Katelyn Moats '19
Hometown: Maryville, Tenn.
Katelyn's career goal is to become a surgeon. She is majoring in biochemistry at MC and enhancing her medical school applications with employment and internships at hospitals and medical centers. Classes like animal physiology and organic chemistry – and the critical thinking skills they require – have prepared her for the work. During the summer of 2018, working with MC alumna Ravyn Thompson Duncan '15 at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Katelyn helped get an experimental drug ready for clinical trial. "My summer research in the pharmacology department at MUSC gave me hands-on experience working with cancer cell lines and experimental drugs," she said. "This research directly related to my future endeavors."

Jessica C. Jones, 25, was found with a gunshot wound to the head in an Arlington residence on April 8 after officers received reports of an assault with a weapon. She was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, where she died the next day. The suspect initially reported to Arlington police that Jones was shot by an unknown person from inside a dark blue Dodge Neon. However, a witness later told Arlington detectives they saw the suspect enter the garage during a fight and then heard a gunshot. A handgun was found in the nearby bushes. The suspect was arrested by officers from the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force and booked into the Snohomish County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder with a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm. The suspect is well known to officers, police said, and has prior convictions for assault, robbery, burglary and unlawful possession of a firearm.

One of the Eagles' (4-6) biggest defensive stars suited up Sunday despite a knee injury while their biggest offensive star sat once again with broken ribs.
DB Nnamdi Asomugha was active while QB Michael Vick was out of action for the second straight week as the Eagles took on Tom Brady and the Patriots at Lincoln Financial Field.
Asomugha was carted off the field Thursday after hyper-extending his knee. But an MRI revealed the injury wasn't as severe as first thought and Nnamdi gave it go against Brady's fearsome pass offense.
Fellow CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was inactive despite trying out his injured ankle Friday at practice. Also inactive on the defensive side of the ball were DE Brandon Graham and DE Phillip Hunt.
On the offensive side Vick was out giving Vine Young the start for the second-straight week. Also sitting out was injure WR Jeremy Maclin. With J-Mac out, Riley Cooper and his glorious hair got the second start of his career.
Also inactive were OL King Dunlap (concussion)and OL Julian Vandervelde.
For the 7-3 Pats four starters were out -- CB Devin McCourty (shoulder), S Patrick Chung (foot) LB Brandon Spikes (knee) and OL Dan Connolly (groin). WR Chad Ochocinco was also inactive with a hamstring injury.
Also inactive were LB Dane Fletcher and QB Ryan Mallett.

Ordinary people do not need assault weapons, says US defence secretary
ONLY soldiers need armor-piercing bullets or assault weapons, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has told troops at a military base in Italy.
Wading into the US gun debate, Panetta was asked by a soldier what President Barack Obama would do to protect U.S. school children from gun violence without infringing Americans' right to own gun.
He replied that action was needed after the Newtown massacre in December in which a gunman killed 20 children and six adults.
He told members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team at Vicenza that there were areas where steps could be taken.
"I mean who the hell needs armor-piercing bullets except you guys in battle?"
In the aftermath of the Connecticut shooting - the latest mass killing in the United States on a list that includes Columbine in 1999 and Virginia Tech in 2007 - Obama launched the biggest U.S. gun-control push in generations.
He asked Congress yesterday to approve an assault weapons ban and background checks for all gun buyers.
Panetta, who is on a week-long trip to Europe, was President Bill Clinton's chief of staff when the United States banned the sale of assault weapons in the 1990s.
"Unfortunately that ban went out of effect," he said.
He added that he was an enthusiastic hunter.
"I've been duck hunting since I was 10-years-old. I love to hunt and I love to be able to share that joy with my kids. But for the life of me, I don't know why the hell people have to have an assault weapon."
Panetta said the administration must take measures to protect children from gun violence at school.
"I think this can be done. I think steps can be taken that will not undermine the Second Amendment and at the same time try to protect some of our schools so that the nuts that are out there won't use these kinds of weapons to wipe them out," he said.
The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives Americans a legal right to own firearms.

The Bull-One is a fighter-bomber biplane from the Turn A Gundam series.
One of the main aircraft making up the military forces of the Inglessa Militia, squadrons of Bull-One fighters and bombers were the first to engage the mobile suits of the Dianna Counter when they arrived on Earth. The small biplanes however were no match for the weapons and armor of the mobile suits, with a number of the planes being destroyed or vaporized by the energy weapons.
Despite their failings, the aircraft continued in service with the Militia in its war against the Moonrace.

