Four options concerning the school system's graduation project were presented to the Davidson County Board of Education at its retreat work session at Davis-Townsend Elementary School on Monday.
Four options concerning the school system's graduation project were presented to the Davidson County Board of Education at its retreat work session at Davis-Townsend Elementary School on Monday.
Christy Slate, director of students services for the system, presented four options to the board.
The first choice is to keep the graduation project as it is with a few tweaks. That may include the grading of the project, mixing up faculty groups in order for them to see the entire project and better aligning everything with 21st century skills and learning. Another idea is sharing some of the responsibilities with other classes rather than making the project the bulk of English IV.
Option two is to transition the project to an online format such as Gaggle, with a focus on 21st century skills. Slate noted that the digital move will spread the project to all courses that demonstrate 21st century skills, such as biology, math and science, and not just English. This option would involve more teachers.
With that option, students would drop documents into a created folder online. A different component would be having students present their findings in front of their teachers instead of a group of community judges at the end. It would still be mandatory in order to graduate.
The third option is to eliminate the projects and transition into something more project-based or problem-based. Slate explains that the weight of the projects would be lowered because it would not be a requirement for graduation.
The final option is to eliminate the graduation project.
"Is the graduation project meeting the needs of the students," Slate said. "Some students have threatened to quit school because of the graduation project."
Slate said she has heard many complaints from parents concerning the graduation project.
"It is because of the high stakes nature of it," Slate said.
School superintendent Dr. Lory Morrow said aspects of the graduation project are beneficial for students planning on going to college.
Morrow also said that Valley Academy will be hiring a staffer to work with teachers and students on project-based learning.
Morrow, meanwhile, presented to the board SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) for Davidson County school system.
Members of the board took about 10 minutes to come up with strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats about Davidson County school system.
"There are no right or wrong answers," Morrow told the board.
Some of the strengths the board came up with included teachers who are open and transparent, good administration, great facilities and great staff and school board. Other strengths included parents who are willing to be involved and a motivated superintendent.
Weaknesses included funding for technology, too many changes too fast, teacher morale and misconceptions from public. Opportunities included creating smaller schools, a new high school and technology upgrades. Threats included finances, teacher morale, county commissioners, and charter schools.
"You have all identified issues that we can work with," Morrow said.
Morrow said that she will now take these elements are create goals that the school system will work on.
"We will bring our goals out to the community," Morrow said. "Thank you for thinking of our district and helping us lay the groundwork."
Morrow also discussed understanding Common Core standards. She handed out a booklet "Understanding Common Core State Standards" by John Kendall. Common Core was developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Forty-five states, including the District of Columbia, have adopted Common Core Standards.
"This allows our teachers to really dig deep when it comes to preparing our students to move on to the next grade," Morrow said. "We need our students to be decision makers and collaborators."
Morrow also said that Common Core is helping her and her staff present more non-fiction type books and how to gather information from texts like detectives. She also said the school system is raising the level of vocabulary and raising math standards.
Morrow also said that a math term called coherence is also being used in an effort to teach students how to think. She added students are being taught the "where, how and why" or rigor when solving math problems, instead of just providing an answer.
"We want our students to show us how they got their answers, not just to memorize," Morrow said. "There have been lots of misconceptions about Common Core."
Morrow added that many teachers throughout the county like the Common Core Standards, but it has been difficult for others to grasp the importance of it.
"I think Common Core has gotten a bad name because some systems don't understand the difference between standards and curriculum," Morrow said.

Area school administrators will gather at SUNY Cortland Tuesday, Aug. 19, to participate in an interactive panel discussion as well as hands-on activities geared to foster effective approaches to teaching mathematics to kindergarten through the ninth grade.
During the conference participants will break for comedian Dan Viola who, as a husband and father of seven, connects with any audience, especially those willing to think "outside of the gutter." He incorporates his myriad life experiences into smart, clean and razor-sharp comedy.
Viola has worked his magic alongside Jon Stewart, Rob Schneider, Kevin Nealon, Jay Pharoah of "Saturday Night Live," Sam Kinison, Steven Wright and The Shirelles. The Rochester, N.Y.-based entertainer also hosted the comedy game show "The Battle of Wits." Viola's credits include appearances on The Nashville Network and in TV commercials.
