Our school has approximately 415 students in prekindergarten through 5th grade. We offer four half day preschool sessions and three full-day kindergarten classes as well as three sections in each grade level (1st through 5th). We provide a variety of regular education and special education programs to provide academic support, remediation, and/or enrichment to students based on their individual learning needs. Our art, physical education, library, and music programs (music, band, orchestra, chorus) foster the development of the whole child and complement the classroom curriculum.
The Wolf Swamp Road School is a community that believes children are eager learners. We recognize that learning is a life–long endeavor that transcends all ages. Through collaboration and meaningful dialogue, the students, parents, teachers and community bring about a feeling of mutual respect that fosters learning. Children and adults both share the need and desire to be valued. All children are different and should be valued as unique individuals. We will strive to cultivate that inherent eagerness by establishing an educational setting that respects individual differences and provides stimulating academics. It is our aim as a school community to continue to assess our current practices and to make informed decisions that support our students. All children are deserving of our best efforts. We are fortunate to have a very supportive community. The PTA is a reflection of the dedication our parents have in the Longmeadow community. Through their support, we are able to provide our students with many additional educational programs, such as after school programs and technology-based programs to be utilized in school. In addition, they provide the parents with a wealth of information. By visiting their website (https://sites.google.com/site/wolfswamppta/), you can have access to the most current information.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. I can be reached by either email (enelson@longmeadow.k12.ma.us) or by phone (413-565-4270 ext. 103).


"Let no man seek his own, but every man another's"
That is the principle of the saints of God, both in times past and at the present time, from all ages to the end of the world. That is the principle of all true social structure.
On that principle can be founded a human society that is the most perfect, the most pleasing to God and the happiest. It is a saving principle in every kind of difficulty that people today encounter, against which they struggle without victory and without hope.
A holy soul cares for his neighbor, either close at hand or far away. He cares where the homeless will spend the night, how the hungry will be fed, with what the naked will be clothed. He cares and he prays for the salvation of his neighbors; that their hearts may be filled with love towards God, that their minds may be directed towards God, that the wicked may turn from the paths of wickedness, that the hesitant may be confirmed in the Faith, that the firm may persevere, that the departed may behold the Face of God, that the living may be written in the book of Life in the Kingdom of Light.


Well, it MIGHT just be me but that's a heck of a tear jerker!
I'm a snotty bag of tears after the "right mug" line. Mine knows that too.
Hi, I'm divorced. He left me after 3.5 years with an 8 month old baby. I think he was after the Disney happy ever after ending which of course didn't happen. But your post reassures me that I didn't marry the 'wrong' man, I just married one who wasn't prepared to stick it out.


This is an outdated version of FAQ 60. It was effective 11/05/2012 to 06/03/2014.
Question 1. My patient has a developmental disorder. Chromosome analysis and fragile X studies were reported as normal. Are there other cytogenetic studies that can be performed on my patient?
Yes, there are other studies that may be appropriate. There are many causes for developmental disorders, some of which are genetic. In the absence of clinical suspicion for a specific genetic disorder, a microarray analysis may be performed to detect subtle deletions and duplications (test code 16478, Chromosomal Microarray, Postnatal, ClariSure® Oligo-SNP).If clinical suspicion exists for a specific disorder, there may be other genetic testing available. Please contact 1-866-GENE-INFO to discuss the case with a genetic counselor and for information on adding additional testing.
Question 2. My patient has a family history of mental retardation. Chromosome analysis and fragile X studies were reported as normal. Do these results guarantee my patient won't have a child with mental retardation?
No. Please call 1-866-GENE-INFO to discuss this case with a genetic counselor. Documentation of the specific genetic abnormality in the family will be necessary to determine the accuracy of the testing that was performed on your patient.

