Course Redesign
Through his experiences in redesigning several courses to include active learning approaches, Dr. Hughes will provide practical advice and specific examples of engaging activities to assist faculty who are interested in trying new approaches to improve student learning.
Online/Blended Instruction
Dr. Hughes has taught both fully-online and blended (hybrid) courses and has also conducted research on student learning using these modes of instruction in biology courses. In this talk, he will discuss how to develop learning objects for online courses or supplements as well as how to publish these objects in the ASM's MicrobeLibrary.
Early Research Experiences for Undergraduates
As co-director for UNT's implementation of the National Genomics Research Initiative (sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science Education Alliance), Dr. Hughes will provide details on how this research course for beginning freshmen has been implemented and institutionalized at a large research university.
Classroom-based Research Experiences
Dr. Hughes has helped develop and teach advanced undergraduate laboratory courses integrated with faculty research interests. He can provide examples of research-based courses developed at his institution and outcomes from these experiences.
Teaching with the ASM Curriculum Guidelines
In 2011, ASM released curriculum guidelines for undergraduate microbiology. Dr. Hughes has adapted his microbiology course for majors to utilize these guidelines along with active learning approaches. He will discuss his experiences using the curriculum guidelines to develop his course.

He devotes a large part of the book to his experiences of the First World War, where he gives a detailed description of trench warfare, including the tragic incompetence of the Battle of Loos. Many readers will be interested in his secondhand description of the killing of German prisoners of war by British, Canadian and Australian troops. Although he had not witnessed any incidents himself and knew of no large-scale massacres, he knew of a number of incidents where prisoners had been killed individually or in small groups, and he believed that a large proportion of Germans who surrendered never made it to prisoner-of-war camps.
Graves was severely traumatized by his war experience. After he was wounded, he endured a five day train journey amid squalor and unchanged bandages. The trench telephone scared him such that he never lived with the technology for the rest of his life (he received an electric shock because the line was struck by lightning). Upon his return home, he describes being haunted by ghosts and nightmares. Laura Riding, Graves' lover, is credited with being a "spiritual and intellectual midwife" to the work, which made him famous.
Graves heavily revised his book and re-published it in 1957 with many significant events and figures either excised or added.
Graves states that the objects of his autobiography, written at the age of thirty-three, are simple enough:
... an opportunity for a formal good-bye to you and to you and to you and to me and to all that; forgetfulness, because once all this has been settled in my mind and written down and published it need never be thought about again.
His mother's father's family were the von Ranke's - Leopold von Ranke, his great uncle, was the first modern historian. His mother was sent to England at the age of eighteen as companion to a lonely old woman and met his father was at that time a widower with five children. His father's family - the Graveses - were Irish, his grandfather being the Church of Ireland Bishop of Limerick. His father is both a poet and an inspector of schools for the Southwark district of London and his early childhood is spent growing up in the family home in Wimbledon. The family also holidayed at his mother's house at Harlech in North Wales where Graves first began to climb to overcome his fear of heights.
He goes to Charterhouse where he was bullied for appearing on the school list as R. von R. (Ranke) Graves. He joins the school Poetry Society, consisting of only seven members, and is advised by a friend to take up boxing to cope with the bullying. He also has a relationship with a boy three years younger, called Dick, which gets him into trouble with his housemaster but is only reprimanded. His life at Charterhouse is also made more bearable by George Mallory, an unconventional master at the school, who befriends Graves and they go climbing together in Wales.
Graves is at Harlech when war was declared. He says he decided to enlist as:
... I thought it might last just long enough to delay my going to Oxford in October which I dreaded ... I entirely believed that France and England had been drawn into the war which they had never contemplated ...I was outraged at the cynical violation of Belgian neutrality.
He enlists with the Royal Welch Fusiliers at its Wrexham regimental depot but the Harlech golf secretary arranges for him to get a commission. His first duty is to guard an internment camp with 50 Special Reservists at Lancaster before he is sent to France in 1915. As one of six officers, he is attached - much to his initial disgust - to the Welsh Regiment, most of whose recruits are either over-age or under-age boys. Graves gives a graphic description of his first few months of trench warfare at Cambrin where he tries to avoid incoming shells and rifle bullets. His life is made easier by having a very civilised commander, Captain Dunn, who takes his junior officers into his confidence, and strikes up a good relationship with the Welsh infantrymen.
As the summer advances, new types of bombs and trench-mortars are introduced, new improved gas masks are introduced and there is heavier shelling. Graves also describes the constant mining going on by both the British and Germans in the Cambrin-Cuinchy sector. At the end of July, he and a fellow officer get orders to proceed to the Laventie sector to join the Second Battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers. They are met with a frosty reception by the adjutant and learn that the special reservists are held in low esteem by the regular officers, and there is none of the informality experienced in the Second Welsh Regiment. Junior officers below the rank of Captain - new ones are referred to as 'warts' - are not allowed to speak in the mess or use the gramophone. However, Graves finds it highly professional in warfare and, as a new officer, has to go out on night patrol - a risky venture as a German patrol would cut the throat of a soldier who was wounded and caught, just as the British would cosh a German to strip him of his badges to help with intelligence. He mentions that the German officers let their N.C.O.'s do patrols: 'They did not, as one of our sergeant-majors put it, believe in keeping a dog and barking themselves.'
