The District believes reading is an essential ingredient to a successful education. Most disciplines are dependent upon an individual's ability to utilize the information and knowledge acquired through reading. Therefore, it is important that each child be provided with a developmental reading program that is designed to meet individual needs, develop present interests, and create a desire for leisure reading.
Reading instruction is an on-going process. Each teacher must become cognizant of his/her role as a "teacher of reading". Through the involvement of all of the teaching staff we provide the opportunity for the children to develop reading skills with respect to fiction and non-fiction material in a variety of formats. Effective reading instruction will enable students to develop critical reading skills in order that they can judge the truth and reliability of various written materials and websites.
Teachers shall utilize a variety of materials and methodology reflecting the best practices of reading instruction and sound educational practices. The District, through the administration and teaching staff will strive to achieve the following:
1. to begin instruction at the child's current reading level and provide the opportunity for the child to develop to the full extent of his/her ability,
2. to provide the opportunity and environment for the individual to develop and maximize the skills of reading so they may become efficient life-long learning tools,
3. to nurture a desire for reading aimed at producing literate citizens who are aware, enlightened and creative.
4. to develop critical reading skills
5. to read at high school level when students graduate from eighth grade

Just an update...
But I just wanted to say that I will be back, posting again, soon. I've had a lot of stuff going on, a lot of things on my mind, and just a general lack of enthusiasm for anything online related lately.
I'm also currently battling bronchitis and don't feel very well, so as you can imagine I'm not too focused on writing any book reviews at the moment (even though I'm frightfully behind on my reviews!). :(
But like I said, I'll be back soon. I've missed checking out my favorite blogs! :)

I'm going to try herbal supplements
RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
I would watch out for some of those. Most are as useless as homeopathy or even worse. Trick or Treatment goes into this a bit. Some herbal remedies influence the effect of the drugs you are taking as well, and can cancel them out or influence them otherwise in an unpredictable manner. Of course, some work wonders, so all I recommend is consulting your doctor about taking the remedies and doing some research beforehand.
I wish you the best of luck.

RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
Hello there!
Well I'm not a fan of herbal remedies and homeopathy, but if you want to try herbal remedies you should be careful, just because plants are a natural remedy it does not mean that they are 100% safe, some plants are poisonous, or maybe you could be allergic to some plants, if you decide to go on with this you should do a lot of research about plants and see which one could have nasty side effects.
But on the other hand you should look for another doctor, ask for a second opinion, I hope you dont have any serious disease, but you should keep searching for a good doctor in order to get a goog diagnosis and treatment.
I'm not trying to worry or scare you my dear, but I might suggest that you look for an specialist in auto-immune diseases, I hope you dont have one auto-immune disease. I say this because my younger sister was diagnosed with SLE (Lupus) back in 2004, she is doing well now BTW, but I dont want you to go through that hell . Anyway, my best wishes for you. Peace.

RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
Before taking alot of herbal stuff, varify that it's safe from your doctor. Their active ingredients aren't that much different from 'normal' medicine. I don't remember which herbal remedy it was that caused contraceptive pills to lose their effect, but that's not the only harm they can do when combined with other medicine without askign a doctor first.
RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
Those issues could mean a lot of things. Hormones are something doctors often don't think of, but if you have bad levels all sorts of things go wrong. You can ask to have those checked. Also make sure you're taking daily vitamins because often the worse symptoms are missing out on 1 of the vitamins readily acknowledged as necessary.
Any time you're on medications you want to talk to your doctor before self medicating. Other questions are things like are you a caffeine junkie? Caffeine isn't tolerated the same by everyone and occasionally as you get older your body handles it differently. Most likely you need to remove something from your diet not add.
Definitely remember that if your doctor (or any professional you seek counsel) doesn't seem to have an answer for you, that there are plenty of alternatives to that person.
I'm not a non believer, I believe in the possibility of anything. I just don't let the actuality of something be determined by a 3rd party.

What does your diet look like? What is the nature of your exercise?
Herbal remedies do exist, but they are swarmed in a sea of misinformation and claimed panaceas that are actually completely ineffective and a simple money drain.
White willow bark contains a compound called salicin, which is and anti-inflammatory with a similar structure to aspirin (mostly because aspirin was modeled after salicin =P). White willow is more effective of an antipyretic than analgesia or anything else though (save back pain).
RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
I have no idea why you're getting canker soars but they can be the result of some kind of auto-immune issue (I have this problem so this is the one symptom I can intelligently comment on!). If that is the case, then vitamin B is the way to go. Don't overdue it, though. I think I take 300mg at most per a day.
As for the rest of it, get another opinion. Maybe it's Lyme Disease? It certainly sounds like you have the symptoms. Get tested for it.

RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
I appreciate all the feedback, I understand herbal supplements can definitely be hit and miss. I just don't have a good doctor to go to here locally. The last doctor I went to I don't want to go to again, he deals with a lot of low-income patients so his office is always overcrowded and he doesn't spend enough time on his patients.
There are no other decent solutions in my area, I might call around San Jose though
RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
Diclonius, consider doing research on Hyperthyroidism
(Overactive thyroid). It may be part or all of what is causing your symptomology.
Also remember, with regard to herbal supplements, they are medicine. The Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) owes much of it's content to herbs. (White willow bark = asprin. Fox Glove = Tetracycline, Red Clover = blood thinner and far superior to Coumadin. Black Cohosh =natural female hormone replacement and balancing supplement and far superior to Premarin, which is derived from Mares urine! Kava Kava = natural relaxant, etc...) The medical profession has since synthesized these natural medicines so as to create the monster that is big Pharma. As a consequence women suffer side effects from that what many consider superior or safer than Herbs.
Depending on the character of your personal Physician, you stand to find those Doctors who claim herbal remedies are simply a fiction, an old wives tale, and not effective at all.
This is a lie.
I've had patients of two different physicians tell me that that lie is exactly what their physician told them when that patient inquired about natural remedies for their conditions. One woman was on Xanax at the time she made her inquiry. That same doctor that prescribed the medicine then told her, after she'd been on it for over a decade, that she couldn't get off of the medication else she may convulse to death! A nasty side effect that physician failed to mention at the time he prescribed it for her. Tragically, there was nothing herbal that I could dare recommend in it's stead because of that potentially lethal side effect.
Physicians today have very few (if any) hours of training in alternative medicines, or supplements. Any knowledge they do have, is thus afforded their own research into the matter. Keeping in mind that their governing agency, the AMA , has everything to do with what a Physician recommends, prescribes, or advises patients. The AMA is the ultimate overseer in approving anything a Doctor recommends, or prescribes for his/her patient(s), because they're doing so as licensed Physicians controlled by that governing body. And as such, their practice presents liability consequence for that Association should they venture from the approved path governing their practice.
You're best bet is to go to a health food store (Never a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe) and ask someone there if there is anyone who is qualified to recommend an herbal supplement for your health concerns.
Keep in mind that if you are presently on any Pharmaceutical medications, that you want to make that person aware of that, because there can be contra-indications present that would prevent your taking herbs with that medicine. If in doubt after such a consultation, bring a small notebook to that meeting at the health food store and take notes as to what herbal remedies are recommended and then do your own research at home before buying. Keyword search; contraindications ....(insert herb here).
Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. is one of those rare finds, not so much now as a little over a decade ago, who is a qualified classically trained Physician who has also ventured into alternative medicine education. He believes in combining the two disciplines so as to make for a Holistic approach to treatment and healing of the whole person. (Holistic = relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts. )
He has numerous books available on the subject, all of which may be found at virtually any public library. Or if not, ask if you can put in a request for a specific title through their Interlibrary Loan Department).
Well worth the read, imo.
You may want to inquire as to Naturopathic physicians in your area, or even a nutritionist. We are indeed what we eat. If you have food allergies you are unaware of, or if you're diet is off, it will affect everything else about you.
As an aside, "Canker sores" are oral Herpes.
(Aka/ "cold sores" . There is no such thing as a cold sore.
If you get a cold sore while you have a cold, you have herpes. The stress on the immune symptom is simply firing the herpes so it makes an appearance.) Lysine is a great supplement to help retard recurrence, however there is no cure. "Herpanacine" is a very effective combination product remedy that includes Lysine, so as to help bolster the bodies immune system for those who have Herpes. It also helps with chronic skin conditions and is a great blood cleanser (As is Burdock Root and also that Lysine by itself.)
Herbs are most effective in "Standardized Extract" form. This means you're getting the active constituents/properties of that particular herb(s), so that you have the most bang for your buck, sort of speak. Herbs are best in tincture form, preserved with Vegetable Glycerin or superior to that, alcohol* (*about as much as would be found in an over ripe banana and not at all a threat to those in alcoholism recovery).
Tinctures can be added to a cup of hot water, as prescribed on the bottle or by a Holistic Physician, and let to steep for a minute or two so as to be consumed as a tea. This is the fastest absorption rate to the blood stream. (Barring dropping the tincture under your tongue, so that it's properties absorb into the large vein there and immediately into the bloodstream).
The second option is capsule form. Tablets are also available, however they can be with added fillers and they can also be compressed and coated with food grade lacquer so as to keep the tablet shape. Solgar, a vitamin and herb supplement company, uses high compression without any lacquers in order to create their tablets. Capsules are made from vegetable silica.
The rule of thumb for taking herbs is 4 days on 3 days off. This being because like Pharmaceutical medicines, many herbs have a half life and so after you take them they're still working in the body a day or so after. Also, when you take herbs you want the body to have time to assimilate the properties and disperse them where they're needed to supplement the lack of balance and nutrition present in your particular condition. To keep taking herbs everyday overloads the body in this process, and can be one of the causes of adverse reactions or the critique that the herbs just aren't working, when in fact they are, they're just supersaturating the body systems.
Always buy herbs from a health food store, or if you get them from a department store or grocery, make sure you see "Standardized Version" on the label. Anything less can give you stems, leaves, and other parts of the herb(s) and though you'll be getting the herb(s) itself, you'll have to digest all those parts in order to have the effective medicinal properties take effect. Standardized version insures that the medicinal part of the herb(s) is all that you're getting. It's the best version for your money and overall state of health and balance.
Never forget, you're taking a supplement. (As is the case with vitamins). They're intended to be just that. A temporary solution to help supplement what's missing from your natural health and nutrition of the body. Don't become dependent on supplements of any kind. That includes daily vitamins. You should be getting your dietary allowance for that, not feeding the body pills and/or capsules to make up for the deficit every day for years.
Just remember that old adage, which is very applicable when talking about herbs and vitamins. If you don't use it you'll lose it. If one keeps supplementing the body with vitamins and herbs, the body won't have cause to gain it's own strength and sustain it's own nutritional values.
Be wise when taking herbs and vitamins, and you'll be healthier for the effort.
RE: I'm going to try herbal supplements
I agree with BnW, it looks more like lyme disease than Hyperthyroidism to me..