The conference program, "Getting to the Core of Learning and Achievement in Mathematics," is offered during the 2014 Francis J. Cheney Educational Leadership Summer Conference, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Sperry Center.
|Comedian Dan Viola will regale his audience with humor directly after lunch.
"There's been a lot of discussion about implementing the modules in the Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS)," said Kevin Mack M '74, C.A.S. '78, coordinator of the Educational Leadership Department in SUNY Cortland's School of Education. "Every administrator had to deal with the modules through the ninth grade last year. This year, we're asking administrators to bring teachers to the conference. As the school year is coming on soon, it's a good time to have this conversation."
Participants will address the following questions:
• What do schools do to successfully implement the CCLS/modules using a district-wide curriculum?
• How do schools incorporate the modules into the curriculum?
• How do leaders set teachers up for success in implementing CCLS?
• What are essential and guiding questions and how should educators use them in their teaching?
Sponsored by Louise M. Conley, Ph.D., and the Cortland College Foundation, the free conference is geared for all area school administrators, future administrators and students enrolled in SUNY Cortland's Educational Leadership Department. The administrators are encouraged to bring with them their teachers of mathematics, kindergarten through ninth grade.
Participant registration is required to attend the conference. To register for the event, which includes lunch and refreshments, or to receive more information, contact the Educational Leadership Department by calling Gen Herrling at 607-753-2444 or by contacting Janice Eaton at 607-753-2447.
Gary Astles, the retired principal and a Board of Education member in the Trumansburg Central School District, will facilitate the panel discussions, which will spotlight specialists from many school districts across New York state and at SUNY Cortland.
The administrative panel will feature Jeffrey Evener '02, M '05, C.A.S. '07, a principal at Lansing Middle School; Zane Mahar C.A.S. '08, high school principal in the Sauquoit Valley Central district; Sara Vakkas C.A.S. '11, director of instruction for the Trumansburg district; and Stephen Dunham C.A.S. '10, principal at West Genesee Middle School.
The planned teacher's panel presentation will include Tracy Orr Durkee '90, M '95, a fifth grade teacher in the Homer Central district; Jackie Mack, a first grade teacher in the Cortland City district; Abbey Hadzicki Albright '02, Mathematics Department chair for the Cortland City district and one of 35 participants in SUNY Cortland's new Master Teacher Program; and Isaac Maslyn, special education teacher in the Cincinnatus Central district.
Then Denise Harvey Cook '93, C.A.S. '06, elementary principal in the Deposit Central district, and Kevin Mack will address the essential questions of the gathering.
The summer conference marks its sixth year as an annual event.
Kevin Mack, who chairs the Educational Leadership Department, works with an 11-member advisory board composed of regional school administrators to organize the one-day summer conference, arranged to encourage the free exchange of ideas in a small-group setting.
Named after Francis J. Cheney, who served as Cortland Normal School principal from 1891 until his death in 1912, the educational conference was created and funded by Cheney's granddaughter, Louise M. Conley of Princeton, N.J. Conley chairs the Cortland College Foundation Board of Directors.
The conference's mission is to create a learning community for educational leaders that enhances and supports the success of all students through ongoing professional development, refinement of leadership skills and networking.

President Obama said Thursday he would not apologize for trading five Taliban detainees for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who the White House says could have been killed if details had leaked before his release last weekend.
Speaking in Brussels, Obama pushed back against swelling criticism on Capitol Hill by insisting Americans should view Bergdahl as a prisoner of war, not a "political football."
"You have a couple of parents whose kid volunteered to fight in a distant land who they hadn't seen in five years and weren't sure whether they'd ever see again," Obama told reporters.
"I make absolutely no apologies for making sure that we get back a young man to his parents and that the American people understand that this is somebody's child," he added. Obama is to return to Washington on Friday after attending D-day anniversary ceremonies in France.
The administration suggested for the first time that Bergdahl's life could have been in danger if information had leaked about the secret negotiations between U.S. diplomats and Taliban leaders, working through intermediaries in the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, that led to the trade.