Environmental Stress-Responsive Gene Expression Mediated Through Heat Shock Transcription FactorEPA Grant Number: GF9500923
Title: Environmental Stress-Responsive Gene Expression Mediated Through Heat Shock Transcription Factor
Investigators: Santoro, Nicholas
Institution: University of Michigan
EPA Project Officer: Hahn, Intaek
Project Period: September 1, 1995 through January 1, 2000
Project Amount: $27,732
RFA: STAR Graduate Fellowships (1995) Recipients Lists
Research Category: Fellowship - Health , Health Effects , Academic Fellowships
This proposed research project seeks to understand environmental stress-responsive gene expression mediated through Heat Shock Transcription Factor (HSF). This project will involve the following three components: 1) a study of the DNA-binding properties of HSF to different stress-responsive promoters using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay to determine the relative binding affinity, and chemical cross linking reagents to determine the multimerization state of HSF; 2) map the sites of phosphorylation on HCF in response to different cellular stress; 3) determine the importance of the phosphorylation of HCF in regulating stress-responsive gene expression in vivo by constructing site directed mutations in the HCF phosphorylation sites and replacing the endogenous copy of HCF with each mutated HCF. Cells expressing the mutationally altered HCF molecules will be tested for their ability to activate CUP transcription in response to heat and oxidative stress. For the first research goal, DNA binding studies will be performed using DNA sequences that are naturally found in stress responsive promoters. CUP and SSA promoter DIAS in the gel shift analyses will be compared in these DNA binding studies. For the second goal, yeast cells will be treated with heat or oxidative stress both of which are known to activate CUP, and cell extracts prepared. These extracts will be used for in vitro phosphorylation assays with the purified HCF, and the sites of phosphorylation will be mapped and compared to control extracts which were not exposed to stress. The third goal will be undertaken once the sites of phosphorylation are mapped. Then the project will construct site-directed mutations in each site and determine the importance of phosphorylation of HCF on the activation of gene expression in response to environmental stress.

Trees help shape the look and feel of any and all landscapes. They are perennial and woody plants, growing very tall in most cases. While there is no official minimum height, it is generally accepted that a plant that grows past a minimum of 5 or 6 meters is considered a tree. All trees also have secondary branches growing away from the trunk. There are many trees in the world that are thousands of years old, making these species some of the oldest living things on the planet.

As helpful as drones can be, they can be harmful as well. Just ask the firefighters who were responsible for fighting the Lake Fire just south of Big Bear.
In the middle of the firefight, an inconsiderate drone operator decided to fly his UAV into the the active firefighting operation. When drones fly in, firefighting aircraft get grounded, and fires spread unchecked.
Last summer, a rogue drone flying into the Lake Fire south of Big Bear grounded firefighting operations, allowing the fire to spread and prompting calls for new laws to regulate the budding unmanned aerial vehicle industry.
By now, everyone should know you don't fly your drone into a fire. If you are still unclear on this fact, then you probably shouldn't be operating a drone in the first place.
In this particular instance, it's even more frustrating than usual because the city of Big Bear recently invested in drone seminar focused on clarifying local rules.
Earlier this month, Big Bear City Airport staff went to Riverside for a seminar on drone rules, a gray area which officials across the state and country have been working to clarify. Following the seminar, the Federal Aviation Administration did just that Dec. 14, announcing that hobby drone operators must register their unmanned aerial vehicles.
Learn the rules that govern drone operation in your locality before you fly. You don't want to end up paying a fine or worse. If you are unsure where to start, then let Drone Universities help. We've been training commercial drone operators for over two years.
About Big Bear Lake
Big Bear Lake is a unique mountain resort community located 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles and surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest. About 21,000 residents make their home here full-time.
Altitude ranges from 6,750 to 9,000 feet and there are over 300 days of sunshine each year. Summer temperatures average around 80 degrees during the day, and 45 degrees at night. Winter brings about 100 inches of snowfall, and temperatures which average in the low 40's during the day, and mid 20's at night.
Pine and oak forests flourish in Big Bear's alpine environment; the area provides a natural habitat for approximately 30 wintering bald eagles and 29 species of rare plants, ten of which are indigenous to the area.
Big Bear Lake itself is a fresh water lake seven miles long. The average width is 1/2 mile, with a maximum depth of 72 feet and over 22 miles of shoreline.

