Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
4.2. mod_perl Configuration |
When you have tested that the Apache server works on your machine, it's time to configure the mod_perl part. Although some of the configuration directives are already familiar to you, mod_perl introduces a few new ones.
It's a good idea to keep all mod_perl-related configuration at the end of the configuration file, after the native Apache configuration directives, thus avoiding any confusion.
To ease maintenance and to simplify multiple-server installations, the mod_perl-enabled Apache server configuration system provides several alternative ways to keep your configuration directives in separate places. The Include directive in httpd.conf lets you include the contents of other files, just as if the information were all contained in httpd.conf. This is a feature of Apache itself. For example, placing all mod_perl-related configuration in a separate file named conf/mod_perl.conf can be done by adding the following directive to httpd.conf:
Include conf/mod_perl.conf
If you want to include this configuration conditionally, depending on whether your Apache has been compiled with mod_perl, you can use the IfModule directive :
<IfModule mod_perl.c> Include conf/mod_perl.conf </IfModule>
mod_perl adds two more directives. <Perl> sections allow you to execute Perl code from within any configuration file at server startup time. Additionally, any file containing a Perl program can be executed at server startup simply by using the PerlRequire or PerlModule directives, as we will show shortly.

Former US Army General Russel Honore says he does not agree with the new Pentagon policy allowing women to fight in combat. "It appeared that this movement in Washington may not be centered on the needs of the military," Honore tells 9News.
"As much as it's centered on to demonstrate how progressive we are in our approach. There's going to be missions and units that may not be necessarily enhanced with women on the missions of these small isolated infantry closed combat special operations."
The Pentagons move opens up 200,000 jobs for females, mostly in the army and marines. Mindy Stewart is a former US Army soldier, she was stationed in Germany much of her career. "So weather you're in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines, females have been in combat operations. So give the distinction, I'm 100 percent for that," Stewart says.
The changes will not occur over night. The new policy will be phased in over the next three years.

I've had a lot of bodywork and am even trained myself so I'm quite particular. I scheduled a short 30 minute Reflexology session with James and it was so good that I've already scheduled my next appointment. Thank you James!

