Everything you ever wanted to know about DLLs and Delphi but didn't know where to look for answers (or were to afraid to ask). Papers, tutorials, articles, code, what, how, why, when, where...
How to create a simple DLL using Delphi. A Dynamic Link library, or DLL, is a collection of routines (small programs) that can be called by applications and by other DLLs.
This article is aimed at removing the fear of writing DLLs for beginners. A lot of beginners think DLLs are really complex, when actually they are pretty simple.

An overview of creating and using 'Borland package libraries' and how they compare with 'dynamic link libraries' in creating smaller Delphi applications.
Need to modularize your application? Learn how to place a Delphi MDI child form into a dynamic link library (DLL) and how to display the child form inside an MDI parent window. Surprise: this is only possible when using run-time packages!
See how to create a Resource only DLL and dynamically use it.
This is a very simple demonstration of how to use forms in a DLL. It is useful when you wish to share forms amongst applications without sharing the code beneath them
See how to actually control when the DLL is loaded into memory, and how to remove it from memory when we are finished using it.
This article explains the development of a dynamic link library (DLL) on the example of a DLL that save and restores the current position of a form.

Arizona Cardinals have no interviews scheduled for Thursday
No one else will be, either, according to Arizona Sports 620's Kyndra de St. Aubin.
Heard from Cardinals that NO interviews schedule today.— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) January 3, 2013
CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora tweeted something similar earlier in the day, citing the Bidwills' Fiesta Bowl commitments as a reason for inaction. The game, which will be played Thursday night at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, is pitting Oregon against Kansas State.
Reid was originally scheduled to leave for AZ on Wed. The Bidwells tied up with Fiesta Bowl obligations so difficult to do much there 2day— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 3, 2013
Of course, that does not mean the Cardinals won't be doing anything coaching-search related. As de St. Aubin later reported, candidate Ray Horton will be with Cardinals president Michael Bidwill at some point Thursday.

Mitt Romney Fills Illinois Airwaves With Negative Ads
Romney's camp and allied organizations have flooded Illinois with ads hitting Rick Santorum, outspending him 7-to-1 ahead of Tuesday's primary.
If Mitt Romney wins the Illinois Republican presidential primary as expected Tuesday, he can attribute his victory to a massive barrage of television advertising that overwhelmed his opponents.
Romney and his allied political action committee have outspent his closest rival, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, by 7-to-1 in Illinois, according to a survey by Politico. Just as important, they outspent Santorum by 21-to1 in the crucial Chicago media market. The overwhelming majority of that money went to TV ads, largely negative commercials against Santorum.
All told, Romney's campaign spent more than $1.1 million in Illinois and Restore Our Future PAC, which supports Romney, spent more than $2.5 million.
The Santorum campaign spent about $220,000 and the pro-Santorum Red, White and Blue Fund spent $312,000.

The Lake Orion Downtown Development Authority invites business owners and residents to discuss a potential property acquisition and parking lot project during a public meeting Tuesday, Feb. 12.
DDA Executive Director Suzanne Perreault said Dia Zaraga, who owns Sagebrush Cantina and several other downtown properties, has offered to donate 29 E. Front St. to the organization – but, with a catch. The building at that site, which has stood vacant for several years, would have to be razed and the property turned into a parking lot.
Zaraga could not be reached for comment.
"Parking is something that's pretty crucial downtown," Perreault said. "The parking lot is not cheap. We would have to suspend a lot of our other projects to put in our improvements."
She estimated the parking lot project would cost $150,000 to $175,000, but pointed out the property acquisition would come at no cost. The parking lot would create 30 to 35 free, public spaces at the corner of Front and Anderson, Perreault said.
Among the DDA projects that would have to be put on hold to free up funds for the work would be the following, she said.
- Facade grants: This project allots $1,000 to $5,000 grants to business owners to improve the exteriors of their buildings.
- Trail extension: The DDA has planned to extend the Paint Creek Trail into downtown, but still is waiting for an easement to be signed, which has delayed the project.
Perreault said additional funds for the parking lot work would come from the DDA's 2013 and 2014 fiscal year fund balances, as well as its property acquisition fund.
The public meeting, which will be held at 7:15 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Village Offices, will include a short presentation and cost analysis before the floor is opened up for public comment. Then, the DDA board will vote on the property acquisition, according to Perreault.
"It's going to be a pretty important meeting for us," she said.
If you go
- When: 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12.
- Where: Village Offices at 37 E. Flint Street.
- Why go: Learn about a proposed property acquisition and parking lot project at 29 E. Front St.
- What else: Contact DDA Executive Director Suzanne Perreault at 248-693-9742 or email@example.com for more information.

