"The contemporary architect must be aware of the myriad forces shaping urban reality. Through his or her professional performance, intellect, and research, he or she navigates and works with these complex forces to direct the shape of the built environment. The time for universal urban models—totalizing utopian visions—may be over, but the need for new strategies for the city is no less acute. In this globalized era characterized by rapid transformations of the built environment, it is critical for architects to develop their consciousness of the complexities of the contemporary world. In order to equip a new generation of architects to develop new strategies, architectural education must strive to produce new and in-depth knowledge of the forces that drive development."

2017-2018 CLOUD STUDIOS Metropolitan Waterfronts for Housing the New Generation of Millennials
"What sort of prosperity is this that we should foster and maintain? Not that for rich people solely or principally, for they can take care of themselves, but the prosperity of those who must have enjoyment in order to live."
Daniel Burnham-architect, businessman and benefactor, author of the 1909 city plan, organizer of the World Columbian Exposition of 1893, and father of Chicago's lakefront.
"Eventually, I think that Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the modern world"
Frank Lloyd Wright, London lecture, 1939, in The Future of Architecture, Horizon Press.
"Architecture and the language of architecture–platform, blueprint, structure–became almost the preferred language for indicating a lot of phenomenon that we're facing from Silicon Valley. They took over our metaphors, and it made me think that regardless of our speed, which is too slow for Silicon Valley, we can perhaps think of the modern world maybe not always in the form of buildings but in the form of knowledge or organization and structure and society that we can offer and provide."
Rem Koolhaas: "Architecture Has a Serious Problem Today"
The Cloud Studio is a design based research studio focused on investigating the complex forces that shape the built environment and proposing new strategies for urban development. The Cloud Studio program explores housing programs as different urban habitats in search for new models for densifying cities while rethinking an individual and collective metropolitan experiences. High-density housing with mixed used additional programs should fulfill social demands for contemporary modes of living, new working conditions, advanced learning, consumption and leisure time.
The creation of the new urban habitats should address the emerging generations of urban dwellers. The new generation of Millennials, also known as Generation Y are the demographic cohort that directly follows Generation X and are fundamentally influencing the "production of social realities" in Lefebvrian sense in global metropolis. Neil Howe and William Strauss, authors of the 1991 bookGenerations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069,define the Millennial cohort as consisting of individuals born between 1982 and 2004.
Millennials grew up in an electronics-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked world, and represent the urban population on the move with pressing housing needs. Among "local" millennials we can find migrant workers, expats, economic or political refugees, temporary scholars, exchange students, mobile workforce……
Millennials are a generation that not only can't afford to buy a house, but also doesn't want to. The labor market is volatile and unpredictable – forcing Millennials to move in the search of work, seeking education and safety.
Cloud studios should question what kind of design of urban habitat can offer assistance to populations on the move? Urban population experience the collapse of segregated activities into a single integrated and fluid lifestyle, since we can't any moredescribe the urban life as 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of leisure. The question to be answered is what is an appropriate spatial diagram to house this new way of life?
Cloud studios should investigate the metropolitan waterfronts as location for development of urban habitats where the workplace and the home collapse into a hybrid unit and a more social, community-based model blurs formerly distinct urban districts and landscapes.
City of Chicago lakefront represent a dynamic and fluid edge condition where changes to the shore began almost as soon as the city was founded.
In many ways, the Lake Michigan shore created and shaped Chicago, and it continues to be the city most defining physical feature.
At the far north and south ends of the city, natural forces may still determine the shape of some beaches, but the city development has radically altered most of its shoreline.
The renowned Columbian Exposition of 1893 reshaped the land of the southern shore and created Jackson Harbor. The ambitious Burnham plan of 1909 reimaged the lakefront as monumental civic sculptural landscape completed with parks, lagoons, canals, islands, and promenades. Chicago lake front today is nothing more than an updated version of Turnham's dream for the lake front.
The sites for Cloud studios at Chicago lakefront should be selected in a relation with current initiatives of development of mixed used future districts, at and in relation with lakeshore. Complementary sites in other metropolitan areas, can be selected for design based studio research in Spring semester; creating a critical comparative model of waterfront developments.
The work of the Cloud studios 2017/18 will be presented at the Open House exhibition in May 2018. To paraphrase Koolhaas, the work should ideally represent an architectural disciplinary contribution to form of knowledge and organization and structure of the future metropolitan society.

