School choice option seen as student solution in Dunbarton, Goffstown
By HENRY METZ
Union Leader Correspondent
GOFFSTOWN - The Goffstown and Dunbarton school boards will direct their respective attorneys to examine the feasibility of the so-called "school choice option," a plan that Dunbarton has suggested would lessen the disruptions to its students as the town transitions from its Authorized Regional Enrollment (AREA) agreement with Goffstown to a new AREA agreement with Bow.
Representatives from both school boards met last night to discuss how to implement the plan that would allow some Dunbarton students to enroll in Bow schools earlier than 2014 - when the AREA agreement with Goffstown is set to expire - and allow other Dunbarton students to remain in Goffstown schools beyond 2014 if they choose.
Under the proposal as presented by Dunbarton, students in the Class of 2017 entering ninth grade in September would have the option of attending Bow High School before 2014. Similarly, students in the Class of 2018 entering their freshman year in 2014 would have the option of continuing at Goffstown High School for the balance of their high school careers. And Dunbarton students in the Class of 2019 entering the seventh grade this September would have the option of attending either Bow Memorial School or Mountain View Middle School for seventh and eighth grade, and also have the option of attending Bow High School or Goffstown High for their entire high school careers.
In March, Dunbarton residents voted to enter into a new AREA agreement with Bow and let the town's 40-year-old agreement with Goffstown expire. Currently, Goffstown also has an agreement with New Boston, with its students attending Mountain View Middle School and Goffstown High School. New Boston has elected to continue its AREA agreement with Goffstown.
At a meeting of the Dunbarton School Board last month, several Dunbarton parents expressed concern that the transition to Bow would be disruptive to Dunbarton students, some of whom would find themselves attending as many as three different schools in two different communities in four years.
Those residents asked Dunbarton School Board members to approach Goffstown with the school choice plan which they said could also allow Goffstown to generate more revenue from Dunbarton after 2014.
The two Goffstown School Board members who attended Tuesday night's meeting expressed concern that what Dunbarton is asking for is a legal minefield that could expose Goffstown to lawsuits on several fronts.
School board member Keith Allard, representing Goffstown, said Goffstown's attorney had advised them that any change to the current AREA agreement among Dunbarton , New Boston and Goffstown would require a vote of the residents of the three communities.
But Dunbarton School Board member Jeff Trexler cited two mechanisms under state law whereby that would not be necessary. The first would require Dunbarton to show hardship, and the second would require the school choice option to be carried out using annual contracts instead of a multi-year contract.
"Goffstown School Board member Ginny McKinnon said one difficulty is that Goffstown has already set its budget and staffing goals for next year, and those goals have taken into account the exodus of Dunbarton students in 2014.
McKinnon also questioned whether Bow would take issue with Dunbarton's proposal once it crunches the numbers. "They're expecting this revenue to come in (tuition payments from Dunbarton) to keep programs running, but yet their enrollment's going to go down from what they expected when agreed with you," McKinnon said.
Trexler, however, responded that Bow has consented to the school choice option. "The way Bow looks at it, they don't want unhappy kids from Dunbarton who don't want to be there," he said.
One significant issue that will have to be worked out is transportation. Under state law, a town must provide transportation for students up to the eighth grade. Trexler said Dunbarton understands its obligation in that area and is working on a plan that would address that issue.
"If we proceed to do anything, we have to do it in a way to reduce our liability exposure," said Allard.
After the attorneys from both sides review the proposal, Dunbarton and Goffstown will meet with their counterparts from New Boston, tentatively scheduled for May 9 at the SAU 19 office in Goffstown.
Allard said Goffstown has not begun discussions with New Boston on a new AREA agreement, and he doubts whether any new agreement could be arrived at within the next 30 days.
Trexler said there is not much time to move on the proposal. "If we're going to be making choices about next September, we're going to need to be making those choices within the next month," he said.

Taal Volcano's (14°00.1'N, 120°59.6'E) seismic network recorded four (4) volcanic earthquakes during the past 24 hours. Field observation and measurements conducted at the western sector inside the Main Crater Lake (via Alas-as) on 29 March 2011 showed that steaming activity at the thermal area was weak. The water level receded from 0.50 m to 0.36 m. The water temperature of the Crater is at 29.8°C, the same as in the previous survey. The pH value is at 2.93 compared to the last reading of 2.92 on 15 March 2011. Result of the ground deformation survey (precise leveling) conducted around the Volcano Island last 02-09 February 2011 showed that volcano edifice is slightly inflated as compared with the 15-23 December 2010 survey.
Alert Level 1 is still enforced over Taal Volcano. This means that a hazardous eruption is not imminent. However, the public is reminded that the Main Crater should be strictly off-limits due to sudden occurrence of steam explosions and accumulation of toxic gases. The northern portion of the Main Crater rim, in the vicinity of Daang Kastila trail, may also be dangerous when increased steam emission is reactivated along existing fissures. Moreover, the public is also reminded that the entire Volcano Island is a Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ), and permanent settlement in the island is strictly not recommended.