High School Wrestling Team Banned From Wearing Bikinis To Gather Attention To There Carwash
BOISE -- Wearing a bikini top to wash cars has caused some controversy for some local high school athletes.
The Centennial Wrestling team was told they could not wear bikini tops to try and get attention at their car wash, even though the cheerleaders across the street can.
For several, Saturday's the day the Centennial Wrestling team has been dedicating it's time to washing cars. But their method to raise money is being called controversial and offensive. The district put a stop to it, and now the team is trying to find another way to be creative.
For the past three years, members of the Centennial Wrestling team would put on bikini tops for their fund raising car wash.
It was a gimmick to get more money than their competition, the bikini clad girls washing cars across the street.
"We were having to compete with cheerleaders down the road and obviously girls have different bodies than boys do and they are able to sell those assets and we are not and we needed to find a way to compete with them and it seemed to be working and we were making more money than they were," said Michelle Letourneau, a mother of one of the wrestlers.
Funds had doubled and the team was thrilled.
Wrestler Ty Morris was one of them, and he says the look evened the playing field.
"The bikini was the way that people would come over and look at them, listen to them, it got attention," Morris said.
It did get attention, even from a woman who didn't find the boys humorous.
"I received a complaint from a member of the community in regards to the boy car wash and what she informed me was that some of our athletes had put on bikini tops and they were flashing cars, lifting the bikini tops as they were driving along, said Joe Yochum of the Meridian School District.
A move deemed inappropriate by the one caller and the school district.
So the boys were told to take their tops off. And they did -- only to return to the Ustick and 5 Mile parking lot of an Albertsons with a new idea.
"We have brought t-shirts down and the boys have drawn bikinis on them, not to defy authority, but to say hey we can make a compromise here and still try to create some attention to bring the cars in you know," Letourneau said.
"Its a wise choice, said Joseph Reed, a car wash customer. They are getting the car wash done, but following the rules and regulations of doing it.
"That's not how we want the students to represent themselves and the school district and thats why we said that's inappropriate and we can't do that any longer," Yochum said.
Despite not agreeing, the boys are wearing their t-shirts and still calling for cars, hoping to make money to keep wrestling.
"It's too bad and we will learn from it I guess," Letourneau said.
That was pretty creative on their part. Some of these people that get "offended" need to grow the fuck up.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'

Security incident database public access: SCADA, manufacturing, process control cyber security info
The newly formed, non-profit Security Incidents Organization announced it will provide public access to The Repository of Industrial Security Incidents (RISI).
The newly formed, non-profit Security Incidents Organization announced it will provide public access to The Repository of Industrial Security Incidents (RISI), it announced July 20. RISI is an industry-wide repository for collecting, investigating, analyzing and sharing critical information regarding cyber security incidents that directly affect SCADA, manufacturing and process control systems. With over 150 incidents, RISI is the largest known collection of industrial cyber security incidents.
Modeled after similar safety incident databases, RISI provides subscribers with reliable information that allows them to learn from others' experiences, understand the risks associated with industrial cyber-threats and adapt their current security policies in step with changing industrial cyber-security dynamics.
RISI has a history dating back to early 2001, when academic researchers developed a database called the Industrial Security Incidents Database (ISID). In 2008 several private cyber security experts, building on ISID, began collaboration on the RISI project with a goal of making the information available to the entire industrial automation community.
The Security Incidents Organization was established in 2009 to fulfill this goal by operating the RISI database, researching incidents and making the results of that research publically available. For more information about The Security Incidents Organization or RISI log on to www.securityincidents.org .
Security Incidents Organization, founded in 2009, says it is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to collect, investigate, analyze and share critical information regarding industrial cyber security incidents on a nondiscriminatory basis. Security Incidents is guided by an Advisory Board comprised of leading industrial automation users, consultants and suppliers, the group says.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Study to See if Kentucky Kingdom is Eligible for State Incentives
The Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority will study to see if an application from the group seeking to redevelop Kentucky Kingdom meets the criteria for incentives that could be worth as much as $10 million over 10 years.
The study is expected to be done in six to eight weeks. Last week, the Kentucky State Fair Board approved a lease agreement with a group led by Louisville businessman Ed Hart.
Here's more from the authority:
A lease agreement for the project was approved last week by the Kentucky State Fair Board, which owns the property where the park is located. Kentucky Kingdom closed in 2009, and the developers plan for it to reopen in 2014.
The authority considers applications under the Kentucky Tourism Development Act, which allows eligible tourism attractions a rebate of sales tax up to 25 percent of project capital costs over a 10-year period. Projects must meet certain criteria to be eligible, such as having a positive economic impact for the Commonwealth and attracting at least 25 percent of guests from out of state. The rebate is based on sales tax generated by the tourism attraction.

- Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl; set aside. Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Dip dill pickle spears into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture until well-coated. Dip the pickles in the egg and bread crumb mixtures a second time so each spear is double coated. Arrange pickles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the breading is set, about 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry the pickles in the preheated oil until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Love these! They taste just like the ones you get at restaurants. I used pickle slices rather than spears because they make crunchier fried pickles and they're easier to eat. When you make the slices there is a lot of the bread crumb coating left over, so it might be a good idea to reduce that part of the recipe. Also, it seemed like there was an awfully lot of milk added to one egg. Less than a cup of milk would probably suffice. I'm going to try these changes next time. I served them with thousand island and it was great! I like ranch, too!
I LOVE deep fried Pickles and was so excited to try this with my husband. I love th recipe except that the breading on my pickles came off some of them in the oil and also slid off when we picked up the pickles :( My oil may not have been right but who knows... I think i will try this awesome beer batter recipe I found on this site to make fish tacos. I would have given it 5 stars if my breading hadnt of fallen off.

