3.1: Introduction
This algebra module has been designed to introduce grade 1 students to ten key concepts of algebra and to enhance their problem solving skills. Each section begins with a brief description of the problem set and the concepts and skills developed. This is followed by the solutions to problems in the problem set. The first problem in each set is the "teaching problem." It is completed following the five-step problem solving model and is designed to be used by teachers as the centerpiece of the instructional program. The teaching problem, to be completed by students with the teacher's guidance, is followed by problems to be completed by the students working on their own or in pairs.
This module may be used as an algebra unit to complement the existing instructional program. It also may be used to show connections between algebra and the strands of number and measurement, to provide practice of number computational algorithms, and to reinforce problem solving skills.
The Extra for Experts provides additional opportunities for students to apply newly learned concepts and skills to the solution of problems like those developed in this Algebra module.
The Key Algebraic Concepts
In this module, students explore equal and unequal relationships by interpreting and reasoning about pictures of pan balances. Their job is to figure out which boxes to place in an empty pan to balance the weight in the other pan. This is preparation for the study of variables as unknowns in equations, and reinforcing the concept that there are often multiple solutions to a problem.
Variables as unknowns:
Variables as varying quantities:
Proportional Reasoning:
A major method for solving algebraic problems is by reasoning proportionally. Proportional reasoning is sometimes called "multiplicative reasoning," because it requires application of multiplication or its inverse, division. In this module, students reason proportionally when, given the price of one silly sticker, they compute the cost of multiple sets of the stickers.
Interpret Representations:
Mathematical relationships can be displayed in a variety of ways including with text, tables, graphs, diagrams and with symbols. Having students interpret these types of displays and use the data in the displays to solve problems is critical to success with the study of algebra. In this module, students interpret pan balances, circle and arrow grid diagrams, tables of values, and weight scales.
Write Equations:
Although an equation is a symbolic representation of a mathematical relationship, the writing of an equation is a key algebraic skill and one that requires separate attention and instruction. In this module, students learn to write letter and number equations for the various collections of weights that can balance the pans.
The Problem Solving Five-Step Model
The model that we recommend to help students move through the solution problems has five steps:
Describe focuses students' attention on the information in the problem display. In some cases, the display is a diagram. Other times it is a table, graph, equation, or model, or a combination of any of these. Having students tell what they see will help them interpret the problem and identify key facts needed to proceed with the solution method.
My Job helps students focus on the task by having them tell what they have to do, that is, rephrase the problem in their own words.
Plan requires identification of the steps to follow to solve the problem and helps students focus on the first step. Knowing where to start is often the most difficult part of the solution process.
Solve is putting the plan to work and showing the steps.
Check is used to verify the answer.
We recommend that you "model" these steps in your instruction with the first problem in each problem set and that you encourage your students to follow the steps when solving the problems and when relating their solution processes to others.
Note: Although the instructional pages show only one solution plan, many of the problems have more than one correct solution path. These problems provide excellent opportunities for engaging your students in algebraic conversations about how their solutions are the same, how they differ, and perhaps, which solution method is "most elegant.

In the New York Times on Sunday, Paul Lim discussed the link between a countries economic growth rate and its stock-market returns. The lesson: There aren't any.
Writing about the U.S. stock market, he lays out how sluggish U.S. economic and corporate-earnings growth are these days:
…the economy is still expected to grow at only a tepid annual rate of 2 percent. Corporate earnings growth, meanwhile, has fallen from a rate of more than 17% in the third quarter of last year to just 2 percent today. And revenue among companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is essentially flat, a sign that the global economy is slowing.
Yet despite the downbeat data, "[h]istory has shown that lousy economic conditions, or even dismal corporate results, don't necessarily lead to disappointing stock market returns in any given year — or decade, for that matter," Lim writes.
Lim was discussing U.S. stock returns, but the lesson is just as important—if not more so—for investors in emerging-market nations. We often here how one country is supposed to grow at a lightning-quick rate, which makes it a better investment bet, while another's slothful growth means stay away.