Auto window glass replacement should be possible by the fledgling on the off chance that he or she takes as much time as necessary and has some guideline. It doesn't require any uncommon learning or costly devices to replace car glass, however it takes tolerance! Here we will talk about replacing a settled car glass that is attached to the car body as opposed to being set into a removable casing.
On the off chance that you are going to replace car glass that is not set in a casing, then you will fundamentally need to "cut" the old glass out of the car. This strategy requires a couple of reasonable instruments that are frequently not in a typical tool collection. You require a bit of piano wire to use as a saw, and two or three modest suction container handles to lift out the old glass (on the off chance that it is still in one piece) and to put the new glass into position without touching the edges of the glass.
|glass replacement car window
That was the simple part! The following stride is to expel all the old cement from the car body, which isn't troublesome however it can be dull! Some administration manuals educate you to leave a slight layer of the first glue on the car and simply smooth it out, yet in the event that it is a more established vehicle that may not be the best decision. When you have expelled all the old glue (or smoothed it out), you should clean the surfaces altogether utilizing rubbing liquor or the cleaner indicated by the guidelines that accompanied the new cement. At that point you should plan both the new glass surface and the surface that the new cement contacts. Once more, take after the guidelines for the kind of new glue you are utilizing. There might be a groundwork that should be connected to the old cement, and some of the time an alternate preliminary that goes on the glass. Pay consideration on any curing times that are determined. Be mindful so as not to touch any of the contact surfaces with your hands, or you could keep the glue from fixing and holding appropriately. In the wake of preparing both surfaces, apply a dot of cement around the edge of the glass as educated by the administration manual and/or the glue directions. You might be told to make the dot somewhat bigger in the corner regions.
After the new glue has been connected and any suggested curing times have been watched, utilize the suction glass handles to introduce the new glass into position. Equitably press the glass into the glue until it is completely situated the distance around. Try not to exasperate the vehicle for a few hours as indicated by the glue guidelines, and after that be mindful so as not to pummel the entryways as well as drive on any unreasonably harsh streets for a few days until the cement has had room schedule-wise to completely security with both surfaces.
That covers the general strategy for auto glass window installation. Auto window glass replacement should positively be possible by a driver that doesn't have any experience or preparing around there, yet some occupations are unquestionably less demanding than others! On the off chance that this system doesn't seem like something you need to handle yourself, there surely isn't any disgrace in taking your car to an auto glass shop for a replacement, and most shops will even go to your home or work environment to do it for you.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Former President Joseph Estrada was declared the winner of Manila's mayoral election on Tuesday, his first ballot victory since his ouster in a 2001 anti-corruption revolt and a possible prelude to a return to higher office.
Estrada's was among a host of familiar names, including former first lady Imelda Marcos, to score wins in Monday's congressional and local elections. About half the votes have been counted so far, and if they accurately reflect the whole, President Benigno Aquino III will have enough congressional support to enact his policies in his last three years in office.
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Aquino has described the election as a referendum on his administration.
"It seems clear that our countrymen have spoken overwhelmingly to confirm and expand the mandate for reform and change that they first granted in 2010 to President Aquino," Lacierda said.
Estrada is a leader of the opposition coalition, but Lacierda said he and Aquino remain "good friends" and will be able to work together.
Estrada, 76, capitalized on his movie-star popularity, particularly among the poor, and promised to reverse urban decay of the historic capital along Manila Bay. Manila was once a lively tourist spot, but the streets have become neglected and many residents complain of crime.
"I have no other desire in the final years of my life than to offer my experience in public service, to give everything I can to uplift the poor," Estrada told supporters after he was proclaimed the winner at a stadium.
"Manila has been left behind by its neighbors. We will revive the vigor of Manila that we can be proud of," he said.
Estrada, popularly known as Erap, had served for nearly 20 years as mayor of nearby San Juan city, senator and vice president. After his presidential term was cut short by the 2001 revolt, he was convicted of corruption, then pardoned.
Estrada, who finished second in the 2010 presidential election, could use his new position as a springboard for another shot at the presidency.
He defeated incumbent Mayor Alfredo Lim, an 83-year-old former Manila police chief who once served in Estrada's Cabinet as interior secretary. Under Lim's watch, eight Hong Kong tourists were killed by a hostage-taker in 2010 in a bungled police rescue. An investigation found him liable and negligent.
Political dynasties and familiar names continue to monopolize political life in the Philippines. Marcos, the 83-year-old widow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, won her second consecutive term as congresswoman of Ilocos Norte province. Daughter Imee ran unopposed and was re-elected governor.
Aquino's predecessor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, is in hospital detention while facing corruption charges but still appears headed to a second term as a representative of her northern home province of Pampanga. Her son, Dato Arroyo, is ahead in the congressional race in Camarines Sur province southeast of Manila.
Twelve of the 24 Senate seats were up for election, and if early results hold up, Estrada's son JV Ejercito will be among the winners, joining a half-brother who is already a senator. Others among the top 12 for Senate seats include Aquino's cousin Benigno "Bam" Aquino. Two-thirds of the Senate candidates in position to win belong to one of the country's dominant elite political families.
Elections Commission Chairman Sixto Brillantes said he expects turnout of 70 percent out of more than 52 million registered voters. He said that most, if not all, of Senate winners will be proclaimed by late Wednesday.