Site Description
Flower Garden Banks was designated as a National Sanctuary on January 17, 1992; Stetson Bank was added in October, 1996. It ia located approximately 110 miles south of the Texas / Louisiana border, the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary includes three banks: East Flower Garden, West Flower Garden, and Stetson. The Banks are perched atop salt domes rising above the ocean floor. The Flower Garden Banks harbor the northernmost coral reefs in the United States. Although not as biologically diverse as most tropical reefs, they are regional reservoirs of shallow-water Caribbean reef fishes and invertebrates in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Stetson Bank, 30 miles closer to shore, is a clay/siltstone bank dominated by sponges and fire coral. It supports an extraordinary fish community but is not a coral reef. Increased existing and potential impacts from anchor damage, oil and gas exploration / production /transportation, over fishing, and souvenir collecting prompted protection of the three banks.
Area of Influence:
Habitat Type:
Flower Garden Banks - pelagic zone, coral reef (high diversity
and low diversity zones), coral line algae, algae-sponge,
brine seep chemosynthetic community (East Bank only), drowned
reefs, sand bottom.
Stetson Bank - pelagic zone, clay/siltstone bedrock, fire coral/sponge community,
scattered coral colonies.
Rare/Endangered Species:
The species best known to the sanctuary are the loggerhead sea turtles, the leatherback sea turtles, and the hawksbill sea turtles.
Breeding/Nursery Area:
All banks are breeding and nursery areas for many tropical reef
fish species.
Recent research indicates that the Flower Gardens may also serve as a nursery
area for juvenile manta rays.
Forage Area:
All three banks are thought to support a balance of trophic levels among reef fish species; larger species foraging in the area include manta rays, sea turtles (primarily loggerhead), and several species of sharks (including occasional whale sharks).
Migratory Species:
Geomorphic Features:
Ecosystem Function:
Serves as a biological reservoir of Caribbean species in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
Uniqueness of Natural Community:
Although species diversity is less than that of most Caribbean coral reefs, the ecology of the Flower Garden Banks and Stetson Bank are considered to be well-balanced in terms of the structural and functional elements, which include critical trophic levels and species interaction.
Archaeological and Cultural Significance:
The sanctuary does not include any known archaeological sites The Flower Gardens were discovered and named in the early 1900s by snapper fishermen. They pulled up bits of brightly colored sponges, corals and algae that snagged on their lines, which were responsible for the name Flower Gardens.
Recreational Use:
Primary user group is recreational scuba divers. Some recreational fishing (spear fishing is not allowed; hook and line fishing is allowed). Some commercial fishing (primarily snapper - bottom long lining is not allowed); parts of the sanctuary are open for oil and gas production; these areas are outside the Minerals Management "no activity zone" but inside the sanctuary boundaries.
Site is used by academia and some non-profit organizations for research; permits are required to conduct most research and private commercial dive charters (ecotourism). Moorings occasionally used by transitory sailboats and yachts.
Land Ownership:
Site is federal land under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Service, Office of Coastal Resource Management, Sanctuary & Reserves Division. Oil and gas leasing authority is held by the U.S Department of Interior, Minerals Management Service.
Existing Designations:
Designated National Marine Sanctuary (federal program) under the Sanctuaries Act of 1972.
Management Status:
Sanctuary has been left in natural state except for slight modifications (e.g. mooring buoys, marked monitoring stations) to enable mooring of vessels and long term monitoring. Sanctuary is managed by federal government (see ownership). Management involves research, education, physical interventions (e.g. installation of mooring buoys), regulations, enforcement, and making a concerted effort to involve partners from both public and private sectors.
Existing Monitoring Activities:
Researchers from Texas A&M University and other institutions have studied the site since the late 1960s. Minerals Management Service (U.S. Department of Interior) has monitored the site since the early 1970s. Currently, monitoring is conducted annually and includes the following parameters: coral cover and population, coral growth rates, temperature and light measurements, water quality testing.
Management Needs:
Physical interventions - radar reflecting navigation buoy on each bank.
Research - studies on genetic isolation, recovery potential, and resistance to stress
Monitoring - partnership between federal agencies and users to ensure long term commitment to monitoring.
Education - listing on international shipping charts as a protected area; increased education to user groups regarding potential impacts to natural resources in sanctuary (recreational divers, oil and gas industry, recreational and commercial fishers).
Tools - GIS database for management, research, and education.
Site Viability
Threats to Ecological Integrity:
Anchoring, particularly by foreign-flagged vessels.
Cumulative impacts from recreational diving activities.
Cumulative impacts from commercial fishing (legal and illegal).
Small potential for impacts from oil and gas exploration, production and transportation; impacts would probably be greatest if a spill were to occur over the Flower Gardens during the annual mass spawning.
Management Potential:
Partnerships between agencies with varying authority (e.g. NOAA, U.S. Coast Guard, Minerals Management Service, National Marine Fisheries Service) and users (oil and gas industry, researchers, dive community, fishers) are critical to sanctuary management, as they determine the level of success of resource protection, education, research and enforcement programs.

"I was nicely satisfied with the quality of the invitation presentation. It looks like a high quality card that stands out above others. I would recommend this to others!"
"We put a sports action shot on the top and his senior pic on the bottom. We chose the glossy finish. It was not too shiny but more attractive in my opinion than the matte ones we have received. It looked very "put together" and classy but not too stuffy! It reflected my son's and our families personality perfectly. Service was spectacular and the whole process was simple to follow and user friendly!! Will always order here in the future."
"High quality!! I am so happy I decided to purchase my invitations with Tiny Prints. This is the place to shop for any cards needed for a party, wedding or graduation!"
"I was pleased that there were so many color options in this style. I chose red, which worked well with the colors in my photos. The process of creating the graduation invitation was amazingly easy. It took me about 10 minutes to make a beautiful graduation party invitation. One of my photos was a bit lighter than the other two, but was the same intensity when the invitations arrived. Someone did a wonderful job matching the intensity. I have received so many compliments about the invitation!"

