The state's four-year graduation rate has been improving for the past six years, state officials announced Thursday, and Worcester's has seen a similar upward trend over the past five years.
Worcester public schools continue to outpace the urban district average but fall short of the state average, according to figures from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
"While I am pleased that we are making progress, there is clearly much work to do," Superintendent Melinda J. Boone said in a press release. Approximately 13 percent of Worcester's class of 2012 dropped out in the four years before graduation day. That figure, like the city's graduation rate, puts the district between the urban and state averages.
Graduation and dropout rates varied across the district's high schools. Worcester Technical High School, for instance, had the highest graduation rate (96.4 percent) and lowest percent of students drop out over four years (1.5 percent). North High was on the reverse end of both statistics, with 57.3 percent of the class of 2012 graduating on time and 21.7 percent dropping out over four years.
North's graduation rate went up over the previous year, but so did its dropout rate. It has been a stubborn number. Last year, all of the city's high schools except North saw their dropout rates improve. North has the highest percentage of low-income students (81.2 percent) and the highest percentage of special education students (24.8 percent) of any comprehensive high school in the city, but the numbers are not far off those at South High Community School. South even has a slightly higher percentage of students who are not English proficient, but saw 65.4 percent of its students graduate on time.
District leaders, including Chief Academic Officer Marco Rodrigues, have been working with North administrators and faculty since November to address the graduation and drop-out figures, Mr. Rodrigues said. Their work has included creating individualized graduation plans for 68 at-risk seniors and monitoring all seniors through the end of the school year; restructuring study skills periods to provide more targeted support for students; and, starting March 2, offering after-school and Saturday sessions for specific students who need more academic help. The school has also created a ninth grade planning team to analyze student work, Mr. Rodrigues said.
In Southbridge, the district had the highest four-year dropout rate (14.4 percent) in Central Massachusetts, but it saw its highest graduation rate (79.3) since at least 2008. The district, which is working with the state, had its accelerated improvement plan recently approved. Tuesday, state monitors said the district was starting to make progress.
Other districts in Central Massachusetts were at the opposite end of the spectrum. Three schools graduated all of their students: the Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School in Marlboro, Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science in Worcester and Ralph C. Mahar's new Pathways program, which creates an entry point for students to earn a free associate degree.

A Complete Look at the Gryson Fall 2011 Collection; Plus, Details on Joy Gryson's New High-End Capsule Handbags
A Complete Look at the Gryson Fall 2011 Collection; Plus, Details on Joy Gryson's New High-End Capsule Handbags
>> Last night at The James Hotel's rooftop bar The Jimmy, Joy Gryson previewed her Fall 2011 Gryson collection, which marks the designer's first time using sharkskin. The aim for the collection, Gryson says, was "to evoke a sense of soft and sensual mood, while still playing up to the expected edgy, downtown aesthetic." Hardware was designed "from natural elements like horn," and, Gryson adds, "I used a lot of earth tones for the color palette."
Gryson is also launching her new high-end handbag collection, Capsule by Joy Gryson, for Fall, which focuses on two different shapes — square with a removable chain strap or a rectangular clutch — that come in eight styles (think materials like stingray, astrakhan, python, and again with the sharkskin). "I wanted something for going to dinner," the designer explained. "But none of that pristine stuffy stuff." A look at the Fall 2011 Gryson collection in the gallery.