Booze Cruise
January 5, 2006 August 24, 2016 old recaps
Talk to me, Tivo: When Michael takes the Mifflin crew on a motivational harbor cruise, things get out of hand and Michael ends up in the brig.
Jaminess: 3 [3=Casino Night]
Jam Cam: The jaminess in this episode is so good that I am presently dreading this recap for fear that I will ruin it.
You know this is going to be a great episode when SchemingJam make their first appearance right at the beginning. Jim gets some chips out of the vending machine. Dwight gets some….wha? Omg! It's Dwight's stuff — IN the vending machine. Too bad this will be short lived since Dwight can just buy his stuff back with money from his wallet…in J1. SchemingJam is just…wow.
In the conference room, Talking Head Jam try to decipher Michael's mysterious memo about where the office is going tonight. Ski masks in January? Ok. Swimsuits in January? No clue. They also have to take a toothbrush so their teeth will be clean and their breath won't smell like…
Alcohol! It's a booze cruise! Michael tries to blow everyone's minds by pointing out the word "ship" is in the word "leadership" and then he does his bad captain routine and can't even get through the presentation without Pam and Jim making the incorrect nautical movie references. Jim seems so confident Michael will stand in front of the boat and yell "I'm the king of the world," within the first hour that he's betting his paycheck on it.
At the ship, Michael starts assigning Gilligan's Island characters for everyone. Pam is Marianne, Jim gets to be The Professor, and Katy is Ginger. Wow, Ginger vs. Marianne. Tough call…or is it? Speaking of pop culture references, Michael is the king of the world as soon as the boat leaves the dock. Jim's paycheck is safe in his pocket.
Inside, Pam, Roy, Jim and Katy sit down and Katy points out that they are so awesome, she feels like they're at the cool table in high school. Unfortunately, it turns out that Pam was too artsy fartsy to sit at the cool table. Katy, on the other hand, was cool though because she was a cheerleader. Katy and Roy laugh, Jim looks a little horrified, and Pam finds it amusingly awesome. A-W-E! S-O-M-E!
But who has time to dwell on the past when there are snorkel shots? I don't know who invented snorkel shots, but they need to be thanked because Roy is totally enthralled with them — so enthralled he doesn't notice Pam get her coat to take a breather out on the deck with Jim.
Jim and Pam walk out to the railing and Pam admits sometimes, she just doesn't understand her fiance. Jim looks concerned about this, not only because he secretly loves her, but also, it seems his best friend is having fiance problems. She seems to pick up on this awkward silence and tries to fill in the space — "So, what's it like dating a cheerleader?"
Now what can you say without saying anything? There's a smirk on Jim's face as he tries to dodge the question and he ends up looking at Pam instead, seriously looking at Pam. The smile on her face fades when she realizes he's staring at her. There's yearning from him, apprehensive from her. The words that need to be said seem to be slipping away so quickly and yet the time seems to be standing so uncomfortably still. They're quiet, still, but so much is going on. Then Pam announces she's cold, the connection breaks, and she goes back in. I have no idea how all of that could fit into 27 seconds, but somehow it does.
Back inside, Katy's asking Pam how she was able to get her ring. Pam, proving she may know more about her relationship than she thinks, tells Katy to rightfully not ask her advice since she's been engaged for three years with no end in sight.
At the front of the boat, Captain Jack is asking Jim who he would save if the office was on fire. Jim says he would save the customer, but we all think he would really save the receptionist. As Jim walks away with a look of determination, the captain talks about almost dying and thinking about a woman he later married. Roy gets the same look of determination on his face that Jim had. This can't be good.
Oh, but maybe it can! As Jim makes his way over to where Pam and Katy are sitting, he looks straight in the camera and says "You know what? I would save the receptionist. Just wanted to clear that up." We knew that, now go get her! And just as Jim opens his mouth to tell Pam he needs to talk to her, the sound of Roy's voice seems to come out of nowhere. Oh no, please no. This is NOT good. Why is it that right at this moment Roy has finally figured out what is most important to him? Somehow, Roy has found the band's mic and thought this would be the perfect place and time to set a date for his wedding to Pam after three years. Jim's heart breaks. Hell, all of our hearts break at this moment — except for Pam's, which looks like it's ready to burst. She has a wedding date! She's so happy! Jim is crushed.
Jim is so crushed, in fact, that he realizes this whole Katy thing is just something to make him stop thinking about Pam. Unfortunately, he can't stop thinking about Pam even long enough to come up with something a little more sincere and gentlemanly than "I don't know why I brought you here tonight. Let's break up." Not smooth.
Outside, Michael is cuffed to the railing, which is just where Jim finds him when he heads out for some fresh air. Earlier on the deck, Jim really couldn't find any words to say. This time, he finds too many and confesses his love for Pam to Michael. "She's really funny, she's warm, and she's just….I dunno." Michael tells Jim engaged ain't married so he should never ever ever give up. So true, Michael, so true.
The Others: Michael decides to get the gang to bond on a booze cruise, but only Meredith and Dwight seem to think this a good idea. There is a reason for this. Apparently, Michael didn't really think this whole plan through including a boat on a lake in January and the part where he has to give a motivational speech. His analogies about a boat being like the office get so random that even he can't figure it all out. Once everyone is on board the ship, Michael's dancing and lack of a motivational plan get him so confused, he's puking from his vomicilin medication. In the end, the only motivational part of his speech is when he motivates people to think the boat is sinking and some guy actually jumps off the side. The Dunder Mifflinites, however, are still unmoved.
What have we learned today, kids: So what if you can't articulate the words that you need to say? There will be other chances, but take them while you can because you don't know when your time is about to run out. Never ever ever give up.
– written by Jenny
Jim: Hey.
Dwight: Hello. Jim!
Jim: What's up, buddy?
Dwight: This is not funny. Why is my stuff in here?
Jim: Wow, that's weird. Oh, a dollar for a stapler, that's pretty good.
Dwight: Yeah, well, I'm not paying for my own stuff, ok? I know you did this because you're friends with the vending machine guy.
Jim: Who, Steve?
Dwight: Yeah, Steve.
Pam: Oh sorry. What do I want? What do I want? Oh, a pencil cup.
Dwight: Oh, no no no no. That's my pencil cup.
Pam: Um, I don't think so, I just bought it.
Dwight: Uh, I think so and you're going to hand it over to me.
Pam: I love these.
Dwight: Ok, fine. Where's my wallet?
Jim: Um, oh, there it is. J1.
Dwight: I don't have any…
Jim: Here you know what? You can have some nickels?
Dwight: 5, 10. 15, 20, 25…
Pam : Last week, Michael sent out this mysterious memo. Jim: "It's time for our first quarter camaraderie event. So pack a swimsuit, a toothbrush. Rubber-soled shoes and a ski mask."
Pam: A ski mask and a swimsuit?
Jim: So that he can have us rob a bank and then escape through the sewers.
Pam: And brush our teeth.
Katy: You guys, it's like we're in high school and we're at the cool table, right?
Roy: Yeah.
Katy: Pam, were you a cheerleader?
Roy: No, she was total little Miss Artsy Fartsy in high school. She wore the turtleneck and everything.
Katy: That's hilarious.
Jim: It's not hilarious.
Roy: Where'd you go to school?
Katy: Bishop O'Hara.
Roy: Hey slop who cares-a? We played you. You really look familiar. Did you, you cheered for them, didn't you?
Jim: Mmm, no.
Katy: Yes, I did. A-W-E! S-O-M-E! Awesome, awesome is what we are, we're the football superstars. A-W-E!
[Pam starts dancing in her seat, Jim looks mortified.] Roy: I remember that!
Katy: S-O-M-E!
Roy: We crushed you like 42 to 10.
Everyone: Snorkel shot! Snorkel shot!
Roy: Woo! Who's next? Come on, Pammy, come on, come on!
Pam: I'm not doing that.
Roy: Come on!
Darryl: Tequila! That's what I'm talking about.
Pam: Hey, why don't we find like a quieter place to hang out?
Roy: You know what, I've just gotta wait for Darryl to do his shot. Just a minute. Come on, Darryl! Darryl!
Pam: It's getting kind of rowdy down there.
Jim: Yeah. "Darryl! Darryl! Darryl!"
Pam: Sometimes, I just don't get Roy. I mean, I don't know.
[long pause] Pam: So what's it like dating a cheerleader?
[27 seconds of silence] Pam: I'm cold.
Katy: I'd like to be engaged. How did you manage to pull that off?
Pam: Um, I've been engaged for three years and there's no end in sight so you don't want to ask my advice.
Jack: Suppose your office building's on fire. Jim, who would you save?
Jim: Let's see…[Jim looks over at Pam]. The customer because the customer is king.
Michael: Not what I was looking for, but a good thought.
Jack: He's just sucking up.
Roy: When you were in the Navy, did you ever almost die?
[Jim walked away determined] Jack: Oh yeah, yeah, and I wasn't thinking about some customer. I was thinking about my first wife. The day I got back on shore, I married her.
Jim [to camera]: You know what? I would save the receptionist. I just wanted to clear that up.
[Jim leans over to say something to Pam.] Roy: Hey everybody, could I have your attention for just a second? Would you listen to me for a second? We were up at the front and we were talking about what's really important and…Pam, I think enough is enough. I think we should set a date for our wedding. How about June 10th? Come on, let's do it.
[Jim looks distraught, Pam looks elated.] Roy: Come on baby!
Katy: Oh, my God, congratulations! Congratulations. Yes!
Roy: I love you baby, come on!
Michael: I don't want to take credit for this, but Roy and I were just having a conversation about making commitments and making choices, right? Did I motivate you?
Roy: No, it was Captain Jack.
Michael: Could have been either one of us because, pretty much, we were saying the same thing. Congratulations, that is great.
Jack: We gotta celebrate!
Pam: Woooo!
Jack: Hey hey hey hey, I got an idea, I got an idea. I can marry you right now as captain of the ship, huh?
Michael: Yes, I can marry you as Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin!
Pam: No no no no, I want my mom and dad to be there.
Michael: Then I'll give you away!
Pam: No, thank you.
[watching Roy and Pam dance] Katy: Do you think that'll ever be us?
Jim: No.
Katy: What is wrong with you? Why did you even bring me here tonight?
Jim: I don't know. Let's break up.
Katy: Wait, what?
Michael: Somebody there?
Jim: What happened to you?
Michael: Captain Jack has a problem with authority.
Jim: Oh right, because you announced that his ship was sinking.
Michael: Yea, he just totally lost it. If you ask me, he caused the panic.
Jim: What a night.
Michael: Well, it's nice for you. Your friend got engaged.
Jim: She was always engaged.
Michael: Roy said the first one didn't count.
Jim: That's…great. You know, to tell you the truth, I used to have a big thing for Pam.
Michael: Really? You're kidding me. You and Pam? Wow. I would have never put you two together. You really hid it well. God, I usually have a radar for stuff like that. You know, I made out with Jan.
Jim: Yea, I know.
Michael: Yea, yep. Well, Pam is cute.
Jim: Yea. She's really funny and she's warm and she's just…anyway.
Michael: Well, if you like her so much, don't give up.
Jim: She's engaged.
Michael: B.F.D. Engaged ain't married.
Jim: Huh.
Michael: Never ever ever give up.

Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House (Paperback)
By Alyssa Mastromonaco, Lauren Oyler (With)
(BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIRGRAPHY)

Hardcover (March 21st, 2017): $27.00
Paperback (Chinese) (October 2018): $31.20
The acclaimed New York Times bestseller, now in paperback!
"Always fascinating and very funny, Alyssa's book is full of juicy stories from one of the world's most glamorous jobs." - Mindy Kaling, New York Times bestselling author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) and Why Not Me?
If your funny older sister were the former deputy chief of staff to President Barack Obama, her behind-the-scenes political memoir would look something like this...
Alyssa Mastromonaco worked for Barack Obama for almost a decade, and long before his run for president. From the then-senator's early days in Congress to his years in the Oval Office, she made Hope and Change happen through blood, sweat, tears, and lots of briefing binders.
But for every historic occasion-meeting the queen at Buckingham Palace, bursting in on secret climate talks, or nailing a campaign speech in a hailstorm-there were dozens of less-than-perfect moments when it was up to Alyssa to save the day. Like the time she learned the hard way that there aren't nearly enough bathrooms at the Vatican.
Full of hilarious, never-before-told stories, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? is an intimate portrait of a president, a book about how to get stuff done, and the story of how one woman challenged, again and again, what a "White House official" is supposed to look like. Here Alyssa shares the strategies that made her successful in politics and beyond, including the importance of confidence, the value of not being a jerk, and why ultimately everything comes down to hard work (and always carrying a spare tampon).
Told in a smart, original voice and topped off with a couple of really good cat stories, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? is a promising debut from a savvy political star.
"A must-read for anybody who's even remotely interested in how Washington works." - Popsugar.com
Alyssa Mastromonaco served as assistant to the president and director of scheduling and advance at the White House from 2009 to 2011 and as assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff for operations at the White House from 2011 to 2014. She currently works as chief communication and talent officer at A+E Networks and is a contributing editor at Marie Claire.
"Always fascinating and very funny, Alyssa's book is full of juicy stories from one of the world's most glamorous jobs."—Mindy Kaling, New York Times bestselling author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) and Why Not Me?
"WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? is everything we've come to know and love about Alyssa over the decade we worked with her: brilliant, funny, grounded, and inspiring. Anyone who's interested in politics - especially young people - should read this book."—Dan Pfeiffer and Jon Favreau, former communications director and speechwriter for President Barack Obama
"Few people have had as much access and influence over national events over the last decade as Alyssa Mastromonaco. No matter how serious the crisis or hard the problem, Alyssa took care of it with great skill and professionalism, and even greater humor. This book tells the story of a young woman succeeding under extraordinary circumstances, and throughout it all, never taking herself too seriously."—Stephanie Cutter, former deputy campaign manager for President Barack Obama
"I've often wondered how a woman can be so many things wrapped up in one dynamic package. Alyssa is my fairy godmother: she's wise, resourceful, insanely smart, and makes me laugh in a very special way. Her stories - from the front line of the White House to her kitchen - will entertain, inspire, and humor you for a long time to come."—Amanda de Cadenet
"Alyssa is a force: whip-smart, humble, and funny as hell. Her writing is as fearless as she is."—Sophia Amoruso, founder and CEO of Girlboss
"A candid and charming memoir of her unexpected career in government...The memoir abounds with intimate glimpses of Washington, D.C., celebrities (Biden, Clinton, Michelle Obama, and scores more) and cheerfully dispensed survival strategies. An entertaining look inside the White House."—Kirkus
"When imagining working in the White House, many picture meaningful meetings, glamorous dinners, and high-stakes decision making. It can be all of those things. But as Alyssa Mastromonaco writes in WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?, the reader gets a real and raw peek behind the curtains where Alyssa experiences the good, the bad, the distressing, and the often hilarious. Alyssa has real grit and grace, and her book is her story very well told."—Dana Perino, New York Times bestselling author of And the Good News Is... and Let Me Tell You About Jasper...
"A combination memoir and compendium of very good suggestions about how to get ahead -- very far ahead -- at an early age."—The Washington Post
"[WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA] is brimming with...humorous, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, as well as up-close-and-personal moments with Obama that shed new light on who he is as a leader, man and friend."—People.com
"A moving, funny, and sometimes heart-wrenching look back at the years [Alyssa Mastromonaco] spent in politics and by [President Obama's] side."—PopSugar.com
"This relatable memoir is packed with juicy on-the-road stories and crisis management advice, and presents a strong case for embracing a sense of humor in the face of humbling setbacks."—Esquire.com
"Mastromonaco's memoir successfully avers that a tough, high-profile job is attainable and enjoyable for any woman who is as smart, ambitious, humble, silly, and hard-working as she is. Her book is full of enjoyable storytelling intended as encouragement for women of her generation and younger."—Publishers Weekly
"A must-read for anybody who's even remotely interested in how Washington works, but is worth reading for anyone who enjoys brilliant wit and once-in-a-lifetime stories...you'll probably end up reading it more than once."—Popsugar.com