"'On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees from palms, willows and other leafy trees and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.'" Leviticus 23:40
A note to our readers: This week marks the celebration of Sukkot, one of the most joyous celebrations on the Jewish calendar. Throughout this week, our reflections will be tied to this biblically mandated holiday.
Many years ago, I attended a funeral that took place during the holiday of Sukkot. The rabbi giving the eulogy delved right into one of the most popular teachings regarding the four species that we are commanded to bring together on the holiday: The citron, which both smells and tastes good, represents a person who has attained wisdom from the Bible and also performs good deeds. The myrtle, which has a good fragrance but is inedible, symbolizes a person who does good deeds but hasn't learned from the Bible. The date palm is edible but has no smell and thus represents a person who has wisdom but doesn't engage in good deeds. Finally, the willow, which doesn't have taste or aroma, represents a person with neither wisdom nor good deeds.
I expected the rabbi to continue with the typical message that on Sukkot we take all four species together to show that all types of people are important and equal before God. It's a holiday of unity and appreciating each other. However, the rabbi didn't continue his message that way. Instead, he noted that there is a fifth element in the four species. There are the ties that bind them all together. The rabbi explained that this represents a fifth type of person - one who brings all the other types of people together. The deceased had been such a person, and this teaching was a beautiful tribute to his memory.
That lesson has always stayed with me, and it has become a driving force in my own life. There are many types of people in this world, and together we can accomplish amazing things; however, someone needs to be the person who brings different people together. It has been my life's mission to be a bridge builder between Christians and Jews so that we can benefit from one another and join forces to work for the sake of our shared values. The results have been incredible blessings for us all, and together, we have contributed more to God's purposes than I could have ever imagined.
We all can and should assume the role of the "fifth part of the four species." No matter what type of person you are, everyone needs to assume the role of bringing people together. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, or what you know; everyone has the ability to love all people, respect all people, and teach others to do the same. We can all be bridge builders. May the words of Psalm 133:1 be fulfilled through our lives in the upcoming year "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!"
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
Founder and President

Kassian Maritime to pay $1.3 million penalties in magic pipe case
Greek-based shipping company Kassian Maritime Navigation Agency Ltd. pleaded guilty today to maintaining a false record pertaining to the illegal dumping of bilge and wastewater into the ocean from the M/V North Princess, an ocean-going bulk cargo ship traveling to ports in the United States, in violation of the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, under the terms of the plea agreement, the defendant will pay a criminal fine $1 million, serve a term of probation of 30 months, and pay $300,000 to fund community service projects through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
In addition, Kassian will implement an environmental compliance program prevent such violations in the future. A sentencing date has not yet been determined.
In March 2007, Kassian was indicted on charges related to maintaining false records and obstruction of justice, and the North Princess' Second Assistant Engineer, Spyridon Markou, was charged with obstruction of justice.
Kassian pleaded guilty to a count that charged it with maintaining false records in violation of the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships.
Markou pleaded guilty today to an information charging him with making false statements to the U.S. Coast Guard in relation to the agency's inspection of the vessel in November 2006. Markou faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and a term of supervised release of up to three years.
According to the plea agreements, on Nov. 20, 2006, the North Princess arrived in port in Jacksonville, Fla., and was boarded by Coast Guard officials who conducted an inspection to determine the vessel's compliance with national and international environmental laws. The Coast Guard's inspection uncovered evidence that Kassian, acting through its agents and employees, knowingly failed to maintain an accurate Oil Record Book recording all disposals of oil residue and discharges overboard, in violation of federal law.
Second Engineer Markou admitted, as part of his plea, that he made false statements to the Coast Guard regarding his knowledge of the ship's use of an illegal bypass pipe to transfer oil-contaminated waste overboard.
The case is being prosecuted by John Irving, Counsel in the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Richard Poole Senior Trial Attorney in the Environmental Crimes Section, and John Sciortino, Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Middle District of Florida.