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
By all historic accounts, the actual idea for the sequester—the massive front-loaded cuts to the federal budget designed to rip a hole in spending programs near and dear to both Republicans and Democrats—originated in the Obama White House.
By creating a mechanism that would result in huge cuts to a defense budget that has long been sacrosanct to modern day Republicans, along with equally large cuts to the entitlements that Democrats feel duty bound to protect, the Obama Administration believed that it had created a tool that would force a negotiated solution in the effort to get a grip on our debt situation through the balancing of spending cuts with revenue increases.
As a weapon to drive compromise—a concept that has become a four letter word in today's extreme environment— the sequester wasn't such a bad idea. Surely, any rational legislator in Congress would understand that reaching a negotiated deal was far preferable to the unacceptably painful results of allowing the sequester to take hold.
Or would they?
Having ultimately realized that their efforts to hold the nation hostage by threatening a tumble over a fiscal cliff—or freaking us out over the dire consequences that could result from failing to raise the debt ceiling—would only result in a one way ticket to political Palookaville, Congressional Republicans have now latched on to a new strategy—allow the sequester to actually go forward, sit back and watch as all those mandatory spending cuts cause millions of jobs vanish into the ether and then blame it all on Obama.
You see, it's not that the Republicans don't understand the damage the sequester will do to an economy whose recovery is just now taking hold. Rather, it is that Republicans have resolved to permit the terrible results of the sequester because they have convinced themselves that—since the idea originated over at the White House—it will be the President who will suffer the severe political consequences that will surely result—consequences Congressional Republicans believe will grant them a considerable political advantage even if achieved through the pain of their fellow Americans.
Yet, blaming the President for what is to about to happen would be like blaming Karl Benz, the inventor of the automobile, for the terrible things that occur when a drunk gets behind the wheel of car.
Certainly, Mr. Benz could have foreseen the potential dangers of someone using the machine he created in a way that he would never have intended. But do we blame Mr. Benz for a traffic fatality when some bonehead who has had too much to drink gets in the driver's seat or do we blame the idiot who does extreme damage to another's life by using Benz's idea as a weapon of destruction?
Similarly, while the White House may have given birth to the idea of sequester, that idea can only become an ugly reality if executed by the Congress.
So, while the Congressional Republicans are correct in their expectation that the party ultimately blamed for what is to befall the nation as a result of the sequester will pay a very serious price indeed, they badly misjudge the situation by imagining that they can pin this on the President.
No matter how many times the GOP attempts to remind us that this was all the President's idea—something Speaker Boehner did five distinct times on Tuesday alone—it will forever be John Boehner and his GOP cohorts in Congress who will have put the keys in the ignition and their collective foot on the gas pedal—and the American public will know it.
Maybe, at long last, this is as it should be.
(Continue reading)
Uh . . . just to make things perfectly clear, I support the sequester. Let her rip!
There is no question that smaller government will lead to higher economic growth.
The majority of layoffs will take place in the Washington, D.C. area, the only boomtown in America under the Obama regime. It's true that the sequester cuts the Defense budget by 7%, but Obama was going to do that on his own anyway to help pay for Obamacare.
Rick, I know that you are the only "credible" person in the United States. I genuinely admire the effort you exert in shoveling your BS on the underinformed. I simply don't have that kind of drive. One day, maybe.
There's a huge difference between cutting spending, and cutting spending that the sequester demands. It's not just about not spending money.
Let me give you an example. In your monthly budget, you have money allocated to eat out twice a week, pay rent, buy groceries, make car payments, etc. etc. If you needed to stop spending so much money, it would make sense to end the eating out each week–according to the sequester, though, you would stop buying groceries. You're still saving money, sure, but in the most asinine way possible.
Well, Rick, did you really believe that no one would remember this from then Senator Obama?:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
Rick, you are a pathetic toady and nothing more that a cultist with a keyboard. No one is interested in being lectured by a mindless parrot. Do you really think that no one suspects that you and others like you will be spewing forth you nonsense from the Goebbels propaganda mill. Those days are over, sport.

JEFFERSONVILLE — Homes that are scheduled to be relocated as part of the Ohio River Bridges Project have a potential destination.
As part of a settlement agreement between the National Trust for Historic Preservation, conservancy group River Fields Inc., the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Indiana Department of Transportation, $1.7 million has been dedicated to a historic preservation and enhancement fund. The relocation of five homes in Jeffersonville slated to be torn down to make way for Big Four Station and the new Interstate 65 bridge were given priority consideration for the funding.
In addition to the five homes, Greg Sekula, director of the Indiana Landmarks Southern Regional Office, identified three additional properties he would like to see included in the relocation project. And Sekula and the city's redevelopment office have a potential site.
"There's an opportunity here to save these buildings, to move them to alternative sites," he said. "Ideally ... the idea is to try and move them within the boundaries of the old Jeff Historic District."
The location identified by the city and historic landmarks would sit at the 200 block of Maple Street, facing the north entrance to the Big Four Station — a park planned at the landing of the Big Four pedestrian and bicycle bridge.
Redevelopment Director Rob Waiz said there is potential to locate three to five homes along Maple Street, where there is currently a vacant parking lot and land behind the former American Legion building.
The homes being considered for relocation are located at 216, 218 and 222 Market St., and 227 and 229 Pearl St., Sekula said. The additional homes he identified were the Prentice houses located at 340 W. Maple St. and 338 Ohio Ave., and another home at 113 Fort St.
Of the homes that could potentially be relocated to the 200 block of Maple Street, Sekula said he would like the preservation and enhancement fund to pay for relocating the structures, pouring new foundations and running utility lines to the homes. Part of the proposal would then call for the city to turn around and sell the properties after they are moved and possibly offset some of the original acquisition costs Jeffersonville incurred to buy the homes, he said.

