Now he teaches math to sixth graders in Chicago. Alisa Salvans was a makeup artist at Saks department store. Now she teaches high school chemistry in suburban Dallas. These teachers with real-life experience and often with deep knowledge of their subjects are answering a call to service that is part of a strategy to dramatically boost the size and quality of the teaching work force. Career switchers make up about one-third of the ranks of new teachers and that number has jumped in the past decade.

Division II hockey: Better living through chemistry
Journal Inquirer
That’s the best way to describe the chemistry between freshman Enfield center Robbie Baillargeon and his senior left winger Christian McNair a pair of forwards who go together better than hydrogen and oxygen. That chemistry was never more explosive than it was during the Enfield High hockey team’s 6-4 win over defending champion Amity of Woodbridge in the semifinals of the state Division II hockey tournament at Ingalls Rink at Yale University on Monday. Baillargeon scored Enfield’s first two goals and added two assists. McNair scored Enfield’s next three goals and chalked up one assist. For all their brilliance however the game wasn’t wrapped up until goaltender Justin Boice made a spectacular save on Amity’s Kurt Wehr from point-blank range and Reilly Higgins scored an empty net goal to seal top-seeded Enfield’s trip to the finals on Friday.

However how it’s achieved can sometimes baffle even the most storied programs. The San Benito High boys volleyball team held frequent get-togethers off the court last year in order to develop a strong team bond but whether it be youth inexperience or just a lack of urgency toward a Tri-County Athletic League title the Haybalers had difficulty getting off the ground from the get-go opening their 2008 season with a dismal 0-9 record. Fast-forward one year and it’s noticeable how much has changed for the boys volleyball team and it shows in their overall record. At 5-3 the ‘Balers are nearly a month ahead of last season’s win total when they didn’t pocket their fifth win until April 5.

The article which appears in the March 2009 edition of this prestigious publication is entitled “Molecular Healing” and profiles how biomaterials engineers are leveraging the chemistry behind the healing process to create a new generation of “smarter wound treatments. ” The Chemistry World article features NIMBUS which coincidentally received clearance by the U. Food and Drug Administration as the article was going to press as the first bound antimicrobial material available in a wound dressing. NIMBUS is a platform technology that employs a large polyquaternary biocide which is irreversibly bonded to any of several materials such as cotton rayon and polyurethane for use in wound care products. NIMBUS is unique in that it is a sterile bacterial barrier that prohibits the transfer of microorganisms into the wound because the microbicidal agent is permanently bound to the dressing.