Benjamin Pollack's Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology Blog
The following article recounts my experience competing in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology. I've also included information and helpful hints for developing your own research project to enter the Siemens Competition.
I would like to start by encouraging any individual interested in math, science, or engineering to enter the Siemens Competition. The experiences and friendships gained through the entire competition process have been both extraordinary and unforgettable.
Possibly one of the most exciting aspects of being a researcher (besides making great discoveries) is being able to share your passion about science and math with others. When judges who are often the leaders in their respective fields appreciate your work, there is a great sense of accomplishment in knowing that you may have made a difference in how they conduct research or even how they view their field.
I have participated in the Siemens Competition two years in a row and both the number of entries and level of complexity has increased greatly. But don't be discouraged, I have learned through my experience that hard work does pay off.
How to get started?The Siemens Competition requires that you complete a research project. The facilities students use to conduct their research varies. The most common locations are formal research institutions (i.e. universities, research labs, etc.), their schools, at their home, or any combination of these. Either at the conclusion of the research study or when you feel you have gathered enough data to make sound conclusions, it is time to write the research paper.
What are they looking for in the research paper?When you write your research paper, it is important to make your findings clear to the reader so they can appreciate the purpose and significance of your research. Your research can easily get lost in a paper if you don't describe why it is important and have many ways to support it. There are seven key elements to a good paper:
- Abstract – this is the summary of your research. The abstract should introduce the topic of your paper to the reader, tell them what you did, and include your findings. Abstracts are usually short. No more than half a page, single spaced.
- Introduction/Background Information - This is where you want to introduce your research topic to the reader. For instance, if you are doing an evolutionary project using Drosophila, you would want to discuss what Drosophila are and discuss evolution. You may also want to discuss your hypothesis as it relates to the background research.
- Methodology/Procedure – This section should discuss how you conducted your research; it should NOT be in list format or in a flow chart. Try to make this section brief while covering the major points. Something you want to keep in mind is that this section serves two purposes: it shows the reader that you may have developed a new method and it provides the instructions that allow your research to be reproduced by someone else. Science is often validated by its repeatability.
- Results – This is where you want to include graphs and charts about your research. This section should be very factual. Sometimes researchers put their findings in an appendix in the back of the paper. Just remember to stay within the 20-page limit.
- Discussion – This is where you want to discuss your findings. You should talk about why it is important, its implications, and why people should care about your work.
- Conclusions – Like the abstract, this section should be short. It should highlight your key findings. Think of this section as a summary of your results and discussion.
- Bibliography/Works Cited Page – Remember to include a detailed bibliography.
A works cited page lists all of the sources mentioned in a paper, while a bibliography lists all of the sources you used in writing your paper; this includes information gathered for background information. Throughout your paper, include citations whenever you are using information that you got from an outside source.
Note: The Siemens Competition has a 20-page limit for student entries. Just because there is a 20-page limit, doesn't mean that you have to write 20 pages. The average, based on my experience, is 15-20 pages. Make sure that you convey all of the important details in a concise manner. If you start writing to fill pages, the judges will most likely notice your intent; plus, the quality of your paper will most likely suffer.
What's the selection process?
Once all of the entries have been submitted (the deadline is usually the first week in October), the judges at the Siemens Foundation go to work reading all of the entries.
Once all of the papers have been read, 300 students are named semi-finalists. One of my favorite aspects of the competition (and everyone else's for that matter) is that they announce the winners very quickly. The semi-finalists are usually announced by the end of October (usually on a Thursday or Friday). Winners are announced on the website. The next week, there is a huge article in USA Today listing all of the semi-finalists by school and state. They always have a great headline.
A few weeks later, the regional finalists are announced. There are 6 regions and there are five individual winners and five team winners from each region. Regional winners are flown (depending on location) to the respective regional university. Regional finalists create a 12-minute PowerPoint presentation and a presentation display board. The judging day includes a 12-minute oral presentation with your PowerPoint as an aid. Immediately following your presentation, you are escorted by the judges to a private room where you (if you're on a team, then you and your partner) are questioned about different aspects of your research.
In a reception later that day, regional winners are announced. One team and one individual move on to the national competition. Note: Teams compete with teams and individuals compete with individuals.
This year, the National competition was held at New York University (NYU) (Please see my bio for my experience at the National Competition). At the national competition, you are expected to deliver a 10-minute presentation, followed by a private 10-minute question-and-answer session with the judges.
My Experience at the Siemens Competition
Last year I entered the Siemens Competition as a junior. My partner, Heather Casper, and I conducted research involving Dioscorea species and the enzyme Carbonic anhydrase at Stony Brook University under the mentorship of Dr. Geeta. With this research, we were named semi-finalists in the 2004-2005 competition.
I again entered this year's competition as a team. My research partner's name is Abhinav Khanna. I found it quite beneficial throughout the competition process to have a research partner who went to the same school as I did. However, I did meet people at the national competition who had partners on the other end of the country.
Our research dealt with the mating patterns in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila biarmipes. We studied the mating patterns of Drosophila melanogaster between two different geographic locations, mainland U.S. and the Bahamas. We wanted to determine if there was a nonrandom mating preference among the populations. Another aspect of our research was in studying female preference for the wing spot of D. biarmipes.
The results of our research suggest a greater understanding of how traits evolve in almost any organism.
We entered the competition to meet the October 3rd, deadline. Just as a reminder, you need to send entries to Iselin, NJ, so plan to have them at the processing facility at that time. The deadline is a "delivered by" not a "postmarked by" date.
On October 21st, the semi-finalists were announced on the Siemens Foundation website. We were both so excited that all of our hard work had paid off. There is such a sense of accomplishment when you see how others—in this case, judges—appreciate the work you do.
Two weeks later, I checked the website again to see if Abhinav and I had made it to the regional finals, and to our amazement, we did! We knew that our research was pretty amazing in its own right but we never thought we would make it this far. Words can't describe the excitement that we both felt at that time.
We were later told by a representative on behalf of the Siemens Foundation that we would present our research at the Middle States Regional affiliated university, Carnegie Mellon University. The preparation for the regional competition took many hours of work. I remember Abhinav and I staying late at school almost every day from the time we heard about our status in the competition to the time the plane left. We were working on the four components of the presentation: PowerPoint, display board, oral presentation, and preparing ourselves for the possible questions the judges may ask us in the question-and-answer session. When we weren't at school, we were at the lab getting feedback from our mentor and other members of the lab.
When it came time to leave for the competition, we felt ready.
Note: When traveling to a science competition and you need to bring your poster, remember that it is more valuable than your luggage. Never let it out of your sight!