Human Resources Management – HRM
The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies. Usually small businesses (for-profit or nonprofit) have to carry out these activities themselves because they can't yet afford part- or full-time help. However, they should always ensure that employees have — and are aware of — personnel policies which conform to current regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals, which all employees have.[ad#ad-4]
Note that some people distinguish a difference between between HRM (a major management activity) and HRD (Human Resource Development, a profession). Those people might include HRM in HRD, explaining that HRD includes the broader range of activities to develop personnel inside of organizations, including, eg, career development, training, organization development, etc.
There is a long-standing argument about where HR-related functions should be organized into large organizations, eg, "should HR be in the Organization Development department or the other way around?"
The HRM function and HRD profession have undergone tremendous change over the past 20-30 years. Many years ago, large organizations looked to the "Personnel Department," mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. More recently, organizations consider the "HR Department" as playing a major role in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.

Poll Results
The following message was sent to me by Daniel Jackson, Unit 174 Board Member:
The Board of Directors of Unit 174 would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete our Election Poll. There were almost three hundred responses!
We carefully tallied and cross-checked the responses. The majority of the responders would like to see "no change" to the election procedures. The membership has spoken, therefore the method of election of Unit board members will remain unchanged.
The following is a graphical summary of the responses and the percentage of total received:
The questions were:
- Having an independent committee nominate a slate of three candidates. You could vote for the slate or you could write in candidates of your own.
- Allowing members to vote for fewer than three candidates.
- The following motion, which was made at the 2014 annual meeting: "Any nominee may have a representative at the official tabulation of votes. Any election protest or recount of the votes must be received in writing by the unit secretary within 72 hours of the tabulation of ballots".
- Allowing a candidate to observe the counting of the ballots if he or she agrees to keep results confidential.
- Requiring a recount of the votes if the vote difference between the third and fourth place candidates is less than 1% of the votes cast.
- Having the Vice President, if asked, inform losing candidates of their placing, total votes cast and the number of votes they received.
- Keeping the current system with no changes.
Thanks again to all respondents!

This week's portraits fall under the theme of "Memento Vivere", which translates to "Remember to Live".
Perhaps it's because I was baptised Catholic, or because it's the Christmas season, or because I just recently returned from visiting the Painted Church in Kona — or all of the above? Whatever the reason, I can tell you that visually I was inspired by painted portraits of Benedictine Saints for this week's portraits.
Tuesday's portrait.
Once again, the theme this week is "Memento Vivere", which translates as "Remember to live."
"Memento Vivere"
The fourth and final portrait for this week's theme "Memento Vivere" or "Remember to Live".
This series was originally inspired by oil paintings of Benedictine Saints, but evolved to include many more iconic archetypes of the era.
Don't forget, you can get a portrait of ME being YOU by donating to my book Kickstarter! Details are on the Kickstarter page.

Have you installed or recently upgraded to Oracle APEX Listener 2.0? Have you used SQL Developer 3.2 to manage APEX Listener settings? If you answered yes to both questions then you are in for an unwelcome surprise.
The surprise is that you'll get a "500 – Internal Server Error" whenever you upload a file via any of your APEX apps or import files via the APEX Application Builder.
Hmm! Upgraded from #Oracle APEX 4.1 to 4.2.1 – now getting "500 – Internal Server Error" using file upload. APEX listener 2.0 #orclapex— Eddie Awad (@eddieawad) December 27, 2012
Kris Rice responded to my tweet almost immediately.
The problem was a bug in the way SQL Developer uploads APEX Listener settings to the server.
@krisrice Turns out to be the same issue reported here s.awads.net/VDOi8r looks like a sqldev listener admin bug— Eddie Awad (@eddieawad) December 27, 2012

An external or internal application wants to send inbound data to your Oracle database, like for example a purchase order or a receivable invoice. You want to consume this data in real time.
The version of your Oracle database is 11gR2 or above. The only "tool" you have is the Oracle database, i.e. you do not have any middleware (like SOA suite) installed. The external or internal application can connect to your Oracle database.
Use Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ) for messaging. Use an event-based scheduler job for real time data consumption. Both are standard features of the Oracle database.
The following is a fully functional example of the solution, starting from creating a new database user and ending with consuming the message in the database.Comments Off | Filed in Oracle | Tags: AQ, dbms_scheduler

Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe predicted last month when offseason practice started that he would lead the NFL this season in receptions and touchdowns. He isnt backing off that claim now that the Chiefs are concluding their spring work with todays final practice.
I feel good about it, Bowe said of his boast. If I dont think it, who will? Im just going to let my play show what I can do and leave it at that.
Bowe had 15 touchdowns to lead NFL receivers in 2010, but hes dropped too many passes and been too inconsistent with his route-running to ever be close to the top in receptions.
But hes never played in an Andy Reid offense, or with a quarterback who was once selected with the first pick in the NFL Draft, as Alex Smith was.
The offense is aggressive, Bowe said. Its not passive at all. Every play, were going downfield. These are by far the most uptempo practices Ive ever been a part of. Only time will tell when the games start how good were going to look.
Offense makes plays
The Chiefs defense has generally gotten the better of the offense during offseason practices, but the offense made its share of plays on Wednesday. The star of practice yes, youve heard this one before was wide receiver Jon Baldwin, who caught a couple of deep passes and made a pair of difficult catches.
We had a couple down-the-field throws with the offense, more so than we had yesterday, Reid said. It went back and forth, and thats what youre looking for. Offense challenged the defense. Defense challenged the offense. Thats the way you get better.
Rookie running back Knile Davis continued to have trouble catching the ball out of the backfield. Davis dropped a couple of easy throws, one on a screen pass that he would have taken for a long gain.
Fisher wrapping it up
After being drafted with the first overall pick by the Chiefs, Eric Fisher has had a quiet offseason. Fisher has taken his spot as the starting right tackle and begun the process of blending in with his teammates on the offensive line.
They threw a lot at us and expect us to learn it all, Fisher said when asked to assess his last four weeks. Ive just been doing my best to pick up everything. There are a lot of calls I need to learn.
Im making improvements every day. Every day, I come out here to work. Going up against the guys I go up against is making a better player every day. Im just getting in the playbook every day and having a great time out here.