Sustainable Vertical Urbanism: Towards 2050
Dr. Peng Du & Dr. Antony Wood
Planet Earth's future in 2050 seems doomed. It has been foretold since the beginning of the 21st Century that cities will no longer be able to be self-sustainable in a planet with a changed climate. The consequences of such changes have created unbearable conditions for human in large urban areas. As if it wasn't enough, population patterns have radically changed. Disproportion in between the urban population and those in rural areas has created a terrible economic inequality. Cities have also changed; monotonous and dull cities have been created due to the lack of understanding and relevance of vernacular architecture, and globalization has turned cities into generic wastelands.
The answer to these conditions relies in abandoning cities and creating new ones in regions which need to be proved sustainable and free from natural disasters. Through two semesters, students will have to come up with a new typology of a vertical city for several of the planet's diverse ecosystems. To complement the research, students will travel to the CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) 2017 International Conference at Sydney, Australia. There students will have the chance to explore different approaches to this research by analyzing case study projects.
The final product will be presented using physical and digital models of the designs, as well as an article to be published at the CTBUH website. Projects will have the opportunity to be submitted to the CTBUH 2018 Student Design Competition.
Strategies for IIT and its Neighborhood
Dirk Denison
A campus, a master plan, and a neighborhood, are elements of contemporary urban architecture. Together, these elements become rich places; places with soul and personality where people can dwell, enjoy learning, and have a happy life.
The Bronzeville district possesses great cultural and historic heritage. Its location just South of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan provides excellent ground for a variety of phenomena that have created a singular environment. The potential of a site such as this could infinite. This Studio will focus on the research of historical and modern contexts of IIT's Mies Campus, located inside Bronzeville.
Students will develop a mixed-used project and will analyze its potential influence in its immediate surroundings. Through analysis of contemporary case study, students will continue to explore the development of IIT's campus, giving continuity to a research started by SANAA and will be introduced to the 2017 Chicago Biennale of Architecture.
Waterform Building
Martin Felsen
In the past, architecture has tried to develop ideas and concepts that would enable humans to address a wide variety of programs, both known and unknown, inside a single structure. These prototypes or Hybrid structures provided architects with future-like solutions to the problems of the contemporary metropolis. Exploring these concepts has become essential to the understanding of architecture and its ability to confront the different realities of cities across the globe.
Chicago, a city intertwined with Lake Michigan and its rivers, must respond to this context where water plays a major role in its daily activities. A new network of water transports called Vaporetto needs to serve the city's need for communication while providing ground for urban experimentation. Students will create a series of interconnected transportation hubs envisioned to support the needs of a global city like Chicago and that also provide the city's actual urban grid with new ways of interacting with the water within the city. This research will be held alongside different actors, such as government, industry experts, and professors; enriched by conferences, exhibitions, and research trips.
The product of this studio and research will be a series of projects which must be done by thinking "outside the box", provide solutions for the Vaporetto water transportation network, and make a dialogue between the density of the city and the endless possibilities of water in the city of Chicago.
Millennial developments at the waterfront to regenerate the river
SOM - Jorge Rovira
The Chicago River waterfront was once the place that allowed the 19th and early 20th Century Chicago to expand its industries. As time went on, the factories left the site leaving the river to have a set of endless possibilities. New developments have arrived at the site but some have neglected the potential of such an important natural element at the city downtown. These have contributed to the segregation of the city's neighborhoods and the creation of conflict around opposite banks of the river. A new generation of dwellers (Millennials) see the city in a different way, therefore development must also respond to a new generation of urban citizens.
The Studio aims to create projects alongside the river that provide solutions to this new context. Students will be encouraged to promote the creation of mixed used developments, public spaces, and ecological features that interact with the river beside them. Projects should also aim to use the river as a mean to unite the city's neighborhoods and end segregation through the use of landscaping, innovative design, public oriented urbanism, and multidiscipline architecture.
The students will need to periodically visit the site where their projects will take place. They will work with SOM partners, often working at SOM headquarters in downtown Chicago.
Making Metropolis: Rivers and Rails
Steve Brubaker
When cities were created, they placed themselves close to means of transportation of goods and people. Trading routes were placed on the outskirts of urban areas, and as time went on, cities grew to the point where trading routes were now placed in privileged positions inside the metropolis. These "urban accidents" are now sites for research and development since cities are becoming denser and their development demands building near metropolitan cores.
Studio will work on projects in both Los Angeles and Chicago during a year period and address issues of how metropolis should be developed. Close interaction with Chicago's riverfront and a trip to Los Angeles will enable the understanding of the conditions each site has to offer. Each city provides a unique and completely different background for analysis and design; therefore, projects will have to carefully understand the site they were given, its history, and its connection to the streets and neighbourhoods. Understanding of the human scale is vital to allow projects to be connected to users
The Space in Between
Christopher Groesbeck & Monika Thadhani
The metropolis has alienated public and private architecture. A gap in between them has historically been able to connect both and create spaces of interaction. New opportunities and challenges to the city appeared as consequence of technological development. These developments have transformed society into isolated beings seeking for interaction in an urban environment that denies such opportunities.
The Studio will research amongst historical documents and case studies to analyse the site called "The Gateway" between Chicago's South Loop and Burnham Park. An interdisciplinary approach to this context will ensure the ecological, economical, and social viability of projects that aim to work in the gap between the public and private spaces. The projects will have to rethink metropolis and communities working on thresholds; the in-between of the public and private space. Conferences with different experts and a study trip overseas is required to provide enough data for its analysis and use in the project.
TU Delft - Winy Maas, Felix Madrazo, Stavros Gargaretas
John Manaves
Wealth distribution patterns dictate unequal space distribution. Creating skyrocketing land values, space has turned into a precious commodity. (Space) Much of today's architecture creates spaces which are unused most of the day. (Time) This happens at all scales, from the housing unit to the neighborhood. Since technology has blurred the line in between software and architecture, it has provided architecture with new capabilities. These new technologies have the potential to be used in architecture to create dynamic structures which respond to time. Thanks to these achievements, cities would be able to use less space and still have more dense environments. With dynamic programs in different structures, architecture will physically adapt to the desires and needs of its users.
Studio research will focus on the design of a new architecture; one that adapts to the spatial demands of the user depending on the time of the day: Buildings that compress and expand to make way for other needs, different uses, and different activities within the same space. The research will focus on housing units that can accommodate different users with different needs at different times. Students will have to select technologies that best suit such concepts, and that enable the project to adapt in real-time.
The students will generate a journal-like book to evaluate the development and performance of their projects. Dynamic physical models and user briefs will have to be manufactured upon completion. The students will work simultaneously with students at TU Delft in the Netherlands.
Temporal Inhabitations
Lluís Ortega
New generations are becoming nomads of the globalized world. This phenomenon is a wakeup call for cities around the world to adapt and change as fast as possible. Until now cities have been unable to match the speed of these changes. New models for nomad life rely on the historical precedent of the hotel. The concept of a nomad-user building must be created, and the interior spaces it creates emphasize the nature of the new proto-city; a city that focuses its uniqueness in the infinite possibilities of the interior rather than follow generic patterns of design for shells.
Studio will abstract history to create hotel and landscape hybrid interiors for a project to be designed in a site close to Barcelona for the first semester. The studio will work alongside Torcuato Di Tella University in Buenos Aires, and the result of their research will be discussed periodically. On the second semester, the studio will use what was learned in the first project and will work in a similar fashion for a site in Chicago; Goose Island. Research will be meticulously documented for its use among students when designing interior spaces. "Interionomy as a subfield of Architecture"
Pezo von Ellrichshausen
The relationship between humans, architecture, and water is explored through analysis of diverse sources of water. The poetics of such vital element have coexisted with its dynamic/static properties. Studio will focus on such properties to create a project alongside Chicago's lakeshore. Work from students should reflect a careful and extensive research though drawing, physical models, and complex analytic geometry.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
The last few weeks have been terrific! Teachers are actively engaging students in learning and students are thriving in their classes. The teachers of advanced level programs are challenging our kids with rigorous and thought-provoking lessons and the students are stepping up to the plate by studying and participating in extracurricular activities. The 9th & 10th Grade Cohort group teachers are meeting and collaboratively planning, the SGA and Class Councils are preparing for an awesome Homecoming Week, and our drama and dance rehearsals have begun. When you visit, you will see fabulous art work around the building and the technology education department is off and running with robotics and Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Students in world language classes are involved in scavenger hunts and learning new vocabulary each day while the math teachers are busily enlightening minds and teaching students how to access their grades and course information on Canvas. The English students are already analyzing literature and adding works to their writing folders, and science teachers can be seen taking students outside for activities and conducting labs that fascinate the kids. In social studies, students are finding relevance to historical events and researching ways in which government impacts their lives while students in PE and Health are learning about healthy habits of mind through exercise and nutrition. Nutrition is also important to the students in culinary science who are finding ways to create healthy and tasty meals; and the students who are in Child Development and interested in becoming future teachers are working with our pre-school program. Our special educators who co-teach with general educators are spending numerous hours planning lessons to facilitate student success and collaborating on best practices in teaching. All staff members are busy and working incredibly hard to ensure success for all of our kids!
As I stated numerous times, it is through the partnership with the parents and parent organizations that we nurture our students and staff. Thus, the parent groups started meeting and are already engaged in fundraising and program implementation. Thank you to the Boosters for supporting all of the extracurricular activities at MRHS, and thank you to the Music Foundation for supporting the music staff and students with time, energy, and tremendous passion. I also want to thank our Mustang African-American Parent Organization, the Korean Parent Organization and the newly created Chinese Parent Organization; your support makes a difference for so many of our students and staff. And finally, I thank our PTSA for their support of the curricular activities and After-Prom. I hope every parent in our community joins the PTSA and at least one other parent group. The success at MRHS is largely due to the partnership among students, parents/guardians, and staff! If you have questions about any of these organizations, please look through Today's Topics where you can find the names and e-mails for the Presidents and Executive Board Members. It is my privilege to work with Swami Swaminathan, President of PTSA; Jo Ann Kohler, President of Boosters; Joy Altenburg, President of Music Foundation; Kim Parker, President of MAAC-PAC; and Yoojin Jeong, President of the Korean Parent Organization. I am awaiting confirmation for the position of President for our Chinese Parent Organization.