Pop princess Kim Petras has had an incredible 2018. After releasing a string of career-making, party-starting standalone tracks earlier this year, the Cologne-born singer accompanied Troye Sivan on his joyous, delightfully queer Bloom tour. Earlier this fall, Petras surprise released her first full-length collection of music, a Halloween-themed EP called Turn Off The Lights, Vol. 1.
LA-based electronic trio Cheat Codes have also had a breakout year — they released their first EP, Level 1, this summer, and just recorded a track with Little Mix for their new record, LM5. Petras and Cheat Codes have combined their unbeatable pop energy for a new single, "Feeling Of Falling" — and it's the bop of a lifetime.
"Feeling Of Falling" is three and a half minutes of pure joy. Cheat Codes' infectious synths burrow their way into your brain so thoroughly, you'll be humming the tune for days. Petras is completely at home singing over a danceable electro-pop beat: "I hate the feeling of falling / I can't keep bleeding, I'm sorry," Petras sings over pounding synths. Petras' evocative, insistently cheerful voice infuses everything she sings with joy. Despite the downbeat lyrics, you can't shake the feeling that the "Heart To Break" singer is reveling and dancing through her heartbreak. Listen and you just might, too.
Check out "Feeling Of Falling" above.

Q: How do I use Closure Compiler with grunt-requirejs? This is from my Gruntfile:
requirejs: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      almond: true,
      optimize: 'closure',
      baseUrl: '<%= cfg.src %>/scripts',
      mainConfigFile: '<%= cfg.src %>/scripts/config.js',
      out: '<%= cfg.staticDist %>/scripts/all.js',
      deps: ['app', 'config', 'bluebird', 'jquery']
    }
  }
},

When I set optimize to closure, grunt-requirejs writes this to console:
Running "requirejs:compile" (requirejs) task
>> Error: Error: optimizer with name of "closure" not found for this environment
>>     at Object.optimize.js (/Users/dan/Documents/Projects/test/node_modules/grunt-requirejs/node_modules/requirejs/bin/r.js:24632:27)

Does grunt-requirejs support optimising with Closure Compiler? Where do I need to put it?

A: I think what you want to do here is that you want to use the more updated grunt-contrib-requirejs without optimization.
Then use a grunt task like grunt-closure-tools to optimize the combined files.
I found a user on GitHub that has success with this.

A: As Allan said and asciidisco confirmed:

We got rid of that. Caused too many troubles. Also, r.js only supports that (correct me if I´m wrong) if you´re in a rhino environment & because we are node only, we stick with uglify.
If you really wan't to use Closure Compiler, I recommend to run the task with no minification & apply a task such as grunt-closure-compiler to the optimised files later in your process.

Nine East Juniata players and two from Juniata were selected by Tri-Valley League coaches for the league's all-star team.
The Tigers' Hailey Swartz was named MVP as a member of the first team. Swartz was first among the scoring leaders with 59 points. Swartz also led in goals scored with 27 and had five assists.
East Juniata was unbeaten (12-0) in TVL play and advanced to the PIAA Class A semifinals for the second year in a row.
Senior goalkeeper Kayla Forry, who led the league in save percentage at 88.89 percent, was a first-team selection, along with Clarye Guyer and Carly Beaver. Beaver had four assists in league games.
"Clayre came back from missing last year to a broken ankle and had a great year," Dressler said. "Carly stepped into position that was new to her and had wonderful success at it. She was a big part of our tough back line that only gave up 17 goals in 23 games.
Junior Thea Neimond was third among the scoring leaders with 45 points including 17 goals and was first in assists with 11 and was rewarded with a second-team selection. Maddison Coudriet also was given second team honors.
Fellow forward Kierstyn Fogle also made the second team after finishing second in scoring with 54 points (22 goals and 10 assists). Leah Sankey and Alyssa Hibbs also were named to second team.
Valeria Dressler was the league's coach of the year.
Juniata, which went 9-3 in the TVL and made an appearance in the District 6 tournament, had one first-team selection in junior midfielder Nylah Pannebaker.
Junior defender Carly Orris was rewarded with a second team nomination.

Late model cars these days come with a keyless fob that is really an active communicator with not only the door but also the ignition. Get close to the car and the doors unlock. Get close to the ignition and you can either start the car from the fob or from a button on the dash panel.
Until you get to price v value, and the expected value of losing the key. Fobs like this can set you back $300 to $400, and some are more. One might ask--I certainly do--"can I opt out if I don't find that value exceeds price?" Answer, of course, is no. If you want the car, you have to pay for someone else's value.
Now comes the expected value of the loss. I've had key fobs of one kind or another for 20 years; I've never lost one, but others in my family have lost one or two over the years. Thus, in my situation there have been two incidents; but how many opportunities?
Probability of losing a fob: 2 / 7000, a vanishingly small number.
Expected value: $400 * 2 / 7000; essentially $0 for all practical purposes.
Nonetheless, an industry has sprung up to insure fobs. With such small probability, and such an affordable loss even if it happens, you would think the industry would charge a very low premium in line with its likely losses, and a low premium to attract people away from self-insuring the loss.
But no, one offer I recently ran across was for nearly $300 to insure a $400 key! Is that company making money?
Hello! Either I am the exception and most people lose their fob so the premium has to be high, or this insurance plan is a gold mine for the underwriter: cost is almost $0; price is $300. The price all but drops to the bottom line!
Price in excess of expected value is what drives the insurance industry. Does it drive your risk register?
My rule: don't buy insurance for a loss you can afford, and if you do consider insurance, consider the expected value only.