There's more despair than harmony in Xbox Live Arcade download Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair, as Konami's platformer gets co-op multiplayer.
If Konami are serious about keeping the Castlevania name relevant then at some point they're going to have to make a new game. They keep pretending they have, but this is clearly just Symphony Of The Night repackaged for the nth time. It's certainly unusual packaging, but unfortunately that's unusual in the 'badly thought out and incompletely realised' sense of the word.
Hopefully retail game Lords Of Shadow will be the reboot the series has long needed but in the meantime this tries to turn the existing 2D platformers into a strange co-op style online title. Even though the game brings together a number of the series' most famous protagonists there's no storyline whatsoever.
Instead you're offered up just six maps to explore, which appear (semi-appropriately given the classic horror style atmosphere) to be stitched together, Frankenstein-like, out of bits of previous games. The debt this owes to Symphony Of The Night on the PSone isn't mere inspiration, like every 2D game since this reuses many of the exact same sprites.
The gimmick here is that you can view the whole map at once, with your character reduced to an inch high flea jumping around the various rooms. If you've any sense you'll zoom in the action to a normal level, zooming back out again only to check your surroundings (and other players if not on your own).
The basic platforming and melee combat is the same as ever, although the various characters all have a different set of abilities. Alucard has his vampiric transformations, Soma Cruz can absorb monster abilities and Shanoa is able to grapple between sparkling hooks. The controls are horribly sluggish for all of them though, as if the halls of Castle Dracula are coated in strawberry jam and they're having trouble making headway.
You can find extra items and equipment as you explore, as well as new melee weapons and abilities. The range is impressive – from grenades to magic spells – but this is the only respect in which the game maintains Symphony Of The Night's role-playing elements. The stats are only there to be augmented by your equipment and can't be improved simply by gaining experience.
This is not a problem in itself since the earlier games in the series had none of those aspects either. However they did have much more involved platforming and combat, with the usual hit and run tactics sufficing here for everything but the overly hard bosses.
Not only does this game lack the depth of recent titles but it also has none of the atmosphere either. Since you can see the whole map from the start nothing comes as a surprise and there's little sense of the clearly defined, themed areas that is usual for Castlevania.
Up until this point the game could've just coasted along as a shallow but amiable co-op adventure. For reasons of either insanity or alcohol abuse though the game's difficultly level has been ratcheted up well above any modern game in the series. Health recovery items are like gold dust and death means going all the way back to the main menu and starting again.
The only silver lining is that you do take your money and equipment with you, which can be used to buy items from a shop only available between games. This essentially leads to level grinding in order to become powerful enough to beat the bosses, thereby negating the point of removing experience points in the first place.
Things are easier with friends of course but in the first few days of operation we've found the multiplayer mode extremely unreliable and prone to crashing (plus there's no drop in/drop out option). Although optimistically trawling Xbox Live for partners is still preferable than the tiresome purgatory of having to play the game alone.
Multiplayer Castlevania always sounded like an unlikely idea and once the novelty of the giant map is gone all you're left with is a dull, frustrating sideshow. Despite Konami's necromantic powers even they can't force such an old game into such an inappropriate new role. Dracula needs new blood.
In Short:The corpse of Symphony Of The Night proves far too putrefied to work as a co-operative platformer, as Konami once again avoid making a genuinely new game.
Pros:The huge scale of the map is a clever novelty, especially when you have six people jumping around on it. Good mix of different abilities between characters.
Cons:No levelling up and yet you still end up level grinding to get anywhere. Tediously difficult, sluggish controls and too much recycled content. Only six levels.

Don't know why this issue has been closed here when tons of people including me are having this issue. I have had a support call a year ago and they helped reset but the issue still didn't go away. The weird thing is that it only turns off when using the native apps. The TV stays on when playing from Shield tv or Apple TV.
btw, mines KS8000 65 inches.
This is seriously annoying, should have just bought LG oled instead.
Is this issue happening on the mu8500 model as well? Was thinking of buying it .
Don't buy it! It might last until after the Warranty. Then u are left holding the bag! From what I see this issue has been on a few different M# of Tv's
The same here. The help center was no help and has been pushing it off as a new issue. When u can see here that it isn't! And as I see the problem seems to happen not long after the factory warranty runs out.
It seems to me that they are just pushing the issue under the rug until they are forced to address it.

BEST solution to most out of warranty samsung failures.......BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND, samsung is now a chinese made brand with poor quality control, now known for weird problems and failures. Sorry Samsung, I used to be a loyal customer, now I'll be avoiding the samsung brand like the plague, especially after being a repair tech for your kitchen appliances and seeing the death rate of those.
Hello SAMSUNG..
My TV UN55KS8000 Software 123.1
Is having this PROBLEM AGAIN!.and its only been a Year!!.Randomly it will Turn itself Off while the Samsung Logo Light will Flash continually,Remote wont work while this is Happening also. I spoke with Support and did all the NONSENSE Steps..

Investors remain cautious pending the presidential election
Investors will likely move cautiously ahead of an eventful week of data releases and the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 8. Given the political events over the weekend, the tail risks associated with the possible election of the Republican candidate does carry with it the possibility of a market upset, which will likely curb risk-taking appetite of market participants ahead of the plebiscite.
There is a heavy slate of first-tier data that will be published this week including the Federal Reserve (Fed) policy decision, monthly employment report, an update on the national manufacturing outlook, overall service demand and total vehicle sales. Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer will participate on an International Monetary Fund panel discussion in Washington this Friday, while investors will observe 244 fresh quarterly earnings reports this week. On a global basis investors will observe the Q3 2016 and October employment reports from Canada, euro area Q3 2016 gross domestic product, inflation data and United Kingdom manufacturing sentiment, all this week.

