St. Elizabeth Seton School
By JOELLE GRAY and MAKAYLA THOMAS
Exciting things have been happening at St. Elizabeth Seton School! The volleyball teams are doing well, with the varsity team undefeated at 5-0. Chorus and band are starting soon, as well as the cheerleading season. The first school fundraiser recently ended and we're hoping that it brings in a lot of money for our school. The school is preparing for the Harvest Fair that will be held in our cafeteria on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 8 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Each class is working hard to prepare an item or basket to be auctioned off at the event. We hope to see you there!
School Street School
This week in grade 3 we have been learning about earning, spending, and saving money.
We had a visitor from Holy Rosary Credit Union come and talk with us. We learned all about savings and checking accounts, and interest. With so many new faces we continue to make new friends and learn from each other.
In math we have begun our yearlong sunrise/sunset graphing project. We are looking forward to learning cursive as well as more multiplication facts.
Maple Street Magnet School
Second graders Alex, Molly, Emmaline, Hannah, Jadyn, Kenneth, Veronica, Levi and Emmalee wrote about happenings in their class.
In reading groups, students read Sue's Hummingbird. Emmalee thought everyone did their best reading.
Spelling tests make your brain think hard. Students have 15 words to study from their reading book. Levi likes to write the words.
Every morning second graders do math. IPads is a center in math. They play Arithmetic Mouse, Second Grade Math, and Clock Master. Other centers are math books and math games. When Molly polled her classmates, most children preferred the iPad center.
Everyday they write. One week the students took notes about astronauts and wrote a book and published it. Students also read their writing. Veronica thinks some pieces are good and some pieces are so-so.
Every Monday, Thursday, and Friday they have French class but this week Mr. Wintje is visiting France. Jadyn wants his substitute Ms. Larochelle to know we are thankful she is here.
Several students enjoy playing kickball at recess. Kenneth explains how Spencer has students count off by ones and twos to determine teams. The pitcher rolls the ball. Here is Kenneth's play by play:
"It was a good kick. Yeah! Who kicked that ball? It was Garret. Zander is the next pitcher. If Zander gets four balls on Hunter he gets to walk to first base. Then Alex kicks it and Hunter goes to second, then on to third. Finally Jacob kicks and Hunter runs home."
Emmaline and Hannah wrote about their personal learning plans. They are interested in fashion design. They have been researching cool dresses.
Olivia wrote about the fire drill. It happened just as she was handing a paper into Mrs. Muzzey. It was scary and loud. She was glad when it was over.
Alex wrote about all the tests. The reading test had 53 questions. The math test had 55 questions. Students had to read a lot and write a lot. One test had 18 pages. The tests are hard, but the students all worked hard.

Nute High school and Library
By TAYLOR BELANGER
The Nute chorus is getting ready for its concerts this year. We have already planned songs to sing for our Veterans Day, Christmas, and pops concerts, including "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson, and "O'America" by Celtic Women. As a member of the chorus, I hope to see all of the students and staff on Nov. 8 for our first assembly performance, which should be exciting for the chorus and the audience.
Ms. Monterose, the new music instructor at Nute High School states, "Everyday is a new adventure for us as a group."
Sophomore tenor Ben Holmes agrees. "We've definitely improved in these short few weeks. We've already harmonized and sung better, as a group, than we ever have," he said.
Our returning members are senior soprano Vanessa Palmer, junior sopranos Allexis Roberge and MayBeth Munson, sophomore altos Gabbie Rioux, Kate Hatch, and Shania Santoro-Nason, junior tenor Ethan West, sophomore tenor Ben Holmes, and me, a sophomore bass. New faces to be seen this year are freshman sopranos, Jazmin Davis and Alyssa Nesbitt, junior alto Julie Saufley, freshman altos, Krista Adams and Brianna Cruz, and freshman tenor Will Gammon.

Parents, Kids, Bullying: "Carnage" out today
"The Hunger Games," "Bully," "We Need To Talk About Kevin"…. Mad Moviegoer hasn't even begun referencing newspaper headlines and already a list addressing children and violence quickly lengthens.
In "Carnage" — out on Blu-ray and DVD today — two sets of parents begin a conversation about a playground incident that left one of their sons wounded and the other blamed for bullying.