Helping Adults Who Want a College Degree Find Their Way Forward
Next week, we will release a new report on the concerns and priorities of adults who do not currently have a college degree but intend to go or return to school to receive one. This is an important and growing group -- the population of adult students grew by 51 percent between 1991 and 2011. Many times, these prospective students are returning to school out of economic necessity. Without a credential, they are not as competitive in a very challenging job market.
Unfortunately, our research suggests these adults seeking degrees do not have the information they need to choose a college or program that will best prepare them to navigate their futures.
For instance, many statistics that higher ed experts consider critical - like the graduation rate of a school - don't mean all that much to these prospective students, even when those statistics directly relate to their top concerns. Over two-thirds of the adults we surveyed worry about taking on too much debt as they considering going to college. At the same time, during their college search, barely half believe it's essential to know how much debt a school's average student graduates with.
As a result, many of these adults may end up in a school or program that does not meet their academic, financial, professional or personal needs. Our forthcoming report on the research provides concrete ideas for leaders in education, policy and philanthropy to help adult prospective students make better decisions about college.
We'll have more on the report next Monday - keep an eye out on our homepage and blog for the report's release. If you'd like us to email you the report directly, let us know and we'll be happy to do so.
Town Hall Woes and Better Public
Decision Making
Every now and then we hear a broken-hearted story about the failure of town hall meetings. Last week, we saw it in a Boston Globe column: "In their current form, open town meetings aren't as democratic as they seem."
This sentiment is not unique to New England, where the format has existed since the 17th century. Most recently, we heard from public officials in California who see the shortcomings of their state's public meetings. Sixty four percent say these meetings attract complainers and "professional citizens" and almost a third say they only participate because they have to. Furthermore, they see the public as either too absorbed in the day-to-day, mistrustful of the decision-making process, or lacking in information.
But here's the silver lining: A majority of local officials are confident in their ability to improve the process. Many even feel they could implement a more deliberative public engagement approach which would be more inclusive of populations often missing from the conversation.
We hear of deliberative styles of public meetings happening across the country, and they can end up producing a new and diverse base of engaged citizens. Hosting these sorts of gatherings develops a culture which recognizes that working collectively to address issues - in contrast to a top down approach - can create an environment conducive to real progress.
A community leader once described how his community members (many of whom are immigrants, minorities and/or poor) feel after they've experience better public engagement. "Once the light goes on about civic engagement - once you understand what your power is - it never goes out, and that is what we're counting on."

Engaging Ideas
Are You Competent? Prove It.
A piece in the New York Times explores the sometimes confusing concept of competency-based education, an issue that our public engagement team is deeply involved in.
The Myth of the Visionary Leader
Researchers are finding that some of the character traits that tend to convince us someone deserves power has little to do with how effective that person will be as leader of a city, company, or nation.

Text Features-Let's Make Some Inferences
Lesson 12 of 16
Objective: SWBAT identify and use the text features in a chapter to make inferences about key ideas in the text.
- Any informational text with a variety of text features. I used our Houghton Mifflin Social Studies book-pages 320-325. Read the text with the students before teaching this lesson and discuss the vocabulary and concepts. This is a follow up lesson that should happen the next day to help students use the schema reexamine the text features.
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall:informational text, heading, diagram, bold words, caption, picture, map, (any other text features that your text has)
- Set up the whiteboard
- 'Use Those Text Features' worksheet** (see below)
- 'Inference Starters' poster (I used this throughout my inferencing unit)
- Informational Text Feature Headers** (see below)
**I tweaked this lesson the second time that I taught it for 2 reasons. There was too much writing on the original worksheet, so I took out some of that. I also cut apart several copies of the 'headers' and passed a few cards to each student so they could look for specific text features. They really enjoyed that.
The reason that I've featured this lesson is that 2nd grade students typically need the chance to practice using text features with familiar text. The first time they read a text (Social studies book, science text), they read for information, but typically do not garner what they can from the text features. I want them to look through the text again, focusing on these text features to go beyond the literal meaning and make inferences about ideas that the author presents.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
Common starting point
- "We are going to look over the chapter today that we read yesterday. There were lots of great text features that carry TONS of meaning."
- "I have put up a list of text features on the board. Let's go through those quickly to see if you remember what they are."
- Go through the word cards on the board and identify each text feature (bold words are the dark words, a caption tells what the picture is about...)
Take time to go through these features as quickly or slowly as your students need. I have taught multiple lessons about these features, so my students are very familiar with them. If you have not taught many lessons, then take a few moments to go through each one. The ability to know and use various text features to locate facts and information allows kids to better comprehend the text. (RI.2.5) It's worth the time to continually emphasize what the features are and model how the add meaning to the text. Too often, 2nd graders gloss over the diagrams, charts, and tables and focus on the text only. Taking time to model your thoughts ("that chart really helps me to see the kinds of democracy") allows the kids to see what they should be getting from these features.