Boys Rule at the 2017 Eleuthera District Spelling Bee Competition
(Eleuthera, Bahamas) – The atmosphere, during the penultimate round of the 2017 Eleuthera District Spelling Bee Competition was electric, as parents, teachers, coaches and other students watched the three final competitors duke it out for bragging rights as the best speller on the island. Although, the audience had to remain as quiet as possible, many leaned forward with bated breath, not wanting to miss the pronunciation of each word, and the exhales as each competitor moved forward through the stiff competition, were almost audible.

Phantoms fight hard in losses to Ash Fork, Rock Point; Lady Phantoms split
Originally published Tuesday, January 1, 2019 at 08:00a.m.
Originally published Tuesday, January 1, 2019 at 08:00a.m.
GRAND CANYON, Ariz. — The Grand Canyon Phantoms took two tough losses before the winter break, bringing their record to 4-8 for the first half of the season.
In the game against Ash Fork Dec. 20, the Phantoms came out strong, keeping the score even and going into halftime down by one point. They spotted the Spartans seven points in the third quarter before pulling even again in the fourth, but were unable to overcome the deficit and lost the game by just 8 points, 60-52.
Junior Melakai Longhoma torched the Spartans for 21 points and 12 rebounds, keeping the Phantoms energized and competitive. Senior Aleryn Reid contributed 14 points and three steals, followed by Rufus Keebahe and Elijah Dugi with six points apiece. Defensive specialist Keebahe hauled in six rebounds and went 4 of 5 from the free throw line.
The Phantoms traveled to Rock Point the next day to face the Cougars on their home turf. Although the Phantoms got off to a slow start, ending the first period down by 10 points, they pushed back in the second quarter, heading into the locker room down by 11 at the half. The Cougars edged the Phantoms in a strong third quarter, but the Phantoms came back to even the scoring in the final period. It wasn't enough to cut into the first quarter's deficit, however, and the Phantoms lost 66-49.
Reid took the team on his shoulders for the entirety of the game, running over the Cougars for 32 points, including going 6 of 9 from beyond the arc, and grabbing six rebounds. Longhoma, Keebahe and Cordell Bob contributed a total of 17 points, although Longhoma and Keebahe crashed the boards for a combined 24 rebounds, more than half of them offensive.
Lady Phantoms defeat Ash Fork, fall to Rock Point
The Lady Phantoms came out solid against the Ash Fork Lady Spartans Dec. 20, defeating their conference rival 59-38 at home. The Lady Phantoms never trailed in the game and built up a comfortable lead in the first quarter, going on a 14-4 run over the Lady Spartans.
The Lady Phantoms kept the scoring consistent throughout the game, overcoming recent third-quarter scoring slumps in favor of a sustained offense. Sophomore Savannah Longhoma led all scorers with 17 points and also contributed five offensive rebounds, three assists and four steals. Maria Dugi scored 11 and Cayli Miles nine points, with six other Lady Phantoms on the scoreboard in single digits. Alana Keebahe and Kara Austin provided a strong presence in the paint, pulling in 12 and 8 rebounds apiece.
The Lady Phantoms suffered their fourth loss of the season, losing a tough game to the Rock Point Lady Cougars on the road, 64-55.
Rock Point surged early, outscoring the Lady Phantoms 23-13 in the first period and going on an extended 18-4 run in the second. The Lady Phantoms came out of the locker room ready the play in the third, trading baskets with the Lady Cougars before running away 20-5 in the final frame. The team was unable to recover from the damage done in the first half, though, and the Lady Phantoms were defeated by 11 points.
Miles led the scoring charge for Grand Canyon, producing 22 points and going 7 of 16 from the floor. She also contributed five rebounds, three assists and four steals. Austin and Keebahe pounded the boards for nine rebounds each with Keebahe also posting up nine points. Longhoma drained 14 points for the Lady Phantoms, along with grabbing nine rebounds of her own and going 100 percent from the free throw line.

