Sen. Jeff Bingaman's announcement today that he will retire at the end of this Congress is the third such announcement for Democrats in nine days, bringing the total number of Democratic open seats to four. This open seat in New Mexico also holds some significance for the overall Senate picture. It moves to the toss-up column, which now has six Democratic-held seats compared with two for Republicans.
That Democrats have 23 seats up in 2012, compared with 10 for Republicans, means that a Republican Senate majority in the next Congress is almost inevitable. The large disparity in the number of races in the toss-up column simply increases Republicans' odds of winning a majority in 2012. In fact, it's worth asking whether these four open Democratic seats amount to something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, because three of the four are in the toss-up column today.
Until the 2010 midterm elections, Democrats had had a fairly good run in New Mexico. Then-Vice President Al Gore carried the state by just over 300 votes in the 2000 presidential contest. Although President George W. Bush won here in 2004, it was by a single percentage point and by less than 6,000 votes. President Obama avoided a nail-biter of a race in 2008, soundly defeating GOP presidential nominee John McCain, 57 percent to 42 percent.
Democrats also held the governorship for eight years, and they now have both U.S. Senate seats, although they didn't win the second until 2008. Also that year, the party won all three seats in the congressional delegation. Democrats held majorities in both chambers of the state Legislature with margins of 45 seats to 25 seats for Republicans in the House and 27 seats to 15 seats in the Senate.
Republicans, though, made real gains in 2010. Then-Dona Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez won the governorship, defeating then-Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, 53 percent to 47 percent, to become the nation's first Hispanic female governor.
Republicans picked up one of the two House seats they lost in 2008, and they made gains in the state House (the Senate was not on the ballot), although they remain in the minority. Democrats now hold 37 seats to 33 for Republicans. In short, New Mexico is a more competitive state than many people believe, and Bingaman's retirement is welcome news to Republicans.
Republicans were hoping to give Bingaman a race this cycle, particularly since he has gotten just nominal challenges in recent years. He won reelection in 2006 with 71 percent of the vote. Former Rep. Heather Wilson is high on the GOP's recruiting list.
First elected in 1998, Wilson represented the Albuquerque-based 1st Congressional District, which has a PVI score of D+5, meaning that it votes 5 points more Democratic than the nation as a whole. As such, Wilson was a perennial target for Democrats and never had an easy race. She gave up her seat in 2008 to run for the Senate, but lost that primary by 2,914 votes to her colleague Steve Pearce.
Wilson, who just completed running Martinez's transition, had a reputation in Congress for protecting the interests of her district and for solid constituent service, and she was a strong fundraiser. But she also had one of the more moderate records in the House Republican Caucus, sitting squarely on the chamber's ideological 50-yard line. Thus, her loss in the Senate primary illustrates the one disadvantage she does have: She may be too moderate to win a Republican primary, particularly in the tea party era. That said, Wilson would be a very strong general-election candidate in that she appeals to moderates and independents and hails from the biggest media market in the state, so she has name identification as well.
Another potential candidate is Pearce. He lost the open-seat Senate contest in 2008, a terrible year for his party, to then-Rep. Tom Udall, 39 percent to 61 percent. He had been elected to the 2nd Congressional District, which encompasses Roswell and Las Cruces, in 2002. He made a comeback in 2010, winning his old seat with 55 percent. Pearce has obviously long aspired to be in the U.S. Senate, so it wouldn't surprise anyone to see him run again, despite having been elected to the House less than four months ago. His greatest advantage in a primary may be that he hails from the most Republican district in the state with a PVI of R+6.
Former Gov. Gary Johnson has also been mentioned. Johnson is exploring a presidential bid, and his interest in the Senate isn't known. Businessman and political neophyte Bill English has announced his intention to run.
The only public poll we've seen is a Public Policy Polling (IVR) survey (February 2-4 of 357 regular GOP primary voters). It had Wilson leading the field with 35 percent to 27 percent for Johnson, 17 percent for Pearce, 6 percent for 2010 Attorney General nominee Matt Chandler, and 4 percent for Lt. Gov. John Sanchez. Wilson's favorable/unfavorable ratings were 71 percent to 18 percent, while Pearce's were 69 percent to 16 percent.

