Finding the Perimeter of Odd-Shaped Dog Pens
Lesson 18 of 19
Objective: SWBAT find the perimeter of odd-shaped dog pens.
Big Idea: Students will discover how to use known side dimensions to determine unknown side dimensions when finding the perimeter of odd-shaped dog pens.
Teacher Demonstration
Unit Explanation
During the first section of this unit, students will construct a house plan, find the area of the house plan, and calculate flooring costs. While finding the area is the focus of this unit, the first few lessons (where students explore the meaning of a polygon, construct house plans, and decompose rectangles into smaller rectangles to find the area) lay the foundation for finding the area of their home plans later on. This also provides students with a meaningful and purposeful context to find the area.
During the second section of this unit, students will investigate dog pen designs and will primarily focus on finding the perimeter, or amount of fencing needed for different dog pens. Students will also explore odd-shaped polygons by finding the area and perimeter of odd-shaped dog pens.
Goal & Lesson Introduction
I started with our two-day goal: I can find the perimeter and area of odd-shaped dog pens. I explain: Today, you will focus on finding the perimeter of odd-shaped dog pens and tomorrow, you'll focus on finding the area!
I continue: Do dog pens always have to be rectangular? Why might I build a dog pen that isn't a perfect rectangle? Turn and talk! We then discuss their thinking as a class. Some students suggest that I might have to work around a tree, garden, swimming pool, or other obstacles in the backyard.
I invite students to move closer to the board with their white boards, markers, math journals, and a pencil. I want to make sure I have the attention of all students! Prior to the lesson, I drew the Goal & Chart as well as the Teacher Model A dog pen (Modeling on White Board). Without my asking, students began writing the goal at the top of a new page in their math journals. I celebrate these students: I just love how _____ is writing the goal at the top of his paper! Soon, all students are completing this task.
I also ask students to recreate the chart in their journals as we will be using it later on.
Horizontal & Vertical Lines
We discuss the difference between horizontal and vertical lines. I first show the Horizontal Vocabulary Poster and we act out a horizontal hammock together (we acted out a horizontal hammock with a straight arm rocking back and forth). Then, I show the Vertical Vocabulary Poster. Again, we acted a vertical vine out together (we acted out an up and down vine with one arm). Turn and talk: What's the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? Students act out each vocabulary word as they explain the difference. I am filled with a feeling of pride that my students listened so well!
Looking for Patterns
I explain: Today, we are going to be looking at this odd-shaped dog pen together. I point to Teacher Model A, drawn on the board. I purposefully made the horizontal lines blue and vertical lines green to match our vocabulary posters. I also used very simple numbers as I want students to focus on the patterns and process of finding unknown numbers instead of being challenged with the calculation of larger numbers.
I ask: Does anyone see a pattern? One student suggests: It goes 1...2....3...4....skips 5... then 6. Another student points out: 1 + 2 = 4, 1+ 3 = 4, 2 + 4 = 6. And another student says: All the horizontal lines are blue. And all the vertical lines are green.
I wrote "Patterns" up on the board and began listing some of their thoughts: Patterns.
To push their thinking further, I ask: Does anyone see a relationship between the green lines? Turn and talk! After a few minutes, we come back together and finally, one student points out the pattern I've been hoping they would notice: The two smaller horizontal lines equal the bottom line... 1 + 3 = 4.
Then another student excitedly says: And the two smaller vertical lines equal the bigger vertical line.... 2 + 4 = 6.
It was at this point that I asked students to turn and talk: Can you explain the patterns that (student's name) and (student's name) pointed out? I do this for several reasons. 1. I want to make sure students understand. 2. I want students to practice communicating mathematical reasoning. 3. I want any struggling students to hear the pattern a second time.
Finding Unknown Sides
I then erase the side measurements and create Teacher Model B. I purposefully make this model one step harder. I want to build a clear and understandable learning progression. I label the unknown sides with variables (letters that represent unknown numbers). I then review the Meaning of Variable on the board.
Next, I ask students to use their whiteboards to show me how they found the missing sides. While we discuss student solutions as a class, I write an Algebraic Equation to show students another way of showing their thinking. Students quickly caught on and were excited for the next "challenge!"
Resources (9)
Guided Practice
To provide students with guided practice, I change the dimensions of the sides and monitor students as they "solve for x and y." Sometimes I use different variables and ask for student input: Who would like to help me come up with the next variable? Of course, students offered the first letter of their names!
Teacher Model C
Teacher Model D
Next, I explain: For each of these odd-shaped dog pens, we have had to add to get lengths of the missing sides. Sometimes you'll need to subtract as well. I create Teacher Model D. As students calculate the missing dimensions, I conference with and support students during this time. Again, we discuss student solutions solutions as a class and move on to the last couple of challenges!
Teacher Models E & F
Following the same process as above, students solve and discuss Teacher Model E and Teacher Model F. Here, you'll see how I model the student's thinking on the white board: Teaching Model E on White Board and Teaching Model F on White Board.
At this point, students are ready and excited to apply the patterns they discovered while finding unknown side lengths!
Resources (6)
Student Practice
Prior the lesson, I made copies of Odd Shaped Dog Pens and cut them into half-sheets. I place these in order on the white board tray.
- I purposefully created Dog Pen A and Dog Pen B with grid lines.
- Dog Pen C and Dog Pen D a bit more challenging with no grid lines. However, I still had rectangles inside the figures.
- Finally, Dog Pen E and Dog Pen F were the most challenging: no grid lines and no rectangles!
By starting off with a simpler task, students were able to develop the skills necessary to complete the more challenging tasks.
Choosing Partners
I assign partners to students, taking into consideration ability levels, communication skills, and behavior.
Continued Practice
I explain: I've come up with several odd-shaped dog pen arrangements for Jedi and Jozie, but I want to know which one will take the least amount of fencing. Pointing to the last model on the board, I continue: If I want to build a fence around this odd-shaped dog pen, would I find the area or the perimeter? Students agree... in order to find the amount of fencing, we will find the perimeter because the perimeter is the distance around the outside.
I model how to fill in Chart using the most recent teacher model on the board. Equation: 24 + 8 + 16 (Vertical Sides) + 16 + 4 + 12 (Horizontal Sides)
Students jump right in. They solve the first odd-shaped dog pen, fill in their charts, and return to the board to get the next odd-shaped dog pen! Here are examples of student charts: Student Journal and Student Journal 2 during this time.
Monitoring Student Understanding
Once students begin working, I conference with as many students as possible. My goal is to support students by asking guiding questions (listed below). I also want to encourage students to construct viable arguments by using evidence to support their thinking (Math Practice 3).
- What did you do first?
- Can you explain why you _____?
- What did you just learn?
- How did you find the missing dimensions?
- Will this strategy always work?
Student Conferences
In this video, Finding Unknown Dimensions, you'll see a student using known dimensions to find unknown measurements. Other students did a great job Adding Vertical, Then Horizontal.
At the end, students discover which odd-shaped figure will take the least amount of fencing: Least Amount of Fencing.

