Advising Information
Who is your advisor and why do you need one?
Your advisor is going to help you plan your courses, internships and other academic activities while you are pursing your mathematics degree at SJSU. Written words in the catalog are sometimes vague about the requirements for the degree. Your advisor can gauge the difficulty of the courses and thus be able to structure your academic program so that you are not taking all the difficult classes in the same semester. Use your advisor as a resource for information and ideas. Your advisor would be in a better position to help you if he or she gets to know you. So it is very important that you meet with your assigned advisor. We have assigned you an advisor based on your degree program and concentration.
How often do you meet with your advisor?
At lease once a semester. Every student who majors in a science (including math) is required to see the major advisor before registering for classes. Every semester, an advising hold is placed on each student's record which prevents the student from signing up for courses. After you meet with your advisor, the hold will be lifted.
What if you are a double major and your other advisor already lifted the hold?
You should still meet with your math advisor every semester so that he or she can keep track of your progress.
What do I do if my adviosr doesn't get back to me?
It is the advisor's job to stay in touch with you and offer all the advising help you need. If you do not get a response, try to meet your advisor in her or his office during scheduled office hours. Note that faculty are not required to report during the summer and winter breaks. If you are unable to get a reply from your advisor by phone or email during those times and your question is urgent, fill out the "Contact Us" form.
Advising Plan
When you declare mathematics as your major, you will be assigned a major advisor. If you don't have one or don't know who it is, make a request or inquiry using the "Contact Us" form. Your major advisor will stay the same unless you are notified of a change or your change your degree program.
At the start of your academic career, you will be taking some general education courses and beginning math and support courses. The lower division math courses are Math or Math 30P, Math 31, Math 32 and Math 42. Support courses are non-math courses required by your major. For example, Physics 50 is a support course for the BA Math program. It is important that you start taking your Math courses as soon as possible. When planning your schedule, start with the math courses you need to take. Then add the support courses. Lastly, fill in your schedule with your general education (G.E.) courses. Read the special notes about G.E. courses below.
By the time you are taking Math 32, you and your advisor should make an academic plan for the remainder of your undergraduate career. Your advisor will help you select electives and will recommend a plan which is best suited to your needs and abilities. At this time, you may discuss your future plans such as career objectives and graduate school plans. This would help your advisor suggest courses and co-curricular activities like internships and summer research.
Freshman are required to attend Frosh Orientation where they meet with College of Science advisors and register for the first semester courses. There may be a math advisor at the advising session. If not, please contact us to verify that you are enrolled in the appropriate courses.
Advanced Placement Exams
If you took AP classes, read the information on AP exams (http://info.sjsu.edu/static/catalog/ap.html). To get credit for your AP tests, you should have the results sent to SJSU.
Transfer Students
Transfer students are required to attend TIP (Transfer Information Program). You will meet with an advisor from the Math Department when you attend the TIP. This advisor will help you plan your schedule for your first semester at SJSU. During your first semester at SJSU you should meet with our assigned advisor to make a long term plan for completing your degree. Bring a copy of all (unofficial) transcripts and grade reports to your transfer advising session.
If you are planning to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics, let your advisor know as soon as possible. Attend our Graduate School Workshop which is held in September. Apply to Ph.D. programs is much more complicated than applying to SJSU. You will need to take both the general and the math subject GRE's (http;//www.ets.org/gre/), write a statement of purpose, research which graduate programs are best suited to you and find 3-4 people who will write letters of recommendation for you.
Once you have accumulated 90 units, you should apply for graduation regardless of when you will actually graduate. To apply for graduation, you need to fill out the following forms:
- A major form. on the page Forms and Documents, there is link to the major form for your degree program. After you have filled out
the form and y our advisor has approved it, submit your form to the Math Department
Office in MH 308 for departmental approval. After a few days, you may pick up two
copies of the signed form from the Math Department Office. One copy will be in a sealed
envelope which you will submit along with your graduation application form. Do not
open the envelope. The unsealed copy is for your records. Keep it until you graduate.
- A graduation application form. You will find this form online at the SJSU Registrar's page, under "Forms". Follow the instructions on this form.
- Additional Forms. If you have a minor or a second major, you will need to complete a form available from the department granting the minor or major.
All these forms must be handed in at the same time. Within a reasonable amount of time, you should receive a graduation checklist. If you would like to make changes to your major form after it has been submitted, you should consult with your major advisor first, then fill out the substitution form (found here http://www.sjsu.edu/registrar/forms/) that needs to be submitted to Student Services.
If you are planning to obtain a teaching credential and you have completed 90 units, you should meet with a credential or Math Ed advisor to discuss the application process to the credential program.
Special Notes about General Education (G.E.) courses
Area B1 and B3. Most math majors (see exceptions below) are required to take calculus based Physics which will satisfy these requirements.
Area B4. Even though it is not listed on the list of G.E. courses, Calculus will satisfy the Critical Thinking G.E. requirement. There is no need for you to take another math course from that list. A grade of C or higher is required in the course used to satisfy the GE math concepts requirement.
Areas B, D for BS Applied and Computational Mathematics. The concentration in Applied Mathematics and Statistics required 2 lower division and 2 upper division support courses in an applied area. Sample sequences of support courses can be found in the document "Preapproved Support Courses" which is linked on our Forms and Documents page. For example, a student who decides to specialize in Genetics would have to take Bio 1A and Chem 1A. These two courses satisfy areas B1, B2 and B3. A student who follows the Economic sequence would have to take Econ 1B which satisfies area D1. We strongly recommend that these students discuss these options with their advisors as soon as possible.
We have also developed a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page. If after reading these pages, you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact your undergraduate advisor.

GDB 13: It's on
November 06 2008 10:19AM
Of all the games the Oilers have played so far this year, tonight's is by far the biggest.
"But why Wanye? It's just another game isn't it?" Are you kidding? The results of this game will cement our reputation with a bunch of strangers in Pittsburgh! Oilers win, they'll all hate us. Oilers lose, they'll all hate us. Who can live with the uncertainty!?
This is why gambling was invented by Eduardo Las Vegas in 1879—to make sports more interesting. We took up the cause started by our boys over at jeanshortsandbaggedmilk, who have been deftly battling with this huge blog in Pittsburgh all by themselves.
We aren't going to leave our friends fighting solo. It's like in Junior High School when your friend would get challenged to a schoolyard fight. What do you do? You third-man-in and crack the kid in the skull with your Thermos! Take that Jeremy Tandrup, age ten. Don't mess with our crew. We have never been afraid to get involved in any nonsense that comes our way.
So we contacted these dudes at pensblog. They ignored our email. Then we chirped them. Then they claimed they didn't get the email. Then we went out of town and ignored them. Then made contact and the bet is cemented.
Why should you care about the game tonight? Oilers win, the pensblog will purchase the first two NationGear T-shirts off the line in Dec 2008; we'll give them to two lucky citizens of the Nation. Oilers lose, we have to buy two of their T-shirts for giveaways to their fans. Oh and the loser has to write an article explaining the awesomeness of the winning city.
"But Wanye you don't got no money. You ain't gonna pay for no T-shirts!" That's right Nation. Oilers lose tonight and your ol' pal Wanye is going to have to sell an eyeball. Ever see Pirate Wanye with an eye patch? It ain't pretty.
Oh and Justice League? We hear that Pens fans will be in attendance tonight.
It's on.
—Wanna talk to your ol' pal Wanye? E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jim Bob Duggar just has to look in her general direction to impregnate her.
November 06 2008, 04:58PM
The countdown has begun... Justice League Meeting in 10 minutes...
A penguin cannot swin when covered in Oil.