An offensive against La Bassée as a part of the Battle of Loos is planned, and Graves is given leave (officers received it every six or eight months). He is surprised by 'the general indifference to and ignorance about the war' in London, and decides to spend the rest of his leave walking in the hills around Harlech. The Royal Welch relieve the Middlesex at Cambrin and are given their objectives and the use of gas - referred to as accessory - is planned in the assault. The assault takes place, with the Royal Welch supporting the Middlesex (whom they liked as they were drawn together in their dislike for the Scots or 'Jocks' in the Argyll and Sutherland), but it ends up a disaster. The men do not receive their normal rum ration and the gas spreads back into their trenches owing to lack of wind. Most of the companies in the assault are machine-gunned caught on the wire - the Middlesex and the Royal Welch B and C Companies, as well as the Argyll and Sutherland - but the Germans behave generously in letting the wounded be recovered that night. The assault recommences at 4 p.m. the next day but at 9 p.m. the attack is called off. This was the only period when Graves' relations with his men are like those he had with the Welsh Regiment (for example he calls his adjutant Charley) but later discipline reasserted itself.
There is a reorganisation at Annezin and Graves describes the general dislike for the French - 'we found them a thoroughly unlikeable people, and it was difficult to sympathize with their misfortunes.' The village peasants are greedy, despite receiving billeting allowance money and benefitting from the soldiers' spending (they received 4 shillings every ten days), and even watering down the beer - Graves sees barrels of already thin beer being watered from the canal with a hose-pipe.
Graves' remaining trench service with the Second Battalion that autumn is uneventful. He had now been in the trenches for five months and confesses to being past his prime:
For the first three weeks an officer was not much good in the trenches; he did not know his way about, had not learned the rules of health and safety, and was not yet accustomed to recognising degrees of danger. Between three weeks and four months, he was at his best, unless he happened to have any particular bad shock or sequence of shocks. Then he began gradually to decline in usefulness as neurasthenia developed in him. As six months he was still more or less all right; but by nine or ten months, unless he had a few week's rest on a technical course or in hospital, he began to be a drag on the other members of the company. After a year or fifteen months he was often worse than useless.
In November, Graves joins the First Battalion reorganising after the Loos fighting which delights him as it is easier to live in than the Second being less old-fashioned in its militarism and more human. It is at this time that he meets Siegfried Sassoon as Graves is getting his first book of poems - Over the Brazier - ready for press, and his battalion also gets a much earned rest with divisional training at Montagne in the back areas. Here, there is much more informal discussion about the war and everyone agrees that arms-drill was one of the main contributing factors for good regimental morale.
Graves rejoins the First Battalion in the line on the Somme. It is here that his friend, David Thomas, is killed by a bullet through the throat. Graves returns to London on leave in April 1916 for a nose operation in a military hospital in order to be able to use the new gas masks that have been introduced (his nose was broken in boxing and he had recently displaced the septum). He also buys a cottage near Harlech to be part of his mother's property portfolio and writes three poems. He rejoins the Third Battalion and a raid is planned against German lines in revenge for a German mine that wiped out most of B Company, but his role is simply to write it up for the regiment's records. Four days after the raid, they find out that they are due for the Somme and Graves joins D Company which is ordered to attack High Wood, along with the Cameronians and The Public Schools Battalion, the latter a ramshackle affair of non-entities. During this attack, Graves is wounded by an eight-inch shell and is transported to hospital; his Colonel believes he is dead and writes to his parents but Graves meets an aunt visiting the hospital who informs his mother that he is very much alive.
Graves and Sassoon meet up at Harlech where Sassoon is at work on his Old Huntsman. In December Graves passes a medical board and returns to the Second Battalion in January 1917. One night he and a Sergeant Meredith have to go out in search of two highly prized horses, escaped from a bombed transport limber, and Graves catches bronchitis (the horses were eventually found in the act of being disguised by a machine gun company of Fourth Division). He is sent to Oxford to Somerville College Hospital and here is able to have tea with the pacifists, Philip and Lady Ottoline Morrell, at Garsington Manor where he is able to meet writers like Aldous Huxley, Lytton Strachey and the Hon. Bertrand Russell, as well as Arnold Bennett and John Galsworthy. Graves is then moved to a convalescent home for officers at Osborne House and befriends the French Benedictine Fathers at their new abbey at Quarr, managing to forestall their attempts to convert him to Catholicism.
Sassoon is shot through the throat during heaving fighting in the Hindenburg Line and, during his convalescence in England, writes 'Finished with the War - A Soldier's Declaration (July 1917). Graves has himself passed fit for Home Service (even though he is not) in order to lend support to Sassoon and manages to get him in front of a medical board, at which Graves is able to give evidence as a friend of the patient, and persuades the three board members to send Sassoon to a convalescent home for neurasthenics at Craiglockhart, near Edinburgh, run by W. H. R. Rivers, a neurologist, ethnologist and psychologist, and it is here that Graves also meets Wilfred Owen, 'He was a quiet, round-faced little man.'
