WASHINGTON, 6 August 2012 (CNS)—The chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs expressed the bishops' prayerful solidarity with the Sikh community in the United States following the August 5 shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.
"In this time of grief, we Catholics mourn with our Sikh brothers and sisters," said Bishop Denis Madden, auxiliary bishop of Baltimore. "We share a warm and fruitful friendship, as well as a love of God and a belief in the community of all people, making yesterday's tragedy all the more painful and difficult to comprehend."
A gunman killed six people and critically wounded three others after opening fire during a worship service at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
Bishop Madden added, "The U.S. bishops stand with the Sikh community and reject all violence, particularly violence inflicted out of religious intolerance. We are especially saddened that this horrendous act was carried out in a house of worship against people joined together as a family to worship God. Our prayers are with everyone touched by this, especially those who've lost family members and loved ones."
The Secretariat for Interreligious and Ecumenical Affairs of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has been in dialogue with the U.S. Sikh Community since 2006. For more information, click here.

UPPER GWYNEDD >> The newest nature preserve in Upper Gwynedd is now open to the public, thanks to one of the area's largest companies and a dedicated group of volunteers.
The Dodsworth Run Preserve, a 9.4-acre parcel on Dickerson Road, was formally dedicated from Merck to the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association Thursday afternoon.
"Merck is pleased, not only to create a wonderful setting for the community, but to donate the property to the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association to ensure lasting, quality land use, as part of the Green Ribbon Trail network," said Steve Mongiardo, Merck's executive director of facilities management for Pennsylvania operations.
The new preserve is located on land that once housed a Leeds and Northrup manufacturing facility Merck purchased in 1997 to establish new offices, and demolition of the previous building began in 1998 and was completed in 2000, the same year Merck opened a child learning center just south of the new preserve. Mongiardo described how Merck employees were literally sitting in hallways in congested buildings when the property was acquired, and an office and training facility on part of the site now hosts 2,400 Merck employees.
Turning the property into a green destination, with grass seed still growing and birds chirping during a ribbon cutting Thursday, will benefit the surrounding community as well as the roughly 10,000 Merck employees who work within walking distance, according to Bob McMahon, president of Merck's U.S. Market Global Human Health Division.
"During any given work day, it offers the opportunity to take a walk, take in nature, or simply have a mental time-out," McMahon said.
"As the largest employer in Montgomery County with over 10,000 employees right here in Upper Gwynedd, Merck employees are fortunate to have the Green Ribbon Trail right here in our backyard, which our employees can now access quite frequently," he said.
John Bosio Jr., owner of Bosio Metal Specialties just up Industrial Drive from the new park, donated a bench that now sits along Dickerson between a parking lot and the entrance to the park, and said that was inspired by a similar gift from his father, John Sr., to his family's ancestral home in Islabona, Italy.
"In 1967 my father returned home to Italy, and he was asked to donate a bench to a park. The money wasn't really plentiful, but he felt he wanted to do it," he said. "I was riding by recently, and I saw that they were building a park here, so my wife said 'Well, why don't you donate a bench like your father?'"
That idea led him to construction contractor Robert Dunkerley Construction, which put him in contact with Merck, and led to the seat Bosio enjoyed Thursday: a brand-new bench with a plaque stating "Donated by Bosio Metals 2016" which John Jr. said he plans to visit often.
"This is going to motivate me to go on a walking program, and maybe I can get some employees to do the same," he said.
The preserve now features 1,325 feet of walking trail, 700 feet of sidewalk, and a 250-foot wooden boardwalk running past an informational sign full of WVWA maps, programs, and information on upcoming events. The trail loops around a shallow pool meant to provide a habitat for amphibians, and WVWA volunteers and staffers will monitor the preserve for bird sightings and water quality measurements where it runs along the Wissahickon Creek, with plans for future components including an elevated platform for kids to bird-watch, a butterfly garden, and a viewing platform for the pool.
The Green Ribbon Trail starts at the nearby Parkside Place complex in Upper Gwynedd and runs 12.6 miles south to Whitemarsh along the Wissahickon Creek. State Rep. Kate Harper, R-61, listed the municipalities in the watershed as she described how everybody downstream is affected by those at the creek's headwaters.
"This is upstream from Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd, North Wales, Ambler, Upper Dublin, Whitemarsh, Springfield, Chestnut Hill, Mount Airy, Germantown — and Philadelphia, I was saving that for last," she said.
Philadelphia draws its drinking water from the Schuylkill River after the Wissahickon flows into it, so efforts to improve the water quality in places like the preserve will make a noticeable difference to those drinking downstream.
"Everyone has heard the expression 'We all live downstream.' To the folks from the Watershed Association, they think of it literally, but it's a metaphor for whatever we do, or fail to do, in life, it affects an awful lot of other people," Harper said.
WVWA Board of Directors Chairman Rick Collier said the new preserve is the 11th operated and maintained by the association and its volunteers, and will be used for educating the public and private student groups like those who attend the nearby Merck Learning Center.
"In developed communities, of which there are many in this region, open space is at a premium, and new open space is often very hard to come by," Collier said, noting the preserve is named for the Dodsworth Run watershed that flows into the Wissahickon.
"Finding these new spaces is now a huge challenge. As Mark Twain said, 'Buy land, they're not making it anymore,'" he said, adding that recapturing previously developed land and converting it to open space "is a difficult and a demanding task, but an effective way to introduce needed open space to built-in communities."
Upper Gwynedd commissioners' President Ken Kroberger said when Merck approached the township about subdividing the property last year, the board felt the idea was a "no-brainer," and he thanked all parties for working together to benefit the area.
"It added to our open space, it provided a benefit to all of the residents in the local area, and it also enhanced the Wissahickon (Creek) and Green Ribbon Trail and overall environment in the township," he said.