Teacher's Turn
Give the purpose of the lesson
- "Today we are going to look over our chapter again to see what information the text features show and inferences that we can make about these."
- "Once we have chosen a text feature, we'll list what it means and then make an inference about why the author included it. Authors use these text features to give us more information and we need to take the time to look at them."
Introduce strategy - teacher models
- "As I look at page 120, I notice there is a bold word that says 'democracy'."
- Here's the page with the word 'democracy'.
- "That is a very common text feature. I'll write that word in the first column and think about what the bold word tells me."
- "I know that it shows that it is an 'important word' so I'll write that on the 2nd column."
- "Now I'll make an inference. Why did the author include this bold word? I think he wanted me to know that 'democracy is an important word that might be on the test'. I'll write that in the 3rd column."
Practice strategy - guided practice
- "Let's try one together. I see a great diagram on page 321 so I'll write 'diagram' in the first column. Tell me again what a diagram is." Take ideas - 'it shows how ideas relate to each other'. "I'll write that in the 2nd column.
- "Why would the author include this diagram?" Take ideas. "Yes he wanted to show how 'democracy can happen in different places'. Write that in the 3rd column."
- Here's what our discussion about the diagram sounded like.
- "Did anyone notice the colors of the print? Why are the top words red and bottom words blue? Take ideas - the red words are places and the blue words are examples."
- "So we have bold words and diagram as great text features that add more meaning to the text." Here's how I reviewed the use of bold word and diagrams.
- This was the completed whiteboard (tweaked with less writing).
The diagram in this text is a perfect opportunity to show the kids how specific images (diagrams, charts, etc) clarify and add meaning to the text. (RI.2.7) The Common Core Standards emphasize the use of these text features because they want students to realize the meaning that they add to the text. Through modeling and guided practice, encourage your students to take the time to look over the diagram or chart and analyze and infer, "What is it showing me? What meaning can I bring from this text feature?". This will seem very unnatural at first, pausing and talking out loud about each feature, but ultimately you're trying to make the kids more introspective and develop a habit of stopping at each text feature to analyze the meaning and add that to the text. This component of the inferences that I'm asking students to make about the text features really captures the "craft and structure" element of the standard - that the author is making strategic choices to convey information through different text features (RI.2.5).

Students Take a Turn
Assign Task
- Let students identify more text features and describe what they are for and make inferences about them.
- Pass out the worksheet - "Now you'll finish the worksheet by describing the other text features in the chapter and what inferences you can make about their meaning."
Students Work Independently
- Students fill out the organizer by choosing from the text features in the book. They may need some prompting, but because you've read the information previously, they are building on the knowledge they gained when they read the text the first time. Make comments about this - "The map really helps us see where they parts of government are. How does the diagram help you understand democracy better?"
- Here's an example of one of my student's completed worksheets.
- I did provide some spelling help on the whiteboard, as needed.
- Help as needed. This is a video of how I helped a student identify the heading.
- If you find that students struggle to find a feature, take a moment an prompt them to identify a feature.
- I did remind students that they had to use all of the text features to complete the worksheet.
Resources (6)
Share What You've Learned
Share what you know
- I used the strategy of 'turn and share' with the kids so they could tell a friend what they have learned.
- "Now take 5 minutes to turn to your partner and share your ideas. Tell them which text feature really gave you a lot of information and perhaps which text feature didn't really help you."
- "When we're done, I'll call on individual students to share their ideas."
I find that this 'turn and share' technique works well to give all of the kids the opportunity to tell what they have learned. You do have to set expectations for this technique the first few times you use it. I give the kids clear time lines - this is how much time you have - this is when you should switch. I also let them know that I'll be walking around listening to the ideas so they need to stay on topic. The kids are all expected to share equally and they know that I'll randomly call on a group to tell what one partner shared to the other partner. Setting up these expectations early in the year and giving the kids practice makes this activity rewarding, fun and reflective for the kids.
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson could be easily scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
This lesson is great for kids with learning challenges because you step away from the wordiness of the text and focus on more illustrations and visual organization. That being said, asking them to explain in words what they infer can be more difficult. I would pair them up with a partner or work with them in a group. Allow them to share verbally and then help them write their ideas. Kids with learning challenges REALLY need to use the text features because the wording is often limited but the visuals offer lots of great information.
Challenge those with greater ability to dig deep and get deeper inferences. Instead of just saying that 'the diagram shows the parts of government', ask them to use more vocabulary and deeper descriptions, such as 'the branches of government and their organization are shown in the diagram.