An initially civil if tense visit by the alleged bully's parents (Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz) to the alleged victim's folks (Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly) devolves in a hurry. If that's a lot of "alleges," there are reasons.
And if the Roman Polanski-directed movie begins to feel a bit theatrical, somewhat claustrophobic and a lot like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" that is likely because it's based on a play: Yasmina Reza's Tony Award-winner "The God of Carnage" (2009). Polanski and Reza co-wrote the screenplay.
While the film affords audiences a fine opportunity to watch an extremely talented quartet execute their craft in such different ways as their characters go at it — making new alliances, tearing at old marital scabs – the filmmaking isn't persuasive. Too many times, Mad Moviegoer just didn't buy that either of these couples would tolerate the other long enough to get their many jabs and gibes in. But stay they do and in doing so they provide a few insights into how hard it is for parents to understand, let alone accept, any violence their child might perpetrate.
"Carnage" feels like a set-up, a hot house of vital issues. While theater does this sort of thing mighty well, film doesn't always. Polanski's static composition wilts more than blooms.
Note to locals: Denver's ambitious and able Curious Theatre Company announced recently it would end its upcoming 15th season with "The God of Carnage." (April 27-June 8, 2013)

Science and medicine
Joseph Jackson Lister's microscope, London, England, 1826
British Sign Language description
Audio description
The job of the scientist
Scientists at the frontiers of medical research observe nature with the twin aims of uncovering facts and formulating laws. This admirable work inevitably involves making very detailed observations of the human body and its diseases.
The use of dissection from the 2nd century CE
In the 2nd century CE, the Greek physician Galen, one of the pioneers of medical science, used living pigs to demonstrate that the brain controlled the body. Later, the Renaissance anatomist Andreas Vesalius urged physicians to conduct dissections and make their own observations rather than trusting to descriptions of the body that had been handed down by ancient and far from reliable medical authorities (such as Galen).
Experiments through time that led to the discovery of blood circulation
Doctors also conducted experiments. The Persian scholar Ibn Sina developed rules for testing the effectiveness of drugs on hospital patients in the late 900s. In the 1200s Ibn Al-Nafis discovered the pulmonary circulation of the blood (between the heart and the lungs). This discovery remained largely unknown in Europe until the 1600s, when the English physician William Harvey devised experiments to prove the circulation of blood.
What counts as science?
Medical doctors also borrowed concepts from other scientific disciplines, such as physics and chemistry, to explain sickness and health, although opinions on what counts as science have changed over time. Outside of the pages of some tabloid newspapers, astrology is no longer considered a science. Yet it is based on systematic observations of the heavens, and it formulates laws and principles. For centuries physicians in Christian Europe, the Islamic world and in China used it in their medical practice.
Experimenting and measuring: the Enlightenment of the 1700s
In the 1700s, philosophers of the Enlightenment began to advocate science as a motor of progress. Contemporaries celebrated the scientific genius of people such as physicist Isaac Newton. Hermann Boerhaave and other physicians attempted to develop a form of 'Newtonian medicine' based on experiment and measurement. The claim to scientific objectivity provided physicians with the ammunition they needed to claim superiority over other healers, such as midwives and barber-surgeons - an argument which ultimately helped them dominate the lucrative medical marketplace.
Professional careers as medical scientists in the 1800s
But many features of modern science didn't become standard elements of scientific practice until the 1800s. Clinical research, laboratories, government funding, scientific journals and professional associations all date from this period. When these elements were introduced, men (and later women too) could pursue professional careers as medical scientists.
Observing patients in hospitals in 1800
Around 1800, French physicians began to use hospitals for clinical research. Hospitals provided opportunities to observe large numbers of patients. If a patient died, the body could be dissected to find links between external symptoms and pathological causes inside the body. This approach soon spread throughout Western medicine.
The introduction of laboratories in the 1800s
With the introduction of laboratories in the 1800s, experimentation became an important part of medical research. The German chemist Justus von Liebig installed a chemical laboratory at the university where he taught. His research and that of his students was very successful, and soon other universities began to build their own laboratories. Scientists used their experiments and measurements to argue that the human body could be understood in the same way as any other object. In 1842, Liebig showed that chemical laws operate on living bodies and inanimate matter alike. Hermann von Helmholtz did the same in 1847 for physical laws.