Michelle Obama Goes Skiing in Colorado
by Keith Koffler on February 19, 2011, 11:34 am
First Lady Michelle Obama is on a private family trip in Colorado where she is skiing with daughters Sasha and Malia, according to an administration official.
The First Lady and several close friends are chaperoning their children on a ski trip, the official told the press pool reporter who is following President Obama today.
Reports coming out of Colorado say she arrived Friday night and is staying at the Sebastian Hotel on Vail Mountain. Rooms start at $605 per night for a room with two queen beds and head north of $2,000 for multi-bedroom suites.
Heres a description from the hotels website:
For the best in Colorado vacations, stay at The Sebastian - Vail and enjoy Vails newest boutiqueslopeside hotel. In the heart of the Vail Village, The Sebastian is welcoming and pulsing with life. Theres Bloom Spa, Frost Bar, Market for nibbles, our visionary Block 16 restaurant. Theres a mountain-view pool, hot tubs and a roaring fire pit. Base Camp offers ski-in ski-out access from Vails Vista Bahn lift, just at the foot of Vail Mountain. Our ski valets will help you into warm ski boots and out onto the mountain.
Mrs. Obama has decided to jet out to Vail instead of visiting slopes closer to Washington DC in Virginia or Pennsylvania despite already incurring criticism for taking opulent excursions, particularly a trip last summer to Spain. There, she stayed at the countrys swankest hotel and, like this weekend, was traveling without her husband.
Mrs. Obama also raised eyebrows in December when she left earlier than President Obama for their annual vacation in Hawaii, incurring added expenses for taxpayers that likely ran well in excess of $100,000.
The trip to Vail, which almost certainly requires use of a large Air Force jet, would likely be much more expensive for taxpayers than a shorter journey by chopper or motorcade to a resort near Washington. Mrs. Obama will likely pay for a portion of her trip, but many costs of a first ladys travel are borne by taxpayers.
President Obama today went to serve as the parent coach for for Sashas basketball team, even though Sasha was not there.
Meanwhile, Vice President Biden and his wife are spending the weekend in Key Largo.

Although I only got into it recently, I love Detective Conan. I love the exciting deductions and quirky mishaps that occur along the road of a great mystery show...and best of all, despite the murder, guns and violence...it remains child friendly!
If you haven't heard of the series before, its about Kudou Shinichi, a high school detective who witnessed a shady deal by somesecret organization. One of the members snuck behind him and drugged him with an experimental pill. It caused him to shrink back to the size of a child.

The cat returns is one of the many films in the Studio Ghibli collection. It's a simple story about a girl who saves a cat and is whisked away to the Cat Kingdom against her will and almost forced into marriage with Prince Lune. Haru is just an ordinary girl, she doesn't want to be married: but does this mean she regrets saving the cat?
The story is sweet and satisfying, although it feels short at around 75minutes in length, it ticks all the boxes. Haru's meeting with Baron, her saviour and guide marks the start of a journey. A journey not only to escape the Cat Kingdom, well, prevent being... See full review
C: The Money and Soul of Possibilty Control Story (8/10) Well, the story seems dull from just a quick plot summary but I found it impressive although there is an audience that somehow claimed it to be confusing. There is alot going on to amuse you and loads of theories you think on along the way as to justify events. The whole economy thing adds a whole new twist to the usual shounen anime. It follows a 19 year old university student and, along the way, his friends, teacher, and his future- quite literally. After being pulled into offering up his future as collateral for money, he wants to change... See full review
Story: (8/10)
I enjoyed the series plotline to a great extent. It always had something happening (if nothing happened, I guess it would be rather boring). I stumbled upon it by chance and after reading the tags and synopsis, I thought that would be a nice thing to watch, what I don't want to do is blow the storyline for everyone but what i can say is that the aberrations that Araragi-san and Senjogahara-san encounter. Of course even with the supernatural side of the story, it even shows the typical story of a tsundere's relationship. If, like me, you've watched a fair few anime... See full review
Story(10/10) Personally, I found the story absolutely brilliant. It first came across as a series of short stories which were all genius themselves. I am a sucker for a good mystery story with a little supernatural factor which is beautifully covered by Bones' attempt to convert the light novels into this fabulous anime. The story got deeper and deeper and i found myself getting drawn deeper into the anime making me want to know the ending but at the same time I was wishing for it not to end. It started my year of a really good note with its creativity and plot twists. Animation(9/10) I... See full review
I enjoyed the anime up until the point where it got to the endong. I found the storyline easy to follow, the characters good but i felt the pace of the story could have been changed. After watching, i realised how popular the 'right eye' thing was, i started 11eyes after and it felt like a rip off to be honest. Its a nice anime but just has a very disappointing ending in my opinion. thanks for reading, sorry its really brief.See full review

UTSA server
Increased digital storage space is coming May 29
(May 25, 2006)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) has worked for several months to increase the digital file storage space known as the "i-drive" -- and it's almost here. Effective Monday, May 29, i-drive space will nearly triple.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Currently, each UTSA department is allocated 350 MB per faculty and staff member on the i-drive. Each faculty and staff member now will have 1 GB of storage on the i-drive.
Housed on an OIT server, the i-drive stores commonly used data files that are backed up to tape for added security. Each department's i-drive directory contains a "common" folder that can be used to share files with peers in the same department or division.
For more information, visit the OIT i-drive Web site.