Welcome back! Autumn is here again and a new academic year is beginning which means new initiatives, resources and events. Here are just a few things that might help you better support your students' learning in 2012-13.
This year, staff and students will be getting used to the new structure of the academic year, changes to the curriculum that came from the portfolio and periodic review and changes in terminology (from programmes and courses to courses and modules).
A date you will want to put in your diary is Wednesday 24th October. The annual Sussex Teaching and Learning Conference, which this year will be Celebrating Good Practice will be held on that afternoon. More details will be on the conference web page soon.
There are also new initiatives being rolled out such as the green flag provision for students with Specific Learning Difficulties. Following a successful initiative to promote inclusive teaching of students with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc.) all students whose main support needs would be met by a set of reasonable standard adjustments are now identified by a green flag on Sussex Direct. You can read more about the initiative and find details of the sorts of adjustments that schools will be asking tutors to make on the TLDU website.
S3, the Study Success at Sussex website has gone mobile and students who visit the S3 website from their smart phone will now be directed to a mobile version of the site including the same content redesigned so that it's easier to navigate from a mobile phone. The S3 homepage now also includes a 'This week' section highlighting relevant study information and a search function. Please tell your students about the excellent resources and guidance available to them on S3 and contact Clare Hardman if you would like some S3 promotional postcards to distribute.
The programme of Teaching and Learning Development Events is beginning again in September with many of the favourite workshops from last year and four new events which have been added at the request of colleagues. The new events are:
- The supervisor's role in supporting academic writing. This seminar will share ideas to help supervisors to encourage and support the early and sustained academic writing of research students.
- Working Effectively with Associate Tutors. A short workshop for academic staff which aims to share ideas to enable Associate Tutors to contribute effectively to the teaching and assessment of modules.
- Evaluating your Teaching. This session will explore different sources of feedback from students, colleagues, own observations and marking of assessed work which can be used to help inform the evaluation of teaching beyond standard end of module SEQs.
- Getting students to read for seminars. This is one of the commonest issues we hear about in TLDU from tutors. We've asked Tamsin Hinton-Smith (Sociology) to share the approaches she has used which have proved successful over many student cohorts.
Over the summer, work has been carrying on to update and develop the TLDU web pages and the Ideas and Guidance pages now include material on a wide range of teaching and learning topics including assessment and feedback; various teaching modes and methods and developing teaching practice. More pages will be created and updated over the coming months. The TLDU collection of web links has grown too and these selected sites offer a great way into just about any teaching and learning topic. For many people this new term will be the beginning of their teaching in HE or at Sussex so here are a few teaching tips to get the year off to a good start.
- Getting to know each other: Using activities that help people to get an awareness of where others come from in terms of past learning experience, where they have lived, where they have been and what they have done, forges connections you can draw on throughout the module.
- Setting ground rules: Rather than imposing your own rules, try asking the students what they expect of themselves, each other and you. Usually the result will be a list that includes most of the things you would want – and you can include one or two of your own during the process.
- Start as you mean to go on: If particular ways of working are to be adopted on the module establish them as normal practice from the start. It is much harder to develop new habits later.
- Don't forget that help is at hand: There are lots of useful resources and learning opportunities on the TLDU web pages; Study Direct has lots of help files built in and colleagues in TLDU are available to support you in your teaching.
RUSTLE will be blogging regularly again this year and as always we welcome your comments, suggestions and ideas. If there are any teaching and/or learning topics you would like to see discussed in future posts or if there is an aspect of your practice you would like to share please contact email@example.com.

STATELY SANDWICHES: Personal Project
Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE food, especially sandwiches. To me, making a good sandwich is an art form. I've set out to make the sandwich for each of the 50 states, hence the name Stately Sandwiches.
To see my progess or order your own print, check out www.statelysandwiches.com. And follow along on Twitter or Facebook!
My project has been featured on CBS News, Quipsologies, Bon Appetit, and more.
The logo is designed to elicit the feel of being in a classic deli where your sandwich is wrapped in paper and held together with a sticker. This emotion is also conveyed through the colors and the established date, something a mom-and-pop shop would be quite proud of.
Customers receive a personal thank you note and Stately Sandwiches stickers with their print. The date stamp reminds customers of the story behind the sandwich and continues the deli experience.
The print is then wrapped in deli paper, sealed with a logo sticker, and shipped.