The first official PTSA Executive Board meeting for 2015-2016 was held on September 9, 2015. We had numerous people attend, some of whom are on the Board and some of whom were visiting as PTSA members. The PTSA meets the second Tuesday of every month in the Staff Dining Room on the 1st floor by the cafeteria at 7:00 p.m. Please feel free to join us if you are interested and/or willing to serve as a committee chair or committee member or if you just want to know what is happening at the school. We enjoy seeing our parents attend these meetings, and parents find the meetings informative since an Instructional Team Leader reports on his/her department's activities & teachers, a Student Government Association presents on student activities, and committee chairs present each month. It is always interesting to hear the Parent Teacher Association of Howard County (PTHAC) reports.
Two of the topics discussed at the latest PTHAC meeting were about Synergy and Canvas. The HCPSS should be releasing a statement in the near future. While we have had some challenges with the two systems communicating, they are being used for their intended purposes. You can still find course information and assignments in Canvas and you can find student information in Synergy. Employees of the school system are prioritizing the needs of the community and the students while working diligently to fix the problems. The first priority was to have transcripts ready for colleges and seniors; parents of seniors should have received an e-mail about this last Friday. I believe an e-mail also went out to all parents of students in HCPSS. The next priority is interims and interim grading; we will hear more about this over the next few weeks. The interim grades are presently due on October 5 and interims will be distributed on October 7th. I thank you for your patience as we work through the kinks in this new system. I also ask that you please enter the Emergency Procedure information in the Family File of HCPSS connect. It is extremely important for us to have that information on file in case extenuating circumstances or emergencies occur. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. HCPSS Connect, Family File, Canvas and Synergy are very important systems and support all that we do for our students.
The Media Specialists and teachers who have been trained as Points of Contact are working diligently with our teachers who are experiencing challenges and/or have questions in Synergy and Canvas. However, the Media Specialists do much more that support technological challenges. The media center staff recently completed the freshmen media literacy pre-assessment and orientation with all 323 9th grade students; this took place through the U.S. History classes. This information will help teachers and Media Specialists design research skills instruction throughout the year in various content areas. Additionally, all freshmen received the print copy of their usernames and passwords, for the HCPSS electronic tools, at the orientation sessions. Other students will receive copies in their English classes; this allows access to all of the instructional programs. Late last week, the Media Specialists also introduced the National History Day program to 160 U.S. History Honors students. Information, assignments and timelines can be found in Mr. Minard's and Mr. Incontrera's Canvas courses. This year, National History Day research instruction will take place with all 240 U.S History Honors and GT students. The first student book club meeting of the year will be on Monday, 9/28 during break in the media production room. Students and staff will are reading, Noggin by John Corey Whaley. Students should see a media staff member if they need a copy! The media website URL has changed; please bookmark www.mrhsmedia.org to access the wealth of electronic research sources available to the students and families at MRHS. Finally, this year, the Media Staff is adding a new activity. On October 1st, a teen specialist from the Glenwood Library will be presenting to some of our students. Presentations during Banned Books Week, an initiative of the American Library Association, raise awareness of our freedom to read and seek information. Students will learn about censorship, their rights with respect to accessing information, and the role of their libraries in protecting those rights. This is the first time MRHS is hosting a Banned Books Week presentation; we are looking forward to hearing our students' responses. Thanks to Mrs. Rashid and Mr. McDonald for coordinating all of the Media activities/programs and working with our teachers.
Educational activities, presentations, debates, and projects provide students with opportunities to learn by doing. I had the pleasure of attending a photography class where students experienced the effect of being inside a camera. The art room became a black box where students could learn about aperture and lighting effects prior to creating their own pinhole cameras. I give kudos to Mr. Sinn for simulating such a wonderful experience in his photography classes.
Whether I am visiting a photography class or an AP English class, I find students actively and intellectually engaged in learning. Rigor and performance are both components of the MRHS School Improvement Plan that has been submitted to Central Office. In the plan, we are measuring performance by looking at HSA, AP & SAT scores, as well as GPA. We are working on rigor by asking students to enroll in Advanced Level Programs, take the SAT and ACT, and participate in the 9th & 10th Grade Cohort/Career & College Ready Groups for students with a GPA of 2.0 and below. The final SIP category focuses on increasing Student and Staff engagement as measured by the Gallup surveys. Staff and students will be taking these surveys in late September and early/mid October. We are looking forward to great results!
While we measure student and staff engagement in our School Improvement Plan, we also focus on parent engagement. To that end, the Student Services held a Senior Parent Night on Tuesday, September 9, 2015. The night was filled with energy, excitement, and lots of questions. Parents of seniors learned about class events, post-secondary plans, the college application process, scholarships, and requesting transcripts and teacher recommendations. Parents received lots of information and resources that will help the Class of 2016 as they continue to prepare for their "College and Career" lives after Marriotts Ridge. All forms presented during the Senior Parent Night can be found on the Marriotts Ridge Website under Essential Applications (lower left hand side of the home page) in the Naviance Document Library. Please join the Student Services Department on Monday, September 28, 2015 at 7:00pm for the SAT/ACT/Redesigned SAT Parent Information Night.
Students are well-prepared for the SAT when they participate in and take the PSAT seriously. It's the time of year to focus on preparing our sophomores for taking their first PSAT; therefore, the 2nd Annual Sophomore College Trip is in the planning stages. A college visit will give students an opportunity to learn about college life especially academic requirements related to the admissions process and recognize the importance of successful academic achievement. OnWednesday, September 30th all Class of 2018 (approximately 291) students will have an amazing experience at some of our local colleges and universities. The students will participate in an information session lead by a college admissions officer and be given a tour of the campus. This year our students will have the opportunity to experience one or more of the following colleges/universities: University of Maryland College Park, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC-Catonsville), University of Baltimore, Maryland Institute College of Art, Howard Community College, Loyola University, Morgan State University, Towson University & Johns Hopkins University. Many of our students will have the opportunity to visit two campuses. After a brief orientation session, sophomores were asked to select three colleges of interest to them. The goal is to give each student one of their top choices. Due to limited space on the bus and in campus sessions, approximately 50 students will be assigned to each group. Students were given a permission slip and a fact sheet. Destinations will be determined on a first come, first served basis. Please be sure to read all information on each document, sign the permission slip, and return it to school as soon as possible. Permission slips and monies will be collected during all lunch shifts. Make checks payable to MRHS. If you would like to join us as a chaperone, please complete the chaperone section of the permission slip. Please contact Choya Franklin, email@example.com if you have any questions.
CONGRATULATIONS: SEPTEMBER STUDENT-LEADER-OF-THE-MONTH: Nick Santangelo
From Mrs. Cannella: Nick, a senior at MRHS, is the president of the MRHS FBLA and State President of Maryland FBLA. He attended the FBLA National Conference in Chicago this past July and placed 2nd in the Nation in Health Care Administration. Nick is also one of three webmasters for the MRHS website; over the summer, Nick volunteered his time coming in for several days to work on the MRHS website's new format. Additionally, Nick comes in before school, after school and anytime he is needed to work on FBLA club activities and our school's website. His commitment and dedication to making our school's website and FBLA a success is above and beyond any student I have ever taught or advised. Congratulations to Nick Santangelo and his family.
From Mr. Malt: I would like to nominate Emily Mirarchi for Athlete-of-the-Week. Emily is an 11th grade athlete out for her second season of Cross Country. Last year Emily ran the Howard County Invitational in 27:36; she finished the season with a personal record of 24:52 for the JV squad. It was obvious at our first for the 2015 XC practice that Emily put in the hard summer work required to run at the next level. Last Saturday, Emily ran the Howard County Invitational in 23:33; this if four minutes faster than her time at last year's Invite and over one minute off of her season PR. Emily's time made her a scoring runner for the MRHS Girls' Varsity, but more importantly, Emily has demonstrated the level of commitment and determination that all coaches wish to see in their athletes. Emily is most certainly deserving of Athlete-of-the-Week recognition. Congratulations to Emily Mirarchi and her family!
Congratulations to chemistry teacher, Mrs. Cooper! Class of 2015 graduate and present MIT student, Yoshine Saito named Mrs. Cooper as a teacher who was highly influential in her development. MIT sent a congratulatory letter to Mrs. Cooper highlighting the impact she had on Yoshine and noting the time, patience, expertise, love, and discipline she gave and continues to give to the students in her chemistry classes.
Congratulations to Courtney Loeb, Seo Jung Park, Nicholas Santangelo, and Anna Xi who are Semifinalists in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Competition. We are very proud of these young men and women and we wish them well as they continue their journey for scholarships. To put this honor in perspective, our four students were selected from about 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools who took the PSAT and were among the highest scoring entrants in the state. Semifinalists must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed by the high school administration, write an essay, and earn high scores on the PSAT. Approximately 16, 000 students were named as Semifinalists and approximately 15,000 will move on to the Finalist level. We wish our students the best of luck as they continue on this journey.
Congratulations to the students and staff of Marriotts Ridge High School! I received a memo from Dr. Foose the other day, and I am proud to share some excerpts with you.
From: Renee A. Foose, Ed.D., Superintendent
Subject: Update on Newsweek Top High Schools 2015 Omission
I am writing to provide an update on the recent omission of HCPSS high schools from the Newsweek list of America's Top High Schools. Although we provided Newsweek with the relevant data files within the requested timeframe, Newsweek unintentionally neglected to include our data in their database before the rankings were calculated. Newsweek has agreed to include in a correction the projected ranking and data describing each of the four HCPSS schools—yours among them. All data points are now included, with the exception of the SAT/ACT composite score and percentage of students participating in dual enrollment courses, because these figures are calculated in relation to those of other schools. The correction is posted here: http://www.newsweek.com/high-schools/americas-top-high-schools-2015.
The schools and the placements they earned on national and state lists are in the table below.
Centennial ranked 271 in the US and 5th in Maryland
Marriotts Ridge ranked 333 in the US and 6th in Maryland
River Hill ranked 356 in the US and 8th in Maryland
Mt. Hebron ranked 405 in the US and 10th in Maryland
Community Service is alive and well at MRHS
Thank you to Mrs. Golzsmidt for working with the National Honor Society on a community service project that took place this past Saturday in East Baltimore. On Wednesday, Sept. 16, our NHS students heard presentations from representatives of The 6thBranch, a non-profit organization that utilizes the leadership and organizational skills of military veterans to execute aggressive community service initiatives at the local level and William Paca Elementary School (WPES). Together, students from MRHS and WPES volunteered their time to clean up the Ambrose Kennedy Park in Johnston Square, Baltimore. Students were asked to bring a willing heart, a great attitude, and a desire to help others. Thanks to our NHS students and Ms. Goldzmidt for facilitating and participating in this wonderful event.
Thank you to Coach Gado and our field hockey team for sponsoring the "Stick it to Cancer" tournament this weekend. Through a bake sale, donations, and a shoot out, the MRHS field hockey program collected over $400 at their "Stick It To Cancer" tournament this past week. All proceeds go to the National Foundation for Cancer Research. In addition, Varsity won their tournament and JV won their single game on the same day! Congratulations on a very successful day.
Mark your calendar…
September 28 – Counselors will present information about the redesigned SAT, as well as the comparisons between the SAT and ACT.
October 14 – All sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT. The scores on the PSATs provide valuable information for students taking the SAT and the PSAT score in the junior year is used to determine which students will become National Merit Finalists.
As you can see, the students and staff at MRHS are doing well; our students are successful and seem to be happy and involved at school. Thank you for all you do to support your children and work with the Mustang staff. Together we make a great team! Have a great week.
Addie Kaufman, Principal