Poughkeepsie plan
The Poughkeepsie plan or Faribault-Stillwater Plan was an arrangement contrived in 1873 in Poughkeepsie, New York, to satisfy both the desire of American Catholics to educate their children in a Catholic environment and their preference to have schooling paid for with public funds.
The arrangement was worked out between Father Patrick F. McSweeny and the Poughkeepsie School Board.[1] From the 1840s, the school board rented almost all rooms and buildings used as schools in an effort to keep costs low.[2] Over the decades, the school board rented several churches on weekdays and sundry other kinds of buildings, including theaters that stood vacant during the day and disused factories.[2]
In 1873, Father McSweeny, rector of St. Peter's parish and its parochial school, approached the school board with what historian Benjamin Justice calls "an offer it could not refuse," the use of two newly renovated parochial school buildings for the rent of $1 per year.[2] The school board would pay for all school operating expenses and repairs.[2] The parish would retain ownership of the buildings and complete use of them outside school hours.[3]
The arrangement was that the school board hired nuns belonging to the Sisters of Charity, who taught wearing their habits.[1][4]
For his part, Father McSweeny agreed, "No religious exercises to be held, nor religious instruction given during the school hours."[1] The schools were formally non-sectarian, admitting children of all faiths, but in practice, they were attended by the children of Catholic families.[1][2]
From the perspective of the city, the virtually-free buildings meant that the schools cost only half what other public schools cost to operate.[2] The Catholic parents and church were pleased because the school board agreed to define the school day as running from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.[2] In practical terms, that meant that the 8:45 morning prayers took place before school hours, a short prayer was held after the official morning session ended at noon, a 30-minute period of religious instruction took place after the lunch hour but before the school day resumed, and a closing prayer was said after the school day ended.[2]
A Catholic newspaper, New York Freeman, condemned the plan as a watering down of true Catholic education.[2] Most of the negative responses, however, came as part of the broader debate over America's common schools from people committed to the idea that having all children attend the same public school was an important way of Americanizing the children of immigrants.[1][2] Historian Benjamin Justice was unable to discover that there was any opposition in Poughkeepsie itself.[2]
Archbishop John Ireland of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis admired the plan and put it into effect in two towns in his diocese, Faribault, Minnesota, and Stillwater, Minnesota.[1][5] Because Ireland was regarded as dangerously liberal by the predominantly Catholic Church of the era, his support for the Poughkeepsie plan probably helped crystallize Catholic opposition to the model.[1]
In 1898, the New York State Superintendent of Schools ruled the plan illegal. The plan ended when he threatened to cut off school funding to Poughkeepsie.[4]

Taxation of international executives
Swiss income tax legislation is divided between federal and cantonal laws. Federal tax laws apply to the whole of Switzerland, but those of the cantons are only valid within their respective territories. In addition, municipalities and, in certain cases, churches have the jurisdiction to levy taxes. Switzerland has 26 cantons.
An individual's liability to taxation in Switzerland is based on the concept of residence. An individual resident in Switzerland is taxed on his/her worldwide income.
An individual who moves to Switzerland and takes up employment is subject to Swiss income taxes from his/her date of arrival. However, if a double tax treaty or Swiss internal law provides specifically for taxation by the country of source (such as on income from real estate situated abroad, income from a permanent establishment situated abroad), the exempt income is only taken into consideration for the purposes of determining the applicable tax rate (exemption with progression).
Non-residents are subject to taxation on certain categories of income from Swiss sources.
The multi-layered tax system means that there are no average tax rates. Taxes can only be calculated based on the specific circumstances of an individual based on the applicable cantonal and communal tax laws.
The maximum effective federal income tax rates rise to is 11.5 percent of taxable income. The various cantonal and municipal rates are also levied on a progressive scale, with a maximum combined rate (the highest of which is approximately 44 percent). In addition, social security taxes may be payable.
The official currency of Switzerland is the Swiss Franc (CHF).
Herein, the host country refers to the country to which the employee is assigned. The home country refers to the country where the assignee lives when he/she is not on assignment.

The Impact of Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager
Microsoft recently announced that Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) will be released in Q4 of this year as a stand alone product. An article in Network World has the details of the pricing. There has been a lot of news lately in the virtualization world. Microsoft with the release of Hyper – V and VMware with the CEO replacement. What is interesting about VMM is that it is another announcement and data point in this interested chess match between the two companies.
By allowing VMM to be a standalone product it allows people that only want to manage virtual environments able to purchase it at a price that has not been increased because you have to buy other parts of System Center. The idea being you win over the VI Admin and it embeds Microsoft even further. VMM also manages Hyper-V, VMware and Xen. If you go to System Center you can manage physical as well as virtual. While the virtualization technology of VMware is ahead of Microsoft the reality is that there will probably be heterogeneous environments in many companies. At some point people will want to manage this from one location. Microsoft is not aiming to manage virtualization they are aiming to manage the datacenter. They want the OS, virtualization, management – everything. This battle will be fought on many fronts – technology, price and management.

Marissa Mayer has faced a great deal of criticism for her decision to end remote work at Yahoo!, despite the fact that many at the company acknowledged it was a big issue.
According to Tom Gimbel, CEO and founder of LaSalle Network, a Chicago-based staffing and recruiting firm, not only was it the right decision, the critics are off base. It's been turned into a "jobs issue," about taking away workers' privileges or disdaining working mothers, when it should be about a company that's in deep trouble.
"They're viewing this as a jobs issue, that somehow Marissa believes that working remotely is bad," Gimbel said. "What this is, is a corporate turnaround and a culture change for a broken company."
Everybody is looking to Yahoo! like its some kind of trend-setter or that Mayer's taking a personal stand against remote workers. But it's just a reaction to their particular issues. "If she had gone into Yahoo! and they were the leader instead of at the bottom of the category, it wouldn't be an issue.' Gimbel says. "It's an issue because Yahoo!'s been a laggard for a long, long time and needs a culture shift."
When an entire company's struggling and needs to change its culture, you need their physical presence. "Camaraderie is built by working together. You wouldn't have a basketball team and have 5 players working in separate gyms on their jump shots." Gimbel said. "They might be better shooters but they wouldn't know how to work together."
No one would argue that they would rather not have their best people in close proximity to their bosses and colleagues. "That's just not a logical thought process," Gimbel says.
It's a mistake to focus on what's being taken away, Gimbel argues. Mayer's actually giving people something: the chance to help save the company. She wants the people who are truly committed, her best people, all in the same place at the same time helping to transform the company.