Be sure to format a blank memory card via the phone before use.
Check overall memory--> Filemanager>more>memory status
During Call:
Hold C -->mute/unmute
If you run out of SMS memory --> Remove your sent messages, without needing to delete inbox messages.
Hold + Or - in input text screens --> Highlight text
Creating contact pictures --> Zoom in on the face and save as large. Did not try saving as small or other size, so dont know how it will appear.
Quick Bluetooth --> Assign one of the Navigation key shortcuts to bluetooth "Turn on". This way, whenever you press up for example, bluetooth turns on/off.
Quick Add Number --> Type in number then goto "Other" > Save nr. > New contact.
USB Charger takes longer than Wall Charger. The USB charger also doesn't fully charge the phone.
Find out firmware --> Access service menu (see above) then goto service info>software info and it should be on the top line.
Text Files:
Handling .txt files:
* txt files are saved in web pages\save_pages folder.
* You can create .txt files with a windows Notepad or any word processing file and then send the file via USB to the folder mentioned above.
* I've noticed that if a Nokia sends me a txt file, when its opened the first letter of the message appears only. It appears that the text message body is saved in the filename, therefore, a long filename will not appear. Thus to view the message, after it has been save in the saved pages folder, view it's information, and the message will be seen in full. I have experienced this with one user, I'm not sure if the user deliberately types the message in the filename field or if thats how nokia works.
* Another way of creating text files is by using word and savnig them as a web page(htm). This is useful if you are using foreign characters, as they will sometimes not appear if saved as .txt.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
An arrest has been made in the shooting death of Marcus "Big Country" Senegal, who was killed
Police have arrested 20-year-old Keenan Novon Anderson of Port Arthur on a murder charge for the shooting death of Marcus "Big Country" Senegal, who was killed March 30 near the Old School Shack Lounge in Port Arthur. After searching for Anderson since March for a parole violation, police issued a murder warrant for Anderson, which was the result of a sealed indictment handed down by a grand jury on June 20.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

In the classic holiday movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," we are shown what a community would have been like without the presence and contributions of one man. In real life, it is difficult to imagine Hood College without the generosity of The Hodson Trust and the people whose vision and leadership have built the Trust into one of the nation's premier philanthropic organizations.
Thomas S. Hodson (1837-1920) was a teacher, minister, lawyer, newspaper publisher, and politician. In 1883, he was elected to the Maryland State Senate. A widely respected businessman and strong advocate of education, he settled The Hodson Trust in 1920.
Col. Clarence Hodson (1868-1928) was a director of more than 40 banks, trust and mortgage companies, insurance companies, and public utilities during his 40-year business career. In 1914, he founded the Beneficial Loan Society, which grew from one office to 200 offices across the United States. His ideas and continued business accomplishments read as a case study for business and modeling.
Lillian Brown Hodson (1868-1963), the wife of Col. Hodson, shared her husband's interest in education and was particularly interested in the welfare of Hood. She served on the Hood College Board of Trustees and her gifts, in addition to those from The Hodson Trust, made possible the construction of the original Hodson Science Center in 1957.
Finn M. W. Caspersen H.D.L. '83, chairman of The Hodson Trust since 1976 and a national leader in the field of education, has continued to honor Col. Hodson's interest in higher education. In 1983, Hood honored Caspersen with an honorary doctor of laws degree, and what was said then still rings true today: "You have discovered that a company is only as alive as the people it employs, that the vitality of the economy rests with the vision of its leaders, and that tomorrow's future rests with those being educated today."
He is the second-generation member of the Caspersen family to serve on the Board of Trustees of The Hodson Trust, following in the tradition of his father, Olaus W. Caspersen, chairman of the Trust from 1928 to 1971. In 2000, Finn M. W. Caspersen Jr., became the third generation to serve on the Board of Trustees of The Hodson Trust.
Each year, The Hodson Trust awards grants to four Maryland colleges: Hood, The Johns Hopkins University, St. John's College, and Washington College. Under the stewardship of Finn Caspersen, the Trust's donations to the four colleges have grown from $12.6 million to more the $118 million over the past 25 years. In addition to student scholarships and internships, the grants are used for professor endowments, research grants, information technology initiatives, athletic programs, large construction projects and endowment funds.
During a luncheon in Baltimore in December, the Trust awarded $2.4 million to Hood for the renovation and construction of the new Hodson Science and Technology Center. The money is part of The Hodson Trust's $13 million pledge toward the $17 million center.
In accepting the gift, President Ronald J. Volpe said, "Our new science and technology center recognizes the increasing importance of science and technology in the Washington, D. C., and Baltimore regions. It will help contribute to the advancement of Hood's students and to the economic progress of the region and the state of Maryland. From the first gift it gave to Hood in 1936, to the very generous gift today, The Hodson Trust continues to play an important role in making Hood College a premier educational institution."
The Hodson name is almost synonymous with Hood College. It is linked to scholarships for students, fellowships for faculty, a lecture series, and an endowed professorship. Some of the named buildings and facilites are: Hodson Outdoor Theater (1938), Hodson Swimming Pool in Gambrill Gymnasium (1949), Hodson Science Center (1957), Hodson Gallery in Tatem Arts Center (1966), Beneficial-Hodson Library and Information Technology Center (1992), and the Hodson Science and Technology Center (2002).
Since 1936, The Hodson Trust has given more than $33 million to Hood.