I remember in atoms they told us never to pass through the slot in your own end, I guess the Oil thought it was okay since it was just CROSBY in the middle.
November 06 2008, 05:25PM
one effing can of coors light in the fride... dammit, I have some drain-o but it's expired so I am kind of nervous about drinking it.

Man Hemmer is falling into his old tricks. Just standing around and trying to set up the perfect pass. Walk from the half wall once and shoot, that will open up a lot more of those pretty passes if they fear you might shoot.

FOX 2 News Morning Recipes SHIELDS PIZZA, MAKING PIZZA AT HOMECALL 248-356-2720 FOR MORE INFORMATIONASK FOR PEPT ANDONI SHIELD'S HOME RECIPE FOR PIZZA DOUGH Preheat oven to 440° 3 cups white flour1 teaspoon salt1-½ teaspoon sugar1 tablespoon instant dried yeast1-½ tablespoon whole-wheat flour2 tablespoons vegetable oil1-1/4 cups water In a large mixing bowl combine water, salt, sugar and vegetable oil. Add white flour, whole-wheat flour and instant dried yeast - knead for five minutes until doughy. Turn dough out of the bowl and separate into two halves. Form in circles and let stand for five minutes. Roll dough to 14 inch round pizza crust and let stand for five minutes. Apply toppings. Cook in preheated oven on middle rack for 15 minutes. SHIELD'S TWO ORIGINAL LOCATIONS ARE 1476 WEST MAPPLE IN TROY, 248/637-3131 AND 25101 TELEGRAPH IN SOUTHFIELD, 248/356-2720. OTHER LOCATIONS INCLUDE DEARBORN, COMMERCE TWP. AND SHELBY TWP.
Another case of the "home" recipes bearing no resemblance to their commercial product at all?
I'm personally a big fan of Loui's pizza. It's on Dequindre, just north of nine mile. I believe there is some intermingling history between Shield's, Buddy's and Loui's. Like the pizzamakers worked together at some point, or their families, or something, and at some point there were separations. All different pizzas, but very much "Detroit Style" in the similarity of the crusts. I've been trying to replicate the Loui's crust for years. I'm close, it's good, but not quite there.
Totally. So we agree the home recipe is not a reasonable approximation of the original.It's not about what "site members prefer." As faint as it is, one can taste lactic acid in Shields' dough.
Hawaiian pizza is given a kick at Buddy's Restaurant and Pizzeria with the continuation of its unique flavor combination in the pizza's sweet and sour sauce. "People who come to Buddy's already expect something a little out of the ordinary," says Wesley Pikula, vice president of operations for the concept in Michigan. Indeed, Buddy's stands out from the crowd with its square-shaped pizzas. It also boasts pastry-like crust, which is achieved by applying the sauce over the cheese. "That way, the crust is crunchy and doesn't get saturated with sauce," says Pikula. The sweet and sour sauce is made with crushed pineapple, honey and a smoky barbecue sauce. Canned Dole pineapple rings and diced imported Polish ham decorate the pizza. The 8-inch deep dish sells for $13.99 and runs a 24 percent food cost. "It's pretty popular. It's one of those specialty pizzas that has a loyal fan base that looks for the `brand' of Hawaiian and orders it every time," says Pikula. Buddy's sells 10 specialty pizzas, and the Hawaiian performs in the top four. Shelf life of canned pineapple doesn't seem to be an issue. "Pineapple is a pretty hardy ingredient. It holds up really well," says Pikula. As Buddy's is a full-service restaurant, cross-utilization is easy. For instance, the pizza's sweet and sour sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or entrees. And, of course, the pineapple rings can be crushed to make the sauce itself. "One thing that's really important is the handling of the pineapple. It's got a lot of water weight so you have to drain it for a long time. If not, you'll weigh the pizza down and make it watery," says Pikula.
Our dough is made from scratch daily in each of our kitchens. We use only premium grade flour in our dough's secret recipe. Carefully double kneading the dough and allowing it to rise for 1 to 1-1/2 hours helps to create Buddy's famous crunchy crust. We use almost one pound of cheese on our large, 8-square pizzas. This brick cheese is made especially for Buddy's in Wisconsin and is shredded by hand for the perfect melt. Our produce is received fresh daily and all of our vegetable toppings are hand sliced. We use Margherita brand pepperoni - a lean, high-quality, more flavorful, course-ground sausage. We place it under the cheese to prevent charring from the high baking heat. Our pizza sauce is made with a blend of Stanislaus premium tomato products, herbs and spices (our own little secret for more than 50 years.) All of Buddy's Black Steel pizza pans have to be specially seasoned. Some have been around for more than 50 years.

Two armed men robbed J.M. Market on Nonaville Road early Friday morning.
According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department, around 5:20 a.m., a panic alarm brought officers, where it was discovered that an armed robbery had just occurred. Two men wearing masks entered the store, one pointed a handgun at the clerks, and another demanded cash from the register. An undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes were taken by the robbers. After the robbery, the men ran out the front door and fled on foot, scattering packs of cigarettes.
The suspects are still on the loose. Suspect 1 is a male of unknown race, 6 feet tall, medium build. He was wearing dark clothing and a ski-style mask. Suspect 2 is also a male of unknown race, and was wearing dark clothing and a ski style mask. He is 5'5" tall.
Anyone with any information regarding this crime is encouraged to call the Mt. Juliet Police Department at (615) 754-2550. Information can also be given anonymously by calling (615) 754-TIPS (8477) or via the Mt. Juliet Police Department website at http://www.mjpd.org/.