Year of the Debate Ducker
Why Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is refusing to debate Democratic Attorney General Terry Goddard.
Incumbents have come up with some unusual strategies to avoid debates in this election.
Take Democrat Norm Dicks, a 34-year veteran of the House from Washington State. You'd think he'd be eager to tout all he has done for his Tacoma district, but this past Monday he pulled out of a debate with his GOP opponent after the local newspaper had announced he would attend. Mr. Dicks' office sent a representative to the debate who told the 300 people in attendance that his boss had to miss the event to cast "several important...

Beginning next month, Dade County business leaders will inform the public of some staggering numbers about today`s youth, numbers that they say add up to an impending crisis in the work force.
County leaders will help kick off a national public awareness campaign called ``Project Youth: 2000,`` an attempt to curb soaring numbers of high school dropouts and unemployable teen-agers.
Private sector programs that give Dade teen-agers an incentive to stay in school will be highlighted in the national campaign, said Ken Baker, the U.S. Secretary of Labor`s representative for eight southeastern states, including Florida.
Baker appeared at Thursday`s breakfast meeting of the North Dade Chamber of Commerce, where members of the Private Industry Council of South Florida announced plans to join the national effort.
The council, a non-profit group that offers Dade and Monroe county businesses incentives to hire young workers, will use billboards to make the public aware of the problems of high school dropouts and functional illiteracy.
One advertisement will state that nearly 1 million youths a year leave school before their high school graduation, said Bill Urbizu, assistant to the executive director of the Private Industry Council.
A second ad will inform motorists that one of every eight 17-year-olds cannot read the words on the billboard, Urbizu said.
With the number of young people in the work force expected to shrink by 40 percent by the year 2000, leaders say the time has come to work on the problem.