Holland America Ship Completes Maritime Tradition, Float Out Next Week
The cruise industry may be at a standstill but that doesn't mean that ship construction is. Holland America Line celebrated a coin ceremony on Thursday aboard its upcoming Rotterdam, which is being constructed at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard in Italy.

A coin ceremony for a vessel typically takes place when its keel is laid during the construction process. Tradition says that placing two coins under the new ship's keel block as a sign of good fortune and blessing.
Following the Italian shipbuilding tradition, Mai Elmar, executive director of Cruise Port Rotterdam in the Netherlands, served as the ship's madrina and participated in the festivities.
READ: Two Holland America Ships Find New Home
During the socially responsible ceremony, Dutch coins minted in 1872 to honor Holland America Line's first Rotterdam were welded to the outside deck of the ship to bring good fortune, followed by a blessing by the shipyard chaplain.
In attendance were Antonio Quintano, director of the Fincantieri Marghera Shipyard; Cyril Tatar, Holland America Group's vice president of newbuilding services; and Nico Bleichrodt, vice president, international sales, for Holland America Line.
"We are pleased to honor the coin ceremony tradition and celebrate this milestone that signals less than a year until Rotterdam's delivery," said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. "With a name like Rotterdam, there is no other person more ideal than Mai Elmar to serve as the ship's madrina. Mai's name is synonymous with the cruise industry in the port city of Rotterdam and she has been a tremendous champion of our brand for decades. We're thrilled to have her take on this special role."
On October 7, Rotterdam's drydock will be filled with water and the ship will be floated out to begin the next stage of construction at an outfitting pier.
Rotterdam is scheduled to be delivered on July 30, 2021.

Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome - DOAJ
Plasma Exchange in the Management of Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Despite early combination corticosteroid and heparin therapy, a case of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome with multiple organ involvement leading to a life-threatening condition was reported. Despite early methylprednisolone and heparin therapy, the patient's health gradually worsened, resulting in acute renal impairment, right adrenal hemorrhage, and pulmonary involvement, contributing to acute respiratory distress on day 6, which required high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy with FiO2 of 1. 0. On day 6, the plasma exchange was launched, and the Plasma exchange was initiated. This case illustrates the effectiveness of plasma exchange in CAPS and the challenges for physicians to determine the right time of plasma exchange.

Pontine Infarct as Initial Presentation of Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome in Systemic Lupus Erythematous
Antiphospholipid syndrome is a chronic disease that commonly appears as an arterial or venous thrombosis affecting medium to large vessels and large vessels, with antiphospholipid antibodies present. APLS may be a primary disease on its own or secondary to other autoimmune disorders, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. We describe a case of dramatic APLS in a young woman with multiple cranial nerve palsies due to bilateral pontine infarct, as well as chronic vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism throughout the course of the disease.

Intracardiac thrombus in a patient with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: an autopsy case report and review of the literature
APS has an estimated annual incidence of 5 new cases per 100,000 individuals. The most common thrombotic events in patients with APS include stroke, transient ischemic attack, deep vein thrombosis, and respiratory embolism. An intracardiac thrombus, a life-threatening condition with a high risk of increased morbidity and mortality, can be treated by surgical ablation, extensive anticoagulant therapy, and prevention of other complications. We herein report an autopsy case of catastrophic APS in a 12-year-old Thai boy with multiple thromboembolic events, including intracardiac thrombus formation with a positive lupus anticoagulant test result. Antiphospholipid syndrome, intracardiac thrombus, fatal antiphospholipid syndrome, and antiphospholipid antibodies to date, to the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest reported patient with APS to date.

Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome after Orthotopic Liver Transplant
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disorder of small and large vessels caused by autoantibodies against phospholipids and phospholipid-binding proteins. On testing 12 weeks apart, this severe form of antiphospholipid syndrome presents clinically with simultaneous life-threatening multiorgan thrombosis and the presence of two or more persistent antiphospholipid antibodies. We discuss the case study of a 66-year-old woman with antinuclear antibodies pretransplant, CAPS following an orthotopic liver transplantation. Increasing amounts of anticardiolipin IgG and beta-2-glycoprotein IgM/IgM and positive lupus anticoagulant were discovered during hypercoagulation and coagulation, as shown by steroids and anticoagulation. Although there have been studies looking at the correlation between anticardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulants and APS, the connection between pretransplant positive ANA or antimitochondrial antibodies and CAPS has yet to be investigated. At a preliver transplant presentation, we recommend preoperative APL testing for patients with high ANA and AMA.
Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome Presenting as a Stroke in an 11-Year-Old with Lupus
An infrequent yet feared life-threatening complication of antiphospholipid syndrome is Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. We explore the case of an 11-year-old girl with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus and hypertension, who presented with acute onset of altered mental health, found to have a large ischemic middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery stroke, as well as more diffuse and smaller ischemic lesions in the frontal lobe and cerebellum. Her presentation was made more difficult by thrombocytopenia and renal and splenic infarction, as well as thrombosis of the right brachial vein consistent with a diagnosis of CAPS.
A probable case of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: Should high-dose steroids be given in the setting of polymicrobial sepsis?
We present a case of a 59-year-old woman with severe antiphospholipid syndrome likely triggered by polymicrobial sepsis in this clinical vignette. Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome is a rare, but lethal condition, and treatment recommendations are based on expert consensus and reviews of the International Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome Registry. In the case of a severe sepsis, the question of whether high-dose steroids should be continued for the treatment of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome should also be raised.

Severe mesenteric ischemia with multiple organ failure in a patient previously treated with a humanized monoclonal antibody against programmed death receptor-1 (pembrolizumab), a case of pembrolizumab associated catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome?
Multiple types of tumors, including melanoma and non-small cell lung carcinoma, are treated with immunoe checkpoint inhibitors by the immune system. Multiple organ failures in the intensive care unit due to catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome after chemotherapy with pegolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, is traced to metastatic melanoma. Panic antiphospholipid syndrome was suspected in combination with the presence of IgA anti-cardiolipin antibodies and first IgM anti-cardiolipin antibodies. Discussion is also included in this case study about the potential immune system that causes catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome during or after treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy will be admitted into the hospital intensive care unit, regardless of an increase in the number of patients treated with these checkpoint inhibitors.
Vascular Endothelial Cell Function in Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
After a splenectomy for immune thrombocytopenia, we present an example of a 79-year-old male who presented with a myocardial infarct and renal dysfunction secondary to CAPS. Despite a rapid combination of first-line therapy and rituximab therapy, the patient suffered lethal cardiogenic shock secondary to mitral valve papillary muscle necrosis.