Graves ends up being sent to Oswestry, and renews his ties with the Nicholson family. He began a correspondence with Nancy - the daughter - about some children's rhymes which she was going to illustrate and, on his next leave in October 1917, realized he was in love with her. He visited her at the farm where she was working as a land girl at Hilton in Huntingdonshire. At Rhyl, Graves is given his first independent command, following an invasion scare of the north-east coast, and sees Nancy again in December, when he went to London, and they decide to get married (she was eighteen and he twenty-two), and George Mallory was the best man. A job is found for Nancy at a market gardener's near the camp at Rhyl and she comes to live with Graves and soon becomes pregnant, so stops her land work and goes back to her drawing. Sassoon writes that 'hospitable life was nearly unbearable; the feeling of isolation was the worst' and requests that he be returned to France rather than held in a training battalion, and Graves comments:
The fact was that the direction of Siegfried's unconquerable idealism changed with his environment; he varied between happy warrior and bitter pacifist.
Graves continues 'mechanically' at his cadet -battalion work, his hopes of going out to Palestine thwarted, as well as working on his book of poems, Country Sentiment, until the Armistice came in November 1918 and he describes his reaction to it: 'The news sent me out walking alone along the dyke above the marshes of Rhuddlan (an ancient battle-field, the Flodden of Wales) cursing and sobbing and thinking of the dead.'
Graves joins the Third Battalion of the Royal Welch after the birth of his daughter, Jenny, but after a while decides to resign his commission. He, Nancy and the baby move to the house in Harlech, that Nicholson lends them, and in October 1919 he goes up to Oxford, renting a cottage from John Masefield at the bottom of his garden on Boar's Hill - any area where a number of poets live, including the Poet Laureate, Edmund Blunden (attending the same course as Graves), and Gilbert Murray. Graves also meets T. E. Lawrence at a guest-night at All Souls', after he had just been given a college fellowship and they become close friends, with Lawrence making some improvements to Graves' The Pier Glass. He and Nancy also meet up with Thomas Hardy at his house in Dorchester on their bicycle ride to Devonshire. Following Nancy's helping out at her old nurse's fancy-goods shop, they decide to set up a shop at Boar's Hill which at first is successful, but the pressures of their growing family lead to them appointing a manager and trade drops off until, after six months, they are forced to sell at a five hundred pound loss. Disillusioned, they decide to look for another cottage and eventually find one at Islip, which Graves' mother buys and they rent for 10s. a week. Graves' association with the local Labour Party severs his relations with the local village gentry and makes relations more difficult with his parents.
Graves fails to sit his Oxford finals after his tutor, Sir Walter Raleigh, dies and he confesses that his writing - a volume of poems published every year between 1920 and 1925 - was below standard given the fact that he was having to bring up four young children and the distractions entailed. However, it was during this time that he became interested in dream-psychology as a means of curing himself. By 1926, most of their friends are either abroad or dead (Rivers, Mallory, Sam Harries, a young Balliol scholar). With Nancy in poor health and their finances in a poor state, Graves completes his thesis, Poetic Unreason, and takes up a post as professor of English Literature at the newly-founded Egyptian University at Cairo (one of his recommendations is from Colonel John Buchan). Despite enjoying the country, the job is unappealing and they return to Islip at the end of the academic year. After finishing a book on T. E. Lawrence (published in 1927 as Lawrence and the Arabs and very successful commercially), Nancy and Graves part company on May 6, 1929, and he finished this autobiography in just over a month, having, in his own words, 'learned to tell the truth - nearly.'
The uneasy sense of prophecy that preceded the Great War bore only a small relation to its actual reality. When the Great War came, it proved more terrible, more dehumanizing than any dystopian fantasy, more damaging to the European political and social order than any prediction. The writers who were to record it, of which Robert Graves was one, found that they had to forgo all lyricism, sentimentality or romanticism. The war was a crisis not simply for the subject matter of fiction - heroism and bravery, the value of the individual life and social history - but for its very power of representation.
The Great War, with its mass slaughter without victory, also challenged every traditional idea of warfare, and overthrew the decorums within which all writing of war and death had previously been contained. A vivid comment was made by the German critic, Walter Benjamin, who notes:
A generation that had gone to school on a horse-drawn streetcar now stood under the open sky in a countryside in which nothing remained unchanged but the clouds, and beneath those clouds, in a field of force of destructive torrents and explosions, was the tiny, fragile human body.
The fiction of the Twenties was dominated by the war novel; by 1930 it's estimated that seven hundred books had been written on the war. By the end of the decade, when it had become clearer how little the war had achieved in creating European stability or worthwhile social change, the climate of historical dismay, impotent outrage and anxious pessimism amongst Graves and his war contemporaries had greatly increased. This was made plain in a whole sequence of war, or in fact anti-war books, such as Edmund Blunden's Undertones of War, Siegfried Sassoon's Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, R. C. Sherriff's Journey's End, Henry Williamson's The Wet Flanders Plain and Robert Graves' Good-bye to All That. Most of these works indicated that all the war had done was to leave its survivors and successors in a shattered, unmanageable, directionless world. As Graves himself describes his own shattered state on his return to civilian life:
I was still mentally and nervously organized for war; shells used to come bursting on my bed at midnight, even when Nancy was sharing it with me; strangers in day-time would assume the faces of friends who had been killed ... I was very thin, very nervous and had about four years' loss of sleep to make up ...if I saw more than two new people in a single day it prevented me from sleeping. I was ashamed of myself as a drag on Nancy ... I knew that it would be years before I was fit for anything besides a quiet country life.

