Mom and immunization
I heard from a classmate that she contracted hepatitus vis needles during immunization. Mom was so careful about us. Thanks mom.

Differentiation
During the meeting, I recommended that we put students in appropriate courses instead of putting them in higher math courses.
Someone said, "Then you will find minorities put in lower courses and white students in higher courses".
I asked, "Are teachers biased or white students are smarter?"

每天半碗薏仁 可抑制癌細胞
更新日期:2009/04/12 22:07
吃對東西，真的可以越吃越健康。薏仁不但可以消水腫，專家研究還發現，每天吃半碗薏仁，可以抗癌，薏仁上的麩皮，能夠抑制大腸癌和肺癌細胞的生長。(非常好的研究，可是中醫在千年以前就知道了，所謂甘淡滲利為陽，所以薏仁就是屬陽，陽虛之後才現陰實，民眾每天吃這陽性食物，自然不會陽虛，就不會有陰實了。)
夏天快到了，吃下一碗冰冰涼涼的薏仁，健康又吃的飽。以往被認為有消除水腫作用的薏仁，其實功效不只如此，台大教授進行長期的動物實驗，發現吃糙薏仁的麩皮，罹癌率可以大大降低。
薏仁是穀類，可當主食或加入米飯烹煮，如果換算體重六十公斤重的成人，每天只要吃半碗份量，大約六十公克的糙薏仁，就可以預防大腸癌、肺癌，並抑制癌細胞的生長。(這是對人類非常有貢獻的研究。)
一般人喜歡選購大顆、進口的薏仁，但大部分都已去除麩皮，不如本土糙薏仁營養有效，不過薏仁畢竟是食品不是藥品，要有耐心持之以恆的吃，對健康才有幫助。(記者陳美喬、蕭鈺燁報導)
超好的研究
請專家們多多做些這方面的研究，這才是對人類最有貢獻的研究，本草經言 : 甘淡滲利為陽。病變的過程就是先陰虛，而後陽虛，經年陽虛的結果就會出現陰實，而陰實就是得到癌症的意思了，所以按照中醫的理論，如果可以在陽虛的階段就下手治療，將陽虛補足，就沒有陰實了，所以按照中醫的理論，所有能補陽的食品或是中藥，都是可以預防癌症的。

Jobs That Will Never Go Away
Jobs That Will Never Go Away
Accountant As long as there are taxes, there will be a need for skilled accountants to work with clients, helping them keep their books in order.
Computer Support SpecialistIf you thrive on helping your friends and family solve their computer woes, consider becoming a computer support specialist. With computers playing such an important part of daily life, computer support specialists provide their clients much needed technical assistance. As a computer support specialist, you will meet with clients in person or answer questions remotely, via Internet, or on the phone. Many computer support specialists either have a bachelor's degree in computer science or an associate's degree in a computer-related program. In 2007, computer support specialists made an average annual salary of $45,300, according to the BLS.
Entrepreneur To be an entrepreneur you need to be an independent, outgoing risk taker as you establish your own business or company. Although it may be hard to know whether a business will succeed, there will always be a need for a variety of goods and services and businesses to supply them. An online degree in business can help make your dreams a reality, as you earn your associate's or bachelor's degree. Although salaries can vary greatly with the self-employed, small business owners made an average annual wage of $36,000 to $75,095 in 2008, according to Pay Scale.
Mechanic As anyone who commutes or runs to the store knows, we live in a nation of automobiles. If you know the make and model of every automobile that zips by and have an interest in what's under the hood, consider becoming an automotive service technician or mechanic. Automotive service technicians and mechanics diagnose problems with cars and light trucks and fix them. Mechanics need to be analytical, good problem solvers, and willing to work with computerized diagnostic tools and programs as well as traditional tools. You can also specialize in an area such as brakes or cooling systems. Online career training can get you started. Programs range from six months to two years. Mechanics made an average annual salary of $36,480 in 2007, according to the BLS.
Paramedic. Paramedics make life and death decisions, assessing injuries and providing emergency medical care. To be a paramedic you have to be agile, strong, and be willing to work under pressure. Although the hours can be long, many paramedics find great satisfaction in helping others. An EMT paramedic has usually taken courses in anatomy and physiology and completed a one-to-two-year program -- or the equivalent of an associate's degree. Basic and intermediate certification can get you started in this fast paced, much needed career. According to the BLS, paramedics earned an average of $30,870 annually in 2007.
Teacher As long as human beings continue to have children, there will be a need for teachers. If you enjoy working with young children and want to teach, you can make $50,040 on average annually if you are an elementary school teacher, and $52,450 annually if you are a secondary teacher, according to the BLS. Elementary teachers have the pleasure of teaching all subjects. Secondary teachers also get to follow their bliss. By focusing on specific certification areas, secondary teachers specialize in the subjects they want to teach. Many online programs can get you started towards a bachelor's degree in education and certification.
Whatever your calling may be, with the right degree and career training, your career prospects for these much-needed jobs can help keep you from becoming outsourced or even worse, obsolete.

Computer off?
Admittedly I don't think much about it at all. I leave my laptop running overnight because I know it'll take five minutes or more to get things going in the morning -- not just booting up, but launching the various apps I start the day with, downloading my overnight email, filtering out the spam, and otherwise "getting settled."
But all the power wasted while computers are sitting idle overnight adds up, and one study has finally tried to measure it. The tally: An estimated $2.8 billion wasted on excess energy costs each year in the U.S. alone.
On a CO2 basis, that's 20 million tons of carbon dioxide, about the amount produced by 4 million cars on the road.

My letter to board of education
Dear Board Members:
I saw a nice boy who has failed algebra1 five times here at Magruder HS. According to his teacher, he is too low to pass. Although he is a unique person, more students like him are appearing. They are coming from closed learning centers. Their lack of knowledge is a result of excessive acceleration of mathematics in their younger years. Most of them are minority students and they do not see much hope of graduation.
Is it possible to bring MAPS1, MAPS2 back or make new courses in pre-algebra for them? These young folks can actually improve from current levels and become more capable. My own daughter passed high school with MAPS, algebra1, PGA, and geometry.
Best Regards,
Ed Hsu Magruder Mathematics 2/2009