The doctors at Surprise Dental and Denture use the top of the line resin dental materials that match the shade, translucency and texture of teeth. For those on a small budget, bonding is a good alternative to veneers for closing gaps between the teeth and masking dark spots or chips. In some cases discolorations can be eliminated enhancing a patients self-confidence. Resin Bonding is a virtually painless procedure and can be completed in one visit. Our patients are amazed with their new attractive, natural looking smile following the bonding procedure.

Santa's trying to improve the procedure of handing out gifts, every year. This time, he invented a new type of twin ion engine which significantly increases the speed of the sleigh and makes it possible to avoid the using of reindeers, thus decreasing the amount of stress they need to handle. However, it's still a prototype and we need to be careful with it. For now, it seems there's some malfunctioning and it won't start. The reindeers are not used to this extra weight and are confused. We need a little time to fix this. Can you help me with finding the right objects?

This news will surely be music to the ears for the young and aspiring Indian entrepreneurs who are striving to make big.
The Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will make a series of "very important" announcements to promote startups in the country in December.
During his Independence Day speech, Mr. Modi had announced a new campaign 'Startup India; Stand up India' to give a boost to entrepreneurship and job creation in the country. This campaign will also help to promote bank financing for startups and government will offer incentives.
"… in early to mid-December the Prime Minister is going to make a series of very important announcements on Startup India where we will bring together the work that we are doing and make some important announcements about how we are going to take forward India's entrepreneurial ecosystem," Sinha said.
He further added that the announcements are going to be "very exciting", and the government is committed to promote startups and entrepreneurship.
"We have already done, I think, more in the last 15 months than the previous government did in 10 years," Sinha said.
Sinha said the announcements to be made by the Prime Minister would ensure that India as a country with respect to startups and entrepreneurs "is going to be the best in the world".
He went on to say that the government is working very hard to make it very easy to do business for entrepreneurs and startups, and also to ensure the financing is available. Ease of doing business in India is one of the top priority for this government.
Another area where the government has put a lot of stress is to foster innovation in research centres and in the universities through the network of innovation laboratories.
In the Budget, there were a number of important steps to encourage startups, including setting up of India Aspiration Fund and Atal Innovation Mission.
"We have tried to streamline and make doing business in India much easier," Sinha added.

What We Want To See At E3 2012
Like Christmas, E3 seems to start earlier every year. Websites and magazine start talking about the show months before it is due to take place and run up lists and collate rumours. If you can't beat them, join them I say. And once you have joined them, then beat them by being the first E3 preview article on the net – hurray! Ok, not really the first article, but hopefully one of the best. Of course this being February, rumors are still thin on the ground for the biggest video games event of the year. The main focus of much of the early discussion seems to be around whether Sony and Microsoft will show off early versions of their consoles during their conferences, something that has been recently denied by both companies.
Publishers are yet to even hint at really any of the games they will be showing off, but the latter half of 2012 is still pretty bare as far as announced releases go, so we know there are some big guns waiting in the wings. Rather than feature a preview of the event then (something we will no doubt have up on the site as Summer draws nearer) we thought maybe a fantasy list of dream announcements would serve better to fire up the hype machine. Have a read of our list, then let us know what YOU hope to see from LA.

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is set to show off his ball skills as he hosts a charity soccer game in his hometown.
The singer will play with his local pub team, the Three Horse Shoes, as they take on the Doncaster Rovers at Keepmoat Stadium in his native Doncaster, England.
Cash generated by the match will be donated to Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice, which offers care to kids with a shortened life expectancy.
Taking to his Twitter.com page, Tomlinson admits he's anxious about the soccer showdown, writing, "Right who's coming to the game on 22nd October?... I'm nervous about it!"
Tomlinson played for the Three Horse Shoes before he shot to fame and bought the club earlier this year (12).