I used to be a high functioning person as a transactional real estate attorney. Now I can't work, in fact I was fired from my last two jobs. I started working at age 13 as a grunt maintenance man in a private park. My whole life has revolved around work and education. I even worked full time and went to law school at night. Up until about 4 years ago I was still working, but I got fired twice from my last two jobs, got diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's and now I can't work. I'm now 65 but I was probably 58 +/- when it started.
My mom died of heart disease at the age of 55. Her mom, my Granny, and her sister, my Aunt Lucille, and her neice, my cousin Jennifer, all died from the perils of Alheimer's. I know in my heart my mom is grateful she did not have to suffer like her family did for so many years. Granny was divorced, living alone in Houston when we moved to New Jersey. We would get calls from police in Houston about Granny being found walking the streets in the middle of the night.
My Mom has had Alzheimers disease for 2 years. Imagine seeing your Mom fade away and theres nothing you can do to stop it. The simple things are not simple to do anymore for my Mom. Like take a bath, get dressed, get a drink of ginger ale. The last 2 years I and my Mom have been on alot of vacations together. My Mom enjoys them and we have fun together. It gives my Dad some time for himself. I do what every I can to help my parents. What I wish for that the Goverment would provide more funding to find a cure for this terrible disease.

CAPTCHA tests have been annoying many internet users for some time now, but one disabled Australian has finally had enough, starting a petition to encourage major companies to get rid of the tests. Wayne Hawkins is a blind resident of Sydney who is sick of having CAPTCHA tests prevent him from easily accessing the web, and is calling for it to be killed "once and for all".
Hawkins highlights how CAPTCHA tests are not only inaccessible for disabled citizens, but also frustrating for all internet users. They can't be read by screen-reading software by design, which prevents blind people from using their usual tools to fill out CAPTCHA-protected forms, the audio versions are often completely incomprehensible, and the words displayed are often ridiculous or illegible for sighted people.

This comprehensive formula contains four plant-based ingredients that are each scientifically shown to promote weight loss … plus a fifth that helps inhibit after-meal glucose surges. All in one stimulant-free, natural blueberry-flavored, powdered drink mix.
LuraLean® (propolmannan) – a proprietary fiber that swells in the stomach after ingestion with water to help reduce calorie consumption. It binds to bile acids in the small intestine and helps transport them out of the body.1 These bile acids otherwise facilitate the digestion and assimilation of dietary fat into the bloodstream. LuraLean® propolmannan also slows the rapid emptying of ingested food into the small intestine, reducing the surge of glucose entering the bloodstream. And LuraLean® works better than other fibers because its enzymes have been removed, sparing it from degradation in the digestive tract.2-8 This enables LuraLean® to form a stable viscous barrier to help impede calorie absorption and maintain its sponge-like activity throughout the digestive tract. In placebo-controlled studies, LuraLean® (propolmannan) induced moderate weight loss of up to 7.92 pounds on average in 8 weeks along with significant reductions in fasting lipid and post-meal glucose/insulin levels.9,10
White Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) – inhibits amylase, the digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates to be absorbed into the bloodstream as glucose. Phaseolus vulgaris has produced weight loss of 6.5 pounds on average in 30 days and abdominal fat reductions.11-13
Irvingia gabonensis (African mango extract) – has amylase digestive enzyme inhibiting properties.14 Irvingia also favorably regulates leptin to decrease appetite and facilitate triglyceride removal from adipocytes (fat cells). It also regulates adiponectin to facilitate insulin sensitivity,15 and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to inhibit glucose from converting to triglyceride fat in adipocytes.16 Irvingia has demonstrated weight loss of 20 pounds on average in 10 weeks in placebo-controlled trials.15
Green Tea Phytosome – boosts resting metabolic rate17 and helps impede the lipase enzyme used to facilitate dietary fat breakdown. This proprietary green tea phytosome has been shown to absorb much better into the bloodstream than conventional green tea. It induced 30.1 pounds of weight loss on average in 90 days when combined with a reduced calorie diet.18
CoffeeGenic® Green Coffee Extract – is standardized to 50% chlorogenic acids for maximum potency and effect in helping to maintain healthy glucose levels already within normal range.19 Chlorogenic acids have been shown to inhibit excess activity of glucose-6-phosphatase,20,21 the enzyme that triggers glucose formation from noncarbohydrate substrates and glycogen release from the liver, both of which can create excess glucose in the blood.22 Chlorogenic acids also target inhibition of alpha-glucosidase, an intestinal enzyme that breaks apart complex sugars and enhances their absorption into the bloodstream.23 A 200 mg clinical dose of this extract was shown to induce a 14% drop in after-meal glucose spikes within 30 minutes.24
This stimulant-free, natural blueberry flavored, powdered drink mix will help cut your appetite; block absorption of starches, dietary fats and calories; boost your resting metabolic rate; help break down stored body fat; and even help you manage your blood glucose level already within normal range.
This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

Do you talk with strangers?
This weekend I struck up three conversations with total strangers at the Reds game we attended. Not that these men were men I expected to be able to know beyond those conversations about sports, Cincinnati, or local culture, but it was nice to talk at length with each of them. I decided again that this is good practice for meeting my future man. Something I need to do more of. Even though I am outgoing and a good communicator, I do need to push myself in more venues to talk with men I don't know.
Do you strike up conversations with total strangers? How do you respond to a stranger who initiates a conversation with you (like I did this weekend?) Where do these kind of encounters happen for you?