Neovascular Glaucoma as a Presenting Sign of Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome with a "Catastrophic" Heart Valve Finding
On examination, a 39-year-old man was sent for left eye diminished visual acuity and pain; rubeosis iridis of both eyes; and prominent retinal ischemia. The diagnosis of left eye NVG with vaso-occlusive disease in BE was established by clinical and fluorescein angiography results. This case reveals that severe vaso-occlusive retinopathy with severe brain ischemia may lead to the identification of systemic autoimmune pro-coagulative disorders of heart valve aseptic vegetations.

Case of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome presenting as neuroretinitis and vaso-occlusive retinopathy
Abstract Background Ocular involvement in catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, a rare, life-threatening form of antiphospholipid syndrome that results in multiorgan dysfunction and a high mortality rate, has rarely been reported. The case study The 15-year-old girl was presented with a flash of vision blurring in both eyes for the first time in both eyes. She had noticed optical disc swelling and macular exudates in the right eye and intra-arterial white plaques, a few retinal blot hemorrhages, and a white ischemic retina in the left eye. Conclusions Both vainopathy, an APS-related thrombotic microangiopathy, and neuroretinitis, a non-thrombotic microangiopathy, can be present as an early presentation of CAPS.

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Story
September 27, 2020 dev0 commentsUncategorized
The complete storyline found inside GTA San Andreas is loaded with crime, staging, and, the majority of all, selling out. Be that as it may, I won't loss anything for those who've yet to encounter it. In any case, it's important to take note of that a gangster theme spins out of control all through and sharpens its sights on a gathering of uneducated and low-salary African Americans who dress the shading green to speak to their Grove Street group. Woods Street, observably, is their specific hood in the city's burdened ghetto and goes about as the game's first center.
Honestly, some of the involved composing hasn't matured unimaginably well. In meanness of that, San Andreas stays a generally attractive encounter, story-wise. All things considered, it depends energetically on personifications, much like other GTA games, and sometimes goes somewhat far. Of course, that is something we've normally expected.
Carl Johnson, himself, is a deficient character who ends up fastened in a plot that he never would've understood. He's an interesting hero, as well, and accompanies some exceptional components that haven't really played a section in other series emphases. What I'm discussing are his upgradeable abilities – which are better through training – just as his requirement for work out. Negligence to lift some loads, run some laps, or apply an activity bicycle with normality, and almost certainly, you'll end up with an overweight symbol who's not as acceptable at getting things done as he then would be. It's a perfect basis that works quite well here, but, I comprehend why it has extinct from the series' DNA.
Outside of upgradeable skills and a capacity to react to NPC remarks either unequivocally or adversely by means of the press of a hook, CJ plays like the establishment's other heroes. Beneath the uncommon covering paper lays normal Grand Theft Auto ongoing interaction, including taking vehicles, driving around, carrying out violations, and taking part in shootouts. The gunplay mechanics have not matured well, however, as the game undertakings players retaining the correct trigger at that point pointing with the correct joystick before they can discharge utilizing B. It's awkward, hard to utilize, and disappointing these days. Truth be told, it actually makes me terror shootouts.
I've been wearing rose-shaded glasses with respect to this series, and I'm not unwilling to concede that. All things painstaking, Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas were liable for some of my preferred gaming minutes, and I sunk additional time into them than I can even fathom. Along these lines, when I found out about this re-discharge, what with its 720p goals, rationalized visuals, and accomplishment support, I have energized for arrival to Rockstar's gem. Catastrophically, however, my rose-shaded glasses were partially broken by the chaos that this specific port happens to be.
I can't state for certain, but, I have a propensity this is a port of the versatile variant that was discharged quite recently. The visuals help me to remember that, and it appears as though there are fewer regular people on every path. On the other hand, it's been right around 10 years since I formerly played this game, and many years since I keep going played it on comforts, so don't cite me on that. The irrefutable truth, but, is that Rockstar has tragically messed up the porting procedure, in their effort to allow fans to reproduce intelligent recollections.

A former Merrillville police detective was reportedly in critical condition Thursday night after being struck by a car in Downtown Indianapolis.
John Westmoreland was struck at about 10:18 p.m. while he was walking at the intersection of West Maryland Street and Capitol Avenue.
He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Westmoreland, who was employed at the Indiana Gaming Commission as an enforcement investigator, had previously worked at the Merrillville Police Department for 20 years as a patrol officer and detective, according to the Times of Northwest Indiana. The Times also reported that Westmoreland was a five-year veteran of the Gary Police Department.
IMPD spokesman Lt. Rick Riddle said the driver of the vehicle that struck Westmoreland is cooperating with investigators.
Sara Gonso Tait, executive director of the Gaming Commission, released the following statement Friday:
"We have been heartsick since we learned that Indiana Gaming Commission Enforcement Investigator John Westmoreland was injured critically in an accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family as we await word of his condition."

Plantar fasciitis is a painful and debilitating condition that primarily affects athletes, people whose jobs require them to stand for long periods of time, and those who put heavy stress on their feet. It involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, the strands of connective tissue that run along the sole of the foot, linking the heel of the foot to the ball and toes. It usually manifests as sharp pain in the heel or sole of the foot and an inability to point the toes upward. If left untreated, it can lead to other and more severe orthopedic conditions in the foot, shin, and knee. It is estimated that at least 1 million people suffer this sort of heel pain.
There are many possible treatments for plantar fasciitis, but physicians often do not agree on the best way. Most physicians recommend some combination of orthopedic foot supports, physical therapy, and stretching of the foot and leg. Injections of anti-inflammatory drugs such as cortisone, occasionally with ultrasound therapy can also be helpful. It is difficult to predict what remedies will work in individual cases, and not everything works reliably for everyone. Surgery to release the tension on the plantar fascia is controversial, since it risks damaging nerves or making the pain worse. It is only used in cases that cannot be resolved any other way.
However, there is a new technique for dealing with this condition. For the past two years, physicians have been developing cell therapy for plantar fasciitis and other bone, joint, and tendon injuries. Repair cell therapy involves injecting your own body's repair cells, including growth factors and platelet-rich plasma, to treat the stressed connective tissue. These injections often work better than the traditional cortisone shots, since they not only soothe the pain, but can also regenerate damaged tissue. Repeated cortisone shots can actually lead to further damage in the affected tendons, but the same is not true of cell-based therapy.
If you suffer from plantar fasciitis and have tried, and been left unsatisfied by, traditional orthopedic remedies, it may be worth your time to investigate stem cell therapy. There's no need to let your life be limited by foot pain, or risk even more damage to your feet and legs, when a safer, more reliable treatment is available.
Please note that while the above conditions represent most of those that we treat using either PRP injections or PRP injection in conjunction with cell injections, the specific method of treatment will be based on a patient's age and health at the time of treatment, the severity of their condition and other factors. Learn if you are eligible for cell-based therapy.