If you're reading this, you've likely already seen the breaking news about the multi-vendor, open-source SDN initiative dubbed "OpenDaylight Project." As a founding member, Brocade committed early to this project and it's great to see the news out in the open now.
When briefing industry analysts last week, one analyst posed this question: Why was OpenDaylight initiated by a multi-vendor effort instead of being driven by customers with a collective interest, as was the way with Open Networking Foundation? It was a perfect question to expose the very essence of what is needed for Software-Defined Networking to progress.
The concept of SDN does not discriminate between the types of network infrastructure being programmed and managed. SDN elevates the discussion beyond a product type – say, switches – and extends to routers, storage networking, security, load balancing and application delivery. SDN also elevates beyond hardware networking, to include software networking as well.
In order to enable entire networks to be programmable, it became apparent that the first move had to come from the vendors themselves. They had to first agree to a collective, open concept in order for the industry to move forward and innovation to thrive. As such, OpenDaylight is the most ambitious example of openness the networking industry has seen in ages.
To be clear, OpenDaylight is not about creating standards; it's about creating code and reference designs that can be leveraged in a multi-vendor infrastructure environment. The OpenDaylight code base will change rapidly: Counting just the developers already committed by vendors (and not adding in the come-one-come-all developers a project like this attracts), the OpenDaylight code base will have been advanced by 100 man-years just in the next 365 days. That's phenomenal inertia for customers to leverage, and it will all be available in the battle-tested open-source licensing model of Eclipse.
This is truly a new era in networking. Vendors are agreeing to an abstracted controller as a level playing field and agreeing to advance its capabilities. This shifts the vendors' focus of strategic advantage away from traditional speeds and feeds and toward the ability to support rich, value-adding network applications.
As with all new eras, they have to start somewhere. OpenDaylight does that with aplomb. As customers seek to differentiate their business differentiation through network capabilities, this is going to be one fascinating ride.

Now only six months away, excitement is ramping up for the London 2012 Olympics. Yet aside from putting on enjoyable Games, the spectacle, the sporting glory and the number of gold medals team Great Britain can win, London must contend with the legacy the Olympics leaves behind. This cannot be measured purely by cost alone but by the benefits or problems for the city the Games leave in their wake.
The finest Olympics revitalize rundown districts, inspire young people into sport and leave a city with fantastic sites and a healthy profit; Barcelona is a good example of this. The worst leave nations crippled by debt and half-dead venues – look no further than Athens.
The Olympic legacy London hoped for when it won the bid in 2005 was to inspire a new generation of sportsmen and women and to regenerate a rundown area of East London, without the facilities being a drain on public finances. Prime Minister David Cameron told a recent press conference he expected the Games to generate at least $1 billion for British businesses.
So far six out of the eight Olympic venues have secured their future, but the prospects for the centerpiece of the 2012 games - the Olympic Stadium, which cost an estimated $760 million to build - remain uncertain. This is also true for the Olympics Press and Broadcast Centre.
Whether the games will boost young people's participation in sport is less clear. The Chairman of the British Olympics Association, Colin Moynihan, recently told the Observer newspaper that since the UK won the 2012 bid politicians have failed to honor pledges to drive through a national sporting revolution and unless there was a last minute change in policy, the games would spur little improvement. As for the cost, it is looking increasingly likely that London will breach its $14.3 (£9.3) billion budget because of rising transport and security costs.
It is too late now for London to learn from the experiences of previous host cities, but the lessons are clear to see. Click ahead to see some examples of winter and summer Olympic booms and busts.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Fusion-io Inc. fio shares plunged by more than 22% in after-hours trading Wednesday after the memory-technology company forecast fiscal third-quarter sales far below Wall Street analysts' forecasts. Fusion said it expects to report revenue of $80 million, while analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast sales of $137.1 million. The forecast outweighed any upbeat sentiment over Fusion's second-quarter report in which the company earned $1.7 million, or 2 cents a share, on revenue of $120.6 million. During the year-ago quarter, Fusion lost $5.7 million, or 7 cents a share, on $118.1 million in sales. Excluding one-time items, the company would have earned 13 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast Fusion-io to earn 8 cents a share on $119.9 million in revenue.