"We had both specific and general indications that Sgt. Bergdahl's recovery, and potentially his life, could be jeopardized if the detainee exchange proceedings were disclosed or derailed," said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Administration officials said they worried that Bergdahl faced danger, even after the deal was made, from Taliban guards or others who didn't agree with freeing the American.
There might be "someone guarding him that possibly wouldn't agree and could take harmful action against him," said Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman. "Time was of the essence."
Democratic leaders mostly accepted those assertions, as well as administration claims that the talks in Qatar were touch-and-go and that the deal didn't come together until the final hours, leaving too little time to brief members of Congress in advance.
The choice not to consult Congress has infuriated some members, who say a 2014 law requires the White House to give 30 days' notice before seeking to transfer anyone from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The administration maintains that Obama had authority to act without consulting Congress.
Bergdahl's release Saturday initially sparked jubilation and a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House, but it quickly turned sour for the administration. Critics have complained that releasing the five Taliban prisoners was too big a concession.
Bergdahl apparently had grown disillusioned with the war and, according to an initial Pentagon investigation, slipped away from his outpost in eastern Afghanistan. He was captured by the Haqqani network, allies of the Taliban, and held for nearly five years.
Bergdahl is being treated at Landstuhl Army Medical Center in Germany, and his health "continues to improve daily," according to a Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Steve Warren. "He is conversing with medical staff and becoming more engaged in his treatment plan."
"The process is about helping the returnee gain control of his emotions," Warren said. "One of the methods the psychologists use to help the returnee is to allow him to tell his story."
Bergdahl has not spoken to his parents yet, and no date has been set for his return to the United States.
In an interview with the BBC, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the administration's national security leaders had all recommended Obama approve the deal that secured Bergdahl's release. "We all came to the same conclusion that we didn't want to take any chances here," Hagel said.
The controversy showed little sign of abating on Capitol Hill. At least one senior Democrat joined Republicans in taking offense at the implication that they couldn't keep the negotiations secret.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said "there is a very tight control" on classified information. "We do not leak. I take great pride in that."
An aide to the GOP House leadership said the claim that the details were too sensitive to share with Congress was "a flimsy and frankly offensive argument." The aide said "it seems clear that a large number of administration officials knew in advance."
Times staff writers Lisa Mascaro and Paul Richter in Washington and Kathleen Hennessey in Brussels contributed to this report.

FDA proposes tighter rules on antibacterial soaps
U.S. regulators on Monday issued a proposed rule that would require makers of antibacterial hand soaps and body washes to demonstrate their products are safe and more effective than soap and water in preventing infection and the spread of bacteria.
"Although consumers generally view these products as effective tools to help prevent the spread of germs, there is currently no evidence that they are any more effective at preventing illness than washing with plain soap and water," the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in a statement.
The FDA said research has suggested long-term exposure to antibacterial chemicals, such as triclosan in liquid soaps and triclocarban in bar soaps, could have hormonal affects and allow bacteria to mutate into harder-to-control strains.
The agency said companies that fail to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of their products would have to reformulate them to back up the product claims, or re-label them to keep them on store shelves.
Such products are widely sold and touted, and include SoftSoap products from Colgate Palmolive, Cetaphil from Galderma Laboratories, and Dial products from Henkel AG.
The FDA said the action is part of a larger ongoing review by the agency to ensure that antibacterial ingredients are safe and effective. But the proposed rule would not affect hand sanitizers, wipes or antimicrobial products used in healthcare settings, the agency said.
The move comes five days after the FDA issued new guidelines to phase out the use of antibiotics as a growth enhancer in livestock, also in an effort to stem a surge in human resistance to antibiotics.
"Due to consumers' extensive exposure to the ingredients in antibacterial soaps, we believe there should be a clearly demonstrated benefit ... to balance any potential risk," said Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Almost all soaps labeled "antibacterial" or "antimicrobial" contain at least one of the antibacterial ingredients addressed in the FDA's proposed rule, most notably triclosan and triclocarban, and some labeled "deodorant" may also contain these ingredients, the agency said.
The proposed rule will be available for public comment for 180 days. Concurrently, companies will be given one year to submit new data and information, followed by a 60-day rebuttal comment period.