September 30!
I could've sworn there was a thread about the Tick, but I can't find it. (If it still exists, feel free to merge!)Quote:
The Tick, by the way, includes every episode of the series on 2 discs, presented in anamorphic widescreen video with Dolby Surround audio. You'll also get trailers and audio commentary by producer Barry Sonnenfeld and Ben Edlund (we'd been hoping Patrick Warburten would contribute as well - he told us a few months ago that he'd be willing to - but it seems it wasn't to be).

Care for the environment and respectful use of our common natural resources are natural components in operating Volvo Penta facilities. Environmental programmes are active and all production plants are certified to ISO 14001.Environmental requirements for Volvo Group production facilities are followed at all our plants. These requirements include minimum performance levels in e g use of chemicals, emissions to air and water, waste management and environmental organisation.In the Volvo Penta Vara plant in the south of Sweden, large efforts have been made to reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide and to phase out hazardous chemicals. Mostly water based paint and metal-working fluids are now used. The Vara plant was certified to ISO 14001 in 1996.
The Volvo Penta Marine Propulsion plant in Lexington, Tennessee, has effectively reduced emissions of solvents and hazardous waste through more efficient paint processes. Water consumption has been cut by more than 50 % since 1995. The Lexington plant got its ISO 14001 certificate in 1999.The Volvo common diesel engine factory in Skövde was certified to ISO 14001 in 1998. Our Chinese facility in Wuxi got its ISO 14001 certificate in 2003.Environmental data for all Volvo Group production plants are presented in the report "Environmental data 2004".

Battlestar Galactica is coming Back! Whoo-hoo!
Deep Space Nine's writer-producer Ron Moore is helming the new adventures of BattleStar Galactica!
They start filming in March.
I'll post more news as I get it. Everyone else feel free to jump in!
There will be these characters:
a Woman President of the Colonies, and love interest for...
Adama - Military Commander
Baltar - computer programming genius with evil tendancies
Apollo - estranged son of Adama, starfighter pilot
Starbuck - a girl this time! Love interest for Apollo, a fighter pilot
Executive Officer - was it Tyler? the black man who pilots report to
Number - 6 - A girl and Cylon-made human replica that seduced Baltar into treachery.
and that will be the core cast I believe, as the ship "leads a rag-tag fleet of survivors" to find earth!
And the Cylons are coming to get them!
Explanation for the Cylons is offered that the human colonists created them - but they revolted when they gained full intelligence. Sure, it's "Terminator in space," but it's darn cool!
Yaaaay! BattleStar is back!

ACDSee has a feature that helps find and remove duplicate copies of files. I have ACDSee, but since I discovered the great tagging and search features in Vista (it's one redeeming feature! ) I uninstalled ACDSee. It drove me insane with it's slow performance and constant crashing. Anyway, I remember my edition having a feature to remove duplicates, but I don't remember where it is located. Try to search the help menu and I think you will find it quickly.
Posted 25 April 2009 - 10:10 AM
If you go to Optimize Database, there is a box you can check I think for detecting duplicates. Give that a shot and let us know if that doesn't work.

Also if you are using the duplicate finder- go in small batches.
Duplicate finder seems to work better on subsets. When you throw a large amount of files at it, its difficult to use.

Waiting for Mentor
Every year the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota assesses the state of mentoring in Minnesota.
The 2011 findings are very similar to what is seen in the local Kinship Partners service area of Crow Wing County, southern Cass County and the Staples-Motley communities.
The need for quality mentoring continues to grow as families struggle economically and seek safe places to live. Within the survey, 196,592 young people had access to mentoring experiences in 88 mentor programs. Nearly 75 percent of these experiences last at least nine months.
Locally, the average length of a Kinship Partners relationship is three years. As is the case statewide, more women than men volunteer to mentor and boys wait longer than girls before finding a mentor.
The best method to recruit new mentors is usually word of mouth and hearing about positive experiences from current mentors.
Our local office is also pleased by the consistent response generated from articles in our area newspapers.
Take a moment to consider 8-year-old Darrin from Pequot Lakes. His parents have recently divorced and he is eager to learn more about wildlife, fishing and woodworking. He's a top reader and is an excellent student and fascinated with history, especially Native American and military.
When he's not outdoors, Darrin likes to cook and put puzzles together with his younger sister.
For more information about Darrin or any of the children waiting for mentors, call 218-454-8016 or email email@example.com.