In Stage II COPD -- defined by having forced expiratory volume between 50 and 80 percent of normal, as measured by a test called spirometry or lung function testing -- symptoms such as shortness of breath and coughing are often more noticeable. The person you're caring for may have additional signs, such as a bluish tint to the lips or skin from low oxygen levels in the blood. Here's what to expect:
Physical activity decreases, yet the need to exercise actually increases. You may already be noticing the COPD "vicious cycle": Because exertion can bring on shortness of breath, which is scary and uncomfortable, COPD sufferers resist physical activity. But they need to increase their level of physical activity despite the discomfort. In Stage II COPD, while COPD sufferers still have fairly good lung capacity, it's important to think of the lungs in the same way we think of muscles. If the COPD patient doesn't use them and push their capacity, they atrophy and lose strength. Over time, helping your loved one find ways to exercise that aren't too uncomfortable will be one of the big challenges you face as a COPD caregiver.
Action steps
Explain that engaging in physical activity is the best way to strengthen respiratory muscles to prevent COPD from progressing and improve overall strength and endurance.
Help him or her find a class or group to participate in, so exercise is regularly scheduled.
Set up a "buddy" program to help your loved one stay motivated, or plan exercise you can do together.
Purchase some free weights to keep at home, so the person you're caring for can do simple exercises while watching TV or listening to music.
Be the enforcer when it comes to smoking. The single most important thing someone with COPD can do to prevent the disease from worsening quickly is to quit smoking. You can play an important role in motivating your loved one to quit.
Action steps
Talk about it in a supportive manner. Suggest a quit-smoking class or support group. Let your loved one know that you realize what a big step this is, and that you're going to get him or her any needed support .
Stock up on stop-smoking aids. Work with his or her doctor to get the most effective nicotine substitution products to make quitting easier.
Enlist a coach or hypnotherapist. Many therapists use counseling and hypnosis to help smokers motivate themselves to quit and to cope with cravings. If your loved one is interested in getting this kind of support, help him or her find the right person to work with, someone he or she feels comfortable with.
Help your loved one learn to cope with shortness of breath. He or she may notice shortness of breath during exercise, or during any activity that boosts heart rate, such as hurrying for a bus or carrying a heavy object.
Action steps
Set realistic expectations. Not being able to draw a deep breath is scary, but panicking just makes symptoms worse. Encourage your loved one to stay calm and to try to slow breathing to a steady rhythm.
If you haven't already, get a referral to a pulmonologist or COPD specialist. There's a great deal of misinformation about COPD, and some doctors don't treat Stage II COPD as aggressively as experts now recommend.
"¢ If the doctor hasn't yet prescribed inhalers, discuss this issue as soon as possible, since many experts now believe that inhalers are beneficial in the treatment of Stage II COPD.
Fatigue increases. When breathing isn't easy, every activity becomes more tiring. Your loved one may experience fatigue after exertion and, gradually, more and more with everyday activities.
Action steps
Be the "exercise police" -- make sure your loved one is exercising regularly, even if he or she doesn't want to. Studies show that COPD patients who exercise regularly report less fatigue and better quality of life than those who don't.
Make good sleep a priority. If sleep is a problem, discuss the issue with his or her doctor. There are techniques that work to help COPD patients sleep better with fewer interruptions.
Enroll in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. Pulmonary rehabilitation, a structured program of exercises to strengthen the breathing muscles, is one of the most effective ways to stay healthy with COPD. Pulmonary rehab can help COPD patients maintain and even improve physical fitness and conserve energy.
More ways to help the person in your care
Coughing fits become more frequent. A phlegmy cough or morning "smoker's cough" is a common symptom of Stage II COPD. The reason: Mucus is collecting in your loved one's air passageways, which are no longer as efficient at clearing themselves.
Action steps
Focus on fluid intake. One of the simplest and most effective ways to thin mucus secretions is to be well hydrated. The person you're caring for needs to drink water and other fluids starting first thing in the morning, enough that urine remains light in color and clear throughout the day.
Sometimes COPD patients don't drink as much as they should because they fear that drinking can trigger coughing. Experiment with using straws, water bottles with pop-up nozzles, "sippy" cups designed for children, or a Camelbak-style water pack to see if any of these help with coughing.
Help him or her explore the use of controlled coughing. This technique, which a doctor can teach, is one of the best strategies for coping with the buildup of mucus in the airways.
Use a humidifier when air is dry or at night during sleep.
Support him or her in learning airway clearance techniques. These techniques, which can help to expel excess phlegm, are taught as part of pulmonary rehabilitation or as part of a program of COPD breathing exercises, also called breathing retraining.
Be prepared for flare-ups. The term flare-up, or exacerbation, is used by doctors to describe a sudden worsening of COPD symptoms. Flare-ups can come on suddenly and can be scary. Sometimes the symptoms then go back to their previous level, but sometimes they remain worse than before the exacerbation.
Action steps
Ask the doctor which medications you should have on hand in case of an exacerbation. Some types of inhalers are best for short-term treatment when COPD symptoms worsen.
If your loved one is struggling to breathe and inhalers don't provide enough relief, seek treatment as quickly as possible.
Exacerbations can be dangerous: Go to the emergency room if a same-day appointment isn't available.
Sleep interruptions become more frequent. Any type of breathing problem, including COPD, can interfere with sleep by half-waking the person over and over. If this happens, the sleeper is prevented from going into or remaining in deep REM sleep.
Action steps
Discourage sleeping in a chair. COPD patients often find they breathe better with their head elevated, making it tempting to sleep in a chair. But COPD patients don't sleep as deeply or stay asleep as long in a chair, experts caution, and as a result they're more likely to wake up feeling tired and to suffer more fatigue.
Ask the doctor about testing for sleep apnea, particularly if you've noticed "snorting" or snoring. About 10 to 15 percent of people with COPD also have sleep apnea, marked by loud snoring, interrupted breathing, or pauses followed by sudden intakes of breath.
Review medication side effects. Some inhalers, such as those containing albuterol, can cause jitteriness, anxiety, and sleeplessness.
Notice heartburn and other symptoms of GERD. Studies show that more than half of patients with advanced COPD also have gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. While this is less common in people with early-stage COPD, the two conditions can occur together. If GERD is a concern, talk to the doctor and ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist.
Depression can develop. Because COPD is progressive and feels like a limitation on daily activities, many people experience sadness, frustration, and depression as they cope with COPD. For some, depression can manifest as grumpiness, anger, and even rage. When you're caring for someone with COPD, you may find yourself a constant target of irritability, fault-finding, and anger.
Action steps
Try to get the person you're caring for to open up about how he or she feels. Talking about fears and frustrations can help. But don't try to be a therapist; if the situation feels overwhelming, encourage him or her to seek professional help.
Lend a supportive ear when sadness strikes and the person you're caring for feels discouraged about no longer being able to do certain things; these are legitimate feelings to have.
Try not to dwell on the negative. Make concrete suggestions for ways to cope with COPD so that it's possible to continue meaningful activities. Go over each limitation and find a solution.
Don't let fear become one of those limitations. Some people with COPD overly limit themselves out of fear of triggering an exacerbation. But it's important for COPD patients to stay active and to continue to push their limits, because this is the best way to stay healthy. Turn the conversation in a positive direction whenever possible.
It can be difficult when the person you're caring for is irritable or angry. You're an easy target. If this is happening, find support for yourself; don't struggle on alone. Ask the doctor for a referral to a therapist and a support group.
How to take care of yourself
Look ahead, but try not to anticipate the worst. Based on what the doctor tells you now, you may be peering into the future and thinking that caring for someone with COPD will drastically change your life. This may be true down the line, but right now there isn't as much required; you don't want to use up your resources or burn out too early in the game.
Action steps
Stay in touch with friends and family members. Keep up phone and e-mail contact with your support network.
Maintain regular activities and commitments. If you have a weekly book group, card game, or dance class, continue your involvement as always. Many COPD patients become demanding. Don't let this stop you; you're already giving up a lot. It's not healthy for anyone if you sacrifice everything you care about.
Stay in touch, but don't stay home. Fear of exacerbations can make some COPD sufferers anxious, but with a cell phone handy, there's no reason you can't maintain your normal routine.
Research COPD and become well informed, but try not to borrow trouble. COPD is a progressive disease, but it progresses at different rates, and there's no way to know what's down the line. Many COPD sufferers continue to have mainly mild symptoms for many years.
Seek emotional support. Find a COPD caregivers' support group. If there isn't one in your area, ask your loved one's doctor or social worker if the medical center can put you in touch with other families coping with this disease. If that doesn't work, seek help online, or look for a general caregivers' support group.
Don't try to go it alone. As COPD progresses, the person you're caring for will typically be less and less able to handle physical tasks around the house or elsewhere. This means that more and more will fall on you, even as you're caring for your loved one's health as well. That's not a workable solution now, and it will become increasingly difficult as the disease progresses.
Action steps
Beware the "do it all" pattern. Early on, when your loved one is just beginning to face restrictions on his or her abilities, it's easy to become overly solicitous. Right now there's still a lot your loved one can do, and it's important for both of you to let him or her stay active and involved.
When the person you're caring for can't do something, try what some COPD caregivers call "task trading." If your loved one doesn't feel up to taking out the garbage, for example, ask him or her to cut up the vegetables for dinner while you carry out the garbage. It's important to set boundaries early on.
Seek help for household tasks that are falling on your shoulders. If, for example, there's more gardening work for you to handle because your loved one can't easily do it, consider hiring some help if you can afford it. If not, ask other family members to help out.
How to build your family-and-friends support system
Expect denial. Understand that with a subtle, progressive disease like COPD, denial is a common reaction, especially among those who don't see your family member as often or spend as much time together as you do. It's typical for those who see family members primarily in group situations and festive gatherings to miss the subtle changes that you see day to day.
In the early stages of COPD, when symptoms are mild and come on only intermittently, family members may have a hard time understanding and accepting that today's mild symptoms will develop into a serious condition that will require big decisions and changes down the road.
Action steps
Stay in touch and share what your family member is experiencing. Update family and friends regularly, and don't minimize symptoms. Talk about your own feelings, too; if your loved one has an exacerbation and it's scary, say so. The more you share, the better they'll begin to understand what's happening and what's in store.
If family members seem to be in denial, suggest that they spend time doing physical activities with the person who has COPD, so they can experience what's happening. Don't limit their time together to meals and short visits, even if the person with COPD resists longer visits. It's much easier for people to understand the physical limitations that come with COPD if they see them firsthand.
Share what you learn. Most people are unaware of the stages of COPD, how physical symptoms can affect lifestyle and even change personality. Share the medical information that doctors provide, and pass along links to articles and other research you discover.
Ask for help in specific ways. Many family members and friends will be willing to help, but they may not know what to do or they'll need prompting.
Action steps
Keep a list of tasks, from mowing the lawn to fixing the leaky faucet to picking up groceries.
When you request help, be as detailed as possible, and give plenty of advance notice unless it's an emergency. It's also helpful to mention time constraints or potential obstacles: "He might need extra time to walk from the parking lot, so plan to arrive 15 minutes early."
If possible, divide tasks into categories and give each category to one sibling or other family member. If one person handles everything related to medical bills, for example, there won't be a learning curve trying to bring someone else up to date. If one person's a good cook, let him or her handle meal requests and delegate as he or she sees fit.
"¢ Don't hesitate to ask family members who aren't close by or otherwise readily available to pitch in financially. If a family member pays for a housecleaner to come in once every two weeks, wouldn't that lift your burdens and free you to concentrate on caregiving?
Don't panic when people don't see eye to eye. Disagreements happen; not everyone will feel the same course of action is the correct one. Explain that there are many options available for COPD treatment, and your loved one will be exploring lots of them.
Action steps
Work your way patiently through difficult decisions. Let everyone bring his or her opinion to the table and be heard, but don't feel the need to reach consensus.
Make sure everyone has the most up-to-date information, and remind everyone what the doctor advises. Go through pros and cons. Once you've made a decision, stick to it long enough to give it a chance to work.
When complaints and criticisms come up, try not to be defensive. But set boundaries so it doesn't get personal. If a family member disagrees with something you're doing, let him or her take responsibility for coming up with an alternate plan or solution. Try to keep everyone focused on the practical side of things and keep things from becoming personal.
When there are big decisions to be made, call a family meeting so everyone feels included. Family conference calls can help include those who don't live close by. Setting up a family e-mail list can help streamline communication and share news.