In a recent screen of Value Line's European Objective group, Fidelity Nordic Fund (FNORX) turned up as one of the top performers. While the fund's focus on Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish securities makes it far more focused than the average European fund, that may be a reason to take a second look. Indeed, the fund highlights a somewhat unique section of Europe that may deserve additional focus from investors.
Specifically, these countries share a long history that ties them culturally, religiously, and economically in a way that is different than the ties between the rest of the European nations. That isn't to say that these similarities are better or worse, only that countries of the Nordic region are, perhaps, more similar to each other than they are to the other countries of the Continent. In fact, in a recent shareholder report, Fidelity made a point of highlighting that increased global competition has led these nations to reassess their "historically generous" welfare programs. This, in turn, has likely hurt domestic demand and employment.
Of course, the economic factors that have affected the Nordic region have been issues throughout Europe, too. So welfare, domestic demand, and unemployment are not unique to the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish markets. That said, these are relatively small countries and such problems can have an outsized impact. In addition, countries in the region tend to be focused on forestry, agriculture, and oil production. They are, thus, as a group, heavily resource-dependent. This can be both a blessing and curse, depending on which way commodity prices are trending.
Fidelity Nordic Fund primarily invests in common stocks. The manager uses fundamental analysis when making selections. Factors such as a company's financial condition and industry position are considered. However, larger industry, country, and world-wide developments are also considered in the process. By prospectus, the fund is allowed to engage in currency hedging. The fund is, obviously, highly focused on a select region, though Fidelity makes particular effort to point out that the fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in any industry that represents more than 20% of the Nordic market. So, while the fund is generally a diversified way to invest in the region, it has the ability to focus its individual holdings quite heavily in select areas.
The fund has a solid long-term record, besting Value Line's European objective group over the trailing one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods through the end of September. This performance led to an Overall Rank that was better than the average European fund under Value Line's review. That said, the fund also received a Risk rank that was worse than the average European fund, underscoring the fact that the fund is about 20% more volatile (based on standard deviation) than other funds focused on Europe. Fidelity Nordic Fund's concentration on just a handful of roughly similar countries, however, clearly adds to its risk profile in comparison to more broadly invested offerings.
With a $2,500 minimum investment and a reasonable expense ratio that is generally lower than the average European fund, Fidelity Nordic Fund is an interesting option for investors seeking European exposure—particularly if there is a desire to invest in just the Nordic region, or if broader commodity exposure is thought desirable.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Bearing Witness is a unique professional development opportunity designed to provide Catholic school educators with the training and resources necessary to teach their students about the historical relationship between Jewish and Catholic communities and the impact of that relationship on Catholic teaching, catechesis and liturgy.
Since its inception, Bearing Witness has trained over 2000 Catholic school educators across the country.
Through Bearing Witness, participants explore the history of anti-Semitism, including the role of the Church during the Holocaust, recent changes in Catholic teachings on Jews and Judaism, issues of prejudice in contemporary society and practical strategies for teaching students about the Holocaust and anti-Semitism.
Bearing Witness is a partnership between the ADL, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Georgetown University Center for Jewish Civilization and local dioceses.
Eileen Ludwig Greenland Bearing Witness Summer Institute
The Eileen Ludwig Greenland National Bearing Witness Summer Institute brings together 40 Catholic School educators from around the country to engage in five-days of intensive study designed to give them the skills and resources necessary to bring the lessons of anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, and modern-day prejudice to their students and school communities.
The program takes place at various sites around the Washington, D.C. area including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Embassy of Israel, Georgetown University, and a local synagogue. Sessions are led by specialists in the fields of Jewish studies, Holocaust studies, and Catholic-Jewish relations.
May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation Bearing Witness™ Advanced Program
The Bearing Witness Advanced Program assembles a select group of past Bearing Witness Program participants to travel to Israel for a week. The program offers them the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the relationship of the Holy Land to Jews, Christians and Muslims. Participants deepen their knowledge of the complex history of modern Israel, learn more about contemporary manifestations of anti-Semitism, and deepen their understanding of the Holocaust and its relevance today.