(AFP) – Sep 21, 2007
BAGHDAD (AFP) — Despite opposition from Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, US security company Blackwater was back on the streets of Baghdad on Friday, four days after being grounded over a fatal shooting incident.
Maliki, meanwhile, was in the firing line over a damning report by the US embassy made public Friday detailing corruption plaguing his government, which called his office's attitude to tackling the problem "openly hostile."
Blackwater guards, whom a furious Maliki wanted replaced after they opened fire in Baghdad killing 10 people, were on Friday protecting US personnel on limited missions, US spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo told AFP.
"We have resumed limited movement today. It is very limited and all missions need to be pre-approved," she said.
"The decision was taken by us in consultation with the Iraqi government. All convoys will be protected by PSDs (private security details). Yes, it is Blackwater."
The US embassy ordered all staff confined to the highly protected Green Zone in Baghdad on Tuesday following Sunday's shooting into a crowded square by Blackwater guards escorting a US civilian convoy through the capital.
Iraqis say civilians were killed, while Blackwater insists the convoy came under attack by insurgents.
Maliki demanded that Blackwater be replaced for the security duties. The firm provides guards for US officials and civilian employees in the war-torn country.
On Friday, the United States announced a review of the rules of engagement for guards protecting US personnel in Iraq.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told reporters she had ordered a "complete review of how we are conducting our security details ... how we are providing security to our diplomats."
"It will be a full and complete review ... including rules of engagement," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told a briefing later.
The issue of security firms is expected to be on the agenda when Maliki holds talks in New York next week at the United Nations General Assembly.
Also likely to be discussed is the draft embassy report into Iraqi government graft. Posted on the IraqSlogger.com website, it paints a grim picture of corruption at all levels.
Many departments, it says, are controlled by criminal gangs and militia while Maliki's office has shown an "open hostility" to allowing independent investigators to probe corruption cases.
The 82-page corruption report is marked "sensitive but not classified" and labelled a "working draft."
Nantongo confirmed that it is still only a draft and that there are questions about the reliability of some of the sources.
The Commission of Public Integrity (CPI), which is tasked with rooting out corruption from state institutions, is "a passive rather than a true investigative agency," the report says.
"Though legally empowered to conduct investigations, the combined security situation and the violent character of the criminal elements within the ministries make investigation of corruption too hazardous for all but a tactically robust police force with the support of the Iraqi government.
"Currently this support is lacking," it says, adding that this has allowed the "corruption to be the norm in many ministries."
"(CPI investigators) cannot be trusted to truthfully reveal criminal activity against anyone protected by the violent or powerful," the report says.
The interior ministry is seen by Iraqis as untouchable while corruption investigations in the defence ministry are judged to be ineffectual, it says.
"Several ministries are so controlled by criminal gangs or militias as to be impossible to operate (in the absence of) a tactical force protecting the investigator."
The White House said Friday that Maliki was "working hard" to fight corruption but declined to say whether he had been "adequately successful."
"We generally feel, in the administration, that they are trying to battle corruption," said spokesman Tony Fratto, who added that some corruption was to be expected in Iraq which lacks basic institutional safeguards against it.
Bush and Maliki will meet on Tuesday, the White House said.
In other developments, police said on Friday that unidentified gunmen had killed an Iraqi radio journalist in Mosul in the second such attack in Iraq's main northern city this month.
US forces also said they used a photograph to identify an Iranian they arrested in northern Iraq as a wanted bomb smuggler, amid claims by Iran the detainee is a businessman.
The Iranian was arrested on Thursday at a hotel in Sulaimaniyah, the northern city that is part of the autonomous Kurdish region.

Bunny was born in Duluth on September 15, 1928, to Patrick W. Murphy and Bertha Chase Murphy, the youngest of three children.
Artist Bertha (Bunny) Eleanor Murphy, 83, of Duluth died Wednesday, June 27, 2012, at the Benedictine Health Center after a recurrence of cancer
Bunny was born in Duluth on September 15, 1928, to Patrick W. Murphy and Bertha Chase Murphy, the youngest of three children.
She graduated from Denfeld High School in 1946 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in art from UMD in 1950. Bunny's interest in drawing began at an early age and led to her career as a graphic artist. She spent her professional life as a fashion illustrator at Oreck's and Glass Block (now Younkers), and also enjoyed painting with oils and water colors.
Bunny was a member of the Duluth Art Institute and Professional Artists of Duluth-'PAD'. She received a Special Achievement Award in 1964 for her work over many years at The Duluth Playhouse. She delivered Meals-On-Wheels and supported other civic efforts.
While in junior high and high school, encouraged by her ski-jumping brother Fred, Bunny was one of the first girls-if not the first-to test her jumping skills at Chester Bowl and Fond du Lac. In later years she enjoyed playing golf. She followed her brother Chase's lead in her love of music, enjoyed knitting and was an excellent seamstress.
She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Chase and Fred, and her long-time friend Bob Ransom Tourville. Bunny is survived by her sisters-in-law, Mary Lee Murphy and Mary Louise Murphy; niece, Colleen Ozora; nephews, Timothy, Scott and Gregory Murphy; cousins, Joyce Torvund, Colleen Lilly, Joanne Signorelli, Fred McDowell, Larry McDowell and extended family and friends.
Bertha Eleanor Murphy was gentle and kind. She treasured her family and friends as they treasured her.
A grateful thank you to the skilled and compassionate staffs at the Benedictine Health Center, St. Luke's Hospital and St. Luke's Hospice.
VISITATION: 12 noon Saturday, July 28, 2012, until the 1 p.m. memorial service in Dougherty Funeral Home. Memorials may be directed to the Benedictine Health Center or the charity of choice. Arrangements by Dougherty Funeral Home, 600 E. Second Street, Duluth, 727-3555.