Skip to comments.'Block-Buster' Truck Bomb One of the Biggest Ever
Posted on 11/14/2013 11:46:11 AM PST by huldah1776
Afghan national security forces near the border with Pakistan recently intercepted one of the largest truck bombs ever built, a massive "vehicle-borne improvised explosive device," or VBIED, packed with some 61,500 pounds of explosives.
***snip*** An ABC News investigation, which aired on "World News with Diane Sawyer" this week, showed that lawmakers have tried to stop the U.S. Army from giving logistics contracts to companies linked to Afghan insurgents including the deadly network run by Jalaluddin Haqqani and his son Siraj
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
61,500 lbs? That would leave a crater.
Big crater. Yahoo has a more informed article but it was quoting ABC so I went there.
That IS HUGH!!!
DHS would have a lot of 'splainin' if God forbid the homeland had another blast like Oklahoma City
Drive that sucker to the Mecca, park it, and set that baby off.
Considering it's in Afghanistan, that's not a bad thing.
It would give people something to look at.
After further review and looking at the pic.. It wasn't quite what I was expecting.. They look like they just tossed stuff in and on top until it filled the canvas covered enclosure.. Imaginative? No. Stinky? Probably
I was more envisioning Oprah and a load of her audience supporters,, 30 tons worth or so. :-o
What, those sexy goats aren't enough for you to look at?
Beat me to announcing the obvious solution.
Oh baby.
You know what I like.
Much like liberals in the United States who have also been using our own money to fight us for decades.
Wasn't an IED something were you took a dud artillery shell, replaced the trigger with the receiver from a garage door opener and used that as a roadside bomb? At over 30 tons it doesn't sound the slightest bit "improvised".
That'll buff right out...
Throwing the BS flag on the story after checking the pic. That's not a truck that could haul 30+ tons of anything anyplace. Looks like they intercepted a laundry truck. Whatever is in those bags is dry, meaning it's not an ANFO bomb. Maybe Paki is hauling fertlizer but it's not yet assembled into something that would do anything more than burn——and stink. Reporting this as a "big bomb" is someone trying to boost somebody's creds, probly himself.——there it goes wwwhhhheeeee.
"According to Afghan sources, the driver was a Pakistani who set off a grenade in the cab of the truck. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he detonated a suicide vest and killed himself, officials said."
I'm guessing they just might want to review their protocals for frisking them for weapons and explosive vests.
"No - my me-ma make vest for me, very precious."
> According to Afghan sources, the driver was a Pakistani who set off a grenade in the cab of the truck. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he detonated a suicide vest and killed himself, officials said.
WTF? Sets of a grenade in the cab, survives it and then sets of his suicide vest at the hospital! Some real morons running the show there.
Are you suggesting blowing up the black vagina rock ?
I was thinking it would have been their IED supply truck.
No smoking!
I guess smoking IS permitted. Steadies the nerves.
Seen it multiple times, a masterpiece!
A great sit on the edge of your seat film.
What kind of truck can carry 61,500lbs?
I drive a fairly large concrete mixer that has a nominal max payload of 11 cubic yards that is roughly 44,000 lbs.
Anything heavier requires additional axles, they have mixers that are on trailers but they are very very large and are rarely used in most cities.
About the only way to get that kind of weight on a truck is a set of turnpike doubles. Or a multiple axle lowboy trailer.
I've lived in Brooklyn most of my life, I unfortunately have no idea what you're talking about.
Wheeled Tank transporters have been around for a long time. the WWII medium tank was the Sherman weighing 34 tons or 68,000 pounds. They were hauled on multiple axled trailers for long distances to save wear on the tank's tracks and suspension. Newer transporters routinely haul tanks weighing 52 tons and more. Check out this link
I think you are right. That truck looks like it might haul a load of rental uniforms back to the laundry facility but even that would be a struggle. Thirty tons would seem to be out of the question.
On dirt and sand roads yet....That sucker would sink plumb up to his eyeballs.!!
so judging by the truck, less the wood, could you guestimate the actual load of fertilizer? Either way, less IEDs.
Strictly by eyeball, I'm becoming convinced that that 61,500 number is in GRAMS. Which would yield about 1600 pounds...
Oh, well. Most of the MSM types I've seen probably couldn't tell the diff between a gram and a ton unless it landed on their head.
But then, I've also never known the media to let the facts get in the way of a good storyline, even if they had to FUBAR the Acceleration of Gravity and every system of weights and measures known to mankind to get there.
"lawmakers have tried to stop the U.S. Army from giving logistics contracts to companies linked to Afghan insurgents"
Good God,, I had no idea we were fighting so brutally. This is total war! We are seriously considering not hiring the enemy to run our logistics? Whats next, nuclear attack?
It's part of Petraeus' COIN strategy or the business ROE. Instead of waiting till after the war to rebuild, they fund the enemy during the war to "Influence insurgent-minded individuals to adopt a neutral disposition."
How's that working out for you, Mr. Petraeus?
One thing I have to say about the Taliban, they use their money to achieve their goals, as opposed to those who get handouts in the United States.

The Way I See It!
I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.
We Need Fresh Ideas!
Let me start by saying, I think Justin Moralez's idea are great! We need to start to try things outside the norm and outside the box. The same old same doesn't work.
His idea of allowing artists to display their artwork at buildings the CDA owns and is trying to sell is a great idea. When one of the artworks sells, the City gets a commission check. Yes I do know in the past this same idea was floated and the naysayers said, "What if someone hurts themselves while looking or damages the property? What about the electric and gas?" I am so sick of the NO, NO, NO, naysayers. We need to do and try something else.
Just like when I said we should have a skate park. My GOD did people shoot that down. "People will get hurt and sue the city." How does Delafield do it I said, remember?
I think having a place like the Rave in Cudahy on the Iceport would do very well. Yes we cannot control the types of people coming to Cudahy and yes I don't want thugs coming here, but we need something like this.
Just as I don't think Big Box by itself is the answer, neither is just small little shops. It needs to be the right mix.
I was for the Rosebud Theater, but they had money issues!
What did that Retail Marketing Survey say? Anyone remember that? McCue, Lara, Day, and Brian are hoping you forgot!
I am not calling for Cudahy Economic Development Director Brian Biernat to leave. I think most of his problem is Mayor Day and the lack of leadership and focus. I think he would do so much better under John Hohenfeldt and having goals and being pointed in a direction and focusing on development.
I will say and give kudos to Mayor Day and Brian Biernat on one thing about the Packard Plaza, they did both say (I was told it was Brian Biernat's idea) that an Urgent Care would be a great fit for that mall. And they are right!
Question – Have they contacted anyone about it yet?
Cudahy Economic Director Focus on This!

The Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company held an informational meeting and lamb fry dinner Sept. 14 at the fair grounds park in Castle Dale. The purpose of this meeting was to provide information about the progress made with construction projects the canal company is working on. Clyde Magnuson and Craig Johansen reported that phase one and phase two projects are completed. The application for funds to the NRCS was turned back. This application will be resubmitted. By mid-November the canal company will know if additional money will be available. Johansen said the canal company reservoir would be finished by next spring. There have been some unexpected delays in the construction.
He said if everything went well they could have the main lines completely in place by 2014 and 2015. That is if they get all the money they need to finish these projects. If the money doesn't come in the company would have to wait another three years for money. "For those projects we have planned and under contract we have the money to finish. We will have to get another block of funds to do the Mammoth and the Blue Cut canals. So far we have spent $17 million for the reservoir, the Clipper and Western Canal pressurized irrigation lines," said Johansen.
Johansen said when the stockholders meeting is held in January they will be able to update just how successful they have been in getting additional funding and will also have a better time line for the Mammoth and the Blue Cut canals. "Do not plow up your ditches or head gates this fall wait until the irrigation system is operational. We will be able to put water in the pipeline and in the canal. Some of you that have signed up for sprinkler systems will not have them operable by April and May of next year. The canals will have to be functional for one more year. We are at this time pressure testing the lines with water. We are looking for leaks to make sure the lines are operating correctly," said Johansen.
Barry Hamilton with the NRCS said, "We have policies and regulations that we must follow. Sometimes when dealing with these policies and regulations people get frustrated. If you have a problem let us sit down and work through these problems. We can always work through things as long as we stay with the policy and see what our options are. Our main objective is to help our shareholders and canal companies to be successful. We want to put conservation on the ground not prohibit nor to stand in the way.
"This year when applications were made we couldn't fund them because of eligibility issues. You may get a letter in the mail from Farm Service Agency. Sept. 14 the farm records were reset for everyone in the nation. You need to meet with FSA to make sure you are eligible for what you are doing on the land. This has to be done before Oct. 19. Before Oct. 19 you need to check your records with FSA to see if the plan has been reset for your farm. Work with FSA and update your farm records. In Mid-November we will be doing our screening of farm records. If your records are updated and you meet all of the screening and ranking criteria your contract should move forward. Reset means that it is your responsibility to get into the FSA office and get your records updated. This happens every year," said Hamilton.
If the Farm Bill is passed this year hopefully the money will be available by mid-November.
"Screening and ranking means your application based on the regional concerns identified within this county. The application is examined to see if it meets those concerns such as salinity. With irrigation if you have the pipeline in place you shouldn't have a problem getting a contract, if we have the money. We are trying to spread the money around equally and fairly," said Hamilton.
Hamilton emphasized that no NRCS employee can promise your contract will be funded. He then handed out applications for NRCS funding for 2013.