Nowadays, education is an ever improving area due to the technologies that arise on the go, aiming to make the learning experience a worthwhile, engaging one. But besides the fast rhythm in which teaching tools are emerging, one major aspect still needs to be taken into consideration – teachers. How do they keep pace with this tempo and adapt to it in order to make technology a partner ?
Debating this topic was the team behind the Connected Educators Month (CEM), held all through October 2014. CEM is an initiative that started back in 2012 and this year topped its third successful edition. Its main purpose: to explore the ways in which educators engage online to learn and improve instruction.
If you have never been part of a professional community or network the Connected Educator Month Starter Kit is a great place to start getting to know the whole happening. The kit includes relevant tips, tutorials, and ideas that will help you along your professional-learning journey, no matter where you're starting from.
Throughout October, the community event reached teachers everywhere on topics about blended learning, collaboration and capacity building, along with subjects like creating opportunities for students to be agents in their own learning. Find out more about the debated topics right here.
The central theme though – that engaged educators communities worldwide – was that of discovering and applying methods which connect educators to new, approachable and exciting ways to transform their practice. So let's dig in the main takeaways from CEM on how to become a connected educator.
Tweet your knowledge away
It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of educators around the world are currently using Twitter to connect, share and collaborate. Start out by adding your @name Twitter to your email signature, voicemail or school website. Create a class Twitter account for your students to tweet from. Launch a blog for your Twitter chat so that you have somewhere to post your topics and questions and your students can prepare beforehand. After the Twitter chat, choose and announce the "tweet of the week" for the best tweet during the session. This will surely encourage students to produce quality tweets.
Connect with online communities
Collaborating with colleagues from the same branch is a great avenue for discovering new insights on how to approach teaching and technology. Sharing your experience with different tools and giving advice on how to handle them better shortens the way to improved results. You can team up with a colleague to observe and evaluate each other's practice or use online forms to write and track your overall activity. Choose the community that best fits your improvement needs from the list sorted by the CEM staff.
Invite parents to join the conversation
Involving parents in the whole teaching-learning-rediscovering education process can bring valuable insights into student behaviour. You can set up a class website in order to keep transparent and provide parents with information or gather feedback about the improvements students are making. Tools like Remind, let you stay in touch with parents via texting and keep them posted about test, events or other classroom activity.
Ask for feedback
Being part of your students learning process means not only offering the materials and evaluate their acquired knowledge. You can improve next teaching experiences by just letting them voice their feedback on the lesson or on the overall teacher performance. Showing that you care about their input and are open to make the necessary changes for a more operative environment will surely stir up engagement.
Share your work
Start your teaching blog and give your teaching beliefs a written voice. With so many ed blogs out there, make sure you join the conversation in a relevant way so that you can bunch up and engage your audience. Learn to first listen to the ed bloggers community, get to know the main topics discussed and jump in with your part of know-how. Edutopia shares an amazing collection of resources, tips, and examples to help you get started!
These are just a few highlights of the simple and efficient ways in which you can connect. But go on and try out further well known tools and adapt them to your classroom needs. Connect through Skype in order to collaborate with other classes. Share your project ideas on Pinterest or use Feedly to curate all the valuable infos you lay hands on. Create a system that permits you to connect the dots between technology and pedagogy in a meaningful way, the connected educator way.

Alan Anderson is a good scout, literally.
As a boy growing up in Owatonna, he rose through the scouting ranks, ultimately achieving Eagle Scout status. He then spent most of his professional life providing that same opportunity to several generations of boys who followed.
Of course, his path meandered a bit. He started at Gustavus Adolphus College and finished a Wildlife Management degree at Oregon State University. He joined the National Guard and then coordinated a community recycling program in Corvallis before moving back to Minnesota and marrying. He owned and operated a book store in St. Cloud for five years before selling it and moving into scouting.
Alan served as a scout executive in St. Cloud, Denver, St. Paul, Rockford, Ill. and then finished his career as Area Director of Central Region for Boy Scouts of America, while living in Northfield.
Scouting prepares boys to be leaders by giving them responsibility and coaching them along the way, Alan said. He sees a lot of overlap between the Scout Law and Rotary's Four-Way Test. The Scout Law starts with the Golden Rule, he said, and teaches young men how to apply it.
Alan and his wife, Debbie, have two children. Marty is a pilot, and Jenny works for Arrowhead Energy. She's the one with their granddaughter, Lucy.
He enjoys camping, running and outdoor activities. He also is a good resource for those who want to know more about climate change and ocean acidification.