Korn's 11th album?
What do you hope to see for Korn's 11th album?

Re: Korn's 11th album?
Continuation of the dubstep infusion and "more bagpipe" and a making up and reunion with Head :).

Re: Korn's 11th album?
I really hope there's no more dubstep. Not saying I hate it, but POT is my least favorite album by Korn. Kinda disappointing by it. I hope to at least hear something like Korn III again. Maybe even something like their first six albums (when Head was here).
Re: Korn's 11th album?
I would love to see Head back for a tour, and songs like "Falling Away From Me" and "Make Me Bad" on the album.

Re: Korn's 11th album?
I heard that they will be dumping the dubstep in favour of a new direction.
Jon is working closely with pop sensations Mino and Amaraa.
Here's one of their previous songs
Skip to 1:10 for the song, it has a slow start.
I honestly can't wait to see what KoRn can come up with once they add some of Amaraa's vocals into the mix.
This just goes to show what an innovative band KoRn can still be. It's like FTL all over again!
Re: Korn's 11th album?
I hope that they do what they want, what makes them happy. That is first and foremost. So important.
I would love to see them come out with again something new to bring to my ears, something that will blow me away. Path blew me away. Every album they've done has so I am sure that their eleventh will not disappoint.
I trust which way they decide to go. They haven't failed me yet.
"Sometimes, I hate, the life, I made
everything's wrong every time"
Re: Korn's 11th album?
Rather than being quick to discuss what the 11th could be, maybe it would be worth exploring if they should do an 11th.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
I hope a new Korn album that will bring something new again like they always do. Maybe 1 or 2 songs with Head, but not a full album. Anyway, I just trust in Korn, it always will be awesome, so don't worry...
Re: Korn's 11th album?
On 2nd February 2012 during a chat converstation with fans on Korn fansite Kornspace, David Silveria was quoted as saying; "I just wanted be in a rock band and tour the world and play for huge crowds." "Yes we did that, but then add huge constant drama, egos and bad attitudes, and the childhood dream starts slipping away." "Finally the fun and joy was gone for me so it was time to go." "Munky and I were always cool." "I miss him very much."
Sounds like Jon and Fieldy are drama queens.
I love how everyone has been expecting Head to come back for the last SEVEN years. Yeah, sure, that will fix everything.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
It be nice if Head came back and made even a little cameo. But it be nice to hear a mix of all their different musik. Life is Peachy with a little bit of Issues but a side of Untouchables; pretty much a mix of all their albums. That be nice. I've liked all their albums to date but my least liked one would be the POT. I can't really hear Jonathan when he sings sometimes and sometimes I really just sit there and listen to one song on repeat for hours to get it. Narcissistic Cannibal is a pretty sick song though.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
As long as its heavy and still sounds like Korn - it doesn't matter what kind of album it is.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
Whatever they do they will be brilliant. Recently I read Mr Davis' interview with Metal Hammer and he said that Korn will do something new. I really don't mind whatever the hell they do. I support them as long as they don't collaborate with Justin Bieber.
"Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything."
Re: Korn's 11th album?
Something new for sure, preferably not dubstep.
I really like the idea of an album that is influenced by everything they have done before, that would be great!
As long as it's not a collaboration (i.e. just KoRn) I will be happy.
I'd really like KoRn Kovers
Re: Korn's 11th album?
Something new like always something great and no more dub step not that it sounded bad just it was too much
Re: Korn's 11th album?
I want them to do an angry album. AND to make songs with two hearable guitars, not just one.
Munky got to step his game up.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
i'd like to see some longer songs with some crazy song structures.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
I want to see them get sick with it again. The raw emotion in their first two albums are unbeatable.
SUMMARY: Bring in Ross.
Re: Korn's 11th album?
well i just hope its something different
but has for what i want
Heavy songs- Messugaaah math metal style i think that would fit korn
some acoustic style songs ...... Grunge style like they were going 2 do
the rest of the album do a Cali style album songs LIKe Red hot chlli peppers FNM and some POP elements in there songs like No doubt and Sublime
also have some guest artist on the album
i think that would be cool
i really think they should do a double album or 4 EPs i think they got enough material and ideas or it seems like they do
Re: Korn's 11th album?
I hope we get another album like SYOTOS but a little heavier, the whole direction and sound KoRn went with for SYOTOS had potential (just listen to the B-sides). Unfortunately they chose some bad songs to make the final cut. With that said though I still enjoy SYOTOS and would love a heavier album in that direction. But this is KoRn lol, so I'm sure we'll be getting something completley new and different!
...Oh and I hope JD pulls out the bagpipes on a few songs, and does some awesome scat vox!
Re: Korn's 11th album?
Korn's 11th studio album snapshot by kornofficial through on twitter...

Look closely & whicha y'all think about this officially image by korn. i hope this photo is limited. this would be awesome..

It's Great If Your Not A Celebrity? It's Just Creativity & Immortality.