While in Israel, educators visit sites sacred to Jews and Christians. They visit Yad Vashem (Israel's official memorial to the Holocaust) which allows them to expand their knowledge gained in Bearing Witness. Throughout the trip, participants hear from a variety of resident scholars offering them the opportunity to explore the complex political, economic, geographic, religious and sociological factors that currently impact Israel, its citizens and its neighbors.

Serology for brucellosis is a blood test to look for the presence of
Alternative Names
Brucella serology; Brucella antibody test or titer
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Why the Test is Performed
Brucellosis is an infection that occurs from coming into contact with animals that carry Brucella bacteria.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs or symptoms of
Normal Results
A normal (negative) result usually means you have not come in contact with the bacteria that causes brucellosis. However, this test may not detect the disease at an early stage. Your doctor may have you come back for another test in 10 days to3 weeks.
Infection with other bacteria, such as Yersinia, Francisella, and Vibrio, and certain immunizations can cause false-positive results.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal (positive) result usually means you have come in contact with the bacteria that causes brucellosis.
However, this positive result does not mean that you have an active infection. Your doctor will have you repeat the test after a few weeks to see if the test result increases. This increase is more likely to be a sign of a current infection.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education, recommended thepentatonic harp or lyre (also known as a kinderharp or kinder lyre) as an ideal instrument for use with young children.
Its dreamy, quiet, and heavenly quality is calming and soothing for babies, toddlers and young children, and it's simple enough for children and adults with little or no musical background to play.
Tuned in the five-note pentatonic scale (D, E, G, A, B, d, e), anything played on the instrument will sound beautiful and harmonious. There are no wrong notes!
I get phone calls and emails every week asking about the differences between the various pentatonic harps and lyres that we sell at Bella Luna Toys, so in this week's video I demonstrate the differences between them, talk about the benefits of these instruments for in early childhood, and let you actually hear them.
Instruments Demonstrated:
- Song of the Sea 7-String Pentatonic Harp
- Song of the Sea 10-String Pentatonic Harp
- Choroi Children's Harp (Kinderharp)
I hope I've answered your questions, but if not, leave your comments and questions here and I'll do my best to answer them!

Patients with fibromyalgia (FMS) suffer with chronic widespread, generalized muscle pain, along with headaches, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue.
Patients with fibromyalgia (FMS) suffer with chronic widespread, generalized muscle pain, along with headaches, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue. FMS, one of the central hypersensitivity syndromes, occurs when the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) becomes hypersensitive to different stimulus, leading to many different symptoms.
Currently, we have adequate scientific evidence that central hypersensitivity is mainly caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine or others. Serotonin and norepinephrine are produced and regulated within the brain and spinal cord to keep everyday pain sensation and mood in sync, by balancing pain and other signals. When levels of serotonin or norepinephrine are decreased and unbalanced, which occurs with fibromyalgia or depression, the brain becomes incapable of processing the transmitted pain signals properly. Pain signals can be exaggerated and even disordered.
Research has shown that by increasing levels of either serotonin or norepinephrine — or both — in the brain with the use of antidepressants, pain signals can be decreased. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac and dual-acting serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) such as Effexor, Cymbalta and Savella, have proven capable of decreasing pain while treating both depression and chronic pain.
Our minds, the source of thoughts and feelings, allow us to experience sensations, including those of pain. Even though pain signals are processed by the brain, they are heavily influenced by the mind. The mind and mood are also influenced by neurotransmitters. Feelings of anger or hopelessness, associated with depression and chronic pain, enhance negative thinking, which can intensify pain signals and increase feelings of distress and despair. It has been widely observed that those who are optimistic improve more quickly and suffer less than others whose are pessimistic.
Scientists have proven we can train our mind and then change our brains (neurotransmitters). Cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) focuses on altering distorted belief, attitude and expectation patterns by substituting a new response to a given pain suffering. CBT also shows individuals how to evaluate things in a more balanced manner. Three principles of CBT are to recognize problems, to offer retraining of coping skills, and to teach the patient how to apply these skills in everyday life.