After checking in at the hotel, we were invited to have dinner in a nearby hotel. What a great break from a full day of traveling. What was supposed to be "eat whenever you like" turned out to be a great dinner with many of the finalists. We all happened to have dinner at the same time. It was one of many great opportunities to socialize with the other finalists.
After a day to set up the posters and do a "sound check", came Presentation Day. We were chosen to present first after a lottery held the night before. After we were introduced by the lead judge, we proceeded to the front of the room. The presentation went really well in our opinions. We were amazed that we actually came in under the allotted time. In our practice sessions, we were cutting it close.
Regardless of how many judges or how intimidating the audience is, always remain calm and collected when presenting. A few pointers I have picked up over the past few years is to be wary of such words as "like" or "ummmmmmmmm......." Also, unless you are a mathematician, never say you proved your research. A better way of saying that is that your findings suggest something. While everyone at the competition had their own style for presenting, it is important to remember that you want the audience to first and foremost focus on your presentation. If you use a laser pointer, hold it with two hands to avoid what I call the "fly on the wall".
As for the question-and-answer session the judges were really nice and asked questions that truly pertained to the research. Questions were derived from our paper and presentation and were posed to test the depth of our knowledge. The judges also used this time to clarify any questions they had while reading the paper.
That night, there was a reception at the Heinz Museum. After a chance to tour the museum and have a great dinner, the award ceremony began. The best way to describe this moment would probably be the feeling a singer has right before the Grammy's are announced. The envelope was opened, and the announcer said we were the Middle States Regional winner!! We still couldn't believe it. Before we could comprehend what just happened, we were quickly taken to the lobby where we recorded an interview with CBS and 880 Radio (New York Station).
We had about a month to prepare for the National Competition at NYU. We updated our presentation a little, and modified our display board. A lesson I learned this year is that it is never bad to ask for advice.
For the most part, follow the rule, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" (unless you see a typo or a change that would make the presentation even better).
To our amazement, our school had secretly planned a pep rally for us in the lobby of the building. We were later told that there were over 200 students in the lobby. The officials from the Siemens Foundation were so excited to hear this as their goal is for "American high schools to have as many trophies for math and science as there are for sports". It was so amazing to see a school take as much pride in science as in athletics.
The National Competition had finally arrived. When we arrived in the city, we went to the Darwin exhibit (it was particularly interesting to my partner and I as our research focused on Darwin's theory of evolution) at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. After viewing the exhibit, we returned to the Embassy Suites hotel in downtown NY to meet the other finalists.
At the hotel, there was a welcoming committee from the Siemens Foundation. Abi and I had met most of these people at the regional fair, yet it was still exciting to see so many familiar faces. In a way, it was similar to a family reunion.
The next day we had breakfast at Chelsea Piers overlooking the water. Talk about a Kodak® moment!!!
Following breakfast was a photo shoot that would later appear in USA Today. We felt like stars.
Besides the photo shoot, there was a huge media presence. Make sure to bring your smile. Some of the media outlets, my partner and I were featured on include: National Public Radio (NPR), CBS, NBC, ABC, Satellite Sisters (Nationally Syndicated Radio Show), CBS Radio, 1010 Wins Radio (New York Station), New York Times, New York Post, and The Daily News, just to name a few.
Later that afternoon, the finalists and the director of the Siemens Foundation went bowling and golfing (at a driving range), all at Chelsea Piers (so much fun).
Later that night, the Siemens Foundation held a concert for all the finalists and their families, featuring distinguished past winners of the competition. This was by far some of the greatest music I have ever heard. The students were nationally recognized for their music and came from such universities as Harvard and MIT—very impressive.
The next day, December 3rd 2005, was display board setup and sound check for the oral presentation. This process took most of the day so it was a great chance to review literature and go over our PowerPoint. Later that night, the Siemens Foundation had a public viewing of the different projects. The public was able to ask the finalists questions about their research. As with the regional fair, it was great to see others enthused about the work you have done.
After dinner, the Siemens Foundation had a "HUGE" surprise. They had arranged for the Jumbotron (the large television screens) in Times Square to feature all of the finalists' faces and names for 15 minutes. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
December 4th was judging day. My research partner and I had been chosen to present first again, as determined by a lottery the night before. Very weird, yet exciting.
Our presentation at NYU seemed so much more relaxed than at the regional fair. My advice for presenting is pretty much the same as the regional fair; however, at the national competition, the screen behind you and the audience is much larger. Don't be intimidated by this change.
When the presentation was over, we had a 10-minute question-and-answer session with the judges. While they asked more difficult, or rather, more-specific questions than the regional competition, they had the same pleasant and appreciative attitude towards our research. The judges again wanted to see the depth of our knowledge on the subject area, so they asked questions specific to our research. For example: What are micro satellites? What are isofemale lines?
That night we had a Black Tie dinner at the New York Hall of Science with Siemens executives. The CEO of the Logistics division was at my table, along with a member of the Museum of Natural History.
The next morning, December 5th, was the award ceremony. Press from every major news outlet was there, along with Satellite hookups for interviews after the ceremony. The winners were announced by Peter von Siemens (descendent of the founder of Siemens) from 6th place to 1st place, with the team category going first. My partner and I came in 2nd place, we couldn't believe it. If words could not describe how excited we were at the regional competition, you can only imagine how excited we were when the national results were announced.
Following the ceremony, the reporters interviewed all of us. We kept moving from one interview to another so quickly because the reporters wanted to file the results as soon as possible, so it became difficult to keep track of who was asking what questions. My research partner and I truly felt like stars. I think the pinnacle of the interviews was a satellite interview with a local television station. The four finalists from Long Island (including myself) were equipped with microphones and earpieces. We felt like news anchors!
I hope sharing my experience has given you some insight into how the competition process works and what it takes to compete. I urge you to conduct research and compete in science competitions as it may be one of the most rewarding things you ever do. Research competitions are rewarding because they show you that hard work DOES pay off. There is no greater feeling than having your hard work showcased for others to see. Remember, when it comes to entering science competitions, they are competitions, not contests. What's the difference? Well, competitions require hard work and determination. The end product of competitions is a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. However, a contest for the most part requires "luck." There is usually very little work that goes into a contest. The best examples I can provide are the lottery or a game of Bingo. Although you may feel happy that you won, the sense of satisfaction in knowing that your hard work paid off doesn't compare.
Overall, the entire Siemens competition process was amazing. I met countless individuals, not only at the competition, but since then, who share a passion for science and research. The great aspect of the Siemens competition is that if you are interested in another facet of research besides science, the Siemens competition allows you to enter projects in technology or mathematics.
One of the greatest lessons I gained from this competition was how to better communicate my findings in a more concise and effective way. The most exciting moment was being on stage giving my presentation with my partner and having it broadcast all over the world!
A copy of all the national presentations can be found online at: http://www.mapdigital.com/events/siemens/swc05/students/index.html
I strongly encourage you to enter the Siemens Competition. It is an amazing experience that provides many opportunities.