Creation Ordinances
In the Old Testament God established a covenant with the Jewish people that served as the basis of the Mosaic Law. And Christ established a new covenant with Christians by His work on the cross. But what about everyone else? Are atheists and people of other religions also in a covenant relationship with God? In this lesson, Dr. Sproul explains the creation ordinances and the foundation of all law.

I am sure that they will patch in a speed increase when better batteries become available.
@ Simon, your a lamer brah. If you know anything about Android and new Android Phones you would know they don't have any lag especially Sensation and ESPECIALLY LG2X(which has the best processor by the way) and Sammy Galaxy S2. Stop lying like anyway idiot. Take a pic of your SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 and put my username next to it and upload it here. I know FOR A FACT you don't have the phone. Upload a picture and I will leave ModMyI forever.
Calling you out right now brother. You have nothing to lose except write my username on a piece of paper and put it next to your Sammy you clown.
Since I knoe you don't know Samsung Galaxy 2 S phone I suggest you do some research about stock Android, custom ROMs and overclocking. Samsung ABSOLUTELY destroys i4S in EVERY SINGLE aspect.
And if you read my post troll, you'll see the reason why iPhone sells much. Iphone is a pretty flashy phone. That's about it.
hey bunny. i just copy all of your words and paste them into google translate from english to indonesian and it says "NGOMONG DOANG" .. just google it and you'll find out what's the meaning of.
to sammy : "NICE!!!!"
Too bad about bunny. He had some posts that made sense!
Maybe he can swallow his pride, be a gentleman, and continue to HELP the modmyi world.
If not, RIP bunny
ill be doing 4s and s2 side by side comparison as soon as the 4s reaches my doorstep. for those interested check back for a link.
lol, nice one Simon.
I am def interested!
I'm looking forward to hear from users about the speed of the new phone. And the new features as well.
I consider myself a new user, so here is my lowdown. Like it, but don't love it. Speed is nice,pictures are great, gaming is truly more fluid, siri has turned out to be a minor letdown, (yes apple, we know upgrades are coming), the newsstand is annoying untill you quickly slam it into a newly created folder, and i am looking to overclock the processor(s) for a little more speed just to see how it reacts.
On the camera, the apple video showed multiple focal points, but i am not that smart i guess. I tried what they showed, but it does not work, touching the screen in multiple places for multiple focus points.
IOs 5 is fast and flashy, but the jump from 3.1.3 to 4.0 was not bad either.
Taking the phone apart is still a little scary for me, but the further i go, the easier it gets, and it STILL keeps turning on!
I have NOT been able to put the phone into DFU mode yet. Dunno if this is a bad thing or not, maybe i need to try other button combinations.
My wife loves it, and i am pleasantly surprised at a (few) features.
My personal reccomendation,
If you have a 3g or 3gs, go ahead and make the jump. If you have the 4, stay there and wait for the 5.
Just my 2¢
Just checking back in... did a few tests and the phones are very similar in day to day usage.
IPhone 4s gets 86k on browsermark while I've tweaked the s2 up to 72k....iPhone 4 was getting around 33k.
Running iOS 5, I get about 54k on browsermark using the iPhone 4.