There's nothing quite like the sound of a warm spring wind rustling through a vibrantly green patch of Oats. Bowed with the weight of their ripening fruit, they nod and toss their heads with each breeze. Their sweet smell and long smooth leaves certainly invite us to sit down and get acquainted with them. In case you can't tell, Avena is a favorite plant of mine, both as a beautiful living plant and as a primary medicine in my materia medica.
Many people think of gruel or porridge when they hear the word Oats. For some, this is a pleasant association of home-cooked food and for others, not so much. Most don't necessarily connect Oats to medicine or even to a live plant but rather to that flaky brown stuff in the round cardboard container many of us grew up with.
And yet, Avena has its origins in a wild plant that has spread so well and so widely that even experts are unclear on exactly where it first began. Feral and cultivated Oats are one of our best nervines, nerve tonics and overall supplementing tonics. As weeds and wild things, they require little from human hands to make themselves at home and proliferate at will. There's a lesson to be had in their tenacious vibrancy and in the particular medicine they provide us. In their capacity to restore frayed nerves and tired minds, they also give us the gift of returning to our original wild selves with renewed energy and vigor.
While I have previously written at some length about the use of the fresh plant tincture of milky tops of Avena, this particular post is about the dried aerial parts of the plant, including either just the dried milky tops or the entire above ground green plant, harvested during the milky stage.
Avena is one of those mild herbs that I was at first rather skeptical of. I found myself wondering if it actually ~did~ much of anything, outside of providing vitamins and minerals. Yes, yes, I know what the books say, but I'll admit that I'm rarely convinced of anything just by reading about it. In my world, experience will prove something out, or not. That the fresh tincture of the milky tops worked as an effective nervous system trophorestorative I had little doubt of after many case studies where the plant did indeed make a significant difference. But it's taken me much longer to make what I feel is a fair and accurate assessment of the dried plant used as an infusion. This monograph is a summary of just that – my experiences working with Oatstraw with family, friends, clients and myself.
Avena is a consistent, safe and effective nutritive tonic for those suffering from exhaustion from overwork or emotional trauma. Often there will be symptoms of irritability, chronic fatigue, inability to focus, loss of libido and sometimes heart palpitations. The loss of libido is often directly related to the other symptoms, as it can be difficult to be fully present and physically engaged when dealing with anxiety and bone-deep tiredness. However, it does appear that Avena has a more specific effect on the endocrine system as well, promoting balanced menstrual cycles and sexual health. And proving the old saying about sowing one's oats. This is even more true when the Avena is combined with an adaptogenic/tonic herb such as Withania.
Avena is most indicated when there is a combination of anxiety and restlessness (often accompanied by insomnia) with some level of depression, mental fatigue and inability to focus. It's great for that "tired but wired" feeling so many of experience after long periods of overwork (or child rearing), especially if there is a history of lack of adequate sleep. It's also an excellent tonic for those whose nervous systems are worn down or fried from substance abuse of any kind. Additionally, I have seen it significantly reduce the occurrence of chronic tension headaches brought on by anxiety, overwork, menstrual cycle and/or exhaustion.
The herb can be very helpful where there are palpitations triggered by tiredness and endocrine imbalance. Avena has a long reputation as a mild cardiotonic, and while I'm not sure if the mode of action is simply through its effect on the nervous system or if there is a more direct impact on the heart itself but I have definitely seen it reduce the frequency and severity of heart palpitations clearly brought on by stress, although I prefer the dried plant combined with the use of the fresh plant tincture of the milky tops in such cases. From King's American Dispensatory:
This plant is a nerve-tonic, stimulant, and antispasmodic. It ranks among the most important restoratives for conditions depending upon nervous prostration, and for the nervous exhaustion consequent upon typhoid and other low fevers, and the accidental disorders arising from these complaints, as weak heart, spermatorrhoea, insomnia, etc. In enfeebled states of the heart muscle it acts as a good tonic to improve the energy of the organ, and is recommended by Prof Webster to prevent relapsing cardiac rheumatism. In this condition it is not thought to be specially antirheumatic, but rather to strengthen that debility upon which the rheumatic diathesis depends, so that the patient is less subject to atmospheric and other impressions.
Avena has neither overt relaxant or stimulating actions, but instead seems to heal and nourish the nervous system so that the body can respond appropriately to stimulus rather than overreacting with either depression or anxiety. Its soothing character and neutral energetic profile makes it appropriate for nearly anyone, including children and those weak from deficiency or long illness. Herbalist Thomas Avery Garran specifically says that:
Oat is a gentle supplementing medicinal. Its action of supplementing both yin and qi is somewhat unique and makes it appropriate for many patterns affecting an extraordinary number of patients in the West. Coupled with its [ability] to nourish the heart and calm the spirit, these supplementing properties make oat extremely important in modern practice…
Keep in mind that Avena is a nutritive, gentle herb and can take time to have a noticeable effect. While some people, especially those with extreme exhaustion, can feel the soothing touch of the plant right away, many only notice the effects after 4-6 weeks of consistent use. If symptoms are severe and a more rapid resolution is needed, consider using the tincture of the fresh milky heads in addition to the Oatstraw. The tincture doesn't replace the mineral-rich water-based preparations of Oatstraw, but it usually has a quicker action and they work very well when used in tandem.
Some herbalists are of the opinion that only the fresh plant tincture of the milky tops is the only part of the plant worth using, but I have found in my practice that the dried green herb also has great value. This is in part due to its impressive mineral profile, but also because of its gentle nervine effect. I consider the tincture and the dried plant to be somewhat different medicines, and often use them concurrently.
Oatstraw is the foundation of many of my nourishing infusion blends for clients with nervous system depletion, endocrine deficiency and general lack of energy and mental clarity. The infusion is quite pleasant tasting, light, slightly nutty, grassy and sweet and with a bit of honey, even most children can be convinced to indulge in a cup of Oatstraw. It's hard to go wrong with Avena, and it will often help and almost never harm or cause complications. It is a core restorative, and very much a tonic in the sense that it replenishes and supplements at a deep level rather than simply stimulating surface function. I can't emphasize how needed and vital these sorts of medicines are in an age and culture where burnout is the norm and exhaustion is expected. Do keep in mind though, that depletion needs to be addressed on every level, from lifestyle and sleep habits to nutrition and herbs. There is no one quick fix, the key is supporting the whole person.
Oats are common feral and wild plants throughout most of the US and beyond. They're also are very easy to grow seed, even indoors or by children. Wildlife are very fond of it though, so keep it protected if you have hungry neighborhood critters. It's ready to harvest when the immature green fruits pop when you squeeze them and emit a milky white fluid. You can harvest the whole plant or just the milky tops. If you harvest the tops and cut them back by about half, they tend to come back with a second round of fruit to harvest.
Common Names: Wild Oats, Oatstraw, Oatgrass, Catgrass,
Botanical Name: Avena sativa, A. fatua
Botanical Family: Poaceae
Taste: Sweet, bland
Energetics: Neutral, moist
Actions:Nutritive, nervine, nervous system trophorestorative
Parts Used: Dried aerial parts or tops harvested during milky phase.
Preparations: Usually taken as an infusion, and sometimes a decoction (if primarily interested in extracting minerals).
Dosage: From 1-4 Cups of the infusion per day usually, preferably spread out through the day rather than all at once.
Considerations & Contraindications: None except that a very few people wit Celiac disease or gluten intolerance have problems with Oats in any form, sometimes because of cross-contamination with other grains during processing. Additionally, some individuals have a rare reaction specifically to Oats. Otherwise Avena is a very safe and basically a food-like herb.
Recipe: A favorite spring tonic of mine that I find very beneficial in increasing energy without overt stimulation and while simultaneously providing a sense of centered calm is a sweet and spicy blend of Oatstraw, Raspberry, Sassafras, Roses and Cinnamon. This alterative mix is both nourishing and energizing, and with a bit of honey or maple (or birch) syrup, enjoyed by both children and adults served either cold or hot.
- 1/2 C Oatstraw or Oat tops
- 1/4 Cup Raspberry (Rubus) Leaves or 1/8 C Sassafras Leaves
- 2 Tsp Sassafras root
- 2-3 large pinches of Rose (Rosa) petals
- small pinch of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) powder
Add ingredients to a quart jar. Cover with just boiled water and cover with airtight lid. Allow to infuse for 2 hours to overnight. Strain and enjoy.
Variation: For a stronger relaxant nervine effect, try substituting Peach (Prunus persica) leaves or Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) leaves.