Please make sure to check out my staff writer post (it is going live this afternoon) at Beating Broke, Don't Take Abuse. Know Your Rights.
I like to observe people in restaurants, movie theaters, malls and gyms. After some careful and, hopefully, not nosy staring at people at my gym, I figured that people go to work out for several reasons:
– some want to lose weight;
– some want to stay healthy and live longer;
– some want to find a date.

Triangle Institute for Security Studies
Furthering the interest of scholars in issues of national security for nearly four decades, the Triangle Institute for Security Studies, T.I.S.S., is a joint effort sponsored by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, and North Carolina State University.
For many years funded by the Ford Foundation, and known as the Triangle Universities Security Seminar (TUSS), the organization sponsors seminars, conferences, and informal meetings of scholars and those interested in a wide range of security issues. The latter questions incorporate, among others, problems in diplomacy, political science, history, the physical sciences, law, philosophy, anthropology, religion, sociology, and communication studies. T.I.S.S. draws its participation from hundreds of scholars and students in these disciplines, as well as former diplomats, military officers, and others concerned with such issues.
T.I.S.S. has greatly facilitated the establishment of a web site for American Diplomacy and continues to afford assistance not only in the technical aspects of the journal, but in its substance. Clearly, however, the T.I.S.S. Executive Committee bears no responsibility for views set forth in its articles or commentaries.

WASHINGTON — Hours after upgrading its view of the economy Tuesday, the Federal Reserve announced that 15 of the 19 largest U.S. banks had passed tough stress tests that showed they'd be able to weather another catastrophic economic slump.
The Fed was expected to release the results Thursday but instead issued the report about a half hour after markets closed up sharply Tuesday. While the market was still open, JPMorgan Chase, the nation's biggest bank, had announced that it was going to pay dividends to investors.
That was a signal it had been told that it had passed the stress test, designed to gauge whether bank holding companies regulated by the Fed had capital buffers large enough to survive a steep economic downturn and 13 percent unemployment.
News that JPMorgan Chase would raise its dividend by a nickel and buy back up to $12 billion of its stock helped lift financial markets. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 217.97 points to close at 13,177.68. The S&P 500 finished up 24.86 points to 1395.95 and the NASDAQ gained 56.22 points to end at 3039.88
Four banks were deemed to lack sufficient capital to meet minimum requirements in a hypothetical deep downturn. Citigroup Inc. and SunTrust Banks Inc. were the two traditional banks that failed to make the grade. The weakest, other two bank holding companies that must raise more capital were MetLife Inc., the nation's largest life insurer, and Ally Financial, formerly known as GMAC.
"Strong capital levels are critical to ensuring that banking organizations have the ability to lend and to continue to meet their financial obligations, even in times of economic difficulty," the Fed said in a statement announcing the test results.
The news followed a statement earlier in the afternoon from the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee, which virtually repeated January's statement but offered a better read on the jobs front.
Financial analysts had hoped for direction from the Fed on whether it would take any more steps to stimulate an economy that's sluggish by historical standards, but they got none. Instead, the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee concluded its meeting with a statement virtually unchanged from its last one, issued Jan. 25.
The Fed repeated that it intended to keep the federal funds rate — which banks charge each other for overnight lending — within the range of zero to 0.25 percent. This means the prime rate — which banks charge their best customers — is expected to remain at 3.25 percent.
The Fed also repeated that it's sticking to a program, announced last September, that extends the maturity of its bond purchases in a bid to hold down long-term lending rates. This is designed to keep mortgage interest rates and rates for car loans low in hopes of spurring home sales and auto purchases.
Where Tuesday's statement differed from January's, however, was in its view of the economy's performance.
"Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January suggests that the economy has been expanding moderately. Labor market conditions have improved further," the statement said, sounding a more optimistic tone than January's "some further improvement in overall labor market conditions."
But as in January, Fed governors warned that the housing sector remains depressed and that rising crude-oil and gasoline prices continue to push up inflation in the short run. They didn't expect energy prices to create inflation over the medium run, however. The Fed repeated that it didn't expect to begin raising interest rates until late 2014 at the earliest, an indicator that a long climb back remains ahead for the U.S. economy.
Tuesday's Fed statement amounted to a wash: It gave no sign that the economy is weak enough to need additional support, nor strong enough to accelerate the withdrawal of support.
"There was a subtle acknowledgement of a little bit better tone to the data," said Josh Feinman, the chief global economist for DB Advisors, the asset management business for Germany's giant Deutsche Bank
The next meeting of the FOMC involves an update to the Fed's economic forecast, so Fed governors are likely to express their views more clearly then in their forecast and statement.
Still, the Fed's acknowledgement of an improving labor market comes days after Friday's monthly jobs report for February from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although the unemployment rate stopped falling and held steady for the first time in six months, employers added 233,000 jobs last month. And the agency revised its January payroll number upward to 285,000 new non-farm jobs.
The positive jobs report was just one of a number of improving data points. Another came Tuesday, when the Commerce Department reported that February retail sales posted their largest gain in five months. Retail sales grew by 1.1 percent for the month. Commerce said, revising January's retail sales numbers upward, too.
"The gain in retail sales in February, the upwards revisions to spending in December and January, and the strength of auto sales reported by manufacturers for February paint a much stronger picture for the consumer than the demand-side data a month ago were suggesting," said a research note from forecaster RDQ Economics in New York.
In an economic move that could spark tit-for-tat actions, President Barack Obama announced Tuesday that the United States, Japan and the European Union had lodged an unfair trade complaint lodged against China. In a statement before the cameras, Obama said China wasn't allowing access to rare earth minerals needed to make advanced batteries such as the kind that power hybrid vehicles.
"Being able to manufacture advanced batteries and hybrid cars in America is too important for us to stand by and do nothing," the president said in a no-questions statement that echoed re-election campaign themes.
China's Ministry of Commerce disputed the U.S.-led complaint, noting it had "emphasized repeatedly that the policy aims to protect resources and the environment, and realize sustainable development," according to a statement carried by the official Chinese news agency Xinhua.