Obama Campaign Gear Makes Fun of Birther Issue
Smiling prez on new "Made in the USA" 2012 T-shirt
He hasn't declared his bid for reelection yet, but President Obama's 2012 campaign today has opened up a souvenir store with a smack down of his harshest critics: so-called birthers who question where the Democrat was born.
The "Made in the USA T-Shirt" shows a smiling president on the front over "Made in the USA" lettering and on the back is a copy of his birth certificate. The text on the purchase page for the $25 T-shirt reads: "Last year, the President said: 'I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.' This is about as close as we can get: make a donation today to get your Made In The USA T-shirt."
In an email announcing the campaign store, Deputy Campaign Manager Julianna Smoot tells us, "We just launched our full 2012 campaign online store, where you can pick up new shirts, stickers, signs, water bottles, and all sorts of other gear. Those '08 bumper stickers and T-shirts are a source of pride, but getting your 2012 stuff now can show your determination to see through all the work we've started together. Donate $30 or more today and get your 2012 T-shirt. There's a lot to do in the coming months to build this campaign, and the President's counting on us to be the ones to get that work started. How about a new 2012 shirt to wear while you're out there at phone banks, knocking on doors, or just going about your day?"

By CHELSEA DAVIS
Courier staff writer
---- — OTTUMWA — One hundred St. Joseph Hospital nurses were reunited once again.
From the time St. Joe's opened in 1917 until it closed in 1971, 702 nurses graduated from the hospital. Saturday night, those who were able returned to Hotel Ottumwa to see old friends and classmates.
"We looked back and 1946 was the earliest [class] we invited because the rest were deceased, too far away or they couldn't get here," said Vera Vandello, planning committee member and a graduate of the class of 1967.
Five graduates from the class of 1946 made it to the reunion Saturday night: Darlene Glassner, Dorothy Green, Mary Jane Patrick, Regina Harness and Catherine Millane.
Glassner said "it's almost unbelievable" that her class was the earliest at Saturday's reunion.
"I was very disturbed when I found out they were going to tear the hospital down," she said. "There are a lot of memories there."
Vandello said this year's reunion takes on a special meaning since St. Joe's is slated for demolition.
"It's of interest to see what state it's in," said Sister Marie Vittetoe. "It's all fenced off. It looks like it's in a state of degradation."
But spirits were high as the 100 nursing graduates shuffled into the ballroom for dinner.
Glassner hopes the reunions will continue, even though the youngest graduates are now in their 60s.
"As long as some of us are left, I think we should keep having them," she said.
Sister Vittetoe -- nurses may recall her as Sister Mary Bernard back in the day -- taught chemistry and microbiology from 1950 up until the school closed. After leaving the school, she went on to graduate school and "never came back" to Ottumwa to work, though she enjoys coming back to the reunions.
"It keeps everyone in touch, but this might be close to the last one," she said. "You figure, the last class finished in 1972 and they were probably 22 when they finished. That's around 40 years ago, so they're all in their early 60s now."
Looking back on her time at the school, Glassner said she was a bit of a troublemaker.
"Sister Christine always had it in for me," she said with a chuckle. "One time she caught me putting spirits of ammonia in a coat."
But Patrick said the nurses were very fortunate to have studied at the school.
"I knew so many exceptional nurses there who went on to have very responsible jobs," she said.
The theme of the night was "The Way We Were," evidenced by the buttons each person received when they signed in. Vandello, with the help of The Photo Shop owner Keith Caviness, took digital photos of the graduation pictures, now in the hands of the Wapello County Historical Society. They then placed those photos and the graduation year on buttons, which each graduate pinned to her blouse or dress.
Every three years a reunion is held, said Jackie Moll. All the graduating classes are invited back and anywhere from one to several graduates from a class makes the trip to Hotel Ottumwa.
"This is just a way to get the classes together, to visit, to see who's not with us anymore," Vandello said.
But this year's reunion was also somewhat bittersweet since Sister Suzanne Wickenkamp died in 2011, one year after the nurses' last reunion.
"She was a pillar of this school of nursing," Vittetoe said.
Wickenkamp was the director or nursing at St. Joe's for years, then taking on the role of hospital administrator and supervisor of chaplain services after the school closed.
"She may not be here with us tonight, but you know ... I feel like she is here," Moll said.
Members of the class of 1967 were responsible for starting the first intensive care unit in Ottumwa.
"Before 1968, there were no ICUs in hospitals," said Susan Bay, who launched Ottumwa's ICU alongside Jeanie Morrison.
The pair was sent to Denver to learn how to take care of patients who had had heart attacks or been severely injured.
"We were there two weeks and worked at Colorado General Hospital," Morrison said. "We defibrillated a dog to learn how to do it."
They returned to Ottumwa, where they worked with the doctors to set up the ICU and a coronary care unit.