It was the ides of November when an intrepid crew of Brown alums and pre-alums (children) joined forces at Sherman Elementary School to mulch, plant and paint. Over the course of the morning, these heroes transferred and truckload of soil into several planting beds and covered the entire garden area with several truckloads of mulch. Karen Wei '04 worked with school children to plant the beds with organic seeds. Lisa Rothstein '82 painted a mural on the garden shed.
The timing could not have been more perfect; Right after the community service event, the winter rains started and the garden was saved from being engulfed by a jungle of weeds.
A big thanks to our tireless volunteers!

It's important to lead a healthy lifestyle. To achieve this, you need to exercise regularly and consume healthy food. Most importantly, your choice of food matters a lot, since numerous foods today contain cancer-causing agents. For this article, the purpose is to examine top ten common foods that contain carcinogens and should be avoided at all costs.
Canned tomatoes
BPA is chemical that is normally present in the lining of the canned foods. Canned tomatoes are highly dangerous, thanks to the high acidity that seems to make the BPA leech from the lining of the can inside the tomatoes.
Farmed salmon
Farmed salmon is contaminated with too much chemicals, antibiotics, pesticides, and other cancer-causing agents. Furthermore, these fishes are fed unnaturally. Hence, it's advisable to avoid the farmed salmon. Make sure you look for labels in the grocery store confirming the fish you're purchasing is wild sockeye salmon.
Processed meats
Processed meats are laden with chemicals and additives, which together with sodium nitrates that give them the fresh and appealing look, are extremely dangerous.
Soda pop
A recent research published by the American Journal of Nutrition show that individuals who drink more than one soda every day are more prone to stroke, compared to individuals who don't take soft drinks.
Microwave popcorn
Microwave popcorn contain a chemical known as Propyl gallate, which is responsible for various skin rashes and stomach complications. They also contain soybean oil, which is a GMO product, as well as several other additives.
Highly salted, pickled, or smoked foods
Smoking foods, for instance, causes them to ingest considerable amounts of tar the smoke produces. Who doesn't know that tar is a cancer-causing agent?
Foods like bologna, bacon, sausage, and meats have very high salt and fat content. These kinds of food tremendously increase the higher rates of stomach malignancy as well as the danger of colorectal cancer.
Genetically modified organisms refer to foods that have been grown and modified using chemicals.
Potato chips
Besides being very high in calories and fats, potato chips also contain various additives that can be harmful to our body. In addition, the frying of potato chips in extremely high temperature results in the formation of acrylamide, a carcinogen agent that is also found in cigarettes.
Refined sugars
Malignant cells love refined sugars. German Otto Warburg, the 1931 Nobel laureate in medicine, discovered that tumors and cancers both utilize sugars to "feed" themselves and, hence, to increase in size.
Red meat
Recent studies show that red meat is notorious in causing colon cancer. One study revealed that long-term consumption of red meat increased the amount of colon malignancy set up in the study participants.
Therefore, you need to take good care of yourself and your family by eliminating these foods from your diet. Consider buying more organic and healthy food if you want to live a longer and happier life.