I have an AC which has 3 ducts coming out of it. Only one duct gets flow - I'm guessing the AC fan blows right into it. What can I do to improve the flow?

You need to restrict the flow through that duct, either by installing a damper like this in the duct, or by installing an adjustable register at the duct outlet, and closing it off until you get similar flow out of all three ducts.

with Venerable Dr. Pannavati
Public Dharma Talk
10 - 11 am
In the Buddha Hall at 300 Page Street
1 - 4:30 pm
In the Conference Center at 308 Page Street
Relationships form based on many factors. Underlying our rational assumptions of who is "friend" or "enemy" or what types of people we "like" or "dislike" are subtle factors, karmic influences, and unrecognized perceptions based on the six senses. Using stories from the sutras and our personal experiences, we will dissect the phenomenon of "encounter." Tools will be discussed to assess and build relationships that nurture our spiritual aspiration and deepest stillness, yet without considering anyone unworthy of our full attention.
This half-day workshop will alternate between discussion and reflection, building upon the morning dharma talk (although the workshop can stand alone). Everyone is welcome to join us for the Dharma talk in the morning and also to register for the practice afternoon with Ven. Dr. Pannavati Bhikkuni.
Fees: $50; $45 current SFZC members; $40 limited income. Some scholarships are available; see About Registration, Scholarships, and Cancellations. No one turned away for lack of funds.

Gordon to miss 2010-11 basketball season
Wednesday, August 04, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 4, 2010) - The official start of the basketball season doesn't begin until mid-October; however, the Lady Bucs received discouraging news Wednesday afternoon as senior point guard Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) learned she will miss the entire 2010-11 season after having surgery to repair her right knee.
Gordon, who transferred to ETSU a year ago and erupted for a career-high 30 points on 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc in the 2010 NCAA Tournament game at Xavier, injured her knee in late July while playing for the Jamaican National Team.
The Wichita, Kan. native saw action in all 32 games (21 starts) last season for the Lady Bucs, and averaged 11.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 24.3 minutes per game. Gordon was also named to the Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team after recording 14.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game for ETSU in wins over Stetson, Belmont and North Florida.
Gordon and head coach Karen Kemp have decided to use the 2010-11 season as a red-shirt year, and bring the talented point guard back in 2011-12.
"Tarita and I talked about using this upcoming season as a red-shirt season. We both thought it was the best decision to take the entire year off and make sure the knee heals 100 percent," said Kemp. "We were expecting big things from Tarita this upcoming season, so this definitely is a big loss for us. However, we did recruit some talented guards and they will be expected to step up and contribute right away."
The Lady Bucs begin the 2010-11 season with an exhibition game against Emory & Henry on Monday, Nov. 1 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

Go For Launch
When it comes to building a brand through digital marketing, launching websites is one of the most effective methods for promoting products or services to segmented audience groups. According to research by Dynamic Logic, 7.8 percent of visitors to a microsite are likely to be impacted by the brand messaging versus just 2.3 percent of prospects exposed to display ads.1 For marketers, investing in the deployment of frequent website campaigns can serve to drive substantial brand awareness, while enabling companies to collect detailed analytical data about their visitors.
For many enterprise organizations, it may be necessary to launch one or two new sites each week to keep up with the demands of the digital marketing department. However, many organizations lack the resources and management capacities to perform at this scale. This white paper will explore the need for streamlining website development to enhance enterprises' branding and content marketing strategies.

