GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Love this school. The students are amazing and work so hard. We are blessed to have a spectacular faculty that works to reach the needs of every child. Couldn't ask for a better place to work or a more driven and encouraging faculty to work with.
I have had one child go through CMSN and am now starting on my second. We have had a great experience with the teachers and staff. Wonderful education. As always, and this seems to be the theme no matter what school, my only complain is that school personal seems to forget or just assume that all parents have jobs where they can drop everything and make PTO meetings during the day or teachers meetings. I can not be involved during the day and there is never PTO meetings in the evening. After 7 years with my oldest and 5 with my youngest, I'm getting use to it but it is with all the schools not just this one.
Excellent teachers and awesome special needs help. We have some of the highest achieving ADHD students in the state. The staff truly care about our students and keep us informed. The counselors make time and really listen to the children.
CMSN is wonderful! The teachers provide a fun way of learning and I am very impressed with how nice they are. The building is very nice. The highlight of the year is SPACE CAMP in Alabama in 5th grade!
CMSN is a fantastic school! Their principal is outstanding and their faculty is cream of the crop! We have had two great years there, if are lucky enough to get this school you won't be sorry!
cmsn could not be anything better . Ya so what cmss has better kids on track day but in everything else theres no dout that they could beat us .Me I just love cabot middle school north.
The quality of leadership, direct instruction provided by the teaching staff, and the extracurricular activities provided for the students is extraordinary! I would recommend Cabot Middle School North for any child, as well as Cabot Public Schools. Regardless of the needs of the student, the CMSN staff will work with you and your child to be successful. I moved to this area for the schools and would do so again. Hats off to The CPS District.
This is our first year at CMSN, and I was very impressed with Cabot's approach to educating our children. They teach morals, manners, and respect! That is almost unheard of in our society. Kids need to be taught these things. The schools are SO clean. That was a change for us. So far things are great. My girls love the Cabot Middle School North.
I am very impressed with the Cabot public school district, especially middle north campus. From the teachers to the principle, these people really care about our children and their futures. The way their classes are set up will help our children with the transition to jr and high school. Overall, there is no where else in Arkansas I would want my children to attend.
Wonderful school! Cabot schools are one of the best! My child loves this school.
the teachers do not give enough one on one help to the students.
This is a wonderful School, the safety and involvement of the teachers are wonderful at this school. They make learning fun here. My son loves this school.

The hottest women in uniform
This morning President Obama signed the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, ending the more than 230-year ban on gay and lesbian soldiers serving in the United States military. The historic event was witnessed by lawmakers who fought to get the policy repealed and gay former service members who fought for their country.
Obama welcomed new gay recruits and former military members to enlist or reenlist, saying:
Your country needs you, your country wants you and we will be honored to welcome you into the ranks of the finest military the world has ever known … We are not a nation that say don't ask don't tell … We are a nation that welcomes the service of every patriot. We are a nation that believes that all men and women are created equal. Those are the ideals that generations have fought for, those are the ideals that we uphold today and now it is my honor to sign this bill into law.
The signing of the bill into law didn't automatically end the policy today. That will happen 60 days after President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen certify readiness. But that process is expected to move ahead quickly.
So it'll still be a little bit until we see a flood of brave, out LGBT men and women enlist. Until then let's celebrate this magnificent milestone in equality the best way possible: By ogling some of the hottest actresses to have played U.S. military service members. Here are ten of the best to have worn the uniform on the big and small screen.
Glenn Close, Serving in Silence
Glenn shone in the real-life story of National Guard Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer, who was discharged for being a lesbian in the days before the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.
Jordana Brewster, Annapolis
I can't decide if I like Jordana better in her dress whites of service khakis in her role as a
instructor class leader in the U.S. Naval Academy. Let's go with both.
Dana Delany, China Beach
When I get sick I don't dream about Florence Nightingale syndrome, if dream about Lt. Col. Colleen McMurphy symdrome.
Goldie Hawn, Private Benjamin
If looking adorable in fatigues was a contest, Goldie would win.
Loretta Swit, M*A*S*H
Hot Lips: great nickname or greatest nickname?
Catherine Bell, JAG
The few, the proud, the really hot Marines.
Kelly McGillis, The L Word
A real lesbian playing a closeted lesbian who goes after out lesbians who serve in the military. Whew, glad that kind of brain-twister of a role will now be a thing of the past.
Meg Ryan, Courage Under Fire
Sure she was America's sweetheart, but she could also fly a helicopter. Take that, Tom Cruise.
Rose Rollins, The L Word
I think today's news means Tasha can officially reenlist.
Demi Moore, G.I. Jane
I think they should make the recruitment poster for lesbians just big pictures of Demi's shaved head and one-armed push-ups.
Who is your favorite woman in U.S. military uniform?

DoD seeks health care savings, reorganization of Military Health System
Friday - 3/23/2012, 5:52pm EDT
The Defense Department has identified four ways it wants to cut healthcare costs and increase the quality of its care.
Assistant Secretary of Defense for health affairs Dr. Jonathon Woodson told the House Armed Services Committee it wants to reorganize the Military Health System. DoD also wants to update the pay rates for private insurers, launch prevention programs and change its cost-sharing system with TRICARE.
The four proposals, according to a Defense.gov posting, are:
- Internal efficiencies to better organize the Military Health System's decision-making and execution functions;
- Continuation of efforts to pay private-sector health care providers appropriately;
- Reducing illness, injury and hospitalization by emphasizing initiatives that promote health; and
- Changing beneficiary cost-sharing in the TRICARE military health system.