How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°.
Step 2
Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl; add blueberries, and toss to coat. Make a well in center of mixture. Combine egg whites and next 3 ingredients; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Step 3
Spoon batter into muffin pans coated with cooking spray, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

Excited to find an opportunity! (Heidelberg)
Currently, I'm living in Germany and have been for the past two and a half years. I was previously working on one of the US Military bases in Heidelberg before they shut down.
I came here to visit before I decided to move here and fell in love with the city. I had to stay!
However, now that the bases are closed I'm having a bit of a struggle. I have a language learning visa and hope to continue learning German here until I am more or less fluent.
I wouldn't be above doing anything for work. I just need a foot in the door.
If anyone has advice, or would be willing to help me get my foot in that door, I could never be thankful enough!
Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this. :D

Mandatory Reporting
Nursing student here, and there is some disagreement in our class regarding mandatory reporting. I know suspected child or elder abuse must be reported. But if an adult presents with injuries and confides it is domestic abuse but doesn't want to involve police.....isn't that protected info via HIPAA? Or must you report it to the police as abuse?
Having had a good friend in the middle of a contentious divorce "disappear" 5 years ago and never be heard from again leaves me concerned either way. Mandatory reporting may worsen a situation I have little insight to, but it also may create a history or pattern that is indicative of a problem even if the injured doesn't press charges.
Thoughts, experiences? Thanks