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi
Rashid was born in Cairo in 1958. He studied architecture in Canada and in the United States, before opening his New York Asymptote Studio in 1988. He holds various teaches posts worldwide, and with his studio has designed a vast range of works that place him well ahead of his peers in the field of digital design. His projects span from experimental spatial installations to digital architecture. His most innovative works include two multi-dimensional and interactive architectural environments, i.e. the New York Stock Exchange Virtual Trading Floor and the Guggenheim Virtual Museum.
Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, founders and principals of Asymptote Architecture, have received international acclaim for their innovative work and contribution to design excellence.

"The US has been particularly frustrated at the deterioration in relations between Tokyo and Seoul, as it believes that relationship is important to help check the rise of China in the region, which is one reason that some high-profile Asia experts in the US have been urging Mr Obama to visit South Korea."
US President Barack Obama has been drawn into the tense relations between Japan and South Korea, America's two closest allies in the region, even before he has officially revealed his planned Asia trip in April.
The sensitivities surrounding his itinerary highlight the difficulties facing the US as it seeks to implement its "pivot" to Asia amid a contest for power in the region with an increasingly confident China.
Tensions in the Pacific are high because of territorial disputes between China and its neighbours, in addition to concerns in Beijing and Seoul about the actions and rhetoric of Shinzo Abe, Japan's prime minister.

We feed BB also and I never went over 2 and a half cups of food. Especially after 6 months - she has stopped eating her mid meal all on her own. Since then, she has one cup in the morning and one in the afternoon. She is a year old.
We feed BB also and I never went over 2 and a half cups of food. Especially after 6 months - she has stopped eating her mid meal all on her own. Since then, she has one cup in the morning and one in the afternoon. She is a year old.
I switched her right at about 6 months to adult lamb and rice formula. I am in process of switching her again now to the Wilderness Salmon large breed formula. Her stools have always been fine but she is shedding a lot lately.
my pup had same problem with Blue buffalo. he had several spouts of bad diarreha consistent soft stools. Samething, vet said no worms or bacteria. His stool seemed to get a lot better on the Rx dog food called ID but once he was returned back on BB it was soft again.
We got sick of it and just made a total switch to Taste of the wild bison puppy food and his stool is great now! very formed and hard and he seems to love his food.
I know BB is supposed to be a good food but I spoke with another lab owner who had almost the exact same problem as me and she said to switch foods asap.
Our vet said it wasn't the food, but after switching my pup's GI tract is finally in check.
If it's something simple, say the particular food, make any changes slowly and give the dog time to adjust to the change. When changing food for example, I might mix old food and new in a ratio of say 3:1 for a couple of days...then even portions for a couple of days....then 1:3. Most dogs you don't need to take this time but yours has shown a sensitivity to something that needs to be taken into account. Depending on the quality of the food, 3 cups a day sounds a bit much. My 35-40 pound adults eat 1 1/2 cups of Eukanuba Performance for reference. You may simply be pushing too much food into the gut so that it doesn't have time to fully digest it.
One thing that must be considered with prolonged cases of stool problems....exocrine pancreatic insufficiency(EPI). She's a bit young to have developed this but...
Did you take a stool sample to the vet? In all cases like this, a plastic baggie should accompany the dog. EPI is marked by a sort of grayish stool color. Another symptom of EPI is stool eating. The stool may be runny or firm depending on whether there's an accompanying (secondary) intestinal infection. Just to be sure, take the sample to the vet and ask if it could be EPI. EPI is not likely but should be ruled out.

Mine was in the same boat. I think her food was too rich. I tried multiple foods: Taste of the Wild, Nutro, Extreme. Finally tried Pro Plan Performance and the stool firmed up immediately.

Been dealing with a runny stool for 2 weeks now. Dog was on Loyall Professional at the trainer but I switched to the Loyall active adult when I got him home but cant seem to get rid of the runny stools. Any ideas? Should I put him back on the professional? Had him checked at the vet and everything is good with the stool just runs loose. Was soft serve for the last week then went to complete loose over weekend and back to soft serve this morning.