Live conversation with Nina Tandon: How can we use TED Conversations in the classroom?
As we've launched the TEDinClass project, many in the TED community have asked: how can we use platforms like TED Conversations in the classroom?
Closing Statement from Nina Tandon
Thanks so much to everyone for all of your thoughtful, encouraging comments, interesting suggestions, and insightful questions! Please stay tuned to hear as this project develops.
Apr 5 2012: Nina, I work for a global organisation and am part of a team bringing the first TEDx to our people. My question is: what value have you seen in TEDinClass that you think would translate well in to the Learning and Development departments in the corporate world- particularly in global organisations? I'd really welcome your thoughts on this, since having read the blog link above I think what you're doing has great potential in the business world too!
Nina Tandon
Apr 5 2012: wow Matt, this is a great idea -- using TED in the corporate learning context -- did you see Agatha Luy's comment above? She shared a story about using TED talks at the office and it seemed a really positive experience!
- +2
One thought I think might translate for both international and corporate contexts is that TED Conversations can be a great way for people to share thoughts that are relevant to their respective contexts, but in a manner that is just enough outside the "normal" context to lower the barriers to sharing ideas that might not otherwise be shared...almost analogous to an intellectual "field trip" ...
Apr 5 2012: Thanks Nina. I'll share the blog entry and this conversation with our L&D team. It's certainly something I think we need to start thinking about!
agatha luy
Apr 5 2012: Recently, different members from various departments of our company received training in working with one to many. We practiced our presentation skills and talked about how we use power in presenting including credibility, knowledge, and emotion. We viewed three different Ted Talks and discussed them. I found this FASCINATING to hear opinions and discuss these amazing topics presented by amazing individuals.
- +3
Although this was for my work, if I were an educator in a classroom I imagine this could be a great way to facilitate discussion and debate among students.
Apr 5 2012: hi Agatha, thanks for sharing this with us! In my class, we've also experimented with both showing TED videos in the classroom, as well as assigning them as homework.
One thing that I've noticed is that we've gotten much faster to that cohesive classroom attitude that (if you're lucky) happens at some point (usually late in the semester). Students seem to be sparking more and more fascinating discussions and debates much faster this year than in past years by using TED in the classroom.
I've also noticed that in addition to students getting to know each other faster by utilizing TED conversations in the classroom, that I've also gotten to know them faster than in past years as well -- there's something about seeing their photos, profiles, and postings that helped me see that WOW I have a ukelele player in my class? and a basketball player? etc...
Would love to hear more about how using TED talks at your office might also facilitate this type of cohesiveness!Apr 5 2012: Agatha, could I ask which 3 talks you used? We're thinking about how to encourage the use of TEDx talks in my organisation, so I'd be interested to hear more about your story.Apr 5 2012: I've been using TED Conversations as journal prompts in my class for the past year. My students can use their journals to come up with topics for writing or as pre-writing. It's proven effective. I'm now teaching developmental reading, and I often select ted Conversations to feature authors. Again, this has proven popular.
Apr 5 2012: wow Melinda, these are all great ideas! Thanks for sharing :)
Ankit shah
Apr 5 2012: I have noticed a disconnect between classroom and real world innovations and revolutionary ideas. A project like this can help mitigate this problem...
- +1
Apple Lynch
Apr 5 2012: If you are talking about college classroom, it's relatively easy. It depends on the subject and participants in large. I would imagine like outsiders of science communities, once on one of TEDTalks showed, who have passion on the subject and are qualified to enrich and inspire the classroom, and help students get better understanding the subject by their own research and experience, that would be wonderful surprise. Find the qualified participants such as scholars, experts of the field who want to volunteer their time and discoveries, research and innovative thoughts and visions is the first step, I think. However, it seems high school's and elementary's are the ones that need the TEDConversations the most in terms of public resource, I would say.
- +1
Sarah Meyer
Apr 5 2012: So your students asked questions of the TED community as they studied? Did any of their conversations get particularly good responses? Did you or your students learn anything from any of the comments?
- +1
Apr 5 2012: Sarah this is a great question -- and we've been just blown away from the response -- our TEDinClass Conversations, for example, have been trending in the top five for 9 weeks straight, and each conversation is being viewed in up to 60 countries. And each conversation is reaching about half a million Facebook users via shares. The students are also learning a ton content-wise through responding to comments and then there's the more-difficult-to-measure but equally important lessons in poise and maturity that comes from leading. It's been amazing.
Aja B.
Apr 5 2012: Hi Nina! Your class consistently posted some of the most fascinating topics here over the last semester. Do you have any tips or advice to offer to the rest of us for coming up with great questions and ideas to post on TED? Are there some approaches that work better than others? Thanks!
- +1
Apr 5 2012: Wow, Aja thanks so much!
I'm not sure what the "magic formula" has been for us, but I think that the students have been doing a great job with hooking people into the conversations with thoughtful, pithy questions. And because we are basing their questions on classroom material, each week, the students really get into the extrapolations of class ideas into this "broader realm" as we brainstorm possible questions.
Once the conversations are launched, they each jump in and help each other respond to comments, in turn encouraging more responses, and so on — it's a bit of a virtuous cycle, fueled by the students' collective enthusiasm and commitment, and of course supported by the amazing members of the TED community at-large :)Apr 5 2012: Do you have any suggestions for faculty who might run a program like this with TED in the future?
Apr 5 2012: hi Sam,
This is a great question -- I've been asked this question by others as well as they are trying this experiment in their classrooms.
One piece of advice is to invest in the time it takes to come up with a pithy question relevant to the broader community, and also relevant to the classroom. For us, this is quite collaborative, and as the semester's progressed, the students are running away with it!
Sam, are you faculty yourself considering a "TEDinClass" type of project? If so, I'd love to hear more about it!Apr 5 2012: Hi,
Do you conduct some kind of student evaluation for this project?
Thank you,
TamarApr 5 2012: Hello Nina,
Are Ted Conversations using synchronous video webchat? For Example, Google Plus Hangouts? I am ready to beta test when you are:)
Apr 5 2012: not yet, but this sounds like a fun idea!
Apr 5 2012: Care to try a Google Plus Live Hangout, right now? https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/2e7bef572d372240c270c8df23ecec28c4acecb0?authuser=0&hl=en#Apr 5 2012: Hi,
I work in a school for children who have been bullied at their main stream schools and need time away to recover their confidence. They are vulnerable to criticism and have low self esteem. However, the TED platform could be very positive for them to gain global perspectives. to their questions - most TEDsters are great!
How can TED be used to help these kids ask questions relevant to them in safety? I'm concerned about aggressive or offensive responses. Could TED's flag button hide the response before its moderated? Could a TED EDUCATION platform be created specifically for young people, that can be moderated by users?
Apr 5 2012: hi Heather, this is a great point, and we'd actually all committed (on our side and on the TED side) at the beginning to being quite vigilant about looking for agressive or offensive responses.
What I WILL say, however, is that in the countless comments we've had this semester, we've had maybe one offensive comment in total. Maybe. I've just been blown away from the commitment of the TED community to keeping the bar high intellectually, while at the same time providing an open forum for sharing ideas.
Apr 5 2012: Well that's very encouraging.
Where is the TED site moderated from? USA or at various locations across different time zones globally?
Apr 5 2012: Heather, we have two Admins working 13 hours apart, and a team of volunteer moderators spanning the globe. We're well covered! :)
AjaApr 5 2012: Dear Nina,
Will referring to TED talk's be allowed/helpfull or is this a TED conversation only project.
With best regards.
Apr 5 2012: hi Marcel,
That's a great question -- the TEDinClass project we're referring to here is mostly about using the TED Conversations platform, but we've also used TED Talks all semester as well as homework and in-class media to spark discussions. And of course, the TED Conversations themselves always link back to "related talks."
So in a way, it's kind of an interconnected package!Apr 5 2012: And another comment - I'm from Israel - Have you conducted this project outside the U.S?
Thank you,
Tamar Tarablus
Apr 5 2012: hi Tamar (or shall I say "Shalom?") I'm based in the US but open this up to the floor: anyone else doing this internationally?
Apr 5 2012: Shalom, If this project will cross the borders between states it will be overwhelming.Apr 5 2012: How did hosting the conversations change the classroom dynamic? Were the in-class discussions very different from previous classes?
Apr 5 2012: hi Ben,
This is a great question, addressing an observation we actually didn't expect to see going in: the students indeed seem to be even more familiar with each other, and much sooner, than in past years, despite the fact that we've got a larger group this year! The conversations that continue on after class, between sessions, seem to keep the students engaged with one another, and also give them more material that create the "inside jokes" and other shared experiences that forge relationships. With online communities, we generally don't have the feedback that comes from real, live, *physical* presence -- but with this project -- we have both the online and rel-life interactions.
I'd be interested in hearing experiences from others that might solely be online, in say, an online course?Apr 5 2012: Dear Nina Tandon, I'm a high school teacher. Please tell me what kind of technology is necessary to participate in the project and what kind of lessons are taught with this platform?
Thank you very much,
Tamar Tarablus
Apr 5 2012: hi Tamar that's a great question!
For our class we need all students to have TED.com accounts, but not every student necessarily has his/her own computer.
We've learned so much in this project, but one of my favorite lessons has come from my own teaching and now from watching the students as the semester's progressed:
As the Latin proverb goes: "By learning you will teach; by teaching you will understand."Apr 5 2012: My big question: What did you worry about most when starting this experiment, and how did you control for it?
Nina Tandon
Apr 5 2012: Emily that's a great question -- when we first started I was worried most about coming up with topics with the right balance between being general enough to relate to the TED community and yet specific enough to relate to class material. I decided to just be upfront about this with my students and to ask them each week to check in and let us know their thoughts...I've noticed that as weeks go by that the students are having more and more fun with coming up with these types of questions.
- +1
One common way we traverse between the "super specific" and the "general" is via analogy -- one student last week, for example, hosted a conversation loosely based on an analogy to muscle fibers -- he'd noted that we have different types of muscle fibers with different "specialties": fast twitch and slow twitch -- he drew an analogy to collaboration between specialists and asked: "Does society need more interdisciplinary work? Or more well-rounded individuals working together?" I could never have predicted conversations like this to come out of my class, but am so heartened to see it happen!