Many nursing hats; from US
Specialty: 2 year(s) of experienceSep 16, '12Each state has their own rules. If someone presents to the ER or Physicians office I do believe you need to report it. Some states now will prosecute even if the victim doesn't press charges. You could always ask the police if they would check on your friend due to your concerns, but if you haven't made any contact in 5 years they might not.Sep 16, '12Here is the difference:
Mandatory reporting is designed to protect those who are UNABLE to protect themselves.
1. A child...cannot exactly pack up and leave, get a job and get out.
2. Mentally handicapped, are particularly vulnerable.
3. Elderly...may have dementia and also, have limited resources.
But the mother who has a husband that goes to work every day and comes home and beats her up? That is a CHOICE. She can call the police herself, she can go to a women's shelter, there are options for her, but it is a CHOICE. This is a free country and if someone wants to stay in an abusive relationship they are allowed to stay in one...however, I would report to social services if they have children, ON BEHALF OF THE CHILDREN, because it is very, very rare that an abuser will be abusing the wife and not the kids and it's not an appropriate environment.
You also do not have to have your employer's permission to report, nor worry about enough proof...that is not for you to decide...if you suspect, you report and let them sort out the legalities.Sep 16, '12Oh, I'm sure my friend is deceased. The police and FBI have been looking for her for years.Last edit by JustBeachyNurse on Sep 17, '12 : Reason: tosSep 16, '12It is varies by state. My state is NOT a mandatory reporting state for DV and IPV. Sometimes mandatory reporting can cause problems in these situations.Sep 17, '12While I understand how mandatory reporting can make things worse, here's how I thought the whole DV thing played out. Woman/man (yes, men can be victims too) comes to ER/clinic/office and you get spouse/significant other/parent/adult child away from them (either sending them on errand or taking pt for a test, etc.) and ask them about DV. If you find that they are a victim of DV, you usually ask them about if they have a safe place to go. If not, then you give them resources (best way to give them a number is to give them a number in an inconspicuous object). Then, you follow the mandatory reporting laws (if you have them in your state).
Children, elderly, mentally handicapped are the most vulnerable. Pregnant women are at pretty high risk too due to possible jealousy that the woman will give more attention to the baby than the abuser.
Jory is right though. There is a choice there. It can be hard though just because the victim loves the abuser and many times they think they'll change. Or fear of retaliation.Sep 17, '12Each state has it's own mandated reporting requirements. We report elder/child abuse, animal bites, gunshots, injuries from commission of a crime. We do not report on knife/baseball bat, or any other type injury. We also don't report domestic violence or rape, which are tough on most of us!Sep 17, '12Mandatory reporting laws vary state to state. The absolute reporting laws for abuse are children, handicapped/disabled, and the elderly. As Jory has already pointed out "adults" in an abusive relationship make a "choice" If it a mandatory reporting issue you are legally obligated to notify the authorities and do not need the permission of your employer......there are state forms made available as well as hot line numbers for immediate action......like the removal of a child from a family situation that puts them in danger.
There are other mandatory reporting laws like for penetrating injuries such as Gunshot wounds and stabbings. In some states your are a mandated reporter for MVC with injuries and alcohol is involved and drawing blood alcohol is mandatory....you can hand the BAL right over to the police in the ED as legal evidence.
In asking the domestic violence question you are using it as a screening tool......you can report the children in danger and offer the adult female services and get them seen in the ED or to call the police to report a crime but there is no official reporting just official asking......in some stares. Now if they come in really beaten up, again depending on the state, it is felonious assault making it a reportable crime. HIPAA does not apply. HIPAA actually makes provisions where crimes are permitted and mandatory reporting occurs that allow you to notify the authorities......but the "need to know" comes into play here. You can notify them of the crime but not reveal other "health" information like they have a substance abuse issue in their past.
I once had a domestic violence case involving a police officer. I mean he really beat the snot out of her......It was obvious felonious assault the police were notified and arrested the offender and pressed charges themselves. She personally never pressed charges. At the trial she did not testify and could not be made to as it was her husband. I was witness for the prosecution....without the wife testifying at the bench trial (smart defense lawyer) the judge ruled not guilty and they handed the abuser his gun right in front of me. He did eventually kill her....sad really.
In domestic abuse cases....it is a fine line. You call social services to speak with the victim and you can call the police to report a crime and to have them speak to the victim when they present with physical harm. You can get services if you think the children are in danger, otherwise you just offer them domestic violence information and a list of shelters.Sep 17, '12I wouldn't necessarily call a woman staying in an abusive relationship a "choice"... she may believe that she has no choice or that if she tries to leave it will get worse. Regardless, a competent adult can make the "choice" to stay in an abusive relationship. Working in pediatrics, I had a few situations over the years where the mother viewed a child's illness as an out and disclosed domestic abuse upon admission. Once it was disclosed, Social Work and the hospital's Domestic Violence program could step in and try to help. BUT, if the woman didn't disclose or did and refused help, there wasn't much to be done. Competent adults can refuse help. I'm fairly certain that my across the hall neighbor at my last building was in an abusive relationship... I'd often hear screams for help when I was sleeping after a night shift, another neighbor would call the police and then when they came, she'd make some excuse and send them away. I always felt odd seeing her boyfriend in the hallway because of the things I suspected but, then again, I didn't know this woman and when people tried to help/intervene, she seemed to jump to her boyfriend's defense. If there were children in the home, I would have called DCF and perhaps more could have/would have been done.

If you mean safe for modded Wiis, then I have no idea. I have D2C, so no modchip for me (yet). Other than that, then yes, it's perfectly safe.

Special Music by Special People, made up of children, teens and adults in the Chicago Park District program for people with developmental disabilities, will make a return performance. Other highlights include African pop artist Oliver Mtukudzi, children's music performers the Swings Sets and Gunnar Madsen, and local grooves from Funkadesi.

STAFF at Nottingham's Theatre Royal have been paying tribute to producer Colin McIntyre, who died in hospital on 3 May, aged 83, following a short illness.
With a career spanning over 60 years, Colin worked with many of the greats of British theatre, including Sir Peter Hall at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Sir Laurence Olivier at the National Theatre, where he was an associate director.
In later years, he developed a close association with the Theatre Royal Nottingham, producing and directing the theatre's annual thriller season every summer since the late 1980s.
Jonathan Saville, the Theatre Royal's director of sales, marketing and development, has worked closely with Colin since 1999. He said: "Colin was an original and a complete one-off. It really was always such a pleasure just to be in his company. He had many friends here in Nottingham and he will be sorely missed by everyone at the Theatre Royal.
"This summer's Classic Thriller season was to be Colin's 23 consecutive year with us. I am proud to say that we will be going ahead with these shows in his memory. Everyone involved in the season had great respect for Colin and this will be our tribute to a much-loved colleague and friend."

Plot: So as not to be a burden on the grandfather who has been taking care of her since her mother died, Tohru Honda decides to try living on her own when her grandfather has work done on his house. When her classmate, Yuki Sohma, and his cousin, Shigure, find her living in a tent on the Sohma family's property, they offer to let her stay in their home, which soon has another unexpected guest, a boy named Kyo Sohma. Tohru stumbles onto the Sohma family's secret when, in a chain of small accidents, the Sohmas all begin turning into animals! (A-)
Characters: Some unique and hilarious personalities (A)
Art & Animation: A-
Music: B
Voice Acting: A-
Objectionable Content: Profanity, suggestive themes. The manga is more explicit, so I prefer the anime.
Other: As hilarious as it is, the anime doesn't get as deep into the characters as the manga does, and the story doesn't feel quite finished by the series' end. However, the manga is a bit darker and also has more explicit sexual themes, so I'd recommend the (cleaner) anime.
Overall Score: A-
Recommendation: 3.5/5