A GOOD day
After I found Ginger this morning Compostgirl and I have been out for the day with good friends and their children...we all went to Malvern and had a picnic in Priory Park..the children played for 3 hours....then I went back to one of my friends house for a natter and a cup of tea.
Compostgirl had a play with her best friends K and J in their paddling pool and house for another 2 hours, including having her tea with them, while I went to M & S and Waitrose in Malvern :-)
Then we went home....Compostgirl is utterly shattered and fast asleep...and is VERY happy !
and I am off with aforementioned friends to see Mama Mia on Saturday in Worcester, with a meal and wine before hand...
AND I have just heard that Dow are withdrawing Aminopyralid, the pesky herbicide which is causing all the problems!!!
So how good is that!
AND I have been awarded a blog award
Today has gone down in my diary as an officially good day
2 comments:
- Anonymous24 July 2008 at 14:59
why is the withdrawl of aminopiralid good? if people would use the product according to the product label, we wouldn't be having the problems we are right now.ReplyDelete
I don't usually bother to reply to Anon comments BUT I will to this one.ReplyDelete
A product which can survive being sprayed on to weeds in hayfields, which is then made into fodder for animals, which passes through the animal and into its manure, then the manure from those animals is being stacked for a considerable length of time, before being spread on the soil as fertiliser is STILL capable of producing deformed crops grown in that soil.
so its NOT just about reading the label...its about a chemical which is SO persistant it can cause problems a very long way down the line.
And thats why I am glad it is going to be withdrawn.
Hello! Thank you for reading my blog and for commenting. I try to reply as quickly as I can and I really appreciate your interest in my life and doings here in The Compost Bin.