Corn exportsFor the 2012 crop year, U.S. corn exports are projected to be a paltry 715 million bushels, the lowest level since 1970.
By: Daryll E. Ray and Harwood Shaffer, Agweek
Corn is, without a doubt, the most important crop grown by U.S. farmers and yet for the 2012 crop year, U.S. corn exports are projected to be a paltry 715 million bushels, the lowest level since 1970. In addition, for the first time since 1970, wheat exports exceeded corn exports.
The short explanation for this situation lays blame on a severe drought in the major corn production areas in the U.S. The longer explanation is a bit more complicated than that. The drought is just part of a larger story that has played out in the past half-century.
In 1960, U.S. corn production was less than 4 billion bushels, nearly the same as non-U.S. corn production. By 2010, U.S. corn production had tripled to 12.5 billion bushels before falling to 10.8 billion bushels in 2012. During that same period, non-U.S. corn production increased to 20.3 billion bushels.
While both U.S. and non-U.S. yields tripled between 1960 and 2010, U.S. harvested acres increased by 25 percent. At the same time, non-U.S. corn harvested acres increased by 90 percent, accounting for all of the gain in production, relative to the U.S.
World corn exports as a percent of domestic consumption was 7.2 percent in 1960. By 1975, world exports had jumped to more than 16 percent of domestic consumption and remained above that level until 1982 when it fell to 14 percent. In the years since 1982, corn exports relative to domestic consumption have remained below 16 percent, falling to 10.7 percent in 2012.
At 275 million bushels in 1960, U.S. exports were almost half of world corn exports. In 1972 U.S. corn exports jumped to 77.9 percent of world corn exports and remained above 70 percent for 16 of the next 23 years. In five of those years, the U.S. share of world corn exports exceeded 80 percent, including 1995. With the drought in 2012, it was the non-U.S. exports that stood at 80 percent, a level unseen in the preceding 52 years.
The 1970s was a time of unprecedented growth in U.S. corn exports. Growth continued into in the early 1980s, but fell sharply in the mid-1980s. While the U.S. share of world corn exports was relatively high off and on over part of the period after the mid-1980s, there has been no upward trend in U.S. corn exports during the past 28 years.
Non-U.S. corn exports on the other hand have expanded greatly, reaching 1 billion bushels in 1999 and hitting 3 billion bushels in both 2011 and 2012. In 2012, for the first time, the U.S. was not the world's largest exporter of corn, falling to third behind Brazil and Argentina. As recently as 1998, Brazil exported just 315,000 bushels, compared with 965 million bushels in 2012.
Clearly, corn production and exports are subject to long-term trends. For production, the trend has been decidedly upward in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. Increases in technology and the rate of adoption of new technologies have the potential to keep this trend going.
So what does all this tell us?
Beginning with the 1985 farm bill, the U.S. has pursued policies thought to be consistent with getting grain exports — corn exports specifically — back on an upward trend similar to the 1970s. Those efforts have been doomed to failure in large measure by the steady increase in corn acreage in the rest of the world. Furthermore, additional future increases in worldwide corn acreages will be coming from places like Brazil, not the U.S. Also, the rate of increase in non-U.S. corn yields may well accelerate in the future.
The U.S. will continue to be an important player in the corn export market. But declarations and farm policies predicated on the expectation that corn exports will be the primary driver for a prosperous U.S. agriculture are no more likely to deliver in the future than they have in the past nearly three decades.

I am very new to Android. I got 2 samsung tab 2 7.0 for my kids and Galaxy note 10.1 for myself last week. I set up these devices using my same gmail account, so that I could get the games on all devices.The problem now is my emails, calenders and contact info are showing in all my device. I want to restrict this to be available only on my note. I don't want my emails, calender and other alerts to show up on my kids devices. How do I do that without loosing the ability of downloading games from google play and Amazon app store?
I have iphones and ipad(wife) where I can download on itunes and sync it. Is anything similar available on Android?