After officially introducing us to its Toq smartwatch over two months ago, Qualcomm today revealed when we'll actually be able to buy the thing. The Qualcomm Toq will officially go on sale on Monday, Dec. 2, complete with a price tag of $349.99. The watch is compatible with devices running Android 4.0.3 or higher and packs Qualcomm's Mirasol display technology, which the company claims makes the Toq readable in direct sunlight and helps to provide "multiple days of battery life." Also included is support for Qualcomm WiPower LE wireless charging tech.
On the software side of things, the Qualcomm Toq can display a user's text messages and various notifications, and it also allows the wearer to accept or reject phone calls. There are stock and weather apps from E-Trade and Accuweather included as well. Qualcomm says that it plans to add more features to the Toq through future software updates, but it didn't offer up any hints as to what those new features may be.
The smartwatch market is growing quickly, with companies like Apple, Google, HTC, Samsung and more all either selling smartwatch hardware right now or reportedly prepping some for launch. The Toq isn't likely to take over the smartwatch game because Qualcomm itself has said that it's a "limited edition" that's meant to be a demonstration of what its technology can do for smartwatches in general, but the Toq is still a nice-looking piece of hardware that could be worth a look for anyone with a real interest in the smartwatch category.

Should I Stay Local or Travel for the Best Treatment?
Seeking local treatment might seem like the best rehab option, surrounded by familiar places and close to friends and family. While this may be the most convenient route to take, there are also some significant drawbacks to be aware of. Making a "clean break" from drugs and alcohol, separating from the environments and people most associated with the addiction, often leads to the best results. The chances of relapse are diminished when you are away from home, since you are limiting your access to the substances you are trying to quit. Many rehabs are located in incredible settings, from oceanfront and lakeside facilities to picturesque desert retreats - perfect for creating the right atmosphere for feeling peaceful, keeping positive and staying healthy during, and after, your stay. So make sure you consider all your options when deciding the best place to make a fresh start.
How Much Does Addiction Treatment Cost?
Treatment prices depend on the treatment phases involved and the level of service and extras provided. The range runs from free and low-cost options that are generally state or federally funded, all the way up to very expensive treatment at facilities that give 5 star resorts a run for their money. In terms of free options, consider hosting an intervention with friends and family, along with visiting www.SAMHSA.gov which has a treatment center locator and provides listings to government-funded and very low cost alternatives.
Is Insurance Accepted?
In many cases YES. Although not every detox or rehabilitation facility will accept insurance, many do. Most of the facilities that we refer people to do accept private insurance, so give us a call today to verify what coverage you may have and we will do everything possible to help make that work for you!
How Long Does Effective Treatment Take?
Studies indicate that the success rate for recovery rises dramatically with the length of treatment. That is, the longer an individual spent in a facility treating their drug or alcohol dependencies, the less likely they were to relapse. Detox and rehab can be done in as few as 21 to 30 days, though the probability of remaining alcohol and drug-free rises dramatically as the individual passes 90 days of treatment.
If you're seeking addiction treatment for yourself or a loved one, our ProjectKnow.com help line is a private and convenient solution. Caring advisors are available 24/7 to discuss treatment options with you.
Calls to any general help line (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) found on this site will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC) or by one of our paid treatment center sponsors.
You can connect with non-sponsor facilities by browsing our listings and calling them directly.

Did you know you can get college credit for your military experience? The American Council on Education (ACE) collaborates with DoD to review military training and experience and recommend appropriate college credit for members of the Armed Forces. ACE provides quality assurance and policy guidance for the Joint Services Transcript (JST) used by the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard.
JST is an academically accepted document to validate a service member's military occupational experience and training along with the corresponding ACE college credit recommendations. It is up to each institution to decide what ACE credit recommendations can be accepted, modified, or rejected. Whether an academic institution accepts the credit recommendations depends on its policies and procedures for transfer credit, your program of study, and your degree requirements.
All enlisted, officers and warrant officers, both active and veterans from all Army components, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy can get their JST by visiting the JST website. Air Force personnel should contact CCAF to receive transcripts.
More than 2,300 colleges and universities recognize these transcripts as official documentation of military training and experiences and applicable ACE credit recommendations.
One Last Money-Saving Tip
Have all of your official transcripts from previous colleges and service branches sent to your new school for evaluation, before you start taking any classes. Many students waste valuable time and money taking classes that are unnecessary duplications of previous courses, because they signed up before their military and prior college transcripts were completely evaluated.