Interviewing: Selling Yourself Effectively to Potential Employers will give job seekers the tools they need to ace the interview at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, August 25, in the McLane Meeting Room in the lower level of the Fond du Lac Public Library. The Job Smart U class is free.
James Patterson has numerous fans out there, and I count myself as one of them. I just finished reading Now You See Her, one of his latest thrillers, written in collaboration with author Michael Ledwidge. What a perfect summer read. I read it in one day! Imagine being a young and carefree 18 year old. You are having the time of your life on spring break in Key West with your best friends, and then in an instant your entire life changes forever. That is exactly what happened to poor Jeanine.
The Fond du Lac Public Library asked, and it has received. After announcing that it needed to raise $40,000 from the community to open an historic branch location, the library has surpassed its goal in just eight weeks.
"This is just phenomenal," said library Director Ken Hall. "We now have the funds to open and furnish what will be a real asset to our community. We're bowled over and very grateful."
The Fond du Lac Public Library satellite location at the Rosendale Community Center will close; its last day of operation will be Friday, August 19.
The satellite – a parked bookmobile – had been operating at that location since February 2010. Previously, Rosendale was visited by the traveling bookmobile.
The family that plays together comes to the Fond du Lac Public Library.
The Children's Room and local business Fay's Fun 'n Learning are hosting Family Game Day from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, August 13, at the library. All ages are welcome for this free event, which will feature games such as The Camp Game, Blunders, Bingo Link and Spot It. No registration needed; just stop in.
Games will be provided, but families are welcome to bring favorite games they'd like to share with others.

I just had an inner ear infection which causes a spinning sensation, dizziness, loss of balance and nausea. I also found it hard to focus and concentrate and therefore hard to read. This episode made me appreciate being able to read. Reading is important to understanding your health and doing the right thing to get better. But even more, I missed reading fiction. Fiction is a part of my life and has been a part of every human's life. Think of all of those children's bedtime stories, ancient sagas and myth, campfire stories, novels, and adventure tales.

text: The Mail October 1, 2012 Issue Drug Trials A letter in response to Oliver Sacks's article (August 27, 2012) Table of Contents Sacks's article illustrates how the climate regarding the use of chemical aids to attain "intimations of immortality" has changed since the nineteen-fifties and sixties. Today, many people believe that day-to-day living is insufficient for human beings, that "we need to transcend, transport, escape"; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation, and we are ready to take risks in the search for larger views of ourselves and our world. When I published "The Psychedelic Teacher," in 1972, I felt pretty much alone in making that case. I was particularly touched by Sacks's search for "indigo." It reminded me of Heinrich Klüver's "Mescal and Mechanisms of Hallucinations," which was published in 1966. Surely, the recipes for indigo are there. Ignacio L.

Keep Your Secrets Secret
Employees can spread your secrets in any number of ways. Here are your best shots at stopping them
9.Consistently and aggressively go after employees who violate non-compete agreements in jurisdictions where they are enforceable. Encourage your organization's legal team to learn about the civil remedies associated with the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). While this is a criminal statute, it has been effectively applied to theft of trade secrets cases. It has a very low threshold of $5,000 which may be easily reached during an investigation into the loss of trade secrets. See Nick Ackerman's excellent article, "Trade Secrets: CFAA's $5,000 Threshold†(www.dorsey.com/news/).
Strong Policy Is the Foundation All the measures outlined above should be added to standard IT security policies and procedures such as
• an acceptable use policy for corporate computer systems. Have employees sign it and put it in their personnel folder.
• secure passwords that are changed periodically. • anti-virus programs that are kept up to date.
• forensically wiping the hard drives of discarded computers.
• updating all operating systems and applications.
• intrusion prevention/intrusion detection systems. Ensure they are monitored frequently by a qualified individual.
• periodic assessments of your network security. These should include a combination of third-party vulnerability assessments and the judicious use of tools such as the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer and the benchmark and scoring tools available from the Center for Internet Security (www.cisecurity.com).
Listing these fundamental IT security principles seems a little silly, but I have been involved in the IT security industry for 10 years, and I still see organizations that overlook one or more of these steps. By combining a sound IT security program with the internal controls mentioned in this article, organizations can maintain control over their proprietary information and trade secrets.

New Measurements
Unless you're like Joey Chestnut who tied the world record for eating 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes yesterday, you probably struggle with overeating when faced with your favorite dinner or desert. Here are some ways to prevent overeating at your next meal:
Start with some soup
Next time you go out to a restaurant, start your meal with some soup. Studies show that people eat 20% less calories when the meal starts with a bowl of soup.
Use smaller dishes
By using smaller salad dishes instead of full-sized plates, or smaller spoons (to go with your soup that you started the meal with), it has been proven that people eat less. To give you a heads start, use antique plates or china as they tend to be smaller in size.
Don't use clear containers
Studies have also shown that if you can "see" the food stored away, people are likely to consume more. Candies in opaque containers are easier to resist than in clear containers.

McDonnell announces $52 million for transportation projects
Virginia can thank other states for a $52 million bonus in federal funding for commonwealth transportation projects.
In a statement released Thursday, the governor's office announced the additional funding, which it says was initially allocated to other states. According to the release, other states did not have projects ready to use the funding, prompting the Federal Highway Administration to shift the funds to Virginia, which has plans and projects in place.
VDOT projects expecting to receive funding include repaving and rehabilitation on segments of Interstates 95 and 85 around Richmond, and parts of Interstate 264 in Hampton Roads, according to the release.
The final say on funding allocation rests with the Commonwealth Transportation Board, which will hear VDOT's recommendations this month.
"Virginia employs sound financial management practices and improved project programming to use every available transportation dollar," McDonnell stated in the release. "This award of 'bonus obligation' funds is validation of VDOT's efforts to ensure transportation projects are programmed and delivered, with more projects ready for construction."