Technological advances in the 1800s
In the 1800s, research institutes provided the newly minted professional scientists with space, equipment and money to conduct experiments. Technological advances greatly improved scientific instruments such as the microscope and the thermometer and led to the invention of new instruments such as the ophthalmoscope for looking inside the eye, and the sphygmograph for measuring blood pressure.
Improved instruments contributed to new understandings of the body. The microscope, for instance, led to the discovery of the cell as the fundamental building block of the human body. It also contributed to the development of the germ theory of disease by Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and others since 1861.
The role of chance in medical discoveries
But chance continued to play a role in medical discoveries. In 1847 James Simpson began a revolution in the practice of surgery when, while experimenting at home with some friends, he discovered that chloroform could serve as a very effective anaesthetic. In 1928 the Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered that penicillin killed bacteria - a discovery that ultimately saved many lives in the Second World War and led to the development of many new antibiotics.
New scientific principles and new understanding after 1900
After 1900 the combined forces of different scientific disciplines and techniques led to new understandings of the body. In their 1953 discovery of the structure of DNA, Francis Crick and James Watson were able to draw on their own previous work in biology and physics as well as on the results of X-ray studies by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
New problems for science
Today, medical research uses vast resources to develop new drugs and techniques to combat diseases. Science has helped us to create solutions to long-standing medical problems, but it also raises new questions. Some are of a practical nature: the frequent use of antibiotics, for instance, has caused the emergence of resistant disease strains, the so-called 'superbugs'.
Ethical problems associated with new solutions
Other possible solutions pose ethical problems: should scientists be allowed to experiment on humans, embryos and animals? And should we use science to keep very ill people alive under any circumstances - no matter how clever the science?

A 41st minute tally from veteran forward Brian McBride looked good enough to keep the Chicago Fire perfect in preseason but Guadalajara midfielder Adrián Domínguez struck late in second half stoppage time to give Chivas a share of the spoils in Thursday afternoon's friendly match played at the Mexican club's Verde Valle training facility.
Setting out in a 4-5-1 formation, Fire head coach Carlos de los Cobos employed a lineup that many would consider the projected starting 11 when the club opens the 2010 regular season March 27 at Red Bull New York. Their opponents put out a side mixed of first-team and reserve team players.
On loan from Mexican side Club Leon, the 7th minute saw Fire midfielder Julio Martinez connect on the end of a ball played over the top of the Guadalajara defense. In alone on goal, the Salvadoran international caught the Chivas netminder off his line but trickled a shot just wide left after rounding the goalkeeper.
The next chance came in the 24th minute when longtime Fire veteran Justin Mapp broke free down the right side before being chopped down just outside the Guadalajara penalty area, earning a free kick, which he ended up putting just over the Chivas goal.
Momentum shifted towards the home team midway through the first half, when the Fire committed a couple dangerous fouls close to the penalty area, though Chivas were unable to convert on their few chances.
The Fire struck first blood in the 41st minute following a string of combination passes between the back line and midfield, central defender Wilman Conde played a long ball over the Chivas defense, putting Brian McBride through one-on-one with the Chivas keeper. The retired U.S. international chipped the netminder with his first touch, putting the Fire up 1-0 going into the interval.
"We were happy overall with the performance in the first half," said Fire Technical Director Frank Klopas. "We had a few chances that could have us up comfortably going into halftime, but that's not what these matches are about - the players showed well, putting into practice the things we've been working on in training."
The second half saw wholesale changes to the Fire lineup, with de los Cobos putting out a mixed side of veterans, draftees and trialists. The first ten minutes were relatively uneventful, with a number of attempts to play trialing forward Collins John through on goal thwarted by the Chivas keeper coming quickly off his line each time.
In the 57th minute, a Chivas winger beat trialing defender O'Brian Woodbine down the right, ripping a low, hard shot to the left post. Substitute goalkeeper Sean Johnson was equal to the effort but was unable hang on to the ball, forcing a clearance from draftee Kwame Watson-Siriboe. Three minutes later, John nearly made it 2-0 after breaking through the Guadalajara defense but the Dutch striker cracked a right-footed drive off the crossbar from the top of the 18, the bar, keeping the score within the Mexican club's reach.