Let the negotiating game begin!
Buyers and sellers both struggle with negotiation. Many think that because they spend eight hours a day negotiating contracts in their business that they are experts. Wrong! Negotiating the sale of your home is completely different. It is personal. It is your home. There is emotion that does not exist if you are buying or selling products in your workplace. Even the most unemotional people will become emotional when you start talking about the value of their home.
The first thing to consider is your market. Low inventory means buyer's have to compromise more. High inventory requires seller's to compromise. How is the home priced compared to the other homes in the same market? It is great to be in a position where the market is on your side.
You have to consider the improvements and if you are willing to pay for them. As a seller you can not expect to get the value invested for personal improvements. The steam room may have been worth a million dollars to you but to buyer it might only be a nice feature that they had never considered.
Another thing to consider is who has the most clout in the process? The seller who has just lost his or her job and must sell immediately or the buyer who has all the time in the world to buy a home. Which one will be the most willing to negotiate.
Make sure you gather as much information about your buyer or seller as possible so that you know how to position yourself in negotiations. If you are represented by a Realtor you can be sure that this is being done for you.
Financing also plays a role in negotiating. What are buyers and sellers position on closing cost? Some loans require seller to pay closing cost or some portion of of it. Have other homes in area paid closing cost? If not, can a buyer expect a seller to negotiate price and closing cost?
Is a seller paying for improvements? Many things factor into the price. Price alone will not reflect the best deal.
What the neighbor thinks, and what your friend at work thinks about the price of a home does not determine the value of the home. It may influence a buyer's decision to buy or not buy and it may influence the seller's decision to sell or not to sell but it has no relation to the value of the home.
The best price may not be the best deal. Just because your neighbor sold their home higher than the average market price may not mean they made the most money. They may have spent twice what you have on improvements. They may have agreed to $10,000 decorating allowance and so they may have walked away with much less. Every transaction is different.
When the the buyers agent brings an offer, all the buyer has done is open the door. They have said, "We like your home but the amount we are willing to pay is not what you are asking for the home." This is the starting point in the negotiating. As a seller, know that the buyer did not send you the offer to insult or to inflict pain. They are simply looking for your bottom line. The first offer is usually asking how low you will go. The National Association or Realtors makes it very clear that your first offer will usually be your best. Try to make it work.
As a buyer how your first offer is structured will set the tone for negotiations. Be careful that your desire to get a great deal does not create a hostile environment for negotiations. Make sure you remember the whole picture. Asking the seller to pay $10,000 in closing cost is asking the seller to negotiate off the price by $10,000.00 . You cannot ask the seller to pay closing cost and drop the price and pay for your new roof, unless the home is priced to accommodate these extras. In the same vein a home that is a super value in the marketplace may not have room to give you all the closing cost and a repair allowance you might want. Make sure you are negotiating with all of these things in mind. If price is most important to you just remember that getting the best price may mean giving up something such as closing cost.
A few years ago I read a great article on negotiating in the real estate world. The statement made was, "Never let the ball land in your court. Never turn your back on a counter or tell the buyer or seller to forget it, we are too far apart." Always search for items you can agree to.
If this is a home you want to buy or you want to sell, then look at what the seller or buyer is telling you with their offer and compromise on one point. For instance the seller counters to the buyer at a price that is higher than buyer wants to pay, but with a closing date the buyer does not like, but could live with. Let the closing date be your response and send the ball to the seller.
The last thing to do is know your agent is on your team. The agent will tell you how the other party sees your offer. Not because they are on their side but because they are trying to help you achieve your goals. I know as a buyer or seller it may appear that the agent is not working for your best interest.
It is difficult to make a buyer/seller aware of why a counter may be very reasonable based on the facts they have. The above is true only if you have hired the agent to represent you in buying or selling a home. You will have more clout in negotiation if the agent knows the area and has the wisdom of past transactions. The agent can also set the tone of negotiations by creating a cordial environment and helping you to see what the other party is thinking. This helps you separate emotion and use the skills you need to achieve your desired result.
I love negotiation and can predict responses based on experience. It is a bridge game and finesse may be required. Be excited and trust your agent with their recommended response.

NORMAN — Services for Larry Nelson, 57, of Norman, will be 1 p.m. Thursday at the Goodrich Memorial United Methodist Church in Norman, with interment to follow at Sunset Memorial Park.
Larry passed away Saturday, May 11, 2013, in Norman.
He was born Jan. 24, 1956, to Evan and Dolores Nelson at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. He grew up on military bases, and his favorite was Homestead Air Force Base in Florida, where he was a scuba diver and DeMolay.
He made his career as a welder and commercial construction superintendent for W.L. McNatt & Company. Most recent construction projects were Norman's Target, Johnnie's Restaurant and Edmond North's new gym. Foremost, he was a prankster and the life of the party.
Larry and his wife, Debbie, would have celebrated their 25 years of marriage on June 2. She was the love of his life and took great care of him.
Larry is survived by his wife and parents; his children Johnny Nelson and wife Daysha, Randy McCoy and wife Amanda, Kristi McCoy and Wendy Pool; 10 grandchildren; a sister, Carrie Baker and husband Ken; nephew, Derrick Nelson; niece, Erica Maynord; and his beloved dog, Bo.
Rest in peace, Larry. We will see you again.
The family has suggested the American Cancer Society or Integris Hospice of Oklahoma as appropriate for memorial contributions.
Services for Mr. Nelson have been entrusted to the care of Primrose Funeral Service.

Ralph Barbato, doctor of osteopathic medicine at Good Samaritan, was recently recognized for saving a patient's life, the hospital reported.
Barbato was nominated by Connie Gennaro, of Brentwood, who credited the doctor for saving her husband's life. Good Sam said that Barbato discovered that Legionella was causing Mr. Gennaro's kidneys to fail, and ordered that he received urgent dialysis treatments.
"If it weren't for Dr. Barbato, my husband would be either gone or on permanent dialysis." Gennaro told Good Sam.
Gennaro said she truly believes that Barbato's actions saved her husband.
For his efforts, Barbato was presented with a plaque as the winner of the hospital's Physician of the Quarter program. Gennaro received a check for $100 for her nomination.
According to Good Sam, the Physician of the Quarter Program is meant to "recognize compassionate physicians who have provided outstanding care to patients."
Throughout the year, Good Sam takes nominations for the program. Patient letters should be no longer than 300 words and should be sent to:
Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center
Office of Public & External Affairs
Physician of the Quarter, 1000 Montauk Highway
West Islip, NY 11795