Radio Host Hilariously Trolls Homophobic Listener On Facebook
A homophobic listener got hilariously owned by radio DJ Ryder from Edmonton, Canada's HOT 107.
The listener trolled Ryder's Facebook page after the radio morning show host made comments about the LGBT Pride parade he'd attended that weekend with his co-workers. The listener wrote:
Just heard some CRAP on your show about how gays have better parades and eyebrows????? What the fuck man? If I ever hear you talk about pro homo bullshit again I wont ever listen to your radio station again. I'll be telling your bosses this too.
Apparently Ryder was shaking in his boots because he responded to the homophobe with this gem on Facebook:
Ryder commented after posting the interaction:
Lost a listener this morning. Totally worth it.
Well played, sir!

What do you think about this product - www.cryptoletter.com ?
I plan to use it instead of PGP because of better automation and painless usage, but I'd like to ask some guru's before doing this...
well PGP doesn`t really require you to understand deep cryptography mathematics, just need to understand that you need to send your public key to someone for them to send encrypted email to you. It seems ok from the website, but I would for it to have been in use for a while before jumping to it, PGP is a proven technology that so far has held up pretty well.
If you do use it let me know how you get on.

The HTC M7 and Sense 5 may be getting a lot of attention these days, but let's not forget that Samsung is working on the Galaxy S IV. The majority of the phone's details are still unknown at this point, but new information has been trickling in that suggests Samsung unveil its next flagship phone in March with an expected April launch date.
According to a "telecommunications industry" cited by Korea's Asian Economies, Samsung will host an Unpacked event in the United States on Friday, March 22 to unveil the Samsung Galaxy S IV. SamMobile has also chimed in, claiming that Samsung will start shipping the Galaxy S IV in week 16 of 2013 (that's the week of April 15 for those of you too lazy to pull up your calendar). New details regarding the phone's specifications indicate the Galaxy S IV will ship with a 2,600 mAh battery. An optional dock and back cover with wireless charging capabilities will be available shortly after launch.
Samsung Galaxy S IV rumored specs
- Exynos 5 Octa (8-Core) CPU, Mali-T658 (8-Core) GPU
- 4.99-inch Super AMOLED 1080p display
- 2GB of RAM
- 13 Megapixel main camera
- 2 Megapixel front-facing camera
- 2,600 mAh battery
- Android 4.2.1 (Jelly Bean)
- Option wireless charging back cover/accessories
- Colors: black/white
There's no doubt that Samsung's next flagship device will be a huge success, but we have a feeling things will be a bit tougher this year. Do you think that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be as dominant as its predecessor? Or will Motorola, HTC, LG and Sony push Samsung around as they all try to eat away at Samsung's market share?

