Hello! I was searching the internet and found your Homeschool
Organization. The Continental Singers are putting together a Homeschool
"Performing Arts School" music missions tour. We are seeking kids that
are passionate about using their gifts to spread the Gospel of Christ.
I was hoping you might be able to refer someone to us from your choir
that might be "Continental" material. We're looking for vocalists and
dancers ages 12 - 16 that are homeschooled. Since the kids are being sent
out as short-term missionaries, they are encouraged to raise thier funding
for the trip. The tour will begin February 20 and travel until April 14,
2008. The group will begin in Los Angeles and will finish up in Los
Angeles.
If you would be able to recommend someone please contact me right away.
My office phone is 1-800-481-7464 (ext. 123). Feel free to email me if
you'd rather. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to provide you with
as much information about The Continentals or our Homeschool tour as you
needed. Also, please visit our website at www.continentalsingers.org
I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you for your time.
In His Service,

Nat'l Math Contests Info MathCounts and AMC8
You are receiving this message as part of MathMail, a mailing list for
dissemination of information on national math contests such as AMC,
USAMTS, MathCounts, NA&T, etc. If you know of someone else who would
like this information, please feel free to forward them this message.
Dear Math Enthusiast,
For those of you coaching students below 9th grade, we highly
recommend you participate in the MathCounts program, founded by the
National Society of Professional Engineers. National Assessment &
Testing believes the MathCounts program to be of very high quality,
and an excellent opportunity for your advanced students.
Registering for MathCounts results in your school receiving a School
Competition Kit, which includes instructions, the school competition
test, an answer key, recognition ribbons, and student participation
certificates. You will also receive the "MathCounts News"
publication, and you will be able to send up to eight students to
your local competition. MathCounts competitions consist of a Sprint
Round of 30 questions to be answered by an individual in 40 minutes,
a Target Round of four rounds in which individuals have six minutes
to solve two problems, a Team Round in which teams of four cooperate
to solve ten problems in twenty minutes, and a Countdown Round in
which pairs of students compete against one another and the clock to
solve problems. The Target and Team Rounds are the only ones that
allow the use of a calculator. High-scoring teams and individuals at
the local contest may advance to state and national competitions. The
MathCounts program allows participation by up to eight students from
your school, at a cost of ten dollars per student. You can learn more
about this contest at http://www.mathcounts.org and register online at
https://secure1.isproductions.net/mathcounts/webforms/registration0708.html
by December 8th at the latest.
Thank you,
Tom Clymer
Director of Academic Competitions

P.S. The AMC8 will take place on Tuesday, November 13th!
Registrations can still be submitted at
http://www.math.unl.edu/~amc/registration/start8.php.
P.P.S. Our 2007 Ciphering Time Trials will take place on Thursday,
December 13th, 2007. This test consists of ten rounds in which
individuals have three minutes to work on three problems. Problems
range from arithmetic to calculus, with two-thirds of the problems at

students at all levels of experience. Register online at

Albuquerque: First Friday Fractal Show, Nov 2!!
Hi everyone - it's been an exciting month in Fractal Land! We had a fantastic time at Balloon Fiesta, flying both fractal balloons 8 out of 9 days, with much beauty and grand adventure. If you were lucky, you might even have seen us among all those balloons...
And back down here on Earth, I've been doing all sorts of good things, including teaching the beauty of math and science through fractals to students at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, and the entire middle- and high school student body of Magdalena, NM. Also, I just got to present for the first time at the Public Academy for Performing Arts here in Albuquerque, a fine and creative institution. Then I opened the eyes and minds wide of the 3'd, 4'th and 5'th graders yesterday at Stapleton Elementary in Rio Rancho. And I graciously accepted a $9,100 grant from the Albuquerque Community Foundation at their annual luncheon this week, where I got to do a mini-fractal show for over 800 people from the philanthropic and non-profit communities. It was pretty exciting!
Speaking of exciting, I want to let you know that our next public show is coming up soon: It's First Friday Fractals, this Friday, November 2'nd at 6, 7, and 8 PM at the Planetarium in Albuquerque. As usual, it's a really good idea to buy your tickets ahead of time, which you can do through the link on our website, http://www.FractalFoundation.org I hope to see lots of you there this time. The shows continue to rock. (And I promise to play the extra-scary fractal zoom in honor of Dia de los Muertos and Hallowe'en.)
The grant we've received from Albuquerque Community Foundation will allow us to bring the experience of a First Friday Fractals show out into schools using a portable, inflatable dome, sharing the excitement and beauty of fractals with over a thousand students in Albuquerque. Yeay!!! I am still able to book more shows, so if you're a teacher or a parent and would like to invite us to your school, please contact me. This is a super-exciting opportunity! Thank you, Community Foundation!
And one final piece of great news. Soon Albuquerque will no longer be the only place in the world where you can see my dazzling fractal zooms. We're in the process of working out some deals with a few other planetariums to license these animated pieces, so that people all over the world can enjoy the beauty of fractals. I'll let you know all the details when everything is finalized - should be soon. These things are starting to spread, and it feels like we're really taking off. Maybe it is possible to make a living doing what I love, teaching Science, Math and Art...