Many studies have already proven that combining CBT with antidepressants can offer relief to sufferers of chronic pain with or without depression. The key is to realize that some situations cannot be changed, but you can change yourself and the way you react to them.

Microsoft and Yahoo Met to Discuss Merger: ReportBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-03-14 Print
Microsoft, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, presented its vision for a combined company to Yahoo earlier this week.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp and Yahoo Inc met on Monday to discuss Microsoft's takeover offer for the Internet company, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The meeting was said to be the first since Microsoft made its unsolicited offer for Yahoo, worth nearly $42 billion, on January 31. Yahoo rejected the offer as inadequate last month.
The Journal said the meeting wasn't a negotiation and that no bankers were present.
The session was intended to allow Microsoft to present its vision of a combined company, and Yahoo executives mostly listened, the Journal quoted one of the sources as saying.
Microsoft and Yahoo spokesmen declined to comment.

"[Mathematica] was helpful.... It was easy to set up, and came up with a lot of interesting rules which did things...I didn't know that these kinds of distance transforms could do."
Richard Scott works in image processing at CDx Laboratories, a pathology lab that specializes in computer-aided cell analysis to provide early detection of cancer. Mathematica was a key tool in developing new computer programs to quickly identify abnormal cells in patients and provide more definitive diagnoses.
Scott says, "Mathematica allows easy integration and evaluation of different kinds of imaging algorithms."

text: Wellness 2015-10-09 How to Identify Hearing Loss Main Article Content Breadcrumb navigation All/Wellness/Hearing Loss Better Hearing With Awareness and Audiology About 20 percent of Americans report some degree of hearing loss, and by the age of 65, that prevalence can be as high as one in three. Moreover, research suggests that people often wait as many as 10 years before seeking treatment. "In most cases, hearing loss occurs very gradually and as a result, many people won't notice its effects immediately," says Alan G. Micco, MD, an otolaryngologist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "There are different types and different degrees of hearing loss and, often times, you may be able to still hear well at certain frequencies and in certain environments, while missing words and struggling to understand in others." Social situations tend to be where hearing loss becomes most apparent. You may be at the beginning stages of hearing loss if you find yourself: Often asking people to repeat themselves Having trouble following group conversations Tending to misunderstand people Interpreting most speech as mumbling Listening to music or TV at a high volume Experiencing ringing in your ears Needing to concentrate particularly hard during conversations Impact on Your Emotional Health In addition to impacting your ability to hear and sometimes function, hearing loss can also impact your emotional health. You may feel more stressed from straining to hear, or annoyed at others and yourself when you have trouble understanding them. It may impact your excitement to participate in social events or cause you to avoid activities you used to enjoy. What Causes Hearing Loss You may be more likely to have hearing loss if you have a family history or are taking medications that can harm the hearing system. Diabetes and heart or circulation problems may also be warning signs of hearing loss. Excessive noise is the most common cause of hearing loss. Exposure to loud noise, which is defined as over 85 decibels and includes sounds ranging from a chainsaw to a jet engine, can become dangerous when repeated often. Quick quizzes, like this Hearing Health Test from the American Academy of Audiology, can help you determine if you're suffering from or beginning to feel the effects of hearing loss. Hearing Aid Options If you or someone you know appears to be suffering from hearing loss, an audiologist can help you find the best treatment for your level of loss. Hearing aids come in many different sizes and shapes. In addition, there are many accessories available for hearing in more challenging listening situations, such as background noise, distance, and hearing accurately on the telephone. Your audiologist can help choose the right options for you based on your lifestyle and listening needs, as well as your cosmetic preferences. Only one out of five people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wear one. To learn more about treatment options for hearing loss, reach out to the Audiology Services team at Northwestern Medicine.

Hickory Springs Announces C.E. White Buyout
January 4, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Hickory Springs Announces C.E. White Buyout
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Co. announced the acquisition of The C.E. White Co., a New Washington, Ohio-based manufacturer of seating products for the commercial/transit and school bus markets. According to a press release, the move will provide Hickory Spring's customers with "a complete seating solution."