The Common Link Between ADHD and Substance Abuse
August 22, 2014
Is your teen more likely to have a substance abuse problem if they have ADHD? If you're a parent with a teen who has ADHD, it's an understandable concern. While many teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder don't develop a substance abuse problem, there is a common link between the two.
Proven studies have shown that children with ADHD are more than twice as likely to abuse drugs than children without the disorder. In one study, about 35 percent of teens with ADHD averaging the age of 15 years old have abused at least one or more addictive substances.
So What's the Connection?
Genetics. It's been proven that genetics play a crucial role in the link between ADHD and addiction; however, there isn't one specific gene that causes one or the other to occur.
You may have also noticed that symptoms from ADHD play a huge factor in teens deciding to experiment with drugs. If your teen is struggling with behavioral problems with family or in school, they might be more likely to turn to drugs to escape their stress and anxiety.
It's common for teens with ADHD to turn to addictive substances such as nicotine, marijuana, and alcohol to control their restlessness. This experimentation with drugs can lead to abuse and eventually addiction to other drugs.
Does Medication Play a Role?
You may think that common ADHD medications like Ritalin could increase the chances your teen will get addicted to medication and other drugs, but it's unlikely.
While there is potential for abuse of these stimulants, the prescribed medical doses of Ritalin tend to have a lower and longer reaction time; therefore, they often reduce the risk of addiction.
However, effective therapy for teens with ADHD can reduce the chances your teen will abuse their medication and other illegal substances. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectal behavioral therapy will help your teen better manage stress, anxiety and any other symptoms from their ADHD.
Effective Treatment
If your teen is experimenting with drugs or alcohol to cope with their ADHD, they can recover with evidenced-based treatment. A program that helps your teen find healthier alternatives to manage stress, anxiety, and social issues is the best effective treatment method.
At Teen Treatment Center, we provide treatment for co-occurring disorders such as ADHD and substance use disorders. If your teen is struggling with their ADHD and substance abuse, our licensed therapists have decades of experience treating both co-occurring disorders.
To get help for your teen today and to find out more about our services, call our admissions counselors at (844) 319-5239.. We are always available for a confidential chat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

NEW YORK — Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was fined $9,115 for taunting Falcons linebacker Deion Jones, who avoided a fine for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Newton on a two-point conversion later that knocked Newton from Sunday's game with a concussion.
Panthers right guard Trai Turner was fined $24,309 for verbally abusing an official who didn't flag Jones for the hit, which the NFL deemed legal.
Newton hasn't practiced this week and isn't expected to play against the Bucs on Monday.
Other fines Friday:
• Broncos linebacker Todd Davis, $18,321 for a horse-collar tackle against the Bucs.
• Giants receiver Odell Beckham, $24,309 for taunting in a loss at Minnesota on Monday night.
• Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, $9,115 for pantomiming a bow and arrow after an interception against the Browns. Cleveland receiver Terrell Pryor was fined the same amount for using the football as a prop.
• Seahawks defensive end Cassius Marsh, $18,231 for hitting Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in the face mask with his face mask. On the next play, Jets guard Brian Winters was called for unnecessary roughness for head-butting defensive end Michael Bennett. Winters, who got a concussion, was fined $24,309. Jets safety Calvin Pryor was fined $24,309 for an illegal hit on receiver Doug Baldwin.
• Colts linebacker Curt Maggitt was fined $9,115 for a late hit on the quarterback against the Jaguars. … Titans center Ben Jones, $9,115 for taunting. … Raiders guard Gabe Jackson, $9,115 for unnecessary roughness. … Ravens receiver Mike Wallace, $9,115 for unnecessary roughness and taunting.
Dolphins game to go on as scheduled: With Hurricane Matthew just grazing Miami on Friday, the Dolphins announced that their Sunday home game against the Titans would be held as scheduled.
Cardinals: The Cardinals got a much-needed 33-21 victory over the 49ers on Thursday night, but they lost their two starting guards to what appeared to be serious ankle injuries. Evan Mathis and Mike Iupati were being evaluated, coach Bruce Arians said Friday.
49ers: Coach Chip Kelly wouldn't commit to starting quarterback Blaine Gabbert next weekend against the Bills after a fourth straight loss. Kelly said the entire offense is on notice after sputtering Thursday against Arizona. Gabbert threw two interceptions that led to 10 Arizona points.
Patriots: Rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett was put on injured reserve with a right thumb injury. While Tom Brady served his four-game Deflategate ban to start the season, Brissett, a former Gator, was pressed into duty after backup Jimmy Garoppolo was injured in Week 2. Brady returned this week and will face the Browns on Sunday.