The Race-Baiting Continues
I've been holding off on writing something about the bizarre spectacle of the Derrick Bell "exposé" that has consumed the nuttier corners of the right in the last couple of days, simply because it's so weird and pathetic that I wasn't sure exactly how to talk about it beyond simple ridicule. In case you missed it, here's the story, briefly: Just before he died, conservative provocateur Andrew Breitbart said his web enterprises would soon release an explosive video that would transform the 2012 election by revealing Barack Obama's radical ties. The video turned out to be of something that was not only utterly unremarkable, but had been reported before. In 1991, when Obama was a student at Harvard Law School, the school was embroiled in a controversy over the under-representation of minorities on the faculty. Derrick Bell, the first black tenured professor at the school and a widely admired figure in legal circles, announced that he would take a leave until the school made efforts to hire more minority faculty. Obama spoke at a rally in support of Bell, and in support of more minorities on the faculty. And that's the shocking revelation. Oh, and one more thing that conservatives are up in arms about—they hugged. Really.
Over at Breitbart's web site, I count eight separate pieces on Derrick Bell (who died last year), trying to make the case that he was some kind of insane radical pushing radical theories of radicalism, all with the intention of oppressing white people, which is obviously what Barack Obama is up to as well. Just to get a flavor, here's an excerpt from one of the articles:
Racialism is so woven into the thinking of Bell, and many believe Barack Obama, any white individual, regardless of ideology or personal attribute lacks the ability to understand and relate racism in America. Consequently, the notion of racial quotas is not simply based upon some idea of equality of opportunity, they must be imposed as white's [sic] are inferior to blacks in an area Bell and Obama see as critical. While we like to think of equality as color blind, that is not the view Bell shared as a "truth" Obama embraced and encouraged others to do, as well.
You'll notice the chain of logic, though I use that term loosely: Here's an exaggeration of something Derrick Bell once said, "many believe" Obama thinks in the same way, here's a leap to a parody of policies Obama doesn't actually support, here's a conclusion about how Obama hates white people and wants to screw them.
From the beginning of Breitbart's enterprise, race-baiting was a key element of his attack on Barack Obama, one that continues even after his death. And he always had plenty of company, from Glenn Beck saying Obama "has a deep-seated hatred of white people," to Rush Limbaugh's repeated insistence to his white listeners that Obama was motivated by racial hatred in everything he did. "Obama's entire economic program is reparations," Limbaugh proclaimed. "The days of [minorities] not having any power are over, and they are angry," he said. "And they want to use their power as a means of retribution. That's what Obama's about, gang." When in 2009 he found a story about a white kid getting beaten up by a black kid on a school bus, Limbaugh said, "In Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, 'Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on.'" And yes, he did that last part in an exaggerated "black" accent.
The message is always the same: Obama and the blacks are mad, and they're coming for you. Yet people like the Breitbart folks and Limbaugh have two problems. First, they're running out of material. There aren't any more shocking revelations to be had. The best they can do is try to make mountains of racial resentment out of the most innocuous molehills, like the fact that Obama supported Derrick Bell's effort to diversify the faculty when he was a law student. And second, by now anyone who can be convinced that Obama is a secret Black Panther never thought otherwise. The guy has been president for three years. Americans are pretty familiar with him. He hasn't actually started herding white people into concentration camps, and it's an awfully tough sell to tell people that he might any day now.
This is a version of the larger problem conservatives have as we get into the 2012 election. The argument many of them will be making, in various forms, is this: Forget about what Obama has actually done. That doesn't tell you anything. Let me tell you a story about his secret desires, his wicked thoughts, his venomous heart. That's what your decision should be based on. You hear it from media bloviators, you hear it from interest groups, like the NRA screeching that if he's re-elected Obama will outlaw guns, and you hear it from Mitt Romney, who is forever claiming that deep down Obama doesn't much love America and wants to turn it into a European-style social-welfare state. Who are you going to believe, them, me, or or your own eyes?
Watching this stuff is immensely dispiriting, I'll grant you. But it should be some consolation that it doesn't seem to be working.

I re-read Paul Waldman's editorial and did not see 'basketball' or 'white boys' used at all. So any comments that don't affirm or deny what Waldman wrote must indicate a problem with reading comprehension or were intended for another op-ed and was mistakenly posted, I have to assume.
Mr. Waldman, I don't find the effort to incite racial division as dispiriting as you do. I've observed the same incitement by the Republican Party throughout my life at every presidential election since 1968, right after LBJ marshalled Congressional support to get the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act passed. In most of those elections, it was necessary to try and keep the South voting as a Republican bloc. Without it, there was no other path to victory.
At 3 years and 7 weeks, Obama is now the longest serving Democratic president who hails from north of the Mason-Dixon line in 67 years (since FDR). Couple that with the first 76 years between George Washington's election and the Thirteenth Amendment that abolished slavery, and that's 143 years that racial bigotry was an issue in presidential elections, out of the 223 years that the country's had presidents. And in reality, it's been at issue in more elections than that, as the nation wound through the Jim Crow era, right up through the 1948 election, after Truman desegregated the armed forces.
Both parties and other parties have played this race card for nearly all of our electoral history, but the card has been owned by the GOP alone since the 1968 election. In 2008, the effectiveness of that card was finally broken as parts of the South voted for a northern Democrat who also was black.
In short, the GOP strategy is clutching onto the last remnants of a card that's no longer a guarantee, because our country, as a whole, has grown to be more racially tolerant. I would be far more dispirited if the GOP was trying fresh ideas to counter Democratic party policies. Dividing the country via the hateful, oft-deadly race card is a strategy of people who lack the imagination to try something constructive, uniting or new.

If one wants to understand the difference in the intellectual acumen between the right and the left, just compare Mr. Hayden's reasoned comment with the pathetic trolling coming from our right wing guests. I look forward to the Republicans continuing to run on their dual platforms of "women who use birth control are sluts" and "Barack Obama is BLAAAAAAACK!" Should be a real winner in November. The fact that these folks consider a video (one that has been available online in its entirety for years) of the future President hugging a civil rights activist and Havard professor two decades ago to be scandalous speaks volumes. Fortunately, no one north of the Mason Dixon line or a GED has any interest in their sad little Kabuki theater.

Jim, Thanks for providing more evidence of my point. Since more refined arguments don't seem to resonate with you, let me use a cultural reference I'm sure you can relate to. Brietbart should have heeded Dean Wormer's advice: "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life." Come to think of it, it has been a rough couple of weeks for overweight, substance-addled, race baiting clowns.