Thank you for this. My GFs son is crippled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and agoraphobia which the regular medicines have not had beneficial effect. He is also depressed.
If we can get him to eat this would it help? He's 26 and a very bright likable guy. His life is completely short circuited by these conditions.
He doesn't like to take anything but his anti anxiety medicine when he has an attack which is quite frequent. He stopped taking zoloft a year ago. We began to give him vitamin D. He is taking that.
I love oatstraw! I'll have to try this blend–I usually drink a oatstraw and lemon balm blend after work. It's calming enough to help me relax from the day , but doesn't put me to sleep super early.
You always manage to dust the cobwebs off long forgotten childhood memories, Kiva. Thank you.
Mmm! I love reading about your experiences with Avena, and all the wondrous aspects to drinking this lovely, nutritive, comforting plant. I'm going to go drink some of my Oat Top infusion now!
Thank you!!! Your list of indications fit me to a T, and after nearly losing it today, this is a Godsend. I'm off to make an oatstraw infusion…
Love your website – thank you for sharing your wisdom with us !

I do not think that Junebug does not care about the truth.
I think she expresses her experience of the truth in ways that are not always comprehensible to people who only care about what they can see in facts and figures and in logic.
Her education in science appears to have come largely from the science channel, the internet and this forum, not from attending college.
Her tone is folksy.
I don't understand why so many posters find it necessary to ridicule every sentence she writes.
It is not so difficult to respond to a question and correct inaccuracies without sarcasm.
Why must everyone who admits to feelings and spirituality be scorned?

AdUpon is an Ad Network for Classified Ads (An Ad Network is a company that places ads on many web sites. A web publisher puts a small bit of code on their web site and ads start showing on their site)
We are a new company that has not had any previous creative or branding.
Although it is not required to have the A and U of AdUpon be capitalized, the creative design should suggest that the name of the company is pronounced "Ad Upon" … we do not want it pronounced "A Dupon" or "Adup On"…
The target audience is advertisers, web publishers as well as consumers. The logo should have a fun feel that is appealing to these audiences.
We expect the service to be locally oriented, easy and inexpensive. The service will allow anyone to post a classified ad that can run on the ad network. Individuals can post single ads, companies can post many ads.
The service should have a look that has been common to many web 2.0 companies.
Although not required, preference will be given to a design that incorporates a logo together with an identifiable character or symbol. For example Digg (http://www.digg.com) has a robot; Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) has a bird… We would like something too!
Since there are many different types of classified ads, we want to be careful that the logo does not suggest a certain type of product. For instance the ads that could run on the ad network could be used autos, job openings, real estate, tickets, events, travel offers, deals and coupons.
We expect the service to be locally oriented, easy and inexpensive. The service will allow anyone to post a classified ad that can run on the ad network. Individuals can post single ads, companies can post many ads.

UPDATE: On Friday, regulators voted to limit the catch of this crucial Atlantic species by 20 percent. The conservation community has celebrated this vote as an important first step towards the end of overfishing of this important little fish, the Atlantic menhaden.
Menhaden are reflective of so many other critical species of fish that need to stay in the water to "fulfill their ecological role."
To read more on Friday's vote, check out this article from The New York Times.
In the marine ecosystems from Maine to Florida, one little silver fish, the menhaden, serves as a critical food source for wildlife like whales, dolphins, sharks, eagles and even other fish like tuna, cod and striped bass.
This fish is referred to as "the most important fish in the sea" by researchers, yet overfishing is causing the overall population of menhaden to plummet at historic rates.
According to the Pew Environment Group, more menhaden are now being caught than any other fish along the Eastern seaboard, including in areas like the Chesapeake Bay where a majority of the catch comes from.
Every year, more than 410 million pounds of these fish are plucked from the Atlantic to be used in everything from fertilizer and pet food to feed for farm animals and farm-raised fish. Menhaden are also used in dietary supplements, as a high source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Studies suggest that the rapid decrease in the number of available menhaden will soon have a crippling impact on East Coast's marine food web and commercial and recreational fishing industries that fish cod and striped bass.
On December 14, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is set to cast crucial votes on the management and monitoring of menhaden fishing stocks.
Without a coast-wide catch limit, the species has little chance for recovery.
Join the conversation and show your support for menhaden by using #menhaden on Twitter and/or share this blog post with your friends on Facebook!