If there's one constant thing in The Flash it's that the villains are pretty speedy – well they have to be to keep up with the leading man.
However, for the upcoming fourth season, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed the show is changing things up a bit.
"Next season we're not going to have a speedster as the main bad guy," Kreisberg told an audience at the DC Comics panel at PaleyFest on Saturday (March 18).
"The first two seasons were about having fun with his powers, and this season for Barry is really about the pitfalls of having powers, and that's the story we wanted to tell."
They're currently battling against the latest villain, Savitar, who has been claiming he's a all-powerful God, but that little lie was discovered when he was recently wounded.
Kreisberg teased the identity of the speedster and it sounds like it's going to be a pretty exciting reveal.
"With Savitar, we know who he is under there," he teased.
"We've been planning this for a while and we're really excited about it."
Before that can even happen, Barry and Co will have to get through an epic musical crossover with Supergirl to see if they all survive Darren Criss's evil villain, Music Meister first.
You can catch Supergirl and The Flash's two-night musical extravaganza on Monday, March 20 and Tuesday, March 21, both on The CW in the US. Sky1 airs both shows in the UK.

Torrevieja Beach – Cala de la Higuera
Cala de la Higuera beach is a mixture of rock and sand. It has ramp access down to the small sandy beach area from the road above. It's very scenic with the waves cascading against the rocky walls and if you're not one for just lying around sunbathing then this beach does offer some rock pools to explore.

The Kia Forte Koup is being auctioned on eBay, with all proceeds being donated to The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada.
MISSISSAUGA: The 2010 Kia Forte Koup SX that was driven in the 2010 Targa Newfoundland Rally by Team Wishful Thinking is now being auctioned for charity.
The Koup, finished in 'rally red', was donated by Kia Canada Inc. and modified by Sherwood Kia in Edmonton, Alberta to make it 'rally ready' for its specific class. The vehicle has since been on display at numerous Canadian auto shows over the last few months. The Kia Forte Koup is being auctioned on eBay, with all proceeds being donated to The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada.
The 2010 Forte Koup was entered into the Modern Division of Targa Newfoundland and was driven by Adam Hill, who originally hails from Perth Australia and now calls Vancouver home, and Mark Kostick, of Edmonton Alberta. Both competitors were thrilled to compete under the banner of "Team Wishful Thinking" as part of a partnership that has raised over $100,000 thus far for the Children's Wish Foundation. Kia dealers across Canada also joined the fundraising effort by committing a portion of the proceeds of each vehicle they sold between August 16 and September 18, 2010.
More auction details and photos can be found at: www.kia.ca/targa.

Week 43:
Hey everyone. I'm out of time, thanks everyone for sending me emails that I spent all my computer time answering. This week wasn't super eventful anyway, we went contacting a lot. We had a zone conference in Moscow though, that was good. Love going to Moscow and seeing other missionaries, nice being in an outer city by yourself but the downside is your only friend is your companion. Which is ok I guess. Lets see anything else. O big thank you to my little brotha for the best package and letter evur. He has a way with words that I cannot even dream of obtaining. I hear the olympics are going pretty well, I wouldn't know. Funny, I am so close, but so far. Well, times up my friends, I'll fill you in a little more next week. Oh, also we are moving, turns out the appartment that the sisters were living in before they left is way nicer than ours, nice enough to go to the trouble of moving, thats pretty nice. No more sleeping on spring box couches! Later.

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a sports car. There is no other way of describing this feat of engineering. Everything about it says agility, power and speed. It is the Italian manufacturer's most athletic model and it begs to be admired.
This is the kind of car that makes your friends jealous and your loved ones proud. Its sharp nose is flagged by the inverted triangle grille that's outlined by two deep contours creating a large 'V' shape in the bonnet. Its distinctive headlights with two larger bulbs and five spot-like bulbs bring an animalistic edge that lets night time drivers know you are driving the Alfa Romeo 4C.
Move your eye to the tail and you will find an angular design with pointed haunches for the wheel arches and a zigzag shaped bumper. Circular tailgate lights sit directly above the exhaust pipes for an eye catching synergy.
The chassis is made entirely from carbon fibre and weighs in at just 65kg. With a SMC composite outer shell that's 20% lighter than steel, the 4C is superbly lightweight for a fast and responsive performance on the road.
For a superior sporting experience, opt for the Spider or Limited Edition body types that have a convertible roof.
Its sporty design is emulated in the interior. Crafted from a piece of carbon fibre, the body cell is lightweight and has a striking look. Sports seats in a ribbed leather design, aluminium pedals and heal guards and a flat-bottomed steering wheel gives you the thrilling experience you want.
Four metres in length and nearly two metres wide, the 4C has a compact feel. A low position that is close to the ground makes you feel like you are on the racing track.
The 4C's 1,750cc turbocharged four-cylinder powerhouse of an engine sits beneath the bonnet and drives the sports car to a cool 160mph. Boasting 350Nm of torque, you will be powered from 0-60mph in less than five seconds.
Because of its strong braking system and Bremo callipers, the 4C will stop from 62mph in as little as 36 metres. Choose between three driving settings – the Dynamic, the Natural and the All-Weather (D.N.A.) and the car will automatically adjust the experience while on the move. For a thrilling drive, go for the Dynamic which drops the stability control. Switch to the Nautral to use less fuel or opt for the All Weather for an agile drive in tough conditions.
Test drive the Alfa Romeo 4C and experience it for yourself. To arrange an appointment, contact the Swansway Alfa Romeo team in Chester today by filling in and submitting the online enquiry form or by phoning us on 01244 560669 within opening hours.