"Welcoming The C.E. White Co. to the Hickory Springs organization enhances opportunities for both companies as it leverages the core capabilities of each," noted David Colburn, president and CEO for North Carolina-based Hickory Springs which manufactures components for the furniture, bedding, transportation and a growing number of diversified markets. "This acquisition makes Hickory Springs a more well-rounded player in the industry, able to capitalize on its unique competitive advantage as a producer of multiple components that can now be combined to create an integrated seating solution, and bringing new opportunities to C.E. White in the process."
The integration of both companies will take place over the next 90 days. In the meantime, Hickory Springs said customers will "continue to receive the same high-quality service they have come to expect from C.E. White."
"I cannot begin to express my excitement about this opportunity, which brings together the capabilities and resources of two very well-established and long-term companies to the benefit of both," said Tony Everett, president and CEO of C.E. White. "I liken it to a three-legged stool. Hickory Springs offers two legs of the stool, or in this case the seat – the metal frame and the foam – and C.E. White brings the third leg – cut and sewn covers and experience as a seat manufacturer – to create a solid company with an integrated solution for the transportation seating market. As a result, we can anticipate increased business opportunities and a positive impact on the communities in which C. E. White operates.
"The same people will take care of our customers, and there will be no changes in company philosophy," Everett added. "In fact, Hickory's philosophy and C.E. White's are very similar. They are both family-based companies, customer-driven and customer-focused, and I'm confident a stronger company will emerge from this transaction."
The C.E. White Co. will continue to be headquartered in New Washington. Everett will report directly to Lee Lunsford, executive vice president and chief operations officer at Hickory Springs, to ensure a smooth and successful merger.

VIDEO: The Starters preview the Mavericks-Spurs series
HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — Spurs-Mavericks is the enjoy-it-while-it-lasts series. For the sixth time in their Hall-of-Fame careers, Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki will face off in the playoffs. They've been representing the same teams for 17 and 16 years respectively.
The Spurs have won four of the five previous meetings and are the favorites to advance again this year. San Antonio registered the league's best record, was the only team to rank in the top six in both offensive and defensive efficiency, and swept the season series, 4-0.
Here are some statistical nuggets regarding the No. 1 and 8 seeds in the Western Conference, as well as the four regular-season games they played against each other.
Pace = Possessions per 48 minutes
OffRtg = Points scored per 100 possessions
DefRtg = Points allowed per 100 possessions
NetRtg = Point differential per 100 possessions
San Antonio Spurs (62-20)
Pace: 97.1 (12)
OffRtg: 108.2 (6)
DefRtg: 100.1 (4)
NetRtg: +8.1 (1)
Overall: Team stats | Player stats | Lineups
vs. Dallas: Team stats | Player stats | Lineups
Spurs notes:
- For the second straight season, the Spurs' starting lineup was the best defensive lineup among those that played at least 200 minutes together, allowing just 87.5 points per 100 possessions.
- Led the league in clutch-time offensive efficiency, scoring 123.5 points per 100 possessions with a score differential of five points or less in the last five minute of the fourth quarter or overtime. Tony Parker (64.1 percent) and Tim Duncan (61.3 percent) ranked second and third in clutch-time field goal percentage among players who attempted at least 25 clutch-time shots.
- Among players with at least 500 field goal attempts each of the last two seasons, Marco Belinelli was the most improved shooter in the league, with an effective field goal percentage of 57.6 percent, up from 46.0 percent last season.
- Among players who attempted at least 300 shots before the All-Star break and 200 after it, Boris Diaw's effective field goal percentage dropped the most, from 59.6 percent before the break and 49.5 percent after it.
Dallas Mavericks (49-33)
Pace: 95.7 (17)
OffRtg: 109.0 (3)
DefRtg: 105.9 (22)
NetRtg: +3.0 (11)
Overall: Team stats | Player stats | Lineups
vs. San Antonio: Team stats | Player stats | Lineups
Mavericks notes:
- Worst defensive team among those that made the playoffs.
- Best jump-shooting team in the league, the only one with an effective field goal percentage of better than 50 percent from outside the paint.
- Brandan Wright shot 79.0 percent in the restricted area, the highest mark among players who attempted at least 100 shots there.
- Monta Ellis led the league with 827 total drives.