We live by the words, "The gift of literacy lasts a lifetime," because we've witnessed how literacy can transform the life path of children in need. In the Eastern Caribbean, where most families are unable to afford books and schools are severely underfunded, we've shipped over 141,000 books to 291 schools, libraries, and reading programs, giving over 55,000 children access to literacy and a better life.
Since our start in 2007 we've been working hands-on in the Caribbean with principals, teachers, and U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers at local schools (from pre-school to high school), and from this this we've developed our three-step CLASS (Caribbean Literacy and School Support) program: 1. Send great new books; 2. Create vibrant borrowing libraries; 3. Foster sustainability through support from the school staff and local community.
One of our favorite bits of news about a Hands shipment reaching the islands came from a local parent helping to put together the library at tiny Bonne Terre Preparatory School on St. Lucia: "I'm having such a great time watching students check out the new books. I had one little boy ask me with very wide eyes, 'You mean I am the very first person to read this book?' Yep!!!"
Words like these, along with the joy and hope that great new books bring to Caribbean children, make this the most rewarding work we've ever done. – Harriet and Tom Linskey, Co-Founders, Hands Across the Sea

Common Sense SaysEntertaining biopic focuses on Hitch's marriage and method.
Appropriate For?Age Appropriate Some Iffy Stuff Not Age Appropriate13
What's the Story?
In 1959, Alfred Hitchcock (Anthony Hopkins) -- considered the master of suspense -- was 60 and looking for a new project. Tired of making the same kind of films, he found his inspiration in a bestselling but macabre "true crime" book, Psycho. Unfortunately, the executives at Paramount Pictures didn't want to greenlight the movie, so Hitchcock agreed to fund Psycho himself (mortgaging his mansion) in exchange for distribution. The movie depicts his process for casting and making the difficult-to-shoot horror film, as his relationship with wife/collaborator Alma Reville (Helen Mirren) suffered under the strain of his work and his obsessions with food, drink, and his blonde leading ladies.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Hitchcock isn't a full biopic of legendary director Alfred Hitchcock but rather a snippet of his personal and professional life as he made one of his most famous movies, Psycho. There are a few scenes of disturbing violence: the murder of a brother; a dead, bloody woman being dragged into a bathtub, and a killer who sleeps with his dead mother. The frightening shower scene from Psycho is depicted, with Hitchcock himself holding the butcher knife to elicit realistic screams from actress Janet Leigh. The language is comparatively mild ("ass," "damn"), but there are allusions to infidelity and sexual obsession, plus shots of kissing, groping, and women in their underwear. Families can talk about how Hitchcock is about making a movie. In what ways has the movie industry changed since Hitchcock's time? How is it the same (for example, Hitchcock says a director is only ever as good as his last project)? Is this really a biopic about Hitchcock or just a small glimpse of his life? What do we not know about Hitchcock? How could you find out more? The relationship between Hitchcock and his wife is explored. What do you think of their marriage? Should Alma be credited with the making of Psycho?
Content Quickview
The ratings below give you a quick overview of this program's content. For more detailed info, click the heading above each rating.
The Good StuffMessages:{"id":"parental_ratings_messages"} Hitchcock is the story of the director's professional and personal journey to make one of the most important works of his career. The movie encourages artistic risks, commitment to your craft, and the importance of marital partnership and collaboration.
What to Watch Out forViolence:{"id":"parental_ratings_violence"} The murders of real-life serial killer Ed Gein are shown briefly -- from his first murder of his brother (via a hit to the head) to a bloodied dead woman he drags to a bathtub. There's also a scene in which Gein is shown sleeping with his dead mother. Psycho's infamous shower scene is depicted, with Hitchcock wielding a butcher's knife to make Leigh scream more convincingly.Sex:{"id":"parental_ratings_sex"} Hitchcock stares through a peep hole at an actress undressing. Leigh's ample bosom is discussed (like the fact that one frame shows her nipple in the shower scene), and she, Alma, and Vera Miles are all shown in their period undergarments (cone-shaped bras, full-coverage underwear, and slips). Alma and Alfred hug and kiss a couple of times. A married man is shown mid-affair (groping and kissing a woman who's in her bra and panties). There's a brief shot of two actors filming a love scene on a bed (she's in lingerie, he's shirtless).Language:{"id":"parental_ratings_language"} Language includes "damn," "crap," "hell," "oh my God," "queer" (to describe actor Anthony Perkins), and insults like "corpulent," "fat," "ass," etc.

A tearful President Barack Obama says the country's leaders must "take meaningful action" regardless of politics in response to the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school.
The shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. on Friday morning killed 27 people, including 20 children, law enforcement sources said.
The dead at Sandy Hook Elementary, about 60 miles northeast of New York City, included the suspected gunman. One other person was injured. Police said that the shootings were carried out in two rooms, located in the same section of the school.
The president teared up, at times using an index finger to wipe at the corner of his eyes, as he addressed the nation from the White House. He also paused repeatedly as he struggled to keep his composure while speaking of the children -- ages 5 to 10 -- who had died and the life milestones they now would miss.
He said: "Our hearts are broken."
Shortly before speaking, Obama ordered that U.S. flags be flown at half-staff on public grounds through Tuesday.