Changing a child's name
Changing the first name
If you decide to change your child's first name(s) within 12 months of registering the birth you can ask to have the original birth registration changed.
There are two different procedures depending on whether the baby has been baptised into the Christian faith or not, but the registrar will explain what you need to do.
The registrar can add your child's new name(s) to the original birth registration and you can buy certified copies of the amended registration.
If you leave it until more than 12 months after the birth registration you need to contact the registrar who will tell you how to apply for a correction. Or you may need to make a Change of Name Deed with a solicitor, but the registrar can advise on this.
Re-registering the birth
If the parents were not married to each other when the baby was born, and you did not both attend to register the birth, you can add the father's details at a later date by re-registering the birth.
Also, if the parents have married since the baby's birth was registered you can apply for a new registration.
Please contact the Register Office on 01274 432151 and they will tell you how to do this.
Correcting a birth entry
If there is a mistake in your child's birth entry which needs correcting, you should contact the registrar who will tell you which documents you need to bring along.
For further information or to discuss specific cases please telephone the Bradford Office or Keighley Office on 01274 432151 or contact us now.

The developers behind the OpenBazaar decentralized marketplace project have announced a $1 million cash infusion from Union Square Ventures, Andreesseen Horowitz, and William Mougayar. The money will be used to fund further development of the free, open-source platform for online commerce.
Free, open trade for all
The point of OpenBazaar is to remove the endless restrictions and high fees associated with currently available ecommerce sites and online payment rails. As lead developer Brian Hoffman put it, "The Internet has decentralized communications, and Bitcoin has decentralized money, but online commerce still relies on numerous intermediaries."
William Mougayar appears to share Hoffman's passion for an open, censorship-resistant platform for online commerce. In a statement shared with Inside Bitcoins, Mougayar claimed, "USV is excited to support and help OpenBazaar and OB1 realize their vision of delivering a free and open marketplace protocol that ushers in a new era of peer to peer global commerce."
Many OpenBazaar supporters may feel that taking on investors could compromise the project's original goals, but it appears that the new backers are supporters of the uncensored trade that will be made possible by the decentralized network for online trade. OpenBazaar development hit a bit of a lull earlier in the year, and this initial round of funding will allow some of the main developers to work on the platform full-time. A new company, OB1, will also be created. The company will offer services to OpenBazaar users.
History will show that Ross Ulbricht's biggest crime was not raising capital from VCs that would've defended his decentralized marketplace.
— Ryan Selkis (@twobitidiot) May 29, 2015
A Silk Road with venture funding?
Although many of the core developers involved with OpenBazaar shy away from calling the network a replacement for Silk Road, the reality is that some people will see it as nothing more than an online portal for drug peddlers. A key difference between Silk Road and OpenBazaar is that the former could be viewed as a more of an online service than software. After all, the Dread Pirate Roberts was collecting a cut of every sale on his hidden service. It appears that the OpenBazaar model will be similar to bitcoin in that the developers cannot be held liable for the actions of their users.
There are certainly clear differences between the centralized Silk Road and decentralized OpenBazaar, but convicted Silk Road Administrator Ross Ulbricht's stated vision with his original experiment of a censorship-resistant online marketplace can also be seen in OpenBazaar. In fact, one could argue that the new network takes Ulbricht's concept to the next level in that there is no central team of moderators who can reject certain products, services, or merchants. There is no ability for the OpenBazaar team to charge fees, track user data, or restrict trade in any way, which creates a completely new paradigm for online trade.
At this time, the OpenBazaar team is inviting anyone to join the development process on GitHub. Roughly 100 developers have contributed code to the project. Whether for legal or illegal purposes, it's clear that plenty of Internet users are interested in an incorruptible platform for free and open online commerce.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senator on Tuesday joined veterans groups in calling for Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign amid claims that as many as 40 people died while waiting for medical care in the veterans' healthcare system.
Senator Jerry Moran, a Kansas Republican and member of the Veterans Affairs Committee, said the Veterans Affairs Department needed a "true transformation ... from top to bottom."
"I ask the secretary to submit his resignation and I ask President (Barack) Obama to accept that resignation," Moran said on the Senate floor.
His call for Shinseki to resign came after the VA secretary put the director of a Phoenix hospital on indefinite leave last week as the department's inspector general probes whistleblowers' claims that up to 40 veterans may have died while waiting for medical appointments.
Two other hospital officials were also put on leave.
Veterans Affairs is the biggest U.S. healthcare system, with
1,700 hospitals, clinics and other facilities. It has nearly 9 million people enrolled.
The American Legion, the biggest U.S. veterans group, and Concerned Veterans for America called on Monday for Shinseki, a former Army general twice wounded in Vietnam, to step down.
Representative Mike Coffman, a Colorado Republican and head of the House Veterans' Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, also urged Shinseki to resign on Monday.
Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, called on the Senate on Monday to hold hearings into the claims, which include a report by USA Today that a VA investigation showed clerks at a VA clinic in Colorado were told to falsify records to show faster treatment of patients.
Senator Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican, also asked Shinseki on Monday to clarify the VA's investigation into the suspected lack of care.
Obama expressed support for Shinseki on Monday and the VA has defended his record.
Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont and chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, has pushed back on calls for Shinseki's resignation.
He said on Monday that firing him "doesn't get us any closer to the truth or solve problems that may exist."