In reality, almost any plant can be grown in S/H Culture, but it really depends less on the plant, and more upon how Semi-Hydro™ and the rest of your cultural conditions combine to meet the needs of the plant. This article, therefore, is more about how readily the plant will take to the culture, rather than if it will or won't.
When deciding about a specific plant, I look at the plant structure, growth and flowering habit, and it's natural habitat.
Plants with pseudobulbs have a built-in water storage vessel, so may not need the constant moisture supply, but most do just fine. Bulbophyllums, which like to stay well watered, do great in S/H culture, pseudobulbs notwithstanding. Plants with no pseudobulbs seem likely to be more of an "automatic" for S/H, but there are exceptions to that, as well. Be wary of vandaceous plants, for example, unless you grow them in warm, dry, in-home conditions (I recommend against it, but there are too many folks out there successfully growing them that way for me to argue with!).
As far as growth habit goes, even if the plants would ordinarily like the culture, if they are climbers or rangers – like the bulbo's – I tend to mount them instead. Likewise with plants with pendant growth, such as paraphalaenopsis.
As far as flowering habit is concerned, if the inflorescence grows down, like stanhopeas, forget S/H!
Natural habitat plays a big role – obviously a plant coming from a rain- or cloud forest can appreciate the moisture, while one that gets parched by trade winds whistling through upper tree branches is less likely a good candidate.
All of those factors are evaluated together and as a matter of degree, rather than a simple "yes/no," and when it comes to hybrids (where the "natural" habitat is likely a greenhouse), I look back to the genera and species in their backgrounds.
Semi-Hydroponic™ culture can actually be a great help if you're "pushing the limits" of your temperatures with the plants you grow: the evaporative cooling from the constantly-moist medium can allow cooler-growing plants to thrive under warmer conditions than they might normally prefer.

Imagine, It all comes down to you. The hopes of a nation rest on your shoulders. People's lives and freedom are at risk based on the outcome of this one moment in your life. What would you do? In today's devotion, we look at one young man who had this moment and what it means for us.
They were small enough to where Goliath wouldn't see the stone as it flew at him.
Did you ever skip rocks when you were a kid? When I was a boy, we would go out to my grandparents' camp on the Calcasieu River and one of our past times was flinging rocks across the water. The best rocks to fling were smooth and small. I didn't learn this on my own. My grandpa taught me. He told me you could fling them with more accuracy and their lightness allowed them to skip across the water more easily. This concept also works for a slingshot, a concept David knew as well as my grandpa.
David knew exactly what kind of stone it took to take down Goliath, and we are going to need to know what kind of tools we need to exhibit when we are in a fight against the enemy. How do we know what tools to use?
There are many tools that we can use to take on the enemy. Jesus told his disciples that they would be able to cast out devils. That's not just the spiritual practice of exorcism, but it is also the ability to cast demons out of our lives and situations. The influence the enemy is trying to gain on our lives and the lives of those around us? We can squash it. The attacks the enemy mounts on our finances, family and other areas? We can block them. How do we do it? There are many gifts, operations, talents and tools God affords His followers throughout the Bible, but we must have one thing behind whatever tools God provides us. It's not big. It's not flashy. It's simple and subtle, at times. It's faith.
David had the stones and the sling, but he had something else: the Name of the LORD (2 Samuel 17:45). That's faith. It's the same faith required of his disciples and it's the same faith He requires of us. Faith in the One who sends us out. Belief in the Name of the Lord. David didn't beat Goliath because of the stones he selected or the sling he held. It was his faith in God. The season of casting out stones is all about trusting God. Trusting Him that when you cast the stones, God will guide them to their intended target and the enemy before us will be felled.
What is the Goliath in your path today?
What tools are at your disposal to face the enemy?
How can you use faith in God to get the most out of what God has given you?
Leave your thoughts in the comment and tell us what you think about the season of casting away stones.


Cargo Description: Loaded with rubble stone from Washington Island bound for Chicago.
The wooden two masted schooner Josephine Lawrence was built in Milwaukee by George Barber in 1854. In 1874 the vessel was valued at $2,800 and rated at B1. The official registry number was 12976.
November 1854: Sank after striking a rock in the Detroit River.
May 1856: Ashore at Sheboygan.
August 1872: Collided, "run down by", and sank with the propeller barge Favorite. The cargo of wood kept her afloat. Righted and towed to Manitowoc for repairs.
Last Document Of Enrollment Surrendered: Milwaukee: 10/16/1880: "Total Loss".
October 16, 1880: While enroute with rubble stone from Washington Island bound for Chicago, during the Alpena Gale, the schooner Josephine Lawrence took refuge in Bailey's Harbor. The wind shifted and the anchor began dragging and at 2:00 pm Saturday, the chain parted and the Lawrence was pushed ashore. The stranded vessel was so old and so loaded down that she was abandoned and eventually worked her way down in the sand so far that only part of the hull was visible.
The Josephine Lawrence, lying near the schooners Pauline and Peoria, has worked herself down to such an extent that she is nearly covered with sand, nothing but a small portion of her hull now being visible. The schooner was later salvaged.