Josh Charles has jetted off to Thailand to enjoy a belated honeymoon, four months after marrying novelist Sophia Flack.
The Good Wife hunk was noticeably absent from the star-studded audience at the People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday (08Jan14), when the hit legal show was named Favorite Network TV Drama and Charles was branded Favorite Dramatic TV Actor.
His TV co-star, Julianna Margulies, was left to collect Charles' prize on his behalf and she revealed he had a very good reason for skipping the first big Hollywood awards show of the year (14).
She explained, "Josh Charles has an incredible excuse not to be here - he's on his honeymoon in Thailand, so I'm accepting this on his behalf, but as someone who gets to work with him every day and has known him for 10 years as a dear friend, I'm so grateful to all of you for choosing such a beautiful, nuanced, wonderful actor that I'm lucky enough to have as my leading man. Thank you."
Charles and Flack tied the knot in September (13), but postponed the traditional post-marriage vacation due to filming commitments for The Good Wife.

As soon as Bologna debuted the Ducati 1199 Panigale, the speculation was rife on if/when the Italian brand would bring streetfighter and supersport-class machines to market. We have already seen the Ducati 899 Panigale, which isn't quite race-legal, though packs the superbike's design philosophies into a more affordable package with a smaller engine displacement.
As for the Streetfighter, the debut of the Ducati Monster 1200 seems to confirm suspicions that Ducati has no plans to continue with a performance-based street naked. With the demise of the Streetfighter 1098, one can only wonder how much longer the Streetfighter 848 will remain in Ducati's lineup. Surely when the smaller displacements of the Monster line move to water-cooled engine, the we will see the removal of the 848, much to our chagrin.
This still leaves us with some "what if's" though, as some believe the monocoque "frameless" chassis design of the Panigale makes a streetfighter variant all but impossible. We would have to say that when the fairingless photos of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera that came out this year, our eyes searched for ways to tailor the Panigale's naked body into some sort of Streetfighter, though it looks like some Germans have gone a step further.

By Alissa de Carbonnel
SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Canadian short track star Charles Hamelin endured 11 hours of pain for a back tattoo that embodies his mindset going into the 2014 Sochi Games. It shows his skin shredded to reveal a body made of steel, stamped with the five Olympic rings.
"It is as if I have been made for the Olympics, racing there and winning medals," he told Reuters on Tuesday at the short track training venue in Sochi.
Hamelin, who said his tattoo was inspired by a childhood love of comic-book superheroes, won an Olympic silver medal in the 5,000 meters relay in Torino.
Four years later in Vancouver he improved the 5,000 relay medal to a gold, and also won the 500m individual title.
Going into the February 7-23 Games, he has accumulated eight world titles and is ranked in the world's top three in the 500, 1,000 and 1,500m.
Hamelin, 29, was introduced to speed skating by his younger brother Francois, who took up the sport aged five when their mother pushed her three boys to find an outlet for their energy.
"I randomly picked speed skating," said Francois, who is two years younger.
Since then short track has become a family affair. A third brother, Mathieu, also skated and their father became their coach.
At the 2010 Games in Vancouver, Charles and Francois stood side-by-side on the podium, taking gold in the 5,000m relay.
Hours earlier, Charles had seized gold in the 500m, cheered wildly by his girlfriend Marianne St-Gelais, who won two silver medals in short track in Vancouver.
The video of the couple leaping over a barrier to share a kiss after Hamelin's 500m medal became a hit on YouTube.
"People show it to us a lot," Hamelin said. "It brings up so much emotion for Marianne and me even when we hear the song that goes with it."
Four year on, the Canadian Olympic trio appear to be at the top of their game and ready to create fresh memories in Sochi.
Francois said his brother was an inspiration.
"He is like a machine. He is always as if he is going into war, as if he is a soldier," he told Reuters.
"My brother is the guy to beat in every distance."
Hamelin said he has worked hard on strategy in the four years since Vancouver to better control the raw fire that powers him in races, but which has also been known to trip him up.
In the past, if another skater passed him or he felt uncomfortable in his position, he might have wasted precious energy by racing back into the lead.
"I really worked hard ... to make sure I am calm, I don't do anything stupid or too demanding so I can fight up until the end," he said after a training session in Sochi.
"I have become a better skater than four years ago in all the aspects of my skating - technically and physically."
If Hamelin wins the 500m in Sochi he will be the first man to win gold over the distance in two consecutive Olympics.
But he is wary of two skaters he calls "his biggest rivals": U.S. skater J.R. Celski, who has emerged as the face of the team after Apolo Anton Ohno retired, and South Korean-born Viktor Ahn, who now races for Russia and won three Olympic gold medals under the name Ahn Hyun-soo.
"Those two are awesome skaters," Hamelin said. "They can lead, they stay in the back and pass, they can play in the pack so you can't predict what they're going to do in a race ... when I do win against them the feeling is even better."
In the relay, the Canadians are up against speed skating powerhouses China and South Korea, an American team led by Celski and the Netherlands.
While Hamelin has been working to stay calm during races he admits he has no control over his nerves when he is on the sidelines watching his brother or girlfriend.
"I can't hold myself," he added. "I am so much more stressed than when I am racing."