Daniel Craig and wife Rachel Weisz have won a battle to preserve a tree their neighbors wanted them to cut down.
The James Bond actor, 48, and his 46-year-old spouse had been embroiled in a dispute after their next-door neighbors complained the roots of an 80-foot plane tree in the back garden of the couple's $5 million London mansion were damaging their home.
Officials from Camden Council have now issued a Tree Preservation Order, saving the towering tree and another similar one on their property from the chop.
Explaining officials decision to issue the preservation order, a council spokesperson told the Camden New Journal newspaper, "The plane tree is considered to provide a high level of amenity and to make a positive contribution to the character of this part of the conservation area.
"The trees in the rear garden provide a screen between neighboring properties, and are visually important viewed from the School nearby."
Daniel's neighbors had petitioned the council to force the star to remove the tree as its roots were causing cracks in the walls to their home.
According to editors at the local newspaper however, council officials disputed the claim that the tree was the cause of the cracks, placing the blame on a sewage pipe instead.
The Hollywood power couple also proposed an alternative solution to the dispute by offering to cut the trees back in a bid to placate local residents.
Some locals had sided with Rachel and Daniel and launched a campaign to save the tree from the axe.
Colin Jacobson told the Camden New Journal, "The tree is a vital part of our landscape in Camden Town, and too often trees like this are lost as a precautionary measure to satisfy insurers, not because of hard facts."