I wish I were there today, but I am grateful that somehow it seems that Los Angeles is making its own tribute to Boston in the form of the weather.
I find that indulging in nostalgia too often can lend itself to missed opportunities to love the place that you are in the present, so I try to reserve those moments for when they are truly deserved. Today, in honor of the best day of the year for athletic tradition in Boston I felt it appropriate to reflect on how much those streets really do mean to me.
Many of my best moments of thought and reflection were spent walking the streets of Boston. The only time I have come close to that out here is on the beach walk from Santa Monica toward Venice just at the start of sunset. It's magnificent and calming and reminds me to be enormously thankful for the blessings that allow me to live here.
But that was how I always felt when I walked through Boston. Even in my hurries. Even when rushing through traffic to get to the Garden for work or after a 30-minute adventure trying to park on Hanover Street. Once I was there and free from the maddening frustration of being on wheels in Boston, it was damn near impossible to be upset about anything.
It did something special for my consciousness. I found a special type of peace whenever I walked the city, whether I was by myself or with others.
I viscerally remember my ambles along the ocean in the seaport or past the Italian cafes in the North End. I loved navigating the cobblestone streets on Beacon Hill and near Faneuil Hall or strolling the tree-lined streets and brick of Newbury St. I even liked pushing my way along the crowded pub-filled sidewalks of Landsdowne and Yawkey.
This may sound like a bunch of poetic memory that has been generously rewritten in my mind with time and 3,000 miles. I promise you that it's not. Some of it I'm sure can be credited to the fact that I was young and vibrant in my enthusiasm for being on my own in one of the greatest cities in the world. But I'm still young and vibrant so I know it wasn't just that.
I felt it as a teenager, taking the commuter rail to the Patriots and Red Sox parades. I felt it as a college kid, celebrating my 21st birthday at Fanueil Hall and taking buses from my college campus to the bars near Causeway Street. I felt it when I'd go to the theater district to see a show with my mom or to the TD Garden to watch the Bruins with my stepdad.
I stood by myself in line for a concert at the House of Blues, attempting to go over the bizarre circumstances of my relationship in my head after I'd been ditched by my off-again boyfriend. It was the type of moment that generally would've forced me into a cab on my way home to drink wine and cry. Yet standing in an alley staring at the ugly backside of Fenway Park's walls while sound check murmured behind the closed doors was a quintessential Boston-music-fan moment for me, and it made me feel calm and grateful.
It wasn't just the thrill of being in the big city. It was just Boston.
One of my last memories of walking through the city before I moved was parking just around the corner from Fenway Park and walking to an academic building on the Boston University campus as a guest speaker about life as a young professional in sports media. It was the culmination of a lot of important things in my life, just as I was about to embark on a massive new journey.
I remember the exact shade of grey of the pavement on the sidewalk, and the faint waft of pub food from the bars around the corner. My heels were killing my feet. Once my ego had been fed by a bunch of enthusiastic college kids I went to meet my friends for dinner at a Mexican place nearby.
Yes, I believe my last meal in the city of Boston before I moved to Los Angeles was at a Mexican joint. How apropos.
It was one of the only times I can remember not loving my walk through Boston, because I knew it would be one of my last for a while. It was bittersweet.
The streets of Boston, the heart of the people running in them and lining their sidewalks and the history of this day are powerful. It is an experience that is inimitable, just as the city itself is. I have been away long enough now that these memories have become important keepsakes. I had them tucked them away in a safe place so I could take them out when I want to feel a little piece of "home."
I took them out for the first time today. Thank you for taking that trip back home with me. I love you always, Boston.

How to Interpret a Correlation Coefficient r
In statistics, the correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables on a scatterplot. The value of r is always between +1 and –1. To interpret its value, see which of the following values your correlation r is closest to:
Exactly –1. A perfect downhill (negative) linear relationship
–0.70. A strong downhill (negative) linear relationship
–0.50. A moderate downhill (negative) relationship
–0.30. A weak downhill (negative) linear relationship
0. No linear relationship
+0.30. A weak uphill (positive) linear relationship
+0.50. A moderate uphill (positive) relationship
+0.70. A strong uphill (positive) linear relationship
Exactly +1. A perfect uphill (positive) linear relationship
If the scatterplot doesn't indicate there's at least somewhat of a linear relationship, the correlation doesn't mean much. Why measure the amount of linear relationship if there isn't enough of one to speak of? However, you can take the idea of no linear relationship two ways: 1) If no relationship at all exists, calculating the correlation doesn't make sense because correlation only applies to linear relationships; and 2) If a strong relationship exists but it's not linear, the correlation may be misleading, because in some cases a strong curved relationship exists. That's why it's critical to examine the scatterplot first.
The above figure shows examples of what various correlations look like, in terms of the strength and direction of the relationship. Figure (a) shows a correlation of nearly +1, Figure (b) shows a correlation of –0.50, Figure (c) shows a correlation of +0.85, and Figure (d) shows a correlation of +0.15. Comparing Figures (a) and (c), you see Figure (a) is nearly a perfect uphill straight line, and Figure (c) shows a very strong uphill linear pattern (but not as strong as Figure (a)). Figure (b) is going downhill but the points are somewhat scattered in a wider band, showing a linear relationship is present, but not as strong as in Figures (a) and (c). Figure (d) doesn't show much of anything happening (and it shouldn't, since its correlation is very close to 0).
Many folks make the mistake of thinking that a correlation of –1 is a bad thing, indicating no relationship. Just the opposite is true! A correlation of –1 means the data are lined up in a perfect straight line, the strongest negative linear relationship you can get. The "–" (minus) sign just happens to indicate a negative relationship, a downhill line.
How close is close enough to –1 or +1 to indicate a strong enough linear relationship? Most statisticians like to see correlations beyond at least +0.5 or –0.5 before getting too excited about them. Don't expect a correlation to always be 0.99 however; remember, these are real data, and real data aren't perfect.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, the rookie sensation of the 2011 National Football League season, has spent most of this year bemoaning his team's frustrating losses. That is until Monday night, when gridiron Cam-a-lot was revived in Philadelphia with a 30-22 win over the fast-falling Eagles, losers of their last seven games. Newton was his old self, scoring four touchdowns, two on passes and two on rushes, and generally looking unstoppable. To test your knowledge of Week 12 NFL developments, take this 15-question quiz.