Ninth grade students said their final goodbye to San Rafael Junior High while they head for their new high school experience. The closing program was held on May 24. Ninth grade class president Marie Harvey welcomed everyone to the closing program.
Chris Clarke talked about being the cause instead of waiting for the effect. Work hard and be the cause for things happening. Don't just sit around and expect everything to happen by itself. You have to put the wood in the stove and the gas in the car before you will get a reaction.
The ninth grade chorus sang a parting blessing.
Justin Cox started by saying "Fathers and mothers are the most influential people in our lives today." He spoke of all the help his parents have given him. Pick good friends that will help you succeed in life. Parents are there to help you with your home and friends at school, at sports or just goofing off. He ending by thanking his parents for all their love and support.
Jason Giles recalled a game playing Mont Harmon. Coach Hales told the team that the reason they won that game is because no one gave up and they worked as a team. It was one of the best seasons because the team worked together and never put each other down. "Work hard and do your best and always remember to have a good attitude," said Giles.
Dustin Jensen played the musical selection, Bumble Bee Boogie on the piano.
"I always remember the story of the wise man and the foolish man," Taylor Tanner spoke. There have been so many people who have helped us build a rock hard foundation. Remember to always thank our teachers, family, administration and our heros in the trenches. "The world is at our door and our choices are endless. Let's work together and make sure the class of 2009 leaves no classmate behind," encouraged Tanner.
Principal Garth Johnson spoke to the class and audience saying we are not only proud of our students but we care about them also. The teachers have really strived to help them the best way they could. "We hope you accomplished more than just learning math and science and so forth. You are our future. You are powerful kids and you are using your minds to better the world." said Johnson.
A special award was presented to the students along with their parents, who had achieved a 4.0 grade point average all three years of junior high. The students were Chris Clarke, Justin Cox, Dustin Jensen, Taylor Tanner and Jason Giles.
Honor students were AnnDee Adams, Amy Jo Allen, Taylor Behling, Sierra Bridgewater, Hayden Christianson, Cory Collard, Shawnee Grindley, Marie Harvey, Scottee Lyn Hunsaker, Gatlan Huntington, Shelby Huntington, Vern Kofford, Jessica Labrum, Sarah Marshall, Lacey Montgomery, Kaleena Mouritsen, Britney Nelson, Ben Partis, Megan Quinn, Hailey Robbins, Jodi Robertson, Whitney Saupan, Kameron Stilson, HiDee Whiting, Natalie Winn, Casey Wood and Brantz Woolsey.
A power point presentation was shown. Refreshments were served followed by a dance for the students.

By The Associated Press
HERNANDO, Miss. (AP) — Parents of Olive Branch Elementary students have complained to DeSoto County school board members about environmental problems at the school, including mold and rodents, and asked school system officials to do something.
The Commercial Appeal reports (http://bit.ly/11wkLUO) Heather Fox, who has a 7-year-old daughter at the school, told board members Monday she knows some of the conditions she has seen at the school shouldn't be allowed.
Fox said she didn't fault school maintenance workers, who did all they could, but called for school system officials to bring in independent experts to determine what the problems are and fix them.
Fox says more than 200 parents have signed petitions calling for improvements.
Board members listened to Fox's concerns and said they would work to address them.

A group of high school students from Faith Christian Academy have expanded their educations out of the classroom and into the international arena.
Faith Christian Academy's VEX Robotics team, The Fuse, is on its way to the world championship in Anaheim, Calif., for the fifth consecutive year after taking first and second with its two robots at a state competition Feb. 17 at Colorado State University Pueblo.
In April, the team will compete against 5,800 other teams from 20 countries during the world competition.
"This is one of Faith Christian Academy's ways of introducing high tech equipment to students in way that are being encouraged by local and federal governments," said mentor Jarrid Gross.
Gross referred to the STEM initiative, which encourages schools to put a stronger focus on science, technology, engineering and math so the United States can remain competitive in the global marketplace.
The VEX Robotics competition requires students to create a new robot to compete in a different task each year. For 2012-13, the robots must work in teams to move bean bags from the ground into troughs and onto stands.
The robot runs autonomously for the first 15 seconds, meaning the students must program its software to be able to complete the task, and is then controlled by students for one minute and 45 seconds.
"The students do everything," said mentor Craig Jameson. "They do all of the wiring, all of the construction and all of the programming."
At the end of the two minutes, the team with the most bean bags in its trough wins. In the state competition, The Fuse's robots were paired against each other in the final, making it possible for them to rank first and second.
The process of building a robot can take months, Jameson said.
"It gives them hands-on experience into practical science," he said. "They have an idea of what they want to do, they build it and find out it's not what they wanted to do. They get into it and then have to change the plan."
The program teaches students everything from physics and mechanics to software engineering to technical writing, as each step has to be recorded throughout the process.
Students also learn skills such as public speaking as they visit with other schools, as young as elementary students, to talk about the program.
For two of the students, senior Michel Gross and sophomore Daichi Jameson, this extracurricular is preparing them for their future careers.
"I'm going to go into megatronics," Michel said. "It's building robots that are fully autonomous that have never been done before."
Daichi said he hopes to go into software engineering in the future.
"VEX is awesome," Daichi said. "You learn a lot about mechanics and software and how to collaborate with a team."
The Fuse is funded solely through the students and fundraising. All mentors are volunteers and often parents of involved students.
Because of the high-cost to build the robots, the group is still fundraising and accepting sponsorships for their trip to the world competition in Anaheim April 17-20.
There are four levels of sponsorship available — bronze, $100 or more; silver, $250 or more; gold, $500 or more; and platinum, $1,000 or more.
Bronze sponsors receive a framed certificate of sponsorship with photos of the robots and team; silver receives a name or logo on team shirts; gold has a logo placed on the robot; and platinum has a logo on the team banner displayed at VEX competitions.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
One of my clients owns a large commercial bakery on Long Island, New York. For years I have been trying to convince him to make biscuits to enhance breakfast with all the same wonderful flavors as the most popular muffins. One such variety is a chocolate biscuit (see the recipe below).
My recipe makes the largest, most incredible biscuits in the history of the breakfast! Serve these gems with butter, preserves or honey. They can also be used as a base for dinner time (or any time) strawberry shortcake. I love the way the milk chocolate chips ooze from between the layers of the warm, freshly baked biscuit dough.
The dough can be prepared several hours in advance of baking by turning the dough out onto aluminum foil that has been floured, lightly buttered or lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Roll up foil until it is sealed, and refrigerate. Don't be surprised if your biscuits rise even higher because the baking powder has had more time to act with the dough.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Baking Time: 15 minutes
Ready In: 45 minutes
Yield: 6 extra large-sized yummy chocolate biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup shortening, very cold
1 cup whole milk
1 cup Choclatique Milk Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Measure all ingredients and have at your side.
- Preheat oven to 425º F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the very cold shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. You may need more or less milk depending on the humidity of the day.
- Turn out onto a floured surface, add the chocolate chips and knead 15 to 20 times. Do not over knead or you will make the biscuits too tough.
- Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Cut straight down without twisting cutter to ensure tall, straight biscuits.
- Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.
- When the biscuits are removed from the oven, immediately brush with melted butter.
ChefSecret: I like to use White Lily flour for making biscuits of any kind. White Lily has been helping Southern cooks create incredibly delicious foods since 1883.
I sometimes like to add some dried cherries to the dough. Simply substitute 1/2 cup of cherries for half of the chocolate chips and then you will have the best Giant Chocolate, Chocolate Chip-Cherry Biscuits. Yum!
Serving Suggestion: Put a decadent spin on an old favorite—Fresh Berry Shortcake. Split and layer the biscuits with some fresh macerated berries and top with whipped cream.