The new Economist/YouGov poll [1] asked its American respondents about a number of countries and asked which they considered to be allies or enemies. The good news is that there are no countries on the list that a majority considers an enemy, except for North Korea, which actually has been and continues to be one. For whatever reason, Iran was not included on the list. There are sizeable minorities that regard China and Russia as enemies, but these never rise above 20% overall. Despite some concerted mainstream conservative efforts to stir up anti-Russian animus in the last few years, even among conservatives only 20% see Russia as an enemy. Of course, that doesn't mean that Washington will not continue to take actions that Moscow finds provocative or unacceptable, but it is mildly encouraging that a relatively smaller part of the population has been affected by nearly two decades of mistreating Russia and at least a decade of grossly exaggerating the threat that a "resurgent" Russia might pose.
The more remarkable result is the very low percentage of respondents saying that Israel is an ally (39.4%). We hear quite often that U.S. Israel policy is the way it is and Washington provides the support to Israel that it does because of broad and deep public support for Israel, but as I keep saying U.S. foreign policy is not automatically or directly guided by public sympathies and sentiments. Broad support might exist, but it would not be why policy is made in a certain way. On the other hand, policy might not align with the views of the majority, but that probably isn't going to lead to a change in policy. I have discussed this a few [2] times [3] already [4], but I don't think this point can be emphasized enough. If a vast majority supported U.S. Israel policy, the support of a vast majority would not be why the policy is the way it is. More likely, that support would be a result of accepting an existing policy that political leaders and the media have affirmed is good and necessary. Likewise, if a large majority did not agree that Israel is a U.S. ally, as YouGov says they do not, that would not necessarily ever translate into a change in U.S. support of and protection for Israel. Foreign policy is remarkably well-insulated from shifts in public opinion, and public opinion typically follows the government's lead on any major initiatives overseas. More to the point, people in this 39.4% who say that Israel is an ally (and especially the 51.1% of Republicans who say this) tend to be more interested, engaged and involved than those who do not.
Even though this 39.4% do not outnumber those who do not agree, they vastly outweigh them in influence. Just 31% of people belonging to the majority party say that Israel is an ally, but it is a certainty that the White House, the party leadership in both houses and the overwhelming majority of Democratic members in Congress will continue to represent the view of this distinct minority within their own party. On a more practical level, the majority that disagrees with this position does not necessarily have any specific policy preferences that unite them, and there is no organization of any consequences that represents such a view. Affirming that another country is an ally recommends certain obvious moves, but taking a different view does not easily translate into a policy agenda.
For that matter, almost all American critics of certain aspects of the U.S.-Israel relationship accept that Israel is and will continue to be an ally, so even most of the critics are aligned with this 39% minority. The majority is basically completely unrepresented in our political debate on this question. Perhaps there are even good reasons for this, and perhaps it doesn't matter, but it might be worth acknowledging that this is so.

98 North Washington St., Suite 500
Boston, MA 02114
Administrative Magistrate:
Kimberly A. Fletcher, Esq.
On March 21, 2007, the Board of Registration in Medicine ("Board") issued a Statement of Allegations against Marc Freedman, M.D. alleging that he fraudulently obtained his license to practice medicine by providing false information to the Board (Ex. 1). On that same date, the Board referred the matter to the Division of Administrative Law Appeals. On April 6, 2007, Dr. Freedman filed an answer to the Statement of Allegations (Ex. 2).
On November 19, 2007, I held a hearing at the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston. I admitted 13 exhibits at the hearing. Rose Foss, Anne Vacca and Dr. Freedman testified. There is a one-volume transcript of the hearing.
On November 29, 2007, the Respondent offered a copy of his schedule for November 3, 2003 and an affidavit of Attorney Mario Patalano. On December 6, 2007, the Board moved to keep the record open for the presentation of rebuttal evidence. No such evidence was received. The record closed on December 14, 2007 with the submission of post-hearing memoranda.
Post-hearing, I marked Dr. Freedman's schedule for November 3, 2003 as Ex. 14 and the affidavit of Attorney Patalano as Ex. 15.