This whole project only took about 1 1/2 days to complete. The first day to install the wiring and flexible LED lights, and the second to connect the controllers and go over the strips with clear silicon for extra protection. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Enjoy :-)
Step 1: Draw Schematics
Draw a rough sketch of your deck including measurements. Decide where you want to put the lighting, making particular note of:
~electrical source (where you can get the power from)- this doesn't have to be outside- you can have the LED controllers/power supply in an attic or basement out of the weather and hidden and just run the low voltage wires out to the strips.
~Where you can run the low voltage wire so that it is not noticeable (for example under an overhang/lip of the deck).
~Where and how you want to control the lights from (wall switch, remote, DMX, or timer).
~ How bright you think you want the strips (this can help size the wire, controllers and power supplies).
After making the rough sketch, you must:
1. Decide how many feet of flexible LED strip you need. Also, decide which sections you want connected together and which ones you want to be able to control separately (for color or brightness).
2. The best way to run the wiring. In most cases you should plan on running a maximum of 2 rolls end-to-end per 22-4 supply wire- if you stick to this recommendation, you will be able to have long runs (up to 50') of the wire without having to worry about voltage drop.
Some final things to consider:
~ The more home runs (low voltage wire from the strips back to the controller), the better- as this will provide less voltage drop (power loss) and more options as far as control (if you ever want to add or change anything).
~ If you have a large area you can have several home run locations and either run a larger wire back to the controller or put an amplifier and power supply there to boost the power and signal.
~ If you are looking to run the strips at reduced brightness (dim level- an example would be for under stair treads or outlining your house, you can run several (4-6) rolls together on one controller and power supply. However, you must then keep the lights at this dim level (for example 35% of brightness) or your power supply will be overloaded and could blink or stop working.
~ Group the wires from each independent section together (each section which you would like to have individual control of), so that they can be connected to separate controllers/amps.
~ For large installations, make note of how many feet of flex strip are on each wire so you can correctly size the amplifier needed.
Love it! Helps with letting people know where the stairs are....cool mood setter.
Can anyone suggest a power adapter that i could use in the deck outlet directly? one that would be waterproof? I need to power about 70in of lights - 60 led/meter
You should absolutely leverage your landscape lights if you have them. Its way easier and cheaper than to use the standard 120V transformer. Your landscape transformer outputs 12V AC. You need 12V DC for the LED. I recommend you get one of these to get the conversion done. It is a very small device so makes it easier to hide. You can get it from Amazon. "72W Outdoor Waterproof Low Voltage Landscape LED Power Supply Converter/Rectifier, Input 12V AC to Output 12V DC"
And as an aside for others reading these comments --- this is how a commercial member of I'bles can contribute! They've got links to their own products for sourcing the raw materials, but nowhere did they stick in a shill, like, "We can do this for you for the incredibly low price of ...." Most excellent.
thumbs up!
i would like to have longer runs able to be set to one color and the stairs set to another. Could you please point me into the right direction for all the components i will be needing.
they are wide angle 120 deg leds so they do make a nice even glow over the whole deck:-)
I'm new to this, but when I first saw a led light show that goes with the music on one e-mail, I started dreaming about it, does the LEd strips already has different colors on it? where can I purchase it? thanks...
I would like to do a deck lighting, but only with white light.
Can you give me some tips on the kind of material I should use? (I'm new on this kind of things)
Thank you
I have a couple of points about the sentence:
"...even being covered in snow in northern climates where under the railings are raillery going to get wet"
- I think by "raillery" you mean "rarely"?
- You can always tell a northern-hemisphere author, when they think that it snows more in the north than in the south. Depends how far south you go, dude!
What would you suggest if integrating this during the decks construction to make it easier? maybe using a router to rebate all the lights? or put them un der the deck somewhere as well?
Also how much did this cost you?
Thanks again!
LEDs are cold -_-
Totally understand, though.

