Rword Intro
The document summarizes a meeting at Atascocita Middle School to kick off their Erase the R-word Campaign. A guest speaker from the local Special Olympics team spoke about her involvement and the sports offered. Students then learned about the meaning of the R-word and pledged to erase it from their vocabulary. The school held a fundraiser called "Put a lid on the R-word" where students could pay $1 for a sticker and wear a hat to support the cause. Their initial goal was 200 signatures but after one week they already had close to 600 signatures pledged to erasing the R-word.
Life and technology
The document discusses life support technologies and their pros and cons. It describes several medical technologies used to support failing organ systems, such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal systems. These include medications, pacemakers, artificial hearts, dialysis machines, and artificial respiration. While such technologies can help keep people alive and facilitate organ donation, they come at high financial and emotional costs. The document concludes that we should not keep people alive too long using life support and should focus on those who truly want to live.

Robots will perform dangerous tasks like spaceflight and rescue missions. Computers of the future may use light instead of electricity to process information faster. Conceptual future laptop designs include ones that change form or add scents. Computers could also be controlled through eye movements instead of mice or keyboards.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

South africa water shortate
By collecting used cell phones and mp3 players, $2 will go towards clean water tanks called Jojo's in South Africa to help address the water crisis. Over 34,000 people die daily from water-related diseases worldwide. In 2008, 5 million people in South Africa still lacked adequate water supplies and 15 million lacked basic sanitation. The water crisis is severe, as every 8 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease and half of all people in developing nations suffer from such diseases.
Life and technology
The document discusses life support technology and its pros and cons. It describes different types of life support used to sustain the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal systems. While advances in medicine have increased lifespans, life support is costly and does not ensure quality of life. It should only be used when the person may recover and has a chance at a productive life, not when there is no possibility of recovery. Life support is useful for maintaining organs until transplantation.
Presentation RuChip Pte Ltd
The document describes an ultra low-power microprocessor called RuChip being developed by a company in Singapore. It aims to solve the problem of inefficient search servers by developing a specialized processor optimized for search applications. The key parts of the processor are a general purpose block based on ARM/Atom cores for low power and a network processing block to optimize bottlenecks in search engines. The company aims to validate the design through a proof-of-concept and target the growing search server market led by companies like Google and Yahoo.
Table Tennis Slideshow
The AMS Table Tennis Ambassadors had two practice sessions playing table tennis with kids from Special Olympics at their school. The ambassador students took turns playing so everyone got a chance, while the special athletes played the full 25 minutes each session. They also had visits from Elaine and her expert sister Christine, and after two sessions everyone was enjoying and looking forward to more table tennis practice.

It describes different types of life support used to sustain the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and renal systems. While advances in life support have increased lifespans, it is expensive and does not ensure quality of life. The author's view is that life support should only be used if the person has a chance of recovery, as it does not improve quality of life and is a financial burden if the person will not wake up. Life support is acceptable to sustain organs for transplantation from brain dead patients.