Consumer groups are stepping up pressure on animal producers and their practice of giving antibiotics to healthy animals to prevent disease. In two new reports, the groups say they're worried that the preventive use of antibiotics is contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which get harder to treat in humans and animals over time.
This week, Consumer Reports released a report looking at bacteria on turkey meat that are resistant to medicines used for humans. Scientists there tested 257 samples of raw ground turkey meat that they purchased at grocery stores around the country. They conclude that turkey meat that came from turkeys raised organically without antibiotics was significantly less likely to harbor resistant bacteria compared with meat from conventional turkeys that were given antibiotics.
"We think these findings underscore a very important [government] recommendation that we don't need to feed healthy animals antibiotics every day to promote their growth and prevent disease," says Urvashi Rangan, director of the food safety and sustainability group at Consumer Reports.
The findings came on the heels of a report from another consumer advocacy organization, the Environmental Working Group, which analyzed data collected by the federal government's National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System. It also documented high levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in store-bought meats.
The Food and Drug Administration took issue with this EWG analysis, saying it came to "misleading conclusions." But meanwhile, the agency has weighed in on the complex problem of antibiotic resistance by calling for the judicious use of antibiotics in food-producing animals.
"One way FDA is working to address this issue [of resistance] is to phase out the use of antibiotics in food animals for growth promotion and feed efficiency," says Jalil Isa, a spokesman for the agency. "FDA believes these drugs should be used only in situations where they are necessary for ensuring animal health, and done so under the oversight of a veterinarian."
The most recent data from the FDA show that about 30 million pounds of antibiotics each year are purchased for use in farm animals. That's about four times more than what doctors prescribe to people.
Around 70 percent of those drugs aren't used to treat sick animals, according estimates by the Union of Concerned Scientists. Instead, farmers administer them at low doses to help animals grow faster and prevent infections.
Diana Goodpasture of Akron, Ohio, knows what it's like to be sickened by a strain of salmonella bacteria that's resistant to antibiotic treatment. In June 2011, after she ate a turkey burger that she had grilled, she became so sick that she was hospitalized for five days.
"It was terrible; it was the worst thing I ever experienced in my life," Goodpasture tells The Salt. She was infected with salmonella Heidelberg that was resistant to three types of antibiotics: ampicillin, streptomycin and tetracycline. The tainted meat was part of a massive ground turkey recall.
Consumer Reports briefed several government agencies on its findings, which were released April 30, on bacteria in ground turkey meat. In an email, the FDA's Isa says the report leaves out information that would have been helpful, such as "details about which types of bacteria were found to be resistant to which antibiotics."
UPDATE, Wednesday, May 1, 12:30 p.m.
The FDA acknowledges that it overlooked a table in the report that does include the details on which bacteria were resistant to individual antibiotics.
And the original post continues...
The National Turkey Federation, meanwhile, says it believes turkey producers are using antibiotics judiciously — and that their practices help keep turkey flocks healthy. They point out that in general, the antibiotics used most in raising turkeys are not the same antibiotics that are relied upon to treat people.
NTF President Joel Brandenberger says animal agriculture is only one piece of the puzzle in the problem of antibiotic resistance, but he recognizes FDA's efforts to work with producers to restrict their use of the drugs.
"The National Turkey Federation has been cautiously supportive of FDA's strategy," says Brandenberger.
According to poultry scientist Michael Hulet at Penn State University, the poultry industry has already stopped using a lot of the drugs that are still used to treat infections in humans, like ciprofloxacin. And, he says, when the industry does use the same drugs that doctors prescribe to sick people — drugs like tetracycline — it's usually only to treat animals that are truly sick, not to prevent disease.
"The industry has really cut back on the number of drugs used [for routine prevention of disease in healthy animals] because of some of the concern about resistance," Hulet says.
But Gail Hansen with the Pew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming says it's impossible to confirm whether the poultry industry's claims are true, because there are no publicly available data on how the drugs are actually used. "So far, all we really have is 'trust' and no way to verify," says Hansen.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have proposed new legislation that would restrict the use of antibiotics in food animals and eight classes of antibiotics for human use only.
"We need to take action to confront this growing public health crisis before routine infections like strep throat become fatal," Democratic New York Rep. Louise Slaughter, author of the legislation, said in a statement.
Nowadays, farmers who raise livestock and poultry commonly use antibiotics. And as with humans, the practice of routinely giving animals these medicines has been under close scrutiny. That's because using antibiotics too often creates strains of bacteria that are resistant to treatment. And a new study on how much resistant bacteria is found in ground turkey, has led to more calls for action.
NPR's Allison Aubrey reports.
ALLISON AUBREY, BYLINE: If you've ever had food poisoning, you know how bad it can be. For Diana Goodpasture, of Akron, Ohio, she did not know what hit her when one night in June of 2011, after eating a grilled turkey burger, she got so sick she couldn't function
DIANA GOODPASTURE: It was terrible. It was the worst thing I ever experienced in my life.
AUBREY: At first she thought she had the flu. She didn't know she'd end up in the hospital for five days.
GOODPASTURE: And, you know, I kept thinking I'll get better, I'll get better. But unfortunately it wasn't the flu. It was salmonella poisoning which I had acquired from the ground turkey.
AUBREY: The tainted meat Diana had eaten was part of a batch that prompted a massive ground turkey recall in 2011. The death of one person was tied to the outbreak and more than 75 people got sick. Now, what made victims such as Diana Goodpasture's medical situation potentially more complicated, was that it turned out the specific strain of bacteria found in that meat, called Salmonella Heidelberg, was resistant to three kinds of antibiotics used in people.
This means these medicines would not have worked to fight off the infection. In Goodpasture's case, she was given Cipro - an antibiotic that did work.
GOODPASTURE: I was on IVs in hospital and then I was on tablets at home.
AUBREY: And thankfully she did recover. But her story raises important questions. Why have bacteria become resistant to medicines that used to be effective in wiping them out? Public health experts have pointed to the daily use of antibiotics in healthy farm animals as one contributor.
Gail Hansen is a veterinarian who works for the Pew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming.
GAIL HANSEN: Livestock producers, poultry producers give low levels of antibiotics to healthy animals oftentimes just to get them to grow faster; and to them from getting disease or from diseases spreading.
AUBREY: The practice has become controversial, and that's why a new analysis by Consumer Reports has created a buzz. What Consumer Reports did was to purchase samples of raw, ground turkey at grocery stores around the country. They found that the meat that came from turkeys raised conventionally - with antibiotics - was significantly more likely to harbor antibiotic resistant bacteria, compared to turkey that came from animals raised organically without antibiotics. And some bacteria were resistant to multiple antibiotics.
Here's Urvashi Rangan of Consumer Reports.
URVASHI RANGAN: We think these findings underscore a very important recommendation that we don't need to feed healthy animals antibiotics, every day, to promote their growth and prevent disease.
AUBREY: The Food and Drug Administration has already called for more judicious use of antibiotics in farm animals. But as more studies document antibiotic resistance, the agency says one goal of their strategy is to phase out the use of the use of antibiotics for growth promotion. And turkey producers are paying attention.
Here's the industry's Joel Brandenberger. He's president of the National Turkey Federation
JOEL BRANDENBERGER: The National Turkey Federation has been cautiously supportive of FDA's strategy.
AUBREY: But Brandenberger says turkey producers do want to preserve the use of antibiotics to prevent disease.