31. On January 9, 2006, Dr. Freedman filed his renewal application with the Board. He responded "yes" to question 17(a), "Have you ever been charged with any criminal offense during this time period?" He answered "no" to question 17(b), "Are there any criminal charges pending against you today?" He answered "yes" to question 17(c), "Have any criminal offenses/charges against you been resolved during this time period?" (Ex. 13).
32. On January 19, 2006, Rose Foss, the Director of Licensing at the Board, wrote to Dr. Freedman asking for copies of certain documents regarding the criminal proceeding (Ex. 13).
33. Dr. Freedman provided the requested information (Ex. 13 and T-22).
34. As a matter of routine, since there was an affirmative answer to question 17, Ms. Foss forwarded the information to the Board's enforcement division (T-18).
Conclusion and Recommendation
The Board of Registration in Medicine has not met its burden of showing that Dr. Freedman fraudulently procured his renewal registration when he filed his renewal application on January 2, 2004.
There is no dispute that Dr. Freedman incorrectly answered in the negative to question 17 that asked, "Have you been charged with any criminal offense?" The fact that Dr. Freedman made a mistake does not equate with fraud. The Board has not shown that he knowingly made a false statement.
Dr. Freedman testified credibly that when he completed his renewal application in December 2003, he was not aware that there was any criminal matter pending against him; he believed he had answered question 17 accurately. I had the opportunity to observe his demeanor and I believed him.
For the first date in criminal court, July 1, 2003, Dr. Freedman testified credibly that he was at his South Carolina home on vacation with his children. It is true that Attorney Patalano's first affidavit, Ex. 7, avers that Dr. Freedman was present at the Woburn District Court on July 1, 2003. This affidavit was apparently prepared at the beginning of November 2007, about four years after the date at issue, and I believe that Attorney Patalano was mistaken about Dr. Freedman's presence. On November 28, 2007, Attorney Patalano signed another affidavit, Ex. 15, stating that he had no memory of whether Dr. Freedman was present at the November 3, 2003 pre-trial conference.
It is also true that Attorney Patalano filed an appearance with the Woburn District Court on September 4, 2003 wherein he states, "I've discussed this matter with my client…" But it is certainly possible that Attorney Patalano discussed the matter with his client without Dr. Freedman understanding that he faced criminal charges.
The fact that in September 2005 Dr. Freedman told Board staff that he thought the matter was a misdemeanor also does not change the outcome of this case. A layperson can believe that something is a misdemeanor without knowing it to be criminal. Furthermore, by September 2005, Dr. Freedman had known for a year and a half that the matter was criminal and this knowledge may have influenced his discussions with the Board staff.
In her written closing argument, Board counsel characterized Dr. Freedman's testimony as being self-serving and contradictory and argued that he had faulty and/or selective memory. I had a very different impression of his testimony. I found him to be a highly credible witness with good recall, especially considering the difficult personal situation he was going through during 2003.
Based on the foregoing, I recommend that the Statement of Allegations be dismissed.

Colette Rodgers, Community School of Music and Arts development director, raises funds for the program.
Colette Rodgers has proven repeatedly that hard work, determination and passion can realize hard-to-reach goals. The Champaign, Ill., native raised her two younger brothers on her own, but that challenge did not deter her from acceptance into Harvard and Stanford universities, where she majored in civil engineering.
Rodgers' new challenge is raising money for the Community School of Music and Arts in Mountain View. The nonprofit organization's development director since September, Rodgers keeps busy retaining the support of the school's current donors while soliciting contributions from new ones.
"Any given day, we have two or three grants due," she said. "There's a lot of meetings, research and strategizing."
Founded in 1968, the school offers a wide range of arts education, reaching more than 40,000 people of all ages annually. The school offers lessons, classes, camps and workshops in music, visual and new media arts, as well as free concerts, exhibitions and special cultural events. School officials claim that CSMA is the region's largest school of its kind.
Fundraising for CSMA is a demanding job, but Rodgers sees her role as contributing to the cause of a strong arts school and its excellent staff.
"I was surprised at the (efforts of) the staff and what they bring to the table," she said. "People always produce well and give their all. When I feel passion from the staff, it's easier to do the job."
Rodgers' history makes clear her desire to help others and her refusal to back down from challenges. She volunteered and worked at the National Urban League. She started an afterschool program that taught youth skills and helped them find work in the construction industry. When the federal government pulled funding for the program, Rodgers raised the money herself to keep it afloat.
As for goals in her current position, Rodgers said she would like to see more CSMA outreach to schools in low-income areas.
"Kids are not getting access (to the arts)," she said.

"I wanted it to portray Love in on a small scale... just like in a human heart there is a space for a huge feeling. I chose to alter two tiny pieces of dominos and made a domino book. This tiny token of love can be carried in a pocket all the time!"
Feeling inspired? I hope so! These makes are fabulous and would get anyone excited! You have a whole month to join us with the challenge! If you join you could with a £20 voucher from That's Crafty!

We collect several types of information from and about users of the Service, including:
- PII you provide to us when you register for the Service or thereafter, such as your name and email address;

User Sharing via TripCase
TripCase allows you, as a user, to take actions to share information regarding your trip with other TripCase users, your mobile phone contacts, or via various social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). The sharing process enables you to share a particular item of content, on an individual basis, to these third party services or other TripCase users by using the share functionality in the Service. Please note that sharing of such content on a third party service may be posted as activity on the Service, regardless of your account settings. To share an individual item of content to a third party service, you'll be prompted to enter your access credentials for that third party service. TripCase may store your name, e-mail address, and an access token or similar credentials obtained from the third party service, so that you are able to share particular items of content, on that third party service, on an individual basis, without entering your access credentials again.
When you choose to allow others to follow your trips by allowing access to your contacts via your mobile phone, those chosen will be notified of your trip via e-mail and given the chance to set up their own TripCase account, if they do not already have one of their own. Once they have set up their account, your trip will show up in that user's Following section on TripCase. Anyone who is following your trips will be able to see any changes to your itinerary, if your flight is delayed, etc. If you choose to always share with any other TripCase users, they will be notified of every trip and its details until you remove them from that feature.
If you connect to the Service using credentials of a third party Social Networking Site ("SNS") such as Facebook or Twitter, you authorize us to collect your authentication information, such as your name, e-mail address, and encrypted access credentials. We may store this information so that it can be used for the purposes explained in this statement, and it may also be used to verify your credentials with the SNS.

Location-Based Services
To provide location-based services to mobile application users of the Service, the Company or our partners may collect and use precise location data, such as the real-time geographic location of your device. This location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you and is used by the Company and our partners to provide location-based products and services. We treat this location data as non-PII.
TripCase also utilizes your location information in order to allow you to add information regarding your trip (e.g. a particular venue) to your TripCase itinerary for future reference by you for viewing by those TripCase users that are following that particular trip, including your employer and travel agency should you designate your trip as business-related.