Towards a Circular Economy -
Waste Free Ontario Act
In November 2016, the
Waste Diversion Act
was repealed and replaced by the
Waste-Free Ontario Act
, which includes both the
Waste Diversion Transition Act and the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act
This new legislation will have a major impact on municipal waste management and, most importantly, on waste diversion programs you may operate now or have planned for the future.
In particular, the cost to run programs for collecting and recycling paper products and packaging is now split 50/50 between municipalities and the companies that produce these items. The new legislation will transfer to full producer responsibility.
Municipal blue box recycling programs will undergo some of the biggest changes, as municipalities will have new options – to act as service providers to producers who are required to pay for these programs, to work with private service providers, or opt out from providing service altogether.
It is in the best interest of municipal governments that this work gets done as quickly as possible, as the current proposal to transition the Blue Box is expected to take at least another six years and will cost municipalities an estimated $780 million. Municipalities can save $130 million per year by accelerating this transition.
Continued work on amended Blue Box Program Plan being discussed
The new legislation has started the movement toward full producer responsibility, but it is just the first step towards a circular economy. Regulations must be drafted and all the details of the new system must be resolved.
In response, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), Municipal Waste Association (MWA), Regional Public Works Commissioners of Ontario (RPWCO), and the City of Toronto joined forces to form the Municipal Resource Recovery and Research Collaborative (Municipal 3Rs Collaborative). This Collaborative advocates for a smooth and timely transition to full producer responsibility, and for the protection of key municipal priorities, like maintaining service standards to residents.
The role of the Municipal 3Rs Collaborative is to listen carefully to the Ontario municipal sector, feed this information into the process, promote municipal interests, and provide updates and resources that will help municipalities manage contracts and make the best possible decisions for their own local programs and communities.
Based on concerns raised by stakeholders during the consultation on the draft amended BBPP released Dec 19, 2017, Stewardship Ontario did not submit an amended Blue Box Program Plan to the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority.
Stewardship Ontario's official announcement can be found
The Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority also offered a statement
Discussions are underway between stakeholders determine how work on the amended BBPP should continue. Letters exchanged between the parties can be found here:

On Saturday, Tim Tebow will rejoin ESPN as a college football analyst on the SEC Nation pregame broadcast before the Georgia/Vanderbilt game in Nashville. The SEC Nation two-hour broadcast begins at 10 a.m. ET (9 a.m. CT).
Tebow tweeted his excitement at rejoining the sports network:
So excited to be back with my #SECNation Family this Saturday! Nashville here we come! http://t.co/F3FOJ50puo
— Tim Tebow (@TimTebow) September 9, 2015
After the Philadelphia Eagles cut him on September 5, little doubt remained that Tebow would return to ESPN, which he had left in April to attempt a restart of his football career after the Eagles signed him. ESPN tacitly acknowledged that his job would be waiting for him, as John Wildhack, ESPN executive vice president, said at the time, "We appreciate Tim's contributions to the launch of SEC Network and wish him all the best as he pursues his NFL dream. Tim quickly established a tremendous rapport with everyone he worked with in front of and behind the camera. He has a tireless work ethic and a unique passion for football."
On Wednesday, Wildhack confirmed Tebow's hiring, asserting, "Tim quickly developed into an excellent analyst last year, and we were not shy about acknowledging his home at ESPN should he be available to return."
Until very recently, it appeared as if the Heisman Trophy-winner might stay on the Eagles' roster. At the beginning of September, coach Chip Kelly said, "I've seen Tim improve since he got here. I've seen him improve his throwing motion.… I think he's really worked very hard at that, sequencing his throwing motion. I think he's been a lot more accurate with his passes. He's had a good camp."
But Kelly ultimately deemed Tebow not "good enough" for a third-string job.

If you're looking for the totally perfect sun holiday, something that has class, stunning views and all the comfort you can imagine, I'm pretty confident I've found you the hotel to fit the bill! ;)
Astarte Suites: A Picture Perfect Spot of Luxury in Santorini
I mean, Santorini is pretty stunning anyway, so if you get a hotel to match, it's pretty much a dream holiday! Look no further than the Astarte Suites. They boast some of the finest luxuries the hotel world can possible give you, breathtaking views to make you sure you chose the right destination, and a look to turn the social media population green with envy! ;)
And the best bit… it's not even that expensive! :) It obviously depends what dates you're looking to go but I've found it for €195 for two people, for example. Which means it's less than €100 each. Perfect for that romantic getaway if you ask me!
The hotel offers you a super central location which is ideal for sightseeing and just works perfectly for what you usually want from a holiday. A chance to experience new things, get a taste of the cultural and maybe spot a bit of nightlife :)
The room that I found is the junior suite with jacuzzi and luxury beach sea view… even the name is impressive! ;) It comes with all the basics you'd expect from a hotel, but it's the extras that make it worth it! Enjoy the jacuzzi right in your suite so you only have to budge if and when you want to! Enjoy the definition of relaxation right in the room.
Admire the gorgeous view, take advantage of the free airport shuttle, and wake up to a free breakfast in the mornings :) So apart from being totally stunning, it will also save you a lot of money overall when you factor in all the commuting and food prices on a holiday :)
And of course as you can see from the photo above, it's got a pretty slick outdoor pool that I'd just basically live in if I were you! When are you gonna have a view like that while just messing around having a swim!?
So to book your heavenly stay for whatever dates you like, just click the link below and choose your dates :)Book Your Luxury Stay!