There are not many similarities between Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and football in terms of the rules and playing styles.
However, they are both sports that many people all over the world enjoy.
MMA is a full-contact combat sport. Unlike other combat sports, MMA involves and allows striking and grappling an opponent, both standing and on the ground. In MMA, martial artists, use techniques from various combat sports and martial arts.
Mixed martial artists need to be physically strong, lightning fast and agile. There are some famous football players who would be good MMA fighters. Let's find them out.
The legendary Portuguese defender was known to be a physical, tough and aggressive player during his prime. He was also very prone to violence and got in many brawls with players.
Pepe would also make an excellent MMA fighter, because of his imposing physical presence that he used to bully strikers.
Next on our list is none other than Ibracadabra! Zlatan Ibrahimovic had the repertoire of a professional martial arts fighter.
The Swede was 6'5 tall and practiced martial arts in his leisure time. He is known for scoring martial arts-esque goals that will make your jaw drop. Ibrahimovic will definitely be a perfect fit if he ever participated in Mixed Martial Arts.
Joey Barton is an obvious choice no doubt. Barton is a street fighter and a rogue in the pitch. He was brought up in a rugged area in Liverpool. Even as a child, Barton engaged in boxing. Thus, if you add that with his aggressive personality, fearless attitude and love of violence, he would likely be a force to reckon with if he tried his luck in the world of combat sports.
Pogba is built like a fighter. He incredible French midfielder possesses a huge frame, incredible strength, and a tough mentality. There's no doubt that Pogba will succeed as an MMA fighter.
Wayne Rooney was a promising boxer during his youth. He comes from a family of boxers and possesses the attitude of one.
The English football player is aggressive, strong and has great speed. He would make an excellent MMA fighter.

40K background checks a year performed for Indiana schools
By: Kara Kenney
DANVILLE, Ind. – As you get your kids ready to head back to school, a Danville company is making it their business to help keep your children safe.
Safe Hiring Solutions performs 40,000 background checks for Indiana school districts each year, according to CEO Mike McCarty.
"You can't do enough, it's about protecting kids," McCarty said.
A 2009 law requires Indiana schools to perform a national criminal history check on candidates before they can be hired to work alongside children.
Also, violence in schools and sexual misconduct among educators remain top concerns for school districts in Indiana.
CALL 6 | Legislators tackle teacher sexual misconduct
Safe Hiring Solutions uses 37 staffers to comb through state and county criminal records and national and state sex offender registries.
"At least once a month, we see a sex offender trying to volunteer or gain employment with a school district," said McCarthy. "It's terribly frightening."
They also look at the job a candidate is applying for.
"If I'm going to hire a bus driver, I want to make sure the bus driver hasn't had DUIs," said McCarty. "If I'm hiring someone in food service who will be handling money, I want to check for theft or money related crimes."
Schools like Maplewood Elementary School in MSD Wayne Township are also using Safe Hiring Solutions to check visitors.
A new system scans a visitor's driver's license barcode, checks the national sex offender registry, takes a picture of the visitor and creates a badge that changes over the course of the day.
"There's a stop sign on there, and after a couple hours that stop sign will show up indicating that's an old badge, so you can't come back tomorrow or next week," said Pete Just, Chief Technology Officer for MSD Wayne Township.
Just said previously, badges never expired, plus the schools relied on visitors to manually enter their own information.
"We weren't certain that was really their name," said Just. "We weren't double checking. So we've increased our procedures so that we can be certain."
It costs the district $175 a year per school for the Safe Visitor service.
McCarty said at least ten other companies in Indiana also do background checks for schools, and cost about $35 per applicant.
Business is booming for Safe Hiring Solutions, so much so they're outgrowing their little brick house in Danville.
"We are maxed out and looking to expand," said McCarty.
Lawmakers are floating the idea of requiring school districts to do national criminal history checks on existing school employees, not just new ones.
"Probably 40 to 50 percent of school employees in Indiana have never had a national background check since it was required in 2009," McCarty told legislators Monday.
Safe Hiring Solutions is also offering a tool aimed at evaluating whether a potential employee may have boundary issues with students.
It's called the RefLynk Talent Evaluator .

Marie Stopes: Call for investigation into Belfast abortion clinic
duration 18 October 2012

image captionIn NI abortions are not illegal but are very strictly controlled
image captionUp to 50 people from a range of religious denominations are protesting
image captionNorthern Ireland, unlike the rest of the UK, is not covered by an Abortion Act
image captionThe clinic's opening was also supported
image captionThe Marie Stopes clinic has said it will carry out medical, not surgical, procedures only up to nine weeks gestation and only within the existing legal framework
The Northern Ireland Attorney General has called for a Stormont investigation into the opening of the first private clinic in Belfast to offer abortions.
John Larkin's request comes on the day the Marie Stopes clinic opened.
It has said it will provide terminations within NI's current legal framework - abortions are not illegal but are very strictly controlled.
But up to 200 people from a range of religious denominations are protesting.
Northern Ireland, unlike the rest of the UK, is not covered by an Abortion Act.
Abortions can be carried out only to preserve the life of the mother or if continuing the pregnancy would have other serious, permanent physical or mental health effects.
There is strict assessment regarding any impact on mental well-being and the woman must consult with two clinicians.
But Attorney General John Larkin - who is the chief legal advisor to the Stormont executive - has written to the Stormont Justice Committee inviting them to investigate the operations of the Belfast clinic.
In a letter to the committee's chairman, Mr Larkin said that while in his official capacity he cannot intervene, in his non-statutory role, as guardian of the rule of law, he can become engaged.
Mr Larkin said he would be happy to give every possible assistance including acting as counsel and questioning witnesses on their behalf.
The Marie Stopes clinic has said it will carry out medical, not surgical, procedures only up to nine weeks gestation and only within the existing legal framework.
It said that the health professionals in the clinic will be from Northern Ireland and that they will make the assessments, although the views of the woman's own GP will be taken into consideration.
The clinic's services will also be available to women from the Republic of Ireland, if they meet the legal criteria in Northern Ireland.
The strict rules on abortion in Northern Ireland do not prevent women from travelling to the rest of the UK for the procedure.
A 24-week limit for abortion applies in England, Wales and Scotland, where abortions are allowed under certain conditions, including that continuing with the pregnancy would involve a greater risk to the physical or mental health of the woman, or her existing children, than having a termination.
The permission of two doctors - or one in an emergency - is also needed.
Abortions after 24 weeks are allowed in Britain but only in extreme circumstances - if there is grave risk to the life of the woman, evidence of severe foetal abnormality, or risk of grave physical and mental injury to the woman.
Abortion Rights welcomed its opening.

Some clans are composed of professional gamerswho enter competitive tournaments for cash or other prizes; most, however, are simply groups of like-minded players that band together for a mutual purpose for example, a gaming-related interest or social group.