The social network's head of public policy in Europe says changes to how regulations are handled there could prompt Facebook to stop bringing new features to its service.
The European Union contends that the studios and British pay-TV provider Sky UK are violating antitrust regulations by restricting the broadcasting of studio films to only the UK and Ireland.
The investigations will determine whether Qualcomm was in violation of antitrust regulations in the European Union, and could mean significant fines for the company, if it's found guilty.
Europe's regulators want to know whether Amazon's deals with book publishers require them to inform the e-retail giant of more favorable terms from rivals.
Google's Matt Brittin, who oversees the company's European operations, says that his company suffered from not having enough "people on the ground" to handle EU concerns.
Competition Chief Margrethe Vestager says she doesn't want to rush a decision in investigations to determine whether Apple and other companies violated European Union tax rules.
Is Google abusing its position as the world's most popular search engine? Also, if you're hoping to walk into an Apple store and buy a Watch next week, we have some bad news. All that and more in your look back at the week in tech.
The search giant's mobile operating system is in the crosshairs of regulators in Europe. But there are differences between this probe and the last high-profile technology antitrust case, when Europe took on Microsoft.
The search giant could face fines of more than $6 billion but would have 10 weeks to respond to the claims.
An ongoing investigation into Google's search practices could lead to the company getting nailed with billions of dollars in fines.