Reaction Rate Demonstrations
Lesson 7 of 17
Objective: SWBAT predict and observe rates of reactions of various chemical demonstrations, and explain their choices in terms of the Collision Theory of chemical reactions.
Big Idea: The rate of a reaction is controlled by the number of properly aligned collisions between reactants who have enough activation energy.
This lesson comes two days after the Collision Theory Gizmo jigsaw. In the day in between, students took their reaction rate quiz, and worked on revising their Alka-Seltzer investigation posters as needed. That pause provided me a chance to assess where the classes were, and decide the next step.
Since the quizzes were sub-par, I decided to revisit reaction rates and collision theory via a series of demonstrations.
- Mossy zinc with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid
- Glow sticks in water baths at different temperatures
- Lycopodium powder combustion
- Decomposition of 30% hydrogen peroxide with and without a catalyst
I am hoping that the whole class talk through and a structured sheet to record their results on will help students break misconceptions and be ready for our unit exam the following Monday.
I have deliberately chosen to exceed the performance expectation below and include surface area and catalysts as I believe they are equally important to understand. I do not include pressure as we have not dealt with gases at all this year, so students would not have the prior knowledge to process pressure efficiently. Our district assessments are limited to discussions of temperature and concentration effects only, as per HS-PS1-5.
This lesson aligns to the following standards:
- HS-PS1-5 Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.
- Science and Engineering Practice 6: Constructing Explanations
- High School Scale, Quantity and Proportion Cross-Cutting Concept: Some systems can only be studied indirectly as they are too small, too large, too fast or too slow to observe directly.
- High School Energy and Matter Cross Cutting Concept: Energy drives the cycling of matter within and between systems.
For each demonstration you need the following:
- 6 pieces of mossy zinc, approximately the same size.
- 3 large test tubes.
- Test tube rack.
- 3mL each of .1M, 1M and 6M HCl.
- 3 identical glow sticks
- 3 400mL beakers to make an ice bath, room temperature water bath, and boiling water bath.
- 300mL water per beaker.
- Hot plate
Surface Area:
- Wire gauze with ceramic circle
- Small pile of lycopodium powder (white flour works as well, but less dramatically)
- 3cm Mg strip as fuse
- Crucible tongs
- Ring stand and Ring clamp
- Large tray to catch excess lycopodium powder
- Two large test tubes
- Test tube rack
- 20mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide, 10mL per test tube
- Microscoop of Manganese (IV) oxide
Reaction Rate Demonstrations
When the period begins, I return student quizzes, and explain that students can correct their quiz outside of class for half credit on the questions they missed.
When students ask how they did overall, I explain that there are some gaps we need to fill in prior to the unit exam on Monday. I have a student pass out the Collision Theory and Reaction Rates Demo notes sheet to all students. I ask students to immediately answer the top two questions, defining a rate and listing the three aspects of collision theory.
I enter attendance while the students are writing, and then we capture their responses on the board. I explain that the students will see four reactions today, each representing a change that can be made to a chemical reaction to affect its rate.
I begin by refreshing students on the concept of concentration, that it represents how strong, or how much chemical is dissolved. I then demonstrate the effect of changing concentration on the rate of reaction using mossy zinc and 1M and 6M hydrochloric acid.
When students are done with their observations, we connect it to the collision theory, and draw in how a chemical at high and low concentration would appear. This is a student sample.
Next, I set up the demonstration to investigate the effect of changing temperature on the rate of reaction within glow sticks.
Again, we connect it to the collision theory together, and show how a higher temperature results in more molecules having the required activation energy.
To explore the effect of changing surface area on the rate of reaction, we have to go to the back of the lab. I perform this demonstration under our exhaust fan, and over a large plastic tray to catch any stray lycopodium powder that escapes the flame. This demonstration can be done with flour as well.
This student sample shows the temperature graphs, as well as their conclusions on how surface area changes connect to the collision theory.
I tend to talk more about surface area, as the inverse nature (large piece is low area compared to many small pieces) can confuse students. The go-to example I use is human digestion vs snake digestion. Since snakes swallow food whole, the stomach acid can only work on the outside, but since we chew our food into smaller bits, the acid acts faster and we digest faster.
Last, I demonstrate the effect of a catalyst (manganese dioxide) on the rate of the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide.
Students can readily see how fast the reaction happened, and think since it was exothermic and steamed that catalysts provide extra kinetic energy. I ask the students who investigated catalysts on the Gizmo to explain how it helps molecules fit together or break apart; improving the alignment of the particles in the reaction.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
At the conclusion of the demonstration analysis, I pass out the Reaction Rate Review. I give students the remainder of the period to work on it, as well as the first 15 minutes of the following day.
After I check in the reviews, we go over them as a whole class to ensure everyone is correct and understands each part. Students are incredulous about the idea of surviving underwater due to low temperatures, so I share this recent story of a Utah toddler who survived a similar accident, although she was not submerged. This article on the mammalian diving reflex is also good for students who are really interested in the topic.
I give the Kinetics Study Guide to students after going over the review. This allows students to organize their papers to study over the weekend, and provides a link to a set of online flashcards I made using the Flashcard Machine. I made these to provide an additional study tool to help students prepare for the exam.