BAGHDAD (AP) — More than 800 people were killed in Iraq in violence throughout August, the UN said Sunday. That was down somewhat from July, but still one of the highest monthly tolls in recent years.
Violence in Iraq has spiked following a deadly crackdown by the Shiite-led government on a Sunni protest camp in northern Iraq in April.
Attacks including waves of multiple coordinated car bombings, mostly blamed on al-Qaida's local branch, target the military, police and Shiite civilians. The scale of the bloodshed is intensifying fears Iraq is heading back toward the widespread Sunni-Shiite sectarian killing that peaked in 2006 and 2007. Security forces have tried to ratchet up counterinsurgency operations in response, but do not appear to have made a major dent in the pace of attacks.
The UN mission in Iraq said it recorded 804 people killed in August, including members of Iraq's security forces but not insurgents. The capital Baghdad was the part of the country worst affected, with 317 killed. The U.N. figure was lower than its July death toll, which stood at 1,057.
The report says a total of about 5,000 people were killed since the start of 2013.
The UN said that 716 of those killed in August were civilians and 88 were Iraqi security forces.
Attacks continued Sunday, leaving six dead.
A roadside bomb went off near an outdoor market, killing three people including a woman and wounding four others in the Shiite town of Dujail, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Baghdad, police said.
Also, a car bomb exploded in a residential area in the in the ethnically mixed town of Tuz Khormato, killing three people and wounding 16, said the town's police chief, Col. Hussein Ali Rasheed.
Tuz Khormato, a frequent flashpoint for violence, sits in a band of territory contested by Arabs, Kurds and Turkomen about 200 kilometers (130 miles) north of Baghdad.
Medics in nearby hospitals confirmed the casualty figures for both attacks. The officials other than Col. Rasheed spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The M.A. in history requires 30 semester hours of graduate coursework (including 24 hours completed at SU) and solid proficiency in fields of expertise as demonstrated through qualifying oral and written examinations. Before enrolling in courses, all admitted graduate students are expected to meet with the graduate director, who will review the program requirements and help them select areas of concentration for their study. Students also have the option of completing a thesis for course credit, which is particularly encouraged for those planning to apply to Ph.D. programs.
The Graduate Program in History offers four basic areas of concentration of which at least two (one major and minor) will serve as the foundation of each student's coursework and study. These areas are: the history of the Chesapeake Bay region, Colonial and Revolutionary American history, United States history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and world history. Within these four basic fields students will of course specialize, depending upon their particular research interests and course completions.
Graduate research seminars taken at the 600 level form the core of the Graduate Program and will constitute the preponderance of each student's curriculum. Offered in the evening, at least two are scheduled every semester on different topics. In addition, 500-level "swing" courses are available for graduate students, provided that credit has not already been received for their 400-level equivalents as part of a student's undergraduate degree.
Independent study (Hist 629) and thesis reading and research courses (Hist 630 and 631) enable students to tailor their graduate program to suit individual interests and career goals. Our graduate faculty represent a vast array of fields of specialization and share their expertise as mentors to students wishing to explore topics in depth. Students interested in undertaking thesis research should contact potential faculty mentors (at least one supervisor and second reader) about their proposed topic before completing 15 credits of graduate coursework.
The MA in History at Salisbury University requires the following:

my dog is strange...
I have a 10 month old lab Chesapeake bay retriever x. She is a good dog. Very obedient.... to me... Originally my husband got her as "HIS" dog because I had my chihuahuas which were not manly dogs. I agreed to getting this puppy since I was on maternity leave and would be home all day to deal with the training and the so fourth. No big deal dog picked everything up amazingly fast. He would take her for walks when he got home from work and play with her and stuff like that... I did all the obedience classes with the dog ad generally was with the dog 24/7. Well in the past few months the dog has become very loyal i guess you could say to me. She will sleep in the bedroom on the floor beside my side of the bed and will not move until i get out of bed. My husband could call her for like 30 min to go outside and pee and she will stay but as soon as i get out of bed she will come down with me and then go outside. If i am sitting on the couch or the lazy boy she is laying at my feet and will not move to go to bed or anything until I tell her to go to bed or go outside. Or even if I am in the bedrooms putting away laundry she will follow me from room to room and lay down on the floor until I am done in that room. She doesn't have a problem being left alone when we do go out and when we come home she is calm. No jumping or anything like that. Is their anything I can do to get her to listen to my husband? She will walk nice for him and when i am not around she listens to everythign he says. But as soon as i get home she is "my dog"
You fed her, walked her, played with her trained her. YOU are her world. If hubby wanted the pup to be all his he should have been doing all the work.
The more I get to know people, the more I love my dog...
There ain't no cure for stupid ...... but we should make sure we laugh and point it out to everyone else
He does work 12 hour some times 16 hour shift work so in his defense he does play and walk with the dogs and the kids when he is off. It is just strange becuse my Chi's never really seemed to care. I did all the obedience training with then walk them play with the the same and they don't care as long as your willing to pay attention to them or if you have a blanket they can snuggle up under they love you.
Chessies are very much one-person/one-family characters. If you want her to respond to him, he should take up more of the training. The give and take of training will facilitate the bond much more than just playing will
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
He does work with her in the training aspect and she will listen to him no problem if I am not home. But for example today. We were getting ready to go out and i was getting the kids ready and Bella was sitting at my side watching me and he said Bella outside which is the command we use for her to go outside and potty. He was standing their with the door wide open and She looked at me for like permission to go outside. So i said Ok outside and she went outside. When she was doing the training at the classes they only wanted one person working with the dogs at the classes. Because he works shift work he would come on his days off but would not be allowed to handle her in the classes. I don't know if this is common but they wanted the same person every class. Anyways I just find it strange because my other dogs really don't seem to be as loyal to one person. I guess it is just part of the breed. anyways I love them all and I guess I feel kind of special that we have that bond.
I don't think your dog is that strange, she's just bonded to you. My rottie/lab mix is like that with me, if my boyfriend gives her a command, she looks at me, almost as if to ask "is it ok, Mom?" and sometimes I had to say "it's OK" for her to follow his command.
The way we remedied the problem was for me to kind of ignore her (super hard when she is so CUTE) and have my boyfriend do all the commands, feeding, walking, playtime, etc. Then she learned to trust him the more time they spent together.
Maybe that will work for your situation? I realize he works long days but for the time he is home, maybe it will slowly teach her to befriend him?
No doubt she just sees you more as her leader since you spent so much time with her. It's understandable.
There are only two rules at my house: House rule #1. Cats rule. House rule #2. See rule #1.
Why not find a class that he can take her to? Maybe one that has them at different times of the day or week? Then he would be the one she has to listen to. They have classes for more than obedience. Maybe an agility or advanced obedience.
It's completely normal for her to be more bonded with you seeing as she is with you more.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Well we were thinking of agility classes with her in the fall once all the summer travels and stuff are done with. I don't think I have posted a picture of my Bella yet. I can't believe it has been almost a year since we got her....
Here she is as a puppy. 8 weeks 2 days...
Here she is almost grown up.
Gorgeous pup!! Looks like my Sammy in her younger years.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Thank you! I think she is a pretty special pup!
Oh, she is a beauty!