The beautiful spring weather of recent days is contributing to an up-tick in brush fires across the region. Most of the 648 brush fires reported in Massachusetts since the beginning of the year have occurred in the last three weeks. 67 were reported this past Sunday alone, with nearly as many on Tuesday. Dave Celino, the state's Chief Fire Warden says, that's largely due to lack of rain, higher temperatures and very low humidity.
"The grasses have greened up considerably and they're pretty much out of play when it comes to fire danger. But the leaf litter and the brush in the forest under story have become extremely dry and are very receptive to fire."
Fortunately, Celino says, the lack of high winds is helping to keep the fires from spreading. But he says the fire danger will persist until the trees get their leaves to shade the dry brush, and until the region gets at least an inch of rain.
"The flick of a match or the flick of a cigarette butt is probably going to start a fire. And so the public needs to be aware of that. If they are camping and they have a campfire out there or they're burning in their backyard, they need to make sure that those fires are monitored all the time and that when they're done, that they're completely out cold using water to do so."
The National Weather Service says little to no rain is forecast at least through early next week. Celino says this has been a more typical fire season, historically speaking. Last year, a lack of snow pack brought a much earlier start to the season.

Bart Cox, Orangeville Mayor candidate
My name is Bart Cox. I'm asking for you to vote for me to be the mayor of Orangeville City. Orangeville is a great place to live and raise a family.
I've had experience in city government that I feel qualifies me for this job. I am willing to serve. I served as a city councilman for 16 years. I also served as zoning administrator for four years. I already have a working knowledge of city government and am ready to do my part to continue the great traditions we have.
My goal is to continue the many good things that are already happening in Orangeville City and be willing to improve if there is any of that to be done.
Orangeville has been my home for the past 29 years. My wife, Marilee, and I moved here in 1976 with our oldest daughter. Our other three children were born here and this has been a great place to raise them.
I taught junior high at Canyon View for two years and have been with Emery Telcom for 27 1/2 years.
Please vote on Nov. 8 and consider me for mayor of Orangeville City.

UPDATED 8:50 p.m. J.C. Penney said it could end up with more new hires than the number of front desk receptionists being eliminated.
Original blog post at 5:58 p.m.
Receptionists at J.C. Penney salons found out today that they are losing their jobs in March.
A Penney spokeswoman confirmed that the salon receptionist position is being eliminated. Penney operates almost 1,000 salons.
Receptionists will be replaced with "associate designers" who will be required to have a cosmetology license.
The idea is for the new hires to assist the more experience stylists in the salon and gain experience while also managing front desk responsibilities.
The net job loss is "marginal," Penney said without disclosing the number of people affected.

Agreed, FrenchGirl. Not many call pull off a yellow like that. Paul Rudd clearly has made a deal with el diablo. Homeboy doesn't age. Mindy – I absolutely love that dress, AND I never realized how pear-shaped you are until now. Evidently, your photo fills me with mixed emotions.ReplyCancel

I LOVE Leslie Mann ? Look at her just over-posing (always) and duck facing for the camera! God, she's just ridiculous & amazing 😀 (I saw 'This is 40' for the first time recently and her performance was so funny, obnoxious and heartbreaking at the same time. She's awesome.)ReplyCancel
I wonder is Bruce is getting another girl.ReplyCancel
Ant Man!ReplyCancel
I concur. Bruce is very geezer-looking. How could that have happened? He's not even 60 yet, but here he looks older than Harrison Ford.ReplyCancel

If you like to look at cooches, then here's Sienna Miller's
Orlando is looking very European.
Here's Judd Apatow's wife's tits.

Wow – Naomi looks .. not like herself. She's either been replaced, or is trying to look 10 years younger. I'm not sure I like it.
Oh look – Sienna thinks she's Wonder Woman with all those brass arm bands. Horrid, horrid slapper that she is.
Leslie Mann looks gorgeous, as always.
I wonder where Simon Baker's wife was … they're a lovely couple. I wish Simon would stop doing those nauseating ANZ adverts though – they're cheapening his brand.ReplyCancel
@PJ – I loved it that Mann's and Apatow's daughter was also in that film (she played the eldest daughter)ReplyCancel
Damn you! I read that as 'pooches' for some reason :-/ReplyCancel

Interested in buying an exchange-traded fund? This year you might instead have preferred owning an ETF company.
I'm referring to WisdomTree Investments (WETF). If you owned this stock entering 2013, you're up 41% as of Friday morning. The company's assets under management ballooned to $21 billion as of the end of January, up from $18.3 billion at Dec. 31 and $12.2 billion a year before that. Profits, and the stock price, tend to be driven by gains or losses in assets under management. That's for the simple reason that fund managers have sunk costs whether they manage $10 million or $10 billion. Shove more assets at the business and your margins expand.
If you suspect the stock may be over-owned because it's the only "pure" ETF company with publicly traded shares — BlackRock (BLK) and State Street (STT) do a lot more than ETFs — this hasn't translated into problems for the stock. Not now anyway.
The big 2013 runup looks like it is surviving this morning's earnings report. WisdomTree merely matched the earnings estimate of Sterne Agee analysts Jason Weyeneth and Alex Levine and undershot their margin expectations. But that's "in part reflecting the company's transparency," the analysts write. Partly because ETF flows are much easier to watch than money in and out of many mutual-fund companies, WTF's transparency "essentially only leaves the expense line items as a surprise," in their view.

so disappointed!
"Got these boots last winter, wore them maybe 4 times and the rubber split between the sole and upper on one boot. Never got around to returning them, but hauled them out again this year just to wear around the farm. After another 4 or 5 wears, the other boot split in exactly the same way. It's really too bad because otherwise they are really comfy, warm and cute-- just a shoddy product. Expected more from Sperry!"

Awesome Winter Boots!
"I bought these boots and was really worried that my calf was going to be too large to fit into these boots ... luckily they fit snug, but well. The boots themselves are very soft and comfortable ... they will be keeping me warm and dry.I was even able to wear thicker-type socks meant for winter sports, so they're definitely going to be used quite a bit in the winter. I personally think they're really nice-looking boots as well."

A comfy boot
"I've had these boots for almost a year now. They are warm, comfortable, and great to wear in rain and shine. Keep my legs warm. However, for some reason, perhaps the bottom of the shoe is too narrow, I find my self tripping at times. This has happened quite a few times. This scares me because I can seriously bend my ankle and hurt myself if I am not walk carefully."