canadian authorities have arrested a 15-year-old for allegedly perpetrating a four-hour long denial of service (dos) attack on cnn.com on february 8, 2000. the dos attack was similar to the attacks perpetrated on other sites such as yahoo!, ebay, and amazon. however, it appears that the 15-year-old, who goes by the name "mafiaboy," was merely copycatting the original dos attacks that disrupted web usage for several days in february.
mafiaboy is not being named, as he is a minor under canadian law, and he faces up to two years of juvenile detention and a ca$1000 (us$675) fine. his computer equipment has all been confiscated, and he cannot use a computer unless supervised for academic purposes. mafiaboy was caught because he bragged about his actions in an internet chat room.

rob's opinion
the reuters story quotes janet reno as saying:
"i think that it's important first of all that we look at what we've seen and let young people know that they are not going to be able to get away with something like this scot-free. there has got to be a remedy, there has got to be a penalty."
well, if she's talking about this specific attack, that's fine. however, if she is trying to blame "young people" for the entire group of denial of service attacks, then she's way off base. the perpetrators who started the initial denial of service attacks have yet to be found. where's the remedy there? so far, they've outsmarted the fbi.
reno should think a bit more before making such blanket statements. for all we know, the perpetrators of the initial attacks were 50-year-olds. and, whoever they were, they probably aren't going to go bragging about their attacks in any chat rooms.