The two crew chiefs that are banned, the 50k fines.
Seems they used magnets to alter the dyno readings by 8hp.
Nascar rulings let Toyota get into the game with the camry. Sounds like the Ford engine may have problems making the same hp. Expect the Toyota v8 is a new design. The Ford is an older design. Thought there was something about the valve train in the Toyota uses straiter shorter pushrods. Lending itself to a stronger valve train. Would be expensive to replace the Ford engine line completely. So, the parity rulings began.
The grumbling and fines are due to the altered dyno readings.
Thats how I interprited what I read at any rate.
Anyone hear anything else?
After the race but before the dyno test, at the track, the yotas wanted to make sure that no one knew they had more HP than anyone else so they placed magnets under the gas pedals so nascar would not be able to push the gas pedal all the way down. Nice try.Kirk Kopitzke

I saw an interview with Tony Stewart and he said it was a pretty dumb thing for them to try and do because Brian Vickers car was being tested also and that they would have found out the true numbers anyways because the Red Bull team has Gibbs motors in their cars.If necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

I don't really follow nascar, so maybe this is a dumb question, but, Don't you want to make more HP? If I design a better engine within the rules and it makes more HP, shouldn't I be allowed to run with that advantage.Millermatic 180 Auto Set

Nascar is a joke

My Brain
Lots of different series have more open rules packages and it seems the teams with the biggest pocketbooks win. While this also can be the case in NASCAR at least they try and keep the playing field level.
That's what I like about the new car design, it takes a lot of the aerodynamics game out of things... until someone figures out a way around it and then you guessed it they come up with yet another rule!
As for the top 35 qualifying rule I think that was more of an insurance policy for the big dollar sponsors, not so much for the big name drivers, although they have all the big sponsors anyway so it doesn't seem to matter.
I guess if you consider NASCAR a joke then at least admit it's the largest viewed automotive racing joke going these days ... oh yeah and then change channels and find something more serious on!at home:

What is Evolution?
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.