Return to List of all PHA-NHLBI Award Winners
Division of Pulmonary and Critical CareJohns Hopkins University School of Medicine "Neurohormonal Activation in Scleroderma Related Pulmonary Hypertension"Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) August 1, 2009 - July 31, 2014
"Neurohormonal Activation in Scleroderma Related Pulmonary Hypertension"
Survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) related scleroderma is worse than in idiopathic PAH. The reasons for this survival difference are unclear but may be related to an exaggerated response to stress on the heart via the neurohormonal axis (NHA). Previous studies of patients with heart failure have shown that the response to stress on the heart through the NHA determines disease severity and survival and may be modified with specific medications. We believe similar mechanisms are involved in PAH related to scleroderma, may explain poor patient survival, and can potentially be modified by therapy. Our project focuses on defining the differences in NHA response to stress on the heart between these two forms of PAH and on identifying genetic factors that may predict the development of PAH, severity of disease and response to therapy.
The identification of factors that influence not only the severity of PAH but also the development of disease is of paramount importance to advance our understanding of the disease. Prior research has established the integral role of the NHA in heart failure; however, little is known about the NHA in PAH. Our study will examine the role of NHA in PAH to determine its relationship to disease severity and outcomes, and potentially define treatment pathways. Further, we hope to identify specific genetic risk factors for the development of PAH that could be applied in screening programs for at-risk patients, such as those with scleroderma.

Anonymous comments updateWhile the Legislature struggles with a final budget solution, Shoreline Community College continues working toward a package of budget reductions and organizational changes that officials hope will end up in the neighborhood of Olympia's plan.
Charting a course
Input on proposed organizational changes as a result of budget cuts will be sought from now through April 30. The following are currently scheduled meetings. Additional meetings will be announced as they are scheduled:
"We have a target number we think is close," SCC President Lee Lambert of the $1.65 million reduction plan announced March 12. "As we keep taking cuts like this, $5.5 million over the past five years, we have to adjust the college to these new realities."
The $1.65 million reduction plan includes proposed changes to the college organizational chart. Lambert said now is the time to look closely at those proposed changes as well as potential alternatives before the college moves ahead.
"College Council recommended adding some time to the process, and I agree," Lambert said. "We need time to talk about how we implement these cuts. That they need to be made isn't the point because, at the end of the day, we must get to whatever number the Legislature sets for us. This is painful work, but we can do it in a thoughtful and deliberative way."
Draft organizational charts reflecting the changes proposed by the vice presidents are online available for review, Lambert said. Meetings are scheduled to present the changes, including, a joint meeting of the Strategic Planning and Budget committees is scheduled for March 31 and an April 2 all-campus meeting. Other meetings will be announced as they are scheduled.
Comments, concerns and suggestions can be made through existing division/department communication channels. In addition, comments will be continue to be collected through the red suggestion boxes distributed around campus and an anonymous e-mail box. One change to that process is that comments won't be posted online (See related story).
"We can gather thoughts and input through April 30," Lambert said. "Then, the vice presidents will need some time to do their work. We'll present a final plan at an all-campus meeting on May 21."
Lambert reiterated earlier comments that while the details of organizational changes are being discussed during this period, the process of making reductions would move ahead. "We can always stop a process if necessary," Lambert said. "But we need to allow enough time, as outlined in the contracts, to have reductions in place by July 1. If we go past July 1, it just means additional cuts would be needed."

In response to concerns expressed by members of the campus community .the President's Senior Executive Team (PSET) recently reviewed the issue of posting on the College Web site the anonymous comments submitted as part of the budgeting process.
It has always been the intent of this administration to foster free and open communication. Through the very difficult financial times of recent years, soliciting ideas and comments from across the campus has been an important component of the budgeting process. While there are many communication opportunities through departments, committees and other official paths, some individuals are uncomfortable voicing views in these venues. In response, for the past two years, an anonymous e-mail account and physical suggestion boxes have been available for those who wish to provide input or otherwise express thoughts and opinions about the budget and the budget process. All of those anonymous comments, submitted by e-mail or paper, were reviewed by PSET as one of the many sources of data used in ongoing budget considerations.
As part of identifying budget considerations, PSET worked within the established governance structure to establish expectations for the budgeting process. One result of that work is a set of guidelines about process transparency. An expectation set out in those guidelines is that all data used in determining the College budget would be shared with the campus. The anonymous comments are part of that data. Other data were also used and shared, including legislative mandates, internal and external costs, contract language and more. In addition, the question of sharing the anonymous comments was reviewed and approved at least twice by College Council, once on Feb. 16, 2010, prior to posting, and again on March 16, 2010, after the posting.
All of the data shared publically, including the anonymous comments, are public records. As a public agency, Shoreline Community College is required by law to disclose public records upon request. However, the College can determine how those records are made available and this is the point of discussion that PSET is reviewing again.
As of March 23 2010, the anonymous comments will be removed from the College Web site. A printed copy will be available at the library circulation desk for review. Printed copies of the comments will also be available for review in the Human Resources office upon written request, following the established public records disclosure process. Copies of the comments will also be made available to representatives of both Faculty and Classified unions, and employees may request to review those documents through their respective union representatives.
Through April 30, the College will continue to accept anonymous comments to provide relevant information for budget and organizational planning. Guiding language recommended by College Council at the March 16 meeting has been added to the online form as well as the suggestion boxes. Moving forward, it is hoped that this communication channel will be used as originally intended, to gather thoughtful input toward the goal of making Shoreline Community College a better place to work and learn.
With a $1.65 million reduction already announced, Shoreline Community College officials said Tuesday they'll lengthen the timeline for the next budget-cutting phase: implementation.
"We have some flexibility," SCC President Lee Lambert said at the March 16, 2010, meeting of the College Council. The Council and Lambert agreed to add a month to the comment and feedback period for the plan unveiled at a March 12 all-campus meeting. Originally, the idea was to gather feedback until the next all-campus meeting, April 2, but the new target date is April 30.
The extension proposal came from Gary Parks, Council member and faculty union representative. "It's difficult to parse out a meaningful response (by April 2) with finals, then non-contract days and then week one of Spring Quarter," Parks told the council. Classified union representative Paul Fernandez supported the request saying, "The classified union doesn't meet until (April) 7, so this should be postponed."
Lambert said allowing more time wasn't a problem, as long as it gets used for review of the restructuring details and not the cuts. Lambert explained that faculty contract language means the reduction-in-force process needs about 60 days. With June 15 as the final contract day, RIF notices would need to start no later than April 15. While only one faculty RIF is planned, Lambert noted that a delay could push the process into Fall Quarter and potentially mean additional cuts.
If a change were needed, "We can always pull back," Lambert said. "But we need to start on time."
Classified employees in positions targeted for reduction may have bumping rights, potentially displacing less-senior classified workers, Lambert said. However, Fernandez said there would be "very little of that," this year. Lambert acknowledged the comment, noting there are four potential layoffs of classified employees.
"I'm not too concerned that we couldn't get things done by June 30," Lambert said.
In the end, the Council voted to recommend a package of input-gathering moves, including:

Next steps
The painful process of implementing budget cuts for 2010-11 is underway at Shoreline Community College.
With the state Legislature missing its deadline and a final target uncertain, college officials on Friday, March 12, 2010 announced a plan to cut $1.65 million, falling within the hoped-for range of $1.3 million and $1.8 million.
"Based on the information we have, $1.65 million is our best estimate," said SCC President Lee Lambert. "However, we think this plan may be able to stretch to about $1.8 million. If Olympia goes beyond that, we'll have to rethink this."
In the plan announced at an all-campus meeting, Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell outlined just where the cuts will be made, including cutting 24 positions. Of those 24, 14 are either currently vacant or are anticipated for retirement. The plan identifies 10 positions in which the current employees would go through the appropriate departure procedure, based on their employment category. Of the 10, four are classified employees, four are administrative exempt and two are faculty.
All of the employees directly affected by the cuts received the news from Lambert in private meetings prior to the all-campus presentation. "I just think it's my responsibility to do that and employees have a right to hear this very difficult news from me and not in a public setting," Lambert said.
One of the bigger changes as a result of the cuts comes in the Center for Business and Continuing Education. The director position, two other currently filled positions and two vacant positions will be eliminated. Responsibility for the program will move under the Dean of Workforce Development.
"This is a very difficult move," Lambert said. CBCE is housed off-campus in the Lake Forest Park Towne Center shopping mall. Lambert said the college will be looking for ways to either better utilize or reduce the cost of that space. "I've spoken with Lake Forest Park City officials and we will be in talks with mall ownership," he said.
Vice President for Academic Affairs John Backes said that over the past three years, CBCE has been a net loss to the college on the order of $600,000 to $800,000. "This is not the fault of the staff, but we can no longer support CBCE as currently structured," he said. Backes said that the program residing in a small district and a failing economy contributed to the unfortunate status of the center.
Continuing Education is part of the state mandate for community colleges. Moving forward, Backes said SCC will look at alternatives later and will enter talks with Lake Washington Technical College about collaborating to provide continuing education programs across both college districts. Backes said that the collaboration would provide more than double what the current marketing area is. Another possibility is to go after more contract training. Some CBCE staff and programs will remain, including the Business Accelerator, a business training and consulting services program offered in partnership with the City of Shoreline and the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce.
Other organizational changes include moving the Technical Support Services department into Campbell's area from Academic Affairs. A number of shifts will come within Academic Affairs in an attempt to even the workload on the four deans.
In addition, four director positions will be collapsed into two. In one case in Academic Affairs, Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language and Workforce duties will all go to one director. In the other instance, Enrollment Services and Financial Aid duties will be rolled into one.
While cuts are always hard, Lambert said the hiring freeze imposed by the Legislature in February made this effort particularly difficult, especially because the trend of budget cutting is expected to continue for at least the next two years, he said.
"The vice presidents spent considerable time trying to craft a plan that would look forward," Lambert said. "With state revenue predictions, it made sense to make cuts in as strategic a way as possible. The freeze made much of that impossible."
While the plan announced on March 12 is based on the information available, that information is also subject to change, Lambert said.
For starters, the Legislature missed the March 11 session-end deadline and Gov. Chris Gregoire has called a special session starting Monday, March 15. "We don't think there will be significant changes to the overall cut for higher education, but until they pass a budget, we just don't know," Lambert said.
Then, while implications of staffing reductions have been considered, individual SCC employees may make choices that change how those reductions play out under contractual rights. Also, Lambert has said that any employee directly impacted by the cuts can come to him to offer alternatives or additional information that may adjust the plan.
"We think the plan is the best compromise, but if somebody offers a better idea, or has facts that we just got wrong, of course we'd take that into consideration." Lambert said.
A number of questions were raised at the all-campus meeting, including why furloughs weren't used to reduce costs. The Legislature passed a bill allowing furloughs, along with other options, to be used in lieu of layoffs.
"We looked at furloughs," Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs Stephen Smith said. "The problem is, if we use furloughs and then the Legislature mandates them, it could be a double-whammy."
Lambert added that he's very sensitive to options that reduce employees' salaries. "We have classified employees who could probably qualify for food stamps" Lambert said. "I want to be mindful of that."
Faculty member and union representative Gary Parks pointed out an apparent discrepancy in the some of the numbers shown during the meeting. In checking later, Campbell found Parks was correct.
"Due to my transcription error, the financial impact on existing faculty positions held is $142,949, not the $226,608 as shown during the meeting," Campbell said, adding that the slide available by hyperlink is now correct . "Consequently, the financial impact on vacant/retired faculty positions is $387,729, not the $329,472 that was shown.
"However, the overall reduction is the same - $1,648,603."
Phillip Barrett has joined the Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees.
"I'm looking forward to serving," said Barrett, senior vice president and Chief Technology Officer for RealNetworks Home Entertainment. "Community colleges fulfill a very important role. A particular focus for me will be efforts in educating the workforce."
A Shoreline resident, Barrett is also vice president, treasurer and secretary of the Barrett Family Foundation, which has been a strong supporter of public schools. He and his wife volunteer at the public school attended by their children.
"The college is fortunate to have his combination of vision, business expertise and community commitment on the Board of Trustees," said SCC President Lee Lambert. "Higher education is facing new challenges and I look forward to Trustee Barrett's leadership."
Barrett joined the five-member board following his appointment Monday, March 8, 2010, by Gov. Chris Gregoire. He is taking over the spot held by Richard Stucky, whose term expired in September. Stucky had continued to serve until an appointment could be made.
"I've enjoyed my five-plus years on the board," said Stucky, a respected community member and former Shoreline School District educator. "I feel I was a contributing member of the board through some difficult times."
Lambert praised Stucky's service and support.
"Dick always had the best interests of the students and the college at heart," Lambert said. "I very much appreciate his leadership and the time and work he gave to the college."
Barrett attended high school in Honolulu, earned a bachelor's degree in math from Rutgers University and a master's in computer science in 1978 from the University of Wisconsin. Before his current position with RealNetworks Home Entertainment, he held positions as senior strategic adviser and senior vice president of consumer products at RealNetworks. He was also development manager/group manager at Microsoft. Barrett worked as an engineer for Intel near Portland, Ore. He also taught classes for Portland Community College that were located at Intel.
Barrett also found time to take a break.
"I joined RealNetworks to run software development and was responsible for RealAudio, the first streaming media server and player," Barrett said in an online profile. "I was also responsible for the creation of the Real Jukebox product. Later, I ran the Consumer Products group. I took early retirement to spend time with my pre-teen kids."
Lambert said Barrett's first Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled to be March 17.

Shoreline Community College is now officially "veterans friendly."
"As a veteran and an Army brat, I understand the difficulty of transitioning from the team-oriented structure of the military to the less structured environment of college," SCC President Lee Lambert told the audience before the signing. "I couldn't be prouder of this college and the efforts to make our veterans feel welcome."
The designation became official with the signing of a memorandum of understanding signed March 4, 2010, at the college's 2nd Annual Veterans Roundtable. Signing the agreement were SCC President Lee Lambert, state Veterans Affairs Director John Lee and Mike Gregoire, husband of Gov. Chris Gregoire and an advocate for veterans.
"I'm very pleased to see a campus so dedicated to veterans and veterans' issues," Gregoire said. A Vietnam veteran, Gregoire said he was fortunate to have an older brother who'd also served there for someone to talk to about the experience.
Also a Vietnam veteran, VA Director Lee noted that the commitment of Shoreline Community College is indicative of the huge shift in public support from the Vietnam era. "I was there in 1968-69," Lee said, adding that the reception for many returning Vietnam veterans was not supportive. "Now, whether you support the conflict or not, no one is making disparaging remarks about the men and women who are serving."
Lee said the agreement's designation represents more than being just friendly to veterans. "The U.S. has the best veteran's benefits in the world," Lee said. "They are also the most complicated."
To help navigate those benefits, Shoreline Community College has a designated adviser, a Certifying Official, necessary for military transcript and record review as well as advising on various GI Bill benefits.
Robert Lemmons said during a panel discussion that finding that dedicated adviser was a pleasant surprise when he arrived at Shoreline to use his benefits. "They are a big help," Lemmons said.
Panel member Emily Oelnick echoed the feeling.
"I enlisted when I was 18. I went from my mom to the Army," Oelnick said. "When I got here, I was cut off from the support system I'd had in the Army. I didn't know anything. The Certifying Official took care of everything, had all my paperwork ready to go."
The agreement actually makes Shoreline a member of Partners for Veteran Supportive Campuses. As a partner campus, Shoreline will work to:
"We want veterans to know that we are here to help them in any way," said Kim Thompson, Director of Special Services at Shoreline Community College.