|Hermana Josie & Hermana Green
Hello everyone!
This week was great. Thanksgiving was wonderful! I hope you all had a great week as well.
On P-day we made our own Thanksgiving dinner! It was great. It got us excited for actual thanksgiving. Hermana Santamaria was excited to try," a true american thanksgiving" haha.
I had my first zone conference this week! Elder and Hermana Gonzalez ( Elder Gonzales is from the 70) came and visited us and talked to us about how we can be more effective in missionary work and gave us amazing advice. The sisters from our zone sang,"Asombro Me Da" (I Stand All Amazed) for the conference as well so that was cool too. Elder Gonzalez talked about how The Book Of Mormon is the most effective tool for missionary work and went into detail about that. It was a great day.
|Zone Conference with Elder & Hermana Gonzalez
I officially have three months in the mission! It was the same day as Thanksgiving! Fun fun fun. We ate at three members houses and I have NEVER been so full in my entire life. But the food is wonderful! Sooooo good. One of the highlights is flan de calabasa. (Pumpkin pie flavored flan.)
Thanksgiving night, we went over to a members house to eat. We ate at Lohary's and after we had dessert with them, we had a little Noche De Hogar(family home evening) with their family. Orlando, her husband, isn't a member, but he knows a lot about the church. We had our lesson ( I even got to play piano for it!), and we went around the table sharing three things we were grateful for. The lesson was filled with tons of laughter and love for the gospel and the blessings we had because of it. At the end of the lesson we bore our testimonies, and when it came to me, I remember looking at Orlando and was just pleading in my mind that he would feel something. I remember being so grateful for everything I had. After the lesson, Lohary drove us home, and as she was driving she talked about something changed in Orlando tonight, and Hermana Bird asked her at what point did she see that change in him happen, and Lohary said," During Hermana Green's testimony. His whole countenance changed. He was tearing up and he turned and looked at me and I knew that he knew it was true." I was shocked. I was the person who knew the least amount of spanish in the room, and yet, I moved him the most. The minute we got inside our house I immidiately went into our room, knelt down, and said a prayer of gratitude. I was so overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for the opportunity I have to be here in Puerto Rico. It was a very humbling experience that I'll never forget.
We fasted again this a couple days ago, praying that we might be able to set a baptismal date with our investigators and that our menos activos would come to church. Sylvia, one of our menos activos, came to sacrament meeting, and last night we had a lesson with Leunani. We taught her about the restoration, and she was amazed with the gospel. We surprised with a Book of Mormon for her and Alexis and she was SO HAPPY. We had written our testimonies in it and Hermana Josie's little brother, Easton had written one in it too, and sent it to her to give as a gift. Hermana Josie also included a picture of a temple from California, and one from Utah(since she's from utah and I'm from california). Leunani was so happy. She was so excited to start reading. Then the time felt right,Hermana Josie looked at me, and I extended the baptismal invitation... and SHE SAID YES! WE HAVE A BAPTISM FOR HER SET ON CHRISTMAS EVE! (which is the same day I'll have four months in the mission) She quickly responded, saying," I've actually been thinking about that a lot, and was thinking about that the whole time during our lesson. I remember my mom reading the Book of Mormon, and she shared with us experiences on how she would always pray about a decision she needed to make in her life and how she always found it there. I remember my mom's baptism too, and I remember thinking it was so beautiful and I wanted the same thing. I would love to get baptized" I thought my heart was going to explode out of happiness. Best Christmas present I will have ever received.
Thank you for all your love and support, it really means the world.
Love you all!
-Hermana Green
A snippet from Herman Green's letter to her Mom & Dad
I wrote all of my exciting news in the group email. But it was a great week. I met a couple of girls this week that reminded me of my cute 3 nieces. Miss them. I put up their pictures in my room that they drew me. so cute.
heres a cool spiritual experience for ya: So one day last week after the zone conference I just got so overwhelmed and didn't feel like I was doing all i could as a missionary. I just started crying to Hermana Josie and she gave me some advice and asked me to ask Heavenly Father how he sees me, so I did. The next night, right after Lohary told me that it was because of ME that Orlando's heart changed, I immediately heard the words as if it was spoken directly from Heavenly Father in my head," THIS is who you are. You are my daughter. This is who you're becoming, and this is why you're here." My heart was so full. I LOVE being a missionary. At times it's not easy, and when you have bad days, it feels like your whole world is falling apart. But then I remember the little things, and I just get right back to work.
How fun to hear about all your experienes this week. Thank you for the great advice. Feed the elders whenever you can! It is so nice when members are nice and do that. It makes our day.
I have to go, but thank you for everything.
I love you both very very much!

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
The first week of August is upon us, ushering in late summer and thoughts of days spent having barbeques in our backyards, spending time by the beach, or hiking with friends through windswept fields. Whatever your favorite summertime pastime may be, one thing ties all these different memories and the landscapes that accompany them together – grasses.
Tall grasses are almost synonymous with summer, whether in windswept sand dunes, in fields of swaying grass blades, or as the soft "green carpet" some of us spend all year tending. Our love for grasses and the multi-seasonal interest they offer is what gave rise to the popularity of ornamental grasses. Whether in botanical gardens or backyard home gardens, they offer structure and texture to a planting bed throughout the seasons.
The High Line's planting design is infused throughout with several varieties of grasses or grass-like plants. They fulfill one of the most important aspects of our design: year-round interest. One grass variety that stands out the most and becomes more and more impressive as we near fall is the cultivated variety Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah,' commonly known as Shenandoah red switch grass. Panicum virgatum belongs to the Poaceae family, which is the fifth-largest plant family, containing more than 10,000 domesticated and wild species. It is estimated that grasslands comprise 20% of the world's vegetation and span several of the globe's biomes. Plants in the family Poaceae are often considered to be the most important of all plant families to human economies. It includes the staple food grains and cereal crops grown around the world, such as corn, wheat, and barley. It also includes turf species, forage grasses (which are crucial for livestock), and even bamboo, which is widely used for construction throughout East Asia.
Panicum virgatum, a warm-season grass, is native to North American prairies stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah,' a cultivar discovered by Hans Simon in Germany from seedlings of Panicum virgatum 'Hanse Hermes,' was introduced to North America and became a huge hit for its amazing burgundy color that makes it a great substitute for the exotic Japanese blood grass (Imperata cylindrical).
'Shenandoah' red switch grass became quickly valued as a popular ornamental grass for its erect form creating a three- to four-foot clump. In spring, its foliage starts out with a bluish-green color, then quickly starts to pick up hues of burgundy. In summer, these burgundy hues are accented by airy reddish-pink panicles that rise a foot or two above the foliage. Its pinkish plumes turn beige as the seeds mature in fall, along with its foliage, creating a great contrast during the winter months. Here at the High Line, many of our other varieties of plants – including the few varieties of Panicum virgatum – are cut back in early spring to allow for the remnants of these plants to create winter interest.
Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' and other cultivars of Panicum are typically very hardy and tolerant plants that not only offer multi-seasonal ornamental interest but have utilitarian and ecological use as well.
Panicum prefers full sun and moist, organically rich soil, but can forgivingly tolerate partial sun, heavy clay to sandy soil, and dry slopes to boggy areas. It is even tolerant of coastal conditions, including salt spray and high winds. This wide spectrum of tolerance to different types of environmental conditions makes it a great choice for water or rain gardens. Its dense rhizomatous root system and drought tolerance make it a great choice for sloped beds or swales to help control erosion.
Furthermore, as a native species of grass in North America it serves as a great host plant for local birds and other fauna, which is another good reason to not cut back the plant's growth until early spring. In the garden it is best presented when planted in groupings or sweeps and fits perfectly anywhere from perennial beds to naturalized gardens and meadows.
When visiting the High Line you can spot this plant between Little West 12th Street and West 14th Street ,as well as between West 17th Street and West 20th Street.