The Eagles will place Ellis Hobbs on injured reserve and end his season, the cornerback's agent, Kevin Omell confirmed Monday afternoon.
Hobbs damaged a disk in his neck/back area, according to Eagles coach Andy Reid, when he took a helmet-to-helmet hit in the win over the Giants on Sunday night. Reid did not give a long-term prognosis for Hobbs, but his season is over, Omell said.
"He's doing fine," Omell said. "He's walking around. He's just going to take the next few days to rest and figure out what his future may be."
Omell said that there has been no decision made as to whether Hobbs would need surgery. The cornerback, who injured his neck during a kick return, had surgery to repair a herniated disk last season.
Hobbs lost his starting cornerback spot to Dimitri Patterson after his rough outing against Tennessee and after it was determined that he was playing with a hip flexor strain.
With Hobbs headed to IR, the Eagles will likely need to add another cornerback to their 53-man roster. Jamar Wall, a rookie, is on their practice sqaud. Rookie Trevard Lindley is on the 53-man roster, but he hasn't been active for most of the season. With Hobbs done, he will likely see more time on game days.
Andy Reid acknowledge that Asante Samuel's helmet hit Derek Hagan's on a hit in the second quarter, but the coach wasn't sure what else his player could have done to avoid the 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty.
"He came in and he tried to lead with his shoulder, and because of the angle, they might have clicked, but truly, his intent was shoulder," Reid said.
"I'm not sure exactly what you do there," Reid said, noting that Samuel came in sideways on the play. "He came in and he led with a shoulder. I guess you hit him down lower and you blow his knees out."
He added, "I'm not sure there's a way around that."
Samuel had tried to hit lower earlier in the year, and ended up with a concussion, Reid said.
Samuel was flagged as part of the NFL's effort to force defenders to avoid head shots, but despite the crackdown there, other helmet-to-helmet hits remain legal and caused another frightening moment Sunday night.
Ellis Hobbs, back this year from a herniated disk that required surgery last year, was stretchered off the field and an MRI revealed an injury to a separate disc, Reid said. He did not provide specifics of the injury, but expressed sadness for Hobbs.
"He is a tough, tough, tough guy," Reid said. "That was hard to watch yesterday."
The Eagles have now seen three incidents that left players lying motionless on the field in their past three home games: DeSean Jackson and Dunta Robinson were hurt in the Falcons game, the Colts' Austin Collie was injured and Hobbs was hurt last night.
Reid was at a loss to explain the rise in scary hits.
"I'm not standing there saying these guys are flagrantly trying to knock each other out," Reid said.
Other notes from the coach's day after news conference:
-- Samuel has an MCL sprain, but Reid said he expects the cornerback to be OK.
-- Juqua Parker's hip flexor is sore. Reid did not give an exact prognosis on him.
-- Reid praised LeSean McCoy and Jason Avant for bouncing back from a slow start (McCoy) and bad drop (Avant).
-- He said the team has a young energy that keeps players positive even when things go badly. "If the offense isn't doing well, the defense picks 'em up on the sideline and in their play."

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Many Westchester commuters had a slow go of it as rain continued to fall Thursday morning.
There were no road closures reported as a result of flooding and only one report of roadway flooding -- on northbound I-684 between the Saw Mill Parkway (Exit 5) and Route 22/138 (Exit 6a) at 8:10 a.m., which resulted in delays.
An accident was reported further north on I-84 East between Route 311 (Exit 18) and the entrance to I-684 (Exit 20). The accident, reported at 8 a.m., has moved to the shoulder.