Great shoes for underpronators
"These shoes have a wide base that helps discourage wrong angle of foot. The fabric material is very thin and lets lots of air through - this is great if using it as an indoor only shoe, but would be a big problem if used for regular outdoor use. My feet never feel hot in them thanks to this air circulation. The insole of these shoes was very flat, with no arch support, but they were removable so that I could replace them with my desired green Superfeet insoles. Now they are perfect shoes to prevent leg and foot pain when standing on my feet much of the day. They fit true to size and required no "break in" period."

"These are super comfy just like every other pair of Saucony's I've ever owned. But, after wearing these for a couple of months, the netting is tearing where my toes hit the top of the shoe. I love that they are comfortable, but I can't run around with toe holes."

My Mom's Favorite Sneaker!!!
"I ordered these for my mother last week, because her old one's were quite worn, as soon as she tried them on she commented, "Exacto!" Both she and I are "underpronators," and these were specified for such a gait. I'm so happy she also expressed that this pair had just the right amount of purple. Saucony seems to be my mom's favorite sneaker make, as they are very light (at least this model)."

Very cute shoes
"These are made of real cork (not printed plastic) and be advised that, though these are listed as synthetic leather, they are lined with leather. This is important for those of us who don't wear leather.On the fit, they seem to run a little short and the opening of the toebox is tight. This is a concern if you don't have long skinny toes."

Love, Love, Love These Shoes!!!
"I ordered these shoes first in Coral size 71/2 and found they ran a little narrow for my slightly wide foot. I loved the coral color so much that I took a chance on the blue and ordered them in an 8 and WOW, my computer screen did not do the color enough justice! The blue is VERY Vibrant and I absolutely love them!!! The size 8 fit much better in width, so I would recommend going up a 1/2 size. Ladies if you're hesitating.....DON'T!!! You absolutely "NEED" these shoes and yes ladies...they are calling YOUR name!!!! Enjoy!"

ON THIS PAGE: You will find a list of the common tests, procedures, and scans that doctors can use to find out what's wrong and identify the cause of the problem. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Doctors use many tests to diagnose a brain tumor, determine if it is cancerous, and if so, find out if it has spread to another part of the body, called metastasis. Some tests may also determine which treatments may be the most effective. For most tumors, a biopsy is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis. If a biopsy is not possible, the doctor may suggest other tests that will help make a diagnosis. Imaging tests may be used to find out whether the tumor has spread.
This list describes options for diagnosing ependymoma, and not all tests listed will be used for every child. Your child's doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
Age and medical condition
Type of tumor suspected
Signs and symptoms
Previous test results
In addition to a physical examination, the following tests may be used to diagnose ependymoma:
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan. A CT scan creates a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body with an x-ray machine. A computer then combines these images into a detailed, cross-sectional view that shows any abnormalities or tumors. A CT scan can also be used to measure the tumor's size. Sometimes, a special dye called a contrast medium is given before the scan to provide better detail on the image. This dye can be injected into a patient's vein or given as a pill to swallow.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses magnetic fields, not x-rays, to produce detailed images of the body. MRI can also be used to measure the tumor's size. A contrast medium is given before the scan to create a clearer picture. This dye can be injected into a patient's vein or given as a pill to swallow. A spinal MRI may be used to find out if the tumor has spread to the spine.
Biopsy. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope. Other tests can suggest that a tumor is present, but only a biopsy can make a definite diagnosis. A pathologist then analyzes the sample(s). A pathologist is a doctor who specializes in interpreting laboratory tests and evaluating cells, tissues, and organs to diagnose disease. For ependymoma, surgery is needed to get a sample of tissue (see Treatment Options).
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap). A lumbar puncture is a procedure in which a doctor uses a needle to take a sample of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to look for tumor cells. CSF is the fluid that flows around the brain and the spinal cord. Doctors generally give an anesthetic to numb the lower back before the procedure. This procedure is generally done after ependymoma is diagnosed and the tumor is removed.
After diagnostic tests are done, your child's doctor will review all of the results with you. If the diagnosis is ependymoma, these results also help the doctor describe the tumor; this is called staging and grading.
The next section in this guide is Stages and Grades, and it explains the system doctors use to describe the extent of the disease. Or, use the menu on the side of your screen to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Little Capri Ware is in need of some help. Her father Michael is a former resident of Orangeville and grew up in Emery County. Little Capri has Ebstein's Anamoly stage 3, pulmonary stenosis and SVT. Michael said, "We found out two weeks before she was born, my wife Kendra went to the ER because she was sick. They did an ultra sound, noticed her heart and life-flighted her via ambulance to the University of Utah where she stayed until Capri was born.
"We have had a lot of help since Capri's birth. The LDS church held a cupcake fundraiser to help us pay for gas to get back and forth to the hospital. Our neighbors did all of our yard work, and made us meals during the two months at the NICU
"We were told Capri had a 5 percent chance of living longer than a few minutes. That we needed to prepare for her death because babies with Ebstein's this severe just don't live very long. She is our miracle baby and we want to do everything possible to keep her with us for as long as we can. She will need open heart surgery next year at the MAYO clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"We will be holding a fundraiser on Dec. 21. It's a Breakfast with Santa Fundraiser in the founders room at the Zions Bank building located in downtown Salt Lake City (across from City Creek). Tickets will be $10 a person at the event or $9 RSVP online at www.fightforcapri.com, and will include a pancake breakfast, live entertainment, a family picture with Santa and access to the silent auction. We have had so many things donated from makeup baskets to hot air balloon rides to a playstation 3 and a lot more that is up for auction. For all of the auction items and sponsors, those interested can go to www.fightforcapri.com
"We would love for people to stop by while they are downtown doing their last minute shopping. We have a lot of gifts for those hard to buy for family members "Mainly now we just need people to attend and spread the word The fundraiser is on Dec. 21 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Zions bank building 1 Main Street Salt Lake City 18th floor.
"Our goal for the fundraiser is to help with our three-four week trip/stay in Minnesota. The trip for the surgery will cost close to $20,000. Our goal is to raise half of that. For more information go to www.fightforcapri.com that has a link to my email, our address, RSVP for tickets, place an online bid for the auction, make a donation, buy a fundraiser T-shirt or just get more information in general," said Ware.
Editor's note: This is a story which ran on the Emery County Progress website. The fundraiser was on Saturday, but you can still contribute on the website www.fightforcapri.com to help this little girl and her family.