Family History
Please note, the Live chat link above will put you in touch with Cornwall Council's customer services team, not Record Office or Cornish Studies Library staff.
We've designed this guide to help you start to uncover your family's history in Cornwall. There are many resources you can use on the internet, as well as places you can visit in Cornwall to help you. Some websites charge for access to information. You can access some archives for free in certain locations across Cornwall.
Some tips for getting started
- First, organise what you know already and decide what you want to find out. This will prevent you getting sidetracked by irrelevant information.
- Remember, other members of your family often know lots of useful information. Starting with yourself and working backwards write down all that you and your relatives know about your family. Using family letters, photographs, news cuttings and bibles can help this.
- Write down everything that you learn, noting where the information has come from. Include notes about when a search has been unsuccessful to prevent you looking in the same place twice.
- Start to draw a family tree or chart, leaving space to add more information when you find it.
- Read a book or magazine on genealogy (family history). There are lots available from libraries and bookshops. These can give you an idea of what sources you may need and the information you can expect to get from them.
- Look at some online guides such as:
- BBC family history website
- National Archives guides
- GENUKI UK and Ireland a virtual reference library of genealogical information
Very useful records
Censuses are a valuable source for family historians. Compiled every ten years from 1841, you can currently access them for the years 1841-1911. They contain information such as names, addresses, ages and occupations. The easiest way to access them is online. You can do this from home (but you may have to pay) or for free via the People's Network computers in Cornwall's public libraries. To learn more about the census see our Public records page.
Parish registers
Church records list baptisms, marriages and burials and generally cover from the 1560's to the present day. They vary in the detail they contain, but can include names, ages, occupations and where people lived. You can find further details on the:
Cornwall Record Office (CRO) holds the original registers for Cornwall's 257 parishes. You can access them there via microfiche and it is also possible to obtain copies. Further microfiche copies of local registers are available at our county-wide service points. Transcripts of some registers are available at CRO. The Cornwall Family History Society and the Cornish Studies Library (CSL) also have transcripts. Other useful records available at CRO include:
- Bishops Transcripts (contemporary copies of parish registers)
- Non-Conformist registers (mainly Methodist).
Civil registration
Commonly known as birth, marriage and death registers and certificates, civil registration began in 1837 and continues to the present day. The Registration Service (RS) charges a small fee to search them for you. They can contain a wealth of useful information, including names, maiden names and occupations. There is no public access to the original registers themselves. You can access the indexes through Cornwall Family History Society or for free, online at FreeBMD.
Other useful records
If you are researching pauper ancestors, or ancestors who may have been in the workhouse, then the Poor Law Guardians' minute books can be a very useful resource. You can find out more about them by visiting The Poor Law Project #2 page.
Local places to visit
You can get a lot of information remotely but it can be rewarding to visit the places that hold the original documents. Outlined below are three useful places to visit or contact.
Cornwall Record Office
The Cornwall Record Office is open for you to visit and explore your family history. It holds:
- Parish registers
- Bishops transcripts
- probate records (wills, administrations and inventories)
- copies of the census returns
- as well as thousands of other records for you to see
Particularly useful for family history research are:
- poor law records (see also The Poor Law Project #2)
- deeds
- leases
- tithe maps
- school admission registers
Before your visit it may be best to consult the online catalogues to check that what you need is available. You are able to copy many of the documents at the Record Office.
Cornish Studies Library
The Cornish Studies Library is also open for you to visit and is a reference library. You can drop in and access any of their wealth of resources including:
- a vast collection of books and journals relating to Cornwall
- a photographic archive
- census returns
- some parish register copies
- transcripts and trade directories.
You can consult their extensive collection of old newspapers, periodicals and maps. There are facilities to sit and study quietly, or chat about your family history findings
Registration Service
Birth, death and marriage certificates are available from the Registration Service (RS). It is helpful if you can provide the district, names and date when the event occurred. The RS will search two years either side of the date supplied. For marriage certificates information such as where the parties lived is also helpful. You can make applications by phone or post (enclose an SAE). Applications must include the appropriate fee. Please make cheques payable to Cornwall Council. Alternatively, you can pay by credit/debit card over the phone. Unsuccessful applications will receive a full refund. For application forms please visit the Registration Service web pages or contact:

Microsoft dishes up interoperability version 1.0
Incomplete code is go...
Microsoft, in its latest attempt to play nice with pesky EU regulators, has published protocol documentation for its Office 2007, SharePoint 2007, and Exchange Server 2007 products.
The software multinational lifted the lid on 14,000 pages of sketchy versions of tech documentation for core software code in April this year, in a move seen by many as a concerted effort to satisfy anti-trust concerns of the European Union and others.
Microsoft previously said that it planned to free up protocols around its client and server software in three stages. As the first stage of that process it unleashed preliminary tech docs that revealed some of the inner workings of its code via its Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website.
Over the past few months the company has garnered feedback from the developer community. Yesterday's publication of protocols was supposed to be the final stage of that process.
However, Microsoft has in fact coughed up what it described as "Version 1.0" of the protocols for Office 2007, SharePoint 2007 and Exchange Server 2007, as well as 5,000 new pages of information on the binary file formats found in earlier versions of Office.
Presumably, Version 1.0 incorporates changes following feedback from the developer community. But it also means the code is effectively a work in progress and not a definitive publication – a significant change of tune from Microsoft's Spring-time proclamations.
The protocol information is free to use for non-commercial and commercial open source purposes, said Microsoft in a statement. However, here's the rub: developers churning out commercial products based on the company's patent specifications are required to pay for the privilege, and if they don't, their customers do.
A $10,000 price tag is automatically added in non-refundable royalties up front for those developers hoping to reel in some cash for their MS protocol-grappling efforts with products they want to sell.
Microsoft preferred to describe its pricing structure as "reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing terms and low pricing available to those who choose to take a license to the patents covering the protocols in these products that are used to communicate with other Microsoft products".
Meanwhile, the latest round of binary file format documentation has been released in template form to make it easier for developers to navigate their way through the docs.
In all, some 50,000 documents are now published on the interweb, said Microsoft, which – in these post-Bill Gates days – insists that
promiscuity interoperability isn't a dirty word. ®

When singer Demi Lovato isn't looking for the new chart-topper on televised singing competition "The X Factor," she records music of her own–and this time she's dedicating a song to a special group.
The 20-year-old released a rendition of the 1993 holiday track, "Angels Among Us," honoring the children lost in this month's school shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn, GossipCop.com
"We can never imagine what the families in Newtown, Conn. are experiencing right now," said the video in its opening message. "And while there is nothing we can do to replace their loss, we can stand together and support them during this difficult time. This song is in honor of those angels we lost on December 14."
Viewers were also asked to support We Are Newtown, a community site that shares fundraising efforts in support of the school tragedy. Their site says they've established the "We Are Newtown" memorial scholarship to assist graduating seniors from Newtown.
Earlier this month, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot his mother before heading to the school and killing 20 children and six adults. He then killed himself. Officials have yet to offer a possible motive for the rampage.
On Christmas Day, residents and out-of-town visitors paid tribute to the victims with gift offerings and donations.

With the constant drive of information to overhaul lives and start living a healthier lifestyle, more and more people, now more than ever, are starting to lose weight. Losing weight may be achieved through the use of weight loss programs and exercise regimens. There are a lot of exercise programs designed to help people lose weight. There is also a wide array of products such as diet pills and supplements that claim to aid in weight loss; however, these products may or may not be really effective. The best way to really lose the extra pounds is to start a proper weight loss diet and use it together with a well designed exercise program.
weight loss diet programs, simply weight loss, weight loss foods,
It is easy enough to lose a few pounds; however, losing the weight and keeping it off is a whole other story. The failure to keep the weight off is caused by several reasons. It may be that an individual wants to lose the weight really fast, or they attempt a drastic change in their diet - one which they cannot maintain for an extended period of time. Losing weight and keeping it off requires a change in one's lifestyle and mind set. Before starting on a weight loss regimen, you will have to prepare yourself and know that results do not come overnight.
- Create a plan.
The first thing to do when starting a weight loss program is to set realistic goals. Think only about losing 5 to 15 pounds and keeping it off. Choosing the best time to start is also important. It is recommended to start your weight loss regimen at a time wherein you feel that the next few weeks of your life will be as calm as possible. Determine what you want to eat and when you want to eat it. Be honest with your self. Keep a record of all the food and drink you take in for one week. Use this record in setting a new diet goal for yourself. Concentrate on making small change first and do not attempt to change your entire diet in one go. Keep in mind that it will take a long time before you see results. There is no magic solution for weight loss. Check the status of your physical health - whether you do exercise or not.
- Prepare yourself.
Prepare yourself for a change in lifestyle and nutritional habits. Learn about what you need to eat and how much you need to eat to remain healthy. Look for tips online or in libraries on how to go about a successful weight loss program. Consult a licensed nutritionist for your diet, and consult your physician.
Numerous benefits may be derived from proper weight loss. Losing a substantial amount of weight can help enhance your health and make you feel better. Some known benefits from weight loss are a decrease in blood glucose levels and blood pressure; less stress on the hips, knees, feet, and ankles; more energy; and ease of movement.
There is no better time than the present to start your way to a healthier new you. Consult your physician and prepare yourself. Losing weight can be very fun and very rewarding at the same time.