Vertical axis wind turbine
Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set vertically and the main components are located at the base of the turbine. Among the advantages of this arrangement are that generators and gearboxes can be placed close to the ground, which makes these components easier to service and repair, and that VAWTs do not need to be pointed into the wind.[1] Major drawbacks for the early designs (Savonius, Darrieus and giromill) included the pulsatory torque that can be produced during each revolution and the huge bending moments on the blades. Later designs solved the torque issue by using the helical twist of the blades almost similar to Gorlov's water turbines.
A VAWT tipped sideways, with the axis perpendicular to the wind streamlines, functions similarly. A more general term that includes this option is "transverse axis wind turbine". For example, the original Darrieus patent,[2] includes both options.
Drag-type VAWTs, such as the Savonius rotor, typically operate at lower tipspeed ratios than lift-based VAWTs such as Darrieus rotors and cycloturbines.
General aerodynamics[edit]
The forces and the velocities acting in a Darrieus turbine are depicted in figure 1. The resultant velocity vector, , is the vectorial sum of the undisturbed upstream air velocity, , and the velocity vector of the advancing blade, .
Thus, the oncoming fluid velocity varies, the maximum is found for and the minimum is found for , where is the azimuthal or orbital blade position. The angle of attack, , is the angle between the oncoming air speed, W, and the blade's chord. The resultant airflow creates a varying, positive angle of attack to the blade in the upstream zone of the machine, switching sign in the downstream zone of the machine.
From geometrical considerations, the resultant airspeed flow and the angle of attack are calculated as follows:
where is the tip speed ratio parameter.
The resultant aerodynamic force is decomposed either in lift (F_L) - drag (D) components or normal (N) - tangential (T) components. The forces are considered acting at 1/4 chord from the leading edge (by convention), the pitching moment is determined to resolve the aerodynamic forces. The aeronautical terms lift and drag are, strictly speaking, forces across and along the approaching net relative airflow respectively. The tangential force is acting along the blade's velocity and, thus, pulling the blade around, and the normal force is acting radially, and, thus, is acting against the bearings. The lift and the drag force are useful when dealing with the aerodynamic behaviour around each blade, i.e. dynamic stall, boundary layer, etc.; while when dealing with global performance, fatigue loads, etc., it is more convenient to have a normal-tangential frame. The lift and the drag coefficients are usually normalised by the dynamic pressure of the relative airflow, while the normal and the tangential coefficients are usually normalised by the dynamic pressure of undisturbed upstream fluid velocity.
A = Surface Area
The amount of power, P, that can be absorbed by a wind turbine.
Where is the power coefficient, is the density of the air, is the swept area of the turbine, and is the wind speed.[4]
Advantages of vertical axis wind turbines[edit]
VAWTs offer a number of advantages over traditional horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs). They can be packed closer together in wind farms, allowing more in a given space. This is not because they are smaller, but rather due to the slowing effect that HAWTs have on the air, forcing designers to separate them by ten times their width.[5][6]
VAWTs are rugged, quiet, omni-directional, and they do not create as much stress on the support structure. They do not require as much wind to generate power, thus allowing them to be closer to the ground. By being closer to the ground they are easily maintained and can be installed on chimneys and similar tall structures.[7]
Research at Caltech has also shown that carefully designing wind farms using VAWTs can result in power output ten times as great as a HAWT wind farm the same size.[8]
VAWTs are also enormously quieter than HAWTs, with dB levels at ground level ten meters from the tower measured at around 95 dB for a HAWT[citation needed] – the sound of passing traffic on a busy highway measured from the road shoulder – versus 38dB for a VAWT[citation needed] – the sound of whispered conversation. This is due to several factors, starting with the much lower tip speed of VAWTs.
However most of the above claims are considered debatable by people with experience of wind engineering[who?]. There is very little history of successful VAWT operation, despite their very long history. During this history they have repeatedly been portrayed[by whom?] as innovative, more efficient, more bird-friendly, more cost-effective etc. whereas there is no factual evidence for any of these claims.[9]
Disadvantages of vertical axis wind turbines[edit]
Some disadvantages that the VAWTs possess are that they have a tendency to stall under gusty winds. VAWTs have very low starting torque, as well as dynamic stability problems. The VAWTs are sensitive to off-design conditions and have a low installation height limiting operation to lower wind speed environments.[10]
The blades of a VAWT are prone to fatigue as the blade spins around the central axis. The vertically oriented blades used in early models twisted and bent as they rotated in the wind. This caused the blades to flex and crack. Over time the blades broke apart, sometimes leading to catastrophic failure. Because of these problems, VAWTs have proven less reliable than HAWTs.[11]
Research programmes (in 2011) have sought to overcome the inefficiencies associated with VAWTs by reconfiguration of turbine placement within wind farms. It is thought that, despite the lower wind-speed environment at low elevations, "the scaling of the physical forces involved predicts that [VAWT] wind farms can be built using less expensive materials, manufacturing processes, and maintenance than is possible with current wind turbines".[12]