DALLAS — Rex Ryan stepped off the charter that landed here yesterday afternoon and wasted no time quenching the thirst of a parched national media.
"Obama, the bleepin' Jets are comin!" Ryan bellowed.
Because of additional security measures in the wake of Spygate II, Ryan and Jets players were forced to endure a 45-minute wait at baggage claim, where Antonio Cromartie told a reporter for TMZ: "Even at the Super Bowl you got a—hole baggage handlers." When the reporter asked when the mothers of his children would be arriving, Cromartie snapped: "You're an a—hole too."
That was enough for Joe Namath, back in Florida on Twitter and broadwayjoe.tv, to send out the word: "The Jets will beat the Packers, I guarantee ya."
What galled Packer Nation was when Fireman Ed hopped atop Ryan's shoulders, both of them now wearing cheesehead firehats, to lead a raucous J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS! chant in the midst of several hundred horrified onlookers.
When the Jets bus pulled up at the team hotel, the sight of Woody Johnson and Ryan dressed as bellhops had everyone doubled over in laughter. Until, that is, Buddy took a swing at a valet who bore a striking resemblance to Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and had to be restrained by hotel security. The infuriated hotel manager came out and warned a startled Johnson: "You take a swipe at one of ours, we'll take a swipe at two of yours."
The owner, clutching his green tie proudly, responded: "We don't care if you hate us. Just don't ignore us."
As Rex, clad in his black sleeveless sweater, began strolling into the lobby, he was greeted by a quartet of petite middle-aged barefoot women holding up identical signs that read: I HAVE PRETTY FEET TOO. "Not like my wi … " Rex began, before Jets PR man Bruce Speight quickly shot his left hand up to cover the coach's mouth.
A much larger group of teeny boppers, behind a green and white barricade, shrieked uncontrollably when a smiling Mark Sanchez, his black beard filling in nicely, stepped off the bus, and held up signs that read: MARK WILL YOU MARRY ME? After getting his room key and checking in, Sanchez was seen exiting the hotel, his offensive linemen in tow, and hopping into a limousine driven by Braylon Edwards to the Blue Goose, a Mexican restaurant recommended by Ines Sainz. At the end of a gluttonous meal fueled by mojitos and margaritas, Sanchez picked up the gargantuan tab . . . and signed it to Mark Brunell's hotel room.
At his first formal press conference with the national media, Ryan was asked about the matchup with the Packers.
"They beat us 9-0," Ryan barked. "It's personal."
He was asked by a reporter from the Green Bay Press-Gazette about facing a franchise with such a storied history.
"How many Super Bowls have the Packers won since Super Bowl II?" Ryan asked. "One," the reporter responded.
"Well, the Jets have won one since Super Bowl II, too," Ryan said.
Then, turning to the New York media, Ryan said defiantly: "Same Old Jets, back in the Super Bowl."
In a brilliant motivational move that set the tone for the entire week, Ryan had Mike Tyson address the Jets with a compelling the-bigger-they-are-the-harder-they-fall speech that ensured not a single one of them would defy Ryan's daily 4 a.m. curfew.
That night, Ryan and Mike Westhoff headed over to the Blue Goose and when the check came, one of them mischievously signed it to an imaginary hotel room guest named Sal Alosi.
On Media Day, and on the big podium, Ryan was asked by another reporter from the Green Bay Press-Gazette why he didn't take his team to see "Lombardi" on Broadway.
"I didn't want them realizing what a dumb-(bleep) coach I am," Ryan said, and everyone laughed.
Then Ryan's competitive juices began flowing, and he said: "I'm here to make sure there's no 'McCarthy' on Broadway next year. This game is Rex Ryan versus Mike McCarthy."
In what was intended as a compliment to Lombardi but wound up on the Packers bulletin board, Ryan said: "I know one thing: McCarthy won't have his team prepared like Lombardi would have."
Asked about the oddsmakers establishing the Packers as five-point favorites, Ryan said: "I believe we should be favored over the Lombardi Packers."
Ryan reiterated that Darrelle Revis should have won Defensive Player of Year honors in 2009 over Charles Woodson.
Santonio Holmes, asked by wave after wave about why the Steelers traded him, set a new Super Bowl week record for "next question" answers.
Nick Mangold set a new Super Bowl week record for tweets.
Sanchez told Clay Matthews stories from their USC days and vice versa.
LaDainian Tomlinson, Westhoff, Tony Richardson and Shaun Ellis talked about their first Super Bowl experience, after all these years.
Bart Scott, after two days of calculated rants, developed laryngitis, much to the media's chagrin.
As for the game itself? C'mon, use your imagination!

By Stephanie Gallman, (CNN) — The Richmond International Airport in Virginia was evacuated Tuesday morning due to a "serious threat" received by phone, according to the airport's Twitter account.
Sweeps with police dogs were under way. Parking decks were clear, and passengers could access their vehicles and leave the airport, the airport said.
Passengers whose flights have been disrupted should contact their airline for rebooking options, the airport's Twitter account said.