Discussions on expanding Advanced Academic Programs to include more elementary and middle schools is taking on the tone of a boundary debate.
Fairfax County school administrators propose increasing the number of Advanced Academic Programs to include 14 additional middle schools and six additional elementary schools. If implemented, all middle schools would have AAP Centers and programs would be available at the elementary school level in all of the school system�s eight pyramids. Currently the AAP Level IV Centers are not available in six pyramids — Falls Church, Marshall, Annandale, Edison, South County high schools and Robinson Secondary School.
Advanced Academic Programs are offered to advanced learners with the goal of challenging those students who learn at a faster rate, think of a higher level and/or study sophisticated and complete content, according to FCPS. These students are identified through an examination process. While some of the programs are pull-out or small-group interaction within the classroom, the Level IV program is a full-time program for students grades three through eight.
The School Board is scheduled to discuss the expansion proposal during its Dec. 10 work session at the Gatehouse Administration Center. A vote could come as early as January, with changes taking effect next fall.
Grandfathering would allow children in fourth through sixth grades to stay in their current schools, but third graders would be impacted. At the middle school level, the shift would impact rising seventh graders. Eighth grade school assignments would not be affected.
Parents of students currently in programs voiced concerns during a series of outreach meetings held last week. Topping their list of issues was the expedited speed of the proposed shift.
�I do not think that a School Board decision in December-January provides adequate time to plan and implement this middle school proposal across the county,� said parent Rachel Rothstein, the mother of a fourth grader at Great Falls Elementary and an eighth grader at Kilmer Middle School. While neither of her children will be affected by the shift directly, Rothstein said she is concerned that changes to the program could diffuse quality of programming offered. The school system proposal includes plans to train additional teachers on AAP curriculum for the expansion.
�I am very concerned that this proposal�will negatively impact the rigor of Level IV AAP programs,� wrote parent Nancy Deng in a letter to her School Board representative Jane Strauss (Dranesville District). Deng, the mother of seventh-grade twins said the outreach meetings did not offer parents enough information on how changes would be implemented logistically. Several parents complained that the meetings lacked detail beyond a PowerPoint presentation outlining the plan. They said they wanted to know how the shift would impact each school and specifically their children.
�Without clarification of those important issues and without clear commitment of financial and human resources to support the Level IV AAP program at each middle school, it is very troublesome for parents to anticipate the consequence of this reconstructing at such as massive level,� Deng wrote.
Expansions to the AAP centers were proposed by a staff task force that convened last spring. The school system argues that the increase in services will provide equity of access to currently underserved children, while simultaneously reducing crowding in schools that enrolled AAP students, who would normally attend their neighborhood school. Staff said even with the cost of training and/or hiring new teachers for the expansion, the school system will save money when they are not transporting students to locations outside of their base school attendance areas.
�The plan to expand the AAP Centers is evolving based on the input we have received from parents and citizens at the community meetings,� FCPS spokeswoman Mary Shaw said, adding that a revised recommendation reflecting parents concerns would be posted to the school system�s website Thursday, after the newspaper�s deadline.
�The reason why this is moving along with a sense of urgency is because of the severe overcrowding currently at Louise Archer, Haycock and Hunters Woods Elementary Schools,� Shaw said.
In the weeks to come, before the student holiday recess, parents say they are looking for more detail, which will allow the School Board to make informed decisions.
�While we have very few concrete facts, the few we have are disturbing,� parent Angela Smith said. �While the current middle school centers offer a large group of kids the opportunity to be together with their peers both academically and socially—this new approach would see middle schools with as few as 11 kids per grade in AAP. How can you run a meaningful program with 11 kids?�

Hamilton College considers siblings enrolled in the first four years of their first full-time undergraduate degree program as a factor when determining financial need. Hamilton College does not consider siblings beyond four years of undergraduate study, in graduate studies, a second undergraduate program, enrolled less than full-time, or parents enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program as a factor.
Having more than one child in college (see definition above) may have a significant impact on a student's financial aid award. If a family has one child in college, their expected family contribution (EFC) will be the amount that the family is responsible for contributing toward their son or daughter's education that year. However, if that same family has two children attending college (see definition above), the parent contribution portion of their EFC may be dramatically reduced by up to 50%. Conversely, if a student begins attending college and has an older sibling already enrolled in college, upon the older sibling's graduation or when they are no longer enrolled, the parent contribution portion of their EFC may increase by as much as 50%.