With the action slowing down midway through the second frame, de los Cobos continued to look for a second goal, using substitutions to bring on attacking players Patrick Nyarko, Drew Yates and Stefan Dimitrov in the 68th, 73rd and 83rd minutes, respectively.
The game got chippy as the Fire worked to keep possession with Chivas pressuring high, looking for the equalizer. The play saw defender Dasan Robinson and midfielder Peter Lowry picking up yellow cards.
Guadalajara continued to keep the Fire on their toes, sending an in-swinging free kick from the left, the ball grazed over Johnson's bar on 87 minutes. Three minutes later though, the Mexican side finally broke through when Adrián Domínguez struck a low, hard shot, beating Johnson to his right and earning the hosts a draw.
"The second performance we didn't see as much offense, but we're still pleased with the possession we saw," said Klopas. "This was a good game against a tough opponent and will be very helpful when it comes time for us to make roster decisions going forward."
The Fire will continue training in Guadalajara through March 4, with a friendly against an opponent to be confirmed on March 3.

HostileFork says dont trust SE
Not actually hostile, just a bit irate. :)
A "hostile fork"—as many developers know—refers to when open source efforts diverge due to different ideas about where the code should be taken. I started my site intending to get to the bottom of why we all can't just get along as a bit of an SEO/keyword hack. (It worked...try googling "hostile fork".)
Until I figure out how to make everyone bring the best ideas to the table, I'm just blogging about software development. Long term I hope that people searching for "hostile fork x" will find my site and consider engagement instead of forking. Yet somehow it's easier to answer StackOverflow questions than make people get along. Who knew?
And yes I drew the fork. I'm an artiste as well as a programmer. :P

The Chemistry Division staff consists of approximately 103 full-time employees, three full-time military employees, and three intermittent employees. A number of other personnel work on site in the Division, including Research Associates of the National Research Council and the American Society for Engineering Education, academic scientists and faculty on sabbatical leave or in a part-time status, summer students, exchange students, cooperative programs, Junior Fellows, gifted and talented high school students, research apprentices, and contract scientists. This broad spectrum of scientific talent completes the total complement of approximately 200 personnel who work daily in the Division. Their diverse technical backgrounds include not only chemistry and chemical engineering, but also physics, mathematics, computer science, environmental science, materials science, biochemistry, microbiology, and electrical engineering. The numerous awards reflect the scientific quality and productivity of this rich mixture of talent and recognition accorded members of the Chemistry Division.
The facilities in the Chemistry Division include a wide array of modern equipment essential to exploring the horizons of the research frontiers. Spectrophotometers, spectrometers, proximal probes, synchrotron and laser light sources, chromatographic instruments, electron microscopes, molecular biology capability, molecular graphics, etc. make up the complement of this front line equipment. The laboratory has a CRAY Y-MP super computer, a Connection Machine and Beowulf class computer, all accessible from the Chemistry Division. The combination provides a wide array of capabilities to enhance both theoretical and experimental research.
Fire research has been strength of the Chemistry Division for a number of years, and continues to show growth in Safety and Survivability for the Navy. Included are facilities such as FIRE I, a 10,000 ft3 pressurizable chambers in which enclosed fires under controlled atmospheric conditions are simulated, and the ex-USS SHADWELL (LSD-15), a retired 475-foot ship which has been extensively renovated and instrumented as a fire and damage control test bed. Fire tests aboard this ship, located at Mobile, Alabama, permit simulation of realistic experimental fire conditions. A fire research facility at the Chesapeake Beach Detachment of NRL in Calvert County, Maryland, allows study of large open fires up to 100 ft. in diameter.
Corrosion science and engineering have been important chemical issues throughout NRL's entire existence. The recent indication of the Center for Corrosion Sciences and Engineering reflects that fact. In addition to laboratory facilities, the Center operates a test site at Key West, Florida where exposure to the ocean/sun can be evaluated and ship hull electrochemical corrosion phenomena modeled.