In Memoriam
Jim FitzGerald
July 9, 1923—October 26 2013
Jim FitzGerald passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2013 in the afternoon at his home in Paso Robles after two months in the hospital with pneumonia. Jim is survived by his wife, Lee Monaco-FitzGerald. A memorial service is planned for November 23rd 2013 at the Chapel of the Roses, Atascadero, California.
For 40 years, Jim FitzGerald ensured that every NTRAK member the latest news, announcements and updates on the Ntrak organization as well as news and information about N scale in general. For many years, Jim FitzGerald was a coordinator for the NTRAK layout at the NMRA National Convention Train Show, where many people had a chance to meet him, face-to-face. Jim worked with his wife Lee Monaco-FitzGerald to help get T-Trak going as an alternative modular standard. Today T-Trak continues to grow and thrive as it is used at shows as well as for home layouts.
When Jim first started with NTRAK, N scale was in its infancy and a very small part of model railroading. It was through NTRAK layouts that model railroading and specifically N scale was introduced to the public at shopping malls, hospital and museum shows as well as at train shows. It was NTRAK that took model railroading from the private basement to the pubic venue and it was Jim FitzGerald who helped guide, organize, publicize and encourage the NTRAK clubs that sprung up across the country and around the world.
The history of NTRAK takes up the entire July/August 2013 issue and includes a brief history of Jim's life before NTRAK. A copy of the issue can be found at: http://ntrak.org/Newsletter/NL-13-JAbw.pdf
Jim will be sorely missed by all.

T-TRAK modules are no longer available through the NTRAK store. They are now available at www.t-kits.com
NTRAK Modules are tables that "C" clamp together to form large N scale train layouts at Conventions, Shopping Malls, Club Rooms, and as Home Layouts. The basic module is two feet wide, four feet long, and 40" high. There are adjustment bolts in the legs with an a two inch adjustment range. The three tracks are common to all modules and the same electrical connectors are used on all modules. This makes setting up layouts a quick job. There are optional sizes and track locations to give a great deal of flexibility to the system. Specifications for the modules are covered in detail in the 20 page "NTRAK Module Manual" and in the 100+ page "The NTRAK Module 'How-to' Book". These, and other books on N scale modeling are available from the NTRAK Company Store..

Sheer Heart Attack
Lily Of The Valley (Mercury)
I am forever searching high and low
But why does everybody tell me no
Neptune of the seas
Have you an answer for me please
And the lily of the valley doesn't know
I lie in wait with open eyes
I carry on through stormy skies
I follow every course
My kingdom for a horse
But each time I grow old
Serpent of the Nile
Relieve me for a while
And cast me from your spell and let me go
Messenger from Seven Seas has flown
To tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne
Wars will never cease
Is there time enough for peace
But the lily of the valley doesn't know

Morningside College to hold panel discussion on "blogs" and "blogging"
Web logs, or "blogs," will be the topic of discussion when Morningside College holds the panel discussion "Death of Journalism: Blogs, Bloggers, and Blogging" on Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 11:45 a.m. in the UPS Auditorium of the Lincoln Center, 3627 Peters Avenue. The free event, sponsored by Morningside's Academic and Cultural Arts Series (ACAS), is open to the public.
The panel will discuss the nature of Web logs, who participates in "blogging," and what the mainstream media's reaction is to "blogging." A "blog" is a Web-based publication or Web site consisting primarily of periodic articles, commentaries, news articles, and recommendations, much like an online diary or journal.
Guest panelists for the discussion will be Morningside College faculty members Dr. Ross Fuglsang, associate professor of mass communication, Dr. Greg Guelcher, associate professor of history and political science, and Dr. Mark Heistad, assistant professor of mass communication at Morningside, as well as several Morningside College students.
For more information, contact Dr. Mark Heistad at (712) 274-5299, or Morningside College's office of Public Relations at (712) 274-5320.