You may access, correct or delete your contact information and preferences through your TripCase account. For other PII, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if the Company is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Data Security
We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your PII from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Any content, including PII, that you contribute to be shared, published or displayed on the Service, or transmitted to other users of the Service, either via the Service or via social networking or other third party sites available through the Service, is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them.

All disputes shall be finally settled under the International Dispute Resolution Procedures of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, Safe Harbor Program by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Procedures.

Those of you who attend WisCon probably already know that they are seeking program ideas. For those who have never attended WisCon before, it is a Feminist Science Fiction Convention held each May in Madison, Wisconsin. I went for the first time last year, and met many of the GF bloggers there for the first time, not to mention many of our regular commenters. It was a great experience, and one I look forward to repeating this year. If you've never been to an SF convention before, I can recommend this one to first-timers.
Anyway! My point! I had one!
Program suggestions close on the 22nd. What are you going to suggest? Got any half-formed ideas you'd like to bounce around? Do any of the geek feminist events of 2009 suggest panels? And the most important question: GF Party Y/Y?

- Department of Biology - Research Opportunities
An estimated 90% of graduating students work with faculty on research programs. Encouraging this kind of participation is what allows the department to publish between 20 to 25 scholarly journals each year.
As an IPFW biology major, you will have an opportunity with many of your classes to apply what is taught in class in a laboratory environment. The skills and experience that you will garner from working in our laboratories will prove essential for future employment or further schooling. Laboratories in all of the major disciplines of Biology will allow the student to experience the application side of Genetics, Ecology, Microbiology, and Physiology – just to name a few.
Lab sizes are smaller than most lecture classes to allow for maximum assistance from the professors to each of the students. Because most of the labs run congruent with its affiliated lecture class, you will get to experience the concepts you are currently studying as real, dynamic phenomenon.
The laboratory exercises in themselves are a mix of individual and group work. This gives students the broadest possible experience in how to work and succeed in the laboratory environment (something that will serve many students well after they have graduated). Many exercises will also involve a student write up, polishing your scientific writing abilities and allowing you the chance to reveal what insights you have gained from the exercises.
We have a 9,000 square foot AAALAC approved animal facility that provides housing for different species of experimental animals and also contains an animal surgical suite and five research laboratories. We also have a new state of the art greenhouse and associated head house attached to our new science building.
Field Stations
In addition to the many well-equipped laboratories on campus, biology students also have access to facilities at Crooked Lake Biological Field Station in northeastern Indiana.
IPFW's biology department offers both undergraduate and graduate students the tools and equipment necessary to further their understanding of the world around them.
The laboratories in the new Science Building contain all of the latest cutting edge gear that would be found in any modern corporate research facilities. Students will have the opportunity to use a Polymerase Chain Reaction apparatus to study genes. Physiological phenomena are recorded and studied on computers in another lab. Students in the microbiology lab will identify one of the numerous bacteria that we stock with the use of multiple testing techniques.

That was the lede sentence in a commentary in Our Sunday Visitor by Greg Erlandson. Headlined "Advent on the Precipice," Erlandson recalls the "Black Friday" death of a Wal-Mart employee trampled by onrushing bargain-hunters and notes the importance of getting beyond the consumerist mentality of the season — especially at a time when the economy is in a freefall — and focusing on what's at stake for us this month spiritually.
Also writing on the same theme was Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli of Paterson, N.J., in his diocesan newspaper, The Beacon. The headline on his column: "Advent: Black Friday Turned Inside Out."

There's a few catchas users should be aware of when using this browser.
Add-ons and Themes.
You won't be using this browser for long before you will want to download one or more add-ons...
The option to do so is found in the 'Tools' menu, 'Add-ons' item.
Click ONLY ONCE on the 'Get Extensions' or 'Get Themes' link at the bottom of the page.
Then minimize or close the dialog to bring you back to the normal browser window. you'll find that it is already loading the correct site in a new Tabbed window. (The first time I tried, I clicked on the 'Get Extensions' link, and nothing seemed to happen... So I clicked again... Seems the browser can handle quite a few windows)
So far I have these Add-ons installed:
(In addition to the defaults)
Fast Video Download - For downloading videos since YouTube doesn't seem to work on this machine...
Zombie Keys - To get accented keys for text entry in webforms.
If anyone have good suggestions I'll add them here:

_Data recovery using dd_rescue_
So a few weeks ago I had my /home partition [on reiserfs] refusing to mount at boot due
to filesystem inconsistencies. While I have managed to solve that problem without being
required to rescue my data, it struck me that there should be readily available information
regarding this topic. And so it got to me to write this short tutorial.
You have a corrupted partition. It doesn not matter that the respective disk cannot be saved,
as long as the data can be retrieved, or at least as much as possible. No incremental backups
or anything of the sort exist. A raw read is required.
For the purposes of this tutorial I have recovered the /boot partition for one of my boxes.
While it was not corrupted in any way I have treated the recovery process as if it were.
Computer [sic]
Helix v1.6 LiveCD - it comes with dd_rescue preinstalled as it is a Linux LiveCD
distribution aimed at forensics and data recovery; however any would work - possibly even
the OS that is already installed if there are partitions working still. To note, Helix
does not touch anything on the guest computer. To get just the program: dd_rescue URL
USB Memory Stick - used for data transfer; another drive or partition could work just as well.
Process for Recovery
1. Pop in Helix on boot time on the computer that has the corrupted drive. You can plug in the USB
stick at the same time as it will be detected automatically and an entry will be made in /etc/fstab
2. Just hit Enter at the main screen for Helix and let it boot up and do its thing. Eventually you
will arrive in the Helix main graphical window [on XFCE].
3. From the XFCE menu [bottom left by default] go and select one of the terminals that you are most
comfortable with and open it.
4. Do the following:
In a nutshell, you are switching to root [no password], identifying exactly how Helix detectedCode:$ su # cat /etc/fstab # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 # dd_rescue /dev/hda1 /mnt/sda1/hda1.rescue
the USB stick and mounting this under /mnt/sda1. Then the basic dd_rescue syntax will copy the content
of /dev/hda1 to the file hda1.rescue on the USB stick. Of course you should replace hda1 with the
partition name you want to recover and sda1 with the name of the USB stick.
It pays to notice that if you simply refer to the USB stick [say, /mnt/sda1/] then the filesystem will
be transferred on the root of the stick. What this will result in is converting the file system to
whatever the rcovered partition was originally [in my case, ext2]. To get back to FAT you will need to
reformat the drive in a Windows machine, and this would be a bit of a hassle for some [of course, if
you only need the USB stick across Linux machines that would not matter]. That is why I recommend
copying to a file which can then be mounted:
on a working machine. You can now navigate the files without any problems whatsoever. Please noteCode:mount -t ext2 -o loop /dev/sda1/hda1.rescue /mnt/rescue/
that ext2 is the type of filesystem that my partition had; sometimes you will need to do some trial and
error until you get the write one [-t auto might help if Linux manages to read the superblock]
Additional Notes
1. Helix will mark your USB stick as read-only in /etc/fstab. You could either edit that line using vi or
manually mount the drive as shown above.
2. dd_rescue does not care what kind of partition you're recovering; it pays to know what it is, however,
for when you are mounting it.
3. Complete options are available from
orCode:man dd_rescue
Generally the simple method should work [faster or slower depending on how corrupt the partition is]Code:dd_rescue -h
but in case you only want to copy bits or parts of the drive you can use -s to set the start position
in the input file [the drive to be recovered] and could combine this with -r which reads in reverse.
4. One switch which could be useful in the case of many errors on the drive would be -l
which will log things. This could be useful in generating a file containing the list of badblocks
[required by some fsck tools like the ones for reiserfs]
The partition I have recovered was in good condition. That is to say, no errors where encountered on read.
The point where this might make a difference is when it comes to mounting the saved file as it could have
numerous holes in it. However additional damage to the data with more possible loss would not incur. I
believe that dd_rescue should be a first step once a disk seems to show signs of damage.

I hope you chose to go into the profession for other reasons than money????If this was your main motivator, you won't last long.

No it's not my main motivator. Unfortunately though, money is a necessity to life - it comes in very handy when it's time to pay the bills.. So, whatever I chose I would like to be able to support myself and family with and be somewhat comfortable. Money isn't everything, but if this paid only 15,000 a year I doubt you or many other people would jump through the hoops to become a perfusionist.. I've shadowed, and questioned some perfusionist. I like the work, just want to make sure it's worth the return on investment for school..
Thank you for the brow beating, would you happen to have e a decent answer to offer as well, or only lessons of morality?

Why are you so defensive about somebody making sure your motives are correct for entering the field of perfusion. I suspect oldcpbman has been around in the field of perfusion a long time as I have. We have seen many people come and go. Many thought they were starting a career that was going to pay loads of money with little work or responsibility. If you think he was brow beating you or giving lessons on morality you appear to have some attitude problems. Wait until a surgeon screams and yells at you for something that is neither you fault nor your responsibility. I believe that one of the problems with the field of perfusion is that we as a profession have not stuck together to share information, improve patient care, promote 'good' perfusion, and to help weed out people who have no business behind a pump. There are perfusionists, and there are 'pump techs'. Which one are you? I hope you are one who wants to stick together with other perfusionists in learning and sharing information for the good of the whole profession. As far as the salary range goes, there are many things that influence that. Geographical location, type of employment, ie: hospital employed, private contract group, surgeon employed, university vs community hospital, etc. As bloodman shared earlier, a starting range of $60,000.00 to $80,000.00 total employment package is as good as an estimate as any. Where you go from there is up to you. Good luck to you. Don't be afraid to take criticism and encouragement from us old timers. We too want what is best for the perfusion profession. Especially people who are in it for the right reasons.

Understandable. I as most people don't like for others to make assumptions based on limited knowledge. Such as me being in it for the right reasons. I suppose that's why I'm on this site, trying to gain insight from those who have been there before, so that I do not make incorrect assumptions.
Right now I'm finishing up the last of some postbac pre reqs. I'm a 26 yr old adult student who has decided I no long want to work in marketing, I want something more challenging and somewhat more purposefull to wake up to and do for the rest of my life.
I've been doing a lot of reasearch on perfusion and I do like it. Also, from what I hear the pay is decent, as well as the 1 yr certification, so that I can begin to build a life and careeer as soon as possible.
So far I've narrowed it down to this or trying for an anesthisia assistant program.
$60 to 80$ is not too bad. I've looked on other sites (salary.com) and they list the AVG to be about 96,000 for perfusionist as a whole.. I could live with that. I'm also continueing to shadow to make sure that this is defenitely what I want.
I appreciate all and any insight available. I just don't like when someones first reaction is negativity.