Stark Gets 50 Years For Husband's Slaying
SPOKANE - Despite appeals for a new trial and claims of a new witness, Judge Tari Eitzen moved forward with sentencing convicted killer Shellye Stark for the murder of her husband.
Stark was sentenced to 610 months in prison for the slaying of her estranged husband Dale Stark, who she shot three times in the back after he returned home from a business trip in December of 2007.
During Thursday's sentencing hearing Stark attempted a battery of appeals for new trials and claims of new testimony from a new witness, but Judge Eitzen rebuffed her advances and pressed forward with her sentencing.
Stark's attorney asked for a lesser sentence of 25 years but Judge Eitzen agreed with prosecutors' recommendation that Stark receive the maximum sentence which is roughly equivalent to 50 years and eight months in prison.
Shellye Stark acknowledged this was a life sentence for her because she will be in her 90s when she's finally released from prison. Stark had tears in her eyes during much of her sentencing.
"I would like to say ever since that moment I have been deeply remorseful," Stark told the court. "I offer no excuse but nothing but regret and remorse and it is from the bottom of my heart I say I miss my husband. I wanted him to be happy."
She cried as she apologized to her husband's family and then cried when Dale's friend Richard Terzieff asked Judge Eitzen to give Shellye a life sentence.
"The defendant cowardly shot him in the back and finished him off while he was on the ground," Terzieff said.
"Do I think she would do this again, yes I believe without a reasonable doubt she would if provoked not hesitate to murder again," Brandi Hicking said.
Stark then cried again the victim impact statements ended and Judge Eitzen read her sentence.
She now has 30 days to appeal her sentencing.

After a shaky start, David Ferrer's pursuit of a third-straight and record fourth overall Auckland men's open tennis title is back on track.
Ferrer breezed through his Heineken Open quarter-final against Lukas Lacko 6-2, 6-1 in just 54 minutes yesterday. The light work out would have been just what the physiotherapist ordered after Ferrer's gruelling three-setter against Yen-Hsun Lu on Wednesday night.
Ferrer was badly out of sorts against the Taiwanese, although the Spaniard implied he had just as much trouble with the speedy Stanley Street surface as his dogged opponent.
Yesterday, however, the world No 5 was well and truly dialled in, breaking the Slovakian Lacko's service early in both sets and then pretty much putting it auto pilot from there.
"The first round, it was difficult to play good," Ferrer said.
"It was a surprise with the court being fast. [Yesterday] I know that. I try to improve my game and have more focus. I was more convinced with my game today."
So were those watching. On the evidence of his first hit out it was hard to see Ferrer negotiating a top half of the draw that included former world No 2 Tommy Haas, and Gael Monfils, the enigmatic Frenchman who has proved the wildest of wildcards.
Ferrer put his early woobles down to the increased pace of the court, an issue that had caught many players by surprise. However once he adjusted it wasn't a problem for Ferrer, who like many Europeans is most comfortable on clay.
"I don't have any problem to play on fast courts," he said. "I have to adapt to these type of courts."
With the winner of last night's final quarter-final Monfils standing in his way, followed by a possible assignment either Sam Querrey or Philipp Kohlschreiber, Ferrer's road to another title now gets considerably tougher.
Ferrer will have his hands full with Monfils. The Frenchman is a truly gifted athlete whose penchant for clowning about is, for now at least, waging a war with his obvious desire to get his injury-affected ranking back up from a lowly 99.
Both Querrey and Kohlschreiber advanced to their semifinals in straight sets.
Querrey beat Canadian qualifier Jesse Levine 6-4, 7-6, while Kohlschreiber accounted for Belgian journeyman Xavier Malisse 7-6 6-4.

Tim Geitner should not be approved anyone that doesn't pay their taxes and lie that Turbo Tax didn't warn him when the makers of Turbo Tax say those warnings are built into the system. As head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Fed's man on Wall Street, Mr. Geithner was a key architect of the $30 billion bailout to prevent the bankruptcy of Bear Stearns Cos., leading to charges the government was stoking moral hazard. He shaped the Fed's lifeline to investment banks that followed, and was among the officials involved in assessing the implications of the troubles around Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers Holdings, American International Group and numerous other firms (from Wachovia to Citigroup) that have come under market pressure.