The matchup
Season series: Spurs won 4-0
Pace: 97.4
SAS OffRtg: 115.2 (4th vs. DAL)
DAL OffRtg: 103.5 (10th vs. SAS)
Matchup notes:
- Danny Green (12-for-20) and Patty Mills (11-for-23) combined to shoot 23-for-43 (53 percent) in four games against the Mavs. Green was a plus-57 in 103 minutes.
- For the season, Dirk Nowitzki averaged 2.4 3-pointers per 48 minutes. He made just one three in 128 minutes against the Spurs. Nowitzki and Ellis combined to shoot just 2-for-13 from 3-point range in the four meetings.
- In the last meeting (April 10), Dallas was a plus 22 in 27 minutes with Devin Harris on the floor and a minus-29 in 21 minutes with Harris on the bench. Harris only played in the final two meetings.
- Jose Calderon shot 4-for-19 when being defended by Parker.

English University researchers are to spend a year studying the Irish pub – in an effort to rescue the ailing industry.
The Vintners Federation of Ireland is funding the research in a bid to stop the decline of the traditional Irish bar.
The Federation is alarmed by the closure of 1,100 Irish pubs in the last five years.
Rural communities have borne the brunt of the closures with the researchers from York University now set to investigate their decline.
The research team will be led by Dr Ignazio Cabras, the real ale-loving son of an Italian vineyard owner.
He told the Irish Independent that he wants to explore the role village pubs play in local communities and find ways of halting their decline.
A lecturer in economics, business and management at York University's Management School, Dr Cabras spent six years conducting similar research on the state of English country inns.
He told the paper: "Rural pubs are in serious decline. However, they often have a vital role to play in both the social and economic wellbeing of a rural community.
"From providing an outlet for the sale of local produce, to a meeting place for a local sports club, to a focal point for a charitable activity, rural pubs are often at the heart of the rural community.
"Pubs are also important generators of part-time and casual employment. This is often more important in rural areas where work opportunities for some categories of people, such as students and women with families, are frequently reduced."
Dr Cabras also said the business in Britain and Ireland is very different.
He added: "Pub companies are the main players in the UK and own the majority of public houses.
"In Ireland, 90pc are independently owned. The majority of pubs are still family-run, one-bar operations, although the recession has forced many businesses to reduce their opening hours and staff.
"This situation may have caused the closure of many village and rural pubs, which experience less custom compared with those located in urban areas."
The research team findings and those from a 14-month study into rural pubs in England will be presented at the Beeronomics Conference next year at York University.
Ireland's Vintner's Federation fear that a further 800 pubs are in serious financial trouble with 4,800 jobs at risk.
Federation chief Padraig Cribben said 20 per cent of its members are at crisis point.
Cribben said: "It is intended that this study will quantify the real benefits that pubs bestow in rural areas.
"Dr Cabras and his team have great experience and expertise and we hope to have quantitative and qualitative data that will allow us to further demonstrate the importance of the pub in the local community."

Welterweight Siyar Bahadurzada (20-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) meets Paulo Thiago (14-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at April's UFC on FUEL TV 2 event in Sweden.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the booking with event sources. UFC officials first confirmed the matchup with Swedish site mmanytt.se.
UFC on FUEL TV 2 takes place April 14 at Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden. The entire card is expected to air on the FOX-owned FUEL TV.
Bahadurzada makes his UFC debut. "The Great" was expected to make his promotional debut against Erick Silva at next week's UFC 142 event before an injury forced Bahadurzada to withdraw from the card. Bahadurzada most recently fought this past May, when he defeated teammate Tommy Depret in the finals of United Glory's World Series tournament.
Bahadurzada's current six-fight win streak includes knockouts of notables John Alessio and Derrick Noble, among others.
Meanwhile, Thiago was also expected to compete at UFC 142 before an injury forced him out of a planned contest with Mike Pyle. Thiago most recently appeared at the UFC's long-awaited return to Brazil at UFC 134. To deafening fanfare, Thiago, a full-time police officer with a special anti-terrorist unit of the Brazilian police, outpointed David Mitchell. The win halted a two-fight skid for the fighter.