HEARD the latest? The swine flu pandemic was a hoax: scientists, governments and the World Health Organization cooked it up in a vast conspiracy so that vaccine companies could make money.
Never mind that the flu fulfilled every scientific condition for a pandemic, that thousands died, or that declaring a pandemic didn't provide huge scope for profiteering. A group of obscure European politicians concocted this conspiracy theory, and it is now doing the rounds even in educated circles.
This depressing tale is the latest incarnation of denialism, the systematic rejection of a body of science in favour of make-believe. There's a lot of it about, attacking evolution, global warming, tobacco research, HIV, vaccines - and now, it seems, flu. But why does it happen? What motivates people to retreat from the real world into denial?
Here's a hypothesis: denial is largely a product of the way ...

NICEVILLE — Start spreading the news ... the New York Tenors have arrived!
Enjoy a night of Broadway, opera and American classics with three of New York's greatest talents on Saturday at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center at Northwest Florida State College.
Daniel Rodriguez, Andy Cooney and Michael Amante — The New York Tenors — will showcase some of the world's greatest repertoire in their national touring show.
Rodriguez, known as "The Singing Policeman" and "America's Tenor," soothed the nation's grief in the days after September 11.
Cooney, christened "Irish America's favorite son" by the New York Times, has performed internationally, including two sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall.
And Amante, "The People's Tenor," is a combination of All-American good looks, romantic Italian charm and an incredible voice.
Individually, the three men are superb, but together, The New York Tenors provide an overwhelming, "can't miss" showcase of some of the world's greatest vocalists and repertoire.
Tickets are $35 each or $30 each for groups of 10 or more tickets purchased together. For tickets, contact the Mattie Kelly Arts Center Box at 850- 729-6000 or 1-888-838-ARTS (2787) Monday to Friday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. or purchase online at the website: mattiekellyartscenter.org.
Tickets will also be sold the night of the show, availability permitting, starting at 6 p.m. At-the-door seating is the same price as advance tickets. There is a $2 per ticket box office processing fee.
The Mattie Kelly Arts Center is a performing arts venue located on the Niceville campus of NWF State College at 100 College Boulevard. For more information, show photos and video, visit the center's website.
Since the inception of the original The Three Tenors on July 7, 1990, in Rome at the Baths of Caracalla on the eve of the FIFA World Cup Final — featuring the world's greatest voices, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and the one and only Luciano Pavarotti — the doors have been opened wide for other great voices, such as the Irish Tenors, The Canadian Tenors and many other talented and renowned performers.
Performing individually and in concert with The New York Tenors, America first met Rodriguez during some of the darkest times of our nation's history. He was the New York City police officer whose amazing voice soothed our grief in the days following September 11. He continues to inspire, stir and embrace his listeners through his recordings and memorable live concert performances.
Amante, affectionately known as "The People's Tenor," is a combination of All-American good looks, romantic Italian charm and an incredible voice. Legendary performer Tony Bennett is quoted as saying, "Michael's remarkable range of notes and his ability to sing everything from opera, to Broadway, to contemporary, gives this tenor an intimate connection with anyone who hears him."
Cooney, christened by the New York Times as "Irish America's Favorite Son" has been taking the Irish-American scene by storm for the last 20 years. Andy's unique tenor voice has been heard in concert halls internationally, including two sold-out performances in New York's Carnegie Hall.
The New York Tenors combines the artistry of three men who alone are superb, but together provide an overwhelming 'can't-miss' showcase of song of the world's greatest vocalists and repertoire is not to be missed.

Usabilla offers quick visual feedback, but in some cases you might want to collect additional feedback from your participants or just some demographic data by conducting a traditional survey. There are plenty of wonderful survey tools out there that make your life easier (e.g SurveyGizmo, Wufoo, Polldady), and now we've released a new feature that allows you to seamlessly combine a Usabilla test with one of these tools.>
To introduce the feature we've created a demo case. Lets assume that a university wants to know what its students think of the faculty's homepage (universities love surveys!). So, they create a Usabilla test to get specific feedback on the homepage and a SurveyGizmo survey to get more generic feedback including some demographics of the users.
How to combine the two surveys in one?

The Green Book: Simple Ways to Save the Planet
"My hope is that people will see that a little shift of habit can make a difference; And that small changes we make can add up to make a big impact. And most of all that you don't have to give up a lot to make a difference. Try one less paper napkin a day. We use on average 6 per day, 2200 a year. If we all gave up one a day we'd save 1 billion pounds of paper waste from going to the landfills per year. It's just that easy!!"- Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen, authors of The Green Book.
This small encyclopedia of over 400 everyday solutions and easy lifestyle changes is a friendly and practical guide to respecting the planet and its resources. I was glad that I had the opportunity to review it for one of my other writing posts at Green Girls Global, an international collection of featured bloggers who have remarkable ideas about sustainable living. As an avid reader of the many green sites on the web, I didn't think that this book would surprise me. It did!

In case you haven't seen Al's previous posts, a few of us at Tech-Out are actually attending the sea of gaming madness called E3. Today was press-con day: Xbox, Electronic Arts (which I almost forgot I registered for), and Ubisoft. Instead of inundating you with reams of text about stuff you've probably already heard about (see links on the right side for actual news), me and Reggie will share our thoughts about some of the things that really clawed at our eyeballs and collective gaming psyches. No tears of joy were shed in the viewing of these conferences … except perhaps the from the Final Fantasy crowd. Oh yeah, and Steven Spielberg, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney showed up. That sets the tone for the discussion, which comes after the jump.
I start it off after the jump. And no, we haven't forgotten the fact that Hideo Kojima was there.