Unfortunately he has a point here. Your not exactly the low man on the totem pole and your working in a hot arena most of the time dealing with many egos. I have frequently observed many veterans and rookies try to take advantage of many well meaning and intentioned newbies for the sake of money, etc. We are in the business of caring for our fellow man and we deserved to be reimbursed justly. It can be the case that employers are looking for the bottom dollar rather than talent. You also cannot expect hospital adminitstration to back you up when you have to deal with an unreasonable or tempestous or abusive surgeon or anesthesiologist.- your downhill... I have tried to mentor a few individuals only to have them focus on the money and not the goal. If you want to make a lot of mullah, find another field...

It's weird that salary.com says 108k yet the jobs ads you see are only like 30-40$/hr. In fact it's so rare for me (maybe just for me?) to find ads that offer more than 45$/hr.
How much can you expect after gaining experience in the field? Say after 5 years?

The first audit of the new Alabama Athletic Commission revealed a number and instances of noncompliance, the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts said Friday.
MONTGOMERY | The first audit of the new Alabama Athletic Commission revealed a number and instances of noncompliance, the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts said Friday.
Findings include untimely deposits of receipts, "a condition that unnecessarily increases the risk of loss or misuse of state funds," the audit said.
The audit said that a sample of 19 payments was checked.
"Deposit times for the 19 payments ranged from 15 weekdays to 101 weekdays," the audit said. "The average amount of time from receipt to deposit for the sample was 54 days."
The commission issued a permit or license six times to applicants who did not pay the correct fee and there was no record of showing underpayment, the audit said. Overpayments were credited against future license fees but should have been refunded, the audit said.
The law creating an Alabama Boxing Commission was passed in 2009 after Tuscaloosa amateur boxer Deontay Wilder's medal win in the 2008 Olympics.
Wilder turned pro, creating a need for a commission to schedule sanctioned fights in Alabama. The commission's name was changed in 2010 to the Alabama Athletic Commission and mixed martial arts fighting was added to the regulations.
The audit said that a sample of 11 licenses included six that did not have documentation that requirements had been met.
The commission also did not always comply with notice requirements of the Alabama Open Meetings Act, the audit said, and the commission did not ensure that licensees were U.S. citizens or were lawfully present in the U.S.
"The commission shall issue a license under this section only if the applicant is a citizen of the United States or, if not a citizen of the United States, a person who is legally present in the United States with appropriate documentation from the federal government," the audit said.
"The commission has taken no action to determine if its licensees comply with this requirement," it said.
The audit covered Oct. 1, 2009, to Sept. 30, 2011. During the audit period, the executive director was Keith Warren. Warren, who is no longer the executive director, could not be reached for comment.
Commission member Casey Sears had no comment.

Tulisa bans sex tape lover Justin Edwards from Celebrity Big Brother
TULISA Contostavlos has banned her love-rat ex Justin Edwards from appearing on Celebrity Big Brother.
He's absolutely livid. The matter with Tulisa is over and it should not stop him building his own TV career
The DJ was lined up to star in the new series of the show next month.
But he has had to pull out because he has been gagged by a clause in legal papers Tulisa imposed on him.
The 28-year-old was last night said to be seething as he felt the move had ruined his hopes of restarting his career.
But Tulisa's ITV bosses are delighted, especially after The X Factor's ratings fall.
A source said: "Justin would have been TV dynamite."
Justin lost a High Court battle with Tulisa, 24, who took legal action when a sex tape of them was put online.
Justin initially claimed it was not him that leaked the saucy video, and insisted she made him film their antics.
But after a court scrap he finally admitted he was the culprit. Tulisa's injunction banned him from ever speaking about the incident.
Part of the gagging order forbids him from appearing on any reality show. The singer feared that Justin would have spilled too many secrets about her if he went in the spy house.
And she knew his housemates would not waste any time probing him. Justin, who performs as MC Ultra, met Tulisa when she was 17 and they dated for several years until 2009.
She is trying to convince Simon Cowell, 53, to keep her on The X Factor and sees any more talk about her sex life as a risk to her TV career. Meanwhile Justin was licking his wounds.
A TV insider said: "He's absolutely livid. The matter with Tulisa is over and it should not stop him building his own TV career."
CELEBS have urged people to sign up for the new series of Big Brother next summer.
Ex-housemates Julian Clary, 53, Coleen Nolan, 47, and Martin Kemp, 51, told fans to audition on a 90-second clip uploaded to bigbrotherauditions.com.

Google Nexus 7 review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Google, Handhelds, Product Reviews,
Google unveiled the Nexus 7 tablet at Google I/O 2012 (watch the keynote here,) making it the very first device to launch with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Many were waiting for Google to compete directly in the tablet space, and the 7-inch Nexus 7 is the answer. The specs show that it's a powerhouse, and the sales have been off the charts, resulting in the 16 GB Nexus 7 being sold out briefly (it's back now.) Still, many consumers have the iPad on their mind when thinking about tablets, regardless of how hard companies like Amazon and Google are pushing their alternatives. Does the Nexus 7 have a place in the marketplace, meeting needs that other tablets can't? Join us in our full review as we explore Google's first tablet.
